CEO’s Overview

Net sales growth strong in 2012Our net sales grew strongly throughout 2012 and we saw the growth accelerating towards the end of the year. Our comparative operat-ing result improved from 2011. In the second half of 2012, we invested in business opera-tions and development.Project Personnel, our biggest business area, increased its net sales in all market areas in 2012 and grew by 28% from 2011, with Norway and Australia experiencing strong growth throughout the year. In North America, our net sales took an upward turn in the second half of 2012. We signed a new global frame agreement with a customer, which is one of the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas companies as well as currently one of the Group’s two main customers. The frame agreement is valid for five years.

Our Consulting business has developed positively through-out 2012, mainly due to our success in Norway where both cus-tomer demand and utilization have remained high. The business area’s net sales grew by 32% from 2011. In the second half of 2012, Consulting expanded its operations into the renewable energy market. Initially, we will be focusing specifically on projects in bio-renewables in Europe and South East Asia. The business area’s service offering for actors involved in renewable energy projects covers project management services and solutions across the project life-cycle.

In the first half of 2012, the Group acquired a minority share in SaraRasa Biomass Pte. Ltd., a renewable energy project devel-oper based in Singapore, and invested in the company’s first de-

velopment project SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd., a pellet processing plant using wood biomass and located in Indonesia. The plant is expected to start production in spring 2013. In the third quar-ter of 2012, SaraRasa Bioindo agreed a financing round with the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation (Finnfund), which also became a shareholder in the company.

At the end of 2012, the Group received a notice for a call of option to acquire Safran Software Solutions AS, previously part of the Group’s Software business area. Thus, the Group’s Software business area is reported under discontinued operations as of the

fourth quarter of 2012. The com-pletion of the sales process is

estimated to take place dur-ing spring 2013.

2013 has started with the announcement of the

Group’s new strategy and updated long-term finan-

cial objectives for 2013–2017. In accordance with the new strategy, we will focus on providing project management services, covering project personnel and consulting, to the energy sector world-wide and aim to become the most advanced player in our field. We have also renewed our Executive Team alongside the strategy renewal.

The Board of Directors of the Group’s parent company has proposed to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.02 per share to be paid. If the proposal is adopted, the dividend would be second in the company’s history.

Organizational changes implemented in 2012 have strength-ened our business areas. We continue our work to improve our operations in accordance with our new strategy.

Jan-Erik Mielck, CEOOur net sales grew strongly throughout 2012 and we saw the growth in net sales accelerating towards the end of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2012, our net sales grew 36% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Project Personnel, our biggest busi-ness area, increased its net sales by 37% and Consulting by 27%. Geographically, our net sales grew most strongly in Norway and Australia.

Our operating result in the last quarter of 2012 was EUR 0.6 million. In the second half of 2012, our operating result was af-fected by investments in business operations and development across the Group.

In 2012, our net sales grew by 28%. Project Personnel in-creased its net sales by 28% and Consulting by 32% from 2011. Again, geographically our net sales grew most strongly in Nor-way and Australia.

The Group’s comparable operating result in 2012 was EUR 3.4 million, which was approx. EUR 0.7 million and 28% higher than in 2011. Despite strong growth in net sales, our net cash flow from operations has increased.

In the first half of 2012, we acquired a minority share in Sara-Rasa Biomass Pte., a renewable energy project developer based in Singapore, and invested in SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd., which is the company’s first development project. The project is progress-ing according to plan. In the third quarter of 2012, SaraRasa Bioin-

do agreed a financing round with the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation (Finnfund), which also became a shareholder in the company.

In the third quarter of 2012, our Consulting business area expanded its operations into the renewable energy market. Ini-tially, the business area focuses specifically on projects in bio-re-newables in Europe and South East Asia. The move is part of the business area’s current operations and for its part strengthens our ability to operate in a new, growing market sector.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we signed a new global frame agreement with a customer, which is one of the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas companies as well as currently one of the Group’s two main customers. The frame agreement is valid for five years.

At the end of the year, Dovre Group received a notice for a call of option to acquire Safran Software Solutions AS, previously part of the Group’s Software business area. The completion of the sales process is estimated to take place during spring 2013. In case the transaction is completed, the expected consideration for the shares in on the level of EUR 5 million.

Organizational changes in the Group that were announced in the first half of 2012 have strengthened our business areas. We continue our work to improve our operations in accordance with our new strategy.

Future outlookGeneral economic insecurity has not affected investment levels among Project Personnel business area’s customers in the Oil and Gas industry and we expect demand for the business area’s services to remain strong in key market areas. Market demand supports opportunities for growth, but the competitive market

creates pressure on profitability.Current market outlook in the Nordic countries, an impor-

tant market for the Group’s Consulting business area, is positive, although uncertainty in the export industry in Finland and Swe-den may affect customers’ investment levels. In 2012, the busi-

We will continue developing the Group in accordance with our strategy, which was released on January 25, 2013.

In 2013, net sales and operating result are expected to grow from 2012. Guidance for 2013 applies to the Group’s continuing operations.

Business performanceOur net sales grew strongly throughout 2012 and we saw the growth in net sales accelerating towards the end of the year. Our comparative operating result improved from 2011. In the second half of 2012, our operating result was affected by investments in business operations and development. Organizational changes in the Group announced in the first half of 2012 have strength-ened our business areas. We continue our work to improve our operations in accordance with our new strategy.

Our Project Personnel business area increased its net sales in all market areas in 2012, with Norway and Australia experienc-ing strong growth throughout the year. In North America, our net sales took an upward turn in the second half of 2012. We signed a new global frame agreement with a customer, which is one of the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas companies as well as currently one of the Group’s two main customers. The frame agreement is valid for five years.

