In
light of postponed orders from customers, the board of directors and
new management of Effnet Group AB do not believe the company will
achieve its previously announced goal of positive monthly results during
the last quarter of the year. Consequently, the company will immediately
begin implementing cost-cutting measures.

"The market
for the company's products continues to be weak. Customers in the mobile
3G area are postponing implementation of these networks.
As a consequence of these delays, Effnet must also modify its business
plan. Under the current market conditions the business's costs are unacceptably
high and a restructuring appears inevitable," says Effnet's
new CEO, Göran E Larsson in a commentary.
In spite of the fact
that our customers are deferring their orders, we are still seeing a
great deal of interest in our products. Effnet will be positioned well
with a product that is in demand when the market rebounds. But despite
the board's long-range faith in the product, we have an articulated
short-term goal of adapting the company's costs to
its revenues," says Effnet Chairman, Magnus Ryde.
