ATLANTA - November 13, 2006 - Jacada Ltd.(Nasdaq: JCDA), a leading provider of unified desktop and process optimization solutions for customer service operations, today reported financial results for the 2006 third quarter.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the 2006 third quarter was $181,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $143,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the 2005 third quarter.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 2006 were $15.2 million, compared to $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 2005. Software and products revenues were $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 2006, compared to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 2005.

Non-GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 2006 was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 2005.

At the end of the 2006 third quarter, Jacada's cash and investments totaled $35.6 million, compared to $35.0 million at the end of the 2006 second quarter and $37.0 million at the end of the 2005 third quarter.

"We believe that Jacada's near breakeven third-quarter results and our stable cash position demonstrate that our business is trending in the right direction," said Gideon Hollander, CEO of Jacada. "Our business model is working and we are witnessing increased demand for unified contact center desktops and customer service process optimization."

During the third quarter, Jacada gained significant traction by adding notable customers including Quelle.Contact Vertrieb GmbH, a subsidiary of KarstadtQuelle's Mail Order Division, Europe's leading mail order retailer; Metavante, a major provider of banking and payments technologies to financial services firms and businesses worldwide; and MiCasa, a leading financial services company in Venezuela. Jacada also signed new business with Embratel, one of the largest telecom companies in Latin America.

"We are excited to see companies investing in Jacada solutions to strategically differentiate their customer service operations by eliminating inefficiencies and streamlining workflows, as well as delivering more robust multi-channel customer service solutions," said Paul O'Callaghan, president of Jacada.

"In the third quarter, Jacada continued building substantial industry relationships with global resellers and systems integrators," said O'Callaghan. "Leveraging these partnerships, Jacada is expanding its presence around the globe, building industry momentum and closing new business."

During the quarter, Jacada and Datapoint Customer Solutions Ltd, the leading UK expert in call center operations, signed a distributor agreement that will augment Jacada's presence in the UK region. A significant partnership with a large systems integrator in Germany yielded the contract with Quelle.Contact. Additionally, Jacada forged a marketing and referral agreement with one of the world's largest contact center outsourcers, where Jacada's contact center solutions will be presented as a value-added offering to the partner's clients.

"At this time, we have good visibility into the full year 2006 results," said Hollander. "Therefore, we expect 2006 total annual revenue to increase over 2004 and 2005 and to exceed $20.0 million. In addition, our backlog of unrecognized revenue for our contact center solutions continues to grow. Based on our sales pipeline, we believe that this backlog will continue to generally grow."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Jacada uses non-GAAP measures of net loss and loss per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with SFAS 123R and amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions effected by Jacada in previous years.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors.
