President & CEO Arto Metsänen:                                                  

2009 was very difficult for Glaston due to the economic recession. Demand for   
glass processing machines was at an exceptionally low level and net sales       
declined sharply.                                                               

The emphasis of machines was on sales of single machines. Demand for more       
extensive deliveries and solar energy investments was weak and projects were    
postponed to a later date. In a difficult market situation, the Services segment
performed relatively well, however.                                             

During 2009 efficiency measures initiated in late 2008 were continued. In       
addition to these an extensive adjustment programme was initiated in the final  
quarter of 2009 and the employee negotiations were completed by the end of      
December. We will adjust our production capacity, optimise our product range and
simplify the structure of our sales organisation. The agreed measures will cut  
Glaston's workforce at most by around 400 employees.                            

Thanks to the efficiency measures performed, we begin 2010 on a better          
foundation. Our current production structure provides us with a good starting   
point. We are strengthening our production in China and are investing in        
developing both technical and sourcing expertise. In the early part of the 2010,
the emphasis will be on completing the efficiency improvement programme.        


New segment information                                                         
On 22 April 2009, Glaston announced that it was changing its organisation, and  
the reportable segments are now Machines, Services and Software Solutions.      

The Pre-processing and Heat Treatment business areas have been combined to form 
the Machines segment. At the same time, maintenance and service business was    
separated from machine operations into its own Services segment.                

The Machines segment comprises tempering, bending and laminating machines sold  
under the Tamglass and Uniglass brands, glass pre-processing machines sold under
the Bavelloni brand, and tool manufacturing. The Services segment consists of   
glass processing machine maintenance and service activity, sales of spare parts 
and tools, and the operation of the glass processing factory in Akaa, Finland,  
as a service activity on behalf of a customer. The Software Solutions segment   
includes enterprise resource planning systems for the glass industry and sold   
under the Albat+Wirsam brand.                                                   

The geographical areas reported quarterly are, EMEAI (Europe, Middle East,      
Africa, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), Asia and America.                      

Markets                                                                         
In 2009 the economic recession strongly influenced demand for glass processing  
machines and the market situation was extremely difficult throughout the year.  
Glaston's markets in different countries developed unevenly during the year. As 
the European, Middle Eastern and North American weakened further, positive      
development was perceptible in the South American and Chinese.                  

Machines                                                                        
Despite a weakening of demand, the Machines segment maintained its market       
position in 2009. Owing to the challenging market situation, price competition  
intensified during the year, particularly with respect to Asian competitors.    

Demand for glass processing machines weakened significantly in all market areas,
except for South America, where demand remained high throughout the year. In    
Central Europe, demand in the German market stood out positively from the rest  
of the EMEAI area. At the end of 2009, a gradual recovery of the market was also
evident in the Asian and Australian markets. Particularly in the Chinese market,
recovery of the architectural glass segment was accelerated by local stimulus   
measures initiated during the year.                                             

Demand for solar energy glass solutions weakened as customers postponed         
decision-making on projects due to economic uncertainty and financial market    
instability. Demand for comprehensive (One-Stop-Partner) deliveries was very low
and the emphasis on machine sales was on single machines.                       

In 2009 efficiency improvement played a key role in developing the operations of
the Machines segment. An efficiency programme initiated in 2008 continued and,  
additionally, new cost-cutting programmes were launched, which included         
significant personnel reductions in Finland and Italy. Moreover, the product    
portfolio was rationalised and machine production location arrangements effected
by transferring the focus of production and sourcing more towards China. The    
measures were more extensive on the pre-processing technology.                  

Orders received in the Machines segment totalled EUR 88.5 (144.4) million in    
2009. January-December net sales totalled EUR 82.2 (168.5) million.             



Services                                                                        
In 2009 the Services segment's strongest market areas were Germany, Brazil,     
Australia and New Zealand. In the EMEAI area demand for maintenance services and
upgrades slowed down except for Germany and the UK. The Middle East was quieter 
than expected. Demand in the APAC area declined, except for Australia and New   
Zealand. In the United States demand was subdued.                               

The economic recession negatively impacted customer demand, particularly in the 
solar energy, architectural and automotive glass segments. Lower utilisation    
rates of glass processing machines reduced the need for spare parts. The        
outsourcing trend initiated in previous years came to a halt.                   

Although market demand weakened, even so the volume of the Services segment's   
service contracts and maintenance work grew and demand for training services    
clearly increased. Demand for spare parts fell significantly, however. There was
greater emphasis on machine modernisations as glass processors focused on       
machine upgrades instead of new investments. The modernisations were related to 
energy-saving, automation systems and technology upgrades. At the end of the    
year, there was also increased demand for modernisation related to boosting     
performance and improving the quality of architectural glass.                   

