PANOSTAJA GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENT BULLETIN



November 1, 2013-October 31, 2014 (12 months)

  -- Net sales increased by 13% and stood at MEUR 154.8 (MEUR 137.0).

  -- EBIT improved and was MEUR 10.2 (MEUR 1.6).

  -- The result for the financial period was MEUR 8.2 (MEUR -5.5).

  -- Operating cash flow improved and was MEUR 11.4 (MEUR 7.8).



Proposal for the distribution of profits:

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that EUR 0.04 per
share in capital repayment be paid for the financial period that has ended. 

At its meeting on December 11, 2014, Panostaja Oyj's Board of Directors
specified the policy on the distribution of profits - the newly specified
policy is as follows: Distribution of profits reflects the development of the
Group's result in the long term, and the primary aim is to ensure the
continuity of the Group's investment activity, after which it will be possible
to distribute at least half of the annual consolidated profit targeted at the
parent company shareholders, either as dividends, capital repayments or the
repurchase of shares. 

Outlook for the 2015 financial period:

The Group's net sales and EBIT in the 2015 financial period are expected to be
at the same level as in the 2014 financial period (net sales MEUR 154.8 and
EBIT MEUR 10.2). 

CEO Juha Sarsama: Good development in a difficult market situation

Our overall growth development and profit development in the financial period
were good. Our net sales increased by 13%, and our EBIT improved by MEUR 8.6. 

We actively developed our ownerships: We expanded into the consumer business
and founded within the Group a new segments specializing in building technology
renovation for houses. KotiSun has a well-developed service model, and the
company has grown fast into the leading company in its field in Finland. We
sold value-added logistics expert Vindea, for which we recorded a sales profit
of MEUR 5.5. Panostaja owned Vindea from 2003, and under Panostaja's ownership
Vindea achieved a strong market position, increased its know-how and number of
customers, obtained new resources, and expanded with new openings. The
reorganization proceedings of Takoma Oyj and Takoma Gears Oy ended, and the
reorganization program was confirmed, which gives an opportunity to develop the
operations of Takoma Gears Oy. Takoma proceeded more quickly than planned. Net
sales from Takoma's continuing operations grew, and the EBIT from continuing
operations decreased. 

The Finnish economic situation continues to be uncertain. The effects of the
Ukraine crisis and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia have increased
uncertainty in the economic development of Europe. The general economic
situation and atmosphere has remained challenging, which is especially
reflected in the construction- and export industry-related segments. 

On the corporate acquisitions market, activity has increased and this will
offer Panostaja opportunities both for new acquisitions and later, as economic
forecastability improves, for divestments. The position of Panostaja's business
segments in their fields of operation has improved and is expected to continue
to do so. 



August 1, 2014-October 31, 2014 (Q4)

  -- Net sales increased by 14% and stood at MEUR 44.1 (MEUR 38.7). The impact
     of corporate acquisitions on the MEUR 5.4 increase of net sales stood at
     MEUR 5.6. Net sales increased in three of the eight segments.

  -- EBIT improved and was MEUR 4.4 (MEUR 1.8). Growth of MEUR 2.6 in EBIT is
     attributable to the acquisition of the Building Technology Renovation
     segment and good profit development in the Digital Printing Services,
     Takoma and Heat Treatment segments. Five of the eight segments achieved
     better EBIT than in the reference period.

  -- Profit before taxes was MEUR 3.5 (MEUR 1.0)

  -- The result for the review period was MEUR 2.4 (MEUR -1.0).

  -- Earnings per share (undiluted) were 1.6 cents (-1.0 cents).

  -- Operating cash flow improved and was MEUR 6.2 (MEUR 3.1).

  -- The reorganization proceedings of Takoma Oyj and Takoma Gears Oy ended and
     the reorganization program was confirmed.



November 1, 2013-October 31, 2014 (12 months)

  -- Net sales for the review period increased by 13% and were MEUR 154.8 (MEUR
     137.0). The MEUR 17.8 growth in net sales was a result of organic growth
     and the impact of corporate acquisitions carried out in the previous and
     current financial period, the impact of which totaled MEUR 12.9. Net sales
     increased in five of the eight segments.

