The PSI Group increased its volume of new orders in the first quarter of 2006 by 31% to 42 million euros. The EBIT, at 8 TEUR, was once again balanced, sales were with 28.4 million euros at the same level as the previous year. The new orders in the areas of gas, electrical energy and heavy industry were especially positive, whereby the German market and exports contributed equally to the increase. The volume of orders increased by 11 million euros to 81 million euros compared to 31 December 2005.
In the Network Management segment (energy, telecommunication, traffic), sales increased by 3% to 16.0 million euros in the first three months. The EBIT improved to 0.4 million euros. In this segment the new orders increased in particular in the business units of gas/oil and electrical energy.
The segment Production Management (industry, logistics) increased sales by 4% to 11.4 million euros in the first three months. The EBIT decreased slightly compared to the same period for the previous year to 0.2 million euros. This figure contains additional expenditures for the expansion of the export business.
In Information Management (government, service providers) sales decreased to 1.0 million euros in the first three months, the EBIT was at -0.4 million euros. Compared with the previous year the number of employees in this segment has been reduced by 24%. PSI is negotiating with strategic investors for one individual activity of Information Management. The new environmental control station, which was developed on the basis of PSI energy control technology, proved itself in the recent flooding of the river Elbe so that increased requests for this can be expected.
The group's equity capital ratio was 33.2% on 31 March 2006. Liquidity decreased to 15.6 million euros.
On 31 March the PSI Group employed 1,049 persons (31 March 2005: 1,065).
PSI shares outperformed the market in the first three months. Our share price started the year with 4.12 euros and gained 44% in the first quarter to 5.95 euros. Throughout the first quarter the interest of institutional investors in PSI continued to grow.
PSI received important export orders in the first three months. Among these were orders from Russia, Kuwait, Austria, Sweden and Malaysia.
Cooperation agreements with Höft & Wessel AG and Peek Traffic B.V. have been signed in the traffic system business.
The strong tendency of orders in the first quarter continued in April. With that the basis for sales and earnings increases has been established for the next quarters. In the last weeks the workload has increased significantly in all of the PSI business units.

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:
