| 25.3.2014 10:09 | Nýherji sells Applicon in Denmark 25.3.2014 10:09Nýherji sells Applicon in DenmarkNýherji hf. has sold its Danish subsidiaries Applicon A/S and Applicon Solutions A/S. The buyer is Ciber A/S in Denmark, a member of the IT group Ciber Inc. (NYSE: CBR). The purchase price is confidential. The sale will not have a material effect on Nýherji hf.'s Q1 2014 results, but will strengthen its liquidity position and allow for a better focus on remaining operations. Ciber in Denmark will take control of Applicon on 1 April 2014. With about 40 employees, the Applicon companies in Denmark specialise in sales and consultancy services related to SAP business software and the development of related software solutions. Finnur Oddsson CEO of Nýherji hf.: "The sale of the Applicon companies in Denmark marks a turning point for the Nýherji Group. We have now sold all our businesses in Denmark, which have not performed as well as we would have liked in recent years. This is partly due to the lack of synergies between our Danish operation on the one hand and Nýherji's subsidiaries in Iceland and Sweden on the other hand. We are very pleased with Ciber's acquisition of the Applicon companies and believe that it will bring a range of benefits. Applicon's selection of services and products is a good fit with Ciber's existing offerings and a combined entity will be better equipped to meet the needs of demanding customers. We also see opportunities for future collaboration between Ciber and Nýherji. The sale will allow us to concentrate fully on the operations of Nýherji and TM Software in Iceland and the remaining Applicon subsidiaries in Iceland and Sweden. We expect that this will allow us to further improve our service to customers and improve the Group's performance."

Nýherji hf. Third Quarter Results for 2011
28.10.2011 17:07Nýherji hf. Third Quarter Results for 2011Nýherji's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) amounted to ISK 376 million for the first nine months of 2011.
Highlights
-- EBITDA was ISK 77 million in Q3, as compared to ISK 169 million for the
corresponding period last year.
-- Net profits totalled ISK 18 million for the first nine months of the year.
-- Applicon Denmark posted a loss of ISK 90 million during the quarter due to
delays in the delivery of a software solution.
-- The operation and performance of all other business units and subsidiaries
of the Group was in line with projections.
-- Nýherji has entered into an agreement with Landsbanki Íslands to act as a
market maker for the Company's shares.
Thórdur Sverrisson, CEO:
“The performance of the Nýherji Group was below expectations during the
quarter. All the Group's units and subsidiaries performed as projected, with
the exception of Applicon A/S in Denmark. In collaboration with a partner in
Denmark, the company has been working on the implementation and delivery of an
extensive solution for a public entity, and delays in delivery have resulted in
substantial additional costs for Applicon. The performance of the Group's other
units has been fine and the outlook for the fourth quarter is good.”

No. 530292-2079, Borgartún 37, 105 Reykjavík, Iceland, with reference to Articles 122 and 120 of Act No. 108/2007 on Securities Transactions, provisions of Regulation No. 630/2005 on Inside Information and Market Abuse and Article 2 of Rules for Issuers of Financial Instruments, Nasdaq OMX Iceland is hereby notified of the following developments: Pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated 2 January 2009, Nýherji hf. assumed control of the companies Skyggnir hf., TMS Origo ehf., EMR ehf., Vigor ehf., Viðja ehf., TM Software ITP ehf. and Theriak Medication Management ehf., from its subsidiary Roka ehf. (previously TM Software ehf.). Nýherji also acquired the subsidiary's real estate and liquid assets. By a decision of the District of Reykjanes on 17 March 2010, Roka ehf. was subjected to bankruptcy proceedings at the request of Straumur-Burdarás Investment Bank hf. This decision was confirmed by a judgment of the Supreme Court pronounced on 7 May 2010 in case No. 205/2010. On Wednesday 19 January 2011, the bankruptcy estate of Roka ehf. filed a lawsuit against Nýherji hf. seeking avoidance of the disposal of the aforementioned assets pursuant to the parties' purchase and sale agreement and the payment of compensation. Nýherji hf. dismisses the bankruptcy estate's claims as without merit. The company maintains that it paid a fair price for the assets concerned and that all creditors of the bankruptcy estate were treated equally. Consequently the company intends to defend itself against the bankruptcy estate' claims. Nýherji hf. has substantial claims against Roka ehf. which it filed in the bankruptcy proceedings. It remains to be seen whether the claims filed against the estate will be accepted, but in the unlikely event that the estate's compensation claim is successful, Nýherji hf. will presumably be able to recoup a large part of the compensation amount back from the estate, thus reducing the company's financial risk in respect of the lawsuit.

15.12.2010 07:51Correction - Nýherji's Q3 operating profit (EBITDA) was ISK 169mPublished 2010-10-25 15:11:21
Correction:
In not reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements published
on 22 October 2010, the total amount of profit for the period and items in the
statement of comprehensive income not affecting cash flow in operating
activities was too low by ISK 210 million. Furthermore, changes in trade
receivables and other short term receivables were misstated by the same amount.
The error did not affect cash used in operating activities during the period or
the statement of cash flows in any other way. The accompanying chart shows the
adjustment.
The auditors of Nýherji hf. have finalized the review of the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements for the first nine months of the year
2010. Attached are the interim financial statements including the audit report.
No further changes were been made to previous interim financial statements,
other than the adjustment of an error in the statement of cash flows.

25.10.2010 13:11Nýherji's Q3 operating profit (EBITDA) was ISK 169mHighlights
• The EBITDA in the third quarter was ISK 169 million, but for the same period
in 2009 EBITDA was by ISK 107 million.
• Total profit in the first nine months was ISK 132 million, while for the same
period last year the total loss was ISK 178 million.
• Nýherji hf. increased its share capital by ISK 840 million at market value.
• Agreements with the company's commercial bank on restructuring of long-term
loans are finished.
• Nýherji's real-estate will be sold for ISK 1650 million, in parallel with the
company entering into a 15-year lease agreement.
• Plans call for lowering the company's debt by ISK 2600 million.
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
"During the year there has been very positive development in the operations of
Nýherji and its domestic subsidiaries, and the performance is excellent in the
third quarter of 2010. The demand for computers and technical equipment has
increased, and sales are above plan. After a considerable decrease in the
number of software consultants, a balance has been achieved with the demand for
domestic software services, and these operations are now profitable.
Nýherji increased its share capital by ISK 120 million at nominal price and
sold it to investors at an price per share of 7.0. At the same time agreements
with the company's commercial bank on restructuring of long-term loans were
signed. The overall impact of the measures is that the company's equity will be
strengthened by nearly ISK 1 billion. The increase in share capital, sale of
real-estate and decrease in debt will lower interest-bearing debt by ISK 2600
million. At the conclusion of these measures, Nýherji's financial position will
again be strong, and the company's equity ratio will exceed 30% at the end of
the year. The company's main emphasis will be on further improving performance
with the continuing rationalization of operations."

30.9.2010 10:24Nýherji hf. increases share capital by ISK 840 million at market value and signs agreements with Arion Bank and Islandsbanki.The Board of Directors of Nýherji hf. has decided to utilize the authorization
of the annual general meeting last February to increase the company's share
capital by ISK 120 million at nominal par. The company has signed agreements
with investors on the purchase of this share capital at an exchange rate of
7.0, and the total sales value is therefore ISK 840 million. This week share
capital in the amount of ISK 28 million at par value will be registered with
Icelandic Securities Depository, and share capital in the amount of ISK 92
million will be registered in December. About half of the share capital
increase comes from new shareholders. After the increase in December, the
company's issued share capital will be ISK 400 million at nominal par.
Nýherji has also signed agreements with Arion Bank, on one hand, and
Islandsbanki, on the other, on reorganization of the company's long-term loans,
where the payment period will again be normal.
In order to further lower the company's debt, Nýherji has entered into an
agreement on the sale of the company's real-estate at Borgartún 37, and the
sales price is ISK 1650 million, which will generate sales profit in the amount
of ISK 82 million. In parallel with this, the company has signed a 15-year
lease agreement for Borgartún 37.
Because of debt restructuring from foreign to domestic loans, the loan
principal will decrease. The overall effect of this decrease and the
aforementioned sale of Borgartún 37 is after-tax profit of about ISK 150
million, based on the position at the end of Q2 2010.
The overall impact of the measures is that the company's equity capital will be
strengthened by nearly ISK 1 billion in 2010. At the conclusion of these
measures, Nýherji's financial position will again be strong, and the company's
equity ratio will be over 30% at the end of the year. Also, the cash position
and the company's current ratio will again be normal. After the agreements the
company's interest-bearing debt will be about ISK 2.6 billion. The loan payment
periods will range from 7 to 15 years. Interest-bearing debt has also been
halved since 30 June 2010.
"The operations of Nýherji and its subsidiaries have been strengthened in
recent quarters, and the prospects are good for still better performance of the
group's operations in the next several quarters. In Q2 EBITDA from the
company's operations was ISK 123 million, but next year's plans call for it to
be about ISK 160 million on average per quarter. With the above-specified
changes, the company will recoup its previous financial strength, in parallel
with achieving good operational performance," according to Nýherji's CEO
Thordur Sverrisson.

Nýherji's Results for First Half 2010
26.7.2010 15:23Nýherji's Results for First Half 2010Highlights
• The total income in the first half was ISK 100 million, while for the same
period last year the total loss was ISK 71 million.
• The EBITDA in the second quarter was ISK 123 million, but for the same period
in 2009 EBITDA was negative by ISK 109 million.
• Product sales in the domestic market in the second quarter were up 30%
compared with the same quarter last year.
• Positive EBITDA has been achieved in the operations of foreign subsidiaries,
and the outlook in the second half is good.
• Plans call for agreements being concluded in the near future with the
company's commercial banks on financial reorganization.
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
"The company stayed on plan the first half, and the outlook is good for the
second half. Foreign and domestic subsidiaries working in software services
made good profit instead of last year's operational loss. Efforts to lower
operating costs within the group succeeded, and performance therefore improved.
Nýherji has progressed a long way in discussions with the banks on reorganizing
the group's finances, which are expected to conclude in the near future."

Nýherji's results for Q1 2010
29.4.2010 11:48Nýherji's results for Q1 2010Highlights of Q1 2010 performance
• Total group income amounted to ISK 3,509 million, or similar to that of Q1
2009
• EBITDA for the quarter was ISK 35 million, while total comprehensive loss on
the period was ISK 130 million
• EBITDA on domestic operations is positive, while foreign operations are on
the borderline
• Applicon A/S concluded a major 3-year contract for ISK 1.8 billion, ensuring
good performance from operations abroad this year. The loss on Applicon's Q1
operations amounted to ISK 32 million, but the outlook is for good profit for
the remainder of this year
• The company's financial situation will be reinforced in coming months with a
share capital increase and sale of assets
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
“Operating income on Nýherji's domestic activities grew by 3% over the previous
year in Q1 and EBITDA improved by almost ISK 65 million. Q1 product sales are
up by almost 25% from Q1 last year and software consultancy and services are
regaining balance.
Major contracts of Applicon A/S improved the operating performance of
activities abroad at the end of the quarter. While this company has operated at
a loss totalling ISK 125 million the past two quarters, these contracts ensure
good results in upcoming quarters.
The outlook for the company's performance is now positive, following the
extensive actions undertaken in Iceland to cut costs, adapt operations to the
market situation and obtain important contracts both at home and abroad.
Nýherji's main task for the coming months will be to secure the company's
financial situation. Proposals have been approved by the Board of Directors to
the company's bankers involving measures to conclude its financial
restructuring, including a share capital increase and sale of assets.”

Nýherji hf. 2009 Results
2.2.2010 09:38Nýherji hf. 2009 Results2009 Highlights
• Income of the Nýherji Group totalled ISK 14,332 million (m) for the year, a
YoY decrease of 4%.
• Domestic sales of goods returned a profit, while software activities,
technical services and consultancy reported losses.
• Subsidiaries in Denmark reported Q4 losses.
• EBITDA for the year was negative by ISK 62m, although domestic performance
improved during the latter part of the year. Final loss for the year was ISK
686m.
• Nýherji faces stiff and growing competition from resurrected companies now
owned by banks.
• Goodwill has been written down by ISK 322m following impairment tests of
subsidiaries.
• Extensive cost-cutting measures have been undertaken, including reductions in
the number of employees in Iceland by almost 100 during the year.
• Work continues with the company's banks on restructuring its debt, in tandem
with issuing new share capital. A motion will be raised at the company's AGM
to authorise a share capital increase of up to ISK 120m nominal value.
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
“Nýherji's operating environment in 2009 was very difficult, resulting in a
loss on the year. The Icelandic market situation has been characterised by a
sharp contraction in demand, due to lower investment by businesses in new
technology and software solutions. This has hit the IT market hard, and debts
amounting to tens of billions of ISK of some of the company's main competitors
have been written off when the companies were resurrected by state-run banks.
Such actions distort competition and the performance of other companies in the
IT sector. For Nýherji, these economic setbacks have meant the loss of over a
hundred employees since the banks' collapse. Further cost-cutting measures had
to be taken in January this year, to meet the abnormal situation on the
domestic market.
Despite the substantial uncertainty which persists in the economy, there are
positive signs for acceptable performance in 2010, as prospects are good for
group companies to conclude contracts for various major projects in Iceland and
abroad. To reinforce the company's financial basis, work is currently underway
in collaboration with our banks to conclude financial restructuring together
with contracts for long-term financing, in accordance with the general
corporate action plans offered to businesses, and to increase Nýherji's share
capital. This process is expected to conclude in Q2 2010.”

- Nýherji's results for Q3 2009
27.10.2009 13:29- Nýherji's results for Q3 2009Nýherji's results for Q3 2009
Highlights of 9M results 2009
• EBITDA amounted to ISK 107 million in Q3
• Good performance in new software projects abroad
• Operations of Applicon companies in Denmark and Sweden are stable
• Net result for the quarter was negative by ISK 107 million, compared to a
negative outcome of ISK 258 million in 2008
• Plans for a new share issue
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
“There was a turnaround in operating profit at Nýherji in Q3 after three
difficult quarters and the group is now moving in a more positive direction.
The company's EBITDA for the quarter amounted to ISK 107 million, and is
approaching that of Q2 and Q3 2008. Sales of equipment and solutions in Iceland
increased as the quarter progressed, giving a cautious indication of better
prospects for sales of operating and technical services. Nýherji has focused
strongly on lowering operating expense this year, which has resulted in
improved performance as the year has advanced. Continuing restraint will
reinforce operating performance in Q4.
The operations of Applicon companies in Denmark and Sweden are steady and their
outlook acceptable, despite contraction in the economy of both countries.
Approximately one-third of group income originates from the activities of
foreign subsidiaries.
The situation on the Icelandic market for software services and consultancy in
Iceland has prompted the Icelandic arm of the group to seek opportunities
elsewhere. Applicon ehf. and TM Software ehf., both Nýherji subsidiaries in
software services, have responded to the sharp domestic downturn by actively
seeking projects abroad. As the situation stands today, over one-third of these
companies' income comes from project for clients overseas. The Nýherji group
has adopted a strategy of further increasing the number of projects undertaken
abroad by the group's consultants and technical personnel, for instance, by
taking advantage of the strong market position of its subsidiaries in Denmark
and Sweden.
As a step towards reinforcing Nýherji's financial position, the company's Board
of Directors has decided to begin preparations for a new share issue.”
Operating results for the first 9M of 2009
9M results - Key Figures (see attachment)
Sales of goods and services amounted to ISK 10,339 million (m) in the first 9M

to ISK 2,379 since year-end 2008. Current liabilities have increased from ISK
5,319m to ISK 5,895 since year-end 2008. Equity amounted to ISK 1,785m at the
end of September and the equity ratio was 17.8% at the end of Q3 compared to
19.7% at the end of last year.
Operating outcome in Q3 2009
Quarterly results - Key Figures (see attachment)
Sales of goods and services amounted to ISK 3,301m in Q3 2009, compared to ISK
3,664m during the same quarter of the previous year, or a YoY drop of 9.9% for
the quarter.
Salaries and related expenses were ISK 1,357m, compared to ISK 1,426m for the
same period the previous year. The total number of full-time equivalent
positions was 628 at the end of Q2 compared to 721 for the same period the
previous year. Due to exchange rate movements, salaries of foreign employees
have risen by 43% in ISK terms over those of Q3 2008, or by ISK 197m.
Operating costs totalled ISK 527m in Q3 2009, compared to ISK 361m in the same
quarter of 2008. EBITDA was positive by ISK 107m during the quarter, compared
to a positive figure of ISK 125m for the third quarter of 2008.
Net financial cost was ISK 171m, compared to ISK 389m in the third quarter of
2008. Final loss for the quarter was ISK 107m, whereas in Q3 2008 the final
loss amounted to ISK 258m.
Summary of Q3 operations
Nýherji's software sales were well above estimates in Q3 and considerably
better than in Q3 last year. Sales of servers are slightly below forecasts, as
the market has contracted substantially YoY. Demand for computers and
communications equipment has also fallen. Sales of operating supplies and
accessories to corporates have been good and have risen as the year progresses,
while sales of print solutions are below forecast. Performance of the parent
company Nýherji was positive but below forecast.
Operations of Sense ehf., which specialises in audio-visual solutions and
operates the Sony Center and Sense Center in Kringlan, were successful. Sales
of consumer equipment, e.g. from Canon, Sony and Vivanco, have been stable in
2009. The project pipeline of the company's technical services in Iceland is
back on track and the outlook for Q4 is good.
There was a positive turnaround in Q3 at Skyggnir ehf., which provides
technical and operating services. Projects have grown in number as the period
advanced and demand has increased for various customised services, such as IT
optimization projects. Skyggnir also began to offer managed services in
Denmark, in co-operation with its sister company Dansupport and it is hoped
that this venture will bring positive results in Q4. The improvement in
performance in Q3 gives cause to expect that Q4 performance will be acceptable.
TM Software ehf. has placed greater emphasis on projects abroad due to the drop
in sales of software solutions in Iceland. Due to both the sharp contraction
and difficult operating environment in Iceland, the company reported a loss in
this quarter. The increase in projects abroad, however, reached a sufficient
level in the latter part of Q3 to give reason to expect that the bottom has
been reached and a slow improvement and positive operating performance lies
ahead. Operations of EMR ehf., TM Software's subsidiary specialising in
healthcare-related IT services, performed well during the period. Healthcare
companies and institutions in Iceland have, to a growing extent, been utilising
IT from EMR to increase the cost-efficiency of their activities.
The uncertain market situation in software development has impacted the
operations of Vigor ehf., which has responded by cutting operating expense.
This is expected to deliver an improved performance in Q4. Vigor, which sells
comprehensive business software, has a strong position in serving most of the
country's large energy companies.
Activities of Applicon ehf. returned a good profit in Q3, which is generally
the company's most difficult quarter. Restructuring in H1 this year, together
with strong marketing efforts in Iceland and abroad, have resulted in lower
cost and improved the company's deal flow. Income exceeded expectations, in
particular thanks to projects overseas during the summer months. Almost half of
the quarter's service income resulted from new projects for foreign clients,
and the project pipeline and outlook for Q4 are positive.
Operations at Nýherji's subsidiaries in Denmark and Sweden proceeded at a good
pace. Income of Applicon in Denmark in Q3 was good, as the company holds a
strong position in the Danish market and is working on obtaining additional
contracts for larger Danish companies. Although the Danish IT market has been
stagnant this year, analysts expect growth to pick up in 2010. Operations at
Applicon in Sweden are in line with forecasts. Recently the company has
undertaken projects for several of the largest Nordic banks, Nordea, Swedbank
and Handelsbanken. The outlook for Q4 performance is positive. Close
co-operation between Applicon companies in Denmark, Sweden and Iceland has
resulted in additional projects, for example, for the banks ING in the
Netherlands and Nationwide in the UK.
Dansupport's efforts to lower its operating costs have resulted in improved Q3
performance. Its project flow is acceptable and its Q4 performance is expected
to be positive.
Outlook
Extensive cost cutting, strong marketing efforts and improved utilisation of
consultants and technical personnel have resulted in a turnaround in Nýherji's
operation profit. The aim is to improve operating performance further in Q4
2009 and the outlook for next year is positive.

- Nýherji's Performance in the First Half of 2009
27.7.2009 16:47- Nýherji's Performance in the First Half of 2009H1 2009 highlights
• Final profit in H1 amounted to ISK 90 million
• Substantial drop in software development and consultancy projects in Iceland
• Operations of foreign subsidiaries generally in line with forecasts
• Revaluation of asset items affects final profit for the period
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
“Nýherji's performance fell short of expectations in the first half of 2009,
with the contraction in domestic demand greater than anticipated. Sales of
software development and consultancy services, in particular, have fallen
sharply. On the other hand, sales in certain product classes, such as technical
equipment for the consumer market and operating supplies, have exceeded
forecasts.
Operations of Nýherji's foreign subsidiaries are generally in line with
forecasts Despite the economic recession in Denmark and Sweden, the project
pipeline of Applicon companies in these countries is good. They have renewed
contracts with leading customers as well as adding new projects. The activities
of these companies is important for Nýherji hf. due to the economic and
exchange rate situation in Iceland, since their income comprises around
one-third of total group revenue, a more significant contribution than often
before.
Final profit of Nýherji hf. in the first half of this year amounted to ISK 90
million, as revaluation of asset items had a major impact on performance for
the period.”
Operating results in H1 2009
6M results - Key Figures (See attachment)
Sales of goods and services amounted to ISK 7,037 million (m) in H1 2009,

turnover of 3%. Income from activities in Iceland amounted to ISK 4,775m and
income from foreign subsidiaries ISK 2,262m.
Salaries and related expenses were ISK 3,164m, compared to ISK 2,919m for the
same period the previous year. Due to exchange rate movements, salaries of
foreign employees have risen by 48% in ISK terms over those of H1 2008, or by
ISK 444m. The average number of full-time equivalent positions in the first 6M
of 2009 was 662, compared to 755 during the same period of 2008. Operating
expense was ISK 1,300m, compared to ISK 954m in H1 2008. EBITDA in H1 2009 was
negative by ISK 117m, compared to a positive figure of ISK 268m in H1 2008.
Net financial cost was ISK 333m, compared to ISK 669m in the first half of
2008. Loss on the period was ISK 793m compared to a loss of ISK 432m during the
first 6M of 2008. Final profit amounted to ISK 90m while total loss in H1 2008
was ISK 298m.

At the end of the period total assets amounted to ISK 10,173m, compared to ISK
9,952m at year-end 2008. Non-current liabilities have increased from ISK 2,669m

year.
In Q2 several asset items on the group's balance sheet were revalued. Real
estate and furnishings owned by the company are now recognised at ISK 1,717m.
Furthermore, goodwill arising from assets in subsidiaries was reduced by ISK
180m and a deferred tax credit written down by ISK 150m, for a total of ISK
330m, which explains the increase in write-offs and higher operating loss on
the quarter.

Net financial cost was ISK 257m, compared to ISK 155m in the second quarter of
2008. Final profit for the quarter was ISK 88m, whereas in Q2 2008 the final
loss amounted to ISK 89m.
Business overview
Sales of computers and technical equipment by Nýherji hf., the parent company,
are roughly in line with forecasts. Sales of operating supplies are above
expectations, while demand for communications and network equipment and office
equipment has been lower than anticipated.
The income of Skyggnir ehf., the group's technical services and hosting
company, fell somewhat short of forecast. This can be attributed in part to
fewer projects involving installation of new technical equipment and
postponement of service projects by customers. During the period Skyggnir
signed several new specialist and managed service contracts to ensure more
cost-efficient operation of clients' IT systems. Regular contract income
therefore was in line with estimates and comprised around three-quarters of the
company's total revenue.
Sense ehf. performed acceptably and above estimates at the end of the quarter,
primarily due to strong sales of cameras and technical equipment for the
consumer market. Larger projects in audio and visual solutions are fewer than
previously, but the project pipeline ahead is acceptable.
The very extensive downturn and stagnation which has gripped the Icelandic
economy has resulted in especially difficult conditions for the operation of
software and consultancy companies. Although many customers were intending to
undertake various projects, the uncertain economic situation and limited access
to financing means decisions have been postponed, resulting in a sharp
contraction in projects for software specialists and consultants.
This contraction has hurt the operations of TM Software ehf., reducing hours of
invoiced labour time by several dozen percent and resulting in an operating
loss. To meet this contraction, TM's management and experts have managed to
acquire further software projects abroad, which now comprise over 20% of the
company's income. Operations in H1 2009 were acceptable at EMR ehf., TM
Software's subsidiary specialising in healthcare-related IT. EMR's project
pipeline is good and it has engaged additional employees in response to
increased demand for the company's services.
Applicon ehf. operated at a loss in Q2, like TM Software, due to a large scale
drop in its projects in Iceland. Major changes were made to the activities of
Applicon ehf. during the quarter, including cost-cutting measures and
increasing emphasis on sales of projects abroad. Icelandic experts of Applicon
ehf. currently work in the Netherlands, the UK and Nordic countries and income
from services abroad has grown steadily.
The operations of Vigor ehf., Applicon's subsidiary handling the operations and
service of business software used by most of the country's major energy
companies, are in balance.
Following the banks' collapse, business consulting companies have grown in
number, increasing competition in the field while at the same time specialist
projects have declined in number. These developments have meant an operating
loss at ParX ehf. which has responded to the altered situation by reducing its
operating expenses, which should deliver better results in the latter half of
this year.
Activities at Applicon A/S in Denmark are on target, although the Danish
economic situation is more difficult than often before. Applicon A/S has
concluded new contracts for coming quarters with several of its largest
clients, such as Dong Energy A/S, a leading Danish energy company. The company
has a good project pipeline for the latter half of this year and the outlook is
for a very credible performance, as in preceding years.
Operations at Applicon AB in Sweden were in profit in Q2 and in line with
expectations. The company has continued to build up its activities, for
instance, by concluding a contract with Ålandsbanken, which recently took over
Kaupthing's banking operations in Sweden, to operate the bank's SAP computer
system. At the same time, Applicon hired six of the bank's IT department
employees. Applicon works closely with Sweden's largest banks, including
Nordea, Swedbank and Handelsbanken, in setting up and servicing software
systems. Despite some downturn in the Swedish economy, Applicon's prospects are
good.
The net result of Dansupport A/S in Denmark was negative reflecting the
difficult situation of Danish IT companies in the recession. It has taken
longer than planned to get Dansupport's operations back into balance, but it is
hoped that this will be accomplished in the latter half of 2009.
Operating Environment
At present, some ten months after the economic collapse in Iceland, contraction
continues in the domestic market and high uncertainty prevails as to when and
under what conditions companies will regain their footing and a more normal
operating environment develop. The lengthy delay in recapitalising the banks
and returning them to normal operations, as well as in reaching settlements
with neighbouring countries and foreign creditors on major issues of
contention, is causing continuing damage to business and industry. This
situation delays still further the return of business operations and company
performance to better balance. At Nýherji and many other companies, these
difficulties are reflected, for instance in the following:
• A sudden and pronounced drop in projects, for instance, in the field of
software development and consultancy, has meant a lack of work for specialists
for which, due to the uncertainty, no end is in sight.
• If a turnaround is not effected soon, there is a real danger that the
investment in innovation and development undertaken in past quarters in
software and technology will dissipate and could even be lost in Iceland.
• Well educated and knowledgeable employees have begun transferring to jobs
abroad; around 3% of employees in the Nýherji group have already moved or are
moving to work at IT technology companies abroad, including Nýherji's
subsidiaries.
• Due to the banks' uncertain situation and their weak capital position,
companies have difficulty in financing investment in operational restructuring
which delays possibilities to improve their performance.
• In various sectors, such as IT, the state banks and creditors have taken over
companies' operations and provide stiff competition with other private sector
companies which have not become insolvent.
• State owned companies and institutions have slashed their purchasing of
expert services in various areas and now have in-house employees look after
these tasks, with the result that layoffs are avoided in these companies but
appear at private sector companies.
Iceland has plenty of opportunities for projects abroad, as well as the
potential to attract investment from foreign parties in the country. It is
urgent that the key tasks of reviving the banks and achieving a settlement with
our neighbours be concluded, so that companies can regain their footing and a
turnaround take place in business and industry.
Outlook
The operating environment for Icelandic companies will continue to be
challenging and both Denmark and Sweden are feeling the effects of economic
recession. This means continuing uncertainty regarding Nýherji's domestic
activities, while the prospects for performance of its foreign subsidiaries are
acceptable.

- Nýherji's results for Q1 2009
27.4.2009 11:48- Nýherji's results for Q1 2009• Substantial improvement in operating performance from Q4 2008
• Nýherji Group profit of ISK 3 million in Q1
• 1/3 of income originates from successful activities in Denmark and Sweden
• Equity ratio increases and debt decreases in the quarter
• Profit on product sales and operating services
Thordur Sverrisson, CEO:
“The performance of the Nýherji Group in the first quarter of 2009 has improved
significantly over the fourth quarter of 2008. The variety of measures taken in
order to curtail the Group's operating cost in view of the volatility and
uncertainty prevailing in the Icelandic economy has already brought partial
results. In February, a salary reduction of 10% was applied to all employees of
Nýherji hf. and its subsidiaries in Iceland. The number of employees has also
been reduced by 13% from the average number of full-time equivalent positions
last year, affecting technical, software and development work. Software
development projects have also been postponed. These actions will result in a
further reduction in operating cost in Q2.
The performance of Nýherji hf. and its Icelandic subsidiaries providing
operating and technical services, as well as product sales, in Q1 was positive.
Activities of foreign companies overall are close to forecasts. The economic
climate of Nýherji's subsidiaries in Denmark and Sweden is steady and the
outlook good. On the other hand, demand for services of business software,
software solutions and consultancy in Iceland has contracted considerably. The
Nýherji Group therefore returned a profit of ISK 3 million in Q1 2009.”

