Tecnotree Interim report
TECNOTREE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY – 31 MARCH 2012 (UNAUDITED)
27 April 2012 at 8:30 am
Tecnotree is a global supplier of telecom IT solutions, providing products and services for charging, billing, customer care, and messaging and content services. The company's product portfolio comprises virtually the full range of business management systems for telecom operators, with standard solutions for fixed networks, mobile services and broad band and for managing subscriptions, services and cash flows for prepaid and post-paid customers. Tecnotree has a strong footing especially in developing markets.
NET SALES LOW BUT ORDER BOOK HIGH
- Net sales for the review period were EUR 10.0 million (EUR 10.6 million for the same period in the previous year) and the adjusted operating result was EUR -5.8 (-4.9) million. The operating result was EUR -7.2 (-8.3) million and the result for the period EUR -8.8 (- 8.1) million.
- First quarter net sales were low, which is quite typical for the company.
- The order book at the end of the period stood at EUR 36.2 (22.1) million. The high order book was due to the USD 30.5 million sale in Latin America announced by the company on 20 December 2011. EUR 1.4 million of this has been recorded in net sales for this period.
- After the close of the period the company has announced a new order received for USD 24 million, so that the order book at publication of this release stands at a record level.
- To finance the company's working capital and improve liquidity, Tecnotree is planning to obtain at least EUR 10 million in additional financing during 2012.

President and CEO Kaj Hagros:
"Net sales in the first quarter of 2012 totalled EUR 10.0 million, slightly down on the same period in the previous year (EUR 10.6 million). Low net sales for the first quarter are quite typical for the company. Many service contracts are renewed in the second quarter. At the end of 2011 the company received the biggest order in its history. Deliveries for this USD 30.5 million order have begun, but most of it will be recorded in the income statement during the coming periods. Thanks to this and the USD 24 million order we announced in April 2012, our order book has almost tripled from its level one year ago, showing that the change in strategy announced in 2011 is bearing fruit. We are planning to obtain additional financing to finance growth."

Tecnotree's net sales in the review period decreased 5.5 per cent to EUR 10.0 (10.6) million.

RESULT ANALYSIS
The income and costs recorded for Tecnotree's business operations vary considerably from one quarter to another. For this reason it is important to base an examination of the profitability of the company on the result for more than one quarter.
| INCOME STATEMENT, KEY FIGURES, MEUR | 1-3/2012 | 1-3/2011 | 1-12/2011 |

The USD 30.5 million project announced in December 2011 got underway, but only EUR 1.4 million of this was included in net sales for this period. As in previous years, Tecnotree received few new orders and net sales for these during the first quarter. As in the past, the situation is expected to improve clearly from the second quarter onwards.
Taxes for the period totaled EUR 0.9 (0.2) million, including the following items:
| TAXES IN INCOME STATEMENT, MEUR | 1-3/2012 | 1-3/2011 | 1-12/2011 |

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
Tecnotree's liquid funds totalled EUR 6.0 (31 December 2011: 6.7) million. The change in cash and cash equivalents for the review period was EUR -0.7 million. The company expected to receive advance payment during the quarter for a major project in Argentina, but payment was delayed until the second quarter due to general measures imposed on imports by the Argentine Central Bank.
The balance sheet total on 31 March 2012 stood at EUR 86.3 (31 December 2011: 99.9) million. Interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 27.1 (31 December 2011: 28.1) million. The net debt to equity ratio (net gearing) was 50.9 per cent (31 December 2011: 43.1 %) and the equity ratio was 48.6 per cent (31 December 2011: 50.7 %).
Tecnotree's gross capital expenditure during the review period, excluding the capitalisation of development costs, was EUR 0.3 (0.3) million or 2.5 per cent (2.8 %) of net sales.
Financial income and expenses (net) during the review period totalled EUR -0.7 (-0.5) million. The exchange rate losses consist mainly of exchange rate differences from intragroup payables in the parent company.

