Comments by CEO Johan Hjertonsson:

  · Continued lower demand in the late-cycle Indoor Lighting and Retail Lighting
segments remains stable on a low level, in line with previous estimates.
  · We anticipate that the market will remain weak through the coming quarters.
  · The lower level of sales has meant a decrease in profits compared with the
same period during the previous year. A considerable portion of this has been
compensated for through cost savings.
  · The gross margins were at the same level as in the first quarter of the
previous year, and higher than the preceding quarter.
  · Fixed expenses have been reduced by MSEK 50, on an annual basis compared,
with the first quarter of the previous year, after adjustments for currency
effects.
  · Investments in R&D continue.
  · The strong Swedish krona has had a negative effect on profit of MSEK 8
compared with the previous year.
  · Red Dot Design Award for Fagerhult’s Appareo fixture.
