DEVELOPMENT DURING THE YEAR

CEO comment "In a period of extensive development of our business and a problematic change of ERP systems, we have managed to achieve volume growth of 21 %, of which 14 % is organic, and operating income growth of 29 %. During the year, the change of business systems has involved direct and significant indirect costs. The indirect ERP system costs and a weak Swedish currency against the euro have had a negative effect on results of approximately SEK 8-10 million. We have strengthened our position in the market, both in regard to larger and more advanced systems within the area of document printout for large companies and organizations as well as all round solutions including IT infrastructure for small and mid-sized companies."

"In the last quarter of 2007, a certain sluggishness was experienced in the market. Despite this, Carl Lamm was able to deliver continued growth in sales as well as improved margins. The Board of Directors and Management believe that this market sluggishness may continue for one or more quarters, but nevertheless are of the opinion that the company's previously communicated growth and margin goals can remain, which for 2008 means continued growth and improvement of results."
