Summary
- Consolidated net sales: EUR 30.8 million, down 2.6 per cent
- Consolidated operating profit: EUR 3.7 million, down 13.1 per cent
- Profitability (EBIT-%): 11.9 per cent (1-3/2008: 13.3 per cent)

In spite of the challenging market situation, the company managed to maintain
good profitability and strong positive cash flow as well as repay its debt as
planned during the period under review. Company estimates that the IT-market as
a whole shall during 2009 decline somewhat compared with 2008, which is going to
affect also Digia's current year turnover. Despite the reduction of demand
resulting from the general market situation the company believes to be able to
maintain its profitability on a good level during first half of 2009.

MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS
On the whole, the company's performance in the first quarter was in line with
plans. The company's targets for 2009 are to maintain good profitability and
strong positive cash flow and to reduce indebtedness. Progress towards these
targets in the first quarter measured up to expectations.
The uncertainty in the markets caused by the global financial crisis remained
strong during the reporting period and also impacted on demand for services
among the company's clientele. In spite of this challenging situation, the
company posted only a slight decline in net sales and the profitability of
operations in its main business areas remains good. Digia's new organisation -
ushered in at the beginning of the year - is up and running well, and the
company believes that the overhaul will enable it to harness its resources more
efficiently both in sales and project delivery activities.
The company has consistently implemented its moderate internationalisation
strategy. Business in China has grown and customer projects have progressed in
line with plans. Business development projects in Russia and Sweden have also
remained on track.
The company repaid a total of EUR 5 million in debt during the review period.
Further loan repayments of EUR 2 million were made after the end of the period.
Moreover, the Board has on 27 April 2009 decided on even further loan repayment
of EUR 8 million to be made during the ongoing quarter, whereafter the company's
loans will amount to a total of EUR 40 million.
Mobile Solutions:
The trend in the company's Mobile Solutions business was satisfactory during the
review period in spite of the challenging market. Cost-savings measures and
cost-effective functions enabled the company to maintain profitability at a
satisfactory level. Business operations in China grew as planned.
Enterprise Solutions:
The company's Enterprise Solutions business, serving a broad clientele, was
satisfactory during the review period. Business operations have remained on a
growth track in the trade and public administration sectors. On the other hand,
the challenging market has been reflected in demand for the company's services
in the finance and industry sectors. That said, the company has been able to
maintain a good overall profitability in Enterprise Solutions business by
upgrading operational efficiency.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The key risks and uncertainties of the company's business have remained
unchanged. Short-term uncertainties are related to any major changes occurring
in the company's core markets and the impact of the unpredictable economic
situation on Digia customers' investment decisions and their liquidity, and thus
also on the company's turnover and earnings. The lengthening of the recession
might weaken the financial positions of customers and lead to payment
difficulties, which could mean credit losses or the impairment of assets.
Indications already exist
that the financial situation has impacted on investment decisions and liquidity
in certain sectors. Furthermore, the growth in customer project size increases
the risks related to projects and their profitability.
CREDIT FACILITY 2009-2011
On 29 January 2009, Digia decreased its loans from EUR 55 million to EUR 50
million. In addition, on 3 February 2009, the company agreed on a new three-year
credit facility, replacing its previous outstanding loans in their entirety.
The new credit facility is financed by the banks Pohjola and Nordea as well as
by Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company. The facility covers a three-year,
bank-financed package of EUR 42 million and also the re-borrowing of employee
pension contributions totalling EUR 8 million. As part of the deal, the company
has agreed on terms concerning the maintenance of the company's financial
standing and liquidity. Digia's Board of Directors has also agreed with the
providers of finance to tighten its dividend policy during the years to come as
part of the financing package and its financing strategy; the company will,
during 2009-2011, distribute at most 15 per cent of the profit in dividends. The
previous policy had been to distribute about 30 per cent of the profit in
dividends. In addition, at its meeting on 3 February 2009, the Board of
Directors decided to terminate the share buyback scheme. A key element of the
refinancing package is to reduce the amount of loans during the loan period at
an annual rate of about EUR 6 million.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
Digia's main goals for 2009 are to maintain strong positive cash flow and good
profitability and to bolster its balance sheet by decreasing indebtedness.
The company will continue to pursue the conservative internationalisation of its
business operations and to increase business volumes in countries with
favourable cost levels.
