Managing Director Hannu Ahola:"During the first half of the year company's turnover has increased
faster as expected.  The increase in turnover is influenced by good
existing project backlog and successes both in device and software
sales. The profit development in proportion with the turnover growth
for the first year-half didn't reach the long-term target mainly
because of the structure of the turnover was emphasized by the
device- and partner software sales and the growth of the staff
expenses. This growth couldn't yet be completely transferred to
customer prices. During the second quarter of the year the company
achieved to improve profitability clearly compared to the first
quarter of 2008. After the first half of the year we can more
definitely believe in the fulfillment of the objectives related to
growth of turnover and profitability that are set for the whole year
2008. This means organic growth of over 10 percent and the
improvement of last year's operating profit of nearly 5 percent.


In addition to the profitable domestic activities the growth
potential in Russian markets seems to strengthen. During the last
part of the year we'll increase our efforts in Russia. In the growth
phase of business operations, the adequate availability of proper
employees will became one of the most crucial success factors as well
in the domestic front as in Russia. We have already recruited
exceptionally considerable number of new employees to strengthen our
know-how."


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Solteq is a strategic partner for trade and industry, whose core
competency is IT solutions that are critical to business. Solteq
combines its own product portfolio with the products from the leading
software companies in the world to deliver individual business
development and ERP solutions for its customers.  The information
that is processed by means of these solutions is helping customers to
lead their business even better than before and to improve their
profitability.

In the beginning of year 2008 Solteq's operations were internally
divided to five separate units. The result is still monitored through
two business segments. The segment Trade consists of Trade and Auto
Trade units. Industry and services segment consists of Industry and
Information Management units. Application Services is company's
internal service unit. OOO Solteq Russia acts as an independent
subsidiary, which serves with the support of the parent company's
organization Solteq's customers operating in Russia.


TRADE

Business environment - Trade

A quite positive economic trend is prevailing in the business branch
trade. Companies in chained commerce are opening new stores and
investigations to build new shopping centers are picking up all
around Finland. The growth of companies in business branch trade
appears directly also to the business operation of companies that
provide IT- solutions and services to companies in trade branch.

In addition to the growth of companies the second driver for IT-
system investments is the improvement of effectiveness, because by
means of improvement in effectiveness companies are preparing
themselves to weaker economic trends.  Interest  towards self-service
solutions is increasing all the time. To the consumer the most
visible example of improvement of trade's effectiveness is the usage
of payment card in card reader and PIN-code key entry during the
payment situation.

The expansion of Finnish store chains to abroad appear also as growth
of demand for IT- solutions. In abroad companies in trade want to
implement IT- systems whose properties have been developed and tested
on the domestic front. In addition to the demand for IT- systems the
globalization of companies in trade appears also in the demand for
consultancy services.

The continuance of IT- investments in the trade branch is also backed
up by the retailers' need for replace already or soon out-of-date
systems. At the moment there are a plenty of systems in use at stores
that don't support or make possible at all the implementation of new
services such as advanced reporting tools.

Business environment - Auto Trade

The business environment of Auto Trade remained stable during the
review period. In the Auto Trade branch the difficulties of American
car manufacturers, increased fuel costs and increasing interests have
engendered uncertainty to the branch, but this uncertainty has had no
influence in IT- investments of Auto Trade. The increasing
environmental consciousness of customers and consequential changes in
buying and consumption behaviour cause also changes in the business
environment. In Finland the focus of demand for information
technology for Auto Trade branch is concentrated on different
services and added value products, which Solteq and different
interest groups of Auto Trade branch are providing. Solteq implements
terminal interfaces between added value products and existing systems
of Auto Trade.


In the branch Auto Trade there are signs that companies' have
increasing interest towards building up comprehensive IT- strategy.
Companies want to fully utilize their IT- systems and take care that
their systems are harnessed as efficient as possible to serve
management of business operations and to achieve business objectives.

Business development - Trade

The development of business operations in the Trade unit was slightly
better than expected and the unit exceeded its financial objectives.
Compared with the second quarter of 2007 the turnover of business
unit trade increased clearly.

The good economic development during the review period was boosted by
systematic investments in the supply of trade related solutions and
both cooperation and product integration with Solteq's partners, such
as Wincor Nixdorf, Microsoft, IBM and SAP. Along with the own product
development and partners' versatile supply of solutions Solteq
develops solutions for all sized companies in the business branch
trade.
Among the IT- systems the demand for TP.net-store management system,
Solteq Merx and Microsoft Dynamics' NAV - ERP system have been brisk.
During the review period the number of concluded deals related to
Tekso- point-of-sale systems was also above average.

The largest single project during the review period was the renewal
of Tokmanni group of companies' of point-of-sale systems, which was
continued as installations of systems to the stores.  Respecta's NAV-
project, that begun in the first quarter of the year, continued also
during the second quarter.

