The CEO's review will cover the unaudited financial information published in this release, not disclosed previously. Based on information from Salcomp's customers and suppliers related to implications of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan to the whole electronics industry, Salcomp expects some disruptions in industry deliveries in the coming months. Although Salcomp's component purchases directly from Japan are at insignificant level, some of Salcomp's current suppliers and customers use materials manufactured in Japan. During the first months of 2011, Salcomp's net sales have continued to increase compared to last year. However, the operating profit remains unsatisfactory and is expected to be negative during the first quarter of 2011. The operating profit continues to be burdened by further rises in material prices, as well as higher labor costs and fixed costs. In summary, Salcomp's outlook for 2011 remains more uncertain than usual. However, based on the currently available information, Salcomp has not changed the outlook for the full year 2011. According to the guidance published earlier in February 2011, the net sales in 2011 are expected to be EUR 280-320 million and the operating margin in 2011 is expected to be 2-4% of the net sales. According to a timetable published earlier, Salcomp's Interim Report for the January-March 2011 period will be published on 20 May 2011.
