systaic AG / Forecast/Miscellaneous 01.10.2008 Release of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. =-------------------------------------------------------------------------- All business fields working to full capacity until the end of the year Düsseldorf, 01.10.2008. systaic AG - listed in Prime Standard since September 30, 2008 - is announcing a successful quarterly statement for the third quarter of 2008. Heiko Piossek (CFO) explains: 'In the first nine months of 2008, we have achieved sales to the amount of EUR 125 million upon preliminary calculations, compared to EUR 14 million for the same period of the previous year. Furthermore, our capacities are fully booked for the rest of the year. This means that SYSTAIC has been able to quadruple its total annual sales to the amount of EUR 30 million made in 2007 as early as in the third quarter 2008. As our capacities are fully booked for the rest of this year, we wish to emphasize again our previous prognosis of over EUR 200 million annual sales for 2008.' The solar technology company headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, explains its nine-times growth in sales compared to the same period of the previous year, among other things, with the successful completion of the solar power plant projects in Spain: The entries to the system register (RIPRE) - of high importance in this area - have all been made. The plants near Belmez in the Córdoba region have been settled with Eurovoltaic, purchaser of the SYSTAIC power plants. Due to the recent decision of the Spanish Council of Ministers to award EUR 0.32 per kWh to open space power plants connected to the grid after 20.09.08 - only EUR 0.29 had been initially envisaged - the Spanish market remains profitable for the SYSTAIC Group. Here, and particularly also in Italy and other European countries, SYSTAIC's order pipeline, which raises expectations for further significant growth in the area of solar power plants beyond the current fiscal year, is well filled. In Germany, the order books are also full, despite the fact that the framework contract agreed with Colonia Real Estate AG in March of this year has been cancelled by systaic AG. The reason for this decision is rooted in the fact that until the very end, none of the individual orders agreed in the framework contract had been placed by Colonia Real Estate. The reserved capacities were then awarded to other customers in Germany and abroad, confirming the validity of the sales target for the 2008 fiscal year. About systaic AG: Due to the consequent implementation of its strategy, systaic AG belongs to the fastest growing companies in the sector of renewable energies in Europe. The patent-pending integrated system solutions developed for buildings by SYSTAIC are highly flexible regarding their design and are offered together with a yield guarantee for over 24 years. The innovative SYSTAIC Energy Roof won the 'Innovation Award for Architecture and Construction' at the German construction fair Deubau 2008. This was the third award after the 'Golden Innovation Award for Sustainable Development' and the public prize 'Trophée de l'Innovation'. The SYSTAIC group produces and markets Europe-wide a new generation of solar systems that differs significantly from the systems currently available on the market. The product portfolio is furthermore enhanced by the offer of comprehensive services. Apart from that, SYSTAIC is currently the only company worldwide that produces solar solutions for the automobile industry. The development and installation of solar power plants constitute further areas of operation. In addition to systaic AG, the SYSTAIC group comprises the subsidiaries Webasto Solar GmbH, Landsberg, the systaic Ibérica S.L.U., Barcelona, the systaic France S.A.R.L., Paris, the systaic Italia S.r.l. as well as the systaic Americas Inc., Carlsbad.
