At Euro 120 million new orders were virtually at the level of the corresponding period in the previous year (Euro 127 million) while sales, at Euro 121 million, were 9 % above the corresponding value (Euro 111 million). The pre-tax result rose by 63 % to Euro 13 million, while the result after taxes improved by 67 % to Euro 10 million. The percentage return on sales was 10.5 %, with the return on capital employed extrapolated to 12 months – standing at 28.6 %. A proposal is to be put to the general meeting of shareholders that a dividend of Euro 0.60 (without a tax-reserve certificate) per share be distributed for the short financial year. The dividend for the last full business year 1999/2000 was Euro 1.00. The repurchase of own shares started successfully. By December 31, 2000, around 145,000 own shares (2.07 % of the total number of 7 million shares) had been repurchased.
