Ad hoc announcement §15 WpHG provisional figures bmp AG: Provisional figures for the financial year 2004 Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. —————————————————————————— Berlin, 23 February 2005 bmp closed the financial year 2004 with turnover of EUR 0.7 million and consolidated losses of EUR 1.1 million, after generating consolidated profits of EUR 2.2 million the year before. Following adjustments for special costs relating to capital increases, bmp achieved consolidated profits EUR 0.1 million. Liquidity increased significantly to EUR 10.1 million as at 31 December 2004 compared to the end of 2003 (EUR 2.9 million). Net asset value (NAV) continued to develop positively and was EUR 1.82/share at the end of the year. Most of bmp’s holdings are in the expansion phase and are operating profitably. The average growth in turnover of all active holdings was around 40% in 2004, and we are expecting similarly strong growth for 2005. As the venture capital market grew again for the first time since the year 2000 in 2004, we are counting on a considerable increase in transaction activity (investment acquisitions/exists) at bmp for 2005.
