Dear shareholders, Ladies and gentlemen,

The pleasing business development of the last few quarters continued in the second quarter of 2006: adjusted for revenues related to the AENEIS software product that was sold as of January 1, 2006, revenues in the first six months of the current year rose 13%. As a consequence, the positive developments in the first half of the year compared with the previous year have been put on an increasingly sound footing.

The focusing of the business model on the core business of working time management and personnel resource planning carried out in the previous year has led to further evident improvements in revenues and profits, as well as in cash flow, and has also improved the prospects for the current business year.

We are now reaping the benefits from the high investments that we had committed to new technologies and sector solutions in the last few years, in particular those relating to merchandising and retailing companies. This is borne out by major orders that we have received from important new customers such as Austrian Airlines, T-Punkt Vertriebsgesellschaft or the EDEKA Group. Several renowned retailing companies such as Max Bahr Baumärkte or K+L Ruppert are now relying on our solutions for working time management and personnel resource planning. In this way we are currently expanding our already strong position in the retailing and merchan-

dising area.

Rising demand, new orders, revenues and order books

Since the fourth quarter of 2005, we have been enjoying a detectable level of demand for our new technologies. The dynamic of this demand is evident in the continuous high level of orders placed since the end of last year, in significantly higher revenues and in a pleasingly high order book of projects in the process of realization. The order book for software licenses as of June 30, 2006 was € 1.5 million and, as a result, stood at over twice the level of the previous year.

This significantly improved order book position means that we can forecast and plan with a greater degree of security for the coming quarters. As a consequence, we are very confident in the future outlook of the business.

Strong cash flow, continued high level of liquidity even after profit distribution

The dynamic business development was evident in a significant increase in operating cash flow. In the first half year, as a result of a very good business development, cash flow amounted to € 2.8 million, compared with just € 0.4 million in the previous year. Although liquidity fell as a consequence of the distribution of € 5.50 per share, due to the high operating cash flow, it now stands at € 9.1 million. As a result, ATOSS continues to enjoy a very comfortable equity ratio and cash position.

Record figures in prospect for the 2006 financial year

With an operating profit of € 1.3 million, we are reporting the best half-year result in the history of ATOSS.

Due to the good start to the 2006 financial year, we have this year already twice raised our profits forecasts for the current 2006 financial year, on the last occasion on May 11 when we announced major new orders from the retail sector. So far we have been working on the basis of an EBIT margin of at least 11% and an operating result (EBIT) of a least € 2.3 million (previously € 1.7 million). In doing so, we have retained our conservative forecasting policy.

After ATOSS achieved a margin on sales of 12% already in the first of the year, we are convinced that we can achieve our forecast for the current year in any eventuality. If the favorable business development continues into the coming quarters, further improvements in profits may result.

As a result, it is foreseeable that in the current 2006 financial year, ATOSS will exceed the figures of the best year in the company's history – 2003 – in terms of operating profit.

Yours sincerely

Andreas F.J. Obereder (Chief Executive Officer)

K&L Ruppert: ATOSS Customer since 2006

Sales growth adjusted for AENEIS 13%, for software licenses 24%

The company developed in an extremely gratifying manner during the first half of the year and is continuing the positive trend of the fourth quarter of the last business year. ATOSS Group sales in the period January to June 2006 amounted to € 10.4 million, compared with just € 9.6 million in the first half of the previous year. After adjusting for the sales contributions of the previous year from the AENEIS product that has been sold in the meantime, growth amounted to 13%.

Sales from software licenses, in particular, are also developing positively again and, as in the last two quarters, they are exceeding the comparable periods of the previous year. In the first half of 2006 software licenses sales were up by 14% and, when adjusted for the contribution to sales from AENEIS, by as much as 24%.

As a result of the separation from AEN-EIS, sales from software maintenance fell slightly to € 4.0 million. Overall software sales at € 6.1 million were 4% above the level of the previous year at € 5.9 million. Adjusted for AENEIS, sales grew by 9%.

In the consultancy business, ATOSS achieved growth in the first of the year of 10%, with sales of € 2.7 million compared with € 2.5 million in the previous year. Adjusted for AENEIS, sales growth was equivalent to 12%.

In the first six months of the year, sales from the hardware business amounted to € 1.3 million compared with € 0.9 million in the same period of the previous year.

Significant improvement in earnings

While the operating result before the effects arising from the convertible bond subscription program (EBITCB) was at break-even in the first half of the previous year, as of June 30, 2006 it amounted to € 1.4 million.

There is a special effect of € 0.4 million resulting from the realization of the disposal of AENEIS with effect from January 1, 2006.

As a consequence, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of € 1.3 million also clearly exceed the result of the previous year, which amounted to -€ 0.2 million in the first half of 2005.

Earnings before taxes (EBT) rose to € 1.5 million, compared with € 0.1 million in the previous year.

