Business development and position of the Company
4 During the first nine months of 2004 PRO DV Software AG succeeded in increasing its total output to 12.3 million euros, as compared with 11.9 million euros for the same period last year. The net loss on operations (EBIT) was reduced from 2.14 million euros to 1.38 million euros. This marked improvement in the result was achieved by a programme of resolute cost optimisation, plus other action taken with the objective of effecting PRO DV's turnaround as quickly as possible.
This included the hive-off of the unprofitable Industry Division on 30 September 2004. This was acquired in a management buy-out by the former divisional management and is continuing its business operations as a completely separate, newly-formed company. The Industry Division's net operating loss for the nine months to end September totalled 1.27 million euros, of which 0.59 million euros was incurred in the third quarter alone. This was more or less equivalent to total cumulative consolidated earnings as of 30 September. The charge against consolidated earnings in the third quarter will be the last time that this division adversely affects earnings.
Earnings per share improved from the figure of minus 0.53 euros in the first nine months of 2003 to minus 0.33 euros as of 30 September 2004. PRO DV is in good financial shape with a balance sheet total of 24.9 million euros and an equity ratio of 79%. Net liquid resources as of 30 September totalled 11.2 million euros.



Sales activities by all the company's divisions yielded incoming orders totalling 12.8 million euros over the nine-month period, of which 6.3 million euros were still outstanding at 30 September 2004.
Following the company's reorganisation the Management Board is expecting a breakeven for the fourth quarter. This means that the budgeted result for the full year remains unchanged at around minus 1 million euros.

Appendix
> Economic development
The markets in which PRO DV operates continued to suffer from a reluctance to undertake capital expenditure in recent months. This was particularly evident from the budget cuts and postponement of already planned investments in IT infrastructure and IT solutions made by several customers.
> Events of particular significance
Karstadt Immobilien AG & Co. KG was acquired as a new customer in August. KarstadtQuelle AG's real estate management company has entrusted PRO DV with the development and implementation of a geo-based solution for location analysis and expansion planning. The new IT system will enable active and efficient asset management of the company's extensive and valuable real estate portfolio consisting primarily of retail space, logistics centres and offices, and will also be capable of evaluating buildings and sites for development of new locations. It will use a geographic information system to evaluate background data on the economic, competitive and socio-demographic situation and will then coordinate these with internal Karstadt data and use digital cards to visualise the results.
The unprofitable Industry Division was hived off on 30 September 2004 with the objective of effecting PRO DV's turnaround as quickly as possible. The drain caused by this division on consolidated earnings in the third quarter will be the last time that this division adversely affects results.
> Events of particular significance after the end of the period under review
The Federal German Office for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) is pressing ahead with the GeoPortal.Bund project commissioned by the Federal German Ministry of the Interior (BMI) for the creation of a pioneering geo-data infrastructure at national level. This project is being coordinated by IMAGI, an interministerial committee for application of geo-information (www.imagi.de). It will pool the geo-information collected by various government authorities and other public institutions and create a central point from which this information will be accessible to government offices, the business and scientific worlds and the population as a whole. Geo-data are defined as all data relating to geographic areas which are of importance for regional planning, regional utility and disposal systems, the construction industry, civil defence and disaster control services, and also for environmental management and nature preservation. For example, geographic information is used, either directly or indirectly, in roughly half of all branches of the economy.
In October, PRO DV received the order for the creation of this highly sophisticated geo-data portal from the Federal German Office for Cartography and Geodesy. PRO DV will be the general contractor in a joint project with the Swiss company GeoTask. The key tasks will be to provide an internet-based, barrier-free, interoperable geo-data search engine and to make available geo web services based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards.
> Research and development
In the first six months of the financial year, approx. 10 man-years in engineering services were invested in the further development of the company's solutions and services. Product developments which commenced in this period were not capitalised as self-constructed assets.
> Investments
Investments in intangible fixed assets and fixed assets in the period under review amounted to TEUR 302.
> Accounting and valuation methods
The accounting, valuation, and calculation methods used for the quarterly statements as of 30 September 2004 were the same as those used for the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2003. This quarterly report has been prepared in compliance with international accounting standards/international financial reporting standards.
> Number of employees
As at 30 September 2004, an average of 205 staff were employed at PRO DV Software AG and its subsidiaries. This figure is based on the full-time equivalent, i.e. part-time staff, trainees, and interns have been taken into consideration on a pro rata basis.
> Equity
The company has access to a contingent capital of 230,000 euros through the issue of bearer shares with an arithmetical share in the capital stock of 1 euro each in order to grant subscription rights to employees and members of the Board of Management of PRO DV Software AG.
> Directors' Holdings
The number of shares held by the members of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board as of 30 September 2004 has remained unchanged and is as follows:
