THE GROWTH OF COMPTEL'S NET SALES REMAINS LOWER THAN EXPECTED


STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 26 NOVEMBER 2008 AT 9:10 AM

It is estimated that Comptel's net sales for 2008 will grow from the previous
year but the growth will remain lower than the earlier expected 10 per cent.
The lower growth of net sales is due to the slowing down of business especially
in the Western Europe and the delayed orders of Axiom Systems. The growth of
net sales has continued favourably in the Middle East and Africa and in Asia
Pacific. 

Comptel's operating profit for 2008 before one-off costs is expected to be 12 -
17 per cent of net sales. 

Earlier Comptel Corporation estimated that the net sales would increase over 10
per cent in 2008 and the operating profit was expected to be 15 - 20 per cent
of net sales before the estimated EUR 1 million one-off costs related to
integration of Axiom Systems. 

Comptel Corporation will publish its financial statements for 2008 on 12
February 2009.
