 CEO Repe Harmanen:

“In the third quarter, Solteq's operations continued at the same level as in
the earlier part of this year. 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!”
