"The third quarter of 2007/2008 is by far the most successful quarter
ever in the history of feratel", says CEO Markus Schröcksnadel in the
light of the latest figures announced for the current financial year.

Total sales were up by 79 percent to EUR 11.9 million in the third 
quarter of 2007/2008 after EUR 6.7 million in the third quarter of 
2006/2007. This increase also had a positive impact on profitability:
The operating result (EBIT) was EUR 1.9 million compared with EUR 1.5
million, an increase of 26 percent in the period-to-period 
comparison. An improvement is also reported for the result from 
ordinary activities (EBT), from EUR 1.6 million to EUR 1.9 million. 
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization 
(EBITDA) stood at EUR 3.3 million compared with EUR 1.9 million.

Consolidated sales for the first nine months at feratel media 
technologies AG rose 65 percent to EUR 20.7 million after EUR 12.6 
million. This increase is mainly a result of consolidation of the 
Sitour companies acquired in the previous year in Austria, Italy, the
Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as the growth in sales reported 
for the previously affiliated companies. At EUR 3.1 million compared 
with EUR 1.6 million, EBITDA almost doubled. A big increase over the 
previous year is reported for operating cash flow, which stood at EUR
4.3 million (EUR 2.8 million) after the first nine months. EBT came 
to minus TEUR 312.0 compared with TEUR 528.3, and the operating 
result to minus TEUR 145.8 after TEUR 396.1.

Trading at feratel technologies AG has always had a seasonal bias, 
with sales in the Telecommunications Division concentrated in the 
second half of the financial year, while overheads are distributed 
equally over the full twelve- month period. This seasonal effect is 
additionally reinforced by the newly consolidated Sitour companies, 
whose business activities also have a seasonal focus.

"In view of the extremely positive developments in the third quarter,
we are convinced that the sales and earnings targeted for financial 
2007/2008 by year end in April are realistic. We are expecting 
further improvements in the results with sales totaling some EUR 30 
million," says Markus Schröcksnadel. By way of comparison, last 
year's EBT was TEUR 1,136.0 for a sales total of EUR 20.8 million.

Pioneer role in e-tourism

Highly dynamic developments in the field of information and 
communications technologies (ICT) are opening up new potential for 
businesses in the tourism industry. The combination of know-how, 
customized solutions and a strong customer focus, plus quality and 
flexibility have helped feratel media technologies AG achieve global 
recognition as a leading international developer and provider of 
tourism information systems and innovative advertising platforms. 
"With the new Deskline( ExpertClient, which we recently presented at 
the ITB International Tourism Fair in Berlin, feratel is once more 
leading the way into the future of electronic destination management.
The software comes with an attractive design and above all is highly 
flexible. The resulting improvement in terms of workflow guarantees a
customized information and reservation system for tourism 
organization operations at the highest level," says Markus 
Schröcksnadel.
