9-month report

26.10.2007

Karlsruhe, October 26, 2007. ComBOTS AG (ISIN: DE000CMBT111) today
published its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The
realignment decided at the end of September is on schedule and within
the framework of the announcements. As a further step, after the
discontinuation of the further development of the ComBOTS
communication service in September, the Supervisory Board and the
Executive Board decided today to also discontinue the operation of
the service and to no longer offer the product in future.

The loss on an EBITDA basis including cash effective restructuring
costs (2.4 million Euro) amounted to 9.1 million Euro during the last
quarter (Q3/2006: 11.3 million Euro). With scheduled depreciations
and amortizations of 2.0 million Euro and one-off non cash effective
depreciations in the amount of 7.5 million Euro, the EBIT for Q3
amounts to -18.6 million Euro. Therefore, the result before tax
amounted to -17.4 million Euro, including one-off expenses from
restructuring in a total amount of 9.9 million Euro. The company
anticipates for Q4/2007 an already significantly reduced cost basis
and a result before tax and one-off effects of approximately -5
million Euro.

The shareholding in United Internet AG based on the dual corporate
strategy again enjoyed a very positive development (Q1-Q3/2007: +79.1
million Euro). With the shareholding in United Internet the company
had liquid assets (including tradable securities) of 510 million Euro
as at September 30, 2007.

The company plans to complete the restructuring largely in Q4/2007.
In parallel to this, the company wants to develop and then implement
realization and continuation concepts for the existing assets and,
more particularly, for the data center and the real estate. With a
small team the company plans to evaluate possible new online services
during the first half year 2008 and subsequently to possibly develop
them. Furthermore, the company will also review during this period in
an open manner to what extent the capital resources and also the
capital market strategy need to be adjusted overall to the future
scope of business.

For Q1/2008 the company proceeds on the assumption of total costs
with within the group of approximately 2.2 million Euro, income still
being negligible. These include material costs of approximately 0.9
million Euro (Q3/2007 without one-off effects: 4.3 million Euro),
personnel expenses of 0.9 million Euro (Q3/2007 without one-off
effects: 2.4 million Euro) as well as depreciations and amortizations
of 0.4 million Euro (Q3/2007 without one-off effects: 2.0 million
Euro). Acquisitions are not scheduled according to the current
planning for 2008. For the full year 2008 the company forecasts a
positive result of 1-2 million Euro on the basis of the current asset
and financial structure including the financial income.
