Group sales in the 1st quarter of 2010 were still impacted by uncertainty in relation to the consequences of the U.S. health reform on medical imaging systems. This emerged in particular in the form of a prolongation of the sales cycles for medical imaging diagnostic equipment. However, in the 1st quarter we once again succeeded in extending our sales revenues via our industry partners Siemens and Hologic in a year-on-year comparison.
This affirms the Company's views outlined in the recent consolidated management report for fiscal 2009 that a slight revitalization of the U.S. sales markets has been in evidence since the fourth quarter. However, the earlier market dynamics have not been recovered to date. In the 1st quarter, the digitalization ratio of all mammography facilities certified by the U.S. FDA amounted to 61% (1st quarter of 2009: 48%).
In this general environment, it was possible to boost sales revenues by a total of 7.5% in the first quarter of 2010, to reach €3,718,000 (previous year: €3,460,000). Sales in the Digital Mammography segment delivered a particularly good performance with an increase of 18% compared with the 1st quarter of 2009.
The current extension of the Group's market position with its new products in the fields of neurology, prostate and lung diagnostics proved difficult in the current market. As a result, Group sales in the segment of Other Diagnostics declined by 13% year-on-year, to €999,000 (previous year: €1,148,000). A contributing factor, in addition to the external influences indicated above, was the pending release of the latest version of our lung product, the Visia™ CT Lung System. Anticipation of the release of this latest product resulted in a decline of orders for the existing product in Q1. Launching the new Visia™ CT Lung System represents the first in a series of product introductions planned for the next several quarters, which are based on the company's proprietary MeVisAP technology platform. Several new products, to address applications in the medical fields of liver, breast, lung, neurological, prostate and colonoscopy, are expected to generate additional sales and profitability in this segment in the following two years.
The performance of the Other Diagnostics segment had a temporary adverse impact not only on consolidated sales but also on the earnings situation in the entire Group. Hence, despite an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) figure at the same level as a year earlier, amounting to €981,000 (previous year: €1,016,000), due to the depreciation and amortization attributable to the product launches last year it was only possible to generate an EBIT result (earnings before interest and taxes) of €149,000 (previous year: €437,000).
Despite an improvement in net financial income amounting to -€246,000 (previous year: €387,000), accordingly pre-tax earnings are also temporarily negative for the 1st quarter at -€97,000 (previous year: €83,000). Taking account of income tax expenditure, we therefore closed the 1st quarter with a loss of -€150,000 (previous year: €133,000), which corresponds to earnings per share of -€0.09 (previous year: €0.08).
However, the order portfolio in the months of April and May, especially for the new Visia™ product generation of our lung product affirms our forecast for the full financial year 2010, in which we anticipate double-digit sales revenue growth with a disproportionately low profitability trend.
Our subsidiary MeVis Japan KK established in Tokyo last year went into operation on 1 January 2010, generating initial sales revenues in the Other Diagnostics segment.
In the second half of January 2010, we announced the acquisition of a minority holding of approx. 14 percent in Medis Holding B.V., headquartered in Leiden, Netherlands. Medis is a leading producer and provider of software for quantifying diverse image data of the cardiovascular system. The market research unit Frost & Sullivan estimates the European market for digital cardiovascular imaging to be worth roughly 1 billion euros for the year 2012. Due to the high global epidemiological significance of cardiovascular diseases, the products, expertise and distribution channels of Medis represent a strategically important complement to our product portfolio. We will reach a decision in the current financial year on the acquisition of additional shares in Medis Holding, depending on whether certain conditions are met.
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.

In the first quarter of 2010, MeVis stock was trading at a median price level of 23 euros. While an annual high of 27.00 euros was temporarily registered early in February, at the end of the first quarter it was trading 21.91 euros. Across the quarter as a whole, the share price performance was down roughly -9% (compared with +8% for the SDAX and -3% for the TecDAX). As a result, MeVis stock did not manage to escape the generally declining trend of medical technology companies on the capital market during this period (DAXsubsector MedTech -24%). The reason for this is most likely to have been the high degree of investor uncertainty in this period with regard to the impacts of the U.S. health reform.
