FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BUSINESS NEWS

Top Image Systems launches 2009 with a
Successful First Quarter

– First quarter revenues of $6.1 million and operating profit of $0.3 million
– Conference call today at 10:00 am ET to discuss results

Tel Aviv, Israel – May 13, 2009 – Top Image Systems, Ltd. (TIS) (NASDAQ: TISA , TASE: TISA), the leading innovator of data capture solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter, ended March 31, 2009.

First Quarter Highlights

Margins were strong across the board with first quarter operating margin at 5.1% andgross margin at 57%, the highest in the last eight quarters;
Executing on strategy and discontinued sales of low-margin third-party hardware leading to higher margins;
Successfully increased software revenues year-over-year;
Strong performance in Continental Europe;
Sales pipeline is stable and diversified;
Increased portion of larger deal wins including governmental business;

First Quarter 2009 Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2009 reached $6.1 million. This represents a decrease of 33% from the first quarter of 2008, and a decrease of 6% compared with the fourth quarter of 2008. The sequential and year-over-year decline in revenues is in line with the Company’s strategy to increase profitability, and is primarily due to the absence of lower margin third-party and now discontinued hardware sales in Asia. 47% of first quarter revenues were generated from products and 53% from services.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2009 reached $0.3 million compared with an operating income of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 and operating loss of $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $1.4 million, compared to a net income of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 and to a net income of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.



Loss per share in the first quarter of 2009 was $0.15, compared with fully diluted earnings per share of $0.13 in the first quarter of 2008 and a loss per share of $0.13 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net income in the quarter was negatively impacted by the financial expenses in the quarter, which amounted to $1.7 million, compared with a financial income of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 and a financial income of $5.1 million in the prior quarter.

It is important to note that since the beginning of 2008, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement no. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“FAS 159”). Therefore the Company’s debenture is currently accounted for its fair value. This fair value is based on a base debenture market price and also depends on the exchange rate between the Israeli Shekel and US Dollar. These values change on a daily basis, are not under the control of the Company and are unrelated to the operating performance of the Company.

The Company experienced a high level of financing expenses in the quarter due to the increase in the fair value of the debentures. This was due to the substantial increase in the traded market value of the debentures.

This financial charge is a non-cash expense in nature and has no affect on operating income.

Management comment

“We are pleased with the results of the quarter,” commented Dr. Ido Schechter, CEO of Top Image Systems. “We demonstrated a strong improvement in our margins, and this is a testament to the success of our strategy in ending our low-margin hardware sales, as well as our focus on tightly controlling costs and increasing profitability. We took some early and correct decisions last year to significantly reduce costs, including the closure of our Guangzhou office in China, and as we move into 2009 we are already seeing the fruits of these efforts.”

“We are also pleased with our revenue levels and our strong growth in software sales, which came in as we had budgeted. This was driven by particularly strong performance in Europe, and in Germany in particular. In fact, our EMEA team won sixteen new projects in the quarter, due to our superior technology and performance vis-à-vis the competition, and this is despite the weak economic climate in these regions. We occupy a niche market associated with efficiency and improved processes, which can easily demonstrate a quick return on a small investment. Thus, I believe our business is defensive in nature, which is especially invaluable in this global economic environment.”

Dr. Schechter concluded, “Our pipeline remains stable and strong, and we are targeting bigger scale and more secure deals including large Governmental projects. We are aiming to leverage the current environment to maintain and build on our market leadership, as well as enhancing our long-term competitive positioning. We believe that we have now set up our business as a platform for future growth and increased profitability going forward, and we expect to record an operating income during 2009, at a level higher than that of 2008.”
