RNS Number:7789L Pilat Technologies International Ld 02 June 2003 PILAT TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL LTD ("PTI", the "Group" or the "Company") Results for Quarter One ended 31 March 2003 London and Tel Aviv 30 May 2003 - Pilat Technologies International Ltd ("PTI "or the "Company"), the AIM quoted human resources management consultancy, software and services group, announces its results for the first quarter of 2003 (the " Period"). PTI is also quoted on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. SUMMARY Operating loss for Q1 2003 was #185,000 (# 314,000 in Q1 2002). The expenses of PTI's two core HR software, consulting and services businesses, in the UK and the USA were lower than in 2002. The sales for the two business units were also higher. We have adopted several cost cutting measures in Israel, which will take effect in June 2003 and will save approximately #200,000 on an annual basis. Further rationalisation undertaken in the US will achieve additional savings during the next quarters. Enquiries: Pilat Technologies International Ltd 00 972-3-767-9230 Chaim Helfgott, Chief Financial Officer Chairman's Statement Revenues and profitability Overall sales in Q1 2003 fell by approximately 10% to #2,766,000, from #3,060,000 in Q1 2002. However, gross profit remained at the same #1.1 million level reflecting an increase in gross margin from 36% to 39%. The increased profitability stems mainly from the operations in the US and UK. As a result of the cost saving actions taken across the group and especially in Israel, General and Administration costs for the Period decreased by 18%, to #863,000. Selling and Marketing costs increased slightly to #384,000 (from #354,000 in 2002), due to the generation of higher sales in the UK and US. PTI suffered an operating loss of #185,000 in Q1 2003 compared to a #314,000 loss for the equivalent period of 2002. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations included in the quarterly figures was positive in Q1,2003 (#4,000 gain resulting from the Shekel strengthening against the pound) compared with a negative impact in Q1 2002 (#63,000 loss for the Shekel weakening against the pound) Balance Sheet The Company's current assets at 31 March 2003 were #5,335,000, which represents approximately 82% of assets (82 % at Q1 2002 and 81.5% at 31 December 2002). On 31 March 2003 the fixed assets were #965,000 (#1,139,000 at 31 December 2002). The reduction in fixed assets was due to amortisation. Current liabilities decreased slightly from #4,812,000 at the end of 2002 to #4,585,000 as a result of a decrease in accounts payable and trade debtors, as explained below. Long-term liabilities increased slightly to #225,000 (#217,000 at 31 December 2002). The company's current ratio is a healthy 1.16. Shareholders' equity decreased to #1,726,000. Liquidity The Company had a negative cash flow of #867,000 from its operations during the Period, compared with a higher negative cash flow of #1,109,000 in the equivalent period of 2002. The negative cash flow was mainly due to a #745,000 reduction in accounts payable, of which an approximate #544,600 payment of suppliers was made by Pilat Israel. The funds to pay off most of those suppliers of Pilat Israel had already been advanced to Pilat Israel in December 2002. In addition, Renaissance, which had sales in December 2002 amounting to approximately #610,000, paid off approximately #100,000 of its suppliers before collecting from its customers during the Period. During the equivalent period of 2002 the company suffered a #1,109,000 negative cash flow from operations. The Company used #291,000 for investment activities mainly by investing #297,000 of its cash equivalent in short term deposits. Increased short-term credit provided #404,000 from financing activities.

These financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2002, and their accompanying notes. NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies applied in the audited annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31 2002 are applied consistently in these financial statements. NOTE 3:- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN BRITISH POUNDS a. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel. b. The Company's transactions are recorded in New Israeli Shekels. However, the Company's management has determined the British pounds as its primary reporting currency since the majority of the Group revenues are in foreign currency and a substantial portion of the fixed assets is purchased in foreign currency. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the British pounds are remeasured using the foreign exchange rate at balance sheet date. Operational accounts and non-monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. The effects of foreign currency remeasurement are reported in current operations. NOTE 4:- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On February 26 2002, the procedure for the spin-off of the Company's media activity to PMG was completed. In the context of this procedure, the assets and liabilities of the media industry were transferred to the spinning company against capital surplus. In view of the aforementioned, the assets, liabilities and results of Pilat were presented in the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations and the comparative figures were reclassified. Following are the results of the discontinued operations from the three months periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2002: Three months ended Year ended March 31, December 31, 2003 2002 2002 Unaudited Audited Revenues from sales - 572 572 Cost of sales and services - 372 372 Gross profit - 200 200 Research and development costs - 278 278 Selling and marketing expense, net - 73 73 General and administrative expenses - 441 441 Operating loss - (592) (592) Financial income (expenses), net (1) - 3 (3) Other income (expenses), net - (54) 54 Loss from discontinued operations - (643) (643) (1) Including gain from sale of activity.
