Letter from the Board of Managing Directors $\overline{2}$
Dear shareholders,
dear business friends and partners of our company,
dear staff members,
2016 was a very successful year for mVISE - for the first time in years we were able to achieve a positive balance. We will, however, not rest on yesterday's achievements. As the German soccer coach once said "after the match is before the match", we are continuously striving to make the successful turnaround into an ongoing growth story. Accordingly, we have been staying diligently true to our 2015+ strategy in the first half of 2017. And we are very happy with the results in the year to date. Especially the increase in sales and the overall performance are definitely something to show for.
Growth here rests on several pillars: In the consulting sector, we are still working at full capacity; the new Hamburg location is proof of that. Among the highlights are a large number of new customers as well as the huge demand for managed services. The product segment, too, has become a lot stronger thanks to the expanded portfolio. And our proprietary brand SaleSphere has also been making progress. In order to shorten sales cycles and for to more quickly convert high interest into orders, we have been developing a number of innovations in the year to date. This includes new modules and functionalities which have been enjoying strong demand from our customers, such as a performance or camera documentation. These will be offered starting August both individually as well as together with the SaleSphere system, and in addition, there will also be free test version. As a result of these measures, we expect an easier entry for a significantly larger group of interested prospects.
We further place our emphasis on synergy effects through our new cloud-based integration platform elastic.io. This platform serves as a form of data hub between intragroup infrastructures and external cloud systems and enables simple and fast networking of various IT systems and thus a smooth and frictionless data transport. As many as two-thirds of all companies are using cloud solutions by now; the need for integration reflects this correspondingly. Especially our key accounts from the areas of telecommunication, industry and financial services see themselves confronted with complex integration tasks in the context of cloud infrastructures. The advanced integration possibilities through elastic.io thus also additionally increase the value for the customer of our SaleSphere and ICC products.
So you see that we are achieving a more and more balanced business model and our dependency on project-driven consulting business is continuously decreasing. The increase of the portion of recurring revenue amounting to about 50 percent during the previous year to about three-quarters in the current year is further proof of this development. In order to be able to cope with this high level of demand, we have been resorting more to external partners and freelancers in the first half of 2017. True, the use of external contractors leaves us with lower margins, however, the overriding objective here is definitely the continued sales increase in the current development stage of mVISE. To avoid any further increase of the share of contractors, however, we are hiring new employees on an ongoing basis. Our current infrastructure can handle up to 200 consultants so that each new hire automatically leads to a reduction of the overhead rate. Sales increases from the product business add to the personnel cost rate reduction as well. The contribution margin each consultant must realize in order to cover their own portion of the overhead cost has been reduced by about half since 2015. This shows that we are basically on the right path with regard to profitability.

MVISE AG Group Management Report for the period Jan 1, to $\overline{\mathbf{3}}$ June 30, 2017
The Group Management Report is to be read together with the consolidated financial statement and the information given in the Notes to the Group Accounts. The following representations are based on a series of statements which are explained in detail in the Notes to the Group Accounts. The Group Management Report further includes forward-looking statements, that is statements which rest on certain assumptions and the current planning, estimates and forecasts based on such assumptions. Forward-looking statements are only valid for the period in which they are made. The mVISE AG management does not assume any obligation to rework or publish the forward-looking statements which this document is based on should new information become available. Statements concerning the future are always subject to risks and uncertainties. The mVISE AG board of directors points out that there are a number of factors that can lead to a significant deviation in the goals we achieve. These essential factors will be described in detail in the section "Risk report of the 2016 Annual Group Report.
$3.1$ Basic information on the Corporation
$3.1.1$ Business activity, business operations
mVISE AG, with its registered office in Düsseldorf, is an IT services and products in connection with mobile business solutions provider operating mostly in Germany. The company was founded in 2000 and possesses vast experience in the area of projects and consulting. Since 2015, mVISE AG has been positioning itself as a thematically clearly focused specialist for products and professional services for mobile digitalization and is a partner for mobile digitalization for their customers. Building on their own expertise in mobile services, mVISE AG focuses on the core subjects mobility, virtualization and security while offering the corresponding consulting services, complex individual solutions (B2B apps) as well as cloud-ready standard products for the digitalization of business processes and their corresponding integration in cloud infrastructures.
