EBITDA totalled TEUR 0. This cannot be compared with the previous year’s EBITDA of TEUR 6,393 when special effects (purchase of debt and transfer of provisions for pending losses) boosted profits by a good EUR 7.5 million. EBIT amounted to TEUR – 223; consolidated losses totalled TEUR 616 after consolidated profits of TEUR 5,548 in 2003, as expected by the Management Board. Liquidity was around EUR 2.41 million as at 30 June 2004, revealing a slight reduction of EUR 3.04 million on the same period of the previous year. Meanwhile, NAV rose by 40% to EUR 22.42 million in the same period. Overall, the investment portfolio developed positively, so bmp is confident that it can continue increasing the value of the portfolio. As before, the Management Board is anticipating sizeable consolidated profits for the year 2004 as a whole.
