NEW STRATEGY FOR PROHA
On October 25, 2006 the Proha Board of Directors approved the new
strategy for Proha. Proha is one of the leading software and
service companies specializing in project management. Proha
supports customers executing projects and managing project
business by providing a comprehensive set of tools and services
with the best project management practices.
Proha Group consists of two divisions: Dovre Consulting and
Services division and Safran Systems division.
Dovre Consulting and Services division provides project and supply
chain management consulting and services. Dovre Consulting and
Services division consists of Dovre International AS and its
recently acquired Fabcon companies. The division focuses on
project management and supply chain management services mainly
within oil and gas sector. Dovre has subsidiaries in the USA and
Great Britain and Fabcon in Canada, United States, France,
Singapore, Nigeria and Great Britain. In addition, Fabcon has
branch offices in Russia and South Korea.
The software business of Proha is reorganized by establishing the
internationally operating Safran Systems division. Safran Systems
division develops,sells and supports project management software.
The operations and products of Proha’s Norwegian subsidiary Safran
Software Solutions AS, Finnish subsidiary Datamar Oy as well as
the Proha Mobile Business Unit are organized as Safran Systems
division.
Safran Software Solutions AS is a Norwegian company specializing
in project management software for the oil and gas sector. Finnish
Datamar Oy offers tailored software solutions in client/server and
Internet environments.
Proha is a Microsoft Gold Certified partner and Safran is one of
the few official international launch partners for Microsoft
Project 2007.
In addition to organic growth, Proha Group will seek growth by
expanding its international sales and services network through
acquisitions. The growth through a series of structured
acquisitions is intended to be gained at a low risk level by
maintaining a moderate level of capital employed and not
committing the group’s cash funds extensively.
As part of thenew strategy and group structure Proha redefined
management responsibilities and selected a new management team.
The members of the new management team are Pekka Pere as the
chairman, Arve Jensen, Birger Flaa, Steinar Dalva, Sirpa Haavisto
and Pekka Halonen. Janne Rainvuori as the corporate counsel
will be the secretary of the management team.
IFRS REPORTING
These financial statements of Proha have been prepared according
to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In
preparing the financial statements, the IAS and IFRS standards and
SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid on December 31, 2006 have been
followed.
On October 26, 2006 Proha published the new strategy that includes
the establishment of two business divisions. The Group reporting
structure has been changed to follow the new divisional
organization with Dovre Consulting and Services, Safran Systems,
and other operations forming separate reporting business segments.
The Group’s segment reporting is based primarily on business
segments and secondarily on geographical segments.
In the new reporting structure Dovre Consulting and Services
division includes the Norwegian companies Dovre International AS
and Dovre Fabcon AS with their international subsidiaries. Safran
Systems business is operated by the Group parent company, Datamar
Oy and Norwegian Safran Software Solutions AS. Other operations
consist mainly of Group administration.
The geographical segments are: EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and
Africa), Americas and APAC (Asia Pacific including Australia and
New Zealand). The net sales per geographical segment are presented
by customer’s location and assets by their locations.
PROHA DIVESTED ITS OWNERSHIP AT ARTEMIS
The divestment of Artemis International Solutions Corporation
(Artemis) was closed on June 30, 2006. Proha has issued stock
exchange bulletins on the transaction on March 13, 2006, April 3,
2006, June 9, 2006 and July 3, 2006.
The agreement of Artemis divestment does not include non-
competition clauses. The future development of Artemis does not
cause any obligations for Proha.
The divestment of Artemis has material impact on both the extent
of the Group operations and the Group structure. The Group’s
result for the period includes approx. EUR 14.5 million gain on
disposal for the sale of Artemis shares. Due to the fixed sale
price, Artemis’ result of EUR -3.1 million for the period January
1, - June 30, 2006 increased the gain on disposal by approximately
EUR 3.1 million, because the items of Artemis income statement
were consolidated in the Proha Group’s income statement until the
closing date June 30, 2006.
Artemis sub-group that has been a separate reporting segment and a
group of cash flow generating units has been classified as
discontinued operation according to IFRS 5 standard.
Proha got approximately EUR 10.0 million for its 53.3% ownership
in Artemis and the amount was paid in cash in July 2006.