Our Consulting business has developed positively through-out 2012, mainly due to our success in Norway where both cus-tomer demand and utilization have remained high. In the second half of 2012, the business area expanded its operations into the renewable energy market. Initially, the business area focuses spe-

cifically on projects in bio-renewables in Europe and South East Asia. The business area’s service offering for actors involved in renewable energy projects covers project management services and solutions across the project life-cycle.

At the end of the financial year, Dovre Group received a notice for a call of option to acquire Safran Software Solutions AS, previously part of the Group’s Software business area. The completion of the sales process is estimated to take place during spring 2013.

In the first half of 2012, Dovre Group acquired a minority share in SaraRasa Biomass Pte. Ltd., a renewable energy project developer based in Singapore, and invested in the company’s first development project SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd., a pellet pro-cessing plant using wood biomass and located in Indonesia. The plant is expected to start production in spring 2013. In the third quarter of 2012, SaraRasa Bioindo agreed a financing round with the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation (Finnfund), which also became a shareholder in the company.

Short-term risks and uncertaintiesThe success of the Project Personnel business area is influenced by the energy sector market as well as investment levels in the Oil and Gas industry. The business area expands its business to new geographical market areas. Growth in new market areas requires investments and includes risks. The business area’s identified main risks are maintaining its overall competitiveness, profitabil-ity, and its key resources in an ever more competitive market en-vironment. Project Personnel business is project-based by nature, thus adding an element of uncertainty to forecasting.

The Oil and Gas industry in general involves risks, and single projects may experience delays or accidents. Such situations may affect the operating result of the Project Personnel business area. Dovre Group is responsible for the work performed by its con-sultants. However, the company has no overall responsibility for project deliveries.

Current market outlook in the Nordic countries, an impor-tant market for the Group’s Consulting business area, is positive, although uncertainty in the export industry in Finland and Swe-den may affect customers’ investment levels. The business area is expanding its business in the renewable energy market. Growth in a new market area requires investments and includes risks. Pro-

ject delivery involves risks which are due to both customers and the Group’s own personnel.

Dovre Group has two major customers, each of which ac-counts for more than 10% of the Group’s net sales. The Group has extensive delivery agreements with these clients and is thus dependent on its key customers and the long-term frame agree-ments signed with them.

Dovre Group has invested in a new company SaraRasa Bioindo Pte. Ltd. The build-up phase involves a number of risks, including, for example, organizational set-up, construction of production capacity, legal and regulatory issues, and commercial agreements, especially feedstock purchase and end-product sale agreements. As the company’s main operations are located in In-donesia, the company is exposed to high political risk.

The Group’s reporting currency is the euro. The Group’s most important functional currencies are the Canadian dollar, the Norwegian crown, and the US dollar. Currency fluctuations can affect the company’s net sales. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies can also result in foreign exchange gains or losses. The Group is hedging its currency positions.

Other events during the financial yearOn October 29, 2012, Dovre Group Plc announced that the Group had secured a global frame agreement with a customer, which is one of the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas companies as well as currently one of the Group’s two main customers. The

frame agreement is valid for five years. Dovre Group was selected as one of a limited number of suppliers to provide professional services to the customer.

On December 28, 2012, Dovre Group Plc announced that the

cess, including contract negotiations and due diligence, is esti-mated to take place during spring 2013. In case the transaction is completed, the expected consideration for the shares in on the level of EUR 5 million.

Events after the financial yearIn its meeting on January 24, 2013, the Board of Directors of Dovre Group Plc approved the company’s new strategy and the com-pany’s updated long-term financial objectives for 2013 - 2017.

In accordance with the new strategy, Dovre Group will focus on providing project management services, covering project per-sonnel and consulting, to the energy sector world-wide and aims to become the most advanced player in its field. The company’s long-term financial objective is an operating profit margin on the level of 5-10% with an average annual net sales growth of more than 15%. Dovre Group’s Project Personnel business area provides high quality professionals for major investment projects. Project Personnel business area aims to improve its competitiveness by building up state-of-the-art recruiting and service operations that utilize latest technologies. The Group’s Consulting business area offers management and project management consulting services. The business area seeks growth especially in the renew-able energy market with initial focus on biorenewables. The busi-ness area’s expansion will be supported by selective acquisitions.

The Group renewed its Executive Team upon the release of the new strategy. As of January 25, 2013, the Group’s Executive Team consists of Jan-Erik Mielck (CEO), Heidi Karlsson (CFO), Arve Jensen (Project Personnel), and Petri Karlsson (Consulting).

In its meeting on January 24, 2013, the Board of Directors of Dovre Group Plc has approved a new option plan 2013 based on the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting on March 15, 2012.

tal number of Dovre Group shares. Each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one share in Dovre Group.

The re-maining 395,000 2010B stock options entitle holders to subscribe for 395,000 shares of Dovre Group Plc.

Board of Directors’ proposal for dividendThe parent company’s distributable funds are EUR 12,120,269.42. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.02 per share to be paid, corresponding to EUR 1,257,915.02 based on the total number of shares (62,895,751).

The Company having decided to dissolve the unrestricted equity fund and to reduce the share capital of the Company in order to set off losses from prior financial years at the Annual Gen-eral Meeting held on March 17, 2011, the payment of the dividend is conditional on the creditor protection procedure in accordance with Chapter 14, Sections 3-5 of the Finnish Companies Act/re-quires public notice and registration procedure in accordance with Chapter 14, Sections 3-5 of the Finnish Companies Act. The procedure is estimated to take four (4) months.

