The accounting principles for the half-year report
This half-year report has been prepared in accordance with international
financial reporting standards (IFRS) - IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
standard. When preparing the release, the same principles have been used as in
the 2016 financial statement. Unless otherwise stated, the comparison figures
refer to the same period in the previous year. The information in this half-year
financial report is unaudited.


Ville Vuori, President and CEO of Incap Group:

"Our business grew in the first half of the year according to our expectations
and especially the second quarter of the year was excellent both in terms of
revenue and the operating profit. Equity keeps improving, though it was not yet
visible in equity ratio as inventory and receivables were peaking at the
measuring point due to the growing business. The financing position of the
company is good.

In India the new Goods and Services Tax was introduced as from 1 July 2017. The
implementation required some additional effort from us and caused some delays in
transactions between companies. The transfer went finally relatively smoothly.
We prepared for the change and eventual delays by increasing the inventory
volumes towards the end of June.

Performance in the Indian operations continued strong. This year the business
unit in Tumkur has been a part of the Incap Group since 10 years and it has had
a significant role in the internationalization and development of Incap's
operations. The extension of the factory was taken successfully into use and the
increased capacity enables the acquisition of new customers and production of
new products.

Operations of the factory in Estonia have stabilized being on the track of
profitable growth. As an act of development the company has updated its
operations to meet with the latest Medical manufacturing ISO 13485/2016
certificate that is needed in the manufacture of medical devices.

Currency fluctuations have had no significant effect on the revenue or
profitability.

The pressure from customers on the price reduction and the increased costs for
raw-materials at the same time are challenging us also in future. I trust that
we can with our efficient and lean operational model grow our business further
while at the same time keeping the profitability at the present good level. The
market outlook is good at the moment and I trust that our active operations
aimed at realizing organic growth will produce successful results."

Incap Group's revenue and earnings in January-June 2017
Revenue for January-June amounted to EUR 23.8 million, showing an increase of
33% year-on-year (1-6/2016: EUR 17.9 million) and being 15% higher than in the
latter half of the year 2016 (7-12/2016: EUR 20.8 million). The growth was
mainly caused by the increased manufacturing volumes in the Estonian factory.

The operating profit (EBIT) for January-June amounted to EUR 2.3 million,
improving slightly when compared with the corresponding period last year (EUR
2.2 million) and the second half of 2016 (EUR 2.2 million). The operating profit
margin for the report period amounted to 10%, which is generally considered to
be a good level in the business of electronics manufacturing services.

Weakening of the Indian Rupee in relation to Euro lowered the revenue by
approximately EUR 0.6 million and the operating profit by approximately EUR
0.06 million.

Personnel expenses in the report period increased in line with the growing
business volumes and amounted to approximately EUR 2.0 million (EUR 1.7
million). The value of inventories increased to EUR 8.0 million based on the
growth of business volumes and the renewed taxation in India (EUR 5.9 million).
In the most significant post-independence reform of Indian taxation various
indirect taxes are integrated into a single Goods and Services Tax. The reform
will improve the local business environment of enterprises.

Net financial expenses amounted to EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3 million).
Depreciation amounted to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million).

Net profit for the period was EUR 1.6 million (EUR 1.3 million). Earnings per
share were EUR 0.36 (EUR 0.29).

Announcements in accordance with Section 10 of Chapter 9 of the Securities
Market Act on a change in holdings
The company had during the report period no announcements according to Section
10 of Chapter 9 of the Securities market Act.

Events after the end of the report period
The company announced after the end of the report period on 17 July 2017 that
Ville Vuori, President and CEO of the company, has resigned and informed that he
will pursue his career in the service of another company. The search for a
successor has already been initiated and the target is to fill the position as
soon as possible. In order to ensure a smooth transition period Ville Vuori will
continue in his position until his replacement has been selected.

Short-term risks and factors of uncertainty concerning operations
General risks related to the company's business operations and sector include
the development of customer demand, price competition in contract manufacturing,
successful acquisition of new customers, availability and price development of
raw material and components, sufficiency of funding, liquidity and exchange rate
fluctuations.

The company's financial position is good and the sufficiency of financing and
working capital are posing no remarkable risk. Based on the cash flow
calculation prepared in connection with the half-year financial report the
company estimates that the working capital of the company will meet with the
demand for the forthcoming 12 months.

In the definition of internal transactions the actual value added and the so-
called "arm's length" principle are considered. After the cumulative losses in
India were covered during the latter half of 2015, it is possible to repatriate
profits of the Indian subsidiary also through distribution of dividends.

The value of the shares in subsidiaries in the parent group has a significant
impact on the parent company's equity and therefore on, for example, equity
ratio. Based on the value calculations in connection with the financial
statements for 2016 there is no need to decrease the value of the shares in
subsidiaries. However, the company estimates that there is a risk connected with
the valuation of the shares of the Estonian subsidiary because of the previous
unprofitable operations of the subsidiary. There is no similar risk connected
with the valuation of the business of the subsidiary in India.

Demand for Incap's services and the company's financial position are effected by
global economic trends and the fluctuation among Incap's customer industries.
Even though the business environment in 2017 is evaluated to continue
challenging, the general financial development is estimated to have no
remarkable negative effect on the demand or the solvency of the company's
customers. The customer relationship management is of utmost importance in a
challenging market situation and the management is paying special attention to
it.

The company's sales are spread over several customer sectors balancing out the
impact of the economic fluctuation in different industrial sectors. In 2016,
there were three customers in the Group with a revenue exceeding 10% of the
total revenue of the Group. The combined revenue of these customers was 73% of
the Group's revenue.

The company's operating segment, electronics manufacturing services, is highly
competitive and there are major pressures on cost level management. The company
has succeeded in increasing the efficiency of its operations and in lowering the
costs remarkably. Furthermore, the company's production is located in countries
with competitive levels of wage and general costs.

The most significant exchange rate risk of the company is related to the Indian
subsidiary. A remarkable part of the Group's operations is located in India. The
fluctuation in the exchange rates between Indian Rupee and Euro may have a
remarkable effect on revenue and result.

The Indian subsidiary of the company had a tax audit in 2016, and based on that
the tax authorities do not approve the depreciations made on the capitalized
customer contracts during accounting periods 2008/2009-2012/2013 and the
transfer costs during the accounting period 2011/2012. The estimated tax effect
with eventual increases is amounting to a total of EUR 0.4 million. The company
has raised a complaint on these tax issues and is presenting the tax debt in the
off balance sheet liabilities in the balance sheet.

Strategy and targets
The positive development of profitability has enabled the strong development of
the company aiming at ensuring the future growth. The operational model of the
company has been adjusted to great efficiency enabling fast decision-making and
operational flexibility. In 2017 the company is targeting at growing the volume
of business further and at creating prerequisites for the expansion of
operations also by mergers and acquisitions.

Outlook for 2017
Incap's estimates for future business development are based both on its
customers' forecasts and on the company's own assessments.

The company estimates that the Group's revenue in 2017 will be approximately EUR
45-50 million and that the operating profit (EBIT) in 2017 is somewhat higher
than in 2016, provided that there are no major changes in exchange rates. The
Group's revenue in 2016 was EUR 38.6 million and the operating profit (EBIT) EUR
4.4 million.

Previously on 16 May 2017 the company estimated that the revenue in 2017 would
be higher than in 2016 and the operating profit (EBIT) somewhat higher than in
2016.

Incap will publish a financial business report for January-September 2017 on
Tuesday, 14 November 2017.
