3-month report

30.05.2012

St. Marien / May 30, 2012 - HTI High Tech Industries AG ('HTI'),
listed at the prime market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, again
reports on increases in new orders after a generally slower economic
development in the first quarter 2012. Due to the economic
uncertainties that burdened the consumption- and investment behavior
and consequently the order situation of the HTI Group starting with
the fourth quarter 2011, consolidated revenues of the first three
months 2012 decreased from EUR 53.2 million to EUR 46.6 million. The
operative earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 0.1 million after EUR 3.9
million in the first three months 2011. The operative earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to EUR -2.7 million (after EUR 1.5
million in the first quarter 2011). The consolidated result amounted
to EUR -4.3 million after EUR 0.8 million in the first three months
2011. Besides the effects from the lower revenues the higher
depreciation on fixed assets and interest expenses had a negative
impact on the result situation of the first quarter 2012.

'Our utilization only began to recover by end of the first quarter
2012. This trend has been continuing at the beginning of the second
quarter and is a good basis for the coming quarters', explains HTI
CEO Peter Glatzmeier. An important key issue for the current business
year also lies in the intensification of cooperation projects, in
order to achieve an even higher market penetration and to take
advantage of the economies of scales', continues Glatzmeier.

OUTLOOK The current order situation allows the expectations of
revenues at least at last year's level and a balanced result - under
the condition that no unforeseeable impacts of the sovereign debt
crisis occur.

HTI sets its focus further on the reduction of the Group's
indebtedness as well as the strengthening of the internal financing
power that shall enable the Group to fund the further growth on its
own. Against this background processes and structures as well as the
strategic positioning are being analyzed, in order to increase the
company's value effectively and on a long-term basis. The changes in
regard to Technoplast were a conscious and necessary step in this
direction.

In accordance with the resolutions jointly published by the
Management Board and Supervisory Board on May 29, 2012 in preparation
for the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 19, 2012, Mr. Kurt
Helletzgruber has been nominated for election to serve on the
Supervisory Board by the Annual General Meeting. On May 30, 2012, HTI
received a resolution submitted by Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark
AG in accordance with Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act,
which proposes that Mr. Christian Loimayr is to be elected as a
Member of the Supervisory Board. On May 30, 2012, the company was
notified by Mr. Willibald Dörflinger (Deputy Chairman of the
Supervisory Board) and Mr. Hannes Androsch (Member of the Supervisory
Board) of their intention to resign from their positions on the
Supervisory Board within a notice period of four weeks. Thus their
resignations will take effect at the end of June 2012.
