JU7. QUARTERLY REPORT
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
course in its jubilee year «
Dear Shareholders. Ladies and Gentlemen.
This year, ATOSS celebrates its 20th anniversary. Therefore, we are all the more delighted that the first quarter of this anniversary year has so seamlessly continued the trend evident in 2006, the most successful year in the company's history to date. The first quarter of 2007 is now the sixth quarter in succession in which ATOSS has recorded continuing growth.
Record results for the first quarter
In the first three months of this year we have recorded a disproportionate increase in profits. Our interim financial statements to March 31, 2007, show an operating profit $[EBIT]$ of $\epsilon$ 0.9 million, the best result since the company was first founded. We have achieved this despite the inclusion last year of extraordinary income from the sale of the software product AENEIS.
Sales revenues too improved strongly, rising by 12 percent. The further increase in software licensing in particular will have a sustained consolidating effect on our business. thanks to the associated rise in future maintenance fees.
Orders on hand increase still further
The increase in software licensing was achieved without diminishing the level of orders on hand recorded at the end of last year. The order book on March 31, 2007 stood at € 1.3 million, compared with the previous year's figure of $\epsilon$ 0.6 million. We therefore remain in a position to forecast the development in sales in the coming quarters with some accuracy.
Strong cash flow, strong liquidity The company's funding power is confirmed by our very strong cash flow of € 3.0 million (previous year: € 2.7 million), equivalent to 52 percent of sales.
As a result within the first three months we have increased available liquidity to $\in$ 13.6 million, a rise of 26 percent since December 31, 2006.
Products presented at CeBIT 2007
Our principal product improvements introduced in recent quarters were presented at this year's CeBIT in Hanover. The major additions to the ATOSS Staff Efficiency Suite are to be found in the area of reporting (ATOSS Ultimate Reportingl, and to ATOSS Time Control Version 5.0 in the entirely new Java client.
Commitment to high levels of development input ATOSS intends to continue its substantial expenditure on research and development with a further investment equal to 19 percent of sales. For our customers, that means continuous product improvements and extensions which contribute directly to the advancement of working time management and personnel resource planning, and thereby enhance the power of their own enterprise.
Demand continues to rise
Orders received for software licenses represent the most tangible measure of customer demand: In the first quarter of the year, our order intake rose by 21 percent.
What's more, in conjunction with the increased demand for software we have also booked a rising level of orders for consulting services, hardware and programming.
Positive response at the AGM
The highly satisfactory key data for the first three months were reported to our Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on April 26, 2007.
Following on from the excellent results for both last year and the current year, the actions of the Management and Supervisory Boards received unanimous formal approval and a dividend of 24 cent was adopted.
We should like at this point once again to thank you, our Shareholders, for the confidence you have shown in us.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
- Business and conditions: Long term sustained growth In April, the German government raised its growth forecast for 2007 from 1.7 percent to 2.3 percent, and the IFO business index of 108.6 is now approaching a 16-year high. Meanwhile at ATOSS, grounds for confidence became evident some time ago: The period ending March 31, 2007 was the six successive quarter in which we recorded continuous arowth, proof positive of the sound and sustained development in our undertaking.
This demonstrates that business growth is largely dependent on the realization of our strategic objectives. The focus here is in particular on the consolidation of organic growth in all areas of business and relevant markets
2. Earnings: Six successive growth quarter delivers record results
The growth we have been recording now for six guarters in succession extends to sales of all types: Sales revenues as a whole rose by 12 % from € 5.1 million last year to € 5.7 million.
Software sales climbed 10 % to € 3.4 million (previous year: $\epsilon$ 3.1 million). Revenues from software licensing increased from $\in$ 1.1 million to $\in$ 1.2 million
These figures were not least the product of an increase in orders received for software licenses, the value of which rose to € 1.2 million in the first quarter (previous year: € 1.0 million).
Orders on hand in Q1 were up by $\epsilon$ 0.1 million. The order book now stands at € 1.3 million (previous year: € 0.6 million), with
the result that we are able to make reliable forecasts for the coming quarters.
Software maintenance revenues grew by 11 % to stand at € 2.2 million (previous year: € 2.0 million).
Similarly, the revenues generated by consulting services climbed by 11 % from € 1.3 million last year to € 1.5 million in the first quarter of this year.
Sales of hardware rose from $\epsilon$ 0.6 million to $\epsilon$ 0.7 million
With sales revenues rising and our cost structure remaining constant, operating profits (EBIT) have been increased by a remarkable 23 % from € 0.7 million to € 0.9 million. Indeed this is all the more notable, given that last year's figure included some $\epsilon$ 0.4 million in extraordinary income from the sale of the software product AENEIS effective January 1, 2006. After adjustment for this effect, the operating profit (EBIT) trebled. This is also the highest pre-tax profit (EBIT) we have yet achieved in a first quarter.
