President and CEO Jarmo Niemi:
“The orders deferred from the first quarter were delivered, resulting in the
highest quarterly net sales in the company's history. New orders came in as
anticipated, so the order intake, more than EUR 25 million, was one of the best
ever and the order book strong at the end of June.
The result for the second quarter showed improvement on the corresponding period
in the previous year. Despite the weak first quarter, the result for the whole
six month period was similar to that in the previous year. The result for the
review period was weakened by the decline of the US dollar against the euro and
by an increase of EUR 1 million in the amortization of capitalized development
costs, with a positive contribution of EUR 1 million from financial income and
expenses providing some compensation for these.
The performance of the Messaging business unit continued to be positive. During
the review period the unit's net sales grew 41 %, with even stronger growth in
the expanding Middle East and African markets. Sales through partners increased
on target and the cost savings scheme started towards the end of last year
brought good results. The unit recorded an operating profit of more than 20 % of
net sales.
The Charging business unit had a strong second quarter as expected and was
better than the first quarter. An order intake that was about 50 % greater than
second quarter net sales and the resulting strong order book at the end of June
place the unit in a strong position for the rest of the year. The unit's
operating result in the second quarter was about 20 % of net sales. However,
this was not sufficient to make up for the weak first quarter, so the unit's
operating result for the full review period was a loss.
Unless otherwise stated, all figures presented below are for the review period
1-6/2007 and the figures for comparison are for the corresponding period
1-6/2006.”
SALES AND NET SALES
Tecnomen's net sales in the review period decreased by 8.4 per cent to EUR 31.9
(34.8) million.
EUR 22.9 million of the sales in the review period has been recognised in
accordance with IAS 11 (Construction contracts) and EUR 8.9 million in
accordance with IAS 18 (Revenues).
Net sales by geographical area were: Americas 50.2 per cent (60.9 %), EMEA 40.2
per cent (26.7 %) and APAC 9.5 per cent (12.4 %).
Net sales by product line were: Messaging 56.4 per cent (36.7 %) and Charging
43.6 per cent (63.3 %).
Sales through global partners totalled EUR 10.2 (8.3) million or 32.0 per cent
(23.9 %) of net sales.
Maintenance and service sales totalled EUR 7.1 million (5.3) or 22.4 per cent
(15.1 %) of net sales.
The order book stood at EUR 20.5 (16.0) million at the end of the review period.
Americas accounted for 46.4 per cent of the order book, EMEA for 46.6 per cent
and APAC for 7.0 per cent.
OPERATING RESULT
The operating result for the review period was EUR 1.9 (3.4) million. The
decline of EUR 2.9 million in net sales had an impact on the operating profit.
Net sales declined in the Charging business unit in Latin America. During 2007
major new orders have been received later in the year than in 2006. Sales of the
Messaging business unit increased in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The decline in net sales occurred in the first quarter, when they were EUR 4.2
million down on the previous year. During the second quarter, however, net sales
were EUR 1.2 million higher than in the previous year. Tecnomen's net sales are
based on project sales, where the figures for different quarters of the year can
vary considerably.
During the review period EUR 0.3 million less of product development costs were
capitalised than in the previous year and EUR 0.8 million more of development
costs were amortised. Together these items had a negative impact on the result
of EUR 1.1 million.
The result for the period before taxes was EUR 2.5 (3.0) million.
Earnings per share were EUR 0.03 (0.04). Equity per share at the end of the
period was EUR 1.21 (1.35).
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
Tecnomen's liquid assets totalled EUR 6.3 (27.5) million. The cash flow for the
six month review period was EUR -14.0 million, with EUR -13.0 million of this in
the first quarter and EUR -1.0 million in the second. The first quarter cash
flow included a repayment of capital to shareholders of EUR 5.9 million. Factors
contributing to the reduction in liquid assets from the previous year were this
EUR 5.9 million repayment of capital in March and a repayment of the same amount
of capital in September 2006, so that in total capital of EUR 11.8 has been
repaid.
The balance sheet total on 30 June 2007 stood at EUR 86.9 (91.0) million.
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 0.0 (0.0) million. The debt to
equity ratio (gearing) was -8.9 per cent (-34.8 %). The balance sheet structure
remained strong and the equity ratio on 30 June 2007 was 81.9 per cent (87.2 %).
Tecnomen's gross capital expenditure during the review period, excluding the
capitalisation of development costs, was EUR 0.9 (1.5) million or 2.7 per cent
(4.4 %) of net sales.
Financial income and expenses (net) during the review period totalled EUR 0.6
(-0.3) million. The net effect of assessing foreign currency balance sheet items
was EUR 0.4 (-0.6) million, the loss from assessing the fair value of funds was
EUR -0.2 (0.1) million, and other financial income totalled EUR 0.4 (0.1)
million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the review period, considerably more working capital than normal was tied
up in accounts receivable and projects in progress, for major projects of the
Charging business unit. These were mainly completed during the second quarter,
so the working capital tied up in them is expected to be released during the
second half of the year.
MARKETS
Messaging
During the second quarter Tecnomen signed major orders for Messaging expansions
in Asia, America and Africa. These and the previously agreed projects continue
the positive developments in the Messaging business area that began in the final
quarter of last year.
