CEO'S REVIEW
During the third quarter the demand normalized as expected, though on higher
level than last year. The net sales increased compared to the reference period
and earnings were clearly positive.
Cash flow from operations has been strong throughout the year. Although the
company has invested more than usual, the cash flow after investments remains
clearly positive. Consequently, the company was able to repay some debt under
the voluntary debt restructuring agreement.
We expect the demand to stay on the same level for the rest of the year.

GROUP STRUCTURE
Aspocomp Oulu Oy - in which Aspocomp has a 90 percent holding - manufactures and
sells PCBs for telecom, industrial, and automotive electronics applications. Its
service portfolio includes prototype and quick-turn deliveries, fulfillment of
urgent PCB needs in high-volume operations as well as development and
commercialization of new technologies. Aspocomp Oulu Oy's primary technologies
are HDI (High Density Interconnection), multilayer and special material PCBs.
Aspocomp has a 20 percent stake in Meadville Aspocomp (BVI) Holdings Limited
(MAH). The company's production facility in Suzhou, China is a volume
manufacturer of HDI and multilayer PCBs.
Aspocomp's 20 percent stake is booked into the balance sheet at its minimum
value, which is based on the option agreement made in connection with the
ownership arrangements in 2007. The minimum value is EUR 16.3 million at the end
of the period, and it increases by 2.5 percent annually until the option is
exercised. Details of the option agreement can be found in the press release of
Meadville Holdings published on November 16, 2007: Major transaction -
acquisitions and resumption of trading, pages 8-9
(www.meadvillegroup.com/announcements.html).
As MAH-stake is related to the aforementioned option arrangement, it is
categorized as other non-current receivables in the balance sheet.
As the stake is valued at the minimum value based on the option agreement, the
financial performance of MAH does not impact on the value of the stake.
On November 16, 2009, Meadville announced that it will sell its PCB business to
TTM Technologies, Inc., which is listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. The
deal was completed on April 9, 2010. Meadville's 80 percent stake in MAH and 10
percent holding in Aspocomp Oulu Oy are included in this deal. The parties have
signed transfer agreements, in which Meadville's rights and liabilities related
to the MAH are transferred to TTM.
In addition, Aspocomp holds a 13.2 percent share in the Thai company PCB Center
and a 5.3 percent share in Imbera Electronics. PCB Center's production is
currently stopped due to a fire at the plant, however this has no material
financial impact on Aspocomp.

DECISIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of Aspocomp Group Plc. held on April 13, 2010
re-elected the current Board and decided that the remunerations of the members
of the Board will remain the same as in 2009. The General Meeting also decided
to amend the company's Articles of Association. Furthermore, the Meeting decided
not to pay dividend for the period.
The Annual General Meeting decided to set the number of Board members at three
(3) and re-elected the current members of the Board: Johan Hammarén, Tuomo

chairman and EUR 500 per meeting to the other members. The members of the Board
residing outside of the Greater Helsinki Area are reimbursed for reasonable

Details of the authorizations can be found on pages 10-11 of the Annual Report
2008 (www.aspocomp.com/linked/investor/ar_2008.pdf).
ASSESSMENT OF BUSINESS RISKS
Significant indebtedness
The Aspocomp Group's interest-bearing liabilities at September 30, 2010 had a
nominal value of about EUR 23.6 million and amounted to about EUR 21.9 million
under IFRS.
Liquidity and financial risks
Because of the agreement on debt restructuring, management of the Group's
liquidity risk is based on the cash assets of the parent company and the cash
flow generated by the Oulu plant. If Aspocomp Group Plc. does not obtain
financing from Aspocomp Oulu Oy or other ways of financing, the company may
ultimately become insolvent.
Litigations
In 2007, the French Supreme Court ordered the company to pay approximately EUR
11 million, including annual interest of about 7 percent, to 388 former
employees of Aspocomp S.A.S. In January 2009, the Labor Court of Evreux, France
ruled that the company has to pay approximately EUR 0.5 million in compensation,
with interest, to a further 13 former employees. Aspocomp has appealed the
January 2009 decision to the next instance in France.
In May 2010, the Court of Appeal of Rouen did not change the decision rendered
by the Labor Court of Evreux on January 2009 and ruled that Aspocomp Group Plc
has to pay to thirteen former employees of its French Subsidiary, Aspocomp
S.A.S., approximately EUR 527 000 including the interest. Aspocomp has not yet
been formally notified of the decision.
In October 2010 Aspocomp was informed that six former employees re-raised their
earlier suspended cases in a French Court. The related hearings will be held on
February 2011. The total amount of the claims is EUR 213 000.
The aforementioned compensations and claims do not have a profit impact during
the financial year, because Aspocomp has made a reservation in its financial
statements 2007. The claims are related to the notice time salaries of the
closed, heavily loss-making Evreux plant. The closure took place in 2002.
There is a risk that the remaining approximately 100 employees may also
institute proceedings. Under legislation that came into effect in June 2008, the
statute of limitations for filing a suit is five years after the law came into
effect.
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
The lean cost structure and the outlook for operations in Oulu enable the
continuity of the Group's operations. The net sales will increase significantly
and the net result will be positive for full year 2010.
In addition to developing the continuing operations of the company, the Board of
Directors is looking into various structural development solutions, including
carrying out company reorganization in the future.
