Kahl am Main, March 30, 2007 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES (SINGULUS) reports significant increases for key financial figures in 2006 compared with the previous year.

The published sales forecast for 2006 of € 255-275 million was exceeded with € 283.1 million (previous year: € 244.4 million). In addition, the EBIT of € 4.0 million (previous year: € 2.1 million) and the net profit of € 11.1 million (previous year: € 7.3 million) were considerably above previous year’s level.

The order intake in 2006, including the order intake in the fourth quarter of € 46.6 million (previous year: € 70.5 million), increased by 28.3 % to € 319 million. As of the end of the year, the order backlog increased from € 60.9 million (2005) to € 81.5 million (2006).

In the business year 2006 the cash flow from operating activities rose from € 8.3 million to € 9.0 million.

The development of the key financial figures was substantially impacted by the positive effects of the HamaTech acquisition and the first-time consolidation of the annual accounts of HamaTech, of which SINGULUS owns approximately 90 %.

The organizational structure of the SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Group was adjusted to the changed requirements. Compared with December 31, 2005, the headcount (excluding the HamaTech AG) declined from 636 to 570 employees. The HamaTech AG further reduced its headcount as well. The SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Group (including the HamaTech AG) employed 796 people as of December 31, 2006. With the sale of ETA-Optik at the beginning of 2007, the number of employees is further reduced by 43.

Outlook
In addition to the further development of the core activities Optical Disc, SINGULUS regards the diversification as the most important goal and the biggest challenge in the next couple of year.
