Approximately one year ago, at the Annual General Meeting that took place on March 18 2005, the shareholders resolved the Company's new start as Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG. As a result, you hold the first Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG Q1-Report for the financial year in hand. In our Annual Report 2005 presented to you in March 2006, we were already able to report the precedent year's success of our business model. As of the first quarter, the operative figures stood strongly under the influence of this past hard winter, cold weather and heavy snowfall impeded the erection of photovoltaic-facilities. In accordance with IFRS, the Company was able to achieve sales revenue of 11.12 million EUR during the period from January 1 to March 31 2006, which also confirmed our cautious plan estimate for this period.
Of course the relatively weak contribution of turnover during the first quarter of the year, as usual in a line of business, had impact on Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG's earnings, which with an EBIT of -0.16 million EUR, did not turn out positively. However, in the first quarter of 2006, further adjustments have been made to the Company's position of points, ensuring its successful future. Besides the build-up of our basis comprised of qualified staff members and significant investments for the expansion of our operative business, we have particularly utilized the time to create the prerequisites for further growth through, amongst other things, the closings of long-termed module supply contracts. In addition, we continued the build up of our activities in Spain and China and once again increased our volume of orders. Thus, we are able to draw a positive interim balance, in view of the fact that the Company is moving in the right direction in realizing its objectives for the financial year of 2006.
In the future, we have much planned and are convinced, that you, as a current or future shareholder, will be delighted with your investment.
With the very best regards,
Martin Schulz-Colmant Patrick Arndt Spokesman of the Executive Board Executive Board


Our stock has positively developed in the first three months of 2006 with an increase from 14.23 EUR at the beginning of the year to 21.60 EUR at the end of the quarter. Particularly eye-catching was the rapid stock price's growth after the market received the announcement on February 21 2006 concerning the interim operative figures for 2005 and the positive outlook for the coming financial year.
In comparison to the Prime IG Renewable Energy Index, which gained 68percent in Q1 2006, the price increase of our stock was somewhat smaller. Whilst reflecting upon the impressing outperformance of our stock during the past periods, we are very content nevertheless.
An impressing increase can be also registered in the turnover of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG's shares in the first quarter of 2006, with almost 3.6 million EUR of handled shares that followed 3.2 million EUR in the fourth quarter of 2005. In this case, a further increase of interest by investors in Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy has been reflected. With the switch to the Prime Standard of the German Stock Exchange on April 21 2006, the cornerstone was also laid to enhance the name recognition on the market in the future. Glances at comparable enterprise evaluations show that the considerable potential for our stock remains unaltered.
The relevance of renewable energy remains unbowed in 2006. The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) has currently identified that in 2005, 645 MWp solar modules were installed in the European Union (EU), hereof 600 MWp (93 percent) alone in Germany. After noting 645 MWp Europe-wide in 2004, this was an increase of 18.3 percent. Thereby, the grid-connected market dominates in the field of application with over 98 percent. As in the past, this growth was restricted by the supply of silicon and thus by the modules. Spain was the second largest market with 20.2 MWp, followed by France with 6.3 MWp and Italy with 5 MWp*. Even in other countries, particularly the USA being a step ahead, the awareness of the energy supply problem is increasing and thus, the demand of renewable energy. In this case, the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) serves as a model, which is being introduced in comparable forms in many other countries. Of late, the Renewable Energy Act has again been confirmed in Germany: In his status report concerning "Energy Supply for Germany" (Energieversorgung für Deutschland) the Federal Minister for Environment, Mr. Sigmar Gabriel, recently referred to the fact that as of 2020, 25 percent of Germany's electricity can be supplied by renewable energy. According to this status report, the minimum target anchored in the German Renewable Energy Act of a 20 percent renewable energy share in 2020, can clearly be exceeded. The boom of demand in the field of renewable energy has remained unbowed. The photovoltaic industry's order books are still brimming.
However, at the same time, Germany experienced an extremely snowy and long-lasting winter during the first quarter of 2006. The bad weather conditions strongly influenced the usually weakest first quarter of a year for the photovoltaic industry. The majority of all photovoltaic projects in the German area had to be postponed to the second quarter, especially due to the cold and snow loads on the roofs.

