Markku Hangasjärvi, President and CEO:                                          
“The number of chargers we delivered grew by 19% in the third quarter of the    
year compared with the corresponding period last year. Our net sales grew by    
some 6%. The net sales grew slower than the number of chargers delivered, mainly
due to the decline in sales prices. The decline in sales prices was influenced  
by changes in the product mix and tightening competition on the mobile phone    
charger market.                                                                 

The operating profit more than halved during the third quarter compared with the
same period last year. The weakening in the operating profit was mainly due to  
significant exchange rate losses. Especially the Indian rupee and the Brazilian 
real weakened considerably during the third quarter. In addition, the operating 
profit was burdened by lower gross margin due to lower sales prices.            

In order to strengthen our competitiveness we are continuing the already started
actions to lower our fixed costs, as well as improve our product cost structure 
and enhance our productivity.                                                   

According to market research institutes, some 310 million mobile phones were    
sold during the third quarter of the year, up 11% compared with the             
corresponding quarter last year. Salcomp's market share in the mobile phone     
chargers, some 23%, was up by one percentage unit compared with the             
corresponding quarter last year.                                                

According to estimates published by some of our key customers and various market
research companies, the mobile phone market is estimated to grow in volume by   
some 10% in 2008. However, the global financial crisis creates uncertainty      
regarding the development of the mobile phone market in 2009.”                  

Financial Development in July - September 2008                                  
Salcomp's net sales increased by 6% in July-September to EUR 74.8 million (EUR  
70.5 million in 7-9/2007). The increase resulted from the number of chargers    
delivered rising by 19% to 73.6 million (61.8 million) pieces. The market share 
in mobile phone chargers was approximately 23% (approximately 22%).             

Operating profit decreased by 62% to EUR 2.4 million (EUR 6.3 million).         
Profitability was weakened by realized and unrealized exchange rate losses of   
EUR 2.8 million. The exchange rate losses were related to sharp changes between 
the EUR, USD and currencies in the countries where Salcomp has production.      
Especially the Indian rupee and the Brazilian real weakened considerably during 
the third quarter. The exchange differences were mainly due to intragroup       
receivables and payables. In addition, the operating profit was burdened by     
lower gross margin compared with the comparison period, mainly due to the       
decline in sales prices. The sales prices were lowered due to changes in the    
product mix, as well as tightening competition in the mobile phone charger      
market.                                                                         

The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 1.3 million (EUR 0.9 million). The  
financial expenses for the third quarter include EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.1       
million loss) of losses due to the unrealized exchange rate differences in      
intragroup loans. Taxes for the period totaled EUR 1.1 million (EUR 1.1         
million). They include a deferred tax of EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.7 million)      
resulting from the parent company's tax-deductible goodwill amortization.       

The third-quarter net result amounted to EUR 0.0 million (EUR 4.3 million).     
Earnings per share were EUR 0.00 (EUR 0.11) and earnings per share, excluding   
the deferred tax, EUR 0.02 (EUR 0.13). Basic earnings per share were EUR 0.00   
(EUR 0.11).                                                                     

Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 3.7 million negative (EUR 1.5       
million positive) due to an increase in working capital. Cash flow from         
operating activities, excluding the change in selling of receivables, was EUR   
0.9 million negative (EUR 7.9 million positive).                                

Financial Development in January - September 2008                               
Net sales increased by 6% in January-September to EUR 213.7 million (EUR 202.2  
million in 1-9/2007). The number of chargers delivered increased by 15% to 208.6
million (180.8 million) pieces.                                                 

The Group's operating profit in January-September weakened by 41% to EUR 10.4   
million (EUR 17.5 million). Profitability was weakened by realized and          
unrealized exchange rate losses of some EUR 4.1 million. In addition, the       
operating profit was burdened by a decline in sales prices, as well as material 
costs which decreased slower than targeted, especially in the second quarter.   
Furthermore, the operating profit was weakened by higher fixed costs related to 
the capacity increase at the India plant during the first half of the year.     

