Message from Bertrand Sciard, President and CEO

Market conditions remained subdued in Q3 2009. However continuing
tight control of operational costs together with successful new
customer contract wins provided a positive result for the quarter.

We continue to view the economic situation with caution and are
working closely with our present and future customers to fully
understand and forecast their future demand and plan our business
accordingly.

Notable events in Q3 included positive annual customer conferences in
Europe and America, and important competitive wins at TransGourmet, a
major French food distributor, and Delhaize Belgium.

Delhaize is one of the largest food retailers in the world with 2008
revenues of EUR 19.0 billion, and approximately 141,000 employees.
Aldata was selected over all major software providers for the
management of their central merchandising and supply chain operations
across all of their European operations.

In addition, all of Aldata's businesses achieved new customer
signings in what is traditionally a quiet quarter. These included
Poundstretcher, a discount chain in the UK, Hugo Boss stores in
Finland, and Retail Brokers in the USA.

Our annual customer conferences, in Paris and Phoenix, attracted over
300 attendees who participated in an interactive exchange of
retailing and logistics best practices. The Aldata team shared our
Business and Product plans, both were well received by the audiences.

The conferences also included presentations from Casino, Nash Finch
and other customers, plus industry insights from retail specialists
at McKinseys, GS1, Logica, and IBM. Both conferences stimulated
serious interest in the Apollo and Loyalty product lines which were
presented and demonstrated alongside the G.O.L.D. product line.

The actions taken earlier in the year in response to the downturn in
the general economic situation were formally completed in Q3. All of
the expenses incurred in those actions were taken in Q2. Our current
resource levels and lower cost base allow us to continue to service
our existing customers efficiently and be able to take advantage of
any upturn in the economy as and when that occurs.

Chazot to the position of Senior Vice President Human Resources for
the company effective 16th November 2009.


Risks and uncertainty factors

Risks and uncertainty factors associated with Aldata's business are
mainly related to general economic development and more specifically
on the retail software market. The recession affected Aldata's
operations during the last 12 months and whilst there are continuing
signs of a recovery, if the anticipated recovery doesn't happen or
there is a worsening of the economic situation, this may result in
delays to both ongoing or new large projects and investment
decisions.

Business risk management is a key target of the operational
management. Through it, the Company aims to ensure that the key risks
to which business operations are exposed are identified and monitored
for preventative action. Business risks are monitored within the
company by the President and CEO, the Management Team and the
business unit managers.


Outlook

Aldata expects the operating environment for the remainder of 2009
and the start of 2010 to stay challenging. Whilst there are more
signs of economic recovery appearing and we have been able to close
some larger projects and also our pipeline promises increased
activity, it is still difficult to assess the impact that these will
have on our Q4 results, as the customers' decision making process
remains long and difficult to predict.

Based on the current backlog, sales, services activity and pipeline,
the Company expects net sales in 2009 to be slightly down on 2008
levels and a profitable operative result (EBIT), excluding
non-recurring costs for the full-year.
