REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                                

Overview                                                                        

Due to the rapid weakening in the global economy, strong fluctuations in the    
exchange rates and the tightening in the financial markets Teleste's business   
environment became increasingly uncertain and harder to predict towards the end 
of the year. The changes in the business environment made our clientele         
increasingly cautious regarding their investment plans, and the relevant        
projects were partially pushed back. Similarly, year-on-year framework          
deliveries were reduced. On the other hand, the developing Indian market was    
active and Teleste managed to secure the largest single order on record of EUR  
12.0 million from Digicable Networks PVT Ltd for delivery of IP-headends.       

Measures designed to increase flexibility in the cost structure were initiated  
in the second half of the year. Sufficient financing was secured by way of      
binding credit limits agreed with two separate banks. These limits amount to EUR
40 million in total and remain valid until November 2013.                       

Product development efforts continued on a par with last year. The most         
important project involved the video processing system making use of the        
IP-based technology.                                                            

Events after the End of the Period under Review                                 

The services business was strengthened right in the beginning of January 2009 by
acquiring three German companies providing network maintenance services to      
German operators. In 2009, the acquisitions will increase Teleste's net sales by
approximately EUR 30 million. The relevant acquisition cost calculation will be 
completed by the release of the interim report for Q1 of 2009.                  

With the share transactions carried out on 14 and 29 January 2009, EM Group Oy  
flagged their holding of Teleste to have increased up to 5.04% and 10.57%,      
respectively.                                                                   

Net Sales and Profitability                                                     

Teleste net sales totaled EUR 108.7 (125.1) million, a decrease of 13.1 % over  
the previous year. Net sales in Q4 amounted to EUR 28.1 (31.1) million.         

Operating profit stood at EUR 5.6 (13.2) million making 5.2 % (10.5 %) of the   
net sales. Operating profit for Q4 stood at EUR 1.6 (3.0) million making 5.6%   
(9.8%) of the net sales.                                                        

Orders received by the Group equaled last year's level, i.e. EUR 118.6 (118.5)  
million. Order accrual weakened for the amplifier solutions included in frame   
agreements, especially in the second half-year. Orders received in Q4 stood at  
EUR 25.3 (29.7) million. Teleste's order backlog grew by 11.6% amounting to EUR 
24.0 (21.5) million at the year-end. This increase in order backlog was mainly  
attributable to the significant contract of EUR 12 million secured in June by   
Broadband Cable Networks in India. Orders worth EUR 7.5 million entered in 2006 
and 2007 have been taken away from the order backlog as the relevant deliveries 
have been estimated uncertain.                                                  

Profit after financial items totaled EUR 5.1 (12.7) million while the net profit
after taxes equaled EUR 5.5 (9.4) million. Accounting period taxes include a tax
refund of EUR 1.3 million. The relevant adjustment applied to the tax           
deductibility of specific items for 2004 to 2006. Undiluted result per share for
the Group stood at EUR 0.32 (EUR 0.55). Return on capital employed amounted to  
10.4% (27.1%) and return on equity was 11.8% (22.2%).                           

R&D and Investments                                                             

R&D expenditure for the period under review totalled EUR 13.5 (13.1) million    
making 12.4% (10.5%) of net sales. The most significant R&D effort involved     
further development of the so-called Luminato video processing system based on  
Internet protocol. Our on-going product development efforts also included the   
broadband data transfer system EttH, the new generation amplifier technology    
Access, the high-density optics solution HDO, video surveillance transfer system
MP-X and the CCTV management system VMX. Specification of the Gateway involved  
in the last mile system FttX and the selection of partners for the              
implementation stage were successfully completed.                               

Some 60% (40%) of product development expenses involved further development of  
product platforms currently in production and their maintenance as well as      
customer-specific product applications. Activated product development expenses  
stood at EUR 2.5 (2.7) million. This capitalization mainly involved the         
IP-headend, EttH, and MP-X. Depreciation on activated R&D expenses amounted to  
EUR 2.2 (1.4) million.                                                          
The R&D expenditure in Q4 amounted to EUR 3.4 (3.5) million.                    

A number of Teleste's projects involved co-operation with Finnish universities  
and research institutes. 25% of Teleste's personnel (23%/2007, 22%/2006) worked 
in R&D related assignments.                                                     

Investments for the period under review totalled EUR 3.9 (12.3) million making  
3.6 % (9.8 %) of net sales. Investments of EUR 2.5 million involved product     
development while EUR 0.7 million included acquisitions. As to investments for  
the period, EUR 0.2 (1.8) million was carried out by financial leasing.         

