Report of the Board of Directors

A YEAR OF CHANGE BEHIND US, RENEWAL CONTINUES IN 2013. The key activities of the Board of Directors during 2012 were related to advancing the company’s strong transition process and securing the fi nancial position of the company. In addition, during the fourth quarter, the CEO of Ixonos Plc changed and a new CFO was recruited.

We were largely successful in growing the company’s new business opera-tions during the year. However, our costs remained too high in relation to op-erations, despite the adaptation measures we had taken. We were unable to execute cost saving measures as planned, and the company continued to make a loss in the fourth quarter. The Board of Directors started the search for a new CEO in November and was able to complete the process very rapidly, within a few weeks. In addition to good leadership qualities, the key selection criteria for the new CEO included knowledge of international sales as well as strong evidence of executing change processes and operating profi tably in challenging environments. At the same time, the Board also had to recruit a new CFO. This process was also swi� . The selection criteria included strong hands-on knowl-edge and experience in project operations, an area important to the company.

Because of the clearly unprofi table operations in 2012 and the one-time ex-penses related to the major restructuring of the company, the fi nancial position of the company deteriorated signifi cantly towards the end of the year. To correct the situation, the Board of Directors initiated action to carry out a rights issue. At the same time, the company took additional economy measures while nonethe-less striving to ensure its ability to gain new revenue.

EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL PERIOD

Focusing of strategy and continuation of cost saving activities. On 25 July 2012, Ixonos announced that it will refocus strategy as well as the continue of its cost saving activities. Due to changes in the technology strategy of the company’s single most signifi cant customer, demand for Ixonos’ mobile so� ware develop-ment services in Finland had decreased substantially. The company’s acquisition of new customers and its new product and service launches did not compensate for the lost business.

Ixonos announced that because of these changes, it would further focus its ef-forts to seek growth opportunities with European and North American customers. The company also reported that it would sharpen its solution and service off ering in the Connected Devices, Online Solutions and User Experience Design service areas, catering especially for the telecommunications, automotive and media industries.

As part of the strategy refocus, Ixonos carried out cooperation negotiations with its personnel in the Connected Devices service area in Finland. The reasons for the negotiations were related to fi nances, production and reorganisation. Action to re-organise operations and improve effi ciency was also taken in Estonia, Slovakia and Asia, in accordance with local legislation and practice.

Changes in the Management Team. The following changes have occurred in the Management Team during the fi nancial period:• Vice President Taina Makkonen lest the company in August. • Senior Vice President Timo Kaisla returned from his sabbatical leave and re sumed his position as member of the Management Team. • Senior Vice President Kari Liuska lest the company on 31 October 2012. • Senior Vice President Pasi Iljin was appointed to the Management Team on 1 November 2012. • Kari Happonen acted as President and CEO until 5 November 2012.• Timo Kaisla acted as the company’s interim CEO from 6 November to 31 December 2012.

• Esa Harju was appointed as President and CEO on 14 November 2012. He took up his duties on 1 January 2013.• CFO Timo Leinonen resigned on 23 October 2012 and lest the company on 22 January 2013. • Teppo Talvinko took up his duties as CFO on 1 February 2013.

Cooperation negotiations. During 2012, Ixonos adjusted its cost structure to the new market situation so as to ensure the competitiveness of the company, and cooperation negotiations were carried out for reasons relating to fi nances, production and reorganisation. These negotiations applied to all personnel in Finland except those employed in the User Experience Design business unit. As a result of the negotiations, 39 employees were laid off temporarily and 121 were made redundant during the year.

Non-recurring expenses. In September and December, Ixonos recorded approxi-mately EUR 3.8 million in one-time restructuring expenses through profi t and loss. These expenses were related to e.g. redundancy payments, lease-related provisions, adjustment of international operations and depreciation of capitalised R&D expenses.

A year of strong product launches. Ixonos launched a multitude of new products and productised services during 2012. These launches have enabled Ixonos to off er tangible, value-adding solutions to new customer segments, and they have also given the company entirely new visibility in Finnish and international media.

• Ixonos’ authorised testing services for MirrorLink products, together with Nemko, May 2012• Ixonos Experience Store for Automotive, July 2012• a self-service tool for the Ixonos Elastic Cloud service, September 2012.

Partnerships for a strengthened market position. In 2011, Ixonos joined the Car Connectivity Consortium to make new contacts with automotive companies. Ixonos has succeeded well in gaining industry visibility, e.g. as crowd-pleasing speakers at international events. In spring 2012, Ixonos joined the Genivi alliance to grow its networks in the automotive industry.

Ixonos uses the Red Hat technology platform in its Elastic Cloud service, and the two companies have cooperated intensively in marketing. Ixonos won the valued Red Hat Nordic Channel Project of The Year award in 2012.

SEGMENTS. Since the beginning of 2012, Ixonos reports its operations as a sin-gle segment. The reporting segment comprises the three service areas described above: Connected Devices, Online Solutions and User Experience Design. The prod-uct and service off ering of the service areas make up the company’s core business, which focuses on wireless devices, online services and mobile-application R&D.

TURNOVER. Consolidated turnover for the fi nancial period was EUR 56.9 million (2011: EUR 81.4 million), which is 30.2 per cent less than in the previous year.

FINANCIAL RESULT. Consolidated operating profi t before goodwill impairment and non-recurring items was EUR −9.3 million (2011: EUR 1.9 million) and profi t before tax was EUR −25.0 million (2011: EUR 1.4 million). Profi t for the fi nancial period was EUR −21.9 million (2011: EUR 0.9 million). Earnings per share were EUR −1.45 (2011: EUR 0.06). Cash fl ow from operating activities was EUR −0.07 (2011: EUR 0.34) per share. The company incurred one-time operational restructuring expenses of some EUR 3.8 million and recognised EUR 11.2 million in goodwill impairment; these items aff ect the result for the fi nancial period.

RETURN ON CAPITAL. Consolidated return on equity was −119.0 per cent (2011: 3.2 per cent) and return on investment was −81.6 per cent (2011: 5.4 per cent).

INVESTMENTS. Investments during the fi nancial period totalled EUR 3.2 million (2011: EUR 2.9 million). They consisted mostly of hardware investments into the development of cloud and hosting services as well as EUR 0.9 million (2011: EUR 1.1 million) in R&D expenses for new product platforms and solutions.

BALANCE SHEET, FINANCING AND CASH FLOW. The balance sheet total was EUR 33.3 million (2011: EUR 53.0 million). Shareholders’ equity was EUR 7.5 mil-lion (2011: EUR 29.4 million). The equity ratio was 22.6 per cent (2011: 55.6 per cent). The group’s liquid assets at the end of the fi nancial period amounted to EUR 0.5 million (2011: EUR 1.5 million).

At the end of the review period, the balance sheet showed EUR 10.4 million (2011: EUR 7.3 million) in bank loans. This amount includes overdrast in use.

The company announced in September that it had signed an agreement on changing the maturities of its interest-bearing liabilities as well as on additional funding. In accordance with the agreement, the fi nanciers granted Ixonos a EUR 3 million non-equity loan. Additionally, EUR 3.5 million in short-term fi nancing was converted into a fi ve-year loan. Thus, the overall value of the fi nancial package was approximately EUR 6.5 million. A fi ve-year debt-servicing programme was agreed on, and the loan is non-amortising during the fi rst year. The bank loans have cov-enants attached to them. These covenants are based on the equity ratio and on the proportion of interest-bearing bank loans to the 12-month rolling operating profi t.

At 31 December 2012, the company did not meet the terms of the covenants. The company’s non-current borrowings are therefore presented as current li-

abilities, in accordance with IFRS. However, the company has received covenant waivers for the next 6–12 months from its lenders.

