Growth Strategy

Etteplan's clientele consists of global industrial companies that are leaders in their fields. Etteplan aims to offer competence of the whole company effectively to the use of the current and new customers. Etteplan seeks competitive advantage from its versatile cutting edge competence of engineering design areas, ability to manage engineering processes effectively and customer-oriented operational practice.

Strong clientele and new service solutions act as the sources of Etteplan Oyj's organic growth. In company acquisitions the aim, also in the future, is to concentrate on increasing competence capital and clientele. The company aims to improve its current strong market position and to ensure at least 10% average annual organic growth.

Annual management review

The 2010 results were fairly satisfactory in the prevailing economic conditions, where demand in spite of growth was low in comparison with the peak years. Thanks to operation adjustments and execution of strategic development projects carried out in 2009 and 2010, flexibility of our operations has improved and we are more capable than ever of supporting our customers with cost-efficient service solutions.

Demand and the factors driving it

The year 2010 was a time of recovery in demand for technical design services, which are a cyclical business whose growth is intensely dependent on developments in industry. The background for this sensitivity to economic fluctuations is the increase in flexibility of industrial companies' own operations with the help of service companies. In 2010, Etteplan continued to develop its global operating model in order to respond efficiently to the growing need for flexibility as changes in demand become larger and the cycles of changes grow shorter than before.

Even though there was fluctuation in the demand for design services in 2010 and the quantity of services was despite growth at a relatively low level, the factors steering demand have not changed. Technology transfer closer to the target market, requirements for improved costefficiency, increased intelligence and eco-efficiency in machinery and equipment, and an aging population are still trends that make machinery and equipment design a growing industry.

Strategy

We took a close look at our strategy and objectives in 2010. According to our conclusions, our earlier analysis of the trends in the marketplace and the economy has not changed. Our customers still expect us to introduce new solutions to optimize the life cycle of machinery and equipment and, at the same time, produce design services in a cost-efficient manner. Environmental load, recyclability, and producibility related to the use of machinery and equipment, along with management of the entire life cycle, are areas in which product development competence and cost-efficient services in design and technical product information are a necessity. Our conclusion indicates that mere renting of design capacity does not bring these benefits to our customers in full, although we will continue to lease out design capacity as part of the delivery model for our services.

A great many matters related to usability and life-cycle optimization are determined by the machinery and equipment's product development phase. Through thousands of product development projects, Etteplan has accumulated competence that we will continue to productize for our customers in accordance with our strategy this financial year.

We will continue to develop and productize operational services as a part of our customers' order-delivery process in order to achieve savings in our solutions where technical design and product information are concerned. Our objective is to increase the proportion of our revenue accounted for by productized operational services. In operational services, the customer gains cost benefits from our services, and provision of the service is an ongoing business for us. Our main strength in operational services is our knowledge of the customer's product lines and the ability to improve on the design processes.

Success in provision of operational services and delivery of product development projects requires us to make larger investments so that we can ensure sufficient project management capabilities. One indication of our growing investments is the new Project Office and Staffing -function that was established in early 2011.

In line with our vision, we want to be the number one partner for each customer. In the strategic area of "customer-focus," we took development steps by setting up a sales organization at the beginning of the year 2010 and by enhancing our sales process and customer management. We expect these investments to improve our market position further in 2011. Total sales to our 30 largest customers grew faster than our revenue in 2010.

Competitiveness and pricing

Pricing power based on unit prices alone is contracting in staffing business. The international deflationary cycle is evident in design work, too. Success in the current operating environment requires the ability to produce extensive service, independent of time and place, with lower overall prices than ever before. We have succeeded in 2010 by, e.g., providing our customers with 24/5 services in technical product information via utilization of our units in China.

A global operation model that includes an offshoring function is a key prerequisite for improved competitiveness. In the financial year, our customers benefited from offshoring activities not only via affordable prices but also through localization services and successful transfer of technology. We took significant development steps in 2010 by strengthening our units in China and increasing our ownership in them.

Flexibility

The strategic period has seen Etteplan focus on using its competence and design capacity more effectively. The recession in 2009 and the inconsistent recovery of demand in early 2010 were a challenge to efficient utilization of our design capacity. Our utilization rate was not yet sufficient, in spite of our adjustment and development measures. Increasing flexibility and efficiency in resourcing of our assignments with the help of our skilled personnel constitute a central area for development for us throughout the strategic period 2010–2012. We have purposefully transferred our designers to our own premises from our customers' sites whenever possible. This improves our flexibility.

An increase in demand for design services and our intensified sales improve the utilization rate of our design capacity. However, the risk is overheating of the cyclical design sector. Etteplan's goal is the resolute implementation of its strategy according to which the company focuses on provision of demanding design services in the Nordic countries and also increasing of the amount of basic design in the company's units in China. We experienced increasing competition for design resources particularly in Sweden in the latter half of the year. Such competition for resources may bring with it overheating and expensive excess capacity once demand evens out. We are working to avoid this trend. We can ensure flexibility in both our customers' business operations and our own through our offshoring activities. As we expand to countries with more affordable design services and technical product information and with growing markets, we are better able to sustain jobs in the Nordic countries as well.

We further streamlined our operating structure in early 2011. Our expertise and operational services have different delivery models and operating logic. However, services are provided with the same design personnel and by transcending organizational boundaries. This is why we have decided to combine the production of our design services into one entity. The new structure will create flexibility and answer better to the need for an improvement in invoicing rate.

Growth, profitability, and cash flow

In the 21st century, Etteplan has grown through not only organic growth but also outsourcing of industrial companies' design units and acquisitions. Etteplan's strong historic growth stopped due to the global economic recession in 2009–2010. In the course of 2010, almost all of Etteplan's customer industries recovered, but demand was still at a modest level compared to past. Etteplan is well positioned to respond to growth in demand for technical design and product information services, and we are able to increase our design capacity without a significant addition to our fixed costs.

Our targeted organic growth level is still an average of 10 percent per year. In view of the improved market situation and our stronger market position, that goal is realistic.

Etteplan improved its profitability in 2010. Our objective is to improve our profitability further, and, in the current market situation, we have a good opportunity to do just that.

Profitable organic growth, strengthening of the cash flow, and the ensuing improvement of the balance sheet structure are our goals in 2011. If these objectives are reached, the company's position in the consolidation trend of the industry will be enhanced considerably. ■

■ CEO' sreview

Etteplan's President and CEO Matti Hyytiäinen says that recovery of the world's economy manifested as improved demand in all of our key customer industries. Demand remained at a significantly lower level

Dear Shareholder,

As 2010 began, the lowest point in demand for design services had been passed. Demand recovered in almost all of our key customer industries in the course of 2010 but still remained far from the peak level of 2008. We predict that future changes in demand in the design industry will be larger than ever and take place more rapidly than before. Our mission is to be a versatile top expert in machinery and equipment design while simultaneously acting as a costefficient buffer for customers amid changes in the global economy and the ensuing variation in demand.

