Key Highlights

MIND C.T.I. LTD. (NASDAQ: MNDO), a leading global provider of real-time mediation, rating, billing and customer care solutions for pre-paid and post-paid voice, data and content, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Monica Eisinger, President and CEO, commented: "We are extremely pleased with our revenue growth and improved operating income. For the last eight quarters we have succeeded to increase our revenue, invest in the future and at the same time improve our net income. We have achieved another step in our plan to reach operating margins of 18% in the medium term and over 20% in the long term. Our first quarter results reflect the increase in the deal size at MIND for the billing sector and the improving environment in the enterprise sector. We believe that there is a slight current improvement in both the telecom and the enterprise market, especially thanks to the IP solutions acceptance and we are in the process of increasing our employee force to address future needs and to better support our growing customer base. We expect to see further sequential revenue growth and improved operating income."

As of March 31, 2004, we had 206 employees in our offices in the United States, Romania, China and Israel.
