REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Overview

Due to the rapid weakening in the global economy, strong fl uctuations in the exchange rates and the tightening in the fi nancial markets Teleste's business environment became increasingly uncertain and harder to predict towards the end of the year. e changes in the business environment made our clientele increasingly cautious regarding their investment plans, and the relevant projects were partially pushed back. Similarly, year-on-year framework deliveries were reduced.

On the other hand, the developing Indian market was active and Teleste managed to secure the largest single order on record of EUR 12.0 million from Digicable Networks PVT Ltd for delivery of IP-headends.

Measures designed to increase fl exibility in the cost structure were initiated in the second half of the year. Suffi cient fi nancing was secured by way of binding credit limits agreed with two separate banks. ese limits amount to EUR 40 million in total and remain valid until November 2013.

Product development eff orts continued on a par with last year. e most important project involved the video processing system making use of the IP-based technology.

Events after the End of the Period under Review

e services business was strengthened right in the beginning of January 2009 by acquiring three German companies providing network maintenance services to German operators. In 2009, the acquisitions will increase Teleste's net sales by approximately EUR 30 million. e relevant acquisition cost calculation will be completed by the release of the interim report for Q1 of 2009.

With the share transactions carried out on 14 and 29 January 2009, EM Group Oy fl agged their holding of Teleste to have increased up to 5.04% and 10.57%, respectively.

Net Sales and Profi tability

Teleste net sales totaled EUR 108.7 (125.1) million, a decrease of 13.1 % over the previous year. Net sales in Q4 amounted to EUR 28.1 (31.1) million.

Operating profi t stood at EUR 5.6 (13.2) million making 5.2 % (10.5 %) of the net sales. Operating profi t for Q4 stood at EUR 1.6 (3.0) million making 5.6% (9.8%) of the net sales.

Orders received by the Group equaled last year's level, i.e. EUR 118.6 (118.5) million. Order accrual weakened for the amplifi er solutions included in frame agreements, especially in the second half-year. Orders received in Q4 stood at EUR 25.3 (29.7) million. Teleste's order backlog grew by 11.6% amounting to EUR 24.0 (21.5) million at the year-end. is increase in order backlog was mainly attributable to the signifi cant contract of EUR 12 million secured in June by Broadband Cable Networks in India. Orders worth EUR 7.5 million entered in 2006 and 2007 have been taken away from the order backlog as the relevant deliveries have been estimated uncertain.

Profi t after fi nancial items totaled EUR 5.1 (12.7) million while the net profi t after taxes equaled EUR 5.5 (9.4) million. Accounting period taxes include a tax refund of EUR 1.3 million. e relevant adjustment applied to the tax deductibility of specifi c items for 2004 to 2006. Undiluted result per share for the Group stood at EUR 0.32 (EUR 0.55). Return on capital employed amounted to 10.4% (27.1%) and return on equity was 11.8% (22.2%).

R&D and Investments

R&D expenditure for the period under review totalled EUR 13.5 (13.1) million making 12.4% (10.5%) of net sales. e most signifi cant R&D eff ort involved further development of the so-called Luminato video processing system based on Internet protocol. Our on-going product development eff orts also included the broadband data transfer system EttH, the new generation amplifi er technology Access, the high-density optics solution HDO, video surveillance transfer system MP-X and the CCTV management system VMX. Specifi cation of the Gateway involved in the last mile system FttX and the selection of partners for the implementation stage were successfully completed.

Some 60% (40%) of product development expenses involved further development of product platforms currently in production and their maintenance as well as customer-specifi c product applications. Activated product development expenses stood at EUR 2.5 (2.7) million. is capitalization mainly involved the IP-headend, EttH, and MP-X. Depreciation on activated R&D expenses amounted to EUR 2.2 (1.4) million.

e R&D expenditure in Q4 amounted to EUR 3.4 (3.5) million.

A number of Teleste's projects involved co-operation with Finnish universities and research institutes. 25% of Teleste's personnel (23%/2007, 22%/2006) worked in R&D related assignments.

Investments for the period under review totalled EUR 3.9 (12.3) million making 3.6 % (9.8 %) of net sales. Investments of EUR 2.5 million involved product development while EUR 0.7 million included acquisitions. As to investments for the period, EUR 0.2 (1.8) million was carried out by fi nancial leasing.

Interest bearing debt on 31 December 2008 was EUR 11.0 (9.5) million.

Personnel and Organisation

In 2008, the Group employed, on average, 702 people (681/2007, 608/2006). At the year-end, the fi gure totaled 677 (672/2007, 621/2006) of which approximately 33% (34%/2007, 30%/2006) were stationed overseas. e stated number of personnel does not include temporary labor averaging 29 (64) persons in the fi nancial period. e number of temporary labor at the year-end was 8 (36).

Employees stationed outside Europe accounted for less than 10% of the Group's personnel. Expenditure on employee benefi ts amounted to EUR 33.2 (31.5/2007, 27.1/2006) million.

In the co-determination negotiations concluded in December, temporary lay-off of the personnel was agreed upon as part of the cost structure adaptation procedures required by the market situation. Additional lay-off s involving personnel will be continued in a fl exible manner as required by the market situation.

Description of Business Areas and the Involved Key Risks

Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology company currently running the business units of Broadband Cable Networks and Video Networks. In line with its strategy Teleste continues to focus on the chosen product and technology segments as well services business.

