Matti Karppinen, CEO:
“The Group's business and profitability improved as forecast. Due to the best
quarterly result in the history of the Grains and Oilseeds business and the
improved performance of the Seafood business, the second-quarter operating
profit, excluding non-recurring items, was better than the same quarter a year
ago and better than the first quarter of this year, as had been expected.
Consolidated net sales were up 17% year on year. Net sales increased
substantially not only in the Grains and Oilseeds business, but also in the
Seafood business.
As a result of the decisions made in April to improve the efficiency of the
Seafood business in Finland and Norway, non-recurring expenses of EUR 1.7
million were recognised in the second-quarter profit. The efficiency
improvement measures aim at an annual profit increase of approximately EUR 1.4
million starting from the third quarter.
By improving our efficiency and concentrating our operations, and by
strengthening our position in the fresh fish trade in Finland and carrying out
essential price rises, we believe we will make our Seafood business
profitable.”

NET SALES AND PROFIT
April-June:
Consolidated net sales in the second quarter amounted to EUR 93.5 (80.0)
million, an increase of 17% on the same quarter in 2010. This was a result of
net sales increases in both the Grains and Oilseeds business and the Seafood
business.
The Group´s operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, was EUR 2.1 (1.0)
million. Non-recurring items totalled EUR -1.7 (0.0) million. The operating
profit includes EUR 0.3 (0.3) million as the share of the profits of associated
companies. The profit, excluding non-recurring items, for both the Seafood
business and the Grains and Oilseeds business was up on the second-quarter
figures of a year earlier. The corresponding figures for the Frozen Foods
business and Other Operations segment were slightly down year on year.
January-June:
Consolidated net sales in January-June amounted to EUR 177.5 (154.9) million,
up by 15%.
The operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, was EUR 3.0 (1.9) million.
The operating profit includes EUR 0.1 (0.2) million as the share of the profits
of associated companies. Non-recurring items totalled EUR -1.7 (0.0) million.
The non-recurring items for the review period were related to the Seafood
business.
Net financial income and expenses were EUR -0.9 (0.1) million. This figure
includes valuation items of EUR -0.1 (0.7) million with no cash flow
implications. Financial expenses also include EUR -0.6 (-0.5) million as the
share of the Avena Nordic Grain Group's profit attributable to the employee
owners of Avena Nordic Grain Oy. Due to changes in ownership during the review
period, the employee owners' holding in Avena Nordic Grain Oy rose from 14.6%
to 17.1%.
Profit before taxes was EUR 0.4 (2.1) million. The profit for the period was
EUR 0.0 (1.4) million, and earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.03 (0.24).
FINANCING AND BALANCE SHEET
The Group's liquidity was good and its financial position is strong.
The cash flow from operating activities after interest and taxes amounted to
EUR 15.5 (8.6) million in January-June. The impact of the change in working

million.
PERSONNEL
The average number of personnel in the review period was 607 (603).
OVERVIEW OF OPERATING SEGMENTS

