”The trend in SRV's operations remained favourable. The Group posted substantial
growth in revenue and operating profit. The profit margin of projects has
improved. In St Petersburg, we have acquired two major development projects,
including land, to enhance the international operations in line with the
strategy. The sale of the hotel in Ekaterinburg, which was concluded in July,
will raise SRV's operating profit substantially in the latter part of the year.
It will also release equity for the development of Russian operations.
Even though the growth prospects of the Finnish national economy have weakened,
the outlook for SRV Business Premises is favourable. The contract to build the
Helsinki Music Centre shows the competence of the SRV approach in demanding
projects. The demand for housing has declined and sales are focused on units
that are close to completion, weakening the profit forecast for the Housing
business area. However, demand for housing construction will continue in the
growth centres, providing a solid base for growth for SRV in the long term. The
company's strong balance sheet and good solvency will enable SRV to tap its
innovative property development know-how in years to come.
In 2008, the group's revenue is expected to remain on the 2007 level. The
group's operating profit is anticipated to outperform 2007 by a substantial
margin, and the Q2 2008 operating profit is expected to surpass the Q1 2008
operating profit,” says Eero Heliövaara, president and CEO of SRV.
In the review period, the SRV Group's revenue grew by 10.5 per cent to EUR 288.8
million (EUR 261.3 million in January-June 2007). The share of revenue generated
in Finland was 90 per cent (90%), whereas 10 per cent (10%) came from Russia and
the Baltic countries. Revenue in the Business Premises business area grew to EUR
197.0 million (EUR 151.6 million). Revenue in the Housing business area declined
to EUR 63.1 million (EUR 84.0 million). Revenue in the International Operations
business area grew to EUR 28.8 million (EUR 25.9 million).
SRV Group's operating profit for the review period was EUR 18.1 million (EUR
10.3 million in January-June 2007). The operating profit margin was 6.3 per cent
(4.0%). Operating profit in Business Premises grew to EUR 18.1 million (EUR 6.5
million). Operating profit in the International business area was EUR 1.1
million (EUR 0.9 million). Operating profit in the Housing business area
declined to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 4.8 million) as housing sales slackened.
SRV Group's profit before taxes for the review period was EUR 15.1 million (EUR
9.0 million in January-June 2007). The profit for the review period was EUR 10.4
million (EUR 6.6 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.28 (0.25). The increase
in the number of shares is due to the share issues and structural changes in
2007. Return on equity was 13.0 per cent (11.0%) and return on investment 16.9
per cent (11.6%).
SRV Group's revenue for the second quarter was EUR 142.4 million (EUR 140.0
million in April-June 2007) and operating profit EUR 9.2 million (EUR 6.8
million). Profit before taxes was EUR 6.8 million (EUR 6.0 million). Earnings
per share amounted to EUR 0.12 (EUR 0.18). The increase in the number of shares
is due to the share issues and structural changes in 2007.
The order backlog was EUR 521.1 million on 30 June 2008 (EUR 517.4 million on 30
June 2007). At the end of 2007 the order backlog was EUR 528.7 million.

Outlook for construction
As the US economy decelerates sharply, the growth of the global economy is
expected to slow down. Uncertainties concerning the prolonged credit crisis in
the US, inflation and exchange rates hamper the assessment of the construction
market outlook.
Finland's economic growth is expected to settle at 2.3 per cent during the
present year. The US-led financial market turmoil increases uncertainties in the
real estate market.
The residential market in Finland slowed down in the first part of the year and
the volume decreased. Residences stay on the market for a significantly longer
time before being sold. The demand focuses on completed units. The number of
residential start-ups has decreased. According to longer-term forecasts, the
need for new housing will remain at about 30,000 units per year until 2020.
Construction of business premises and offices is expected to remain at the
current level this year. The completion of the Vuosaari harbour will support
logistics and warehouse construction in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
The total number of construction permits has decreased from the record level of
2007. The number of construction permits for industrial buildings and warehouses
has stayed approximately unchanged. Construction costs have risen significantly
faster than the general trend in costs since 2003. According to Statistics
Finland, construction costs rose by 4.5 per cent from June 2007 to June 2008.