The result after tax now stands at $\epsilon$ 0.6 million (previous year: $\in$ 0.5 million), representing earnings per share of $\in$ 0.15 Incevious year: $\in$ 0.13).
3. Assets and financial situation
The excellent results and the diminution in accounts receivable in the first three months, coupled with the fact that invoices for software maintenance are issued in the first and third quarters of each year, have once again contributed to a healthy increase in cash flow from operating activities in Q1. The current cash flow of € 3.0 million is some 13 % higher than the previous vear's figure of $\epsilon$ 2.7 million.
As a result of the strong cash flow from business operations, liquidity also increased significantly in the first three months from $\in$ 10.8 million to $\in$ 13.6 million.
With funding power of this magnitude, the company remains well able to satisfy its liabilities.
Thanks to the excellent development in results and the associated increase in net profits, current equity at $\in$ 9.3 million has already outstripped the year-end figure of $\in$ 8.7 million
Payments already received for future software maintenance and fixed-price projects have lifted deferred revenues from € 1.5 million to € 4.0 million, with the effect that the equity ratio in Q1 declined slightly in comparison with December 31, 2006, from 55 % to 52 %.
4. Product development
Our commitment to the development of new products remains substantial. Consequently in March this year at CeBIT 2007 we were able to introduce some significant innovations such as the ATOSS Ultimate Reporting feature now integrated into the ATOSS Staff Efficiency Suite and the entirely new Java client for ATOSS Time Control.
These advances were also reflected in product development expenditure which rose from $\in$ 0.9 million to $\in$ 1.1 million The cost as a proportion of overall revenues accordingly increased from 18 % to 19 %.
5. Employees
ATOSS meanwhile employs 58 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 180 in the first quarter of 2007 (previous year: 165). Of these, 39 (previous year: 41) are engaged in sales and marketing and 51 (previous year: 43) as consultants.
- Risks associated with future development The company perceives no changes in the risk structure as outlined in the consolidated financial statements to December 31, 2006.
7. Outlook
The company stands by its customary conservative outlook for the current year 2007, which foresees moderate growth in sales with an increase in results for the year as a whole. After adjustment for miscellaneous income in 2006, an increase is expected in the order of 10 percent over the year before.
However, should buoyant customer demand continue, the Management Board considers that it maybe possible to adiust this forecast as the year progresses.

A good start: Analysts' ambitious upside target met The price of ATOSS stock developed strongly in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the price target of € 10.20 was duly achieved. Since then, however, it was not possible at this time to undertake an adjustment in our enterprise valuation, on January 8, 2007, analysts changed their rating from "buy" to "hold".
Given the company's moderate outlook, even after provisional figures for financial year 2006 were published on January 31, 2007, the valuation has not been increased despite the excellent results for the year.
Running ATOSS - Upside target increased A detailed company analysis by SES Research GmbH caused analysts to increase their upside target price in February 2007 to € 11.00.
The attraction of ATOSS stock was communicated to a wider audience through the medium of the balance sheet press conference and via a company presentation delivered at the Small and Mid-cap Day at the CeBIT computer fair in Hanover on March 19, 2007.
ATOSS once again attractively priced
The increase in our rating on March 23, 2007, from "hold" to "buy" sparked renewed interest in ATOSS stock. Follow ing publication of a news flash by SES Research GmbH, the share price rose steadily. Nevertheless the difference between the current share price and the upside target of $\epsilon$ 11.00 still leaves scope for investors to profit.
ATOSS on course for growth
The ad hoc announcement on April 17, 2007, of the excellent figures for the first quarter did not initially have a significant effect on the share price, even though the results clearly exceeded analysts' expectations. However the subsequent publication of a full press release on April 24 triggered a gratifying demand for ATOSS stock.
Forecasting policy remains conservative ATOSS has in past quarters established a conservative forecasting policy. As has been demonstrated, a stable development in the share price is dependent on the forecasts for coming quarters being of adequate reliability.
For this reason, once again at the Annual General Meeting on April 26, 2007, the Management Board adhered to this forecasting policy, while nevertheless offering the potential prospect of future improvements in results in the event that the gratifying trend in the first quarter is continued.

18. Earnings per share
The figure for earnings per share is arrived at by dividing the result for the period in the amount of 579,585 € by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. From January 01 to March 31, 2007, there were an average of 3,955,102 shares in circulation. Thus earnings per share for this period amounted to 0.15 $\epsilon$ , in comparison with 0.13 $\epsilon$ in the first quarter for 2006.
In order to calculate diluted earnings per share, the result for the period must be adjusted to allow for the interest cost relating to convertible bonds in the amount of 452 €. In addition the average number of shares outstanding is increased with the addition of shares potentially issued as a result of convertible bonds. From January 01 to March 31, 2007, there were an average of 80.196 convertible bonds in circulation. Thus the diluted earnings per share for this period amounted to Đ 0.14 €, in comparison with 0.12 € in the preceding year.
