The first half of 2004 saw 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. The
atypically positive results posted in the first quarters of 2002 and
2003 were attributable to shipments made under major orders.

In Europe, the first half of 2004 still brought no sign of any
improvement in the unfavourable market situation. The crucial factor
upon which future developments in Europe mainly depend will be the
timing and strength of any economic recovery in Germany.
For the first half of the year, the Group posted EBT of EUR 3.4 m
(1-6/2003: EUR 9.9 m), on Group revenues of EUR 140.0 m (1-6/2003:
EUR 154.5 m). As is usual in the industry, the bulk of this year's
shipments will once again be made in the second half of the year.
OUTLOOK
Despite the persistently adverse trends on the municipal
fire-equipment market in Europe, and especially in Germany,
Management is nevertheless confident that the forecast targets -
Group revenues of over EUR 300 m and EBT in excess of EUR 10 m - can
still be attained.
