Bertrand Sciard, President and CEO

The first quarter of 2010 started well for Aldata. Revenues, profit, and
business pipeline increased year on year, and many new deals were signed across
all territories and product lines. We still view the market with caution
following the challenges in 2009 but our customers are investing steadily in our
solutions.

The Apollo business unit performed particularly well in Q1 demonstrating the
high level of integration achieved since acquisition at the end of 2008. Notable
new business wins in the USA included, retailer Northgate Markets, nutritional
products supplier Natrol, and services provider Acosta. In Europe, Baltic ferry
operator Tallink, French yoghurt maker Yoplait, and confectionery producer CFP
Brands, (famous for Fisherman's Friends and Chupa Chubs candy), all chose Aldata
Apollo to manage their retail space.

New customers for our Digital Loyalty solutions included Motonet, a Finnish
automotive aftermarket retailer, Carlson department stores, and Halonen fashion
stores, adding to what is now a well established Nordic base.

Existing Aldata customers expanded their investment in our Supply Chain and
Retail Operations solutions in Finland, Russia and France with Auchan investing
for its Simply Market chain. Totally new supply chain customers included Italy's
second largest retailer, a major supermarket chain in Slovakia, and Telemarket,
France's leading online grocery retailer. Aldata also closed a large software
contract for its supply chain products with Symphony Services, a US based global
provider of software engineering services.

The successful implementation at CHU Strasbourg (hospital distribution center)
led to the signing of a contract with CHU Nantes, these are two of over fifty
CHU's in France. The interest in our Voice Directed solutions continues to grow
and we expanded our team in the US to meet this demand.

Aldata's Channel partners contributed an increasing percentage of sales this
quarter across mainly the Supply Chain and Apollo business units, and this is an
area where Aldata is looking to further improve its performance in the future.

The second Annual Retail CIO Survey, which Aldata and IBM sponsor, was released
at the National Retail Forum in New York in January. Over one hundred retail
CIO's were interviewed. The results showed a planned increase in retail IT
spending in 2010 over 2009 with highest investment areas highlighted as the
optimization of replenishment, assortments and promotions. The full report is
available from the Aldata website.

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 license 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 reported 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 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 Corporate
Management Team and the Management Council.

With the increased importance of the US market to Aldata, the group will become
more exposed to currency risk as the movement between the Euro and the US dollar
has been quite significant during the last 12 months. Aldata chooses not to
hedge against these movements as it believes there is a natural hedge built into
the business due to the US based cost structure that it carries. 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 Euro to US dollar exchange rate
movement.

Goodwill was tested during the last quarter of 2009 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 country's units will need to
be impaired. No new impairment tests have been completed at the end of Q1 2010
as most businesses and territories were either on or close to their projected
future cash flows.
