ALMA MEDIA CORPORATION              PRESS RELEASE

                                                            2 April

Kauppalehti's circulation increasing

Kauppalehti's audited circulation for 2006 was 81.377 marking an
increase of 0.5 %, or 371, on the 2005 audit.

Ms Riitta Alfthan, Kauppalehti's circulation director, says that the
factors underlying the positive development in circulation were a
reduction in cancelled orders and strong circulation sales."The reduction in cancellations indicates that readers are pleased
with the paper's continuous content development. There also seems to
be plenty of interest in paying to receive reliable business and
financial information even though business information distributed
free of charge is on the increase."

The final Finnish newspaper audit for 2006 will be published in the
next few days.
