4 01 FOREWORD LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Following a very encouraging fiscal year 2015 during which we extended our market lead, reached significant milestones and left the start-up phase we maintained our growth trajectory in the first quarter of 2016: billings rose by 66% from EUR 25.0 million to EUR 41.4 million, and revenues also grew strongly by 85% from EUR 2.4 million last year to EUR 4.4 million. The gross margin improved to 10.7% (prior year: 9.5%). Sales made particularly good progress in the first quarter driven above all by the»eurojackpot«, which reached the second-highest figure in the history of this European lottery in March with EUR 75 million, while»lotto 6aus49«recorded only small jackpots. Against this backdrop, we employed efficient marketing activities to successfully persuade 106 thousand new customers to play lotto online using Lotto24 (prior year: 56 thousand). Moreover, we achieved this while significantly reducing cost per lead (CPL) to EUR 25.45 (prior year: EUR 36.17). In total, we raised the number of registered customers by more than 71%, from 577 thousand in the previous year to 989 thousand as of 31 March 2016. In April, we finally passed the first million mark providing a sustainable basis for our future success. Due to the jackpot-related expansion of marketing activities, marketing expenses rose from EUR -2.0 million (prior year) to EUR -2.7 million. Despite these increased costs, EBIT improved to EUR -2.1 million (prior year: EUR -3.0 million) and the net result for the period amounted to EUR -0.8 million (prior year: EUR -2.6 million). We permanently strive to offer our customers an even better Lotto24 experience. To this end, we expanded the variety of products offered on our online platform in the first quarter of 2016: in January, we launched the daily lottery»keno«, followed in February by high-margin lotto clubs which offer our customers the opportunity to play together with other customers. We have already received a very positive response to both products. After the reporting date, we also successfully launched the important payment method»paypal«for Lotto24. Ladies and gentlemen, in the first quarter of 2016 we remained firmly on our growth trajectory the positive KPIs prove that we are effectively implementing our strategy. We hope you will continue to accompany us on this exciting journey and look forward to welcoming you to our Annual General Meeting in Hamburg on 24 May 2016. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us! Hamburg, 10 May 2016 Petra von Strombeck Chief Executive Officer Magnus von Zitzewitz Member of the Executive Board

5 02 DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS AND MATERIAL EVENTS IN THE REPORTING PERIOD BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS PROMISING BUSINESS MODEL Lotto24 AG is Germany s leading online provider of state-licensed lotteries (www.lotto24.de). Lotto24 brokers customer tickets to the state-owned lottery companies of Germany s federal states, for which it receives a commission. The product range includes»lotto 6aus49«,»Spiel 77«,»Super 6«,»EuroJackpot«,»GlücksSpirale«, lotto clubs and»keno«. Following its foundation in 2010 and IPO in 2012 on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard), Lotto24 is now the clear market leader and well ahead of its competitors. As a fast-growing company with a strong service and customer orientation, Lotto24 aims to provide its customers with the most convenient, secure and modern game experience possible both online and mobile. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Lotto24 AG is headed by Petra von Strombeck (CEO) and Magnus von Zitzewitz (Executive Board). Ms von Strombeck is responsible for Corporate Strategy and Development, Marketing, Sales, the B2C (Business-to-Customer) and ASP (Application Service Provider) business fields, as well as Investor Relations, Human Resources and Organisation, IT Strategy, Systems, Processes and IT Operation.

