Reporting
Innofactor operates on a single segment, offering software, systems and related services.
CEO Sami Ensio's review
During July 1–September 30, 2012, Innofactor's net sales grew by 21.3 percent compared to the corresponding period last year. Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) during July 1–September 30, 2012, was EUR 496 thousand (10.9%) and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were EUR 348 thousand (7.6%).
The over 20% growth in net sales was due to consolidating the figures of the Danish Innofactor A/S (former Bridgeconsulting A/S) into the Innofactor figures as of July 1, 2012. Integrating the company as part of Innofactor has gone according to the plan.
The negative effects of the organization reform done at the beginning of 2012 did not show anymore in Q3, but thanks to the corrective actions made, Innofactor returned to the profitability level of over 10% (EBITDA), which is the same as in the previous year. The goal of the organization reform is to support growth and globalization in accordance with the strategy.
During Q3, the software and systems market has developed slower than estimated in the main market area in Finland. This can be seen in delaying of purchases by both corporate and public administration customers. In this situation, Innofactor focuses especially in sales in Finland in order to keep the order book on the level required by the business growth goals.
Although the current market situation is challenging, Innofactor estimates that it will achieve organic growth by the end of year 2012 and achieve targets for full year 2012 because of the current order backlog.
Innofactor continues to actively seek potential strategic partnerships in Finland, Denmark and other Nordic Countries. The group will seek growth, which can be organic or based on mergers or acquisitions.
Market outlook and business environment
The software and systems market has developed slower than estimated in the Nordic Countries in July 1–September 30, 2012. This can be seen in delaying of purchases by both corporate and public administration customers. At this stage, it cannot be estimated, whether the purchases will be delayed until the beginning of the next year or whether the delay will be longer. For the entire 2012, Innofactor estimates that the software and systems market in the Nordic Countries will not grow compared to 2011.
The IT market is experiencing a clear turning point. One of the major trends is the consumerization of information technology: an increasingly larger share of the IT purchases made by companies is based on the requirements of the consumer market. Company and corporate clients tend to purchase software that can be used on phones, tablets and computers. Another trend is the ability of public clouds to offer software in a scalable and global form to a wide range of end users and for all devices, including mobile phones. Innofactor believes that Microsoft is a strong player in this situation: it holds the leading position in the business software market and invests heavily in mobile devices. The publishing of the Windows 8 operating system on October 26, 2012, is significant for the Microsoft ecosystem and it is believed to strengthen Microsoft's competitiveness.
For companies like Innofactor, which is strongly committed to Microsoft, this development creates growing global markets in the long term both as a traditional system integrator as well as a provider of cloud and mobile solutions. Innofactor sees that strong commitment to Microsoft brings significant competitive advantages. As the companies focusing purely on Microsoft products are typically small, Innofactor believes that they are likely to be consolidating into larger units, and this will offer Innofactor expansion opportunities.

In the new organization, the system integrator function (SI) and the software business (Independent Software Vendor, ISV) are separated into different units. The system integration function is organized into country-specific units; at the moment, there is only a unit in Finland. The software business is organized in the global Cloud and Mobile Solutions unit. In the new organization, the system integrator unit in Finland is divided into four business units: Web Communications and eCommerce, Productivity and Operational Solutions, Document and Case Management, and Third Sector Solutions.