Key to success in this industry is to function as a partner that customers can trust as they contract for a growing number of services in technical design and product information such that our customers' own global delivery chain becomes more streamlined and efficient. In 2010, Etteplan invested in the development of its operations by, for example, making possible a global 24/5 service.

I am relatively satisfied with the result we achieved, which is a consequence of favorable development of clientele and of our operation adjustments begun in 2009. I am particularly pleased that a growing number of our customers utilized our China-offshoring operation model and used it to obtain cost savings in their business. In order to shoulder our social responsibility here in the Nordic countries by employing skilled engineers in demanding customer assignments, we must, alongside our customers, spread out to countries with more affordable production costs. The alteration in the behavior of our clientele and the availability of competent engineers in Europe explain why basic design is being transferred to countries with lower costs.

In 2010, we continued to implement our development programs in order to ensure our competitiveness. We have established a sales organization, proceeded with various ICT system projects, and consolidated our organizational structure to follow an ever more integrated model – these are recent investments that we will continue in year 2011.

Currently, machinery and equipment manufacturers have a positive outlook for the future, which enables improvement in the demand for design services. In 2011, however, the prevailing uncertainty in the global economy requires alertness, agility, and the ability to make quick decisions when necessary.

Our strategy states that our growth is based on company acquisitions and organic growth. In 2011, we will focus on organic growth for which we have a good opportunity due to the evolving needs of our clientele.

We will continue to invest in the development of our operation model, so that we can be the number one partner for each customer. Good partnerships have been and will remain a prerequisite for profitable growth and our foundation for creation of value for our shareholders. In our expert business, the implementation of partnerships is carried out through our competent personnel.

Expertise services – Smart products

Expertise services aim to improve competitiveness of customers' products by offering flexibly special technical competence that represents field's best development and experience.

Expertise services support the customer in demanding product development projects whose objectives are to increase the efficiency of the product innovation process, enhance the usability of machinery and equipment, and boost the cost-efficiency 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. Expertise services also include special competence requiring testing and analysis services by which Etteplan serves customers manufacturing trains, movable machines, motors and cars. These services are produced to increase energy efficiency and to improve emission management.

Service areas

  • • energy-efficient solutions for machinery and equipment
  • • testing and analysis services
  • • innovation and product development services for medical technology
  • • requirement specifications 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

A year of improving profitability

Demand for Etteplan´s products and services began to grow again in 2010, after the recession. We adjusted our business operations to the weaker demand during the recession in 2009, and the objective for our business in 2010 was to focus on improving Etteplan's profitability and maintaining the company's strong market position.

During the financial year, Etteplan's business operations were divided into two service areas: expertise and operational services. This organization of the services was well received by the customers, and Etteplan continued the productization of the company's service products in accordance with this division for the rest of the period under review.

Etteplan's key customer industries include:

  • • Industrial machinery and components
  • • Medical technology
  • • Steel and forest industry
  • • Energy and power transmission
  • • Aerospace and defense equipment industry
  • • Transportation and automotive industry
  • • Cleantechnology

Consolidation of the design industry, which slowed down during the recession in 2009, picked up again in Sweden, with new and even larger companies emerged in the field as a result. In spite of this consolidation, the design sector is still fragmented and competition is often local. Etteplan remained the market leader in machinery and equipment design as well as technical product information in Finland and was among the five largest companies providing machinery and equipment design in Sweden.

Increased revenue and improved operating profit

Etteplan's revenue started to grow slightly in the second quarter, and growth continued in the second half of the year. Full-year revenue grew, to total EUR 104.8 million (1–12/2009: EUR 98.7 million). Demand for design services intensified quickly in keeping with the increasing order books of our customers'. The increased demand manifested itself as design assignments and revenue, matching the development of the order books and of sales by machinery and equipment manufacturer.

Our operating profit before financing items, taxes, and intangible asset items improved, and operating profit came to EUR 6.1 million (1–12/2009: EUR -3.6 million). The reason for the improved result was that the demand began to grow and the company had adapted its capacity and cost structure to the situation of reduced demand that had been evident since the peak year of 2008. The improvement in operating profit was also influenced by our market position which was strengthened during the recession in 2009.

Demand for expertise services grew

The operating environment

The market trend turned at the beginning of 2010. Demand for expertise services, which had deteriorated steadily throughout 2009, began to grow in early 2010 and improved throughout the year. However, demand at the end of the year was still significantly lower than in 2008. Improved order books of customers were manifested in Etteplan's operations as a rapidly growing number of requests for offers. In the field of expertise services, the customer industries developed inconsistently, but by the latter half of the year demand for design services in all customer industries had started to grow. The demand for expertise services was strongest in assignments related to improvements of eco-efficiency and infrastructure projects.

Etteplan's expertise services are provided for all Etteplan customers mainly from the units in Sweden. Sweden's economy and industrial companies showed more intense growth than Finland's, with the Swedish export industry having significantly more success in 2010 than the year before. The Swedish krona increased in value, but that did not weaken demand, because the overall competitiveness of a machine or equipment designed for export is more important than the rate of exchange. Etteplan provides versatile support for its expertise services customers by influencing, e.g., the overall profitability and eco-efficiency of its machines.

Business review

In early 2010, expertise services were made into a separate service portfolio. Etteplan participated in various product development projects with diversified design input during the period under review. In medical technology, Etteplan boosted its position by winning several new customers and assignments in the Stockholm region. Previously, the majority of Etteplan's medical technology customers had been located in Southern Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. Analysis and testing services related to improvements in energy-efficiency succeeded very well during the review period, since emission control is a key area of development for engine and vehicle manufacturers. The unit that provides analysis and testing services also took part in the execution of projects requiring top-notch air-conditioning systems in 2010. In the period under review, Etteplan strengthened its operating model and design capacity of embedded systems. The number of assignments in the energy and power transmission sector was at a good level, apart from wind energy projects, whose number and overall volume decreased significantly. The number of assignments in the aerospace and defense equipment industry was low in the beginning of year but grew toward the latter half of the year. The number of plant engineering design projects increased during the period under review, but the projects were smaller in size than in preceding years.