As one way to improve the company’s balance sheet and fi nancial position, preparations for a share issue were started. The issue was completed success-fully during January and February 2013.

Consolidated cash fl ow from operating activities was EUR −1.0 million (2011: EUR 5.1 million) during the fi nancial period. By 31 December 2012, the company had sold EUR 2.3 million (2011: EUR 3.0 million) in accounts receivable so as to reduce their turnaround time.

GOODWILL. On 31 December 2012, the consolidated balance sheet included EUR 12.4 million in goodwill. This is EUR 11.2 million less than at the end of the fi nancial period 2011. Goodwill has decreased due to impairment recognised in March and December.

In February, the company published its fi nancial statement release, in which it estimated that the risk of goodwill impairment had increased substantially. The company noted that should its projections regarding that year’s developments and the rationalisation program fail to materialise, goodwill might be impaired. At the end of March, the company tested for impairment the goodwill distributed among the new cash generating service areas of the group. The refi ned estimates of the company’s turnover and profi t were lower than the ones made at the pre-vious turn of the year, and because of this, the company recognised in the fi rst quarter a goodwill impairment of EUR 9.2 million.

In December, the company decided to recognise a EUR 2 million goodwill im-pairment. This impairment was due to a weakened near-future profi tability outlook caused by slower than expected recovery from the market changes in 2011 and 2012.

PERSONNEL. The number of personnel averaged 824 (2011: 1,118) during the fi nancial period. At the end of the period, the company had 610 (2011: 1,031) em-ployees. Staff decreased in Finland as well as abroad. At the end of the fi nancial period, the Ixonos Group had 410 employees (2011: 609) in Finnish companies, while group companies in other countries employed 200 (2011: 422). During the fourth quarter, the number of employees decreased by 73.

Salaries and fees during 2012 came to EUR 33.7 million (2011: EUR 39.2 mil-lion), pension expenses to EUR 4.9 million (2011: EUR 6.3 million) and other in-direct personnel costs to EUR 2.9 million (2011: EUR 3.1 million). The company’s personnel expenses totalled EUR 41.5 million (2011: EUR 48.6 million), which is approximately 50.9 per cent of all expenses (2011: 61.1 per cent).

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The group’s R&D expenses during the fi -nancial period 2012 were EUR 2.4 million (2011: EUR 2.2 million). The profi t for the fi nancial period includes EUR 1.5 million (2011: EUR 1.1 million) in R&D ex-penses. A total of EUR 0.9 million (2009: EUR 1.1 million) in R&D expenses was capitalised during the fi nancial period. The R&D expenses are associated with new products and services launched in 2012.

SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL

Share turnover and price . During the fi nancial period, the highest price of the com-pany’s share was EUR 1.20 (2011: EUR 2.79) and the lowest EUR 0.47 (2011: EUR 0.66). The closing price on 31 December 2012 was EUR 0.48 (2011: EUR 0.80). The average price over the fi nancial period was EUR 0.87 (2011: EUR 1.30). The number of shares traded during the fi nancial period was 3,661,398 (2011: 7,065,258), which corresponds to 24.2 per cent (2011: 46.8 per cent) of the total number of shares at the end of the period. Based on the closing price at 31 December 2012, the market value of the company’s shares was EUR 7,249,192 (2011: EUR 12,081,987).

Ixonos announced on 21 December 2012 that it was preparing a share issue directed at its present shareholders. The company intended to raise a maximum

of EUR 4.3 million through the issue, which was successfully completed during January and February 2013.

Share capital. At the beginning as well as the end of the review period, the com-pany’s registered share capital was EUR 585,394.16 and the number of shares was 15,102,484.

Option plan 2011. The Board of Directors of Ixonos Plc decided on 30 November 2011 to grant new options. This decision was based on the authorisation given by the An-nual General Meeting on 29 March 2011.

The options were issued by 31 December 2011, free of charge, to a subsidiary wholly owned by Ixonos Plc. This subsidiary will distribute the options, as the Board decides, to employees of Ixonos Plc and other companies in the Ixonos Group, to increase their commitment and motivation. Options will not be issued to members of the Board of Directors of Ixonos Plc or to the Ixonos Group’s senior management (Ixonos Management Invest Oy shareholders).

The options will be marked IV/A, IV/B and IV/C. A total of 600,000 options will be issued. According to the terms of the options, the Board of Directors decides how the options will be divided between option series and, if needed, how undis-tributed options will be converted from one series to another.

Each option entitles its holder to subscribe for one new or treasury share in Ixonos Plc. The shares that can be subscribed for with options comprise 3.82 per cent of all Ixonos Plc shares and votes on a fully diluted basis.

The exercise period for the IV/A options will begin on 1 October 2014, for the IV/B options on 1 October 2015 and for the IV/C options on 1 October 2016. The ex-ercise periods for all options will end on 31 December 2018. The exercise price for each option series is a trade volume weighted average price at NASDAQ OMX Hel-sinki. The period during which this average price is determined is 1 September – 30 November 2011 for the IV/A options (resulting in an exercise price of EUR 0.86), 1 June – 31 August 2012 for the IV/B options and 1 June – 31 August 2013 for the IV/C options. The exercise prices will be reduced by the amount of dividends, and they can also be adjusted under other circumstances specifi ed in the option terms.

At the end of the year, 410,000 options have been allocated to series IV/A and granted to employees of group companies in accordance with the terms of the option plan.

Shareholders. On 31 December 2012, the company had 2,988 shareholders (2011: 3,201). Private persons owned 55.5 per cent (2011: 56.6 per cent) and institutions 44.5 per cent (2011: 43.4 per cent) of the shares. Foreign ownership was 7.6 per cent (2011: 7.2 per cent) of all shares.

Board authorisations. On 4 April 2012, the Annual General Meeting of Ixonos Plc authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a rights issue and on issuing stock options and other special rights entitling to shares pursuant to chapter 10, sec-tion 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act (624/2006) as well as on transferring treasury shares in one or more lots under the following terms:

The number of shares to be issued under the authorisation may not exceed 1,500,000, which corresponds to approximately 10 per cent of all company shares at the time of convening the Annual General Meeting.

Within the limits of the authorisation, the Board of Directors may decide on all terms of the rights issue, of the issue of special rights entitling to shares and of the treasury share transfers.

The meeting also granted the Board of Directors authority to decide on cred-iting the subscription price to the share capital or, in whole or in part, to the invested non-restricted equity fund.

Shares as well as special rights entitling to shares may also be issued in a way that deviates from the pre-emptive rights of shareholders, if a weighty

IXONOS | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2012 5

fi nancial reason for this exists as laid out in the Limited Liability Companies Act. In such a case, the authorisation may be used to fi nance corporate acquisitions or other investments related to the operations of the company as well as to maintain and improve the solvency of the group of companies.

The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board of Directors to decide on acquiring, or accepting as pledge, a maximum of 1,500,000 own shares, us-ing the company’s non-restricted equity. This amount of shares corresponds to approximately 10 per cent of all company shares at the time of convening the meeting. The acquisition may take place in one or more lots. The acquisition price will not exceed the highest market price in public trading at the time of the acquisition. In executing the acquisition of its own shares, the company may enter into derivative, share lending and other contracts customary on the capital market, within the limits set by law and regulations. The authorisation also en-titles the Board to decide on a directed acquisition, i.e. on acquiring shares in a proportion other than that of the shares held by the shareholders.

The shares may be acquired to execute corporate acquisitions or other busi-ness arrangements related to the company’s operations, to improve the capital structure of the company, to otherwise transfer the shares or to cancel them.

The authorisation includes the right for the Board of Directors to decide on all other matters related to the acquisition of shares.

The authorisations are eff ective until the Annual General Meeting 2013.

EVENTS AFTER THE FINANCIAL PERIOD

Market events in early 2013. At the beginning of 2013, Ixonos announced new ac-counts, including the National Geographic Society and Firstbeat Technologies. Ixonos and Sharp Europe reported that they would collaborate to create a mobile device for a mutual customer. Ixonos announced that Samsung Electronics had chosen Ixonos as its innovation partner, particularly to develop the Android user experience.

Ixonos Media Spark™ was launched in January 2013. In February, Ixonos launched technology components for embedded systems. These components include a modern embedded Linux solution as well as a fast HD video streaming solution suitable e.g. for closed-circuit TV.

New registration document and working capital statement. On 21 January 2013, Ixonos published its registration document, which the Financial Supervi-sory Authority had approved on 17 January 2013, as provided in the Securities Market Act (746/2012). The registration document contains information about the company, its operations and its fi nancial position. It is valid for 12 months from the date of approval. The new registration document includes a working capital statement noting that the company’s present working capital will not be suffi cient for the company’s needs over the next twelve months, but that the company’s working capital will be suffi cient for the company’s needs over the next twelve months if the company’s cash fl ow develops as forecast and planned and the share issue is completed in its entirety. However, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to fulfi l its fi nancial covenants under all circum-stances. If the company cannot comply with its covenants, the fi nanciers are en-titled to e.g. call in the loans or renegotiate the terms of the loans. The company and its fi nanciers have begun negotiations on additional fi nancing. The manage-ment of the company trusts that should the working capital requirements cause a need for additional fi nancing, the company will be able to meet that need.

Share issue. The rights issue of Ixonos Plc ended on 7 February 2013. All 20,136,645 shares off ered were subscribed for. The number of shares a� er the issue is 35,239,129. A total of 19,052,212 shares were subscribed for with subscription rights. This amount corresponds to approximately 94.6 per cent of the shares off ered. In the secondary subscription, 5,358,879 shares were subscribed for without subscrip-tion rights, and subscriptions for 1,084,433 shares were accepted. The subscriptions

thus correspond to approximately 121.2 per cent of the shares off ered. Ixonos raised approximately EUR 4.23 million gross through the issue. As all off ered shares were subscribed for, none of the underwriting commitments was utilised.

On 16 January 2013, because of the rights issue, Ixonos’ Board of Directors adjusted the subscription ratio and exercise price associated with the option rights in the 2011 option plan, in accordance with the terms of the options. The adjustment was made to ensure equal treatment of option holders and share-holders, and it was announced in a stock exchange release on 13 February 2013.

Cooperation negotiations, rationalisation of the group structure. Ixonos an-nounced that it would commence cooperation negotiations with its employees for reasons related to fi nances, production and reorganisation.

The company’s operational reorientation and the rationalisation of the group structure began in 2012, but the speed and realised extent of these measures have been insuffi cient. The goal of the negotiations is to adjust the cost structure of the Finnish companies to the new situation and the desired direction as well as to ensure the competitiveness and profi tability of the company.

The negotiations apply to all personnel in Finland. The results of the negotia-tions are estimated to aff ect not more than 87 employees in Finland.

At the same time, the company announced that it would discontinue its operations in China and relocate its production activities in Tallinn to Košice, Slovakia during 2013.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND NEAR�FUTURE UNCERTAINTY FACTORS. The risk management of Ixonos Plc aims to ensure undisturbed continuity and develop-ment of the company’s operations, support attainment of the commercial tar-gets set by the company and promote increasing company value. Details on the risk management organisation and process as well as on recognised risks are presented on the company’s website at www.ixonos.com.

Changes in key customer accounts may have adverse eff ects on Ixonos’ op-erations, earning power and fi nancial position. Should a major customer switch its purchases from Ixonos to its competitors or make forceful changes to its own operating model, Ixonos would have limited ability to acquire, in the short term, new customer volume to compensate for such changes.

The reduction and rationalisation of the company’s operations cause one-time expenses, such as redundancy payments in various countries. This increases the company’s need for short-term fi nancing. The company manages this need by creating, together with fi nanciers, adequate buff ers to ensure suffi cient funds as well as by facilitating the circulation of working capital.

The balance sheet of the company includes a signifi cant amount of goodwill, which may still be impaired should internal or external factors reduce the profi t expectations of the company or any of its cash generating units. Goodwill is tested during the fi nal quarter of each year and, if necessary, at other times.

The company’s fi nancial agreements include covenants. A covenant breach may increase the company’s fi nancial expenses or lead to a call for swi� par-tial or full repayment of non-equity loans. The main risks related to covenant breaches are associated with operating profi t fl uctuation due to the market situation and with a potential need to increase the company’s working capital through non-equity funding. The company manages these risks by negotiating with fi nanciers and by maintaining readiness for various fi nancing methods.

There is a risk that the working capital of the company will not be suffi cient to fund the company’s operations over the next twelve months. Although the company considers itself able to cover its need for working capital over the next twelve months through various means, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to ensure suffi cient working capital under all circumstances. A short-age of working capital may have a substantial adverse eff ect on the operations, result and fi nancial position of the company.

Options

Option plan 2011. The Board of Directors of Ixonos Plc decided on 30 November 2011 to grant new options. This decision was based on the authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting on 29 March 2011. The options were issued by 31 December 2011, free of charge, to a subsidiary wholly owned by Ixonos Plc. This subsidiary will distribute the options, as the Board decides, to employees of Ixonos Plc and other companies in the Ixonos Group.

The options will be marked IV/A, IV/B and IV/C. A total of 600,000 options will be issued. According to the terms of the options, the Board of Directors decides how the options will be divided between option series and, if needed, how undistributed options will be converted from one series to another. Each option entitles its holder to subscribe for one new or treasury share in Ixonos Plc. The shares that can be subscribed for with options comprise 3.82 per cent of all Ixonos Plc shares and votes on a fully diluted basis.

The exercise period for the IV/A options will begin on 1 October 2014, for the IV/B options on 1 October 2015 and for the IV/C options on 1 October 2016. The ex-ercise periods for all options will end on 31 December 2018. The exercise price for each option series is a trade volume weighted average price at NASDAQ OMX Hel-sinki. The period during which this average price is determined is 1 September – 30 November 2011 for the IV/A options (resulting in an exercise price of EUR 0.86), 1 June – 31 August 2012 for the IV/B options and 1 June – 31 August 2013 for the IV/C options. The exercise prices will be reduced by the amount of dividends and can also be adjusted under the other circumstances specifi ed in the option terms.

A total of 410,000 options have been allocated to series IV/A (2011: 495,000) and granted to employees of group companies in accordance with the terms of the option plan. The diff erence of 85,000 options less derives from lost options of employees no longer in service.

According to the Finnish Limited-liability Companies Act, the shareholders have an opportunity to approve or reject the fi nan-cial statement in the annual meeting a� er the publishing. The annual meeting has also the right for making a decision on changing the fi -nancial statement.

BASIS OF PREPARATION. Ixonos’ consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Report-ing Standards (IFRS). The fi nancial statements follow the IAS and IFRS standards, as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations, that were eff ec-tive on 31 December 2012. For the purposes of Finland’s Accounting Act (1336/1997) and the statutes enacted by virtue of it, international ac-counting standards’ refers to standards approved for application within the European Union according to the procedure enacted by Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as well as to interpretations of such standards. The accompanying notes to the consolidated fi nancial statements also comply with Finnish accounting and corporate legislation complementary to IFRS regulations.

The information in the consolidated fi nancial statements is pre-sented in thousand euros and the information of the parent company fi nancial statements in euros, if not otherwise mentioned. It is based on the historical cost convention, except for fi nancial assets recorded at fair value through profi t and loss.

