Foreword by the Board of Directors

Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

The first half of 2013 was a successful period for InTiCa Systems AG in spite of the market uncertainty resulting from the ongoing euro crisis. Although prospects for the important Automotive Technology and Industrial Technology segments were affected by the general deterioration in the economic situation in Germany, we grew both sales and earnings considerably compared with the first six months of last year. While Group sales increased 8.5 percent to EUR 19.5 million, EBIT more than doubled to around EUR 0.7 million, giving an EBIT margin of 3.6 percent, above the target of 3.0 percent. Net profit for the period was also far higher at EUR 0.4 million in the first six months of 2013.

The most important segment is still Automotive Technology, which grew 17 percent in the first six months and strengthened its share of sales of over 50 percent of the total. Our progressive shift from a components supplier to a solutions provider is increasingly paying off. Our products are now used in more than 250 models produced by 19 automobile manufacturers. In addition, the Industrial Electronics segment returned to profit, even though sales shrank by nearly 10 percent due to the difficult situation faced by customers in the solar industry. The situation in the Communication Technology segment was quite different: as in the first six months of 2012, although sales grew by 25 percent the operating profit was slightly negative.

The positive overall trend was clouded by mounting challenges in some areas of business. For instance, in the first six months of 2013 the German automotive market was weaker than expected. New registrations declined considerably as customers put off purchasing new cars in the wake of the euro crisis. In the Communications Technology segment, tougher competition from Asia put pressure on prices and margins. The implications can be seen from the current situation in the solar market, which is important for the Industrial Electronics segment. In this sector, many suppliers are fighting for survival.

In order to continue to grow successfully in these difficult conditions we are systematically driving forward the repositioning of all segments from component suppliers to solution providers. That involves introducing new customerspecific products and solutions, increasing vertical integration still further, and stepping up sales by raising diversification. Our half-year results show that this is the right strategy. Overall, in terms of costs and products the company is well-positioned. In addition, all three segments have opportunities to gain access to further markets. This is

reflected in the increase in orders on hand to EUR 36 million as of June 30, 2013, around 20 percent higher than last year.

Passau August, 2013

Yours,

Chairman of the Member of the

Walter Brückl Günther Kneidinger Board of Directors Board of Directors

Interim Management Report of the Group

for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2013

General economic conditions

The global economy is still firmly in the grip of the debt crisis. In July the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its forecast for global growth in 2013 from 3.3 percent to 3.1 percent due to declining domestic demand, coinciding with a drop in growth in important emerging markets, and the heightened recession in Europe. According to the IMF report, economic output in the euro zone is likely to contract by 0.6 percent in 2013. In April, the experts still expected the decline to be just 0.4 percent. The German economy is clearly feeling the effects of the headwind: the IMF experts halved their outlook for Germany from 0.6 percent to 0.3 percent.

In parallel with the general economic situation, the markets of relevance to InTiCa Systems – the automotive industry, industrial electronics and communications technology – are facing mounting challenges. For instance, according to figures published by the German automotive industry association VDA, the German automotive market was weaker than expected in the first six months of 2013. The number of new car registrations was down 8 percent while new commercial vehicle registrations fell 10 percent. Although the VDA still expects the sector to grow by 2 percent worldwide this year, driven by purchases in the USA and China, in Germany the uncertainty resulting from the ongoing euro crisis makes customers reluctant to buy new vehicles.

Sales also fell in the electronics industry in the first six months of this year. The decline was especially marketed in the photovoltaic market, which is particularly important for InTiCa Systems' Industrial Electronics segment. The German Engineering Federation (VDMA) reports that in the first quarter of 2013 alone manufacturers of components, tools and equipment for photovoltaics saw sales plunge nearly 35 percent year-on-year. According to the Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railways (Bundesnetzagentur), capacity expansion dropped by 42 percent. The principal cause was overcapacity and the ongoing market uncertainty resulting from changes in the sector framework and a large number of trade disputes in the solar sector.

Only the telecomunications industry is anticipating slight growth in 2013. The Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM) forecasts that market volume will increase by 1.3 percent. 61 percent of communications technology producers expect to report higher sales in the first half of 2013.

