2 Interim Management Report
DocCheck Division
With over 500,000 users and 1,700 co-operation partners from the whole of the healthcare sector, DocCheck is now the largest and fastest growing community for medical specialist groups in Europe. 18 out of 20 of the largest pharmaceutical companies already use DocCheck services.
DocCheck is constantly developing these services further throughout the community to enable transactions between the user and the industry. Online Market Research, Online Media, Online Direct Marketing and Paid Content are currently the most important business models.
Sales and Income Report - DocCheck Division
In the third quarter the division was already benefi ting from the increased investments in research and service development which have been in place since the start of the year. The Division increased sales to 2.4 million refl ecting a rise of 49 per cent. In the third quarter development work focused on the internationalisation of services. With the launch of the Italian "DocCheck Faces" social network, the expansion of the French-speaking market research, brand new newsletters for France and Italy and the French online direct marketing, DocCheck is extending its role as market leader in Europe. As a result of investing in the internationalisation of local services in the past quarter, the Division achieved a result of -229,000 euro.
DocCheck Shop Division
DocCheck Shop represents the trading business under the DocCheck brand. It sells medical supplies to general practitioners via the mail-order business, the Internet shop under www.doccheckshop.de and via the sales force.
With the sales force DocCheck provides individual and on-the-spot medical advice to doctors on a one-to-one basis when selling technical medical equipment which needs to be explained and has for this purpose three sales locations in Stuttgart, Leipzig and Essen with a total of 65,000 customers. The plan is to acquire additional sales locations.
Sales and Income Report - DocCheck Shop
DocCheck Shop recorded an increase in sales of 24 per cent in the third quarter and achieved sales totalling 3.7 million euro. The Division's result continued to be negative in the third quarter (-180,000 euro) due to the integration costs of the new location in Essen.
antwerpes Division
antwerpes represents the agency business of the DocCheck Group. The agency develops integrated communications solutions for the healthcare sector. Marketing know-how in the healthcare market and competence in integrated communication enable antwerpes to implement multi-channel strategies for customers. This integral approach, which antwerpes has already implemented successfully for years, is currently described by the trade journal "w&v"1 as one of the business models for the future.
Sales and Income Report - antwerpes
As expected and already forecast in the previous quarter, the agency business has recovered but cannot yet catch up with the result for the previous year's quarter. So in the third quarter, sales in the agency business dropped by seven per cent to 4.5 million euro. The Division's result at the end of the quarter was positive and totalled 437,000 euro.
3 Opportunities and Risks Report
Opportunities and risks of the DocCheck portal business
DocCheck has established itself as a strong brand name in the healthcare market. In order to maintain this market position and to continue to expand in Europe, local services need to be developed continuously in order to tap new sources of revenue and to exploit growth opportunities. For this reason DocCheck continues to set the pace of investment and development in this division. There are certain risks associated with this such as short-term pressure on the Profi t and Loss. However the company considers that the opportunities offered by such a rate of innovation and investment substantially outweigh the risks.
Opportunities and risks for DocCheck Shop trading division
DocCheck's assessment of the growth potential of the medical technology market in the fi rst quarter remains unchanged.
The sale of medical technology in Germany, which is very fragmented and regionally orientated, offers additional growth potential, as described in the fi rst quarter report. The Shop exploits this potential by expanding its sales network. In this respect it relies on the acquisition of regional owner-managed medical dealers. DocCheck plays a leading role by concentrating on any structural changes within the German medical trade market and implementing them at an early stage. In this way, additional sales locations will be acquired more easily and their market position will be strengthened throughout Germany. The integration costs for such acquisitions represent one of the risks associated with this policy of market position strengthening.
The e-commerce Division has recorded sales fi gures which are increasing at a rapid pace. The Business-to-Business Division in Germany in 2006 recorded sales totalling 392 billion euro. Sales of up to 636 billion euro2 are expected for 2010. Great growth potential often leads in the long-term to a strengthening of competitive pressure. In order to counter this, a clear marketing strategy and product mix policy is essential. In this respect the DocCheck Online Shop considers itself to be extremely well placed. The Internet presence of the Shop has been completely revised and the range of products offered is quite clearly focusing on medical supplies for doctors.
Opportunities and risks for antwerpes agency business
The major risks for the agency business lie within the pharmaceutical market itself and its strict policy regulations. Due to the major health care reforms, the pharmaceutical market has suffered a slight decline up until mid 2007. During the remainder of the year however this trend is reversing and on the basis of the current one-year comparison from August 2006 to August 2007 the market is increasing once more at a current rate of 11 per cent3 .

