Times are changing. Fast.

74 percent of businesses recognize the need to change the way they do business online. And they’re making significant investments in technology to achieve success. That’s because their consumers are demanding more. More interaction, more communication, more quickly. Rich media, personalization, and community are now must haves, not nice to haves. The rise of social networks mean businesses must communicate with their customers across more channels, more often. And the emergence of the Cloud has created even more opportunities to respond to these growing consumer demands.

The new Web means business.Showing up is not enough anymore. The new Web is where businesses must connect to customers, build their brands, and drive revenue. It’s a new generation where powerful tools and technologies are required. Times like this call for cutting-edge technology, agility, and strong leadership. It’s time for Day, the leading content management software company designed for the new Web.

Businesses require agility. Now.

35 days to revenue. That’s how quickly Newsweek was up and running with Day Software. Which means they were also able to deliver value to their customers and revenue to their shareholders in record time. No one in enterprise software has been able to measure time to implementation in days. Until now. Until Day.

Time to Web just isn’t enough anymore.Businesses must now focus on accelerating their time to revenue. And Day delivers with the fastest time to revenue in the enterprise software category.

Adobe did it in hi tech. Williams-Sonoma and John Lewis did it in retail.Daimler, Volkswagen, and Audi did it in automotive. And, MTV, The Daily Mail, Time, and Newsweek did it in publishing.

These leading global brands saw that the Web was changing. And fast. They recognized that sea changes in consumer expectations and the rise of Cloud computing were disrupting business as usual. To seize these new opportunities, they turned to Day, accounting for a 45 percent increase in licensing revenue in 2009.

The new Web means business. In earlier generations of the Web, companies focused on broadcasting corporate information as an adjunct channel to their existing corporate communications strategies. The advent of Web 2.0 technologies, the rise of social networking, and new expectations for customer experiences on both the Web and mobile devices has fundamentally changed the way companies must engage and interact with their customers, prospects, and partners.

In the new Web, the online channel is no longer just a means of publishing corporate information. It’s now the primary platform for engaging prospects, capturing new customers and market share, driving new sources of revenues, and providing superior customer service to build customer loyalty and retention. With today’s uncertain economic climate, companies are relying even more on the Web and mobile channels to fuel corporate growth and drive profitability.

Business imperatives to drive growth through the online channel are a key force in Day’s success. But they are not the only factor contributing to renewed investments in solutions like CQ5. Businesses today need to fuel their investments in new growth initiatives by driving operational efficiencies as well. Along with the rise of the new Web, Cloud computing is a disruptive technology that is changing the landscape of IT organizations and the nature of the solutions they are evaluating for their Web and mobile initiatives.

Today’s IT organization needs to do more with less and meet accelerating time-lines for delivering on new business initiatives. The Cloud is the catalyst for IT agility, enabling IT organizations to dramatically lower costs, increase the speed of deployment, and meet critical performance requirements. In 2009, the Cloud became a second driving force behind new investment in the Web. New customer demand coming from CQ5’s unique, Cloud-enabling technology was an exciting area of growth for Day in 2009 and one we see continuing to accelerate in 2010.

Day’s executive team moved fast this year to capture these opportunities with exceptional results, with strong customer base growth, revenue, and profitability. Again, in both the new Web and for Day Software, agility matters.

Barry Bycoff Chairman of the Board

In the new Web, agility matters. And in 2009, Day again demonstrated that agility by seizing opportunities afforded by a new wave of invest-ment in the Web to position our CQ5 suite as the market-leading platform for Web 2.0.

2009 was a year for Day to make smart investments in sales, marketing, and product to build momentum, gain market share, and seize the new Web. These investments fueled immediate results with major new customer wins, strengthened go-to-market programs, and industry recognition for our market-leading solutions.

In 2009 we invested in our sales organization to open new markets and drive growth from existing sales regions. We established new operations in the U.K., France, and Italy and added capacity in North America, Central Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Over the course of the past 12 months, we grew our installed base by 30% globally and leveraged our expanded sales organization to drive renewed investment in Day and CQ5 from our installed base of global brand leaders. In the U.K., we built an exciting installed base of new customers, including Virgin Media, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), John Lewis Partnership, MailOnline (The Daily Mail, Metro), and WGSN. In France and Italy, we secured major new wins at Telecom Italia, Louis Vuitton, Accor, LaRedoute, Prenatal, and Esselunga. Customer highlights from our strengthened operations in North America, Central Europe, and Asia-Pacific include Adobe, General Motors (GM), the Department of Defense (Army), Newsweek, MTV, Boehringer Ingelheim, Fraport, Fraunhofer, Starhub, and the Government of Singapore. These customer wins were joined by major new investments in the Web and CQ5 from Day’s installed base of global brand leaders, including Daimler, Audi, Volkswagen, and Nissan.

