Decline in Net Sales and Profit                                                 

Year-on-year net sales decreased by 5.8% standing at EUR 25.6 (27.2) million.   
Owing to the general tight situation in the financial market our main customers,
i.e. the European cable operators, have delayed maintenance investments on their
networks. Moreover, strengthening of the euro has decreased investment          
opportunities among our customers, for instance, in the Eastern Europe.         

Operating profit fell clearly from the year of comparison standing at EUR -1.2  
(0.9) million, which is -4.7% (3.2%) of net sales. This decline in the operating
profit was due to reduced product deliveries caused by delayed investment       
decisions. Undiluted result per share equalled EUR -0.07 (EUR 0.03).            

Orders received diminished over the previous year by 11.5% standing at EUR 26.0 
(29.4) million. Order backlog totalled EUR 24.1 (23.7) million. Order backlog   
includes the order of EUR 12.0 million secured in India in June 2008 for the    
Luminato headend solution with deliveries scheduled to begin towards the end of 
2009.                                                                           

Changes in Group Structure                                                      

Broadband Cable Networks' offering of services was strengthened on 1 January    
2009 by the acquisition of three German companies: Antel GmbH, the MKS companies
and YoungNet GmbH. The acquisition price for the relevant capital stock stood at
EUR 8.8 million. This price may increase subject to development of the net      
profit of the acquired companies in the next two years. In our estimate, the    
effect of these acquisitions on Teleste net sales for 2009 will be more than EUR
30 million and the operating profit will be positive. The acquisitions were paid
for by using cash assets and a bank loan. At the same time Teleste Services GmbH
with 100% holding of the acquired companies was set up in Germany.              

With these acquisitions Teleste's holding in the German Cableway AG has         
increased up to 50%. Share equal to Teleste's holding in Cableway AG is         
presented under the Financial Items.                                            

Business Areas                                                                  

Net sales of Broadband Cable Networks stood at EUR 21.3 (23.0) million, a fall  
of 7.3% over the period of comparison. In terms of volume, deliveries of        
products decreased clearly over the period of comparison, whereas the share of  
services increased significantly with the acquisition. Operating profit stood at
EUR -1.4 (0.9) million making -6.4% (3.9%) of the net sales. Orders received by 
Broadband Cable Networks decreased over the year of comparison amounting to EUR 
22.6 (26.0) million. Order backlog totalled EUR 20.4 (22.2) million, which      
includes the order secured in India in June 2008 of EUR 12 million for the      
Luminato headend solution. 1 January 2009 three companies were acquired in      
Germany to strengthen the offering of services provided by the business area.   

Net sales of Video Networks was on a par with the period of comparison amounting
to EUR 4.3 (4.2) million. Operating profit amounted to EUR 0.2 (-0.02) million. 
Orders received by Video Networks amounted to EUR 3.4 (3.3) million. Order      
backlog totalled EUR 3.7 (1.5) million.                                         

Personnel                                                                       

At the end of March the Group employed 1001 people (2008: 686, 2007: 639), out  
of which 453 (2008: 461 and 2007: 448) were working in Finland. The acquisitions
in Germany increased the number of personnel by 340. No hired personnel was used
in period under review (2008: 37 and 2007: 78). Layoffs involving personnel     
stationed in Finland commenced at the end of 2008. Furthermore, in an uncertain 
market situation preparations for additional layoffs have been taken designed to
adapt the company operations to the tough-to-predict market situation without   
compromising the company's potential for growth.                                

R&D and Investments                                                             

The average number of persons working in R&D related assignments was 162 (2008: 
158 and 2007: 145). As of beginning of April 2009 the number of people working  
in R&D will decrease by 23 in line with the outsourcing contract made with      
Cybercom Plenware. This solution supports the implementation of our strategy of 
business growth, enables focusing on core business and provides flexibility to  
the R&D personnel resources.                                                    

Product development expenses for Q1 stood at EUR 3.2 (3.2) million making 12.5% 
(11.8%) of the net sales. The relevant efforts were mainly focused on further   
development of the IP based Luminato video processing system and the development
of the next generation video surveillance transfer system. Activated R&D        
expenses stood at EUR 0.5 (0.8) million and depreciation on previous activation 
items equalled EUR 0.6 (0.4) million. Some 70% of product development expenses  
involved further development of product platforms currently in production and   
their maintenance as well as customer-specific product modifications.           
                                                                                
Investments for the Group totalled EUR 10.8 (1.0) million. These mainly involved
strengthening of the Broadband Cable Networks' services business. The quoted    
figure for investments includes the acquisition price of EUR 8.8 million paid   
for the three German companies. The investments also include estimated          
additional contract prices of EUR 1.5 million related to previously performed   
acquisitions. Product development investments totalled EUR 0.5 (0.8) million.   

