The Financial result in was a loss of HUF 1.3 billion, compared to a loss of HUF 1.5 billion in. In interest expenses decreased by HUF 577 million compared to as the EURIBOR prime rate was extremely low (around 0.8 in average) and last year the fair value of our Collar&Cap options adversely changed by HUF 97 million increasing the interest expenses by this amount.