The Board of Directors further proposes that the dividend, conditional on the creditor protection procedure as noted in the

previous paragraph, is paid to a shareholder who on the record date March 19, 2013, is registered as a shareholder in the Com-pany’s shareholders’ register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The dividend is paid on August 15, 2013.

No significant changes have occurred in the company’s fi-nancial position after the end of the financial year. The company’s liquidity is good, and the proposed distribution of dividend poses no risk to the company’s financial standing.

2.5 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS

2.5.1 BRIEF COMPANY DESCRIPTIONDovre Group is a global provider of project management services and software. The Group’s parent, Dovre Group Plc, is a Finnish public company incorporated under Finnish law and domiciled in Espoo, Finland. The company’s registered address is Maapal-lonkuja 1 A, 02210 Espoo, Finland. Dovre Group Plc’s shares are traded in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. (symbol DOV1V).

Dovre Group’s Board of Directors has approved these finan-cial statements for release in its meeting on February 13, 2013. In accordance with the Finnish Companies Act, the shareholders of the company have the option to approve or to reject the finan-cial statements in the General Meeting to be held following the release of the financial statements. The General Meeting may also decide to alter the financial statements. A copy of the consoli-dated financial statements of Dovre Group is available at www.dovregroup.com or at the company’s office at Unioninkatu 20-22, 00130 Helsinki, Finland.

2.5.2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of PreparationThe consolidated financial statements of Dovre Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Report-ing Standards (IFRS). In preparing the financial statements, the IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations effective on December 31, 2012 have been followed. In the Finnish Account-ing Act and the regulations issued by virtue of it, ‘IFRS’ refers to the standards and interpretations which have been endorsed by the EU in accordance with the procedure defined in the EU Regu-lation (EC) No. 1606/2002. The notes to the consolidated finan-cial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the requirements in Finnish accounting legislation and Community law that complement IFRS regulations. Changes in IFRS standards that became effective during the financial year had no material impact on the Group’s result, financial position, or the presenta-tion of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated. Monetary figures in the financial statements are expressed in thousands of euros (EUR) unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements un-der IFRS requires management to make certain estimates and use judgment when applying accounting principles. The sec-tion ‘Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments’ presents the judgments made by management when applying the Group’s accounting principles and those items on which judgments have had a significant effect.

Principles of Consolidation

SubsidiariesThe consolidated financial statements include the parent com-pany, Dovre Group Plc, and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are

companies in which the Group holds, either directly or indirectly, more than half of the voting rights or otherwise holds control. Subsidiaries acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the Group has obtained con-trol in them and subsidiaries sold up to the date that the Group’s control has ceased.

Mutual shareholdings are eliminated using the acquisition method. The acquisition consideration and the acquired compa-ny’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are meas-ured at fair value on the date of acquisition.

All intra-Group transactions, receivables, liabilities, and unre-alized profit, as well as the distribution of profits within the Group have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The allocation of the result for the period between the shareholders of the parent company and non-controlling inter-est is disclosed in the income statement. The share of equity of non-controlling interest is presented as a separate line item in the statement of financial position. The share of non-controlling in-terest is not disclosed in the statement of financial position, if the parent company or its subsidiary has a call option or other agree-ment, which gives the Group present access to financial benefits associated with the ownership.

For business combinations achieved in stages, previous shareholdings are measured at fair value and any profit or loss derived is recognized through the income statement. Should the Group lose control in a subsidiary, the remaining investment is measured at fair value on the date of expiry of control and the difference recognized through the income statement. Businesses acquired before January 1, 2010 have been treated in accordance with the prevailing standards at that time. The Group made no acquisitions in 2010–2012.

Associated companiesAssociated companies are companies in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence arises when the Group controls more than 20% of a company’s voting rights or when the Group otherwise has significant influence but no control. Associ-ated companies are consolidated in the Group’s financial state-ments under the equity method.

The Group’s share of results in associates is presented as a separate line item below the Group’s operating result in the con-solidated statement of income, because the operations of the Group’s associated companies are not continuous to the Group’s operations. The Group’s share of the associates’ comprehensive result is included in the Group’s other comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency TranslationFor individual Group companies, items included in the finan-cial statements are recognized in the functional currency of the company in question. Consolidated financial statements are pre-sented in euros (EUR), which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent company.

24

Foreign currency transactionsTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of ex-change prevailing on the date of transaction. In practice, transac-tions are often translated at the exchange rate that approximates the rate of the transaction date. At the end of the accounting pe-riod, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to business transactions as well as exchange rate gains and losses resulting from translating monetary items have been entered in the in-come statement and are presented under financial income and expenses.

Translation of foreign currency financial statementsThe income statements of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into euros at the weighted average exchange rate of the financial period and the items in the statement of financial position at the exchange rate of the balance sheet date. Using different exchange rates for income statement items and finan-cial position items results in a translation difference which is re-corded in the Group’s other comprehensive income. Translation differences arising from the elimination of the acquisition cost of foreign subsidiaries and the translation of the accumulated eq-uity items after the acquisition are also recognized in other com-prehensive income.

As of the IFRS effective date of January 1, 2004, the transla-tion differences in equity resulting from exchange rate fluctua-tions have been entered as a separate item in the Group’s state-ment of changes in equity. Translation differences accumulated prior to the effective date have been entered in the Group’s ac-cumulated losses as allowed by the exemption in IFRS 1.

Tangible AssetsTangible assets are stated at historical cost, less accumulated de-preciation and impairment loss.

Tangible assets include machinery and equipment. Depre-ciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected economic useful lives of the assets. The estimated depreciation period is 3–5 years.

