Markku Hangasjärvi, President and CEO:

”Due to the competitive changes in the smart phone and mobile phone market and
the strengthened position of low-end phone manufacturers, especially from
China, Salcomp's number of chargers delivered during the second quarter of the
year decreased compared with the previous quarter. This also decreased our net
sales in April-June, although higher average sales prices of chargers mitigated
the drop. 



Despite the decrease in the net sales, our operating profit got back in the
black in the second quarter after the negative first quarter. The operating
profit was improved by lower material prices compared with the first quarter,
as well as a product mix consisting of more expensive products and rise in
sales prices. 



Our goal is to continue improving the profitability during the second half of
2011. Due to this, we have enhanced our actions in order to broaden our
customer and product portfolio, decrease material costs, improve productivity
and reduce fixed costs.” 



Financial development in April-June 2011

In April-June, Salcomp's net sales decreased by 7% to EUR 67.4 million (EUR
72.2 million in April-June 2010) due to the decrease in the number of chargers
delivered by 12% to 60.4 million (68.6 million) chargers. The number of
chargers delivered was decreased by the competitive changes in the smart phone
and mobile phone market and the strengthened position of low-end phone
manufacturers, especially from China. The impact of a smaller number of sold
chargers was mitigated by a rise in average sales prices of chargers, which was
mainly due to a product mix consisting of more expensive products, especially
smart phone chargers. 



According to estimates made by market research companies and the biggest mobile
phone manufacturers, some 376 million mobile phones were sold during the second
quarter of the year, up by some 11% compared with the April-June period in
2010. In the second quarter of the year, Salcomp's market share in mobile phonechargers was some 16% compared to some 20% in April-June in 2010. When
determining the market volume, the so-called grey market phones, i.e. mobile
phones produced without a license, are also included. Salcomp does not deliver
chargers to the grey market phones. The decrease in Salcomp's market share was
mainly due to changes in the market shares between mobile phone manufacturers. 



Salcomp's operating profit weakened by 90% to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 2.3
million). This was, on top of a drop in the number of chargers delivered, due
to a rise in material and component prices and labor costs, among others,
compared with the corresponding period last year. In addition, operating profit
was decreased by a cost of EUR 0.1 million related to the termination of
long-term incentive schemes, due to the ongoing redemption and delisting
process. Operating profit was improved by realized and unrealized exchange rate
gains of EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.6 million of gains). The operating margin in
the second quarter of the year was 0.3% (3.2%). 



The profit for the period amounted to EUR -0.7 million (EUR 1.5 million).
Earnings per share were EUR -0.02 (EUR 0.04), and diluted earnings per share
were EUR -0.02 (EUR 0.04). 



Cash flow from operating activities in April-June amounted to EUR 2.2 million
negative (EUR 4.7 million positive). The cash flow from operating activities
decreased mainly due to an increase in net working capital. 



Financial development in January-June 2011

The net sales grew by 6% in January-June to EUR 139.3 million (EUR 131.8
million in January-June 2010). The number of chargers delivered decreased by 3%
to 131.2 million (134.5 million) chargers. 



The operating profit weakened to EUR -1.2 million (EUR 3.8 million) in
January-June. This was due to an increase in material and component prices and
higher labor costs, compared with the corresponding period last year. In
addition, accelerated efforts in broadening the product range and customer base
increased fixed costs. Operating profit was weakened by a cost of EUR 0.6
million related to the termination of long-term incentive schemes, due to the
ongoing redemption and delisting process. Operating profit was also burdened by
realized and unrealized exchange rate losses of EUR 0.3 million (EUR 1.0
million of gains). The operating margin was -0.9% (2.9%) in the first half of
the year. 



Taxes for the period totaled EUR 0.8 million (EUR 0.5 million). The amount of
the Group's deferred tax has not increased during the period. 



The profit for the period was EUR -2.5 million (EUR 3.2 million). Earnings per
share were EUR -0.07 (EUR 0.08) and diluted earnings per share EUR -0.07 (EUR
0.08). 



R&D and capital expenditure

The Group's R&D expenditure was EUR 3.4 million (EUR 3.3 million) in
January-June, or 2.4% (2.5%) 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. 



Capital expenditure in January-June amounted to EUR 3.0 million (EUR 4.0
million). The capital expenditure mainly involved maintaining the production
capacity, changes in production lines required by high-end smart phone charger
manufacturing and increasing vertical integration by adding capacity in
transformer and cable assembly. 



Financing

Cash flow from operating activities in January-June was EUR 3.6 million
negative (EUR 6.5 million positive), mainly due to an increase in net working
capital. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of June were EUR 11.2 million
(EUR 17.8 million). 



The Group's equity ratio at the end of June was 43.1% (42.2%), and gearing was
10.8 % (-2.0%). Net interest-bearing debt totaled EUR 8.4 million (EUR -1.5
million) at the end of the period. 



Personnel

The number of Group personnel at the end of June totaled 9,047 (9,830): 3,974
were employed in China, 2,119 in Brazil, 2,881 in India, and 73 in Finland and
other countries. 



Changes in ownership

Salcomp's biggest shareholder, Nordstjernan AB, informed on 9 March 2011 that
it has acquired an additional 4,982,473 shares in Salcomp Plc. After the
transaction, Nordstjernan's total holding in Salcomp amounted to 35,147,189
shares, corresponding to 90.1 per cent of all the shares and votes excluding
the 337,000 shares that are in the possession of Salcomp. 



After the title to the acquired shares had passed, Nordstjernan informed that
it intends to use the right and obligation to redeem the minority shareholders'
shares as stipulated in Chapter 18, Paragraph 1, of the Companies Act.
Nordstjernan will further apply for a delisting of the company from the NASDAQ
OMX Helsinki exchange in due course. 