  -- EBIT improved and was MEUR 10.2 (MEUR 1.6). Growth was MEUR 8.6. EBIT
     particularly benefited from an improvement in profit in the Takoma,
     Fittings and Heat Treatment segments. The reference period includes Takoma
     segment's goodwill write-down amounting to MEUR 2.3. Five segments exceeded
     the level of EBIT in the reference period.

The income statement for operations discontinued during the reference period
has been separated from the income statement for continuing operations and the
result for them is presented in accordance with the IFRS standards on row
‘Earnings from discontinued operations'. 

Panostaja Group's business operations for the period under review are reported
in nine segments: Digital Printing Services, Safety, Takoma, Ceiling Materials,
Fittings, Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles, Building Technology Renovation, Heat
Treatment and Other (parent company and associated companies). 



Segment comments, November 2013-October 2014

The net sales of the Digital Printing Services segment grew 14%, from MEUR 50.8
to MEUR 57.8. A significant proportion of growth is attributable to the
acquisition of the DMP companies in December 2012 and the Eriksen printing
business in February 2014. The segment's EBIT improved from MEUR 6.4 to MEUR
7.1. Consumption of print paper and CAD paper has continued to fall. Owing to
the poor general economic situation, price competition has also intensified and
is exerting pressure on profitability. On the other hand, in a weak market
situation customers seek efficiency in their operations, which creates new
opportunities In spite of tightening competition, however, the segment was able
to maintain good development of net sales and EBIT. At the end of the financial
period, the segment employed 497 (451) staff. 

The growth of the net sales of the Safety segment was 6%. Net sales grew from
MEUR 31.8 to MEUR 33.7. EBIT improved from MEUR 1.6 to MEUR 2.1. The market
situation in the sector is difficult, and customers are cautious in their
investment decisions. In spite of all this, the development of net sales has
been positive. In the review period, the new-generation Flexim Safea solution
was launched, as well as solutions conceptualized around it, and it has been
positively received by customers. Flexim Safea has also interested completely
new target groups, which have not previously been Flexim users. At the end of
the financial period, the segment employed 249 (205) staff. 

The reorganization proceedings of Takoma Oyj and Takoma Gears Oy began on
January 17, 2014, and the reorganization program was confirmed at Pirkanmaa
District Court on September 30, 2014. The repayment schedule of the
reorganization debts was prolonged and the debt structure was lightened in the
reorganization program. The confirmation of the reorganization program provides
an opportunity to develop the operations of Takoma Gears Oy. In the period
under review, Tampereen Laatukoneistus Oy, Hervannan Koneistus Oy and Takoma
Systems Oy filed for bankruptcy. As a result of the bankruptcy, the companies
in question have been treated as discontinued operations in Panostaja's
consolidated financial statements. 

Net sales of Takoma's continuing operations improved from MEUR 14.1 to MEUR
15.3. The loss for the segment's continuing operations was reduced from MEUR
-4.1 to MEUR -0.4. The loss for the reference period includes MEUR 2.3 in
goodwill write-down. During the reorganization proceedings, the cost structure
of Takoma has been adjusted to meet the demand situation. At the same time, the
orders received and order book have developed favorably. The figures for
discontinued operations are presented in ‘discontinued operations', and they
incurred a combined loss of MEUR 0.8 in the period under review. At the end of
the financial period, the segment employed 92 (163) staff. 

In the financial period, net sales in the Ceiling Materials segment decreased
from MEUR 12.8 to MEUR 11.0 owing to the difficult market situation in
construction. EBIT weakened from MEUR 0.9 to MEUR 0.5. Economic conditions in
construction are poor and competition for projects is fierce, which is also
directly reflected in customer demand. The unfavorable development of net sales
has been softened by cost adaptation. Despite the difficult situation in
construction, the development of the segment has remained on a reasonable
level. At the end of the financial period, the segment employed 13 (15) staff. 

