PRESS RELEASE
COMPUTERLINKS continues its success
                           in the 2nd quarter of 2008
Munich, 14.08.2008 -  The COMPUTERLINKS Group was again able to 
maintain its successful position in the 1st half of 2008 despite the 
difficult economic climate and reports growth rates in double figures
for all the essential key figures.  Group turnover in the first half 
of 2008 increased by 19.4% to 245.0 million Euro (1st half of 2007: 
205.1 million Euro).  Gross margins stood at 13.4% after 6 months in 
2008 (1st half of 2007: 14.1%).  EBITDA (earnings before interest, 
taxes, depreciation and amortisation) rose in the 1st half of 2008 
compared to the same period last year from 7.2 million Euro to 8.4 
million Euro (+15.7%).  Net income for the period increased by 17.9% 
to 4.9 million Euro in the first six months of the current fiscal 
year (same period last year: 4.1 million Euro) and earnings per share
rose from 0.62 Euro to 0.72 Euro (+17.8%).
The e-security division saw growth of 21.6% to 218.7 million Euro in 
the first half of 2008 (1st half of 2007: 179.8 million Euro).  
Turnover of 21.0 million Euro was achieved in the e-business division
compared to 20.5 million Euro in the same period last year.  In the 
professional services segment turnover rose by 9.5% to 5.3 million 
Euro in the 1st half of 2008.
On a quarterly basis the Group increased turnover by 23.6% to 127.5 
million Euro in the 2nd quarter of 2008 (previous year: 103.1 million
Euro).  Gross margins stood at 13.0% in the 2nd quarter of 2008 
compared to 14.1% in the 2nd quarter of 2007.  In addition to 
stronger price pressure on the sales side, larger orders, which are 
associated with lower gross margins, were also handled in the 2nd 
quarter.  EBITDA increased by 16.6% to 4.3 million Euro in the 2nd 
quarter of 2008 (previous year: 3.7 million Euro).  Earnings per 
share rose to 0.37 Euro in the 2nd quarter of 2008 (same quarter last
year: 0.32 Euro), an increase of 15.0%.
Despite the generally negative assessments of overall economic trends
in the USA and in our core European countries, the COMPUTERLINKS top 
management assumes that the positive business activity in the IT 
areas, in particular in the area of e-security, will continue also in
the second half of the year.
