| NOTE 1: | – | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
| a. | B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. is an Israeli corporation together with its subsidiaries (hereinafter “the Company” or “BOS”): |
| These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. The statements also present the Company’s statements of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the statements of cash flow for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. The December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and statements of cash flow data were derived from the Company’s audited financial statements and does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These interim statements include all normal recurring adjustments, which the Company believes are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated. Because all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are not included, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K on March 30, 2005. The statements of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period, or for the entire year. |
| b. | Business combination: |
| In September, the Company closed a transaction to acquire 23.9% of the outstanding shares of Odem Electronics Technologies 1992 Ltd. (“Odem”), a subsidiary of the Company in which the Company held 63.8% prior to this transaction, from the minority shareholders. In consideration for Odem’s shares, the Company issued 232,603 of Ordinary shares of the Company and will pay in cash an amount of $ 716, thus increasing its holdings in Odem from 63.8% on December 31, 2004 to 87.7% on September 30, 2005. |
| The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the purchase price determined as follows: |
| Odem | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issuance of shares (1) | $ | 532 | ||||
| Payables | 770 | |||||
| Cancellation of Put and Call options | (104 | ) | ||||
| Total purchase price | $ | 1,198 | ||||
| (1) | The value of the Ordinary shares issued was determined based on the average market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares over the period including two days before and after the terms of the transaction were agreed to and announced. |
| The acquisitions have been treated using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS141 “Business Combinations”. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. |

| The consideration is as follows |
Odem |
Estimated useful life | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tangible assets | $ | 681 | |||||||
| Customer list (1) | 509 | 9 years | |||||||
| Deferred tax liability | (136 | ) | 9 years | ||||||
| Goodwill | 144 | ||||||||
| Total purchase price | $ | 1,198 | |||||||
| (1) | The Company’s allocation of purchase price valuated the acquired customer list by calculating the benefit from the protection against the loss in revenues and related cash flow as a direct result of the customer relationship. |
| c. | Disposal of product line |
| On July 18, 2005, BOSCom, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, signed an asset purchase agreement with Consist Technologies Ltd. and Consist International Inc. (collectively, “Consist”), for the sale of its PrintBOS product line in consideration of $ 500 and a contingent payment in each of the next three years equal to 6-10% of future revenues exceeding $1,000 per year, generated by Consist from the PrintBOS product line. The Company has accounted for a gain of $ 273 in the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has received $ 75 on account of the agreement, an amount of $300 has been received after the balance date and the remaining $ 125 have been placed in escrow, pending PrintBOS repayment of royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist (“OCS”). |

| NOTE 4: | – | LONG-TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTE |
| a. | On June 10, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Purchase Agreement”), with Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (“the Investor”), under which the Company issued to the Investor in a private placement (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note of a $ 2,000 principal amount, due June 10, 2007 (“the Note”). According to the agreement, several fees in the amount of $ 115 were paid to the Investor. Those fees are presented as a discount of the principal convertible loan. The Note is convertible into Ordinary shares at a price of $ 3.08 per share. The principal amount of the Note is repayable in monthly installments, commencing as of September 2004, in the initial amount of $ 20 eventually increasing to $ 74. The Note bears prime interest rate plus 3% which is subject to a reduction under certain conditions (ii) a warrant to purchase 130,000 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 4.04 per share (“the Warrant”). The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until June 10, 2011. Any delay in registration and/or effectiveness of the underlying shares of the transaction, or failure to maintain their effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages, equal to 2.0% for each 30 day period of the original principal amount of the note. |
| The note conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations, subdivisions of the Ordinary shares or if a dividend is paid on the Ordinary shares in Ordinary shares. In addition, if BOS issues stock in certain types of transactions at a price lower than the initial conversion price, then the conversion price will be adjusted to a lower price based on a weighted average formula. |
| The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black & Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 3.34%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares of 100% and a weighted-average contractual life of seven years. The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $ 99 is offset against the note, amortized over the period of the note and presented as a component in shareholders’ equity. |
| In March 2005, the Investor elected to convert $ 308 of the Convertible note principal into 100,000 Ordinary shares of the Company. In July 2005, the Investor completed the conversion of the balance of the Convertible note principal, which has not been converted or repaid and the accrued interest into an additional 540,293 Ordinary shares for approximately $ 1,580. |
| In September 2005, the Company entered into a Second Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, under which the Company issued to the Investor in a private placement (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note of a $ 1,500 principal amount, due September 2008 (“the Note”). According to the agreement, several fees in the amount of $ 116 were paid to the Investor. Those fees are presented as a discount of the principal convertible loan. The Note is convertible into Ordinary shares at a price of $ 3.08 per share. The principal amount of the Note is repayable in monthly installments, commencing as of January 2006, in the initial amount of $ 15 eventually increasing to $ 55. The Note bears prime interest rate plus 1.5% which is subject to reduction under certain conditions (ii) a warrant to purchase 73,052 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 4.04 per share (“the Warrant”). The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until September 29, 2012. Any delay in registration and/or effectiveness of the underlying shares of the transaction, or failure to maintain their effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages, equal to 1.0% for each 30 day period of the original principal amount of the note. |

