Unless otherwise stated, all figures presented below are for the review period
1-3/2011 and the figures for comparison are for the corresponding period
1-3/2010. 

President and CEO Kaj Hagros:

”During the first quarter of 2011 revenue fell to EUR 10.6 million compared to
EUR 14.1 million in the same period last year. Middle East and Africa produced
higher revenue compared to 2010 while other regions fell short. The first
quarter typically produces lower revenue compared to subsequent quarters, but
in 2011 the period was a disappointment. This is related to three factors.
Firstly, some maintenance contracts were still being negotiated and were not
yet executed during the period. Secondly, we faced severe hardware delivery
delays from our supplier, causing major project delays under circumstances
beyond our control, hence postponing revenue recognition. Thirdly, the rapid
USD/EUR exchange rate change resulted in a revenue adjustment. By large, these
events however are within quarterly variation and do not call for an update to
the full year prospects. Order intake has developed favorably, and the order
book grew to EUR 22.1 million from EUR 14.3 million at December 31st, 2010.
After the end of the quarter Tecnotree has announced new orders totalling EUR
5.8 million and we confidently expect this positive momentum to continue in
Q2.” 

SALES AND NET SALES

Tecnotree's net sales in the review period were EUR 10.6 (14.1) million and
decreased 25.1 per cent. 

EUR 4.4 million of sales in the review period have been recognised by stage of
completion (IAS 11 Construction Contracts) and EUR 6.2 million on delivery (IAS

Maintenance and service sales totalled EUR 5.9 (6.6) million or 55.9 per cent
(47.1 %) of net sales. 

RESULT ANALYSIS

Tecnotree's business operations are based on project sales. The income and
costs recorded for these vary considerably from one quarter to another. For
this reason it is important to base an examination of the profitability of the
company on the result for more than one quarter. 




INCOME STATEMENT, KEY FIGURES, MEUR  1-3/2011  1-3/2010  1-12/2010

The adjusted operating result was down EUR 4.3 million from the previous year.
This was due in particular to the EUR 3.5 million decline in net sales. 

Capitalisation of research and development costs and amortisation of these had
the net impact of weakening the result by EUR 0.5 million compared to the
corresponding period in the previous year. 

The operating result for the review period includes one-time costs of EUR 1.6
million for settling the law suit brought against the company early in the
year. EUR 0.5 million of these costs have been paid and a provision has been
made for the remaining EUR 1.1 million. The compensation is subject to the
terms and conditions of the agreement. 

Taxes for the period totalled EUR 0.2 (0.3) million, including the following
items:

Earnings per share were EUR -0.11 (-0.04). Equity per share at the end of the
period was EUR 0.83 (EUR 1.07). 

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

Tecnotree's liquid funds totalled EUR 12.8 (31.12.2010: 16.7) million. The
change in cash and cash equivalents for the review period was EUR -3.7 million. 

The balance sheet total on 31 March 2011 stood at EUR 100.6 (120.2) million.
Interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 22.7 (18.9) million. The net debt to
equity ratio (net gearing) was 13.7 per cent (-11.5 %). The balance sheet
structure remained strong and the equity ratio on 31 March 2011 was 61.3 per
cent (66.2 %). 

Tecnotree's gross capital expenditure during the review period, excluding the
capitalisation of development costs, was EUR 0.3 (0.1) million or 2,8 per cent
(0.9 %) of net sales. 

Financial income and expenses (net) during the review period totalled EUR 0.5
(-0.6) million. The change from the comparative period is due mainly to the
positive change in loan interest hedging in the first quarter.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by Tecnotree are the geographical
areas, which are Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA
(Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific). This is because their
results are monitored separately in the company's internal financial reporting.
Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the
Group's management board. 

Net sales and the result for the operating segments are presented based on the
location of customers. The result for the operating segments includes the costs
that can be allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Common costs for
the whole Group as well as taxes and financial items are not allocated. 

GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

Tecnotree Group operates in the following geographical areas: Americas (North,
Central and South America), Europe, MEA (Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia
Pacific). 

Americas (North, Central and South America)

Developments in sales and the order book in Latin America were clearly weaker
than in the corresponding period in the previous year. This had been foreseen,
however, for the figures fell short of business plan targets only because of
unfavourable fluctuations in exchange rates and because a single third party
product delivery was delayed. Several expansion projects are underway in the
region, as well as projects applying the products developed in India. The
number of new expansion and new solution delivery projects by operators in the
region has continued to pick up encouragingly. 

Europe

Net sales in the Europe region fell short of the figure for the previous year,
but exceeded business plan targets. Good progress has been made with delivery
projects and income recognition for them is on schedule. The success rate for
winning system update and expansion contracts with existing customers in Europe
has been high. Capital expenditure by European operators looks to be at roughly
the same level as in the previous year, but competition is tough, especially
for messaging systems, and this can be seen in intense pressure to reduce
prices. 

MEA (Middle East and Africa)

Sales and the order book increased from the previous year in the Middle East
and Africa. Demand for invoicing, customer relations management and managed
services solutions remained strong. The number of new solution delivery
projects by operators is declining slightly, but on the other hand the number
of expansion and upgrade projects is on the increase. Tecnotree's considerable
customer base in the region places it in a strong position to take advantage of
these developments. 

