The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this
announcement.
- Increase of 250 percent in gambling stakes handled 
   - 100,000 jaxx.de customers on 31.03.2000 
   - B2B sector in partnership with debis and Deutsche Telekom
fluxx.com Aktiengesellschaft (securities identification number 576
350), of Kiel , today publishes its report on the first quarter of
2000. Growth in Germany's l eading e-gambling platform jaxx.de and
the positive development in orders in the B2B segment have prompted a
rise in sales for the first quarter of 2000 (compar ed with the
corresponding prior-year period) of over 150 percent, from DM 2.367
million (EUR 1.210 million) to DM 5.956 million (EUR 3.045 million).
This figure includes betting stakes totalling DM 0.381 million (EUR
0.195 million) recorded by the Internet bookmaker Interjockey.com,
which was acquired in February.
Together with jaxx.de, fluxx.com's gambling segment thus handled
gambling stakes and bets totalling DM 4.465 million (EUR 2.283
million) in the first three mont hs of the year; due to accounting
regulations, this sum cannot be included in full in the
first-quarter figures. Compared with the first quarter of 1999, when
s ales totalled DM 1.294 million (EUR 0.662 million), the total
volume of stakes h andled therefore rose by almost 250 percent. The
betting stakes for Interjockey. com and the agency commissions and
handling fees charged by jaxx.de are shown in the commercial accounts
of the fluxx.com Group.
jaxx.de's activities in the first quarter once again focused on
attracting new c ustomers through marketing and sales measures; these
activities also made a subs tantial contribution to the EBIT of DM
-5.372 million (EUR -2.746 million), as a gainst DM -2.039 million
(EUR -1.042 million) for the first quarter of 1999. Following
capitalisation of taxes on income, there consequently remains a
consol idated net loss for the period (according to IAS) of DM -2.685
million (EUR -1.3 73 million), compared with DM -1.141 million (EUR
-0.583 million) in the priory ear period.
The rise in the number of employees slowed down slightly in the
first quarter, a s expected; on March 31, fluxx.com employed 155
people. The total at the end of last year was 140. New employees have
been recruited in particular for software development, product
management and marketing/sales activities. The number of people
participating in jaxx.de has risen particularly sharply; th ere were
100,000 registered customers on 31.03.2000, compared with 35,000 on
the corresponding date last year, representing a growth rate of 180
percent. The ra te of growth is thus even faster than for 1999 as a
whole (162%).
In the business-to-business sector too, fluxx.com is increasingly
being given pr eference by major consortiums as an Internet marketing
specialist for the develo pment and marketing of comprehensive
e-commerce solutions. In the first quarter of the year, fluxx.com
established two significant alliances: it will in future be realising
a number of e-commerce and online marketing projects together with
debis Systemhaus Internet Business Solutions (IBS) and Deutsche
Telekom. The full report on the first quarter of 2000 will be
published today on the Inte rnet addresses www.neuermarkt.de and
www.fluxx.com.
