published its consolidated financial report for the first half-year of 2016

With consideration for factors such as tax expenditure of 1.8 million
euros, as at 30 June 2016 msg life generated net income of 0.1 million
euros for the period (30 June 2015: 1.2 million euros) and therefore break-

from operating activities totalled 0.8 million euros (30 June 2015: 1.5
million euros).

Equity as at 30 June 2016 totalled 46.2 million euros, remaining at almost
the same level as at 31 December 2015. The equity ratio was 54.3 per cent
as at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 56.8 per cent). At the end of the
first half of 2016, msg life employed a total of 882 members of staff (30
June 2015: 859 employees).

business with existing customers in the reporting period, a fact which

generally promising sales pipeline, the company expects further sales
successes in the second half of the year.

taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortisation of
