The IWKA Group's operating business improved considerably in the 2006
financial year over the previous year 2005.

In 2006, the Group achieved EBIT of € 33.7 million € after losses of 
€ -42.9 million in 2005. Orders received and sales revenues from continuing
operations were 10 percent, in the case of orders received, and 9 percent,
for sales revenues, above the levels of the year before.

Cashflow developed particularly well in the 4th quarter of 2006. Net debt
as of December 31, 2006 was therefore, at € 98.7 million, by € 86.2 below
the value in December 2005 (€ 175.9 million).

The divestment process in 2006 was totally completed. Extraordinary
expenditure will be around the level of the figures already communicated,
and a net loss for the year will therefore be recorded.
