Prospects 2014/15

Based on the development we have observed during the first 6 months of the
financial year, we maintain our expectations to 2014/15 as announced in our
annual report of 26 June 2014. 

If the sale of the property in Vejle is completed within the current financial
year, expectations for the annual result before taxation will be raised from
70-75 DKK million to 90-95 DKK million.
