President and CEO, Kari Happonen:
The company's turnover continued strong growth throughout the review period and
exceeded, as expected, the turnover of the first 6 months of the previous year
by 50 percent. In addition to successful corporate acquisitions, the Group's
turnover for the period was boosted by strong pro forma organic growth, over 37
percent compared to 2006.
Like in the first quarter, both Business Units grew significantly faster than
market in second quarter. Thus, we have continued to win market share from our
competitors.
Due to the EUR 0.55 million one-off expenses in the first quarter, related to
the change of the company name and the revamping of the corporate image, our
operating profit percentage fell slightly short of the level of the same period
in 2006. However, without the one-off expenses our relative profitability was on
the same level as in the previous year and operating profit grew strongly, 57
percent.
We believe that both of our Business Units will continue to grow strongly in the
latter half of the year. Despite fast growth, the expected wage increases in
autumn and fierce price competition, we expect that we can keep our business
operations on a very good profitability level.
To support our new strategy, we acquired Mermit Business Applications Oy in May.
Founded in 1999, Mermit is a widely valued specialist company producing business
critical information system solutions and services. The acquisition
significantly strengthens our capability to deliver systems services projects
and enhances our delivery capacity of demanding specification, design,
architecture and integration services.
The personnel of Mermit Business Applications Oy comprises 65 highly educated
specialists in Espoo, Tampere and Turku. All employees moved to the Ixonos Group
with existing status and benefits. The services of Mermit cover systems and
technology consulting, architecture consulting as well as systems design and
specification.
Our annual customer satisfaction survey, which was published in June, once again
gave very positive feedback on our operations and the development work we have
done. Our customers value Ixonos' reliability and capability to take on agreed
responsibilities, business segment competence, as well as customer-specific
flexibility. The overall satisfaction with the services we offer is on a high
level and exceeds the maximum value of the reference data of Market-Visio, the
research company that carried out the survey. Our customers also expressed
stronger interest in more extensive cooperation with Ixonos. Since the free
replies indicated that our customers are especially pleased with the skills,
responsible attitude and service mindedness of the Ixonos professionals, I want
to congratulate our entire personnel for an excellent performance.
According to the survey, the customers have welcomed the change of the company
name, which was carried out in February. Feedback that we have received from
other sources shows that also other interest groups have appreciated the change.
And now we see that the company's new name and new identity have had a positive
impact on the corporate image, enhanced recruitment and strengthened the
commitment of the personnel, which can be seen, for example, as a decrease of
personnel turnover.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Market analysts estimate that the growth of the Finnish ICT service market will
be 4-6 per cent in 2007. If private companies and public administration
organizations increase, even moderately, their investments to upgrade and
develop their information systems and software, Ixonos Systems Services unit has
potential to boost its business. Accelerated by the new large-scale services
with extensive responsibility as well as the project management services, the
Unit's turnover is expected to continue to grow in the third quarter and
throughout the financial period. The profitability of the Unit in the latter
half of the year is forecasted to slightly improve compared to the first half of
the year.
The growth expectations for the Telecommunications Unit are based one the
increasing demand for comprehensive-responsibility software development,
integration and testing services across a wider customer base, as well as the
growing smartphone markets. The third quarter business volume of the
Telecommunications Unit is predicted to be on the same level as in the second
quarter, considering the holiday season, and increase in the last quarter. The
profitability of the Unit is expected to stay on a good level throughout the
fiscal year.
Judging from the Business Units' order backlogs and tender prospects, the
turnover of Ixonos Group in the third quarter is expected to significantly
exceed the turnover of the same period in 2006, and the 12-month turnover is
expected to exceed EUR 55 million.
Due to the holiday season and upfront recruitment, the Group's operating profit
percentage in the third quarter is expected to fall slightly below that of the
first half of the year. The operating profit percentage for the fiscal year
(without the one-off expenses of the first quarter) is expected to be on the
same level as in 2006, and the operating profit is expected to clearly exceed
that of fiscal 2006.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Ixonos operates in the ICT service markets, offering its customers flexible
technology consulting, software development, maintenance and project management
solutions that support their competitiveness and risk management. Ixonos'
services cover consulting and expert services related to project management, as
well as software project deliveries and maintenance services with comprehensive
responsibility.
