On 19 December 2011,Elisa's Board of Directors decided on share-based incentive systems for the key personnel in the Elisa Group.
The Performance Share Plan, includes three performance periods, the calendar years of 2012–2014,2013–2015 and 2014–2016. The rewards equal at most the value of some 3.3 million shares in Elisa. The Board of Directors will decide on the Plan's performance criteria and their targets at the beginning of each performance period.
The Plan's potentialreward over the performance period of 2012–2014,2013–2015, and 2014–2016 is based on the increase in the Consumer Customer and Corporate Customer segments' new business revenues and on Elisa's earnings per share (EPS). In 2015,2016 and 2017 respectively, the reward will be paid partly in the company's shares and partly in cash. The portion payable in cash covers taxes and tax-like costs arising from the reward. No reward is paid if a key person's employment ends before the reward payment. The Plan's target group consists of about 160 persons and the rewards equal at most the value of some 1 million shares in Elisa for each year, including the portion payable in cash.
The Restricted StockPlan, covers the calendar years of 2012–2018. The lock-up period for the rewards paid through the Restricted StockPlan is about three years. The reward is paid only if a key person's employment is valid when the reward is due to be paid. The rewards to be paid through this stock plan equal at most the value of some 0.5 million shares in Elisa, including the portion payable in cash. So far,no decisions have been made on the basis of this Plan.
On 22December 2008,Elisa's Board of Directors decided on a share based incentive system for the key personnel in the Elisa Group. The system consisted of three earning periods: calendar years 2009,2010 and 2011. Bonuses have been paid earlier years and lockup period has ended at the end of 2013. More details are described in the parent company's financial statements.
The objective of the internal control and risk management systems associated with Elisa's financial reporting process is to obtain reasonable assurance that the company's financial statements and financial reporting are reliable, and that they have been prepared in compliance with the laws,regulations and generally accepted accounting principles, as well as with other regulations applicable to public listed companies. Internal control and risk management procedures are integrated into the company's operations and processes. Elisa's internal control can be described using the international COSOframework.
Elisa's control environment is based on the company's values,goal-oriented management, and on the described and monitored processes,practices,policies and guidelines. Elisa's financial administration is responsible for the internal controls offinancial reporting.
Annual business and strategy planning processes and target-setting, as well as rolling monthly financial forecasts,represent a key element in Elisa's business and performance management. Financialresults are assessed against the forecast, the annual plan, the previous year's results, and the strategic plan.
Targets are set for the Elisa Group and for each unit, and individual targets are specified in semi-annual appraisal based on the scorecard and performancebased bonus system. Individual targets and objectives are set in appraisals and target-setting discussions, and results and operations are assessed particularly from the value perspective.
Risk assessment is an integral part of Elisa's planning process. The purpose ofrisk assessment is to identify and analyze risks that could affect the achievement of specified targets, and to identify measures to reduce risks.
The key risks associated with the accuracy offinancial reporting have been identified in a process-specific risk analysis. Risk assessment also covers the risks related to misuse and resulting financial losses, as well as the misappropriation of the company's other assets.
Control measures consist of automatic and manual reconciliations, control and instructions integrated into the processes with the objective of ensuring the accuracy offinancialreporting and the management of the risks involved. The reporting control mechanism processes have been documented. Key control mechanisms also include information system access rights management, authorizations, and the controlled and tested implementation ofinformation system changes.
The financial development of business operations is constantly monitored on a unit basis. Financial management discusses any exceptional items and recognitions in its meetings and investigates the causes and reasons for any changes in the rolling monthly forecasts.
The objective of Elisa's external communications is to provide timely,equal, transparent and accurate information to all interest groups at the same time. Communications must comply with all the laws, regulations, instructions and other rules applicable to listed companies. Information is communicated through stock exchange and press releases, and on the company's website. Elisa's financial information may only be disclosed by the CEO, CFO, Investor Relations Director, and the Group Treasurer. Elisa has a silent period for the 2 weeks preceding the disclosure of financial performance information.
Key instructions,policies and procedures are available to the personnel in the company's intranet and in other shared media. Personnel are also informed of the key instructions and changes in various briefings,by e-mail and through everyday supervisory work. Training and guidance on how to comply with the rules and requirements are arranged as necessary. In addition, regular information and training are provided to the financial organization,particularly regarding any changes in accounting,reporting and disclosure requirements.
The Board of Directors'Audit Committee is tasked with supervising the proper organization of the company's accounting and financial administration, internal and financial auditing and risk management. The Board of Directors reviews and approves interim reports and financial statements bulletins in its regular meetings prior to publication. Elisa's Board of Directors and Executive Board monitor the Group's and the business units'results and performance on a monthly basis. Elisa's financial administration continuously assesses its own controls for functionality and sufficiency. In addition, Elisa's internal auditing function audits the reliability of financialreporting within the framework ofits annual audit plan.
Risk management is described in more detail under sections "Charter of the Board","the Audit Committee" and "Description of the key features of the internal control and risk management systems associated with the financialreporting process". The company classifies risks into strategic,operational,hazard and financial risks. The hazard risks are identified and insurance is taken out to deal with these risks. Elisa uses an external insurance broker to establish the probability of the risk and the value of the insurance.
The purpose ofinternal auditing is to assist the organization in achieving its goals by evaluating and investigating its functions and by monitoring compliance with corporate regulations. For this purpose, internal auditing produces analyses, assessments, recommendations and information for use by the
Board of Directors and company's senior management. Reports on completed audits are submitted to the CEO, the Board of Directors and the management of the unit audited, and to the Audit Committee, when necessary.
International internal auditing standards (IIA)form the foundation for internal auditing. Internal auditing is independent of the rest of the organization. The starting point for internal auditing is business management and the work is coordinated with the Auditors. An annual auditing plan and auditing report are presented to the Board of Directors'Audit Committee. Internal auditing may also carry out separately agreed audits on specific issues at the request of the Board of Directors and Elisa's Executive Board.
The auditors' principal duty is to ensure that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the valid regulations, so that the statements give a true and fair view of the company's performance and financial position, as well as other necessary information, to the company's stakeholders.
Other key goals are: to ensure that internal controls and risk management have been duly organized and the organization operates in compliance with instructions and within the framework ofissued authorizations. The mutual division oflabor between external and internal auditing is organized so that internal auditing will ensure that the organization operates in accordance with the company's internal guidelines.
The company had one external authorized auditing company in 2013. The auditing company must be duly authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce. The auditors' term of office is the current financial period for which they are appointed. The duties of the auditors end at the close of the first Annual General Meeting following the expiration of their term of office.
In the year under review,Elisa's auditor was KPMG Oy Ab, authorized public accountants, with Mr Esa Kailiala (APA) serving as principal auditor.
For the 2013 financial period, the auditing fees of the Finnish group companies totaled approximately EUR 260,000.00,of which the parent company accounted for EUR 180,000.00. The auditing fees for the foreign group companies were EUR 10,000.00.
The auditing firm has been paid fees of EUR 344,000.00 for services not associated with auditing. These services had to do with mergers and acquisitions, tax services, a review ofregulation accounting and other expert services. The fees include payments to a trainings provider Teleware, which is part of the KPMG Group. These payments totaled EUR 70,000.00 and related mainly to Elisa's actual operations.
Elisa has adopted the Insider Guidelines prepared by the Helsinki Stock Exchange, which entered into force on 9 October 2009.
In accordance with the Securities Markets Act,Elisa's public insiders include the members of Elisa's Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and the principal auditor for the company within the auditing firm. In addition to this, the public insiders also include the members of Elisa's Executive Board. Information concerning insiders as required by law is published in Elisa's public insiders register. This information also includes persons closely associated with the public insiders, i.e.related parties, and corporations which are controlled by the related parties or on which they exercise an influence. Information about the holdings of public insiders is available on Elisa's website at www.elisa.com.
Elisa also has a number of company-specific insiders consisting of other management and financial administration personnel. Project specific insiders have also been defined where necessary.
Elisa's LegalAffairs department monitors compliance with the insider regulations and maintains the company's insider registers together with Euroclear Finland Oy. Insider information is reviewed at least once a year. When trading in Elisa's securities,permanent insiders should consider its timing to ensure it will not weaken the trust of the general public in the securities markets. Permanent insiders are not allowed to trade in the company's securities during the 14 days preceding the publication of the company's interim report or annual accounts (=closed window). It is advisable for insiders to only make long-term investments in Elisa and conduct their trading within the 14 days following the publication of Elisa's financialresults. In addition, those involved in any insider projects must not trade in the company's securities during the project.
The Financial report has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The competitive environment has been keen during the year. Especially during the first half of the year, price campaigning was exceptionally strong. The mobile subscription base and the use of data services continued to evolve favourably. The mobile smartphone market is growing rapidly. Approximately 85 per cent of the mobile handsets sold are smartphones. This further increases the use of mobile data services. Another factor contributing to the mobile market growth has been the increased coverage of new 4G speeds. The number and usage of traditional fixed network subscriptions decreased.
The markets for new visual communications (e.g. videoconferencing), IT outsourcing and IPTV entertainment services have continued to develop favourably. The demand for other new consumer online services is also growing.

