Magal Security Systems Ltd. Announces Second Quarter 2005 Results

Thursday July 28, 7:00 am ET

Second Quarter 2005 Revenues Increased 19% YoY and 25% Sequentially With Net
Income Showing 63% Sequential Growth 

YAHUD, Israel, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems Ltd.
(Nasdaq NM:MAGS; TASE:MAGS) today announced its consolidated financial results
for the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 reached US$17.3 million, an increase of
19 percent compared with the second quarter of 2004 and an increase of 24.7
percent over the first quarter of 2005.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 reached US$7.4 million (43.1 percent
of revenues), an increase of 14.2 percent over the second quarter of 2004 and an
increase of 18.6 percent compared with first quarter of 2005.

Operating and net income in the second quarter of 2005, reached US$809,000 and
US$481,000, respectively, compared with operating and net loss of US$(345,000)
and US$(739,000) respectively, for the second quarter of 2004.

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded an expense of US$1.2 million
relating to an award granted by the Company's two principal shareholders out of
their personal funds to all of the Company's employees. According to generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), this grant was
recorded as an expense in the second quarter of 2004, although it did not affect
the Company's shareholders' equity nor its statement of cash flow.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter was US$0.05, compared with
diluted loss per share of US$(0.09) in the same period last year.

Revenues for the first six months of 2005 reached US$31.1 million, an increase
of 8.3 percent compared with the same period in 2004. Operating income and net
income for the six-month period, reached US$1.7 million and US$ 776,000,
respectively, compared with operating income and net loss of US$ 872,000 and US$
(52,000) respectively, for the first six months of 2004.

Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period was US$0.08, compared with
diluted loss per share of US$(0.01) in the same period of last year.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal and CEO, said:
"As expected, the second quarter of 2005 showed improvement over the first
quarter of 2005 and the second quarter of 2004. Management expects the increase
in revenues, as well as in operating and net income to continue into the second
half of the year as well, due to the increase in the Company's backlog of
orders."

Mr. Even-Ezra added: "Our net income grew sequentially by 63%. However, due to
the increased share count of 1,700,000 shares issued in to the secondary
offering completed in April, our earnings per share grew sequentially by 40%.
With that, I would like to welcome the many top institutional investment funds
that invested in the secondary, as well as all our other new shareholders, and
hope that you stay with us for the long-term."







The Company also announced that at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
that took place today, the following directors were re-elected to the board:
Jacob Even-Ezra, Izhar Dekel, Nathan Kirsh, Jacob Nuss, Jacob Perry and Zeev
Livne.

The Company also announced that all other matters on the agenda on the notice of
annual general meeting of shareholders were approved.

The Company will be hosting its quarterly conference call at 11:00am EST. On the
call, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of the Board & CEO, and Ms. Raya Asher, V.P.
Finance & CFO, will review and discuss the second quarter 2005 results. They
