ASPOCOMP’S RECOVERY SLOWER THAN ANTICIPATED: WILL NOT REACH BREAK-EVEN IN 2006
The upturn of the Aspocomp Group’s profitability is taking place slower than

anticipated and contrary to earlier estimates, the profitability of the Group is

not expected to reach break-even by the end of the year. The result for the third

quarter of 2006 is anticipated to improve compared to the previous quarter and

the result for the last quarter to improve on the third quarter, but not to reach

break-even by the year end.
The full-year result is anticipated to be clearly unprofitable mainly due to the

Salo plant’s performance.
