2009 IV QUARTER AND 12 MONTHS CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT (UNAUDITED)

Message

Financial review                                                                

Margins                                                                         
Nordecon International Group ended 2009 with a gross profit of 136.3 million    
kroons (8.7 million euros), 62% down from the 357.9 million kroons (22.9 million
euros) earned in 2008.  The decrease is mainly attributable to a significant    
decline in the profitability of construction contracts across all segments and  
the completion of more profitable contracts started in previous periods. In     
ordinary circumstances, lower than average profitability in the first and fourth
quarter results from seasonal factors that impact mainly the road construction  
business and are counteracted in the second and third quarters. In 2009,        
however, they were accompanied by exceptionally weak demand in the buildings    
construction sector throughout the year, which triggered fierce competition and,
accordingly, a steep decrease in margins. This caused also a decrease in gross  
profit for 12 months compared with gross profit for the third quarter.          

The Group ended the year with an operating loss of 126.7 million kroons (8.1    
million euros). The comparative period, 2008, ended with an operating profit of 
208.5 million kroons (13.3 million euros). The incurrence of an operating loss  
can be explained by shrinkage in gross profit and the year-end re-measurement of
the Group's assets and liabilities.                                             

In 2009, the Group responded to the anticipated decline in gross profit already 
at the beginning of the year by applying decisive measures for cutting          
administrative costs with a view to reducing the cost base compared with the    
previous year by 30%. Consolidated administrative expenses for 2009 totalled    
186.4 million kroons (11.9 million euros). However, a significant proportion of 
administrative expenses is made up of items that are not impacted by            
cost-cutting (such as impairment losses on goodwill). Excluding such items,     
administrative expenses for 2009 totalled 125.2 million kroons (8 million       
euros), reflecting a roughly 33% decrease in comparable administrative expenses 
for 2008. In addition, the restructuring conducted in 2009 gave rise to certain 
non-recurring expenditures in the form of operating expenses and termination    
benefits. Excluding the non-recurring items, the ratio of administrative        
expenses to revenue was 5.2%, which is slightly above the 5% target set by      
management but perfectly acceptable in view of the plunge in volumes experienced
by the construction market.                                                     

The Group's operating result was also influenced by the impairment losses       
recognised for other assets (trade receivables and investment properties) within
Other expenses. Impairment losses on receivables and investment properties      
totalled 42.0 million kroons (2.7 million euros) and 12.5 million kroons (0.8   
million euros) respectively. Altogether, the impact of the one-off write-down   
expenses on operating profit was 115.7 million kroons (7.4 million euros).      

The Group remains committed to the aim of reducing the cost base in 2009-2010 by
up to 30% compared with 2007-2008 and is prepared to adopt resolute measures    
also in the future.                                                             

Fiscal 2009 ended with a consolidated net loss of 88.7 million kroons (5.7      
million euros). The loss attributable to owners of the parent amounted to 45.3  
million kroons (2.9 million euros) while the loss attributable to               
non-controlling interests equalled 43.4 million kroons (2.8 million euros).     

The profitability ratios monitored by the Group's management have changed       
significantly due to dramatic deterioration in the operating environment. The   
Group's margins have dropped (in all markets) year-over-year primarily on       
account of a steep decline in demand. The main sector-specific trend has been   
the increasing excess of construction capacities over the number of projects on 
offer. Demand that is insufficient for meeting the needs of all market players  
has heightened pressure for lowering the prices. Under the circumstances, the   
Group's gross margin for 2009 dropped to 5.7% (2008: 9.3%).                     

The Group believes that in the current market situation, the above level of     
gross margin is still acceptable for profitable operation. In the light of new  
trends emerging in the construction market, the Group intends to continue       
redesigning its internal processes (improving the efficiency of purchase of     
services, cost cutting, etc) so as to maintain its gross margin at a level that 
would ensure that the next financial year will end in an operating profit.      


Cash flows                                                                      
The Group's operating activities generated a net cash inflow of 99.9 million    
kroons (6.4 million euros), a strong improvement on the net outflow of 57.1     
million kroons (3.6 million euros) posted for the first half-year. In the       
current market situation, due to renegotiated and extended settlement terms,    
cash is received over a considerably longer period than previously. In addition,
the period's receipts were influenced by the approaching end of the construction
season that is accompanied by the signature of completion documents. The Group's
ability to maintain a positive net operating cash flow depends on how well it   
can adapt to the new economic environment (e.g. by extending settlement terms   
with subcontractors) and the extent to which operating costs can be cut.        

