The invoicing of StoneGate(TM) products totalled 2.7 million euros during the second quarter reaching the highest level ever in the company's history. The growth of the sales of StoneGate(TM) products during the second quarter was 65 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year and in amount this growth was the biggest ever in the company's history. The growth of the sales of StoneGate(TM) products during the first half-year is roughly 35 per cent. At present the overall net sales are estimated to have grown annually roughly 30 per cent during the second quarter, while the corresponding growth during the first quarter was roughly 7 per cent. More detailed information will be given in the interim report. The company has earlier estimated that its annual overall net sales will be roughly 25 million euros (+/- 10%). Even though the sales of StoneGate(TM) products grew strongly during the second half-year, the growth of the sales did not fully meet the company's expectations. Based on this development and some uncertainties arisen in the timing of the materialization of certain larger projects, the company expects now, in deviation of its earlier estimate, its annual overall net sales to be roughly 21 million euros (+/- 10%). The corresponding net sales figure of last year was 17 million euros. This estimate is based on the present sales funnel and may change upward, if these larger projects will materialize during this year. The company's costs have clearly remained below the given forecast. The company has earlier estimated that its annual costs will be roughly 24,5 million euros (+/- 10 %). The new estimate for the annual costs is now roughly 23 million euros (+/- 10 %). The operating profit and the total result for the whole year is expected to develop favourably as stated earlier. Stonesoft will issue its Interim Report for the second quarter in July 31, 2007.