The shareholder structure essentially remained unchanged in the course of the first quarter of 2010. As in the past, the three founders account for approximately 55% of the share capital. The company has treasury shares equivalent to 6.75%. The remaining shares are predominantly held by institutional investors. The number of private investors increased by 21% compared to the first quarter 2009. We plan to boost this trend in a targeted manner in the future in order to further reinforce trading activities in MeVis stock.
Fig.: Shareholder structure as at April 30, 2010
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.
In addition, in 2007, MMS AG founded a wholly owned subsidiary in the USA, MeVis Medical Solutions, Inc., located in Pewaukee, Wisconsin (hereafter: "MMS Inc."). The company MeVis Research GmbH, treated as an associate until December 31, 2007, has not been included in the consolidated financial statements since June 30, 2008. The shares held were returned to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen at their book value. As a result, MeVis Research was incorporated in the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft effective January 1, 2009 and is now trading as Fraunhofer MEVIS – Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS (hereafter: "Fraunhofer MEVIS").
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.
Building on existing expertise, software applications are adapted for use in other oncological disorders, such as disorders of the lungs, liver, brain and colon. The software solutions support all the imaging modalities available. These not only include X-ray modalities such as computed tomography, digital mammography, 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 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 radiological and clinical end-customers via industrial partners (OEMs e.g. Siemens and Hologic). The Digital Mammography segment includes MBC KG – the 51% consolidated joint venture – and, since November 1, 2008, the wholly-owned subsidiary MBS KG, whose business had also been part of MBC KG before then.
The Other Diagnostics segment comprises digital radiology products (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), etc.) as well as general analysis of and diagnosis based on radiological 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. Other Diagnostics includes the parent company, MMS AG, and the wholly-owned subsidiary MMS Inc.
Consolidated revenues in the 1st quarter of 2010 were still impacted by uncertainty in relation to the consequences of the U.S. health reform on medical imaging systems. This emerged in particular in the form of a prolongation of the sales cycles for medical imaging diagnostic devices. However, in the 1st quarter the MeVis Group succeeded in expanding its sales revenues in relation to the 1st quarter of 2009 via its industry partners Siemens and Hologic.
The expansion in license-related sales in the Digital Mammography segment will also lead to increased maintenance and service revenue in the course of the financial year. In the 1st quarter of 2010, the share of consolidated sales revenues accounted for by maintenance and service increased to 27% (previous year: 10%).
It was possible to boost sales revenues by a total of 7.5% in the period under review, to reach €3,718,000 (previous year: €3,460,000). This breaks down into the segments of Digital Mammography at €2,720,000 (previous year: €2,312,000) and Other Diagnostics at €999,000 (previous year: €1,148,000).
The increase in staff costs to €2,784,000 (previous year: €2,547,000) is essentially due to the savings effect in the previous year resulting from the waiver by employees of all variable remuneration elements within the scope of the cost-cutting program for 2009. At the end of the 1st quarter of 2010, the MeVis Group had 228 employees. This corresponds to 182 full-time equivalents (previous year: 240 employees or 183 full-time equivalents).
Capitalized development expenses in the period under review amounted to €574,000 (previous year: €820,000). These break down to an amount of €502,000 for staff costs (previous year: €736,000) and €72,000 to costs of services purchased (previous year: €84,000).
In spite of the expansion of business activities, it was possible to lower the level of other operating expenses substantially once again thanks to cost-cutting measures, and it amounted to €617,000 in the first quarter (previous year: €812,000). Other operating expenses essentially comprise rental expenses of €151,000 (previous year: €160,000), travel expenses of €47,000 (previous year: €64,000), costs of preparing and auditing financial statements of €38,000 (previous year: €28,000), as well as expenditure on insurance policies, amounting to €38,000 (previous year: €22,000).
Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) came to €981,000 in the period under review (previous year €1,016,000), with the EBITDA margin declining accordingly to 26% (previous year: 29%).
