President & CEO Arto Metsänen:
“After a challenging start of the year, markets showed signs of picking up in
the third quarter of 2012. In the North American market, the cautiously
positive development continued. In South America and the EMEA area, the market
was stable. The market picked up in Asia. 

In October we announced that we were negotiating the sale of the Software
Solutions business area. The sale is expected to be completed by the end of the
year. The sale will enable us to direct our strategic focus towards our core
operations, namely on glass processing machines and related services. In these
business areas we have outstanding know-how and the best opportunities to serve
and support our customers. 

The glass industry's most important fair, Glasstec, which took place at the end
of October, exceeded our expectations in terms of activity. We launched a
number of new products at the fair, for example the Glaston RC350™ flat
tempering machine, equipped with the latest technology, and the Glaston Air™
solution for tempering 2 millimetre glass. Glaston's new tempering machines
have been very well received in the market, and a number of preliminary
agreements were made at the fair, particularly for the Glaston FC 500™ and the
Glaston RC 200™ products.” 

Glaston's outlook for 2012
On October 19, 2012, Glaston revised its outlook for 2012. Glaston expects that
the 2012 net sales of Continuing Operations will be on the level of 2011 (2011
Continuing Operations: EUR 119.6 million). Continuing Operations' operating
result excluding non-recurring items is expected to be a slight loss (in 2011
Continuing Operations' operating result excluding non-recurring items was a
loss of EUR 3.1 million). Glaston's Continuing Operations comprises the
Machines and Services business areas. 

Markets
Market development during the third quarter of 2012 was largely in line with
expectations. In North America, the market continued its gradual recovery. In
South America and the EMEA area, market conditions remained relatively stable.
After a quiet start to the year, demand in Asia picked up in the third quarter. 

As Glaston will focus in future on the Machines and Services business areas,
the company's operations will be divided more evenly into the different
geographical areas. The geographical division of Continuing Operations' net
sales is presented in more detail in the section Continuing Operations' net
sales and operating result. 

Machines
In the third quarter, the development of the Machines segment's market in North
America was cautiously positive. In the EMEA area, the market remained
relatively good but, due to the unstable economic outlook, customers'
decision-making times lengthened. In Asia, the market picked up in the third
quarter. 

The focus of product development was on tempering of thin (2 mm) glass and
improving end product's optical quality. At the Glasstec fair, the glass
industry's leading event, held in October, Glaston presented the GlastonAir™
air floatation technology for thin glass tempering. At the event, Glaston also
announced a global cooperation agreement with the German company Arcon relating
to the reduction of anisotropy, namely iridescence, in glass. 

In the third quarter, among the products presented by the Pre-processing
product line at the Glasstec fair were the new UC 300 and UC 500 automatic
cutting lines and the new GlasWash glass washing machine. 

In January-September, the Machines segment's net sales totalled EUR 62.0 (63.8)
million. The operating result excluding non-recurring items was a loss of EUR
3.1 (3.4 loss) million. 

Services
In the third quarter, the Services segment's market in North America developed
positively, with demand being directed over the entire product range. In South
America and in Asia, the third quarter was challenging. As the utilisation
rates of customers' machines remained low, demand for both spare parts and
modernisation products was weak. In the EMEA area, the market was stable. 

In the review period, the Services segment launched a number of new products,
all connected with improving end product capability and increasing capacity.
There has been an emphasis on the user-friendliness of products. At the
Glasstec fair, Glaston presented the RC200 zone™ upgrade product, which enables
the modernisation of old or damaged chambers of tempering machines. The company
also launched a new control system upgrade, iControl™ (iC™), for Glaston's flat
tempering lines. iControl™ improves process management and increases
productivity. 

In the third quarter, a number of significant deals were concluded in the
Middle East, Russia and North America. In the Pacific area, Glaston concluded
its largest ever single deal of the Services segment, valued at around EUR 0.9
million. 

The Services segment's January-September net sales totalled EUR 22.3 (23.1)
million and the operating result excluding non-recurring items was a profit of
EUR 4.0 (4.7) million. 

Continuing Operations' orders received
Glaston's orders received in the review period totalled EUR 84.7 (85.6)
million. Of orders received, the Machines segment accounted for 72% and the
Services segment 28%. Orders received in the third quarter totalled EUR 28.4
(21.8) million, i.e. showing a 30% growth. 