InTiCa Systems' share price performance1)

The share price performance was positive in the first six months of 2013 and the share price rose by around 11 percent in the reporting period. Shares started the year at EUR 2.90 on January 2. Over the following month they traded in a range of EUR 2.80 to EUR 3.30 in highly volatile market conditions. The price dropped to a low for the period of EUR 2.80 on May 13, 2013. Positive quarterly results at the end of May boosted the price considerably to a high of EUR 3.45 on May 31. It then slipped back slightly. At the close of Xetra trading on August 9, 2013, the share price was EUR 3.25.

In the first six months of 2013 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 in Passau on July 5, 2013, shareholders were given information on fiscal 2012 and the present situation at InTiCa Systems AG. As usual, the presentations given at this year's AGM can be downloaded from Investor Relations/Annual General Meeting on the company's homepage [available in German only].

Earnings, asset and financial position

The Group grew sales by around 8.5 percent year-on-year to EUR 19.5 million in the first six months of 2013. While the material and personnel cost ratios were almost constant, the increase in sales compared with the first six months of 2012 resulted in a considerable rise in earnings. EBITDA increased from EUR 2.5 million to EUR 3.0 million and EBIT grew from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.7 million. In line with this, the EBITDA margin improved from 13.7 percent to 15.5 percent and the EBIT margin increased from 1.7 percent to 3.6 percent. While the Automotive Technology and Communication Technology segments grew sales by 17 percent and 25 percent respectively, in the Industrial Electronics segment sales slipped 10 percent as a result of the negative trend in the solar industry. Despite this, the segment was able to move back into profit.

The equity ratio declined slightly year-on-year from 56 percent to 55 percent, mainly because current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 1.2 million to EUR 2.5 million in connection with financing for the increase in sales. The operating cash flow was slightly positive at EUR 81 thousand. However, overall there was a cash outflow of EUR 2.0 million in the reporting period (H1 2012: inflow of EUR 1.2 million) due to higher investment in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as well as the repayment instalments on loans and leasing rates.

Earnings position

In the first six months of 2013, Group sales increased by 8.5 percent to EUR 19.5 million, up from EUR 18.0 million in the first half of 2012. While sales were nearly 10 percent lower in the Industrial Electronics segment at EUR 5.8 million (H1 2012: EUR 6.4 million), the Communication Technology and Automotive Technology segments both posted a considerable improvement. In the first six months of 2013, the Communication Technology segment grew sales 25 percent to EUR 3.2 million (H1 2012: EUR 2.5 million) and sales in the Automotive Technology segment increased 17 percent to EUR 10.6 million (H1 2012: EUR 9.0 million).

Expenses increased in line with the rise in sales. Expenditures for raw materials and supplies increased by a good 12 percent in the reporting period to EUR 12.0 million (H1 2012: EUR 10.6 million). However, the ratio of material costs to total output was essentially stable year-on-year, with only a minimal change from 59.2 percent to 59.6 percent. The personnel expense ratio (including temporary workers) declined slightly year-on-year from 19.2 percent to 18.0 percent, although the average number of employees increased significantly (from 414 to 433) due to the good order situation. Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment totalled EUR 2.3 million in the first six months of 2013 (H1 2012: EUR 2.2 million). The other expenses were virtually constant at EUR 2.0 million. Expenses for research and development were also unchanged at EUR 1.1 million in the reporting period. Overall, the increase in EBITDA in the first six months of 2013 was even higher, rising 22 percent from EUR 2.5 million to EUR 3.0 million. The EBITDA margin therefore increased from 13.7 percent to 15.5 percent. InTiCa Systems AG posted a strong improvement in operating profit in the reporting period: Group EBIT increased to EUR 0.7 million, which was more than double the prior period level (H1 2012: EUR 0.3 million). The EBIT margin also improved from 1.7 percent to 3.6 percent. It should be noted that the Industrial Electronics segment returned to profit. This segment's EBIT was EUR 0.3 million in the first six months of 2013, compared with minus EUR 28 thousand in the first half of 2012. The Automotive Technology segment continued to develop positively, reporting EBIT of EUR 0.7 million in the first six months of 2013 (H1 2012: EUR 0.6 million). Only the Communication Technology posted slightly negative EBIT of minus EUR 0.3 million in the reporting period, as in the first six months of 2012.

