HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT 2010

ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK CONDITIONS

The development of both the automotive and commercial vehicle industries in the first half of 2010 was marked by a highly dynamic trend. In the automotive segment, both production and sales numbers of the German OEMs showed a noticeable increase mainly attributable to the Chinese, Indian and American export markets. The Chinese market was once again the main growth driver with a 50% increase in sales compared to the previous year. In this country, the German OEMs succeeded in further expanding their market share to 18%. India ranked second in terms of sales growth with a plus of 30% compared to the previous year. The German premium manufacturers were able to significantly profit from this upward

trend and more than doubled their sales volumes. The commercial vehicle segment also registered a considerable recovery in production output. ìThings are looking up again and the markets are recovering more rapidly than expected,î said Matthias Wissmann, President of the VDA ñ the German Association of the Automotive Industry.

The order inflow for heavy-goods vehicles, which traditionally functions as an early indicator of economic trends, grew by 80% in the first half of 2010 compared to the crisis-related low level of the previous year. The foreign business in particular gathered momentum, with the order inflow almost doubling over the first six months of 2010.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT INTERIM REPORT

The restructuring of the POLYTEC GROUP - which has been agreed upon by the company, the core shareholders and the banks ñ provided, among other things, for the disposal of the PEGUFOM GROUP acquired in 2008, with the exception of two plants (Weiden and Chodova Plana), which have been incorporated into the Automotive Composites Division. As a result, the PEGUFOM GROUP,

excluding the two plants in Weiden and Chodova Plana, is categorized asìheld for disposalî pursuant to IFRS 5, and is reported separately from the Automotive Systems Division. For better comparability, key financial figures were adjusted accordingly and results were reported pursuant to IFRS as ìassets held for disposalî in the balance sheet.

GROUP RESULTS

In the period under review, POLYTEC GROUPís key financial figures continued the upward trend showed in the previous quarter, with group earnings recording considerable growth.

This led, (for the first time since the unfolding ofthe economic and financial crisis), to a positive net result for the period of EUR 4.3 million in Q2 2010 and to earnings per share of EUR 0.18. Group sales increased by 32.8% to EUR 201.1 million on a quarterly

basis and by 25.6% to EUR 365.8 million in the first half of 2010 in line with the development shown in Q1 2010. All segments were able to profit from this outstanding performance by the automotive industry. Due to this dynamic trend and the positive effects of the cost-cutting measures implemented in the course of 2009,the group was able to achieve a considerable improvement of EBITDA, which grew by EUR 23.6 million to EUR 16.6 million in the first half of

1. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 4.5%. Group EBIT rose by EUR 24.6 million to EUR 3.0 million in the period under review. The start and end of production (SOP and EOP) of several projects in the Automotive Systems Division had a negative impact on the development of results. Please refer to the segment reporting section and the outlook for further details in this regard.

AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS DIVISION

in EUR million	Q2 2010	Q2 2009	CHANGE	H1 2010	H1 2009	CHANGE
Sales	124.9	103.0	21.3%	223.5	180.4	23.9%

EBITDA margin	3.2%	2.7%		1.5%	-0.4%
EBIT margin	-0.4%	-1.8%		-2.5%	-5.5%

The Automotive Systems Division was able to achieve a significant increase in sales by 21.3% to EUR 124.9 million in Q2 2010. This positive development was driven by the dynamic business trend of the German premium manufacturers on the Chinese, Indian and American export markets. In the first half of 2010, division salesrose by 23.9% to EUR 223.5 million. EBITDA also profited from thisstrong growth in sales in the first six months of the year and turned positive to EUR 3.3 million after a negative amount in the first half of 2009. However, the development of two plants within the interiorsegment had a negative impact on results due to unexpected additional project-related costs. These unfavorable effectswere also reflected in the development of the divisionís EBIT, which clearly underperformed expectations despite an improvement to EUR -5.7 million compared

to the previous year. Comprehensive one-off cost-cutting measures were adopted to reduce expenses to a sustainable level. This costsaving program has already proved effective, showing significant improvements in one of the aforementioned plants. However, due to the short-term implementation of this set of measures, the resulting positive effects were not yet reflected in the results reported in the present interim report. At the second plant, the SOP and EOP ofa number of projects, along with one-off costs related to project takeovers from insolvent competitors, also had a negative impact on results in Q2 2010. However, the counter-measures that were adopted showed first signs of success despite the early stage of implementation.