"The cold weather has unusually strongly slowed down the German economic growth in the first quarter" Reuters Deutschland, 05/23/06
In the first quarter of the financial year of 2006, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG's business development was strongly coined by dominating bad weather. Compared to the previous quarter, the cold weather that led to a significant decrease of the national construction investments also made it impossible to work on several RPSE-Projects. Snowfall and very low temperatures hindered the erection of photovoltaic facilities, individual rooftop constructions were impossible to work on, right up to the middle of March. Due to low expectations in the first quarter, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG's planning estimates were cautiously assessed. Under these circumstances, the targeted turnover could only be slightly exceeded. The Company turned over sales revenue of 11.11 million EUR in the first three months of the financial year 2006. Through the economic new foundation of the Company in the preceding year, a comparison of first quarter operative figures with the respective previous year's values is not expedient. Compared to fourth quarter 2005 sales revenue (25.53 million EUR); this is equivalent to a decrease of 14.41 million EUR. Turnover declines during the year's first quarter compared to the previous quarter are customary in the line of business. Besides weather influences, they are also based on the fact, amongst other things, that photovoltaic facilities whose mains connections were effected in 2006, are inferior to facilities taken into operation in 2005 through a future reduced annual individual feeder remuneration per kWh. However, the respective decreased minimum remuneration applies as of initial operation and unaltered for the entire period of conveyance.
The RPSE-Group, with its EBIT of -0.16 million EUR in the first quarter of the financial year, was unable to achieve a positive result on the yield side. The result was particularly coined by the reduced volume of turnover, which was not sufficient to be able to balance out the liabilities entered for the realization of the RPSE's commitments concerning its objectives of growth. However, the effected increased numbers of qualified employees as well as the expenditures for the expansion of business operations are the cornerstones for the fulfillment of the expectations placed on the current financial year of 2006.
As a system provider of photovoltaic facilities as well as project developer, RPSE plans, delivers and installs photovoltaic facilities. These activities belong to the "Projects" segment.
With external sales amounting to 7.71 million EUR, the "Projects" segment's share in the first quarter of the financial year amounted to 69percent of the total company turnover. Particularly the final invoice for the last phase of construction during the Gescher thin layer-project substantially contributed to the noted turnover. For "Projects", the segment's earnings before taxes lay at - 0.13 million EUR, which result from the cost basis not being covered by the limited project sales. For the achievement of the growth objectives during the current financial year, the personnel basis has noticeably been reinforced by further qualified employees, amongst other things. The personnel costs as well as the remaining expenditures for business expansion, e.g. the relocation in a new warehouse are thus investments in a successful financial year 2006. In the segment of "Trade", in which the company's departments for procurement and sales of photovoltaic modules and components are comprised, external sales of 3.41 million EUR or 31percent of the company's turnover has been achieved in the first quarter 2006. In this case as well, negative segment earnings of -0.10 million EUR were attained. In the segment of "Trade" the costs once again include significant investments for the future, e.g. for the expansion of the Company's presence within China.
Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG took consequent advantage of the first quarter and sustainably enlarged its position within the procurement market. At the end of the first quarter 2006, the Company was able close several master supply agreements for lengthier periods of up to the year 2011 and thus is in an outstanding purchasing situation. These agreements once again confirm the existing good contacts and supplier relationships to renowned module manufacturers in Asia and the US. In addition, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG has additionally expanded its position as a system integrator in the innovative field of thin film technology, allowing for further volume increases of thin film projects orders. On the trade side, the Company has been able to record initial success on the Spanish market: In the first quarter, delivery agreements for photovoltaic modules have already been closed for Spain with a scope of 600 kWp.
Through our subsidiary Maass Regenerative Energien GmbH, we were able to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with China's larges photovoltaic manufacturer, Baoding Tianwei Yingly. Based on existing delivery agreements, the relationship between both companies will be extended up to 2010. It has been agreed upon, that additional module capacities of 162 mega watt will be supplied to Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy-Group during the next five years. The siliconmodules from Baoding Tianwei Yingli are partially intended for delivery to other European foreign markets. First target is Spain, where the Company established a subsidiary last year.
On March 28 2006, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG and the largest Thai thin film module manufacturer, Bangkok Solar, have expanded their existing collaboration through a master agreement concerning the supply of more than 150 MWp. The volume of module supply agreed upon, such as practically all trade volumes, will be ordered through the subsidiary Maass Regenerative Energien GmbH in Wesel/Germany and is intended for the period from 2007 up to the end of 2010. The supply relationship between the Thai company and Maass GmbH exists since 2004.
The spring season and better weather conditions shall allow the speedy reduction of the order backlog, which arose during the first quarter 2006. New projects are already in the making. Due to very high order volumes and our excellent position in the procurement market, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG's Executive Board is convinced that a growth in turnover of over 100percent and further earning increases will be achieved in 2006.
On April 10 2006, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG closed a further master agreement with First Solar, the largest US-American manufacturer of thin film modules. Based on the existing contractual relationship, the supply of very comprehensive contingents up to 2011 has been agreed. This makes Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG one of the US-American company's most significant European customers.
Through the above mentioned closed master supply agreements, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG was able to generate further turnover potential of over 900 million EUR for the coming years and therefore on April 06 2006, revised its turnover and earning targets clearly upwards.
On April 06 2006, the Company's Executive Board announced the emission of a convertible bond with subscription rights covering an emission volume of up to 30 million EUR. It is planned, amongst other things, to ensure funds through the convertible bond for the pre-financing of the above mentioned module deliveries. In addition, the Company's international expansion will be accelerated through the proceeds and the Company's growth strengthened through acquisitions. Details concerning the convertible bonds were publicly communicated on April 18 2006.
