Message from the Managing Board
Dear Shareholders.
Group capital ratio increased to 52.7% for the first half of 2009, while cash and cash equivalents rose to €38.6m. Operating output of the group fell by 14.9% compared to the previous year, while both operating result (EBITDA) and earnings per share remained sustainable positive, at €5.9m and 35 eurocents respectively; however, as expected, this is lower than in the corresponding period of the previous year. Shareholder reactions to the company development was positive, as was the response to the dividend payment of 25 cents per share, as evidenced by the Annual General Meeting in Berlin on June 30, at the end of the first half of the business year. The managing board regards MBB as being ideally placed for pursuing a strategy of strong expansion through acquisition, in an environment characterised by the economic crisis.
In early May 2009, we sold the Reimelt-Henschel-Group to the Zeppelin group from Friedrichshafen. MBB acquired Reimelt Henschel in August 2007, significantly enhancing both its turnover and result in the last year. The example of Reimelt Henschel is convincing proof of the attractiveness of the MBB business model – which comprises the purchase of medium-sized industrial companies at favourable terms, subjecting these companies to a consistent process of optimisation, strengthening them through buy & build acquisition, and selling them to strategic buyers - in this case within a period of less than two years.
Our Hanke and DTS Systeme holdings also grew in the first half of 2009, successfully underpinning their operational profitability by way of a series of progressive optimisations. Delignit was unable to improve its turnover and result levels with respect to the previous quarter, due to its dependency on the automobile industry, remaining on the same level as for that quarter. However, early preparatory activities in the form of comprehensive cost reduction measures are showing their effect. We regard the company's wide range of ecologically oriented products and innovative system solutions, which include building furnishings and fittings for rail vehicles, as a highly positive factor of Delignit's future success. The OBO and Huchtemeier holdings suffered another drop in turnover in the second quarter, but thanks to modifications, this has had little or no effect on result levels. The diversification of our portfolio has proven to be a considerable competitive advantage for MBB, particularly in view of the current state of the economy.
A healthy core and good cash assets on the one hand combined with MBB's 14 years of sustained economic management have led to the current situation whereby MBB is more than ever before an in-demand investor. The number of company offers we receive has increased significantly as a result. Many takeovers from the last few years
Message
conducted by private equity or holding companies have slid into difficulties or disrepute in the current economic climate. We are very pleased that precisely that which made MBB different in the past with regard to its method of taking over and developing medium-sized companies is today reflected in the increased esteem in which our company is held among potential sellers. We want to build on this, by pursuing strong growth through takeovers, in a market in which we have over the last few years successfully established ourselves as a leader.
MBB Industries' annual turnover for 2009 will fall to approx. €120m due to the sale of a holding. However, as in all previous years, MBB will again generate a sustainably positive annual result for 2009.
Yours faithfully,
Le Stirt

Interim Group Management Report
MBB Industries AG is a medium-sized investment company, which together with the companies in its portfolio, forms the MBB Group.
General and Business Conditions
The worldwide financial crisis is still placing increased strain on the real economy. This will continue to impact on the economic trends in our companies' markets for the next half year. This could lead to the value development of MBB's existing portfolio slowing down with respect to previous years. At the same time, however, conditions for purchasing new holdings are improving, because the number of companies being offered for sale is on the increase and their sale prices are falling. MBB's equity capital resources and cash position present good opportunities for continued growth through acquisition.
Earnings, Assets, and Financial Situation
The first half of the financial year was characterized by the financial and economic crisis. This affects the portfolio companies in different ways. This said, we report as follows:
Thanks to the solid base inherited from the financial year 2008, the asset and financial situations continue to be positive. For a comparison of the figures please keep in mind that the Reimelt-Henschel-Group was deconsolidated with effect from May 31, 2009.