Investing activities for 2009 resulted in a net outflow of 54.0 million kroons  
(3.5 million euros) compared with an outflow of 156.6 million kroons (10.0      
million euros) for 2008. Acquisitions of investments in subsidiaries, associates
and joint ventures (including disposals) generated a net outflow of 30.5 million
kroons (2.0 million euros). The corresponding figure for 2008 was a net outflow 
of 139.1 million kroons (8.9 million euros).                                    

Financing activities generated a net outflow of 116.9 million kroons (7.5       
million euros). The corresponding figure for 2008 was an outflow of 88.2 million
kroons (5.6 million euros). Debt financing has decelerated because business     
volumes are not growing and in net terms financial liabilities are decreasing.  
The period's net outflow from interest-bearing loans and borrowings (excluding  
interest expense) was 56.1 million kroons (3.6 million euros) against a net     
inflow of 49.4 million kroons (3.2 million euros) in 2008. The remainder of     
financing cash flows was made up of a dividend distribution of 31.9 million     
kroons (2.0 million euros) compared with 104.1 million kroons (6.7 million      
euros) in 2008.

Performance by geographical market                                              
Revenue earned outside Estonia in 2009 accounted for approximately 15% of       
consolidated revenue against approximately 20% a year ago. The decline is       
primarily attributable to developments in the Ukrainian market.                 

In 2009, the Group expanded its operations in Latvia - at the end of the year   
Latvian revenues accounted for around 11% of the total while in 2008 the        
proportion was 6%. However, since the Latvian operations were generating a loss,
the Group sold its interest in the Latvian entities at the beginning of 2010. As
a result, the Group expects that its Latvian revenues will decline significantly
in 2010. In the next few years, the Group plans to continue project-based       
business in Latvia through its Estonian entities, involving partners where      
necessary. Continuation of project-based operations assumes the availability of 
profitable projects.                                                            

At the same time, the contribution of Ukrainian revenues has dropped to         
approximately 3%. The downturn is mainly attributable to the completion of major
projects started in the previous period and the complexity of entering into new 
contracts during a steep recession. In Lithuania, the Group has suspended active
operations for the time being (see Changes in the Group's management structure  
and operations in 2009).

Performance by business line                                                    
The core business of Nordecon International Group is general contracting and    
project management in buildings and infrastructure construction. In addition,   
the Group is involved in road construction and maintenance, environmental       
engineering, concrete works and real estate development.                        

Consolidated revenue for 2009 amounted to 2,410.8 million kroons (154.1 million 
euros), a 37.7% decrease from the 3,867.9 million kroons (247.2 million euros)  
generated in 2008. Revenue has decreased mainly on account of shrinkage in      
demand in all of the Group's markets. In addition, the absolute revenue figure  
has been impacted by stiff competition that has lowered the construction prices 
(see further commentary and forecasts for the future in Outlooks of the Group's 
geographical markets).                                                          

The Group aims to maintain the revenues generated by its main segments          
(Buildings and Infrastructure) in balance as this helps disperse risks and      
provides a more solid foundation under stressed circumstances when one segment  
experiences shrinkage in operating volumes. In view of estimated demand for     
apartments in the real estate market and housing development risks, in          
subsequent years the proportion of housing construction revenue from apartment  
buildings (the Group as a developer or a builder) will remain significantly     
below the strategic 20% limit.                                                  

Segment revenue                                                                 
In contrast to previous years, in 2009 the revenue generated by the             
Infrastructure segment exceeded that of Buildings. This results mainly from the 
situation in the construction market (particularly in Estonia) that has caused  
the order book of the Infrastructure segment to develop more favourably already 
since the second half of 2008.                                                  

In 2009, the Buildings and Infrastructure segments generated revenue of 1,047.4 
million kroons (66.9 million euros) and 1,339.2 million kroons (85.6 million    
euros) respectively. The corresponding figures for 2008 were 2,136.9 million    
kroons (136.6 million euros) and 1,698.5 million kroons (108.6 million euros)   
respectively. The 51%-decrease in the revenue generated by the Buildings segment
corresponded to management's assessment of the market situation and was         
therefore anticipated.

