Executive Board: Thorsten Preugschas and Henrik Christiansen
Dear Shareholders Dear Sir or Madam.
The third quarter of 2008 was characterized by the global financial crisis, which led to a significant slowdown in the overall economic growth. This development did not leave the solar energy market unscathed. Given these difficult conditions, we are all the more happy to present this Q3 report as testament to the ongoing positive development of the COLEXON group.
During the first nine months of the financial year 2008, COLEXON almost doubled its turnover to EUR 98.5 million. The growth in earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) was even more impressive. It quadrupled from EUR 1.5 million in the first three quarters of the previous year to EUR 6.9 million in 2008. These positive figures show that despite of the current uncertainty in the market COLEXON remains solidly positioned and can look optimistically into the future.
The European solar market is undergoing a crucial period of change. Following the amendment to the Renewable Energies Law (EEG), the German feed-in tariff will be reduced by eight percent in 2009 and nine percent in the following years. At the same time, new markets such as France, Italy and the Czech Republic, which are still in the early stages of their development, are increasingly catching attention of the solar power industry. COLEXONs internationally focused corporate strategy and streamlined organisational structures put the company in an optimal position to cope with these challenges. For example, during the third quarter, COLEXON erected South Korea's first thin-film installation consisting of First Solar modules. In Germany, COLEXON is currently building the world's largest rooftop PV system of thin-film modules with a total capacity of 4.64 MWp which is located in Hassleben, Brandenburg. Again we set an international benchmark in the photovoltaic market and strengthen our position as a leading system integrator and project developer for thin film solar power plants.
These company landmarks can also be linked to new faces in our management team. Henrik Christiansen was appointed the company's new CFO in October this year, succeeding Dr Volker Wingefeld. Mr. Christiansen has been working for COLEXON since April 2008. Before joining the company he held top financial positions at various national and international listed companies. Tom Larson, CFO of Denmark's Renewagy A/S, is the new chairman of COLEXONs supervisory board and takes over the position of Dr. Hans-Joachim Reh.
With the new management team we see our company on a good track to effectively meet the current and future market challenges and to ensure a successful and sustainable future development. Our strategy paper "Change COLEXON 2012" serves as an important example for this positive development. The strategic measures are already being implemented and will be consistently pushed forward.
With best regards
Thorsten Preugschas Henrik Christiansen
HASSLEBEN - 4.64 MWP
Hassleben - currently world's largest rooftop solar power plant with thin film technology, module delivery via helicopter
With the construction of the 4.64 MWp rooftop solar power plant made from thin film modules in Hassleben, Brandenburg (Germany), COLEXON has this year broken the world record in this segment for the third time in a row. In 2006 and 2007, COLEXON had already set two records for the world's largest rooftop installations consisting of thin film modules: The Gescher project (2006) with a capacity of 1.4 MWp and the Ramstein project (2007) with a capacity of 2.5 MWp.
The installation in Hassleben, which represents an investment volume of an EUR 17.5 million, is scheduled to get connected to the grid in December this year. At the end of August the first of four sections was put into operation, following a three-month construction period. For reasons of cost and efficiency, 10,000 of the total 64,000 modules to be installed were lifted to the roof by transport helicopter. With a roof area of approximately 224,000 sqm, this unusual method of delivering the modules made enormous time savings possible. By selectively outsourcing the assembly work, COLEXON has ensured the quick completion of this flagship project by year-end and again bolstered its position as a leading project developer in the field of rooftop PV systems.
DongNam - currently largest building-integrated photovoltaics system in South Korea with a total capacity of 607.5 kWp
COLEXON achieved a world record during the third quarter: In Seoul, South Korea, the company constructed the country's largest building-integrated photovoltaics system (BIPV), with a total capacity of 607.5 kWp. Its contractual partner is LG Chem, South Korea's largest chemicals company. SH Corporation, one of the country's leading urban development companies, provided the investment. The whole project consists of two installations: One installation (more than 360 kWp) adorns the façade of a shopping centre, while the second (just under 250 kWp) is located in the neighbouring car park. In total, 3,821 modules produced by Schüco, with an overall surface area of 5,095 sqm, were installed.
The project, which was fully completed in August, is scheduled to be networked when the building complex opens in April 2009. This project has strengthened COLEXON's position in the strategically significant South Korean market and further reinforced the Group's international focus.
