Management Report 2006/2007

Business and Results

Since spring 2004, the economy of our industrial section in the German speaking countries still continues to boom especially due to exports. In fiscal year 2006/07, F. turnover was only to benefit under-proportionally because as a major importer buying from dollar regions, we are forced to invoice the dollar decline to our industrial end customers. First time after many years, we had to take a decline in turnover by 3,5 million EUR during this fiscal year. Fact is that we were not in a position to fully compensate a unique major order in the filed of data recognition from the second half of previous year in the amount of 5 million EUR. Not taken into consideration this major order, a continuous organic turnover increase can be recorded which during this fiscal year was primarily made by our subsidiaries.

Whereas the group's turnover of 42,8 million EUR in fiscal year 2006/07 was below the previous year's figure (45,3 million EUR), the operative result of the group could again be considerably raised compared to previous year because of the good economy in general. This was topped as well by an operative cash flow of 3,3 million EUR – i.e. even more than 1 EUR per share and a profit before tax of about 2,7 million EUR (previous year 2,6 million EUR).

In order to judge the exact profit of the company in fiscal year 2006/07, it should be taken into account that last year the company gained 0,5 million EUR due to the sale of bonds mainly tax-free. This was not possible during this year. Due to the tax free profits of last year's financial result, also the low tax rate of last year (35,7%) could be explained compared to this year's tax burden (42,6).

Financial Situation

The company only works on own capital. Having a capital quota of 778% at a balance volume of 24,1 million EUR, the company possesses sufficient own capital and thus is in a position to finance without any problem the organic growth and consolidations made by acquisitions. At present, there is neither limited nor granted capital nor a return-of-share program.

Although in spring 2007, only part of the handed-out shares within the share-option programs has been transformed, the company nevertheless earned a total of 3 million EUR from limited capital as capital improvement. The number of shares increased from 2,7 million pcs to now 2.954.943 pcs at a nominal value of 1 EUR.

Management and board at the annual shareholders' meeting again suggest a dividend of EUR 0,30 per share for this increased number of shares. This was done first of all in view of a still continuous financing of planned investments by own capital this year and the company still working without bank liabilities.

The signed capital is exclusively common stock drawn to bondholders and entitled to vote. There are neither restrictions in the right to vote nor the purchase. The AK

Industriebeteiligungen GmbH, Norderfriedrichskog possesses 10% of the company's capital since 25.02.2003.

Appointment and dismissal of the board is in accordance with legal regulations (§§ 84, 85 AktG). Changes in articles of the association, especially dismissal of the supervisory board is dependent of a majority of board votes of 75%. The compensation of the supervisory board breaks down to a fix, a variable and a sharebased part. At 13.12.2007, the general shareholders board decided, that the required statements in the financial report can be omitted as per § 285 Nr. 9a Satz 5-9 HGB and/or§ 314 Absatz 1 Nr. 6 Satz 5-9 HGB.

When controlling based on a take-over offer, it is agreed that the suppliers' contracts essential for the company may be cancelled by the latter. Especially when there is a risk that a competitor will take over. At present, there are no reimbursement agreements made by the board in such a case.

On December 18, 2006, the German Inspection Office for Invoicing (DPR) informed us, that the year's report per 30.06.2006 will be inspected as per § 342 b Abs. 2 Satz 3 No. 3 HGB (random inspection). After inspection, the DPR informed us by letter October 25, 2007 that there has been no mistakably invoicing recorded in 2005/2006.

Analysis und Strategy

F focus is on distribution of standard components. Due to vast and always available information via Internet, there will be a reduction of the margins in industrial business in the long run. F goal is to compensate this development by own added-value.

By connecting the product segments of powersupplies, display technology (industrial displays incl. controls) and embedded computer technology (Single-board computer) to create an Embedded Solution System, FORTEC possesses for a long time now a very attractive rare domain.

Marketing starts with delivery of system-proved and tested standard kits, accompanied by customers' service in hard- and software at the sale of standard units and ends in customer specific developments.

Target customers are mainly manufacturers in the field of industry automation, medicine technology as well as providers of security instruments.

Our big competence is to provide technology know-how in combination with sales at site. Years of business relations to some thousand customers are the basis of our success. Our core countries namely Germany, Austria and Switzerland still offer considerable potential although already reached leadership in some market segments. Moreover, we are represented in the Benelux by a 25% participation in an electronic company.

Our strategy is to continuously achieve over-proportional profits of market segments in a long-term still considerably growing market. The basis of our steady successful expansion politics - also in the past – is: secured profitability.

Risk management and report.

Risks that could endanger the company at present are not reported.

Balance risks if any at balance day have been considered by corresponding accruals. The company has taken care of all possibilities to deal with any possible risks.

Elementary risks are covered by considerable insurances and are yearly examined; in special cases it may not be sufficient.

Potential risks which have to be taken into consideration to exist within the market are the risks for distribution, products and marketing as well as the dependency from suppliers.

Another enormous - yet not to be underestimated - is the system-related risk of the close co-operation with only few strategic partners in the same product portfolio. Already a change in personnel could lead to the loss of an existent and successful business co-operation and this mainly in view of suppliers in the Far East with whom there are often relationships for many years and of personal matter.

A considerable risk is forecast of stock. Wrong planning could result in considerable losses. The risk to have unsellable merchandise on stock, is not only the result of false forecast, but also depends on the different quality standards set by customers and producers. Mainly the fact of the configuration of the merchandise especially from Far East as well as the political requirements of its contents and its usage.

The product liability is an increasing risk which is controlled and noted by choice of suppliers and their valuations/ratings. However, having different quality standards, frauds and/or criminal actions of suppliers, we as importer are liable towards our customers.

A yet steady growing risk is the customer's requirements as to a prolonged time of warranty and "must" of proof for the supplier according to the regulation of liability for debt in 2002 in case of warranty. In addition and since that time, the costs for build-in and build-out of defective parts are to be reimbursed to the customer - costs which in total may accelerate considerably the delivered value of the product. Here, the customers started to develop a certain aggressiveness for claims which is obviously against and at expenses of the supplier.

Another main topic of the risk management is the often bad payment behaviour of some middle-sized companies. Here, examination of solvency as well as current debtors is made, yet observing mainly the requirements of the goods' insurance company.

Our success also strongly depends on the vast, detailed and years of experience of our personnel. A big change in staff and especially of key-persons would definitely endanger our current success.

A big question would endanger our business model as importer of technical highquality products i.e. the change in customers' behaviour to no longer produce in Middle Europe and turn to suppliers at site. In the future, the same effect would be a changed behaviour or our suppliers to sell directly to industrial customers and not any more through their common distribution channels. In addition, similar effects could happen if the costs decrease because of the reduction of margins due to the competitor's information available to all customers via internet. This basically influences as well the personnel costs common in the German speaking region.

Due to the EDP – networking of the entire group, a break-down or a serious interference in the computer system could cause enormous damage to the company. A misuse by externals or internals, especially theft of information, business interruptions or IT – system breakouts or insufficient means for data security could endanger the company to an extreme extent.

Because of monthly statements, it is possible to recognize in-time differences in the forecast of order income, bookings, stock as well as turnover, margins and costs and thus take immediate action.

Foreign currency risks are excluded, if possible, in case of larger project by invoicing directly in the relevant currency. However, there could be negative impulses on our company in normal business especially due to a further change of the dollar parity.

The growth strategy of the group does not only involve organic increase but also company acquisitions. Here, the figure above the net asset value is balanced as goodwill and examined year by year as to the recoverability. If the expectations of the purchased company are not met, then depreciations in the group's balance made as per IFRS are done. The need to depreciate can also be effected due to changed regulations IFRS, resulting in a changed procedure of rating of goodwill. In this respect, beginning January 2009 there could be changes due to the introduction of IFRS 8 instead of the previous valid IFRS 14 which will determinate the procedure of the impairment test.

