Dear Shareholder,
T he 2009 fi nancial year was a time of opposites for Etteplan. On the one hand, we were able to strengthen our market share with a number of customers and maintain a positive cash fl ow in our business operations. On the other hand, the intense decline in the global economy and uncertainty in the fi nancial markets reduced the demand for our customers' products. Demand for design services fell considerably, and a particularly strong decline in demand was experienced in automotive industry clientele in Sweden.
As demand began to fall early in 2009, we launched immediate measures to adjust our design capacity to the prevailing market situation. In Finland, the majority of the reductions in design capacity were accomplished through temporary layoffs. The current labor market legislation in Sweden is strict, which forced us to implement permanent layoffs in order to adjust our capacity to the marketplace.
The automotive industry in Sweden was driven into a crisis, which meant a sudden lack of demand for us. Furthermore, automotive-industry customers demanded signifi cant discounts in service prices and relaxing of payment terms. We carried out a specifi c review of business potential in the automotive industry, and, as a consequence, the company's Board of Directors decided to withdraw from basic design engineering in that industry. We implemented this decision by selling a majority holding of Etteplan Tech AB to the company's management in September 2009.
The rearrangement of the operations in Sweden and the adjustment of capacity had signifi cant effects on costs, which led to a decline in the profi tability and balance sheet of our company. The Etteplan Board of Directors decided to strengthen the company's capital structure by issuing a hybrid loan worth EUR 10 million. The loan received a positive response in the market and was subscribed to in full. It was a delight to see that investors have faith in the company.
Our projects to cut costs and reduce net working capital were successful. Our company's full-year cash fl ow was positive and, after investments, even better than in 2008. Considering the circumstances, we had a resounding success in the way we managed our cash fl ow.
We fi ne-tuned our company's strategy in late fall. Value promise "Smart way to smart products" crystallizes our company's promise – we have a smart way of designing smart products for our customers. The "smart way" describes our cost-effi cient operational services, and smart machinery and equipment are generated as a result of our expertise services. In accordance with Etteplan's updated strategy, the company's service offering was divided into two service entities: operational services and expertise services. The company further developed its service structure in early 2010 by setting up a third new service unit, called Etteplan Enterprise Solutions, which focuses on selected global key customers.
The business environment of our customers has changed rapidly. Increasing competition and shifting of the focus in demand to Asia in many sectors have led, at an accelerating rate, to more decisions by our customers to renew their production structures and operating methods. Etteplan's customers acknowledge the company's services today as enablers of the renewal of their operating methods. Etteplan has new product solutions for these changed needs and an effective way of producing technical design and product information in Asia.
We are preparing ourselves for a recovery of demand in 2010, but, at the same time, fl uctuations in demand are likely to be more intense than before. Providing fl exible design capacity will be an essential requirement to achieve profi table results.
I wish to thank all of Etteplan's employees for the commitment with which they take part in the development of our company. I also want to thank our customers for good cooperation and our shareholders for continued confi dence in our company.
Matti Hyytiäinen President and CEO
Operational environment
T he business environment in machinery and equipment design underwent an intense change in the course of 2009 as the uncertainty in the fi nancial markets was refl ected in the business operations of Etteplan's customers. The demand for machinery and equipment design services reacted quickly to customers' postponements of investment projects and weakened order books. As far as delivery design is concerned, the smaller order books were immediately visible in the demand for design services in the beginning of 2009. The demand for technical design services in ongoing investment projects and product development decreased more slowly as customers continued their investment projects and product development investments despite the more diffi cult market circumstances. Demand fl uctuated from one sector to the next, weakening in most of Etteplan's customer industries. There was a particularly strong decline in demand in the Swedish automotive industry. In the energy and power transmission industries, on the other hand, the demand for technical design, particularly with regard to wind power projects, remained at a good level throughout the year.
The weaker market conditions generated overcapacity in the technical design and product information sector. The turnaround was quick, especially since 2008 was a peak year for demand for technical design and there was a shortage of qualifi ed employees. Companies in the design sector reduced their overcapacity during 2009 mostly through personnel reductions.
The design sector is still fragmented in its structure and there are plenty of small, local companies in this fi eld. The consolidation of the industry slowed down in 2009. Customers, however, continued to centralize their purchases, and the structure of the sector is changing slowly as a consequence.
The business environment of our customers has changed rapidly. Increasing competition and shifting of the focus in demand to Asia in many sectors have led to more decisions by our customers to renew their production structures and operating methods. New demand for technical design services is being generated in Asia as a consequence of these changes in the business environment.
Our customers are developing their operations by concentrating on their core business and unifying their methods of operation. For technical design and product information services this leads to requirements to provide saving opportunities, fl exibility, and services that are independent of time and place as well as operating procedures that meet strict data security requirements.
Cyclical fl uctuations will control the demand for machinery and equipment design in the short term. Key factors guiding demand in the long term will be technological development, shortened life cycles of products, a growing need for data management in machinery and equipment, and increases in ecoeffi ciency.
The trend in demand for technical design and product information services in 2010 will depend on initiation of investment and product development projects by machinery and equipment manufacturers and also on changes in order books. These will manifest themselves rapidly in changes in the demand for design services. product projects
Etteplan serves its customers by providing technical design and product information solutions for all phases of the life cycle of its customers' products. In addition to operational and expertise services, company's service areas include the new Enterprise Solutions unit.
Delivery model for technical design and product information
I n 2009, Etteplan's service offering was divided into two areas: operational services and expertise services. The company further developed its service structure in the beginning of 2010 by setting up a third new service area, called Etteplan Enterprise Solutions.
Etteplan's customers are machinery and equipment manufacturers. The customer industries include:
- the energy and power transmission industry
- the aerospace and defense equipment industry
- manufacturers of elevators, escalators, hoists, and conveyors, as well as forest industry equipment manufacturers
- equipment manufacturers in the medical technology industry
- the steel and forest industries.
OPERATIONAL SERVICES
The purpose of operational services is to increase customers' technical design and product information management effi ciency and enable customers to focus on their core activities. Forming the foundation of the services is Etteplan's extensive experience and customer references in development and management of design processes.
The operational services include productized technical design and product information outsourcing services, project deliveries, and supply of design capacity.
The operational services combine a costeffi cient design process, design resources, and all of Etteplan's versatile competence in the various technical design areas and technical product information into one competitive service. The service covers the delivery design process of a single product or an entire product line as well as technical product information. The content of the productized service model is tailored specifi cally for each customer. Customer companies can use the service model to focus their operations on key strategic functions and let Etteplan take care of their daily, ongoing design activities in a fl exible manner. Effi cient design processes and a global delivery model offer the customer signifi cant savings in design costs.
