** before the EUR 14.7 million net payment for Tecnotree India acquisition
President and CEO Eero Mertano:
“The beginning of 2010 has gone according to plan. The merger of Tecnomen and
Lifetree to form Tecnotree has given our company a broader product portfolio,
greater R & D resources, extra customers and an improved cost structure. The
company is now starting to see the impact of these benefits. On-going structural
and synergistic changes are being made, anticipating the economic recovery and
improving customer demand.
During the three month review period our net sales were EUR 14.1 million (EUR
11.5 million in Jan. - Mar. 2009). New orders totalled EUR 24.3 (13.6) million
and as a result the order book at the end of March stood at EUR 21.9
(31.12.2009: 11.7) million. Maintenance sales were EUR 6.6 (3.9) million and
the cash flow was EUR 0.6 million positive.
The Q1 figures show that our company is on the right track. Our strong financial
position, improved competitiveness and skilled personnel ensure that we can
develop the company's operations with a long-term approach. We are working
closely with our customers to make sure this positive trend continues.”

(33.8 %) of net sales.
OPERATING RESULT
Tecnotree's business operations are based on project sales. The income and costs
recorded for these vary considerably from one quarter to another. For this
reason it is important to base an examination of the profitability of the
company on the result for more than one quarter.

The order book at the end of 2009 stood at just EUR 11.7 million, and this is a
main reason why net sales in the first quarter were not more than EUR 14.1
million.
Capitalisation of research and development costs and amortisation of these had
the net impact of weakening the result by EUR 1.6 million compared to the
corresponding period in the previous year.
Tecnotree Convergence Limited has been consolidated as from 6 May 2009, so the
figures for the first quarter of 2009 do not include the figures for India,
which were: net sales EUR 3.8 million and operating result EUR 0.0 million.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 0.4 (0.3) million, including the following
items:

SEGMENT INFORMATION
As from the beginning of 2010, the operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by
Tecnotree are the geographical areas, which are Americas (North, Central and
South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific).
This is because their results are monitored separately in the company's internal
financial reporting. Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to
in IFRS 8, is the Group's management board.
Net sales and the result for the operating segments are presented based on the
location of customers. The result of the operating segments includes the costs
that can be allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Common costs for
the whole Group as well as taxes and financial items are not allocated.
GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS
Tecnotree Group operates in the following geographical areas: Americas (North,
Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia
Pacific).
Americas (North, Central and South America)
The order book grew considerably in Latin America. Tecnotree obtained major new
customers in the region and demand turned out to be strong especially for the
new products made in India. It seems that mobile phone operators in the region
are significantly increasing their level of investment from the previous year.
Europe
Sales in Europe increased mainly due to good maintenance sales. The degree of
completion of delivery projects in progress rose as planned. European operators
seem to be making bigger investments than in the previous year, especially in
eastern Europe.
MEA (Middle East and Africa)
In the Middle East and Africa, sales and the order book grew considerably. Sales
of billing, customer management and managed services solutions increased in
particular. The investment needs of operators in the region remain strong,
boosted by the growth in subscriber numbers.
APAC (Asia Pacific)
Sales in the APAC region grew significantly from the corresponding period in the
previous year. The willingness of operators to make investments varies greatly
from one country to another, but overall seems to be better than in 2009.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs during the review period totalled EUR 3.3 (3.7)
million, corresponding to 23.7 per cent (31.8 %) of net sales. EUR 0.2 (1.3)
million of development costs were capitalised. Once the projects are completed,
these capitalized costs will be amortised over 3-5 years from the start of
commercial use. R&D costs of EUR 1.5 (1.0) million were amortised during the
review period.
PERSONNEL
At the end of March 2010 Tecnotree employed 759 (31.12.2009: 779) persons, of
whom 80 (31.12.2009: 83) worked in Finland and 679 (31.12.2009: 696) elsewhere.
The company employed on average 756 (353) people during the review period.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
The risks and uncertainty factors for Tecnotree are explained in the report of
the Board of Directors presented in the 2009 Annual Report. The risks and
uncertainties to which the company is exposed in the near future relate to major
projects that are under negotiation and to their timing, to receivables, and to
changes in currency exchange rates. No significant changes have taken place in
the company's risks and uncertainty factors compared to the 2009 closing.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF PERIOD
No significant events have occurred after the end of period.
PROSPECTS
Consistent with the improving market sentiment and demand, Tecnotree estimates
that net sales will be considerably higher in 2010 than in 2009. Higher sales
and lower costs are expected to improve profitability significantly and the
operating result should be positive.
Capitalization of R & D costs is expected to be clearly less in 2010 than in the
previous year. This is because product development has a greater emphasis on
customer specific projects and a lower cost base.
Variations between quarterly figures are expected to continue to be
considerable.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE INTERIM REPORT
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS reporting and
evaluation principles and applying the same accounting principles as in the
previous annual financial statements, but not complying with all the
requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The new and revised IFRS
regulations that came into force on 1 January 2010 have not had a significant
impact on the accounting principles and basis for preparing the interim report.
As from the beginning of 2010, Tecnotree has changed the operating segments
under IFRS 8, now being the geographical areas: Americas (North, Central and
South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific).
On 31 March 2010, the purchase price calculation of Tecnotree India presented in
the financial statements is still preliminary, since the determination of the
fair value of the company's assets is partly incomplete.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The changes in segment reporting are explained in the first part of this interim
report.
