ITEM 1

STARLIMS Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Hollywood, Florida, November 13, 2007 – STARLIMS Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:LIMS), a leading provider of laboratory information management systems (LIMS), today announced that revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $6.2 million, a 46.3% increase over revenues of $4.2 million reported for the same period in 2006. Product revenues for the period were $3.6 million, up 73.0% from $2.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2006. Services revenues for the period were $2.5 million, up 19.7% from $2.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2006.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2007 were $17.1 million, up 34.2% from $12.7 million for the first nine months of 2006. Product revenues for the first nine months of 2007 were $9.9 million, a 43.7% increase over the comparable period in 2006. Services revenues for the first nine months of 2007 were $7.2 million, up 23.2% from $5.9 million for the first nine months of 2006.

STARLIMS’s business model is characterized by relatively large transactions, with a year-to-date average selling price on direct sales of approximately $600,000. Our management believes that a comparison of STARLIMS’s results in a longer term perspective provides better insight into the underlying growth of our business.

“Our growth, driven by our STARLIMS V10, continues to outpace the overall growth of the LIMS market. STARLIMS V10 is the only web-based LIMS product designed to consolidate disparate business processes into one platform and allow for data sharing within the laboratory and across the enterprise,” said Itschak Friedman, CEO of STARLIMS. “The capabilities of our STARLIMS V10 platform also allow us to expand our market opportunities by entering adjacent markets such as the clinical laboratory information systems or LIS market.”

For the third quarter, GAAP operating income was $1.2 million or 20.0% of revenues compared to $580,000 or 13.8% of revenues for the same period in 2006. GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2007 was $3.2 million or 19.0% of revenues, compared to $2.2 million or 17.0% of revenues for the first nine months of 2006. GAAP net income for the third quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $508,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006. GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2007 was $3.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $1.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2006.



Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter was $1.3 million or 20.5% of revenues, compared to $638,000 or 15.2% for the same period in 2006. Non-GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2007 was $3.6 million or 20.9% of revenues, compared to $2.3 million or 18.1% of revenues for the first nine months of 2006. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $539,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2007 was $3.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2006.

The attached tables include a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP income from operations and net income for the third quarter of 2007 and 2006.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities amounted to $33.9 million on September 30, 2007, compared to $6.5 million on December 31, 2006. The increase in cash was primarily due to our initial public offering in the United States on May 23, 2007.

Guidance

STARLIMS is reiterating the financial guidance for fiscal year 2007 provided in August 2007. Our management expects total year-over-year revenue growth in the range of 20% to 25% and GAAP EPS of $0.63 to $0.68, which includes approximately $0.05 of stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and non-recurring offering related expenses. The guidance assumes an annual tax rate of approximately 15% and estimated weighted average shares outstanding of 7.9 million during 2007.

Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, STARLIMS uses non-GAAP measures of gross margin, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non recurring expenses, non-cash equity based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R) and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions. Our management believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing the Company’s on-going core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliation between GAAP to non-GAAP statement of income is provided in the table below.
