Annual Report 2008 - (Page 9) Acquisitions MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE FUTURE The needs of infrastructure projects and the software required to sustain them are increasingly multifaceted. As a trusted supplier dedicated to meeting those needs, Bentley continues to expand its software portfolio both through internal development and through acquisitions. In addition to an acquisition’s incremental products and technologies, Bentley understands the long-term value of the talent and domain expertise of the new colleagues who join our team through these acquisitions. Since most of the world’s infrastructure software applications already call for Bentley’s robust DGN (or DWG) platform, time to integration of acquired applications is minimized.

In December 2007, Bentley acquired Hevacomp, Ltd., a U.K.-based leading provider of building-services engineering software founded in 1981 and dedicated to improving the performance of buildings. This acquisition extends our commitment to sustaining infrastructure by enabling the design of “green” buildings. The Hevacomp portfolio includes software for energy analysis, heating and cooling load calculations, pipe and duct sizing, and electrical system design and product catalogs. Hevacomp is at the forefront of simulation for building energy analyses, incorporating software certified to perform CO2 emissions calculations required under Part L of the U.K. building regulations, the world’s most forward-looking standard. Bentley will now integrate this functionality into its global offerings. 10
