second quarter than in the first. A total of EUR 15 million in interest-bearing

The company forecasts that general economic uncertainty will continue in the

up measures to improve cost-effectiveness in all subareas of its operations. The
company will also further increase its outlays on sales and business development
with a view to creating long-term growth. With these actions, the company
believes that it will maintain its profitability at a good level during the
second half of the year as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS
Uncertainty in the markets remained strong during the reporting period and also
impacted on demand for the company's services in all its main business areas, as
evident from the year-on-year decline in net sales. Second-quarter net sales
grew slightly compared with the first quarter.
In spite of the challenging market, the company had excellent success in
maintaining both good profitability in its operations and strong positive cash
flow during the entire reporting period. Second-quarter operating profit and
earnings per share grew compared with both the first quarter and the
corresponding period of the previous year. Both were at a very good level,
considering the current market conditions.
Thanks to its robust cash flow, the company was able to substantially reduce its
gearing ratio during the reporting period. The company repaid EUR 15 million in
long-term loans, after which interest-bearing liabilities stood at a total of
EUR 41.7 million.
During the reporting period, the company's international operations focused on
China. The operations of the Chengdu unit, which was opened last year, developed
in line with plans during the reporting period. In addition, the company opened
a new location in Beijing during the second quarter. These measures are geared
towards honing the cost-effectiveness and competitiveness of the company's
operations and expanding its current clientele.
Enterprise Solutions:
The company's Enterprise Solutions business maintained excellent profitability
during the entire reporting period and posted substantial year-on-year growth
thanks to the operational efficiency ushered in by the new organisation.
Requests for tenders from the public administration sector showed indications of
a slight recovery, particularly in the second quarter, but the market situation
in other business areas remains highly challenging. That said, in light of the
current conditions, the business operations of Enterprise Solutions are on a
solid footing overall, and the company expects the profitability of operations
to remain good in the second half of the year as well.
Mobile Solutions:
The net sales and earnings of the Mobile Solutions business declined compared
with the corresponding period of the previous year. The main reason for this
decline was the bankruptcy of a Swedish software company UIQ, which led to the
loss of net sales, which in the 2008 comparison period amounted to EUR 4.5
million. In addition, customers pushed back projects, which was reflected in the
net sales and profitability of the Mobile Solutions business during the
reporting period. However, the earnings of the Mobile Solutions business
remained satisfactory in spite of the challenging market. A positive development
seen in the second quarter was the increase in new requests for tenders for open
architecture solutions (LINUX). Business in China grew in Chengdu and on the
heels of the opening of the new location in Beijing.
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 impacts of the prevailing economic
recession on Digia customers' investment decisions and their liquidity, and thus
also on the company's net sales 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, liquidity and the pushing back of planned projects.
Furthermore, the growth in customer project size increases the risks related to
projects and their profitability.
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, making a concerted effort to seek opportunities for
enlarging and developing its product business. The company will continue to step
up its operations in countries with favourable cost levels, especially China.
The company expects that the general economic uncertainty will continue and
impact on customers' IT investments during the entire latter half of the year.
The company estimates that the IT market as a whole will decline somewhat during
2009 compared with 2008, impacting on the trend in Digia's net sales. Despite
the general decline in demand, the company believes that it will be able to
maintain its profitability at a good level during the second half of 2009,
accounting for the fact that personnel holidays typically weaken net sales and
earnings in the third quarter.
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.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
At the end of the reporting period, the Digia Group's consolidated balance sheet
total stood at EUR 145.1 million (2008: EUR 153.4 million) and the equity ratio
was 53.0 per cent (2008: 47.1 per cent). Net gearing was 37.9 per cent (2008:

In the current conditions, impairment tests in accordance with the IAS 36
standard are applied 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 Enterprise Solutions and to
Mobile Solutions.
The table below shows goodwill and values subject to testing, by business
segment, at the end of the reporting period:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Enterprise Solutions 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 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.
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. That said, from now on
particular attention will be paid to the trend in the business operations of
Mobile Solutions.
The Group's cash flow from operations for the reporting period was positive by
EUR 9.5 million (1-6/2008: positive cash flow of EUR 11.1 million), cash flow
from investments was negative by EUR 0.5 million (1-6/2008: negative EUR 4.1
million) and cash flow from financing was negative by EUR 15.2 million
(1-6/2008: negative EUR 2.9 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 impact of EUR 5.0 million, as well as
the repayment of EUR 10.0 million in loans in the second quarter.
The company paid the additional purchase price for Sunrise Resources Oy - EUR
0.6 million - with its own shares during the second quarter.
The Group's total investments in fixed assets during the reporting period
amounted to EUR 0.5 million (1-6/2008: EUR 1.3 million). The Group's investments
in tangible fixed assets were EUR 0.5 million (1-6/2008: EUR 1.0 million).
Return on investment (ROI) for the period was 13.4 per cent (12/2008: 11.3 per
cent) and return on equity (ROE) was 13.6 per cent (12/2008: 10.5 per cent).
HUMAN RESOURCES, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
At the end of the period, the number of Digia Group personnel totalled 1,367,

averaged 1,342, an increase of 28 employees, or 2.1 per cent compared to 2008
(2008: 1,314).

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 new or 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 share buyback; 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.
On the basis of the authorisations granted by the AGM, the Board of Directors
decided:
At its meeting on 10 March 2009 to convey own shares as the additional purchase
price agreed for Sunrise Resources Oy. The additional purchase price was EUR
576,413, which was paid by conveying 198,080 of the company's shares; and
At its meeting on 12 June 2009 to pay a dividend of EUR 0.05 per share on shares
not owned by the company to a maximum of EUR 1,024,289.55. The Board of
Directors decided to set 26 June 2009 as the record date for the dividend and 3
July 2009 as its payment date.

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. On 12 June 2009, the Board of
Directors resolved, in accordance with the authorisation granted by the Annual
General Meeting held on 10 March 2009, to pay a dividend of EUR 0.05 per share
for fiscal 2008 on shares not owned by the company to a maximum of EUR
1,024,289.55. The dividend was paid on 3 July 2009 to those shareholders who
were entered in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy (the
former Finnish Central Securities Depository Ltd) on the record date, 26 June
2009.
Interest hedge of bank loans:
On 30 June 2009, the Group had a total of EUR 32 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:
No major events occurred after the reporting period.
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: Enterprise Solutions
and Mobile Solutions. Enterprise Solutions is divided into ERP and Financial
Administration, Digital Services and Integration Solutions.
The Mobile Solutions segment is divided into Contract Engineering Services and
User Experience Services.
