Notes on the quarterly results:

The LPKF Group boosted turnover in the first three months by 17%
to 8.141 million E to post the best first quarter turnover ever in
the company's 30-year history.

The growth is primarily attributable to a strong increase in the
laser segment which rose by 41.1%. In particular, business with
3D-MID laser systems was very satisfactory and generated a real
contribution to earnings for the first time of 1,205 TE.

The successful trend in the Laser Plastic-Welding segment the
previous year has continued, putting it ahead of target with a
turnover of 842 TE. This division is also showing a clear move away
from production services to the sale of systems.

While turnover in the Inspection/Special Systems segment was down
year-on-year in the first three months, there was a clear increase in
sales in the Rapid PCB Prototyping segment. Turnover here grew by
11% to 2,621 TE.

* Profits at 700 TE are down by around 240 TE on the same period
the previous year. However, direct comparison between the first
quarters in 2006 and 2005 are limited by two factors: the profit
in Q1 2005 was raised by extraordinary income from the sale of
stencil laser production in North America; and provisions for
bonuses were set aside in the first quarter 2006. Adjusted for
these special effects, profit in Q1 2006 actually rose by 166 TE.

Outlook 2006

Orders in hand and the current level of orders received indicate
that the company will continue to develop positively in the ongoing
financial year, and will benefit from the trends in the
global electronics market towards miniaturisation, shorter
product cycles and higher productivity.

The positive development in the Laser Plastic-Welding and 3D-MID
segments is particularly satisfactory because the high level
of investment in these segments in the past is now generating the
expected rewards.

The management expects additional positive impulses to come during
the course of the financial year from the market launch of new and
higher quality products in coming months. The turnover target in the
ongoing financial year is E 41 million, to rise to E 50 million
by the end of 2007.

LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted in the Prime
Standard of the Frankfurt stock exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
