Considerations under discussion for the close of full year results for the year-ending 28 February 2005

Bus and Nordic are currently considering setting up a reserve to cover certain financial items resulting from a change in accounting principles and relating to the potential Balance Sheet restructuring envisaged by the Financing Indicative Terms. The potential reserve would, if implemented, cover one off adjustments of the P&L and Balance Sheet and expenses relating to the Balance Sheet restructuring. The one off adjustments of the P&L and Balance Sheet will have no cash effect on the preliminary P&L and Balance Sheet provided in this release.

Key Assumptions

During on going restructuring discussions with stakeholders certain assumptions relating to key business drivers have been provided by the Company and its subsidiary, Concordia Bus Nordic AB. These assumptions were:

1. 418 of the buses operated by Nordic were up for tender in FY2005. Nordic was successful in winning 221 buses in tendering during FY2005.

2. The effect of these tender results will have a significant impact on revenues in 2006. After 2006 the assumption is that future costs will grow by approximately 2.5% per annum for the next 5 years, subject to successful contract renewal, and revenues on existing contracts will grow by approximately 2.5% per annum for the next 5 years, and that any deviations in revenue development are assumed to be compensated by efficiency improvements. An additional improvement in revenues is expected from improved indexation on new contracts.

3. It is assumed that from 2007 the Group will maintain its market share and consequently will maintain an appropriate bus fleet.

4. As a result of the adverse tender results in the years ended February 2004 and 2005, EBITDAR margins are not likely to improve in the year ended February 2006, however EBITDAR margins will improve thereafter by approximately 0.6-1.1% annually over the next 5 years as a result of entering into new contracts which have replaced older less profitable contracts.

5. Nordic anticipates that as the business situation stabilises there will be an improvement in working capital equating to approximately 1 day’s working capital unwind.

Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States other than pursuant to registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration.
