trend during the third quarter. Also the operating profit is on a
yearly level slightly better compared to previous year. During recent
months we have reported that we have concluded several new
significant delivery contracts, which empower the company to achieve
the objectives that are set for the whole year 2008 and also provide
dynamic start for 2009. The uncertainty in general economic situation
is not actually shown in our business and the ongoing projects are
continuing as planned."

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

TRADE

Business environment - Trade

IT-investments have remained stable in the business branch trade.
International financial crisis has brought caution also to the
decision-making of companies in trade, but no fading has been seen in
the demand for IT-solutions. IT-system investments in the business
branch trade are driven by demand for strengthen customer service to
competitive advantage, chaining of stores, need to improve
effectiveness of activities and building of new shopping- and
logistics centers.

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 foreign companies in trade, whose expand their activities to
Finland, increase also the demand for IT-system knowledge in business
branch trade. Companies are seeking Finnish partners who have the
knowledge in local systems and who have robust experience in
integration of different systems to each other.

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up by the retailers' need for replace already or soon out-of-date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. The need for change related to old systems becomes concrete
when companies acquire new systems either by themselves or through
corporate acquisitions and different systems have to be harmonized or
connect to each other at the minimum. At the moment there are a
plenty of systems in use in stores that don't support or make
possible at all the implementation of new services such as advanced
reporting tools.


Interest especially towards various optimization solutions has
increased. By the means of procurement optimization the purchasers
take care of it that there are right products in a right price and
right time available for the customers. Solteq has invested in
knowledge of procurement and logistics optimization and it is well
positioned, when the awareness of benefits of those solutions
continues to increase.

The customers in business branch trade are increasingly interested in
various standards that have been developed in EU-area. For the system
deliverers in business branch trade standards like SEPA (Single Euro
Payments Area) and PCI (Payment Card Industry) entail requirements
related to training and gaining certificates. Solteq has
systematically trained the standards to its specialists. The
objective is to improve company's competitive strength by combining
standards of trade to Solteq's own strength, knowledge in value chain
of trade.

Business environment - Auto Trade

During the review period there were no major changes in the business
environment of auto trade, but since the review period the economical
uncertainty has clearly arisen. Increased fuel costs and interest
expenses as well as uncertainty due to the global financial crisis
can be seen as car trades customer's protracted or postponed purchase
decisions. The caution of end customers reverberates to the
allocation of car traders own investment decisions. The caution in
IT-investments appears in the markets as low demand for system
renewals.

Instead of new investments the companies in car trade are still
investing in developing existing systems. The focus of IT demand in
business branch auto trade is concentrated on different services and
added value products which Solteq and various interest groups of the
branch are providing. Solteq implements terminal interfaces between
the services of different interest groups of auto trade, between its
own added value products and existing systems of auto trade.

The business development in auto trade is lead by a group of
companies, whose are seeking innovative solutions for their
activities regardless of economic cycle. Companies' need to respond
more accurately to the needs of their customers is the driver for the
development work. The companies in auto trade can achieve changes
that make the service more smooth and activities more effective by
developing their systems.

Business development - Trade

During the review period the business operations in the Trade unit
developed according to plans and unit achieved its challenging
financial objectives.

During the review period Solteq's investments continued in the supply
of trade related solutions and both cooperation and product
integration with Solteq's partners such as Wincor Nixdorf, Microsoft,
IBM, SAP, JDA Software and Optiscan. Along with the own product
development and partners' versatile supply of solutions Solteq
develops solutions for all sized companies in the business branch
trade.

The strongest demand was focused on ERP-systems and store management
systems. During the review period there were several Solteq Merx and
Microsoft Dynamics NAV -ERP projects ongoing, those projects kept the
Solteq's specialists of industry branch trade busy. Like previous
quarter the interest towards Tekso- point-of-sale systems remained
above average among the store management systems.

During the review period the largest single projects were the system
renewals in Anttila Oy's distribution center in Hämeenkylä and
Tokmanni Group of companies' logistics center in Mäntsälä. Anttila's
warehouse management renewal consists of Merx ERP and solution
related to speech picking based on voice recognition. During the
review period Solteq carried out Tokmanni Group a pilot project that
is going to expand during the last quarter of 2008 to cover
group-wide ERP and warehouse management systems as well as
procurement optimization and solution related to speech picking based
on voice recognition.

