balance/annual report

Berlin, Germany. 27 March 2007 (euro adhoc) - ---------------------

- Revenue increases by 1.1% TO E 96.6 million in 2006 - Pre-tax
loss of E -16.4 Mio. (2005: E -5.1 Mio.) and net loss of E -18.4
Mio. (2005: E 1.6 Mio. incl. E 6.1 Mio. from disposal of business
unit) due to exceptional expenses (around E 12 million in FY 2006) as
anticipated clearly negative - Cost reduction and growth in licenses
in 2nd half-year: operating result (net of extraordinary items)
increased to E -3.6 million in FY 2006 (compared to prior year at
E -4.2 million)

Beta Systems Software AG (BSS, ISIN DE0005224406) recorded
year-on-year revenue growth of E 1.0 million, or 1.1%, in fiscal
2006. Its annual result is E -18.4 million (previous year: E 1.6
million ) and is characterized by extraordinary items resulting from
the sale of Kleindienst Scanner GmbH, a mid-year risk reevaluation,
and a one-time impact, throughout the enterprise, due to the
company's reorientation in the ECM and IdM segments. The company has
undertaken organizational resizing measures and is oriented towards
marketing, sales, and service. It has also completed a refocusing of
activities on product range, customers, industries, and regions. The
effect of these measures is that the second half-year has already
shown a reduction of the operating cost basis (fixed costs p.a.) of
some 8%. The company's operating result, net of extraordinary items,
is E 0.6 million higher than in the prior year.

Having accounted for these non-recurring effects in the relevant
separate financial statements prepared in accordance with the German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch - HGB), the parent company of the
Group, Beta Systems Software AG, recorded no net retained earnings
("Bilanzgewinn", also referred to as unappropriated surplus) in
fiscal 2006. As a result, there will be no dividend payment for the
2006 fiscal year. However, both the Management Board and the
Supervisory Board remain committed to a dividend policy that is
geared to the future.

Outlook for Financial Year 2007 Due to the measures taken in the
sales area, which resulted from the company refocusing its corporate
strategy, the Board expects a slight increase in revenues for the
financial year 2007. This will be accompanied by a significant
increase in software license and service revenues as well as a
reduction in the proportion of hardware in the overall revenues.
Because of the optimized cost structure, management currently expects
the company to become and stay profitable during the course of the
year with a single-figure EBIT margin for the financial year 2007.

Comments by the Management Board Kamyar Niroumand, CEO of Beta
Systems Software AG, issued the following statement in response to
the company's annual results: " Behind us lies an eventful year and
one that has brought us many changes. The first six months of the
fiscal year 2006 were dominated by the final implementation of our
cost reduction and consolidation measures. From July onwards we made
significant progress, particularly at an operational level and
concluded a number of major contracts with key financial customers
such as Allianz, Postbank, or UniCredit Group. We succeeded in
reversing the downward trend in our licensing business - our main
engine for growth -, ending the year with a modest gain of
approximately 1% for the year.

Kamyar Niroumand added, "Our target now is to continue this positive
trend and to strengthen our maintenance-and service business by
concluding new contracts in the licensing- and solutions areas,
particularly in the IdM and ECM business segments. We have laid the
foundation for a successful turnaround and have created favorable
conditions for growth. The goal which we have set ourselves is for
all three Lines of Business to operate profitably by 2008."
