President & CEO Arto Metsänen:
“Glaston's market overall in 2012 continued to be challenging. After a weak
start to the year, the market turned in a better direction in the second half
of the year, and the latter part of the year went according to our plans. 

Towards the end of the year, to improve profitability we implemented adjustment
measures, which were mostly strongly targeted at Finland and Brazil. The annual
savings of the adjustment programme, amounting to around EUR 5 million, will be
realised in full during 2013. 

At the end of 2012, we also initiated measures to strengthen significantly the
company's financial position. These measures include plans for a share issue,
negotiations with present lenders on a new long-term financial agreement and
negotiations on the conversion of convertible bonds and a debenture bond into
Glaston shares. According to current estimates, the measures will be
implemented during the first quarter of 2013. 

As a result of the above-mentioned measures, we start 2013 from a sound
foundation. Moreover, our expectations for the development of the market in
2013 are cautiously positive. An indication of this is good order intake for
several FC500™ machines at the beginning of the year and also the concluded 
EUR 3.4 million sale in China, which included two CCS900™ machines and one
FC500™ machine.” 

Markets
Glaston's market situation and operating environment remained challenging in
2012 as a consequence of general economic development and uncertainty. After a
weak start to the year, demand picked up towards the end of the year and
particularly in the final quarter. Price competition intensified in both
machine sales and services. In South America, the market was stable. Global
economic instability adversely affected the development of the Asian market at
the beginning of the year. Demand in the area turned, however, to modest growth
in the second half of the year. There were indications of a revival of the
North American market, with particular growth of demand for machine upgrade and
modernisation products. In the EMEA area, the difficult situation continued,
with significant regional differences. 

Machines
The market situation of the Machines segment was challenging in 2012. The Asian
and EMEA markets levelled off during the first half of the year, but picked up
in the third quarter and particularly in the fourth quarter of the year. In
Europe, sales directed at Eastern Europe in particular grew, boosted by Russia.
In North America, the gradual recovery from a low level continued. In South
America, development was stable.

The Machines segment's product development investments continued. In
pre-processing machines, the new UC 300 and UC 500 automatic cutting lines were
launched on to the market. The range of tools was supplemented by the
SolarTech™ and White Tech™ diamond grinding wheels, which are particularly
suitable for the grinding of solar panel, home appliance and furniture glass.
In heat treatment machines, the most significant new products were the Glaston
Air™ air floatation technology concept for tempering 2 millimetre glass as well
as a global cooperation agreement with the German company Arcon relating to the
reduction of anisotropy, namely iridescence, in glass. By developing production
line efficiency, Glaston managed by the end of the year to reduce the delivery
time of basic tempering machines from six months to around 15 weeks, which gave
the company an important competitive advantage. 

The unstable economic outlook was reflected in customers' investment activity,
which affected the Machines segment's growth. Orders received in the Machines
segment totalled EUR 86.3 (89.2) million in 2012. In January-December, net
sales totalled EUR 84.7 (90.0) million. The January-December operating result
was a loss of EUR 7.4 (1.7 loss) million, and the operating result excluding
non-recurring items was a loss of EUR 2.6 (1.9 loss) million. At the end of
2012, the segment had 461 (541) employees. 

Orders received in the Machines segment totalled EUR 25.5 (26.9) million in
October-December. October-December net sales were EUR 22.7 (26.2) million and
the operating result was a loss of EUR 1.3 (1.7 profit) million. The operating
result excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.4 (1.5) million. 

Services
The Services segment's market was challenging in 2012. Owing to overcapacity,
demand was focused on quality-improving and cost-saving products. Price
competition continued to be very intense. 

The market in North America developed positively, with demand being directed
over the entire product range. In the EMEA area, the market was stable. Signs
of recovery were perceptible in Russia, the Middle East and in Poland and
Germany. In South America, the year was challenging, particularly in Brazil. In
Asia, the year began quietly, but demand picked up in the second half of the
year. In the Pacific area, Glaston concluded in the third quarter its largest
ever single deal of the Services segment, valued at around EUR 0.9 million. 

During the year, the Services segment continued its actions aimed at developing
the coverage of its service network, reducing delivery times and improving
reliability. During the year, the Services segment launched a number of new
products connected with improving end product quality and increasing capacity.
The beginning of the year saw the introduction of the CCS™ preheating chamber
upgrade product and HS Extension, which improves the quality of thick,
heat-strengthened glass. The revamped Glaston Care service contract product
range, which has four different service levels, was also launched. At the
Glasstec fair, Glaston presented the RC200-zone™ upgrade product, which enables
the modernisation of old or damaged chambers of tempering machines, as well as
iControl™ (iC™), an automation system upgrade for Glaston flat tempering
machines. 

Orders received in the Services segment totalled EUR 31.8 (31.4) million in
2012. January-December net sales totalled EUR 32.3 (31.2) million. The
January-December operating result was EUR 5.8 (5.4) million, and the operating
result excluding non-recurring items was EUR 5.9 (5.3) million. At the end of
2012, the segment had 130 (122) employees. 

Orders received in the Services segment totalled EUR 7.9 (8.0) million in the
final quarter of 2012. October-December net sales were EUR 9.9 (8.0) million
and the operating profit was EUR 1.9 (0.8) million. The operating result
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.0 (0.8) million.

At the end of the review period, the consolidated asset total was EUR 158.0
(187.2) million. The equity attributable to owners of the parent was EUR 30.6
(52.8) million, i.e. EUR 0.29 (0.50) per share. The equity ratio on 31 December

financial expenses (interest cover), net debt/EBITDA, cash and cash equivalents
and gross capital expenditure. During the review period, Glaston renegotiated
some of the loan covenants with lenders. 

The Group has initiated measures to strengthen its financial position. The
planned measures include share issue, new long-term financial package as well
as negotiations with holders of the convertible and debenture bonds to convert
the bonds to equity. Glaston has summoned an extraordinary shareholders'
meeting to be held on 12 February, 2013. The Board of Directors proposes that
the Extraordinary General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve
on issuances of shares. Glaston estimates that the share issue and the other
measures to improve financial position will take place during the first quarter
of 2013. 

On 7 February, 2013, Glaston has agreed with the current lenders on new
long-term financial package, which will be in force when certain conditions,
such as the share issue and conversion of the convertible and debenture bonds
into equity, have been fulfilled. Glaston has received commitments from
sufficient number of shareholders participating in the extraordinary
shareholders' meeting to ensure, that the shareholders' meeting will approve
the share issue. Glaston has also sufficient commitments to ensure, that the
minimum required number of shares will be subscribed in the share issue and
that the debenture bonds and the majority of convertible bonds will be
converted into equity. 

Adjustment measures
During 2012 Glaston enhanced and adjusted its operations according to the
market situation. In the second quarter, production capacity in Asia was
adjusted to correspond with demand through a reduction in personnel. In Italy,
temporary layoffs of personnel continued. 

At the end of the year, Glaston initiated negotiations on the adjustment of its
operations to the new structure and to the prevailing market situation.
Negotiations with personnel covered all Glaston personnel in all operations
world-wide, with the focus being on Finland and Brazil. The result of the
consultations was a personnel reduction of around 50 employees. The annual
savings of the adjustment programme will be around EUR 5 million and they will
be realised in full by the end of 2013. 

During the final quarter, the pre-processing product line in Italy streamlined
its organisation. The goal was a simpler and more operational organisation. In
Brazil, production of pre-processing machines was discontinued, but Glaston
will continue to sell pre-processing machines in Brazil. Measures to boost tool
production and increase volumes were initiated in China. 

