Profit and Loss Statement                                                       

3rd quarter 2009                                                                

Sales                                                                           

In the 3rd quarter of 2009 the Company's total sales increased, year on year, by
8.6% to 189.0 mln EEK. Sales in the main operating activity principally comprise
of sales of water and treatment of wastewater to domestic and commercial        
customers within and outside of the service area, and fees received from the    
City of Tallinn for operating and maintaining the storm water system. Starting  
from 1 July 2009 the sales to the outside service area includes sales from a 30 
year O&M contract signed with the city of Maardu.                               

Sales of water and wastewater services were 174.1 mln EEK, a 9.2% increase      
compared to the 3rd quarter of 2008, resulting from the 12.8% increase in       
tariffs from 1 January 2009 for the Company's residential and commercial        
customers combined with the factors described below.                            

Included within this amount were the following changes by sectors. Within the   
service area, sales to residential customers increased by 9.1% to 91.4 mln EEK. 
Sales to commercial customers increased by 1.3% to 65.9 mln EEK. Sales to       
customers outside of the service area increased by 72.0% to 12.6 mln EEK, mainly
due to the implementation of the Maardu's operating contract. Over pollution    
fees received were 4.2 mln EEK, a 28.7% increase compared to the 3rd quarter of 
2008.                                                                           

In the 3rd quarter of 2009, the volumes sold to residential customers dropped   
3.3%. We believe that this is due to the combination of the economic recession  
and the fact that people have continued to move to the surrounding areas of     
Tallinn.                                                                        

The volumes sold to commercial customers inside the service area decreased by   
10.2% compared to the relevant period in 2008. The majority of the reduction in 
sales volumes in Tallinn is a result of the macroeconomic impact of companies   
reducing their production volumes and implementing efficiency measures,         
supplemented by companies moving to surrounding municipalities.                 

The sales from the operation and maintenance of the storm water and fire-hydrant
system increased by 0.1% to 11.4 mln EEK in the 3rd quarter of 2009 compared to 
the same period in 2008. This is in accordance with the terms and conditions of 
the contract whereby the storm water and fire hydrant costs are invoiced based  
on actual costs and volumes treated.                                            


Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin                                             

The cost of goods sold for the main operating activity was 69.8 mln EEK in the  
3rd quarter of 2009, an increase of 5.4 mln EEK or 8.4% from the equivalent     
period in 2008.                                                                 

In the 3rd quarter of 2009 the Company did not achieve the beneficial 0.5       
coefficient for pollution tax, and the amount of pollution tax payable was 4.7  
mln EEK compared to 2.0 mln EEK in 3rd quarter of 2008.  In the 3rd quarter of  
2008 we achieved the 0.5 coefficient, but the increase in pollution tax payable 
is also impacted by the increase in tax rates year on year by 20%, partly offset
by the reduction in treatment volumes. As the pollution level of the incoming   
sewage has continued to increase the Company has analyzed a range of            
alternatives to improve the waste water treatment processes and to use the      
optimum level of chemicals to achieve the 0.5 coefficient in the forthcoming    
quarters. In the 3rd quarter of 2009 an investment into an additional stage of  
waste water treatment was approved, which will enable the increasing pollution  
load to be treated to the levels required to achieve these standards.           

Chemical costs were 5.7 mln EEK, representing a 12.8% decrease compared to the  
corresponding period in 2008. This result is the combination of volumes treated,
chemicals dosed and the particularly favorable price impact.                    

Electricity costs increased by 0.3 mln EEK or 4.1% in the 3rd quarter of 2009   
compared to the 3rd quarter of 2008 due to higher electricity prices.           

Salary expenses increased in the 3rd quarter of 2009, year on year, by 1.5 mln  
EEK or 11.0% mainly due to the take over of 23 employees from Maardu Vesi.      

Depreciation charges decreased in the 3rd quarter of 2009 by 0.01 mln EEK or    
0.3% year on year.                                                              

Transport costs decreased by 0.7 mln EEK, or 13.1% year on year, due to the     
combination of the reduction in fuel prices and reduced rates for rented        
machines.                                                                       

Other cost of goods sold in the main operating activity increased 2.2 mln EEK,  
or 34.3% year on year, due to the costs of operating in Maardu.                 

As a result of all of the above the Company's gross profit for the 3rd quarter  
of 2009 was 119.2 mln EEK, which is an increase of 9.6 mln EEK, or 8.7%,        
compared to the gross profit of 109.6 mln EEK for the 3rd quarter of 2008.      

