The company estimates that its net sales will be approximately 60 million euros, which means a growth of 3 percent compared to the previous year. Operating result will be approximately 15 million euros, which is 25 percent of net sales. According to the previous outlook, growth in net sales was expected to be approximately 5 percent on the previous year and the operating result to be slightly lower than the year before. Both outlooks have been calculated for the continuing businesses, whose net sales for 2007 amounted to 58.24 million euros and operating result to 17.90 million euros.
