SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Exceeds Last Year's Orders Received for Blu-ray
Production Lines

Kahl am Main, May 18, 2011 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG (SINGULUS) announces
a high number of incoming orders for its Blu-ray Disc production line
BLULINE II. More than 30 systems have been ordered during the current
business year. Hence the number of purchase orders has exceeded the
accumulated orders received in the last year already at the beginning of
May 2011.

The manufacturing plants have been working worldwide to full capacities
during Christmas trade. In its 'Blu-ray Disc Replication Report' in
November 2010 the market research institute Futuresource Consulting
announced that the global Blu-ray production increased sharply in the year
2010. For the next couple of years the analysts at Futuresource Consulting
forecast a further rise in the Blu-ray production. The required production
capacity for the manufacturing of Blu-ray Discs is set to nearly triple and
to amount to more than 3.0 billion discs until 2014.

Therefore SINGULUS expects further incoming orders for the systems BLULINE
II and CRYSTALLINE during the next weeks. The development of this market is
clearly aimed at growth.
