* The figures include one-off costs related to the relisting and the
consolidation of shares to the amount of about EUR 200 thousand during January
1-March 31, 2011, and to the amount of about EUR 100 thousand during April
1-June 30, 2011.

** The percentages for the return on equity and return on investment have been
adjusted to correspond with the figures for a 12-month period.

*** There are no comparison data for the corresponding review period in 2010 as
Innofactor did not draft comparable interim reports in 2010 due to the reverse
acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3.

**** The number of shares before December 27, 2010, presented in the table has
been calculated from the number of Innofactor Oy shares due to the reverse
acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3. In accordance with the decision of the
Innofactor Plc's Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2011, twenty old shares
were consolidated into one new share (registered in the Trade Register on May
7, 2011), which reduced the total number of shares to 1/20 of the previous
number. The key figures presented in the table have been adjusted to correspond
with the current number of shares.

Reporting

Innofactor Plc operates on a single segment and mainly in Finland, offering
software, systems and related services. No distribution of net sales or
earnings by segment or geographical area is therefore presented.

CEO Sami Ensio's review:

During July 1-September 30, 2011, Innofactor's net sales grew by 71.8 percent
from the corresponding period last year. Organic growth during July 1-September
30, 2011, was about 32.6 percent and inorganic growth about 39.2 percent due to
the acquisition of Westend ICT. Growth for the whole year is expected to be
about 70%.

Research and development continued to focus on new versions of old products and
on Innofactor's first cloud solutions. Research and development costs
recognized in the profit and loss statement were EUR 468 thousand during July
1-September 30, 2011 (there is no comparison figure available for the same
period in 2010; total research and development costs in 2010 were EUR 1,173
thousand).

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) during July
1-September 30, 2011, were EUR 412 thousand (10.9%) and operating profit (EBIT)
were EUR 280 thousand (7.4%).

In May 2011, the company launched a cost-effectiveness program, which places
special emphasis on unifying and improving practices related to project
management and resource allocation and cutting other business costs. Other
operating expenses on the period of July 1-September 30, 2011, were EUR 675
thousand, which is EUR 346 thousand less than in the previous quarter of April
1-June 30, 2011. The share of other operating expenses of the net sales during
July 1-September 30, 2011, decreased to about 17.9 percent, whereas in the
previous year, during July 1-September 30, 2010, it was about 20.4 percent.
Profitability for the rest of the year is expected to improve due to our strong
order book and the planned decrease in research and development from the first
half of the year.

Innofactor continues to seek potential strategic partnerships in Finland and
neighboring countries. The group will seek growth, which can be organic or
based on mergers or acquisitions.

Market outlook and business environment

In June 2011, Innofactor was awarded the Microsoft Country Partner of the Year,
which reinforced the company's position as one of Microsoft's key partners in
Finland. This has also given the company positive publicity outside of Finland.

On July 10, 2011, at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Los Angeles,
USA, Innofactor launched its new cloud services. These services drew a fair
amount of attention, and Innofactor believes there is a significant
international market for them.

Regardless of the uncertain financial situation, Innofactor's short-term market
outlook is fairly positive. The current market situation is uncertain and,
thus, Innofactor will not comment on the long-term outlook.
