secunet Security Networks AG is one of the leading IT security specialists in Germany and Europe. We provide companies, public authorities and international organizations with solutions for IT security questions. This means our customers can use the full potential of their IT infrastructure in ways that are secure and reliable.
We do not see IT security as being an isolated system, but consider our work to be an integrated part within an overall process. In other words we look beyond the limits of the question actually asked and also concern ourselves with topics such as work flow, economic efficiency and process optimization. Our work is characterized by pragmatic approaches to finding solutions – as individual as necessary and using so much standard technology as possible.
Our particular strength lies in the area of high security. This is why public-sector institutions in Germany number among the most important customers of secunet. We keep IP communication within and between public authorities secure at the very highest level. We also draw on this extensive experience in the services we provide other large organizations in Germany and abroad.
We use our strong competitive position to achieve further growth – both by increasing our share of the German core market and increasing our share of international markets.
We are more than just security.
The sensitive data of citizens in Germany requires trustworthy communication structures. E-Government offers immense efficiency potential. The secure handling of sensitive data is our challenge.
One success from the business unit Government in the first half year 2007: Electronic health card: Siemens deploys secunet network connector
[Essen, 17 April 2007] secunet Security Networks AG, leading provider of complex IT security and high security, is to supply the network connector for the CardOS HealthCare Connector from Siemens. secunet has concluded a corresponding license agreement with Siemens Medical Solutions (Med). The network connector is derived from the proven security technology SINA which secunet offers for the high security requirements of government bodies, both nationally and internationally.

In the next quarter, you can read here a presentation from the business unit Business Security.
secunet Security Networks AG generated a sound result in the first half year 2007. We were able to increase the group sales by 12% from 1 15.2 million in the previous year to 1 17.0 million in the current year. Also in the second quarter 2007, the growth trend in sales continues. The increase is all the more pleasing since we were also able to achieve modest increases in comparison with the record year 2005.
secunet remains profitable: In the first six months 2007, we achieved a result before interest and taxes (EBIT) in an amount of approx. 1 0.4 million; that is to say, 24% more than in the same period in the previous year. In the second quarter 2007, we optimized operative processes and our business infrastructure with regard to our new business organization, and also further extended our marketing activities. The increased costs thereby incurred reduced the result at a quarterly level; compared with Q2-2006, the EBIT fell by 29%.
It is precisely because we invest in the future of our business and have implemented the correct strategic measures to pave the way ahead that we continue to look optimistically into the future:
Our long-term strategy of responding in increasing measure to the special needs of the different target groups is bearing fruit.
Accordingly, the focused expansion in marketing activities abroad is already now leading to a high increase in our foreign business. Already in the first half of the business year 2007, we achieved the same volume of sales with projects and product deliveries to customers abroad as was achieved in the entire year 2006. The prospects for the second half year 2007 are also promising.
For customers from the private economy, the secunet offer is becoming more attractive. The creation of a dedicated company division which very clearly focuses on the needs of this target group has made a significant contribution in this respect. The interest of the private economy in our high security solution SINA is also increasing.
In the wake of our new business organization introduced since 1 January 2007, we are also expanding our finance reporting. With this 6-Month-Report, we begin with segment reporting. In this connection we illuminate the development in the company divisions Private and Public Sector, which, with their respective offers, address customers from the private economy and the public sector respectively. With this step, the intention is to improve the information provided to our shareholders in the sense of far-reaching transparency.
Our order books are full. The orders on hand as at 30 June 2007 amounted to over 1 22 million, that is 46% more than in the previous year. Concerning the sales trend for the entire year, we are confident of achieving the results we planned. It will depend on the sales mix in the second half year, here in particular the scope of product and software orders, as to what extent we approach our EBIT target.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rainer Baumgart CEO

The secunet group generated sales of approx. 1 17.0 million in the first half year of the business year 2007. Compared with the first half year of the previous year, in which sales were achieved of approx. 1 15.2 million, sales rose by 1 1.8 million or 12%.
On the one hand, this positive development is to be attributed to a basic effect resulting from the fact that in the previous year, due to the lack of governmental demand, a comparatively weak first half year was realized. At the same time, however, an increase in sales of 4% could also be achieved compared with first half year 2005, when these special effects were not present. In this respect, further organic growth can be recorded. EB T n M o Euro Auftragse ngang n M o Euro
In the Q2-2007, sales of the secunet group amounted to approx. 1 8.9 million. Compared with the previous year period, sales thus increased by 5% (1 8.5 million), and compared with the stronger year 2005 by 1% (1 8.8 million in Q2-2005).
The change in the main cost items compared with the previous year is inconsistent: Whilst the personnel costs rose only slightly by 1.5% and amortization and depreciation even fell by 1%, the cost of materials, occasioned through the demand for SINA components, increased by nearly 13%. There was a particularly sharp rise in other operating expenses: +19% or, in absolute terms, approx. 1 0.6 million. The following effects have precipitated this increase: the higher costs of personnel procurement, increased rents (the premises of secunet Network Security AG were adjusted to take account of the increased number of employees) as well as costs for process adaptation and optimization as a consequence of the new organizational structure in the company. In total, the costs in the secunet group rose by 1 1.2 million or 8% compared with the previous year. 30 6 2006 30 6 2007 H 2006 H 2007
Due to the increased costs and lower other operating income, the increase in sales could not be reflected in a corresponding increase in profit. The EBIT amounts to approx. 1 0.4 million for the first half year after 1 0.3 million in the previous year. A positive financial result leads to a result before taxes of approx. 1 0.5 million. After deduction of the tax burden, a surplus results of 1 0.3 million in comparison to 1 0.2 million in the first six months of the previous year. The result per share thus amounts to 1 0.05 in comparison to 1 0.03 in the first half year 2006.
The higher other operating expenses basically arose in the second quarter. Accordingly, on a quarterly basis, the result before interest and taxes is also lower than in the previous year: The EBIT sank from Q2-2006 (1 0.4 million) by 29% to 1 0.3 million.
For optimized contact to the customers, tailored to their requirements, secunet is organized into two company divisions: The Private Sector addresses the needs of customers in the private economy, the Public Sector addresses, with its activities, authorities and other government organizations. Each of the company divisions are divided into two business divisions: in the Public Sector these are the business divisions High Security and Government, and in the Private Sector Business Security and Automotive.
In the first half year 2007, the company division Private Sector contributed, with 1 4.7 million, approx. 28% to the group sales. After deduction of the costs of materials and operational costs, the Private Sector generated a result before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 1 0.1 million.
The sales of the company division Public Sector amounted in the first half year 2007 to 1 12.3 million, which represents 72% of the group sales. In the same period, the Public Sector achieved an EBIT of 1 0.3 of million.

