The positive development of the corporation also continued during the 1st quarter of 2010. All product areas recorded a good demand. All in all, a turnover growth was achieved of plus 27.2 %. The quarterly turnover rose to the amount of mEUR 4.0.
Growth impulses were recorded by the segment of Healthcare Diagnostics, and here especially by the product group of clinical thermometers, which reached a growth rate of approx. 40 %. Despite this high growth, we were not able to satisfy the demand for gallium thermometers fully. Thus, we expect further strong turnover growth for the following quarters.
The gross period earnings (EBITDA) have increased clearly by 22.4 % as compared to the comparative period of the previous year to reach kEUR 703. Owing to the advance investment in personnel and training of newly employed staff members, the personnel expenditure rose above average by 29.6 %. Due to depreciation of completed development services and equipment investments, started for the first time, the depreciation volume doubled as compared to the previous year's quarter. This led to a below average increase in the earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) by 9.9 %, as compared to the previous year's 1st quarter, to reach kEUR 549. Due to a positive financial result in the amount of kEUR 460, a result from ordinary business activities was recorded in the amount of mEUR 1.0 for the 1st quarter of 2010. The period result after tax for the shares of the parent company amounts to kEUR 911 (previous year: kEUR 82) or 18 cents per share (previous year: 2 cents); including the earnings and expenditure directly included in the equity capital in the amount of kEUR 470, the total group earnings for the 1st quarter of 2010 amounts to kEUR 1,332.

