6-month report

Subtitle: Operating profit (EBIT) of EUR 2.7 million in first
half-year / Positive consolidated net profit achieved / Acquisition
of new locations in Reutlingen and Düsseldorf / 195 units in "Renting
and Trading Real Estate" segment sold with book profit

Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - August 31, 2012 - Following the
conclusion of the first half of 2012, YOUNIQ AG looks back at an
overall positive business development. The sale of the projects in
Karlsruhe and Greifswald to MPC Capital was completed on February 29,
2012, for example. The company also registered greater dynamics in
its "Student Housing" core business area with the acquisition of two
plots of land in Reutlingen and Düsseldorf in the second quarter.
Around 500 new apartments are to be created there, subject to the
successful conclusion of the building approvals process. The profit
from the market valuation of investment properties improved to EUR
4.7 million at Group level in the first six months (previous year:
EUR 2.6 million). Rental income also grew to EUR 4.2 million
(previous year: EUR 3.8 million). Further progress was made with the
disposal of the legacy portfolio. In its "Renting and Trading Real
Estate" segment, YOUNIQ AG sold eight properties with a total of 195
units with a book profit. The YOUNIQ Group generated EUR 2.7 million
of operating profit (EBIT) in the first half of 2012 (previous year:
EUR 2.6 million). At EUR 44 k, consolidated net profit was
significantly above of the previous year's loss of EUR 762 k.

On the assets side, property, plant and equipment, and investment
properties fell to EUR 100.1 million as of June 30, 2012 due to the
transfer of the Greifswald und Karlsruhe projects to MPC Capital on
February 29, 2012, and the related de-consolidation. Total assets
reduced to EUR 158.3 million in this connection (December 31, 2011:
EUR 183.7 million). On the financing side, YOUNIQ AG significantly
cut its non-current and current liabilities by EUR 25.0 million to
EUR 70.7 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 96.1 million). This is
mainly attributable to the repayment of project-related loans as part
of the transfer of the Greifswald and Karlsruhe locations to MPC.
Equity increased slightly to EUR 87.7 million as of June 30, 2012
(December 31, 2011: EUR 87.6 million). The equity ratio as of the
balance sheet date was up from 47.4% to 55.4% due to the lower level
of total assets.

Rainer Nonnengässer, CEO of YOUNIQ AG, commented as follows: "We are
satisfied overall with the course of the first half of the year,
particularly in the 'Student Housing' area. Further operating
highlights are due in the second half of the year with the completion
of our first locations in Frankfurt am Main and Munich. The Munich
Schleissheimer Strasse project will transfer to the MPC fund as the
third and penultimate property. We also aim to reach our 2012
forecast to acquire five new projects in our 'Student Housing'
segment. Disposals from our real estate portfolio are also proceeding
to plan overall so that we can assume that we will be able to sell
the portfolio by the end of the year."

The Management Board regards YOUNIQ AG as being outstandingly
positioned on the market to generate further growth. With a view to
the continued good overall conditions, the Management Board
anticipates business growth and positive results for 2012 and 2013.
