Financial review

Orpak is pleased to announce strong growth in revenues and net profits for the
fourth quarter and 12 months of 2007, reflecting continued strong momentum of
demand for its products and services in key territories, in particular Europe,
Asia and Africa regions.

Fourth quarter revenues increased by 28% to $16.8m (2006: $13.1m) and net
profits increased by 31% to $2.7m (2006: $2.0m). Net profits for fourth quarter
2007, prior to the provision of expenses for stock option plans that amounted to
$2.8m. Fully diluted earnings per share were 7.8 cents (2006: 6.1 cents).

Sales and marketing expenditure amounted to $3.3m compared with $2.7m in 2006 as
the Company continued to expand its global sales infrastructure.

Turnover in the twelve months to 31 December rose 29% year on year to $58.0m
(2006: $45.0m). Net profits increased by 30% to $9.0m in the twelve months
(2006: $6.9m). Net profit excluding the provision of expenses for stock option
plans was $9.5m. Fully diluted earnings per share were 26.4 cents (2006: 20.6
cents), up 28%.

Operating review

Orpak continued to gain market share in its established territories and made
further inroads into new territories. To date, Orpak's systems have been
delivered to approximately 10,000 petrol stations and 1.9 million vehicles
across 30 countries.

Twelve month revenues in Europe increased by 38% to $40.1m (2006: $29.1m),
maintaining the region's position as the largest revenue contributor to the
Company at 69%. The revenue growth reflected the impact of major orders
including contracts with oil companies in several countries in Eastern Europe.
The orders were delivered on time and within budget, consolidating Orpak's
position in Eastern Europe.

The Company announced that it has signed a contract with BP - a major global Oil
Company - to equip a network of 580 stations in Turkey with station automation
and fuel payment systems based on vehicle identification of 65,000 vehicles.
Under the terms of the agreement, Orpak commenced the supply, installation and
commissioning of its management system in the petrol stations in fourth quarter
2007 and this process will be completed during the first quarter of 2008. Orpak
will be paid $5m in stages.

The Company also made good progress in sales to retail networks in Spain and the
Netherlands.

Asia/Africa continued to set the pace of growth at the Company level, driven by
Orpak's strong presence in India. The Company made significant progress in
executing current orders with two of India's leading petroleum companies. The
Company shipped an additional 990 end-to-end retail management systems in the
quarter to HPCL and IOCL, two of India's biggest oil companies, increasing the
total number of systems delivered to these customers to 1,360. Progress was also
made in South Africa, where thousands of Vehicle Units were delivered to the
retail market, contributing $1.8m in revenue. Asia and Africa combined increased
their revenue in 2007 by about 75% to $7.2m (2006: $4.1m).

On Dec 31, 2007 the Company announced that its fully owned subsidiary, Delpak
Systems (the "Buyer") has entered into a series of agreements with the
controlling persons of two affiliated foreign corporations, for the purchase of
51% of the issued share capital of the Acquired Corporations. The Acquired
Corporations engage in the development of software for solutions for the
management of convenience stores located in fueling stations worldwide and
support services for such solutions. The consideration for the Purchased Shares
has been set to an amount of approximately US$3.4 million. The Buyer has also
undertaken to pay to the Sellers additional consideration, based on agreed
profit multipliers with respect to the annual profits of the Acquired
Corporations for the years 2007 to 2009. In addition, the Buyer and the Sellers
have granted each other Put and Call options (exercisable during the years 2012
and 2013), for the acquisition of the remainder of the Sellers' shares in the
Acquired Corporations. The exercise price of the option will be determined
through an earn out which will be based on the annual profits of the Acquired
Corporations in the two years preceding the exercise of the option and using
agreed profit multipliers. Orpak estimates the total consideration for the
Acquired Corporations will be in the region of US$15m.

Further to the purchase made on 2 April 2007 of a 51% interest in a
privately-owned company in Eastern Europe - the company's business involves
installation and maintenance services for Orpak's fuel station automation and
vehicle identification systems in the Eastern European region including Ukraine,
Bulgaria and Romania. This activity had a positive contribution to Orpak's
revenue and net profit.

Dividend

In line with the Group's policy, the Directors have declared a final dividend of
NIS 0.24 per Ordinary Share in respect of the year ended Dec 31, 2007. This
amount will be converted to US Dollars per the exchange rate on the date the
dividend is paid. For convenience, as of today, the above-mentioned dividend is
equivalent to US$0.07 per Ordinary Share.

The dividend will be paid on 21 March 2008, to shareholders on the record date 7
March 2008 with the ex dividend date 5 March 2008.
The Total final dividend amounts to NIS 8.1m (which as mentioned above, is
equivalent to US$ 2.25m).

Net cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2007 increased to $28.8m (2006:
$25.5 m).

Outlook

Orpak continues to benefit from buoyant trading conditions across all key
markets and is strongly positioned to deliver long term growth through
consistent organic expansion. In addition, the Company's strategy is to augment
its growth through selective acquisitions.

The Company entered the first quarter 2008 with a robust order book including a
high-level of repeat business. As a result, the Board looks forward to
delivering further significant revenue growth in the year 2008, compared with
the corresponding periods last year.
