FOREWORD BY THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

In the past, various experts reported that our industry was undergoing a period in which the world's leading diagnostics companies had begun to outsource the development and production of their most important automation solutions to external partners. We can confirm this – it more or less represents a paradigm shift in the industry. Not least to account for this, STRATEC has laid foundations to benefit disproportionately from this trend and has accordingly stepped up its development work on new projects and feasibility studies. It goes without saying that these measures are not without implications for the development in our margin. With the course we have taken, we believe that we have found a balance that does justice both to our shareholders' interests and to those of our customers, and which will in particular promote the company's sustainably positive performance in the long term.

Our performance in the first half of 2012 was on target and was chiefly affected by the aforementioned expansion in our development activities. Serial production for the systems most recently launched onto the market by our customers was further ramped up and is set to be further optimized in the coming months. The market launches of two additional systems are scheduled to take place in the near future. Here too, we are currently in the ramp-up stage, during which we prepare the systems for serial production. Adjusted for a one-off item resulting from the reclassification of prepayments received and work in progress in connection with the impairment of a development project in the first quarter, our sales for the first six months of 2012 grew year-on-year by 13.3 % to 1 55.0 million. Thereby we generated an EBIT margin of 17.1% and consolidated net income of 1 7.4 million, corresponding to earnings per share of 1 0.63 for the first half of 2012.

We expect to see further positive momentum in the coming quarters both in terms of new market launches by our customers, and of our ability to publish new development cooperations.

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

REPORT ON THE EARNINGS, FINANCIAL AND NET ASSET POSITION

Sales for the first six months of the 2012 financial year grew by 20.0 % to 1 58.2 million (previous year: 1 48.5 million). Despite the reclassification within equity of a milestone payment, the overall performance rose by 11.8 % to 1 60.9 million (previous year: 1 54.8 million). The cost of materials also increased over the same period by 11.8% from 1 25.7 million to 1 28.8 million.

The stepping up in development activities, accompanied by a further expansion in production capacities, led personnel expenses to rise from 1 14.1 million to 1 16.6 million.

At 1 4.7 million, other operating expenses remained unchanged on the previous year. Depreciation and amortization increased to 1 2.0 million, while net financial expenses deteriorated to 1 -0.1 million. STRATEC thus generated consolidated net income of 1 7.4 million in the period under report (previous year: 1 7.0 million), corresponding to earnings per share of 1 0.63 (previous year: 1 0.60).

Due to the forthcoming market launches of two systems and the increase in development services, inventories rose by 1 4.0 million. Total receivables and other assets increased from 1 23.1 million to 1 25.3 million. As a result of the dividend payment, cash and cash equivalents fell from 1 19.5 million to 1 17.7 million despite the positive cash flow of 1 5.6 million from operating activities.

The equity ratio amounts to 73.0%. Non-current financial liabilities could be reduced to 1 8.7 million. The increase in trade payables was driven by higher procurement volumes for raw materials and supplies. Within other current liabilities, an amount of around 1 8.2 million has been reported for prepayments received for development services.

The inflow of funds from operating activities amounted to 1 5.6 million, thus more than doubling compared with the previous year. The STRATEC Group invested 1 1.1 million in the first six months of the 2012 financial year (previous year: 1 1.5 million; previous year's figure includes construction activities of 1 0.5 million).

CHANGES IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR STRATEC

In its latest forecast, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reduced its growth forecast for the global economy for the current year and for next year. The global economy risks losing further momentum given new tensions on the financial markets and the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area. A slowing in global growth trends had already been observed in the previous three months.

For the global economy, the IMF has now forecast growth of 3.5% in the current year, and 3.9% next year. Compared with the April forecast, these figures represent reductions of around 0.1% for 2012 and around 0.2% for 2013. The IMF has left its economic growth forecast for the euro area for the current year unchanged at minus 0.3%, but reduced its forecast for next year by 0.2 percentage points to growth of 0.7%. The IMF is also concerned about the USA, where the latest data indicate a slowdown in the factors driving growth. Similar concerns apply to countries such as Brazil, China, and India. Overall, however, emerging economies had so far weathered the crisis in impressive shape.

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 of the crisis for STRATEC.

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

As previously announced, in May 2012 we published our company forecast extended by one year for the 2012 to 2014 financial years. This takes due account of the latest developments in the in-vitro diagnostics industry, additional customer information, and updated internal assessments.

STRATEC expects to generate sales of between 1 125 million and 1 139 million in 2012. Furthermore, annual average sales growth (CAGR) for the years 2012 to 2014 is expected to amount to between 14% and 16% based on 2011 sales figures (1 116.6 million). The exceeding of the 1 160 million sales mark expected for 2013 is based on current production figures and is linked to the market launches planned to have been implemented by then. We expect to generate an EBIT margin of between 17% and 19% in both 2012 and 2013.

Medium-term forecasting is influenced by ongoing consolidation in the diagnostics industry, planned market launches, approval dates, which can only be planned to a limited extent, and analyzer system generation changes. Due to scaling effects and given that the relative margin contribution from the maintenance and spare parts business is spread over several financial years, the earnings corridor has currently been defined very broadly (interaction between sales growth, % margin contribution of maintenance and spare parts business, and the resultant gross margin). STRATEC is currently still increasing its development expenditure to account for further projects newly acquired or in the contract signing stage. Our customer forecasts and additional forthcoming market launches give us reason to expect that our sales performance will show further slightly positive developments in the second half of the year.

Due to the immense debt accumulated by some countries and economic regions and the resultant potential implications (debt crisis), the level of budgeting liability 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 March 12, 2012 upon the compilation of the Annual Report for the 2011 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 2011 financial year dated March 12, 2012. Reference is made to the "Risk Report" section within the 2011 Group Management Report for details concerning our risk management system and our company's specific opportunity and risk profile.
