LE T TER OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders Dear Sir / Madam.

Welcome to another boom year in the photovoltaic industry. As expected, demand in what is traditionally the slowest quarter for sales in the solar industry increased sharply this year so that we have been able to almost double our sales and earnings compared to the same quarter last year. This is, on one hand, due to the anticipated boom in investment in Germany this year due to the expected higher decrease of the feed-in tariff as of 2009. On the other hand, the relatively mild winter made timely project implementation possible.

On the whole, this enabled us to generate sales revenue in the fi rst quarter of 2008 of 26.3 million Euro. At the same time, our earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased from 178 thousand Euro in the fi rst quarter of 2007 to 953 thousand Euro. We are well aware that there are major challenges ahead of us as in 2009. Experts are already expecting a considerable drop in the prices for modules and in projects in the next two years. We can only counter this market development through risk diversifi cation in the context of increased internationalisation as well as raised cost awareness and further effi ciency increases in the company.

Therefore, we are currently consistently orientating our organisation around the realisation of major projects and international expansion. This way, project management and controlling will be clearly strengthened. Internationalisation will be achieved through distribution activities in which long-term partnerships will be established in the countries where we want to apply our expertise to realise large projects in accordance with locally anticipated market growth. We are assessing the potential of the individual national markets against this background.

Hence, we are proceeding on the assumption that COLEXON will have a competitive edge in Spain, because large rooftop solar power plants are to be promoted there more intensively in the future. We have been present there since 2005 with an offi ce in Málaga. The market in South Korea will be consistently developed through the partnership with LG Chem and other local project managers. In the USA, we are initially establishing partnerships with local system integrators through our offi ce in Arizona. In Greece, we anticipate that the bureaucratic approval hurdles will be relaxed next year so that we can expect the fi rst projects there. In other Southern European countries, especially Italy, we have the fi rst promising commercial contacts that we will consistently expand. Simultaneously, we will continue to increase our technological competence in the thin-fi lm sector.

We believe that we are on the right course to effectively meet the challenges of the industry in the next few years and to exploit the potential of this market, which is still marked by its long-term growth potential.

Yours faithfully

Thorsten Preugschas Dr. Volker Wingefeld

THE SHARE

SHARE VALUE AND SHAREHOLDERS' STRUCTURE

MARKET TRENDS AND SHARE VALUE

The German stock market reported considerable price losses in the fi rst three months of 2008 due to the effects of the international fi nancial market crisis. By the end of March, the German Stock Index (DAX) dropped by 19.0 percent. The Prime IG Renewable Energies index, which is critical for the solar power industry and hence also for COLEXON, posted a drop of 31.5 percent from 1,270.0 to 869.7 points in this period.

Even the shares of COLEXON Energy AG were not able to defy the negative capital market situation and lost 47.2 percent from January to March; however this was after having more than tripled in Autumn 2007 in the period from September to November. On March 31, 2008, the last trading day of the fi rst quarter, the share closed at EUR 6.80. Hence, the market capitalisation on that date was EUR 34.8 million. On April 30, it cost EUR 7.60. No capital measures were carried out in the fi rst quarter of fi scal year 2008.

Share value of the COLEXON-share

SHAREHOLDERS' STRUCTURE

The composition of COLEXON Energy AG shareholders according to the WpHG (Security Trading Act) notices was as follows on the closing data of March 31, 2008: Thorsten Preugschas holds 2.79 percent, Libra Equity has 3.04 percent, and the Danish Renewagy A/S owns 19.43 percent of the shares. The free fl oat is 74.74 percent. There have thus been no changes compared to the end of 2007.

CONVERTIBLE BOND

The price of the convertible bond showed little change in the fi rst three months of 2008. After closing the year 2007 at EUR 18.99, it was at EUR 17.80 on the closing date of March 31, 2008.

Interests on partial debentures 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 8. Due date of the convertible bond is on May 8, 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.

