of EUR 6.4 million (5.0 million). The largest countries for
exports were Germany and Sweden.

The Group's profit before extraordinary items was EUR 0.9 million
(0.3 million). The improvement in earnings was due not only to the

result of the Architectural Stone Business was negative EUR 0.2
million (-0.2 million).

million (0.3 million) in the report period. The increase was due
