TELESTE CORPORATION STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24.4.2007 TELESTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1.1.-31.3.2007 The stated data is unaudited. This interim report has been compiled in compliance with IFRS IAS 34. Recognition and valuation principles are identical with those used in the Annual Report. - Net sales improved significantly by 37.7% over the previous year amounting to EUR 31.4 (22.8) million - Operating profit stood at EUR 2.8 (2.2) million, an increase of 29.9% over the previous year; undiluted result per share equalled EUR 0.11 (0.09) per share - Orders received improved by 34.9% over the previous year standing at EUR 36.4 (27.0) million - Year-on-year orders received by Broadband Cable Networks grew by 35.5% amounting to EUR 32.7 (24.2) million; the operating profit increased - Orders received by Video Networks grew by 29.5% over the previous year amounting to EUR 3.6 (2.8) million, but the operating profit decreased Growth in Net Sales and Profitability Year-on-year net sales increased by 37.7% standing at EUR 31.4 (22.8) million. Over the previous year operating profit grew by 29.9% standing at EUR 2.8 (2.2) million making 8.9% (9.4%) of net sales. Undiluted result per share equalled EUR 0.11 (EUR 0.09). Orders received improved by 34.9% from the previous year standing at EUR 36.4 (27.0) million. Order backlog totalled EUR 33.3 (27.0) million. Thanks to our increased assembly capacity there were no significant delays in deliveries at the end of the period under review. Business Areas Broadband Cable Networks' net sales grew significantly, that is by 47.7%, year on year standing at EUR 28.0 (19.0) million. This growth can be attributed to the started Ethernet to the Home (EttH) deliveries to South Korea and the favourable situation regarding deliveries in HFC products. Operating profit stood at EUR 3.3 (2.0) million making 11.8% (10.6%) of net sales. The improved profitability was brought about by increased net sales. Orders received by the Broadband Cable Networks increased by 35.5% over the previous year amounting to EUR 32.7 (24.2) million. Order backlog totalled EUR 31.5 (24.1) million. Net sales of Video Networks shrank by 11.6% from the previous year standing at EUR 3.4 (3.9) million. Due to the reduced volume operational profit was clearly EUR 0.5 million in the red (EUR 0.15 million in the black). Orders received by Video Networks increased by 29.5% over the previous year to EUR 3.6 (2.8) million. Order backlog totalled EUR 1.9 (2.9) million. Significant Short-Term Risks and Uncertainty Factors for the Business Areas Ownership rearrangements among 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 public sector decisions. Introduction to the market of new competing technologies is a characteristic risk factor for both of our business areas.

Decisions by the Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 3 April 2007 confirmed the financial statements for 2006 and discharged the Board and the CEO from liability for the financial period. The AGM confirmed the dividend of EUR 0.20 per share as proposed by the Board of Directors. The dividend was paid out on 17 April 2007. Composition of Teleste's Board remained unchanged. Mr. Tapio Hintikka was re-elected as Chairman whilst Mr. Tero Laaksonen, Mr. Pertti Raatikainen, Mr. Timo Toivila and Mr. Pekka Vennamo continued as members on the Board of Directors. Authorised Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab continue as the auditor until the next AGM. The AGM authorised the Board to acquire the maximum of 1,290,000 of the company's own shares and to convey the maximum of 1,730,000 company's own shares. Based on authorisations of 2001 and 2002 the company is in the possession of 444,820 of its own shares. The AGM also authorised the company to issue 4,500,000 new shares. The maximum number of shares that may be subscribed with the special rights granted by the Company is 1.730.000 shares. These authorisations will be valid until the AGM to be held in 2008. Nominal value of the company share was renounced. The AGM accepted a share option plan involving key personnel. The plan authorises a subscription of 840,000 new shares. Events after the End of the Period Offering of products and services delivered by Broadband Cable Networks was strengthened on 4 April 2007 through acquisition of 100% holding of the Belgian DINH Telecom S.A. The company is the leading provider of house network technology and network maintenance services for the cable and phone operators in Belgium. The acquired company specialises in the design and manufacturing of house networks customized to specific operator requirements and the offering of network maintenance and repair services. Net sales of DINH-Telecom for 2006 amounted to approximately EUR 8 million with good business profitability. The effect on Teleste's net sales in the second half of 2007 is estimated round EUR 6 million. The deal boosts Teleste's profitability for the current year while having no essential effect on Teleste's equity ratio or gearing. The acquisition increases the number of Teleste personnel by 20. The consolidated equity of the acquired companies at the time of the deal equals about EUR 4.4 million with the balance sheet total amounting to approximately EUR 5.8 million. The minimum contract price for the capital stock stands at EUR 6 million. This price may increase depending on the development of the net profit in the next two years. As to the contract price, one million euro was paid using Teleste's own shares and five million euro through a bank loan. Acquisition cost and the values recorded on the merger will be reported in the Interim Report 1 January to 30 June 2007, whereby the acquisition cost has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities. Outlook Broadband Cable Networks will continue to develop favourably. Along with control over costs of material, positive development of profitability for the rest of the year will be ascertained by the sustained favourable level of deliveries under frame agreements. The continued strong prospect list of Video Networks in traffic control and urban area surveillance solutions supports our view that the profitable growth of the business area will be maintained in 2007. In our view Teleste's net sales for 2007 will grow and the profitability improve in comparison with the previous year. Teleste's interim report for the January - June period will be published on 17.07.2007. 24 April 2007 Teleste Corporation Jukka Rinnevaara The Board of Directors President and CEO