In December 2010, Etteplan established an innovation group around the latest developments in efficiency of accumulators, batteries, and energy use. The target customers include electric and hybrid vehicle and other automotive manufacturers and their subcontractors; accumulator, and battery manufacturers; and the entire machinery and equipment industry in general. The service concept covers, e.g., the following areas of competence: battery systems for electric and hybrid vehicles, high power batteries, modeling and simulation of batteries, failure analysis, factory audits, and fuel cells. This new competence can be utilized extensively in Etteplan's customer assignments in the course of 2011.

The most significant assignments of 2010 included delivery of a Data Acquisition System (SW and HW) to Parker Hannifin's test benches, development of a new air-conditioning system for Volvo's passenger cars, and design of an assembly line for Ericsson to Estonia. Etteplan participated in several factory design projects, with the clients including such companies as Nokian Tyres Plc, Andritz Oy and Metso Power Oy, Rautaruukki Raahe, Outokumpu Oyj and BDX Industri AB.

Focus 2011

Demand for expertise services continued to grow as 2011 arrived. Etteplan's objective is to grow organically and, at the same time, strengthen its market position in all of its service areas during 2011. Among the areas of growth are design services for medical technology and expertise services related to improvements in eco-efficiency. Other goals for 2011 include productization of expertise services, investments in organic growth, and an increase in the representation of offshoring operations in the service portfolios.

Expertise services have a good opportunity for organic growth in 2011.

New demand for operational services

The operating environment

For the most part, the trend in the demand for operational services followed that for expertise services during 2010. In operational services, the most significant areas of growth in demand involved equipment manufacturers for paper machines and mining industry. However, the demand for design and technical product information services in portfolio of operational services remained low in comparison with the peak year of 2008.

In an economic downturn, expertise and operational services have different cycles as customers

Operational services – Smart way

The aim of operational services is to increase efficiency of customers' technical design and product information as well as to release customer organisation's resources to its own core business. Services are based on Etteplan's long experience and customer references in developing and managing design processes. Operational services include productized design and technical product information outsourcing services, project deliveries and supply of design capacity.

The operational services combine a costefficient 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. In addition, technical design and product information's operational services produced in Etteplan's units in China provide our customers significant flexibility in operations and cost effective way of operating. Technical design and product information services are produced from units in China to our customers to Europe. Etteplan also efficiently supports its customers that are transferring their operations to Asia in technology transfer with versatile technical design and product information solutions and localization services.

often continue with their product development projects (expertise services) regardless of declining order books. In spite of the small difference in the stages involved, the business trends in expertise and operational services follow the development of the order books and revenue of our customers.

Business review

Operational services continued to benefit from consolidation decisions made to Etteplan by customers regarding technical design and product information services in 2010. This trend was especially visible in Finland, where Etteplan is the market leader. The company provides operational services to its customers from all countries where Etteplan operates. In Finland, machinery and equipment manufacturers showed increasing interest in operational service packages in which selected phases of the order-delivery process are outsourced. In Sweden, the staffing service applies a traditional method of operation that still dominates biggest part of the operations in design industry.

The development of operational services over the course of the financial year was based on Etteplan's long and well-established customer relationships – with, among others, ABB Oy, Konecranes Plc, Metso's various units, KONE Oyj, and Outotec Oyj.

The trend in operational services was positive among small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). Etteplan has several significant customer relationships with medium-sized companies that were strengthened as these companies expanded their international business operations. Etteplan is capable of providing versatile support for its customers, thanks to the company's offshoring operations, localization services, and services that support technology transfer. This was evident in the growing number of assignments in the SME-sector. Examples of important customers included The Switch and Normet Oy.

At the beginning of 2010, a sales organization that includes Etteplan's new product managers was established as a part of the operational services. Product sales started well, and the company received several new service-product pilot projects. In its operational services, the company invested in the development of sales through training programs as well as in process and information system developments.

Focus 2011

Demand for operational services continued to grow in early 2011. Areas of growth include, e.g., equipment manufacturers for forest industry and mining industry as well as manufacturers of movable working machines.

Etteplan will continue its productization and investments in product sales in 2011. The objective is to increase the share of product sales in total revenue.

Operational services have good opportunities to grow organically in 2011.

New partnerships were concluded during the period under review

Sjöland & Thyselius (S&T)

As far as expertise services offered to the aerospace and defense equipment industry are concerned, operations involving expertise services were enhanced through the signing of a cooperation agreement with Sjöland & Thyselius Holding AB. With this cooperation agreement, concluded in the summer of 2010, the companies jointly focused on, during the period under review, high technology product development services for machine and equipment manufacturers developing renewable energy sources, aviation, space and defense equipment industries as well as car and train manufacturing companies.

Cooperation offers customers a combination where versatile expertise of different engineering areas and S&T's STARCS wind tunnel offering of measuring, calculation and testing services, are combined. Examples of potential design subjects include optimization of air intakes in airplane engines, design of wind turbines in wind power plants, and aerodynamic design of trains. The collaboration took off well in 2010, and one example of it was projects executed for the Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) in Sweden.

Intertek

In 2010, Etteplan signed cooperation agreements with the Finnish and Chinese units of Intertek Inc. The aim of the cooperation is to provide a service portfolio that supports customers' operations on new markets effectively.

Global machine and equipment manufacturers broaden their operations by entering new markets with new product launches and production transfers closer to new markets. New market entries require design of products and production and equipment manufacturing according to country's authority regulations and standards. Design needs to be based on up-to-date and accurate information of authority regulations and standards that often change quickly. Intertek can provide this information to Etteplan's customer projects enabling high quality and time saving in technical design work and product information management.

The first joint projects were started in the end of the year.

Offshoring

Etteplan continued to pursue activities according to its strategy in order to strengthen the global delivery process. The company increased its ownership of Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd. in China to 70 percent in the beginning of July. Our operations are based on high-quality design services close to the customer, combined with cost-efficient use of Etteplan's units in China.

Etteplan's offshoring service is part of the operational services range. Customers' interest in Etteplan's offshoring services increased during the period under review, and the number of offshoring clients was approximately 60 during the period.

The business environment of our customers continued to change rapidly. Increasing competition and shifting of the focus of 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. At the same time, our customers concentrated even more intensely than before on their core business. To this transition in the operating environment Etteplan brought new service solutions. Operational and expertise services in technical design and product information offered our customers significant flexibility in operations and cost-efficient methods of operation. During the review period, we also provided localization services, related to transfer of production, to customers that already have production in place in Asian markets or that have decided to transfer part of their production to that region. We received good feedback from many customers concerning our global delivery model as our collaboration expanded to encompass ever more comprehensive solutions in technical design and product information.

