The amounts in this report have been rounded from exact numbers. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DURING 10-12/2011 Affecto's net sales in 10-12/2011 were 36.6 MEUR (10-12/2010: 36.0 MEUR). Net sales in Finland were 14.8 MEUR (13.2 MEUR), in Norway 7.3 MEUR (8.1 MEUR), in Sweden 6.7 MEUR (4.8 MEUR), in Denmark 3.8 MEUR (6.7 MEUR) and 4.8 MEUR (3.9 MEUR) in Baltic. Performance in the fourth quarter was good. Net sales grew by 2% and the low growth was due to a couple of exceptionally large license deals in Denmark and Norway in the same period last year. Sales of Affecto's own work increased clearly. Sweden had the highest growth rate (39%). Affecto's order backlog reached a new all-time-high level 57.1 MEUR, which is 5% higher than in Q4/2010 (54.4 MEUR). The increased uncertainty about the general economic developments has not much affected our daily work and the demand for our solutions has continued to be good.

PROFIT Affecto's operating profit in 10-12/2011 was 2.8 MEUR (2.4 MEUR) and the operational segment result was 3.3 MEUR (2.9 MEUR). Operational segment result was in Finland 2.3 MEUR (1.8 MEUR), in Norway 1.0 MEUR (1.1 MEUR), in Sweden -0.7 MEUR (-0.6 MEUR), in Denmark 0.7 MEUR (0.6 MEUR) and in Baltic 0.5 MEUR (0.4 MEUR). Compared to last year, profit increased clearly in Denmark and Finland and remained approximately at the same level in Norway and Baltic. Also in Sweden the operational profitability of the business improved during the quarter, but as the personnel cost calculation methods were changed during the quarter due to a changed interpretation of certain legislative rules, the last quarter's result includes approx. 0.5 MEUR of extra cost related already to the previous quarters. Without the change, the result in Sweden would have been approx. -0.1 MEUR.

The interest rate changes have caused 0.3 MEUR income in 2011 (0.2 MEUR in Q1, 0.0 MEUR in Q2, 0.0 MEUR in Q3, 0.1 MEUR in Q4). Taxes corresponding to the profit of the period have been entered as tax expense. Net profit for the period was 2.0 MEUR, while it was 1.3 MEUR last year. YEAR 2011 Affecto is the forerunner in the field of Enterprise Information Management and the leading Business Intelligence (BI) solution provider in the Nordic countries. We help our customers to improve productivity and competitiveness by superior use of information for decision making. We also deliver operational solutions for improving and simplifying processes at customer organizations and offer geographic information services. Affecto's head office is in Finland and we have subsidiaries in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. NET SALES Affecto's net sales in year 2011 were 127.3 MEUR (Year 2010: 114.1 MEUR). Net sales in Finland were 50.3 MEUR (46.5 MEUR), in Norway 27.8 MEUR (25.8 MEUR), in Sweden 21.5 MEUR (15.3 MEUR), in Denmark 14.1 MEUR (15.4 MEUR) and 16.2 MEUR (13.7 MEUR) in Baltic. Net sales grew by 12%, and in our main business area, EIM solutions, we outpaced the market growth in all Nordic countries. Growth was over 40% in Sweden, where we invested in organic growth. Growth in Baltic was 18%, and the market improved there during the early part of the year, but cautiousness increased in the latter half of the year. In Finland the growth was mainly in the BI business. In Denmark there was significant growth in net sales from own project work, but total net sales decreased due to the smaller amount of third-party licenses sold. The business developed steadily in the Nordic countries, and the Nordic BI market remained strong during the year. The growth in general economic uncertainty during the autumn months did not affect our business to any large extent. The customer's interest for Affecto's solutions remained good. Net sales of Information Management Solutions business were 116.8 MEUR (103.6 MEUR) and net sales of Geographic Information Services were 11.5 MEUR (11.0 MEUR). The order backlog was 57.1 MEUR, which is 5% higher than the Q4/2010 order backlog (54.4 MEUR). Affecto has a well-diversified customer base. The ten largest customers generated approx. 20% of the group's net sales in 2011 and the largest customer accounted for 3% of net sales. PROFIT Affecto's operating profit was 8.2 MEUR (3.3 MEUR) and the operational segment result was 10.2 MEUR (5.3 MEUR). Operational segment result was in Finland 6.8 MEUR (5.1 MEUR), in Norway 3.1 MEUR (2.4 MEUR), in Sweden -2.1 MEUR (-1.7 MEUR), in Denmark 1.6 MEUR (1.2 MEUR) and in Baltic 2.1 MEUR (0.6 MEUR). Profitability improved in all countries during the year. Baltic had the largest improvement in profitability (from 4 to 13%) and in Finland the profit increased the most in euro terms (from 5.1 to 6.8 MEUR). Denmark and Norway had their best annual results ever. In all of these countries, the profit improvement came from increased operational efficiency of the business operations, and no significant non-recurring items were included. Sweden remained loss-making due to the ongoing development actions, as the local organization and processes have been developed in search of strong growth. The number of employees in Sweden grew organically by approx. 40% during the year. However, Sweden did not reach its profitability goals, although operational profitability improved toward the year-end. According to the IFRS3 requirements, operating profit includes 2.0 MEUR (2.0 MEUR) of amortization on intangible assets related to acquisitions. The IFRS3 amortization is estimated to be approx. 