For the current financial year, we expect a double-digit growth in revenues and

distinctly positive earnings outperforming last year's results. In that, we are
benefiting from the economic upturn in Europe and the USA, our most important
markets, as well as from further integration of our affiliate company Conrac.
We will continue to globalize Data Modul, consolidate markets and add
interesting technologies to our portfolio. We will focus on the development of
bespoke systems and solutions for our customers. Thereby we will build our
future on organic growth.