Financing                                                                       

Liquidity of the Group remained good throughout the year. Operating cash flow   
stood at EUR 9.7 (12.0) million. At the end of the period, the amount of unused 
binding stand-by credits amounted to EUR 31.0 (23.0) million. The current       
binding stand-by credits of EUR 40.0 million run till November 2013. The Group's
equity ratio was 61.7% (60.2%) and gearing 3.6% (3.8%). Interest bearing debt on
31 December 2008 was EUR 11.0 (9.5) million.                                    

Personnel and Organisation                                                      

In 2008, the Group employed, on average, 702 people (681/2007, 608/2006). At the
year-end, the figure totaled 677 (672/2007, 621/2006) of which approximately 33%
(34%/2007, 30%/2006) were stationed overseas. The stated number of personnel    
does not include temporary labor averaging 29 (64) persons in the financial     
period. The number of temporary labor at the year-end was 8 (36).               

Employees stationed outside Europe accounted for less than 10% of the Group's   
personnel. Expenditure on employee benefits amounted to EUR 33.2 (31.5/2007,    
27.1/2006) million.                                                             

In the co-determination negotiations concluded in December, temporary lay-off of
the personnel was agreed upon as part of the cost structure adaptation          
procedures required by the market situation. Additional lay-offs involving      
personnel will be continued in a flexible manner as required by the market      
situation.                                                                      

Description of Business Areas and the Involved Key Risks                        

Founded in 1954, Teleste is a technology company currently running the business 
units of Broadband Cable Networks and Video Networks. In line with its strategy 
Teleste continues to focus on the chosen product and technology segments as well
services business. Integrated deliveries of solutions create favorable          
conditions for growth even if the involved resource allocation and technical    
implementation pose a challenge involving, therefore, also reasonable risks. The
current difficult situation in the financial market may slow down implementation
of investment plans among the clientele. The way customers proceed with their   
investments follows a typically cyclic pattern. In compliance with its strategy,
by increasing the services business Teleste intends to smoothen this cyclic     
pattern in its net sales. Furthermore, the prevailing circumstances may         
undermine the solvency of some customers.                                       

Correct technological choices and their timing are vital for the success of our 
business areas. It is equally important to take into account any developments in
the market such as consolidations taking place among the clientele and          
competition. Much of Teleste's competition comes from the USA and, therefore,   
strong euro up against the US dollar erodes the company competitiveness. Teleste
hedges against short-term currency exposure by means of forward contracts.      

The Board of Directors annually reviews any essential risks related to the      
company operation and management thereof. Risk management has been integrated   
into the strategic and operative practices of our business areas. Risks and     
their probability are reported to the Board with regular monthly reporting.     
The company has covered risks related to damage in operative functions of the   
business areas mainly by insurance policies. These insurances do not include    
credit loss risks. No such risks materialized in 2008, and no legal proceedings 
or judicial procedures were pending that would have had any essential           
significance for the Group operation.                                           

Broadband Cable Networks                                                        

Broadband Cable Networks provides its main clientele of cable operators with    
equipment and systems designed for the construction of transmission network and 
signal processing. Deliveries include individual pieces of equipment and turnkey
networks alike. Increasingly the business also makes available a number of      
services related to the maintenance and engineering of network infrastructure.  

The main market area of Broadband Cable Networks is Europe, which business area 
involves 21 own sales offices supported by a number of retail and integration   
partners. Outside Europe, Broadband Cable Networks has own offices located in   
China and India. Acquired in February 2008, Ortikon Interactive Oy strengthens  
the provision of IPTV solutions for the business area.                          

The product development efforts of the business area focused, in particular, on 
further development of the IP-based headend system Luminato, the broadband data 
transfer system EttH, the new generation amplifier technology presented by      
Access and the high-definition fibre-optic solution HDO.                        

Orders received by Broadband Cable Networks were level with the year of         
comparison standing at EUR 101.4 (101.4) million. The order backlog was         
strengthened by the order of EUR 12.0 million received from India in June for   
the Luminato headend solution. The related deliveries are expected to start     
towards the end of first half of 2009.                                          

Net sales fell by 14.4% (+26.5 %) standing at EUR 92.6 (108.2) million. This    
reduction in net sales was mainly caused by a decrease in amplifier deliveries  
based on the frame agreements.                                                  

Operating profit decreased by 52.4% (+41.7%) standing at EUR 6.1 (12.8) million.
Weakening in the operating profit was mainly due to diminished net sales.       

At the year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 21.0 (19.7) million. Orders worth   
EUR 7.5 million entered in 2006 and 2007 have been deleted from the order       
backlog as the relevant deliveries have come to be deemed uncertain.            

Orders received in the last quarter of the period under review remained at EUR  
19.7 (25.2) million. The decrease in the order accrual for Q4 over the period of
comparison was caused by a reduction in orders on amplifier deliveries related  
to frame agreements and a weakening in orders obtained from the Eastern Europe. 