EUR million Q2 Q2 Q1-Q2 Q1-Q2 Q1-Q4
2011 2010 2011 2010 2010
Net sales 11.2 11.0 23.8 23.8 45.1
Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items 0.0 0.3 0.3 0.6 3.4
Second-quarter net sales in the Frozen Foods business were slightly up on the
figure for the same quarter of 2010. Sales were up in all distribution channels
with the exception of retail sector sales, which were slightly lower than in
the comparison period. Owing to new products, the best sales performance was in
frozen ready meals and frozen vegetables and berries to the hotel, restaurant
and catering sector.
The second-quarter operating profit was down year on year due to the product
mix in sales and a significant rise in the raw material and energy prices,
which had only been partly compensated by price rises carried out early in the
year. Due to increased costs, there are still pressures for price increases.
Second-quarter overhead costs were increased by marketing inputs in the Apetit
Finnishness campaign.
Net sales in January-June were on a par with the same period in 2010. Sales of
frozen vegetables and berries were up year on year. Due to decreased sales of
frozen potato products and frozen pizza, retail trade product sales were down
on the previous year's figure. Strong growth continued in the hotel, restaurant
and catering sector.
The operating profit for January-June was slightly below the figure of a year
earlier.
Due to the favourable weather conditions of the growing season, the harvest
outlooks of Finnish contract farms look good at the moment. The first spinach
crop harvested at the end of June was excellent. Pea threshing and processing
is in progress, and the targeted quantity of good-quality peas will be
deep-frozen. The potato and root crop growing season is continuing in Finland.
The exceptionally warm and dry weather of the spring and early summer caused
losses in several vegetable crops in parts of Europe. Due to high demand, the
market prices of, for instance, sweet peppers and maize have risen
significantly. In Europe, the coming root crop is forecast to correspond to
demand.
The average number of personnel in Frozen Foods during January-June was 193
(181).
Investment totalled EUR 1.3 (0.6) million during the period. The most
significant items were replacement investments in frozen vegetable production
and energy efficiency improvements.
Seafood
EUR million Q2 Q2 Q1-Q2 Q1-Q2 Q1-Q4
2011 2010 2011 2010 2010
Net sales 22.3 18.4 41.6 37.4 80.9
Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items -0.2 -1.1 -0.7 -1.1 -1.8
The second-quarter net sales of the Seafood business were up by 21% on the
figure for the same quarter in 2010. Net sales were up in the Finnish,
Norwegian and Swedish Seafood businesses.
The approximate 35% increase in the net sales of the Finnish Seafood business
was a result of increased volumes, price increases and the integration of
Myrskylän Savustamo into the Group at the start of June 2010. Unlike the
previous year, Easter sales occurred in the second quarter. Net sales were
reduced by the lower number of Kalatori service counters compared with the
previous year.
In the Norwegian and Swedish Seafood businesses, net sales were up slightly
both in euro terms and measured in local currencies. The removal of the
unprofitable smoked fish product segment was compensated by 8-12% growth in
other product groups. Sales of dressings grew by over 30%, an exception among
the product groups.
Due to the improved performance of the Finnish Seafood business, the Seafood
business's second-quarter operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was
up by EUR 0.9 million year on year. However, the Seafood business's result,
excluding non-recurring items, was a loss of EUR -0.2 million.
The Finnish Seafood business's second-quarter operating profit, excluding
non-recurring items, improved year on year as a result of an increased gross
margin and decreased overhead costs. The Taimen Group's effect on the quarterly
result was minor. The Finnish Seafood business's profit performance was
adversely affected by the poor availability and high price of rainbow trout raw
materials at the start of the period, and the price of Norwegian salmon, which
fluctuated substantially during the spring and summer. The bankruptcy of a
company that provided logistics services led to a temporary deterioration in
delivery reliability in May-June. Delivery performance returned to normal at
the end of the review period.
The Norwegian and Swedish Seafood's second-quarter operating profit, excluding
non-recurring items, was at the level of the same quarter in 2010. A decrease
in overhead costs compensated for the weakening in gross margin that resulted
from higher raw material and packaging material prices than the year before.
For the time being, increased costs have been only partially offset by
increased sales prices. Product redesigns and measures to improve profitability
and cost-effectiveness are continuing in the Norwegian and Swedish units.
The second-quarter non-recurring items totalled EUR -1.7 (0.0) million. A
cost-efficiency programme was implemented at Apetit Kala Oy to cut overheads.
Maritim Food AS decided to concentrate Norwegian production at one plant in
Fredrikstad. These measures aim at achieving annual savings of about EUR 1.4
million, starting from the third quarter. The Seafood business's efficiency
improvement measures are described in greater detail in the stock exchange
releases dated 6 April 2011 and 15 April 2011 and in the Interim Report
published on 5 May 2011.
Seafood's net sales for January-June were up by 11% on the same period in 2010.
Net sales of the Finnish Seafood business were up by 20%. Net sales of
Seafood's Norwegian and Swedish operations in euros were at about the level of
a year earlier. Measured in local currencies, net sales were down due to the
removal of smoked fish products from the product selection. Due to product
redesigns, good performance continued in the other product groups.
Seafood's January-June operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was up
on the previous year's level, but loss-making. The Finnish Seafood business
improved its result, year on year. The share of the profit of associated
companies was EUR 0.1 (-0.1) million. The January-June operating profit of the
Norwegian and Swedish Seafood businesses, excluding non-recurring items, was
lower than in the previous year due to the poor first quarter.
The number of personnel in the Seafood business averaged 346 (352).
Investment in the Seafood business totalled EUR 0.4 (0.6) million. The main
items during the period were replacement investments at different production
plants in Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Grains and Oilseeds

