Kahl am Main, May 22, 2007 – The world's largest industry exhibition for
optical disc production machinery, the MEDIA-TECH Expo, took place from May
15 - 17, 2007 at the Long Beach Convention Center in the USA.

At the MEDIA-TECH Expo, SINGULUS MASTERING exhibited its newly developed
inline mastering system under the brand name of CRYSTALLINE, operating
according to the PTM (phase transition mastering) principle. The new
inline mastering system was unveiled to over 100 professionals at an
exclusive event one day before the exhibition. SINGULUS MASTERING is now
the only company in the world other than Sony to be in a position to supply
an inline mastering system for all HD DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Two CRYSTALLINE mastering systems were sold directly at the exhibition.

The replication lines of the type SPACELINE II for the production of HD
DVDs and DVDs, together with the BLU-LINE production line for Blu-ray
discs, were also on show at the exhibition stand. Both lines attracted
considerable attention. Sales of several SPACELINE and SKYLINE lines were
also clinched. Further projects are expected in the wake of the exhibition.

At the exhibition, SINGULUS and Sony reported the initial results of
development work on the new dual layer Blu-ray Disc technology with a
storage capacity of 50 Gb.

SINGULUS had concluded a partnership agreement with Sony DADC in March on
the further development of the production technology for mass production.
The purpose of this partnership is to provide independent disc
manufacturers with inline production facilities for dual layer Blu-ray
Discs in the short term, in order to build up sufficient capacity for
production of the new disc generation. To that end, Sony DADC is making the
necessary production expertise available to SINGULUS.

The newly developed production line will be brought onto the market late
this summer.

Company profile of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES

SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES is the market leader for optical disc production
lines and the only manufacturer in the world to offer the full range:
mastering systems, molding machines and replication lines.
In addition to the further development of optical disc core business,
diversification into new areas will be the biggest challenge over the next
few years.

In 2007, SINGULUS is concentrating on the following goals:

• Clear market lead in all areas of operation for optical discs, with the
goal of securing an above-average share of future growth in the
new-generation formats.
• Extending the market lead for photomask cleaning and processing equipment
for the semiconductor industry.
• Intensive development of the 'Nano Deposition Technologies' and 'Optical
Coatings' areas and of the new 'Decorative Coatings' area of activity into
independent areas of operation making a growing contribution towards
revenue and earnings.
• Systematically broadening activities over the next few years through
establishing new areas of operation by means of acquisitions, to generate
revenue and earnings from additional new business areas.

High market potential and proximity to our company's core skills are the
key factors when we examine the scope for expansion into new areas of
operation.

Our employees' considerable technological expertise gives us a broad area
of activity and therefore ample scope for diversifying. SINGULUS already
started screening the markets last year in an effort to identify
interesting technologies and companies that offer substantial potential for
growth.

Realizing these targets constitutes the basis for safeguarding our
company's future and generating fresh growth.
