FOREWORD BY THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

Alongside the market launch of NEO by Immucor, the first analyzer system to be newly launched in the current year, in the first half of 2010 STRATEC Biomedical Systems AG also managed to lay two important foundations for the company's future development. We concluded a major new development and supply agreement with bioMérieux and prepared the takeover of the US company Ballista Inc., the execution of which was then announced on July 2, 2010.

Given our business performance in the first six months and in view of the three market launches pending by our partners – DiaSorin, Gen-Probe and QIAGEN – in the second half of the year, we can confirm our previous forecast, namely that sales for the 2010 financial year as a whole will range between u 96 million and u 102 million (sales in 2009: u 79.6 million).

We boosted our first-half sales by 18.0 % from u 36.6 million in the previous year's period to u 43.1 million in the current year. Earnings showed disproportionate growth of 24.0 % from u 4.9 million in the previous year to u 6.1 million. The EBIT margin amounted to 18.7 % as of June 30, 2010 (previous year: 17.1 %). Although we stockpiled production in the first half of 2010 in preparation for the relocation of our Swiss production activities into a new building, the brief interruption to production and high volumes of customer demand led to a supply backlog of around u 3.4 million, which we intend to have worked down by the end of the third quarter of 2010.

In terms of new contracts, we were able to announce the placing of a further major development and supply order. bioMérieux, a partner previously largely reliant on internally developed solutions, has commissioned STRATEC to develop and produce various core components for the next generation VIDAS, one of the most-used in-vitro diagnostics systems worldwide. This order will contribute to further growth at our company from 2012 onwards. This order too is a reflection of current developments within our industry, in which diagnostics companies are focusing on their core competencies, namely the development and marketing of reagents, while commissioning highly-specialized independent partners such as STRATEC to supply the corresponding automation and instrumentation solutions. This provides diagnostics companies with a major advantage in terms of the critical factor of time-to-market, as well as enabling them to reliably plan their development financing.

As a longstanding partner with in-depth expertise and a very broad range of available technology, we are endeavoring to further extend this competitive advantage by permanently drawing on innovations, enhancing our processes, and optimizing the value for money we can offer.

It is also against this backdrop that the three acquisitions made by STRATEC in recent years should be viewed. These enabled us to acquire technology and expertise we would otherwise have had to build up ourselves over many years. We in turn provide our partners with added value that they would otherwise have to procure from several other sources and then integrate into their overall solutions.

The software solutions at Sanguin, a company we acquired in 2006, whose middleware software solutions provide an interface between the analyzer systems and laboratory and hospital software, thus represented a new milestone in the range of services were able to offer to our customers. The integration of Invitek in 2009 and the nucleic acid purification solutions acquired as a result enable STRATEC to offer its customers an all-round instrumentation solution, thus covering the key step in the molecular diagnostics market.

The takeover of the US company Ballista announced at the beginning of July 2010 has been driven by similar considerations. Its competencies in the field of optics systems will enable us to market joint solutions offering considerable benefits to our customers. Not only that, we will also be jointly developing a competence center for the solutions on offer at the STRATEC Group. From here, it will be possible to provide our partners with hands-on, prompt assistance in their development and integration projects. What's more, by building up a network of suppliers in the US dollar area, we aim to benefit from natural hedging, thus offsetting the effects of currency fluctuations. The maximum purchase price of US\$ 5.2 million, partly dependent on the company's performance, is being settled from our own cash flow and with treasury stock. These treasury stock shares were already acquired within a share buyback program in 2008 at an average purchase price of around u 15 each. We expect Ballista, which will be consolidated into group accounting from July 1, 2010, to already contribute to the further growth of the STRATEC Group in the near future.

Our new building in Birkenfeld, where our development teams will in future be working together centrally and have additional capacity at their disposal, is scheduled to be ready to move into in November 2010. You can follow the construction progress via the webcam available on our homepage at www.stratec-biomedical.de.

