CEO'S REVIEW

Solution business and China are our advantages

In 2012 our determined efforts to strenghten our fi nancial position have paid off. The cash fl ow from business operations was the best ever in the company's history. Thanks to our improved fi nancial position, we now have the opportunity to take the next steps in the development of our company.

Etteplan's revenue and operating profi t showed clear improvement following the good demand in the early part of the year. However, the growth of the revenue slowed down towards the end of the year owing to a deteriorating market situation. The sales of productized service solutions continued their growth in 2012 and the average size of assignments became larger.

Etteplan's technical product information offering together with our market position strengthened signifi cantly following the acquisition of the Dutch based Tedopres International B.V. We are now among Europe's largest and most innovative providers in technical product information solutions. This acquisition has brought us added ability, for instance, to substantially improve the cost-effi ciency and quality of our customers' maintenance services business. We have now even better opportunities to offer engineering design services to Central European customers.

The markets have undergone a change in the wake of the fi nancial crisis. It would appear that in the Nordic countries there is no return to the level of demand we were experiencing in 2008 in the foreseeable future. Fluctuations in the market are more rapid than before the fi nancial crisis, which calls for a completely different type of design capacity management than in times of stable demand and slow fl uctuations. The shortage of skilled engineers in our customer organizations was replaced by a virtual standstill in recruitment within a short space of time in 2012. Demands for cost-effi ciency and fl exibility became heightened. This development created new business opportunities for Etteplan: we were able to support our customers' business operations by offering fl exibility and by improving the competitiveness of our customers' products. Our productized service solutions and our units in China played a key role in this.

We placed substantial resources into developing our company and our solution business during 2012. The complete overhaul of our ERP system intended to better support our service business was launched in 2012 and its roll-out began at the beginning of 2013. We are committed to developing our HR management over the long term and the results of the 2012 personnel survey confi rmed that the path we have chosen seems to be the right one. Our goal is to recruit and keep the best talent at Etteplan and to provide every employee with opportunities for professional development at the very top level of their expertise.

Etteplan has been a forerunner in engineering design in Finland for 30 years. Etteplan is well positioned to continue as an industry forerunner on its 30th anniversary year in 2013, as machine and equipment manufacturers are facing demands to create further savings in the weaker market situation. According to our customer promise, we offer our customers the best and most cost-effi cient engineering design solutions. We have kept this promise, as demonstrated by many of our successful customer projects, and I am confi dent that this gives us a solid foundation on which to grow our business further.

I believe that in the current market situation, solution business has even better chances to succeed than before. Etteplan's service portfolio has been honed determinedly over several years so that we can offer our customers the best available cost-effi ciency and top-level expertise. It is our goal to make these competitive advantages create new demand and assignments that our customers would not come to think of in a more favourable market situation.

The most notable opportunities for organic growth in 2013 come from technical product information. Our strong market position and the industry's most advanced methods and service solutions provide Etteplan a good competitive position and growth potential.

We succeeded in 2012 and the credit ultimately goes to our competent and committed personnel. I would like to warmly thank our entire personnel for the past year. Etteplan's success relies on long-term customer relationships. I wish to thank our customers for their trust and confi dence in Etteplan in 2012. I thank the shareholders for their interest in the company.

ANNUAL MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Engineering design business developed favorably in the early part of 2012, but the growth rate slowed towards the end of the year. The period after the global fi nancial crisis has been one of rapid changes and volatile development in the European engineering design business.

LARS-PETER SVANBERG, SWEDEN

Senior consultant, Engineering Analysis

Etteplan's competence area engineering analysis deals with calculations, simulations and analysis to verify the functionality and safety of our customer's product. My job is to design computer based models of the product design based on the underlying physical laws. The primary goal of my work is to shorten the development time of a product from idea to production. I work closely with Etteplan's engineers and help them meet the customer's needs and requirements. Solving complex physics problems is my passion.

Industry's best and most cost-effi cient engineering design services as target

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT AND COMPETITION

The cycles in the demand for engineering design services have become shorter while the fl uctuation within cycles has increased. This makes forecasting future demand even more challenging. There is a variety of reasons behind such fl uctuations: the demand from the endcustomers in different geographical areas varies, Etteplan's customers transfer their production, product development and engineering activities to emerging markets to a varying degree and they may choose to either insource or outsource some of this work.

The most signifi cant changes in the Chinese markets are to do with changes in the labor market and the formation of service purchasing culture. Signs of stricter labor legislation in China became evident in the course of 2012. As a result, machine and equipment manufacturers were more cautious in employing in-house engineering design personnel, which in turn created more opportunities for engineering design companies. The emergence of a new kind of service culture is also down to the aim of Chinese machine and equipment manufacturers to produce goods to global market, which meet Western quality standards.

An increasing amount of technical engineering was sourced from low-cost countries, such China, India and East European countries in 2012. This usually follows the transfer of production to these countries. In the review period, customers also established their own engineering design units in low-cost countries.

Global competition in machinery and equipment design picked up momentum in 2012. Global machinery and equipment manufacturers centralized their purchases and expected to receive global engineering design and technical product information services from their suppliers. The centralization trend gathered pace after a couple of more subdued years. Several major acquisitions were carried through in the Nordic engineering design business. Etteplan's acquisition strategy remains unchanged: any acquisitions undertaken will be aimed at strengthening the company's machine and equipment engineering competence and at winning new global customers.

We believe

that the weakened market situation will create new demand for Etteplan's services, which bring cost-savings and guarantee high quality in engineering design for our customers.

SHIFT TOWARDS SOLUTION BUSINESS

Etteplan's objective is to offer the best and the most cost-effi cient service solutions in our fi eld. Our business strategy is built on this objective. According to the strategy, the company will increase the share of project business and service solutions in its revenue. In light of this goal, 2012 was a success in many respects. At the same time, key customer relationships grew faster than the organic growth of the company as a whole. The transition from temporary staffi ng business to solution business progressed in many of Etteplan's customer relationships during the review period. This development was however uneven, and in Sweden the change has been slower than expected. We acquired new skills and impetus for the implementation of our strategy by strengthening our management and organizational structure.

Etteplan's strength is its wide scope of expertise in the various fi elds of machine and equipment engineering The competencies of almost 2,000 experts have been identifi ed and the results of this work generated keen interest among our customers in 2012.Using the skills survey and a competence management system we can better anticipate and plan future undertakings with our customers. Etteplan has the ability to operate virtually in projects in which the tasks have been distributed between several offi ces (multi-location projects). These projects allow for an effi cient use of the entire skills base of the company while bringing signifi cant savings in travel costs. Examples in the review period include projects for medical device manufacturers. Offshoring projects in China have for several years fulfi lled the criteria of multi-location projects. Etteplan will continue to work close to its customers thanks to its dense network of offi ces. Etteplan's highly advanced IT infrastructure offers a great platform for effi cient virtual operations. The advantages of multi-location projects are best realized in project business and service solutions. The temporary staffi ng business will remain an important part of Etteplan's service offering. However, this may not always be the most favorable option from the customer's perspective.

COMPLICANCE OF BUSINESS STRATEGY WITH MARKET CHANGES

Etteplan is well positioned to have a successful year of operations in 2013, as machine and equipment manufacturers are facing demands to create further savings in the weaker market situation. Customers are currently cautious of recruiting more personnel in Europe, which opens up new business opportunities for Etteplan as a fl exible partner. Etteplan's business model and productized services bring signifi cant cost-effi ciency in engineering design and technical product information. We believe that the weakened market situation will generate new demand and assignments through which our customers can achieve cost savings while maintaining high quality in engineering design. Based on the negotiations initiated towards the end of 2012 and in early 2013, there is new interest in Sweden for Etteplan's service provision in China as customers are looking for ways to improve the cost-effi ciency of their operations.

Etteplan continued its focus on developing more harmonized ways of working during 2012. Common IT systems support this process. The group-wide ERP system was overhauled in 2012 and the new system was introduced at the beginning of 2013. The shift towards higher value services and producing more extensive service solutions requires effective project business management. The development of project business, launched some two years ago, produced positive results in the review period and the resulting fi nancial gains were substantial.

Etteplan has been a forerunner in engineering design for 30 years. By consistently implementing our business strategy we can guarantee our place as a forerunner in the fi eld of engineering in the future. Our goal is also to create top-level expertise in selected competence areas. The purpose of the business strategy is to generate new structural capital to ensure profi table growth and an ability to integrate acquired companies rapidly as part of Etteplan. The business strategy and the progress of its implementation has been presented on pages 10-11 of this annual report.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

A signifi cant number of Etteplan's assignments in 2012 focused on product solutions related to sustainable development. Manufacturability, usability and recyclability are central needs of machine and equipment manufacturers. The rising energy prices have had an impact on the nature of assignments, which focus, for example, on fi nding energy-effi cient solutions for vehicle climate control. Testing climate control systems in the driver's cabins in mobile machinery, conducting energy analyses in industrial environments, and providing new material solutions and power source design are examples of our daily tasks that are all related to cleantech solutions.

