Lower trading volume<br />
in second half-year<br />
From around the middle of the year the technology prices, and the semiconductor<br />
quotations in particular, suffered a downward slide <strong>ELMOS</strong> was able to resist at first.<br />
By the end of the year the general development caught up with the <strong>ELMOS</strong> share. The<br />
<strong>ELMOS</strong> share’s annual performance is comparable to that of the TecDAX (minus four<br />
percent) but significantly better than that of the semiconductor share index Philadel-<br />
phia <strong>Semiconductor</strong> Index (SOX, minus 15 percent).<br />
Even though the long-term development of the <strong>ELMOS</strong> share since its IPO is not<br />
satisfactory, it still is much better than the development of TecDAX and most other<br />
technology indices worldwide.<br />

The trading volume of the <strong>ELMOS</strong> share counting Xetra trade and Frankfurt floor tra-<br />
ding amounted to roughly 50,000 shares a day on an annual average. This figure<br />
shows a reduced trading volume compared to the previous year, but it is still clearly<br />
above the trading volume recorded in the years before that. While an average of more<br />
than 70,000 shares were traded in the first half-year of <strong>2004</strong>, only about 30,000<br />
shares a day changed hands during the second half of the year <strong>2004</strong>. As before, the<br />
biggest proportion, about three fourth of the total volume, was traded on Xetra.<br />
