TOMORROW FOCUS AG

HALF-YEAR-REPORT AS OF JUNE 30, 2007

DEAR TOMORROW FOCUS AG SHAREHOLDERS,

In the first half of the current financial year 2007, TOMORROW FOCUS AG achieved € 32.2 million in sales after € 27.4 million over the same period in the previous year. In spite of losses in Portal sales due to the modified partnership with MSN, sales rose by 18 % overall. Sales in the second quarter of 2007 were increased to € 17.4 million, equivalent to a 18 % year-on-year improvement (previous year: € 14.7 million). TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s first-half operative development accordingly progressed much more positively than anticipated and successfully continued the previously initiated margin-strengthening measures. First-half earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled € 3.8 million after € 1.8 million the previous year, a 111 % increase. Earnings before taxes (EBT) in the same period amounted to € 2.6 million after € 1.2 million the year before. Including € (0.3) million in final consolidation of discontinued operations, consolidated net profit totaled € 1.7 million in the first half of the current financial year 2007, representing an 89 % improvement on the previous year’s € 0.9 million.

According to Nielsen Media Research, gross advertising sales from January to June 2007 totaled € 474 million. Due to additional figures re-ported by online marketers and to adjustment of campaign valuations on the basis of agreed conventions, the new method of compiling Nielsen Online data leads at media schedule level to a change in Nielsen Online advertising statistics. Figures for the previous year are no longer shown. In the first half, the heaviest advertising investment in the online medium was made by online service providers with a total of € 81.1 million, followed by telecom providers with € 41.7 million, financial service providers with € 34.4 million, retailers with € 33.1 million and the e-commerce industry with € 26.5 million. Between them, these five industries account for 45.7 % of online medium advertising expenditure. In overall sales recorded by Nielsen Media Research for the entire German advertising market, first-half investment in the classic media, in-cluding direct mail, online and cinema advertising, amounted to € 10.1 billion. In Germany, € 4.2 billion was spent on TV advertising, while € 2.7 billion was invested in advertising in daily newspapers and around € 2.0 billion in general interest magazines. Online advertising’s growing share of the advertising market is now 3 %, or still a very small proportion when compared with market shares in the United States or the United Kingdom.

COURSE OF BUSINESS

Online Coverage

The latest AGOF Internet facts, 2007-I, confirms TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s leading position among online marketers and the media. With 12 million unique users per month and 31.1 % coverage of online users, the marketing group holds a strong fourth place behind United Internet Media (18.8 million), Interactive Media (17.05 million) and SevenOne Interactive (16.75 million unique users). The TOMORROW FOCUS network boasts a wider coverage than any of its online competitors in the publishing segment.

With MAP24, Chip, Focus, HolidayCheck,Antenne Bayern,TV Spielfilm and TV Today,TOMORROW FOCUS AG accounts for seven brands among the 100 largest websites in the AGOF ranking.

Although a number of portals sustained temporary traffic losses due to the modification of the MSN contract, substantial investment in TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s own brands resulted in three successful relaunches of Focus, FitForFun and Max. Further relaunches of AMICA, CINEMA and TV Spielfilm are planned for the third quarter of this year. Growth in overall marketing coverage was achieved by means of above-average increases by brands such as Chip and HolidayCheck. More marketing partners from the Web 2.0 environment such as Sevenload, Piczo and Schwarze Karte will be listed in the next wave and will trigger further coverage growth.

About AGOF

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung (AGOF) was founded in December 2002 to ensure transparency and practical standards in Internet and online advertising research irrespective of individual interests. Its aim is to establish the new uniform coverage currency in the market as the basis for online media planning.

PREMIUM PUBLISHERS ONLINE:

NEW EUROPEAN MARKETING NETWORK

In the first half of the current financial year, TOMORROW FOCUS AG launched an international marketing offensive. On TOMORROW FOCUS’s initiative, leading European publishers joined forces in setting up a European marketing network under the name PREMIUM PUBLISHERS ONLINE (PPO). Its quality portfolio starts with six partners and 40.2 million unique users in eight European countries. By the year’s end, the network is to be extended to around ten partners.

The PREMIUM PUBLISHERS ONLINE quality network is TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s response to growing demand among international media agencies for comfortable one-stop Internet advertising shopping in several countries at the same time. In its four-year MSN marketing coop-eration until the end of 2006, TOMORROW FOCUS AG built up extensive international sales know-how and last year earned well over 10 % of its sales in international campaigns. At the same time, the Group is paving the way for further international activities after the successful expansion of HolidayCheck AG.

The company estimates the market volume for pan-European bookings this year at around € 130 million net. Compared with the players that have been relevant until now, such as AOL, MSN and Yahoo, PREMIUM PUBLISHERS ONLINE is the ideal add-on in the quality editorial envi-ronment segment for agencies and advertisers.

