Roy J Simrell, President and CEO
Despite the obviously disappointing results for Q4 2011, I am very excited about
the prospect of leading Aldata into a bright and successful future. After 75
days on the job I now have a good idea of the strengths and weaknesses,
opportunities and threats associated with Aldata and I am working closely with
the Board and my executive team to decide on the best strategy to take Aldata
forward.
In relation to the Q4 results, Aldata incurred a large amount of costs that do
not represent the underlying business performance in Q4. Symphony Technology
Group's public tender offer and subsequent increase in share ownership to 90.1%
triggered a change in control clause which has resulted in additional costs of
EUR 1.6 million in Q4. Aldata announced on 18 November 2011 as a stock exchange
release having appointed me as the President and CEO of the Company. This
resulted in a cost of EUR 1.6 million for the compensation for loss of office
due to the previous CEO. At the same time I have insisted on a thorough and
detailed review of all ongoing projects and this has resulted in approximately
EUR 1.2 million of additional specific provisions being made. Finally Aldata has
made two provisions for empty space in its Boston and Paris offices which have
resulted in EUR 0.9 million of costs being incurred in Q4.
The unusually high amount of non-recurring costs during the same quarter when
revenue was negatively impacted by delays in closing some transactions that were
previously forecast to close, had the combined effect of making the Q4 operating
profit result significantly lower than previously expected.
Our order backlog increased to EUR 27.4 million from EUR 26.1 million at the end
of Q3, which shows we are still experiencing good demand for our offerings.
Company has incurred a net cost of EUR 0.6 million of tax charges, interest
costs and unrealized foreign exchange gains in Q4, all of which combined
generate a reduced net profit for Q4 2011.
Although Q4 generated a cash outflow from operating activities of EUR -0.4
million, the cumulative position for the full year 2011 is a cash inflow of EUR
1.7 million, which compares favorably to a net cash outflow from operations of
EUR -0.1 million for the full year 2010.
Also, as noted in a stock exchange release of 28 October 2011, the change in
control triggered a breach in our banking covenant which requires the existing
credit facility to be repaid by the end of March 2012. While all amounts due so
far have been paid, having to make these payments whilst not having been able to
generate a new injection of capital during this same time, has had a negative
effect on Aldata's liquidity position and the company is currently
undercapitalized. The company has actively been searching for a new lender to
replace the existing credit facility, but have thus far been unable to secure a
new bank loan. While conversations with potential lenders continue, it is now
clear that such discussions will be unsuccessful without the specific support of
Symphony Technology Group (Symphony). Symphony Technology Group is committed to
providing this support and is working closely with Aldata to make the necessary
arrangements to enable the repayment of the existing facility by March 2012 and
to fund the Company's ongoing working capital needs.

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.
Symphony Technology Group's shareholding exceeding 50% triggered a breach in
Aldata's banking covenant that has resulted in Aldata being required to repay
the full amount of its credit facility by the end of March 2012. EUR 3.5 million
has already been repaid and the remaining EUR 6.5 million is due to be repaid by
the end of March 2012.
In addition, Aldata currently has a bank guarantee for EUR 2.0 million short
term loan that is to be repaid by the end of September 2012. However, the bank
has informed Aldata that it will stop providing the Guarantee for this loan at
the end of March 2012. If Aldata is unable to find a replacement guarantor then
it will need to repay the full amount of EUR 2.0 million at the end of March
2012.
The combination of these events, along with Aldata's Q4 2011 financial
performance, has put pressure on Aldata's liquidity position. Aldata's cash flow
is seasonal with a large amount of sales invoices being raised in January for
the annual maintenance and support fees, which are normally paid before the end
of Q1. While these Q1 inflows should provide sufficient cash flow in January and
February 2012, Aldata is currently not adequately capitalized for the remainder
of 2012. The company will require a significant capital infusion by the end of
Q1 2012 to replace the credit facility that has been and will be repaid, in
order to support its ongoing operations.
Aldata is currently in discussions with potential lenders to arrange a new
credit facility. However, there is no certainty whether these discussions will
be successful. If Aldata is unable to put in place a new credit facility by the
end of March, it would not be able to repay the remaining EUR 6.5 million due at
the end of March 2012 to its existing provider and meet its normal business
commitments without the specific support of Symphony Technology Group. Symphony
Technology Group is committed to providing this support and is working closely
with Aldata to make the necessary arrangements to enable the repayment of the
existing facility by March 2012 and to fund the Company's ongoing working
capital needs.
General uncertainties about the macro-economic climate are likely to affect the
retail industry. In periods of uncertainty companies tend to be less willing to
commit to large capital expenditure or start new projects for fear of negatively
impacting operations if the project were to be unsuccessful. Long-term decisions
tend to be subject to closer scrutiny and increased attention given to ROI
calculations and payback justifications. This is likely to delay the decision
making process, and may even cause certain projects to be put on hold for an
indeterminate period. This is largely what we have experienced in 2011 and if
this trend continues in 2012, Aldata may not be able to deliver its expected
full year revenue or operating profit.
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, this would lead to lower utilization
and pressure on margins if Aldata was unable to adjust its cost base fast
enough.
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 2
years, and any recent signs of a recovery have reduced significantly. 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.
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 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. Company 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. Aldata is 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 2011. 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 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 its desire
to make company purchases may have a negative impact on Aldata's business and
its financial status and outcome may weaken.

Outlook
The recent economic turmoil has increased the overall risk for the recovery of
the retail software market and Aldata expects the 2012 market environment to
remain as challenging as the previous years.
However it is expected that the recent changes in ownership and CEO will enable
the company to focus on its core strengths and provide the necessary boost
required to drive the company forward in what is expected to be a very
challenging and difficult to predict year.
Given the current uncertainty in the retail market and the difficulty in
accurately forecasting the market behavior, Aldata expects the full year 2012
net sales to remain at or slightly below the level reported in 2011 and the full
year 2012 EBIT to be at or slightly below the level reported in 2011, excluding
the impact of certain of the one off costs incurred in 2011.
The Board of Directors' dividend proposal
The Board of Directors has decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting, on
