STROMSDAL CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 28 April 2008 at 11.30 hrs (Finnish time) INTERIM REPORT FOR JANUARY - MARCH 2008 - January-March net sales were EUR 14.5 million (EUR 13.4 million). - January-March pre-tax loss was EUR -1.4 million (EUR -1.3 million) - The company continued with its investment programme, which it started in 2007. The benefit of this investment programme is the improved quality control and efficiency in the production of Tecta food packaging paperboard. The capital expenditure for the January-March period amounted to EUR 2.4 million (EUR 0.8 million). MARKETS AND SALES The competition in the European paperboard markets was tight and the weakening of the US dollar and the pound sterling against the Euro makes the competition even more challenging. The average backlog for the period January-March was 8 days (10 days). The company focuses on high premium-quality graphical paperboards and on specialty paperboards like Tecta food packaging paperboards. Price increases will be done on the commodity paperboards, like Strom grades. In addition the company aims to reduce its currency risks by switching its invoicing currency from US dollar and pound sterling to Euro. NET SALES AND RESULTS Stromsdal Group´s consolidated net sales for January 1 - March 31 totalled EUR 14.5 million (EUR 13.4 million). Consolidated operating result was EUR -1.5 million (EUR -0.9 million). Net loss was EUR -1.5 million (EUR -1.3 million). The quantity of sales increased slightly compared to the same period in previous year. The order inflow was at satisfactory level, but the high share of commodity paperboards reduced the average sales price. The one week investment shut down in February weakened the result for the period. During the period the company has sold 2008 - 2012 excess pollution rights for EUR 0.6 million. The raw materials, especially pulp-, pulpwood- and energy prices rose significantly during the period compared to the same time in previous year. Total production was 15,900 tons (15,600 tons). The investment shut down in February reduced somewhat the production. FINANCIAL POSITION The operative cash flow was EUR 0.4 million (EUR -0.4 million). Cash flow from investments was EUR -1.8 million (EUR -0.3 million). In June 2006 Ministry of Trade and Industry granted the company an investment aid of EUR 1.5 million. The first part of the investment aid, EUR 0.5 million was received in March 2007, and the second one in February 2008 amounted to EUR 0.4 million. The remaining part, EUR 0.6 million, is planned to be received at the latest in June. The company has been granted a EUR 1.0 million loan to be used for capital expenditures. The company has agreed with its main financiers to postpone all 2008 debt payments. The company's cash flow will become tighter during summer, especially due to planned investments in June. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE The capital expenditures of the company continued and during January-March 2008 they amounted to EUR 2.4 million (EUR 0.8 million). The biggest investment which the company carried out in February was the improvements in quality control and efficiency when producing Tecta food packaging paperboard and developing the surface and printability properties of all coated grades. The extensive capital expenditure will come to an end with the June 2008 investments. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Further improvements in printability of the paperboard have been implemented. Development work of Tecta food packaging paperboard usages for new application areas has been carried out in a joint development program together with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. In February Stromsdal received the international FSC forest management and chain of custody certificate. Previously the company has received the PEFC certificate. The company is then able to ensure that the origin of the wood can be traced to sustainably managed forests. PERSONNEL During the period the company had an average 202 (208) employees. At the end of the period there were 205 (203) employees, of which, 187 employees were permanent and 18 employees were temporary staff. Financial Director Ms. Anna-Liisa Smolander resigned from Stromsdal in February 2008. On 19 February, 2008 Mr. Krister Björkqvist was nominated as Financial Director. In March the company outsourced the salary administration to Silta Oy. THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2008 The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Stromsdal Corporation (publ.) was held on 26 March 2008. The AGM resolved, due to the fact that the company made no profits during the financial period, that no dividend shall be distributed. The AGM elected six (6) members to the Board of Directors for a term ending on the conclusion of the AGM in 2009. Managing Director Mr. Harry Salonaho, Managing Director Mr. Alexander Ehrnrooth, Attorney of law Mr. Juhani Erma, Mayor Mr. Petri Kangasperko, and Project Manager Ms. Pirjo Repo were re-elected. Managing Director Mr. Eduard Paulig was elected as the