President & CEO Arto Metsänen:
“As a result of the measures implemented during the first quarter our company
now stands on a solid foundation and we can focus on developing our business
operations. We completed the sales of the Software Solutions segment and the
Tampere factory property, implemented a share issue and a conversion issue, and
agreed a new long-term financing agreement. The implemented arrangements
reduced our net debt significantly and raised our equity ratio to a good level. 

Glaston's markets developed according to our expectations in the first quarter.
The cautious revival of the North American market that began at the end of last
year continued. The Asian market also continued to develop favourably. No major
changes occurred in the South American market. In the EMEA area, the market was
still challenging, with significant regional differences. 

Our company's main objective for 2013 is a positive operating result. The
adjustment programme completed at the end of 2012, which will yield around EUR
5 million in savings on an annual basis, combined with the measures implemented
at beginning of this year, will create an excellent basis to achieve this
objective.” 

Glaston's outlook for 2013 unchanged
Glaston expects 2013 net sales to be on the 2012 level and the operating result
to be positive. 

Markets
Glaston's market situation developed according to expectations during the first
quarter. After a slow January, the market picked up and, as the end of the
reporting season approached, there were clear signs of growth in demand. 

Machines
In the Machines segment, the cautiously positive development of the Asian and
particularly the North American market continued in the first quarter. In the
EMEA area, the market developed unevenly, with significant differences between
regions. The favourable development of the Eastern European and Russian markets
continued. In South America, the market remained stable. 

In the review period, a new pre-processing machine, the UC1000™, was launched
to the market and the first sale of the machine, to Russia, was completed. Also
in the review period, there was a significant double edge grinding machine sale
to Eastern Europe. In heat treatment machines, the Glaston FC500™ product range
further strengthened its position, driven particularly by a revival of
construction start-ups in North America. 

The Machines segment's January-March net sales totalled EUR 19.1 (21.9) million
and the operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was a loss of EUR 0.4
(0.9 loss) million. 

Services
The Services segment's year started slowly worldwide, particularly in spare
parts sales, but it picked up significantly in the final month of the review
period. The company's market position remained strong, particularly in heat
treatment machine maintenance work. Price competition in pre-processing machine
spare parts sales continued to be very intense. Despite this, Glaston managed
to increase its sales of pre-processing machine spare parts in Asia and in the
EMEA area. 

In the review period, the following new upgrade products were installed: an
iControL automation system upgrade to New Zealand; a new flat tempering
RC200-zone™ heating chamber replaced an old chamber in the United Arab
Emirates; and furnace roller heat control, RHC technology, was added to a flat
tempering machine in Russia. In the APAC area, two significant deals were
closed, with a total value of around EUR 0.5 million. 

In January-March, the Services segment's net sales totalled EUR 7.7 (8.5)
million. The operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was EUR 1.2 (1.7)
million. 

Continuing Operations' orders received and order book
Orders received during the first quarter totalled EUR 28.8 (28.3) million. Of
orders received, the Machines segment accounted for 74% and the Services
segment 26%. 

Glaston's order book on 31 March 2013 was EUR 39.4 (35.2) million. Of the order
book, the Machines segment accounted for EUR 37.8 million and the Services
segment for EUR 1.6 million.

Continuing Operations' operating result in January-March was a profit of EUR
3.4 (3.7 loss) million. Non-recurring items totalling EUR 3.7 million were
recognised in the first quarter of the year. 

Of the 2013 non-recurring items, the most significant was a capital gain of EUR
3.8 million from the sale of the Tampere property complex. A goodwill
impairment loss of EUR 3.0 million directed at Pre-processing operations, which
belong to the Machines segment, was recognised as a non-recurring item in the
first quarter of 2012. 

During the first quarter, Glaston repurchased convertible bonds with a nominal
value EUR 2 million at a price which was below the nominal value. This
repurchase yielded financial income of EUR 0.9 million. Similarly, during the
first quarter, the remaining convertible bond and debenture bond with accrued
interest were used as payment in the share issue (conversion issue). As the
subscription price of the conversion issue was higher than the fair value of
the share at the time of subscription, financial income of EUR 1.9 million
arose to Glaston in connection with the conversion issue. These financial
income items had no impact on cash flow. 

Continuing Operations' result in January-March was a profit of EUR 4.7 (5.0
loss) million. The result, after the result of Discontinued Operations, was a
profit of EUR 4.7 (5.3 loss) million. The January-March return on capital
employed (ROCE) for Continuing Operations was 28.9 (-13.1)%. Return on capital
employed was 29.4 (-13.7)%. 

Earnings per share
Continuing Operations' earnings per share in the first quarter were EUR 0.04
(-0.04) and Discontinued Operations' earnings per share were EUR 0.00 (0.00),
i.e. a total of EUR 0.04 (-0.05). 

Financial position, cash flow and financing
In the first quarter, the Group implemented extensive measures to strengthen
the company's financial position. These measures included a share issue, the
conversion of convertible and debenture bonds into shares by using them as
payment in the conversion issue, a new long-term financing agreement, the
completion of the sale of the Software Solutions segment, and the sale and
leaseback of the Tampere factory property complex. 

On 7 February 2013, Glaston signed a new long-term financing agreement. The
financing agreement consists of a EUR 26.7 million long-term loan, a EUR 10
million revolving credit facility and a EUR 8.0 million guarantee limit. The
financing agreement is for three years and it is valid until 31 January 2016. 

The covenants in use are interest cover, net debt/EBITDA, cash and cash
equivalents, and gross capital expenditure. The covenants will be monitored,
depending on the covenant, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. With
respect to the interest cover covenant, the first monitoring date is after the
first quarter of 2014. 

The terms and conditions of the new financing agreement include a restriction
on the distribution of dividends. According to the restriction, no dividends
may be distributed for the financial years 2012 and 2013. The restriction will
not be applied to the minimum dividend distributed under the Companies Act. 

The prerequisites for the entry into force of the new financing agreement were,
among other things, the execution of a share issue directed at the public, the
execution of a share issue directed at the holders of the convertible bond
issued by Glaston in 2009 and the debenture bond issued by Glaston in 2011, as
well as the repurchase convertible bonds with the nominal value of EUR 2.0
million, and the completion of the sales of the Software Solutions segment and
the Tampere property complex. All conditions were fulfilled by 28 March 2013
and the financing agreement entered into force. 

Glaston's interest-bearing net debt declined significantly during the first
quarter. Interest-bearing net debt declined from EUR 57.7 million on 31
December 2012 to EUR 10.5 million on 31 March 2013. Interest-bearing debt was
reduced by funds obtained from the sales of the Software Solutions business
area and the Tampere property complex. The repurchase of the convertible bonds
and the use of the remaining convertible bond and the debenture bond as payment
in the conversion issue also reduced interest-bearing debt. The Group's liquid
funds at the end of the review period totalled EUR 18.1 (13.0) million.
Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR 10.5 (53.4) million and net gearing was
19.6 (112.7)%; net gearing was 188.4% on 31 December 2012. 

The share issues executed during the first quarter improved Glaston's equity
ratio significantly. A EUR 10 million share issue was directed at the public
and a conversion issue was directed at holders of the convertible bond and the
debenture bond. In the conversion issue, the capital of the bonds and accrued
interest, a total of EUR 11.4 million were used as payment for the shares. Both
share issues were entered into the reserve for invested unrestricted equity.
The share issue expenses have been deducted from the reserve for invested
unrestricted equity. The equity ratio was 44.6 (28.8)% on 31 March 2013, and
was 21.6% on 31 December 2012. 

At the end of the first quarter, the consolidated asset total was EUR 138.3
(177.7) million. The equity attributable to owners of the parent was EUR 53.3
(47.0) million. The share issue-adjusted equity per share was EUR 0.28 (0.42).
Return on equity in January-March was 44.3 (-42.6)%. 

Cash flow from the operating activities of Continuing and Discontinued
operations, before the change in working capital, was EUR 1.4 (1.4) million in
the review period. The change in working capital was EUR 0.9 (-2.8) million.
Cash flow from investing activities was EUR +24.3 (-1.8) million. Cash flow
from investing activities was improved by the proceeds from the sale of both
Software Solutions segment and Tampere property, in total EUR 25.4 million.
Cash flow from financing activities in January-March was EUR -19.6 (-2.3)
million. Funds from the share issues, net of expenses, were EUR 9.1 million,
and the repayments of interest-bearing debt were in total EUR -28.8 million. 

Capital expenditure, depreciation and amortisation
The gross capital expenditure of Glaston's Continuing and Discontinued
Operations totalled EUR 1.1 (1.8) million. The most significant investments in
the review period were in product development. Depreciation and amortisation of
Continuing Operations on property, plant and equipment and on intangible assets
totalled EUR 1.2 (1.3) million. A EUR 3.0 million goodwill impairment loss,
directed at Pre-processing operating segment, which belong to the Machines
segment, was recognised in the first quarter of 2012. 

Discontinued Operations
In October 2012, Glaston announced that it was negotiating the sale of the
Software Solutions business area, and in November 2012 published a stock
exchange release stating that it had concluded a binding agreement on the sale
of this business area. The sale was completed on 4 February 2013 when the
shares in Albat+Wirsam Software GmbH were sold to Constellation Software Inc.
acting through its Friedman Operating Group as all the closing conditions were
fulfilled. 

