OUTLOOK FOR 2014

The company further estimates that operating profit before non-recurring items
will be lower year-on-year. 

The company estimates that the operating profit will show a clear loss also in
the fourth quarter. 


REPORT OF ARTO HEIMONEN, CEO

The negative development of sales during the first half of the year is
reflected in net sales, which are weaker than in the corresponding period in
the previous year. The decrease in net sales will have a negative impact on the
company's operating profit despite cost savings, and the operating profit is
expected to show a clear loss also in the fourth quarter. The company will
search for alternatives for measures to bring the operating profit to a
sustainable level and to improve the company's financial position. 

The company will continue to search for a solution as regards the company's
office facilities, where the liabilities under the long-term rental agreement
concluded in 2008 are heavy in relation to the company's current business
operations.The identification of a possible solution would also strengthen the
company's financial position and the profitability of operational business. 

The company has continued to invest in the management system Pulssi and
launched mobile applications on key platforms during the third
quarter.Furthermore, the company is searching for entrepreneur partners in the
key cities in Finland to expand its sales network.

LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES

The company's long-term objective is profitable growth.


FINANCING, INVESTMENTS AND SOLVENCY

In connection with the merger of Trainers' House Oy and Satama Interactive Plc,
the company concluded a loan agreement in the amount of EUR 40 million.At the
end of the reporting period, the company had loans related to this loan
agreement negotiated at the end of 2013 in the amount of EUR 2.0 million. 

The company issued a new, low-interest subordinated loan of approximately EUR
1.2 million during 2013 and 2014.The interest rate of the subordinated loan is
3.0% until 31 December 2016.The interest is capitalised at the end of each
year.As of 1 January 2017, a 5.0% cash rate will be payable within the
boundaries of distributable assets.The subordinated loan will mature on
31.12.2018.At the end of the third quarter of the financial year, EUR 1.0
million of the loan had been subscribed. 

Hybrid bond

On 15 January 2010, Trainers' House Plc issued a EUR 5.0 million domestic
hybrid bond.Interest of EUR 1.0 million related to the hybrid bond was
recognised in shareholders' equity. 

According to the terms of the hybrid bond, the company has the right to decide,
subject to certain limitations specified in the terms, either to pay the
interest on the hybrid bond annually or to postpone these payments.Interest in
the amount of EUR 0.5 million has been paid to the subscribers on 21 January
2011 and EUR 0.5 million on 20 January 2012.The interest paid reduces the
non-restricted equity and is not recognised as income. 

In accordance with its stock exchange release dated 17 December 2012, Trainers'
House has decided to defer interest payments on the hybrid loan for the time
being.The purpose of the deferment of interest payments is to strengthen the
company's financial position and to fulfil the terms of the loan
agreement.According to the terms of the hybrid bond, the company must pay the
deferred interest and any interest accrued on it by the latest if, for example,
the company pays dividends in excess of the minimum dividend stipulated in the
Companies Act, or otherwise distributes equity to its shareholders. 

In January 2014, the company made an offer to the bearers of a hybrid bond in
which an opportunity was offered to convert the hybrid bond into a low-interest
loan instrument with secondary priority compared with a senior loan and the key
terms of which were same as a subordinated loan's terms.The company's
financiers, representing a total of approximately EUR 4.1 million of the hybrid
bond's capital, accepted the offer. 

The company has agreed about the possibility to convert a maximum of EUR 2.0
million of the financial instruments' capital into subordinated loans in
accordance with the Companies' Act.At the end of the third quarter, the
conversation had been executed in full. 

Cash flow and financing

Cash flow from operating activities before financial items totalled EUR -0.5
million (EUR 1.0 million), and after financial items EUR -0.6 million (EUR 0.9
million). 

Cash from investments totalled EUR -0.0 million during the period under review
(EUR 0.5 million).Cash flow from financing came to EUR -0.5 million (EUR -1.1
million). 

Total cash flow amounted to EUR -1.1 million (EUR 0.3 million).

On 30 September 2014, the Group's liquid assets totalled EUR 1.6 million (EUR
1.8 million).The equity ratio was 27.2% (56.2%).Net gearing was 136.3%
(21.5%).At the end of the period under review, the company had EUR 7.2 million
of interest-bearing debt (EUR 4.1 million). 

Financial risks

Fulfilment of the company's liabilities under financial agreements requires a
new solution being found as regards lease liabilities and improvement in the
profitability of the company's operational business. 

Interest rate risk is managed by covering some of the risk with hedging
agreements.A bad-debt provision, which is booked on the basis of ageing and
case-specific risk analyses, covers risks to accounts receivable. 


SHORT-TERM BUSINESS RISKS AND FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY

Risks in the company's operating environment have remained unchanged.On account
of the project-based nature of the company's operations, the order life cycle
is short, which makes it more difficult to estimate future developments.Because
of the overall economic situation, long-term trends remain unclear. 

Short-term risks

Risks in the company's operating environment have remained unchanged. On
account of the project-based nature of the company's operations, the order life
cycle is short, which makes it more difficult to estimate future developments.
Long-term visibility remains limited due to the general economic situation. The
company's financial situation is critical and taking care of the company's
liabilities under financial agreements requires improvement in the
profitability of the company's operational business. The company will search
for alternatives for measures to bring the operating profit to a sustainable
level and to improve the company's financial position. 

The write-down has no effect on operating profit or cash flow.After this
write-down, the Group balance sheet has approximately EUR 1.9 million of
goodwill.The goodwill values determined in the impairment testing at the end of
the first quarter were EUR 1.6 million lower than the book value, resulting in
a goodwill write-off in March. 
If the company's profitability should fail to develop as predicted, or if
external factors beyond the company's control, such as interest rates, should
change significantly, there is a risk that some of the Group's goodwill may
have to be written down.Such a write-down would not affect the company's cash
flow. 

At the end of the period under review, Trainers' House Plc's balance sheet
included deferred tax assets from losses carried forward in the amount of EUR
0.4 million.The deferred tax assets will expire during 2019-2023. 

The company's new loan agreement, under which there were loans in the amount of
EUR 2.0 million at the end of the reporting period, includes standard
covenants, including one concerning the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. 

If the company's profitability fails to improve, the covenants will not be
fulfilled. Fulfilment of the company's liabilities under financial agreements
requires a new solution being found as regards lease liabilities and
improvement in the profitability of the company's operational business. 

Risks are discussed in more detail on the company's website at:

PERSONNEL

At the end of September 2014, the Group employed 100 (86) people.