COURSE OF BUSINESS

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2008

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

As legally determined, the feed-in tariff for solar energy in Germany dropped on January 1, 2008 by 5 percent for rooftop solar power plants and by 6.5 percent for open-fi eld plants. Nevertheless, demand this year has already increased noticeably in the 1st quarter, which is traditionally the weakest. This is not only due to the expected investment boom in Germany in this year based on the expected higher feed-in tariffs as of 2009. The relatively mild winter as well as the "solar craze" in Spain have had the effect of pushing the purchase price for crystalline modules up by approximately 8 percent compared to the fi rst quarter of 2007. The purchase price for thin-fi lm modules did indeed drop by the forecast amount, however the availability of thin-fi lm modules (above all CdTe) still lags considerably behind demand. It can be noticed that more agreements in the megawatt range are in demand by institutional investors, which are to be realised either as individual large projects or as project packages.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Earnings position

In the 1st quarter, the COLEXON Group generated total sales revenue of TEUR 26,317 and hence was able to almost double sales compared to the 1st quarter of the previous year. Here, 48 percent were from the Projects segment and 52 percent was from the Distributions segment. Sales revenue in the Projects segment mainly resulted from the "Immler" project, which consists of 40 individual solar power plants that had been under construction for the customer DKA since November 2007.

Gross profi t increased by TEUR 1,405, and amounted to TEUR 3,804 (previous year: TEUR 2,399). This is 14.5 percent (previous year: 17 percent) of sales revenue. Personnel expenses increased by TEUR 402 to TEUR 1,142, due to adding 20 employees to the workforce. On the other hand, other operating expenses increased disproportionately compared to the sales revenue, by TEUR 223 to TEUR 1,649.

This results in an EBIT of TEUR 953 (previous year: TEUR 178). This increase is based on the one hand on the increased gross profi t. On the other hand, the expenses (personnel expenses, depreciation and other operating expenses) only increased by TEUR 631. It was thus possible to improve the earnings for the period from TEUR -47 to TEUR 520.

Asset and fi nancial situation

The fi xed assets remained almost unchanged with a slight increase of TEUR 313 to TEUR 27,873, whereas shortrange assets increased from TEUR 30,144 by TEUR 5,427 to TEUR 35,571. This increase is based on one hand on a TEUR 1,568 increase to the stock of liquid funds and on the other hand on an increase to the trade accounts receivables of TEUR 3,448 to TEUR 5,871. This increase is essentially attributable to a considerable increase in sales.

On the liabilities side, the long-term debts dropped marginally by TEUR 107, whereas short-range debts increased from TEUR 11,589 by TEUR 5,327 to TEUR 16,916. This increase concerns the provisions for taxation, which increased by TEUR 739 to TEUR 766 due to the positive profi t situation. At the same time, other provisions and the trade accounts payable increased by a total of TEUR 1,459.

Due to the strong increase in project business, COLEXON's focus is currently on securing the resulting increased need for liquidity. Here, the focus is on an expansion of the credit line as well as another increase to project fi nancing. In the fi rst quarter of 2008, meetings were held with banks in this regard.

The development of the cash fl ow refl ects the above-mentioned components of the development of the fi nancial status. The cash fl ow from ordinary business activity in the amount of TEUR -519 is negative essentially due to the increase in trade accounts receivables and other assets as well as the trade accounts payable.

This increased requirement for liquidity from the cash fl ow from operating activities led to an increase in interim project fi nancing and hence to a positive cash fl ow from fi nancing activities in the amount of TEUR 2,062.

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

Regarding the opportunities and risks, we refer you to the Annual Report 2007. Since publication of that report, the essential opportunities and risks for COLEXON Energy AG have not changed.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

On April 22, 2008, an agreement was concluded with a volume of 4.64 MWp. The sales volume totals TEUR 17.539. The project will be realised with modules of the manufacturer First Solar and is currently the world`s largest roof-top project made out of thin-fi lm modules. Start of construction is in the KW 19 and completion is planned for the end of 2008.

FORECAST REPORT

For a detailed presentation of the forecast, we refer to the Annual Report 2007.

The Executive Board confi rms its expectation of strong demand in Germany in 2008 due to pull effects triggered by the expected higher decrease in the feed-in tariffs as of 2009. For the business year 2008, the Executive Board expects sales of EUR 110 million and an EBIT of between EUR 6 to 8 million.

NOTES

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

At the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on December 18, 2007 the shareholders of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG have decided to change the name of the company to COLEXON Energy AG. The registration of the new name in the Commercial Register was made on January 25, 2008.

1. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ITEMISATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

As of March 31, 2008, the Consolidated Financial Statement (CFS) of COLEXON Energy AG in Hamburg (hereafter abbreviated as 'COLEXON AG' or in connection with the Group 'COLEXON Group') has been prepared to the closing date in accordance with the regulations of IAS 34 and by application of § 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB) in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that has been adopted and publicised by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as its interpretation by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The explanatory notes of the Annual Report 2007, particularly regarding the company balance and evaluation methods, apply accordingly.

