Tulikivi has three product groups: Fireplaces, Sauna and Interior.
The Fireplaces product group consists of an extensive range of soapstone and ceramic products: heat-retaining fireplaces, fireplaces with bakeoven, bakeovens, stoves, design fireplaces, prefabricated fireplaces, Green products, fireplace accessories and stone cladding for fireplaces.
The products emphasise timeless design, convenience, innovative technology and high quality. Product development focuses on clean combustion, which is why most Tulikivi fireplaces already beat the world's toughest emission standards.
Besides the standard models, custom-made fireplaces can also be ordered from Tulikivi to meet the customer's own specific requirements. With the aid of the Tulikivi Figure and Color coating materials, customers can now also give their soapstone fireplace a different look by selecting from the range of threedimensional surface structures and colour options.
The Fireplaces product group also includes the Tulikivi Green products. These pellet, air-heating, water-heating and fireplace control systems are connected to the fireplace and improve the efficiency of its use. They are especially suitable for heating in low-energy and passive buildings.
Tulikivi is one of the world's largest manufacturers of heatretaining fireplaces, and in Finland it is the market leader in this sector. The products in the Fireplaces product group are on sale in all of the company's markets in Europe, North America and Russia. Most customers are building new homes or renovating existing homes, and they value bioenergy as a form of heating and appreciate the economic advantages of wood-based heating. Tulikivi fireplaces appeal to customers because of their eco-friendliness, energy efficiency, aesthetics and durability, and because of the pleasurable heat they produce.
Tulikivi launched production for its Sauna product group in 2011. The main products are electric and woodburning sauna heaters clad with soapstone, other natural stone, ceramic tiles or cast stone, or with a metal finish. Tulikivi also manufactures sauna heaters for smoke saunas and commercial saunas. Thanks to the large stone compartments in Tulikivi's sauna heaters, they always give an enjoyable and gentle sauna experience.
In sauna heaters, Tulikivi's strengths are its careful attention to safety and design. Tulikivi's Nuoska sauna heater with ceramic tile cladding won a prestigious Fennia Prize in the international Fennia Prize 2012 design competition, and the Association of Finnish Interior Design Editors chose Tulikivi's Kuura sauna heater as one of its 'Editors' Top 12' best Finnish interior design products of 2014.
The Sauna products are sold under the Tulikivi brand, and their principal markets are Finland, Russia and Sweden. The Sauna product group accessories include sauna stones, soapstone interior design products and tiles, and electric sauna heater control units that allow the temperature in the sauna to be regulated to the nearest degree. Tulikivi sauna heaters can also be directly connected to a building automation system.
The main products in the Interior product group are countertops made of different natural or composite stone materials and tiling for different rooms in the home. Tulikivi has an extensive interior stone product collection.
In home construction, natural stone is a genuine and timeless material that is extremely well suited for use in kitchens and bathrooms and for floors, walls and stairs. Each stone product is individual and unique, and natural stone products can be combined almost limitlessly. As an interior design material, natural stone is eco-friendly and fire safe and it also raises the value of the home, because stone wears better than many other surface materials.
Tulikivi also has a large paving stone collection that includes products for path and patio paving, garden borders, wall cladding, stairs and other uses in a garden or yard.
The Interior product group's most important customer segment consists of Finnish fitted kitchen suppliers, with which Tulikivi works very closely. Products are also sold directly to home builders and renovators who appreciate the natural aesthetic quality, eco-friendliness and durability of Tulikivi's interior stone products.
The Interior products are mostly manufactured at Tulikivi's own factory in Espoo, and their principal market is Finland. Soapstone interior design products and countertops are also manufactured for export to various project sites abroad.
In Finland, Tulikivi's new hexagonal soapstone tile was awarded a 'Vuoden comeback' (Comeback of the year) prize by Divaani magazine. Explaining the reasons for the award, the magazine said: "Soapstone looks so charming and chic. This Finnish tile is very handy for bathroom floors as it isn't slippery even when wet."
Competitiveness improved but demand was weak
Demand for Tulikivi Corporation's products declined considerably in the principal markets, so the overall market environment was challenging. The Tulikivi Group's net sales in 2014 decreased by nearly 10% to EUR 39.3 million (EUR 43.7 million in 1-12/2013).
The decline in consumer confidence during spring 2014 considerably reduced the level of low-rise housing construction and renovation and thus the demand for Tulikivi products. Net sales in Finland were EUR 17.9 (20.8) million, or 45.6% (47.7%) of total net sales.
The protracted European recession reduced export sales in 2014 and intensified price competition. During the second half of the year the fireplace market declined in Central Europe, especially in Germany and France, and as a result net sales were lower than anticipated. In France the government relaunched its programme to support energy-efficient construction, but the programme did not yet have a positive impact on demand in 2014. Exports amounted to EUR 21.4 (22.9) million in net sales. The principal export countries were Sweden, Russia, France, Germany and
In Russia, the market for fireplaces and saunas declined, but sales of Tulikivi products increased in euros, which meant that Russia was Tulikivi's second-largest export country. Russian consumers are interested in heat-retaining fireplaces and also in sauna heaters and soapstone interior stone products.
Belgium.
Despite the challenging market, demand is growing for the latest product ranges: saunas, design fireplaces and the new-generation Hiisi fireplace collection. The updated range of ceramic products also successfully meets the expectations of consumers and dealers. In its sauna products, Tulikivi focuses on good design and a high quality sauna experience. The new products are especially popular with architects and interior designers.
The decline in net sales meant that the cost-saving measures implemented were unable to make the company profitable. The operating result before non-recurring items in 2014 was EUR -1.4 (-1.4) million. The consolidated operating result in 2013 was EUR -2.4 (-4.3) million, and the result before taxes was EUR -3.3 (-5.3) million. Earnings per share were EUR -0.04 (-0.11). Tulikivi's production efficiency was boosted and fixed costs were reduced in line with the goals of the performance improvement
programme. Fixed costs declined almost in line with targets, by EUR 2.3 million. The reorganisation of soapstone fireplace and ceramic fireplace production in the spring and summer was successful and improved relative profitability. However, reductions in variable costs did not yet reach the targets. In addition to factory productivity, this was caused by lower-than-anticipated capacity utilisation, old fireplace model clearance sales at the end of autumn and the decline of the rouble exchange rate in November and December.
The company's management and Board are strongly committed to implementing the performance improvement programme and making the company's result profitable. In the prevailing and challenging market conditions this will require constant improvement of the cost structure and systematic measures to increase sales. Therefore the company will continue to reduce fixed costs by renewing organisational structures and practices during 2015.
A positive factor is that the measures implemented to boost production efficiency will improve profitability throughout the year. The company will also aim to make additional savings in the purchase costs of metal components. The modular products, which have been developed over recent years, will make this possible.
A key factor in the performance improvement programme is boosting sales. Sales functions were updated to increase sales. Sales were separated into five geographical areas of responsibility: Scandinavia, Russia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and Germany. The geographical areas of responsibility ensure that the distribution model in each market
area meets local needs.
In Finland we are focusing on the continuous development of Tulikivi distribution, distribution channels for the home-building industry and the development of electronic channels. In exports, we are seeking growth in new
geographical areas in Russia and Eastern Europe. Tulikivi launched direct consumer sales in Moscow as part of measures to boost sales in Russia. As well as boosting sales this will also improve Tulikivi's consumer knowledge in Russia.
In spite of the challenging financial conditions, Tulikivi implemented a comprehensive renewal of its product range. This is an important measure as customer needs have changed considerably over recent years on account of low-energy construction, changing interior design trends and improvements in other heating systems.
Fireplace regulations were clarified as the EU implemented emission proposals, which will enter into force in 2022. The majority of the fireplaces in Tulikivi's product range already meet these requirements. These regulations are significant as they will prevent individual EU countries from imposing their own demands that are stricter than the EU requirements.
Finnish regulations do not support
low-emission, factory-made heat-retaining fireplaces. Finland has no emission regulations and the tax credit for domestic help encourages consumers to choose fireplaces that are built on site.
Tulikivi's goal is to influence matters in Finland so that locally-produced Finnish energy sources are favoured over fossil fuels and nuclear power.
As part of Finnish energy policy, heat-retaining fireplaces would provide an excellent addition to other forms of renewable energy: solar and wind power and various heat pumps. Heatretaining fireplaces release heat energy evenly, which means that they are perfect for low-energy construction. According to a recent study by VVT Technical Research Centre of Finland, a heat-retaining fireplace can produce over 50% of the heat energy required by a household. As the energy requirement of a low-energy house is 5000 kWh a year, 2 cubic metres of firewood would provide 50% of the energy needs. The remaining energy requirement could be met by solar energy, for example.
From the social perspective, it is worth noting that by using wood we could reduce the amount of energy needed to import energy and level out energy consumption spikes in Finland in the middle of winter. Wood can also function as a backup in electricity supply crises.
On 8 August 2013 Tulikivi issued a stock exchange release announcing a performance improvement programme to increase its annual operating result, before non-recurring expenses, by EUR 7 million on 2013 by the end of 2015.
The programme includes measures to rationalise production, reduce costs and boost sales. Owing to a weak market, the impact of the sales efficiency measures that form part of the performance improvement programme will be felt more slowly than anticipated. The performance improvement programme generated non-recurring expenses of EUR 2.9 million in 2013 and EUR 1.4 million in 2014. The programme is expected to generate further non-recurring expenses of about EUR 0.5 million in 2015.

