Comments from the CEO
“I am pleased to note that our sales increased strongly during the
quarter. The recovery in European sales continued and we saw good growth
in other of our important markets with the exception of Japan. In
addition to a brighter market environment several of our customers
discover that our electronic shelf labels contribute to reduction in
cost, improved efficiency and thereby increased profitability. We
continue to win significant deals on the, to us so important French
market. We have won three strategic and large deals there this quarter.
However, our result is burdened during the quarter by a stronger krona.
All in all I confirm our outlook of being able toreport higher revenue
and a significantly higher result for the year 2010 than what we did for
2009.

Fredrik Berglund, CEO Pricer AB
