INTERIM REPORT OF COMPTEL CORPORATION
1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2011
In April - June, net sales and operating profit declined from the previous year
partly due to the restructuring of operations executed during the review
period.
Key figures for the second quarter:
-- Net sales EUR 20.0 million (Q2 2010: 21.0)
-- Operating profit EUR 1.2 million (3.8), 6.0% of net sales
-- Earnings per share EUR 0.00 (0.03)
-- Order backlog EUR 37.7 million (38.8)
Key figures for the first half:
-- Net sales EUR 36.8 million (H1 2010: 39.0)
-- Operating profit EUR 1.0 million (4.0), 2.8% of net sales
-- Earnings per share EUR -0,01 (0,02)
As earlier stated, Comptel net sales are estimated to grow moderately in 2011.
During this year, the company is investing in the development of its sales and
service channels, and as a result the operating profit is estimated to remain
at the previous year's level.
Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO
”Comptel's order intake improved compared to the previous year. During the
second quarter, our business developed favourably in the Middle East and Africa
where the measures initiated late last year, such as investments in customer
service and consulting resources, have yielded results. In our largest market,
Europe, the net sales remained low, which was the main reason for decreased
Group net sales.
The implementation of our new organisational structure has proceeded as
planned. As of July, we have divided our European business into two regions,
Europe East and Europe West, in order to increase our presence in the emerging
markets of Russia and Eurasia, while allowing us to focus on our large customer
accounts in Western Europe. In addition, Global Services has started its
operations as a new unit. During the spring and early summer, we have
strengthened the composition of our Executive Board with some key appointments.
During the first half of this year, we have invested in sales and service
resources close to customers, as well as in the growth markets. These
initiatives, in line with our stated strategy, impaired the profitability
compared to last year.
Comptel's financial position remained strong in the period under review.”
Business Review for the Second Quarter and the First Half of 2011
In the second quarter, Comptel's net sales decreased by 4.5 per cent from the
previous year and were EUR 20.0 million (21.0). Low revenue in Europe impaired
the Group's net sales. In the first half, net sales decreased 5.6 per cent
compared to the previous year and were EUR 36.8 million (39.0).
In the second quarter, operating profit was EUR 1.2 million (3.8) and the
operating profit margin was 6.0 (18.1). The profitability was decreased partly
by the investments in sales and service organisation. In the first half of the
year, operating profit was EUR 1.0 million (4.0) and the operating profit
margin 2.8 (10.2). Due to restructuring of the European and MEA business units,
Comptel was engaged in statutory cooperation negotiations in Finland during
January - February. As a result of these negotiations, the company made 22
persons redundant. Due to the parallel investments in sales and service
resources close to customers, the total Group headcount is not expected to
decrease. The execution of this process to change the resources involved
subcontracting, which increased the costs during the review period.
Profit before taxes was EUR 0.8 million (3.6). Net loss was EUR 1.5 million
(+2.5). Earnings per share for the period under review were EUR -0.01 negative
(+0.02).
Tax expense for the review period was EUR 2.3 million (1.1), of which EUR 1.0
million were withholding taxes. The cumulative amount of outstanding double
withholding taxes payment is EUR 7.5 million since 2004.
The Group's order backlog was EUR 37.7 million (38.8) at the end of the period.
Maintenance agreements represent EUR 20.4 million (19.8) and other order
backlog EUR 17.3 million (19.0) of the total. Order flow for the new deliveries
increased from the first quarter of the year.

Net sales in Europe decreased partly as a result of the removal from Comptel of
the maintenance of Telenor Norway's old IT systems last year. Low net sales
impaired the profitability of the region. Net sales grew significantly in the
Middle East and Africa, which also improved the profitability of the region. In
Asia-Pacific the profitability strengthened during the first half of the year.
As of 1 July 2011, Comptel is dividing its European operations into two
business areas, Europe East and Europe West. The net sales and operating profit
figures of the new reporting segments for the period 1 January 2010 - 30 June
2011 are presented on a quarterly basis in this quarterly report's table part
note 2. Segment information.
In January - July, Comptel received 10 significant orders (H1 2010: 8): 2
fulfillment, 6 control & charge and 2 covering both of these main solution
areas. As of this year, Comptel is reporting sold projects and licenses with a
value of EUR 500,000 at the minimum, instead of new core licenses which value
exceed EUR 100,000. This reporting of significant orders reflects better the
nature of Comptel's business.

