Kari Happonen, President and CEO:
Following the economic recession that marked 2009, general demand for ICT
services is now on a path of moderate growth. In the first quarter of this year,
demand for Ixonos' services has also continued the growth that recommenced at
the end of last year. The tight market situation in Finland has nevertheless
affected the company's profitability, which has not yet risen to its normal
level.
The Mobile Terminals & Software business area, which provides R&D services for
mobile terminal devices and their software, has succeeded in further boosting
its turnover as well as in maintaining moderate profitability. We anticipate the
unit to continue its growth throughout this year. Projects involving design of
complete mobile devices are being carried out in the Jyväskylä product creation
center that was established in autumn 2009. These projects accelerate the growth
of the segment's business operations.
The Media & Communities business area develops device-independent Internet
services related to the delivery of digital media as well as to social network
communication. This business area has recovered from last year's temporary
reduction in turnover. The decrease had been caused by certain long-term
customer projects ending. Now, the segment's turnover has continued the growth
that began in the third quarter of 2009. We also expect the unit to grow
strongly in the following quarters this year.
The Business Solutions area, which provides development and implementation of
online services in telecommunication, finance, and public administration, has
continued to suffer from the difficult market situation in Finland. The unit's
turnover in the first quarter decreased from the previous year's level and
operations continued to show a loss. A rationalisation program has been launched
in the business area and is expected to improve the unit's profitability from
the second quarter of this year. The program seeks to achieve some EUR 1 million
in annual savings. The profitability of the unit is expected to reach a
reasonable level in the last part of the year.
According to market forecasts by research institutes, Finland's ICT market will
see a slight upswing this year. The global market is expected to grow clearly
faster than the Finnish market. We expect that the volume of the Group's
business will continue to grow and that profitability will develop favourably
during the year.
BUSINESS 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 corporate customers capitalise on
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. The Jyväskylä smartphone product
development centre (Product Creation Center) that was established in September
2009 expanded the Group's mobile terminal R&D services to cover mechanical
engineering and electronics design in addition to software development. With the
centre, Ixonos can provide increasingly comprehensive R&D services for next
generation smartphones 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 a part of the incorporation of the Business
Solutions segment some Business Solutions' customer projects were transferred to
the Media & Communities segment. Total turnover of the transferred projects was
EUR 0.6 million (Q1/2009: EUR 0.8 million) and operating profit EUR 0.1 million
(Q1/2009: EUR 0.3 million). The transfer of projects has been taken into
account both in the presented segment figures of first quarter of 2010 and in
the comparative figures of previous year.
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 and to increase turnover and operating profit for the review period
compared to the previous year. Turnover increased by 25.9 per cent to EUR 11.8
million (2009: EUR 9.4 million). Operating profit increased by 17.4 per cent to
EUR 1.2 million (2009: EUR 1.0 million), 10.4 per cent of turnover. The first
customer projects related to the design of a complete mobile device were
launched in the Jyväskylä product creation center.
In addition to actively utilising the offering of the Group's international
sites in Tallinn, Košice, Beijing and Chengdu, the Mobile Terminals & Software
segment also continued strong efforts to develop international sales.
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 68.1 per cent to
EUR 5.1 million (2009: EUR 3.0 million). Operating profit decreased by 25.7 per
cent to EUR 0.4 million (2009: EUR 0.5 million), 7.2 per cent of turnover.
Strong investments in the construction of the company's international operations
network continued to weaken the unit's profitability. The Media & Communities
segment has actively utilised the offering of the Group's lower-cost sites among
others 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 and 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 unit's turnover is expected to increase forcefully this year. Profitability
is anticipated to remain at its present level.
Business Solutions
The Business Solutions area provides development services pertaining to
corporate business software and systems as well as to e-government facilities.
The Business Solutions segment's turnover decreased by 8.2 per cent to EUR 4.6
million (2009: EUR 4.6 million). Operating profit remained negative and it was
EUR -0.3 million even though it was less than in the previous year (2009: EUR
-0.6 million). The reduction in turnover and operating profit was caused by the
attenuated general demand for ICT services in Finland due to the economic
recession.
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 utilises open source solutions as well as, in chosen
solution 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 utilising the Group's advanced
business-critical hosting services. The Business Solutions unit also aspires to
improve its operative 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 by customers in the public sector.
According to forecasts by research institutes such as Market-Visio, Finland's
ICT market will see moderate growth in 2010. Due to the continuously weak
market situation in Finland, the Business Solutions area will continue to
develop slower than the company's other operations.
