CEO'S REVIEW
Year 2010 continued with strong demand. Especially telecom infrastructure and
automotive electronics sectors experienced exceptionally strong demand.
Consequently the second quarter net sales almost doubled compared to the weak
reference period. Due to the improved sales and cost savings measures carried
through in 2009 the net result was clearly positive.
The cash flow stayed on black although most of the planned investments for the
year 2010 were made during the first two quarters.
We expect the demand to normalize towards the end of the year, though on higher
level than last year.
NET SALES AND EARNINGS IN APRIL-JUNE
Second-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 5.4 million, up 90 percent on 4-6/2009.
The five largest customers accounted for 82 percent of net sales (80%). In
geographical terms, 96 percent of net sales were generated in Europe (80%) and 4
percent in Asia (20%).

The operating result was EUR 1.6 million (-1.2). Earnings improved thanks to

share were EUR 0.02 (-0.03).

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.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY OF THE PARENT COMPANY
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, the Trade Register has
been notified of the loss of share capital on May 14, 2008. The shareholders'

representing 0.4 percent of the aggregate votes conferred by all the shares.
A total of 24 304 927 Aspocomp Group Plc. shares were traded on NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2010. The aggregate value
of the shares exchanged was EUR 3 590 826. The shares traded at a low of EUR

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
Lähdesmäki, and Kari Vuorialho. The Meeting re-elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy
as the company's auditor for the 2010 financial year.
Annual remuneration of EUR 24 000 will be paid to the chairman of the Board and
EUR 12 000 to the other Board members. 60 percent of the annual remuneration
will be paid in cash and 40 percent in company shares, which will be acquired
and distributed to Board members. EUR 1 000 per meeting will be paid to the
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
travel and lodging expenses. The auditor will be paid according to invoice.
The Annual General Meeting decided to amend the Articles of Association so that
a following sentence was added at the end of the Article 10 (notice of meeting):
However, the notice to the Annual General Meeting must be conveyed no later
than nine (9) days before the record date of the Annual General Meeting. The
amendment is based on the recent amendment of Companies Act.
THE BOARD OF ASPOCOMP GROUP PLC., AUTHORIZATIONS GIVEN TO THE BOARD
In its organization meeting, the Board of Directors of Aspocomp Group Plc.
re-elected Tuomo Lähdesmäki as chairman of the Board. As the Board only
comprises three (3) members, Board committees were not established.
The Annual General Meeting 2008 of Aspocomp Group Plc. authorized the Board to
decide on issuing new shares and conveying the Aspocomp shares held by the
company. A maximum of 55 000 000 new shares can be issued and/or granted on the
basis of special rights. The authorization is valid five years from the
respective Annual General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting 2008 also decided about issuing stock options to the
CEO. The Board of Directors has not granted the said stock options.
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 June 30, 2010 had a nominal
value of about EUR 24.1 million and amounted to about EUR 22.3 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.
The aforementioned compensations 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
Aspocomp's financial position is satisfactory. The lean cost structure and the
outlook for operations in Oulu enable the continuity of the Group's operations.
As operations focus on prototypes and quick-turn deliveries, it is very
difficult to forecast full-year net sales. Due to the improvement in demand, 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.
