2 2014 figure adjusted to exclude a one-off negative item resulting from recognition in the first quarter of expenses for the remaining years of the term of a management board contract for a retired member of the Board of Management and a positive non-operating item due to recognition of income for a development project discontinued in 2013. Unadjusted EBIT amounts to 1 17.0 million, the corresponding EBIT margin amounts to 16.2%, consolidated net income to 1 14.2 million and earnings per share to 1 1.20.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

The company's pleasing performance in the first six months of 2014 continued in the third quarter.

Nine-month sales grew 15.9% to 1 105.3 million. The adjusted EBIT margin rose to 16.8%, up from 14.1% in the equivalent period in the previous year. Adjusted earnings per share increased 42.5% to 1 1.24.

The measures taken in recent years are now bearing fruit in many areas, for example in the form of an improved gross margin on recently launched systems. Current development projects have also contributed to a wellstocked development pipeline. Furthermore, some of our customers are reporting a slight rise in sales once again due to higher test volumes at laboratories.

Sales with service parts and consumables have continued to develop positively. Even after adjustment for one customer's initial stocking, the trend towards recovery seen over the past quarters remains intact.

All these factors are reflected in the high growth rates we are currently able to report. Irrespective of this, we are taking the company's current development as an opportunity to implement targeted measures aimed at maintaining solid growth.

We expect construction work on a development complex in Romania to start at the beginning of next year. What's more, we will be further expanding our production capacities in Switzerland in 2015. These actions are intended to further facilitate our planned growth in terms of our operational footprint.

We expect the pleasing performance witnessed to date to continue in the final quarter of the current year, with a further increase in development work and a positive sales and earnings performance.

Birkenfeld, October 2014

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

REPORT ON THE EARNINGS, FINANCIAL AND NET ASSET POSITION

Sales grew by 15.9% to 1 105.3 million in the nine six months of the 2014 financial year (previous year: 1 90.8 million). The gross profit (gross profit on sales) increased to 1 22.6 million (32.2% of sales), up 1 6.6 million on the previous year's figure of 1 35.8 million (34.0% of sales). This was due to significant growth in the volume of established and newer analyzer systems, as well as the ongoing positive development in turnover with service parts.

Gross development expenses rose by 1 2.3 million to 1 17.0 million, of which 1 11.4 million were capitalized. Sales-related expenses could be further significantly reduced from 1 6.0 million to 1 4.2 million. Administration expenses increased by 1 1.5 million to 1 8.2 million. This was chiefly due to the recognition of expenses for the remaining years covered by the residual term of the management board contract for a retired member of the Board of Management.

At 1 17.0 million, EBIT improved by 32.7% and significantly exceeded the previous year's figure, and that despite the one-off charge due to the expenses incurred for changes in the Board of Management. The figures include a small positive financial effect, one set also to continue over the remaining quarters of the current financial year, resulting from the termination of a development and supply agreement announced in July 2013. This factor will also impact on the final quarter of the current financial year. Based on current planning, this monetary item will increase the EBIT margin for the 2014 financial year as a whole by around 30 basis points. The EBIT margin thus amounted to 16.2% (adjusted: 16.8%; previous year: 14.1%). As in the previous year, net financial expenses were marginally negative. The tax result amounted to 1 2.8 million. STRATEC can therefore report a 39.1% increase in consolidated net income to 1 14.2 million for the period under report (previous year: 1 10.2 million). Earnings per share amounted to 1 1.20 (previous year: 1 0.87).

Despite ongoing strong demand for analyzer systems and a full development pipeline, inventories only rose slightly from 1 18.1 million to 1 20.1 million. Due to the significant reduction in trade receivables, total receivables could be reduced by 1 4.0 million.

The equity ratio amounted to 81.5%. The Group has reduced its noncurrent financial liabilities by 1 1.2 million to 1 5.4 million. The increase in trade payables was driven by higher procurement volumes for raw materials and supplies. Other current liabilities also include the liability for the remaining years covered by the residual term of the management board contract for a retired member of the Board of Management.

The cash flow from operating activities rose significantly from 1 20.0 million in the previous year to 1 25.7 million. This figure also includes writedowns of 1 0.8 million for impairments of proprietary development projects. At 1 5.7 million, investments fell short of the previous year's figure. Despite the dividend payment in June, cash and cash equivalents thus increased from 1 20.7 million to 1 34.6 million.

CHANGES IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR STRATEC

In its forecast published in October 2014, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted ongoing global economic growth, but nevertheless warned of the risk of a new global economic crisis due to growing risks to the global economy.

Compared with its previous forecast in April, the IMF cut its global economic growth forecast for 2014 by 0.4 percentage points to 3.3%. It also corrected its outlook for 2015 downwards and now expects growth of 3.8%.

According to the IMF, the pace of growth seen in recent years has been disappointing. In major economies in particular, not enough has been invested and not enough has been done to stimulate demand, and that despite low interest rates. Not only that, numerous countries urgently need to introduce structural reforms. The downstream implications of the severe recession around six years ago are more intractable than previously thought.

