Comptel - Making Data Beautiful

Comptel helps communication service providers (CSPs) improve customer experience, increase revenue and reduce costs. We turn data into something quite beautiful.

Together with our customers and partners we develop Customer Engagement solutions that create new bridges between CSPs and their customers.

Our customers include leading global CSPs, such as América Móvil, Bharti Airtel, China Mobile, Orascom, QTel, Saudi Telecom, T-Mobile, Telefónica O2, Vodafone and Zain. We also cooperate in sales and delivery with partners, for example IBM, Logica, Tech Mahindra and Alcatel-Lucent.

What does Comptel do?

Strategy

We respond to the challenges that CSPs face

To differentiate from competition CSPs need agility in service and customer experience management.

Comptel is connecting service fulfillment automation to real-time data collection and analysis, and our aim is to become the market leader in these areas.

Executing the strategy

Comptel's new strategy is around building an integrated offering for service providers to manage the customer experience and to drive new revenues from their subscriber base.

Comptel has a world leading platform for information extraction and automated service fulfillment. During year 2012, we will combine world class analytics capabilities with our existing software assets. Thus, we will create a unique offering that will enable operators to react quickly to events from the network and transform them automatically into relevant and timely actions that improve the customer experience.

How will Comptel grow?

img-7.jpeg

Comptel will build new solutions based on our solid installed base. We will execute the above vision of analysing network events in real-time and then taking action based on the results. By responding to subscriber's needs in real-time, CSPs can bring more value to their customers as well as to their own actions.

Secondly, we will continue to develop our services business. We will strengthen our delivery and support services, develop our managed services and continue building professional services. All our services are based on Comptel's product offering and our deep understanding of technology.

Partners will continue to play an important role in addressing the market. We will expand our partnering with small, innovative companies lacking market access, creating a new ecosystem.

Way of working

After a lively discussion within the whole company, Comptel's values were renewed during year 2011. The new values are:

  • Passion: we are proud and excited about our achievements and the benefits we bring to our customers.
  • United: we work as a team and support each other to reach our common goal.
  • Respect: we listen to our customers, keep our promises and value diversity of thinking.
  • Make it happen: we focus on the solution, nothing is impossible.

The above are examples of what Comptel's values reflect. The values give clear guidelines to all at Comptel and guide the daily work in the company.

Message from the CEO

img-8.jpeg

In 2011, we built a strong basis for Comptel's growth. We renewed the company's management and structure, established new teams and offices, adopted new values and formulated a new strategy.

We executed these changes in order to put Comptel back on a growth track. To obtain new customers, we need to operate in the local markets, close to telecom operators. We also need new products that will increase our sales to our existing, extensive customer base. Furthermore, our customers are interested in acquiring more and more of our services thanks to our leading specialist competence. We have persistently worked to build up these conditions for future growth.

We won new customers in all regions

During the year, we recruited a significant number of new professionals close to our customers and opened six new offices within our growth areas. We increased our product development investments in order to launch new products. In addition, we significantly expanded our solution-related service offering. These investments, which were in line with our strategy, deteriorated our operational profitability over the financial period.

During the year, we won 15 new customers globally, five in countries that are new to us. Furthermore, the number of projects and licences sold increased by ten from the previous year as we received 23 new significant orders. Over the last quarter, our order backlog reached a new, record-breaking level.

Surveys that we conducted at the end of the year showed that the change process has improved both our personnel and customer satisfaction.

Net sales from services turned to growth

We had a good start in developing our service operations over the reporting year. We improved the efficiency of our software deliveries, expanded our offering of managed services and built up new consultation competence. From the previous year our services sales increased by one fourth.

Professional services, outsourcing and business consultancy will complement our technology offering and strengthen our position as a trusted partner for operators undergoing business transformation process. In the long-term, increasing services plays a key part in dividing our business operations evenly throughout the year.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Analytics to be added to our offering

Comptel's strategy is based on an integrated offering, with which telecom operators can control their customers' experience and create new sales from their subscriber base. Through our 280 customers, we offer one of the world's leading software platforms for collecting information and automating service fulfillment.

At the beginning of 2012, we completed a strategic transaction by acquiring the Finnish software company Xtract, a leading global expert in customer analytics. By combining competence in analytics with our software, we have a unique offering, with which telecom operators can react quickly to events in the telecommunications network and establish automatic measures that improve the customer experience.

In 2012, we will launch our next generation Fulfillment and Order Management solutions. We are determined to expand our software offering in order to increase the share of licence sales in our net sales. This will help improve our company's profitability.

Capital returned to our shareholders

Financially speaking, the most significant event during the reporting year was the sale of the Axioss fulfillment software to Cisco Systems, which increased our operating profit from the previous year. Thanks to the transaction, we paid a capital repayment and an extra dividend to our shareholders in December. Our financial position remains strong.

The year 2011 was a time of transformation for Comptel. Several change initiatives were not yet reflected in the profit for the period, but I am convinced that we can return Comptel to the path of growth.

I wish to thank our shareholders for the trust they have shown towards our company during this transition. I also wish to warmly thank our personnel who, in addition to their strong contribution, showed an exemplary attitude towards change during the year. I wish to thank our customers and partners for their productive cooperation - which I hope will be even closer this year!

Market development

Comptel operates globally in the telecom OSS (Operations Support System) markets.

In 2011, telecom operators' revenue and investments continued a moderate growth of 6 - 8 per cent as in the previous year, and the European debt crisis did not have an impact on the industry's investments. The most important industry trend was still the strong growth of data services and of the amount of data being transmitted. In developed markets, growth was generated by mobile broadband solely and also in the developing markets the focus of growth is moving from number of subscribers to number of data services.

The development of fast broadband networks and services as well as end-user devices has led to a more versatile need to manage and charge the services. This requires investment in systems that allow flexible service packaging, selling of 3rd party services, and diverse pricing models. At the same time, operators need to invest in the consolidation and rationalisation of their existing systems.

Operators' competition for customers has intensified with new types of service providers, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple, taking their share of the business. Customer retention and capitalisation of additional sales opportunities have brought new requirements for business management systems. Operators have to automate the monitoring the customer experience and to be able to respond to customer needs in real time. In addition, a unified interface to the operations is needed as the communications network and its services are opening also to other industries such as healthcare, logistics and energy sectors.

Net sales and profitability

In 2011, the net sales of Comptel Group decreased by 1.5 per cent compared to the previous year and were EUR 76.8 million (2010: 77.9; 2009: 74.9). Net sales impaired as a result of the license sales, which was lower than in the previous year.

The Group's operating profit was EUR 11.6 million (2010: 8.9; 2009: 1.0), which corresponds 15.1 per cent (11.4) of net sales. The sale of Axios fulfillment software to Cisco Systems for EUR 22.1 million increased the operating profit. Following the impairments of goodwill and R&D capitalisations, and other deal-related expenses, the final net operating result impact of the transaction was EUR 8.8 million. Operating profit excluding one-off items was EUR 2.8 million (2010: 8.9; 2009: 3.5), corresponding 3.7 per cent (11.4) of net sales. The continued investments in sales and service organisation as well as a lower than targeted license sales weakened the profitability.

Net financial items were EUR -0.8 million (-0.7). Profit before taxes was EUR 10.7 million (8.5), which corresponds 13.9 per cent (10.9) of net sales. Net profit was EUR 7.3 million (4.7). Earnings per share for the financial year were EUR 0.07 (2010: 0.04; 2009: -0.02).

