9-month report

Subtitle: Total revenue of EUR 25.9 million as of September 30, 2011
/ EBIT of EUR 3.49 million after first nine months of 2011 / Positive
trend expected for Student Housing segment in 2011 and 2012

Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - November 18, 2011 - YOUNIQ AG, the
leading provider of high-quality student apartments in Germany, has
today published its results for the first nine months of 2011. The
company generated EUR 25.90 million of total revenue in the reporting
period (previous year: EUR 27.43 million). Of this amount EUR 17.28
million were attributable to its core "Student Housing" segment
(previous year: EUR 18.76 million). This decline is mainly due to
lower revenues from construction contracts, which will be replaced by
the company's own project developments in the future.

YOUNIQ generated EUR 3.49 million of EBIT during the first nine
months of 2011 (previous year: EUR 4.66 million). The financial
result of EUR 5.28 million included interest expenses of EUR 1.67
million for the shareholder loan that burdened net income in the
first nine months of 2011 and that has been waived in the meantime.
As a consequence, net income amounted to EUR -1.63 million as of
September 30, 2011, compared with EUR 1.60 million in the prior-year
period. It should also be noted in this context that various
milestones that have been reached in 2011, such as the capital
increase and the co-operation venture with the issuing house MPC
Capital, will impact the Group's earnings position with a time delay.

There was a significant year-on-year improvement in the company's
financing structure as of September 30, 2011. Due to the successful
conclusion of the capital increase in June 2011, and the major
shareholder's subsequent waiver of EUR 37.6 million of loan
receivables, the company's balance sheet equity underwent a
significant increase from EUR 47.9 million at the end of 2010 to EUR
107.1 million. At the same time, net asset value (NAV) per share
increased from EUR 6.77 as of December 31, 2010 to EUR 10.28. The
Loan-to-Value ratio fell to 32.4% (previous year: 66.4%).

Rainer Nonnengässer, CEO of YOUNIQ AG, expressed his optimism about
corporate growth as follows: "We will drive ahead successively with
our expansion and our market leadership in the Student Housing
segment with further acquisitions at attractive university locations
both this and next year. We expect the positive trend in our core
business to continue due to the supply shortage and the continuously
high demand for attractive accommodation."

The Group is well positioned for further growth given its existing
project pipeline, solid financing structure and the tried and tested
YOUNIQ concept for student apartments. As a result of the planned
acquisitions of new projects, positive income effects are expected.
These will have a corresponding impact on YOUNIQ AG's profitability.
For this reason, the Management Board continues to anticipate a
positive trend for the 2011 and 2012 financial years.

The report for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 can be