During the fi nancial year, Etteplan invested in productization of new service solutions in its operational services. The objective of the new service solutions is to offer customers ever greater added value in services, combined with savings in design costs. Marketing and sales of the new service solutions started in early 2010.
EXPERTISE SERVICES
The purpose of the expertise services is to raise the competitiveness of customers' products by offering fl exible and proven leading edge technology services.
Expertise services provide consulting, requirement specifi cations, design, calculation, and testing services in the fi eld of machinery and equipment design. Expertise services support the customer in demanding product development projects whose objectives are to increase the effi ciency of the product innovation process, enhance the usability of machinery and equipment, and boost the cost-effi ciency of manufacturing. The services cover both development of new products and design services related to the modernization of old products. In addition to expertise services in the area of machinery and equipment design, Etteplan provides industrial and technical infrastructure design services that include, for example, plant engineering services.
LONG-TERM CO OPERATION WITH ABB IN FINLAND
With its 30 years of experience, ABB serves wind power customers at every stage of the process. Its in-depth know-how, years of experience and thorough understanding of both wind turbine applications and power systems have made ABB the leading provider of products and services to the wind power industry.
ABB in Finland has been using Etteplan's engineers for wind power component product development projects from year 2004.
Etteplan's engineers have participated in a number of ABB's wind power product development projects in Finland. The branch is developing quickly and the demand for components is growing all the time. The amount of engineering work increases constantly as customers' requests need to be answered promptly.
ABB in Finland has purchased competence from Etteplan among others in mechanical, electrical and software engineering. Engineers that possess versatile competences have been a part of several development projects along ABB's own engineers.
Cooperation has brought fl exibility and swiftness to engineering work. With the help of Etteplan's engineers ABB has been able to fl exibly allocate resources to right projects. ABB recognises that the use of outside expertise has been a prerequisite for growth.
The customer thanks Etteplan's employees for excellent service minded attitude. This has made the cooperation smooth. An important basis for choosing a cooperation partner is the right people, who know the branch and with whom the cooperation is easy. Obviously also cost effi ciency is crucial.
ETTEPLAN PARTICIPATES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPEAN RAIL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
European Rail Traffi c Management system (ERTMS) is a part of the European standardization and has a goal, to achieve a well functioning cross border train operation in Europe. One of the technical areas of standardization is the signaling safety system. The system enables trains to run smoothly and prevents them from collision and derailment. ERTMS is a set of specifi cations that have to be implemented in all European countries now and Etteplan has versatile competence within this area.
In 2009, Etteplan set up an organization, with the main task to gather resources that have the competences to support suppliers, railway administrators, railway operators, railway authorities, and European standardization authorities. Etteplan's designers with ERTMS competence were assigned to participate in the project during the year 2009. The designers worked with ERTMS in different assignments for:
- Bombardier as supplier
- Banverket as railway administrator in Sweden
- SJ (Statens Järnvägar) as railway operator in Sweden
- and EEIG ERTMS user group as support for European standardization authorities.
The assignments covered several different aspects such as feasibility studies, specifi cations, design, hazard analysis, and review. An internal ERTMS education effort was conducted to enhance the prospects of getting more assignments related to ERTMS development in the future, such as installation of ERTMS equipment and documentation.
After the fi rst year with participation in different ERTMS projects, Etteplan has gained a reputation in the ERTMS area as a consultant company that can supply expert competence. During the year, Etteplan was also rewarded with a framework contract with Banverket to supply consultancy support in the fi eld of ERTMS.
Expertise services include:
- energy-effi cient solutions in machinery and equipment
- testing services
- innovation and product development services for equipment manufacturers in the medical technology industry
- requirement specifi cations and calculation services for machinery and equipment
- product development services for the aerospace and defense equipment industry
- design of embedded systems
- services related to the design and development of industrial infrastructure.
Utilization of internal synergies was a key area of focus for expertise services during the fi nancial year. Previously, Etteplan had operated in accordance with a decentralized operating model. During the period under review, the company focused on consolidation of wider expertise service entities, provided across unit boundaries, so as to offer customers more added value.
entire innovation and design chain so that it is suited for the conditions in the end-user market. These services cover Etteplan's whole service offering, including, for example, quick innovation of a new product, system design and technical design of a product, specifi cation of components to match the customer's procurement process, and the delivery design process. It is the task of the Etteplan Enterprise Solutions unit to prepare service packages that cover the global delivery of services tailored for each customer. Etteplan already has a large number of customer projects in these various sectors. In 2010, the company will focus on integration of these services in order to achieve greater benefi ts for
the customers.
ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS SERVICES
New Etteplan Enterprise Solutions unit concentrates on selected global key customers of Etteplan and aims to improve the competitiveness of its customers' business by providing, in the areas of technical design and product information, comprehensive expertise and operational service solutions that can be adapted to the international business environment.
Customers are increasingly focused on the core areas of their own business operations. Production is being moved close to the end users and includes assembly of products that have been localized for the relevant marketplace. There is a constant effort to increase the cost-effi ciency of operations, and subcontracting networks are managed effectively. To this transition in the business environment Etteplan Enterprise Solutions brings service solutions that help customers launch new products in a cost-effi cient manner, covering the localization of a product's
Development of business operations in 2009
E tteplan's Group structure and service model underwent intense development in the course of the fi nancial year. The objective of the changes is to achieve a better operation and service structure that can meet customer needs more effi ciently. The changes were also implemented due to the rapidly changing market conditions and overcapacity in the industry. During the period under review, in addition to rearrangement of the business structure and the operation adjustments, company invested in development of new service solutions and harmonization of operating processes in selected design areas. Development of the operations in China continued. The volume of design operations in China grew, and customers gave good feedback on the cost-effi cient service model that encompasses technical design and product information.
CHANGE IN GROUP STRUCTURE
Etteplan's operations in Sweden were rearranged during the fi nancial year. The changes in the Group structure were brought to a successful close by the end of 2009. The fi nancial year saw signifi cant changes in the automotive industry that caused Etteplan to focus on provision of testing and analysis services requiring special competence to customers in the industry and to withdraw from basic design engineering. Etteplan sold its majority holding of Etteplan Tech AB in the third quarter of the year. The effects of the transaction on goodwill, revenue, profi tability, and the number of personnel have been presented in the fi nancial statements section of the annual report. In future, Etteplan will focus on serving customers in the automotive industry with its own expertise services and by continuing its cooperation with Etteplan Tech AB.
As part of the operation adjustments, the number of personnel in Sweden was adapted to correspond to the market demand. The company has 550 employees in Sweden after the Etteplan Tech AB transaction and the adjustment measures. After the changes in the Group structure, Etteplan will concentrate on industrial machinery and equipment design in Sweden, aiming to expand its business particularly in the service areas of technical product information and embedded systems. Sweden is an important market area for Group's operations. Following the change, Etteplan's clientele in Sweden include the energy and power transmission industries as well as aerospace and defense industries, a train manufacturer, medical technology equipment manufacturers, and equipment manufacturers in the steel and metal industries as well as the mining industry.
As part of the development in its Group structure, Etteplan sold a majority holding of its business in Italy to that company's operative management in the last quarter of the year. The company employs 16 persons in Italy.
In addition to the changes in the Group structure, Etteplan rearranged its business operations such that the new organizational structure will support Etteplan's strategic objectives and implementation of its strategy even more effi ciently. The purpose of the operation adjustments and the changes in the Group structure is to utilize the experts of the whole Group more effectively and across national and organizational boundaries, to better control the cost effects brought about by the variations in market demand.
A DECREASE IN DEMAND FOR DESIGN SERVICES
In many customer industries, the order books of Etteplan machinery and equipment design customers took a downward turn in the fi rst quarter of the year. The decline ceased in the third quarter, and the order books ended up at levels approximately 25 percent lower than in 2008.
Even though the demand for design services fell, there was steady demand through the year for various design services related to improvement of eco-effi ciency and the use of alternative energy sources. Etteplan can offer many different kinds of design, testing, and emission-verifi cation services. During the fi nancial year under review, Etteplan participated in, e.g., development of an electric car, verifi cation of emissions, design of biofuel power plants, and power plant and equipment design projects involving the use of wind power.
There were no signifi cant changes in Etteplan's customer base in 2009. Etteplan has long-term customer relationships in place. Established cooperation with customers continued and many design contracts were renewed. The majority of the customer base consists of the leading global machinery and equipment manufacturers in their respective fi elds. About three fourths of Etteplan's revenue comes from assignments ordered by the 30 largest customers.
GLOBAL ENGINEE-RING PARTNERSHIP WITH LAROX OYJ
Cooperation between Larox and Etteplan has been fruitful and successful over a number of years. During 2009, the multi-location global engineering service model with Larox Oyj was further developed and implemented.
Task was to commence engineering design services from Etteplan China to support Larox global engineering. This would be attained by developing mechanical and automation design services as well as technical product information services from Etteplan China to support Larox to achieve more cost competitive engineering services.
New processes were created between Etteplan and Larox in multi-locations (Larox Finland, Larox China, Ette plan Finland, Etteplan China) for design project creation and execution. Etteplan has organized European engineers in different competence areas such as mechanical, electric and automation and technical product information to work together with Etteplan's team in China, transfer competence, develop internal communication and implementing quality management systems. Today, a group of Etteplan China engineers are providing mechanical, electric and automation design services and technical product information for Larox global delivery, including Larox China.
With the new multi-location global cooperation model, Larox has been able to improve engineering flexibility and cost efficiency. This has helped both companies to further develop global process and internal cooperation within the Group and with its strategic partners. The new design team in Etteplan China also enabled Larox China to get timely engineering support.
"European quality… Agreed scope… Agreed time… Agreed price…" was the key principles set by Larox Vice President Mr. Louis Manie for the multi-location global cooperation in 2008. Through the joint effort of Etteplan and Larox teams, it started to bear fruits in 2009. Looking into 2010, the scope and design hours will further develop.
TARGET OF ZERO EMISSION ACCELERATES THE GREEN TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
Volvo Cars together with Etteplan is accelerating the development of an electric car with a target of "Zero Emission". The project is called Volvo C 30 PEV, Pure Electric Vehicle, and the car is based on the Volvo C 30 model with the same dimensions, functions, and safety features as the standard model. The car is charged by an electrical inlet which is placed in a discrete charging box in the grill. Etteplan has a central role in the technical solutions, which are extremely specifi c and crucial in order to develop and offer an attractive car for the consumers.
For consumers it is important that the electric car is not only good for the environment but also attractive to drive and own. To achieve this, Volvo's electric cars have to be as comfortable, safe, and have the same performance as regular cars. Basic driving properties are on the same level or better than a 1.6 litre petrol engine car. Top speed is electronically controlled to 130 km/h and acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 10.5 seconds.
Range and charging time are important characteristics, typical for all electric cars. Anything that consumes energy decreases the car's range. This means that energy optimization of the car's systems is even more important than when you have a traditional engine. To solve these challenges many new technical solutions are needed and it is here Etteplan's spearhead competence with engine, powertrain, and climate control system comes in. Etteplan's responsibilities have primarily been in the fi elds of engine/powertrain installation, safety systems, vacuum support for the brakes, and involvement in the design of the new crash structure. Etteplan has also been involved in the battery climate control system, which is important for battery performance and durability. Additional work has been done for the climate control of the compartment and cooling of the engine/powertrain.
One interesting innovation is that the car regenerates energy to the battery while braking, which extends the range of the car. The car will be in low volume production in 2011.
Etteplan is participating in a number of electric car projects at the moment.
GROWTH OF MARKET SHARE
Etteplan's customers are reducing the number of their partners and consolidating their procurement of technical design and product information services with companies that can provide a broader offering of services. Several industrial customers centralized the procurement of their design services with Etteplan. For this reason, Etteplan's market share grew during the 2009 fi nancial year although demand fell, and the reduction of overcapacity and operation adjustments had a negative impact on the company's revenue and profitability. Etteplan renewed framework agreements with its customers and concluded a considerable number of new contracts. During the period under review, Etteplan made agreements with Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB, Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB, Saab AB, Vattenfall AB, Sandvik, Ovako, Metso Oyj, Rautaruukki Oyj, Banverket, and several other important industrial and publicservice customers. Other signifi cant customers in 2009 included KONE Oyj, Larox Oyj, Nokian Renkaat Oyj, and Winwind Oy.
Etteplan has good operating prospects in Russia, once the market recovers. In December 2009, Etteplan was granted a Self Regulating Organizations design permit in Russia, where the license covers all of Russia.
The focus for 2010
I n 2010, Etteplan will focus on providing new service solutions for its customers and increasing the proportion of its sales represented by new solutions. The focus will be on supporting customers' business operations with compre-
hensive and global technical design and product information solutions through which the company aims to achieve organic growth.
Implementation of the strat-
egy will continue in the selected areas: customer-orientation, new service solutions, and "One Etteplan." The objective of customer-orientation is to develop the company's service and sales culture and to provide current and new customers with all of Etteplan's competence. The service solutions are aimed at effectively shifting the business focus from resource sales to solution sales. The "One Etteplan" theme includes development of internal operating methods and information systems that support them.
At the start of 2010, the company has great clientele, an improved market position, new product solutions, and an ever more effi cient service and Group structure.
Personnel
P ersonnel form the key success factor of business operations that are based on expertise. Etteplan's personnel consist of highly educated experts in various technical areas. An essential part of their competence consists of knowledge of technical design and product information processes and the product lines of our customers. During the period under review, the company utilized its versatile competence in a great many demanding and multifaceted assignments.
The review period posed challenges for the personnel as the situation in the marketplace changed dramatically. Lack of personnel in the previous year quickly turned into an oversupply of design capacity in our main market in the Nordic countries. Etteplan carried out the personnel reductions required by the market situation mainly through temporary layoffs in Finland. In Sweden, operation adjustments meant that employment relationships had to be terminated due to Swedish legislation. Despite of the diffi cult situation, our employees have worked in an exemplary manner and the quality of the design work has remained steady. The number of sick days during the period under review remained at Etteplan's established, low level.
All of Etteplan's personnel have been included in electronic personnel information systems in the course of the review period. With these systems, information about the company's personnel structure and its changes, including turnover and progress of development discussions as well as other key information about personnel, is always up to date and at the disposal of supervisors and the Human Resources department. The information system will be supplemented to include the competence profi les of all employees. In 2009, Etteplan completed the structure of its technical competence model and descriptions of assignments according to this structure – now they can be presented, for the fi rst time, in a uniform manner for the whole Group.
The number of development discussions completed is monitored at Etteplan on an annual basis, with the objective being to come to a situation where a discussion is held with each employee every year. The number of discussions held has grown steadily, and currently development discussions are held with approximately 80 percent of the personnel. The company has also focused on the quality of the development discussions. Supervisors have participated in development discussion training, and procedures related to the discussions have been improved.
Etteplan has offi ces in 28 locations in Finland and in 15 locations in Sweden. Due to the company's distributed operating structure, the most effi cient way to reach all personnel is by means of electronic tools. In the period under review, the company focused on the development of electronic training materials. Use of these training materials began in late 2009, and publication of new training courses will continue in 2010. Completion of training will be monitored through electronic reporting.
PERSONNEL STRUCTURE
At the end of the period under review, the company employed a total of 1,544 persons, 571 of them abroad. There are, in total, 125 employees in Etteplan's Shanghai offi ce and in the joint venture in Kunshan, China. The number of personnel was reduced by 244 employees as Etteplan sold its majority holding in its Swedish subsidiary Etteplan Tech AB. The various age groups are represented in a balanced way in the age distribution of the personnel.

Review by the Board of Directors Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2009
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Etteplan's customers' weakened order books refl ected to the demand for design services through the year. The demand declined rapidly during the fi rst half of the year and stabilized, in the third quarter, to 25% lower level compared to the same period in the previous year. Demand remained on this level until the end of the year. Decline in demand commenced, in the fi rst quarter of year, with the decline in demand for design services among forest industry equipment manufacturers, and decline expanded to include most of Etteplan's customer industries during the review period. Energy and power transmission industry was an exception and demand continued on a steady level through the entire period under review.
Etteplan signed framework agreements with current and new customers steadily through the review period. Etteplan's customers' continued to concentrate their design services procurement and for Etteplan this meant improved market share.
During the review period, Etteplan renewed its Group structure and operational practices as well as adjusted operations to correspond with the declined demand.
Renewing of Group structure applied mainly to operations in Sweden. Etteplan sold its majority holding in Etteplan Tech AB and owns 19.9% of the company after the transaction. With the transaction Etteplan withdrew from automotive industry's basic design engineering.
The majority holding of business in Italy was sold to the operative management. The company has 16 employees. Etteplan continues as minority shareholder in the company with 19.0% share.
Etteplan Oyj published its updated strategy in the review period. As a result of the updated strategy, for years 2010-2012, Etteplan reorganised its operational and service principles.
With the help of the updated strategy company aims to improve its current strong market position. Etteplan's good current clientele creates a strong base for the growth.
Etteplan serves its customers by providing technical design and product information solutions for all phases of the life cycle of customers' products. In the updated strategy, Etteplan's service offering is divided into two service areas, operational services and expertise services.
Renewing operational practices included the development of cost effective technical design and product information delivery models. Etteplan received a number of new assignments during the year where work is done in China units. Delivery models offer customers' substantial cost savings in technical design and product information.
The amount of personnel reductions grew quickly in the fi rst half of the year and was approximately 250 employees in Finland and approximately 100 employees in continuing operation in Sweden. The reductions were mainly temporary lay offs in Finland and permanent lay offs in Sweden. There was no substantial change in the amount of personnel reductions in the second half of the year.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICY APPLIED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis for preparation
These consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) system and in conformity with the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) in force on December 31, 2009 as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (SIC and IFRIC). In the Finnish Accounting Act and the regulations based on it, "International Financial Reporting Standards" refers to the standards and the interpretations issued regarding them that have been approved for application within the EU in accordance with the procedure prescribed in EU regulation (EC) 1606/2002. The notes to the consolidated fi nancial statements also comply with Finnish accounting and company legislation. Figures in the fi nancial statement are presented in thousands of euros and, unless otherwise stated in the accounting policy, based on historical costs.
Standards and interpretations that came into force in 2009 and have been adopted. They did not have an effect on the Group's result of operations or balance sheet position.
- IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements (revised)
- IFRS 2: Share-based payment
- IAS 23: Borrowing Costs (revised)
- IFRS 7: Financial instruments Disclosure (amendment)
The following standards and interpretations have been published and were in force in the fi nancial year beginning on January 1, 2010. In the view of the Company's management, they do not have a signifi cant effect on the Group's result or balance sheet position:
- IFRIC 17: Distribution of non-cash assets to owners
- IAS 27: Consolidated and separate fi nancial statements (revised)
- IAS 38: Intangible Assets (amendment)
- IFRS 5: Measurement of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classifi ed as held-forsale.
- IAS 1: Presentation of fi nancial statements (amendment)
- IFRS 2: Group cash-settled and share-based payment transactions (amendments)
The Company has not applied IFRS 3 Business Combinations (revised) standard in 2009. The standard will be applied from the beginning of the fi nancial year starting January 1, 2010 which will change calculations regarding new acquisitions from that fi nancial year onwards. According to the standard, acquisitions made before the standard is applied will not be amended retrospectively. Therefore, application of the standard will not affect the income statement or balance sheet of this fi nancial year.
In preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with the IFRS system, the Company's management must make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as well as on income and expenses for the fi nancial year. The estimates are based on the management's current best knowledge, and therefore the outcomes may deviate from these estimates. Information about the matters in which the management has exercised judgment in the application of the Group accounting principles, and which have the greatest impact on the fi gures disclosed in the fi nancial statements, is presented under "Critical accounting judgments and key sources of uncertainty."
Subsidiaries
The consolidated fi nancial statements include the fi nancial statement information of Etteplan Oyj and subsidiaries belonging to the Group, from which all intra-Group transactions, internal receivables, and liabilities as well as internal distribution of profi t have been eliminated. The accounting policies applied in the fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries have been adjusted, as necessary, in accordance with the accounting policies of Etteplan Oyj. Subsidiaries are companies in which the Group has a controlling interest. Controlling interest is generated when the Group has more than half of the voting power or otherwise holds a controlling interest. Control means the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities. Etteplan Oyj has one associated company.
Intra-Group share ownership has been eliminated according to the acquisition cost method.
Subsidiaries acquired during the fi nancial year have been included in the consolidated fi nancial statements from the time when the Group obtained control. The transferred assets and direct costs originating from the acquisition are measured at the fair value at the time of the acquisition and included in the acquisition cost. Identifi able assets and liabilities of the acquired business operations have been measured at fair value. The amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the fair value of the net assets of acquired business operations has been recorded in the balance sheet as goodwill. If the fair value of the acquired net assets is higher than their acquisition cost, the difference has been recorded in the income statement.
Subsidiaries divested during the fi nancial year are reported as discontinuing operation, if they are real separate businesses or geographically separated businesses, in the consolidated fi nancial statements up to the date of sale. This includes all revenues, costs, translation differences and the losses if the booked value is higher than the selling price.
In the consolidated fi nancial statements, the minority interest in subsidiaries has been stated as a separate item. The allocation of profi t for the fi nancial year to equity-holders of the parent and to minority interest is presented in the income statement, and the minority interest is shown in the consolidated balance sheet under equity, separately from the parent shareholders' equity. Earn outs have been recorded directly to goodwill.
Associated companies have been consolidated using the equity method. If the Group's share of associates' losses exceeds the carrying amount, Group's share will be booked to zero value in balance sheet and losses in excess of the carrying amount are not consolidated unless the Group has committed to fulfi lling the obligations of the associates. The Group's share of the associated companies' result is disclosed separately after operating profi t.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identifi ed as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.
Etteplan provides services for all phases of the life cycle of its customers' products, from product development to product maintenance. For this reason, in year 2008 Etteplan reorganized its operations such that services are provided on a key customer basis and not by design phase. As a result, the Company has ceased reporting for two separate segments and transferred to one segment, which better depicts the current operations.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the fi nancial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in euros, the currency of the business environment and the presentation currency of the Group's parent company. Foreign-currency transactions have been translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the date of the transaction. Foreign-currency-denominated receivables and liabilities in the balance sheet on the balance sheet date have been translated into euros at the exchange rate for the balance sheet date. Exchange differences resulting from business transactions denominated in a foreign currency are recorded in the corresponding accounts in the income statement above operating profi t. Exchange differences in resulting from fi nancing transactions are recorded in fi nancial income and expenses.
The balance sheet items of subsidiaries outside the euro zone have been translated into euros at the exchange rate for the balance sheet date and their income statement items at the average exchange rate for the month in question. Translating the profi t for the fi nancial year with different rates in the income statement and the balance sheet leads to a translation difference that is recorded in equity. Cumulative translation differences on post-acquisition equity items, which have arisen on the elimination of the acquisition cost of foreign subsidiaries, are recorded in equity.
Property, plant, and equipment
The property, plant, and equipment items have been measured for the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property, plant, and equipment items are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Land areas are not depreciated, because they are not considered to have a carrying period. The useful lives of property, plant, and equipment items are:
| Computers | 3 years |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Offi ce furniture and fi xtures | 5 years |
| Renovation of premises | 5/7 years |
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when they are incurred. Major basic improvement investments are capitalized and depreciated in the income statement over their useful life. The useful lives of assets are checked in each fi nancial statement. Capital gains and losses from the retirement and sale of property, plant, and equipment items are included in either other operating income or expenses.
Assets leased under agreements that are classifi ed as fi nance leases have been capitalized under property, plant, and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments, whichever is lower. Lease obligations arising from fi nance lease agreements are presented in non-current and current liabilities. Finance leases lead to depreciation and interest expenses on assets that are capitalized during the relevant fi nancial periods. Assets acquired under a fi nance lease agreement are depreciated over their useful life. If the Group does not assume ownership of the asset at the end of the lease period, depreciation is recorded over the lease period or the useful life, whichever is shorter.
Intangible assets Goodwill
Goodwill corresponds to that part of the acquisition cost which exceeds the Group's share of the fair value, on the date of purchase, for the net asset value of an acquire. The goodwill arising from the combination of businesses prior to January 1, 2004 corresponds to the carrying amount according to the FAS system, used previously, which has been used as the deemed cost. Neither the classifi cation of these acquisitions nor their treatment in the fi nancial statements has been adjusted in preparation of the Group's opening IFRS balance sheet. Goodwill is measured at historical cost less impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefi t from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets include software licenses and intangible rights. Intangible assets are recorded in the balance sheet at historical cost. Assets with limited useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The depreciation periods of other intangible assets are:
Software 3 to 7 years
Impairment of assets
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment. If there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment, the recoverable amount is determined for that cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. That cash-generating unit is the smallest possible independent cashgenerating group of assets. The recoverable amount is the utility value of the capital, the estimated future net cash fl ow discounted to present value from the cash-generating unit in question. The essential assumptions for impairment tests are presented in Note 21 to the fi nancial statements ("Impairment testing"). Material acquisitions of companies and goodwill arising from them are presented in Note 4 ("Business combinations").
The assets from which amortization has been recognized are always tested for impairment if there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment. On each balance sheet date, it is evaluated whether there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment in the fi nancial assets recognized in the balance sheet. The recoverable amount for fi nancial assets is either their fair value or the present value of future cash fl ows.
Lease agreements
Lease agreements in which all risks and rewards incident to ownership remain with the lessor are treated as other lease agreements (operating leases). Contractual lease payments are entered as expenses in the income statement over the lease period.
Leases that transfer essentially all risks and rewards incident to ownership are classifi ed as fi nance leases. The fair value of leased assets is recorded, at the inception of the lease, under assets in the balance sheet and as a fi nance lease liability on the liabilities side. If the fair value cannot be determined, the value is calculated as the present value of minimum lease payments. In calculation of the present value, the discount rate applied is either the internal rate of return in the lease or, if this cannot be determined, the interest rate on incremental borrowing as determined by the management. Assets acquired under fi nance leases are depreciated over their useful life or the lease period, whichever is shorter.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classifi ed as held for sale, and
-
Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations
-
Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
or
- Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the consolidated comprehensive income statement. Assets held for sale, disposal groups that are classifi ed as held for sale, amounts related to assets held for sale and recognised in other comprehensive income statement and the liabilities included in disposal groups held for sale are presented separately on the face of the balance sheet.
Receivables
Receivables are entered in the balance sheet at cost or at the lower fair value. Receivables are assessed regularly in terms of collectability and available collateral. If a credit loss is observed on a trade receivable, the credit loss is recorded in other operating expenses in the income statement.
Recognition of income
Revenue includes income from design activities and sales of materials and supplies for projects, adjusted for indirect taxes, discounts, and exchange differences on currency-denominated sales.
Income from services
As a rule, services are recognized when the service is rendered.
Income from sales of materials
Sales of materials are recognized when the risks and rewards incident to ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Generally this takes place on assignment of materials.
Government grants
Government grants that are intended to compensate costs, are recognized as income over the same period as the related costs are recognized. These government grants are presented in other operating income.
Fixed –price/long-term projects
Contracts whose outcome can be assessed reliably are recognized as income and expenses on the basis of the percentage of completion at the time of calculation. A contract's percentage of completion is evaluated on the basis of project progress, which, in turn, is determined from the ratio of the costs that have materialized to the estimated total cost of the contract. In the case of contracts whose outcome cannot be assessed reliably, project expenditure is expensed for the period in which it arises. Likewise, the amount of income recognized from a project does not exceed expenditure. The total loss on a contract that will probably result in a loss is expensed immediately.
Interests and dividends
Interest income has been recorded according to the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognized when the shareholder gains the right to receive payment.
Employee benefi ts Pension obligations
The Group's pension arrangements are defi ned contribution plans. In such plans, the Group makes fi xed payments to an external insurance company. The Group does not have a legal or constructive obligation to make additional payments if the recipient cannot pay the pension benefi ts in question. The payments for defi ned contribution plans are expensed in the accounting period to which they are allocated.
Termination benefi ts
Termination benefi ts are recorded as a liability and an expense when employment is terminated before the normal retirement of the employee or when the employee is paid compensation as a consequence of voluntary redundancy. Termination benefi ts are recorded when the Company is demonstrably committed to the termination of employment in accordance with a detailed formal plan or has made a compensation proposal to the employee to promote voluntary redundancy. Benefi ts falling due later than 12 months from the balance sheet date are discounted to their present value.
Profi t-sharing and bonus plans
The group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profi t-sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profi t attributable to the company's shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
Share-based incentive plan
In 2008, the Etteplan Oyj Board of Directors decided on a new a share-based incentive plan for senior management and other key employees. The plan, launched at the beginning of 2008, comprises 37 people in 2008 and 39 in 2009. The share-based incentive plan offers the target group the opportunity to receive Etteplan Oyj shares as remuneration.
The plan includes three earnings periods: calendar years 2008, 2009, and 2010. The amount of remunerations paid is tied to objectives that are set annually. At the beginning of each earnings period, the Board of Directors reviews the target group and specifi es the maximum number of shares per person that can be earned. Remunerations paid out from the incentive plan are paid in three installments, as company shares and partly in cash. The part paid in cash covers the taxes and taxlike fees paid for the remuneration. An earnings period is followed by a mandatory twoyear ownership period. During three earnings periods, the remunerations correspond to the value of about 720,000 Etteplan Oyj shares at maximum.
If employment is terminated during the earnings or ownership period, the key person is not entitled to shares.
In accounting, share-based incentive plans are treated as arrangements that are settled partly as shares and partly as cash. The part of a remuneration earned that the participants receive as Etteplan Oyj shares is treated as an arrangement that is settled as shares and recorded in shareholders' equity; the part of a remuneration earned that is paid in cash to pay off taxes and other levies is recorded in liabilities. Debt on the balance sheet is measured at fair value on the balance sheet date.
The Group has hedged against a potential share price risk between the date of granting and the date of payment related to share remunerations granted. The plan is hedged through buyback of treasury shares.
Income taxes
The taxes in the consolidated income statement include the current tax for Group companies, taxes from previous fi nancial periods, and the change in deferred taxes. Current tax is calculated on taxable income according to the tax rate in force in each country concerned. In the case of items entered directly in shareholders' equity, the tax effect is recognized in equity.
Deferred taxes are recognized on all temporary differences between carrying amounts and their taxable values. The most signifi cant temporary differences arise from the amortization of property, plant, and equipment, and from lease agreements and the provisions of foreign subsidiaries. Deferred taxes are determined by using the tax base in force on the balance sheet date or the enacted tax base at the time of tax base transition.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity includes the share capital, the share premium fund, the unrestricted shareholders' equity fund and other equity items in accordance with the legislation of the relevant countries. When Etteplan Oyj buys back its own shares, the compensation paid for the shares and the buyback costs reduce shareholders' equity. Etteplan Oyj has one series of shares.
Hybrid loan
A hybrid loan is an equity bond that is subordinated to company's other debt instruments but is senior to other equity instruments. The loan is unsecured and unguaranteed. The loan is perpetual and has no specifi c maturity date. The company decides if and when to repay the loan. The interest on a hybrid loan is paid if the Annual General Meeting decides to pay a dividend. If a dividend is not paid, the company decides separately on whether to pay interest. Unpaid interest accumulates. Hybrid loan holders have no control over the company and no right to vote at shareholders' meetings.
Financial assets and liabilities
The Group's fi nancial assets and liabilities are classifi ed into the following categories in accordance with IAS 39, Financial Instruments: fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale.
Regular purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all fi nancial assets not carried at fair value through profi t or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profi t or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-forsale fi nancial assets and fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss include fi nancial assets classifi ed as available-for-sale maturing within 12 months. Those assets are measured at fair value on the basis of published price quotations in wellfunctioning markets. Both realized and unrealized profi ts and losses due to changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement in the fi nancial year in which they have arisen.
Other receivables are fi nancial assets with fi xed or measurable payments that are not quoted on well-functioning markets and are not held for trading. They are measured at the periodized cost and included under "Trade receivables and other receivables" in the balance sheet. If a receivable falls due no later than within 12 months, it is recorded in current fi nancial assets; if it is payable in more than 12 months, it is recorded in non-current fi nancial assets.
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are assets that have not been classifi ed in another category. They are included in non-current assets unless the Company intends to hold them for less than 12 months from the balance sheet date, in which case they are presented in current assets. Available-for-sale fi nancial assets comprise shares that are measured at historical cost because their fair value cannot be measured reliably and shares are not intended to be actively traded on the active markets.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. Items included under cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are derecognized when the Group's contractual right to receive cash fl ows has expired or essentially all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership have been transferred from the Group.
Financial liabilities are classifi ed as fi nancial liabilities recognized at fair value through profi t or loss or as other fi nancial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recognised at fair value on the basis of the compensation originally received. Transaction costs have been included in the original book value of fi nancial liabilities.
Financial liabilities recognised at fair value through profi t or loss are liabilities from derivative contracts which do not fulfi l the terms of hedge accounting. Other fi nancial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial debts are included in current and non-current debts and may be either interest-bearing or non-interesting-bearing.
Derivative contracts are originally entered in the books under purchase costs representing their fair value. Following the acquisition, derivative contracts are measured at fair value. Group uses derivatives to hedge against interest rate and currency risks. Interest rate swaps are used to hedge against changes in market rates of interest. Currency forward contracts are used to hedge receivables and debts in foreign currencies. Group does not currently comply with the hedging policies of IAS 39. The changes in the fair values of derivatives are entered under fi nancial income and expenses. Detailed specifi cation is disclosed in Note 33.
On the balance sheet date, the Group determines where there is evidence of impairment of a fi nancial asset item or group. An impairment loss is recognized on trade receivables if there is evidence that the receivables cannot be recovered in full.
Operating profi t
Operating profi t is an item in the income statement that is obtained by adding other operating income to revenue, then deducting operational expenses, depreciation, and impairment losses. Operating profi t includes exchange rate differences on items related to operations.
Critical accounting judgments and key sources of uncertainty
Forward-looking estimates and assumptions are made in preparation of the fi nancial statements. The outcomes may deviate from these estimates and assumptions. In addition, judgment must be exercised in the application of the accounting policy. The estimates are based on the management's best knowledge on the balance sheet date. Any changes to estimates and assumptions are entered in the accounts in the fi nancial period when the estimate or assumption is amended.
The key assumptions concerning the future and uncertainties concerning the estimates made on the balance sheet date that cause a risk of changes in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities during the next fi nancial period are as follows.
Fair value measurement
In business combinations, tangible assets have been compared with the market prices of equivalent assets, and decline in the value of acquired assets due to various factors has been estimated. The fair value measurement of intangible assets is based on estimates of asset-related cash fl ows. The management believes that the estimates and assumptions are suffi ciently precise for use as the basis for fair value measurement. Any indications of impairment of tangible and intangible assets are reviewed annually.
Customer agreements and accounts in acquisitions
Acquirees in general have a limited number of major customer accounts and agreements. In the management's view, these customer accounts and agreements cannot as a rule be considered to constitute an asset item that is to be recorded in the balance sheet, because the customer agreements are by nature nonbinding framework agreements and thus cannot be treated or sold separately. With respect to customer agreements and accounts, it must also be taken into account that they are valid until further notice and a probable useful life cannot be reliably set for them.
Impairment testing
The Group tests goodwill and intangible assets with unlimited useful lives for impairment annually. Indications of impairment are evaluated in the manner described above. Recoverable amounts for cash-generating units are based on value-in-use calculations. Estimates are required in making these calculations.
Values of goodwill recorded in the balance sheet in the end of the fi nancial year are EUR 31,184 thousand (2008: EUR 33,207 thousand). Sensitivity analysis is disclosed in Note 21 ("Impairment testing").
2. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS
In its business operations, Etteplan Group is exposed to several types of fi nancial risks: interest, foreign-currency, fi nancing and liquidity, counterparty and credit risks.
The objective of fi nancial risk management is to protect the Group from unfavorable changes in the fi nancial market and thus contribute as much as possible to guaranteeing the Company's profi t and shareholders' equity, and to guarantee suffi cient liquidity in a cost-effi cient manner. In management of fi nancial risks, various fi nancial instruments are used within the framework of authorizations issued by the Group's Board of Directors. Etteplan Group uses only such instruments whose market value and risk profi le can be monitored constantly and reliably.
Management of fi nancial risks has been centralized with the Group's fi nancial department, which is responsible for identifi cation and evaluation of, and protection against, the Group's fi nancial risks. Furthermore, the fi nancial department is responsible, in a centralized fashion, for funding of the Group, and it provides the management with information about the fi nancial situation of the Group and the business units.
Foreign-currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign-currency risks related to different currencies, which come about as a result of foreign-currency-denominated commercial transactions and from translation of foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet items into the reporting currency. The most signifi cant of the foreign-currency risks are related to the Swedish krona.
Transaction risk
The majority of Etteplan Group's business operations are handled in the currency of the project country of the respective Group company. In the period under review, the Group did not have signifi cant transaction risks generated from the currency fl ow in foreign currencies. The Group did not take steps to protect itself against transaction risks during the review period.
Translation risk
The Group is exposed to a translation risk caused by fl uctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, when it translates balance sheet items of subsidiaries based outside the euro area into its reporting currency. In the period under review, the Group did not protect itself from the currency risks related to the shareholders' equity of these companies.
Interest risk
Etteplan Group is exposed to interest risk in
two ways: because of changes in value for balance sheet items (i.e., a price risk) and cash fl ow risk caused by changes in market interest rates.
The Group manages the interest risk by diversifying its loan portfolio to include loans with fi xed and variable interest rates, and with interest rate derivative contracts. On the balance sheet date, the total amount of interestbearing debt was EUR 10,762 thousand of which EUR 4,062 thousand was in the form of fi xed-interest loans and EUR 4,500 thousand was covered with a contract in which the interest range is between 3.56 and 4.45 percent.
Financing and liquidity risk
Etteplan Group aims to guarantee solid liquidity in all market conditions through effi cient cash management and by investing liquid funds in only those targets that have low risk and can be sold for cash easily.
The Group uses credit limits tied to cashpool arrangements for short-term fi nancing. On the balance sheet date, the Group had EUR 18,000 thousand of agreed credit limits, of which EUR 207 thousand was in use.
The Group aims to minimize its refi nancing risk by applying a balanced maturity schedule for its loan portfolio, ensuring suffi cient maturity of loans, and using several banks as sources of fi nancing.
The company has two different kind of fi nancial covenants related to different loans. Breaching 25% equity ratio linked covenant calls for renegotiations of the loan terms (mainly interest) with the bank. According to fi nancial statements in 2009 this term of covenant was not breached.
