WAALWIJK, The Netherlands -

- Order Portfolio of Technology Company IAI Industrial Systems Reaches Highest Level Ever

- Profit Growth of Internet Service Company Docdata due to a Strong Increase of Realised Transactions

Michiel Alting von Geusau, CEO of DOCDATA N.V.: “The strategy ‘Vision 2010: Gear to Growth’ remains tightly on track, despite the current economic crisis, both for Technology company IAI industrial systems and Internet service company Docdata. Our focus for Technology company IAI industrial systems is to secure orders for the delivery of highest quality systems and for Internet service company Docdata to further growth of the number of realised transactions. In line with this focus and despite the challenging external circumstances, we have realised a further growth both in revenue and results. We, however, remain cautious regarding the current economic situation and the markets in which we operate. We do expect to be able to continue the current positive trend in the second half-year 2009.”

Half-year Half-year ended ended Revenue 30 June 2009 30 June 2008 Growth (in thousands, except percentage EUR EUR % figures) Technology company IAI industrial systems 4,187 2,575 + 63% Internet service company Docdata (excluding media) 22,082 17,470 + 26% Docdata media 8,627 15,648 -/- 45% Total 34,896 35,693 -/- 2%

Technology company IAI industrial systems has delivered in the first half-year 2009 a number of high-quality personalisation systems and realised new orders, resulting in an order portfolio at the end of the first half-year 2009 of EUR 24.3 million.

Internet service company Docdata has realised in the first half-year 2009 a strong increase in the number of unique transactions compared to the first half-year 2008. In the first six months of 2009, approximately 10 million unique transactions were processed.

Major features of the first half-year 2009

Revenue of DOCDATA N.V. has decreased in the first half-year 2009 with EUR 0.8 million to EUR 34.9 million (-/- 2%). Docdata commerce, payments and fulfilment have realised a revenue increase of EUR 4.6 million, IAI industrial systems a revenue increase of EUR 1.6 million and Docdata media a revenue decrease of EUR 7.0 million (of which EUR 4.8 million related to the sold media activities of Docdata media in the UK and the sale of 4D upgrade GmbH in Germany). In the first half-year 2009 a higher gross profit was realised of EUR 10.8 million compared to EUR 9.4 million in the first half-year 2008 (+14%). Gross profit margin in the first half-year 2009 almost reached 31% compared to 26% in the first half-year 2008; both lines of business have contributed to this improvement in gross profit margin.

In the first half-year 2009, an operating profit before financing result (EBIT) has been realised of EUR 2.4 million. The increase with EUR 1 million compared to the first half-year 2008 is for the largest part realised by IAI industrial systems. This is predominantly the result of the higher number of systems that were delivered in the first half-year 2009, while no systems were delivered in the first half-year 2008. In addition to the operating profit, the financing result in the first half-year 2009 has improved with EUR 0.3 million compared to the first half-year 2008, predominantly resulting from lower net interest charges and an improvement in the foreign currency exchange result. Furthermore, income tax expenses have increased with EUR 0.5 million in the first half-year 2009 due to a higher profit before income tax. All combined, this has resulted in a profit for the period which is EUR 0.8 million higher than in the first half-year 2008.

DOCDATA N.V. has maintained its strong financial position with a solvency ratio of 55.6% (31 December 2008: 51.8%). In relation to the Company’s liquidity, the cash surplus position has decreased with EUR 3.5 million from EUR 4.4 million at 31 December 2008 to EUR 0.9 million as at 30 June 2009. DOCDATA N.V. has realised in the first half-year 2009 a net cash from operating activities of EUR 0.2 million. The spending of this total of EUR 3.7 million in cash in the first half-year 2009 is shown in the cash flow statement; the main elements are the distribution of dividend for the year 2008 to the shareholders (EUR 2.0 million), investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (EUR 1.2 million) and the acquisition of (minority share interests in) subsidiaries and investments in associates and other investments (EUR 0.6 million).

Internet service company Docdata realised in the first half-year 2009 a strong increase in the number of unique transactions compared to the first half-year 2008. Each transaction contributes to the success of our customers. We offer customer specific or complete Internet solutions. In the Benelux we have a reputation as the most progressive Internet service company and we are pleased to be part of the secret behind the success of our customers. In Germany and the United Kingdom we have not yet reached this position yet but we will continue to work hard to achieve this in the next few years.

