Fantastic announces lower than expected total revenues for the first
Quarter 2003
Zug, Switzerland — April 30, 2003 — The Fantastic Corporation today
announced its financial results for the quarter ending March 31,
2003. Total revenues were lower than expected. The second quarter is
crucial for Fantastic. Total revenues were $0.4 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of 18.8% compared to the
same period in 2002 and a decrease of 54.9% compared to the fourth
quarter of 2002. Fantastic improved its negative earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by 39.1%, from
$4.3 million a year ago to $2.6 million - after subtracting non-cash
compensation expenses, impairments and restructuring costs. Fantastic
continued to reduce its operating expenses (excluding depreciation,
non cash compensation expenses, impairments and restructuring costs),
resulting in a decrease from $4.8 million in the quarter ended March
31, 2002 to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2003. Operating
expenses decreased by 41.5% from the fourth quarter of 2002 (19.6%
excluding a one-time lease cancellation fee in the fourth quarter).
Net loss decreased to $6.0 million in the quarter ended March 31,
2003, from $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $8.7 million
in the fourth quarter of 2002. This represents a net loss per share
of $0.05, compared to $0.07 in the first quarter of 2002. As of March
31, 2003 Fantastic had 54 employees and cash reserves of $11.7
million. 
Fantastic is building up the sales channels in the United States but
on the other hand. In this endeavor, however, the company is also
dependant on the pace of its partners. Even though the new
positioning of Fantastic in the eCDN market looks promising, the
management and the board of directors are analyzing all alternatives
and will decide on the company’s future after the second quarter
2003. 
The management and board are maintaining the goal of a successful
turnaround in 2003 including achieving EBITDA break-even on a
quarterly basis by the end of the year," said Mr. Bandle.
