Quarterly or Semiannual Financial Statements
ROSENBAUER GROUP - 1st QUARTER 2004 (E)

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Owing to shipments made in fulfilment of major orders during the
first few months of both 2002 and 2003, the Rosenbauer Group achieved
atypically positive first-quarter results in each of these years. The
first quarter of 2004 has seen a return to the pattern that is more
usual in the fire-equipment sector, with the majority of vehicle
shipments scheduled to be made during the second half of the year.

Revenue and results trends 
The Group posted decreased EBT of EUR 0.6 m (1-3/2003: EUR 4.2 m), on
Group revenues of EUR 66.0 m (1-3/2003: EUR 74.3 m). Last year's
exceptionally high revenues and good first-quarter result are
attributable to seasonally untypical shipments from Austria and Spain
in connection with major orders. This year, the majority of shipments
will once again be made - as is usual in our industry - in the second
half of the year. Due to the continuing pressure on volumes and
prices, the German companies were once more unable to achieve a
satisfactory result in the period under review.
Outlook
On the strength of the orders currently on hand, and of the expected
international economic and exchange-rate trends, Management's
forecast for the current financial year continues to be for Group
revenues of around EUR 310 m, and EBT of between EUR 10.5 m and EUR
12.5 m.
