IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The change applies mainly
to the presentation of Income Statement and Changes in Equity.
IFRS 8 Operating segments. The new standard replaces the IAS 14
Segment Reporting Standard. According to IFRS 8, the reporting is
based on the management's internal reporting.
The Group has no segments to report.
Unless stated otherwise, the comparison figures refer to the
corresponding period last year.
Sami Mykkänen, the President and CEO of Incap Group: "Our operations
developed in the right direction during the first quarter. We
achieved cost savings in many areas and achieved our objective in the
reduction of inventories, among others.
Once the new organisational model has become established, business
units will intensively seek opportunities for deepening cooperation
with our present customers. Efforts to win new customers will be
intensified in the manufacture and design of devices in energy
efficiency and well-being technologies, i.e. the growth areas in
accordance with our strategy.
Our most important objective in 2009 is to improve profitability. We
will continue to adjust the level of production capacity, boost the
efficiency of materials management and reduce fixed costs. We will
ensure our competitiveness by increasing the efficiency of our
operations and by developing our services."
Revenue and net profit during January-March 2009
Revenue during the first quarter was EUR 18.5 million (Q1 2008: EUR
20.3 million), which was 9% less than during the corresponding period

revenue, operating profit was -2.8% (-6.5%). Costs were reduced

reorganisation programme. Personnel expenses decreased compared both

Development of operations
Most of the revenue accrued from manufacturing services related to
energy efficiency technology and well-being technology products. The
last deliveries of high-volume products in telecommunications
technology took place in March, when cooperation with a big customer
came to an end as planned.
In the Indian unit, a large number of prototypes for new customers'
products were in production and the quotation base was more than
doubled from the year end. Construction of the new manufacturing
facilities of the Indian factory proceeded and at the end of the
report period, installation started on a SMD assembly machine line
transferred from the company's factory in Vuokatti, Finland, and on
other manufacturing equipment. The new facilities and up-to-date
capacity will boost competitiveness and improve our opportunities to
start the manufacturing of new products. Due to the rapid increase in
the demand for design services, the respective resources in India
have been increased.
Inventories fell from EUR 16.2 million at the turn of the year to EUR
14.7 million in line with the objectives. The decrease was due to the
reduction in the inventory of telecommunications components and more
efficient materials management. Our objective is to reduce
inventories further by improving the effectiveness of materials
management, procurement and forecast practices.
The roles of various factories will be separated as much as possible
to achieve the largest possible efficiency.
Financing and cash flow
The Group's equity ratio was 27.4% (33.3%). Interest-bearing net
liabilities totalled EUR 18.6 million (EUR 18.3 million) and the
gearing ratio was 151.1% (106.5%). Net financial expenses were EUR
0.43 million (EUR 0.35 million) and depreciation and amortisation
expense was EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.8 million). We will endeavour to
improve liquidity first and foremost by improving the management of
working capital. Trade receivables decreased from the turn of the
year and there were no credit losses during the report period.
The Group's equity at the close of the report period was EUR 12.3
million (EUR 17.2 million). Debt totalled EUR 32.6 million (EUR 34.5
million), of which interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 19.9 million
(EUR 18.9 million).
The Group's quick ratio was 0.6 (0.6) and the current ratio was 1.3
(1.4). Cash flow from operations was EUR 0.8 million (EUR 1.8
million) and the change in cash and cash equivalents was an increase
of EUR 0.8 million (a decrease of EUR 0.3 million).
In order to finance investments and working capital in India, Incap
accepted in January the funding of EUR 1.9 million from Finnfund
(Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation Ltd.). For the Indian
subsidiary, the investment comprises equity financing. Due to the
terms and conditions of the loan, the investment is regarded as a
long-term loan in the Group's IFRS financial statement.
Capital expenditures
The Group's capital expenditures during the report period amounted to
EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.7 million).
Personnel
At the end of March 2009, Incap Group had 713 employees (727 at the
start of the year). The average number of employees was 728. At the
end of the report period, 41 persons were temporarily laid off.
Operations were adjusted to the reduced demand by agreeing on
reductions in working time and the exchange of holiday bonus for time
off. These measures will mostly take place during the second quarter
of the year.
Decisions of the Annual General Meeting
Incap Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held in Helsinki on 3
April 2009. The AGM approved the Group's 2008 financial statements
and discharged from liability the persons responsible for accounts.
No dividend was paid for 2008.
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide within one year
of the AGM on the increase of share capital through one or more
rights issues so that the maximum number of total shares issued under
the authorisation is 1,200,000.
The AGM re-elected Kalevi Laurila, Susanna Miekk-oja, Jukka Harju and
Kari Häyrinen as members of the Board of Directors. Lassi Noponen was
elected to the Board of Directors as a new member. The Board of
Directors elected from among its members Kalevi Laurila as Chairman
and Susanna Miekk-oja as Deputy Chairman.
Ernst & Young Oy was selected again as the company's auditor.
Shares and shareholders
Incap Corporation has one series of shares and the number of shares
in 12,180,880. During the report period, the share price fluctuated
between EUR 0.43 and EUR 0.68 and the last closing price of the
period was EUR 0.47. During the report period, the trading volume was

At the end of the report period, the company had 1,018 shareholders.

company's market capitalisation on 31 March 2009 was EUR 5.7 million.
The company does not own any of its own shares.
The industry classification of Incap's shares changed in February
2009 due to a reform in the revenue structure. The share's new code
is Industrial Products and Services and the industry code is 20104010
(Electrical Components and Equipment).
Share-based incentive programmes
Incap Corporation's Board of Directors launched an option programme
in February 2009 which includes a total of 600,000 option rights
entitling to subscribe 600,000 shares of Incap Corporation. The CEO
was awarded 100,000 options in February. In addition, he will be
awarded a maximum of 100,000 options in 2010 if the objectives set by
the Board of Directors for the company's operating profit and return
on working capital are achieved in 2009. A maximum of 400,000 options
will be awarded to the company's key personnel in two issues if the
objectives set by the Board of Directors for the company's operating
profit and return on working capital are achieved in 2009 and 2010
and each of the key personnel meet their own individual objectives.
Short-term risks and factors of uncertainty concerning operations
The risks and factors of uncertainty relating to Incap's operations
are described in more detail in the report by the Board of Directors
dated 24 February 2009, and no material changes have taken place with
regard to these factors during the report period.
The most significant short-term risks are connected to the volume and
profitability of business as well as to the financing arrangements.
Incap's sales are spread over several customer sectors, which hedges
the company against sharp seasonal changes. The outlook to the market
is however very short.
In contract manufacturing, the management of material and personnel
costs have a remarkable impact on the competitive edge. Incap aims at
managing this risk by continuously monitoring the operational
efficiency and cost levels.
The general development in the financial market and the future
profitability trend affect the company's financing position. Incap
aims at securing its liquidity through efficient management of
working capital, and different financing options will be assessed for
lowering the financing costs.
Outlook
Incap's estimates of future business development are based on its
customers' forecasts and the company's own evaluations. The general
economic uncertainty has been reflected in Incap's operations so that
some customers have downgraded their forecasts, but there have been
no actual cancellations of orders.
Incap maintains its earlier estimate of the company's development in
2009 and forecasts that the Group's revenue in 2009 will be lower
than in 2008 when it was EUR 93.9 million. Full-year operating profit
(EBIT) is estimated to improve clearly from 2008 (EUR -3.6 million).