Lower mobile termination rates as well as the decrease in usage of traditional fixed telecom services in both segments affected revenue negatively, as did the decrease in mobile service revenue due to increased price competition in the first half of the year.
Reported EBITDA includes non-recurring items of EUR 17 million, which relates to personnel reductions. EBITDA excluding nonrecurring items grew by 1 per cent, mainly due to acquisitions and the cost efficiency measures. EBITDA was negatively affected by increased campaigning in mobile services in the first half of the year, and investment in ICT and online services' growth. EBIT excluding non-recurring items was at the previous year's level. Depreciations grew due to higher depreciation levels in the acquired companies.
Net financial income and expenses improved to EUR -26 (-30) million. A lowered interest rate after partial refinancing of EUR 300 million debt decreased net financial expenses. In 2012 the financial expenses included a non-recurring write-down of EUR 3 million from investments available for sale. Income taxes in the income statement amounted to EUR -58 (-60) million. Elisa's net profit was EUR 196 (209) million. The Group's earnings per share amounted to EUR 1.25 (1.33), and excluding non-recurring items EUR 1.33 (1.35).

On 24 April 2013, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) approved the transaction in which Elisa acquires the entire share capital of a company comprised of fixed-line operator PPO's Telecom and IT operations.

The fee for the license is EUR 33.3 million and it will be paid in 5 annual instalments in 2013–2017. The license is valid from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2033.

Risk management is part of Elisa's internal control system. It aims to ensure that risks affecting the company's business are identified, influenced and monitored. The company classifies risks into strategic, operational, hazard and financial risks.
The telecommunications industry is under intense competition in Elisa's main market areas, which may have an impact on Elisa's business. The telecommunications industry is subject to heavy regulation. Elisa and its businesses are monitored and regulated by several public authorities. This regulation also affects the price level of some products and services offered by Elisa. Regulation may also require investments which have long payback times.
The rapid developments in telecommunications technology may have a significant impact on Elisa's business.
Elisa's main market is Finland, where the number of mobile phones per inhabitant is among the highest in the world, and growth in subscriptions is thus limited. Furthermore, the volume of phone traffic on Elisa's fixed network has decreased during the last years. These factors may limit opportunities for growth.
The company's core operations are covered by insurance against damage and interruptions caused by accidents and disasters. Accident risks also include litigation and claims.
In order to manage the interest rate risk, the Group's loans and investments are diversified in fixed- and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps can be used to manage the interest rate risk.
As most of Elisa's operations and cash flow are denominated in euros, the exchange rate risk is minor.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group's financing in all circumstances. Elisa has cash reserves, committed credit facilities and a sustainable cash flow to cover its foreseeable financing needs.
Liquid assets are invested within confirmed limits to financially solid banks, domestic companies and institutions. Credit risk concentrations in accounts receivable are minor as the customer base is wide.
A detailed description of financial risk management can be found in Note 34 of the consolidated financial statement.

The macroeconomic environment in Finland is still expected to be weak in 2014. Competition in the Finnish telecommunications market also remains challenging.
Full year revenue is estimated to be at the same level or slightly higher than in 2013. Mobile data, ICT and new online services as well as completed acquisitions are expected to increase revenue. Full-year EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, is anticipated to be at the same level as in 2013 or slightly higher. Full-year capital expenditure is expected to be maximum 12 per cent of revenue.

Elisa Corporation ("Elisa" or "the Group") engages in telecommunications activities, providing data communications services in Finland and in selected international market areas. The parent company of the Group is Elisa Corporation ("the parent") with domicile in Helsinki, and its registered address is Ratavartijankatu 5. The shares of the parent company, Elisa Corporation, have been listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki since 1999.
On 6 February 2014 Elisa's Board of Directors has accepted this financial statement to be published. A copy of the consolidated financial statements is available from Elisa's head office at Ratavartijankatu 5, Helsinki, or on the company's website www.elisa.com.
Elisa's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards including adherence with IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid as at 31 December 2013. The International Financial Reporting Standards refer to standards and interpretations that have been approved for application in the EU in the Finnish Accounting Act and the provisions issued pursuant to it according to the procedures provided for in EU regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 ("IFRS").
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets availablefor-sale, financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss, share-based payments and derivatives. The financial statements are presented in EUR million and the figures are rounded to one decimal place.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the application of judgment by the Group management in making estimates and decisions. Information on decisions requiring management judgment on the application of appropriate accounting principles that have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements are presented in the Accounting principles under "The accounting policies that require management's judgments and sources of estimation uncertainty".
As a result of the adoption of the amended IAS 19 Employee Benefits -standard, actuarial gains and losses are recorded directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the net defined benefit pension liability is recognised on the statement of financial position. The impact of the adoption on 31 December 2012 was a reduction of EUR 6.5 million in group equity and an increase of post-employee liabilities of EUR 5.9 million. The reduction in the Group's total comprehensive income in 2012 was EUR 4.5 million. The comparative financial information for 2012 has been revised in accordance with the amended accounting standard.
As a result of amended IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements other comprehensive income for the period is grouped into those that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and that can be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement impacts on the notes to the consolidated financial statements. These changes do not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
The Annual Improvements of IFRS standards adopted as of 1 January 2013 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statement.
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, Elisa Corporation, and those subsidiaries in which the parent company has, directly or indirectly, more than 50 per cent of voting rights or over which the parent company otherwise exercises control. Even though the entity had less than 50 per cent of the voting rights, control over an entity is presumed to exist when the Group has through an agreement the right to more than 50 per cent of the voting rights, the Group has the power to govern the operating and financial policies of the entity, the Group has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of the entity which exercises control in the Group or has the right to use majority vote in the board of the entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition. Similarly, divested companies are consolidated until the date of disposal. The acquisition method is used in the accounting for the elimination of internal ownership. All intra-group transactions, gain on the sale of inventories and fixed assets, intra-group receivables, payables and dividends are eliminated.
Changes in the parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for equity transactions. As at the date when control is lost, any investment retained in the former subsidiary is recognised at fair value and the difference is recorded through profit or loss. Identifiable assets acquired and assumed liabilities are measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Changes in the contingent consideration and acquisition-related expenses are recognised as an expense in the income statement. In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. A gain resulting from a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss.
Non-controlling interests are measured either at the amount which equals the non-controlling interests' proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets or at fair value. The method to be used is selected on a case-by-case basis. Changes in non-controlling interests are recognised in retained earnings.
Profit for the period attributable to the equity holders of the parent and non-controlling interests is presented separately in the consolidated income statement. Non-controlling interests are presented separately from the equity of the owners of the parent in the consolidated statement of financial position. Losses exceeding the share of ownership are allocated to non-controlling interests.
Associated companies are entities over which the Group exercises significant influence. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group owns over 20 per cent of the voting rights of the company or when the Group otherwise exercises significant influence but does nor exercise control. Associated companies are consolidated in accordance with the equity method of accounting. If the Group's share of losses of an associate exceeds its interest in the associate, the investment is recognised on the balance sheet at zero value and the group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless the Group has other obligations for the associated company. Associated companies are consolidated from the date the company becomes an associate and divested companies are consolidated until the date of disposal.
Joint ventures are companies over which the Group exercises joint control with other parties. Assets under joint control are consolidated using the proportional consolidation method. The Group applies the method to the consolidation of mutual real estate companies.
The consolidated financial statements have been presented in euro, which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent company.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary items have been translated into the functional currency using the rates of exchange as at the year-end and non-monetary items using the rates of exchange at the dates of transactions, excluding items measured at fair value, which have been translated using the rates of exchange on the date of valuation. Gains and losses arising from the translation are recognised in the profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses from operations are included within the corresponding items above EBIT. Foreign exchange gains and losses from loans denominated in a foreign currency are included within financial income and expenses.
The income statements of foreign Group companies are translated into euro using the weighted average rate of exchange of the financial year and the statements of financial position using the rates of exchange as at the year-end. Differences resulting from the translation of the result for the period at a different rate on the income statement and on the statement of financial position are recognised in other comprehensive income as translation differences within consolidated shareholders' equity.
Revenue includes normal sales income from business operations deducted by taxes related to sales and discounts granted. Sales are recognised once the service has been rendered to the customer or once the significant risks and rewards related to the ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer. Service revenue is recognised when it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the Group and when the income and costs associated with the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue and expenses related to long-term projects are recognised on the basis of the percentage of completion when the final outcome of the project can be estimated reliably. The percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of hours worked to the estimated total number of hours of work. When it is likely that total costs to complete the project will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
The Group revenue consists mainly of income from voice and data traffic, periodic fees, opening fees and maintenance fees, as well as income from equipment sales. Sales are recognised as revenue once the service has been rendered either on the basis of realised traffic volumes or the validity of a contract. Opening fees are recognised at the time of connection. Revenues from prepaid mobile phone cards are recognised over the period of estimated use of the cards. Service fees invoiced from a customer on behalf of a thirdparty content service provider are not recognised as revenue.
A service contract may include the delivery or rendering of a product and a service or access right (service bundle). The share of revenue attributable to the product is recognised separately from the service revenue.
Long-term service contracts covering a wide range of communications services for corporate customers are recognised over the term of the contract. Customers are usually not entitled to redeem the equipment at the end of the service period.
Customers belonging to loyalty programmes are entitled to certain discounts on services and products provided by the Group. Discounts earned by customers are recognised as reduction of revenue. The Group does not currently have any valid loyalty programmes.
Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") stands for revenue and other operating income deducted by operating expenses (materials and services adjusted by change in inventories, employee expenses and other operating expenses), depreciation and amortisation.
The tax expense in the income statement comprises current tax and deferred tax. Income taxes for the financial year are calculated from taxable profit with reference to a valid tax rate and are adjusted by possible previous years' taxes.
Deferred taxes are calculated from all temporary differences arising between tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Principal temporary differences arise from tax losses carried forward, depreciation difference and between the fair value and tax base of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Deferred tax is not recognised on goodwill impairment that is not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised on non-distributable profits of subsidiaries insofar as there is no profit distribution decision in the foreseeable future. No deferred tax is recognised on valuation differences of shares for which gain on sale would be tax-deductible.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet in total.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method, and dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Goodwill arising from business combinations prior to 2004, is accounted for in accordance with the previous financial statements regulations and that book value is the assumed IFRS acquisition cost. Business combinations incurring between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2009 have been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 (2004). Goodwill arising from business combinations incurring after 1 January 2010 represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and the amount of non-controlling interest and in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the equity interest.
Goodwill is not amortised. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGU's) including Consumer Customers and Corporate Customers. Goodwill is carried at its cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Research costs are recorded as an expense in the income statement. Development expenses are recognised on the statement of financial position from the date the product is technically feasible, it can be utilised commercially and future economic benefit is expected from the product. Otherwise development costs are recorded as an expense. Development costs initially recognised as expenses are not capitalised at a later date.
An intangible asset is recognised only if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs related to intangible assets are capitalised only if the future economic benefits that will flow to the Group exceed the level of performance originally assessed. In other cases, the costs are recognised as an expense as incurred.
In connection with business combinations, intangible assets (such as customer base and brand) are measured at fair value. Other intangible assets are measured at original acquisition cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.
| Customer base | 4–5 years |
|---|---|
| Brand | 10 years |
| Development expenses | 3 years |
| IT software | 5 years |
| Other intangible assets | 5–10 years |
Property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful lives. The residual value and the useful life of an asset is reviewed at the year-end and adjusted as necessary.
Subsequent costs, such as renewals and major renovation projects, are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group. Ordinary repair, service and maintenance costs are charged to expense during the financial period in which they are incurred.
| Buildings and constructions | 25–40 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment in buildings | 10–25 years |
| Telecommunications network (line, backbone, area, | |
| subscription, cable TV) | 8–15 years |
| Exchanges and concentrators (fixed and mobile core) | 6–10 years |
| Equipment for the network and exchanges | 3–8 years |
| Telecommunication terminals | 1–4 years |
| Other machinery and equipment | 3–5 years |
Land areas are not depreciated.
Government grants related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of property, plant and equipment. The grants are recognised in income as lower depreciation charges over the useful life of the asset.
Government grants associated with development projects are recognised as other operating income when the related costs are recognised as expenses. Government grants associated with capitalised development costs are recorded as a reduction of cost.
The Group classifies its financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and financial assets available-for-sale. The classification of financial assets takes place at initial recognition and depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date. Financial assets are derecognised once the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expires or once it has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset outside the Group.
Financial assets recognised at fair value through profit or loss are included in current assets. This category includes money market funds and commercial paper. Investments in money market funds consist of funds that make investments in high-quality eurodenominated fixed income securities issued by enterprises and public corporations operating in the European Economic Area. Commercial paper consists of debt securities issued by Finnish companies with a good credit rating. Both realised and unrealised gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss during the financial period in which they incur.
Derivatives are recognised at cost as financial assets or liabilities on the date of acquisition and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The changes in fair value are immediately recognised within financial items in income statement. The fair value of derivatives is expected to approximate the quoted market price or, if this is not available, fair value is estimated using commonly used valuation methods. The Group does not apply hedge accounting.
Loans and receivables are valued at amortised cost and are included either in current financial assets, or in non-current financial assets if they fall due within more than 12 months. In addition to loan receivables, this category includes trade receivables and other receivables. Trade receivables are recognised at the original invoiced amount. The Group recognises an impairment loss on trade receivables if payment is delayed by more than 90 days or if a sales receivable is considered as finally lost. To the extent that trade receivables are sold, the impairment loss is reduced.
Financial assets available-for-sale are included in non-current assets. Equity investments, excluding investments in associated companies and mutual real estate companies, are classified as financial assets available-for-sale and are generally measured at fair value. Values of equities that cannot be measured reliably are reported at cost less impairment. Fair values of financial assets available-for-sale are measured either on the basis of the value of comparable companies, the discounted cash flow method or by using quoted market rates. Changes in the fair value of equity investments are recognized within other comprehensive income. When the equity investment is sold, accumulated changes in fair value are released from shareholders' equity and recognised in profit or loss.
Items measured at fair value are categorized using the three-level value hierarchy. Level 1 includes instruments with quoted prices in active markets. Listed shares owned by the Group are categorised at level 1. Level 2 includes instruments with observable prices based on market data. The Group's interest rate swaps and currency swaps are categorised at level 2. Level 3 includes instruments with prices that are not based on verifiable market data but instead on the company's internal information, for example. The contingent consideration relating to business combinations are categorised at level 3. See Note 17.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand, short-term bank deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with maturity less than 3 months.
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value equaling the net proceeds received. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost by using the effective interest method. Transaction costs are included within the cost of financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recorded within non-current and current liabilities and they may be non-interest or interestbearing.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is assessed. Regardless of any existence of impairment indications, the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible assets under construction is also annually assessed. The Group does not have any intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The need for impairment is assessed at the level of cash-generating units.
Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset item or a cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. If an impairment loss is allocated to a cash-generating unit, it is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss is reversed if there are indications that a change in circumstances has taken place and the asset's recoverable amount has changed since the impairment loss was recognised. However, the reversal of an impairment loss will never exceed the carrying amount of the asset had no impairment loss been recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is never reversed under any circumstances.
Inventories are stated at the cost of an acquisition or at the net realisable value if lower that the cost. The cost is determined using a weighted average price.
Elisa shares owned by the parent company (treasury shares) are reported as deduction from equity.
A provision is recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and their existence is confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent liabilities also include present obligations that arise from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations or the amount of the obligations cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position.
Pensions are classified as either defined contribution or defined benefit plans. In a defined contribution plan, the Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund is unable to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service. The premiums for defined contribution pension plans are recognised as expenses during the financial year in which they incur. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan.
Groups' defined benefit obligation has been calculated separately from each plan by using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Pension expenses calculated by authorised actuaries are recognised in profit or loss over the employees' working lives. The rate used to discount the present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds and if it is not available, the market yields on government bonds are used. The maturity of the corporate bonds and government bonds are substantially consistent with the maturity of the pension obligation. The present value of defined benefit obligation is reduced by the fair value of the plan assets at the end of the reporting period. The net defined benefit pension liability is recognised on the statement of financial position.
Current service cost and net interest of the net defined benefit liability are recorded in employee expenses in the income statement. The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, for example actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, are recognised in other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they incur.
The impacts of the adoption of the revised IAS 19 have been presented in Applied new and revised standards and interpretations.
All employees are included in a performance, incentive or commission -based bonus scheme. The Group also has a personnel fund. The costs for the performance-based bonus scheme and personnel fund are recognised on accrual basis and the costs are based on the best available estimate of realised amounts.
The aim of the Group's share-based incentive plans is the long-term commitment of top management to the improvement of the company's value. The amount of the award to be paid is tied to the accomplishment of the related targets. Share-based incentive plans are measured at fair value at the date of grant and are charged to the income statement as follows: the cash portion of the reward is allocated until the end of the month preceding the month of the actual payment and the share portion of the reward is allocated over the commitment period. The proportion settled in shares is recognised in equity, while the proportion settled in cash is recognised as a liability. If the assumption regarding the realised number of shares changes, an adjustment is recorded through profit and loss. The fair value of the portion settled in cash shall be reassessed at the end of each financial period until the end of the month preceding the month during which the reward is paid. Transfer restrictions related to the scheme are not taken into account in fair valuation or expense recognition. The plans do not involve any other non-market based terms and conditions.
On 18 December 2007, Elisa's Board of Directors decided to grant stock options to the Group's key employees and a fully-owned subsidiary of Elisa Corporation, Fonetic Oy. Stock options are measured at fair value at the date of grant and charged to the income statement over the period between the date of grant and the beginning of exercise period. The expense determined at the date of grant is based on the Group's assessment of the number of options that are expected to vest at the end of the vesting period. The fair value of options is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Estimates of the final number of options are updated at the end of each financial period, and the changes in these estimates are recognised in profit or loss. When options are exercised, payments received for share subscriptions net of transaction costs are recognised in the reserve for invested non-restricted equity in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan.
Leases in which the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases of tangible assets, in which the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership, are classified as finance leases. Assets acquired on finance leases are recognised in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the lease period at the lower of fair value of the leased asset or the present value of future minimum lease payments. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of useful life of the asset or the lease period. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between financial expenses and the reduction of the outstanding liability over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance lease liabilities are recognised in interest-bearing liabilities. The Group has primarily leased telecommunications networks and facilities, IT servers, videoconference equipments and infrastructure under finance leases.
The Group acts as a lessor in two different types of lease arrangements that are accounted for operating leases: telecom premises and carrier services. Rental income from such leases is recognised as revenue over the lease period. Rental income from real estate leases is recorded in other operating income over the lease period.
The Group acts as a lessor in lease arrangements for video conferencing equipment that are accounted for as a finance lease. At the time of sale of the equipment, the proceeds are recorded as revenue and a receivable at a present value. Rental income is recorded as financial income and as a reduction of receivable over the lease period reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment.
The preparation of financial statements requires the application of judgment in making estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions made. In addition, the application of the accounting principles also requires the application of judgment. The estimates are based on the management's best view at the end of the financial period. Any changes in estimates and assumptions are recognised in the financial year during which the estimate or assumption is adjusted as well as in all subsequent periods.
Goodwill and intangible assets under construction are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The recoverable amount of cash-generating units is determined by calculations based on value in use, the preparation of which requires estimates and assumptions. The main uncertainties are associated with the estimated level of revenue and profitability and the discount rate. Any changes may lead to the recognition of impairment losses. The carrying value of goodwill is EUR 832.4 million at 31 December 2013. See Note 15.
The expense recognition for the share-based incentive plans is based on an estimate of the fulfillment of the share incentive plan criteria and the development of Elisa share price. The fulfillment of the share incentive plan criteria and the development of the share price might deviate from the estimates. Share-based compensation expenses were EUR 6.2 million in 2013 and the liability relating to share-based incentive plans as at 31 December 2013 was EUR 5.0 million. See Note 27.
The measurement and allocation of income and expenses to the appropriate financial period is partially based on estimates from past experience.
Particularly as at the end of each financial period, the Group assesses the probability of subsidiaries generating taxable income against which unused tax losses can be utilised. The appropriateness for recognising other deferred tax assets is also determined as at the end of each financial period. Changes in the estimates may lead to the recognition of significant tax expenses. As at 31 December 2013, the Group has EUR 13.5 million deferred tax receivables.

2) Includes IT software for a book value of EUR 57.1 (59.0) million and brand for a book value of EUR 7.9 (12.2) million. Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash generating units as follows:
| EUR million | 2013 | 2012 |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer Customers | 503.7 | 480.2 |
| Corporate Customers | 328.7 | 316.9 |
| 832.4 | 797.1 |
The reported operating segments based on the Elisa organisational and management structure are Consumer Customers and Corporate Customers. Furthermore, the operating segments are the lowest level at which the company management monitors the goodwill.
The Group does not have any other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
In impairment tests the recoverable amount of the segments is determined based on the value in use, which is calculated on the basis of projected discounted cash flows (DCF model). The cash flows projections are based on plans approved by the management covering a 5-year period. The projections are mostly consistent with information from external sources and reflect actual development. The discount rate used is from 7.91 per cent to 7.92 per cent depending on the segment. Cash flows after 5 years have been projected by estimating the change in future cash flows as zero. As a result of the performed impairment tests, there is no need for impairment of the segments' goodwill. Use of the DCF model requires forecasts and assumptions concerning market growth, prices, volume development, investment needs and general interest rate. The major sensitivities in the performance are associated with the forecast revenue and profitability levels.

Level 3 includes contingent considerations relating to business combinations. Changes in the fair value of contingent considerations are recognised in other operating expenses.

The Group had EUR 43.7 (2.4) million of unused tax losses at 31 December 2013, for which no tax receivable has been recognised. These losses expire in 2014–2022. The change compared to year 2012 results mainly from the acquisition of Sulake Corporation Oy. No tax liability has been recognised for the untaxed retained earnings EUR 145.8 million of the Estonian subsidiary as no profit distribution decision or plans for profit distribution exist for the time being.
During 2013, the Finnish corporation tax rate changed from 24.5 per cent to 20.0 per cent. The change was enacted 17 December 2013 and it became effective from 1 January 2014. As a result the deferred tax balances were remeasured for the financial statement 2013.
Deferred tax liabilities and receivables are not offset.

On 19 December 2011, Elisa's Board of Directors decided on the implementation of 2 new share-based incentive plans.
The first performance-based share incentive plan has 3 vesting periods: calendar years 2012–2014, 2013–2015 and 2014–2016. The maximum award of the plan equals the value of 3,315,000 Elisa shares. The Board of Directors decides the earnings criteria and the targets separately for each plan in the beginning of the vesting period. After the end of each vesting period, the award is paid as a combination of company shares and cash within 1 month following the completion of financial statements. If the contract of employment is terminated before the payment of the award, no award shall be paid.
The earnings criteria for the 2012–2014 plan are based on revenue growth of new business operations and earnings per share. The number of key personnel participating in the 2012–2014 plan is 160 and the award equals the value of 983,000 Elisa shares.
The earnings criteria for the 2013–2015 plan are based on revenue growth of new business operations and earnings per share. The number of key personnel participating in the 2013–2015 plan is 157 and the award equals the value of 983,500 Elisa shares.
The earnings criteria for the 2014–2016 plan are based on revenue growth of new business operations and earnings per share. The number of key personnel participating in the 2014–2016 plan is 154 and the award equals the value of 996,500 Elisa shares.
The other share incentive plan covers calendar years 2012–2018. The awards granted under the plan have a vesting period of approximately 3 years. The pontential award is based on the validity of the key personnel contract of employment. The maximum amount of awards paid under the plan equal the value of 500,000 Elisa shares. Resolutions relating to this plan have not yet been made.
On 18 December 2008, Elisa's Board of Directors decided on the implementation of a share-based incentive plan. Under the plan, members of key management are eligible to receive Elisa shares as a reward for their performance over 3 calendar year long earnings periods. The earning periods are calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The share-based payments of years 2009, 2010 and 2011 have ended.
The Board of Directors decided the earnings criteria and the targets separately for each earnings period. The amount of the award to be paid under the share-based incentive plan was tied to the accomplishment of the related targets. After the end of each vesting period, the award was paid as a combination of company shares and cash within 1 month following the completion of financial statements. The maximum award of the plan was 1,100,000 shares from which 408,619 shares were transferred. 9,632 from the transferred shares were returned. The maximum amount of the award equals the value of 2,200,000 Elisa shares.
The reward for the 2011 share-based incentive plan was determined on the basis of the development of earnings per share and revenue in 2011. The total award amounted to EUR 5.6 million, of which EUR 2.9 million was paid in cash. In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, Elisa transferred 152,503 shares to 159 persons covered by the incentive scheme on 1 March 2012, of which 44,345 shares were transferred to members of the Management Board and 13,645 shares were transferred to the CEO. 3,832 of the transferred shares were returned to the company during 2012 and 1,526 shares were returned during 2013.
The reward for the 2010 share-based incentive plan was determined on the basis of the development of earnings per share and revenue in 2010. The total award amounted to EUR 3.5 million, of which EUR 1.8 million was paid in cash. In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, Elisa transferred 99,483 shares to 48 persons covered by the incentive scheme on 1 March 2011, of which 37,648 shares were transferred to members of the Management Board and 4,408 shares were transferred to the CEO. 252 of the transferred shares were returned to the company during 2011 and 1,512 shares were returned during 2012.
The reward for the 2009 share incentive plan was determined on the basis of the development of earnings per share and revenue in 2009. The total reward amounted to EUR 5.1 million, of which EUR 2.7 million was paid in cash. In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, Elisa transferred 156,633 shares to 47 persons covered by the incentive scheme on 1 March 2010, of which 52,715 shares were transferred to members of the Management Board and 20,083 shares were transferred to the CEO. 2,510 of the transferred shares were returned to the company on 1 June 2010.
If the contract of employment is terminated before the payment of the award, no award shall be paid. The CEO must hold one-half of the shares received under the plan for as long as he serves as the CEO. Others must hold all shares received under the plan for one year and two-thirds of the shares for two years after the end of each vesting period. The award is to be returned if the contract of employment is terminated or cancelled during the restriction period by the company or the employee.
Expenses recognised for share incentive plan was EUR 6.2 (6.4) million in 2013.