* In connection with the entry into force of IFRS 8 Operating Segments during   
the reporting period, the Group has changed segment reporting in its financial  
statements. In the Directors' report the Ukrainian and EU Buildings segments    
which are disclosed separately in the financial statements are presented as a   
single segment. In addition, the segment information presented in the Directors'
report does not include the disclosures on “other segments” that are presented  
in the financial statements.                                                    

Management estimates that because of the market situation the proportion of     
revenue generated by the Infrastructure segment in 2010 will continue increasing
compared with 2009. The assessment is supported by the Group's order book as at 
31 December 2009 where the contracts of the Infrastructure segment exceed those 
of the Buildings segment (see Order book in Director's report).                 

Revenue distribution within segments                                            
The distribution of the Group's buildings construction revenue has remained     
stable, with Commercial buildings accounting for over 50% of the total. The     
growth in the contribution of the Commercial buildings sub-segment to two thirds
of segment revenue is attributable to two large projects: the building of the   
Nordea Bank in Tallinn and an extension to the Lõunakeskus shopping mall in     
Tartu. As anticipated, revenues from the construction of industrial and         
warehouse facilities and apartment buildings have decreased. On the other hand, 
the downturn in construction prices has triggered slight growth in the          
construction of public buildings thanks to municipal investments in schools,    
nurseries and other public buildings. However, despite attractive construction  
prices, further growth in local government projects may be undermined by        
financing difficulties.

Growth in the operations of the Nordecon Infra SIA subgroup in 2008-2009 caused 
structural shifts in revenue distribution within the Infrastructure segment. The
contribution of other engineering projects increased largely on account of      
growth in pipeline and outdoor network construction. Due to the divestment of   
Nordecon Infra SIA in 2010, the contribution of other engineering projects is   
expected to decline (see Outlooks of the Group's geographical markets).         
Environmental engineering revenues have expanded thanks to a decline in         
construction prices that has increased investments by state and local           
government.

At 31 December 2009, the Group's order book stood at 1,531 million kroons (98   
million euros), approximately a third down from the 2,221 million kroons (142   
million euros) posted a year ago.

The order book of the Infrastructure segment has been growing year-over-year. At
31 December 2009 it accounted for 74% of the Group's total order book (31       
December 2008: 59%), reflecting the situation in the construction market where  
shrinkage in the Buildings segment has significantly outpaced growth in the     
Infrastructure segment. In absolute terms, the order book figures have been     
severely weakened by tumbling construction prices.                              

Between the reporting date (31 December 2009) and the date of release of this   
report, Group companies have been awarded additional construction contracts of  
approximately 61 million kroons (3.9 million euros).

Nordecon believes that its most important assets are its people and that the    
value of the company depends on the professionalism, motivation and loyalty of  
its employees. Accordingly, the Group's management is committed to creating a   
contemporary work environment that fosters professional growth and development  
in terms of working conditions, career opportunities and the nature of the work.

People and personnel expenses                                                   
In 2009, the Group (including the parent and the subsidiaries) employed, on     
average, 1,128 people including around 470 engineers and technical personnel    
(ETP). The acquisition of the Latvian company SIA LCB in 2009 increased the     
number of staff by more than 100. However, since the end of 2008 personnel      
growth has been replaced by a decline owing to downsizing triggered by a        
significant decrease in the Group's operations.

The Group's personnel expenses for 2009, including associated taxes, totalled   
363.5 million kroons (23.2 million euros), a 27% decrease compared with the     
498.6 million kroons (31.9 million euros) incurred in 2008.                     

Personnel expenses have declined on account of downsizing and the cutting of    
basic salaries. Employee salaries have been lowered at all Group entities; the  
average pay-cut for engineers and technical personnel was 15%. The performance  
pay of project staff that is linked to the projects' profit margins has also    
dropped.                                                                        

Owing to the overall economic situation and the slump in the construction       
market, in 2009 Group entities terminated employment relations with             
approximately 620 people. However, this is not directly reflected in the total  
average number of employees because the latter is increased by the staff taken  
over on the acquisition of subsidiaries and the people hired under fixed term   
contracts. The decrease in the number of staff may continue in 2010 but         
considerably more slowly except for the effect of the divestment of Nordecon    
Infra SIA that has reduced the number of the Group's employees by around 150.   

In 2009, the remuneration of the members of the council of Nordecon             
International AS including social security charges amounted to 1,436 thousand   
kroons (92 thousand euros). The corresponding figure for 2008 was 1,443 thousand
kroons (92 thousand euros). The remuneration and benefits of the members of the 
board of Nordecon International AS including social security charges totalled   
3,254 thousand kroons (208 thousand euros) compared with 14,514 thousand kroons 
(928 thousand euros) in 2008. The differences in the remuneration of the board  
stem from the fact that from 5 January 2009 the board had three members and     
since October 2009 there have been two members while in 2008 the number was five
(see Changes in the Group's management structure and operations in 2009). In    
addition, the figure has been impacted by a 15% reduction in board member       
remuneration across the Group.

Information on significant transactions with related parties                    
On 26 March 2009, Nordecon Ehitus AS acquired a 50% stake in OÜ Unigate from AS 
Arealis, a subsidiary of the Group's controlling shareholder Nordic Contractors 
AS.                                                                             

OÜ Unigate is a housing developer incorporated in Estonia that has been         
developing properties belonging to it in Paekalda street in Tallinn. The        
investment was made in line with the Group's strategy according to which in     
2009-2010 the Group is to prepare for a potential rise of the Estonian real     
estate market that may take place after 2010. For this, the Group's subsidiaries
will acquire property portfolios that will allow launching housing construction 
projects as soon as the market situation changes.                               

In accordance with the terms of the transaction, AS Arealis was paid 20.0       
million kroons (1.3 million euros) including 1.5 million kroons (0.1 million    
euros) for an interest in the entity's share capital and 18.5 million kroons    
(1.2 million euros) for AS Arealis' loan receivables from OÜ Unigate. Depending 
on the success of the development operations, AS Arealis will also be paid a    
variable price component that will be calculated at 450 kroons (28.8 euros) per 
square metre sold. In February 2009, the market value of the properties         
belonging to OÜ Unigate (the proportion acquired by Nordecon Ehitus AS) was     
approximately 47.5 million kroons (3.0 million euros).                          


Outlooks of the Group's geographical markets                                    

Estonia                                                                         
According to assessment of the Group's management, in 2010 the Estonian         
construction market will be characterised by the following features:
            
- Total demand in the construction market will depend heavily on public 
procurement tenders and the number and pricing of infrastructure, environmental 
and other projects conducted with the financial support of the European Union   
(the latter will be critically influenced by the administrative capabilities of 
the central and local governments). However, the more moderate decline in the   
infrastructure sector will not be able to compensate for the steep contraction  
of the buildings construction market that has currently been abandoned by most  
private sector corporates and individuals. The Group's management assumes that  
by 2010 the total volumes of the construction market will have decreased by over
50% compared with 2008                                                          

- The number of development and buildings construction companies will decrease 
(market consolidation). Companies focused on residential construction that in   
2008 began seeking opportunities for penetrating other market segments such as  
infrastructure will continue to do so, heightening competition in the segments  
involved. The continuing slump will lead to mergers, takeovers and bankruptcies.

- Construction prices will probably cease declining in 2010 and may even start 
rising compared with 2008-2009. In such a situation, completion of contracts    
concluded at unreasonably low margins or below cost may have an adverse impact  
and may cause serious difficulties for companies not noticing the trend.        

- After the global financial crisis that peaked in 2009, the financing terms 
offered by banks have started improving but  many private sector companies are  
still finding it difficult to raise debt in order to finance new construction   
projects. The steep decrease in demand may be somewhat alleviated by a          
competition-induced decrease in prices, which will render investment in         
construction projects more attractive than it was during the boom of 2006 and   
2007.                                                                           

- In 2009, building materials manufacturers that had significantly increased
their 
output during the growth phase of the market were faced by continuing shrinkage 
in demand and, consequently, greater strain in meeting the obligations taken for
increasing their capacities. To date, the decline in building materials prices  
has notably decelerated and the prices are expected to start rising in 2010.    

