-Return on capital employed (ROCE) was -19.7 (+8.3)%.                           
-January-June earnings per share were EUR -0.23 (+0.05).                        
-Due to a weak order book in early 2009 and exceptionally low demand, Glaston   
 still expects 2009 net sales to fall short of the 2008 level. Due to the 
 reduced order book in the first quarter, third quarter net sales are expected
 to be low, and the July-September operating result is expected to be a loss.