The cost increase in 2007 was 5.6 per cent. Availability of subcontracting and
materials has developed favourably.
The economic situation in the Baltic countries has deteriorated quickly. The
housing market has clearly cooled down and private consumption is adapting to
the slower growth pace. Due to the fast pace of growth in recent years and the
small size of the market, the assessment of the outlook for economic growth in
the Baltic countries involves uncertainties.
The Russian economy grew at a rate of 8.1 per cent in 2007 and a growth pace of
7.6 per cent is forecast for 2008. Construction has surged, up a whopping 28 per
cent in the first quarter of 2008. Demand is strong in both residential and
business premise construction. The outlook for the Russian warehouse and
logistics market is bright as well. However, inflation in Russia has picked up
on the heels of strong economic growth.

The Business Premises business area comprises SRV Toimitilat Oy's commercial,
business, logistics and rock construction operations and property development.
Revenue in the Business Premises business area grew by 29.9 per cent in the
review period, amounting to EUR 197.0 million (EUR 151.6 million). Operating
profit was EUR 18.1 million (EUR 6.5 million). The volume of the order backlog
and profit margin contributed favourably to the level of revenue and operating
profit. The order backlog was EUR 291.1 million (EUR 323.4 million).
Among the projects completed in the financial period were new headquarters for
Neste Oil and the third office building for the Neste Pension Fund in the
Keilaniemi district of Espoo, the first phase of the TRIO shopping centre in
Lahti, commercial and production premises for the Etola Group in King's Gate in
Porvoo, alteration and extension works for Rolac in Vantaa, a logistics centre
for Itella in the Voutila district in Vantaa, the Biomedicum II project in
Helsinki for the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, the Plantagen garden
store in the Suomenoja district of Espoo as well as various rock construction
projects.
In early 2008 the second phase of TRIO in Lahti and the preconstruction of L&T
Kerca in Kerava were started up. Senate Properties chose SRV as its project
management contractor in the construction and renovation of Svenska Social &
Kommunal Högskolan of the University of Helsinki. Construction got under way on
the Plantagen garden store and the retail centre of the northern wing in King's
Gate in Porvoo, a car store for Autosalpa in Lahti and a logistics warehouse for
Codel in Vantaa.
SRV and Kiinteistöosakeyhtiö Helsingin Musiikkitalo signed a contract for the
construction of the Helsinki Music Centre. The main contract is valued at EUR
90.5 million. The total cost of the Helsinki Music Centre is estimated at EUR
140 million, and it is scheduled to be completed at the end of April 2011.
In March 2008, the Keravanportti property was sold to the real-estate investment
trust REFF I Ky, which is managed by Pohjola Kiinteistösijoitus Oy, a property
investment company. SRV is constructing two retail buildings in Keravanportti.
On 6 March 2008, the Helsinki Court of Appeal announced its decision on the
dispute between SRV Business Premises Ltd and F-Secure Corporation. The dispute
was about interior works done during the construction and whether they are
covered by the original rental agreement. The Court of Appeal did not revise the
decision of the Helsinki District Court, which stated that the construction work
is not covered by the original rental agreement. According to the Court's
decision, F-Secure was sentenced to pay the additional work costs, and the costs
of the trial plus interest. The financial impact pursuant to the decision on
SRV's operating profit was about EUR 0.7 million and about EUR 1.2 million on
profit before taxes. F-Secure has appealed permission for appeal.

The Housing business area comprises housing construction in the Helsinki
Metropolitan Area and the neighbouring municipalities as well as the operations
of the regional subsidiaries. The regional subsidiaries are engaged in housing,
commercial, business premises and logistics construction projects.
Revenue in the Housing business area amounted to EUR 63.1 million (EUR 84.0
million) and operating profit was EUR 1.3 million (EUR 4.8 million). The decline
in both revenue and operating profit was attributable to the slowdown in housing
sales. The housing sales picked up during the second quarter of the year
increasing the revenue and operating profit compared with the first quarter.
The order backlog was EUR 186.8 million (EUR 129.7 million).
Besides housing production, resources were allocated to contracting and during
the review period contracts worth EUR 56.2 million were concluded with external
clients. Of these, the most important in the Helsinki metropolitan area were a
58-unit apartment building for HOAS (Foundation for Student Housing in the
Helsinki Region) in Viikki and the renovation of a 62-unit apartment building
for KY Kiinteistö Oy in the Töölö district of Helsinki. Other contracts that
were concluded included the renovation of an ice stadium for the City of
Jyväskylä, the extension of a dairy for Valio Oy and the construction of
Tietotie upper secondary school for the City of Valkeakoski.
During the review period, the construction of 61 (177) developer contracting
housing units was started and a total of 96 (186) developer contracting housing
units were sold. Sales focused on units that were completed or close to
completion. Sales of residences picked up during the second quarter. At the end
of the period, 247 (593) residential units were under construction. There were
128 (30) completed but unsold residential units. A total of 229 (132)
residential units were completed during the review period. Start-ups of new
developer contracting housing projects will be adjusted to the market situation.

Innovation). Started in 2006, the 3-year project is headed by the University of
Art and Design in Helsinki, in cooperation with Finpro, the Massachusetts

International Operations comprises the business activities of the SRV
International subgroup in Russia and the Baltic countries.
International Operations increased its revenue by 11.3 per cent to EUR 28.8
million (EUR 25.9 million). Operating profit was EUR 1.1 million (EUR 0.9
million). The order backlog was EUR 43.2 million (EUR 64.4 million). The loss
during the second quarter was attributable to costs and investments related to
projects in Russia, the slowing down of activities in Estonia and cost overruns
on a project that was completed during the review period.
Russia
The renovation works of the Pulkovskaya and Pribaltiskaya hotels operated by the
Rezidor Group in St Petersburg were completed in April. In June, SRV signed
contracts valued at around EUR 15 million for further renovation works at the
hotels. Ahlström's glass fibre plant was completed in March.
The construction of the Etmia II office and parking facility in the heart of
Moscow continued. Tenant acquisition commenced during the period. The project is
estimated to be completed by the end of 2008. SRV's role in the project is to
act as the project management contractor and as a co-owner with a 50 per cent
stake. SRV's objective is to sell the project to investors after completion.
Construction of the Papula residential area in the city of Vyborg continued. In
the first phase, 38 units are to be built, and they are slated for completion by
the end of 2008. Seven of the project's units have been sold.
The development of the Eurograd logistics area in St Petersburg continued during
the review period. On 11 February 2008, SRV acquired a 32 per cent share in the
Russian enterprise OOO ”Olgino-4”, which owns a land plot of 24.9 hectares
located north of St Petersburg, in the close vicinity of the Ring Road. SRV
raised its ownership in the enterprise to 49 per cent and will acquire the
majority stockholding by summer 2008. Over 100,000 square metres of logistics
facilities are planned for the site in several stages during the next few years.
SRV intends to commence the construction of the first stage by the end of 2008.
In the review period SRV continued the design, the preparations for construction
and the search for tenants of the Mytichi shopping centre project developed by
SRV that will be realised in the Moscow area. The ensemble will have about
120,000 square metres of floor area. The majority owner of the project is the
Finnish real estate investment company Vicus with a 75 per cent stake. The final
investment decision will be made by the end of this year. In July, SRV signed a
project management contract valued at EUR 107 million for the planning and
construction of the project with the project company. The contract is not
included in the order backlog until the final investment decision is made. The
preparations for construction have started in accordance with the project
management contract. Negotiations with the anchor tenants are under way. The aim
is to finalise the negotiations by the end of the year. SRV owns 25 per cent of
the project and has invested around EUR 4.6 million in it.
SRV concluded a contract with the International Banking Institute (IBI), St
Petersburg, and a local partner concerning the development of an 8.5 hectare
land area in St Petersburg. SRV is developing zoning for the area. The plans
include construction of office and retail space, as well as hotel, restaurant
and entertainment premises. Moreover, facilities will be built for the IBI
university. SRV signed a contract with the British firm Locum Consulting for the
commercial concepts of the project. The aim is to start up development and
construction during 2009. SRV has established a development company named OOO
IBI Invest to implement the project, and acquired a land area for said company.