Research and product development
In 2012 the research and product development expenditure of Glaston's
Continuing Operations totalled EUR 5.3 (5.0) million, i.e. 4.6 (4.2)% of net
sales. The focus of product development was on thin (2 mm) tempering, improving
end product quality and energy efficiency, and on capacity-increasing products. 

At the beginning of the year, Glaston launched the Tamglass RC350™ and CCS1000™
flat tempering machines. The benefits of the RC350™ machine to the customer are
high productivity in the tempering of all Low-E coatings, energy efficiency,
and ease of use. The CCS1000™ tempering line is a second-generation
double-chamber tempering line, whose advantages are nearly double capacity and
excellent end-product quality. A new upgrade product, the CCS™ preheating
chamber, was also launched to the market. This product increases significantly
production line capacity, end product quality and process energy efficiency. A
preheating chamber can be added to nearly all flat tempering machine models.
Glaston also launched a completely new method, HS Extension, for improving the
quality of thick, heat-strengthened glass. 

In October, at the Glasstec fair, the glass industry's main event, a
Glaston-developed new air floatation technology intended for the tempering of 2
millimetre glass was presented. The innovation revolutionises the tempering of
thin glass by solving a number of technical challenges relating to end product
quality and energy efficiency. In addition, the company announced a global
cooperation agreement with the German company Arcon on technology that reduces
anisotropy, i.e. polarisation reflections in glass, as well as a measuring
device with which anisotropy can be numerically verified for the first time. 

Glaston IriControl™ technology and measuring devices are sold as options for
new flat tempering machines and also as an upgrade product. The Pre-processing
product line introduced the new UC 300 and UC 500 automatic cutting lines, the
GlasWash series of washing machines, as well as the SolarTech™ and White Tech™
diamond grinding wheel product lines, which deliver excellent performance,
grinding speed and quality. The new wheels are highly suitable for the grinding
of solar panel, home appliance and furniture glass. The Services segment
introduced, among other things, the RC200-zone™ upgrade product, which
facilitates the modernisation of a tempering machine's old or broken chamber.
The company also launched a new automation system upgrade, iControl™ (iC™), for
Glaston's flat tempering machines. iControl™ improves process management and
increases productivity. 

Discontinued Operations' research and product development expenditure totalled
EUR 2.5 (3.1) million. 

Capital expenditure, depreciation and amortisation
The gross capital expenditure of Glaston's Continuing and Discontinued
Operations totalled EUR 5.6 (5.7) million. The most significant investments in
2012 were in product development. 

In 2012, depreciation and amortisation of Continuing Operations on property,
plant and equipment and on intangible assets totalled EUR 5.4 (5.5) million. A
EUR 3.0 million goodwill impairment loss, directed at the Machines business
area, was recognised in the first quarter. 

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations consists of the Software Solutions business area. On 12
November 2012, Glaston announced in a stock exchange release the sale of the
Software Solutions business area, and the sale was completed on 4 February
2013. 

Discontinued Operations' revenue in the review period totalled EUR 20.1 (22.9)
million and the result before taxes was a loss of EUR 3.5 (2.0 profit) million.
Discontinued Operations' result includes a EUR 5.2 million goodwill impairment
loss, which arose from the remeasurement of net assets held for sale at fair
value less costs to sell. Discontinued Operations' order book on 31 December
2012 was EUR 1.4 (1.8) million. Discontinued Operations' orders received in the
review period totalled EUR 16.5 (20.8) million. 

Changes in the company's management
In order to accelerate the implementation of its strategy as well as business
growth, Glaston strengthened its Executive Management Group and changed the
roles of the Group's members as of 1 July 2012. Roberto Quintero was appointed
Senior Vice President, Machines Business Area, Pre-processing and Tools product
lines, and he also became a member of the Executive Management Group. He
transferred to the post from his duties as SVP, Heat Treatment product line. 

SVP, Services Juha Liettyä was appointed SVP, Machines Business Area, Heat
Treatment product line, and SVP, Supply Chain Pekka Huuhka was appointed SVP,
Services. 

Sasu Koivumäki was appointed as the company's Chief Financial Officer as of 1
October 2012, following Tapio Engström's departure from Glaston to join a new
employer. Koivumäki transferred to the post from his role as Glaston's Vice
President, Sales & Service, North America. Glaston's Senior Industrial Advisor
Günter Befort left Glaston on 15 November 2012. Senior Vice President, Human
Resources Tapani Lankinen left Glaston on 31 December 2012 to join a new
employer. A new group-level Senior Vice President, Human Resources has not been
appointed. 

Employees
During the year, measures to adjust personnel numbers to the market situation
continued. The measures were targeted particularly at Finland and Brazil. 

On 31 December 2012, Glaston's Continuing Operations has a total of 602 (675)
employees, of whom 23% worked in Finland and 26% elsewhere in the EMEA area,
32% in Asia and 18% in the Americas. The average number of employees was 634
(703). On 31 December 2012, the Software Solutions segment had a total of 175
(195) employees. Continuing and Discontinued Operations had an average total of
820 (899) employees in 2012. 

Group structural changes in 2012
In 2012 the following Group companies were liquidated: Glaston Australia Pty.
Ltd. in Australia and Albat+Wirsam Software GmbH branches in Austria and
Belgium. 

In December, Albat+Wirsam Software GmbH sold the shares of Glaston Germany GmbH
to Glaston Services Ltd. Oy. 

Environment
The energy efficiency of glass processing machines and, moreover, the
energy-efficiency of the end products manufactured with them are highly
significant from an environmental perspective. Glaston aims to be as
environmentally friendly as possible in its operations. The company's
operations may give rise to minor environmental effects, such as noise. The
company does not cause air pollution or create emissions into land or water
areas.Glaston's glass processing machines and the components used in them have
been designed to withstand intense use. The life cycle of machines and
equipment may be measured in decades. In addition, maintenance services,
maintenance contracts, machine upgrades and modernisations further extend the
life cycle of machines and equipment. 

Energy efficiency and its development play a key role in product development.
In the new Glaston RC350™ flat tempering machine, energy efficiency in the
heating process has been achieved by controlling convection while taking into
account the oscillation of the glass in the oven, enabling the amount of
compressed air used in convention to be minimised. The machine is suitable for
the manufacture of all temperable coated glass, such as the tempering of
low-emissivity (Low-E) glass. 

The GlastonAir™ air floatation technology enables the tempering of glass as
thin as 2 millimetres with the lowest possible cooling power, yielding a
significant energy saving compared with traditional solutions. The uses of 2
millimetres tempered glass are, for example, solar panels and CSP mirrors.

The Annual General Meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal of the
Board of Directors to amend Articles 10 and 11 of the Articles of Association.
Article 10 was amended so that General Meetings of Shareholders shall be held
in the place where the company is domiciled or in Espoo. In addition, a mention
was added to the article whereby the Chairman of the General Meeting shall have
the right to determine the method of voting in the event of a matter being
resolved by a vote at a General Meeting. Article 11 was amended so that the
notice to a General Meeting of Shareholders shall be published on the company's
website. In addition, the Board of Directors may decide on the publishing of
the notice to a General Meeting in a newspaper. 

At its organising meeting on 27 March 2012, Glaston's Board of Directors
elected Andreas Tallberg to continue as the Chairman of the Board and Christer
Sumelius to continue as the Deputy Chairman of the Board. 

Events after the review period
On 20 December 2012, Glaston announced in a stock exchange release that it will
initiate measures to strengthen the company's financial position. The
arrangements require a decision of an Extraordinary General Meeting. On 22
January 2013, Glaston published a notice to an Extraordinary General Meeting.
The meeting will be held on 12 February 2013. The Board of Directors proposes
that the General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to decide on one or
more issuances of shares. The authorisation contains the right to issue new
shares or to dispose of shares held by the company up to 86,000,000 shares. 

