CEO's Review

I will always look back on 2011 as the year Technopolis showed what it's made of. Like everybody else, we had to cope with the aftermath of the 2008 meltdown. We weathered the seizing up of the financial markets, the deep recession that followed and the industry restructuring that followed that. We streamlined. We focused. We invested in our sales and service processes. We protected our occupancies. That was our short-term survival strategy. And it worked.

We had a long-term strategy too. We wanted to accelerate the diversification of our customer portfolio, as well as continue geographic diversification, but without giving up our tight focus on smart business centers. So we kept on investing. These included classic expansions of existing centers, as well as new types of projects in the health care and educational sectors. It also meant pushing forward in St. Petersburg and going ahead with the acquisition of our Estonian subsidiary in 2010.

In 2011 Technopolis began reaping the benefits of those investments starting with the company's financial performance. In 2011 net sales increased to EUR 92.8 million and EBITDA to EUR 47.5 million. The EBITDA level remained stable at 51.2% of net sales but improved by 14.8% and net sales by 14.4% compared to 2010.

Net Sales, EUR million Liikevaihto, milj. euroa Käyttökate, milj. euroa

EBITDA, EUR million

Technopolis made good progress in executing its long-term strategy too. We successfully managed the restructuring of our customer portfolio in Oulu. We launched new growth projects within existing campuses. We completed and filled Pulkovo I in St. Petersburg – proving that Technopolis can successfully transplant its concept abroad. We successfully managed the integration of our Estonian subsidiary and made the joint venture work. Its strong financial performance made a significant contribution to the Group's overall EBITDA growth.

While all of this was happening Technopolis was also completing one small revolution and starting another. The successful launch of the Technopolis Finnmedi Center with its Patient Hotel and Eye Center will create a completely new

template that we intend to replicate elsewhere. The framework agreement with the Savonia University of Applied science in Kuopio, if fully implemented, will be the first time in Finland that an entire university campus is integrated into a business park. These new sectors will balance Technopolis' portfolio and strengthen its service offering.

I'm proud of Technopolis' 2011 financial performance, of the talented and dedicated teams that made it possible and of our Board that had the wisdom and courage to set the company on the right path in the midst of a global economic crisis. And although we're not quite out of the woods yet, I'm certain that Technopolis is headed in the right direction and I'm confident about our prospects for 2012.

Technopolis' business idea is to combine premises and services into a carefully thought-out offering that supports the growth and success of customers. We continuously invest in the concept so that it can be seen in practice and the consistently high quality of services.

We measure our success with quarterly customer satisfaction surveys in which the decision-makers and contact persons in customer companies evaluate the different functions of Technopolis on a scale of 1 to 5.

Customer satisfaction is high. The customer surveys in 2011 brought high scores for Technopolis reception, staff, location and customer confidence in the growth of their business within

Healthcare is a strong future sector, and its significance is growing all the time. "

A Diversified Customer Portfolio to Underpin Growth

The Patient Hotel serves the patients of the Tampere University Hospital, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the Finnmedi campus. It also offers the Eye Center patient reception services, for example, and additional beds for the inpatient ward, if necessary.

Insiders

Technopolis complies with the insider guidelines issued by the Helsinki Stock Exchange, in addition to which Technopolis has prepared its own insider guidelines to specify company-specific insider administration procedures and policies.

At Technopolis, statutory insiders with the duty to declare include the members of the Board of Directors, the CEO and his deputy, the company's responsible auditor, and members of the Management Team as companyspecified other members of the senior management. Information on the shareholdings and trading of these statutory insiders and their related parties is public. Information on the shareholdings and trading of statutory insiders is available on the company's website at www.technopolis.fi/for\_investors.

Technopolis' permanent, non-public, company-specific insider register includes persons who, on the basis of their position, employment or other contractual duties, regularly receive insider information. At Technopolis, such persons include the secretaries and assistants of the Board members, of the CEO and the Management Team members, persons who are responsible for the company's finances and financial reporting, financing, investment and development activity, Group communications and investor relations, legal affairs, IT functions and internal audit.

The company also keeps "project-specific" insider registers as necessary as part of the company-specific insider register on such confidentially prepared matters or arrangements which can be considered projects in accordance with the criteria specified in the rules of the Helsinki Stock Exchange and which, should they materialize, could have a significant impact on the value of Technopolis shares.

The insider register of Technopolis, both with regard to statutory insiders with the duty to declare and permanent company-specific insiders, is maintained in Euroclear Finland Ltd's NetSire system. The company's project-specific registers are maintained by the company.

Technopolis recommends that its statutory and permanent company-specific insiders make long-term investments in securities issued by the company and that trading be timed to take place at a time when the market has as comprehensive information as possible on matters influencing the value of the shares. The company's statutory and permanent company-specific insiders are required to always ask the company's person in charge of insider administration for an assessment of the compliance of the transaction with law and guidelines prior to trading. The company's statutory insiders or insiders included in the permanent company-specific insider register may not trade in Technopolis shares or securities entitling them to subscribe for shares for a period of 21 days preceding the publication of the company's financial statements or interim report. The company has the information entered in the register checked by the statutory insiders entered in the public insider register at least once a year and supervises trading by insiders on the basis of Euroclear Finland Ltd's register data on an annual basis.

Internal control, risk management and internal audit

Risk management is part of the company's internal control. The purpose of risk management is to ensure the achievement of the company's business objectives and identify, evaluate and measure significant risks and uncertainties, as well as monitoring them as part of the day-to-day management of business operations.

The Technopolis Board of Directors regularly monitors and evaluates risks related to the company's business operations and the business environment and reports on them in accordance with the legislation and other regulations applicable to the company.

As part of risk management, the efficiency of the company's internal control and risk management processes is evaluated by way of internal audits. In addition to the statutory audit, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors annually specify an audit plan concerning the various functions and processes of the company. The audit functions pursuant to this plan are organized to be carried out separately from the company's statutory audit so that the persons employed by the audit firm who conduct the internal audit may not be the same persons responsible for the company's actual audit. The audit is reported on to the CEO, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

In the annual report, a description on internal control and risk management can be found in the Board of Directors' report on page 49 and the notes to the financial statements on page 68. During the financial period, detailed information on risk management is available in the most recent Interim Report.

Auditor

According to the Articles of Association, Technopolis Plc has one auditor, appointed by the General Meeting. If the auditor is not an audit firm, a deputy auditor must also be appointed. Both the auditor and the possible deputy auditor must be auditors or audit firms authorized by the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland. The terms of office of the auditor and the deputy auditor expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting that first follows their election.

The Annual General Meeting held on March 30, 2011, re-elected KPMG Oy Ab, authorized public accountants, as the auditor of the company.

Keith Silverang, CEO:

"Technopolis' operations developed favorably in 2011. Our net sales increased to EUR 92.8 million and EBITDA to EUR 47.5 million. EBITDA level remained stable, amounting to 51.2% of net sales. Compared to the previous year, EBITDA improved by 14.8% and net sales by 14.4%. The company's estimate for the year 2011 net sales and EBITDA growth was 11-13 %.The favorable development was primarily the result of a higher occupancy rate, increase in rents and commissioning of facilities.

One of our key strategic objectives is to strengthen the contribution of health and education sector services. Currently, it accounts for approximately 18% of net sales. During 2011, we opened a healthcare innovation center with a patient hotel and eye center in Finnmedi. It has met an enthusiastic reception on the market, and there is interest in the duplicable concept also elsewhere in Finland. Also, the cooperation with Savonia University of Applied Sciences in Kuopio has progressed favorably, and their functions have moved to 2,500 square meters of our premises in 2011. In accordance with a frame agreement signed in 2011, the floor area may increase to 33,000 square meters by the end of 2015. Technopolis Ülemiste concluded a tenyear agreement with the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, which enabled the start-up of the joint venture's first growth project. In St. Petersburg, first phase of Technopolis Pulkovo is full, and the growth prospects are promising.

The European debt crisis sets its own challenges, but the company's financing is in order and we are confident about the year 2012."

Business Environment

In Finland, the situation in the office rental market has been stable throughout 2011. Occupancy rates of offices have increased steadily in the Helsinki region, but new office buildings to be completed shortly may result in an increase in vacancy rates. The St. Petersburg office market has picked up and the ruble-denominated rent level has

remained steady during the year. In Tallinn, the vacancy rates of modern offices have fallen below ten percent, and underutilization is expected to decrease slightly further during 2012.

The economic prospects for Europe continue to be uncertain, and the fear of the spreading of the euro area financial crisis has not disappeared, which has been observed in delays in decision-making by customers.

Operations

The Technopolis Group operates in real estate and the service business, divided into three operating segments based on geographic units: Finland, Russia, and Estonia.

During the second half of the year, demand recovered in the areas where Technopolis operates and the Group's financial occupancy rate has risen to 95.1 (94.4) %. The company's occupancy rates are still above the average.

The operations in Finland continued steadily, and both net sales and EBITDA developed favorably. The Group has consolidated its competence and offering in the healthcare and education segments.

In Tallinn, net sales and EBITDA were at a favorable level and financial occupancy rate decreased slightly to 90.7%. The occupancy rate is still above the average occupancy rate for class A offices in Tallinn, which was

89%. In December, Technopolis Ülemiste entered into an agreement with the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, resulting in Technopolis expanding the rentable space of its airport campus by 24,650 square meters.

In St. Petersburg, the occupancy rate of the Technopolis Pulkovo airport campus was 100% in December. The unit's EBITDA was profitable in the fourth quarter, increasing to EUR 0.3 (-1.26) million. The full-year EBITDA was EUR -0.2 (-2.0) million.

The Group's net sales for the period under review were EUR 92.8 (81.2) million, showing an increase of 14.4%. Rental revenue accounted for 86.7 (85.8) % and service revenue for 13.3 (14.2) % of net sales. Like-for-like rental growth, that is, the rental revenue from comparable properties, was 6.8%, primarily due to increasing occupancy rates and index increases.

The Group's EBITDA was EUR 47.5 (41.4) million, an increase of 14.8%.

The Group's financial occupancy rates on December 31, 2011:

Dec 31, 2011 Sep 30, 2011 June 30, 2011 March 31, 2011 Dec 31, 2010
Group 95,1 % 95,7 % 93,6 % 94,5 % 94,4 %
Finland 95,1 % 95,8 % 95,4 % 94,6 % 94,5 %
Oulu 91,8 % 94,7 % 92,8 % 92,3 % 91,7 %
HMA 95,3 % 95,3 % 96,9 % 97,1 % 98,0 %
Jyväskylä 96,8 % 96,9 % 96,2 % 94,1 % 94,6 %

Lappeenranta 92,6 % 95,6 % 98,2 % 98,4 % 94,4 %
Tampere 98,5 % 98,0 % 97,3 % 97,3 % 96,1 %
Estonia, Tallinn 90,7 % 94,4 % 93,7 % 92,9 % 93,5 %
Russia, St. Petersburg 100,0 % 95,3 % 61,7 %

*) The figures for the Group's financial occupancy rates are not comparable, as the lease stock of the St. Petersburg subsidiary has been included in the figures from June 30, 2011.

Breakdown of net sales and EBITDA by business function: (Figures from internal reporting, excluding eliminations.)

Premises 1-12/2011 1-12/2010
Net sales 80.7 70.3
EBITDA 52.9 47.1
EBITDA % 65.6% 67.1%
Services 1-12/2011 1-12/2010
Net sales 12.1 11.2
EBITDA 2.0 1.1
EBITDA % 16.4% 10.2%

The Group's operating profit totaled EUR 72.0 (43.0) million. The increase in operating profit is primary due to the change in the fair market value of investment properties, which was EUR 26.3 (2.7) million. The change in the fair market value of investment properties has no impact on the Group's net sales, EBITDA or cash flow

The Group's net financial expenses totaled EUR 12.0 (9.4) million. The net financial expenses include EUR 0.9 million of unrealized exchange rate losses due to the weakening of the Russian ruble. Financial items in comprehensive income include EUR 1.7 million in unrealized interest rate swap-related earnings from the period January 1 – April 30, 2011. As of May 1, 2011, Technopolis Group has recorded interest rate swaps in accordance with the IAS 39 criteria for hedge accounting, in order to eliminate the effect of the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments on the Group's result and to reduce volatility in the fiscal year results. Most of the Group's current interest rate swaps satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting. The Group's interest fixing period was 1.2 (1.5) years. The Group's result before taxes totaled EUR 60.0 (33.6) million.

The Group's direct result was EUR 24.6 (20.9) million, an increase of 17.6%. The increase was due primarily to the financial occupancy rate exceeding expectations, service revenue, and cost-savings. The direct result shows the company's result for the financial period, excluding changes in the fair market value of investment properties and financial instruments during the period, as well as any non-recurring items and tax effects related to these items.

Cash flow from operations/share was EUR 0.48 (0.41).

Total assets were EUR 962.9 (827.6) million, an increase of 16.3%. The Group's equity ratio at the end of the period was 35.8 (37.4) %.

The fair market value of the Group's completed investment properties at the end of the period was EUR 843.8 (727.7) million and the fair market value of investment properties under construction was EUR 61.7 (54.1) million.

The increase in the value of investment properties is primarily due to a decline in market yields and increase in occupancy rates. Net market yields on investment properties and properties under construction are calculated by taking the average of the upper and lower ranges of net market yield, as reported by two independent appraisal agencies for each individual region. On December 31, 2011, the average net yield for Group properties was 8.0 (8.0) %. The average ten-year occupancy rate used in the fair value calculation was 95.4%. The Group has set a higher target for the financial occupancy rate than this. Over the period of 2002–2011, the Group's average occupancy rate was 96.2%.

The Group's total rentable space at the end of the period was 576,900 (527,800) square meters, with 34,300 square meters under construction. The Group's financial occupancy rate at the end of the period was 95.1 (94.4) %. The Group's financial occupancy rate in 2011 averaged 94.9 (93.7) %. The financial occupancy rate depicts rental revenues from the properties as a percentage of the aggregate of the rents for occupied premises and the estimated market rent for vacant space. The lease stock held by the Group totaled EUR 215.4 (135.3) million at the end of the reporting period. This figure does not include the lease stock of buildings under construction.

At the end of the period, the average lease period was 26 (19) months. Lease period data does not include the lease stock of buildings under construction.

Geographically, the Group's property portfolio is diversified between the Oulu region, the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Lappeenranta, Tampere, St. Petersburg, and Tallinn. No single customer accounts for more than 5% of the Group's net sales. The Group has a total of approximately 1,300 customers across a wide range of sectors.

Major Investments and Development Projects

At the end of the period under review, Technopolis had office facilities under construction in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Tampere, Kuopio, and Jyväskylä in Finland as well as in Tallinn, Estonia. The projects expand existing centers.

Strategy and Financial Targets

In September, the company's Board of Directors confirmed the company's financial targets for the period 2012–2016 as follows:

  • net sales and EBITDA by an annual average of 15% (previous target 10% annually)

  • over EUR 50 million net sales outside Finland by 2016

  • at least 6% return on capital employed annually
  • equity ratio over 35% over the cycle
  • the aim is to distribute annually 40%–50% of net profit excluding changes in fair value as dividends

The company aims to strengthen the contribution of the health and education sector in its customer portfolio by investing in these segments and specific services employed by them. Technopolis aims to diversify its customer portfolio both between business sectors and regionally.

Technopolis has been continuously analyzing potential international investment targets in the Baltic Sea region for growth. The key criteria for potential acquisitions are the sufficient size and growth potential of the target, excellent

location in growth centers, high-quality and flexible property portfolio, and positive cash flow. In addition, the project must have a positive impact on earnings per share, and the customer base of the property must match the Technopolis concept. In accordance with the environmental strategy, all new Technopolis buildings and potential existing properties will apply for LEED environmental certification.

Financing

At the end of the reporting period, funds available to Technopolis consisted of EUR 63.0 (111.0) million in untapped credit facilities, and cash amounting to EUR 12.5 (4.5) million. The credit facilities contained a EUR 45.0 (100.8) million credit line and a EUR 18.0 (10.2) million revolving credit facility. Use of the available credit limit facilities requires collateral arrangements. In addition, the company has a EUR 120 million commercial paper program, of which EUR 25.0 million was issued at the end of the reporting period.

The Group's net financial expenses totaled EUR 12.0 (9.4) million. The net financial expenses include EUR 0.9 million of unrealized exchange rate losses due to the weakening of the Russian ruble. The result for the period includes EUR 1.7 million in unrealized interest rate swap-related earnings from the period January 1 – April 30, 2011. Financial items recognized directly in shareholders' equity and the statement of comprehensive income include EUR -3.2 million in changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps from the period May 1 – December 31, 2011, taking tax effects into consideration. As of May 1, 2011, Technopolis Group registers interest swaps in accordance with the IAS 39 criteria for hedge accounting, in order to eliminate the effects of the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments on the Group's result and to reduce volatility in the result of the fiscal year. Most of the Group's current interest rate swaps satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting.

The Group's interest coverage ratio was 3.7 (4.9). The interest coverage ratio indicates the relation between EBITDA and accrual-based interest expenses. The Group's total assets were EUR 962.9 (827.6) million, of which liabilities totaled EUR 619.7 (520.0) million. The Group's equity ratio was 35.8 (37.4) %. At the end of the period, the Group's net gearing was 156.0 (147.4) %. The Group's equity per share was EUR 5.21 (4.69).

At the end of the period, the Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 547.7 (457.9) million, and the average capital-weighted loan period was 8.7 (8.8) years. The average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.80 (2.42) % on December 31, 2011. Of interest-bearing liabilities, 63.0 (67.5) % were floating rate loans and 37.0 (32.5) % were fixed rate loans at the end of the period.

Technopolis prepared for a potential increase in interest rates early in the financial period by increasing the number of interest swaps. The Group's interest fixing period was 1.2 (1.5) years at year's end. A one percentage point change in market rates would cause a EUR 2.6 million change in the interest costs per annum. At the end of the reporting period, there were interest rate swaps covering EUR 170.0 (136.9) million.

The Group's loan-to-value ratio, that is, the ratio of interestbearing liabilities to the fair value of investment properties and properties under construction, was 60.0 (58.0) %. The Group has interest-bearing liabilities from credit institutions worth EUR 547.7 (457.9) million, of which EUR 252.9 million include covenants related to equity ratio, debt service ratio or loan-to-value.

The covenant relating to debt service ratio and loan-tovalue rate is included in the EUR 40.0 million borrowing of Technopolis Ülemiste (share of ownership 51%). In terms of the aforementioned loan amount, the subsidiary's debt service ratio must be at a minimum 1.1 and its loanto-value rate 70% at a maximum. If the covenants are breached, the lender may terminate the loan. At the end of the reporting period, Technopolis Ülemiste's debt service ratio was 1.4 and loan-to-value rate 53.7%.

Loans amounting to EUR 212.9 (185.5) million include covenants relating to the equity ratio. A decline in the equity ratio may lead to higher interest rate margins or premature repayment in these loans. The margins of some loans and bank guarantees may rise as the equity ratio falls. Potential changes in the margins take effect in accordance with the contractual provisions of each loan. Of these loans, EUR 40.6 million includes a repayment term. The repayment term is met if the equity ratio falls below 30%.

If the Group's equity ratio at the end of the reporting period was 33%–35%, and the covenant equity ratio covenant took effect immediately, the impact on the Group's interest rate expenses would be EUR 0.1 million per annum. Correspondingly, if the equity ratio was less than 33%, the impact on the Group's interest rate expenses would be EUR 0.4 million per annum.

Bank guarantees to the amount of EUR 126.0 million have been given as security for the EUR 141.8 million in loans granted by European Investment Bank (EIB). The bank guarantees for the loans granted by the EIB, amounting to EUR 123.3 million, have been covered with shorter agreements than the actual loan period. If the bank guarantees cannot be renewed, it will be necessary to rearrange the loans. EUR 10.0 million of these bank guarantees will expire by the end of 2013, and the plan is to extend them.

During the 12-month period following the period under review, EUR 78.9 million in existing interest-bearing loans will mature.

The financing of Technopolis Pulkovo, Phase 1, has been arranged through a European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) loan of EUR 30.5 million and the parent company's investments in shareholders' equity. On May 11, 2011, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority approved Technopolis' registration document. The registration document is valid for 12 months following its publication. The details of the registration are provided in a stock exchange release published on 13.05.11

Post-fiscal Events

On January 27, 2012, Technopolis Ülemste AS announced to start Tallinn airport campus expansion. Expansion is connected to agreement with the Estonian Tax and Customs Board whereby it leases approximately 11,650 square meters for ten years from the Technopolis Ülemiste airport campus.

On 2 February, 2012, Technopolis announced the launch of the phase 7B in Viestikatu near the University of Kuopio. The investment is estimated to be EUR 9.0 million. The floor area of the office will be approximately 4,800 square meters and the gross area of the building totals 6,300 square meters. 53 % of the facilities have been pre-let. The office building is scheduled for completion in December 2012.

On 2 February, 2012, Technopolis announced the launch of the second phase of the Pulkovo Airport Campus. The total investment in Pulkovo phase II is estimated to be EUR 42 million. The total area of the office premises is approximately 18,750 square meters and the gross building area is 22,700 square meters. The office building is estimated to be completed in September 2013. By

expanding the Pulkovo Campus, Technopolis aims to double its net sales and nearly triple its EBITDA in 2014.

On 2 February, 2012, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company announced its proportion of directly held Technopolis Plc's share capital and votes increased above one tenth (10 %) as a result of a share transaction carried out on February 2, 2012.

Board of Directors' Proposal for Distribution of Profit

At the end of the period distributable funds of the parent company were EUR 31,900,524. The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.20 (0.17) per share be paid, totaling EUR 12,677,009. The Board proposes that the remainder be left in the retained earnings account. The proposed dividend is 49% of the earnings per share excluding changes in the fair value of investment properties.

There have been no significant changes to the company's financial status after the end of the financial period. According to the opinion of the Board of Directors, the company's liquidity is good and the proposed distribution of profit will not negatively influence the company's solvency.

Evaluation of Operational Risks and Uncertainties

Technopolis' most significant business risks relate primarily to financial development associated with financing and customers as well as international business risks.

The objective of interest rate risk management is to mitigate the negative impact of market rate fluctuations on the Group's earnings, financial position, and cash flow. If necessary, the company uses forwards, interest rate swaps and interest rate options to hedge interest rate risks. The company's policy concerning interest rate risks also aims to

diversify the interest rate risk of loan contracts over different loan periods based on the prevailing market situation and the interest rate forecast created by the company.

Indicative of the structure of Technopolis' loan portfolio at the end of the period is the equation that a one percentage point change in the money market rates would change interest rate costs by EUR 2.6 million per annum.

Because of the interest rate risk associated with loans, a policy of diversifying interest bases is pursued. 34.5% of interest-bearing liabilities were pegged to the under 3-month Euribor rate and 28.5% were pegged to the 3–12 month Euribor rate. Of the interest-bearing liabilities, 37.0% were fixed-rate loans with maturities of 13–60 months.

The objective of refinancing risk management is to ensure that the Group's loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified with regard to repayment schedules and financing instruments. The average capital-weighted outstanding loan period was 8.7 years. In order to manage financing risk, Technopolis draws upon the resources of a wide range of financers and a variety of financing instruments, and maintains a sufficient degree of solvency.

Uncertainty in the financial markets may adversely affect the availability of growth financing and refinancing and their margins in the future.

The differences between Russian, Estonian, and Finnish legislation and administrative procedures may create risks.

Changes in the exchange rates between the Russian ruble and the euro may have an effect on the company's financial performance and operations. Ruble-denominated transactions are recorded at the exchange rate of the transaction date. Any translation differences are entered in the income statement under other operating expenses or finance income and expenses according to the type of transaction involved.

Customer risk management aims to minimize the negative impact of potential changes in the customers' financial position on the company's business and financial performance. Customer risk management focuses on having a profound understanding of the customer's business and active monitoring of customer information. Customer risks are diversified by acquiring customers from all technology sectors, knowledge-intensive operations, and the public sector. As part of client risk management, Technopolis leases include rental security arrangements.

The company's leases fall into two categories: fixed-term and open-ended. The company aims to apply both lease types depending on the market situation, the property in question, and the sector in which the internal customer operates.

At the end of the period under review, open-ended leases in the lease portfolio that could be terminated and renegotiated within the next 12 months covered approximately 53.7 (43.3) % of the lease stock. The term of notice for these agreements is broken down as shown in the table below.

Notice period

Dec 31, 2010

6 – 9 6.2 23.2
9 – 12 5.7 8.3
Total 53.7 43.3

Declining financial occupancy rates may reduce rental and service revenue and profit, and reduce the fair value of investment properties and, thus, the equity ratio. The current lease structure allows customers to flexibly adjust the space they need as their business needs change. Although the flexibility of the lease structure may pose a risk to the Group, it is an essential element of Technopolis' service

concept. The company has solid and long-term experience in this business model over a wide variety of economic cycles.

In new construction projects, Technopolis focuses on quality and the management of the property's entire life cycle. In the design phase, consideration is given to the property's maintenance and repair requirements in order to implement environmentally sustainable solutions for energy consumption, adaptability of premises, and recycling potential. When purchasing properties, Technopolis carries out standard property and environmental audits before committing to the transaction. All properties are covered by full value insurance.

Changes in market yields may have a significant impact on the company's financial performance through the fair value of investment properties. As the yields increase, the fair value of properties decreases. Conversely, as the yields decrease, the fair value of properties increases. Such changes either decrease or increase the Group's operating profit. Changes in market yields do not have any direct impact on the company's net sales, EBITDA, or cash flow, but a negative change in the value of investment properties may reduce the company's equity ratio and, as a result of this, covenant terms of the leases may be triggered. In that case, the change in value will have an impact on the cash flow and result for the period.

Future Outlook

The Group's management estimates that net sales and EBITDA will grow 12%–15% in 2012 from the previous year.

The Group's financial performance depends on the development of the overall business environment, customer operations, financial markets and the development for yield requirements for the properties. Developments in these areas may result changes in the occupancy rate, use of services, financing costs, the fair value of properties, and facilities rents may have an impact on the Group's sales and earnings.

COMPANY INFORMATION

Technopolis is a company that specializes in providing operating environments for high tech enterprises, utilizing a service concept that combines premises, business services and development services. Technopolis operates in Finland in Oulu region, Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Lappeenranta, and Tampere in Finland, in St. Petersburg in Russia and in Tallinn in Estonia. The Group's parent company is Technopolis Plc. The company is domiciled in Oulu, Finland, and its registered address is Elektroniikkatie 8, FI-90590 Oulu.

The Board of Directors of Technopolis Plc approved the publication of the consolidated financial statements on 1 March 2012. Copy of the consolidated financial statements is available on the website of Technopolis Plc at www.technopolis.fi/for_investors. Under the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders have the option to accept, change or reject the financial statements at the Annual General Meeting, which is held after the publication of the financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements of Technopolis Plc have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements comply with the IAS (International Accounting Standards) and IFRS effective as of December 31, 2011, together with the interpretations of the SIC (Standing Interpretations Committee) and IFRIC (International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee), adopted by European Union. All figures in the financial statements are presented in thousands of euros.

In the consolidated financial statements, investment properties, available-for-sale financial assets, derivatives and the cash portion of the share incentive scheme are measured at fair value. In other respects, the consolidated financial statements were produced on the historical cost basis.

The Group has taken into account the amendments to standards and interpretations that became effective on January 1, 2011, such as IFRIC 14, IFRIC 19, revised IAS 24 and amended IAS 32. The changes in standards do not have any major effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements. The improvements of IFRSs (Improvements to IFRSs, May 2010), contain further specifications for different standards, but the amendments were not significant in terms of the future consolidated financial statements.

Scope of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, Technopolis Plc, and those subsidiaries in which the parent company directly or indirectly controls more than 50 % of the voting power of the shares or exercises control otherwise. Associates are companies in which the Technopolis Group exerts significant influence. Significant influence exists when the Group owns more than 20% of the company's voting power or when it otherwise exerts significant influence but not control.

The parent company Technopolis Plc and all of its subsidiaries have been consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. The subsidiaries are companies in which the Group has a controlling interest. A controlling interest exists when the Group has more than half of the voting power or otherwise has a controlling interest. The purchase method has been used in eliminating the mutual shareholdings of Group companies. Pursuant to an exemption permitted under IFRS 1, the Group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that predate the transition to IFRS (January 1, 2004). Business combinations subsequent to the transition date implemented prior to January 1, 2010, comply with the IFRS 3 standard in force at the time, and as from January 1, 2010, the Group has applied the revised IFRS 3 standard in accordance with which all acquisition-related expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as expenses. A conditional additional purchase price must be recognized at fair value, even if the materialization of the additional purchase price is not assumed to be probable at the time of the acquisition. Any changes in the conditional purchase price liability that have taken place after the

time of acquisition are recognized through profit or loss. With regard to acquisitions to which the IFRS 3 standard has been applied, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. If the cost of an acquired company at the acquisition date exceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the acquired company's net assets, the difference is recognized as goodwill. All subsidiaries established or acquired during the fiscal year have been consolidated from the point in time when control over them was established. Changes in ownership of subsidiaries, associated companies or joint ventures are recognized directly in the Group's shareholders' equity. As the result of the standard revision, losses of a subsidiary can be allocated to non-controlling owners even when they exceed the value of their investments.

All intra-group transactions, margins on fixed assets, balances and profit distribution have been eliminated. The portion attributable to non-controlling interests has been separated from consolidated equity and profit and is presented separately under equity.

Associates have been consolidated using the equity method of accounting. The Group's portion of the net profit/loss for the year of associates, less depreciation, is presented in the statement of comprehensive income under financial income. If the Group's portion of an associate's loss exceeds the carrying amount, any losses in excess of the carrying amount are not consolidated, unless the Group is committed to fulfilling the obligations of the associates.

Subsidiaries that are mutual property companies have been consolidated by proportional consolidation, with the balance sheets and income statements of the mutual property companies being consolidated proportionally to the Group's holding, line by line, with the corresponding lines in the consolidated financial statements. If the statements of comprehensive income and the balance sheets of subsidiaries consolidated by proportional consolidation contain items that are exclusively attributable to the Group or to other owners, they have also been taken into account accordingly in the consolidated financial statements. These cases do not constitute a non-controlling interest

Translation of Foreign Currency Items

The consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Euros, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group's parent company. Foreign currency transactions are stated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of each transaction. At the end of the fiscal year, unsettled monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are valued using the rates of the balance sheet date. Monetary items are units of currency held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in a fixed or determinable number of units of currency. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency denominated business transactions and from the translation of monetary items have been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Translating the statements of comprehensive income of foreign Group companies using a different exchange rate than that used for the balance sheet results in a translation difference recognized in the balance sheet, and changes in this difference is recognized under other comprehensive income. The translation differences resulting from elimination of the acquisition costs of foreign subsidiaries and from the translation of equity items accumulated after the acquisition are recognized under other comprehensive income. When a subsidiary is sold in full or in part, the cumulative translation differences are recognized through profit or loss as part of the selling profit or loss.

The Group has also Russian subsidiary in St. Petersburg that uses the Russian ruble as the functional currency.

Policies for Income Recognition

The Group's net sales primarily consist of the real estate rental revenues, service revenues and business development income derived from business operations. Net sales are adjusted for indirect taxes, sales adjusting items and the translation difference of foreign currency denominated sales. The Group's income is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. Rental revenues from investment properties have been recognized as income in accordance with IAS 17 through profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the

entire lease term. Service revenues are recognized upon completion of the service performance according to IAS 18.

Public Subsidies

Public subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity complies with the conditions attaching to them and that the subsidies will be received. The subsidies received for various development programs have been recognized in other operating income. The expenses relating to development programs are recognized under other operating expenses and personnel expenses.

Taxes

Current taxes include the tax based on taxable income for the period, adjustments for previous years and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax liabilities arise when the carrying amount of an item in the consolidated balance sheet exceeds its taxation value. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in their entirety. Deferred tax assets arise when the carrying amount of an item in the consolidated balance sheet falls below the taxation value. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable they can be utilized against future taxable income. The corporate tax rate confirmed on the balance sheet date has been used in calculating deferred taxes.

Intangible Assets and Tangible Fixed Assets

Intangible assets and items of property, plant and equipment are measured at the original acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation, and they are depreciated over their useful lives according to pre-established depreciation plans. Intangible rights are depreciated on a 20% and machinery and equipment on a 25% straightline basis. Depreciation is included in the statement of comprehensive income under depreciation according to plan.

Additional expenses arising later are capitalized if it is likely that they will cause future economic benefit to flow to the company and they can be reliably determined and allocated to an asset. Otherwise, they are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

The useful lives of intangible assets and tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually and their carrying amounts are assessed for possible depreciation. If there is any indication of depreciation, the recoverable amount of the asset involved is evaluated. If the carrying amount of an asset is found to be higher than the cash it will generate in the future, a depreciation loss will be recognized as an expense for the period. If a depreciation loss later proves unwarranted, it can be reversed by recognizing it in profit or loss. However, a reversal of a depreciation loss cannot exceed the depreciation of the asset recognized previously, and in case of goodwill is recognized, a depreciation loss made in goodwill is irreversible.

On the balance sheet date, the Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lies or goodwill that would need to be subjected to annual depreciation testing.

Investment Properties

Investment properties are those that the Group holds in order to obtain rental revenues or an increase in asset value. Investment properties are measured at fair value. They include buildings and developed/undeveloped land owned by the Group. They also include properties held under a capital lease. Properties held under other than a capital lease are not classified as investment properties. The Technopolis Group keeps, for its own use, only small offices in buildings that can otherwise be defined as investment properties, for which reason the premises in Technopolis's own use have not been recognized separately at acquisition cost, but are included in the fair value calculation.

Changes in the value of investment properties are entered into the statement of comprehensive income as a separate item. Aside from the change in the value of properties owned throughout the year, the change in the fair value of investment properties was due to the determination of properties completed during the fiscal year at fair value and the increases in acquisition cost recognized by special purpose entities during the fiscal year.

Fair Value Accounting Model

In calculating the fair value of investment properties, the aim is to determine the prices paid on an active market at the time of the review for properties that are equivalent in terms of type, location, condition or lease structure. If

comparable prices cannot be found on active markets, the fair value can be determined by adapting the prices of active markets to correspond to the time of the review and the situation at hand, or by determining the prices from cash flows based on estimated future revenues.

The fair value accounting model applied by the Group is based on the cash flow analysis determined specifically for each property, in which the fair value of an investment property is determined by discounting the net cash flow of future income and expenses to the present day. The net cash flow consists of future rental revenues adjusted by the vacancy rate, less annual management and maintenance costs. The current value of the residual value at the end of the fiscal year is added to the net present value of the net cash flow. Undeveloped land areas are measured on the basis of the building rights, if the latter is essentially different from the land acquisition cost.

All future income is based on existing agreements. Existing agreements are assumed to be terminated upon expiry of the notice period following the first possible date for giving notice of termination. After this, the premises are assumed to be leased at market rates. The market rate is a rent defined by the company itself specifically for each of the premises and properties. Market rents are also defined for premises that are vacant at the valuation date. A vacancy rate is defined specifically for each property annually over the entire accounting period. In addition to income from the rental of premises, site-specific income is considered to include payments for usage, income from car parking and income from conference room rentals. Rents and market rents are raised annually by the expected inflation rate.

The expenses attributed to a property include the cost of management, minor repairs and facility maintenance allocated to the property or the proportional holding in it for the entire accounting period. These expenses are increased annually by the expected inflation rate. The facility maintenance costs used in the calculation of residual value are based on internal site-specific estimates.

The net cash flows from estimated future income and expenses are discounted to the present day using a discount rate derived from the net yield requirement and the expected inflation rate. The yield requirements are calculated by two independent appraisal agencies for the each individual region. The yields are calculated by taking the average of the upper and lower ranges reported by these organizations.

The valuation model and the parameters applied in it have been audited by a third-party property assessor (AKA). Additionally, the Group may, at its discretion, request appraisals from third-party assessors to support its own calculations.

Investment properties under construction Investment properties under construction are measured at fair value, provided that the fair value can be reliably determined. The fair value of investment properties under construction is determined with the same fair value accounting model as the fair value of completed investment properties.

Advance payments and projects in progress

Capitalized additions of non-current assets in progress have been recognized under advance payments and projects in progress. These include modernizations of investment properties and any other projects that are to be recognized as being in progress until they are completed.

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases and operating leases, depending on the extent to which the risks typically related to the ownership of the leased asset are to be carried by the lessee or the lessor. Finance leases are those that substantially transfer all of the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset to the lessee. If the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset are not transferred, the lease is classified as an operating lease. Operating leases are recognized through profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the lease's actual nature.

Group as a Lessor

Lessors recognize assets held under a finance lease at their commencement date in the balance sheet and state them at their net investment value. Lessors treat the

receivable finance lease income as repayment of capital and financial income. The recognition of financial income is based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. Leasing payments relating to the period, excluding costs for services, are applied against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned financial income.

Group companies are not lessors on long-term leases that are classified as finance leases.

Leases in which the risks and rewards incidental to ownership remain with the lessor are treated as operating leases. The majority of rental revenues are entered in the income statement on a straight-line basis during the term of the lease. Few customer have contingent rents, in which the rent is based on the lessee's net sales. All rental revenues are recognized in net sales.

Group as a Lessee

Lessees recognize finance leases at the commencement as balance sheet assets at their fair value or at the current value of minimum leases, whichever is lower, and they are removed from the balance sheet at the time when the assets are expected to be capitalized. The rents to be paid are divided between financial expenses and a decrease in liabilities.

Group companies are lessees of premises on long-term leases that are classified as finance leases. In these cases, the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the premises have substantially been transferred to the lessee.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are grouped as financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss, or as loans and other receivables, disposable financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost.

Interest rate and currency swaps have been classified under financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value in profit or loss. They are initially entered in the accounts at their acquisition cost equivalent to their fair value. After the acquisition, the swaps are measured at fair value. The fair value of interest rate and currency swaps is determined by discounting all future cash flows related to the swaps to the valuation date in accordance with the counterparty's pricing systems and methods. During the financial period, the positive and negative changes in the fair value of interest rate and currency swaps were recognized through profit or loss until April 30, 2011. The Group amended its accounting policy in the middle of the financial period, and it now uses the IAS 39-compliant hedge accounting for interest swaps as of May 1, 2011, and as a result, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting are recognized under derivatives in comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting are recognized through profit or loss. Most of the Group's current interest rate swaps satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting.

Loans and other receivables and all financial liabilities, excluding derivatives, are presented in the balance sheet at the amortized cost by applying the effective interest method. Transaction costs are included at their initial purchase cost. Receivables are measured at their initial value, less their estimated impairment. The situation with doubtful receivables and credit losses is estimated on a regular basis.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value by using quoted market prices and exchange rates or the valuation methods of third-party assessors. Changes in the fair values of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income items and in revaluation funds in shareholder's equity, less the tax effect. When such an asset is sold, the accumulated changes in fair value are transferred from shareholders' equity through profit or loss. The Group estimates whether there are indications of impairment of any financial assets at the closing date of each reporting period. Equity investments are classified under availablefor-sale financial assets. Any unlisted shares whose fair value cannot be reliably determined are recognized at their acquisition cost, less impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, demand deposits and other current, extremely liquid investments. Items classified as cash and cash equivalents have a maximum maturity of three months from the acquisition date. Interest-bearing liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet at amortized cost by applying the effective interest method. Current interest-bearing liabilities include the commercial papers issued by the company.

Employee Benefits

All of the Group's employees are included in a defined contribution plans, and all contributions resulting from pension arrangements are recognized in the income statement for fiscal year to which the contribution relates.

Voluntary pension arrangements of key personnel have been treated as defined contribution plans, because the Group's legal and constructive obligation is limited to the amount which the Group contributes to the plan concerning post-employment benefits.

Share-based Payments

The Group has applied IFRS 2, Share-based Payments, to all those option programs under which options have been granted after November 7, 2002 and to which no right has arisen prior to January 1, 2005. No costs related to any option programs that predate the above have been presented in the statement of comprehensive income. Options are measured at fair value at the granting date and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as expenses on a straight-line basis during the period in which the right arises. The cost determined on the option granting date is based on the Group's estimate of the number of options for which a right is estimated to arise at the end of the period.

Fair value is determined on the basis of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of an option is determined by the issue price; the share option's life; the price of the underlying shares at grant date; the expected volatility of the share price; and the risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility of the share price is primarily based on its historical volatility. The Group updates the assumptions concerning the final number of options at each balance sheet date. Changes in the estimates are

entered in the statement of comprehensive income. When options are exercised, all money payments received on the basis of share subscriptions (adjusted for the transaction costs, if any) are entered in the share capital (counter book value) and in the invested unrestricted equity fund. The company also has a current share incentive scheme decided by the Annual General Meeting in 2009. The bonuses under the share incentive scheme are paid part in shares and part in cash. The terms and conditions of the share incentive scheme are presented in closer detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The portion paid in shares is recognized as expenses for employee benefits incurred during the period the benefits were created, and is also recognized in Group equity. The portion paid in cash is recognized as expenses for employee benefits incurred during the period the benefits were created and also as a liability.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized when the Group has a legal or actual obligation based on an earlier event, when materialization of the payment obligation is probable and the amount of the obligation can be reliably determined. The provisions are measured at the present value of the expenses required for covering them. If there is a possibility of obtaining compensation from a third party for part of the obligation, the compensation is recognized as a separate asset when its receipt is virtually certain. The amount of provisions is assessed on each balance sheet date and adjusted to correspond to the best estimate available at the time of assessment. The company does not have such provisions.

A contingent liability is a potential liability resulting from earlier events, the existence of which only becomes certain when an uncertain event outside the control of the Group materializes. An existing obligation that probably does not require a payment obligation to be fulfilled or whose amount cannot be reliably determined is also classified as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are presented in the notes to the financial statements.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA presents the net income of the company before

interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

Operating Profit

The Group has defined operating profit as follows: Operating profit is the net sum formed when the net sales figure is increased by operating income, and decreased by employee benefits expense, depreciation and amortization expense and any depreciation losses, changes in the fair value of investment properties and other operating expenses. All income statement items other than those listed above are presented under operating profit. Exchange rate differences are included in the operating profit, if they arise from business-related items; otherwise they are recognized in financial items.

Direct Result

The direct result presents the company's financial performance for the period excluding the change in the fair value of investment properties, the change in the fair value of financial instruments and any non-recurring items, such as gains and losses on disposals. As the company has interest rate and currency swaps that do not satisfy the IFRS criteria for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Additionally, the statement of comprehensive income showing the direct result presents the related taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Items excluded from the direct result and their tax effects are presented in the statement of income showing the indirect result. Earnings per share have been calculated both from the direct and indirect results in accordance with the instructions issued by the European Public Real Estate Association EPRA. The direct and indirect result and the earnings per share calculated from them are consistent with the company's financial result and earnings per share for the period.

Earnings per Share

The earnings per share figure is presented as basic earnings per share and adjusted for dilution. The basic earnings per share are calculated using the parent company's average number of shares for the fiscal year. When the diluted

earnings per share are calculated, the parent company's average number of shares for the year has been adjusted for the dilutive effect of additional shares resulting from the expected exercise of options. The exercise of options is excluded from the earnings per share calculations, if the subscription price of an option-based share exceeds the shares' average market value during the year.

Related Party Transactions

A related party relationship exists if one of the parties exerts control or significant influence over the decisionmaking of the other party. In the Group, the related parties include the parent company, subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Additionally, related parties include the Group management and their next of kin and companies in which such individuals exert control, joint control or significant influence. The Group management includes the members of the Board of Directors and CEO and the members of the Group's Management Team.

Use of Estimates

When preparing financial statements, the Group management is required to apply the accounting policies at its discretion and make assumptions and estimates that affect the contents of the financial statements. The most important estimates are related to the parameters used in calculating the fair value of properties. The single most important variable that may have an essential impact on the fair value of investment properties is the market yield requirement. The yield requirement applied by the company in the fair value model is the average of the upper and lower ranges reported by two independent appraisal agencies for each individual region. When determining the fair value of investment properties the management is also to required make assumptions concerning land rents, occupancy rates and facility maintenance costs. When doing so, the management makes use of the best knowledge available at the time when the accounts are closed. Actual future values may differ from current projections.

Application of new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards

When preparing the financial statements, the Group has given due consideration to the new standards and interpretations issued by the IASB during the fiscal year and will adopt the same in the forthcoming reporting periods as soon as they become effective.

The revised IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Standards, the revised IAS 12 – Income Taxes, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements, the standards IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 regarding consolidated financial statements as well as IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, may affect the future financial statements of the Group.

Other new standards or standard revisions published during the financial period, such as the revised IAS 19 or the revised IFRS 7 – Financial Statements: Disclosures, are not expected to have material effects on the future financial statements of the Group.

1. SEGMENT REPORTING

On the balance sheet date, Technopolis Group has three operating segments based on geographic units: Finland, Russia, and Estonia. The segment division is based on the Group's existing internal reporting procedures and the organization of the Group's operations. The net sales of the segments mainly consist of rental and service income. Estonian segment was consolidated in October 2010 which is why the figures are not comparable to those of the comparison period.

The Group management monitors the net sales and EBITDA levels of the segments. The EBITDA figures of the segments were calculated in the manner presented in the Accounting Policies. The Group's net sales or EBITDA do not include significant inter-segment items.

Unallocated items are shown in the "Others" column that includes items created in Group administration, tax items and financial items as well as items common to the whole Group and inter-segment loans under assets. Segment assets include the items that can be directly allocated to the reported segments, such as investment properties.

The Group amended its accounting policy and complies with the IAS 39-compliant hedge accounting for interest swaps as of May 1, 2011, and as a result, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting are recognized under cash flow hedges in comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting are entered in the income statement. Most of the Group's current interest rate swaps satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting.

20. RISK MANAGEMENT

I) Financial risk management

By pursuing an active policy to manage financial risks, the Group seeks to secure efficient and competitive funding for its operations and to reduce the negative impact of financial market fluctuations on its operations. In order to manage financing risk, Technopolis draws upon the resources of a wide range of financiers, makes use of a variety of financing instruments and maintains strong solvency. The objective of refinancing risk management is to ensure that the Group's loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified with regard to repayment schedules and financing instruments. Technopolis uses derivative instruments exclusively for the purpose of reducing or eliminating financial risks in the balance sheet. Uncertainty in the financial markets may adversely affect the availability of growth financing and refinancing and their margins in the future.

Interest rate risk

The main financial risk Technopolis is exposed to is the interest rate risk affecting its loan portfolio. The policy for managing interest rate risk is approved by the board. The objective of interest rate risk management is to mitigate the negative impact of market rate fluctuations on the Group's earnings, financial position, and cash flow. If necessary, the company uses forwards, interest rate swaps and interest rate options to hedge interest rate risks. The company's policy concerning interest rate risks also aims to diversify the interest rate risk of loan contracts over different loan periods based on the prevailing market situation and the interest rate forecast created by the company.

The company's borrowing arrangements include standard security instruments and covenants. The company employs collateral in its borrowing, and insists on standard pledge restrictions. The Group has interest-bearing liabilities from credit institutions amounting to EUR 547.7 million (EUR 457.9 million), of which the loan capital of EUR 252.9 million includes covenants related to equity ratio, debt service ratio or loan-to-value. The covenant relating to debt service ratio and loan-to-value rate is included in the EUR 40.0 million borrowing of Technopolis Ülemiste (share of ownership 51%). Loans amounting to EUR 212.9 million (EUR 185.5 million) include covenants relating to the equity ratio. A decline in the equity ratio may lead to higher interest rate margins or premature repayment in these loans. The margins of some loans and bank guarantees may rise as the equity ratio falls. Potential changes in the margins take effect in accordance with the contractual provisions of each loan. Of these loans, EUR 40.6 million includes a repayment term. The repayment term is met if the equity ratio falls below 30%.

If the Group's equity ratio at the end of the reporting period was 33%–35%, and the covenant equity ratio covenant took effect immediately, the impact on the Group's interest rate expenses would be EUR 0.1 million per annum. Correspondingly, if the equity ratio was less than 33%, the impact on the Group's interest rate expenses would be EUR 0.4 million per annum. On December 31, 2011, the Group's equity ratio was 35.8% (37.4%) More detailed information about covenants is given on the Board of Directors' Report under the heading "Financing".

It is indicative of the interest rate sensitivity of Technopolis's loan portfolio at the end of 2011 that a one-point change in money market rates would change interest rate costs by EUR 2.6 million per annum (EUR 2.3 million in 2010). Correspondingly, the change change of 0.5 point in the fair value of interest rate swaps included in the scope of hedge accounting would affect shareholders' equity by EUR 2.0 million. Because of the interest rate risk associated with loans, a policy of diversifying interest bases is pursued. 34.5% of interest-bearing liabilities were pegged to the under 3-month Euribor rate and 28.5% were pegged to the 3–12 month Euribor rate. Of the interest-bearing liabilities, 37.0% were fixed-rate loans with maturities of 13–60 months. The objective of refinancing risk management is to ensure that the Group's loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified with regard to repayment schedules and financing instruments. The average capital-weighted outstanding loan period was 8.7 years.

Foreign currency exchange rates risk

As the operations have expanded outside the eurozone, the company has become exposed to exchange rate risks. The objective of currency risk management is to reduce the uncertainties relating to cash flows, profit and the balance sheet. Changes in the exchange rates between the Russian ruble and the euro may have an effect on the company's financial performance and operations. Ruble-denominated transactions are recorded at the exchange rate of the transaction date. Any translation differences are entered in the income statement under other operating expenses or finance income and expenses according to the type of transaction involved. If the company keeps expanding its operations outside the eurozone, it will also be exposed to foreign currency exchange rates risk regarding its new countries of operation.

Credit risk

Credit risk management at Technopolis Group focuses on managing client risks. The clients' credit standing is evaluated before leases are signed and new leases usually include rental security arrangements.

The Group does not have uncertain receivables. The amount of outstanding sales receivables is low and closely monitored. Credit losses recognized in loss for the financial year amounted to EUR 258 thousand (EUR 198 thousand). At the end of the year, the Group's maximum credit risk is equivalent to the carrying amount of financial assets.

Liquidity risk and counterparty risk

The Group management constantly evaluates and monitors the financing required for running the operations in order to ensure adequate reserves of liquid funding for financing the operations and repaying the loans when due. Financial counterparty risk is created when the counterparty to the financial contract cannot necessarily meet its contractual obligations. In order to manage liquidity and counterparty risks, Technopolis draws upon the resources of a wide range of financiers and maintains strong solvency. Long-term financing for the company is provided by several Finnish and foreign financial institutions and the loans have been diversified both in terms of type of contracts and maturity. Additionally, the company has domestic commercial paper programs with three Finnish financial institutions. For short-term financing needs, the Group also has overdraft credit facilities.

On the balance sheet date, the funds available to Technopolis consisted of EUR 63.0 million (EUR 111.0 million) in untapped credit facilities, and cash amounting to EUR 12.5 million (EUR 4.5 million). The credit facilities included a EUR 45.0 million (EUR 100.8 million) credit line and a EUR 18.0 million (EUR 10.2 million) revolving credit facility. Use of the available credit limit facilities requires collateral arrangements. In addition, the company has a EUR 120 million commercial paper program, of which EUR 25.0 million was issued at the end of the reporting period. More detailed information about liquidity risk is given in the Board of Directors' Report under the headings "Financing" and "Evaluation of Operational Risks and Uncertainties".

Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy: The fair value is based on quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Group has obtained the fair value of level 1 instruments from NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange market prices on the valuation date and has reviewed that prices of these instruments present actual, regular transaction prices.

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy: The fair value is measured using other input data than quoted prices on level 1, for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of these instruments is measured on the basis of generally accepted valuation techniques which primarily use inputs based on observable market data.

Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: The fair value is measured with techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. The fair value is measured on basis of generally accepted valuation techniques which use assumptions made by the management together with observable market data.

II) Yield requirement risks associated with investment properties

In new construction projects, Technopolis focuses on quality and the management of the property's entire lifecycle. In the design phase, consideration is given to the property's maintenance and repair requirements in order to implement environmentally sustainable solutions for energy consumption, adaptability of premises, and recycling potential. When purchasing properties, Technopolis carries out standard property and environmental audits before committing to the transaction. All properties are covered by full value insurance.

Changes in market yields may have a significant impact on the company's financial performance through the fair value of investment properties. As the yields increase, the fair value of properties decreases. Conversely, as the yields decrease, the fair value of properties increases. Such changes either decrease or increase the Group's operating profit. Changes in market yields do not have any direct impact on the company's net sales, EBITDA, or cash flow, but a negative change in the value of investment properties may reduce the company's equity ratio and, as a result of this, covenant terms of the leases may be triggered. In that case, the change in value will have an impact on the cash flow and result for the period. Because Technopolis does not trade in the properties it owns, the risk arising out of changes in market yield requirements has not been hedged.

A one-point change in yield requirements would affect the fair value of investment properties as follows:

Change in yield requirement
12/31/2011 +1% -1%
Fair value of investment properties 843 778 754 055 959 804

III) Risk concentrations

Customer risk management aims to minimize the negative impact of potential changes in the customers' financial position on the company's business and financial performance. Customer risk management focuses on having a profound understanding of the customer's business and active monitoring of customer information. Customer risks are diversified by acquiring customers from all technology sectors, knowledge-intensive operations, and the public sector. As part of client risk management, Technopolis leases include rental security arrangements.

The company's leases fall into two categories: fixed-term and open-ended. The company aims to apply both lease types depending on the market situation, the property in question, and the sector in which the internal customer operates. At the end of the period under review, open-ended leases in the lease portfolio that could be terminated and renegotiated within the next 12 months covered approximately 53.7% (43.3%) of the lease stock. At the end of the period, the average lease period was 26 (21) months. Although the flexibility of the lease structure may pose a risk to the Group, it is an essential element of Technopolis' service concept. The company has solid and long-term experience in this business model over a wide variety of economic cycles.

Changes in the general economic environment may have an adverse effect on the company's clients and hence on the Group's business operations.

IV) Capital management

The Group management and Board of Directors monitor the company's capital structure on a regular basis in order to ensure solid financial performance and growth as foreseen in the corporate strategy. For instance, the capital structure can be modified through dividend distribution and share issues. The Board of Directors seeks to pursue a predictable and active dividend policy. The Group's objective is to maintain shareholders' equity at a level that allows regular dividend payments to shareholders every year.

Expanding the property portfolio through construction or acquisitions calls for borrowing or equity financing. Maintaining an optimum capital structure is of great importance because changes in financing costs and the availability of external funding affect the company's operations, profit and financial position.

The Group's capital structure is monitored by means of the equity ratio. On December 31, 2011, the Group's equity ratio was 35.8% (37.4% on December 31, 2010). The long-term target equity ratio is at least 35% over the cycle.

23. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

2005 option program

In the comparison period 2010, the company had option program 2005, with the subscription periods of option rights 2005A and 2005B valid until April 30, 2010. By April 30, 2010, a total of 339,703 shares were subscribed at a subscription price of EUR 3.266 using 325,700 option rights 2005A, while no shares were subscribed using option rights 2005B. No option rights were outstanding for execution following the comparison period after the expiry of the subscription period.

2007 option program

The Annual General Meeting of March 29, 2007 decided on an option program and the issuance of option rights to key personnel. A total of 1,650,000 option rights were issued as part of the incentive compensation plan for key individuals.

Under option plan 2007A, the subscription price of the share is the average share price at the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange during April 1 to April 30, 2007, weighted by the trading volume of the Technopolis share; under option plan 2007B, the average share price at the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange during April 1 to April 30, 2008, weighted by the trading volume of the Technopolis share; and under option plan 2007C, the average share price at the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange during April 1 to April 30, 2009, weighted by the trading volume of the Technopolis share. If the company distributes dividends or funds from the invested unrestricted equity fund, the subscription price of the share subscribed under the option plan will be reduced by the amount of dividends paid out after the expiry of the period determining the subscription price and by the amount of dividends decided before subscription on the record date for each dividend distribution or return of capital on the record date. The subscription period for shares under option plan 2007A is May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2012, under option plan 2007B from May 1, 2011 to April 30 2013, and under option plan 2007C from May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2014.

According to the original terms, each option right entitled the holder to subscribe to one (1) Technopolis share. When making the decision on the rights issue on April 27, 2008, the Board of Directors amended the terms of the 2007 option plans in order to ensure equal treatment of option holders and shareholders. The amendments to the option terms took effect on May 26, 2008. The subscription ratio and price of the 2007 option rights were changed such that now one option right entitles the holder to subscribe 1.043 Technopolis shares. When the shares are subscribed, the total number of shares subscribed by the option right holder will be rounded to the nearest full share and the subscription price will be calculated using the rounded number of shares and rounded to the nearest full cent.

If the employment or position of the option holder with the Technopolis Group ends for reasons other than death or statutory retirement, he or she shall immediately offer, without consideration, the option rights to the company or order in respect of which the share subscription period has not commenced by the date of expiry of employment or position. However, the Board may, at its discretion, decide to allow the option holder to keep the options rights, or part of them, subject to such obligation to offer.

Share incentive scheme 2010–2012

The Annual General Meeting of March 26, 2009 decided to adopt a share incentive scheme for key personnel in the Technopolis Group. The scheme aims to align the objectives of the owners and key personnel in order to increase the company's value and commitment of key personnel to the company by providing them with a competitive bonus system based on ownership of the company's shares. The maximum amount of incentives available under the scheme is 390,000 shares plus a cash incentive equal to the amount required for the taxes and tax-like levies to be imposed on key personnel due to the incentive as at the date the shares are recorded on the book-entry system account. However, the maximum amount of cash incentive is the amount corresponding to the value of the shares on the record date. The shares may not be surrendered, pledged or otherwise deployed during the commitment period set for them. No incentive will be payable to a key employee in case his/her employment is terminated by the Group company or the employee him/herself before payment of the incentive is due. However, the Board may in these cases decide on the key employee's right to incentive accumulated by the end of employment or position.

If shares are given as an incentive under the scheme, the company's CEO must keep half of the shares received under the scheme for as long as his/her term in office continues, and members of the company's Management Team must keep half of the shares received under the scheme for two years after the expiry of the respective commitment period.

No shares were granted under the share incentive scheme in 2010, nor were any entries made for it during the financial comparison period of 2010. The share incentive scheme was introduced in 2011, and the key employees have a possibility to earn a maximum total of 150,000 shares during 2011. The earning criteria for the incentive shares are weighted and consist of the growth of the company's earnings per share (60% weight) and the increase in the like-for-like rental income (40% weight).

25. DIRECT AND INDIRECT RESULT

The direct result presents the company's financial result for the period excluding the change in the fair value of investment properties, the change in the fair value of financial instruments and any nonrecurring items, such as gains and losses on disposals. As the company has interest rate and currency swaps that do not satisfy the IFRS criteria for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Additionally, the statement of comprehensive income showing the direct result presents the related taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Items excluded from the direct result and their tax effects are presented in the statement of income showing the indirect result. Earnings per share have been calculated both from the direct and indirect results in accordance with the instructions issued by the European Public Real Estate Association EPRA. The direct and indirect result and the earnings per share calculated from them are consistent with the company's financial result and earnings per share for the period.

Technopolis Plc's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Net sales and other operating income

Net sales consist primarily of the rental revenues from premises, service revenues and consulting revenues related to business operations. Revenues are recognized on an accrual basis.

The operating grants received for various development projects are recognized in other operating income. Similarly, the expenses related to the development projects are recognized in other operating expenses and personnel expenses.

Measurement of non-current assets

Intangible and tangible assets are measured at original cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful life according to pre-determined depreciation plans. Depreciation according to plan is presented in the income statement. The depreciation based on estimated useful life is as follows:

Intangible rights 20
%, straight-line depreciation
Other long-term expenditure 10 %, straight-line depreciation
Buildings and structures
(stone and similar) 2,0–2,5 %, straight-line
depreciation
Buildings and structures
(wood and similar) 3 %, straight-line depreciation
Machinery and equipment 25 %, depreciation from
book value

Additional expenses arising later will be capitalized if it is likely that they will inure additional economic benefit to the company and if they can be reliably determined and allocated to an asset. Otherwise, they will be recognized as an expense in the income statement. Existing and unfinished buildings also include interest expenses capitalized during the financial year. Projects in progress

also include capitalized personnel expenses and land lease rents for the construction period.

Other long-term expenditures mainly include alteration work on leased premises, depreciated over the duration of the alteration work rent or the term of the lease. With regard to long-term leases, alteration work is, however, depreciated using a maximum annual depreciation rate of 10%.

The merger difference is entirely allocated to buildings and structures. The depreciation period of merger difference corresponds to the depreciation period of buildings and structures.

In the parent company financial statements, the depreciation difference is presented in the income statement as appropriations, while the accumulated depreciation difference is presented in the balance sheet as accumulated appropriations.

Translation of foreign currency items

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of each transaction. At the end of the financial year, unsettled foreign currency transaction balances are valued at the average rates of the balance sheet date.

Valuation of financial instruments

Interest rate and currency swaps have been recognized at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit of loss for the period.

Income taxes

The direct income taxes for the financial year are accrued and recognized in the income statement. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not entered in the parent company balance sheet.

Comparability of information for the previous financial period

In comparing the information for the financial period, it should be noticed that Innopoli Ltd. and Technopolis Ventures Ltd. were merged with Technopolis Plc on May 31, 2011.

Board

This document is an English translation of the Finnish auditor's report. Only the Finnish version of the report is legally binding.

To the Annual General Meeting of Technopolis Plc

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Technopolis Plc for the year ended 31 December, 2011. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

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

Auditor's Responsibility

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

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

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

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

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

Opinion on the company's financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors

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