A word from the CEO
Tilgin's net sales increased by over 60 percent compared with both the
previous quarter and with the corresponding period in 2009. The gross
margin went down somewhat during the quarter, but is 36 percent for the
first half of 2010, which is on par with the corresponding period in
2009. Order intake and order backlog went down from the previous quarter
but was however higher than in the corresponding period in 2009.

The market in general is showing continued recovery, although we can
observe a certain sluggishness in some markets when it comes to the
operators' investment decisions. Despite the component shortage that has
affected the entire industry, Tilgin has succeeded relatively well with
its deliveries during the quarter.

On the customer side, we have during the second quarter strengthened our
position on the Danish fiber market, won new interesting orders in the
U.S. and received an additional order from Superonline in Turkey, via
our partner Ericsson. Our list of prospects is growing steadily.

On the development side we see the effects from focusing on one common
software for all our hardware platforms, which has enabled a high
development pace and lower maintenance during the quarter.

We have also in the second quarter continued with our tight cost
control, and the efforts of balancing our costs with future revenue is
an ongoing process. Additional measures for improved efficiency during
the fall of 2010 are expected to lower our operating costs by 15 percent
in 2011, compared with the first half of 2010.

We are entering the second half of 2010 with continued market growth,
improved internal efficiency, and trimmed cost levels.
