PSI Group Data as per 30 September 2005 at a Glance (IFRS)
The PSI Group had sales of 84.7 million euros in the first nine months of 2005. The EBIT for the first nine months increased to 0.1 million euros, the Group result to -0.5 million euros.
In the Network Management segment (Energy, Telecommunications, Traffic), sales in the first nine months increased by 4% to 46.6 million euros. The EBIT improved to 1.2 million euros.
The Production Management segment (Manufacturing, Logistics) was able to improve its sales in the first nine months by 8 % to 33.1 million euros. The EBIT improved compared to the same period of the previous year to 0.6 million euros.
The Information Management segment (Authorities, Service Providers) had sales of 5.0 million euros in the first nine months, the EBIT was –1.6 million euros. The poor market environment in the government and consulting business continued to deteriorate, which had a negative impact on the orders and earning situation in the segment.
New orders in the Group for the first nine months were at 79 million euros. In the Network Management segment a major order for 7 million euros, which was placed in September, was only booked in October as a result of the new, more rigid controlling guidelines that PSI has been using since 2004. The volume of orders on 30 September was, at 67 million euros, below that of the previous year.
With 14.9 million euros the liquidity on 30 September was above that of the same quarter for the previous year.
On 30 September 2005, the PSI Group employed 1,047 persons (30 June 2004: 1,131).
In the Network Management segment PSI established the prerequisites for further growth with the bundling and strengthening of the competence in the field of energy trading and sales systems. By increasing the share in the joint venture VATECH CNI there are good prospects for the expansion of the international activities in the Energy business.
The positive trend in Production Management has continued with new orders in Russia, Austria, Romania, China and Switzerland. In this segment the third quarter results include expenditures for the development of the new production control system for the steel market.
The Information Management segment suffered under the continuing extremely poor conditions in the government business and the weak market prices especially since the announcement of the advanced election to the German Parliament.
Signs of a normalization of the investment climate in the gas market can be seen in the Network Management segment following the introduction of the new Energy Act on 12 July 2005.
Information Management will be concentrating to a greater extent on the futureoriented subjects of Professional Services Automation (PSA) as well as control systems for disaster and environmental protection. In addition, the know-how and capacities of Information Management are being consistently more often used in other business units. Compared to the previous year, the number of employees in Information Management has decreased by 16%.
Following a significant increase in new orders in October, the PSI management expects a traditionally strong fourth quarter and an adjustment of the group structure in Information Management.

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:
