BRAIN FORCE HOLDING AG (Vienna Stock Exchange: BFC, Reuters: BFCG), a
leading IT service company with business operations in Austria, Germany,
Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia and the USA
reports that it has generated a 10% revenue increase in the first nine
months of the 2011/12 financial year (October 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012).
Thus the company has increased revenues for the sixth consecutive quarter.

In the first three quarters of 2011/12, Group revenues climbed by EUR 5.04
million to EUR 57.29 million, with all regions generating revenue growth.
Operating EBITDA amounted to EUR 1.71 million compared to the prior-year
figure of EUR 1.95 million, and operating EBIT totaled EUR0.21 million
following a negative first-quarter performance, down from EUR 0.35 million
in the previous year. 'After the negative earnings posted in the first
three months, we were able to achieve positive operating results in the
second and third quarters which surpassed our overall performance in these
two quarterly periods of the previous year', says Michael Hofer, Chief
Executive Officer of BRAIN FORCE HOLDING AG. 'In spite of the increased
order volume, a volatile business environment in some regions and reduced
license sales compared to the previous year continues to hinder a more
positive earnings development', CEO Michael Hofer explains.

In addition, first-quarter restructuring expenses have a negative impact on
earnings in the current financial year. Group EBITDA was EUR 1.03 million,
including these restructuring costs of EUR 0.68 million in Germany, whereas
Group EBIT amounted to EUR -0.46 million.

In Germany revenues rose 3% in the first three quarters of the 2011/12
financial year to EUR 28.97 million. Both operating EBITA at EUR 1.25
million (previous year: EUR 1.34 million) and operating EBIT at EUR 0.75
million decreased slightly year-on-year. Italy showed a clearly positive
development, posting revenue growth of 9% to EUR 17.33 million. Operating
EBITDA in Italy was up 22% to EUR 1.31 million, and operating EBIT
increased by 48% to EUR 0.80 million. In the Netherlands revenues climbed
43% to EUR 8.41 million. However, operating EBITDA was down to EUR 0.27
million due to the below-average employee capacity utilization rate, and
operating EBIT in the first nine months of 2011/12 turned negative,
declining to EUR -0.11 million from EUR 0.25 million in the prior-year
period. In Central and Eastern Europe revenues were up 5% to EUR 2.58
million. Operating EBITDA and operating EBIT at EUR 0.15 million and EUR
0.08 million respectively were both slightly higher than in the previous
year. EBITDA of the Holding and Other segment was EUR - 1.27 million,
reflecting higher expenditures of EUR 0.03 million, and the EBIT of EUR
-1.31 million was also about 2% above the comparable prior-year level.

The financial result amounted to EUR -0.55 million in the first nine
months, at the same level as in the previous year. The earnings
contribution of the associated company SolveDirect Service Management GmbH
(in which BRAIN FORCE currently owns a 57.57% stake) amounted to EUR -1.09
million compared to the prior-year figure of EUR - 1.34 million. On
balance, the profit before tax of the BRAIN FORCE Group amounted to EUR
-2.10 million (previous year: EUR -1.54 million), and the profit after tax
totaled EUR -2.45 million (previous year: EUR -1.83 million).

The objectives for the current 2011/12 financial year are to generate
revenue growth and positive operating results. 'We expect an overall
increase improvement for 2011/12 as a whole on the basis of the growth
rates achieved up until now as well as the 7% increase in the order volume.
We also anticipate enhanced profitability in the future and thus an
improvement in operating results thanks to measures being implemented to
strengthen sales, the expansion of our Network Performance Channel
activities and a rise in proceeds from license sales', CEO Michael Hofer
concludes.

The report on the first three quarters of 2011/12 is available immediately
on the company Website at www.brainforce.com.
