MeVis started into 2012 with a positive first quarter: Sales stabilized, the earnings situation improved thanks to lower costs, and Group liquidity increased.
Sales in the first quarter of 2012 came to € 3,637 k, only slightly down on the first quarter of 2011 (€ 3,718 k). License sales declined only marginally by 4 % to € 2,011 k (prev. year: € 2,086 k). The maintenance business dropped slightly by 2 %, from € 1,545 k in the extraordinarily successful first quarter of 2011 to € 1,513 k, but rose by 9 % compared to last year's quarterly average.
Sales in Digital Mammography went down by 8 % compared to an unusually strong first quarter (€ 2,876 k) to € 2,650 k. Sales in Other Diagnostics developed positively, rising by 17 % to € 987 k (prev. year: € 842 k). The sale of the Lung‐CAD product acquired in 2008 was one of the major contributors to this growth.
Capitalized development costs fell by 12 % year‐on‐year to € 691 k, mainly due to a reduced number of employees.
Costs continued to fall considerably in the first quarter. Personnel expenses amounted to € 2,298 k, 8 % down on the prior‐year quarter, despite a provision for obligations to the former Executive Board member Thomas E. Tynes being recognized in the first quarter of 2012. Other operating expenses also decreased to € 606 k, corresponding to a 17 % drop year‐on‐year.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) consequently increased by 6 % to € 1,500 k.
Depreciation and amortization came to € 878 k (3 % down year‐on‐year), resulting in EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of € 622 (clearly up by 22 % on the prior‐year figure of € 509 k) and a positive EBIT margin of 17 %.
The net financial result of € ‐90 k increased significantly from € ‐286 k in the prior‐year quarter, one of the contributing factors being improved earnings of the Dutch investment Medis. Pre‐tax earnings rose correspondingly to € 532 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 223 k). Taking into account income tax expenses of € 424 k, a figure on par with the prior year and which primarily originates from non‐cash deferred taxes, the first quarter of 2012 closed with consolidated net profit of € 108 k (prev. year: € ‐190 k). Earnings per share amounted to € 0.06 (prev. year: € ‐0.11).
Cash and cash equivalents went up slightly in the period under review from € 7,506 k as of December 31, 2011 to € 7,749 k as of March 31, 2012.
We confirm our forecast published in the Annual Report 2011, which expected Group sales in 2012 to stabilize at the same level as in the 2011 fiscal year, on account of business development in the first quarter of 2012. Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in 2012 are likely to be slightly up year‐on‐ year thanks to the sustained savings regarding operating expenses and the reduced number of employees. We also anticipate positive liquidity from operating activities in 2012, whereby a purchase price payment of € 3.0 million as part of the acquisition of the 49 % stake in MBS KG will be due for the last time this year, which will have a corresponding impact on liquidity.
After the change of the Chairman of the Executive Board and the leaving of Thomas E. Tynes, MeVis' previous strategic orientation is being critically evaluated and business activities refocused to provide the
Company with a new foundation for the future. As part of these refocusing measures, we already decided to discontinue the US subsidiary and to gradually transfer its functions to Bremen in the coming weeks. We plan to completely close the company by the end of the year at the latest. MeVis' future strategic orientation, in which the sustained business with industrial customers continues to play a major part, will be presented at the annual general meeting on June 12 at which we hope to welcome as many of you, dear shareholders, as possible.
At this point, we would like to thank all employees for their exceptional performance as well as our business associates, customers and shareholders for their confidence!

