Group revenue rose by 12.4% to EUR 45.3 million (2005: EUR 40.3 million).

The EBIT margin stood at 4.3% (2005: 3.4%). Consolidated net profit almost
doubled year on year, rising to EUR 1.5 million (2005: EUR 0.8 million).
Thus, earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.35 (2005: EUR 0.19).

In view of this performance, the Management Board will be proposing a
dividend payment of EUR 0.20 per share.

Cash and bank deposits rose to EUR 4.5 million in 2006 (2005: EUR 3.5
million). At the reporting date, the Group equity ratio stood at 65.7%
(2005: 68.6%).

In achieving these results, United Labels AG exceeded its targets for FY
2006 by a significant margin. The company is committed to driving growth in
all of its business segments over the course of the current financial year.
