PSI Group Data as per 30 September 2004 at a Glance (IFRS)

Business Development

New orders at the PSI Group developed positively in the third quarter of 2004 and, with 31 million euros, were 19% above the previous year's value of 26 million euros. With 92 million euros, new orders in the first nine months of the current year were also above the value of 90 million for last year. Sales decreased by 14% to 84.5 million euros compare to the previous year. Thus, the book-to-bill ratio improved to 1.09. The operating result according to IFRS after nine months was at -9.1 million euros, the group result was -10.7 million euros. The operating result improved significantly compared to the first two quarters of the current year.

The Network Management segment (energy, telecommunication, transport), despite the positive development in the Electrical Energy business, in the first nine months had 15.7% lower external sales of 45.0 million euros according to IFRS. As a result of the weak market in the gas and telecommunication sectors starting in the second quarter and the decision not to capitalize research and development costs (2003: 1.2 million euros), the segment's operating result decreased to $-2.3$ million euros.

In the Production Management segment (industry, logistics), external sales decreased by 11% to 30.5 million euros. The operating result improved, amongst other reasons due to the breakeven in PSIPENTA, by $4\%$ to $-2.7$ million euros. The entire segment production management also obtained a balanced operating result in the third quarter.

In Information Management (government, service sector) external sales decreased by 17.3% to 9.1 million euros, while the EBIT dropped by 2.8 million euros to $-3.7$ million euros. Without the effect of the lost litigation with the State of Berlin in the second quarter this would correspond to an improvement of 0.8 million euros to -0.1 million euros.

The volume of orders on 30 September 2004 was, with 71 million euros about 5 million euros above the value at the end of 2003. Cash in the third quarter increased by 2 million euros to 13.6 million, or 20 % below the value of the previous year.

Personnel Development

The number of employees on 30 September was 1,131, a reduction of 95 compared to the previous year. With that the new orders per person increased by 10 % to 81,300 Euro compared to the previous year.

Special Events in the 3rd Quarter

In the third quarter PSI achieved initial successes in sales with the newly launched PSIpenta version. New orders also developed very positively in the business units metals, logistics and electrical energy.

The restructuring measures in the business units telecommunication and gas were concluded in the third quarter and will show positive effects starting in the fourth quarter. A total of 1.9 million euros in restructuring and reorganization costs are contained in the 30 September result.

Outlook

As a result of the positive development of the new orders, which continued in October, and the positive impact of the structural improvement program, the management board still expects a positive result for the fourth quarter.

Allowances for bad debts are created when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance for bad debts is based on management's best estimate of the expected future cash flows based on reasonable assumptions and projections.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract. Costs and estimated earnings contain directly allocable costs (labor cost and cost of services provided by third parties) as well as the appropriate portion of overheads including pro rata administrative expenses.

Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and related amounts are billed as follows:

Taxes on income

The value of income taxes depends on the profit and considers deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are determined with the help of the balance-oriented liability-method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the book value of an asset or a liability on the balance sheet and the fiscal estimated value.

Equity

The development of equity is shown in the representation of the development of Fixed Assets.

In the first nine months of 2004, the Company acquired 20,807 shares in several instalments for a total purchase price of EUR 87k. The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method and is shown as a reduction of equity.

Segment reporting according to Network Management, Production Management and Information Management

The development of the segment results can be found in the Group segment reporting.

5. Transition of the accounting from US-GAAP to IFRS

Following the ratification by the European Union's Council of Ministers of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the application of international accounting standards (EU Regulation) in June 2002, all capital-market-oriented companies with registered offices in the EU are required to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fiscal years starting after December 31, 2004.

IFRS 1 "First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" was applied for preparation of the first set of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The date of transition is December 31, 2004 (IFRS opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2003). All assets and liabilities were recorded in accordance with the IFRS provisions applicable as of March 31, 2004. By then, IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" in particular had been revised and IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IFRS 5 "Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (March 2004)" issued. All changes resulting from the changes in accounting policy have been offset against revenue reserves in the IFRS opening balance sheet without affecting income.

PSI AG makes use of the following exemption options:

Pension provisions

PSI AG has recorded all actuarial gains and losses from defined benefit obligations in the opening balance sheet (fresh start).

Accumulated foreign currency differences

PSI AG has reclassified the translation differences resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiaries as of the date of transfer recorded as accumulated changes in equity to revenue reserves.

Improvement Project

In the scope of the Improvement Project, members of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) revised some existing IAS. Where relevant for PSI AG, those standards were generally already taken into account in the opening balance sheet. The balance sheet, for instance, was classified according to residual term pursuant to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". In addition, minority interests are now recognized in the equity section separate from the equity components allocable to the majority shareholders of the parent company. The profits and losses allocable to minority interests must be reported on the face of the income statement.

