OPTIBASE LTD. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
 
HERZLIYA, Israel, August 22, 2014 – Optibase Ltd. (NASDAQ: OBAS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Revenues from fixed income real estate totaled $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to revenues of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2013.

Net Income attributable to Optibase Ltd shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $159,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $619,000 or $0.16 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income was $373,000 or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $898,000 or $0.23 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation for the periods were approximately 5.1 million basic and diluted shares and 3.8 million basic and diluted shares, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and other financial investments, net, of $20.8 million, and shareholders' equity of $80.3 million, compared with $17.6 million, and $67.4 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2013.
 
Amir Philips, Chief Executive Officer of Optibase commented on the second quarter results; "While our gross income remained stable with a slight growth over recent quarters, we have experienced a slight increase in operating expenses attributed mainly to depreciation and maintenance expenses in our various properties. At the same time, we have experienced an increase in our general and administrative expenses which mainly are considered as non-recurring expenses. Given the aforementioned, our net income has decreased compared to the previous quarter, as well as the second quarter of 2013". Amir concluded "We continue to look for attractive real estate investment opportunities in what is proving to be an increasing challenging business environment”.
