Letter from the Chief Executive Officer.

Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders,

It is my pleasure that I report to you on an exceptionally successful first quarter of the fiscal year 2011/12. This interim report of Kapsch TrafficCom Group reflects remarkable increases in revenues and profit. In addition, we have worked intensively on strategically important projects in the three months from 1 April to 30 June 2011. In particular, I would like to highlight the start of the operation of the nationwide electronic toll collection system in Poland, the expansion of our business in the U.S.A. and the preparations for a capital increase in order to strengthen our financial basis for further growth. These three projects – which are all significant milestones for our fiscal year 2011/12 – were already concluded shortly after the end of the quarter.

The Kapsch TrafficCom Group achieved total revenues in the first quarter of 2011/12 amounting to EUR 134.7 million, once again doubling the revenues of the same period in the previous year. The EBIT increased disproportionately; at EUR 22.2 million, it reached nearly five times the value of EUR 4.8 million in the previous year. This placed the EBIT margin for the first quarter at 16.5% versus 7.3% in the corresponding period of the previous year. This accomplishment was supported by both the project business in the segment Road Solution Projects (RSP) as well as the recurring revenues in the segment Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC). For instance, the volume of on-board units (OBUs) delivered increased to 2.77 million units. We have therefore already achieved 50% of the previous year's total volume during the first quarter of this year.

These gains were made possible through the progress in ongoing projects as well as by our successful efforts in the U.S.A., in particular. With the purchase of the U.S., Canadian and Mexican businesses of Mark IV IVHS in November 2010, we laid an important strategic foundation for an increased presence in these regions.

In July of this year, we achieved a major success in expanding within this market when Kapsch TrafficCom IVHS was selected as supplier for a new ten-year technology and service contract by the E-Z Pass® Group, a consortium of 24 toll authorities in 14 U.S. states and thereby the world's largest provider of toll interoperability. This not only underscores our competence but above all confirms the value of the significant investments we

have made in recent years to enter this market. This order is of great significance to the Kapsch TrafficCom Group in terms of our business volume as well.

In April, we also signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Federal Signal Corporation, another large supplier in the U.S.A. In particular, the possibilities include jointly offering active and passive equipment at both the component and system levels. This could allow us in future to offer our North American customers interoperability from coast to coast in the form of a seamless portfolio of complete solutions.

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, we were also intensely involved in implementation of the electronic toll collection systems in Poland and South Africa. In a record time of less than eight months, a road network of roughly 1,560 km in Poland was outfitted with a comprehensive and modern electronic tolling solution that went into operation on July 3rd. We are proud to have succeeded in this challenge, even if a few tasks do remain for us to accomplish before the system is fully completed.

In the major project in South Africa – the installation and operation of an electronic toll collection system for multi-lane free-flow traffic in the Gauteng province – the legal framework for collection of tolls is currently being defined. This process is delaying the completion of the project, which is expected to take place in the last quarter of the calendar year.

At the end of July, we succeeded in obtaining yet another order. Kapsch TrafficCom was selected in Portugal for the installation, technical operation and maintenance of an electronic toll collection system for multi-lane freeflow traffic on 100 km of newly constructed road. The system for the Portuguese road operator ASCENDI should be realized in stages from October 2011 to October 2013.

In Russia, Kapsch TrafficCom Russia qualified in June 2011 for the final phase of an international tender process as part of a joint venture with Mostotrest, a leading Russian construction company for transport infrastructure. The decision for awarding of the long-term order for maintenance and refurbishment along the M4 Don Highway as well as for installation and operation of a toll collection system should be made in December 2011. The tender process for a nationwide electronic truck tolling system in Slovenia also began at the start of August, for which we are currently preparing our offer. Invitations to tender are also in preparation for nationwide toll collection systems in Hungary and Denmark.

In consideration of the outlook arising from the current projects and tender processes, we undertook a capital increase at the end of July in which 800,000 new shares were offered and placed with institutional investors at a price of EUR 61.25 per share. Not only were we able to increase our free float to over 35% in this way, but the gross proceeds of EUR 49 million from this measure strengthens our capital base to support us in the implementation of our strategy and secure our further growth. We also view the investor trust that made this transaction a success as a confirmation of our strategy.

Sincerely,

Georg Kapsch Chief Executive Officer

The Kapsch TrafficCom Share.

The price developments of the Kapsch TrafficCom shares exhibited a high level of volatility in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2011/12. Starting at a price of EUR 62.50 EUR on 31 March 2011, the shares experienced a significant upward trend in May followed by declines in June. Another strong increase began on 27 June 2011 with the publishing of the annual report. At the end of the quarter, the shares of Kapsch TrafficCom closed at EUR 61.79 EUR, roughly 1 percent below the final price of the previous quarter. The benchmark index ATX Prime also declined slightly over the quarter from 1 April to 30 June 2011, ending 4 percent below the level of the previous quarter, however with a lower amount of turbulence.

Based on the final price of the shares on 30 June 2011 of EUR 61.79, Kapsch TrafficCom had a market capitalization of EUR 753.8 million. At the end of the quarter, roughly 31.6% of the shares were in free float, while KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH held roughly 68.4%, unchanged from the previous quarter.

After the end of the reporting period, Kapsch TrafficCom undertook a capital increase in which 800,000 new shares were successfully placed with institutional investors at a price of EUR 61.25 EUR per share. This increased the share capital from EUR 12.2 million to EUR 13.0 million, and the free float (including the shares of Erwin Toplak, COO) increased to roughly 35.8%. The first trading day for the new shares was 1 August 2011.

