The business development during the second quarter 2007 proved notably better than in the comparative period of the previous year. During the second quarter, the turnover increased by 7.5 %. The gross profit grew by 12.3 % and thus even more strongly than the turnover. The operating result stood at kEUR 124 and thus clearly above that of the previous year (previous year: kEUR 23). The financial result was also able to perform better at kEUR 132, so that the result of ordinary business activities of kEUR 256 was nearly double that of the previous year's quarter. The result per share also doubled during the second quarter 2007 to reach 6 cents (previous year: 3 cents).

A slight turnover growth of 1.3 % was recorded for the first half of the year. There were strong turnover increases in the markets of the USA and Asia. The turnover of EUR 4.3 million during the first half of 2007 was achieved with an export rate of 80.8 % - as in the previous year. The turnover of kEUR 820 in Germany was slightly higher than the previous year. The turnover of Geratherm was mainly generated through the foreign business.
The turnover split across the invidiual regions has remained relatively stable. There was a strong increase of 6.1 % in the US market. In Europe, there was a slight turnover drop of 5.1 %. The turnover in the region of the Middle East also developed somewhat more weakly, which was set off, however, by strong growth in Asia and Latin America. The Geratherm do Brasil subsidiary displayed strong growth, as in the previous year, and increased the turnover volume by 50.7 % to reach kEUR 440 over the first six months.
Turnover by regions 01.01.- 30.06.2007
Once again, the Analogue Diagnostics products on the basis of gallium proved the mainstays of turnover with a share of 40.5 %. The absolute turnover share continued to decrease – as planned – and stood at kEUR 1,728 for the first half. Altogether, the minus of 6.1 % for this product area was not as strong as during the first half of 2006. The turnover drop was influenced by currency exchange rates fluctuations, as a large part of the products are sold on US-dollar basis in the US-market.
The area of Digital Diagnostics was able to latch on to the growth achieved so far and recorded a plus of 7.1 % for this first half of 2007.
The turnover share of the Other Products area also increased by 7.0 % during the first half of 2007. The new product area of Warming Systems, included in the above business area, increased with a plus of 60.2 % to reach kEUR 269 during the first half of 2007. The turnover of the Cardio area, with the apoplex medical GmbH subsidiary recorded invoiced sales of kEUR 18 for the first time. As regards the second half of 2007, we expect to see further clear increases contributed by the new business areas of Geratherm.
Gross earnings from the turnover could be increased by 3.6 % to reach kEUR 2,421 during the first half of 2007. The gross margin amounted to 56.7 %. The brutto result (EBITDA) stood at kEUR 401 (previous year: kEUR 390). The operating result (EBIT) in the amount of kEUR 255 during the first half of 2007 displayed an increase of 11.9 % and was thus significantly higher than that of the previous year.
The earnings situation is still being influenced strongly negatively by the start-up losses of the new Cardio and Warming Systems business areas in the amount of kEUR 168. Without these investments, which are burdening the earnings statement of Geratherm negatively, we would be able to achieve a significantly more positive result in our regular business.
A positive financial result in the amount of kEUR 196 (previous year: kEUR 138) could be established, once again, for the first half of 2007. The interest earnings amounted to kEUR 69 (previous year: kEUR 65). In total, a result from ordinary business activity in the amount of kEUR 451 was generated from the operating result and the financial result, which was 23.4 % higher than that of the comparative period during the last year. The Group's after tax result (EAT) amounted to kEUR 469 during the first half of 2007, which corresponds with a plus of 31.0 % as compared to the same previous year's period. The earnings per share were 10 cents (previous year 8 cents).
As in the previous period, the Geratherm Medical company featured a sound asset situation. The balance sum of EUR 17.5 million was constituted mainly by equity capital. The equity capital ratio amounted to 91.0 %. As per 30 June 2007, the company held cash and securities in the amount of EUR 7.6 million (previous year: EUR 8.4 million). The return on equity amounted to 5.9 % (previous year: 4.3 %) for the first six months of 2007.
As regards the assets, the greatest changes were recorded in the short-term assets. The finished products and goods increased by kEUR 321 to reach kEUR 1,239 as per 30 June 2007, relating to the balancing date. There was a clear decrease in the receivables from deliveries and services, which were reduced by kEUR 493 to reach kEUR 1,702 relating to the balancing date.
The cashflow from the operating activity increased significantly to reach kEUR 774 (previous year: kEUR 257) during the first six months. The cashflow from investments amounted to kEUR -2,434, which is due to investments in securities. The cashflow from financing activity amounted to kEUR -1,643. This item reflected mainly the dividend payout in the amount of EUR 1.8 million for the business year 2006. The cash balance at the end of the reporting period stood at kEUR 1,826 (previous year: kEUR 3,313).
