weak pound hampers growth

  ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro
  adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely
  responsible for the content of this announcement.
6-month report
22.07.2009
In spite of recession, Syzygy AG was able to improve gross sales by
10 per cent to EUR 39.6 m in the period under review. Compared to
the first half of 2008, net sales showed an increase of 1 per cent
to EUR 15 m. If the exchanged rate GBP / EUR had remained constant,
growth of 18 per cent in gross sales and 8 per cent in net sales
would have been recorded.
Due to higher costs of revenues, operating income (EBITA) was down
15 per cent to EUR 2.1 m (previous year: EUR 2.5 m). The EBITA-
margin fell by 3 percentage points to 14 per cent.
At EUR 542,000, the financial income improved by 5 per cent. The
net income of EUR 2.1 m equals last year`s figure. As there were no
minority interests in the period under review, earnings per share
improved by 21 per cent or 3 Cent to EUR 0.17.
In the second quarter, the payment of dividends and the fulfillment
of payment obligations from former acquisitions amounted to a cash
outflow of EUR 7.4 m. As a result, liquid funds and securities
reduced by 29 per cent and totalled to EUR 17.8 m. This corresponds
to a cash portion of EUR 1.47 per share.

Syzygy AG is not anticipating an improvement of the general
economic setting in the second half of 2009. Important advertisers
of the automotive industry and the financial services sector are
restrictive in their advertising investments.
In spite of this, Syzygy is expecting to raise earnings per share
by 10 per cent to EUR 0.33 in 2009.
The quarterly report will be issued on July 31, 2009 and can be
downloaded at http://www.syzygy.net in the Investor Relations
section.
