a change of 29.8 per cent.

7.2 million goodwill impairment), 5.6 per cent of turnover. 
- Non-recurring expenses of EUR 0.4 million (2009: EUR 7.2 million) were
allocated to the review period.

a change of 39.9 per cent. 
- Operating profit was EUR 1.7 million (2009: EUR -6.7 million, including EUR

Future prospects in brief

- Turnover in the final quarter of this year is forecast to exceed
substantially turnover for the corresponding period last year. Operating profit
in the final quarter is expected to be at least at the level of operating
profit for the previous year. 
- Turnover for the entire year is predicted clearly to surpass that of the
previous year. Operating profit for the entire year is anticipated distinctly
to exceed operating profit for the previous year (before the goodwill
impairment in 2009). 

Kari Happonen, President and CEO:

Since early this year, Ixonos' operations and profitability have developed as   
planned. During the third quarter, the growth in service demand and in turnover 
has continued to outperform the market. With the overall growth of our business,
our operating profit has also improved. The company's profitability continued to
be weakened by the tight market situation in Finland, by our investments in new 
regions and by the one-off arbitration costs. Profitability has not yet risen to
its normal level.

The Mobile Terminals & Software business area, which provides R&D services for  
mobile terminal devices and software, has strongly increased its turnover this  
year and has been able to maintain fair profitability. The turnkey projects in  
smartphone design that were carried out in the Device Creation Centre have      
supported the growth of the segment's operations. The unit is expected to       
continue developing positively during the remainder of the year.                

The turnover of the Media & Communities business area, which develops           
device-independent Internet services related to the delivery of digital media as
well as to web communities, has continued its vigorous growth compared to 2009. 
Already during the previous review period, the turnover of the Media &
Communities unit clearly exceeded the unit's turnover for the entire year 2009. 
Due to strong investments, for example into the development of the international
sales network and of partnerships, the unit's profitability remains low. We     
anticipate that the segment will continue its positive development and that     
profitability will improve.                                                     

The Business Solutions area, which provides development and implementation of   
online services to Finnish organisations in telecommunication and finance as    
well as in public administration, continues to suffer from the difficult market 
situation in Finland. The unit's turnover fell short of the previous year's     
level, and operations continued to show a loss in the third quarter. However,   
the rate of decline in operations has slowed down distinctly and the            
rationalisation programme is expected to improve the unit's profitability during
the last part of the year. Clear improvements in the order book are detectable, 
and this is expected to have a positive effect on the unit's turnover and       
profitability.                                                                  

As research institutes had forecast, Finland's ICT market has seen an upswing   
this year and the growth is expected to continue in 2011. The market of         
international customers is anticipated to increase clearly faster than the      
Finnish market. We expect that the business volume of the entire Group will keep
growing and that profitability will continue to develop positively.             

OPERATIONS                                                                      

Ixonos is an ICT service company providing innovative solutions for mobile      
communications, social media and digital services. Together with its customers, 
the company develops products and services that inspire the digital experience  
regardless of place and time. The company's client organisations benefit from   
new business opportunities and new productivity.                                

By offering services that range from concept design, consulting and project     
management to software production and maintenance, Ixonos strives to be a       
strategic partner to leading innovators. One of Ixonos' strategic objectives has
been to expand the company's solutions and services to span the entire life     
cycle of mobile Internet services, from concept development to maintenance.     
Ixonos' solutions also encompass all sectors of the user experience, from       
terminal devices and user interfaces to back end systems for mobile Internet    
services. Ixonos' Device Creation Centre provides R&D services for mobile       
devices. In addition to software development, these services also cover         
mechanical engineering and electronics design. With the centre, Ixonos can      
provide increasingly comprehensive next generation smartphone R&D services to   
existing international device-manufacturer and operator customers as well as to 
new ones. The unit develops smartphones based on new, powerful chipsets from the
world's leading technology suppliers and on the Android and Symbian operating   
systems.                                                                        

