* The figures include one-off costs of related to the relisting and the
combination of shares to the amount of about EUR 200 thousand during January 1
- March 31, 2011 and to the amount of about EUR 100 thousand during April 1 -
June 30, 2011. 

** The return on equity and the return on investment as percentages have been
adjusted to correspond with the 12-month period. 

**** There are no comparison data for the corresponding review period in as
Innofactor did not draft comparable interim reports in 2010 due to the reverse
acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3. 

**** The number of shares before December 27, 2010 presented in the table has
been calculated from the number of Innofactor Oy shares due to the reverse
acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3. In accordance with the decision of the
Innofactor Plc's Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2011, twenty old shares
were consolidated into one new share (registered in the Trade Register on May
7, 2011) which reduced the total number of shares to 1/20 of the previous
number. The key figures presented in the table have been adjusted to correspond
with the current number of shares. 

Reporting

Innofactor Plc operates on a single segment and mainly in Finland, offering
software, systems and related services. No distribution of net sales or
earnings by segment or geographical area is therefore presented. 

CEO Sami Ensio's review:

During April 1 - June 30, 2011, Innofactor's net sales grew by 103.0% from the
corresponding period last year. This increase was largely based on acquisitions
made in 2011, and about 34% of the increase was organic growth. Growth for the
whole year is expected to be about 70%. 

Research and development continued to focus on new versions of old products and
Innofactor's first cloud solutions in particular. Research and development
costs recognized in the profit and loss statement were EUR 654 thousand during
April 1 - June 30, 2011 (there is no comparison figure available for the same
period in 2010; total research and development costs in 2010 were EUR 1,173
thousand). 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) during
April 1 - June 30, 2011 were EUR 275 thousand (6.3%) and earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) were EUR 142 thousand (3.3%), 

In May 2011, the company launched a cost-effectiveness program described in the
previous interim report, which places special emphasis on unifying and
improving practices related to project management and resource allocation and
cutting other business costs. The program has already helped to increase
productivity in June 2011 already, when the company's business results were
clearly higher than in the previous months. Cutting other business costs is
expected to reduce costs from July 2011 on. Profitability for the rest of the
year is expected to improve due to our strong order book and the planned
decrease in research and development from the first half of the year. 

In June, Innofactor revamped its brand, which involved a renewed customer
promise called Your Partner. Your Solution.™, which underlined the company's
long-term collaboration with its customers. 

Innofactor continues to seek potential strategic partnerships in Finland and
neighboring countries. The group will seek growth, which can be organic or
based on mergers or acquisitions. 

Market outlook and business environment

In June 2011, Innofactor was awarded the Microsoft Country Partner of the Year,
which reinforced the company's position as one of Microsoft's key partners in
Finland. 

On July 10, 2011, at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Los Angeles,
USA, Innofactor launched its new cloud services. These services drew a fair
amount of attention, and Innofactor believes there is a significant
international market for them. 

Innofactor's market outlook is positive.
