ATOSS Software AG: Records for financial year 2007 confirmed, positive
trend continues.

Munich, March 13, 2008 – ATOSS Software AG, the specialist in software
solutions covering all aspects of intelligent personnel resource planning,
took the opportunity of today’s press conference to confirm its expected
record results for 2007. Even after upgrading its forecast for a second
time, the company still managed to exceed even these targets for the year
2007.

Looking ahead to 2008, the Management Board is optimistic on the basis of
current order backlog.

Income from ordinary activities increased by 34%

In financial year 2007 ATOSS Software AG recorded record sales and
earnings. Sales rose by 11 % to € 24,4 million, accompanied by a
substantial increase in profits. ATOSS increased its income from ordinary
activities (EBIT)from € 2.8 million to € 3.8 million, while the margin on
sales was 15 % (previous year 13 %).

The company also set new records for other key indicator or came in on the
last years’ record level including cash flow, operating margin and bottom
line results. For example, ATOSS upheld its operating cash flow with € 4.2
million on last years record level (€ 4.3 million) despite a significant
increase in research and development to € 4.6 million (prev. year € 3.9
million). In fiscal year 2007 the company increased its net cash position
by € 2.7 million reaching € 13.5 million and increased its capital ratio to
59% (prev. year 55%). Against this backdrop, ATOSS attained an return on
equity of 24% (prev. Year 22%) and hereby its highest since the company was
floated.

Proposed dividend of € 0.31 per share represents a distribution rate of 50
%

Earnings per share rose significantly from € 0.48 to € 0.63. As a result
ATOSS will propose to its shareholders at the AGM that the company should
pay a dividend of € 0.31 per share. In line with the ATOSS dividend policy,
this is at the top end of the 30 to 50 % distribution scale.

The main factor behind this positive development in business was the
exceptionally strong response from customers. ATOSS has upgraded its
already highly successful software solutions in line with the latest J2EE
standard of Java technology and focused its software portfolio squarely on
the core areas of working hours management and personnel resource planning.

Order book provides a sound foundation for 2008

The positive demand for ATOSS solutions was evident in particular in the
software licensing business. However there were notable increases in other
sales categories as well. Software licensing in 2007 rose by 17 % to € 5.4
million. Hereby, ATOSS increased its order book for software licenses by
the end of fiscal year 2007 by 52% standing at € 1.9 million.

Against the background of these and other orders and the continuing
positive trend in business, the Management Board is optimistic and expects
for the current fiscal year to continue the profitable growth trend and
operational margin.
