MARKETS

Customer industries
The worldwide economic problems in the first half of 2009 had
repercussions on the demand for electronics in all market areas and
therefore also on Okmetic's customer industries. The sensor industry,
where typical annual growth had previously been around 10 percent,
now experienced a rare drop in demand as a result of the economic
downturn. At the beginning of the year sales of sensor wafers
remained at the same level as a year ago. The market situation in the
semiconductor industry was weak. In the first six months of the year,
global invoicing in the sector remained substantially below the
previous year's levels.

Silicon wafer industry
The difficult market situation in the customer industries also
affected the demand for silicon wafers. Demand fell significantly in
the first quarter due to clients decreasing their stock levels. In
the second quarter, some of the demand consisted of replenishing
these stocks. Total silicon wafers deliveries decreased significantly
compared to the corresponding period a year ago.

Okmetic
Okmetic's sales of sensor wafers remained almost at the same level as
a year ago, despite the difficult market situation. Sales of
semiconductor wafers decreased significantly in the first quarter of
the year as a result of the global market situation. In the second
quarter of the year sales of semiconductor wafers increased
essentially compared to the first quarter.  Okmetic continued to
increase its market share in the main product areas.
Significant three-year technology sales project has been carried out
almost entirely. The project has been extremely successful.

PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

Customer industries
The market situation in the sensor industry is expected to remain
stable in the second half of the year. Total annual sensor sales are
expected to approach 2008 levels. Total sales of semiconductors are
expected to decrease about 20 percent from 2008 levels. Demand for
semiconductors suffered even more substantially in the first half of
the year, but at least the third quarter sales are expected to exceed
the level at the beginning of the year.

Silicon wafer industry
The general consensus in the industry is that sensor and
semiconductor manufacturers have already started to replenish their
wafer stocks in preparation for partial normalisation of demand.
However, total silicon wafer deliveries globally are projected to
remain well below 2008 in 2009. The gradual market recovery is
expected to reflect to wafer demand in the rest of the year.

Okmetic
Okmetic specialises in the manufacture of demanding sensor wafers and
is the global market leader and a pioneer in technological
development in this respect.  This creates a sound basis for the
company and substantial growth potential when the wafer industry is
returning to a growth track. Forecasts suggest this upturn should
happen in 2010. In the second half of 2009 Okmetic's sensor wafer
deliveries will be aligned to general market trends and remain at the
level of the first half of the year. Okmetic's semiconductor wafer
deliveries are projected to grow substantially in the second half of
the year compared with the first. Due to the nearly completed major
technology project and the low recycling price of silicon, technology
sales in the second half of the year are forecasted to remain well
below first half sales levels.

The market situation being as it is, there is great uncertainty
concerning the estimate on net sales and performance in 2009. Net
sales for the year 2009 are expected to amount to around 54 million
euro. Operating profit is estimated to be slightly positive. Cash
flow from operating activities is expected to be clearly positive.
The group continues to adjust its expenses to the prevailing market
situation.

SALES

Okmetic's net sales in the first half of the year decreased by 16.6
percent from the previous year (increased by 3.3 %), amounting to
28.4 million euro (34.0 million euro). In the second quarter the net
sales amounted to 13.5 million euro (17.0 million euro). Decreasing
net sales at the end of 2008 followed on from the drastic downturn in
the semiconductor industry's market situation in particular.
Semiconductor wafers' market situation is estimated to improve in the
second half of the year. The company's share of its customers` wafer
sourcing continued to increase.

Net sales per customer area


                       1.1.-   1.1.-    1.1.-
                     30.6.09 30.6.08 31.12.08

Technology               40%     26%      25%


Okmetic's performance in the sensor market developed according to
objectives, although also the sensor sales remained slightly behind
the previous year. The use of sensors is expected to continue its
increase. Sensor applications are rapidly becoming more popular in
cameras and other consumer electronics products, for example, in
addition to the automotive industry and other traditional
applications.

