CEO's comments
Adjusted for unrealized currency effects, increased amortization and the above one-time charge, the underlying profit is slightly stronger than last year, which also indicates by the improved cash flow. In addition, the earlier communicated sales and earnings decrease in business area Estate Agents in Sweden has now fully materialized in the quarter.
In the Norwegian part of our business area Estate Agents an efficiency program was executed in the third quarter. This has a negative one-time effect on the result of approximately 3 MSEK. The program is expected to generate about 4 MSEK in annual savings.
The third quarter began with the sale of the Media business, a unique event for Vitec. Media has developed towards custom application development, resulting in a significantly
higher proportion of sales of services than in other parts of the Group. The sale was made to a consulting company where we believe Media's customers and employees will have good opportunities to continue to develop.
Shortly after the sale of Media we acquired Tietomitta OY forming a new business area – Environment. At the
end of the quarter, we made our latest acquisition Futursoft OY that expands the business area Auto. Together, these acquisitions bring more than 80 million in sales with good profitability.
Vitec risk diversification is good, the proportion of recurring revenue high, 81% in the quarter, providing a good ability to absorb adverse events. This is proven by the Groups ability to develop as a whole despite the drop in business area Estate Agents.
The number of active dialogues for potential acquisitions remains high and we devoted significant resources to maintaining and further developing these dialogues. Vitec's financial position and readiness for future acquisitions is high, and we see good opportunities for further acquisition-based growth.
A clear shift from traditional license sales to subscription of cloud-based systems reduces reliance on individual license sales, which increases the long-term ability to control the business. This, together with the employees' proven capacity to innovate and integrate acquisitions, provides a solid foundation for long-term development of our business. With the acquisition of well-established companies and a high proportion of recurring revenues, Vitec continues on this path, to act in several independent and specialized niches to achieve sustainable profitable growth.
Lars Stenlund, CEO

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES AND OTHER COMMENTS
This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, as adopted by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Classification and valuation
Financial instruments are initially recognized at their acquisition value corresponding to the instrument´s fair value plus transaction costs. A financial instrument is classified when recognized for the first time, including on the basis of the purpose for which the instrument was acquired. Vitec has financial instrument in the categories loans receivable and accounts receivable, financial liabilities valued at fair value, and financial liabilities valued at their accrued acquisition value.
Financial liabilities valued at fair value
According to IFRS 7, information must be provided about the fair value of each financial asset and financial liability, irrespective of whether they are reported in the balance sheet or not. Vitec judges that the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities is close to the reported book value.
All of the company´s financial instruments that are subject to valuation at fair value are classified at level 3. The change for the period in respect of financial instruments at level 3 refers primarily to additional purchase prices for acquisitions. Conditional purchase prices are valued at fair value base on available data, such as contractual terms, as well as relevant assessments in respect of anticipated fulfillment of conditions. When calculating fair value, an assumed interest rate of 0,9% has been used. As the difference between fair value and book value is marginal, no correction has taken place.
The following table shows the difference between fair value and booked value.
| Recurring valuations at fair value, as at 30 September 2016 | |
|---|---|
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | -- |
| Level 1 | level 2 | Level 3 | Book value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Additional purchase price Fox Publish AS | 2 769 | 2 769 | ||
| Additional purchase price Futursoft AS | 35 158 | 35 426 |
For all other financial assets and liabilities, booked value is consistent with fair value.