The focuses of product development were on message communications.
Also the development of project management was continued. The best
practices related to ways of action of project management, which have
been increased along with group's corporate acquisitions, have been
collected up in the product development project.


Business development - Auto Trade

The business operations of the Auto Trade unit developed satisfactory
during the review period. The service sales of customers' existing
systems developed as expected, whereas the license sales of new
systems remained below expectations.


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 industrial companies have continued their investments
in ERP-systems and maintenance IT-systems. In the markets there are
more signs of caution than before, but so far there have been no
evident signs of fading demand, except for the customers in forest
industry.

The demand for maintenance IT-systems has remained brisk like it was
during the first half of the year. Among ERP-systems especially the
sales of Microsoft Dynamics NAV -systems has been active. In addition
the demand for data collection -solutions has activated significantly
during the third quarter.
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 addition more and more Russian companies are willing to invest in
maintenance systems. Effectively utilized maintenance system
increases production days and thereby generated increase in
production capacity provides solutions' short payback period.

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. Leading by
information is going rise as a megatrend, and Information Management
business unit offers its services to respond to the demand that is
generated through above-mentioned trend.

During the third quarter the demand for services remained almost
unchanged. The decision-making related to investments in industrial
companies has clearly become slower, that is shown in the start-ups
of new harmonization projects.

Instead the companies in trade have been more and more activated.
Interest towards harmonization services is shown especially among
companies in retail business and wholesale. Increased awareness
related to the business advantages of leading by information is
influencing in the background of increased interest.

Business development - Industry

The business operations of Industry unit developed satisfactory
during the review period and unit remained a bit from its financial
objectives due to changes in time schedule of one large project.

Among ERP-systems significant single projects have been Componenta's
SAP-project, whose execution was started in company's unit in
Netherlands during the review period. SAP-project that was carried
out to University of Helsinki Funds proceeded into production stage
as planned. In addition Solteq started renewal for Kiilto Oy in which
solution related to speech picking based on voice recognition is
integrated to client's existing ERP-system.

The finalization of Ruukki's project's adjustment work was the most
important one among IT-maintenance projects. In November this massive
project proceeds into production.

In September Solteq announced maintenance solution delivery to Kotkan
Energia, which covers all the power plants of Kotka Energia, district
heating centers and pumping stations as well as wind farms. This
solution consists of maintenance system, server equipments, and
database and implementation project. In addition maintenance system
renewal that was delivered to Vantaa Energia was completed during the
review period.

The activities of Solteq's Russian unit were developed by
strengthening project resources. Unit's sales project backlog
increased intensively during the third quarter. There are ongoing
sales projects both in maintenance IT-systems and ERP-systems.

During the review period the focus of strong product development was
on the development work of IT-maintenance systems. Investments in
product development will be increased from before during the last
quarter of 2008.

During the review period the business operations of Information
Management unit developed like previous quarter. Unit lags behind its

developing tailored service concepts.

capitalized in the amount of 408 thousand euros (95 thousand euros).

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

There have been no reportable matters since after the review period.


RISKS AND UNCERTAINITIES

The key uncertainties and risks are related to the timing and pricing
of the business deals that are the basis of the turnover, changes in
the level of costs and to the company's ability to manage extensive
contract agreements and deliveries. The reflections from the ongoing
financial crisis form a question mark, the impact of which is hard to
estimate.

The key business risks and uncertainties of the company are monitored
constantly as a part of the board and management group work. The
company has not organized a separate internal audit organization or
committee.

PROSPECTS

In the interim review 8.8.2007 Solteq Plc set a long-term objective
for years 2008-2010 that is to achieve 10 % yearly organic growth of
turnover. Additional growth is sought by allocated acquisitions.

Company's objective for yearly operating profit is to significantly
improve the level of operating profit compared to previous years, as
the objective is 10 % of turnover. There are still realistic
conditions for achieving these objectives. The reflections of the
potential recession on the profit making ability of the company are
impossible to estimate at the moment. The company will do all efforts
to ensure that the profit targets will be achieved.

The operating profit for 2008 is expected to improve even though it
will not reach the above-mentioned target level of 10 %.
