Munich, July 25, 2007 – The Munich based fashion company LUDWIG BECK (ISIN
DE 0005199905) has clearly improved its annual net loss after minority
interests in the first half of 2007 by € 0.3m, taking the level from €
-0.8m to € -0.5m. In accordance with a positive prognosis of the business
activities of the company, the board of management now expects the 2007
annual net profit after minority interests to amount to € 2.5m (previous
prognosis: € 1.5m). € 0.8m comes from a one off positive effect from a
re-evaluation of deferred taxes, resulting from the business tax reform
approved by the German Federal Council on the July 6, 2007.

For 2008 the board of directors now expects an annual net profit after
minority interests amounting to € 2.5m (previous prognosis: > €
2.0m).
