The Company also does not expect a short-term improvement in the following months. The Solms-based camera and optics specialist therefore expects to close fiscal year 2004/2005 (FY end March 31) with an operating result in the euro -10 million range. The current negative earnings situation does not impact the ongoing improvements in distribution and the further development of the product range in sports optics as well as in analogue and digital photo products. Details concerning the 3rd quarter (October through December 2004) will be published at the beginning of 2005. Douglas Douglas M.