On January 2, 2012, Mikko Lampi, M.Sc. (Tech), was appointed Deputy Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer. He has been employed by the company since March 1, 2001, the latest position being Vice President of Software and Systems Unit.
On January 2, 2012, based on the authorization granted to it by the General Meeting, the Board of Directors of Innofactor Plc announced its decision concerning a new share-based incentive plan for the Group's personnel ("Personnel Issue") in order to commit the personnel to the company and its goals. The incentive plan includes a maximum of 2,000,000 new shares ("Personnel Shares"), which are included in the amount authorized by the General Meeting and which are offered for subscription to the entire current personnel of the Innofactor Group, deviating from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights. At the time of the decision, on January 2, 2012, Innofactor Plc had a total of 29,261,800 shares. If all the offered Personnel Shares were subscribed for in the Personnel Issue, the number of shares would increase to a maximum of 31,261,800 shares, of which a maximum of 2,000,000 Personnel Shares would account for a maximum of 6.4 percent of the total post-issue number of shares and votes. The purpose of the directed Personnel Issue is to increase the personnel's commitment to the Company, and therefore a weighty financial reason as per the Finnish Companies Act exists for waiving the pre-emptive rights of shareholders. The subscription price for the Personnel Shares is EUR 0.542 per share. The weighted average price of the Innofactor Plc shares was approximately EUR 0.601 per share between December 1, 2011, and December 30, 2011. The subscription price of the Personnel Shares is therefore approximately 10% lower than the weighted average share price in December 2011. The subscription price in total will be recognized as an increase in the company's fund for invested unrestricted equity. To cover the subscription price of the Personnel Shares, Innofactor grants loans to its personnel. The loan term is 10 years. The loan is granted as part of the distributable funds of the company The interest rate of the loan is the 12-month Euribor at the time of the subscription period and is adjusted annually. The loan repayments and interest are deducted from the employees' monthly net salaries. The Personnel Shares must be subscribed for and the loans taken out between March 12, 2012, and March 16, 2012, after the company's Financial Statements for the year 2011 have been published. When subscribing for Personnel Shares, the subscriber has to undertake to not to resign from the company during a six month period. The trading of the issued Personnel Shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX) is estimated to start on March 23, 2012. The Personnel Shares are subject to a sale and transfer restriction for 12 months starting from the date on which the increase in the share capital related to the Personnel Issue is entered in the Trade Register. The company will publish the final results of the Personnel Issue in a stock exchange release around March 20, 2012.

The following persons were elected as members of the Board of Directors: Sami Ensio, Juha Koponen, Pyry Lautsuo, Pekka Puolakka, and Jukka Mäkinen. At their organizing meeting held immediately after the General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Pyry Lautsuo as Chairman of the Board.
Ernst & Young Oy, an auditing firm authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce, was elected as the auditor for the company.

The General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on issuing new shares and/or conveying the company's own shares held by the company and/or granting special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors. In addition to the Current Authorization, the General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on granting of a maximum of 8,000,000 shares and transferring of a maximum of 1,000,000 company shares in the company's possession, in one or several parts. The shares could be issued either against a payment or for free on the basis of conditions set by the Board of Directors and, for the part of an issue against payment, at the price defined by the Board of Directors. The New Authorization also gives the Board of Directors the right to grant special rights—as defined in the Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act—which entitle, against payment, to new shares or company shares in the company's possession. A right may also be given to a creditor in such manner that the right includes a condition that the creditor's receivable is used to set off the subscription price (convertible loan). The subscription price of the new shares and the amount paid for the company's own shares will be added to the fund for invested unrestricted equity. The New Authorization includes a right to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the existing shareholders, provided that the company has an important financial reason to do so, as regards the issue against payment, and that there is an especially important reason for the company and the good of the shareholders to do so, as regards the free issue. Within the limits set above, the New Authorization could be used, for example, to develop the capital structure, to widen the ownership base, in making a payment for an acquisition, or when the company buys property related to its business operations. New issue or transfer of own shares could also be used as a contribution in kind or when using the set-off right. The New Authorization cannot be used in implementing incentive systems aimed at the company's personnel or the Chief Executive Officer. The New Authorization also includes the right to decide on a free share issue to the company itself in such a manner that, after the issue, the number of shares in the company's possession is at the maximum one tenth (1/10) of the total number of shares in the company. This number includes the shares in the possession of the company or its subsidiaries as defined in the Chapter 15, Section 11, subsection 1 of the Finnish Companies Act.

The March 27, 2012, Authorization includes a right to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the existing shareholders, provided that the company has an important financial reason to do so, as regards the issue against payment, and that there is an especially important reason for the company and the good of the shareholders to do so, as regards the free issue. Within the limits set above, the March 27, 2012, Authorization could be used, for example, to develop the capital structure, to widen the ownership base, in making a payment for an acquisition, or when the company buys property related to its business operations. New issue or transfer of own shares could also be used as a contribution in kind or when using the set-off right. The March 27, 2012, Authorization cannot be used in implementing incentive systems aimed at the company's personnel or the Chief Executive Officer. The March 27, 2012, Authorization also includes the right to decide on a free share issue to the company itself in such a manner that, after the issue, the number of shares in the company's possession is at the maximum one tenth (1/10) of the total number of shares in the company. This number includes the shares in the possession of the company or its subsidiaries as defined in the Chapter 15, Section 11, subsection 1 of the Finnish Companies Act. The Board of Directors shall decide on all other matters related to the March 27, 2012, Authorization.