The company's clientele comprises globally leading mobile and smartphone        
manufacturers, network suppliers and telecom carriers as well as Finnish        
finance, industrial and service companies and public administration             
organisations.                                                                  

Ixonos has offices in Finland, China, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Great Britain, 
Slovakia and the U.S.                                                           

SEGMENTS                                                                        

Ixonos' business operations are organised into three segments: Mobile Terminals & Software; Media & Communities and Business Solutions. The Mobile Terminals &
Software business area involves product development services for mobile terminal
devices and their software. The Media & Communities area comprises              
device-independent Internet services related to the delivery of digital content 
and to social network communication. The Business Solutions area encompasses    
development services for corporate business software and systems as well as for 
e-government facilities.                                                        

As the Business Solutions area was incorporated, some of its customer projects  
were transferred to the Media & Communities business area during the review     
period. The turnover of those projects was EUR 1.6 million (2009: EUR 1.8       
million) and their operating profit was EUR 0.3 million (2009: EUR 0.5 million).
The change has been taken into account in the presented segment figures for 2010
as well as in their comparative figures.                                        

Mobile Terminals & Software                                                     

The Mobile Terminals & Software business area provides its customers with R&D   
services for mobile terminal devices and software.                              

The Mobile Terminals & Software business area managed to boost its market share 
further as well as to increase turnover and operating profit for the review     
period compared to the previous year. Turnover increased by 39.4 per cent to EUR
37.0 million (2009: EUR 26.5 million). Operating profit increased by 30.9 per   
cent to EUR 5.2 million (2009: EUR 4.0 million), 14.1 per cent of turnover.     
During the review period, the first customer projects related to design of      
complete mobile devices were carried out in the Device Creation Centre.         

In addition to actively using the offering of the Group's international sites in
Tallinn, Košice, Beijing and Chengdu, the Mobile Terminals & Software segment   
kept up its strong efforts to develop international sales. The unit is expected 
also to continue its positive development during the remainder of the year.     

Media & Communities                                                             

The Media & Communities business area provides its customers with               
device-independent Internet services related to the delivery of digital media,  
entertainment and information as well as to social network communication.       

During the review period, the segment's turnover increased by 83.2 per cent to  
EUR 15.4 million (2009: EUR 8.4 million). Operating profit increased by 11.5 per
cent to EUR 0.8 million (2009: EUR 0.8 million), 5.5 per cent of turnover.      

Strong investments in the construction of an international operations network as
well as in the development of partnerships continued to weaken the segment's    
profitability. The Media & Communities area has actively used the offering of   
the Group's lower-cost sites such as the one in Košice.                         

Investments in Internet distribution and sales of digital media as well as in   
social media services on the Internet are expected to grow globally, notably    
faster than traditional ICT investments. The unique and comprehensive service   
package Ixonos offers its customers enables agile and cost-efficient creation of
new Internet services; implementation of a smooth user experience in services   
and mobile terminals; and flexible further development and maintenance -        
including business critical hosting - of services.                              

The turnover of the Media & Communities business area is expected to increase   
forcefully this year. Profitability is anticipated to remain at its present     
level, but the unit's operating profit for this year is forecast to be lower    
than in the previous year.                                                      

Business Solutions                                                              

The Business Solutions area provides development services for corporate business
software and systems as well as for e-government facilities.                    

The turnover of the Business Solutions segment decreased by 6.3 per cent to EUR 
11.8 million (2009: EUR 12.6 million) during the review period. Although        
operating profit remained negative, EUR -0.7 million, the losses were clearly   
reduced in comparison to the previous year (2009: EUR -9.1 million). Weak demand
for ICT services in Finland continued to reduce turnover and operating profit. A
goodwill impairment of EUR 7.2 million decreased the operating profit for the   
reference period. The segment's rationalisation programme, which has continued  
since early 2010, is expected to improve the unit's profitability during the    
last part of the year.                                                          