2.0 MEUR per year until 2014, as the other intangible assets impacting in the IFRS3 amortization totaled 5.8 MEUR at the end of the reporting period. R&D costs totaled 0.7 MEUR (1.2 MEUR), i.e. 0.6% of net sales (1.0%). These costs have been recognized as an expense in the income statement. Taxes corresponding to the profit of the period have been entered as tax expense. Net profit for the period was 5.3 MEUR, while it was 0.9 MEUR last year. FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS At the end of the reporting period, Affecto's balance sheet totaled 145.1 MEUR (142.9 MEUR). Equity ratio was 46.1% (43.1%) and net gearing was 27.1% (40.4%). The financial loans were 34.5 MEUR (36.5 MEUR) at the end of reporting period. The company's cash and liquid assets were 18.0 MEUR (13.8 MEUR). The interest-bearing net debt was 16.4 MEUR (22.6 MEUR). Affecto has renegotiated the bank loan in June 2011 and the loan agreement is valid until June 2016. The covenants are based on total net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and total net debt to total equity. The covenants will be measured quarterly, and these terms and conditions of the covenants were met at the end of the reporting period. Cash flow from operating activities for the reported period was 9.7 MEUR (1.5 MEUR) and cash flow from investing activities was -2.1 MEUR (-1.0 MEUR). Investments in non-current assets were 1.4 MEUR (1.1 MEUR). Based on the decision by the Annual General Meeting held on 31 March 2011, Affecto has distributed dividends of 1.3 MEUR (previous year 1.3 MEUR). EMPLOYEES The number of employees was 1061 persons at the end of the reporting period (947). 407 employees were based in Finland, 134 in Norway, 151 in Sweden, 75 in Denmark and 294 in the Baltic countries. The average number of employees during the period was 1011 (919 in 2010, 974 in 2009). Wages and salaries were 57.4 MEUR (52.6 MEUR in 2010, 48.6 MEUR in 2009). Stig-Göran Sandberg was appointed as Country Manager for Finland in June. He also continues as the Area Manager for Baltic. HR director Hilkka Remes-Hyvärinen retired in September. Affecto invests in employee development through various initiatives like the training concept "Affecto University". Affecto's image as a workplace is annually evaluated in the Great Place to Work survey, where Affecto ranked among the country best workplaces in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. BUSINESS REVIEW BY AREAS The group's business is managed through five country units. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Baltic are also the reportable segments. Finland Net sales in Finland were 50.3 MEUR (46.5 MEUR). Operational segment result was 6.8 MEUR (5.1 MEUR). The business developed rather steadily, and the profitability remained at a good level the whole year. Net sales grew by 8%, mostly in BI business area. Customers' activity has remained good, especially regarding BI solutions, and the effects of the increased economic uncertainty did not have material impact. The Karttakeskus GIS business, reported as a part of Finland, developed well. Its net sales grew to 11.5 MEUR (11.0 MEUR) and the unit's profitability was good. Several large customer agreements were signed during the year: the Digiroad outsourcing agreement with the Finnish Transport Agency for the next three years, the GIS outsourcing agreement with the Finnish Agency for Rural Affairs for a year and the GIS system development project with Metsähallitus. Norway Net sales in Norway were 27.8 MEUR (25.8 MEUR) and operational segment result was 3.1 MEUR (2.4 MEUR). Net sales grew by 8% and profitability improved as the efficiency of business operations improved. The operational segment result was the best in the company's history. During the latter part of the year, several significant customer agreements were signed e.g. with Norway Post, Santander and Finanstilsynet. Sweden Net sales in Sweden were 21.5 MEUR (15.3 MEUR) and operational segment result -2.1 MEUR (-1.7 MEUR). Net sales grew organically by 41% and correspondingly the number of employees has grown by approx. 40% during the year. The forward-looking building of the local organization, targeting a significant growth in net sales in 2011, has clearly lowered profitability. The operational profitability of the business improved during the year, but a positive result was not yet reached during the year. The personnel cost calculation methods were changed during the last quarter due to a changed interpretation of certain legislative rules, which weakened the annual result by approx. 0.5 MEUR compared to previous years. The increased order backlog and delivery capacity provide a good basis for improving profitability. Denmark Net sales in Denmark were 14.1 MEUR (15.4 MEUR) and operational segment result was 1.6 MEUR (1.2 MEUR). The result was the best in the company's history and one reason was a clear growth in the sales of own work. Net sales decreased due to a decrease in the third-party license sales. Baltic (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, South Africa) Net sales in Baltic were 16.2 MEUR (13.7 MEUR). Operational segment result was 2.1 MEUR (0.6 MEUR). Net sales grew by 18% and profitability improved clearly. The national economies in the Baltic countries have already returned to growth path, but the local IT markets have not yet fully recovered from the effects of the financial crisis and the customers' cautiousness increased again in the last months of the year. The price competition continues to be tight, and the EU continues to have great importance in financing both public and also private investments. The demand for BI solutions has grown somewhat. New projects were received during the period mostly from public sector entities, e.g. from SODRA. REVIEW OF MARKET DEVELOPMENTS The demand for Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solutions, including Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM), is estimated to continue growing more rapidly than the general IT services. The average annual global growth of BI and analytics software license markets is estimated to be approx. 