November 30, 2007: At Leonardo Venture GmbH &
Co. KGaA, the third quarter of 2007 was a quarter of growth: The 
Company enlarged its portfolio, wrote its Public Offering Prospectus 
and prepared for its capital increase pushing its shareholders´ 
equity by EUR 17 million to roughly EUR 45 million. The portfolio 
companies also reported positive operating developments. In line with
the expectations, the annual deficit as of 30 September amounted to 
around EUR 1.1 million after EUR 2.0 million in the reference period 
2006.
"In the third quarter 2007, we concentrated above all on our 
medium-term growth," explains Prof. Udo Wupperfeld, Managing Director
of Leonardo Venture. "The preparations for our meanwhile completed 
capital increase and the associated segment switch went according to 
plan. And with Weise Water Systems GmbH we were able to enter into a 
very promising participation." As a result of Leonardo Venture´s 
investments, the participation volume rose to some EUR 22.6 million. 
At the end of the fiscal year 2006, it had been EUR 19.7 million.
The deal flow rose to 430 enquiries, which was almost twice as much 
the value of the entire previous year. "We have built up a promising 
pipeline of interesting companies. With these companies we will take 
the next steps in the investment process after the successful capital
increase", added Prof. Hans-Georg Köglmayr, also a Managing Director