The balance sheet of the secunet group as at 30 June 2007 shows a clear drop in the level of cash and cash equivalents compared with situation at the end of the year 2006: from 1 8.4 million as at 31 December 2006 to 1 4.7 million. At the same time the other provisions fell from 1 2.7 million to 1 1.8 million. This change is basically explained through the payment of the variable salary components for the business year 2006, which took place in the first quarter 2007. The level of cash and cash equivalents was also affected by changes in the short term current assets. The level of trade payables as well as of other liabilities sank in figure by 1 3.0 million. The level of trade receivables increased from 1 11.1 million as at 31 December 2006 to 1 11.3 million as at 30 June 2007.
The improved result situation is also reflected in the cash flow. Notwithstanding the outgoings in liquid funds through the payment of bonuses and the change in the short-term current assets, the cash flow from operating activities improved from 1 -8.3 million in the previous year to 1 -3.2 million in the first half year 2007.
In the first half year 2007, approximately 1 0.5 million was invested in new purchases and the replacement of hardware, software licenses and other tools and equipment. Compared with the previous year figure, the investment expenditure sank marginally.
As at 30 June 2007, the secunet group had 230 employees, that means ten employees or 5% more than at the end of the first six months of the previous year. Compared with the situation as at 31 December 2006, the number of employees rose by 2. The main increase in personnel took place in the business year 2006, and concentrated on the productive fields Product Management, Sales and Consultation and Development.
The market for IT security is an attractive growth market. Authorities, international organizations and businesses still continue to have a considerable demand for IT security and high security. Increasing investments in these fields benefit from the current positive overall economic environment. secunet is excellently positioned in this growth market.
The favorable demand situation is demonstrated by the level of orders placed with secunet. As at 30 June 2007, this amounted to approx. 1 22.3 million. That represents an increase of 46% compared with the level as at the end of the first half year 2006, and of 54% compared with the level as at 31 December 2006.
The market and order situation provide the board of management of secunet Security Networks AG with confidence that the growth expectations for the business year 2007 will be fulfilled.
In the first half year 2007, no performances or payments were promised to members of the board of management by a third party with regard to their activities as members of the board of management, nor were any such performances or payments made during this period. In the first half year 2007, the supervisory board members received no remuneration or advantages for performances personally provided, in particular consultation and procurement performances, above and beyond the remuneration laid down for the supervisory board members in the statutes of secunet Security Networks AG. Neither the members of the board of management nor the members of the supervisory board receive any loans from the company.
This 6-Month-Report contains statements forecasting the future development of secunet Security Networks AG as well as economic and political developments. These statements are to be understood as estimations that we have made in the basis of the information available to us at present. Should the underlying assumptions not occur or further risks arise, the actual results can deviate from those expected at present. Hence no guarantee can be given for this information.

To secunet Security Networks Aktiengesellschaft
We subjected the abridged consolidated interim financial statements - consisting of balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in shareholders' equity as well as selected explanatory details in the notes - and also the consolidated interim management report of secunet Security Networks Aktiengesellschaft, Essen, for the period from 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007, which are component parts of the half year financial report under § 37 w WpHG [Wertpapierhandelsgesetz - Act concerning Trade in Securities], to an audit study. The preparation of the abridged consolidated interim financial statements according to IFRS for interim reporting, as they are to be applied in the EU, and of the consolidated interim management report in accordance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable for consolidated interim management reports, lies within the sphere of responsibility of the legal representatives of the company. It is our task to issue a certificate in relation to the abridged consolidated interim financial statements and the consolidated interim management report on the basis of our audit study.
We carried out the audit study of the abridged consolidated interim financial statements and the consolidated interim management report in compliance with the German principles laid down by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) [Institute of Certified Public Accountants] for audit studies of financial statements. According to these principles, the audit study is to be planned and carried out in such a manner that, under critical assessment, we can, with a certain security, rule out the possibility that the abridged consolidated interim financial statements, in important aspects, have not been prepared in compliance with the IFRS for interim reporting, as they are to be applied in the EU, and that the consolidated interim management report, in important aspects, has not been prepared in compliance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable for consolidated interim management reports. An audit study is primarily restricted to questioning employees of the company and to analytical assessments, and therefore does not offer the security attainable through a final audit. Since, in accordance with our instructions, we did not carry out a final audit, we are unable to issue an audit opinion.
On the basis of our audit study, no circumstances came to our knowledge which lead us to assume that the abridged consolidated interim financial statements, in important aspects, have not been prepared in compliance with the IFRS for interim reporting, as they are to be applied in the EU, or that the consolidated interim management report has not, in important aspects, been prepared in compliance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable for consolidated interim management reports.
