Dear Shareholders and Parties Interested in Geratherm Medical,

Geratherm Medical managed during the third quarter of the current fiscal year to expand its sales volume by 6.5% compared to the same period last year. Following the weaker second quarter, the sales were able to build again on the previous positive growth phase.

The gross profit also increased by +4.1% during the third quarter. We experienced a considerably higher increase in costs. The operating result was decreased by input costs for marketing activities, external consulting fees and increased costs for expanding a production unit in our Brazilian subsidiary. An operating result (EBIT) of 506 kEUR (-19.3%) was posted during the 3rd quarter.

The financial result reported in the 3rd quarter of 2011 was negative with -173 kEUR. All in all, the result from ordinary business activities amounted to 333 kEUR. The net income for the period after minority interest is 248 kEUR or 0.05 EUR cents (2010: 0.09 EUR cents) per share.

For the first nine months there was a cumulative result for ordinary business activities in the amount of EUR 1.891 million (2010: EUR 2.518 million). The net income of Geratherm's shareholders amounted to EUR 1.582 million (2010: EUR 2.001 million) for the nine month period of the current fiscal year. The result per share is 0.32 EUR (2010: 0.40 EUR).

Sales Development

The development of sales with a 6.6% growth during the first nine months of the current fiscal year did not really meet our expectations. On the whole the company posted a sales revenue of EUR 13.3 million.

The export share of Geratherm products amounted to 89%, exhibiting an above-average growth of 7.8%. The German market exhibited only a slight decline of -1.6%.

The demand for Geratherm products experienced an above-average increase of +10.8% in Europe and +17.6% in South America. Weaker development was reported for the US market (-11.1%) and the Other countries segment (-10.3%). The lower sales of Geratherm products in the latter segment was attributed in part to rioting in the Arab region.

Sales by regions Jan. 1 – Sept. 30, 2011

Sales by segments Jan. 1 – Sept. 30, 2011

Geratherm Medical's mainstay of sales with a share of 88.9% comprises products of the Healthcare Diagnostic segment, which are marketed internationally in hospitals, clinics and pharmacies. Key products are gallium-filled clinical thermometers (50.1%) and blood pressure monitors (19.0%). The sales of products in this segment increased slightly by 2.9% during the first nine months compared to 2010. The sale of environmentally friendly gallium-filled clinical thermometers (+9.4%) posted above-average development. The sales in the segments Medical warming systems (+39.4%) and Respiratory (+78.4%) were characterized by dynamic growth. The sales posted in the Cardio/Stroke segment were slightly below last year's level with a -3.7% decline.

Earnings Situation

Geratherm Medical's earnings situation from business operations experienced a below-average development as a result of higher write-offs (+12.6%) and higher other operating expenses (+27.9%). The higher operating expenses were caused by greater expenses for marketing (+87 kEUR) of our Brazilian subsidiary and due to higher legal fees (+162 kEUR) and logistics advice.

During the first nine months of 2011, the gross profit recorded an above-average 8.2% development compared to growth in sales. The gross margin represents 63.1% of sales. The personnel costs posted an above-average 10.6% development compared to growth in sales. The gross profit (EBITDA) decreased to EUR 1.937 million (-16.8%) during the first nine months. The volume of write-offs increased to 501 kEUR (+12.6%) due to higher investments.

The operating result (EBIT) decreased to EUR 1.436 million for the first nine months (2010: EUR 1.883 million). The decrease in the quality of earnings can be attributed to the increase in other operating expenses and the increased loss from business activities in Brazil (-169 kEUR) and apoplex medical (-274 kEUR).

As of Sept. 30, 2011, the company posted positive financial results in the amount of 455 kEUR (2010: 635 kEUR).

Together with the operating result, the result from ordinary business activities amounted to EUR 1.891 million (-24.9%) during the first nine months of the current fiscal year. Less the income taxes in the amount of 553 kEUR, which are encumbered significantly by a reduction in the deferred taxes due to the use of losses carried forward in the amount of 430 kEUR, Geratherm reported a consolidated net profit of EUR 1.582 million after deducting minority interests. The result per share for the first nine months is 32 EUR cents (2010: 40 EUR cents).

