Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $145 thousand or $0.01 loss per share, compared with a net loss of $896 thousand, or $0.04 loss per share in the second quarter of 2001 and with a net loss of $635 thousand or $0.03 loss per share, in the first quarter of 2002. During the second quarter of 2002 MIND’s cash position increased by $0.4 million and on June 30, 2002 MIND’s cash position was $40.2 million.

Monica Eisinger, MIND’s President and CEO, commented: “We recorded significant achievements during the second quarter, including a multi-year contract with H3G Italy (a Hutchison Whampoa company), that positions us as a leading vendor for mediation and service enabling in the 3G industry. We anticipated the need for real-time solutions for enabling multiple IP services, invested in this direction and thanks to our technology entered this new and evolving market.”

Eisinger continued, “We are particularly pleased with our success in increasing our revenue during these difficult times which, we believe, indicates that we have increased our overall market share. We believe that we are making important progress in our on-going efforts to improve our operating results and to return to profitability. Our financial performance in the second quarter reflects our success in increasing efficiency for the third consecutive quarter. We are confident that we are well positioned to overcome the current challenging period and to experience significant growth once the market recovers.”

During the second quarter of 2002, one of MIND’s outside directors was replaced. Mr. Zamir Bar Zion, who was until recently a Managing Director of an investment bank, has been elected to replace Mr. Ami Amir as an outside director of the company. Mr. Amir resigned in order to pursue other business opportunities and MIND expressed its gratitude to Mr. Amir for his contribution to the company over the past year.
