GEDERA, Israel, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TAT Technologies Limited (Nasdaq: TATTF), reported today reissued its results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 to include its consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 in order to comply with NASDAQ requirements.

    Total Revenues    45,443          100.0%         48,091          100.0%

Revenues did not vary significantly during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared with the three month period ended June 30, 2007, whereas we experienced a 5.5% decrease in revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared with the six month period ended June 30, 2007 resulted from a decrease in the Parts segment during the reported periods compared with those of year 2007, primarily attributed to a one-time transaction the Part segment experienced during the first half of 2007.

The decrease in net income for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared with those of June 30, 2007, is primarily attributable to the decreased revenues of the Part segment. Also impacting net income was Limco-Piedmont initial offering from July 2007, following which (i) our holdings reduced from 100% to 62%, hence our results for the reported periods included minority interest that effectively decreased our net profit compared to first half of 2007; and (ii) the decrease in the net profit of Limco-Piedmont from $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, mainly attributed to increased materials labor costs associated with cost of revenues.
