United Labels AG: Revenue and earnings up significantly after first six
months

• Group revenue rises by 21% to EUR20.3 million
• EBIT improves to EUR0.4 million
• Considerable order backlog underpins positive outlook for year

Münster, 10/08/10 - United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), a specialist in
comicware sold under licence, achieved revenue growth of 20.7% at Group
level in the first half of 2010, taking the total to EUR20.3 Mio. (prev.
year: EUR16.8 million). Thus, EBIT rose to EUR0.4 million (prev. year:
EUR-1.5 million).

The considerable increase in revenue was attributable primarily to the
Group's non-domestic companies. While revenue rose almost fourfold in
Italy, it edged up by more than half in Spain and by around 38% in Belgium.

As was the case in the first three months of 2010, the company's new
marketing and growth concepts contributed to a record order backlog of
EUR28.2 million. Revenue already generated together with order backlog for
the current financial year are in excess of EUR48 million. This figure is
already approx. 20% higher than annual Group revenue for the entire 2009
financial year.

The new textile and apparel collections have met with strong demand among
retail chains. What is more, this product category offers significant
potential, as a result of which the company anticipates a steady stream of
follow-up orders.

The Group also secured additional highly promising orders in Eastern
Europe, which will contribute to improved revenue and earnings towards the
end of the year in particular.

In total, four new airport stores are scheduled to open during the
remainder of this year. Thus, from autumn onwards United Labels will be
operating with ten shops at five different locations.
