The Leica Camera AG second quarter Interrum report can be downloaded (in
English) from Leica's web site under investor relations:
http://www.leica-camera.com/untern/ir/ir_e.htm  The relevant document is:
http://www.leica-camera.com/untern/ir/pdf/zwbq2_e.pdf  This was released
yesterday and has all of the most recent financials.  It doesn't copy well
to a mail document so download the original and check it out.

This and their latest annual report make very interesting reading.  It seems
that M-system sales are doing great, up 17.6% from same period last year.
While R-system sales are -21.3%.  To quote from the text "In the
high-quality SLR market, which is in constant decline, ..."  I don't know
whether they mean that the market for high-quality SLRs is declining or the
market for Leica SLRs.

They talk about new products but now specifics.  Stay tuned...!

A gentleman in Germany was kind enough to e-mail me
these financials.  The figures are in Million DM.

My rough translation is that these are the second
quarter numbers which were released Thursday.

Maybe someone one the LUG can give us a better
translation.

Also, I was told that Leica stock closed Friday at
7.60 Euros down .55 Euros from it's close last friday
of 8.15.  If I am right, that is about a 6.7% drop
this week.
