- EBITDA EEK 18.7 million (EUR 1.2 million), year-over-year growth 63%          
                                                                                

The 2007 consolidated net sales of AS Ekspress Group totalled EEK 1 150.0       
million (EUR 73.5 million) which is 23.5% higher than in 2006. Operating profit 
before depreciation (income before depreciation, financial income and expenses, 
income tax and minority interest) (EBITDA) totalled EEK 159.3 million (EUR 10.2 
million). On comparable bases, excluding the revenue relating to the sale of the
holding of Linnaleht in the amount of EEK 3.4 million (EUR 0.2 million) in 2006 
and the revenue relating to the sale of the 50% holding of the real estate      
development company Suursepa Arendus AS in the amount of EEK 4.5 million (EUR   
0.3 million) in the 4th quarter of 2006, it exceeds the sales revenue of 2006 by
24.8%. The Group's net profit for 2007 reached EEK 92.1 million (EUR 5.9        
million) which is (excluding the effect of Linnaleht and Suursepa Arendus) 6.8% 
more than in 2006.                                                              

The consolidated net sales for the 4th quarter totalled EEK 365.3 million (EUR  
23.3 million) which is 36.7% higher than in the 4th quarter of 2006. EBITDA     
totalled EEK 49.0 million (EUR 3.1 million) and the net profit totalled EEK 21.6
million (EUR 1.4 million). As compared to the 4th quarter of 2006, EBITDA growth
was 18.0 %. A loss relating to the costs of launching the information line in   
Romania in the amount of EEK 3 million (EUR 0.2 million) and a change in the    
accounting policies relating to the recognition of revenue from information     
services had a negative effect on the level of EBIT. The staff costs in the 4th 
quarter were higher due to the annual bonus accrual. The slow-down of EBIT in   
the 4th quarter also relates to depreciation growth in conjunction with new     
intangibles acquired in the acquisition of Delfi and Maaleht. The net profit for
the 4th quarter made up 63.3% of the net profit of the same period in 2006.     
Excluding the revenue derived from the sale of the 50% holding of Suursepa      
Arendus AS in the amount of EEK 4.5 million (EUR 0.3 million ) in the 4th       
quarter, the net profit made up 72.9% of the net profit for the 4th quarter of  
2006. In addition to the events affecting EBIT in 2007, the slow-down in the    
growth of the net profit in 2007 is attributable to higher interest costs       
related to assuming a syndicate loan in the amount of EEK 674.4 million (EUR    
43.1 million) in August 2007.

EEK 717 million (EUR 45.8 million) in 2007 and the share of 40% attained a      
remarkable 23% annual growth as compared to last year. The areas of real estate 
and automobile advertising showed the highest volume growth in 2007, 94% and    
65%, respectively as compared to 2006. Advertising of financial services also

Overview by segments                                                            
In 2007, the growth drivers of the Group's sales revenue in absolute terms were 
primarily the publishing of newspapers and magazines. The online media segment  
made a significant contribution to the sales growth of 2007 and primarily to    
that of the 4th quarter which was related to the acquisition of Delfi Group in  
September. Sales growth was also noteworthy in the segments of printing services
and book sales.                                                                 

On 5 November, Delfi launched a Russian-language news portal in Lithuania       
(hhtp://ru.delfi.lt). The goal for 2008 includes reaching 80 000 unique users   
per month. According to the forecast, the portal will be profitable in a year   
after being launched.                                                           
Along with the newly-launched internet portal, AS Delfi together with its       
Latvian and Lithuanian subsidiaries manages  8 internet portals: Estonian and   
Russian language portals in Estonia and Latvia (http://www.delfi.ee,            
rus.delfi.ee, http://www.delfi.lv and rus.delfi.lv), three portals in Lithuania 
http://www.delfi.lt, http://www.centras.lt) and (hhtp://ru.delfi.lt) and the    
news portal in the Ukraine   (http://www.delfi.ua).                             
From September 2007, after the consolidation of the results of operations of    
Delfi in the financial statements of the Ekspress Group, until the end of 2007  
the year-over-year sales growth of the Delfi Group was 45%. At the same time,   
the year-over-year growth of EBITDA was 63% which has been attained due to the  
synergies of costs between Delfi and its subsidiaries in Latvia and Lithuania.  
The EBITDA margin was 36%. Management forecasts 30 per cent sales growth in the 
upcoming years and continuation of 35-40 per cent EBITDA margin. Management sees
great potential in the synergies of income and expenses with the current        
operating areas of the Ekspress Group, the first achievement of which is the    
improvement in the quality of Delfi's content due to cooperation with editorial 
departments of newspapers. As a result of the cooperation, the number of Delfi  
users has increased from 500 000 at the beginning of September to 525 000 users 
at the end of December. By the end of 2008, the number of users is expected to  
reach 545 000. New automobile and real estate combined internet environments in 
collaboration with Delfi and Eesti Ekspress will be launched in the first       
quarter of 2008.                                                                

