Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/Volume of Transactions

Berlin (euro adhoc) - 14 July 2011: In the second quarter of this
year the EUROPACE financial marketplace generated its largest-ever
quarterly volume of transactions (EUR 4.64 billion). Its volumes of
mortgage finance, personal loans and building finance products
continued to grow.

The EUR 4.64 billion worth of transactions generated by EUROPACE in
the second quarter of this year beat the previous record of EUR 4.48
billion set in Q3 2010 by 3.4 per cent. This represents an increase
of 12.5 per cent compared with the first quarter of the current year
(Q1 2011: EUR 4.12 billion) and a year-on-year improvement of 17.3
per cent (Q2 2010: EUR 3.95 billion).

Mortgage finance market subdued The volume of mortgage finance
transactions came to EUR 3.68 billion, which was 6.1 per cent higher
than in the previous quarter (Q1 2011: EUR 3.47 billion). This
constitutes a year-on-year rise of 11.5 per cent (Q2 2010: EUR 3.3
billion). "Conditions in the mortgage finance market are relatively
subdued at present", explained Thilo Wiegand, who sits on Hypoport's
Management Board. "The recent trend of rising mortgage interest rates
has peaked for the time being. Many people looking to buy property
are waiting before they arrange the necessary finance in the hope
that interest rates will fall." The volume of personal-loan
transactions grew by 26.1 per cent on the previous quarter to EUR
0.31 billion (Q1 2011: EUR 0.25 billion), which meant that it was
almost back to where it had been a year ago (Q2 2010: EUR 0.32
billion). Building finance products made a particularly valuable
contribution to the overall growth in EUROPACE transaction volumes,
advancing by 59.3 per cent compared with the previous quarter. Year
on year, the volume of building finance products generated on
EUROPACE almost doubled, surging by 93.4 per cent from EUR 0.34
billion in Q2 2010 to EUR 0.65 billion in Q2 2011. As in the previous
quarter, the new Baufi Online XL (BOXL) mortgage finance sales
platform contributed to this performance. Its technology is based on
that of EUROPACE 2 - the next-generation transaction platform - and
has been custom-tailored to the distribution channels run by BHW
Bausparkasse and Deutsche Postbank.