new ordinary member. The meeting of the Board of Directors held immediately after the AGM elected Mr. Harry Salonaho as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors elected Mr. Juhani Erma (Chairman), Mr. Eduard Paulig, Ms. Pirjo Repo and Mr. Harry Salonaho to the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors elected Mr. Alexander Ehrnrooth (Chairman), Mr. Juhani Erma and Mr. Harry Salonaho to the Nomination Committee. Authorized Public Accounting Firm Ernst & Young Ltd, with Ms. Eija Niemi-Nikkola as auditor in charge, was re-elected the company's auditor for a term ending at the closing of the next AGM. The AGM resolved that the fund for unrestricted equity established in year 2002 (EUR 2,025,936.63) and the fund for invested unrestricted equity (EUR 5,100,399.45), total EUR 7,126,336.08, are used in full to cover the confirmed loss in the balance sheet. The AGM further resolved that the registered share capital of the company, EUR 10,102,906.80, is reduced without compensation by EUR 3,181,441.98 after which reduction the company's share capital to be registered will be EUR 6,921,464.82, which is divided into 27,515,399 shares. Of the amount of the share capital reduction, EUR 3,181,441.98 shall be used to cover the confirmed loss in the balance sheet in accordance with the provisions in Chapter 14, Section 1.1 of the Finnish Companies Act. No actions or measures are required by the shareholders. The changes in the share capital and in the share book value become effective upon registration. The reduction of share capital as resolved results into restriction on distribution of profits during the next three years according to Chapter 14, Section 2.2 of the Finnish Companies Act. The AGM resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuing of new shares of the company and on the right to transfer shares in the company that are in the possession of the company. The authorization includes the right to issue special rights as meant in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, which rights would entitle the holder to receive, against payment, new shares in the company or own shares of the company being in the possession of the company either by paying the subscription price in cash or by using a receivable from the company to set off the subscription price. A maximum amount of 20,000,000 new shares may be issued. A maximum amount of 1,100,000 own shares in the possession of the company may be transferred. In addition, the authorization includes the right to decide on a share issue to the company itself free of charge so that, as a result, the aggregate amount of shares issued to the company is a maximum of one tenth (1/10) of the total amount of shares in the company. This amount includes all the shares in the company being in the possession of the company itself or in the possession of any of its affiliated companies as set out in Chapter 15 Section 11 Paragraph 1 of the Finnish Companies Act. The Board of Directors is entitled to decide on any other issues related with the share issue. The authorization is in force for one year as of the decision of the AGM. The authorization revokes the authorization decided by the shareholder's meeting on 29 March 2007. NEAR FUTURE RISKS The prices of the main raw materials, electricity and transportation costs will increase the production costs and reduce the company's profitability. This negative impact will be compensated by investments and more efficient logistics-, sales- and production processes. The availability of pulpwood and short-fibre pulp is secured for the coming months, but the risk of Russia increasing the wood duties, would endanger the availability of pulpwood and short-fibre pulp, and would increase prices. Downward markets and unfavorable currency exchange rates, especially the US dollar and pound sterling have a negative impact on the profitability of the company. During the period the company has been able to reduce its US dollar dependence. Should the company's profitability and cash flow fail to improve in 2008, its financial standing and liquidity may deteriorate substantially. For more information on risk management, please turn to the Financial Statements in the company's Annual Report for 2007. FUTURE PROSPECTS The future prospects are based on general external financial indicators, order forecasts given by customers and on the company's order book. The company seeks to deliver positive EBITDA in 2008. The continuing rise in the prices of raw materials erodes profitability, however, but the company seeks to reduce the impacts of these through the investments executed and the more efficient operating models introduced. The possible softening of the market and unfavourable exchange rate development, especially in respect of the dollar and pound sterling, will also erode the company's financial performance. The financial results for the year 2008 will be negative. The investments implemented and the additional investments planned for June 2008, will improve the product quality level, the production output and will reduce the production cost level.