In accordance with its strategy, Tulikivi Corporation strives to ensure that the company is in possession of the best possible soapstone reserves. The company has been systematically studying soapstone reserves for over 30 years, using the expert services of the Geological Survey of Finland, for example. The aim of this work has been to evaluate current soapstone reserves in greater detail and to seek new soapstone reserves.
Tulikivi Corporation's stone supplies and reserves total just over 8 million m3. The deposits that have been studied and evaluated are at Nunnanlahti, Kuhmo, Paltamo and Suomussalmi. The company has eight valid mining patents: two at Suomussalmi, one at Kuhmo, one at Paltamo and four at Juuka. The total area of the mining patents is 340 ha. Soapstone is currently quarried and products manufactured at Nunnanlahti and Suomussalmi. In 2014, the evaluation of deposits focused on Nunnanlahti. Investigation of potential deposits and further work on current deposits will continue in 2015.
In geographic terms quarrying is limited to small areas compared with clear cutting of forest resources, for example. A total of around 110,000 cubic metres of soapstone is quarried annually from the company's quarries. Around 25,000 cubic metres of this goes to three soapstone factories. Each year, the quarried material includes just under 80,000 cubic metres of adjoining rock that is not part of the deposits. Earth also needs to be moved from time to time when excavating quarries in order to access the deposits. When a quarry is closed, the area is made safe and the quarry's stacking area is landscaped.
In accordance with Tulikivi's environmental strategy, sparing use of natural resources is important. The overall yield of raw material is improved through product development, taking account of the raw material's properties and using production technologies that make efficient use of the material. Tulikivi's strategic goal is to ensure sufficient raw material reserves for decades to come.
Soapstone is extracted by sawing. The extraction does not require chemical treatment, and no chemicals are used in the quarrying. The saws used in the quarrying run on electricity and do not require cooling water. Only bio-oils such as rapeseed oil and tall oil are used for lubricating the blades. The
rainwater entering the quarry is pumped into sedimentation pools. Water samples are taken three times a year in order to monitor the environmental impact of the quarrying operation. Studies show that soapstone dust does not spread far from the sawing site. Watering is used to prevent the dust from spreading in dry weather. The noise from the extraction is mainly sawing and machine noise. The noise emitted from Tulikivi's operations is within the permitted limits. In the quarrying work, the blasting of adjoining rock takes place a few times per week.
The principal aims of Tulikivi's operations are
as follows: a safe and healthy work environment, the sparing use of natural resources, and management of quarrying and production processes that minimises adverse environmental effects. Tulikivi takes environmental considerations into account in its acquisition of raw materials, in production and in the end products, and it monitors the environmental effects of its operations in accordance with officially approved monitoring programmes. Tulikivi has permits granted by the environmental and mining authorities for its entire production and a permit for the storage and use of blasting materials.
Tulikivi's operations are guided by the company's values. Accordingly, it complies with the relevant legislation and regulations in all its activities and operates responsibly towards society at large, the environment and the company's stakeholders. The most important stakeholders for Tulikivi are its customers, personnel, shareholders, finance providers and other cooperation partners, both
in Finland and abroad.
The aim of environmental work is to improve the company's ability to use natural resources sparingly, and to manage processes and products in a way that minimises their impact on the environment. The safety and quality of products and operations are defined in the company's quality, environmental, occupational health and occupational safety policies. Tulikivi has been granted an ISO 9001 quality certificate. Work on environmental and safety matters is continuously being developed in accordance with the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.
Tulikivi carries out long-term product development in order to ensure and enhance the environmentally friendly aspects of its products. The products must be as durable and safe as possible and their environmental impact must be
minimised at all stages of their life cycle. The aims of Tulikivi's research and development work include the provision of reliable information on the environmental impacts of its products in production and use, and the improvement of ecoefficiency and material efficiency. To improve material efficiency, Tulikivi utilizes waste materials from other parts of the ceramics industry as a raw material for its ceramic fireplaces. The materials and components used in the products are tested regularly and the products must pass type approval tests. Tulikivi's soapstone has been approved as a material that can come into contact
with food, for example. We strive to increase our suppliers' awareness of their environmental responsibilities and to act in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
Material choices, energy consumption and modes of transport together account for a significant proportion of the environmental impact of our products in the production chain. Using bioenergy-fuelled fireplaces as a heating source instead of electricity helps to cut the CO2 emissions of energy generation, thus offsetting the carbon footprint of fireplace production. Tulikivi's fireplaces already beat the world's strictest emissions standards (BimSchV), and the company is continuing its research into even cleaner combustion.
All of Tulikivi Corporation's operational quarries and production plants have valid mining and environmental permits. Tulikivi monitors the environmental impact of quarrying and complies with the officially approved supervision programmes. Operating principles have been drawn up for the quarries, and these require regular analysis of operating risks, taking into account both safety and environmental considerations. Landscaping is carried out as part of normal quarrying operations and at quarries that have ceased operating.
The raw materials used at the production plants include soapstone, natural stone and ceramic material. No substances that are hazardous to the environment are used in the processing of soapstone, and none are produced in the manufacturing process. The production plants use closed process water circulation. Tulikivi has identified energy efficiency improvement and further development of waste management as areas of its operations that require development input. Improvements in energy efficiency are being made in accordance with the energy efficiency agreement of the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK). The purpose of the agreement is to meet Finland's international commitments in mitigating climate change, based on the national energy and climate strategy. Tulikivi is committed to the measures set out in the energy efficiency agreement's action programme for 2008–2016. The agreement aims to increase the efficiency of corporate energy use by at least 9 per cent, and to continuously improve energy efficiency and promote renewable energy sources. Waste management is being developed at all of Tulikivi's sites by adopting a waste sorting system, aiming to reduce the amount of landfill waste and to reuse as much waste as possible for energy production and other purposes. Recyclable waste (e.g. board and paper) goes for recycling via normal waste management. Tulikivi has joined the Environmental Register of Packaging PYR Ltd and is a member of SELT ry (Electrical and Electronic Equipment Producers' Association).
The Tulikivi Group's main line of business is the stone processing industry. In addition, the Group engages in extensive research into
combustion and heat transfer. Tulikivi aims to achieve growth of 10 per cent in the next few years, and it also aims to reach an operating profit level of 10 per cent within the next five years. The target for return on equity is that it should exceed 20 per cent. 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 investments depreciation 2.4 1.6 Net Sales
Tulikivi's operations affect many stakeholders: customers, suppliers, service providers, employees, investors and the public sector. The direct financial impact of Tulikivi's operations on stakeholders comprised the following in 2014. Customers generated a total of EUR 39.3 million (43.7) in net sales.

In 2014 a large number of changes affecting Tulikivi's personnel were made in the company's operations. The concentration of soapstone fireplace production in a single factory, the completion of the development project for ceramic fireplaces and the start of production for stoneware tile processing were all significant projects in personnel terms and all require new skills to be learnt. The digitisation of operations and the associated development of data systems continued during the year. -0.04 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 0.70 0.60 0.40 0.30 0.20 0.10 0 0.60 0.51 0.49 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 80 40 20 0 68.1 59.3 0.8 Monthly Development of the Average Price of the A share, EUR
In soapstone production at Juuka, the production of fireplaces was concentrated in a single factory. This also involved a major production line reorganisation project and a project to redirect material flows. Meeting and reporting practices were also modified to shorten timescales. At Heinävesi, tile production was discontinued in the spring, and the processing of stoneware tiles as a cladding material for ceramic fireplaces was started on a new production line. The introduction of new practices has required flexibility and adaptability from the company's personnel, and new skills have had to be learnt. The changes taking place have resulted in a reduced need for personnel resources in production.

This has been achieved through temporary layoffs. 0.30 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0.35 89.8
A new ceramic product range was launched in the spring. The design of this product range and its preparation for production was a substantial development project for the company's design management, product development department and purchasing, and for production at Heinävesi.

The company's personnel development project continued as planned. Office staff took part in joint development and training days on the theme 'Tulikiven työpäivä' (Tulikivi working day). This included product training and training in the opportunities brought by digitisation. In production, occupational safety training was especially important: all production personnel now have an occupation safety card.

