Exhibit 1


MIND's Board of Directors Approves Plan to Repurchase Up to $2.8 Million of Outstanding Ordinary Shares

 

Yoqneam, Israel, September 8, 2008 - MIND CTI Ltd. (NasdaqGM:MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers as well as telecom expense management (call accounting) solutions for the enterprise market, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a plan for the repurchase of up to 2.1 million of the Company's ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $2.8 million.

 

Monica Eisinger, Chairperson and CEO, commented: "We believe that in light of current share prices, the history of positive cash flow from operations and the Company's resources, the purchase of the Company's shares is a good investment and is in the best interests of the Company and we can do this without sacrificing expansion, capital investment or growth plans. We believe that at this time the repurchase of our stock at these prices will deliver value to our shareholders and is one of the most appropriate uses of our resources."

 

Under the repurchase program, share purchases may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase may be suspended from time to time or discontinued.

 

MIND reported cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million as of June 30, 2008.

 

Under the Israeli law, the repurchase program is considered a distribution that requires prior court approval, which the Company will seek as soon as possible. The Company expects to obtain such court approval within eight to twelve weeks, although there is no guarantee that such approval will not be delayed or denied.
