The operating profit in the contract traffic in Sweden was MSEK +39 (+18) in the second quarter and MSEK +93 (+85) for the first half of the year after three traffic contracts had expired and were discontinued at the beginning of the year pending the start-up of new replacement contracts during the second half of the year. The operating profit in contract traffic in Finland was MSEK -2 (-1) in the second quarter and MSEK + 4 (+2) during the first half of the year, due to strong growth in sales in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the operating profit was affected by low traffic volumes during the summer period. Contract traffic in Norway was positively affected by an improved index trend and improved efficiency, resulting in an operating profit of MSEK +4 (+1) in the second quarter and MSEK +11 (+3) for the first half of the year. The operating profit in contract traffic in Denmark continues to be affected by contract start-up costs and establishment of the organisation, resulting in MSEK -5 (-2) in the second quarter and MSEK -11 (-3) for the first half of the year. Sales growth of 25% for Express, long distance traffic during the second quarter and 20% for the first half of the year, due to an increased number of passengers, resulted in an operating profit of MSEK +26 (+18) in the second quarter and MSEK +29 (+18) for the first half of the year. The Group's operating profit for the period March August 2009 was SEK 111 million (SEK 85 million). Financial position The Group's financial position during the second quarter strengthened by SEK 59 million compared with the corresponding period of last year. The primary reason for the changes is exchange rate changes on Concordia Bus Nordic AB's bond loan of EUR 130 million, which resulted in an unrealized translation profit of SEK 56 million (SEK -13 million). Available cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 386 million (SEK 378 million). In addition, the Group had funds in escrow of SEK 149 million (SEK 118 million), primarily as security for tenders and executed traffic contracts. Taxes The Group's taxes comprise current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is calculated on taxable earnings for the year. Deferred tax is calculated based on temporary differences between the reported value and the taxable value of assets and liabilities, as well as tax on the Group's deficits for tax purposes. Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the applicable tax rate for each country. Deferred tax claims are reported only to the extent it is likely that these may be utilized against future taxable profits. The Group has large historical accumulated loss carry-forwards, which have not been valued as deferred tax claims; see other reference to the annual report. The parent company The parent company has eight (nine) employees who engage in overall Group management and treasury management. The parent company's earnings before tax were SEK 0 million (SEK 8 million) and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were SEK 56 million, of which SEK 37 million were funds held in escrow (SEK -34 million). Investments The Group's investments during the second quarter relate primarily to purchases of other fixed assets, SEK 47 million (SEK 5 million). Cash-financed investments for the period March August 2009 amounted to SEK 62 million (SEK 24 million). The Group, through its subsidiary, Concordia Bus Fleet AB, signed financial leasing agreements during the second quarter amounting to SEK 556 million (SEK 304 million) in acquisition value, corresponding to 301 (187) buses. The Group's financial leasing agreements have been classified as fixed assets in the balance sheet and the leasing undertakings have been reported as liabilities in the balance sheet. Depreciation and interest expenses are reported in the income statement. During the second quarter, the Group sold buses at a value corresponding to SEK 3 million (SEK 5 million), which equals 91 (91) buses. The sale has entailed a capital loss of SEK -2 million (SEK 1 million). For the period March August, the Group sold buses at a value corresponding to SEK 10 million (SEK 10 million), which equals 270 (131) buses. Sales during the period March August entailed a capital loss of SEK -2 million (SEK 1 million). Personnel During the period there were on average 6,201 (5,720) employees. In all countries in which Concordia Bus AB conducts operations, collective bargaining agreements are applied as agreed upon with the trade union that represents employees within the industry in which the relevant company operates. There are well-established practices and traditions as to the manner in which work times, compensation conditions, information and co-operation are negotiated and applied between employee representatives and the company. 5 av 15

Market development In contract traffic in Sweden, during the second quarter 47 buses out of 124 were defended in the tender in Halland, at the same time as the entire current traffic in Södermanland was defended + 5 buses. The outcome of the appeal of a previous tender in Skåne is still pending. In contract traffic in Finland, options were exercised extending 3 contracts covering 26 buses.in contract traffic in Denmark, a contract involving 21 buses was taken over from another operator following an agreement with Midtrafik.Two contracts, will be up for tender during the second half year FY 2009/2010. Risk management The Concordia Bus Group is exposed to interest rate risks associated with the company's financial and operational leasing. Leasing fees are based primarily on variable market interest rates. Interest rate risks are hedged from time to time through the use of interest rate derivatives. As per 31 August, 2009, the Group had no interest rate hedging contracts. The earlier refinancing risk has been eliminated as a consequence of the Group's old bond loan of EUR 130 million, maturing on 1 August 2009, being refinanced prior to maturity through a new 3-year bond loan with a nominal value of EUR 121.5 million; the new bond loan, too, was issued by the subsidiary, Concordia Bus Nordic AB. The conversion premium of 1% on the bond value is allocated over the term of the bond loan. The new EUR 121.5 M bond carries the same coupon rate as previously, i.e. 9.125%, with interest payment days being 1 February and 1 August each year. The main changes in the new bond documentation include, among other things, a mandatory repayment of 10% of the nominal value on 1 August each year. In addition, there is a possibility for voluntary repayment of an additional 10% of principal on 1 February each year, an enhanced possibility to raise another loan of MSEK 400 ranking pari pasu (with the same security) as the bond, and that previous security in the form of, among other things, pledged internal loans, is removed. The Concordia Bus Group is also exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on the bond loan. A 10 percent depreciation of the Swedish kronor results in an increased annual cost of SEK 11 million with respect to the interest payments on the bond loan. The substantial strengthening of the Swedish kronor since February 2009 has resulted in an improvement in the Group's earnings for the first half of the year, with an unrealized exchange rate profit from the strengthening of the exchange rate on the nominal amount of the bond loan. The Group's finance policy states that currency risks may be hedged through currency derivatives. As per August 31, 2009, the Group had no currency hedging contracts with respect to currency exposure on the bond loan. The Group is exposed to changes in the price of diesel through its purchases of diesel. Diesel is purchased on the international commodities market in US Dollars, entailing an implicit currency risk. Through its revenues indices in its CPTA contracts, the Group is compensated in part for changes in the price of diesel. Based on the estimated diesel consumption, an increase of USD 10 per ton in the price of diesel would increase the net diesel cost by SEK 1.2 million per financial year. As per August 31, 2009, the Group had entered into a diesel cap regarding 1,250 metric tons per month during the period May October 2009, i.e. in total 7,500 metric tons. This means that diesel consumption in the Swedish operations is hedged to approximately 90%, of which approximately 77% is covered through revenues indices in CPTA contracts. The real value of the diesel-cap, Msek 0,1 as per August 31.In addition, in June a diesel cap was signed in respect of the Norwegian subsidiary with respect to 500 metric tons per month for the period July December 2009, covering approx. 70% of consumption. The real value of the diesel-cap, Msek 0,3, as per August 31. Accounting principles Concordia Bus applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Accounting Standards Board's general guidelines regarding voluntary interim reporting (BFNAR 2007:1).

Concordia Bus AB currently has no organised trading in the shares on any exchange or market, and thus it is difficult for the company to establish a market value per share, hence the number of shares after dilution is not calculated. Since the company is unable to establish the market value, it cannot calculate any bonus issue element in the new issue, which might affect the average number of shares. 15 av 15
