PANOSTAJA'S SEGMENT REPORTING TO BE RENEWED                                     


As of the financial period 1 November 2009 - 31 October 2010, starting with the 
first-quarter review, the business operations of Panostaja Group shall be       
reported in fourteen segments, which are: digital printing services, safety,    
HEPAC wholesale, Takoma, added-value logistics, spare parts for motor vehicles, 
heat treatment, mounts, fixtures, supports, carpentry industry, environmental   
engineering, technochemistry and others. The new reporting segments have been   
assembled because they mutually produce various products and services.          

The yields from the Safety segment are made up of safety technology and related 
services.                                                                       

The yields from the HEPAC Wholesale segment are based on the wholesale business 
in the HEPAC field.

The yields from the Digital Printing Services segment are mainly made up of the 
sales in digital printing services.                                             

The Mounts segment yields are composed from wholesale operations in construction
and fitting mounts.                    

The yields from the Added Value Logistics segment derive from services in metal 
industry manufacture and logistics.                                             

The yields from the Heat Treatment segment are composed from metals-based heat  
treatment services and the development, manufacture and marketing of machines   
and equipment required in such heat treatment.                                  

The yields from the Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles segment derive from the      
import, wholesale and retail activities of original spare parts and accessories 
for motor vehicles.                                                             

The yields from the Environmental Engineering segment are based on the sale of  
waste and property maintenance equipment solutions.                             

The yields from the Carpentry Industry segment derive from the manufacture of   
products for the carpentry industry.                                            

The yields in the Supports segment are collected from the import, manufacture   
and wholesale activities in the HEPAC field.                                    

The yields from the Fixtures segment are derived from the sales and services    
respective to fixture accessories and related products.                         

The yields from the Technochemistry segment are based on the development,       
manufacture and marketing of industrial chemicals intended for professional use.

Parent company and unspecified items are reported in the Other segment.         

The Group does not have any geographical segment distributions, since business  
operations are practised only minimally abroad.                                 

Panostaja's 1 November 2009 - 31 January 2010 quarterly review shall be released

Of the business profit on the Group's fourth quarter, MEUR 4.2 was composed of  
sales from the Group's properties realised in October 2009. Sale of properties  
affected the business profit of the segments as follows: HEPAC Wholesale MEUR   
1.4, Added Value Logistics MEUR 0.7, Carpentry Industry MEUR 0.1, Supports MEUR 
0.8, Fixtures MEUR 0.1 and Other MEUR 1.1.                                      

The business profit of the fourth quarter in the Technochemistry segment was    
weakened by the depreciation entry resulting from the acquisition of Oy Alfa-Kem
Ab of MEUR -0.5.
