NeoNet’s Year-End Report 1 January - 31 December 2003 NeoNet’s transaction revenues during 2003 amounted to SEK 147.6 m (184.7 m). The operating earnings before depreciation and net financial items were SEK -17.0 m (SEK 0.4 m). For the fourth quarter transaction revenues amounted to SEK 42.2 m (SEK 42.0 m). EBITDA amounted to SEK -6.7 m (SEK -0.9 m), which was impacted by non-recurring costs amounting to SEK 4.2 m. "2004 clearly looks more positively than 2003," said Staffan Persson, acting President and CEO of NeoNet. Several aspects supports this: -Our revenues decreased in 2003 compared to the previous year, however increased during both third and fourth quarter. -We have reached our established goals in terms of accessible stock markets and our new organization should deliver a larger inflow of new clients. -Our operating expenses have been reduced by SEK 23.7 m to SEK 140 m during the year and this amount should not be exceeded during 2004 despite the addition of Lexit’s operating expenses. -We have a negative cash flow for 2003 but it is realistic to achieve a positive cash-flow during 2004. "The positive turnaround of the market indicates that 2004 will be a better year for NeoNet than 2003," said Staffan Persson. "Our new trading platform will be set into production, an organization which is more focused on clients and sales has been implemented and during the first half of 2004, we plan to integrate new exchanges such as NYSE via BRUT, Virt-x, Lisbon and Madrid within our trading system. The improved market is a good base for organic growth during the year." See attached interim report.