Continuing Operations' order book
Glaston's order book on 30 September 2012 was EUR 35.3 (34.5) million. Of the
order book, the Machines segment accounted for EUR 31.3 million and the
Services segment for EUR 4.0 million.

Continuing Operations' operating result was a loss of EUR 6.9 (3.1 loss)
million. A goodwill impairment loss of EUR 3.0 million directed at the
Pre-processing operating segment was recognised as a non-recurring item in the
first quarter. 

Continuing Operations' result in January-September was a loss of EUR 11.9 (14.0
loss) million, and in the third quarter a loss of EUR 2.0 (4.3 loss) million.
The result, after the result of Discontinued Operations, was a loss of EUR 17.1
(13.3 loss) million, and in the third quarter a loss of EUR 7.8 (4.6 loss)
million. Discontinued Operations' result includes a EUR 5.2 million goodwill
impairment loss. Return on capital employed was -13.1 (-1.6)%.

Continuing Operations' earnings per share were EUR -0,11 (-0.14), while
Discontinued Operations' earnings per share were -0.05 (+0.01) euros, i.e. a
total of EUR -0.16 (-0.13). In July-September, Continuing Operations' earnings
per share were EUR -0.02 (-0.04), while Discontinued Operations' earnings per
share were EUR -0.06 (0.00), i.e. a total of EUR -0.07 (-0.04). 

Financial position, cash flow and financing
At the end of the review period, the consolidated asset total was EUR 163.4
(187.9) million. The equity attributable to owners of the parent was EUR 36.0
(54.0) million, i.e. EUR 0.34 (0.51) per share. The equity ratio on 30

31.1%. Net gearing was 156.3 (101.4)% (on 31 December 2011: 93.5%).

financial expenses (interest cover), net debt/EBITDA, cash and cash equivalents
and gross capital expenditure. During the review period, Glaston renegotiated
some of the loan covenants with lenders. 

Adjustment measures
In the third quarter, adjustment measures were directed primarily at Italy,
where temporary layoffs of personnel continued 

Capital expenditure, depreciation and amortisation
The gross capital expenditure of Glaston's Continuing and Discontinued
Operations totalled EUR 4.4 (4.1) million. In the review period, there were no
significant individual investments; the biggest investments were
capitalisations of product development expenditure. 

In the review period, depreciation and amortisation of Continuing Operations on
property, plant and equipment, and on intangible assets totalled EUR 4.0 (4.1)
million. A EUR 3.0 million goodwill impairment loss, directed at the Machines
business area, was recognised in the first quarter. 

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations consists of Glaston's Software Solutions business area.
On 19 October 2012, Glaston announced in a stock exchange release that it was
entering into negotiations on the sale of the Software Solutions business area. 

Discontinued Operations' revenue in the review period totalled EUR 15.1 (17.5)
million and the result before taxes was a loss of EUR 4.7 (1.0 profit) million.
Discontinued Operations' result includes a EUR 5.2 million goodwill impairment
loss, which arose from the remeasurement of net assets held for sale at fair
value less costs to sell. 

Organisation and personnel
In August, Glaston announced a change in its Executive Management Group. Sasu
Koivumäki, Vice President Sales and Service in North America was appointed
Chief Financial Officer as of 1 October 2012. 

 On 30 September 2012, Glaston's Continuing Operations had a total of 624 (693)
employees, of whom 25% worked in Finland and 25% elsewhere in Europe, 31% in
Asia and 20% in the Americas. In the review period, the average number of
employees was 638 (705). On 30 September 2012, the Software Solutions segment
had a total of 186 (205) employees. In the review period, Continuing and
Discontinued Operations had an average total of 830 (907) employees. 

Shares and share prices
Glaston Corporation's paid and registered share capital on 30 September 2012
was EUR 12.7 million and the number of issued and registered shares totalled
105,588,636. The company has one series of share. At the end of September, the
company held 788,582 of the company's own shares (treasury shares),
corresponding to 0.75% of the total number of issued and registered shares and
votes. The counter book value of treasury shares is EUR 94,819. 

Every share that the company does not hold itself entitles its owner to one
vote at the Annual General Meeting. The share has no nominal value. The counter
book value of each registered share is EUR 0.12. 

