President and CEO Jarmo Niemi:
“As we stated in our stock exchange release on 23 January 2009, we succeeded
very well in completing delivery projects towards the end of last year, and as a
result the final quarter of the year was exceptionally strong. Another
consequence was that net sales in the first quarter being reported now were
lower than in the previous year and the operating result was negative. The cash
flow from operations was positive and cash funds were extremely strong.
“The first quarter for the Messaging business unit was weak, following the
strong final quarter last year. The unit did not deliver any major new projects
but won a new NGM customer in Africa. Net sales totalled EUR 4.9 million and the
operating result was negative.
“During the first quarter, the Charging business unit saw good progress in the
degree of completion for major projects started in the previous year and in the
maintenance contract base. The net sales and result for the quarter improved
from the previous year.”
Unless otherwise stated, all figures presented below are for the review period
1-3/2009 and the figures for comparison are for the corresponding period
1-3/2008.
SALES AND NET SALES
Tecnomen's net sales in the review period decreased by 24.1 per cent to EUR 11.5
(15.2) million.
EUR 2.1 million of the sales in the review period has been recognised in
accordance with IAS 11 (Construction contracts) and EUR 9.4 million in
accordance with IAS 18 (Revenues).
Net sales by geographical area were: Americas 60.6 per cent (26.0 %), EMEA 32.7
per cent (50.5 %) and APAC 6.7 per cent (23.6 %).
Net sales by product line were: Messaging 42.3 per cent (81.7 %) and Charging
57.7 per cent (18.3 %).
Sales through global partners totalled EUR 1.3 (2.7) million or 11.6 per cent
(17.6 %) of net sales.
Maintenance and service sales totalled EUR 3.9 (3.8) million or 33.8 per cent
(25.0 %) of net sales.
The order book stood at EUR 11.7 (16.8) million at the end of the review period.
Americas accounted for 31.4 per cent of the order book, EMEA for 56.7 per cent
and APAC for 11.9 per cent.
OPERATING RESULT
Net sales in the review period totalled EUR 11.5 (15.2) million and the
operating result EUR -1.7 (-0.4) million.
The effective completion of projects meant that net sales in 2008 were EUR 7.1
million higher than in the previous year. The recognition of major projects
correspondingly reduced the order book at the end of 2008 and the net sales and
operating profit for the first quarter of 2009.
Capitalisation of research and development costs and amortisation of these had
the net impact of weakening the result by EUR 1.2 million compared to the
previous year. The operating result in the review period was -14.9% (-2.6%) of
net sales.
Tecnomen'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 then one quarter.
The result for the period before taxes was EUR -1.4 (-0.4) million.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 0.3 (0.9) million, including a change in the
deferred tax liability of EUR 0.1 (0.5) million recorded on the basis of the
capitalization of R&D costs and withholding taxes recognised as parent company
expenses of EUR 0.2 (0.2) million.
Earnings per share were EUR -0.03 (-0.02). Equity per share at the end of the
period was EUR 1.38 (1.23).
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
Tecnomen's liquid funds totalled EUR 51.5 (11.8) million. Liquid funds include a
loan of EUR 20.0 million raised at the end of 2008 to finance the Lifetree
acquisition. The cash flow for the review period was EUR 0.3 million.
The balance sheet total on 31 March 2009 stood at EUR 117.4 (86.4) million.
Interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 20.0 (0.0) million. The net debt to equity
ratio (net gearing) was -38.5 per cent (-16.2 %). The balance sheet structure
remained strong and the equity ratio on 31 March 2009 was 69.7 per cent (83.9
%).
Tecnomen's gross capital expenditure during the review period, excluding the
capitalisation of development costs, was EUR 0.3 (0.2) million or 2.8 per cent
(1.3 %) of net sales.
Financial income and expenses (net) during the year totalled EUR 0.3 (0.0)
million. The increase in net financial income is mainly due to the exchange rate
gains from US dollar deposits.

