Dear Leica friends,

Today we would like to inform you  about:

__Interim report as of September 30, 2005
Leica Camera Group  starts new fiscal year with sales growth

The Leica Camera Group, Solms,  has closed the first half 
year of fiscal 2005/2006 (FY end March 31) with  sales 
growing by 6.7 % on the previous year period, to Euro 48.0  
million. The largest sales growth was recorded by the 
binoculars, scopes  and rangefinders of the Leica sports 
optics division, which increased by  34.4 % to Euro 17.7 
million. The main driving force behind this positive  
development were the LEICA GEOVID BRF high 
performance binoculars with  their integrated laser 
rangefinder. The integration of digital technology  into the 
existing product range was also decisive for the 30.5 % 
growth  experienced in the Leica system cameras division, 
which posted sales of Euro  16.6 million. The delivery of the 
LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R had a favourable  effect on the 
sales of this division. The module is a globally unique  digital 
complement to existing 35mm SLR cameras, as well as an 
example  of the combination of classic Leica values and 
useful system complements.  The demand for LEICA 
DIGITAL-MODUL-R will continue to exceed the Company?s  
manufacturing capacities. In addition, the analogue 
reportage cameras  and lenses of the Leica rangefinder 
system experienced a slightly positive  development.
