PRELIMINARY IFRS QUARTERLY COMPARATIVE DATA FOR 2004

In this stock exchange bulletin, SysOpen Digia Plc presents its preliminary IFRS
(International Financial Reporting Standards) comparative data for the first,

bulleting of 11 February 2005, the company presented its opening IFRS balance
sheets for 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2004, comparative data for 2004 and the
key effects of the shift from the Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS) to IFRS.

SysOpen Plc will apply IFRS to its interim reports and financial statements for

This bulletin will show preliminary, quarterly comparative data for 2004 and the

The IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption standard and its allowances concerning mergers,
employee benefits and cumulative translation differences have been applied in the

the most recent IFRS standards. The reference column below refers to additional
information presented in this bulletin after the tables, and ends with a summary
of the key IFRS-compliant accounting principles affecting SysOpen Digia Plc.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

Since there seem to be no major differences between IFRS-compliant and FAS-
compliant cash flow statements, cash flow statements are not presented here.

Below are the references to the opening IFRS balance sheet reconciliation
statement and the 2004 comparative data:

a) Intangible assets are recognised and measured as required by IAS 38 and IFRS
3. Tangible assets and long-term financial assets are treated as required by IAS
16. The mutual real estate company shares included in long-term financial assets
are measured as required by IAS 31.
b) Deferred taxes, as required by IAS 12 Income Taxes.
c) Financial instruments under current assets are measured at fair value as
required by IAS 39.
d) Treasury shares are deducted from shareholders' equity as required by IAS 32.
e) Foreign currency changes, as required by IAS 21.
f) Finance leases, as required by IAS 17.
g) TEL defined contribution pension, as required by IAS 19.
h) Share-based payment (stock options), as required by IFRS 2.

SUMMARY OF THE KEY IFRS-COMPLIANT PRINCIPLES AFFECTING SYSOPEN PLC

SysOpen will prepare its financial statements for 2005 in compliance with IFRS
(International Financial Reporting Standards) and adjust the FAS-compliant
comparative data for 2004 to correspond to IFRS.

TANGIBLE ASSETS

Tangible assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation.  Depreciation is
based on the asset's estimated useful life.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets include software licences recognised at cost and amortised on a
straight-line basis over five years.

Intangible assets include product-development projects, provided they meet the
criteria set for intangible assets and the amortisation period was still running
on 1 January 2004. Materials and services and wages, including social expenses,
are recognised as expenses as incurred. When an asset is ready for use, it will
be amortised over its useful life. The value of product-development projects came
to EUR 286 thousand on 1 January 2004.

Consolidated goodwill and goodwill are included in intangible assets. Instead of
amortising goodwill amounts, they are subject to an impairment test on the
balance sheet date.

IMPAIRMENT

An impairment test should be performed yearly for tangible and intangible assets
in order to assess whether there is an indication of impairment. Whenever an
indication of impairment exists, the asset's carrying value is compared with its
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment did not
occur for the opening balance sheet nor for the financial year 2004.

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Financial assets are measured at fair value and the appreciation or depreciation
is entered under shareholders' equity.

INCOME RECOGNITION

Work performed for contracts is recognised as income using the percentage-of-
completion method, and maintenance fees over the contract period. Construction
contracts are recognised as income using the percentage-of-completion method.
Percentage of completion is measured on the basis of the costs incurred and the
estimated total costs.

PENSIONS

Pensions are funded through payments to pension insurance companies. Based on the
defined contribution plan, pension contributions are included in personnel
expenses under the income statement and constitute net periodic costs for the
year in which they are due. Under the defined benefit plan, pensions are based on
periodic actuarial calculations.

The value of defined benefit pension plans came to EUR 214 thousand on 1 January
2004.

Based on changes approved by the Finnish authorities in December 2004, the
disability pension portion included in the TEL pension contribution is treated
under the defined contribution plan on the IFRS balance sheet of 31 December
2004, whereas it is treated under the defined benefit plan on the balance sheet
on the IFRS adoption date. The effect of this change on the pre-tax profit for
the period is EUR 214 thousand.

STOCK OPTIONS

SysOpen Plc applies IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment, to its stock options granted
after 7 November 2002 and whose subscription period has not begun before 1
January 2005. Such stock options are measured at fair value on the date of issue
and recognised as expenses during the period they are exercised.

PROVISIONS

SysOpen Plc recognises provisions when the Group has a legal or constructive
obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of
the amount can be made.

TAXES

Income tax expenses include current tax, adjusted tax for previous years and
deferred tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on
differences between taxable values and their IFRS-compliant book values, using a
tax rate determined by the balance sheet date. Modification of the tax rate has
been taken into account from June 2004.