At the end of the year, the Finnish interior design magazine Divaani granted Tulikivi the 'Vuoden comeback 2014' (Comeback of the year 2014) award.
Divaani's editorial team and readers selected the best products, creators, trends and ideas of 2014. The editorial team awarded the 'Vuoden comeback' prize to Tulikivi for its novel and fresh use of soapstone: "Tulikivi's new mosaic tile both surprises and delights: soapstone looks so charming and chic. This Finnish tile is very handy for bathroom floors, as it isn't even slippery when wet."
Tulikivi was present for the first time at the Hearth & Home Exhibition.
In Harrogate in the United Kingdom, the Tulikivi Hiisi 5 soapstone hybrid fireplace gained first place in the 'Pellet or wood chip' fireplaces category. The Hiisi is Tulikivi's smallest but also most energy-efficient heat-retaining fireplace, with an efficiency of 80–89%. The Hiisi is an innovative hybrid fireplace with a firebox that can burn both wood and pellets. The compact structure and the scope for integration with the W10 water-heating system make the Hiisi an excellent option for building low-energy homes. Tulikivi's Nietta i23 design fireplace also made it as a finalist in the category 'Wood log and multifuel' fireplaces. The contestants were evaluated on the basis of appearance, power and usability.
The Association of Finnish Interior Design Editors chose Tulikivi's Kuura
The Kuura electric sauna heater was one of its 'Editors' Top 12' best Finnish interior design products of 2014, which focused on new products that had entered production. With this award, the design editors wanted to highlight what they see as sensible, ergonomic, beautiful and functional design. Named on a wintry theme, the Kuura's very striking look is new in sauna heater design, and its distinct form gives it a visual calmness.
According to the design editors, the Kuura sauna heater takes Finnish sauna culture a step forward without losing the traditional atmosphere of the sauna. The editors' award winners are united by good design that appeals to the user's values and awakens the senses. The chosen products, including the Kuura, are mostly locally produced and designed. In its choices, the Association of Finnish Interior Design Editors also emphasised the Helsinki Design Week theme 'Loikka', i.e. daring to jump to new challenges and to boldly introduce new ideas. Tulikivi has, says the Association, focused resolutely on revitalising and developing its fireplaces and sauna products, and on visual appearance.
Tulikivi's flagship store in Tammisto, Vantaa, was refurbished and now includes all of Tulikivi's product groups.
The store now has an extensive display of Tulikivi's soapstone and ceramic fireplaces, woodburning and electric sauna heaters and interior stone products. Following the refurbishment, the new Tammisto store has double the floorspace, and now displays more than 30 fireplaces and 10 sauna heaters. The store also features two saunas for product display purposes, which include the Nuoska and Riite sauna heaters, which are integrated with the sauna benches. There is an extensive range of interior stone products on display at the store, with the focus on interior design, floors and countertops. The new-look store is spacious and light.
A large number of new Tulikivi stores have been opened by dealers in the company's export countries. The most significant of these new stores were those in Schörfling am Attersee in Austria, and Bielefeld in Germany. Other new Tulikivi stores opened by its dealers abroad include stores in Lithuania (Kaunas), South Korea and France (Nantes and Metz). A new store has also been refurbished in Moscow and will open in March 2015.
In the spring, Tulikivi launched a completely redesigned multilingual website with the aim of more effectively presenting its new fireplace collection and accompanying material.
Key elements of the new website are its suitability for mobile devices and the linkage to the company's other web services such as the online shop and social media.
In addition, Tulikivi's Finnish online shop was fully up and running during the year. The online shop's product range includes not only sauna heaters, fireplaces and interior stone products, but also a wide selection of accessories for fireplaces and saunas, and spare parts and supporting products. Tulikivi's online shop will be enlarged to include export sales during 2015.
Tulikivi also focused heavily on social media during the year, with the aim of providing good customer service, information and genuine dialogue with fans and customers alike. The company is on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, Google+ and Houzz.
Tulikivi is involved in the novel Q-TIO sauna concept through the inclusion of its striking new Tulikivi sauna heaters clad in cast stone. The Q-TIO sauna collection's stylish saunas respect tradition while also enabling versatile use of the sauna spaces. With their Q-TIO concept, Tulikivi, Q-TIO and Tervaleppä are producing exciting solutions for the sauna and for shower rooms. At the heart of the concept lies Finnish sauna expertise and design.
The novel, versatile Q-TIO furniture units function as a seat or a table, or even a shelf system if units are combined. The design of the Q-TIO furniture and saunas has been the responsibility of interior and concept designer Anne Munkki and industrial designer Jesse Laivo. Suomen Tervaleppä Oy is in charge of production and sale of the furniture and saunas.
Tulikivi's very strikingly designed Kuura, Riite and Huurre sauna heaters, clad in cast stone, offer a new twist on sauna heater design, making them a great fit for the Q-TIO sauna concept. Available round or square with rounded corners, the distinct form of the Kuura gives it a visual calmness. The rounded Riite features an Art Nouveau pattern or clear-lined arrangement with three segments. The Huurre, which is square-shaped with rounded corners, has a wavy, rippled surface texture. The colour and shape options of these eye-catching sauna heaters make them ideal for either a light or dark sauna design.
Tulikivi's popular range of modern power heaters was expanded in the late spring with the Valkia Kide and Valkia Aalto hybrid fireplaces, which can burn both wood and pellets. This range of fireplaces combines excellent heating capacity with attractive design.
They incorporate a large amount of soapstone and their advanced combustion technology means that they can heat large spaces with just a small amount of wood. The fireplaces can be integrated with hot water central heating and are perfect for low-energy homes.
Soapstone forms the core of these power heaters, and for their external appearance you can choose from different surface coatings. The Valkia Kide and Valkia Aalto fireplaces have the three-dimen sional Tulikivi Figure coating, which is made of a fireproof material. The product names of these fireplaces refer to their surface patterns: the Valkia Aalto has a wavy, rippled appearance, and the Kide has a crystal-like pattern. The surface patterns can be accentuated by the lighting in the room.
At the end of the year the product range was extended with the addition of the Valkia Nammi fireplace, which differs from the others in that it combines the best of ceramics and soapstone. Three cladding options are available for this powerful home heater: horizontal format ceramic stoneware tiles, a completely seamless stoneware tile surface, and a coarse textured finish.
The natural colour options for the cladding include tones that are dark as night or light and bright. There are eight tile tones available: gloss white, white, zinc grey, graphite grey, chocolate brown, gloss black, black, and latte beige. The gentle tones of the textured finish are natural white, putty beige, grey and dark grey.
The Valkia fireplaces have a stylish design and they feature a large, rectangular door oriented horizontally. The fireplaces are airtight and beat even the world's toughest emission standards. They also carry the Key Flag symbol indicating Finnish origin.
At the Holiday Housing Fair in Kalajoki, the Valkia Aalto was voted the best looking of Tulikivi's products. The Valkia Kide was on show for the first time at the Habitare fair, where it was well received. The launch of the Valkia Nammi was begun at the start of 2015.
Tulikivi completely redesigns its range of ceramic fireplaces.
Tulikivi's fully redesigned, modern ceramic fireplace collection was launched in May 2014. This is a new and contemporary collection of harmonious, streamlined designs that is based on six different ceramic fireplace bodies for which there are various surface cladding options and height and colour alternatives.
The body of Tulikivi's ceramic fireplaces is made of the Kermansavi fireproof material developed by the company, which guarantees that the inner parts of the fireplace can withstand high temperatures extremely well. Tulikivi uses recycled crushed ceramic material in the manufacture of these fireplace bodies.
Using different combinations of the surface materials and fireplaces bodies, more than 1,000 different fireplaces can be created. The new Kalla, Vaala, Mustio, Nuuta, Lentua and Jalanti designs are named after Finnish lakes. Five choices of cladding are available: textured surface, partially clad with stoneware tiles, fully clad with two-piece stoneware tiles, clad with large horizontal stoneware tiles or a completely seamless stoneware tile surface. The natural colours of the stoneware tiles and textured surfaces are shades of white, grey, brown and black. These stoneware tiles are available in both gloss and matt options. The stoneware tiles are worked, cut and ground at Tulikivi's Heinävesi production plant. The uniform quality of the material guarantees that the stoneware tiles will withstand the major temperature fluctuations of the fireplace extremely well. The evenness of the colour ensures that the tile ends are the same colour as the rest of the tile surface.
The fireplaces designs are tailored for particular uses and locations: as a space divider, on a standard wall or in a corner, with or without a slow cook oven, and as a fireplace with bakeoven.
Tulikivi's new ceramic fireplaces are designed to meet the demands of modern homes. Their operation is independent of the indoor air, as the combustion air is drawn into the firebox from outside, and the doors are airtight. This means the fireplace does not affect the ventilation in the home and does not use air that has already been heated. In renovation projects, the combustion air can of course be taken from indoors if necessary. The new fireplaces can also be connected to the Tulikivi Green W10 water-heating system, allowing heat from the fireplace to be used for hot water central heating and for producing domestic hot water.
The new ceramic body fireplaces can be installed traditionally by building them on-site, or they can be completely factory-made and ready for use, with installation taking just a couple of hours.
The redesigned fireplace collection is part of Tulikivi's reorganisation of production, in which it has discontinued tile production and switched to using high-quality stoneware tiles for the cladding of its ceramic fireplaces. The stoneware tiles are extremely durable, consistent in colour and of a uniform quality ceramic material, which allows the use of even large seamless surfaces in the cladding. The ceramic bodies for the fireplaces are still produced at the company's Heinävesi factory. Tulikivi's old ceramic fireplace collection was withdrawn from sale in January 2015. The new ceramic fireplace selection will be expanded later in the autumn, when this range of modern fireplaces will be joined by a more traditional fireplace selection.
The main fairs and exhibitions in Finland at which Tulikivi was present in 2014 were the Holiday Housing Fair in Kalajoki, the Housing Fair in Jyväskylä and the Habitare fair.
In export markets the Verona trade fair is definitely the most important, and Tulikivi had its own stand there.
Tulikivi had its own external stand at both the Kalajoki and Jyväskylä housing fairs, and the company was also present inside the homes on display. The Holiday Housing Fair, held for the eleventh time, featured 28 homes, and 15 of these incorporated Tulikivi fireplaces, sauna heaters, countertops or other products. The leading role at the company's own
stand was played by the new ceramic fireplaces – on show for the first time – and the Valkia Aalto fireplace. The theme of the fair was nature, terraces and waterside living, inspired by a unique landscape and location. This theme dovetailed perfectly with Tulikivi's product philosophy.
The Housing Fair at Äijälänranta in Jyväskylä had a total of 43 homes. In 13 of these, the interior featured Tulikivi fireplaces, sauna heaters and interior stone products. At its own stand, Tulikivi presented a wide selection of its latest products. These included the modern ceramic fireplace collection launched in May 2014, and a working Valkia Aalto hybrid fireplace connected to a hot water system. The contemporary cast stone sauna heaters were also there, as was a comprehensive range of interior stone products. Tulikivi's products were well suited to the theme of the event, which this time was linked to trends in living and construction. The design of the Housing Fair site was based on connecting urban living with being close to nature. Based on this theme, the focus was on natural materials.
At the Habitare 2014 fair, Tulikivi presented its Valkia Kide hybrid fireplace for the first time. In the same product family, the Valkia Aalto fireplace had already inspired a lot of interest at the summer's Housing Fair and Holiday Housing Fair. At the Habitare fair, Tulikivi also brought along its completely redesigned ceramic fireplace collection and the striking Kuura, Huurre and Riite electric sauna heaters clad in cast stone. New additions to the interior stone products collection were the fashionable hexagonal marble and soapstone mosaic tiles, which attracted huge attention during and after the fair, for instance in design magazines and blogs.
In Italy, Tulikivi displayed an extensive range of fireplaces at Verona's Progetto Fuoco international exhibition of wood-burning plant and equipment. Here, Tulikivi launched its Valkia Aalto and Kide hybrid fireplaces.
Tulikivi's heat-retaining fireplaces can produce half the thermal energy needed in low-rise housing
A joint research project on fireplaces and heating,
being carried out by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd in conjunction with operators in the fireplaces sector and the Ministry of the Environment, has studied the thermal energy output of different fireplaces in various low-rise housing designs that vary in terms of their energy efficiency. The results show that fireplaces releasing their heat slowly or very slowly, i.e. heat-retaining fireplaces, can provide about half of the heat needed by such homes without the indoor temperature rising to high.
Tulikivi Corporation has been involved in this research project, which also looked at how well the heat from the fireplaces could be utilised in heating the home. The project was motivated by the EU target of reducing energy consumption by 2020. The EU's energy efficiency directive for buildings affects national building regulations and therefore also fireplaces.
The results of the research project referred to above confirm that heat-retaining fireplaces can produce a significant share of the thermal energy in buildings, even in passive buildings, and by burning only a small amount of wood. Fireplaces will continue to play an important role in the heating arrangements for low-rising housing in the future as well.

In 2014 the operating focus will be on optimising the use of systems and improving the quality of reporting. The enterprise resources planning system contains the necessary internal control mechanisms.
In addition to various parties within the organisation, auditors also engage in internal control by conducting expanded audits on separately agreed targets. In 2014, auditing focused on the organisation and reporting of internal control, controls of sales functions, controls of the purchasing process and payment transactions, and controls of the monitoring of
working capital and inventories. With regard to the size of the Group and the nature of its activities, it has not been deemed necessary to appoint an internal auditor. The Board may choose to use an external expert in certain fields. Risk management is part of the company's control system. The purpose of risk management is to en-sure that business risks are identified and constantly monitored and evaluated as part of normal business operations.

To support the commitment of management and key personnel to the implementation of the performance improvement programme, the Board of Directors of Tulikivi Corporation decided on September 17, 2013 on a new stock option programme for the key personnel of Tulikivi Corporation, on the basis of the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on April 16, 2013. The purpose of the stock options is to provide an incentive to key personnel to commit to long-term work in order to increase shareholder value. A further purpose of the options is to commit key personnel to their employer. The plan's target group includes roughly 13 key persons, including the members of the Management Group.
A maximum total of 1 800 000 stock options will be issued, giving entitlement to subscribe a maximum total of 1 800 000 new Series A shares or Series A shares held by the company. The stock options are divided into A, B and C options and the subscription period of the shares subscribed under these options is 1 May 2016 – 31 May 2018 for stock option 2013A; 1 May 2017 – 31 May 2019 for stock option 2013B; and 1 May 2018 – 31 May 2020 for stock option 2013C. The subscription price of the
shares under all stock options is EUR 0.33 per share. The Board of Directors will determine separate financial targets based on the company's performance improvement programme for each option type, which must be met in order for the option to be granted. The number of 2013A stock options is 580 000. The EBITDA target set for their subscription was not met in the 2014 reporting period. The Board decided to extend the monitoring period to the 2015 reporting period.

The incentive pay scheme concerns all personnel and is based on the consolidated result. The result for 2014 (2013) did not justify the payment of incentive pay.

Board of Directors' Report
The demand for fireplaces in Finland was weakened by the reduced level of low-rise housing construction and renovation projects and by low consumer confidence. The slow pace of economic recovery has not yet boosted the fireplace market in Central Europe, following the prolonged economic recession. The French government started to grant a 30 per cent tax rebate on residential energy efficiency investments, which is expected to have a positive effect on the demand for fireplaces. Demand for fireplaces was good in Russia in late 2014 but the outlook for 2015 is uncertain. Tulikivi's order books at the end of the reporting period amounted to EUR 4.2 (4.4) million.
The Tulikivi Group's net sales in 2014 totalled EUR 39.3 million (EUR 43.7 million in Jan-Dec 2013), the operating result was EUR -2.4 million (-4.3) and the result before taxes was EUR -3.3 million (-5.3). As a result of adjustments to production and a reduction in fixed costs, profitability improved in 2014, and the operating result before non-recurring expenses was EUR -1.0 (-1.4) million in 2014. Earnings per share were EUR -0.04 (-0.11) for the financial year. Net sales in Finland were EUR 17.9 (20.8) million in 2014, or 45.6 per cent (47.7 per cent) of total net sales. Exports amounted to EUR 21.4 (22.9) million in net sales. The principal export countries were Sweden, Russia, France, Germany and Belgium.
Net sales and result
The Tulikivi Group's fourth-quarter net sales totalled EUR 10.7 million (EUR 11.8 million Q4/2013), the operating result was EUR -0.2 (-1.8) million and the profit before taxes was EUR -0.6 (-2.0) million. The operating result before non-recurring items was EUR 0.0 (0.5) million. These adjustments resulted in non-recurring expenses of EUR 0.1 (2.3) million for the fourth quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities before investments was EUR -2.1 (2.6) million. The non-recurring costs of the performance improvement programme affecting cash flow were roughly EUR 3 million in 2014. Committed working capital increased by EUR 2.1 (-3.9) million during the reporting period. The increase in working capital was due to an increase of EUR 0.7 million in trade receivables and a decrease of EUR 1.2 million in short-term provisions. At the end of 2014, working capital stood at EUR 7.6 (5.5) million. Interest-bearing debt was EUR 20.0 (23.0) million, and net financial expenses were EUR 0.9 (1.0) million. The equity ratio was 39.0 (38.1) per cent. The ratio of interestbearing net debt to equity, or gearing, was 89.8 (59.3) per cent. The current ratio was 1.6 (1.8). Equity per share was EUR 0.30 (0.35). At the end of the financial year, the Group's cash and other liquid assets totalled EUR 3.7 (10.7) million.
The company has several finance providers with which it has separate credit agreements. The company's credit agreements include financial covenants that concern the equity ratio, the ratio of interest-bearing debt to EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. The company meets the covenants associated with the equity ratio according to the situation on 31 December 2014. In addition, the company has
negotiated a waiver from the covenants on the ratio of interest-bearing debt and on the ratio of net debt and EBITDA as of 31 December 2014. An agreement has been reached with finance providers to postpone the repayment of debt totalling EUR 10.9 million from 2015 to 2016–2018. The covenants will be examined
If the performance improvement programme progresses as planned, the company will meet these covenants as of June 30, 2015.
The Group's investments in the reporting period came to EUR 2.4 (1.6) million, and investments in the performance improvement programme accounted for EUR 1.4 million of this figure. Research and development expenditure was EUR 1.4 (1.6) million, or 3.5 per cent (3.6 per cent) of net sales. EUR 0.2 (0.2) million of this was capitalised in the balance sheet. In accordance with the performance improvement programme, product development focused on the commercialisation of the new ceramic fireplace collection.
The Group employed an average of 281 (293) people during the financial year. Salaries and bonuses during the review period totalled EUR 11.2 (13.4) million. The salaries during the financial year included EUR 0.4 (1.6) million of non-recurring expenses. The Tulikivi Group has an incentive pay scheme for all personnel. It also
operates a stock option scheme for management and key personnel. As the EBITDA goal set for 2014 was not achieved, no incentive pay was paid and no options were distributed for 2014.