BUSINESS UNITS
Messaging
Sales in the first quarter were significantly lower than in the corresponding
period in the previous year. During the quarter no major system expansions were
supplied. Tecnomen added a new customer for an NGM system in Africa. Service and
maintenance also continued its strong performance in all main market areas.
Charging
Net sales for the Charging business unit were higher than for the corresponding
period in the previous year. Subscriber numbers in Africa and Latin America
continued to grow. Good progress was made in the first quarter in the degree of
completion of major projects begun in the previous year and in the maintenance
contract base.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs during the year totalled EUR 3.7 (4.3) million,
corresponding to 31.8 per cent (28.3 %) of net sales. EUR 1.3 (2.4) million of
development costs were capitalised and these will be amortised over 3-5 years
from the start of commercial use. R&D costs of EUR 1.0 (0.8) million were
amortised during the review period.
PERSONNEL
At the end of March 2009 Tecnomen employed 350 (365) persons, of whom 91 (92)
worked in Finland and 259 (273) elsewhere. The company employed on average 353

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of Tecnomen Corporation held on 19 March 2009
confirmed the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements for
2008 and discharged the Board of Directors and the President from liability for
the financial year 2008.
Acquisition of Lifetree Convergence Ltd
The Annual General Meeting approved the agreements signed by Tecnomen through
which the Company will acquire up to 96.6 % of the shares of Lifetree
Convergence Ltd ('Lifetree'), as stated in the stock exchange release of 15
December 2008.
Amendments to Articles of Association
The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to
amend Article 1 regarding the company name as follows:
“1 § Business name and domicile of Company
The business name of the Company is Tecnomen Lifetree Oyj; in Swedish, Tecnomen
Lifetree Abp; and in English, Tecnomen Lifetree Corporation. The Company is
domiciled in Espoo.”
The amendment is subject to the completion of the acquisition of the shares of
Lifetree.
In addition the Annual General Meeting confirmed, in accordance with the
proposal of the Board of Directors, that Article 4 of the Articles of
Association be amended to read as follows:
“4 § The Board of Directors
The Company's administration and the due organization of its operations shall be
entrusted to the Board of Directors, which shall consist of at least three (3)
and at most eight (8) ordinary members elected by the General Meeting.
The term of office of a member of the Board of Directors expires at the end of
the first Annual General Meeting following the election.
The Board of Directors shall elect a Chairman and a Vice-Chairman from among its
members until the end of the following Annual General Meeting. The Board of
Directors shall constitute a quorum when more than half of its members are
present at a meeting. Matters shall be resolved by a simple majority of the
votes cast. In the event of a tie, the chairman shall have the deciding vote.”
Issue of Stock Options
The Annual General meeting confirmed the proposal of the Board of Directors to
issue stock options to key personnel of the Tecnomen Group and to a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.
The stock options shall, in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive
subscription rights, be issued to key personnel of the Group and to Tecnomen
Japan Oy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. It is proposed to deviate
from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights since the stock options
are to form part of the Group's incentive and commitment programme for key
personnel, and therefore it can be considered that there is a weighty financial
reason for the deviation.
The stock options will be issued without payment. It is proposed that a maximum
of 6,840,036 options be issued. Of the stock options, 1,026,005 shall be marked
with the symbol 2009A, 2,394,013 shall be marked with the symbol 2009B and
3,420,018 shall be marked with the symbol 2009C. Each option right entitles its
holder to subscribe to one (1) share in the Company. As a result of the share
subscriptions, the number of shares in the Company may be increased by a total
maximum of 6,840,036 new shares.
The share subscription price is EUR 0.86, based on the volume weighted average
price of the share quoted on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. during the four week
period ending 17 November 2008. The share subscription period for stock option
2009A shall be 1 April 2009 - 31 March 2011, for stock option 2009B 1 April 2010
- 31 March 2012 and for stock option 2009C 1 April 2011 - 31 March 2013.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the share subscription periods for a maximum of
two-thirds (2/3) of the 2009B and 2009C stock options shall be conditional on
the Company achieving its revenue and profitability targets set by the Board of
Directors. The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for
invested unrestricted equity in its entirety.
