Letter to Sharholders

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

With the first half of the 2011 financial year now behind us, this is an ideal time to take stock and see where we stand. We have double-digit growth rates to report, with sales up by 10 percent as well as a 13 percent increase in operating profits (EBIT)!

How has this above-average growth come about?

In the first place, of course, we have our customers to thank. In the first half of 2011 we were able to build on existing customer relationships and secure follow-up orders. In addition we have also acquired a large number of new customers for our products and services.

Take for example the premium fashion brand Tommy Hilfiger which is now using our ATOSS Retail Solution at 70 of its own stores and outlets. The next step will comprise a Europewide roll-out. The Praktiker DIY stores group has now also joined the ranks of ATOSS customers. The group's 8,000-strong workforce employed at over 400 stores will in future be managed using ATOSS solutions. We are also particularly pleased with recent developments in the health sector, where we have received orders for the ATOSS Medical Solution from the BDH Klinik Verbund. The ATOSS Time Solution and Resource Allocation will be employed to support 1,400 staff working at three clinics.

Why is workforce management so important for enterprises?

It is interesting to note that it is above all trend setters and market leaders who are focusing on our field of workforce management and committing to investments. One reason surely is and remains the short period over which costs are visibly amortized. With results evident in between three and a maximum of twelve months, it is quite simply worthwhile. There are other parameters, however, that matter to these companies that have a keen eye for the markets of the future.

High on the list are wage costs, which even in the crisis in 2009 climbed 5 percent. More important still, however, is the question of how in the face of fierce competition to find and retain skilled employees? Skilled labor is quite simply in short supply. A report by consultants at Pricewaterhouse-Coopers (PwC), for example, predicts that from 2020 onwards the health sector will see a dramatic increase in staff shortages in both in- and out-patient care which will affect both medical and non-medical staff. In many sectors the lack of qualified personnel is more than just an open secret. Good staff are expensive to employ and expensive to find. Which makes labor efficiency the number one issue for the future. With workforce management, ATOSS offers the right strategic tools: A fact that more and more companies are now recognizing.

How does ATOSS maintain its leading position in the market?

Over many years ATOSS has worked hard at securing a substantial lead over its competitors. While Java EE technology provides the basis, the consistent development and refinement of our products and solutions should not go unnoticed.

Since 2000 we have been conducting regular customer surveys in association with an independent institute. The predominant issue is customer satisfaction. Our scores have improved from year to year, reaching a peak of 1.5 in February 2011! What's more, this customer satisfaction is reflected on our balance sheet. In 2010 ATOSS did not write off any bad debts whatsoever. Non-payments amounted to zero. This might also be described as proof of our outstanding customer relations and sound business processes, as well as of the great strength of our business model.

What are the prospects for the second half?

We are the clear leader in research and development. Not just because 44 percent of our employees are concentrated in this area, but because we spare neither cost – witness our R&D expenditure – nor effort – compare our short development cycles and internal quality controls – in our drive to create the very best for our customers. This expense, however, is not without reward. Andreas F.J. Obereder und Christof Leiber, half of the year.

After the first six months, we start from an excellent position. We have posted record figures with consolidated sales amounting to EUR 15.8 million, while the operating profit (EBIT) came in at EUR 3.9 million – leaving us with an EBIT margin of 25 percent. We therefore remain on the course on which we first set out in 2006, and we aim to make this another record year.

The forecasts for the IT industry are favorable. The latest estimates by the market research company Gartner Group put global sales in 2011 at 3.7 trillion US dollars. That would be an increase of 7 percent, some three percentage points higher than the expected growth in the global economy. In Germany, following on from negative growth in 2009 and an increase of 3.0 percent in 2010, industry association BITKOM

expects to see growth this year of 4.3 percent. The mood is brighter and more positive. At ATOSS the trend is reflected in orders received for software licenses, which in the first half totaled a very satisfactory EUR 3.3 million. And the figure of EUR 3.1 million for orders on hand as of June 30 offers the promise of continuing successful development in the second

Board of Management, ATOSS Software AG

Yours truly,

Andreas F.J. Obereder Christof Leiber

Chief Executive Officer Member of the Board of Management

INVESTOR RELATIONS

INVESTOR RELATIONS 9

ATOSS share price remains highly stable

Once again in 2011, German stock markets are continually affected and occasionally put under pressure by fresh reports focusing on the debt levels of individual Eurozone countries as well as the USA. The ATOSS stock, however, has not fallen prey to this nervousness. In the short term – from a low in March of EUR 15.20 – including the dividend, the stock has recorded a gain of 8 percent in the first half-year. Over the period from the start of 2010 through to mid 2011, the share price has put on 39 percent. Taking into account the dividends paid during this period totaling EUR 1.10 (2010: EUR 0.50/ 2011: EUR 0.60) the gain amounts to 48 percent. Whereas in the same period the comparative DAXsubsector Software Performance Index rose by 33 percent.

