UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO BENEFIT FROM A RESUMPTION OF GROWTH IN OUR INDUSTRY We regard the rising trend in license sales on a sequential or year-over-year basis during the first quarter as an indication of building momentum in the recovery. Specifically our increased sales of Virtual Planner and manufacturing solutions represent a clear departure from our experience of the last few quarters. Such sales demonstrate that our larger customers on both the retail and manufacturing sides have begun to re-invest. While challenges certainly remain, and as we persist in strict operational efficiencies to protect our margins, we will also be implementing our long-term strategic plan to maximize the ongoing growth of our industry-leading end-to-end solution.

FIRST QUARTER REVIEW First quarter revenues increased by 6.3% to $16.6 million compared with $15.6 million a year ago. The improvement was due to favorable currency exchange rates (4.6%) and organic growth (1.7%) in the context of relatively stable market conditions. North America accounted for 51.1% of revenues or $8.5 million for 2010, representing a 1.4% increase year-over-year, largely attributable to improving market conditions in the residential sector offset by depressed activities in the commercial sector. Europe accounted for 45.6% of revenues or $7.6 million for 2010, an increase of $0.6 million or 7.9% over last year, essentially from favorable exchange rates. International revenues accounted for $0.6 million or 3.3% compared $0.2 million or 1.5% in 2009. Maintenance and other recurring services continued to perform relatively well supported by last year’s license revenues with an increase of 6.9% to $7.4 million and 10.8% to $7.7 million taking into account the impact of foreign exchanges. First quarter revenues from perpetual license sales increased by 9.9% to $4.6 million and by 15.2% to $4.8 million, including currency fluctuations. Recurring licenses increased by 10.7% to $1.1 million and by 14.3% with exchange rates. Professional services revenues declined by 20.6% to $2.8 million and by 15.3% to $3.0 million with the impact of foreign exchanges in all sectors due to fewer projects underway, including less catalog updates. Operating income was $1.5 million compared with $1.6 million last year. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a $0.4 million recovery of restructuring costs. In addition, unrealized exchange losses related to translation had a negative impact of $0.4 million on the first quarter of 2010. EBITDA of $2.5 million for the quarter was flat when compared to 2009 and matched the highest level attained in the past nine quarters. The Company generated net earnings of $0.5 million for the quarter, or $0.02 per share, compared with $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, a year ago.
