Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Order entry in the third quarter at 3 28.6 million exceeded the previous year's figure of 3 24.8 million by approximately 15% and even showed another slight increase over the previous quarter. This positive development was primarily caused by the willingness of Asian packaging customers to invest, which has slowly been reviving since mid-year. Sales of 3 27.0 million in the third quarter were at the level of the previous quarter (Q2 2009: 3 27.3 million), but did not reach the comparable figure from the previous year of 3 34.6 million.

While the third quarter of 2009 confirmed hopes of a revival in the semiconductor equipment market in terms of orders, the effects of the weakness of the global economy were still apparent in the nine-month figures. The Company posted significant declines compared with the previous year for both order entry and sales in the first nine months of the year. Order entry at 3 75.7 million fell around 32% short of the comparable figure from the previous year of 3 111.2 million. Sales of 3 81.3 million were about 22% lower than in the same period of the previous year (9M 2008: 3 104.3 million). The order backlog as of September 30, 2009 amounted to 3 63.4 million (September 30, 2008: 3 85.7 million).

Against the backdrop of the cost saving measures carried out early on, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) after nine months totaled 3 -0.6 million, thus achieving a nearly balanced overall result. In the previous year, earnings before interest and taxes were affected by extraordinary expenses of 3 18.3 million and totaled 3 -16.5 million after nine months. Earnings after taxes (EAT) amounted to 3 -1.4 million after 3 -16.3 million in the same period of the previous year.

Operating cash flow increased compared to the same period of the previous year from 3-0.6million to 38.5million. For the first nine months, we have reached our goal of generating a positive free cash flow. Before taking into account securities purchases amounting to 3 5.2 million, the free cash flow totaled 3 5.6 million (9M 2008: 3 -6.6 million).

and securities of 3 25.3 million. Net liquidity also improved significantly in nine-month comparison from 3 1.5 million to 3 15.3 million. Through conclusion of a sale-and-lease-back agreement over 3 3.0 million for the SAP system implemented in July 2008, the Company was able to further improve its financial strength at the beginning of October.

In the third quarter, we successfully concluded a further research cooperation in the area of 3D integration. In addition to the cooperation projects already in place with industry partners 3M and Thin Materials as well

as the Belgian research center for nano-electronics IMEC, we established a cooperation with the world's leading research institute in the semiconductor industry, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan, at the end of September. SUSS MicroTec's entry into the AD-STAC consortium, a multinational association of industry partners led by ITRI, will allow us to further expand our product and process development expertise in the area of 3D integration.

After we had already anticipated at the beginning of the year a significant sales decline compared with the previous year due to the weakness of the global economy, our concrete expectation for the full year is now sales of 3 115 million and a balanced operating result. In addition, we are maintaining our assessment that operational business in 2009 will generate enough free cash flow for the further organic development of the core business.

gration). Within the scope of the cooperation, the Ad-STAC consortium, a multinational research association of industry partners led by ITRI, will install SUSS MicroTec's 300mm Lithography Cluster LithoPack300 as well as the 300mm Bond Cluster XBC300 in its demo production line in Hsin-Chu, Taiwan. Both systems are intended for the processing of wafers and combine the latest product generation from SUSS MicroTec's 300mm portfolio. Entering into the consortium will allow SUSS MicroTec to expand its expertise in 3D integration with regard to additional process developments.

First 300mm Test Solution for 3D Integration Launched

SUSS MicroTec has developed a new Test System for the electronic testing of three-dimensional structures stacked at the 300mm wafer level and launched this on the market at the beginning of September. The new PA300PS 3D Test System was developed specifically for the field of 3D integration and enables various tests to be carried out during process development. Furthermore, it allows for a performance check to be carried

out following production of the wafer and prior to additional stacking procedures or the final packaging of chips in their housing. The system supplements the Wafer Bonder and Lithography Systems product ranges already manufactured at SUSS MicroTec for the production of threedimensional chip structures.

Order entry in the third quarter of the current fiscal year at 3 28.6 million not only exceeded the previous year's figure of 3 24.8 million by approximately 15%, but also shows another slight increase over the previous quarter. The positive development was primarily driven by the Coater product line. Sales of 3 27.0 million in the third quarter were at the level of the previous quarter (Q2 2009: 3 27.3 million), but did not reach the figure from the previous year of 3 34.6 million.

The Company posted significant declines compared to the previous year for both order entry and sales in the first nine months of the current year. Order entry at 3 75.7 million remained approximately 32% below its comparable figure from the previous year of 3 111.2 million.