This change was also subsequently refl ected in the increase in the marketing budgets and as a result there was an increased demand for agency services.
4 Important events
External
Amendment to the legal regulatory framework
The Board of Directors and Supervisory Board decided at their regular Supervisory Board meeting to apply to the German Stock Exchange for the purposes of moving DocCheck AG over from Prime Standard to General Standard. The Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board consider that a reporting procedure which is adjusted to the size of the company and is geared towards the German fi nancial market, with detailed half-yearly reporting and interim announcements per quarter, is totally adequate.
Internal
Changes in the research and development activities/introducing new products/developing new markets
In the DocCheck Division marketing and personnel investments have increased in order to internationalise further the DocCheck Community (see also statements on the DocCheck Division) and to develop new applications along the lines of Paid Content.
5 Additional Explanatory Notes
Orders on hand
As at 30 September 2007 orders on hand total 2.3 million euro.
Share buy-backs
At the Annual General Meeting on 28 June 2007, the company was empowered to continue buying back its own shares. The Board of Directors of DocCheck AG is ending the current share buy-back programme based on the former resolution passed by the Annual General Meeting and is continuing the share buy-backs with immediate effect on the basis of the current resolution. Empowerment became effective when the Annual General Meeting passed the resolution and is valid until 27 December 2008. All in all, the company is empowered to buy back up to 590,431 of its own share certifi cates.
The proportion of own shares is 3.94 per cent as at 30 September 2007. This equates to 232,522 shares out of a total of 5,904,312 issued shares. The company publishes the share buy-backs every week on its website.
Report on forecasts and other statements on expected developments
Back in the fi rst quarter DocCheck AG forecast a weak second quarter for the agency business. This occurred as expected. For the remaining months of the year the company agrees with the forecasts of the GWA4 Industrial Federation which anticipates growth potential for the communications sector, particularly in the internet business, energy, pharmaceutical and fi nancial services sectors. This forecast can be upheld as the outlook for the fourth quarter is positive given the marked increase in incoming orders in the agency business. At the same time the portal and trading business is developing according to plan. On the basis of these business prospects the Board of Directors is expecting a positive operating result once more for the fourth quarter.

Explanatory notes on the balance sheet
The quarterly fi nancial statement as at 30 September 2007 has been prepared on the basis of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") of the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), London, which were in force on the cut-off date, as well as on the basis of the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") of the IASB, London.
The accounting and evaluation methods from the annual fi nancial statements as at 31 December 2006 were used unchanged.
- 1. The securities which matured in the 3rd quarter of 2007, which were reported as current-asset securities in previous quarters, are now reported as being liquid assets. The drop in liquid assets in the fi rst nine months of 2007 is mainly due to the dividend payment on 29 June 2007 and to the investments in additional offi ce space.
- 2. As at 30 September 2007 the current-asset securities portfolio consists of one borrower's note loan. According to IAS 39, securities falling within the category "available for sale" are to be valued at fair value (market price). Changes in the fair value are fi rst of all recorded in the capital and reserves in a special revaluation reserve with no effect on the operating result until that point in time when the securities are taken out of the accounts.
- 3. With the exception of DocCheck TV GmbH, DocCheck Medizinbedarf und Logistik GmbH, Eilenburg and Medilab GmbH, Essen whose shares were offset in accordance with the acquisition method pursuant to IFRS 3, the shares in the fully consolidated subsidiaries were offset, pro rata to their holding in accordance with the book value method, against the capital of the companies at the time of the initial consolidation. This resulted in the following goodwill:
| Company | Goodwill from the initial consolidation |

