ILARI KOSKELO, CEO:
The first nine months of 2008 were challenging for the company, but we succeeded
in generating a positive operating result. After heavy restructuring expenses,
the income statement indicated an operating profit of EUR 0.2 million.
During the third quarter the Dovre division increased its operating result by
103% and the Camako division by 55% compared to the reference quarter 2007. The
operating expenses of the Group administration also decreased. At the same time
we managed to grow the net sales by 18%. The cash flow from operations was
positive EUR 0.5 million.
The third quarter profit is representative of the current state of the Proha
Group. Cost structure improvements have produced good results in Finland. The
cost improvement program in Norway started later than in Finland, and we have
not yet seen its full impact.
The management estimates that the restructuring program will improve the profit
margin for the company until mid 2009 compared with the respective reference
period. Further improvements in the profit margin after this time need to be
based on higher business operating margins and other improvements in efficiency.
The current economical outlook presents challenges also for the Proha Group.
However, Dovre's long term customer contracts bring stability to the operations.
We also believe that recruiting problems will be alleviated by a likely increase
of professionals becoming available in the labor market. Professional project
management services bring cost efficiency for our customers in good economic
times, but even more so during the downturns of the economy. We will continue
implementing strong and timely decisions to improve the organization and its
processes.

PROHA PLC'S REVISED STRATEGY
On March 30, 2008 the Proha Board of Directors approved the revised strategy for
the Proha Group. The revisions to the strategy aim at improving profitability
and aligning the Group structure to better meet the market needs.
IFRS REPORTING
The Group's primary segment reporting is based on business segments. The
reporting structure of Proha was adjusted by placing Norwegian Safran Software
Solutions AS under the Dovre division. The remaining units of the previous
Safran Systems division were renamed Camako. The reporting structure of the
Group has been altered in accordance with the new divisional structure so that
Dovre, Camako and other operations constitute separately reporting business
segments. Other operations consist of the Proha administration. The figures for
January 1 - September 30, 2008 together with the comparative data are presented
according to the before mentioned business segments.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Dovre division:
On June 3, 2008, Otto Søberg was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the
Dovre division.
The third quarter of 2008 has to a large extent shown the same trend as the
first half year, which was a robust period. Dovre has continued to serve the
larger international clients in the oil & gas sector, but has also seen growing
interest from smaller companies in the market, especially within power plant
owners.
In Dovre North America, the international operations of major oil companies
continue to be the focus area for the division's US activities. The Canadian
operations have gained several new customers in East Canada while business in
Alberta continues brisk. The third quarter continues to show the same trend with
growth both within the North American markets and in the international markets.
During the first two quarters of the period under review, Dovre finalized a
two-month training course within contract management for 30 managers in a large
international oil & gas company. In addition, nine major project management
consulting projects were commissioned within the public sector. Also several new
agreements regarding public procurement were signed outside the oil and gas
industry.
Overall, Dovre with its resources has served the clients in 25 countries for the
last two years. The company intends to refine its international operations and
grow the business progressively.
Safran Software Solution AS in Norway has continued to develop its business
positively with new customers for Safran products and existing customers
purchasing additional licenses and maintenance agreements. During the period
under review, two new distribution agreements were signed in the USA through
Safran North America LLC. In addition, four new resellers as well as three new
services and technology partners, and several new customers were acquired.
Safran Software Solutions AS is in the process of becoming a fully integrated
part of Dovre, giving the company increased potential synergy effects both
internally and externally in the market.
Dovre has in the third quarter renewed its organization structure based on the
revised strategy. Dovre will become more transparent and will have clear areas
of responsibilities related to deliverables to the market. Dovre intends to move
up in the value chain in all of its business areas. In the last quarter of 2008
Dovre will introduce the Dovre Campus, which will deliver courses and training
programs for the professional market.
The markets show some hesitation related to the crisis in the financial markets,
but Dovre still expects to see a demand for its products and services both in
the short and long term. Dovre still considers the market for recruitment of
professionals to be challenging. At the same time, however, it is foreseeable
that a slight tendency for increased unemployment in other industries will
create an opportunity for Dovre to recruit highly capable professionals.
Camako division:
Timo Saros was appointed the Chief Operating Officer of the Camako division on
May 7, 2008.
The Camako division's organization has been structured to reflect the revised
Proha strategy announced in the second quarter. Camako Nordic Oy was formed and
it owns Datatron Oy, Datamar Oy and Camako Data AB.
Camako Nordic is responsible for creating the new Camako brand and the product
development of the newly named Camako EPM solution (formerly SafranOne).
Datatron Oy was renamed Camako Finland Oy in August and Proha purchased the
remaining shares of stock at the end of the period under review.
The new Camako PM3 service offering was launched in August. Camako PM3 service
combines the following: 1) Project management processes - auditing, development
and documentation; 2) Project management tools - selection, implementation and
support; and 3) Project personnel - training, improvement of the skills both
regarding the processes and tools as well as outsourcing skilled staff to raise
the maturity and skill level of the customers.
In Finland the demand for Microsoft EPM systems and related services has
continued to grow according to the projections. The increase in Camako Finland's
service business has been faster than the increase in the market.
During the period under review, Camako signed a significant agreement for the
division on specification, development, testing and implementation of a cost
management module for investment projects using Camako EPM technology. The
introduction of the new module is estimated to take place early 2009.
Other operations:
Proha Plc has initiated the voluntary liquidation process of its subsidiaries DA
Management Solutions Oy and Tietovaruste Oy NPM by June 17, 2008. The
subsidiaries subject to liquidation currently have no active business.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The demand in oil and gas sector together with the level of investments in the
sector impacts the success of the Dovre division. The companies operating in the
oil and gas industry are challenged also by the adequacy of resources and
increasing personnel turnover.
