Stonesoft - Company Announcement

STONESOFT S STONEGATE(TM) SALES INTO RECORD NET SALES DURING THE SECOND QUARTER WITH AN ANNUAL GROWTH OF 65 %, THE ANNUAL COSTS AND OVERALL NET SALES ARE DOWNGRADED



The invoicing of StoneGate(TM) products totalled 2.7 million euros
during the second quarter reaching the highest level ever in the
company's history. The growth of the sales of StoneGate(TM) products
during the second quarter was 65 per cent compared with the
corresponding period last year and in amount this growth was the
biggest ever in the company's history. The growth of the sales of
StoneGate(TM) products during the first half-year is roughly 35 per
cent. At present the overall net sales are estimated to have grown
annually roughly 30 per cent during the second quarter, while the
corresponding growth during the first quarter was roughly 7 per cent.
More detailed information will be given in the interim report.

The company has earlier estimated that its annual overall net sales
will be roughly 25 million euros (+/- 10%). Even though the sales of
StoneGate(TM) products grew strongly during the second half-year, the
growth of the sales did not fully meet the company's expectations.
Based on this development and some uncertainties arisen in the timing
of the materialization of certain larger projects, the company
expects now, in deviation of its earlier estimate, its annual overall
net sales to be roughly 21 million euros (+/- 10%). The corresponding
net sales figure of last year was 17 million euros. This estimate is
based on the present sales funnel and may change upward, if these
larger projects will materialize during this year.

The company's costs have clearly remained below the given forecast.
The company has earlier estimated that its annual costs will be
roughly 24,5 million euros (+/- 10 %). The new estimate for the
annual costs is now roughly 23 million euros (+/- 10 %).

The operating profit and the total result for the whole year is
expected to develop favourably as stated earlier.

Stonesoft will issue its Interim Report for the second quarter in
July 31, 2007.
