FY2001 first quarter results firmly confirm the continuation of the Group's dynamic growth for the current fiscal year, as the Group's companies maintained significant top line growth rates while margins were significantly improved.

The year 2001 constitutes for the ALTEC Group a milestone and the beginning of a new era, as management decided to radically restructure the Group's companies with the merger by absorption of SYSWARE S.A., UNSOFT S.A. and STAT S.A. by ALTEC S.A. aiming to create the largest New Technology company in Greece and the Balkans.

This strategic move creates a powerful business entity equivalent to its European peers in terms of size and capital structure, while it integrates the whole Group's basic human resources into a single organization that possesses an extensive knowledge of the market. At the same time, the creation of a unified company allows for substantial economies of scale and increased productivity and competitiveness, which will contribute significantly to the further growth of the Group's financial results.

The valuation of the merging companies was conducted by the independent auditing firms Grant Thorton S.A. and KPMG Kyriakou Certified Auditors S.A. and the advisors were Marfin S.A. and P& K Capital S.A. According to the valuations, the exchange terms for the shares were set as follows
