+ Further follow-up contracts for additional equipment anticipated

Diepholz/Bremen, Germany - July 15, 2013 : Qatar's leading news agency just
commissioned artec technologies AG to provide it with a new TV/Radio
recording and information system. The system will make it possible for the
agency's editors to generate and evaluate real-time information from over
200 TV and radio broadcasters. The objective is to forward this information
on to the country's governmental agencies and leading persons without time
lags. The agency will receive the newest hardware and software generations
developed by artec for its broadcast systems, systems which distinguish
themselves through the high number of TV and radio channels processed per
unit of equipment as well as low-level energy consumption.

An additional highlight of artec's new product generation is its integrated
mobile TV solutions for providing worldwide accessibility for closed user
groups. All common smartphones and tables from Apple, Samsung and other
manufactures can be used as receivers. This special, mobile technology
makes it possible for the users in any time-zones around the world to call
up TV programs originating in their personal regions, either in real-time
or with time shifting. In addition, through special display characteristics
and search functions, individual broadcasts can be located within seconds
and immediately called up.

One further special feature worth mentioning is the personalized retrieval
of video clips. Via set-top boxes, TV programs as well as all additional
interactive features of the system can be received via the internet in high
quality on standard, commercially available TV sets - for example in
cabinet members' holiday residences - even if they have only limited TV
reception.

'Ever since 2006, we have provided the agency with state-of-the-art
technologies. The present expansion demonstrates their continuing
confidence in our products and system solutions. At present, this has led
to a contract volume of about 2 mil. Euros,' Thomas Hoffmann, member of
artec's board of directors, points out. In this context, he places