TURNOVER
Consolidated turnover in the first quarter was EUR 20.5 million (2009: EUR 17.4
million), which is 17.7 per cent more than in the previous year. Of the total
turnover of all segments, before eliminations, the Mobile Terminals & Software
segment accrued 55.0 per cent (2009: 53.9 per cent), the Media & Communities
segment accrued 23.7 per cent (2009: 17.4 per cent), and the Business Solutions
segment accrued 21.3 per cent (2009: 28.7 per cent).
Turnover by segment:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL RESULT
Consolidated operating profit was EUR 0.6 million (2009: EUR 0.0 million).
Profit before taxes was EUR 0.3 million (2009: EUR -0.3 million). Profit for the
review period was EUR 0.3 million (2009: EUR -0.2 million). Diluted earnings per
share were EUR 0.03 (2009: EUR -0.03). Diluted cash flow from operating
activities was EUR -0.21 (2009: EUR 0.02) per share. The improved operating
profit was mainly due to increased turnover. To improve the operating profit,
particularly in the Business Solutions area, a rationalisation program was
launched in the first quarter. The program is expected to enhance the unit's
profitability from the second quarter of this year. Rising costs related to
internationalisation management have been a particular cause for the increase in
the Group's administrative expenses.
Operating profit by segment:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| EUR 1,000 | 1-3 2010 | 1-3 2009 | 1-12 2009 |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RETURN ON CAPITAL
Consolidated return on equity (ROE) was 5.5 per cent (2009: -3.7 per cent).
Return on investment (ROI) was 6.4 per cent (2009: 0.0 per cent).
BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING
The balance sheet total was EUR 55.4 million (2009: EUR 58.8 million).
Shareholders' equity was EUR 19.5 million (2009: EUR 24.9 million). The equity
ratio was 35.2 per cent (2009: 42.4 per cent). The Group's liquid assets at the
end of the review period amounted to EUR 1.3 million (2009: EUR 2.3 million).
At the end of the review period, the company's balance sheet showed EUR 17.2
million (2009: EUR 8.7 million) in bank loans including overdrafts 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.
GOODWILL
On 31 March 2010, the consolidated balance sheet included EUR 22.8 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.
Ixonos Plc paid EUR 7.8 million as additional acquisition price in accordance
with the share purchase agreement, signed on 4 September 2007, for Cidercone
Life-Cycle Solutions Oy (later Ixonos Outsourcing Services Ltd). This amount is
based on Ixonos Plc's view of the correct additional acquisition price.
Negotiations with the selling party have failed to reach an agreement on the
amount of the additional acquisition price. To solve the disagreement regarding
the additional acquisition price, arbitration has been initiated at the
Arbitration Institute of the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland. In their
request for arbitration, the sellers claim an additional acquisition price of
some EUR 8 million. The company considers the supplementary demand unfounded.
The arbitrator's decision is expected during spring 2010 at the latest. Should
the arbitral tribunal, counter to the company's opinion, order the company to
pay a higher additional acquisition price, the entire increase would be recorded
as an addition to goodwill.
CASH FLOW
During the review period, consolidated cash flow from operating activities was
EUR -2.0 million (2009: EUR 0.2 million). The change in cash flow from operating
activities was mainly due to the change in the Group's working capital and,
above all, to increases in accounts receivable. Factors contributing to the
latter increase include the boost in the Group's turnover as well as the late
payment behaviour of customers. At 31 March 2010, the company had sold EUR 2.1
million in accounts receivable.
PERSONNEL
The number of personnel averaged 1,092 (2009: 971) during the review period and
was 1,105 (2009: 975) at the end of the period. Although the rationalisation
action in the Group's Finnish companies decreased the number of employees, the
growing number of staff employed by companies in other countries nevertheless
resulted in an overall increase. At the end of the review period, the Group had
757 employees in Finnish companies, and Group companies in other countries
employed 348.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
Share turnover and price
During the review period, the highest price of the company's share was EUR 3.10
(2009: EUR 2.59) and the lowest EUR 2.71 (2009: EUR 1.80). The closing price on
31 March 2010 was EUR 3.03 (2009: EUR 1.88). The average price over the review
period was EUR 2.89 (2009: EUR 2.07). The number of shares traded during the
review period was 414,481 (2009: 1,035,361), which corresponds to 4.5 per cent
(2009: 11.1 per cent) of the total number of shares at the end of the review
period. According to the closing price on 31 March 2010, the market value of the
company's shares was EUR 28,218,660 (2009: EUR 17,508,607).
Share capital
At the beginning of 2010, the company's registered share capital was EUR
372,523.56. The number of shares was 9,313,089. At the end of the review period,
Ixonos' share capital was EUR 372,523.56 and the total number of shares was
9,313,089.