Day’s customer traction resulted in a strong operational performance in 2009. For the year, Day grew total revenue to TCHF 36,342, a 31% increase over 2008. This growth was driven by a 45% increase in license revenue to TCHF 16,475, demonstrating increased demand for our CQ5 platform from both new and existing customers. While seizing this new growth, we also focused on operational excellence and profitable execution. For the year, we significantly increased profitability and delivered a strong 11% operating income margin. Our balance sheet is clean, transparent, and has no debt. With strong cash from operations, we ended the year with TCHF 22,034, an overall increase of 72% for 2009.

A Letter from Day Software CEO Erik Hansen

To seize the new Web, companies around the globe are rethinking their legacy Web strategies and investing in new solutions for Web Content Management (WCM). In 2009, Day capitalized on this new wave of investment and achieved break-out results to become the emerging leader of a second generation of the Web and the WCM market.

Page 13: Day Software  Annual Report 2009

This strong execution was also the result of significant investment in our go-to-market programs. As companies invest in the new Web, organizations leverage the industry and solution expertise of leading global interactive agencies and systems integrators. In 2009, Day invested in building new channel relationships and launching new partner programs to develop joint opportunities with leading global interactive agencies and systems integrators. Day secured new wins and customer deployments with agency partners including Sapient, MRM Worldwide, LBi, Razorfish, and Digitas and system integration partners including Logica, T-Systems, Thoughtworks, and Cambridge Technology Partners. In combination with over a dozen new or expanded relationships with leading regional partners, Day also expanded its go-to-market capabilities through the channel, with over 60% of net new wins being jointly developed with partners.

Looking ahead to 2010, Day’s investment in building a stronger channel and developing a channel-led sales model will continue to fuel new opportunities as customers engage trusted 3rd party agencies and system integrators to lead their next generation WCM investments.

Lastly, in 2009 Day continued to invest in product and technology innovation to fuel the momentum behind our CQ5 WCM platform. This year saw the introduc-tion of new CQ5 modules for Digital Asset Management and Social Collaboration and the release of our standalone CQ5 ECM platform, CRX. These new releases catalyzed renewed investment within our installed based, driving both product upgrades and new license sales. This continued innovation to keep Day at the forefront of new investment in the Web garnered strong industry recognition, with leading industry analyst Gartner Research naming Day as a Visionary in both the Magic Quadrant for WCM and Magic Quadrant for ECM reports. This is a remarkable achievement that validates Day’s emerging leadership position in a fast growing and exciting market.

In 2009 Day executed with great agility to build on the momentum of CQ5 and increase market share. 2009 was a year in which agility mattered. With renewed investment in the Web, the unique opportunity afforded by disruptive change in Day’s market, and the strength of Day’s CQ5 platform, we look forward to building on our 2009 successes to create an even stronger 2010.

Revenues

Total revenue increased TCHF 8,531, or 31% to TCHF 36,342 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from TCHF 27,811 in the prior year. Software license revenue increased TCHF 5,128, or 45% to TCHF 16,475 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from TCHF 11,347 in the prior year. The expansion of sales teams to new territories, namely Northern and Southern Europe, resulted in software revenue growth of 74% in these regions during 2009. In addition, the expansion of the US sales force at the end of 2008 resulted in a 22% increase in software licenses revenue during 2009. Product support revenue increased TCHF 1,798, or 19% to TCHF 11,478 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from TCHF 9,680 in the prior year due to the Company’s growing customer base and consistent product support renewals. Services revenue increased TCHF 1,605, or 24% to TCHF 8,389 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from TCHF 6,784 in the prior year due to increase in service contracts as a result of increase in license contracts and growing customer base.

Day’s revenue base continues to be geographically diverse. The Company expanded its sales team to new geographies during the year including France, Italy and Scandinavia. In 2009, the Company generated total revenues of TCHF 18,799 (52% of total revenues) in Europe and TCHF 17,543 (48% of total revenues) in the Americas and Asia Pacific. In 2008, the Company generated total revenues of TCHF 14,246 (51% of total revenues) in Europe and TCHF 13,565 (49% of total revenues) in the Americas and Asia Pacific. The amount of revenue generated in Asia Pacific was less than 2% for both 2009 and 2008.

