finances/First Quarter Results 2008

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 6 May 2008 - MPC Münchmeyer
Petersen Capital AG, the SDAX-listed wealth and asset manager,
generated sales revenues of EUR 29.0 million in the first quarter
of 2008 and started into fiscal 2008 with a 30% decline from the
previous year's EUR 41.6 million. This development is largely
attributable to the fact that the availability of products at the
beginning of the year was lower than last year. At EUR 3.6
million, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were down 60%
on the previous year's EUR 9.1 million. Consolidated net income
after shares of other shareholders declined by 70% from EUR 7.7
million to EUR 2.3 million, which represents earnings per share of
EUR 0.22 (2007: EUR 0.72).

As of the balance sheet date, the Group's total assets amounted to
EUR 303.0 million (31 Dec. 2007: EUR 306.4 million). The equity
ratio stood at 35.3% (31

Dec. 2007: 39.1%). The balance sheet showed EUR 106.5 million in equity (31
Dec. 2007: EUR 119.7 million).

Key figures of the first quarter of 2008:
|In TEUR |31 Mar 2008|31 Mar 2007|+/- |
|Sales |29,003 |41,595 |- 30% |
|EBIT |3,590 |9,079 |- 60% |
|Consolidated net income after |2,261 |7,683 |- 70% |
|other shareholders | | | |
|Earnings per share in EUR |0.22 |0.72 |- 70% |
|Employees |323 |293 |+ 10% |

The Management Board confirmed that it expects a placement volume of
EUR 1,100 million (2007: EUR 1,062 million) and net income of EUR
50.0 million (2007: EUR 38.6 million) in the current fiscal year.

Dr. Axel Schroeder, Board Chairman of MPC Capital AG: "The start
into fiscal 2008 illustrated once more that the availability of
products has a decisive influence on MPC Capital's quarterly
result. The delayed start of placement of new product developments
as well as the limited availability of products, especially of
ship investments, resulted in a lower placement volume than last
year. The contracted and developed product portfolio in the
established business segments as well as the start of placement
of the new investment concepts suggest that the placement volume
will increase significantly in the course of the year. We are
therefore able to confirm our forecast for fiscal 2008 today."

At EUR 123 million, equity placed in the first three months of 2008
was down 46% on the previous year's EUR 228 million and was
especially influenced by the large supply of ship investments.
