Letter to the Shareholders

Dear Shareholders, Customers, Partners and Colleagues,

The competitiveness of our medical imaging products for use in diagnostics and interventional procedures has been well demonstrated during the first quarter of 2008. During the reporting period, the number of licenses sold within the important Digital Mammography segment has increased by 58% in comparison with the first quarter of 2007. In addition, we were able to increase the number of licenses sold within the Other Diagnostics segment by a solid 25%. As a result, consolidated revenues have increased by 34.6% in comparison with the first quarter of 2007 to T € 2,429 in spite of a considerable weaker US-\$. This development clearly emphasises our successful growth strategy and marks a new record in our company's history.

On 4 April 2008, we concluded an agreement with Hologic, Inc. for the acquisition of their CT Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) business – including a portfolio of software applications currently marketed under the name "R2 ImageChecker® CT". With the acquisition of this FDA registered product, we have augmented our existing product portfolio and aim to provide additional revenue and income. The product will be sold via our US-based subsidiary MeVis Medical Solutions, Inc. under the brand name "MeVis Visia™ CT Lung System". It is a dedicated software product for the use in the computer tomography based diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. The acquisition of this product will enable us to accelerate our development activities within this very important clinical field. The combination of this acquired product, along with our existing technology, will provide the most comprehensive, clinically relevant solutions for the detection, evaluation and treatment of pulmonary disease. Lung cancer accounts for the most cancer-related deaths. Therefore, we see a significant market potential for this product.

As of the beginning of 2008, we are required to capitalise development expenses as stipulated by accounting standard IAS 38. During the first quarter of 2008 we have capitalised product development expenses amounting to T € 492. This initial capitalisation of development expenses has to be borne in mind when comparing the financial statements of the MeVis-Group for the different periods.

Due to the ongoing positive development of revenues as well as due to the capitalisation of development expenses, we were able to increase total segment net profit by 42.2% to T € 1,172. The development of consolidated EBIT is positively influenced by this development but due to increased other operating expenses related to the planned expansion of

the operating activities of the MeVis-Group as well as due to the increased stock exchange reporting requirements, consolidated EBIT sank below the amount of the first quarter of 2007 of T€ 652 and amounted to T€ 311. Due to the IPO proceeds, generated in 2007, we were able to significantly increase net financial results to T€ 374. Consolidated net profit for the period under review amounted to T€ 394, signifying an 86.7% increase in comparison with the first quarter of 2007.

As reported in our annual report for the financial year 2007, the decline in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007, mainly due to one-off effects, did not have an impact on our current and future business development. In this context, we confirm our prognosis for the ongoing financial year 2008.

In order to increase our latitude in implementing our growth strategy, we have initiated a share buy-back programme on 4 March 2008 with the aim to acquire up to 5% of the subscribed capital of MeVis Medical Solutions AG until 30 August 2008. These shares will be acquired in addition to the treasury stock already owned by MeVis Medical Solutions AG.

We would like to express our gratitude towards the employees of the MeVis-Group for their extraordinary commitment as well as to our commercial partners, our customers and shareholders for their confidence in us.

Dr. Carl J.G. Evertsz Dr. Olaf Sieker Thomas E. Tynes

President & CEO CFO COO Sales and Marketing

The Share

Capital market environment

The development of the capital markets during the first quarter of 2008 has been marked by an unusually volatile trading environment. Although the major stock market indices started on a firm footing at the beginning of the year, due to mixed macroeconomic data as well as due to the subprime market crash and its effects on company earnings, the international stock markets had to cope with significant losses by the middle / end of January 2008. By the end of the first quarter 2008, these losses have not yet been completely recovered.

Development of the MeVis-share

The MeVis-share was unable to differentiate itself from the overall stock market environment and declined by approximately 60 % over the period under review. Whereas the share was quoted at € 48.50 on 3 January 2008, it reached an all time low on 26 March 2008 and was quoted at € 19.50. By the end of April the share was able to recover from these losses and was quoted at € 32.50.

