INTERIM REPORT OF ATRIA PLC 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2010                            


DISPUTES RELATING TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN FINLAND WEIGHED DOWN ATRIA'S      
PERFORMANCE, ATRIA RUSSIA'S FULL-YEAR OPERATING LOSS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE    

- disputes relating to collective bargaining weighed down Atria Finland's Q2 net
sales and EBIT                                                                  
- Atria Scandinavia's Q2 EBIT improved significantly                            
- despite the sluggish market development of meat products in Russia, Atria     
Russia's net sales over the first half of the year increased by more than 16 per
cent, but the full-year operating loss is predicted to increase from last year  
- the full-year EBIT of the Group in 2010 is expected to remain at the 2009 EBIT
level.

Review Q2/2010                                                                  

Atria Group's Q2 net sales decreased by 6 per cent from last year and amounted  
to EUR 317.0 million (EUR 337.4 million). Atria Finland's net sales decreased   
due to disputes relating to collective bargaining in the spring; net sales      
declined by 11.3 per cent in comparison to the Q2 period of the previous year.  
Atria Scandinavia's net sales fell year-on-year by 3.5 per cent. In the local   
currency, the decline was 12.7 per cent. The discontinuation of the salad and   
sandwich business in June 2009 and reduced sales of consumer-packed meat were   
the most important reasons for the weak development of net sales. Atria Russia's
net sales increased by 23 per cent in Q2/2010. In the local currency, the growth
in net sales was 8.7 percent. Despite the sluggish market development of meat   
products, Atria Russia's sales volumes grew and Atria's market shares have      
slightly strengthened.                                                          

Atria Group's EBIT was EUR 4.7 million. Atria Finland's result decreased        
principally due to the sales lost because of disputes relating to collective    
bargaining. Atria Scandinavia's year-on-year result improved clearly, as last   
year's Q2 EBIT included EUR 2.9 million of non-recurring costs associated with  
the discontinuation of the salad and sandwich business. Atria Russia's EBIT     
weakened on the previous year. The development is mainly explained by the       
tightened market situation and increase in raw material prices as well as       
start-up costs relating to the new Gorelovo plant. Atria Baltic's EBIT improved 
year-on-year.                                                                   

Atria Group's net sales and EBIT in 2010 are predicted to remain at the 2009    
level. The main reason for the weakening of the predicted EBIT is Atria Russia's
weakened result forecast for the remainder of the year. Atria Russia's full-year
operating loss is expected to grow from last year. Negative market development  
and tightened competition have made it more difficult to implement price        
increases in Russia and, therefore, it has not been possible to pass on the rise
in raw material prices to the sales prices. This year's performance is also     
burdened by the costs of the new plant and increased investments in marketing.  
Atria Russia's euro-denominated loss is also increased by the strengthened      
Russian rouble. Additionally, the industrial action in the second quarter and   
its impact on orders during the summer season may still weaken Atria Finland's  
Q3 result.

Atria Finland's Q2 net sales fell year-on-year by 11.3 per cent. In April and   
May, Atria's production came to a halt for a total of 10 days due to disputes   
relating to collective bargaining, which was the main reason for the decline in 
net sales. The overtime ban in force until the end of the strike also weakened  
the development of net sales. Sales in June were also lower than predicted, as  
the impacts of the strike in the range of products for sale, and thus in        
customer orders, were still evident in June.                                    

Q2/2010 EBIT weakened due to low production and sales volumes caused mainly by  
the strike. Additionally, the year-on-year average price of the product range   
has been lower. Cost-efficiency has remained at a good level throughout the     
first half of the year due to earlier efficiency improvements. Given the        
circumstances, profitability has been satisfactory.                             

Market shares of the Atria product groups remained nearly at the previous year's
level during the early part of year, and Atria has been able to maintain its    
market share in food markets. According to Atria's estimates the market share of
Atria products in retail trade was approximately 25 per cent. During the strike 
and even during June and July, Atria temporarily lost some of its market share. 
Raw material prices have remained stable.                                       

The industrial actions in the second quarter and their impact on orders during  
the summer season may weaken Atria Finland's Q3 result.