In the publishing segment, advertising sales grew a decent 23% year-over-year   
but a moderate slowdown could be observed in advertising sales in the 4th       
quarter. The sales growth of periodicals (subscriptions and single issue sales) 
was also a decent 20%, derived from the sales growth of existing products as    
well as new magazines publications. In the 4th quarter, the sales growth reached
36% which was the result of aggressive marketing and subscription campaigns at  
the end of the year. The sales growth of magazines “Klubas” and “Naised”        
launched in the first half of the year also had a positive effect. The launching
of new products has increased marketing costs. In the 4th quarter, EBITDA growth
was 24.7% as compared to the same period last year. In the 4th quarter, staff   
costs were higher both due to higher bonuses paid as a result of higher sales   
revenue as well as an annual bonus accrual. The growth of staff costs, marketing
costs as well as publishing costs has lowered the EBITDA margin from 13% in 2006
(excluding revenue relating to the sale of the share of Linnaleht in the amount 
of EEK 3.4 million kroons (EUR 0.2 million )) to 12% in 2007.                   

In the segment of printing services, the sales growth in the 4th quarter of 2007
was 16.7% as compared to the same period in 2006. In 2007, the sales growth of  
the subsidiary was a decent 13% as compared to 2006. This growth was primarily  
related to non-Group Estonian customers and export products. However, the       
operating margin has been reduced by higher paper prices and acceleration of    
staff costs (18%) as compared to productivity, and higher depreciation related  
to acquisition of new equipment. In October, the magazine printing press        
acquired in the first half of the year enabling to increase the production      
capacity of Printall by one third, became operational. The new printing press   
which will be fully operational in 2008 was acquired for the purpose of         
increasing capacity primarily in foreign markets. In 2007, exports made up ca   
45% of the sales revenue of Printall.                                           
The remarkable 28% sales growth in book sales in the 4th quarter of 2007 as     
compared to the 4th quarter of 2006 is a sign of a favourable market condition  
which was well utilised with the opening of a new book store in Viljandi and    
expansion of the commercial space in Viru Centre. Sales are expected to grow    
further after the opening of a new store in Tartu. The respectable 39.3% EBITDA 
growth in the 4th quarter as compared to the same period last year has been     
attained due to improved inventory accounting as well as regular evaluations.   

The sales of information services increased by 5% in 2007 as compared to 2006.  
Modest sales growth is related to the changes in the accounting policies of     
revenue recognition. In 2007, revenue is allocated to periods according to the  
duration of the contract of information services. EBITDA made up 80% of the 2006
level. The decline of EBITDA is related to the costs of launching the           
information telephone at the Romanian subsidiary of AS Ekspress Hotline leading 
to a loss of EEK 3 million (EUR 0.2 million).                                   

Net profit                                                                      
For the whole year of 2007, the gross profit of the Ekspress Group was 25.7%,   
being at the same level as last year. In the 4th quarter, the gross margin      
reached 23.5% as compared to 22.5% in the same period last year. The gross      
profit for 2007 reached EEK 295.5 million (EUR 18.9 million), growing by 23.6%  
in a year.                                                                      
The gross profit in the fourth quarter increased by 42.8% as compared to the    
same period last year. The Group's marketing expenses increased due to the      
expansion of the Group and launching of new products. The annual growth was 23%.

addition of new companies and also due to wage rise, growing by 37.2 %.

million), increasing by 5.2% as compared to last year. The operating margin in  
the 4th quarter was 9.5% (4th quarter 2006: 12.3%). The slowdown of EBIT in the 
4th quarter was related to depreciation growth in conjunction with new          
intangibles acquired in the acquisition of Delfi and Maaleht.                   

In 2007, the Group's financial expenses reached EEK 25.9 million (EUR 1.7       
million). A major part of the financial expenses is made up of interest expenses
in the amount of EEK 24.6 million (EUR 1.6 million). The growth of interest     
expenses is related to the loan in the amount of EEK 674.4 million (EUR 43.1    
million) taken from the syndicate of SEB Eesti Ühispank, Sampo Pank and Nordea  
Pank for the acquisition of Delfi and Maaleht by the Ekspress Group.

interest) in the amount of EEK 92.1 million (EUR 5.9 million) in 2007. As
