financial expenses of the period increased to

Commenting on the results, Zvika Alon, RADA's CEO said, "The revenues and
gross profits of the first quarter have improved compared to the Q1 2007
results. Traditionally we have experienced that the first half of the year is
weaker than the second, we maintain our view that we will continue to show
improvement in our orders backlog resulting from our marketing efforts. While
our production deliveries keep increasing, we plan to continue investing
during 2008 in research and development mainly in our new Inertial Navigation
product line."
