Dear Shareholders and Parties Interested in Geratherm Medical,

The company was able to continue its positive development during the first quarter of 2011. All product segments reported considerable double-digit growth rates. Aboveaverage impetus for growth came especially from the new product areas.

Expenses for marketing and product developments were well above average during the first quarter of 2011. The operating result did not increase to the same degree as the sales development.

With a sales increase of 20.8% the gross profit increased at an above-average rate by 24.9%. The gross margin amounted to 61.0% of sales during the first quarter (2010: 59.1%). The personnel expenses increased by 16.2%. During the first quarter, an aboveaverage increase (+51.0%) was posted in other operating expenses, which can be attributed essentially due to additional costs for marketing, sales and product development. The higher costs resulted in a below-average development of the operating result. No noteworthy financial earnings were generated in comparison to the first quarter last year. The result from ordinary business activities is therefore lower by 40.7% with 598 kEUR compared to the same quarter last year. The shareholders' back tax result for the first quarter amounted to 476 kEUR or 10 EUR cents per share (2010: 18 EUR cents).

Sales Development

Geratherm Medical generated a sales of EUR 4.8 million during the first quarter. That represents once again a clear growth of 20.8% compared to the reference period of 2010. The demand for Geratherm products, especially gallium-filled products, remained high. The gallium thermometer segment, which accounts for approx. 50% of corporate sales, showed strong growth again with 41.3% compared to the reference period of 2010.

86.2% of Geratherm products are exported. Domestic sales recovered and managed to exhibit an above-average growth of 22.3%. The sales in the European market increased again by 34.6%. The sales of Geratherm products experienced positive development, especially in Italy. Due to the high inventory levels in the US, sales were significantly lower in the first three months on the US market. For the South American market we posted a clear increase in sales of +70.5% compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Sales experienced a weaker development in other countries, in particular in the Middle East region, which exhibited an 25.5% decrease in sales.

Turnover according to segments 01/01/- 31/03/2011

The sales generated by the Healthcare Diagnostic segment increased by 17.5% during the first three months of the current year. The new product areas have generated greater dynamics for the first time. The Medical Warming Systems segment posted a sales growth of 43.1%. The award from Frost & Sullivan, which we received at the end of the first quarter of 2011, has had a positive impact on the marketing of the Medical Warming Systems. The Medical Warming Systems from Geratherm were distinguished as the best product in its segment with the "Product Differentiation Excellence Award 2011". The award was presented in London on May 18, 2011.

The sales in the Cardio/Stroke segment also developed positively with an 18.2% increase. The number of connected stroke prevention centers increased by another three centers during the first quarter. The positive development of this segment is likely to accelerate with the publication of other studies.

The sales of new products for testing pulmonary function also performed very encouragingly. Sales increased by 81.1% compared to the prior year. The products have been well received on the market. We strive to maintain our objective of doubling our sales in this segment during the current business year.

Earnings Situation

The operative earnings situation had further improved compared to the reference period of 2010. The gross profit was 2,918 kEUR (2010: 2,338 kEUR) or 61.0% of sales. After considerably higher personnel expenses in 2010, the personnel expenses experienced a below-average increase of +16.2%.

The gross profit (EBITDA) increased to 763 kEUR (+8.5%) in the first three months. The write-offs amounted to 166 kEUR (+7.7%). The other operating expenses registered a substantial increase of 374 kEUR or +51.0%. The increased other operating expenses weighed on the operating result.

The above-average increase in expenses is due in part to the high marketing and sales expenses. The transport costs, resulting from greater export activities, exhibited an above-average increase.

The operating result (EBIT) increased by 8.7% to a total 597 kEUR for the first three months. There were no noteworthy revenues from securities transactions or similar financial earnings during the first quarter. All in all, a financial result of 1 kEUR (2010: 460 kEUR) was reported. The result from ordinary business activities amounted to 598 kEUR (-40.7%) during the first three months of the current fiscal year. Income taxes weighed on the result with 211 kEUR, whereas 52 kEUR of that was effective tax burden. The non-cash decrease of the deferred tax assets accounted for the rest with 159 kEUR due to the use of losses carried forward. A consolidated net profit for the first three months of 387 kEUR (2010: 861 kEUR) was reported. The net result for minority interests was -89 kEUR.

