美国在线1月宣布计划与媒体巨头时代华纳合并

America Online, the world's richest internet company, beat analysts'  expectations when it announced profits of more than $1.2bn in its financial year which ended on 30 June.

The company had sales of $6.8bn for the year, the bulk of which come from the subscriptions paid by its members, who are mainly in the United States.

AOL added 900,000 more subscribers in the last quarter, bringing its total membership to 23.2m.

But what encouraged analysts most was the rapid growth of its revenues from e-commerce and advertising, which grew by 95% in the quarter to $609m. It now makes up one-third of the company's revenues, which totalled $1.9bn for the quarter, a 39% increase on the previous year.

美国在线--世界上最富有的网络公司,宣布本财政年度（截止日期是6月30日）的利润超过12亿美元,超出了分析家们的预测。

美国在线本年度销售额达68亿美元，大部分来自它的会员交纳的注册费，这些会员主要来自美国。

上个季度，美国在线又增加了900，000名注册会员，使它的会员总数达到了3320万。

但最令分析家门鼓舞的是它的电子商务和广告收入增长迅速，这一季度增长到6亿零9百万美元，增幅为95%，是公司收入的三分之一。公司这一季度的收入是19亿美元，比去年同期增长了39%