The Business Solutions area focuses on acceleration of business processes, on   
document and event management, on e-commerce and e-government solutions and on  
specialist services in project management. As all the Group's units do, Business
Solutions vigorously uses open source solutions and, in chosen areas, product   
platforms of technology partners. The unit aims, among other objectives, to     
diversify its solution delivery according to the SaaS (software as a service)   
business model by using the Group's advanced business-critical hosting services.
The Business Solutions unit also aspires to improve its operating efficiency by 
concentrating maintenance and further development of certain product platforms  
so that such work is performed at the Group's site in Košice. The unit's        
e-commerce and e-government solutions have been well received, especially by    
customers in the public sector.                                                 

According to research institutes such as Market-Visio, Finland's ICT market has 
seen moderate growth this year. Due to the continuously weak market situation in
Finland, the Business Solutions area is expected still to develop slower than   
the company's other operations.                                                 

TURNOVER                                                                        

Consolidated turnover for the review period was EUR 61.8 million (2009: EUR 47.6
million), which is 29.8 per cent more than in the previous year. Of the total   
turnover of all segments, before elimination of inter-segment revenue, the      
Mobile Terminals & Software segment accrued 57.6 per cent (2009: 55.8 per cent),
the Media & Communities segment accrued 24.0 per cent (2009: 17.7 per cent) and 
the Business Solutions segment accrued 18.4 per cent (2009: 26.5 per cent).     

Turnover in the third quarter was EUR 19.4 million (2009: EUR 13.8 million),    
which is 39.9 per cent more than in the previous year.

FINANCIAL RESULT                                                                

Consolidated operating profit was EUR 3.5 million (2009: EUR -5.7 million).     
Profit before taxes was EUR 2.8 million (2009: EUR -6.5 million). Profit for the
review period was EUR 2.0 million (2009: EUR -6.7 million). Diluted earnings per
share were EUR 0.16 (2009: EUR -0.57). Diluted cash flow from operating         
activities was EUR 0.07 (2009: EUR 0.16) per share. The improved operating      
profit was due to increased turnover as well as to rationalisation measures in  
the company. To improve the operating profit, particularly in the Business      
Solutions area, a rationalisation programme has been carried out during 2010;   
this programme is expected to enhance the unit's profitability. The Group's     
administrative expenses have increased in particular due to rising costs        
connected to internationalisation management as well as due to non-recurring    
costs. The EUR 0.4 million arbitration expenses relating to the acquisition of  
Cidercone Life-Cycle Solutions Oy had a one-off impact on operating costs, and  
they were expensed in the second quarter.                                       

Operating profit for the third quarter was EUR 1.7 million (2009: EUR -6.7      
million); profit before taxes was EUR 1.6 million (2009: EUR -7.0 million).     
Profit for the third quarter was EUR 1.1 million (2009: EUR -7.1 million).      
Diluted third-quarter earnings per share were EUR 0.08 (2009: EUR -0.6). Diluted
cash flow from operating activities in the third quarter was EUR -0.06 per share
(2009: EUR 0.10).

The EUR 7.2 million goodwill impairment allocated to the Business Solutions unit
has been taken into account in the segment's operating profit for the financial 
period 2009.                                                                    

RETURN ON CAPITAL                                                               

Consolidated return on equity (ROE) was 11.8 per cent (2009: -41.0 per cent).   
Return on investment (ROI) was 11.9 per cent (2009: -18.1 per cent).            

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING                                                     

The balance sheet total was EUR 58.0 million (2009: EUR 48.4 million). Equity   
was EUR 27.0 million (2009: EUR 18.5 million). The equity ratio was 46.5 per    
cent (2009: 38.2 per cent). The Group's liquid assets at the end of the review  
period amounted to EUR 1.3 million (2009: EUR 2.2 million).                     

