Jon Sigurdsson, President & CEO, comments:"The main focus in 2008 is on profitability and product
rationalization. We have managed to increase the profitability of our
business handsomely for the first six months, despite the fact that
sales were slow in the second quarter. Product launches in the first
half of the year have been unusually few, but there are some
interesting products and product upgrades anticipated for the second
half of the year. "