Haunsfeld - open-area solar park of thin-film modules with a total capacity of 1.67 MWp
At the end of the third quarter, COLEXON entered into contract negotiations regarding the construction of an openarea solar park in Haunsfeld, Bavaria. The general contractor agreement was signed at the beginning of October. The project, which has an output capacity of 1.67 MWp, involves an investment of EUR 5.7 million. The contracted assembly company has installed 22,275 First Solar modules on 495 tables, covering a surface area of just under six hectares. Construction has taken place in two sections and currently is in the final phase. If weather conditions are favourable, the solar park will be connected to the grid in December this year, after less than three months' construction time.
With the construction of this plant, COLEXON has again proved its capabilities as a project developer of open-area plants, in addition to its know-how in the field of rooftop PV plants, and strengthened its position in the open-area market. After completion, the plant will generate 1.82 kWh per year. This will achieve an annual CO2 emissions saving of 2,000 tons.
Keiper Recaro - rooftop solar power plant of mono-crytsalline modules with a total capacity of 609 kWp
COLEXON undertook a particularly demanding rooftop photovoltaic project for the Keiper Recaro Group, a leading manufacturer of standardised high-tech metal components and multi-functional seating structures. Under the construction management of COLEXON, a total of 3,672 mono-crystalline modules made by Yunnan Tianda were installed on the 16,000 sqm roof area of a factory building. Aluminium trays were used as the substructure. To reduce the load on the roof, the trays were fixed to the corrugated sheet metal surfaces of the roof. This innovative anchoring system allows COLEXON to install photovoltaic systems on roofs only capable of taking light loads. The installation was completed on August 28, 2008 and feeds 600 kWh into the public electricity network each year. This corresponds to an estimated CO2 emission saving of just under 650 tons per year.
The German stock market has been exerting pressure on share prices since the beginning of the year. In the period from July to September 2008, shares fell in value across the board on the back of the financial market crisis. The DAX shrank over the period from 6,418 to 5,831 points, a drop of 9 percent. A similar trend is apparent in the average performance of the sector: After reaching 1,305 points at the end of 2007, the Prime IG Renewable Energy Index had fallen to 965 points at the end of the half-year period. By 30 September a decline to 801 points was registered. After the end of the reporting period, the index reached its low point of the year on November 20, descending to 319 points.
During the first half of the year, the COLEXON share was unable to withstand the overall negative market trend and sank along with the other shares in the renewable energy sector. At the start of the third quarter, however, the COLEXON share managed to move slightly against the general market trend. From EUR 6.94 on June 30, 2008, the share rose to EUR 8.80 by the start of September, according to Xetra. By the end of the third quarter, however, the share dipped again, ending September at EUR 5.05. This represents a drop of 27.2 percent during the third quarter. Accordingly, the company's market capitalisation at the end of the quarter had fallen to EUR 25.8 million.
No capital measures were undertaken in the first nine months of the financial year. After the end of the reporting period, the share reached its annual low of EUR 2.95 on October 07, 2008, amid the volatile market performance as a whole. By November 25 this year, the share had recovered by 47.18 percent to EUR 4.34.
Share value of the COLEXON-share Q1-Q3 2008
According to WpHG (Securities Trade Act) announcements, the shareholders' structure of COLEXON on the reporting date, September 30, 2008 was as follows:
Thorsten Preugschas, CEO of the company, holds 3.37 percent, Libra Equity 3.04 percent, and the Danish Renewagy A/S holds 19.43 percent of the shares. The free float is 74.16 percent. Therefore there has been a slight change in the shareholdings of Mr. Preugschas since the half-year report.
The following Directors' Dealings have taken place during the third quarter 2008:
| DAT E |

Following a stable price performance during the first half of 2008, ending July at EUR 19.00, the convertible bond registered steep losses for some of the third quarter. This negative trend persisted until the end of the reporting period. On October 09, the convertible bond was trading at EUR 10.00, its lowest point of the year so far. However, the price quickly recovered and reached EUR 17.00 by November 25.
The bonds yield interest is 3.5 percent of the subscription price of EUR 21.90. In relation to the nominal value of the convertible bond of EUR 10.00, the yield is 7.665 percent. Each bond with a nominal value of EUR 10.00 can be converted into one COLEXON share. The coupon date is May 08 each year. The maturity date of the convertible bond is May 08, 2008. On this date, investors who decide not to convert into shares during the conversion period shall receive a payment of EUR 21.90. The repayment of the convertible bonds is secured with adequate liquid funds. At the same time COLEXON's Board is examining other financing options, including follow-on financing after maturity.
