     streamlining due to the new corporate structure had an effect on

Revenue growth underlines successful restructuring
Kamyar Niroumand, Chairman of the Board of Beta Systems Software
AG, stated: "Our quarterly results show that we have already achieved
the first successes in the first quarter and that we are on the right
path in our operational development. Revenue and results for the
first quarter 2006 are above the previous year's level and have even
slightly exceeded our expectations. We see this as a positive signal
that our new direction and corporate structure have delivered the
correct formation for future, profitable growth. After the first few
weeks I am convinced that the market-related strategies of the
individual business areas of IdM, ECM and DCI still require
fine-tuning in relation to their portfolio optimisation, sector focus
and regional orientation. My objective is therefore to orient our
company still further towards the needs of our numerous large-account
customers and to concentrate our sales, marketing development
activities on the requirements of these customers.
Mr Niroumand added: "At the same time we will quickly conclude the
implementation of the optimisation opportunities identified at the
beginning of the year and we will carry out the already announced
cost adjustments so that our company can switch during the course of
the year from restructuring mode to growth mode."
