We are in line with our projections for the first quarter, and expect to end the year 2015 with a net GAAP profit, as compared to a net GAAP loss of $433,000 in the year 2014. Our gross profit margin improved to 20.3% in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to 15% in the previous quarter. We are working extensively to expand our business and improve profitability, possibly also through synergetic acquisitions."

Avidan Zelicovsky, BOS' president, added: "We are pleased that the gross profit margin of the Supply Chain division in the first quarter of 2015 increased to 16.6% from 9% in the previous quarter. In addition, the Supply Chain division's backlog is relatively high, so we expect the division's revenues for the year 2015 to be higher than for the year 2014."
