+++ Revenues: +21 percent up to 32.5 million Euro
    (previous year: 26.9 million Euro)
+++ non-capitalization of software development costs and risk provision
    affect result

Hamburg / Mainz, March 24th, 2009: nextevolution AG (ISIN DE000A0JC0A2 /
Prime Standard) announces the preliminary figures of the business year
2008. In the reporting period (January 1st, - December 31st, 2008), the
company continued its growth path and boosts its revenues in comparison to
the period of the previous year by 21 percent from 26.9 million Euro by 5.6
million Euro up to 32.5 million Euro. Besides a multitude of projects with
medium-size companys, nextevolution became more and more accepted within
tenders of large-sized-concerns and the Public Sector and emphasized its
leading market position as a content management solutions provider. Besides
ADAC German Automobile Club, among others Basler Versicherungen AG and
Deutsche Post AG opts for nextevolution as ECM-specialist. More over, the
industry focus of the company benefits the acquisition of new customers. In
the segments 'Real Estate Management' and 'Broadcasting', nextevoution
acquired among others projects from Deutsche Annington AG, Bayerischer
Rundfunk, ProSieben/Sat.1, DSF Deutsches Sportfernsehen and RTL 2.

The development in revenues of the core segment 'Content Management
Solutions' grew inconsistent. As revenues in the environment of the
softwareplatform SAP developed positively, the revenues in the environment
of the softwareplatform IBM underachieved. The segment 'Enterprise
Infrastructure Solutions', founded in May 2008, contributed 3.3 million
Euro to total revenues and generated a positve contribution to income
despite start-up costs.

EBITDA was affected in the reporting period mainly by the
non-capitalization of software development costs in the amount of two
million Euro. In order to accomodate the current economic environment and
to anticipate future potential risks now, nextevolution arranged specific
provisions on receivables and an adjustment of the inventorys concerning
the expected investment climate. These positions affected the result by
another 0.8 million Euro. In addition the absence of a part of the revenues
from license and a shift of revenues affected the result by approximately
one million Euro, as stated within the nine-months-figures 2008. These
effects lead to a negative EBITDA, that is expected to be between 1.0 and
1.5 million Euro.

The market position of nextevolution AG in the content management market
and the development of the business activities in 2008 build a firm base to
continue the growth of the company in 2009 and to realise a sustainable
earning power.
