Juhani Hintikka, President and CEO: ”The last quarter was again the best of the year for Comptel. Our business proceeded strongly in the Latin America, Middle East and Europe West. We won 10 new customers and received 10 significant orders, which increased our order backlog to a record high level. In line with our strategy, we continued investments in sales and service organisation which was reflected in our operative profitability. The year 2011 was a time of transformation in Comptel. We renewed the organisation and executive board, established new teams and offices, launched new values and formulated a new strategy. We also hired a significant amount of new experts close to our customers and prospects. Further, we increased our investments in R&D to bring new products to the market. With the new products we aim to increase the share of license sales which will improve the company's profitability. Towards the year-end we started to see the first results of the transformation process when both the employee and the customer satisfaction improved. During the year as a whole, we won 15 new customers of which 5 are located in new countries for us. Our order backlog strengthened significantly when we booked 23 orders with a value over 500,000 euros. The sale of Axioss software increased our operating profit and in December we made a capital repayment and paid an extraordinary dividend to our shareholders. Comptel's financial position remained strong.” Business Review In the fourth quarter, Comptel's net sales remained at the previous year's level and were EUR 23.3 million (23.5).

Events after the Reporting Period Comptel Corporation announced on 26 January 2012 that it will acquire Xtract Oy, a Finnish software company specialising in analytics, for a total consideration of EUR 3.1 million (enterprise value). Xtract has approximately 20 customers including telecom operators AVEA in Turkey, DNA in Finland, Megafon in Russia and TeliaSonera in Finland as well as insurance company If, retail and media companies. Xtract's net sales were EUR 2.4 million in 2011. Xtract has 27 highly skilled employees which are mainly based in Espoo, Finland. The transaction was completed on 9 February 2012 after which time onwards Xtract Group will be consolidated into Comptel Group financials. The acquisition was financed through Comptel Corporation's liquid assets. Near-term Risks and Uncertainties Comptel develops dynamic end-to-end solutions for leading operators globally in the telecom field. This requires Comptel to understand correctly the trends taking place in its business environment and the needs of its customers and resellers by each region. Failure to identify market conditions, address customers' needs and develop its products in a timely way may significantly undermine the growth of Comptel's business and its profitability. Characteristics for Comptel's field of industry are significant quarterly variations of net sales and profit, which are related to customers' purchasing behaviour and the timing of major single deals. Comptel operates globally so it is exposed to risks arising from different currency positions. Exchange rate changes between the Euro, which is the company's reporting currency, and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling, Malaysian ringgit and Norwegian Krone affect the company's net sales, expenses and net profit. The application process to prevent Comptel's double taxation is still pending with the Ministry of Finance in Finland. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. However, the process between the states is very slow and the timing of a change is hard to forecast. In December 2011, Cisco Systems Inc. filed a request for arbitration against Comptel Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Comptel Communications Ltd in the London Court of International Arbitration concerning Comptel's use of a certain sub-set of Axioss software that was sold to Cisco and simultaneously licensed back to Comptel for use in the current release of Comptel Fulfillment. Comptel regards Cisco's claims entirely against the recent agreements concluded by Comptel and Cisco for the sale of Axioss software to Cisco. This dispute has no impact on the next-generation Comptel Fulfillment 8, which will be released in summer 2012. The risks and uncertainties of Comptel are described more in detail in the company's financial statements and the Board of Directors' report for 2011. Outlook Comptel's order backlog at the end of 2011 was strong, creating conditions for growth during 2012. In 2012, Comptel net sales are estimated to grow over 10 per cent from the previous year. Operating profit is estimated to represent 5 - 10 per cent of net sales. Characteristically a significant part of Comptel's operating profit and net sales is generated in the second half of the year. Board of Directors' Proposal for the Disposal of Profits The Group parent company's distributable equity on 31 December 2011 was EUR 15,026, 574.95 (24,980,408.87). The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.03 (0.04 and an extraordinary dividend 0.03) per share be paid, totalling EUR 3,202,863.75 (7,473,348.75).

Income tax expense Tax expense according to the statement of comprehensive income for the period was EUR 3,373 thousand (EUR 3,811 thousand 2010). In 2006, Adjustment of the Tax Office for Major Corporations refused to accept the crediting of taxes withheld at source in taxation of 2004 and 2005. At the end of year 2010 Comptel had a tax receivable of EUR 595 thousand from Greece and Romania. The Ministry of Finance had earlier announced that it had reached an agreement with these two countries. However, during the refund process factors indicating that Greece will not adhere to the agreement have come up. Comptel recognised the tax receivables during 2011. Comptel is pursuing negotiations with the Ministry of Finance and the other countries that have withheld tax at source to avoid double taxation. The company believes the treatment of its withholding taxation will be changed. The negotiation process between countries is, however, very slow and the time for the change to take place is very difficult to predict. According to the Board of Adjustment's decision currently in force, Comptel Corporation has expensed taxes withheld at source amounting to EUR 1,189 thousand in January - December (EUR 1,006 thousand). 4.