At the end of the review period, the company's balance sheet showed EUR 12.0    
million (2009: EUR 15.7 million) in bank loans. This amount includes overdraft  
in use. The bank loans have covenants attached to them. The covenants are based 
on the company's equity ratio and on the proportion of interest-bearing bank    
loans (partly interest-bearing net liabilities) to the 12-month rolling         
operating profit.                                                               

The share issue that was carried out in the second quarter significantly        
affected the company's balance sheet structure. The net effect of the share     
issue amounted to some EUR 5.6 million in equity financing raised from          
shareholders. The company's bank loans have decreased by EUR 3.3 million during 
the review period.                                                              

GOODWILL
On 30 September 2010, the consolidated balance sheet included EUR 23.6 million  
in goodwill. In the third quarter of 2009, the company wrote EUR 7.2 million off
the goodwill allocated to the Business Solutions area. The company performed    
impairment testing of goodwill in the Business Solutions area and concluded that
due to the effects of rationalisation measures as well as to improved market    
outlook, no goodwill impairment is required in connection with the unit.        

Pursuant to the arbitral decision of 5 May 2010, Ixonos was to raise by EUR 1.1 
million the additional acquisition price of EUR 7.8 million that Ixonos had paid
to the sellers of Cidercone Life-Cycle Solutions Oy. The entire additional      
acquisition price of EUR 1.1 million was recorded as an addition to goodwill. Of
this addition, EUR 0.8 million was allocated to the previous review period. The 
arbitration caused the company some EUR 0.4 million in costs, which were        
entirely expensed in the second quarter.                                        

CASH FLOW                                                                       

During the review period, consolidated cash flow from operating activities was  
EUR 0.8 million (2009: EUR 1.9 million). Increased turnover and, particularly,  
customers' extended payment terms resulted in a change in working capital, and  
this change contributed to the reduction in cash flow from operating activities.
At 30 September 2010, the company had sold EUR 1.5 million in accounts          
receivable. The company's trade receivables do not include any significant      
amount of high-risk receivables.                                                

PERSONNEL                                                                       

The number of personnel averaged 1,115 (2009: 966) during the review period and 
was 1,134 (2009: 969) at the end of the period. The staff increase focused on   
companies outside Finland. At the end of the review period, the Group had 738   
employees (2009: 724) in Finnish companies, and Group companies in other        
countries had 396 employees (2009: 245).                                        

SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL                                                        

Share turnover and price                                                        

During the review period, the highest price of the company's share was EUR 2.99 
(2009: EUR 3.50), and the lowest price was EUR 1.84 (2009: EUR 1.70). The       
closing price on 30 September 2010 was EUR 2.24 (2009: EUR 3.01). The average   
price over the review period was EUR 2.30 (2009: EUR 2.06). The number of shares
traded during the review period was 1,953,877 (2009: 3,389,744), which          
corresponds to 13.4 per cent (2009: 36.4 per cent) of the total number of shares
at the end of the review period. According to the closing price on 30 September 
2010, the market value of the company's shares was EUR 32,782,073 (2009: EUR    
28,032,389).                                                                    

Share capital                                                                   

At the beginning of 2010, the company's registered share capital was EUR        
372,523.56 and the number of shares was 9,313,089. At the end of the review     
period, Ixonos' registered share capital was EUR 585,394.16 and the total number
of shares was 14,634,854.                                                       

As a result of the rights issue in June 2010, the number of Ixonos shares       
increased by 5,321,765 to 14,634,854 and the share capital increased by EUR     
212,870.60 to EUR 585,394.16. The changes became effective on 1 July 2010, when 
they were entered into the Trade Register.                                      

Option plan 2006                                                                

Under the 2006 stock option plan, 140,000 options have been granted under AI;   
140,000 options under AII; 60,000 options under BI and 60,000 options under BII.
Of the series A options, 15,000 AI options and 25,000 AII options have been     
returned to the company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the option plan.
A total of 30,000 returned series A options have been converted to series B     
options, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the option plan, and    
redistributed. Of the series B options, 5,000 BI options and 10,000 BII options 
have been returned to the company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the   
option plan. The maximum number of shares that can be subscribed for with       
outstanding options under option plan 2006 is 366,500, which is equivalent to   
3.9 per cent of the company's total shares. The subscription period for the 2006
AI options began on 1 October 2007. The subscription period for the AII and BI  
options began on 1 October 2008. The subscription period for the BII options    
began on 1 October 2009. At 30 June 2010, the subscription price is EUR 4.13    
with AI and AII options and EUR 4.92 with BI and BII options. The subscription  
period for the 2006 options ends on 31 December 2011.                           

