Comments from the CEO, Juan Vallejo
Sales increased with 14 percent, of which 11 percent was organic. This is the
largest organic growth we have reported to date. The segment US/UK/Ireland shows
profitability again after the loss at the beginning of the year, and we are
ending the fourth quarter stronger than during the previous year.  

The installation sales has increased more than the service portfolio in Mainland
Europe which has led to an unfavorable mix in the distribution of total sales
between installation/integration and services in the segment. We are now
focusing on strengthening the service organization in order to develop a uniform
service offering. 

Outlook for 2008 is a total sales growth of over 10 percent and sustained
operating margin. Our focus is to develop new service offerings for specific
customer segments, increase the introduction of new customer segments and an
increase in sales of cross-boarder customer projects. We are strengthening the
Group management with three new members. In April we will change our company
name to Niscayah in order to strenghten our business model. With a broader offer
under a mutual brand we will be a leading operator on a fragmented market.
