As at June 30, 2009, the orderbacklog amounted to EUR 103.9 million (previous year: EUR 202.4million). The earnings forecast for fiscal year 2009 is confirmedwith expected EBIT of EUR 16 - 18 million.The Industrial Systems division generated sales revenues of EUR 23.2million (previous year: EUR 22.9 million), the Semiconductor Systemsdivision achieved EUR 21.5 million (previous year: EUR 24.4 million),and Solar Systems exceeded the prior-year figure (EUR 26.7 million)at EUR 31.8 million.Operating profit (EBIT) was increased significantly year-on-year fromEUR 5.1 million to EUR 9.4 million, resulting in an EBIT margin of12.3%.

We continue to see opportunities toobtain larger contracts in the photovoltaics industry later on in2009.
