    Veldhoven, The Netherlands, March 31, 2005

    Teleplan International N.V. today released preliminary figures for the

    financial year ending December 31, 2004.

    Group revenue amounted to EUR 270.5m compared to EUR 292.7m in FY 2003.
    Reasons for the decline were a negative impact of EUR 15.8 m of the US $/EUR
    exchange rate, the discontinuation of non-performing business activities as
    well as the sale of the business activities in France. The remaining business
    activities performed on last year´s level. Teleplan has successfully managed
    to retain its core customer base.

    The FY 2004 net result was minus EUR 72m. The operational business came in
    with a negative EBITDA of EUR 6.9 m and a net loss of EUR 25.7 m. A
    significant contribution to the negative result of EUR 72m came from
    restructuring costs in the amount of EUR 27.4m. Additionally, impairment
    charges were EUR 19.0 m. The loss of the FY 2003 was EUR 42.3m.

    As part of the restructuring program, Teleplan completed a financial
    restructuring comprising, among other measures, the extension of existing bank
    facilities and the issue of new shares and convertible zero bonds in exchange
    for EUR 14m cash and a conversion of debt in the amount of EUR 16m. The total
    number of new common shares issued was 7,380,951, the total number of
    convertible zero bonds issued was 19,666,667. The zero bonds are not publicly
    listed. They carry a nominal value of EUR 1.00 and the right to convert each
    bond at a conversion price for each share of EUR 0.90. Therefore, at any time
    during the conversion period starting from November 1, 2005, the 19,666,667
    bonds can be converted into 21,851,852 new shares.

    Final figures will be released on April 26, 2005 together with the results for
    the first three months of the current financial year.
