Ad Hoc Notice in accord with § 15 WphG

Hanover, 25 April 2007, The Viscom AG achieved revenues of € 10,716
thousand in the first quarter 2007. This corresponds to a decrease of 18.0
% from the comparable quarter last year. Behind this development is a
temporary purchasing restraint on the part of certain customers of the
Viscom Group. This reserve is conditioned by the development of a
high-performance new inspection system and its announcement for the second
half year 2007. In the segment Asia, the establishment of a new application
center has led to a distinctly higher number of customer inquiries. These
customer evaluations, however, have positively influenced revenues for the
first quarter 2007 to a limited extent.

The EBIT reached € -108 thousand in the first three months of 2007
,compared to € 2,864 thousand in last year's first quarter. This is
conditioned by the comparably low revenues as well as numerous investments
by the Viscom Group in technology, personnel, and the global company
organization. The Viscom AG expects a clearly positive effect from these
investments for the second half of 2007 and therefore projects an EBIT
margin in the amount of 15 - 17 %. Company revenues should reach € 57 to 60
million.

Viscom attained earnings after taxes of € 58 thousand (previous year: €
1,730 thousand), due to the positive financial income from investment of
share issue capital.
