Comments of the Management Board

terly reports, fiscal 2005 has "The situation within the IT sector, particularly in Germany, continues to be characterized by reluctance on the part of customers to invest in new systems. There was no sign of a reversal of this trend in the third quarter of 2005. As outlined in previous quar been dominated by cost reduction, consolidation, and integration within the framework of our "GaP'05" program. Our objective is to create a corporate structure in which we can unlock our potential within the area of earnings and growth in a more decisive manner," said Dietmar Breyer, CEO of Beta Systems Software AG, commenting on the results.

Mr. Breyer added, "We are committed to completing the current process of Group restructuring in a timely manner, the prime objective being that we can kick off with a new organization and optimized cost structures in fiscal 2006. We are currently anticipating a sustained reduction in our break-even threshold by up to Euro 5 million. With regard to our outlook for 2005, it should be noted that the revailing market conditions and expenses associated with restructuring were taken into e ur ." p consideration. On this basis, we are able to reaffirm our forecast. We remain confident that w can achieve a year-on-year increase in revenue from continuing operations. At the same time, o pre-tax result from continuing operations, adjusted for non-recurring items, is expected to reach break-even level. Owing to the one-off gain on disposal of our Outsourcing Service business unit, an area discontinued as part of the sale, net income for the year as a whole is expected to rise

Merger of Kleindienst Datentechnik into Beta Systems comes into force

The merger of Kleindienst Datentechnik AG into Beta Systems Software AG officially came into force on August 25, 2005, upon entry into the Commercial Register of Beta Systems at the District Court of Charlottenburg, Berlin.

Effective from the date of coming into force, Kleindienst ceased to exist as a going concern, with the entirety of Kleindienst assets passing to Beta System.

The share-exchange ratio for the merger was set at three Beta Systems shares for five Kleindienst shares, i.e. 0.6 Beta Systems shares for each Kleindienst share. The exchange of Kleindienst shares was performed automatically by the custodian banks and Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, as fiduciary and was free of charge for Kleindienst shareholders entitled to conversion.

Thus, the license originally granted to Kleindienst shares for trading on the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Securities Exchange (General Standard) ceased to be valid on the date the merger came into force. The listing of former Kleindienst shares in the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Securities Exchange was discontinued effective from the end of August 26, 2005. The 258,543 new shares of Beta Systems were included in trading on the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Securities Exchange (Prime Standard) effective from September 1.

Karl-Joachim Veigel leaves the company

Karl-Joachim Veigel, former CEO of Beta Systems Software AG, vacated his post effective from September 21, 2005, with the consent of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board wishes to thank Mr. Veigel for the outstanding level of commitment displayed and the successful contribution over the last five years. Dietmar Breyer, former Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, has assumed the responsibilities of CEO for a transitional period. Effective from October 4, 2005, the Supervisory Board appointed Mr. Kilian Krieger as General Representative responsible for Finance, Controlling, Purchasing and Human Resources.

GaP'05 restructuring program continues unabated

The process of corporate restructuring initiated as part of the "Growth and Profit 2005 - GaP'05" program has continued at pace and is to be completed by the end of the year. In the course of reorganization, the company will be structured into the three business units IDM (Identity Management), DCI (Data Center Infrastructure) and ECM (Enterprise Content Management), embracing market-driven strategies geared towards profitability and growth. For this purpose, the marketing, sales, and service functions previously pooled within the company will be allocated directly to the respective business segments. The profit center structure is designed to provide segment management with direct, more self-determined operational and financial control. The new corporate structure is aimed at achieving greater interconnection with client enterprises and increasing the level of specialization within the company's sales and service teams in order to tailor their activities more precisely to the specific requirements of the various market segments.

Effective from October 1, 2005, Rudolf Huber (45) has taken charge of the new Identity Management business unit. As Vice President IDM, Mr. Huber is responsible for expanding IDM on a global scale. Rudolf Huber has a proven track record spanning 17 years within the IT industry. He has held senior management positions at a number of international companies such as Attachmate, NetSoft, and Consul Risk Management, covering all areas within the value chain from Sales and Marketing to Finance and Human Resources. In his senior management capacity, he has had the opportunity to build extensive sales, marketing, and support structures at international level. Having successfully shaped the expansion of international Identity Management specialist Entact Information Security, Rudolf Huber went on to become Managing Partner of the consulting company Arise International, Munich/Dallas, where he advised suppliers of security software on issues relating to sales development in Europe.

