FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE GROUP OF 2002

Sales and export
The consolidated net sales of AS Harju Elekter for the 12 months of 2002 were
EEK 271.2m/EUR 17.3m (EEK 195.5m/EUR 12.5m in 2001). The sales increased by
38.7% compared to the previous year. The sales of the parent company amounted
to EEK 189.7m/EUR 12.1m (EEK 168.8m/EUR 10.8m in 2001), which is 12.4% more
than in 2001.
Sales on the Estonian market amounted to EEK 150.5m/EUR 9.6m, implying a 29.3%
growth and forming 55.5% of the total net sales (59.6% in 2001). Owing to
increased demand on the building market, domestic sales of electrical
equipment increased 35.9% over the year; intermediation sales of various
electrical products increased 22.8%, i.e. by EEK 7.9m/EUR 0.5m, of which EEK
4.2m/EUR 0.3m was attributable to the Tartu electrical equipment store that
was opened in April.
Sales on export markets increased 1.5-fold. The share of foreign markets in
consolidated net sales grew to 44.5% in 2002 (40.4% in 2001). Sales on the
Finnish market increased by EEK 40.9m/EUR 2.6m during the year (1.65-fold).
The sales of the 100% subsidiary in Finland for four months account for 12% of
the consolidated net sales and the bulk of the increase in sales in Finland.
The export of the electrical equipment factory to Finland increased from EEK
10.7m/EUR 0.7m in 2001 to EEK 24.8m/EUR 1.6m in 2002, compensating for the
sales forgone due to the selling of the cable harnesses factory and providing
for growth.
The manufacture and sales of electrical equipment doubled in 2002. The sales
of the Finnish subsidiary for the four months account for EEK 33.9m/EUR 2.2m
of the increased volume of this product group.
The growth in the output of the electrical equipment factory was 1.5-fold.

Profit
The operating profit of the group for the 12 months was EEK 15.5m/EUR 1.0m,
which exceeds last year’s result (EEK 11.6m/EUR 0.7m) by one-third. While the
operating profit to net sales ratio was the same as in the previous year,
operating profit mainly increased on account of the manufacture and sales
figures of the electrical engineering segment.
The result of financing activities was EEK 7.1m/EUR 0.45m (EEK 9.1m/EUR 0.6m
in 2001). The financial income for 2001 included the sales proceeds of shares
in PKC Group Oyj, EEK 2.8m/EUR 0.2m.
The final net profit of the group for 2002 was EEK 53.3m/EUR 3.4m, including
the extraordinary sales proceeds of the shares and fixed and current assets of
the subsidiary AS AJT Harju Elekter in a total of EEK 30.6m/EUR 2.0m. The
profit margin for 2002 was 19.7% (10.6% in 2001).

Investments and financing
The total investments of the group in tangible and intangible assets
amounted to EEK 14.0m/EUR 0.9m during the reporting period (EEK 20.7m/
EUR 1.3m in 2001). The major investments were:
washing equipment for the powder coating line EEK 3.8m (EUR 0.24m)
reconstruction of production buildings and facilities
EEK 5.1m (EUR 0.32m)
computing and office machines EEK 0.8m (EUR 51,000)
licenses acquired EEK 1.1m (EUR 70,000)
In March, Harju Elekter paid EEK 6.0m/EUR 0.4m as a contribution into the
share capital of AJT Harju Elekter, a 100% subsidiary founded on the basis of
the cable harnesses factory. Satmatic Oy was acquired in September for EEK
4.7m/EUR 0.3m, paid for the existing shares and for increasing the share
capital. The parent company granted its subsidiaries long-term loans of EEK
10.2m/EUR 0.65m for the acquisition of fixed and current assets. The parent
company’s financial investments totalled EEK 20.9m/EUR 1.3m. The sales
proceeds of financial investments amounted to EEK 19.9m/EUR 1.3m.
The group companies repaid EEK 7.8m/EUR 0.5m of long-term loans and EEK
0.8m/EUR 51,000 of financial lease principal in 2002. Owners were paid EEK
7.6m/EUR 0.5m of dividends for the year 2001.

