CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

facilities in Tampere. The Board of Directors decided to proceed with the
initiative to the execution phase on March 11, 2010. The total value of the
investment will be EUR 50 million maximum. Most of the investment will be
carried out in 2011 and 2012. The new printing facility is estimated to be
operational in 2013.
RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The purpose of Alma Media Corporation's risk management activities is to
continuously evaluate and manage all opportunities, threats and risks in
conjunction with the company's operations to enable the company to reach its set
objectives and to secure business continuity.
The risk management process identifies the risks, develops appropriate risk
management methods and regularly reports on risk issues to the risk management
organisation. Risk management is part of Alma Media's internal audit function
and thereby part of good corporate governance. Written limits and processing
methods are set for quantitative and qualitative risks by the corporate risk
management system.
The most critical strategic risks for Alma Media are a significant drop in the
readership of its publications, a decline in advertising sales and a significant
increase in distribution and delivery costs. Fluctuating economic cycles are
reflected on the development of advertising sales, which accounts for
approximately half of the corporation's net sales. Developing businesses outside
Finland, such as in the Baltic countries and other East European countries,
include country-specific risks relating to market development and economic
growth.
In the long term, the media business will undergo changes along with the
transformation in media consumption and technological developments. The Group's
strategic objective is to meet this challenge through renewal and the
development of new business operations in online media. The most important
operational risks are disturbances in information technology systems and
telecommunication, and an interruption of printing operations.
ADMINISTRATION
Alma Media Corporation's ordinary Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on March
11, 2010 elected Lauri Helve, Kai Seikku, Erkki Solja, Kari Stadigh, Harri
Suutari, Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén and Seppo Paatelainen members of the
company's Board of Directors. In its constitutive meeting held after the AGM,
the Board of Directors elected Kari Stadigh its Chairman and Seppo Paatelainen
its Deputy Chairman.
The Board also elected the members of its committees. Kai Seikku, Erkki Solja,
Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén and Harri Suutari as chairman were elected
members of the Audit Committee. Seppo Paatelainen and Lauri Helve, as well as
Kari Stadigh as chairman, were elected members of the Nomination and
Compensation Committee.
Except for Kari Stadigh, the Board of Directors has evaluated the persons
elected to the Board of Directors to be independent of the company and its major
shareholders. Kari Stadigh is evaluated to be independent of the company but not
independent of a significant shareholder.
Mikko Korttila, General Counsel of Alma Media Corporation, was appointed
secretary to the Board of Directors.
The AGM appointed Ernst & Young Oy as the company's auditors.
Oy Herttaässä Ab, a company holding more than 10% of the shares in Alma Media,
proposed to the AGM that a special audit should be conducted regarding the
operations of the Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Alma Media Corporation for the last five years. The AGM considered
the proposal, and as the shareholding of Oy Herttaässä Ab exceeds 10%, the
proposal was recorded in the meeting minutes. On April 15, 2010, Alma Media
received notification that Oy Herttaässä Ab has submitted an application for the
special audit to the Regional State Administrative Agency of Southern Finland.
Alma Media has submitted its answer to the Regional State Administrative Agency
of Southern Finland.
On August 19, 2010, Alma Media Corporation held an Extraordinary General Meeting
(EGM) at the request of Oy Herttaässä Ab, a shareholder of Alma Media. The
meeting decided not to change the composition of the Board of Directors. Mr Kai
Telanne, President and CEO of Alma Media, presented to the EGM a clarification
regarding the investment in the new printing facility at the request of Oy
Herttaässä Ab. Since the investment belongs under the general jurisdiction of
the Board of Directors, and as the Board of Directors had not submitted the
matter for approval by the EGM, the EGM made no decisions on the matter.
The district prosecutor of Helsinki decided on July 1, 2010 to charge Mr Kai
Telanne, President and
CEO of Alma Media, on suspicion of discrimination at work in connection with the
termination of a
director contract .
Alma Media Corporation applies the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed
companies, issued by the Securities Market Association on June 15, 2010, in its
unaltered form. Alma Media has published its Corporate Governance Statement for
2009 separately in connection with the Report by the Board of Directors.

ACQUIRED BUSINESSES JANUARY 1 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
In April 2010, Alma Media acquired the business operations of Tyrvään Sanomat,
and in June 2010, a controlling majority of 65 % in Kotikokki.net Oy.
In March 2010, Alma Media acquired a 60-% shareholding in the Swedish company
Marknadspriser i Sverige AB. Because of the future mandatory share redemption
liability derived from the purchase and shareholder agreements, Marknadspriser i
Sverige AB will be consolidated as a 100 % subsidiary and its estimated
redemption price is included in the total consideration given and the
conditional debt arising from the price.
The purchase prices of the acquired business operations consist of cash
considerations in the amount of MEUR 1.5, purchase options of MEUR 1.0 and a
conditional purchase price debt of MEUR 0.1, totalling MEUR 2.6. The conditional
purchase price debt is recognised at fair value through profit or loss.
The recoverable amounts of intangible assets recorded for the consolidation of
business operations mainly consist of trademarks, IT applications acquired and
customer agreements. The goodwill created through the acquisitions, MEUR 2.2, is
affected by the estimated synergy benefits to be realised from the acquired
businesses. The operating profit of the acquired businesses has been MEUR 1.0
from the respective dates of purchase by Alma Media. The Group's January-
September net sales would have been approximately MEUR 228.8 (228.3 reported)
and operating profit MEUR 13.7 (13.6 reported) if the acquisitions had been made
in the beginning of 2010.

MAIN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (IFRS)
This interim report has been prepared according to IFRS standards (IAS 34).
The report applies the same accounting principles and calculation methods as the
previous annual accounts dated December 31, 2009, with the exception of the
standards and interpretations applied from January 1, 2010 as listed below. The
interim report does not, however, contain all the information or notes to the
accounts included in the annual financial statements. This interim report should
therefore be read in conjunction with the company's annual report.
The key indicators are calculated using the same formulae as applied in the
previous annual financial statements. The quarterly percentages of Return on
Investment (ROI) and Return on Equity (ROE) have been annualised using the
formula ((1+quarterly return)4)-1). The figures in this interim report are
independently rounded.
The accounting principles of the financial years 2010 and 2009 are comparable.
The company has no discontinued operations to report in the 2009-2010 financial
periods. The appendices summarise the information for the comparison periods by
segment according to both the new and the old segment structure.
The Group has applied the following standards and interpretations from January
1, 2010:
IFRS 3 (2008) Business Combinations
IAS 27 (2008) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged
Items, amended
IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers
IFRS - Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009)
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment
Transactions, amended
The impact of the above new standards and IFRIC interpretations on the Group has
been marginal. The amendments to IFRS 3 have affected the accounting of
corporate acquisitions during the 2010 financial period, such as goodwill and
costs related to the acquisitions.
The figures in this interim report are unaudited.
SEASONALITY
The Group recognizes its circulation revenues as paid. For this reason
circulation revenues accrue in the income statement fairly evenly during the
four quarters of the year. The bulk of circulation invoicing takes place at the
beginning of the year and therefore the cash flow from operating activities is
strongest in the first and second quarters. This also affects the company's
balance sheet position in different quarters.
GENERAL STATEMENT
This report contains certain statements that are estimates based on the
management's best knowledge at the time they were made. For this reason they
contain a certain amount of risk and uncertainty. The estimates may change in
the event of significant changes in the general economic conditions.
NEXT INTERIM REPORT
Alma Media will publish its financial statements bulletin of 2010 on Wednesday,
February 16, 2011.
