Substantial Revenue Growth

Consolidated Revenues 2001/2002: + 28%

(M€)	2000/2001 (*)	2001/2002 (*)	Increase
First half year (*)	1.7	2.3	+35%
Second half year	1.9	2.3	+21%
Yearly revenue	3.6	4.6	+28%

(*) Unaudited consolidated figures

Mandriva consolidated revenues for fiscal year 2001-2002 increased by 28% to 4.6 ME. This performance, during a time of particularly difficult market conditions throughout the software industry, is the result of successful new product lines: online sales at Mandriva Store, income from OEMs, and Mandriva Users Club. Together these have generated 43% of the overall revenue, compared to 11% in the last fiscal year.

This increase in income, in addition to several significant cost-reduction actions, should allow for a major reduction in net operating loss for fiscal year 2001-2002.