It is expected that the uncertainty created by the global financial crisis will
continue and that it will impact on customers' IT investments in the latter half
of the year. The company estimates that the IT market as a whole will during
2009 decline somewhat compared with 2008, which is going to affect also Digia's
current year turnover. Despite the reduction of demand resulting from the
general market situation the company believes to be able to maintain its
profitability on a good level during first half of 2009.
Digia's long-term focus is first and foremost to strengthen its organic growth
and maintain good cash flow. The company will continue to develop its sales and
make outlays on actions to improve the cost-effectiveness of operations.

(1-3/2008: EUR 0.12).
The Group's net financial expenses for the reporting period were EUR 0.7 million
(1-3/2008: EUR 0.8 million).
FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
At the end of the reporting period, the Digia Group's consolidated balance sheet
total stood at EUR 153.9 million (2008: EUR 153.4 million) and the equity ratio
was 48.7 per cent (2008: 47.1 per cent). Net gearing was 45.2 per cent (2008:
52.8 per cent). Liquid assets at the end of the period totalled EUR 18.3 million
(2008: EUR 18.9 million), and interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 51.8
million (2008: EUR 56.9 million). Interest-bearing liabilities comprise EUR 50.0
million in loans from financial institutions, EUR 1.5 million in financial
leasing liabilities and EUR 0.3 million in product development loans.
Annual impairment tests in accordance with the IAS 36 standard are in current
situation applied per each quarter to goodwill and intangible assets with an
unlimited useful life.
As from 1 January 2009, the allocation of goodwill was changed in line with the
new segment structure. Goodwill is now allocated to Mobile Solutions and to
Enterprise Solutions.
The table below shows goodwill and values subject to testing, by business
segment, at the end of the reporting period:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| total | | | | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present values are determined on the basis of actual operating profit and
five-year forecasts by the CGU, with growth being three per cent and the
operating margin between 8 and 11 per cent. As regards the current year both
growth and profitability are, however, updated in the calculations to correspond
with the company management's view on the current market development.
Cash flows following the forecast period are estimated by extrapolating the cash
flows, using a steady net sales growth forecast of three per cent, with
operating profit estimated at 8-10 per cent of net sales. Discount rates have
been determined in view of the industry's general risk level, corresponding to
an annual interest rate of 11 per cent.
Net sales growth is reckoned to constitute the most critical factor in
calculating the present values of cash flows. The amount of goodwill for Mobile
Solutions requires average annual long-term growth of around two per cent for
business operations and 10 per cent profitability before amortisation of
intangible assets. The amount of goodwill for Enterprise Solutions requires
average annual growth of two per cent for business operations and seven per cent
profitability before amortisation of intangible assets.
Based on a reasonable estimate, any change in key variables used in calculations
during the reporting period would not lead to a situation in which the segment's
carrying amount would exceed its value in use. Consequently, in the management's
view, there is no need to recognise impairment losses.
The Group's cash flow from operations for the period was positive by EUR 4.9
million (1-3/2008: positive cash flow of EUR 6.1 million), cash flow from
investments was negative by EUR 0.3 million (1-3/2008: negative EUR 3.5 million)
and cash flow from financing was negative by EUR 5.2 million (1-3/2008: negative
EUR 2.5 million). Cash flow from financing was affected negatively by the
repayment of short-term loans in connection with the restructuring of loans,
with a negative effect of EUR 5.0 million.
The Group's total investments in fixed assets during the period totalled EUR 0.3
million (1-3/2008: EUR 0.6 million). The Group's investments in tangible fixed
assets were EUR 0.3 million (1-3/2008: EUR 0.5 million).
Return on investment (ROI) for the period was 12.0 per cent (12/2008: 11.3 per
cent) and return on equity (ROE) was 12.0 per cent (12/2008: 10.5 per cent).
HUMAN RESOURCES, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
At the end of the period, the number of Group personnel totalled 1,335,
representing a decrease of 2 employees, or 0.1 per cent, since the end of fiscal
2008 (2008: 1,337). During the reporting period, the number of employees
averaged 1,336, an increase of 22 employees, or 1.7 per cent compared to 2008
(2008: 1,314).
Employees by function at the end of the period:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS
Annual General Meeting on 10 March 2009
Convening on 10 March 2009, Digia Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) adopted the
financial statements for 2008, released the Board members and the CEO from
liability, determined Board emoluments, resolved to raise the number of Board
members to six (6), and elected the company's Board of Directors for a new term.
