control and sanction mechanisms before the GHG quota is introduced. This is
the only way to exclude market distortions and ensure a fair competition.

Outlook for 2014/2015

Given the situation described above, the current level of sales and raw
material prices and the intended production capacity utilization the board
expects sales revenues ranging between EUR 500 and 600 million in
2014/2015. EBITDA is to be between EUR 25 and 35 million and the operating
result (EBIT) between EUR 3 and 13 million. The positive operating cash
flow will be used for investments in an aggregate of about EUR 14.0 million
to diversify the product range, further extend our straw-based biogas plant
and take measures to boost the efficiency of our existing production
plants.

For more detailed information on the corporate development in the financial
year 2013/2014 is available in the financial statement for 2013/2014 that
will be available at our website www.verbio.de from tomorrow 09:00 a.m.
