The business development during the 2nd quarter of 2006 resulted in a turnover plus of 3.2% and thus met our expectations, to a great degree. All in all, the turnover during the first six months of the business year amounted to EUR 4.2 million (+4.3%). The crude result from this turnover increased during the first half of 2006 by 3.0% respectively to reach EUR 2.3 million. The growth in turnover came especially from the new markets of Brazil and the Middle East. The business in Germany was somewhat weaker with a minus of 12.2%. The sales throughout Europe, recording a minus of 2.3%, were slightly below the previous year's level. The drop in turnover in the US market during the 1st quarter of 2006 could be evened out by a stronger 2nd quarter – as planned – and was in line with the previous year's level as per 30 June 2006.
The operating result of the 1st half of 2006 amounted to 24.9% less than last year's level, due to the start-up losses of our subsidiary apoplex medical technologies GmbH and exchange rate differences relating to a weaker dollar on the accounting date. During the 2nd quarter of 2006, an operating result of only kEUR 23 could be achieved. Losses from exchange rate differences in the amount of kEUR 63 (previous year: earnings from exchange rate differences kEUR 55) had a negative impact on the balance. These resulted mainly from the evaluation of short-term assets, such as receivables and cash in US dollars, at the accounting date exchange rate of EUR/USD 1.27 (previous year.: EUR/USD 1.21). By increase in inventories of kEUR 81, the operating result was burdened with kEUR 30 in the 2nd quarter. The apoplex GmbH company recorded a loss of kEUR 46 during the 2nd quarter.
A positive financial result could be achieved for the first half of 2006 in the amount of kEUR 138 (previous year: kEUR 194). Due to the positive development of the securities holdings, there were Market Evaluation Provisions of kEUR 630 relating to non-realised financial returns, which are not included in the profit and loss accounts but rather in the equity capital. The result of ordinary business activities was reduced by altogether 26.5% to reach kEUR 366 (previous year: kEUR 497). The Group Period Result (EAT) was reduced by 27.5% to reach kEUR 358 (previous year: kEUR 494). The result per share was reduced to 8 cents (previous year: 11 cents).
The equity capital of the company of EUR 16.5 million amounts to 92.2% of the balance sheet total or EUR 3.66 per share. The return on equity amounts to 4.3 % (previous year: 6.1%). As per 30 June 2006, cash and securities were included in the amount of EUR 8.4 million (previous year: EUR 8.0 million). The cash in the amount of EUR 3.3 million is invested with banks at the interest rates usual in the market.
Once again, the analogue diagnostics products on the basis of gallium proved the mainstays of turnover with 43.7% (previous year: 48.4%). The absolute turnover share was slightly reduced by kEUR 116 to reach kEUR 1,840 in the first half of 2006. The area of Digital Diagnostics was able to latch on to the previous growth and recorded a turnover plus of 11.8% during the first half of the year.
Turnover by segments 01.01.-30.06.2006

The turnover share of the Other Products area increased over proportionately during the first half of the year and recorded a plus of 19.6%. This growth was achieved, above all, through the positive turnover development in the area of Warming Systems. For the second half of 2006, we anticipate a further distinct increase of this area, especially, as we are expecting the award of a large order of 120 systems for Indian military hospitals in the 3rd quarter.
The subsidiary apoplex medical technologies GmbH was not able to contribute any turnover worth mentioning in the first half of 2006. Staff of sales partners is being trained at the moment, so that we will gain an overview of the market acceptance of the products over the next few months.

A share of 81% of the EUR 4.2 million turnover achieved during the first half of 2006 came from exports. The weaker domestic demand could be more than compensated through stronger foreign business, just as in the first quarter of 2006. The distribution of the turnover across the individual regions remained more or less unchanged. The strongest growth in turnover was achieved by the Region of the Middle East with a plus of 40% and Brazil with a plus of 204%. All in all, these countries achieved a turnover of kEUR 620.

All, items of the agenda were discussed and approved of by our shareholders at the ordinary shareholders' meeting in Frankfurt am Main on 12 June 2006.
Geratherm Medical AG has paid out to its shareholders a tax-free dividend in the amount of 32 cents per share for the business year of 2005 from the deposit account.
We anticipate a positive development for the second half of 2006, although we expect a weaker turnover for the 3rd quarter of 2006. The financial returns should reach a distinctly higher level through the realisation of the book profits. The approvals in the area of warming systems for the US military are running according to plan.

The Interim Group Financial Statement for the first half of 2006 was prepared according to the rules of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid on the accounting date and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as they are compulsory in the European Union.
All balancing, evaluating and consolidation principles were maintained, as detailed in the Annex of the Group Financial Statement 2005.
There were no changes in the group of consolidated companies during the first half of 2006.
As per 30 June 2006, development cost for the self-developed intangible assets in the amount of kEUR 51 (previous year: kEUR 84) were capitalised. They relate to the development of the Stroke Risk Analyser SRA IV for the prevention of strokes.
There were further additions to the long-term assets in the amount of kEUR 75 (previous year: kEUR 23), which relate mainly to replacement investments in production plant as well as other furniture and fixtures.
The short-term assets display greater changes mainly in the item of Securities and Cash. As per 30 June 2006, the securities holdings were increased through purchase by kEUR 2,773 (previous year: kEUR 1,039). There were disposals through sale in the amount of kEUR 1,430 (previous year: kEUR 1,251). Thus, a profit was realized in the amount of kEUR 74 (previous year: kEUR 92) and a loss was incurred in the amount of kEUR 35 (previous year: kEUR 0). The purchasing cost as per 30 June 2006 in the amount of kEUR 4,450 (previous year: kEUR 3,120) is matched by a stock evaluated on the basis of the prices of 30 June 2006 in the amount of kEUR 5,080 (previous year: kEUR 3,443). This results in profits not realised in the amount of kEUR 630 (previous year: kEUR 323). These are included in the item of Market Evaluation Provisions of the equity capital. The available cash was reduced by altogether kEUR 2,652 (previous year: kEUR 1,792). This is due mainly to the payment of the dividends on 13 June 2006 in the amount of kEUR 1,440 (previous year: kEUR 1,260) and the investment in the form of securities.
The subscribed capital of Geratherm Medical AG amounted to EUR 4,500,000 on 30 June 2006 and is split into 4,500,000 shares in the name of the bearer. The subscribed capital has been fully paid in. The company did not own any own shares on 30 June 2006.
The item of Market Evaluation Provisions, included for the first time in the business year of 2005, increased in the first half of 2006 by kEUR 479 (previous year: kEUR 226) to reach kEUR 630 (previous year: kEUR 323). Due to the stipulation by 31 December 2005 to conduct the adjustments of the previous year's figures, necessary due to the amendment of IAS 39, applying IAS 39.107, starting on 1 January 2004, we have adjusted the reference period of the first half of 2005. The adjustment relates to the restructuring in the amount of kEUR 21 from the item of Market Evaluation Provisions to Cumulated Profits.
