Message from CEO Bertrand Sciard
 
2008 started strongly for Aldata with a solid profitable performance
in Q1 without the help of any large contract signings. The
combination of our lower cost base and focus on profitable services
revenues is now providing a stable and consistent platform for the
planned growth of the business.
 
Alongside that stable platform our sales pipeline is developing well
with both existing and new customers planning to invest more in our
solutions and services. Our strategy of focusing on both global
retailers and more specialist sectors is gaining traction in the
market and providing new business opportunities for us on both sides
of the Atlantic.
 
We have also, following the review period, made some senior
management changes to focus on three critical areas for our growth.
These are; mergers and acquisitions, regional business development,
and global financial management and governance. As part of these
changes Aïssa Azzouzi, an experienced international software and
services CFO, has joined as our new Chief Financial Officer. Thomas
Hoyer will now focus his entire attention on our mergers and
acquisitions activities, an area where he has specific skills.
 
During Q1 we successfully commenced the first stage of our planned
off-shoring strategy and during Q2 these facilities will come online
to supplement our existing development and services resources. This
strategy will add strength to our quality assurance teams, expand
customer development capabilities, and enable us to maintain our high
standards of service efficiently and flexibly as we scale up our
operations to serve more customers.

Outlook for 2008
 
After a very challenging 2007 with external factors, such as the

Company views the year ahead positively. Aldata today enjoys strong
support from its customers, employees and shareholders. Positive
transformation developments during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the
first quarter of 2008 are beginning to demonstrate that the Company
can execute on it's declared strategy of planned profitable growth.

In addition to organically growing the business, the Company is
looking to make targeted acquisitions in the retail software sector
