adesso Annual Report 2007 has been praised for setting an example

Dortmund/Cologne, 13 November 2008 – The Annual Report 2007 of adesso has been praised as being particularly exemplary. The editors of the publishers “Deutsche Standards” have chosen the Annual Report 2007 of the IT provider from more than 1000 financial statements and specified it in its synopsis of the 100 “exemplary financial statements”. In the annual publication the most successful economic reviews of companies quoted at the stock exchange are presented.

A presentation of those reports is made which are outstanding in terms of content-related transparency, linguistic quality and creative courage measured according to a generally acknowledged catalogue of criteria. The annual report of the IT company located in Dortmund was evaluated as being a role model regarding structure, content and design.

“The positive assessment of our financial statement is especially pleasing for adesso AG as a newcomer at the stock exchange and confirms our activities to reach a high level of awareness on the capital market”, says Christoph Junge, Chief Financial Officer responsible for Mergers & Acquisitions as well as for Investor Relations. “Our benchmark is the trust our shareholders and new investors put in us, and this is exactly why we rely on an open and transparent communication policy.”

The members of the jury especially honoured the clear layout as well as the clear thematic structure of the adesso annual report. The presentation of the individual business fields has also been highlighted as to be of a “very clear structure and a comprehensible description”. In addition the detailed and serious character of the statement also proved to be particularly convincing as well as the strict implementation of the company-specific CI elements of the jury.

The compendium “Exemplary Financial Statements” includes in its most recent edition 100 selected company reports as well as contributions made by experts of Thilo M. Tern – CAT Consultants GmbH & Co, Klaus Rainer Kirchhoff - Kirchhoff Consult AG und Prof. Gisela Grosse, University of Applied Sciences, Münster.
