Concordia AB´s biggest shareholder, Blue Bay Asset Management have underwritten a redeemable preference share of 510  SEK million in order to pay of the company’s Mezzanie-loan, Euro 45 million. The share issue was conditional on using proceeds to repay the mezzanine loan held by the parent company Concordia Bus AB. The share issue was carried out with pre-emptive rights for the company´s current shareholders.

Concordia AB, Group Concordia Nordic AB, have sold all their shares in Interbus AB to Strömma Turism & Sjöfart AB, with possession day on 4 of December.

Concordia AB have developed Interbus AB and its activation, which lead to acquisition of travel company Marstrands- Hermansby and FO-resor, plus to a increased procurement of new buses. The Management of Concordia have decided to concentrate its business on systemized traffic solutions, a competence that not is applicable on Interbus.

Fourth quarter ended February 28, 2007 compared to the fourth quarter ended February 28, 2006

The following section provides an analysis of the actual numbers presented for the fourth quarter  ended February 28, 2007 as compared with the equivalent period in the preceding year, except for the section “Liquidity and capital resources” which provides analysis between the financial years 2006 and 2007 in their entirety.

Revenues

Revenues principally comprise fees generated from bus services provided under the terms of contracts with local public transportation authorities in Sweden, Norway and Finland and from express bus services and coach hire services in Sweden. Revenues also include revenues received from maintenance and repair services that Swebus provides at its depots to third parties and sales of diesel fuel.

Revenues increased by SEK 174 million, or 15%, from SEK 1,180 million for the quarter ended February 28, 2006 to SEK 1,354 million for the quarter ended February 28, 2007.

Revenues from the provision of bus services for local public transportation authorities increased by SEK 166 million, or

16 %, from SEK 1,045 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, to SEK 1,211 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007. Our increased in revenue is principally due to new contracts, which provided a increase of SEK 151 million. This was offset by higher prices on our existing and renewed contracts, which provided an increased revenue of SEK 59 million, increased volume on existing contracts resulting in increased revenue of SEK 22 million and lost of contracts resulting in an decrease of SEK 66 million.

Revenues from express bus services increased by SEK 1 million, or 1%, from SEK 86 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, to SEK 87 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007. This increased is due to a higher yield from passenger tickets marginal and increased number of passengers.

Concordia AB, Group Concordia Nordic AB, have sold all their shares in Interbus AB, coach hire, to Strömma Turism & Sjöfart AB, with possession day on 4 of December.

Other revenues amounted to SEK 56 million for the quarter ended February 28, 2007 and SEK 26 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. Other revenues largely consist of sales of diesel fuel and maintenance and repair services to third parties.

Gain on Sale of Fixed Assets

The net of  loss and gain on our sale of fixed assets is comprised of sales of buses and other assets held by Nordic. Loss on sale of fixed assets was SEK 15 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to a gain on sale of fixed assets of SEK 1 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. We realised SEK 16 million in cash on the sale of 41 buses during the quarter, giving a net loss on sale of SEK 15 million.

Operating Costs

Operating costs consist primarily of personnel costs (which includes wages, salaries, social security fees and pension costs of bus drivers, mechanics and other employees), fuel, tires and other consumables costs, and other external costs, which include depot costs and head office administrative costs. Operating costs also consist of operating lease charges. Operating costs increased by SEK 61 million, or 5%, from SEK 1,226 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006 to SEK 1,287 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007. This increase is due to a number of factors, which are explained below.

Fuel, tires and other consumable costs decreased by 9 % or SEK 29 million, to SEK 283 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007 from SEK 312 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. The decrease was largely due to an decreased in fuel prices of SEK 8 million and decreased fuel costs of SEK 5 million as a result of lost traffic contracts and selling of Interbus AB. Our average fuel price for the three months was SEK 7.26 per liter compared to 7,68 per liter for the same three months last year.