Cost of restructuring program

In the fiscal year to date, total expenses associated with the integration (incl. merger expenses) as well as Group-wide restructuring and cost-reduction measures within the framework of "GaP'05" amount to Euro 3.8 million. Additional costs are expected to be incurred within this area by the end of the fiscal year.

Financial Position, Financial Performance, and Cash Flows

The information contained in the following sections refers to the consolidated results of the Beta Systems Group, including the former Kleindienst Group.

Development of Revenue

As a supplier of complex IT enterprise solutions, Beta Systems generates revenues in the area of software licenses, maintenance agreements, and services. In addition, revenues within the area of ECM/Input Management are derived from company-produced hardware (e.g. scanner systems) and hardware reselling (e.g. PC workstations and servers). As the reporting structure used by former Kleindienst does not differentiate between the categories of revenue outlined above, revenues generated by Kleindienst as well as manufacturing costs and costs of goods sold are not reported on this basis. Therefore, the relevant figures for revenues generated by Kleindienst are reported separately under revenues from project business in the ECM/Input Management area (i.e. hardware solutions, software licenses, maintenance agreements, and services).

Revenues declined to Euro 21.7 million in the third quarter of 2005, from Euro 23.5 million in the same period a year ago. This was attributable to weak demand within the IT sector, particularly in Germany. The companies within the Beta Systems Group finalized a number of contracts with major international clients, including Toyota (automobiles, United Kingdom), Rural Servicios Informáticos (IT services, Spain), VISA (credit institute, USA), and Global Value (insurance, Italy). In Germany, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (public administration), TUI (tourism), Finanz-IT (IT services), and LBS Baden-Württemberg (building and loan association) concluded agreements with the Beta Systems Group.

Revenues from licenses decreased by 13.0% to Euro 3.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, down from Euro 3.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The decline is mainly attributable to lower sales from new licenses and license upgrades. At Euro 5.8 million, maintenance revenues generated in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 were slightly lower than in the same period a year ago (Q3 2004: Euro 6.1 million). Revenues from services increased by 7.2%, from Euro 1.5 million in the third quarter of 2004 to Euro 1.6 million in the period under review. Revenues generated from project business within the area of ECM/Input Management declined to Euro 10.8 million (Q3 2004: Euro 12.0 million).

Performance of the Business Segments

Segment reporting is based on the business segments Data Center Management, Identity/Security Management, Storage Management, and Enterprise Content Management, latter comprising the sub-categories ECM/Output Management and ECM/Input Management. The Enterprise Content Management segment includes the results of the Beta Systems business unit ECM/Output

Management, while the sub-category ECM/Input Management includes the results of the former Enterprise Systems business unit operated by Kleindienst.

Revenue generated by the business segment Data Center Management declined to Euro 3.1 million, while the operating result was lower year on year at minus Euro 0.1 million. The Identity/Security Management segment posted an operating loss of Euro 1.0 million in the third quarter of 2005. At the same time, revenues within this area increased to Euro 3.7 million. The Storage Management business segment recorded revenues of Euro 0.5 million and an operating loss of Euro 0.1 million. Revenues generated by the ECM/Output Management business segment amounted to Euro 3.5 million, while the operating loss stood at Euro 0.3 million. ECM/Input Management reported a decline in revenue to Euro 10.8 million, with an operating loss of Euro 2.1 million.

Gross Profit

Gross profit declined to Euro 8.8 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with Euro 11.9 million in the same period a year ago. As the reporting structure of former Kleindienst Datentechnik AG did not differentiate between the various categories of cost of sales, the manufacturing costs and costs of goods sold attributable to Kleindienst for ECM/Input Management project business are reported separately. The gross profit margin declined to 40.6% in the third quarter of 2005, down from 50.7% in the same period a year ago. This was attributable principally to increased manufacturing costs associated with ECM/Input Management solutions developed within the framework of project business. Within this context, the lower level of capacity utilization as a result of sluggish demand had an adverse effect. In addition, Beta Systems recorded a negative gross-profit contribution from Services revenues.

