According to preliminary calculations, YOC AG (ISIN DE0005932735) has
generated revenue for the Group pursuant to IFRS in the amount of EUR 34.6
million in the 2012 financial year compared to EUR 32.1 million the
previous year, with consolidated sales and operating revenue of EUR 36.6
million compared to EUR 33.8 million the previous year. EBITDA amounted to
EUR -3.2 million (previous year: EUR -3.0 million). Amortisations in the
amount of EUR 7.2 million compared to EUR 6.4 million the previous year led
to an operating result totalling EUR -10.4 million (2011: EUR -9.4
million). These include both amortisations in the amount of EUR 1.5 million
and write-downs in the amount of EUR 5.7 million, which resulted from
impairments of goodwill as well as software developed by the Group,
trademarks and client relationships.

The Management Board also announces the loss of over half of the share
capital. As per Section 92 paragraph 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act
(AktG), this legally requires the company to hold a general meeting of
shareholders as soon as possible. YOC AG plans to convene the 2013 annual
general meeting of shareholders shortly and will include this notice of the
loss of share capital in its agenda for the meeting. Another item on the
agenda will be creating new authorised capital.

YOC AG has experienced a good start to the 2013 financial year, given this
difficult initial situation. The Management Board expects an increase in
revenues by at least 25% and a sustainable improvement in earnings. The
restructuring process initiated by CEO Dirk Freytag has already yielded
initial positive results and will continue to be actively pursued. In this
respect, YOC AG is also evaluating short-term financing options.
Furthermore, the divestment of Sevenval in the Mobile Technology segment
also continues to be pursued.

The 2012 annual report including the finalised figures for the 4th quarter
of 2012 as well as the entire 2012 financial year will be published on 30
April 2013. YOC AG invites you to attend the annual financial press
conference on that date in Berlin.