Expectations

As supplier to the industry of investment goods, we also have to deal with its ups and downs.

Since spring 2004, the electronic industry is again growing in cycles. After a slowly hesitating industrial recession in Middle Europe in fiscal year 2004/05 - mainly based on export business – also F noted a self-yielding economic situation. This was basically defined by national demand – thus booking a major order of more than 5 million EUR and thus increasing our turnover to almost 30% in FY 2005/06. Although being below the turnover figures of the previous year, also FY 2006/07 will continue to boom – even not taking into consideration this one-time major order income.

We believe, that the peak of this cycle will reveal in FY 2007/08. Therefore, we expect a kind of side-oriented phase of the group's turnover striving to a rather strong pressure on margins. Although the positive tailwind of the economy in the investment industry will slow down, we still expect an acceptable business result for share owners in the future.

For more than 20 years – without any exceptions – we have made profit year by year based on our business philosophy.

Annex FORTEC Elektronik AG for Business Year 2006/07

1) General Information

FORTEC Elektronik AG issues a group's final report according to § 315 a of HGB and according to the current valid regulations of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as recommended in the EU taking into consideration all standards at balancing date.

Besides the parent company, this group report includes the German subsidiaries of Blum Stromversorgungen GmbH/Thannhausen, Emtron electronics GmbH/ Nauheim, Rotec technology GmbH/Rastatt and nbn Systemkomponenten / Herrsching as well as the Swiss Altrac AG/Dietikon. The reports of each subsidiary are dated at the day of issue of the group's report, being examined and certified by independent financial auditors with unlimited comments.

The year's report of the FORTEC AG as well as of the group was issued in EUR.

The consolidated balance sheet as well as the income statement is made according to the total cost procedure.

In order to improve clear understanding, some items in the consolidated balance sheet and in the income statement as well as in the balance are summarized; they are explained in detail in the annex.

Tie group's report issue requires a variety of expectations and estimations from the management. Thus, it may occur that there are differences in the figures of the group's report and the actual results.

2) Balancing and Evaluation Principles.

Intangible assets (without goodwill) as well as tangible assets are calculated according to purchase cost minimized by the accumulated depreciation and being depreciated according to plan for the period of use. This period is said to be 3-5 years for software, 10 years for company building, for vehicles 3-6 years, for tools and equipment 4 years, for office equipment 3-5 years and for other company and business equipment 4 -10 years. Costs of repair are calculated according to FORTEC Elektronik AG's expense. At day of balance the achieved proceeds from the equipment assets were not below the book value. As depreciation method, only linear depreciation is used. Incomes are depreciated according to "pro rata temporis"; minor cost merchandise is depreciated for 5 years.

The financial asset is evaluated "fair- value" at the group's balance day. Changes in value compared to previous year are taken into consideration at own capital. Assets of financial investments are classified as "available-for-sale".

The stocks asset is evaluated to purchase costs plus additional costs and minus discount. As concerns price alterations, only mixed prices are changed accordingly. Therefore, the average method was used; the lowest value principle was observed. If the net sales value was below purchase cost, the lower net sales value was used. Financing costs are not activated.

Obligations from deliveries, services and others are evaluated as to their nominal amount. Necessary value corrections were done right away. Individual debitors risks were separately evaluated.

The evaluation of fluids is done by their net value.

Taken into consideration the necessary caution, reserves of these amounts which the company might have to deal with were not made. It was not required to calculate interests. Therefore, no explanation according to § 285 No. 12 HBG is necessary.

FORTEC Elektronik AG and its group did not need to make pension reserves.

Obligations with return payment were made. As per balance day, there were no obligations with a remaining period of more than 5 years. The obligations are assured accordingly.

Deferred taxes were made as concerns the group's result according to IAS. Achieved higher taxes and the different tax amount will be reduced in future business years. When making reserves for taxes (IAS 12), the future average tax amount (KSt, SolZ and GewSt) was calculated by 38 % (prev.year 38%). Balancing of tax return claims and tax debts was not made in the amount of TEUR 1.

