Dear Shareholders Dear Sir or Madam.
We are happy to report a turnover growth of more than 90 percent over the previous year's period and an EBIT of almost three million Euro for the fi rst half of 2008.
This provides evidence of the success of the strategic concentration on large on-roof projects for institutional investors and roof owners. Two major projects that are still under way are representative of this approach. One of these is the Waldeck project package for an institutional investor for approximately 5.6 MWp, which consists of four large individual projects; the other is the Hassleben project for a roof owner, which will be the world's largest on-roof system consisting of thin-fi lm modules.
We will continue to concentrate on thin-fi lm technology, as we expect this technology's price advantage to enable our customers to achieve the targeted yield potential. Against this background, an extensive framework agreement for the supply of more than 120 MWp micro-amorphous thin-fi lm modules from mid-2009 until the end of 2012 was concluded with the solar module manufacturer Moser Baer in June.
With this positioning, we are gaining a stronger foothold in the international market, in which we will focus on institutional investors and owners of large roof areas, usually on industrial or commercial facilities. To support this course, the company participated in the Intersolar trade show in Munich in June and the Intersolar North America in July.
We are well prepared for the amendments to the feed-in legislation in Germany and Spain. The higher decrease of the feed-in compensation in Germany starting from 2009 is a development that we have been anticipating for some time, and we believe that our focus on thin-fi lm technology gives us a considerable competitive edge. In Spain, especially the discussions about introducing a cap on installations give rise to fears of a severe market slump from 2009 on. Whatever the case may be, with our small local team, we will be able to operate in an adequate and fl exible manner in the Spanish market. Moreover, current activities such as our market entry in Italy and the USA underline our efforts to continue to drive the company's international expansion.
Due to this strategic positioning and the positive results of the fi rst quarter, several banks have regained their trust in the company and granted interim project fi nancing and credit lines. Thus, the company is in a good position to achieve the defi ned growth targets both for the current fi scal year and for the next fi scal year.
However, the result is still encumbered by some past business transactions. Thus, in 2008 newly gained fi ndings on warranties based on experience in the past have been entered in the provisions as well as some doubtful receivables from customers.
Together with the entire management team, we are currently busy elaborating the growth strategy with a view to the reduced market growth in Germany from 2009, the drop in excess demand by 2010 and the further planned international expansion and effi ciently aligning the company organisation accordingly. Thus, we expect the positive performance of COLEXON Energy AG to have a sustainable impact on the company's rating in the capital market in the future.
With best regards,
Thorsten Preugschas Dr. Volker Wingefeld
HASSLEBEN - 4.64 MWP
Hassleben - Currently the world's largest photovoltaic on-roof system with a capacity of 4.64 MWp - under construction
Since June of this year, COLEXON has been building the world's largest PV on-roof system consisting of thinfi lm modules on a farm in Hassleben, Brandenburg/Germany. Our customer is the owner of the farm. The order volume for the project is about EUR 17.5 million, the system will boast a capacity of 4.64 MWp. With this project, COLEXON underlines its positioning as one of the leading system integrators of large on-roof solar power plants. Already in 2006 and 2007, the company had completed projects that represented the then-largest on-roof systems consisting of thin-fi lm modules.
Like the previous large-scale installations, the Hassleben plant makes use of First Solar modules. Within the scope of the project, about 64,000 modules are installed on stilts on a roof area of approximately 95,000 m². Four inverters transform the direct current into alternating current. Under the building supervision of COLEXON, up to 40 skilled labourers are working on the site. The project is split into four building sections of about the same size. The fi rst section will be commissioned in August of this year. The entire project is to be fi nished by the end of 2008. The projected capacity of the solar power plant is about 4.37 million kWh per year, corresponding to estimated savings of more than 3,900 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
WALDECK - 3.04 MWP
Waldeck - 3.04 MWp project as part of 5.6 MWp overall package for Renewagy A/S
By the end of March, COLEXON had started building several photovoltaic systems with a nominal total capacity of 3.04 MWp in Waldeck, Thuringia/Germany. The project comprises an order volume of approximately EUR 10.9 million and is part of an agreement for a total volume of approximately EUR 21 million (approximately 5.6 MWp). The Danish company Renewagy A/S, a major shareholder of COLEXON Energy AG, operates as contract partner and investor. This contract also includes other solar power plants on roofs in Saxony, Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate.