Due to the specialization in the three areas of mobility, virtualization (cloud computing) and security, the customer has a one-stop source for all issues involving the mobilization of business processes. This starts with an analysis of the current scenario, needs and potentials, while continuing with the selection and implementation of the appropriate infrastructure (e.g. cloud design) and the development of specific solutions, concluding with aspects such as access control, online identity management and data backup.
Starting with the 2017 fiscal year, the business areas have been restructured. The development of customer-specific solutions is closely intertwined with the accompanying consulting services. This is why these business areas have been consolidated under the Professional Services department, which is under the supervision of Manfred Götz. In the year to date, the product business has therefore been established as a stand-alone area under the responsibility of Rainer Bastian.
$3.1.2$ Group structure
In addition to the Düsseldorf parent company, mVISE AG, the following companies are included in the consolidated financial statement:
Just Intelligence GmbH, Hamburg
MVISE AG has been a shareholder of Just Intelligence GmbH, Hamburg since 2014. In September, the shareholding was increased from 33.4% to 50.1%. An additional increase to 78% took place in January 2017. A contractual arrangement was also made for the remaining 22%. The consolidation for accounting purposes of the company took place in Q4/2016.
Just Intelligence GmbH came about as the result of a Management Buyout from one of Germany's leading customer service providers in 2011. Today, the company is known for intelligent data analysis and workforce management solutions. The multiple award-winning software ICC offers Just Intelligence one of the best-performing systems for planning and controlling contract centers.
elastic.io GmbH, Bonn
Since May 2017, mVISE AG has been a 75.1% shareholder of elastic.io GmbH in Bonn. A contractual arrangement was also made for the remaining 24.9%. The consolidation for accounting purposes of the company took place in May 2017.
Elastic.io GmbH was founded in 2013 and offers a cloud-based integration platform through its software which enables fast, secure and cost-efficient networking of various IT systems enabling a smooth and frictionless data interchange. The core of the software consists of multiple so-called connectors, pre-defined interfaces as well as an elaborate software development kit for the development of new interfaces. This solution is sold both in a cloud-based version as the iPaaS model (integration platform as a service), as well as so-called campus license for large businesses.
$3.1.3$ Control system
The company's administration oversees their interests in regular meetings of the company's corporate bodies as well as through informal coordination between Supervisory Board and Board of Directors and within the committees. Beyond that, regular management meetings to elaborate on topics are attended by members from all areas of the company. The Board of Directors oversees the company with the support of a management information system featuring an integrated performance calculation including a detailed running projection on financial requirements and use. The Board of Directors oversees the group and its development for the major part through the following financial and non-financial performance indicators. Here, great emphasis is placed on a sustained development of the group. A detailed presentation of the group's earnings, assets, and financial position is stated under item 3.4.
$3.1.4$ Research and Development
The technological and professional development of the company and its employees is essential for the business success of mVISE AG. This is why in the fiscal year 2016 we went to great lengths for the continued development of the SaleSphere product so that it would be ready to go to the market in 2016. Companies that use digital programs to master the challenges of digitalization and also succeed in keeping their sales organizations in the profit zone or even increase margins, are able to on average
double their revenues and productivity. SaleSphere targets the digitalization of the sales cycle in order to maximize the potential in a sustainable manner and to solidify the value chain in sales. Starting with the integration of complex and extensive product catalogues through managed sales situations, order management and structured preparation and follow-up of sales calls, down to the integration of company planning systems, the mVISE solution offers the degree of support needed in diversified markets.
The development efforts undertaken by ICC in the year under review were predominantly geared towards the virtualization and production of cloud-ready products and the design and development of additional features alike.
The product offering has been further expanded by the purchase of 75.1% of the shares of the elastic.io GmbH. elastic.io GmbH with their software in the same name possesses an integration platform which is considered leading in the market place. It enables faster, more secure and cost efficient integration among intra-company infrastructures and external cloud systems.