Currency exchange rates as per balance day were made at daily rate although being above purchase cost and the consequences taken.

The report of the Swiss company AltracAG is calculated according to IAS 21 of functional currency into EURO. The valid currency for Altrac AG is the country's currency, as the company is considered independent financially, economically and logistically.

At groups' balance all considerable balance data – based on exchange rates – were calculated at daily rate of the balance day

At group's balance, expense reserves according to IAS/IFRS were not made.

Returns – whenever payment date was – were recorded. They will be evaluated according to its date for payment; taxes will be calculated proportionally at time.

Other capital costs made during business year were recorded as expense.

Regulations in structure remain same as previous year. Short-term means assets and obligations if due within one year. Accounts receivables from deliveries, service and others are in general considered short-term. Deferred claims on tax and/or obligations are recorded long-term.

3) Consolidation

The group's balance is made by FORTEC Elektronik AG together with four active national and one non-active company as well as one foreign company having the majority of the votes. Thus all subsidiaries were consolidated. As FORTEC Elektronik AG holding the entire capital of all subsidiaries, there are no minority shares.

*Note: Rotec technology GmbH was founded by FORTEC AG on 2.7.03.

The day of issue of all separate reports of all group members/subsidiaries is date of the group's report (30.06.2007).

Altrac AG made its annual report in Swiss Franks. The year's result as per 30.06.2007 is converted in EUR according to IAS 21 and the concept of functional currency.

At balance day, FORTEC holds 25% of the capital stock of Advantec Electronics B.V. Oudenbosch (NL) as well as 25% of Advantec B.V., Oudenbosch (NL). The companies are no subsidiaries in terms of IAS 27.13, as there is no command/control function. Besides Advantec Electronics B.V. and Advantec B.V. are no associated companies according to IAS 28.2 i.V.m. IAS 28.6, as the indication catalogue of IAS 28.5 is not relevant.

4) Consolidation basics

According to law and regulations, the reports of each company were issued for completion of the group's report in accordance with the valid balancing and evaluation methods of FORTEC Elektronik AG and/or appropriately adapted for consolidation. Similar positions were added together.

Accounts receivables and liabilities within the group were eliminated; hand in hand with successful consolidation, all internal sales and revenues/returns were set against costs and purchases.

5) Capital consolidation

The capital consolidation was made according to IFRS 3 and the benchmark method. Settlement of "fair values" was done with same own capital of each subsidiary of the group's financial statement at date of purchase.

The difference sum of Blum Stromversorgungen GmbH (formerly Microscan Vertriebs GmbH and Powertrade GmbH) accumulates completely towards goodwill because the time values of the acquired values and debts are in conformity with the relevant book values. At Emtron electronic GmbH, the difference sum accumulates to "quiet" reserves at capital assets – namely on corporate income tax and goodwill. At Altrac AG and nbn GmbH there are "quiet" reserves in acquired values and in goodwill.

The differences from capital consolidation – if not applicable to "quiet" reserves – are defined as goodwill in the acquired assets. Goodwill is noted as assets and checked yearly by impairment test. Every reduction in value is immediately and successfully noted.

Detailed information as to "Balancing"

According to IAS 1, the group's balance is listed into long- and short-term assets. Assets and liabilities are considered short-term if they are due within one year. According to IAS 12, deferred taxes are long-term assets and liabilities.

6) Goodwill

The listed goodwill results from the acquisition of the subsidiaries Altrac AG, Blum Stromversorgungen GmbH, Emtron electronic GmbH as well as nbn Systemkomponenten GmbH. The subsidiaries each are independent units creating payments the amount of which is recorded on basis of the use-value. Schedule for this cash-flow plan is 5 years; for the years 6 ff., the concept of "eternal pension" is used; the interest rate is 8%.

