CEO Repe Harmanen:

The road we have chosen turns changes into opportunities

Financially, 2013 was fairly good for us - despite the challenging market
situation. Our growth slowed down but we managed to maintain our market
position and profitability thanks to our long-term client relationships, which
are important for our success. 

In 2013, we concentrated on the develop­ment of our core business operations
and on strengthening our client relationships. We continued our efforts to make
our cost control and structure more flexible. At the same time, we expanded and
honed our solution selec­tion to make it increasingly client oriented. One
example is the upgraded business-to-consumer e-business solution that we were
able to offer to our clients. 

We also succeeded in deepening several of our long-term client relationships.
Our new software solutions played a key role in the development of our client
cooperation. The significant increase in client satisfaction in 2013 reflects
the long-term strategic client relations work that Solteq has carried on for
several years. We also started cooperation with several new clients and
strengthened the collaboration with our key clients. 

Forward trend indicated by several measures

We developed in several important areas in 2013, and I am extremely pleased
with the situation. Our client value proposition is to ensure continuity and
enable the future at the right time and cost. The trust of our clients in us
continued to increase. We have several clients with which we implement large
projects and consider long-term strategic development. The improved client
satisfac­tion is a good proof of this development: up to nine out of ten of our
clients now recom­mend us; in 2013, the score was seven out of ten. This is an
excellent proof of the efforts taken by each Solteq employee to enhance client
orientation - the promise of the client value proposition has to be delivered
every day. Client Always First. 

Our employee satisfaction also continued the growth that had taken place for
several years. Up to two thirds of Solteq's employees would recommend us as an
employer. This score is higher than the average of Finnish expert
organizations. 

In my opinion, these results reflect our strong software solution and industry
expertise as well as low personnel turnover. For us, the client always comes
first, and our work is characterized by openness, nimble­ness of operations and
easy approachability. 

It is important for us to be an employer that takes our employees' life
situations into consideration and offers possibilities to develop individual
competences. The low turnover of our personnel allows a systematic development
of expertise. 

Strategy program continues

In 2013, we continued the implementation of the strategy program started in
2011. In the program, we focus on long-span develop­ment of our solutions,
client orientation and HR development. The work has proceeded in an excellent
way. In short, I could say that many of the successes achieved in 2013 are the
result of our systematic and persistent work of several years. It is not a
coincident that both the client and employee satisfaction have improved, or
that we are a reliable partner in comprehensive retail, logistics and service
solutions. 

An excellent example in practice is the Microsoft Dynamics AX business. We made
serious investments in this business in 2011, and during 2013 it developed into
profitable business that created competitive advantage for us. Several
successful client projects speak for themselves. 

The foundation pillar of our strategy is ensuring continuity - for our clients'
business operations, for Solteq's development, for our personnel, and for our
stakeholders and interest groups. A good example of ensuring continuity for our
clients is the growth of the popularity of the “Bridge” Solutions in 2013. The
solutions offer transfer paths from old systems to new ones. During the course
of 2013, we were able to report on several “Bridge” contracts in e.g. the
Enterprise Asset & Service Business Management Segment. 

Accelerating changes in retail trade

The changes in the retail sector have been accelerated by shifts in consumer
behavior and by multichannel retailing. In view of the continuity of the
business operations, expansion to e-business is a key question for many
retailers. The gap between the consum­ers and the retailers which avoid
engaging in e-business grows all the time, and dropping out of competition may
be extremely fast. The drastic changes in retail trade also impact the
wholesale sector. E-business makes it possible to reach the end customer
globally through traditional distribution channels or without them. 

We see the changes in the future and in retail trade primarily as an
opportunity for our clients and for Solteq. The changing operating environment
and consumer behavior create opportunities but turning them to profitable
business requires customer oriented solutions. We want to cooperate with our
clients and help them succeed in turning the threats brought by changes into
opportunities by providing them with appropriate software solutions. 

We will continue on the road we have chosen with increased determination

In fall 2013, we started to make plans for the strategy period which will start
in 2015. We will continue, with increased determination, developing our
strengths and competitive advantages as well as new solutions that serve the
needs of our clients, probing for new busi­ness opportunities, and focusing on
our clients. It is important for us to make sustainable decisions which ensure
the continuity of both Solteq's and our clients' business operations. 

In 2013, we paid increasing attention to international activities. Our
operations mainly take place in Finland, although our solutions are used in
more than 20 countries. Our busi­ness operations have become international
through the international operations of our clients, and this is the direction
we intend to proceed in. In future, we will pay more attention to how we are
able to respond more effectively to the tightening international competition in
software solutions. 

I would like to extend my thanks to our clients, personnel and partners, as
well as owners and other stakeholders for the open and strengthening
cooperation in 2013. It is great to have you with us turning changes into
opportunities.

During the review period the revenue of the Enterprise Asset & Service Business
Manage­ment segment totalled 5,2 million euros and the operating result was 0,7
million euros. 

REVENUE AND RESULT

Revenue decreased by 2,3 % compared to the previous year and totalled 38.124
thousand euros (previous financial year 39.016 thousand euros). 

