90p offered? 8% premium to previous price? This is outrageous.. now that we are in profit at last, shareholders who have stuck with them through the bad times are getting turfed out on their ears. Well they're not having mine.

A remarkable quiet thread considering the impressive rise in the share price.
Still, it is a very tightly held stock.
Good luck all.

it would appear profit has increased during Q4 to $303,000, a greatly improved performance over the previous 3 quarters

so, if profits continue as they suggest then possible for $1.2m full year

DYOR.

Luckily still watchlist for me, not invested.

Very disappointing statement, they will be having a bad year full stop. Worth looking at for interims 07 IMO.

LEAD, VSC and MWE are my preferred ones in the Israeli tech arena, not sure why the papers are tipping AFS this weekend, LEAD and MWE are far better IMO.

* financial performance for the 6 months ended 30 June 2006 reflects

future growth

* service levels improved with substantially reduced response times and
customer complaints converting into higher client retention

* first order won in Central America

* establishing a local presence in Nigeria

* strong balance sheet following repayment of loans and $4.5 million from
operational cashflow

* second half of 2006 will show increased revenues and margins

Amos Lasker, Gilat's CEO commented:

"The review undertaken following my appointment as CEO has demonstrated that
Gilat Satcom is a high quality business with excellent potential. The actions
being taken are designed to establish an operational platform to support further
growth in our customer base, as well as to ensure that we can take full
advantage of the demand for our products and services and to achieve a high
level of profitable growth. We are starting to benefit from these actions which
we expect will result in an acceleration of revenue growth in the second half. "


...significant improvements have been achieved in customer service and
churn and the company expects that the activities being undertaken to penetrate
new markets and win new orders will accelerate revenue growth in the second
half... ..the company is taking steps to strengthen and expand its
position and customer relationships in core markets in Africa. It has also won
its first orders in Latin America and is in the process of completing a
strategic marketing review.




- Revenue for the period grew by 18.1 per cent to $16.8 million (2005: $14.2
million). This increase mainly reflects the impact of the acquisition of IP
Planet Network completed on 29 March 2005.

- The gross margin for the first 6 months of 2006 was 29.6% compared to 30.4% in
the same period last year. The slight decrease was the result of a different
sales mix with an increased proportion during the period coming from sales of
internet connectivity to large customers.

- Operating profit was $0.9 million (2005: $1.7 million) and profit before tax was
$0.3 million (2005: $1.3 million), mainly as the result of the costs associated
with expanding Gilat Satcom's marketing, sales and customer service capabilities
during the period.

- Net debt (bank loans less cash) was $7.5 million at 30 June 2006 compared to
$11.5 million at 31 December 2005. The company has repaid bank loans of $5.7
million during the first six months of 2006 as well as renegotiating the terms
of other bank debt totalling $14.8 million.

- Cash flow from operations for the 6 months was $4.5 million which, together with
cash reserves, was used mainly to repay loans and to buy equipment to support a
facility upgrade following the operational review.

- The company expects that the second half of the year will show increased
revenues and margins as a result of the steps taken during the first half and
following the operational and strategic marketing reviews.



Revenue growth has been achieved across a range of products and services.
Following a new order won in April 2006, Gilat Satcom is the main provider of
broadband internet connectivity to Telekom Kenya, Kenya's national
telecommunications company. The company has established a presence through
resellers in Tanzania, where its first 20 sites are now being implemented, and
continued to expand in Nigeria with a successful promotion resulting in
approximately 80 new VSAT customers to enable broadband internet to smaller
businesses. The company has won orders for data storage solutions in Uganda Cote
d'Ivoire and Zambia, mainly with GSM operators, banks and telcos, as well as
signing voice agreements with large operators in Zambia and South Africa.

The company has successfully entered the Central American market with its first
order this year, worth $400,000 per annum, from a customer in Nicaragua.
Management anticipates that this region will become an important contributor to
future growth.

The company is in final stages of establishing a subsidiary in Nigeria, in order
to have a local presence and to improve service to customers as well as sales.
In addition, the company is in discussions with various satellite owners for the
purchase of new transponder capacity to serve African markets.

During the period, the company also bought fiber optic cable capacity, to
support a number of African markets, for a minimum period of 10 years at a cost
$1.3 million. This lease has been treated as a financial lease and the company
will pay the consideration over the next two years.

Current trading and outlook

As a result of the actions completed and planned, following the operational and
strategic marketing reviews undertaken, the Board is confident that the company
can sustain strong, profitable growth over the next few years.

Thanks for that MT.
Thought this would look decent value at circa 80p - plenty of coverage and decent volume going back the last few months too. Though if there is a nasty in their update next week then that blows all that out the window.