The key role of investor relations during the first nine months of the financial year 2008 was to convince shareholders of the successful performance of COLEXON and the sustainability of the company's growth. During the reporting period, the Board regularly engages in detailed talks with investors and analysts in Germany and abroad. Over the last few months, contact with analysts in particular has been significantly stepped up. In future, the company will endeavour to further increase the transparency of the company and intensify its contact with analysts and shareholders. Our new investor and public relations team underlines our new focus.
The amendment to the Renewable Energies Sources Act (EEG) during the second quarter implies that the German solar market continues to offer attractive investment conditions. Despite the decline in the feed-in tariff for rooftop and freefield projects as of 2009, the German market is set to remain the world's largest photovoltaic market over the medium and long-term for COLEXON. Thanks to its specialisation in profitable thin film technology, COLEXON will continue to offer investors attractive and calculable returns over the long term.
While the legal amendment adopted in Germany restored planning security, the focus of the solar industry increasingly turned towards Spain during the third quarter. At the end of September, the Spanish government finally enacted the royal decree RD 1578/2008, which provides for a significant reduction in the feed-in tariff as of 2009. Therefore the sharp growth of the Spanish market will not continue at the same level in 2009. However, thanks to its streamlined structure and the close collaboration with local subcontractors, COLEXON Iberia is able to react flexibly to new market conditions and is set to continue registering a healthy performance despite the tense situation.
New European markets such as France, Italy and the Czech Republic are attracting greater attention from the solar industry. During the reporting period, the regulatory framework in these markets remained largely unchanged. Nevertheless, the interest in photovoltaic systems is growing palpably here. COLEXON gained a strong foothold in these growth markets during the third quarter and created the structures required to open foreign sites. COLEXON is currently taking the final steps in the foundation of new international subsidiaries in France and the Czech Republic.
Outside of Europe, the US market stands out in particular, owing to its considerable growth potential. Given the rising energy prices, the increase in the planned supportive measures and the possibility of grid parity, experts forecast significant market growth. This forecast was further supported by the election of the new US President, who has already announced his intention to invest USD 150 billion in the development of renewable energies. COLEXON is optimally positioned to benefit from these changes, with its subsidiary in Tempe, Arizona.
On the procurement market, it is noteworthy that demand for thin film modules is still considerably outstripping supply. However, analysts have observed surplus supply for crystalline modules, which will lead to significant price reductions. Existing surplus stocks of crystalline modules will decline in value. Since COLEXON does not have any long-term supply contracts with fixed quotas of crystalline modules, the company can be flexible in its reaction to the price changes.
The solar energy business traditionally experiences a weak first quarter and a strong fourth quarter. COLEXON was already positing above-average performance in the third quarter. To enhance this healthy performance, the corporate strategy has been adapted to the change in market conditions under the mission statement "Change COLEXON 2012", ensuring the company is fit for future challenges.
The key aims of this strategic concept are an increased international focus of the COLEXON Group and greater efficiency of internal company processes. In order to keep up with the dynamic market growth and successfully counter the fiercer competition, the concept of employees at all levels has been underscored. This is not least apparent in the third quarter figures.
The international business of the COLEXON Group also received a substantial boost in the third quarter. International turnover more than doubled in comparison to the same period in the previous year. On September 30, 2008 the international turnover reached EUR 5.8 million. Moreover, the company has gained a solid position in international growth markets such as France, the Czech Republic and Italy, and laid the groundwork to successfully capture the markets.
International expansion is also continuing in a well thought out and controlled manner. COLEXON is relying on streamlined business units, in order to flexibly and quickly react to market developments. COLEXON Iberia S.L. is a prime example of the success of this internationalization strategy. While solar companies with a broader international base have already had to react to the consolidation of the Spanish market with redundancies and profit warnings, COLEXON Iberia, with its streamlined structure and close relationship with local subcontractors, is able to deliver positive figures even in difficult circumstances and continues to look optimistically to the future.
The dynamic development of the photovoltaic market poses particular challenges to the corporate strategy. On the one hand it is necessary to keep pace with the expeditious growth; on the other hand it is essential to form a sustainable corporate development. COLEXON was able to successfully cope with this situation throughout the reported period. Representing this is an EBIT of EUR 6,9 million and an equity ratio of just under 54 percent. In order to meet this claim in the future and to further increase its competitiveness, COLEXON aims at a vertical expansion of its value added chain.
