Karlsruhe/Germany, October 19, 2006. ComBOTS AG (FSE: CMBT) today
announced its third quarter and nine-month results for fiscal year 2006.
The third quarter of ComBOTS AG was characterized by the premiere of its
new personal digital communication service on July 13th and the release of
the Public Beta version on September 1st, marking the two important
milestones of the product development roadmap. The Public Beta phase will
be used to work with users to enhance the innovative service. Also in Q3,
the company completed its high performance data center, network and server
infrastructure, now all ready for future growth. Furthermore, the company
signed the first contracts with global licence providers like New Line
Cinema, Paws and United Media for inclusion of characters from ‘The Lord of
the Rings’, ‘Garfield’ and ‘Peanuts’ in the ComBOTS Shop.
As of September 30, 2006, the financial basis of ComBOTS AG amounts to
432.5 million Euro in liquid assets. Due to intensive investments into the
product, infrastructure and organization, the company reports a net loss of
26.4 million Euro for the first nine months of fiscal year 2006. In the
same period, the market value of ComBOTS’ shareholdings in United
Internet AG increased by 63 million Euro. See the table below for further
details on the key financial figures for Q3 and the first nine months of
fiscal year 2006.
In the upcoming quarter, the management expects a decreasing cost base
after increased levels in Q2 and Q3 due to preparation of the product
launch in Q3. Furthermore, the company foresees reduced investments in the
upcoming quarter since the core infrastructure has been completed in Q3.