During the first three months, Geratherm Medical again generated a clearly higher turnover in the amount of mEUR 4.0 as compared to the comparative period of the previous year. The turnover increase of 27.2 %, however, was still influenced negatively by delivery shortages in our commissioned production and the delayed start of our own production. Without these factors, the growth would have been even greater. The growth was driven, above all, by the strong demand for clinical thermometers, but other product areas also developed positively. Geratherm products are exported at a rate of 86.3 %. In Germany, a turnover loss of - 25.5 % had to be recorded. The reason for this was to be seen clearly in the supply shortages in two product groups that were not available on time in the 1st quarter. The situation will recover in the following quarters. Sales in the USA developed favourably, with a near quadruple result as compared to the previous year's period. The other regions also recorded strong increases, such as the Middle East and South America, who contributed above average to corporate growth.
Products from the segment of Health Care Diagnostics, which are marketed internationally to pharmacies and clinics, represented the mainstay of Geratherm Medical turnover with a share of 91.2 %. Thermometers filled with gallium (44.5 %) and blood pressure meters (19.4 %) represent significant products in this area.
Sales in the segment of Healthcare Diagnostics could be expanded by 28.5 % in the 1st quarter of 2010. The other product areas also developed positively, albeit at a lower level.
The earnings situation of Geratherm Medical has also developed positively as compared to the same period of the previous year. The gross margin of turnover increased by 21.5 % to reach kEUR 2,338. The gross result (EBITDA) rose by 22.4 % to reach kEUR 703. The EBITDA margin amounted to 17.8 % (previous year: 18.5 %) in the 1st quarter. The depreciation doubled to reach kEUR 154 (previous year: kEUR 75), as completed development services were depreciated for the first time. At the same time, there was higher depreciation for purchases of additional production equipment. As a result, this led to a below average increase in the operating result (EBIT) by plus 9.9 % to reach kEUR 549 (previous year: kEUR 500). The accounted operating result (EBIT) comprises the loss for the new product segments.
At the end of the 1st quarter, there was a positive financial result in the amount of kEUR 460, which resulted mainly from the sale of securities that had been purchased in the 3rd quarter of 2009. A result from ordinary business activities in the amount of kEUR 1,009 (previous year: kEUR 51) could be accounted for the first three months of the current business year. All in all, a net period result was achieved for the shareholders of the parent company of kEUR 911 (previous year: kEUR 82). The result per share amounted to 18 cents (previous year: 2 cents) for the first quarter of 2010.
The company Geratherm Medical features a sound financial situation. The balance sum of mEUR 28.0 is constituted mainly by equity capital mEUR 22.5. The equity capital ratio amounted to 80.3 % (previous year: 83.7 %). of the balance sum on due date. As per 31 March 2010, the company held cash and securities in the amount of mEUR 15.8 (previous year: mEUR 4.7). The company is thus well equipped financially for the growth phase ahead and for possible company acquisitions.
The balance sum was increased from mEUR 22.7 to mEUR 28.0 during the period under review. The rise in the balance sum is due mainly to the successfully placed increase in capital among international investors on 11 March 2010 through which the company received a gross inflow of mEUR 3.6. Due to the growth, the balance item technical equipment and machines under construction increased by approx. kEUR 400. The inventories and the accounts receivable rose by approx. 6.3 % in the 1st quarter.
The gross cash flow amounted to kEUR 502 (previous year: kEUR 584) in the 1st quarter. The cash flow from operating activities decreased to kEUR 492 (previous year: kEUR 748). The cash flow from financing activities rose due to the increase in capital by mEUR 3.6 Mio. At the end of the first quarter, the cash and cash equivalents amounted to kEUR 9,045 (previous year: kEUR 2,113).
Activities for many new product developments were stepped up in the core business of Health Care Diagnostics. The share of research and development activities in the areas of apoplex and Respiratory is above average. The validation study conducted on the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation has been concluded and is currently at the analysis stage. The exact date for the presentation of the results is not known to us yet, as this is at the discretion of our study partner and client. We expect to have the results available in the medium-term.
The Geratherm Group employed a total of 126 staff members on 31 March 2010 (previous year: 92 staff members). A total of 92.9 % of the personnel was employed in Germany. The growth in workforce resulted mainly from the expansion of production of the gallium thermometer area.
Following the good 1st quarter, the Geratherm Medical Board of Management expects a continuation of the positive course of business for the year 2010. The growth rates should be maintained. The earnings quality should be improved in the second quarter.
The main drivers for growth were both the sustained demand for mercury-free products, as a consequence of the new EU regulation, as well as the market launch of new products.
Thanks to the sound financial situation and healthy structure of capital, Geratherm Medical has good prerequisites to finance the planned growth and absorb possible risks financially.
We are delighted to welcome our shareholders at this year's Shareholders' Meeting at the Pullman Hotel in Erfurt, am Domplatz, on 7th June 2010, at 02.00 p.m. We are happy to be available to you for any additional queries on that day.

Geratherm Medical AG's unaudited interim group statement for the first quarter of 2010 has been drawn up in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations provided by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable on accounting day, the application of which is required bindingly by the European Union.
The principles of accounting, valuation and consolidation were retained as described in the appendix to the group financial statement for 2010.
The evaluation of assets and liabilities is based partly on estimates or assumptions about future developments. The stipulations concerning the economic life for long-term assets, in particular, are based on assumptions and estimates. Furthermore, the evaluation of the intrinsic value of the deferred tax accrual on the carryover of accumulated losses and the capitalised development costs is based on the company's planning, which is, naturally, subject to uncertainties, so that in some cases, the actual values may diverge from the assumptions and estimates made, Estimates and the assumptions on which they are based are revised regularly and their possible effects on accounting are assessed.
There were no changes to the consolidated group of companies by the first quarter of 2010.
The increase in long-term assets as per 31 March 2010 results mainly from investments in the area of fixed assets, Technical equipment and machines as well as equipment under construction in the amount of kEUR 435 were capitalised for augmenting the production capacities for gallium thermometers.
The short-term assets increased by 31 March 2010 due to growth by kEUR 186 in the inventories and by kEUR 169 in the accounts receivable and other assets.

The change in the amount of available cash and cash equivalents adds up to a total of kEUR 3,342 (prev, year kEUR 740) and is to be ascribed to the cash inflow from the increase in capital.
