     quarter of 2002.

Press Release
-------------

           QSC Sharply Reduces Cash Burn for the Sixth Time in a Row.
                           Confirms Forecast for 2002

     Cologne, November 12, 2002 - Based on preliminary results, QSC AG (Neuer
Markt: QSC), a professional DSL service provider in Ger-many, grew its 9-months
revenues by 66 percent to EUR 33.6 million, compared to EUR 20.2 million for the
comparable period in 2001. During the third quarter 2002, which is traditionally
weak due to the slow summer months, the company generated preliminary revenues
of EUR 12.1 million (Q3 2001: EUR 7.8 million), thus succeeded in posting a
moderate rise over the strong second quarter of 2002 (Q2 2002: EUR 12.0
million). Business with resellers, essentially consisting of Internet service
providers to whom QSC supplies DSL lines, declined moderately as a result of the
weak economy.

     In the third quarter 2002, QSC's preliminary EBITDA loss totaled EUR -14.7
million, as opposed to EUR -18.9 million for the comparable prior-year period.
This reduction by more than 20 percent was primarily attributable to the
company's rising percentage of higher-margin end-customer revenues with business
customers and its project business. During the first nine months of 2002, QSC's
preliminary EBITDA loss was improved by nearly 30 percent to EUR -45.9 mil-lion,
compared to EUR -64.6 million in 2001.

     There was a significant improvement in net cash outflow in the third
quarter of 2002, with the company reducing its cash burn for the sixth time in a
row. According to the preliminary results, the net cash out-flow reached EUR
-15.1 million for the third quarter, as opposed to EUR -17.1 million for the
second quarter of 2002 (Q3 2001: EUR -35.5 million). For the coming quarters,
too, QSC anticipates that its net cash outflow will decline by an average of
around EUR 1.5 million per quarter. Liquid assets on September 30, 2002, totaled
approximately EUR 102.6 million after EUR 153.8 million on December 31, 2001.

     In spite of the weak economy, QSC is confirming its February 2002 forecast
that it would reduce its EBITDA loss from EUR -85.4 million in 2001 to EUR -60
to -70 million in 2002. As of today, QSC anticipates to generate annual revenues
around the lower end of its projected revenue range of EUR 46 to 54 million. The
company plans to reach breakeven on an EBITDA basis in the course of 2003 and on
a cash flow basis in the course of 2004.
