InTiCa Systems in the first six months of 2009 Foreword by the Board of Directors

Dear shareholders, employees and business associates,

At InTiCa Systems AG, the first six months of 2009 were dominated by the global economic crisis, which had a major impact on sales and earnings. The drop in demand was particularly noticeable in the Communication Technology segment, where sales receded by roughly EUR 5.9 million year-on-year. Group sales contracted by EUR 5.7 million year-on-year to EUR 11.3 million.

Action introduced in 2008 to raise efficiency and cut costs ensured a considerable reduction in personnel and material expenses. At the same time, an increase in value-added at our facility in Prachatice, Czech Republic, led to better utilization of equipment and top-quality production.

As a consequence, the Automotive Technology and Industrial Electronics segments both broke even despite the difficult economic situation. EBITDA was also positive at EUR 1.1 million and was actually slightly above the year-back level.

The Industrial Electronics and Automotive Technology segments are developing in line with our expectations and orders on hand have increased perceptibly compared with last year. In the medium term the successful development of these two segments should greatly reduce the company's present dependence on the Communication Technology segment.

New orders were secured in particular for components to reduce CO2 and systems for regenerative energy.

In the light of present orders and numerous enquiries about new projects we are confident that we will be able to achieve our ambitious medium-term target of growing sales by 30-40% p.a. in both segments.

The Board of Directors expects that in the second half of the year sales will be higher than in the first six months. It is confirming its expectation of a passable, positive EBITDA.

Passau, August 2009

Yours,

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

Group Management Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2009

General economic conditions

There was a further dramatic deterioration in the global economic situation in the period under review. However, there are increasing signs that the deep downtrend in the German economy may have bottomed out. Alongside brighter sentiment indicators, news about the global economy is also improving.

Nevertheless, it is important not to overplay this trend. InTiCa Systems assumes that the recovery will prove gradual and modest when it starts and many companies are still facing the need for painful yet necessary adjustments. The sharp economic downturn has been accompanied by a massive drop in capacity utilization. Capacity utilization in German manufacturing industry dropped to 71% in the second quarter of this year, 16 percentage points lower than in the second quarter of 2008. That was a new all-time low and thus consistent with the general crisis. The effects were particularly severe in the metalproducing sector (-31 percentage points year-on-year), the automotive industry (-33 percentage points) and mechanical engineering (-20 percentage points). Since we do not anticipate a rapid recovery, companies need to align capacity to order volume.

As a result, there is a clear reluctance to undertake new investments or capacity expansions in many sectors and companies are prioritizing cost optimization and efficiency enhancement. The reduction in production capacity will also put considerable pressure on the labour market and rising unemployment is likely to dampen consumer spending.

The InTiCa Systems-stock1)

While the financial and economic crisis held back investors' confidence on the international capital markets in the first quarter of this year, the second quarter saw a broadly based recovery on the equity markets, driven by a marked improvement in sentiment in the wake of extensive stimulus from governments and central banks and hopes of an economic recovery in the short term. Although the DAX index ended the first six months without making any gains – in fact it was 0.1% lower than at year-end 2008 – it had almost completely recovered from the sharp losses sustained in the first quarter. InTiCa Systems' share price developed positively in these conditions. The share was trading at EUR 1.29 at the start of the year but rallied significantly in March and April to over EUR 3.00 at times. The shares also benefited from the more positive outlook for the company. At the close of trading on the electronic XETRA system on August 14, 2009, shares in InTiCa Systems were EUR 3.00.

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. The press conference to mark the publication of our annual report for 2008 and the Annual General Meeting attracted a good deal of interest. The German texts of the presentations and talks are available on our homepage at Investor Relations/Publications and Investor Relations/Annual General Meeting.

Approval of the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of InTiCa Systems AG was held in Passau, Germany, on June 5, 2009. All resolutions put forward by the management were approved. Dr. Walter Hasselkus, who had been appointed to the Supervisory Board by a decision of the district court, was confirmed in his post. He has been Chairman of the Supervisory Board since January 1, 2009.