There has been a 2 % increase in personnel costs, by SEK 16 million to SEK 664 million, for the three months ended February 28, 2007 from SEK 648 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This was offset by an increase in salary costs of approximately SEK 13 million and due to new contracts.

Operating lease charges increased by SEK 41 million to SEK 140 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007  from SEK 99 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This increase was principally a result of increase lease

charges for buses from Concordia Bus Fleet AB. The total number of buses under operating leases was 2,031 as of February 28, 2007 compared to 1,596 as of February 28, 2006.

Other external costs increased 20 % by SEK 33 million, to SEK 200 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007  from SEK 167 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006.  This is mainly due to decreased in damage cost, SEK 6, and increased of provisions of SEK 2 million and increased other costs of SEK 23 million, this was offset by decreased costs due to the financial restructuring last year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization charges comprise principally depreciation of buses and other vehicles but also relate to depreciation of tools, fixtures and fittings, buildings and computer equipment.

Depreciation and amortization costs decreased by SEK 10 million from SEK 86 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006 to SEK 76 million for three months ended February 28, 2007, mainly as a result of reduction of buses in the fleet that we own. Added to this, a change in accounting principles, goodwill is no longer amortized, has resulted in decreased amortization of SEK 3 million. Number of owned units as of February 28, 2007 was 1,472, compared to 1,801 as of February 28, 2006

Operating profit/loss

Operating loss decreased by SEK 107 million from a loss of SEK 131 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006 to a loss of SEK 24 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007.

Operating profit from bus operations for public authorities increased by SEK 99 million from an operating loss of SEK 103 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, to an operating loss of SEK 4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007, due to new contracts.

Operating profit from express bus services increased by SEK 1 million from a gain of  SEK 2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, to a gain of SEK 3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007, Due to a higher yield from passenger tickets marginal and increased number of passengers.

Concordia AB, Group Concordia Nordic AB, have sold all their shares in Interbus AB, coach hire, to Strömma Turism & Sjöfart AB, with possession day on 4 of December.

Head office items and others decreased by SEK 1 million from SEK 24 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, to SEK 23 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007.

Financial Income and Expenses

Financial income and expenses includes interest income from cash and cash equivalents and interest expense from bank loans. Financial income and expenses increased by SEK 25 million to a net financial expense of SEK 53 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007 from SEK 28 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This result can be primarily attributed to foreign exchange loss of SEK 20 million this quarter, compared to a foreign exchange gain of SEK 7 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006.

Taxes

The standard rate of taxation in Sweden is 28%. The effective tax rate for the twelve months ended February 28, 2007 was 0 %.

Full year ended February 28, 2007 compared to the full year ended February 28, 2006

The following section provides an analysis of our results of operations between the actual numbers for the year March 1, 2006 - February 28, 2007 as compared with year March 1, 2005 - February 28, 2006.

Revenues

The increase in revenue is principally due to new contracts of SEK 453 million and increase volume in existing contracts of SEK 123 million. This was offset by a lost of contracts, which provided a decreased of SEK 331million and increased prices in existing contracts of SEK 174 million.

Revenues from express bus services  are similar for the period, SEK 364 million for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006 and SEK 365 million for the twelve months ended February 28, 2007. This is due to a higher marginal yield from passenger tickets and a decreased of number of passengers.

The net effect was largely due to an increase in fuel volume due to new contracts, SEK 19 million and a increase price difference in volume, SEK 21 million and positive effects from selling Interbus AB.  Our average fuel price for the twelve month period was SEK 7.79 per liter compared to SEK 7.58 per liter for the same period last year. In addition, costs for maintenance, tyres and washing and cleaning decreased by SEK 4 million, compared to the the twelve months ended February 28, 2006.

