CEO Comments

Martin  Nicklasson, CEO, said:  We are seeing  strong continued US sales growth,
directly  linked  to  the  build-up  of  our  Marketing  &  Sales  resources and
activities.  Unfortunately,  since  many  European  countries  are facing budget
troubles,  we have seen a weaker sales  performance in the European market. This
was  particularly manifested at the end of  the third quarter. We have also seen
lately,  a risk adverse  buying pattern on  a wholesaler and distribution level,
with  no  or  delayed  purchase  of  products,  awaiting  the  implementation of
announced  price cuts in some  countries. During the year  an increased level of
parallel  trade has also  occurred. Finally, launches  of new growth products in
Europe  have been delayed  or hampered, and  sales from these  products will not
have  a significant impact until  2011. Due to this, we  have to adjust our full
year guidance.
