Dear shareholders and interested parties of Geratherm Medical,

The positive revenue and earnings development of Geratherm also continued in the 3rd quarter of 2010. Geratherm's core business in the Healthcare sector developed in extremely strong fashion for the sixth successive quarter with an above-average growth rate of 26.1 %.

Important milestones were reached in the still new business areas, forming the basis for the further business development. Thus, we obtained FDA approval in the Warming Systems sector on 20th September 2010 for our newly developed rescue systems. The same applies to the operating room warming systems, for which we subsequently likewise received FDA approval on 19th October 2010, paving the way for their marketing on the US market. An initial joint study with the University of Heidelberg on our product SRA for the detection of atrial fibrillation was published in August 2010.

Expenditure on further product developments in the new business sectors and investments in the capacity increase at the Thuringia site are currently at an above-average level. We are however of the opinion that we are thereby creating a sound platform for further company growth.

Overall turnover grew by 17.5 % in the 3rd quarter of 2010 compared with the relatively strong quarter of the previous year. The gross profit again increased at an above-average rate with a plus of 23.4 % compared with the previous year's quarter. Higher preproduction costs in the personnel sector and other operating expenses led to a below-average operating result. The EBIT margin in the 3rd quarter of 2010 was 14.0 % (previous year: 16.3 %).

There was strong demand for Geratherm products in virtually all regions. Our biggest growth in the first nine months was in South America with a plus of 63.4 %. Sales on the European market in the first nine months increased by 28.8 %, while those on the German market showed below-average development with a minus of 18.2 % compared with the previous year.

Owing to higher preproduction cost for personnel and other operating expenses, the operating result in the 3rd quarter only increased slightly to 627 kEUR. A result of 76 kEUR (previous year 65 kEUR) was recorded for the financial result in the 3rd quarter. The result from ordinary business activities in the third quarter totalled 702 kEUR. With the 167 kEUR reduction of deferred taxes (non-cash), a period result for Geratherm shareholders of 465 kEUR (-18.6 %) is derived.

The accumulated result for ordinary business activities for the first nine months is 2,518 kEUR (previous year: 1,614 kEUR). The period result for Geratherm shareholders for the nine-month period of the current business year amounts to 2,001 kEUR (previous year: 1,483 kEUR). The result per share increased in this period to 40 cents (previous year: 33 cents).

Turnover development

Turnover development in the first nine months of 2010 was in line with our plan estimates with a plus of 22.8 %. Total turnover of 12.5 million EUR was recorded. Demand for Geratherm products, particularly for environmentally friendly products with gallium filling, remains high. Our subsidiary in Sao Paulo also showed positive development by reason of the dynamic economic growth in Brazil with an increase in turnover of 63.4 %. Turnover development on the domestic market is unsatisfactory with a minus of 18.2 %, but has been exhibiting an improving trend in the past two months. 88 % of Geratherm products are exported.

Turnover by region 1st January – 30th September 2010

The mainstay of sales of Geratherm Medical in the first nine months, with a 92.1% share, are products in the healthcare diagnostics segment, which are marketed internationally to pharmacies and hospitals. Important products in this segment are gallium-filled thermometers (48.8 %) and sphygmomanometers (19.1 %).

Turnover by segment 1st January – 30th September 2010

Sales in the healthcare diagnostics segment rose by 26.1 % in the first nine months. The medical warming segment likewise exhibited an increase in turnover of 10.7 % compared with the previous year. Development in the Cardio/Stroke segment was markedly weaker. However, it needs to be taken into consideration here that a major order was transacted in September last year for a clinical study, so that there is no precise comparability. The customer base and the settled analyses in this segment are increasing strongly. By the end of September, 7,960 analyses of patients with atrial fibrillation had been carried out – that is 57.7 % more than in the comparable period of the previous year. Licence agreements likewise currently exist with nine stroke centres in Germany (previous year: 3), which are permanently using our technology in their atrial fibrillation diagnostics.

The respiratory segment managed to make up the fall in sales of the last three months, but in total only exhibits a below-average growth of 2.7 %. We expect strong sales impulses from this segment in the 4th quarter of 2010.

Profit situation

The operative profit situation of Geratherm Medical has improved compared with the same period of the previous year. With a plus of 25.1 % in the first nine month of 2010, gross profit developed at an above-average rate to increase in turnover (+22.8 %). Material costs increased in parallel to the higher volume of sales. Personnel costs increased at an above-average rate in relation to increase in turnover with a plus of 26.4 %.

Gross earnings (EBITDA) rose in the course of the first nine months to 2,327 kEUR (+27.1 %). The higher volume of investment in the expansion of production facilities led to a higher depreciable amount. The same applies to the marketing launch of nine products and the associated first-time depreciations of development costs. The overall depreciable amount increased sharply by 78.7 % to 445 kEUR.