| 4.2.2009 13:29 | - Comment from the Auditors 4.2.2009 13:29- Comment from the AuditorsThe annual financial statements of Nýherji hf. for 2008 were published on 30 January and, as usual, have been endorsed without reservation by the company's auditors. In 2008 the ISK exchange rate dropped very substantially and the company's liabilities linked to foreign currencies have increased accordingly. As a consequence thereof, the company no longer satisfies the covenants in loan agreements specifying a minimum capital ratio or operating profit ratio. The company's annual report includes a comment from its auditors, referring to Note 19, where this is explained. Discussions held by company management with credit institutions on extending its loans are well advanced. Internal restructuring of the Nýherji group, together with the altered situation of the commercial banks, has delayed the negotiations, but the parties expect to achieve a positive result at the beginning of next month. |

27.1.2009 13:21Nýherji hf. - 2008 ResultsHighlights of 2008 results
• Sales of goods and services totalled ISK 14,650 million (m), a YoY increase
of 30%.
• The loss for the year amounts to ISK 1,201m compared with a profit of ISK
420m in 2007.

Publication of annual financial statements
According to the new rules of OMX Nordic Exchange in Iceland, the company now
publishes the principal results of its income statement and balance sheet. The
2008 annual results were discussed at meeting of the Board of Directors of
Nýherji hf. on 23 January 2009 but, in accordance with the new rules, have not
yet been endorsed by the Board and the company's auditors. The final 2008
annual financial statements will be submitted to the Board of Directors and
auditors for endorsement on 30 January and published that same day. The annual
results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
Þórður Sverrisson, CEO:
“Nýherji's operations and performance in Q4 reflect the sudden tumultuous
changes to the operating environment of Icelandic companies after the collapse
of the Icelandic financial sector and the massive depreciation of the Icelandic
krona (ISK). The abrupt transformation of the economic environment had a major
impact on operations, resulting in a Q4 loss of ISK 507m and losses for the
year amounting to ISK 1,201m.
In October, Nýherji introduced a variety of cost-cutting measures to improve
the operations of the parent company and subsidiaries, including employee wage
reductions of 10% from 1 February and postponement of further software
development projects both in Iceland and abroad. The actions announced are
estimated to result in operating cost reductions of over ISK 600m in 2009 for
the Group in Iceland.”

- Nýherji Third Quarter Report 2008
3.11.2008 08:42- Nýherji Third Quarter Report 2008Key results for the first nine months of 2008
• Sales of goods and services amounted to ISK 10,729m, an increase of 38% over
the same period in 2007.
• EBITDA: ISK 393m compared to ISK 489 in 2007.
• The equity ratio is 25% despite currency losses amounting to ISK 730m.
• Losses year-to-date in 2008 amount to ISK 694m compared with a profit of ISK
302m for the same period in 2007.
• The implementation of a new business model has been initiated, which will
generate economies and increase the specialisation of subsidiaries.
Message from Thórdur Sverrisson, Managing Director:
“Nýherji's core business operations evolved much as anticipated during the
quarter and provided satisfactory returns over the first nine months of 2008.
The same applies to a part of the group's subsidiaries in Iceland and software
divisions overseas. Income from Nýherji's overseas subsidiaries is currently
22% of the group's net income, contributing to stability in the company's
operations.
The new business model for the Nýherji group, under development since the
spring, was unveiled at the beginning of October. Its implementation will be
completed in November. The goal is to sharpen the focus on customer services,
by specialising subsidiaries in defined areas and generating economies in the
company's operations.
Nýherji's operations are multifaceted and diversified, its financial position
is sound and its equity ratio is 25.4% despite an ISK 730m charge from currency
losses during the year.”
Sales of goods and services amounted to over ISK 10,729m during the first 9
months of 2008, as compared to ISK 7,776m for the same period in 2007. Sales,
therefore, have increased by 38%. Revenue from the operation in Iceland
amounted to ISK 8,396m and revenue from subsidiaries abroad was ISK 2,333m.
Salary and salary-related expenses were ISK 4,345m compared to ISK 2,382m for
the same period last year. The average number of full-time equivalent positions
during the first nine months was 714. The increase in salaries is due to the
considerable growth in the number of employees and also to the increased
payroll costs for overseas employees reported in Icelandic króna.
Operating expenses totalled ISK 1,197m during the first nine months of 2008, up
from ISK 652m for the same period last year. Earnings before interest, tax and
depreciation (EBITDA) were ISK 393m for the period, compared to ISK 489m in
2007.
Net financial expenses totalled ISK 1,058m, compared to net financial income of
ISK 47m for the same period last year. Higher financial expenses were due to a
58% depreciation of the Icelandic króna during the period and increased debt
due to recent acquisitions. Losses during the first nine months of the year
amounted to ISK 694m while profits for the same period last year amounted to
ISK 302m.
Total assets at the end of Q3 2008 were ISK 9,142m compared to ISK 5,661m at
the end of 2007. Non-current liabilities increased from ISK 1,180m at year end
to ISK 2,586m at the end of September, while current liabilities increased from
ISK 2,716m to ISK 4,259m over the same period. Equity increased by 32% over the
9-month period, standing at ISK 2,324m at 30.09.2008. This increase is due,
among other things, to the issue of new shares in April. However, losses since
the beginning of the year reduced the total amount of equity raised.
Sales of goods and services in the third quarter amounted to ISK 3,600m,
representing an increase of 42% compared to ISK 2,750m for the same period last
year. Sales, therefore, have increased by 31% from Q3 last year.
Salary and salary-related expenses were ISK 1,426m compared to ISK 770m for the
same period last year. The total number of full-time equivalent positions at
the end of the period was 721.
Operating expenses amounted to ISK 361m in Q3 2008, up from ISK 217m in Q3
2007. Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) were ISK 125m for
the period, compared to ISK 188m for the same period in 2007.
Net financial expenses over the period amounted to ISK 389m, compared to ISK
57m the previous year. Losses over the quarter amounted to ISK 262m, compared
to a profit of ISK 93m for Q3 2007.
Business Overview
A new business model for the Nýherji group was unveiled at the beginning of
October and will be implemented in November. The model will be used to sharpen
the focus and emphasis on selected specialisations and thereby ensure greater
flexibility and opportunities for subsidiaries. Additional benefits include
economies on expenses and synergy in sales activities.
Nýherji will be the parent company of six main subsidiaries. Moreover, Nýherji
will be responsible for the sales and logistics of computer and technical
equipment.
Nýherji's main subsidiaries after the changes are:
• Skyggnir ehf., specialising in the field of IT optimisation, unified
communications and outsourcing services;
• Sense ehf., for digital solutions, such as for audio and video equipment;
• TM Software ehf., focusing on software development and software integration;
• Applicon ehf., focusing on business software, financial solutions and
specialised sector-based solutions;
• A new company to be established for the entire group's joint support
services;
• ParX ehf. which will continue to specialise in the field of business
consultancy.
A portion of the operation will move to Urdarhvarf 6 in Kópavogur, where TM
Software is currently located, although the company will continue to have
operations in Nyherji's premises at Borgartún 37.
The operational performance of Nýherji's core business has been very
satisfactory over the year so far and results are, for the most part, in line
with projections. Sales in the areas of servers, storage solutions and in the
design and development of data centers have been quite good. Furthermore, there
has been considerable demand for communications solutions, such as IP telephony
and teleconferencing solutions, as well as hosting services. Sales of printing
solutions have been in line with projections. However, PC sales are down from
the same time in 2007.
The results of the Applicon companies are positive, particularly at Applicon AB
in Sweden and Applicon A/S in Denmark. The project pipeline in these companies
is good and in tune with expectations. However, the operation of Applicon ehf.
in Iceland has proven difficult. Moreover, the operation of Applicon Solutions
A/S in Denmark and Applicon Solutions Ltd. in the U.K. returned losses.
The operation of Dansupport A/S in Denmark has undergone restructuring,
resulting in good sales projections and the expectation that this operation
will reach a break even point by the end of the year.
The software development operations of TM Software have returned acceptable
results. However, work is underway on various changes in its outsourcing
services aimed at improving the company's results. Among other things, Skyggnir
will be operated as a separate company and the activities of Nýherji's
technical departments will be transferred to the new company. This change will
open up many opportunities for the company, such as projects overseas.
Prospects
The business outlook in Iceland is not as clear as it has been. Greater
uncertainty is due to changes in the operation of commercial banks and
circumstances on financial markets. Although there may be a downturn in sales
in the domestic market, service income remains more or less stable. In
addition, the income and results of Nýherji's overseas subsidiaries is quite
good. Due to uncertainty, the Q4 results of the Nýherji group may now be
expected to be somewhat below original projections. Changes in circumstances
will be met with streamlining activities. It must be emphasised that the
foundations of Nýherji's operation are sound and leverage is moderate. However,
given the current economic situation, it is very difficult provide reliable
projections for operational results over the coming months.
Approval of the interim financial report
The Q3 2008 interim financial report for Nýherji hf. was approved at a meeting
of the Board of Directors on 22 October. The interim financial report is
prepared in accordance with IFRS.

| 31.10.2008 15:42 | - New business model for Nyherji 31.10.2008 15:42- New business model for NyherjiThe Board of Directors of Nyherji has decided to adopt a new business model and structure for the company. The goal is to sharpen the company's focus by clearly defining the specialisations of its subsidiaries in particular fields while integrating and increasing efficiency in company operations. The principal changes are as follows: • Nyherji hf. will be the parent company of six main subsidiaries. Nyherji hf. will also be responsible for sales and product development of computer and technical equipment. • Each subsidiary will specialise in a defined area of services, software or consultancy, with the goal of meeting client needs in that specialist field. • The subsidiaries will be: o Skyggnir ehf., specialising in the field of IT systems optimisation, communications solutions integration and operating services. o Sense ehf., for digital solutions, such as for audio and video equipment. o TM Software ehf., focusing on more extensive software development and systems integration. o Applicon ehf., focusing on business software, financial solutions and specialised sector-based solutions. o A new company will be established for the entire group's joint support services and will, in the future, offer such services to other clients. o ParX ehf., which will continue to specialise in the field of quality business consultancy. • The operation will, for the most part, move to Urdarhvarf 6 in Kópavogur, where TM Software is currently located, although the company will continue to have operations in Nyherji's premises at Borgartún 37. • The new business model of the Nyherji group will be implemented in November. The principal tasks of the employees of Nýherji and its subsidiaries involve working closely with clients in achieving greater flexibility, lowering costs or other benefits in their operation. The changes mean that focus on these goals will be sharpened even further to ensure that employees achieve optimal results in co-operation with clients. Nyherji has a staff of around 550, 500 of whom are employed by its subsidiaries and 50 in the parent company. Overseas employees number approximately 180 and, as a result, there are a total of around 730 people working for Nyherji and its subsidiaries. Important step in Nyherji's development Since it was established in 1992, Nyherji has been one of Iceland's most dynamic companies in the field of information technology. The company emerged as a result of the merger of IBM á Íslandi and Skrifstofuvélar-Sund hf. It has been listed on the stock exchange in Iceland since 1997. The last few years have seen significant changes in Nyherji's operations based, on the one hand, on the company's policy of expansion through the acquisition of technology, consultancy and software companies and, on the other hand, on the substantial internal growth of the company's core operations. In October 2005, Nyherji acquired the Danish company Applicon AS, a specialist consulting company in the field of SAP software. At the same time, Nyherji's own consultancy work in SAP and related software here in Iceland was transferred to a separate subsidiary, Applicon ehf. In March 2007, Nyherji bought the company Link ehf., which subsequently took over the Sony Setrid in Kringlan. Around that time, the Sense retail outlet opened, offering digital solutions and equipment for homes and companies. In January 2008, Applicon in Sweden contracted to buy the company Marquardt & Partners AB, which later merged with Applicon in Sweden to form an organisation with almost 40 consultants. An Applicon company was established in the UK offering SAP consulting. At the end of January this year, Nyherji signed an agreement to acquire the company TM Software hf. which, along with subsidiaries offers a diverse range of solutions in the field of operational services and software. TM Software hf., with its workforce of 230, is located in the new buildings at Urdarhvarf 6 in Kópavogur. The wide range of operations now provided by Nyherji and its subsidiaries in Iceland brings a need for changes in the business model and structure of the Nyherji group. The objective of the changes is to operate separate companies that focus on customer needs in well-defined and demarcated fields. In the Nyherji group's business model, each subsidiary provides quality solutions and specialist knowledge to meet the needs of customers and implements those solutions in a satisfactory manner for each client. Companies in the new business model: 1. Nyherji hf. will operate as the parent company with six main subsidiaries in Iceland along with other subsidiaries abroad. The company will also sell computers and related equipment from leading manufacturers such as IBM, Lenovo, Avaya, Canon, Cisco and others, as previously. Nyherji will have a staff of 50.