Goals for 2009 and 2010 are:

1. Service Excellence;

2. Growth of the number of transactions;

3. Development of new services.

In addition to the geographical focus, we continue to invest in new services for our customers. As an example of a new service we recently started to offer our e-commerce customers a fully integrated solution for web photography. Through this service our customers are able to present and sell articles in their web shop within 24 hours. This service is offered in-house in our fulfilment centers in order to operate this process as efficient as possible.

An important trend is that more people order online more frequently. We have the impression that this trend is supported by the current economic recession and as a result we expect a further growth also for the coming months. However, we see that the average amount per order decreases but the number of transactions keeps growing.

Michiel Alting von Geusau, CEO of DOCDATA N.V.: “On a monthly basis we process more than one and a half million transactions for our customers. These transactions are realised orders, successful payments, delivered orders and completed returns. We expect that the number of transactions we process will grow further in the coming years. The current economic crisis will have an impact on online spending, the growth will weaken, but also in 2009 the number of e-commerce transactions will further increase.”

The current risks are mainly in terms of the financial position of our customers and the strategic choice of (potential) customers to purchase certain services from external suppliers. Often these decisions are reconsidered in case of takeovers. As a result of this we expect that one of our customers abroad will not renew the distribution contract in 2010. We also see that client acquisition takes much longer in the current economic crisis. Customers clearly need more time to take these decisions.

In the document security market Technology company IAI industrial systems is more and more seen as the highest quality supplier of production systems to personalise and/or secure documents issued by governments. In the document security market IAI industrial systems succeeded to achieve excellent results. IAI industrial systems has an order book of EUR 24.3 million at the end of the first half-year 2009 (31 December 2008: EUR 10.8 million). We therefore expect further growth in the second half-year 2009.

Goals for 2009 and 2010 are:

1. Timely delivery of systems;

2. Realising new orders;

3. Development of new systems with unique features.

Michiel Alting von Geusau, CEO of DOCDATA N.V.: “We are ideally positioned in the market of document security. We can compete with the big players in this market due to our high quality, reliable and customer-specific systems. Despite the credit crisis, we expect that governments will continue to invest in the security of documents.”

Worldwide, we see that many countries hold on to paper holder pages. For this extensive market segment IAI industrial systems has developed BM One systems which process personal data by means of inkjet printing, followed by the application of a protective laminate on the holder page. Although such systems do not embed the laser inscription application, these systems can, depending on customer’s request, include the ImagePerf(R) and/or NumberPerf(R) laser-functionality. With the development of these BM One systems IAI industrial systems has entered a large market segment of the known document security market. Systems with this new technology were already sold and partly delivered to a number of countries, including Romania and Algeria.

Another new development is demonstrated by the SheetMaster and WebMaster systems that can process documents printed in sheets or in web. There is a large variety of documents that can be processed, for example: birth certificates, registration certificates, diplomas, passport pages, documents for levying direct taxes, etc. There is no standardisation of such documents yet. For this reason these systems are equipped with many different options to cover the demands in this market as much as possible. Also here IAI industrial systems entered a new segment in a known market. These systems were already sold and partly delivered to a number of countries, including South Africa and India.

For the recently acquired order from Bulgaria, IAI industrial systems is developing new systems for the decentralised personalisation market. For that purpose the technology of the highly integrated systems, such as the BM One, is made available in small standalone solutions. With this IAI industrial systems again enters a new market.

The above examples illustrate the significant expansion of the product range of IAI industrial systems for the document security market.

IAI industrial systems continued to build a solid network in the solar industry in the first half-year 2009. In this market IAI industrial systems offers production systems for solar cells or panels. Major orders appeared to be postponed due to the credit crisis. Potential customers have postponed the purchase of their new productions systems until they have more certainty about their funding. IAI industrial systems is convinced that the solar market will be growing again as soon as the funds for capital expenditure are available. Nothing has fundamentally changed in this market. Based on this conviction IAI industrial systems will therefore continue to build a network to benefit from after the credit crisis.

The planned growth of IAI industrial systems has already resulted in a workforce that has grown significantly in 2009. In addition, IAI industrial systems also offers a lot of work to temporary staff and to outsourcing partners.

Outlook

The focus in 2009 will be on autonomous profitable growth.

The focus for Internet service company Docdata is on the further development of the Internet service model in Germany and the United Kingdom. The goal is to become a Top 5 player in the coming years. Secondly, the focus is on adding new services, starting in the Benelux. For 2009, we expect further growth, despite the economical market situation; with the clear exception of Docdata media.

