quarterly report/Company Information

Cologne (euro adhoc) - Publication of consolidated quarterly report
per September 30, 2009

- The operating profit of PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH shows a remarkable
increase to TEUR 800 - Consolidated operating results increased to
TEUR 2.925 as compared to TEUR 195 in 2008 - Liquidity increased 41%
as compared to December 31, 2008 - Successful implementation of
restructuring of financial obligations and capital - Earning per
share (EPS) EUR 0.62

The quarterly financial report as of September 30, 2009 indicates
that the november group, mainly consisting of the november AG
(holding company) and the operative business units PROGEN Biotechnik
GmbH and Multimetrix GmbH, could increase the operative results to
TEUR 3.003 (2008 TEUR -274), despite the slow market and economic
crisis. During the first nine months of 2009 considerably increased
consolidated results of TEUR 2.925 (2008 TEUR 195) were achieved.
Major reason for this is the very positive development of the
operating results of PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH with roughly TEUR 800,
the financial settlement and compensatory payment of AXIS-Shield GmbH
and the interest and loan waiver by the investors. Operating results
of PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH could have been even TEUR 200 higher if it
were not for liabilities resulting from an arbitration settlement in
a patent case. Consolidated sales revenues are slightly below last
year´s figures due to the fact that sales rights and products were
transferred by the subsidiary PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH to AXIS-Shield.
However, the extreme decrease in cost of materials justifies the
strategic decision to abandon this unprofitable business segment. The
liquidity of the november group at September 30, 2009 is a remarkable
TEUR 822, resulting from the purchase price for the sale of holdings
in the identif GmbH in the amount of TEUR 665 as well as the
compensatory payment of AXIS-Shield GmbH of TEUR 1.000. From this
compensation, another TEUR 200 will be received beginning of year
2010. As already reported in previous ad-hoc releases, considerable
progress was achieved in restructuring financial liabilities.
Particularly in cooperation with the major shareholders CAMKAN Invest
S.a.r.l. and alpha capital management GmbH, due to fixed interest and
loan waivers current liabilities were reduced from TEUR 8.702 in 2008
to TEUR 4.988, thereof TEUR 1.936 subordinated loan liabilities.

The above financial effects improve the group equity per September
30, 2009 to TEUR -2.729 (December 31, 2008 TEUR -5.654).

Overall, the restructuring and stabilization of the november group
has been successfully continued through the 3rd quarter of 2009.
Especially the very positive development of the operating results of
PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH confirm the activities of the Management Board
to focus on operative growth of the remaining companies of the
november group.

In total, the above results in an earning per share (EPS) in the
amount of EUR 0.62.

November 11, 2009 the relocation of company headquarters to Cologne
was recorded in the Company Registry.

The complete consolidated quarterly report per September 30, 2009 is