The research and development activities mainly concentrated on the two new areas of Warming Systems and Cardio during the first half of the year. In the area of Warming Systems, we focused on the development of a new generation of products, which we will introduce as of the middle of next year. The development expenditure will amount to approximately kEUR 200. In the Cardio area, we are continuing our efforts to broaden the scientific acceptance and to inform the medical users of the new method of detecting atrial fibrillation. Together with the University of Münster, a new supplementary trial comprising more than 100 patients could be concluded with good results.
Furthermore, an agreement could be signed with the national German "Atrial Fibrillation" network of competence. At the beginning of November 2007, apoplex medical is planning a campaign at a national level with the pharmacies of Germany, the German Apoplexy Aid Organisation (Deutsche Schlaganfallhilfe) and the Association of Office-based Cardiologists (Verband niedergelassener Kardiologen). As regards the international market, management is currently holding licensing negotiations with a major ECG manufacturer.
In June 2007, Geratherm Medical was awarded the "Frost & Sullivan Award 2007". Geratherm was decorated by Frost & Sullivan for its considerable contribution in the area of monitoring vital patient data. We were very happy to receive the Innovation Award 2007 and regard the distinction as a confirmation of the path adopted by us thus far and as an encouragement to continue in our efforts to be among the leading companies within our industry.
Within the framework of new growth opportunities outside the core business, Geratherm Respiratory was founded with an equity capital of EUR 350,000 at the beginning of May 2007. The company is currently in the phase of setting up. Geratherm holds 55 % in the company. The remainder is held by management and financial investors. The focus is currently on preparing the market launch and the development of products, which will lead to an initial turnover in the fourth quarter of 2007. The company is planning for a turnover of EUR 150,000 this year. We do not expect any start-up losses worth mentioning.
On 30 June 2007, the Geratherm Group employed a total of 76 staff members (31 December 2006: 72). 93.4 % of the staff members are employed in Germany.
At the Annual General Meeting in Frankfurt am Main on 11 June 2007, all items on the agenda were discussed and approved of by our shareholders. Geratherm Medical AG paid out to its shareholders a tax-neutral dividend in the amount of 40 cents per share for the business year of 2006 from the deposit account.
There was a planned change in the composition of the Supervisory Board. Dr Klaus Gmür retired from the Supervisory Board for reasons of old age and was replaced by Mr Firus Mettler, who was elected as a new Supervisory Board Member at the Annual General Meeting with no votes against.
For the second half of 2007, we expect a positive course of business. Turnover should develop moderately, with an over-proportionate increase in the operating earning quality.
There are risks through the changed framework conditions, such as exchange rates, raw material prices and the capital market development.
We expect the license for our warming systems to be issued by the US military air force during the second half of 2007. As regards the civilian area, we have already received the license. The Warming Systems have also been listed by the NHS (the National Health System of British hospitals) with the start of the third quarter 2007. These prerequisites should enable us to generate a significant turnover boost in the medium term.

As per 30 June 2007, development cost was activated for self-developed intangible assets in the amount of kEUR 74 (previous year: kEUR 51), relating to the development of the new Stroke Risk Analyser SRA IV for the prevention of strokes as well as initial investments for the new generation of warming systems.
Further additions to the long-term assets in the amount of kEUR 87 (previous year: kEUR 75) mainly relate to substitute investments in production plant as well as other furniture and fixtures.
The short-term assets display greater changes mainly in the items of securities and cash. As per 30 June 2007, the stock of securities increased by kEUR 3,100 (previous year: kEUR 2,773) through purchases. Securities were sold in the amount of kEUR 827 (previous year: kEUR 1,430). Thus, a profit in the amount of kEUR 127 (previous year: profit of kEUR 74; loss of kEUR 35) was realized. The purchasing cost as per 30 June 2007 in the amount of kEUR 6,108 (previous year: kEUR 4,450) is matched by a stock of securities evaluated as by the prices of 30 June 2007 in the amount of kEUR 5,829 (previous year: kEUR 5,080).
This results in non-realized profits and losses in the amount of kEUR -279 (previous year: kEUR 630). These are included in the item of market evaluation provisions in equity capital.
The change in the available cash was altogether kEUR -3,303 (previous year: kEUR -2,652). This is mainly due to the payment of the dividends on 12 June 2007 in the amount of kEUR 1,800 (previous year: kEUR 1,440) and the investment in the form of securities.
The subscribed capital of Geratherm Medical AG amounted to EUR 4,500,000 on 30 June 2007 and is split into 4,500,000 shares in the name of the bearer. The subscribed capital has been paid in full. The company did not own any own shares on 30 June 2007.
The development of the Other Provisions is included in the Group Statement of Changes in Equity.
No audit has been conducted on the half-year financial report by an auditing company.
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group, and the interim management report of the group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group for the remaining months of the financial year.