In the document security market, Technology company IAI industrial systems has not only realised outstanding results in the first six months of 2009, also the order portfolio is well filled for 2009 and 2010. The focus is on the timely delivery of ordered systems and secondly on the development of new markets through unique solutions. We do not expect any substantial revenue in 2009 in the Solar market.

Interim Financial Information

The interim financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (hereafter “IFRS”) and its interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Revenue (in thousands, except percentage Half-year ended Half-year ended figures 30 June 2009 30 June 2008 Revenue by line of business EUR % EUR % Internet service company Docdata 30,709 88.0 33,118 92.8 Technology company IAI industrial 4,187 12.0 2,575 7.2 systems Total 34,896 100.0 35,693 100.0

- The revenue of Docdata decreased with EUR 2.4 million (7%) in the half-year ended 30 June 2009. In the first half-year 2009 the total revenue of the Docdata commerce, Docdata payments and Docdata fulfilment services increased with EUR 4.6 million (26%), including a negative foreign exchange effect of EUR 0.5 million. The increased revenue of these three Internet services has been realised through autonomous growth (+/+ EUR 4.2 million, including the FX GBP effect of -/- EUR 0.5 million) and through the acquisition of Pegasus Mail GmbH per 1st of January 2009 (+/+ EUR 0.4 million). The revenue of the Docdata media service decreased with EUR 7 million in total, of which EUR 4.8 million as a combined result of the sale of the UK media business by docdata media Ltd. on 30 January 2009 and the sale of all shares of 4DU upgrade GmbH on 20 November 2008; the other EUR 2.2 million of this revenue decrease was due to declining revenue from replication activities in Tilburg and Berlin.

- IAI industrial systems’ revenue increased EUR 1.6 million (63%) in the half-year ended 30 June 2009 compared to the half-year ended 30 June 2008. The increase in revenue is mainly caused by a combination of a higher number of security systems delivered in 2009 and a lower revenue from deliveries of subassemblies in the first half-year 2009.

Gross profit (in thousands, except percentage Half-year ended Half-year figures) 30 June 2009 ended 30 June 2008 Gross profit (margin) by line of business (margin as % of revenue by line of business) EUR % EUR % Internet service company Docdata 8,854 28.8 8,583 25.9 Technology company IAI industrial 1,903 45.5 848 32.9 systems Total 10,757 30.8 9,431 26.4

- The gross profit of Docdata increased with EUR 0.3 million (3%). Docdata commerce, Docdata payments and Docdata fulfilment contributed EUR 7.2 million to the gross profit in the half-year ended 30 June 2009 compared to EUR 6.1 million in the half-year ended 30 June 2008, mainly due to growth in the number of transactions. Docdata media contributed EUR 1.7 million to the gross profit in the first half-year 2009 compared to EUR 2.5 million in the first half-year 2008. Notwithstanding the fact that the media business is declining, the Docdata media companies controlled their production costs successfully also supported by a lower cost price of purchased goods.

- The gross profit of IAI industrial systems increased with EUR 1.0 million (24%) in the half-year ended 30 June 2009 compared to the half-year ended 30 June 2008. Both the gross profit and gross profit margin increased due to the delivery of a higher number of security systems in the first half-year 2009.

Operating profit before financing result (EBIT) Selling & Administrative expenses (in thousands, except percentage Half-year ended Half-year ended 30 June 2009 30 June 2008 Operating profit (margin) by line of business (margin as % of revenue by line of business) EUR % EUR % Internet service company Docdata 1,496 4.9 1,354 4.1 Technology company IAI industrial systems 881 21.0 58 2.3 Total 2,377 6.8 1,412 4.0 Selling & Administrative expenses (as % of revenue) Selling expenses 2,314 6.6 2,336 6.5 Administrative expenses 5,897 16.9 5,670 15.9 Total 8,211 23.5 8,006 22.4 Selling & Administrative expenses by line of business (as % of revenue by line of business) Internet service company Docdata 7,189 23.4 7,216 21.8 Technology company IAI industrial systems 1,022 24.4 790 30.7 Total 8,211 23.5 8,006 22.4

- In the half-year ended 30 June 2009 the operating profit of Docdata increased with EUR 0.1 million compared to the half-year ended 30 June 2008. This is the combined effect of an increased gross profit (EUR 0.3 million) and higher other operating expenses (EUR 0.2 million). These other operating expenses of EUR 0.2 million in the first half-year 2009 consist of additional personnel expenses and advisory costs. The operating profit of Docdata commerce, payments and fulfilment in the first half-year 2009 amounts to EUR 1.5 million compared to EUR 1.0 million in the first half-year 2008 and is the result of more transactions and efficiency improvements. In the first half-year 2008 the Docdata media companies contributed EUR 0.3 million to the operating profit, while this decreased to almost nil in the first half-year 2009.