Balance sheet
The consolidated balance sheet total was EEK 224.0m/EUR 14.3m at the end of
September in 2002, having increased by EEK 47.5m/EUR 3.0m over the year. The
main reasons for this were the sale of AJT Harju Elekter and the acquisition
of the subsidiary Satmatic Oy, as well as the significant increase in orders
for the energy sector products when compared to the previous year. The balance
sheet structure also changed. Owners’ equity increased by a total of EEK
45.4m/EUR 2.9m, accounting for 76.3% of the value of assets. This is 5.3
percentage points more than in the previous year.
As regards assets, the value of current assets increased the most, totalling
EEK 26.6m/EUR 1.7m. Together with the subsidiary Satmatic Oy, current assets
with a total real value of EEK 21.4m/EUR 1.4m were acquired, including EEK
15.3m/EUR 1.0m of inventories.
As of the balance sheet date, the group’s long-term and current debts
totalled EEK 18.1m/EUR 1.15m (EEK 27.2m/EUR 1.7m in 2001), of which EEK
5.7m/EUR 0.4m are long-term debts.

Personnel and wages
In 2002, the group employed 351 people on average (673 in 2001), including 273
in the parent company (607 in 2001). As of the balance sheet date, 31.12.2002,
the group employed 282 people, including 173 in the parent company and 53 in
the Finnish subsidiary. The significant change in the number of the parent
group’s employees was due to the sale of the cable harnesses factory (minus
425 people).

Important events
On 3 January, Bureau Veritas Quality International certified the conformity
of the quality management system of the subsidiary AS Eltek to the
international ISO 9001:2000 standard. The system of AS Eltek covers the
manufacture of sheet metal products, product development and marketing, and
the manufacture of fibre optical products, and imposes standards and rules for
the organisation of the company’s operations.

The Harju Elekter group implemented the ISO 14001 environmental management
system, certified by the international certification company BVQI as
conforming to the ISO 14001:1996 international quality standard. The
certificate was solemnly presented on 23 April. The implemented system
establishes rules for constant monitoring and adequate response to any
environmental impact, contributing to a clean and healthy working and living
environment in the area of the enterprise.

In April, Harju Elekter opened its third store of electrical products in
Tartu. The store has 300 m2 of sales and storage space. A considerable
customer base has been established over the six months of operation and the
store has managed to occupy a firm position on the local electrical equipment
market.

On 8 March, the 100% subsidiary AS AJT Harju Elekter (AJT) was founded
on the basis of the cable harnesses factory; its share capital is EEK 6
million. The company launched independent operations on 1 April. On 4 June,
AS Harju Elekter and PKC Group Oyj (PKC) signed a sales contract under which
PKC acquired all the shares of AJT, a 100% subsidiary of Harju Elekter. The
transaction price was EUR 2.07 million. The transaction was closed on 1 July.
Since November, the name of the company has been PKC Eesti AS. The business
risks of Harju Elekter were significantly reduced by the sale of the
subsidiary,
which was a level 2 subcontracting enterprise, while the group maintained its
skills in the area of cable harness and fibre optical product manufacture.

On 19 September, AS Harju Elekter and Siemens Osakeyhtiö signed a sales
contract under which Harju Elekter acquired all the shares of Satmatic Oy, a
100% subsidiary of Siemens. Located in Ulvila, Finland, the main business of
Satmatic is the manufacture of industrial automation and control equipment and
heating equipment for car parks. The main product range of Harju Elekter
broadened and its Finnish market share increased substantially as a result of
the acquisition.

Proposal for payment of dividends
The management board decided to propose to the general meeting that the
dividends for the year 2002 should be EEK 2.00 per share, totalling EEK
10.8m/EUR 0.7m. The dividends paid for the year 2001 amounted to EEK 1.4 per
share, totalling EEK 7.6m/EUR 0.5m. The company has no income tax obligations
concerning the payment of dividends.
