      This Report on Form 10-Q contains express or implied forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “estimates” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance or operations and speak only as of the date the statements are made. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from such statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q in, for example, Part I, Item 2, in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in such forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of such forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the future events, plans or expectations contemplated by the Company will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update, review or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Organization — BackWeb Technologies Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of Israel in August 1995 and commenced operations in November 1995. BackWeb Technologies Ltd. together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “BackWeb” or the “Company”) is a provider of critical communications infrastructure software and application-specific software that enable companies to communicate and distribute business-critical, time-sensitive information throughout their extended enterprise of customers, partners and employees. BackWeb sells its products directly to end users from a variety of industries, including the telecommunications, financial and computer industries, and through OEM and reseller arrangements.

      The BackWeb group of companies consists of wholly owned subsidiaries operating as follows: BackWeb Technologies, Inc., a U.S. corporation; BackWeb Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation; and BackWeb Technologies Europe Limited, a United Kingdom corporation with a branch in Germany.

      The following subsidiaries ceased commercial operations in January 2002 but continue to be wholly owned subsidiaries and are registered as BackWeb Technologies B.V., a Netherlands corporation; BackWeb Technologies (U.K.) Ltd., a United Kingdom corporation; BackWeb Technologies GmbH, a German corporation; and BackWeb Technologies S.a.r.l., a French corporation. Two subsidiaries ceased commercial operations in September 2001 but continue to be wholly owned subsidiaries and are registered as BackWeb Technologies A.B., a Swedish corporation, and BackWeb K.K. Ltd., a Japanese corporation.

      Basis of Presentation — The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BackWeb Technologies Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. They have been prepared in accordance with established guidelines for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of regulation S-X. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from audited financial statements at such date. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period indicated. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

      Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes software license revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended (“SOP 97-2”). SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of the elements. The Company has also adopted SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”), for all transactions entered into after January 1, 2000. SOP 98-9 requires that revenue be recognized under the “Residual Method” when vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for all undelivered elements and no VSOE exists for the delivered elements.

      To date, the Company has derived its revenue from license fees of its products, maintenance and training, as well as rendering of consulting services. The Company sells its products primarily through its direct sales force, resellers and OEMs.

      Revenue from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant obligations with regard to installation remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company does not grant a right of return to its customers. When a right of return exists, the Company defers revenue until the right of return expires, at which time revenue is recognized provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

      When contracts contain multiple elements wherein VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, the Company accounts for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method” prescribed by SOP 98-9. Maintenance revenue included in these arrangements is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. The VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements (maintenance, training and consulting services) is determined based on the price charged for the undelivered element when sold separately.

      We license our products on a perpetual and on a term basis. License revenue arising from the sale of perpetual licenses is recognized in the accounting period that the sale takes place. License revenue arising from term license is recognized over the contractual term of the license. Management defines a term license as one whose term is one year or less from the date of the official order form and sale taking place, and revenue arising during this period is ratably recognized over the license period.

      Revenues are primarily derived from contracts with corporate customers and resellers, and royalty fees earned upon delivery of products, which incorporate the Company’s software. Revenues on contracts with resellers are not recognized until software is sold through to the end user. Royalty revenues are recognized when reported to the Company after delivery of the related products. In addition, royalty revenue can arise from the right to use the Company’s products.

      Service revenues are primarily comprised of revenues from standard maintenance agreements, consulting and training fees. Customers licensing our products generally purchase the standard annual maintenance agreement for the products. Revenues from maintenance agreements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance period. Consulting services are billed at an agreed upon rate, plus out-of-pocket expenses and training services on a per session basis. The Company recognizes service revenues from consulting and training when provided to the customer.

      Deferred revenue includes amounts billed to customers or cash received from customers for which revenue has not been recognized.

      Net Loss Per Share — The basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period.

      The following table presents the calculation of the basic and diluted net loss per Ordinary Share (in thousands, except per share data):
