InTiCa Systems is still on track to achieve the targets it has set itself for this year. The company's successful development is demonstrated by a clear upturn in business, with volumes up roughly 21% year-on-year at the end of the first six months, and a further improvement in our earnings situation. Sales growth in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments has been prodigious. The Industrial Electronics segment played a particularly significant role in this rise: while Automotive Technology lifted sales by around 35%, Industrial Electronics posted sales growth of well over 500%. In H1 2010 this segment reported sales of over EUR 3.4 million and a good EBIT margin of almost 10%. The Automotive Technology segment is now also reporting satisfactory EBIT margins. On a quarterly basis, they reached a comparable level. However, higher raw material costs caused by market shortages and the appreciation of the US dollar diminished the margin towards the end of the period.
At the end of the first six months Group EBIT was positive at EUR 0.002 million (H1 2009: minus EUR 0.6 million). The continued negative earnings contribution from the Communication Technology segment, which is only gradually receding, is therefore now offset by the other segments. A further reduction in losses in the Communication Technology segment, accompanied by a further improvement in the other two segments, should ensure that EBIT is clearly positive at year-end.
Orders on hand increased to over EUR 24 million as of June 30, indicating the good market position enjoyed by InTiCa Systems' products. Production is currently operating close to capacity so both inventories and our headcount have increased further in recent months.
Most orders on hand are secured by firm take-off agreements and the expected inflow of funds should lead to a clearly positive operating cash flow in the coming months.
Following investment to expand operations further in the first half of this year, the Board of Directors assumes that capital spending will be far lower in the second half of the year and that business will therefore be less capital-intensive.
Passau, August 2010

Chairman of the Member of the
Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger Board of Directors Board of Directors
for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2010
The global economy recovery continued to gather momentum in the first half of 2010, driven mainly by strong economic growth in the emerging markets in Asia and South America. The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) calculates that the German economy grew by 1.1% in the second quarter of 2010, placing it at the forefront of the euro zone, where overall growth was comparatively subdued. Exports were the main growth driver in Germany. According to the DIW, output in export-oriented sectors such as the automotive, mechanical engineering and chemicals industries was roughly back at the level reported in 2008, before the economic crisis. Growth in the US economy flattened somewhat in the second quarter of 2010 and was 0.6% according to the OECD. Nevertheless, that represented year-on-year growth of 3.2%.
Shares in InTiCa Systems AG traded sideways at around EUR 4 in the first quarter of 2010. In April, they abruptly surged towards EUR 5 and substantially exceeded this threshold in April 30. In Xetra trading, the share price closed at EUR 5.25 on May 4. However, the stock market was subsequently unsettled by the sense of crisis caused by the threat that Greece might default, together with growing concern about the stability of other European countries, which led to a sell-off on the equity markets.
Shares in InTiCa Systems were also affected by this selling pressure. By the end of May they had dropped back to around EUR 4 and a sustained rally from this level was not achieved. In Xetra trading, the share price closed at EUR 3.90 on August 13.
In the first six months, we provided timely information for our shareholders and the general public on current business trends, major orders acquired, specific events and the company's prospects. At the Annual General Meeting on July 9, 2010 shareholders were able to find out about the company's performance in 2009 and the current situation at InTiCa Systems. The presentation and speech given at this year's Annual General Meeting and the results of the votes on the resolutions can be accessed on the company's homepage at Investor Relations/Annual General Meeting (available in German only).
In the first half of this year, InTiCa Systems' Automotive Technology segment and especially the Industrial Electronics segment secured further major long-term orders worth several million euros, thus underscoring the growth prospects of these segments. Most of the orders on hand are secured by firm take-off obligations, so the inflow of funds in the coming months should result in a positive cash flow. Moreover, in line with customary market practice in the sector, payment terms in the Industrial Electronics segment – which is currently the fastest-growing segment at InTiCa Systems – are far shorter than in the automotive industry.
By the end of the first second quarter of 2010, orders on hand had increased year-on-year to over EUR 24 million (H1 2009: EUR 13 million).

The Group's earning position improved significantly year-on-year in the first half of 2010. At the end of the first six months, EBIT was positive at EUR 0.002 million (H1 2009: minus EUR 0.6 million). This was due to the sharp rise in sales and earnings in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. InTiCa Systems' equity ratio of 52% (December 31, 2009: 57%) shows that it is still soundly financed. Taking into account interest payments, the cash flow from operating activities was negative in the first six months due to pre-financing of customer orders for which payment has not yet been received. Moreover, the Group invested in non-current assets in connection with the further expansion of business, resulting in a decline in cash and cash equivalents.
In the first six months of 2010 InTiCa Systems grew sales by around 21.3% to EUR 13.8 million, compared with EUR 11.3 million a year earlier. A further drop in sales of around 19% in the Communication Technology segment from EUR 7.8 million in H1 2009 to EUR 6.3 million contrasted with a strong advance in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. Sales in the Automotive Technology segment increased by around 34.8% year-on-year to around EUR 4.0 million (H1 2009: EUR 3.0 million) while in the Industrial Electronics segment sales surged by around 518% to over EUR 3.4 million (H1 2009: EUR 0.6 million).
The Group's material cost ratio was held at 68%, around the year-back level of 67%, despite higher raw material costs caused by high market demand and the renewed strength of the US dollar. The personnel cost ratio remained unchanged year-on-year at just under 21% in the first six months even though new employees were taken on. Capital expenditures undertaken in the past for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets increased depreciation and amortization to EUR 2.0 million (H1 2009: EUR 1.7 million). Other expenses were hardly changed at EUR 1.5 million in H1 2010 (H1 2009: EUR 1.4 million).
R&D expenses amounted to EUR 1.3 million in H1 2010, around the same level as in the previous year (H1 2009: EUR 1.2 million). EBITDA was far higher than in the first half of 2009; it rose 78.5% from EUR 1.1 million to almost EUR 2.0 million. In Q2 2010 EBITDA increased to EUR 1.1 million, up from EUR 0.9 million in Q1 2010.
Overall, Group EBIT was slightly positive at EUR 0.002 million in the first half of 2010. That was a significant improvement compared with the previous year (H1 2009: minus EUR 0.6 million). The negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.56 million reported by the Communication Technology segment was offset by the strong improvement in earnings in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments (Automotive Technology EUR 0.22 million, up from EUR 0.06 million in H1 2009; Industrial Electronics EUR 0.34 million, up from EUR 0.009 million in H1 2009). In H1 2010 the EBIT margin was 9.9% in the Industrial Electronics segment and 5.5% in the Automotive Technology segment (H1 2009: 1.6% and 2.1% respectively).
The Group's after-tax income was minus EUR 0.22 million in H1 2010 (H1 2009: minus 0.82 million) as the financial result was negative at minus EUR 0.22 million (H1 2009: minus 0.15 million). Earnings per share were minus EUR 0.05 (H1 2009: minus EUR 0.19).
Owing to extensive investment in property, plant and equipment, capitalized developed costs and other investments in intangible assets, non-current assets increased by around 7% from EUR 23.1 million as of December 31, 2009 to EUR 24.7 million as of June 30, 2010.
Current assets increased from EUR 13.6 million to EUR 15.4 million in the reporting period. Inventories rose from EUR 4.0 million as of December 31, 2009 to EUR 6.1 million as of June 30, 2010, mainly due to orders received by the Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments. At the same time, trade receivables increased from EUR 4.3 million to EUR 6.1 million and cash and cash equivalents declined by around EUR 2.2 million to EUR 2.7 million. These changes were principally attributable to upfront financing of orders on hand for which customers have generally firm take-off obligations.
InTiCa Systems' current liabilities increased by around 83.4% in the first six months of 2010, from EUR 4.2 million to EUR 7.8 million. This was due to higher drawings on credit lines (approx. EUR 1.6 million) and an approximately 90.7% increase in trade payables from EUR 2.1 million to EUR 4.0 million. Non-current liabilities declined slightly in the same period from EUR 11.5 million to EUR 11.4 million.
Equity was around EUR 20.8 million at the end of the reporting period. That was only slightly lower than as of December 31, 2009 (EUR 20.9 million) because the negative interim result (minus EUR 0.2 million) was offset to a large extent by positive currency translation differences relating to the Czech subsidiary (EUR 0.16 million). The increase in debt reduced the equity ratio from 57.0% as of December 31, 2009 to 52% as of June 2010, while total assets increased from EUR 36.7 million to EUR 40.1 million in this period.
The net cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.2 million in H1 2010 (H1 2009: outflow of EUR 2.6 million). The net cash outflow was principally due to the increase in inventories, contractually secured but still outstanding cash inflows and interest payments, which alone amounted to EUR 0.25 million. Excluding interest payments, InTiCa Systems achieved a cash inflow from operating activities of EUR 0.03 million (H1 2009: outflow of EUR 2.37 million).
The net cash outflow for investing activities increased to EUR 3.5 million in the reporting period, compared with a net outflow of EUR 1.9 million in the prior year. The cash outflows were mainly for investment in property, plant and equipment, especially for expansion of the production site in Prachatice in the Czech Republic, and intangible assets.
The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.1 million, around the same level as in the prior year (H1 2009: outflow of EUR 0.1 million). In the reporting period, outflows were exclusively for repayment instalments on loans (EUR 0.1 million).
Cash and cash equivalents (less current account credit lines drawn) amounted to EUR 0.2 million as of June 30, 2010 (H1 2009: EUR 4.8 million). Moreover, InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 3.3 million.
The number of employees increased as planned from 267 as of December 31, 2009 to 351 as of June 30, 2010 in response to the rise in orders on hand. The average headcount in the first half of 2010 was 306.
The management report in the annual report for 2009 provides full details of risk factors that could affect the business performance of InTiCa Systems in section 10 "Risk management and risk report" while business potential is discussed in section 12 "Opportunities". There was no material change in the risk/opportunity profile of InTiCa Systems AG in the reporting period.
At the Annual General Meeting on July 9, 2010 the Supervisory Board of InTiCa Systems AG gave one month's notice of the resignation of all members. Since no new members could be elected at the Annual General Meeting, their resignation led to the appointment of a new Supervisory Board by the courts. The members of the new Supervisory Board are Mr. Werner Paletschek, Mr. Christian Fürst and Mr. Detlef Hölzel. The constitutive meeting of the supervisory board is planned for August 26, 2010.
At present the Board of Directors sees no reason to alter the sales guidance for the Group and the individual segments given in the report on the first three months of 2010. It still expects the Group to grow sales by more than 20% to EUR 28-30 million. Orders on hand in the Group had increased to over EUR 24 million as of June 30, 2010, so attainment of the sales target seems very likely.
On the production side, the historically high level of orders on hand has resulted in very high capacity utilization in all segments, so both inventories and personnel increased further in recent months. Since most orders on hand are secured by firm take-off agreements, the Board of Directors expects the inflow of funds in the coming months to lead to a clearly positive operating cash flow. Cash outflows resulting from high investment to expand capacity will be far lower in the second half of the year than in the first half. In view of the good outlook at present, the Board of Directors believes that turnaround of the Group is still a realistic prospect for this year.
Further information on the expectations for the individual segments is set out in section 14 "Outlook" in the management report published in the annual report for 2009 and in the "Outlook" section of the report on the first three months of this year.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for InTiCa Systems AG and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 have been drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applicable for use in the European Union, and the supplementary commercial law regulations set out in sec. 315a paragraph 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).
