After an EBITDA of minus € 0.4 million (previous year € 1.5 million) in the first quarter 2008/2009 this represents an EBITDA result of minus € 0.5 million (previous year € 7.7 million) after six months, including extraordinary costs of € 2.3 million within the scope of the takeover by Sophos. Due to the uncertainty of the future economic development in the target markets Europe, USA and Japan, the company expects a slight decline in revenues for fiscal year 2008/2009 compared to previous year´s revenues of € 59.2 million.
