Preliminary figures indicate that aap Implantate AG (XETRA: AAQ.DE), a
global medical device company focused on innovative trauma products and
biomaterials for the orthopaedic market, achieved total sales in the first
quarter of 2012 of EUR 9.8 million, a 51% increase on the previous year´s
figure of EUR 6.5 million. The sales growth was driven by an 18% increase
in sales on product level to EUR 7.7 million (previous year: EUR 6.5
million) as well as from the sales of EUR 2.1 million from the exclusive
license agreement with a world-leading medical technology company announced
on March 23, 2012.

Based on the sales on product level in the first quarter 2012 and the
Company´s goal of achieving profitable growth, the Company anticipates that
EBITDA growth on product level in the first quarter 2012 will be stronger
than the sales increase on product level. In addition, based on the sales
on product level for the first quarter 2012, the management board of aap is
reiterating its full year 2012 outlook for a 10% sales increase on product
level.

The Company´s Q1 2012 report is scheduled for publication on May 15, 2012.