Atria Scandinavia's Q2/2010 net sales fell year-on-year by 3.5 per cent. This   
was mainly caused by the discontinuation of the salad and sandwich business in  
June 2009 and decreased sales of consumer-packed meat. On the other hand, the   
strengthening of the Swedish krona improved net sales over the previous year. In
the local currency, net sales weakened by 12.7 per cent year-on-year.           

The Q2/2010 EBIT showed a clear year-on-year increase. The Q2/2009 EBIT included
EUR 2.9 million of non-recurring costs associated with the discontinuation of   
the salad and sandwich business. Despite the decreased sales volume, the        
operative EBIT was at the previous year's level.                                

During the period, Atria Scandinavia announced an investment of a total of EUR  
1.6 million in the automation of the cold cut production line at the Halmstad   
plant and in the automation of meat product and hamburger production at the     
Sköllersta plant. The investments will be carried out during the second half of 
2010, and annual cost savings will amount to EUR 0.9 million. As a result of    
these measures, the number of jobs at the Halmstad plant is expected to be      
reduced by 6 and at the Sköllersta plant by 24.                                 

The efficiency programme launched during Q1/2010 is proceeding according to the 
plan. As a result of the efficiency programme Atria Scandinavia will discontinue
the production of consumer packed meat and the plant in Årsta will be closed by 
the end of October.                                                             

Atria Scandinavia's brands have kept their market shares. The food market in the
Swedish retail trade has not developed as well as last year. The development of 
the foodservice market has been negative year-on-year.

Atria Russia's Q2 net sales grew by 23 per cent in comparison to the previous   
year. The growth was partly due to the strengthening of the Russian rouble      
against the euro and partly to the increased sales both in St Petersburg and in 
Moscow. In the local currency, net sales grew by 8.7 per cent year-on-year.     

The Q2 EBIT was negative EUR 2.7 million (Q2/2009 EUR -1.9 million). The        
performance is a result of sluggish market demand, weakened margins and start-up
costs relating to the new Gorelovo plant.                                       

The sales of meat products in the Russian market began to decrease last year,   
due to recession in the Russian retail trade. The market fell by about 10 per   
cent in volume in 2009 both in St Petersburg and Moscow. In the first quarter of
2010, the market has still declined by about 10 per cent (source: Business      
Analytica 1.-4.2010).                                                           

Atria's market share increased slightly in the St Petersburg area retail trade  
over the period January-April 2010 and was at the level of about 20 per cent.   
The market share strengthened also in Moscow and was around 3 per cent (source: 
Business Analytica 1-4.2010).                                                   

The sales of reclosable cold cut products has commenced in Moscow. The products 
are sold under the Campomos trademark, and they are equivalent to cold cuts that
have been sold successfully for a long period in St Petersburg under the        
Pit-Product trademark.                                                          

New, cooked minced meat products (meat balls, hamburger steaks and kebabs) will 
be launched during Q4/2010. These will be completely new types of products in   
the Russian market. The launch will strengthen Atria Russia's position as a     
producer of fresh convenience foods.                                            

The inauguration of the new Gorelovo production plant was held on 20 April 2010,
and commercial sales of the products have begun. The fixed costs of the new     
plant amount to approximately EUR 4 million a year.                             

Atria Russia's full-year operating loss is expected to grow from last year.     
Negative market development and tightened competition have made it more         
difficult to implement price increases in Russia and, therefore, it has not been
possible to pass on the increased raw material prices to the sales prices. This 
year's performance is also burdened by the costs of the new plant and increased 
investments in marketing. Marketing costs are expected to increase by           
approximately EUR 3 million in 2010. Additionally, Atria Russia's               
euro-denominated loss is also increased by the strengthened Russian rouble. The 
rate of the Russian rouble against the euro at the beginning of the year was    
10.5 per cent stronger than the average rate in 2009.

Atria's year-on-year net sales in Estonia fell by 6.7 per cent. Compared to     
Q1/2010, net sales increased by almost 30 per cent, which is due to the increase
in the sales of consumer-packed meat and in the sales volumes of the summer     
season.                                                                         

The year-on-year EBIT has improved but is still at an unsatisfactory level. The 
efficiency improvement programmes launched at the end of last year and beginning
of this year have generated cost savings. Closing of the Ahja plant and         
centralising the production to the Valga and Vastse-Kuuste production plants    
proceeded according to the plan and the generated savings will have an impact as
of June 2010.                                                                   

Atria's market shares in Estonia have remained stable. In cold cuts, the market 
share is around 18 per cent. The market share of grill sausages has grown during
the summer season (source: AC Nielsen).

Board Martti Selin; Vice Chairman Timo Komulainen; members Tuomo Heikkilä, Esa  
Kaarto, Maisa Romanainen, Harri Sivula and Matti Tikkakoski.                    

Financing                                                                       

According to Atria's financing policy, the Group's objective is to focus        
financing in the parent company Atria Plc. In accordance with the policy, Atria 
Scandinavia AB paid off an approximately EUR 18 million equivalent loan and     
Atria Plc raised a seven-year loan of EUR 15 million. At 30 June 2010, the      
amount of undrawn committed credit limits stood at EUR 104.6 million.           

Short-term business risks                                                       

The industrial action in the Finnish food industry may still hamper the Q3 sales
development.                                                                    

If the sluggishness in the meat product market continues in Russia, it will     
weaken the demand of Atria's products in Atria customerships.                   

The export restrictions imposed by the Russian authorities on Finnish foods do  
not have a significant impact on Atria's business. The share of the Russian     
export in Atria Group's net sales is small.                                     

Otherwise, no significant changes have occurred in Atria Group's short-term     
business risks compared with the risks described in the financial statements of 
2009.                                                                           

Outlook for the future                                                          

The industrial action in the Finnish food sector affected Atria's sales and     
performance in the second quarter of the year and may still hamper the Q3 sales 
development. If the sluggishness in the meat product market continues in Russia,
it will weaken the increase in Atria Russia's sales volumes. In addition, the   
company's decision to discontinue production of consumer-packed meat in Sweden  
will cut Atria Scandinavia's annual net sales in the second half of the year. On
the other hand, the strengthening of the Russian rouble and Swedish krona has   
increased the Group's euro-denominated net sales. The Group's net sales in 2010 
are therefore forecast to remain at the 2009 level.                             

As an exception to earlier guidance, the Group's EBIT in 2010 is predicted to   
remain at the 2009 EBIT level. The main reason for the weakening of the         
predicted EBIT is Atria Russia's weakened result forecast for the remainder of  
the year. Atria Russia's full-year operating loss is expected to grow from last 
year. Negative market development and tightened competition have made it more   
difficult to implement price increases in Russia and, therefore, it has not been
possible to pass on the increased raw material prices to the sales prices. This 
year's performance is also burdened by the costs of the new plant and increased 
investments in marketing. Atria Russia's euro-denominated loss is also increased
by the strengthened rate of the Russian rouble. The industrial actions in the   
second quarter and their impact on orders during the summer season may still    
weaken the Q3 result of Atria Finland.                                          

Decisions of the General Meeting                                                

The AGM approved the financial statements and the consolidated financial        
statements for 2009 and discharged the members of the Supervisory Board and the 
Board of Directors as well as the President and CEO from liability for 2009.    

The AGM approved that a dividend of EUR 0.25 be paid for each share for the     
financial year 2009. Dividends are paid to shareholders who are entered on the  
record date for the payment of dividends in the Company's shareholder register  
kept by Euroclear Finland Oy. The record date for the payment of dividends was  
4 May 2010 and the date of payment was 11 May 2010                              

In accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, 
a firm of Chartered Public Accountants, was elected as the company's auditor    
until the closing of the next AGM. The audit firm has notified that the auditor 
with the principal responsibility shall be Authorised Public Accountant Juha    
Wahlroos.                                                                       

The AGM approved the Board of Directors' proposal on the authorisation of the   
Board of Directors to make a donation of a maximum amount of EUR 150,000 to the 
operation of universities or other educational institutions.                    

