* adjusted following an impairment investigation at secunet s.r.o., Prague
In its Interim Management Report for the first quarter of 2010 (published on 16 July 2010), secunet Security Networks AG reported a need for correction in relation to the Annual Financial Statements of its Czech subsidiary secunet s.r.o. in Prague as at 31 December 2009. This need for correction had been determined at the end of April 2010 and also meant that there was a need to recognise an impairment charge on the value of secunet Security Networks AG's receivables with secunet s.r.o.
The background to this adjustment was the discovery that the chairman of secunet s.r.o., who has since been dismissed, had been employing forged documents and records to systematically misrepresent and conceal the true asset and earnings position of secunet s.r.o. over a number of years. secunet Security Networks AG reacted to this discovery immediately and promptly relieved the chairman of secunet s.r.o. of all his duties. In addition, the Management Board commissioned the auditing company KPMG AG to conduct a thorough investigation into the events at secunet s.r.o.
At the same time secunet Security Networks AG revised its 2009 Annual Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements, and the Combined Management Report for the company and the group was updated accordingly in the interests of providing transparent, comprehensive and up-to-date information to all recipients of the Financial Statements.
The errors unearthed by the KPMG special investigation into secunet s.r.o., Prague, were duly corrected in the respective income statement items for the reference year 2009. It is no longer possible to comprehensively determine the corresponding distribution of the 2009 reference figures to the income statement items of the individual quarters. In accordance with IAS 8, Note 50, identified net banking differences have been shown under other operating income and the cost of materials has been purged of fictitious (erroneous) supplier invoices. Corrections for all other erroneous and fictitious events have been booked to other operating expenses.
As a result, the figures listed in the previous year's interim financial statements have been amended and are now included in this half-year financial report (listed as "amended" figures). These figures for the previous year replace those reported in the Half-Year Financial Report 2009.
The secunet group generated revenue of Euro 25.8m in the first half of 2010, an increase of 7% or Euro 1.8m compared with the previous year (Euro 24.1m).
The strong growth evidenced in the first quarter of 2010 (+19%) could not be maintained in the second, which saw a decline in year-on-year group revenue of 2.4% or Euro 0.3m. The decline in revenue in the second quarter and the slower growth relative to the first half of the year is attributable to lower capacity utilisation in the second quarter. These fluctuations in capacity utilisation and hence revenue over the course of a year are in the nature of the project business, which continues to be the main factor determining secunet's results. This applies in particular to the Government and Business Security business units, to whom the decline can be attributed.
The secunet group finished the first half of 2010 with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of Euro 0.1m, compared with Euro 0.5m in the previous year. This is primarily due to the increase in other operating income, but also due to a moderate increase in expense items, which have risen by 7% from Euro 25.4m to Euro 27.1m, which is in line with the increase in revenue.
Other operating income increased year-on-year by 45%, from Euro 0.8m to Euro 1.1m.
The costs of materials and purchased services rose by only 1% in the first half of the year over the previous year, from Euro 9.5m to Euro 9.7m. The significant decline in momentum over the second quarter is a reflection of the fact that there was less need to order hardware or other materials to meet requirements.
Personnel expenses increased by 9% from Euro 10.5m in the first six months of 2009 to Euro 11.4m in the first half of 2010, which correlates directly to the increase in the workforce.
The largest relative increase was in depreciation and amortisation, up by 18%, although this represents an absolute increase of only kEuro 72. This was due to a larger inventory of capital goods and the acquisition of low-value assets that were written off in the same period.
Other operating expenses rose by 13% or kEuro 623, from Euro 5.0m in the first half of 2009 to Euro 5.6m in the first half of 2010. This increase was to a large degree the result of expenses resulting from the auditing and investigation into events at the Czech subsidiary secunet s.r.o.
The financial result for the first half of 2010 was down from kEuro 141 to kEuro 19 compared with the same period of 2009. This reflected both declining interest income and a strong fall in unrealised foreign currency gains.
For this reason, the profit before tax amounted to kEuro -391 in January-June 2009 and over the same period of the current year to kEuro -115. As a consequence of reduced taxation on the foreign subsidiaries, the tax burden fell in the first half of the year from kEuro 105 to kEuro 50. Half-year net income amounted to kEuro -165 this year, compared with kEuro -496 last year, as a result of which, earnings per share rose from Euro -0.08 to Euro -0.03.
secunet in Germany is divided into two business divisions, which focus their activities on specific target groups. The Public Sector division caters for authorities and other public sector consumers as well as international organisations. This division generated 85% of the revenue of the secunet group in the first half of 2010, up slightly on the previous year's contribution (81%).
