SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Lifts Forecasts for Blu-ray Order Intake for 2008

• 21 Blu-ray lines already ordered in the 1st quarter

• Blu-ray: forecast of about 30 orders in 2008

• MediaTech highlights positive outlook for Blu-ray

Kahl am Main, May 8, 2008. SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES (SINGULUS) received
numerous orders for Blu-ray lines from Europe and Asia in the 1st quarter
2008. A first major order for Blu-ray was also received from the US in the
1st quarter. These new orders confirm SINGULUS’ expectations with regards
to growth of the Blu-ray market. Since the settlement of the format dispute
at the beginning of January 2008 and with the strategic acquisition of the
Blu-ray Disc equipment operations from OERLIKON on January 31, 2008
SINGULUS has further improved its position for Blu-ray Disc.

Due to these favorable trends SINGULUS lifts its own order forecast from 20
Blu-ray machines to about 30 machines for 2008. For the Blu-ray segment a
market share of more than 65 % is targeted.

The MediaTech Expo 2008, the largest trade fair for the optical disc
industry worldwide, which is currently taking place in Frankfurt, is
predominantly devoted to Blu-ray. The positive expectations for Blu-ray
were underlined by the leading market research institutes.
