Baader Wertpapierhandelsbank AG:

preliminary consolidated net profit for 2006 in accordance with IFRSs

Unterschleissheim (Germany), 20 February 2008

Baader Wertpapierhandelsbank AG raised its profit from ordinary activities
in fiscal year 2007 by 38.0% to EUR 35.2 million (previous year: EUR 25.5
million).

Overall, Baader Wertpapierhandelsbank AG generated profit after taxes of
EUR 29.0 million (previous year: EUR 30.6 million). This corresponds to
profit per share of EUR 0.64 (previous year: EUR 0.67).

The lower post-tax profit in 2007 can be explained by the Gesetz über
steuerliche Begleitmaßnahmen zur Einführung der Europäischen Gesellschaft
und zur Änderung weiterer steuerlicher Vorschriften (SEStEG – German Act on
the Tax Features for the Introduction of the European Company and Amendment
of Other Tax Rules). This replaces the previous system of reducing
corporate income tax through payment of corporate income tax credit in
instalments. This led to recognition of the cash value of the corporate
income tax credit in the amount of EUR 11.6 million as an asset and thus
led to a positive tax result in 2006.

At the end of last year, equity amounted to EUR 165.4 million (previous
year: EUR 152,6 million). As of the reporting date, the Group had 298
employees (previous year: 266 employees) and the number of order books
managed climbed from 120,579 or 71% to 206,428.<pre>
