PROFIT WARNING: PRELIMINARY INFORMATION ON CENCORP CORPORATION'S NET SALES AND PROFIT IN THE FIRST QUARTER

CENCORP CORPORATION      STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE        26 FEBRUARY 2009

Due to very challenging market conditions, Cencorp Corporation's net sales in   
the first quarter is estimated to be EUR 0.9 - 1.2 million (first quarter of    
2008: EUR 4.5 million). The operating profit (EBIT) of the first quarter is     
estimated to be clearly negative (first quarter of 2008: EUR -0.1 million).     

The company's order backlog at the time of this stock exchange release is about 
800 thousand euros. The visibility as to the new orders to be received by the   
company is exceptionally short due to rapid change in the customers' investment 
activity.                                                                       

Cencorp Corporation notified on 3 February 2008 that it has signed an agreement 
regarding the acquisition of the entire share capital of Savcor Alfa Oy. The    
completion of the acquisition is conditional on the completion of the combined  
arrangement negotiated with Savcor Group Oy, Sampo Pankki Oyj and Markku Jokela 
(as well as FT Capital Oy controlled by him as per Chapter 1, Section 5 of the  
Securities Markets Act). The acquisition is expected to be completed at the end 
of the first quarter at the earliest and it is therefore not expected by the    
company to have any significant effect on Cencorp Corporation's net sales or    
operating profit of the first quarter.
