We did not encounter any significant unexpected developments; the implementation of the strategy, operative activities and the integration process following last spring's corporate acquisition proceeded as planned. We continued making improvements, and the results show that our decisions and solutions have been right. With the integration, we have been able to maintain our predictable profitability. Most of the integration work after the corporate acquisition published on 20 March has been done during the third quarter. A few minor measures still need to be implemented during the last quarter, but we are ahead of the original schedule and have every reason to be satisfied with the situation. During the review period, a special focus in the integration process has been on communicating the solutions, further development paths, and measures related to client communications, all of which have been implemented according to the plans. The client feedback has continued to be encouraging, and this has supported us greatly in our everyday work. Most of our units have continued increasing their turnover in the same manner as in the first two quarters. Our turnover grew on the previous year and we were successful in the projects that affected our profitability. We will continue these projects during the fourth quarter in order to prepare for and control our operations in the years to come. Demand has continued at the same level as in the first half of the year. The turbulence of the European and the global economy creates uncertainty and weakens the outlook and predictability for 2013. Even if we do not see sudden changes that would threaten our operations, we will take such measures that will help us adjust to any changes fast and in a flexible way. As part of these measures, we will also implement projects that aim at growth in areas where we see future growth opportunities. We believe that this balanced strategy prepares us best for the challenges of the unknown future. During the last quarter and further on, we will continue to monitor our financial situation carefully. We intend to ensure the continuity of our operations while giving space to growth projects. As to the cash flow from operations, we are at the normal operative level. Based on our earlier estimates, we expect actual benefits of the mergers to materialize in 2013. The integration process will be completed by the end of this year. During the last quarter, we will continue implementing our strategy and ensuring continuity for our clients in terms of both the solutions and our own performance. We will look for ways to continue improving our predictable profitability in different manners. We maintain our previous forecasts concerning turnover, growth and operating profit for 2012. In October, we celebrate our 30th anniversary - proud of our history - and of our future. In this spirit, I wish you all the very best for the rest of our jubilee year!” BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Solteq is a leading retail and service industry software service company.