In Waldeck, 41,880 thin-fi lm modules of the manufacturer First Solar were installed on 52 stable roofs of a poultry farm, most of them on rails and a small number on stilts. Moreover, the system includes fi ve inverters. The covered roof area totals approximately 33,000 m2 . Under the supervision of COLEXON, up to 50 skilled labourers worked on site at peak times. The solar power plant was commissioned in June according to schedule. Every year, the plant generates 2.8 million kWh of electricity, which corresponds to estimated savings of more than 2,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
PROJECT-HIGHLIGHTS IN THE 1ST HALF YEAR OF 2008
6 • 1ST HALF YEAR REPORT | Q2 2008 •
Michelin - 1.9 MWp on-roof solar system on the roofs of the Michelin tyre company - under construction
COLEXON GmbH is currently in the process of installing a photovoltaic system with a total capacity of 1.9 MWp on the roofs of one of the largest interim tyre warehouses of the Michelin tyre company in Landau, Palatinate/Germany. The system is to be commissioned in late August of this year. The project comprises an order volume of approximately EUR 7.4 million. Here too, the Danish company Renewagy A/S serves as contract partner and investor.
The plant is being set up in the form of subunits on fi ve roofs with a maximum individual roof capacity of 560 kWp. Within the scope of the project, 6,360 monocrystalline Yunnan Tianda modules, 3,720 polycrystalline Moser Baer modules and 4,625 First Solar thin-fi lm modules are being installed on a total roof area of 46,500 m2 . The substructure consists of aluminium tanks with anchors penetrating the roof. Following the upgrade of the roof, more than 19,000 m of tanks were installed. The solar power plant operates with central Solarmax inverters by Sputnik. In separate inverter buildings, nine inverters generate a total of 1.87 million kWh of electricity, saving 750 tons of CO2 emissions.
In the fi rst half of 2008, the stock market was characterised by severe fl uctuations, mainly triggered by concerns about the fi nancial stability of fi nancial and property companies in the face of the subprime crisis. From peak levels of approximately 8,100 at the end of 2007, the German share index DAX slumped considerably in January and March. Following a preliminary low of approximately 6,180 points in March, the index recovered to a level of approximately 7,200 points. However, another decline followed towards the middle of the year due to the persisting uncertainty caused by the bank crisis and record oil prices. In July 2008, the leading DAX index temporarily dropped below 6,100 points.
The performance of the Prime IG Renewable Energy Index was equally volatile, falling 1,305 points at the end of 2007 to a low of 730 points in March 2008. After recovering to approximately 1,100 points, the index again dropped to 965 points at the end of the six-month period, after which it continued to descend towards the annual low in July. The decline in the prices of solar shares was also related to the uncertainty concerning the future feed-in compensation for solar electricity and the effects on the industry. After Germany's Federal Government passed a viable resolution in this connection in June, shares from renewable energies segment started to recover again.
The COLEXON Energy AG share, too, was affected by the general market trend. From an initial level of EUR 12.88, the share dropped to EUR 6.28 in March 2008. By the end of the fi rst half of the year, the share climbed to EUR 6.94, closing the fi rst six-month period with a loss of approximately 46 percent. Hence, market capitalisation on that date was EUR 35.5 million. No capital measures were taken in the fi rst six months of the fi scal year.
The shareholders' structure has not changed during the fi rst half year of 2008 an is according to WpHG announcements by June 30, 2008 as follows:
In the course of the fi rst half of 2008, the price of the convertible bond proved to be a little bit more stable. Following an initial value of about EUR 19.00 and a temporary decline to EUR 17.20 at the end of January, the price was able to recover to EUR 20.00 and eventually closed the fi rst six-month period at EUR 19.00. After the end of the reporting period, the price declined slightly to EUR 18.50 on August 15, 2008.
Interests on the convertible bond shall be paid with 3.5 percent on the subscribed price of EUR 21.90. The interest rate amounts to 7.665 percent, based on the nominal amount of the convertible bond of EUR 10.00. Each partial debenture on a nominal value of EUR 10.00 entitles to acquire one share in COLEXON Energy AG. Coupon date is on May 08. Due date of the convertible bond is on May 08, 2009. On this date, bearers, who do not exercise the conversion right during the period of conversion, get a repayment sum of EUR 21.90. On the current price level, this opens up a two-digit return potential to investors.
This year's annual general meeting of COLEXON Energy AG was held on May 28, 2008 at the Hamburg Chamber of Crafts. At the meeting, 25.89 percent of the capital stock were represented, and all proposals of the management regarding the individual agenda items were adopted with a majority of well over 90 percent. Among other things, the shareholders decided to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers AG as the company's auditors.
