FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS SUMMARY

Cash and short term deposits net of bank debt, as of March 31, 2014, were $33.9 million, or $2.10 per share, compared with cash and short term deposits net of current bank debt of $36.3 million, or $2.25 per share, on December 31, 2013.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Mr. Eitan Livneh, President and CEO of Magal, said, "Our first quarter marked a turning point for us. While not yet evident in our financial results, I am encouraged by the recent strong pick-up in activity in all our geographic markets. Our backlog has increased strongly in the past few months and as we move through 2014 we are seeing that projects which were delayed last year, are beginning to move ahead. I believe Magal is very well positioned to take advantage of the current economic up-trends."
Continued Mr. Livneh, "I expect that in 2014 we will demonstrate significant revenue growth over 2013 and believe that our ongoing business will be profitable for the year. We are actively engaged in pursuing synergistic acquisitions and we hope to realize some of the fruits of these efforts in 2014 and beyond."