In 2009 the significance of geographical areas and operating close to the       
customer was highlighted. Orivesi upgrade production was transferred to Tampere 
and the integration of Uniglass machine maintenance into the rest of the service
organisation was completed. A servicing point for Bavelloni machines was        
established in the Middle East and a new distribution centre set up in          
Cinnaminson, USA.                                                               

Orders received in the Services segment totalled EUR 42.8 (72.3) million in     
2009. January-December net sales totalled EUR 48.1 (76.0) million.              


Software Solutions                                                              
In 2009 Software Solutions improved its market position in                      
Europe due to strong demand from medium-sized companies. Although demand among  
international operators generally declined, medium-sized companies invested     
strongly in renewing their production processes towards a higher degree of      
automation, greater flexibility and shorter delivery times.                     
The Software Solutions segment did not lose market share, even though the market
was at a standstill or weakened outside Europe. A factor driving demand in 2009 
was the segment's ability to deliver highly integrated software solutions that  
facilitate increased automation of glass processing.                            

The Software Solutions segment succeeded in adjusting operations to correspond  
with shrinking markets by strengthening product management and implementation   
structures and processes as well as by prioritising customer orientation.       
In 2009 a more prominent role was given to CAD and line control systems in the  
product range. The Software Solutions segment developed customised product      
applications for the Asian market. New-generation software systems developed for
the window industry facilitated better integration of work flow. The Panorama   
and AWFactory products launched in 2008 and intended to manage integrated line  
control systems were delivered to selected customers as pilot projects during   
the year.                                                                       

Orders received in the Software Solutions segment totalled EUR 10.6 (13.9)      
million in 2009. January-December net sales totalled EUR 23.9 (28.2) million.   

Orders received                                                                 
Glaston's orders received during the financial year totalled EUR 141.9 (230.5)  
million. Of orders received, the Machines segment accounted for 62.4%, Services 
30.2% and Software Solutions 7.4%.                                              

Orders received during the final quarter totalled EUR 41.6 (44.6) million.      

Order book                                                                      
Glaston's order book on 31 December 2009 was EUR 45.5 (62.5) million. Of the    
order book, the Machines segment accounted for EUR 39.8 (47.3) million, Services
EUR 1.6 (11.6) million and Software Solutions EUR 4.1 (3.5) million.

Net sales and operating profit                                                  
Glaston's January-December net sales totalled EUR 151.8 (270.4) million. Of the 
net sales, the Machines segment accounted for EUR 82.2 (168.5) million, Services
EUR 48.1 (76.0) million and Software Solutions EUR 23.9 (28.2) million.         

Final quarter net sales totalled EUR 35.8 (68.9) million. Of the final quarter  
net sales, the Machines segment accounted for EUR 19.1 (43.9) million, Services 
EUR 11.0 (19.2) million and Software Solutions EUR 6.3 (6.6) million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was a loss of EUR 33.6 (6.2
profit) million, i.e. -22.2 (+2.3)% of net sales. The operating result for the  
final quarter, excluding non-recurring items, was a loss of EUR 11.0 (0.3 loss) 
million.                                                                        


The operating result was a loss of EUR 55.3 (6.1 loss) million. Non-recurring   
items of EUR - 21.6 (-12.3) million were recognised for the full year.          
Non-recurring items totalling EUR -17.3 (-12.3) million were recognised in the  
final quarter. The non-recurring items of 2009 consist mainly of impairment     
losses recognized of goodwill and intangible assets (EUR 10.9 million), expenses
arising from merging business areas (EUR 3.3 million) and restructuring programs
initiated during the latter part of 2009 (EUR 7.6 million). In addition, the    
non-recurring items include reversals of provisions made in 2008 (EUR 1.1       
million).                                                                       


The Machines segment's operating result in January-December was a loss of       
EUR 38.8 (4.4 loss) million and in the final quarter a loss of EUR 20.4 (9.1    
loss) million. The 2009 operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was a  
loss of 22.9 (5.1 profit) million and in the final quarter a loss of EUR -8.3   
(0.4 profit) million.                                                           

The strong decline in sales weakened the profitability of the Machines segment, 
and the substantial cost-cutting and adjustment measures were insufficient to   
balance sharply falling net sales. In addition, intense price competition       
affected market prices, weakening the profitability of both the Machines segment
and the entire sector.                                                          

The Services segment's operating result in January-December was a loss of       
EUR 4.7 (2.7 profit) million and in the final quarter a loss of EUR 2.3 (1.3    
loss) million. The segment's operating result, excluding non-recurring items,   
was a loss of EUR 1.9 (4.9 profit) million for the full year and a profit of    
EUR 0.2 (1.0 profit) million in the final quarter. The Services result was      
heavily burdened by Tamglass Glass Processing's operating loss of EUR 4.6 (6.3  
loss) million.                                                                  

The Software Solutions segment's operating result in January-December was a loss
of EUR 1.3 (3.2 profit) million and in the final quarter a loss of EUR 1.6 (0.4 
loss) million. The segment's operating result, excluding non-recurring items,   
was a profit of EUR 0.4 (3.7 profit) million for the full year and a loss of    
EUR 0.2 (0.1 profit) million in the final quarter.

The result for the financial year was a loss of EUR 53.6 (9.2 loss) million.    
Return on capital employed (ROCE) was -32.1 (-2.3)%. Earnings per share were EUR
-0.68 (-0.12) Fourth-quarter earnings per share were EUR -0.34 (-0.16).         


Finance and cash flow                                                           

The Group's financial position remained reasonable. The Group's financial       
position was affected mainly by changes in working capital and cash flow from   
operating activities as well as by a convertible bond (EUR 23.8 million) issued 
in June.                                                                        
Cash flow from operating activities was negative EUR -1.2 million, of which     
change in net working capital was EUR +28.6 million. Cash flow from investments 
was EUR -7.5 (-13.4) million. Cash flow from financing activities in            
January-December was EUR +12.3 (+37.8) million, including dividends paid in the 
review period of EUR 3.9 (7.8) million.                                         
                                                                                
The equity ratio on 31 December 2009 was 33.1 (45.8)%. 
                                                               
The Group's liquid funds on 31 December 2009 totalled EUR                       
15.6 (11.5) million. Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR 63.7 (57.9) million 
and net gearing was 91.9 (46.8)%. In the liquidity management, Glaston mainly   
utilises a committed revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility   
was renewed in November 2009. At the end of 2009, the size of the new revolving 
credit facility was EUR 74 million, of which EUR 42 million was in use at the   
end of 2009. The revolving credit facility includes covenant terms and other    
commitments which are linked to consolidated key figures. If the covenant terms 
are not fulfilled, negotiations with the lenders will be initiated. These       
negotiations may lead to notice of termination of financial agreements. The     
terms of agreement also include restrictions on the payment of dividends. Based 
on the restrictions dividend distribution is conditional on Glaston's net       
gearing such that net gearing before and after a possible dividend payment does 
not exceed 80%.                                                                 
                                                                                

Efficiency programme                                                            
To improve profitability and adjust operations to the market situation,         
efficiency measures were initiated throughout the Group in September 2008, and  
these measures were continued during 2009.                                      

In addition to the efficiency measures under way, Glaston announced in April    
that it would change its structure to improve profitability. The Pre-processing 
and Heat Treatment business areas were combined to form the Machines segment.   
The Machines segment's new global organisation was appointed and was active by  
June 2009. The operational restructuring proceeded in the autumn, focusing on   
completing integration and further improving profitability, developing the      
global production structure, enhancing sourcing activity and streamlining the   
product portfolio.                                                              

Operational efficiency was enhanced by adjusting production, and the production 
unit located in Mexico was closed in March. The factory located in Cinnaminson, 
USA was closed in December 2009 and production of tempering machines            
manufactured in the USA was transferred to Finland and China.                   

In autumn 2009, Glaston initiated a programme to develop spare parts and tool   
operations as well as logistics, and inventories in Mexico and Greensboro were  
transferred to Cinnaminson, USA. In the Services business, cost-cutting and     
operational adjustment measures continued. A unit manufacturing upgrade products
in Orivesi, Finland was closed.                                                 

The Group had substantial temporary lay-off programmes under way in Finland and 
Italy during the year. Working time was shortened in Germany and the USA.       

In October Glaston announced an extensive adjustment programme to reorganise its
operations. The employee negotiations related to the programme were completed   
during December and included, among other things, production capacity adjustment
measures, product range optimisation, and simplification of the sales structure.
The need to cut jobs amounts at most to around 400. The programme's annual      
additional savings are around EUR 12 million and they will be implemented mainly
in the first half of 2010. The non-recurring costs arising from the planned     
measures amount to EUR 7.6 million and they have been recognised in the final   
quarter of 2009. Most of these non-recurring costs will impact cash flow in     
2010.                                                                           

The planned cost savings from the efficiency measures total around EUR 30       
million. Related non-recurring costs totalled EUR 11.4 million for 2009, of     
which  EUR 7.6 million were related to the efficiency programme initiated in    
autumn, and the rest to the efficiency programme launched in spring 2009, which 
was realized at only EUR 3.8 million instead of the previously estimated amount.


Research and product development                                                
Research and product development expenditure in 2009 totalled EUR 13.6 (14.4)   
million, representing 8.9 (5.3)% of net sales.                                  

Due to the difficult market situation and intensified competition, product      
development focused during the year on developing features of machines already  
on the market to allow the addition of new functionalities to machines delivered
earlier. Moreover, the localisation of products to correspond with the          
requirements of the Chinese market continued.                                   

During the year, Glaston launched a number of new heat treatment technology     
machines, such as the Tamglass ProE MAGNUM+ 3396 and 33120 machines, the        
Tamglass Syncrobend and the Tamglass Compact. The Tamglass ProE MAGNUM+ is the  
market's largest flat tempering machine and the Tamglass Compact is a basic flat
tempering machine for smaller glass sizes. The Tamglass Syncrobend is a         
high-capacity machine intended for the tempering of double-curved glass. The    
machine can handle rapid changes of glass type and variable series sizes,       
offering good capability for flexible manufacturing of many types of glass. In  
addition to these, the cutting product range was supplemented by a machine for  
cutting laminated and coated glass. The CNC product range was also expanded with
a new type of machine.                                                          

The product development priority in the Software Solutions segment was the      
further development of products and, among other things, the refining of product
variations for the Asian market.                                                

During 2009 Glaston's product development operating practices were enhanced.    
Product development of the former Pre-processing and Heat Treatment business    
areas was centralised into the Machines segment. In addition, the Uniglass      
product portfolio was also incorporated into the product development of the     
Machines segment. As a consequence of the closure of the factory in the USA,    
production and development of the CHF product range was transferred to China and
Finland.                                                                        

Capital expenditure, depreciation and amortisation                              
Glaston's gross capital                                                         
expenditure totalled EUR 8.5 (18.4) million. The most significant capital       
expenditure during 2009 was related to the ERP project as well as to a joint    
venture founded in connection with the sale of the glass processing operations. 

During the financial year, depreciation and amortisation of intangible assets   
and property, plant and equipment totalled EUR 8.4 (8.7) million. In addition,  
impairment losses totalled EUR 12.5 (2.6) million, of which goodwill accounted  
for EUR 7.8 million.                                                            

Group structural changes                                                        
As part of an efficiency programme initiated in 2008, operations of Uniglass    
Engineering Oy were transferred to Glaston's factory in Tampere, Finland.       
Operations at the Uniglass factory in Ylöjärvi, Finland, ended on 31 March 2009.

Glaston's subsidiary Tamglass Glass Processing Ltd. sold its insulation and     
architectural glass processing operations to INTERPANE Glass Oy in March.       
INTERPANE Glass Oy is a Glaston joint venture.  As of 1 April 2009, Glaston's   
glass processing operations consist only of solar reflector production at Akaa, 
Finland, as a service activity on behalf of a customer.                         

The Pre-processing and Heat Treatment business areas were merged in April to    
form the Machines segment. To boost sales of tools and ensure synergy benefits  
in spare parts sales and deliveries, tool sales were transferred during the     
third quarter from the Machines segment to the Services segment, with           
manufacturing and development of tools remaining in the Machines segment.       

Glaston's two companies in Mexico were merged in the second quarter, Glaston UK 
Ltd and Albat+Wirsam Software Ltd in the UK at the beginning of the third       
quarter, and Albat+ Wirsam Software AG and Cantor Software GmbH in Germany at   
the beginning of September. In Italy, Glaston Italy S.p.A. and DiaPol S.r.l.    
were merged in December.                                                        


Changes in the company's management                                             
Henrik Reims was appointed Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing as of      
1 April 2009, Topi Saarenhovi Senior Vice President of the Machines segment as  
of 22 April 2009 and Manne Tiensuu Glaston's Senior Vice President, Human       
Resources as of 15 May 2009. Arto Metsänen M.Sc.(Eng.) was appointed on 5 August
2009 as the company's new President & CEO, and he started in his position on    
1 September 2009.                                                               


Personnel                                                                       
Glaston initiated negotiations to adjust human resources significantly to the   
weakened market situation in late 2008. Substantial temporary lay-offs in       
Finland and Italy were initiated in late 2008 and in early 2009 and continued   
during the year. It was decided in March to temporarily lay off all Glaston     
Finland Oy personnel, excluding maintenance staff, a total around 200 people,   
for 10-18 weeks, and the lay-offs continued in autumn 2009. In Italy 25% of     
personnel, i.e. 100 people, have been regularly temporarily laid off since      
December 2008. A shortening of working time was agreed in Germany and the USA.  

In October 2009, Glaston initiated an extensive adjustment programme covering   
the entire Glaston personnel worldwide. The most substantial adjustment measures
were directed at Italy, where it was agreed to cut around 140 jobs, and in      
Finland, where 50 employees were made redundant in December 2009 following      
negotiations.                                                                   

On 31 December 2009, Glaston had a total of 1,160 (1,541) employees. Of the     
Group's employees, 20% worked in Finland and 53% elsewhere in the EMEAI area,   
15% in Asia and 13% in the Americas. The average number of employees was 1,344  
(1,519).                                                                        

Environment                                                                     
Glaston aims to be as environmentally friendly as possible in its               
operations. Glaston is continually developing its processes in order to take the
principles of sustainable development better into account. As a rule, Glaston's 
own production operations do not, however, load the environment significantly.  
In product development, paying due attention to energy efficiency occupies a key
role and the goal is to make glass processing machines as energy-efficient as   
possible.                                                                       

The glass processing machines manufactured by Glaston have long lifetimes, and  
the entire life cycle of a machine is taken into account in its design. Glass   
processing machines are developed and manufactured to withstand constant use at 
high production capacities. The modernisation of a machine with new technical   
features will extend the life of the machine and will, for example, reduce      
energy consumption in glass processing.                                         

Glaston pays special attention to the recyclability of machine materials,       
particularly with respect to components susceptible to wear and tear and thus   
often changed.                                                                  

Environmental problems and discussion of climate change have increased demand   
for products that have a positive impact on the environment. Besides other types
of glass, the machines manufactured by Glaston are also used to produce energy  
glass, which reduces buildings' energy consumption, as well as glass used in    
applications that produce solar energy.                                         


Risks and risk management                                                       
Glaston operates globally and changes in the development of the world economy   
directly affect the Group's operations and risks. The Board of Directors of     
Glaston Corporation is responsible for the Group's risk management policy and   
supervises its implementation. The President and CEO and the Executive          
Management Group, reporting to the Board of Directors, are responsible for risk 
management operating practices, implementation and monitoring.                  

The development of comprehensive risk management is a Group-level responsibility
in accordance with risk management operating instructions. The business areas   
and units are responsible for recognising, managing and reporting risks         
associated with their own operations. The Group Treasury handles centrally the  
management of the Group's financial risks in accordance with a treasury policy  
approved by and within the restrictions issued by the Board of Directors.       
A strategic risk for Glaston is above all the possible arrival on the market of 
a competing machine technology, which would require Glaston to make considerable
product development investments. Moreover, loss of the Group's market shares,   
particularly in the most strongly emerging markets (Asia, the Middle East) is a 
strategic risk. Implementing the Group's strategy may require company           
acquisitions, the possible failure of which would affect financial performance  
and Glaston's risk profile.  
                                                   
Glaston's most significant operational risks include management of large        
customer projects, the availability and price development of components,        
management of the subcontractor network, and the availability and permanence of 
personnel. Glaston is developing its information systems and despite careful    
planning, temporary disruptions to operations might be associated with the      
introduction stages.      
                                                      
Financial risks connected with operations, such as foreign exchange, interest   
rate, financing and counterparty risks and, particularly in the last year,      
credit loss and liquidity risks have grown. The nature of international business
means that the Group has risks arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange    
rates. Changes in interest rates represent an interest rate risk. Credit and    
counterparty risk arises from risk associated with the payment period granted to
customers. The liquidity risk comes from the fact that the Group's negotiated   
credit facilities are insufficient to cover the financial needs of the business.
Financial risks and their management are explained in more detail in the        
consolidated financial statements. 
                                             
In protecting against possible accident risk, worldwide insurance programmes    
covering all companies are used, in addition to preventive risk management      
measures. The coverage of these programmes is regularly reviewed as part of     
overall risk management.                                                        

Shares and share prices                                                         
Glaston Corporation's paid and registered share capital                         
on 31 December 2009 was EUR 12.7 million and the number of issued shares        
totalled 79,350,000. The company has one series of share. At the end of the     
financial year, the company held 838,582 of the company's own shares (treasury  
shares), corresponding to 1% of the total number of issued shares and votes. The
counter book value of treasury shares is EUR 134,173.                           
During 2009, some 28,789 of the company's own shares, transferred in 2008 to key
individuals on the basis of the share-based incentive scheme, were returned to  
Glaston Corporation, as the terms for the performance period of the incentive   
scheme were not fulfilled. 
                                                     
Every share that the company does not hold itself entitles its owner to one vote
at the Annual General Meeting. The share has no nominal value. Each share has a 
counter book value of EUR 0.16.                                                 
During 2009, a total of 7,032,751 of the company's shares were traded,          
representing around 9% of the average number of shares. The lowest price paid   
for a share was EUR 0.92 and the highest price EUR 1.44. The volume-weighted    
average price of shares traded during the financial year was EUR 1.18. The      
closing price on 31 December 2009 was EUR 1.08.                                 
On 31 December 2009, the market capitalisation of the company's shares, treasury
shares excluded, was EUR 84.8 (71.5) million. The equity per share attributable 
to the owners of the parent was EUR 0.88 (1.58).                                

Share-based incentive schemes                                                   
On 9 May 2007, Glaston's Board of Directors                                     
decided on a share-based incentive scheme for the Glaston Group's key           
individuals. The scheme has three one-year performance periods, namely the      
calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The scheme will be settled in 2008, 2009 and
2010 in shares and cash. The proportion to be paid in cash is intended to cover 
taxes and tax-related costs arising to key personnel from the bonus. Shares     
cannot be disposed of within two years of the bonus being awarded.              
The bonus from the incentive scheme for the 2009 performance period was based on
growth of the Group's operating profit and a reduction of net working capital.  
If the targets set for the performance criteria of the incentive scheme for the 
years 2007-2009 are achieved in full, a maximum of 652,500 shares, namely       
217,000 shares per year, will be given as bonus from the scheme, and cash paid  
will be at most the amount needed for the taxes and tax-related costs arising to
key individuals from the bonus at the time the bonus is paid.                   

Due to Glaston's weak financial performance, Glaston's Board of Directors       
decided that no return on the incentive scheme will be paid for the 2009 reward 
period.                                                                         

In addition to the above mentioned share-based payment plan, the CEO of Glaston 
Corporation has a separate share-based payment incentive plan. According to the 
plan, the CEO will receive 50,000 shares in Glaston Corporation one year after  
the date when his employment in Glaston began.                                  

Decisions of the Annual General Meeting                                         
The Annual General Meeting of Glaston                                   
Corporation was held in Helsinki on 17 March 2009. The Annual General Meeting   
approved the financial statements and consolidated financial statements for 2008
and released the President and CEO and the Board of Directors from liability for
the financial period 1 January-31 December 2008.                                

The Annual General Meeting approved a dividend of EUR 0.05 per share.           

The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the following will continue on the    
Board of Directors for a year-long term of office: Claus von Bonsdorff, Klaus   
Cawén, Jan Lång, Carl-Johan Rosenbröijer, Christer Sumelius and Andreas         
Tallberg. The Annual General Meeting decided to maintain the Chairman of the    
Board's annual remuneration at EUR 40,000 and the Deputy Chairman's annual      
remuneration at EUR 30,000. It was also decided to maintain the remuneration of 
the other Members of the Board at EUR 20,000 euros per year. The Board of       
Directors elected Andreas Tallberg to continue as the Chairman of the Board and 
Christer Sumelius to continue as the Deputy Chairman of the Board.              

The Annual General Meeting re-elected as auditor the authorised public          
accounting firm KPMG Oy Ab, with the responsible auditor being Sixten Nyman APA.
Annual General Meeting approved amendments to the Articles 2, 11 and 12 of the  
Articles of Association 2.                                                      

Authorisations given by the Annual General Meeting                              
The 2009 Annual General Meeting of Glaston Corporation authorised the Board of  
Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares up to a      
maximum of 7,000,000 shares. The authorisation is valid for 18 months from the  
decision of the Annual General Meeting.                                         

The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board of Directors to decide on  
the issue of new shares and/or the conveyance of the own shares held by the     
company such that, in exemption to the pre-emptive subscription right of        
shareholders, a maximum of 7,800,000 new shares can be issued and a maximum of  
7,800,000 own shares held by the company can be conveyed, but such that the     
total number of shares to be issued and/or conveyed does not exceed 7,800,000.  
The latter authorisation is not, however, valid on the date of these financial  
statements.                                                                     

Decisions of the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders                         

An Extraordinary meeting of Shareholders of Glaston Corporation, held on 8 June
2009, authorised the 
Board of Directors to decide of the issuing of shares and the issuing of special
rights granting entitlement to shares, referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of   
the Companies Act.                                                              
The number of shares to be issued under the authorisation may not exceed a total
of 25,000,000 shares. If all shares that may be issued under the authorisation  
were issued, the number of shares issued would correspond to approximately 24%  
of all the shares in the company.                                               

The Board of Directors shall decide on the conditions of the issuing of shares  
and of special rights granting entitlement to shares. The authorisation concerns
both the issuing of new shares as well as the conveyance of treasury shares. The
issuing of shares and of special rights granting entitlement to shares may be   
carried out in exception to shareholders' pre-emptive rights.                   

The authorisation is effective until the next Annual General Meeting, however at
the latest until 30 June 2010, and it cancels the authorisation to decide on the
issuing of shares given by the Annual General Meeting on 17 March 2009.         

Convertible bond                                                                
On 16 June 2009, the Board of Directors decided, based on the authorisation     
granted by the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders, to issue a convertible    
bond up to a maximum principal of EUR 30,000,000, divided into negotiable       
promissory notes of nominal value EUR 50,000. The bonds were issued in exception
to the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights to investors selected by   
the Board of Directors. The bond was subscribed to a total of EUR 23,750,000 and
the Board of Directors approved the subscriptions on 17 June 2009. The bonds    
strengthen the company's financial position, optimise the capital structure and 
facilitate investments. The terms and conditions of the convertible bond were   
presented in a stock exchange release dated 16 June 2009. On 28 September 2009 a
total of 475 subscribed promissory notes were accepted for public trading on the
official list of Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Ltd.                                       


Board of Directors' proposal for the distribution of profits                    

The distributable funds of Glaston Corporation, the parent of Glaston Group,
are EUR 47,632,812, of which EUR -4,577,977 represents the net loss for the
financial year. 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend  
be distributed from the result for the year and from retained earnings.         
EUR 47,632,812 would be left in distributable funds.                            