$3.2$ Economic report
$3.2.1$ Overall economic development
The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) (Deutsches Institute fur Wirtschaftsforschung) considers the German economy to still be on a steady upward trend for the first half of 2017 and expects an economic performance increase of 1.5% for the overall year 2017. The number of persons employed is at a historic all-time high and growing, as well as private household income. Public coffers, too, are well filled and inflation is moving up only slowly. The DIW Berlin, however, still sees a high level of uncertainty, e.g. as a result of the Brexit negotiations or the protectionist endeavors of the US trade policy. Global growth nevertheless remains intact and experts are expecting an increase of the global economy performance of around 3.7%. Despite increased inflation, the DIW Berlin considers private consumption in the developed economies among the main drivers, especially since more and more people are gainfully employed. On top of this, investor confidence is on the rise in both the US and Europe. For the emerging economy countries, the DIW Berlin is expecting steady if not strong dynamic in growth.
Market and market environment $3.2.2$
The industry development on the IT sector is analyzed and evaluated by the German Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and new media e. V. (Bundesverband Informationswirtschaft, Telekommunikation und neue Medien e. V.) For the current year, the association expects sales amounting to EUR 161 bn in Germany in the areas IT, telecommunication and consumer electronics (+1.3 percent). The driver again of this positive development is IT with a sales volume of EUR 86 bn and a 2.7% growth rate. Here, especially software suppliers are in high demand (+6.3 percent) and IT Services (+2.3 percent), whose business will blow up to a volume of EUR 23 bn and 39 bn respectively. IT hardware sales have remained on a constant level with EUR 24 bn.
All in all the Bitkom industry is in optimistic mood. Eight out of ten companies (83 percent) expect an increase in sales for the first entire year 2017 over the same period in the last year. While software
companies (85 percent) und IT Services (83 percent) expect growing sales particularly often, only twothirds of the IT hardware producers (65 percent) share that opinion for their own industry. The favorable business situation will most likely, as in the previous years, have a positive effect on the job market. Two thirds of the Bitkom industry companies (65%) are planning to create additional jobs in the current year. The shortage of skilled workers will increase further accordingly, though. As to a Bitkom study, 51,000 IT specialist positions cannot be filled at this time. Roughly 75% of all companies see their growth undermined as a consequence.
In view of the upcoming general German elections, the majority of ITK companies demand a new digital government program. Close to nine out of ten (87 percent) of them feel that Germany needs a new political agency in order to support the digitalization of the leading industries and the medium-sized enterprises. Just as many (87 percent) require to turn Germany into an international hotspot of digital transformation. And 85 percent expect politics to show more commitment to economic protection and IT security. No wonder: A recent Bitkom study reveals that more than half of all companies in Germany (53 percent) fell victim to industrial espionage, sabotage or data theft during the past two years. This has caused a damage of about EUR 55 bn annually. It is in particular smaller companies that are lacking a security strategy during their use of cloud computing. Whereas companies with 500 or more employees who are using or planning the use Cloud services do have a Cloud Security Strategy in place, only a third of the smaller companies follows that example. And all this before the background of a booming Cloud use in the economy. Two out of three companies with a staff of 20 or more (65 percent) utilized Cloud Computing in 2016. In the previous year, this number was at 54 percent with a little as 44 percent in 2014.
According to Crisp Research study, the Cloud market alone will go up to a volume of EUR 13.4 bn. The use of these apps include mobile devices, especially in the areas collaboration and customer communication and are predominantly used by the sales, customer relations and service departments. According to a Burda Creative study regarding communication in sales, two thirds of the survey participants see a large to very large digitalization demand in sales communication. On the requirements list is an enhanced orientation on the needs of the target group and a greater compaction of the flood of information. Because even in areas with high mobile devices penetration, only a few users take full advantage of the existing options.
While digitalization holds many opportunities for the economy and enables many exciting transformation projects in the IT medium-sized sector, the largest challenges are setting up IT security as well as integrating mobility into company processes. This phenomena is accompanied by a corresponding increase in budgets put aside for mobility integration in the company processes. This is the result of the Enterprise Mobility Study 2015 which furthermore has determined INDUSTRY 4.2 Virtualization and Cloud Computing to be the most important technology trends for the coming five years.
