bmp AG: bmp ends first six months of 2009 with a loss

Berlin, 20 August 2009

With a minimal turnover of EUR 56 thousand (previous year: EUR 1.9
million), bmp AG (ISIN DE0003304200) ended the first six months of 2009
with a consolidated net loss of EUR 2.3 million compared with a
consolidated net profit of EUR 2.3 million in the same period of previous
year.

Negative earnings development also continued in the second quarter of 2009,
resulting primarily from further price losses of listed investments and a
few write-downs in the other investment portfolio. bmp AG refrained from
sales of investments in the current market environment. Despite this, the
majority of investments continued to exhibit dynamic growth, strengthening
the asset value of the portfolio.

As at 30 June 2009, marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents
amounted to EUR 5.6 million (previous year: EUR 13.0 million).

In the period ended 30 June 2009, Assets under Management (AUM) in the
Direct Investments and Private Equity Advisory business segments stood at
EUR 86.1 million (previous year: EUR 80.3 million).

It is likely to remain difficult to sell holding companies under suitable
terms in the next few months. For this reason, it is to be assumed in all
probability that bmp will close the business year 2009 with a loss.

The consolidated financial report for the first six months of 2009 will be
published at www.bmp.com on 28 August 2009.
