TOMORROW FOCUS Takes Over ElitePartner.de

Expansion through dating agency acquisition

Munich, July 04, 2007. TOMORROW FOCUS AG is taking over 63% in the
Hamburg-based dating agency ElitePartner. ElitePartner operates one
of the largest dating agencies in Germany, attracting 1,000 new users
a day. TOMORROW FOCUS AG is incorporating the Hamburg-based company
into its portfolio and plans to turn it into a highly successful
business.

ElitePartner was founded in 2004 and runs a fast-growing dating
agency business. At the time of takeover, the company had
approximately 500,000 registered users with an average age of
forty-two. 67% of its members are academics. From the 1,000 users
joining every day, 45% are male and 55% female. The business finances
itself through users´ monthly membership fees. ElitePartner is
expecting a turnover of over EUR 10 million for the financial year
2007 and a positive EBITDA. In 2006 turnover was over EUR 4 million.
Elitepartner has 47 employees and was awarded first place among 34
online dating agencies tested last year.

TOMORROW FOCUS AG has paid a first tranche of EUR 8.4 million for 58%
of the shares. At the same time, a capital increase of EUR 1 million
is being organized, where TOMORROW FOCUS receives a further 5% of the
shares. In addition, three part payments were agreed, independent
from sales and earnings development, which could lead to further
payments in 2008, 2009 and 2010 if corresponding targets are
achieved. If the company develops as planned, part payments will
amount to EUR 6 million. ElitePartner´s founder and its shareholder
Burda Digital Ventures GmbH, Munich, will retain a 20% holding and
17% of the invested shares. Option rights were agreed for these
shares. The management team lead by Arne Kahlke and Sören Kress
remain bound to the company in their roles as executive directors.

TOMORROW FOCUS AG has already transformed its previous 2006 travel
industry acquisition HolidayCheck into a highly successful and fast
growing business. With Elitepartner, TOMORROW FOCUS AG has gained
another important stake in a growing sector.
