INCAP GROUP INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2007: REVENUE INCREASED IN THE END OF THE PERIOD, PROFITABILITY TO BE IMPROVED



INCAP CORPORATION     STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 7 November 2007, 9 a.m.


  *  revenue was EUR 56.7 million (Jan.-Sep. 2006: EUR 65.3 million)
  * operating profit was EUR 1.7 million negative (3.2 million
positive)
  * net profit for the report period amounted to EUR 2.6 million
negative (3.6 million positive)
  * earnings per share were EUR 0.21 negative (0.30 positive)
  * revenue developed favourably after the sharp decline in the early
part of the year but fell short of the targets
  * costs related to internationalisation burdened the result

Juhani Hanninen, President and CEO of Incap Corporation:"Third-quarter revenue improved on the previous quarters but this was
not enough to compensate for the sharp decline in demand for
telecommunications products in the early part of the year.

The launch of operations in India was an important milestone in the
company's internationalisation according to strategy, and acquisition
of new customers in India has progressed well.

Our crucial objective is to improve profitability and secure positive
earnings development next year."

Accounting policies applicable to the interim report

This interim report has been prepared in compliance with the IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting standard, and the accounting policies are
in line with those of the annual financial statements. The operations
of the manufacturing unit in India have been consolidated with the
reported figures as of 1 June 2007, and as a result the figures
presented in this report are not comparable with those of the
corresponding period in 2006.

Revenue and financial performance in July-September

Third-quarter revenue increased by 7.7% on the previous quarter to
EUR 20.6 million. This represents a decline of 5.6% on the same
period last year.

Operating profit in July-September was EUR 0.6 million negative (0.6
million positive).

Development of operations

In the third quarter, Incap's revenue increased on the previous
quarters. A sharp decline in deliveries of telecommunications
products at the beginning of the year was reflected in revenue for
the entire report period. Third-quarter revenue was reduced by
difficulties in the supply of certain components and by the prolonged
start-up of certain new products.

New supply agreements with customers in various industries were
signed during the report period. The number of new products at
prototype and pre-production stages was higher than usual during the
third quarter.

The integration of the Indian manufacturing unit acquired in June
into the Group was completed on schedule in September, and
acquisition of new customers in India has started well.

After the report period, in October, Incap started to investigate the
possibility of selling its production and office facilities in
Helsinki, Vuokatti and Kempele. Following the possible divestment,
Incap would continue operations in the same premises as a
leaseholder. If realised, the sale of premises is estimated to have a
positive earnings effect.

Short-term risks and factors of uncertainty

Incap's sales are spread over several customer sectors, which hedges
the company against sharp seasonal changes. In accordance with its
strategy, the Group will continue to balance its customer base so
that the loss of a single customer or several customers from the same
sector does not expose the company to a significant financial risk.

The acquisition of a new business unit in India has increased the
Group's financing risk and exchange rate risk. Interest rate risk, as
well as the exchange rate risk associated with financing and
operations, are managed through a financing structure that is
balanced between the Group's main currencies.

Financing and cash flow

The Group's equity ratio was 31.2% (43.6%). Interest-bearing net
liabilities totalled EUR 22.0 million (12.4 million) and the gearing
ratio was 124.3% (60.0%). Net financial expenses were EUR 0.9 million
(0.3 million) and depreciation and amortisation expense was EUR 2.0
million (1.7 million). The Group's liquidity was satisfactory: the
quick ratio was 0.7 (0.9) and the current ratio 1.6 (1.7). Cash flow
was EUR 4.1 million negative (1.0 million negative) and the change in
cash and cash equivalents was an increase of EUR 1.0 million (a
decrease of 2.0 million).

The Group's equity at the close of the report period was EUR 17.7
million (20.6 million). Liabilities totalled EUR 39.1 million (26.7
million), of which interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 23.5
million (12.5 million).

Capital expenditures

The Group's capital expenditures excluding the business acquisition
in India totalled EUR 1.1 million (EUR 5.9 million), or about 1.9% of
revenue (9.0%).

Personnel

At the beginning of the period under review the Incap Group had a
payroll of 541 employees and at the end of the period it had 778
employees. The average number of personnel was 633 (509); 352
employees are based in Finland, 202 in Estonia and 224 in India.

