"After an extremely successful year in 2005/2006, financial 2006/2007
also got off to a very positive start. At EUR 2.8 million,
consolidated sales from the beginning of May to the end of July 2006
were stable in the period-to-period comparison (2005/2006: EUR 2.8
million). The result from ordinary activities improved from minus
TEUR 595.0 in the previous year to minus TEUR 503.8 in the first
quarter of 2006/2007," says feratel’s CEO Markus Schröcksnadel. The
operating result (EBIT) also improved - from minus TEUR 638.9
(2005/2006) to minus TEUR 563.9 (2006/2007). Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) came to minus
TEUR 184.0 after minus TEUR 209.3 in the previous year.

"The results for the first and second quarters are negative as
budgeted. That is due to the fact that the sales focus in the
Telecommunications Division is on the second half of the financial
year, while overheads are distributed equally over the full
twelve-month period. As in previous years, a positive result is
accordingly anticipated for the third and fourth quarters of
2006/2007. In the 2005/2006 business year, the result from ordinary
activities of TEUR 686.4 was achieved from sales totaling EUR 16.7
million," Schröcksnadel continues.

New customers and content partners In Switzerland, the Basle Tourist
Office was recruited as a new customer for feratel’s webcams. The
camera provides panoramic views of the River Rhine at Basle for
transmission on SFDRS. The number of partner platforms that integrate
feratel’s webcams continued to grow in the first quarter of
2006/2007. An agreement was signed with www.wetteronline.de, Europe’s
biggest Internet weather services provider. feratel webcams are now
also to be found at www.readyfornature.at, the website of an online
community for nature lovers. feratel’s efforts to make its webcams
available to as many content partners as possible are now paying off.
Although the summer is normally the weaker season, a total of 7.5
million page impressions was recorded in May, June and July, an
increase of 2.5 million over the same period of the previous year. In
addition to the medium of television, that gives feratel’s customers
an additional significant presentation and marketing platform.

Winterberg, the best known winter sport and walking resort in the
German Sauerland region, has chosen the Deskline? destination
management system. In Switzerland, Lenzerheide and the Chur municipal
and regional authority have also joined the feratel customer base.
Following the signing of an agreement with Immobilienscout24,
Germany’s biggest online holiday home directory, about 10,000 holiday
homes from feratel’s Eurosoft? database have been added to the
listings at www.immobilienscout.de.

In the field of information kiosks, too, feratel was very busy in the
first quarter of 2006/2007, with six kiosks delivered to destinations
in Italy alone. In addition, one information kiosk went to Slovakia,
one to Bulgaria, and three to tourism associations in Austria.

Outlook Following a record tourism year in 2005, initial figures for
2006 are indicative of another year of respectable growth. For the
European destinations the figures show an increase of 2.5 %, with
Switzerland (9 %) and Germany (6 %) turning in the best performance
in western Europe.

According to all the predictions, the positive mood in the economy in
general and the tourism industry in particular can be expected to
continue, with a consequent rise in the levels of capital spending on
the tourism infrastructure. feratel’s year-end goal for financial
2006/2007 is further growth in terms of sales and results.
