Cuxhaven, 27. 09. 2004 - Plambeck Neue Energien AG has completed the re-assessment of its wind-park projects in Germany, which it initiated as a result of the amendment of the Priority of Renewable Energies Act (EEG) and a change in the market situation. The consequence is considerable valuation adjustments and depreciations per June 30, 2004, as a result of lower project margins and project devaluations. In addition, depreciations on goodwill were necessary.
In addition and also as a result of the discussions on the amendment of the Act, there were delays in the project implementation in the first half of the year with negative effects on turnover and results.
Valuation adjustments on trade receivables and on claims from long-term order completion add up to 109.9 mill. Euro. Depreciations of goodwill amount to 52.8 mill. Euro. These measures are not effective on payment. But they led to a group result of -141.5 mill. Euro (previous year: 3,0 mill. Euro) in the first half of 2004 and a result per share of - 5.11 Euro (previous year: 0.22 Euro). The sales revenues dropped to 12.5 mill. Euro (previous year: 29.7 mill. Euro). The overall sales rose to 46.4 mill. Euro (previous year: 28.6 mill. Euro) as a result of the dissolution of reserves from long-term order completion. Equity dropped to 42.4 mill. Euro as per June 30, 2004.
