Exhibit 1

MIND CTI Announces Q4 2007 Preliminary Unaudited Operating Results

Discusses Auction Preferred Investments

Board Declares Cash Dividend

Yoqneam, Israel, February 27, 2008 - MIND C.T.I. LTD. (NasdaqGM:MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end billing and customer care product based solutions for tier 2 and tier 3 carriers worldwide, today announced preliminary unaudited operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

Operating Highlights of Q4 2007

Year 2007 Operating Highlights

Revenue Distribution for Q4 2007
Sales in the Americas represented 36% and sales in Europe represented 52% of total revenue. Revenue from our customer care and billing software totaled $4.7 million, while revenue from our enterprise call management software was $852 thousand. The revenue breakdown from our business lines of products was $1.6 million, or 28% from licenses and $4.0 million, or 72% from maintenance and additional services.

Revenue Distribution for Full Year 2007
Sales in the Americas represented 42% and sales in Europe represented 43% of total revenue. Revenue from our customer care and billing software totaled $15.4 million, while revenue from our enterprise call management software was $3 million. The revenue breakdown from our business lines of products was $5.9 million, or 32% from licenses and $12.5 million, or 68% from maintenance and additional services.

Two New Wins
MIND has been selected by a wireless communications service provider in the US to support its unique model for mobile solutions thanks to its product flexibility and openness in managing innovative needs. This is a five-year agreement for managed services (extended maintenance and enhanced support services that include performing day-to-day operational billing tasks).

The MIND solution that will be deployed includes consolidated billing, customer care, order management, inventory, provisioning and mediation.

The second win is with a provider of both wireless and wireline services in the US. As a first phase MIND was chosen to perform billing and customer care for the new offering of the wireless services. This new win is for the fix line operation, where the consolidated MIND billing, customer care, order management and inventory platform will be deployed to replace legacy systems for voice, data and corporate services. The MIND platform, once fully rolled out, should provide a unified view of all customers and services across all offerings.

Monica Eisinger, Chairperson and CEO, commented: "We are pleased to announce these two new important wins. These wins reflect our strengthening presence in the US market, both in the mobile and the wireline industry. We believe that our innovative solutions and reputation of on-time successful implementations will help us win additional contracts in the near future."

Auction Rate Investments
As has been widely described in the world financial press, recent uncertainties in the credit markets have adversely affected the liquidity of auction rate securities as potential buyers have been unwilling to purchase these securities, many of which are guaranteed by insurers adversely affected by the existing conditions in the mortgage securities market. While the liquidity of these investments has been significantly impacted by these conditions, we continue to receive interest payments every 28 days. We are not able to predict whether conditions in the market for these securities will worsen or improve. As of December 31, 2007, we have a total of $20.3 million invested in asset backed auction rate securities and $12.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. As a result of the conditions summarized above, we have been unable to obtain third-party valuations for these securities in a cost-effective and timely manner. The complexity of the valuation is derived by the fact that this security is collateralized by 126 structured finance transactions. We plan to complete an independent valuation in the second quarter, prior to the publication of our audited financial statements. Such valuation may require a charge to earnings for Q4 2007 and 2007 to reflect a material impairment of our long-term investments. However, we believe we have sufficient cash resources to withstand the likely effects of the illiquidity of our auction rate securities on our operations.

On February 20, 2008, we filed a Statement of Claim with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and commenced an arbitration against the international bank and certain employees thereof that invested these funds on behalf of the Company. The claim alleges, among other things, that the bank was supposed to invest the funds in highly liquid, highly safe, 28-day auction-rate securities, but -- without the Company's authorization -- invested the funds in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). In particular, the claim alleges that the bank invested the funds in a security called "Mantoloking CDO" without telling the Company that this was a CDO investment until after the purchase had already occurred. The claim also describes how, after the fact, the bank advised that the security, which has a stated maturity date in the year 2046, had been rolled "due to failed auction."

The Company's claim includes causes of action for fraud, violation of various NASD rules (including the NASD's suitability rule), violation of Section 10(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, misappropriation and breach of contract. The claim seeks, among other things, damages and other relief from all of the respondents, including return of all the funds plus compensatory and punitive damages. We intend to pursue the arbitration vigorously. The arbitration, however, has just begun and no predictions of possible outcomes can be made at this time.

Dividend Distribution
On November 5, 2007 the Board of Directors resolved that the Company should seek the court approval formally required in order to enable a distribution in an amount similar to previous years. Under Israeli law, a company with insufficient retained earnings is required to obtain approval from the court for such a distribution in order to ensure that the Company's creditors are not harmed by the action. Following the receipt of approval from the District Court of Haifa, on February 26, 2008 the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share before withholding tax. According to the pre-ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority, tax will be withheld at a rate of 20%. This pre-ruling applies only to this particular dividend and not to future dividends, if any.

The record date for the dividend will be March 18, 2008 and the payment date will be April 2, 2008.

Appointment of New CFO
MIND also announced today the appointment of Rafi Wiesler, 56, as the Company's new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Mr. Wiesler replaces Oren Bryan who served at MIND since 2005 and as CFO since mid 2006 and who now intends to pursue other business opportunities. Rafi held a number of key positions, including CFO of VocalTec Ltd. (NASDAQ:VOCL), which specializes in VoIP, CFO of Tdsoft Communications Ltd., and VP Finance and Procurement at Lebanon Steel Corp, a U.S. company headquartered in Pennsylvania. He currently serves as a Director of a company owned by Bank "Otzar HaChayal". Rafi holds a B.A. degree in Economics and Psychology from Haifa University and an M.B.A. degree from Tel Aviv University.

Monica Eisinger commented on the appointment: "We thank Oren for his contribution and we welcome Rafi, a veteran and accomplished executive, to our management team and we believe that his financial experience will benefit the company."