Of the total group revenue, 15% (previous year: 19%) was generated in the Private Sector division, which addresses the IT security needs of companies in private industry. This division comprises the business units Business Security (13% of group revenue in H1 2010) and Automotive (2% of group revenue), which is reported under "Other segments". The Business Security business unit generated revenue of Euro 3.4m in the first half of 2010, compared with Euro 4.1m in the first six months of 2009. This represents a decline of Euro 0.7m or 18%. The main reason for the decline in revenue is a reduction in some IT budgets as a result of saving measures instituted by companies responding to the financial and economic crisis of the last two years. At the same time secunet is still not sufficiently well known as a supplier of high-quality IT security to the industrial sector, which means that significant marketing efforts will be required to correct this.
The Business Security business unit made a negative contribution to group EBIT: after a figure of kEuro -197 in H1 2009, EBIT in the first half of 2010 amounted to kEuro -569. This change is attributable to the decline in revenue coupled with only a slight drop in overall expenses within the business unit.
The Public Sector division incorporates the Government and High Security business units. Broadly speaking, the Government business unit addresses the IT security issues that arise in all e-government applications. First-half revenue in this business unit fell by 8% from Euro 7.6m in 2009 to Euro 7.0m in 2010. This result continued to be influenced by corrections relating to the consolidated Czech subsidiary secunet s.r.o., whose revenue has largely been attributed to the Government business unit. There was also a slightly lower capacity utilisation in the second quarter, which should, however, be more than compensated for in the second half of the year. After a positive contribution to the group's EBIT in the amount of kEuro 565 in the previous year's H1, in the first half of 2010 the Government business group posted a loss of kEuro -286 to group EBIT. As in the Business Security business unit, the decline in EBIT can be attributed to lower revenue combined with a simultaneous rise in overall expenses.
The High Security business unit supplies authorities, the armed forces and international organisations with the SINA product line. The business unit's contribution to group revenue was 58%. Revenue in the High Security business unit rose by Euro 2.9m to Euro 14.9m, or 24% compared with the previous year. Follow-up orders resulting from major projects as well as a large number of individual procurements continued to have an impact here. The EBIT contribution of this business unit improved from kEuro -69 in H1 2009 to kEuro 976 in the first half of 2010.
"Other segments" made a negative contribution of kEuro 430 to group revenue, with general and administrative expenses having an impact here. This item also reflects the extraordinary expenditure for the work at secunet s.r.o., Prague.
Compared with the situation as at 31 December 2009, the balance sheet of secunet Security Networks showed a decline of around Euro 10.3m.
On the asset side, this change is due mainly to a decline in cash and cash equivalents, which had fallen by Euro 3.4m or 23% as at the reporting date of 30 June 2010 compared with the reporting date of 31 December 2009. At the same time, by the end of a very strong fourth quarter and as a result of invoicing, there was fall of Euro 7.8m in the high level of receivables .
This change is matched on the liabilities side in a decrease in other provisions of Euro 2.2m, mainly as a result of the payment of variable compensation components in the first quarter. At the same time, there was a sharp decline in trade payables (down Euro 6.5m) and other liabilities (down Euro 1.6m).
There were no significant changes in the other balance sheet items of secunet Security Networks.
secunet has not taken out any loans and therefore reports a debt/ equity ratio of 0%.
Cash flow from operating activities was Euro -2.5m in the period from January to June 2010, compared with Euro -7.6m a year earlier. The difference compared with the previous year can be explained by higher earnings (Euro +0.3m) and an increase in current assets (Euro +6.3m). This was offset by an increased utilisation of provisions (Euro -1.8 million).
secunet invests mainly in the purchase and replacement of hardware, software and other business equipment. Around kEuro 818 was spent in the first half of 2010, compared with kEuro 421 in the first half of 2009. This increase is linked to the rise in the number of employees and various projects to improve internal IT equipment.
As at 30 June 2010, the number of secunet Group employees was 288. This represents an increase in headcount of 11 people or 4% compared with the same reporting date in the previous year. The positions filled were mainly in the advisory, development and sales areas.
No significant change has occurred to the opportunities and risks described in the corrected and updated 2009 Annual Report since the end of the 2009 financial year.
As at 30 June 2010, secunet Security Networks' order book stood at Euro 22.5m. The volume of orders was down 20% compared with the same reporting date in the previous year (Euro 28.1m). Once again, this is due to the large projects currently in progress.
The business performance of secunet Security Networks is in line with developments in the IT security market. Over the long term, growth is anticipated for this market. The key driver for secunet's Business Security business unit in 2010 is once again the willingness of companies to invest in IT security consulting and technologies, while the investment behaviour of public sector customers is the crucial factor for the Government and High Security business units. Whereas SINA procurement in the High Security business unit is oriented more towards the long term, demand for IT security in the Government business unit is shaped both by the current debate surrounding savings and budget consolidation (which are detrimental to demand) and by major infrastructure projects (which stimulate demand). secunet Security Networks' short-term performance is also strongly influenced by the fact that its business is heavily project-based. Taking these aspects into account, the Management Board is maintaining its forecast for the current year: it expects ongoing stable revenue and no change in earnings before interest and tax compared with the previous year.