Costs and Expenses Development

Operating expenses declined by Euro 0.8 million to Euro 12.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with Euro 13.3 million in the third quarter of 2004, despite non-recurring items associated with the integration as well as Group-wide restructuring and cost-reduction measures implemented as part of the "GaP'05" program. The non-recurring items outlined above amounted to Euro 1.9 million in the third quarter of 2005 and were distributed across the full range of operating costs. The level of operating expenses in relation to revenue was slightly higher in the period under review, increasing from 56.6% in the third quarter of 2004 to 57.7% in Q3 2005.

Income

8

In the third quarter of 2005, Beta Systems recorded an operating loss from continuing operations of Euro 3.8 million, compared with an operating loss of Euro 1.3 million in the same period a year ago. The loss before interest and taxes from continuing operations (EBIT) amounted to Euro 3.8 million in

the third quarter of 2005, compared to a loss before interest and taxes of Euro 1.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. Interest expense was close to zero in the period under review, as in the previous year. The loss before taxes and minority interests from continuing operations (EBT) amounted to Euro 3.8 million in the third quarter of 2005 (Q3 2004: loss of Euro 1.4 million). The reported income from minority interests recorded in fiscal 2005 is in connection with the merger-related swap of ownership interests held in Kleindienst by minority shareholders.

Income Tax and Net Result

Taking into account a tax credit of Euro 2.2 million in Q3 2005, the net loss for the third quarter of 2005 was Euro 2.0 million, or Euro 0.47 per share, compared with a net loss of Euro 0.7 million, or Euro 0.18 per share, in the third quarter of 2004. In the third quarter, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,279,405 shares (Q3 2004: 4,055,652 shares).

Financial Position and Shareholders' Equity

As at September 30, 2005, Beta Systems had cash and cash equivalents amounting to Euro 8.3 million and shareholders' equity of Euro 29.1 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of Euro 11.5 million and shareholders' equity of Euro 28.4 million at December 31, 2004. Long-term borrowings within the Beta Systems Group were reduced from Euro 16.5 million at December 31, 2004, to Euro 6.5 million at the end of the quarter under review as a result of principal repayments.

Personnel

The staff complement within the Beta Systems Group declined from 1,022 at the end of fiscal 2004 to 741 at September 30, 2005. The reduction in staffing levels was attributable to measures implemented with the purpose of focusing on the company's core business (disposal of one business unit) as well as measures aimed at increasing efficiency levels in administration, sales, and development.

Conference Call

The company will comment on the financial results for the third quarter of 2005 as part of a conference call to be held on Thursday, November 10, 2005. The conference call will take place at 11:00 CET and can be accessed by calling +44 (0)20 7365 1850 (Access Code: "betasystems").

Beta Systems Software AG and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (According to IFRS; Euro in thousands, except share data) September 30, 2004 and 2005 (unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business — Beta Systems Software Aktiengesellschaft and subsidiaries ("Beta Systems" or "the Company") develops, markets and supports enterprise automation software solutions for mainframe computers and other hardware managed by information systems departments of large corporations, government agencies and other organizations. The Company's products are designed to increase the productivity of data centers by automating manual tasks and optimizing the use of hardware resources. The Company's products feature a common comprehensive architecture which facilitates the development and integration of the Company's products across applications. The ECM/Input Management business segment develops and sells Document-Management-Solutions for various sectors and especially for the payment processing in the banking sector. The Company's principal offices are located in Berlin, Germany, and subsidiaries are located throughout Europe, Africa and North America.

Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim financial reports. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation (normal recurring accruals) were included. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 2005. For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (according to US-GAAP).

Principles of Consolidation — All companies in which Beta Systems has legal control are fully consolidated. The effects of intercompany transactions are eliminated. Minority interests represent the share by outside companies in the earnings of the Kleindienst Group.

Foreign Currencies — The balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries are translated to Euro on the basis of period-end exchange rates, while the income statements are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income.

