Financial Figures/Balance Sheet
Hönle continues to improve revenue and earnings

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible
  for the content of this announcement.
15.12.2008
According to preliminary figures, the Hönle Group (SIC 515710) saw a 
significant increase in both revenues and earnings in financial year 
2007/2008 with sales revenues rising by 85.7 % to TEUR 48,744 in 
comparison with the previous year´s period. Earnings before interest 
and tax (EBIT) improved 29.7 % to TEUR 5,627 while earnings before 
tax (EBT) grew by 18.9 % to TEUR 5,904. Consolidated net income for 
the year rose by 44.0 % and amounted to TEUR 4,561.
Hönle acquired three companies in the last financial year. In January
2008 Hönle acquired the Panacol Group. PrintConcept GmbH, a UV 
specialist for UV dryers in the graphic segment was purchased in the 
same month followed by the purchase of Eltosch GmbH, an established 
supplier of drying systems for the printing industry, in May. Cash 
and cash equivalents, financial assets and own shares declined from 
TEUR 20,320 to TEUR 11,702 due to the corporate acquisitions in the 
last financial year. Liabilities to banks amount to EUR 1 million, 
the investment volume used for the expansion of business activities 
will probably be under one million euro. The capital ratio comes to 
62.9 %.
Outlook: The Hönle Group succeeded in raising its market share 
significantly as a result of the corporate acquisitions. At the same 
time the Company laid the foundations for sustained powerful growth 
of the corporate group. In the new financial year special emphasis 
will be placed on the speedy integration of the acquired companies, 
the strengthening of existing synergies with respect to sales, 
development and production as well as the realisation of cost savings
potential. The production of Eltosch GmbH has been outsourced to 
external companies to date. In the future, drying equipment of the 
Eltosch brand will be manufactured at Dr. Hönle AG in addition to 
Hönle products, and this will increase efficiency in the production 
of UV and IR systems. At the same time a high quality standard of the
plants is ensured for the printing industry. Moreover, it is planned 
to extend existing customer relationships and gain new customers 
through direct access in the sheet-fed offset segment. Panacol GmbH 
and Wellomer GmbH will move to new corporate premises. The resulting 
synergy effects will lead to another long-term increase in the Hönle 
Group´s operating result. A further revenue increase is expected to 
result from the extension of sales in the South-East Asian region, in
particular. The major integration measures will probably be finalised
by the end of the financial year.
The economic slowdown and current investment restraints will impact 
on the business development of the Hönle Group also. The extent and 
duration of the restrained investor behaviour, in particular in the 
printing industry, is difficult to predict at present. Overall, Hönle
expects an increase in revenues in comparison with the previous year 
as a consequence of the initial full consolidation of the 
acquisitions. Operating results will be below the previous year´s 
level.
Hönle is responding to the changing economic conditions by 
introducing short-time work at Dr. Hönle AG and Eltosch GmbH. Against
this background, the Dr. Hönle AG Management Board and Supervisory 
Board will propose to the Annual General Meting that a dividend of 
EUR 0.25 per share (PY: EUR 0.40 per share) of the unappropriated 
retained earnings of Dr. Hönle AG be distributed.