COLEXON Energy AG, entered in the Commercial Registry of the District Court of Hamburg under the Commercial Registry Number (HRB) 93828, is domiciled in 22767 Hamburg, in the Grosse Elbstrasse 45, Germany. In accordance with the Articles of Association, the company's purpose is the activity of a managerial holding, i.e., particularly the purchase, sales, the holding and administration of holdings of companies, primarily in the fi eld of solar energy and their consolidation under uniform management.

The submitted fi nancial statement is an interim consolidated fi nancial statement for the period from January 01 to March 31, 2008 with fi gures for comparison from the period from January 01 to March 31, 2007 as well as fi gures for comparison from the balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet is outlined in accordance with maturities. The cost of production method form was chosen for the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Group reporting currency is the euro (EUR). For simplifi cation purposes, thousand euro is reported as TEUR.

2. INDIVIDUAL PRINCIPLES OF REPORTING AND VALUATION

Goodwill

Asset debit differences, resulting from the consolidation of investments, will be accounted as Goodwill. Goodwill, pursuant to the Principles of IFRS 3 in contrast to lAS 36 and lAS 38, will not be written off according to schedule. At least once a year it will be examined, within the framework of an impairment test, to which extent unscheduled depreciations shall take place.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets will be put to acquisition costs, reduced by scheduled, depreciable asset life and if necessary, unscheduled depreciation. The scheduled depreciation takes place in accordance with the linear method for a usual useful life of three to fi ve years.

Tangible assets (other equipment, factory and offi ce equipment)

Tangible assets of the tangible fi xed assets are activated by the procurement costs and cost of manufacture, and depreciated by scheduled, linear write-off in accordance with anticipated useful economic life. As far as necessary, unscheduled depreciation will also be implemented. The scheduled depreciation of tangible fi xed assets is primarily based on a useful asset life of between three and 15 years.

Financial assets

In accordance with lAS 39, other investments as well as securities, stocks and bonds shall be entered in the balance sheet as assets available for sale with the correlative current value of the closing date. Profi ts and losses resulting from the alteration of the current value will be set off from the equity, resulting in neither profi t nor loss. Depreciation through unscheduled depreciation and a realised profi t or loss through sales will be directly entered into the period result.

Stocks

Stocks will be entered into the balance sheet in accordance with lAS 2, at their cost of procurement or manufacture or with the anticipated lower net sales value. The evaluation of stocks will take place under the aspect of materiality with the direct attributable expenses.

Production orders

Production orders will be entered into the balance sheet in accordance with lAS 11 within the framework of partial realisation of profi ts and pursuant to the Percentage of Completion Method. Anticipated loss of orders in the full amount will be taken into immediate consideration. Profi t will only then be realised, if the results of the production orders may be dependably estimated.

The degree of completion to be set will therefore be determined upon the completion of and in accordance with the fi xed defi ned project milestone method. According to this degree of completion, sales and expenditures will be entered and realised as partial profi ts. As far as the cumulative (order sales and expenditures) exceed the customer advances in individual cases, the production orders will be shown on the asset-side under the future receivables from production orders. Should a negative balance remain after deduction of the customer advances, these will be shown on the liability-side as a liability from production orders.

Receivables and other short-term assets

Receivables and other short-term assets will be entered into the balance sheet with par value, respectively with the acquisition costs after deduction of appropriate value adjustments.

Medium of exchange

The accounting of current cash in banks and cash balance (means of payment liquid assets respectively) takes place at the respective nominal value.

Long-term liabilities

The convertible bonds are broken down into composite fi nancial instruments in accordance with IAS 32 comprised of equity and outside capital components. The outside capital component corresponds to the cash value of a similar bond

without a conversion right, evaluated with a standard interest rate, set at 8 percent p.a. The equity capital component is determined as the residual from the market value of the conversion bond at the time of issue (total infl ow of funds) minus the calculated outside capital component.

As of March 31, 2008, the equity capital component remained unchanged, as no conversion rights were exercised. The costs associated with the issuing of the convertible bond were split according to the ratio of the equity capital to the outside capital component. As far as the costs were attributed to the equity capital component, they were reduced in order to deduct related income tax advantages from the cash infl ow in capital provisions. The costs attributed to the outside capital component were substracted of the convertible bond. The market interest rate was added to the outside capital component in consideration of the proportional costs of the convertible bond.

The interest payments for the convertible bond decrease the outside capital component.

The calculation of the convertible bond was corrected retrospectively as per IAS 8. We refer to item 'Change as per IAS 8.41 – 49'.

Provisions

In accordance with lAS 37, provisions are to be set aside, if legal or factual obligations exist from past occurrences and the outfl ow of resources for the fulfi lment and a dependable estimation is possible. Provisions are set at the amount that present the best possible estimation of the expenditure required for the fulfi lment of the current obligation as of the balance sheet date.

Other liabilities

The remaining liabilities (fi nancial obligations, received advance payments, accounts payable and other obligations) are set at their redemption amount.

Deferred taxes

For the temporary differences between IFRS and Tax Balance Sheets, deferred taxes are formed through the reversal of the differences from presumably arising valid tax rates. This also applies for temporary differences from consolidation entries affecting income. Deferred tax assets are balanced as loss carryovers not yet realised if it is likely, that future taxable earnings accrue in the corresponding amount.

Currency conversion

All transactions in foreign currency will be set at the exchange rate of the current value at the time of the accounting transaction. On the respective balance sheet key date, an evaluation takes place according to the exchange rate on reporting date. Conversion differences will be recognised as income in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Use of assumptions and estimates

Within the framework of the preparation of the CFS, assumptions are made and estimates form a basis that infl uence the approach, the information shown, the evaluation of assets entered in the balance sheet, liabilities, profi ts and expenditures. The assumptions and estimates that have been used as a foundation are primarily based on the specifi cation of

normal operating utilisation durations of long-term assets, the determination of degree of a project's completion and the evaluation of reserves. In individual cases, the actual values of the made assumptions and estimations may differ.

Change as per IAS 8.41 - 49

Within the scope of the calculation of the fi nancial effects from entering the convertible bond in the accounts, an error occurred that affected the accounting in fi scal year 2006 and the following reports. The error was corrected retrospectively as per IAS 8.

3. SCOPE AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

In the CFS as of March 31, 2008, all companies are included, of which COLEXON AG has the direct or indirect majority of voting rights. The companies have been included in the CFS in the period where COLEXON AG achieved the possibility of control. Those subsidiary companies, which are from the company's point of view of minor signifi cance, will be balanced as fi nancial instruments in accordance with lAS 39.

In addition to the parent company COELXON AG, the following subsidiary companies have been included in the CFS as of March 31, 2008, in the course of the full consolidation:

STAKE
%
COLEXON GMBH, WESEL AND MEPPEN 100
COLEXON IBERIA S.L., MADRID 100

The wholly-owned subsidiaries R+P Sun Energy LLC, Portland/OR, USA has been included neither as affi liated company in the CFS nor in course of full consolidation, due to minor signifi cance.

As of March 31, 2008, a 10 percent 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.

The interim fi nancial statements of the companies included in COLEXON AG's Consolidated Financial Statement are consolidated in accordance with the uniform company balance and evaluation methods. The balance sheet date for all consolidated companies is the same as the parent company's date.

The capital consolidation shall be conducted in accordance with the procurement methods pursuant to IFRS 3. Investment book value of the subsidiary companies at the time of their purchase are set off with their share of newly evaluated equity. Accrued debit differences are shown as goodwill.

Income and expenditure as well as receivables and payables or provisions between the fully consolidated companies will be eliminated. Interim results from company internal account payables, which have not been realised through sales to third parties, are calculated separately, as long as they are not of minor signifi cance.

4. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GERMAN COMMERCIAL CODE (HGB) AND INTERNATI-ONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

Through accountancy adjustments from the balance sheet entries in accordance with German Commercial Code (HGB) to IFRS, signifi cant differences may occur in the following areas:

Goodwill (IFRS 3)

Goodwill, resulting from the acquisition of subsidiary companies liable to consolidation, is to be reported as assets with the acquisition costs on the date of the company's acquisition. In accordance with the IFRS, no scheduled amortisation shall take place. Instead, an Impairment Test of goodwill will take place at least once a year and if necessary, of goodwill will be amortised extraordinarily. In contrast, in accordance with the regulations of the German Commercial Code (HGB), goodwill is to be regularly amortised or openly charged against the reserves.

Long-term assets available for sale (IFRS 5)

Long-term assets available for sale will be set at the lower value from book value and current value to be settled less the sales costs. In accordance with commercial law, no special valuation regulations exist; general principles apply.

Production orders (lAS 11)

If the result of a production order is estimated as dependable, then revenues and costs of the order are to be entered as income and expenses respectively according to the performance rate on the balance sheet date. In accordance with the HGB, stage of completion accounting is generally not permitted.

