The PSI Group realized turnover of 56.5 million euros in the first half of 2006. The operating result at -0.4 million euros was slightly below the result of the previous year. Consequent to the increased expenditures for the establishment of international sales, the share of exports in new orders doubled from 15% in 2005 to over 30%. In the middle term, PSI wants to increase the export share to 50% and become less vulnerable to the fluctuations of the German market. New orders received in the first half of the year rose in total by 26% to 72 million euros. The order backlog increased by 13 million euros to 83 million euros compared to 31 December 2005.
In the segment Network Management (energy, telecommunications, transport), turnover in the first half of the year rose by 2% to 32.7 million euros. The operating result improved to 0.8 million euros. Expenditures for the international sales in Eastern Europe and Asia are contained in the results for the division Energy in particular.
The segment Production Management (manufacturing, logistics) realized turnover of 21.8 million euros in the first six months. The operating result declined in comparison with the same period last year owing to groundwork in international projects to -36k euros. The establishment of steel business in China was continued during the first half of the year, and it was possible to gain an additional partner in Eastern Europe for the Logistics division.
The turnover in Information Management (government, service providers) fell to 2.0 million euros in the first six months, and the operating result was once again at -1.0 million euros. The PSI Management Board has decided to create an independent technology centre for service-oriented architectures (SOA) in this segment which will make its capacities available to the entire PSI Group. By making this decision, the Management Board keeps all of its options open for the further reorganization of the segment.
The expansion of the working capital caused liquidity as per 30 June 2006 to decline to 13.8 million euros.
The number of employees fell slightly due to the reduction in information management to 1,037 (30 June 2005: 1,054), whereby there were structural shifts favouring the successful business units Energy and Steel as well as the export business.
PSI shares developed positively with the market at the beginning of the second quarter and reached its yearly highest level of 7,15 euros on 8 May. Starting from the middle of May the shares could not isolate themselves from the negative market trend and fell due to profit-takings to 4.77 euros by 30 June - a plus of 16% in relation to the previous year closing price of 4,12 euros.
PSI received important export orders also in the 2nd quarter. Among these were orders from China, Austria, the Czech republic and the gulf region.
Following the increased investments in international sales in the first half, the positive trend in new orders continued at the beginning of the third quarter. In the second half of the year, the priority for PSI will be on increasing turnover and the operating results, and the order backlog, which has risen to 83 million euros, represents an excellent basis for achieving this goal. The order cost structure of the group will improve as of 2007 due to the increasing shift of integration tasks to local personnel and partners in the target regions.

The business activities of PSI AG and its subsidiaries relate to the development and sale of software systems and products fulfilling the specific needs and requirements of its customers, particularly in the following industries and service lines: utilities, manufacturing, telecommunications, transport, government authorities, software technology, internet applications and business consulting.

Allowances for bad debts are created when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance for bad debts is based on management's best estimate of the expected future cash flows based on reasonable assumptions and projections.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract. Costs and estimated earnings contain directly allocable costs (labor cost and cost of services provided by third parties) as well as the appropriate portion of overheads including pro rata administrative expenses.
Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and related amounts are billed as follows:
