NET SALES AND RESULT

Proha is a global software company focusing on maximizing its 
customers' business performance by providing management 
solutions. The Proha Group's net sales in 2001 increased by 129% 
to EUR 82.8 million (EUR 36.15 million in 2000). Earnings before 
financial expenses, taxes, and depreciation (EBITDA) stood at 
EUR -4.4 million (EUR 3.8 million in 2000).

Net sales include approximately EUR 1.0 million revenue 
recognition from Germany and Italy that in accordance with the 
Finnish and local accounting principles must be entered as 
income. However, in accordance with the US accounting principles 
revenue recognition cannot be entered as income until the sum is 
paid into the company's account. The difference is due to 
different contractual usage.

EUR 1.9 million in 2000. Result before appropriations and taxes 
was EUR -7.2 million (EUR 1.5 million in 2000), which is -8.7%

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act.

The Group structure was simplified by transfering 
Proha's partly-owned Artemis companies to the subsidiaries of 
Artemis International Solutions Corporation in line with the 
operative structure.

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were 
consolidated into the Group in accordance with the Finnish 
Accounting Act.

All subsidiaries acquired during the financial year 2001 were 
consolidated from the date the responsibility for their 
operations was transfered to the Group. Opus360 Corporation, now 
Artemis International Solutions Corporation, was consolidated as 
of August 1, 2001, although the transaction was completed in a 
two-step process. In the participating interests not 
consolidated, the Group's holding is less than 20% or the Group 
has no significant influence within the company.

Internal shareholdings were eliminated by using the pooling 
method, if the conditions for the use of pooling were fulfilled.

JST Investments Ltd and PMsoft Korea, acquired in January 2001, 
as well as Opus360 Corporation were consolidated using the 
acquisition cost method in accordance with the Statement of the 
Finnish Accounting Board, October 1999, by entering the amount 
of the issue as acquisition cost. Other internal shareholdings 
were eliminated by using the acquisition cost method.

Goodwill is depreciated in 3 years except the goodwill from the 
Artemis companies, which is depreciated in 10 years. The 
negative goodwill originating from the Opus360 transaction will 
be depreciated during 11 months from the date of acquisition.

Amortization of negative goodwill

The negative goodwill of EUR 6.15 million originating from the 
Opus360 Corporation transaction will be amortized during 11 
months starting from August 1, 2001. In 2001, the amortization 
of negative goodwill was EUR 2.8 million.

Depreciation of goodwill

Goodwill for Artemis companies will be depreciated in 10 years 
and for other companies in 3 years. In 2001, the depreciation of 
goodwill was EUR 1.9 million.

Minority interest of Opus360 Corporation

For the minority shareholders of Opus, a minority interest of 
20% is presented separately from the capital and reserves at the 
time of the purchase and the result for the period, a total of 
EUR 0.6 million. 

Fixed assets assessment

The depreciation plan of machinery and equipment was altered 
from the previous year. According to plan, the depreciation 
period is 3-10 years. Straight-line depreciation is used as a 
depreciation method.

Research and development expenses were EUR 11.6 million of which 
EUR 0.4 million was activated in the balance sheet and EUR 11.2 
million was entered as expense.

Company shares

The Group has no Proha Plc shares. The 1,960,180 Proha Plc 
shares owned by Artemis Acquisition Corporation at the beginning 
of the financial year 2001 were cancelled.

EVENTS AFTER THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2001

The development of the Group structure

At the end of year 2001, Proha began to examine the possibility 
to demerge the Group into global Artemis software business and 
Nordic software and service business.

The Proha Board of Directors decided to continue to study 
various alternatives to develop the Group structure. The study 
continues to explore to increase the free float of Artemis 
shares in the US-markets and to strengthen the Nordic business 
operations. The demerger is not considered the most probable 
alternative, and no demerger actions should be expected in the 
near future.

Increases in the share capital

In January 2002, Proha acquired the remaining 43.2% share in the 
German Artemis International GmbH. In the directed issue, the 
shareholders of the German Artemis were offered a total of 
312,920 new Proha Plc shares, with a book parity of EUR 
81.359,20. This directed issue was in accordance with the 
purchase agreement made on September 1, 2000, according to which 
Proha acquired 30.8% of the shares of the German Artemis. A 
total of 500,370 Proha Plc shares, with a book parity of EUR 
130,096.20, were offered in the purchase. The shares were 
transfered to Artemis International Solutions Corporation as the 
final payment of the share exchange agreement signed between 
Proha Plc and Opus360 Corporation on April 11, 2001.

In January 2002, the Proha Board of Directors used the option to 
acquire the remaining 40% of the Norwegian Safran Software 
Solutions AS (Safran) shares as per purchase agreement of April 
6, 2000. In the directed issue, the shareholders of Safran were 
offered a total of 500,000 new Proha Plc shares, with a book 
parity of EUR 130,000.00. A total of 2,000,000 Proha Plc shares, 
with a book parity of EUR 520,000.00, were offered in the 
purchase.

Proha sold its investment in Widene Oy

In January 2002, Proha Plc sold its share in Widene Oy, an IT 
growth company, in which Proha made a capital investment in 
November 2000. The price corresponded to the original investment 
and it was not disclosed, since it was such a small part of 
Proha's business.

Intellisoft outsourced the server maintenance

In January 2002, Intellisoft decided to subcontract the hosting 
and network services to Xenetic Oy. Intellisoft focuses on its

Artemis' partnership agreement with Severn

In February 2002, Artemis International Solutions Corporation 
and Severn Consultancy, an international management consultancy, 
signed a strategic partnership agreement to sell and implement 
Artemis PortfolioDirector into Severn's client base in Europe.

financial year 2002 is based on profitability without growth. 
However, a 20% growth in net sales is set as a sales target.

Result for the first quarter in 2002 (EBITDA) is expected to exceed
the budget and be slightly positive. Because of seasonal fluctuations,
the result is anticipated to improve during the last quarter.
