COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

After a quiet first quarter, the transaction volume has once again started to pick up speed and in the second quarter reached a level that is second only to the same quarter of 2010. The fact that revenues and volumes as a whole were weaker in the first half of 2011 than for the corresponding period of 2010 is explained by a few combined factors. First of all, the Icelandic ash cloud in April 2010 dramatically affected SJ's transaction volumes, and secondly, Paynova had temporary high revenues in the wallet fees that were charged when we began to wind up the Paynova e-wallet, while the current revenues include no such extraordinary items. Finally, in the first half of 2010 Paynova had not yet phased out all of the small customer contracts that were terminated, which created volumes but had no positive impact on profit. In view of this, the "normal" revenue from our business and customers in 2011 is more encouraging. In the second half of the year I expect the momentum we have now achieved in the offer book and new contracts to give us total full-year earnings that are better than 2010, excluding last year's VAT effect.

Revenue is rising, cash flow is positive and we saw an upward trend towards the end of the second quarter. The offer book is continuing to grow and in the second quarter Paynova deployed more new customers than in any earlier quarter under the new business model – almost twice as many as in the first quarter. In term of profit we have fallen short of our target, mainly because the deployment of several major contracts has been postponed until the autumn.

Costs have been maintained at a low and stable level. In addition, thanks to renegotiation of supplier contracts, the total cost level will decrease somewhat during the autumn despite hiring of new staff and increased investments in the service organization.

Paynova is now gearing up for the autumn with an even stronger service package – we are more clearly defining the range of services for major merchants and integrating the necessary breadth, where Payzone's payment services for physical stores are an increasingly central component. Paynova

and Payzone sell jointly in a number of projects, of which several are large and have long sales cycles. The collaboration with Payzone is an important strategic step in a market where merchants are continuously demanding greater breadth and expertise. This is also confirmed by the response at virtually every one of our sales meetings. Furthermore, our new collaboration with Retain 24, a supplier of total solutions for gift card processing, is also in line with this; most major merchants and chains have a need for effective and integrated gift card solutions. Retain 24 simplifies the entire flow and integrates gift card handling in physical stores with online retail. The services are being built into Paynova's platform during the autumn. In June Paynova also launched a service for so-called MOTO payments, where merchants can now receive payments over the telephone in a PCI-secure manner. This will expand the areas of use and revenue potential for Paynova's fraud prevention services.

In response to higher demand for more intelligent checkout solutions, we are launching a whole new version of Paynova's checkout pages to simplify the final steps in the online purchasing process. To satisfy accelerating demand in the Finnish market, we are adding several Finnish payment methods. Mo bile payments are expected to account for a signi ficant share of future payments and offer Payno va a new opportunity to increase transaction reve nue as we integrate the various mobile solutions into Paynova's payment platform.

Paynova continuously measures customer satisfac tion and has seen an increase during the year. Emerchants gave Paynova an average rating of 4.25 (of a maximum of 5) in the latest survey. My assess ment is that it is Paynova's service concept that is earning high and rising ratings from the customers.

Chinova's operations in China have started to show measurable transaction volumes. In April we saw the first Chinese transaction volumes on China Uni onPay eMall and they have since then grown dra matically. Cross-border volumes, where Payno va has a larger direct return, have been delayed but should arrive in the late autumn of 2011. One posi tive effect is that the marketing collaboration with Chinova has resulted in new non-Nordic direct customers for Paynova, among other things in Italy.

In our last quarterly report I mentioned the new Payment Services Act and am now pleased to an nounce that Paynova has received permission from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to pro vide payment services. The permit is precisely what Paynova needs to further develop its business and at the same time provides certain competitive advan tages, since only a few of our competitors have such authorization.

With recharged batteries after the summer, a stronger package and a stable cash flow, I look for ward to an exciting autumn in 2011.

Simon Thaning Stockholm, 23 august 2011

BACKGROUND

Paynova and the Chinese technology and e-commerce company LeiXun started Chinova in the autumn of 2009. In 2011 the shareholder base was expanded and Chinova is now owned by LeiXun (48.5 per cent), Paynova (46.5 per cent) and Juno Capital (5.0 per cent). Chinova was given responsibility for developing and operating a Chinese e-commerce portal on behalf of China UnionPay (CUP). CUP, which together with the Chinese banks has issued around 2.3 billion bank cards to 700 million Chinese and processes transactions with 2.1 million companies, now also intends to exploit its market position for e-commerce. The goal is for CUP eMall to be the leading business-to-consumer portal for both domestic and cross-border e-commerce for Chinese consumers and online retailers.

