The annual financial statements 2005 of Pongs & Zahn AG, Berlin, have
been ascertained and approved today.

In the business year 2005 the company realised sales revenue
amounting to EUR 50.5 mill. and thus more than quintupled the
reference value of the previous year (previous year: EUR 10.0 mill.).
This income is comprised almost entirely of trading transactions with
plastics raw materials and related industrial products executed by
Pongs & Zahn on its own behalf and for its own account. This
development is the result of the continuous expansion of its trading
business with major international customers that had already begun at
the end of 2004 and which was carried forward during the year under
review. The total output of Pongs & Zahn AG, consisting of sales
income and other operating income, came to EUR 52.7 million during
the year under review (2005: EUR 10.7 million).

We report a net profit for the year 2005 of EUR 0.8 mill. (previous
year: net loss for the year EUR -0.5 mill.). The company’s equity of
EUR 51.6 mill. as of December 31 of the financial year 2005 has risen
compared with the previous year (2005: EUR 46.2 mill.). In the view
of an increase of the balance sheet total by EUR 9.7 mill., the
equity ratio has been again slightly reduced to 72% (previous year:
75.1 %).

The CEO will propose to the annual general meeting to carry forward
the net profit totalling EUR 4.174 mill. (previous year: EUR 3.419
mill.) to new account.