SRV has invested about EUR 50 million into land and properties as at 30 June
2008. SRV's further investment is estimated at EUR 10-15 million. SRV's
ownership is estimated to be 77.5 per cent of the project when IBI Invest has
acquired all the land areas included in the cooperation contract. SRV's partner
and the future minority shareholder of the joint venture is Mr. Boris
Kholmyansky through the companies that he owns. Mr. Kholmyansky is the main
owner and chairman of the board of the St Petersburg-based company NPO Znamia
Truda.
During the period, SRV continued negotiations with a Russian banking partner
with a view to developing property fund cooperation, which would focus on
development of business premises and on financing construction in Russia. The
investors would be SRV together with a group of international investors as well
as a local partner, who would also administer the fund. Should the plan be
carried out, SRV intends to make a fund investment of around EUR 20 million.
Baltic countries
A partnership project with Facio Ehitus continued in Tartu, Estonia. SRV owns a
plot for 7 high-rise apartment buildings. The construction of one of these
buildings (42 units) was started in summer 2007. The project will be completed
during the next quarter. No start-ups of new developer contracting projects are
planned in the present market situation. One (13) residential unit was sold
during the period and all in all, 45 (7) were up for sale at the end of the
period, 4 of which were in already-completed projects (3).The sale of the
logistics centre that had been leased to Oriola KD in Estonia was completed in
January 2008. Revenue of EUR 5 million was recorded on the sale. Construction of
a vehicle dealership for Inchcape Motors continued and design work for the
Mercantile logistics centre is in progress.
The HRX logistics centre was handed over to the client in Latvia in March 2008.
Mr Guntis Sokolovskis started as head of SRV's Latvian operations and managing
director of SRV Terbelat SIA on 16 June 2008.

Government Building designed by Alvar Aalto, and the adjacent plot, on which a
new building of 12,000 square metres of floor area is being developed. The
listed Government Building will partly be returned to its original use. During
the review period SRV bought 14,700 square metres of floor area in residential
building rights in the Saunalahdenranta district of Espoo. Single-family,
terraced and semidetached houses will be built in the area. In the Aviapolis
business district in the Viinikkala logistics area in Vantaa, SRV bought a 4.5
hectare piece of land, where it plans to build logistics facilities measuring
around 26,000 square metres of floor area.
In June, SRV concluded a preliminary property purchase agreement for the roughly
4.5 hectare land area in the Vantaankoski district of Vantaa. The land area
borders the 6.3 hectare property SRV purchased earlier in the area.
On 14 January 2008, Espoo City Board accepted SRV's planning reservation
application for housing towers above Karhusaarentie road. The plan includes four
27-28 storey buildings and an underground car park on four levels. According to
initial plans, the area includes about 50,000 square metres of residential
building volume, and the total number of apartments would be around 370. The
project would be connected with the implementation of the Keilaniemi metro
station. Plans include a deck that would span over Karhusaarentie road,
connecting the residential site to Tapiola and thereby adding to its supply of
high-quality housing.
New names for SRV's subsidiaries as part of renewed brand
As part of SRV's renewed brand the company renamed its subsidiaries. The name of
SRV Viitoset, which specialises in business premises, was changed to SRV
Business Premises Ltd as of 1 March 2008. The name of SRV Westerlund, which
operates in residential construction, was changed to SRV Housing Ltd. The
renewed brand will bring the Group's business areas more clearly under one SRV
brand.
Changes in Group structure
SRV Group Plc acquired 100 per cent ownership of SRV Keski-Suomi Oy in April
2008 and Rkl Erkki Huhdanpää Oy in June 2008. In order to strengthen the
business structure and operations, SRV started the procedure to merge SRV
Kaakkois-Suomi Oy, SRV Keski-Suomi Oy, SRV Lounais-Suomi Oy and Rkl Erkki
Huhdanpää Oy into SRV Housing Ltd at the end of June 2008. The merging regional

On 11 February 2008, the Board of Directors of SRV Group Plc approved a new
share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel. The Plan includes
three earning periods - the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010. The potential
reward from the Plan for earning period 2008 will be based on the Group's profit
before taxes. The potential reward from earning period 2008 will be paid in
2009, partly as shares in the company and partly as cash. The proportion to be
paid in cash will cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. The
shares may not be transferred during the two-year restriction period. If a key
person's employment or service ends during said restriction period, he/she must
return the shares rewarded under the Plan to the company without compensation.