6 ECONOMIC REPORT LEGAL AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS In addition to the legal conditions already described in detail in the Annual Report 2015, the following new developments occurred in the reporting period: New ruling of the European Court of Justice (»ECJ«) With its ruling of 4 February 2016 in the matter»ince«(c-336/14), the ECJ declared the permit requirement for sports betting products a core element of German gaming regulation to be inapplicable until further notice. The ECJ confirms that German authorities are not allowed to forbid a sports betting provider authorised to operate in other EU countries from brokering such sports betting in Germany, as long as the licensing procedure for sports betting, which is included in the German State Treaty on Games of Chance (»GlüStV«) but has failed in practice does not comply with the EU s legal principles of equal treatment and transparency. As a consequence, non-licensed sports betting can be operated, brokered and advertised in Germany until further notice in sports betting shops, or via machines and the Internet. By contrast, nothing has changed for so-called secondary lotteries, which are not permitted under the GlüStV. The ruling demonstrates the inconsistency of the GlüStV and forces the legislature to make amendments which might lead to a gradual lifting of restrictions for permitted state lotteries in the medium term. The ECJ s ruling on the obligation to notify state regulations for online services, for example, may possibly result in the inapplicability of the GlüStV s Internet and advertising guidelines as these have not been notified to the European Commission so far. Political conditions During preparations for the Conference of Minister Presidents in March 2016, various proposals for amending the GlüStV were discussed and in particular how the sports betting ruling of the Hesse Administrative Court in 2015 should be handled. According to press reports, the federal states of Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia proposed only minimal changes, while the state responsible for issuing sports betting licences, Hesse, submitted a very comprehensive draft to the Conference of Minister Presidents. According to press reports, however, extensive changes to the GlüStV were opposed by the majority of those attending the Conference of Minister Presidents. Instead, the currently valid State Treaty on Games of Chance should be continued with only»minimally invasive«changes. The reform proposals of Hesse were duly noted. However, as amendments to the GlüStV require the consent of all 16 states, a political consensus is uncertain. This also depends on whether the European Commission initiates infringement proceedings against the Federal Republic of Germany and which regulations are thereby challenged. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS We reported extensively on the economic conditions, the development of the overall lottery market and its online segment in the Annual Report 2015. As the German Association of State Lottery Companies (»Deutscher Lotto- und Totoblock, DLTB«) only provides information on market figures for the online segment once at the beginning of each fiscal year, we did not receive any new information in the reporting period.

7 Good jackpot situation We expect particularly strong increases in the number of registered customers when potential players have greater expectations of exceptional winnings in other words, especially when there are large jackpots to be won. Such jackpots are comprised of stakes bet by players who did not meet the conditions for winning prizes and which are then paid out to the winners on top of regular prizes in a subsequent draw. In the German»6aus49«lottery, this relates in particular to the combination of six correct numbers and the super number. Whereas»Lotto 6aus49«only produced small jackpots in the first quarter of 2016 similar to the previous year the»eurojackpot«recorded the second-highest amount in the history of this European lottery in March with EUR 75 million. JACKPOT DEVELOPMENT in EUR million 100 80 60 40 20 0 1 January 31 March 2016 EuroJackpot Lotto 6aus49 2015 EuroJackpot Lotto 6aus49 BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Launch of Keno and lotto clubs As of the end of January 2016, our customers can play»keno«a number lottery offering winnings of up to one million euros every day. 20 numbers are drawn from a total of 70; players can choose between one and ten numbers. The size of the win then depends on the number of hits, the amount of numbers crossed and the size of the stake. In contrast to the well-known lotteries»lotto 6aus49«and»EuroJackpot«,»Keno«has fixed odds. Someone who bets EUR 10 and chooses ten numbers will win EUR 1 million if these ten numbers are among the 20 drawn.»keno«is not only the lottery with the most variants offered by Lotto24, it also offers exceptionally high chances of winning: the probability of a major win is 1:2.2 million. We have been offering lotto clubs for»lotto 6aus49«and»EuroJackpot«since the beginning of February 2016. Our customers can submit numerous tickets with lower stakes and thus significantly increase their chance of winning compared to individual tickets. This new offering is a response to the wish of many customers to play in teams. Lotto24 started with four different product variants in which customers can buy shares. In the case of a win, the prize money is shared, all members of the lotto club notified and the winnings automatically credited to the players accounts. We expect the introduction of lotto clubs to raise our gross margin slightly in the medium term.

8 POSITION Unless stated otherwise, all key performance figures (KPIs) are stated in thousands of euros (EUR thousand), which may lead to rounding differences in certain cases. INCOME STATEMENT in EUR thousand Q. I 2016 Q.