License sales decreased in the second quarter, but remained at the previous
year's level during the review period. The share of the larger system
deliveries and services increased during the second quarter. Maintenance
revenue consists of the maintenance and support of the systems delivered. The
Telenor arrangement mentioned previously mainly explains the lower maintenance
revenue compared to the year 2010.

Mr Juhani Hintikka has acted as the President and CEO of Comptel as of 3
January 2011.
In March, Comptel announced its intention to adjust its operating structure in
order to accelerate the execution of its growth strategy.
As of 1 April, a new unit of Corporate Development became operative. It
combines Strategic Planning, Legal, Investor Relations and Communications,
Marketing, and IT. Mr Simo Sääskilahti, SVP of Products and Solutions, was
appointed as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development.
The European business area is divided as of 1 July 2011 into two regions:
Europe East and Europe West. This move allows Comptel to focus its efforts on
the growth areas especially in Russia and Eurasia, while remaining actively
involved in its large customer accounts in Western Europe. Mr Timo Koistinen,
SVP for region Europe, was appointed as Senior Vice President for the region
Europe East. Mr Mauro Carobene was appointed as Senior Vice President for the
region Europe West and he joined Comptel as of 28 April 2011. Mr Carobene
joined Comptel from Nokia Siemens Networks where he most recently was
responsible for the OSS Consulting and Systems Integration business globally.
Comptel has established a new unit called Global Services to develop services
business and manage service products. Mr Kari Onniselkä was appointed as Senior
Vice President for Global Services as of 1 July 2011. He joined Comptel from
Talent Partners, a leader in Finnish consulting and training market, where he
was Managing Director.
Mr Antti Koskela was appointed as Senior Vice President for Products and
Solutions as of 1 July 2011. He joined Comptel from Nokia Siemens Networks
where, most recently he held the position of Head of the Communication &
Entertainment Solutions Business Line.
Mr Veqar Islam was appointed as Senior Vice President for the business area
Middle East and Africa as of 1 August 2011. He will join Comptel from Nokia
Siemens Networks where he most recently has been heading the Sub Region Middle
East - East.
As of 1 July 2011, Comptel Group has the following five reportable business
segments: Europe East, Europe West, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa,
Americas.
Following the changes in the operating structure and the key appointments, the
members of Comptel Executive Board are CEO Juhani Hintikka, the business area
leaders Mr Timo Koistinen (Europe East), Mr Mauro Carobene (Europe West), Mr
Mika Korpinen (Asia-Pacific), Mr Veqar Islam (Middle East and Africa) and Mr
Diego Becker (Americas), Mr Antti Koskela responsible for Products and
Solutions, Mr Kari Onniselkä responsible for Global Services, Mr Gareth Senior
(CTO), Mr Mikko Hytönen (CFO), Ms Niina Pesonen (HR), and Mr Simo Sääskilahti
(Corporate Development and Deputy CEO).
Near-term Risks and Uncertainties
Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in
the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends
taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and
resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address
customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly
undermine the growth of Comptel's business and its profitability.
Characteristics for Comptel's field of industry are significant quarterly
variations of net sales and profit, which are related to customers' purchasing
behaviour and the timing of major single deals.
Comptel is implementing a customer and partner intimate business model which
requires getting competent resources closer to key customers and partners in
certain growth markets.
Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different
currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the
company's reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling and
Norwegian Krone affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit.
The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending
with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. Comptel is striving to change the
treatment of its withholding taxation for those countries where the issue is
still pending. Resolving the matter between states, however, includes factors
beyond the Company's control.
The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in
Comptel's annual report 2010.
Outlook
Comptel net sales are estimated to grow moderately in 2011. During this year,
the company is investing in the development of its sales and service channels,
and as a result the operating profit is estimated to remain at the previous
year's level.

- Income tax expense
Tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period
was EUR 2,275 thousand (EUR 1,096 thousand 2010).
In 2006, Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations refused to accept
the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004 and 2005.
The Ministry of Finance has come to an agreement with Greece and Romania.
Relating to these countries, Comptel has booked EUR 595 thousand tax
receivables for taxes withheld in 2004 -2008. The refund process pertaining to
these countries is still pending with the relevant tax authorities. Comptel is
pursuing the negotiations with the Ministry of Finance and other countries that
have withheld tax at source to avoid double taxation.
According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel
Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 921 thousand
in January - June (EUR 844 thousand).
