BLUEPHOENIX SOLUTIONS REPORTS RECORD Q3 AND NINE MONTHS RESULTS

HIGHEST – EVER REVENUES, OPERATING INCOME & NET INCOME

Herzlia, Israel – November 7, 2006 – BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd. (NASDAQ: BPHX), the leader in Enterprise IT Modernization, today reported record revenues and earnings for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2006, BluePhoenix reported record sales of $49.7 million, up 14% from $43.5 million in the same period a year ago. Operating income for the first nine months of 2006 rose 133% to $5.6million, from $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2005. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the first nine nearly doubled to 11% from 6% in the comparable year prior period.

Adjusted net income for the first nine months of 2006, excluding non-cash financial expenses mainly related to convertible debentures, reached $4.2 million or $0.29 per share, from $1.4 million or $0.11 per share in the first nine months of 2005. Net income grew over threefold, reaching $3.3 million, or $0.24 per share, versus $980,000, or $0.07 per share, in the first three quarters of 2005.

BluePhoenix reported Q3 record sales of $17.1 million, up 14% from $15 million in the third quarter of 2005. Operating income for the third quarter – the sixth quarter of sequential top and bottom line growth – was a record $2 million, up 130% from $871,000 in the third quarter of 2005. As a percentage of revenues, third quarter operating income doubled to 12%, from 6 % in the third quarter of 2005.

Third quarter adjusted net income, excluding non-cash financial expenses mainly related to convertible debentures, rose to $1.5 million, or $0.10 per share, from $620,000, or $0.05 per share, in the third quarter of 2005. Net income grew 156% to $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share, from $485,000, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2005.

Arik Kilman, Chief Executive Officer of BluePhoenix Solutions, commented, “We are proud of the record operating results of our operations. As expected, our performance during 2006 is demonstrating the inherent strengths of our business strategy. The steady increase in revenues is mainly attributed to the broadening awareness and acceptance of the inevitability of IT system modernization. Our concept of modernizing the IT system with automated tools, in order to improve its ‘heartbeat’ is gaining momentum. A process that was perceived as an interesting technological solution is now recognized by leading industry analysts as a ‘must’ in order to facilitate the ongoing business growth of our customers.”

“As expected, our infrastructure that combines local presence at our customers’ sites, together with offshore competence centers, efficiently supports our customers’ needs and drives our improving results. We continue to invest in the development of our automated modernization tools. The expanded range of our solutions and the proven high satisfaction of our customers has been the engine that generates the spiral growth,” concluded Mr. Kilman.