To begin with, we ascribe this development during the period under review to increased market uncertainties caused by the volatile stock market environment as well as due to the overall poor market perception of our company by investors since its initial public offering in November 2007.

Furthermore, the publication of the our annual report, which reflected the one-off effects affecting the fourth quarter of 2007, caused an additional decline during the second half of February 2008.

As part of our ongoing efforts to increase our investor relations activities, we intend to improve the understanding of our particular business model as well as to draw attention to our solid economic condition and the underlying business perspectives.

In addition, the company initiated a share buy-back program on 4 March 2008 aimed at the acquisition of up to 5 % of the subscribed capital including the treasury stock currently held by the company. Over the course of the first quarter 2008, MeVis Medical Solutions AG acquired 9,864 shares. The average price per share amounted to € 21.58.

By buying back our own shares, we intend to gain additional latitude in the event of acquisitions, the purchase of intellectual property, investments and similar transactions aimed at implementing our growth strategy. The Management Board takes the view that the shares of MeVis Medical Solutions AG are significantly undervalued at a value below the IPO price of € 55.00.

Overview over the areas of business of the MeVis-Group

The MeVis-Group, which is comprised of the MeVis Medical Solutions AG as parent company, the subsidiary MeVis Medical Solutions, Inc as well as the 51% consolidated MeVis BreastCare GmbH & Co. KG, a joint-venture with Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, is selling software products and services within the setting of image based diagnosis and intervention. For reporting purposes the MeVis-Group is distinguishing two operational segments ("Digital Mammography" and "Other Diagnostics") as well as two geographic segments (USA and Europe / others).

The segment "Digital Mammography" develops, markets and sells software products for the use in image based diagnostics within the field of digital mammography. Products are being sold via OEM (original equipment manufacturers) -partners (Siemens Aktiengesellschaft and Hologic Inc.) to end-customers.

The segment "Other Diagnostics" is covering the areas of digital radiology – in particular the assessment of breast MRI data – and general evaluation of radiological images. In addition, this segment comprises the provision of image and risk analysis services related to the planning of liver surgery and tumor volumetry evaluation for pharmaceutical companies engaged in clinical trials.

Interim group management report for the first quarter of 2008

Development of group earnings

During the first quarter of 2008, group revenues are mainly driven by the dynamic development of license sales. Within the segment Digital Mammography, the number of licenses sold via OEM-partners increased by approximately 58% in comparison with the first quarter of 2007. Segment revenues increased to T€ 1,774 (Q1 2007: T€ 1,269). Segment net profit (excluding other operating income and expenses) amounted to T€ 1,443 (Q1 2007: T€ 738). Within the segment Other Diagnostics, the number of licenses sold increased by approximately 25 % in comparison with the first quarter of 2007. Segment revenues increased to T€ 655 (Q1 2007: T€ 539). Segment net profit (excluding other operating income and expenses), which reflects the increase in operating expenses due to the increase in staff costs as a result of the expansion of development activities, amounted to T€ -295 (Q1 2007: T€ 70).

During the period under review total revenues amounted to T€ 2,429 (Q1 2007: T€ 1,804). Of these, revenues generated within the geographic segment USA amounted to 89% (Q1 2007: 81%) with the remainder of 11% (Q1 2007: 19%) being generated within the geographic segment Europe / others. As the majority of revenues is being generated within the US-\$ region, the MeVis-Group has concluded currency hedging contracts to significantly offset exchange rate fluctuations.

The development of staff costs is mainly driven by the systematic increase in personnel due to the development of new products to be launched between 2008 and 2010. By the end of the first quarter of 2008 the MeVis-Group employed 139 employees (Q1 2007: 72 employees). These numbers equate to an average headcount over the period under review of 126 (Q1 2007: 68). A capitalisation of development expenses in accordance with IAS 38 was effected for the first time. Over the course of the first quarter 2008, expenses pertaining to product development amounted to T€ 492 (Q1 2007: T€ 0). The remaining staff expenses amounted to T€ 996 (Q1 2007: T€ 756).