Gains and losses on disposal of tangible assets are included in either other operating income or other operating expenses.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill For business combinations after January 1, 2010, goodwill corre-sponds to that portion of the acquisition cost that consists of the combined amount of consideration, non-controlling interest, and previous ownership interest and that exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the net assets of the acquired company. Acqui-sitions of companies between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2009 are accounted in accordance with previous IFRS standards (IFRS 3 (2004)). For prior acquisitions, goodwill corresponds to the book value determined in accordance with previous accounting standards. This book value is used as the deemed cost as defined by IFRS.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for possible

impairment for which purpose goodwill has been allocated to groups of cash generating units. Goodwill is calculated by de-ducting possible impairment from the original acquisition cost. Goodwill arising in connection with the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries has been translated into euros at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date.

Research and development costsResearch and development is expensed as incurred in the income statement. Development costs for new products and product versions with significant improvements are recognized as an as-set after the product is technically and commercially feasible and future economic gain can be expected. Capitalized development costs include those development, testing, and material costs that are the immediate consequence of finalizing the product for its intended use. The useful life of capitalized development costs is 2-4 years, during which the capitalized costs are recognized as an expense using the straight-line method. Amortization is started at the release of a product version. In-process development pro-jects are tested for impairment at the end of the financial period.

Other intangible assetsOther intangible assets include customer contracts and customer relations, as well as intangible assets consisting mainly of soft-ware and capitalized expenditure related to software. Intangible assets are recognized in the statement of financial position when the recognition criteria specified in IAS 38 are met.

Intangible assets with limited useful economic lives are initially recognized at historical acquisition cost in the statement of financial position and entered as an expense in the income statement during their estimated useful economic lives and us-ing the straight-line method. No amortization is recognized for intangible assets with unlimited useful economic lives, but they are tested annually for impairment. The Group does not presently have intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives.

The Group’s share of the Norwegian Dovre Group AS grew to 100% after the Group acquired the remaining 60% of the com-pany’s shares in 2004. A portion of the acquisition cost was al-located to customer agreements and relations in accordance with the definition of intangible assets in IAS 38. The Group had acquired 40% of the company prior to the effective date of IFRS standards, January 1, 2004. In accordance with the exemption al-lowed by IFRS 1, the Group did not apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to acquisitions that were made prior to the effective date of January 1, 2004. Since the acquisition was achieved in stages, the fair val-ues of customer agreements and customer relations in intangible assets related to the previous 40% ownership by the Group were adjusted in accordance with IFRS 3 according to the fair values on the date of acquisition of the remaining shares (60%). Adjust-ments to the fair values related to the previously acquired share (40%) were treated as revaluations in accordance with IFRS 3.

The useful economic life of customer agreements and cus-tomer relations is estimated at 10 years. The estimated useful eco-nomic life of other intangible assets is estimated at 3-5 years.

LeasesLease agreements have been classified as finance leases and

2. Group Financial Statements According to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

25

other leases in accordance with IAS 17. Lease agreements where the lessee bears a substantial portion of the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Lease agreements where the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and ben-efits of ownership are classified as other leases.

The Group has no finance lease agreements. The Group’s leased cars and office equipment are leased under other leases. Payments under other leases are recognized as expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible AssetsThe carrying values of goodwill and of in-process intangible as-sets are reviewed annually for impairment. In addition, assets and cash-generating units are tested regularly for indications of pos-sible impairment. Should any such indication arise, the recover-able amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement, if the book value of the asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the re-coverable amount.

Employee Benefits

Employee benefits expenseIn addition to customary employee benefits expense, the Group’s employee benefits expense includes also expenses related to in-dependent contractors in the Project Personnel business area. The Group acts as a principal towards its customers and, de-pending on the situation, the project personnel contracted to the customer are either employees of the Group or independent contractors.

Pension liabilitiesThe Group operates various pension plans in accordance with lo-cal regulations and practices. In accordance with IAS 19, the pen-sion plans are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. The Group’s current pension plans are de-fined contribution plans. Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of income in the period to which these contributions relate. The defined benefit plan of the Group’s Norwegian subsidiary was changed to a defined contri-bution plan in 2011.

Share-based compensationDovre Group has share-based incentive plans for its key person-nel. The fair value of option rights granted to key personnel is determined at the grant date and recognized as an expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black & Scholes pricing model. When option rights are exercised, the payments received for share subscriptions, as adjusted by possible transaction costs, are recognized in the reserve for invested non-restricted equity in accordance with the terms of the option plan in question.

ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Group has, as a result of past events, a current legal or constructive obligation, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obliga-

tion, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

Income Taxes and Deferred TaxesThe Group’s tax expense in the income statement includes taxes based on taxable income for the period and deferred taxes. The tax on taxable income for the period is calculated based on the tax legislation of the country of operation. Deferred taxes are cal-culated based on the tax rate applicable at the end of the period.

Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences aris-ing between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book values in financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet in full, and deferred tax assets to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. De-ferred tax is recognized neither for temporary differences that arise from goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes, nor for undistributed earnings of the subsidiaries to the extent that the reversal of temporary differences is not probable in the fore-seeable future. Most significant temporary differences arise from fair value measurements made in connection with acquisitions and from subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings.

Revenue RecognitionThe Group’s sales include the sale of services, licenses, and main-tenance. Revenue from sales is recognized in accordance with IAS 18. Revenue from services sold is recognized when the services have been rendered. Sales related travel expenses that have been invoiced to the customer are presented as part of the net sales.Revenue from licenses sold is recognized upon granting of user rights, when all the main risks and rewards of license ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from maintenance is allocated to the contract period.

