We are delighted to report that 2007 proved to be another successful
year for the Jelmoli Group's operations. Record earnings for the year
at CHF 920.8 million were boosted by proceeds from the disposal of
dipl. Ing. Fust AG but underlying performance was most encouraging
and all the other areas of the Group's business markedly improved
their results.
