MARKETS AND DIGIA'S BUSINESS                                                    

Organic growth surged during the reporting period. Operating profit and earnings
per share improved substantially. The third-quarter result was in line with     
expectations, both in the case of net sales and profitability. Although organic 
growth was more restrained than in the previous quarter, it continued to outpace
market growth.                                                                  

Market conditions in the company's main business fields were fair in the third  
quarter in spite of the global financial crisis and the summer holiday season.  
Uncertainty regarding the development of the global economy and its impact on   
the investment propensity of Digia's customers mounted after the end of the     
reporting period.                                                               

During the third quarter, Digia started up preparations to reform its           
organisation. Its sales, product and service range and competencies will be     
integrated. The organisational reform aims to further enhance the use of the    
company's resources, increase the invoicing rate and thus improve profitability.

Telecommunications                                                              

During the third quarter, Telecommunications posted higher net sales and        
retained its profitability on a par with the corresponding period of the        
previous year. Customer satisfaction is at a good level. Demand has weakened    
slightly compared with the first half of the year, but remains somewhat better  
than in the same period last year. The trend in the global economy puts pressure
on the telecommunications market as well, but to date this has not been         
reflected in demand.                                                            

The division continued to bolster its delivery capacity by pursuing the active  
recruiting policy initiated in the first half of the year. Recruitment is mainly
focused on countries with lower cost levels. The unit that was opened in        
Chengdu, China in April has grown favourably and the initiated customer projects
have progressed in line with plans.                                             

Finance and Services                                                            

The third-quarter net sales of Finance and Services were almost at the same     
level as in the corresponding period of the previous year. However, year-on-year
business profitability declined. The reasons underlying the weaker than expected
trend in net sales and profitability were that decisions on projects were pushed
back due to the uncertain financial markets and ongoing projects were cancelled 
because of customer reasons.                                                    

Demand in Services has remained healthy, particularly in the public sector. The 
uncertainty caused by the turmoil in the international financial market will be 
reflected in Finance operations during the remainder of the year.               

Industry and Trade                                                              

During the third quarter, Industry and Trade posted slightly higher net sales   
than in the corresponding period of the previous year and improved its          
profitability substantially. In the ERP business, Digia signed an agreement for 
the delivery of a field service system based on Microsoft Dynamics AX software. 
Digia Enterprise system delivery agreements have been signed with wholesale,    
food industry and other customers. The order book for Digia Logistics solutions 
has grown and the company has won many new sales.                               

The trend in the net sales and profitability of integration solutions has       
remained favourable. Operations with current key customers have expanded        
further. The order book for new customer accounts grew during the reporting     
period.                                                                         

Market demand in trade and industry was satisfactory during the first three     
quarters of the year, but the development of the global economy ushers in       
uncertainty for the rest of the year, which might dampen customers' willingness 
and ability to invest in information systems.                                   


RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES                                                         

Digia's short-term uncertainties are related to any major changes occurring in  
the company's core markets, the availability and cost of skilled personnel,     
employee turnover and the impact of the unpredictable economic situation on     
Digia customers' investment decisions. Especially, the global financial crisis, 
which started in the third quarter, may have a significant negative impact on   
Digia's business, in case the continuing crisis significantly weakens customers'
financial position.                                                             

Furthermore, the growth in customer project size and scope increases risks      
related to projects and their profitability. A more detailed description of     
Digia's risk management is provided in its annual report and on the company     
website.                                                                        


PROSPECTS FOR 2008 AND COMPANY OBJECTIVES                                       

Digia's main targets for 2008 have been organic growth while maintaining        
profitability at a good level. The company's management focuses on customers,   
personnel and the conservative further internationalisation of operations. On   
the heels of the global financial crisis, it is expected that customers will    
slightly scale back their investments in information systems, but the company   
seeks to maintain good profitability, develop its service offerings and enhance 
customer satisfaction. The company intends to continue increasing its           
operational efficiency while pursuing a strict cost policy.                     

