of EUR 8.1 mill. by 64.3 %. Earnings before taxes (EBT) for the group
were EUR 1.7 mill., up EUR 6.6 mill. against the previous year's

12,8%.

Assuming continued market development we increase our guidance for
the fiscal year 2010. We expect group sales to grow to a level
between EUR 43 mill. and EUR 45 mill. (prev. guidance: EUR 39 - 41
mill.; 2009 sales: EUR 33.7 mill.) at an EBT of no less than EUR 3.5
mill. (prev. guidance: > EUR 1.5 mill.; 2009 EBT: EUR -8.0 mill.).