Events after the review period                                                  
Juha Liettyä B.Sc. (Eng.) was appointed as SVP of                               
Glaston's Services segment of 2 January 2010. Liettyä has been employed by the  
company since 1986.                                                             

Uncertainties in the near future                                                
Glaston's uncertainties and risks in the near                                   
future are to a large extent linked to the development of the world economy. A  
significant proportion of the uncertainties are beyond the company management's 
control.                                                                        

Due to the economic recession Glaston's market has decreased. The subdued market
has also led to overcapacity. In addition, difficulties related to customers'   
financing arrangements may limit investment opportunities, in which case orders 
may be postponed and those already confirmed may be cancelled. Customers'       
financial situation also impacts on the collection of receivables and on credit 
losses.                                                                         

Raw material prices have levelled off and subcontracting capacity problems have 
nearly disappeared. Subcontractors' adjustment measures to the prevailing market
situation may influence Glaston's operations.                                   
Glaston recognised an impairment loss on goodwill of EUR 7.8 million in the 2009
result. If the international economic crisis is prolonged and the recovery of   
the sector delayed, it is possible that Glaston's recoverable amounts will,     
despite the savings arising from efficiency measures, be insufficient to cover  
the carrying amounts of assets, particularly goodwill. If this happens, it will 
be necessary to recognise an impairment loss, which when implemented will weaken
the result and equity.                                                          

Outlook                                                                         
A limited and modest recovery in Glaston's market is expected during            
2010. A market recovery was already perceptible at the end of 2009 in Asia,     
particularly in China. In South America demand was good throughout 2009 and this
possible trend is expected to continue. Demand for solar energy projects is also
expected to develop positively. 
                                                
The priorities for operational development in 2010 are improving profitability  
and completing the adjustment measures initiated in 2009. The cornerstones of   
our operations will remain the architectural glass segments and the solar energy
market. We will continue purposefully to strengthen our position in China and   
elsewhere in Asia.                                                              

Due to the efficiency measures performed, Glaston starts 2010 on a better       
foundation. It is expected that 2010 net sales will be at least at the 2009     
level and that the operating result will significantly improve.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                             

The consolidated financial statements of Glaston Group are prepared in          
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including   
International Accounting Standards (IAS) and Interpretations issued by the      
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (SIC and IFRIC).    
International Financial Reporting Standards are standards and their             
interpretations adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation
(EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The Notes to   
the Financial Statements are also in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act 
and Ordinance and the Finnish Companies' Act.                                   

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in         
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim       
Reporting as approved by the European Union. They do not include all the        
information required for full annual financial statements.                      

The accounting principles applied in these condensed consolidated financial     
statements are the same as those applied by Glaston in its consolidated         
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December, 2009, with the   
exception of the following new or revised or amended standards and              
interpretations which have been applied from 1 January, 2009:                   

- IAS 23 (revised) Borrowing Costs                                              
- IFRS 8 Operating Segments                                                     
- Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1            
Presentation of Financial Statements - Puttable Financial Instruments and       
Obligations Arising on Liquidation                                              
- Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement -      
Eligible Hedged Items                                                           
- Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Improving           
Disclosures about Financial Instruments                                         
- Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39: Embedded Derivatives                        

In addition, Glaston applies the annual Improvements to IFRSs issued in May     
2008.                                                                           

Applying IFRS 8 did not have any material effect on the financial information of
Glaston.                                                                        

Applying revised IAS Borrowing Costs changed Glaston's accounting principles    
from 1 January, 2009. From that date on the borrowing costs that are directly   
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying     
asset are capitalized to the acquisition cost of the asset. The capitalization  
applies mainly to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.          

Other new or amended standards or interpretations applicable from 1 January,    
2009 are not material for Glaston Group.                                        

Glaston will apply the following new or revised or amended standards and        
interpretations from 1 January, 2010:                                           

- IFRS 3 (revised) Business Combinations                                        
- Amendments to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.          
- IFRS 2 Share-based Payments - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment          
Transactions                                                                    

In addition, Glaston will apply the annual Improvements to IFRSs issued in April
2009.                                                                           

In accordance with the revised IFRS 3 standard all acquisition-related costs    
arising from the business combinations made after 1 January 2010 will be        
recognized in profit or loss and not capitalized as a part of the purchase      
consideration, as currently is done. In addition, all consideration transferred 
in the business combination will be measured at the acquisition-date fair value,
and liabilities classified as contingent consideration will subsequently be     
measured at fair value with any resulting gain or loss recognized in profit or  
loss. For each business combination it will be possible to choose, whether the  
non-controlling interest will be measured at fair value or as the               
non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.    
This choice will have an effect on the goodwill arising from the business       
combination.                                                                    

In accordance with the revised IAS 27 standard, the effects of the transactions 
made with non-controlling interests will be recognized in equity, if there is no
change in control. These transactions will not result in goodwill or gains or   
losses. If the control is lost, the possible remaining ownership share will be  
measured at fair value and the resulting gain or loss will be recognized in     
profit or loss. Also, in accordance with the revised standard, total            
comprehensive income will be attributed also to non-controlling interest even if
this will result in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.      

