The market situation for the fourth quarter 2001 includes
major uncertainties and risks. The company considers that it
is feasible to reach net sales in the range of 20 to 22 Meur
for the fiscal year. Results for the fiscal year 2001 will be
negative. SSH management anticipates that SSH’s third quarter
revenue will be slightly better than in its second quarter.

The uncertainty prevailing in the IT market in the U.S and in
Europe is continuing to affect the company’s short-term
revenue. More customers are now considering Internet security,
but they are not certain how quickly they will place purchase
orders.

SSH’s new products have now been introduced into the markets
and achieved their first sales. The first SSH Certifier sales
and the first SSH Sentinel sales were completed at the end of
the third quarter. Also, the first SSH Complete VPN orders are
in the final process for completion early this fourth quarter.
Reaching the upper limit of the range depends on these new
products.
