The new Board of Directors, which is independent of Meinl Bank, has 
been in charge since the middle of November 2008. In 2008, the fund 
generated revenue from its subsidiaries amounting to EUR 5.7 million 
(2007: EUR 10,000), as well as interest income on bank deposits and 
securities as well as interest income on loans granted to the 
Company´s own subsidiaries. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
were clearly negative, amounting to minus EUR 33.6 million (2007: EUR
+ 2.8 million). The financial result improved from EUR 9.8 million in
2007 to EUR 17.1 million in 2008. The net result for the year was 
decidedly negative, at minus EUR 35.5 million (2007: + EUR 2.8 
million). Other operating expenses, almost exclusively initiated by 
the former Board of Directors, rose by 419% to EUR 36.3 million 
(2007: EUR 7.0 million). The most significant items included fees 
paid to the external manager Meinl Power Management Limited (MPM) 
amounting to EUR 8.0 million (2007: EUR 3.3 million) as well as 
consulting services totalling EUR 7.7 million. The organisation of 
the general meetings held in 2008 alone resulted in expenses of EUR 
4.9 million. Various fees paid directly to Meinl Bank AG in the 2008 
financial year totalled EUR 3.5 million, encompassing the "market 
maker fee" and the "licensing fee" for the use of the Meinl brand 
name and logo. Total assets rose from EUR 565.9 million in 2007 to 
EUR 646.5 million in 2008. At the close of 2008, cash and cash 
equivalents equalled EUR 394.3 million* (December 31, 2007: EUR 511.4
million).