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies as these are the currencies of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate. These currencies include the U.S. dollar, British Pound, the Euro and the Singapore Dollar. The financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into the Swiss Franc, the Company’s reporting currency, to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the exchange rates of these foreign currencies against the Swiss Franc will result in currency translation effects that could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not currently hedge these foreign exchange risks with financial

instruments. The Company will continue to be subject to these foreign currency translation effects as long as it continues to conduct business on a global basis.

If the 2009 revenue of the foreign subsidiaries had been translated into the Swiss Franc at the average exchange rates in effect for 2008, consolidated revenue would have been approximately TCHF 842 higher for 2009.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit increased TCHF 8,602, or 45% to TCHF 27,658 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from TCHF 19,056 in the prior year. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin is due to the 31% increase in revenue and the decrease in the write-down of capitalized software costs from TCHF 1,635 in 2008 to TCHF 0 in 2009 as there were no capitalized software costs remaining in 2009.

If the 2009 gross profit of the foreign subsidiaries had been translated into the Swiss Franc at the average exchange rates in effect for 2008, consolidated gross profit would have been approximately TCHF 199 higher for 2009.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased TCHF 2,121, or 10% to TCHF 23,498 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from TCHF 21,377 in 2008. R&D expenses decreased TCHF 154, or 2% to TCHF 6,622 in 2009 from TCHF 6,776 in 2008. S&M expenses increased TCHF 2,043, or 22% to TCHF 11,452 in 2009 from TCHF 9,409 in 2008 due to the increase in sales expense relating to the expansion of sales teams to new geographies and the increase of marketing activities, trade shows and customer events. G&A expenses increased TCHF 232, or 4% to TCHF 5,424 in 2009 from TCHF 5,192 in 2008 due to increased expenditure to support the company’s growth.

If 2009 operating expenses of the foreign subsidiaries had been translated into the Swiss Franc at the average exchange rates in effect for 2008, consolidated operating expenses would have been approximately TCHF 339 higher for 2009.

Foreign Currency Transaction Losses

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from specific foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated results of operations. There was a foreign exchange gain of TCHF 102 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to a foreign exchange loss of TCHF 2,530 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The foreign exchange losses for 2008 include a TCHF 2,296 non-cash charge resulting from reclassification of foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) into current year consolidated results of operations as the settlement of these intercompany balances is now planned in the foreseeable future. The foreign exchange losses were due to the declining value of the U.S. dollar, Euro and British Pound against the Swiss Franc during 2008. During 2008, some of these intercompany balances were eliminated by write off. The Company will settle these remaining intercompany balances as soon as the cash is available to minimize future foreign exchange gains and losses related to these balances.

Net Income

Net income from continuing operations was TCHF 2,706 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to net loss from continuing operations of TCHF 6,511 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net loss from discontinued operations was TCHF 0 and TCHF 5,491 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On December 31, 2008, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, MarketingNet, a UK company active in the agency services business. This sale was part of the Company’s efforts to refocus its UK operations on its core business and drive UK expansion through a channel-driven model. MarketingNet’s results of operations have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net income was TCHF 2,706 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to net loss of TCHF 12,002 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents amounted to TCHF 22,034, an increase of TCHF 9,220 from TCHF 12,814 as of December 31, 2008.

Accounts receivable net, including unbilled receivables, as of December 31, 2009 amounted to TCHF 11,615 compared to TCHF 9,339 at December 31, 2008. Increase in accounts receivable was the result of a 31% increase in sales from December 2009 compared to December 2008. Average days-sales-outstanding, which exclude unbilled receivables, as of December 31, 2009 decreased to 104 days, as compared to 118 days as of December 31, 2008.

Total current and non-current deferred tax assets decreased to TCHF 1,543 at December 31, 2009 from TCHF 2,639 as of December 31, 2008 due to utilization of a portion of the deferred tax assets during 2009.

Deferred revenue increased to TCHF 7,942 at December 31, 2009, as compared TCHF 5,187 as of December 31, 2008, respectively, due to an increase in maintenance contracts.

Accrued liabilities increased to TCHF 4,774 as of December 31, 2009, as compared to TCHF 3,196 as of December 31, 2008 due to an increase in accrued commissions, bonuses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits at the end of December 31, 2009.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 134 employees, as compared to 115 employees as of December 31, 2008. Headcount increased in all departments during 2009 to support the growth and infrastructure of the Company. The main increases were sales and global services group (GSG), where headcount increased by 7 employees each per department.

