Financial Summary
WRDP has commenced a new strategic focus to become the European provider of complex and custom web-hosting services following the 1Q, 2000 sale of substantially all its facilities-based global telecommunications carrier operating assets. For the six months ended 6/30/01, revenues fell 5% to $5.8 million. Net loss totaled $25.1 million vs. an income of $267 million. Results reflect sale of the telecommunications operations and the absence of $353.1 million in asset sale gains.
