* ReadSoft has decided to focus its development resources on three
  product areas and to implement a savings program to cut down costs
  by SEK 40-45 million. The total non-recurring costs for these
  actions are estimated at SEK 20 million. SEK 10.8 million will be
  charged to the third quarter earnings and is write-downs for
  activated software development costs."ReadSoft's business operations did not develop as planned during
  the third quarter of 2008. The state of uncertain markets around
  the world has influenced customers' willingness to invest, and, in
  turn, growth and results were lower than expected. However,
  performance varied greatly from market to market. Sales in "USA and
  the rest of the world" increased by approximately 24 percent, while
  at the same time the large European markets displayed negative
  growth. Results in other geographic segments also varied
  significantly.

  Due to the decrease in growth and the turbulent economic situation,
  ReadSoft has decided to take measures in response to the weakened
  market. This includes postponing the development of one of our
  products and focusing development on three specific product areas:
  SAP, Oracle and Capture.
  Activity is now focused on our most successful areas, building a
  stable platform from which to meet the demands of a tougher
  market."