$3.3$ Significant events in the reporting period
Shareholding increase in Just Intelligence GmbH within the scope of a capital increases through contributions in kind
In January 2017, mVISE AG increased its participation in the Just Intelligence GmbH, Hamburg, from 50.1 to 78%. The increase was realized by issuing 210,000 shares within the scope of a capital
increase through contributions in kind from the authorized capital of mVISE AG. A contractual arrangement was also made for the remaining 22%.
Majority takeover of elastic.io GmbH
In May 2017, mVISE AG took over 75.1% of the shares of elastic.io GmbH in Bonn. The takeover was realized against cash payment. A contractual arrangement was also made for the remaining 24.9%. The purchase price amount is subject to secrecy, the major part of the total purchase amount is results-based and takes into account the development of elastic.io GmbH in the fiscal years 2017 to 2019. The consolidation for accounting purposes of the company took place in May 2017. Renat Zubairov and Igor Drobiazko, the two founders of the company will continue to be in elastic.io's top management and thus continue to add their experience to the company.
Issuance of a convertible bond
In order to be able to finance the strategic investment in elastic.io GmbH and to strengthen the equity capital base, the Board of Directors with the consent of the Supervisory Board made use of the authorization granted by the general meeting and resolved the issuances of convertible bonds in the total nominal amount of EUR 3 mn. applying a simplified exclusion of preemptive rights pursuant to Sec221 sub-section 4, sentence 2 in conjunction with sec 186 sub-section 3, sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) against cash payment. The convertible bonds were fully issued in 30 partial debentures with a nominal value of EUR 100,000.00. The agreed upon conversion price is EUR 3.75.
$3.4$ Earnings, assets, and financial position
Overall presentation $3.4.1$
In the first half of 2017, the mVISE group was able to significantly increase sales and overall performance over the same period in the previous year. While the group's sales have increased about 65% from EUR 3.2 mn. to EUR 5.3 mn., the overall performance experienced a rise of even 78% from EUR 3.6 mn. to EUR 6.4 mn. The growth can be attributed to both the further expansion of the Professional Services division as well as the expanded product portfolio. At the same time it needs to be taken into consideration that the first half of the year, due to the nature of the industry industry,, is traditionally weaker than the second half since many budgets will be awarded towards the end of the business year. Against the background of mostly linear cost structures, this effect has an impact on the mid-year results. Increase in share of external services due to working at high capacity This has also entailed a negative cash flow from the operative business side during the first six months. The Board of Directors however, expects the continuance of the positive development from the 2016 fiscal year for the year 2017.
Also after the issuance of the debenture bond in order to finance the acquisition of elastic.io GmbH, the equity capital ration as at 30 June, 2017, is at 34.1%. mVISE AG continues to show a robust balance sheet structure this way which leaves ample flexibility for additional organic and inorganic growth.
3.4.2 Profit situation
Sales development
In H1 2017, the group's sales totaled to EUR 5.3 mn. EUR 3.2 mn) Here both the areas Professional Services and Division Products have enjoyed noticeable gains. In Professional Services, sales increased from EUR 3.5 mn. in H1 2016 to EUR 4.66 mn. in the period under review as a result of the high capacity utilization in consulting as well as the distinct demand for Managed Services. In Products, sales have almost doubled driven by the first-time inclusion of the acquired products ICC and elastic.io from EUR 0.3 mn. to EUR 0.7 mn. taking into account the change in inventories of EUR 0.03 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.01 mn.) as well as the capitalized own services in the amount of EUR 0.8 mn. for the continued development of the three products SaleSphere, ICC and elastic.io (H1 2016: EUR 0.3 mn.) the result of the first six months of 2017 is an overall performance of EUR 6.3 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 3.6 mn.)
Development of expenditures
In the period under review, third-party services acquired amounted to EUR 1.9 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.9 mn.) These third-party services pertain mostly to the use of freelancers The increase over the previous year is a result of the favorable demand situation, which is, however, being responded to with a time lag by hiring new own employees.
