. However, as a consequence of the stagnating overall market, our revenue gains are not consistent with our expectations and plans, implying that half-year earnings have decreased from the previous year's level. Our dependence of the activities on the markets mean that market variations generates relatively sizeable quarterly revenue and earnings fluctuations.

Our cost mass is overwhelmingly dependent on the number of exchanges where we pursue trading, and the rate of our market and product development. Obviously, we modify those expenses we can influence on an ongoing basis.

The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion.
 97.9 m in the six- month period, against SEK 80.2 m in the corresponding period of the previous year, a 22% increase. In the second quarter isolated, revenues amounted to SEK 43.2 m, representing 17% growth. Second-quarter growth is entirely attributable to NeoNet's US expansion, while revenues sourced from European customers were largely unchanged on the second quarter 2000. Revenues for the most recent 12-month period were SEK 178.6 m, 43% growth on the previous 12- month period (124.6 m).

In the second quarter, the average daily intermediated turnover was SEK 1,880 m, up 22% on SEK 1,543 m in the corresponding period of the previous year. Rolling 12-month daily trading values were 48% up on the corresponding period one year previously.

The sector experienced sustained share price downturns through the second quarter 2001, coupled with contracting trading volumes Trading volume

, resulting in a significant reduction in turnover on Europe's stock exchanges. Compared to the second quarter of the previous year, total turnover on those stock exchanges most significant to NeoNet, Stockholm and Helsinki, fell by 7,9% and 1,4% respectively. Accordingly, the value of those equity transactions NeoNet intermediated in the second quarter (+22%), and revenues achieved (+17%), can only be considered positive.

NeoNet's primary strategy is to be able to offer automatic order routing on 80% of the market capitalization of the world's major stock exchanges by 2003.

Consolidated first half-year earnings before tax were SEK 7.2 m, against SEK 11.5 m for the corresponding period of the previous year.

The high gross margins of NeoNet's operations imply that generally, changes in market volumes and revenues also imply relatively sizeable fluctuations in quarterly earnings figures.

Outlook

NeoNet is exclusively active within the execution of equity transactions on major stock exchanges on behalf of institutional investors. Revenues are generated through commission, based on the value of the transactions executed. NeoNet does not pursue any proprietary trading, and accordingly, revenues and earnings in any given period are a function of client activity and quoted share prices. The implication is that the value of daily trading volumes, and thereby revenues and earnings, are subject to short-term Short-term

 variations.

NeoNet expects to sustain revenue growth through robust expansion, by connecting to more stock exchanges for automatic order routing and by the addition of more clients in more countries. Moreover, NeoNet's share of client trading is expected to increase.