Standards, interpretations and changes that have entered into force during 2012 did not infl uence the Group fi nancial statement.

Since 2013, the Group has applied the following new or revised standards and interpretations that came into eff ect on 1 January 2011:

IFRS 9 Financing instruments* This is the fi rst part of a wider project, the purpose is to replace IAS 39 with a new standard. The group will implement the new standard in 2015 at the earliest. The Group man-agement will clarify the potential eff ects of the change on the Group’s fi nancial statement.

* The standard, interpretation or change has not yet been approved to be applied in the EU.

No other already published yet not eff ective standard or interpretation has infl uence on the Group’s fi nancial statement.

CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES. The consolidated fi nancial statements include the parent Ixonos Plc and all subsidiaries in which the parent directly or indirectly holds more than 50 per cent of the votes or which it otherwise controls.

Mutual share ownership between Group companies has been elimi-nated through the cost method. Acquired subsidiaries are integrated in the consolidated fi nancial statements from the moment the Group obtains control. All transactions, receivables, liabilities and unrealised profi ts within the Group as well as internal profi t distribution are elimi-nated when preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements. The com-pany’s assets and liabilities are appreciated to their current values at the purchase moment and the remaining part is the goodwill from the diff erence of the purchase price and net assets.

CHANGES IN GROUP LEGAL STRUCTURE. During the fi nancial period 2011 there has been established the new subsidiaries Ixonos UK Ltd in Great Britain and Ixonos Hong Kong Limited in Hong Kong, China. The parent company, Ixonos Plc owns 100 per cent of the shares.

SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY. Ixonos Management Invest Oy is combined to the Group’s fi nancial stement. It has been establihsed for the share rewarding of the Group management. Ixonos Plc controls Ixonos Man-agement Invest Oy based on the shareholder and loan agreement and therefore the company is joined to the Group Financial statement. Ixonos Plc does not own any Ixonos Management Invest Oy shares. The income statement and balance sheet of Ixonos Management Invest Oy have been integrated in the consolidated fi nancial statements since the beginning of the arrangement. In the consolidated fi nancial statements, the Ixonos Plc shares that Ixonos Management Invest Oy holds have been deducted from the Group’s equity. In the consolidated fi nancial statements the ownership of the management in Ixonos Management Invest Oy is pre-sented as non-controlling interests.

The incentive plan is in force until spring 2013. At that time, it is intended to be dissolved in a manner to be decided. However, should the price of Ixonos’ share in April and May 2013 and 2014 be lower than the average price at which Ixonos Management Invest Oy acquired its shares, the plan will be continued one year at a time. The system will be annulled on 1 July 2015. The loan that Ixonos has granted will be paid back in its entirety no later than 1 July 2015, when the incentive plan will be dissolved.

SEGMENT REPORTING. Ixonos reports its business operations in one segment from 2012 on. The segment to be reported consists of the three operation segments described above: Connected Devices, Online

Page 19: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2012 - Digitalist Group · Focusing of strategy and continuation of cost saving activities. On 25 July 2012, Ixonos announced that it will refocus strategy as

IXONOS | TILINPÄÄTÖS 2012 17

Solutions and User Experience Design. The product and service port-folio of the operation segments forms the core business of the mobile devices, online services and mobile applications.

FOREIGN CURRENCY ITEMS. The fi gures related to the result and fi nancial status of the Group’s units are determined in the currency of each unit’s main operating environment, i.e. in the unit’s functional currency. The con-solidated fi nancial statements are presented in euros. Euro is the functional and presentation currency of the Group’s parent company.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary items in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the closing date. Non-monetary items that are denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the measurement date. Other non-monetary items are measured at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.

Gains and losses resulting from transactions in a foreign currency and from the translation of monetary items are recognised as fi nancial items in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses re-lated to business operations are included in the corresponding items above the operating profi t.

The profi t and loss items in the income statements of the foreign Group companies have been translated to euros using the average rate during the fi nancial period. Changing the profi t of the fi nancial period and the extensive result with various exchange rates in the profi t and loss account and in the extensive profi t and loss account and the bal-ance causes a translation diff erence to the equity, which is recognised in the other items of the extensive result.

GOODWILL. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the Group’s share of the net fair value, at the time of acquisition, of identifi -able assets, liabilities and conditional liabilities of companies acquired a� er 1 January 2004.

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. It is not subject to depreciation. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever an event or a change in circumstances indicates that a carrying amount may not be recoverable.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are capitalised at their fair value at the time of acquisi-tion. Intangible assets deriving from an integration of Group operations normally pertain to customer relationships and contracts with known useful lives.

Other intangible assets are recognised originally in the acquisition cost of the balance sheet in case the acquisition cost can be defi ned reliably and it is likely that benefi t from the asset item will benefi t the Group.

An intangible asset with a limited useful life is recorded as a depre-ciation expense on a straight-line basis through profi t and loss during its known or estimated useful life. The group does not have other in-tangible assets during its fi nancial period.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS. Research costs are record-ed as expenses in the income statement. Development costs arising from the design of new or more advanced products are capitalised as intangible assets when the product is technically feasible, can be ex-ploited commercially and is expected to bring future fi nancial benefi ts that cover those development costs. Intangible assets are measured

at cost less depreciation and impairment losses. The useful lives of capitalised development expenses is 2–4 years, during which time the capitalised expenses are entered as depreciation costs on a straight-line basis.

Previously expensed development expenditure will not be capitalised.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Machinery and equipment form the major part of the company’s tangible assets. They have been recognised in the balance sheet at historical cost less accrued depre-ciation and any impairment.

Gains or losses from the sales or transfer of tangible assets are entered into the income statement.

THE GROUP OBSERVES THE FOLLOWING DEPRECIATION CONVENTIONS:

Intangible assets acquired through

business combinations 5 - 10 years straight-line

Intangible rights 3 - 4 years straight-line

Internally generated

intangible assets 3 - 4 years straight-line

Other long-term expenses 3 - 5 years straight-line

Machinery and equipment 4 - 5 years straight-line

Machinery acquired through

fi nancial leasing 3 - 5 years straight-line

Intangible assets acquired

through fi nancial leasing 3 - 5 years straight-line

GOVERNMENT GRANTS. Government grants are entered as a reduc-tion of the carrying amount of other intangible assets when it is fairly certain that the grants will be received and that the Group meets the conditions attached to them. The grants are recognised in the income statement as lower depreciation on the respective asset during its use-ful time. Grants received as compensation for costs already realised are recorded through profi t and loss for the period during which the right to the grant arises. Such grants are recorded in other operating income or netting expenses. The amount of the government grants are presented in the note 5.

IMPAIRMENT OF TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. On each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there are indications that any asset has been impaired. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is assessed. In addition, the recoverable amount of goodwill as well as of intangible assets with infi nite useful lives is assessed annually, regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. The impairment tests are performed separately for each cash generating unit.

The recoverable amount is either the asset’s fair value less costs to sell or its value in use, whichever is higher. The value in use is defi ned as the projected future net cash fl ow for the asset or the cash generating unit, discounted to its present value. The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money as well as of the risks specifi c to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the balance sheet value of an as-set exceeds the recoverable amount for the asset. Losses from impair-ment are entered into the income statement. When an impairment loss is entered, the useful life of the depreciated asset is re-estimated. Any other depreciation loss recognised from any other property item than goodwill is cancelled in the case that there has been a change in those

Page 20: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2012 - Digitalist Group · Focusing of strategy and continuation of cost saving activities. On 25 July 2012, Ixonos announced that it will refocus strategy as

18 IXONOS | TILINPÄÄTÖS 2012

estimations that were used when defi ning the cash mount from the asset item. However, such a reversal will not exceed the carrying amount that would prevail if no impairment loss had been recognised. An impairment loss entered for goodwill is never reversed.