The result of Glaston's Discontinued Operations in 2013 includes the result of
the Software Solutions business area for the period 1 January-31 January 2013
as well as the result on the sale of the business area.

consolidated financial statements for the period 1 January - 31 December 2012.
In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Annual General
Meeting resolved that no dividend be distributed for the financial year ending
31 December 2012. 

The Annual General Meeting discharged the Members of the Board of Directors and
the President & CEO from liability for the financial year 1 January - 31

the Board of Directors in which a weighty financial reason would exist for
issuing shares, options or other rights granting entitlement to shares and
possibly directing a share issue. 

The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on all other terms and
conditions of the issuance of shares, options and other rights entitling to

Extraordinary General Meeting, proposals concerning the number and identities
of the members of the Board of Directors and the remuneration of the Board of
Directors. In addition, the task of the Nomination Board is to seek candidates
as potential board members. The Nomination Board consists of four members, all
of which shall be appointed by the company's four largest shareholders, who
shall appoint one member each. The Chairman of the company's Board of Directors
shall serve as an advisory member of the Nomination Board. 

The company's largest shareholders entitled to appoint members to the
Nomination Board shall be determined on the basis of the registered holdings in
the company's shareholder register held by Euroclear Finland Ltd as of the
first working day in September in the year concerned. The Chairman of the Board
of Directors shall request each of the four largest shareholders to appoint one
member to the Nomination Board. In the event that a shareholder does not wish
to exercise his or her right to appoint a representative, it shall pass to the
next-largest shareholder who would not otherwise be entitled to appoint a
member to the Nomination Board. 

The Nomination Board shall elect a Chairman from among its members. The
Chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the
Nomination Board and the Nomination Board's Chairman shall be responsible for
convening subsequent meetings. The Nomination Board shall deliver its proposal,
which will be included in the notice to the Annual General Meeting, to the
Company's Board of Directors by the end of January preceding the next Annual
General Meeting. 

Uncertainties and risks in the near future
Glaston's business environment remains challenging. Slower economic growth and
uncertainty in the financial markets could affect the timing of large machine
orders. The general economic uncertainty continues to affect customers'
investment activity. 

Global economic uncertainty and its impact on development of the sector have
been taken into account in the short-term forecasts. If the recovery of the
sector is delayed further or slows, this will have a negative effect on future
cash flows. 

Glaston performs annual goodwill impairment testing during the final quarter of
the year. In addition, goodwill impairment testing is performed if there are
indications of impairment. Due to prolonged market uncertainty, it is possible
that Glaston's recoverable amounts will be insufficient to cover the carrying
amounts of assets, particularly goodwill. If this happens, it will be necessary
to recognise an impairment loss, which, when implemented, will weaken the
result and equity. 

General business risks and risk management are outlined in more detail in
Glaston's 2012 Annual Report and on the company's website www.glaston.net. 

Outlook
Our expectations for the development of the market in 2013 remain cautiously
positive. In North America, the outlook for construction in particular is more
positive than in 2012. We expect that the cautiously favourable development in
Asia will continue. Stable development in South America is expected to
continue. In Europe, the market is still developing unevenly, with substantial
differences between areas. 

As a result of economic uncertainty and overcapacity, the market for new glass
processing machines will continue to be challenging. The development of the
service market is expected to remain positive. 

The measures implemented during the first quarter to improve the financial
position as well as the adjustment programme implemented during the end of the
year 2012 provide good opportunities for business development. We will continue
our investments in product development and in the further development of glass
processing lifecycle services. 

Glaston expects 2013 net sales to be on the 2012 level and the operating result
to be positive.

================================================================================



During the first quarter Glaston had two share issues. A EUR 10 million share
issue was directed to the public and another share issue was directed to the
holders of the convertible bond and the debenture bond. In this conversion
issue the principals as well as accrued interest, in total EUR 11.4 million,
were used as payment for the shares. Both share issues were recognized in
reserve for invested unrestricted equity. The expenses arising from the share
issue, in total EUR 0.9 million, have been deducted from the reserve for
invested unrestricted equity. 

FINANCIAL ITEMS

During the first quarter Glaston purchased back convertible bonds with a
nominal value of EUR 2 million. The price paid for the bonds was less than the
nominal value which resulted in a EUR 0.9 million financial income. 

In addition, during the first quarter the remaining convertible bonds with
accrued interest as well as debenture bond with accrued interest were used as
payment in a share issue (conversion issue). As the conversion price was higher
than the fair value of the share at the time of conversion, a financial income
of EUR 1.9 million was recognized. 

Neither of the financial income affected cash flow.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The consolidated interim financial statements of Glaston Group are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting as approved by the European Union. They do not include all
of the information required for full annual financial statements. 

