TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY TO 31 MARCH 2008                   


- Net sales amounted to EUR 27.2 (31.4) million, a fall of 13.4% over the year  
of comparison.                                                                  
- Operating profit stood at EUR 0.9 (2.8) million, a fall of 68.5% over the     
previous year; undiluted result per share equalled EUR 0.03 (0.11) per share.   
- Orders received amounted to EUR 29.4 (36.4) million, a fall of 19.2% over the 
year of comparison.                                                             
- Orders received by Broadband Cable Networks stood at EUR 26.0 (32.7) million, 
a fall of 20.5% over the year of comparison. Operating profit weakened.         
- Orders received by Video Networks stood at EUR 3.3 (3.6) million, a fall of   
8.0% over the year of comparison. Operating profit improved.                    


Decline in Net Sales and Profit                                                 

Net sales fell as expected and ended up at EUR 27.2 (31.4) million. Net sales   
stood at 13.4% below the period of comparison, which included an EttH delivery  
of approximately EUR 5 million to South Korea.                                  

Year-on-year operating profit fell standing at EUR 0.9 (2.8) million, which is  
3.2% (8.9%) of net sales.                                                       

Weakening in the operating profit was mainly caused by diminished net sales.    
Undiluted result per share equalled EUR 0.03 (EUR 0.11). Orders received        
diminished over the previous year standing at EUR 29.4 (36.4) million. Order    
backlog totalled EUR 23.7 (33.3) million. No essential delays in deliveries     
related to the production capacity or availability of materials occurred at the 
end of the period under review.                                                 

Changes in Group Structure                                                      

Teleste improved its standing as a supplier of IPTV solutions by acquiring the  
Finnish Ortikon Interactive Oy in the beginning of February. The acquisition    
will not have an essential effect on Teleste's financial figures for 2008.      

Business Areas                                                                  

Net sales of Broadband Cable Networks stood at EUR 23.0 (28.0) million remaining
18.0% below the previous year. Net sales for the year of comparison included    
deliveries of Ethernet to the Home (EttH) to South Korea for approximately EUR 5
million. Volumes delivered to France based on frame agreements were as expected.
Operating profit stood at EUR 0.9 (3.3) million making 3.9% (11.8%) of the net  
sales. Weakened profitability was the result of diminished net sales. Orders    
received by the Broadband Cable Networks decreased over the year of comparison  
amounting to EUR 26.0 (32.7) million. Orders received for the year of comparison
include delivery of amplifiers to Germany of EUR 5 million. Order backlog       
totalled EUR 22.2 (31.5) million. Ortikon Interactive Oy acquired in February   
2008 strengthens the provision of IPTV solutions for the business area.         

Net sales of Video Networks grew by 23.9% over the year of comparison standing  
at EUR 4.2 (3.4) million. Operating profit was EUR -0.02 (-0.5) million in the  
red. Orders received by Video Networks fell by 8.0% amounting to EUR 3.3 (3.6)  
million. New orders failed to accumulate as expected due to slow decision-making
in the public sector. Prospect list of fairly sizeable project deliveries       
remains on a sound level. Order backlog totalled EUR 1.5 (1.9) million.         

Significant Short-Term Risks and Uncertainty Factors for the Business Areas     

Increased insecurity concerning the world economy may undermine the demand for  
Teleste products. Significant strengthening of the euro against the US dollar   
may erode Teleste's competitiveness.  Ownership rearrangements among our        
clientele may slow down the folding out of network investments in the business  
of Broadband Cable Networks. Strengthening of order backlog for Video Networks  
is dependent on timing of public sector decisions. Introduction to the market of
new competing technologies is a characteristic risk factor for both of our      
business areas.                                                                 

Personnel                                                                       

The Group employed 686 people at the end of March (2007:639, 2006: 569), out of 
which 461 (448 and 405) were stationed in Finland. The stated number does not   
include temporary labour of 37 (78 and 25) at the end of March.                 

