                Comments from the CEO, Alf Göransson"As a  further  step in  specialization  and customer  focus,  a  new
segment organization was introduced as of January 1, 2007. Mobile and
Monitoring specialize in security services for small and medium-sized
businesses  and   electronic   alarm  surveillance,   and   increased
investments are presently made in  sales resources in order to  drive
the  organic  sales  growth.  The   new  Group  management  team   is
accordingly also now in place. The Securitas strategy for the  coming
years  is  presently  being  developed,  and  will  be  presented  in
conjunction with the presentation of the half year interim report  in
August 2007.

During the first quarter 2007, it has come to our attention that  the
cut-off procedures in Loomis Cash Management Ltd (LCM) implemented at
year end 2006 were not fully  comprehensive, and new stock takes  are
required and the result is expected  during the second half of  2007.
Due to the development in the UK cash handling operation, the listing
of Loomis will not take place in 2007."