- Companies involved in general contracting and project management will
probably 
have to face growth in doubtful and irrecoverable receivables.                  

- Because of the increasing importance of infrastructure projects, critical 
success factors include specialised engineering expertise and experience as well
as the availability of relevant resources.                                      

- The deteriorating economic climate and fierce competition in the construction 
market along with falling demand have caused continuing unemployment for        
construction workers. The ensuing increase in the availability of labour has    
lowered construction companies' personnel expenses.                             

- The change in construction projects' financing schemes (including significant 
extension of customers' settlement terms) and additional requirements to the    
financing provided by general contractors during the construction period put    
pressure on contractors' liquidity.                                             

Nordecon International Group operates in accordance with its long-term          
objectives that are adjusted for changes in the external environment. Relevant  
strategic management is the responsibility of the Group's board (see The Group's
strategy and objectives for 2009-2013).                                         

The Group has prepared for changes in the economic environment by:              

- Ensuring profitability by cutting costs an seeking effective technical
solutions 
that should halt year-over-year decrease in profit margins in 2010              

- Performing a more thorough preliminary analysis of the customers' solvency
and 
creditworthiness and dealing proactively with the collection of overdue         
receivables                                                                     

- Dispersing risks through portfolio design 

- Rapidly reducing the operations in foreign markets and focusing on the home 
market. 


Latvia and Lithuania                                                            
In its third quarter financial statements, the Group reported that its Latvian  
subsidiary Nordecon Infra SIA was experiencing liquidity difficulties because   
owing to a lack of resources and administrative weaknesses the customers of     
major projects did not settle their accounts on a timely basis. Moreover, the   
entity was operating in an environment where profitable performance was not     
possible without taking disproportionate risks. Because the Group incurred      
losses in the Latvian market in 2009 and the market situation was not expected  
to improve in the foreseeable future, the Group sold its stake in Nordecon Infra
SIA in February 2010.                                                           

Recent economic developments in Lithuania have been similar to the ones in the  
other Baltic countries. Slowdown in investment, both in the public and private  
sectors, and similar factors have directly influenced the construction market.  
The commercial and residential construction markets (the Group as a general     
contractor not a developer) have contracted visibly and the launch of any new   
private sector projects in the near future is unlikely.                         

In response to this, the business operations of the Group's Lithuanian          
subsidiary Nordecon Statyba UAB (formerly UAB Eurocon LT) have been essentially 
suspended and the Group is monitoring the market situation. The temporary       
suspension of operations does not result in any major costs for the Group. The  
Group's management does not exclude the possibility that the Lithuanian         
operations will remain suspended also after 2010. The decision does not change  
the Group's strategic objectives in the Lithuanian construction market and does 
not imply the sale or liquidation of the company.                               


Ukraine                                                                         
In Ukraine, the Group will continue mainly as a general contractor and project  
manager in the construction of commercial buildings and production facilities.  
In 2009, the number of projects started in the buildings construction market has
decreased substantially. The situation in the sector is not expected to improve 
until after the first half of 2010.                                             

Activities on development projects that require major investment (currently two)
have been suspended and conserved to minimise the risks until the situation in  
the Ukrainian and global financial markets has eased up.                        

The main risks in the Ukrainian market are connected with the low administrative
efficiency of the central and local governments and the judicial system,        
inflation, and the availability of quality construction inputs.  Demand is      
currently mainly undermined by the lack of financing. To date, the weakening of 
the local currency that began in 2008 has stopped and the Group's exposure to   
market-based currency risk has decreased considerably.                          

Nevertheless, the Group believes that the construction market of a country with 
a population of 46 million will offer business opportunities also in the future.
The Group's main success factor is negligible competition in the project        
management sector (the Group offers flexible construction management in         
combination with European practices and competencies). The Group's management is
confident that the current crisis in the Ukrainian construction market and      
economy as a whole will transform the local understanding and expectations of   
general contracting and project management in the construction business, which  
will improve the Group's position in the long-term perspective.                 


Description of the main risks                                                   

Business risks                                                                  
To mitigate the risks arising from the seasonal nature of the construction      
business (primarily the weather conditions during the winter months), the Group 
has acquired road maintenance contracts that generate year-round business. In   
addition, Group companies are constantly seeking new technical solutions that   
would allow working more efficiently under changeable weather conditions.       

