Chelmsford, MA – August 10, 2010 – Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leader in Business Intelligence (BI), today announced results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $4,593,000, as compared to $4,765,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $222,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to $275,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $13,399,000 as compared to $15,059,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $(75,000), or $(0.01) per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $(5,1 94,000), or $(0.88) per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The results for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 include a $6.4 million goodwill and trademark impairment charge.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $6,072,000 in net cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $423,000, or 7 percent, compared to September 30, 2009.

Commenting on the third quarter results, President and CEO Ken Bero said, “Income from operations was solidly in the black, a welcome turnaround from the previous two quarters. Our operating performance resulted from the relative stabilization of revenues compared to Q2 combined with continued expense management.”

“We achieved solid enterprise software sales with several large deals coming from our European operations,” added Bero. “Sales of our desktop BI products were slightly lower as compared to the previous quarter. However, maintenance revenue was strong demonstrating that even in these difficult times our customers are continuing to find tremendous value in their Datawatch solutions. While operations posted a strong showing for the quarter, net income was negatively impacted by currency losses resulting from the translation of Euro based assets into the functional currency of our subsidiaries in the UK, the British Pound.”