As its newest service solution, Etteplan offers its customers a new service launched late in 2010. Called Etteplan CSC, it combines the design and procurement of materials and components from China into a single solution. The service is aimed especially at companies in the SME-sector that find it challenging to combine subcontractor relationships in China with high-quality design and localization services. At the end of 2010, Etteplan executed the first project comprising this new service product.

Enterprise Solutions

Enterprise Solutions unit was established during the year to support Etteplan's selected global key customers. The unit's objective is 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. By setting up this new unit, we continued our investments in supporting our customers' global business.

The unit achieved results, e.g., by expanding our customer relationships to cover the offshoring service, concluding new framework agreements, and extending the contents of old ones.

Outlook for 2011

Current market outlook of machinery and equipment manufacturers is positive. The development of Etteplan's customers' order books influences quickly the development of Etteplan's revenue.

We expect the revenue and operating profit for the year 2011 to grow compared to year 2010.

Potential acquisitions in 2011 are not included in the estimate.

During the decades Etteplan has accumulated customers' trust and significant expertise in different areas of machinery and equipment design.

Etteplan's success is based on competent experts

In the course of 2010, Etteplan's personnel were heavily influenced by developments in the external operating environment. In the beginning of the year, there were approximately 200 temporary layoffs still in effect in Finland, and in Sweden the remainder of the personnel reductions decided upon during 2009 were executed. Management of personnel changes is a demanding task in a cyclical service business, and, as far as the scope is concerned, it was a significant undertaking at Etteplan during the 2010 financial year. Maintenance of competent personnel forms the key success factor of business operations that are based on expertise.

Operating environment

In 2010, turnover of personnel in the entire company was at a moderate level, but there was great variation from one country to the next. In Finland, personnel turnover remained low, but in Sweden it grew as expected while the market was recovering and companies in the design industry were engaged in highly visible recruitment campaigns. Sweden has stricter labor legislation than Finland, which has prompted design industry companies to seek flexibility in their operations through, e.g., increased internal subcontracting. At the same time, collaboration between staffing agencies and design companies in the sector has increased. Etteplan focused on recruiting competent personnel by offering permanent jobs. Simultaneously, the company also aimed to move basic design and technical product information work to its units in China. By means of this arrangement, we aimed to control the cost effects of the rigid Swedish labor market in our labor-intensive business. At the same time, we gave our employees opportunity for permanent employment.

Etteplan implemented a successful recruitment campaign in Sweden, and the lack of competent designers that emerged in the middle of the year was corrected in the fall. In Finland, Etteplan is recognized as the market leader. This is why we receive multitude of job applications.

In China, Etteplan recruits and trains young engineers who are graduating from universities. The European-style additional technical training and the English-language work environment offered by Etteplan are significant benefits that have made the company into a competitive employer. Etteplan has good recruitment channels in China, and the company is able to recruit and train whole design teams at a time.

Since there were a large number of employees laid off in Finland at the beginning of the year, a survey of well-being at work was conducted in Finland in 2010 and measures were initiated to improve the situation of people in risk groups. The follow-up study of risk groups, completed in early 2011, indicated that well-being at work had already improved somewhat in the groups at risk. Actions to enhance well-being at work will continue in 2011. Sickness-related absences remained at a low level throughout the company in 2010.

Development of the organizational structure

The company's management structure and operating procedures were specified during 2010. They were supported by the change in organization, implemented at the start of the year, and the ensuing new management appointments during the rest of 2010. Changing the organizational structure was a gradual move toward a new, integrated method of operation.

closer integration of the operations. In 2010, Etteplan's design services were divided into two service portfolios – expertise services and operational services. This division by type of services was well received by the customers, and design services were productized in accordance with this categorization in 2010. The service division remains unchanged. As services were provided by utilizing the competence and expertise of the whole company despite the division of services, Etteplan Engineering and Etteplan Technology -divisions were combined to one entity, Etteplan Operations. The objective behind this combination is ever better cooperation that transcends the current boundaries between the various units and countries.

Development projects

Etteplan continued to implement its strategy throughout the organization through electronic learning in the first half of the year. E-learning modules and an electronic discussion forum addressing the themes of the strategy were published in support of the strategy work. The financial year also saw Etteplan begin extensive sales training for managers and superiors.

Etteplan published a new, common intranet for the entire Group in the spring of 2010. This new intranet, shared by all, replaced the previous, country-specific intranets. The goal with the new intranet is to communicate matters concerning the whole Group to the personnel ever more efficiently and to support the execution of its strategy by means of a common business platform for the entire company.

In a decentralized operating environment, the development of electronic systems is a key to the success of the company's business operations. In the course of the financial year, Etteplan continued to add its employees, one country at a time, to the Group's common personnel information system, implement the electronic competence-management system, and train both supervisors and their subordinates. The company also introduced a common resource management system.

Follow-up of the number of development discussions continued. The figure began to decline slightly and stood at nearly 80 percent.

personnel structure

At the end of the period under review, the company employed, in total, 1,569 persons, 608 of them abroad. Sweden accounted for 474 of all personnel and China for 134. The various age groups are represented in a balanced way in the age distribution of the personnel. ■

Review by the Board of Directors January 1 – December 31, 2010

Business operations

Demand for design services turned to an increase in the beginning of year 2010. The growth was uneven in Etteplan's different customer industries in the beginning of the year. During the second half of the year the demand for design services developed evenly and grew in all central customer industries. The strongest improvement in demand was among equipment manufacturers in forest and mining industries. In spite the growth in demand for design services, the demand was still at a low level compared to peak year 2008.

The utilization rate of company's design capacity was on a satisfactory level during the year. During 2009, Etteplan adjusted its operations to correspond with the decreased demand situation. The adjustment measures improved company's operations' cost efficiency in year 2010. In the end of 2010 company had unused design capacity that enables organic growth in 2011 without a significant increase in fixed costs.

The amount of personnel reductions implemented as temporary layoffs in Finland decreased from 200 employees in the beginning of the year to fewer than 50 employees during the review period. In Sweden recruitment commenced in the second half of the year. The slow availability of manpower restricted the organic growth in Sweden in the second half of the year.

Etteplan increased its ownership in Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd. (EVTC), located in Kunshan, China, from 40 percent to 70 percent on July 1, 2010. Etteplan's China offshoring service's position became an established part of Etteplan's services in 2010. Technical design and product information services were produced from China to almost 60 customers during the year.

Company renewed its legal structure in Finland during 2010. The business operations were concentrated to Etteplan Design Center Oy in Finland. Group administration units continue their operations in the parent company Etteplan Oyj.

Revenue

In 2010, Etteplan's revenue for continuing operations amounted to EUR 104.8 million (1-12/2009: EUR 98.7 million). The improvement in revenue was due to the strengthened demand situation and Etteplan's good market position.

