\n\u2018In Q3 2007, the key product segments, namely the innovation demanding security products and the card production and personalisation have continued to rise. Regarding the document personalization service, we also count on growth on the long term, as our expanded equipment qualifies the Company for this. As the time requirements for preparation and fulfilment of given projects are different, their sales revenue and result does not occur in regular periods, which makes it difficult to compare the quarters. The market studies and our experience prove that the security printing market of the region will continue to develop, so we carry on our research & development and acquisition activities.\u2019<\/p>\n