2011 2010 2011 2010 2010
Net sales 60.0 50.5 111.9 93.5 181.9
Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items 2.8 2.2 5.3 4.1 7.2
Second-quarter net sales in the Grains and Oilseeds business were up by 19%
year on year. This growth was attributable to large deliveries and higher
market prices than the year before. The majority of the net sales originated
from exports and trading outside Finland.
The second-quarter operating profit of the Grains and Oilseeds business was
better than a year before and the best of all time. The good result was
attributable to the large deliveries and the realisation of synergy benefits
from combining the Grains and Vegetable Oil businesses.
The net sales in January-June were up by 20% year on year due to increased
market prices. Operating profit was EUR 1.2 million better than a year earlier.
During the review period, Avena Nordic Grain Oy decided to expand its area of
supply by establishing a subsidiary in Ukraine. The aim is to increase Avena's
trading opportunities by expanding the acquisition of grains and oilseeds from
the Ukrainian market. Avena already has subsidiaries in Estonia, Lithuania,
Russia and Kazakhstan.
In the early summer, the prices of grains and oilseeds decreased substantially
compared with the spring. The reason for this is more favourable weather
conditions as the growing season progressed, and especially the activation of
the Black Sea export market after Russia removed the export ban that had been
in force during the last crop year, and after Ukraine had replaced export
quotas with export duties. The EU's grain crop is anticipated to be at last
year's level, but the oilseed crop is expected to decline by 1.5 million tonnes
from last year, and to remain at 26.5 million tonnes. In Finland, the growing
season has, on average, been favourable, and grains' crop outlooks are
generally good. The oilseeds crop is estimated to decline in Finland by 30%
from the record-breaking previous year. Hardly any surplus grains and oilseeds
are on sale anymore. The new crop is expected to bring plenty of trading
opportunities as available production quantities and qualities vary in the
different market areas.
The Grains and Oilseeds business employed an average of 58 (60) people in the
first six months of the year.
Investment totalled EUR 1.0 (0.4) million in January-June and focused on the
packaging plant being constructed at the Kirkkonummi vegetable oil mill.

The Other Operations segment comprises the service company Apetit Suomi Oy,
Group Administration, items not allocated under any of the business segments,
and the associated companies Sucros Ltd and Ateriamestarit Oy. The cost of
services produced by Apetit Suomi Oy is an encumbrance on the operating profit
of the Group's businesses in proportion to their use of the services.
Net sales from the sale of services were at the previous year's level.
The EUR -0.5 (-0.4) million operating profit for April-June includes EUR 0.3
(0.4) million as the share of the profits of associated companies.
The EUR -2.0 (-1.6) million operating profit for January-June includes EUR 0.1
(0.3) million as the share of the profits of associated companies.
The segment's investment totalled EUR 0.0 (0.1) million.

Accountants, with Tomi Moisio, APA, CPFA as responsible auditor, were appointed

SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
In accordance with the IAS 2 standard, the historical cost of inventories
includes a systematically allocated portion of the fixed production overheads.
In production that focuses on seasonal crops, raw materials are processed into
finished products mainly during the final quarter of the year, which means that
the inventory volumes and their balance-sheet values are at their highest at
the end of the year. Since the entry of the fixed production overheads included
in the historical cost as an expense item is deferred until the time of sale,
most of the Group's annual profit is accrued in the final quarter. The seasonal
nature of operations is most marked in Frozen Foods and in the associated
company Sucros, due to the link between production and the crop harvesting
season.
In the Seafood business, the sales of Apetit Kala Oy and Myrskylän Savustamo Oy
peak at weekends and on holidays. A significant proportion of the entire year's
profit in the Seafood business depends on the success of the Christmas season.
Due to the growing season for fish, only a small amount of the profit
accumulated for the Taimen Group, which reports as an associated company,
normally accrues during the summer months. As Easter can take place in either
the first or the second quarter, this can affect the comparability of net sales
and profit in the Frozen Foods and Seafood businesses between different years.
Net sales in the Grains and Oilseeds business vary from one year and quarter to
the next to a greater extent than in the other businesses, being dependent on
the demand and supply situation and on the price levels domestically and on
other markets.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The most significant short-term risks for the Lännen Tehtaat Group concern the
following: the management of raw material price changes and currency risks;
availability of raw materials; the impact of the rise in energy prices; the
price competition of the seafood market; the change in the production plant
structure of the Norwegian company; the solvency of customers and the delivery
performance of suppliers and service providers; changes in the Group's business
sectors and customer relationships; and corporate acquisitions and the
subsequent integration processes.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE REVIEW PERIOD
There have been no significant events since the end of the review period.
ASSESSMENT OF PROBABLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The Group's net sales will be affected particularly by the level of activity in
the grain and oilseed markets and by changes in the price level of grains and
oilseeds.
Thanks to the measures taken to develop the Group's different businesses, and
thanks to the corporate acquisitions made in 2010, the full-year operating
profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to be better than the
previous year's level. Profit accrual is expected to be weighted heavily
towards the last quarter of the year, as in 2010.
The profit for the financial year will be depressed by non-recurring costs
associated with the Seafood business's efficiency improvement measures reported
in the second quarter. There were no non-recurring costs in 2010.
