Impera Total Return AG releases preliminary figures for 2009

• Gross Earnings below last year
  
• NAV per share at EUR 1.90

Frankfurt, 21 April 2010 – Impera Total Return AG realized an operative loss of EUR 777.8k compared to a loss of EUR 1,628.5k previous year. The net loss decreased about 52% from EUR 1,628.5k last year to EUR 777.3k in 2009. Retained earnings are about EUR 915.7k (1,694.1 last year).

The reason for the reduced loss was less depreciation of financial assets. Even though new write-offs on some portfolio companies were necessary, this position decreased from EUR 2,937.5k to 887.1k. Due to very limited buy activities by investors in the overall market, Impera could not realize any significant exits. Thus, revenues decreased from EUR 2,081.5k to EUR 1,063.0k.

After a successful placement of 960,000 new shares, the nominal share capital increased to 5.76m. Equity increased from EUR 8,520.3 to EUR 8,798.0k. Based on total assets of EUR 9,071.7k, the equity ratio is 97% compared to 98.2% in 2008. The Net Asset Value (NAV) per share amounts to EUR 1.90.

After a series of volatile years, Impera Total Return AG gives a slightly optimistic outlook for 2010. The company sees its growth opportunities mainly in the increasing IPO opportunities and in Venture Capital. Regarding the overall still unstable economic situation, no definite guidelines for revenues and results may be given.