Tax expense for the financial year was EUR 3.4 million (3.8). The expense included EUR 1.3 million (1.0) of withholding taxes due to double taxation. The cumulative amount of outstanding, non-credited and as an expense recognized double withholding taxes payment since 2004 is EUR 7.6 million.

Return on equity was 16.0 per cent (2010: 9.9; 2009: -4.4).

The Group's order backlog strengthened significantly towards year-end and was EUR 47.2 million (2010: 34.0; 2009: 37.6) at the end of the financial year. Maintenance agreements represented EUR 24.9 million (20.5) and other order backlog EUR 22.3 million (13.6) of the total.

Strategic risks are considered the most significant. Strategic risks are further divided into market risks and risks related to Comptel's business strategy.

Below is a description of the most important factors outside the Group or generated by its operation, which may be of significance to Comptel's business, operating result and share price in the future.

The demand in the operations support system markets may vary significantly by region.

Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way

Comptel Annual Report 2011

Report of the Board of Directors

may significantly undermine the growth of Comptel's business and its profitability.

Characteristics for Comptel's field of industry are significant quarterly variations of net sales and profit, which are related to customers' purchasing behaviour and the timing of major single deals.

Competition in the OSS market is keen. The sector is undergoing consolidation between actors, which is reflected in the duration and pricing of agreements. If Comptel does not manage to adapt its operations and address the changes taking place in its competition environment, the market development may greatly impair the company's business and operating result.

Comptel has initiated the execution of customer and partner intimate business model which requires getting competent resources closer to key customers and partners in certain growth markets.

The Middle East, Africa and Asia are increasingly important market areas for Comptel. The company is operating in several countries where the political and social situation is unstable. Deterioration of the situation in these areas may hinder Comptel's business and undermine its profitability. The value of a single delivery project can well be several million euros. Thus a single delivery project or customer may involve a significant risk.

Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the company's reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling, Malaysian ringgit and Norwegian Krone affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit.

The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. However, the process between the states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast.

In December 2011, Cisco Systems Inc. filed a request for arbitration against Comptel Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Comptel Communications Ltd in the London Court of International Arbitration concerning Comptel's use of a certain sub-set of Axios software that was sold to Cisco and simultaneously licensed back to Comptel for use in the current release of Comptel Fulfillment. Comptel regards Cisco's claims entirely against the recent agreements concluded by Comptel and Cisco for the sale of Axios software to Cisco. This dispute has no impact on the next-generation Comptel Fulfillment 8, which will be released in summer 2012.

The financial risks of Comptel are described more in detail in attachment 26 of the financial statements.

Events after the reporting period

Comptel Corporation announced on 26 January 2012 that it will acquire Xtract Oy, a Finnish software company specialising in analytics, for a total consideration of EUR 3.1 million (enterprise value). Xtract has approximately 20 customers including telecom operators AVEA in Turkey, DNA in Finland, Megafon in Russia and TeliaSonera in Finland as well as insurance company If, retail and media companies. Xtract's net sales were EUR 2.4 million in 2011. Xtract has 27 highly skilled employees which are mainly based in Espoo, Finland. The transaction was completed on 9 February 2012 after which time onwards Xtract Group will be consolidated into Comptel Group financials. The acquisition was financed through Comptel Corporation's liquid assets. The main selling shareholders are private equity funds managed by Creandum, Innovations Kapital and Verdane.

Outlook

Comptel's order backlog at the end of 2011 was strong, creating conditions for growth during 2012.

In 2012, Comptel net sales are estimated to grow over 10 per cent from the previous year. Operating profit is estimated to represent 5 - 10 per cent of net sales.

Characteristically a significant part of Comptel's operating profit and net sales is generated in the second half of the year.

Board of Directors' Proposal for the Disposal of Profits

The Group parent company's distributable equity on 31 December 2011 was EUR 15,026,574.95 (24,980,408.87).

The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.03 (0.04 and an extraordinary dividend 0.03) per share be paid, totalling EUR 3,202,863.75 (7,473,348.75).

Significant changes have not taken place in the company's financial position after the end of the financial year. The company's liquidity is good. The Board of Directors' view is that the proposed distribution of profits does not undermine the company's solvency.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements

Company profile

Comptel Corporation is a Finnish public limited liability company organised under the laws of Finland. Founded in 1986, Comptel Corporation is one of the leading providers of productised telecom software in convergent fulfillment, mediation and charging. Comptel Corporation is listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki (CTL1V). The parent company of the Comptel Group, Comptel Corporation, is domiciled in Helsinki and its registered address is Salmisaarenaukio 1, 00180 Helsinki.

A copy of the consolidated financial statements can be obtained either from Comptel's website (www.comptel.com) or from the parent company's head office, the address of which is mentioned above.

Basis of preparation

Comptel's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in force as at 31 December 2011 including the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations. IFRSs referred to in the Finnish Accounting Act and in ordinances issued based on the provisions of this Act, refer to the standards and their interpretations adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the EU. The notes to the consolidated financial statements also conform to the Finnish accounting and company legislation.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention except for available-for-sale assets, derivative financial instruments and hedged items under fair value hedging. Share-based payments are recognised at fair value at the grant date.

All financial information presented in euros has been rounded to the nearest thousand and consequently the sum of the individual figures can deviate from the sum figure.

Comptel first adopted the IFRS in 2005 and applied IFRS 1 First-time adoption of IFRS in the transition. The transition date was 1 January 2004.

On 1 January 2011 the Group adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations endorsed by the EU and that are applicable to Comptel:

Revised IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures. The amendment simplifies and clarifies the definition of a related party and relaxes the disclosure requirements of business operations between public enterprises.

Improvements to IFRSs (May 2010) (mainly effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010). Under this procedure minor and non-urgent amendments are grouped together and carried out through a single document annually.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates as well as use judgement when applying accounting principles. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The chapter "Accounting policies requiring management's judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty" discusses judgements made by management when applying the accounting principles adopted by the Group and those financial statement items on which judgements have the most significant effect.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the parent company Comptel Corporation and all those subsidiaries in which it has, directly or indirectly, control (together referred to as "Group" or "Comptel"). Associates included in the consolidated financial statements are those entities in which the parent company Comptel Corporation has, directly or indirectly, significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Comptel Annual Report 2011

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by Comptel. Control means that the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Control exists, among other, when the voting rights attached to the shares owned by Comptel amount to 50 per cent or more of the total voting rights. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The consideration transferred and the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. The acquisition costs, excluding the costs to issue debt or equity securities, have been recognised as a cost. The consideration transferred exclude business operations treated separately from the acquisition. The impact is recognised in profit or loss when the acquisition takes place. Possible contingent consideration has been recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and has been classified as liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as liability is recognised at fair value at the end of each reporting period and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration classified as equity shall not be remeasured.

The subsidiaries acquired have been consolidated from the date of acquisition, when control commenced. The subsidiaries disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements until the control ceases. All inter-company income and expenses, receivables, liabilities and unrealised profits arising from inter-company transactions, as well as distribution of profits within the Group are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Unrealised losses are eliminated only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

The allocation of the profit or loss and the distribution of the comprehensive income for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interest are presented in connection with the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Possible non-controlling interest is recognised at fair value or amount corresponding to its proportional share of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Valuation method is defined separately for each acquisition. Comprehensive income is attributed to equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interest even if share of non-controlling interest was negative. The share of equity attributable to non-controlling interest is presented separately as part of equity in the statement of financial position. If parent company ownership change in a subsidiary and does not result in loss of controlling interest it is recognised in equity.

If a business combination is achieved in stages the previously held equity interest is recognised at fair value and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in profit or loss. If the Group no longer has a controlling stake in a subsidiary, the remaining asset is recognised at fair value at such date when the transaction takes place and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Accounting treatment for acquisitions prior to 1 January 2010 has followed the prevailing standards at the end of the reporting period.

Associates

Associates are those entities in which Comptel has significant influence. Significant influence generally arises when Comptel holds voting rights less than 50 per cent but over 20 per cent or when the Group otherwise has significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but not control. Holdings in associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. In respect of associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate. When Comptel's share in an associate's losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group's carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Group's proportionate share of associates' profit for the period is presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign currency transactions

The result and financial position of a Group entity 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 functional and presentation currency of the parent company.

21


Financial Statements

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary balances are translated at the exchange rate at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the end of reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in foreign currencies and translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

Statements of comprehensive income and cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated into euros at the average exchange rate during the financial period. Their statements of financial position are translated using the exchange rate at the end of reporting period. The translation differences arising from the translation of the profit for the period by using the average and closing rates are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate item in equity. The translation differences arising from the use of the purchase method and after the date of acquisition as well as the result of the hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity. If a subsidiary is disposed of, related cumulative translation differences deferred in equity are recognised in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. From the transition date onwards translation differences arising on the consolidation are presented as a separate component of equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities that arose on an acquisition of a foreign entity occurred prior to 1 January 2004 are translated into euros using the rate that prevailed on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arisen on an acquisition after 1 January 2004 are treated as part of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity and are translated at the closing rate.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are measured at historical cost less cumulative depreciation and any impairment losses. Where parts of an item of tangible assets have different economic useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of tangible assets. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of tangible assets. The depreciation period for machinery and equipment is four years.

Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally expensed during the period in which they are incurred except for substantial renovation expenditure relating to leased premises that are capitalised under tangible assets. Such costs are depreciated over the shorter of five years and the lease term.

Residual values of tangible assets and expected useful lives are reassessed at each reporting date and where necessary are adjusted to reflect the changes in the expected future economic benefits.

Tangible assets classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are not depreciated after the classification as held for sale.

Gains and losses on sales and disposals of tangible assets are included in operating income and in operating expenses, respectively.

According to IAS 23 borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are to be capitalised.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill resulting from business combinations subsequent to 1 January 2010 is recognised at the value at which the consideration transferred the amount of non-controlling interest and previously held assets together exceed the Group's share of the amount of the net of the acquisition-date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Acquisitions that have taken place between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2009 have been recognised based on the previous IFRS standards. Goodwill arisen from the business combinations occurred prior to the IFRS transition date has

Comptel Annual Report 2011


been accounted for in accordance with FAS and has been taken as a deemed cost.

In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment annually. Goodwill is stated at cost less any cumulative impairment losses.

Research and development costs

In accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Development costs that arise from design of new or improved products are capitalised as intangible assets in the statement of financial position when the product is technically and commercially feasible and it will generate future economic benefits. Amortisation of such an asset is commenced when it is available for use. Unfinished assets are tested annually for impairment.

Comptel capitalises development costs and costs related to internal system projects meeting the requirements under IAS 38. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over three years and the costs related to internal system projects over four years.

Government grants that compensate the Group for the development costs are either deducted from the carrying amount of the asset or from the related expenses in profit or loss.

Other intangible assets

Patents and licenses acquired as well as costs incurred from patent applications with a finite useful life are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Amortisation is calculated based on the original cost and allocated over the useful life.

The capitalised patent costs are generally amortised over ten years and licenses over four years.

The expected amortisation periods are reviewed at each reporting date and if they differ from previous estimates, the amortisation period is changed accordingly.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired on a business combination are measured at fair value. Such intangible assets relate for example to client relationships and technologies received in an asset acquisition and they are amortised over three to five years.

Leases

Comptel as lessee

IAS 17 Leases divides leases into finance and operating leases. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the typical risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. At the commencement of the lease term an asset acquired under a finance lease is recognised in the statement of financial position at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. An asset acquired under a finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the liability balance outstanding. Lease liabilities are included in financial liabilities. If the lease does not meet the requirements of a finance lease, it is always classified as an operating lease. In such a case the lessee has the right to use the asset for a limited time and the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are not transferred to the lessee.

The leases of Comptel are mainly treated as operating leases. Payments made thereunder are recognised in profit or loss as rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Comptel Annual Report 2011

Financial Statements

Impairment

Tangible and intangible assets

Comptel assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication of impairment of assets. If there are such indications, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, the recoverable amount is estimated annually for the following assets regardless of there being any indications of impairment: goodwill and unfinished intangible assets. The need for impairment is reviewed at the level of cash-generating units which is the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable, mainly independent cash flows.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use represents the discounted future net cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or a cash-generating unit. The discount rate used is the pre-tax rate that reflects the market’s view on the time value of money and the specific risks related to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is higher than the recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. If an impairment loss is allocated to a cash-generating unit, it is first allocated to decrease the goodwill allocated to this cash-generating unit and subsequently to decrease pro-rata other assets of the cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is reversed if there are any indications that the conditions and the recoverable amount have changed since the impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is never reversed.

Pension obligations

Under IAS 19 Employee Benefits pension plans are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans based on the company’s obligations. In a defined contribution plan the company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and has no further obligations. The pension plans of Comptel are arranged in accordance with the local legislation. Contributions of the defined contribution plans based on the regularly reviewed actuarial calculations prepared by the local pension insurance companies are recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the year to which they relate. Other plans are classified as defined benefit plans.

In a defined benefit plan the liability to be recognised in the statement of financial position is the net amount of the net present value of the pension obligation and the plan assets measured at fair value at the year-end, adjusted with both unrecognised actuarial gains and losses as well as with unrecognised past service cost. The calculation for pension obligations is carried out by qualified actuaries. The amount of the obligation is based on the projected unit credit method. Pension expenses are recognised in profit or loss over the expected working lives of the employees participating in the plan.

Share-based payments

Comptel has several option schemes and they are paid out as equity instruments. Equity-settled share-based schemes are measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense determined at the grant date is based on the Group’s estimate on the number of those options that eventually vest at the end of the vesting period. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Comptel has also share-based incentive programs. The share-based incentive programs provide the key personnel of the Comptel Group with a possibility to receive shares of the company as compensation. The compensation paid based on the share-based incentive programs is paid as a combination of company shares and cash after the vesting period has expired. Costs incurred from the share-based incentive programs are recognised as employee benefit expenses over the commitment period.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Comptel Annual Report 2011

Provisions

IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets prescribes the recognition criteria for a provision. A provision is based on an existing obligation and it is recognised in the statement of financial position when an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amounts recognised as provisions shall be the best estimate at the end of the reporting period and if the best estimates change the provisions are adjusted. Changes in the provision are recognised similarly in profit or loss as the original provision.

A warranty provision is recognised when a product that embodies a warranty is sold or delivered. The amount of the warranty provision is based on experience-based information about the materialisation of warranty costs.

A restructuring provision is recognised when Comptel has prepared a detailed plan for restructuring, commenced the implementation of the plan and announced about the plan. A restructuring plan includes at least the following information: the business concerned, the principal locations affected, the location, function and approximate number of employees who will be compensated for terminating their services, the expenditures that will be undertaken and when the plan will be implemented. No provision is recognised for the expenditure arising from the Group's continuing operations.

A provision is recognised when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.

Income taxes

The income taxes in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income consist of current tax and the change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax is calculated on the taxable profit for the period determined in accordance with local tax rules and is adjusted with the tax for previous years. The deferred tax amount attributable to other comprehensive income or equity is reflected in other comprehensive income or equity, accordingly.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided using the statement of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The enacted or substantially enacted tax rate at the reporting date is used as the tax rate. In Comptel the main temporary differences arise from the depreciation of tangible assets not deducted in taxation, the fair value measurement of derivatives, capitalisation of development costs and the reversal of goodwill amortisation on Group level.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised at their full amounts in the statement of financial position, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised.

Revenue recognition and net sales

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services is recognised when the service has been performed. License revenue that includes no work performance is recognised when the license is delivered. The number of subscribers at a client is reviewed continuously. If their number exceeds the number agreed on in the terms of the license, the client can be charged for the increased number of subscribers. This license upgrade revenue is recognised upon invoicing. Maintenance revenue is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the maintenance term.

Long-term projects

Revenue and expenses from long-term projects are recognised using the percentage-of-completion method, when the outcome of a long-term project can be estimated reliably. The revenue from a long-term project comprises license income and work. The outcome of a long-term project can be estimated reliably when the revenue and expenses expected as well as the progress made towards completing a particular project can be measured reliably and when it

25


Financial Statements

is probable that the economic benefits associated with the project will flow to the Group. In Comptel the degree of completion of a long-term project is determined by the relation of accrued work hours to estimated overall work hours. If it is probable that total project costs will exceed total project revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Net sales is adjusted for discounts granted, sales-related indirect taxes and effects of the translation differences arisen on the translation of the trade receivables denominated in foreign currencies.

A separate warranty provision is recognised to cover costs under warranty periods following the completion of the projects. The total estimated margin of onerous projects is recognised as an expense and a provision.

Earnings per share

The calculation of earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders that is divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Treasury shares owned by the Group are excluded when calculating the weighted average number of ordinary shares. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method, the Group assumes the following: the exercise of dilutive warrants and options occurred at the beginning of the financial period, the exercise of dilutive warrants and options granted during the period followed at their grant date and the proceeds from their exercise was spent by acquiring treasury shares at the average market price during the period. The denominator includes the weighted average number of ordinary shares and the shares to be issued following the exercise of warrants and options.

The assumptions of the exercise of options is excluded when calculating diluted earnings per share if the exercise price of the warrants and options exceeds the average share market price during the period. The options and warrants have a dilutive effect only if the average share market price during the period is higher than the subscription price of an option and a warrant.

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

In accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement the financial assets of the Group are classified to following groups: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Classification is based on the nature of the item and it is made at initial recognition.

An item is classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss when it is held for trading or classified at initial recognition as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. The latter group comprises such investments that are managed based on their fair value or an investment which contains one or more embedded derivative which changes the cash flows of the contract significantly in which case the entire compound instrument is measured at fair value. Financial assets held for trading have been mainly acquired to generate profits from short-term changes in market prices. Derivative instruments which do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting defined in IAS 39 have been classified as held for trading. Derivatives held for trading as well as financial assets maturing within 12 months are included in current assets. These assets have been measured at fair value. Unrealised and realised gains and losses arisen from fair value measurement are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost and they are included in non-current assets. Comptel had no such financial assets during the financial year ended 31 December 2009.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The Group does not hold them for trading purposes either. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date. Trade receivables are recognised based on the original amount charged from a client less any impairment losses.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose

Comptel Annual Report 2011


of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date, in which case they are classified as current. Available-for-sale financial assets may include shares (equity securities) and interest-bearing investments. They are measured at fair value, or when the fair value can not be reliably determined, at cost.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Any bank overdrafts are included within current liabilities.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are both non-current and current. A financial liability is classified as current when the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recorded as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. When the draw-down occurs, the fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as part of transaction costs. To the extent it is probable that some or all of the facility will not be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivatives are initially recognised in the statement of financial position at cost, equivalent to their fair value and are subsequently measured to fair value. Gains and losses arising from the fair value measurement are accounted for in accordance with the purpose of the derivative in the financial statements. Those derivatives that are used for hedging purposes and are effective hedges are presented consistently with the hedged item in profit or loss. When Comptel enters into a derivative contract, it is accounted for either as a fair value hedge of assets, liabilities or a firm commitment or, in respect of currency risk as a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a highly probable forecast transaction or as a derivative that does not meet the conditions of hedge accounting under IAS 39.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, Comptel formally designates and documents the hedge relationship as well as the Group's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Comptel documents and assesses, at the inception of a hedge relationship and at least at each reporting date, the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The changes in the fair values of those derivatives meeting the criteria of a fair value hedge are recognised in profit or loss together with the fair value changes of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk.

If a derivative meets the conditions of a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the hedging reserve. The accumulated gains or losses in equity are reclassified into profit or loss in the same period during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Those gains and losses resulting from the instruments hedging the expected sales denominated in foreign currency are adjusted against sales revenues. If the hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the associated gains and losses are removed from equity and are included in the cost of the asset. When a hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge expires or is sold or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. However, if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative gain or loss in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Dividends

The dividend proposed by the board of directors is not recognised until approved by a general meeting of shareholders.

Accounting policies requiring management's judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements calls for the management to make future-related estimates and assumptions which may differ from the actual results. In addition, judgment is required when applying accounting principles. The

Comptel Annual Report 2011
27


Financial Statements

estimates are based on management's best view at the reporting date. Possible changes in estimates and assumptions are recognised in that period when an assumption or estimate is corrected as well as in all subsequent periods.

In Comptel those key assumptions concerning the future and those key sources of estimation uncertainty at 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 the following:

Impairment testing

Goodwill, patenting costs and development costs capitalised under unfinished intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. Assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the principles set out above. Estimates are required in preparing these calculations.

Additional information about the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to changes in the assumptions used is presented in note 15. Intangible assets.

Revenue recognition

As described above under the heading Revenue recognition principles revenue and expenses from long-term projects are recognised using the percentage of completion method when the outcome of a long-term project can be estimated reliably. The percentage of completion method is based on estimates of total expected project revenue and costs, as well as on reliable measurement of the progress made towards completing a particular project. The recognition of project revenue and project costs in profit or loss is changed if the estimate of the outcome of a project deviates from the plan, in the period in which the change is identified for the first time and it can be estimated reliably. An expected loss on a long-term project is recognised in profit or loss immediately when it is identified and can be estimated reliably. Additional information about the long-term contracts is presented in note 3. Revenue recognition using percentage of completion method.

