Magal Reports Second Quarter 2008 Revenues of $25 Million Representing a
78% Year-Over-Year Increase

Wednesday July 30, 6:30 am ET

Net Income on a Non-GAAP Basis for the Second Quarter Increases 108%
Year-Over-Year to $0.9 Million

YAHUD, Israel, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems Ltd.
(Nasdaq GM: MAGS; TASE: MAGS) today announced its consolidated financial results
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter 2008 Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 increased 77.6% reaching US$25.0
million, compared to US$14.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. Effective
September 1, 2007, Magal's financial statements consolidate the results of a
European integration company acquired in August 2007. Following the sale in
December 2007 of Magal's U.S. based video monitoring business operated by Smart
Interactive Systems Inc., the results of this business were reclassified as
discontinued operations.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 increased by 47.6%, reaching US$9.5
million (38.0% of revenues) compared with $6.4 million (45.7% of revenues) in
the second quarter of 2007. Gross margin for the quarter was adversely affected
by the ongoing weakening of the US dollar against the Israeli Shekel as well as
the shift in revenue mix towards larger scale integration projects.

Operating expenses on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2008 were US$8.7
million or 34.7% of sales, compared to US$5.6 million or 39.6% of revenues on a
non-GAAP and GAAP basis in the second quarter 2007. Operating expenses on a
non-GAAP basis, for the second quarter of 2008, totalled US$7.6 million or 30.2%
of revenues.

The operating expenses for the quarter, on a GAAP basis, included a US$1.1
million amortization of intangible assets relating to a recently acquired
European subsidiary. Operating expenses for the quarter were also adversely
affected by the devaluation of the US dollar against the Israeli Shekel and the
Canadian Dollar, increasing operating expenses by approximately US$0.7 million
for the quarter compared with the second quarter of 2007.

Operating income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 decreased 4.4%
reaching US$0.8 million (3.3% of revenues) compared to US$0.9 million (6.1% of
revenues) in the second quarter of 2007 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Operating
income on a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 increased 125.4%
reaching US$1.9 million (7.7% of revenues).

Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 reached US$0.1 million
compared with net income of $0.3 million in the second quarter 2007. Diluted
earnings per share on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2008 was $0.01
compared to $0.03 in the second quarter of 2007.

Net income on a non-GAAP basis, totalled US$0.9 million, compared with non-GAAP
net income of US$0.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. Diluted non-GAAP
earnings per share for the second quarter totalled US$0.09 compared to non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share of US$0.04 in the same quarter of last year.

"We are particularly encouraged by our strong revenue growth over last year and
our improved non-GAAP operating profitability this quarter," commented Izhar
Dekel, CEO of Magal. "This year is shaping up as an exceptionally strong year in
terms of revenue growth, which increases our confidence in realizing our target
of doubling revenues within the next four to five years. We are also encouraged
by our operating margin improvement which represents the initial fruits of our
efforts to focus on increasing profitability. At the same time, we are
successfully executing on our strategy of becoming a more project focused
company, winning a number of high profile projects."





Continued Mr. Dekel, "Over the past year, we have won a number of orders for
municipal security systems based on our Fortis system, which is becoming a
growth engine and strong revenue generator for Magal. While the majority of our
project wins have to date been for municipalities in Israel and there still
remains significant potential within Israel, we see far greater prospects for
this system outside of Israel. We have already won some international orders
based on our local success and we are competing in a number of other
international tenders at magnitudes greater than what we have seen so far."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this release of
operating results also contains non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company
believes are the principal indicators of the operating and financial performance
of its business. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of
stock-based compensation charges recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R as well
as amortization of customer related intangible assets and a loss associated with
a discontinued operation. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures
provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's
on-going core operations and prospects for the future, as the charges eliminated
are not part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational
activities of the Company. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as
a basis for strategic decisions, forecasting future results and evaluating the
Company's current performance. However, such measures should not be considered
in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are
provided in the schedules attached to this release.

The Company will be hosting its quarterly conference call later today at 9:00am
ET. On the call, management will review and discuss the second quarter 2008
