PRESS RELEASE 25 August 2011

Net profit for first six months of 2011

Electronic payments double

Brussels, Belgium - 25 August 2011 – Keyware (EURONEXT Brussels: KEYW) a leading supplier of electronic-payment solutions, loyalty systems, identity applications and related transaction management, today announced its financial results for the first six months and the second quarter of 2011, which closed on 30 June 2011. Keyware realised a net profit of EUR 50 k compared to a profit of EUR 172 k for 2010. However, the profit booked in 2010 could be wholly attributed to a non-recurrent gain. Whereas, the profit of 2011 does not contain any non-recurring gains.

Keyware concluded the first six months and the second quarter of 2011 in line with the expectations. The company realised a positive result for the fifth consecutive quarter. This result can mainly be attributed to the combined sale of terminals and transaction contracts.

In comparison to the first six months of 2010, Keyware has further expanded its market share in payment terminals and transaction subscriptions in the higher quality market segments. These segments are characterised by a constant growth, long-term contracts and the possibility to deliver additional payment services.

Keyware's position as an independent payment partner with a personalised service package is also reflected, in particular, in the substantial progress in the market of retail and services chains.

In the field of payment transactions, Keyware more than doubled both the volume and the value in comparison to the first half of 2010. Never before did so many retailers switch to Keyware's attractive transaction offer for Maestro, V-Pay, MasterCard, Visa, AMEX, DinnersClub and JCB.

Stéphane Vandervelde, CEO: "Our unique positioning offers a real and constant added value within the various growth market segments. In the coming quarters, Keyware expects to be able to increase its market share and also launch additional payment services. With this, we are opting for higher and profitable growth.

Guido Van der Schueren, Chairman of the Board of Directors: "The past two years were characterised by generally difficult economic conditions. As a result of Keyware's strong products and services, its streamlined business model and the constant growth of electronic payments, Keyware has succeeded in presenting profitable figures quarter after quarter. Keyware also expects to be profitable for the full financial year 2011, without taking non- recurring gains into account. ”
