·; We have been encouraged by the progress in the third quarter in terms of revenue and orders, and expect a much improved second half compared to the first half.

Operational Highlights

 

·; SimiGon continues to support Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter ("JSF") training program, as the Company's SIMbox Learning Management System ("LMS") was selected by Lockheed Martin ("LM") for JSF pilot training systems. This project is expected to positively impact SimiGon's revenues in future years.

·; The strategic project with LM for the Advance Jet Training and Rear Crew phases of the UK Military Flying Training System is successfully being supported by SimiGon, and LM delivered its first delivery of Flight Training Devices ("FTD") based on SimiGon's technology.

·; The Company's training and simulation platform, SIMbox, was selected for a lucrative Unmanned Aerial Vehicle program, a Joint Terminal Attack Controller program, a Crane Operator training program and as the infrastructure for a Homeland Security Lab.

·; Reflecting the success of the training systems that SimiGon provides to the Israeli Air Force ("IAF"), SimiGon delivered a new Electronic Warfare trainer for the IAF.

·; SimiGon continues its $2 million contract with a strategic European customer. According to this contract, SimiGon is the Simulation Based Training (SBT) system provider for its client's new Academic Training Center and is its baseline solution for other similar programs.

·; The Company continues to invest in further advanced development of the SIMbox technology infrastructure, providing complete Web-based simulation through Full Mission Simulator capabilities for organizations seeking to improve their training, training management and increase operational readiness. The improved capabilities and performance of the simulation and LMS platform, position SIMbox as a leading application and serve to increase the Company's growth potential.

 

Ami Vizer, Chief Executive Officer of SimiGon stated: "Although our results for the six months ended 30 June 2010 were below our expectations, they reflect the challenging economic conditions and the industry's normal seasonality. However, we continue to be successful in growing our markets and primary partners. We are excited by the activities of our customers in this period, and believe that, existing programs such as the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, as well as the UK's Military Flying Training System will positively impact SimiGon's revenue in the next 12 months. SimiGon is maintaining its focus on the development of our next generation products whilst having effective expense controls, and the Company continues to make significant progress in this regard. The Company's market position remains strong as a leading training and simulation supplier in the world's top pilot training programmes and our partnership-oriented business model, sound technology and unique products provide a solid growth platform for the company."

Overview

 

SimiGon has established a leading position in the market of PC-based training and simulation solutions, as a preferred supplier of training and simulation technologies for the world's largest military flight training programmes.