LEASES. A lease of property, plant and equipment where a substantial part of the risks and rewards of ownership lies with the Group is classifi ed as a fi nance lease. Assets acquired through fi nance leases are recorded in the balance sheet when the lease period begins, either at the fair value of the asset or at the lower present value of the minimum lease payments. As-sets acquired through fi nance leases are depreciated over their useful lives or a shorter lease term. Leases to be paid are divided into fi nancial cost and a decrease in debt during the lease term so that the interest rate on the remaining debt is the same each fi nancial period.

Leases in which the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the lessor are treated as other leases. Rent paid under other leases is recognised as an expense in the income statement in equal amounts over the term of the lease.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. The Group has classifi ed its fi nancial assets into the following categories: fi nancial assets recorded at fair value through profi t and loss; investments held to maturity; loans and other receivables; and fi nancial assets available for sale. The clas-sifi cation, which is performed at the time of the original acquisition, is based on the purpose of acquiring the fi nancial asset.

Financial assets are initially recorded at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of the fi nancial assets when the item is not measured at fair value through profi t and loss. All purchases and sales of fi nancing assets are recognised on the date of trade.

Financial assets are derecognised when the Group has lost its con-tractual right to the cash fl ow or transferred a substantial part of the risks and rewards outside the Group. The defi nition of the fi nancing assets and liabilities in note 23.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value through profi t and loss. The Group records interest rate swaps at fair value through profi t and loss. They are recognised in the balance sheet as current assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are entered in the income statement as fi nancial income or expenses. The fair value of swaps has been calculated by discounting the future cash fl ows. The agreements are presented in the fi nancing assets or liabilities of the balance and they were acquired for pro-tective purposes. The company does not apply hedge accounting.

Loans and other receivables. A� er their initial recording, loans and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the eff ective interest rate method. Loans and other receivables include trade and other receiva-bles. They are included in current and non-current assets.

The category includes sales and other receivables. Trade receivables are recorded at their original value. The Group estimates the amount of receivables in each fi nancial statement and records an impairment if there is objective evidence that individual items have been impaired.

Such evidence includes the debtor’s considerable fi nancial problems, high probability of bankruptcy and defaulted or signifi cantly overdue pay-ments. Impairment is recognised as an expense in the income statement.

Available-for-sale investments. The Group classifi es shares in hous-ing companies as well as other shares, such as golf shares, as avail-able-for-sale investments. These shares are unlisted and their fair

value cannot be reliably determined. Consequently, such investments are measured at cost.

On each closing date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that any individual fi nancial asset or any group of fi nancial assets has been impaired. If such evidence exists, the impairment is entered as an expense in the income statement.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash as well as bank deposits payable on demand.

Financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at the origi-nal value corresponding to the consideration received. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of the fi nancial liability. Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the eff ective interest rate method. The non-current and current liabili-ties include fi nancial liabilities. Borrowing costs are recorded as interest expense for the period during which they are incurred.

PENSION PLANS. The Group currently uses defi ned-contribution pen-sion plans only. The payments for these plans are expensed in the in-come statement for the period during which they occur.

The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to make additional contributions should the recipient of the contributions be unable to pay the relevant retirement benefi ts.

SHARE�BASED PAYMENTS. The Group operates incentive schemes in which payments are made as equity instruments. Any benefi ts ad-mitted in the arrangements will be appreciated to a current value at the moment of their admission and recognised as cost in the fi nancial statement evenly during the generation period. The impact of these ar-rangements on the fi nancial results is shown in the income statement under employee benefi t costs.

The cost determined at the time of granting options is based on the Group’s estimate of the amount of options that are expected to be vested at the end of the investing period., The Group updates its assumption of the fi nal amount of options on each closing date. Changes in the estimates are recorded in the income statement. The fair value of the option arrangements is determined according to the Black–Scholes option pricing model.

When options are exercised, the proceeds are recognised in sharehold-ers’ equity, net of any transaction costs. The proceeds from exercise of op-tions granted have been recognised in the share capital and in the share premium reserve, in accordance with the terms of the option plan.

The President and CEO of the company as well as nine other mem-bers of the Group’s management were awarded a share-based incen-tive plan during the period. The plan was carried out through Ixonos Management Invest Oy. 467,630 shares were awarded to members of management. The subscription price, EUR 2.44 per share, corresponds to the average price of Ixonos shares between 5 and 11 August 2010. Transfer of shares owned by Ixonos Management Invest is restricted during the term of the plan. Should the employee’s employment with the Group company end due to a reason arising from the employee and before the plan is dissolved, his or her share may be redeemed before dissolution without providing him or her with fi nancial benefi t through the plan. The incentive system will be annulled on 1 July 2013.

INCOME TAXES. The tax expense in the consolidated income statement consists of performance-based tax corresponding to the result of Group companies for the period and based on the taxable income recognised by

Page 21: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2012 - Digitalist Group · Focusing of strategy and continuation of cost saving activities. On 25 July 2012, Ixonos announced that it will refocus strategy as

IXONOS | TILINPÄÄTÖS 2012 19

each Group company according to local tax regulations as well as of tax adjustments for previous periods and of changes in deferred tax.

Deferred tax is recognised for all temporary diff erences between car-rying amounts and taxable values. However, a deferred tax liability is not recorded if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination and this recognition does not aff ect the accounting result or the taxable income at the time of car-rying out the transaction. Deferred tax is not recognised for goodwill that is not tax-deductible. Deferred tax on retained earnings of subsidiaries is not recognised for the portion of the diff erence that is not estimated to dissolve during the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates enacted by the clos-ing date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that future taxable profi t against which the temporary diff erences can be utilised is likely to become available.

EQUITY, DIVIDENDS AND TREASURY SHARES. The dividend distribu-tion proposal of the Board of Directors is not recorded in the fi nancial statements.

When purchasing Ixonos Plc’s own shares, the amount paid for them will be recognised as deduction from equity.

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Turnover includes income from services provided. It is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, and it is corrected for indirect taxes as well as for discounts. Turno-ver is recognized for the fi nancial period during which the service is provided. The revenues from services are entered as income for the fi nancial period when the service is provided.

If the fi nal result of a long-term project can be evaluated reliably, any income and costs from the project are recognised as income and costs during the project. The Group uses an income etnry method according to the production degree for defi ning the income and costs of each period.

The stage of completion for a specifi c contract is defi ned as the percent-age of completed working hours at the time of review in proportion to the estimated total working hours and as the share of the costs due to work completed at the time of review in proportion to the estimated total costs for the contract the total expenses for a contract are likely to exceed the total income from the contract, the expected loss is expensed immediately.

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. Interest income is recorded using the eff ective interest rate method. Dividend income is recorded when the right to receive dividend is established.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME. Other operating income includes gains from the sale of assets as well as other income unrelated to the sales of services, such as government grants.

Accounting policies requiring consideration by management; essential uncertainty factors related to estimations. Preparing the fi nancial state-ments requires the company’s management to make estimations and assumptions that aff ect the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses recorded in the fi nancial statements as well as the amount of contingent assets and liabilities presented in the accompanying notes. Al-though these estimations are based on the management’s best judgment of current events and actions, actual results may diff er from estimates.

The Group’s management exercises judgment in selecting and apply-ing accounting policies. This particularly concerns cases in which the IFRS norms in force provide mutually alternative recording, measurement or

presentation methods. The most essential estimations and assumptions in the context of the fi nancial statements are related to impairment testing, cost allocation, recognition of income from construction contracts.