Application of new or amended standards and interpretations

The below described standards, interpretations or their amendments have been published but are not yet effective and Comptel has not adopted them prior to the mandatory application date. Comptel will adopt the following amended or new standards and interpretations issued by the IASB as soon as they are effective if the effective dated is the same as the beginning of the financial year, or if the effective date is different, they will be adopted as from the beginning of the following financial year:

Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2011): The amendments will promote transparency in the reporting of transfer transactions and improve users' understanding of the risk exposures relating to transfers of financial instruments and the effect of those risks on an entity's financial position, particularly those involving securitisation of financial assets. The amendments are not expected to have an impact on Comptel's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2012): The major change is the requirement to group items of other comprehensive income as to whether or not they will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The amendments only have an impact on the presentation of Comptel's consolidated financial statements. The amendments have not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): In future all actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income, i.e. the corridor approach is eliminated, and finance costs are calculated on a net funding basis. Currently Comptel does not have defined benefit plans, so the amendment will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. The amendment has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments (effective date deferred by IASB for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2015 (previously 1 January 2013)): IFRS 9 is the first step of the IASB's three-phase project to replace the current IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The amendments resulting from the first phase address the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. Different

Comptel Annual Report 2011


ways of measurement for financial assets have been retained, but simplified. Based on measurement, financial assets are classified into two main groups: financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value. Classification depends on a company's business model and the characteristics of contractual cash flows. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. Comptel Group is yet to assess the full impact of the amendments. The standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor when deciding whether an entity should be incorporated within the consolidated financial statements. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The new standard is not expected to have an impact on Comptel's consolidated financial statements. The standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): In the accounting of joint arrangements IFRS 11 focuses on the rights and obligations of the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures. In future jointly controlled entities are to be accounted for using only one method, equity method, and the other alternative, proportional consolidation is no longer allowed. Comptel does not have joint arrangements as defined in the standard. Thus, the standard will not have an impact on Comptel's consolidated financial statements. The standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): 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 information disclosed on these entities will be extended by the standard. The standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): IFRS 13 establishes a single source for all fair value measurements and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The new standard also provides a precise definition of fair value. IFRS 13 does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but it provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRSs when fair value is required or permitted. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on Comptels's consolidated financial statements. The standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IAS 27 (revised 2011) Separate Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): The revised standard includes the provisions on separate financial statements that are left after the control provisions have been included in the new IFRS 10. The revised standard will not have an impact on Comptel's consolidated financial statements. The revised standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

IAS 28 (revised 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013): Following the issue of IFRS 11 the revised IAS 28 includes the requirements for joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted. The revised standard is not expected to have an impact on Comptel's consolidated financial statements. The revised standard has not been endorsed for use in the EU yet.

2. Segment reporting

Comptel Group has five reportable segments which are based on geographical areas. In the beginning of July 2011 Comptel divided its European business into two areas: Europe East and Europe West. Comptel operates globally in all geographical market areas. Market areas differ from each other in terms of price level, competitive position and Comptel's own resource allocation. The segment division is based on the geographical location of customers. Geographical segments are Europe East, Europe West, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa and Americas. All segments generate revenue from sales of software licenses, services and support and maintenance associated with the software licenses.

Comptel Group's operating segment reporting is conforming to IFRS standards.

The assessment of the operating results and resource allocation is based on the operating result of the segment in Comptel Group. The President and CEO of Comptel Group is ultimately responsible for these decisions.

In November 2006 Comptel Corporation received a refusal from the Board of Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations concerning the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004. The claim for adjustment concerns the crediting of taxes withheld at source the company has paid in 2004 to avoid double taxation.

Comptel Corporation recognised and paid these taxes withheld at source for 2004 in 2005. According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 1,189 thousand in 2011. The total withholding taxes expensed between 2004 and 2011 amount to EUR 7,619 thousand.

Comptel Corporation has received license revenue from the countries with which Finland has a tax treaty. The purpose of the tax treaties is to avoid double taxation. Taxes have been withheld from the payments made to Comptel Corporation,

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Financial Statements

in accordance with the royalty article of the related tax treaty, in the source country of the revenue. If the taxes withheld at source paid by Comptel Corporation will not be credited in Finland, the revenue from the customers located in the tax treaty countries will be subject to double taxation.

At the end of year 2010 Comptel had a tax receivable of EUR 595 thousand from Greece and Romania. The Ministry of Finance had earlier announced that it had reached an agreement with these two countries. However, during the refund process factors indicating that Greece will not adhere to the agreement have come up. Comptel wrote off the tax receivables during 2011.

Comptel is pursuing negotiations with the Ministry of Finance in Finland and other countries that have withheld tax at source to avoid double taxation. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. The negotiation process between countries is, however, very slow and the time for the change to take place is very difficult to predict.

13. Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

2011 2010
Profit/loss for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent (EUR 1,000) 7,297 4,702
Number of outstanding shares during the financial period, weighted average 106,775,223 106,477,113
Basic earnings per share (euro) 0.07 0.04

In calculating the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares is adjusted by the effect of the conversion into shares of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Comptel has share options, which have a diluting effect, when the exercise price of the share options is lower than the fair value of the share. The fair value of the share is based on the average price of the shares during the financial period. In 2011 and 2010, the options did not have a material dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Allocation of goodwill

The goodwill EUR 10,832 thousand (EUR 10,832 thousand in 2010) relates to know-how and market knowledge of the personnel and to the development potential of technology transferred from EDP Partners in connection of the business acquisition. The expected future cash flows may be generated from all market areas, therefore goodwill can not be specifically allocated to any of the geographical segments alone. During the third quarter Comptel sold its Axios software to Cisco. As a result of the transaction, an impairment loss of EUR 8,742 thousand was recognised in 2011. The goodwill was related to the acquisition of Axiom Systems in 2008.

Impairment testing

The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined based on value in use calculations. The value in use is computed based on discounted forecast cash flows. The cash flow forecasts rely on the plans approved by the Board of Directors and management concerning in particular profitability and the growth rate of net sales. The plans cover a five-year period taking into account the recent development of the business. The used pre-tax rate discount rate is 16.4% (16.8% in 2010).

The cash flows after the five-year period have been forecast by estimating the future growth rate of net sales to be 3% (3% in 2010). Based on the impairment tests there is no need to recognise an impairment loss.

The use of the testing model requires making estimates and assumptions concerning investments, market growth and general interest rate level.

Sensitivity analysis of impairment testing

The realisation of an impairment loss would require the actual operating profit (EBIT) level to be 84% lower than the management's estimate at the end of reporting period (67% in 2010), or that the discount rate was over 34.5% (27% in 2010).

Share-based incentive plan

The key personnel of the Group has a share-based incentive program. The aim of the plan is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase the value of the company, to commit the key personnel to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on holding the company shares.

The plan includes three vesting periods, calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Board of Directors will decide on the earnings criteria for each vesting period at the beginning of each vesting period. A two-year restriction period will follow each vesting period, during which shares cannot be transferred. Should a key person's employment or service end during the restriction period, must he/she gratuitously return the shares paid as reward to the company. The reward from the plan for vesting period 2011 is based on the Comptel Group's revenue growth and operating profit margin. The earnings criteria set for the financial year 2011 were not met, and no reward will be paid for the vesting period.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


The cost of the program is recognised under employee benefit expenses over the commitment period. In 2011, EUR 143 thousand was expensed (2010: EUR 427 thousand), of which EUR 42 thousand is the portion to be paid in cash (2010: EUR 179 thousand).

The outstanding option schemes and share-based incentive programs are described in more detail in section Shares and shareholders.

22. Pension obligations

Comptel has pension plans in various countries that are based on the local legislation and well-established practices.

