LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

We can look back on a solid first half of 2014 in which we generated substantial sales growth while at the same time significantly raising our EBIT margin.

We boosted our sales for the first six months by 14.9 % to 1 69.1 million. The adjusted EBIT margin rose to 16.3 %, up from 13.7 % in the equivalent period in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share increased by 46.4 % to 10.82.

Even though we view this development as a normalization in our margin performance and although we expect the company to post healthy developments in the second half of the year, we are not yet in a position to announce the end of the temporary weakness seen in capacity utilization levels in terms of customer test volumes. Given stocking and order processes, we are still witnessing fluctuations within quarters. Extreme fluctuations, such as those at the end of 2012, have not reoccurred since and the strong second quarter gives us reason to expect a further normalization in the service parts business. Based on information currently available, we expect to see positive developments in terms of our sales and earnings performance in the second half of the year as well.

Although there was little to report in terms of significant newsflow during the quarter, the company's operating performance was nevertheless consistently positive. Major development projects are running on schedule and further market launches by our customers are pending. These will gradually contribute to our expected sales growth in the coming quarters. Furthermore, an increase in the dividend to a new record level was approved at the Annual General Meeting.

In 2015 we will be further expanding our existing development and production capacities, most recently extended in 2010. Planning work for these measures has begun and we will keep you informed. Specifically, we are currently planning the construction of a proprietary development building in Romania. Driven not least by the successful conclusion of further development orders currently in negotiation and our planned capacity expansion measures, we intend to uphold our growth both throughout and beyond the forecast period.

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

REPORT ON THE EARNINGS, FINANCIAL AND NET ASSET POSITION

Sales grew by 14.9 % to 169.1 million in the first six months of the 2014 financial year (previous year: 160.1 million). The gross profit (gross profit on sales) increased to 122.6 million (32.7 % of sales), up 13.1 million on the previous year's figure of 119.5 million (32.5 % of sales). This was due to significant growth in the volume of established analyzer systems and the ongoing slightly positive development in turnover with service parts.

Gross development expenses rose by 1 0.7 million to 1 10.6 million, of which 17.7 million were capitalized. Sales-related expenses could be further significantly reduced from 14.3 million to 13.0 million. Administration expenses increased by 11.1 million to 15.8 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.

Due to a higher volume of earnings-neutral development sales, depreciation and amortization rose from 12.9 million to 13.6 million. At 110.3 million, EBIT improved by 24.4 % 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. 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 14.9 % (adjusted: 16.3 %; previous year: 13.7 %). As in the previous year, net financial expenses were marginally negative. The tax result amounted to 11.3 million. STRATEC can therefore report a 36.4 % increase in consolidated net income to 1 8.9 million for the period under report (previous year: 16.5 million). Earnings per share amounted to 10.76 (previous year: 10.56).

Despite ongoing strong demand for analyzer systems and a full development pipeline, inventories only rose slightly from 118.1 million to 118.9 million. Due to the significant reduction in trade receivables, total receivables could be reduced by 10.6 million.

The equity ratio amounted to 80.1 %. The Group has reduced its noncurrent financial liabilities by 1 1.0 million to 15.6 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 113.5 million in the previous year to 117.1 million. At 13.9 million, investments fell short of the previous year's figure. Despite the dividend payment, cash and cash equivalents thus increased from 120.7 million to 127.1 million.

CHANGES IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR STRATEC

The Ukraine crisis has overshadowed the growth forecast issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the global economy. In its global economic outlook issued in April, the IMF forecast robust growth in economic output, but warned at the same time of "new geopolitical risks" due to the conflict between Kiev and Moscow. The IMF saw the industrialized economies, above all the USA, as anchors of global growth. The economies of core euro area states were also recovering. The upturn in crisishit countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Greece nevertheless remained fragile. According to the IMF, emerging economies still accounted for more than two thirds of global economic growth, but recent developments here had tended to be disappointing. The Chinese economy had cooled slightly compared with 2013. The IMF nevertheless expected the world's secondlargest economy to post strong growth of 7.5 % this year.

Global economic growth had strengthened in the second half of 2013 and was set to improve further in 2014 and 2015. Following growth of 3 % in the past year, the IMF had forecast an increase of 3.6 % in global economic output in 2014. This should be followed by global economic growth of 3.9 % in 2015.

Having said this, the monetary fund has cut back its growth expectations for the global economy by 0.1 percentage points compared with its previous outlook in January. Alongside flagging developments in emerging economies, IMF experts have also factored the potential implications of the Ukraine crisis into their current global economic outlook. Given the threat of western sanctions, they have cut this year's growth forecast for the Russian economy from 1.9 % to 1.3 %. Any further escalation "could have substantially negative effects for the region through both financial and trading channels".

The company has not yet witnessed any implications from current events in connection with the Ukraine crisis and sanctions against Russia. Our partners, who generally market our systems with their own reagents, have currently reported only a very low level of impact.

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.

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 key role in 2014. One example here is planned construction work at the Romanian location where, depending on the relevant permits being issued, construction work should begin before the end of the current financial year.

For 2014, STRATEC continues to expect substantial sales growth compared with the 2013 financial year accompanied by a slight increase in the EBIT margin. The medium-term financial forecast for the years through to 2017 provides for average annual sales growth of 8 % to 12 % based on the volume of sales generated in the 2013 financial year.

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.
