BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Demand for documentation and visualization services provided by the Services
segment remained firm throughout the reporting period, while demand for
translation services remained strong.
The Systems segment's automation systems recorded a good order intake, reflected
in high net sales reported for the period. Demand for software deliveries also
remained at a sound level. The segment has extended its operations to cover not
only Europe and North America but also new market areas, the segment seeing
orders from Asia and Russia.
The Health Care segment showed firm demand for tonometers, especially the
TonoVet used in veterinary medicine. An application for an FDA (Food and Drug
Administration) license to sell iCare tonometers in the USA, submitted by Tiolat
Oy in December 2006, is pending. The segment's net sales growth rate during the
rest of 2007 depends on how quickly the sales license application process will
proceed and new markets open.

firm, it is predicted that the segment will post higher net sales than in 2006.

focus on sales and expanding markets. The net sales growth rate depends on how
quickly the sales license application process will proceed and new markets open.