Etteplan Oyj was qualifi ed to the OMX GES Sustainability Finland index in December 2012. The index is calculated by NASDAQ OMX in collaboration with GES Investment Services. This is a benchmark index that comprises the 40 bestrated companies listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki in terms of sustainability.

GROWTH, PROFITABILITY AND CASH FLOW

Etteplan's revenue and operating profi t saw a clear increase in 2012 compared to the previous year as provided in our fi nancial guidance for 2012. Revenue was 134.5 (1-12/2011: 119.4) million euros and the operating profi t 8.7 (6.9) million euros.

Etteplan's goal for annual organic growth is a minimum of 10 per cent. In 2012 organic growth was 7.5 per cent. Growth was boosted by the increased demand for engineering design and technical product information services and the growth of the key accounts. In Sweden growth was curbed for the second year running by considerable turnover and the availability in personnel.

The cash fl ow saw a signifi cant improvement for the second consecutive year, amounting to 11.3 (1-12/2011: 7.0) million euros. During 2012, further investments were made to achieve a more effective method of processing sales receivables.

The improved fi nancial position helps ensure that Etteplan will continue to be an attractive investment target and a reliable Nordic employer of great importance. Thanks to its more solid fi nancial situation, the company is well positioned to develop its operations further.

JANNE SAARIMAA, FINLAND

Design Engineer, Plant engineering

Etteplan designs industrial plants to customers in all continents. My work is to create 2D and 3D designs of power plants and plant related equipment. A 3D model helps the engineer visualize the product to be designed and how it works in real life. The fi nal product will be manufactured or assembled based on a 2D model. Each project is unique in terms of size and type, which makes my work interesting and varied. It's very rewarding to see the results of my work in real life, a fully operating power plant.

BUSINESS REVIEW 2012

The company succeeded in 2012 in further strengthening its longstanding customer relationships. Key accounts continued to grow faster than the organic growth of the company as a whole. Global machine and equipment manufacturers are looking for partners to centralize purchasing. Etteplan has continued to succeed in this development thanks to its extensive competence and service offering. Etteplan's key customers have a strong foothold in the emerging markets, which gave a positive boost to the company's operations.

MARIE HERSTEDT, SWEDEN Senior Battery Expert, Battery and fuel cell technologies

I belong to Etteplan's Battery Technology Team, which has industry leading expertise in energy storage systems such as batteries. Our job is to solve customer problems related to longevity, performance and quality issues of batteries and power sources. I enjoy developing competitive batteries and solving complex battery related challenges together with our customers and my colleagues. I appreciate at my work professional growth opportunities and the possibility to meet new people.

Key accounts continued to grow in 2012

Another purpose of the acquisition was to increase the share of high added-value services in the revenue stream. Also this goal was achieved: the share or productized services and Managed Service solutions as part of revenue grew. As a result, the average size of assignments also increased. Etteplan continued its investments in technical product information methods and expanded its operations in Europe by acquiring Tedopres International B.V. in March 2012. Since the acquisition, Etteplan can now be considered one of the largest European providers of technical product information solutions. The company has Europe's most diverse and advanced service portfolio in the fi eld of technical product information. The integration of Tedopres' service offering into the technical product information service portfolio went well and the company received many new assignments.

China offshoring had established itself as a standard part of Etteplan's service solutions already in 2011. The service provision of the China units diversifi ed during 2012. Etteplan consolidated its position as the technology transfer partner for machine and equipment manufacturers: the company was involved in several customer projects transferring their production or subcontracting to China.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Engineering design is a late-cycle industry, and within the cycle, there is variation owing to the different nature of Etteplan's client industries. Owing to this cycle, the average demand for technical engineering design and product information services remained at a good level, although the growth of the export sector has gradually been slowing down. The value of the order backlog of the Finnish technology industry companies at the end of September 2012 was 10 per cent lower than at the same time in 2011 (The Federation of Finnish Technology Industries: Situation and Outlook 4/2012). The growth of industrial exports in Sweden has been slowing since summer 2011 (The Swedish Federation of Consulting Engineers and Architects: Sector Review December 2012). The demand for engineering design services fell during the latter half of 2012 as a result of the slower growth of the world economy. The growth in demand for engineering design and technical product information levelled out. The level of demand in engineering services and technical product information remained clearly below that of 2008, when it was at its height preceding the fi nancial crisis.

Although the overall demand in engineering design services decreased towards the end of 2012, on average the demand was kept at a good level in 2012 by mining equipment manufacturers, energy and power transmission industry customers, lifting and hoisting equipment manufacturers and the equipment manufacturers in the aerospace and defence industry. The demand for engineering design services in the paper machine industry remained low for the Etteplan's units in China played a major role in improving the cost-effi ciency of our customers' engineering design.

Following the acquisition of the Dutch Tedopres, Etteplan reached a signifi cant position in Europe.

second year running. Investment projects were slow to take off partly because of the unfavorable raw material price development, which in turn resulted in weak demand for engineering design services in the steel industry.

The demand for expert services in climate technology and motor testing and optimization in the automobile industry remained good, although the overall demand from the vehicle and transportation industry did not entirely recover from the dip in 2011. The Nordic markets in motor testing and optimization are not highly competitive, as the number of players is small.

Financial uncertainty was refl ected on the engineering service demand from medical device manufacturers and varied from one manufacturer to another.

The rise in energy prices in 2012 had a decisive impact on engineering design. An increasing number of assignments were related to energy-saving methods and improved energy-effi ciency.

As in previous years, engineering companies have continued moving their operations to emerging markets, which led to an increase in the demand for engineering design services in low-cost countries, such as China, India and Eastern European countries.

REVENUE, OPERATING PROFIT AND CASH FLOW

The revenue of Etteplan grew by 12.6 per cent amounting to 134.5 (1-12/2011: 119.4) million euros. The most signifi cant increase in the revenue was generated from key customer relationships, which grew by 12.9 per cent. Organic growth was 7.5 per cent. Engineering design industry is subject to annual periodic fl uctuations. The periodic fl uctuation is affected by holiday seasons and the timing of product development and investment projects, which are mainly launched at the beginning of the year as well as in the fall. Therefore revenue in the third quarter is typically at its lowest. The development of the revenue for the last quarter was affected by weaker demand for engineering design services as well as fewer working days in December.

More than one fi fth of Etteplan's revenue was generated through Managed Service assignments, which comprise project or service solution deliveries. The majority of Etteplan's revenue was still generated from assignments based on framework agreements.

The operating profi t grew, amounting to 8.7 (1-12/2011: 6.9) million euros. The operating profi t percentage was 6.5 (5.8) per cent. The transfer to higher added value services had a positive impact on operating profi t. Higher added value services generally involve continued engineering design services with a higher utilization rate of engineering design capacity than in other business operations.

The operating cash fl ow improved signifi cantly in 2012, being the best ever in the company's history at 11.3 (7.0) million euros. The year 2012 also saw the continuation of measures initiated in 2011 for more effective processing of sales receivables.

ENGINEERING DESIGN

Finland

The healthy demand for engineering design services in Finland is based on the company's market leadership and long-standing customer relationships. The most important factor in the growth was the good level of demand in the early part of the year, the relatively stable business operations of key customers and Etteplan's presence in the emerging markets of China and Russia.

The sales of service products developed favorably in 2012. The assignments comprised an increasing variety of different services and fi elds of engineering design. In large-scale service solutions, cost-effi ciency was improved partly because of sourcing from Etteplan's units in China. Although the focus of growth in engineering design services is in the emerging markets, the work carried out in the China units also increased the amount of work carried out in Finland and the size of the assignments. The signifi cant customers in Finland in 2012 included ABB Oy, Cargotec Corporation, KONE Corporation, Outotec Oyj, Patria and Sandvik.

In 2012 Etteplan was awarded Konecranes innovation prize at the Konecranes' Supplier Day. The innovation prize was awarded for modernizing the design of rope sheave and optimizing material use.

Etteplan participated in several product development projects during 2012. A good example of new product solutions is the innovative skimmer system for oil recovery jointly developed by Etteplan and Lamor Corporation. This mobile oil recovery system is the fi rst of its kind in the world and represents a completely new, unprecedented standard in oil skimmers in terms of mobility and functionality.

The availability of personnel did not present any major impediment to the growth in revenue.

Sweden

In Sweden, the demand for engineering design services was on average at a good level throughout the early part of 2012. Changes in the demand for engineering design services at Etteplan's customers are usually visible earlier in Sweden than in the other geographical areas: the demand for engineering design services began its decline in Sweden earlier than in Finland and the growth in the economy slowed down more rapidly than in Finland later in the year.

MICK VAN SLIEDREGT, THE NETHERLANDS

Project Manager, Technical documentation and information publications

The way how companies produce and communicate technical product information has changed radically over my 25-year-long career. My job is to help our customers take advantage of the great benefi ts the advanced visualization and interactive publishing technologies such as a tablet. It is exciting to be at the forefront of the development; it makes my job both dynamic as well as challenging.