The shares may be used to develop the capital structure, to widen the ownership base, in making a payment for an acquisition, or when the company buys property related to its business operations or as part of the incentive compensation plan, or to be otherwise invalidated or conveyed. In connection with the share repurchase, ordinary derivative, stock lending, and other agreements may be made in the market in accordance with the laws and regulations. The authorization includes the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all other matters related to the acquisition of shares. The authorization will be valid until June 30, 2014.

The shares will be acquired by using company's unrestricted equity, at the market price on the time of purchase, in the public trading maintained by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd, and in accordance with the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd and Euroclear Oy regulations and guidelines for acquisition of own shares.
At its meeting on August 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of Innofactor Plc decided to increase the equity of Innofactor Software Ltd, a subsidiary of the group, by EUR 5,000,000. The equity was increased by having Innofactor Software Ltd offer new shares to Innofactor Plc for subscription at a total subscription price of EUR 5,000,000, of which EUR 4,988,000 was recorded in Innofactor Software Ltd's fund for invested unrestricted equity and EUR 12,000 in the share capital. The subscription price was fully paid through an offset of EUR 5,000,000 of Innofactor Plc's receivables from Innofactor Software Ltd. Innofactor group's business operations in Finland are centralized into Innofactor Software Ltd. The amount of Innofactor Software Ltd's equity will be significant particularly for certain public-sector procurement contracts, where it may be considered as one of the grounds for awarding a contract.

Short term risks and uncertainty factors
Innofactor's operations, finances and shares involve risks that may be significant for the company and its share value. These risks are assessed by the Board of Directors four times a year as part of the strategy and business planning process. The risks in their entirety are published in the financial statement and the interim reports only introduce changes in the short term risks.
Risks related to operations
For the entire 2012, Innofactor estimates that the software and systems market in the Nordic Countries will not grow. This may mean that purchases of both corporate and public administration customers may be postponed on Q4. In this situation, Innofactor strives to lessen this operational risk by focusing on sales especially in Finland, to keep the order book on a sufficient level as regards the business operations.
There have been no significant changes in Innofactor's short-term operational risks and uncertainty factors during the review period nor are any expected.

Acquisitions and changes in the group structure
On June 25, 2012, Innofactor signed a contract on acquiring the entire share capital of the Danish company Bridgeconsulting A/S from its management. 3% of the shares were acquired directly and the rest, 97%, were acquired by acquiring the entire share capital of Bridgeconsulting Holding ApS. Bridgeconsulting was the leading Danish IT services company focusing on producing Business Intelligence solutions based on Microsoft technology. The acquisition supports Innofactor's growth strategy announced in 2011. Innofactor's strategic goal is to grow both organically and through mergers and acquisitions and to become the largest provider of Microsoft-based solutions in the Nordic Countries.
Bridgeconsulting is focused on providing Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing and Corporate Performance Management solutions. The company is a highly ranked Microsoft partner in Business Intelligence, and has been awarded as the Microsoft's Business Intelligence partner of the year in Denmark in 2009 and 2010. Bridgeconsulting's customers include large Danish organizations both in the public and private sector, including companies like SAS, Unicef, TDC, DONG Energy, Ministry of Environment, and Copenhagen Municipality. The company's net sales for the last fiscal year (October 2010–September 2011) were approximately EUR 3.28 million (growth of 18%) and the operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was approximately EUR 0.14 million. The company employs approximately 25 people in Copenhagen, Denmark. The management and employees of Bridgeconsulting were transferred into the Innofactor group as existing employees. Bridgeconsulting and its financial information have been consolidated into the Innofactor group starting from July 2012, on the basis of the acquisition closing date, July 5, 2012. The company's current financial period (started in October 2011) has been extended, so it will end on December 31, 2012. The acquisition price will depend on Bridgeconsulting's realized EBITDA of the 12 months following the acquisition (July 2012–June 2013). The acquisition price will be paid in Danish kroner and in Innofactor Plc shares and is estimated to be approximately EUR 2.0 million. It was agreed that the minimum purchase price shall be approximately EUR 1.6 million and the maximum purchase price shall be approximately EUR 3.0 million. Approximately EUR 1.26 million of the acquisition price was paid in cash at the beginning of July 2012 and the rest is planned to be paid with Innofactor Plc's shares during the second half of 2013. The cash part of the transaction was financed with a bank loan of EUR 1.25 million. 75% of the shares are subject to transfer restrictions, which are gradually released during a period of 36 months starting from the date of the final purchase price payment in shares.
The name of Bridgeconsulting A/S has been changed to Innofactor A/S.

