6-month report

27.08.2007

Ad hoc release according to § 15 WpHG

Aachen - 27 August 2007. Parsytec AG - the world's leading supplier
of surface and web inspection systems for strip products - has
further expanded its market leadership in surface inspection systems
for the steel industry with a share of more than 60 % of all systems
ordered in the first half of 2007. After the moderate development in
the second half of 2006, this market recovered slightly in the first
half of 2007. Demand in the paper industry remained stable overall
with relatively low unit figures.

Revenue and earnings down as against the previous year

In the first half of 2007, Parsytec generated revenue of EUR 11.1
million, down 15 % on the previous year. At EUR 9.9 million, 89 %
of this related to the Inspection segment and EUR 1.2 million or
11 % related to the pdi segment. In addition to orders being
postponed, the decline in revenue was primarily due to the weak
order entry figure of EUR 9.4 million for the second half of 2006.
At 56 %, the gross margin in the first half of 2007 was unchanged as
against the same period of the previous year. EBIT declined from EUR
1.3 million in 2006 to EUR 0.3 million (down 74 %). EAT
amounted to EUR 0.3 million after EUR 1.0 million in the
previous year (down 73 %).

Outlook: moderate revenue growth with an EAT margin of 5 % forecast

Due to the weak revenue and order entry development in the first half
of 2007, contrary to the original planning of revenue growth just in
the double digits, the Company is now expecting a more moderate
revenue growth. This is primarily due to the postponement of orders
in the first half of the year. The Executive Board is forecasting
rising order entry figures for the second half of the year,
though this will only partially contribute to revenue for financial
year 2007 on account of the duration of projects. A declining gross
margin is still expected for the second half of the year. The
achievement of a net return on revenue of approximately 5 % is
still regarded as possible.
