"The positive developments reported for the first quarter also apply
to the first half of the business year. Consolidated sales increased
from 5.6 Mio. Euro in the first six months of 2004/2005 to 6 Mio.
Euro," said Markus Schröcksnadel, CEO at feratel media technologies
AG, at the presentation of the half-year results.

"In keeping with expectations, the result for the first half of the
year is - as always - significantly weaker than in the second half of
the year. This is because sales in the Telecommunications Division
are always concentrated in the second half of the financial year,
whereas overheads are distributed equally over the whole year. In
addition, sales in the company’s incoming activities, where the focus
is currently on the winter tourism market, are also mainly posted in
the third and fourth quarters. As in past years, we are therefore
expecting a positive result in the third and fourth quarters,"
Schröcksnadel continued.

Consolidated EBIT was on target at minus 1.1 Mio. Euro after 1.1 Mio.
Euro in the period-by-period comparison. Earnings before taxes in the
half-year came to 1.1 Mio. Euro after 1.1 Mio. Euro the year before.

New developments in the field of webcams for the Internet feratel has
released a new and attractive feature for Internet webcams, which
makes it possible for cameras using ICAM technology not only to
provide stills and streaming cams but also to generate a series of
individual images for a website. The positions and timing of the
individual images can be freely defined. During the period in which
the camera is used for the TV transmission, the capture PC is
automatically synchronized with the recording times of the feratel
ICAM PC, and the panning system is deactivated during the TV
recording for optimum TV transmissions.

First IRS projects in Slovakia und the Czech Republic In the new EU
member countries, the last few months have also presented feratel
with exciting opportunities in terms of products and tourism
know-how. For example, the tourism offices in the Benecko and Jánské
Lázne ski areas in the Czech Krkonose Mountains and the Donovaly Ski
Area in Slovakia are now working with feratel’s Deskline® information
and reservation system for online information and reservations and
back-office functions.

New information terminals were installed in Saasbachwalden (D),
Vilshofen (D), Weggis (CH) and Vitznau (CH), and at Salzburg Airport
(A). Two information terminals were also supplied to Varna and Albena
on the Black Sea.

Particularly healthy developments are reported in the incoming
sector, which was launched two years ago. At present the focus is on
selling leading Austrian regions on the Russian market.

Outlook The IPO in 2000 and a number of major acquisitions were
followed by years of reorganization and consolidation including the
sale of individual fields of business that were not part of feratel’s
core activities. Since financial 2002/2003, there has been continuous
progress in terms of results, and further improvements to results and
a further increase in sales are the goals for financial 2005/2006.

As announced in the first quarter, feratel is working on the
assumption that the business environment will remain positive in its
core markets in the current business year. An additional positive
stimulus for sales and results is expected from the company’s new
export markets and its incoming activities, which are now developing
well.
