LÄNNEN TEHTAAT TO INTRODUCE NEW SEGMENT FORMAT IN ITS REPORTING

Because of the major changes that have taken place in its Group structure
during this year, Lännen Tehtaat has decided to transfer to a new segment
format in its financial reporting. The change will apply to both the primary
and secondary reporting form. 

The primary reporting form is still based on business and the reporting
segments from 2007 are: Frozen Foods, Fish Products, Vegetable Oil and Other
Operations. The Frozen Foods segment includes Apetit Pakaste Oy and the section
allocated to it from Apetit Suomi Oy. Fish Products includes Apetit Kala Oy,
the section allocated to Fish Products from Apetit Suomi Oy and the Norwegian
group Maritim Food AS, which became part of the Group at the beginning of
March. Mildola Oy forms the Vegetable Oil operations. Other Operations include
the Group Administration and the joint unallocated operations of the Group. 

The geographical segment format from the beginning of the year is: Finland,
Scandinavia, the Baltic States and Russia, and Other Countries. 

Because of the sale of the majority of shares of Suomen Rehu Ltd and Avena
Nordic Grain Oy in January, the Suomen Rehu Group (without Mildola) and the
Avena Nordic Grain Group will be reported as discontinued operations and
available-for-sale assets. 

Quarterly comparative information for 2006 based on the new segment format will
be published by the end of April. 

Lännen Tehtaat's first quarterly report for 2007 will be published on May 8,
2007.