This number is disclosed after adjustment for multiple registrations and deregistrations. Average number of registered customers: the arithmetic mean of the month-end figures for registered customers in the period under review Active customers: customers who complete at least one transaction per month Average activity rate: the relationship between the average number of active customers and the average number of registered customers in one year Average number of active customers in one year: the arithmetic mean of the number of active customers in each month of a year Average billings per active customer: the relationship between total billings of Lotto24 AG (incl. B2B and business services) and the average number of active customers All KPIs make good progress In the first quarter of 2016, billings rose by 66%, from EUR 25,002 thousand to EUR 41,432 thousand, and revenues exceeded the prior-year figure of EUR 2,387 thousand with growth of 85% to EUR 4,420 thousand. Revenues result mainly from commissions received from the state lottery companies for the brokerage of lottery products, as well as from additional fees and ticket fees incurred in connection with the brokerage of stakes. We offer IT and marketing services to major online portals for the operation of their own online lottery services (B2B and business services). In 2012, we already recruited two major partners as multipliers for these integrated services with WEB.DE and GMX. The billings from these cooperations and the corresponding revenues are included in our figures, but not disclosed separately for contractual reasons. Furthermore customers generated via these partners are not included in the number of registered customers. This must be considered when assessing the respective figures. Thanks to the quantity scales agreed with certain state lottery companies and the increased margins of lotto clubs, our gross margin improved to 10.7% in the first quarter of 2016 (prior year: 9.5%). Due to the favourable jackpot situation in the first quarter, accompanied by efficient marketing activ ities, we successfully persuaded around 106 thousand new customers to play lotto online via our platform (prior year: 56 thousand). Moreover, we achieved this while significantly reducing CPL to EUR 25.45 (prior year: EUR 36.17). In total, we raised the number of registered customers by more than 71%, from 577 thousand in the previous year to 989 thousand as of 31 March 2016.

10 Year-on-year improvement in earnings We improved EBIT in the first quarter of 2016 to EUR -2,139 thousand (prior year: EUR -2,984 thousand). The financial result amounted to EUR -18 thousand (prior year: EUR 72 thousand). Financial income included in this figure resulted from interest received on investing liquid funds not immediately required. This was opposed by interest paid on loans to cover operations, as well as the financing of IT insourcing and data centre equipment. The net result for the period improved by EUR 1,831 thousand to EUR -798 thousand (prior year: EUR -2,629 thousand). In the reporting period, deferred tax assets were formed for loss carryforwards again, while still taking a more conservative view compared to the previous year. Earnings per share improved to EUR -0.03 (prior year: EUR -0.12). Development of key income statement items At the end of the reporting period on 31 March 2016, Lotto24 AG had 73 employees (full-time equivalents, excluding the two Executive Board members, prior year: 45). In addition, there were 15 student helpers mainly in the call centre (prior year: 19). Due mainly to the year-on-year increase in headcount, especially in IT, personnel expenses increased to EUR -1,981 thousand (prior year: EUR -1,188 thousand). Compared to the same period last year, other operating expenses rose from EUR -4,111 thousand to EUR -4,388 thousand. The development in detail was as follows: Due in particular to activities designed to exploit the favourable jackpot situation and raise sales, marketing expenses of EUR -2,707 thousand exceeded the prior-year figure of EUR -2,013 thousand. Indirect costs of EUR -1,095 thousand were significantly down on the previous year (EUR -1,509 thousand). This is mainly due to the fact that our software is now developed by our own personnel. In addition, the completion of the IT insourcing process led to a reduction in costs for external IT consultancy services. Since the end of 2015, direct costs of operations amounting to EUR -587 (prior year: EUR -589 thousand) mainly comprise costs for payment transactions and bad debts. Despite the strong increase in billings, direct costs as a whole fell slightly as external usage fees for the technical processing of gaming operations were incurred for the last time at the end of 2015. We have since handled the corresponding processes with our own IT resources. As the remaining direct costs rise in proportion with billings, we expect that they will continue to increase in future. The increase in depreciation/amortisation of tangible and intangible assets to EUR -215 thousand (prior year: EUR -88 thousand) resulted mainly from the scheduled depreciation of equipment for our data centres, as well as amortisation of our smartphone and tablet apps, and depreciation of acquired office and communication technology.

