  STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE   23.04.2012 AT 9:00 A.M. 


TECTIA CORPORATION ESTIMATES FULL YEAR 2012 SALES TO INCREASE

For the fiscal year 2012, Tectia estimates its net sales are likely to increase
from 2011. Due to continuing uncertainties Tectia believes it is not justified
to give profitability estimates for the year 2012. 

For the fiscal year 2012, Tectia has not given net sales guidance earlier.

As Tectia announced 23.3.2012, company estimates based on unaudited and
preliminary information, that as forecasted the revenue of the first quarter
2012 will grow compared to first quarter 2011. Most likely the company's net
sales for the first quarter 2012 will be more than EUR 2,5 million. 16.04.2012
company announced a deal with governmental organization worth of EUR 0,5
million. Under these circumstances together with continued solid maintenance
business, company believes that net sales for the year 2012 are likely to
increase from 2011. 

Tectia believes that it is not justified at the moment to give profitability
estimates for year 2012 mainly due to following reasons: 
-  amount of R&D investment into new still under development products, starting
the delivery and sales of the new products and demand; 
- timing of individual large licence contracts will influence remarkably
profitability of the company 
- in addition the macroeconomic environment increasingly complicates future
outlook estimates and reliable target setting; 
- large portion of company revenue is invoiced in USD currency so possible
large fluctuation in USD currency rates during 2012 could have unpredictable
effects into profitability that are at the time difficult to estimate.
