Panostaja Oyj        Interim report, 10 March 2010  at 10:00

PANOSTAJA GROUP INTERIM REPORT 1 NOV. 2009 - 31 JAN. 2010                       

-  Net sales MEUR 29.0 (MEUR 28.8), growth 1%                                   
-  Operating loss MEUR -2.6 (MEUR -0.6)                                         
-  Earnings/share -3.0 cents (-2.0 cents)                                       
-  Equity per share 0.65 euros (0.76 euros)                                     
-  The equity ratio 33.0% (33.0%)                                               
-  The lengthening downturn in the technology industry and transfer of planned  
Environmental Technology projects to the future had a negative impact on the    
growing net sales of the Group.                                                 
-  Profitability was reduced by the deterioration in the segments serving the   
technology industry, operating loss in the Environmental Technology segment, and
one-time costs in the Safety segment.                                           
-  The turnover of Panostaja Group is still expected to increase from previous  
financial year but the operating profit of the financial year is expected to be 
lower than the operating profit of previous financial year.                     
-  However the operating profit of the financial year is expected to clearly    
surpass the operating profit of the previous financial year (EUR 0,1 million    
without the divestment profit of the Group's real estate holdings).             

The quarterly review has been prepared by observing the entry and appreciation  
principles of the IFRS standards and in accordance with the same principles of  
closing the accounts as with the final accounts in 2009, but not all the        
requirements of the IAS 34 Quarterly Review standard have been observed in its  
preparation.                                                                    


FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT                                                           

Panostaja Group                                                                 

Panostaja Group's net sales were MEUR 29.0 (MEUR 28.8) during the quarterly     
period ending. The growth in net sales resulted from the business acquisitions  
realized during the previous financial period, the effect of which was MEUR 5.1 
on the review period net sales. Net sales of the Group were weakened in         
particular by the strong decline in the segments serving the technology industry
as well as the transfer of planned projects in the environmental industry       
segment to the future.                                                          

The general recession that had started at the close of 2008 has not yet eased   
for the time being. Of the Group's segments engaged in business, five exceeded  
last year's net sales level and eight remained at the net sales level of last   
year. Net sales rose in the following segments: Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles, 
Digital Printing Services, Fittings, Value-Added Logistics and Safety. Net sales
declined in the following segments: Technochemical, Supports, Fasteners, the    
Carpentry Industry, HEPAC Wholesale, Heat Treatment, Takoma and Environmental   
Business.                                                                       
The Group's operating loss was MEUR -2.6 (MEUR -0.6) and profit before          
taxes was MEUR -3.0 (MEUR -1.0). The operating margin was -8.8%(-2.0%). The net 
financing costs of the Group were approximately MEUR -0.5 (MEUR -0.4). The total
number of personnel in the Group during the review period was, on average, 826  
(761) people. The profitability of the Group was improved by the growth in      
operating profit in the Digital Printing Services and Spare Parts for Motor     
Vehicles segments. Profitability was particularly weakened by the deterioration 
in the profitability of the segments serving the technology industry - Takoma,  
Value-Added Logistics and Heat Treatment - as well as the operating loss in the 
Environmental Technology segment and in the Safety segment one-time costs caused
by the change of residence and the integration of operations.                   

Segment inspection                                                              

The net sales in the Safety segment increased from MEUR 3.1 to MEUR 4.5 with the
purchase of the Bewator company. Operating loss grew from MEUR -0.5 to MEUR     
-0.7. Profitability deteriorated as a result of the integration of operations   
and one-time costs caused by the change.                                        

The net sales of HEPAC Wholesale remained on the level of the previous year -   
MEUR 4.3 - and operating profit was MEUR 0.0. Net sales leaned towards          
renovation construction with rebuilding being minimal.                          

The net sales of the Takoma segment declined from MEUR 4.6 to MEUR 2.5, and     
operating profit dropped from MEUR 0.0 to a loss of MEUR -0.7. The vigorous     
decline results from the strong deterioration in demand from technology industry
customers.                                                                      

Net sales in the Digital Printing Services segment grew from MEUR 3.1 to MEUR   
4.3 and operating profit from MEUR 0.3 to MEUR 0.4. This growth is explained by 
the purchase of the Sokonet company and the new clientele. The profitability of 
the segmentin was weakened by the one-time cost of moving to the new operational
premises in Jyväskylä and Joensuu.                                              

Net sales in the Fittings segment grew from MEUR 2.6 to MEUR 2.8, but owing to  
development measures, operating profit declined from MEUR 0.3 to MEUR 0.2. In   
both construction and fixture Supports, customer demand is slowly recuperating. 