Operating Costs and Operating Margin                                            

Marketing expenses decreased by 0.3 mln EEK to 2.5 mln EEK during the 3rd       
quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008. This is mainly the
result of the efficiency program, which via the implementation of a new         
structure, reallocated part of the costs to the cost of goods sold and general  
administration expenses in 2009.                                                

In the 3rd quarter of 2009 the General administration expenses increased by 0.4 
mln EEK to 12.3 mln EEK year on year.                                           

Via successful negotiation of a range of outsourced service contracts new,      
beneficial rates have been achieved for most of the cost items. The management's
target is to achieve further efficiencies through a thorough review of processes
and work organization.                                                          

Other net income/expenses                                                       

Income/expenses from constructions and government grants totaled a net income of
5.6 mln EEK, in the 3rd quarter of 2009 compared to a net income of 5.6 mln EEK 
in the 3rd quarter of 2008. The rest of the other income/expenses totaled an    
expense of 0.2 mln EEK in the 3rd quarter of 2009 compared to an expense of 1.0 
mln EEK in the 3rd quarter of 2008, from a combination of slightly worsened debt
collection balanced by received penalties in 2009. It should be noted however   
that, more than 99% of debt is collected in a timely manner.                    

As a result of all of the above the Company's operating profit for the 3rd      
quarter of 2009 was 109.8 mln EEK, an increase of 10.4 mln EEK compared to an   
operating profit of 99.4 mln EEK achieved in the 3rd quarter of 2008. Year on   
year the operating profit has increased 10.4%.                                  

Financial expenses                                                              

Net Financial expenses were 7.2 mln EEK in the 3rd quarter of 2009, which is a  
decrease of 3.0 mln EEK or 29.5% compared to the 3rd quarter of 2008. The       
Company's interest costs have decreased by 58.9% compared to the 3rd quarter of 
2008 as a result of the reduction in Euribor rates and the replacement of the   
loan with a fixed interest rate (4.19% + Euribor rate), by loans with floating  
interest rates. The Company has still decided to mitigate the floating interest 
risk in the long term and in May 2009 we concluded 3 interest swap agreements,  
each with a principal value of 15 mln EUR. All contracts have forward start     
dates, for a base amount of 30 mln EUR, the forward start date begins on 28     
November 2009, and for a base amount of 15 mln EUR the forward start date begins
on 28 May 2010. At this point in time the estimated fair value of these swap    
contracts is negative, therefore the provisions related to the Swap fair value  
partly offset the interest costs savings and the increase in financial income   
earned during the 3rd quarter of 2009.                                          
                                                                                

Profit Before Tax                                                               

The Company's profit before taxes for the 3rd quarter of 2009 was 102.6 mln EEK,
which is 13.4 mln EEK higher than the profit before taxes of 89.2 mln EEK for   
the 3rd quarter of 2008.                                                        


Results for the 1st nine months of 2009                                         

During the first nine months of 2009 the Company's total sales increased, year  
on year, by 6.2% to 570.7 mln EEK. Sales of water and wastewater treatment were 
525.1 mln EEK, a 6.2% increase compared to the first nine months of 2008.       

The Company's profit before taxes for the first nine months of 2009 was 275.5   
mln EEK, which is 6.2 mln EEK higher than the profit before taxes of 269.3 mln  
EEK in the relevant period in 2008.                                             

The Company's net profit for the first nine months of 2009 was 214.4 mln EEK,   
which is 11.3 mln EEK higher than the net profit of 203.1 mln EEK in the        
equivalent period in 2008.                                                      


Balance sheet                                                                   

During the first nine months of 2009 the Company invested 149.9 mln EEK into    
fixed assets. Non-current assets were 2,199.1 mln EEK at 30 September 2009.     
Current assets increased by 19.1 mln EEK to 366.5 mln EEK in the first nine     
months of the year, with customer receivables decreasing by 2.3 mln EEK and cash
at bank increasing by 22.0 mln EEK.                                             

Current liabilities decreased by 67.4 mln EEK to 125.0 mln EEK in the first nine
months of the year. This was mainly due to decreases in the Current portion of  
long-term borrowings by 81.2 mln EEK, as a result of the repayment of the EBRD  
loan in May 2009, a 5.9 mln EEK decrease in Trade payables, and an increase in  
Customer prepayments of 16.9 mln EEK.                                           

The Company continues to maintain its leverage level within its target range of 
50% with total liabilities to total capital employed of 50.7% as of 30 September
2009. Long-term liabilities stood at 1,175.0 mln EEK at the end of September    
2009, consisting almost entirely of the outstanding balance of three long-term  
bank loans. The current total available loan facility is 95 mln EUR, from which 
we have drawn down 75 mln EUR. The current weighted average interest margin is  
0.55%, for the total available facility the margin is 0.67%.                    

Cash flow                                                                       

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company generated 301.7 mln EEK of    
cash flows from operating activities, a decrease of 39.0 mln EEK compared to the
corresponding period in 2008. The reduction in operating cash flows is due to   
the payment of the one off financial costs of 27 mln EEK related to the         
repayment of the EBRD loan as discussed in the 2nd quarter report. In addition  
the first quarter of 2008 was positively impacted by proceeds of some big       
services invoices issued at end of 2007. Underlying operating profit still      
continues to be the main driver for growth in operating cash flows.             