This half-year report contains statements regarding the future performance of secunet Security Networks and economic and political developments. These statements are opinions that we have formed based on the information currently available to us. If the underlying assumptions are not met or other risks arise, actual results may differ from our expectations. We cannot therefore offer any guarantee as to the accuracy of these statements.

The half-year financial report of secunet Security Networks dated 30 June 2010 was compiled in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Report".
The consolidation principles and currency translation method for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2010 were in accordance with those in the company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2009 financial year. The accounting and valuation methods were retained. The Consolidated Financial Statements of secunet Security Networks AG as at 31 December 2009 were produced on the basis of Sections 315 and 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as they are to be applied in the European Union.
The figures shown in the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity correspond to the normal course of business at secunet and do not (with the exception of the events described in connection with the impairment made at secunet s.r.o) include any extraordinary items.
A tax rate of 31.4% applies to the calculation of income taxes for national companies. Calculation of tax payable on income for foreign companies is based on the relevant rates of tax for those countries.
The preparation of the half-year financial report requires a series of assumptions and estimates on the part of the management. As a result, it may be that the figures reported in the interim report will deviate from the actual figures.
secunet Security Networks discovered the need for adjustments to the 2009 quarterly financial statements of its Czech subsidiary secunet s.r.o., Prague.
The error corrections identified during the special investigation carried out by auditing company KPMG AG into secunet s.r.o., Prague have been fully allocated to the relevant income statement items for the comparable 2009 financial year. The corresponding allocation to the relevant income statement items in the individual quarters can no longer be fully determined for the comparative 2009 figures. In accordance with IAS 8, Note 50, identified net banking differences have been shown under other operating income and the cost of materials has been purged of fictitious (erroneous) supplier invoices. Corrections for all other erroneous and fictitious events have been booked to other operating expenses.

As a result, the figures listed in the previous year's interim reports have been amended and are now included in this half-year financial report (listed as "amended" figures). These figures for the previous year replace those reported in the Half-Year Financial Report 2009.
In addition to secunet Security Networks AG, all subsidiaries over which secunet has the power to govern the financial and operating policies are included in the consolidated financial statements. In the reporting period and in the 2009 financial year, there were no minority interests in equity or in the profit or loss for the respective period.
Compared with 31 December 2009, the consolidated group was unchanged as at 30 June 2010.
As at 30 June 2010, the company held 30,498 treasury shares, the same figure as at 31 December 2009; this equates to 0.5 per cent of its share capital.
The secunet group is divided into the Public Sector division, made up of the High Security and Government business units, and the Private Sector division, made up of the Business Security and Automotive Security business units. The High Security, Government and Business Security business units are shown separately for the purposes of segment reporting, as they meet at least one of the quantitative thresholds defined in IFRS 8.13. The Automotive Security business unit does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds laid down in IFRS 8.13 and is therefore reported together with general and administrative areas under "Other segments". The segments were identified on the basis of the internal reporting structure of the company as set out by the management within the meaning of IFRS 8.5.
The High Security business unit addresses the highly complex security requirements of authorities, the armed forces and international organisations. At the core of its offering is the Secure Inter-Network Architecture, SINA, developed in conjunction with the Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI).
The Government business unit supports authorities in Germany and abroad in all areas relating to e-government and IT security. These include biometric solutions and electronic ID (eID) documents, health services (eHealth), security validation and secure web solutions. This business unit operates a BSI-certified evaluation laboratory for IT conformity.
The staff of the Business Security business unit focus on security issues affecting industrial companies. Its product line includes security analyses and information security management, electronic signature and B2B integration, single sign-on and network security. In all areas, analyses, consulting and complete solutions are tailored to each customer's specific requirements.
The Automotive Security business unit deals with the IT security issues facing automotive manufacturers. With more and more vehicle functions now being computerised, it is becoming increasingly important for both automotive manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that built-in hardware and software components are protected against unauthorised changes.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated group interim report, comprising the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of recognised income and expenses, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement and selected explanatory notes, together with the interim group management report of secunet Security Networks AG, Essen, for the period from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2010, which are the components of the half-year financial report pursuant to Section 37w of the German Securities Trading Act. The company's legal representatives are responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS standards for interim reporting as applicable in the EU, and of the interim management report for the group in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements in Germany promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). These standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance, through critical evaluation, that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as they apply in the EU and that the interim group management report has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures and thus provides less assurance than an audit. Since, in accordance with the terms of our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot express an audit opinion.
On the basis of our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as they apply in the EU nor that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.