Result

Operating profit for continuing operations was EUR 6.1 million (1-12/2009: EUR -3.6 million). The improved demand situation for design services, adjustment of business operations as well as saving measures influenced the improved operating profit.

Profit for continuing operations before taxes for the financial year was EUR 5.8 million (1-12/2009: EUR -4.3 million). Taxes amounted to EUR 1.4 million (EUR -1.0 million). The income tax rate calculated on profit before taxes in the consolidated income statement was 24.6% (23.5%).

The profit for continuing operations for the financial year was EUR 4.3 million (1-12/2009: EUR -3.3 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.19 (EUR -0.17). Equity per share was EUR 1.48 (EUR 1.20). Return on investment was 17.0% (-8.6%).

Profit for the financial period for discontinuing operations was EUR 0.1 million (EUR 1-12/2009: EUR -11.1 million).

Result for the review period was EUR 4.4 million (1-12/2009: EUR -14.4 million).

Financial position and operating cash flow

Total assets on December 31, 2010, were EUR 67.7 million (December 31, 2009: EUR 61.7 million). Goodwill on the balance sheet was EUR 36.0 million (December 31, 2009: EUR 31.2 million). The increase in goodwill was due to changes in currency rates and the increased ownership in EVTC. The Group's cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 5.0 million (December 31, 2009: EUR 6.7 million). The Group's financial liabilities amounted to EUR 12.1 million (December 31, 2009: EUR 11.6 million) at period end. The equity ratio was 43.6% (December 31, 2009: 38.5%). Operating cash flow was EUR 1.5 million (1-12/2009: EUR 2.1 million). The cash flow after investments was EUR -0.6 million (1-12/2009: EUR 0.1 million).

Capital expenditure

The Group's gross investments in the period under review were EUR 2.5 million (1-12/2009: EUR 4.8 million).

Personnel

The number of the Group's personnel averaged 1,594 (1-12/2009: 1,765) during the review period and was 1,569 (December 31, 2009: 1,544) at end of the year. Outside Finland, the Group employed 608 people (December 31, 2009: 571) at period end.

Incentive plan for key personnel

The Etteplan Oyj Board of Directors decided on a share-based incentive plan for key personnel in March 2008. The plan includes three earnings periods: calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010. The plan had a target group of 37 people in 2008, 39 people in 2009 and 33 people in 2010.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICY APPLIED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis for preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in conformity with the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) in force on December 31, 2010 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 financial statements also comply with Finnish accounting and company legislation. Figures in the financial statement are presented in thousands of euros and, unless otherwise stated in the accounting policy, based on historical costs.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Group has followed the same accounting policies as in the annual financial statements for 2009 except for the effect of changes required by the adoption of the following new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards and interpretations on January 1, 2010:

– IFRS 3 Business Combinations (revised) The revised standard has been adopted in the beginning of the financial year 2010 and it has changed the accounting of business combinations since January 1, 2010. For example, all payments to purchase a business are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the statement of comprehensive income. There is a choice on an acquisition-to-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. All acquisition-related costs are expensed. According to the standard, acquisitions made before the standard is applied will not be amended retrospectively. Therefore, application of the standard does not affect the income statement or balance sheet of financial year 2009.

The revised standard was applied to the acquisition of the controlling interest in Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd on July 1, 2010. This acquisition has occurred in stages. The revised standard requires goodwill to be determined only at the acquisition date rather than at the previous stages. The previously held equity interest has been adjusted to fair value on July 1, 2010 and the resulting gain recorded in the income statement. The fair value of the non-controlling interest is measured at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.

– IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised)

The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. Profit or loss as well as all items included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income are allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and the non-controlling interest, even if this leads to the non-controlling interest to be negative.

The revised standard was applied to the acquisition of the controlling interest in Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd on July 1, 2010. The acquired company's result allocated to the non-controlling interest was negative.

The following standards and interpretations that came into force in 2010 have been adopted. They did not have an effect on the Group's result of operations or balance sheet position:

  • IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements
  • IFRIC 15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate

– IFRIC 16 Net Investment in a Foreign Operation

– IFRIC 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners

– IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers

– IFRIC 9 and IAS 39: Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives on Reclassification (amendment)

– IAS 38 Intangible Assets (amendment)

– IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement (amendment)

– IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows (amendment)

– IAS 17 Leases (amendment)

  • IAS 18 Revenue (amendment)
  • IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (amendment)

– IFRS 5 Measurement of Non-current Assets (or Disposal Groups) Classified as Held-for-sale (amendment)

– IFRS 2 Group Cash-settled and Share-based Payment Transactions (amendment).

The following standards and interpretations have been published and were in force in the financial year beginning on January 1, 2011. In the view of the Company's management, they do not have a significant effect on the Group's result or balance sheet position:

– IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (revised)

– IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (amendment)

– IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

– IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (amendment).

In preparing the consolidated financial 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 financial 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 figures disclosed in the financial statements, is presented under "Critical accounting judgments and key sources of uncertainty."

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the financial 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 profit have been eliminated. The accounting policies applied in the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been adjusted, if 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 financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Group has increased its share of Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd (EVTC) from 40 percent to 70 percent on July 1, 2010. From that date onwards EVTC has been included in the consolidated financial statement as a subsidiary.

Intra-Group share ownership has been eliminated according to the acquisition cost method.

Subsidiaries acquired during the financial year have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the time when the Group obtained control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. In the consolidated financial statements, the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries has been stated as a separate item. The allocation of profit for the financial year to equity-holders of the parent and to non-controlling interest is presented in the income statement, and the non-controlling interest is shown in the consolidated balance sheet under equity, separately from the parent shareholders' equity.

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

Subsidiaries divested during the financial year are reported as discontinuing operation, if they are real separate businesses or geographically separated businesses, in the consolidated financial 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.

Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd has been consolidated using the equity method until June 30, 2010. The Group has acquired a 24 percent share of Teknogram Signal AB on October 29, 2010. The associated company has not been consolidated into the Group's financial statements in 2010, because it does not have significant effect on the Group's result.

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 fulfilling the obligations of the associates. The Group's share of the associated companies' result is disclosed separately after operating profit.

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 identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. The financial information, which the chief operating decision-maker uses as a basis for decision making, does not differ substantially from the information presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

Etteplan business in 2010 is conducted in two operating segments; Engineering and Technology. These operating segments have the same longterm financial result, they offer the same kind of services, use same procedures and processes, have same customers and use same sales methods and methods of providing services. Therefore they are reported as one segment according to IFRS 8.12.

Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial 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 financial 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 prevailing at the transaction date. 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 transactions denominated in a foreign currency are recorded in the corresponding accounts in the income statement above operating profit. Exchange differences in financing transactions are recorded in financial 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 financial year. Translating the profit for the financial 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 postacquisition equity items, which have arisen on the elimination of the acquisition cost of foreign subsidiaries, are recorded in equity.

Tangible assets

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
office furniture 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 at the end of each financial year. 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 classified as finance 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 finance 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 financial periods. Assets acquired under a finance 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 the acquired subsidiary. 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 classification of these acquisitions nor their treatment in the financial 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 benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, taking into account the current organization and level of reporting.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets include software licenses, intangible rights and intangible assets acquired in business combination; order backlog and technology. Intangible assets are recorded in the balance sheet at historical cost. Intangible assets acquired in business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. 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
other intangible assets 3 to 7 years

Research and development

Etteplan participates in its customers' product development. Customers' product development assignments represent Etteplan's daily business and the intellectual property rights are owned by Etteplan's customers. Therefore, the Company does neither follow nor report any research or development costs.

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 cash-generating group of assets. The recoverable amount is the utility value of the capital, the estimated future net cash flow discounted to present value from the cash-generating unit in question. The essential assumptions for impairment tests are presented in Note 22 to the financial 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 financial assets recognized in the balance sheet. The recoverable amount for financial assets is either their fair value or the present value of future cash flows.

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 classified as finance leases. The fair value of leased assets is recorded, at the inception of the lease, under assets in the balance sheet and as a finance 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 finance leases are depreciated over their useful life or the lease period, whichever is shorter.

Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and

A. Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations

B. Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,

or

C. Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

The results of discontinued operations as well as amounts related to assets held for sale and recognized in other comprehensive income statement are presented separately on the face of the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Assets held for sale, disposal groups that are classified as held for sale, and the liabilities included in disposal groups held for sale are presented separately on the face of the Consolidated statement of financial position.

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 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.

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 benefits Pension obligations

The Group's pension arrangements are defined contribution plans. In such plans, the Group makes fixed 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 benefits in question. The payments for defined contribution plans are expensed in the accounting period to which they are allocated.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits 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 benefits 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. Benefits falling due later than 12 months from the balance sheet date are discounted to their present value.

Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit 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 share-based incentive plan for senior management and other key employees. The plan included three earnings periods: calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010. The share-based incentive plan offered the target group the opportunity to receive Etteplan Oyj shares as remuneration.

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, corrections to taxes from previous financial 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 significant temporary differences arise from the amortization of tangible assets 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 profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. It is valued at the end of each financial year whether the conditions for recognizing a deferred tax asset are met.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity includes the share capital, the share premium fund, the invested 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

Etteplan Oyj issued a EUR 10 million hybrid loan in November 2009. A hybrid loan is an equity bond that is subordinated to the 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 specific maturity date. The Company decides, if and when to repay the loan. The coupon rate of the loan is 9.5% per annum. 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 financial assets and liabilities are classified into the following categories in accordance with IAS 39, Financial Instruments: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the invest-

ments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets classified as availablefor-sale maturing within 12 months. Those assets are measured at fair value on the basis of published price quotations in well-functioning markets. Both realized and unrealized profits and losses due to changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement in the financial year in which they have arisen.

Other receivables are financial assets with fixed 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 financial assets; if it is payable in more than 12 months, it is recorded in non-current financial assets.

Available-for-sale financial assets are assets that have not been classified 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 financial assets comprise shares that are measured at fair value or, when the fair value cannot be reliably measured, at historic cost. Changes in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income in the fair value reserve taking into account the tax effect. When the investments are sold or their value is permanently impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement.

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 flows has expired or essentially all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership have been transferred from the Group.

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss or as other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on the basis of the compensation originally received. Transaction costs have been included in the fair value of the financial liabilities carried at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss are liabilities from derivative contracts which do not fulfill the terms of hedge accounting. Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial debts are included in current and non-current debts and may be either interestbearing or non-interest-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 financial income and expenses. Detailed specification is disclosed in Note 2.

On the balance sheet date, the Group determines whether, there is evidence of impairment of a financial 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 profit/loss

Operating profit/loss 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 profit/loss 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 financial 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 financial 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 financial 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 flows. The management believes that the estimates and assumptions are sufficiently 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 recorded in the balance sheet in the end of the financial year are 36,028 thousand euros (2009: 31,184 thousand euros). Sensitivity analysis is disclosed in Note 22 Impairment testing.

2. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

In its business operations, Etteplan Group is exposed to several types of financial risks: interest, foreigncurrency, financing and liquidity, counterparty and credit risks.

The objective of financial risk management is to protect the Group from unfavorable changes in the financial market and thus contribute as much as possible to guaranteeing the Company's profit and shareholders' equity, and to guarantee sufficient liquidity in a cost-efficient manner. In management of financial risks, various financial 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 profile can be monitored constantly and reliably.

Management of financial risks has been centralised with the Group's financial department, which is responsible for identification and evaluation of, and

protection against, the Group's financial risks. Furthermore, the financial department is responsible, in a centralized fashion, for funding of the Group, and it provides the management with information about the financial 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 significant 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. This means that both sales and costs are in the same currency, hence there is no transaction risk. In the period under review, the Group did not have significant transaction risks generated from the currency flow 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 fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, when it translates balance sheet items of subsidiaries based outside the euro area into its reporting currency. Main risk is with goodwill booked in Swedish Krona (SEK). In the period under review, the Group took new loans in SEK in order to better balance the translation risk in goodwill.

The goodwill booked in SEK at December 31, 2010 was EUR 23,587 thousand (2009: EUR 20,378 thousand).

Sensitivity analysis

Table "Sensitivity analysis of main currency" presents a sensitivity analysis in the main currency pair on the transaction and translation risk, i.e. the effect of reasonable potential changes in exchange rates on the Group's profit or loss before tax and equity on 31 December 2010. The foreign currency denominated receivables and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet on the reporting date, as well as the net investments in subsidiaries, have been taken into account in the effect of exchange rate changes on the balance sheet fair values. In the analysis, the change in exchange rate has been estimated to be +/- 10 percent from reporting date, and other factors are estimated to remain unchanged.

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 flow risk caused by changes in market interest rates.

The Group manages the interest risk by diversifying its loan portfolio to include loans with fixed and variable interest rates, and with interest rate derivative contracts. On the balance sheet date, the total amount of interest-bearing debt excluding leasing liabilities was EUR 11,235 thousand, of which EUR 4,062 thousand was in the form of fixed-interest loans and EUR 3,214 thousand was covered with a contract in which the interest range is between 3.56 and 4.45 percent.