With regard to the financing of large-scale projects, COLEXON has held intensive conversations with banks about the interim financing of solar power plants and set the stage for further cooperation within the reported period. Due to the positive development and to the stabilization of the turnaround, the banks trust in COLEXON grew noticeably. Given a further sustainable growth, the management board is confident to be able to integrate long-term partners for project interim financing.
Long-term assets were down EUR 2,481 on December 31, 2007 reporting date, at TEUR 22,646 on September 30, 2008. Although goodwill remained unchanged at TEUR 16,405 during that time, miscellaneous assets, for example, fell from TEUR 6,077 to TEUR 3,909. This was largely attributable to the reduction of bank deposits.
Conversely, current assets climbed by TEUR 15,607, from TEUR 31,254 to TEUR 46,861. The rise in inventory is largely attributable to the greater stocks of unfinished products and increase in prepayments. The unfinished products largely result from projects that have already begun, where part of the project stocks did not yet fulfill all of the criteria for the percentage-of-completion method under IAS 11 on the reporting date. The prepayments are for projects still in construction. There was a drop in short-term trade receivables to TEUR 1,023 (December 31, 2007: TEUR 3,170). Future receivables from production contracts rose by TEUR 10,573 to TEUR 20,087, the greatest proportion of which was accounted for by the Hassleben project and the Waldeck project portfolio. Cash holdings had declined to TEUR 3,152 by the end of the third quarter (December 31, 2007: TEUR 4,736).
On the liabilities side, long-term debts rose by TEUR 1,788, to a total of TEUR 11,983, owing to the increase in deferred taxes. The bulk of the long-term debts was attributable to the convertible bonds, in the amount of TEUR 10,065 as at the balance sheet date September 30, 2008.
Current liabilities increased by TEUR 7,577 in the first nine months in 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 from TEUR 12,699 to TEUR 20,275. This increase was primarily due to the rise in other provisions by TEUR 3,660 to TEUR 5,788, the increase in advance payments received by TEUR 1,908 to TEUR 3,354 and the rise in other liabilities by TEUR 1,127 to TEUR 3,323. Short-term financial liabilities due to banks fell by TEUR 169 to TEUR 3,129.
At the balance sheet date on September 30, 2008, the company's reported equity capital had risen to TEUR 37,248 (December 31, 2007: TEUR 33,487). The rise resulted from the profits generated by the operational business. With an equity ratio of 53.6 percent, COLEXON Energy AG has a very solid balance sheet structure to finance its further growth.
At the end of the first nine months of 2008, the cashflow from operating activities was TEUR -1,147 (same period the previous year: TEUR -137). The negative cashflow is attributable to the increase in stocks and the rise in future receivables from production contracts. This is attributable to the final invoices for the large-scale Waldeck project. Although this PV plant has already been successfully connected to the grid, the last details still need to be finalised for legal approval to be granted. Investment activities generated a cashflow of TEUR -267 (same period the previous year: TEUR -296). Investments were made in fixed assets and intangible assets in the course of the expansion of the operational business.
The cashflow from financing activities increased over the first nine months of 2008, reaching TEUR -169 (same period the previous year: TEUR -1.631).
In the first nine months of 2008, COLEXON generated a turnover of TEUR 98,496, a rise of 92 percent on the same period last year (TEUR 51,337). 49 percent of turnover was generated in the projects segment and the remaining 51 percent in the distribution segment.
The TEUR 368 increase in stocks of unfinished products compared to the second quarter 2008 primarily resulted from solar projects that had been started by the reporting date, but did not yet fulfill all the criteria for turnover according to the percentage-of-completion method.
Other operating income declined by TEUR -96 compared to the half-year reporting date, to reach TEUR 1,312. This decline is attributable to the reclassification of a delivery of free of charge modules (same period the previous year: TEUR 373).
