ILARI KOSKELO, CEO
The Proha Group's operating result fell below our expectations again in the
second quarter. The core business itself performed closely to our budget, but
the administrative structures instigated prior to the recession have proved to
be too heavy and financially unsustainable.
Dovre's administrative structure reflects the 2008 situation and will require to
be immediately unencumbered. The decisions regarding improving cost efficiency
will be made as soon as possible. Dovre's customer base both in Norway and
especially in Canada has developed well regardless of the market situation, but
operating margins, and thereby profitability, are still facing pressures.
The organizational structure of the Camako division was dissolved at the end of
the second quarter, and the merger of the three Finnish subsidiaries was
implemented as of August 1, 2009. The simpler administrative structure of one
company brings cost savings to Camako and its profitability is projected to
improve. The Camako staff has been very cooperative in finding measures to
streamline the operations.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Dovre division
Dovre is a globally operating company within project management, procurement and
consulting. Dovre's five core competencies consist of management consulting,
project & procurement, project services, Safran systems and Dovre Campus.
The net sales of the Dovre division were reduced by two percent in the period
under review. The net sales of Dovre Norway were reduced largely due to the
weakening
of the Norwegian krone as compared to the same period in 2008. Also the
profitability declined and was contributed by an increase in the administrative
expenses as well as by the difficult Norwegian market conditions. Additionally,
non-recurring charges from employment terminations reduced the second quarter
result of Dovre Norway.
In North America, the net result and profitability of Dovre USA were reduced due
to a difficult market situation in Houston. However, the net result and
profitability of Dovre Canada were favorably improved. The net sales were
clearly increased despite of the weakening of the Canadian dollar as compared to
the same period in 2008.
Camako division
The net sales of the Camako division were increased by 17 percent in the period
under review. The net sales and profitability have performed closely to the
plan.
The general financial situation is reflected also in growing precaution within
the Camako clientele. The customers regard the development of project management
very important in a tightening competitive market, but they are extremely
careful to initiate new development projects. This trend cannot yet strongly be
seen in the public sector, but it is anticipated to also impact the sector in
the fall.
During the second quarter Camako has entered into a partnership agreement with
JPP-Soft Oy in Finland and Metier Scandinavia A/S in Denmark to resell Camako
EPM software solutions.

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
personnel turnover. The general market conditions in most segments are fairly
weak causing some uncertainty for companies to start new projects and
investments.
According to its strategy, the Dovre division offers its customers project
deliverables with a higher level of content and value added services, which have
a slightly higher responsibility and risk than the previous offering. The risk
taking is being mitigated and is reflected in pricing of the services.
The business operations of the Camako division will be affected by competition
from the market in general and by new technological solutions developed by that
competition. In addition, 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. At the same time, the importance of
project portfolio and resource management as a part of business planning is
always emphasized in transitions, such as decline and recovery.
EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD
Proha's Board of Directors decided in its meeting on July 9, 2009, to merge
Camako Finland Oy and Datamar Oy with Camako Oy (formerly Camako Nordic Oy) to
streamline the organizational structure and reduce administrative costs. The
merger is estimated to be legalized in the beginning of November. Camako Nordic
Oy's name has been changed to Camako Oy as of July 20, 2009. The new streamlined
Camako organization was implemented as of August 1, 2009.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The general economic situation may slow down Proha's growth. Proha previously
forecasted a positive operating result for 2009. It is still considered possible
to achieve a positive operating result after non-recurring items.
Requests for proposals are slightly down and price pressure on new projects as
well as existing ones is a reality. The success in securing new business while
maintaining profitable rates in all projects is a key issue for the rest of the
year.
Low oil prices globally and the general economic slowdown decrease the oil and
gas companies' investments, which in turn will negatively affect the demand on
Dovre's services and cause pressures to cut prices on services. The Dovre
management foresees the market in Canada and Norway to be better than the
average situation seen in the rest of the world. The difficult market situation
in the USA is anticipated to continue in 2009.
The corrective measures to improve the cost efficiency of Dovre Norway will be
implemented as soon as possible.
Growing uncertainty and caution are also seen among Camako's customers. The rest
of the year will continue to be challenging, but the management estimates the
targets to be met.
The above prospects are based on forecasts approved by the Proha Board of
Directors.