Tecnotree estimates that its net sales will increase in 2012. To finance the company's working capital and improve liquidity, Tecnotree is planning to obtain at least EUR 10 million in additional financing during 2012. It is planned to obtain at least EUR 5 million of this through a share issue, instead of the hybrid bond that the company had considered earlier. The company has already negotiated a EUR 5 million credit limit for working capital finance that will become available to the company once commitments to subscribe to the planned share issue total at least EUR 5 million.
Tecnotree has overdue receivables totalling EUR 7.5 million from a customer owned by the government of Libya, and impairment of EUR 5.1 million was recognised prior to the current review period. The company is still negotiating with the customer and its state owner on
payment of the receivables. The company believes that at least the net value for the receivable of EUR 2.4 million in the balance sheet will be obtained.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Tecnotree is a global supplier of telecom IT solutions, providing products, services and solutions for charging, billing, customer care, and messaging and content services. The company's product portfolio comprises virtually the full range of business management systems for telecom operators, with standard solutions for fixed networks, mobile services and broad band and for managing subscriptions, services and cash flows for prepaid and post-paid customers. Tecnotree's solutions enable communication service providers to expand their business by creating digital market places, individual service packages and personalised subscriptions, and increase added value throughout their customers' life cycles.
Tecnotree's business is based on solution project sales, system maintenance and on customising, support and operating services. Tecnotree has a strong footing especially in developing markets such as Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by Tecnotree are the geographical areas, which are Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific). This is because their results are monitored separately in the company's internal financial reporting. Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the Group's management board.
Net sales and the result for the operating segments are presented based on the location of customers. The result for the operating segments includes the costs that can be allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Common costs for the whole Group as well as taxes and financial items are not allocated.
GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS
Tecnotree Group operates in the following geographical areas: Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific).
Americas (North, Central and South America)
Net sales in the Americas rose from the corresponding period in the previous year, and the order book is strong. Prospects in the area are positive, with active demand for replacing critical business support systems. Sales in the area comprise expansions and upgrades of solutions installed for current customers, the renewal of annual maintenance contracts, and the start-up of project deliveries for the major order received at the end of last year.
Europe
Net sales in Europe declined slightly from the corresponding period in the previous year and the order book stood at the same level. In Europe Tecnotree is focusing on growth for its new
solution offering, especially in the areas of product, order and customer management and in interactive voice service applications. Progress was made in both sectors during the first quarter and concrete results are expected in the second half of the year.
MEA (Middle East and Africa)
Sales and the order book in the Middle East and Africa weakened significantly from the corresponding period in the previous year. Progress in two key customer projects was slower than forecast. During the first quarter of the year Tecnotree focused in particular on surveying potential new customers and projects with its reinforced sales unit.
APAC (Asia and Pacific)
Net sales in the APAC region increased considerably from the previous year. Successful sales of additional services to existing customers lie behind this improvement. During the first part of the year the company has focused on surveying potential new customers and renewing and expanding the service contracts of existing customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs during the review period totalled EUR 2.9 (3.4) million, corresponding to 28.7 per cent (32.3 %) of net sales. No development costs were capitalised during the review period. Previously capitalised costs are amortised over 3-5 years from the start of commercial use. R&D costs of EUR 1.4 (1.8) million were amortised during the review period.
PERSONNEL
At the end of March 2012 Tecnotree employed 981 (31 December 2011: 926) persons, of whom 84 (31 December 2011: 80) worked in Finland and 897 (31 December 2011: 846) elsewhere.

STOCK OPTION PROGRAMMES AND NEW INCENTIVE SCHEME
During the review period the company had in force the 2006 and 2009 stock option programmes. The exercise period for the 2009B options ended on 31 March 2012. The state of the options on 31 March 2012 was as follows:
| Maximum number | Number of options | Exercise | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Option series | of options | granted | Exercise period | price |
| 2006C | 667,000 | 647,000 | 1.4.2009–30.4.2012 | 0.98 |
| Total | 667,000 | 647,000 | ||
| 2009B | 2,394,013 | 1,408,206 | 1.4.2010–31.3.2012 | 0.86 |
| 2009C | 3,420,018 | 1,917,511 | 1.4.2011–31.3.2013 | 0.86 |
| Total | 5,814,031 | 3,325,717 | ||
| 2006 and 2009 Total | 6,481,031 | 3,972,717 |
Some of the 2009B and 2009C stock options become available to key personnel based on a performance appraisal. The stock options are part of the incentive and commitment scheme for key personnel.
Altogether 6,481,031 stock options remained on 31 March 2012 of all the company's stock options in circulation. The shares that could be subscribed on the basis of these stock options accounted for a maximum of 8.09 % of the Company's shares and the votes carried by the shares after any increase in share capital. On 31 March 2011 the Company still held 2,508,314 of all the current stock options. The issued stock options had a maximum diluting effect on 31 March 2012 of 5.12 %.
During the review period the Company had a current incentive scheme that the Board of Directors had established on 25 October 2011. Any bonus in the scheme for the 2012 earning period is based on Tecnotree Group's earnings per share (EPS), adjusted operating profit and the Company's trade weighted average share price in December 2012, as well as on fulfilling the requirement to purchase shares. No bonus will be paid for the 2012 earning period if the Group's cash flow in the 2012 financial year is negative. Share purchases as part of the scheme by members of the Management Board were made during the first quarter of the year. The Board of Directors has still not nominated other key personnel for the scheme.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
The risks and uncertainty factors for Tecnotree are explained in the 2011 Board of Directors' Report.
Tecnotree's risks and uncertainties in the near future relate to major projects that are in progress or under negotiation, to the timing of these and progress made in them, to receivables, to changes in foreign exchange rates and to financing. Tecnotree estimates that its net sales will increase in 2012. To finance the company's working capital and improve liquidity Tecnotree is planning to obtain additional financing of some EUR 10 million during 2012. It is planned to obtain at least EUR 5 million of this through a share issue, instead of the hybrid bond that the company had considered earlier. The company has already negotiated a EUR 5 million credit limit for financing working capital that will become available to the company once commitments to subscribe to the planned share issue total at least EUR 5 million.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF PERIOD
After the end of the period the Company has announced that it has won a major new contract with a value of USD 24 million in Latin America.
PROSPECTS IN 2012
Tecnotree estimates that net sales and the operating result in 2012 will be better than in 2011. The adjusted operating result is estimated to be positive. Variations in the quarterly figures will be considerable. The cash flow after investments is also expected to improve compared to 2011. The adjusted operating result is the operating result before R&D capitalisation, amortisation of this and one-time costs.

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE INTERIM REPORT
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS reporting and evaluation principles and applying the same accounting principles as in the previous annual financial statements, but not complying with all the requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The new and revised IFRS regulations that came into force on 1 January 2012 have not had a significant impact on the accounting principles and basis for preparing the interim report.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by Tecnotree are the geographical areas, which are Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific). This is because their results are monitored separately in the company's internal financial reporting. Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the Group's management board. Net sales for the operating segments are presented based on the location of customers.
