President and CEO Jarmo Niemi:
“The third quarter was once again strong in terms of the result. The operating
profit was EUR 3.3 million, 18% of net sales. The cash flow from operations in
the quarter was excellent, at EUR 9.8 million. Cash funds at the end of the
period stood at EUR 25.2 million. The company is debt-free.
Net sales in the nine month review period increased 9%, which is more than
market growth and very good considering developments in the value of the US
dollar. I am particularly satisfied with the 30% growth in maintenance net
sales. During the period the average price of the US dollar was some 12% lower
than one year ago. If the actual figures achieved in the first three quarters of
2008 were adjusted by this amount, the company's net sales and also its
operating result would be almost EUR 4 million greater.
In the third quarter the Messaging business unit supplied several new but small
projects. Partner sales were less than last year. Net sales were low and the
reported operating profit was close to zero. Net sales for the entire nine month
period grew 3% and the operating profit was 20% of net sales.
The Charging business unit had a strong third quarter in terms of net sales and
result. The unit's operating result in the third quarter was extremely good, at
32 % of net sales. Growth in net sales in the review period was 17% and the
operating result was 9% of net sales.”
Unless otherwise stated, all figures presented below are for the review period
1-9/2008 and the figures for comparison are for the corresponding period
1-9/2007.
The formulas used to calculate the key figures presented in the interim report
and the accounting principles are the same as those published in the 2007 annual
report.
SALES AND NET SALES
Tecnomen's net sales in the review period increased by 8.9 per cent to EUR 55.5
(51.0) million.
EUR 35.3 million of the sales in the review period has been recognised in
accordance with IAS 11 (Construction contracts) and EUR 20.2 million in
accordance with IAS 18 (Revenues).
Net sales by geographical area were: Americas 53.4 per cent (50.1 %), EMEA 34.0
per cent (42.5 %) and APAC 12.6 per cent (7.4 %).
Net sales by product line were: Messaging 52.6 per cent (55.9 %) and Charging
47.4 per cent (44.1 %).
Sales through global partners totalled EUR 7.9 (17.1) million or 14.3 per cent
(33.5 %) of net sales.
Maintenance and service sales totalled EUR 13.0 (10.0) million or 23.5 per cent
(19.7 %) of net sales.
The order book stood at EUR 17.2 (17.1) million at the end of the review period.
Americas accounted for 58.4 per cent of the order book, EMEA for 31.5 per cent
and APAC for 10.1 per cent.
OPERATING RESULT
Net sales in the review period totalled EUR 55.5 (51.0) million and the
operating result EUR 6.5 (7.1) million. The operating result was affected by the
average exchange rate for the US dollar, which was some 12% lower than in the
previous year. Tecnomen's sales in the Americas, EUR 29.7 million, are mainly
denominated in US dollars. Capitalisation of research and development costs and
amortisation of these had the net impact of weakening the result by EUR 0.8
million compared to the previous year. The operating result in the review period
was 12% (14%) of net sales.
Tecnomen's business operations are based on project sales. The income and costs
recorded for these vary considerably from one quarter to another. For this
reason it is important to base an examination of the profitability of the
company on the result for more then one quarter.
The result for the period before taxes was EUR 7.7 (7.3) million.
Earnings per share were EUR 0.09 (0.11). Equity per share at the end of the
period was EUR 1.34 (1.28).
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
Tecnomen's liquid assets totalled EUR 25.2 (9.2) million. The cash flow for the
nine month review period was EUR 7.8 million, which includes dividends of EUR
4.1 million paid in the first quarter. The cash flow in the third quarter was
EUR 9.8 million.
The balance sheet total on 30 September 2008 stood at EUR 94.3 (89.2) million.
Interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 0.0 (0.0) million. The debt to equity
ratio (gearing) was -31.8 per cent (-12.1 %). The balance sheet structure
remained strong and the equity ratio on 30 September 2008 was 83.9 per cent
(84.7 %).
Tecnomen's gross capital expenditure during the review period, excluding the
capitalisation of development costs, was EUR 0.9 (0.8) million or 1.7 per cent
(1.6 %) of net sales.
Financial income and expenses (net) during the review period totalled EUR 1.1
(0.2) million. This comprised mainly actual exchange rate gains due to the
strengthening of the US dollar.

MARKETS
Messaging
Messaging sales in the third quarter were lower than in the first half of the
year since no major system expansions were supplied then. Maintenance sales
remained strong in all main market areas, however. Tecnomen also supplied
a couple of small Next Generation Messaging (NGM) systems to existing customers
in Africa and Latin America. In addition Tecnomen obtained a new customer for
the NGM system in Africa and in Latin America.
Charging
The growth in subscriber numbers continued encouragingly in South and Central
America and in Africa. During the third quarter Tecnomen received major
expansion orders for its charging solutions and also a new, major charging
customer in Latin America. The completion percentage of current projects also
improved well.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs during the review period totalled EUR 11.8 (11.6)
million, corresponding to 21.3 per cent (22.7 %) of net sales. EUR 5.7 (5.5)
million of development costs were capitalised during the review period and will
be amortised over 3-5 years from the start of commercial use. R&D costs of EUR
2.5 (1.6) million were amortised during the review period.
PERSONNEL
At the end of September 2008 Tecnomen employed 354 (352) persons, of whom 88
(89) worked in Finland and 266 (263) elsewhere. The company employed on average
360 (354) people during the review period. Personnel by geographical area were

