The decrease in consolidated sales revenue was caused by a decrease in sales
and commissions in the production segment, which accounted for about 90% of
sales revenue this year. Around 83% of the sales revenue came from the
production and sale of electrical equipment. In 2013, the production and sales
volume of electrical devices was 40.0 million euros, being 4.1 million euros
lower compared to the reference period. The greatest setbacks in the production
volumes of electrical devices occurred in the segments of Finland (-2.2 million
euros) and Lithuania (-1.2 million euros).
Home markets were still dominant. Export markets lost some of their
significance and their development will depend largely on the activeness of our
key clients in the respective countries.
In 2013, one-off projects in Belgium, Malaysia, Belarus and Switzerland were
concluded, but also some new projects were started in the United States.
Deliveries to Norway and Russia have increased, and in the last couple of years
these countries have increasingly joined the Group's other target markets.
63% of the Group's products and services were sold in foreign markets, outside
Estonia (2012: 66%) and 93% revenues received from the Group's companies home
markets - Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Lithuania.
In the reporting quarter, the operating expenses decreased by 2.5% to 12.1
million euros, including the cost of sales by 4.5% to 10.2 million euros. In

euros were written off. All in all, the distribution costs and administrative
expenses were stable, on the same level as a year before; costs related to sold
products decreased by 4.3 million euros (a tenth) and operating expenses
totally by 8.5% to 46.5 million euros.
As at the balance day on 31 December, there were 451 people working in the
Group, which were 27 employees less than in the beginning of the year. In Q4

less than in the reference period. During the 12 months, the average number of
employees increased by 3 persons up to 455 employees. Labour costs decreased by
1.6% to 2.9 million euros in accounting quarter and by 4.3% to 11.4 million
euros during 12-months period. In the fourth quarter, employee wages and
salaries totalled 2,247 (Q4 2012: 2,314) thousand euros and during the 12
months 8,645 (2012: 9,139) thousand euros. The average wages per employee per
month amounted 1,584 (2012: 1,684) euros.
During 12 months, the amount of the consolidated balance sheet increased by

of the growth derived from value adjustment of long-term financial investments.
