Near-term Risks and Uncertainties Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly undermine the growth of Comptel's business and its profitability. Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the company's reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling and Norwegian Krone affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit. The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still partly pending with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed also concerning the countries where the issue is still unsolved. The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in the company's Annual Report 2009. Outlook Comptel's net sales are estimated to grow slightly in 2010. The full year operating profit is estimated to grow and operating profit margin is forecast to be 10 - 14 per cent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes 1. Application of new or amended standards and interpretations On 1 January 2010 the Group adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations endorsed by the EU and that are applicable to Comptel: Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The scope of the revised IFRS 3 is broader than before. In respect of Comptel several significant amendments have been made to the standard. The amendments impact the amount of goodwill to be recognised on business combinations and sales results of businesses. The amendments also have an effect on the amounts to be recognised in profit or loss both on the financial year when the business combination is effected and in those financial years when contingent consideration is paid or further acquisitions are made. Under the transitional provisions of the standard those business combinations where control is transferred prior to the effective date of the revised standard are not adjusted to comply with the new rules. Amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. If the parent company retains control, the amended standard requires impacts from changes in ownership in a subsidiary be recognised directly in Group's equity. When control is lost, the remaining interest is measured at fair value through profit or loss. A similar accounting treatment will be extended to investments in associated companies (IAS 28) and interests in joint ventures (IAS 31) in the future. Resulting from the amendments losses of a subsidiary may be allocated to non-controlling interest (minority) also when they exceed the value of the minority shareholders' investment. Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Eligible Hedged Items). The amendment deals with hedge accounting and relate to designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item and designation of inflation in a financial hedged item. IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-Cash Assets to Owners. The interpretation gives guidelines to a situation when owners receive dividends in other forms than cash or the owners have the possibility to select whether they will receive non-cash assets or cash. Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009) (mainly effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). Under this procedure minor and non-urgent amendments are grouped together and carried out through a single document annually. The related amendments deal with 12 standards. Impacts vary by standard but the amendments are not significant for the Group. 2.

Income tax expense The tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period was EUR 1,826 thousand (EUR 1,105 thousand 2009). In 2006, Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations refused to accept the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004 and 2005. The Ministry of Finance has come to an agreement with Greece and Romania. Relating to these countries, Comptel has booked EUR 595 thousand tax receivables for taxes withheld in 2004 -2008. The refund process pertaining to these countries is still pending with the relevant tax authorities. Comptel is pursuing the negotiations with the Ministry of Finance and other countries that have withheld tax at source to avoid double taxation. Comptel believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 713 thousand in January - September 2010(EUR 904 thousand). In June 2010, the Finnish tax authority credited a total of EUR 844 thousand for the withholding taxes Comptel has paid in Brazil and China and which had been collected again in Finland. 4.
