QUARTERLY REPORT ACCORDING TO IFRS AS PER 30 SEPTEMBER 2008 NOVAVISIONS AG
LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS Dear Shareholders, Novavisions witnessed several activities in the first nine months of the financial year. Though the approach of potential partners and investors for the division NovaStor a principal task of the company did not yet provide results which meet the expectations of Management Board. Still this does not change the aim to develop a small but valuable and actively managed portfolio which is to lead to significant value enhancement within a period of 3-5 years. As of 30.09.2008 the investment portfolio composed as follows: - NovaStor Corp., USA (100%) - NovaStor GmbH, Hamburg (100%) - NovaStor Software AG, Rotkreuz (100%) - Dynavisions GmbH, Gauting (46%) - Dynavisions Schweiz AG, Rotkreuz (40.7%) - MultiCom Software OY, Finland (40%) - Mount10 PCM GmbH, Rotkreuz (25%) Portfolio development The development of equity investments in 2008 vary. The positive development of the NovaStor companies has been sustained. The release of the new version NovaBACKUP 10 was slightly delayed in the first half year. This produced additional expense and slowed down growth development in the first half year. However, the very positive acceptance of the product on the market shows the high performance capacity of NovaStor. Particularly pleasant is the best buy Award from PC World USA re-won by NovaBACKUP 10. This successful product provides a very good value creation. Try out the performance of the new solution privately or for your company by downloading the software easily and free of charge from www.novastor.de or www.novastor.com. 2
In addition, NovaNet-WEB will be appearing in a brand new version and will be available in the yearend business. NovaStor will be a profitable investment for the Novavisions shareholders. Considering the transactions of larger IT companies and also of private equity and venture capital enterprises in the data storage market, Novavisions anticipates a high profit potential. The 40% equity investment in MultiCom Software OY also developed well. The company improved again the very good results from the previous period of the first 9 month of the year. As a result of recurrent business of many years standing with major customers such as TietoEnator, MultiCom has created a solid foundation for continued positive development. Novavisions, the MultiCom Management Board and other shareholders agree that the positive trend facilitates the examination of all future options. This investment can therefore also be assumed to have upside potential. An equity investment of 30% in Dynavisions Schweiz AG was sold to a German group of investors. Together with this group a viable business and finance model has been prepared. A part of the developed platform is to be sold to a strong financial partner. There is nothing new at Dynavisions GmbH. Novavisions now holds 46% in the company and is dependant on finding viable paths with the other shareholders. For precautionary reasons, the Board of Directors of Novavisions decided at the end of 2007 to make a value adjustment of EUR 2.1 million for the purchase price, as well as a major part of the loans going to Dynavisions GmbH. Therefore, a further depreciation risk is not anticipated. 3
New bond In June the company placed a 4% bond with Performance Tracker with a term to 06/16/2011 as part of a private placement. The subscribers to the bond were predominantly holders of the old 7% convertible bond. The owners of the new bond will receive in addition to the 4% coupon a maximum 10% participation of the amount exceeding a minimum transaction price for the NovaStor companies of EUR 6 million. The bonds are listed at the open market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (WKN A0TWJZ). The major part of the revenue was used to buy the old 7% convertible bond with a term to 2010. This reduces the interest burden as well as the dilution for the shareholders and the term could be extended by 1 year. Prospects Only once all majority investments have been sold and operative results of companies do not need to be consolidated, the annual financial statements of Novavisions AG can be appreciated without any great necessity for clarification. Now that the Dynavisions Schweiz AG share has been reduced to below 50%, only a majority shareholding is held in the NovaStor companies. It is the declared objective for 2008 to show a Net Asset Value (NAV). This will then clearly show what the investment company costs and generates and highlight the potential in the portfolio. Words of thanks We would like to express our thanks for the confidence placed in us. At this point our thanks go to the employees of the different portfolio companies for their great commitment and their professionalism. We will systematically pursue our new strategy as investment company in order to deliver longterm success to the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders. Sincerely yours, Adrian Knapp CEO and Chairman 4

