after two very difficult financial years, we have made a promising start to 2010. Our extensive programmes of measures implemented over the two previous years are paying off. In particular, our core High-Tech Hose Systems business unit has shown significantly positive development compared with the previous year. Economic recovery in this unit has been noticeable on an ongoing basis since back in September

  1. Hose sales increased on a significant double-digit basis by 13.1% compared with the previous year. Following the end of the period under review, this development continued in April, meaning that we are optimistic that our core business will show positive development on a sustained basis in 2010, especially as we have further strengthened our marketing and sales activities.

The Mobility segment made a cautious start, as demand for electric bicycles has not yet picked up due to the harsh winter. For this reason, consolidated revenue remained at the same level as the previous year in the first quarter of 2010, totalling € 14.8 million. In the Surface Technology segment, which was hit hard by the economic crisis, the negative trend ongoing since 2008 has now been halted. This will also be increasingly reflected in results as the year goes on.

The results in this interim report are presented on the basis of continuing operations. We successfully returned to profitability in the first quarter of 2010. Operating consolidated EBIT increased from € 0.2 million in the same quarter of the previous year to € 0.8 million. EBIT including extraordinary expenses also improved to € 0.4 million, after still having been negative in the previous year at € -0.2 million.

Our core business unit provided evidence of our sustained profitability, with operating cash flow of € 0.7 million.

Our unsatisfactory equity ratio of 1.3% and the current extension of loans until summer mean that financial restructuring is still our utmost priority. Based on talks held with our external financing partners, we are confident that we will have drawn up a sustainable concept by 30 June 2010.

We are once again faced with huge challenges in 2010. However, based on the operating results we have already achieved and those which are forecast, we feel optimistic that we have taken the one right path towards restoring Masterflex AG to a healthy, high-growth company.

May 2010

Dr. Andreas Bastin Chief Executive Officer

Interim Management Report

Group structure and business activities

Masterflex AG, Gelsenkirchen, is a specialist in the development and production of high-quality connector and hose systems from high-tech polymers in its profitable core High-Tech Hose Systems business unit.

Equity investments are also held which do not belong to the core business. These are the Surface Technology/Advanced Material Design (high-quality galvanic and mechanical surface finishing) and Mobility (climate-neutral mobility solutions) business units.

Market and competition

Core business unit High-Tech-Hose Systems

The upturn in our core High-Tech Hose Systems business unit has been particularly noticeable since September 2009. Incoming orders were into significant double-digit figures in the first quarter of 2010 in comparison with the previous year. Based on this positive development, we put an end to reduced working hours in February. Overall, segment revenue increased by 13.1% to € 11.2 million (previous year: € 9.9 million). This recovery was quite clearly reflected in segment EBIT before reconciliation, increasing by 41.0% to € 1.8 million.

This improved sentiment was also apparent at the trade fairs in which Masterflex AG took part, such as the WIN industrial trade fair in Istanbul and, after the period under review, at the Hanover trade fair and POWTECH trade fair in April 2010. A wide range of new products were presented at these trade

fairs, including hoses made of renewable raw materials. These completely new types of extruded profile hoses combine various features which up to now have only been provided on an individual basis by different products, such as good chemical resistance, excellent abrasion resistance and good flexibility at low temperatures. The new "A" hose series was also presented, which complies with TRBS directive 2153 "Prevention of fire hazards resulting from electrostatic charge". These hoses can be used for the conveyance of combustible powders and bulk materials in order to divert electrostatic charge.

We also pressed ahead with our internationalisation in the first quarter of 2010 and prepared for the opening of an overseas sales office planned for the near future.

In the area of medical components, we are working towards expanding the range of catheters available. Projects include the production of anti-bacterial catheters with a new active principle, hoses for selfcatheterisation and radiopaque hoses.

Mobility

Our Mobility business unit showed restrained development in the first quarter of 2010. This is due to the harsh and enduring winter, which curbed demand for electric bicycles. Segment revenue decreased by 38.9% to € 0.9 million (previous year: € 1.5 million). Segment EBIT fell accordingly by 69.1% to € -0.2 million (previous year: € -0.1 million). Added to this is the fact that segment EBIT is not yet stable or sustainably positive as a result of the continued impact of the necessary expenses for market entry and the ongoing technical upgrading of products.

