      B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. Reports Results for the Second Quarter of 2005
      Tuesday August 23, 7:00 am ET
      Revenues increased 424%


      TERADYON, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2005--B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (the "Company" or "BOS") (Nasdaq:BOSC - News; TASE:BOSC) reported today its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
      Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were $7.3M, an increase of 424% as compared to $1.4M for the second quarter of 2004. Our revenues increased mainly due to the consolidation of Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd. ("Odem") (related to the Electronic Component operating segment), acquired in November 2004, and Quasar Telecom (2004) Ltd. (related to the Communication operating segment), which began operating during late September 2004.

      Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2005 was $940,000 (or -$0.19 per share) compared to a loss of $447,000 (or -$0.11 per share), for the second quarter of 2004.

      Operating loss for the second quarter of 2005 was $431,000, compared to operating loss of $380,000 for the second quarter of 2004.

      Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 increased 194% to $2M, compared to $680,000 for the second quarter of 2004.

      In the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded income from grants from the Office of the Israeli Chief Scientist in the amount of $133,000. During the second quarter of 2005, the Office of the Israeli Chief Scientist confirmed its participation in the financing of the Company`s annual development program of the Communication segment, in the total amount of $350,000.

      Financial expenses for the second quarter of 2005 were $161,000, compared to financial expenses of $7,000, for the second quarter of 2004. Financial expenses for the second quarter of 2005 include interest expenses in the amount of $119,000 related to the convertible note, which was issued to Laurus Master Fund in June 2004. In July 2005, Laurus has given notice of conversion of approximately $1.58M of the note principle amount and accrued interest into 540,293 ordinary shares of the Company. Thus, the balance of the note was converted.

      Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 amounted to $14.6M, an increase of 464% as compared to $2.6M for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Loss from continuing operations for such period amounted to $1.9M (or -$0.39 per share) compared to net loss of $1M (or -$0.28 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

      As of June 30, 2005, the Company`s balance sheet shows financial resources (cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities) of $6.4M and loans (long and short term) of $4.7M. On June 30, 2005 the Company completed a private placement in the total amount of $2.2 million. $1.45M were received by the Company before June 30, 2005, and an additional $750,000 were received during July 2005.

      On July 18, 2005, BOScom, Ltd., the Company`s wholly-owned subsidiary, signed an asset purchase agreement with Consist Technologies Ltd. and Consist International Inc. (collectively, "Consist"), for the sale of its PrintBOS activities in consideration of $500,000 plus a contingent payment in each of the next three years equal to 6-10% of the future revenues exceeding $1M per year, that Consist generates from the PrintBOS activities. The closing of the transaction is subject to approval of the Office of the Israeli Chief Scientist. This agreement is a step in the implementation of BOS` strategy to sell non-core businesses in order to enhance its profitable activities.

      Adiv Baruch, BOS` CEO stated: "BOS`s results and activities are improving and we expect a further improvement in the upcoming quarters. We are pleased with Odem`s results and improved margins -- that exceeded our expectations. We consider the conversion of debt into shares, affected by Laurus in July 2005, an act of support and confidence in BOS` future."

      Edouard Cukierman, Chairman of BOS commented: "BOS is taking some strategic steps in order to enhance its activities and financial results. We are in the process of selling non-core activities and continue to focus our attention on growing promising divisions. We have full confidence these steps will yield to the benefit of all share holders."

      B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. Reports Results for the Third Quarter of 2005
      Tuesday November 29, 2:39 am ET


      TERADYON, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2005--B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (the "Company" or "BOS") (NASDAQ: BOSC - News); (TASE: BOSC) reported today its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      Highlights for the 3rd quarter:

      Revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were $6.2M, an increase of 326% as compared to $1.5M for the third quarter of 2004. Our revenues increased mainly due to the consolidation of Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd. ("Odem") (related to the Electronic Component operating segment), acquired in November 2004, and Quasar Telecom (2004) Ltd. (related to the Communications operating segment), which began operating on October 1, 2004.

      Gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 increased 137% to $1.8M, compared to $766,000 for the third quarter of 2004.

      Operating loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $356,000, compared to an operating loss of $431,000 for the second quarter of 2005, and an operating loss of $326,000 for the third quarter of 2004.

      Loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2005, including an equity loss of $1.5M (mainly related to the impairment of an investment in Surf Communication Solutions Ltd. ("Surf"), an affiliated company(, and other income in the amount of $273,000 (related to the Company`s sale of its PrintBOS activities), was $1.7M (or -$0.28 per share) compared to a loss of $466,000 (or -$0.11 per share), for the third quarter of 2004.

      Highlights for the 9 months:

      Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, amounted to $20.8 M, an increase of 414% as compared to $4M for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Loss from continuing operations for such period amounted to $3.6M (or -$0.69 per share) compared to a net loss of $1.4M (or -$0.34 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, includes equity losses in the amount of $1.5M (mainly related to the impairment of an investment in Surf(, and other income in the amount of $273,000 (related to the Company`s sale of its PrintBOS activities).

      As of September 30, 2005, the Company`s balance sheet shows financial resources (cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities) of $6.6M and loans (long and short term) of $3.9M.

      In September 2005, BOS acquired an additional 23.9% of the outstanding shares of Odem, a subsidiary of the Company, from a minority shareholder, thus increasing its holdings in Odem from 63.6% in December 31, 2004, to 87.7% in September 30, 2005. In consideration for Odem`s shares, the Company issued 232,603 Ordinary Shares and made a cash payment in the amount of $716,000. On November 1, 2005, BOS announced its acquisition of the remaining shares of Odem in consideration for a cash payment in the amount of $554,105 and Odem became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

      On October 27, 2005, BOS entered into a definitive agreement with Qualmax Inc., a US VoIP service and equipment provider, for the sale of the assets of its Communications Division to Qualmax. The consideration payable to BOS is approximately 4,150,000 Qualmax shares and 4% royalties from future revenues Qualmax generates from the sold business, up to $800,000. One quarter of the Qualmax shares to be received by BOS in the transaction, shall be deposited in escrow and shall be released to BOS at the end of four consecutive fiscal quarters following the closing of the transaction, contingent upon Qualmax generating by then certain revenues from the sold business. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including Qualmax completing a merger into a US publicly traded company.

      Adiv Baruch, BOS` CEO stated: "We are continuing to implement our strategy as was defined in 2004. We have increased our holdings in Odem and turned it into our wholly owned subsidiary, while in parallel, we are spinning off and realizing non-core activities."

      Edouard Cukierman, Chairman of BOS commented: "Since it was acquired, Odem has become one of the main growth engines of the Company, reflecting the increased demand for RFID products."

      BOS Closes Qualmax Transaction
      Saturday December 31, 3:23 pm ET


      TERADYON, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 31, 2005--B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. ("BOS" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:BOSC - News; TASE:BOSC), announced today that it has closed the transaction for the sale of its Communications Division to Qualmax Ltd., an Israeli wholly owned subsidiary of Qualmax Inc. (Pink Sheets:QMXI.PK - News), a US VoIP service and equipment provider ("Qualmax"). Qualmax recently announced that it has completed a merger with Bench Group Inc., a US publicly traded company ("Bench"). Following the merger, Bench changed its name to Qualmax, Inc.

      The consideration paid to BOS in the transaction is approximately 3.2 million Qualmax shares of Common Stock and 4% royalties from future revenues Qualmax generates from the sold business, up to $800,000. Additional shares may be issued to BOS at the end of four consecutive fiscal quarters following the closing of the transaction, contingent upon Qualmax generating by then certain revenues from the sold business. The maximum number of shares that may further be issued to BOS is approximately one million shares.