Depreciation and amortization increased as planned in the period under review, to €832,000 (previous year: €649,000). This comprised amortization of intangible assets amounting to €316,000 (previous year: €296,000), amortization of capitalized development costs of €401,000 (previous year: €138,000) as well as depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounting to €115,000 (previous year: €145,000). The increase in amortization of capitalized development costs is attributable to the market rollout of new products in fiscal 2009.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) saw a corresponding decline to €149,000 (previous year: €437,000). The EBIT margin also declined accordingly in the period under review, to 4% (previous year: 13%).
Net financial income, amounting to -€246,000 (previous year: -€387,000) improved in comparison with the 1st quarter of 2009 thanks to the more favorable trend of the USD exchange rate, which is attributable to currency translation gains as well as the change in value of currency hedging instruments. As a result, other financial income improved to -€164,000 (previous year: -€342,000). The prorated share of the minority interest in Medis Holding B.V., Leiden, which was acquired in the second half of January, made a further contribution to the improvement in net financial income. Moreover, interest income increased to €101,000 in the period under review (previous year: €85,000), which is attributable to a switch of cash and cash equivalents for investments in fixed-income securities capable of being sold at short notice. Interest expenses increased to €183,000 (previous year: €130,000), which is due to the higher interest payable, at matching maturities, on the remaining purchase price installments for the acquisition of the 49% stake in MBS KG.
Pre-tax earnings amount to -€97,000 in the period under review (previous year €50,000), equivalent to a return on sales of -2.6% (previous year 1.4%). After-tax earnings are impacted by income taxes of -€54,000 (previous year: €83,000), amounting to -€150,000 in the period under review (previous year: €133,000). Accordingly, earnings per share came to -€0.09 (previous year: €0.08).
The MeVis Group has adequate financial resources to achieve its planned growth. As of the balance sheet date, liquid funds totaled €15,492,000 (prev. year: €15,093,000), comprising cash and cash equivalents and for-sale securities.
The balance sheet structure remained almost unchanged at the end of the 1st quarter compared with the end of the financial year 2009. Assets of €51,100,000 (previous year: €50,955,000) included €30,320,000 (previous year: €29,873,000) in long-term assets. Of these, the lion's share of €27,378,000 (previous year: €27,095,000) consisted of intangible assets. Short-term assets essentially comprise trade receivables of €3,768,000 (previous year: €4,222,000), other financial assets of €8,436,000 (previous year: €8,540,000) as well as cash & cash equivalents of €8,023,000 (previous year: €7,718,000). Of other financial assets, by far the bulk of €7,469,000 (previous year: €7,331,000) consisted of fixed-income securities available for sale at short notice.
The Company's property, plant and equipment amounted to €1,107,000 at the balance sheet date (December 31, 2009: €1,191,000).
The level of equity as at March 31, 2010 amounted to €32,806,000 (December 31, 2009: €32,607,000), of which the capital reserve accounted for the bulk of €28,478,000 (previous year €28,465,000). The level of subscribed capital remained unchanged at €1,820,000. Also, the equity ratio remained unchanged at 64% in comparison with the position as of December 31, 2009.
The cash flow from current operating activities came to €1,768,000 in the period under review (prev. year: -€236,000). It essentially comprises earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €149,000 (prev. year: €437,000), adjusted for depreciation of €832,000 (prev. year: €579,000), other non-cash expenses/income of -€366,000 (prev. year: -€172,000), interest received of €101,000 (prev. year: €278,000), taxes paid of €338,000 (prev. year: €2,872,000), changes in trade receivables and other assets of €948,000 (prev. year: €239,000) and changes in trade payables and other liabilities of €534,000 (prev. year: €843,000).
In the period under review, cash flow from investing activities came to -€1,627,000 (prev. year: €1,401,000) and mainly consisted of payments for capitalized development costs of €574,000 (prev. year: €856,000), and also payments for the acquisition of business shares and business units totaling €956,000 (prev. year: €1,113,000), of which €400,000 (previous year: €0) relate to the acquisition of the minority equity interest in Medis Holding B.V., Leiden.
Cash flow from financing activities, amounting to €164,000 (prev. year: -€813,000), consisted of payments received from repayment of (financial) credits net of payments made on (financial) credits totaling €164,000 (prev. year: -€351,000).
