Course of business and position of the company
04 In the first three months of 2003 PRO DV Software AG posted a gross performance of 4.22 million euros, following on from 4.76 million euros in the comparative period for the previous year. Sales revenues were 3.83 (previous year: 4.82) million euros. This development essentially came about with the removal of shareholdings from the reporting unit in the past year.
Despite the ongoing stagnation of the economy and the associated reservation towards awarding IT projects, it was possible to stabilise the development of results at PRO DV. The major reasons for this lay in the consistent cost management and, in particular, in the streamlining of the shareholdings portfolio, a process which was initiated last year. In this respect loss-making areas were identified and removed from the group.
These measures are already reflected in the results for the first quarter of this year. The operating result (EBIT) in the period under review improved by 60.5 per cent, from -1.90 million euros in 2002 to -0.75 million euros. Before depreciation (EBITDA) the result improved by 64.8 per cent, from -1.48 million euros to -0.52 million euros. Thanks to constant capacity utilisation in the core areas of the parent company, a solid pattern of stable earnings is developing. The earnings per share were -0.18 euro (previous year: -0.30 euro).




Despite the ongoing tense situation on the markets, the balance sheet situation at PRO DV is very good, with a balance-sheet total of 28.6 million euros and an equity ratio of 78.4 per cent. The cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period amounted to 14.49 million euros, and were thus at virtually the same level as last year (14.84 million euros).
At the end of the period new orders amounted to a total of 4.4 million euros, with total orders in hand of over 7.2 million euros. As a result of intensified sales activities it was possible to acquire 8 new clients in the first quarter. Furthermore, a number of other projects are already in the acquisition phase, with the outlook for orders being placed in the near future. A major contribution to this has been made by the stronger focus on sales throughout the company.
Whereas to date work has been topic-oriented, in the future PRO DV intends to bundle its activities by sectors and, with customer and sector-specific solutions, focus on the target groups telecommunications, industry, government, utilities, retail and banking. In this respect the main competence lies in the field of geo solutions, in which applications use locationbased data.
With a view to the current tense situation on the market, given the current level of capacity utilisation, and taking into account the long-term analysis for all business divisions and shareholdings, the company expects the gross performance for 2003 to remain unchanged at 18.3 million euros with an operating result of (EBIT) of -2.0 million euros.

Appendix
12 > Economic development
The markets addressed by PRO DV have been characterised by cautious investment in recent months. This is seen above all in the fact that investments already planned for IT infrastructure and IT solutions have been cancelled and that customers have cut their budgets. The predicted economic recovery and the associated increase in investment activity for IT projects has not yet been seen to the extent forecast.
> Events of particular significance
In order to strengthen the trust placed in the German capital market, Deutsche Börse resegmented the German stock market as of January 2003: The newly-created Prime Standard is now the premium segment and places the highest transparency demands in Europe on the companies listed on the exchange. Quarterly reporting, analyst conferences, the publication of a corporate calendar, and the use of international accounting standards are obligatory, for example. Compliance with the minimum statutory requirements is merely required for the newly-created General Standard. Trading on Neuer Markt is set to be suspended at the end of 2003.
Thanks to its open information policy PRO DV fulfils all the requirements of the Prime Standard. With the change into the new premium segment PRO DV retains the interest of institutional investors and analysts to the benefit of all the shareholders. Following scrutiny of the criteria for acceptance by Deutsche Börse the PRO DV share was admitted to trading on Prime Standard as of 01.01.2003. At the same time this marked the end of trading of the PRO DV share on Neuer Markt.
> Events of particular significance after the end of the reporting period