      In addition, BOS and Qualmax Ltd. entered into an Outsourcing Agreement, pursuant to which BOS will provide Qualmax Ltd. with certain operating services relating to the sold Communications Division. The first three months of services will be provided for no charge and Qualmax Ltd. shall pay for these services starting from the fourth month. Qualmax Ltd. can elect to pay for the services rendered during months four to six by issuance to BOS of Qualmax shares valued at $1.43 per share. BOS undertook to provide these services for at least 12 months from closing.

      Qualmax also issued to BOS a five-year warrant for the purchase of up to 107,143 shares of its Common Stock at the exercise price of $2.80 per share. BOS received certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares underlying the warrant.

      BOS has also signed a bridge loan agreement with Qualmax Ltd. in the amount of $1 million. The proceeds of the loan shall be used exclusively for the financing and the operation of the Communications Division assets acquired by Qualmax from the Company.

      The term of the loan is three years and it bears interest equal to the Prime rate plus 2.5%, up to a maximum of 12%. In the first 18 months, Qualmax Ltd. shall pay only the interest accrued on the loan and monthly principal and interest payments shall commence thereafter. As a security for the loan, Qualmax Ltd. has granted BOS a second degree-subordinated floating charge on its assets.

      The loan agreement provides that if the sold business generates in the first quarter of 2006 losses that exceed $250,000, the principal amount to be repaid under the loan shall be reduced by the excess losses. In such event, Qualmax shall issue to BOS additional shares of Common Stock against such reduction, valued at $1.43 per share. In addition, the loan shall be immediately repaid in the event Qualmax raises by way of equity financing (or a series of equity financings) an aggregate amount equal to at least $4.5 million.

      Mr. Adiv Baruch, CEO of BOS, commented: "We are pleased that we have been able to close the transaction with Qualmax, enabling the communication team to move ahead in the new structured organization to further grow and develop the business. We have structured the transaction so that we receive our sale price in Qualmax shares primarily because we believe in Qualmax`s potential, which we expect will be greatly enhanced by integrating the BOS Communications Division. Obtaining shares in Qualmax just as it begins to operate in the US public markets gives BOS the chance to realize long-term additional value from the sale."

      Mr. Edouard Cukierman Chairman of the Board added: "We are very pleased by the accomplishment of the closing of the transaction with Qualmax according to our set schedule. We expect BOS to continue to further grow through its profitable Odem subsidiary and BOScom`s connectivity division, while enabling management to focus on accelerating the M&A activities in the year 2006."

      A hi-tech approach to tracking trash
      By AVI KRAWITZ

      When Odem Electronics Technologies was presented with an opportunity to enter the world of garbage disposal, the one thing it did not waste was time.

      Within two months of a request from German waste management giant Otto Group BV, which was looking for ways to make its operations more efficient, the Tel Aviv-based subsidiary of B.O.S. (Better Online Solutions Ltd.) produced the goods.

      Odem signed an agreement with Otto to include its product, which uses RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, to provide in-depth information for refuse disposers - a relatively unexplored concept.

      "There are similar technologies that have been in Europe but they have been doing the same thing for seven or eight years," Luc Muller, general manager of Otto, says in an interview with The Jerusalem Post. "The US and Asian markets are near virgin ground for applying RFID to garbage disposal operations and I need a more flexible system to take it there."

      Muller, a major shareholder in Otto, has been investing in Israel for over 15 years, and he hopes his latest find in Odem will combine the Israeli flare for providing quick technological solutions with Otto`s experience in marketing, to capture a major share of the US market while still in its infancy.

      "The speed of Israel is fabulous, but it`s not strong in marketing," says Muller. "It took less than two months for Odem to find a more modern way of doing what we wanted, which is unheard of in Europe."

