CEO ILKKA HIIDENHEIMO

During the third quarter of the year 2011, StoneGate product sales grew by 63%and net sales by 43%. We are very pleased with this strong growth and with the
fact that we have been able to grow our market share in spite of the generally
insecure economic situation. We will continue to invest in customer acquisition
and sales promotion. The strong interest in the company and its solutions has
been seen for example in the continuous growth of the number of meeting requests
as well as active participation at Stonesoft's stand at trade shows and customer
events.

The growth in the third quarter of the year is based on success in several
areas. Geographically the most successful areas were Europe, including Southern
European countries, and the United States, where in particular the sales to the
public sector grew strongly. With regard to the products, the sales of intrusion
prevention systems (IPS) grew significantly more than other sales, because
customers view the threat posed by advanced evasion techniques as even more
significant than before. Also our new flagship products StoneGate FW-5201 and
FW-5205 have been received successfully by telecom operators as well as in other
sectors. The new customers include internationally significant large enterprises
whose purchases are estimated to support Stonesoft's strong growth also in the
future.

After the reporting period Stonesoft delivered 163 new samples of advanced
evasion techniques to CERT-FI. In our tests the new evasion techniques have been
able to bypass all generally known security solutions on the market, which means
that companies' current network security solutions do not offer protection
against security breaches. We are the only company on the market with
comprehensive protection against known evasion techniques.

Competitors' security solutions based on inspection algorithms embedded in
special circuits are not capable of offering protection against new, rapidly
evolving threats. Special circuits are a nonfunctional solution in this security
paradigm shift, because changes to them can only be made by changing the whole
appliance base, which may have a remarkable effect in terms of costs and
resources. This provides Stonesoft's software based solution a significant
competitive advantage.

As a result of the recent security breaches, authorities are preparing new
corporate governance requirements and laws. For example, the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposes that public companies must
report about occurred security breaches. In addition, there is a law under
preparation in the US that requires companies to test their IT solutions
annually against security breaches and intrusions under penalty of a fine.

Companies must re-evaluate their security level and top management must
acknowledge the growing importance of security strategy as part of risk
management. The responsibility cannot be left with the IT management alone, but
the top management and even corporate boards need to familiarize themselves with
the subject and review the company's risk profile.

The above-mentioned factors strengthen our view about the necessity of dynamic
security and we see the possibility of strong organic growth in the future.

DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS


Main business events in the fiscal period

In August Stonesoft encouraged organizations to re-evaluate their existing risk
management and security architecture. Several security breaches and threats that
have raised discussion lately have changed the security landscape permanently
and acted as wake-up calls also in the strategic aspect.

In August Stonesoft announced it has signed a cooperation agreement with ECCT, a
leading managed security services provider (MSSP). ECCT will deploy the
StoneGate IPS across 50 regional and community banks and credit unions by end of
year.

In August Stonesoft introduced the StoneGate FW-315 firewall/VPN appliance,
which has been designed for small networks and branch offices.

In August Stonesoft announced that Perket Technologies will begin to provide the
Anti-Evasion Readiness Test service to its customers.

In September, Stonesoft announced it has joined Secured by RSA ® Certified
Partner Program to allow the integration of StoneGate Firewall/VPN, IPS and SSL
VPN with the RSA enVision® platform.

In September, Stonesoft announced the new Stonesoft a2Cloud solution for
authentication and access management. The solution makes cloud services more
secure and easier to use with minimized TCA (Total Cost of Administration) and
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

We estimate the above-mentioned operations and achievements to strengthen the
company's competitiveness.


Main business events after the fiscal period

In October, Stonesoft announced its partnership with the University of Glamorgan
in United Kingdom to conduct research into AETs.

AUTHORIZATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The AGM decided on 13.4.2011 to authorize the Board of Directors of the company
to decide about one or more share issues as well as the issuance of option and
other special rights so that the total number of new shares may be 12 600 000 at
the maximum.

Based on the authorization the Board of Directors may decide on issuance of
shares to the shareholders according to the shareholders' pre-emptive
subscription rights as well as in a directed issuance of shares or stock options
or other special rights in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive
subscription rights in case the deviation is justified by a weighty financial
reason for the company, such as financing of an acquisition, other arrangement
concerning the business of the company or development of its capital structure,
or incentive to the company's personnel.

The Board of Directors was authorized to decide on other terms and conditions
related to the share issues and to the issuance of option or other special
rights.

The authorization is in force until the end of the 2012 AGM.

The Board of Directors is not authorized to purchase the company's own shares.


SHORT-TERM RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES

During the fiscal year 2011, Stonesoft's main risks and business uncertainties
relate to the realization timetable of the sales projects and possible
production disruption of our subcontractors and suppliers. In addition, the
recent political restlessness in North Africa and Middle East may have a
negative impact on the company's business operations in these markets. Also
insecurities related to public economies in the United States as well as in the
European Union may have a negative effect on the public sector projects in these
areas. A further scenario is that the Southern European crisis will spread to
cover the whole of Europe or become a global financing and bank crisis, in which
case it can be assumed that it would have a negative impact on Stonesoft's
growth and profitability.
The company has no risks related to the order book, because it normally can
process incoming orders within a couple of work days.

Stonesoft's risk management and its principles are discussed more extensively at
the company website and in the Annual Report 2010.


FUTURE OUTLOOK

According to the research company Infonetics, the enterprise network equipment
and software market is estimated to grow by 4% during 2011.

Stonesoft's products meet the new security challenges brought by cloud services,
virtualization and outsourcing of security.


Advanced Evasion Techniques

In 2010 Stonesoft announced it had discovered a new network security threat
category, Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs).

We have continued to deliver additional findings to CERT-FI, who is in charge of
international vulnerability coordination. So far we have published hundreds of
samples, and we believe the number of advanced evasion techniques is practically
unlimited.

Due to incorrect technology choices, many competitors seem to have great
difficulties in amending their solutions to provide protection against AETs.

Leading research institutes such as Gartner have confirmed that the best
protection against the threat posed by new, advanced evasion techniques is
provided by flexible, software based systems. Compared with the solutions
provided by most leading network security vendors such as Cisco, Juniper and
Fortinet, Stonesoft's software based systems are capable of detecting advanced
evasion techniques. The threat posed by advanced evasion techniques does not
concern only intrusion prevention system (IPS) appliances, but also UTM (Unified
Threat Management) and next generation firewall appliances.

The above mentioned issues have opened new business opportunities for Stonesoft
and had a strong impact on the growth of the company's IPS sales. The improved
awareness of the threat posed by advanced evasion techniques has brought the
company new customers and made contacting target customers significantly
easier.

Based on Stonesoft's view, these issues will have a positive impact on the
company's net sales and profitability and will strengthen its competitiveness
and market position as the general understanding and knowledge about advanced
evasions techniques grow. In 2011, Stonesoft aims for faster-than-market growth
of net sales and improved profitability.

With regard to the development of the turnover and the operating result,
variation is expected between the quarters in comparison to the corresponding
quarter during the previous year as well as to the previous quarter as a
consequence of, among others, long sales cycles and the relatively big impact of
individual deals on the development of net sales and operating result.