The financial result was minus EUR 0.2 million in the reporting period (H1 2012: minus EUR 0.3 million). Taking into account tax expense of EUR 0.1 million (H1 2012: tax income of EUR 32 thousand), the interim result for the Group in the first six months of 2013 was EUR 0.4 million (H1 2012: EUR 0.1 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.08 (H1 2012: EUR 0.02).

As a result of currency translation losses of EUR 0.3 million (H1 2012: gains of EUR 49 thousand) from the translation of foreign business operations, comprehensive income was EUR 16 thousand in the first six months of 2013 (H1 2012: EUR 0.1 million).

Non-current assets

In the reporting period, capital expenditures for intangible assets, property, plant and equipment were lower than depreciation and amortization. As of June 30, 2013, non-current assets therefore decreased to EUR 19.6 million (December 31, 2012: EUR 20.9 million).

Current assets

Current assets rose from EUR 12.6 million to EUR 15.7 million in the first six months of 2013. As a result of the positive sales trend, inventories increased from EUR 6.2 million to EUR 7.8 million and trade receivables rose from EUR 4.7 million to EUR 6.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents declined from EUR 1.4 million to EUR 1.0 million in the reporting period.

Liabilities

In view of the increase in capital requirements resulting from the good business trend, current liabilities increased from EUR 3.3 million as of December 31, 2012 to EUR 5.4 million as of June 30, 2013. Current liabilities to banks rose from EUR 1.1 million to EUR 2.5 million and trade payables increased from EUR 1.3 million to EUR 1.6 million in the reporting period. As a result of scheduled repayment instalments for non-current loans, noncurrent liabilities to banks decreased from EUR 8.9 million to EUR 8.8 million in the reporting period. In all, non-current liabilities therefore dropped from EUR 10.6 million to EUR 10.3 million.

Equity

The company's equity remained almost constant at EUR 19.5 million in the first six months of 2013. While the profit reserve increased from EUR 60 thousand to EUR 0.4 million in the reporting period thanks to the positive period result, the currency translation reserve to offset differences in currency translation changed from minus EUR 0.1 million as of December 31, 2012 to minus EUR 0.5 million as of June 30, 2013. Total assets increased from EUR 33.4 million as of December 31, 2012 to EUR 35.3 million, so the equity ratio decreased slightly from 58% to 55%.

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The cash flow for operating activities was EUR 0.08 million in the first six months of 2013 (H1 2012: EUR 1.5 million). In view of the positive sales trend, there was a considerable increase in trade receivables and especially in inventories compared with the same period of 2012. Excluding interest payments, the cash inflow from operating activities was EUR 0.3 million (H1 2012: EUR 1.7 million).

There was a net cash inflow of EUR 0.1 million for investing activities, compared with a cash outflow of EUR 1.6 million in the prior-year period. The change was due, on the one hand, to higher investment in property, plant and equipment in the reporting period (EUR 0.9 million compared with EUR 0.7 million in H1 2012) and, on the other hand, to the scheduled repayment of a EUR 1.5 million bonded loan in the previous year. Capital expenditures for intangible assets were almost unchanged at EUR 0.7 million.

The net cash flow for financing activities hardly changed in the first six months of 2013 compared with the first six months of 2012, with a cash outflow of EUR 0.4 million. In the reporting period, cash outflows related solely to scheduled loan repayment instalments totalling EUR 0,37 million and leasing expenses of EUR 0.04 million.

Overall, there was a cash outflow of EUR 2.0 million in the first six months of 2013 (H1 2012: inflow of EUR 1.2 million). As a result, cash and cash equivalents (less overdraft facilities drawn) declined from EUR 0.7 million in the prior-year period to minus EUR 1.0 million as of June 30, 2013. Irrespective of this, InTiCa Systems has assured credit facilities which can be drawn at any time totalling EUR 4.2 million.

