Organizational structure of the plenum Group

Organizational structure of the plenum Group as of November, 2003
Dear shareholders and business partners,
In the last 24 months, the IT and communication market was marked by considerable reluctance to invest on the part of customers and high competitive pressure.
Our goal for fiscal year 2003 was to stabilize business under the difficult market conditions forecast and, in particular, to generate a positive result. With revenues of EUR 10.1 million (Q1: EUR 10.6 million, Q2: EUR 10.1 million) and a positive result, we have again reached this goal in Q3. However, at EUR 30.8 million, revenues are down 16% as against the previous year. Nevertheless, we generated EBITDA of almost EUR 1 million after nine months and net income of around EUR 0.3 million.
Given that in 2002, we recorded revenues totaling EUR 47.5 million and a consolidated loss of EUR –10.7 million, the current forecast of around EUR 40 million and a consolidated net profit shows that the measures implemented under the FOKUS program with the aim of "profitability before growth" have been successful. The headcount was adjusted by around 21% (338 employees as of December 31, 2002; expected figure of approx. 270 employees as of December 31, 2003).
This involved adapting the size of our Company and its organizational structure to the changed market conditions. At the same time, we focused our strategic positioning and broadened our customer base via targeted market activities. The economic situation still presents plenum with challenges in the form of smaller project volumes and increased price pressure, as well as the continued reluctance on the part of customers to make investment decisions.
Current market forecasts for fiscal year 2004 indicate positive trends. Thanks to its good positioning and the restructuring measures we have implemented, plenum will capitalize on a sustained economic recovery and will be able to systematically leverage market opportunities in 2004. As in fiscal year 2003, profitability will be management's highest priority in 2004.
Wiesbaden, November 2003
Hartmut Skubch Chairman of the Managing Board

Interim management report

The weak economic situation in 2003 is evident from the current economic data: GDP will remain flat in 2003 and only in 2004 marginal growth of around 1.5% is expected. This led to a considerable reluctance to invest throughout 2003, in particular in IT and communication services. The industry association BITKOM is expecting a decline of 1.2% in the IT service market as a whole in 2003, and decreases of –5% and –4% in the consulting and implementation segments respectively. Only the outsourcing segment is currently showing signs of growth.
Forecasts for 2004 predict marginal growth of around 1.5% for the market as a whole, a slight decrease in management consultancy services, and growth of 1% in the implementation market. The cautiously optimistic outlook for next year was evident in the last few weeks in a noticeable increase in project inquiries and offers. However, this is partially offset by continued strong competition and greater price sensitivity in tender situations. Banks and insurers in particular will continue to face challenges in 2004.
Business developments and earnings situation
In the first nine months of 2003, plenum generated revenues totaling EUR 30.8 million, a decrease of around –16% as against the previous year (EUR 36.6 million). Revenues in Q3 remained in line with the previous quarter's figures at around EUR 10.1 million (Q2: EUR 10.1 million).
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to around EUR 0.9 million after nine months, as against EUR 2.2 million in the same period of the previous year. In the previous quarter, EBITDA amounted to just EUR 0.3 million, and there was little change in Q3. After nine months, plenum's net income totaled around EUR 0.3 million (previous year: EUR 0.7 million). Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.03 after nine months (previous year: EUR 0.08) for 9,577,068 no-par value shares in each case.
In the year-on-year comparison, however, note that due to restructuring measures and write-downs at the end of the year, we recorded in total negative EBITDA in the amount of EUR –1.1 million and a consolidated loss of EUR –10.7 million.
Cost development
In Q3, gross profit as well as selling and marketing expenses remained at the same level as the previous quarter, at around 17% and 13% respectively.
The increase in research and development expenses results predominantly from projects initiated as part of the FOKUS program designed to focus our positioning.
The balance of other operating income and expenses is again positive – as in the previous quarter – primarily due to the fact that certain provisions are no longer necessary.
The deferred tax liabilities recognized in Q2 were reversed in Q3.
Net assets and financial position
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to around EUR 9.1 million after the first nine months of 2003. In comparison with the very high level at the end of 2002 (EUR 13.3 million), this figure has fallen as expected by around 30%. However, at around EUR 9.4 million, cash and cash equivalents remained virtually unchanged as against the previous quarter.
The substantially lower decline in net liquidity over the same period, at 21%, is due in particular to the simultaneous reduction in advance payments received, from EUR 2.5 million to around EUR 0.6 million. One of the main reasons for the development of this balance sheet item is the payment terms and dates in the Company's large project business, which regularly cause such fluctuations. As forecast, cash flow from operating activities also totaled around EUR –4.0 million in the first nine months of 2003, although at just on EUR -0.2 million, net cash outflows slowed considerably in Q3.
At the end of Q3 the equity ratio was at 46% and increased as against the end of fiscal year 2002 (Dec. 31, 2002: 40%).
Outlook
Our goal for fiscal year 2003 was to stabilize business under the difficult market conditions forecast and, in particular, to generate a positive result. The Managing Board is forecasting stable revenue growth for Q4 as well, contributing to revenues for fiscal year 2003 as a whole of around EUR 40 million and a consolidated net profit.
The Managing Board is convinced that, thanks to its current positioning, plenum will benefit from a recovery of its markets and will be able to systematically leverage market opportunities. The cost structure, which was optimized in the current fiscal year, will also enable improved earnings development. In 2004, we will again continue to focus on the Company's profitability.