The engineering design markets in Sweden are more traditional than in Finland and the majority of the sector operates on a temporary staffi ng basis. The fi rst assignments based on the new service solutions were completed in Sweden during 2012.

In Sweden, a considerable number of new product development projects were received, for instance, from device manufacturers in the medical technology and aviation and defence industries as well as from companies in the energy and power transmission industries and equipment manufacturers in the mining industry. Examples include an assignment from Neodynamics, in which Etteplan was commissioned to design and develop a production-ready biopsy device that fulfi ls the latest regulatory standards for medical devices, including the documentation required for the CE marking. Etteplan's regulatory expertise brought several consulting projects with medical device manufacturers in 2012.

During the review period, Etteplan participated in the product development of electric and hybrid cars. The expert services included advanced simulations, testing and analyses of motor control systems. Etteplan is one of the few operators in Europe that can offer demanding climate solutions for vehicle and transport industry. The utilization rate of the test equipment in the testing laboratory in Gothenburg was at a very high level during the entire review period.

The business operations in Sweden were burdened by a high turnover of personnel that continued throughout the year. However, the turnover rate slowed down towards the end of the year.

China

The most signifi cant element in the development of business operations in China were the changes in the market environment. The year 2012 saw signs of stricter labor legislation in China and the markets began to open up to an increasing degree, which developed new opportunities for service companies. Most of the business operations in China were offshoring activities.

Etteplan gained in China new global customers, who take advantage of the growth potential of the expanding domestic markets in China and elsewhere in Asia. Having operated in China for a long time, Etteplan has expertise on local engineering and production requirements, which creates signifi cant value for the customer. In addition to large corporate customers, many small and middlesized enterprises have availed themselves of the engineering design services from Etteplan's China offi ce with the aim of improving the profi tability of their products. An example of this is the Swedish company, Krusman, which specializes in emergency showers and eye and face washes and for whom Etteplan designed product components.

TECHNICAL PRODUCT INFORMATION

The demand for Etteplan's technical product information was affected mainly by the acquisition made in 2012. In March 2012, Etteplan signed the agreement for the acquisition of the entire share capital of the Dutch company, Tedopres International B.V.

In 2012, the development of the demand for technical product information was in line with the development in the demand for engineering design services. The extended service offering following the acquisition of Tedopres was enthusiastically welcomed by Etteplan's customers. Thanks to the acquisition, Etteplan became a signifi cant European provider of an even wider range of service solutions and state-of-the-art methods. The sales process for technical product information service solutions is often long. For this reason, the impact of the acquisition on the increased revenue in 2012 came for the most part from Tedopres' own revenue.

Etteplan placed a signifi cant focus on honing the sales of technical product information solutions. Within the year, Etteplan integrated its entire technical product information service portfolio: the customers now receive the same, harmonized service from all Etteplan's offi ces.

Finland

In Finland, customer relationships in the fi eld of technical product information are long-standing ones, in which ongoing Managed Service is produced or in which the assignments are of a signifi cant size. Vacon Plc, a company specializing in the design and manufacturing of frequency converters, outsourced a remarkable share of its technical product information creation and development to Etteplan. This service is provided to Vacon as a Managed Service from Etteplan's Finnish and Chinese offi ces. The methods and solutions applied are ones that were introduced to Etteplan's portfolio with the Tedopres acquisition.

In May 2012, Etteplan was awarded recognition as a Partner level supplier for 2011 in the John Deere Achieving Excellence program. The Partner level status is Deere & Company's highest supplier rating. Etteplan provides technical product information services for John Deere's Tampere facility.

Sweden

The share of technical product information of Etteplan's business operations in Sweden is smaller than in Finland and the Netherlands. The extended service offering improved Etteplan's position signifi cantly in technical product information business in Sweden.

The Netherlands

Etteplan's Dutch subsidiary, Tedopres, specialist in technical product information solutions, offers sophisticated methods for content production and distribution of technical documentation. The company's customers are European, Asian and North-American global aerospace and defense industry companies, medical technology and mining equipment manufacturers and consumer electronics companies.

The Netherlands offi ce secured several signifi cant contracts in 2012. Agreements were signed for technical product information solutions with, for example, the North-American aircraft manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. Gulfstream will introduce Etteplan's software products to ensure high quality in their technical product information production.

China

The share of the services provided by Etteplan's China units as part of the company's overall technical product information service provision grew in 2012. Etteplan's units in China also received assignments with technical product information services being produced outside Etteplan's units, for example, in Australia.

YEAR 2013

The demand for engineering design services has taken off with a slower start in 2013 than in the previous year. The deterioration of the economic situation has not signifi cantly refl ected on the key customer relationships, although the order backlog of Nordic machine and equipment manufacturers is at a lower level at the beginning of 2013 than at the same time last year.

OUTLOOK

Market outlook

Changes in Etteplan's customers' order books quickly infl uence the development of Etteplan's revenue. At the end of the review period, the order books of Etteplan's major customers were, on average, at a lower level than in the corresponding period in 2011. We anticipate the demand for engineering design services in early 2013 to remain unchanged from the end of 2012 and subsequently improve towards the end of the year.

Financial guidance

We expect the revenue and operating profi t for the year 2013 to grow compared to 2012. The operating profi t will accumulate towards the end of the year.

Supplier Quality Engineer, Quality assurance

Etteplan has operations in China since 2004. We are renowned for our superior quality assurance expertise. My responsibility as a supplier quality engineer is to make sure that our customer's requirements and quality standards are met by the customer's Chinese supplier. I perform quality inspections and audits at supplier premises all around China. It is very rewarding to learn constantly new things about our customers' products. I truly enjoy dealing with people from different cultural backgrounds.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Our customers are faced with increasing demands for more energy and cost-effi cient products and an improved environmental performance. For Etteplan, this creates a wealth of new business opportunities. Responsibility towards our owners, personnel, customers and partners is one of our key principles in all our operations.

MIKKO KOIVISTO, FINLAND

Project Manager, Engineer-to-Order Services

Many of Etteplan's customers manufacture complex industrial machines and equipment, which need to be customized according to end-customer specifi cations (Engineer-to-Order). The projects often involve work from Etteplan's different engineering areas such as strength calculations and mechanical and electrical engineering as well as cooperation with Etteplan's engineering units in China. My work is to plan the entire engineering process with the customer and manage the project internally. I enjoy the truly international environment and our good team spirit.

We consider corporate responsibility everyday

Etteplan is committed to systematically developing its business operations for the future and observing the ethical principles and governance in all countries in which it operates. Responsibility is something that we incorporate into our everyday work and it involves looking after the fi nances, personnel and the well-being of the environment in the long run. The company's principles of operation are recorded in Etteplan's Code of Conduct available on our website at www.etteplan.com.

Etteplan's corporate responsibility is best refl ected in the services offered by the company. It is our commitment to offer our customers the highest-quality and the most cost-effi cient solutions. Our customers are striving to an increasing degree towards more competitive products while improving their energy effi ciency and environmental performance. During 2012, Etteplan completed several customer projects in which we responded to the challenge by creating a completely new engineering design and range of materials.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Financial responsibility and securing the company's economic well-being form the foundation for profi table long-term business operations. This is the way to secure jobs and to ensure that the company has the best possible development opportunities well into the future. Etteplan's senior management has a fi nancial responsibility towards its owners, personnel, customers and partners. The company has determinedly strengthened its fi nancial standing and as a result of these actions, the balance sheet structure is healthier. The improved fi nancial situation will help ensure that the company will continue to be a reliable employer and be able to respond to global competition by further developing its operations.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Etteplan is a major employer in Finland and Sweden regarding both the number of employees and offi ces. In the end of 2012, Etteplan employed 1,776 experts, In December 2012, Etteplan received a prestigious award for its responsible operations that adhere to the principles of sustainable development with the inclusion to the OMX GES Sustainability Finland index. The index is calculated by NASDAQ OMX in collaboration with GES Investment Services. This is a benchmark index that comprises the 40 best-rated companies listed in the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki in terms of sustainability. The ratings are based on internationally recognized principles concerning the environment, social responsibility and good governance.

1,094 were employed in Finland, 450 in Sweden, 85 in the Netherlands and 147 in China. The variation in age groups is even.

Etteplan has 22 offi ces throughout Finland with about 86 per cent of the experts working outside the Helsinki metropolitan area. The entire group has 39 offi ces.

Etteplan's personnel and human resources management is discussed in more detail in the Personnel section on pages 24-26.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The carbon footprint caused by Etteplan's operations is limited to the energy required by normal offi ce work as well as business travel. As in previous years, we aim to adopt environmentally sound processes through all means possible.

Environmental responsibility is an important part of our everyday activities and is best refl ected in the solutions we design for our customers. We completed several projects in 2012 which enabled our customers to develop their own businesses through new environmentally friendly and energy-effi cient products and solutions.

