14 Nov. 2006 - In the first nine months of 2006, OnVista AG
(DE0005461602) recorded clear double-digit percentage growth both in
sales and the operating result and exceeded its own expectations. All
relevant key figures improved steadily over the three quarters. The
OnVista Group expects an excellent fourth quarter and has raised its
profit projections.

The accumulated group sales amounted to Euro 8.93 million in the nine
months period of 2006 and were consequently above plan. This
corresponds to an increase of 30% compared to the same period last
year (9 mths./05: Euro 6.86 mill.). In relation to the third quarter,
the company generated the highest quarterly sales to date, totalling
Euro 3.24 million as planned (Q3/05: Euro 2.64 mill.; +23%).

The development in the earnings position was also very encouraging.
In the first nine months of 2006, all key performance figures were
above plan. The comparable figures for the previous year were clearly
exceeded especially in the operating area. EBITDA rose by 53% to Euro
1.00 million (9 mths./05: Euro 0.65 mill.). EBIT increased by 67% to
Euro 0.52 million (9 mths./05: Euro 0.31 mill.).

Both the pre-tax income and the net income grew at a lower rate than
the operating result. This is due to the sale of the 36% investment
in IS.Teledata AG in December 2005, as a result of which this
previously at equity reported company no longer contributes to group
profits in the current financial year (9 mths./05: Euro 0.47 mill.).
In the nine months period, the pre-tax income nevertheless rose by
5.0% to Euro 1.43 million (9 mths./05: EUR 1.36 mill.). The pre-tax
profit to sales ratio came to 16% (9 mths./05: 20%). The net income
in the first nine months of 2006 totalled Euro 0.96 million (9
mths./05: Euro 0.91 mill.; +4,9%).

Although the earnings position improved each quarter, the key
performance figures for the third quarter - except for EBITDA -
stagnated (EBIT) or declined as planned compared to the same quarter
last year (pre-tax and net income). This was, however, not due to a
disappointing Q3/06, but an exceptionally good comparative quarter
2005 during which an excellent performance was achieved with
unexpectedly high sales at a low cost basis. Another reason is the
described abolition of the profit contribution by IS.Teledata in
2006.

The key performance figures for the third quarter of 2006 in detail:
EBITDA rose by 14% to Euro 0.47 million (Q3/05: Euro 0.41 mill.).
EBIT came in at exactly the same level as last year with Euro 0.29
million. The pre-tax income amounted to Euro 0.61 million (Q3/05:
Euro 0.74 mill.; -17%). The net income came to Euro 0.33 million
(Q3/05: Euro 0.48 mill.; -31%).

As at 30 Sep. 2006, the liquid funds of the OnVista Group amounted to
Euro 39.13 million (31.12.2005: Euro 40.09 mill.). The cash value per
share stood at Euro 5.84 (31.12.2005: Euro 5.98). The decrease in
liquid funds despite the excellent business trend is primarily due to
the distribution of the dividend for the financial year 2005, the
purchase of treasury stock for servicing stock options as well as
investments in IT and product development. The operating cash flow
was positive at Euro 1.07 million and exceeded the previous year's
figure (9 mths./05: Euro 0.57 mill.).

As a result of the present business trend and the good order book,
the Executive Board of OnVista AG expects an excellent fourth quarter
and has raised the profit projections. For the year 2006 as a whole,
the OnVista Group anticipates a pre-tax income in excess of Euro 2.3
million (projection from March 2006: more than Euro 2.0 million).
With regard to sales, OnVista still expects around Euro 12.5 million.
This would correspond to a rise of 28% in sales (2005: Euro 9.74
mill.) and more than 43% in respect of the pre-tax income (2005: Euro
1.61 mill.).
