Esa Harju, President and CEO:



”The end of the year 2013 went as expected, and whilst our operations were
still loss-making, our situation became more stable towards the year-end. 



In October we announced our new strategy, with future focus on those business
areas where we have the best possibilities to succeed as a design-led
technology partner for our clients. Our strategic focus is now on digital
solutions for industrial Internet, media companies, retail and brands, as well
as smart device manufacturers. Our solutions are based on our design and
software capabilities, as well as our domestic cloud offering. We also continue
to serve our customers in the public sector. 



In November-December we implemented a stock rights issue, which improved our
cash situation and balance sheet. At the same time we implemented a broad cost
saving programme in the company, which has brought our cost baseline at the
beginning of 2014 to significantly lower level than before. We will continue to
seek further efficiencies and cost savings in our operations during 2014. 



In November we signed an agreement with our Asian operator customer to
terminate our fixed-price project, which was based on a contract signed in
2012. The project was consequently finished in December. This agreement removed
the single biggest customer risk our company had. During 2013 we suffered
significant losses due to the project. 



During 2013 our turnover was still declining compared to the previous year, but
our revenue levels have started to stabilise towards the year-end. We are
expecting our revenue to start to grow again during 2014. 



In 2014 our business focus will be in our strategic target markets, and
geographically mainly in Finland and Nordics, UK and USA. We have been able to
deepen our existing customer relationships and to build new ones. This gives us
a good basis for 2014".

Operating profit for the fourth quarter was EUR −2.5 million (2012: EUR -5.3
million) and profit before tax was EUR −2.8 million (2012: EUR −5.6 million).

and return on investment (ROI) was −70.2 per cent (2012: -81.6 per cent). 



INVESTMENTS



Investments during the review period totalled EUR 0.5 million (2012: EUR 3.2
million). 




BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING



The balance sheet total was EUR 25.8 million (2012: EUR 33.3 million).
Shareholders' equity was EUR 3.7 million (2012: EUR 7.5 million). The equity
ratio was 13.2 per cent (2012: 22.6 per cent). The group's liquid assets at the
end of the review period amounted to EUR 0.5 million (2012: EUR 0.5 million). 



At the end of the review period, the balance sheet showed EUR 9.6 million
(2012: EUR 10.4 million) in bank loans. This amount includes overdraft in use. 



The bank loans have covenants attached to them. These covenants are based on
the equity ratio and on the proportion of interest-bearing bank loans to the
12-month rolling operating profit. At 31 December 2013, the company did not
meet the terms of the covenants. The company's non-current borrowings are
therefore presented as current liabilities, in accordance with IFRS. However,
the company has received waivers from its lenders until 31 December 2014. Bank
loans under the covenants were 31.12.2013 EUR 6.4 million (2012: EUR 7.6

GOODWILL


On 31 December 2013, the consolidated balance sheet included EUR 10.8 million
in goodwill. This is EUR 1.6 million less than at the same time in 2012. The
amount of goodwill has been reduced due to impairment recognised in September. 



The following parameters were used in the goodwill impairment testing:

  -- The review period of 4 years (instead of former 5 years).
  -- WACC discount rate 12% (remained).
  -- 1% growth estimate used for terminal value calculation (remained).



Due to the increased speed of development in technology the review period has
been reduced to 4 years. The reduction of the review period led to the goodwill
impairment recognized in September. The company made an impairment test on 31st
December 2013. The present value of future cash flows exceeded the carrying
value of assets by EUR 3.6 million and no impairment was recognized. 



CASH FLOW



Consolidated cash flow from operating activities during the review period was

Financial arrangements



On 22 July 2013 the company announced that its financiers had renewed a waiver
for premature payback of loans which include covenants until 31.12.2013, and
that it had secured a loan agreement for short term debt with Oy Turret Ab. The

When disclosing the prospectus on 14 November 2013, Ixonos announced that in

external financiers are to a certain extent the ratio between interest bearing
net debs as well as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciations and
amortizations (EBITDA). Depending on the financier and the calculation model,
the above-mentioned ratio shall be 3.0 or 2.5. In addition, part of the debt
financing contains a financial covenant according to which the Company's equity
ratio must not fall below 35%. The Company has breached against financial
covenants in its loan agreements, but has received waivers from financiers to
exempt the Company from immediate payback of loans. The waivers are valid until
31 December 2014. Due to the waiver period, the Company has booked the relevant
loans to current liabilities. 





