RISHON LEZION, Israel, Nov. 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (the "Company", "BOS") (Nasdaq:BOSC), a leading Israeli provider of RFID and supply chain solutions to global enterprises, today reported its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 grew by 8% as compared to the comparable quarter last year. Revenues for the first nine months of 2014 grew by 11%, as compared to the comparable period last year.

Net profit for the third quarter of 2014 amounted to $8,000, as compared to a net profit of $219,000 in the comparable period last year. The decrease in net profit is attributed to bad debt expenses which amounted to $45,000 in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to an income associated with the reversal of bad debt expenses of $187,000 in the comparable quarter last year. Net loss for the first nine months of 2014 amounted to $60,000 as compared to a net loss of $43,000 in the comparable period last year.

Net profit on a NON GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2014 amounted to $105,000, as compared to a net profit of $307,000 in the comparable period last year. Net profit for the first nine months of 2014 amounted to $236,000, as compared to a net profit of $241,000 in the comparable period last year.

Edouard Cukierman, Chairman of the Board, stated, "These results reflect a continuing improvement in the Company's performance and financial position. We expect these positive trends to continue in the future."

Yuval Viner, BOS CEO, added "We are continuing our efforts to streamline our operations, improve our products and strengthen our financial position. We are confident that we will meet our challenges and expect to end 2014 with a net profit on a non-GAAP basis."