Yet, the main topic at the shareholders' meeting was the expansion and reappointment of the Supervisory Board. Dr. Hans-Joachim Reh was elected member of the Supervisory Board in place of Michael Brag, who resigned from his offi ce as of the end of the annual general meeting on May 28, 2008. Moreover, a resolution was passed to expand the Supervisory Board from three to six members in order to boost its effectiveness and expertise in view of the rapid growth of the company. Against this background, Dr. Alexandra von Bernstorff, Lasse Lindblad and Pieter Wasmuth were elected new members of the Supervisory Board.
At its constituent meeting on July 17, 2008, the Supervisory Board elected Dr. Hans-Joachim Reh as the new Chairman. Henceforth, the previous Supervisory Board Chairman Dr. Karl Freiherr von Hahn will serve as Vice-Chairman.
In the fi rst half of the 2008 fi scal year, the core task of investor relations was to convince the shareholders of the new orientation of COLEXON Energy AG and the sustainability of the company growth. In the reporting period, the Executive Board regularly engaged in detailed talks with domestic and international investors and analysts.
COLEXON Energy AG is sole shareholder of COLEXON GmbH, Hamburg/Germany, of COLEXON Iberia S.L, Madrid/Spain, as well as of COLEXON Corporation, Tempe/USA. COLEXON GmbH carries out the domestic operational business activities. On June 26, 2008, COLEXON Energy AG and COLEXON GmbH concluded a merger agreement. The registration of the merger in the commercial register is still outstanding. Upon registration, the transferring entity COLEXON GmbH would expire and all its assets together with all rights and obligations would be transferred to COLEXON Energy AG. The merger is mainly performed for tax reasons and shall facilitate the preparation of quarterly and annual fi nancial statements.
In June 2008, the German Bundestag adopted the amendment to the German Renewable Energies Act (EEG), which provides for a higher decrease of the feed-in compensation from 2009 on (about 8 to 9 percent per year instead of 5 or 6.5 percent as previously). However, as the industry had already expected a change of this magnitude since autumn 2007, the pre-emptive effects on the demand have already been evident since the beginning of the year. What is new is that on-roof systems above 1 MWp will be subject to further reduction; henceforth, systems above this size will be treated virtually in the same way as open- fi eld systems, making on-roof projects above 1 MWp far less attractive in Germany. The company expects that from 2009, there will be many on-roof projects just under 1 MWp, both for institutional investors and for roof owners. With its thin-fi lm technology and the package concept in which small projects are bundled and sold to investors, the company considers its positioning for this market to be effective.
The Spanish market is currently overshadowed by a draft that provides for a substantial incision in the Royal Decree (Real Dekreto 661/2007). According to this draft, the feed-in compensation is to be reduced by up to 35 percent from September 30, 2008. For open fi eld systems, this means a reduction of the feed-in tariff to 29 c/kWh, and a compensation of 33 c/kWh is planned for on-roof systems. Moreover, an installation cap of 300 MW is to apply from 2009, with a 200-MW limit for on-roof systems and a 100-MW limit for open fi eld systems. By contrast, the national energy commission CNE proposes a shift of the cap in favour of open-space systems (open fi eld systems: 250 MW, on-roof systems: 50 MW). In any case, this cap would result in a slump in the development of the Spanish solar market. We suspect that the local energy suppliers will divide the 300 MW among themselves, thereby blocking the market for other companies. Moreover, due to the protracted approval procedures of up to one year, the cap will be exhausted at an early stage. By comparison: according to conservative estimates, this year's installation volume is approximately 900 MW. Thus, the future of the Spanish PV industry is quite uncertain at present. We must wait and see what the new decree – which is expected to be issued in October – will bring.
Instead, it seems that especially Italy and the Czech Republic will develop as future growth markets. A substantial increase is evident both in the demand for modules in the trade segment and in the demand for projects. In both countries, COLEXON has established initial trade contacts and is currently investigating effi cient possibilities of entering the market by cooperating with local project partners.
This year, the promotion situation for on-roof projects has improved in South Korea. However, the national module certifi cation, which will be required from 2009 on, will represent an additional entry barrier for the import of foreign modules. Due to the good visibility of the BIPV project with LG Chem Ltd. and the on-roof competency, the group believes that there is a good potential for further market development.
Due to the missing or lower subsidies in the USA, the price structure is quite different from that in the European markets, both for the module trading business and for photovoltaics projects. Currently, modules are scarce in the USA, as the European market – particularly the Spanish market – devours a major portion of the global capacities. Nevertheless, in view of rising energy prices, the increase in planned promotion measures and possibly grid parity, experts expect substantial growth in the US market as a whole or in individual federal states in the medium to long run. However, the full market potential will only be discernible after the US presidential elections in November of this year.