8% in the next few years. The Nordic EIM services markets are estimated to grow annually by 6-8%. The scope of EIM solutions continues to evolve, and the new offerings like Master Data Management (MDM), Data Quality and collaborative BI will increase their role in the solution offering. The growth in uncertainty during the last months of 2011 hasn't so far materially impacted Affecto's business, but should the uncertainty continue, it may negatively impact customers' investment decisions either by slowing decision making or cutting investment plans. On the other hand, the EIM solutions are seen as a tool for improving operational efficiency and thus the demand for them did not significantly decrease in the 2008-2010 recession. CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE Affecto has established a separate subsidiary Karttakeskus Oy for conducting the Geographic Information Services (GIS) business in Finland. The GIS services business was separated from Affecto Finland Ltd through a partial de-merger on 1 January 2011. Both Affecto Finland Ltd and the new Karttakeskus Oy are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the parent company Affecto Plc. Affecto has acquired the remaining shares of Affecto Estonia from the minority shareholders in July. The company is previously consolidated as 100 % subsidiary in the financial statement of the group and this arrangement is disclosed in detail in the notes 16 and 33 of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2010. The transaction had no material impact on the group financials. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND GOVERNANCE The Annual General Meeting of Affecto Plc, which was held on 31 March 2011, adopted the financial statements for 1.1.-31.12.2010 and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability. Approximately 41 percent of Affecto's shares and votes were represented at the Meeting. The Annual General Meeting decided that a dividend of EUR 0.06 per share will be distributed for the year 2010. Aaro Cantell, Heikki Lehmusto, Jukka Ruuska and Haakon Skaarer were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors, and Tuija Soanjärvi and Lars Wahlström were elected as new members. Immediately after the Annual General Meeting the organization meeting of the Board of Directors was held and Aaro Cantell was re-elected Chairman of the Board and Jukka Ruuska as Vice-Chairman. KPMG Oy Ab was elected as the auditor of the company. The Meeting approved the Board's proposal for appointing a Nomination Committee to prepare proposals concerning members of the Board of Directors and their remunerations for the following Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee will consist of the representatives of the three largest shareholders and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, acting as an expert member, if he/she is not appointed representative of a shareholder. The members representing the shareholders will be appointed by the three shareholders whose share of ownership of the shares of the company is largest on 31 October preceding the Annual General Meeting. According to the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of Shareholders annually elects the Board of Directors by a majority decision. The term of office of the board members expires at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders following their election. The Board appoints the CEO. The Articles of Association do not contain any special rules for changing the Articles of Association or for issuing new shares. THE AUTHORIZATIONS GIVEN TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS In 2011 the Board has not used the authorizations given by the previous Annual General Meeting. Those authorizations expired on 31 March 2011. The complete contents of the new authorizations given by the Annual General Meeting held on 31 March 2011 have been published in the stock exchange release regarding the Meetings' decisions. The Board did not use the authorizations by the end of the review period. The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide to acquire the company's own shares with distributable funds. A maximum of 2 100 000 shares may be acquired. The authorization shall be in force until the next Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide to issue new shares and to convey the company's own shares held by the company in one or more tranches. The share issue may be carried out as a share issue against consideration or without consideration on terms to be determined by the Board of Directors and in relation to a share issue against consideration at a price to be determined by the Board of Directors. A maximum of 4 200 000 new shares may be issued. A maximum of 2 100 000 own shares held by the company may be conveyed. In addition, the authorization includes the right to decide on a share issue without consideration to the company itself so that the amount of own shares held by the company after the share issue is a maximum of one-tenth (1/10) of all shares in the company. The authorization shall be in force until the next Annual General Meeting. SHARES AND TRADING The company has only one share series, and all shares have similar rights. As at 31 December 2011, Affecto Plc's share capital consisted of 21 516 468 shares including the shares owned by Affecto Management Oy. The company does not own treasury shares. Affecto Management Oy owns 823 000 shares. During 2011, the highest share price was 2.97 euro, the lowest price 2.00 euro, the average price 2.46 euro and the closing price 2.36 euro. The trading volume was 8.8 million shares, corresponding to 41% of the number of shares at the end of the period. The market value of shares was 50.8 MEUR at the end of the period including the shares owned by Affecto Management Oy. The share subscription period of the 2006B options expired on 31 December 2011 and no subscriptions were made. SHAREHOLDERS The company had a total of 1822 owners on 31 December 2011 and the foreign ownership was 17%. The list of the largest owners can be found in the company's web site. Information about the ownership structure and option programs is included as a separate section in the financial statements. The ownership of the board members, CEO and their controlled corporations totaled approx. 