Philip Nijenhuis, RoodMicrotec CEO:
'In spite of the fact that RoodMicrotec's results are analogous to the
developments in the global semiconductor market in the first half of the year,
we are far from satisfied. In order to offset and exceed the decreasing share of
the IDM market in our sales, we will focus even more strongly on our growth
markets, such as OEM and the Fabless market. Furthermore, we will put more
emphasis on Supply Chain Management, including services in the area of product
engineering and design for testability (DFT).'

Report of the board of management
1. GENERAL
The falling sales were mainly due to four factors. Firstly, to the general slump
of the semiconductor industry in the first half of 2012 compared to the first
half of 2011. Secondly, to customers reducing their stocks, which significantly
impacted Supply Chain Management. Thirdly, to the diminished role of IDMs
(Integrated Device Manufacturers) for RoodMicrotec. This could not yet be set
off in the first half of 2012 by increased sales to OEMs and Fabless Companies.
Due to a structural increase of sales to OEMs and Fabless Companies, we now
service many more customers. This makes us less dependent on some larger IDMs,
resulting to better risk spreading. Finally, various customers postponed
projects due to the economic situation.
1.1. Developments by business unit (product /service group)
Qualification & Reliability Investigation grew by 2.7% compared to the first
half of 2011, while sales of the business units Test, Test Engineering, Supply
Chain Management and Failure & Technology Analysis fell by 39.9%, 30.9%, 53.7%
and 11.9% respectively.
However, in the last two months of the reporting period we are seeing a strong
increase in the number of applications and orders, which suggests that we are
back on the way up.

1.2. Personnel
The number of permanent staff members decreased by approx. 5% to 107 fte
compared to 113 in 30 June 2011
1.3 Risk management
The various risks the company is exposed to are listed in RoodMicrotec's 2011
annual report. We strive to limit the risks, inter alia by periodical and
systematic risk reviews of selected aspects. These reviews are conducted approx.
8 times every year. Corrective measures are taken where necessary. Due to the
negative developments in the financial markets of recent times, the board of
management is devoting extra attention on cash management. Otherwise, the
management does not currently foresee any material changes in the risks in 2012.
2. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL RESULTS
2.1. Sales and result
The sales in the first half of 2012 of ? 5.688 million fell by 34.1% compared to
the first half of 2011 (HY1 2011: ? 8.634 million).
EBITDA was ? 0.189 million (HY1 2011: ? 1.398 million), or 3% of sales. EBIT was
? -0.278 million (HY1 2011: ? 0.771 million), or -5% of sales.
The net result fell to ? -0.422 million (HY1 2011: ? 0.529 million), or -7% of
sales. This is equivalent to ? -0.01 per share.
Net financing costs were ? 0.144 million, 10% down on the first half of 2011.
2.2. Cash flow
In the first half, we realised a cash flow (net result and depreciation) of ?
0.045 million (HY1 2011: ? 1.156 million) and a cash flow from operating
activities of ? -0.039 million (HY1 2011: ? 1.061 million).
3. OUTLOOK 2012
After strong growth in the semiconductor market in the first half of 2011, a
slump set in the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, which has
affected RoodMicrotec. Due to the weak economic situation in the recent period
there are clear signs of that there will be a recovery in the second half of
2012 and further growth in 2013.
Based on this outlook, order intake, increased stocks in our warehouse and
agreements with our customers we expect a significant sales increase in the
second half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2012. We also expect that this
increase will bring about an improvement of the net result.
