Interim Management Report

Business Development

Earnings

The PSI Group increased its EBIT in the first quarter of 2008 to 1.3 million euros (1st) quarter 2007: 0.9 million euros). The pre-tax profit increased to 1.0 million euros $(1^{\text{st}})$ quarter 2007: 0.6 million euros), the Group annual EBIT to 0.8 million euros (1st quarter 2007: 0.4 million euros). Sales decreased to 27.4 million euros primarily as a result of the sale of the government business in mid-2007 and the more than 2 million euros smaller hardware portion (1st quarter 2007: 32.6 million euros). The volume of new orders was, with 36 million euros, about the same level as the same quarter of the previous year, which contained about 2 million euros from the government business $(1^{\text{st}}$ quarter 2007: 38 million euros). The order book volume increased to 86 million euros (31 March 2007: 79 million euros).

The Energy Management segment (electricity, gas, oil, heating, water) had sales of 12.2 million euros ( $1^*$ quarter 2007: 12.8 million euros). The EBIT was, with 0.9 million euros, slightly above the previous year (1st quarter 2007: 0.8 million euros). In the fields of electrical energy and gas, PSI expects new important export orders in the coming quarters.

Sales in the Production Management segment (industry, logistics) were, with 11.6 million euros, below the figure for the same quarter of last year $(1st$ quarter 2007: 13.4 million euros). Here, sales for goods and services delivered decreased while the volume of new orders increased. The EBIT improved significantly compared to the previous year to 0.4 million euros (1st quarter 2007: 0.1 million euros). The steel industry business developed best, continuing to expand its position internationally.

In Infrastructure Management (transport, safety, telecommunications), sales decreased to 3.6 million euros (1st quarter 2007: 6.5 million euros) as a result of a smaller portion of hardware and the sale of the government business. The EBIT was, at 0.1 million euros, at the level of the previous year $(1^{\text{st}}$ quarter 2007: 0.1 million euros).

Financial Position

The operating cash flow was positive at 2.7 million euros (1st quarter $2007: -1.2$ million euros), liquid funds increased to 21.4 million euros (31 March 2007: 13.9 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 1,030 compared to the same quarter of the previous year (31 March 2007: 1.052). PSI is planning to hire new staff by the end of the year, the focus being on export.

PSI-Shares

The PSI stock ended the 1st quarter 2008 with a final price of 4.50 euros, 23.7% 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 12.9%.

Risk Report

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

Outlook

For 2008, PSI foresees a good climate for investments in rationalization in Germany and a continued dynamic development of the strong growth in the countries in eastern Europe and Asia. In the export markets, the focus of investment is shifting increasingly from initial equipping to modernization of existing facilities (retrofitting). For PSI, this represents an increase in the accessible market potential. With the increased volume of orders and other growth opportunities resulting from large contracts in export, the starting position for targeted growth in sales for the year and the increase of the EBIT to at least 5 million euros has continued to improve. For the second quarter, PSI expects a higher volume of new orders than in the prior-year quarter and a better EBIT than in the first Ouarter of 2008.

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.