Net sales in the Value-Added Logistics segment grew from MEUR 2.8 to MEUR 3.6,  
but  operating loss deteriorated from MEUR 0.0 to MEUR -0.4. Net sales were     
increased by the corporate acquisition of CLO Pakkaukset Oy. Profitability was  
weakened by the low volume of clients functioning in the technology industry.   

Net sales in the Heat Treatment segment declined from MEUR 1.9 to MEUR 1.2 and  
the MEUR 0.2 operating profit turned to MEUR -0.1 operating loss. Demand for    
thermal treatment services is post-cyclical, and investments for new equipment  
stock have been transferred to the future as a result of the recession.         

Net sales in the Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles segment grew from MEUR 1.6 to   
MEUR 1.9 and operating profit from MEUR 0.1 to MEUR 0.2. The fall in sales for  
new vehicles has raised the demand for spare parts.                             

Net sales in the Environmental Technology segment declined from MEUR 1.4 to MEUR
0.8 and the operating loss grew from MEUR -0.2 to MEUR -0.8. The investments in 
environmental technology are still frozen as a result of the recession and the  
projects planned or offered have been transferred to the future.                

Net sales in the Carpentry Industry segment declined from MEUR 1.4 to MEUR 1.2, 
but the MEUR -0.2 operating loss turned to MEUR 0.0 operating profit. The       
development of net sales is halted by the low volume of construction. The       
improvement in profitability is explained by the boosted efficiency in operative
functions.                                                                      

In the Supports segment, net sales declined from MEUR 0.9 to 0.8 and operating  
profit remained at MEUR 0.0. The low volume of rebuilding in Finland, Russia and
the Baltic keeps demand for Supports low.                                       

In the Fasteners segment, net sales dropped from MEUR 0.7 to MEUR 0.6 and       
operating loss remained at MEUR -0.1. The activities of clientele in the        
Fasteners segment are still on quite a low level.                               

In the Technochemical segment, net sales declined from MEUR 0.7 to MEUR 0.6 and 
operating profit remained at MEUR 0.0. Net sales were particularly weakened by  
the deterioration in demand on the part of engineering products as a consequence
of the recession in the technology industry and, due to weather conditions, the 
reduction in use of transport equipment-related maintenance chemicals.          

Significant changes have not occurred in other business segments.               


INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING                                                       

The Group's gross investments during the first quarter were MEUR 1.4 (MEUR 2.8).

The Group's cash flow from business operations was, despite the operating loss, 
MEUR 0.7 positive and liquidity was good. The Group's assets and financing      
securities, MEUR 23.6 (MEUR 40.5), enable the implementation of a growth        
strategy.                                                                       

The Group's equity ratio was 33.0% (33.0%) and net debts with interest totalled 
MEUR 31.2 (MEUR 21.0). The exchangeable capital loan of Panostaja Oyj from net  
debts was MEUR 17.2 (MEUR 17.2).                                                

The general Annual Meeting (27 Jan. 2010) approved the Board's proposal for the 
distribution of dividends. Dividends were distributed at a rate of 0.12 euros   
per share. The matching date for distribution of dividends was 1 Feb. 2010 and  
the starting payment date 8 Feb. 2010. Dividends were paid to the shareholders  
of the parent company to a total of MEUR 5.5.                                   


GROUP STRUCTURE CHANGES           

As of the financial period 1 November 2009 - 31 October 2010, starting with the 
first-quarter review, the business operations of Panostaja Group shall be       
reported in fourteen segments, which are: Safety, HEPAC Wholesale, Takoma,      
Digital Printing Services, Supports, Value-Added Logistics, Heat Treatment,     
Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles, Environmental Technology, Carpentry Industry,   
Fasteners, Fittings, Technochemical and Others. The new reporting segments have 
been assembled because they mutually produce various products and services.

Group has no subsidiary segment distribution.                                   


EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD                                                  

There are no events after the review period.                                    


ADMINISTRATION AND ANNUAL MEETING                                               

Panostaja Oyj's general Annual Meeting was held on 27 January 2010 in Tampere.

Ketola were again appointed to Panostaja Oyj's Board of Directors along with new

organizational meeting,  Matti Koskenkorva was appointed Chairperson with Jukka 
Ala-Mello as Vice-Chairperson. Authorized Public Accountant Eero Suomela and    
authorized body of public accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy were selected as
general chartered accountants with Authorized Public Accountant Janne Rajalahti 
as responsible public accountant.                                               

The Annual Meeting approved the closing of the accounts 1 Nov. 2008 - 31 Oct.   
2009 as well as the proposal of the Board to transfer the profit of the         
financial period to the profit funds and that dividends would be distributed at

Annual Meeting granted exemption from liability to the members of the Board and 
to the Managing Director.                                                       

Moreover, the general Annual Meeting cancelled the power of attorney over the   
acquisition of its own shares assigned during the Annual Meeting of 26 Jan. 2009
and authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of its own   
shares, so that personal shares would be acquired together or in several        
instalments so that, on the basis of the authorization, it is possible to       
acquire personal shares to a maximum number which, together with the personal   
shares held by the company or as security by others in its subsdiaries, is, at  
maximum, one-tenth of all the company's shares.                                 