      Tracking opportunity

      What privately owned Otto, with over 65 years experience in the garbage disposal industry, wanted was a better way to track the garbage it was hauling. Using RFID in refuse, a municipality or waste disposal contractor has the ability to recognize the garbage container, weigh it, know how much garbage has been lifted in each truck and bill according to the quantities provided. RFID is a wireless data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data and identifying items. These tags are read when located within the proximity of a transmitted radio signal. Under their agreement, Odem and Otto have formed a partnership that will launch Odem`s product in the first quarter of 2006. The project follows Odem`s success from providing the security tagging for the Maccabiah Games in the summer of 2005.

      "The Maccabiah was an important event for us in 2005, for our RFID business, and we are now looking to expand that success to applications in other industries," says Avidan Zelikovsky, CEO of Odem. "Our agreement with Otto promises to do the same for us in 2006 and already we`ve had interest from various municipalities and contractors in the US."

      In addition to sports events and now waste management, Zelikovsky says the company is working on ways to apply the technology to the transportation, diamond and jewelry, health care, and electric industries. Though each application, he says, requires a different technology.

      Should it find the success it hopes for with these projects, Odem believes it will be able to build upon the trend that has seen the company double its revenues over the past two years to $20m. in 2005.

      B.O.S.`s bet

      "Odem is an illustration of how we intend to grow BOS in the future," says BOS Chairman Edouard Cukierman, who is also the CEO of Catalyst Investment, a venture capital fund that is a major investor in BOS.

      BOS bought a 64 percent stake in Odem for just over $2m. in November 2004, increased its stake to 88% in September 2005 and then took full control of the company two months later.

      With the acquisition, BOS now has two core businesses - Odem and its connectivity division, which includes the BOSaNOVA family of products.

      The connectivity division provides emulation solutions for the IBM series (iSeries) servers. BOS empowers the iSeries servers using BOSaNOVA connecting external users to a server through the Web.

      BOS is relying on the two businesses to provide a sorely needed turnaround for the company.

      After reaching a peak market capitalization of around $200m. in March 2000, BOS, which is dual-traded on the NASDAQ and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, was hit when the hi-tech bubble burst. It had slumped to a valuation of $7m. by May 2003 when the Catalyst fund took control. BOS has since bounced off that low, having recently traded at a market capitalization of $15.55m., but still has a long way to go.

      When Catalyst took over, BOS had an accumulated net loss of $30m. and has continued on the losing streak ever since. It had a net loss of $2.05m. in 2004 and a loss of $3.6m. for the first nine months of 2005, despite quadrupling its revenue to $20.8m. for the latter period.

      Cukierman attributes the poor performance to BOS`s communications division, which focuses on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and "has been losing a lot of money."

      Rapid realignment

      Given the losses, the company has seen its stock moved from the Nasdaq National Market to a less prestigious and more speculative over-the-counter small cap listing.

      To regain its stature and cut its losses, BOS has embarked on a selling spree of the non-core businesses that have been a drag on the company.

      "The main focus for Catalyst now is to turn BOS around and bring it to a critical size. So we`ve added a lot of activity around BOS to make it a profitable business," says Cukierman.

      To that effect, BOS this week sold its communications division to US VoIP service and equipment provider Qualmax in exchange for 3.2 million Qualmax shares and 4% of royalties (up to $800,000) from future revenue Qualmax generates from the sold business.

      In July, BOS sold its software utilities company, PrintBos, to Consist Technologies Ltd. and Consist International Inc. for $500,000 plus additional payments of up to $1m. per year for the next three years dependant upon PrintBOS revenues.

      Now, Cukierman says BOS is ready to continue on the acquisition trail in search of complementary businesses to work with Odem and the connectivity unit.

      Nevertheless, it`s Odem and its involvement in RFID that BOS believes will most likely drive the company forward - the partnership with Otto being the litmus test.

      "Odem is a local pilot that we hope to turn into an international project through our European partners," says Cukierman. "That way we get to a critical size suitable for a NASDAQ-traded company."