During the first quarter, a net result was generated for Geratherm shareholders in the amount of 476 kEUR (2010: 911 kEUR). The result per share for the first quarter of 2011 was 10 EUR cent (2010: 18 EUR cents).

Net Assets and Financial Situation

Geratherm Medical enjoys a stable financial situation. The balance sheet total has remained almost the same with EUR 26.5 million compared to 2010 and is essentially formed by equity capital of EUR 20.8 million. The equity-to-assets ratio was 78.5% as of the reporting date. As of March 31, 2011 the company had cash, cash equivalents and securities in the amount of EUR 12.5 million (2010: EUR 15.8 million). Thus, the company has a solid financial position for the current phase of growth.

The balance sheet total decreased from EUR 27.0 million to EUR 26.5 million during the period under review.

The long-term assets declined slightly by 2.4% to EUR 5.9 million. The short-term assets registered a slight decrease of -3.0% with regard to inventories. Outstanding trade receivables were significantly lower. The accounts receivable and other assets decreased by 15.8% to EUR 3.4 million.

As of March 31, 2011, the company held securities worth EUR 7.2 million (+10.6%). The cash and cash equivalents declined by 3.6 % to EUR 5.3 million.

The gross cash flow for the first three months increased noticeably to 717 kEUR (2010: 502 kEUR). The cash flow from operations increased to 836 kEUR (2010: 492 kEUR). The cash flow from investments amounted to -931 kEUR (2010: -783 kEUR) and involved primarily cash outflow based on financial assets (-749 kEUR).

Research and Development

The projects implemented in Research and Development went for the most part according to plan. Several products in the Healthcare Diagnostic segment experienced delays as a result of approvals. Therefore, new products will be marketed during the last half of the business year. The share of R&D activities in the atrial fibrillation and cardio/stroke segments continues to be high. A study conducted by the University Hospital of Münster in the cardio/stroke segment to evaluate the "Stroke Risk Analysis" process (SRA) of apoplex medical technologies GmbH, was published in March of 2011. Another major study conducted by the University Hospital of Heidelberg will be presented on May 26 at the 20th European Stroke Conference in Hamburg.

Staff

The Geratherm Group had a staff of 139 persons in total as of March 31, 2011 (2010: 126). 93.5% of the employees are in Germany. The growth in personnel was due primarily to the expansion of the production of gallium-filled thermometers at our plant in Thuringia.

Outlook

Based on the positive development registered during the first three months, we anticipate that the business development to date will continue for the rest of the year. We expect further growth in sales. Due to the higher gallium prices, the purchase prices of materials are likely to increase so that we currently assume a disproportionately low development of earnings.

Thanks to its sound financial position and healthy capital structure, the company is well positioned to finance the planned growth and cushion any possible risks.

Notes on Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the Period from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011

Accounting and Valuation Methods

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Geratherm Medical AG were prepared for the first quarter of the 2011 fiscal year 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 in the consolidation group have occurred during the first quarter of 2011.

Long-term Assets

The slight decrease in long-term assets as at March 31, 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, 182 kEUR were invested to increase production capacities for gallium-filled thermometers.

Short-term Assets

The short-term assets decreased in the areas of inventories by 3.0% to 4,653 kEUR and by 15.8% to 3,424 kEUR with regard to accounts receivable and other assets. The company's level of securities changed as a result of purchase by 749 kEUR (2010: 1,374 kEUR). The valuation of the securities at the prices valid on the reporting date, March 31, 2011, resulted in a devaluation amounting to 57 kEUR without having any effect on the income statement as shown in the market assessment reserve (2010: revaluation 451 kEUR). The change in the available cash and cash equivalents is -200 kEUR (2010: 3,342 kEUR).

Equity Capital

The development of the equity capital is shown in the consolidated statement of change to the shareholders' equity.

The subscribed capital of Geratherm Medical AG amounts all in all to EUR 4,949,999 as at March 31, 2011 (2010: EUR 4,949,999) and is divided into 4,949,999 (2010: 4,949,999) share certificates issued to the bearers. The subscribed capital has been paid in full. As of the reporting date there were no shares held by the company.

The Executive Committee and Supervisory Board will propose to the general meeting in June 2011 to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share for the 2010 fiscal year. The dividend will be paid in full out of the contribution account for tax purposes within the meaning of Section 27 of the Corporation Tax Law. The amount will be paid out without deduction of capital gains tax or solidarity surcharge.
