  Goodwill Impairment Test:
At least annually, the Company is required to perform an impairment test of its goodwill. The Company expects to complete the 2008 test during March 2009. If the Company determines any portion of goodwill was impaired, it would recognize a non-cash charge that would impact GAAP operating loss and loss per share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. Such a non-cash charge would not impact the non-GAAP financial information presented in this press release.

See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for more information regarding Attunity’s use of Non-GAAP financial measures.

“The unusual economic conditions made Q4 an uncharacteristically tough quarter for us this year, having an adverse impact on our financial statements. As a result, we implemented additional restructuring and cost-cutting efforts during the fourth quarter to ensure a more conservative cost-base as we move towards 2009. This included a compensation reduction across the company, including a voluntary reduction by myself”, stated Shimon Alon, Attunity Chairman and CEO.

Highlights of the Quarter
Oracle OEM Agreement
  Following the successful unveiling by Oracle at their annual Oracle Open World of additional software products delivered under the terms of the existing OEM agreement Attunity’s CDC technology stack was formally rolled into Oracle’s own product portfolio and made available for sale by the Oracle field. Named “Oracle Changed Data Capture Adapters,” these new Oracle products now fall within Oracle’s Fusion Middleware Adapters product family.

Microsoft License Agreement
  Following the delivery to Microsoft of the first two embedded adapters for SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) in Q3 2008, under the terms of the previously announced OEM agreement, Microsoft formally announced the availability of the adapters to the marketplace; generating significant industry acknowledgement and interest.

Major customer and partner wins
  Major customer and partner wins across the world including first implementations by Sony Online, Pioneer Investments, ADT, Cass Information Services, and TNS Media.

Other Highlights
  In light of our cash position, the company undertook a significant exercise in aligning expenses to be more in-line with current economic conditions including the streamlining and re-structuring of certain parts of the organization, and initiating a company-wide compensation reduction

“We believe that our re-structuring and cost-cutting exercise during Q4 2008, combined with a tighter company focus around our core competencies, will help us towards non-GAAP profitability and positive cash flows from operations this year” continued Mr. Alon. “We believe that the current economic climate should actually increase customer demand for even further value being extended from their information assets. This combined with customer investment for growth as the downturn ends, should put us in a good position for 2009 for delivering against our vision of real-time data integration, event and changing data capture.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Attunity uses non-GAAP measures of net loss, net operating profit (loss) and net loss per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity based compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123(R), non-cash capitalization and amortization of software development costs in accordance with SFAS 86, expenses related to employment termination and offices shutdown costs, and non cash financial expenses such as amortization of beneficial conversion features related to the convertible debt and deferred charges related to warrants granted in connection with a long term loan. Attunity’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of Attunity’s on-going core operations and prospects for the future. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