Integrated deliveries of solutions create favorable conditions for growth even if the involved resource allocation and technical implementation pose a challenge involving, therefore, also reasonable risks. e current diffi cult situation in the fi nancial market may slow down implementation of investment plans among the clientele. e way customers proceed with their investments follows a typically cyclic pattern. In compliance with its strategy, by increasing the services business Teleste intends to smoothen this cyclic pattern in its net sales. Furthermore, the prevailing circumstances may undermine the solvency of some customers.

Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for the success of our business areas. It is equally important to take into account any developments in the market such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and competition. Much of Teleste's competition comes from the USA and, therefore, strong euro up against the US dollar erodes the company competitiveness. Teleste hedges against shortterm currency exposure by means of forward contracts.

e Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the company operation and management thereof. Risk management has been integrated into the strategic and operative practices of our business areas. Risks and their probability are reported to the Board with regular monthly reporting.

e company has covered risks related to damage in operative functions of the business areas mainly by insurance policies. ese insurances do not include credit loss risks. No such risks materialized in 2008, and no legal proceedings or judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential signifi cance for the Group operation.

Broadband Cable Networks

Broadband Cable Networks provides its main clientele of cable operators with equipment and systems designed for the construction of transmission network and signal processing. Deliveries include individual pieces of equipment and turnkey networks alike. Increasingly the business also makes available a number of services related to the maintenance and engineering of network infrastructure.

e main market area of Broadband Cable Networks is Europe, which business area involves 21 own sales offi ces supported by a number of retail and integration partners. Outside Europe, Broadband Cable Networks has own offi ces located in China and India. Acquired in February 2008, Ortikon Interactive Oy strengthens the provision of IPTV solutions for the business area.

e product development eff orts of the business area focused, in particular, on further development of the IP-based headend system Luminato, the broadband data transfer system EttH, the new generation amplifi er technology presented by Access and the high-defi nition fi bre-optic solution HDO.

Orders received by Broadband Cable Networks were level with the year of comparison standing at EUR 101.4 (101.4) million. e order backlog was strengthened by the order of EUR 12.0 million received from India in June for the Luminato headend solution. e related deliveries are expected to start towards the end of fi rst half of 2009.

Net sales fell by 14.4% (+26.5 %) standing at EUR 92.6 (108.2) million. is reduction in net sales was mainly caused by a decrease in amplifi er deliveries based on the frame agreements.

Operating profi t decreased by 52.4% (+41.7%) standing at EUR 6.1 (12.8) million. Weakening in the operating profi t was mainly due to diminished net sales.

At the year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 21.0 (19.7) million. Orders worth EUR 7.5 million entered in 2006 and 2007 have been deleted from the order backlog as the relevant deliveries have come to be deemed uncertain.

Orders received in the last quarter of the period under review remained at EUR 19.7 (25.2) million. e decrease in the order accrual for Q4 over the period of comparison was caused by a reduction in orders on amplifi er deliveries related to frame agreements and a weakening in orders obtained from the Eastern Europe.

Net sales for Q4 amounted to EUR 23.8 (25.5) million while the operating profi t stood at EUR 1.7 (2.3) million.

Video Networks

Primary clientele of Video Networks includes public sector organizations and system integrators. e business area is specializing in high-quality video surveillance transfer and management systems carrying real-time video, audio and data. e product development eff orts of the business area focused particularly on further development of IP-based video surveillance transfer systems MP-X and the CCTV management system VMX.

e business has seven sales offi ces in Europe with two overseas, in the United States and Australia, more specifi cally. Sales offi ces in ailand and China were closed in 2008.

Orders received by Video Networks were level with the year of comparison amounting to EUR 17.2 (17.1) million. Net sales fell by 4.8 % (+4.3 %) standing at EUR 16.1 (16.9) million. Operating profi t was EUR 0.5 (+0.3) million in the red. Weakened profi tability was mainly caused by diminished net sales. At the year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 3.0 (1.8) million.

In the last quarter of the year under review, orders received amounted to EUR 5.6 (4.5) million with net sales equaling EUR 4.4 (5.5) million. e year-on-year decrease in the net sales is attributable to rescheduling of deliveries agreed with specifi c customers. Operating profi t was EUR 0.1 million in the red (0.7 million in the black) due to low volume of net sales.

Outlook for 2009

As the off ering of services for the clientele of Broadband Cable Networks increases and becomes more versatile and with the competition intensifying, the operators will need to invest in increased network capacity and improved quality. e competitive solutions of the business area and the strengthening in the demand for the services business ensure our strong market position in the current challenging business environment.

Increased needs for security and more eff ective traffi c infrastructure push up demand for solutions by Video Networks. We estimate the demand for Video Networks' high-quality video surveillance solutions and the systems designed for the industry to remain at a reasonable level in 2009.

In the prevailing uncertain market situation, regardless of the increasing demand by the end-users, our clientele may be cautious with their network investments, which can cause delays in the fi nal investment decisions in the fi rst half of 2009. We believe the market situation to normalize towards the end of the year and get back on the growth path.

Teleste will keep its strong market position it the core markets and continue to implement its strategy in a goal-directed manner while adapting its cost structure as required. In 2009, the recent strategic investments in the services business performed by Teleste cushion the cyclic pattern in the company net sales under the uncertain market conditions.

Due to the temporary delays in network investments, preparations for weakening net sales and profi tability will be made in the 2009 operating plan at least for the fi rst half of the year.

Board of Directors' Proposal for Dividends

Regarding the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 7 April 2009, the Board proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.12 (EUR 0.24) per share would be paid for the outstanding shares for the year 2008.
