St. Helier, Jersey (euro adhoc) - Jersey, April 7, 2008: Meinl
International Power has announced its first consolidated annual
results, for the year ending 31 December 2007.

The consolidated financial statements of the group, which was
established in June 2007 and had an IPO on the Vienna Stock
Exchange´s unregulated Third Market in August 2007, reflect the sound
performance of the young start-up company, which is investing in
conventional and renewable energy assets across Europe.

Net Profit EUR 2.81m Net Profit for the year ended 31 Dec 2007 was
reported at EUR 2.81m, with a financial result of EUR 9.84m and
operating expenses at EUR 7.03m. Retained earnings carried forward
were recorded at EUR 3.28m.

Total Assets EUR 565.9m Consolidated Total Assets of EUR 565.9m at
year end 31 Dec 2007 are predominately composed of EUR 511.91m
current assets, of which EUR 405.78m were commercial paper notes
issued by AA-rated European banks and EUR 105.66m cash and bank
balance. Non-current assets of EUR 54.03m comprise mainly energy
assets, representing investments in three turn-key and development
projects signed during the second half of 2007 in Hungary, Slovakia
and Germany.

Total Shareholder´s Equity of EUR 543.50m for the financial year
ended 31 Dec 2007 provides the group with a solid basis for the
projected growth path during 2008.

Remarkable results within a short period of time Hans Haider,
chairman of the company is optimistic that the group will perform to
investor´s expectations: "Within a remarkable short start-up period,
Meinl International Power has established itself as a financial
investor in the European energy market. Carefully selecting
individual transactions with reliable partners, avoiding expensive
bidding auctions, and professional execution gives a leading edge in
a dynamic market, offering investors an attractive springboard."

Meinl International Power´s management anticipates that the current
financial year will see an accelerated pace of investments, as
evidenced already in transactions pursued in the first quarter of
2008 in the Spanish photovoltaic and Eastern European energy market.

The financial statements, on which an unqualified auditor´s report
was issued by KPMG Austria GmbH, are available as a download on the
company´s webpage www.meinlpower.com. The company will issue its
annual report before the annual general meeting scheduled for 14 May
2008, to be held in Vienna.
