6-month report

29.08.2012

St. Marien / August 29, 2012 - HTI High Tech Industries AG, currently
listed at the prime market of the Vienna Stock Exchange ('HTI') for
the second quarter 2012 reports on a substantially better business
development than for the first quarter 2012. Hence, revenues
increased by 10.1% to EUR 51.3 million during the second quarter 2012
(after EUR 46.6 million for the first three months 2012). Also the
operative earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) increased in quarter comparison 2012 from EUR
0.1 million to EUR 2.2 million; the EBIT improved from EUR -2.7
million of the first quarter 2012 to EUR -0.6 million during the
second quarter 2012.

Due to a weakening economy in the course of the first half-year 2012
HTI was faced with a slowdown of business in comparison to the
first half-year 2011. Compared to last year, HTI's revenues
decreased during the first half year 2012 by 7.6% from EUR 105.2
million of the first half-year 2011 to EUR 97.8 million. The
operative earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) were EUR 2.4 million (after EUR 9.2 million of
the first half-year 2011). The operative earnings before interest
and tax (EBIT) decreased in half- year comparison from EUR 4.1
million to EUR -3.2 million.

Considering the current market environment and based on the
pending order situation HTI expects revenues at least on last
year's level and positive operative earnings for the whole year
2012. On strategic level the HTI Group focuses on the Group's
further development towards becoming a diversified, integrated
technological Group. "Considering the current global development,
the diversification of risks and the identification of
synergies gain increasing importance. Therefore diversification and
integration are powerful tools for boosting our earning power and
our company value effectively and on a long-term basis", comments HTI
CEO Peter Glatzmeier on the strategic outlook. Beyond that, HTI
also strives for even better market penetration via strategic
partnerships and cooperation partners.

As of September 2012 HTI will be listed at the mid market auction
segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The Mid Market Auction is the
proper market segment for the company in order to harmonize
listing, trading and administrative efforts towards achieving an
appropriate cost-benefit ratio and to comply to the rightful
demands of the shareholders in regards to transparency.
