So good morning, everybody, and welcome to this report of our Q2 to result in AcadeMedia. And today, of course, as you all have heard, Sweden wakes up one more day with sadness and sorrow. What wasn't allowed to happen has happened. What we sometimes thought about and prepared for and hope that we didn't have to use has now happened. And even today, we mourn and we think of all the affected of the terrible things that has happened in Orebo.

AcadeMedia has an extensive operation in Orebo with both secondary schools, primary schools, and adult activities. And what we know so far, nobody of our teacher and student has been affected. But security has always been important for AcadeMedia and we had our first training for all our schools in 2016 and all our school has prepared for this. But this will, of course, affect the schools in Sweden the coming time and year.

But today we also report the quarter two result of AcadeMedia. And even if this is sad times, we are very proud of what we have achieved in AcadeMedia the time