AUTOMOTIVE COMPOSITES DIVISION

in EUR million	Q2 2010	Q2 2009	CHANGE	H1 2010	H1 2009	CHANG

EBITDA margin	11.7%	-9.9%		8.3%	-9.6%
EBIT margin	8.6%	-15.7%		4.8%	-14.7%

The Automotive Composites Division showed substantial development in Q2 2010. Sales and consequently production volumes, which started to show the first signs of recovery towards the end ofQ1 2010, gathered momentum throughout Q2 2010. The order inflowof the German manufacturers increased by 80% in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period of the previous year. Sales in the Automotive Composites Division increased significantly by 60.6% to

EUR 51.7 million in line with the upward market trend but still failed to match the 2008 level. Furthermore, a better cost structure as a result of a higher utilization of division capacities along with positive full-year effects from the adoption ofrestructuring and sales measures led to an increase in EBITDA to EUR 6.0 million in Q2 2010. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 11.7%.

CAR STYLING DIVISION

in EUR million	Q2 2010	Q2 2009	CHANGE	H1 2010	H1 2009	CHANGE

The Car Styling Division continued the upward trend of the previous quarter, achieving a considerable increase in sales and earningsin Q2 2010 also. Division sales rose by 47.4% to EUR 20.6 million in Q2

2010, the highest level ever achieved in the history of the division. The EBITDA margin also showed a favorable development amounting to 11.5%.

The group headcount rose by 404 employees as of June 30, 2010 mainly due to the increased recruitment of leased staff in the Automotive Systems Division to respond, on the one hand, to a

higher workload resulting from increased production output and, on the other, to the difficulties mentioned in the segment reporting related to single projects. All other divisions also had to adjust their

personnel capacities to match higher workload and production output in Q2 2010. Thus, headcount increased by ⁴³ employeesin the Automotive Composites Division and by ⁵³ staff members in the Car Styling Division.

In Q2 2010, the development of capital expenditures was limited to order-related procurement activities for planned project start-ups. Consequently, the intensity of investment decreased to 36.2% at group level.The equity ratio remained stable as of June 30, 2010 due to a positive earnings situation as well as a higher balance sheettotal that was mainly attributable to an increase in working capital during the reporting period. With regard to the net debt, which increased by

should be noted that as of December 31, 2009 net debt included factoring payments, which positively influenced the companyís cash situation in the amount of EUR 9 million. On the one hand, net debt was reduced by EUR 10 million compared to the balance sheet date as of December 31, 2009. On the other, cash and cash equivalents decreased by roughly EUR 15 million as of June 30, 2010.

OUTLOOK

Based on the dynamic development of the automotive and commercial vehicle industry throughout the first six months of 2010 and the forecasts for the second half of the year, total group sales of EUR 700 million are expected for the full year 2010. Although sales forecasts for the full-year became firmer compared to March 31, 2010, the further development of the earnings situation remains largely uncertain. If the current market trend also continues in the second half of 2010, a further improvement of results can be anticipated. However, whether additional restructuring measures

with a negative impact on results (impairment of fixed assets) will be necessary will mainly depend on how quickly the turnaround measures currently underway are finalized. For forward-looking statements regarding the companyís liquidity situation, the development of the individual business segments and the further financing of the operating business please refer to the forecast report in the companyís annual report 2009 or to the annual financial report 2009 of POLYTEC HOLDING AG.

SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES

ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION METHODS

The interim report as of June 30, 2010 was compiled pursuant to the legal provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS), and more specifically, in conformity with IAS 34 (interim reports). The same accounting and evaluation methods adopted on December 31, 2009 were also applied to this report. For further information regarding accounting and evaluation principles ofthe POLYTEC GROUP, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009.

BUSINESS SEASONALITY

The quarterly reporting of POLYTEC GROUPís sales throughout one financial year strictly correlates to the car manufacturing operations of the groupís customers. For this reason, quarters in which customers normally close for works holidays generally have lower rates of sales turnover than quarters without such effects. In addition, sales from one quarter can also be influenced by the billing oflarge tooling or development projects. In general, the 2010 financial year has been marked by strongly fluctuating call-off order patterns as a consequence of the global automotive recession and economic downturn.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