If interest rates would increase with 1 percent Etteplan-group's interests would increase with EUR 74 thousand per annum.

Financing and liquidity risk

Etteplan Group aims to guarantee solid liquidity in all market conditions through efficient 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 cash-pool arrangements for short-term financing. On the balance sheet date, the Group had EUR 16,000 thousand of agreed credit limits, of which EUR 0 was in use.

The Group aims to minimize its refinancing risk by applying a balanced maturity schedule for its loan portfolio, ensuring sufficient maturity of loans, and using several banks as sources of financing.

The Company has two different kind of financial 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 financial statements in 2010 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 financial statements in 2010 this term of covenant was not breached.

Counterparty and credit risk

Financial instrument contracts that Etteplan Group has concluded with banks have the associated risk of the counterparty being unable to fulfill 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 significant financing contracts with leading Nordic banks that have a good credit rating.

A considerable proportion of the Group's business operations focus on large, financially 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 weekly basis. The Company strives to control the effects of increased financial uncertainty by actively monitoring its receivables and by working to enhance its debt collection processes.

The maximum customer credit risk exposure is the book value of accounts receivable.

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 benefits 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 sufficient flexibility, the goal is to keep the net gearing ratio within 20–100%.

The following table sets out the Group's net gearing ratio:

EUR 1 000 2010 2009
Total borrowings 12,102 11,585
Less: cash and cash equivalents -5,018 -6,650
Net debt 7,084 4,935

4. Business combinations

Etteplan Oyj increased its ownership of Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd (EVTC), located in Kunshan, from 40 to 70 percent on July 1, 2010. Etteplan used its option right to buy the majority of the share capital of EVTC according to the contract that came into force on April 8, 2008. Etteplan's Kunshan and Shanghai units provide the company's customers significant flexibility in operations and cost effective operating models in operational and expertise services in the areas of technical design and product information. Service offering covers also localisation services related to production transfer to customers that already have production in the Asian market or have made the decision to transfer production there. Units in China produce services for over 20 customers in Europe and Asia and employ approximately 125 people. Vataple Group Ltd. continues as minor shareholder in EVTC and participates in the long term development of the company. Vataple Group is responsible for recruiting personnel and taking care of governmental matters in China.

The goodwill of EUR 1,644 thousand arising from the acquisition is attributable to the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the group and the acquired company. Most of the sales from the acquired company is done via other group companies.

None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarises the consideration paid for EVTC and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of the non-controlling interest in EVTC.

Acquisition-related costs EUR 10 thousand are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The group recognized a gain of EUR 493 thousand as a result of measuring at fair value its 40% equity interest in EVTC held before the business combination. The gain is included in other operating income in the group's statement of comprehensive income for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income since 1 July, 2010 contributed by EVTC was EUR 136 thousand. EVTC contributed loss of EUR 91 thousand over the same period.

Had EVTC been consolidated from January 1, 2010, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would show revenue of EUR 104,937 thousand and profit of EUR 4,494 thousand.

In year 2010 additional purchase prices from previous acquisitions were paid and some additions booked, because management estimates that payments are probable and additional purchase prices can be estimated in a reliable way. The fair values of the asset and liability items booked on the acquisitions in year 2008 did not differ materially from the book values prior to the business combinations.

Additional purchase prices booked and paid in 2010 and 2009 relate to acquisitions made in Finland and Sweden.

16. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders for the financial year by the weighted average number of externally owned shares during the financial year. In the calculation the shares purchased by the Company are excluded. When calculating profit 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 reflect the conversion of all dilutive effect ordinary shares.

Fair value hierarchy

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair values that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value measurement of available-for-sale financial assets has been adopted in financial year 2010.

Unlisted equity securities are valued at historic cost, when their fair value cannot be measured reliably and they are not intended to be actively traded on the active markets. Amounts of these shares recognized in the balance sheet are minor and do not have essential effect on the consolidated balance sheet. Investments available-for-sale are classified as non-current assets as they are not expected to be realized during the next twelve months after the reporting date and selling them is not necessary for gaining working capital.

22. Impairment testing

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for determination of impairment. In impairment testing the recoverable amount is defined as value-in-use. The impairment test has been done in Q4 after budgets for 2011 were done and are based on goodwill as per September 30, 2010. The calculations are based on profit after tax. Cash flows after tax are based on budget figures approved by management for a next five year period. While defining the cash flow, 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 2010 2009
Growth rate year 2–5 4–5 % 3–5 %
Growth rate after 5 years 1 % 1 %
Discount rate Sweden and Finland 7,9 % 8,0 %
Discount rate China 8,2 % -

The recoverable amount is compared with the goodwill of the cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is booked as cost in the income statement, if the recoverable amount is lower than book value. No impairment loss has been booked during the financial 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. WACC is based on risk free interest in each country the CGUs have their operations. The discount rate is determined after tax because cash flows analysed are after tax also.

Impairment testing has been executed for CGU's where group's goodwill has been allocated. Basis for allocating goodwill is the lowest level where the goodwill is monitored for internal purposes, but no larger than any operating segment. Due to organizational changes January 1, 2010, the former CGU Sweden Operations have been divided into to CGUs Engineering and Technology. In 2010 Etteplan aquired a controlling post in Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre, Ltd. This lead to goodwill being allocated to Etteplan China operations.

Cash Generating Units (CGUs) where goodwill has been allocated for 2009:

EUR 1 000 000 2009
Etteplan Sweden operations 20,3
Plant Engineering Finland 5,5
Technical product information 5,4

Sensitivity analysis

According to impairment testing the recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying amounts as follows in 2009:
EUR 1 000 000 2009
Etteplan Sweden operations 16,5
Plant Engineering Finland 10,3
Technical product information 3,6
Total 30,4

According to impairment testing the recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying amounts as follows in 2010:

EUR 1 000 000 2010
Engineering Sweden 12,1
Technology Sweden 6,3
Plant Engineering Finland 18,7
Technical product information 3,5
China operations 1,8
Total 42,4

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 profitability (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 at the same time realized, for example, 0-growth in net sales and decrease of profitability by 3% it would lead to an impairment loss booking of 7,0 MEUR in Technology Sweden.

27. Incentive plan for key personnel

The Etteplan Oyj Board of Directors decided on a share-based incentive plan for key personnel in March 2008. The plan included three earnings periods: calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Rewards were paid as a combination of shares and cash. The cash payment was to cover the taxes and fiscal fees arising from sharebased rewards. From the incentive plan earned shares may not be disposed, pledged or otherwise used during the engagement period. The engagement period was two years beginning from the reception of remuneration. The plan had a target group of 37 people in 2008, 39 people in 2009 and 33 people in 2010. The remuneration paid from the plan corresponded to the value of about 720,000 Etteplan Oyj shares at maximum. If employment was terminated during the earnings or ownership period, the key person was not entitled to shares.

