CEO's comments In 2009, MSC focused on profitability

over growth. This meant, among other cost savings in terms of reduction of personnel and an end to recruitment. Despite weak demand MSC had a good coating of its consultants and related profitability in the first three quarters of the year. It was disturbing that a number of redundancies in the second half which led to decreased revenues and thus a worse performance in the fourth quarter. Recruitment is now in full swing but it will take a few quarters before we have compensated for the consultants have left. Demand during the year evolved from weak to growing as has been evident in the fourth quarter. The greatest demand has come from banking and financial sector in terms of testing and test management, project management and development services. In 2010, the MSC to invest in recruitment to ensure the delivery capacity as is necessary to meet the increasing demand we now see. Overall, this means that the prospects for growth and profitability in 2010 is uncertain.