One key concern is that the recovery in the euro area is stagnating. Geopolitical crises, such as those in the Ukraine or the Middle East, could also result in economic damage far beyond the areas affected, for example due to rising energy prices. The IMF continues to see major problems for the Russian economy, not least due to the sanctions imposed in the Ukraine crisis. Brazil, previously a key growth driver, also faces weaker economic developments than most recently expected. The IMF sees fewer difficulties for China, whose growth is expected to remain above seven percent in the next two years. India has also regained momentum following a period of weakness.

Irrespective of the aforementioned developments, global demographic developments represent one of the most serious challenges facing the world. The dynamic growth in the world's population, together with an unprecedented increase in the elderly share of the population and the sharp rise in the number of people with access to medical care, represent key factors which will shape the 21st century. This situation is accompanied by scientific and technological progress, which is opening up ever new possibilities in the fields of medicine, research, diagnostics and life science.

These developments will lead not only to an increase in the numbers of clinical diagnostics tests to be performed, but will also result in new, unique business opportunities for which STRATEC is optimally positioned with its automation solutions and on which it will continue to focus its strategy and operations.

In view of the factors outlined above, global economic risks only have a very limited impact on STRATEC's business performance and business model. Moreover, long-term supply agreements with our customers minimize the potential implications for STRATEC.

Our partners, who generally market our systems together with their own reagents, have currently reported only a very low level of impact related to events in connection with the Ukraine crisis and sanctions on Russia. To date, the only implications are a slight reduction in analyzer system call-up volumes at one partner.

REPORT ON FORECASTS AND OTHER STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE COMPANY'S EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT

In the current year, STRATEC is focusing on achieving further major development milestones, additional market launches, and finalizing negotiations for new development and production contracts.

Furthermore, the expansion in the company's production and development capacities is set to play a major role in the coming quarters. One example here is the planned construction of a proprietary development complex at STRATEC's location in Romania, where construction work is expected to start at the beginning of 2015. The company also plans to extend production areas at its Beringen location in Switzerland. This measure, also scheduled for 2015, will boost the STRATEC Group's production capacity by around 20%.

Based on budgets that account for acceptance volume forecasts from our customers and market launches expected in the coming years, STRATEC continues to expect average annual sales growth of 8% to 12% for the years through to 2017 (based on the volume of sales generated in the 2013 financial year). Growth rates are expected to fluctuate between individual years. For 2014, STRATEC continues to expect substantial sales growth compared with the 2013 financial year; accompanied by a significant rise in its EBIT margin.

Due to the immense debt accumulated by some countries and economic regions and the resultant potential implications (debt crisis), the level of budgeting reliability remains low for all industries, and for the global economy as a whole. This situation continues to harbor risks for STRATEC's customers and suppliers, as a result of which STRATEC also faces economic risks. The ongoing difficult economic climate also means that STRATEC continues to face increased market risk.

Apart from this, since the assessment of the company's situation provided on April 15, 2014 upon the compilation of the Annual Report for the 2013 financial year, no new information has arisen which could lead to any change in our assessment of the company's expected development.

OPPORTUNITY AND RISK REPORT

We analyze and evaluate the risks facing the company and its business environment within the framework of our risk management system, which has been established as an early warning risk identification system. Furthermore, this system also includes a compliance system to ensure compliance with the relevant legal and industry-specific requirements.

STRATEC's business activities basically focus on sustainability and responsible behavior. In future, the company will document this in a sustainability report.

Apart from the factors outlined in the "Report on forecasts and other statements concerning the company's expected development", we do not see any changes compared with the risks and opportunities identified in the Group Management Report for the 2013 financial year dated April 15, 2014. Details of our risk management system and our company's specific opportunity and risk profile can be found in the "Opportunity and Risk Report" section of our 2013 Group Management Report. Information about our use of financial instruments can be found in Section F of the 2013 Group Management Report.

NOTES TO THE GROUP INTERIM REPORT

for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2014 of STRATEC Biomedical AG

Summary of principal accounting and valuation methods

The consolidated financial statements of STRATEC Biomedical AG as of December 31, 2013 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU valid at the balance sheet date. In the interim report as of September 30, 2014, which has been prepared on the basis of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", application has been made of the same accounting methods as in the consolidated financial statements for the 2013 financial year.

Application has also been made of all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) with binding effect as of September 30, 2014.

There were no indications of any potential impairment in goodwill at the balance sheet date. Impairments of 1 0.8 million were recognized for proprietary development projects in the third quarter. Furthermore, the management is currently reviewing possible future uses for the non-current assets associated with structural optimization measures at the US location in Newbury Park.

The company's interim reports are neither audited, nor subject to an audit review, by the group auditor, WirtschaftsTreuhand GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Stuttgart.

Reference is made to the consolidated financial statements of STRATEC Biomedical AG as of December 31, 2013 with regard to further information concerning the individual accounting and valuation methods applied.

The Group's currency is the euro. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts have been stated in thousand euros (1 thousand).

Adjustment to previous year's figures pursuant to IAS 8

At the end of the 2013 financial year, the accounting methods used to recognize projects were voluntarily adjusted in order to implement recommendations made by the German Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (DPR). Moreover, the presentation of shareholders' equity and of the statement of changes in equity were also voluntarily amended and errors were corrected. Further details and a presentation of the overall implications can be found on Pages 48 to 53 of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013. To ensure comparability, the figures reported for January 1, 2013 and for the period from January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 have been adjusted accordingly.
