Redwood City, CA — January 28, 2010 — BroadVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: BVSN), an innovative provider of online commerce and business social networking solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $7.2 million, compared with revenues of $7.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 and $9.7 million for the comparable quarter of 2008.

License revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million, compared with $2.7 million for the prior quarter and $3.6 million for the comparable quarter of 2008. The majority of the fourth quarter license and subscription revenue was generated from the Company's BroadVision® Business Agility Suite™, Commerce Agility Suite™, QuickSilver™, eMerchandising™, CLEAR™ and Clearvale™ solutions. Revenue during the quarter was generated from sales to both new and existing customers, such as Telefonica O2 UK Limited, W. W. Grainger, Baker Hughes, Thomas Cook (India), Siemens Medical Solution, Lockheed Martin, Fidelity Investments, Bimbit.com, BBK Worldwide, and several other brand-name global customers.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, BroadVision posted net income on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) basis of $0.5 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, as compared with GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or $0.41 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009 and GAAP net loss of $22.1 million, or $5.04 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2008.

Non-GAAP measure net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $0.7 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, compared with non-GAAP measure net income of $2.0 million or $0.45 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009 and non-GAAP measure net income of $2.8 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable quarter of 2008. These non-GAAP measure results exclude goodwill impairment, restructuring charge (credit), stock compensation expense and revaluation of warrant liabilities. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measure net income figures to GAAP net income figures is included in a table on the attached financial statements. The Company believes these non-GAAP measure results provide useful information because they reflect the Company's financial performance excluding certain charges, credits, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $61.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to a combined balance of $63.2 million as of September 30, 2009 and $61.9 million as of December 31, 2008.
