CFC Industriebeteiligungen presents interim report on the first quarter
2008

  - Restructuring of acquisitions 2007 right on schedule 

  - EBITDA from operations at EUR 2.4 million distinctly positive

Dortmund, May 30, 2008

CFC Industriebeteiligungen GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Dortmund,
generated a distinctly positive result from operations in the first quarter
of the fiscal year 2008. Group sales increased to more than EUR 41.9
million. The operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) according to IFRS climbed to EUR 2.4 million. The CFC
Group thus managed in the first quarter to generate an EBITDA margin of
roughly 5.65 % of sales. The group result (after taxes, including
minorities) came to kEUR 304. As CFC focused on restructuring the four
holdings acquired in the year 2007 and made no new business acquisitions in
the first quarter, the result does not include one-time effects from the
capital consolidation of negative differences ('bargain purchases') but was
achieved in the property companies exclusively.

In early March CFC first obtained a limited license to the ladies’ apparel
trademark Hirsch. In early April this brand was acquired completely from
the insolvency assets of the company in liquidation, Hirsch AG.

The success of the restructuring efforts shows already in the first
quarter, against the backdrop of the scenario that the majority of holdings
have been acquired within the last twelve months as companies in need of
rescue. Mr. Marcus Linnepe, CEO of CFC Industriebeteiligungen, comments:
'The companies’ operating performances are very satisfying. We are making
good progress with the restructuring work. With respect to potential new
acquisitions, we continue to be very selective to develop the portfolio
purposefully. We are right on schedule for 2008.'
