STRONG REPEAT BUSINESS, NEW IMPORTANT WINS AND GOOD PROFITABILITY Our third quarter revenue reached SEK 75.4 million (67.6) which is 11 % above same quarter previous year. Currency adjusted the revenue growth amounted to 2%. The gross margin was strong at 65.8 % (61.1) and also the operating margin was higher and reached 20,6 % (13,7). Stronger margins and improved finance net produced a net income before tax of SEK 17 million (9.6). The increased profitability is driven by good underlying margins, cost control and a positive currency effect of SEK 2.4 million. The cash flow was positive and our net cash position increased by SEK 4.8 million to SEK 195.4 million. On top of steady and profitable repeat business during the quarter we also had some important new customer wins. We won a contract exceeding SEK 20 million with a member of the German ARD Group of Broadcasters for a strategically important extension of their contribution network. Following a successful event related project in Asia we secured a contract for the build out of a contribution network with a major operator in China. Via a new partner in Italy we won a project with Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting (TIMB), which is a major terrestrial television network operator in Italy, including our video compression solution. Our EMEA region has contributed with 69 % (84) of the total revenues. The Americas contributed 22 % (10) and APAC 9 % (6). Both Americas and APAC are performing better than last year which is a step in the right direction. Our partner network is a strategic pillar for our market expansion and an increasingly important business generator. Our focus going forward is increased revenue generated per partner before possibly adding new ones. Indirect sales through partners will vary over time and during the quarter reached the highest level so far 65 % (46). We have recently expanded our product portfolio. With the new product releases we strengthen our access portfolio so that customers can use the Nimbra platform from the core all the way to the network access. In front of customers it is important to have a sufficiently large product span and we have now increased that span significantly and thereby expanded our addressable market. At the same time this is a new attractive offering and facilitates new entry point business for our partners. Net Insight has also been awarded "Best HDTV Technology Project" by Cable and Satellite International for our successful Digital Terrestrial (DVB-T2) project with Teracom in Sweden. As regards the period January to September revenues, gross margin and net income are up compared with previous year.