Other Operating IncomeOther operating income includes proceeds from rental revenue, gains on disposal of fixed and financial assets, and public funding. Public funding is recognized when it is reasonably certain that the terms related to funding are met and that the funding will be received.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assetsIn accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the Group classifies its financial assets into the fol-lowing categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; held-to-maturity investments; loans and receivables; and available-for-sale financial assets. The Group has no held-to-ma-turity investments.

Loans and receivables are recognized at amortized cost. They are presented in the balance sheet as either current or non-cur-rent assets, with the latter including assets the maturity of which exceeds 12 months. An impairment loss for doubtful receivables is recognized, if there is objective evidence that the receivable is unrecoverable in full. Allowances for trade receivables are re-corded in a separate account. An impairment loss for loans and

26

other receivables is recorded against the carrying value.The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets include unquot-

ed shares, which are measured at fair value or, when fair value cannot be reliably determined, at acquisition cost. Changes in fair value of the Group’s available-for-sale financial assets are recog-nized through other comprehensive income and presented, as adjusted for tax effect, in the fair value reserve of equity. Cumula-tive gain or loss for available-for-sale financial assets previously recognized in other comprehensive income is included in the profit or loss for the period when the asset is sold or impaired. When there is no quoted market price for financial assets availa-ble-for-sale, fair value is determined by other means. The Group does not seek to determine the fair value of the Group’s available-for-sale financial assets if differences in valuations of the fair val-ues of unquoted financial assets are significant and the probabil-ity of different valuations cannot be reasonably estimated.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash in bank and other liquid investments with maturity of three months or less.

Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group hedges receivables and liabilities denominated in for-eign currency with different currency forward and option con-tracts. Derivatives are initially recognized under other receivables or payables at fair value on the date of trade. Outstanding de-rivatives are subsequently remeasured at their fair value at each balance sheet date and the resulting gain or loss is recognized immediately in the income statement under financial items. In determining the fair value of a derivative, the appropriate quoted market price is used, if available. Alternatively, fair value is deter-mined using commonly used valuation methods. Dovre Group does not apply hedge accounting.

Financial liabilitiesIn accordance with IAS 39, financial liabilities are initially recog-nized on the basis of the original consideration received, less transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Group’s financial li-abilities are non-current and current, and they can be interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing. Interest expenses are recog-nized in the income statement as incurred. Financial liabilities are

recognized as current unless the Group retains the right to re-schedule the date of payment to a date that is at least 12 months from the end of the financial period.

Critical Accounting Estimates and JudgmentsThe preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Group management to make estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results. Also, the management is required to use judgment when applying accounting principles. The esti-mates are based on the best information available at the balance sheet date.

The Group’s estimates and assumptions concern mainly the valuation of assets. The Group annually tests goodwill, in-process intangible assets for impairment, and measures indications of im-pairment in accordance with the accounting principles presented above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units are de-termined using calculations based on value-in-use. The prepara-tion of these calculations requires the use of estimates.

The definition of fair values of tangible and intangible assets of business combinations requires the use of estimates. The defi-nition of fair values of intangible assets is based on estimates of future cash flows generated by the assets. Measurement of ad-ditional purchase prices for acquisitions also requires the use of managerial estimates.

Application of New or Revised IFRS and InterpretationsIASB has published new or revised standards that the Group has not yet applied (amended IAS 12 Income Taxes; amended IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements; amended IAS 19 Employee Benefits; new IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; new IFRS 10 Consoli-dated Financial Statements; new IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; new IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; new IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Finan-cial Statements; amended IAS 28 Investments in Associates; and amended IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures). The Group ap-plies new or revised standards as of the effective date of each standard or interpretation or, when the effective date is other than the first day of the financial year, as of the first day of the financial year following the effective date of the standard. The re-visions are estimated to have no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

2.5.3 SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reporting SegmentsThe Group has two reporting segments that are also the Group’s strategic business areas:• Project Personnel business area provides project personnel

services for Oil & Gas companies in their large investment pro-jects worldwide.

• Consulting business area provides management and project management consulting and software for enterprise level management in the Nordic countries.

The Group’s reporting structure was changed in the fourth quar-ter of 2012 after the Group received a notice for a call of option to acquire the Group’s Norwegian subsidiary Safran Software Solutions AS. As of the fourth quarter of 2012, Safran Software Solutions, previously part of the Group’s Software business area, is reported under discontinued operations. Income statement comparatives for 2011 have been updated according to the new reporting structure.

The segment information presented here is based on the

Group’s internal financial reporting produced in accordance with IFRS standards. The Group does not allocate the parent company’s intra-Group charges to segments for the purposes of segment reporting. Unallocated expenses include customer agreements and relations and their amortization, share-based compensation recognized as expense in the income statement, financial items, and income taxes.

The assets and liabilities of a segment are business items that a segment uses in its business or that can be allocated to a seg-ment. Unallocated assets include customer agreements and rela-tions, capitalized research and development expenses, cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, and tax assets.

Pricing between segments is based on fair market price.

Key CustomersThe Group has two major customers, each of which accounts for more than 10% of the Group’s net sales. In 2012, the Group’s in-come from these customers was approximately EUR 45 million (approx. EUR 39 million in 2011) and is included in the Project Per-sonnel business area.

2.5.13.2 Diluted earnings per share

The potential increase in the number of shares caused by all instruments entitling to shares is taken into account when calculating the diluted earnings per share. The Group has instruments, share options, with the potential to increase the number of shares. An instrument has a dilutive effect when its subscription price is lower than the market value of the share. The weighted average number of shares and the dilutive effect are calcualted per quarter takin g into account those instruments that have an exercise price lower than the weighted average share price during that quarter. The dilutive effect is relative to the difference between the exercise price and the weighted aver-age share price. The total dilutive effect for the financial year or several quarters is calculated as a weighted average of quarterly values.

Impairment testingGoodwill is allocated to the Group’s Project Personnel and Con-sulting divisions. The testing has been performed at the year end, with December 31, 2012 as the testing date. The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is based on value-in-use calcu-lations. A cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independ-ent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The Group’s Project Personnel division consists of one and the Con-sulting division of two cash generating units. In the Consulting division, the division’s business operations in Finland and Sweden form one cash generating unit. The other cash generating unit consists of the division’s business operations in Norway.

The value-in-use calculations are based on the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used in testing is based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) after tax, which is

based on risk-free rate of return, operational risks, market risk pre-mium, comparable peer industry beta coefficient, cost of debt, and target capital structure. In 2012, the discount rate used was 9.00% (9.21% in 2011). The decrease in the discount rate was due to the lowering of the risk-free interest rate. The discount rate be-fore tax was between 11.73% and 12.52%.

Key variables used in testing are the rate of growth of net sales and EBIT %, which are based on the Group’s budget for 2013 and the Group’s strategic rates of growth for 2014-2017 approved by the Board of Directors. For the purposes of impairment testing, a portion of the expenses of the Group’s Other functions and a portion of the Group’s unallocated items have been allocated to the Group’s cash generating units. The variables are based on cur-rent business performance, the division’s position in the market, and the division’s potential for growth. The rates of growth used in testing are presented in the table below.

37

As a result of testing, no impairment losses were recognized in 2012. The sensitivity of the standard calculations has been tested by calculations using a higher discount rate, zero growth, and lower profitability. The management has estimated that no rea-sonably possible change of the key assumptions used would

cause the carrying value of the cash generating unit to exceed its recovarable amount. In the Project Personnel division, should its net sales not increase during the period of planning, a case for impairment loss would arise if the division’s profitability was halved and WACC increased by over 3%.

1) Dovre Group Options 2010 are divided into three classes. Under the A-series, a maximum of 900,000 stock options can be given, with the subscription price being the average rating in Q1/2010 and the subscription period March 1, 2012 - February 28, 2015. Under the B-series, a maximum of 775,000 stock options can be given, with the subscription price being the average rating in Q1/2011 and the subscription period March 1, 2013 - February 28, 2016. Under the C-series, a maximum of 775,000 stock options can be given, with the subscription price being the average rating in Q1/2012 and the subscription period March 1, 2014 - February 28, 2017.

Prior to closing the defined benefit plan a so-called corridor method was used, where the actuarial gains and losses were recognized as expenses in the income statement for the average remaining period of employment of each employee if the unrecognized accumu-lated actuarial net gains and losses exceeded the greater of either 10% of pension liabilities or 10% of the fair values of plan assets at the end of the previous financial year.

2.5.30 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

2.5.30.1 Financial Risk ManagementOperating internationally, Dovre Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, most importantly to foreign exchange risk. The pur-pose of financial risk management is to ensure that the Group has access to sufficient and cost-effective funding and to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Financial risks are managed centrally by the Group’s Treasury. Fi-nancial risk management is part of the Group’s operational man-agement.

Foreign exchange riskThe Group operates internationally and is thus exposed to risks arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities, and planned business transactions (transaction risk), and from the translation of income statement items and the items of the statement of financial position of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries (translation risk). The Group manages its foreign exchange risks in accordance with the Group’s currency hedging policy, which was approved by the Board of Directors in 2011. The purpose of the policy is to reduce the Group’s exposure to currency exchange rate fluc-tuations and to minimize the impact of movements in currency

exchange rates on the Group’s result and cash flows. Such cur-rency exchange risks that cannot be hedged internally within the Group will be managed through the use of foreign currency derivatives. The purpose is to minimize subsidiaries’ currency ex-change risks and to centrally hedge the Group’s transaction risks at the parent company.

Transaction risksA substantial part of the Group’s operations is local service busi-ness and is denominated in local functional currencies and does not therefore involve transaction risk. The Group’s internal loans and deposits are primarily initiated in the local currencies of the subsidiaries in which case the possible foreign exchange risks are hedged using foreign currency derivatives at the parent company.

The foreign exchange risk sensitivity analysis for the most impor-tant currency pairs, disclosed in accordance with IFRS 7, has been calculated for the Group’s foreign currency nominated financial assets and liabilities including foreign currency derivatives out-standing on the balance sheet date. The exposures in the most important currency pairs are disclosed in the table below. The foreign exchange risk sensitivity analysis presents the impact of a change in the foreign exchange rates of 10% and has been cal-culated before taxes. An estimated 10% change in the foreign exchange rates on the balance sheet date would have resulted in an impact of EUR 0.3 (0.4) million with the exchange rates strengthening and EUR -0.3 (-0.4) million with the exchange rates weakening.

Translation riskChanges in consolidation exchange rates affect the Group’s in-come statement, cash flow statement, and the statement of fi-nancial position, which are presented in euros, thus giving rise to translation risk. As the majority of the Group’s net sales occur in functional currencies other than the euro, the translation risk is significant for the Group. A change of 5% in the annual average foreign exchange rates used by Group would have caused a 4.6 (4.6) % change in the consolidated sales in euros in 2012. Such a change would not have had a material impact on the Group’s operating result. The translation of the subsidiaries’ balance sheets into euros caused a translation difference of EUR 0.3 (0.1) million in 2012. The translation difference was affected mainly by the Norwegian crown, which strengthened approx. 6%, and the Canadian dollar, which strengthened just under 5%. The trans-lation risk was not hedged during the financial year. The most significant translation risk exposures are in Canadian dollars and Norwegian crowns.