In addition, Comptel has had a voluntary additional pension plan to certain employees in Finland and this arrangement has been accounted for as a defined benefit plan. The plan was brought to an end during the financial year 2011.

26. Financial risk management

Comptel is exposed to financial risks in its ordinary business operations. The objective of Comptel's risk management is to minimise the adverse effects arising from fluctuations of financial markets on the Group's cash flows, result and equity. Comptel's general risk management principles are approved by the Board of Directors and their implementation is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) together with the business units. Comptel's financial policy is risk-adverse. The main financial risks for the Group are currency risk and credit risk. Financial management identifies and assesses risks and acquires the instruments needed to hedge against risks together with operating units. Hedging transactions are carried out in accordance with the written risk management principles approved by the Board of Directors. Comptel uses foreign currency forwards in its currency risk management. Other currency instruments may be used based on a resolution of the Board of Directors.

Currency risk

Comptel operates globally and is therefore exposed to currency risks arising from various currency positions. In Comptel's business operations the major currencies are Euro and US Dollar (USD). Other significant currencies are UK Pound Sterling (GBP), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and Norwegian Krona (NOK).

Comptel hedges open positions in foreign currency and applies hedge accounting for the definition of these positions. The currency position is monitored on a 12-month rolling period.

The hedging instruments are forward contracts entered into with banks. The hedging forward contract is always denominated in the same currency as the underlying item resulting the value of the hedging instrument to change in the opposite way compared to the underlying item and consequently the hedge is effective. The potential ineffectiveness may result from a possible overhedging or underhedging.

The invoicing of sales orders follows the progress of projects, which causes timely uncertainty. Moreover, the realised turnover of trade receivables exceeds the terms in the client agreements. The hedging of the future cash flows is timed taking these facts into account. The ineffective portion of a hedge is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that cash flows or the result will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Comptel's interest-bearing liabilities at 31 December 2011 totalled EUR 67 thousand, which constituted of finance lease liability with fixed interest (EUR 105 thousand in 2010). Comptel did not have any bank loans at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010. Comptel has a Revolving Credit Facility of EUR 15 million valid until 2013 and the undrawn funds amounted to EUR 15 million. The interest rate is determined based on prevailing IBOR. Possible short-term investments

Financial Statements

in financial securities gives rise to interest rate risk but the impact of such risk is not significant. Comptel's revenues and operating cash flows are mainly independent of the fluctuations of market rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party will cause a financial loss for the Group by failing to discharge an obligation. In Comptel credit risk mainly arises from trade receivables related to customers, derivatives and cash and cash equivalents.

Credit risk management principles are defined in Comptel's documented procedures (Risk Management Principles, Currency hedging in Comptel Corporation and General principles of liquidity management). Credit risk management in respect of derivatives and investments is centralised to the Group accounting department, in respect of clients and credit control to the business area organisation.

Comptel's customers are mainly mid-size or large teleoperators. The Group's clientele is large and geographically widely dispersed, which decreases the customer risk of the Group.

Comptel's business consists of deliveries of large productised IT system and the value of a single project may be several million euro. Therefore the risk associated with a single project or an individual client may be significant. Furthermore some of Comptel's clients operate in countries that are or have been war zone areas, which in part increases credit risk.

Comptel has no significant credit risk concentrations, since no individual customer or customer group represents a material risk. In delivery projects partial advance invoicing is generally used. Furthermore credit risk is reduced by progress payments invoiced based on percentage of completion. In some countries letter of credits are used.

Comptel has a policy for writing off trade receivables. According to the policy a bad debt provision of 50% of the total value is generally booked if the receivable is overdue more than 360 days and a provision of 100% is impacted when the receivable is overdue more than 540 days. The amount of credit losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the financial year 2011 was EUR 598 thousand (EUR 909 thousand in 2010). These credit losses comprised of over year old trade receivables from four customers. The maximum amount of Comptel's credit risk equals the carrying amount of financial assets at the end of the financial year. The ageing analysis of trade receivables is presented in note 18. Trade receivables and other current receivables.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk means insufficient financing or higher than normal financing expenses when business environment deteriorates and financing is needed. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that financing of business operations is available when needed quickly enough. Part of the Group's liquid funds are invested in mutual funds based on the principles approved by the Board of Directors. Comptel's main source of financing has been the operating cash flow. Cash levels are monitored on a weekly basis.

At 31 December 2011 the Group's cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 9,401 thousand (EUR 7,028 thousand at 31 December 2010). At 31 December 2011 Comptel's interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 67 thousand (EUR 105 thousand in 2010). Under the Revolving Credit Facility in place until 2013 there is still EUR 15 million available for down-draw. The Facility contains a covenant whereby Group equity ratio must be at least 35%. At 31 December 2011 Comptel's equity ratio was 66.6% (2010: 71.6%). Furthermore, Comptel has an option for TyEL (earnings-related pension) premium loan amounting to EUR 11.2 million.

The following table sets forth maturity analysis based on contractual cash flows. Cash flow includes both loan repayments and interest payments.

Capital structure management

The purpose of Comptel capital structure management is to support the business operations by securing normal operational demands and grow shareholder value in the long term. Comptel aims at continuing profitable business by investing in R&D and enhancing its presence on the global market place. The amount of dividends paid to the shareholders may vary in order for the Group to reduce debt or increase cash in hand which would result in increased opportunities to focused acquisitions also in the future.

Sensitivity to foreign exchange rates

A 10% weakening/strengthening of the euro against the currencies below at 31 December would have affected equity and result after taxes as follows:

EUR 1,000
2011 Equity Result
USD -608/608 336/-336

NOK 13/-13 13/-13
GBP 38/-38 38/-38

In calculating the sensitivity related to exchange rate changes the following assumptions were used:

  • a +/- 10% exchange rate change
  • the position comprises foreign currency financial assets and financial liabilities, i.e. trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and derivatives
  • the position excludes future foreign currency cash flows

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

For financial assets and liabilities their carrying amounts equal their fair values as the discounting has no material effect considering the short maturity of these items.

Derivative instruments measured at fair value:

2011 EUR 1,000 Positive fair value (carrying amount) Negative fair value (carrying amount) Nominal value of underlying instrument
Cash flow hedges
Recognised in other comprehensive income 781 12,752
Fair value hedges
Recognised in profit or loss 441 15,859

Currency forward contracts presented in equity will be recognised in profit or loss during 2012.

2010 EUR 1,000 Positive fair value (carrying amount) Negative fair value (carrying amount) Nominal value of underlying instrument

of which cash flow hedges -781 -781 -54 -54
Total -1,222 -1,222 156 156

According to IFRS 7 financial instruments carried at fair value must be classified according to a three level hierarchy.

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 indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Financial Statements

Level 3: fair values are based on significantly different information than the input data and is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair values are based on management estimates and application of those in generally accepted valuation models.

Litigations

In December 2011, Cisco Systems Inc. filed a request for arbitration against Comptel Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Comptel Communications Ltd in the London Court of International Arbitration concerning Comptel's use of a certain sub-set of Axios software that was sold to Cisco and simultaneously licensed back to Comptel for use in the current release of Comptel Fulfillment. Comptel regards Cisco's claims entirely against the recent agreements concluded by Comptel and Cisco for the sale of Axios software to Cisco. This dispute has no impact on the next-generation Comptel Fulfillment 8, which will be released in summer 2012.