Breaching interest-bearing debt/EBITDA (excluding onetime costs) covenant has an affect on margin level of debts. Breaching the limit of 2.5 would increase margin level to 0.2% - 0.4% and breaching the limit of 3.5 calls for renegotiations of the loan terms (mainly interest) with the bank. According to fi nancial statements in 2009 the lower limit of 2.5 will be broken not the upper of 3.5 leading to an increase in interest of 0.4% for a EUR 2.2 million loan.
Counterparty and credit risk
Financial instrument contracts that Etteplan Group has concluded with banks have the associated risk of the counterparty being unable to fulfi ll its obligations under the contract. Credit risk related to business operations arises out of a customer's inability to perform its contractual obligations.
In order to minimize the counterparty risk, the Group has concluded its signifi cant fi nancing contracts with leading Nordic banks that have a good credit rating.
A considerable proportion of the Group's business operations focus on large, fi nancially solid companies that operate internationally. The largest individual customer accounts for less than 10 percent of the Group's revenue. Credit risk is also reduced by the customer companies being divided among several different sectors of operation.
The Group aims to guarantee that services are sold to only those with an appropriate credit rating. The Group controls credit risk systematically, and overdue sales receivables are assessed on a monthly basis. The Company strives to control the effects of increased fi nancial uncertainty by actively monitoring its receivables and by working to enhance its debt collection processes.
Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the net gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by equity. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
To ensure suffi cient fl exibility, the goal is to keep the net gearing ratio within 20-100%
The following table sets out the Group's net gearing ratio:
| 2009 | 2008 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total borrowings | 11 585 | 16 615 |
| Less: cash and | ||

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t attributable to equity holders for the fi nancial year by the weighted average number of externally owned shares during the fi nancial year. In the calculation the shares purchased by the Company are excluded. When calculating profi t attributable to equity holders interest expenses from hybrid loan adjusted with tax effect have been taken into account.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to refl ect the conversion of all dilutive effect ordinary shares.

Minority interests are valued according to group's share to companies' equities.
Investments available-for-sale comprise mainly unlisted equity securities which are valued at their historical cost as shares are not intended to be actively traded on the active markets. Share amounts recognized in the balance sheet are minor and do not have essential effect on the consolidated balance sheet. Investments available-for-sale are classifi ed as non-current assets as they are not expected to be realized during the next twelve months after the reporting date nor selling them is necessary for gaining working capital.
21. IMPAIRMENT TESTING
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for determination of impairment. In impairment testing the recoverable amount is defi ned as valuein-use. The calculations are based on profi t after tax. Cash fl ows after tax are based on budget fi gures approved by management for a next fi ve year period. While defi ning the cash fl ow, the attention is paid on anticipated price and margin development, costs, net working capital and investment needs. Management determined these based on past performance and its expectations of market development.
| THE KEY ASSUMPTIONS USED FOR VALUE-IN-USE CALCULATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Key Assumptions | 2009 | 2008 | ||
| Growth rate year 2-5 | 3-5 % | 3-5 % | ||
| Growth rate after 5 years | 1 % | 1 % | ||
| Discount rate | 8,0% | 8,5% |
The recoverable amount is compared with the goodwill of the cash-generating unit. An impairment loss would be booked as cost in the income statement if the recoverable amount is lower than book value. No impairment loss has been booked during the fi scal year.
The discount rate is determined based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) that depicts the overall costs of shareholders' equity and liabilities. The discount rate is determined after tax because cash fl ows analysed are after tax also.
Impairment testing has been executed for CGU's where group's goodwill has been allocated as following:
| EUR 1 000 000 | 2009 | 2008 |
|---|---|---|
| Etteplan Sweden operations | 20,3 | 24,0 |
| Plant Engineering Finland | 5,5 | 3,8 |
| Technical information | 5,4 | 5,4 |
| Total | 31,2 | 33,2 |
| SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| According to impairment testing the recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying amounts as following: | ||||
| EUR 1 000 000 | 2009 | 2008 | ||
| Etteplan Sweden operations | 16,5 | 25,2 | ||
| Plant Engineering Finland | 10,3 | 21,1 | ||
| Technical information | 3,6 | 13,6 | ||
| Total | 30,4 | 59,9 | ||
In connection with impairment testing sensitivity analyses have been performed using following variables, which individually doesn't lead to impairments:
• 0-growth in net sales
• Decrease of profi tability (EBIT) by 3 percentage
• Increase of discount rate by 4 percentage
According to management understanding no potential changes in key variables would lead to impairment losses. However, if in the same time would realise for example 0-growth in net sales and decrease of profi tability by 3% would lead to impairment loss booking of EUR 3.0 million in Etteplan Sweden.

Parent company's accounting policies
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The fi nancial statements of the parent company, Etteplan Oyj, have been prepared in accordance with Finnish accounting and company legislation (FAS).
RECOGNITION OF INCOME AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
The revenue includes income from design activities and sales of materials and supplies for projects. The parent company's accounting principles for recognition of income and construction contracts correspond to those applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE
Research and development expenditure is recorded under expenses for the year in which it is incurred.
MEASUREMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment has been capitalized in the balance sheet at cost less depreciation according to plan and with possible impairment loss. Depreciation according to plan is based on the estimated useful life of the asset item. Land areas are not depreciated because they are not considered to have a carrying period. The useful lives of other tangible assets are:
| Software | 5 years |
|---|---|
| Computers | 3 years |
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Offi ce furniture and fi xtures | 5 years |
| Renovation of premises | 5 years |
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when they are incurred. Major basic improvement investments are capitalized and depreciated in the income statement over their useful life. Capital gains and losses arising on the retirement and sale of property, plant and equipment are included either in other operating income or under expenses.
INCOME TAXES
Taxes in the income statement include taxes based on taxable earnings for the period as well as taxes for previous periods. Current tax is calculated on taxable income using the tax rate that is in force in each country.
ACCUMULATED APPROPRIATIONS IN THE PARENT COMPANY
Accumulated appropriations for the parent company comprise the depreciation difference. The accumulated depreciation difference between depreciation according to plan and book depreciation totals EUR 164 thousand for long-term expenditure. The associated imputed tax liability is EUR 43 thousand, which is not recorded in the parent company's balance sheet. Postponed depreciations of machinery and equipment amount to a total of EUR 27 thousand. The associated deferred tax assets are not recorded in the parent company's balance sheet.
PENSION AGREEMENTS
Pension security for the employees of the parent company has been arranged with external pension insurance companies. Pension expenses are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.
LEASE AGREEMENTS
Contractual lease payments are entered as expenses in the income statement over the lease period.
