Dear shareholders and interested parties of Geratherm Medical,

The dynamic revenue and earnings development of Geratherm continued in the 2nd quarter of 2010. Virtually all product areas continued to record above average growth. Turnover in the 2nd quarter of 2010 was 24.9 % up on that of the previous year at 4 million EUR. Company earnings (EBIT) increased still more markedly in the last three months by 52.4 % to 707 kEUR.

There was strong demand for Geratherm products in virtually all markets. Our biggest growth was in South America with a plus of 51.5 %. We also recorded strong development on the USA market with a plus of 46.8 %. Sales on the German market showed below average development with a minus of 16.5 %.

The increase in business volume is further facilitated by the implementation of the EU mercury ban. But the increasing importance of new environmental legislation from other countries is also currently increasing demand.

The quality of earnings of Geratherm products further improved in the 2nd quarter of 2010. The EBITDA margin increased to 21.1 % (previous year: 16.7 %). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached 707 kEUR (previous year: 464 kEUR).The EBIT margin was 17.5% (previous year: 14.4 %). The financial result in the 2nd quarter of 2010 was 99 kEUR (previous year: 415 kEUR). The period result after tax for Geratherm shareholders for the 2nd quarter amounts to 625 kEUR or 13 cents per share (previous year: 18 cents per share). A net period result of 1,535 kEUR (+68.4%) was achieved overall for the 1st half of 2010.

Trading volume

Trading volume in the 1st half of 2010 was in line with our plan estimates with a plus of 26.0 %. The limitation on sales growth is currently down to the still insufficient production capacity. We are however in the process of successively adjusting these capacities to the high demand. Without these production bottlenecks, the growth to date of Geratherm Medical would have been markedly higher.

Apart from the domestic market, all the sales markets of Geratherm exhibit a positive trend. We will devote more attention to the development of sales on the domestic market in the coming months. 87 % of Geratherm products are exported. The distribution of turnover by individual regions will also not change significantly in the course of the financial year.

The mainstay of sales of Geratherm Medical in the first six months, with a 91.3 % 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 blood pressure monitors (18.6 %).

Sales in the Healthcare Diagnostics segment rose by 28.7 % in the first half of 2010. There were also positive contributions to growth from the other segments, medical warming systems (+15.7 %) and cardio/stroke (+42.3 %). The Respiratory segment recorded a fall in sales in the first half of to 305 kEUR, but this is due to a major order in this period in the previous year. We are expecting a turnover of 200 kEUR for this segment for the 3rd quarter of 2010.

Earnings situation

The earnings situation of Geratherm Medical from operational business further improved in comparison with the same period in the previous year. Gross profit developed in parallel to turnover gain in the 1st half of 2010 with a plus of 26.1 %. Material and personnel costs likewise developed in parallel to the higher volume of sales with a plus of 23.1 % and 26.5 % respectively. Gross earnings (EBITDA) rose in the course of the first half of the year to 1,556 kEUR (+39.6 %). The operating result (EBIT) increased to 1,256 kEUR (+ 30.4 %). As a result of the higher volume of investment in the expansion of production facilities, capital consumption increased in the 1st half of the year to 300 kEUR (+98.2 %).

A positive financial result of 559 kEUR was also achieved for the period under review, January – June 2010. Together with the operational results, this gave a profit from ordinary business activities of 1,815 kEUR for the 1st half of 2010. This is nearly double that of the comparable period of the previous year. Minus taxes on income and profits, a group period result is shown for the 1st half of 2010 of 1,462 kEUR (+73.6 %). The period result of the minority equity amounts to -73 kEUR. This means that overall a net period result for Geratherm shareholders of 1,535 kEUR (+ 68.4 %) was achieved. Earnings per share for the 1st half of 2010 amount to 31 cents (previous year: 20 cents).

Assets and financial position

Geratherm Medical has sound liquidity, which was further strengthened by the capital increase at the end of the 1st quarter of 2010. The total assets of 25.7 million EUR are principally represented by equity capital of 20.2 million EUR. The equity ratio as at the reporting date is 78.7 %. The return on equity for the allocated capital amounts to 15.2 % for the 1st half of 2010. At the end of the 1st half of 2010, the company has liquid assets and securities amounting to 11.9 million EUR (previous year: 5.8 million EUR). The company is thereby financially well equipped for the current growth phase and for possible corporate acquisitions.