11 FINANCIAL POSITION Financial analysis Our financial situation is mainly dominated by equity and short-term liabilities with an increased proportion of long-term liabilities. As of 31 March 2016, equity of EUR 23,570 thousand comprised the following items: EQUITY in EUR thousand 31.03.2016 31.12.2015 Subscribed capital 24,155 24,155 Capital reserves 41,012 41,012 Other reserves -50-56 Retained earnings -41,547-40,748 Total 23,570 24,362 Subscribed capital equals the Company s share capital and is fully paid. As of 31 March 2016, trade payables comprised the following items: TRADE PAYABLES in EUR thousand 31.03.2016 31.12.2015 Trade payables 1,882 1,609 Total 1,882 1,609 Trade payables mostly comprise open payment obligations as of the balance sheet date for legal as well as technical consultancy and marketing services already received. All trade payables have remaining terms of up to one year. As of 31 March 2016, other liabilities comprised the following items: OTHER LIABILITIES in EUR thousand 31.03.2016 31.12.2015 Liabilities from gaming operations 5,960 6,593 Liabilities from hire purchase agreements 576 629 Holiday obligations 135 74 Amounts due in connection with taxes 341 90 Interest liabilities 85 87 Other 8 5 Total 7,104 7,478

12 At the end of the reporting period, other liabilities fell to EUR 7,104 thousand (prior year: EUR 7,478 thousand). They mainly comprise liabilities from gaming operations of EUR 5,960 thousand (prior year: EUR 6,593 thousand). This item, which is expected to increase further as billings grow, comprises obligations from invoicing our customers and the state lottery companies. Liabilities from hire purchase agreements (EUR 576 thousand; prior year: EUR 629 thousand) comprise the current payments, due within twelve months, for IT equipment at the new data centres. There was also a rise in amounts due in connection with taxes mostly payroll processing as a result of reporting date effects (EUR 341 thousand; prior year: EUR 90 thousand) and holiday obligations (EUR 135 thousand; prior year: EUR 74 thousand). Interest obligations at the end of the reporting period (EUR 85 thousand; prior year: EUR 87 thousand) result from loans taken out. Interest-bearing financial loans comprise longer-term financial obligations which we took out to fund operations in connection with IT insourcing (EUR 3,000 thousand; prior year: EUR 3,000 thousand) and the non-current portion of hire purchase agreements for IT equipment at the new data centres in Germany (EUR 322 thousand; prior year: EUR 424 thousand). Investment analysis In the reporting period, we invested a total of EUR -127 thousand (prior year: EUR -212 thousand), mainly in the development of apps as part of our expanded product portfolio (»Keno«and lotto clubs), as well as in software and hardware needed for operations. Liquidity analysis KEY CASH FLOW ITEMS in EUR thousand Q. I 2016 Q. I 2015 Cash flow from operating activities -2,015-2,936 Cash flow from investing activities 874-212 thereof financial investments 1,000 thereof operative investments -127-212 Cash flow from financing activities -155 Change in available funds -1,296-3,148 Available funds at the beginning of the period 5,073 6,588 Available funds at the end of the period 3,777 3,440 Available-for-sale financial investments (available >3 months and <1 year) 3,585 3,649 Held-to-maturity financial investments Available funds 7,362 7,088 Due mainly to the positive development of earnings in the first quarter, cash flow from operating activities improved to EUR -2,015 thousand (prior year: EUR -2,936 thousand). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR 874 thousand (prior year: EUR -212 thousand) as the net payments received from the sale of financial assets exceeded disbursements for capital expenditure. Cash flow from financing activities of EUR -155 thousand (prior year: EUR thousand) resulted from the continuation of loans.

14 REPORT ON EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS AND ASSOCIATED MATERIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS We reported in detail on expected developments and associated material opportunities and risks in the Annual Report 2015. There were no new opportunities and risks in the reporting period. FORECAST REPORT In view of the statistical uncertainties resulting from jackpots in the remaining fiscal year, we are initially upholding the guidance published in January 2016: In 2016, we plan to consolidate and expand our market leadership as an online provider of state lotteries. Provided that external conditions remain unchanged, and depending on the jackpot situation, we will pursue a strategy of moderate and sustainable growth. Assuming a statistically average jackpot frequency and amounts, we expect lower jackpot effects than in the previous record year and therefore plan a significant reduction in marketing expenses, a much lower number of new customers and a higher CPL. We expect an increase in billings of 25% to 30%, a slight year-on-year improvement in gross margin, and lower losses than in the previous year with regard to both EBIT and the net result. We believe that either no or only minor funding will be required until we break even. We intend to review this guidance in course of the publication of our half-yearly financial report. Overall statement on the expected development of Lotto24 AG We have many years of sector and management experience, an attractive range of products and services, and are well positioned as the clear market leader in the rapidly growing online lottery market. We believe we are therefore excellently prepared for the future and can benefit from the enormous potential of the online segment.