The substantial contribution to earnings provided by the large-scale Hassleben project boosted gross profit in the third quarter 2008 by TEUR 8,369 to TEUR 18,865 (same period the previous year: TEUR 9,460). This gave rise to a gross profit margin of 19 percent (same period the previous year: 18 percent). Personnel expenses totalled TEUR 4,104 in the nine-month period. The considerable rise in personnel expenses in the third quarter 2008, in the amount of TEUR 1,719, is in particular attributable to a provision formed as a precaution to cover the departure of the CFO. The rise in other operating expenses was disproportionately low compared to turnover, climbing 47 percent to TEUR 7,651. This gave rise to EBIT of TEUR 6,905 in the first nine months of 2008 (same period the previous year: TEUR 1,510), with the EBIT margin rising from 2.9 percent in the same period the previous year to 7.0 percent this year. In the third quarter 2008 only, COLEXON generated EBIT of TEUR 3,941 (same period the previous year: TEUR 763). This was thanks to a significantly improved operational business and an optimised cost basis. The profit for the period rose from TEUR 502 to TEUR 3,671 in the first nine months of 2008. This corresponds to undiluted earnings per share of EUR 0.74 (same period the previous year: EUR 0.10) or diluted earnings per share of EUR 0.47 (same period the previous year: EUR 0.07).
Please refer to the Annual Report 2007 for the company's general opportunities and risks. Over and above this, the following additional risks arose in the third quarter 2008, on the back of the global financial crisis and the change in general regulatory conditions in particular:
The amendment to the Renewable Energies Sources Act (EEG) put an end to the previous persisting legal uncertainty on the German solar market. This reduced a latent risk in the core market of the COLEXON Group. At the same time, sales opportunities, particularly for thin film technology, improved.
The impact of the international financial crisis on the operative business is one of the main focuses of the risk management of the COLEXON Group. With a consequent claims management with an integrated credit rating, risks towards customers are precisely identified and evaluated before contract conclusion. Furthermore final financing for all ongoing projects is existent. Thereby the company is well set for more difficult financing conditions. All together the management board even views the capital market crises in a positive way as it is assumed that substitution effects will emerge from risky industries and will lead to increasing investments in solar power plants due to fixed feed-in tariffs for 20 years and a referring return on investment.
The risk of the rapid expansion of production capacities for crystalline modules for the industry should not be underestimated. Experts predict that supply will outstrip demand at current prices. Consequently, the purchase price for crystalline modules is falling and the surplus stocks are losing in value. Unlike most of its competitors, COLEXON does not have any long-term supply contracts with fixed quotas of crystalline modules. This means the company is able to be flexible in its response to the price developments.
The full assessment shows that the company is well prepared for external risk factors. Current uncertainties appear very limited and transitory.
On October 17, 2008, the three Supervisory Board members Dr. Hans-Joachim Reh, Dr. Karl Freiherr von Hahn and Pieter Wasmuth resigned from the Board. The new Chairman of the Supervisory Boars is Tom Larsen, CFO of Denmark's Renewagy A/S. The successors of the three resigned Supervisory Board members are not currently confirmed, but will be announced shortly. In the meantime, the Supervisory Board continues to have decision-making power, so there will be no negative impact of the ongoing business.
In addition, on October 17, 2008, Henrik Christiansen was appointed as the company's new CFO. He is taking over from Dr. Volker Wingefeld, who left the company on October 31. Mr. Christiansen has been working as head of sales at COLEXON Energy AG since April 2008, and as the new CFO is now responsible for the Finance, Controlling, Human Resources and Risk Management divisions. Mr. Christiansen previously held top positions in the finance departments of national and international groups, including Farmatic Biotech Energy AG in Nortorf and Cleanaway Deutschland AG & Co, and later SULO GmbH, in Hamburg.
Despite of the difficult market conditions the results achieved in Q3 2008 fully meet the expectations of the board and underline the sustainable company growth. It is particularly encouraging that the company has been able to push forward its international expansion and therefore expect a sharp increase in turnover from international business activities. Moreover, the management pushes forward the restructuring of the association to further increase the company's efficiency and profitability. In the medium run the steady restructuring process will help the association to increase its flexibility and overall performance.
With the quadrupling of EBIT and the doubling of the turnover compared to the previous year COLEXON has build a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the company. In view of the very positive business development, the executive board validates its forecast of an annual EBIT of EUR six to eight million and expects to close the financial year 2008 in the upper end of this range. If weather conditions are favourable and the outstanding legal-taking-overprocess progresses quickly, an even higher EBIT would be possible. However, profit forecasts have not been raised for the time being. The Board considers a more conservative stance appropriate in view of the more difficult market conditions.
The Board indicates that, given the dynamic development of the market, future results may differ from current expectations.
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial 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.

Within the framework of calculating the effect on the balance sheet of accounting for convertible bonds, adjustments are required for the initial accounting in the 2006 financial year and the subsequent reports. The adjustments affecting accrued interest, the allocation of the equity and debt ratios, and the recording of transaction costs in 2006 were carried out retrospectively. This also had an impact on the reporting of deferred taxes.