Approximately 60 people are covered by the Plan during earning period 2008. The
rewards to be paid for earning period 2008 correspond to the approximate value
of a total maximum of 450,000 SRV Group Plc shares (also including the
proportion to be paid in cash).
Risks, risk management and corporate governance
General economic trends and changes in customers' operating environments have an
immediate effect on the construction and property markets. A change in the
general interest level has a direct impact on both SRV's actual cash flow from
operating activities and financing costs. General economic situation has
weakened and interest level has gone up.
SRV's revenue is generated by construction projects, and the company's result
depends on the profitability of individual projects as well as their progress.
The recognition date of the developer contracting projects also depends on the
percentage of sold premises in projects. Housing sales have slowed down in
Finland and in Estonia, in particular.
Construction is subject to significant risks relating to subcontracting and
deliveries, and their control underlines the need for long-term planning. The
project management contracting model requires skilled and competent personnel.
Warranty and liability obligations related to construction can span up to ten
years.
Besides land acquisition risks, property projects face, among other things,
risks relating to outcome of zoning, financing, commercialisation of projects,
geographical location and type of project. In accordance with its strategy, SRV
focuses on developer contracting projects and has increased its land acquisition
in Finland and in Russia, in particular.
The financial risks related to the SRV Group's business are interest rate,
foreign exchange, liquidity and counterparty risks, which have been presented in
the Notes to the 2007 Financial Statements.
The Group's risk management is carried out in line with the Group's operations
system and control is exercised in accordance with the Group strategy approved
by the Board of Directors of the Group's parent company. The Group's president
and CEO has overall responsibility for risk management. SRV also makes every
effort to cover operational risks by means of insurance and contractual terms. A
more detailed account of SRV's risks, risk management and corporate governance
policies has been disclosed in the 2007 Annual Report and Financial Statements.
SRV estimates that no other essential changes have occurred in company's risks.
Corporate governance and resolutions of general meetings
The Annual General Meeting was held on 14 April 2008. The AGM adopted the
financial statements for 2007 and granted release from liability to the members
of the Board of Directors and the president and CEO. A dividend of EUR 0.12 per
share was declared.
Mr Ilpo Kokkila was elected chairman of the Board of Directors and Mr Jukka
Hienonen, Mr Lasse Kurkilahti, Mr Matti Mustaniemi and Mr Markku Sarkamies were
elected to seats on the Board. In its organisational meeting on 14 April 2008
the Board of Directors elected Lasse Kurkilahti vice chairman of the Board.
Matti Mustaniemi was elected chairman and Markku Sarkamies member of the Audit
Committee. Ilpo Kokkila was elected chairman and Jukka Hienonen and Lasse
Kurkilahti members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
Mr Jarmo Lohi, Authorised Public Accountant, was elected as the company's
auditor, and the firm of public accountants Ernst & Young Oy was elected deputy
auditor, with Mr Mikko Rytilahti, Authorised Public Accountant, acting as
principal auditor.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to resolve on the
acquisition of the company's own shares (treasury shares). The authorisation is
in force for 18 months from the decision of the Meeting. A maximum of 3,676,846
own shares, or a lower amount that, in addition to the shares already owned by
the company and its subsidiaries, is less than 10 per cent of all shares, may be
acquired on the basis of the authorization. The Annual General Meeting
authorised the Board of Directors to resolve on the transfer of treasury shares
against payment or without consideration. The authorisation is in force for 18
months from the decision of the Meeting.
Shares and shareholders
SRV Group Plc's share capital is EUR 3,062,520. The share has no nominal value

shares. SRV's shares were admitted to public trading on the OMX Nordic Exchange
Helsinki Pre List on 12 June 2007 and on the Main List on 15 June 2007. SRV had
a total of 6,017 shareholders at 30 June 2008. SRV did not receive any flagging
notifications during the reporting period.
The closing rate at the end of the review period was EUR 5.28 (5.02 on 31
December 2007). The highest share price in the review period was EUR 6.60 and
the lowest was EUR 4.67. The change in the all-share index of the Helsinki Stock
Exchange (OMX Helsinki) during the same period was 26.1 per cent negative and
the OMX Industrial and Services index 16.3 per cent negative.
At the end of the review period, the company had a market capitalisation of EUR
193.1 million, excluding the Group's own shares. About 9.3 million shares were
traded on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in the review period and the trade volume
was EUR 51.3 million.
At the end of the review period, SRV Group Plc's subsidiary SRV Kalusto Oy had
150,241 of SRV Group Plc's shares. The shares were acquired in accordance with
the conditions of the merger plan of SRV Group Plc and SRV Henkilöstö Oy. On 30
May 2008, SRV Group Plc's Board of Directors decided to use the authorisation to
acquire the company's own shares. Share acquisition started on 9 June 2008. On
30 June 2008, SRV Group Plc and SRV Kalusto Oy had a total of 193,241 of SRV
Group Plc's shares, representing 0.5 per cent of the total number of the

a total of 259,500 shares (0.7 per cent of the total number of the company's
shares and combined number of votes).
Financial targets
In the medium term SRV aims to achieve annual average growth of approximately 15
per cent in Group revenue and annual average growth of 30 percent in revenue in
International Operations. SRV aims to increase the level of operating profit
and, in the medium to long term, to achieve an operating margin of 8 per cent.
Also, the company aims to maintain an equity ratio of 30 per cent.
Events after the end of the reporting period
In July, SRV signed a contract for the sale of shares in ZAO Nordrus Hotel with
Wenaas Hotel Russia A/S, which belongs to the Norwegian Wenaas Group. ZAO
Nordrus Hotel owns the 160-room Park Inn hotel in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The
selling price of the shares was EUR 22.5 million. The transaction requires the
consent of the Russian competition authorities, which is expected during
September/October. The transaction will generate operating profit of about EUR
13 million.
In July, SRV signed a project management contract valued at EUR 107 million for
the planning and construction of the Mytichi shopping centre project with the
project company. The majority owner of the project is the Finnish real estate
investment company Vicus with a 75 per cent stake. The final investment decision
will be made by the end of this year. The contract is not included in the order
backlog until the final investment decision is made.
Outlook for 2008
Construction of business premises is estimated to remain at its present level
this year. Selling times of residences have lengthened in Finland, demand has
decreased and the demand is estimated to focus on projects that are close to
completion. Russia's strong economic growth is set to support the development of
International Operations.
The volume and nature of the order backlog support the level of revenue and
earnings in 2008 and provide a favourable basis for the operating profit trend.
The sale of the Park Inn hotel in Ekaterinburg is estimated to bring in
operating profit of EUR 13 million in the latter part of the year.
Due to uncertainties concerning housing sales, revenue in 2008 is expected to
remain on the 2007 level.
The group's operating profit is anticipated to outperform 2007 by a substantial
margin, and the Q2 2008 operating profit is expected to surpass the Q1 2008
operating profit.

1) In calculating the key ratio only the profit for the period has been
annualised
4) Adoption of new standards, changes and interpretations in 2009
In July, IFRIC published a new interpretation guide concerning the income
recognition procedures for developer contracting projects (IFRIC 15: Agreements
for the Construction of Real Estate), The coming into effect of the standard
requires the approval of the European Commission. SRV will adopt the approved
interpretation guide as from 1 January 2009 and will analyse the effects of the
application of the interpretation guide on the financial data reported by the
Group.
Outlook for 2008
In July, SRV signed a contract for the sale of shares in ZAO Nordrus Hotel with
Wenaas Hotel Russia A/S, which belongs to the Norwegian Wenaas Group. ZAO
Nordrus Hotel owns the 160-room Park Inn hotel in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The
selling price of the shares was EUR 22.5 million. The transaction requires the
consent of the Russian competition authorities, which is expected during
September/October. The transaction will generate operating profit of about EUR
13 million.
In July, SRV signed a project management contract valued at EUR 107 million for
the planning and construction of the Mytichi shopping centre project with the
project company. The majority owner of the project is the Finnish real estate
investment company Vicus with a 75 per cent stake. The final investment decision
will be made by the end of this year. The contract is not included in the order
backlog until the final investment decision is made.