Other external costs increased by SEK 110 million to SEK 732 million for the twelve months ended February 28, 2007 from SEK 622 million for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006. This was mainly due to increased release of provision of SEK 24 million and decreased of provision for loss contracts SEK 24 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

This is mainly due to a lower number of buses in the fleet that we own. The number of owned buses as of February 28, 2007 was 1,472, compared to 1,801 as of February 28, 2006. Added to this, due a change in accounting principles, goodwill, is no longer amortized at SEK 14 million

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In connection with the restructuring of the Concordia group of companies that was agreed to on July 22, 2005, holders of an aggregate principal amount of €159,855,000 of Bus’  Subordinated Notes exchanged their Subordinated Notes for equity in Bus, on October 4, 2005.  On December 12, 2005, holders of an aggregate principal amount of €87,000 of Subordinated Notes accepted a change of control offer made by Bus.  Currently, only €58,000 in aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes remains outstanding.  Also in connection with that restructuring, Concordia Bus AB incurred a €45,000,000 liability under a mezzanine facility that it entered into on July 22, 2005 (the “Mezzanine Facility”) in order to pay for the restructuring and to strengthen the group companies with additional capital.  On January 23, 2007 the Mezzanine Facility was paid off in full. In addition to the principal of €49,824,748 and interest of €551,109 Bus paid €5 175,795 in prepayment premium. The prepayment was funded by a share issue of Redeemable Preference Shares in Bus of SEK 510 million on December 22, 2006.

Nordic’s liquidity requirements arise primarily from its need to fund lease payments, purchase buses, service its own debt obligations under its 9.125% €130,000,000 Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (the “Senior Notes”) , fund its working capital requirements and expand its business.  As of February 28, 2007 Nordic’s net debt obligations to Bus amounted to SEK 230 million.  Nordic’s own debt obligations are mostly comprised of its obligations in connection with the Senior Notes.  As of February 28, 2007 Nordic had total net indebtedness to third parties of SEK 939 million after deducting its cash balance of SEK 265 million. Nordic’s interest expense for the twelve months ended February 28, 2007 was SEK 140 million.

Furthermore, as Nordic is a holding company, its principal asset is its investment in its subsidiaries.  It conducts no business or operations except through direct and indirect subsidiaries.  The ability of Nordic’s subsidiaries to make funds available to it is subject to, among other things, applicable corporate and other laws and restrictions contained in agreements to which such subsidiaries may be subject.  It is also subject to Nordic’s subsidiaries’ ability to generate cash in the future and their ability to generate distributable reserves or other funds available for that purpose.  Nordic’s substantial indebtedness, together with the restrictions imposed on it by the indenture for the Senior Notes, could also affect its ability to make additional borrowings, dividend payments or investments and this could impair its liquidity or increase its need for additional capital.

Net cash used by operating activities was SEK 56 million for the year ended February 28, 2007, compared to negative cash flow of SEK 257 million for the year ended February 28, 2006. The main reason for the negative cash flow last year is payment of restructuring fees of a total of SEK 146 million. The remaining difference to last year is due to improved result from operations.

Net capex was positive SEK 19 million for the year ended February 28, 2007, compared to negative SEK 74 million for the year ended February 28 2006. Investments in vehicles and equipment was SEK 89 million and sales of fixed assets generated SEK 89 million in cash. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 0 million for the year ended February 28, 2007 compared to positive SEK 345 million for the year ended February 28, 2006.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed are:

·              Interest rates on debt;

·              Foreign exchange rates;

·              Fuel prices; and

·              Inflation.

The following risk management discussion and the estimated amounts are generated from analytical techniques as are forward looking statements of the market risk assuming certain market conditions occur. Our actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in the global financial markets.

Interest Rates

We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our lease debt. Based on the nominal value of the operational lease debt at February 28, 2007 of SEK 2,744 million, a 1% change in interest rates would increase lease charges by approximately SEK 27 million per annum. Senior secured notes outstanding at February 28, 2007 with a carrying value of SEK 1,204 million have been excluded from the above interest rate sensitivity analysis because they bear a fixed rate of interest.