The effects of the adjustment on the items of the consolidated and quarterly accounts are presented below:

With the capital contribution agreement of February 01, 2005, the shareholders of Reinecke + Pohl Solare Energien GmbH contributed all shares in the company to COLEXON Energy AG (at the time Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG) by means of a payment to capital reserves. At the time, the shareholders of Reinecke + Pohl Solare Energien GmbH were relatively the same as those of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG. In order to establish the acquisition cost of the contribution, goodwill was calculated and accounted for on the basis of an expert valuation of the company. At the time of the contribution, COLEXON Energy AG was a new company as defined in IFRS 3.22. The contribution should therefore have taken place without accounting for any goodwill. The adjustment required is shown below:

All of the above quoted receivables and liabilities are short term. In addition to the subsidiary companies included in the consolidated accounts, COLEXON Energy AG also deals with affiliated persons and companies in the normal course of business.
The normal course of business includes all transactions of goods and services with affiliated persons that were conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions that are usual to the market, as they would have been with nonaffiliated third parties.
The goods and services supplied to companies with significant influence relate to the installation of large-scale projects. The receivables are future receivables from production orders. The payments received relate to the installation of large-scale projects.
The goods and services supplied to a member of the Executive Board relate to privately acquired solar power installations. The receivables largely consist of interest on earlier receivables from an Executive Board member and insignificant expenses for both Board members. Under the terms of a comparable agreement between a member of the Executive Board and the company's Supervisory Board, a receivable entered in the balance sheet was adjusted by TEUR 314. The receivable largely resulted from the breach of earnings guarantees in regard to the contribution of company shares in the former Maaß Regenerative-Energien GmbH. As agreed, securities have been fully put in place for the remaining amount until payment is made in full. As of December 31 2007, there were outstanding receivables of TEUR 110. In March 2008, TEUR 96 was paid to the company by the respective board member. The goods and services received relate to the rent of premises.
One member of the Executive Board has acquired a share of 33 percent of the company renting the premises. The rent charged is at the lower end of the price range usual on the market.
The services received from one former Supervisory Board member include legal and consulting fees.
The affiliated company is owned by family members of an Executive Board member. The goods and services in question were produced and received under normal market conditions.
In the presentation of the statement of change in shareholders' equity, transfers from capital reserves were wrongly presented as accrued profits in the retained earnings column, contrary to IAS 1.99. The correct statement of change in shareholders' equity is presented below:

The COLEXON Group grants various warranties to its customers. The actual claims made against these warranties are estimated, as they cannot be accurately forecast when the sales revenue is realised. These estimates are based on assumptions that affect the amount of these provisions. The estimates are affected by future changes in productivity, materials and personnel expenses, as well as quality improvement measures.
As of June 30, 2008, new findings led to the adequacy of the warranty provisions being reviewed and subsequently increased by TEUR 628, in accordance with IAS 8.32 (e).
All companies in that COLEXON AG directly or indirectly holds the majority of voting rights are included in the consolidated accounts as at September 30, 2008.

The merger of COLEXON GmbH onto COLEXON Energy AG results in a termination of the Colexon GmbH. In 2008 the 100 percent daughter company R+P Sun Energy LLC, Portland/OR, USA has been liquidated and a new association, the COLEXON Corp., Tempe/AZ, USA has been founded. This step was also taken to improve the personal contact to business partners, e.g. with a closer location to suppliers. The 100 percent owned daughter company has not been included by the means of a fully consolidation in the consolidated financial statement.
Other financial liabilities exist in the form of module supply and service contracts with a residual term of up to one year amounting to TEUR 91,326 (December 31 2007: TEUR 57,255) and those with a residual term of more than one year and up to five years amounting to TEUR 350,324 (December 31 2007: TEUR 205,541).
The segment reporting of the COLEXON Group is based on internal reporting. The initial reporting format differentiates between the distribution and projects segments. The secondary reporting format differentiates regions.
The projects segment covers the business activities as a system provider of photovoltaic installations and as a project developer. As a system provider, the COLEXON Group plans, delivers and installs large-scale photovoltaic facilities, particularly on the roofs of commercial, public or agricultural buildings. The business activities of the Meppen site of COLEXON Energy AG are dedicated to the projects segment.
The business activities of the Wesel site of COLEXON GmbH and COLEXON Iberia S.L. fall within the scope of the distribution segment.