MeVis stock has recovered considerably since hitting a low at € 2.54 in November 2011, rising by 77 % in the first quarter of 2012, from € 3.79 to € 6.70 (in comparison: SDAX 18 %, Tec DAX 15 %).
The shareholder structure essentially remained unchanged in the course of the first quarter of 2012. As in the past, the three founders account for approximately 55 % of the share capital. The Company held 97,553 treasury shares, equivalent to 5.4 % on the balance sheet date. The remaining shares are predominantly held by institutional investors. The number of custodian accounts held increased by approximately 3 % during the course of the first quarter of 2012, indicating that interest from private investors is increasing.
Warburg reduced its stake to less than 1 % in the first week of May.
Fig.: Shareholder structure as at May 9, 2012
Through a joint venture with Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich (hereafter: "Siemens"), MeVis Medical Solutions AG (hereafter: "MMS AG") holds 51 % of MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG (hereafter: "MBC KG"). Under an agreement of October 21, 2008, the business division comprising industry customer Hologic, Inc., Bedford, USA (hereafter: "Hologic") was carved out of the joint venture and Siemens' stake was taken over by MMS AG. The company MeVis BreastCare Solutions GmbH & Co. KG (hereafter: "MBS KG") arising from this spin‐off has been fully included in the consolidated financial statements of MMS AG since November 1, 2008.
The business activities of the wholly owned subsidiary MeVis Japan K.K. were discontinued. The liquidation of the company started at the beginning of 2012 and will be completed by summer 2012. It was also decided to close the wholly owned subsidiary in the USA, MeVis Medical Solutions, Inc., located in Pewaukee, Wisconsin (hereafter: "MMS Inc."), founded in 2007. Its business activities will be transferred to MeVis Medical Solutions AG, Bremen, in the coming weeks. The complete closure of MMS Inc. is planned by the end of the year at the latest.
MMS AG has held around 41 % of the stock in Medis Holding B.V., Leiden (Netherlands) since the beginning of June 2010. The pro‐rata earnings of this equity interest are reported in the net financial result.
The MeVis Group develops, produces and markets innovative software applications for computer‐assisted medical imaging.
The specialized software applications from the MeVis Group help medical practitioners to analyze diverse image data produced by a variety of imaging modalities used in diagnosis and therapy. Our clinical orientation is governed by epidemiologically important diseases. Our primary focus is on image‐based early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, which involves the provision of support for surgical interventions and biopsies as well.
With a worldwide incidence of 1.3 million, breast cancer is the most common tumor disease. In Germany and Europe, breast cancer accounts for almost 30 percent of all cancers.
The software solutions support all the imaging modalities available. These not only include X‐ray modalities such as computed tomography, digital mammography and tomosynthesis, but also magnetic resonance imaging and digital sonography. Then there are the more modern imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography (PET), sonoelastography and molecular imaging. Such systems are used predominantly by radiologists, gynecologists, surgeons, cardiologists and medical technicians.
For reporting purposes and internal governance, the MeVis Group has two operating segments ("Digital Mammography" and "Other Diagnostics").
The Digital Mammography segment develops and markets software products which support breast diagnostic imaging and intervention. Aside from the original products for digital mammography, the 2009 financial year saw the arrival of new software applications for other imaging modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and tomosynthesis. These products are distributed to the industrial customers Siemens and Hologic. The Digital Mammography segment includes the joint venture MBC KG, operated in conjunction with Siemens AG, which was consolidated at 51 %, and the wholly‐owned subsidiary MBS KG, which includes the business with Hologic, Inc.
In addition to the business of breast diagnostics by means of magnetic resonance imaging conducted with Invivo, Corp., the Other Diagnostics segment also includes digital radiology products (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) etc.) for other types of diseases such as lung, prostate and intestinal disorders as well as the general image‐based analysis and diagnostics of radiology images. Other main activities in this segment include image and risk analysis for planning liver surgery and tumor diagnostics in connection with clinical studies of pharmaceutical companies (Distant Services business segment). The Other Diagnostics segment includes the parent company, MMS AG as well as the wholly‐ owned subsidiary MMS Inc.
Consolidated sales of € 3,637 k in the first quarter of 2012 were down approximately 2 % from the level of the previous year (€ 3,718 k). The structure has barely changed compared to the first quarter of 2011. While developments in the maintenance business declined by 2 % to € 1,513 k (prev. year: € 1,545 k), the new license business dropped by 4 % to € 2,011 k (prev. year: € 2,086 k). All in all, the new license business was unable to generate any growth momentum in the past quarter. Key factor in this development was the increasing market saturation in digital mammography in the USA, which has reached 83 % in the meantime (prev. year: 75 %).
Revenues are broken down into the segments Digital Mammography at € 2,650 k (prev. year: € 2,876 k) and Other Diagnostics at € 987 k (prev. year: € 842 k). With 73 % (prev. year: 77 %) the Digital Mammography segment continues to be the main source of revenues in the group.
The significant increase of the installed base of software licenses in the past once again led to stable and higher maintenance and service revenues. In the first quarter of 2012, the share of consolidated sales revenue accounted for by maintenance and service increased to 42 %, the same figure as in the previous year's period.
The decrease in staff costs to € 2,298 k (prev. year: € 2,510 k) is largely due to the lower number of employees compared to the same period last year. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, the MeVis Group had 157 employees. This corresponds to 126 full‐time equivalents (December 31, 2011: 164 employees or 134 full‐time equivalents).