Net sales in the Fittings segment declined from MEUR 11.9 to MEUR 10.9. The
segment's market situation is difficult, and bankruptcies, corporate
reorganizations and liquidity problems among customer companies have increased.
EBIT for the review period, however, improved from MEUR -0.2 to MEUR 0.8, which
can be attributed to costs arising from restructuring in the reference period,
as well as to companies adapting their operations and significant operational
streamlining. At the end of the financial period, the segment employed 33 (37)
staff. 

Net sales in the Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles segment grew 5% from last
year's MEUR 10.3 to MEUR 10.8. EBIT dropped slightly from last year's MEUR 0.8
to MEUR 0.7. Since the weakening that took place in late winter, however, the
market situation has remained steady. Customer demand is on as low a level as
in normal economic conditions, which has cut growth for KL-varaosat.  During
the financial period, the company has actively implemented measures necessary
to develop business in line with the company's strategy. At the end of the
financial period, the segment employed 47 (39) staff. 

The Building Technology Renovation segment was created when Panostaja acquired
a 60% share in KotiSun Oy in May 2014. The company offers consumers
conceptualized service water and heating network renovations as a turnkey
service. KotiSun has grown rapidly into the largest and best-known company in
its sector in Finland. Building Technology Renovation is a new segment, so
there is no comparative data on it. The segment's net sales totaled MEUR 8.8
and EBIT MEUR 1.1 (May 1, 2014−October 31, 2014). The figures of the segment
have been consolidated into Panostaja Group as of May 1, 2014. At the end of
the financial period, the segment employed 113 staff. 

Net sales of the Heat Treatment segment improved 19% in the review period, from
MEUR 5.7 to MEUR 6.8. EBIT improved from MEUR -1.5 to MEUR 0.2. The result of
the reference period is burdened by an amortization entry of MEUR 0.9 in
product development projects. The improvement in net sales and EBIT was
attributable to improved customer demand, both in the furnace business and at
energy-sector sites. At the end of the financial period, the segment employed
59 (62) staff. 

There were no significant changes in the net sales of the Other segment. In the
review period, two associated companies, Ecosir Group Oy and Spectra Yhtiöt Oy,
issued reports to the parent company. The profit/loss of the reported
associated companies in the review period was MEUR -0,1 (MEUR -0,1), which is
presented on a separate row in the consolidated income statement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The number of personnel employed by Panostaja fell compared with one year
earlier, mainly as a result of the sale of the Value-added Logistics segment.
The discontinued operations of Takoma also contributed to the reduction in
personnel. On the other hand, during the review period the new Building
Technology Renovation segment was established At the end of the review period,
Panostaja Group employed a total of 1,112 persons, while the average number of
personnel during the period was 1,204. During the review period, Panostaja
continued to develop its personnel in line with its strategy.

Jukka Ala-Mello, Mikko Koskenkorva, Eero Eriksson, Antero Virtanen and Jukka
Terhonen were re-elected to Panostaja Oyj's Board of Directors. Hannu Tarkkonen
was elected as new member of the Board. In the Board's organizing meeting held

the Board and Eero Eriksson as Vice Chairman. Authorized Public Accountant
Markku Launis and Authorized Public Accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy were
selected as general chartered accountants, with Authorized Public Accountant
Janne Rajalahti as the responsible public accountant. 

The annual general meeting confirmed the financial statements presented and the
consolidated financial statements for the financial period November 1,
2012-October 31, 2013 and decided that no dividend or capital repayment be
distributed. 

In addition, the Annual Meeting authorized the Board to decide, at its
discretion, on the potential distribution of assets to shareholders, the
company's financial status permitting, as distribution of assets from the
invested unrestricted equity fund. The maximum distribution of assets performed
on the basis of this authorization totals EUR 5,200,000. The authorization
includes the right of the Board to decide on all other terms and conditions
relating to the said asset distribution. The authorization will remain valid
until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. 

