Cencorp Corporation writes down deferred tax assets Consolidated financial statements of Cencorp Corporation per December 31, 2005 included deferred tax assets worth of 1.690 million euros. Deferred tax assets were also noticed in the interim reports April 27, 2006, August 17, 2006, October 19, 2006 and in the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2006 and in the interim reports May 10, 2007, August 21, 2007 and November 6, 2007. Company has reappraised booking principles based on IAS 12.34 - 36 and IAS 12.56 of deferred tax assets. Furthermore, as part of an internal evaluation process related to the preparation of financial statements January 1- December 31, 2007 company has discussed with the Finnish Financial Supervision Authority concerning interpretation of IFRS standards. Based on the above referred, the Board of Directors of Cencorp Corporation have decided to adjust reference data concerning booking of deferred tax assets of years 2005 and 2006 according to IAS 8 in financial statements 2007. Corresponding adjustment concerning reference data will be included also to the interim reports dated on April 27, 2006, August 17, 2006, October 19, 2006, May 10, 2007, August 21, 2007 and November 6, 2007. Figures are not audited. Based on included adjustment, the deferred tax assets will not be included anymore in the financial statements January 1- December 31, 2007. Adjustment affects to the equity of the consolidated Cencorp Corporation but not to the equity of the parent company, so it is not relevant when calculating the equity ratio of Cencorp Corporation. Public warning by The Financial Supervision Authority to Cencorp Corporation Cencorp Corporation has today been notified of the following decision by the Financial Supervision Authority “PUBLIC WARNING BY FIN-FSA TO CENCORP FOR NEGLECT OF DISCLOSURE OBLIGATION” The Financial Supervision Authority (FIN-FSA) has issued a public warning to Cencorp Corporation for neglect of the disclosure obligation. The FIN-FSA is of the view that Cencorp's conduct has repeatedly during the year 2006 been in violation of financial markets provisions, since it has provided unjustified estimates of the company's prospects and has delayed the correction of these estimates and because, due to the recognition of a deferred tax asset, has failed to give a true and fair view of the result of the company's operations and financial position in its financial statements for 2005 and 2006. Due to the continuous and repetitive nature of the company's misconduct, FIN-FSA is of the opinion that the company's behavior qualifies for a public warning. The prospects of the company's net sales and results published by Cencorp in 2006 were unjustified, since in publishing its prospects, the company failed to pay due attention to its actual performance and uncertainties related to its business operations, such as changes in customers' purchasing behavior and tightening of the competitive situation. The further the period proceeded, the clearer the excessive optimism of the prospects became. The company revised its prospects during the period, but these changes were inadequate and were not made without undue delay. The company has failed to provide sufficient justifications for the guidance it issued. The financial statements for 2005 and 2006 failed to give a true and fair view of the result of the company's operations and financial position, as the consolidated financial statements contained a material error. The company should not have recognized deferred tax assets for the carry forward of unused tax losses in its consolidated financial statements for years 2005 and 2006. The criteria for recognizing a deferred tax asset for carry forward of unused tax losses were not met, since the company had a history of recent losses and it could not present in its consolidated financial statements for 2005 and 2006 other convincing evidence, as required by IAS 12 Income Taxes, that sufficient taxable profit would be available against which the unused tax losses could be utilized. The amount of the error was material, since the deferred tax asset, the recognition criteria of which was not met, amounted to 24% of equity in the consolidated balance sheet on 31 December 2005, and 51% of equity on 31 December 2006. The company announced its decision to restate in its financial statements for 2007 the comparative figures for 2005 and 2006 concerning the deferred tax asset. This is the first public warning issued by the FIN-FSA. A public warning is an administrative sanction, which the FIN-FSA has been authorized to issue since 2003. The decision is not legally final as Cencorp Corporation has the right to appeal the decision, issued on 3 March 2008, with the Market Court within 30 days of receiving the decision. FINANCIAL SUPERVISION AUTHORITY” Cencorp Corporation has made an internal investigation in the matter and restated in its financial statements for 2007 the comparative figures for 2005 and 2006 concerning the deferred tax asset as released on January 18, 2008. Opinion of Cencorp Corporation is that company has acted diligently in the matter and given the answers requested to the Financial Supervision Authority. According to the decision of the Financial Supervision Authority the matter as a whole does not require any stricter actions.

Business environment and customers Continuous demand for improved efficiency and newer ending cost cuttings are typical trends for the electronic industry, especially for EMS-companies. OEM customers are very demanding and sourcing agreement decisions and partner selections are made at very late phase. This leads into situation, that EMS companies has to delay capacity investment decisions into very late moment. This has direct impact to an equipment manufacturing companies like Cencorp, thus generating occasionally very tight delivery schedules. Euro is expected to keep strong against US dollar. This has set some challenges in machine pricing, especially in US. Apex exhibition, which was held in March at Las Vegas USA, is one of the leading trade shows in electronics industry. Exhibition was a success for Cencorp and we got some hard orders, even during the exhibition, which hasn't happened within several years. Us government has approved some investment support packages for smaller industries, and that may generate some unexpected demand for Cencorp products in 2008. Market overview in Europe has remained rather steady. Cencorp sales in Europe are mainly focused in automotive and industrial electronics. Asian markets are expected to develop steadily. Cencorp sales in Asia is focused in lower cost equipments and test products. Research and development Manufacturing of new Cencorp 1001 product line started as planned within first quarter and deliveries are started during the second quarter. Cencorp 1001 product line will replace some older generation products, originally designed and manufactured in USA. The R&D expenses for January-March totalled 4.7% of net sales, or EUR 0.2 (0.2) million. Share performance and changes in ownership The price of the company's share ranged from EUR 0.18 (1-3/2007: EUR 0.30) to EUR 0.25 (1-3/2007: EUR 0.46) over the review period, the average share price being EUR 0.22 (1-3/2007: EUR 0.40). A total of 2,061,956 (1-3/2007: 2,824,538) shares, or 6.0% (1-3/2007: 8.2 %) of the company's entire share capital, were traded during the period. The company's market capitalisation at the end of the review period was EUR 10 million (1-3/2007: EUR 11 million). At the end of the review period, the company had 5 316 registered shareholders (1-3/2007 6,006). A total of 164 413 shares were nominee registered (1-3/2007: 317,373), i.e., 0.4% (1-3/2007: 0.9 %). Cencorp had a total of 46,964,875 shares outstanding at the end of the review period (1-3/2007: 34,250,591), and one share series. Outlook for the future Despite improved profitability, competitive situation and general markets situation remains challenging. Thus Cencorp continues to improve internal efficiency. A development program was started at the end of Year 2007 to further reduce lead times significantly without loosing capabilities to provide customized products. The development of the laser technology related to semiconductor business are has taken much more time than expected. Cencorp's Board of Director's has decided that the know how generated from laser product development project will be utilized also into electronic industry and especially in cutting of Printed Circuit Boards. This project is estimated to generate cash flow during year 2009. Cencorp is updating it's laser business strategy and will give more information on August 21, 2008 when publishing interim report for the period of January 1-June 30, 2008. Future risks and uncertainty factors Short lead times and difficulties to predict customer demand are the biggest risks in terms of adjusting demand and supply. Sales volume development has the biggest impact on profitability development. Success of internal efficiency improvement programs has also important role in the profitability development.
