CEO Pekka Eloholma comments the first quarter 2007:
"I am very satisfied with the developments in first quarter. Our net sales
grew by 68%. The quarter was the best in two years regarding both net sales
and operating profit."
"Our net sales grew to 17.6 MEUR (10.4 MEUR). The growth was especially strong
in Baltic (108%), but it was also good in Finland (18%). The acquisitions done
in late 2006 (ZenPark & Intellibis) created a good foundation for growth, but
also the organic growth was significant (approx. 24%). The quarter had good
profitability and EBIT was 2.0 MEUR i.e. 11% of net sales. Profitability
improved especially in the Baltic. The order backlog remained at a strong
level."
"The demand for our solutions has remained good in Finland. The Baltic
business has grown significantly and during the quarter we increased our
Baltic delivery capacity by hiring approx. 20 new employees. The Swedish
business has also developed positively and the demand for Business
Intelligence solutions is expected to remain strong also during the remaining
part of the year."
"Positive development is expected to continue during year 2007. Based on the
recent acquisitions and good order backlog the company seeks to reach net
sales of approx. 70 MEUR in 2007. The profitability is also expected to
improve from year 2006. The second quarter is estimated to be clearly better
than Q2/2006."

of the depreciation is related to Nordic segment. In year 2006, such
depreciation totaled 0.4 MEUR. In year 2007, such depreciation is estimated to
amount to 1.2 MEUR.
The profitability developed positively during the first quarter both in
Finland and in the Baltic countries. The profit in Baltic improved
significantly thanks to good resource utilization rate. The profit improved
also in Finland although the redesign of the company's visual identity
burdened profit to some extent.

FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
At the end of the reporting period, Affecto's balance sheet totaled 80.2 MEUR
(Q1/2006: 61.8 MEUR). Significant part of the growth is due to the acquisition

Sales Director in Finland and as a member of the group management team as of 7
March 2007.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Finland
Net sales in Finland was 9.8 MEUR (8.3 MEUR) and it increased by 18%. EBIT was
0.9 MEUR (0.6 MEUR). The year has started somewhat better than the previous
year. The business developed steadily during the quarter and the demand for
our services was reasonably good and was increasing especially regarding BI
services. The unit prices of consultant work have remained stable or even
slightly increased. The redesign of the company's visual identity burdened
profit to some extent.
The employees of ZenPark, acquired in September 2006, located in the Helsinki
area moved in January to the Pitäjänmäki office in Helsinki in order to be in
the same premises with other employees. ZenPark will be juridically merged to
Affecto Finland Oy in June 2007.
We have aimed to increase the number of employees during the period, but
recruiting of competent people is rather slow.
The growth of IT services market in Finland is rather slow, but the growth of
our segments (BI, ECM, GIS) is expected to exceed the average market growth.
The customers' activity has continued to be good. We received new orders from,
among others, Nokia, ABB, SOK, VR and various ministries.
Baltic (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia)
The Baltic business mostly consists of projects related to large customer-
specific systems. Projects are typically larger and tender processes longer
than in Finland. The business is mostly classified to Operational solutions,
but also includes BI solutions.
The Baltic net sales grew 108% and was 4.6 MEUR (2.2 MEUR). Baltic EBIT was
1.0 MEUR (-0.4 MEUR). The business has developed very favorably compared to
last year, and the resource utilization rate and profitability is high in all
three countries. The steady continuing work on large projects has helped to
keep the utilization rate steadily high the whole period. The order backlog
has remained at a good level and offers stable resource utilization for the
next few months. During the period, new orders were received, among others,
from Unibet Software R&D, SOGAZ and Latvian State Revenue Service.
The company is actively recruiting more employees. During the first quarter,
the number of employees in Baltic grew by approx. 20. The Baltic countries
enjoy a high demand for competent workforce, which is predicted to increase
salary levels during the year. On the other hand, the rising salaries will
most likely also lead to increases in local project price levels, which will
help to compensate the rising salaries. EITO forecasts that the IT services
will grow by over 13% p.a. in the next few years in all three Baltic
countries.
Nordic
Affecto has expanded its business to the other Nordic countries by acquiring
Intellibis AB from Sweden in December 2006. Intellibis is the leading
specialised supplier of business intelligence (BI) solutions in Sweden.
During the first quarter the net sales was 3.3 MEUR and EBIT 0.4 MEUR. Year
ago, Affecto did not have business in Sweden. The business has grown by
approx. 15% compared to the net sales of Intellibis in 2006.
The business of Intellibis has developed positively during the early part of
2007. The price development has been positive and the utilization rate has
remained high. New customers like Fortum have been obtained and project
contracts with old customers like Folksam and Apoteket have been prolonged.
The delivery capacity has been increased by recruitments and we aim to
continue increasing number of employees during the year.
Business review by secondary segments
In the beginning of 2007 the secondary segments were modified by separating BI
(Business Intelligence), which previously was included in XBI, to its own
segment. GIS and ECM, which were included in XBI, were combined with
Customized solutions, which was renamed Operational solutions.
Business intelligence (BI) net sales grew by 197% and was 7.4 MEUR (2.5 MEUR).
The growth is largely explained by the acquisitions of ZenPark and Intellibis
in late 2006, but the also the organic growth has been good.
Customers' interest is increasingly focusing on larger solutions and
continuous service. Demand for BI services has continuously grown and the
utilization rate of project work improved compared to last year. Also the
public sector entities in Finland and Sweden show growing interest for BI
solutions. The research reports by various research companies speak about the
growing significance of BI as an IT investment target for organizations. For
example, Gartner expects the BI license market to grow by 10% p.a. during the
next few years. Recruiting competent new employees is challenging especially
in Sweden.
Net sales of Operational Solutions grew by 38% and was 8.3 MEUR (6.0 MEUR).
The growth is explained by the strong growth of the Baltic operations, where
large public sector projects continued steadily. The insurance solution
projects in South Africa and Sweden continued. The launched feasibility study
projects in Russia and Poland regarding TIA insurance solutions may later lead
to implementation projects in those countries. In Finland, the demand for
solutions was good and the utilization rate of project resources was good. In
addition, the co-operation with GIS software supplier ESRI was expanded by
founding an ESRI competence centre. The demand for services remained
moderately good in Baltic and in Finland.
Cartographic Solutions businesses net sales was 1.9 MEUR (2.0 MEUR). The
demand for digital geographic content and related services grew. The sales of
maps and other printed products was below last year, but we expect the demand
for consumer products to pick up for summer months along the normal annual
cycle.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
The company has two strong business lines: the strongest growth expectations
are focused on the growing business intelligence market but at the same time
the company wants to further strengthen its position in delivering demanding
and customer specific operational IT solutions.
The company aims to be the leading business intelligence solution provider in
the Nordic, Baltic and CEE regions. Furthermore, the company aims to be the
most competent and quality focused provider of geographic information systems
(GIS), enterprise content management (ECM) and other operational solutions in
selected industries and regions.
The growth target for the company for 2007-2009 is that net sales exceed 100
million euros in 2009. The growth target will be reached through organic
growth supplemented by acquisitions. At the same time the company seeks to be
one of the most profitable IT services company within its market region.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Positive development is expected to continue during year 2007. Based on the
recent acquisitions and good order backlog the company seeks to reach net
sales of approx. 70 MEUR in 2007. The profitability is also expected to
improve from year 2006. The second quarter is estimated to be clearly better
than Q2/2006.
The company does not provide exact guidance for net sales or EBIT development,
as single projects and timing of license sales may have large impact on
quarterly sales and profit.