In addition, the Annual General Meeting granted exemption from liability to the
members of the Board and to the CEO. It was decided at the General Meeting that
the Chairman of the Board be paid EUR 40,000 as an annual fee for the term that
begins at the end of the Meeting and ends at the end of the 2015 Annual General
Meeting, and that the other members of the Board be paid an annual fee of EUR
20,000. It was further resolved at the General Meeting that approximately 40%
of the compensation remitted to the members of the Board be paid on the basis
of the share issue authorization given to the Board, by issuing company shares
to each Board member if the Board member does not own more than one percent of
the company's shares on the date of the General Meeting. If the holding of a
Board member on the date of the General Meeting is over one percent of all
company shares, the compensation will be paid in full in monetary form. 

The Annual General Meeting also authorized the Board of Directors to decide on
the acquisition of the company's own shares, so that the shares will be
acquired in one or more installments and, based on this authorization, a
maximum of 5,100,000 shares can be acquired, which corresponds to about 9.86%
of all the company's shares. By virtue of the authorization, the company's own
shares may be obtained using unrestricted equity only. 

The company's own shares may be acquired at the date-of-acquisition price in
public trade arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy or otherwise at the prevailing
market price. The Board of Directors will decide how the company's own shares
are to be acquired. The company's own shares may be acquired not following the
proportion of ownership of the shareholders (directed acquisition). The
authorization remains valid until July 29, 2015. 

The Board of Directors has not used the authorization granted by the Annual
Meeting to acquire the company's own shares during the review period. 



SHARE CAPITAL AND THE COMPANY'S OWN SHARES

At the close of the review period, Panostaja Oyj's share capital was EUR
5,568,681.60. The total number of shares is 51,733,110. 

The total number of shares held by the company at the end of the review period
was 429,058 individual shares (at the beginning of financial period: 490,956).
The number of the company's own shares corresponded to 0.8% of the number of
shares and votes at the end of the entire review period. 

In accordance with the decisions by the General Meeting on January 29, 2013 and
by the Board, Panostaja Oyj relinquished a total of 16,439 individual shares as
meeting compensation to the members of the Board on December 16, 2013, a total
of 16,000 shares on March 11, 2014 and a total of 14,459 shares on June 5,
2014, and a total of 15,000 shares on September 4, 2014. 



EQUITY CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED LOAN AND HYBRID LOAN

At the end of the review period, EUR 15,000,000 of the 2011 convertible
subordinated loan remained. The interest on the loan is 6.5% and the loan
period February 7, 2011-April 1, 2016. The original share exchange rate is EUR
2.20, and the loan shares may be exchanged for no more than 6,818,181 company
shares. The total number of loan shares is 300, and they are available for
public trade on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki stock exchange. The share exchange rate
will be entered into the company's invested unrestricted equity fund. 

On May 27, 2013, the Group issued an equity convertible subordinated loan to
the value of MEUR 7.5. The equity convertible subordinated loan has not
maturity date, but the Group is entitled, but not obliged, to redeem the loan
within four years. Based on the contract, the annual interest is 9.75%.
Interest is only paid if the company decides to distribute dividends. If
dividends are not distributed, the Group will decide separately on the payment
of interest. In the consolidated financial statements, the loan is classified
as equity and interest is presented as dividend. The Board of Directors of
Panostaja Oyj decided to pay the hybrid loan interest amounting to MEUR 0.7,
which was paid on May 27, 2014. 



BOARD PROPOSAL ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General meeting that shareholders
be paid EUR 0.04 per share as repayment of capital from the invested
unrestricted equity fund. 

The Board also proposes that the General Meeting authorize the Board of
Directors to decide, at its discretion, on the potential distribution of assets
to shareholders, should the company's financial status permit this, either as
dividends or as repayment of capital from the invested unrestricted equity
fund. The maximum distribution of assets performed on the basis of this
authorization totals no more than EUR 4.700.000. 

