Tecnotree Corporation Financial Report 1 January – 31 December 2011 (unaudited)

Financial Statement Report
1 February at 8.30 am EET

Record order book

• Net sales for the whole year were EUR 62.3 (60.7) million and the adjusted operating result was EUR -1.7 (-2.5) million. The operating result was EUR -11.1 (-8.1) million and the result for the period EUR -15.6 (-11.0) million
• The order book at the end of the year stood at a record level of EUR 40.4 million (31 December 2010: EUR 14.3 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.
• Tecnotree has succeeded in taking advantage of the synergies in sales and products created through the company acquisition in India through its new strategy. This has taken longer than expected.

* Adjusted operating result = operating result before R & D capitalisation, amortization of this and one-time costs. Details of these are given in the section “Result analysis”. Unless otherwise stated, all figures presented below are for the review period 1-12/2011 and the figures for comparison are for the corresponding period 1-12/2010.

President and CEO Kaj Hagros:

Net sales in 2011 totalled EUR 62.3 million, slightly better than in the previous year (EUR 60.7 million). Fourth quarter net sales increased 15% in 2011 from the corresponding period in the previous year. At the end of the year the company received the biggest order in its history. Thanks to this and other orders received, the order book at the end of the year virtually tripled from the previous year’s figure to EUR 40.4 million.

After a weak first quarter in 2011, the second and third quarters were better periods and the adjusted operating result was positive. In terms of on-going operations the fourth quarter would also have been positive, but an impairment of EUR 2.8 million on receivables from a customer owned by the government of Libya turned the adjusted operating result for the quarter into a loss of EUR 2.0 million.

Sales in all geographical regions were at a similar level to the figures for 2010. During 2011 the company has renewed its strategy and its organization, aiming at growth in its business operations, higher profitability and higher quality customer service in 2012. Deliveries of information systems for managing the business of teleoperators, in line with the new strategy, will tie up more working capital. For this reason the company intends to strengthen its capital with additional financing. A major part of our sales is in the emerging markets which are not exposed to the same kind finance crisis as the European and the North American economies.

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 capitalization, amortization of this and one-time costs

Proposal concerning the result

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 28 March 2012 that no dividend be paid for the financial year ended 31 December 2011, and that the parent company’s loss for the financial year, EUR -13,872,371.72, be covered by non-restricted equity reserves.
