COMPUTERLINKS announces figures for the 3rd quarter of 2008

Munich, 14.11.2008 - The COMPUTERLINKS Group was able to affirm its
successful business policy in terms of turnover in the third quarter
of the current fiscal year. There has, however, been a slowdown in
the growth compared to the first two quarters.

Group turnover in the 3rd quarter of 2008 rose by 10.9% to 120.0
million Euro (same period last year: 108.3 million Euro). Gross
margins were reduced from 14.1% (3rd quarter of 2007) to 13.2% in the
3rd quarter of 2008. Continuing strong pressure on prices was also
noted on the sales side in the last quarter.

Non-recurring expenses in connection with the public takeover offer
and the control and profit transfer agreement arose in the 3rd
quarter of 2008 amounting to 2 million Euro. EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) in the last quarter
were reduced from 3.7 million Euro in the 3rd quarter of 2007 to 1.6
million Euro (- 56.5%). When adjusted for the non-recurring
expenses, EBITDA amounted to 3.6 million Euro (-2.9%). Earnings per
share were Euro 0.03 in the 3rd quarter of 2008 compared to Euro 0.31
in the 3rd quarter of 2007.

Group turnover rose by 16.5% to 365.0 million Euro after nine months
of 2008 (same period last year: 313.4 million Euro). Gross profit
was reduced in the first three quarters of 2008 from 14.1% (same
period last year) to 13.3%. EBITDA in the first nine months of 2008
decreased from 11.0 million Euro in the same period last year to 10.0
million Euro (- 8.9%). Earnings before tax (EBT) were reduced in the
first nine months of 2008 by 23.3% to 7.9 million Euro (same period
last year 10.4 million Euro). This resulted in net income for the
period of 5.1 million Euro in the reporting period compared to 6.2
million Euro in the same period last year (- 17.1%). Earnings per
share were therefore Euro 0.76 compared to Euro 0.92 in the first
nine months of the previous year (- 17.6%).

The e-security division saw an improvement of 19.7% to 325.7 million
Euro in the first nine months of 2008 (same period last year: 272.2
million Euro). Turnover of 31.5 million Euro was achieved in the
e-business division compared to 33.9 million Euro in the same period
last year (- 6.9%). The professional services segment increased in
the first nine months of the fiscal year 2008 by 6.2% to 7.8 million
Euro.

The Group expects companies to cut back their investment budgets
owing to the slowdown in economic growth and the deterioration in
business prospects as a result of the financial market crisis.

Experience has shown that the 4th quarter is the most important
quarter in the whole fiscal year. In view of the general negative
appraisals of overall economic development in the USA and in our core
European countries, the COMPUTERLINKS Group is cautiously optimistic
about business at the end of the year with reduced expectations.
