Interim Financial Report as of September 30, 2008 InVision Software AG

InVision Software at a glance

In 1995 InVision Software was formed with a mission to provide every company with the best possible solution to its workforce management issues. InVision has never lost sight of this goal and has since become one of the global leaders in workforce management solutions and frequently sets technological trends in this field.

By using the InVision Software Group's products, the Group's international customers are able to optimise their staff deployment and increase productivity. At the same time, they can reduce planning and administrative costs and significantly improve employee motivation. Thus, investments made in workforce management solutions as a rule can be amortised within a few months, thereby yielding an impressive return on investment.

Since June 18, 2007, InVision Software has been listed on the Prime Standard segment of the German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt.

Group Management Report

Group Management Report to the Interim Financial Report as of September 30, 2008, according to IFRS (unaudited)

Specific events during the reporting period

In the first nine months of 2008, InVision Software AG continued engaging in the activities which were initiated in recent years. These activities focused, among other things, on strongly increasing its market share in enterprise-wide workforce management solutions by strengthening its international sales and consulting capacities as well as expanding the Group's technological position.

As of January 1, 2008, InVision had started building up the new global business division, "Channel & Alliance Management". The goal of this endeavor is to solicit and advise global alliances and to strengthen the Group's international sales and distribution units with the support of local sales and service partners.

In March 2008, the software solution, InVision Enterprise WFM, was awarded the 2008 Innovation Prize by the Initiative Mittelstand (The SME Initiative) in the category of "Human Resources", thereby prevailing over 50 competitors in this category.

In June of 2008, InVision began shipping out its Release 4.6 of InVision Enterprise WFM, which consisted of, among other things, additional components for time management, improved optimisation functions and numerous detail improvements.

In July 2008, InVision received a major order from a well-known European energy provider, worth a few million Euros.

In September 2008, InVision received a major order from an international financial services provider, worth a few million US dollars.

Results of operation

In the first nine months of 2008, Group revenues totaled TEUR 8,655 (previous year: TEUR 10,509) and were therefore 18 percent lower than in the previous year. This decrease was primarily the result of a 55 percent decrease in licence revenues down to TEUR 2,639 (previous year: TEUR 5,809). Service revenues increased by 38 percent up to TEUR 3,469 (previous year:

TEUR 2,507). Maintenance revenues increased by 16 percent up to TEUR 2,547 (previous year: TEUR 2,193).

In the first nine months of the year, licence revenues consisted primarily of revenues generated with existing customers, with new small and mid-sized as well as with large customers. Contrary to the first nine months of the previous year, no sales were reported from comparable major projects. The increase in maintenance revenues is a direct consequence of a higher maintenance base resulting from licence revenue with both new and existing customers in the previous year and of a high and stable level of customer loyalty. The increase in the Professional Services division's revenue is based on the expansion of service capacities compared to the first nine months of the previous year, but was weighed down by newly commenced pilot projects.

Revenues in the "Germany, Austria and Switzerland" region increased during the reporting period by 11 percent to TEUR 3,655 (previous year: TEUR 3,281). This region therefore makes up 42 percent of revenues (previous year: 31 percent). Revenues generated in other foreign countries totaled TEUR 5,000 (previous year: TEUR 7,228), thereby representing a decrease of 31 percent. Revenues generated in other foreign countries as a percentage of total revenue thus constitute 58 percent (previous year: 69 percent).

During the reporting period, the operating result (EBIT) was TEUR -5,996 (previous year: TEUR 1,311) factoring in EUR 1.2 million write-down of receivables. The EBIT margin was -69 percent during the reporting period (previous year: 12 percent).

For the first nine months of 2008, the Group result was TEUR -3,779 (previous year: TEUR 1,686), while earnings per share came to EUR -1.69 (previous year: EUR 0.75), in each case based on 2,235,000 shares.

Financial condition

During the reporting period, the liquid funds and securities were down to TEUR 12,959 (as of December 31, 2007: TEUR 16,807), primarily because of the negative cash flow generated from operating activity. As of end of September 2008, financial liabilities were TEUR 170 (as of December 31, 2007: TEUR 84).

The balance sheet total decreased by 9 percent and equaled by TEUR 25,497 (as of December 31, 2007: TEUR 28,005). The equity capital is now TEUR 20,259 (as of December 31, 2007: TEUR 24,094), and the equity capital ratio is now 79 percent (as of December 31, 2007: 86 percent). The equity capital therefore provides a solid basis for the continued growth of the Company.

The cash flow from operating activity reached TEUR -3,685 (previous year: TEUR -2,816) during the reporting period.

Research and development

For InVision, the continued improvement of its software and its development of new components in order to meet market needs are key competitive factors. Accordingly, the InVision Group attaches great importance to research and development. Not surprisingly, therefore, InVision is constantly investing in the development of its product lines for its enterprise-wide workforce management solution, InVision Enterprise WFM.

In the first nine months of 2008, Release 4.6 of InVision Enterprise WFM was completed and shipped out. The main product upgrades consist of additional components for time management, improved optimisation functions and numerous detail improvements.

Employees

On September 30, 2008, the InVision Group employed 235 workers worldwide, thereof 38 in sales, 105 in research & development, and 68 in Professional Services. Thus, the number of employees has risen by 35 percent in the last nine months (December 31, 2007: 174 employees). 98 employees worked in Germany and 137 employees worked outside Germany.

Risks and opportunities

Risks for the business development of InVision Group are described in the Group Management Report for Fiscal Year 2007 as well as in the Outlook section of this management report. The corresponding opportunities are described in the Outlook section of this management report and in the Group Management Report for Fiscal Year 2007.

Outlook

Given that overall economic development is currently very difficult to predict, InVision does not feel that it is in a position to publish a very reliable forecast for the entire year. Since the Company has encountered an abrupt change in the investment behaviour of many of its customers, the Executive Board can currently not rule out a decline in revenue for the entire 2008 year and expects to report a net loss in the current business year.

The reporting obligation applies to all transactions, which exceed a total sum of 5,000.00 Euro in a given calendar year.

Given the uniformity of the services provided by the companies of the InVision Group, no partitioning into separate mandatory reporting segments within the meaning of IAS 14 was undertaken.

Earnings per share

InVision Software AG has issued only ordinary shares. In the first nine months of 2008, a total of 2,235,000 issued shares were outstanding. Earnings per share for this period therefore equaled -1.69 Euro compared to 0.75 Euro in the first nine months of the previous year, based on the same number of shares.

Events after the balance sheet date

In the course of the fourth quarter of 2008, InVision has encountered an abrupt change in the investment behaviour of many of its customers and has therefore launched a programme to reduce costs in an effort to improve the cost-to-income ratio in 2009.

After the end of the reporting period, there were no further special events which are of material importance to the interim financial statements.
