  Sales to North and South America accounted for 14% of revenues.
  Operating loss for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 amounted to $578,000 and $776,000 respectively, compared to operating income of $181,000 and $451,000 in the comparable periods in 2008.

Review of results on a GAAP basis:

Revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 amounted to $8.0 million and $17.1 million respectively, compared to $13.8 million and $25.9 million respectively, in the comparable periods in 2008.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues improved to 23% and 24% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 respectively, compared to 22% in the comparable periods in 2008.

Operating loss for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 amounted to $2.1 million and $2.4 million respectively, as compared to an operating loss of $78,000 and $170,000 respectively, in the comparable periods in 2008.



Operating loss for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 include impairment of goodwill in the amount of $1.2 million, resulting from the overall global economic conditions and its impact on our business operations.

Other expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 amounted to $52,000 and $219,000 respectively, consisted primarily of a further impairment in our investment in New World Brands Inc. (OTC BB: NWBD.OB) in which we hold less than 20%.

“Our performance in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was adversely affected by the global economic slowdown. Therefore, we have accelerated and completed the implementation of a cost reduction program, resulting in improved operating efficiency”, said Shalom Daskal, Chief Executive Officer of BOS. “We are seeing an increase in customer interest in  BOS’ RFID, Mobile and Supply Chain solutions. If the global economy begins to improve, we believe this interest will yield increased sales and better margins in the second half of 2009.” Edouard Cukierman, Chairman, added: “Based on our market leadership and product portfolio, we are well positioned to increase revenues and improve our operating results.”
