Management comments:
Barry Shaked, President and Chief Executive Officer of Retalix, said, "The results of the second quarter demonstrate how we are executing on the profitability goals we have set for 2008. The improvement in profitability, which began in the first quarter, continued and grew in the second quarter. At the same time, we are proud of reaching record quarterly revenues. We are delivering on our plan and are making progress with our turnaround. We believe that we can continue to build on these results throughout 2008."
Hugo Goldman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said: "During the second quarter of 2008, we used $1.2 million in operating activities, compared to $1.5 million used in the second quarter of 2007. This includes a tax payment of $2.3 million for a previous year. We expect cash flow from operations to continue the improvement trend in the coming quarters. As of June 30, 2008, we had $28.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and practically no debt."
Shaked added: "Although retailers and distributors are cautiously evaluating economic conditions, they are largely moving ahead with IT investment plans. Industry analysts from AMR Research recently noted(i), that the economy may cause delays in planned investments, but few retailers will be willing to turn their backs on key IT investments, realizing that slashing budgets in the short term jeopardizes their health in the long term."
"Although new deals are taking longer to be closed, we believe that we can achieve the goals we have set for 2008 of total revenues exceeding $232 million, GAAP net income of $8 million, and adjusted, non-GAAP* net income of $15 million. We also continue to believe that our investments in product development and in penetration into new territories will pay off in the coming years," Shaked concluded.

* Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Retalix uses non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, and charges in connection with expenses relating to acquisitions that did not materialize. Retalix's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's on-going core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are contained following the GAAP financial statements in this press release. Reconciliation between GAAP to non-GAAP outlook for 2008 is provided in the table below.