Net income at € 0.9 million or 0.22 cents per share also represents a very good outcome for the first six months, compared with the break-even result of the previous year.

Continued high level of commitment to product development

ATOSS continues to pursue the further development of its products at a very high level. As a result, we are able to offer customers very innovative and technically mature solutions that deliver measurable improvements in efficiency.

In the first half-year, the expenditure on research & development totaled € 1.9 million, whereas in the previous year, ATOSS had spent € 2,1 million, which included development work on AENEIS. The decline is attributable primarily to the elimination of product development costs associated with AENEIS.

In the product development area, the number of employees fell from 55 to 49 on a half-year comparison basis.

The share of sales absorbed by research and development costs fell from 22% to 18%, last but not least due to the higher level of sales.

Higher cash flow, cash position exceeds € 9 million

In the first six months we generated operating cash flow of almost € 2.8 million, compared with € 0.4 million in the same period of the previous year. The strong increase compared with the previous year is due to the significant revitalization of business activity related to a marked reduction in receivables and the creation of short-term provisions and tax provisions.

As a result of the seasonal effects involved in the calculation of maintenance fees, operating cash flow is comparatively higher in the first and third quarters, while the second and fourth quarters tend to show lower or negative cash flows. In the second quarter of this year, we generated a positive cash flow of € 0.1 million.

Management Report

Particularly through the use of provisions and tax payments in the second half of the year, the very high level of cash flow in the first half of the year is relativized during the course of the year.

Despite a cash outflow of € 21.5 million to pay the dividend, high operating cash flows have boosted liquidity back to € 9.1 million while the year is still under way. As a consequence, the change in cash and cash equivalents for the first half of the year stands at € 18.7 million. Liquidity for each share in circulation on average is therefore equivalent to € 2.34. As of December 31, 2005, this figure was still € 7.21 per share.

As of June 30, 2006, total assets amounted to € 13.6 million (30.06.2005: € 31.6 million). At € 7.4 million, equity was equivalent to 55% of total assets (previous year: 85%).

The decline is attributable to the distribution of a dividend of € 5.50 per share.

Employees

As of June 30, 2006, the company employed 162 members of staff. Consequently, compared with the end of the first half of 2005, the total number of personnel engaged fell by 13%. The key factor in this respect is the discontinuation of activities associated with the AENEIS software product.

At its Munich location, ATOSS Software AG is currently training three employees as company officers (previous year: five trainees). Following their final examinations in the first quarter, three trainees were granted employment contracts.

Security in earnings forecasts

According to the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWA), strong exports and rising domestic demand are currently accelerating the German economic recovery.

This should also lead to companies being more prepared to invest in IT systems. This expectation is underscored by the results of surveys carried out by the sector association, the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM).

However, the key factor for the durable commercial success of ATOSS remains the fact that we are successful in the way we address our customers.

In this respect, we made progressive steps during the first half of the year: besides Austrian Airlines and Max Bahr Baumärkte, new customers that are depending on ATOSS solutions include further major companies such as the EDEKA retail group and the T-Punkte sales company.

Besides increased demand for ATOSS products, the positive business development of the current year is supported by the company's dependable cost structure.

For this reason, ATOSS is convinced that it will in all cases be able to meet its forecast for 2006, in other words, an EBIT margin of at least 11% and an operating result (EBIT) of a least € 2.3 million. As a consequence, it is foreseeable that in the current 2006 financial year, ATOSS will exceed the figures of the best year in the company's history -2003 - in terms of operating profit.

Share price rally into the year-end – strong demand in the first quarter

Following the summer of 2005, during which the price of the ATOSS share was weighed down by corporate results that gave little cause for satisfaction, the shares rallied towards the end of the year. Higher levels of new orders and good results in the fourth quarter led to renewed interest in the shares and, after the announcement of the dividend, the shares encountered strong demand with share prices reaching in some cases over € 17.

This development was attributable only to a limited extent to the significantly improved business development since the fourth quarter of 2005. A key factor for the development of the share price in particular was the special dividend of € 5.50 per share that was paid out on May 3, 2006, and the way in which this dividend was treated from a tax perspective.

Correction following the dividend payout

Following the payment of the dividend

of € 5.50 per share, the high level of demand in the run-up to the distribution led to the shares falling by more than the value of the dividend paid.

Adjusted for the nominal value of the distribution of € 5.50 per share, a comparison with the Technology All Share Index demonstrates the favorable development of ATOSS shares on a long-term basis.

Potential for 2006

Since for the 2006 financial year the company is expecting the best results in its history, the current share price level, in the view of analysts from SES Research, still offers significant potential for a favorable development until the year end assuming that the overall mood on stock exchanges becomes somewhat brighter.

Between January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006 an average of 137,954 convertible bonds were in circulation.