577 were permanently employed staff and 201 fixed-term employees.
There were 6 part-time employment contracts at the end of the period.

Shares and shareholders

Incap has 12,180,880 shares on issue. The price of the Incap
Corporation share varied in the range of EUR 1.76 to EUR 2.67 during
the report period, and the closing share price on 30 September 2007
was EUR 1.85. The trading volume was 30% of outstanding shares.

At the end of the report period the company had 1,114 shareholders.
Foreign and nominee-registered owners held 16.3% of all shares. The
company's market capitalisation on 30 September 2007 was EUR 22.5
million.

Share options

The Incap Group currently runs a share option scheme that was
introduced in 2004 and commits key employees to long-term share
ownership. There are a total of 630,000 share options, entitling
their holders to subscribe for an equal number of shares. The share
options are divided into A, B and C warrants.

The share subscription period for warrants 2004A began on 1 April
2007 and will continue through to 30 April 2009. The subscription
period for shares to be subscribed for with the warrants will not
commence until the average price of the Incap share weighted by two
calendar months' trading volume is at least 3 euro.

Announcements in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 9, of the
Securities Market Act on changes in holdings

Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company announced that after
having purchased convertible bonds on 21 May 2007, its share of
Incap's share capital and votes would exceed 5% if the company
exercises the bonds to subscribe for new shares. The OP Bank Group
Central Cooperative announced that if mutual funds managed by its
subsidiary OP Fund Management Ltd were to exercise the subscription
rights associated with their convertible bond purchases in full, the
OP Bank Group Central Cooperative's ownership share would exceed 5%.

Transactions carried out after the report period on 9 and 10 October
2007 increased Etra Invest Oy's ownership share to 28.6%. Irish Life
International announced that it had divested its 9.5% stake through
transactions carried out on 10 October.

Outlook for the future

Incap's customers mostly forecast that their business will develop
favourably. However, market visibility is very short.

Incap expects that revenue in the final quarter of the year will be
higher than in the third quarter. The Group's full-year revenue in
2007 is forecast to be clearly lower than in 2006. Full-year
operating profit is estimated to be clearly negative.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT

Accounting policies applicable to the interim report
This interim report has been prepared in compliance with the IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting standard, and the accounting policies are
in line with those of the annual financial statements. The operations
of the manufacturing unit in India have been consolidated with the
reported figures as of 1 June 2007, due to which the figures
presented in this report are not comparable with those of the
corresponding period in 2006.

Acquired operations
Incap Corporation's subsidiary Incap Contract Manufacturing Services
Pvt. Ltd., established in India in April 2007, acquired a business
unit manufacturing electronics and integrated equipment from TVS
Electronics Limited on 31 May 2007. The number of personnel
transferred in the business acquisition was 230, and the company is
estimated to receive approximately EUR 6 million in revenue in 2007.
The total acquisition price was EUR 8.3 million, paid in cash. In
addition to the cash consideration, a total of EUR 0.5 million in
consultancy fees and other costs directly associated with the
acquisition are included in the acquisition cost. Part of the
acquisition cost exceeding the balance sheet value, EUR 1.2 million,
was allocated to intangible rights by calculating fair values for the
acquired customer base.  TVS Electronics will build new premises in
the acquired land area for Incap's use by the end of 2008, for which
an advance payment of EUR 1.0 million has been recognised. The
remaining goodwill, EUR 1.0 million, is based on Incap's improved
position in the Asian contract manufacturing market.

The following assets and liabilities were recognised for the acquired
object:

On 21 May 2007 the Group issued 1,250 units of convertible bonds with
a nominal value of EUR 5,400 each for a total amount of EUR 6,750,000
for the purpose of financing the business acquisition in India and
future investments.  The term of the convertible bond is from 25 May
2007 to 25 May 2012 if the holders of the bonds do not exercise their
right to convert the bonds into the parent company's shares. A bond
with a nominal value of EUR 5,400 can be converted into 2,000 shares
of the parent company at a conversion rate of EUR 2.70. The
conversion period for bond units is from 19 June 2007 to 30 April
