Events after the Reporting Period
There were no significant events after the reporting period.
Near-term Risks and Uncertainties
Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in
the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends
taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and
resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address
customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly
undermine the growth of Comptel's business and its profitability.
Characteristics of Comptel's field of industry are significant quarterly
variations of net sales and profit, which are related to customers' purchasing
behaviour and the timing of major single deals.
Comptel's business consists of deliveries of large productised IT system and
the value of a single project may be several million euros. Therefore, the
credit risk associated with a single project or an individual customer may be
significant. Furthermore, some of Comptel's customers operate in countries
where the political or financial climate can be unstable which in part may
increase credit risk.
Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different
currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the
company's reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling and
Malaysian Ringgit affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit.
The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending
with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. However, the process between the
states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. The
interpretation of tax treaties may result in different views between the
countries in question. This could mean that the double taxation will prevail.
Comptel has also applications for return of withholding taxes in other
countries but they are subject to local legal processes, which take time to get
completed.
The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in the
company's financial statements and the Board of Directors' report for 2013.
Outlook
Comptel's operating result for 2014 is expected to be EUR 5-10 million. The
2014 revenue is expected to remain at the 2013 level while the new solutions
are expected to grow from Q2 onwards.
Characteristically a significant part of Comptel's operating profit and net
sales is generated in the second half of the year.

3. Income tax
Income tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for this
year was EUR 2,005 thousand (EUR 2,179 thousand in 2013).
In 2006, the Board of Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations
refused to accept the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004
and 2005.
The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending
with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. However, the process between the
states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. The
interpretation of tax treaties may result in different views between the
countries in question. This could mean that the double taxation will prevail.
According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel
Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 1,207
thousand in January-September (EUR 915 thousand).
