Growth in the Messaging business unit was strong. The unit's net sales rose 19% in 2007, and in the growing Middle East and Africa market much more strongly. Operating profit increased to 26% of net sales. Net sales of the Charging business unit declined 20% in 2007. Factors contributing to this were a poor first quarter and the continuing weakening of the US dollar during the year. The operating result for the year was 5% of net sales. Particularly encouraging during the past year was the strong growth in service and maintenance sales, from EUR 9.8 million to EUR 15.1 million. The cash flow from operations in the final quarter was EUR 8.1 million, and for the whole year was EUR 2.9 million. Payment was received in particular for major Charging projects. In the Messaging business, the investments made in the IP-based NGM platform increased the unit's net sales during 2007 and laid a foundation for strong profitability. We will continue to put our efforts into developing NGM, into customer support, especially in growing markets, and into sales through the global partner channel. During 2008 the main focus for investments is in developing the IP-based Convergent Charging product and opening up new market areas. These steps are expected to significantly boost growth and profitability in the Charging business in the coming years.” Unless otherwise stated, all figures presented below are for the review period 1-12/2007 and the figures for comparison are for the corresponding period 1-12/2006.

CURRENT AUTHORISATIONS At the end of the year Tecnomen's Board of Directors had the following current authorisations given by the Annual General Meeting on 14 March 2007: Authorisation to decide on acquiring a maximum of 5,800,000 of the Company's own shares. Own shares may be acquired with unrestricted shareholders' equity at the market price of the shares 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. Authorisation to decide on issuing and/or conveying a maximum of 17,800,000 new shares and/or the Company's own shares either against payment or for free. The new shares may be issued and the Company's own shares may be conveyed to the Company's shareholders in proportion to their current shareholdings in the Company or waiving the shareholder's pre-emption right through a directed share issue, if the Company has weighty financial grounds for doing so. Such grounds could be the development of the capital structure of the Company, carrying out corporate acquisitions or other business arrangements to develop the business of the Company, financing capital expenditure or using the shares as part of the Company's incentive schemes in the extent and manner decided by the Board of Directors. Authorisation 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. Authorisation to grant special rights by giving, against payment, new Company shares or the Company's own shares held by the Company. STOCK OPTION SCHEMES The company currently has a 2002 stock option scheme and a 2006 stock option scheme. In the 2002 stock option scheme, the 2002B, 2002C and 2002D stock options were current. The subscription period for the 2002B stock option was 1 April 2004 - 30 April 2007, for the 2002C stock option 1 April 2005 - 30 April 2007 and for the 2002D stock option 1 April 2006 - 30 April 2008. During the review period shares were subscribed with the 2002C and 2002D stock options. The share subscription price for stock option 2002C is EUR 0.24 and for stock option 2002D EUR 1.11. The amount of the capital repayment per share (EUR 0.10) has been deducted from the subscription prices. A total of 66,500 new shares were subscribed with the 2202C stock options and 180,000 new shares with the 2002D stock options. The payments received for share subscriptions were recorded in their entirety in the invested non-restricted equity reserve. 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.

Altogether 2,713,000 stock options remain on 31 December 2007 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 4.38% of the Company's shares and the votes carried by the shares after any increase in share capital. On 31 December 2007 the Company still held 1,087,000 of all the current stock options. The issued stock options had a maximum diluting effect on 31 December 2007 of 2.67%. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Group's organisation as from 1 October 2006 comprises the Messaging and Charging business units and support functions. Based on this organisation, as from the beginning of this year the primary segments in Tecnomen Group's financial reporting, in accordance with IFRS, are the Messaging and Charging product lines. This is because these are two clearly distinct businesses and they are also being monitored in the company's internal financial reporting as separate business units as from the beginning of this year. RISK MANAGEMENT AND UNCERTAIN FACTORS The greatest risks in Tecnomen's operations are related to major customer and partner relationships, to agreements made with these, and to the correct timing of its product development. Tecnomen's largest customers are much bigger businesses than the company itself and the five largest customers account for more than half of net sales. The relationship between the company and its major customers is one of interdependence, which poses a potential risk but also offers significant new business opportunities. Certain commitments are associated with the project and maintenance agreements made by the company, and unforeseen costs may arise in the future from these agreements. The company aims to limit these liabilities with limitation of liability clauses in customer contracts. In addition the company has a current global liability insurance to cover any liabilities that may materialise in connection with customer projects. Project deliveries result in large accounts receivable. The payment record of customers and the situation concerning receivables are actively monitored and credit rating checks are made on new customers before confirming an offer. Changes in exchange rates create risks especially in sales activities. A significant part of the company's net sales is in US dollars. The company hedges its currency denominated net position for a maximum period of 12 months, using currency forward contracts and currency options. Liquid funds are invested, avoiding credit and liquidity risks, in money-market deposits and short-term interest funds with a good credit rating. Carrying out projects creates risks. They are contained for example in projects that require new product development, where creating new product features may prove more difficult than anticipated. Another problem with project sales arises from variations in net sales and profit during the different quarters of the year. Forecasting these variations is often difficult. Tecnomen operates in a rapidly changing sector. When making R&D decisions there is the risk that the choice made may not bring the expected returns. Tecnomen's risks and uncertainties in the near future relate to major projects that are under negotiation and to their timing. EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD Tecnomen has decided to examine the option of liquidizing its assests from the real estate owned by the company, and has given Catella Corporate Finance Oy the task of exploring the possibility of selling the Tecnomen headquarters property in Espoo. If the real estate is sold, Tecnomen will continue functioning on the premises as a tenant. An investigation into the possibility of selling the real estate owned by Tecnomen in Shannon, Ireland will also be made. Tecnomen expects to book a profit by selling the real estate in Espoo. It is not certain that the sale will take place. If it does, it is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2008. PROSPECTS The overall market for Messaging and Charging in 2008 is expected to remain unchanged from the previous year. The market for conventiona proprietary systems is declining but for IP-based solutions the market is growing. Net sales in 2008 are expected to be similar to those in 2007. To safeguard its growth potential in the coming years and, through this, better profits, Tecnomen is putting much effort in 2008 into the new convergent charging products and into new markets of its Charging business. Because of these major efforts, it is estimated that the 2008 operating profit will be smaller than the 2007 figure. Variations between quarterly figures are expected to be considerable. PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS Tecnomen's Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 12 March 2008 that a dividend of EUR 0.07 per share be paid for the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2007. The dividend will be paid to shareholders who are registered on the record date of 17 March 2008 in the company's shareholder register maintained by the Finnish Central Securities Depository Ltd. The Board proposes to the AGM that the dividend is paid on 26 March 2008. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Tecnomen is holding a conference to announce its fiscal year 2007 results at 10.00 am on 6 February 2008 in the Tapiola conference room at the Scandic Hotel Simonkenttä, Helsinki.