The General Meeting decided that the composition of the Supervisory Board would 
be as follows:

A total of 19 members.                                                          


The AGM decided that the fees payable to the members, Vice Chairman and Chairman
of the Supervisory Board will remain unchanged. The fees are EUR 250 per        
meeting, the compensation for loss of working time EUR 250 per meeting and      
proceeding day, the fee payable to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board EUR    
3,000 per month and the fee payable to the Deputy Chairman EUR 1,500 per month. 

Board of Directors' valid authorisations for share issue and the granting of    
special rights                                                                  

The General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide, on one or      
several occasions, on an issue of a maximum of 12,800,000 new A shares or on any
A shares held by the company through a share issue and/or by granting option    
rights or other special rights entitling people to shares as referred to in     
Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act. The authorisation will be exercised 
for the financing or execution of any acquisitions or other arrangements or     
investments related to the company's business, for the implementation of the    
company's incentive programme or for other purposes subject to the Board's      
decision.                                                                       

The authorisation includes the Board of Directors' right to decide on any terms 
and conditions of the share issue and the issue of special rights referred to in
Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act. The authorisation thus also 
includes the right to issue shares in a proportion other than that of the       
shareholders' current shareholdings in the Company under the conditions provided
by law, the right to issue shares against payment or without charge and the     
right to decide on a share issue without payment to the Company itself, subject 
to the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act on the maximum amount of treasury
shares.                                                                         

The authorisation shall supersede the share issue authorisation granted by the  
Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2009 to the Board of Directors, and be valid 
until the closing of the next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than   
30 June 2011.                                                                   

Purchase of treasury shares and valid authorisations                            

The General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide, on one or      
several occasions, on the acquisition of a maximum of 2,800,000 of the Company's
own Series A shares with funds belonging to the Company's unrestricted equity,  
subject to the provisions of the Companies Act regarding the maximum number of  
treasury shares to be held by a company. The Company's own Series A shares may  
be acquired for use as consideration in any acquisitions or other arrangements  
relating to the Company's business, to finance investments, as part of the      
Company's incentive scheme, to develop the Company's capital structure, to be   
otherwise further transferred, to be retained by the Company or to be cancelled.

The shares shall be acquired in a proportion other than that of the             
shareholders' current shareholdings in the Company in public trading arranged by
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd at the trading market price of the moment of            
acquisition. The shares shall be acquired and paid according to the rules of    
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd and Euroclear Finland Oy. The Board of Directors was    
authorised to decide on the acquisition of own shares in all other respects.    

The authorisation shall supersede the authorisation granted by the Annual       
General Meeting on 29 April 2009 to the Board of Directors to decide on the     
acquisition of own shares and be valid until the closing of the next Annual     
General Meeting; however, no longer than 30 June 2011.                          

Amendment of the Articles of Association                                        

The AGM approved the Board of Directors' proposals for amendments to the        
Articles of Association Articles 13 and 15 of the Articles of Association were  
amended to read as follows:                                                     

Article 13: Venue of General Meetings, notice of meeting and registration

three (3) months and at the latest three (3) weeks before the General Meeting,  
however, no later than nine (9) days prior to the record date for the General   
Meeting. In addition, the Board of Directors may decide to publish the notice,  
or delivery notification of the notice, in one or more national newspapers

right to participate in a General Meeting, a shareholder must register with the 
Company no later than on the day mentioned in the notice of meeting, which can  
be no earlier than ten (10) days before the meeting.

Accounting principles                                                           

This interim report was prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting standard. In preparing this interim report, Atria has applied the same
principles as in preparing the 2009 annual financial statements. However, as of 
January 2010, the Group has adopted the new and revised standards published by  
the IASB that are included in the accounting principles for the 2009 annual     
financial statements and have not had any material impact on the figures        
presented for the period.                                                       

The principles and formulae for the calculation of key indicators have not      
changed, and they are presented in the 2009 annual financial statements. The    
figures given in the interim report are unaudited.
