Applix Named to Boston Globe 100 List for Third Straight Year.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. -- Applix, Inc. (NasdaqGS: APLX), a leading business analytics software solutions provider, has been named to the 19th annual "Globe 100" list of top performing public companies in Massachusetts for the third consecutive year. In addition, Applix also was included in the "Growth 50" list for the second straight year.

Based upon a composite score derived from financial data for the four quarters ending December 31, 2006, Applix was ranked 50th among Massachusetts-based companies whose stock is publicly traded on NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange.

"Applix's inclusion in the Globe 100 and Growth 50 listings is representative of our strong growth and overall vision," said David Mahoney, Applix president and chief executive officer. "In 2006, we led our industry in revenue growth, as we increased total revenues by 41 percent, and increased license revenue by 54 percent over 2005, which was itself a record year for the company. Now, we're seeing a shift in the market toward what we call 'business analytics' -- the convergence of business intelligence and performance management solutions. Applix is the only provider of a single, complete business analytics platform, which firmly positions us moving forward for continued high levels of growth."

"The companies in the Globe 100 have distinguished themselves in not only their respective fields but among other Massachusetts businesses," said Globe business editor Shirley Leung. "This year's Globe 100 highlights the broad spectrum of both old and new Massachusetts companies, from cutting-edge sectors like biotechnology to long-standing staples like construction."