Dynavisions Schweiz AG (40.7% equity investment) is an innovative entertainment service company with its headquarters in Switzerland (Rotkreuz) and a subsidiary in Germany (Munich). The company offers "dynatv" offering TV, film, games and music services allowing the user free access to thousands of TV channels, movies, games and music channels on their own TV. dyna TV aggregates TV channels, special interest content and portals such as youtube and provides them in a clean and clear way, sorted into 12 genres and easy to navigate on the Flat TV in your living room or workplace. The service is also available in HD. At the start, around 2,500 TV channels in over 20 languages will be available. Additionally, there will also be films available in the genres of independents, film academies, horror, erotic and festivals. The majority of this offer is free of charge. The TV experience is complemented with games, music channels and a classic VoD (video on demand) function, allowing the viewer to watch films from the most important studios against a fee. dynatv is received via an existing or new set top box or any media extender which is dynatv enabled. Only minimal bandwidth is required and in most cases an existing DSL contract with a provider of choice is usually enough. dynatv allows the user to access many of these functionalities free of charge and in some cases even in HD quality on the flat screen TV in the living room, bedroom or in the office. The service is financed by advertising, which is implemented around the navigation menu; around credits of dedicated content or superimposed as sub titles. The total of 6 million shares of the company are owned to 40.7% by Novavisions AG, 6% is owned by the management and 53.3% is owned by a range of shareholders (public float). The shares are traded on the open market at the Frankfurt stock exchange under WKN A0MVBY or ISIN CH0032140961. Technical Managing Director is Ulrich Strauß. Dynavisions' web presence is www.dynavisions.com. the topical user generated content. Content is King! IPTV (TV on the internet) is at the moment still rarely used. Despite the fact that thousands of high quality TV programs are already aired only on the internet, these programs are still hardly noticed on the PC/notebook and are virtually non-existent on the flat screen TV. Microsoft's Mediacenter is not really a solution to this problem, since this application feels too "wooden", too technical, hard to install and cannot be used without a (Home) PC. Also satellite TV is not really an alternative. There is not much room left for selected topics, ethnic minorities or special areas of interest or for 10
The viewer is rightly fussy and no longer prepared to accept an uninspired full service programme, which no longer corresponds to the viewer s interests and viewing habits. The desire to be able to choose the programming freely at any time is definitely present and bigger than ever. This is the background for dynatv s service, which puts the customer interest into the foreground and gives the user the freedom of choice back but without having to forgo the classic TV channels and programs. dynatv uses largely the huge amount of freely available content on the web and achieves a terrific breadth of content. Market Experts compare the change of our today's viewing habits with the change of the listening habits and buying patterns of customers in the music industry. New technology and especially IPTV offer large and small providers completely new opportunities. Google has shown a completely new way with its acquisition of youtube. Advertising revenue is anticipated by cleverly integrating advertisement into self generated content. dynatv enhances this model even further and aggregates not only youtube videos but also access all available content and sorts them by genres in a clean and user-friendly fashion. dynatv wants to secure its share of advertising revenue from the internet and commercial TV, but also create additional revenue streams from video on demand. Both market segments are therefore relevant for dynatv. The advertising market for the TV segments targeted by dyna TV has not been fully analyzed yet and relevant figures are not available as yet, hence the potential can only be assumed with the help of model calculations. The combination of local, national and international TV advertising market, however, gives a very interesting figure. dynatv is interactive and in contrast to normal TV it can be exactly monitored who is watching which advertising and for how long. This should create a much better added value. For VoD revenue there are many figures available. The film industry is preparing for offered content, available title by title, to make the chosen title available to the viewer at the precise moment when the viewer wants to watch it. Worldwide revenue from video on demand (VoD) is going to exceed by 2012 the ten billion dollar mark according to a recent study by the British market research company Informa Telecoms & Media. While the global VoD revenue was 4.8 billion dollar last year and half of this was generated in the USA; by 2012 it is expected that 909 million households will have access to VoD or Near-VoD. This would correspond to about 78 % of all TV households worldwide. Northern America and Europe are going to have the lion s share of VoD revenue with a combined 83% of all turnover, while Northern America is going to achieve almost 50% of the revenue share. In Europe, the UK will be leading according to Informa Telecoms & Media it is expected that revenues of 667 million Dollars are achieved by 2012. France and Germany are not far behind. 11