The MBB Group decreased its consolidated turnover for the first half of the year by 20.0% to €75.3m compared with the corresponding period of the previous year (€94.1m). Operating output for the same period decreased only from €97.4m in the first half of 2008 compared to €82.9m in 2009, a drop of 14.9%. This was the result of the increase in stock of finished goods and work in progress of $E2.0m$ (in 2008; decrease in stock of finished goods and work in progress of $E(0.7m)$ and the income from the final consolidation of the Reimelt-Henschel-Group to the amount of $\epsilon$ 3.0m. The other operative earnings of $\epsilon$ 2.6m decreased compared to the previous year ( $\epsilon$ 3.5m) and stem from other services, revenue from exchange rate differences, and the reverse of provisions.
Material costs increased relative to operating output from 55.1% to 56.3%. This was triggered by the changes to the group's real net output ratio resulting from the takeover of the DTS Company at the end of June 2008.
The EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) attained a level of $6.9m$ ( $6.5m$ in the same period last year), representing a decrease compared to the equivalent period in the previous year. At the same time, the EBITDA margin fell from 10.1% to 7.8%, caused by the current economic situation and the changed composition of the holding portfolio. The EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of the MBB Group reached $\epsilon$ 3.4m for the half year period just ended ( $\epsilon$ 6.9m in the equivalent period of the previous year). Taking into account the financial result of minus €0.8m, EBT (earnings before tax) is at €2.6m (€6.1m in the equivalent period of the previous year). This puts it at 3.5% of sales revenue (6.5% in the equivalent period of the previous year).
Consolidated profit after minoirty interest of €0.1m reached €2.3m, which is rather small compared with the profit for the first half year of 2008 (€4.6m). The consolidated interim financial statements of June 30, 2009 show an equity capital of €55.1m (€54.3m on December 31, 2008). Oriented to the consolidated balance sheet total of €104.5m, the MBB Group has a capital ratio of 52.7% (38.8% on December 31, 2008).
On June 30, 2009, the MBB Group shows liabilities to banks of €23.2m (€26.1m on December 31, 2008) and cash and cash equivalents and short-term securities of €38.6m (€25.1m on December 31, 2008). This puts the MBB Group's balance from the above liabilities and cash positions (net debt) at €15.4m, which is an improvement of €16,4m against December 31, 2008.
Development of the Segment
The following business segments will be considered:
- Technical Applications
- Industrial Production
- Trading & Services
In comparison with the previous year, revenues fall strongly in the Technical Applications segment. This decrease is attributable to the declining sales of Delignit and the final consolidation of the Reimelt-Henschel-Group on May 31, 2009. Turnover for the Technical Applications segment was $\epsilon$ 46.2m for the first half year of 2009, with an EBIT of $\epsilon$ 3.3m (€4.7m in the equivalent period of the previous year).
The Industrial Production segment shows a decline in revenues. Turnover for the Industrial Production segment was €12.1m for the first half vear of 2009 (€14.0m in the equivalent period of the previous year). EBIT of €1.0m has decreased compared to the equivalent period of the previous year $(€1.3m)$ .
The significant increase in turnover in the Trading & Services segment amount to €17.m (€9.4m in the equivalent period of the previous year) is due to the fact, that DTS Systeme has strengthened this segment since June 2008. The EBIT of this segment has also increased amounting to €0.8m in the first half vear of 2009, and thereby exceeding last year's amount of €0.2m.
Employees
At 1.176, the number of employees in the MBB Group has declined compared to 1.864 on the previous year closing date – caused by the sale of Reimelt-Henschel-Group. Adjusted to take account of this, the number of employees in our holdings has declined by about 120, which is due to capacity adjustments in the Delignit Group.
Chances and Risks Report
The chances and risks with respect to business developments for the MBB Group are described in the group management report for the year 2008, available from our website. There have been no appreciable changes to the chances and risks discussed therein since December 31, 2008. The risk management system of MBB Industries AG allows the early recognition of these risks and the immediate adoption of measures.
Supplementary Report
No events of significance have taken place since the end of the reporting period.
Forecast Report
After the disposal of the Reimelt-Henschel-Group, MBB Industries has five holdings. Annual sales will be – regardless of further acquisitions – amount to approx. $\epsilon$ 120m in 2009. MBB will again generate a sustainably positive annual result for 2009.