The negative consequences of climate change mean that we are still expecting a high level of interest in environmentally friendly alternatives. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2010, we prepared for the participation of Mobility GmbH in the new flagship trade fair "MobiliTec"

at the Hanover trade fair, which placed a greater focus on technologies for mobility of the future in April 2010. Together with over 20 companies, Mobility GmbH presented items such as innovative systems and components for electromobility on the NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) collective stand.

The central focus here was innovative drive systems and vehicles with a fuel cell such as the Cargobike, which is able to generate additional electricity, which can be used for applications such as vehicle lighting, as well as drive energy.

The use of our Cargobikes with fuel cell drive systems in the European HyChain project will continue in 2010. We are planning to supply a further 10 vehicles by the end of the year. Furthermore, 10 Cargobikes are already in use at Deutsche Telekom AG as part of the T-City project. A further 10 vehicles will be

delivered over the course of the year.

Potential in this business unit remains highly promising. In order to further accelerate this positive development, we are examining options such as selling the business or collaborating with a partner. The state of the art achieved to date and the application potential of our fuel cell technology constitutes a strong starting position for future business success.

Advanced Material Design

The Advanced Material Design business unit comprises the operations of the SURPRO Group, which specialises in surface technology. SURPRO is a highly specialised niche provider for the production and finishing of precision surfaces.

Our subsidiary SURPRO was particularly hard hit by the economic and financial crisis. We have since been able to halt this negative trend thanks to the measures we have introduced. However, this will only be reflected in results as the year goes on. In the first quarter of 2010, segment revenue was down 21.7% on the previous year's figure of € 3.4 million at € 2.6 million. As a result, segment EBIT was negative at € -0.4 million (previous year: € -0.5 million). The incoming order situation, which is showing considerable improvement compared with the previous year, is an important factor and the key driver behind our positive future prospects.

This difficult situation in the SURPRO Group will persist in the 2010 financial year, yet the positive signals give cause for hope. We are expecting a significant year-on-year improvement in segment EBIT as a result of our programme of measures which have since been successfully implemented.

Results of operations, net assets and financial position

Results of operations

The improved income situation is clearly reflected in the consolidated income statement as at 31 March 2010. While the development of revenue was still characterised by the cautious start made by Mobility GmbH, consolidated EBITDA improved considerably by almost 50% to € 1.5 million.

We are also pleased that consolidated EBIT was also positive again for the first time in a year. Key drivers behind this were the positive increase in revenue in the high-margin core High-Tech Hose Systems business unit and the successful measures taken to optimise costs.

Net assets

Masterflex AG's asset position improved slightly by 2.3% as at 31 March 2010 compared with 31 December 2009. Total assets barely changed and totalled € 70.9 million (31 December 2009: € 69.3 million).

Financial assets increased marginally by € 132 thousand to € 4.1 million.

Current assets increased by 4.9% to € 28.9 million. The success of the measures aimed at improving liquidity is apparent in the further reduction of inventories, which decreased by € 0.8 million as against 31 December 2009. By way of contrast, receivables and other current assets increased by 33.4% to € 8.6 million.

Cash in hand totalled € 7.9 million as at 31 March 2010, thus barely changing in comparison with 31 December 2009.

The equity ratio stood at 1.3%, falling slightly once again as against the ratio of 31 December 2009.

Non-current financial liabilities declined by -2.2% to € 19.0 million, while current liabilities increased by 2.4% to € 35.8 million as a result of the utilisation of overdraft facilities.

Taking into account the cash and cash equivalents at the balance sheet date, net debt (financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents) totalled € 46.9 million, thus increasing slightly by 0.6% compared with 31 December 2009.

Financial operations

The principles and aims of financial management are explained in detail in the 2009 Annual Report. There were no changes as at 31 March 2010.

In the first quarter of 2010, financial liabilities (including finance lease liabilities) also barely changed in comparison with 31 December 2009. These increased slightly from € 54.4 million to € 54.9 million.