| a. | In July 2002, the Company received a claim letter from Operate Lease Ltd. (“Operate Lease”) under which it claims that the Company’s termination notice of the leasing agreement in March 2002 constitutes a breach of the agreement and Operate Lease is demanding compensation in which the nominal claim amount is $ 292. No legal proceedings have been initiated. At this stage, according to the Company’s legal counsel’s assessment, the prospects of Operate Lease to prevail and recover a significant amount, seem remote. The financial statements do not include any provision in that regard. |
| b. | In September 2003, a supplier filed a legal claim in the amount of $107 against the Company. The claim alleges the breach of an agreement for the purchase of products. The Company’s legal counsel is unable to reasonably estimate the outcome of this claim. In addition, the Company’s management believes that the chances of the claim are remote. Accordingly, no provision has been included in the financial statements in respect of this claim. |
| c. | In 1998, as part of Pacinfo Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and Mr. Jacob Lee (the seller of Pacinfo who became a shareholder of the Company), certain actions involving Pacinfo, if occurred before the end of 2003, may trigger a tax event for Mr. Jacob Lee. The Company may be obligated, under certain assumptions and according to the purchase agreement, to grant Mr. Lee a loan on a full recourse basis for certain tax payments Mr. Lee may be liable for, and to reimburse Mr. Lee for certain interest on taxes that he may owe, estimated at approximately $ 1,500. The Company will receive a security interest in shares of the Company that Mr. Lee holds at the time of the loan with a fair market value as of the date of the loan of at least 125% of the amount of the loan as security for the repayment of the loan. |

| NOTE 7: | – | IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT IN AN AFFILIATED COMPANY(Cont.) |
| This private placement in Surf is considered an event of change in circumstances that has a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and therefore the Company has evaluated the Company’s investment in Surf and determined that the value of the investment in Surf amounts to $ 752 as of September 30, 2005 based on management’s analysis (supported by an outside valuation). As a result, the Company has accounted for an impairment of $ 1,355, which has been included in the equity in losses of an affiliated company in the statement of operations for the period ending September 30, 2005. |
| In addition, the Company’s voting rights in Surf has been diluted to 8.7% of the total voting rights in Surf, as a result of the private placement. As a result, the Company ceased to have the ability to exercise significant influence over Surf and, accordingly, the carrying amount of the investment of $ 752 is accounted for based on the cost accounting method. |

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.

