SCANFIL PLC       STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE   12 MARCH 2009    11.50 A.M           

PROFIT WARNING, THE TURNOVER AND OPERATING PROFIT OF FIRST QUARTER UNDER THE    
LEVEL OF 2008                                                                   

Based on the available information at the moment Scanfil plc's turnover and     
operating profit of the first quarter will fall short of the corresponding      
period of last year. The turnover of the first quarter of 2008 was EUR 50,0     
million and the operating profit was EUR 4,7 million.                           

Due to the global financial crisis, the situation in the telecommunications     
technology and industrial electronics markets where Scanfil operates remains so 
unstable that it is not possible to make reliable predictions on their          
development in 2009.                                                            

Scanfil plc will publish the Interim Report of the first quarter on 23 April    
2009
