- Sales EUR 55.1 million (2010: EUR 51.0 million, +8%) - Earnings
before taxes EUR 5.6 million (2010: EUR 5.0 million, +12%) - Cash
flow from operational activity EUR 13.7 million (2010: EUR 11.8
million, +16%)

Ahrensburg, February 13, 2012, - BASLER AG, one of the leading global
manufacturers of cameras for industry and video surveillance
applications, is releasing preliminary figures for fiscal year 2011.

The group's turnover increased in fiscal year 2011 by 8% to EUR 55.1
million (previous year: EUR 51.0 million). The gross profit margin
amounted to 44.2% (previous year: 43.5%). The earnings before taxes
increased by 12% to EUR 5.6 million (previous year: EUR 5.0 million).
The pre-tax return reached 10.2% (previous year: 9.8%). With these
results the company's forecast communicated to the capital market has
been achieved.

The cash flow from operational activity amounted to EUR 13.7 million
(previous year: EUR 11.8 million +16%). The free cash flow calculated
as the sum of cash flows from operational activity and investment
reached a value of EUR 6.9 million (previous year: EUR 5.7 million,
+21%). The positive development of the cash flow is due to decreased
average delivery times and shorter collection periods for receivables
as a result of the intense working capital management.

In 2011 Basler AG achieved the best result in the company's history.
The new strategic alignment agreed upon 3 years ago with focus on the
camera business is proving successful.

These provisional figures are awaiting attestation by the auditors
and approval by the Supervisory Board. The definitive figures for
fiscal year 2011, the annual report for 2011, and the forecast for
fiscal year 2012 will be presented on March 26, 2012.
