Pertti Huuskonen, President and CEO:
“The Group's business developed favorably in the review period. Our net sales
and EBITDA improved over the preceding year's corresponding period. The main
event of the period was the expansion of Technopolis to Kuopio, as the
acquisition of Kuopion Teknologiakeskus Teknia Oy was closed. In Tampere, the
Hermia 12 property was completed on schedule, and we acquired a plot of land in
the city center, located adjacent to the University of Tampere. In the Group's
ongoing building projects, we advanced as planned.”
Business
The Group's net sales for the review period were EUR 16.4 million (EUR 13.6
million in 1-3/2007), representing growth of 20.5 %. Of the net sales for the
period, rental income accounted for 81.9 % (81.0 %) and service income for 18.1
% (19.0 %). EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) for the review period was EUR 8.8 million (EUR 6.4 million), an
increase of 38.4 %. Other operating income includes a nonrecurring capital gain
of EUR 0.4 million and nonrecurring compensation of EUR 0.5 million for
premature lease termination. Operating profit for the review period was EUR
10.8 million (EUR 8.4 million). Depreciation according to plan includes a
nonrecurring item of EUR 0.4 million. The Group's net financial expenses
totaled EUR 3.1 million (EUR 1.9 million). Profit before taxes for the review
period was EUR 7.7 million (EUR 6.5 million).
The balance sheet total was EUR 630.5 million (EUR 435.5 million), an increase
of 44.8 %. The Group's equity to assets ratio at the end of the period was 32.9
% (38.2 %).
The fair value of the Group's investment properties at the end of the review
period was EUR 549.0 million (EUR 394.8 million). The change in the fair value
of investment properties was due to the effect of the fair value of properties
bought and completed, changes in the return requirements of the market, changes
in future returns and modernization costs, the revaluation of properties owned
throughout the review period, and increases in acquisition costs recognized in
separate companies during the review period. The effect on profit of the change
in the fair value of investment properties during the period was EUR 2.6
million (EUR 2.2 million).
The Group's total rentable surface area was 412,293 floor square meters at the
end of the review period (348,415 floor square meters at March 31, 2007). The
Group's average financial occupancy ratio at the end of the period was 96.8 %
(94.5 %). The financial occupancy ratio describes the rental revenue from the
properties as a percentage of the combined total of the rent for the leased
space and the estimated market rent for the vacant space. The Group's leases at
the end of the review period totaled EUR 120.4 million (EUR 119.6 million).

Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting of March 27, 2008 confirmed the consolidated and
parent company financial statements for the 2007 financial year, released the
company's management from further liability and approved the Board of
Director's proposal to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share for the year
that ended on December 31, 2007.
The Annual General Meeting decided to amend the paragraph of the Articles of
Association concerning the term of the Board of Directors to state that the
term of Board members shall expire no later than at the end of the Annual
General Meeting held in the second financial year after their election.
It was decided to elect six members to the company's Board of Directors. Jussi
Kuutsa, Matti Pennanen, Timo Ritakallio, Erkki Veikkolainen and Juha Yli-Rajala
were elected for a term that begins at the close of the General Meeting
deciding on their election and expires at the close of the subsequent Annual
General Meeting. The company's current President and CEO Pertti Huuskonen was
elected as the full-time Chairman of the Board for a term that will begin when
the company's next President and CEO has been entered in the Trade Register and
will expire at the close of the Annual General Meeting held in the second
financial year following his election. Timo Parmasuo was elected as the
Chairman of the Board for a term that begins at the close of the General

to approximately 9.07 % of the company's total shares. Pursuant to the
authorization, the company's own shares may be acquired only with unrestricted
equity at the price arrived at in public trading on the date of acquisition or
at a price otherwise established on the market. The Board of Directors shall
decide on how the shares are to be acquired. Derivatives may be used in the
acquisition. Shares may be acquired in deviation from the proportional holdings
of shareholders (directed acquisition). The authorization revokes the
authorization given by the Annual General Meeting of March 29, 2007, and shall
be valid until May 31, 2009, at the latest.