Material effects of the transition

In comparison to the accounting, measurement and consolidation methods pursuant to US GAAP presented in the notes to the financial statements for 2003 (included in the annual report), the following differences in accounting pursuant to IFRS had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of PSI AG:

Impairment of goodwill

$a)$ Procedure according to US GAAP

The impairment test under US GAAP was performed on the basis of reporting unit. By analogy to SFAS 131 (Segment Reporting), a reporting unit is defined as an operative segment or sub-segment of an operative segment ("Management Approach").

The impairment test was performed for the main legal entities of the segments.

In US GAAP, the impairment test is based on a two-step approach at the reporting unit level. In a first step, the fair value of the reporting unit (determined on the basis of the discounted cash flows) is compared against its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, an impairment test has to be conducted in a second step by comparing the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill to its assumed implied fair value (fair value of the reporting unit less fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit including the fair value of identifiable intangible assets). If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recorded at an amount equal to the difference.

$b$ Procedure according to IFRS

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published the standard "Business Combinations" (IFRS 3) on March 31, 2004 which governs accounting for corporate mergers. At the same time, the new IFRS 3 amended IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets".

A central element of IFRS 3 is the change of accounting treatment for acquired goodwill. Whereas goodwill was previously subject to scheduled amortization over its useful life, the new IFRS exclusively provide for impairment tests and, as a result, the recognition of impairment losses, thereby following the example of US GAAP.

Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever "triggering events" occur. A triggering event could occur if the fair value of a cash-generating unit has significantly changed since the last calculation of the recoverable amount or if events have occurred that indicate that the recoverable amount is likely to fall short of the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit if recalculated.

In addition, an impairment test must be performed annually if certain indicators are present.

The annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life can be performed at any time during the reporting period, the only condition being that the same intangible assets or goodwill must be measured consistently as of the same measurement date.

The first step in an impairment test is to determine the recoverable amount of a cashgenerating unit. It is defined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is defined as the price which could be recovered in the sale of an asset or a cash-generating unit between two knowledgeable, consenting and independent business partners after deducting costs to sell. An asset's or cash-generating unit's value in use is determined by the present value of the estimated cash flows expected to be generated from its current use.

Once the recoverable amount has been determined, it is compared against the corresponding net carrying amount of the assets and, if applicable, liabilities summarized in the cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill. If the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount, the cash-generating unit and the goodwill allocable to it is not impaired and thus carried forward at its previous carrying amount. In this event there is no need to record an impairment loss.

If, by contrast, the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit, an impairment loss must be recognized. It is expensed with effect on income at an amount equal to the difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount. The impairment is initially offset against the existing goodwill.

If the impairment loss amounting to the difference between recoverable amount and carrying amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds the goodwill, the remaining loss is allocated to the cash-generating unit's other assets, writing these down in proportion to their carrying amounts. In this context, the carrying amount of individual assets may only be written down to the highest of net selling price, value in use or zero. The corresponding charges must also be posted to the income statement.

Impairments recorded on goodwill or intangible assets with an indefinite useful life may not be reversed.

Impairment losses determined in the course of a transitional impairment test in accordance with IFRS 1 must be deducted directly from equity without being recorded in the income statement as an expense.

The recoverable amount is determined on the basis of the value in use. The calculation is based on a pretax discount rate of 11%.

By contrast to US GAAP, IFRS does not require the impairment test to be performed on the basis of the segments or a sub-segment, but the cash-generating unit. The difference in definitions of the units subject to the test led to existing US GAAP reporting units being subdivided further for IFRS. This produced impairment losses of EUR 6,897 k in the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2003 and of EUR 2,092 k in the fiscal year 2003.

In the impairment test performed, the impairment loss amounting to the difference between carrying amount and recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit in the network management segment exceeded its goodwill. The excess impairment loss was allocated to the cash-generating unit's capitalized software development costs. An impairment loss of EUR 242 k was charged.

Provisions for "Altersteilzeit" (German Phased Retirement Scheme)

In accordance with IFRS, provisions must be set up for all employees that are expected to make use of the scheme. The discounted step-up amounts must be considered when determining the provision. Pursuant to US GAAP, a provision is not set up until a contractual agreement has been signed with the employees in question. The step-up amounts are saved up ratably over the employee's period of active service. The different calculation bases under IFRS and US GAAP led to an increase in the provision for "Altersteilzeit" at PSI AG.

Pension provisions

With respect to the existing IFRS option to report interest for pension provisions either under functional costs – as required by US GAAP – or under interest, PSI AG decided for a disclosure under interest income.

Deferred taxes

The individual adjustments arising from the transition to IFRS also led to adjustments to deferred taxes. These concern deferred taxes from pensions, capitalized software development costs and goodwill.

Effects on the cash flow statement

Contrary to the presentation in US GAAP, where short-term financial liabilities are shown in the cash flow from operating activities, they are now contained in the cash flow from financing activities. Further non-cash effects of the transition mainly resulted from the impairment of goodwill and adjustments to the pension provision.

A reconciliation of equity from US GAAP to IFRS as of January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003 as well as the net loss for the fiscal years from January 1 to December 31, 2003 and from January 1 to September 30, 2003 (date of transition of the quarterly reporting from US-GAAP to IFRS):
