Berlin, March 22, 2010 - In 2009 MBB Industries AG (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4)
generated, as in the previous years, a positive result with its current six
portfolio companies and predicts an increasing profit for the year 2010.

According to provisional, unaudited figures, MBB's consolidated group
revenue was 116.6 million euros, after 199.3 million euros in 2008. Net
income amounted to 3.5 million euros compared with 8.0 million euros in
2008. The decline in revenues and earnings is partly cyclical, but the
major part is due to the sale of Reimelt Henschel group in the second
quarter of 2009. Earnings per share 2009 were 54 cents, compared to 1.22
euro in 2008.

In 2009 the holding company Delignit AG's activities as a commercial
vehicle supplier were affected by the ongoing financial and economic
crisis. At the same time Hanke developed very well as a producer of tissue
products.

The high level of net cash of 10.7 million euros, including the physical
stocks of gold, is caused by the sale of Reimelt Henschel group and
represents an improvement over the previous year's comparison date on which
net financial liabilities were reported. Equity rose to 55.6 million euros,
with a liquidity, including gold, of 35.3 million euros, the equity ratio
is 54.5 percent.

For the current fiscal year, the board forecasts a turnover of 120 million
euros based on the current company portfolio and a higher profit compared
to last year's figures, as it assumes an improved economic situation for
2010 and the process improvements and adjustments made in the holdings are
expected to have their full effect. The board considers the capital and
liquidity position to be an extremely good basis for growth in the current
market environment through the acquisition of new companies.