Ixonos' operational business is organized into two Business Units, Systems
Services and Telecommunications. The Systems Services Unit develops and
maintains software that is part of the customer companies' information systems,
and it also produces project management services. The Unit's most significant
customers operate in the telecommunications, finance and public administration
sectors.
The Telecommunications Unit produces software development, integration and
testing services for the telecommunications sector. The Unit's clientele
comprises leading mobile and smartphone manufacturers operating on the
international markets, as well as mobile network suppliers and telecom carriers.
The Ixonos Group comprises Ixonos Project Management Services, a company
producing project management expert services, Mermit Business Applications Oy, a
company producing technology consulting services, and Ixonos Slovakia s.r.o.
that supports both Business Units. Ixonos Testhouse Oy is a Slovakia-based
subsidiary producing smartphone software testing and quality assurance services
in Kosice. The company has a subsidiary on Tallinn, Estonia, Ixonos Testhouse
Estonia OÜ.
Systems Services
During the period under review, the turnover of the Ixonos Systems Services Unit
turnover grew by 63.8 percent, amounting to EUR 10.5 million (2006: EUR 6.4
million). During the review period the Unit's turnover was boosted by the launch
of new customer projects, the strong growth of Service 4 Mobile Oy (now Ixonos
Project Management Services Ltd.), a company acquired in June 2006 producing
project management services, as well as the turnover of Mermit Business
Applications Oy, which was merged with Unit's turnover from 1 June.
Upfront recruitment, which is a prerequisite for strong organic growth, was
continued in the second quarter. Despite this the Unit managed to improve
relative profitability, and the operating profit for the review period grew 53.2
percent to EUR 1.2 million (2006: EUR 0.8 million. The Unit's profitability is
forecasted to continue to improve in the latter half of the year.
During the review period, strong efforts were made in the Unit to develop
project delivery capabilities, open architecture solutions, data security
services for Open Source applications, as well as streamlined delivery methods.
The acquisition of Mermit Business Applications Oy further strengthens the
Unit's skills and delivery capabilities, especially in data system
specification, design and architecture services, which sharpens Ixonos'
competitive edge in e.g. future projects to renew public administration
information systems.
The integration of the software production capacity of the Slovakian subsidiary
into the Unit's software production services with comprehensive responsibility,
which was launched in the first quarter, was continued in the second quarter.
The resources of the Slovakian subsidiary were utilized also in the Unit's
internal software and methods development.
Competition remained fierce on the markets of the Systems Services Unit
throughout the review period.
Telecommunications
During the period under review, the turnover of the Ixonos Telecommunications
Unit grew by 43.2 percent, amounting to EUR 17.1 million (2006: EUR 11.9
million). The Unit managed to maintain, and in some cases to increase, its
market share with its key customers. The Unit continued the design work of
several extensive customer projects as deliveries with comprehensive
responsibility, and it launched a new big project with comprehensive
responsibility where an entire wireless telecommunication device is designed for
a key customer.
During the review period, relative profitability of the Telecommunications Unit
improved compared to the previous year, and operating profit grew 71.7 percent
to EUR 2.7 million (2006: EUR 1.6 million).
The Unit's strong smartphone competence as well as the lower-cost services in
Estonia and Slovakia support the Unit's competitiveness when competing for
large-scale customer projects with comprehensive responsibility and when
aspiring to expand to new customerships on the international smartphone markets.
During the review period, Ixonos Testhouse Ltd, the subsidiary producing
smartphone software testing services, and its Tallinn-based subsidiary Ixonos
Testhouse Estonia OÜ grew into an entity employing more than 50 people.
The operations of the Telecommunications Unit's subsidiary in Kosice were
launched according to plan during the review period. The unit in Kosice
produces software development services for all stages of software project
production, and it implements part-projects in software ventures for the
Telecommunications Unit's key customers. At the end of the review period, the
staff of the unit in Kosice comprised approximately 30 telecommunications
software experts.
During the review period, the Telecommunications Unit launched a large internal
development project aiming to expand and deepen the Unit's Linux skills, as well
as to develop software and components for Linux-based mobile communication.
The global competition for the software ventures of the leading international
mobile and smartphone manufacturers remained fierce.
NEAR-FUTURE UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
The aim of Ixonos Plc's risk management is to ensure undisturbed and continuous
business operations and development, and to support the implementation of the
company's operational targets and to increase the company's value. The risk
management organization, process and recognized risks are explained on the
company's website.
