Notes on the half year results:

In the first 6 months of the 2005 financial year, LPKF achieved an increase in
turnover by 41.5%, thereby exceeding its own targets for growth for the second
quarter. The rise in costs was disproportionately low compared to growth in
turnover, enabling the EBIT margin to rise considerably from 2.0% to 17.5%. The
booming business in Asia with Cutting and Drilling Laser Systems is again the
platform for the successful development in LPKF's business. The successful
marketing of high end StencilLaser systems is particularly interesting. In
addition, growth was also boosted by the inspection systems developed by the
subsidiary LPKF Motion & Control GmbH. The previously loss-making Laser Plastic
Welding segment generated a profit for the first time, and met its targets
earlier than planned. The investment in this business sector is now beginning to
pay off. The performance of the Rapid PCB Prototyping segment was slowed down in
the first months of the financial year by a delay in delivery of a new Protomat
model, but is now catching up on the shortfall with a rising sales. 

Outlook 2005:
A continuation of the strong growth is indicated by the excellent performance of
the group in the first half of 2005, the substantial number of orders in hand
and the renewed increase in orders received by LPKF AG. The Board of Managing
Directors is optimistic to reach the targeted turnover of EUR 30 million by the
end of the year and expects the EBIT margin to be around 14 %.
