15 May 2006 - OnVista AG (DE0005461602) exceeded its own expectations
in the first quarter of 2006. The company also recorded strong growth
and advanced its net income overproportional to sales.

In the first three months of 2006, group sales amounted to Euro 2.75
mill. This corresponds to an increase of 37% compared to the same
period last year (Q1/05: Euro 2.00 mill.).

Since costs grew less strongly than sales, all key performance
figures improved markedly in the period under review and were
positive.

In the first quarter of 2006, EBITDA almost trebled (+178%) to Euro
0.23 mill. (Q1/05: '000 Euro 81). In the first quarter of 2006, EBIT
totalled '000 Euro 97. In the same quarter last year, EBIT was still
negative at '000 Euro -30.

Following the sale of the 36% investment in IS.Teledata AG in
December 2005, this previously at equity reported company no longer
contributes to group profits. Nevertheless, OnVista AG increased its
pre-tax group result by 31% to Euro 0.40 mill. (Q1/05: Euro 0.30
mill.). In the period under review, the pre-tax to profit ratio came
to 14% (Q1/05: 15%). Below the line, the group net income totalled
Euro 0.30 mill. in the first quarter of 2006. This corresponds to a
rise of 45% compared to the figures for the relevant period last year
(Q1/05: Euro 0.21 mill.).

As at 31 March 2006, the liquid funds of the OnVista Group amounted
to Euro 38.73 mill. (31.12.2005: Euro 40.09 mill.). The cash value
per share stood at Euro 5.78 (31.12.2005: Euro 5.98). The decrease in
liquid funds despite the positive business trend is due mainly to the
reduction of trade accounts payable, bonus payments and investments
in treasury stock for servicing stock options. In the year 2006 as a
whole, OnVista anticipates a marked inflow of cash funds from its
operating business.

The Executive Board reaffirms its annual projections: For the year
2006 as a whole, the OnVista Group expects sales to rise by more than
25% to around Euro 12.5 mill. (2005: Euro 9.74 mill.) as well as
overproportional growth in profits: The pre-tax group result is to
increase by around 35% to more than Euro 2 mill. (2005: Euro 1.61
mill.).