Foreign Exchange

We are exposed to currency fluctuations on loans, primarily as a result of having to make interest payments in Euro on our senior note loan. We estimate that a 10% depreciation in the value of the Swedish Kronor against the Euro would increase our interest costs by approximately SEK 10.89 million per annum.

Fuel Prices

Nordic is also exposed to commodity price risk through its requirements for diesel fuel.  Diesel fuel is priced in the international commodity markets in US dollars. We purchase our diesel fuel requirements out of our operating revenue, which is largely denominated in Swedish Kronor. Therefore, we are exposed to currency fluctuation risk between Dollars and the Swedish Kronor. We currently have no hedges in place. Based on the current USD/SEK rate we estimate that a 10% depreciation in the value of the Swedish Kronor against the dollar would increase our diesel fuel costs by approximately SEK 11.74 million per annum.

Inflation

Inflation had no material impact on our operations during the twelve months ended February 28, 2007 or the twelve months ended February 28, 2006. However, due to the nature of our contractual business where cost increases are compensated through movements in agreed indices (elements of total inflation) we are subject to under-compensation due to a mismatch between our industry costs and our relative level of compensation from the indices which the local transportation authorities use to compensate us.

CONCORDIA BUS NORDIC HOLDING AB
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(All amounts in millions of SEK unless otherwise stated)

Organization

Concordia Bus Nordic Holding AB, together with its subsidiaries (“Nordic”), is a Swedish registered limited liability company, wholly owned subsidiary to Concordia Bus AB (Reg. No. 556576-4569, domiciled in Stockholm), which is the ultimate parent company.

The operations of Nordic consist of providing regular bus services under contract through its subsidiaries to transit authorities in Sweden, Norway and Finland. In addition to contracted services, Nordic also supplies extensive express bus services over major portions of Sweden, mainly in Gothenburg and Stockholm.

Accounting principles

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed for the Twelve months ended February 28, 2007 consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, with the exception that, regarding intangible assets, IAS 38, is followed.

Going concern

Concordia Bus AB is a Holding Company the sole assets of which are the shares in Concordia Bus Nordic Holding which, in turn, owns 100% of the shares in Concordia Bus Nordic. Concordia Bus Nordic has interest-bearing liabilities amounting to SEK 1,204 million, excluding future operational leasing commitments. Concordia Bus Nordic’s ability to pay interest and make loan repayments on the outstanding bond loan and other obligations is conditional on the underlying subsidiaries generating sufficient profits available for distribution and a cash surplus such that payment of interest and debt repayment is possible.  This also means that Concordia Bus AB’s ability to pay interest on profits being transferred from Concordia Bus Nordic and from Concordia Bus Nordic Holding to Concordia Bus AB.  It is evident from the consolidated income statement for Concordia Bus AB as per February 28, 2007 that profits from the underlying subsidiaries are insufficient to cover the parent company’s costs for the twelve months March 1— February 28, 2007. Improvments in profit generation during fourth quarter indicates that profit might become sufficient to cover the parent company´s costs in the future.

The group’s long-term ability to continue its operations is dependent on continued cost saving measures and on the group succeeding in future procurements, thereby improving cash flow and results from the operations.  The group’s reduced indebtedness provides an improved cash flow in the financing operation.  In addition, Concordia Bus and its subsidiaries are continuing to implement radical changes in the operational business as well as changes in the administrative structure and also certain changes in the company’s capital structure.  The group also sees signs of significant improvement in the compensation levels in new procurements with CPTAs.

Concordia Bus AB groups financial developments in this year have been stronger than anticipated, which cause the company to revise its financial outlook. This outlook has considered the current development in increased financial performance that displays additional favourable capabilities. The Business is expected to generate an increase in turnover, 5-10 % per year, for the full years ending 2008-2010. In the following two years the profit margin is expected to arise with 1-2 % per year. This is expect to result before tax closed to break-even for year ended February 2008 followed by a positive results before tax for the year thereafter. Concordia Bus AB Group will also in the future continue to improve its capital structure.