Notes to the Financial Statements of the Parent Company, FAS

1. Accounting principles for the financial statements

Company profile

Comptel Corporation is a Finnish public limited liability company organised under the laws of Finland. Founded in 1986, Comptel Corporation is one of the leading providers of productised telecom software in convergent fulfillment, mediation and charging. Comptel Corporation is listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki (CTL1V). The parent company of the Comptel Group, Comptel Corporation, is domiciled in Helsinki and its registered address is Salmisaarenaukio 1, 00180 Helsinki.

Comptel Corporation's separate financial statements are prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Presentation of financial information

All financial information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand and consequently the sum of the individual figures can deviate from the total figure.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary balances are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in foreign currencies and translation of monetary items are recognised on the income statement.

Tangible assets, intangible assets and other long-term expenditure

Tangible assets, intangible assets and other long-term expenditure are stated at historical cost less cumulative depreciation and amortisation and any impairment losses. Where parts of an item of tangible assets, an intangible asset or parts of other long-term expenditure have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of tangible assets, intangible assets or other long-term expenditure. Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally expensed during the financial period in which they are incurred except for large renovation expenditure relating to leased premises that are capitalised under other long-term expenditure.

Depreciation and amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of an asset. The depreciation/amortisation period for all assets is four years, with the exception of the basic refurbishment of leased premises, which are amortised over the shorter of the period of five years and the lease term. The amortisation period for goodwill is five years.

Gains and losses on sales and disposals of the abovementioned assets are included in operating income and in operating expenses, respectively.

The difference between the annual depreciation according to plan and the depreciation made in taxation is shown as a separate item under appropriations in the income statement. The accumulated depreciation difference is shown under appropriations between the shareholders' equity and liabilities in the balance sheet.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed during the period in which they occur. Government grants that compensate the company for the development costs are deducted from the related expenses in the income statement.

Leases

Lease payments are expensed during the financial period in which they occur.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Comptel Annual Report 2011

Pension obligations

The pension plans of the parent company are arranged in accordance with the Finnish legislation. Contributions based on the regularly reviewed actuarial calculations prepared by the pension insurance company are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the year to which they relate.

Provisions

A provision is based on an existing obligation and it is recognised on the balance sheet when an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.

Income taxes

The income taxes in the income statement consist of income tax based on taxable profit for the financial period, adjustments to prior year taxes and withholding taxes treated as non-deductible.

Revenue recognition and net sales

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services is recognised when the service has been performed. License revenue that includes no work performance is recognised when the licence is delivered. The number of subscribers at a client is reviewed continuously. If their number exceeds the number agreed on in the terms of the licence, the client is charged for the increased number of subscribers. This licence upgrade revenue is recognised upon invoicing. Maintenance revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the maintenance term.

Long-term projects

Revenue and expenses from a long-term project are recognised using the percentage of completion method, when the outcome of a long-term project can be estimated reliably. The revenue from a long-term project comprises licence income and work. The outcome of a long-term project can be estimated reliably when the revenue and expenses expected as well as the progress made towards completing a particular project can be measured reliably and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the project will flow to the company. In Comptel the percentage of completion of a long-term project is determined by the relation of accrued work hours to estimated overall work hours. When it is probable that total project costs will exceed total project revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Net sales are adjusted for sales-related indirect taxes and other adjusting items.

A separate warranty provision is recognised to cover costs under warranty periods following the completion of the projects. The total estimated margin of onerous projects is recognised as an expense and a provision.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised at the original invoice amount to customers and stated at their cost less impairment losses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, bank balances and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Bank overdrafts, if any, are included within current liabilities.

Principles

Receivables, debt and cash flow in foreign currencies can be hedged. Cash flows are hedged against currency fluctuations in respect of those projects for which revenue is recognised based on the percentage of completion method and invoices issued in a currency other than euro.

Recognition and measurement

The company uses currency forward contracts. The changes in the values of the currency forward contracts entered into to hedge currency risks are recognised so that the interest rate difference, if material, is allocated over the term of the contract and the accrued portion is recognised in interest income or expenses. Exchange rate gains and losses are recognised as adjustments to sales or in exchange rate gains and losses under financial items, depending on the nature of the underlying item.

Any open currency forward contracts are measured at the average exchange rate at the balance sheet date and the resulting changes in value are recognised in the income statement. The exception applies to currency forward contracts relating to the company's cash flow from sales, as their changes in value are recognised in the income statement as the cash flow is realized. The nominal values and market values (closing cost) of all unexpired currency forward contracts are presented in the notes to the financial statements under the heading Collaterals, commitments and other contingent liabilities, irrespective of whether their changes in value have been recognised in the income statement.

Authorisations to the Board of Directors

The Annual General Meeting on 23 March 2011 granted to the Board of Directors an authorisation to decide on share issues and granting special rights entitling to shares. A maximum of 21,400,000 shares can be issued. A maximum of 10,700,000 of the company's treasury shares held by the company can be conveyed and/or received on basis of the special rights.

New shares may be issued and the company's treasury shares held by the company may be conveyed to the company's shareholders in proportion to their present shareholdings in the company; or waiving the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders, through a directed share issue if the company has a weighty financial reason to do so, such as using the shares to develop the company's capital structure, as financing or in implementing acquisitions or other arrangements or in implementing the company's share-based incentive program.

The Board of Directors was authorised to grant option rights and other special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act, which carry the right to receive, against payment, new shares of the company or the company's treasury shares held by the company in such a manner that the subscription price of the shares is paid in cash or by using the subscriber's receivable to set off the subscription price.

The subscription price of the new shares and the consideration payable for the company's own shares shall be recognised under the invested non-restricted equity fund.

The authorisation to share issues is valid until 30 June 2012.

Authorisation to repurchase company's own shares

The Annual General Meeting granted the Board of Directors an authorisation to repurchase a maximum of 10,700,000 of the company's own shares for developing the company's capital structure, to be used in financing or implementing acquisitions or other arrangements, for implementing the company's share-based incentive programs or to be conveyed by other means or to be cancelled.

The authorisation to repurchase the own shares is valid until 30 June 2012.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


The share subscription period of 2006 share options A expired on 30 November 2010 and share options B on 30 November 2011. During the subscription period no shares were subscribed. The number of remaining share options is 1,400,000 and they are marked with the symbol 2006C. The share options may be exercised to subscribe to a maximum of 1,400,000 Comptel shares in total.

The current share subscription price for option 2006C is EUR 1.34 which corresponds to the trade volume weighted average quotation of the Comptel share on the Helsinki stock exchange during 1 April - 30 April 2008 deducted by the dividends paid. The share subscription period for option 2006C is 1 November 2010 - 30 November 2012.

The issued share options can be exchanged for shares constituting a maximum total of 3.8 per cent of the company's shares and votes of the shares, after the potential share subscription, if new shares are issued in the share subscription.

Share-based incentive plans

The Board of Directors approved a share-based incentive plan in January 2009. The aim of the plan is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase the value of the company and to commit the key personnel to the company. The plan includes three earning periods, years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Board of Directors decides on the earnings criteria at the beginning of each period. A two-year restriction period will follow each earning period, during which shares cannot be transferred. Should a key person's employment or service end during the restriction period, he/she must gratuitously return the shares paid as reward to the company.

