IFRS REPORTING                                                                  

Exel has applied IFRS reporting since the beginning of 2005. This interim report
has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles 
of IFRS, which are the same as in the 2006 financial statements.                

NET SALES                                                                       

Exel's consolidated net sales for April-June grew by 2.9 per cent over the      
previous year to EUR 28.7 (27.9) million. Net sales for January-June grew by 7.5
per cent to EUR 57.5 (53.5) million. The major part of the growth is stemming   
from the acquisition of Pacific Composites, which was included in the           
consolidated financial statements as of 1 March 2006. The Sport Division's      
cross-country and alpine products suffered from the mild winter, stiff          
competition and sourcing problems.                                              

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE                                                           

Exel's operating profit for April-June increased to EUR 2.7 million, compared to
EUR 0.2 million (including non-recurring items of EUR -0.4 million) the         
corresponding period last year. Operating profit for January-June increased to  
EUR 6.2 million (EUR 0.8 million, including non-recurring items of EUR -2.3     
million). Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 10.8 (1.4) per cent.
The improvement of the operating profit has been a result of the restructuring  
measures taken in the problem units in 2006, especially Mäntyharju, Belgium and 
the German Sport unit, and the contribution of the Pacific Composites           
acquisition.                                                                    

The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 0.5 (0.5) million. The Group's      
pre-tax profit was EUR 5.7 (0.3) million, and profit for the reporting period   
totalled EUR 4.3 (0.3) million.                                                 

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION                                            

The consolidated balance sheet total at the end of the reporting period stood at
EUR 82.3 (81.0) million.                                                        

At the end of the reporting period, equity was EUR 26.2 (25.2) million, and the 
equity ratio was 31.9 (31.1) per cent. Interest-bearing liabilities were EUR    
36.3 (34.4) million, of which short-term liabilities accounted for EUR 10.5     
(7.7) million. Net interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 32.3 (29.2) million,   
and the net gearing was 123.5 (115.9) per cent.                                 

The cash flow from business operations in the reporting period was EUR -2.2     
(+3.2) million. The negative cash flow was mainly caused by increased inventory 
levels and lower trade payables. At the end of the reporting period, the Group  
had liquid assets of EUR 5.2 million, compared with EUR 6.2 million at the end  
of 2006.                                                                        

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE                                                             

The Group's capital expenditure totalled EUR 1.2 (2.1) million, used mainly for 
maintenance and replacement purposes. During the period the Plastics business in
Germany and one production building in Mäntyharju were sold. The value of the   
disposals was EUR 1.2 million in line with the capital expenditure made.        

PERSONNEL                                                                       

The number of people employed by the Exel Group on 30 June 2007 was 566 (668).  
Of these 256 (347) worked in Finland and 310 (300) abroad. The number of        
employees averaged 571 (588). The increase from last year outside Finland is    
mainly due to the acquisition of Pacific Composites. At the same time, there was
a reduction of personnel due to the restructuring of the Sport activities and   
the divestment of Plastics operations in Germany.                               

CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE                                                      

On 1 May 2007 Exel sold its Plastics operations which is focusing on extrusion  
technology and has operated under Exel GmbH in Rohrdorf, Germany. The operations
were sold to a new established company, CPS GmbH. The company's net sales in    
2006 were some EUR 2.9 million. 20 employees were transferred to the new company
as old employees. By selling the Plastics operations Exel continues to          
concentrate on its core business operations, pultrusion and the production of   
composite products. The sale of the business did not impact the Exel Group      
profit.                                                                         

CHANGES IN THE MANAGEMENT                                                       

As of 1 July 2007, the Industry Division was organized in two Business Areas:   
Europe and Asia/Pacific. Business Area Europe is headed by Vesa Korpimies. In   
addition, he will maintain his duties as Executive Vice President of the Exel   
Group. Business Area Asia/Pacific is headed by Grant Pearce who has been        
appointed Senior Vice President and member of the Management Group.             