The falling share of semiconductor sales in our total sales is the
result of the weak market situation, which is expected to improve in
the second half of the year. The most typical uses of semiconductor
wafers include consumer electronics, information technology,
telecommunications and the automotive industry.

Technology sales comprise not just manufacturing technology but also
crystal sales and occasional polysilicon recycling.  The significant
project in production technology started three years ago and it has
been carried out almost entirely. The project has been extremely
successful. The company is striving to close new technology deals by
the end of the year. The fluctuations in sales volume percentages per
customer area and market area are due to the nature of technology
sales and irregular income recognition schedule.

Net sales per market area

The exchange rates of the US dollar and Japanese yen against the euro
have an effect on the way net sales are distributed between different
market areas.

PROFITABILITY

Okmetic group's profit for the period was 1.1 million euro (4.1
million euro) in January-June 2009. In the second quarter the profit
for the period was 0.0 million euro (2.4 million euro). Earnings per
share were 0.06 euro (0.24 euro). The company's profits were burdened
by the low operating rate resulting from the market situation in
semiconductor wafers. Profits are also suffering as a result of the
substantially lower recycling price received for silicon in the
current market situation. All the costs have been adjusted to the
prevailing market situation in the group.

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

The group's financial situation is good. The group's cash and cash
equivalents exceeded the interest-bearing liabilities by 2.9 million
euro (6.2 million euro lower). The net cash flow from operating
activities in the first half of the year amounted to 4.3 million euro
(5.8 million euro) and in the second quarter to 4.8 million euro (3.5
million euro). In June the company paid, in line with its
amortisation programme, 1.0 million euro in capital loan instalments
and associated interest. The company has no subordinated loans
anymore.

A total of 1.4 million euro was invested in refurbishing production
equipment. The company received 0.6 million euro from the sale of
used machinery.

In April, the company paid a dividend of 0.8 million euro of the
profit accrued in 2008.

At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 17.2
million euro (13.1 million euro). Return on equity amounted to 4.2
percent (17.6 %). The group's equity ratio was 67.7 percent (60.1 %).
Shareholders' equity per share amounted to 2.99 euro (2.79 euro).

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The company invested 1.2 million euro (1.1 million euro) in long-term
product development projects during the financial period. Product
development accounted for 4.3 percent (3.1 %) of the net sales.
Okmetic engaged in several strategic research projects. R&D work
focused on sensor wafers which are important to Okmetic.

PERSONNEL

On average, Okmetic employed 340 people (361). At the end of the
period, 309 of the group's employees worked in Finland, 31 in the US
and three in Japan. Majority of the company's personnel in Finland
were temporarily laid off from one to six weeks in February-June
2009. Foreign group units have also adjusted staff numbers to the
prevailing market situation

BUSINESS RISKS

Okmetic's silicon wafer sales are targeted at the sensor and
semiconductor industries. The demand for semiconductor wafers is
sensitive to economic fluctuations and changes in the market
situation can be sudden and dramatic. The demand for sensor wafers is
significantly more stable and sales of sensor wafers are developing
favourably. The success of the sales strategy hinges on trouble-free
contract manufacturing.

Okmetic's share of the global silicon wafer market is around one
percent and the market prices have an effect on the price development
of the company's products. The majority of sales are conducted in US
dollars. The Japanese yen is another notable trading currency.
Despite hedging, the company remains exposed to exchange rate
fluctuations.

Great volumes of electricity are used in Okmetic's production. The
massive and long-term electricity hedging measures will have an
impact on the result for the period if the price of electricity
changes significantly.

SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT AND TRADING

A total of 2.3 million shares (3.9 million shares) were traded
between 1 January and 30 June 2009, representing 13.5 percent (23.1
%) of the share total of 16.9 million. The lowest quotation of the
period was 1.81 euro (2.20 euro) and the highest was 2.99 euro per
share (3.14 euro), with an average of 2.31 euro (2.63 euro). The
closing quotation for the period was 2.70 euro (2.55 euro). The total
market value of the share capital amounted to 45.6 million euro at
the end of the financial period (43.1 million euro).