The operating result (EBIT) increased to 1,883 kEUR (+19.0 %). In addition, a positive financial result of 635 kEUR was achieved for the period under review, January – September 2010. Together with the operational results, this gave a profit from ordinary business activities of 2,518 kEUR (+56.0 %) for the first nine months of the current business year. Minus taxes amounting to 608 kEUR, principally burdened by a reduction of deferred taxes totalling 447 kEUR, a group period result is shown for the nine months of 1,909 kEUR (+36.3 %). The period result of the minority equity amounts to -91 kEUR.

In total, a net period result for Geratherm shareholders of 2,001 kEUR (+34.9 %) was achieved. Earnings per share for the first nine months amount to 40 cents (previous year: 33 cents).

Asset and financial position

Geratherm Medical has a sound financial basis. The total assets of 26.4 million EUR are largely represented by equity capital of 20.8 million EUR. The equity ratio as at the reporting date is 78.8 %. The return on equity for the allocated capital amounts to 12.8 % for the first nine months. At the end of the period under review, the company has liquid assets and securities amounting to 12.1 million EUR (previous year: 7.7 million EUR). The company is thereby financially well equipped for the current growth phase.

The rise in the balance sheet total from 22.7 million EUR to 26.4 million EUR is principally attributable to the capital increase in the 1st quarter of this year. Long-term assets, at 5.9 million EUR, remained at approximately the same level as at the end of last year. Intangible assets fell by 19.1 % to 839 kEUR. This is principally attributable to the first-time depreciation of the capitalised investment costs. Tangible assets increased through investment from 2.3 million EUR to 2.8 million EUR. Current assets increased markedly as a result of the strong company growth, particularly inventories and trade receivables. Stock value increased by 51.1 % to 4.3 million EUR. Receivables likewise increased by 48.2 % to 4.1 million EUR. The securities portfolio on 30th September 2010 amounted to 6.8 million EUR (+26.7 %); the instruments of payment amounted to 5.3 million EUR (-6.8 %).

Gross cash flow as at 30th September 2010 totalled 2,104 kEUR (previous year: 1,847 kEUR). Owing to the strong growth, the funds commitment increased significantly through an increase in inventories and trade receivables, so that cash flow from operating activities in the period under review was -380 kEUR. Cash flow from investment activity was -1,764 kEUR. 773 kEUR of this flowed as investment into fixed capital. Instruments of payment at the end of the period under review amounted to 5,315 kEUR.

Research and development

We reached various milestones in the field of product development and approval in the 3rd quarter. After a year's preparation, we have obtained FDA approval for the active warming systems developed by us in the fields of rescue and operating theatres in hospitals, clearing the way to the US market.

A study was published jointly with the Department of Neurology and Cardiology of the University of Heidelberg and the Department of Epidemiology and Gerontology at the German Centre for Cancer Research (DKFZ) in Heidelberg on the product SRA for the detection of atrial fibrillation on 18th August 2010. A total of 136 patients were included in the study. The study findings with the Automatic Screening Algorithm ASA (SRA) were published in the Cardiovascular Disease Journal.

The product SRA (Stroke/Risk/Analyser) is encountering an increasingly dynamic market. In particular, from the pharmaceutical industry, drugs are coming onto the market for the first time that treat strokes caused by atrial fibrillation. All the big pharmaceutical companies are currently working on active agents to combat strokes. The medicine Multaq from Sanofi Aventis has already been approved since last year.

On 21st October this year, the drug Pradaxa from Boehringer Ingelheim for the prevention of strokes in the event of cardiac arrhythmias was approved for the US market. Bayer likewise is currently developing, under the name Xarelto, a medicine to prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation. The market for this type of medicines is estimated at more than 10 billion US dollars and is just emerging.

Personnel

On 30th September 2010, the Geratherm Group employed a total of 133 employees (previous year: 106 employees). 93.2 % of staff is employed in Germany. The growth in personnel resulted principally from the production expansion in the gallium thermometer segment at our location in Thuringia.

Outlook

We expect a continuation of the current business development in the further course of the year. If general conditions remain unchanged, we should again be able to record a double-digit increase in turnover in the 4th quarter.

With its sound financial position and healthy capital structure, Geratherm has the right prerequisites for financing the intended growth and cushioning possible risks.

It should also be mentioned that on 4th November 2010, after the period under review, our subsidiary apoplex medical technologies GmbH, Pirmasens, was awarded the 2010 Innovation Prize of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate for the "development of a stroke-risk analysis for clinical use for the fully automatic detection of atrial fibrillation or a risk of atrial fibrillation".

Notes on the consolidated interim financial statement for the period from 1st January 2010 to 30th September 2010

Accounting and valuation methods

The unaudited interim financial statement of Geratherm Medical AG as at 30th September 2010 was drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as effective at the closing date and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as they are mandated in the European Union.

The accounting, valuation and consolidation methods were, as shown in the annex of the 2009 consolidated financial statement, maintained.