Capitalized development expenses in the period under review amounted to € 691 k (prev. year: € 782 k). As in the previous year, these were staff costs incurred for developing new products.
Other operating expenses decreased year‐on‐year, totaling € 606 k (prev. year: € 727 k). This amount mainly breaks down into rental/leasing expenses of € 144 k (prev. year: € 152 k), legal and consulting costs of € 123 k (prev. year: € 87 k), maintenance/repair costs of € 47 k (prev. year: € 25 k) and travel expenses of € 35 k (prev. year: € 42 k).
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled € 1,500 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 1,413 k). The EBITDA margin increased accordingly to 41 % (prev. year: 38 %).
Depreciation and amortization increased as planned in the period under review, to € 878 k (prev. year: € 904 k). This comprised amortization of intangible assets of € 273 k (prev. year: € 259 k), amortization of capitalized development expenses of € 460 k (prev. year: € 529 k) as well as depreciation of property, plant and equipment of € 145 k (prev. year: € 116 k). The decrease in amortization on capitalized development expenses is attributable to the impairment losses recognized on December 31, 2011.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) saw a corresponding increase to € 622 k (prev. year: € 509 k). The EBIT margin also increased accordingly in the period under review, to 17 % (prev. year: 14 %).
The net financial result of € ‐90 k (prev. year: € ‐286 k) rose against the level of the previous year. The negative balance of income and expenses from translation differences dropped steeply, increasing the other financial result to € ‐54 k (prev. year: € ‐211 k). The other financial result was also significantly affected by the improved pro‐rate earnings of Medis, which amounted to € 25 k (prev. year: € ‐42 k). Interest income also fell to € 17 k in the period under (prev. year: € 21 k). Interest expenses decreased to € 53 k (prev. year:
€ 96 k), which is due to the lower interest payable, at matching maturities, on the remaining purchase price installments for the acquisition of the 49 % stake in MBS KG.
Earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to € 532 k in the period under review (prev. year: € 223 k). This corresponds to a return on sales of 15 % (prev. year: 6 %).
After‐tax earnings are impacted by income taxes and the deferred tax expenses of € ‐424 k reported here (prev. year: € ‐413 k), amounting to € 108 k in the period under review (prev. year: € ‐190 k). Accordingly, earnings per share came to € 0.06 (prev. year: € ‐0.11).
As of the balance sheet date, MeVis Group's liquid funds totaled € 7,749 k (December 31, 2011: € 7,506 k, comprising cash and cash equivalents and securities held for sale.
The balance sheet structure remained almost unchanged at the end of the first quarter compared with the end of the 2011 financial year. Assets of € 32,702 k (December 31, 2011: € 32,549 k) included € 19,762 k (December 31, 2011: € 19,884 k) in non‐current assets. The latter mainly consisted of intangible assets amounting to € 18,883 k (December 31, 2011: € 18,921 k). Current assets essentially comprised trade receivables of € 4,366 k (December 31, 2011: € 4,420 k), other financial assets of € 1,131 k (December 31, 2011: € 1,740 k) as well as cash and cash equivalents of € 6,918 k (December 31, 2011: € 6,076 k). The other financial assets mainly consisted of fixed‐income securities available for sale at short notice in the amount of € 831 k (December 31, 2011: € 1,430 k).
The Company's property, plant and equipment amounted to € 576 k at the balance sheet date (December 31, 2011: € 685 k).
Shareholders' equity as at March 31, 2012 amounted to € 20,802 k (December 31, 2011: € 20,729 k), mainly consisting of the capital reserve at € 28,079 k (December 31, 2011: € 28,079 k). The level of subscribed capital remained unchanged at € 1,820 k. The equity ratio is 64 % (December 31, 2011: 64 %).
In the period under review cash flow from current operating activities came to € 1,065 k (prev. year: € 3,582 k). It essentially comprised earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of € 622 k (prev. year: € 509 k), adjusted for depreciation in the amount of € 878 k (prev. year: € 904 k), the total of other non‐cash expenses and income of € ‐56 k (prev. year: € 92 k), changes in provisions of € 142 k (prev. year: € 169 k), taxes paid of € 30 k (prev. year: € 152 k), changes in trade receivable and other assets of € ‐53 k (prev.year: € 2,226 k) as well as changes in trade payables and other liabilities of € ‐513 k (prev. year: € ‐337 k).
In the period under review cash flow from investing activities came to € ‐134 k (prev. year: € ‐442 k) and mainly consisted of payments for capitalized development costs of € 691 k (prev. year: € 782), and payments received for the disposal of securities in the amount of € 600 k (prev. year: € 500 k).
Cash flow from financing activities, amounting to € ‐12 k (prev. year: € ‐4 k), consisted exclusively of leasing transactions.
Change in cash and cash equivalents in the period under review came to € 919 k (prev. year: € 3,136 k).
No material changes have occurred with regard to the risk situation of the MeVis Group since the beginning of the financial year. Therefore, the statements made in the risk report of the consolidated annual financial statements as of December 31, 2011 remain valid.
We confirm our forecast published in the Annual Report 2011, which expected Group sales in 2012 to stabilize at the same level as in the 2011 fiscal year, on account of business development in the first quarter of 2012. Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in 2012 are likely to be slightly up year‐on‐ year thanks to the sustained savings regarding operating expenses and the reduced number of employees. We also anticipate positive liquidity from operating activities in 2012, whereby a purchase price payment of € 3.0 million as part of the acquisition of the 49% stake in MBS KG will be due for the last time this year, which will have a corresponding impact on liquidity. We will further define our expectations and outlook during the course of the financial year.
We decided in April 2012 to close the subsidiary MeVis Medical Solutions, Inc. Its business activities will be transferred to MeVis Medical Solutions AG, Bremen, in the coming weeks. We plan to completely close the company by the end of the year at the latest.