Internal Organizational Structure and Responsibility

The Board of Directors holds the ultimate decision-making authority for all matters except for those decisions reserved by law for shareholders. The Chairman sets convocation and agendas of the meetings of the Board of Directors. Any member of the Board of Directors may request the inclusion of further items on the agenda or request a meeting. The members receive documents and background information for all agenda items prior to the meetings in order to prepare questions and comments. The Board of Directors usually invites the Management Board, and on a case per case basis, other senior employees to give updates on operational issues within their respective tasks and responsibilities in the Company. The Board of Directors convenes as often as business requires. In 2009 it convened for a total of five ordinary meetings, each one generally between two and three hours, and two workshops, each of them during one and a half days.

As outlined above, the Board of Directors is responsible for making all key decisions as well as strategic decisions for the Company including sensitive compensation oriented decisions pertaining to the Management Board and the Board of Directors itself.

Day-to-day business management, operations and executing the operational plan as approved by the Board of Directors has been delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and the Management Board.

Information and Control Instruments

The Board of Directors uses a variety of information and control instruments to closely monitor the Company’s operations and operational risks. The Board of Directors holds periodic meetings to review the results of operations and to discuss matters that are deemed critical to the Company. The Board of Directors principally relies on the Company’s global accounting system which provides a wide variety of reports including full monthly reports in which the results of operations may be analyzed. The Chief Executive Officer and the Management Board supplements this information as requested by the various members of the Board of Directors. At the end of each financial quarter, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer immediately issue interim balances that will be provided to the Board of Directors. Final quarterly results will then be provided and discussed accordingly.

Every year, budgets are prepared for the Company. The budget is reviewed and approved by the Board of Direc-tors.

The Company has established a set of risk management systems incorporating existing operational and financial risk and reporting systems. The goal of the Company’s risk management is to minimize operational risks related to the Company’s core assets and therefore monitor and control all processes that are key and of major financial relevance.

Report of the Statutory Auditor on the Consolidated Financial Statements to the General Meeting of Day Software Holding AG, Basel

Phone +41 (0)44 444 35 55 BDO Ltd. Fax +41 (0)44 444 37 66 Fabrikstrasse 50 www.bdo.ch CH-8031 Zurich

As statutory auditor, we have audited the consolidated financial statements of Day Software Holding AG, which comprise the balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flow, statements of shareholders’ equity and notes on pages 34 to 57 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Board of Directors’ Responsibility The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and the requirements of Swiss law. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We con-ducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards and US Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (US GAAS). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consoli-dated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with accounting principles gener-ally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and comply with Swiss law.

Report on Other Legal Requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and indepen-dence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.

In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.

We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

On December 31, 2008, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, MarketingNet, a UK company active in the agency services business. This sale was part of the Company’s efforts to refocus its UK operations on its core business and drive UK expansion through a channel-driven model. MarketingNet’s results of operations have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Day Software Holding AG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in regional and industry economic conditions in which the Company and/or its customers participate can impact the estimates made by management. Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments include the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of share-based payment awards, obligations related

to the employee pension plan and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers. The Company does not obtain collateral with which to secure its accounts receivable. The Company maintains valuation allowances for potential credit losses based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable. Management’s estimates are based on historical losses, existing economic conditions and the facts and circumstances for specific receivables. The Company continually monitors past due accounts and pursues collection through various means. To date, the Company has not had significant write-offs of its receivables.

Risks, Uncertainties and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s operations are subject to new innovations in product design and functionality. Significant technological changes can have an adverse effect on product lives. Design and development of new products are important elements to achieving profitability in this industry segment.

The Company, at times, maintains cash balances at financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by government agencies.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company generated 33% of its revenue from 16 customers and had no customers accounting for more than 4% of total revenues in 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company generated 42% of its revenue from 13 customers and had no customers accounting for more than 6% of total revenues in 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands CHF, except share and per share information)

Day Software Holding AG (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was formed on October 29, 1999 as a stock corporation under the laws of Switzerland. The Company is a leading provider of content management and content infrastructure software and markets and sells its software products and services

through its subsidiaries located throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. The Company’s shares are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the symbol DAYN and on the U.S.’s Over-The-Counter market in the form of American Depositary Receipts under the symbol DYIHY.

Note 1 — Organization and History

Page 41: Day Software  Annual Report 2009

39

The Company derives most of its revenue from software licenses, product support and services sold to customers in the United States, Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom. The Company’s future revenue and results of operations may be significantly and adversely affected by the economic conditions in these countries. Further, a significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in currencies other than the Swiss Franc. The Company does not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risks. In order to manage foreign currency exchange risks, the Company attempts to match cash inflows and outflows (revenues with cost of revenues and operating costs) in the same currency to the extent possible. The Company continually monitors its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. However, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, especially the value of the U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro, could significantly impact the Company’s financial position and reported results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company derives revenues from software licenses, product support and services. Revenue from software licenses is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product support, consisting of the rights to unspecified software updates and technical support over the contractual support period, generally one year, is always sold with initial software arrangements. Customers have the right to renew product support based on the renewal terms stated in the initial software license contract.

