Strong expansion of growth segments LPKF Laser & Electronics AG 
boosted its turnover  by  6.1 %  year-on-year  to  E 42.2 million. 
EBIT was on target at E 6.0 million. Intense effort  in  expanding 
the three growth segments -  MID,  Plastic  Welding  and  Solar  -  
generated  a performance slightly below the previous year's level.
Turnover in Rapid Prototyping systems rose by 21.1 %  to  E  15.3  
million,  and again delivered a solid foundation for the  Group's  
performance.  The  Stencil, Inspection Systems and PCB Processing 
segments were strongly affected  by  their high export share outside 
of the Euro zone,  and  competition  with  the  Dollar zone. They 
failed to match the previous year's turnover levels. Activity in  the
Inspection Systems segment was suspended in favour of the solar 
business.
The three growth segments have developed very  promisingly  and  
boasted  double figure growth rates. The Plastic Welding business  
has  been  strongly  expanded and enjoyed a 15 % plus in turnover. 
Framework agreements were also closed  with key accounts. The MID 
segment succeeded  in  almost  doubling  its  turnover  in 2007, and 
made significant progress in internationalising its business.
The still very  new  Solar  segment  developed  particularly  
dynamically.  LPKF became actively involved in supplying laser 
systems for the  scribing  of  thin- film solar panels at the 
beginning of 2007. As  announced,  the  Group  received further 
orders from several customers at the beginning of the ongoing  
financial year.
The Board of Managing  Directors  and  the  Supervisory  Board  will 
propose  a resolution at the Annual General Meeting to pay a dividend
of 12 Cent per  share as in the previous financial year.
Positive outlook for 2008 The company has started the 2008 financial 
year confidently with a 25 % year-on- year increase in orders in 
hand.
The Board of Managing Directors intends to boost turnover and profit 
further  in the  ongoing  year.  This  is  predicated  on  the  
absence   of   any   further repercussions from the  crisis  on  the 
international  financial  markets,  and continuing economic 
stability. Given the excellent order situation, there  is  a good 
chance to raise the turnover share of the MID, Plastic  Welding  and 
Solar segments from currently 25 % to around 50 % in the medium term.
LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted  on  the  Prime  
Standard  of  the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
