CEO Thomas Bill comments: Both Orc and CameronTec reported strong sales in all regions during the quarter and several important contracts were signed. The largest deal of the quarter was with a Nordic customer where a combination of Orc and Neonet technology was delivered. Other key contracts were signed with Orc's first market making customer in France, with a brokerage firm in Asia for continued expansion of DMA solutions and additional contracts with local Japanese customers. Latin America is expected to become an increasingly important market for Orc and significant deals were closed with customers in both Brazil and Mexico during the quarter. Furthermore, several of the largest contracts were managed services solutions. CameronTec was particularly successful in the APAC region during the quarter, and for example signed a major contract with a global bank in Australia. It is also positive that the churn decreased compared to the previous quarter.

The brokerage industry is struggling at the moment, which is illustrated not least by the major changes that have taken place among Nordic brokerage firms in recent months. Neonet has also been negatively affected by declining volumes and more aggressive competition. Although we have succeeded in winning new customers, sales have continued to fall and led to an increased loss for the period. We are taking this situation very seriously and the management is working with several different activities to address these problems.

The key factors for the second half of 2011 are the level of churn for Orc and development of the trading volume for Neonet. Both of these factors are highly dependent on whether uncertainty continues in the global financial markets and how profitability develops among the customers.

All units in Orc Group are continuing to work on development of new solutions, expansion into both new segments and new geographical markets, frequent and constructive contacts with new and existing customers and careful control of costs.

Given the current exchange rates and low transaction volumes in Neonet, it remains uncertain whether the target of a minimum operating margin of 20% in a weak market can be reached already in 2012.