On 4 February 2013, Glaston announced in a stock exchange release that it had
completed the sale of Albat+Wirsam Software GmbH. On the same day, changes in
the Executive Management Group were also announced. Senior Vice President,
Software Solutions Uwe Schmid resigned from the Executive Management Group and
General Counsel Taina Tirkkonen was appointed to the Executive Management
Group. 

On 7 February 2013, Glaston announced in a stock exchange release about the new
long term credit facility agreement, securing financing for at least the
following 12 months. The credit facility will be in force when certain
conditions, such as the share issue and conversion of the convertible and
debenture bonds into equity, have been fulfilled. Glaston has received
commitments from sufficient number of shareholders participating in the
extraordinary shareholders' meeting to ensure that the shareholders' meeting
will approve the share issue. Glaston has also sufficient commitments to
ensure, that the minimum required number of shares will be subscribed in the
share issue and that the debenture bonds and the majority of convertible bonds
will be converted into equity. 

Risks and risk management
Glaston operates globally and changes in the development of the world economy
directly affect the Group's operations and risks. A strategic risk for Glaston
is above all the loss of the Group's market shares, particularly in the most
strongly developing markets in Asia and South America as well as in Europe. The
arrival of a competing machine and glass processing technology on the market in
connection with technological development, which would require Glaston to make
considerable product development investments, as well as changes to legislation
regulating the company are also strategic risks. Glaston's most significant
operational risks include cost development relating to Glaston's operations,
management of large customer projects, the availability of components,
management of the contractual partner and subcontractor network, product
development, succeeding in the effective protection of intellectual property
rights and efficient production as well as the availability and permanence of
expert personnel. Glaston continually develops its information systems and
despite careful planning, temporary disruptions to operations might be
associated with the introduction stages. 

The Group's financial risks consist of foreign exchange, interest rate, credit
loss, counterparty and liquidity risks. The nature of international business
means that the Group has risks arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates. Changes in interest rates represent an interest rate risk. Credit loss
and counterparty risks arise mainly from risks associated with the payment
period granted to customers. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group's
negotiated credit facilities are insufficient to cover the financial needs of
the business or that obtaining new funding for these needs will cause a
significant  increase in financing costs. 

The measures initiated to strengthen Glaston's financial position will improve
significantly the group's liquidity. 

The Group's loan agreements include terms and other commitments which are
linked to consolidated key figures. If the covenant terms are not fulfilled,
negotiations with the lenders will be initiated. These negotiations may lead to
notice of termination of financial agreements. The covenants in use are
interest cover, net debt /EBITDA, cash and gross capital expenditure. The
covenants are monitored regularly. During the financial year and in the end of
the fourth quarter Glaston renegotiated some of the loan covenants with
lenders. The covenant terms of the new loan agreement signed on 7 February,
2013 are mainly the same as in the previous loan agreement, but the levels of
the covenant terms are more favourable to Glaston. 

Assesment of going concern
When preparing financial statements, Glaston's management assesses Glaston's
ability to continue as going concern. It is the opinion of the management and
board of directors of Glaston that the most significant factor which could
endanger Glaston's ability to continue as going concern would be insufficient
funding, but the measures taken in the latter part of 2012 and in early 2013
have decreased the risk remarkably. Glaston's financial position will be
strengthened with decrease of net debt and improvement of equity. Net debt has
been decreased with the funds received from sale of Software Solutions
business. The sale was closed in early February 2013. Also, the funds to be
received from the sale of Tampere real estate in Finland will be used to pay
back debt. The sale is estimated to be finalized during the first quarter of
2013. 

The Board of Directors of Glaston Corporation has summoned on January 22, 2013
an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to be held on 12 February, 2013. The
Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorizes
the Board of Directors to resolve on one or more issuances of shares. The
authorization contains the right to issue new shares or dispose of the shares
in the possession of the company up to 86,000,000 shares. The share issue will
improve Glaston's equity. 

