- 2009 has been a challenging year, but towards the end of the year we have seen
signs of improvement. This is confirmed by increased order intake in all
countries. Furthermore we have in 2009 taken actions to make the company more
efficient and focused, which gives us reason for optimism going forward, says
Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO of Data Respons ASA.

The Group's operating revenue in the fourth quarter was NOK 170.8 million, a
decrease of 31% from the same period last year. EBITDA was NOK 4.1 million, and
EBIT NOK 2.1 million. Order intake during the quarter totalled NOK 182 million,
and cash flow from operating activities was NOK -0.3 million in the quarter.

The Group's operating revenue for 2009 was NOK 726.1 million, a reduction of
11% compared to 2008. EBITDA was NOK 14.4 million, adjusted for one-off expenses
of NOK 35.0 million from Q2-09. Cash flow from operating activities was positive
with NOK 3.8 million in 2009. The order backlog was NOK 425 million at the end
of the year.

Increased order intake
- From the third to the fourth quarter the order intake increased by 58% to NOK
182 million as a result of a positive development for all the countries towards
the end of the year. Going into 2010 we also see that the "pipeline" of larger
and long-term solutions contracts is increasing, says Ragnvaldsen. This is an
indication that the market conditions are improving.

Increased outsourcing
- Now that the markets are improving, we will see companies invest in
development and new opportunities, while maintaining a focus on cost control,
says Ragnvaldsen. That is why I believe that more companies will choose to enter
into strategic partnerships for development and deliveries, instead of doing
everything themselves. Data Respons is very well positioned in this respect,
with a complete value chain and cost effective solutions helping our customers
to be more competitive.

Renewed optimism
- During 2009 we have implemented a series of initiatives making us more
effective and focused, and as a result we have increased our competitiveness.
The company is lean, our staff is alert, and we are again ready for new and
large opportunities. We are expecting profitable growth in 2010, says
Ragnvaldsen.