UNCERTAINTIES RELATED TO ESTIMATIONS. The estimates made when preparing the fi nancial statements are based on the management’s best assumptions at that time. Previous experience is applied, and such as-sumptions regarding the future as are considered the most probable at the time of preparing the fi nancial statements are used. These assumptions relate to, among others, the expected development of the Group’s eco-nomic operating environment in terms of sales and cost-level. The Group and its business units regularly use various internal and external informa-tion sources to monitor the realisation of the estimates and assumptions as well as any changes in background factors. Changes in estimates and assumptions are entered into the accounts for the period during which they occur and for all subsequent periods.

Such critical estimations of the future, as well as essential uncertainty factors related to estimations on the closing date, as pose a signifi cant risk of substantial changes in the carrying amounts of the Group’s as-sets and liabilities within the next fi nancial period are disclosed below. The Group’s management has considered these portions of the fi nancial statements the most central ones, as their related accounting policies are the most complex from the Group’s viewpoint and as applying them requires the most use of estimations and assumptions, such as when measuring asset items. These areas of the fi nancial statements are also the ones in which any changes in the assumptions and estimations used are assumed to have the greatest impact.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING. The Group annually tests goodwill and intan-gible assets for potential impairment. Any indicators of impairment are evaluated according to the above accounting policies. The recoverable amounts for the cash generating units have been defi ned using calcula-tions based on value in use. These calculations require the use of esti-mations. Further information on impairment testing is presented in note 13. Goodwill at the end of 2012 was EUR 12.4 million.

The most critical factors in the calculation of the segments’ fair values are the expansion of business operations as well as cost-eff ectiveness or cost management, which are emphasised because of the fl uctuating economic situation. In practice, cost-eff ectiveness or cost management implies that a certain level of operating profi t is maintained irrespective of whether operations expand during the forecast period.

RECOGNITION OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. The Group uses the stage of completion method in recognizing turnover from construction contracts. The management estimates the fi nal result of the project regularly.

The income entry according to the preparation is based on the to-tal hourly estimates of the project. Recognised earnings and profi ts may change if the estimate of the total income from and expenses for a contract is adjusted. The cumulative eff ect of adjusted estimates is recognised for the period during which the change becomes probable and can be estimated reliably. The turnover for 2012 includes EUR 1.3 million based on the stage of completion of construction contracts.

CAPITALISATION OF DEVELOPMENT COSTS. The Group recognises the product development costs that meet the activation requirements. The board estimates the fulfi lliment of the activation criteria and the progress of product development projects regularly.

Goodwill impairment testing. Goodwill related to business combi-nations is allocated to cash generating units in accordance with the reporting structure used in monitoring the Group’s business opera-tions. This structure was amended at the beginning of 2012, a� er which the company’s cash generating units have been Online Solu-tions and Connected Devisces. In year 2011 the cash generating units were Business Solutions and Mobile Solutions. Goodwill is attributed to the new CGUs in relation to the discounted cash fl ows.

Each CGU’s recoverable amount is based on the value in use. The value in use is the present value of the future cash fl ows of a CGU. The impairment test is done by comparing value in use to CGU carry-ing value. The fi rst year cash fl ow estimates are based on the fi nancial plans approved by management. The four following years in Connected Devices CGU has been determined by the management as follows: in-

crease in turnover during 2014 and 2017 is 5 percent. EBIT is estimated to increase from 2014 2,4 percent to 6,6 percent in 2017 when the dis-counting factor is 12,0 percent. Online Solutions CGU has the following assumptions: increase in turnover is 5 percent during 2014 and 2016 and 3 percent in 2017, EBIT is expected to increase from 2014 7,4 per-cent to 9,5 percent in 2017 when discounting factor is 12 percent. The increase in turnover corresponds to the forecasted industry average. The discounted terminal values are based on the above mentioned forecasts and having the growth rate of one percent.

Cash fl ow forecasts are discounted by using the WACC before tax-es. Discounting rate has been derived from the external assesment of the required return on equity as well as the cost of debt increased by risk spread. Used discounting factor is 12 percent.

In 2012 the company made impairment test every quartal in all CGUs. The company recognised impairment of goodwill in the fi rst quartal by EUR 9,2 million attributed to Online Solutions unit. The reason for the impairment was decreased future prospects of Finnish public sector customer segment. During the last quartal the company im-paired EUR 2,0 million attributable to Connected Devices unit. This was due to slower than estimated recovery of market changes dur-ing 2011 and 2012.

The most critical factors in the calculation of the segments’ fair values are the expansion of business operations as well as cost-eff ectiveness or cost management, which are emphasised because of the fl uctuating economic situation. In practice, cost-eff ectiveness or cost management implies that a certain level of operating profi t is maintained irrespective of whether operations expand during the forecast period. A rationalisation programme seeking to achieve remarkable savings is underway in the company. Should the reali-sation of this programme be delayed, or should the company’s as-sumptions regarding turnover diff er signifi cantly from the forecast for 2013, goodwill would be depreciated even if long-term demand

for the company’s services would remain substantially unchanged.Sensitivity analysis have been made to CGUs by analysing the

break-even of carrying value and value in use. The factors were in-crease in turnover, EBIT during the fi ve years forecast period and dis-counting rate. Analysis were made by changing individual the factors and remaining the other components unchanged.

At 31 December 2012 value in use for Connected Devices unit ex-ceeds carrying value by EUR 2,3 million and for Online Solutions VIU exceeds carrying value by EUR 5,8 million.

23. Book and fair values of fi -nancial assets and liabilities

METHODS USED TO ESTIMATE FAIR VALUE

Financial liabilities. Liabilities are discounted at the rate the Group would pay for an equivalent borrowing on the closing date. As most interest-bear-ing liabilities have fl oating rates, the eff ect of discounting is not material.

Trade and other receivables. As the terms of payment for trade and other receivables are short, the eff ect of discounting is not material. Consequently, the original values of trade and other receivables cor-respond to their fair values. Note 15 contains a breakdown of trade receivables by maturity.

Other liabilities. Other liabilities, i.e. trade payables and other non-interest-bearing liabilities, are recorded at their original values. Con-sidering the maturity of such liabilities, the eff ect of discounting is not material. Accordingly, the original values correspond to the fair values.

Nominal values of derivative contracts

Total 5 270 2 868

Fair value -87 -23

All interest rate swaps are classifi ed at level 2.

The fair value of a fi nancial instrument that is not traded in an ac-tive market is determined by using valuation techniques. These techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and they rely as little as possible on entity-specifi c esti-

mates. If all signifi cant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is at level 2.

dividend for the fi nancial period 2012 will be paid to shareholders. No dividend for the fi nancial period 2011 was paid to shareholders.

Share-based paymentsOption Plan 2011. The Board of Directors of Ixonos Plc decided on 30 November 2011 to grant new options. The decision was based on the authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting on 29 March 2011. The options were issued by 31 December 2011, free of charge, to a subsidiary wholly owned by Ixonos Plc. This subsidiary will distribute the options, as the Board decides, to employees of Ixonos Plc and other companies in the Ixonos Group.

The options will be marked IV/A, IV/B and IV/C. A total of 600,000 options will be issued. According to the terms of the options, the Board of Directors decides how the options will be divided between option series and, if needed, how undistributed options will be converted from one series to another. Each option entitles its holder to subscribe for one new or treasury share in Ixonos Plc. At 30 November 2011, the shares that can be subscribed for with options comprise 3.82 per cent of all Ixonos Plc shares and votes on a fully diluted basis.