In the fi rst half of this year, about 25 percent of the global module capacity went to the Spanish market, as this market yielded the highest prices due to the boom situation. Increasing or high prices were also evident in other markets, especially for crystalline modules. The demand for thin-fi lm modules, especially for those of the manufacturer First Solar, also continued to exceed the supply. Nevertheless, this only affected the company to a lesser degree on the supply side, as the majority of purchased module quotas were secured at fi xed prices under long-term framework agreements.
As expected, pre-emptive effects due to the adopted higher decrease provided for in the EEG (German Renewable Energies Act) from 2009 on resulted in a very high demand both for projects and for modules in the wholesale sector in the fi rst half of the 2008 fi scal year, especially in Germany. This was also evident from the positive sales revenue and earnings performance. Thus, in the second quarter of 2008, the sales revenue could be increased by 91 percent compared to the prior year, bringing EBIT to TEUR 2.963. The result was encumbered by a number of special effects from warranties from previous periods amounting to approximately TEUR 628.
In the fi rst half of 2008, the COLEXON Group generated total sales revenue of TEUR 56,610 and hence was able to almost double sales compared to the fi rst half of the previous year. Here, 53 percent were from the projects segment and 47 percent from the distribution segment. Sales revenue in the projects segment mainly resulted from the Waldeck project portfolio with 5.6 MWp, which has been under construction for the customer Renewagy A/S since April.
Other operating income increased by TEUR 1,106 to TEUR 1,409 (previous year period: TEUR 303). Thanks to the substantial contribution of the Waldeck portfolio to the result, the gross profi t increased by TEUR 4,355 to TEUR 10,226 (previous year period: TEUR 5,871). This represents 18 percent (previous year period: 20 percent) of the sales revenue. With 21 new employees joining the workforce, personnel expenses increased by TEUR 774 to TEUR 2,385. Compared to the sales revenue, other operating expenses merely increased by 39 percent to TEUR 4,747. This results in an EBIT of TEUR 2,964 (previous year period: TEUR 747). On the one hand, this increase of almost 300 percent is based on the increased gross profi t; on the other hand, expenses (personnel expenses, depreciation and other operating expenses) only increased by TEUR 2,138. It was thus possible to improve the earnings for the period from TEUR 158 to TEUR 1,364.
With a slight increase of TEUR 192 to TEUR 25,319, long-term assets remained almost unchanged.
On the other hand, current assets increased by TEUR 11,574 from TEUR 31,254 to TEUR 42,828. The stock increase was particularly due to the higher inventory of unfi nished products and an increase in advance payments made. The unfi nished products mainly result from projects that had already started but whose progress had not yet fulfi lled all criteria to qualify as sales according to the percentage-of-completion method as of the reporting date. The advance payments were made for projects under construction. Short-term trade accounts receivable climbed to TEUR 4,009 (December 31, 2007: TEUR 3,170). Future receivables from production orders increased by TEUR 7,297 to TEUR 16,812; most of these projects are expected to be completed and ready for handover within the next few months. In the fi rst half of 2008, cash and cash equivalents declined to TEUR 3,109 (December 31, 2007: TEUR 3,931).
On the liabilities side, long-term liabilities increased by TEUR 1,356 to TEUR 11,551.
Current liabilities increased by TEUR 9,045 from TEUR 12,699 to TEUR 21,744. Thus, other provisions increased by TEUR 1,998 to TEUR 4,126, short-term fi nancial liabilities due to banks by TEUR 2,818 to TEUR 6,116, and advance payments received by TEUR 3,587 to TEUR 5,032.
As of June 30, 2008, the cash fl ow from operating activities amounted to TEUR -4,212 (previous year period: TEUR -2,560). The negative cash fl ow is the result of the increase in future receivables from production orders for projects whose handover is planned within the next few weeks as well as of the increase in inventories.
The cash fl ow from investing activities amounted to TEUR -233 (previous year period: TEUR -178).
Owing to the increase in interim project fi nancing, the cash fl ow from fi nancing activities amounted to TEUR 2,818 (previous year period: TEUR -1,709). Currently, further interim fi nancing schemes for solar projects are in negotiation.
For the presentation of the risk management system of COLEXON Energy AG, please refer to the Annual Report 2007.