It is proposed that the authorization include the right of the Board to decide
on all other terms and conditions relating to the said asset distribution. It
is also proposed that the authorization remain valid until the start of the
next Annual General Meeting. 

Panostaja Oyj's Annual General Meeting will be held on February 5, 2015 in
Tampere. 


EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

There are no major events to report.


MARKET PROSPECTS

The general economic situation and atmosphere has remained uncertain owing to
the situations in Russia and Ukraine. The demand for companies operating on the
domestic market is low and domestic consumer demand is not expected to recover
in the near future. The position of Panostaja's business segments in their
fields of operation has improved and is expected to continue to do so. Although
the financial situation of companies in the SME sector is generally tightening
due to increasing regulation, finance is, however, available for good projects.
The protraction of the crises in Russia and Ukraine and the structural
challenges of the Finnish economy are a significant risk to general economic
development in 2015. Activity in the corporate acquisitions market has
increased and continues to offer opportunities both for new acquisitions and
for divestments when forecastability in the economy later improves. 


MOST SIGNIFICANT NEAR-FUTURE BUSINESS RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is part of the Panostaja Group's management and monitoring
systems Panostaja aims to identify and monitor changes in the business
environment and general market situation of its segments, to react to them and
to utilize the business opportunities that they present. Risk is classified as
factors that may endanger or impede Panostaja or the business segments owned by
it from achieving strategic objectives, improvement in profit and the financial
position or business continuity, or that may otherwise cause significant
consequences for Panostaja, its owners, segments, personnel or other
stakeholder groups. A more detailed report on Panostaja's risk management
policy and the most significant risks will be  published later in the 2014
annual report. Financial risks are discussed in greater detail in the Notes to
the 2014 Financial Statements. 

Market risks, general: General market risks are mainly tied to the uncertainty
resulting from Finland's economic situation and change caused by the crises in
Russia and Ukraine, as well as their potential impact on achieving the goals
set for the various segments.  The change in the financial markets and the
tightening on credit issue may hamper the realization of corporate acquisitions
and the availability of finance for working capital. 

Panostaja has prepared for a weak financial market situation in the SME sector
and for a continued quiet period in the corporate acquisitions market by taking
out a MEUR 7.5 hybrid loan in May 2013. This hybrid loan will enable Panostaja
to make, in line with the company's strategy and investment criteria, new
complementary acquisitions and to give more temporal room for maneuver for
possible divestments. 

Market risks, operating fields of the segments: The instability of the overall
economic situation has led to a decline in customer demand as well as the
postponement of investments, which may result in a need for consolidated
goodwill write-downs. Economic prospects in the fields of the existing segments
are strongly tied to the prospects of customer enterprises. Expectations for
the financial situation are still characterized by uncertainty and poor
forecastability. In the various segments of Panostaja Group, the prospects
still vary from cautiously positive to neutral. Panostaja regularly assesses
the risks for each segment and, based on the updated risk assessment, takes the
necessary remedial action. 

Strategic risks: Panostaja represents the Finnish SME sector extensively. Net
sales are divided into five different sectors whose cyclical nature varies. The
Group's business structure partially evens out economic fluctuations. In spite
of this, general and sector-specific market risks can, however, affect the
Group's result and financial development. In the business segments, the
expected market situation is taken into account by adapting production and
costs to market demand and by safeguarding the financial position. In changes
in the global economy, Panostaja also sees opportunities to improve its market
position, for example through corporate acquisitions. The crises in Russia and
Ukraine do not have direct effects on Panostaja Group, but their protraction is
negatively affecting demand on the domestic Finnish market and thereby the
development of Panostaja's profit and financial position. 

Financial risks: As a consequence of its operations, the Group is exposed to
many financial risks. The aim of risk management is to limit the adverse
effects of changes in financial markets on the result and financial development
of the Group. The Group's revenue and operative cash flows are mainly
independent of fluctuations in market interest rates. The interest risk of the
Group mainly constitutes borrowing, which is spread over variable and
fixed-interest loans. Some of the business segments use interest rate swaps and
interest rate ceiling agreements. The Group mainly operates in the eurozone and
so is only exposed to foreign exchange risks resulting from changes in exchange
rates to a slight degree. Credit loss risks continue to represent a significant
uncertainty factor in some of the segments. This risk is increased by the
tightness of credit issue to SMEs. 

