quarterly report

Hamburg, 12 January 2012 (euro adhoc) - SinnerSchrader had a
successful start to the 2011/2012 financial year. In the 1st quarter
of 2011/2012 (1 September to 30 November 2011) the digital agency
group earned net revenue of Euro 9.3 million, the first time this
figure has exceeded Euro 9 million in a quarter. This means that the
dynamic expansion of the business volume, started in the spring of
2010, has continued in this quarter: the growth rate of 20.9 per cent
in comparison to the previous year was more than 20 per cent for the
sixth time in succession. In comparison to the preceding 4th quarter
of 2010/2011, revenue has risen by 11.9 per cent.

SinnerSchrader continued to profit from the strong demand for
services in the fields of e-commerce, digital marketing and online
media. Demand appears to be unaffected by the continuing debt crisis
and SinnerSchrader acquired five new clients in the Interactive
Marketing segment in the period of the report, in particular from the
Retail & Consumer Goods sector. SinnerSchrader expects two of these
new clients to generate more than Euro 1 million each.

As planned, the operating result (EBITA), at just under Euro 0.7
million, was well below the EBITA of the 1st quarter of 2010/2011,
which was Euro 1.2 million. The growth-related financial pressures,
comparatively high marketing costs, and the fact that an exceedingly
positive 1st quarter in the previous year in the media line of
business could not be repeated are the main factors in this EBITA
development. Overrunning costs in an ongoing fixed-price project have
also prevented the operating result from greatly surpassing the
result planned for the quarter of the report.

The net income amounted to just under Euro 0.3 million or 2.3 cents
per share.

Against the background of what has been achieved in the 1st quarter,
SinnerSchrader is confirming the forecasts for the year as a whole:
increasing revenue to at least Euro 35.5 million, improving EBITA by
25 per cent to more than Euro 3.25 million, and increasing the net
profit by 33 per cent to Euro 1.7 million. In view of the
above-mentioned problem in a fixed-price project that has not yet
been completed, tension with regard to the predicted profit has
heightened markedly.

As of 30 November 2011, the business dynamics have led to far more
funds being tied up in the working capital and thus to a fall in
liquid funds of Euro 1.8 million, to Euro 3.9 million. The fall was
so considerable because the Group's major corporate clients were slow
to pay on 30 November due to their year-end planning. As of 31
December 2011, however, the liquid funds were back at Euro 4.6
million, in spite of a dividend payment of Euro 1.1 million in the
interim.

The shareholders' equity rate on the balance sheet date of 30
November 2011 was unchanged in comparison to 31 August 2011, at 59.4
per cent. At the end of the quarter of this report, the
SinnerSchrader Group had 419 employees, 19 more than on 31 August
2011.