During the reporting period the increase in other operating expenses of T€ 701 to T€ 939 (Q1 2007: T€ 238) is mainly due to financing obligations towards MeVis Research GmbH to the amount of T€ 143 (Q1 2007: T€ 0), to rental expenditure to the amount of T€ 130 (Q1 2007: 24), to legal and consulting costs to the amount of T€ 120 (Q1 2007: T€ 42) and due to expenses related to personnel recruiting to the amount of T€ 101 (Q1 2007: T€ 16). During the period under review, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to T€ 449 (Q1 2007: T€ 755). The EBITDA-margin amounted to 18.5% (Q1 2007: 41.9%).

Earnings before interest and taxes amounted to T€ 311 (Q1 2007: T€ 652), corresponding to an EBIT-margin of 12.8% (Q1 2007: 36.1%).

The reduction in EBITDA and EBIT is mainly due to the increase in staff costs as well as in other operating expenses due to the planned expansion of operating activities.

Net finanicial results have increased to T€ 374 (Q1 2007: T€ 15). The increase reflects the proceeds generated by the IPO in 2007, which have been invested in short term securities, as well as the positive change in value of financial instruments held for currency hedging purposes amounting to T€ 170 (Q1 2007: 35).

Consolidated earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to T€ 685 (Q1 2007: T€ 667), representing an EBT-margin of 28.2% (Q1 2007: 37.0%).

Consolidated profit for the period amounted to T€ 394 (Q1 2007: T€ 211), with taxes on income amounting to T€ 291 (Q1 2007: T€ 456). Undiluted / diluted earnings per share amounted to € 0.37 (Q1 2007: € 0.39).

Net worth and financial position

The MeVis-Group currently possesses sufficient financial resources for the financing of its growth plans. Over the period under review the balance sheet total decreased by T€ 301 to T€ 35.274.

The decrease in current assets by T€ 1,058 to T€ 31,618 is mainly due to the reduction in cash and cash equivalents by T€ 2,948 to T€ 25,523 and the increase in other financial assets by T€ 1,576 to T€ 2,135 due to the acquisition of marketable securities to the amount of T€ 1,784.

During the first quarter of 2008, non-current assets increased by T€ 757 to T€ 3,656. Of this increase T€ 422 relate to the increase in intangible assets to T€ 1,810. The increase is mainly due to the capitalisation of development expenses amounting to T€ 492.

Property, plant and equipment amounted to T€ 876 (31.12.2007: T€ 398).

Financial assets amounted to T€ 34 and relate to the 25.1% participation in the MeVis Research GmbH, which was acquired in 2007.

To the balance sheet date equity amounted to T€ 30,865 (31.12.2007: T€ 30,769). The subscribed capital amounted to T€ 1,820 (31.12.2007: T€ 1,820). The equity ratio has increased from 86.5% to 87.5%.

During the period under review cash flow from operating activities amounted to T€ 170 (Q1 2007: T€ 594). It is mainly comprised of the consolidated earnings before interest and taxes to the amount of T€ 311 (Q1 2007: T€ 652), adjusted for taxes paid to the amount of T€ 324 (Q1 2007: T€ 12), reductions in trade payables and other liabilities to the amount of T€ 322 (Q1 2007: increase of T€ 132), reductions in trade receivables and other assets to the amount of T€ 308 (Q1 2007: increase of T€ -239), interest received to the amount of T€ 273 (Q1 2007: T€ 10) and adjusted for other non-cash expenses to the amount of T€ -176 (Q1 2007: T€ -7).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to T€ -1,059 (Q1 2007: T€ -78) and is mainly comprised of cash outflows for investments in fixed assets to the amount of T€ 559 (Q1 2007: T€ 66) and the increase in intangible assets due to the capitalisation of development expenses to the amount of T€ 492 (Q1 2007: T€ 0).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to T€ -290 (Q1 2007: T€ -99) and is comprised of cash outflows for the acquisition of treasury stock to the amount of T€ 213 (Q1 2007: T€ 0) and cash outflows for the repayment of credit facilities to the amount of T€ 77 (Q1 2007: T€ 99).