The demand for Tulikivi products is in part dependent on consumer confidence. The performance improvement programme started in 2013 includes sales and production efficiency measures and cost-saving measures, the results of which begin to show in 2014 - 2016. Due to an uncertain market outlook, the company will not issue a net sales or profit outlook for the 2015 financial year. Tulikivi's order books at the end of the reporting period amounted to EUR 4.2 (4.4) million. 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Equity/Share, EUR 0.80 0.70 0.60 0.50 0.60 -25.0 -22.6 -5 Gearing, % 120 100 80 96.5 -0.09 -0.10 -0.11 -0.11 Share Price of the A Share, Dec. 31, EUR 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 0.20

The parent company is Tulikivi Corporation (Business ID 0350080-1) and it is domiciled in Juuka, Finland. Its registered address is 83900 Juuka, Finland.
A copy of the consolidated financial statements is available on the Internet at www.tulikivi.com or at the parent company's head office, located at the above address.
Tulikivi Corporation's Board of Directors has approved these financial statements for publication at its meeting held on February 5, 2015. Under the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders may approve or reject the financial statements at the Annual General Meeting held after publication. The Annual General Meeting also has the right to decide on making changes to the financial statements.
These are the financial statements of the Group, that have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in compliance with the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations in force as at December 31, 2014. The term IFRS refers to the standards and interpretations that are approved for adoption in the Finnish Accounting Act and regulations issued by virtue to it and endorsed in the EU in accordance with the procedure defined in the EU Regulation (EY) No 1606/2002. The notes to the consoli-
dated financial statements also comply with the additional requirements under the Finnish accounting and company legislation.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivatives) carried at fair value through profit or loss. The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros. Tulikivi Group has applied the following new and amended standards as from January 1, 2014:
• IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities and subsequent amendments (in the EU effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2014): IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including associates, joint arrangements, structured entities and other off-balance sheet vehicles. The new standard expanded the notes the Group provides for its interests in other entities.
Other standards had no impact on Tulikivi Group's consolidated financial statements. Tulikivi Group has not yet adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations already issued by the IASB. The Group will adopt them as of the effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year. Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations applicable in future financial years.
• Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Disclosure Initiative* (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2016). The amendments are designed to encourage companies to apply judgement in determining what information to disclose in the financial statements. For example, the amendments clarify the application of the materiality concept and judgement when determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures.
• New IFRS 9 Financial Instruments* (effective for financial years beginning on or afterJanuary 1, 2018): IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. The Group is assessing the impact of IFRS 9.
* = not yet endorsed for use by the European Union as of December 31, 2014.
The amendments are not assessed to have an impact on Tulikivi Group's consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the management make certain estimates and judgements. Information about the areas where the management has exercised judgment in the application of the Group's accounting principles is presented under "Critical management judgments in applying the entity's accounting principles and major sources of estimation uncertainty".
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, Tulikivi Corporation, and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are companies, over which the Group has control. Control exists when the Group owns more than half of the voting rights, or it has otherwise control. Also the existence of potential voting rights is considered when assessing the conditions of control if the instruments entitling to potential voting rights are currently exercisable. Control means the power to govern financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The investment in an associate includes goodwill identified on acquisition. Unrealized gains between the Group and an associate are
Intragroup share holdings are eliminated using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquired company are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group, and the disposed subsidiaries until the control ceases. Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies, eliminated according to the ownership interest of the Group. The Group's share of the associate's profit or loss for the year is separately disclosed below operating profit. Respectively, the Group's share in the changes recognized in other comprehensive income of an associate is recognized in other comprehensive income of the Group. Associates of the Group have not had these items in the financial years 2013 or 2014.
eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the loss is due to impairment. Tulikivi Corporation owns its subsidiaries in full, therefore the Group's profit for the year or equity do not include non-controlling interests. All business combinations of the Group have taken place before the effective date of the The results and financial positions of subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the parent company's functional and presentation currency.
revised IFRS 3(2008).
Associated companies are all entities over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence mainly arises when the Group holds over 20 per cent of the voting rights or otherwise has significant influence, but no control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. When the Group's proportionate share of losses in an associate exceeds the book value of the interest, the investment is recognized in the balance sheet to
zero value and further losses are not recognized unless the Group has committed to fulfil the associates' obligations.
Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated
into the functional currency using the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. In practice, exchange rates close to the rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions are usually used. Monetary items are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date.
Exchange differences of transactions in foreign currencies and translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss. Exchange differences resulting from business operations are recognized in the respective items in the income statement as part of the operating profit. Gains or losses arising from borrowings and cash in bank are recognized in finance income and expenses.
Income and expenses in the statements of comprehensive income of the foreign Group companies are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions and the statements of financial position are translated at closing rates at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising from translation of comprehensive income with different exchange rates in the statement of comprehensive income and in the statement of financial position are recorded within equity and this change is recognised in other comprehensive income. Translation differences arising from eliminating the cost of foreign subsidiaries and from translating the foreign subsidiaries' accumulated post-acquisition equity are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a subsidiary is disposed of, in part or in full, the accumulated translation difference is transferred to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. The Group has not acquired, nor sold any foreign subsidiaries during the financial year ended or in the previous financial year.
Goodwill arisen from the acquisitions of foreign entities and related fair value adjustments to the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities are recognized as assets and liabilities of the said foreign entities and are translated to euro using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The fair value adjustments and goodwill arisen from the acquisitions occurred prior to January 1, 2004, have been recognized in euro.
Property, plant and equipment assets are measured in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges.
Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of an item of property, plant and equipment. Cost of a self-constructed asset includes material costs, direct employee benefit costs and other direct costs attributable to the cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of the asset.
A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
When the asset consists of several items with different useful lives, each item will be dealt with as a separate asset. In this case the replacement costs of the item are capitalized and any remaining part of the asset is derecognised. Otherwise subsequent costs are included in the book value of an item of property, plant and equipment only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and that the cost can be measured reliably. Other repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement when they occur.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets. Land areas are not depreciated except for mining areas, where depreciations are recognised based on the consumption of the rock material and stacking area filling time. The useful lives are as follows:
The useful lives are as follows:
| Buildings | 25 to 30 years |
|---|---|
| Constructions | 5 years |
| Process machinery | 3 to 15 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 to 8 years |
| Other property | 3 to 5 years |
| Equipment | 3 to 5 years |
| investment property(buildings) | 10 to 20 years |
when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the group will comply with attached conditions. The grants are recognised in profit or loss through the depreciation/amortisation made over the useful life of the asset. Grants received as compensation for expenses already incurred are recognised in profit or loss of the period in which they become receivable. Such government grants are presented within other operating income.
Investment properties are properties held in order to earn rental income or capital appreciation. Investment properties are

The Group had no items of property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale Goodwill arising on business combinations taking place after January 1, 2010 is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the recognised amount of noncontrolling interests and previously held equity interest in the acquired company, over the

