REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2008
MAJOR EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR
Neomarkka has executed the new strategy since June 2007. According to the
strategy, Neomarkka is an investment company that targets long-term industrial
investments. Target of the investments in industry is to raise the return on the
invested capital by developing the companies involved. Returns are sought both
through dividend flow and an increase in value.
Assets that are waiting to be invested in line with the strategy have been
primarily invested in either fund-based securities or short-term money markets.
Industrial private equity investments; Cables
The growth of Reka Cables continued. During the first half of the year the
profitability also improved. However, the growth was limited and the
profitability weakened by the strong decrease in the prices of the metals at the
end of the year and by the delayed extension of Riihimäki factory.
Riihimäki medium- and high voltage factory extension was completed in December
2008. Due to the delayed and prolonged machinery and equipment deliveries,
installations and changes due to the installations, the production capacity was
reduced and thus customer needs could not be fully satisfied. The delay also
caused turbulence in the production process. The quality costs and extra costs
occurred due to the delay weakened the operating profit.
The prices of the metals have been very volatile during the year. The rapid and
deep decrease in the world market price of the metals during the end of the year
burdened the operating profit for over EUR 5.0 million of which EUR 4.0 million
realised in the fourth quarter.
In August Neomarkka bought a majority of the shares of Russian cable
manufacturer OAO Expocable. OAO Expocable produces special cables e.g. for the
use of oil and gasworks. The acquisition strengthened the competition position,
expanded the coverage of Neomarkka in Russia and enabled the development of the
factory area in Podolsk. The company is situated next to the power cable factory
of Reka Cables in Russia.
An investment decision of close to EUR 20 million was made in August to develop
the cable production in Russia. The amount includes machinery and equipment
purchases, enlargement of the factory building and changes in the factory area
and the acquisition of OAO Expocable. Except for the purchase of OAO Expocable
the project is in the planning phase.
The generally tightened financial situation at the year-end was shown
particularly in the market situation in Russia. Power cable projects were
postponed and their exact implementation timetables are not known at this phase.
The competitors have given record high price-cuts to improve their weakened
liquidity situation. Due to this the production of Reka Cables power cable
factory has been adjusted to work only based on the customer orders. The
tightened economic situation in Russia did not affect to the order book of OAO
Expocable; due to the already high usage of capacity the acknowledgements of
orders had to be even limited. The fourth quarter of the year of OAO Expocable
was profitable. Russia´s share of the turnover during the period under review
was EUR 17.7 million. OAO Expocable figures are taken into account since 1
August 2008.
At the year-end the Russia´s rubel (RUB) was weakened intensively. This reduced
the balance sheet values of companies in Russia and thus affected to the whole
Group balance sheet values. This also decreased the financial result of the
Group, thus part of the purchases of the companies, such as raw materials, are
priced in Euros or US dollars. The rate differences of the Group internal long
term loans are booked as translation differences in the Shareholders´ equity.
These translation differences were in total EUR -1.7 million at the end of the
year.
The turnover of cable business was EUR 116.6 million in year 2008. The figure
includes the turnover of OAO Expocable from 1 August 2008 to 31 December 2008.
In the Q3 Interim Report the turnover of 2008 was estimated to be some what less
than EUR 120 million. The operating profit remained slightly positive, and was
EUR 0.6 million. The decrease in the prices of the metals has affected to the
operating profit more than expected.
Reka Cable Group (Reka Cable Ltd and its subsidiaries) has belonged to the cable
business of Neomarkka Group since 1 June 2007.
The following figures are comparable:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| REKA KAAPELI | 1-12/2008 | 1-12/2007 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Turnover, EUR million | 113.5 | 97.4 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Operating profit, EUR million | 1.3 | 5.2 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The associated company Nestor Cables Ltd´s machinery installations were delayed
and the entry on the market took place later than planned. The customers
decreased their inventories in the autumn and at the year-end. The delay in
starting the production and the changes in demand weakened the result and the
liquidity of the company. The deep decrease in the metal prices affected also to
the valuation of inventories and thus to the result of Nestor Cables Ltd. The
loss has been included in the Group result according to share of ownership
(30%).