During the first quarter of 2008, changes in cash and cash equivalents amounted to T€ -1,164 (Q1 2007: T€ 417). Liquidity per share amounted to € 14.02.

Risk report

Since the beginning of the financial year 2008, the risk exposure of the MeVis-Group has not changed in a significant manner. The Management Board does not see any risks threatening the continuance of the company. The statements made as part of the risk report contained in the annual report 2007 are thus still valid.

Outlook & chances

We confirm the future prospects and outlook stated within the consolidated annual statements of 2007 for the financial year 2008. We continue to expect that 2008 will be marked by a continuous growth in revenues, which will lead to a concomitant increase in earnings before taxes. We expect a continuation of this trend in 2009, which should be reinforced by additional product launches over the course of the year.

Post balance sheet events

On 4 April 2008, we concluded an agreement with Hologic, Inc. for the acquisition of their CT Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) business – including a portfolio of software applications currently marketed under the name "R2 ImageChecker® CT" (including intellectual property, patents, source-code and all business activities). The purchase price amounted to USD 9m, which is to be paid on an installment basis. The acquisition of this software product – wich has alreadiy been registered by the US regulatory authority FDA – is part of the strategy of the MeVis-Group to develop and market a dedicated, comprehensive software suite for the detection, evaluation and treatment of pulmonary disease. The "R2 ImageChecker® CT" product has already been sold to OEM-partners and end-customers by R2 Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Hologic, Inc. The MeVis-Group expects to realise initial revenues from the licensing of this product to end-customers during the third quarter of 2008.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended 31 March 2008

General disclosures

In preparing its consolidated interim financial statements, MeVis Medical Solutions AG, Bremen (hereinafter "MMS AG" or the company) has complied with its obligation under Section 315a of the German Commercial Code. The consolidated interim financial statements as at 31 March 2008 have been prepared in accordance with the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the form endorsed by the EU as formulated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London, as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Accordingly, the consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended 31 March 2008 have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting".

The notes to the consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in the abridged form as allowed for under IAS 34. The consolidated interim financial statements have not been subjected to an auditor's review.

Share buyback programme

During the period under review, MMS AG has purchased a total of 9,864 shares of treasury stock. The volume amounted to T€ 213. On the balance sheet date a total of 47,664 shares of treasury stock were held by the company, representing 2.62% of total shares.

Recognition and measurement

The basis for preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements for the period 1 January until 31 March 2008 is fundamentally identical to the principles of recognition and measurement adopted in the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2007. Therefore, the consolidated interim financial statements for the period under review are to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2007.

Until the financial year 2008, research and development expenses have been taken directly to the income statement. By the implementation of a project development system at the beginning of the year 2008, it is now possible to identify the current project phase of an individual development project and to identify directly attributable expenses. Insofar as these expenses are related to research activities, they are taken directly to the income statement. Development expenses are capitalised, if a newly developed software product or procedure can be clearly and individually defined, is intended for sale and the

product / procedure can be reasonable expected to generate future cash flows. Development expenses related to software products are capitalised after software specifications have been defined and agreed upon with the customer. In this context, direct and indirect costs that are incurred until the completion of the product and which are attributable to development activities, are capitalised and ensuingly depreciated over the useful economic life of the product.

Due to the implementation of the project development system and the related initial capitalisation of development expenses, the comparability of the consolidated interim financial statements is limited.

During the period under review a total of T€ 1,049 can be attributed to research and development expenses, of which T€ 492 have been capitalised as development activities.

In conformity with IAS 8 the following change in disclosure has been adopted: deviating from the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, currency translation gains and losses are reported within the financial results, if they are related to assets held in connection with the financing of the company. Figures for the prior reporting period have been adjusted accordingly.

Selected notes to the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement

1. Revenues

Of these, 47 employees (Q1 2007: 37) were employed by the proportionally consolidated company. The averages for the first quarter include 37 software testers (Q1 2007: 22).

On the other hand, staff costs have been reduced by T€ 492 due to the capitalisation of development expenses (refer to Note 5).