Lowered revenue and profitability guidance and cost saving initiatives



Ixonos announced on 16 September 2013 that the forecasted revenue for 2013 will
be lower than the earlier guidance range of 40 - 50 MEUR. In the new guidance
the Company estimated 2013 revenue to be in the range of 35 - 38 MEUR. As a
result of the reduced revenue outlook, EBITDA for the full year was expected to
be negative. 



The reasons for the changed forecast were the following: Project with an Asian
operator (based on contract signed in 2012) being delayed and becoming
loss-making, strategy changes amongst some other key customers, and weakening
market outlook and demand. Ixonos booked a significant loss provision in its Q3
profit and loss statement due to the Asian operator project. 



Ixonos implemented a set of global cost saving initiatives during the second
half of 2013, and as part of this commenced co-operation negotiations with its
personnel in Finland on 16 September 2013 for reasons related to production and
financial position. 



Ixonos announced 29 October 2013 that the co-operation negotiations have
concluded. As the result of the negotiations it was decided that permanent
dismissals and temporary layoffs would affect maximum of 85 persons. In
addition it was decided that two-week fixed-term temporary lay-offs would
affect up to 12 persons in administration. 



Decisions of Ixonos Plc's extraordinary general meeting on 30 October 2013 and
consecutive decisions by board of directors and new subscription commitments 



Ixonos released announcement on 30 October about Decisions of Ixonos Plc's
extraordinary general meeting and consecutive decisions by board of directors
and new subscription commitments. 

Reverse share split

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Ixonos Plc held on 30 October 2013 decided
that the number of shares will be reduced without reducing the share capital by
conducting a reverse share split where five (5) existing shares are combined
into one (1) new share for the purposes laid down in Chapter 15 Section 9 of
the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act and in accordance with the
procedure set out therein. Such procedure has been described in more detail in
the Company's stock exchange release given on 30 October 2013. The new number
of shares of the Company 7,047,825 was entered into the Trade Register. Trading
with the consolidated shares begun on 4 November 2013. 



Ixonos lowered its 2013 revenue guidance on 6 November

Ixonos forecasted its revenue for 2013 to be lower than the earlier guidance.
The company now estimated 2013 revenue to be at around 34 MEUR level, with +/-
1.5 MEUR possible fluctuation. EBITDA for the full year was expected to be
negative. 

Previous guidance for the 2013 turnover was in the range of EUR 35 - 38
million. EBITDA for the full year was expected to be negative. 

The main reason for the changed guidance was changes in the outlook for certain
projects that the company is currently implementing for an existing Asian
operator customer. The company has signed an agreement with the operator
regarding potentially bringing an existing fixed-price project (based on
contract signed in 2012) to a closure under certain new terms and conditions by
the end of 2013. As a consequence, the project revenues were expected to be
lower than earlier estimated, and the company also expects other business with
the same operator to be at a lower level than earlier forecasted. The secondary
reason for the changed guidance was a weakening outlook for the rest of year
2013 in certain other business segments. 

Ixonos' securities note was approved

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority approved on 14 November 2013 Ixonos
Plc's securities note prepared pursuant to the Finnish Securities Market Act in
relation to the Company's rights issue announced on 11 November 2013. The

EVENTS AFTER THE FINANCIAL PERIOD



Ixonos is making its operational structure more efficient by closing its
Denmark office during spring 2014. Solution Creation organization will
centralize its operations to its sites in Finland and Slovakia. 



Ixonos announced on 18 February a new option plan for the years 2014 - 2018.
The aggregate number of stock options is 5,000,000. Each option entitles its
holder to subscribe for one new or treasury share in Ixonos Plc. The stock
options will be offered to the global management team and certain key personnel
of Ixonos Plc and its subsidiaries for the purpose of improving commitment and
motivation. 

RISK MANAGEMENT AND NEAR-FUTURE UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Ixonos Plc's risk management aims to ensure undisturbed continuity and
development of the company's operations, support attainment of the commercial
targets set by the company and promote increasing company value. Details on the
risk management organisation and process as well as on recognised risks are
presented on the company's website at www.ixonos.com. 



