Logistics<br />
The Logistics business segment with the two product groups Satellite Plants and Pallet Activities did not yet<br />
generate any income in the period under review. In the medium term, the segment expects Global Green Built<br />
GmbH, which supplies mobile manufacturing plants and also provides additional services, to win contracts<br />
from over 30 project inquiries from 20 countries and four continents. Since it has more or less completed<br />
development of the two-part pallet, marketing the pallet manufacturing plants can now begin.<br />
Taking the difficult market environment into consideration, Logistics expects to sell some projects but as yet<br />
the resultant margins will not cover the fixed costs. As a result, the segment anticipates EBIT of e – 1 million<br />
for the current fiscal year. The break-even point should be achieved following the increased business volume<br />
expected for 2009/10, once the products have become better known and the initial launch risk for the pallet<br />
production facilities no longer applies.<br />