A good example is the cooperation with Lamor Corporation, for whom Etteplan developed an innovative oil skimmer system for oil recovery operations. The system enables rapid response and cost-effi cient recovery in oil spill areas with a mobile skimmer which is the only one of its kind in the world.

Etteplan's technical product information solutions cut down the amount of technical documentation, which has an immediate and direct environmental impact in addition to bringing down production costs.

PERSONNEL

The company's competence management system currently comprises almost 700 competence areas in machine and equipment engineering design and technical product information. Thanks to its extensive skills base, Etteplan is able to design machinery, equipment, products and product lines from start to fi nish as well as offer engineering design services for the entire life-cycle of machinery or equipment. Etteplan's personnel is also at the top of their fi eld in technical product information, with the industry's most advanced methods and tools at their disposal.

Human resource management as a development target

PERSONNEL STRUCTURE AND EXPERTISE

In the end of 2012, Etteplan's offi ces in Finland employed 1,094, in Sweden 450, in China 147 and in the Netherlands 85 employees. 51 per cent of the personnel held a Bachelor-level engineering degree and 22 per cent a Master's degree. The age structure amongst the personnel was balanced. Etteplan's personnel represent a wide range of expertise and fi elds of engineering.

In the following pages, we introduce seven Etteplan's top experts in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and China. The special competencies of our experts are required to provide our global customers with environmentally friendly and cost-effi cient engineering design solutions that comply with regulatory requirements.

WELL-BEING AT WORK

Etteplan has made major investments in the past three years to improve employee well-being. As a result, there were no new cases of incapacity to work in the company in 2012, for the second year running. The outcome of the personnel survey in 2012 shows that the work-life balance of our employees was on average good. Work in the expert organization has been arranged in such a way that our experts are able to fi nd a good balance between work and leisure.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The development targets for HR management at Etteplan are based on a both the business targets and the personnel survey. A plan for detailed development targets for each unit was drawn up on the basis of the 2011 personnel survey and its implementation was centrally monitored during 2012.

Etteplan's HR management practices were further harmonized during 2012. Performance management and personal development discussions were carried out according to an annual schedule and performance management was monitored on a monthly basis. The personnel survey reveals that there have been major improvements in performance management since 2011. On the pages of this annual report we introduce Etteplan's experts, all top of their respective fi eld.

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION 2012

PERSONNEL

The main focus for HR management in 2012 was in improving personnel processes. In the course of the year, Etteplan's career model was completed, with its implementation due throughout the organization during 2013. In 2012, an internal job portal was launched to improve the transparency of professional development opportunities in the company. The aim of the portal is to promote job rotation whenever that is possible. To create better opportunities for training and career development, Etteplan established competence groups in 2012, with members representing the best available knowledge in their respective fi elds. The groups are responsible for the development of their own fi eld of expertise and the members act as internal trainers.

AVAILABILITY OF PERSONNEL AND PERSONNEL COSTS

In Finland, the competition for skilled engineers became more intense in the review period. Etteplan's recruitment goals were satisfactorily met and the availability of personnel posed no impediment to the growth of the business. In Finland, the very low employee turnover rate speaks of a high commitment of the personnel.

In Sweden, the operations were burdened by a relatively high turnover rate. Etteplan took a variety of measures to remedy the situation, and 2013 will see a focused effort in HR management to further tackle the high turnover rate. The availability of skilled personnel posed a signifi cant challenge for the operations in Sweden.

In service businesses, national-level salary agreements are of utmost importance. The salary agreements made in the Nordic countries in 2012 have not supported competitiveness in increasingly challenging market conditions. Negotiations on salary reviews, as defi ned in collective agreements, were carried out at Etteplan during the autumn. In Sweden, the salary agreements were more moderate than in Finland largely because in the Swedish labor market culture, the bargaining process in genuinely local.

Etteplan paid a total of 92.7 million euros in salaries and staff costs in 2012. Staff costs are the largest single expenditure.

HR RISKS

Etteplan carries out an annual risk assessment on the entire operations as part of its risk management system. Risks related to human resources and preparation for such risks are surveyed annually. HR risks are discussed in more detailed under the section on risk management on page 29 of this report.

AGE DISTRIBUTION 2012

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND 2012

Proactive risk management is an integral part of our daily operations

Etteplan's risk management is proactive and an integral part of management and day-to-day operations. The objective of risk management is to ensure the delivery of customer assignments, profi t performance, dividend payment capacity, the implementation of responsible operating practices and the continuity of operations.

Risk management is an integral part of Etteplan's business management and internal controls framework. The objective of Etteplan's internal control and risk management is to ensure that the company's operations are effi cient and profi table, its information is reliable, and it complies with appropriate regulations and operating principles. Effective risk management ensures continuity of our operations.

Etteplan conducted a thorough risk assessment covering the entire business operations in 2011 and a new system for risk management was created. Our focus is on proactive measures and securing our operations, and on limiting adverse impacts and utilizing opportunities in business operations. We map and assess risks systematically and adjust our operations when needed.

In 2012 we focused to follow changes in the risks discovered in the risk assessment conducted in 2011 and to identify new business risks.

RISK MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES

Procedures and instructions

Management and mitigation of the impact of risks is one of the Group's principles of operation. The Board of Directors and the Management Group monitor the development of risks. The Group's fi nancial administration operations monitor and assess operational and fi nancial risks and take measures to avert them in cooperation with the Board of Directors, the Management Group and the management responsible for engineering operations.

Organization

The President and CEO of the Company organizes risk management of the Group with the assistance of the Management Group and a specifi c member of the Management Group in charge of risk management. The Management Group follows the major risks of the business units, and oversees the development of risk management systems and practices of the Group.

The primary responsibility for managing risks rests with the Directors responsible for business. The Directors are responsible for risk management in their business area following the Group's risk management guidelines. The Directors report the major risks and overall risk status of the business area to the Management Group as part of the monthly business reporting.

The Board of Directors oversees risk management and approves the risk management principles of the Company. The risk management actions and most relevant Group level risks are reported regularly to the Board of Directors.

Practices

Etteplan's risk management consists of a co-ordinated set of activities to identify, evaluate, treat and control all major risk areas of the Group in a systematic and proactive manner. Risks related to Etteplan Group's business operations are divided into fi ve categories, and the risks are monitored according to this classifi cation. These risks include both internal and external risks.

A uniform Group-wide risk management assessment is conducted annually in connection with the strategy process.

DESCRIPTION OF RISKS

Etteplan Group's risks have been grouped in fi ve risk categories: strategic risks, operational risks, personnel risks, IT & security risks and fi nancial risks.

According to company management's estimate economic development on the whole and unpredictable changes in customers' business are classifi ed as the greatest risks in the company's business operations. Since the company's business is dependent on professional personnel the availability of competent professionals creates a signifi cant operational risk.

Typical risks of Etteplan's business operations are described in the following section. However, the company's operations may be subject also to other risks. The most signifi cant risks and uncertainties identifi ed during the fi nancial year are described in the Board of Directors report in the Annual Report 2012 on pages 32-35.

Strategic risks

Etteplan's strategic risks are related to business development, business environment, markets and mergers and acquisitions.

Economic downturn can have a negative effect on investments and hence also on Etteplan's business and profi tability. The Group aims to reduce its vulnerability to market risks and business cycles by a balanced portfolio of assignments by clients in different industries, market and geographical areas. The engineering business is characterised by keen global competition. The economic downturn leads to overcapacity and, as a result, to intensifi ed competition.

Etteplan's most signifi cant strategic risks relate to the development of business operations and acquisitions. The company aims to manage these risks by following its acquisitions policy and applying procedures and models that have been prepared on the basis of this policy. In addition to acquisitions, organic growth is an important part of the growth objectives for Etteplan's business. The key risk in achieving this goal is the potential lack of the skilful professionals required.

In 2012 the implementation of Etteplan's strategy proceeded further well and the share of services yielding a higher added value grew steadily in business operations. On average demand for technical engineering design and technical product information services was good almost in all Etteplan's key customer industries and the operations were based on strong market position.

Etteplan's strategic risks remained in 2012 on previous year's level. The risk was diminished since the Company's strategy corresponds well to market demands. However, weakened demand in the latter part of 2012 increased the risk.

Operational risks

Organization and management, sales, assignment and customer relationship related risks are among others company's operational risks.

Etteplan's greatest operational risks are related to assignments and personnel. The company's assingments involve risk of services or performances including a professional error, omissions, or other negligence that could cause

With risk management we ensure that Etteplan's operations are effi cient and successful.

signifi cant fi nancial or other damage. In order to contain operating risks, the company applies the following procedures: application of management systems, codes of practice, and acceptance procedures; coupled with training of personnel; and compliance with instructions on management of quotes and contracts, particularly in delimitation of contractual liability.