In the PPO core member-country the UK, the Daily Mail and General Trust plc (DMGT) is the strategic partner with premium media such as the Daily Mail, Metro and This is London. The UK network reaches 3.8 million users, giving it 12.3 % coverage of the British online community. In { around 5.6 million unique users. One of the largest networks in the PPO portfolio is that of El Mundo in Spain, which with 9.1 million users

and 19.6 % coverage. The third-largest community is that of the Agora Group in Poland. With 5.1 million users, Gazeta reaches around 38.8 % of the Polish Internet community. Thus, PPO does justice to the growing demand for advertising environments in Eastern Europe in the Eastern European country with the highest Internet penetration.

FURTHER MARKETING PARTNERS IN THE WEB 2.0 NETWORK

As marketer of publishers’ websites with the highest coverage in Germany also extended its portfolio toward Web 2.0 marketing in the second quarter of the current financial year. Three new partners were gained for a start. Sevenload, Piczo, Schwarze Karte and existing partner HolidayCheck account for more than 500 million additional page impressions. They were combined in a new Web 2.0 marketing segment. With its strong alignment of marketing decision makers toward community portals, TOMORROW FOCUS AG is the first marketer in Germany to bundle its Web 2.0 offerings. Using behavioral targeting tools and newly developed offerings, customers are provided with a wide range of new advertising opportunities.

The portfolio is to be extended step by step to include other premium providers with a view to making a significant seven-digit contribution toward sales in its first year.

SHARE PRICE

In recent months, the TOMORROW FOCUS AG share price has settled down at over € 3.00. After the HolidayCheck and ElitePartner acquisitions, the analysts anticipate a share price of at least € 4.00 for a time. In addition, from the third quarter TOMORROW FOCUS AG will be covered by LBBW and Viscardi Securities. TOMORROW FOCUS AG will have six banks that provide regular coverage and publish regular reports on the company.

EARNINGS, EXPENSES AND INVESTMENTS

In the first half of the current financial year, TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled € 3.8 million, which was a marked improvement on the previous year’s € 1.8 million. After € 1.7 million in depreciation, the operating result (EBIT) in the reporting period amounted to € 2.1 million (previous year: € 0.8 million).

SEGMENT REPORT

Portal activities made very pleasing progress in the first half of the current financial year. After the modification of cooperation with MSN

comparison with the previous year is possible to only a limited extent. Sales in the first half amounted to € 12.1 million after € 18.4 million the previous year. The relaunches of brand portals and the focus on new moving image applications, on Mein FOCUS and on setting up com-munities have led to a significant increase in time spent per portal site visit.

Technology activities totaled € 3.8 million external sales in the first half of 2007. They included € 2.2 million in one-off sales from the disposal

of software in connection with a leasing agreement with Deutsche Leasing GmbH. This item has no effect on results. The segment’s contribution toward total sales (internal and external) is, therefore, on a par with the previous year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amor-tization amounted to € 0.6 million in the first half of the current financial year after K€ 76 in the previous year. The period result improved in the reporting period from € (0.3) million to € (0.2) million.

Developments in TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s E-Commerce segment were outstanding. Sales in the previous Equity Investments division amounted to € 16.8 million in the first half of 2007.This segment includes the operating business of HolidayCheck AG and Playboy Deutschland Publishing GmbH and, up until the end of July, the business of Bellevue and more GmbH. In the future it will also include the business of EliteMedianet GmbH with its ElitePartner portal. In the first half of the current financial year, the segment’s earnings before interest, taxes, de-preciation and amortization totaled € 4.8 million. The operating result (EBIT) for the period amounted to € 4.2 million and net profit for the year added up to € 3.5 million.

EMPLOYEES

In the first half of 2007 TOMORROW FOCUS AG had 298 employees. BELLEVUE AND MORE AG is included on quota basis by 42 percent.

OUTLOOK

TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s published first-half results vindicate the consistent portfolio adjustment undertaken by the Management Board duo Winners and Schuh. After the Travelnet and BELLEVUE AND MORE disposals, TOMORROW FOCUS AG is now focused on optimizing its own brand portals by means of new applications and is consistently expanding business with further transaction platforms. In spite of investment in international expansion, the HolidayCheck AG travel platform is achieving high-margin growth. In ElitePartner,TOMORROW FOCUS AG now has another string to its bow in the high-growth transaction segment.

TOMORROW FOCUS AG is currently engaged in specific equity investment and takeover negotiations with other Internet enterprises. Its aim is to strengthen the advertising-financed portals and e-commerce segments by means of further acquisitions in the third quarter of 2007 and to improve profit margins further.

TOMORROW FOCUS AG’s business activities have progressed above plan in 2007 to date. Advance advertising bookings for the current third quarter have been pleasingly positive in spite of the customarily weak summer months. On the basis of information currently available, the Management Board reaffirms its forecast for the full year 2007 of € 70 million in sales and an EBITDA of € 10 million.

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS

Individual accounts for the entities in which equity investments are held are prepared as of the consolidated financial statements’ closing date. To prepare the consolidated financial statements, the Management Board must use the best possible estimates and assumptions, based on the latest current information, that have an effect on the stated values of assets and liabilities and on the details of contingent assets and li-abilities as of the reporting date, and which influence balance sheet income and expenditure in the reporting period. Actual subsequent re-sults may differ from these estimates.
