Company performance

With a turnover of EUR 12.0 million (previous year: EUR 9.6 million) and an
EBIT of EUR 1.4 million (previous year: EUR 1.1 million) the third quarter was
the strongest three months so far for LPKF Laser & Electronics AG in the 2008
financial year. In the first nine months of the 2008 financial year, LPKF
boosted turnover by 14 % to EUR 31.6 million, and generated a clear profit of
EUR 0.9 million.

Business was buoyant in the Plastic Welding segment (+ 61 %), Rapid Prototyping
(+ 11 %) and Solar (+ 92 %). Performance in the Stencil, MID and PCB Processing
segments was below target. However, orders received for the MID and PCB
Processing segments after the end of the reporting period point to an upswing
in business in these divisions.

Outlook for 2008 upheld

Despite the weaker level of orders received in the third quarter, LPKF upholds
its turnover and earnings forecasts for the whole of 2008. The current turmoil
in the financial markets and the associated uncertainties for the economy make
it difficult at the present moment to venture an outlook for LPKF Laser &
Electronics AG for the 2009 financial year. The company intends to issue a
forecast for turnover and earnings for the 2009 financial year together with
the publication of the Annual Report 2008.

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