For multiple-element contracts, which include both the sale of software licenses and product support, the entire fee must be allocated to the elements in the contract based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value the elements regardless of any separately stated prices in the contract for the elements. VSOE of fair value is the price charged for the elements when sold separately. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for the product support element of these contracts based on the product support renewal rate contracted in these multiple-element arrangements.

The renewal rate 1) represents the price charged for product support when sold separately, 2) is substantive, 3) is based on a standard price list, and 4) is a similar rate for all customers with variations based only on the level of product support to be provided.

For allocation of the arrangement fee to the elements of the contract, the Company uses the “residual method”, the prescribed method when VSOE of fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements but does exist for all of the undelivered elements. Under the residual method, the arrangement fee for the delivered elements (software license) is based on the difference between the total arrangement fee and the VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements (product support). The value allocated to the undelivered elements is deferred and subsequently recognized ratably over the contractual product support period typically one year.

Service revenue primarily consists of fees from software integration and training. The Company generally bills professional services on a time and materials basis and recognizes revenue as the services are performed. Services sold within a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for separately from the other elements in the arrangement as the service element is not essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement.

The Company defers revenue for software arrangements when cash has been received from the customer or when a customer has a contractual obligation to pay and the arrangement does not qualify for revenue recognition under FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. These amounts are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company will record an unbilled receivable for software arrangements when the arrangement qualifies for revenue recognition but the customer has not yet been billed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, which are carried at cost and approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks.

40

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the related lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Computer Software Development Costs

FASB ASC Topic 985, Software, requires development costs incurred in the research, design and development of new software products to be sold, licensed or marketed to be expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established at which time such costs are capitalized until the software products are available for sale and then amortized. During 2009 and 2008, there were no significant costs incurred between the date of establishing technological feasibility and the date the products were available for sale. Therefore, there were no capitalized software development costs in these years. All costs related to research, design, and development of computer software, principally comprised of payroll and related costs, were charged to research and development expense as incurred during 2009 and 2008.

Unamortized capitalized software costs are reported at net realizable value, which is determined on a product-by-product basis and is based on estimated future gross revenues. Management estimated the net realizable value of unamortized capitalized software costs to be zero as of December 31, 2008 as the products related to the capitalized software development costs were no longer being sold based on their original code due to a major architectural redesign during 2008. Write down of capitalized software costs charged to cost of revenues was TCHF 1,635 during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than

its carrying value, the carrying amount is reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during 2009 or 2008.

Foreign Currency

The Company operates in multiple countries and therefore is exposed to movements in foreign currencies. The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies as these are the currencies of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate. These currencies include the U.S. dollar, British Pound, the Euro and the Singapore Dollar. The financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into the Swiss Franc, the Company’s reporting currency, to prepare the consolidated financial statements, using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the monthly average for revenues and expenses. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the exchange rates of these foreign currencies against the Swiss Franc will result in currency translation effects that could have a significant impact on the Company’s other comprehensive income (loss).

The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany balances where settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future is included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). During 2008, most of these loan balances were eliminated by either reclassifying to investment in subsidiary or by writing off. These intercompany accounts are eliminated during consolidation.

The amount of local currency paid or received for transactions (including intercompany transactions where settlement is planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates from date of transaction to date of settlement. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses from specific foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange gains and (losses) were TCHF 102 and TCHF (2,530) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The foreign exchange losses for 2008 include a TCHF 2,296 non-cash charge resulting from reclassification of foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances

Page 43: Day Software  Annual Report 2009

41

accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) into current year consolidated results of operations as the settlement of these intercompany balances is now planned in the foreseeable future. The foreign exchange losses were due to the declining value of the U.S. dollar, Euro and British Pound against the Swiss Franc during 2008. During 2008, some of these intercompany balances were eliminated by write off. The Company will settle these remaining intercompany balances as soon as the cash is available to minimize future foreign exchange gains and losses related to these balances.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was TCHF 1,451 and TCHF 1,349 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Retirement and Pension Plans

The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plan in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which requires employers to recognize the net underfunded or net overfunded status of a defined benefit pension plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. Transactions and events affecting the funded status are recognized in the year in which they occur in other comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company accounts for its income taxes under an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the basis used for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the enacted tax rates that are in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if management determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize all or a portion of these tax assets.