Analysis of results and balance sheet.

Revenue and earnings.

The revenues of Kapsch TrafficCom Group were at EUR 134.7 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2011/12 (FY12-Q1), up by 103.3% from EUR 66.3 million compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year (FY11-Q1). This positive trend was attributable to both major segments of Road Solution Projects (RSP) and Services, System Extensions, Components Sales (SEC).

Revenues by segment in the first three months were as follows:

  • The segment RSP (Road Solution Projects) recorded revenues of EUR 54.8 million after EUR 23.4 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main driver for this positive development was the ongoing implementation of the nationwide truck toll collection system in Poland. Moreover, the South African Gauteng project, the implementation of the automatic fare collection system for public transportation in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa, and the realization of the Australian Airport Link project contributed increased revenues. In contrast to the previous year's period, no major extensions to the nationwide truck toll collection system in the Czech Republic were contracted or realized.
  • In the segment SEC (Services, System Extensions and Components Sales), revenues increased by 91.5% from EUR 41.0 million in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year to EUR 78.5 million this year. The most important factors for this development were the revenues from the pre-operations phase for the electronic toll collection system in the South African Gauteng project and the associated deliveries of on-board units (OBUs) as well as the revenues of the Canadian and American IVHS subsidiaries. The ongoing operations of the nationwide truck toll collection system in the Czech Republic also exhibited increased revenues.

The number of on-board units delivered reached the all-time high of 2.77 million units (FY11-Q1: 0.75 million units), attributable to the deliveries for the Gauteng project, the equipment of the nationwide truck toll collection system in Poland and the Mark IV IVHS subsidiaries acquired in November 2010.

■ The segment Others (OTH) recorded revenues of EUR 1.4 million (FY11-Q1: EUR 1.9 million), a decrease of 23.0%. Due to the groupinternal demand, external manufacturing orders were only accepted on a selective basis.

In the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group reported an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 22.2 million (FY11-Q1: EUR 4.8 million). Operating results by segment were as follows:

  • The segment RSP recorded an EBIT of EUR 3.5 million after EUR -2.6 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This represents an EBIT margin of 6.4%. Already in the first quarter, the segment RSP once again made a positive contribution to profit for the first time in two fiscal years. This is primarily attributed to the nationwide truck toll collection system in Poland.
  • The EBIT for the segment SEC was at EUR 18.5 million (FY11-Q1: EUR 7.3 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 23.6%, that was 5.7% higher than the previous year (FY11-Q1: 17.9%). This improvement mainly resulted from OBU sales by the IVHS subsidiaries.
  • The segment OTH showed a positive EBIT with EUR 0.2 million (FY11-Q1: EUR 0.1 million). The increased EBIT margin reflected the high degree of utilization.

Kapsch TrafficCom recorded a financial result of EUR -3.2 million in the period under consideration (FYJ11-Q1: EUR 1.0 million). Finance income decreased due to lower exchange rate gains. Finance costs rose as a result of the exchange rate losses, which largely remained

unrealized, increased interest expenses in connection with the corporate bond issued last year and financing of the nationwide truck toll collection project in Poland.

Financial position and cash flows.

With total assets of EUR 514.9 million as of 30 June 2011 (31 March 2011: EUR 450.1 million), up from the year before largely due to the project business, and a total equity of EUR 197.1 million, slightly above the value at the same point in the previous year, the Kapsch TrafficCom Group's equity ratio was at 38.3% as of 30 June 2011 (31 March 2011: 42.5%).

The most significant changes in assets were due to the increase in inventories by EUR 5.5 million compared to 31 March 2011 up to EUR 55.0 million, a change relating to the nationwide electronic truck toll collection system in Poland. The higher trade receivables and other current assets (30 June 2011: EUR 221.6 million; 31 March 2011: EUR 190.9 million) resulted predominantly from receivables in the project in Poland and the South African Gauteng project.

On the liabilities side, current financial liabilities increased from EUR 23.1 million to EUR 58.6 million due to utilization of the credit line for funding of the nationwide truck toll collection project in Poland. The rise in the trade payables by EUR 8.9 million resulted from liabilities in the two large-scale projects in Poland and South Africa. Liabilities to minority shareholders also led to an increase in other liabilities and deferred income.

Net cash flow from operating activities declined to EUR -5.8 million in the first three months of the current fiscal year compared to EUR 6.1 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase in trade receivables and other current assets, which also caused the increase in net working capital, could not be compensated by the improved operating result. The net cash flow from investing activities was largely impacted by the expansion of production facilities. The free cash flow declined to EUR -9.0 million after EUR 3.2 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The drawdown of a short-term credit for the project in Poland brought about a positive net cash flow from financing activities.

Cash and cash equivalents were increased from EUR 42.0 million as of 31 March 2011 to EUR 68.4 million as of 30 June 2011. The increase in cash and cash equivalents in the first three months of the current fiscal year could not compensate the rise of the short-term financial liabilities so that net debts increased from EUR 47.2 million as of 31 March 2011 to EUR 56.0 million as of 30 June 2011.

10. Income taxes.

Income taxes relate to current taxes and to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Applying the Austrian corporate tax rate of 25% to the Group's pre-tax result gives the theoretical value for the tax expense/income. The effective tax expense/ income differs from the above due to, among others, different tax regimes in the various countries, the treatment of tax losses, tax allowances and permanent differences.

After the first quarter of FY12 the effective tax rate is approximately 27% (first quarter of FY11: 23%). For the full year FY12, management expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
