Ad hoc announcement processed and transmitted by DGAP. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– Following a satisfactory first half of fiscal 2000/2001, Bertrandt AG now projects revenues of DM 410 million and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of DM 15 million for the 2000/2001 financial year. The Company expects market conditions to become harsher in the second half. Possible short-term market developments notwithstanding, the Company continues to assume an unabated long-term trend toward increased outsourcing by manufacturers due to shorter product life cycles and development times and an increasing variety of models.