Segment reporting disclosures
In the first nine months, the average return for the business units was 6%, as against 7% in the previous quarter and 12% in Q3/2002.
plenum Management Consulting
As in H1/2003, Q3 was characterized by continuing weaknesses in the IT service market. However, Management Consulting was able to stabilize its revenues in Q3. Quarter-on-quarter gross revenues remained almost unchanged at EUR 1.8 million as against EUR 1.9 million in Q2. Overall, gross revenues of EUR 5.9 million were generated in the period up to the end of September 2003, as against EUR 9.4 million in the same period of the previous year. Thus, Consulting contributed around 18% of plenum AG's total gross revenues in the first nine months, as against roughly 24% in the previous year.
As a result of this continued weak revenue development, the business unit's internal operating profit (IOP) for the first nine months declined to EUR 0.6 million, considerably lower than in the previous year (EUR 2.4 million).
In Q3, a focus of consulting was on the energy provider market. plenum's consultants assisted many companies in optimizing their IT units. Projects were principally implemented in IT-Governance and Shared Services. Setting up shared, regional service companies reduces costs for standard processes (for instance, invoice processing).
In the banking and insurance market, Management Consulting advised many prominent companies in Q3 and successfully continued ongoing projects. A focus here was on drawing up and introducing service level
agreements for the efficient and cost-optimized management of IT services. There was also demand for support to plan strategic IT investment programs as part of annual budget preparations for the coming fiscal year as well as support for thus resulting realization projects.
plenum's consultants worked with experts from plenum Communication to develop a change management concept for a large industrial company. The aim was to improve sickness absence statistics by means of targeted communication measures, an improvement in employee motivation and coaching for executives.
plenum Systems
In the first nine months of 2003, plenum Systems' gross revenues rose more than 3% against the previous year to EUR 18.3 million (previous year: EUR 17.7 million). The business unit's share of revenues was around 56% (previous year: 46%). At EUR 6.3 million, the unit increased its revenues in Q3 by around 9% as against the previous quarter (EUR 5.8 million). Quarterly fluctuations in revenues are due to settlement terms in the unit's large project business. With an internal operating profit totaling EUR 0.8 million, plenum Systems again generated positive net results.
plenum Systems worked together with consultants from Consulting to support a large insurance company in the development of its IT systems. In addition to a long-term IT strategy to further develop and streamline the entire IT applications architecture, the focus of the project was to systematically optimize IT systems to support business processes.

