Financial Figures/Balance Sheet

Subtitle: Dividend to be increased to 10 cents

Hannover/Germany, 03/03/2011. (euro adhoc) - According to preliminary
figures, the Hoeft & Wessel Group managed to boost its sales revenues
by roughly 2 per cent in fiscal 2010, to reach EUR 95.6 million. The
operating result (EBIT) adjusted for temporary currency effects was
up by 23 per cent, to EUR 3.8 million.

"Thanks to these gratifying figures, the Board of Management and
Supervisory Board will submit a proposal at the Annual General
Meeting to increase the dividend to 10 cents per share," announced
Hansjoachim Oehmen, CEO of Hoeft & Wessel.

With EUR 35.5 million in turnover, the fourth quarter met the high
level of expectations (Q4 2009: EUR 23.1 million). All business
divisions of the IT and engineering Group for ticketing, parking and
mobile solutions registered robust demand in the traditionally strong
final quarter.

The figures for 2010 have not been audited and certified as yet and
are therefore preliminary. The 2010 Annual Report will be released on
29 March 2011.