PROHA ACQUIRED BUSINESS OPERATIONS OF FABCON
Dovre Fabcon AS, founded by Proha’s Norwegian subsidiary Dovre
International AS, purchased the business operations and overseas
subsidiaries of Fabcon Management AS in 2006. Fabcon is
consolidated in Proha’s group financial statements beginning May
1, 2006. The purchase enhances growth of both Proha and its
subsidiary Dovre and strengthens their position in the fast
growing markets. Proha has issued stock exchange bulletins on the
acquisition on April 4, 2006 and May 12, 2006.
The cost of Fabcon acquisition is approximately NOK 24.8 million
(approx. EUR 3.2 million) according to the estimate at the end of
the period under review. In addition to the acquisition price of
NOK 24.4 million (approx. EUR 3.1 million) the cost of acquisition
includes costs directly attributable to the acquisition for
approx. NOK 0.4 million (approx. EUR 0.1 million).
The purchase price will be paid in two installments. The first
installment of approximately NOK 16.3 million (approx. EUR 2.1
million) was paid in June 2006. The final purchase price is
dependent on Fabcon's result for 2006 and some other customary
terms and conditions. The rest of the purchase price will be at
the most NOK 8.0 million (approx. EUR 1.0 million) and will be
paid on December 31, 2007 at the latest. The estimated second
installment of EUR 1.0 million of the purchase price is included
in the accrued liabilities of the current liabilities in the Group
balance sheet on December 31, 2006.
Of the cost of acquisition of approximately EUR 0.5 million was
allocated to customer agreements and customer relations.
Consequently approximately EUR 0.2 million was recognized as
deferred tax liability. The fair value of the acquired net assets
was approximately EUR 1.8 million. The goodwill of approximately
EUR 1.5 million was recognized for the acquisition, based on the
Proha estimate that Fabcon acquisition will increase Dovre’s
growth and strengthen Dovre’s position in the global gas industry
markets with the help of Fabcon’s international network. Following
the acquisition Proha is better able to serve its international
oil and gas sector customers. For the period May 1, - December 31,
2006 Fabcon’s share of the Group result was EUR 0.4 million. The
assets and liabilities recognized of the acquiree are presented in
the tables of this bulletin.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Proha’s net sales mainly consist of oil and gas sector project
management business. Dovre Consulting and Services Division
accounted for approximately 93% (93%) and Safran Systems Division
7% (7%) of the net sales of the Group continuing operations.
For Dovre Consulting and Services Division both the net sales and
profitability developed positively in 2006 as well as in the
fourth quarter. In 2006 Dovre acquired several new customers of
whom many are oil and gas industry companies investing in new
technology in the field such as, Sea Metric International, Aker
Floating Production, MPF Corp. and Sevan Marine.
For Fabcon the growth has been most significant in Canada and
Russia with the Exxon Sakhalin project there. Through ExxonMobile
agreement Fabcon operated in eight countries in 2006.
In 2006 approximately 90% of the business of the Norwegian
subsidiaries came from oil and gas sector and approximately 10%
from other project management sales. The business of Fabcon
companies acquired in 2006 is fully focused on oil and gas sector.
In 2006 and in the fourth quarter the demand in the oil and gas
sector has continued strong. The level of investments in the oil
and gas industry remains high. The positive mood of the markets is
anticipated to continue.
In developing its business operations Dovre focuses on maintaining
the leading position in the Norwegian markets, improving
profitability, taking advantage of the synergies created by the
Fabcon acquisition and in continuing the growth in the
international markets. Dovre is planning to add personnel to meet
the increasing demand in the oil and gas industry. In the
Norwegian markets in particular the challenge is to recruit
professionals to meet the demand. The purchase of Fabcon’s
business operations increases Dovre’s international presence
considerably. Significant customers of both Dovre and Fabcon have
positively received the acquisition of Fabcon.

quarter of 2006 the development of Safran Portal for Knowledge
Projects was initiated aimed at project management of knowledge
work. In 2006 Proha became Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Proha
products utilize the latest technology available on the markets.
In 2006 also new version of Proha’s previously developed software
solutions Safran Project and Safran for Microsoft Project were
introduced to the markets. The close cooperation with Microsoft is
continuing with the latest version of Safran for Microsoft Project
being introduced to the markets simultaneously with Microsoft
Project 2007 software.