Other disclosures
In Q2, plenum Systems had already implemented a major project to design and build a data warehouse for an insurance company in Southern Germany. In Q3, the customer not only extended the contract, but also contracted plenum Systems to undertake a preliminary study of the development of an application for reinsurance activities.
A consulting project to optimize and introduce an IT framework was agreed with a service provider in the pharmaceuticals sector. The goal is to market this solution jointly in the future. Initial implementation activities have already begun.
In Q3, after working with plenum Systems for around 18 months as part of the existing development partnership in the Phoenics project, the ARGE of the professional Association for the German Construction Industry reiterated the ongoing collaboration for the year ahead. Current planning in the development project envisages completion of release 1 by mid-2004 and of release 2 by the end of the year.
plenum Communication
plenum Communication's gross revenues slipped to EUR 8.7 million after nine months as against the previous year (EUR 11.4 million). At Eur 2.7 million the decrease in revenues was considerably slowed in Q3. The positive development in H1 continued on the earnings side: with an IOP of EUR 0.2 million in Q3, the unit recorded earnings totaling EUR 0.6 million, a margin of 6% for Q1-Q3 2003. After a negative margin of –3% recorded in fiscal year 2002, this is evidence of the positive effects of the adjustment measures implemented last year.
In Q3, plenum Communication recorded a perceptible increase in demand for its tender and pitch inquiries with numerous successes in winning new customers. The most prominent addition is the premium beer brand, Bitburger. The communication service provider is the lead agency online responsible for the relaunch of B2C, B2B and B2E pages.
For some months now, T-Mobile has been relying on the Internet expertise of plenum Communication, and commissioned additional innovative content for the t-zones online portal in Q3. "t-zones demo", the online project launched at the beginning of the year, received international recognition at the London International Advertising and Design Awards 2003 (LIAA), where it was nominated for the final round. Classic offlinecommunication and public relations were also able to demonstrate their broad service offerings, securing numerous accounts in the new customer business.
Another highlight in Q3 was the publication of the book about the bruno banani-story, "Wachstumschancen einer Unterhose oder: Wie man einen Markt erregt" ("Growth opportunities from Underpants: How to Stir Up a Market"). The two authors, Wolfgang Jassner, Managing Director of bruno banani Underwear GmbH, and Gerhard Fischbach, Managing Director of plenum Communication, tell the story of the ten-year success of the bruno banani designer brand. The book is an impressive documentation of how innovative marketing strategies can also prove successful on the market in economically difficult times.
Booked business
The further decrease in booked business from EUR 10.2 million at the end of H1 to EUR 8.8 million at the end of Q3 is due in particular to the progress in the first Phoenics project. Contract negotiations on the continuation of the project already planned are still in process, and are therefore not reflected in the current booked business.
Investments
The company made no significant investments in the first nine months of 2003.
Employees
The number of staff employed by plenum AG fell in the past three months – as announced in the previous quarter – by around 8% to 296 (Q2: 322). Overall, this represents a drop of 12% as against the previous year's figure of 338 employees.
Risk development
There have been no material changes in the risk situation of plenum AG as against the detailed description presented in the Annual Report 2002.
Significant events
There were no significant events requiring disclosure after the close of the reporting period.
Interim dividend/payout
plenum AG did not pay and does not propose to pay any interim dividend or make any other distributions for the period under review, January 1 to September 30, 2003.

plenum's shares
With the positive development on the capital markets up to mid-September leading to new highs for the year, investors took profits at the end of Q3, accompanied by noticeable share price adjustments in some cases. The upward trend has restarted since mid-October, reinforced by positive news from many companies. The DAX recovered by around 20% since the beginning of the year, and by about 50% as against its spring low. The TecDax also recorded an increase of almost 70% by the end of October since the first calculation of the index in March.
plenum AG's shares continued to record an unbroken upward trend in Q3. After they had stabilized at the level of the beginning of the year (€1.80) at the end of September, our shares rose by a further 20% over the course of the following weeks.

Against its spring low, plenum AG's shares recorded till midmonth November an increase of more than 100%.
To stabilize this positive development, plenum significantly intensified its investor relations activities in H2. Before the end of the year, a prominent research house will publish a study on plenum's shares.
Treasury shares and subscription rights
As of September 30, 2003 plenum AG or other companies as defined by section 160 (1) clause 2 of the Aktiengesetz (AktG – German Public Companies Act) continued to hold 16,790 treasury shares of plenum AG.
No convertible bonds or similar securities as defined by section 160 (1) clause 5 of the AktG had been issued as of September 30, 2003.