The change of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets included in the annual improvements of
IFRSs will change the allocation of goodwill in Glaston. Currently goodwill is  
allocated to reportable segments aggregated from operating segments. According  
to the change in the standard, the unit to which the goodwill can be allocated  
cannot be larger than an operating segment before it is aggregated to be a part 
of a reportable segment.                                                        

Other new or amended standards or interpretations applicable from 1 January,    
2010 are not material for Glaston Group.                                        

Glaston will apply the following new or revised or amended standards and        
interpretations from 1 January, 2011:                                           

- IAS 24 (revised) Related Party Disclosures                                    
- Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of  
Rights Issues                                                                   
- Amendment to IFRIC 14 IAS 19 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement     
- IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments          

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments can have an
effect on Glaston's result, if Glaston's convertible bond is converted to equity
instruments.                                                                    

Other new or amended standards or interpretations applicable from 1 January,    
2011 are not material for Glaston Group.                                        

Glaston will apply the following new or revised or amended standards and        
interpretations from 1 January, 2013:                                           

- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments                                                  


DIVESTMENTS                                                                     

Glaston's subsidiary Tamglass Glass Processing Ltd. sold in March its           
insulated and architectural glass processing operations to INTERPANE Glass Oy.  
INTERPANE Glass Oy began its operations on 1 April, 2009. The divested          
operations had net sales of approximately EUR 14 million in 2008 and 93         
employees at the end of March. The personnel were transferred to INTERPANE Glass
Oy.                                                                             

The transaction was an asset deal, consisting of, among others, tangible assets 
and inventory. The deal was financed mainly through vendor financing given by   
Glaston. Glaston has also invested EUR 2.0 million in the equity of INTERPANE   
Glass Oy. In addition, Glaston is committed to invest additional EUR 0.7 million
in INTERPANE's equity. Also the other party of the transaction is committed to  
make additional investments in INTERPANE's equity.                              

INTERPANE Glass Oy is a company owned jointly by Georg F. Hesselbach through his
company A A A Glass & Design Finland Oy, and a subsidiary of Glaston            
Corporation. The shareholders of INTERPANE Glass Oy have entered into a         
shareholders' agreement which incorporates put and call options enabling the    
shareholders to rearrange their ownership shares in the company in the future.  
                                                                                
INTERPANE Glass Oy is a joint venture of Glaston, and it is consolidated in     
Glaston's consolidated financial statements using the equity method.            
                                                                                

                                                                                
CHANGES IN JOINT VENTURES                                                       

The Chinese company Glaston Tools (Sanhe) Co., Ltd. was consolidated in 2008 as 
a joint venture using the equity method and not as a subsidiary despite of the  
70 per cent ownership of Glaston, because Glaston was not considered to have    
control of the company. From 1 January, 2009, Glaston Tools (Sanhe) Co., Ltd.   
has been consolidated as a subsidiary as Glaston has gained control of the      
company. There have not been changes in the ownership of the company.				       

INTERPANE Glass Oy became a joint venture of Glaston on 31 March, 2009.

A customer of the US subsidiary Glaston USA, Inc. had made a claim of           
approximately USD 22 million due to a sale of a machine in 2004. The arbitration
proceeding initiated by the customer against the US subsidiary Glaston USA, Inc.
was concluded in April. Majority of the customer's claim were denied. The matter
has no material effect on Glaston's 2009 result, because it was included in 2008
result as a non-recurring item. but the compensation paid by Glaston has        
affected Glaston's cash flow.                                                   

The Group recognized a tax refund of approximately EUR 2 million in 2006 after  
having received an affirmative decision according to which the expenses arising 
from the management incentive scheme of the Group are deductible in taxation.   
The tax authorities of the Tax Office for Major Corporations appealed against   
the decision to the Administrative Court of Helsinki. Administrative Court of   
Helsinki decided the case on Glaston's favour in January 2009. The decision is  
final, since no appeal was made.                                                

Glaston Group has international operations and can be a defendant or plaintiff  
in a number of legal proceedings incidental to those operations. The Group does 
not expect the outcome of any unmentioned legal proceedings currently pending,  
either individually or in the aggregate, to have material adverse effect upon   
the Group's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Derivative instruments are used only for hedging purposes. Nominal              
values of derivative instruments do not necessarily correspond with             
the actual cash flows between the counterparties and do not therefore give a    
fair view of the risk position of the Group. The fair values are based on market
valuation on the date of reporting.
