Message from Bertrand Sciard, President and CEO

The nervous economic climate experienced in Q1 2009 continued in Q2
as predicted in our Q1 outlook and the operating environment still
remains challenging. The actions taken to reduce our costs in France
proved well timed. Cautious customer decisions together with the
impact of the elongated legal process of the restructuring in France
resulted in a small loss on underlying operations for the quarter.
The green shoots of economic recovery are appearing and our pipeline
promises increased activity in the months ahead as our investments in
G.O.L.D. 5.08, Apollo, and Loyalty are beginning to bear fruit as
planned.

We must however take a very prudent approach to costs and liabilities
in the present market. We have therefore taken in Q2 the full costs
of the previously announced restructuring in France, the resolution
of a long term legal liability with Groupe GrandVision, a much
tougher line on receivables from customers in emerging markets, and a
more risk averse approach to some long standing customer projects.
These produce a combined one off negative charge of EUR 5.4 million
resulting in an EBIT of EUR -6.0 million for the quarter.

New customer contracts in Q2 came from all major geographies and
included; Russian toy retailer Mir Detstva, German restaurant chain
Cucina, French postal service operator Neolog, Swiss chemical giant
Syngenta. The benefits of cross selling the newly acquired Apollo
products into our existing G.O.L.D. customers were realized with
deals such as those with Delhaize Belgium, one of Europe's largest
retail groups.

Our Loyalty products continue to gain customers and market
recognition. They scored highest in a comprehensive study of the
world's major suppliers by the leading US industry analyst group.
Aldata Loyalty was the closest to delivering all of capabilities
desired by customers scoring positive in 29 out of the 30
requirements.

The latest release of our flagship G.O.L.D. product line, Version
5.08, brought plaudits from customers based on the advances made in
ease of implementation, quality, and reliability. This follows an
intensive period of investment, new practices, and innovative use of
offshore resources by our development and QA teams. This important
work enables us to serve our customers better today and win more
business as the market regains its confidence.

Financial impact of none recurring items

As previously reported, and following a long process as defined by
French legislation and involving consultation with the French Works
Council, the process investigating different options for
restructuring the French subsidiary's operations were concluded in
May 2009. The outcome of this investigation resulted in 35 employees
leaving Aldata in Q2. The resulting lower fixed costs are more
appropriate to servicing present and anticipated market requirements.

As a reaction to the challenging economic climate, Aldata chose to
adopt a more risk adverse view of some of its ongoing customer
relations which focused on reviewing ongoing projects in countries
that have been severely impacted by the current business environment

In Q2 Aldata was able to resolve to the satisfaction of both parties
a long term legal liability with Groupe GrandVision.

The total impact of the above actions represents non-recurring costs
of EUR 5.4 million in Q2.


Research and Development

In the first half of the year Aldata's research and development costs
were EUR 5.0 million (EUR 4.1 million) and made up 15% (11%) of net
sales. A total of EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.5 million) of development
costs were capitalized during the period. EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.3
million) of capitalized development costs were amortized.

At the end of the review period 139 (158) Aldata employees and 57 (0)
contracted offshore resources were involved in R&D activities. These
employees represent 26% (29%) of the Group's total personnel.
Aldata's R&D centres are located in Paris, France and in Vantaa,
Finland.


Personnel

Aldata Group employed 531 (543) persons at the end of June 2009, and
on average had 554 (543) employees during the period.

The highest price of the Aldata Solution Oyj share during January -
June 2009 was EUR 0.62 and the lowest price EUR 0.30. The average

the share capital at the end of June 2009. A total of 33.5% of Aldata

the period.


Events after the review period

On 14th July 2009 Aldata announced that the Company has appointed
Group Controller Graham Howell as the Company's new Chief Financial
Officer and as a member of the Executive Management Team.

On 21st July 2009 Aldata Solution S.A.S. and Groupe GrandVision
announced that relations between the two companies have been fully
restored following a contractual dispute that originated in 2002.


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 has affected and will
affect Aldata's operations and any further worsening of the economic
situation 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 2009 operating environment to remain challenging.
Whilst the green shoots of economic recovery are appearing and our
pipeline promises increased activity, it remains difficult to assess
the impact this will have on our Q3 and Q4 results.

Based on the current backlog, sales and services activity and
pipeline, the Company expects net sales in 2009 to be flat or
slightly down on 2008 levels and a profitable operative result
(EBIT), excluding none recurring costs for the full-year.
