cost structure given the business environment in which we operate.


Bertrand Sciard, President and CEO

The retail and distribution markets in 2010 remained challenging, along with
most other business sectors. Consumer spending was restrained due to individual
concerns over employment and the economic climate, and our customers needed to
respond quickly and positively to protect their sales volumes and profit
margins.

Aldata helped them with that response by delivering innovation in both revenue
generation and cost reduction. This included promotional and customer
development activities to maintain and grow sales, plus improved efficiency in
supply chain, inventory management, and store operations to reduce costs

Our growth in revenues and return to profitability after the downturn in 2009 is
a direct consequence of this innovative response, as is our major new business
win in the USA with Dollar General, one of America's largest retailers.

We also made a number of strategic investments in our business in 2010. These
investments expand the breadth of the solutions that we can offer to existing
customers and increase our ability to enter new sectors of the retail and
distribution market.

The acquisition of Cosmic Solutions, a specialist in assortment management,
perfectly complements our Apollo space management solutions and their sales
channels. The combination helps our customers optimize the profitable mix of
their products and shelf display to meet the exact customer demand in each
retail outlet.

Our strategic agreement with Microsoft Corporation is an investment in a new
range of products for mid-size and specialty retailers that includes our unique
digital customer management. These products provide a modern technology choice
for our existing mid-size customers and meet the growing global demand to phase
out ageing technology in this sector of the market.

We also expanded our investment in Mobility capability solutions with new sales
personnel and marketing activities within the USA. Innovative campaigns in the
latter stages of 2010 generated a substantial pipeline for 2011 business in this
high growth sub sector.

We remain very cautious of the pace of global economic recovery and are focused
on conservative recognition of revenues, timely cash collection, and prudent
internal cost management to mitigate the impact of any further downturns.

It's clear that a number of the investments made during 2010 have increased
Aldata's operating costs and so negatively impacted Aldata's 2010 operating
results and cash flow. These investment decisions were made after careful
consideration by the board of directors and the management on the impact to
2010 operating results, the potential gains for 2010, and the benefit to the
business in future years.

We believe that our strategic investments in 2010 will enable Aldata to improve
its performance in the present recessionary environment and provide a solid
foundation for the future development and profitability of our company.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Near term risks and uncertainties

Near term risks and uncertainties are considered by Aldata as those that may
materialize in the next two quarters.

Aldata accounts for its revenue in accordance with IFRS guidelines, meaning
license revenue is typically booked on contract signature whereas services and
maintenance revenue is booked over the life of the project. This means that
software licenses revenue is more risky and harder to forecast. The management
team complete regular reviews and assessments of the software pipeline to
mitigate this risk, although it is not possible to remove the risk completely.

The economic environment has increased the number of companies who face
financial problems and could be seen as a factor in the increased time taken to
settle invoices.  This might increase Aldata's risk to be able to collect
payment for its services provided. Aldata looks to mitigate this risk by using
business standard credit assessment and credit control policies to ensure any
potential risks are highlighted at an early stage and any necessary action to
reduce the risk is taken.

A large proportion of Aldata's services revenue is done on a time and materials
basis. If there was a weakening in demand, as we saw at the start of 2009, this
would lead to lower utilization and pressure on margins if Aldata was unable to
adjust its cost base fast enough. However, Aldata foresees that the risks of
further large-scale deterioration of the IT market situation have declined from
2009.

In other respects, no significant changes have taken place in Aldata's short-
term risks and uncertainties during the financial period.


Long term risks and uncertainties

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 deterioration of the economic situation,
this may result in delays to both ongoing or new large projects and investment
decisions. Aldata feels that its flexible business model will enable it to react
quickly to both any expected upturns or downturns in the future, and the
management has already exhibited its willingness to react by the decisions made
in Q2 2009.

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 Corporate
Management Team and the Management Council.

The company's risk level is regularly observed by the Corporate Management Team
through a weekly phone conference call, through formal written reporting by the
Management Council e twice a month and through regular in person meetings of the
Corporate Management Team and the Management Council during the year. In
addition to this, risks are charted when deemed necessary and specific ad hoc
teams will be built to address any clearly identified potential risks.

With the increased importance of the US market to Aldata, the group will become
more exposed to currency risk resulting from  the movement between the Euro and
the US dollar. Aldata is currently exposed to two types of exchange rate risk;
one impacting its operating result based on the valuation of its US based
revenues and costs; and one impacting its financial result, due to exchange
gains or losses on Euro denominated loans and intercompany balances owed to or
from Aldata's US subsidiaries. Aldata currently chooses not to hedge against
either of these risks. It believes there is a natural hedge built into the
operating result risk due to the US based cost structure that it carries, which
materially offsets its US based revenues. This means that whilst the risk to
Aldata's operating profit is reduced to a level that Aldata feels is acceptable,
there is a risk to the level of revenue that Aldata reports that is directly
affected by the exchange rate. The movement in the exchange rate during 2010
caused a large gain in financial items in Q2 and a large loss in financial items
in Q3, and as a result Aldata is currently reviewing its strategy around whether
to hedge against these intercompany loans as a way to mitigate the risk in the
future.

Goodwill has been tested during the last quarter of 2010 and in accordance with
the results of testing for impairment, no depreciation of goodwill was made. The
impairment testing is based on projected future cash flows and if the respective
country's projected cash flows do not occur as planned in the medium term, it is
possible that the goodwill allocated to one of the countries unit will need to
be impaired.

Aldata's growth strategy includes expansion via making suitable company
purchases. If the current business environment remains challenging, the
opportunity to fulfil this strategy may decrease in case no suitable purchase
targets are found or the business profits due to already materialized company
purchases don't fulfil the expectations. Aldata's inability to fulfil it desire
to make company purchases may have a negative impact on Aldata's business and
its financial status and outcome may weaken.
