On the basis of the profit performance for the first half-year, the full-year operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, from the Group's continuing operations is expected to be at around the previous year's level.” With the profit of the Grains and Oilseeds business being better than expected, the continuing operations' third-quarter operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, is about EUR 1.3 (0.3) million, based on preliminary figures. Expectations regarding the Group's full-year operating profit remain unchanged. The preliminary figures are unaudited and are not based on an interim report approved by the Board of Directors. Lännen Tehtaat plc's interim report for 1 January - 30 September 2009 will be published on 6 November 2009 at 8.30 am.
