Press Release

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Major Center Bold 1-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Eltek Reports Q2 2009 Financial Results :

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, August 18, 2009 (NASDAQ:ELTK) – Eltek Ltd., the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced flex-rigid circuitry solutions, today announced its financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $8.4 million, an 11% decrease compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a 26% decrease compared with revenues of $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to the influence of the global economic recession and in the German market in particular, which had a material adverse affect on the operations of Kubatronik Leiterplatten GmbH, the Company’s subsidiary in Germany. While revenues of the German subsidiary have improved in July and August, the Company is continuing to closely monitor its operations, as it is uncertain as to when such operations will return to their former levels of activity.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.3 million (16% of revenues), compared with gross profit of $1.7 million (15% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $183,000 or ($0.03) per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $326,000 or ($0.05) per fully diluted share in the second quarter of 2008. The net loss in the second quarter of 2009 is attributable to the reduced sales of the Company’s German subsidiary, which was offset by a significant reduction in its expenses. The Company succeeded in reducing costs at its main facility in Israel, which allowed it to achieve break-even operations at that facility.

First Six-Months 2009:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, were $17.9 million compared with revenues of $ 21.8 million for the comparable period in 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Gross profit for the first six months of 2009 was $3 million (17% of revenues), compared with gross profit of $2.7 million (13% of revenues) in the first six months of 2008. Despite the decrease in revenues, gross profit margins in the first six months of 2009 were slightly higher than in the same period in 2008, mainly due to reduced manufacturing expenses and the higher U.S. dollar exchange rate.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was $78,000, or ($0.01) per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.17) per fully diluted share for the same period in 2008. The improved operating results are mainly attributable to the Company’s efforts to reduce expenses and the higher U.S. dollar exchange rate compared to the same period in 2008.

EBITDA:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Eltek had EBITDA of $411,000 compared with an EBITDA of $479,000 in the second quarter of 2008. In the first six months of 2009, Eltek had EBITDA of $1.1 million compared with EBITDA of $303,000 in the same period in 2008.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

ELTEK uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company’s business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between the company’s results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations

Management Comments:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek commented: “In the second quarter, our success in the US market continued and we experienced an increase in revenues from this market both on a sequential basis and in comparison to the same period last year. On the other hand, Eltek’s second quarter was negatively influenced by the slowdown in the global economy and to a significantly greater extent the impact of the German market on the revenues of our German subsidiary, Kubatronik Leiterplatten GmbH. Nonetheless, looking forward to the second half of 2009, we anticipate increased demand for our products in the U.S. and Israeli markets. We are pleased with the recently obtained ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) approval which has already assisted us in the U.S. defense market, which we expect to become more significant to our Company in 2010.”

Amnon Shemer , CFO of Eltek, added: “During the second quarter of 2009, we obtained a new $ 1 million line of credit of from another bank, allowing us to deal better with the changing market conditions. Our ability to obtain a credit facility from a new bank reflects their confidence in our Company and our reputation in the finance market in Israel. “

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

“We have adjusted our expenses at our facilities in Israel and Germany in order to better deal with the decrease in revenues, mainly through reduced working hours, salary cuts and more efficient raw material consumption in our production line, thus our results of operations were break-even in Israel.” Mr. Shemer concluded.
