Notes on the quarterly results: In the first six months of the 2006
financial year, LPKF Laser & Electronics AG boosted turnover by
15.8% to E 18.3 million. The operative profit grew by 12.7% to E 3.1
million.

The Laser Systems segment reported a rise in turnover of 29.7%
to E 11.2 million. Significant growth was posted by the Laser
Plastic-Welding segment and the 3D MID segment. Laser
Plastic-Welding broke into the international market and pushed
turnover up 90% to E 1.7 million. A significant step forward has
been made with systems for the production of 3D electronic
carriers. The systems are now being used by clients for the mass
production of mobile phone antennae. Turnover rose to E 1.8
million.

The slight decline in turnover in the StencilLaser segment is
attributed by the Group to the preannounced change in models
scheduled for this autumn. Turnover dropped in the Inspection
Systems segment. Bad debt allowances totalling TE 121 were
reported in the accounts. The turnover in PCB Processing Systems
was boosted by 41%. Rapid PCB Prototyping also reported good
business with a rise in turnover of 11.6%.

Outlook 2006

The level of orders received is slightly up year-on-year. The
decline in the StencilLasers segment and Inspection Systems is
compensated by the strong demand for Laser Plastic-Welding systems
and 3D MID systems. The Group expects the growth of the
StencilLaser segment to be boosted by the launch of a new system
generation in the ongoing quarter for which numerous orders have
already been received.

The management expects to achieve its overall annual target, and
sticks to its published medium term forecasts for turnover.
Turnover in the ongoing financial year is forecast to reach E 41
million, and grow 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).
