Roth & Rau firms up expectations for the 2007 financial year – Budgeted
sales of around Euro 100 million

Hohenstein-Ernstthal, 30 March 2007 – Roth & Rau AG has budgeted sales of
around Euro 100 million for the current financial year, as well as a
further increase in operating earnings (EBIT). The substantial sales growth
hereby expected is attributable to the high volume of orders on hand as of
31 December 2006, the dynamic development in orders received in the first
months of the 2007 financial year and the ongoing positive development of
the sector. In view of the large-scale orders placed by Conergy and
Q-Cells, the majority of sales will be generated in Germany. Given the
expansion plans on the part of its customers, Roth & Rau also sees China as
harbouring further growth potential.

The Management Board will provide detailed information about the annual
financial statements at its Annual Results Press and Analysts’ Conference
to be held at Haus der Bayerischen Wirtschaft in Munich this coming
Tuesday, 3 April 2007.