Financial statement summary and appendixes January 1–September 30, 2012 (IFRS)
Drafting principles
This interim report has been drafted in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim financial reporting standard. The interim report adheres to the same drafting principles and calculation methods as the last annual financial statement. The principles for calculating the key figures and the calculation formulas have not been changed and they have been presented in the financial report 2011. The figures include the figures for the acquired Danish company Innofactor A/S (former Bridgeconsulting A/S) as of July 1, 2012.
Drafting a financial statement in accordance with the IFRS standards requires the management of Innofactor to use estimates and presuppositions, which affect the amounts of assets and debts at the time of drafting the balance sheet and the amounts of earnings and costs for the review period. Additionally, deliberation is needed in applying the drafting principles for a financial statement. As estimates and presuppositions are based on the views held at the time of drafting the statement, they contain risks and uncertainty factors. The actual figures may deviate from the estimates and presuppositions. The figures of the profit and loss statement and the balance sheet are figures for the group. The figures of the statement have been rounded, so the sum of individual figures may differ from the sum presented.
The figures in the interim report have not been audited.

The preliminary acquisition cost calculation for Bridgeconsulting A/S (current Innofactor A/S)
On June 25, 2012, Innofactor Plc signed an agreement on acquiring the entire share capital of the Danish company Bridgeconsulting A/S from the company's management (3% of shares were purchased directly and 97% indirectly by acquiring the entire share capital of Bridgeconsulting Holding Aps). The name of Bridgeconsulting A/S has been changed to Innofactor A/S.
The acquisition price will depend on Bridgeconsulting's realized EBITDA of the 12 months following the acquisition (July 1, 2012–June 30, 2013). The acquisition price will be paid in Danish kroner and in Innofactor Plc shares and the total price is estimated to be approximately EUR 2.0 million. It was agreed that the minimum purchase price shall be approximately EUR 1.6 million and the maximum purchase price approximately EUR 3.0 million. Approximately EUR 1.26 million of the acquisition price was paid in cash at the beginning of July 2012 and the rest is planned to be paid with Innofactor Plc's shares during the second half of 2013.
The figures of Innofactor A/S have been consolidated into the Innofactor group as of July 1, 2012. In the preliminary acquisition cost calculation, an acquisition price of EUR 2,018 thousand has been used.
The values of the acquired assets and liabilities on the acquisition date were as follows:
| Values registered for consolidation (EUR thousand) | |
|---|---|
| Tangible assets | 63 |
| Intangible assets | 435 |
| Trade and other receivables | 874 |
| Total assets | 1,372 |
| Financing liabilities | 258 |
| Other liabilities | 532 |
| Liabilities total | 790 |
| Net assets | 582 |

| Goodwill | 1,435 |
| Acquisition price paid in cash | 1,260 |
| Cash funds of the acquired subsidiary | 0 |
| Effect on cash flow | -1,260 |
The value of the customer contracts and the related customer relationships included in the intangible assets (EUR 435 thousand) has been defined on the basis of the estimated life time of customer relationships and the discounted net cash flows resulting from current customer relationships.
The acquisition created goodwill value of EUR 1,435 thousand. The goodwill value is based on the expected synergy benefits arising from the acquisition of Innofactor A/S and on making use of the common sales and marketing network in the group and expanding customer relationships.
