Reconciliation of the theoretical tax expense to the actual tax expense:

The main reconciling items between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate are the non-recognition of tax benefits from accumulated net operating losses carry forward among the Company and various subsidiaries due to uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits.

Tax assessments:

BOS Odem and BOS Dimex have final assessments through 2008. BOS has final assessments through 2007.

Tax assessments for Ruby-Tech Inc., a U.S. subsidiary, through 2009 have all been assessed as final.

In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, interest expense and potential penalties related to income taxes are included in the tax expense line of the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Israel and in the United States. BOS Dimex and BOS Odem may be subject to auditing by the Israel tax authorities for fiscal years 2009 and thereafter. BOS may be subject to auditing by the Israel tax authorities for fiscal years 2008 and thereafter. Ruby-Tech Inc., a U.S. subsidiary, may be subject to auditing by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years 2010 and thereafter.

The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to tax audits and settlement. The final tax outcome of the Company's tax audits could be different from that which is reflected in the Company's income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material effect on the Company's income tax provision and net loss in the period in which such determination is made.