R&D and Investments                                                             

The number of persons working in R&D related assignments was 158 (145 and 124). 
The R&D expenditure for the review period totalled EUR 3.2 (2.9) million making 
11.8% (9.5%) of net sales. Activated R&D expenses stood at EUR 0.8 (0.5) million
and depreciation on previous activation items equalled EUR 0.4 (0.3) million.   
Investments for the Group totalled EUR 1.0 (2.5) million and involved mainly    
product development. Acquisition of Ortikon Interactive Oy is included in the   
investments.                                                                    

Finance                                                                         

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 0.6 (1.0) million. In the period under review  
inventories were reduced by EUR 1.4 million. EUR 2.0 million of new             
interest-bearing loan was taken so that the total interest-bearing debt at the  
end of March amounted to EUR 11.7 (12.3) million. At the end of the period under
review the company liquid funds stood at EUR 8.8 (8.9) million. At the end of   
the review period the amount of unused stand-by credits amounted to EUR 21.0    
(20.0) million. These stand-by credits will be due in November 2008. The company
has started negotiations on a new financing solution. The Group's gearing was   
6.2% (8.4%) and the equity ratio was 60.0% (50.5%).                             

Teleste hedges main exchange rate risks of forecasted currency flows for six    
months ahead.                                                                   

Shares and Shareholders                                                         

In the period under review the trading price of shares fluctuated between EUR   
5.90 (9.99) and EUR 7.49 (12.34). The closing price at the end of March was EUR 
6.78 (11.50). According to the Finnish Central Security Depository the number of
shareholders at the end of the period was 5,193 (5,401). Foreign ownership      
accounted for 18.7% (20.5%). The value of shares traded on OMX Nordic Exchange  
was EUR 23.4 (24.7) million while the number thereof equalled 3.5 (2.2) million.

At the end of March Teleste held 344,721 of the company's own shares. In the    
period under review 7,761 own shares were conveyed to the Management Team share 
bonus scheme.                                                                   

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting                                         

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 1 April 2008 confirmed the financial        
statements for 2007 and discharged the Board and the CEO from liability for the 
financial period. The AGM confirmed the Board's proposed dividend of EUR 0.24   
per share. The dividend was paid out on 15 April 2008.                          

The AGM decided that the Board of Directors shall consist of six members. Mr.   
Tapio Hintikka was re-elected as Chairman of the Board whilst Mr. Tero          
Laaksonen, Mr. Pertti Raatikainen, Mr. Timo Toivila and Mr. Pekka Vennamo       
continue as members on the Board of Directors. Mr. Kai Telanne was elected new  
member of the Board.                                                            

Authorised Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next 
AGM.                                                                            

The AGM authorised the Board to acquire the maximum of 1,400,000 of the         
company's own shares and to convey the maximum of 1,744,721 company's own       
shares. Based on authorisations of 2001 and 2002 the company is in the          
possession of 344,721 of its own shares. The AGM also authorised the company to 
issue 5,000,000 new shares. The maximum number of shares that may be subscribed 
with the special rights granted by the Company is 2,000,000 shares.             

These authorisations will be valid until the AGM due to be held in 2009.        

Outlook                                                                         

In our view the business area of Broadband Cable Networks will grow towards the 
end of the current year. Growth prospects for the year are supported by the     
on-going solid deliveries based on frame agreements, growth in the demand for   
next generation broadband solutions (EttH/Fttx), deliveries of IP headend       
products and the increasing demand for services provided by the business area.  
Price competition in the markets of the business area will increase further     
still, driven particularly by the weak US dollar.                               

In our perspective, due to the strong prospect list involving large-scale       
traffic control and security surveillance solutions, growth of the Video        
Networks business area will continue for the entire year.                       

Business predictability has become more difficult due to the increased          
uncertainty in the world economy. We believe the market situation for our lines 
of business to remain active and that Teleste will continue on its path of      
profitable growth in the medium term perspective. As to the current year we     
estimate the orders received to pick up, but due to the dip in the beginning of 
the year, net sales and profitability may remain level with the last year.      

In spite of the short-term risks to profitability caused by the uncertainty     
factors in the world economy, affecting also Teleste, the company will continue 
its efforts in the chosen priority areas of products (such as EttH and IP       
headend) and services that ensure profitable growth in the future.              


Teleste's interim report for the January - June period will be published on 15  
July 2008.