Etteplan aims to restrict inherent liability risks by using standard contract terms and insurances, and assignments typically do not involve signifi cant liability risks. The assignments are carried out on a fi xed-price, ceiling-fee or hourlyrated basis. Fixed-price and ceiling-fee assignments contain the risk of involving more professional work or time than estimated as a result of inaccurate time and cost estimates, performance delays, disputes about compensation for additional or changed services, human error or other unexpected circumstances. Quality management systems and project review processes are in use throughout the Group to avoid and mitigate such risks. Regular project reviews are conducted in major assignments and in assignments which are evaluated to include risks. The work in progress, changed and additional work and receivables are assessed and recorded in the accounting and risk management system.

The project manager plays a key role in assignment risk management. The project manager is responsible for managing and controlling the assignment from tender preparation to fi nal acceptance. Training is provided to project managers in all of their essential areas of activity. Supervision mechanisms are in place both in large and risky assignments. Support functions have dedicated resources supporting project managers in their tasks.

Professional services provided to customers involve liability risks. To mitigate such risks, quality management methods are complied in assignments and professional liability has been limited in contracts.

The company has a liability insurance program that encompasses the entire Group. However, the insurance does not cover all liability risks.

In 2012 Etteplan's operational risks grew slightly. This change was mainly due to weakened market outlook. Improvements in the project business execution during 2012 have reduced fi nancial risk.

Personnel risks

The company's business is dependent on professional personnel. Availability of competent professionals is an important factor in ensuring profi tability and business operations. Group maintains personnel's job satisfaction and work related well-being by developing Group-wide HR processes as well as by investing in training of personnel.

The most signifi cant personnel risks at Etteplan are related to personnel competence management, attrition and appropriate staffi ng of assignments. The realization of these risks are prevented among others with the help of regular PDP discussions, a personnel data system covering the entire Group personnel, systematic follow up on occupational health and work related wellbeing as well as internal procedures and guidelines.

The HR management focus areas in 2012 are presented in the Annual Report 2012 on page 25.

During 2012 the personnel risks remained on previous year's level. Financial risks decreased due to improved personnel related processes. Market decline generally reduces personnel movement and declines personnel attrition. However, this development is infl uenced by possible terminations.

IT & security risks

Etteplan's business operations are dependent on information and communication systems. Malfunctioning or limited access to the systems can negatively affect the operations of the Group. IT & security risks are related among other things to information security, network and system downtimes, viruses and customer IT connections.

Etteplan prevents the realization of information security related risks with the help of internal procedures and guidelines as well as internal control. Measures limiting the effects of external infl uences on the systems include backup copies, fi rewalls, system monitoring, virus scanners and managing access rights.

IT & security risks remained in 2012 almost on previous year's level.

Financial risks

Etteplan Group's most signifi cant fi nancial risks are related to business fi nancing as well as currency and translation risks. The fi nancial risks are managed in accordance with the treasury policy approved by Etteplan's Board of Directors. The aim is to hedge against signifi cant fi nancial risks, balance the cash fl ow and give the business time to adjust their operations to changing conditions.

Reviews concerning fi nancing risks are presented in the notes to the consolidated fi nancial statements in the Annual Report 2012 on pages 47-51.

Etteplan prevents the realization of these risks with the help of internal procedures and guidelines as well as internal control.

Financial risks remained in 2012 on previous year's moderate level.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Engineering design is a late-cycle industry, and within the cycle, there is variation owing to the diverse nature of Etteplan's client industries. Due to the late-cycle nature of the industry, the average demand for engineering design services and technical product information solutions remained at a good level, although the growth of the export sector slowed down gradually. The value of the order backlog of technology industry companies at the end of September 2012 was 10 per cent lower than at the same time in 2011 (The Federation of Finnish Technology Industries: Situation and Outlook 4/2012). The growth of industrial exports in Sweden has been slowing since summer 2011 (The Swedish Federation of Consulting Engineers and Architects: Sector Review December 2012). The growth of demand for engineering design services declined during the latter half of 2012 as a result of the slower growth of the world economy. The growing trend in the demand for engineering design services and technical product information solutions leveled out during the last quarter of the year. The level of demand in engineering design services and technical product information remained clearly below that of 2008, when it was at its height preceding the fi nancial crisis.

Although the overall growth in demand for engineering design services declined at the year-end, on average the demand was kept at a good level in 2012 by mining equipment manufacturers, energy and power transmission industry customers, lifting and hoisting equipment manufacturers and the aerospace and defense industry. The demand for engineering design services in the paper machine industry remained low for the second year running. Investment projects were slow to take off partly because of the unfavorable development of raw material prices, which resulted in weak demand for engineering design services in the steel industry.

The demand for expert services in air conditioning technology and motor testing and optimization in the automotive industry remained good, although the overall demand from the automotive industry did not entirely recover from the low level of 2011. The Nordic markets in motor testing and optimization are not highly competitive, as the number of players is small.

Financial uncertainty was refl ected in the demand for engineering design services from medical technology manufacturers and varied from one manufacturer to another.

The rise in energy prices in 2012 had a notable impact on engineering design. An increasing number of assignments were related to energy-saving methods and improved energy-effi ciency.

As in previous years, engineering companies have continued to move their operations to emerging markets, which led to an increase in the demand for engineering design services in low-cost countries such as China, India and Eastern European countries.

The most signifi cant changes in the Chinese market are related to regulatory changes in the labor market and the formation of the service purchasing culture. In addition to the tightening of labor market regulations, the emergence of new service culture is also affected by the aim of Chinese machine and equipment manufacturers to produce goods that meet Western quality standards. These changes give rise to new demand for engineering design companies operating in the Chinese market.

In 2012 new investment projects were started at a slow pace. However, Russian investment projects helped maintain a relatively good level of demand for engineering design services.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The growth of Etteplan's key customers in 2012 was in line with the company's objective. Sales to key customers grew by 12.9 per cent.

The proportion of total revenue represented by Managed Services assignments with higher added value increased during the period as Etteplan implemented a new operating model focused on higher added value services. The share of business operations represented by Managed Services increased particularly in Finland, and was over one fi fth of revenue. Customers purchasing Managed Services achieved signifi cant cost savings and Etteplan's utilization rate of engineering design capacity was higher for Managed Services than for the company's operations on average. The move from temporary staffi ng business, typical for the engineering design industry, towards higher added value services was slower than expected in Etteplan's Swedish business operations. The fi rst assignments based on service products in the Swedish market commenced later in the year.

In early March, Etteplan continued its investments in technical product information methods and expanded its operations in Europe by acquiring Tedopres International B.V. The acquisition makes Etteplan one of the largest and most progressive technical product information companies in Europe. The rapid integration of operations and the technical product information methods improving cost effi ciency strengthened Etteplan's market position.

The latter half of 2012 saw the commencement of several technical product information assignments in Finland and China using the technical product information methods developed by Tedopres.

The turnover of personnel burdened the Swedish operations in 2012.

REVENUE

Etteplan's revenue grew by 12.6 per cent and was EUR 134.5 million (1-12/2011: EUR 119.4 million). Organic growth was 7.5 per cent. The factors contributing to the growth in revenue include strong demand for engineering design services and technical product information solutions as well as Etteplan's strong market position. The increase in revenue was also due to Etteplan's global customer base. Revenue from product design services aimed at customers' emerging markets increased well. The prevailing uncertainty in the markets late in the review period had a negative effect on Etteplan's growth in revenue, particularly in Sweden.

Etteplan's business is subject to periodic fl uctuation. The periodic fl uctuation is affected by holiday seasons and the timing of product development and investment projects in customer companies, mainly at the beginning of the year as well as in the fall. The revenue in the third quarter is typically lower than that of other quarters. Etteplan's revenue in the third quarter developed steadily when compared with normal periodic fl uctuation. Taking periodic fl uctuation into account, development in the fourth quarter was weaker than normal due to the decreasing growth in demand for engineering design services late in the year.

RESULT

Etteplan's operating profi t grew by 26.6 per cent and was EUR 8.7 million (1-12/2011: EUR 6.9 million). The transfer to higher added value services had a positive impact on operating profi t. Higher added value services generally involve continued engineering design services with a higher utilization rate of engineering design capacity than in other business operations. The operational costs increased by 11.2 per cent as a result of growth in operations. The operating profi t percentage improved year-on-year and was 6.5 per cent (5.8 per cent). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and share of result of associates (EBITDA) improved and amounted to EUR 11.2 million (EUR 8.5 million). EBITDA increased more than the operating profi t due to the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of Tedopres International B.V.

Financial expenses were EUR 1.2 million (1-12/2011: EUR 0.9 million).

Taxes in the income statement amounted to 25.9 per cent (1-12/2011: 27.2 per cent) calculated of the result before taxes. The amount of taxes was EUR 2.0 million (EUR 1.7 million).

Profi t before taxes for the review period was EUR 7.5 million (1-12/2011: EUR 6.3 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.29 (EUR 0.20). Equity per share was EUR 1.27 (1.04). Return on capital employed (ROCE) before taxes was 20.4 per cent (17.6 per cent).

