Increase in turnover of 9% over the first semester

Non audited turnover for the first semester 2007 was 17.2 million euros, an increase of 9% over first semester 2006. Turnover for the second quarter 2007 progressed by 3.8%. Gross margins grew by around 5% over the same period.

Growth driven by the Technology and Marketing Services business units

The Technology and Marketing Services business units, respectively representing 62% and 23% of 2006 turnover, grew by over 11% over the first semester 2007. Soft Computing’s Consulting Services, representing 15% of revenues in 2006, fell by 10% over the first semester.

Satisfactory activity and price levels

Overall, order indicators, as far as price and business activity are concerned, are green. The most sensitive variable remains that of employees, due to a continuously tight recruitment market. Standard operating results for the first semester, to be published on August 29, 2007, should be positive for the period.

Net Treasury

Soft Computing’s net treasury remains at a comfortable level of 2M€, without debt or billing recourse.
