Berlin, November 9, 2009 - MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), a holding
company specialising in medium-sized industrial companies with sustainable
value growth potential, continues to be profitable despite of a decrease
in turnover.

Based on provisional figures, MBB consolidated group revenue attained
EUR21m in third quarter of 2009 compared with EUR46m in the third quarter
of the previous year. For the first nine months of 2009 turnover reached
EUR96m after EUR141m in the equivalent previous year's period. It should be
taken into consideration that the sale of the Reimelt-Henschel-Group and
the following deconsolidation by the end of May resulted in a significant
decline in turnover.

Earnings for the third quarter of 2009 were at EUR0.7m compared with
EUR2.0m for the equivalent previous period. Earnings per share were 11
cents. This implies earnings per share of 46 cents for the first nine
months. The nine-months-earnings reached EUR3.0m after EUR6.7m in the first
nine months of 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, MBB had liquid funds of EUR36.1m and a net-cash
position (liquid funds less bank liabilities) of EUR12.2m.

For the year 2009 as a whole, the management board of MBB Industries
forecasts a turnover of EUR120m accompanied by a lower level of earnings
compared to the previous year. Furthermore, the management board expects
that MBB Industries is given a good chance of expanding its holdings
portfolio through acquisitions in the current market environment, due to
the MBB's favourable equity base and liquidity position.

The quarterly report will be made available on November 27, 2009 and can
then be downloaded from www.mbbindustries.com.