Personnel costs were EUR 3.4 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 2.0 mn. combined with a personnel quota reduced to 52.4% in relation to the overall performance (H1 2016: 56.4%). On the one hand, this development corresponds to our personnel base which is still in the process of being established but above all demonstrates the scalability of the Professional Services business model. The high sales increase in this area has not entailed higher administrative costs.
Other operating expenses include mainly expenses for occupancy, vehicles, advertising and capital market costs, as well as costs for the annual audit and legal advisory services. They experienced a 43% increase to EUR 0.95 mn. in the period under review (H1 2016: EUR 0.67 mn.) and thus also present an less than proportional increase in relation to the overall performance. It further needs to be considered that compared to the previous year, following the consolidation of Just Intelligence and elastic.io, this expense item also includes the corresponding costs of these subsidiaries. In total, here too, the scalability of the business model becomes visible: a growth in sales volume does not automatically lead to a similar increase of the other operating. The other operating expenses in the period under review also include expenses for the accelerating pace of growth of the mVISE group. The acquisition of the majority holding in the subsidiaries Just Intelligence and elastic.io has lead to expenses for the acquisition, integration and above all the new hire and training of Professional Services employees for these two new product areas.
The depreciation on property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets amounted to EUR 0.8 mn. in the first half of 2017 (H1 2016: EUR 0.3 mn.). Along with the investment in the SaleSphere product, the strong increase arises from of the depreciation for the Just Intelligence und elastic.io products which have been added on as a result of the group consolidation.
Earnings performance
Despite the liabilities described above, which are a result of the organic and inorganic growth during the period under review, an EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of EUR 0.3 mn. could be achieved in the reporting period (H1 2016: EUR 0.2 mn.).
EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) in the reporting period, due to the increased depreciation from the development activities for the significantly increased portfolio was EUR -0.5 mn. (H1 2016: EUR - $0.1$ mn.).
The financial result in the first half 2017 was kEUR -110 (H1 2016: kEUR -4) along with a group result before taxes of EUR -0.6 mn. (H1 2016: EUR -0.1 mn.). Considering a tax income in the amount of EUR 1.1 mn. in connection with the first-time consolidation of elastic.io in the period under review (H1 2016: EUR 0.00 mn) the result is a significantly positive consolidated net income for the period of EUR 0.5 mn. (H1 2016: EUR -0.1 mn.).
$3.4.3$ Financial situation
Current assets
As at June 30, 2017, short-term assets experienced a negligible increase to EUR 1.9 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 1.7 mn.). This way, the considerably increased business volume has also let to an increase in inventories (unfinished services) to EUR 0.3 mn. (31 December, 2016: EUR 0.1 mn.).
Trade receivables from goods and services amounted to EUR 1.2 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 1.2 mn.). Despite the considerable growth in sales volume, these have not increased in a significant fashion. This way, additional liquidity need could be avoided thanks to a compelling receivables management.
The other short-term assets amounting to EUR 0.2 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 0.2 mn) and cash and cash equivalents in the amount of EUR 0.2 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 0.3 mn.) did not show any material change.
Long-term assets
As at the balance sheet date, long-term assets amounted to EUR 6.7 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 3.0 mn.). This considerable accretion is predominantly based upon the goodwill from acquiring shareholdings of the Just Intelligence and elastic.io.
Outside capital
As at June 30, 2017, outside capital amounted to EUR 7.7 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 3.5 mn.). The increase is primarily a result from issuing a convertible bond with an effect on the balance sheet of EUR 3.0 mn.
Following the organic expansion of the business' undertakings and the first-time consolidation of elastic.io an expected increase of the other debt positions took place. This way, provisions increased to EUR 2.0 mn. as at the balance sheet date (31 December 2016: EUR 1.4 mn.). Further, trade payables were EUR 0.7 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 0.4 mn.), and amounts owed to credit institutions EUR 0.9
mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 0.4 mn.) and pre-payments received EUR 0.1 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 0.0 mn.).
Equity capital
As at June 30, 2017, equity capital amounted to EUR 4.0 mn. (31 December 2016: EUR 3.3 mn.). The increase is primarily a result from issuing the successful capital increase with an effect on the balance sheet of kEUR 210, as well as the connected payment to capital reserve. The equity capital ratio for H1 2017 is 34.1%, a decrease over 50.1% in H1 2016. This is primarily a result of the strong increase of the balance sheet total following the issuance of a a convertible bond with an effect on the balance sheet of EUR 3.0 mn., as well as of the organic expansion of the business operation and the first-time consolidation of elastic.io.
