OUTLOOK FOR 2015

Key factors affecting the continuation of the company's business operations and
its financial performance are the success of the company's corporate
restructuring proceedings and the measures that may be decided upon as part of
the restructuring process. The content or success of these measures is not
currently known. Moreover, the company expects the general economic situation
to remain difficult, at least in the short term. For these reasons, the company
will not issue a more detailed profit estimate for the time being. 


REPORT OF ARTO HEIMONEN, CEO

The profitable operating profit before non-recurring items was encouraging and
exceeded my expectations. In addition, after the reporting period on 14 April
2015, the company gave notice of termination of the main lease agreement for
the current premises with a two-month notice period. This will significantly
improve the company's profitability. 

Trainers' House Plc applied for corporate restructuring in December 2014. At
the moment, the company's corporate restructuring proceedings are in the
process phase, the purpose of which is to prepare and confirm the restructuring
programme. In accordance with the decision of Espoo District Court, the
administrator submitted his report on the company's financial situation on 27
March 2015. Next, the administrator must prepare a proposal for the company's
restructuring programme by 3 June 2015. 

The company's customer work has continued in a glad way. The reactions of
customers and key personnel have also been encouraging, and the company's key
figures have shown positive development. Moreover, cooperation between the
company, the administrator and the creditors has started off well. 

The aim is that with the corporate restructuring programme, the company's
financial obligations will be reduced to correspond to the current scope of
business operations in such a way that the company's finances and cash flow
recover quickly. This means significant cuts in the company's expenses.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The company has continued the development of a product and service model that
provides quantifiable results to customers. An increasing number of customer
assignments include the Pulssi (Pulse) change management system. Also other
change tools developed by the company have evolved. Other change support tools
include, for example, Vaikutuskartta (Impact Map), which is used to clarify a
customer company's goals. The change tools are used to identify and agree on
operative indicators, as well as to crystallise repeated weekly activities
through which the goals are achieved. Regarding Ignis services, sales services
such as decision-maker mapping, scheduling decision-maker appointments, market
research as well as marketing and sales outsourcing solutions are emphasised. 

As reported previously, the company actively sought a solution concerning its
premises and financial position during the last quarter of 2014, because the
company's current level of net sales and results do not, in the company's
assessment, enable the fulfilment of the company's obligations under its
financial agreements. 

Because the company did not succeed in identifying an overall solution to the
situation, the company's Board of Directors decided that the best solution for
the company and its stakeholders was for the company to apply for corporate
restructuring. The company filed an application for corporate restructuring
with Espoo District Court on 12 December 2014. An extraordinary general meeting
decided on the continuation of the application for corporate restructuring on
20 January 2015 and Espoo District Court decided on the commencement of
corporate restructuring on 28 January 2015 . 

As part of the company's recovery programme, Trainers' House Plc and its
subsidiary, Ignis Oy, initiated codetermination negotiations on 12 December
2014. The negotiations were completed on 2 January 2015 and as a result, a
total of 11 employment contracts in the Group were terminated. As a result of
the revitalisation programme, the company's operating profit before
non-recurring items turned into profit during the reporting period. 

The change projects executed by Trainers' House are usually connected with
clarifying our customers' business strategies, marketing the strategies, and
implementing the strategies by boosting sales, enhancing customer service (for
example, through service design) and developing the work of leaders and
supervisors, along with the skills of subordinates. Managing work capacity
through physical and mental coaching holds an important role in an increasing
number of customer projects. 


FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Net sales for the reporting period were down from the previous year. However,
operating profit before non-recurring items showed a profit. 

Net sales from continuing operations in the period under review came to EUR 1.8
million (EUR 2.2 million). Operating profit (EBIT) from continuing operations
before non-recurring items was EUR 0.1 million, or 3.7% of net sales (EUR -0.2
million, or -8.2 %). The result for ongoing operations during the period was
EUR -0.3 million, or -14.1% of turnover (EUR -1.9 million, or -87.6%). 

Result

The comparative figures used to report operating profit include the reported
operating profit and the operating profit before non-recurring items (EBIT).
According to the company's management, these figures provide a more accurate
view of the company's productivity.

recognised in the income statement have no effect on cash flow. On 31 March

LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES

The company's long-term objective is profitable growth.

FINANCING, INVESTMENTS AND SOLVENCY

The amount of liabilities may change due to the corporate restructuring
programme. The final amount of liabilities will only be confirmed when a
possible restructuring programme has been approved. The figures below describe
the situation before the approval of a possible restructuring programme. 

In connection with the merger of Trainers' House Oy and Satama Interactive Plc,
the company concluded a loan agreement in the amount of EUR 40 million. At the
end of the reporting period, the company had outstanding loans related to this
agreement, which was renegotiated at the end of 2013, in the amount of EUR 1.7
million. 

The company issued a new, low-interest subordinated loan of approximately EUR
1.2 million during 2013 and 2014. The interest rate of the subordinated loan is
3.0% until 31 December 2016. The interest is capitalised at the end of each
year. From 1 January 2017, a cash interest payment of 5.0% will be payable
subject to the availability of the distributable assets. The capital loan will
mature on 31 December 2018. At the end of the reporting period, EUR 1.0 million
of the loan had been subscribed. 