In addition, FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a two-step recognition and measurement approach to uncertain tax positions taken in an income tax return that has been or will be filed and affecting the measurement of current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Management must first evaluate if it is more likely than not if a tax position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. If the tax position meets the recognition criteria, then management must determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.

Net Income Per Share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares include outstanding stock options. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, prescribes how to measure and recognize costs resulting from share-based payment awards to employees and directors. For share-based payment awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, the fair value of these awards on the date of grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis as compensation expense over the service period of the award which is generally equal to the vesting term of the award. For share-based payment awards granted prior to but not vested as of January 1, 2006, the grant date fair value of the unvested awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as compensation expense over the remaining vesting term of the award.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes the changes in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The components of comprehensive income (loss) include net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) and are included in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) include foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from translation of financial statements of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the Swiss Franc and defined pension benefit plan actuarial net gains or losses.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the requirement for enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the changes required in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements with respect to an entity’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2009 the FASB released the Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), which became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental US GAAP. The Codification was a major restructuring of accounting and reporting standards designed to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP by providing authoritative literature in a topically organized structure. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements but did change the accounting and reporting guidance referencing to broad FASB ASC topics using plain English within the footnote disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855-10-50, Subsequent Events, which provides rules on recognition and disclosure for events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In addition, the guidance requires a reporting entity to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. The adoption of ASC Topic 855-10-50 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Common stock equivalents totaling 157,955 were excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the diluted income per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2009 because their exercise price was greater than the Company’s average stock price during the period, therefore making their inclusion anti-dilutive.

Common stock equivalents totaling 404,296 were excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2008 as the effect of the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss in this period.

Employment Contracts

The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain officers and employees of the Company. The employment contracts expire at various dates. Under the provisions of the employment contracts, the Company may terminate all of these contracts for cash payments totaling TCHF 901.

Indemnification Clauses in Software License Agreements

The Company’s standard software license agreement includes an indemnification clause that indemnifies the licensee against liability and damages arising out of or in connection with an assertion that the software infringes any United States trademark or copyright. To date, the Company has had no material claims or costs related to these indemnification clauses and therefore, has no liability recorded related to these indemnification clauses as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 666,994 and 682,810 shares of conditional capital, respectively, subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Conditional capital will only be issued in connection with the exercise of the Company’s stock options granted to employees.

Dividends may be paid only if the Company has sufficient distributable profits from previous fiscal years, or if reserves are sufficient to allow for the distribution of a dividend based on the results of statutory financial statements of Day Software Holding AG. The Company is required to retain at least 5% of the annual net profits as a general reserve until such time that the reserves are at least 20% of the Company’s nominal share capital. Dividends are subject to the approval of the shareholders. To date, no dividends have been declared.

Treasury Shares

The Company purchases and sells its own shares of common stock and accounts for these transactions under the cost method of accounting for treasury shares. Treasury shares are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction in Shareholders’ Equity. Purchases of the Company’s own shares are reported at cost as an increase in treasury shares. Sales of the Company’s own shares are reported as a reduction in Treasury Shares based on the First in First Out (“FIFO”) method. If the shares are sold at a price in excess of the original cost using the FIFO method (gain on sale), paid-in capital is increased for the gain on sale. If the shares are sold at a price less than the original cost using the FIFO method (loss on sale), paid-in capital is first decreased by an amount not to exceed the paid-in capital amount from previous treasury share transactions. Any remaining loss on sale is recorded as a decrease to accumulated deficit.

There were 0 and 17,756 shares of capital stock in the treasury as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2009, the Company acquired 46,689 treasury shares for at total price of TCHF 1,663 at an average price of CHF 35.63 per share and sold 64,445 treasury shares for a total price of TCHF 2,168 at an average price of CHF 33.63 per share. The sale of treasury shares sold during 2009 resulted in a TCHF 227 increase in paid-in capital and a TCHF 91 increase in accumulated deficit.

During 2008, the Company acquired 37,316 treasury shares for at total price of TCHF 1,047 at an average price of CHF 28.05 per share and sold 33,276 treasury shares for a total price of TCHF 924 at an average price of CHF 27.76 per share. The sale of treasury shares sold during 2008 resulted in a TCHF 43 decrease in paid-in capital and a TCHF 341 increase in accumulated deficit.

The Company has two stock option plans, the Day Interactive Holding AG International Stock Option Plan (the “International Option Plan”) and the Day Interactive Holding AG United Stated Stock Option Plan (the “United States Option Plan”). Both the International Option Plan and the United States Option Plan are administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the terms and conditions of the options granted, including exercise price, number of options granted and

the vesting period of such options. Substantially all the stock options outstanding vest over a 4 year period and all have an exercise price equal to the market value on date of grant. The maximum term of options granted under the International Option Plan and the United States Option Plan is ten years. There were a total of 330,761 shares of capital stock available for issuance under the two stock option plans as of December 31, 2009.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Swiss Confederation bond yield during the option grant period.

