Saarbrücken, November 28, 2008 - ItN Nanovation AG (ISIN DE000A0JL461) generated sales amounting to EUR 3.9 million in the first nine months of 2008. This represents an increase of 4.3 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.

EBIT of EUR -8.7 million was reported in the first nine months of 2008 after amounting to EUR -4.6 million in the previous year. This includes negative one-time effects amounting to approximately EUR 2.6 million, mainly attributable to the realignment of the company and the change in management.

The company´s liquid assets totaled EUR 1.6 million as of the 2008 reporting date and have continued to fall since then. The Management Board has introduced the necessary measures to ensure an improvement in cash and cash equivalents, making this a top priority. To achieve this, operating segments, which have been identified by management as non-core, may be disposed of to strategic partners. The out-licensing of industrial property rights is also an option. In addition, the company´s major shareholders have indicated that they want to continue providing the company with the support it needs for its further development in the future.
