COMMENTS FROM THE CEO, JUAN VALLEJO, The market situation continues to be weak with low demand and high price pressure, particularly within implementation projects. It is gratifying to see that sales of services continue to rise and the share of services amounted to 46 percent during the third quarter. The restructuring program which commenced during the fourth quarter 2008 is proceeding as planned. We will continue to adapt the organization depending on how demand develops on the various markets. In addition to this, we see further opportunities to improve efficiency. The cash flow was strong during the third quarter and significantly better compared with the same quarter of the previous year. We are continuing to focus on refinement of the service offering with recurring income and improving cost efficiency while at the same time prioritizing margins over growth. All of the measures initiated create a stable basis for continued development.
