annual report/Provisional figures for fiscal 2009

25.02.2010

Möglingen, February 25, 2010 - In fiscal 2009, USU Software AG (ISIN
DE000A0BVU28) fully attained the targets announced by the company
despite the global recession. Whilst the overall software and IT
services market showed significant declines in market volume both in
Germany and throughout Europe, according to its provisional figures,
the company increased its Group-wide sales slightly by 0.2%
year-on-year to EUR 34.05 million (2008: EUR 33.98 million). The
company enjoyed tangible success in its international business, which
improved by 24.4% year-on-year to EUR 2.85 million in 2009 (2008: EUR
2.29 million).

At EUR 2.55 million (2008: EUR 2.29 million), EBITDA was up 15.8% on
the comparative figure for the previous year. As expected, USU
Software AG thus generated an increase in operating earnings well in
excess of sales growth despite stepping up its sales abroad and with
partners as part of its internationalization strategy and making
targeted investments in the ongoing development of Group products.
The main reason for this was the successful development of
higher-margin product business, combined with stable cost development
throughout the Group.

According to provisional calculations, the company increased its net
profit for the year by 19.5% to EUR 1.55 million (2008: EUR 1.29
million). Accordingly, USU Software AG's earnings per share improved
to EUR 0.15 in 2009 (2008: EUR 0.13). On the basis of its provisional
figures, the Management Board of USU Software AG is planning, subject
to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to propose a dividend per
entitled share, as in the previous year, of EUR 0.15 (2008: EUR
0.15) to the ordinary Annual General Meeting of the Company on July
15, 2010, and thereby to allow the company´s shareholders to share in
the Company's success as previously announced.

As a result of the positive business developments, the USU Group
significantly increased its cash flow from operating activities
year-on-year to EUR 4.04 million (2008: EUR 1.81 million).
Accordingly, the Group liquidity of USU in the form of cash and cash
equivalents and securities rose to EUR 10.89 million as at the end of
fiscal 2009 (2008: EUR 9.54 million). With this liquidity situation,
an improved equity ratio at 85.7% (2008: 84.8%) and no liabilities to
banks, USU Software AG´s financing situation is still extremely
solid, enabling targeted investments and potential company
acquisitions now and in the future.

For the current fiscal year, assuming a sustained economic recovery,
the Management Board of USU Software AG expects sales growth for the
Group as a whole to exceed the average rates of the German and
European IT markets. The increase in EBITDA is again likely to
outstrip sales growth. At the same time, the company will invest
specifically in further increasing the internationalism of the USU
Group and in key product innovations in order to increase sales and
earnings further in the medium to long term. On the basis of this
forecast, the Board of Management plans to continue its
pro-shareholder dividend policy of recent years in 2010 and in
future.

The Management Board of USU Software AG will publish the final
audited financial figures for fiscal 2009 on March 25, 2010.