We have a promising second half ahead, and are currently working with our partners to prepare those market launches due to take place in the near future. In view of these, as well as of the strong performance of existing systems, we expect to see a further growth spurt, especially in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the next two financial years. Over and above those systems due to be newly launched, we are already developing several projects on behalf of our customers that guarantee our further growth in the years beyond 2012 as well.

Birkenfeld, July 2010

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

REPORT ON THE EARNINGS, FINANCIAL AND NET ASSET POSITION

While sales rose to u 43.1 million in the first six months of the 2010 financial year, up 18.0 % on the previous year's figure of u 36.6 million, the Group increased its overall performance in the same period by 21.0 % from u 40.4 million to u 48.8 million. In line with these developments, the cost of materials also rose from u 20.3 million to u 23.9 million.

Due in particular to the increase in development activities, as well as to the further expansion in production capacities and the acquisition of Invitek in April of the previous year, personnel expenses rose from u 9.3 million to u 11.5 million. Other operating expenses increased from u 3.5 million to u 4.2 million. It should be noted in this respect that Invitek has been included in the consolidated figures since April 1, 2009. Depreciation and amortization rose to u 1.4 million. STRATEC thus generated consolidated net income of u 6.1 million in the period under report (previous year: u 4.9 million), corresponding to earnings per share of u 0.53 (previous year: u 0.43).

In the balance sheet, property, plant and equipment grew from u 8.9 million to u 12.5 million due to the capitalization of the new production building at Robion AG in Switzerland, and the start of construction on the development building at STRATEC AG in Birkenfeld. Due to the imminent launch of serial production on three development projects, inventories rose from u 31.6 million to u 40.5 million. Total receivables and other assets increased by u 3.4 million to u 19.9 million, while cash and cash equivalents dropped from u 21.2 million to u 13.7 million in the period under report.

The equity ratio decreased from 69.1 % to 66.0 %. The increase in both noncurrent and current financial liabilities was attributable to the taking up of a loan for the construction of a production building at Robion AG in Switzerland. The rise in accounts payable was driven by higher procurement volumes for raw materials and supplies.

With an outflow of funds of u 4.2 million, the Group's investment activities in the first six months of the 2010 financial year were characterized by the completion of the production building at Robion AG, and the launch of construction work in Birkenfeld. Moreover, over the same period the STRATEC Group invested u 0.9 million (previous year: u 1.0 million) in property, plant and equipment, especially tools, and u 0.2 million (previous year: u 0.3 million) in intangible assets.

CHANGES IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR STRATEC

In its latest Economic Outlook dated July 8, 2010, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) once again raised the growth forecast for the global economy in 2010 to its new level of 4.6 %. The equivalent figure at the beginning of the year had still amounted to 3.9 %. Global growth will be driven in particular by the emerging economic superpowers of China and India in Asia, as well as by Brazil. The IMF also raised its growth forecast for the USA this year to 3.3 %, up from 3.1 % previously, but left its forecast for the euro area unchanged at 1.0 %.

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 medical tests to be performed, but will also result in new, unique opportunities for which STRATEC is optimally positioned with its automation solutions and on which it will continue to focus its strategy and operations.

As a result of the healthcare reform in the USA, there should also be a further increase in the number of people with health insurance, and thus with access to medical care, as well as in the numbers of resultant investigations and related tests.

In view of the factors outlined above, global economic risks, such as the recent recession, only have a very limited impact on STRATEC's business performance and business model. Moreover, long-term supply agreements with our customers and the fact that the work performed is invoiced almost exclusively in euros further minimize the implications of the crisis for STRATEC.

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

On December 17, 2009, STRATEC published a forecast of the Group's further sales and earnings performance.

