Foreword by the Board of Directors

Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

The positive development of InTiCa Systems strengthened further in the second quarter. As we expected, in the first six months of this year we achieved EBIT of EUR 0.8 million and net income of EUR 0.4 million. The sales trend was above expectations, with growth of 64 percent in the first six months, illustrating the continued high demand for InTiCa Systems' products. Orders on hand total EUR 43 million and thus remain at a record level. As in previous quarters, the growth drivers were the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. The Communication Technology segment posted another rise in sales and positive earnings in the second quarter, greatly reducing the losses it had previously reported. The action taken to reduce costs further and lift volume sales are therefore starting to have an effect. For the full year we are therefore sticking to our forecast of an EBIT margin of around 3 percent and positive Group earnings.

In our view, the fact that all segments once again acquired new customers in the first six months of the year confirms the company's position on the market as an innovation leader. However, that requires continued selective investment to ensure that we remain competitive in the marketplace. Through our innovative products, which offer our customers high added value, we want to play our part in

creating intelligent solutions for the future-oriented energy efficiency and environmental technology trends. Successfully positioning our products in these markets will enable us to raise the value of the company and, at the same time, secure our role as a reliable partner for our customers.

InTiCa Systems is on course to meet those goals.

Passau, August 2011

Yours,

Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger Chairman of the Member of the Board of Directors Board of Directors

Group Management Report

for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2011

General economic conditions

The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) expects the positive development of the German economy to continue in 2011. Despite slower economic growth in the second quarter, it is forecasting growth of 3 percent for 2011 as a whole. For 2012 it still anticipates clear growth of 1.8 percent. The economic momentum in Germany is being driven mainly by high demand from fast-growing emerging markets for high-quality capital goods, but is increasingly becoming more broadly based. For instance, domestic capital expenditures in particular are providing growth impetus. According to the DIW, the global economic trend is set to slow slightly in the second half of the year as economic stimulus packages are coming to an end and rising inflation is resulting in more restrictive monetary policies, especially in emerging markets. Moreover, the ongoing debt crisis in the euro zone and the spectre of a US budget crisis represent further risks to the positive global economic trend.

InTiCa Systems' share price performance1)

Shares in InTiCa Systems AG made a good start to the first quarter 2011, with the share price rising from EUR 4.25 to EUR 5.10 in January. They then traded sideways at around EUR 5 in February, before dipping to EUR 4.01 in March in the wake of the natural disaster in Japan and the temporary

downturn on the world's capital markets. The share subsequently rallied and the price stabilized at above EUR 5. Following a slight downward correction, in June and July the share traded in a range between EUR 4.50 and EUR 5.00. At the start of August, the increasing uncertainty resulting from the European 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 3.22 on August 9, 2011. It subsequently recovered and was EUR 3.90 at the close of Xetra trading on August 17.

In the first six 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].

Earnings, asset and financial position

In the first half of 2011, the Group's earnings position improved further compared with the previous year. The dynamic growth in the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments continued, enabling the Group to lift sales roughly 64 percent to EUR 22.6 million (H1 2010: EUR 13.8 million). At the same time, EBIT increased to EUR 0.8 million (H1 2010: EUR 0.002 million) and net income was EUR 0.4 million at the end of the first six months. The equity ratio remained stable at a sound 47 percent in the first half of the year (December 31, 2010: 48 percent). In view of the increase in inventories and trade receivables resulting from the rise in sales, the Group registered a net cash outflow for operating activities of EUR 0.9 million. However, cash and cash equivalents were unchanged from December 31, 2010 at EUR 1.1 million.

Earnings position

The Group's sales advanced by about 64 percent to EUR 22.6 million in the first half of 2011, a substantial increase from EUR 13.8 million in H1 2010. The EUR 0.6 million drop in sales to EUR 5.7 million in the Communication Technology segment (H1 2010: EUR 6.3 million) was offset by a clear rise in sales in the Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments. The Industrial Electronics segment grew sales 183 percent to EUR 9.7 million (H1 2010: EUR 3.4 million) while sales surged 79 percent to EUR 7.2 million in the Automotive Technology segment (H1 2010: EUR 4.0 million). The Industrial Electronics segment now posts the highest sales in the InTiCa Systems Group.

Year-on-year the material expense ratio increased from 61 percent to 67 percent of total output, mainly because of the product portfolio. The personnel expense ratio was 14 percent (H1 2010: 21 percent). However, it should be noted that expenses of EUR 0.45 million for agency staff in the Czech Republic were shown under "Other expenses" in the reporting period. If these expenses are 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 2.3 million (H1 2010: EUR 2.0 million). Other expenses increased significantly from EUR 1.5 million in the prior year to EUR 2.3 million as expected. This was mainly due to the rise in freight costs and expenses for agency personnel resulting from the rise in sales.

R&D expenses amounted to EUR 1.3 million in H1 2011, around the same level as in the previous year (H1 2010: EUR 1.3 million).

EBITDA increased by around 58 percent year-on-year to EUR 3.2 million (H1 2010: EUR 2.0 million). Looking solely

at the second quarter, EBITDA increased by around 64 percent from EUR 1.1 million in Q2 2010 to EUR 1.8 million in Q2 2011.

