6-MONTH FINANCIAL REPORT QUARTERLY REPORT
20 JAHRE ATOSS
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders. Ladies and Gentlemen.
In the 20th year of the company's history - as ATOSS remains on course for continued growth - we have just recorded our best half-yearly results to date. It is already foreseeable that in the course of this year we shall again exceed the record set in the year before.
With the ending of the second quarter of 2007, we have now recorded seven successive quarters of growth.
Best 6-monthly result
The strong development in business in the first quarter of the year was repeated in the second quarter, with the result that we have recorded the best 6-monthly result in our company's history.
As sales rose while costs remained steady, we have lifted our results to a record level with EBIT for the first halfyear now standing at €1.9 million. It should also be considered that the previous year's figure of €1.3 million included the proceeds from the sale of the product AFNEIS.
In Q2 we were for the first time successful in achieving quarterly EBIT in excess of one million euro.
Robust growth in sales, especially in software licensing
On the sales side, in the first half-year and in the second quarter we recorded robust growth of twelve percent.
Sales of software licenses - the driving force behind our business model - rose with exceptional vigor, increasing in the second quarter by 30 percent relative to the same quarter last year.
Orders on hand increased in the first half
Similarly in the first half we were also successful in increasing software licensing orders on hand by 17 percent.
Looking ahead to the coming quarters, it is this development in the order book in particular which further underpins the reliability of our forecasts for the immediate future.
Strong cash flow, strong liquidity
In the first half-year ATOSS has again demonstrated its financial strength, having recorded a substantial cash flow of $f$ 2 2 million
Despite paying a dividend amounting to €1.0 million, this led to a nine percent increase in liquidity, which rose from € 10.8 million by the end of December 2006 to today's € 11.7 million. ATOSS thus continues to enjoy excellent financial resources.
Continuing product development
We shall continue to maintain a high level of investment in our products and in so doing safequard the future of the solutions we offer. Expenditure on research and development in the first half was 17 percent higher than in the year before at €2.2 million.
For our customers, this means continuing technical as well as functional improvements in working time management and personnel resource planning.
Year-end forecast raised
The excellent results in the first six months coupled with the high level of orders on hand have given us cause to raise our EBIT forecast for the year-end from €2.4 million to a new figure of €3.0 million.
As in the past, we believe there may be room for further forecast adjustments provided that the pattern of growth continues.
Yours truly
Andreas E. L. Obered
[Chief Executive Officer]
[Member of Management Board]

Strong start to the new year
The ATOSS stock price developed well towards the end of the fourth quarter last year, reaching a high of €10.20.
Once the anticipated targets for sales and results had been achieved, and with a moderate outlook forecast for the year 2007, on January 8 this year analysts switched their rating from "buy" to "hold".
"Running AT0SS"
With the rating remaining unchanged, as part of a comprehensive analysis of the company in February 2007 the target price of our stock was lifted to €11.00.
Nevertheless, in view of the continuing cautious outlook for the year-end, in the weeks that followed the share price was unable to hold on to the high level seen at the start of the year and declined steadily in the first quarter.
However the balance sheet press conference and our presentation on Small- and Mid-cap Day at the CeBIT computer fair on March 19, 2007, generated increasing interest.
"Attractively priced"
Subsequently on March 23, with the same target price in mind analysts at SES Research lifted their rating to "buy" and with the prospect of the annual general meeting and the proposed dividend of €0.24, the share price recovered
"ATOSS on course for growth"
Despite a further "buy" recommendation on April 17 and the presentation of the full quarterly figures on April 24, the share price could not be maintained in the second quarter.
ATOSS Customer PEPSICO Deutschland
"Outstanding Q2" It was only after an ad hoc announcement on July 8, accompanied by a gratifying analysts' assessment, that our stock again increased markedly in value.
SES Research has already announced its intention of increasing its forecasts once the full report on Q2 is published
Forecasting reliability remains the focus
The company will continue to adhere to its conservative forecasting policy established over the past months. The Management Board considers it important to focus on the reliability of its forecasts. Accordingly, a further adjustment in the outlook for operating profits (EBIT) currently expected to come in $\epsilon$ 3.0 million may be possible provided that the present satisfactory trend in business continues.
MANAGEMENT REPORT
1. Business and conditions: Growth in all sectors of the German economy
The economic upturn has not been restricted to certain sub-segments of German manufacturing industry: It is to be felt everywhere in a large number of sectors. This is evident from a detailed study of the ifo Business Survey and official statistical data.
Signs of this welcome economic situation have been evident at ATOSS for some time. In a demonstration of the success with which it has consistently pursued its strategic objectives, the company has meanwhile recorded its seventh quarter of sustained growth.
The focus remains firmly on continuously improving access to the markets in the German-speaking territories using all relevant channels of distribution
The aim being in particular to consolidate organic growth in all business areas and markets.
