Course of business and position of the company

4 In the first three months of 2004 PRO DV Software AG posted a gross performance at previous year's level of 4.2 million Euros. Sales revenues for the same time period were 3.6 million Euros (2003: 3.8 million Euros).

Despite the ongoing stagnation of the economy and the associated reservation towards awarding IT projects, PRO DV was able to maintain its level of performance. Thanks to consistent cost management and reduced personnel expenses, it was again possible to attain a significant cost savings reflected in the results.

Thus the operating result (EBIT) improved significantly in the first quarter to –0.09 million Euros following on from –0.75 million Euros in the months January – March 2003. The earnings per share increased during the same period from –0.02 Euros following on from –0.18 Euros in first quarter 2003.

Thanks to the substantially more strongly developed and industry-oriented orientation of the company in terms of sales, with orders received in the amount of 4.4 million Euros and an order backlog of 5.7 million Euros on the effective date of this report, it was possible to stabilise capacity utilization of the areas of the company. Moreover, the balance sheet situation at PRO DV is good, with a balance-sheet total of 26.3 million Euros and an equity ratio of 79.6 percent. The cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period amounted to 12.9 million Euros.

5

Before the backdrop of the adjusted personnel capacity and an increase in the efficiency of project handling in conjunction with stabilisation of the trend of business, the company is standing by its earnings projection for 2004 and anticipates a balanced result for the overall year.

Appendix

12 > Economic development

The markets addressed by PRO DV have again been characterised by cautious investment over the past 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 have not yet lived up to expectations.

> Events of particular significance

In February, PRO DV and SAP AG, Walldorf, concluded a partnership agreement. Together, they will develop and market new solutions that create significant added value for customers. They will kick off their partnership with vertical applications for power companies with an emphasis on the area of SAP portal technology.

Against this background, PRO DV has developed possible applications of the SAP portal technology for the power supply sector. Thus solutions have already been created, on the basis of which, for example, information from the SAP system, the Internet, geographical information systems or other data sources can be combined. For visualising the information, PRO DV has developed and gained SAP-certification for optically standardised functional modules for characteristic workflows in marketing and maintenance.

> Events of particular significance after the end of the reporting period

There have been no events of particular significance within the company since 31.03.2004.

> Research and development