The movement in the long term is clearer still. Since ATOSS began its continuing record development in business in 2006, the company's stock has increased in value by 159 percent in addition to the regularly increasing dividends paid to shareholders. The comparative index rose by 13 percent over the same period.

Analysts see continuing strong potential with a target share price of EUR 22

In response to the publication of the figures for the first half of 2011, the analysts at Warburg Research stressed in a note dated July 25 that with its second quarter performance, ATOSS had seamlessly continued the strong growth seen in recent years. They also pointed to our continuing achievements in acquiring new customers, and to the fact that ATOSS was recording further strategic successes through its partnership with an SAP system specialist. As they also pointed out, another partner has been identified who will market the solutions developed by ATOSS internationally (in Europe).

Warburg sees the possibility that guidance may once again be increased following the third quarter. Having calculated a price to earnings ratio of around 8 for the coming year, after adjusting for liquid assets, the analysts continued to rate our stock as a buy with an upside target of EUR 22.

ATOSS as a conservative stock is profiting from stock market uncertainties

Particularly at a time when uncertainty prevails on the capital markets, stocks such as ATOSS attract increasing investor attention. The positive long-term outlook for the stock based on the stability of our business model and of course the development in our business in past years is appreciated by investors. The share price is further underpinned by our high liquidity and an inviting dividend yield. For institutional investors, too, these are decisive attractions in a harsh stock market environment. We are delighted that ATOSS is arousing the interest of a steadily growing audience, not least because consistent support from institutional investors also helps to stabilize the price of ATOSS stock. Our open and transparent communications policy is another contributing factor.

Key figures per share – the facts speak for ATOSS

Earnings per share again developed positively, rising by 14 percent relative to the year before to stand at EUR 0.68. Cash flow per share as of June 30, 2011 stood at EUR 0.99, with liquidity per share at EUR 5.63. The dynamic development in earnings continues – the facts speak for ATOSS.

Dividend paid to shareholders

The dividend of EUR 0.60 per share approved unanimously at the AGM on May 3, totaling around EUR 2.4 million, was paid to shareholders on May 4. Since our dividend policy was first adopted in 2003, around half of the earnings per share have been distributed each year. In this matter the management attaches great importance to dependability, transparency and consistency. The compound effect of reinvesting the dividend is another argument in favor of an investment.

GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. Business and conditions: Buoyant mood continues in the high-tech sector

The upturn continues in the German economy. According to the latest ifo Institute forecast, the upward trend is expected to continue, albeit at a slower pace. ifo intimates that the strong momentum that has been in evidence since early 2010 is unlikely to be fully maintained in the second half of 2011. However, the positive underlying economic trend remains unaltered. This position is further bolstered by attractive borrowing conditions, rising employment and robust demand from abroad. Against this background the ifo Institute expects to see a full-year rise in gross domestic product of 3.3 percent in 2011.

The Deutsche Bundesbank, too, in its half-yearly forecast sees a strong possibility of an "extended period of expansion" in the German economy, with the 3.6 percent growth recorded last year followed up by a 3.1 percent increase in 2011. Among the particular factors underpinning this positive mood are the rise in consumer demand and the strong development in the labor market.

The mood remains buoyant in the high-tech sector. The current forecast by the European Information Technology Observatory (EITO) indicates that the global IT market will grow by 4.3 percent in the current year to some EUR 963.4 billion. Growth in the European Union is estimated at 2.9 percent. Market research experts at the Gartner Group expect to see growth of up to 7 percent in the global IT industry this year, some three percentage points ahead of the expected increase in the global economy as a whole. In Germany, meanwhile, trade association BITKOM is predicting growth of 4.3 percent, significantly above the EU average.

BITKOM's latest economic survey reveals that 74 percent of high-tech businesses are expecting an increase in sales in 2011. 66 percent of companies surveyed reported higher sales in the second quarter relative to the same period last year. However the shortage of skilled staff is identified as a problem, to the extent that for 59 percent of companies surveyed, a lack of highly qualified specialists is seen as the biggest obstacle to growth.

With growth in the economy as a whole set to slow in 2011, and with an increase of 4.3 percent forecast for the IT sector in Germany, in the first half of the year ATOSS remained on course with sales growth of 10 percent.

