(1 )Deferred income tax assets for tax loss carryforwards and non-deductible net
interest  expenses amounting to EUR 9 million were recognised at the end of year
2014 due  to  the  significant  change  in  profitability  as  a  result  of new
financing.  Prior  to  the  change  in  capital structure and the refinancing of
indebtedness at the end of year 2014 it was unlikely that the Company could have
utilised its tax loss carryforwards. Further information for deferred tax assets
recognised  is disclosed  in note  22 of the  financial statements  for the year
2014.
(2)  Earnings per  share is  calculated by  using the  number of ordinary shares
outstanding  after the balance sheet date  of 31 December 2014 that includes the
shares issued without payment to the sole shareholder of the Company in February
2015.

Basis for compilation of the pro forma income statement information

Asiakastieto  Group  Plc  changed  its  capital  structure  and  refinanced  its
indebtedness  in  November  and  December  2014. The  pro forma income statement
information is presented to illustrate the impact of the change in the Company's
capital  structure and  refinancing indebtedness  on the  Company's consolidated
finance  expenses and result of operations before taxes assuming that the change
in  capital structure and  refinancing measures had  been completed on 1 January
2014. After  the change in  the Company's capital  structure and refinancing its
indebtedness  the Company's consolidated finance expenses decreased, because the
loan amount and the interest rate of the new facilities are lower.

The  unaudited pro forma income statement  information is based on the financial
information  in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
31 December  2014. The pro  forma financial  information does  not include a pro
forma  statement of financial position as the impacts of change in the Company's
capital structure and refinancing of its indebtedness are fully accounted for in
the  Company's consolidated  statement of  financial position  as at 31 December
2014.

The  finance expenses of EUR 28,9 million  in the financial year 2014 related to
the  former financing have  been eliminated from  the pro forma income statement
information  for  the  interim  periods.  In  addition,  the pro forma financial
expenses  amounting to EUR 1,5 million on an  annual basis have been adjusted to
the  pro forma income  statement information for  the interim periods to reflect
the finance expenses arising from the new facilities.

The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only.
The  pro  forma  adjustments  are  based  on  the  impact  of changes in capital
structure  and  refinancing  the  indebtedness  and assumptions described in the
section  "Pro  forma  financial  information"  of  the Prospectus dated 13 March
2015.

(__________________________________________________________________)
(1)  Growth of net sales is calculated by comparing net sales in the quarters of
year 2014 to net sales in the equivalent quarters of year 2013.

(2  )Adjusted key figures are adjusted by non-recurring items. The non-recurring
items  include management  fees for  advisory services  paid to  Investcorp, the
former  owner of the Company, until the listing of the Company, costs related to
the  listing, fees  for legal  and other  advisory, redundancy payments and paid
compensations.  The non-recurring items  in the financial  year 2014 totalled to
EUR  -1,0 million (Q1 EUR  -57,0 thousand, Q2 EUR  -106,9 thousand, Q3 EUR -97,1
thousand and Q4 EUR -721,1 thousand).

(3)  Key ratios in  the Q1- Q3  quarters of year  2014 are not comparable to key
ratios  in the  equivalent quarters  of year  2015 as a  result of the change in
capital structure and the refinancing of indebtedness carried out by the Company
at the end of 2014.