In the long run, Digia seeks primarily to concentrate on strengthening organic  
growth. During the second quarter, Digia renounced its revolving credit         
facility, announced on 9 November 2006, meant for financing possible            
acquisitions. By renouncing the credit facility, the company will save over EUR 
100,000 annually. While the company is still able to execute strategically      
important acquisitions, reaching the net sales target of EUR 200 million for    
2010 as announced earlier is no longer the company's main focus. Instead, the   
company now focuses on organic growth of the businesses by developing current   
competencies and products with a view to improving profitability, earnings per  
share and the balance sheet figures.                                            

Concerning year 2008 Digia's organic growth is outpacing the market growth and  
the profitability is at good level. The company will continue the conservative  
internationalisation of its business and to increase the business volume in     
countries with favourable cost level.

Digia's consolidated net sales for the period 1-9/2008 were EUR 90.4 million, up

(7-9/2007: 5.8 per cent).

Present values are determined on the basis of actual operating profit and       
five-year forecasts by the CGU, with growth varying between three and five per  
cent and the operating margin between 10 and 12 per cent.                       
Cash flows following the forecast period are estimated by extrapolating the cash
flows using a steady net sales growth forecast of three per cent, with operating
profit estimated at 10 per cent of net sales. Discount rates have been          
determined in view of the industry's general risk level, corresponding to an    
annual interest rate of 11 per cent.                                            

Net sales growth is reckoned to constitute the most critical factor in          
calculating the present values of cash flows. The amount of goodwill for        
Telecommunications requires average annual long-term growth of around two per   
cent for business operations and 10 per cent profitability before amortisation  
of intangible assets. The amount of goodwill for Finance and Services requires  
average annual growth of two per cent for business operations and six per cent  
profitability before amortisation of intangible assets. The amount of goodwill  
for Industry and Trade requires average annual long-term growth of two per cent 
for business operations and nine per cent profitability before amortisation of  
intangible assets.                                                              

Based on a reasonable estimate, any change in key variables used in calculations
during the reporting period would not lead to a situation in which the segment's
carrying amount would exceed its recoverable amount. Consequently, in the       
management's view, there is no need to recognise impairment losses.             

The Group's cash flow from business operations for the period was positive by   
EUR 11.7 million (1-9/2007: positive cash flow of EUR 4.3 million), cash flow   
from investments was negative by EUR 4.8 million (1-9/2007: negative EUR 3.2    
million) and cash flow from finance was negative by EUR 2.9 million (1-9/2007:  
negative EUR 1.8 million). Cash flow from investments was negatively influenced 
by the acquisition of Sunrise Resources Ltd, with a negative impact of EUR 2.8  
million. Cash flow from finance was negatively affected by the acquisition of   
own shares, with a negative effect of EUR 0.9 million, and payment of dividends,
with a negative impact of EUR 2.0 million.                                      
Gross capital expenditure during the period totalled EUR 2.0 million (1-9/2007: 
EUR 1.4 million). Acquisitions of tangible fixed assets totalled EUR 1.6 million
(1-9/2007: EUR 1.0 million).                                                    
Return on investment (ROI) for the period stood at 11.6 per cent (12/2007: 9.4  
per cent) and return on equity (ROE) was 11.6 per cent (12/2007: 8.9 per cent).

2007 (2007: 1,155). During the reporting period, the number of employees

Acquired business operations:                                                   

Digia Plc acquired all the shares in Sunrise Resources Ltd on 14 January 2008.  
The acquisition price was EUR 3.6 million paid as a cash consideration and Digia
financed the transaction through its cash reserves. In addition, the sellers may
receive an additional purchase price based on Sunrise's achievement of its      
objectives for 2008. The maximum amount of the additional sales price is EUR 0.6
million, which may be paid either in cash or in Digia's shares, as determined by
Digia. The acquisition generated EUR 2.5 million of goodwill, in addition to    
which EUR 0.6 million of the acquisition price was allocated for the acquired   
customers.