Revenue Recognition — Product license revenue, consisting of new product licenses and CPU upgrades, is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. According to IFRS, regulations for the allocation of the purchase price for multiple element licence contracts do not exist. If a licensing agreement includes multiple elements, revenues are allocated to those elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of Fair Value. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance period.

Service revenue consists principally of installation and training services and is recognized as the services are performed. In addition to the existing standard software product range, the Company also offers products to meet the demand for individually customized software solutions. Revenues from these construction contracts are recognized according to the percentage-of-completion method, a method requiring the following criteria to be satisfied for revenue recognition: rights and responsibilities must be clearly defined in the contract, pre-project calculation of costs and revenues must be possible, the final profitability of the project must be able to be determined reliably and objectively, i.e. further projected costs and revenues must equally be able to be estimated accurately, risks may not hinder the ability to deliver the contract (e.g. credit risks, legal

considerations), and payment by the customer must be probable. The Company uses the Costto-Cost Method to determine the percentage of completion.

Research and Development and Capitalized Software Development Costs — Research and development costs are charged to expenses as incurred. The development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products takes place incrementally and iteratively. The research phase of an internal development project to create a software product cannot be distinguished from the development phase, accordingly expenses cannot be distinctly allocated to these phases. The Company treats these expenditures as if they were incurred in the research phase only, in accordance with IAS 38.52 and IAS 38.53.

Acquired capitalized software development costs are amortized each reporting period by the greater of (i) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software (normally five years) or (ii) the ratio of current gross revenues from sales of the software to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from sales of that software.

At each balance sheet date, unamortized acquired capitalized software development costs are compared to net realizable values of those products to determine whether an impairment exists. If an impairment has occurred, the amount by which the unamortized capitalized software development costs exceed the net realizable value (the present value of future estimated sales of the products less costs to sell) of that asset is written off.

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are charged to expenses as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and highly liquid certificates of deposit and investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash — As at December 31, 2004 an amount of EUR 705 was restricted in connection with a liability towards a customer. An advance payment was delivered on a construction project – this was utilized in accordance with the progress of the project.

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of historical costs or net selling price, considering the lower of cost or market principle. Inventory risks are accounted for by adequate reserves for slow-moving, obsolete and damaged items where appropriate. Obsolote allowances are reversed.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment is valued at acquisition cost and subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets' useful lives as follows: building improvements — five to ten years; computer equipment — three to five years; facilities and office equipment — three to thirteen years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — Intangible assets including goodwill are valued at acquisition cost, net of impairments. At each reporting date the Company assesses the recoverability based on future cash flows in accordance with IAS 36.

Other Non-Current Assets — Other non-current assets include an investment intended to fund a portion of the Company's pension obligations. The Company accounts for such investment at cash surrender value. In addition, other non-current assets include tax receivables and receivables from unbilled invoices.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Fair Value of long-term debt does not vary materially from its carrying value. The carrying value of other financial instruments approximates their Fair Value because of the short maturity of such instruments.

Stock Option Plans — The Company accounts for its stock incentive plans in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2. Thus, share-based payments are expensed as personnel costs with their Fair Value. The simplification rule under IFRS 2.60 is not applied.

Net Loss Per Share — The net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per ordinary share is calculated in accordance with IAS 33 to reflect the diluting effect of shares.

The following is a reconciliation from basic net loss per share to diluted net loss per share from continuing operations:

2004 Three months to
September 30,

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Restructuring

Measures to reduce operating expenses by streamlining business processes were introduced during the year. This included staff reduction measures based on on a social compensation program. The staff reduction plan concerns 25 employees at the Berlin location as follows: administration and shipping - 10 employees, marketing - 1 employee, service and development - 14 employees. The restructuring in the development department affects the ECM Output und Data Center business units. The measures are expected to be completely implemented by the end of the year.

As at September 30, 2005 costs for severance payments were accrued and expensed in the income statement as follows:

As at September 30, 2005
Cost of Sales 517
Selling Costs 279
Research and Development Costs 1,377
General Administration Costs 893
Total Restructuring Costs 3,066

The amount was accrued during the second and third quarters of 2005. All of the above costs relate to the reduction of staff. Further material costs are not expected to incur.

