expected. 

There company recognised a write-down of EUR 14.4 million in the Group's
goodwill in the financial statements. The write-down does not have an effect on

goodwill and shareholders' equity of EUR 35.1 million, accounting for 66.8% of
the balance sheet total. 

The Board of Directors appointed the deputy CEO, Mr Vesa Honkanen, as the new
chief executive officer of the company effective as of 25 January 2011. 

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be paid for 2010.


OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE

The company expects that net sales will increase and operating profit after
depreciation resulting from the allocation of acquisition cost will improve
year on year. 




CEO VESA HONKANEN

The operation of Trainers' House is post-cyclical. The cautious purchase
behaviour of customers in 2009 affected the 2010 net sales and result. The
company recognised a write-down of EUR 14.4 million in the Group's goodwill in
the financial statements. The write-down does not have an effect on cash flow. 

The business environment did, however, show some signs of recovery in 2010.
Even though the fourth quarter of the year was weaker than expected after a few
important sales projects were postponed until 2011, orders in continuing
operations increased by 21% year on year. 

The restructuring measures carried out during 2010 streamlined the operations
of Trainers' House, making it easier to focus on the company's core business.
An increasing number of customer projects utilise a wide selection of Trainers'
House services: Ignis offers new opportunities for our customers' sales agents
and helps audit critical points in their customer and supervisor work, training
services help our customers clarify their strategies and increase the
efficiency of their operations, while SaaS systems ensure that they stay on the
right path. 

The new offerings of Trainers' House, i.e. the sales management system and
employee well-being promotion services from Revenue House, were
enthusiastically received. Both already generated revenue in 2010. 

Trainer's House helps its customers grow by supporting their daily management
work. Our skilled and committed personnel has a key role in making this happen.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Trainer's House helps its customers grow by supporting their daily management
work. 

This task is implemented by offering customers business-critical training based
on the utilisation of marketing (Ignis) and management (SaaS) systems. 

Through business divestments and restructuring, the company seeks to adjust the
organisation model to suit its strategy. Due the structural changes, the number
of personnel has been reduced from 227 to 133 persons year on year. 


Changes in business operations and corporate structure

On 29 March 2010, the company announced the start of codetermination
negotiations concerning its business unit in Tampere as well as Group
administration functions. On 18 May 2010, the negotiations were announced to
have been concluded. As a result of the negotiations, the Group's business unit
in Tampere was shut down and personnel in administration deducted by lay-offs
and transfers to customer service functions. In total, the personnel of the
Group was reduced by 20 persons. 

On 13 August 2010, Trainers' House, Sentica Kasvurahasto II Ky and AtBusiness
Oy signed an agreement on a corporate transaction under which the IT project
business of Trainers' House was sold to a new company, which simultaneously
acquired the entire share capital of AtBusiness Oy from Sentica Kasvurahasto II
Ky and the employee-owners at AtBusiness Oy. 

The purchase price of the IT project business was EUR 9.0 million, of which
about EUR 6.2 million was paid in cash. Trainers' House invested about EUR 2.8
million in the new company using equity and debt instruments. After the
transaction, Trainers' House owns 19.9% of the new company's shares and votes,
while Sentica Kasvurahasto II Ky and the new company's acting management own
the rest of the shares. 


Development of sales

The value of new orders in continuing operations increased by 21% year on year.
The agreements entered into by the end of 2010 bring the total number of SaaS
users from 16,000 to over 19,000. The development costs of SaaS products
amounted to a total of EUR 1.1 million during the reporting period. These costs
have been recognised as expenses. 


FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Net sales development in the last quarter of the financial year was weaker than
expected. Operating profit before non-recurring items and depreciation
resulting from the allocation of acquisition costs decreased year on year and
was slightly positive. 

Continuing operations

The net profit of the company's IT process business that was sold in the third
quarter of the year, from the beginning of 2010 to the date of the divestment,
as well as the related non-recurring capital loss of EUR 4.8 million are
presented as a single item on the line “Profit/loss for the period from
discontinued operations”. The figures for 2009 have been adjusted to correspond
with this presentation method. 

Net sales from continuing operations during the period under review came to EUR
15.6 million (EUR 20.5 million). Operating profit from continuing operations
before depreciation resulting from the allocation of the acquisition cost of
Trainers' House Oy was EUR 1.1 million, or 7.1% of net sales (EUR 1.9 million,
or 9.3% of net sales). Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -1.5 million
(EUR 3.5 million). 

