systems. For the customer, this has several advantages over conventional
systems. For example, costs can be reduced in the acquisition of hardware
or through lower installation expenses.

In numerous Research and Development (R&D) projects, artec began early on
to adapt to such new developments in the market, for example by developing
new, intelligent software for future utilization in advanced camera
systems. In addition to the standard functions used in video surveillance,
artec has also developed such innovations as counting human traffic,
license plate identification, early-warning fire alarms, data protection and
audio radar. Future software solutions by artec technologies AG, together
with their long-time successful technologies, provide an ideal supplement
to an already comprehensive palette of products, a major factor in
distinguishing artec from its competitors. The expanded business model in
this market segment will excellently prepare the company for future demands
and multiply the range of its potential customer base by several
increments.

Investments in distribution, marketing, and public relations

All in all, the Board of Directors has a very positive view of the future
development and marketing potential in both of artec´s areas of business.
To continue to flourish in such an innovative growth market, artec will
also implement extensive investments in distribution, marketing, and public
relations, especially during the first and second quarters of the present
business year.

Prognosis for further development

Providing that the essential economic parameters, especially in Germany, do
not worsen, the Board of Directors is unanimously optimistic that they will
be able to continue their successful growth in this business year as well.
For that matter, artec technologies AG will definitely strive to attain an
improvement in its basic operating figures during 2013.