$3.4.4$ Financial condition, Cash-Flow Statement and Liquidity
Cash-Flow Statement und Liquidity
Analogous to the results from the ordinary business activity which has taken a blow from the accelerated growth path, cash-flow from the operating activity was negative in the period under review and amounted to EUR -0.51 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.12 mn.).
Der net cash outflow from investments was EUR 2.9 mn. in the period under review (H1 2016: EUR -0.4 mn.). Here, investments in tangible assets amounted to kEUR 40 (H1 2016: kEUR 30) and the investment in intangible assets was EUR 0.9 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.4 mn.). The remaining amount of EUR 2.0 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.0 mn.) relates to payments for additions to the consolidated companies.
In H1 2017, the net cash flow from financing activities was EUR 3.3 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.4 mn.). The positive balance resulted from payments from taking on loans as well as the convertible bond issuance.
Thus, the overall cash-flow for the first six months of 2017 totaled to EUR -0.1 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.1) mn.). On June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 0.3 mn. (30 June 2016: EUR 0.2 mn.).
$3.4.5$ Investments
Investments with a volume of EUR 0.9 mn. were made in the period under review (H1 2016: EUR 0.4 mn.). of which kEUR 40 (H1 2016: kEUR30) went to tangible fixed assets and EUR 0.9 mn. (H1 2016: EUR 0.3 mn.) to intangible assets. For the most part, the means invested were used for the continued development of the SaleSphere ICC and eastic.io products as well as for purchasing the majority shares in elastic.io GmbH.
$3.4.6$ Staff
For mVISE, qualified and motivated employees are the most important asset. The number of employees during the period under review has increased from 81 on 31 December, 2016 to 105 on 30 June, 2017. There are several reasons for this considerable increase: For one, many new staff members have been added to the Professional Services division, and the elastic.io GmbH takeover has also made an impact. During H1 2017, on average 95 employees worked at the group (H1 2016: 72).
Order Situation $3.4.7$
With EUR 3.1 mn., mVISE AG's order back log clearly exceeded that of the reporting period in the previous year (30. Jun 2016: EUR 2.2 mn.) Unlike the marginal order backlog in the product area during the previous year, 13% of orders are attributable to this segment in the year under review. All in all, for the year under review, the Board of Directors expects another significant shift of the SaleSphere and elastic.io products in favor of the products.
$3.4.8$ Risk and Opportunity Report
The risks and opportunities arising out of entrepreneurial activity are defined, evaluated by the Board on an on-going basis, and minimized or shifted to third parties as far as possible and appropriate from an entrepreneurial point of view Explicit reference is made to the risks which might jeopardize the success of mVISE AG as well as the business potential in the group management report under 3.3 "Risk and Opportunity Report" in the 2016 annual report. There were no major changes in the risk and opportunity profile of mVISE AG during the period under review.
$3.4.9$ Forecast
Following the successful repositioning and the positive 2016 business development, a continuation of the growth path is planned for the current year as well. The underlying conditions as such are basically positive: The economic environment is stable, and the mVISE products and trends are a response to global trends, such as business process digitization and IT security. The group has gained a reputation as being a forerunner in mobile digitization and can therefore enjoy a steady and reliable client base.
The Board in particular wants to take advantage of the development surrounding data protection and security, which currently enjoys regulatory and media support, in order to drive further growth in this sector. But also in the area of machine networking, mVISE AG together with Bosch has penetrated into an extremely interesting area with many exciting projects. The current order volume in excess of EUR 3.1 mn. ensures working to nearly full capacity and the huge demand, especially from key accounts, is a positive sign for significant contract completions in the second half of the year.
