Notes on the 2006 performance: 
In the 2006 financial year, the LPKF Group generated record sales of EUR 39.8
million, and the best profit figures in the company’s 30-year history with
nearly EUR 4.0 million. The company boosted its sales by 14.1% and drove up its
net result by 31.5% year-on-year.

The growth in the 2006 financial year was again mainly driven by LaserSystems.
Thanks to the dynamic development of the 3D-MID, PCB Processing and Laser
Plastic-welding segments, LaserSystem sales rose by 29.9%. The Rapid PCB
Prototyping segment boasted growth of 20.8%. The development in sales of
Inspection Systems was weak by comparison, earnings fell from EUR 4.4 million to
EUR 2.2 million.

The exceedingly strong fourth quarter in 2006 featured a rise in sales of 27.4 %
year-on-year to EUR 12.4 million, with a rise in earnings from LaserSystem sales
of 60.2% to EUR 7.1 million. The EBIT yield rose to 17.3% in the last quarter of
2006. 

Outlook
The Board of Managing Directors and the Supervisory Board shall propose a
resolution at the annual general meeting on 24 May to pay a dividend of 12 Cent
per share (up from 10 Cent per share the previous year). 

The LPKF Group forecasts another moderate rise in sales to EUR 45 million during
the ongoing financial year. The additional earnings, particularly from the new
Solar Technology segment will not have a major impact on sales until the 2008
financial year. The Board of Managing Directors sees good opportunities here for
very positive business, and therefore intends to establish a new solar-laser
company together with its partner LPKF Motion & Control, Thueringen/Germany.
Significant investments will be made here in 2007 in development work and
setting up extra production capacity. Production service centres are also to be
set up in the USA and Asia to support distribution activities in 3D-MID and
Laser Plastic-Welding. The aim is to open up more markets and to
internationalise the new technologies. 

LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted in the Prime Standard of the
Frankfurt stock exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