concern both the issuing of new shares and the conveyance of the company's own
shares. The share issue and the issuing of special rights giving entitlement to
shares may be offered to certain parties. The authorization does not revoke the
authorization given to the Board by the General Meeting of November 29, 2007 to
decide on the issuing of shares as well as on the issuing of stock options and
other special rights giving entitlement to shares. The authorization shall be
valid until May 31, 2009, at the latest.
Events after the reporting period
At the beginning of April, Technopolis Plc signed a EUR 100 million financing
agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB). The financing agreement
consists of a EUR 100 million line of credit, valid for 18 months from the
agreement signing date. According to the agreement, the EIB will finance the
company's future expansion projects in Finland.
On April 14, 2008, the Financial Supervision Authority approved Technopolis
Plc's registration document that, as provided by the Securities Markets Act,
contains information on the company, its business operations and financial
position. The registration document is valid for a period of up to 12 months
following its publication.
The registration document, which was published on April 17, 2008, will be
available for the period of its validity in the Finnish language under
'Sijoittajille' at the Company's website at www.technopolis.fi. In addition,
printed copies of the registration document are available in the Finnish and
English languages at the company's office at Technopolis Plc, Elektroniikkatie
8, FI-90570 Oulu, as well as at OMX Way, the service point of OMX Nordic
Exchange Helsinki Ltd at Fabianinkatu 14, FI-00100 Helsinki.
Evaluation of operational risks and uncertainty factors
The most significant risks related to Technopolis's business operations are
mainly financial risks and customer risks.
Technopolis' main financial risk is the interest rate risk related to the loan
portfolio. The objective of interest rate risk management is to lower or remove
the negative impact of market rate fluctuation on the Group's performance,
balance sheet and cash flow. The company's financing policy aims to diversify
the interest rate risk of loan contracts over various loan periods on the basis
of the market situation prevailing at any particular time and the interest rate
prognosis created in the company. If necessary, the company will employ forward
rate agreements, interest rate swaps and interest rate options. In order to
manage financial risk, Technopolis uses a wide range of financing companies and
maintains a high capital adequacy level.
Technopolis only uses derivatives to reduce or remove financial risks in the
balance sheet.
With the structure of the Technopolis loan portfolio at the end of the review
period, a one percentage point increase in money market rates would increase
interest rate costs by EUR 1.3 million per annum.
Due to the interest rate risk related to loans, a policy of diversification has
been followed. On March 31, 2008, 71.0 % of long-term loans was bound to the
3-12 month Euribor rate. Of the long-term loans, 29.0 % of the loans was
fixed-interest loans of 13-60 months. The long-term loans' average
capital-weighted outstanding loan period was 11.0 years. Technopolis
supplements its total financing with a EUR 90.0 million domestic commercial
paper program which allows the company to issue commercial papers with a
maturity of less than a year. The commercial papers in issue totaled EUR 32.8
million on March 31, 2008.
Changes in the exchange rates between the Russian ruble and euro may have an
effect on the company's financial situation and operations. Business
transactions denominated in rubles are recorded at the exchange rate of the
transaction date. Any translation differences are entered in the income
statement under other operating expenses or financial income and expenses
depending on the nature of the transaction. The purchase of land in St.
Petersburg was financed in local currency. Currency risks have been minimized
by applying a currency swap.
Customer risk management aims to minimize the negative impact of any changes in
customers' financial situation on the business and the company's profit. In
customer risk management, the emphasis is on familiarity with the customer's
business and active monitoring of customer information. As part of customer
risk management, Technopolis's leases include rent collateral arrangements.
Properties are insured with full value insurance.
The Group's property portfolio is divided geographically between the Capital
area, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Lappeenranta, Tampere and the Oulu region. No single
customer accounts for more than 9.9 % of the Group's net sales. The Group has a
total of about 1,150 customers, which operate in several different sectors.
The company's leases can be divided into two categories, fixed-term leases and
leases valid until further notice. The company aims to apply both types of
leases depending on the market situation, property and the nature of the
lessee's business area.
In new building projects, Technopolis focuses on quality determination and the
manageability of the property's entire lifecycle. In the design phase, all the
building's maintenance and service requirements are taken into account, with
the aim of implementing environmentally friendly solutions in terms of energy
consumption, the adaptability of office facilities, and recycling
possibilities. In connection with property purchases, Technopolis carries out
the normal property and environmental assessments before committing to the
transaction.
Changes in market return requirements may have a substantial effect on profit
performance. When return requirements increase, the fair value of properties
decreases, and when return requirements decrease, the fair value of properties
increases. The changes have either an increasing or decreasing effect on the
Group operating profit.
Outlook for the future
Technopolis management expects that demand for the company's high tech
operating environments will be satisfactory in 2008 and that the occupancy
ratio of its facilities and demand for their services will remain good.
Technopolis estimates that its net sales and EBITDA for 2008 excluding sales
profits will grow by 18-22 % on the previous year.
As part of its strategy for growth, Technopolis aims to operate in the top high
technology cities in Finland, as well as in Russia and 1-2 other countries by
2011. The Group aims to increase its net sales by an average of 15 % annually.
It seeks to grow organically as well as through acquisitions.
The Group's financial performance is dependent on trends in the general
operating environment, in customer business, in the financial markets and in
the return requirements for properties. Changes occurring in these areas may
affect the Group's result through changes in occupancy ratios, the use of
services, financing costs, the fair values of properties and office rent
levels.
