Profit increase compared to 2004 - Board of Management proposes
unchanged dividend distribution for 2005 - Expansion of investment
portfolio

Vienna, 11.4.2006 - For Unternehmens Invest AG (UIAG), a company
listed in the prime market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, the fiscal
year 2005 ended with a profit on ordinary activities of EUR 205 t
(2004: EUR 171 t). Based on the profit for the year, which was EUR
3.6 m (after EUR 5.4 m), the Board of Management will propose to the
Annual General Meeting a dividend distribution unchanged to the prior
year in the amount of EUR 0.44 per share for the fiscal year 2005.
Current assets increased from EUR 21.9 m to EUR 25.4 m. Liquid funds
amounted to EUR 15.1 m at the balance sheet date (after EUR 18.5 m at
the end of 2004), which are available for the expansion of the
investment portfolio of UIAG.

The year 2005 is marked by UIAG’s investment in EFKON AG, a global
leader providing fully automatic toll collection systems, the
successful sale of the shares in Wiener Börse AG and Preh GmbH, an
automotive component supplier, as well as the exit from ET Multimedia
AG. The companies of our existing investment portfolio, in particular
Austria’s leading office furniture manufacturer, BENE AG, developed
very favourably.

An expansion of the investment portfolio of UIAG is planned for the
current business year. Only recently, UIAG announced that an
agreement was signed for an investment in FUTURELAB Holding GmbH, the
leading Austrian laboratory group providing medical diagnostic
services, with subsidiaries in Eastern and Western Europe. Apart from
the founders, the insurance company Wiener Städtische Allgemeine
Versicherung AG also holds one third of the shares in this company.
In addition, several attractive investment projects are currently
being analysed.

The shareholder structure of UIAG is as follows: Cross Industries AG
25.8%, 3 Banken Beteiligung GmbH and RZB Private Equity Holding 15.7%
each, BA-CA 13%. The free float of the company is 29.8% of the share
capital.

The annual financial statements of the company will be issued on
April 11, 2006 and will be available as of this date on the homepage
of UIAG: www.uiag.at.
