International activities for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 were 28% and 26% of total revenues compared to 21% and 23% in the comparable periods of 2009, respectively.

For the third quarter of 2010, gross profit decreased 3.6% to $6.8 million from $7 million in the third quarter of 2009.

It is important to note that in the second quarter of 2009, Pointer recorded a non-cash impairment of $3.0 million. Excluding this non-cash impairment, operating income in the first nine months of 2009, was $5.8 million.

Net income attributable to a non-controlling interest in affiliates in the third quarter of 2010 was $0.1 million, as compared to net income of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Before the effect of the exclusion of earnings relating to non-controlling interests in accordance with SFAS 160, net income, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 was $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $0.7 million for the same periods in 2009.

EBITDA: Pointer's EBITDA for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2010 decreased to $2.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, as compared to $3.6 million and $9.3 million in the comparable periods in 2009.

Danny Stern, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results, "The results for the third quarter of 2010 reflect the continued positive trends that we are seeing in most of the markets we operate in and demonstrate solid revenue growth over last year. This has clearly been driven by our large customer base and the services we provide. We have also been very happy to see our overseas activities and revenues growing. We are continuing with our efforts to expand our customer base while improving our product mix. To that end, we have broadened our activities, including the leading of driver safety programs in both Israel and in Brazil. Additionally, Shagrir is expected to commence providing towing services to the Israeli police for vehicles that were involved in accidents or were stolen. Furthermore, beginning December 2010, Shagrir will begin providing installation services to one of the major car importers to Israel. CAR2GO continues to expand and now provides services to additional Israeli cities."

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Pointer uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization including in respect of our non-cash impairment charge related to the fair market value of the business with certain customers from our acquisition of Cellocator. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.

EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our three most recent acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

    Reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA
    Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Operating Results

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation the GAAP to non-GAAP operating results:

EBITDA: Pointer's EBITDA for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2010 decreased to $2.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, as compared to $3.6 million and $9.3 million in the comparable periods in 2009.

Danny Stern, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results, "The results for the third quarter of 2010 reflect the continued positive trends that we are seeing in most of the markets we operate in and demonstrate solid revenue growth over last year. This has clearly been driven by our large customer base and the services we provide. We have also been very happy to see our overseas activities and revenues growing. We are continuing with our efforts to expand our customer base while improving our product mix. To that end, we have broadened our activities, including the leading of driver safety programs in both Israel and in Brazil. Additionally, Shagrir is expected to commence providing towing services to the Israeli police for vehicles that were involved in accidents or were stolen.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Pointer uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization including in respect of our non-cash impairment charge related to the fair market value of the business with certain customers from our acquisition of Cellocator. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.

EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our three most recent acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

    Reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA
    Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Operating Results

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation the GAAP to non-GAAP operating results:
