Foreword by the Board of Directors

Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

Our performance in the first nine months of 2011 reflects InTiCa Systems' successful development. Sales grew more than 50 percent year-on-year to EUR 33.0 million. The main growth drivers in the reporting period were once again the Industrial Electronics segment, where sales advanced by around 117 percent, and Automotive Technology, where sales increased by around 76 percent. Although the Communication Technology segment did not quite manage to match its very good performance in the second quarter of this year, sales were only down roughly 9 percent year-onyear and the segment reduced its loss to EUR 0.1 million. The improvement in Group earnings was particularly pleasing. While the Group made a loss of EUR 0.8 million in the first nine months of 2010, it is able to report a clearly positive nine-month result of EUR 0.7 million this year. The EBIT margin was above our expectations at around 3.7% in the first nine months of this year.

As an innovation leader on the market with a focus on energy efficiency and environmental technology, InTiCa System offers its customers products that add value. High acceptance of our products and strong demand for our innovative solutions are evidenced by orders on hand, which remain high at over EUR 36 million. Various new developments will help us drive forward the successful refocusing of the company.

Passau, November 2011

Yours,

Chairman of the Member of the

Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger Board of Directors Board of Directors

Group Management Report

for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2011

General economic conditions

The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) calculates that in the second half of the year growth in the German economy will be considerably weaker than had been expected. However, in view of the strong first half, it anticipates that over the full year economic growth will be 2.8 percent. Economic growth forecasts for 2012 are, however, far lower at around 1.0 percent. Reasons for the anticipated slower growth are a general cooling of the global economy and the heightened uncertainty resulting from the growing debt crisis in the euro zone and the increasingly difficult budget situation in the USA, which are likely to result in postponement of planned capital expenditures and lower consumer spending. Overall, the DIW only expects the global economy to report modest growth of around 4 percent in 2011 and 2012, driven by the emerging economies in Asia and South America. The excessive debt in many industrialized countries remains a serious risk to the future positive development of the global economy.

InTiCa Systems' share price performance1)

Following a good start to the first quarter, with InTiCa Systems's share price rising from EUR 4.25 to EUR 5.10 in January, the share traded sideways at around EUR 5 in February. In March, the natural disaster in Japan and the downtrend on the global capital markets pushed the share price down to EUR 4.01. The share subsequently rallied quickly and the price stabilized at above EUR 5. In June and July, it traded in a range between EUR 4.50 and EUR 5.00. At the start of August, the increasing uncertainty resulting from the European sovereign debt crisis and the persistently poor economic and financial situation in the USA led to a sharp downtrend on the international financial markets, which shares in InTiCa Systems were unable to escape. The share hit a low of EUR 3.30 on August 9, 2011. It subsequently recovered and has risen steadily since then. The share price was EUR 3.78 at the close of Xetra trading on November 10, 2011.

In the first nine months of this year we provided timely information for our shareholders and the general public on current business trends, specific events and the company's prospects. At the Annual General Meeting on July 8, 2011 shareholders were able to find out about the company's performance in 2010 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].

As a Prime Standard company, InTiCa Systems will once again have a presence at the German Equity Forum on November 23, 2011 and, alongside some 200 other

companies, it will use this opportunity to present its latest financial results. The three-day German Equity Forum, which attracts more than 5,000 participants from the financial sector, German and international entrepreneurs, investors and analysts, is now Europe's leading platform for equity financing. companies, it will use this opportunity to present its latest financial results.

Earnings, asset and financial position

InTiCa Systems grew total sales by 50 percent year-on-year in the first nine months of 2011, from EUR 22.0 million to EUR 33.0 million. While there was a slight drop in sales in the Communication Technology segment, the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments remained the growth drivers. EBITDA increased 78 percent year-onyear to over EUR 4.7 million. This positive trend is also reflected in EBIT, which totalled EUR 1.2 million (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.5 million) and in the period result of EUR 0.7 million (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.8 million). The operating cash flow was EUR 0.5 million in the first nine months. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 1.1 million on September 30, 2011 and thus remained constant over the reporting period.

Earnings position

Total sales rose 50 percent from EUR 22.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 to EUR 33.0 million at end-September 2011. In the Communication Technology segment sales slipped by around 9 percent year-on-year from EUR 9.5 million to EUR 8.6 million. In the same period, the Automotive Technology segment grew sales by around 76 percent from EUR 6.4 million to EUR 11.2 million, while the Industrial Electronics segment increased its sales by around 117 percent from EUR 6.1 million to EUR 13.2 million.

The material expense ratio was 66 percent of total output, slightly above the year-back level of around 64 percent, due to an increase in inventories of finished goods and work in progress. The personnel expense ratio declined to 14 percent (9M 2010: 20 percent) due the lower headcount resulting from the reduction in agency staff. However, it should be noted that expenses of EUR 0.63 million for agency staff in the Czech Republic were shown under "Other expenses" in the reporting period. If these expenses were included in personnel expense, the personnel expense ratio would be 16 percent. Capital expenditures undertaken in the past for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets increased depreciation and amortization to EUR 3.5 million (9M 2010: EUR 3.1 million). There was an increase in other expenses to EUR 3.3 million in the reporting period (9M 2010: EUR 2.2 million).

EUR 1.8 million was spent on research and development in the first nine months. That was slightly less than in the yearback reference period (EUR 2.0 million).

In the first nine months of 2011, EBITDA increased 78 percent year-on-year from EUR 2.7 million to EUR 4.7 million. In the third quarter, EBITDA was EUR 1.6 million (Q3 2010: EUR 0.7 million), a rise of around 139 percent.

