CEO, Håkan Kirstein's comments:

The third quarter was characterized by challenging market conditions,
particularly in the southern parts of Europe and in the countries within
the US/UK/Ireland segment. Customers in these regions are postponing
their security investments. Our sales of services are strengthening and
the organic growth within services amounted to 1 percent during the
third quarter, and to 3 percent during the period, compared with the
preceding year. 

We continued to implement the restructuring program during the third
quarter with the aim of reducing costs, increasing the centralization
within the countries and thereby raising efficiency in the company
significantly.  The program is expected to deliver annual savings of
approximately MSEK 180 from the first quarter 2011.The savings amounted
to approximately MSEK 25 during the third quarter.   

The execution of the restructuring program is proceeding as planned, but
continued to cause productivity disruptions in Sweden, Norway and
Germany during the third quarter. This primarily impacted
implementation, where the organic growth amounted to -14 percent. These
productivity disruptions will gradually cease in line with the
completion of the program. We are in a transformation process which will
strengthen Niscayah in the long-term.
