Key Figures regarding New Value's Annual Result 2010/2011 (as of March 31,
2011)

Focus on Cleantech and Healthcare -
Growth funding in the amount of CHF 11.9 million

New Value AG (SIX: NEWN), the investment company specialized in promoting
young growth companies, focused its portfolio in the financial year
2010/2011, which ended March 31, 2011, on the two growth fields of
Cleantech and Healthcare. New Value participated in eight growth funding
transactions with existing portfolio companies and made one new investment
for a total investment of CHF 11.9 million. Of this, CHF 3.5 million were
allotted to the new investment Sensimed SA, a spin-off of the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) focusing on the development and
commercialization of integrated micro-systems for medical devices. By means
of a management buyout New Value sold its participation in FotoDesk Group -
the only portfolio company that did not fit into the new focus. New Value
recorded a loss of CHF 10.3 million in financial year 2010/2011.

The Net Asset Value (NAV) of New Value decreased to CHF 63.16 million
(previous year CHF 77.29 million). Accordingly, the NAV per share decreased
to CHF 21.01 from CHF 24.27 at the beginning of the period. This
corresponds to a decrease of 13.4%. Primarily as a result of the sale of
the FotoDesk Group investment and the associated write-offs of CHF 8.9
million, New Value recorded in total a loss of CHF 10.3 million in the
financial year 2010/2011 (previous year profit of CHF 10.0 million after
the disposal of the investment in Meyer Burger/3S). The loss per share
amounted to CHF 3.54.

New Value will publish its annual report 2010/2011 with detailed
information on year-end results on July 1, 2011. The General Meeting will
take place on August 17, 2011 on the grounds of the planned new production
plant for solar modules of Solar Industries AG in Langenthal.