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

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. 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.
Shareholders
The company had 2,979 shareholders on 31 March 2010 (2009: 2,801). Private
persons owned 56.5 per cent (2009: 59.0 per cent) and institutions 43.5 per cent
(2009: 41.0 per cent) of the shares. Foreign ownership was 7.4 per cent (2009:
2.0 per cent) of the total number of shares.
Board authorisations
At the end of the review period, the Board of Directors had no valid
authorisations pertaining to the company's shares.
DECISIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Ixonos Plc held its Annual General Meeting on 23 March 2010. The meeting adopted
the company's financial statements, including the consolidated financial
statements, for the financial period 1 January - 31 December 2009 and granted
discharge from liability to the members of the Board of Directors as well as to
the President and CEO.
The meeting decided that no dividend would be paid for the financial period and
that eight ordinary members would be elected to the Board of Directors instead
of seven as previously.
The meeting elected the Board of Directors. Peter Eriksson, Pertti Ervi, Matti
Järvinen, Tero Laaksonen, Matti Makkonen and Markku Toivanen were re-elected,
and Paul Ehrnrooth and Kirsi-Marja Kuivalainen were elected as new Board
members.
At its own meeting following the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors
re-elected Tero Laaksonen as Chairman of the Board and Pertti Ervi as Deputy
Chairman. The meeting also appointed the members of the Board's committees.
Pertti Ervi was elected Chairman of the Audit Committee, and Paul Ehrnrooth and
Matti Järvinen were elected as Audit Committee members. Peter Eriksson,
Kirsi-Marja Kuivalainen and Markku Toivanen were elected as members of the Staff
Committee. Paul Ehrnrooth and Tero Laaksonen were elected as members of the
Nomination Committee.
The Annual General Meeting decided to remunerate the Chairman of the Board of
Directors with EUR 40,000 per year and EUR 500 per meeting, the Deputy Chairman
of the Board with EUR 30,000 per year and EUR 250 per meeting, and other Board
members with EUR 20,000 per year and EUR 250 per meeting. The meeting also
resolved to pay a fee of EUR 500 per meeting to the chairpersons of the Board's
committees, and a fee of EUR 250 per meeting to committee members.
Authorized public accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy with Heikki Lassila as
principal auditor were re-nominated as the company's auditors. The meeting
decided to pay a reasonable auditor's fee according to the auditor's invoice.
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.
Presently, the major uncertainty factors are related to potential ramifications
of the recession that struck the entire world in 2009. The general economic
uncertainty influences corporate investments and propensity to invest. It
affects the information systems development investments of Ixonos' customers
too; such investments may be put on hold, or decisions regarding them may be
postponed.
Ixonos' acquisitions, its rapid growth in 2006-2008, 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 this risk by negotiating
with financiers and by maintaining readiness for various financing methods.
Ixonos has access to the cash funds its normal operations require.
Ixonos Plc has recorded EUR 7.8 million as additional acquisition price in
accordance with the share purchase agreement, signed on 4 September 2007, for
Cidercone Life-Cycle Solutions Oy (later Ixonos Outsourcing Services Ltd). This
amount is based on Ixonos Plc's view of the additional acquisition price.
Negotiations with the selling party have failed to reach an agreement on the
amount of the additional acquisition price. To solve the disagreement,
arbitration is underway at the Arbitration Institute of the Central Chamber of
Commerce of Finland. In the request for arbitration, the sellers claim an
additional acquisition price of some EUR 8 million in excess of the additional
acquisition price that has already been paid. The arbitrator's decision is
expected during spring 2010.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Gartner research indicates that the total trade volume of the industry decreased
globally in 2009 and has begun to increase in 2010. Market-Visio notes that
Finland's ICT market tailed off in 2009, but expects it to grow moderately in
2010.
The general economic uncertainty also causes Ixonos' customers to remain more
cautious than usual in their software and information systems investments as
well as in the launching of new projects. Additionally, services are affected by
price pressure, particularly in the context of international customer
relationships.
Turnover in the second quarter of this year is forecast to substantially surpass
turnover for the corresponding period last year. Operating profit for the second
quarter is envisaged to be at least at the same level as in the previous year.
Turnover for the entire year is predicted to clearly exceed that of the previous
year. Operating profit for the entire year is forecast to be clearly positive.
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.

ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2010
Accounting policies
This 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 computation methods that were applied to the
previous annual financial statements have been applied to this interim report.
In addition, the new IAS and IFRS standards that have been introduced in 2010
have also been applied, the most significant ones being 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 affecting the amounts of assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet date and 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 may 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
not equal the sums presented. The interim report is unaudited.