The reward from the earning period 2010 was based on the growth of net sales and the operating profit margin of the Comptel Group. There were 11 persons in the plan at the end of 2010. The reward for 2010 was paid in 2011 by disposing gratuitously 312,920 company shares and in cash, amounting to EUR 214,296. The potential reward from the plan for the earning period 2011 will be based on the operating profit and the growth of net sales of the Comptel Group. There were 13 persons in the plan at the end of 2011.

Shareholding of the Board and CEO

Members of the Board of Directors and the CEO held at 31 December 2011:

  • A total of 0.599 per cent of the company's outstanding shares and share options
  • 0.630 per cent of the votes and share capital

The Board of Directors' Proposal for the Distribution of Parent Company Profit

According to the parent company balance sheet at 31 December 2011 the parent company's distributable funds were EUR 15,026,574.95. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting the distributable funds be used as follows:

  • dividend of EUR 0.03 per share on the 106,762,125 shares outstanding which makes in total EUR 3,202,863.75
  • to be left in equity EUR 11,823,711.20

There have not occurred significant changes in the company's financial position after the end of the financial year. The company's liquidity is good and in the Board of Directors' view the proposed disposal of profits does not undermine the company's solvency.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Auditor's Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Comptel Corporation

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Comptel Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2011. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated 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, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO

The Board of Directors and the President and CEO 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 President and CEO 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.

Auditor's Responsibility

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 President and CEO 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.

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

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.

Comptel Annual Report 2011

Opinion on the company's financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors

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.

Other opinions

We support the adoption of the financial statements. The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the treatment of distributable funds is in compliance with the Limited Liability Companies Act. We support that the Board of Directors of the parent company and the President and CEO be discharged from liability for the financial period audited by us.

Main features of internal control and risk management systems pertaining to the financial process

Objectives of internal control

Internal control comprises all processes that are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the company's objectives in the following matters: the efficiency of operations, cost-effective use of resources, reliability of financial reporting and compliance with the laws and regulations as well as the internal principles policies.

Internal control is an essential part of Comptel's corporate governance. Comptel's Board of Directors, management and other personnel take part in internal control processes.

The objective of Comptel's internal control is to ensure that:

  • company's operations are efficient and profitable
  • financial and operational information is reliable
  • entire Group complies with the regulations and policies

Comptel Annual Report 2011
93


Corporate Governance Statement

Internal control is not a separate process, but it is integrated into the company's day-to-day operations. Internal control covers all of Comptel processes, policies and organisational structures that help to ensure that the company is achieving its objectives, that the business conduct is ethical, that the assets are managed responsibly and that financial reporting is organised properly. It includes for example reporting, approval practices and information on the compliance with the policies.

Control environment

The company values are the foundation of Comptel's internal control. During the year 2011, new values were widely discussed throughout the Group. As a result of this dialogue, the following values were selected: Passion, United, Respect, Make it happen. These common values act as guiding principles of the personnel. The company has also approved the code of conduct that guides the Group's operations. The values and the code of conduct are reflected in the day-to-day operations as well as in the internal guidelines, processes and practices, thus developing the corporate culture.

Comptel's management system is based on performance management. The strategy process controls the establishment of objectives. The annual Group-level financial and other targets are translated into targets for business and other units. Target setting is an integral part of each employee's performance management in Comptel. Duties and responsibilities are given in accordance with the strategy to promote the company's objectives.

The achievement of the Group's and individual business units' annual objectives is followed up through monthly management reporting. The Executive Board also regularly follow up on the reliability of the company's financial reporting. Comptel's financial reporting uses an Enterprise Resource Planning system. In 2011, the Group implemented a new ERP system which gives more unified support to the processes of financial administration. The Group's Financial Administration monitors the realisation of internal and external accounting and reconciles the possible differences between the two.

Comptel applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IRFS). Ensuring the reliability of financial reporting requires good organisation of the financial administration and accounting systems. The financial reporting process is monitored by the Board of Directors' Audit Committee. In connection with the statutory audit, the auditor reviews the control environment of the financial reporting as part of auditing the administration.

Risk assessment

Risk management is an important part of Comptel's internal control. The two are integrated on the process level. Risk management refers to a systematic process to identify, evaluate and control risks due to external factors as well as risks arising from the Group's own activity.

Comptel's risk management system aims at minimising the detrimental impacts of risks on the Group's profit. The Board of Directors has ratified the principles of risk management defining the risk management objectives and general practices, and also the tasks and responsibilities connected with risk management.

The Chief Financial Officer is in charge of coordinating risk management within the Group. As a general rule, the business units are responsible for identification and management of any and all risks that have an impact on their operations. Risk evaluation and management are an important part of the Group's annual business planning and strategy process, budgeting, as well as the preparatory and decision-making processes connected with commercial offers, agreements and investments and other operative activities.

In addition, the risk management system is based on monthly reports that are used to track the development of the financial position, net sales, profitability, orders, deliveries, trade receivables, order backlog and order flow, which in turn enable monitoring the development of the entire Group's results. The internal reporting is carried out by business units during the meetings of the Executive Board and in the audits of the Group's support functions.

Control activities

Comptel's internal control system includes human resources management policies, such as compensation and benefits, personnel development, recruitment and resourcing management. Individual objective and appraisal processes enable the evaluation of employees' performances on an individual level. The Human Resources function is responsible for maintaining and developing the company's HR processes.

Comptel Annual Report 2011


Comptel has confirmed the corporate approval rights. The Delegation of Authority defines the situations requiring prior approval, authorisation to sign agreements, procurement rights and approval practices concerning payments. The Accounting Manual contains the charts of account and guidelines on the use of expense accounts for those approving invoices.

Comptel's Quality System defines the company's key processes and duties as well as the related roles, responsibilities, guidelines, documentation, best practice policies and quality indicators. Comptel's customer deliveries, software development and development of internal processes comply with the project management process which is described in the company's quality management guidelines.

Revenue recognition for long-term customer projects is essential in defining Comptel's net sales and profit. The percentage of completion method, and control points have been internally defined and approved. Managing, controlling and monitoring the key process of project related revenue recognition is essential for the business.

Information and communication

The internal control system needs sufficient and reliable communication within the organisation. The Executive Board follow up on the achievement of the company's financial and other objectives in regular meetings. The Financial Administration is responsible for preparing monthly reports and regularly updating the financial forecast. The Group uses a common reporting system.

The company's guidelines and manuals are available to all employees on the Group's intranet. The Corporate Communications is responsible for the internal communication channels and for Comptel's external communications.

Monitoring

Monitoring refers to processes that are used to assess Comptel's system of internal control and its performance. Monitoring is performed both on an ongoing basis and through separate evaluations including quality audits, internal and external audits.

The quality audits are carried out by the company's internal quality organisation in accordance with the annual plan.

An internal audit is carried out according to the annual plan in which the auditing targets are defined. The actual audit is executed in chosen locations based on a prepared auditing plan. The audit focuses on the assessment of business operations, the implementation and realisation of financial and administrative processes in practice, and the compliance of good corporate governance. The audit also ensures the compliance of all permissions, reports and obligations.

Within Comptel Corporation, internal audits belong to the Financial Administration's responsibilities, and it is primarily carried out by the company's own personnel. Whenever necessary, external experts are used to complement the audit activities. The internal audit is reported to the Board of Directors' Audit Committee.

The external auditor verifies that the company's annual accounts are correct and monitors the company's quarterly reporting. In addition, the auditors report to the Board of Directors in an ongoing fashion regarding the administration and operations.
