MEDION AG: Ad-hoc announcement in accordance with § 15 of the German Securities
Trading Act (WpHG)
Preliminary figures for Q1 2008

MEDION AG: Q1 2008 earnings significantly surpass previous year

According to preliminary unaudited figures, earnings before interest and taxes
(EBIT) of Medion AG for the 1st quarter of 2008 will improve to approx. EUR
6.7 million from the prior-year total of EUR 4.6 million. Due to a positive
financial result of EUR 0.5 million in 2008 after a negative financial
result of EUR -0.1 million in 2007, earnings before taxes will rise even
stronger than EBIT from EUR 4.5 million in 2007 to approx. EUR 7.2 million
in Q1 2008. As a consequence, MEDION's earnings per share will increase to
approx. EUR 0.11 in Q1 2008, up from EUR 0.06 in Q1 2007. Sales in Q1 2008
will rise to EUR 420 million from EUR 406 million in the previous year. The
more attractive product portfolio played a decisive role in the significant
improvement in earnings.

The complete report for Q1 2008 will be published on May 14, 2008 as announced.