In the previous year, earnings before interest and taxes were affected by extraordinary expenses of 3 18.3 million and totaled 3 -16.5 million after nine months. Earnings after taxes (EAT) amounted to 3 -1.4 million after 3 -16.3 million in the same period of the previous year. Basic earnings per share (EPS) thus totaled 3 -0.08 (9M 2008: 3 -0.96).

Operating cash flow increased compared with the same period of the previous year, from 3 -0.6 million to 3 8.5 million. The free cash flow before taking into account securities purchases of 3 5.2 million (Q3 2008: 3 4.5 million) totaled 3 5.6 million (9M 2008: 3 -6.6 million). The significant cutback in accounts receivable as well as the curtailment of investing activities had a positive effect here. In total, the SUSS MicroTec Group had liquid assets of 3 25.3 million as of September 30, 2009. The net cash position improved by 3 1.5 million over the figure as of June 30, 2009 to 3 15.3 million as of September 30, 2009 (September 30, 2008: 3 1.5 million).

Sales and Order Position by Region

The analysis of the regional sales distribution shows strong sales declines compared with the previous year in the regions of North America (-33.6%), Rest of Asia (-20.7%), and Europe (-18.5%), while the decline in the Japan region was comparatively moderate at -10.2%.

The analysis of regional order entry presents an entirely different picture. Here, the Japan region shows the strongest order decline (-60.7%), followed by Europe (-48.6%), and North America (-48.4%). The Rest of Asia region on the other hand shows a 4.6% rise in order entry in nine-month comparison. The positive development in Asia is mainly attributable to the reviving willingness to invest on the part of production customers, particularly those located in Taiwan.

Order entrY by region

Lithography Division

The Lithography division posted significant declines in both order entry and sales in the first nine months of the 2009 fiscal year. Order entry after nine months amounted to 3 45.5 million, which fell short of the previous year's figure of 3 78.1 million by approximately 42%. At 3 52.9 million, division sales were about 23% lower than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The willingness of Asian packaging customers to invest, which has been reviving since mid-year, left its mark in the third quarter, particularly in stronger demand for Coater. However, this slight improvement was not yet able to offset the weaker development of the division overall as a result of the global economic crisis. The division result fell by 50% to 3 7 million as a result of low sales.

Lithography division overview

The Substrate Bonder division improved in terms of both order entry and sales in ninemonth comparison. Order entry after nine months amounted to 3 15.2 million and was approximately 18% higher than the figure of 3 12.9 million for the same period of the previous year. At 3 14.2 million, the division generated sales about 29% higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year (9M 2008: 3 11.0 million). The positive development of the division is a result of the rising importance of bonding equipment in the production process for future three-dimensional chip structures (3D integration) as well as its current, expanded product range. Against this backdrop, the division result improved over the previous year's figure, adjusted for extraordinary effects, from 3 -4.0 million to 3 -1.8 million in 2009.

Test Systems Division

The Test Systems division generated order entry of 3 11.8 million in the first nine months of the current year. This is around 26% lower than in the same period of the previous year. Sales amounted to 3 10.6 million and thus fell approximately 42% short of the comparable figure from the previous year (9M 2008: 3 18.4 million). The generally difficult economic environment as well as the competitive situation and the associated pressure on margins are responsible for the division's declining trend. Against this backdrop, the division loss of 3 1.9 million rose by about 58% over the previous year's loss of 3 1.2 million, adjusted for extraordinary effects.

Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Report of SUSS MicroTec AG as of September 30, 2009

1. General accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of December 31, 2008 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and valid as of the balance sheet date. The interim Group financial statements as of September 30, 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", have been drawn up – with exceptions made under point 4 – using the same accounting methods as in the 2008 Group financial statements.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), which are mandatory as of September 30, 2009 have also been applied.

For additional information on the individual accounting methods applied, please refer to the consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of December 31, 2008.

The interim financial statements were neither audited by the group's auditors, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, nor did they undergo an auditing review.

2. Changes in the Group structure

The financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG and all of the major companies for which there is a group control option according to the control principle, irrespective of the level of participating interest, are included in the consolidated financial statements. With respect to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008, there were no changes within the consolidated group.

3. Reportable matters

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the interim period under review, SUSS MicroTec AG increased its balance of available for sale securities in an amount of 5.2 million 3. The securities concerned are corporate and government bonds bearing fixed interest. The securities purchased are all with an investment grade rating. The securities have been measured at fair value. Any fluctuations in the market price are recorded under equity in other comprehensive income and therefore do not affect profit and loss. In the first nine month of the prior year SUSS MicroTec AG purchased available for sale securities in an amount of 4.5 million 3.