EBIT also improved considerably compared with the previous year, from EUR 0.002 million to EUR 0.8 million. Reasons for this pleasing trend were the clear reduction in the loss in the Communication Technology segment to EUR 0.1 million (H1 2010: loss of EUR 0.6 million), due to process optimization and the focus on higher margin products, and the positive earnings contributions from the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments. EBIT rose from EUR 0.2 million to EUR 0.5 million in the Automotive Technology segment and from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.4 million in the Industrial Electronics segment. The EBIT margin was around 7 percent in Automotive Technology (H1 2010: 5 percent) and around 4 percent in Industrial Electronics (H1 2010: 10 percent). The decline in the margin in the Industrial Electronics segment was due to the need to raise inventories (finished goods and work in process are only valued at the cost of production) and the allocation of a higher proportion of overheads to this segment due to its higher share of sales.

The financial result was minus EUR 0.3 million in H1 2011 (H1 2010: minus EUR 0.2 million). Overall, net income was EUR 0.4 million at the end of the first six months (H1 2010: net loss of EUR 0.2 million). Earnings per share (diluted and undiluted) were thus EUR 0.09 (H1 2010: minus EUR 0.05).

Non-current assets

Since capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets were lower than the corresponding depreciation and amortization, non-current assets decreased slightly from EUR 26.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to EUR 25.4 million as of June 30, 2011.

Current assets

Current assets rose strongly in the first six months of 2011 from EUR 13.4 million to EUR 17.7 million. This was mainly due to the increase in inventories and trade receivables resulting from the higher business volume. Inventories increased from EUR 5.8 million to EUR 8.3 million in the reporting period due to customer orders, while trade receivables also rose from EUR 6.1 million to EUR 7.8 million due to the significant rise in sales. Cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 1.1 million on June 30, 2011 and were thus unchanged over the reporting period (December 31, 2010: EUR 1.1 million).

Liabilities

InTiCa Systems' current liabilities increased by around 32 percent from EUR 8.5 million to EUR 11.2 million in the first six months of 2011. This was mainly due to the increase in

current interest-bearing debt for the pre-financing of orders on hand from EUR 2.9 million to EUR 4.7 million, and a rise in trade payables from EUR 4.3 million to EUR 5.0 million. Repayment instalments decreased non-current interestbearing debt as scheduled in the reporting period from EUR 10.1 million to EUR 9.7 million.

Equity

The Group's equity rose roughly 7 percent from EUR 18.9 million as of December 31, 2010 to EUR 20.2 million as of June 30, 2011. Thanks to the sale of treasury stock and positive net income in the first six months, the capital reserve increased from EUR 14.4 million to EUR 15.4 million while treasury stock declined from EUR 0.21 million to EUR 0.06 million. In the same period, the currency translation reserve increased from EUR 0.4 to EUR 0.6 million. The equity ratio contracted slightly from 48 percent to 47 percent in the first six months owing to higher debt.

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The cash flow from operating activities was minus EUR 0.9 million in the first six months of 2011 (H1 2010: minus EUR 0.2 million). The outflow of funds was mainly attributable to the increase in inventories and trade receivables and to expenses for interest payments. Excluding interest payments, the cash outflow for operating activities was EUR 0.6 million (H1 2010: outflow of EUR 0.03 million).

The net cash outflow for investing activities declined from EUR 3.5 million in H1 2010 to EUR 1.2 million in H1 2011. Around EUR 0.4 million of the cash outflow was for capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment (H1 2010: outflow of EUR 2.5 million) while investment in intangible assets resulted in an outflow of EUR 0.8 million (H1 2010: outflow of EUR 1.1 million).

Thanks to the proceeds from the sale of treasury stock, the net cash inflow from financing activities was EUR 0.7 million, a substantial EUR 0.4 million higher than a year earlier (H1 2010: outflow of EUR 0.1 million). In the reporting period, outflows were exclusively for repayment instalments on loans (EUR 0.35 million).

Cash and cash equivalents less current account credit lines drawn amounted to minus EUR 2.9 million as of June 30, 2010 (H1 2010: EUR 0.2 million). Moreover, InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 4.0 million.

Employees

The number of employees decreased from 447 as of December 31, 2100 to 431 as of June 30, 2011 (including temporary staff in both cases). The average headcount in the first half of 2011 was 446.

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 June 30, 2011.

Outlook

At present the Board of Directors sees no reason to alter its guidance for fiscal 2011, including its sales forecasts for the Group and the individual segments, given in the report on the first three months of 2011. The Board of Directors still expects sales of over EUR 40 million in 2011 which corresponds to a growth of more than 35% compared to fiscal 2010. The high-growth Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments are expected to account for around 79 percent of consolidated sales in 2011.

Orders on hand increased from around EUR 24 million on June 30, 2010 to over EUR 42.5 million as of June 30, 2011 so it is highly likely that the Group will achieve its sales target for fiscal 2011.

In view of the successful expansion of the product range, the positive development of orders on hand, 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. For 2012 the Board of Directors assumes further growth in sales and earnings provided that the economic trend remains positive.

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.

The consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2011, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", use the same accounting policies and valuation methods as the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2010, which were drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards valid as of the reporting date, as applicable for use in the European Union, and the relevant Interpretations. A detailed overview can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statements in the annual report for 2010.

This is available at Investor Relations/Publications on the company's website at http://www.intica-systems.de.

Scope of consolidation

There has been no change in the scope of consolidation of InTiCa Systems AG compared with fiscal 2010. Alongside the parent company in Passau, Germany, the consolidated interim financial statements include two foreign subsidiaries, InTiCa Systems Ges.mbH, Neufelden, Austria, and InTiCa Systems s.r.o., Prachatice, Czech Republic. The parent company has a stake of 100% in both subsidiaries.