Net sales for Q4 amounted to EUR 23.8 (25.5) million while the operating profit 
stood at EUR 1.7 (2.3) million.                                                 

Video Networks                                                                  

Primary clientele of Video Networks includes public sector organizations and    
system integrators. The business area is specializing in high-quality video     
surveillance transfer and management systems carrying real-time video, audio and
data. The product development efforts of the business area focused particularly 
on further development of IP-based video surveillance transfer systems MP-X and 
the CCTV management system VMX.                                                 

The business has seven sales offices in Europe with two overseas, in the United 
States and Australia, more specifically. Sales offices in Thailand and China    
were closed in 2008.                                                            

Orders received by Video Networks were level with the year of comparison        
amounting to EUR 17.2 (17.1) million. Net sales fell by 4.8 % (+4.3 %) standing 
at EUR 16.1 (16.9) million. Operating profit was EUR 0.5 (+0.3) million in the  
red. Weakened profitability was mainly caused by diminished net sales. At the   
year-end, order backlog stood at EUR 3.0 (1.8) million.                         

In the last quarter of the year under review, orders received amounted to EUR   
5.6 (4.5) million with net sales equaling EUR 4.4 (5.5) million. The            
year-on-year decrease in the net sales is attributable to rescheduling of       
deliveries agreed with specific customers. Operating profit was EUR 0.1 million 
in the red (0.7 million in the black) due to low volume of net sales.           

In 2009, price competition will continue to intensify, especially in the area of
network solutions. Large companies have entered the market with determination.  
Moreover, technology involved in these applications is renewing rapidly.

own shares based on authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting. In     
compliance with the Board's decision, in the review period 421,470 shares were  
purchased out of the total amount of 500,000; the purchase price averaged EUR   
3.29 per share. At the end of December, the number of own shares in the Group   
possession stood at 766,191 (352,482) out of which Teleste Corporation had      
266,191 shares and the subsidiary Teleste Incentive Oy had 500,000 shares,      
respectively. The Group's holding of the total amount of shares at the end of   
the period amounted to 4.3% (1.9%).                                             

In the period under review, 7,761 own shares were conveyed to the Management    
Team share bonus scheme. This equals 0.04 % of the total number of shares. On 22
December 2008, 500,000 own shares were conveyed unrequited to Teleste Incentive 
Oy owned 100% by Teleste Corporation.                                           

In the review period, 134,285 new shares were subscribed by Teleste 2002B       
options.                                                                        

The 2004B options received by Teleste key personnel were listed in NASDAQ OMX   
Helsinki Oy on 1 April 2008.                                                    

On behalf of their customers, Schroder Investment Management Limited flagged    
their holding of Teleste to have decreased below five per cent by transactions  
performed on 22 July 2008. New holding at the moment of flagging was 4.96% of   
the company share capital and 4.42% of the votes.                               

At the balance sheet date, the registered share capital of Teleste stood at EUR 
6,966,932.80 divided in 17,805,590 shares.                                      

Other matters affecting the company governance will be stated in the Annual     
Report under Good Governance.                                                   

Outlook for 2009                                                                

As the offering of services for the clientele of Broadband Cable Networks       
increases and becomes more versatile and with the competition intensifying, the 
operators will need to invest in increased network capacity and improved        
quality. The competitive solutions of the business area and the strengthening in
the demand for the services business ensure our strong market position in the   
current challenging business environment.                                       

Increased needs for security and more effective traffic infrastructure push up  
demand for solutions by Video Networks. We estimate the demand for Video        
Networks' high-quality video surveillance solutions and the systems designed for
the industry to remain at a reasonable level in 2009.                           

In the prevailing uncertain market situation, regardless of the increasing      
demand by the end-users, our clientele may be cautious with their network       
investments, which can cause delays in the final investment decisions in the    
first half of 2009. We believe the market situation to normalize towards the end
of the year and get back on the growth path.                                    

Teleste will keep its strong market position it the core markets and continue to
implement its strategy in a goal-directed manner while adapting its cost        
structure as required. In 2009, the recent strategic investments in the services
business performed by Teleste cushion the cyclic pattern in the company net     
sales under the uncertain market conditions.                                    

Due to the temporary delays in network investments, preparations for weakening  
net sales and profitability will be made in the 2009 operating plan at least for
the first half of the year.

The range of products and services of Broadband Cable Networks was strengthened 
by acquisition of 100% of shares of Finish Ortikon Interactive Oy at 6 February 
2008. The purchase price was 100 thousand EUR and it was paid in cash. The      
acquisition resulted in 202 thousands EUR of intangible assets, which was       
allocated to trade marks, customer relationships and technology. The goodwill,  
amounted 605 thousands EUR, is mainly due to synergy effects in the future. The 
impact of the acquisition on Teleste's net sales during the period was 563      
thousand EUR and on the EBIT -119 thousands EUR
