REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Overview
As to deliveries and profitability Teleste's growth continued on a good level.
Framework contractual deliveries to Europe and the reference delivery of the
100mbps broadband solution (EttH) to South Korea were particularly significant.
A new sales office was set up in Australia. The service business was developed
in compliance with the strategy by way of acquisition in April of the Belgian
DINH Telecom and establishment in June of the network engineering company in the
UK. R&D efforts mainly involved the IP-headend solution drawing on the Internet
Protocol technology. The new IP-headend product was well received including the
developing Indian market.
Net Sales and Profitability
Teleste net sales totalled EUR 125.1 (101.8) million, an increase of 22.9% over
the previous year. Net sales in Q4 amounted to EUR 31.1 (28.4) million.
Operating profit stood at EUR 13.2 (9.8) million making 10.5% (9.6%) of net
sales. Operating profit for Q4 stood at EUR 3.0 (2.2) million making 9.8 %
(7.6%) of net sales.
Teleste's orders received improved by 10.5% standing at EUR 118.5 (107.2)
million. Orders received in Q4 stood at EUR 29.7 (33.9) million. Teleste's order
backlog reduced by 23.5% amounting to EUR 21.5 (28.1) million at the year-end.
This decline in order backlog was caused by stabilisation in growth of orders
involving Broadband Cable Networks amplifiers and the reduction in the order
backlog for EttH. The order backlog was additionally affected by shortened
delivery times achieved through the investments made in flexibility of the
production capacity, on the one hand, and the increased service business, on the
other.
Profit after financial items totalled EUR 12.7 (9.3) million while the net
profit equalled EUR 9.4 (6.9) million. The Group's undiluted result per share
stood at EUR 0.55 (EUR 0.41). Tax rate for the period was 26.1% (25.9%). Return
on capital employed amounted to 27.1% (24.3%) while return on equity was 22.2%
(19.7%).
R&D and Investments
R&D expenditure for the period under review totalled EUR 13.1 (9.8) million
making 10.5% (9.7%) of net sales. The single most important R&D initiative
involved the IP-headend solution based on the Internet Protocol technology. R&D
efforts included development of the platforms Ethernet-to-the-Home (EttH), Fiber
to the X (FttX), GigaHerz amplifier technology Access, video surveillance
transfer system MP-X and video surveillance management system MoRIS. Some 40% of
the R&D expenses involved maintenance of solution platforms currently in
production. Activated product development expenses stood at EUR 2.7 (1.4)
million. This capitalisation involved the broadband technology platforms of
IP-headend, EttH, MP-X and GigaHerz. Depreciation on R&D expenses for the period
under review activated earlier amounted to EUR 1.4 (0.9) million. The R&D
expenditure in Q4 amounted to EUR 3.5 (3.9) million. A number of Teleste's
projects involved co-operation with Finnish universities and research
institutes. Almost 23% (22%/2006, 20%/2005, 20%/2004) of the Group personnel was
involved in R&D.
Investments for the period under review totalled EUR 12.3 (6.2) million making
9.8% (6.1%) of net sales; acquisition of DINH Telecom involved EUR 6.1 million.
Other investments included essentially a new SMT line, R&D and IT. As to
investments for the period, EUR 1.8 (0.5) million was carried out by financial
leasing.
Finance
Liquidity of the Group remained good. Operating cash flow improved standing at
EUR 12.0 (2.7) million. Teleste is prepared for strategic investments and
increased need for working capital driven by growth by means of stand-by
credits. The amount of unused stand-by credits at the end of the period amounted
to EUR 23.0 (23.0) million. The relevant credit limits are valid until November
2008 and negotiations over new financing arrangements are on-going. The Group's
equity ratio was 60.2% (55.3%) with gearing standing at 3.8% (3.2%). Interest
bearing debt on 31 December 2007 was EUR 9.5 (8.0) million.
Personnel and Organisation
In 2007 the Group employed an average of 681 people (608/2006, 546/2005). At the
year-end, the figure totalled 672 (621/2006, 557/2005) of which approximately
34% (30%/2006, 27%/2005) were stationed overseas. The stated number of personnel
does not include temporary labour averaging 64 (50) persons in the financial
period. The number of temporary labour at the year-end was 36 (59). Employees
stationed outside Europe accounted for less than 10% of the Group's personnel.
Expenditure on employee benefits amounted to EUR 31.5 (27.1/2006, 24.1/2005)
million.
