3rd Quarter
The business of VOGT electronic Group developed dissatisfying during
the 3rd quarter of the current financial year.
Adjusted sales of the Group decreased by 8,1% to 35.0 Mio. EUR
(previous year: 38.1 Mio. EUR) and was thus below expectations.
Reason for this drop down were the declining sales in the automotive
and consumer electronics business.
The adjusted EBIT amounted to 1.9 Mio. EUR (previous year: 2.0 Mio.
EUR) and was mainly impacted by decreasing sales.

Nine months period
During the first nine months of the current financial year the VOGT
electronic Group could achieve a turnover of 112.9 Mio. EUR (previous
year: 136.1 Mio. EUR).
The decline of 17.0% versus previous year is mainly resulting from
the deconsolidation of VOGT electronic Letron GmbH and the modified
subcontracting process.
Without taking into account the mentioned sales of previous year and
adjusted for exchange rate effects in 2008 sales declined by 3.0%
versus previous year. Whereas the automotive electronic segment could
increase sales by 6.0% to 68.9 Mio. EUR (previous year: 65.0 Mio.
EUR), sales in the consumer electronic segment reduced by 20.1% to
30.6 Mio. EUR (previous year: 38.3 Mio. EUR), which is mainly a
result of the strong price decreases in the telecommunication
business sector.
Despite the decrease in sales by 1.4 Mio EUR the EBIT adjusted by
special items could be increased to 6.3 Mio EUR compared to previous
year. (previous year: 4.9 Mio EUR), where particularly the
restructuring measures initiated in 2007 had a positive impact.
The adjusted EBIT quote rose to 5.6% (previous year: 3.6%).
The result of the Group improved considerably from -6.6 Mio. EUR in
2007 to 3.3 Mio. EUR in 2008.

Outlook 4th Quarter
Due to lacking impulses of incoming orders VOGT expects a clear
decline of sales revenue during the 4th quarter. Background is the
ongoing crisis of the financial markets and its impact on the
automotive industry. The VOGT electronic Group generates ca. 60% of
its turnover with customers of the automotive supplier industry.
Due to the decline of sales the company expects a decreasing adjusted
EBIT in 4th quarter in 2008.

results 2008 which will be published on our homepage on October 28th,
