The operating loss for the 3rd quarter (April-June) of the current fiscal year has been reduced to a fourth of that in the same period last year---0.79 M€ in comparison with 3.12 M€.

The reduced operating loss is due to :

• Increased revenue; the third quarter was the best in Mandriva's history.

• Both the traditional (retail) and new (OEM, on line sales and Mandriva Linux Users' Club) sources of revenue benefited from increased gross margins.

• Lower operating expenses since the diversification into E-Learning was discontinued in April 2001.

During the forthcoming months, the company will continue to develop the high gross margin revenue lines (OEM, on line sales, Mandriva Club) and, at the same time, continue to reduce operating expenses.