Employees

The number of employees decreased slightly from 434 as of December 31, 2012 to 430 as of June 30, 2013 (including temporary staff in both cases). On average, the Group had 433 employees in the reporting period (H1 2012: 414).

Risks and opportunities

The management report in the annual report for 2012 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, 2013.

Outlook

Although the overall economic situation remains difficult and the cyclical outlook is uncertain, the Board of Directors assumes that the positive trend seen in the first two quarters will continue throughout 2013. It expects that the Automotive Technology

segment will continue to drive sales and earnings. The Board of Directors anticipates a drop in sales in the Industrial Electronics segment. In the medium term, regenerative energy sources and further new developments should once again provide growth impetus. The company is developing various innovative products to counter the deterioration in business conditions in the Communication Technology segment caused by rising competition and increasing price pressure. 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 2012.

Overall, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that in terms of costs and products the company is well-positioned. Customerspecific solutions, combined with increased vertical integration and systems solution competence, give InTiCa Systems a key competitive advantage. In addition, all three segments have new products that should give them opportunities to gain access to further markets. This is reflected in the increase in orders on hand to EUR 36 million as of June 30, 2013, around 20 percent higher than at the end of June 2012.

For 2013 as a whole, at present the Board of Directors therefore still assumes that, providing overall economic growth is at least moderate, there will be a perceptible rise in sales and earnings. Overall, the Board of Directors expects Group sales in 2013 to be close to EUR 40 million, with an EBITDA margin of around 15% and an EBIT margin of around 3%.

Segment information

The notes to the consolidated financial statements in the annual report for 2012 contain a detailed overview of the assets allocated to each segment.

There has not been any material change in the assets allocated to the segments since December 31, 2012.

Consolidated Income statement / statement of comprehensive income

In the first six months of 2013, Group sales increased to EUR 19,540 thousand, up from EUR 18,006 thousand in the first six months of 2012. The 8.5 percent rise was mainly due to the positive sales trend in the Automotive Technology and Communication Technology segments, whereas sales slipped slightly in the Industrial Electronics segment. Analogously to the sales trend, EBITDA increased from EUR 2,474 thousand to EUR 3,029 thousand. Comprehensive income at the end of the first six months declined from EUR 142 thousand to EUR 16 thousand due to translation losses on the currency translation of foreign business operations.

Consolidated balance sheet and cash flow statement

The capital stock of InTiCa Systems AG is EUR 4,287,000 and is divided into 4,287,000 no-par bearer shares with a theoretical pro rata share of the capital stock of EUR 1.00 per share. With an equity ratio of around 55 percent (December 31, 2012: 58 percent), the company is still soundly financed.

The slight reduction in the equity ratio is attributable to higher capital requirements resulting from the positive business performance in the first half of 2013. Consequently, current liabilities to banks increased from EUR 1,072 thousand to EUR 2,469 thousand in the reporting period while trade payables increased from EUR 1,347 thousand to EUR 1,612 thousand. By contrast, non-current liabilities to banks declined from EUR 8.931 thousand to EUR 8,761 thousand as a result of scheduled repayment instalments. Overall, non-current liabilities therefore dropped from EUR 10,575 thousand to EUR 10,332 thousand.

The net cash flow from operating activities decreased from EUR 1,468 thousand to EUR 81 thousand in the first half of 2013. The total cash outflow was EUR 1,969 thousand in the reporting period (2012: inflow of EUR 1,219 thousand). Cash and cash equivalents therefore declined from EUR 984 thousand as of December 31, 2012 to minus EUR 986 thousand as of June 30, 2013. Given the increase in sales, inventories increased from EUR 6,172 thousand to EUR 7,814 thousand in the reporting period. In line with this, trade receivables increased from EUR 4,722 thousand to EUR 6,385 thousand.

Authorized capital

The Board of Directors is authorized by a resolution of the Annual General Meeting of July 6, 2012 to increase the capital stock with the Supervisory Board's consent, up to July 5, 2017, by a total of up to EUR 2,143,500.00 in return for cash or contributions in kind under exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights (authorized capital 2012/I).