Earnings, asset and financial position

The Group's earnings, asset and financial position is still dominated by external factors resulting from the economic downturn and by internal restructuring. Liquid assets and equity declined in the reporting period and the operating cash flow was negative in the first half of the year, mainly because of an increase in receivables and inventories and a reduction in the supply of goods and services. The increase in receivables was chiefly connected with the expansion of the customer base in the automotive industry and the longer payment terms customary in this sector. The higher inventories were principally due to contractually agreed stocks of goods for customers with take-off obligations.

Earnings position

The reduction in sales from EUR 17.1 million to EUR 11.3 million in the reporting period was mainly due to the far lower volume of business in the Communication Technology segment, which accounted for EUR 7.8 million of consolidated sales in the first six months of 2009 (H1 2008: EUR 13.7 million). The sharp drop in orders from the telecommunications industry, which was attributable to economic and competitive factors, had a clear impact. The Automotive Technology segment reported sales of EUR 3.0 million in the first half of 2009 despite the tough business conditions (H1 2008: EUR 3.1 million). The Industrial Electronics segment grew strongly, driven by a solid improvement in orders, and reported sales of around EUR 0.6 million (H1 2008: EUR 0.2 million).

The material cost ratio declined from 75% in H1 2008 to 67% in H1 2009, reflecting effective action to cut costs. Personnel expenses were reduced considerably from EUR 3.3 million in H1 2008 to EUR 2.4 million in H1 2009. This was principally due to the reduction in the average headcount following shutdown of the site in Greece and the changes on the Board of Directors. Depreciation and amortization resulting from past and ongoing investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets remained constant at around EUR 1.7 million (H1 2008: EUR 1.7 million). Other expenses declined to EUR 1.4 million in H1 2009, down from EUR 1.5 million in H1 2008.

Research and development expenses amounted to EUR 1.2 million in the first six months of 2009. That was slightly above the year-back level of EUR 1.1 million.

EBITDA remained positive at EUR 1.12 million, which was a slight improvement from the EUR 1.10 million reported in H1 2008. In Q2 2009 EBITDA was around EUR 0.7 million, up from EUR 0.5 million in the first quarter.

However, Group EBIT was negative at minus EUR 0.6 million in the first half of 2009 (H1 2008: minus EUR 0.6 million).

The Automotive Technology segment and Industrial Electronics, which is reported under "Other", both posted a profit for the first time in the second quarter of 2009. EBIT was EUR 0.06 million in the Automotive Technology segment (H1 2008: minus EUR 0.2 million) and EUR 0.01 million in Industrial Electronics (H1 2008: minus EUR 0.1 million).

Net income for the Group was minus EUR 0.8 million (H1 2008: minus EUR 0.9 million). Earnings per share were minus EUR 0.19 (H1 2008: minus EUR 0.20).

Non-current assets

Non-current assets increased slightly as a result of the capitalization of development costs and other investments in intangible assets and the increase in deferred taxes, rising 2% from EUR 22.0 million as of December 31, 2008 to EUR 22.5 million as of June 30, 2009.

Current assets

Within current assets, trade receivables increased to EUR 5.8 million as of June 30, 2008, up from EUR 4.9 million as of December 31, 2008. Moreover, customer orders boosted inventories from EUR 2.6 million as of December 31, 2008 to EUR 3.5 million as of June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from EUR 10.4 million as of December 31, 2008 to EUR 7.1 million as of June 30, 2009 was attributable to prefinancing for which payment has not yet been received.

Liabilities

Trade payables decreased by around EUR 1.2 million to EUR 2.9 million. Current interest-bearing liabilities increased from EUR 1.2 million as of December 31, 2008 to around EUR 2.5 million as of June 30, 2009 due to the utilization of credit lines.