Description of Business Areas and the Involved Key Risks
Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology company currently running the business
units of Broadband Cable Networks and Video Networks. In line with its strategy
Teleste continues to focus on the chosen product and technology segments as well
service business and technical integration. Integrated deliveries of solutions
pave the way for brisk growth even if the involved resource allocation and
technical implementation also pose a challenge involving reasonable risks. In
addition, appropriately chosen technology and its correct timing are
instrumental for the success of the businesses not forgetting market dynamics
such as the importance of consolidation of clients and competition. Much of
Teleste's competition comes from America and, therefore, strong euro up against
the US dollar erodes our price competitiveness.
The company has covered risks involving any damage in operative functions of the
businesses mainly through insurance policies, with no credit loss risks
included. For Teleste no such risks materialised in 2007 and no such legal
proceedings or juridical procedures were pending that would have had any
essential significance for the Group operation.
Broadband Cable Networks
Broadband Cable Networks delivers its main clientele of cable operators with
equipment and systems designed for the construction of transmission network and
signal processing. Deliveries include individual pieces of equipment and turnkey
networks alike. The business also makes available a number of services related
to maintenance and engineering of network infrastructure. The main market area
of Broadband Cable Networks is Europe, which business area involves 19 own sales
offices supported by a number of retail and integration partners. Outside
Europe, Broadband Cable Networks has own offices located in China and India.
As to the framework contractual deliveries to the biggest European cable
operators Broadband Cable Networks succeeded as planned. Deliveries involving
EttH technology for the South Korean Hanaro Telecom materialized for the main
part in Q1. Concerning our European clientele and competition, mergers and
changes in ownership relations continued. These developments may affect
Teleste's position in view of the operators' choices of suppliers for products
and services.
The unit continued to invest in R&D, shortening of turnaround times in
deliveries, strengthening of its partner network and expansion of its service
business. In April the unit acquired the Belgian DINH Telecom and in the
following June the service business was expanded by setting up in UK a network
engineering company with approximately 40 employees. Marketing efforts involving
the IP-headend product solution were initiated in Q4 continuing over to Q1 of
2008. Orders received by Broadband Cable Networks increased by 9.3% (27.4%)
amounting to EUR 101.4 (92.8) million. Net sales grew by 26.5% (27.3%) standing
at EUR 108.2 (85.6) million. Operating profit went up by 41.7% (22.9%) standing
at EUR 12.8 (9.1) million. At the year-end order backlog stood at EUR 19.7
(26.7) million. Orders received in Q4 of the period stood at EUR 25.2 (29.7)
million. Reduction in the order backlog was attributed to stabilisation of
growth in demand for amplifiers, reduction in the order backlog for the EttH,
the short order backlog typical for service business and shortening of
turnaround times in deliveries.
Net sales for Q4 amounted to EUR 25.5 (23.8) million while operating profit
stood at EUR 2.3 (1.8) million. As a whole we estimate the market situation for
the business unit to remain favourable also in 2008. However, the market
situation varies by market area depending on the need faced by the operators to
invest in their networks.
Video Networks
Clientele of Video Networks mainly includes public sector organisations and
system integrators. The business area has focussed on high-quality video
surveillance systems transferring real-time video, audio and data. In July Video
Networks made a two-year framework agreement with a significant French
telecommunications company on deliveries involving video surveillance equipment
and network solutions to the French market. Additional deliveries for the French
National Railway Authority (SNCF) involving video surveillance management
systems played a key part. The implemented R&D efforts involved development of
the IP-based video surveillance system MP-X and technical integration.
The business has seven sales offices in Europe and offices outside Europe are
located in the United States, Australia, China and Thailand.
Orders received by Video Networks increased by 18.9% (15.5%) amounting to EUR
17.1 (14.4) million. Net sales grew by 4.3% (5.3%) standing at EUR 16.9 (16.2)
million. Operating profit stood at EUR 0.3 (0.7) million. Reduced profitability
was due to smaller net sales from mid-market systems and R&D efforts such as
strengthening of the technical integration organisation. At the year-end order
backlog stood at EUR 1.8 (1.5) million. In Q4 orders received amounted to EUR
4.5 (4.2) million with net sales equalling EUR 5.5 (4.6) million. Operating
profit stood at EUR 0.7 (0.3) million.
In 2008 price competition will continue to intensify especially in the area of
network solutions. Large companies have entered the market by force.
Significance of technical integration in operations of the business area will
increase. The technology involved in these applications is renewed rapidly.
Based on the developments in order backlog we estimate our business area to
develop favourably in 2008.
Business Areas by Geography
In geographical terms, the Group's business areas are divided up into
Scandinavia, rest of Europe and others.

