sales team will be reinforced for this purpose. In the first three months
of the financial year, revenues climbed by 12 percent to 4.1 million euros
(Q1 13/14: 3.6 million euros). EBIT also increase by 12 percent to 0.8
million euros (Q1 13/14: 0.8 million euros), whereby the EBIT margin rose
by one percentage point to 19 percent referenced to total output compared
to the previous year (Q1 13/14: 18%). For the current year, management also
expects a revenue contribution from the "Plug & Automate" product series
which, after the launch in the German market, have successfully been
installed at some strategic customers.

In the Surface Vision segment, revenues increase to 19.7 million euros in
the first three months of the financial year (Q1 13/14: 18.3 million
euros). The strong annual result of 2013/2014 of 77.4 million euros - an
improvement of 19 percent compared to previous year - continues with an
increase of 8 percent in the first quarter. EBIT rose by 13 percent to 3.8
million euros (Q1 13/14: 3.4 million euros), which corresponds to a margin
of 17 percent to total output (Q1 13/14: 17%). High order entries are
recorded particularly from the Plastics segment. Metal profits from the
innovations recently introduced to the market. The good order situation in
glass industry continued in the new financial year. The business
performance tendency in the solar industry is positive and on a similar
level as in the previous year. In this context, ISRA profits specifically
from the sustained demand for inspection systems from Asia and the
strategically strong market position following the successful integration
of GP Solar. The revenues in the Paper unit are intensively supported by
innovations and investments in the expansion of the global sales team. The
recently introduced product innovations for customers in the printing
industry are accompanied by marketing activities and forced by sales. In
the area of inspection systems for security paper, like banknote paper,
intensive marketing campaigns are being prepared, especially to present the
innovations at upcoming trade fairs.

In the course of the 2014/2015 financial year, the further expansion of the
CSSC (Customer Support and Service Center) will be one of the strategic key
issues with the goal to further expand the share of the service revenues.
The new release of the intelligent yield management software "EPROMI" for
efficiency and productivity increase in production will be launched with
extensive coverage in the second quarter of 2014/2015. At the same time,