Corporate acquisitions: Panostaja actively seeks SMEs and endeavors to increase
and create value, through organic growth, corporate acquisitions and
correctly-timed divestments. The market still provides sufficient opportunities
for corporate acquisitions, and Panostaja Group aims to implement its growth
strategy by means of controlled acquisitions in current segments, but new
potential segments are also being actively studied. Preparation for divestments
is being continued as part of the ownership strategies of segments. Risks
related to corporate acquisitions are managed by investing carefully according
to specific investment criteria, as well as through efficient integration
processes. Panostaja Group has specified harmonized guidelines and a corporate
acquisitions process for the preparation and implementation of corporate
acquisitions. 

Non-life risks: Non-life risks are managed in Panostaja Group through insurance
and Group guidelines, which set policy for the different areas. 

Operative risks: During the 2014 financial period, the management of operative
risks has particularly focused on business concerning Takoma. On January 17,
2014, business restructuring proceedings began at Takoma Oyj and Takoma Gears
Oy. In the period under review, Tampereen Laatukoneistus Oy, Hervannan
Koneistus Oy and Takoma Systems Oy filed for bankruptcy. As a result of the
bankruptcy, the companies in question have been treated as discontinued
operations in Panostaja's consolidated financial statements. Takoma's financial
statements have been prepared on the assumption that business will continue. On
June 5, 2014, Takoma Oyj and Takoma Gears Oy submitted their proposals for
corporate restructuring programs to Pirkanmaa District Court. Pirkanmaa
District Court confirmed the reorganization programs on September 30, 2014. The
repayment schedule of the reorganization debts was prolonged and the debt
structure was lightened in the reorganization program. The confirmation of the
reorganization program provides an opportunity to develop the operations of
Takoma Gears Oy. 

Changes concerning Takoma may also in future cause needs for one-time
write-downs. Takoma's failure to implement the reorganization program is not
expected to cause changes to Panostaja Group's operating conditions. 



OUTLOOK FOR THE 2015 FINANCIAL PERIOD

In accordance with its business strategy, Panostaja Group focuses on increasing
shareholder value in the segments owned by the Group. The development of
shareholder value will be constantly monitored as part of a changing operating
environment, and decisions on the development or divestment of business areas
will be made in order to maximize the shareholder value. 

Active development of shareholder value, the effective allocation of capital
and finance opportunities create a solid foundation for operational expansion.
The need to exploit ownership arrangements and growth opportunities in SMEs
enables both expansion into new segments and growth in existing ones. 

Economic prospects in the fields of the existing segments are strongly tied to
the prospects of customer enterprises. Expectations for the financial situation
are still characterized by uncertainty and poor forecastability. In the various
segments of Panostaja Group, the prospects still vary from cautiously positive
to neutral. The challenges in forecastability or weakening prospects may create
a need for consolidated goodwill write-downs. The prospects for new
construction remain poor. 

The market still provides sufficient opportunities for corporate acquisitions,
and Panostaja Group aims to implement its growth strategy by means of
controlled corporate acquisitions in current segments,but new potential
segments are also being actively studied. Preparation for divestments is being
continued as part of the ownership strategies of segments. 

The confirmation of Takoma's reorganization program at Pirkanmaa District Court
on September 30, 2014, the extension of the repayment schedule for
reorganization debts related to the confirmation and the lightening of the debt
structure give the opportunity to develop the operations of Takoma Gears Oy in
the 2015 financial period. Takoma's failure to implement the reorganization
program is not expected to cause changes to Panostaja Group's operating
conditions. 

The Group's net sales and EBIT in the 2015 financial period are expected to be
at the same level as in the 2014 financial period (net sales MEUR 154.8 and
EBIT MEUR 10.2).
