Taucha, 13 August 2004: LINTEC Information Technologies AG
(Securities Code Number 648 600, ISIN DE0006486004) ran up an
operating loss in the second quarter of 2004 due to orders seasonally
declining. Moreover, the effects of the new strategy, especially in
connection with contract manufacture (as announced in the report on
Q1 2004) will only show up in the figures for the second six months
of the year. However, following the sale of MVC AG publicised in a
previous ad hoc announcement and the accompanying extensive debt
relief for LINTEC and subsidiary rfi mobile technologies AG, group
equity is now clearly positive at EUR5.2 million (following negative
equity of EUR7.5 million at the end of Q1 2004). Moreover, the
group’s capital ratio has reached 23%.
The figures from Q2 2003 (turnover EUR58 million, EBIT EUR2.9
million) are not fully comparable since the assets sold in Q4 2003
(the shareholding in Intenso GmbH and rfi’s Anycom division) still
accounted for a considerable share of turnover and earnings.
Moreover, the disposal of Lintec’s venture capital arm MVC
Mitteldeutsche Venture Capital AG also needs to be borne in mind when
comparing with last year’s figures.  The debt-relief effects for
LINTEC and rfi and the results of MVC’s deconsolidation affect
different items of the goup’s income statement and balance sheet.

Given the elimination of the interest burden brought about by debt
relief, and by focusing on products and services that pose less of a
strain on liquidity, LINTEC’s Management Board anticipates that the
company’s economic recovery will continue throughout the rest of the
year.
The strategic realignment of operating business based on the three
business units Production & Logistics, IT Business Solutions and New
Brands has borne its first fruit. After signing a contract with a
company in Q1 2004, since Q2 desktop-PCs, servers and notebooks have
been produced for a major European B brand. Agreements with other
companies are currently being negotiated.
The full report on Q2 2004 can be downloaded from our website