2) The estimated realisation of share price is calculated using the CAP model (Capital Asset Pricing Model). The basic variables in the model are interest rate level, general risk premium and the so-called beta risk on the Elisa share. The assumed dividend is the previous period dividend.
On 18 December 2007, Elisa's Board of Directors decided to issue stock options to the Group's key employees and a fully-owned subsidiary of the company. The stock option scheme is targeted at approximately 150 key employees who are not included in the share-based incentive plan for senior management. The stock options are granted without consideration. No new option rights are granted from the stock option plan.
The stock options entitle to the subscription of a total of 2,550,000 new shares or treasury shares. The options are divided into options 2007A, 2007B and 2007C, 850,000 in each series. Based on the stock-options 1,198,074 shares were subscribed.

Elisa calculates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model at the date of grant. The fair value is recognised as personnel expenses over the vesting period. Grant date is the date on which the recipient confirms in writing the acceptance of the stock options. No expenses were recognised for the stock option plan during 2012 and 2013.
Pension schemes for Elisa's personnel in Finland are arranged through pension insurance companies for statutory pension insurance (TyEL) and through life insurance company for supplementary pension cover. The Finnish TyEL system is a defined contribution plan. Some supplementary pension plans and pension plans under the responsibility of Elisa have been classified as defined benefit plans. Only Elisa Corporation has defined benefit plans.
The pension plans of foreign subsidiaries are defined contribution plans.

When calculating a change in one assumption of the sensitivity analysis, the other assumptions are assumed to remain unchanged. In practice, this is not likely to happen and some changes in the assumptions may correlate with each other. The figures in the sensitivity analysis have been calculated by using the same method which is applied when calculating defined benefit obligation.
Defined benefit obligations expose the Group to various risks. Decreases in the gain of corporate bonds, higher inflation and higher expected retirement may predispose the Group to the growth of defined benefit obligation. On the other hand, since the fair value of assets is calculated using the same discount rate which is used while calculating the obligation, the change in the discount rate will affect only the net defined benefit obligation. Similarly, rise in life expectancy will increase the assets and affect the net defined benefit obligation.
Weighted average duration of the obligation is 15.9 years.
The Group expects to contribute EUR 1.5 (1.0) million to defined benefit pension plans in 2014.
The defined benefit assets exist in a life insurance company and the distribution of assets measured at fair value is not available.

As a part of the Group's rationalisation Elisa has carried out statutory employee negotiations leading to personnel reductions in 2013. The restructuring provision includes provisions for both unemployment pensions and other expenses due to redundancies. The provisions associated with redundancies will be realised in 2014, and the provision associated with unemployment pensions will be realised in 2014–2015.
Other provisions include an environmental provision made for telephone poles and warranty provisions recognised in the acquisition of PPO-Yhtiöt Oy, of which EUR 5.8 million has been used in 2013.

Interest bearing liabilities include a total of EUR 35.2 (37.2) million of secured liabilities (finance lease liabilities). In substance the finance lease liabilities are secured liabilities, since rights to the leased property will revert to the lessor if payments are neglected.
Both the loans from pension funds and the capital loans came to the group from the acquisition of PPO Yhtiöt Oy. The loans from pension funds are from Kotkan Puhelinyhdistyksen Eläkesäätiö.
All financial liabilities are denominated in euros. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. The fair values of financial liabilities are based on quoted market prices or have been calculated by discounting the related cash flow by the market rate of interest on the balance sheet date.
The average maturity of non-current liabilities was 5.6 (4.6) years and effective average rate of interest 2.5 (2.8) per cent.

Elisa Corporation's centralised financing function is responsible for exchange rate, interest rate, liquidity, and refinancing risks for the entire Group. The principles of financing policy, such as funding and investment principles, are annually discussed and ratified by the Committee for Auditing of the Board of Directors. Funding risks are monitored as a part of the regular business monitoring procedure.
Elisa is exposed to interest rate risk mainly through its financial liabilities. In order to manage interest rate risk, the Group's borrowing and investments are diversified in fixed- and variable-rate instruments. Derivative financial instruments may also be used in managing interest rate risk. The aim is to hedge the negative effects caused by changes in the interest rate level. Hedge accounting is not applied to the derivatives.

