In fiscal year 2010 CFC generated group sales of EUR 79.2 million. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to a decrease in sales of 35.5 percent. However, in fiscal year 2009 group sales included considerable revenues of meanwhile divested companies. As far as the remaining portfolio companies are concerned, group sales exceeded the sales volume generated in the previous year by 7.9 percent.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 2.5 million were significantly positive again. Hence, CFC also continued the operational turnaround on a full year basis.

As per December 31st 2010, CFC has a total equity capital of EUR 5.3 million on the group level. This corresponds to an equity ratio of roughly 10.1 percent, given total assets in the amount of EUR 52.6 million. Inconsideration of minority interests in the result of the group, the net income attributable to shareholders of CFC amounts to KEUR -596. This corresponds to a loss per share of EUR 0.07.

The Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 5.0 million and was significantly positive in 2010, compared to EUR -19.2 million in the same period of 2009. Cash and cash equivalents in the group amounted to EUR 6.3 million on December 31st 2010.