Earnings situation: ATOSS growth far outpaces the market

In the first six months of financial year 2011 ATOSS recorded sales totaling EUR 15.8 million (previous year: EUR 14.3 million), far outstripping last year's record performance. Sales of software rose by 5 percent from EUR 8.8 million to EUR 9.3 million. Software maintenance, too, continued to develop positively with turnover also increasing by 8 percent from EUR 5.5 million to EUR 6.0 million.

In the consulting area, ATOSS recorded growth of 14 percent in the first six month of 2011, with revenues rising from EUR 3.8 million last year to EUR 4.3 million. This even exceeded the very strong performance recorded in 2009 when sales revenues came in at EUR 4.2 million.

The operating profit (EBIT) at EUR 3.9 million developed strongly, increasing by 13 percent over the previous year's figure of EUR 3.4 million.

Net income to June 30, 2011 came in at EUR 2.7 million, representing growth of 14 percent relative to the EUR 2.4 million recorded in the same period last year. Earnings per share accordingly rose from EUR 0.60 to EUR 0.68.

Orders on hand for software licenses as of June 30, 2011 increased slightly to EUR 3.1 million (previous year: EUR 3.0 million), providing an excellent starting point for the second half-year.

2. Net assets and financial position

In the first six months, cash flow from operations was substantially higher at EUR 3.9 million (previous year: EUR 2.7 million). Cash and equivalents slipped from EUR 17.8 million to EUR 15.8 million. At the same time, however, in the first half of 2011 ATOSS made investments in other current and non-current financial assets (equities, gold) totaling EUR 6.2 million (previous year: EUR 0) and paid a dividend of EUR 0.60 (previous year: EUR 0.50) per share.

Liquidity per share on June 30, 2011 including these other current and non-current financial assets accordingly stood at EUR 5.63 (previous year: EUR 4.49).

In addition to net income of EUR 2.7 million, the EUR 3.9 million in cash flow was also boosted by an increase in deferred revenues of EUR 1.9 million. On the other hand, cash flow was correspondingly reduced by a reduction of EUR 0.5 million in trade accounts payable.

As a result of the gratifying development in business, in addition to increasing its balance sheet total by some 6 percent, ATOSS also recorded an equity ratio of 61 percent (previous year: 60 percent). The company thus remains extremely well capitalized, with solvency assured at all times.

3. Product development

A high level of expenditure on research & development remains an important component of the ATOSS growth strategy with the goal of further extending the company's strong position as a technological leader in workforce management. Research and development costs rose by 13 percent in the first six months to stand at EUR 3.2 million (previous year: EUR 2.9 million). R&D costs as a proportion of overall sales amounted to 21 percent (previous year: 20 percent).

The company continues to refrain from capitalizing the expense of developing new products. All expenditure for this purpose is recognized in the income statement in the period in which it is incurred.

4. Employees

Over the past six months the number of employees has risen from 242 to 249. On June 30, 2011 ATOSS employed 110 software developers (previous year: 105), with a further 69 staff employed in consulting (previous year: 70), 34 in sales and marketing (previous year: 31) and 36 in administration (previous year: 36).

Personnel costs for the first six months of the current financial year amounted to EUR 7.5 million (previous year: EUR 7.1 million).

5. Risks associated with future development

There has been no fundamental change in the company's risk structure relative to the description contained in the consolidated financial statements to December 31, 2010. The investment strategy announced in the annual report to December 31, 2010 was consistently implemented and refined during the first half of 2011. The company's liquid funds are invested wholly or partly in other financial assets (gold, equities) as well as in fixed-term and other bank deposits. ATOSS continues to counter financial risk through regular monitoring of the financial market as well as weekly reports to the Management Board and a monthly report to the Supervisory Board on the development in financial investments.

As in the past, the company's investment policy continues to focus on preserving the value of freely available resources.

6. Events after the reporting period

By a resolution adopted by the Supervisory Board on July 4, 2011, the contract with Management Board member Christof Leiber has been extended by a further five years from April 1, 2012 until March 31, 2017.

In accordance with a resolution adopted on July 22, 2011, the Supervisory Board has authorized the Management Board to purchase additional physical gold in the amount of up to EUR 12.0 million. In total the Management Board is now authorized to purchase physical gold at a cost of up to EUR 17.0 million. On the basis of the resolution adopted on July 22, 2011 the company has acquired physical gold in the amount of EUR 9.5 million. In total, the company has thus far purchased physical gold in the amount of EUR 13.8 million.

There have been no further reportable events of particular significance since June 30, 2011.

7. Outlook

All of the company's essential performance figures continued to develop positively in the first six months of 2011. The Management Board therefore stands by its forecast for moderate sales growth in 2011 with an EBIT margin securely greater than 20 percent.
