AT&S’s competence in implementing technological innovations in large-scale production and investments in the new 2n2 technology have also contributed to our company being the preferred partner of major manufacturers of mobile telephones. As early as Autumn 2004, AT&S will be able to supply more than a third of the HDI Microvia production based on 2n2 technology. At the beginning of the financial year 2004/05, particular attention was paid to large-scale production with new customers, such as Sony-Ericsson and Motorola. This was in addition to the already strong partnerships forged with Nokia – based on this co-operation, AT&S has been able to increase strongly the number of projects in comparison to last year, – and our partnership with Siemens whose growth has also resulted in an increased number of AT&S products. Our strategic partnership with Motorola will result, as already announced, in mass- produced articles in the coming months at AT&S. We have also expanded our co-operation with Sony-Ericsson in recent weeks. AT&S was selected as the supplier for new promising projects. Production of these models will also begin in the next few weeks. AT&S can confirm the targets set for the development and growth of our company, including an increase in turnover of 10% for this current financial year, as well as a significantly higher profit than in the past financial year. The figures for the first quarter will be presented on 28 July 2004. The annual report for 2003/04 is already available on AT&S’s website or can be ordered from AT&S.
