FINANCIAL RESULTS 9M 2002

Sales revenue
During the accounting period the economic situation in Estonia has been
relatively stable. According to the data of the Estonian Market Research
Institute, in nine months of the current year the order volumes for industrial
products exceeded their usual level and the output volumes sustained a growing
trend. There have also been more export orders than usual.

The construction market is still experiencing a boom and the institute
anticipates that the fourth quarter will be more favourable than usually. The
upsurge that took off in the electrical engineering industry in the preceding
years has lasted till the present day. AS Harju Elekter's domestic market is
driven by building and renovation activities and the demand for products
primarily used for electrical engineering purposes. The energy,
infrastructure, building and wholesale companies have placed increasingly more
orders on the domestic as well as on external markets.

The consolidated net sales and revenues for nine months of 2002 amounted to
EEK 186.6 million (EUR 11.9 mil.). Compared with the same period last year,
the Group's turnover grew by 37.6 per cent, whereas in Q3 the sales surpassed
the respective indicator for the previous year by 31.5 per cent. Sales on the
Estonian market accounted for 59.0 per cent of the consolidated net sales and
revenues (2001 9m: 59.4%), marking a 36.6 per cent rise in comparison with the
nine month period in 2001, and on the external markets EEK 76.5 million (EUR
4.9 mil.) which is 39.1 per cent more than during the same period last year.

Driven by the growing demand on the electrical engineering market,
manufacturing and marketing of electrical equipment increased by 61.8 %
within nine months and the acquisition of the new subsidiary added another
12.1 per cent at the expense of the turnover, totalling 80.3 per cent and
representing 41.8 per cent of the sales volume (2001 9m: 31.9%).

Profit
The Group's operating profit for the nine month period was EEK12.5 million or
EUR 797 thousand (2001 9m: EEK 9.5 mil. or EUR 606 thou.), in comparison with
the same period last year the growth has been 31.4 per cent, The operating
profit for Q3 was EEK 6.0 million or EUR 382 thousand which is 1.6 times
higher than in 2001. If the profit margin for the nine month period remained
practically on the year 2001 level, then in the third quarter a 9.7 per cent
profit margin was achieved (2001 Q3: 8.0%).

Income from financing activities was EEK 7.5 million or EUR 481 thousand (2001
9m:EEK 8.2 mil. or EUR 526 thou.). Altogether EEK 3.6 million (EUR 233 thou.)
were consolidated from the related companies in the third quarter. In total,
the 2.6 million kroon (EUR 166 thou.) income from financing activities that
was received in Q3 of the current year surpassed the previous year's result.

The operating profit gained from the sale of fixed and current assets to a
subsidiary which had been formed on the basis of Cable Harnesses Factory and
the financial income earned from the sale of the subsidiary AJT Harju Elekter
are reported in the consolidated income statement under Extraordinary income,
totally in the amount EEK 30.6 million (EUR 2.0 mil.).

In brief, the Group's operating profit for nine months in 2002 was EEK 20.0
million (EUR 1,2 mil.) which is 12.8 per cent more against the same period
last year. The operating profit earned in Q3 doubly exceeded the last year's
indicator. Net profit for the period amounted to EEK 50.6 million or EUR 3.2
million (2001 9m:EEK 17.7 mil. or EUR 1.1 mil.). Net profit margin settled at
27.1 per cent (2001 9m: 13.1%). EPS was EEK 9.38 or EUR 0.60 (2001 9m: EEK
3.28 or EUR 0.21).

Investments and capital employed
During the reporting period the Group invested in tangible and intangible
fixed assets altogether EEK 10.5 million or EUR 673 thousand (2001 9m:EEK 5.4
mil. or EUR 346 thou.). 4.5 million kroons or 285 thousand euros were
invested into plant and technology, the lion share of which amount was spent
on the reconstruction of the washing systems of the powder coating unit at the
Electrical Equipment Factory in order to improve quality and to significantly
minimise environmental pollution. EEK 3.5 million or EUR 220 thousand were
used for the renovation of buildings and facilities. EEK 0.9 million (EUR 60
thou.) were spent on the installation and upgrading of the IT systems.

During the accounting period EEK 6,6 million or EUR 420 thousand were spent
to repay the principal amount of the long-term loan and the capital lease
(2001 9m: EEK 6.5 mil. or EUR 414 thou.) which did not incur any income tax
liability for AS Harju Elekter.

Balance sheet
The consolidated balance total by the end of September 2002 was EEK 224.7
million (EUR 14.1 mil.); it had in nine months by EEK 48,2 million (EUR 3.1
mil.) and in twelve months by EEK 52.9 million (EUR 3.1 mil.). This growth is
mostly attributable to the sale of AJT Harju Elekter and purchase of the
subsidiary Satmatic Oy and the significant rise in the orders for the energy
sector products as compared with the previous quarters and the same period
last year. Changes took place also in the balance structure. Owners' equity
grew in total by EEK 42.8 million (EUR 2.7 mil.) and reached the 74.8 per
cent ratio to the value of assets. This is 3.6 per cent points more than a
year ago and 3.8 per cent points more than it was by 31.12.2001. On the assets
side the value of current assets grew the most during nine months, in total
EEK 28.3 million (EUR 1.8 mil.). Together with the subsidiary Satmatic Oy the
Group acquired some current assets, the total fair value of which was EEK
21.4 million (EUR 1.4 mil.), among them EEK 15.3 million (EUR 1.0 mil.)worth
of stock-in-trade.

Personnel
During the accounting period the average number employees in the Group was 373
(2001 9m: 682). On the balance sheet date 293 (30.09.01: 659) people were
working in the Group. The number of the employees decreased considerably in
connection with the sale of the subsidiary AJT Harju Elekter (418), although
after the acquisition of Satmatic Oy the personnel grew by 52 employees.

Important events
On the 4th of June AS Harju Elekter and PKC Group Oyj (PKC) signed a sales
agreement according to which PKC acquired all shares of AJT, a 100% Harju
Elekter owned subsidiary.The transaction value was EUR 2.07 million (EEK 32.4
mill.). With the disposal of AJT, the second tier subcontracting company,
Harju Elekter minimised its business risks significantly,but the expertise of
wiring systems and fibre-optic products manufacturing was retained in the
Group.

On the 19th of September AS Harju Elekter and Siemens Osakeyhtiö signed the
purchase agreement pursuant to which Harju Elekter acquired all shares of 100%
Siemens owned subsidiary Satmatic Oy. The core business of Satmatic is the
manufacturing and marketing of various electrical equipment, including
automation and process control systems for the paper, metal and machine
building industries as well as car heating units for parking lots. The
acquisition of the subsidiary has widened Harju Elekter's possibilities to
extend its main product range with Satmatic type-approved products, to upgrade
and improve its existing products and to boost its sales in Finland and other
neighbouring markets. The increase of the market share is estimated at EEK 100
million (EUR 6.4 million).