The focus here is on additionally expanding the consulting business, in addition, we are striving for the first measurable achievements in the licensing business with both sales force support products (SaleSphere) as well as further sales increases with the Just Intelligence and elastic.io solutions. To be able to further expand on the market position achieved so far, mVISE AG is also focusing on inorganic
growth in 2017 as well. Following the successful addition to the product portfolio with the acquisition of elastic.io GmbH, the priority is on Professional Services, as far as future acquisitions are concerned.
Overall, the Board once more emphasizes their growth and results objectives on group level. Given stable competitive structures and market prices, no losses caused by key accounts as well as a continued positive development in the relevant target markets, from today's view, the Board await an overall performance of EUR 14 mn. for the 2017 business year. Just Intelligence GmbH will most likely contribute 10 to 15% of the planned overall performance, and in addition to that no major sales figures from the product area are included in this forecast. Besides the increase in revenue, the focus here is on achieving synergies, e.g. in the areas of marketing and sales, as well as finances and Human Resources. All in all, for the 2017 business year, the Board expects an EBITDA margin at the forecast's lower end amounting to 15 to 20 percent.
The total investment volume planned for the 2017 fiscal year is around EUR 1.8 mn. in tangible and intangible assets. These investments are intended to expand the scope of functions of the Just Intelligence, elastic.io and SaleSphere products in order to increase the portfolio's attractiveness on the market with a significant increase in license-generated sales in the future. The investment volume might increase over the current planning in the event of increased inorganic growth through acquisitions.

$4.2$ Information on the share
mVISE AG was taken over in the new Scale quality segment for small and medium-sized companies (KMU) of the German Stock Exchange. Since March 2017, Scale has been replacing the entry standard for shares and corporate bonds. The new segment, which is intended to allow companies easer access to investors and growth capital, is subject to much more severe regulation than the Basic Board, in which mVISE AG was listed following the end of the entry standard until they were admitted to Scale.
The new quality standards require companies above all to commit to transparency in addition to having an established business model and minimum defined key figures. This includes for example annual analyst conventions as well as an independent research commissioned by the German Stock Exchange
mVISE AG welcomes the efforts of the German Stock Exchange for enhanced transparency - this is why the introduction of Scale marks an important and justified step. It has therefore been a logical decision for mVISE to apply for admission into the new quality segment.
The increased transparency requirements make the companies listed in Scale much more attractive, which significantly supports both a broadening of the investor base, as well as the image of companies in the business and financial media.
The Securities Identification Number (ISIN DE0006204589) of mVISE AG remains the same.
We informed our shareholders and the public interested of the current business development, special events as well as the company's perspective in a timely manner in H1 2017. This year's regular general
meeting for example, which was held in Düsseldorf on June 29, where shareholders could gain information on the year, ended 2016 and the current situation in mVISE AG, was again met with great interest. Both presentation and speech can be found at the website under the tab "Investor Relations/General Meeting" and is available for download.
The Board further presents the company at various relevant capital market conventions, accompanied by further information given on the present situation as well as still existing challenges. mVISE AG was also part of the DVFA spring convention in Frankfurt/Main, to name just an example. Other scheduled events include the Rüttnauer Research IR trip in September and the Eigenkapitalforum in November in Frankfurt.

| elastic.io GmbH | 75.1% | kEUR 2,620 | kEUR 747 | kEUR 1,200 |
mVISE Professional GmbH has not been included in the consolidated group of companies, because its business operations have been idle for several years coupled with its insignificance for the group.
Consolidation policies
The financial statements of the companies included in the group of companies were prepared following the general accounting policies. The capital consolidation for first-time consolidated companies due to acquisition, was carried out on the basis of the acquisition method at the time, when the company became a subsidiary.
When using the acquisition method, the value approach for the portion belonging to the parent company will be offset against the equity share attributable to that portion. Equity is carried with the amount that corresponds with the accompanying current value of the assets, debts, deferred items and extraordinary items to be included in the consolidated balance sheet. Any remaining difference following the offsetting, should it appear on the assets side, will be shown as goodwill. In determining the current value of the assets, debts, deferred items and extraordinary items to the taken up in the consolidated balance sheet, along with the capital consolidation, the determining date is the point at which the company became a subsidiary. The capital consolidation for companies or purchased capital shares was carried out applying the revaluation method. The amounts to be capitalized will be, to the extent this is possible, allocated to the respective asset item, the remaining balance was shown as goodwill.