Development of the accrued liabilities for staff restructuring costs during 2005 is as follows:

As at September 30, 2005
Total Accrual established during the Year 3,066
Use of the Accrual (87)
Reversal (262)
Balance of the Accrual 2,717

3. Business acquisition and merger of Kleindienst Datentechnik AG

On March 18, 2004, the Company concluded three acquisition- and assignment contracts for the purchase of altogether 2,052,251 shares of Kleindienst Datentechnik AG, Augsburg, Germany ("Kleindienst") at an acquisition price of EUR 7.50 per share. Transfer of ownership became effective upon payment of the purchase price on April 1, 2004.

As at June 30, 2005 Beta Systems Software AG had aquired a total of 3,569,095 shares in Kleindienst Datentechnik AG at an average unit price of EUR 7.50 per share (September 30, 2004: 3,522,616 shares). This represents 89.23% of the total share capital in Kleindienst Datentechnik AG.

Kleindienst Datentechnik AG and its subsidiaries were fully consolidated into the Beta Group for the first time as at April 1, 2004.

On April 22, 2005 the share exchange ratio for the planned merger of Kleindienst Datentechnik AG into Beta Systems Software AG was agreed on by both companies. According to this, Kleindienst shareholders received 0.6 Beta Systems shares for each Kleindienst share.

The share exchange ratio was determined by PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main in accordance with the Ertragswertverfahren (discounted future earnings method). The appropriateness of the process and the finding were audited by Warth & Klein GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, independent merger auditors appointed by the Court.

The merger was voted on at the Annual General Meetings held by Beta Systems AG on June 14, 2005, viz. by Kleindienst Datentechnik AG on June 13, 2005. The merger became legally effective on August 25, 2005, the date of registration in the commercial register. With simultaneous effect Kleindienst Datentechnik AG was dissolved.

The ordinary share capital was increased by 258,543 shares as a result of the merger. The corresponding increase in paid-in capital was based on the market value of EUR 11.50 per share, the value of the share ruling on the merger date, and amounted to EUR 2,312. Against this, transaction costs in the amount of EUR 856 were accounted for.

A goodwill in the amount of EUR 673 resulted from the increase in share capital and the dispoal of minorities.

4. Sale of the Outsourcing Service business unit

On April 10, 2005, the Outsourcing Service business unit, inclusive of all shares in the DS Dokumenten Service Holding GmbH were sold to the Transaktionsinstitut für Zahlungsverkehrsdienstleistungen AG (TAI AG), a subsidiary of the DZ Bank AG. The purchase price amounted to EUR 10,350. The sale was effective retrospectively to January 1, 2005.

Outsourcing Service represented an independent business unit as an external service provider within the group of Kleindienst companies. Beta Systems continued the business unchanged and

as a result Outsourcing Service represented an independently managed business unit within the Beta Group.

The disposed net asset amounted to EUR 3,418. The gain after tax of the disposed asset allocated in the income statement amounted to EUR 5,846. The operating result and income taxes of the business unit is shown in the income statement under "(Income) Loss from discontinued operations, less income taxes". Amounts for the comparative previous year were adjusted accordingly.

6. Change in Management

Effective September 21, 2005, Mr. Karl-Joachim Veigel, Chairman of the Management Board, resigned from his position within the Company. The Supervisory Board appointed Mr. Dietmar Breyer to temporarily take over the function held by Mr. Veigel, and further announced the appointment of Mr. Kilian Krieger effective from October 4, 2005. Mr. Krieger will be appointed senior executive furnished with general powers of attorney and will manage the corporate areas Finance, Controlling, Purchasing and Human Resources.

The restructuring-, cost reduction- and integration measures introduced during the year will continue to be implemented unchanged.

7. Change of Accounting Principles to IFRS

The Company applied the IFRS reporting standards for the first time in its financial statements as at June 30, 2005. The transition date applied to the accounting standards is January 1, 2004. All balance sheet items, and all items of the income statements for the comparative periods were retrospectively adjusted in accordance with IFRS 1.