Proha’s mobile solutions were developed further with e.g. new
solution for upgrading alert level for rescue personnel,
Outlook/ExchangeTM integration for communication of meeting
reservations, application for allocation of urgent maintenance
work and polling applications for customer service operations.
Proha’s Datamar released a new version 3.2 of its Rescue Planner
software developed for rescue departments. Rescue Planner is now
used by e.g. Helsinki Rescue Department, Tampere Regional Rescue
Department and Oulu - Koillismaa Regional Rescue Department.

REVIEW ON RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES OF BUSINESS
Proha manages its risks by being aware of the central risk factors
in business and financing as well as of linking risk management as
part of business processes. In risk management the principle of
risk diversification is applied. Proha Board of Directors
supervises the company risk management.
The recognized risks are finance risks, price risks, technology
risks, risks of demand, and dependence on development of customer
business area.
The primary financial risks are currency risk, interest rate risk
and liquidity risk. Proha operates globally. Due to the
diversified currency risk no forward foreign currency contracts or
other corresponding hedging are used. The Group liquidity is
managed through cash and liquidity management. The aim is to
maintain the balance between fixed and flexible rate loans.
Compared to the Group’s business volume the amount of loans with
fixed interest rates is not such that the fair value interest risk
would require hedging. It is the principle of Proha to not
guarantee loans for the subsidiaries.
Typical Proha customers are large and financially solid companies,
which for its part reduces the Group’s credit risk. The Group does
not provide actual customer financing
Rapid changes in generally accepted IT utilities and architectures
might pose a risk to software business. The occurrence of
exceptionally rapid changes is, however, unlikely.
The business of Dovre and Fabcon is based on long term customer
relationships and agreements, and consequently the changes in
demand are reflected with delay in the business. The challenge is
to recruit professionals to meet the demand in the Norwegian
markets. In Proha’s business, no single customer generates over 5%
of the Proha Group’s net sales. The dependence of the Norwegian
business on the oil, gas and off-shore industry is significant,
and therefore substantial and long-term changes in the energy
prices may pose a risk to the Norwegian operations. Because the
customer agreements in Norwegian business are generally long term
and a considerable portion of employment agreements are tied to
customer projects, the risks are rather in the business volume
than in profitability. Proha’s subsidiary Dovre manages the price
risk by making long term frame agreements with the customers.
DECISIONS OF PROHA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

month.
According to the agreement Remium AB will quote bids and offers
for Proha Plc's share so that the spread of the bid and offer

PROSPECTS FOR 2007
In 2006 the group structure of Proha was changed and strategy
renewed. The changes created improved preconditions for business
growth and improved profitability in 2007 and onwards. According
to the new strategy Proha seeks international growth and
profitability by concentrating on project management services and
software and by emphasizing the synergies between the group
businesses.
Though the focus of Proha business will continue to be in
demanding oil and gas industry companies and projects, the company
will also expand its business operations in other industries.
The favorable market outlook seems to continue in 2007. Especially
the developments in the oil and gas market sector impact the
future development. The high energy prices and growing demand will
keep the number of international investments in the field high.
The development of Proha’s present software business is impacted
by the general development of IT markets and, following the new
partnership strategy, by the advancement of Microsoft’s new
products in the markets.
The general outlook is good for business development of Dovre
Consulting and Services division. In northeastern Canada projects
will be completed and that will temporarily cause decline in the
service business in Canada. Initiation of new projects in Alberta
Canada are targeted to replace the completed projects, but the
impact of new projects will not yet be seen in the net sales in
the first half of 2007. In other locations around the world the
consulting and services business is anticipated to develop
favorably.
In 2007 the focus areas of Safran Systems division are software
products development as well as building and strengthening of
international delivery and partnership networks. To strengthen the
network Proha’s Growth Ventures operations aim to make strategic
acquisition at a low risk level that will create basis for rapid
growth in the future around the world.
On an annual level, the net sales of Proha’s continuing operations
are anticipated to increase and the profitability to improve
compared to 2006.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT
The Proha Board of Directors proposes that result for the financial
year be entred in capital and reserves, and no dividend be paid.
PRESS CONFERENCE
Proha Plc will hold a press conference for the media and financial
analysts on February 15, 2007 at 12.00 a.m., in Marskin Sali at
World Trade Center, address Aleksanterinkatu 17, Helsinki.
