Notes on the third quarter results:

After the first nine months, LPKF Laser & Electronics AG boasts a strong growth
in turnover of 46.5% and an even better rise in profits. This enabled the
company to post the highest turnover in its almost 30 year history. The good
development is attributable to the continuing sales successes in Asia. The
engines of growth in the third quarter continue to be laser systems which show
an impressive year-on-year growth of 51.2%. Turnover is developing positively in
the Rapid PCB Prototyping segment, which also continues to have room for further
growth generated by new products. The turnover of inspection systems (segment
special systems) had the highest growth rate. Among other things these systems
have opened up a new market for 3D-inspection systems for the chip-packaging
industry with considerable growth potential for LPKF. 

Outlook 2005:

The results in the first nine months and the much higher level of orders in hand
compared to the same period last year clearly highlight the sustainability of
LPKF’s growth. The Board of Managing Directors has therefore raised its turnover
forecast for the ongoing financial year by 10% to EUR 33 million, and confirms
the planning figures issued last year of EUR 50 million for 2007. The Board of
Managing Directors forecasts a turnover of EUR 41 million in 2006. 
The corporate strategy continues to be focussed on cutting and drilling lasers,
and the inspection systems. Establishment of a subsidiary in Hong Kong, LPKF
Laser & Electronics (ASIA), has now been successfully completed and will start
operations at the beginning of 2006. 

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