Gain/loss on sale is determined based on the difference between the disposal price and Government grants, for example grants from Business combinations taken place between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2009 have been accounted for in accordance with the previous IFRS standard (IFRS 3(2004)). The goodwill arisen from the acquisitions occurred before January 1, 2004 represents the carrying
the state, related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset amount of goodwill at the date of transition to IFRSs based on the previous accounting principles. The cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition, such as professional fees. Goodwill is not amortised but tested annually for impairment. For this purpose the goodwill has been allocated to cash-generating units or, if an associate is in question, goodwill is included in the cost of the associate. The goodwill is measured at historical cost less impairment.
Research costs are expensed in the income statement as incurred. Development costs arising from planning of new or improved products are capitalized as intangible assets in the balance sheet when costs arising from the development phase can be reliable measured, the entity can demonstrate the technological and commercial feasibility of the product and the Group has the intention and resources to complete the development work. Capitalised development costs comprise material, labour and test costs incurred in bringing the assets capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Development costs previously expensed cannot be capitalized later.
Amortisation of an asset begins as soon as the project commences. Assets not available for use are tested annually for impairment. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful life of the capitalized development costs is 5 years during which the capitalized costs are expensed using the straight-line method.
Costs of exploration and evaluation of soapstone are mainly capitalised. However, costs of
exploration and evaluation of soapstone are expensed in statement of comprehensive income when there is significant uncertainty related to commercial viability. Elements of cost of exploration and evaluation are geographical studies, exploration drilling, trenching, sampling and activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources. After initial recognition Group applies the cost model and the assets are amortised over 5 to 10 years. The exploration and evaluation assets are classified as a separate intangible asset category until technical feasibility and commercial viability is demonstrable. Afterwards the exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified to other intangible assets. The exploration and evaluation activities start when the Ministry of Employment and the Economy has granted a right of appropriation.
Intangible assets are recognized in the balance sheet only if the cost of the item can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group.
Costs arising from establishing the soapstone quarries and construction of roads, dams and other site facilities related to the quarry are also capitalised. It can take years to establish a quarry. Amortisation of quarry lands, basins and other auxiliary structures begins when the quarry is ready and taken into production use, and the amortisation is allocated over the useful life of the quarry, that is, over the extraction period using the unit of production method. The extraction periods vary by quarries and can reach tens of years. The amount of amortisation in unit of production method is the portion of the cost equalling to the portion of extracted rock during the reporting period from the estimated total extractable amount of rock of the quarry. The amortisation period of quarries in production phase varies from ten to twenty years. The amortisation of construction expenses of roads and dams begins in the construction year. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the known or estimated useful life of the asset. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Amortisation periods of other intangible assets are as follows: Leases
| Patents and trademarks | 5 to 10 years |
|---|---|
| Development costs | 5 years |
| Distribution channel | 10 years |
| Mineral resource exploration | |
| and evaluation costs | 5 to 10 years |
| Quarrying areas | |
| and basins = | unit of production method |
| Quarrying area roads and dams 5 to 15 years | |
| Computer software | 3 to 5 years |
| Others | 5 years |
The useful life of the trademark related to Kermansavi Fireplaces has been assessed to be indefinite, because there is no foreseeable limit to the period which this asset is expected to generate net cash inflows.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of quarried blocks is affected by the stone yield percentage. The cost of acquiring finished
products includes all costs of purchase, including direct transportation, handling and other costs. The cost of own finished goods and work in progress consists of raw materials, direct labor,
other direct costs and related variable and fixed production overheads systematically allocated on a reasonable basis on a normal capacity of the production facilities. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
The leases of the Group are agreements under which substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the leased assets are retained by the lessor and the agreements are therefore classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement as rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When a lease includes both land and buildings elements, the classification of each element as either a finance lease or an operating lease is assessed separately. The Group has no leases classified as finance leases.
Assets leased out by the Group are leased under operating leases. The assets are included in property, plant and equipment or investment properties in the balance sheet. They are
depreciated over their useful lives consistent with the Group's normal depreciation policy. Part An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The impairment loss is immediately
of the leased assets is subleased. Lease income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is assessed. The recoverable amount is annually tested for impairment for the following assets independent of the existence of indicators of impairment: goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use. Mineral resource exploration and evaluation assets are tested always before reclassification of the assets in question. For the purpose of assessing criteria for recognising an impairment loss assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cashgenerating units with separately identifiable cash flows. The Group's corporate assets, which contribute to several cash-generating units and which do not generate separate cash flows, have been allocated to cash-generating units in a reasonable and consistent manner and they are tested as a part of each cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or a cash-generating unit. A pre-tax rate, which
reflects the market view on the time value of money and asset-specific risks is used as the discount rate.
recognized in profit or loss. If an impairment loss is allocated to a cash-generating unit, it is first recognised as a deduction of the goodwill allocated to the unit and then on pro-rata basis to unit's other assets. By recognition of an impairment loss the useful life of the asset to be depreciated / amortised is reassessed. For other assets except for goodwill, the impairment loss is reversed in case there is a change in those estimates that were used when the recoverable amount of the asset was determined. The increased carrying amount must not, however, exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized in prior years. Previously recognized impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed under any conditions.
Pension plans are classified either as defined benefit plans or defined contribution plans. In defined contribution plans the group makes fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay any further contributions if the receiver of payments is not able to pay the pension benefits in question. All other pension plans that do not meet these conditions are defined benefit plans. The contributions made to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the period, which they are due. Group's pension plans are defined contribution plans.
The Tulikivi Group operates a stock option scheme for management and key personnel. As the EBITDA goal set for 2014 was not achieved, no incentive pay was paid and no options were distributed for 2014.
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. A provision is measured at the present value of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. The discount factor used in the calculation of the present value is determined so that it reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and risks related to the obligation. The amount of provisions is assessed at each reporting date and adjusted to correspond to the current best estimate. Changes in provisions are recognised in income statement in the same item as the provision was originally recognised.
A warranty provision is recognized when the product subject to the warranty is sold. The amount of the warranty provision relies on the statistical information of historical warranty realization.
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has prepared a detailed restructuring plan and the restructuring either has commenced or communicated the restructuring plan to those affected by it. No provisions are recognised on expenses related to the Group's continuing operations.
A provision of onerous contracts is recognized when the incremental costs exceed the benefits received from the contract. Based on environmental legislation the group has
restoration obligations related to the factory and quarry areas. A provision is recognised in the consolidated financial statements for the estimable environmental obligations.
A contingent liability is a contingent obligation as a result of a past event and its existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. An existing obligation which probably does not require settling the payment obligation or which can not be reliably estimated is also considered a contingent liability. A contingent liability is disclosed in the notes.
Income tax expense comprises current tax based on taxable income for the period and deferred tax. Taxes are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items recognised
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. In this case, also tax is recognised within the item in question. Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the period and is calculated on the basis of the local tax legislation.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of balance sheet items and their taxable values. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination or that at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is recognised for investments in subsidiaries and associates, with the exception
that the Group is able to control the timing of the
reversal of the temporary difference and it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Group´s most significant temporary differences arise from depreciation of property, measuring derivatives at fair value, tax losses carried forward and fair value measurement associated to business combinations.
Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The recognition criteria of a deferred tax asset in this respect are
assessed at each reporting date.
For the sake of comparability between reporting periods the Group classifies certain income and expense items as non-recurring in its financial reporting. The following items are presented as non-recurring items: income and expenses
arising from Group's restructuring plans, one-time impairment losses on goodwill and other assets as well as other exceptional non-recurring items, which materially skew the comparability of profitability of Group's business functions over time.
Revenue includes the consideration received from sale of goods and services rendered measured at fair value adjusted with indirect taxes, rebates, and exchange rate differences
from sales in foreign currencies.
Revenues of sold goods are recognized when the risks, rewards and control have been transferred to the buyer. Generally this coincides with the delivery of products in accordance with the terms of a contract. Revenue from installing and services is recognised in the period when the service is rendered and it is probable that economic benefits are received for the services.
Lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group did not have any construction contract revenues in 2014 and 2013.
Interest income is recognized according to the effective interest rate method and dividend income when the right to the dividend is arisen.
The Group did not have non-current assets classified as held for sale nor discontinued operations during in 2014 or 2013.
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial asset was acquired and is made at initial recognition. Transaction costs are included in the initial value of all the financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date when the Group commits to purchase or sell the financial asset.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial assets which are classified at initial recognition in this category. The classification can only be changed under extremely rare conditions. The financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include the financial assets held for trading or financial assets that include one or more embedded derivatives that alter significantly the cash flows under a contract, when the compound financial instrument as a whole is measured at fair value. Assets classified as held for trading have been acquired principally for the purpose of short-term profit taking from market price changes. Derivatives that are not financial guarantee contracts or that do not qualify for hedge accounting are classified as held for trading. Derivatives and financial assets with maturities less than 12 months are included in current assets. The Group had no embedded derivatives or financial guarantee contracts in 2014 or 2013.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Fair values of interest rate swaps are determined based on the present value of future cash flows and fair values of forward exchange agreements based on forward exchange rates at the reporting date. The Group applies commonly accepted valuation methods in measuring derivatives and
other financial instruments that are not held for sale.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement when they arise.
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a maturity date, and the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold the financial assets to the maturity. They are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, and they are included in the non-current assets. The Group had no held-to-maturity financial assets in 2014 or 2013.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and the Group does not hold them for trading or does not explicitly designate them as available for sale at initial recognition. They are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables and are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity, to the latter if they have a maturity of more than 12 months.
Financial assets available for sale are
shares and interest-bearing securities. Availa-
ble-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value, or when the fair value can not be measured reliably, at cost. The fair value of financial assets is determined based on market bid prices. If no quoted market prices are available for the available-for-sale financial assets, the Group applies other methods of measurement. These can include, for example, recent transactions between independent parties, discounted cash flows and measurements of similar instruments. Market information is mainly applied in measurement minimising the application of factors determined by the Group itself.
The changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of tax, and presented within equity in the revaluation reserve. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or they are impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are transferred to the income statement as a reclassification adjustment. Interest income from available-forsale interest securities are recognised in finance income using the effective interest method. The Group had no available-for-sale financial assets in 2014 or 2013.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and for which the risk of changes in value is insignificant. Cash and cash equivalents mature in three months or less.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. If the fair value of an equity investment is significantly lower compared to the cost and for a time period defined by the Group, this is indication of impairment. If there is indication of impairment, the loss accumulated in the revaluation reserve is transferred in profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for-sale financial assets are not reversed through profit or loss, whereas, subsequent reversal of impairment losses on interest instruments is rec ognised in profit or loss.
The group recognises an impairment loss when there is objective evidence that the trade receivables are not collectible in full. Significant financial difficulties of a debtor, probability of bankruptcy or delay of payments exceeding 90 days are considered as evidence of an impairment of trade receivables. An impairment loss to be recognised in the income statement is determined as the difference between the carrying amount of a receivable less the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted with the effective interest rate. If, in
a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is be reversed through the income statement.
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amount for those financial liabilities carried at amortised cost. Subsequently financial liabilities, except for derivative liabilities, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities may comprise of current and non-current items. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to postpone the settlement of the liability at least 12 months from the reporting date.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits and the costs can be measured reliably. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Fees related to the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the loan facility will be drawn down. In these cases, the fees are deferred (capitalised) until the draw-down occurs. As the loan is drawn down, any related transaction fees are recognised as part of transaction expenses. To
the extent that it is probable that the loan facility will not be drawn down, the fees are capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
The principles applied in determination of fair values of all financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in note 29. Carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities by categories and their fair values.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Gains and losses from the fair value measurement are recognized following the purpose of use of the underlying derivative. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as effective hedges are
presented in the income statement, together with any changes in the hedged item. When the group enters into a derivative contract, it is accounted for either as a hedge of the fair value of receivables or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedge), or in respect of foreign currency risk, hedges of cash flows related to highly probable forecast transaction or as a derivative not qualifying for hedge accounting.
At the inception of hedge accounting the group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and at least each reporting
date, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
The fair value changes of derivatives satisfying the criteria of fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss. The fair value changes of the hedged asset or liability are treated in a similar manner in respect of the hedged risk. The Group held no derivative contracts meeting the criteria of fair value hedges in 2014 or 2013.
The effective portion of changes in the fair values of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the revaluation reserve in equity. The cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss. Gains or losses on derivatives hedging forecast foreign currency denominated sales are recognised as sales adjustments when those sales are realised. The ineffective portion of the changes in fair values is recognised in profit or loss in finance income or finance expenses. If the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, such as an item of property, plant and equipment, the gains and losses recognised in equity are accounted for as a cost adjustment of the item in question.
When a hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge expires or is sold or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss remains in equity until the forecast transaction realizes. However, if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity is immediately transferred to the profit or loss.
The fair values of hedging instruments are presented in Note 29 Commitments. Changes in the revaluation reserve are shown in note 10. Other comprehensive income.
If Tulikivi Corporation repurchases its own equity instruments the cost of these instruments is deducted from equity.
The IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements does not define the concept of operating profit. The Group has defined it as following: The operating profit is the net amount attained when the sales are added by other operating income, deducted by purchase expenses adjusted with changes in finished goods and work in progress and costs of production for own use, by employee benefit expenses, by depreciation and amortisation, by possible impairment charges and by other operating expenses. All other items are presented below operating profit in the income statement. Exchange rate differences and the fair value changes of derivatives are included in operating profit if they result from business operations, otherwise they are recognised in the financial items. Negative operating profit is referred to as Operating result in the reporting.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements estimates and assumptions about the future are made, the actual outcome of which might differ from the assumptions and estimates made previously. In addition, judgment is exercised in applying the accounting principles.
Judgments and assumptions are based on the Directors best estimate as at the reporting date. The estimates are based on earlier experience and assumptions of the future considered to be most probable at the reporting date, relating to i.a. expected development of the economic environment in which the Group operates affecting the sales volumes and expenses. The Group follows realisation of the estimates, the assumptions and the changes in the underlying factors regularly in co-operation with business units by using various, both internal and external sources of information. Possible revisions to estimates and assumptions are recognized in the period in which the estimates and assumptions are revised and in any future periods affected.
In Tulikivi the key assumptions about the future and major sources of estimation uncertainty as at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are related to, amongst others, deferred tax assets, measurement of inventories, property, plant and equipment
related to quarries, fair value measurement and impairment testing of assets acquired in business combinations, that are described in detail below. The Group management believes that these are the key areas in the financial statements, since they include the most complex accounting policies and require most significant estimates and assumptions. In addition, changes in the estimates and assumptions used in these areas of financial statements are estimated to have the most extensive effects.
The Group tests goodwill, intangible assets not yet available for use and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for potential impairment and assesses indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at each reporting date. In addition, in respect of mineral resource exploration and evaluation assets, impairment tests are performed when the assets are reclassified. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units are assessed based on their value in use. The preparation of such calculations requires the use of estimates, especially in respect of future growth estimates of the cash-generating units and changes in
profitability. Further information on the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to the changes in the assumptions used is in Note 15.3 Impairment testing.
In connection with the performance improvement programme, the organisation has been streamlined and the Fireplace and Interior Stone businesses have been integrated. Therefore, as of the beginning of 2014, the company is no longer reporting these segments saparately.

