increase in net investment is related to the acquisition of the

New restatement method
Starting from November the current method is applied when translating
foreign subsidiaries' financial statements. This means that
translation differences will affect equity instead of the income
statement. The change affected consolidated net profit as per
November by -0.7 MSEK. Comparison year has not been recalculated
cause of an unessential influence.

Prospects for the rest of 2007
As communicated in the nine-month report net sales for the full year
are estimated to increase by around 8 percent. Profit before tax is
estimated to be at least 140 MSEK. This would, after estimated full
tax (32 per cent), represent a profit per share of SEK 12.31 (profit
per share 2006 was 7.87).
