CEO Jonas Söderqvist comments:

With 104 million visitors in Q3, we are proud to present the strongest quarter
ever in terms of traffic.

In a very short space of time, myTaste has succeeded in becoming one of the
world’s biggest culinary websites. From solely focusing on increasing traffic
and members, we have sharpened our focus on revenues during the autumn. In line
with this, we have decided to place our resources in the countries where we see
revenues being generated in the short term. This has involved 17 people leaving
myTaste, mainly from support and administration. One consequence of this is that
the Asian and African countries are no longer being offered support in local
languages. In the future we will be focusing entirely on the European countries
plus Brazil and the US, while the remaining countries will only be offered
support in English. The fact that we have seen the biggest growth thus far in
these areas and are able to build up local sales and increase revenues in the
smallest amount of time, has been instrumental in our decision.

After the latest update from Google, we have seen that organic search engine
traffic at myTaste has decreased in all countries apart from two, in which we
have been running a new live version of the platform for some time. Traffic
increased in these two countries in connection with the update, which is
positive as this allows us to identify with certainty the measures required to
restore traffic to the remaining countries. The aim is for the new version of
the platform to be launched globally in Q4 and to already be able to see the
results of this in Q1. For this reason we have decided to extend the previously
announced deadline for achieving our traffic objectives.

The first version of the myTaste iPhone app was launched in Sweden at the end of
November and within the space of a week, it had climbed to first place in its
category. This is an extremely positive development and it will be exciting to
follow its launch in the other countries in the future. With a large number of
users downloading our app, we are reducing our dependency on Google and becoming
less sensitive to any future updates.

It is also pleasing that 203 Creative has regained its profitability after the
programme of measures initiated during the summer. Shopello is continuing to
grow and the number of affiliated stores is increasing. 203 Brands continues to
be stable and the mobile versions launched have had a positive effect on both
visitor behaviour and sales. 203 Brands’ acquisition of Möbler.se and its
agreement to acquire Bodegashop.com fit into the portfolio extremely well as
there are clear synergies with the other brands and fellow subsidiary Shopello.

In order to strengthen our financial position, the Board of Directors has
proposed a convertible share issue that will prioritise existing shareholders.
The plan is that, combined with greater focus on revenues for myTaste, this
share issue will bring the Group into profit.
