Berlin (euro adhoc) - 1 March 2009: Following on from its recently
reported increase in transaction volume, Hypoport AG expects revenues
to have continued growing at a rate well into the double-digit
percentage range in the fourth quarter 2008. The demand for impartial
and qualified consulting services free of any affiliation to
individual banks is raising the appeal both directly of the
internet-based all-round financial services we offer and indirectly
of EUROPACE, our B2B financial marketplace. In light of this trend,
coupled with the increasing stability of market factors, developments
can be expected to remain positive into 2009.

Hypoport Group once again continued to grow in the fourth quarter
2008. The Management Board therefore expects Group revenues to
witness growth well into the double-digit percentage range both by
quarter-on-quarter comparison and compared with the same quarter last
year. Ronald Slabke, Co-CEO of Hypoport AG, comments on the positive
business development: "In addition to this growth, we expect the
active business divisions to generate earnings at the same level
witnessed in previous quarters, in spite of the difficulties posed by
negative market conditions". The company will be presenting its
provisional results for the year as a whole on 17th March.

According to Prof. Dr. Thomas Kretschmar, Co-CEO of Hypoport AG:
"This result is very satisfactory overall and clearly sets us apart
from the performance witnessed by the market as a whole". According
to figures published by Bundesbank, new mortgage transactions dropped
by 3.3 percent in 2008 to their current level of EUR 176 billion. The
market volume for instalment loans even declined by 28.7 percent to
its current level of EUR 72 billion. The insurance industry is
witnessing stagnating premium revenues across all business divisions.

Kretschmar believes that this development is due to the structural
changes taking place in the market for financial services. Many
customers are disappointed with the "consulting quality" that their
banks offer when selling their own products and are increasingly
turning to impartial financial advisors instead. As Slabke explains:
"This is clearly visible, for example, from the excellent performance
demonstrated by the corporate clients division of Dr. Klein & Co. AG,
our all-round financial services subsidiary".

This year, the Management Board expects the overall market for
financial services to stabilise at its weak level of 2008. Banks will
continue to try and attract customer deposits to refinance their own
transactions, thus ensuring the availability of attractive terms for
call money and fixed deposits. Slabke emphasises the potential:
"Anyone who compares these offers with the internet terms quoted by
our subsidiary Dr. Klein, for example, can easily benefit from an
interest rate improvement of several percentage points for a secure
financial investment". At the same time, real estate will regain
importance as a crucial component of pension provision. This trend is
favoured by historically low interest rates. Hypoport is also
benefiting from further stimulus provided by the insurance market.
The marked increase in the cost of the national health insurance
scheme, for example, is opening up enormous potential to provide
customers with competent advice. Kretschmar adds: "In 2009, consumers
will adopt a much more sensitive and price-conscious approach to
their long-term financial decisions. We will reap the benefits,
together with any other providers of all-round financial services who
tailor their services to the needs of their customers".
