ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

     On July 31, 2006, BackWeb Technologies Ltd. (“BackWeb”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2006. A copy of this press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.

     The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including the information incorporated into this Item 2.02 from the accompanying exhibit, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES.

     On July 31, 2006, BackWeb announced in the press release referenced in Item 2.02 above that it would implement a restructuring of the company in order to reduce expenses. With planned staffing reductions in its services unit, some other departments and certain other expense reductions, BackWeb seeks to reduce its ongoing expense by approximately 20% from its second quarter of 2006 levels. The reductions are designed to maximize the benefit of service partnerships, reduce BackWeb’s quarterly cash burn and conserve its cash position. BackWeb anticipates a charge of approximately $200,000 in the third quarter of 2006 to reflect severance and other costs related to the personnel and expense reductions.

     The information contained in the press release attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 regarding the planned restructuring is incorporated into this Item 2.05 by reference.

ITEM 3.01. NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

     On July 25, 2006, BackWeb received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications Department indicating that, for 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 under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(E)(i). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(E)(ii), BackWeb will be 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. If BackWeb has not regained compliance by January 16, 2007, Nasdaq staff will determine if BackWeb meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4320(e), except for the bid price requirement. If it meets the initial listing criteria, Nasdaq staff will notify BackWeb that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If BackWeb is not eligible for an additional compliance period, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that BackWeb’s Ordinary Shares will be delisted. At that time, BackWeb may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to delist its Ordinary Shares to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.

     BackWeb intends to monitor the bid price of its Ordinary Shares and consider all available options if the bid price of its Ordinary Shares does not close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to January 16, 2007.

     The press release discussed in Items 2.01 and 2.05 above issued by BackWeb on July 31, 2006, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, also discusses the contents of the Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter.