Internally generated intangible assets are costs incurred from opening new quarries and construction of basins. The carrying amount of intangible assets includes costs incurred from opening quarries EUR 4 475 (4 3508) thousand in total. Costs from opening quarries are a few €/m3 for the total stone reserves of the quarry in question. All stone reserves do not have carrying amount. Other intangible assets consist of licences, software, connection fees as well as of expenditures arisen from gates and asphalting works.
The group received EUR 112 (28) thousand public grants in 2014 for development costs and other intangible assets. The public grants have been recognised as deduction of the carrying amount.
There were no classification changes relating to the mineral resources exploration and evaluation assets, that is, there were no transfers to other intangible assets during the reporting period or comparative period. There haven't been recognised any expenditures relating to mineral resources exploration and evaluation directly as an expense in the income statement.
In 2014 deductions of intangible assets / accumulated amortisations on deductions amounted to EUR 10 thousand (EUR 0 thousand).

15.1. Goodwill allocation The Group's goodwill totals EUR 4.2 (4.2) million. Of that amount EUR 3.5 million has been allocated to Ceramic fireplaces unit and EUR 0.6 million to Interior stones , which form separate cash-generating units. Of the value of the Kermansavi trademark acquired in the acquisition of Kermansavi Oy, amounting to EUR 3.2 million, EUR 2.7 million has been allocated to Ceramic fireplaces unit and EUR 0.5 million to Utility ceramics unit. The amount has been derecognised in full as impairment losses transpired in impairment testing during previous years. The useful life of the trademark has been estimated to be indefinite. Beacause of its established brand, the management believes that the trademark will generate net cash inflows for the group for an undefined period of time.
| The carrying amounts of goodwill and trade mark were allocated as follows: | Interior stone products | Kermansavi fireplaces |
|---|---|---|
| 2014 | ||
| Goodwill | 632 | 3 542 |
| Trademark | 2 712 | |

| Goodwill | 632 | 3 542 |
| Trademark | 2 712 | |
| Total | 632 | 6 254 |
No impairment losses were recognised during the financial period.
For impairment testing purposes the recoverable amounts of the business operations are determined based on value-in-use calculations. The cash flow projections are based on the forecasts approved by management co- vering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied was 10.9 per cent (12.1 per cent in 2013) for Kermansavi fireplaces, and 10.9 per cent (12.2 per cent in 2013) for Interior Stone unit, which equal the weighted average cost of capital, including the risk premium. The growth rate of net sales applied in the forecast period is 5.0 per cent for Kermansavi fireplaces. This is based on the renewed product collection launched in the autumn 2014 that made the collection more competitive, as well as on agreements entered into in 2014 with manufacturers of pre-fabricated package houses. The reorganisation of operations and the performance improvement programme being carried out by the Group will significantly decrease variable and fixed costs of both Kermansavi fireplaces and Interior Stone unit. The growth rate of net sales applied to the Interior Stone unit in the fore- cast period is on average 1 per cent and is based on the actual long-term growth of the unit.
-Operating result of Kermansavi fireplaces is assumed to slightly improve resulting from the renewed product collection and efficiency measures under the performance improvement programme being carried out. Operating result of Interior Stone unit is assumed to improve resulting from the optimization of operations through restructuring.

Generally the Group has recognised a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses and depreciation / amortisation not yet deducted in taxation as it is pro- bable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. The losses in question expire gradually over 2019-2024. Recognition of deferred tax assets is based on the Group's profit forecast and the operating plan. The losses expire as follows: 2019: EUR 57 thousand; 2020: EUR 45 thousand; 2021: EUR 494 thousand; 2022: EUR 27 thousand; 2023: EUR 474 thousand; and 2024: EUR 714 thou- sand. As the performance improvement programme initiated towards the end of 2013 progresses, the company's fixed costs will decrease and the centralization of the soapstone fireplace production and the reorganisation of ceramic fireplace production, implemented in 2014, will improve profitability. Measures under the performance improvement programme will continue in 2015 and 2016 and consequently the company will be profitable during the strategy period.
The Group has no such unused tax losses, nor tax credits for which no deferred tax assets have been recognized.

Stock options for management and key personnel
Terms of share-based payments / Option rights Option rights are used to encourage the key employees to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value. The option rights also aim at committing the key employees to the employer.
The option program is targeted to approximately 13 key employees, including the members of the Management Group. The Board of Directors decides on the distribution of the option rights annually. For all key employees, the prerequisite for receiving stock options is share ownership in the company.
The management of Tulikivi Group and the key employees are entitled to subscribe the company shares if the separately established vesting criteria are met, as follows:
The maximum total number of stock options issued is 1,800,000, and they entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 1,800,000 new A shares in the company or existing A shares held by the company. The option rights are divided into three classes. The share subscription period, for the stock option 2013A will be 1 May 2016—31 May 2018, for the stock option 2013B, 1 May 2017—31 May 2019, and the for stock option 2013C, 1 May 2018—31 May 2020. The share subscription price for all stock options is EUR 0.33 per share. The basis for the subscription price is the subscription price used in the share issue of Tulikivi Corporation carried
out in October 2013. Dividends and equity returns paid annually will be deducted from the subscription price. For vesting of each stock option class, the Board of Directors will establish financial targets related to the company's performance improvement program separately for each stock option class. The number of stock options 2013A is 580,000. The share subscription period for the A share series for the stock options 2013A will begin only if the targets set nfor the 2014 financial year's Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amorti- zation (EBITDA) adjusted for non-recurring items are fulfilled. The theoretical market value of one stock option 2013A is EUR 0.10 per stock option. The theoretical market value of the stock options 2013A is EUR 58,000 in total. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated using the Black & Scholes stock option pricing model with the following inputs: share price EUR 0.32, share subscription price EUR 0.33, risk-free interest rate 0.89 per cent, validity of stock options approximately 4.5 years and volatility 37 per cent. The theoretical market value of the stock options has not been adjusted downward for the probability of not fulfilling the targets set for the vesting criteria.
As the EBITDA goal set for 2014 was not achieved and no options were distributed for 2014. The Board of Directors dicided to continue the measurement period of the target for the 2015 financial year.
The share subscription period for stock options 2013B will begin only if the targets established for the 2015 financial year's EBITDA adjusted by non-recurring items are fulfilled.
The number of stock options 2013B is 610,000. The theoretical market value of one stock option 2013B is EUR 0.03 per stock option. The theoretical market value of the stock options 2013B is EUR 18,300 in total. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated through the use of Black & Scholes stock option pricing model with the following input factors: share price EUR 0.21, share subscription price EUR 0.33, risk free interest rate 0.13 per cent, validity of stock options approximately 4.5 years and volatility 33 per cent. The theoretical market value of the stock options has not been adjusted downward for the probability of not fulfilling the targets established for the vesting criterion.
The Tulikivi Group didn't have any share-based payments in the year 2014 (2013).

A provision for Tulikivi Group's estimable environmental obligations has been recognised. The provision covers the costs from future closure of quarries related to monitoring waters, security arrangements and stacking area lining work. For the quarries open at the moment, the costs are estimated to incur on average in ten years from now. The discount rate used in determining the present value is 4 (4) per cent. The undiscounted amount of environmental provision was EUR 742 (1 046) thousand.
There is a warranty period of five years related to certain products of Tulikivi Group. During the warranty period faults consistent with the warranty contract are fixed at company's expense. Warranty provision is based on previous years experience on the faulty products, taking into consideration improvements.
The restructuring provision includes the continued unemployment allowance component, as well the provisions for the employer's compensation fee related to the increase of the disability component of the Finnish Employees Pension Act (TyEl). These arise from the dismissals carried out in 2013. In the comparison year 2013, the provision also included the employee benefits for the period of notice, payable in 2014, together with the related social costs, as well as, in accordance with the performance improvement programme, the expenditure arising from the closure of ceramic tile manufacturing and the lease costs related to the closed office facilities.

Debt obligations are denominated in euro.
At December 31, 2014 interest-bearing non-current liabilities effective interest rate weighted average was 3.0 per cent (3.0 per cent) including the effect of interest rate swaps and 2.9 per cent (2.8 per cent) excluding the effect of the interest rate swaps.
The Group's debt financing, EUR 13.9 (15.9) million includes covenants which are tied to the Group's equity ratio. Furthermore, a covenant condition tied to the ratio between the interest-bearing debt and EBITDA, or to the ratio between the Group's interest-bearing net debt and EBITDA, is applied on a share of EUR 13.9 (15.9) million of debt financing. These terms in case of a breach may require negotiations with the financier and arranging additional collaterals to the borrowings.
The company meets the covenants associated with the equity ratio as of December 31, 2014. In addition, the company has negotiated a waiver from the covenants on the ratio of interest-bearing debt and on the ratio of net debt and EBITDA as of December 31, 2014. An agreement has been reached with finance providers to postpone the repayment of debt totalling EUR 10.9 million from 2015 to 2016–2018. The new finance agreement also includes provisions on asset disposals and pledges. The covenants will be tested again on June 30, 2015. Assuming the performance improvement programme progresses as planned the company will meet the covenant clauses as of June 30, 2015.

The Group's activities expose it to various financial risks. The objective of the Group's financial risk management is to minimisize the unfavourable effects of the changes in the finance market to its profit for the period. The main financial risks to which the Group is exposed are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group finance has been centralised in parent company, and the financing of the subsidiaries is mainly taken care of by internal loans. The liquidity of the Group companies is centralised by consolidated accounts. The finance department is responsible for investing the liquidity surplus and for financial risk management in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors.
The group's currency risks arise from commercial transactions, monetary items in the statement of financial position and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The most important currencies in respect of the Group's foreign currency risk are US Dollar (USD) and Russian Rouble (RUB). Over 90 per cent of the Group's cash flows are denominated in euro, thus, the Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is not significant. Foreign currency risk can be hedged with forward contracts. The Group did not have any open forward contracts at the year-end 2014 (the total nominal amount being EUR 259 thousand, or RUB 12.0 million, at the year-end 2013). The group does not apply hedge accounting as defined in IAS 39 on forward contracts.
The functional currency of the parent company is Euro. Foreign currency assets and liabilities translated to euro using the balance sheet rate are as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal values, EUR 1 000 | USD | RUB | USD | RUB |
| Non-current assets | 0 | 124 | 0 | 72 |
| Current assets | 443 | 557 | 445 | 934 |
| Current liabilities | 1 | 542 | 3 | 271 |
| Position | 442 | 139 | 442 | 735 |
| Derivate contracts | 0 | 0 | 0 | 265 |
| Net position | 442 | 139 | 442 | 470 |
The equity-related foreign currency translation position, which mainly pertains to the foreign subsidiaries, was minor at the balance sheet date 2014 and 2013. The Group does not hedge the foreign equity exposure.
The table below analyses the effect of strengthening or weakening of Euro against the currencies below assuming that all other variables remain constant. The sensitivity analysis is based on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date. The sensitivity analysis takes into account the effect of the foreign currency forwards.