Hybrid bond

On 15 January 2010, Trainers' House Plc issued a domestic hybrid bond in the
amount of EUR 5.0 million. Interest of EUR 1.0 million related to the hybrid
bond was recognised in shareholders' equity. 

According to the terms of the hybrid bond, the company has the right to decide,
subject to certain limitations specified in the terms, either to pay the
interest on the hybrid bond annually or to postpone these payments. Interest in
the amount of EUR 0.5 million was paid to the subscribers on 21 January 2011
and EUR 0.5 million on 20 January 2012. The interest paid reduces the
non-restricted equity and is not recognised as income. 

In accordance with its stock exchange release dated 17 December 2012, Trainers'
House has decided to defer interest payments on the hybrid loan for the time
being. The purpose of the deferment of interest payments is to strengthen the
company's financial position and to fulfil the terms of its loan agreement.
According to the terms of the hybrid bond, the company must pay the deferred
interest and any interest accrued on it if the company pays dividends in excess
of the minimum dividend stipulated in the Limited Liability Companies Act, or
otherwise distributes equity to its shareholders. 

In January 2014, the company made an offer to hybrid bond bearers to convert
the hybrid bond into a low-interest loan instrument with secondary priority as
compared with a senior loan and with the same key terms and conditions as for a
subordinated loan. The company's financiers, representing a total of
approximately EUR 4.1 million of the hybrid bond's capital, accepted the offer. 

The company has agreed on an opportunity to convert a maximum of EUR 2.0
million of the capital of these loan instruments to subordinated loans as
specified in the Limited Liability Companies Act, if deemed necessary to
support the parent company's equity. The conversion had been executed in full
during 2014. 

Cash flow and financing

Cash flow from operating activities before financial items totalled EUR -0.0
million (EUR -0.3 million), and after financial items EUR -0.0 million (EUR
-0.3 million). 

Cash flow from investments totalled EUR 0.0 million (EUR -0.0 million). Cash
flow from financing came to EUR -0.0 million (EUR -0.3 million). 

Total cash flow amounted to EUR -0.0 million (EUR -0.6 million).

On 31 March 2015, the Group's liquid assets totalled EUR 1.6 million (EUR 2.0
million). The equity ratio was 14.9% (34.4%). Net gearing was 296.8% (92.0%).
At the end of the reporting period, the Group had interest-bearing liabilities
in the amount of EUR 7.1 million (EUR 7.4 million). 

Financial risks

The company's fulfilment of the covenants of its financial instruments requires
a successful corporate restructuring process and the improvement of the
company's operational profitability 

Interest rate risk is managed by covering some of the risk with hedging
agreements as necessary. A bad-debt provision, which is booked on the basis of
ageing and case-specific risk analyses, covers risks to accounts receivable. 

In financial risk management, liquidity remained the key focus. Due to the
decrease in net sales and the excessive costs for premises and financing in
relation to the company's current level of net sales, the financing
arrangements concluded in 2013 proved inadequate, and the company decided to
file an application for corporate restructuring on 12 December 2014. Corporate
restructuring is under way, and it remains the company's aim to secure
sufficient financing to continue the Group's operations. Failure of the
restructuring proceedings could lead to the bankruptcy of the company. 


SHORT-TERM BUSINESS RISKS AND FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY

Risks in the company's operating environment have remained unchanged. On
account of the project-based nature of the company's operations, the order life
cycle is short, which makes it more difficult to estimate future developments.
Long-term visibility remains limited due to the general economic situation. The
company's financial situation is critical and taking care of the company's
liabilities under financial agreements requires improvement in the
profitability of the company's operational business as well as a successful
corporate restructuring process. 

Short-term risks

The Group's goodwill, other intangible assets and deferred tax assets, as
recognised in the balance sheet, were re-tested for impairment at the end of
the quarter. No write-downs were judged necessary from the results of this
impairment testing. 

Trainers' House Plc's Group balance sheet has EUR 1.7 million of goodwill. The
balance sheet value of trademarks is EUR 7.6 million. If the company's
profitability should fail to develop as predicted, or if external factors
beyond the company's control, such as interest rates, should change
significantly, there is a risk that some of the Group's goodwill and otherintangible assets may have to be written down. Such a write-down would not
affect the company's cash flow. 

At the end of the period under review, Trainers' House Plc's balance sheet
included deferred tax assets from losses carried forward in the amount of EUR
0.4 million. The deferred tax assets will expire between 2019 and 2023. 

The company's new loan agreement, under which there were loans in an amount of
EUR 1.7 million at the end of the reporting period, includes standard covenants
concerning operating profit before depreciation and cash in hand. 

If the company's profitability does not improve, the covenants will not be
fulfilled. The company's fulfilment of the covenants of its financial
instruments requires a corporate restructuring process and an improvement in
the company's operational profitability. 

Risks are discussed in more detail in the annual report and on the company's
website, at www.trainershouse.fi > Investors. 


PERSONNEL

At the end of March 2015, the Group employed 66 (81) people.