Interest rate riskThe Group did not have any non-current debt or interest-bearing receivables on balance sheet date.

Liquidity riskThe purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that the Group has access to sufficient liquid assets and credit facilities in order to guarantee sufficient funding of the Group’s business operations. The Group’s liquidity is controlled through cash and liquidity management. The Group’s liquidity remained strong in 2012.

On December 31, 2012, the Group’s cash and cash equiva-lents amounted to EUR 7.5 million (EUR 7.9 million in 2011). In addition, the parent company and subsidiaries have unused credit limits.

Customer credit riskA substantive part of the Group’s receivables are from a small number of customers. However, the Group does not consider there to be any significant concentrations of customer credit risk because the majority of its customers are large and financially solid companies. Customers’ creditworthiness is secured through

credit checks. Trade receivables are monitored centrally by Group functions. The Group does not provide customer financing.

Aging structure of the Group’s receivables and impairment losses recognized during the financial year are presented in Note 2.5.21 Trade and Other Receivables.

2.5.30.2 Capital Structure ManagementThe goal of the Group’s capital structure management is to ensure the Group’s liquidity in all market situations, to secure funding for the Group’s strategic investments, and to maintain the Group’s shareholder value. Capital structure management comprises the management of the Group’s solidity and liquidity. Capital struc-

ture is monitored by using the debt to equity ratio (gearing).On December 31, 2012, the Group’s interest-bearing net lia-

bilities were EUR -6.2 million (EUR -7.1 million in 2011). The Group’s debt to equity ratio (gearing) is calculated by dividing total in-terest-bearing net liabilities by total assets. Net liabilities include interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

Change in gearing in 2012 is mainly due to the increased interest-bearing liabilities and decreased cash and cash equivalents. Discontin-ued operations are not included in cash and cash equivalents in 2012.

The Group leases office and warehouse space under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. The leases have varying lenghts, index clauses, renewal rights, and other terms. In 2012, EUR 992 thousand in lease payments were recognized as expense in the income statement (EUR 650 thousand in 2011).

3.4 Notes to the Financial Statements of the Parent Company, FAS

3.4.1 Accounting PrinciplesThe financial statements of the parent company have been pre-pared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act and corpo-rate legislation.

Dovre Group Plc’s subsidiary Camako Oy was merged with the parent company in May 2012.

Foreign Currency TransactionsForeign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of ex-change prevailing on the date of transaction. At the end of the financial period, foreign currency assets and liabilities are translat-ed at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented under financing income and expense in the income statement.

Revenue RecognitionRevenue from services is recognized upon delivery to the cus-tomer. Revenue from licenses is recognized upon the granting of user rights when all the main risks and rewards of license owner-ship have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from mainte-nance is allocated to the contract period. Net sales include roy-alty fee charged from Group companies for intangible marketing property and for using the Dovre Group trademark. Royalties are recognized on an accrual basis and in accordance with the re-spective licensing agreement.

PensionsThe parent company’s pension schemes are funded through pay-ments to insurance companies. Statutory pension expenses are recognized as expense in the year they are incurred.

Fixed AssetsFixed assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated de-

preciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected economic useful lives of the assets as follows:

• Intangible assets (software) 3 years• Intangible assets (trademarks) 5 years• Merger assets 5 years• Other capitalized expenditure 3–5 years• Machinery and equipment 4 years

Trade ReceivablesTrade receivables are stated at the original invoiced amount to customers less doubtful receivables.

Derivative InstrumentsThe company hedges receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currency with different currency forward and option contracts. Derivatives are recognized under other receivables or payables at fair value on the date of trade. Outstanding deriva-tives are remeasured at their fair value at each balance sheet date and the resulting gain or loss is immediately recognized in the income statement under financial items. In determining the fair value of a derivative, the appropriate quoted market price is used, if available. Alternatively, fair value is determined using commonly used valuation methods.

TaxesIncome tax is recognized in accordance with Finnish tax legisla-tion. Taxes withheld in foreign jurisdictions are recognized as cost in the income statement if they cannot be utilized in taxation. The company has not recognized deferred tax assets for prior years’ losses.

The ultimate responsibility for accounting and financial ad-ministration lies with Dovre Group’s Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for internal control, and the CEO is responsible for the day-to-day organization and monitoring of the control sys-tem. The steering and monitoring of business operations is based on the reporting and business planning system that covers the entire Group. The CEO and CFO report monthly to the Board and the Executive Team on the Group’s financial situation and devel-opment.

The goal of financial reporting is to ensure that all assets and liabilities in the financial statements belong to the company; that all rights and liabilities of the company are presented in the finan-cial statements; that items in the financial statements have been classified, disclosed, and described correctly; that assets, liabilities, income, and expenditure are entered in the financial statements at the correct amounts; that all transactions during the reporting period are included in the accounts; that transactions entered in the accounts are factual transactions; and that assets have been secured.

Risk Management and Internal Audit SystemThe Group’s risk management is guided by legal requirements, business requirements set by shareholders of the company, and the expectations of customers, personnel, and other important stakeholders. The goal of risk management is to acknowledge and identify systematically and comprehensibly risks involved in the company’s operations and to make sure that these risks are appro-priately accounted for when making business decisions.

Risk management supports the achievement of strategic goals and seeks to ensure the continuity of business operations. The Group takes risks that are a natural part of its strategy and ob-jectives. The Group is not ready to take risks that might endanger the continuity of its operations, risks that are uncontrollable, or risks that may significantly harm the Group’s operations.