Resolution on dividend payment
The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the proposal of the
Board of Directors, to authorise the Board to decide on paying a dividend of EUR
0.07 per share for the financial year ended on 31 December 2008. The Board of
Directors shall decide on the dividend record date and payment date. The Board
has not yet taken the decision on the payout date of the dividend.
Board of Directors
The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the Board of Directors will consist of
six (6) members. However, should the acquisition of the shares of Lifetree take
place, eight (8) members will be elected. Johan Hammarén, Harri Koponen,
Carl-Johan Numelin, Christer Sumelius and Hannu Turunen were re-elected as Board
members and Pentti Heikkinen was elected as a new member. In addition, Atul
Chopra and David K. White were elected as board members, subject to the
completion of the acquisition. The term of office of Atul Chopra and David K
White shall commence at the completion of the acquisition. In accordance with
the decision taken by the Board at its formative meeting after the AGM, Hannu
Turunen was elected chairman and Carl-Johan Numelin vice-chairman of the Board.
The term of office of the Board members expires at the end of the first Annual
General Meeting following the election.
Auditors
KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, will continue as the Company's
auditor, with Sixten Nyman, APA, as principal auditor, until the end of the
following Annual General Meeting.
Authorisations
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the
acquisition of a maximum of 5,790,000 of the Company's own shares. The Company's
own shares shall be acquired with unrestricted shareholders' equity otherwise
than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders through public trading of
the securities on OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki Ltd 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 will decide on other
terms of the share acquisition. The authorisation shall replace the
authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting on 12 March 2008 and will be
valid for one year from the decision of the Annual General Meeting.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
As from 1 January 2009, Tecnomen is applying the new IFRS 8 standard. Like the
former primary segments under IAS 14, Tecnomen Group's operating segments under
IFRS 8 comprise the developing and supplying of messaging and charging
solutions. The operating segments presented are the Messaging and Charging
product lines. This is because these are clearly distinct businesses and they
are monitored in the company's internal financial reporting as separate business
units.
Adopting IFRS 8 has not changed the principles for defining the items to be
reported or excluded for the segments. Tecnomen's chief operating decision
maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the Group's management board. The operating
results for the operating segments and administrative expenses form the Group's
operating profit or loss.
STOCK OPTION PROGRAMMES
During the review period the Company's current stock option programme was the
2006 stock option programme. The situation concerning the stock options on 31
March 2009 was as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Option | Maximum | Number of | Exercise period | Exercise |
| series | number of | granted | | price |
| | options | options | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Total | 2,001,000 | 971,000 | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Altogether 2,001,000 stock options remained on 31 March 2009 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 3.27 % of the Company's shares and
the votes carried by the shares after any increase in share capital. On 31 March
2009 the Company still held 1,030,000 of all the current stock options. The
issued stock options had a maximum diluting effect on 31 March 2009 of 1.61 %.
Tecnomen's Annual General Meeting on 19 March 2009 decided on the 2009 stock
option programme, but this is conditional on the closing of the acquisition of
the shares of Lifetree Convergence Ltd. After closing the Company will have the
following new stock option programme:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Option | Maximum | Number of | Exercise period | Exercise |
| series | number of | granted | | price |
| | options | options | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Total | 6,840,036 | | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's Board has decided to issue stock options such that they will be a
maximum of 8.50 % of Tecnomen's fully diluted shares.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
The risks and uncertainty factors are explained in the report of the Board of
Directors. 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, and to changes in currency exchange rates. No significant changes have
taken place in the company's risks and uncertainty factors compared to the
previous interim report.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD
No major events have taken place after the end of period.
PROSPECTS FOR 2009
Because of the overall economic situation, the state of the market in Tecnomen's
business sector, and pending completion of the acquisition of Lifetree
Convergence Ltd, the Company is not making any estimates for 2009 at this stage.
Variations between quarterly figures are expected to be considerable.
