Q4 2006 Preliminary Results

For the fourth quarter of 2006, BackWeb's financial performance improved from that of Q3 2006. The following table highlights the company's preliminary results for Q4 2006 as well as the actual results for Q3 2006 and Q4 2005.
[TABLE OMITTED]


(1) The Q4 2006 and Q3 2006 net losses include approximately $100,000 in non-cash stock-based compensation related expenses. The Q4 2005 net loss does not include such expenses.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Bill Heye, stated, "We are encouraged by the improvement we achieved in license sales in Q4 as well as the 2007 pipeline of customer and partner opportunities we have developed so far. This improved performance will be complemented by our previously announced cost cutting initiatives which should reduce 2007 expenses to approximately $1.5 to $1.6 million per quarter from approximately $2.4 million per quarter in 2006. We felt it was important to share this overview of our Q4 performance as we approach the delisting of our shares from Nasdaq later this month. We will release our final, audited Q4 2006 results in February."

NASDAQ Delisting - Move to OTC Bulletin Board

In May 2006, Nasdaq implemented a change in its continued listing requirements to stipulate that non-U.S. companies must now comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(E)(i) which states that the closing per share bid price of Nasdaq listed companies must be at or above $1.00. Non-U.S. companies had previously been exempted from the rule. In July 2006, BackWeb received notification from Nasdaq indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of BackWeb's Ordinary Shares had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(E)(ii), BackWeb was provided 180 calendar days, or until January 16, 2007, to regain compliance by having the bid price of its shares close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.

On January 17, 2007, BackWeb received the expected written notification from Nasdaq that the Company's Ordinary Shares will be delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, taking effect beginning on the morning of January 26, 2007. BackWeb's Ordinary Shares may become eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board if a market maker makes application to quote the Ordinary Shares and such application is cleared by the NASD NASD

. BackWeb has already begun seeking sponsorship from market makers in an effort to facilitate the filing of a Form 211 in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-11. A Form 211 application and its clearance are required for the listing of BackWeb's Ordinary Shares on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company expects, but cannot be certain, that trading on the OTC Bulletin Board would commence on January 26, 2007 or soon thereafter.

BackWeb's Vice President, Finance, Ken Holmes, commented, "As we had previously indicated, after thorough review we have decided to take no action to stay the delisting of our shares from Nasdaq. Our decision was based on review of all the issues involved and the determination that our best course was to keep our resources focused in support of our business. At this point in our business, we believe a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board will provide adequate liquidity for a company of our size as well as for the investors in our company."
