  Statement from President and CEO Peter Rejler
  The third quarter saw a continued good flow of orders and the best
  profits we have ever reported for a third quarter.

  Rejlers has positioned itself well in all markets, reporting
  continued positive development and, at present, a good balance
  between assignments in Infrastructure, Energy, Industry and
  Construction & property.

  We have seen a tendency towards a downtown in certain segments of
  Industry and in Construction & property, driven by the prevailing
  financial uncertainty and business climate. Despite this, demand
  remains high among all customer groups, especially for assignments
  in Energy and Infrastructure, which account for some 60 per cent of
  turnover.

  Growth has been good throughout the year and in 2008 Rejlers has
  gained about 120 new employees, 40 of whom in the acquisition of
  Danatec in the third quarter.

  This year we have received a large number of new and prestigious
  assignments. Of particular note is the planning of the new Western
  Metro line in Helsinki. In the third quarter, we were also
  contracted by utility company Jönköping Energi in relation to the
  construction of 13 new wind power turbines north of Gränna.

  Our target of at least 1000 employees and a turnover of SEK 1
  billion by 2010 remains.