• Net loss: ISK 432 million compared to ISK 209 million profit in 1H 2007
Message from Thordur Sverrisson, Managing Director:
“The operating and net income from both Nýherji's core business and from
Applicon's operations outside Iceland was satisfactory. Negative returns from
recent investments weighed on results for the quarter, but work will continue
on creating synergies between existing and recently acquired businesses. EBITDA
was lower than last year, because of net losses in certain operating units and
considerable expenses for software development. The continued depreciation of
the krona and high interest rates in Iceland have also had a greater negative
impact on our net income than anticipated.”

- CA Managing Director new Manager at Dansupport
30.4.2008 12:34- CA Managing Director new Manager at DansupportOn 1 May 2008, Kim Lave Nielsen will take over the position of Managing
Director of the Dansupport, a Danish subsidiary of the Icelandic Nýherji Group.
Kim Lave Nielsen is to manage the company´s growth in the Danish market.
Dansupport has recruited an experienced member of the profession to continue
the growth of Dansupport in the Danish market. Kim Lave Nielsen is leaving his
position as head of CA to manage Dansupport, a company offering comprehensive
solutions in the field of IT and hosting services for mid-cap companies. Kim
Lave Nielsen replaces Thorvald Jacobsen, who has temporarily acted as the

"I am looking forward to taking on the challenge of competing with the leaders
on this market. From my time with CA and Baan and from my time as the Head of
IT at Skandinavisk Tobak, I have both good and bad experiences to bring to the
position, and it will be a pleasure to work in a company with a strong profile
of expertise and scope for self-determination is substantial.
The Icelandic company Nýherji, which employees 740 employees, took over
Dansupport a year ago. The Danish IT company has therefore a strong backer,
which may make all the difference from the other players in the Danish market.
“Through close co-operation with Nýherji, we have access to more than 300
qualified IT experts and can utilise their expertise for Danish customers.
Dansupport's strength lies in being small and open to opportunities and, at the
same time, having a strong support base with easily accessible resources. This
involves, on one hand, understanding the needs of customers, and on the other,
the opportunity to offer highly developed services, integrated networks and the
implementation of software and telephone technology. All carried out speedily
and effectively without any unnecessary complications”, says Kim Lave Nielsen.
Dansupport, with 46 employees, has deep expertise in systems integration. This
Danish company, with branch offices in Odense, Copenhagen and Kolding, is
involved in the implementation and provision of services for IT solutions based
on technology from IBM, Avaya, Cisco and Microsoft.
“Kim has the experience and the character needed to bring Dansupport into a
leading position in the Danish market”, says Thórdur Sverrisson, Managing
Director of Nýherji and Chairman of the Board of Dansupport.
Kim Lave Nielsen has 20 years' experience in IT organisation and management. At
CA he was responsible for 130 employees, and over the past 5 years he has
played an important role in the success of CA on the Danish market. Previously,
he was an Area Managing Director and member of the Board of Baan Nordic.

- Q1 Results 2008
23.4.2008 19:03- Q1 Results 2008First Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights
Sales of goods and services ISK 3,373. million, up by 41% from Q1 2007
EBITDA ISK 145 million in Q1 2008, was ISK 143 million in Q1 2007
Operating profit (EBIT) ISK 100 million, down 18,8%
Losses due to the depreciation of the Icelandic Krona ISK 431 million
Net loss ISK 341million compared to ISK 105 million profit in Q1 2007
Nýherji completed the acquisition of TM Software hf for ISK 1,417 million and
the Swedish IT consulting company Marquardt & Parnters AB for ISK 357 million
A successful new share offering for the nominal value of 45 million at the
price per share of ISK 22 completed
Nýherji sold 9.000.000 million of its own shares at the rate of ISK 22 per
share in April
Thordur Sverrisson, Managing Director, comments:
“The quarter was characterized by the passing of several significant milestones
in our operations and volatility in financial markets. Nýherji completed the
acquisition of TM Software hf and Applicon strengthened its operation in Sweden
with the acquisition of the IT consulting company Marquardt & Parnters AB. As
a result over 50% of Nýherji's revenues are for first time attributable to the
sale of outsourcing, software and system integration services rather than the
sale of hardware.
In the light of the tough conditions in financial markets it was particularly
pleasing that Nýherji's new share offering was fully subscribed. The new equity
strengthens Nýherji's balance sheet which was further solidified at the
beginning of April by the sale of 3,4% stake of Nýherji's own shares.
The EBITDA performance of the core business was in line with the company´s
plans, but the EBITDA for some of the recently acquired subsidiaries was below
expectations. The 28% depreciation of the krona had a significant impact on our
bottom line in Q1 with currency losses amounting to ISK 431 million. Despite a
net loss of ISK 341 million, all the underlying fundamentals of the business
are strong and profitable. We are therefore optimistic about the future
performance of the business.”
Prospects
The volatility of financial markets could impact demand for IT solutions in the
second half of the year. Prospects for the second quarter are though quite
good, with sufficient projects in the pipeline.