The expected life is calculated taking an average between the option vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The forfeiture rates have been estimated to be zero as the historical forfeitures have not been significant.

The total aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was calculated as the difference in the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day in the period and the exercise price of options outstanding on the last day in the period multiplied by the number of options outstanding on the last day of the period. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was calculated as the difference in the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day in the period and

the exercise price of options exercisable (vested and outstanding) on the last day in the period multiplied by the number of options exercisable (vested and outstanding) on the last day of the period. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was calculated as the difference in the Company’s stock price on the day of exercise and the exercise price of options exercised multiplied by the number of options exercised.

United States

In the United States, the Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan that is considered a defined contribution discretionary plan under which eligible participants may contribute up to a maximum of 80% of their pre-tax earnings subject to certain statutory limitations. The Company made no discretionary contributions to the 401(k) retirement plan during 2009 and 2008.

Switzerland

For all employees residing in Switzerland, the Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering employees earning more than TCHF 25 per year. In 2005, the Plan was amended and changed from a defined contribution pension plan to a defined benefit pension plan due to changes in the laws governing pension plans in Switzerland. The Plan provides benefits in the event of retirement, death or disability and the benefits are based on age, years of service and salary. The Plan in financed by contributions by both the employer and employee.

The employee contributions are based on a percentage of the employee’s salary ranging from 8% to 19% of the employee’s salary and are dependent on age and gender.

The Plan assets are invested primarily in qualified insurance policies with AXA and cash. The insurance policies guarantee a fixed rate of return. For Plan assets related to the mandatory pension benefits, this return is based on the minimum interest rated decided by the government of Switzerland. For the remaining Plan assets, the investment return is decided by AXA.

The Plan’s assets and pension benefit obligation are measured at December 31, 2009.

The Company estimates that it will make TCHF 554 in contributions to the Plan during 2010.

A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is outside of Switzerland and in various countries with different tax laws and rates. As a result the weighted-average statutory tax rate will vary from

year to year according to each country’s pretax income or loss. The weighted average statutory rate is calculated using the pretax income of each country multiplied by the respective country’s tax rate.

Management reevaluates the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets based on historical income and estimated projected discounted future taxable income for each country on a regular basis. If management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the evaluation, a valuation allowance against the deferred assets will be recorded.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately TCHF 16,421, in a jurisdiction of Switzerland, which expire beginning 2010 through 2016. The effective total income tax rate in the Canton of Basel, Switzerland, the jurisdiction of the Company’s primary income generating activity, is approximately 24.8%. Day Software Holding AG does not pay any cantonal taxes, only federal taxes at 7.8%.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had United States federal net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately TCHF 27,208. These federal net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning 2020 through 2028. Section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code includes provisions that may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available for use in any given year if certain events occur, including significant changes in stock ownership.

In addition, the Company has certain net operating loss carryforwards in Germany, the United Kingdom and Singapore and amounting to approximately TCHF 12,278 as of December 31, 2009 which will be carried forward until they are used to offset taxable income.

Management has determined that it is more likely than not that tax positions taken in income tax returns that have been or will be filed and that affect measurement of current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions for the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax audits by various tax jurisdictions throughout the world. In Switzerland, the Company’s tax return for tax year 2009 remains open to examination. In the United States, the Company’s tax returns for tax years 2006 to 2009 for federal and 2005 to 2009 for state remain open to examination. In other major jurisdictions where the Company operates, including Germany and the United Kingdom, the Company’s tax return for tax year 2009 remains open to examination in Germany and the Company’s tax return for tax years 2008 and 2009 remains open to examination in the United Kingdom.

Note 10 — Segment and Other Information

The Company operates predominantly in a single industry segment as a provider of enterprise software and related services. The Company’s reportable operating segments are based on geographic location, which are Europe and the Americas. The Company’s Asia Pacific operating segment have been combined with the Americas as the operations are not significant. The

accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intergeographic revenues primarily represent intercompany revenues which are accounted for based on established sales prices between the related companies and are eliminated in consolidation. Geographical revenue information is based on the origin of the sales.

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

Note 13 — Risk Management

The 2009 consolidated financial statements of Day Software Holding AG were approved by the Board of Directors on April 20, 2010.