The exercise period for the IV/A options will begin on 1 October 2014, for the IV/B options on 1 October 2015 and for the IV/C options on 1 October 2016. The exercise period for all options will end on 31 December 2018. The exercise price for each option series is a trade volume weighted average price at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. The period during which this average price is determined is 1 September – 30

29. November 2011 for the IV/A options (resulting in an exercise price of EUR 0.86), 1 June – 31 August 2012 for the IV/B options and 1 June – 31 August 2013 for the IV/C options. The exercise prices will be reduced by the amount of dividends and can also be adjusted under the other circumstances specifi ed in the option terms.

The optios have been allocated into IV/A serie totalling 410,000 options (2011: 495,000), and have been distributed to the person-nel according to the terms of the plan. The change of 85,000 options arises from the cancelled options of the le� personnel.

The options are valued using the Black–Scholes pricing model. Dur-ing the fi nancial period, an expense of EUR 66,000 (2011: EUR 5,500) for stock options and share-based compensation EUR 27,074 (2011: EUR 27,074) was entered in the consolidated income statement. Share-based compensation during the fi nancial period 2012 and 2011 has been arranged through Ixonos Management Invest Oy, owned by mem-bers of the management. Further information is available in note 1.

Commitments and contingent liabilitiesAt 31 December 2011, the Group had pledged nineteen company mortgages of EUR 1,000,000 each, one company mortgage of EUR 800,000 and one company mortgage of EUR 100,000 as security for

its own borrowings and credit limits with fi nancial institutions, as well as guarantee for leasing and other commitments. The mortgages are pledged as security for EUR 8,250,631 in borrowings from fi nancial institutions and EUR 3,000,000 in credit limits. The total amount of company mortgages is EUR 19,800,000.

The company is not aware of any substantial civil action to which it would be a party.

Events a� er the fi nancial period

THE NEW REGISTRATION DOCUMENT. Ixonos published 21 January 2013 the registration document which the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority approved 17 January 2013, pursuant to the Finnish Securi-ties Market Act. The Registration Document contains information on the Company and its fi nancial position. The Registration Document is valid for 12 months a� er its approval. The new registration document contains the statement concerning the working capital. The working capital of the company will not be suffi cient for the company’s needs during following 12 months. The working capital is however suffi cient for the needs of the following 12 months if the company’s cash fl ow develops according to the plans and forecasts and the share issue is completed in it’s entirety. However there is no guarantee that the company will in all circumstanc-es, fulfi ll the fi nancial covenanats according to it’s loan agreements. In such situation the fi nanciers have eg. the right to demand the immediate payback of loans or the renegotiations of loan terms and conditions. The company has started negotiations with fi nanciers conserning possible additional funding. The company is confi dent that it can fulfi ll the possible need for excess fi nancing to satisfy the working capital needs.

SHARE ISSUE. All off ered 20,136,645 shares were subscribed for in Ixonos Plc rights issue completed on 7 February 2013. A total of 19,052,212 shares were subscribed for with subscription rights rep-resenting approximately 94.6 per cent of the shares off ered. A total of 5,358,879 shares were subscribed for in the secondary subscrip-tion without subscription rights, of which subscriptions for 1,084,433 shares were approved. The subscriptions amounted thus to approxi-mately 121.2 per cent of the shares off ered in total. The gross pro-ceeds raised by Ixonos in the rights issue were approximately EUR 4.23 million. As all shares off ered in the rights issue were subscribed for, the underwriting commitments were thus not used. The Board of Directors of Ixonos approved all subscriptions based upon subscrip-tion rights made in the rights issue between 24 January 2013 and 7 February 2013, and decided to approve the secondary subscriptions made without subscription rights by Ixonos’ shareholders or other investors in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rights issue. In order to ensure the equal treatment of shareholders and the 2011 stock option holders the Board of Directors of Ixonos has on 16 January 2013, due to the rights off ering, adjusted the subscription ra-tio and the subscription price of the 2011 stock options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2011 stock options.

Financial risk managementThe company is exposed to several fi nancial risks in the course of its normal business operations. The management of fi nancial risks aims to minimise any adverse eff ects that changes on the fi nance market might have on the company’s profi t. The main fi nancial risks of the Ixonos Group are capital adequacy risk and interest rate risk.

The long-term funding of the Ixonos Group has chiefl y been arranged through two main fi nanciers. Later, the company may also resolve to is-sue shares. Should the general economic situation tumble into an excep-tionally long decline, the Ixonos Group’s fi nancial expenses in proportion to the earnings from the Group’s operations would be likely to increase, as the Group’s earning power as well as the cash fl ow from its business operations presumably would decrease during a general recession. The same circumstances might also reduce the availability of external fund-ing for the Ixonos Group and weaken the Group’s fi nancial standing.

The fi nancing function of the parent company is responsible for the implementation of risk management. It is tasked with identifying and estimating as well as hedging against fi nancial risk in co-operation with the business units.

32. Interest rate risk. The company’s income and its operational cash fl ow are largely independent from fl uctuations in market rates. The company is exposed to cash fl ow interest rate risk through its loan portfolio, which consists of short- and long-term variable rate bor-rowings. In respect of interest rate risk, the company’s risk manage-ment aims to minimise any adverse eff ects that changes in interest rates may infl ict on the company’s profi t. The company applies the use of various protective interest instruments as a methof of interest risk management. The company has interest rate swaps for a total loan capital of EUR 5.3 million. The company has used interest rate swaps to convert a fl oating rate to a fi xed rate plus margin. The fi xed rate of the interest rate swaps is 0,94 per cent plus margin. On 31 December 2011, the company has EUR 4,0 million (2011: EUR 2,2 million) in unhedged fl oating rate loan capital, which consist of over-dra� s in use. The company’s average interest rate between 1 Janu-ary and 31 December 2012 has been 3.44 per cent (2011: 3,24 per cent). An interest rate rise of one percentage point would increase the interest costs for the company’s fl oating-rate borrowings from fi nancial institutions by approximately EUR 40 thousand per year. The realisation of credit risks would make the availability of fi nancing outside the company more diffi cult and weaken its fi nancial situation.

Interest rate risk of borrowings from fi nancial institutions should the interest rate rise by one percentage point during the next year

1 000 € Amount Avarage rate, per cent Interest rate sensitivity

31.12.2012 10.410 3,44 -39,9

31.12.2011 7.727 3,38 -21,8

Loans’ interest rate hedgings have been taken into account in calculations.

The company does not use IAS 39 hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of derivatives acquired for hedging are recorded through profi t and loss as fi nancial income and expenses. The changes of current value of the registered derivative instruments were EUR -65.000 1 January 31 December 2012 and +31.000 at the end of the fi nancial period on 31 December 2011. Profi t and loss entries re-lated to hedging can cause substantial variation in fi nancial income and expenses from one fi nancial period to another. On 31 December 2012, an interest rate rise of one percentage point would have had a positive eff ect of approximately EUR 53,000 (2011: EUR 32.000). The eff ect of taxes has not been considered in the sensitivity analyses.

Of the company’s borrowings at 31 December 2012, a portion of 89 per cent (2011: 70 per cent) have fl oating rates. Considering the eff ect of derivative interest-rate contracts, 38 per cent of the borrow-ings have fl oating rates (2011: 28 per cent). The fi gures include the overdra� s in use.

Liquidity risk. In respect of liquidity risk, the company’s risk man-agement aims to ensure suffi cient liquid assets for fi nancing the company’s operations and repaying loans due. The company aims to continuously evaluate and follow the amount of fi nancing required by the business in order to meet the goal described above. On 31 December 2012, almost all the company’s liquid assets consisted of funds in bank accounts. The function responsible for the Group’s fi nancing continuously monitors the company’s liquidity and the adequacy of the company’s funding. Possible disruption in the cash fl ow from basic business operations would weaken the company’s fi nancial position.