The AGM granted the following authorisations to the Board:
Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the payment of dividends
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide at its discretion, and when
the financial situation of the company favours it, on the payment of dividend
for 2008 such that:
The dividend shall amount to no more than EUR 0.05 per share;
The Board of Directors shall decide on the record date for the dividend and its
payment date, which can at the earliest be the fifth banking day from the record
date; and
The authorisation shall be valid until the beginning of the next AGM.
Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and granting of
special rights
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a rights issue or a
capitalisation issue and on granting option rights and other special rights as
set forth in Section 1, Chapter 10 of the Companies Act, subject to the
following conditions:
On the basis of the authorisation, the Board of Directors can decide on the
conveyance in one or more instalments of a maximum total of 4,000,000 own shares
held by the company;
The Board of Directors is also entitled to decide on the sale of own shares in
public trading. By virtue of the authorisation, the Board of Directors has the
right to decide on share issues and the granting of special rights, waiving the
pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders (directed issue);
The Board of Directors is otherwise authorised to decide on all terms relating
to the share issue, including the subscription price, its payment and its
recognition in the company's balance sheet; and
The authorisation replaces the authorisation granted by the Shareholders'
Meeting on 11 March 2008 and shall be valid for 18 months from the issue date of
the authorisation, i.e. until 10 September 2010.
Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the buyback of own shares
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the buyback of the
company's own shares subject to the following conditions:
A maximum total of 2,000,000 shares may be bought back in one or more
instalments;
The Board shall decide on how the shares are acquired. Own shares can be bought
back in disproportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The authorisation
also includes the acquisition of shares through public trading organised by
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy in accordance with its rules and instructions or through
offers made to shareholders;
The shares shall be acquired at the going price in public trading. The minimum
price of the shares to be acquired shall be the lowest quotation in public
trading while the authorisation is in force and correspondingly the maximum
price shall be the highest quotation in public trading while the authorisation
is in force;
Own shares can be bought back only with non-restricted equity. Share buyback
thus reduces the company's distributable funds;
The Board of Directors is otherwise authorised to decide on all terms relating
to the share issue; and
The authorisation replaces the authorisation granted by the Shareholders'
Meeting on 11 March 2008 and shall be valid for 18 months from the issue date of
the authorisation, i.e. until 10 September 2010.
During the review period, the Board of Directors did not take decisions on
exercising the authorisations.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Accounting principles:
The interim report has been drafted in line with IFRS. As from 1 January 2009,
the Group has applied the following new and revised standards: IFRS 8 Operating
Segments and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. In other respects, the
same accounting principles have been applied as in the 2008 financial
statements. The accounting principles and formulas for the calculation of key
figures are unchanged and are presented in the 2008 financial statements.
Seasonal nature of business:
The Group's business is affected by the number of workdays each month as well as
by holiday seasons.
Dividends paid:
No dividends were paid during the review period.
Interest hedge of bank loans:
On 31 March 2009, the Group had a total of EUR 42 million in bank loans that are
hedged with interest rate cap and floor agreements. The cap agreement covers
loan capital of EUR 25 million and the floor agreement covers loan capital of
EUR 12.5 million. The threshold interest rate is 5% and agreements that will
expire on 9 November 2009 have been valued at fair value. Hedge accounting is
not applied to the agreements.
Events after the balance sheet date:
On 14 April 2009, the company repaid a further EUR 2 million of its loans,
decreasing them to EUR 48 million.
The company paid the additional purchase price agreed for Sunrise Resources Ltd
- EUR 576,413 - after the end of the review period. Own shares totalled 198,080
and the share price applied was EUR 2.91 per share as set forth in the sale
agreement.
Segment information:
Since the beginning of 2009, a new organisation has been in force, merging the
company's sales, products, services and competencies. Digia's business
operations are now divided into two main business segments: Mobile Solutions and
Enterprise Solutions. The Mobile Solutions segment is divided into Contract
Engineering Services and User Experience Services. Enterprise Solutions is
divided into ERP and Financial Administration, Digital Services and Integration
Solutions.

| Digia Group | 4,228 | 3,739 | 2,556 | 2,916 | 13,437 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The profitability of Mobile Solutions is impacted by a credit loss provision of
EUR 0.8 million on accounts receivable from UIQ Technology Ab in the third
quarter, increased further by EUR 1.0 million in the fourth quarter. These
credit loss provisions thus have a total effect of EUR 1.8 million on
profitability in the second half of the year.
