Quarterly Report May 15, 2014

letter to our stockholders

Dear Stockholders:

Following the strong year 2013, we are very pleased to be able to report about very positive development for the fi rst quarter 2014 too! Thanks to good sales growth and excellent development of earnings, the NEXUS-team has started on an outstanding good note into the new year.

With a sales increase of 12% and an increase in the result before taxes of 13%, we have been able to continue our development of increasing sales with simultaneously increasing profi ts.

This is a result, which is not to be taken for granted following the strong growth fi gures of the last quarters. We can be very satisfi ed that our customers are expressing a strong demand especially for new

NEXUS-products. The fact that we have substantially enhanced and rejuvenated our product presentation over the past months has been helpful in this respect. We have done this organizationally as well as via acquisitions. Today, NEXUS is considered a decisive supplier not only with its core product "NEXUS / HIS", but also has market-leading diagnostic modules at the same time, which can be marketed within NEXUS / HIS or independent of it. We also provide complete solutions for senior citizen homes and rehabilitation institutions with very new and innovative products.

Highlights Q1 - 2014 Company developments

    • Strong increases in sales in the 1st quarter
    • Challenges of HIS-project implementation
    • Successful introduction of new products
    • New projects in Switzerland

The comprehensive portfolio of the NEXUS-group is a great advantage for our customers. With it, we supply solutions from one course and consequently a high degree of technological and commercial security as a responsible company. This is an advantage appreciated a lot due to the continually increasing complexity of informatics in the healthcare system.

Consequently, the fi rst quarter was focused on new product launches, which contain the complete replacement of an HIS-system and numerous sub-modules.

The new product launches were concentrated on the very successfully started NEXUS / RIS, NEXUS / PACS and NEXUS / PDMS. In addition, we were able to introduce the new patient management system into a hospital and launch additional NEXUS / APPS on the market.

NEXUS is focusing strongly on innovations and further developments in its current phase. We are strongly convinced that our market demands more and improved solutions from us and that we have the chance to lay the foundation for growth in the coming years.

We also used the fi rst quarter to rework our service processes fundamentally. We have to make service processes leaner and shape customer targeting more directly. Together with customers, we have the goal of achieving measurable results already in the third quarter.

In addition to product project and service activities, we have also been able to achieve impressive sales results. We received orders from a total of 53 hospitals, rehabilitation institutions and senior citizen homes. This included two orders for complete hospitals, where we will install NEXUS/HIS.

The number of incoming orders greatly increased in radiology. Ten new customers, including the Curagita Group in Hamburg among others, decided in favor of the new NEXUS / RIS. In the diagnostic area, we have been able to conclude a provisional agreement with the Israeli MOH and are currently in the test phase. Numerous new customers have selected the NEXUS APP solution in the area of senior citizen homes and nursing institutions. agreement with the Israeli MOH and are currently in the test phase.

Dear stockholders, NEXUS is on a very promising path, and we are proud that our products and services are being received positively on the market. Our organization is very stable today, and we can continually work on improving our processes. Our service and sales processes are current the focus of such optimizations.

We are looking forward to these challenges and would like to thank you, dear stockholders, for your trust.

Warm regards

Interim annual report-sales Report about the profit, financial and asset situation

NEXUS-group sales increased in the first three months of the year 2014 from KEUR 16,604 to KEUR 18,596 (+12.0%).

The decisive growth impulses came from the area of Healthcare Software. Sales in this segment increased from KEUR 14,509 to KEUR 16,652 (+14.8%). On the other hand, the Healthcare Service segment could not maintain its level of the previous year. Sales decreases in this area by 7.2% from KEUR 2,095 to KEUR 1,944.

The international share of total business volume was 45.9% (previous year: 42.9%).

The countries with the highest volume of sales were Switzerland, France and Austria. We were able to increase sales in Germany by 6.1% to KEUR 10,054 (Q1 2013: KEUR 9,479). The different growth rates in the regions are especially due to billing procedures, but also to the consolidation of the new subsidiary syseca AG, Lucerne in the first quarter. Exchange rate fluctuations compared to 2013 were not significant, because the average exchange rate of the Swiss franc as of 31 March 2014 at CHF 1.22 only differs slightly from the rate on 31 December 2013 (CHF 1.23).

We have continued the sustainable positive sales and result development of many years of the NEXUS-group in the first quarter 2014!

The result before taxes improved by 13.0% to KEUR 1,878 (Q1 2013: KEUR 1,662).

Earnings per share amounted to € 0.13 (Q1 2013: € 0.12) in the first quarter.

The result before taxes and interest (EBIT) amounted to KEUR 1,812 following KEUR 1,628 (Q1 2013) and consequently increased by approx. 11.0%. Cost increases beyond growth are especially in the area of other operational expenditures for integrating companies.

EBIT-development (1st Quarter) in KEUR +11% as of previous year

The EBITDA increased by approx. +6.8% to KEUR 3.460 in the fi rst quarter following KEUR 3,240. One-time effects and expenses for company integrations are represented in their complete amount in the operating result.

Our operative cash fl ow was very strong at KEUR 8,164 in Q1 2014 and considerably surpassed the high value of the previous year of KEUR 4,547 (+79.5%). The high pay-in transactions from the further increased maintenance revenues as well as stable development of receivables have made this development possible.

As a result, liquid funds including securities increased by KEUR 6,148 to KEUR 29,952 in the fi rst quarter (31 Dec. 2013: KEUR 23,804).

Investments in tangible and intangible assets were made in the amount of KEUR 1,874 in the fi rst quarter (Q1 2013: KEUR 1,299).

The balance sheet total increased from KEUR 101,966 to KEUR 108,541 compared to 31 December 2013. There are no essential bank liabilities. Intangible assets, goodwill and balanced-out deferred taxes add up to a total of KEUR 50,438 following KEUR 50,667 (31 Dec. 2013). Receivables from customers decreased from KEUR 19,320 to KEUR 18,406 compared to 31 December 2013.

Chances and Risks

Please refer to the explanations in the annual report of 31 December 2013 for information about the essential chances and risks in the development of NEXUS-group. There have been no essential changes in the meantime.

Outlook: New Opportunities and Challenges

We were again able to finish the first quarter 2014 very successfully and consequently continue our unabated positive development of the last year. A sales increase of 12% and an increase in the result before taxes of 13% as well as our strong operative cash flow of approx. €8.2 million are very pleasing results. Although we already had outstanding increase rates in the previous years, we are still able to improve our figures continually.

This also applies for the future. We have substantial opportunities, of which we have to take advantage to be able to continue this development. Our new products, the entry into new markets, new cooperative ventures and new company acquisitions: these topics provide great potential, but also challenges to which we have to dedicate ourselves with tremendous intensity. We will have to prove during the next periods that we can continue to improve and expand our revenue picture in spite of these considerable investments.