STRATEC expects to generate sales in a range of u 96 million to u 102 million in the 2010 financial year. Four major development programs (the LIAISON XL analyzer system for DiaSorin, Panther for Gen-Probe, NEO for Immucor, and the QIAensemble system family for QIAGEN), benefits of scale in production and the increasing share of sales generated with consumables and spare parts will facilitate further growth in the EBIT margin. STRATEC expects its EBIT margin for 2010 to rise by at least 0.5 percentage points to at least 19.0 %.

The marked increase in the "inventories" balance sheet item, which is due to the pending launch of serial production on three development projects (Gen-Probe, QIAGEN and DiaSorin), will return to a lower level once again following the launch of marketing by our customers.

In the meantime, the NEO analyzer system was launched on the European market by Immucor, a customer of ours, in the first quarter of 2010. Following approval by the FDA (the US health authority), the system was launched onto the US market at the beginning of the second quarter of 2010.

The significant increase in customer demand for analyzer systems and the brief interruption to production due to the removal mean that the Group had a supply backlog of u 3.4 million at the end of the first half of 2010. This will be worked down by the end of the third quarter of 2010.

In view of the stable growth in all projects and the prospects and customers forecasts received for new programs, STRATEC expects to generate continuous growth in the coming years. The average rate of growth in sales (CAGR) between 2010 and 2012 is thus expected to exceed 15 % a year.

Furthermore, we are holding talks on promising projects with existing and potential customers, which lead us to expect further growth driven by new projects well beyond 2012.

Following the international economic crisis and the resultant economic downturn, the macroeconomic climate has improved once again. All industrial sectors are nevertheless still confronted with a low level of budgeting reliability. 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.

In view of our existing development projects and forecasts, as well as the partial conversion of our forecast systems to the dates at which orders are actually placed by STRATEC's customers, however, our degree of forecasting reliability remains very high.

Apart from this, since the assessment of the situation of the company provided on March 19, 2010 upon the compilation of the Annual Report for the 2009 financial year, no new information has arisen which could lead to any change in our assessment of the expected development of the company.

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 2009 financial year dated March 19, 2010. Reference is made to the "Risk Report" section within the 2009 Group Management Report for details concerning our risk management system and our company's specific opportunity and risk profile.

On July 2, 2010, STRATEC announced the acquisition of 100% of the voting capital in the US company Ballista Inc. Within its expansion strategy, STRATEC is thus extending its market presence in the USA.

Ballista specializes in precision optics technology and related development, production and advisory services with a strong track record as a supplier to the diagnostics and medical technology, biotechnology and aerospace industries. Its expertise and capacities range from prototype assembly through to serial production. In 2009, Ballista generated sales of US\$ 2.7 million with 18 employees. The company was founded in 2004 and is based in Newbury Park, a short distance from Los Angeles. Its three founding partners have longstanding experience in managing and expanding high-growth companies and they have committed, via employment contracts, stock holdings and options, to remain engaged and to work with STRATEC to further develop its US presence and to build on Ballista's existing customers and technology base.

The purchase price, which still has to be adjusted for receivables and liabilities, amounts to a maximum of US\$ 5.2 million. This includes the handover of 35,790 treasury stock shares with an equivalent value of US\$ 1.2 million (based on STRATEC's average share price of u 27.27 on XETRA in the period from June 21, 2010 to June 25, 2010). The cash component of up to US\$ 4.0 million consists firstly of a performance-related component of around US\$ 1.0 million (earn-out), secondly of temporarily deferred purchase price installments with a total value of US\$ 1.0 million, and finally of a sum of US\$ 2.0 million due for immediate payment and to be reduced by the net balance of the company's receivables and liabilities. The shares are subject to various lockup periods. It is planned to consolidate Ballista into the STRATEC Group from July 1, 2010.

Due to the proximity of the date of publication of this interim report to the acquisition date, it is not possible to make any statements concerning the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, or of any goodwill. STRATEC expects to be able to present the preliminary results of the purchase price allocation due to be performed in the near future in the interim group management report upon publication of the interim report as of September 30, 2010.