Changes in key customer accounts may have adverse effects on Ixonos'
operations, earning power and financial position. Should a major customer
switch its purchases from Ixonos to its competitors or make forceful changes to
its own operating model, Ixonos would have limited ability to acquire, in the
short term, new customer volume to compensate for such changes. 



Part of the company's business operations is based on fixed-price project
deliveries. Fixed-price projects may include risks related to their duration
and content. These risks are being managed by means of contract management as
well as project management. 



The reduction and rationalisation of the company's operations causes one-time
expenses, such as redundancy payments in various countries. This increases the
company's need for short-term financing. The company manages this need by
creating, together with financiers, adequate buffers to ensure sufficient funds
as well as by facilitating the circulation of working capital. 



The company's balance sheet also includes a significant amount of goodwill,
which may still be impaired should internal or external factors reduce the
profit expectations of the company's cash flow. Goodwill is tested during the
final quarter of each year and, if necessary, at other times. 



The company's financial agreements have covenants attached to them. A covenant
breach may increase the company's financial expenses or lead to a call for
swift partial or full repayment of non-equity loans. The main risks related to
covenant breaches are associated with operating profit fluctuation due to the
market situation and with a potential need to increase the company's working
capital through non-equity funding. The company manages these risks by
negotiating with financiers and by maintaining readiness for various financing
methods. 



The company's working capital is not  sufficient to fund the company's
operations over the next twelve months. Although the company considers that it
will be able to cover its need for working capital over the next twelve months
through various means, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to
ensure sufficient working capital under all circumstances. A shortage of
working capital may have a substantial adverse effect on the company's
operations, result and financial position. 



LONG-TERM GOALS AND STRATEGY



In the long term, Ixonos aims to achieve an operating profit of at least 10 per
cent. To reach its long-term goals, Ixonos focuses its strategy on deepening
the company's product, solution and service operations as well as on new
accounts in selected industries. 



In accordance with its strategy, Ixonos continues to strengthen and expand its
customer base by focusing on offering products, solutions and services in
particular for industrial companies, media companies, retailers and brands,
organisation IT and ISVs, and to other customers in Finland as well as
internationally. 



FUTURE PROSPECTS



-          The turnover for the 2014 is expected to be in a range of EUR 26 -
34 million and EBITDA is expected to be positive.

ABBREVIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 January - 31 December 2013


Accounting policies



This financial statement bulletin has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
(Interim Financial Reporting) and the accounting policies for the annual
financial statement of 31 December 2012. The IFRS amendments and
interpretations that entered into force on 1 January 2013 have not affected the
consolidated financial statements. 



Preparing the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Ixonos'
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets
and liabilities on the balance sheet date as well as the amounts of income and
expenses for the financial period. In addition, judgment must be used in
applying the accounting policies. As the estimates and assumptions are based on
views prevailing at the time of releasing the interim report, they involve
risks and uncertainty factors. Actual results may differ from estimates and
assumptions. 



The figures in the income statement and balance sheet are consolidated. The
consolidated balance sheet includes all group companies as well as Ixonos
Management Invest Oy, a company owned by members of Ixonos' management. The
original interim report is in Finnish. The interim report in English is a
translation of the original report. 



As the figures in the report have been rounded, sums of individual figures may
differ from the sums presented. The financial statement bulletin is unaudited. 



Going Concern

This interim report has been made according to the going concern principle
taking into account the planned  financial arrangements, new strategy and
financial estimations made up to the end of year 2014. The estimations take
into consideration probable or foreseeable changes in future expectations in
revenues as well as costs. There have been significant challenges after the
company's most significant client changed its strategy during years 2011-2012.
The profitability has been negative, even though the company has adopted its
operations to meet significantly lower cost level and gained new customers. The
company has further re-scoped its costs and this will continue. The company has
taken and takes also further actions to reduce the level of fixed costs like
site and office related costs. The ongoing cost saving actions will improve the
cost structure and profitability during the Q4 2013 and 2014. The company has
renewed its strategy during the 2013 and selected the customer focus segments
where mobile internet technology is seen to change the earning fundamentals of
Ixonos' target customer segments. The company views, that Ixonos' core
competence has a great growth potential in the selected segments. 



