Hereafter the losses in the Popwire product family will have been eliminated. · In all Teleca had one-time charges in the second quarter 2006 of SEK 74 million. · Microsoft Corp. has commissioned Teleca to integrate most of the components from Obigo with Windows Mobile. · Previous full-year group forecast for 2006 was: increased net sales and operating profits.