Charging
The growth in subscriber numbers continued in Central and South America and in
Africa, and Tecnomen obtained major expansion orders in all these areas. During
the second quarter the major delivery projects for Charging customers that had
started earlier were mainly completed.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs during the review period were EUR 7.9 (6.5)
million, corresponding to 24.6 per cent (18.7 %) of net sales. EUR 3.3 (3.6)
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
1.0 (0.2) million were amortised during the review period.
PERSONNEL
At the end of June 2007 Tecnomen employed 347 (393) persons, of whom 87 (120)
worked in Finland and 260 (273) elsewhere. The company employed on average 356
(386) people during the review period. Personnel by geographical area were as

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group's new organisation structure as from 1 October 2006 comprises the
Messaging and Charging business units and support functions. Based on this
change, 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.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of Tecnomen Corporation held on 14 March 2007
approved the 2006 financial statements and discharged the Board of Directors and
President from liability for the 2006 financial year. The AGM resolved, in
accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to distribute EUR 0.10 per
share from the unrestricted equity fund to the shareholders in proportion to
their holdings. Payment was made to shareholders registered on 19 March 2007 in
the company's shareholder register maintained by the Finnish Central Securities
Depository Ltd. The capital repayment date was 26 March 2007. The payment was
made on altogether 58,833,178 shares, giving an aggregate total payment of EUR
5,883,317.80. The capital repayment was not made on the shares in the company's
own possession (134,800 shares).
Board of Directors
The Annual General Meeting confirmed that Tecnomen's Board of Directors would
have six (6) members. The following Board members were re-elected: Lauri Ratia,
Carl-Johan Numelin, Keijo Olkkola, Christer Sumelius and Timo Toivila. Johan
Hammarén was elected as a new member to the Board. According to the decision
taken at the preliminary meeting of the Board, Lauri Ratia continues as Chairman
and Carl-Johan Numelin as Vice Chairman of the Board. The period of office for
Tecnomen's current Board of Directors will end at the end of the 2008 Annual
General Meeting.
Auditors
KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, will continue as the company's
auditors, with Sixten Nyman, APA, as responsible auditor, until the end of the
2008 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
Current authorisations
The Board of Directors was authorised 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 otherwise than in proportion to the holdings
of the shareholders through public trading of the securities on the Helsinki
Stock Exchange 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 replaces the authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting on
15 March 2006 and is valid for one year from the decision of the Annual General
Meeting.
The Board was authorised to decide on issuing a maximum of 17,800,000 new shares
and/or conveying 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 to develop the capital structure of the Company, to carry out corporate
acquisitions or other business arrangements to develop the business of the
Company, to finance capital expenditure, or to use the shares as part of the
Company's incentive schemes in the extent and manner decided by the Board of
Directors.
The Board was authorised to decide on a free share issue to the Company itself.
The number of shares to be issued to the Company with the shares acquired by the
Company under the authorisation to acquire own shares shall be a maximum of one
tenth (1/10) of all the Company's shares.
The Board of Directors also has the right to grant the special rights referred
to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act, which carry the right to
receive, against payment, new shares of the Company or the Company's own shares
held by the Company such that the subscription price of the shares is paid in
cash or by using the subscriber's receivable to set off the subscription price.
The subscription price of the new shares and the consideration payable for the
Company's own shares may be recorded partially or fully in the invested
non-restricted equity reserve or in the share capital in the extent and manner
decided by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors shall decide on other terms and conditions related to the
share issues and granting of the special rights. These authorisations replace
the authorisations given by the Annual General Meeting on 15 March 2006 and are
valid for two years from the decision of the Annual General Meeting.
STOCK OPTION PROGRAMMES
The company currently has a 2002 stock option programme and a 2006 stock option
programme.
The subscription periods for the 2002 stock options are: for the 2002C stock
option 1 April 2005 - 30 April 2007 and for the 2002D stock option 1 April 2006
- 30 April 2008. The last exercise date for the 2002B stock option was 30 April
2007. 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.
During the review period a total of 66,500 new shares were subscribed with the
2002C 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. The share subscription price for 2006A
stock options is EUR 2.61, for 2006B stock options EUR 1.46, and for 2006C stock
options the trade-weighted average price of the Company share on the Helsinki
Exchanges during 1 January - 31 March 2008. Tecnomen's Board of Directors has
issued 436,000 2006A 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.
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
and success 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
No significant events have occurred after the end of period.
PROSPECTS FOR 2007
Net sales and operating result in 2007 are expected to be at the same level as
in 2006. The variations between the different quarters of the year are
considerable.

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND BASIS FOR PREPARING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with the
international financial reporting standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The formulas for calculating the key figures presented and the accounting
principles for the interim report are the same as the principles published in
the 2006 Annual Report, apart from the change mentioned below in the
presentation of segment information.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Tecnomen Group reports on the Messaging and Charging business units as its
primary segments. The geographical areas are reported as secondary segments.
Tecnomen Group operates in three geographical areas: Americas (North, Central
and South America), EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia
Pacific).
Unallocated items include taxes, financial items and corporate assets and
expenses.
Net sales for the geographical segments are presented based on the location of
customers.
In reporting on the new segments, the figures for comparison for 2006 will not
be presented for the new primary segments since the only information available
for the new segments is net sales.