(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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We finance our activities by different means, including equity financings, short and long-term loans, grants from the OCS and income from operating activities.
On June 10, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (the “Investor”), under which the Company issued and sold to the Investor in a private placement (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note of a $2 million principal amount, due June 10, 2007 (the “Note”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 130,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $4.04 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until June 10, 2011.
The Note was convertible into Ordinary Shares at a price of $3.08 per share. The note conversion price was subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations, subdivisions of the ordinary shares or if dividend is paid on the ordinary shares in ordinary shares. In addition, if the Company was to issue stock in certain types of transactions at a price lower than the initial conversion price, then the conversion price would be adjusted to a lower price based on a weighted average formula. As a result of the price per share in the June 2005 private placement offering described below, the conversion price of the convertible note was reduced to $2.9042.
The principal amount of the Note was
repayable in monthly installments, commencing as of October 1, 2004, in the initial amount
of $20,000 eventually increasing to $73,600. Interest on the Note was payable monthly.
Pursuant to its undertaking in the Registration Rights agreement with the Investor, the
Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form
F-3 covering the resale of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and/or
exercise of the Warrants, and/or issuable in payment of principal and interest on the
Note. The Registration Rights agreement provided that any delay in registration and/or
effectiveness of the underlying shares of the transaction, or failure to maintain their
effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages. The
registration statement was declared effective on March 11, 2005. Due to the delay in the
effectiveness of the registration of the shares, we paid the Investor liquidated damages
until March 11, 2005, in the amount of $92,000.
On March 23, 2005, after the Investor elected to convert $308,000 of the principal sum of the convertible note, the Investor was issued 100,000 ordinary shares of the Company. In July 2005, the Investor completed the conversion of the balance of the Convertible note principal and the accrued interest (approximately $1,580,000) into an additional 540,293 ordinary shares.
In September 2005, the Company entered into a Second Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, under which the Company issued to the Investor in a private placement (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note of a $ 1,500,000 principal amount, due September 2008 (“the Note”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 73,052 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 4.04 per share (“the Warrant”). According to the Purchase Agreement, several fees in the amount of $ 116,000 were paid to the Investor. Those fees are presented as a discount of the principal convertible loan. The Note is convertible into Ordinary shares at a price of $ 3.08 per share. The principal amount of the Note is repayable in monthly installments, commencing as of January 2006, in the initial amount of $ 15,000 eventually increasing to $ 55,000. The Note bears prime interest rate plus 1.5%, which is subject to reduction under certain conditions. The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until September 29, 2012.
Pursuant to its undertaking in a Registration Rights agreement with the Investor, the Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission by a certain date a registration statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrants, and/or issuable in payment of principal and interest on the Note. Any delay in registration and/or effectiveness of such registration statement, or failure to maintain its effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages, equal to 1.0% for each 30 day period of the original principal amount of the Note.
The Note conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations, subdivisions of the Ordinary shares or if dividend is paid on the Ordinary shares in Ordinary shares. In addition, if BOS issues stock in certain types of transactions at a price lower than the initial conversion price, then the conversion price will be adjusted to a lower price based on a weighted average formula.
The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black & Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.08%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares of 100% and a weighted-average contractual life of seven years. The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $ 144,000 is offset against the Note, amortized over the period of the Note and presented as a component in shareholders’ equity.
In June 2005, the Company completed a private placement in which it issued to investors 953,698 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $ 2.30 per share, for a consideration of approximately $ 2,045 (net of $ 149 in issuance expenses) and 572,219 warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, reflecting a 60% warrant coverage. The warrants are exercisable for three years from their date of issuance. The exercise price is $2.50 per ordinary share during for the first year from the issue date, and increasing to $2.75 per ordinary share and $3.03 per ordinary share, on the first and second anniversaries of the issue date, respectively. The warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
As of September 30, 2005, we had $4,464,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $2,146,000 in marketable securities, $3,926,000 short and long-term loans and positive working capital of $6,797,000.
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations for the nine months ended September 2005 was $3,275,000 compared to $688,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we provided $597,000 from investing activities compared to $164,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The cash provided in investing activities in both periods is mainly due to redemption of marketable securities.
The Company’s long and short term loans as of September 30, 2005, amounted to $3,926,000, of which $2,686,000 is loans from Israeli banks and the convertible note issued to the Investor accounts for the remainder.
Working capital and working capital requirements will vary from time-to-time and will depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to operating results, the level of resources devoted to research and development, new product introductions, grants from the OCS and marketing and acquisition activities.
We have in-balance sheet financial instruments and off-balance sheet contingent commitments. Our in-balance sheet financial instruments consist of our assets and liabilities. Our cash is invested in short-term (less than 3 months) U.S. dollars and NIS interest bearing deposits with banks. Our receivables’ aging is between 40 to 90 days and our current liabilities’ aging is between 40 to 60 days. The fair value of our financial instruments is similar to their book value. Our off-balance sheet contingent commitments consist of: (a) royalty commitments that are directly related to our future revenues, (b) lease commitments of our premises and vehicles, (c) directors and officers’ indemnities, in excess of the proceeds received from liability insurance which we obtain and (d) legal proceedings.
We believe that our cash resources are sufficient to meet our needs for at least 12 months following the date of this submission. However, it is our intention to engage in equity and loan financing to further feature-rich products of the Company, establish distribution channels in new markets and search for new merger and acquisition opportunities. There is, however, no assurance that we shall be able to obtain such financing.