Inspite of the planed depreciation of goodwill resulting from capital consolidation, a lower value based on impairment test is determined. Here, the net bookings of the company's values expected on intermediate term are opposed to the discounted payments; discount rate is 8%. As the discounted payments exceed the bookings of the company's values, no exceptional depreciations of company's values were necessary.

The book value of goodwill amounts to Euro 4.485.708,73 (prev.year 4.729.507,46) as per 30.06.2007.

The goodwill difference to previous year amount to TEUR 184 and is based on the exchange rate reduction of the Swiss Frank compared to last year. This also in view of the participation rate of Altrac AG amounting to TEUR 60 due to the acquisition of nbn GmbH and its purchase price payment. This acquisition made in 2004 was finalized in January 2007.

7) Intangible and Tangible Assets

The development of asset at historical purchase costs and depreciation in business year are to be seen in the "consolidated gross fixed assets movement".

Intangible and tangible assets are reduced to purchase costs for in-time depreciation. Exclusively linear depreciations were made; low value industrial goods are depreciated linearly over 5 years.

Depreciations an intangible and tangible assets are considered in the "consolidated income statement" under no. 6 depreciations.

In the "consolidated gross fixed assets movement" an additional column "differences in currency exchange rates" was added. Here, the differences in assets of Altrac AG are liste4d based on exchange differences at balance day of this independent foreign company.

13) Capital Stock

The capital stock of FORTEC Elektronik AG at balance day amounts to EUR 2.954.943,--. The companies' shares are divided into 2.954.943,-- non-value shares (No. 577410/ISIN DE 0005774103). Each share is worth EUR 1,-- of the basic capital.

On occasion of the annual general meeting on 20.12.2001, decision was made for a confirmed capital of EUR 900.000,00. Thus, the members of the board are entitled – in agreement with the committed management – to raise the basic capital once or in parts by releasing new shares up o 01.12.2006. This capital was never used and therefore is null and void as per 01.12.2006.

The pendant capital as per annual general meeting on December 12, 1996 in the amount of EUR 900.000 was exclusively used to assure option rights in business year 1998/99.

The price was EUR 45,-- (before share split) per share as option right. The given shares were valid until 15 March 2007 since the opening exchange rate (XETRA) of FORTEC Elektronik AG share will now be above EUR 15,-- at least 10 trade days before 22 January. The company has raised its capital by EUR 134.943,-- nominal incl. Agio by EUR 2.024.145 due to these option rights

At the annual general meeting of 14 Dec. 2000 the board of directors was entitled – in agreement with the committee and the members of the board – to release one-time or else up to 90.000 option rights to employees/worker of related companies, board members and members of the management of related companies.

On November 15, 2004, 40.000 option shares at a basis price of EUR 24,22 were handed out. The option rights have been completely carried out in February 2007. Thus, the company raised its capital by EUR 120.000; there has been an income to the company of EUR 968.800 incl. Agio.

Other accruals were listed according to IAS 37 in consideration of all foreseeable liabilities with their scheduled maturity. Interest was not discounted.

Therefore, short-term reserves mainly comprise long-term reserves for warranties (TEUR 579; prev.year TEUR 684). There were only short-term liabilities and no long-term. The long-term reserves of last year were changed into short-term since their validitiy was less than 1 year; no refund expected.

The tax liabilities amount to EUR 470.242,03 of current business year.

Among other liabilities are listed so-called limited accruals amounting to TEUR 842 (prev.year TEUR 823), which according to HGB are "reserves" but according to IFRS are liabilities. In general, these are liabilities against personnel (TEUR 634, prev.year TEUR 617) as well as year's end costs (TEUR 141; prev.year TEUR 150). Previous years figures were adjusted accordingly.

Liabilities of more than 5 years are not listed. All liabilities have a maturity of less than 1 year.

17) Passive Deferred Taxes

The defining of deferred taxes is done according to the "temporary-concept" of IAS 12 as regards balancing differences and evaluation differences as well as consolidation measures of the related balance and figures according to IFRS. For calculation of deferred tax, legal valid rates valid at terms of realisation at balance day were used.