CURRENT AUTHORISATIONS
Tecnomen's Annual General Meeting held on 12 March 2008 authorized the Board of
Directors to decide on acquiring a maximum of 5,790,000 of the Company's own
shares. Own shares may be acquired with unrestricted shareholders' equity
otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders through public
trading of the securities arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy at the market price
of the shares in public trading at the time of the acquisition. The shares can
be acquired for the purpose of developing the capital structure of the Company,
carrying out corporate acquisitions or other business arrangements to develop
the business of the Company, financing capital expenditure, to be used as part
of the Company's incentive schemes, or to be otherwise retained in the
possession of the Company, disposed of or nullified in the extent and manner
decided by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the right to
decide on other terms of the share acquisition. This authorisation is valid for
one year from the decision of the Annual General Meeting. The authorization has
not been exercised during the review period.
The AGM also authorised the Board to decide on issuing and/or conveying a
maximum of 17,800,000 new shares and/or the Company's own shares held by the
Company either against payment or for free. The AGM authorized the Board of
Directors to grant the special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of
the Companies Act. The Board was authorized to decide on how to use the shares,
and the authorization includes the right to decide on a free share issue to the
Company itself. The number of shares to be issued to the Company together with
the shares repurchased to the Company on the basis of the repurchase
authorisation shall be a maximum of one tenth (1/10) of all the Company's
shares. These authorisations are valid for two years from the decision of the
Annual General Meeting. The authorisations have not been exercised during the
review period.
STOCK OPTION PROGRAMMES
During the review period the company had in force a 2002 stock option programme
and a 2006 stock option programme.
In the 2002 stock option scheme, the only current series were the 2002D stock
options. The subscription period for these was 1 April 2006 - 30 April 2008. The
share subscription price for the 2002D stock option was EUR 1.04. The
subscription price for the 2002D stock option was reduced by the amount of the
dividend paid per share (EUR 0.07).
During the review period 25,000 new company shares were subscribed with the
2002D stock options. At the end of September 2008 the company had 59,277,078
shares registered in the Trade Register.
Since the subscription period for the 2002D stock options ended on 30 April
2008, the 2002 stock options have been removed from the book-entry securities
system and the option has been nullified.
The 2006 stock option programme is divided into three series: the 2006A, 2006B
and 2006C stock options. A maximum of 2,001,000 stock options may be issued,
which entitle holders to subscribe for altogether 2,001,000 Tecnomen shares. The
subscription period for the 2006A stock option is 1 April 2007 - 30 April 2010,
for the 2006B stock option 1 April 2008 - 30 April 2011 and for the 2006C stock
option 1 April 2009 - 30 April 2012. The share subscription price for 2006A
stock options is EUR 2.54, for 2006B stock options EUR 1.39, and for 2006C stock
options EUR 1.05. The subscription prices for the 2006A, 2006B and 2006C stock
options have been reduced by the amount of the dividend paid per share (EUR
0.07). Tecnomen's Board of Directors has issued 304,000 2006A stock options and
667,000 2006B stock options to key personnel of Tecnomen Group. The remaining
2006 stock options have been issued to Tecnomen Japan Oy, a wholly owned
Tecnomen subsidiary, for issuing at a later date to current or future key Group
personnel.
Altogether 2,001,000 stock options remain on 30 September 2008 of all Tecnomen's
stock options in circulation. The shares that can be subscribed on the basis of
these stock options account for a maximum of 3.27 % of the Company's shares and
the votes carried by the shares after any increase in share capital. On 30
September 2008 the Company still held 1,030,000 of all the current stock
options. The issued stock options had a maximum diluting effect on 30 September
2008 of 1.61 %.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
The risks and uncertainty factors are explained in the report of the Board of
Directors. The risks and uncertainties to which the company is exposed in the
near future relate to major projects that are under negotiation and to their
timing, and to changes in currency exchange rates. No significant changes have
taken place in the company's risks and uncertainty factors compared to the
previous interim report.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD
No significant events have occurred after the end of period.
PROSPECTS FOR 2008
The prospects for 2008 have not changed significantly since the previous interim
report.
The total market for Messaging and Charging is expected to remain unchanged in
2008 from the previous year. The market for conventional proprietary systems is
declining but for IP-based solutions the market is growing. The global economy
remains uncertain and making forecasts is difficult.
Net sales in 2008 are expected to be higher than in 2007. To safeguard its
growth potential in the coming years and through this a better financial
performance, Tecnomen is, however, putting much effort into the new convergent
charging products of its Charging business and its markets.
Despite the improvement in net sales, because of these major efforts and the
weakness of the US dollar compared to last year, it is estimated that the 2008
euro-denominated operating profit will be smaller than the 2007 figure.
Variations between quarterly figures are expected to be considerable.

on 22 October 2008 in the Pavilion conference room at the Scandic Hotel
Simonkenttä, Helsinki. The material presented at the press conference will be
