IVU Traffic Technologies AG 2. Letter to Our Shareholders

Dear shareholders, dear friends of IVU,

The first quarter of any fiscal year has always been the weakest period for IVU. We generate

roughly half our revenues in the fourth quarter, when our public-sector customers – public

transport companies – use up their budgets.

Nevertheless, concerning revenues 2003 got off to a worse start than did 2002 - and it was

even worse than expected. Although both EBIT and our consolidated net income each rose

more than 40 percent over the previous year's figures in the period from January to March,

the first quarter nevertheless saw revenues drop 4.4 percent to € 4.3 million. The main rea-

son for this is cautious capital spending on the part of our customers in the Transport and In-

formation Logistics segments.

It is clear that we will probably not be able to meet the sales targets forecast in our 2002 An-

nual Report. Instead, we expect sales revenues for the entire 2003 to remain at roughly the

same level as the previous year. As a way to further improve IVU's earnings in spite of this

setback and pay off the existing debts of TTi Systems AG starting next year, we will unfortu-

nately have to lay off around forty employees.

This is a painful step, but one that we must take responsibly. In light of foreseeable sales

shortfalls in 2003, immediate cost cutting measures are absolutely necessary in order to se-

cure IVU's future. We strongly believe that this measure with help improve the company's

health, making it profitable and successful.

On the whole, the market situation at the beginning of 2003 varies greatly from one business

segment to the next. While Transport and Information Logistics are suffering the effects of

cautious capital spending on the part of their customers, our largest business segment, Pub-

lic Transport, is well on its way to success. Accounting for over three quarters of our reve-

nues, this segment once again managed to generate a number of highly attractive new or-

ders in the first three months of the year.

2

IVU Traffic Technologies AG Combined with the gross result, which rose significantly over last year's figures and – to an

even greater extent than sales revenues – represents the company's actual value-added, this

development has put us in a generally optimistic mood.

Sincerely,

The Management Board

Prof. Dr. Ernst Denert

Dr. Olaf Schemczyk

3. Management Report 3.1. Business Segments 3.1.1. Public Transport

Public Transport, our core business segment, has a uniquely broad and harmonized range of

software and hardware products for public transport companies, one which is gaining in

popularity both in Germany and abroad. During the first quarter, we generated a number of

very attractive orders, especially in the international market. The most important single order

for this period is emblematic of our systems' strengths: for the first time, our MICROBUS

planning and scheduling system was able to overcome opposition from its strongest interna-

tional competitors. As the general contractor, Siemens AG commissioned IVU to install

MICROBUS in its new subway line in Bangkok. Measuring 20 kilometers long, the line con-

nects 18 stations in downtown Bangkok, a city that is home to eight million people. The IVU

system will be used to plan train operation and driver deployment. The main features that

convinced Siemens AG to chose MICROBUS were the system's flexibility and adaptability to

other systems. This will be the third cooperation project between Siemens and IVU in Asia.

The "Sky Train" elevated railway in Bangkok and the airport feeder line in Kuala Lumpur, Ma-

laysia, both run on the basis of IVU's most successful product.

Our Ticketing unit did especially brisk business in the first quarter, benefiting enormously

from the trend toward placing railway lines into private hands. Two of these new railway op-

erators went right ahead and invested in IVU ticketing products. Rhenus Keolis, a subsidiary

of the Rhenus Logistics Group and Keolis S.A., the largest private railway operator in France,

3

IVU Traffic Technologies AG ordered additional mobile automatic ticket vending machines and the new i.box pda ticket

vending system. Based on conventional PDA computers, this system enables train conduc-

tors to print tickets and receipts for additional services right at the passenger's seat.

The Connex Group, a leading private railway operator in Germany, also selected IVU's

i.box.pda system for use in its long-distance InterConnex trains. Over the course of a two-

week trial, Connex tested the mobile ticket vending system in the InterConnex trains running

between Gera and Rostock. The company also compared them directly with the mobile ticket

printers used by Deutsche Bahn conductors. "We are happy with the IVU solution in every

respect," says Robert Kohl, sales director at Connex Verkehr GmbH. "We will continue using

the devices." Although the PDAs will be used on the Gera-Rostock line, Connex also plans to

equip additional lines with the IVU solution and integrate other software functions, including

the management of "black lists" – containing invalid or blocked credit cards – for cashless

ticket sales along with the management and automatic encryption of fare receipts.

3.1.2. Transport Logistics

This business segment, which develops systems for scheduling, controlling and monitoring

large lorry fleets, launched an innovative new product on the market in early 2003. For the

first time, a lease version of ContourWeb, a complex transport logistics system developed by

IVU, is available as an online subscription service. Known as ContourX, the new service is

aimed specifically at small and medium-sized companies who want to plan and control their

vehicle fleets or field service personnel without having to spend a lot of money on server sys-

tems, hardware and IT equipment. A cooperative distribution agreement with Blaupunkt, the

leading European supplier of car radios and navigation equipment, also appears to be quite

promising. Blaupunkt's new series of on-board computers for use in lorries and other com-

mercial vehicles has a simple interface to the ContourWeb system from IVU.

