GROUP

The Scribona Group consists of the Parent Company and the Scribona business area with operations in Sweden, Finland and Norway.

The Swedish subsidiary Scribona Nordic AB has handled the Group's entire flow of goods including purchasing, logistics and sales in Sweden, Finland and Norway. The local companies in Finland and Norway have functioned as agents for Scribona Nordic AB and served customers in their respective local markets.

On March 4, 2008, it was announced that Scribona had signed an agreement with Tech Data for the sale of its operating activities. The transaction, which is described in detail in the 2007 annual report, was approved by the EU Competition Authority on April 28 and by Scribona's stockholders at the AGM on April 29, 2008. The transaction was completed on May 19, 2008. In May and June 2008 Scribona received 50% of the purchase price, in an amount of SEK 237 million after deduction of certain settlements.

On June 1, 2008, Board member Lorenzo Garcia took over the role of CEO from Fredrik Berglund. On June 30, 2008, Vice President and CFO Hans-Åke Gustafsson left the company.

GROUP DEVELOPMENT

Net sales and profit for the second quarter of 2008

The period leading up to Tech Data's takeover of the operating activities has been devoted mainly to preparations for the sale, as well as efforts to keep normal operating activities running as far as possible until the "Closing", on May 19, 2008. Since then, around 30 individuals have worked to liquidate assets and liabilities and extinguish obligations under contracts in force. This staffing has been successively reduced and at mid-year there were 10 individuals actively involved in the wind-down process.

Discontinued operations

The wind-down of operations in Denmark during 2007 was completed in December 2007 following the sale of the Danish subsidiaries.

Profit after tax in discontinued operations for the first half of 2007 was SEK -22 million.

Cash flow

The Group's cash flow from operating activities for the first half of the year reached SEK 598 million (184), and includes inventories that were sold to Tech Data for SEK 362 million.

Cash flow from investing activities is reported at SEK 238 million (-2). This includes the first and second installments of the purchase price from Tech Data in May and June, in a total amount of SEK 237 million.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -592 million (-75). Financing commitments via the accounts receivable securitization program were settled at the end of June 2008.

The period's cash flow was SEK 244 million (142).

Financial position

Net financial assets at the end of the quarter totaled SEK 449 million (-211). Capital employed was SEK 85 million (895). Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2008 amounted to SEK 434 million (146).

Employees

The number of employees in the Group on May 18, 2008, was 322, of whom 188 were hired by Tech Data on May 19. All of the other employees have been terminated on grounds of shortage of work, of which a few have remained active in Scribona's wind-down activities. The number of employees at the end of the period, equal to the number of full-time positions, was 10 (343).

Key ratios

Earnings per share for the first half of 2008 amounted to SEK -0.37 (-0.78).

Equity per share at the end of the period was SEK 6.55 (8.37).

The equity/assets ratio at June 30, 2008, 61.4% (30.0%).

Return on capital employed over the past 12-month period was -8.8% (-4.7% for the full year 2007).

Return on equity over the past 12-month period amounted to -25.6% (-27.3% for the full year 2007).

LIQUIDATION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS

At the beginning of 2008 the Board of Directors' and Executive Management's priorities have focused primarily on preparing for the transfer of operating activities to Tech Data. After signing the agreement on March 4, 2008, technical preparations have been intensified to ensure a smooth and friction-free transfer.

Following the transfer of operations to Tech Data on May 19, Scribona's balance sheet was fully intact with the exception of inventories and certain equipment. The value of inventories was replaced with a receivable from Tech Data in addition to a contracted premium in excess of the purchase price for these inventories. Added to this were obligations to the redundant staff and to a large number of counterparties with which contracts in force have not been transferred to Tech Data.

The purchase price amounted to SEK 504 million, of which 15%, or SEK 76 million, was received on May 19 and 35% less certain settlements or SEK 161 million, was received on June 19. The two remaining installments were to be paid in an amount of 35% on July 18 (received) and 15% on November 19. Additional purchase consideration of EUR 1.5 million may be paid during 2009 and certain other deductions may arise in the event of adjustments in valuation of the acquired assets.

After the transfer, a number of individuals have continued working to liquidate assets and liabilities and extinguish obligations under contracts in force. This has included collection of accounts receivable and settlement of accounts payable, but also matters such as finding viable solutions for termination of property leases. Immediately after "Closing" there were 30 individuals involved in this work, and at the end of the period this number had decreased to 10.

The initial wind-down process has proceeded smoothly and early assessments of wind-down costs have proven overly cautious. The total wind-down costs are now estimated at SEK 115 million.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The wind-down following the sale of operations to Tech Data is expected to be largely completed during 2008 and will lead to the conversion of receivables and liabilities to cash.

The net asset value to Scribona's stockholders is dependent on future factors, such as costs for the wind-down of operations. The current assessment is that the stockholders can expect net asset value of at least SEK 6.55 per share.

Scribona's new Board of Directors, elected by the Extraordinary General Meeting on August 21, 2008, will soon present its strategic plan for Scribona and discuss the conditions for Scribona's future market listing with the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
