Nothing in this form shall be construed to imply that the Commission has verified any information contained herein.
If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:
PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION
BackWeb Technologies Ltd.

10 Ha’amal Street, Park Afek
 
Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)
Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel 48092
 
City, State and Zip Code
PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
           
þ
    (a)   The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
       
    (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
       
      (c)   The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
     The Registrant was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (the “Form 10-Q”) by its due date because:
     1. The Registrant recently announced that its Chief Financial Officer, Ken Holmes, has resigned his employment with the Registrant, effective upon the completion and filing of the Form 10-Q. In connection with the transition of the duties of Mr. Holmes to a consultant who will serve as the Registrant’s interim head of finance until a long-term replacement can be hired, the Registrant experienced delays in completing the underlying work necessary to file the Form 10-Q in a timely manner.
     2. The Registrant adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”) effective January 1, 2007, and upon its adoption of FIN No. 48, the Company applied the provisions of FIN No. 48 to all of its income tax positions. However, the Registrant adoption of FIN No. 48 and the application of the provisions of FIN No. 48 to the Registrant’s income tax positions was more time-consuming than initially anticipated, especially in light of the resignation of Mr. Holmes and the transition of his duties as described above.

     The Registrant anticipates reporting in the Form 10-Q the following changes in its results of operations for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006:
     The Registrant’s total revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $1.2 million compared to approximately $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2006. The Registrant’s license revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $468,000 compared to approximately $791,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The decreases in both total revenue and license revenue was primarily due to the fact that the Registrant recognized $250,000 in revenue during the first quarter of 2006 from a license agreement with F-Secure Corporation that it entered into in the fourth quarter of 2004, but did not recognize any revenue from this agreement during the first quarter of 2007. The Registrant’s service revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $705,000 compared to approximately $865,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in professional services fees was primarily related to a decrease in the number of personnel delivering these services, as well as due to the Registrant’s planned migration of its service work to strategic resellers. This decrease was partially offset by a slight increase in maintenance services fees.
     The Registrant’s cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $210,000 compared to approximately $261,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The Registrant’s cost of service revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $179,000 compared to approximately $240,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The decreases in both cost of revenue and cost of service revenue was primarily due to a reduction in the number of the Registrant’s professional services employees as a result of the expense reduction measures it has implemented. The Registrant’s cost of license revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $31,000 compared to approximately $21,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in cost of license revenue was primarily due to costs related to a strategic reseller relationship for which the Registrant has not yet begun to recognize revenue but for which it is incurring costs.
     The Registrant’s research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were $473,000 compared to approximately $582,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to the effect of expense reductions implemented in previous periods as well as a $90,000 reduction in stock-based compensation related expenses incurred in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. The Registrant’s sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were $617,000 compared to approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a decrease in personnel related costs as a result of the Registrant having one less vice president and five fewer field level staff in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006. Additionally in the first quarter of 2006, the Registrant recognized approximately $100,000 of one-time separation costs related to the termination of certain employees; it did not have similar costs for the first quarter of 2007. The Registrant’s general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were $377,000 compared to approximately $605,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the reclassification of the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer into the sales and marketing department following the termination of its Vice President of Sales and Business Development, as well as reductions in personnel and related expenses.
     The Registrant’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the Registrant’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 are presented below:
