reorganisation programme, while at the same time creating

negative (EUR 2.7 million negative)
This unaudited interim report has been prepared in accordance with
international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Unless otherwise
stated, the comparison figures refer to the same period the previous
year.
Sami Mykkänen, the President and CEO of Incap Group: "The decrease in
revenue was due to a planned and controlled winding down of the
high-volume manufacturing of telecommunications products. Other
customer industries have developed positively, without any surprises.
We continued with our reorganisation and restructuring programme and
managed to cut costs and develop our business operations as planned
compared with the first half of last year. The increase in financing
costs continued to burden net profit.
The restructuring has proceeded as planned and we have made advances
in new customer acquisition. New inquiries are at an active phase in
India, in particular, where the quotation base and demand for design
services by global customers have grown sharply. The introduction of
modern production premises has further enhanced the opportunities for
business growth in India.
Improving profitability is still our key challenge, so we will
continue to adjust the production capacity, improve the efficiency of
materials management and cut fixed costs. At the same time we
continue with strong development of our business operations in
selected focus areas."
Revenue and earnings in April-June 2009
Revenue during the second quarter totalled EUR 16.9 million
(4-6/2008: EUR 26.4 million), or 36% less than in the same period in
2008. Decrease in revenue was due to the expected discontinuation of
volume production in telecommunications. Revenue developed positively
especially in well-being technology products, whose sales increased
in the second quarter compared with both the first quarter and the
corresponding period the previous year.
Operating profit for April-June was EUR 0.5 million negative (EUR 0.6
million negative), representing 2.8% negative (2.3% negative) of
revenue. Net profit for the second quarter amounted to EUR 1.0
million negative (1.0 million negative). In particular, net profit
was reduced by the increase in financing expenses by about 40%
compared with the same period the previous year. Earnings per share
were EUR 0.08 negative (EUR 0.08 negative).
Revenue and earnings in January-June 2009
Revenue for January-June totalled EUR 35.4 million (1-6/2008: EUR
46.7 million), or 24% less than in the same period in 2008.The main
reason behind the decline in revenue was the planned decrease in
revenue from the high-volume manufacturing of telecommunications
products by about EUR 9 million on the same period the previous year.
Revenue developed steadily in the strategic focus areas in energy
efficiency and well-being technology. Of the revenue for the first
half of the year, EUR 1.6 million represented the sale of materials
of products to be discontinued to customers.
Operating loss reduced by almost one half with operating profit
amounting to EUR 1.0 million negative (EUR 1.9 million negative),
representing 2.8% negative (4.1% negative) of revenue. The efficiency
measures in line with the reorganisation programme reduced costs,
fixed costs being EUR 1.6 million lower than in the same period the
previous year.
Net profit for the report period amounted to EUR 2.0 million negative
(EUR 2.7 million negative). Net profit was particularly affected by
the sharp increase in financing costs.
Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.16 negative (EUR 0.22 negative),
while equity per share stood at EUR 0.92 (EUR 1.31).

Development of operations
The demand for the Indian unit's services picked up, and the
quotation base showed strong growth. The new production facilities,
the modern capacity and extensive design services will improve the
unit's competitiveness further.
The value of inventories fell from EUR 16.2 million to EUR 14.1
million at the end of June. The positive development reflected both
the decrease in telecommunications component stocks and higher
efficiency in materials management.
The production capacity and the cost structure were adapted to the
market situation. The electronics factories adopted reduced working
hours. The work situation at the mechanical factories was good during
the report period, and the production of sheet-metal parts is
concentrated in Vaasa, while the Helsinki factory is focusing on
product assembly. Due to the decreased demand in certain mechanics
products, statutory cooperation negotiations concerning eventual
temporary lay-offs were launched in the Vaasa factory after the end
of the report period in August.
Incap is investigating possibilities to concentrate the company's
electronics production in Europe in the Kuressaare factory. For this
purpose, the company will during autumn explore if part of the
products manufactured in the Vuokatti factory can be transferred to
Kuressaare and if part of the operations could be taken over by a
third party.
Financing and cash flow
The Group's equity ratio was 26.4% (31.2%). Interest-bearing net
liabilities totalled EUR 18.6 million (EUR 19.2 million) and the
gearing ratio was 164.9% (120.4%). Net financial expenses stood at
EUR 0.99 million (EUR 0.76 million) and depreciation and amortisation
expense at EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.5 million). Incap aims to improve
liquidity primarily by enhancing working capital management. Trade
receivables continued to decline compared with the beginning of the
year, and no credit losses arose during the report period.
The Group's equity at the close of the report period was EUR 11.3
million (EUR 16.0 million). Debt totalled EUR 31.5 million (EUR 35.2
million), of which interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 19.3 million
(EUR 19.7 million).
The Group's quick ratio was 0.6 (0.7) and the current ratio 1.3
(1.3). Cash flow from operations was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 0.9
million), and the change in cash and cash equivalents was an increase
of EUR 73,000 (a decrease of EUR 0.4 million).
Capital expenditures
The Group's capital expenditures amounted to EUR 0.7 million (EUR 1.3
million). The majority of these were related to the operations of the
Indian company.
Personnel
Incap Group employed 757 people at the end of June (727 people at the
beginning of the year). The number of personnel in India increased by
49 persons and was 243 at the end of the report period. At the end of
June, 35 people were temporarily laid off.
Shares and shareholders
Incap Corporation has one series of shares, and the number of shares
in 12,180,880. During the period under review, the share price varied
between EUR 0.43 and EUR 0.99 and the last closing price of the
period was EUR 0.66. During the report period, the trading volume was

At the end of the report period, the company had 1,153 shareholders.

company's market capitalisation on 30 June 2009 was EUR 8.0 million.

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 significant changes have taken place
with regard to these factors during the report period.
The most significant short-term risks are connected with the volume
of business, the profitability as well as the financing.
Incap's sales are spread over several customer sectors, which hedges
the company against sharp seasonal changes. However, market
visibility is very limited.
The company's financial position is influenced by the trends in the
general financial market and the company's future earnings
development. Incap aims at ensuring the company's liquidity by
efficient working capital management and investigate different
financing options in order to enhance the financial position.
Outlook
Incap's estimates of the future business development are based on its
customers' forecasts and the company's own assessments. Customers'
views of the future market development vary, and the forecasts are
still very cautious.
In line with the earlier estimate, Incap expects that the Group's
revenue in 2009 will be lower than in 2008, when it totalled EUR 93.9
million. Operating profit for the latter half of the year is
estimated to be better than during the first half of the year.
Full-year operating profit (EBIT) is estimated to be clearly better
compared with 2008 (EUR 3.6 million negative).