Revenue consists of several individual customerships. At the most, one client
cor­responds to less than ten percentages of the revenue. 

The operating result for the financial year was 2.141 thousand euros (2.731
thousand euros), result before taxes was 1.927 thousand euros (2.433 thousand
euros) and result for the financial year 1.621 thousand euros (1.697 thousand
euros). 

The partial realisation of financial risks in a single major project in the
Wholesale, Logistics and Services Segment was the most significant individual
factor that influenced the decrease in turnover and operating profit. According
to Solteq's view the company has fully provided for these risks. Corrective
measures were made in this area during the year to minimize the impacts on
business operations. 

On 22 March 2012, Solteq Plc and Aldata Solution Plc completed a transaction in
which Solteq Plc acquired Aldata Solution Finland Ltd, the daughter company
under 100% ownership of Aldata Solution Plc. During the financial year 2013 the
revenue of the acquired business operations developed as expected and was 11,7
million euros (9,5 million euros in 2012, consolidated into the Solteq Group
from 1.3.2012). Operating result of the acquired business was 0,9 million euros
in 2013 (0,9 million euros in 2012). 

As part of the corporate acquisition published on 20 March 2012, the company
bought and re-leased its office space proper­ties in Tampere. The balance sheet
value of the office space properties at the time of sale was 1.590 thousand
EUR. The sales profit relating to the sale of commercial property shares, 887
thousand EUR, is presented in other income in reference year. 

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING

The total assets amounted to 25.386 thou­sand euros (27.096 thousand euros).
Liquid assets totalled 2.367 thousand euros (1.242 thousand euros). In addition
to liquid assets, the company has unused bank account limits amounting to a
total of 1.500 thousand euros in the end of the financial year. 

The Group's interest-bearing liabilities were 5.555 thousand euros (6.430
thousand euros). 

Solteq Group's equity ratio was 43,5 per cent (37,2 per cent).

INVESTMENTS, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

thousand euros). The investments of the financial period are mainly replacement
investments. Of the investments during the reference year, 8.301 thousand EUR

EUR of disinvestments was connected to the sale of the office space properties
in Tampere. Otherwise, invest­ments in the reference year are replacement
investments. 

Research and development

Solteq's research and development costs consist mainly of personnel costs. When
developing basic products, it is Solteq's strategy to cooperate with global
actors such as SAP, Symphony EYC and Microsoft and utilize their resources and
distribution chan­nels. Own development efforts are focused on added value
products and developing tailored service concepts.

statements were adopted and the members of the board and the managing director

auditors. Lotta Nurminen, APA, acted as the chief auditor. 

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The key uncertainties and risks in short term are related to the timing and
pricing of business deals that are the basis for revenue, changes in the level
of costs and the com­pany's ability to manage extensive contract agreements and
deliveries. 

The key business risks and uncertainties of the company are monitored
constantly as a part of the board of directors' and manage­ment team's duties.
The company has not organized a separate internal audit organiza­tion or
committee. 

PROSPECTS

Both revenue and operating result are expected to grow compared to financial
year 2013. 

PROPOSAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE DISPOSAL OF PROFIT FOR THE FINANCIAL
YEAR 

At the end of the financial period 2013, the distributable equity of the
Group's parent company is 9 483 308,16 euros. 

The Solteq Plc Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of
EUR 0.03 per share will be paid for each share. In view of the current number
of the shares, this would mean the distribution of approx. 450 thousand euros
to the shareholders. 

In addition to this is proposed that the Board be authorised, on the basis of
Chapter 13, Section 6, Sub-section 2 of the Finnish Companies Act, to decide on
the distribution of a dividend amounting to a maximum of 0,05 EUR per share or
of other assets from the distributable equity reserve, as well as decide on the
timing and other details concerning the possible distribution. In view of the
current number of the shares, this would mean the distribution of approx. 750
thousand euros to the shareholders (In the Annual General Meeting 2013 the
Board got an authorisa­tion for a dividend, or other assets from the
distributable equity reserve amounting to a maximum of EUR 0.04. The Board
decided, based on this authorisation, on 18.11.2013 on a dividend payment of
EUR 0.02). 

No essential changes have taken place in the company's financial situation
after the end of the financial period. The liquidity of the company is good,
and in the Board's estima­tion the proposed distribution of dividend or other
assets will not endanger the company's financial standing. 

Financial reporting

Financial Statements Bulletin 1.1.-31.12.2013 has been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting -standard. The financial statement
figures presented in the bulletin are based on the company's audited financial
statements using the same accounting policies. The Auditor's Report was
provided on 13/2/2014. 

The financial result is reported through three business areas. Grocery and
special retail, HoReCa segment, Wholesale, Logistics and Services and
Enterprise Asset & Service Business Management. The most essential product and
service types of the Solteq group of companies are software services, licenses
and hardware sales. 

All forecasts and estimates presented in the bulletin are based on the current
views of management on the economic environment and outlook. Because of this,
the results can differ as a result of, among other factors, changes in economy,
markets and competitive conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and
other government actions.
