FreeSoft Rt.’s Brief Report
for the financial year 2004
INTRODUCTION
FreeSoft Software Development and IT Services Corporation (“FreeSoft Rt.” or the "Corporation") in July 2004 raised its capital with an open subscription procedure, where investors subscribed to 385,000 shares at an exchange rate of 1,800 HUF/share. This resulted in the share capital of the corporation to increase to HUF 1,435,000,000. Trading with the Corporation's shares at the Budapest Stock Exchange started on September 22, 2004.
During the year, FreeSoft Budapest Szoftverfejlesztő Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság (FreeSoft Kft.) merged into FreeSoft Rt, and the Company Registry registered the merger on April 2, 2004.
In the first quarter of 2004, FreeSoft Rt. did not perform any business activities, obtained no revenue from business activities, and had no productive resources. Until the day of registering the merger by the Company Registry, business activities had been performed by FreeSoft Kft, therefore also the revenue was accounted for at FreeSoft Kft.
According to the accounting rules, the 2004 Profit and Loss statement may only contain FreeSoft Rt’s figures, as a result, the Net sales revenue provided in the Brief Report includes only FreeSoft Rt’s actuals for the year 2004, according to the Listing and trading rules of the Budapest Stock Exchange.
Because the registration of the merger by the Company Registry took longer than planned, the IPO occurred later than expected, which resulted in the Corporation not being able to complete all its acquisition targets in 2004.
Of the plans for founding international subsidiaries and purchasing companies in the domestic markets, the foundation of FreeSoft Deutschland GmbH in Germany, the acquisition of BigFish Kft., and the preparation of buying Mooltech Kft’s shares was accomplished. To realize its expansion plans for its product portfolio and market, the corporation continues to seek additional acquisition targets and to prepare additional acquisitions.

Net revenue of sales (HUF 826 million) exceeded last year's by 30%, and – relative to time – realized the goals in the company's plans. If we add FreeSoft Ltd.'s revenue of HUF 95 million to FreeSoft Rt.'s, then the revenue was 42% higher than that of FreeSoft Kft. in 2003. 18 percent of net revenue originated from abroad.
The core activity of FreeSoft Rt. is services with minimal material requirements, which is reflected in the low amount of Material costs.
To perform its contractual duties, the Corporation often hires external experts and subcontractors, which is displayed in rows Value of services used and Value of recharged services.
The partners often deliver the computing devices and tools (hardware, software) necessary for setting up the operating environment for IT projects; this is reflected in the row Cost of goods sold.
Compared to FreeSoft Kft’s figures in 2003, Payments to Personnel increased significantly, which is the result of the corporation’s policy, according to which highly qualified professionals receive appropriate remuneration.
The Depreciation charge reflects the low amount of tangible assets (HUF 50 million), because FreeSoft Kft.’s assets were taken over in FreeSoft Rt’s books at their net value.
The significant amounts which constitute the row Other expenditure include local taxes (HUF 6.4 million), non-reclaimable VAT (HUF 2.3 million), the personal income tax for company cars (HUF 2.5 million), contributions to foundations (HUF 2.1 million), and impairment loss (HUF 2.9 million).
The corporations’ high Balance Sheet profit is largely attributable to the result of financial operations, which by the investment of liquid assets generated a profit of HUF 64.7 million.
According to Tpt. section 53(2), we announce that the figures and statements in the Brief Report are true, and the report does not hide any facts which are significant from the aspect of judging the corporation's current condition.