2. Earnings situation: Robust growth in the first half-year - seven growth quarters recorded in succession
In the first six months of the year ATOSS recorded 12 % growth in sales, with the overall sales total increasing from €10.4 million to €11.7 million. Sales of software in particular rose by 14 % to €7.0 million (previous year: €6.1 million). The trend in software licensing was especially gratifying with an increase of 19 % lifting sales from € 2.1 million to € 2.5 million.
Software licenses are the main pillar supporting the company's business model, in that they are followed by recurring maintenance revenues
Orders received for software licenses declined in the first halfyear by 9 % to € 2.7 million (previous year: € 3.0 million).
However, software maintenance sales from January to July were increased from $\epsilon$ 4.0 million to $\epsilon$ 4.5 million, repre-
senting growth of 11 %
The rise in consulting sales amounted to 10 %. Sales in this business area increased from €2.7 million to €3.0 million in the first half-year.
Hardware, too, showed an increase with sales rising 8 % to €1.4 million (previous year: €1.3 million).
With costs remaining at the same level as in the previous year, the company generated an operating result (EBIT) of $$1.9$ million in the first half-vear, the best 6-monthly result in its history.
What's more, the previous year's figure of r 1.3 million also included other operating income amounting to $\epsilon$ 0.4 million from the sale of the software product AENEIS. After adjustment for this effect, the result for the first half-year increased by 119 %.
After taxes, earnings amounted to €1.2 million, up by 46 % over the €0.9 million recorded in the year before.
Earnings per share as of June 30, 2007, stood at 31 cent Inrevious year: 22 cent)
The continuing high level of orders on hand for software licenses is equally satisfactory. The total rose in the first half-vear by 17 % from € 1.3 million to € 1.5 million, and as such continues to underpin the reliability of forward planning for the coming quarters.
3. Net assets and financial position
The excellent results and in particular the decline in receivables from $\xi$ 3.7 million to $\xi$ 2.7 million in the first half helped to ensure strong cash flow from operations amounting to $\epsilon$ 2.2 million. This figure did not however reach the previous year's level of €2.8 million, especially given that last year the company was able to take large orders from major customers to income. Deferred revenues in the first half-year remained almost unchanged at €1.6 million (December 31) 2006: $\notin$ 1.5 million].
Despite the dividend payment amounting to $\epsilon$ 1.0 million, liquidity in the first six months of the year was increased from €10.8 million to €11.7 million.
The company thus continues to enjoy excellent funding and is in a position to fulfil its liabilities.
Fauity too, despite the dividend funded out of net income. was increased from €8.7 million on December 31, 2006 to € 9.1 million as of June 30, 2007. After allowing for a slight increase in the balance sheet total which rose to $\epsilon$ 15.8 million (December 31, 2006: €15.7 million), the equity ratio was 57 %, compared with 55 % at the end of 2006.
4. Product development
ATOSS continues to develop new products in substantial measure. Expenditure on product development accordingly rose by 17 % from € 1.9 million to € 2.2 million, with the relative proportion of total sales rising from 18 % to 19 %.
5. Employees
ATOSS meanwhile employs 61 software developers (previous year: 49) engaged in the development of additional or improved working time management and personnel resource planning software.
The total number of employees rose from 169 to 188 in the first half of 2007 (previous year: 162). Of these, 36 (previous year: 40) are engaged in sales and marketing and 57 (previous year: 42) as consultants.
- Risks and chances associated with future development
The company perceives no relevant changes in the risk structure as outlined in the consolidated financial statements to December 31, 2006. There are furthermore risks remaining from data protection and data security, market risks relation
to competitive situations, risks from technical changes or the loss of key personnel.
For the improvement and scalability of market chances, it remains necessary to continue the personnel recruitment and to ensure the required know how-transfer.
7. Events after the balance sheet closing date
On July 6, 2007 the German Bundesrat approved the reform on corporate taxes 2008 after the German Bundestag had decided on the draft on May 25, 2007. Due to the reduction of the corporate income tax from 25% to 15% in 2008, a revaluation of deferred tax assets will be required in the third quarter 2007.
The Company estimates, that the revaluation of active deferred tax assets will slightly increase the tax expenses in 2007.
The active deferred taxes include mainly effects from the provision for pensions. The maximum effect from the revaluation of active deferred taxes will be at approximately 70 thousands €.
From 2008 - underlying the actual profit-distribution in the Group - the tax ratio will reduce from app. 42% to app. 35%.
The company anticipates that given the equal distribution of deferred taxes on both sides of the balance sheet, there will be no substantial tax effects in the year 2007.
8. Outlook
In parallel with the announcement of key figures for the first half on July 9, 2007, the company raised its forecast for the current year. With moderate growth in sales, the Management Board now expects earnings before interest and taxes to be at least $\notin$ 3.0 million, compared with its previous forecast of $\notin$ 2.4 million for the current year.
The conservative forecasting policy customarily adopted by the company leaves room for further improvements provided that the satisfactory trend in business continues.

From January 01 to June 30, 2007, there were an average of 77,586 convertible bonds in circulation.
