Dr. Rainer Baumgart

Dear shareholders, customers, employees and friends of secunet,

The results of the year 2008 show a continued success for secunet: we have increased our sales in the first half of the year by 30% to over 22 million Euros. With this we have provided a good basis for the business year 2008, which meets our and your growth expectations. The growth in sales was particularly fuelled by our business area High Security, which is meanwhile achieving 50% of the sales revenues in secunet.

However, the result before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the first half of 2008 fell short of the existing expectations of the capital market. Extra burdens were imposed due to the preparation expenses in the sales area for large projects in the first half.

secunet products and services are in great demand. This is reflected by the high volume of orders. There has been increasing demand for our SINA products; among others, we announced a large order by the German Federal Armed Forces for the deployment-oriented SINA equipment (ESA). Likewise, secunet is supplying solutions for high security needs in other large infrastructure projects. We are able to satisfy the special requirements of our customers by expanding the SINA product palette: for instance by the SINA Mobile Disk and SINA L2. New orders for consulting in the business unit Government are generated regularly from the outline agreement for advisory services in the area of IT security with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Sales volume of the business area Business Security is growing with customers from the private economy, driven by marketing efforts in this area. International business is growing: we are presenting ourselves at trade fairs in Europe and USA; we have expanded our International Sales team. Accordingly the percentage of overseas sales earnings continues to be high, with an upward trend.

The positive sales situation and the wide-ranging marketing activities cater to high capacity utilisation at secunet. At the same time the order books remain full. Hence we retain our clearly positive assessment of the current business year at the close of the first half of 2008 and reaffirm our prognosis for double-digit growth in sales and earnings.

Dr. Rainer Baumgart Chairman of the Executive Board

Interim management report for the first half year 2008

Sales

In the first half of the business year 2008 the secunet group achieved sales of Euro 22.1m. In comparison with the previous year, in which sales of Euro 17.0m were achieved, sales increased by Euro 5.1m or 30 percent.

This increase in sales is due to the successful extension of marketing activities at home and abroad as well as increasing demand for secunet products and services. By expanding personnel capacities in the marketing of the business units Business Security and High Security, the systematic acquisition of new customers could be increased in these areas. At the same time the customers of secunet were mostly willing to recommend us: this is very helpful in a market, which is characterised by trust as in IT security. Also, recurrent sales, for instance through support contracts, form an increasing portion of the sales revenues.

The sales revenues of the secunet group in Q2-2008 amounted to Euro 11.7m, an increase of 32% over the last year's quarter (Euro 8.9m).

Earnings

The main cost items have changed to varying degrees in comparison with the previous year. Depreciation has gone down by 2%, which reflects a decline in business and work place equipment expenses. Disproportionate to sales, staff costs have risen by 10% from Euro 8.4m in the first half of 2007 to Euro 9.3m in the current halfyear. At the same time the staff numbers have increased by 13%. Other operating costs increased by 23% from Euro 3.8m to Euro 4.7m. The increase is due to higher travel expenses resulting from intensive sales efforts, increased marketing costs and a higher level of expenses for the maintenance of the business infrastructure.

Materials costs show the highest increase of 79% from Euro 4.4m in the first half of 2007 to Euro 8.0m. The main factor in this regard is the disproportional growth in the supply of hardware in conjunction with SINA projects (in the business unit High Security).

This is also the reason for the increase in EBIT, disproportionate to sales, in the first half-year by +5%, (Previous year Euro 0.37m, current year Euro 0.39m). Compared with the second quarter 2008, the EBIT figure has actually reduced at the quarterly level from Euro 0.3m in the last year to Euro 0.02m in Q2-2008.

High (unrealised) currency gains in the first half of 2008 led to an increase of 81% over the last year in earnings before tax, in Q2-2008 from Euro 0.5m to Euro 0.9m. The profit after tax for the first half of 2008 came to Euro 0.6m over Euro 0.3m in the previous year. Earnings per share have thus doubled from Euro 0.05 to Euro 0.10.

Segment reporting

Secunet is divided into two company divisions to address customers' needs in a focussed and need-based manner: The Private Sector division addresses the needs of customers in the private business sector and the activities of the Public Sector division are directed towards public authorities and other state organisations. Each of the company divisions comprises two business units; in the Public Sector division these are the High Security and Government Business units and in the Private Sector the Business Security and Automotive units. The business units of High Security, Government and Business Security are identified as separate sectors in the segment reporting, whereas the Automotive unit is shown together with the unit Overhead as "Other segments".