Equity

Equity was EUR 21.1 million on June 30, 2009 compared with EUR 21.5 million on December 31, 2008. The reduction of around EUR 0.4 million was mainly due to negative interim earnings, but this was mitigated by positive exchange differences from the Czech subsidiary. The equity ratio increased slightly from 53.4% as of December 31, 2008 to 53.7% as of June 30, 2009 because total assets declined faster than equity, from EUR 40.2 million to EUR 39.3 million in the reporting period.

Liquidity and cash flow statement

The cash flow from operating activities was minus EUR 2.4 million in the first six months of 2009 (H1 2008: EUR 0.4 million). The main factors here were the net loss for the period, outstanding contractual payments, an increase in inventories and a decrease in trade payables.

The net cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 1.9 million in the reporting period, compared with a net inflow of EUR 7.3 million in H1 2008. The high prior-year figure was due to reclassification of securities.

The net cash outflow for financing activities was EUR 0.1 million and thus below the year-back figure (H1 2008: cash inflow of EUR 1.0 million) because no new loans were taken out in the reporting period as they were in H1 2008 and repayment instalments of EUR 0.1 million were made.

Cash and cash equivalents less current account credit lines drawn amounted to EUR 4.8 million as of June 30, 2009 (H1 2008: EUR 9.2 million).

Employees

The number of employees was reduced from 293 to 241 as scheduled as of December 31, 2008 due to the closure of the site in Greece. Further headcount adjustments in the first six months of this year reduced the number of employees to 226 as of June 30, 2009.

Risks and opportunities

The management report in the annual report for 2008 provides full details of risk factors that could affect the business performance of InTiCa Systems in section 16 "Risk management and risk report" while business potential is discussed in section 17 "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 significant events have occurred since the reporting date.

Outlook

Fiscal 2009 will bring considerable changes at InTiCa Systems to create a sound basis for profitable growth in the future. Last year the Board of Directors initiated extensive measures to adapt cost structures and diversify the product portfolio. The aim is to provide a viable basis for profitable growth in the future, supported by a positive cash flow and stable sales. The Board of Directors still assumes that over the year as a whole sales will stabilize and there will be a considerable improvement in earnings.

Information on the expectations for the individual segments is set out in section 19 "Outlook" in the management report published in the annual report for 2008.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2009

Accounting based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2009, 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 2008, 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 2008. Deviations from these accounting and valuation policies are outlined below.

One significant change required by the revised version of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements", which came into effect on January 1, 2009, is the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income in the financial statements. InTiCa Systems AG complies with this using the two-statement approach. This entails presentation of a separate statement of comprehensive income. The company also publishes an income statement. In the statement of changes in consolidated equity, comprehensive income is shown as a line item.

The annual report for 2008 is available at Investor Relations/ Publications on the company's website at http://www.inticasystems.de.

Scope of consolidation

The scope of consolidation of InTiCa Systems AG has not altered compared with fiscal 2008. This interim report still comprises the parent company and three foreign subsidiaries. The parent company has a stake of 100% in all the subsidiaries.

Income statement

Despite the sharp drop in sales in the reporting period, as in the previous year EBITDA was positive at EUR 1,117 thousand (H1 2008: EUR 1,103 thousand). This was principally attributable to action to cut costs, which mainly affected personnel expense (28% decline from EUR 3,324 thousand to EUR 2,406 thousand) and the material cost ratio (which dropped from 75% to 67%).

Consolidated balance sheet and cash flow statement

The capital stock of InTiCa Systems AG comprises EUR 4,287,000 and is divided into 4,287,000 no-par bearer shares, which constitute a theoretical pro rata share of the capital stock of EUR 1.00 per share. As a result of outgoings for the provision of goods and services, which exceeded receipts in the reporting period, cash and cash equivalents declined from EUR 10,362 thousand to EUR 7,102 thousand. Inventories increased by EUR 961 thousand, trade receivables rose by EUR 927 thousand and trade payables decreased by EUR 1,177 thousand.