Change in cash and cash equivalents in the period under review came to €269,000 (prev. year: €352,000).
No material changes have occurred with regard to the risk situation of the MeVis Group since the beginning of the fiscal year. We perceive no risks that might endanger the existence of the companies in the MeVis Group. Therefore, the statements made in the risk report of the consolidated annual financial statements as of December 31, 2009 remain valid.
We confirm our outlook from the Group annual report as of April 9, 2010.
Given the broad product portfolio at Group level and the progressive improvement in the economic environment since mid-2009, we expect double-digit growth in consolidated sales in the current fiscal year. Digital Mammography will continue to account for approximately 70% of consolidated sales, and Other Diagnostics approximately 30%. Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) should increase disproportionately less than sales, as high expenses for upgrading the technology platform MeVisAP, incurred largely by MMS AG, as well as amortization on capitalized development costs will continue to weigh on them. Thus, the operating profitability of Digital Mammography will be markedly higher than that of Other Diagnostics in 2010 as well.
In light of the continued uncertainty about the economic trend, the implications of US health reform and increased exchange rate fluctuations, we will review our expectations in the course of the fiscal year and put our forecasts in more concrete terms.
No transactions of material relevance to the MeVis Group have arisen since the balance sheet date.

The quarterly financial report of the MeVis Group was prepared in accordance with the provisions of § 37x Abs. 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 31.03.10 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, 2010 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.
On January 15, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with Reiber Consultancy B.V., Rotterdam (Netherlands) on the combination of business activities, followed by a step-by-step capital participation in Medis Holding B.V., Leiden (Netherlands), (hereinafter also referred to as "Medis Holding") up to an extent of 100%. Medis Holding holds 100% of the share capital in Medis medical imaging systems, B.V., Leiden (Netherlands), (hereinafter also referred to as "Medis"). The capital participation in Medis Holding B.V. is possible in three defined steps by the year 2011 in connection with a subsequent earn-out arrangement. As a first step, a cash capital deposit of €400,000 was agreed and paid at the time of the contractual closing. This is equivalent to a capital stake of roughly 14%.
Within the scope of the agreed combination of business activities, Medis will receive access to the MeVisAP technology platform and to the MeVisLAB development environment, which represents the centerpiece of the multi-modal software solutions provided by the MeVis Group. Medis develops software solutions that enable cardiologists, technicians and researchers to carry out an exact quantification of cardio-vascular image data. The products from Medis are geared to facilitate imaging diagnostics of cardio-vascular afflictions by means of magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), computer tomography (CT), X-ray photographs and intravascular ultrasound diagnostics. Medis operates a subsidiary in Raleigh (NC/USA).
In the 1st quarter of 2010, Medis Holding B.V. generated after-tax earnings of €106,000. On account of the 14% participation, the MeVis Group has earnings from associates amounting to €14,800.
In September 2009, the company Mevis Japan KK was established in Tokyo as a wholly owned subsidiary. The company began trading in the first quarter of 2010 and generated €10,000 in sales revenues.
The interim consolidated financial statements from 1 January to 31 March 2010 use the same recognition and measurement policies as the IFRS consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009. The interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2010 must therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2009.
MMS AG's consolidated interim financial statements as of 31 March 2010 including the previous year's figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the European Union as of 30 September 2009. The same accounting and valuation principles were applied that were used in preparing the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2009; in addition, IAS 34 "Interim reporting" was applied. Fresh announcements of the IASB newly applicable as of 31 March 2010 had no material impacts on the MeVis consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives comprise forward exchange transactions and, where applicable, currency options, which were measured at market value with an impact on profit and loss.
These securities primarily are Pfandbrief bonds and corporate bonds.
In connection with the acquisition of the 40% 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, 2009.
In comparison with the contingent receivables and contingent liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009, 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 year under review. Earnings per share (fully diluted) are calculated on the assumption that all securities, stock options and stock awards with a potentially dilutory 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 Management 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.

In the 1st quarter of 2010, 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 Management 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).
The following table contains a reconciliation of the results of operating activities of the segments with consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
