The share on group sales of the AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS DIVISION in the first quarter 2008 was 53.0%. Sales of the division increased in the frist quarter of the current financial year by 16.9% to EUR 108.2 mill.. Tooling sales of the division decreased by 75.1% to EUR 2.1 mill.. This development is solely attributable to the toolings for the door panel of the BMW X3 in the amount of EUR 6.9 mill. accounted in previous years period.
The EBITDA decreased in the first quarter 2008 by 28.3% to EUR 6.6 mill.. This development is caused by several starts of production,with
a negative impact in material- and personnel ratios. Other effects on the earnings development are the reduced capacity utilisation caused by decreased call of figures for the main products of the division and the reduced toolings sales. Even if it is not common, the toolings for the BMW X3 made a positive contribution to profitability in the first quarter 2007.
According to the current utilisiation of plants of the division, headcount adoptions have been evaluated and are in progress.

In the first quarter 2008, sales of the Car Styling Division decreased by 5.6 % to EUR 19.0 mill..This development was caused by lower tooling sales compared with the previous years period. Tooling sales decreased by 36.2 % to EUR 2.4 mill.. Part sales increased by 1.4 % to EUR 16.6 mill.. The Austrian plant of the division were able to com-
pensate the poor call off development at the plants in the USA and UK.
The EBITDA decreased as a result of the sales development by EUR 0.4 mill. to EUR 1.9 mill. This equals an solide EBITDA margin of 10.2 %.
The strong increase in headcount in both, the Automotive System Division and also the Automotive Composites Division, compared with the first quarter 2007, is solely attributable to the acquisitions made in 2007. The increase in headcount in the Car Styling Division is a result of the sustainable good order development.

tal since the last balance sheet date of December 31, 2007 is a result of late customer payments received after the balance sheet date.

On account of the acquisitions made during the financial year 2007 and the full contribution this will make to sales in the year 2008, POLYTEC GROUP will be able to continue its growth path in 2008.The target is a sales volume of almost EUR 800 mill.,whose achievement can only be affected by a negative development of call of figures for running projects of the POLYTEC GROUP. The production of passen ger cars and also the trucks will depend on the further economic development.
For the earnings development 2008 it is essential, to react fast and efficient on short time adjustment in call of figures of our customers. In the second half of 2008, an adequate launch management has to ensure that the planed start of productions will reach their tagets in conts in a short term.
According to the explanations made in the management report of 2007 an EBITDA margin of more than 8 % ist still to assume. The result of the first quarter 2008 confirms this.

The interim financial statement as of March 31, 2008 was created in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), particularly the IAS 34 (interim report). The balancing and valuation methods from December 31, 2008 were applied in an unchanged form. With regard to further information about the balancing and valuation bases of the POLYTEC GROUP, we refer you to the group financial statement of December 31, 2008.
The division of sales of one financial year of the POLYTEC GROUP to the four quarters correlates to a high extent with the car manufacturing by the customers of the group. For this reason, quarters in which customers normally carry out works holidays have generally lower rates of sales than quarters without such effects. In addition to this, sales from one quarter can also be influenced through the settlement oflarge tool or development projects.
The number of companies included in the interim report is unchanged to the last balance sheet date.
The board declares that the interim financial report compiled in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) pro vides a picture of the assets, finance and earnings situation of the POLYTEC Group that is as accurate as possible.
The interim financialreport at hand has not been subject to an examination or an audit based review.