The valuation of assets and liabilities is partially based on estimates or assumptions of and about future developments. Thus, the specification of economic useful lives for non-current assets in particular is based on assumptions and estimates. In addition, the assessment of the intrinsic value of the tax deferrals and accruals attributable to the tax losses carried forward and the capitalised development costs rests on corporate planning, which is naturally associated with uncertainties, so that in particular cases the actual values may deviate from the assumptions and estimates made. Estimates and their underpinning assumptions are regularly checked and evaluated on their possible effects on the accounting.

Consolidated companies

The consolidated companies changed in the 3rd quarter of 2010 as follows:

Amount of holding Amount of holding
Companies 2010 2009

apoplex medical technologies GmbH, Pirmasens / Germany 61.00 % 60.00 %
Geratherm Respiratory GmbH, Bad Kissingen / Germany 61.27 % 55.00 %
Geratherm Medical do Brasil Ltda., Sao Paulo / Brazil 51.00 % 51.00 %

The share capital of Geratherm Respiratory GmbH was increased in line with a corporate decision of 27th April 2010 by 150,000 EUR to 650,000 EUR. Geratherm Medical AG took over a further company share of this of 123,250 EUR. The amount of holding thereby increased from 55.00 % to 61.27 %. The new share capital of Respiratory has been paid in full. Registration in the commercial register took place on 25th May 2010.

The share capital of apoplex medical technologies GmbH was increased in line with the shareholders' resolution of 20th September 2010 by 100,000 EUR to 400,000 EUR. Geratherm Medical AG took over a company share of this of 64,000 EUR in total. The amount of holding thereby increased from 60.00 % to 61.00 %. The increased company shares participate in the company's profit and loss from 1st October 2010. The new share capital of apoplex has been paid in full. Registration in the commercial register took place on 11th October 2010.

Non-current assets

The increase in non-current assets as at 30th September 2010 results mainly from investments in the field of tangible assets. Technical assets and machines as well as assets under construction worth 764 kEUR were capitalised for the increase in production capacities for gallium thermometers.

Current assets

Current assets increased as a result of growth as at 30th September 2010 by 1,442 kEUR with inventories and by 1,344 kEUR with receivables and other assets.

The securities portfolio changed through purchase and through the exercise of subscription rights by 2,437 kEUR (previous year: 909 kEUR) as well as through the sale of securities by 1,446 kEUR (previous year: 846 kEUR). A profit of 873 kEUR (previous year: 496 kEUR) derives from the sale of securities. The change in the securities portfolio at the period-end exchange rate on 30th September 2010 was recorded largely without affecting profit or loss in the market assessment reserve and amounts to 1,949 kEUR (previous year: 2,135 kEUR). In accordance with IAS 39.67, the writeoff for Adolor Corp. was recognised in profit and loss at 106 kEUR.

As at 30th September 2010, the change in available means of payment is -388 kEUR (previous year: 1,038 kEUR). Cash flow before any change in the budgetary commitment amounting to 2,104 kEUR (previous year: 1,847 kEUR) is to be seen alongside changes in cash assets amounting to -2,484 kEUR (previous year: +254 kEUR). Cash flow from investment activity amounting to -1,764 kEUR (previous year: -740 kEUR) derives from the acquisition of tangible fixed assets and intangible assets and the acquisition and sale of financial assets. Cash flow from financing activities principally comprises the capital inflow from the capital increase in the 1st quarter and the capital outflow from the dividend distribution and was 1,756 kEUR on the effective date (previous year: -323 kEUR).

Equity capital

The board of directors of Geratherm Medical AG, with the approval of the supervisory board, implemented an increase of the share capital on 11th March 2010 utilising the authorised capital stock through the issue of 449,999 new no-par-value bearer shares to the exclusion of the shareholders' subscription rights. The new shares were successfully placed at a price of 8.00 EUR per share.

The subscribed capital of Geratherm Medical AG as at 30th September 2010 totals 4,949,999 EUR (previous year: 4,500,000 EUR) and is divided into 4,949,999 (previous year: 4,500,000) no-par-value bearer shares. The subscribed capital has been paid in full. The capital increase was entered in the Commercial Register on 15th March 2010. The number of shares in circulation as at 30th September 2010 was 4,949,999.

The authorisation of 12th June 2006 of the board of directors, with the approval of the supervisory board, to increase the share capital to 11th June 2011, against contributions in cash or in kind, on one or on several occasions, by a total of up to 2,250,000 EUR, whereby the subscription rights of shareholders may be excluded, was reduced to 1,800,001 EUR.

The capital reserve as at 30th September 2010 is 10,577 kEUR (previous year: 7,570 kEUR). The increase of 3,150 kEUR from the capital increase is reduced by the equity procurement costs after tax amounting to 143 kEUR.

At the annual general meeting in Erfurt on 7th June 2010, the shareholders of Geratherm Medical AG approved of the distribution of a tax-neutral dividend of 0.40 EUR per share from the shareholders' contribution account for tax purposes (according to § 27 of the KStG (Corporation Tax Act)) on the share capital amounting to 4,949,999 EUR.