The Group's short-term money market investments expose Tulikivi to interest rate risk but their effect as a whole is not material. The Group's result and cash flows from operating activities are mainly independent from changes in interest rates.
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk, which largely relates to the loan portfolio. The Group can borrow funds with fixed or floating rates and use interest rate swaps in order to hedge against risks arising from fluctuation of interest rates. In accordance with the risk management principles, the amount of fixed-rate borrowings and borrowings hedged with interest derivatives shall exceed 50 per cent of the total loan portfolio. The share of the loans with floating rates amounted to EUR 15.9 (16.6) million representing 79.7 per cent (71.9 per cent) for the interest-bearing liabilities at the year-end. At the balance sheet date the Group had open interest rate swaps denominated in Euro with a nominal value of EUR 7.0 (7.8) million. Based on these interest rate swaps the Group receives floating rate interest based on Euribor rates (EUR 7.0 million / 3 months) and pays fixed interest on average 3.36 (3.16) per cent. The Group applies hedge accounting to those interest rate swaps which result in effective hedging. The fair value changes of these interest rate swaps, resulting in a loss of EUR 116 (96) thousand at the balance sheet date, are recognized in consolidated comprehensive income and the revaluation reserve under equity.
The gains from the fair value changes of other interest rate swops, amounting to EUR 7 thousand (26), are recognized in profit or loss. The cumulative interest rate risk of the borrowings is negative EUR 144 thousand (128 thousand), assuming 1 per cent point change in market interest rates, and the cumulative impact on equity is EUR 145 thousand (positive). Here the impact of the derivatives on the interest rate risk and equity has been taken into account.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk since it has a large clientele and receivables of single costumer or a group of customers is not material for the Group. The aggregate amount of the credit losses and the impairment losses on trade receivables recognised in the income statement during the financial year totalled EUR 46 (reduction in impairment losses -11) thousand. Credit risk related to commercial activities has been reduced by customer credit insurances. These covered 61.0 (54.0) per cent of the outstanding accounts at balance sheet date. Business units are responsible for credit risk related to trade receivables. The aging analysis of trade receivables is presented in note 21.2. The group's maximum credit risk exposure for trade receivables is their carrying amount at the year-end less any compensation received from customer credit insurances.
Financial instruments involve a risk of the counterparty not being able to meet its obligations. Liquid assets are invested in objects with good credit rating. Derivative contracts are entered only with banks with good credit rating.
The maximum credit risk related to group's other financial assets than trade receivables equals their carrying amounts at the balance sheet date.
The group strives to continuously asses and monitor the amount of capital needed for business operations in order to ensure that the group has adequate liquid funds for financing its operations and repayment for loans due. The Group aims at ensuring the availability and flexibility of financing is ensured, in addition to liquid funds, by using credit limits and different financial institutions for raising funds. There were no unused credit limits and undrawn credit facilities in 2014 (amounted to EUR 0.5 million in 2013) at the balance sheet date.
The following table summarises the maturity profile of the group. The undiscounted amounts include interests and capital repayments.

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using a method based on the present value of future cash flows, supported by market interest rates at the balance sheet date and other market information. Financial assets at fair value are discloded in Note 29.
The objective of the Group's capital management is through an optimal capital structure to support the business operations by ensuring the normal operating conditions and increase shareholder value by striving at the best possible return. The capital structure is effected i.a. through dividend distribution and share issues. The Group may change and adjust the dividends distributed and capital repaid to the shareholders or the number of new shares issued or decide on sales of assets in order to repay liabilities. The equity presented in the consolidated statement of financial position is managed as capital.
The group monitors the develoment of capital on the basis of the equity ratio, for which 40 per cent is set as the lowest limit for dividend distribution by the Board Directors.
The group calculates equity ratio using the following formula:
100*Equity / (Balance sheet total - Advances received)
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Equity | 18 160 | 20 779 |
| Balance sheet total | 47 187 | 54 561 |
| Advances received | 565 | 160 |
| Solvency ratio, % | 39.0 | 38.1 |
According to the credit rating byBishope D & B Finland Oy the Group's credit rating is A.

The levels in a fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: fair values are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1. However, the fair values are based on information that is observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indi- rectly (i.e. derived from prices). The fair value of these instruments is measured on the basis of generally accepted valuation techniques which primarily use inputs based on observable market data.
Level 3: fair values are not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs) but to large extent on management estimates and application of those in generally accepted valuation models. There were no trans- fers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the financial year ended and the comparative financial year.

Tulikivi group has landscaping obligations based on the Mining Act and other environmental legislation, which must be met during operations and when the quarries are shut down in the future.
Actions demanded by the environmental obligations are continuously performed besides normal production processes. Handling of water, arrangements for soil and rock material stacking areas, vibration and noise measurement, dust prevention and the monitoring the measurement result belong to these tasks. The costs relating to these activities are mainly recognised in the income statement as expense. Transport of soil material to stacking areas by opening new quarries is capitalised to other long-term expenses and depreciated during the useful life of the quarry. Lining work of stacking areas is based on long-term quarrying plans, according to which surface material of new opened quarries will be used in lining work. However, the lining work cannot be done until the point when there are finished sectors in the stacking area. The landscaping is not estimated to increase the costs of normal quarrying work.
After a factory or a quarry is shut down, the final lining work of the stacking areas, water arrangements, establishing of check points, bringing to safety condition and planting and seeding the vegetation will take place. For that part of these costs which are estimable, a provision is recognised.
Based on the environmental authorisations, the Group has given quarantees to the effect of EUR 570 000 in total. For other environmental obligations, the Group has given real estate mortgages for EUR 34 thousand. In accordance with the permit obligations, environmental monitoring of these areas is continued for the time being.

Leftover clippings from production are partly used as filling for earthwork sites, the rest is stacked in stacking areas or is transferred to a waste disposal site. The natural stone is purchased from external suppliers.
The ceramic fireplace production uses mainly recycled porcelain fracture, feldspar and various kinds of cements as raw material for concrete products. The amount of ceramic materials used annually is approximately 3 000 tonnes. The amount of surface tiles used in coating of ceramic fireplaces supplied annually is approximately 95 tonnes and waste from cutting of ceramic tile slabs is directed to the sedimentation basin. Normal washing wa- ter and waste from the ceramic and concrete production is directed to the sedimentation basin on the factory area from which the solids are carried to the dumping ground.
In 2014, 5 608 cubic meter new process water was taken in Group's production processes. Soapstone manufacturing uses a closed process water cycle. In the Espoo plant part of process waters is recyclable, in the Heinävesi production plant process waters are treated in sedimentation basins. In Heinävesi process waters are led through sedimentation basins to the water system as overflow to drainage network or they absorb into ground. Quarry waters are led to the water system through sedimentation basins. Domestic waste water is led to the municipal waste water system or in absence of such a system, in filted fields.
Group's related parties comprise the parent company, subsidiaries, associates, Board members, Managing Director and the Management Group as well as the managing directors of the foreign subsidiaries. In addition Finnish Stone Research Foundation is included in the relate parties.