The conversion affects the accounting of all assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS, the elimination of assets and liabilities not to be accounted for under IFRS, the reclassification of assets and liabilities which do not correspond to IFRS definitions, and the valuation of assets and liabilities according to IFRS.

All IFRS conversion adjustments were allocated to retained earnings in the Company's opening balance as at January 1, 2004.

Compared with the previously applied Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the US (US-GAAP) the Company made the following adjustments and applied the following exemptions:

IFRS 2 "Share-based payment" states that a company has to recognize share based payments at

Fair Value over the term of service rendered. Under certain conditions share based payments were recognized under US-GAAP with the Intrinsic Value Method or the Fair Value Method, which is similar to IFRS 2. The intrinsic value is the difference between the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant, and the price payable by the employee. The Company applied the Intrinsic Value method and accordingly expensed an additional EUR 780 in first nine months of 2004 to the income statement. No adoption adjustments exist in the Company's income statements for the current year, as no share- or option-based rights exist. The exemption of IFRS 2.60 was not applied.

In the event of the acquisition of an entity which is not wholly acquired, all assets and liabilities have to be be allocated at Fair Value, in accordance with IFRS 3 " Business Combinations". Under US-GAAP the assets and liabilities were allocated at Fair Value only according to the equity method in accordance with the ratio of the equity attributable to the acquiree.

Effective April 1, 2004, the Company acquired the majority numer of shares in Kleindienst Datentechnik AG. The Company executed further purchase in stages until June 30, 2005 with the result that ca. 10% of Kleindienst Datentechnik AG shares were held by minority interest holders at that date. The undisclosed reserves in respect of the acquired assets attributable to minority interests, net of adjustments for the goodwill, amounted to EUR 5,551 as at April 1, 2004. This was, following the registered merger of Kleindienst Datentechnik AG into Beta Systems AG on August 25, 2005, fully reversed. Additional amortization costs for the reporting period amounted to EUR 842 (2004: EUR 754).

IAS 19, "Employee benefits" states that a partial retirement agreement accrual needs to be recorded for probable future obligations due by the Company to employees.

Previously, according to US- GAAP, the evidence of a contractual agreement was required. Accordingly, additional future obligations in the amount of EUR 526 were recorded as from April 1, 2004 in consideration of the likelihood of future rights by employees (IAS 19.140). An additional gain of EUR 22 and EUR 33 resulted from the reversal of the accrual for the first nine months of 2004 and 2005, respectively. The valuation of the pension liabilities in comparison with US-GAAP did not result in a material difference.

The Company previously capitalized software development costs in accordance with SFAS 86 when technological feasibility of the research and development projects was achieved. An exact distinction between research and development was not required. Thus, software production costs were capitalized until general availability of the product.

IAS 38 "Intangible assets", in contrast, requires a distinct separation between the research and development processes for capitalization of software development costs under IAS 38.52, with a correspondingly separate allocation of research and development costs The Company's research and development project processes are iterative and incremental and no clear disctinction can be made between them.

The Company thus allocated all previously capitalized software costs and corresponding accumulated amortization, amounting in total to a net value of EUR 3,142 against retained earnings in the opening balance sheet as at January 1, 2004.

The Company thus records no further capitalization of software development costs nor corresponding amortization in the results for the nine months to September 30, 2005. The results for the comparative prior year period were adjusted accordingly. The net effect for this period in 2004 amounted to EUR 512.

The valuation of balance sheet items in accordance with IFRS results in adjustments for deferred taxes. These relate primarily the capitalized software costs, the capitalization of undisclosed reserves for minority interests, and the accruals for retirement obligations. The effects of these

adjustments are disclosed in detailed reconciliations below.

The Company does not avail itself of the following exemptions under IFRS:

  • Fair value or revaluation of deemed costs (IFRS 1.16-19)
  • Employee benefits (IFRS 1.20)
  • Cumulative translation benefits (IFRS 1.21)

The following exceptions are not relevant to the Company:

  • Compound financial instruments (IFRS 1.23)
  • Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (IFRS 1.24-1.25)
  • Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities 1.1.2001 (IFRS 1.27)
  • Hedge accounting (IFRS 1.28)
  • Estimates (IFRS 1.31-1.34)