| Total | 1,311,772 | 795,460 | 697,617 |
4. On 13 March 2007 DocCheck Medizinbedarf und Logistik GmbH, Weil im Schönbuch, a subsidiary of DocCheck AG, acquired 100 per cent of the shares in Medilab GmbH, Essen, with fi nancial effect from 01 April 2007. The purchase price for the acquisition of the shares was paid in cash. In the 2nd quarter of 2007 the company was included in the consolidation for the fi rst time.
- 5. Other assets are largely made up of deferred interest and taxes.
- 6. In other provisions, transfers essentially took place within provisions for holidays, bonuses and shares in profi ts. In addition, provisions were made for end-of-year accounting and audit costs. As they stand now, these provisions ensure that there is a realistic deferment of expenditure for the current fi nancial year.
- 7. Other liabilities are mainly made up of tax liabilities (sales tax, income tax and church tax), contributions relating to salaries and wages and doctors' fees which are still to be paid.
- 8. The valuation items in capital and reserves relate to own shares held by DocCheck AG. In the fi rst nine months a further 87,924 own share certifi cates were acquired. The holdings of own shares as at 30 September 2007 consist of 232,522 individual share certifi cates and account for a total of 232,522 euro of the capital
stock. As at 30 September 2007 the market price was 904,510.58 euro. In accordance with IAS 32.33, own shares are shown in the balance sheet at acquisition cost and as a deduction from capital and reserves. When selling own shares, the profi t or loss is not to be shown in the profi t and loss account but as a change to the capital and reserves.
9. The special revaluation reserve amounting to -20,000 euro contains the fair value changes from the current-asset securities netted out by the deferred taxes apportionable to them.

8 Statement of sources and application of funds
- 1. The change in cash fl ow from investment activities when compared to the same period in the previous year is mainly due to investments made in factory and offi ce equipment as well as in hardware during the fi rst nine months of 2007. The conversion of another offi ce fl oor, with purchasing costs totalling about 400.000 euro, accounts for the majority of investments in factory and offi ce equipment.
- 2. The change in cash fl ow from fi nancing activities when compared to the same period in the previous year is mainly due to the acquisition of own shares in the fi rst nine months of 2007 and to the higher dividend for 2006.
- 3. Funds to hand as at 30/09/2007 contain borrowed money totalling 29.000 euro (previous year: 28.000 euro). These are outstanding doctors' fees which DocCheck AG cannot dispose of in any other way.

9 Divisional Reporting as at 30/09/2007
For the fi rst quarter's fi nancial statements in 2007 the Divisions were broken down further by DocCheck AG. The DocCheck, Commerce und Logistik Division is divided up into the DocCheck and DocCheck Shop Divisions.
The sales of DocCheck Medical Services GmbH, DocCheck TV GmbH, medizinstudent.de GmbH and medicalpicture GmbH are combined in the DocCheck Division. These participating interests of DocCheck AG represent the Group's portal business.
DocCheck Medizinbedarf und Logistik GmbH in Stuttgart and its subsidiaries in Leipzig and Essen constitute the DocCheck Shop Division. This Division represents the trading business.
The antwerpes Division consists of antwerpes ag with its locations in Cologne and Basle and contains the sales from the agency business.
The segment, Holding, incorporates the whole of the administrative and service Division of DocCheck AG. Since the activities of these companies are currently located in the same area, a geographical segmentation was waived. Supplies and services within the combined group were valued at purchase price plus a mark-up and cost sharing within the Group was valued at purchase price plus interest. Total assets include the fi xed assets, the current assets and the prepaid expenses and deferred charges.

12 Stock Options
In accordance with the resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting on 16 May 2001, the company grants, by means of an options contract, subscription rights to certain employees regarding the acquisition of DocCheck AG shares. According to the grade and position of the employee, the company offers contracts to certain employees which cover the granting of share options (options contract). As at 30 September 2007, 2,000 (in the previous year: 30,500) stock options had been issued. The decrease in portfolio holdings results from the maturity of share options (27,000) and the exercising of options (1,500).
Exercising a subscription right depends on whether at the time the following performance goals were met:
- The market price of the DocCheck AG share has performed better than the Nemax All Share Index (now Technology All Share Index)
- The current market price of the share must be higher than the comparative market price and the comparative market price of the share is, for subscription rights granted up to fi ve days before the initial public offering, the initial public offering price as determined in the book-building process for the DocCheck AG share for the purposes of the initial public offering for one or two subscription rights granted during an acquisition period, the average of the Xetra closing prices for the 20 trading days before the fi rst day of the respective acquisition period.
-
The employee has an employment contract with a DocCheck AG company and notice to terminate this has not been served, nor has it been terminated in some other way.
-
Exercising the options granted is only permissible during the following periods:
- – On the respective fourth and the 19 subsequent bank working days following a DocCheck AG Ordinary Annual General Meeting.
- – On the respective fourth and the 19 subsequent bank working days following the publication of the DocCheck AG quarterly report covering the 3rd quarter of a fi nancial year.
