ADVANCE INFORMATION ON THE NET SALES OF THIRD QUARTER. ESTIMATE OF THE NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT FOR THE FULL YEAR IS CHANGED

Stonesoft Corporation's product sales for the third quarter were approximately 5.6 million euros and grew by approximately 18%. The net sales for the quarter were about 9.2 - 9.3 million euros, equaling 14-16% growth. The growth was lower than expected because of postponed purchase decisions by some clients.

Based on the current outlook the company expects the net sales to grow by 25 - 32 % in 2012 and the full year operating result (EBIT) to be close to zero.

The presented advance information is unaudited and it is not based on an interim report approved by the Board of Directors.