The rise in the balance sheet total from 22.7 million EUR to 25.7 million EUR is principally as a result of the successfully placed capital increase. Tangible assets increased through investment from 2.3 million EUR to 2.7 million EUR. There was a significant increase in finished products and goods, which show a significant seasonal increase to 2.6 million EUR. Trade receivables increased by 30.4 % to 3.1 million EUR. The securities portfolio on 30th June 2010 amounted to 6.0 million EUR, the instruments of payment amounted to 5.9 million EUR.

Gross cash flow as at 30th June 2010 totalled 1,370 kEUR (previous year: 1,132 kEUR). Cash flow from operating activities became negative through the increase in inventories and amounted to -473 kEUR. Cash flow from investment activity totalled -1,086 kEUR. 588 kEUR of this flowed as investment into the fixed capital. Instruments of payment at the end of the period under review amounted to 5,859 kEUR.

Research and development

In the core business Healthcare Diagnostics, numerous new product designs, which will be launched onto the market in the course of the 2nd half of 2010, continue to be pushed. The proportion of product designs and R&D activities in the apoplex and Respiratory segments is disproportionately high. The validation study carried out in the apoplex segment on the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is still undergoing medical evaluation by our partners. The validation study carried out at apoplexy on determining the risk for atrial fibrillation is still undergoing medical evaluation by the study partners.

The number of SRA users (doctors and hospitals) who utilise stroke risk analysis (SRA), has increased markedly from last year. As at the end of June, the figure of 596 connected users is roughly double that of the comparable period of the previous year. In the month of June, apoplex medical technologies`stroke risk analysis was carried out by doctors at their practices alone (without hospitals) on approximately 1,000 patients (+70.3% on the previous year).

Personnel

On 30th June 2010, the Geratherm Group employed a total of 128 employees (previous year: 102 employees). 93.0 % of the personnel are 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, both sales volume and quality of earnings should rise once more.

With its sound financial position and healthy capital structure, Geratherm has the right prerequisites to finance the intended growth and cushion possible risks.

The ASM on 7th June 2010 took place for the first time in Erfurt. In this way, we had the opportunity to meet numerous shareholders who had up to now not been able to come to Frankfurt.

All the items on the agenda were discussed at this year's ASM and approved by our shareholders. Shareholder presence was 66.01 % of the represented share capital.

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

Accounting and valuation methods

The unaudited interim financial statement of Geratherm Medical AG for the half-year of 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 2nd quarter of 2010 as follows:

Amount of holding Amount of holding
Companies 2010 2009
GME Rechte und Beteiligungen GmbH, Geschwenda / Germany 100.00 % 100.00 %
apoplex medical technologies GmbH, Pirmasens / Germany 60.00 % 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.

Non-current assets

The increase in non-current assets at 30th June 2010 results mainly from investments in the field of tangible assets. Technical assets and machines as well as assets under construction worth 578 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 June 2010 by 1,391 kEUR with inventories and by 732 kEUR with receivables and other assets.

The securities portfolio changed through purchase and through the exercise of subscription rights by 1,776 kEUR (previous year: 634 kEUR) as well as through the sale of securities by 1,278 kEUR (previous year: 719 kEUR). A profit of 734 kEUR (previous year: 403 kEUR) derives from the sale of securities. The change in the securities portfolio at the period-end exchange rate on 30th June 2010 was recorded largely without affecting profit or loss in the market assessment reserve and amounts to 1,755 kEUR (previous year: 705 kEUR). In accordance with IAS 39.67, the write-off for Adolor Corp. was recognised immediately in profit and loss at 58 kEUR.

As at 30th June 2010, the change in available means of payment is 156 kEUR (previous year: 857 kEUR). Cash flow before any change in the budgetary commitment amounting to 1,370 kEUR (previous year: 1,132 kEUR) is seen alongside changes in cash assets amounting to -1,843 kEUR (previous year: +461 kEUR). Cash flow from investment activity amounting to -1,086 kEUR (previous year: -364 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 1,715 kEUR on the effective date (previous year: -372 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 June 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 is fully paid. The capital increase was entered in the Commercial Register on 15th March 2010. The number of shares in circulation as at 30th June 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 June 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. Dividend payment of 1,979,999.60 EUR occurred on 8th June 2010.

The development in share capital was presented in the statement of changes in Group equity.

The consolidated interim financial statement on hand for 30th June 2010 has not been subject to review by an auditing firm.

We hereby confirm that, to the best of our knowledge and in keeping with the principles of proper group interim reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements provide a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the group, that the group management report presents the course of business, including the results of operations and the position of the group, in such a way as to provide a true and fair view and that the key opportunities and risks relating to the anticipated development of the group over the remainder of the financial year are described.