In May Solteq announced that it will carry out an inventory
management renewal project for Anttila in which the Hämeenkylä
distribution centre's picking services for department stores and the
functionalities of dispatch department are renewed by the means of
Solteq's Merx- solution. At the moment the project is ongoing and it
will be finalized during the last quarter of the year.

The focuses of product development were on message communications. In
addition service production standard was developed alongside with a
couple of customers. New operations models for project management
development were created similarly.

Business development - Auto Trade

The business operations in the Auto Trade unit developed satisfactory
during the review period, but the unit remained slightly below its
financial expectations. No major single ERP development projects were
launched in the beginning of the year, on the contrary the focus of
the unit's business consisted of development of customers' existing
systems and service sales.


INDUSTRY AND SERVICES

Solteq's Industry and Services business segment consists of Industry
and Information Management business units. The expertise in
enterprise resource planning (ERP) and maintenance systems has been
centralized in the Industry business segment. Information Management,
that is a new  business unit and that was launched in the beginning
of 2008, provides harmonization projects for IT- systems and master
data maintenance services as well as data collection services. These
projects and services are provided both domestically and globally
along with international customers. The objective for segregation of
Information Management unit is to ensure that harmonization services
will be effectively available to all customers of Solteq.

Business environment - Industry

In Finland the propensity to invest in enterprise resource planning
(ERP) -systems and maintenance IT- systems among industrial companies
remained stable during the review period and there were no signs of
downtrend related to investments. The customers in forest industry,
whose decision-making was stressed by difficulties in the line of
business, made exception. As a whole the activity in maintenance IT-
systems has remained unchanged, and in addition the activity among
ERP- systems has increased both in SAP and Microsoft Dynamics NAV-
systems.

Russia is the growing market area for Solteq's Industry unit. In
Russia the investments in production plants of foreign companies are
still in clear upswing. The companies that are investing in Russia
want to build the IT- systems of their new production plants so that
they match with existing IT- systems in other units and so that the
new systems integrate smoothly to existing ones. In Russia there is
constant and increasing demand for maintenance systems.

Business environment - Information Management

Solteq's Information Management business unit offers harmonization of
information system master data (product, customer and supplier
information). The objective for harmonization is to improve quality
of the data that is recorded to the IT- systems. Companies'
investment in quality of data is internationally an upward trend, in
which especially large companies pay more and more attention.

In Finland the demand for harmonization services remained brisk
during the second quarter of the year. Earlier the demand was
originated by the needs of industrial companies, but now also the
trade branch is going to activate. Especially the companies among
wholesale are interested in the benefits of harmonization.

Industry is still the forerunner branch related to harmonization
projects. Industrial companies continue their efforts to gain cost
savings by harmonizing the data of their different ERP- systems and
by removing overlap data from those systems. Solteq's Information
Management unit accompanies SAP and other enterprise resource
planning projects in earlier phase than before. By the means of
harmonization the data from ERP- system is accurately transferred to
new a system as real time as possible.

Business development - Industry

During the review period the financial success of business unit
Industry exceeded significantly its objectives.

During year 2008 the Industry unit's growth is foreseen to remain
strongest among maintenance, in which both the number of customers
and the services needed are going to increase. Solteq's business
activities in Russia bring possibilities for additional growth. The
sales project backlog of Russian unit is strong and during the second
half of year 2008 efforts will be made to start new projects in
Russia, especially in the St. Petersburg area.

During the review period investments in the development work of
Arttu-, Artturi-, and PowerMaint- maintenance systems were continued.
Earlier the industrial companies took care of the maintenance by
themselves, but in the future more and more companies are going to
outsource this function. It is Solteq's objective to bring new
functionalities, which correspond to the needs of maintenance
outsourcers and network -like operating companies, to its maintenance
systems.

Ruukki's maintenance project was the most important one among single
projects. Ruukki's project continued according to plan during the
review period. The maintenance project of Pohjolan Voima was
finalized and moved on follow-up projects. After the renewal of
maintenance systems of seven power plants new projects were started
related to system renewals of Pori's and Laanila's plants.

During the review period the SAP version upgrade that was carried out
for Medix Biochemicals and implementation of SAP in Componenta's unit
in Pori have given work among enterprise resource planning systems.
Version upgrades are also on the go for several other customers.

During the review period company invested also in recruitments and
along with those recruitments the Solteq's ability to deal with more
and more projects simultaneously is going to improve.


Business development - Information Management

Solteq's Information Management unit increased its sales by 30 per
cent compared to the first quarter of 2008. The increase in sales is
boosted by one large and several smaller harmonization projects.
Ongoing projects run to time and the projects are finalized, as
planned, in the third quarter of year.