$6.1$ Accounting and valuation methods
Below is an illustration of the accounting and valuation methods applied in the consolidated financial statements. The accounting and valuation methods from the previous year have been used again.
Intangible assets
Proprietary intangible assets are reported at their production cost, reduced by linear amortization (with an ordinary useful life of three years). The integration of adequate portions of general
administrative expenses is the result of exercising of voting rights pursuant to section 22, sub-section 2, page 3 HGB. Through die Activation of the costs attributed to the recorded development services and general administration it is ensured that the revenues from disbursements related to product licensing are considered during the time period in which the revenues arise. Capitalized own services are depreciated over three years according to their useful life.
Goodwill is capitalized including all goodwill from the first-time consolidation of shares purchased and depreciated over a 10 to 15-year period. It will be checked on a case-to-case basis over which time period the goodwill may be most likely used and then depreciated on a straight-line basis accordingly. If needed, additional unscheduled depreciations will be made.
Property Plant & Equipment
Tangible assets are assessed at their first cost, minus the scheduled straight-line depreciation over the expected useful lives. Depreciations on additions to fixed assets are carried out pro rata temporis. The useful live of IT hardware is usually three years, and seven to ten years for all other business equipment and furnishings. During the year changes in property, plant and equipment can be seen in the fixed assets development.
Inventories
Unfinished work is assessed at production cost. Production costs include, in addition to the direct material and labor charges, an appropriate share of material and/or production over head costs, as well as depreciation of the fixed assets. The integration of adequate portions of general administrative expenses is the result of exercising of voting rights pursuant to section 22, sub-section 2, page 3 HGB. In all cases the principle of no-loss valuation was followed, that is, the review of impairment was carried out applying discounts on the expected retail price for additional costs that might be incurred.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets are reported on the differences in the balance sheet amounts and of the tax balance to the extent that these taxes are expected to diminish in following fiscal years. In addition, deferred taxes on the assets side are created on the existing losses carried forward to the extent a setting off of losses is to be expected during the five years to come. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown netted. The calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based upon the relevant tax rate of the group companies concerned.
Receivables and other assets
Receivables and other asset are recognized at nominal value A one percent general value adjustment is applied to accounts receivable trade. Individual value adjustments are made when in doubt of fulfilment due to credit rating. The other assets refer to provided deposits and receivables from affiliated companies.
Provisions
Accruals account for all identifiable risks and uncertain liabilities in the amount of the expected utilization. Future price and cost increases are included in the evaluation. Provisions with a residual maturity of more than one year will be discounted at the average corresponding market interest rate of the past seven years corresponding to the respective term.
Liabilities

6.3 Notes to the Group balance sheet
Information on shareholdings
As at Jan 1, 2017, mVISE AG purchased another 27.9% slice in the Just Intelligence GmbH and by now consolidates 78% of all shares under it. The shares were purchased within the context of a contribution in kind in the amount of kEUR 210. During the initial consolidation of the second tranche, the point at which Just Intelligence was consolidated was assigned to establish the active difference. The credit balance between the proportionate equity of Just Intelligence on the acquisition date of the second tranche (1 Jan, 2017) and the first-time consolidation date (1 Oct, 2016) was reposted to capital reserves.
In May 2017, shares amounting to 75.1% of elastic.io GmbH were purchased. The share purchase price in addition to a cash component of kEUR 1,910 also includes an earn-out provision. Thus, during the process of determining the purchase price, aside from the cash component, an amount equaling the discounted earn-out requirement forecast for the period of fulfillment was to be taken into account. The total purchase cost amounts to kEUR 2,608.
As part of the initially consolidated new assessment of the net assets of elastic.io, hidden reserves in intangible assets in value of 700 kEUR were to be activated. The hidden reserves relate to an in-house developed software.
Intangible Assets
The first-time consolidating of elastic.io has lead to an asset difference from capital consolidation in the amount of kEUR 2,608 which was shown as goodwill. In line with section 309, sub-section 1 HGB, it is subject to scheduled depreciation over its expected service life of 10 years.