In addition, the Board of Directors of Glaston Corporation started at the end
of 2012 negotiating with the holders of the convertible bond and of the
debenture bond on conversion of the bonds into Glaston shares. The majority of
the holders of the convertible bonds and the holders of the debenture bond are
committed to convert the bonds into shares. 

Glaston's financing has been secured for at least the following 12 months with
the new long term credit facility agreement signed on 7 February, 2013. The
credit facility will be in force when certain conditions, such as the share
issue and conversion of the convertible and debenture bonds into equity, have
been fulfilled. Glaston has received commitments from sufficient number of
shareholders participating in the extraordinary shareholders' meeting to ensure
that the shareholders' meeting will approve the share issue. Glaston has also
sufficient number of commitments to ensure that the share issue will be
subscribed. 

Glaston's management has no information of other events or circumstances which
may cast significant doubt on Glaston's ability to continue as going concern. 

Uncertainties and risks in the near future
Glaston's business environment remains challenging. Slower economic growth and
uncertainty in the financial markets could affect the timing of large machine
orders. The general economic uncertainty continues to affect customers'
investment activity. 

The recession of 2008/2009 reduced production volumes of float glass worldwide.
The underlying nature of the sector, however, is expected to be unchanged, so
production volumes are forecast to grow in the coming years. 

Global economic uncertainty in late 2012 and its impact on development of the
sector have been taken into account in the short-term forecasts. If the
recovery of the sector is delayed further or slows, this will have a negative
effect on future cash flows. 

Glaston performs annual goodwill impairment testing during the final quarter of
the year. In addition, goodwill impairment testing is performed if there are
indications of impairment. Due to prolonged market uncertainty, it is possible
that Glaston's recoverable amounts will be insufficient to cover the carrying
amounts of assets, particularly goodwill. If this happens, it will be necessary
to recognise an impairment loss, which, when implemented, will weaken the
result and equity. 

General business risks and risk management are outlined in more detail in
Glaston's 2012 Annual Report and on the company's website www.glaston.net. 

Outlook
Our expectations for the development of the market in 2013 are cautiously
positive. In North America, outlook for construction in particular is more
positive than a year ago. In Europe, the economic outlook remains uncertain. We
expect that the cautiously positive development that began in Asia in late 2012
will continue. Stable development in South America is expected to continue. 

As a result of economic uncertainty and overcapacity, the market for new
machines will continue to be challenging. The development of the service market
is expected to remain positive. 

We will focus in future on our core operations, namely on glass processing
machines and related services. This strategic decision will allow us to
capitalise on our strong expertise and resources in the best possible way.
Following the cost-cutting and restructuring programmes implemented in 2012, we
start 2013 on a more stable foundation. The prerequisites for profitable
operations exist. Despite the discontinuation of unprofitable product groups,
we expect a slight growth in net sales. 

Glaston expects 2013 net sales to be on the 2012 level and the operating result
to be positive. 

Board of directors' proposal on the distribution of profits
The distributable funds of Glaston Corporation, the parent of Glaston Group,
total EUR 25,909,633, of which the loss for the review period is EUR
-11,101,550. The company has no funds available for dividend distribution. 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend
be distributed from the result for the year nor from retained earnings, and
that equity is not returned from the reserve for invested unrestricted equity.
EUR 25,909,633 will be left in distributable funds.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements of Glaston Group are prepared in
accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including International
Accounting 
Standards (IAS) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial
Reporting 
Interpretations Committee (SIC and IFRIC). International Financial Reporting
Standards are 
standards and their interpretations adopted in accordance with the procedure
laid down in 
regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The Notes to the Financial Statements are also in accordance with the Finnish
Accounting Act 
and Ordinance and the Finnish Companies' Act.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Reporting as approved
by the 
European Union. They do not include all the information required for full
annual financial 
statements.