Investments in securities
The gains and losses from the financial assets during the period under review
were negative and the segment made operating losses. The losses were due to the
decreased value of the bonds issued by the Nordea Bank Plc. The return on bonds
took into account the return from the eQ Active Hedge Fund reduced by the costs
arising from the loan. Neomarkka detached from the bonds on 30 June 2008. The
costs incurred from the detach made earlier than what agreed in the agreement
has been included to the financial figures.
At the balance sheet date the funds were invested in fixed-period deposits.
Regarding private equity, Oulun Puhelin Plc gave refund of capital to its´
shareholders´, Neomarkka Group´s share was EUR 0.3 million. The refund of
capital decreased the value of available-for-sale financial assets in the
balance sheet. There were no changes in ownership of private equity during the
period.
The total profits and losses on securities investments in 2008 were EUR -0.5
million and the operating loss was EUR 1.8 million.

ASSESSMENT OF UNCERTAINTY FACTORS AND BUSINESS RISKS
The main financial risks of Neomarkka are currency, interest rate, commodity,
liquidity, credit and investment market-risks. These financial risks and their
hedging measures are explained further in the notes.
In accordance with the updated strategy of 2007, future risk factors are more
closely tied to trends in the business operations of a small number of portfolio
companies and to normal business risks. The previous strategy based Neomarkka's
risk on a widely distributed market risk. The distributed market risk means that
changes in the value of investment underlying the eQ active Hedge Fund will have
a substantial impact on Neomarkka's financial result.
The most significant risks at Reka Cables are the fluctuation in raw material
costs and more rapid changes in customer behaviour than in the past. In order to
be aware of the risks and prepare for them, Reka Cables Ltd has carried out an
extensive risk-charting process. Activities has been developed according to the
risk-charts.
The company believes that the cable markets in Russia will grow and develop and
has invested heavily in exploiting the business opportunities there. These
investments include a risk that the growth in Russia will not take place
according to expectations.
Nestor Cables Ltd's business carries cable business risks and the risks involved
in starting up a new company.
Comments made in this report that do not refer to actual facts that have already
taken place are future estimates. Such estimates include expectations concerning
market trends, growth and profitability, and statements that include the terms
‘believe', ‘assume', ‘will be', or a similar expression. Since these estimates
are based on current plans and estimates, they involve risks and uncertainty
factors which may lead to results differing substantially from current
statements. Such factors include 1) operating conditions, e.g. continued success
in production and consequent efficiency benefits, availability and cost of
production inputs, demand for new products, changing circumstances in respect of
the acquisition of capital under acceptable conditions; 2) circumstances in the
sector such as the intensity of demand for products, the competition, current
and future market prices for the Group's products and related pricing pressures,
the financial situation of the Group's customers and competitors, competitors'
possible new competing products and 3) the general economic situation such as
economic growth in the Group's main geographical market areas or changes in
exchange rates and interest rates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDEND POLICY
Neomarkka's target is to use at least 30% of its annual net profit for dividend
payments.
MAJOR EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
The volatility in the metal prices has continued strong.
Reka Cables Ltd started the co-operation negotiations in January. Reka Cables
Ltd is taking precautions to adjust its activities according to the changes in
the market situation.
The public purchase offer regarding OAO Expocable shares has ended. Along with
the purchase offer Neomarkka´s share of ownership in the company increased from
81.27% to 83.34%.
PROSPECTS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE
The volume of the Neomarkka´s cable business is significantly tight on one hand
with building and on the other hand with replacement and enlargement of
electrical networks. The fluctuations of demand and exchange rates are difficult
to foresee at this phase. Instead the decrease of the metal prices seems to have
ended. Our target is to give more specific guidance in our first quarter interim
report.
From the point of implementing the strategy of Neomarkka the recession opens new
possibilities even though the financing of acquisitions may appear to be
challenging in this market situation.
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Board of Directors decided that the Annual General Meeting will be held on
10 June 2009 at 12.00 in Hyvinkää. The summons to the Annual General Meeting
will be published on 7 May 2009.