In accordance with Dovre Group’s risk management proce-dures, the Board of Directors receives an annual report of the most significant risks facing the Group. The Board analyses the risks from the point of view of shareholder value. The most significant risks that have come to the Board’s knowledge in 2012 pertain to maintaining the Group’s competitiveness in the changing market situation, global frame agreements, new market openings, key personnel, IT systems, and the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Risk AssessmentThe goal of financial reporting is to ensure that all assets and lia-bilities in the financial statements belong to the company; that all rights and liabilities of the company are presented in the financial statements; that items in the financial statements have been clas-sified, disclosed, and described correctly; that assets, liabilities, in-come, and expenditure are entered in the financial statements at the correct amounts; that all transactions during the reporting peri-od are included in the accounts; that transactions entered in the ac-counts are factual transactions; and that assets have been secured.

The company’s risk management process includes an annual identification and analysis of risks pertaining to financial reporting. In addition, risk assessment aims analyze and report all new risks immediately as soon as they have been identified. Taking into ac-count the quality and extent of the Group’s business operations, the most significant risks pertaining to the reliability of financial reporting relate to revenue recognition, bad debt provision, im-pairment testing (including goodwill), and tax reporting.

Control FunctionsThe correctness and reliability of financial reporting are ensured through compliance with Group policies and guidelines. Control functions that ensure the correctness of financial reporting in-clude controls related to accounting transactions, the selection of and compliance with the accounting principles, information sys-tems, and fraud controls.

Revenue recognition is supervised by the CFO and is based on the required sale and delivery documents.

The Group’s bad debt provision is reviewed quarterly. Bad debt calculations are based on the ageing of trade receivables per sales company.

The Group’s goodwill is tested for impairment at the end of each financial year on the balance sheet date. Key variables used in the calculations are the estimated change rates of net sales and costs. In addition, indications of impairment are continuously monitored. If indications of impairment are detected, a separate testing is performed. In calculating the company-specific deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate of each country is applied. De-ferred tax assets have not been recognized for the Group’s losses as it has been estimated that a future use of the losses is not prob-able in near future.

The performance of business operations and attainment of annual goals is assessed monthly in Executive Team and Board meetings. Monthly management and Board reporting includes both the actual and the estimated results compared to the tar-geted and the actual results of previous periods. Financial reports generated for the management are used for monitoring certain key indicators associated with the development of sales, profit-ability, and trade receivables on a monthly basis.

In accordance with its business strategy, Dovre Group may complement its organic growth with business acquisitions. In making acquisitions, the Group follows due diligence and utilizes its internal and external competence in the planning phase (e.g. due diligence), takeover phase, and when integrating acquired functions into the Group’s operations.

CommunicationThe goal of management reporting is to produce up-to-date, relevant information for decision-making. The CFO provides the Group’s business units with monthly reporting guidelines and is in charge of any special reporting instructions related to budget-ing and forecasting. The Group’s financial administration distrib-utes, on a regular basis, information on processes and procedures pertaining to financial reporting. Internal control tasks are carried out in accordance with this information. Financial administration also arranges targeted training for the organization’s personnel on the procedures associated with financial reporting and changes in them, if necessary. The Group’s investor relations maintains, in co-operation with the Group’s financial administration, the guidelines on the disclosure of financial information, including, for example, the communication responsibilities of a publicly listed company.

MonitoringMonitoring refers to the process of assessing Dovre Group’s in-ternal control system and its performance in the long term. The Group continuously monitors its operations also through various separate assessments, such as internal and external audits, and sup-plier audits carried out by customers. The Group’s management monitors internal control as part of its day-to-day management. The Executive Team is responsible for ensuring that all operations comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Group’s financial administration monitors compliance with the financial reporting processes and control. The financial administration also monitors the correctness of external and internal financial reporting. The Board of Directors assesses and ensures the appropriateness and effectiveness of the Group’s internal control and risk management.

The Group’s internal control is also assessed by the Group’s external auditor. The auditor verifies the correctness of external an-nual financial reporting. The most significant observations and rec-ommendations of the audit are reported to the Board of Directors.

Insider AdministrationDovre Group’s insider guidelines comply with the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Guidelines for Insiders effective as of October 9, 2009. The insider guidelines forbid insiders, including persons under their guardianship and companies where they exercise control, to trade in shares or option rights issued by the company during the period from the closing date of an interim or annual account-ing period to the date of publication of the interim report or fi-nancial statements release for that period. The minimum period concerned (so-called “closed window”) is always four (4) weeks prior to the date of publication of an interim report or financial statements release.

The Group’s public insider register includes members of the Board of Directors, CEO, members of the Executive Team, the sec-retary of the Board of Directors, and the auditor in charge of the company of public accountants. In addition, the Group maintains a company-specific insider register that includes those employees who regularly receive insider information through their work. Per-sons, who are involved in acquisitions or other projects that have an effect on the valuation of the Group’s shares, are considered project-specific insiders and are subject to a temporary trading suspension.

8. Auditor’s report

To the Annual General Meeting of Dovre Group PlcWe have audited the accounting records, the financial state-ments, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administra-tion of Dovre Group Plc for the year ended 31 December 2012. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, state-ment of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, cash flow state-ment and notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing DirectorThe Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsi-ble for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Finan-cial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropri-ate arrangement of the control of the company’s accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the ac-counts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial state-ments, on the consolidated financial statements and on the re-port of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements of profession-al ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good audit-ing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of as-sociation of the company.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evi-dence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial state-ments and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assess-

ment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appro-priate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of account-ing policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presenta-tion of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suf-ficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the consolidated financial statementsIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

Opinion on the company’s financial statements and the report of the Board of DirectorsIn our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidat-ed and the parent company’s financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the finan-cial statements.
