RISHON LEZION, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (“BOS” or the
“Company”) (NASDAQ: BOSC ;TASE:BOSC), a leading provider of comprehensive Mobile and RFID
Solutions and Supply Chain Solutions, today reported its results for the second quarter and first six
months ended June 30th, 2008.
Financial Highlights for the second quarter and first six months of 2008 (NON-GAAP Pro-forma):
• Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 142% to $13.8 million compared
to the same period in 2007;
• EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 50% to $248,000 compared to the
same period in 2007;
• Revenue for the first six months was $28 million vs. $11 million in first half of 2007; EPS was
$0.04 vs. loss of $0.02 in prior year
• Backlog increased to $13.3 million on June 30th, 2008 from $7.8 million on June 30, 2007.
“The Company continues to experience strong momentum, demonstrated by our significant growth in
top-line and bottom-line results,” said Shmuel Koren, BOS’ President & CEO. “With our established
customer base and higher profit margins generated by our recent acquisitions, we anticipate a
continuing trend of significant revenue growth throughout the remainder of 2008.”
BOS operates in two business segments, Mobile and RFID Solutions and Supply Chain Solutions.
Combined, they have generated $13.8 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2008 compared to
$5.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Revenue for the first six months of 2008 was $28 million
compared with $11 million in the first half of 2007. Total revenue is projected to exceed $55 million in 2008.
BOS is located in Israel and the US and employs approximately 150 employees worldwide. The
Company also owns and operates two distribution channels in Israel and the United States which
mainly provide supply chain solutions for the aerospace industry. International sales accounted for
42% of revenue in second quarter 2008 compared to 33% in the second quarter 2007. For the second
quarter of 2008, international sales amounted to $5.8 million, a 204% increase compared with the year
ago period due to the acquisition of Summit and internal growth. Backlog increased to $13.3 million
as of June 30th, 2008 from $7.8 million as of June 30th, 2007.
For the second quarter and first six months of 2008, BOS generated record EBITDA of $248,000 and
$576,000 compared to $165,000 and $212,000 in the comparable period of 2007. The devaluation of the
US dollar against the NIS (Israeli New Shekel) in the second quarter of 2008 and in the six months 2 ended June 30,
2008 adversely affected our operating results. The Company expects to generate annua lEBITDA in 2008 of approximately $2 million.
As of June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents were $1.9 million, short term bank loans amounted to
$6.3 million and long term bank loans were $2.8 million. In July we announced the raising of $1 million through equity.
Shmuel Koren BOS’ President & CEO said, “The good results we saw this quarter reflect BOS’
increased ability to provide our customers with fully integrated and comprehensive solutions. Our
recent acquisitions have provided the Company with a unified platform which businesses need in
order to be effective. We are pleased to be taking advantage of technology advances and offering
these services on a global basis.”
In May 2008 the Company finalized a Frame Agreement with potential for orders of up to $ 25 million
with a Strategic Customer of our Supply Chain division in the Aircraft Industry. BOS has already
begun to receive orders under the terms of this Frame Agreement.
Edouard Cukierman BOS’ Chairman of the Board added: “These improved financial results indicate a positive outlook
for BOS in 2008. We are focused on continuing to grow on a global basis.”

million respectively, a 142% and 134% increase over revenues in the comparable periods in 2007. This
increase in revenues in the second quarter of 2008 resulted from the acquisition of Summit in
November 2007 and Dimex Systems in March 2008, as well as from organic growth.

million respectively, a 140% and 138% increase over the comparable 2007 period. Gross margin in the