The company views, that it must ensure additional financing in order to be able
to finance its operations and to repay its debts over the next 12 months.
Ixonos takes further actions to strengthen its balance sheet and to assure
sufficient amount of working capital. 



The sufficient level of working capital and ability to continue as going
concern is subject to realization of sufficient equity type financing or loan
financing as well as realization of the company's estimations concerning the
financial performance in 2014. If the above measures do not occur as planned,
this may result a shortage of working capital, premature payback of loans with
covenants and difficulties to continue company's operations during the
following 12 months. 



Deferred tax assets

The company has deferred tax assets MEUR 4.5 of which MEUR 3.9 arises from
Finnish companies from year 2012. According to the current tax regulations in
Finland, Ixonos has time to utilize tax assets up to 2022. The company views
that it is going concern and it has sufficient possibilities with normal
business assumptions to utilize the tax assets in the future. 



The subsidiary in United Kingdom carries MEUR 0.5 deferred tax assets. The
subsidiary was established in October 2011. Ramping up the company, customer
base and its operations causes additional costs compared to the normal
operating mode which is considered to be achieved at the end of 2013. The
subsidiary in UK is part of Ixonos' new, design oriented strategy. The validity
of deferred tax assets in UK has no time limit. Ixonos views that the
subsidiary has probable possibilities to utilize tax assets during the time.

Notes



Goodwill impairment

Ixonos made impairment test for goodwill as at 31 December and 30 September
2013. Impairment test carried out on 31 December showed surplus of EUR 3.6
million in discounted cash flow compared to tested amount. The carrying amount
of goodwill is EUR 10.8 million. In the impairment test carried out in
September, the company recognized an impairment loss of EUR 1.6 million. The
company has shortened the forecasting period used in value in use calculation
from five to four years. This is due to a point of view that the space of
change has increased in the business environment of Ixonos. The company has
initiated a strategy process during the year 2013 to re-evaluate its business
model. In the old business model use in 31 December 2012 there were two cash
generating units, Online Solutions and Connected Devices. The old business
model was based on services provided. In the new business model implemented in
2013 the Company has been reorganised into on cash generating unit. Based on
new strategy the Company has one common Sales & Marketing function and common
production and product development functions. These functions will serve all
chosen customers. The company prepares its budgets and forecasts as one cash
generating unit. 







The impairment test of the Company is based on value in use. The forecasting
period used in impairment testing as at 31 December 2013 included forecasted
years 2014-2017. The impairment test is done by comparing the carrying value of
assets to present value of future cash flow taking into consideration
forecasted cash flows during the forecast period, discount factor and growth
rate used in calculating terminal value.  The discount factor used is 12 per
cent p.a. and growth rate use in calculating terminal value is 1 per cent p.a.
These are the same as use in goodwill impairment testing for year-end 2012. The
impairment test is the most sensitive to growth rate used when calculating the
terminal value and discount factor. If the growth rate had been lowered to 0.0
per cent instead of 1 per cent, the discounted cash flows have shoved surplus
of EUR 2.6 million. If the discount factor had been 15 per cent instead of 12
per cent, it would have resulted in equal value of discounted cash flows and
tested amount. 



 Loan covenants

Loans granted by the company's financiers have covenants attached. Should the
company not be within the limits of a covenant, the financiers are entitled to
call in the loans to which that covenant applies. The covenant levels are
adjusted semi-annually on a rolling twelve-month basis. 



 Depending on the point in time, the equity ratio must be at least 35 per cent.
For some loans, the ratio of interest-bearing liabilities (i.e.
interest-bearing liabilities in the balance sheet, including leasing
liabilities) to operating profit may not exceed 2.5 on 30 June 2013 onward. The
ratios of interest-bearing liabilities to operating profit as well as the ratio
of interest-bearing net liabilities to operating profit are calculated based on
IFRS principles. 



 The amount of those financing loans that included covenants had a capital of
EUR 6.4 million on 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: EUR 7.6 million). On 31
December 2013 the company's equity ratio was 13.2 percent (2012: 22.5 percent)
and the ratio of interest-bearing liabilities and the operating profit was
negative (2012: negative). Thus, the company does not fulfil the covenant terms
on 31 December 2013 and the loans under convent agreements are presented as
short-term current liabilities. However, the company has received releasing
covenant statements from its financiers until 31 December 2014.
