PSI Group Data as per 30 June 2008 at a Glance (IFRS)

Interim Management Report

Business Development

Earnings

The PSI Group increased its EBIT in the first half of 2008 to 2.7 million euros (first six months of 2007: 1.8 million euros). The pre-tax profit increased to 2.2 million euros (first six months of 2007: 1.3 million euros), the Group net result to 1.9 million euros (first six months of 2007: 0.7 million euros). As a result of the sale of the government business in mid-2007 and the lower portion of 3rd party products and services, Group sales, at 57.7 million euros, were slightly below the year before (first six months of 2007: 60.5 million euros). Adjusted for these effects, this represents a growth of about 5 percent over the first six months of 2007. The volume of new orders increased by 8 percent to 78 million euros (first six months of 2007: 72 million euros), the order book volume increased by 15 percent to 98 million euros (30 June 2007: 85 million euros).

The Energy Management segment (electricity, gas, oil, heat) had sales of 25.4 million euros (first six months of 2007: 26.3 million euros). The EBIT was, with 1.6 million euros, above the value for the previous year (first six months of 2007: 1.3 million euros). In the electrical energy business, important orders were attained from Germany and Asia. PSI is expecting additional important export orders in the electrical energy and gas business units from Russia and other regions in the coming quarters.

Sales in the Production Management segment (industry, logistics) were, at 24.7 million euros, at about the same level as the previous year (first six months of 2007: 25.1 million euros). The EBIT doubled compared to the previous year to 1.0 million euros (first six months of 2007: 0.5 million euros). The steel industry business increased the most again, further expanding its market position, especially internationally, with numerous important contracts.

In Infrastructure Management (traffic, security, telecommunication) sales decreased due to the smaller portion of hardware and the sale of the government business to 7.6 million euros (first six months of 2007: 9.2 million euros). The EBIT improved slightly to 0.2 million euros (first six months of 2007: 0.1 million euros).

Financial Position

The operating cash flow was positive at 0.7 million euros (first six months of 2007: -4.1) million euros), liquid funds increased to 18.3 million euros (30 June 2007: 12.1 million euros).

Assets

Compared to 31 December 2007, there have not been any material changes in the Group's assets.

Personnel Development

The number of employees decreased slightly to 1,053 compared to the same quarter of the previous year (30 June 2007: 1.058). PSI is planning to hire new staff until the end of the year, the focus being on export.

PSI-Shares

The PSI stock ended the 1st half year of 2008 with a final price of 4.60 euros, 22 % below the final 2007 price of 5.90 euros. In the same period, the DAX sector Software Index, which includes all the software stocks in the Prime Standard of the German Stock Exchange, had a decline of 8.7 %.

Risk Report

The estimate of the corporate risk has not changed since the Annual Report for 31 December 2007.

Outlook

The share of exports in new orders at PSI increased to over 30 percent in the first six months of 2008. PSI is profiting from the high cost of energy and raw materials which are leading to additional expansion and efficiency investments, above all in the energy and heavy industries. PSI has started into the second half of the year with orders of almost 100 million euros and a very well-filled sales pipeline. The management therefore reconfirms its annual goals of about 130 million euros in sales and an EBIT of more than 5 million euros. As announced, the decision to raise the annual forecast will be made in the course of the 3rd quarter.

Notes on the consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2008

The Company

1. Business Activities and Legal Background

The business activities of PSI AG and its subsidiaries relate to the development and sale of software systems and products fulfilling the specific needs and requirements of its customers, particularly in the following industries and service lines: utilities, manufacturing, logistics, telecommunications, safety and transport. In addition, the Group provides services of all kinds in the field of data processing, sells electronic devices and operates data processing systems. The PSI Group is divided into the three core business segments energy management, production management and infrastructure management.

The Company is exposed to a wide range of risks that are similar to other companies active in the dynamic technology sector. Major risks for the development of the PSI Group lie in the success with which it markets its software systems and products, competition from larger companies, the ability to generate sufficient cash flows for future business development as well as in individual risks regarding the integration of subsidiaries. organizational changes and the cooperation with strategic partners.

Main customers are utilities and manufacturing companies in Germany, Europe and Asia. Main locations with business activities are located in Berlin, Aschaffenburg, Barsinghausen, Essen, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Karlsruhe, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart. The Company is listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt stock exchange.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2008 to 30 June 2008 were released for publication by a decision of the management on 28 June 2008.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2008 to 30 June 2008 were produced in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the data and notes prescribed for the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 31 December 2007.

2. Accounting and Valuation Principles

With regard to the principles of accounting and valuation and especially the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) see the group consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2007.

The first-time application of standards or interpretations which have not been applied voluntarily in the previous year had no impact on net assets, financial position and results of operation.

Seasonal Influences on the Business Activities 3.

Seasonal effects resulted in the PSI Group operations with regards to the receipt of maintenance revenues in the first quarter of the financial year (deferment of the influences on the result of corresponding incoming payments throughout the year) and significantly greater demand and project accounting in the fourth quarter of the financial year.

Changes in the Consolidation Group $4.$

With the agreement dated 19 May 2008, 100 % of the shares of the F/L/S FUZZY Logik Systeme GmbH, which is headquartered in Dortmund, were acquired. At the time of the acquisition the company had assets totalling KEUR 875 and liabilities of KEUR 603. Correspondingly, the net assets (at book values) were KEUR 272. In the course of breaking down the purchase price, these net assets will be offset by the costs of acquisition (KEUR 805). The resulting difference will be allocated to the intangible assets with limited utilization and the goodwill.

The following table provides a preliminary breakdown of the costs of acquisition to the market values of the assets and liabilities acquired:

  • Infrastructure Management: High-availability control system solutions designed for monitoring and economically sound operation of infrastructures in the telecommunications, transportation, public safety, environmental protection and disaster prevention areas.

Responsibility Statement

To the best of our knowledge, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group, and the interim management report of the group includes a fair review of the group's development and performance of its position, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group in the remaining months of the financial year, in accordance with German proper accounting principles of interim consolidated reporting.
