PROHA CEO ILARI KOSKELO:
Proha operations have been considerably altered during the end of the first
quarter and after it. Both the organization and business models have been
revised. The employees in Finland, Sweden, Norway and around the world have
perceived the change very positively and at the same time the renewed corporate
culture has facilitated the recruitment of new personnel.
The response from the organization has helped the corporate management to locate
problem areas and understand the market better. Improving the performance of
Proha has been experienced as a common goal by all staff.
In our opinion the change in Proha's strategy and corporate culture is
substantial and therefore the conventional full financial year 2008 analysis is
not relevant. Instead, the first half year should be analyzed separate as being
before the corporate change and the latter half of 2008 as after the change.

PROHA PLC'S REVISED STRATEGY
On March 30, 2008 the Proha Board of Directors approved the revised strategy for
Proha Group. The revisions to the strategy aim at improving profitability and
aligning the group structure to better meet the market needs.
Improved profitability will be targeted by the entire organization through more
efficient use of resources and by strengthening sales and marketing efforts. For
Dovre division, expansion to more comprehensive service concepts and effective
recruiting of junior professionals are primary ways to improve profitability.
The reporting structure of Proha was adjusted by placing Norwegian Safran
Software Solutions AS under Dovre division. Dovre continues to focus on serving
companies in the oil and gas industry globally and other capital investment
projects in Nordic countries. In Norway, Safran Software Solutions AS continues
to serve also a broader scope of customers.
The remaining units of the previous Safran Systems division, which now mainly
operate in Finland and Sweden, will deepen their co-operation and make their
products more uniform and services portfolio. The division was renamed Camako
and its products are being rebranded. Camako's operations will focus on Northern
European markets. Elsewhere its international distribution network will mainly
be based on independent distributors.
IFRS REPORTING
The reporting structure of the Group has been altered in accordance with the new
divisional structure so that Dovre, Camako and other operations constitute
separately reporting business segments. Other operations consist of Proha Group
administration. The figures for January 1 - March 31, 2008 together with the
comparative data are presented according to the before mentioned business
segments.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Dovre division:
In the first quarter of 2008 there have not been any major changes in the
business. The level of activity is high within all geographical areas. In Norway
three major consulting projects were started in January. Also five new
agreements were signed outside the oil and gas industry. The international
operations of major oil companies continue to be the focus area for the
division's US activities. The Canadian operations have gained three new
customers in East Canada while business in Alberta continues brisk.
The Norwegian Safran Software business has developed positively with new
customers for Safran products and existing customers purchasing additional
licenses and maintenance. Also, two new distribution agreements were signed in
the USA through Safran North America LLC.
The markets continue strong and no major changes are foreseen in demand. In all
geographical areas the ability to recruit professionals continues challenging.
Camako division:
In Sweden the divisions operations continued steady with stable ongoing customer
relationships. Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) systems are the
core business of Camako division. The demand continues steady with increased
interest in resource management. New employees will be starting in the second
quarter to meet the demand and enhance growth.
Also in Finland the demand for Microsoft EPM systems and project management
continues to grow. With Microsoft Sharepoint platform gaining popularity among
business solutions also opportunities for Proha's SafranOne software products as
part of EPM offerings are developing. SafranOne products will be introduced to
Swedish and Norwegian markets in the near future according to Proha's new
strategy.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE
The demand in oil and gas sector together with the level of investments in the
sector impact the success of Dovre division. The companies operating in oil and
gas industry are challenged also by the adequacy of resources and added
personnel turnover.
General competitive situation and technological solutions developed by the
competition impact the business of Camako division. The profitable growth for
Camako business calls for success in Microsoft cooperation and creation of
international distribution and partner networks.
The development of Proha's international business includes also possible
acquisitions and shareholdings in companies operating in the field. Such
acquisitions always include risks. They are being managed, among others, by
ensuring that the size of acquisitions is reasonable.
EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD
On April 8, 2008 Proha Plc issued a profit warning of that the charges relating
to restructuring activities will cause the second quarter result to at a loss
and will have a negative impact on the annual result. Due to restructuring
charges, the company will have a challenge to reach a positive operating profit
for 2008.
On May 7, 2008 Timo Saros was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of Camako
division. Timo Saros has previously functioned e.g. as the managing director of
Artemis Finland Oy.
As Timo Saros was appointed to the Proha Group management team also the
composition of the management team was revised to include Proha CEO Ilari
Koskelo, Executive Vice President Janne Rainvuori, Chief Financial Officer Sirpa
Haavisto and Managing Director of Dovre International AS Arve Jensen. Also other
people may participate in the management team operations depending on the issues
at hand.
PROSPECTS FOR 2008
Proha's strategy, revised on March 30, 2008, will change both the Group
structure and operational practices. The organizational changes and enhancement
of operations are advancing as planned.
According to current estimates, the restructuring charges of the actions already
taken amount to approximately EUR 0.9 million (including among others the
severance pay for the former CEO) and they will be charged to profits on the
second quarter. Consequently, the second quarter will remain at loss. Due to
restructuring charges the previously issued guidance for 2008 with a positive
operating profit is considered challenging.
The market outlook is anticipated to continue positive. The level of investments
within oil and gas industry is estimated to stay high and consequently the
demand for professional services by Dovre division is anticipated to remain
strong. The business models and management practices of Dovre will be revised.
The international growth of Dovre is anticipated to continue strong, but the aim
is to improve profitability.
The Norwegian operations of Safran Software Solutions AS are anticipated to
develop well and it seeks growth in the US markets through its associated
company Safran North America.
The EPM service business of Camako division is anticipated to grow rapidly and
profitably both in Finland and in Sweden. In Norway the business is still at a
development phase, but supported by the Finnish and Swedish units the EPM
service business can be quickly strengthened also in Norway. The software
business of Camako division is not yet profitable and it remains a challenge for
the new management to strengthen sales and marketing of SafranOne family of
products and to gain a substantial position for the products within the Nordic
markets. Although the product is ready its success requires success in sales and
marketing.
According to the new strategy Camako business is not intended to expand through
acquisitions outside Northern Europe. Risk free distribution agreements are,
however, being negotiated with local companies e.g. in Eastern Europe and
Singapore.
The above prospects are based on forecasts approved by Proha Board.

NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACQUISITION OF DATATRON
In the first quarter of 2008, Proha Plc decided to use the right by the option
agreement to acquire 40% of the Datatron Oy share capital. After the option
right was used Proha Plc owns 60% of Datatron Oy. Datatron Oy is consolidated in
the Proha group financial statements beginning March 31, 2008. The acquisition
of Datatron Oy does not have a material impact on net sales or result of Proha
Group in 2008.
The acquisition cost of the shares of EUR 135 thousand added with the potential
premium to be paid based on the 2008 result. Camako's acquisition cost is
approximately EUR 154 thousand according to estimates on March 31, 2008. The
fixed part of EUR 132 thousand of the purchase price was paid by EUR 66 thousand
in cash installment and EUR 66 thousand in new Proha Plc shares.
EUR 24 thousand of the acquisition cost is allocated to customer relations. Of
the acquisition, EUR 92 thousand is recognized as goodwill.
