SoftBrands Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2007 Results
15 May 2007

MINNEAPOLIS -- SoftBrands, Inc. (Amex:SBN), a global supplier of enterprise application software, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $21.4 million, an increase of 23% compared with revenues of $17.4 million in the second quarter fiscal 2006. The year-over-year increase in revenue was primarily the result of the acquisition of HIS in fourth quarter fiscal 2006.

Maintenance revenue accounted for 63 percent of total revenues in the current quarter, an increase from 60 percent of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

SoftBrands reported an operating loss of $1.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared with an operating loss of $1.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $3.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for second quarter fiscal 2007, compared with a loss of $1.6 million, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share, for the prior year's quarter.

"The early stages of our growth initiatives, combined with the timing of large transactions, can cause variability in our quarter-to-quarter results, and we experienced the positive and negative impact associated with this during the first half of fiscal 2007. As we previewed on April 10, our financial performance in the second quarter was below our original expectations," said Randy Tofteland, SoftBrands president and chief executive officer.

"Our hospitality business was the primary cause of the revenue shortfall in the second quarter. However, we are confident about hospitality's long- term outlook due to the strong results of this business during the prior two quarters. In addition, we have a solid pipeline of opportunities that includes large potential projects with customers already in the process of being implemented," said Tofteland. "In manufacturing, we were closer to plan in the second quarter, and since that time, SoftBrands has been selected in two strategic SAP B1 Large deals. These wins have the potential to open the door to additional opportunities over the long term. We are optimistic about our manufacturing business given this progress in large accounts and the momentum we are seeing in our channel activities."

"While the revenue shortfall in the second quarter impacts our full year outlook, we expect to post sequential improvement in revenue during the third and fourth quarters. Success in doing so would lead to operating margins in the low single digits for the year, including non-cash stock compensation and amortization of intangibles expenses, which have a combined five percentage point impact on operating margin. This would represent a material year-over- year improvement in operating profit for the fiscal year," said Tofteland.

Highlights of the second quarter and other recent developments include:

In the company's manufacturing business, second quarter fiscal 2007 revenues were $12.1 million, compared with $13.0 million in the fiscal 2006 period. Second quarter fiscal 2007 operating income in manufacturing was $770,000, an increase compared to $140,000 in the prior year's second quarter.

In the company's hospitality business, second quarter fiscal 2007 revenues were $9.3 million, a significant increase from $4.4 million in the prior year's quarter due to the acquisition of HIS. In second quarter fiscal 2007, SoftBrands' hospitality business generated an operating loss of $2.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

From a geographic perspective, 60 percent of our revenues were generated in the Americas in the quarter; 26 percent in the EMEA region; and 14 percent in the Asia Pacific region. This compares to a respective mix of 54 percent, 34 percent and 12 percent in the prior year's quarter.

Six Month Results
SoftBrands reported an operating loss of $351,000 for the first half of fiscal 2007, compared with an operating loss of $2.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006. The company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $3.3 million for the fiscal 2007 six-month period, or a loss of $0.08 cents per diluted share, compared with a loss of $2.1 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share in the fiscal 2006 period.

Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $46.4 million, compared with $34.1 million in the 2006 period, primarily as a result of the HIS acquisition.

Cash and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2007, SoftBrands had $15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of 20 percent from $12.8 million at the end of the previous quarter. The increase in cash was driven by positive cash from operations during the quarter. A $3.1 million increase in deferred revenue was the primary contributor to the positive cash flow in the second quarter.