The accounting principles applied in these condensed consolidated financial
statements are 
the same as those applied by Glaston in its consolidated financial statements
as at and for 
the year ended 31 December, 2011, with the exception of the following new or
revised or 
amended standards and interpretations which have been applied from 1 January,
2012: 
- Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Transfers of
Financial Assets 

The amendment shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July,
2011. 
The amendment increases the disclosure requirements of transfers and
derecognition of 
financial assets. The amendment does not have material effect on Glaston's
consolidated 
financial statements but it increases the disclosure information in the
consolidated 
financial statements.

Other new or amended standards or interpretations applicable from 1 January,
2012 are not 
material for Glaston Group.

Glaston will apply the following new or revised or amended standards and
interpretations 
from 1 January, 2013, if EU has approved them:

- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements
- Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of
Items of Other 
Comprehensive Income
- IAS 19 (revised) Employee Benefits
- IAS 27 (revised) Separate Financial Statements
- IAS 28 (revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
- Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009 - 2011 Cycle, published in May 2012

The revised and amended standard shall be applied for annual periods beginning
on or after 
1 January, 2013, except that revised IAS 1 shall be applied for annual periods
beginning on 
or after 1 July, 2012.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements standard changes the
definition of control in other entities. Control is the basis for including an
entity in 
the consolidated financial statements. The application of IFRS 10 does not
affect the 
consolidated financial statements of Glaston.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities standard increases the
disclosure 
information of group companies in the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements standard increases the disclosure information
in the 
consolidated financial statements but has otherwise no material effect on
Glaston's 
consolidated financial statements.

Amended to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income standard
changes the 
presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial
statements but has 
otherwise no effect on Glaston's consolidated financial statements.

Revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard changes the recognition of actuarial
gains and 
losses. The corridor method is no longer allowed in recognizing actuarial gains
and losses 
but they are recognized in other comprehensive income. Only current and past
service costs as well as net interest on net defined benefit liability can be
recorded in profit or loss. 
Other changes in net defined benefit liability are recognized in other
comprehensive income 
with not subsequent recycling to profit or loss. The revised IAS 19 standard is
applied 
retrospectively. As a result of applying the revised IAS 19, Glaston's
liabilities from 
defined benefit plans increase approximately EUR 0.4 million and equity
decreases 
approximately EUR 0.5 million.

Other new or amended standards or interpretations applicable
from 1 January, 2013 are not material for Glaston Group.

Share-based payments


Share-based incentive plan 2009

The CEO has a separate share-based payment incentive plan. According to the
plan, the 
CEO received in September 2010, ie. one year after the date when his employment
in Glaston 
began, 50,000 shares in Glaston Corporation. The shares cannot be transferred
further within 
two years from the reward payment date (restriction period). If the CEO's
employment or 
service ends during the restriction period, he must return the shares. The
vesting period 
of this incentive plan ended in 2012.



Share-based incentive plan 2010 - 2011

The Board of Directors of Glaston Corporation decided on 9 June, 2010 on a
share-based 
incentive plan. As there was a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions, the
share-based 
plan did not vest. As the share-based plan did not vest, expenses were adjusted
in 2011 by 
EUR 0.5 million.



Share-based incentive plan 2012

On 12 December, 2011 The Board of Directors of Glaston decided to establish a
long-term 
share ownership plan as a part of the remuneration and commitment program for
the key 
personnel. Glaston's share-based plan 2012 offered a possibility to earn the
Company's shares 
as a reward for attaining the EBIT target set for the financial year 2012. The
reward from 
the plan would have been paid to the key personnel as a combination of shares
and cash payment 
after the end of the earning period. No reward would have been paid to a key
person if 
his/her employment or service ended before the end of the earning period.  As
the share-based 
plan did not vest, no reward will be paid for this plan.
