MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS
As a whole, the first half of the year was excellent for Digia. During both the
first and second quarters the company succeeded extremely well in achieving its
key target of boosting the organic growth. Moreover, also second quarter's
operating profit improved markedly year on year.
While the market situation in the second quarter remained positive in Digia's
main business fields, the development of the world economy and its impact on
Digia's customers' investment propensity continues to create uncertainties.
Increased personnel costs continued to put strain on the company's profitability
in the second quarter and cost pressures will remain intense in the future.
Although employee turnover saw a slight decrease in the second quarter, it still
remains at a high level. However, Digia has succeeded well in its recruitments,
which is the key prerequisite for organic growth.
On 24 June 2008, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT DOCOMO announced their
intent to unite the Symbian OS operating system, S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) to create
one, open mobile software platform. According to Digia's estimates the announced
project will create new business opportunities to independent smartphone experts
such as Digia. Enabling more equipment manufacturers to develop smartphones on
the Symbian platform, the project offers Digia an opportunity to provide the
manufacturers with in-depth expertise.
Digia has implemented its internationalisation strategy in a controlled and
determined manner. Establishing a Digia unit in China is well underway, with the
first customer projects commencing in the third quarter. The Swedish and Russian
business activities have also reported expected successes.
Telecommunications
During the reporting period, the division's customer relationships developed
favourably and it enjoyed a high level of customer satisfaction, while making
efficient use of production capacity. During the second quarter, demand
temporarily weakened slightly but is still stronger than in the corresponding
period in the previous year.
The division has also further strengthened its delivery capacity by continuing
to pursue its active recruitment policy initiated in the previous financial
year. Recruitment is mainly focused in countries with lower cost levels.
In April, Digia opened a development unit in Chengdu, China. China offers very
favourable and strongly developing conditions for software development
activities, for instance from educational and infrastructure perspectives.
Chengdu is an especially rapidly developing area and many of Digia's customers
and partners have also located their operations in the Chengdu area. The launch
of operations in Chengdu will incur expenses during 2008 which have been taken
into account in targets and estimates for the company's financial development.
The release of the Symbian operating system to Open Source will in long term
create interesting development opportunities for Digia's business.
Finance and Services
Finance and Services increased its business during the second quarter, while its
profitability decreased year on year. This was caused by projects closing and
delays in the initiation of new major projects replacing them, as well as a
provision made for a fixed-price project. The division's invoicing rates saw an
improvement towards the end of the reporting period.
Demand in the public sector has remained healthy. In spite of the general
uncertainty prevailing in the finance sector, demand for the Finance division
remained relatively good.
Industry and Trade
Digia's ERP business launched a development project, targeted for the trade
sector and in particular for speciality goods industry, and has concluded new
delivery agreements with wholesale and industry customers. Expanding the ERP
supply in the public sector has also shown expected progress. In June, Digia
concluded an agreement with Medbit Oy, a provider for Varsinais-Suomi and
Satakunta Hospital Districts, on the delivery of an integrated system for
materials and purchasing.
For integration solutions, growth of net sales and profitability continued
positively. For its key customers, the company has expanded its operations which
now involve business process modelling, service-oriented architecture and
technical integration services. Investments made on sales are anticipated to
have a positive effect in the creation of new customer relationships.
New customers won for eBusiness solutions have enabled the attainment of
expected growth.
While second quarter market demand in Trade and Industry was satisfactory,
global economic trends are generating uncertainties for the autumn, which could
be reflected on the ERP market.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Digia's short-term uncertainties are related to any major changes occurring in
the company's core markets, the availability and cost of skilled personnel,
employee turnover and the impact of the unpredictable economic situation to
Digia customers' investment decisions. Furthermore, the growth in customer
project size and scope increases risks related to projects and their
profitability. A more detailed description of Digia's risk management is
provided in its annual report and on the company website.
PROSPECTS FOR 2008 AND COMPANY OBJECTIVES
Digia's main targets for 2008 are to continue strong organic growth while
maintaining the profitability at a good level. The target takes into account the
holiday season's impact weakening the third quarter's consolidated net sales and
profitability. Digia estimates that its organic growth will continue to
outperform the market average during the second half of the year.
The company's management focuses on customers, personnel and further
internationalisation of operations. The key short-term targets include organic
growth, expanding the company's service offerings, deepening customer
relationships and enhancing employee satisfaction. Furthermore, Digia will
continue to increase its operational efficiency while pursuing a strict cost
policy.
In the long-term Digia seeks primarily to concentrate on strengthening organic
growth. Digia renounced its revolving credit facility, announced on
9 November 2006, meant for financing possible acquisitions. By renouncing the
credit facility, the company will save over EUR 100,000 annually. While the
company is still able to execute strategically important acquisitions, reaching
the revenue target of EUR 200 million for 2010 as announced earlier is not
company's main focus. Instead, the company now focuses on organic growth of the
businesses by developing current competencies and products, with an aim to
improve profitability, earnings per share and the balance sheet figures.
In order to enhance its operations, Digia has initiated an organisational reform
project which will lead to the integration of the company's sales, product and
service range and competencies. The Group's sales and marketing is headed by
Antti Lastunen, who took up his duties at Digia on 16 June 2008, leaving SAP
Finland Ltd. Mr. Lastunen is also appointed as a member of Digia's Management
Group. The company's product and service range and its development including
competencies are, similarly, managed in a centralised manner. Digia expects to
complete the necessary preparations for the reorganisation by the end of
September. The organisational reform aims to further enhance the use of the
company's resources, increase the invoicing rate and, thus, improve
profitability.

The table below shows goodwill and values subject to testing, by business
segment, at the end of the reporting period:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Group total | 13,395 | 1,050 | 89,649 | 10,822 | 113,866 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present values are determined on the basis of actual operating profit and
five-year forecasts by the CGU, with growth varying between three and five per
cent and the operating margin between 10 and 12 per cent.
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 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
Telecommunications requires average annual long-term growth of around two per
cent in its net sales and an operating margin of 10 per cent before amortisation
of intangible assets. The amount of goodwill for Finance and Services requires
average annual growth of two per cent for business operations and six per cent
profitability before amortisation of intangible assets. The amount of goodwill
for Industry and Trade requires average annual long-term growth of two per cent
in its net sales and an operating margin of nine per cent 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 recoverable amount. Consequently, in the
management's view, there is no need to recognise impairment losses.
The Group's cash flow from business operations for the period was positive by
EUR 11.1 million (1-6/2007: positive cash flow of EUR 4.3 million), cash flow
from investments was negative by EUR 4.1 million (1-6/2007: negative EUR 1.2
million) and cash flow from finance was negative by EUR 2.9 million (1-6/2007:
negative EUR 1.8 million). Cash flow from investments was negatively influenced
by the acquisition of Sunrise Resources Ltd, with a negative effect of EUR 2.8
million. Cash flow from finance was negatively affected by the acquisition of
own shares, with a negative effect of EUR 0.8 million, and payment of dividends,
with a negative effect of EUR 2.0 million.
Gross capital expenditure during the period totalled EUR 1.3 million (1-6/2007:
EUR 1.0 million). Acquisitions of tangible fixed assets totalled EUR 1.0 million
(1-6/2007: EUR 0.6 million).
Return on investment (ROI) for the period stood at 13.1 per cent (12/2007:
9.4 per cent) and return on equity (ROE) was 13.8 per cent (12/2007:
8.9 per cent).
HUMAN RESOURCES, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
On 30 June 2008, the number of Group employees totalled 1,335, up by

(2007: 1,155). During the reporting period, the number of employees averaged
