Commenting on the results, the FTS Chief Financial Officer, Alon Raz, said, “In 2007, FTS focused substantial efforts on recovering from the losses incurred during 2006 by the toll road project. We have also completed a highly efficient, widespread reorganization, enabling us to cope more efficiently with the challenges of a changing market. We are pleased to announce that we have been successful in both these endeavors, bringing the company back to substantial profitability. This turnaround is testament to the management’s experience and dedication, and to the company’s ability to overcome major obstacles. Our management team can now focus its attention on growing the business, and we strongly believe that with our current pipeline of orders, FTS can return to consistent growth, in terms of both profitability and revenues.”

“Our 2007 financial results have proven the strength of our management strategy. While comparable vendors have reported growth at any cost, often incurring heavy losses, the FTS conservative strategy resulted in profitability in 2007,” said Amos Sivan, the FTS Chief Executive Officer. “In line with this approach and following our track record of successful M&As in the past, we are now turning our focus to growth and examining potential mergers and acquisitions, based on our long term strategy of non-organic growth parallel to organic growth. We expect to continue on the path of strong, stable growth in the future, as we have an extensive pipeline and a consolidated roadmap of products and solutions.”