Production orders were measured in accordance with the milestone method. The company generally applies the PoC method for projects greater than 15 kWp. In a further step, a distinction is made between projects up to and over 100 kWp. Projects up to 100 kWp are taken into account as a whole, with distinctions made only between the percentages of completion of 25 percent, 50 percent and 75 percent. Projects over 100 kWp, however, are considered at the respective individual percentage of completion. For this, the project size is defi ned not by individual location, but by customer contract. This means for example, that a customer contract over 1,000 kWP which, however, extends over a number of locations that may be under 100 kWp in individual cases, is treated as one project.

Deferred taxes (lAS 12)

For the temporary differences between IFRS and Tax Balance Sheets, deferred taxes are calculated by which those tax rates are used which probably arise during the period of difference reversal.

Equity transactions (lAS 32 compared to SIC 17)

Costs of equity transactions, reduced by all connected income tax advantages, will be entered in the balance sheet as a deduction from equity and charged against the equity reserves. In accordance with commercial law, the costs will be entered as full expenditures.

Other Investments and Long-term Securities (lAS 39)

Other investments and long-term securities are entered in the balance sheet as long-term assets available-for-sale with the respective current value as of the balance sheet date. Profi ts and losses from the alteration of the market value will be accounted as not affecting net income within the equity. Depreciation by unscheduled depreciation and by sales realised as profi t or loss will be directly entered in the period's results. In accordance with commercial law, the accounting of acquisition costs takes place less the required unscheduled depreciation.

NOTES ON SEGMENT REPORTING

The segment report of the COLEXON Group follows internal controlling and reporting. Therefore, the company is subdivided into the Projects and Distribution segments.

The Projects segment includes the activities as a system provider of photovoltaic facilities as well as project developer. As a system provider, the COLEXON Group plans, delivers, and installs large-scale photovoltaic facilities, particularly on commercial, public, or agricultural roof tops. In accordance with individual agreements with the respective customers, the following services shall be taken over:

  • Examination of the project's effi ciency as well as the technical suitability of the installation space (usually roof space on buildings in the fi elds of commercial, public or agricultural),
  • the obtaining of the legally permissible requirements for the erection and operation of the facilities upon respective spaces,
  • the statistical examination of roof spaces,
  • preparation of expert opinion on earnings.

The COLEXON Group also erects photovoltaic facilities as a project developer for private and institutional investors. In this case, suitable facility locations are identifi ed, offered to investors and the required agreement between the space owner and the investor (lease and/or land use contracts) media. As soon as the prerequisites for the erection of a photovoltaic facility have been created, the COLEXON Group performs their services as a system provider for the investor. The segment has been allocated to the business activities of COLEXON GmbH, site Meppen.

The site in Wesel as well as COLEXON Iberia S.L are allocated to the business activities of the Distribution segment.

The Column 'Transition' includes group-wide transactions, holding expenses as well as tax on income items which pursuant to IAS 14 are not to be considered.

Due to the merger of Nastro-Umwelttechnik GmbH (Projects segment) and Maaß Regenerative-Energien GmbH (Distritubion segment) segment reporting had to be modifi ed with regards to the allocation of assets and debts.

For the purposes of calculating the segment result, costs were allocated similarly to proportion of sales.

Liquid funds were allocated in full to reconciliation. Trade accounts receivable were allocated by commercial estimate.

Provisions and other liabilities have been classifi ed on the basis of estimates under segment debts according to fi nancial cause. Trade accounts payable have similarly been allocated to the classifi cation of inventories.

With secondary segments (geographical region) external revenues are based on the domicile of the customer. According to internal controlling, the regions Germany, Spain and other regions have been defi ned. The distribution of sales revenue for the secondary segments is a materiality point of view.

Thin-fi lm technology Highly pure wafers of semi-conducting material (a-si, CdTe) are deposited or vapour-coated
onto a carrying medium and provided with contacts. It takes less energy and raw materials to
manufacture a thin-fi lm photovoltaic cell, which makes them more environmentally friendly
and in the long-term cheaper to produce than crystalline cells. Other advantages are a lower
temperature coeffi cient and the ability to use a broader light spectrum by means of multiple
layers. The latter optimises effi ciency and hence the yield. Thin-fi lm modules also offer advan
tages in shady conditions, as the module output is only reduced by the portion of surface that is
in the shade.
Crystalline Silicon Wafer-thin disks are sliced off a silicon monocrystal (monocrystalline) or multicrystal (poly
crystalline) and provided with contacts. The effi ciency is higher than with thin-fi lm cells of the
same size. The colour of the monocrystal ranges from anthracite to dark blue and is uniform in
appearance. Polycrystalline cells are slightly less effi cient than monocrystalline cells.