The profi t for the review period was EUR 5.6 million (1-12/2011: EUR 4.6 million).

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW

Total assets on December 31, 2012 were EUR 76.4 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 65.6 million). Goodwill on the balance sheet was EUR 39.9 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 36.3 million). The increase in goodwill results from the acquisition of Tedopres International B.V. and from changes in currency rates. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Tedopres amounts to EUR 2.7 million.

The Group's cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 5.4 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 3.0 million). The Group's fi nancial liabilities amounted to EUR 20.9 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 20.2 million) at the end of the review period. The total of unused short-term credit facilities stands at EUR 12.3 million (December 31, 2011: EUR 11.8 million).

The equity ratio was 32.4 per cent (December 31, 2011: 31.1 per cent) and was infl uenced by the acquisition made in the fi rst quarter. Operating cash fl ow reached a record level for the company at EUR 11.3 million (1-12/2011: EUR 7.0 million). Cash fl ow after investments was EUR 5.7 million (1-12/2011: EUR 3.8 million). Cash fl ow was enhanced by the improved processing and sales of sales receivables.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Group's gross investments during the review period were EUR 9.5 million (1-12/2011: EUR 3.2 million). The investments mainly consisted of the acquisition and license fees for design applications.

INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY PERSONNEL

The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on a new share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel in March 2011. The plan includes three earning periods, calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Board of Directors shall decide on the earnings criteria and on targets to be established for them for each earning period. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan from all earning periods 2011, 2012 and 2013 will correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 810,000 Etteplan Oyj shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash).

During the earning period 2011, 16 people belonged to the target group of the plan. The earnings criteria of the earning period 2011 were the Etteplan Group's operating profi t (EBIT) and revenue. The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj has in its meeting, on February 14, 2012, made a resolution that there will be no transfer of company-held shares for the 2011 earnings period.

At a meeting held on February 14, 2013, the Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided to transfer company-held shares under an authorization given to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting of March 30, 2012. According to the resolution of the Board of Directors, Etteplan Oyj will transfer 9,752 company-held shares to the 17 employees included in the incentive plan for key personnel as a reward for the 2012 earnings period. The shares will be transferred on April 30, 2013. In addition, the company will pay the key personnel concerned a cash component corresponding to the taxes and tax-like charges incurred as a result of the reward. The earnings criteria for the 2012 earnings period was Etteplan Group's operating profi t (EBIT).

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Etteplan Oyj was held at the premises of the Company in Vantaa on March 30, 2012. In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors' Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Annual General Meeting reelected Tapio Hakakari, Heikki Hornborg, Robert Ingman, Pertti Nupponen, Satu Rautavalta and Teuvo Rintamäki to the Board.

The Annual General Meeting approved the Financial Statements for fi nancial year 2011 and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability.

The auditor elected was PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, Authorized Public Accounting Firm, with Authorized Public Accountant Mr. Mika Kaarisalo as the main responsible auditor. The fee for the auditor is paid according to the invoice approved by the Company.

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to resolve to repurchase Company's own shares in one or more tranches using the Company's unrestricted equity. A maximum of 2,000,000 Company shares may be repurchased. The Company may deviate from the obligation to repurchase shares in proportion to the shareholders' holdings, i.e., the Board has the right to decide on a directed repurchase of Company shares.

The authorization includes the right for the Board to resolve to repurchase Company shares through a tender offer made to all shareholders on equal terms and conditions and at the price determined by the Board; or in public trading organized by the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. at the market price valid at any given time, so that the Company's total holding of own shares does not exceed ten (10) per cent of all the shares in the Company. The minimum price for the shares to be repurchased is the lowest market price quoted for the Company shares in public trading and, correspondingly, the maximum price is the highest market price quoted for the Company shares in public trading during the validity of the authorization.

Should Company shares be repurchased in public trading, such shares will not be purchased in proportion to the current shareholders' holdings. Thus, there must be a substantial fi nancial reason for the Company to repurchase Company shares. The shares may be repurchased in order to be used as consideration in potential acquisitions or in other structural arrangements. The shares may as well be used for carrying out Company's incentive schemes for its personnel. The repurchased shares may be kept by the Company, invalidated or transferred onwards.

The repurchase of shares will reduce the unrestricted equity.

The authorization is valid for 18 months from the date of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting starting on March 30, 2012 and ending on September 29, 2013. The authorization replaces the corresponding previous authorization. The Board has not exercised this authorization.

DIVIDEND

The Annual General Meeting on March 30, 2012 passed a resolution, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, that a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share be paid for the fi nancial year 2011. The remaining funds shall be left to the unrestricted equity. The dividend was paid to the shareholders registered on the record date in the shareholders' register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd.

OPERATING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Etteplan's fi nancial results are exposed to a number of strategic, operational and fi nancial risks.

In 2011, Etteplan carried out a comprehensive risk assessment and developed a risk management system.

Etteplan's risk management review is presented in the 2012 Annual Report on pages 27-29.

OPERATING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS IN THE REVIEW PERIOD

The uncertainty caused by the general economic development increased in the latter half of 2012. The increase in economic uncertainty was refl ected in weaker demand for engineering design services and technical product information.

The company's operations are based on skilled staff. The availability of competent professionals is an important factor for ensuring profi table growth and operations. During the review period, increased diffi culties in obtaining professional staff in Sweden was an elevated business risk that materialized and burdened the revenue and operating profi t in 2012.

ESTIMATE OF OPERATING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS IN THE NEAR FUTURE

The uncertainty caused by the general economic development continues to be a risk for Etteplan's business operations. The possibility of unseen changes in customer operations continues to cause an increased risk for Etteplan's operations.

The company's operations are based on skilled staff. The availability of competent professionals is an important factor for ensuring profi table growth and operations. The company expects the risk to remain in Sweden in early 2013 at previous year's level.

Operating risks in early 2013 will remain at the elevated levels seen in late 2012.

OUTLOOK 2013 Market outlook

Changes in Etteplan's customers' order books quickly infl uence the development of Etteplan's revenue. At the end of the review period, the order books of Etteplan's major customers were, on average, at a lower level than in the corresponding period in 2011. We anticipate the demand for engineering design services in early 2013 to remain unchanged from the end of 2012 and subsequently improve towards the end of the year.

Financial guidance

We expect the revenue and operating profi t for the year 2013 to grow compared to 2012. The operating profi t will accumulate towards the end of the year.

THE BOARD'S PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTION OF 2012 PROFITS

The parent company's distributable shareholders' equity according to the balance sheet on December 31, 2012, is EUR 13,171,781.75.

The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting, which will convene on March 27, 2013, that on the dividend payout date a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share be paid on the company's externally owned shares, for a total amount of EUR 3,026,912.10 at most, and that the remaining profi t be transferred to retained earnings. It is the Board's opinion that the proposed distribution of dividends will not endanger the company's solvency. In accordance with the Board's proposal, the record date for the dividend payout is April 3, 2013, and the date of dividend payout is April 10, 2013.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2013

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated fi nancial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis for preparation

The consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modifi ed by the revaluation of land areas and available-for-sale fi nancial assets.

The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are signifi cant to the consolidated fi nancial statements are disclosed in note 3.

2.1.2 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the fi rst time for the fi nancial year beginning on or after January 1, 2012 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

(b) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the fi nancial year beginning January 1, 2012 and not early adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2012, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated fi nancial statements. None of these is expected to have a signifi cant effect on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group, except the following set out below:

IFRS 13, 'Fair value measurement', aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise defi nition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The implementation of this standard will result in additional disclosures related to assets available-for-sale.

IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments', addresses the classifi cation, measurement and recognition of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities. IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial instruments. IFRS 9 requires fi nancial assets to be classifi ed into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortized cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classifi cation depends on the entity's business model for managing its fi nancial instruments and the contractual cash fl ow characteristics of the instrument. For fi nancial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for fi nancial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity's own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The group is yet to assess IFRS 9's full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 9 in the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2015 at the earliest.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50 per cent of the voting power but is able to govern the fi nancial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto control. De-facto control may arise in circumstances where the size of the Group's voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other shareholders give the Group the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree 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. Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree's identifi able net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profi t or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in profi t or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classifi ed as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profi t or loss.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profi ts and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of 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.

(c) Disposal of subsidiaries

When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profi t 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 fi nancial 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 reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

(d) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has signifi cant infl uence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20 and 50 per cent of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profi t or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but signifi cant infl uence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss where appropriate.

The Group's share of post-acquisition profi t or loss is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to 'share of the result of associates' in the income statement.

Profi ts and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognized in the Group's fi nancial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognized in the income statement.

2.3 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. As the chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identifi ed the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. The fi nancial 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 fi nancial position. The Group's business was reorganized early 2011 and is conducted in one operating segment.

