Letter from the Chief Executive Offi cer.

Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Offi cer Erwin Toplak, Chief Operating Offi cer

Dear shareholders,

I am pleased to report a good start to the 2007/08 fi scal year. Revenues in the fi rst quarter advanced 24% to EUR 33.8 million and EBIT adjusted for non-recurring items 46% to EUR 4.4 million compared with last year. This was mainly attributable to the high volume of components sales. Developments in the Czech Republic are highly positive: since the launch of phase 1 of the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic on 1 January 2007 we supplied a total of 271,700 on-board units (OBUs) as of the end of the fi rst quarter. The strong results in the fi rst quarter were boosted also by recurring revenues from the technical and commercial operation of the Czech system.

The highlight of the fi rst quarter was without a doubt the Company's successful stock exchange listing. The offering of 3.7 million shares (including greenshoe shares) was approximately 14 times oversubscribed. In response to heavy demand the offer price was set at EUR 32, at the upper limit of the EUR 29 to EUR 32 price range. We were surprised by the strong demand from Austrian private investors. The roadshow put us in contact with over 150 large investors and involved 45 one-on-one meetings and conference calls, and a further 10 group meetings over a period of nine days, and took us to 10 cities in seven different countries. It generated orders from top institutional investors especially in Austria, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland. I should like to take this opportunity to thank all our investors for the confi dence they have placed in us.

Strong fi rst quarter operating results with revenue up by 24%, adjusted fi rst quarter EBIT up 46% compared with the same period in 2006/07

Successful listing approx. 14 times oversubscribed We were particularly pleased with the favourable response to the employee share ownership scheme, which was open to all employees of the Kapsch Group in Austria, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. In total, 456 Kapsch Group employees joined the scheme, subscribing for shares with a value in excess of EUR 2.5 million, so that their aggregate interest in Kapsch Traffi cCom AG on the fi rst day of listing amounted to about 1% of the share capital.

In addition to the strong operating results and the stock exchange listing, the Group's overall operational performance was also encouraging. We successfully prequalifi ed for upgrading the London City Charging Scheme and offi cially presented our "Kapsch Area" solution to the markets in June. This hybrid solution combines the advantages of microwave technology (DSRC) with satellite technologies (GPS/GSM). It is described in detail in the IPO prospectus under its then working title "GPS light".

Assuming positive macroeconomic developments and based on the growing interest worldwide in toll systems solutions and traffi c telematics, we look optimistically into the future.

Successful prequalifi cation for upgrading the London City Charging Scheme

Looking forward with optimism

Kinde regards,

Georg Kapsch

Analysis of results and balance sheet.

Revenues and earnings

First quarter revenues of EUR 33.8m were up by EUR 6.5m, or 24%, compared with the same period in 2006/07.

Revenue growth was driven by Phase I of the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic becoming operational on 1 January 2007: revenues from this project increased from EUR 4.7m to EUR 10.7m in the fi rst quarter of the 2007/08 fi scal year. The increase was also attributable to revenue gains compared with the same period last year in a range of countries including Argentina, Australia, Chile, Denmark, Spain and Switzerland.

Broken down by segments, revenues were as follows:

  • For the Road Solutions Projects (RSP) segment, revenues of EUR 7.3m were slightly down on the comparable quarter last year (EUR 7.6m). This stable performance is attributable to projects in Australia, Chile and the Czech Republic.
  • Revenues for the Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC) segment were up from EUR 15.9m to EUR 23.4m. This EUR 7.6m increase – more than 47% – is chiefl y attributable to the commercial operation and component sales arising from Phase I of the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic, and to follow-up business in Chile.
  • At EUR 3.9m, revenues for the Others (OTH) segment was slightly below the level achieved in the fi rst quarter of 2006/07 (EUR 3.9m).

First quarter operating expenses in 2007/08 increased across the board compared with the same period in 2006/07, up by EUR 11.4m or 47%. This largely refl ects the build-up of resources ahead of the implementation and operation of Phase 1 of the nationwide truck tolling system in the Czech Republic. Other factors behind the increase were the acquisition of two South American subsidiaries in May 2006 whose expenses was not fully refl ected in the report on the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2006/07, and the costs of the stock exchange listing.

Consolidated profi t for the period before income taxes was up signifi cantly, by 32% to EUR 3.9m. Operating results by segment were as follows:

  • RSP's EBIT scaled back to EUR 0.1m. This is largely attributable to preparatory work on tenders for upcoming large-scale projects in Central and Eastern Europe.
  • SEC's fi rst quarter EBIT was up by EUR 1.7m on the same period a year earlier, to EUR 3.9m. This improvement refl ects additional operation, service and components business.
  • For the OTH segment a reasonable performance resulted in an improvement in EBIT of EUR 0.2m.

Profi t before tax rose from EUR 3.1m to EUR 4.0m. Profi t after tax from continuing operations for the period increased from EUR 2.2m to EUR 2.9m and profi t for the period rose from EUR 1.8m auf EUR 2.9m.

Financial position and cash fl ows

As a result of its successful IPO, Kapsch Traffi c Com AG's balance sheet as at 30 June 2007 has undergone material changes . The IPO has resulted in a signifi cant improvement in the liquidity position (cash and cash equivalents of EUR 69.9m greatly exceed the fi nancial liabilities of EUR 28.2m, which were reduced in the fi rst three month of the fi scal year 2007/08).

The successful IPO has meant that even after the reduction of EUR 4.5m in fi nancial liabilities and of EUR 8.4m in current liabilities the Group's liquid assets have still increased by EUR 49.5m.

Equity increased to EUR 106.7m, equal to an equity ratio of 39%. The Group's total assets amount of the balance sheet rose to EUR 275.8m. The Group has a sound fi nancial base which can be used to fi nance possible large-scale future projects and to acquire possible strategically interesting companies.