In accordance with Chapter 2, Section 9 of the Securities Markets Act, Salcomp
received a flagging notification from Sampo plc regarding the changes in the
holdings in Salcomp on 9 March 2011. The portion held by Mandatum Life
Insurance Company Limited, belonging to Sampo Group, of the share capital and
votes in Salcomp Plc decreased to below 5% as a result of the sale of shares on
8 March 2011. After the transaction, Mandatum Life Insurance Company does not
hold any Salcomp shares. 



On 5 April 2011, Nordstjernan informed that the Redemption Committee of the
Central Chamber of Commerce has, on the basis of Nordstjernan's application,
requested the District Court of Varsinais-Suomi to appoint a trustee for the
arbitral proceedings to supervise the interests of the minority shareholders of
Salcomp during the redemption proceedings. The District Court of
Varsinais-Suomi appointed, on 31 March 2011, attorney-at-law Kim Kyntölä as the
trustee. 



The Redemption Committee of the Central Chamber of Commerce appointed on the
basis of Nordstjernan's application, a three-member arbitral tribunal in the
arbitration proceedings regarding the redemption of shares in Salcomp. LL.Lic
Antero Molander has been appointed chairman of the arbitral tribunal, and
Professor Raimo Immonen and President Ingvar Krook have been appointed members
of the arbitral tribunal. The arbitral tribunal shall decide upon e.g. the
price of and the redemption right to the shares in Salcomp not owned by
Nordstjernan. 



On 28 June 2011, Nordstjernan filed its statement of claim with the arbitral
tribunal. The redemption price claimed by Nordstjernan is EUR 2.00 per share,
which by Nordstjernan is the fair price of the share in accordance with the
Finnish Companies Act. 



On 5 July 2011, the arbitral tribunal gave the trustee and the minority
shareholders the opportunity to submit a reply to Nordstjernan's statement of
claim at the latest on 31 August 2011. The arbitral tribunal's letter of 5 July
2011 and Nordstjernan's statement of claim has been mailed to the minority
shareholders. 



Shares and shareholders

Salcomp's registered share capital amounts to EUR 9,832,735.12, divided into
39,023,840 fully paid outstanding shares and 337,000 shares in the possession
of the company. The shares in the possession of the company were acquired
through share issues carried out in 2010 related to the share-based incentive
programs. The company has one series of shares, and all the shares entitle the
shareholder to equal rights in the company. 



Salcomp's share price fluctuated between EUR 1.83 and EUR 2.15 in January-June.
The average share price during the period was EUR 1.97, and the closing price
at the end of June was EUR 2.00. Share trading amounted to EUR 13.8 million and
6.9 million shares. According to the book-entry system, Salcomp had 676
shareholders at the end of the period. Foreign ownership at the end of June was
94.8%, and the market value for outstanding shares was EUR 78.0 million. 



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 and
availability of materials and charger components, significant changes in labor
costs, especially in China, as well as changes in the competition in the mobile
phone charger markets. Furthermore, changes in the market shares of customers
and deterioration in the financial position of major customers may have a
negative effect on Salcomp's business. 



Major changes in exchange rates can be considered one of the other short-term
uncertainty factors, especially the exchange rate of the US dollar in relation
to the euro and to currencies in those countries in which Salcomp has
production. In addition, the impact of the global economy on the stability of
the financial market, as well as accessibility of financing, has an influence
on Salcomp's business. 



In the medium term, Salcomp's business may be affected by standardization
projects concerning mobile phone chargers in the different market areas. Due to
standardization, it is possible that, in the future, in some market areas, some
mobile phone kits will not include a separate mobile phone charger. 



Risks are managed to the extent that the company has influence over them.
Further details on risks and risk management are available on the company web
site. 



Events after the reporting period

There are no events after the reporting date which would have a significant
influence on the figures presented in the Interim Report. 



Outlook for 2011

According to the estimates published by some of Salcomp's key customers and by
various market research companies, the mobile phone market, also including the
so-called grey market phones, is expected to grow, measured by the number of
units, by some 9% during 2011, compared with 2010. This would mean
approximately 1.6 billion mobile phones and, therefore, mobile phone chargers,
to be sold in 2011. The volume growth in chargers used in other consumer
electronic applications is also estimated to continue in 2011. 



Salcomp's net sales in 2011 are expected to be EUR 280-320 million. The
operating margin in 2011 is expected to be 2-4% of the net sales. Due to the
strategy revision of a major customer, Salcomp's outlook for 2011 continues to
be more uncertain than usual.

OPTION RIGHTS

During the financial year 2007, the General Meeting of Shareholders established
an option program with a total of 2,047,500 option rights that entitle 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 not
granted option rights to Group key personnel during the financial year. The
share based incentives are conditional. The vesting conditions 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

SHARE BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Salcomp Plc has two share-based incentive programs for the Group key personnel.
The programs are a Matching Share Program targeted at the members of the
Extended Global Management Team, as well as a Performance Share Program
targeted at 53 key employees including also the members of the Extended Global
Management Team. Both Programs include one earning period, from calendar year
2010 to 2012. The potential rewards from both the Matching and Performance
Share programs will be paid partly in Company shares and partly in cash during
2013. The cash payment is intended to cover the personal taxes and tax-related
costs arising from the reward. No reward will be paid to a key person, if his
or her employment or service in a Group Company ends before the reward payment.
The rewards to be paid on the basis of the earning period will correspond to
the value of maximum 532,000 Salcomp Plc shares. Global Management Team can
earn a total of 281,000 pcs of Salcomp Plc shares during the total earning
period. Releases relating to the new incentive program have been issued in May
19 and June 21, 2010. Cost effect of delisting, started during spring 2011 due
to the changes in ownership, is presented in statement of changes in equity.