A new function, Operations, has been established. It is headed by Callum Gough, 
at present Manager of Exel's UK/Belgium operations. He has been appointed acting
Senior Vice President Operations and is as such member of Exel Management Group.
Exel's Management Group has now the following members: Göran Jönsson, President 
& CEO; Vesa Korpimies, Executive Vice President and Business Area Manager       
Europe; Grant Pearce, Senior Vice President and Business Area Manager           
Asia/Pacific; Ilkka Silvanto, Senior Vice President and CFO and Callum Gough,   
acting Senior Vice President Operations.                                        

Tarmo Karhapää was appointed General Manager of Exel Industry Finland as of 1   
July 2007.                                                                      

BUSINESS SEGMENTS                                                               

The Group's operations are divided into two primary segments: the Industry      
Division and the Sport Division. The Industry Division includes all production  
activities in the company as from 1 January 2007. Therefore the Sport Industry  
business and Mäntyharju operations in Finland, which earlier was part of the    
Sport Division, were transferred to the Industry Division. The comparative      
divisional figures from 2006 have been changed correspondingly.                 


Industry Division                                                               

The Industry Division's key financial figures for the reporting period were as  
follows:

The Industry Division's net sales increased to EUR 54.3 (50.0) million, up 8.6  
per cent from the previous year. The transportation, energy and                 
building/construction markets, in particular, were strong. Growth was mainly due
to the acquisition of the Pacific Composites Group and new profile applications 
in the European units. The telecommunication segment continued to be slow.      

The profitability was good in all units. The Belgium operations, which          
experienced problems in 2006, turned around in 2007. In addition, the           
development in the Chinese unit has also been positive during the first six     
months.                                                                         

There are some signs of improvement in the carbon fibre situation. At present   
there is shortage only of some special types of carbon fibre.                   

Operating profit grew by 110 per cent to EUR 8.8 million, up from 4.2 million   
(including EUR 1.9 million of non-recurring items) last year. This improvement  
in profitability was due to restructuring measures and productivity gains at the
main factories and full half year impact from the Pacific Composites            
acquisition.                                                                    

The selling of a production building at Mäntyharju generated a book profit of   
EUR 0.3 million.

The Sport Division's net sales in the first six months decreased by 40 per cent 
from EUR 9.8 million to EUR 5.9 million from the previous year, partly due to   
the mild winter, which also had a negative impact on reorders. In addition, Exel
had delays in deliveries from its Chinese pole suppliers and in addition some   
major quality problems in conjunction with the production transfer. Therefore,  
sales ended up substantially lower than previous year. The Nordic Walking market
in Germany, however, recovered slightly. The sales of floorball products        
developed well during the reporting period.                                     

The Sport Division's operating loss was EUR -2.5 million compared with -3.5     
(-3.1 before non-recurring items) last year. To minimize the negative impact on 
sales due to delays, the transportation costs were higher than normal. In       
combination with cost to correct the quality issues the margins in the second   
quarter were weak. As a consequence of the low sales the inventories increased  
during the period. Corrective actions to improve logistics were taken and the   
delivery situation is improving. Also, reinforced quality assurance routines    
were implemented in China. New purchase routines were established with the      
target to better match the actual sales level.                                  

SHARES                                                                          

At the end of June, Exel's share capital was EUR 2,141,431.74 and the number of 
shares was 11,896,843. There were no changes in the share capital during the    
period.                                                                         

Based on the closing price in the reporting period, market capitalization       
totalled EUR 192.5 (148.2) million.                                             

SHARES TRADED ON THE OMX HELSINKI STOCK EXCHANGE                                

During the reporting period 3,551,182 (3,319,387) shares were traded, accounting
for 29.8 (28.2) per cent of the average number of outstanding shares.           

The highest share quotation during the reporting period was EUR 16.70 (15.13)   
and the lowest EUR 12.50 (10.80). The share price closed at EUR 16.18 (12.46).  
The average share price during the reporting period was EUR 14.05 (12.48).      

DISCLOSURES OF CHANGES IN HOLDINGS                                              

No shareholders´ disclosures of changes in holdings in the company were received
by Exel.                                                                        

OUTLOOK                                                                         

The focus will remain on restoring the profitability of the Group. This is      
further underlined by the organizational changes that have been implemented in  
the primary business area, the Industry Division. The benefits from the Pacific 
Composites acquisition is expected to continue throughout the year. The antenna 
profile sales will most likely continue to be slow but the overall positive     
market development in other areas is expected to continue.                      

The main concern is the Sport Division's poor profitability mainly caused by the
sourcing problems from China. Corrective actions have been taken and it is      
expected that the situation will be improved during the second half of the year.

The main risks in 2007 lie in market demand in certain Industry and Sport       
segments, especially Nordic Walking. Other risks are the increased inventories  
in the Sport Division and the sourcing from China.                              

For the full year 2007, Exel expects the profit before taxes to improve compared
with the 2006 result before taxes and non-recurring items.