Anything that may prevent or hinder the Group from achieving its objectives is designated as a risk. Risks may constitute threats, uncertainties or lost opportunities related to current or future operations. The Group's risks are divided into strategic and operational risks, damage, casualty and financial risks and loss risks. In the assessment of risks, their probability and impact are taken into account.
Strategic risks are related to the nature of business operations and concern, but are not limited to, the changes in Group's business environment, financial markets, market situation and market position as well as consumer habits and demand factors, allocation of resources, raw material reserves, changes in legislation and regulations, business operations as a whole, reputation of the company and the raw materials, and large investments.
An abrupt fall in consumer confidence may result in a quick, unexpected fall in demand. The recession and related uncertainty of consumers leads to decline in housing construction and in renovation which decreases the demand for products and thereby profitability. Recession may also affect consumers' choices by making price the dominant factor instead of product features.
Changing competitive environment and substitute products entering the market and changes in consumer habits may adversely affect the demand for Group's products. Operations in several market areas, active monitoring of industry development and flexibility of capacity and cost structure even out the sales risks arising from economic
fluctuation. The downturn may also have a negative impact on customers' solvency and subcontractors' operations. Keeping the product cost structure competitive is a prerequisite for maintaining demand and growth.
In Tulikivi's market areas, the fireplace cultures vary from areas with conventional heat-preserving ovens to countries where stoves have strong traditions. As markets become more uniform, also fireplace cultures
change in the target countries. When the market becomes uniform changes in consumer habits may affect the demand for certain products or production materials and thereby impact on profitability. Tulikivi focuses on understanding the needs of customers and meets them by, for instance, continuously developing products for new customer segments. Following trend and standard changes enhance the ability to forecast customer demand. Right customer groups are reached by correctly targeted communication. Unsound price competition decrease demand for the products and thereby weaken profitability. Disturbance may arise in connection with renewal of distribution channels or owing to reasons relating to entrepreneurs which are part of the distribution channel or competing products entering the same distribution channel. Distribution network
and product range are developed so that the distribution of the Group's products remains profitable and interesting for the entrepreneurs. Volume of the fireplace market is partly dependent on the coldness of the winter season, thus, exceptionally warm winter may reduce demand for fireplaces. In addition, public authority regulation may affect the demand for fireplaces.
Soapstone is a natural material whose integrity, texture and yield percentage vary by quarry. The quality of the raw materials affects manufacturing costs. Tulikivi seeks to determine the quality of the materials on a quarry-specific basis by taking core samples and through test excavations before opening the quarry. Risks are also posed by potential competitors in raw materials on a global scale and soapstone deposits held by parties other than Tulikivi. Tulikivi's strategic objective is to further increase the reserves of soapstone. We continuously seek and explore new deposits.
The adequacy of the stone is increased by using the raw material as precisely as possible and by accounting for the special requirements of the stone in product development. Tulikivi Group manages the competition risks of its raw materials with continuous product development, a strong total concept and the Tulikivi brand, as well as with long-term stone reserve and excavation planning.
Changes in legislation and environmental issues About half of the fireplaces manufactured by Tulikivi are exported, primarily to continental Europe, Russia and the United States. Exceptional changes in the product approval process in these countries, sudden changes in product approval, such as in the case of particulate emission limits or restrictions on use, might affect the sales potential of Tulikivi products and restrict their use. Other legislative risks are the tightening of the requirements of environmental permits for quarrying and the lengthening of permit processes. Environmental legislation and regulations may cause the company to incur costs that will affect sales margins and the earnings trend.
Tulikivi keeps abreast of the development and preparation of regulations and exercise an influence on them both directly and through regional fireplace associations. The burning technology of the products is constantly developed and product development takes a long-term approach to ensuring that Tulikivi products measure up to local regulations. We secure product approval for our products in all our business countries. Group's products have long life cycles and carbon emissions of fireplace production are extremely low.
The management of Tulikivi's business operations accounts for development opportunities, new products and customer groups and new technological solutions. New business opportunities, new markets and new product groups involve risks that may affect not only profitability, but also the Tulikivi brand. Strong fluctuations in exchange rates may hinder reaching market-specific gross margin targets.
The Tulikivi Group's strategic objective is to seek growth through acquisitions as well. Successful acquisitions and mergers have a bearing on the implementation of growth plans. If an acquisition or merger fails, the company's competitiveness might suffer and financial position may deteriorate. On the other hand, acquisitions can change the company's risk profile. However, the Group only carries out acquisitions on the basis of precise business and financial analyses. Alternative business models are actively surveyed. The Group has cut down the non-core businesses accumulated through business combinations.
Business risks are related to products, distribution channels, personnel, operations and processes.
Tulikivi Group reduces potential product liability risks by developing the products for optimal user safety. We ensure that the product and service chain spanning from Tulikivi to the customer is hitch-free and knowledgeable by providing training for retailers and installers as well as ensuring that the terms and conditions of sale are precise. We also seek to protect ourselves against product liability risks by taking out product and business liability insurance policies.
Operational risks are related to the consequences of human activities, failures in internal company processes or external events. The operational risks of factory operations are minimized by means such as compliance with the company's operating manual, by developing occupational safety consistently and with systematic development efforts. Manufacturing and introduction of new products involve risks. Careful planning and training of personnel are used as protection against these risks.
Dependence on key goods supplies might increase the Group's material costs or the costs of machinery or their spare parts or affect production. Failures in the distribution network can affect the Group's ability to deliver products timely to its customers. Energy procurements from external suppliers might influence the Group's energy costs or energy supply. On the other hand, the high price of energy supports demand for products. Changes in distribution
channels and logistics systems might also disturb operations. Contractual risks are part of operational risks.
The Group's business relies on functional and reliable information systems. The utilization of the ERP system involves risks if new practices
are not adopted in business processes and the potential provided by the new system utilized promptly. The Group aims to manage the risks related to data applicability by duplicating the critical information systems, among other things. Steps taken to manage their risks include setting up backups for critical information systems and telecom connections, selecting cooperation partners carefully and standardizing the workstation configurations and software used in the Group as well as
consistent information security practices.
In line with the nature of the Group's business, trade receivables and inventories are major balance sheet items. The credit loss risk of trade receivables is managed by means of a consistent credit granting policy, insuring receivables and effective collection.
The Group's core expertise involves its core business processes, including sales, product development, quarrying, manufacture, procurements and logistics, as well as the
necessary support functions, which include information administration, finance, HR and communications. An unforeseen drain in the core expertise or decrease in personnel's development ability or disadvantageous development in population structure in current operation locations would pose risks. Core competence conservation and availability are secured with planning the need of personnel and knowledge and engaging personnel to constant change and growth. The Group and other significant competence of its personnel by offering opportunities for on-the-job learning and training and to complete the expertise needed for strategy implementation in those areas where it has not existed before. Sufficient core competencies can be partly secured through networking. Boosting operational efficiency, controlled change and effective internal communications serve as means of managing operational and process risks.
The Group's business exposes it to a variety of financial risks. Risk management seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects of changes in the financial markets on the Group's result. The main financial risks are liquidity risk, capital management risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Financial risks and their management are presented in greater detail in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements. Any major downturn that might be caused by the euro area crisis could decrease the demand for the company´s products and the company's profitability and equity. The company's balance sheet assets include goodwill, the value of which is based on the management's estimates. If these estimates fail to materialise, it is possible that impairment losses would have to be recognised in connection with the impairment testing processes. Weakened profitability and a drop in equity could lead to deterioration in the company´s financial position. In order to meet the covenant requirements contained in the Group's bank borrowings the company's profitability should improve.
Most of the Group's production is capital-intensive and a large share of the Group's capital is committed to its production plants. A fire or serious machinery break¬down, for instance, could therefore cause major damage to assets or loss of profits as well as other indirect adverse impacts on the Group's operations. The Group seeks to protect itself against such risks by evaluating its production plants and processes from the perspective of risk management. Damage, casualty and loss risks also include occupational health and protection risks, environmental risks and accident risks. The Group regularly reviews its insurance coverage as part of overall risk management. Insurance policies are taken out to cover the risks that it is prudent to insure for business or other reasons.
There are no pending legal proceedings and the Board of Directors is not aware of any other legal risks involved in the company's operations that would have a significant effect on its result of operations.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish accounting law.
Fixed assets have been disclosed in the balance sheet at acquisition cost net of received investment grants and depreciation according to plan. Depreciation according to plan have been calculated on straight-line method based on the economic life time of the assets as follows:
| Depreciation period | |
|---|---|
| Intangible rights and other long-term expenditure | 5 to 15 years |
| Quarring areas and basins | unit of production method |
| Goodwill | 10 years |
| Buildings | 25 to 30 years |
| Constructions | 5 years |
| Process machinery | 3 to 15 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 to 8 years |
| IT equipment | 3 to 5 years |
| Development expenditure | 5 years |
The acquisition cost of equipment is depreciated applying the maximum depreciation rates allowed by the corporate tax law, starting from the time of acquisition.
Quarrying areas, including the opening costs of quarries, basins and quarry land areas are depreciated using the unit of production method based on the amount of rock used and filling time of damping areas. Depreciation of quarry lands and basins and other auxiliary structures is commenced when the quarry is ready for production use.
Inventories have been presented in accordance with the average cost principle or the net realisable value, whichever is lower. The cost value of inventories includes direct costs and their proportion of indirect manufacturing and ac- quisition costs.
Net sales represents sales after the deduction of discounts, indirect taxes and exchange gains/losses on trade receivables. Revenue has been recognized at the time of the delivery of the goods. Revenue from installing and services is recognised in the period when the service is rendered.
Research cost has been recorded as annual costs when incurred. Development costs related to Sauna products, the renewed ERP system and the commercialization of the new ceramic fireplace collection have been capitalised. Costs incurred from drilling exploration in quarry areas have been capitalised for their main part and they are depreciated over their useful lives. However, drilling exploration costs are expensed when there is significant uncertainty involved in the commercial utilization of the soapstone reserves in question.
Employee pension schemes have been arranged with external pension insurance companies. Pension costs are expensed for the year when incurred. Pension schemes for personnel outside Finland follow the local practices.
According to the Finnish corporate tax law untaxed reserves, such as accelerated depreciation, are tax deductible only if recorded in financial statements.
Income taxes include taxes corresponding to the Group companies' results for the financial period as well as the change in deferred tax asset. Deferred tax assets have been provided on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, using the tax rate enacted at the balance sheet date for the following years. Deferred tax assets have been recognised to the extent they are pro- bably recoverable.
The Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid.
The expense determined at the grant date of the stock options is based on the theoretical market value of the stock option which is calculated using the Black & Scholes stock option pricing model. The theoretical market value of the stock options has not been adjusted downward for the probability of not fulfilling the targets set for the vesting criteria. The stock options have been granted for the first time in 2013 and they can be used to subscribe shares earliest in 2016 if the vesting criteria are met. The Group had no share-based incentive plans in 2014 or 2013.
Disclosures in the reporting period and the corresponding figures for the previous period are comparable over time.
Foreign currency balance sheet items have been valued at the average exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date as indicated by the European Central Bank.

Stock options for management and key personnel
Terms of share-based payments / Option rights
Option rights are used to encourage the key employees to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value. The option rights also aim at commiting the key employees to the employer. The option program is targeted to approximately 13 key employees, including the members of the Management Group. The Board of Directors decides on the distribution of the option rights annually. For all key employees to employer, the prerequisite for receiving stock options is share ownership in the company. The management of Tulikivi Group and the key employees are entitled to subscribe the company shares if the separately established vesting criteria are met, as follows:
The maximum total number of stock options issued is 1,800,000, and they entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 1,800,000 new A shares in the company or existing A shares held by the company. The option rights are divided into three classes. The share subscription period, for the stock option 2013A will be 1 May 2016—31 May 2018, for the stock option 2013B, 1 May 2017—31 May 2019, and the for stock option 2013C, 1 May 2018—31 May 2020. The share subscription price for all stock options is EUR 0.33 per share. The basis for the subscription price is the subscription price used in the share issue of Tulikivi Corporation carried out in October 2013. Each year dividends and equity returns will be deducted from the share subscription price.
For vesting of each stock option class, the Board of Directors will establish financial targets related to the company's performance improvement program separately for each stock option class. The number of stock options 2013A is 580,000. The share subscription period for the A share series for the stock options 2013A will begin only if the targets set nfor the 2014 financial year's Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for non-recurring items are fulfilled. The theoretical market value of one stock option 2013A is EUR 0.10 per stock option. The theoretical market value of the stock options 2013A is EUR 58,000 in total. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated using the Black & Scholes stock option pricing model with the following inputs: share price EUR 0.32, share subscription price EUR 0.33, risk-free interest rate 0.89 per cent, validity of stock options approximately 4.5 years and volatility 37 per cent. The theoretical market value of the stock options has not been adjusted downward for the probability of not fulfilling the targets set for the vesting criteria.
As the EBITDA goal set for 2014 was not achieved and no options were distributed for 2014. The Board of Directors decided to continue the measurement period of the target for the 2015 financial year.
The share subscription period for stock options 2013B will begin only if the targets established for the 2015 financial year's EBITDA adjusted by non-recurring items are fulfilled
The number of stock options 2013B is 610,000. The theoretical market value of one stock option 2013B is EUR 0.03 per stock option. The theoretical market value of the stock options 2013B is EUR 18,300 in total. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated through the use of Black & Scholes stock option pricing model with the following input factors: share price EUR 0.21, share subscription price EUR 0.33, risk free interest rate 0.13 per cent, validity of stock options approximately 4.5 years and volatility 33 per cent. The theoretical market value of the stock options has not been adjusted downward for the probability of not fulfilling the targets established for the vesting criterion.
The Tulikivi Group didn't have any share-based payments in the year 2014 (2013).
During the financial year 2014 (2013), Tulikivi Oyj has neither acquired nor disposed any own shares. At the reporting date, the company held 124 200 (124 200) own A shares, which represents 0.2 % of the share capital and 0.1 % of the voting rights. The acquisition price is EUR 0.87/share on average. The acquisition of own shares has not had any significant effect on the distribution of ownership or voting rights of the company.

Tulikivi Corporation's environmental obligations, their management and recognition of environmental costs
Tulikivi group has landscaping obligations based on the Mining Act and other environmental legislation, which must be met during operations and when the quarries are shut down in the future.
Actions demanded by the environmental obligations are continuously performed besides normal production processes. Handling of water, arrangements for soil and rock material stacking areas, vibration and noise measurement, dust prevention and the monitoring the measurement result belong to these tasks. The costs relating to these activities are mainly recognised in the income statement as expense. Transport of soil material to stacking areas by opening new quarries is capitalised to other long-term expenses and depreciated during the useful life of the quarry. Lining work of stacking areas is based on long-term quarrying plans, according to which surface material of new opened quarries will be used in lining work. However, the lining work cannot be done until the point when there are finished sectors in the stacking area. No provision is recognised for the lining work, because it is not estimated to increase the costs of normal quarrying work.
After a factory or a quarry is shut down, the final lining work of the stacking areas, water arrangements, establishing of check points, bringing to safety condition and planting and seeding the vegetation will take place. For that part of these costs which are estimable, a provision is recognised.
Based on the environmental authorisations, the Company has given guarantees to the effect of EUR 570 thousand in total.

Heikki Vauhjonen Managing Director
We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Tulikivi Corporation for the year ended 31 December 2014. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control of the company's accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the report of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.