Since April 21 2006, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG is also listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The Company is thus generating higher attentiveness within the financial market, particularly in the international area.
Last year it was foreseeable that at some stage during the current growth of the Company, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG's premises and thus, room for the e,ployees would not suffice. Therefore, the Company decided to rent new business premises and since the beginning of May 2006, is now located in Hamburg at its new address (Grosse Elbstrasse 45 in D-22767 Hamburg).
On May 19 2006, the Company invited its shareholders to the Annual General Meeting in Hamburg. Besides its successful annual statement for 2005, the Executive Board was also able to present outstanding outlooks for the future of RPSE AG. Approximately 120 attending shareholders were satisfied with the Executive and Supervisory Board's work and voted for the discharge of the past financial year. Besides that, each further resolution, amongst other things the creation of new authorized capital, were almost unanimously adopted.
Since publication of the Annual Report 2005 on March 28 2006, no further new, significant risks have arisen during the first quarter 2006. The detailed presentation of substantial risks for the Company can be found in the Annual Report on page 32 and 33.
In Q2 2006, a complaint was filed in mid May 2006 against Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG before the District Court of Hamburg. The plaintiff is Meridian Solare Energieprojekte GmbH in Hildburghausen. From assigned right, they asserted a claim of 100,000.00 EUR. According to the statement of claim, it concerns a partial sum of an alleged claim for indemnification totaling approximately 8.45 million EUR. The Company could be confronted with a significant claim for indemnification connected with the earlier agreed contribution of Meridian Solare Energieprojekte GmbH. The claim for indemnity is diverted from a lost stock price gain of the Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG shares. The statement of defense is currently being prepared by the Company's attorneys. Both the Executive Board as well as the Supervisory Board is of the opinion, that the complaint is unjustified. The District Court of Hamburg has ordered written preliminary proceedings.

As of March 31, 2006, the shortend Interim Consolidated Financial Statement (CFS) of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG in Hamburg (hereafter abbreviated as "RPSE AG" or in connection with the Group "RPSE group") has been adopted and publicized in congruence with the International Account Standard Board (IASB) and prepared pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as its interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
The statement in hand concerns a shortened interim CFS for the Period between January 1 and March 31, 2006, with comparative figures for the period between January 1 and December 31, 2005, respectively with comparative figures for the record date of the balance sheet on December 31, 2006.
The previous year's figures, as of March 31, 2005, concern the interim financial statement of the BK Grundbesitz & Beteiligungs AG in Munich. A corporate group did not exist at that point in time and in this respect, the Interim and and Consolidated Financial Statements concurred. BK Grundbesitz & Beteiligungs AG are the same. In the Annual General Meeting on March 18, 2005, a Resolution of Continuance was decided upon for the company. Simultaneously, Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy was re-named and the company's headquarters relocated to Hamburg.
The statement at hand excludes certain explanatory notes required according to IFRS.
The consolidated accounts are outlined in accordance with maturities. The cost-categories-oriented form was chosen for the company profit and loss statement. The group reporting currency is the Euro (EUR). For the reason of simplification, thousand Euros are reported as TEUR.
Details concerning the individual reporting and evaluation principles of the Company shall be referred to in RPSE AG's publicized annual statement for the financial year of 2005, which is either available as a download at www.rpse.de or upon your written request to the above mentioned address. No alterations concerning the reporting and evaluation principles took place in the financial year of 2006.
In the interim CFS as of March 31, 2006, all companies are included, of which RPSE AG has the direct or indirect majority of votes. The companies have been included in the CFS in the period where RPSE AG achieved the possibility of control. From the company's point of view, the subsidiary companies are of minor significance and will be balanced as financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39.
Besides the parent company RPSE AG, the following subsidiary companies have been included in the interim CFS as of March 31, 2005, in the course of the full consolidation:
| Share | |
|---|---|
| % | |
| Reinecke + Pohl Solare Energien GmbH in Hamburg | 100 |
| Nastro-Umwelttechnik GmbH in Meppen | 100 |
| Maaß Regenerative Energien GmbH in Wesel | 100 |
In addition, the wholly owned subsidiary companies Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy LLC in Portland/OR, USA, and Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy España S.L. in Madrid, Spain, and the contractually justified but under corporate law not yet legal holding of 30 procent of the capital share of Shanghai Prim-Sola Energy Technology Co. Ltd. in Shanghai, China, have been included neither as affiliated company in the Interim CFS nor in course of full consolidation, due to minor significance.
As of March 31, 2006, a 10 procent-share of BK Bau und Grund GmbH i.L. in Munich also exists. Due to the intended sale of the shares, which have already been completely written-off, the information is shown under long-term assets available-for-sale.