Because of the rights issue, the company's Board of Directors decided on 1 June 
2010 to modify the subscription ratio and exercise price associated with the    
option rights. The change is intended to ensure equal treatment of option       
holders and shareholders. Under the new subscription ratio, each 2006A and 2006B
option right entitles its holder to subscribe for 1.57 shares. The exercise     
price is based on the market price of the company's share at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki
Ltd from January to March 2006 and 2007. However, the exercise price per share  
is at least EUR 3.0464 with option right 2006A and at least EUR 3.5491 with     
option right 2006B. On exercise, the total number of shares for which the option
holder subscribes is rounded down to the nearest integer. The total exercise    
price is calculated using the rounded number of shares and is rounded to the    
nearest cent. After the change, the maximum number of shares that can be        
subscribed for with option rights is 575,405, which equals 3.9 per cent of the  
number of shares after the rights issue.                                        

The changes became effective on 1 July 2010, when they were entered in the Trade
Register.                                                                       

Shareholders                                                                    

The company had 2,945 shareholders on 30 September 2010 (2009: 3,070). Private  
persons owned 53.7 per cent (2009: 56.8 per cent) and institutions 46.3 per cent
(2009: 43.2 per cent) of the shares. Foreign ownership was 7.2 per cent (2009:  
8.0 per cent) of the total number of shares.                                    
Board authorisations                                                            

At the end of the review period, the Board of Directors held an authorisation,  
granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 1 June 2010, to issue 3,991,324 
shares. The authorisation states that such shares as well as special rights     
entitling to shares may also be issued in a way that deviates from the          
pre-emptive rights of shareholders, if a weighty financial reason for this      
exists as laid out in the Limited Liability Companies Act (624/2006). In such a 
case, the authorisation may be used to finance corporate acquisitions or other  
investments related to the company's operations; to reinforce the commitment of 
employees; and to maintain and improve the Group's solvency. The authorisation  
is effective until the company's next Annual General Meeting.                   

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD                                                  

New incentive plan for the Group's management                                   

On 4 October 2010, a new management incentive plan, pursuant to a decision by   
the Board of Directors of Ixonos Plc, was announced. The purpose of the plan is 
to reinforce management commitment to the company by encouraging management to  
acquire and hold company shares, thereby increasing shareholder value in the    
long term. Through this incentive plan, President and CEO Kari Happonen and nine
other members of Ixonos' management invest their personal funds in the company's
shares, genuinely carrying the risk of their investment. The number of          
participants in the plan may later be increased with additional members of the  
company's management. For the purpose of share ownership, the participants      
establish the limited liability company Ixonos Management Invest Oy, whose      
entire share capital they own.                                                  

On 26 October 2010, the Board of Directors approved Ixonos Management Invest    
Oy's subscription for 467,630 shares in accordance with the incentive plan and  
with the share issue directed at Ixonos Management Invest Oy. The shares will be
subject to public trading together with the other shares in Ixonos Plc on       
approximately 15 November 2010. The number of shares in Ixonos Plc after the    
directed issue is 15,102,484.                                                   

Export of an e-government service model to China in the DigiEcoCity project     

Ixonos will design and implement the architecture model for the e-government    
services of the model cities that will be founded in China as part of the       
DigiEcoCity project. DigiEcoCity Ltd, a Finnish company, chose Ixonos to        
establish uniform design principles for an ecosystem of digital solutions.      
Having a defined architecture model for e-government services will facilitate   
the construction of cities that conform to unified ecological and digital       
principles. The project will use e-government solutions developed in-house by   
Ixonos. Free use of these solutions was offered to public administrations and   
service developers as early as in 2009. The solutions have previously been      
applied, for example, to the citizens' portal solution for the city of Oulu.    