MeVis Medical Solutions AG, Bremen Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012
The quarterly financial report of the MeVis Group was prepared in accordance with the provisions of § 37x (3) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) along with consolidated interim financial statements and a consolidated management report.
The consolidated interim financial statements of Mevis Medical Solutions AG, Bremen (MMS AG) as at March 31, 2012 were prepared in accordance with Section 315a (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) in line with the rules and regulations in force on the balance sheet date and approved by the European Union of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Accordingly, this interim report as at March 31, 2012 was prepared in conformity with IAS 34 "Interim Reporting". The notes to the consolidated interim financial statements are presented in abridged form in line with the option provided by IAS 34. The interim financial statements and interim management report have neither been audited nor subjected to accounting review.
The interim consolidated financial statements from January 1 to March 31, 2012 use the same recognition and measurement policies as the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the 2011 financial year. The interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 must therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011.
MMS AG's consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2012 including the previous year's figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the European Union as of December 31, 2011. The same accounting and valuation principles were applied that were used in preparing the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2011; in addition, IAS 34 "Interim reporting" was applied. Fresh announcements of the IASB newly applicable as of March 31, 2012 had no material impacts on the MeVis consolidated financial statements.

Of the 157 employees, 25 (prev. year: 27) are accounted for by the proportionately consolidated company MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG. The average figures include 36 testers (as a rule, students employed on a negligible part‐time basis) at the Group level (prev. year: 56).

The MeVis Group's net financial result as at March 31, 2012 amounted to € ‐90 k (prev. year: € ‐286 k). This comprises interest income from the investment of cash and cash equivalents of € 17 k (prev. year: € 21 k), interest expense of € 53 k (prev. year: € 96 k), the other financial result of € ‐79 k (prev. year: € ‐169 k) and the result derived from associates, amounting to € 25 k (prev. year: € ‐42 k). The other financial result primarily comprises the balance of exchange rate gains and losses of € ‐58 k (prev. year: € ‐230 k).
Income tax expenses were mainly the result of MBS KG's trade tax as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the differences between amounts included in the IFRS financial statements (for income and expenditure and assets and liabilities) and those included in the tax assessment.
Financial assets concern the equity interest of roughly 41 %, valued in accordance with the equity method, in Medis Holding B.V., Leiden (Netherlands), which was acquired in the first half of 2010.

| Derivatives | 27 | 8 |
| Loans granted and receivables | 7 | 22 |
| Other | 23 | 9 |

Derivatives comprise currency options, which were measured at market value with an impact on profit and loss. The securities are fixed‐interest corporate and government bonds.
In connection with the acquisition of the 49 % interest in MBS KG from Siemens AG and the subsequent full consolidation of MBS KG, the assets and liabilities of MBS KG were completely remeasured. Where these increases were attributable to the 51 % interest in MBS KG already held by the Group, the difference was recognized within the revaluation reserve. Amounts equaling the depreciation expense recognized on these assets are reclassified as retained earnings on a proportionate basis.

With reference to business transacted with related parties, there have been no material changes since December 31, 2011.
In comparison with the contingent receivables and contingent liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements for the 2011 financial year, no changes occurred in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
Earnings per share equal the profit on continuing activities or profit (after tax) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year. Earnings per share (fully diluted) are calculated on the assumption that all securities, stock options and stock awards with a potentially dilutionary effect are converted or exercised.
As the criteria for exercising the options had not been satisfied as of the balance sheet date, it can be assumed that no options had been exercised by the employees and that no shares had been awarded to entitled members of the Executive Board. Accordingly, they are not included in the calculation of earnings per share, which means that diluted earnings per share are identical to basic earnings per share.
The weighted average of shares outstanding is determined by taking account of shares redeemed and reissued subject to a chronological weighting.

| Consolidated net result for the period in € k | 108 | ‐190 |

| Diluted earnings per share in € | 0.06 | ‐0.11 |
In the first quarter of 2012, the activities of the MeVis Group are thus classified into the reportable segments of Digital Mammography and Other Diagnostics. The management of each of these segments reports directly to the Executive Board of MMS AG in its function as the responsible corporate entity.
Segment earnings and the result of operating activities remain the key benchmarks for assessing and controlling the earnings position of a particular segment. As a rule, the result of operating activities corresponds to earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
