Important notes concerning the group's sales and earnings growth.
For the first quarter of 1999, the figures for the business  division
Telcommunications (Krone AG) and the business area Clean Room
Automation (Jenoptik Infab) of the business division Clean Systems
were still integrated into the company figures. They  will no longer
be included in the report for fiscal year 2000 due to the
reorganization of the group. Thus the sales figures are only
comparable to an extent.
Jenoptik's sales and earnings growth is mostly dependent on
contractually determined finishing dates in facility engineering.
These dates usually fall toward the end of the year. Furthermore,
sales are created at erratic intervals through the sale of
investments by the Asset Management business division. Therefore the
figures from the first quarter cannot be extended to include the rest
of the year.
