Financial Figures/Balance Sheet

Subtitle: The volume of transactions generated by the Europace
platform hit a new record in the second quarter of 2010, with all
product categories contributing to this result. The customised
products developed among others for Postbank also demonstrate that
Europace’s technology can be used for a wide variety of applications
and continues to achieve widespread market penetration.

Berlin, 16 July 2010 (euro adhoc) - The volume of transactions
generated by the Europace financial marketplace hit a new record of
EUR3.951 billion in the second quarter of 2010. All product
categories contributed to an increase of 25.1 per cent compared with
the corresponding quarter of 2009. The volume of mortgage finance,
which still accounts for the largest proportion of total business,
grew by 17.1 per cent year on year to EUR3.296 billion in Q2 2010.
"The current combination of low interest rates, the greater
importance attached to security, and the recently more optimistic
outlook is boosting purchases of real estate", was how Thilo Wiegand,
one of Hypoport AG´s executive directors, explained the encouraging
trend. The second quarter of 2010 was the first time that building
finance - the most recent addition to Europace´s product portfolio -
has managed to outperform the volume of business generated by
personal loans, achieving a total volume of EUR336 million (Q2 2009:
EUR38 million) compared with the EUR319 million generated by personal
loans (Q2 2009: EUR306 million).

Hypoport is also bullish about the outlook for its business going
forward. "On top of the welcome recovery of the intermediary market
in Germany we are achieving growing success with our product
offerings for German savings banks (Finmas - the financial
marketplace for savings banks) and local cooperative banks
(Genopace)", added Wiegand. Hypoport is also pursuing new avenues in
its quest to acquire established market participants as clients. The
first customised web-based distribution solution for Europace will
soon be completed. "Over the past 14 months we have been working
exclusively with and on behalf of Postbank´s financial advisory team
to develop a financing module that caters to the specific needs of a
building finance association´s distribution network. This will enable
our partners - in this case Postbank and BHW Bausparkasse AG, its
building finance association - to operate even more effectively in
the highly competitive mortgage finance market", added Ronald Slabke,
Hypoport´s CEO. "Large distribution organisations that employ several
hundred advisers require customised solutions that dovetail with
their specific advisory strategies, product focus and applications
environment. The sort of individual solutions available in the past
were not connected to a marketplace. By offering web-based
distribution solutions that perfectly match our partners´ needs we
now aim to extend the benefits of our Europace marketplace to these
established market participants", Slabke explained Hypoport´s new
product offering.