Depreciations resulting from the allocation of acquisition cost

EUR 10.2 million of the acquisition cost of Trainers' House Oy in 2007 has been
allocated in intangible assets with a limited useful life. This item is
depreciated over a period of five years. During the period under review, a
total of EUR 2.0 million was depreciated. At the end of the period under
review, these intangible assets totalled EUR 3.0 million. The total portion of
this item to be depreciated is EUR 1.6 million in 2011 and EUR 1,4 million in
2012. 


Non-recurring items

Goodwill

The allocation of the purchase price of the divested IT project business in the
company's goodwill in the third quarter of the year reduced the goodwill
recognised in the company's balance sheet by EUR 10.7 million. After the
allocation of the purchase price, the goodwill recognised in company's balance
sheet totalled EUR 40.3 million. 

On 25 January 2011, the Board of Directors of Trainers' House decided to lower
the estimates on the profitability and growth of net sales used in the
impairment testing. As a result, the Board of Directors resolved that of the
goodwill booked in connection with the merger of Satama Interactive Plc and
Trainers' House Oy, a total of further EUR 14.4 million will be written down. 

After the depreciation resulting from the allocation of the sales price and the
goodwill write-down, approximately 25.8 million of goodwill remains in the
Group balance sheet. The above-mentioned write-downs do not have an effect on
cash flow. 

Restructuring provision

Non-recurring items in the Group balance sheet include a restructuring
provision in the amount of EUR 0.5 million. 

In the first quarter of 2009, a restructuring provision of EUR 1.4 million was
made to cover costs resulting from personnel reductions and the divestment of
international operations. EUR 0.9 million of the restructuring provision has
been used to cover actual expenses, while EUR 0.2 million was dissolved and
recognized as income. On 31 December 2010, EUR 0.3 million of the restructuring
provision remained. The unused provision is expected to cover the remaining
costs resulting from the restructuring. 

The codetermination negotiations carried out in the spring of 2010 resulted in
the discontinuation of the Tampere unit and the dismissal of 20 Group
employees. Related expenses of EUR 0.6 million were recognised in the result of
the second quarter. EUR 0.4 million of the restructuring provision was used to
cover actual expenses, while EUR 0.2 million was dissolved and recognized as
income. No provision remains at the end of the period under review. 

An additional provision of EUR 0.1 million was entered in the Group balance
sheet for new restructuring measures undertaken during the second half of 2010.
At the end of the period under review, the restructuring provision totalled EUR
0.4 million. 

Deferred tax assets

The divestment of the company's IT project business completed in 2010 generated
taxable income against which the company used losses carried forward. On 31
December 2010, the company's balance sheet contained deferred tax assets from
losses carried forward in the amount of EUR 1.7 million. Tax loss
carry-forwards must be utilised within 10 years from their recognition. EUR 1.2
million of the company's tax loss carry-forwards will expire in 2011 - 2012 and
the rest EUR 0.5 million in 2019. 

Financial performance

The comparative figures used for reporting operating profit include the
reported operating profit as well as operating profit before depreciation of
allocated acquisition cost related to the acquisition of Trainers' House Oy and
non-recurring items (= operating profit, EBIT). According to the company's
management, these figures provide a more accurate view of the company's
productivity. 

The following table itemizes the Group's key figures (in thousands of euros):

in the income statement.

LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES

The company's long-term objective is profitable growth.


FINANCING, INVESTMENTS AND SOLVENCY

On 4 August 2010, Trainers' House Plc announced the divestment of its IT
project business at the price of EUR 9.0 million, of which some EUR 6.2 million
was paid to Trainers' House in cash. The company used the entire cash
consideration to pay off interest-bearing loans. 

Hybrid bond

On 15 January 2010, Trainers' House Plc issued an EUR 5.0 million domestic
hybrid bond. 

EUR 1.0 million of the bond was subscribed by domestic investors and EUR 4.0
million by major shareholders of Trainers' House Plc based on their
underwriting commitments. The coupon rate of the bond is 10.0% per annum. The
bond has no maturity, but the company may call the bond after three years. 

The hybrid bond will strengthen Trainers' House Plc's capital structure and
enhance its financial position. The arrangement will also enhance the ratio of
net debt to EBITDA. A hybrid bond is an instrument which is subordinated to the
company's other debt obligations and which is treated as equity in the IFRS
financial statements. Hybrid bonds do not confer to their holders the right to
vote at shareholder meetings and do not dilute the holdings of the current
shareholders. 

Interest of EUR 0.5 million related to the hybrid bond were recognised in the
consolidated income statement of 31 December 2010. The interest was recognised
in shareholders' equity and paid to investors on 21 January 2011. 

Cash flow and financing

Cash flow before financial items totalled EUR -0.3 million (EUR 4.7 million)
and cash flow after financial items was EUR -1.5 million (EUR 3.5 million). 

