On October 12, 2000, Brokat AG announced that it had entered into an agreement
to acquire Automated Financial Systems in exchange for ordinary shares of
Brokat.
Attached and incorporated by reference in this Form 6-K is the following
exhibit:
Exhibit No. Description
99.1 Press release dated October 12, 2000
The U.S. SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so
that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make
informed investment decisions. This Form 6-K or the exhibit to this Form 6-K may
contain such "forward-looking statements."
Words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expects," "projects," "intends,"
"plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance used in connection
with any discussion of future operating or financial performance, or future
transactions, identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements are based on Brokat management's present expectations of future
events and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements. Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Brokat is under no obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update
or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
For additional information about factors that could affect Brokat's future
financial and operating results, see Brokat's other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed
with the Commission on September 8, 2000.
