The currency effects mainly relate to the weakening USD. Q1 2007 EBIT includes write-down of goodwill of SEK 357 million, capitalized development of SEK 104 million and provisions for restructuring of SEK 41 million. First quarter highlights - Service revenues totaled SEK 271 million (275). Adjusted for negative currency effects of SEK 8 Million, services revenues grew slightly at 2%. In addition the average number of working days was 1.3 less compared to last year which corresponds to a theoretic value of SEK 5 million. - A sudden change in market conditions led to work cancellations from several customers and a sharp drop in utilization at Teleca in the quarter. These cancellations impact also second quarter, why Teleca has initiated strong actions to redirect resources to alternative projects, customers or prospects. - Teleca has secured one new significant off-shore contract in Europe and two new significant combined on-shore / off-shore contracts in US in the quarter. The three contracts are all made with leading companies in the mobile industry.