- Operating profit of IAI industrial systems increased EUR 0.8 million in the first half-year year ended 30 June 2009 compared to the half-year ended 30 June 2008. This increase is the combined effect of increased gross profit with EUR 1.0 million and increased selling and administrative expenses with EUR 0.2 million in the first half-year 2009. The increase in operating profit margin in the first half-year 2009 is the result of the sale of a higher number of security systems which have a relative high profit margin compared to other revenue categories. The selling and administrative expenses increased with EUR 0.2 million (29%) due to higher personnel costs as a result of the expansion in number of employees. This enables IAI industrial systems to realise further growth, as well as their entry in the solar market.

Net financing income / (expenses)

Net financing income for the half-year ended 30 June 2009 amounted to nearly EUR 0.2 million compared to net financing expenses of EUR 0.1 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2008. This increase of EUR 0.3 million is caused by higher net bank interest income in the half-year ended 30 June 2009 (effect: nearly EUR 0.1 million) and over EUR 0.2 million higher foreign currency exchange result in the half-year ended 30 June 2009, compared to the financial expenses in the half-year ended 30 June 2008, due to the British pound recovering against the euro since January 2009

Income tax expense

DOCDATA’s effective tax rate in the half-year ended 30 June 2009 was 27.7% with an income tax expense of EUR 0.7 million on a profit before income tax of EUR 2.6 million. In the half-year ended 30 June 2008, the profit before income tax amounted to EUR 1.3 million and the income tax expense amounted to EUR 0.3 million (effective tax rate: 20.4%).

The income tax expense of EUR 0.7 million in the half-year ended 30 June 2009 is the combined result of the following tax treatments of the results per country:

- In the Netherlands, a tax charge has been recorded at a corporate income tax rate of 25.5% on the taxable income for the Dutch fiscal entity as well as for the Dutch subsidiaries that are not part of this fiscal entity.

- In the United Kingdom, income taxes are recorded against a corporate income tax rate of 28.0% (2008: 28.0%). As a consequence of the sale on 30 January 2009 of the UK media business and tangible fixed assets to Sound Performance Manufacturing Ltd., no deferred tax assets on the remaining net operating losses and capital allowances of docdata media Ltd. have been recognised in the consolidated balance sheets at 31 December 2008 and at 30 June 2009.

- In Germany, a tax charge has been recorded at a corporate income tax rate of in general around 30.0% on taxable income for the German entities, taking into account lower income tax rates for some regions in Germany when and where applicable.

Liquidity and capital resources

The General Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on 13 May 2009 approved the proposal to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.30 per ordinary share outstanding (excluding own shares held by the Company), which had a decreasing impact of EUR 2.0 million on retained earnings within the equity of the Company in the half-year ended 30 June 2009.

In the half-year ended 30 June 2009, the Group’s net cash position has decreased with EUR 3.5 million to EUR 0.9 million from EUR 4.4 million at 31 December 2008. Net cash from operating activities amounted to EUR 0.2 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2009 (half-year ended 30 June 2008: EUR 1.0 million). These total available funds of EUR 3.7 million were for a large part spent on the EUR 2.0 million dividend payment. In addition, the Group has invested a total amount of EUR 1.8 million in the half-year ended 30 June 2009: EUR 1.1 million in property, plant and equipment (mainly ware­housing equipment and investment in IT infrastructure); EUR 0.6 million for the acquisition of the remaining minority interests in Braywood Holding Ltd. (14.40% of shares) and docdata commerce Ltd. (29.10% of shares; formerly named Hitura Ltd.), and EUR 0.1 million in intangibles (predominantly IT development costs) and in associates.

In the half-year ended 30 June 2009 31,420 personnel options were exercised from the 2004 series at a price of EUR 4.48 per share. The underlying shares have been delivered by the Company from the own shares in possession of the Company. The proceeds of EUR 141 thousand have been credited to equity under reserves, as the purchase of own shares has been charged to reserves in the past. Per 30 June 2009, the Company owned 351,482 own shares (5.02%), which number is the same as the number of own shares currently owned by the Company per 28 July 2009.
