FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SOFTECH ANNOUNCES IMPROVED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER FY 2009

Net Income rises substantially; operating cash flows improve significantly

LOWELL, Mass. – January 15, 2009 – SofTech, Inc. (OTCBB: SOFT), a proven provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2009 (quarter ended November 30, 2008). Revenue was approximately $2.5 million for Q2 2009, unchanged compared to the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2008 (quarter ended November 30, 2007).

The Company’s profitability improved substantially, with net income increasing by approximately $566,000 from a loss of $218,000 ($.02 per share) in Q2 2008, to net income of approximately $348,000 ($.03 per share) in Q2 2009. For the six months ended November 30, 2008, the Company’s net income increased by approximately $984,000, from a loss of $217,000 ($.02 per share) in the first half of FY 2008 to net income of approximately $767,000 ($.06 per share).   

Net Cash flows from operating activities also improved considerably during the first half of FY 2009, increasing approximately $654,000 from negative $235,000 during the first half of FY 2008 to positive net operating cash flows of $419,000 in the first half of FY 2009. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 is included in the attached Financial Summary.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), a non- GAAP financial measure, also improved considerably during Q2 2009, increasing from $498,000 in Q2 2008 to $688,000 in Q2 2009, a 40% increase.  For the first half of FY 2009, EBITDA was $1.5 million, compared to $1.2 million in the comparable prior period.  A reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) is provided on the attached Financial Summary.

The Company’s revenue is derived almost entirely from technology acquisitions completed between 1997 and 2002, and the Company’s operations are not capital intensive.  As of November 30, 2008, approximately 4.3% of the Company’s assets represent amortizable intangible assets related to these historical acquisitions. The Company does not anticipate making further acquisitions in the foreseeable future.  For the quarter ended November 30, 2008, amortization expense (a non-cash expense) related to these intangible assets was approximately 4.7% of total expenses, 4% of total revenue and 29% of net income. Further, the periods over which these intangible costs are expensed are highly judgmental.

The Company believes that EBITDA is useful supplemental information for investors, when considered along with net income and other income statement data.   The Company believes that EBITDA is useful because it provides investors with information concerning the potential longer term profitability of the Company’s technology assets (subsequent to full amortization of costs), as amortization of acquisition costs has been added back to net income in arriving at EBITDA.  Further, management believes that EBITDA provides a useful financial metric by which the Company can be compared with other companies that have different capital structures (interest (a cost of capital) has been added back to net income in arriving at EBITDA).  It is also management’s belief that this non-GAAP measure of performance continues to be used in the investment community as a financial metric for business valuation purposes.

However, the Company believes that EBITDA is not a substitute for cash flow from operating activities, which is disclosed above and in the Company’s financial statements.  Investors should carefully review the financial statements of the Company in their entirety in order to obtain a complete understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
