The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++ Financial statements for third quarter 2008 published ++ Positive preservation of capital and stable NAV despite financial market crisis ++ NAV of EUR 0.97 per share as of September 30, 2008 In the third quarter of 2008, TIG Themis Industries Group (ISIN: DE0007857575) reported a negative result from ordinary activities in the amount of minus EUR 2.5 million (previous quarter: minus EUR 2.6 million). Balance sheet value of shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2008 equalled EUR 50.2 million (previous quarter: EUR 52.7 million), thereby clearly continuing to exceed the market capitalisation of EUR 23 million as of the reporting date. As of the quarter's end, Themis had an equity ratio of 91% (previous quarter: 95%). On the other side of the balance sheet, current assets as of September 30, 2008 came to EUR 10.3 million (previous quarter: EUR 6.1 million). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to more than EUR 6.6 million (previous quarter: EUR 1.5 million). In the third quarter, the capital calls associated with fund investments came to EUR 4.13 million. The same time period saw return cash flows to Themis from the invested funds in the amount of EUR 4.01 million. Themis' net asset value (NAV) as of September 30, 2008, stood at EUR 0.97 and was only one cent below the level of the prior quarter, despite the movements in the market price of the Company's exchange-listed fund holdings. The share price was quoted at a 63% discount to NAV as of the reporting date. Christoph D. Kauter, Themis' Chief Executive Officer: 'By prospectively marking down its fund shares at the half-year point, Themis has already made allowance for the movements in the market prices of its portfolio holdings expected as a result of the financial crisis. In the third quarter, this has proven to be valuable and far-sighted, and additional write-downs in the amount of EUR 4 million were in line with expectations. In sum, the investment portfolio turned in a satisfactory performance against the backdrop of current market conditions. The capital calls associated with the fund investments were offset by investment distributions, such that there was a positive preservation of capital and a stable NAV.' Since the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on September 4, 2008, the Company's new positioning has pressed forward in a purposeful manner. Hence, as of the end of October, as part of an adjustment of the portfolio to clean out non-strategic holdings, there was a successful sale of one fund. The Company will continue to pursue further portfolio optimisation and initial investment possibilities in the coming months.