Presently the biggest uncertainty factors relate to the wage increases expected
in the autumn, growing international competition, as well as the reorganization
of a significant customer. The potential wage increases may have a negative
effect on the company's profitability, because the wage increases cannot be
transferred as such to customer contracts presently in force. In the company's
forecast for the latter half of the year, the wage increases have been estimated
to amount to 4 percent on average. Proliferating international competition,
especially Indian, may tighten the price competition of the business and thus
cut the profit margins of Finnish companies. Ixonos has prepared itself for the
tightening price competition by establishing offices in lower-price areas. The
reorganization of a significant customer may temporarily postpone the launch of
new projects at the turn of the year and move some of the forecasted turnover
for 2007 over to 2008.
TURNOVER
Consolidated turnover was EUR 27.3 million (2006: EUR 18.2 million), up 50.4
percent from the previous year. Of turnover total, 62 percent was accrued by the
Telecommunications Unit and percent 38 percent by the Systems Services Unit.

Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Interim Report
standard of IAS 34, following the accounting principles for the financial
reports for 31 December 2006. The interim report has been prepared in accordance
with the IFRS standards and interpretations in force on 30 June 2007. The new
IFRIC interpretations (7-10) that became effective in 2007 have not had any

the estimated average income tax rate that is expected to be realized for the
entire financial period.
The consolidated financial statements include the information of Mermit Business
Applications (acquired on 20 June 2007) starting from 1 June 2007.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS
standards compels that the Ixonos management, when the balance sheet is
prepared, utilizes such estimates and assumptions that influence the amount of
assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses of the financial period.
In addition, when preparing the financial statements, the financial reporting
principles have to be applied with consideration. The actual figures may deviate
from the estimates and assumptions.
The interim report is unaudited.
The figures in the income statement and balance sheet have been consolidated.
All group companies are included in the consolidated balance sheet. The original
Interim Report is in Finnish. The English version is a translation.

ACQUIRED BUSINESS OPERATIONS
When business operations are merged the tangible assets are valued at their fair
value based on the market price of equivalent assets, taking their age, wear and
other similar factors into account. Tangible assets are depreciated based on the
management's estimation of their economic lifespan, taking the Groups'
depreciation principles into account.
Intangible assets that are acquired through business mergers are recognized
separate from goodwill based on their fair value at the time of acquisition,
provided that the fair value of the assets can be reliably defined. The business
operations that the Groups has acquired primarily comprise customers, customer
contracts, tender prospects and covenants in restraint of competition. The fair
value of customer contracts and the accompanying customerships, tender prospects
and covenants in restraint of competition have been defined using the MEEM model
(Multi-Earning-Excess modell). Other intangible asset items are depreciated
based on the management's evaluation of their economic lifespan.
In addition to the skills of the personnel, the goodwill that arised from
mergers of business operations in 2007 comprises other intangible assets that
cannot be identified in accordance with IAS 38. These items include the
potential to acquire new customers, the development prospects of new services,
as well as the strong geographic position of the acquired business operations.
These items do not fulfill the criteria of IAS 38 in any respect: they are not
identifiable, they are not based on a contract or a law, and it is not possible
to reliably define a value for them. All business mergers create synergy
advantages that primarily consist of cross-selling of existing services, as well
as savings in fixed costs.
The goodwill/acquisition cost of the acquired business operations can change
based on the contract terms related to the acquisition price. Part of the
acquisition price is tied to near-future (less than 12 month) events. Changes in
the acquisition price, including solicitor's and consultant's fees related to
the merger, are recognized as goodwill within 12 months of the acquisition. The
business operations acquired in 2006 may be subject to such changes. Apart from
this, the allocation calculations are final
The Group's turnover for 1 January - 30 June 2007 would have been EUR 29.1
million and the profit for the period EUR 1.4 million if Mermit had been
acquired on 1 January 2007. The Group's turnover include the realized turnover
of the acquired company, and the Group's result include the realized loss of the
acquired company based on the company's interim financial statement at the time
of the acquisition. The intangible and tangible asset items of the merger have
been valued at their fair value, and the depreciation of the items for the
period has been deducted from the profit for the review period. The synergy
advantages have not been taken into account.