To manage their daily construction risks, Group companies purchase Contractors' 
All Risks insurance. Depending on the nature of the project, both general frame 
agreements and specially tailored project-specific contracts are used. In       
addition, as a rule, subcontractors are required to secure the performance of   
their obligations with a bank guarantee issued for the benefit of a Group       
company. To remedy builder-caused deficiencies which may be detected during the 
warranty period, all Group companies create warranties provisions. At 31        
December 2009, the provisions (including current and non-current ones) totalled 
15.7 million kroons (1.0 million euros). The corresponding figure at 31 December
2008 was 14.6 million kroons (0.93 million euros).                              

Credit risks                                                                    
For credit risk management, a potential customer's settlement behaviour and     
creditworthiness are analysed already in the tendering stage. Subsequent to the 
signature of a contract, the customer's settlement behaviour is monitored on an 
ongoing basis from the making of an advance payment to adherence to the         
contractual settlement schedule, which usually depends on the documentation of  
the delivery of work performed. We believe that the system in place allows us to
respond to customers' settlement difficulties with sufficient speed. As at the  
end of the reporting period, our customers' settlement behaviour was good,      
considering the current economic situation; however, there were also some large 
problem customers. The proportion of overdue receivables has increased,         
increasing the probability of credit losses also in subsequent periods. In      
accordance with the Group's accounting policies, all receivables that are more  
than 180 days overdue or in respect of which no additional settlement agreements
have been reached are recognised as an expense.                                 

In 2009, net loss on doubtful receivables amounted to 42.0 million kroons (2.7  
million euros). The figure includes the impairment loss recognised for the      
receivables connected with the construction of the St Petersburg Business       
Quarter referred to in the third quarter financial statements. In 2008,         
recoveries of receivables written down in preceding periods exceeded the        
period's impairment losses on receivables by 9.0 million kroons (0.6 million    
euros).                                                                         

Liquidity risks                                                                 
Free funds are placed in overnight or fixed-interest term deposits with the     
largest banks of the markets where the Group operates. To ensure timely         
settlement of liabilities, approximately two weeks' working capital is kept in  
current accounts or overnight deposits. Where necessary, overdraft facilities   
are used. At the reporting date, the Group's current assets exceeded its current
liabilities 1.47-fold (31 December 2008: 1.33-fold) and available cash funds    
totalled 225.2 million kroons (14.4 million euros) (31 December 2008: 296.2     
million kroons / 18.9 million euros), providing a sufficient liquidity buffer   
for operating in an economic environment that is more uncertain than in the     
previous year.                                                                  

Interest rate risks                                                             
The Group's interest-bearing liabilities to banks have mainly fixed interest    
rates. Finance lease liabilities have floating interest rates and are linked to 
EURIBOR. At 31 December 2009, the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings 
totalled 558.8 million kroons (35.7 million euros), a 4.3 million kroon (0.3    
million euro) increase year-over-year. Interest expense for 2009 amounted to    
26.6 million kroons (1.7 million euros). Compared with 2008, interest expense   
has contracted by 11.3 million kroons (0.7 million euros) thanks to a decline in
the EURIBOR base rate and a decrease in loans and borrowings.                   

Currency risks                                                                  
As a rule, construction contracts and subcontractors' service contracts are made
in the currency of the host country: in Estonia contracts are made in Estonian  
kroons (EEK), in Latvia in Latvian lats (LVL), in Lithuania in Lithuanian litas 
(LTL) and in Ukraine in Ukrainian hryvnas (UAH). Services purchased from other  
countries are mostly priced in euros, which does not constitute a currency risk 
for the Group's Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian entities.                      

The Group's foreign exchange gains and losses result mainly from its Ukrainian  
operations because the Ukrainian national currency floats against the euro and, 
consequently, against the Estonian kroon. To date, the weakening of the         
Ukrainian hryvna against the euro that began in the last quarter of 2008 has    
stopped.  The Group's net exchange loss for 2009 was 0.7 million kroons (0.04   
million euros). In 2008, the Group's exchange differences resulted in a gain of 
6.6 million kroons (0.4 million euros).