Most of Elisa Group's cash flows are denominated in euro, which means that the company's exposure to exchange rate risk (economic risk and transaction risk) is minor. Exchange rate risks associated with business arise from international interconnection traffic and, to a minor extent, acquisitions. The most important currencies are the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights (SDR), the US dollar (USD) and the Swedish krona (SEK), the impact of other currencies is not material. No exchange rate hedging was used during the period. The company's financial liabilities do not involve exchange rate risk.
The translation difference exposure for foreign subsidiaries included in consolidated equity is minor. The translation difference exposure has not been hedged during the period.

The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group's financing in all circumstances. The company's most important financing arrangement is an EMTN programme of EUR 1,000 million, under which bonds have been issued for EUR 761.7 million. The company also has a EUR 250 million commercial paper programme and committed revolving credit facility of EUR 300 million. Both the EUR 170 million revolving credit facility valid until 3 June 2018 and the EUR 130 million revolving credit facility valid until 21 November 2014 were undrawn as of 31 December 2013. The margin of the limits is determined by the Groups' credit rating.
As part of ensuring its financing, Elisa has acquired international credit ratings. Moody's Investor Services have rated Elisa's long-term commitments as Baa2 (outlook stable). Standard & Poor's has rated the company's long-term commitments as BBB (outlook stable) and short-term commitments as A-2.

Contract-based cash flows for financial liabilities are presented under Note 30.
Financial instruments contain an element of risk of the respective parties failing to fulfil their obligations. Liquid assets are invested within confirmed limits to investment targets with a good credit rating. Investments and the limits specified for them are reviewed annually, or more often if necessary. Derivative contracts are only signed with Finnish and foreign banks with good credit ratings.
The business units are liable for credit risk associated with accounts receivable. The units have credit policies prepared in writing that are mainly consistent with uniform principles. The credit ratings of new customers are reviewed from external sources always when selling products or services invoiced in arrears. In case of additional sales to existing customers, creditworthiness is reviewed on the basis of the company's own accounts. The Group may also collect advance or guarantee payments in accordance with its credit policy.
Credit risk concentrations in accounts receivable are minor as the Group's customer base is wide; the 10 largest customers represent approximately 5 per cent of customer invoicing. EUR 7.1 (7.6) million of uncertain receivables have been deducted from consolidated accounts receivable. The Group's previous experience in the collection of trade receivables corresponds to the recognised impairment. Furthermore the Group sells the trade receivables of defined customergroups that are overdue by an average of 136 days. Based on these facts, the management is confident that the Group's trade receivables do not involve any substantial credit risk. The maximum credit risk as at 31 December 2013 is the value of trade receivables EUR 283.8 million. The age distribution of trade receivables is described in Note 23.
Elisa's financial assets available-for-sale consist mostly of publicly listed shares in Comptel Corporation. The sensitivity analysis includes shares at the balance sheet date. The analysis assumes a change of 20 percentage points in the share price.

Elisa Corporation's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles based on Finnish accounting legislation.
The following should be considered when comparing current period with previous period figures:
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of transactions. As at the year-end assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are valued at the average rate quoted by the European Central Bank as at year-end.
The carrying value of intangible and tangible assets is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairments. Internally generated fixed assets are measured at variable costs.
The difference between depreciation according to plan and total depreciation presented is under appropriations in the parent company's income statement and the accumulated depreciation difference is presented under accumulated appropriations in the shareholders' equity and liabilities in the balance sheet. The negative depreciation difference transferred from merged companies is recognised as income. Depreciation according to plan is recognised on a straight-line basis over the useful lives from the original acquisition cost.
The useful lives according to plan for the different asset groups are:
| Intangible rights | 3–5 years |
|---|---|
| Other expenditure with long-term effects | 5–10 years |
| Buildings and constructions | 25–40 years |
| Machinery and equipment in buildings | 10–25 years |
| Telephone exchanges | 6–10 years |
| Cable network | 8–15 years |
| Telecommunication terminals | 1–4 years |
| Other machines and equipment | 3–5 years |
Inventories are stated at the lowest of variable costs, acquisition price or the likely disposal, or repurchase price. Cost is determined using a weighted average price.
Investments in money market funds are recognized at the repurchase price. Investments in certificates of deposit and commercial paper are recognised at the acquisition cost, as the difference between the repurchase price and cost of acquisition is not significant.
Sales are recognised as income at the time of transfer and income from services is recognised once the services have been rendered.
Interconnection fees that are invoiced from the customer and paid as such to other telephone companies are presented as a deduction item under sales income (Finnish Accounting Standards Board 1995/1325).
The profit from the sales of business operations, shares and fixed assets, subsidies received and rental income from premises are presented under other operating income.
Research costs are charged to expense on the income statement. Product development expenses are recognised in the balance sheet from the date the product is technically feasible, it can be utilised commercially and future financial benefit is expected from the product. In other cases, development costs are recorded as an expense. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not capitalised later.
Government grants for product development projects and the like are recognised under other operating income when the product development costs are recognised as annual expenses. If a government grant is associated with capitalised product development costs, the grant reduces the capitalised acquisition cost.
Probable future expenses and losses related to the current or a prior financial period without a corresponding income are recognised in the income statement. Such items are recognised in the balance sheet under provisions if a reliable estimate of the amount or timing of the obligation cannot be made. Otherwise the obligation is recognised within accruals.
Extraordinary items include gains and losses related to Group contributions and mergers.
Income taxes for the financial year are recognised in the income statement. No deferred tax liabilities and receivables have been recognised in the financial statements.

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Elisa Corporation for the year ended 31 December 2013. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.
The Board of Directors and the 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.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statement 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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.
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.