Masterflex AG is carrying out intensive work with its external financing partners in order to secure Group financing in the long term. Based on the talks held to date, we are expecting to have found an optimal solution and structure by 30 June 2010 that will ensure the continued existence of the Company.

Liquidity position

The Group generated a positive cash flow from operating activities of € 0.7 million as of 31 March 2010, the majority of which was attributable to the core High-Tech Hose Systems business unit.

Cash in hand did not change in comparison with 31 December 2009.

Employees

The Group had a total of 531 employees at 31 March 2010, down 27.9% on the same period of the previous year. This was primarily due to the sale of two subsidiaries and workforce adjustments in the course of our cost-cutting and restructuring measures taken during this past period.

Based on the positive development in our core business, we put an end to reduced working hours at the affected sites in February 2010.

Research & development, investments

There were no significant changes in the period under review compared with the disclosures in the 2009 Annual Report.

Report on post-balance sheet date events

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

No significant events affecting the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group were posted after the balance sheet date.

Opportunities and risk report

A detailed presentation of risk management and of potential risks can be found in the 2008 Annual Report. The disclosures made there generally still apply.

Opportunities

Opportunities for the successful continuation of business activities and a detailed risk report are outlined in the 2009 Annual Report. The general information contained therein remains essentially unchanged.

Outlook

Masterflex AG made a successful start to the 2010 financial year. This shows that the measures we have taken to improve business development on a sustainable basis are effective.

Based on the economic recovery of our core business, we feel optimistic that our development will improve further as the overall economy continues to stabilise, particularly since we are focusing all our market development efforts on the accelerated expansion of our profitable High-Tech Hose Systems core business. We expect that we will experience considerably stronger growth than the market average thanks to the measures we have introduced and our technological expertise in our core High-Tech Hose Systems business unit.

As described above, we are also expecting positive or improved development compared with the past in the Mobility and Advanced Material Design business units. Our restructuring programme is gradually making an impact in our Surface Technology unit, losses have been reined in and incoming orders have increased significantly. We believe we are generally on track in the Mobility business unit, not least because the issue of environmentally friendly mobility is becoming increasingly important. As neither of these two business units offers synergies with the core business unit, we are also continuing to examine the possibility of selling them.

Our forecast for the 2010 financial year carries a degree of uncertainty as to how sustainable general economic recovery will be.

We are currently expecting an increase in consolidated revenue of between 5% and 10% in 2010. Consolidated EBIT in 2010 will once again be impacted with further extraordinary charges – primarily legal and consulting costs arising from further potential sales as well as capital measures. For reasons of precaution, we have once again provided for losses from non-core business activities. Nevertheless, we are expecting a considerable improvement in operating EBIT and a significant positive consolidated EBIT (including extraordinary expenses).

Dear shareholders, Masterflex AG is still faced with huge challenges. However, the success we have achieved to date shows that we have successfully laid the groundwork for the desired future development in order to restore Masterflex AG to a healthy, high-growth company.

The Masterflex Share

Share development January to April 2010

The first quarter of 2010 was dominated by the fact that a new alltime low of less than € 3.00 was reached in February. The price then recovered considerably, reaching a new 6-month high on 15 March and 16 March 2010 of € 4.38 and € 4.20 respectively. This is equivalent to a price gain of 54.2% and 49.5% respectively in relation to the all-time low. As such, the Masterflex share clearly outperformed the DAX and, at times, the SDAX. Following the publication of the 2009 consolidated financial statements on 29 April 2010, the share price fell again on the last day of April, despite the positive outlook for the 2010 financial year.

Against this backdrop, the principal task of our investor relations measures is to promote confidence in the strategic realignment and retrenchment around the profitable High-Tech Hose Systems core business through transparent communications, pointing out the growth and earnings potential offered by these. Opportunities lie in our materials expertise, our innovative ability and the further internationalisaFurthermore, it is essential that we outline on a transparent basis the measures necessary to restore Masterflex AG to a well capitalised enterprise.

The Annual General Meeting will be on 17 August 2010.