Net sales in the Nordic countries amounted to EUR 35.5 (32.2) million.
Investments for the area totalled EUR 6.1 (5.8) million.
Rest of Europe:
Net sales for the rest of Europe stood at EUR 78.3 (62.1) million while the
investments made in the area amounted to EUR 6.1 (0.1) million.

million.
Group Structure
In the period under review Teleste acquired the entire share capital of the
Belgian DINH Telecom and founded a network engineering company in UK to promote
growth of its service business. The parent company of Teleste Group operates
through branch offices in Australia, Belgium, China, Denmark, France, India, the
Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Thailand while running subsidiaries in 11
countries exclusive of Finland.
General Meetings
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 3 April 2007 confirmed the financial
statements for 2006 and discharged the Board and the CEO from liability for the
financial period. The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.20 per share as
proposed by the Board of Directors. The dividend was paid out on 17 April 2007.
Composition of Teleste's Board remained unchanged: Mr. Tapio Hintikka was
re-elected as Chairman whilst Mr. Tero Laaksonen, Mr. Pertti Raatikainen, Mr.
Timo Toivila and Mr. Pekka Vennamo continued as members on the Board of
Directors.
Authorised Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next
AGM.
The AGM authorised the Board to acquire the maximum of 1,290,000 of the
company's own shares and to convey the maximum of 1,730,000 company's own
shares. Based on authorisations of 2001 and 2002 the company is in possession of
352,482 of its own shares.
The AGM also authorised the company to issue 4,500,000 new shares. The maximum
number of significant shares accommodated by the special rights granted by the
company equals 1,730,000. These authorisations will be valid until the AGM due
to be held in 2008. Nominal value of the company share was renounced. The AGM
accepted a share option plan involving key personnel. According to this, 840,000
new shares may be subscribed; the plan's possible dilution effect might be 4.6%.
In the financial period authorisations granted by the AGM were used by conveying
0.53% of the number of shares, i.e. 92,338 own shares, on acquiring the capital
stock of DINH Telecom. 10,180 shares, in other words 0.06% of the number of
shares, were conveyed for payment of the share bonus of the Management Group.
Other authorisations were not used.
Management and the Auditors
CEO of the company has been Mr. Jukka Rinnevaara. The AGM elected KPMG Oy Ab as
the auditor.
Shares and Changes in Share Capital
Largest single shareholder at the end of 2007 was the Sampo Life Insurance
Company Ltd with the holding of 9.19%.
As to the company share price in 2007 the low was EUR 6.47 (6.46) and the high
EUR 12.34 (12.75). Closing price at the end of the year stood at EUR 6.71
(11.63). In 2007 7.2 (14.2) million shares standing for 40.5% (81.4%) of the
share capital were traded on the OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki.
The 2004A options distributed to the Teleste key personnel were listed on the
main list of OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki on 24 August 2007. In the period
221,965 own shares were subscribed using 2002A options and 60,038 using 2002B
options.
At the balance sheet date the company's registered share capital amounted to EUR
6,966,932.80, divided up into 17,671,305 shares; out of these the company was
holding 352,482 shares. At the balance sheet date, when put against the total
amount of shares and votes the shares in company possession equalled 1.99%.
Other matters affecting the company governance will be stated in the Annual
Report under section Good Governance.
Outlook for 2008
Regardless of the general uncertainty in the world market we estimate the
favourable market situation to continue in our business areas. New services
provided by the cable operators and the increased competition for customers call
for investments in greater capacity of transfer networks. The demand for
solutions involving next generation high-speed data communication solutions like
EttH and FttX will increase together with those concerning smart fibre-optical
and coaxial networks (HFC). Digitalisation of IPTV and TV services will lead to
growth in sales of the new IP-headend solution. The market situation of
Broadband Cable Networks varies by market area depending on the needs for
investment related to the networks' technical status. The cost-effective range
of products and services of the business area create preconditions for continued
profitable growth also in 2008. Increased needs for security and more effective
traffic infrastructure raise demand for the Video Networks' solutions. We
estimate demand for our top-quality network management applications and
tailored-to-industry solutions to pick up in 2008 as well as improvement in
profitability for the business area.
In 2008 Teleste will grow profitably even if the figures of the previous year
may not be reached in the first quarter.
In 2008 we continue to focus on speeding up R&D and turnaround times in
deliveries, opening up new sales channels and growth in the integration and
service business.
Board of Directors' Proposal for Dividends
As to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 1 April 2008, the Board proposes
that a dividend of EUR 0.24 (EUR 0.20) per share will be paid for the
outstanding shares for the year 2007.