The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 4.0 million (EUR 2.1 million). The  
financial expenses for the period include EUR 1.7 million (EUR 0.8 million      
profit) of losses due to the unrealized exchange rate differences in intragroup 
loans. Taxes for the period totaled EUR 3.6 million (EUR 3.0 million). They     
include a deferred tax of EUR 2.2 million (EUR 2.2 million) resulting from the  
parent company's tax-deductible goodwill amortization.                          

Salcomp's net result in January-September totaled EUR 2.9 million (EUR 12.4     
million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.07 (EUR 0.32) and earnings per share,   
excluding the deferred tax, amounted to EUR 0.13 (EUR 0.37). Basic earnings per 
share were EUR 0.07 (EUR 0.32).                                                 

Cash flow from operating activities in January-September amounted to EUR 0.8    
million positive (EUR 18.6 million positive). The cash flow from operating      
activities, excluding the change in selling of receivables, was EUR 8.5 million 
positive (EUR 14.1 million positive).                                           
The Group's equity ratio at the end of June was 35.1% (34.6%) and gearing was   
40.5% (61.8%). Net interest-bearing debt totaled EUR 27.1 million (EUR 38.8     
million) at the end of the period.                                              

R&D and Capital Expenditure                                                     
In January-September, the Group's R&D expenditure was EUR 4.2 million (EUR 3.6  
million), or 1.9% (1.8%) of net sales. R&D focused on developing new products   
for current and new customers, and constant improvement in the cost structure of
existing products.                                                              

Salcomp's extended Product Creation Centre at the Shenzhen plant in China was   
inaugurated in August. All Salcomp's R&D and sourcing functions in China have   
been centralized in the same building, and the personnel can utilize            
state-of-the-art premises and the new EMC measurement chamber which enables     
product testing completely in-house and, therefore, reduces product design cycle
time.                                                                           

Capital expenditure in January-September amounted to EUR 3.8 million (EUR 9.1   
million). The capital expenditure mainly involved boosting the production       
capacity.                                                                       

Personnel                                                                       
The Group employed 10,355 (9,241) people at the end of September: some 6,700 in

Salcomp's codetermination negotiations, which began in August, were concluded on
30 September 2008. The negotiations concerned all activities in Finland, and the

result of the negotiations, a total of 18 employments will be terminated. The   
Finnish activities will be centralized to Salo and the office in Kemijärvi will

Shares and shareholders

Risks and uncertainties in the near future                                      
Salcomp's business involves uncertainty factors that may affect the company's   
financial development in the near future. These include the general development 
of the mobile phone markets, substantial changes in the purchase prices of      
charger components and the competition in the mobile phone charger markets, and 
the standardization of mobile phone chargers, including USB-type chargers.      
Furthermore, consolidation of the customer base and deterioration in the        
financial position of a major customer or supplier may have a negative effect on
Salcomp's sales and profitability. Major changes in exchange rates can be       
considered a substantial uncertainty factor in the short term, especially the   
exchange rate of the US dollar in relation to the euro and to currencies in     
those countries in which Salcomp has production. Risks are managed to the extent
that the company has influence over them. Further details on risks and risk     
management are available in the Annual Report 2007.                             

Outlook for rest of the year                                                    
According to the estimates published by some of Salcomp's key customers and by  
various market research companies, the mobile phone market is expected to grow  
in volume by approximately 10% during 2008, compared with 2007.                 

Net sales in 2008 are expected to grow compared with 2007, but the operating    
profit in value is expected to be below the 2007 level.

OPTION RIGHTS                                                                   

During the financial year 2007 the General Meeting of Shareholders established  
an option program with totally 2,047,500 option rights that entitles to         
subscribe the same amount of new shares of the company. The option program is   
divided to symbols 2007A, 2007B and 2007C. The Board of Directors has, during   
the financial year, granted option rights (2007B) to the Group key personnel    
totaling 657,500 pcs. The share based incentives are conditional. The vesting   
conditions (relating to symbols 2007A and 2007B) are based on that the total    
shareholder return is at least 8% per annum. Options are lost when a person is  
leaving the company before the settlement period begins. The Board of Directors 
can decide in these cases that the stock option owner is entitled to keep the   
options or a part of them. The fair value has been determined by using the      
Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial model.