14.7% (14.5% shares and 0.2% options). According to the flagging announcements made on 12 January 2011, the ownership of Capman Public Market Investment has decreased below 5% and the ownership of OP-Pohjola (OP-Rahastoyhtiö funds) has exceeded 5%. According to the flagging announcement made on 17 February 2011, the ownership of Nordea Rahastoyhtiö Suomi has exceeded 5%. According to the flagging announcement made on 11 April 2011, the ownership of Nordea Rahastoyhtiö Suomi has decreased below 5%. According to the flagging announcement made due to a technical change on 13 June 2011, the ownership of OP-Pohjola has decreased below 5% and the ownership of OP-Rahastoyhtiö funds has exceeded 5%. According to the flagging announcement made on 26 September 2011, the ownership of Aaro Cantell and his controlled entities has exceeded 10%. ASSESSMENT OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The changes in the general economic conditions and the operating environments of its customers have direct impact in Affecto's markets. Slower investment decision making, postponing or cancellation of customers' IT investments may have negative impact on Affecto. Affecto's balance sheet includes a material amount of goodwill. Goodwill has been allocated to cash generating units. Cash generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are tested for impairment both annually and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. Potential impairment losses may have material effect on reported profit and value of assets. The greatest uncertainty is related to Sweden, where Affecto has invested in reforming the organization and processes, which has weakened profitability in the short term. Affecto's order backlog has traditionally been only for a few months, which decreases the reliability of longer-term forecasts. Affecto sells third party software licenses as part of its solutions. Typically the license sales have most impact on the last month of each quarter and especially in the fourth quarter. This increases the fluctuation in net sales between quarters and increases the difficulty of accurately forecasting the quarters. Affecto had license sales of approx. 11 MEUR in 2011. Approximately a half of Affecto's business is in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, thus the development of the currencies of these countries (SEK, NOK and DKK) may have impact on Affecto's profitability. Affecto's bank loan has covenants, the breach of which may lead to higher financing costs or even the termination of the loan. The covenants are based on total net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and total net debt to total equity. Affecto's success depends also on good customer relationships. Affecto has a well-diversified customer base. Although none of the customers is critically large for the whole group, there are large customers in various countries who are significant for local business in the country. Affecto's continued success is very much dependent on its management team and personnel. The loss of the services of any member of its senior management or other key employee could have a negative impact on Affecto's business and the ability of the company to implement its strategy. In addition, Affecto's success depends on its ability to hire, develop, train, motivate and retain skilled professionals on its staff. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD According to the flagging announcement made on 16 January 2012, the ownership of Evli Group has exceeded 5%. The ownership will later decrease below 5% when a forward contract made by Evli matures. DIVIDEND PROPOSAL The Board has updated Affecto's dividend policy: Affecto's dividend policy is to pay 30-50 percent of the profit as dividend. The company may deviate from this policy due to the needs of business development and growth. Distributable funds of the group parent company on 31 December 2011 are 67 171 521.24 euros, of which the distributable profit is 26 661 597.75 euros. Board of Directors proposes that from the financial year 2011 a dividend of 0.11 euros per share will be paid, a total of 2 366 811.48 euros with the outstanding number of shares at the end of the financial period, and the rest is carried forward to the retained earnings account. No material changes have taken place in respect of the company's financial position after the balance sheet date. The liquidity of the company is good and in the opinion of the Board of Directors proposed distribution of profit does not risk the liquidity of the company. FUTURE OUTLOOK In 2012 the main focus continues to be on profitability improvement. Profitability (EBIT-%) is estimated to improve and net sales are estimated to grow in 2012. The company does not provide exact guidance for net sales or EBIT development, as single projects and timing of license sales may have large impact on quarterly sales and profit.