The accounting principles applied in these interim financial statements are the
same as those applied by Glaston in its consolidated financial statements as at
and for the year ended 31 December, 2012, with the exception of the following
new or revised or amended standards and interpretations which have been applied
from 1 January, 2013: 

- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements
- Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of
Items of Other Comprehensive Income 
- IAS 19 (revised) Employee Benefits
- IAS 27 (revised) Separate Financial Statements
- IAS 28 (revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009 - 2011 Cycle, published in May 2012

The revised and amended standard has been applied for annual periods beginning
on or after 1 January, 2013, except that revised IAS 1 has been applied for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July, 2012. 

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements standard changed the definition of
control in other entities. Control is the basis for including an entity in the
consolidated financial statements. The application of IFRS 10 does not affect
the consolidated financial statements of Glaston. 

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities standard increases the
disclosure information of group companies in the consolidated financial
statements. 

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements standard increases the disclosure information
in the consolidated financial statements but has otherwise no material effect
on Glaston's consolidated financial statements. 

Amended to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income standard
changed the presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated
financial statements but has otherwise no effect on Glaston's consolidated
financial statements. 

Revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard changed the recognition of actuarial
gains and losses. The corridor method is no longer allowed in recognizing
actuarial gains and losses but they are recognized in other comprehensive
income. Only current and past service costs as well as net interest on net
defined benefit liability can be recorded in profit or loss. Other changes in
net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income with
not subsequent recycling to profit or loss. The revised IAS 19 standard has
been applied retrospectively. 

Other new or amended standards or interpretations applicable from 1 January,
2013 are not material for Glaston Group. 

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR REPORTING PERIODS

Revised IAS 19 Employee benefits standard has been applied retrospectively. The
effects of the revised standard on consolidated statement of financial position
are presented in the table below. The effects on consolidated statement of
profit or loss were not material. The effects on Glaston's statement of profit
or loss of 2012 are presented in the table below. The restatement did not
affect the result of discontinued operations. The restatement of defined
benefit pension and other defined long-term employee benefit liabilities
affected mainly the Machines segment. 

Glaston recognizes interest expenses arising from defined benefit plans in
financial items.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Glaston Group's related parties include the parent and subsidiaries. Related
parties also include the members of the Board of Directors and the Group's
Executive Management Group, the CEO and their family members. Also the
shareholders, which have significant influence in Glaston through shareholding,
are consider to be related parties, as well as the companies controlled by
these shareholders. 

Glaston follows the same commercial terms in transactions with related parties
as with third parties. 

Glaston had rented premises from companies owned by individuals belonging to
the management. The rents paid correspond with the local level of rents. The
related party connection ceased at 30 November, 2012. The lease payments were
in January - March 2012 EUR 0.1 million. 

During the review period there were no related party transactions whose terms
would differ from the terms in transactions with third parties. 

Share-based payment plan

The Board of Directors of Glaston Corporation approved on 7 February 2013, a
new share-based incentive plan for the Group key employees. 

The new plan includes one performance period, beginning on 15 March 2013 and
ending on 15 March 2014. The prerequisite for participation in the plan and for
reward payment on the basis of the performance period was that a key employee
subscribed Glaston shares in the share issue in March 2013. Rewards from the
plan will be paid in the Glaston shares in April 2014 providing that the key
employee's employment or service with the Group is in force and that he or she
still owns the shares subscribed in the share issue. If the prerequisites for
the reward payment are fulfilled, a key employee shall receive one matching
share (gross) for every three shares subscribed in the share issue. The main
principle is that no reward will be paid, if the key employee's employment or
service ends before reward payment. 

The plan is directed to approximately 28 people.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE

Financial instruments at fair value include derivatives. Other financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss can include mainly Glaston's
current investments, which are classified as held for trading, i.e. which have
been acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling them in the
near future. Also available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair
value. 

Fair values of publicly traded derivatives are calculated based on quoted
market rates at the end of the reporting period (fair value hierarchy, level
1). All Glaston's derivatives are publicly traded. 

Listed investments are measured at the market price at the end of the reporting
period (fair value hierarchy, level 2). Investments, for which fair values
cannot be measured reliably, such as unlisted equities, are reported at cost or
at cost less impairment (fair value hierarchy, level 3). 

Fair value measurement hierarchy:

 Level 1 = quoted prices in active markets
 Level 2 = other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
either directly or indirectly 

 Level 3 = not based on observable market data, fair value equals cost or cost
less impairment. 
During the reporting period there were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 of
the fair value hierarchy. 

During the reporting period there were no changes in the valuation techniques
of levels 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

value hierarchy had no effect on the profit or loss of the reporting period or
on other comprehensive income. These financial instruments are not measured at
fair value on recurring basis.
