For the current financial year, we expect a double-digit growth in revenues and

distinctly positive earnings outperforming last year's results. In
that, we are benefiting from the economic upturn in Europe and the
USA, our most important markets, as well as from further integration
of our affiliate company Conrac. We will continue to globalize Data
Modul, consolidate markets and add interesting technologies to our
portfolio. We will focus on the development of bespoke systems and
solutions for our customers. Thereby we will build our future on
organic growth.