RISK MANAGEMENT AND NEAR-FUTURE UNCERTAINTY FACTORS                             

Ixonos Plc's risk management aims to ensure undisturbed continuity and          
development of the company's operations, to back up the implementation of the   
commercial targets set by the company and to support increasing the company's   
value. Details on the risk management organisation and process as well as on    
recognised risks are presented on the company's website, at                     
www.ixonos.com/en/investors/risk_management.                                    

The potential ramifications of the recession that afflicted the entire world in 
2009 continue to influence corporate investments and propensity to invest, as   
does the prevailing economic uncertainty. The latter also affects the           
information systems development investments of Ixonos' customers: such          
investments may be put on hold, or decisions regarding them may be postponed.   

Changes in key customer relationships may have an adverse effect on Ixonos'     
operations, earning power and financial status. Should a major customer switch  
its purchases from Ixonos to its competitors, Ixonos would have limited ability 
to acquire, in the short term, new customer volume to compensate for the change.

Ixonos' acquisitions, its rapid growth in 2006-2008 and 2010, the upswing in its
project operations and the prolonged turnaround time of accounts receivable have
increased the company's need for working capital. The company manages this need 
by creating, together with financiers, adequate buffers to ensure sufficient    
funds as well as by facilitating the circulation of working capital. The        
company's balance sheet also includes a significant amount of goodwill, which   
may be impaired should either internal or external factors reduce the profit    
expectations of the company or any of its cash-generating units. Goodwill is    
tested annually during the final quarter of the year and, if necessary, at other
times.                       

The company's financial agreements have covenants attached to them. A covenant  
violation may cause an increase in the company's financing costs or a call for  
swift partial or full repayment of non-equity loans. The main risks related to  
covenant violations are associated with operating profit fluctuation due to the 
market situation and with a potential need to increase the company's working    
capital through non-equity funding. The company manages these risks by          
negotiating with financiers and by maintaining readiness for various financing  
methods. Ixonos has in use the cash funds its normal operations require.        

FUTURE PROSPECTS                                                                

Gartner research indicates that the total trade volume of the industry has      
started to increase in 2010. According to Market-Visio, Finland's ICT market has
begun to grow moderately this year.                                             

Turnover in the final quarter of this year is forecast to exceed substantially  
turnover for the corresponding period last year. Operating profit in the final  
quarter is expected to be at least at the level of operating profit for the     
previous year. Turnover for the entire year is predicted clearly to surpass that
of the previous year. Operating profit for the entire year is anticipated       
distinctly to exceed operating profit for the previous year (before the goodwill
impairment in 2009).                                                            

The company aims to continue rationalising its operations, developing its       
services, expanding its service production in lower-cost countries and          
strengthening the cash flow and profitability of its operations.

THE IXONOS GROUP                                                                

ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2010                  

Accounting policies 

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and     
valuation principles in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), 
but not all IAS 34 requirements have been complied with. Income tax expense is  
based on the performance-based taxes corresponding to the result for the review 
period.                                                                         
The same accounting policies and techniques as in the previous annual financial 
statement have been applied to this interim report. In addition, the new IAS and
IFRS standards that have been introduced in 2010 have been applied. The most    
significant such standards are IFRS 3 (revised), Business Combinations and IAS  
27 (revised), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.                   

Preparing the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Ixonos'     
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets  
and liabilities on the balance sheet date as well as the amounts of income and  
expenses for the financial period. In addition, judgment must be used in        
applying the accounting policies. As the estimates and assumptions are based on 
views at the time of the interim report, they involve risks and uncertainty     
factors. Actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions.              

The figures in the income statement and in the balance sheet are consolidated.  
The consolidated balance sheet includes all Group companies. The original       
interim report is in Finnish. The interim report in English is a translation of 
the original report.                                                            

As the figures in the report have been rounded, sums of individual figures may  
differ from the sums presented. The interim report is unaudited.
