BOS Announces the Closing of the Dimex Transaction

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Rishon Lezion, Israel – (PR News WIRE) – March 12, 2008 - B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (“BOS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BOSC; TASE: BOSC), a leading provider of comprehensive Mobile and RFID solutions for the enterprise, announced today the closing of the transaction for the acquisition of assets and activities of Dimex Systems Ltd. (“Dimex”).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Dimex, a profitable Israeli private company incorporated in 1988, is a leading integrator of AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Collection) solutions based on RFID and Barcode technology. Dimex, which employs approximately 55 persons, has ended the year 2006 with revenues of approximately NIS 51 million ($11.5 million) and with operating income before tax of approximately NIS 5 million ($1.1 million) (the revenues in NIS are based on audited Israeli GAAP).

BOS is acquiring the business operation of Dimex in consideration for approximately NIS 17.6 million ($5.00 million) and its inventory, accounts receivable and fixed assets in consideration for approximately NIS 27 million ($7.7 million).

The consideration is comprised of cash, payable over a 24-month period and 500,224 BOS ordinary shares (equal to approximately 4.4% of the outstanding shares of BOS.) The purchase price is financed in part by a short and long term credit facility of approximately NIS 17.3 million extended by Bank Leumi and drawn on in accordance with the payment schedule and working capital needs. In order to secure the repayment of the bank loans, BOS has granted the bank security interests in its assets and in assets of its wholly owned Israeli subsidiaries, Dimex Solutions Ltd. and Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd. and also undertook to comply with certain covenants.
