Fiscal First-Quarter 2008/09 Revenues

(Euro millions)                            2009-2010   2008-2009   Change
First-quarter revenues (July-September)       9.0         9.6      - 6%

For the first quarter of fiscal 2009/10 (July-September 2009), Aedian announces
revenues of EUR 9.0 m, down 6% compared to the first quarter of the previous
year.

* Revenues
The sales performance of the first quarter of FY2009/10 is negatively impacted
by an unfavourable comparison basis: in the same period of the previous year,
before the economic downturn in the second quarter of FY2008/09, Aedian still
posted revenue growth of +5.8%.

Aedian's business volumes proved resilient during the quarter despite a
challenging market environment characterised by the wait-and-see attitude of
corporate decision-makers and stiff price competition.

In this environment, we have been focusing on two priorities:

 - Tight cost control to bring the operating margin back to satisfactory
   levels;
 - Maintaining our human capital and our know-how so that we are fully
   operational to tap the rebound when the economy recovers. The billable
   consultant headcount, for example, has remained virtually unchanged, as has
   the inter-contract downtime, which has been maintained at between 5 and 6%,
   the same level as in the year-earlier period.

* Annual Shareholders' Meeting
Aedian's AGM will be held on 27 November 2009, in particular to approve the
accounts of the 2008-2009 fiscal year ending on 30 June 2009. The revenues and
financial performance of the first half of FY2009-10 will be reported on 16
February 2010.