APAC (Asia and Pacific)

Sales in the APAC region fell from the previous year. Business at the start of
the year focused on renewing annual service contracts, and this was successful.
Relatively few new solution delivery projects are underway in the region, so
Tecnotree's operations have concentrated on expansions and upgrades for
existing customers and on winning new customer accounts through sub-system
solutions that are of strategic importance. 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs during the review period totalled EUR 3.4 (3.3)
million, corresponding to 32.3 per cent (23.7 %) of net sales. EUR 0.0 (0.2)
million of development costs were capitalised. At the end of review period,
Tecnotree does not have any open capitalised research and development projects.
Capitalised costs are amortised over 3-5 years from the start of commercial
use. R&D costs of EUR 1.8 (1.5) million were amortised during the review
period. 

PERSONNEL

At the end of March 2011 Tecnotree employed 914 (31.12.2010: 858) persons, of
whom 73 (31.12.2010: 70) worked in Finland and 841 (31.12.2010: 788) elsewhere.
The company employed on average 873 (756) people during the review period.

and commitment scheme for key personnel. 

Altogether 7,680,036 stock options remained on 31 March 2011 of all the

current stock options. The issued stock options had a maximum diluting effect

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

The greatest risks in Tecnotree's operations are related to major customer and
partner relationships, to agreements made with these, and to the correct timing
of product development decisions. 

Tecnotree's largest customers are much bigger businesses than the company
itself and the five largest customers account for more than half of net sales.
The relationship between the company and its major customers is one of
interdependence, which poses a potential risk but also offers significant new
business opportunities. 

Certain commitments are associated with the project and maintenance agreements
made by the company, and unforeseen costs may arise in the future from these
agreements. The company aims to limit these liabilities with limitation of
liability clauses in customer contracts. In addition the company has a current
global liability insurance to cover any liabilities that may materialise in
connection with customer projects. 

Project deliveries result in large accounts receivable. Most of Tecnotree's net
sales come from developing countries and some of these contain political and
economic challenges. There is the risk of a considerable delay in the payment
of invoices in these countries and that Tecnotree will have to record credit
losses. The payment record of customers and the situation concerning trade
receivables are actively monitored and credit rating checks are made on new
customers before confirming an offer. 

The company has receivables totalling EUR 5.8 million from a government owned
customer in the MEA region, for which impairment totalling EUR 0.9 million has
been booked in 2010 and EUR 1.0 million in the review period. 

Changes in exchange rates create risks especially in sales activities. A
significant part of the company's net sales is in US dollars. The company
hedges its currency denominated net position for a maximum period of 12 months,
using currency forward contracts and currency options. Liquid funds are
invested, avoiding credit and liquidity risks, in money-market deposits and
short-term interest funds with a good credit rating. 

Carrying out projects creates risks. They are contained for example in projects
that require new product development, where creating new product features may
prove more difficult than anticipated. Another problem with project sales
arises from variations in net sales and profit during the different quarters of
the year. Forecasting these variations is often difficult. 

Tecnotree operates in a rapidly changing sector. When making R&D decisions
there is the risk that the choice made may not bring the expected returns. 

The acquisition of Tecnotree Convergence Limited opened up many new
opportunities for Tecnotree. Taking advantage of these requires various changes
in sales and R & D activities and in the organisation, and there are risks
relating to the success of these changes. The amount paid for the acquisition
and the resulting goodwill also involve risks. 

Tecnotree's risks and uncertainties in the near future relate to major projects
that are under negotiation and to their timing, to receivables and to changes
in foreign exchange rates. 

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF PERIOD

After the end of the quarter Tecnotree has announced new orders totalling EUR
5.8 million. 

PROSPECTS IN 2011

The company is currently carrying out its strategy based on an expanded product
range. Tecnotree is turning into an advanced supplier of telecommunications
system solutions, operating in a broad sector. The company is anticipating new
growth based on the new range of products and solutions that it announced on 14
February 2011. 

Net sales and the adjusted operating result are expected to be similar to the
2010 figures. Quarterly variations will be considerable. 

The adjusted operating result is the operating result before capitalisation of
development costs, amortization of these and one-time costs.

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE INTERIM REPORT

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the international
financial reporting standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The formulas
for calculating the key figures presented and the accounting principles for the
interim report are the same as the principles published in the 2010 Annual
Report. The new and revised IFRS regulations that came into force on 1 January
2011 have not had a significant impact on the accounting principles and basis
for preparing the interim report. 

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments under IFRS 8 reported by Tecnotree are the geographical
areas, which are Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, MEA
(Middle East and Africa), and APAC (Asia Pacific). This is because their
results are monitored separately in the company's internal financial reporting.
Tecnotree's chief operating decision maker, as referred to in IFRS 8, is the
Group's management board. 

Net sales and the result for the operating segments are presented based on the
location of customers. The result of the operating segments includes costs that
can be allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis, such as sales, customer
service and delivery costs. Product management, product development and
administrative costs, depreciation, taxes and financial items are not
allocated.