A bank limits of EUR 3 million has been admitted for the company, of which EUR 2,8 million is in use on 31 December.

The current working capital of the company is not suffi cient for a 12-month need. However, the company’s working capital will be suffi cient for the need of the next 12 months in case the Company’s cash fl ow will develop in accordance with the company’s progno-

CO�OPERATION NEGOTIATIONS AND STREAMLINING GROUP STRUCTURE. Ixonos commenced co-operation negotiations with its personnel for reasons related to production, fi nancial position and reorganization of operations.

The eff orts to re-focus the business and to streamline the corporate structure have not progressed fast enough and to the needed extent dur-ing year 2012. In order to restore profi tability, Ixonos will implement fur-ther effi ciency measures in its global operations during year 2013. The

co-operation negotiations aim to adapt the cost structure of the Finnish companies to meet the changed situation and the desired direction, as well as to improve the competitiveness and profi tability of the company.

The negotiations apply to all Ixonos personnel in Finland. The ac-tions are estimated to impact maximum of 87 employees in Finland.

At the same time, the company announces that it will discontinue its operations in China, and plans to transfer its so� ware production operations in Tallinn to the Kosice branch in Slovakia during 2013.

ses and plans. The fully realised share issue January-February 2013 helps with this. However, there is not certainty that the company will reach the minimum values of the covenants according to its fi nancial agreements in all circumstances when the fi nanciers have the right for example premature cancellation of the loans and renegotiaitons of the terms.

The company manages the working capital by aiming to slow down the circulation of the accounts payable by extending the payment terms of purchase agreements and decreasing the amount of accounts re-ceivable by fastening their circulation time by shortening the payment terms and selling the accounts receivable when needed. On 31 De-cember the company had sold EUR 2,3 million of accounts receivable.

Should the company’s cash fl ow not develop according to the com-pany’s prognoses and plans, the shortfall shall be covered with additional fi nancing and other operations. The potential need for additional fi nances are planned to be covered (i) by using the share issue authorisations valid for the Company, (ii) by boosting the Company’s operations and reorganisation, (iii) postponing the realisation of planned investments, (iv) with the assets from the company’s business operations and sale of property items or (v) combinations of what was said before. As a part of the management of working capital of the company the company’s management has started negotiations with the fi nanciers about potential additional fi nancing. The company will continue the operations in order to ease the cost structure and simplify the operational structure.

Loans granted by the company’s main fi nanciers have covenants at-tached. Should the company not be within the limits of a covenant, the fi nanciers are entitled to call in the loans to which that covenant applies. The covenant level is adjusted semi-annually on a rolling twelve-month basis:

Depending on the point in time, the equity ratio must be at least 35 per cent. For some loans, the ratio of interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. interest-bearing liabilities in the adjusted balance sheet, exclud-ing leasing liabilities and subordinated loans) to operating profi t may not exceed 3.0:1 (31st January 2012) and 2,5 on 30 June 2013 and onward. The ratio of interest-bearing liabilities to operating profi t as well as the ratio of interest-bearing net liabilities to operating profi t is calculated according to the formula defi ned by the Committee for Corporate Analysis.

The interest rate according to the fl oating rate loan agreements var-ies between the three and twelve month Euribor rates plus a margin in the range of 1,26–4.00 per cent.

The amount of those fi nancing loans for the covenants had a capi-tal of EUR 7,5 million on 31 December (31 January 2011: EUR 4,5 million). On 31 January the company’s equity ratio was 22,5 per-cent (2011: 55,6 percent), the ratio of interest-bearing liabilities and operating profi t was negative (2011: 0,95). Thus, the company does

not fullfi ll the covenant terms on 31 December and the loans under convents are presented as short-term current liabilities. However, the company has received releasing covenant statements from its fi nanciers for the next 6 to 12 months.

Credit risk. Of the company’s turnover, 85 per cent is derived from net sales to the company’s 20 largest customers. Major customers are companies based or operating in Finland in the telecommunica-tions, information technology, banking and insurance sectors and in public administration. Apart for isolated exceptions, these customer groups are billed in euros. The receivables do not include any sig-nifi cant concentration of credit risk. The counterparties in external fi nancing transactions are the major Nordic banks.

The Group’s credit risk is managed through regular monitoring of every customer’s outstanding receivables and payment behaviour. The Group always checks the credit status of its customers before entering into a binding agreement.

The maximum amount of the company’s credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of the receivables.

During the fi nancial period, the credit losses recorded through profi t and loss amounted to EUR 601.817 (EUR 11.361 in 2011). Note 15 contains a breakdown of trade receivables by maturity.

Foreign exchange risk. The company mainly operates in the euro area and either in euros or in currencies pegged to the euro. The company is not exposed to signifi cant currency position risks or to risks that arise when investments denominated in other currencies are converted into the functional currency of the parent company. All the company’s borrowings are in euros. However, the company’s international operations have grown and are expected to continue growing, in which case the number of currencies not pegged to the euro will increase. The company strives to hedge against currency risks by using forward foreign-exchange contracts and other possi-ble means for decreasing the fl uctuation of exchange rates between the euro and other currencies. At the end of the fi nancial period, the Group had no contracts hedging against foreign exchange risks.

At the end of 2012, the translation exposure of equity was TEUR -190. This exposure includes exposure to translation diff erence re-garding the share capital, restricted capital and non-restricted capital of subsidiaries in non-euro countries as well as their profi t for the fi nancial period. The Group has not hedged these investments.

Capital management. With the help of an optimal capital structure, Ixonos’ capital management strives to support the Group’s business operations by safeguarding normal operational conditions as well as to increase shareholder value with a view to achieving the best possible profi t. An optimal capital structure also ensures smaller capital costs.

The company considers as capital both shareholders’ equity and borrowings from fi nancial institutions.

The capital structure is infl uenced e.g. through distribution of divi-dends and through share issues. The Group may vary and adjust the amount of dividends or capital refunds paid to shareholders as well as the number of shares to be issued. The Group may also resolve to sell assets in order to reduce debt.

The company monitors its capital structure by means of the eq-

uity ratio. Depending on the point in time, the equity ratio must be at least 35 per cent (31 January 2012 = 22,5 %). In the situation of 31 January 2012 the company did not meet the terms of the fi nancial covenants. Therefore the long-term fi nancing loans are presented as short-term in the fi nancial statement in accordance with the rules of the Committee for Corporate Analysis . However, the company has received releasing covenant statements from its fi nanciers for the next 6 to 12 months.

The calculation of the equity ratio is available on page 16 of the fi nancial statements.

In order to improve the balance and fi nancing situations, a share issue was prepared. The share issue was realised succesfully during January-February.

Auditor’s Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Ixonos Oyj. We have audited the accounting records, the fi nancial statements, the report of the Board of Directors and the administration of Ixonos Oyj for the year ended 31 December, 2012. The fi nancial statements comprise the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash fl ows, and notes to the consolidated fi nancial statements, as well as the parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, cash fl ow statement and notes to the fi nancial 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 con-solidated fi nancial 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 fi nancial statements and the report of the Board of Direc-tors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the fi nancial 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 fi nances, and the Man-aging Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its fi nancial aff airs have been arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor’s Responsibility. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi -nancial statements, on the consolidated fi nancial 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 re-quires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial 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 or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or whether they 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 fi nancial statements and the report of the Board

of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, in-cluding 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 fi nancial 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 eff ectiveness 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 fi nancial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appro-priate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In our opinion, the consoli-dated fi nancial statements give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position, fi nancial performance, and cash fl ows of the group in accordance with Interna-tional 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 fi nancial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent com-pany’s fi nancial performance and fi nancial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the fi nancial 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 fi nancial statements.