2.4 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the fi nancial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The functional currencies of the Group entities are the same as their home currencies. The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in euros, which is the Group's presentation currency.

b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within 'fi nancial income' or 'fi nancial expenses'. Sales exchange differences are included in 'revenue'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within 'other operating expenses'.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classifi ed as available-for-sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in profi t or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Translation differences on non-monetary fi nancial assets, such as equities classifi ed as available- for-sale, are included in other comprehensive income.

(c) Group companies

The results and fi nancial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-infl ationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
  • (b) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
  • (c) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in equity.

The net investment in the Groups' Swedish subsidiaries is hedged by loans in the same currency. The exchange differences arising from these loans are recognized in other comprehensive income

2.5 Tangible assets

Tangible assets, excluding land areas, are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the fi nancial period in which they are incurred.

Land areas are shown at fair value, based on valuations by external independent valuators. Valuations are performed with suffi cient regularity to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land areas are credited to other comprehensive income and shown as other reserves in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against other reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Land areas are not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

computers 3 years
vehicles 5 years
offi ce furniture 5 years
renovation of premises 5 to 7 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 2.7).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in other operating income or expenses in the income statement.

When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in other reserves are transferred to retained earnings.

2.6 Intangible assets

(a) 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. Goodwill is measured at historical cost less impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is objective evidence of goodwill impairment. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefi t from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, taking into account the current organization structure and level of reporting.

(b) Other intangible assets

Intangible assets include software licenses, intangible rights and intangible assets acquired in business combination; customer base 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 10 years

(c) 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. If any such costs incurred, they would be booked as costs in the respective accounting period.

2.7 Impairment of non-fi nancial assets

Assets that have an indefi nite useful life – for example, goodwill or intangible assets not

ready to use – are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifi able cash fl ows (cash-generating units). Non-fi nancial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

The essential assumptions for impairment tests are presented in Note 23 to the fi nancial statements ('Impairment testing'). Material acquisitions of companies and goodwill arising from them are presented in Note 5 ('Business combinations').

2.8 Financial assets

2.8.1 Classifi cation

The Group classifi es its fi nancial assets as loans and receivables and available-for-sale fi nancial assets. The classifi cation depends on the purpose for which the fi nancial assets were acquired. Management determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition.

(a) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classifi ed as non-current assets. The Group's loans and receivables comprise 'Trade and other receivables' and 'Cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.

(b) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classifi ed in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

2.8.2 Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of fi nancial 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 fi nancial assets not carried at fair value through profi t or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profi t or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale fi nancial assets and fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss' category are presented in the income statement in other operating income or -expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of fi nancial income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classifi ed as available-for-sale are recognized in 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.

2.9 Offsetting fi nancial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.10 Impairment of fi nancial assets

(a) Assets carried at amortized cost

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or group of fi nancial assets is impaired. A fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred, only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact, that can be reliably estimated, on the estimated future cash fl ows of the fi nancial asset or group of fi nancial assets.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing signifi cant fi nancial diffi culty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other fi nancial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash fl ows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the fi nancial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument's fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

(b) Assets classifi ed as available-for-sale

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Group uses the criteria referred to in (a) above. In case of equity investments classifi ed as available-for-sale, a signifi cant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale fi nancial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that fi nancial asset previously recognized in profi t or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in profi t or loss.

2.11 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classifi ed as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. Items included under cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are derecognized when the Group's contractual right to receive cash fl ows has expired or essentially all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership have been transferred from the Group.

2.13 Share capital

Etteplan Oyj has one series of shares. Share capital is classifi ed as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Where any group company purchases the Company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent company.

2.14 Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classifi ed as current liabilities, if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.15 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

The taxes in the consolidated income statement include the current tax for Group companies, corrections to taxes from previous fi nancial periods, and the change in deferred taxes. Current tax is calculated on taxable income according to the tax rate in force in each country concerned. In the case of items entered directly in shareholders' equity, the tax effect is recognized in equity.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated fi nancial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profi t or loss. The most signifi cant temporary differences arise from the depreciation and amortization of 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 profi t will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. It is valued at the end of each fi nancial 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 on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.17 Employee benefi ts

(a) Pension obligations

Group companies operate various pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds, determined by periodic actuarial calculations. The Group has both defi ned benefi t and defi ned contribution plans. A defi ned contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fi xed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold suffi cient assets to pay all employees the benefi ts relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefi t expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

A defi ned benefi t plan is a pension plan that is not a defi ned contribution plan. Typically defi ned benefi t plans defi ne an amount of pension benefi t that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defi ned benefi t pension plans is the present value of the defi ned benefi t obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past-service costs. The defi ned benefi t obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defi ned benefi t obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outfl ows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefi ts will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specifi ed period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

In Sweden and The Netherlands the Group has defi ned benefi t plans where there is not suffi cient information available to use benefi t accounting. According to IAS 19 paragraph 30 these plans are accounted as defi ned contribution plans.

(b) Termination benefi ts

Termination benefi ts are recorded as a liability and an expense when employment is terminated before the normal retirement of the employee or when the employee is paid compensation as a consequence of voluntary redundancy. Termination benefi ts are recorded when the Company is demonstrably committed to the termination of employment in accordance with a detailed formal plan or has made a compensation proposal to the employee to promote voluntary redundancy. Benefi ts falling due later than 12 months from the balance sheet date are discounted to their present value.

(c) Profi t-sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and profi t-sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profi t attributable to the Company's shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(d) Share-based incentive plan

The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on a new share-based incentive plan for the Group key personnel in March 2011. The plan includes three earning periods, calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013.

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.

2.18 Provisions

Provisions for restructuring costs and legal claims are recognized when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outfl ow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outfl ow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outfl ow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.19 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. The group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefi ts will fl ow to the entity; and when specifi c criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities, as described below.

(a) Income from services

As a rule, services are recognized when the service is rendered.

(b) 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.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

2.20 Interest and dividend income

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan or other receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan or other receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

Dividend income is recognized when the shareholder gains the right to receive payment.

2.21 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 to the Group are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease's commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and fi nance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of fi nance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the fi nance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The assets acquired under fi nance leases are depreciated and amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

2.22 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's fi nancial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

2.23 Exceptional items

Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the fi nancial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide further understanding of the fi nancial performance of the Group. They are material items of income or expense that have been shown separately due to the signifi cance of their nature or amount.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by defi nition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year are addressed below.

(a) Fair value measurement in connection with acquisitions

In business combinations, tangible assets have been compared with the market prices of equivalent assets, and decline in the value of acquired assets due to various factors has been estimated. The fair value measurement of intangible assets is based on estimates of asset-related cash fl ows. The management believes that the estimates and assumptions are suffi ciently precise for use as the basis for fair value measurement. Any indications of impairment of tangible and intangible assets are reviewed annually.

(b) 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 in note 2.7. 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 fi nancial year were 39,930 thousand euros (2011: 36,331 thousand euros). Additional information on the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts to changes in assumptions used is disclosed in Note 23 Impairment testing.

4. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

4.1 Financial risk factors

In its business operations, Etteplan Group is exposed to several types of fi nancial risks: interest, foreign-currency, fi nancing and liquidity, counterparty and credit risks.

The objective of fi nancial risk management is to protect the Group from unfavorable changes in the fi nancial market and thus contribute as much as possible to guaranteeing the Company's profi t and shareholders' equity, and to guarantee suffi cient liquidity in a cost-effi cient manner. In management of fi nancial risks, various fi nancial instruments are used within the framework of authorizations issued by the Group's Board of Directors. Etteplan Group uses only such instruments whose market value and risk profi le can be monitored constantly and reliably.

Management of fi nancial risks has been centralized with the Group's fi nancial department, which is responsible for identifi cation and evaluation of, and protection against, the Group's fi nancial risks. Furthermore, the fi nancial department is responsible, in a centralized fashion, for funding of the Group, and it provides the management with information about the fi nancial situation of the Group and the business units.

4.1.1 Foreign-currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign-currency risks related to different currencies, which come about as a result of foreign-currency-denominated commercial transactions and from translation of foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet items into the reporting currency. The most signifi cant of the foreign-currency risks are related to the Swedish krona.

(a) 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. In the period under review, the Group did not have signifi cant transaction risks generated from the currency fl ow in foreign currencies. The Group did not take steps to protect itself against transaction risks during the review period.

(b) Translation risk

The Group is exposed to a translation risk caused by fl uctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, when it translates balance sheet items of subsidiaries based outside the euro area into its reporting currency. Main risk is with goodwill booked in Swedish Krona (SEK). Currency exposure arising from the net assets of the Group's Swedish operations is managed through borrowings denominated in SEK.

A proportion of the Group's SEK denominated borrowings amounting to EUR 6,165 thousand (2011: EUR 7,563 thousand) are designated as a hedge of the net investment in the Group's Swedish subsidiaries. The foreign exchange loss of EUR 279 thousand (2011: EUR 148 thousand) on translation of the borrowings to EUR currency at the end of the reporting period is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The goodwill booked in SEK at December 31, 2012 was EUR 24,299 thousand (2011: EUR 23,755 thousand).

