Results for 2000: Revenue up 71% to EUR 35.831 million 204% revenue growth in Data Center Services Munich, 30 March, 2001. Revenue at Cybernet Internet Services International Inc. in financial year 2000 has come in at EUR 35.831 million, which is 71% up compared with the corresponding figure last year. Most of this growth has been organic. Compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, quarterly revenue is up 36.2%. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2000 improved by 119,5% compared with the corresponding previous year quarter, and is currently running at 38.5% of revenue. The extremely profitable Internet Data Center revenue has been a major factor in this development; this line of business in the year 2000 impro- ved by 204% from EUR 1.651 million to EUR 5.011 million compared with last year.

Negative operating result (EBITDA) has declined by 8.2% to EUR 30.457 million. EBITDA margin expressed as a percentage of revenue has declined from minus 158.5% to minus 85.0%. Compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, the negative operating result has declined by 52.4% to EUR minus 7.107 million (72.4% of revenue). Operating costs (excl. depreciation) have declined from EUR 16.648 million in the fourth quarter of 1999 to EUR 10.884 million in the fourth quarter of 2000. This is equivalent to a decline of 34.6%. In the whole of 2000, operating costs increased slightly by 6.0%. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating costs have fallen from 230.8% in the fourth quarter of 1999 to 110.8 % in the fourth quarter of 2000. The net loss for the year 2000 has risen from EUR 48.371 million to EUR 60.948 million due to higher interest charges and depreciation. On a quarterly basis however, the net loss has been reduced significantly by 52.6% to EUR 15.025 million. As part of its strategy of reducing debt, the company repurchased senior bonds far below their nominal value of USD 82.241 million. This resulted in exceptional income of EUR 17.754 million. The company will continue its efforts to buying back bonds at significant discount in the year 2001. The audit report has not been fully completed by the auditors at the time the results are published. Cybernet is certain that there will be no major changes to the results later on therefore feels comfortable to release the figures as planned.

end of ad hoc announcement, (c) DGAP 30.03.2001

Issuer`s information/explanation remarks concerning this ad hoc announcement:

The fourth quarter has been distorted by the following one-off exceptional factors of EUR 6,029 million, which have meant that operating result and net loss were worse than originally planned: -Accruals to accounts receivable and payables -Adjustments to the 1999 accounts for the company`s Swiss subsidiary -Non-scheduled depreciation on discontinued investments -One-off network costs due to decision to change provider

Results are thus expected to improve in the current quarter and in the next quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the companys range of broadband services in Germany was expanded further to include SDSL (symmetric digital subscriber line). Cybernet has very quickly become one of the leading providers in this particular field, and currently has more than 800 SDSL business customers. In future, this technology will provide access to a very large number of business users and will accordingly provide a major boost to the market potential of Cybernet.

Annualized revenue per employee has improved from EUR 68,000 to EUR 123,000 compared with the fourth quarter of 1999. Revenue per employee is expected to rise above EUR 150,000 in the course of the next few quarters.