Cash flow from investments totalled EUR 6.1 million (EUR -0.3 million). The
largest item was the EUR 6.2 million cash payment for the divested IT project
business. 

Cash flow from financing was EUR -2.8 million (EUR -9.0 million). During the
period under review, cash flow from financing was affected most significantly
by the repayment of interest-bearing loans in the amount of EUR 7.5 million as
well as the issue of the EUR 5.0 million hybrid bond. 

Total cash flow amounted to EUR 1.8 million (EUR -5.8 million).

On 31 December 2010, the Group's liquid assets totalled EUR 3.7 million (1.9
million). The equity ratio was 66.8% (66.5%). Net gearing was 17.7% (28.9%). At
the end of the period under review, the company had EUR 9.9 million of
interest-bearing debt (EUR 16.7 million). 

Financial risks

Currency risks are insignificant, because Trainers' House operates principally
in the euro zone. Interest rate risk is managed by covering part of the risk
with hedging agreements. A bad debt provision, which is booked on the basis of
ageing and case-specific risk analyses, covers risks to accounts receivable. 


SHORT-TERM BUSINESS RISKS AND FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY

Risks in the company's operating environment remained unchanged in 2010. Due to
the company's project-based operations, order lifecycle is short, which makes
it more difficult to estimate future developments. The situation has improved
due to the overall economic recovery, but long-term visibility remains weak. 

Short-term risks

The Group's goodwill and deferred tax assets recognised in the balance sheet
were retested for impairment at the end of the financial year. Based on the
results of this impairment testing, the goodwill values were EUR 14.4 million
lower than the book value, resulting in a goodwill write-off in the financial
statements. 

If the company's profitability should fail to develop as predicted, or if
external factors beyond the company's control, such as interest rates, should
change significantly, there is a risk that some of the Group's goodwill may
have to be written down. However, such write-down would not affect the
company's cash flow. 

At the end of the period under review, Trainers' House Plc's balance sheet
contained deferred tax assets form losses carried forward in the amount of EUR
1.7 million. If the Group's taxable income does not reach approximately EUR 4.6
million in 2010-2012, there is a risk that some of the EUR 1.2 million in
deferred tax assets recognised in the balance sheet cannot be utilised and may
have to be written down. EUR 0.5 million of the tax loss carry-forwards will
expire in 2019. However, any such write-down would not affect the company's
cash flow. 

In connection with the merger of Trainers' House Oy and Satama Interactive Plc,
the company concluded a loan agreement in the amount of EUR 40 million. At the
balance sheet date, the company had loans related to this loan agreement in the
amount of EUR 9.2 million. The loan agreement contains standard covenants,
including one concerning the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. 

In order to ensure that it will fulfil the financial covenant in the loan
agreement concerning the ratio of net debt to EBITDA, the company issued a
hybrid capital bond in the amount of EUR 5.0 million on 15 January 2010. 

If the company's profitability should fail to develop as expected, there is a
risk that the company might not be able to fulfil the covenants, which would
increase the company's financial expenses. 

About risks

Trainers' House is an expert organisation. Market and business risks are part
of regular business operations, and their extent is difficult to define.
Typical risks in this field are associated with, for example, general economic
development, distribution of the clientele, technology choices and development
of the competitive situation and personnel expenses. Risks are managed through
the efficient planning and regular monitoring of sales, human resources and
business costs, enabling a quick response to changes in the operating
environment. 

The success of Trainers' House as an expert organisation also depends on its
ability to attract and retain skilled employees. Personnel risks are managed
with competitive salaries and incentive schemes as well as investments in
employee training, career opportunities and general job satisfaction. 

Risks are discussed in more detail in the annual report and on the company's
website at www.trainershouse.fi > Investors.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The Group divested its IT project business in August 2010, and the comparative
figures for 2009 have been adjusted to correspond to the structure of the
continuing and divested operations. 

This report was compiled in accordance with the IAS 34 standard.

Amendments to and interpretations of published standards, as well as the new
standards effective as of 1 January 2009 are presented in detail in the
Financial Statements for 2009. Adoption of the standards did not cause any such
impact on the accounting principles applied to the financial statements that
would have called for retroactive changes to previous years' figures. 

As of 1 January 2010, the Group has adopted the following new and revised
standards: IAS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements,
Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009), Amendment IAS 32 Financial Instruments:
Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues. These newly adopted standards
have not had impact on the reported results. 

In producing this interim report, Trainers' House has applied the same
accounting principles for key figures as in its Financial Statements for 2009.
The calculation of key figures is described on page 56 of the Financial
Statements included in the Annual Report 2009. 

The figures given for 2010 in this Financial Statements bulletin are audited.
