ETTEPLAN OYJ’S CHANGEOVER TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

Stock exchange release – Published: 22.04.2005 14:30:20

ETTEPLAN OYJ'S CHANGEOVER TO INTERNATIONAL
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

The Etteplan Group will publish its first financial statements
in line with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
for the financial year ending on 31 December 2005. The interim
reports for 2005 will be drafted in accordance with IFRS
recognition and measurement policies. This bulletin presents
the preliminary comparative information for 2004 in accordance
with the IFRS recognition and measurement policies in force
in March 2005 as well as the reconciliation calculation for
the consolidated result and shareholders' equity as at 
31 December 2004. The Etteplan Group's opening balance sheet
dated 1 January 2004 was presented in an earlier bulletin on
25 February 2005.

The figures in the income statement and balance sheet which
have been drafted in line with Finnish Accounting Standards
(FAS) have been regrouped to correspond to IFRS.

The IFRS figures have not been audited.

PRINCIPAL IMPACTS OF THE TRANSITION TO IFRS ON THE ACCOUNTING
POLICIES APPLIED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The principal changes in the accounting policies and figures
are due to the standards concerning construction contracts, 
business combinations, employee benefits and leases.

Under FAS, the balance sheet total was EUR 28,073 thousand
at the end of 2004. The adoption of IFRS increased the
balance sheet total by EUR 22 thousand to EUR 28,095 thousand.
The transition to IFRS increased shareholders' equity by
EUR 635 thousand at the end of 2004, primarily due to the
discontinuation of goodwill amortization and the adoption of
percentage of completion recognition in construction contracts.

Under FAS, the net profit in 2004 was EUR 2,574 thousand. The
IFRS adjustments amounted to EUR 637 thousand; in other words,
the net profit in accordance with IFRS was EUR 3,211 thousand.
The effect of IFRS on the earnings per share reported for 2004
is EUR 0.15.

1. Treatment of acquisitions

The acquisition cost calculations of subsidiaries acquired
prior to 1 January 2004 have not been recalculated in
accordance with IFRS 3, but have been left unchanged as per
the exemption permitted under IFRS 1. In the IFRS financial
statements, goodwill on consolidation will no longer be
amortized, but will be subjected to an impairment test.
Cash-generating units have been tested for impairment as
at 1 January 2004 and 30 September 2004 and there were no
grounds for recognizing impairment. Amortization of goodwill
of EUR 454 thousand for 2004 under FAS has been reversed.

2. Intangible assets

The decrease in intangible assets is due to the transfer of
capitalized basic improvement expenses of rented properties
into tangible assets in the opening IFRS balance sheet.

3. Leases (IAS 17)

Assets leased with agreements that are classified as finance
lease agreements have been capitalized in property, plant
and equipment in the balance sheet at the fair value of the
rented asset or the present value of the minimum rents, 
whichever is lower. Rental obligations arising from finance
lease agreements are presented in interest-bearing non-
current and current liabilities. Finance leasing leads to
depreciation and interest expenses on assets capitalized
during the financial periods. Assets acquired by means of
a finance lease agreement are depreciated over their economic
lifetime. If the Group does not assume ownership of the asset
at the end of the lease period, depreciation is recorded over
the lease period or the economic lifetime, whichever is shorter.

4. Construction Contracts (IAS 11)

Under FAS, revenue from contract work has been recognized as
income when the recipient of the project has approved the work
performed under the contract agreement. Incomplete construction
contracts are recognized under work in progress in inventories
in the balance sheet. In IFRS reporting, contracts whose outcome
can be assessed reliably are recognized as income and expenses
on the basis of the percentage of completion on the reporting
date. The percentage of completion of a contract is evaluated
on the basis of project progress and the proportion of working
hours completed to the total number of hours required to
complete the contract. In the case of contracts whose outcome
cannot be assessed reliably, the amount of revenue recognized
does not exceed the expenses. The total loss on a contract that
will probably turn a loss is expensed immediately.

5. Employee Benefits (IAS 19)

Pension insurance policies handled through insurance companies
are primarily defined contribution plans. The exception to this
comprises defined-benefit occupational pension arrangements
under the Finnish Employees' Pension Act (TEL), which are
booked as current liabilities on the basis of actuarial
calculations. Revisions to the accounting policy applied to
occupational disability pension commitments will come into
force on 1 January 2006 in the TEL system, and as a result, the
TEL disability element will be treated as a defined-contribution
scheme in the IFRS financial statements. Consequently, the bulk
of the occupational disability pension commitments are recognized
in the last quarter of 2004.

6. Income Taxes (IAS 12)

In the IFRS balance sheet, deferred taxes have been recognized
on all the temporary differences between accounting and taxation.
The major differences compared with the previous practice are
due to the deferred tax asset recorded on pension commitments
and the deferred tax liability recorded on the basis of the
percentage of completion recognition of construction contracts.
The tax base in force at the time of calculation is used to
determine the deferred taxes.

Segment reporting

The Etteplan Group's primary segment reporting is based on
business areas. The segments are Product Development and
Delivery Design. Secondary segment reporting is based on
geographical segments: Finland, Sweden, Germany and Other.
The revenue and results of the primary segments are
published in the interim reports. 

Cash flow statements

It is estimated that there are no material differences
between the cash flow statements drafted in line with
IFRS and FAS.

The note numbers in the quarterly information refer to
the IFRS accounting policies presented above.