The eMall (www.emall.chinapay.com ), which is part of a larger Internet venture by CUP, was officially launched in limited form in late March/early April 2011 and is intended to be launched more aggressively during the autumn. The portal is focused on commerce between businesses and consumers (B2C) with products and services where both business and consumers place higher demands on quality. In spite of the modest initial marketing activities, the market's response has been unanimously positive and the level of attention high – the timing of the portal is right.

INTERNAL TARGETS EXCEEDED

The eMall has had a promising start-up phase in terms of transaction volumes and has significantly exceeded the internal targets. The monthly transaction volume is expected to pass RMB 100 billion around year-end 2011, with a strong growth rate per month.

EMALL CORRECTLY POSITIONED IN THE MARKET

With a clear B2C profile and many well known premium brands such as Lenovo, Dell, Garmin and Apple and automobile vendors like Volkswagen, Honda, Peugeot and Buick, the portal has already attracted major attention despite relatively limited marketing. More well known brands are continuously joining the portal.

LAUNCH OF EMALL WELL TIMED

Consumers are now ready for other than C2C commerce and CUP's strong brand with over 90 per cent brand recognition throughout China gives then greater incentive to buy. Consumers are also given the assurance of purchasing directly from companies and not via intermediaries such as Taobao (China's counterpart to eBay) where the identity of the seller is not known in all transactions.

AN INFLOW OF USERS

The number of registered users is growing rapidly at the same time that transaction volumes in the eMall are multiplying at an even fast rate.

Number of registered users

China UnionPay is satisfied to note that the number of registered users is increasing and these are also making more frequent purchases and for larger amounts. Intensified marketing activities have now been started in which the registered users are sent a weekly newsletter and special offers via e-mail.

NEW PAYMENT SERVICES

CUP has new payment services for transactions in higher amounts that create scope for new e-commerce products in China. Cars, boats, homes and other expensive products are now sold with CUP's new and more secure payment services both offline and online by raising the permitted transaction limit for selected merchants. CUP uses the eMall in its marketing of these services in order to clearly demonstrate this, which has attracted considerable attention on several occasions in nationwide TV and other media.

CROSS-BORDER E-COMMERCE

The European market is showing a powerful interest in Chinese e-commerce. In May seminars were hosted in Paris and Milan, where Chinova and its partner Intertek presented the opportunities in China for well known brands with strong demand among Chinese online consumers. A number of merchant projects were started as a result of this and are being prepared for launch this autumn. Several activities are planned in London, Frankfurt, Paris and Milan in September and October this year.

MARKETING

Together, CUP and Chinova are preparing several new ways to market the portal. Pilot tests are underway for new ways to reach consumers in China, where CUP's very solid market position is being utilized. This is taking place party as a step in CUP's marketing of its new payment services and party as direct promotion of the eMall in new media. This means attractive new offers to e-merchants as the international window to well known brands.

CUP AND CHINOVA CREATING VALUE FOR PAYNOVA

The start of the growth phase and the four established cornerstones listed below strengthen the assessment that Chinova and Cup eMall will generate substantial values for Paynova in the years ahead:

  • China is currently the world's fastest-growing market for e-commerce
  • CUP has one of China's strongest brands and market positions
  • The goal for the CUP eMall that is being developed and operated by Chinova is to be one of China's leading domestic and cross-border ecommerce portals
  • This combination of conditions offers significant opportunities for growth and value creation

These conditions and opportunities are also creating a strong platform for Paynova in the form of revenues, cash flows and other values consisting of:

  • License revenue from domestic Chinese e-commerce
  • Direct transaction revenue from cross-border ecommerce to and from China
  • The value of Paynova's holding in Chinova

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Compared to the same period of 2010, profit after tax for the first half of the year fell by SEK 221 thousand.

TRANSACTION VOLUME AND REVENUE

The transaction volume was Sek 2,034,861 thousand (2,057,671) for the first half of the year and Sek 1,079,154 thousand (1,096,742) for the second quarter. Transaction-based revenue fell by Sek 271 thousand and amounted to Sek 14,997 thousand (15,268) for the first half of the year and Sek 7,713 thousand (8,086) for the second quarter.

Other revenue included Sek 409 thousand (2,939) in account maintenance fees for the first half of the year and Sek 204 thousand (1,462) for the second quarter. Most of the revenue from the phase-out was recognized in 2010.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND NET FINANCIAL ITEMS

Operating expenses excluding direct transaction costs and amortization/depreciation fell by Sek 2,523 thousand compared to the first half of last year, and amounted to Sek 10,906 thousand (13,429) for the first six months and Sek 5,916 thousand (6,145) for the second quarter. Amortization/ depreciation totalled Sek 3,408 thousand (3,306) for the first half of the year and Sek 1,678 thousand (1,653) for the second quarter. Profit/loss from financial investments was Sek -249 thousand (96) for the first half of the year and Sek -116 thousand (-174) for the second quarter. The change for the first quarter is explained by the company's reversal of a cost provision in an amount of Sek 455 thousand during the first quarter of last year.

Profit/loss after tax declined by Sek 221 thousand for the first half of the year compared to the same period of last year and amounted to Sek -2,704 thousand (-2,483) for the first six months and Sek -1,455 thousand (-563) for the second quarter.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The self-produced production system is reported as an intangible asset with a value of Sek 14,141 thousand (19,003). Costs for development projects were capitalized in an amount of Sek 659 thousand (480) during the interim period and the corresponding amount for the second quarter was Sek 359 thousand (295). Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.

In March 2011 Paynova carried out a directed share issue of Sek 10 million in accordance with an authorization granted by the 2010 AGM. Together with external borrowings of Sek 4.3 million, the now completed issue was part of a financing plan that was aimed primarily at redeeming the loan from Centum Select Fund Ltd and paying the finally established VAT liability. The remainder of the loan from Centum, Sek 5,500 thousand, was redeemed through the lender's subscription for shares in an amount equal to Sek 5,500 thousand in the directed share issue.

In the first quarter Paynova paid the VAT liability finally approved by the Swedish Tax Agency for the period 2006 – September 2010. In connection with review and correction of the income tax returns, the company changed its allocation key for deductible and non-deductible VAT. The company and the Swedish Tax Agency no longer have different views on deduction rights.

Paynova has settled the agreement signed with one of the company's financial advisers that included conditions for compensation related to the closing

price of the Paynova share on the settlement date. For reasons of caution, Paynova made provisions in the latest annual accounts, of which Sek 744 thousand was reversed in the income statement during the first quarter. The change in other external expenses compared to the same period of last year is explained by the fact that the first quarter of 2010 was charged with substantial costs arising as a result of this agreement and that the reversal of reserves in connection with settlement led to lower costs for the first quarter of 2011.

In the second quarter Paynova AB and its partner Lison Technology Ltd each sold 2.5 per cent of the shares in the associated company Chinova Asia Development Ltd to a new partner, Juno Capital Asia Ltd.

TAX

No capitalization of the deferred tax asset on tax loss carryforwards is reported. The preliminary unutilized tax loss carryforwards in the Parent Company in connection with the 2011 tax assessment amount to Sek 257,247 thousand (259,517).

RISK FACTORS

Through its business activities, Paynova is exposed to risks. The most significant risks in business activities include:

RISK FOR FRAUD

Paynova cooperates with leading players in the market to stay at the cutting edge of fraud prevention measures. The company works very actively to prevent fraud, but there is no certain guarantee that Paynova will not be a victim of fraud, beyond what is normally experienced in this type of business, or that Paynova's credibility will not be damaged in another way.

REGULATORY RISKS

Paynova has been PCI-certified (according to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) since 2006 and constantly strives to improve and update its security as the PCI rules are tightened. Although Paynova works actively to prevent payments from being processed in contravention of the applicable rules and regulations of the card issuer networks, there is no guarantee that Paynova will not suffer damage in the future.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that Paynova will be unable to meet its payment obligations when due. Paynova focuses on minimizing this risk by creating the financial conditions to conduct its operations, among other things through high cost-control and by being proactive.

FINANCING RISK

Financing risk is defined as the risk that financing of operations will be difficult and/or expensive to obtain. In view of the company's development, the new share issue for SEK 10 million carried out by the company in March 2011 and the Board's assessments, the Board's is of the opinion that no financing risk exists for the coming 12-month period. In the event of deviations from the planned development, the situation could change.

VALUATION RISK CHINOVA

The book value of the shareholding in Chinova in Paynova's balance sheet is dependent on Chinova's ability to follow the established business plan. If the specified targets are not met, it may be necessary to adjust the recognized value. Paynova's board and management are closely monitoring Chinova's development.

In addition to these risks, there are risks associated with currency exposure, dependency on key persons, market confidence, suppliers of financial services, legal requirements, products, systems and intellectual property rights.

A more detailed description of Paynova's risk exposure is provided in the company's annual report for 2010.