The shares are acquired otherwise in relation to the ownership of the           
shareholders in public trade arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy at the          
prevailing market price at the time. In acquiring shares, the rules of NASDAQ   
OMX Helsinki Oy and Euroclear Finland Oy are observed.                          

Authorization shall be in effect for 18 months from authorization issue.        

The Board of Directors has not used the authorization granted by the Annual     
Meeting to acquire its own shares during the review period.                     

In addition, the Annual Meeting approved the proposal of the Board to revise    
company by-law 8 § as follows:

SHARE CAPITAL AND OWN SHARES                                                    

At the close of the review period, Panostaja Oyj's share capital was            
5,529,081.60 euros. The total number of shares is 47,403,110.                   

In accordance with the Annual Meeting on 26 Jan. 2009 and the decisions of the  
Board, Panostaja Oyj transferred the total of 5,585 individual shares as meeting
fees to the members of the Board on 18 Dec. 2009.                               

The total number of shares held by the company at the end of the review period  
was 1,283,624 individual shares. Personal shares corresponded to 2.7 percent of 
the share quantity and number of votes at the end of the entire review period.  


CAPITAL LOAN                                                                    

The amount of debt of the exchangeable capital loan in 2006 was, at the end of  
the review period, 17,212,500 euros, and this entitles a total of 10,125,000 as 
a new share entry.                                                              
During the review period, no new shares have been marked with the capital loan. 


SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT AND SHARE OWNERSHIP                                     

Panostaja Oyj's share price varied during the review period between 1.34 euros  
and 1.75 euros. The exchange of shares totalled 2,259,354 individual shares,    
which represents 4.9% of share capital. The January share closing rate was 1.57 
euros. The market value of the company's share capital at the end of January was
MEUR 74.4 and the company had 4,137 shares (3,005).                             


NEAR-FUTURE RISKS AND FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY                                    

The most significant risks of Panostaja Group have been described in the final  
accounts. The near-future risks are particularly connected with the success of  
the integration of companies acquired and the completion of decided operational 
structural changes. The strong deterioration in the general economic situation  
has caused a lengthening downswing in customer demand and transformation of     
investments especially in segments serving the technology industry. In the case 
the downturn in the technology industry continues and investments in environment
technology segment transfers, it may cause a need to write down Group's         
goodwill. Furthermore credit losses are more probable during this financial     
period than the previous. The aim of Panostaja is to divest the 27 per cent     
share of Real Estate Fund PE Kiinteistörahasto I Ky, which would mean, in the   
case of actualization, operating profit of circa MEUR 1.6. However, a weak      
situation in real estate markets may postpone the realization of the Real Estate
share.                                                                          


PROSPECTS FOR THE FINAL ACCOUNT PERIOD                                          
Panostaja Group shall further concentrate on its business idea and the          
development of its current business areas. The transfer of the large age groups 
to retirement, increasingly vigorous continuous changes in the business         
environment of companies and internationalization shall bring a large group of  
enterprises to the market for purchase in the years to come. Panostaja's        
operational prerequisites, available capital and liquid assets establish a good 
foundation for vigorous expansion of its operations. The increasing business    
offering in traditional fields amongst functional SMEs is enabling both         
expansion into new business areas and growth in current ones.                   

Economic trend expectations in the fields of current business area are strongly 
tied to the prospects of client enterprises. Although the trend expectations    
have changed in many fields in a positive direction, the turn of the economy    
towards permanent growth is still subject to uncertainty. In the various        
business areas of Panostaja Group, the prospects still vary from weakening to   
guardedly positive. Even if a permanent turn to the better were to occur in the 
economic trends, the market also offers sufficient opportunities for corporate  
acquisitions, and it is the purpose of the growth strategy of Panostaja to      
achieve growth through controlled company purchases, especially in existent     
business areas. With a change in market situation, the divestment of some       
business areas may become timely.                                               

The turnover of Panostaja Group is still expected to increase from previous     
financial year but the operating profit of the financial year is expected to be 
lower than the operating profit of previous financial year. However the         
operating profit of the financial year is expected to clearly surpass the       
operating profit of the previous financial year (EUR 0,1 million without the    
divestment profit of the Group's real estate holdings).