The modules for the Combitour platform of our Waste Management Logistics unit are part of

a sophisticated range of products and services for waste management companies. In March,

we were delighted to welcome the representatives of 47 waste management companies to

our fourth Combitour conference in Berlin – the largest group ever. Combitour was generally

described as user-friendly and modern, and our customer support received a great deal of

4

IVU Traffic Technologies AG praise. IVU's product helps companies in the waste management business efficiently deal

with the current trend toward concentration in this market. During the first quarter, IVU was

able to attract new customers for Combitour, including the Rethmann waste management

group, Alba subsidiary Havelländische Abfallwirtschaftsgesellschaft mbH and Linz AG, our

first Combitour customer in Austria. Hamburger Stadtreinigung will begin using Combitour in

regular service for its System Waste (household waste and “Gelbe Tonne” recyclables) and

Container segments. The IVU system will organize and monitor over 400,000 weekly collec-

tions in Hamburg.

3.1.3. Information Logistics

Our new easyGovernment unit also attracted public attention in early 2003. IVU coordinated

the Berlin Mobile Citizen Services project, which won the German e-government competition

over the nearly one hundred other contenders. The world's first public office to be brought to

the citizens was awarded a prize at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, further proof of IVU's

outstanding expertise in the forward-looking field of e-government. The Mobile Citizen Ser-

vices project, which is the only one of its kind anywhere in the world, is aimed at combining

all administrative tasks of many different Berlin agencies into a standard platform and making

them available not only online in the public offices, but also through mobile communications.

To accomplish this, agents are equipped with mobile terminals that they can use to adminis-

ter public services locally wherever the people need them. The mobile citizen services will

give the public access to housing subsidies, family and youth matters, alien legal affairs, reg-

istration procedures, identification matters and lost property. In developing the software, IVU

is able to build upon earlier work that it has performed for public agencies in Berlin over the

pas two years. Trial operation of the mobile citizen services will begin in 2004 under real-life

conditions in Berlin's Spandau and Pankow districts.

This is the second success that IVU Traffic Technologies AG has to report in the area of e-

government solutions. In February, the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior commissioned

IVU to implement an e-government strategy for the entire state. Otto Schily, the German

Federal Minister of the Interior also got to know IVU when he visited the company's booth at

CeBIT and learned about the system used to calculate the results of the 2002 federal elec-

tions, which has generated enormous interest from the German states as well as abroad. It is

5

IVU Traffic Technologies AG the intention of the Federal Election Commissioner for the IVU system to be further devel-

oped for the 2004 European Elections. In addition, the system can be customized to nearly

any election procedure without problems.

3.2. Foreign companies

Our branch office in the U.K. has a new general manager, Alistair Quigley, who is an IT ex-

pert and has a thorough understanding of the public transport market. For five years, he

worked for National Express, one of the largest British public transport companies. The pub-

lic transport market in the U.K., which anticipates heavy investment activity over the next few

years, offers IVU excellent opportunities, since our existing customers there will provide us

with outstanding references, and we already have a solid footing in this country.

3.3. Financial position

During the first three months of the year, IVU's revenues declined 4.4 percent over the previ-

ous year, from € 4.5 million to just € 4.3 million. This is roughly 12 percent of the revenues

now anticipated for the whole year, relative to the previous year's level, and represents a

typical sales trend based on the orders placed by IVU's customers. The sales slump is the

result of cautious capital spending by the private customers of our Transport and Information

Logistics divisions.

The gross result rose 16.3 percent to € 5.7 million. The gross result reflects the company's

actual value-added to a greater extent than do revenues. As a result of the 10.3 percent drop

in personnel expenses and further cutbacks in other operating expenses, earnings before in-

terest and taxes (EBIT) rose 41.5 percent over the same period in the previous year, ending

up at € -2.4 million. The € -2.5 million consolidated net income was 40.5 percent better than

the figure for the first quarter of 2002.

6

IVU Traffic Technologies AG 3.4. Outlook for 2003

After the first quarter, we expect revenues for the current fiscal year to remain at roughly the

same level as last year. Due to the personnel measures introduced, we are nevertheless

confident that both EBIT and net income results will rise in 2003. These personnel measures

will have a positive effect on results, saving roughly € 0.3 million in the current year and two

million in 2004. Orders as of 31 March 2003 were worth € 16.3 million.

3.5. Personnel development

The weak sales development in the Transport and Information Logistics segments antici-

pated after the first three months of the current fiscal year will force us to make deep cuts in

our personnel capacity. For operating reasons, we will unfortunately have to lay off around

forty people, thereby reducing IVU's workforce to 285 full-time employees. A redundancy

scheme was worked out in jointly in intensive and highly constructive discussions with the

works council.

Human Resources 2003 2002 Change No. of employees as of 31st March 372 408 -9% Personnel capacity 1st Jan – 31st. March 326 364 -10% 4. IVU Stock

We are not yet happy with the price of IVU's stock, which has been valued at around 80

cents since the beginning of the year, with some upward and downward movement. How-

ever, in early May IVU's stock rose over twenty percent to just under 1 €. Since the publica-

tion of our 2002 financial statements, we have identified new interest in our stock, expressed

by a significantly higher trade volume. In general, investors are currently focusing even more

on large companies. Nevertheless, we think that IVU's stock is undervalued in light of the

7

IVU Traffic Technologies AG turnaround in earnings we have achieved as well as our position in the public transport mar-

ket and our innovations. We remain optimistic that our successful efforts to consolidate IVU

will be recognized by the capital market over the medium term.

5. Quarterly Financial Statement

The consolidated financial statement was drawn up according to the stipulations of the Inter-

national Accounting Standards (IAS) of the International Accounting Standards Committee

(IASC) in effect on the closing date and taking into account the interpretations of the Stand-

ing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The stipulations of the German Commercial Code

(HGB) and the IAS diverge on certain important details.