Group EBIT also increased substantially in the first nine months of 2011 to EUR 1.2 million (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.5 million). As a result the EBIT margin was around 3.7 percent. In the Communication Technology segment, EBIT was still negative but improved year-on-year from minus EUR 1.1 million to minus EUR 0.1 million. Industrial Electronics contributed EBIT of EUR 0.5 million (9M 2010: EUR 0.4 million). The EBIT margin in the Industrial Electronics segment declined from 6.7 percent a year ago to 3.8 percent. This was due partly to a rise in overheads resulting from the sharp upturn in business volume and partly to a perceptible increase in inventories (note: inventories are valued at cost) due to the recent deterioration in the market situation in the solar sector. Automotive Technology raised EBIT 327 percent from EUR 0.2 million in the first nine months of 2010 to EUR 0.8 million, enabling it to post an EBIT margin of 7.3 percent (9M 2010: 3.0 percent).

The financial result was minus EUR 0.4 million at the end of the first nine months (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.3 million). Net income for the first nine months increased significantly compared with the previous year to EUR 0.7 million (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.8 million). Earnings per share were thus EUR 0.16 (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.19). As a result of negative currency effects amounting to EUR 0.2 million (9M 2010: positive effects of approx. EUR 0.6 million) from the translation of foreign businesses, comprehensive income was EUR 0.5 million (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.2 million).

Non-current assets

In the reporting period, depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets exceeded capital spending. Non-current assets therefore declined from EUR 26.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to EUR 24.7 million as of September 30, 2011.

Current assets

Current assets increased from EUR 13.4 million to EUR 15.7 million in the first nine months of 2011. Inventories rose from EUR 5.8 million to EUR 7.8 million due to orders on hand. At the same time, trade receivables increased from EUR 6.1 million to EUR 6.5 million owing to the increase in business volume. Cash and cash equivalents were unchanged at EUR 1.1 million in the reporting period (December 31, 2010: EUR 1.1 million).

Liabilities

Current liabilities amounted to EUR 8.5 million as of September 30, 2011, which was above the level on December 31, 2010 (EUR 8.5 million). Current interest-bearing debt increased from EUR 2.9 million to EUR 4.1 million and trade payables declined from EUR 4.3 million to EUR 3.1 million. Non-current liabilities declined from EUR 12.2 million to EUR 11.7 million, principally as a result of scheduled loan repayment instalments.

Equity

Equity increased in the first nine months of 2011, from EUR 18.9 million as of December 31, 2010 to EUR 20.1 million as of September 30, 2011. Due to the positive interim earnings and the sale of treasury stock, the capital reserve increased from EUR 14.4 million to EUR 15.4 million and the profit reserve rose from EUR 0.0 million to EUR 0.3 million. At the same time, treasury stock was reduced from EUR 0.2 million to EUR 0.1 million and the currency translation reserve declined from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.2 million. The equity ratio increased from 47.7 percent to around 50.0 percent in the reporting period. Total assets increased from EUR 39.7 million to EUR 40.4 million in the first nine months of 2011

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 0.5 million in the first nine months of 2011 (9M 2010: EUR 0.9 million). The slight decline compared with the previous year, despite the clear improvement in earnings, can be explained by the considerable drop in trade payables in the reporting period, and by currency translation differences and a further rise in inventories. Excluding interest payments, the cash inflow from operating activities was EUR 1.0 million (9M 2010: EUR 1.3 million).

The net cash outflow for investing activities declined from EUR 5.2 million in the first nine months of 2010 to EUR 1.9 million in the first nine months of 2011. Around EUR 0.9 million of cash outflow was for capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment (9M 2010: EUR 3.7 million) while investment in intangible assets resulted in an outflow of around EUR 1.1 million (9M 2010: EUR 1.6 million).

The net cash inflow from financing activities was EUR 0.1 million (9M 2010: outflow of EUR 0.3 million). In the reporting period, cash inflows from the sale of treasury stock amounted to EUR 0.7 million, whereas cash outflows for scheduled repayment of loans were just EUR 0.6 million.

Cash and cash equivalents (less current account credit lines drawn) were minus EUR 2.3 million as of September 30, 2011 (9M 2010: minus EUR 0.5 million). InTiCa Systems still has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 4.0 million.

Employees

The number of employees declined from 447 as of December 31, 2010 to 407 as of September 30, 2011. The decline is chiefly attributable to the reduction in the use of agency staff in the third quarter. On average, the group had 437 employees in the reporting period.

Risks and opportunities

The management report in the annual report for 2010 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.

Events after the end of the reporting period

No material events have occurred since the reporting date on September 30, 2011.

Outlook

At present the Board of Directors sees no reason to alter its guidance, including its sales forecasts for the Group and the individual segments, given in the report on the first three months of 2011. It still expects to report sales of over EUR 40 million at year end, which would be more than 35 percent higher than at year-end 2010. The Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments should account for about 75 percent of Group sales.

Orders on hand amounted to EUR 36.3 million as of September 30, 2011, an increase of 18.2 percent from the year-back level of EUR 30.7 million. It is still highly probable that the company will achieve its sales target for 2011.

In view of the successful expansion of the product range, the successful entry into new markets and the increase in value added resulting from new production capacity, the Board of Directors of InTiCa Systems AG expects the group to achieve an earnings turnaround in 2011 and an EBIT margin of around 3 percent.

Despite of the present difficult selling situation on the solar markets and the heightened uncertainty in the euro zone, assuming at least a moderate economic growth, we currently expect a stable sales and earnings trend in 2012.

Various new developments will help us continue our successful product diversification strategy to generate sustained growth in both sales and earnings.

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 2010 and in the "Outlook" section of the report on the first three months of this year.