All segments of the company achieved increases in sales in the first half of 2008 as compared to the previous year. Only the Automotive unit noted a decrease in sales by 45% from Euro 1.2m to Euro 0.7m. The business unit of High Security, which produces the SINA product range represents the greatest proportion of sales in secunet with a share of over 50 percent: A growth of 68% in sales could be achieved over the previous year through these products and services. The business unit Government was able to increase the sales by 3% from Euro 5.5m in the first half of 2007 to Euro 5.6m in the current year. In the segment Business Security sales increased by 23% from Euro 4.0m in the previous year to Euro 4.9m in 2008.

There is a significant difference between what the sectors contribute to earnings before interest and tax and their respective proportion of sales. This concerns especially the business domain High-security, whose EBIT is heavily burdened with comparatively high material expenses.The EBIT figure rose ten-fold here from Euro 0.06m in 2007 to Euro 0.6 m between January and June 2008. The unit "Other segments" is the most affected by costs, which include overhead expenses. The EBIT figure here was Euro - 0.8m for the first half of 2007; the deficit rose to Euro -1.4m in the current year.

Assets and financial situation

The balance sheet as at 30 June 2008 shows a decline in the level of liquid assets in comparison with the end of 2007: from Euro 10.9m for 31 December 2007 to Euro 7.3m. The reason for this is the payment of the variable components of salaries in the first quarter. The level of accrued liabilities has also declined correspondingly. The decline in supplier liabilities from Euro 4.9m on 31 December 2007 to Euro 3.8m at the end of the first half of 2008 also has an effect on the level of cash and cash equivalents.

The improved earnings situation is indeed reflected in the cash flow from the operational activities; however, these postive results are more than compensated for by the reduction in the reserves and liabilities as well as by creation of receivables, so that the cash flow from operational activities was a little less than that of the previous year. On the other hand changes in the cash flows from investment activities and financing activities have a comparatively lower effect. Overall, the stock of instruments of payment in the secunet group reduced by Euro 3.6m in the first half of 2008, as against a reduction of Euro 3.8m in the previous year.

Investments

In the first half of 2008, a sum of approximately Euro 0.4m has been invested in the purchase and replacement of hardware, software licences and other business equipment. In comparison with the previous year's investment of Euro 0.5m the level of investment declined by around 19 percent.

Employees

As at 30 June 2008 the secunet group employed 261 employees. This is 31 employees or 13% more than that at the end of the first half in the previous year. New employees were appointed mainly in the productive business areas of development and consultancy and sales.

Opportunities and risks

There was no change in the major opportunities and risks since the end of the business year 2007 as described in the business report of 2007.

Outlook

The demand for IT security and high security from public authorities, international organisations and companies remains at a high level. Threats against IT are also growing constantly. The growing awareness of the damaging effects of inadequate IT security is being reinforced by legal regulations, which call for security mechanisms. The market for high quality IT security continues to remain a growth market in which secunet is positioned well. This is also backed by customer surveys, which attribute competence, reliability and trust to the company and its employees. secunet has earned this positive rating through its long-term experience in a number of successfully implemented projects.

The huge demand for products and services is reflected in secunet's high order balance. Despite the high utilisation of capacity and speedy order processing – which is reflected in the growth of sales – the orders on hand remain at a high level at Euro 18.9m. A fall has been recorded in comparison with the volume of orders on 30 June 2007 (Euro 22.3m). However, if the increase in sales by Euro 5,1m, which corresponds to increased order processing, is considered, the order book has actually increased over the previous year's value.

Overall, the general conditions give cause for the Executive Board of secunet Security Networks AG to be confident that the prognosis for a double-digit growth in sales and earnings for the year of 2008 will be achieved.

Future-related statements

These statements are estimates and assessments, which we have made on the basis of the information available to us at this moment in time.

Review Report

To secunet Security Networks Aktiengesellschaft

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the secunet Security Networks Aktiengesellschaft, Essen - comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes - together with the interim Group management report of the secunet Security Networks Aktiengesellschaft, Essen, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2008 that are part of the Half-Year Financial Report according to § 37w WpHG (German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and of the interim Group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports, is the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim Group management report based on our review.

We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim Group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports.
