Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/quarterly report

Berlin, 6 October 2010 (euro adhoc) - The volume of transactions
generated by the Europace platform in the third quarter of 2010 grew
by EUR900 million compared with the corresponding period of 2009. The
Company managed to achieve this impressive result by winning market
share, successfully implementing its new underlying technology and
benefiting from benign market conditions. It will underpin this
encouraging trend by introducing further measures over the coming
quarters.

Growing by 24.9 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2009, the
volume of transactions generated by the Europace financial
marketplace in the third quarter of 2010 comfortably exceeded the
record figure it had achieved in the second quarter of this year. "We
too are highly impressed by the total transaction volume of EUR4.483
billion that we are reporting for the third quarter of 2010", was how
Thilo Wiegand, a member of Hypoport AG's Management Board, commented
on this result. By broadly positioning its Europace technology across
all segments of the banking industry, Hypoport AG was able to win
market share. Wiegand pointed out that the Company had managed to
generate significant business from the markets of regional
institutions with which it had forged partnerships. He also stressed
that Hypoport's new underlying technology provided customers with a
wider range of products and services because the alternative
offerings available now enabled it to customise its products so as to
meet all of its clients' individual needs.

Hypoport's mortgage finance business in the third quarter of 2010
grew by 22 per cent year on year for the aforementioned reasons.
Wiegand noted that market conditions had also played their part in
the Company's strong performance: "Following an excellent start to
the third quarter, a slight rise in interest rates towards the end of
the period gave an additional boost to the turnover generated on the
platform in September". Building finance products contributed EUR312
million of the transaction volume generated during the reporting
period. This business had grown significantly since its introduction
on the platform and consolidated at a high level at the beginning of
the third quarter of 2010. Initial indications towards the end of the
period suggested, however, that this business was starting to
generate modest growth again. The volume of transactions generated by
personal loans in the third quarter of 2010 fell by 23.1 per cent
compared to the third quarter of 2009 to approximately EUR265
million. The business volumes achieved by this segment were in line
with the market as a whole, and Europace was unable to decouple
itself from this trend in the short term.

Ronald Slabke, the chief executive officer of Hypoport AG, reckons
that Europace will continue to generate strong growth over the next
few quarters. "We will extend the successful new functionality of our
mortgage finance business to our personal lending operations. What's
more, the growing number of suppliers will constantly expand the
range of products and services available to our customers and further
increase the transaction volumes generated in this business",
stressed Slabke. He expects the number of product suppliers to have
risen to around 100 by the end of this year. The Company is also
engaged in intensive discussions with several attractive partners on
the use of additional services around its platform.