In the first nine months of the prior year, SUSS MicroTec AG converted further portions of its intragroup foreign currency loans to Suss MicroTec Inc. into loans with an indefinite term. In accordance with IAS 21, instead of presenting the effects from the measurement as at the balance sheet date in the income statement, the company now presents them in other comprehensive income. Furthermore, SUSS MicroTec AG converted a portion of the existing indeterminate loan to Suss MicroTec Inc. into equity. The debt-/equity-ratio is such as to optimise the tax deductibility of the interest expense at this company.

There were in the interim reporting period no other events or matters affecting assets, debts, equity, period result or cash flow that were unusual in terms of their nature, extent or frequency.

4. Change in presentation

In the prior year, the SUSS MicroTec Group had completed its processing of the remaining orders in the Device Bonder Segment, which had been sold, and is no longer engaged in any activities in this segment. Consequently there is no longer any breakdown of the quarterly figures into continuing and discontinued activities of the Group.

In contrast to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2008, in the interim reporting period SUSS MicroTec AG has, for the first time, applied hedge accounting for interest swaps. The interest swaps date from 2007 and were concluded as a hedge for the variable interest promissory notes. Instead of being recognised in the income statement, changes in market value are now shown under other comprehensive income. The change in market value of the interest swaps in the interim period amounted to minus 0.4 million 3. After consideration of deferred taxes, comprehensive income decreased by 0.3 million 3.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In order to comply in this interim report with the requirements of IFRS 8 Segment Reporting, which has been mandatory since January 1, 2009, the segment reporting contains for the first time a statement of the pre-tax result per segment. This enables the sum of the segment results to be reconciled with the overall consolidated result before tax.

Already in the prior year a slight adjustment has been made in the determination of the segment result, which also contains income and expenses from the translation of foreign currency and from disposals of assets. In total, the results of the segments now correspond to the operating result, i.e. EBIT, of the Group. In the interim period of the prior year the total difference between former and modified determination of the segment result was attributed to the segment "Other". In the meantime the exact attribution to the individual segment is possible. The presentation of prior year has been adjusted accordingly.

5. Revision of estimates

If estimates were made within the scope of the interim reporting, they shall remain essentially unchanged in methodology within the fiscal year and in the fiscal year comparison.

In contrast to the method of approach at year-end, the income tax expense in each interim reporting period is recorded on the basis of the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the entire fiscal year.

SUSS MicroTec AG currently assumes that the expected tax rate will differ from the income tax rate of about 28%. The main reason for this difference is, that tax losses of foreign affiliates can not be capitalized as deferred tax asset.

Furthermore, there were no changes subject to reporting requirements that have a significant impact on the current interim reporting period.

6. Debenture bonds or equity securities

No issues, buybacks or repayments were effected during the reporting period, either for debenture bonds or for other equity securities.

7. Dividends paid

No dividends were paid out or proposed for disbursement during the reporting period.

8. Significant events after the close of the interim reporting period

Effective from October 1,2009 SUSS MicroTec entered into a sale-and-lease-back agreement for its SAP-Software, which was going live in July 2008. The agreed purchase price of 3.0 million 3 was transferred to SUSS MicroTec AG in the first half of October. The lease contract has a duration of 40 months.

There were no further significant events subject to reporting requirements after the close of the interim reporting period.

9. Contingent liabilities and contingent claims

There are no contingent claims. There were no significant changes in contingent liabilities with respect to the reporting time frame of December 31, 2008.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

10.Earnings per share

The undiluted earnings per share are determined by dividing the net income for the period accruing to the shares (after minority interests) by the average number of shares.

To determine the diluted earnings per share, the profit for the period to be attributed to the shareholders (after minority interests), as well as the weighted average of the shares in circulation, must be adjusted for the effects of all potentially diluting shares.

The subscription rights issued for shares in the Company were not taken into consideration in computing the diluted earnings, since their inclusion would lead to a negative dilution effect.

11. Related parties

The Group was affected in the interim period under review by the disclosure obligations relating to business relationships with the former chairman of the supervisory board. The former chairman of supervisory board, Dr. Richter was also the Chief Executive Officer of Thin Materials AG, which is domiciled in Eichenau. SUSS MicroTec AG entered into a cooperation agreement with this company in the interim period. The contract governs the collaboration of the two enterprises in the area of thin wafer processing. In this connection, SUSS MicroTec AG acquired intellectual property (IP) and know-how for 0.9 million 3 in the area of thin wafer handling. The capitalised IP will be amortised over five years. Dr. Richter resigned prematurely from his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board at the conclusion of the shareholders' meeting on June 24, 2009.