In the first nine months of 2009 net cash inflows from investing activities were
14.1 mln EEK, which is 6.9 mln EEK more than in 2008. This is mainly due to the 
lower construction prices and timing of constructions. In 2009 the Company      
invested 149.9 mln EEK - 118.5 mln EEK on networks (including 75.9 mln EEK on   
extension and developments), 12.8 mln EEK at Paljassaare wastewater treatment   
plant and sludge treatment, 4.4 mln EEK on water quality (Ülemiste water        
treatment plant and raw water) and 14.2 mln EEK for other investments (IT,      
capital maintenance, meters, etc).                                              

The cash outflows from financing activities were 293.8 mln EEK during the first 
nine months of 2009 compared to a cash outflow of 315.2 mln EEK during the same 
nine months of 2008, representing the payouts of the dividend and associated    
taxes. The Company repaid and fully refinanced the loan of EBRD due to the need 
to finance the extensive network extension program and related investment       
outflows until 2011.                                                            

As a result of all of the above factors, the total cash inflow in the nine      
months of 2009 was 22.0 mln EEK compared to a cash inflow of 32.7 mln EEK in the
nine months of 2008. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 251.8 mln EEK as at 30  
September 2009.                                                                 

Employees                                                                       

At the end of the 3rd quarter of 2009, the total number of employees was 349    
compared to 323 at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2008. The full time equivalent 
(FTE) was respectively 336 in 2009 compared to the 310 in 2008. The increase in 
FTE is primarily due to Maardu.                                                 

Dividends and share performance                                                 

Based on the results of the 2008 financial year, the Company paid 230,010,000   
EEK of dividends. Of this 10,000 EEK was paid to the owner of the B-share       
and 230,000,000 EEK, i.e. 11.50 EEK per share to the owners of the A-shares. The
dividends were paid out on 12 June 2009, based on the list of shareholders,     
which was fixed on 01 June 2009.

compared to the closing price of 131.43 EEK (8.40 EUR) at the beginning of

Operational highlights in the nine months of 2009                               


The Company started operations in Maardu from 1st July 2009, to provide water,  
wastewater and operations and maintenance. This will provide the citizens of    
Maardu with an access to Tallinna Vesi's EU compliant water and wastewater. This
contract is the first of its kind and demonstrates the willingness of other     
cities and municipalities to partner with Tallinna Vesi for the benefit of their
communities.                                                                    

In the 3rd quarter the company was nominated for the most competitive service   
company in Estonia and in September 2009 we won the award issued by the         
Enterprise Estonia foundation and Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.    

Due to fall in sales volumes it has been a challenging nine months for the      
Company. We are still pleased to report that the cost efficiency programs we    
have initiated and successful contract negotiations have enabled us to          
compensate the fall in revenues.                                                

The Company submitted the application for the tariff change from 1st January    
2010 in the 3rd quarter. The City Government approved the -0.9% tariff decrease 
for water and wastewater services on 30 September 2009. The tariff change is    
applicable from 1st January 2010 and consists of -0.9% of CPI decrease, 0% of   
k-coefficient and 0% of change of law. The -0.9% tariff change is applicable in 
the main service area and is similar outside the main service area, depending   
still on individual contracts with the municipalities.                          

On 16th September the Company signed an amendment to the Services Agreement with
the City of Tallinn. This amendment reflects the reduction in construction      
prices, the current macroeconomic situation and the good cooperation between the
parties. As a result of the reduction in construction prices incurred by the    
Company the compensation payable by the City of Tallinn for sewerage extensions 
will reduce, the City will now pay a development component of 0.0 EEK per m3 in 
November and December 2009 and 8.75 EEK per m3 thereafter instead of current 9.0
EEK per m3. As a consequence of this reduction the parties have agreed to       
shorten the compensation period by 3.5 years to June 2014. AS Tallinna Vesi has 
also agreed to a change in the payment profile for storm water constructions.   
Initially the City paid 53 mln EEK each year based on the construction costs of 
the program during 2008-2011, whereas now they will pay based on a four year    
payment plan until the end of 2012. Compared to the original contract signed in 
November 2007 the impact of all these changes is not material on the financial  
results of the Company. None of this will affect the construction of the        
sewerage system, which is still planned to be completed by 2011.                

In the 3rd quarter the Company approved based on initial design and cost benefit
analysis the investment into Biofilter. Over the next two years AS Tallinna Vesi
intends to invest almost 200 mln EEK at its Paljassaare Wastewater Treatment    
Plant. The investments in 2010-2011 include the renewal of the screening        
equipment, replacement of electrical substations and major investment in an     
additional treatment stage to further improve the effluent quality and remove   
more nitrogen from the wastewater. The project is an investment into improved   
efficiency and towards a more sustainable environment, as the more effective    
removal of nitrogen from the wastewater improves the cleanliness of the Gulf of 
Finland and the Baltic Sea. A biofilter has been selected as the additional     
treatment stage and the first treatment modules of the biofilter should be ready
in the 1st half of 2011. The biofilter is a block of modules added as an        
additional treatment stage, where intensive wastewater treatment is achieved    
using microorganisms to clean the wastewater flowing through it. The main       
function of the biofilter is to remove nitrogen from the wastewater and the     
microorganisms use methanol to achieve this. The design is for 8 of these       
modules to be constructed, future increase in loads could be treated by adding  
additional modules.
