Demand for sensors is expected to grow by 12-16 percent this year (Yole, IC Insights). In addition to the traditional sensor segments, new micro-electromechanical sensor products are being introduced onto the market, the demand for which is anticipated to exceed the standard growth level of the industry. Market growth within the semiconductor industry is expected to remain below ten percent this year (SIA, WSTS, Gartner, IC Insights). According to the prevailing industry forecasts, the total volume of silicon wafer supplies is expected to grow by nearly ten percent in 2008. The growth will be most prominent in wafers with a 300 mm diameter. Market growth in relation to smaller wafer sizes is expected to be low and to be realised only in the latter part of the year. Demand for sensor wafers is expected to increase (IC Insights). Net sales for the first half of 2008 are expected to amount to around 34 million euro and operating profit is expected to account for around 12 percent of net sales. MARKETS Growth within the sensor industry remained steady in the early part of the year. Demand for micro-mechanical sensors increased reasonably well. Semiconductor sales were comparable to the corresponding period in the previous year (SIA, WSTS). The growth in the demand for silicon wafers has mostly affected large, 300 mm wafer sizes. Demand for smaller, 100-200 mm semiconductor wafers, which are important for Okmetic, fell slightly below the levels of the corresponding period in the previous year, according to the prevailing market forecasts. SALES The group's net sales amounted to 17.0 million euro (17.3 million euro). Net sales per customer segment -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 2008 | (2007) | | | from beginning of year | (on average) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sensors | 34% | (34%) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Semiconductors | 43% | (56%) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Technology | 23% | (10%) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technology sales, in addition to our own expert manufacturing services, also include crystal sales. The fact that revenues from manufacturing expertise sales are recorded in periodic instalments, and also the fluctuations with respect to the volume of crystal sales, cause clear variations in the percentage of net sales per customer group and market area during each quarter. Sales by Okmetic to the sensor market increased and developed on target. Sensor wafers are used in the automotive, aviation and medical industries, for example, as well as in consumer applications. As a sensor wafer supplier, Okmetic is the global market leader. Sales of semiconductor wafers decreased slightly. Typically, semiconductor wafers are used in consumer electronics, telecommunications and automotive applications. Demand for semiconductor wafers experienced a decline in the early part of the year. The position is expected to improve in the latter half of the year. Net sales per market area -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 2008 | (2007) | | | from beginning of year | (on average) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | North America | 40% | (48 %) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Europe | 42% | (32 %) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Asia | 18% | (20 %) | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluctuations in the principal invoice currency of each operating area had a significant effect on the various market area segments. PROFIT Okmetic group's profit for the period was 1.6 million euro (2.4 million euro). Earnings per share amounted to 0.10 euro (0.14 euro). The fact that revenues from technology sales are recorded in periodic instalments caused significant variations in the interim results. FINANCE AND INVESTMENT The group's financial situation is good. Its net cash flow from operating activities amounted to 2.3 million euro (1.6 million euro). The value added tax liabilities and receivables resulting from an internal business acquisition that was concluded in Finland at the turn of the year have been paid. The group's investment costs amounted to 0.3 million euro. At the end of the financial period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 15.1 million euro (13.8 million euro). Return on equity amounted to 14.2 percent (23.5%). The group's equity ratio strengthened, amounting to 57.4 percent (51.2%). Shareholders' equity per share amounted to 2.76 euro (2.49 euro). PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Product development accounted for 3.0 percent (2.7%) of the net sales of Okmetic. PERSONNEL The number of employees at Okmetic averaged 355 (360) of whom, at the end of the financial period, 310 were located in Finland, 46 in the USA and three in Japan. OPERATIONAL RISKS The majority of Okmetic's sales are concluded in US dollars, and a relatively small proportion in Japanese yen. The US dollar has fallen significantly since the start of the year. Despite hedging, the company remains vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations. The demand for polycrystalline silicon, the principal raw material of silicon wafers, has exceeded supply since 2006, thereby reducing its availability and increasing the cost. The company anticipates that, throughout 2008, this availability will continue at a low level, and the price will remain high. The company has secured access to the raw material through long-term purchase agreements. The semiconductor market operates in cycles. This cyclical effect is currently at a low, and the demand for semiconductors is reduced. Demand is anticipated to increase towards the end of the year. Technology sales, due to the sales structure, vary significantly during different periods. SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT AND TRADING A total of 2.2 million shares (3.2 million shares) were traded in the period 1.1. - 31.3.2008, representing 12.8 percent (18.9%) of the total shares of 16.9 million. The lowest quotation of the period was 2.20 euro (3.34 euro) and the highest was 3.14 euro per share (4.38 euro), with an average of 2.63 euro (3.88 euro). The closing quotation for the period was 2.48 euro (3.85 euro). The total market value of the share capital amounted to 41.9 million euro (65.0 million euro) at the end of the financial period. OWN SHARES The company has not redeemed its own shares and the board of directors has not been authorised to redeem or surrender the company's own shares. OPTIONS The company has not issued any option rights. AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO INCREASE SHARE CAPITAL The annual general meeting held on 3.4.2008 authorised the board of directors to decide on share issue, share option rights or any other share entitlement pursuant to paragraph 1(10) of the Finnish Companies Act. The aggregate number of shares issued on the basis of the authorisation may not exceed 3,377,500 shares, which represents approximately 20 percent of the total number of shares of the company. The board of directors is authorised to decide upon any terms and conditions concerning the issue of shares or share options or any other share entitlement. The issue of shares or option rights or any other share entitlement may be effected as a directed issue. The authorisation will be effective until the following annual general meeting of shareholders.

Vantaa, 29.4.2008 Board of directors FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1.1. - 31.3.2008 (unaudited) ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 standard. In preparing these interim financial statements, Okmetic has followed the same accounting policies as in the financial statements for 2007 except for the effect of changes required by the adoption of the following new standards, interpretations or revisions to published standards adopted on 1 January 2008: - IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and treasury share transactions' provides guidance on whether share-based transactions involving treasury shares or involving group entities should be accounted for as equity settled or cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the stand-alone accounts of the parent and group companies. This interpretation does not have any impact on the group's financial statements.
