Stuttgart, February 12, 2009 - Heiler Software AG, one of the leading providers
of electronic product information solutions and catalogue management systems
increased consolidated sales revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year
2008/09 (10/01/2008 - 12/31/2008) from 2.90 million Euro to 3.25 million Euro
(+12%) and thus - in terms of sales revenues - realized the strongest first
quarter of its corporate history.

Sales growth was mainly driven by the software license business which increased
from 0.76 million Euro to 1.05 million Euro by 38% when compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year. Hosting and so-called Application
Service Providing (ASP)-revenues improved from 0.26 million Euro to 0.30 million
Euro (+15%) and maintenance revenues improved from 0.44 million Euro to 0.54
million Euro (+23%). Contrary, consulting revenues decreased from 1.38 million
Euro to 1.31 million Euro (-5%) when compared to the prior year.

Sales growth led to an increase in gross profits from 1.72 million Euro to 1.85
million Euro when compared to the prior year. Earnings before interest and taxes
(EBIT) improved from -0.09 million Euro to 0.07 million Euro when compared to
the prior year. Earnings before taxes increased from 0.07 million Euro to 0.17
million Euro and net income increased from 0.07 million Euro to 0.18 million
Euro. Accordingly, earnings per share increased from 0.01 Euro to 0.02 Euro.

Due to the unexpected significant worsening of the economic environment, some
leading business research institutes and inter-trade organizations during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008/09 drastically revised their economic
forecasts for 2009 and now expect the worst recession for USA, Europe and
Germany since the end of the Second World War. Based on the dramatically
worsening worldwide economic outlook and related increasing insecurity in
planning, Management adjusts its prognosis for the current fiscal year 2008/09
and now expects - instead of a low double-digit growth rate and an increase in
EBIT-margin - an one-digit sales growth above the software market and a positive
result.
