January 2007. During the financial year 2006 the computer manufacturer MAXDATA AG (ISIN: DE0006581309; German securities code [WKN]: 658 130) suffered under the persistent weakness of the market for hardware products along with the entire sector. Particularly the sharp drop in demand for computer systems and the continuing fall in prices lead to a turnover of EUR 153.5 million for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2006 (after EUR 198.5 million for the same period in the previous year). Turnover for the full year of 2006 was EUR 524.8 million (compared with 657.4 million for 2005). The business trend in flat screens of the Belinea brand continued to develop positively, and server sales were stable. The operating result (EBIT) for the fourth quarter 2006 was minus EUR 7.4 million and for the full year 2006 minus EUR 42.8 million. The equity ratio was 38 percent.
