Stuttgart, August 14, 2009 - Heiler Software AG, one of the leading providers of
electronic product information solutions and catalogue management systems
increased consolidated sales revenues in the third quarter of fiscal year
2008/09 (04/01/2009 - 06/30/2009) from 2.98 million Euro to 3.02 million Euro
when compared to the preceding second quarter 2008/09. However, when compared to
the remarkably strong third quarter of the prior year sales revenues decreased
from 3.59 million Euro by 16%. The decrease compared to the prior year was
mainly related to the license- and consulting business. Even though license
revenues increased from 0.55 million Euro to 0.76 million Euro by 38% when
compared to the preceding quarter, but when compared to the license revenues of
1.21 million Euro of the corresponding quarter of the prior year this means a
decrease of 37%. Maintenance revenues increased from 0.49 million Euro to 0.61
million Euro (+24%) and Hosting-/Application Service Providing (ASP)-revenues
increased from 0.26 million Euro to 0.30 million Euro (+15%) when compared to
the corresponding period of the prior year. Consulting revenues decreased from
1.57 million Euro to 1.29 million Euro (-18%).

Cost of goods sold decreased from 1.45 million Euro to 1.28 million Euro mainly
due to lower incurred external consulting services. Operating expenses were
reduced from 1.87 million Euro to 1.75 million Euro. Cost savings led in the
third quarter 2008/09 to a slight positive earnings before interest and taxes
(EBIT) of 0.01 million Euro (prior year: 0.31 million Euro). Earnings before
taxes and net income for the third fiscal quarter 2008/09 both decreased from
0.44 million Euro to 0.09 million Euro and 0.06 million Euro, respectively. The
decrease mainly stems from a lower EBIT as well as from lower interest income
due to the decreasing short-term market interest level.

Liquid funds and shareholders´ equity increased from 14.15 million Euro to 15.07
million Euro and from 19.90 million Euro to 21.35 million Euro, respectively,
when compared to the prior year. Accordingly, equity ratio increased from 87% to
89%.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year consolidated sales revenues
remained with 9.24 million Euro slightly below the corresponding 9.46 million
Euro of the prior year. Based on this as well as on the continuing worsening of
the IT- and software environment, Management adjusts its sales forecast for the
current fiscal year and now expects sales revenues at the level of the prior
year instead of a one-digit growth and still a positive net income.
