Management Discussion

"We believe the efforts of our restructuring are beginning to pay off and are being reflected in our top line and our operating cash flow, which was positive during the quarter for the first time since 2004," said Arotech Chairman and CEO Robert S. Ehrlich. "We are hopeful that our efforts in continued expense reduction and revenue growth will continue at an increasing pace. We are also pleased to report that at quarter end our backlog was up to $47.3 million, the highest it has ever been. A significant portion of this backlog represents third quarter orders, and we anticipate shipping virtually all of our existing backlog by mid-2007," concluded Ehrlich.
