---------------------------------------------------------------------

Frankfurt am Main, 30 March 2012 - Heliad Equity Partners (ISIN:
DE000A0L1NN5) has today published its definitive results for the 2011
financial year. The company generated consolidated sales (IFRS) of EUR 41.7
million from continuing operations in 2011 (previous year: EUR 51.4
million). At EUR 4.6 million, operating earnings (EBITDA) were positive
(previous year: EUR 7.1 million). Net result for period significantly
improved to EUR 4.3 million (previous year: EUR -24.8 million). In the
previous year, discontinued operations had negatively affected net income 
while the effect was positive this year. Net income of EUR -9.8 million was
reported for continuing operations (previous year: EUR 9.7 million). This
figure was negatively affected in particular by devaluation of listed
investments to account for the negative performance on the capital markets
in the second half of 2011.

With total assets of EUR 83.5 million (previous year: EUR 131.1 million),
the consolidated balance sheet showed a significantly higher equity ratio
of 66 % (previous year: 39 %). Following successful disposals in 2011, cash
and cash equivalents less financial liabilities increased to EUR 34.4
million in 2011 (previous year: EUR 30.7 million). The net asset value per
share amounted to EUR 5.31 as of 31.12.2011 (previous year: EUR 5.62).

Following numerous disposals in the year 2011 and the completion of the
portfolio streamlining, Heliad aims to make an increasing number of new
investments in the 2012 financial year. Further selective sales of
investments are also planned. The company's management believes that Heliad
is well positioned to generate positive consolidated net income in the year
2012 and to secure the company's successful long-term development by making
new investments.

The Annual Report will be published today in the Investor Relations section
of Heliad's website at www.heliad.com.

The company's Annual General Meeting is expected to be held in Frankfurt am
Main on 3 July 2012.