The 2008 reporting period was the first earnings period in the scheme, which used consolidated revenue (with a weight of 50%) and operating profit (50%) as earnings criteria.

The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj made in its meeting held on February 11, 2009 a resolution upon disposal of company-held shares pursuant to the authorization granted to it by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders' held on March 28, 2008. The authorization was renewed in the Annual General Meeting on March 26, 2009.

In accordance with the decision by the Board of Directors, Etteplan Oyj, on April 30, 2009, disposed 41,177 company-held shares as the remuneration for the 2008 earnings period for 36 employees who were part of share-based incentive plan in 2008. The price per share of the transferred shares was EUR 2.89, which was the volume weighted average quotation of Etteplan Oyj share on April 30, 2009. Accordingly, the total transaction price of the transferred shares was EUR 119,001.53. In addition, a monetary part and capital transfer tax, totalling at EUR 180,723.97, were paid out of the plan. The remuneration earned in 2008 was paid on April 30, 2009. Of the disposed shares 890 were returned to the company.

The reporting period 2009 was the second earnings period in the scheme, which used consolidated operating cash flow (with a weight of 50%) and operating profit (50%) as earnings criteria. The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj made in its meeting, on February 10, 2010, a resolution that there will be no disposal of company-held shares for the 2009 earnings period.

The reporting period 2010 was the third earnings period in the scheme, which used consolidated operating cash flow (with a weight of 50%) and operating profit (50%) as earnings criteria. The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj has in its meeting, on February 14, 2011, made a resolution that there will be no disposal of company-held shares for the 2010 earnings period.

Parent company's Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial 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 for projects until March 31, 2010. The parent company's accounting principles for recognition of income and construction contracts correspond to those applied in the consolidated financial statements. Business activities of Etteplan Oyj were transferred to Etteplan Design Center Oy on April 1, 2010. Group administration activities remain in the parent company. This change in legal structure effects the comparability of accounting period 2010 to previous accounting periods especially in revenue.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE

Research and development expenditure is recorded under expenses for the year in which it is incurred.

MEASUREMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Non-current assets have 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 and intangible assets are:

software 5 years
computers 3 years
vehicles 5 years
office furniture 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 non-current assets 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 corrections to 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

Postponed depreciations of machinery and equipment amount to a total of 96 thousand euros. 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.

Auditor's Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Etteplan Oyj

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors and the administration of Etteplan Oyj for the year ended on December 31, 2010. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control of the company's accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the report of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or whether they have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

Opinion on the Company's Financial Statements and the Report of the Board of Directors

In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.

The Etteplan Oyj Board of Directors has approved insider regulations for the Company. The regulations are based on the Finnish Securities Markets Act, and they comply with the standards of Financial Supervision and the Guidelines issued by the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd, which took effect on 9 October 2009. In accordance with the Finnish Securities Markets Act, Etteplan Oyj's insiders are defined to consist of insiders with the duty to declare their interests, permanent company-specific insiders, and project-specific insiders.

Because of the nature of their position, also among Etteplan's statutory insiders are the members of the Board of Directors, the CEO, and the Chief Auditor from the chosen auditing firm (a company of independent public accountants). Moreover, the members of the Management Group are entered in the public insider register.

The Company maintains a permanent company-specific insider register, which includes front-line managers for business operations, financial administration personnel, and those working for the Company on the basis of an employment or other contract who receive insider information.

A project-specific insider register is created by decision of the Board of Directors, the CEO, or the Management Group.

The Company's insider guidelines direct insiders to restrict their trading in the Company's shares to times when the markets have as precise information as possible on the factors influencing the value of shares in the Company. Consequently, Etteplan's public and permanent companyspecific insiders may trade in Etteplan securities only within a window of six weeks following announcements of financial results, provided that the person concerned is not registered in a project-specific insider register.

Maintenance of the public insider register of Etteplan Oyj is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer, who is responsible for compliance with insider regulations and fulfilment of duties to report. Etteplan Oyj's insider registers are maintained by the Company's head office, which updates the information that, as required by law, is entered in the public insider register for Euroclear Finland Ltd pertaining to insiders with the duty to declare.

Information on insider holdings

Information about the holdings of Etteplan Oyj insiders with the duty to declare is retained at the company's web sites at www.etteplan.com. The insider registers of issuers are on public display at Euroclear Finland Ltd (previously Finnish Central Securities Depository), Urho Kekkosen katu 5 C, FI-00100 Helsinki, Finland.

AUDIT

The primary duty of statutory auditing is to verify that the financial statements give correct and sufficient information about the Group's profit and financial situation for the financial year. Etteplan Oyj's financial year is the calendar year. The auditor is responsible for auditing the Company's accounts and the correctness of its financial statements during the financial year, and for issuing an auditor's report to the Annual General Meeting.

A summary of the Group's audit report is compiled for the Board of Directors. Also, the auditors of all Group companies report separately to the management of each company within the Group. The auditor attends at least one meeting of the Board of Directors in the relevant financial year.

The Annual General Meeting elects one regular auditor to audit corporate governance and accounts. The auditor must be a firm of independent public accountants so authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce. In 2010, the Annual General Meeting elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, a firm of authorized public accountants, with Mika Kaarisalo, APA, acting as Chief Auditor. The auditor's term ends at the conclusion of the first Annual General Meeting after the election.

Auditing was opened for competitive bidding at the beginning of 2009.

Audit fees and services not related to auditing

According to the resolution made by the Annual General Meeting 2010 the fees for the auditor are paid according to invoice by the principles approved by the Board of Directors.

The audit fees paid in 2010 totalled 67,032 euros (in 2009: 76,861 euros). In addition, 74,527 euros was paid to the firm for services not related to auditing (in 2009: 52,469 euros).

COMMUNICATIONS

It is Etteplan Oyj's principle to be open, truthful, and quick in all communications. The primary objective of the Company's investor information is to provide the market with information about the Group's operations and financial standing. The goal is to give all stakeholder groups correct and uniform information in a regular and balanced manner.

Silent period

Etteplan Oyj follows a so-called silent period before publication of interim reports and financial statement releases. The duration of the silent period is two weeks.

Distribution of investor information

Etteplan publishes all of its investor information on the Company's Web site at www.etteplan.com. Financial releases will be made available for viewing and printing immediately after publication. They will be published in Finnish and English. ■
