4 July 2008 - With the conclusion of an
agreement with Panda Security, asknet AG succeeded in enlisting a 
leading provider of anti-malware solutions. PANDA supplies one of the
most popular anti-virus software packages for private and business 
customers with more than 2.5 million customers worldwide. By entering
the partnership with asknet, PANDA aims at further stepping up its 
online business. "Both its technological competence and its worldwide
network of partners convinced us of the capability of asknet AG," 
says Juan Santana, CEO of Panda Security.
As from now, the German company Lexware GmbH & CO. KG offers part of 
its product range as digital downloads via the asknet shop solution. 
"Up to now, our software has been marketed purely in the form of 
boxed products. For our venture into the electronic software market, 
we chose a competent and experienced partner in asknet," says Markus 
Griesbaum, senior project manager with Haufe.
H+H Software GmbH again opted for an online shop operated by asknet 
for marketing its new product Phantom Drive. H+H Software GmbH, which
supplies what is probably the best known and most successful CD 
emulator called Virtual CD, presents the Phantom Drive, the world´s 
first virtual HD writer. Starting now, the product will be available 
for download in the regions of North America, Europe, Middle East and
Africa via the Phantom Drive Gold Shop operated by asknet AG. "Past 
positive experience with asknet AG in marketing our `Virtual CD´ 
product persuaded us to extend our partnership with asknet to include
a second online shop," says Alexander Vierschrodt, Product Manager 
with H+H Software GmbH.
The cooperation with PANDA confirms the dynamic growth of the asknet 
Group particularly as regards further development in 2009. For 2008, 
the pronounced economic slow-down in the US and the constrictive 
revaluation of the euro against the dollar negatively impact the 
development of earnings in the asknet Group. Major acquisition 
projects in the first half of the year were delayed. Overall, 
therefore, the company expects growth in 2008 to be weaker than in 
the previous year.
Optimization measures on the structural cost side have already been 
implemented in order to adjust the use of resources to the 
temporarily lower growth. This causes one-off costs of app. EUR 
250,000 in 2008. In 2009 the measures will lead to cost savings of 
app. EUR 500,000. "The asknet Group operates in a market and 
competitive environment where above-average growth rates can be 
achieved. Combined with the moderate cost side measures, the 
scalability of the business model will again be confirmed in future,"
says Gerald Prior, CEO of asknet AG.
