Group performance
The LPKF Group increased its turnover by 6.2 % in the first  quarter 
2008,  and was therefore well short of the target. EBIT registered  a
loss  of  TEUR  317. However, the orders in hand in the first three  
months  rose  by  TEUR  5,062 to TEUR 12,684.
The high level of orders received was mainly attributable to  long  
term  orders in the Solar segment, and orders in the Rapid 
Prototyping  and  Plastic  Welding segments. The Stencil segment was 
able  to  considerably  boost  its  level  of orders received in the 
first quarter with the launch of two new machine  models: the 
associated sales will  largely  be  realised  in  the  second  
quarter.  The performance of the PCB Processing and MID segments was 
lower than expected.
Outlook
The Board of Managing Directors considers the weak turnover 
performance in the first quarter to be a temporary anomaly, and rates
the excellent level of orders in hand as a clear sign for a stronger 
second quarter and a positive Group performance in the first half of 
the 2008 financial year.
LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted  on  the  Prime  
Standard  of  the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