Regarding the opportunities and risks, please also refer to the Annual Report 2007. Today, we rate some of the individual risks identifi ed in the Annual Report 2007 differently:
Meanwhile, the new feed-in compensation from 2009 has been determined by law. Thanks to the focus on thin-fi lm technology, the company expects a competitive edge from 2009 on in Germany, owing to the more favourable price/ performance ratio of this technology.
Apart from a long-term supply agreement with First Solar, the market leader in the fi eld of thin-fi lm modules, we concluded a supply agreement with Moser Baer in the second quarter of 2008. The earnings targets for this year are secured by additional quotas of the supplier First Solar to be shipped in 2008.
Meanwhile, we have concluded business fi nancing agreements with four banks, thereby containing the liquidity risk.
Initial teething trouble with the new IT systems have been overcome. The controlling, treasury and accounting processes have been professionalized. The restructuring of the company is proceeding according to plan.
From the current perspective, there are no obvious risks that could endanger the continuation of the company either alone or in combination with other risks.
After the reporting date, there were no other events that could have a major impact on the earnings position, fi nancial status or liquidity of COLEXON Energy AG.
In the international market, a tangible drop in demand is expected from the third quarter of this year due to the anticipated decline in the Spanish market along with a price reduction for modules. It remains to be seen to what extent these will be absorbed by the German market, which continues to boom in 2008.
However, due to the concluded framework and project agreements and an expected additional quota from the supplier First Solar for the current fi scal year 2008, the company's Executive Board is confi dent that the defi ned sales revenue and earnings targets will be reached, with sales revenue of EUR 110 million and an EBIT between EUR 6 to 8 million. For 2009, the company expects growth rates of 35 percent and an EBIT margin of approximately 5 percent.
However, due to the well-known dynamics of the photovoltaics market, it is possible that future developments and results differ from our present expectations.
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles, the interim consolidated fi nancial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, fi nancial and earnings position of the group, and the interim consolidated management report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group.

With the capital contribution agreement dated February 01, 2005, the partners of Reinecke + Pohl Solare Energien GmbH contributed all interests in the company to COLEXON Energy AG (former Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG) by means of payment to the capital reserves. During that period, the partners of Reinecke + Pohl Solare Energien GmbH were largely identical to the shareholders of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG. To determine the acquisition costs of the capital contribution, the goodwill was calculated and balanced on the basis of an evaluation of the company value.
At the time of the capital contribution, COLEXON Energy AG was a new company as defi ned in IFRS 3.22.
The capital contribution should therefore have been made without balancing any goodwill. The necessary correction is as follows:

The above mentioned receivables and liabilities are short-term. Besides the subsidiary companies included in the CFS, COLEXON Energy AG, whilst exercising their normal business activities, undertakes directly or indirectly transactions wit related persons and companies.
Within the scope of usual business activities, all goods and services transactions with related companies and persons were conducted on usual market terms and conditions, as is generally done with third parties.
Deliveries and services supplied to a company with major infl uence consist of the installation of large-scale PV projects. Receivables are future receivables from production orders. The down payments received concern the installation of largescale projects.
In the case of deliveries and services supplied to a member of the Executive Board, deliveries include modules and components for a private photovoltaic system. Receivables consist chiefl y of the interest on former receivables and to a minor extent of advance payments made for expenses. Within the framework of a comparative agreement between a Board member and the company's Supervisory Board, a balanced receivable was value-adjusted by TEUR 314 at the end of the 2006 fi scal year. The receivable chiefl y resulted from the breach of earnings guarantees in connection with the integration of shares in Maaß Regenerative Energien GmbH. The remaining sum is being deposited with securities until the full payment has been made as per the agreement. As of December 31, 2007, there were outstanding receivables totalling TEUR 109. In March 2008, TEUR 96 was paid to the company by the board member.
Goods and service received from a former member of the Supervisory Board include legal and consulting fees.
The related party entity is owned by a family member of one member of the Executive Board. Goods and services delivered include module supplies on usual market terms.
The COLEXON Group grants its customers different warranties. Their actual utilisation cannot be precisely projected when the sales revenue is realised, and is therefore based on estimates that are made on the basis of assumptions that affect the amount of these reserves. These estimates are affected by future changes in productivity, material and personnel expenses, as well as quality improvement programmes.
On the basis of new fi ndings, the warranty reserves were checked for suitability and increased by TEUR 628 as of June 30, 2008, in line with IAS 8.32 (e).
In the CFS as of June 30, 2008, all companies are included, of which COLEXON AG has the direct or indirect majority of voting rights.
In addition to the parent company COLEXON Energy AG, the following subsidiary companies have been included in the CFS as of June 30, 2008, in the course of full consolidation:
| STAKE | |