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 profi t or loss before tax and equity at balance sheet date is presented in the table below together with comparison fi gures. 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.

Effect on EBIT Effect on equity
EUR 1,000 2012 2011 2012 2011
SEK +/-10% +/-130 +/-137 2,160 1,926

4.1.2 Interest risk

Etteplan Group is exposed to interest risk in two ways: because of changes in value for balance sheet items (i.e., a price risk) and cash fl ow risk caused by changes in market interest rates.

The Group manages the interest risk by diversifying its loan portfolio to include loans based on different reference rates. On the balance sheet date, the total amount of interestbearing debt excluding leasing liabilities was EUR 19,183 thousand covered with contracts in which the interest range is between 1.0 and 6.0 percent.

If interest rates increased with 1 per cent, the Group's interest expenses would increase with EUR 67 thousand per annum.

4.1.3 Financing and liquidity risk

Etteplan Group aims to guarantee solid liquidity in all market conditions through effi cient cash management and by investing liquid funds in only those targets that have low risk and can be sold for cash easily.

The Group uses credit limits tied to cash-pool arrangements for short-term fi nancing. On the balance sheet date, the Group had EUR 12,983 thousand of agreed credit limits, of which EUR 672 thousand was in use.

The Group aims to minimize its refi nancing risk by applying a balanced maturity schedule for its loan portfolio, ensuring suffi cient maturity of loans, and using several banks as sources of fi nancing.

The Company has two different kind of fi nancial covenants related to different loans. Breaching 25% and 30% equity ratio linked covenants calls for renegotiations of loan terms (mainly interest) with the banks. According to fi nancial statements in 2012 the terms of these covenants are not breached.

Breaching interest-bearing debt/EBITDA (excluding onetime costs) covenant has an effect on margin level of debts. Breaching the limit of 2.5 would increase margin level by 0.2-0.4 per cent and breaching the limit of 3.5 calls for renegotiations of the loan terms (mainly interest) with the bank. According to fi nancial statements in 2012 this term of covenant was not breached.

To balance the cash effect of the long payment terms typical to design business, the Group sells a part of its key customer receivables to a fi nance institution. There is no credit risk related to the sold receivables and these receivables are not included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

4.1.4 Counterparty and credit risk

Financial instrument contracts that the Group has concluded with banks have the associated risk of the counterparty being unable to fulfi ll its obligations under the contract. Credit risk related to business operations arises out of a customer's inability to perform its contractual obligations.

In order to minimize the counterparty risk, the Group has concluded its signifi cant fi nancing contracts with leading Nordic banks that have a good credit rating.

A considerable proportion of the Group's business operations focus on large, fi nancially solid companies that operate internationally. The largest individual customer accounts for less than 10 percent of the Group's revenue. Credit risk is also reduced by the customer companies being divided among several different sectors of operation.

The Group aims to guarantee that services are sold to only those with an appropriate credit rating. The Group controls credit risk systematically, and overdue sales receivables are assessed on a weekly basis. The Company strives to control the effects of increased fi nancial uncertainty by actively monitoring its receivables and by working to enhance its debt collection processes.

The Group makes a 50 per cent reservation for bad debt for receivables that are more than 60 days past due and a 100 per cent reservation for receivables that are more than 90 days past due.

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

4.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the net gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by equity. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

To ensure suffi cient fl exibility, the goal is to keep the net gearing ratio within 20-100%.

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

EUR 1 000 2012 2011
Total borrowings 20,908 20,240
Less: cash and cash equivalents -5,402 -3,023
Net debt 15,506 17,217
Total equity 24,678 20,271
Net gearing ratio 62.8% 84.9%

5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Etteplan Oyj acquired the entire sharebase of Tedopres International B.V. located in Best, The Netherlands, on March 8, 2012. In 1974 established Tedopres currently employs approximately 85 persons and has offi ces in Best, the Netherlands and in Austin, USA. The company's revenue in 2011 was approximately EUR 8 million.

Tedopres International provides innovative methods for the creation and distribution of technical product information. Company's customers are global aviation and defence industry companies, equipment manufacturers in medical technology as well as mining and consumer electronics manufacturers based in Europe, Asia and North-America.

Tedopres International has developed groundbreaking service solutions and methods for controlled English (Simplifi ed Technical English) and illustration (Simplifi ed Technical Illustrations). Simplifi ed Technical English was originally developed for the aviation industry to meet its high standards for technical product information.

After the acquisition Etteplan's service solutions will cover all the sectors of technical product information from content creation to distribution. With Etteplan's China offshoring service the combination is unique in the area of technical product information.

The goodwill of EUR 2.7 million 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.

None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Tedopres International B.V. and the provisional amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

17. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t attributable to equity holders of the parent company for the fi nancial year by the weighted average number of externally owned shares during the fi nancial year. In the calculation the shares purchased by the Company are excluded. When calculating profi t attributable to equity holders of the parent company, interest expenses from hybrid loan adjusted with tax effect have been taken into account.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to refl ect the conversion of all dilutive effect ordinary shares.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of fi nancial instruments by valuation technique:

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

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

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

Fair value measurements of available-for-sale fi nancial assets as at 31.12.2012

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Listed shares 96 0 0 96
Premises 0 480 0 480
Unlisted shares 0 0 29 29
Total 96 480 29 604

Gain/loss recognized in other comprehensive income 14 0 0 14
Closing balance 31.12.2012 96 480 29 604

Unlisted shares 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 classifi ed 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.

The profi t from sale of fi nancial assets in fi nancial year 2012, EUR 11 thousand, is included in other operating income in the Group's Statement of Comprehensive Income.

23. IMPAIRMENT TESTING

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for determination of impairment. In impairment testing the recoverable amount is defi ned as value-in-use. The impairment test has been done in Q4 after budgets for 2013 were done and is based on goodwill as per September 30, 2012. The calculations are based on profi t after tax. Cash fl ows after tax are based on budget fi gures approved by management for a next fi ve year period. When defi ning the cash fl ow, the attention is paid on anticipated price and margin development, costs, net working capital and investment needs. Management determined these based on past performance and its expectations of market development.

THE KEY ASSUMPTIONS USED FOR VALUE-IN-USE CALCULATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Key Assumptions 2012 2011
Aggregate growth percentage year 1-5 2-6% 2-6%
Growth rate after 5 years 1.0% 1.0%
Discount rate Finland 6.5% 6.9%
Discount rate Sweden 6.2% 6.4%
Discount rate China 8.3% 8.2%
Discount rate The Netherlands 6.5% -

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 fi nancial 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 fl ows analysed are after tax also.

Impairment testing has been executed for the CGU's in which 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.

Cash Generating Units (CGUs) where goodwill has been allocated for 2011:

EUR 1,000,000 2011
Sweden 22.9
Finland 10.8
China 1.7
Total 35.3

Cash Generating Units (CGUs) where goodwill has been allocated for 2012:

EUR 1,000,000 2012
Sweden 25.1
Finland 10.8
China 1.8
The Netherlands 2.5
Total 40.2

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

According to impairment testing the recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying amounts as follows in 2011:

EUR 1,000,000 2011
Sweden 35.6
Finland 58.1
China 1.8
Total 95.5

According to impairment testing the recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying amounts as follows in 2012:

EUR 1,000,000 2012
Sweden 26.8
Finland 122.6
China 6.9
The Netherlands 12.7
Total 169.0

In connection with impairment testing sensitivity analyses have been performed using the following variables:

  • 0-growth in net sales
  • Decrease of profi tability (EBIT) by 4 percentage points
  • Increase of discount rate by 4 percentage points

A decrease in operating profi t by 4 percent would lead to an impairment loss booking of EUR 7.5 million in Sweden. According to management understanding no potential changes in key variables would lead to impairment losses in other cash-generating units.

PARENT COMPANY'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The fi nancial statements of the parent company, Etteplan Oyj, have been prepared in accordance with Finnish accounting and company legislation (FAS).

RECOGNITION OF INCOME

The parent company's accounting principles for recognition of income correspond to those applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements. Etteplan Oyj's revenue consists of software and management fees from Etteplan Group companies.

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 considered to have an unlimited useful life. The useful lives of other non-current assets are:

software 5 years
computers 3 years
vehicles 5 years
offi ce 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 at the time of the fi nancial statement.

ACCUMULATED APPROPRIATIONS IN THE PARENT COMPANY

Postponed depreciations of machinery and equipment amount to a total of 10 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.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' DIVIDEND PROPOSAL

At December 31, 2012, the parent company's distributable shareholders' equity amounted to EUR 13.2 million, of which the net profi t for the fi nancial year was EUR 3.7 million.

Dividend will not be paid out to shares that are company-held on the record date of dividend payout, April 3, 2013.

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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

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

OPINION ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position, fi nancial performance, and cash fl ows 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 fi nancial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's fi nancial performance and fi nancial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the fi nancial 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 fi nancial statements.