On 30 September 2012, the market capitalisation of the company's shares,
treasury shares excluded, was EUR 29.3 (67.1) million. During the first nine
months of the year, approximately 13.6 million of the company's shares were
traded, i.e. around 13% of the average number of shares. The lowest price paid
for a share was EUR 0.24 and the highest price EUR 0.74. The volume-weighted
average price of shares traded during January-September was EUR 0.43. The
closing price on 30 September 2012 was EUR 0.28. 

The equity per share attributable to owners of the parent was EUR 0.34 (0.51).

Events after the review period
On 19 October 2012, Glaston announced in a stock exchange release that it was
entering into negotiations on the sale of the Software Solutions business area.
The sale is expected to be completed by the end of the year. As a result, the
company revised its outlook. Glaston expects that the 2012 net sales of
Continuing Operations will be on the level of 2011 (2011 Continuing Operations:
EUR 119.6 million). Continuing Operations' operating result excluding
non-recurring items is expected to be a slight loss (in 2011 Continuing
Operations' operating result excluding non-recurring items was a loss of EUR
3.1 million). Glaston's Continuing Operations comprises the Machines and
Services business areas. 

Uncertainties and risks in the near future
Glaston's uncertainties and risks in the near future are to a large extent
linked to the development of the world economy. Economic instability in Europe
as well as slower growth in Asia will affect Glaston's development. Slower
economic growth may continue to result in the postponement of orders and
changes in machine delivery schedules. Customers' difficulties relating to
finance arrangements may restrict their investment opportunities. These might
be reflected in the development of the latter part of the year. 

The underlying nature of the sector is expected to remain unchanged, so
development in the coming years is expected to be positive. If the recovery of
the sector is delayed or slows, this will have a negative effect on Glaston's
result. The shift of the geographical focus of business activity to areas of
higher economic growth will, however, dampen the financial impact of a possibly
slower recovery in Western Europe and North America, despite a levelling off of
the Asian and South American markets. 

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. 

Outlook
Glaston's markets will continue to be challenging in the final quarter of 2012.
Growth in the Asia market has levelled off. The North American market continues
to show signs of recovery, and we believe this positive trend will continue. We
expect stable development in the South Americas and EMEA area markets. 

The cornerstones of Glaston's operations remain the architectural glass segment
and the solar energy market. The architectural glass segment creates the
foundation for the company's future growth. In the longer term, prospects for
the solar energy segment are good. In these segments, Glaston is able to offer
its customers a modern and competitive product range. 
Glaston expects that the 2012 net sales of Continuing Operations will be on the
level of 2011 (2011 Continuing Operations: EUR 119.6 million). Continuing
Operations' operating result excluding non-recurring items is expected to be a
slight loss (in 2011 Continuing Operations' operating result excluding
non-recurring items was a loss of EUR 3.1 million). Glaston's Continuing
Operations comprises the Machines and Services business areas.

DEFINITIONS OF KEY RATIOS

Definitions of key ratios are presented in 2011 financial statements as well as
in January - March 2012 interim report. 

In calculation of key ratios, assets classified as held for sale and related
liabilities are treated as if they were not classified as held for sale. 

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, 2011, with the exception of certain new or
revised or amended standards and interpretations which have been applied from 1
January, 2012. These amended standards and interpretations are presented in
2011 financial statements as well as in January - March 2012 interim report. 

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The reportable segments of Glaston are Machines and Services. Software
Solutions, presented earlier as a reportable segment is classified as
discontinued operations as the criteria of discontinued operations as defined
in IFRS 5 are met. 

The reportable segments apply Glaston Group's accounting and measurement
principles. Glaston follows the same commercial terms in transactions between
segments as with third parties 

The reportable segments consist of operating segments, which have been
aggregated in accordance with the criteria of IFRS 8.12. Operating segments
have been aggregated, when the nature of the products and services is similar,
the nature of the production process is similar, as well as the type or class
of customers. Also the methods to distribute products or to provide services
are similar. 

 The reportable Machines segment consists of Glaston's operating segments
manufacturing glass processing machines and related tools. The Machines segment
includes manufacturing and sale of glass tempering, bending and laminating
machines sold under Tamglass and Uniglass brands, glass pre-processing machines
sold under the Bavelloni brand as well as manufacturing and sale of tools.