To boost productivity Teleste focuses its operations involving production in    
Finland to one spot; a decision has been made on extension of a production and  
store building next to the head office in Littoinen. The extension investment   
will be completed at the end of 2009 and the related expenses are estimated to  
be approximately EUR 3 million. The factory building in Nousiainen was sold in  
April 2009, but production on the premises will continue to the end of the year 
by way of a tenancy agreement.                                                  

Financing                                                                       

Operating cash flow stood at EUR 1.0 (0.6) million. In the period under review  
the interest-bearing debt increased by 4.8 million. The increased debt was used 
to finance acquisitions for the Broadband Cable Networks business area. At the  
end of March, interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 15.7 (11.7) million. At the end
of the review period, liquid funds stood at EUR 7.3 (8.8) million. At the end of
the review period, the amount of unused stand-by credits amounted to EUR 26.0   
(21.0) million. The current stand-by credits of EUR 40.0 million run till       
November 2013. The Group's gearing was 18.6% (6.2%) and the equity ratio was    
51.8% (60.0%).                                                                  

Teleste hedges main exchange rate risks of forecasted currency flows for six    
months ahead.

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting                                         

On 7 April 2009, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) confirmed the financial       
statements for 2008 and discharged the Board and the CEO from liability for the 
financial period. The AGM confirmed the Board's proposed dividend of EUR 0.12   
per share. The dividend was paid out on 21 April 2009.                          

The AGM decided that the Board of Directors shall consist of six members. Marjo 
Raitavuo was elected as the Chairman of the Board with Pertti Ervi and Petteri  
Walldén as new Board members. Tero Laaksonen, Pertti Raatikainen and Kai Telanne
were re-elected members of the Board.                                           

Authorised Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next 
AGM. Esa Kailiala was approved as auditor-in-charge.                            

The AGM authorised the Board to acquire the maximum of 900,000 of the company's 
own shares and to convey the maximum of 1,744,721 company's own shares. The AGM 
also authorised the company Board to issue 10,000,000 new shares. Pursuant to   
the special rights provided by the company, the maximum number of significant   
shares is 5,000,000; these special rights are included in the authorisation to  
issue 10,000,000 new shares.                                                    

These authorisations will be valid until the AGM due to be held in 2010.        

Significant Short-Term Risks and Uncertainty Factors for the Business Areas     

Potential ownership and debt rearrangements among Teleste's clientele may slow  
down the folding out of some investments in the business of Broadband Cable     
Networks.                                                                       

Strengthening of order backlog for Video Networks is dependent on timing of the 
public sector decisions.                                                        

Inactive situation in the financial markets may lead to delays in the customers'
investment plans and weakening solvency. The strength of the euro in relation to
the US dollar may further erode Teleste's competitive edge. Introduction to the 
market of new competing technologies is a characteristic risk factor for both of
our business areas.                                                             

Outlook                                                                         

The offering of services to private households by the operator clientele of     
Broadband Cable Networks will remain relatively stable even in an uncertain     
market situation. Demand for the network services provided by the business area 
is growing particularly in Germany. Due to the difficult situation in the       
financial markets the cable operators are proceeding cautiously with regard to  
their network investments. In our view, in the current year deliveries of       
product solutions provided by Broadband Cable Networks will remain under the    
2008 level with the price competition increasing further.                       

Increased needs for security and more effective traffic infrastructure maintain 
demand for the Video Networks' solutions on the same level with the previous    
year.                                                                           

Teleste will keep its strong market position in the core markets and continue to
implement its strategy in a goal-directed manner while adapting its cost        
structure as required by the economic situation. The recent strategic           
investments in the services business performed by Teleste will cushion the      
cyclic pattern in the company net sales under the uncertain market conditions.  

Due to delays in network investments the company action plan prepares for net   
sales lower than that of the previous year and for a clear drop in profitability
in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, we expect the    
market to pick up to some degree based on the investment plans of the operators.
However, we estimate that profitability for the whole year will fall clearly    
from the last year's level.                                                     

Teleste's interim report for the January - June period will be published on 22  
July 2009.