According to the revised strategy, Dovre division will offer its customers
deliverables with a higher level of content and value added services than
earlier. The risk taking is being mitigated and will be reflected in pricing of
the services. The company has also a considerable unused market potential and it
plans to enter new market segments to diversify and grow the overall business.
The business operations of the Camako division will be affected by the
competitive market in general and by new technological solutions developed by
the competition. In addition, the instability in the financial sector may weaken
companies' capabilities in some market segments to start new significant
investment projects, and thereby, reduce the demand on improvements and
development of the project management.
Microsoft is projecting the growth of its EPM business to continue at the same
level as in the prior years. The growth enables also an increase in Camako's
enterprise project management services. This in turn requires successful
recruitment of skilled professionals.
The development of Proha's international business includes also possible
acquisitions and shareholdings in companies operating in the field. Such
acquisitions always include risks. They are being managed, among others, by
ensuring that the size of acquisitions is reasonable.
EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD
In October, Proha has divested its 51% ownership in Futura One Oy and has
acquired the remaining 10% of the shares of Datamar Oy, bringing Proha ownership
in Datamar Oy to full 100%. The transactions have no substantial impact on the
result of the year 2008.
OUTLOOK
Proha projects a positive operating result for the fourth quarter and also
anticipates a positive operating result in 2008 despite of the restructuring
charges that materialized in the second quarter. If the global finance crisis
and the general economical uncertainty continue, it may, however, affect Proha's
operations negatively.
Proha's organizational changes and enhancements of operations are advancing as
planned.
The positive market outlook for Dovre is anticipated to continue but at a slower
pace. The level of investments within the oil and gas industry will be
influenced by the development of oil & gas prices, introducing an uncertainty to
the market situation.
Dovre believes the demand for professional services to remain at a satisfactory
level in the fourth quarter and onward. Dovre has successfully revised its
business models and management practices and the management believes the company
can handle potential market fluctuations. Dovre's international business
activity is anticipated to grow steadily.
The latest versions of Dovre's Safran products are now in compliance with the US
market needs and requirements. The upgrade is expected to open up sales
potential in the USA for the next 12 months.
The Camako division's software business will not yet be profitable in 2008. The
newest version 4.0 of the Camako EPM software products now offers a seamless
integration with Microsoft Project software suite, and therefore, new business
opportunities are created within the existing Microsoft EPM services clientele
both in Finland and in Sweden. The new Camako PM3 offering launched in August
has been well received in the market, and the management believes it to deepen
the client relationships with the value added services.
The above prospects are based on forecasts approved by the Proha Board of
Directors.

Camako Data AB
In October 2007 Proha acquired full ownership of the Swedish project management
IT consultancy company, Camako Data AB (Camako). Camako is consolidated in the
Proha Group financial statements beginning November 1, 2007.
The acquisition cost of Camako is estimated at EUR 1.1 million on September 30,
2008. The acquisition cost of Camako is composed of a fixed portion of
approximately EUR 0.7 million and of a potential additional purchase price that
is based on certain performance objectives. If all performance objectives are
met in full, the additional purchase price will total approximately EUR 0.4
million.
The fixed portion approximately EUR 0.7 million was paid in two installments
with approx. EUR 0.4 million paid at closing and approx. EUR 0.3 million in
January 2008.
The second installment approx. EUR 0.3 million of the fixed purchase price for
Camako Data AB was paid partly in shares by issuing 500,000 new Proha shares for
subscription by the seller. According to the terms of the purchase agreement the
subscription price of the shares is the weighted average price of Proha shares
in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki between January 22 - 28, 2008, i.e. EUR 0.26 per share,
totaling at approx. EUR 0.1 million. The total amount paid for the shares was
recorded in the fund for invested non-restricted equity. The remainder of the
second installment, approx. EUR 0.1 million was paid in cash. Two thirds of the
new shares include a sales restriction. For the first third it expired on
October 26, 2008. For the second third it will expire on October 26, 2009.
According to the estimates on September 30, 2008, the possible additional
purchase price would be approximately EUR 0.4 million and will be paid at the
latest in 2009 either in cash or in Proha Plc shares. The estimated additional
purchase price of approximately 0.4 million is included in the accrued
liabilities of the non-current liabilities in the Group balance sheet on
September 30, 2008.
Project Resource Solutions, Inc.
Proha's Canadian subsidiary Fabcon Canada Limited acquired full ownership of
Project Resource Solutions, Inc. (PRS) in November 2007. PRS is consolidated in
the Proha Group financial statements beginning November 20, 2007.
In November 2007, the fixed part of the purchase price CAD 1.2 million (approx.
EUR 0.9 million) was paid in cash.
In addition, the agreement contains an earn-out model that will pay the sellers
30% of PRS gross profits over the 36 months between November 20, 2007 - December
19, 2010. The acquisition cost of PRS is estimated at EUR 1.1 million both on
December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008. The acquisition cost of PRS is
composed of a fixed portion of CAD 1.2 million (approximately EUR 0.8 million)
and immediate related acquisition costs of EUR 30 thousand. Additionally, on the
date of acquisition EUR 0.2 million were recognized as adjustment to the
acquisition cost. The EUR 0.2 million adjustment to acquisition cost consists of
additional purchase price based on gross margin between November 20, 2007 and
December 31, 2008 and is based on the probability of the adjustment and that it
can be reliably defined. The estimated gross margin is based on actual earnings
development in November 20, 2007 - September 30, 2008 and on the budget approved
by the Proha Board of Directors for October 1 - December 31, 2008. Of the
estimated additional purchase price of approximately EUR 0.2 million is included
in the accrued liabilities of the current liabilities in the Group balance sheet
on September 30, 2008.