General and Financial Risks

Organizational and process measures have been designed to identify and mitigate risks throughout the Company. The Board of Directors of Day has the overall responsibility, on behalf of the Company, to monitor financial and operational risks and risk assessment processes and the appropriate responses to those risks. Operationally, risk assessment is allocated to the Company’s senior management, principally its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Chief Technical Officer and Corporate Controller. These individuals are responsible for coordinating the Company’s overall risk assessment, management, and any necessary remediation steps. On a regular basis, these senior managers are responsible for identifying risks and reporting to the Board, and, in certain circumstances, the Audit Committee of the Board, on identified risks and management’s reactions to those risks. Where risks are identified, these senior managers, and their staff, are responsible for taking appropriate remediation actions to address those risks.

The Company is exposed to a number financial risks arising from its international operations. The Company’s financial risk exposures are predominantly related to liquidity risks, changes in foreign exchange rates, and the creditworthiness of its customers. Financial risk management within the Company is dealt with in the

same way overall risk assessment and management is done. Financial risk assessment is allocated to the Company’s senior financial management, principally its Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller. These individuals are responsible for coordinating the Company’s overall financial risk assessment, management, and any necessary remediation steps. On a regular basis, these senior managers are responsible for identifying risks and reporting to the Board, and the Audit Committee of the Board, on identified financial risks and management’s reactions to those risks.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises if a surplus of financial obligations over available financial assets are due at any point in time. The Company’s approach to liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient cash flow and cash to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. At December 31, 2009, the Company had TCHF 22,034 of cash and TCHF 11,485 of accounts receivable to meet its liquidity requirements. The Company has no loan facility in place at this time.

Page 59: Day Software  Annual Report 2009

57

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company operates internationally and therefore is exposed to movements in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange risk arises because of the following transactions

1) The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies as these are the currencies of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate. These currencies include the U.S. dollar, British Pound, the Euro and the Singapore Dollar. The financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into the Swiss Franc, the Company’s reporting currency, to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the exchange rates of these foreign currencies against the Swiss Franc will result in currency translation effects that could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not currently hedge these foreign exchange risks with financial instruments. The Company will continue to be subject to these foreign currency translation effects as long as it continues to conduct business on a global basis.

2) The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany balances (resulting from foreign currency loans) where settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future is included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). During 2008, most of these loan balances were eliminated by either reclassifying to investment in subsidiary or by writing off. These intercompany transactions were then eliminated during consolidation. The Company does not currently hedge these foreign exchange risks with financial instruments. The Company will have minimal foreign exchange risk associated with the remaining intercompany balances due to the significant reduction in the balances.

3) The amount of local currency paid or received for transactions (including intercompany transactions where settlement is planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates from date of transaction to date of settlement. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses from specific foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange gains/(losses) were TCHF 102 and TCHF (2,530) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The foreign exchange losses for 2008 include a TCHF 2,296 non-cash charge resulting from reclassification

of foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) into current year consolidated results of operations as the settlement of these intercompany balances is now planned in the foreseeable future. The foreign exchange losses were due to the declining value of the U.S. dollar, Euro and British Pound against the Swiss Franc during 2009 and 2008. The Company does not currently hedge these foreign exchange risks with financial instruments. During 2008, some of these intercompany balances were eliminated by write off. The Company will settle these remaining intercompany balances as soon as the cash is available to minimize future foreign exchange gains and losses related to these balances.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company’s customers may default on their payment obligations to the Company causing financial losses. Historically, the Company has not experienced material losses due to customer defaults, but given the current economic climate, like other companies, it may be exposed to such losses in the future. To mitigate this type of risk, the Company, when appropriate, attempts to actively monitor the financial position of potential customers at the time it is entering into agreements with those customers and to actively monitor its account receivable collections. At December 31, 2009, the Company’s account’s receivable balance was TCHF 11,485.

Note 14 — Related Party Transactions

The spouse of Michael Moppert, a director of the Company, received compensation of TCHF 12 and TCHF 6 in 2009 and 2008, respectively, for consulting services performed for the Company.

Greg Williams, a director of the Company, received compensation of TCHF 52 during 2009 for legal related consulting services performed for the Company.

In 2009, the Company purchased software for TCHF 83 from a company who’s Chief Executive Officer, Ariel Luedi, was a director of the Company during 2009. The Company also sold software for TCHF 83 to this company during 2009.

There were no other related party transactions in 2009 and 2008.

As statutory auditor, we have audited the financial statements of Day Software Holding AG, which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss statements and notes on pages 60 to 65 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Board of Directors’ Responsibility The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 comply with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation.

Report on Other Legal Requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.

In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.

We further confirm that the proposed appropriation of available earnings complies with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation.

We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.