Calculation of passive deferred taxes (IAS 12) is based upon the average company income tax (church tax, social Fee and trade income tax) of 38 % (prev.year 38%). Calculating deferred tax on profits of Altrac AG (CH), an income tax rate of 25% was taken.

Tax latences due to evaluation differences at following balance positions are seen:

The credit of corporate income tax listed last year as deferred tax (TEUR 197) is now classified as "current tax" according to the new legal regulation of § 37 KStG. Therefore, a regrouping of other assets was necessary.

18) Other Financial Liabilities

Auditors' Report

Based on the group's final balancing I herewith state to have issued to the company the following confirmation as per IDW PS 400:

Bestätigungsvermerk

Ich habe den von der FORTEC Elektronik Aktiengesellschaft aufgestellten Konzernabschluss - bestehend aus Bilanz, Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung, Eigenkapitalveränderungsrechnung, Kapitalflussrechnung und Anhang - sowie den Konzernlagebericht für das Geschäftsjahr vom 1. Juli 2006 bis 30. Juni 2007 geprüft. Die Aufstellung von Konzernabschluss und Konzernlagebericht nach den IFRS, wie sie in der EU anzuwenden sind, und den ergänzend nach § 315 a Abs.1 HGB anzuwendenden handelsrechtlichen Vorschriften liegt in der Verantwortung des Vorstandes der Gesellschaft. Meine Aufgabe ist es, auf der Grundlage der von mir durchgeführten Prüfung eine Beurteilung über den Konzernabschluss und den Konzernlagebericht abzugeben.

Ich habe meine Konzernabschlussprüfung nach § 317 HGB unter Beachtung der vom Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) festgestellten deutschen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung vorgenommen. Danach ist die Prüfung so zu planen und durchzuführen, dass Unrichtigkeiten und Verstöße, die sich auf die Darstellung des durch den Konzernabschluss unter Beachtung der anzuwendenden Rechnungslegungsvorschriften und durch den Konzernlagebericht vermittelten Bildes der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage wesentlich auswirken, mit hinreichender Sicherheit erkannt werden. Bei der Festlegung der Prüfungshandlungen werden die Kenntnisse über die Geschäftstätigkeit und über das wirtschaftliche und rechtliche Umfeld des Konzerns sowie die Erwartungen über mögliche Fehler berücksichtigt. Im Rahmen der Prüfung werden die Wirksamkeit des rechnungslegungsbezogenen internen Kontrollsystems sowie Nachweise für die Angaben im Konzernabschluss und Konzernlagebericht überwiegend auf der Basis von Stichproben beurteilt. Die Prüfung umfasst die Beurteilung der Jahresabschlüsse der in den Konzernabschluss einbezogenen Unternehmen, der Abgrenzung des Konsolidierungskreises, der angewandten Bilanzierungs- und Konsolidierungsgrundsätze und der wesentlichen Einschätzungen der gesetzlichen Vertreter sowie die Würdigung der Gesamtdarstellung des Konzernabschlusses und des Konzernlageberichts. Ich bin der Auffassung, dass meine Prüfung eine hinreichend sichere Grundlage für meine Beurteilung bildet.

Meine Prüfung hat zu keinen Einwendungen geführt.

Nach meiner Beurteilung auf Grund der bei der Prüfung gewonnenen Erkenntnisse entspricht der Konzernabschluss den IFRS, wie sie in der EU anzuwenden sind, und den ergänzend nach § 315 a Abs. 1 HGB anzuwendenden handelsrechtlichen Vorschriften und vermittelt unter Beachtung dieser Regelungen ein den tatsächlichen Verhältnissen entsprechendes Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage.

Der Konzernlagebericht steht im Einklang mit dem Konzernabschluss, vermittelt insgesamt ein zutreffendes Bild von der Lage des Konzerns und stellt die Chancen und Risiken der zukünftigen Entwicklung zutreffend dar.