Net Assets and Financial Situation

Geratherm Medical enjoys a stable asset situation. The balance sheet total as at Sept. 30, 2011 amounted to EUR 24.2 million (2010: EUR 26.4 million). Geratherm Medical's equity capital as of Sept. 30 amounted to EUR 17.8 million (2010: EUR 20.8 million). The equity capital in the balance sheet total is 73.8%. The return on equity was 11.8% for the first nine months of the current fiscal year. As of the end of September, the company had cash, cash equivalents and securities in the amount of EUR 9.0 million (2010: EUR 12.1 million). Thus, the company has a solid financial position, even for the arising opportunities.

With regard to long-term assets, development costs in the amount of 181 kEUR were written off. The write-offs were implemented together with the launch of new products. In case of tangible assets, technical equipment and machinery increased considerably (+407 kEUR), which was attributed mainly to expanding the capacity and increasing the productivity.

Inventories increased by 5.2%. The receivables and other assets also increased by 7.0%. As of the end of September, the company held securities worth EUR 6.2 million (2010: EUR 6.5 million).

The gross cash flow for the first nine months was EUR 1.790 million (2010: EUR 2.104 million). The cash flow from operations was 987 kEUR (2010: -380 kEUR). The cash flow from investments was EUR -1.918 million (2010: EUR -1.764 million). The cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period under review amounted to EUR 2.814 million (2010: EUR 5.315 million).

Notes on Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the Period from January 1 to September 30, 2011

Accounting and Valuation Methods

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Geratherm Medical AG as at 9/30/2011 were prepared in accordance with the rules of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid on the date of the financial statements and in consideration of the guidance provided by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as is mandatory in the European Union.

The accounting, evaluation and consolidation principles were maintained, as shown in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for 2010 Fiscal Year.

The valuation of assets and liabilities is based in part on estimates and/or assumptions about future developments. For instance, the statements on economic useful life for long-term assets are based on estimates and assumptions. In addition, the assessment of recoverability of deferred taxation allocated to the losses carried forward and the capitalized development costs is based on the corporate planning, which of course involves uncertainties such that the actual values may deviate from the made assumptions and estimates in individual cases. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are regularly checked and evaluated with regard to possible impact on accounting.

Consolidated Group

No changes occurred in the composition of the consolidation group as of Sept. 30, 2011. The following share quotas apply in detail:

Percentage of Percentage of

apoplex medical technologies GmbH, Pirmasens, Germany 61.00 % 61.00 %
Geratherm Respiratory GmbH, Bad Kissingen, Germany 61.27 % 61.27 %
Geratherm Medical do Brasil Ltda., Sao Paulo, Brazil 51.00% 51.00%

The share capital of apoplex medical technologies GmbH was increased by EUR 100,000 to EUR 500,000 in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders' meeting from May 9, 2011. Of which Geratherm Medical AG assumed a capital share of EUR 61,000 in accordance with its percentage of shares. The new share capital of apoplex was paid in full. Entry in the Commercial Register was carried out on June 16, 2011.

Long-term assets

The slight decrease in long-term assets as at Sept. 30, 2011 is due mainly to the write-offs for the capitalized development costs and the decrease in deferred tax assets as a result of the use of losses carried forward. In the area of tangible assets, 589 kEUR were invested to increase production capacities for gallium-filled thermometers.

Short-term assets

The short-term tangible assets increased with regard to inventories to EUR 5.047 million (2010: EUR 4.799 million and to EUR 4.347 million in the area of receivables and other assets (2010: EUR 4.064 million).

The sale of securities resulted in a gain in the amount of 908 kEUR (2010: 873 kEUR). The change in the securities at the prices valid on the reporting date, Sept. 30, 2011, was mainly reported in the market assessment reserve without having any effect on the income statement and amounted to EUR -1.003 million (2010: EUR 1.949 million).

The cash flow from investments amounting to EUR -1.918 million (2010: EUR -1.764 million) resulted from the purchase of fixed assets and intangible assets and the purchase and sale of financial assets. The cash flow from financing activities encompassed essentially the outflow of funds from the dividend payments and amounted to EUR -1.774 million as of the reporting date (2010: EUR 1.756 million).
