- Full-year net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring items are

GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE                                       
Second quarter                                                                  
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the second quarter increased by 1.3% to EUR  
149.0 million (EUR 147.1 million). Operating profit was EUR 8.8 million (EUR    
14.9 million), representing 5.9% (10.1%) of net sales, and operating profit     
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 11.8 million (EUR 14.8 million). Earnings 
per share were EUR 0.14 (EUR 0.26).                                             

The healthy demand for commissioned property maintenance assignments boosted net
sales, resulting in a slight growth from the comparison period. However,        
profitability declined from the previous year in all divisions, particularly in 
Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) due to the weak demand for wood-based   
fuels.                                                                          

A non-recurring expense of EUR 3.0 million was recognised in the second quarter 
for the discontinuation of L&T Biowatti's wood pellet business.                 

January-June                                                                    
Six-month net sales amounted to EUR 302.9 million (EUR 293.5 million), showing  
an increase of 3.2%. Operating profit was EUR 15.4 million (EUR 24.9 million),  
representing 5.1% (8.5%) of net sales. Operating profit excluding non-recurring 
items fell to EUR 19.6 million (EUR 26.0 million). Earnings per share were EUR  
0.25 (EUR 0.42).                                                                

Net sales grew due to commissioned property maintenance assignments. Demand for 
services and secondary raw materials began to normalise, which helped raise the 
net sales of the Environmental Services division to the previous year's level.  
L&T Biowatti and the joint venture L&T Recoil recorded losses, which taxed the  
performance in the first half.                                                  

Costs recognised in the first half included non-recurring restructuring costs of
EUR 1.2 million and an EUR 3.0 million cost associated with the discontinuation 
of the wood pellet business.                                                    
FINANCIAL SUMMARY

* Breakdown of operating profit excluding non-recurring items is presented below
the division reviews.                                                           


NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION                                 

Environmental Services                                                          

Second quarter                                                                  
The division's net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.0% to EUR 75.6   
million (EUR 74.1 million). Operating profit was EUR 10.1 million (EUR 10.9     
million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 10.1       
million (EUR 10.9 million).                                                     

Net sales from domestic business grew somewhat from the previous year due to the
recovery of operating rates in the industry and the recovery of the             
construction. Waste volumes picked up from the comparison period, and secondary 
raw material demand and prices also improved. The additional costs arising from 
the ERP system implementation project taxed the quarter's performance.          

Demand for industrial process cleaning and hazardous waste services perked up as
expected after a period of sluggish demand in the first quarter. New agreements 
were signed with industrial clients and existing agreements were renewed        
successfully.                                                                   

Operational reliability of L&T Recoil's production improved during the second   
quarter. The price of the plant's end-product, base oil, has been rising,       
following the crude oil price hikes. Nonetheless, operations made a loss in the 
second quarter.                                                                 

In April, Lassila & Tikanoja plc and EcoStream Oy signed a preliminary agreement
on a business arrangement based on which L&T will sell its share of L&T Recoil  
to EcoStream. At the end of the quarter, the time given for the transaction was 
extended and the arrangement is now intended to be completed by the end of      
September 2010, on condition that, among others, the financing and the share    
issue needed by EcoStream for the transaction will be completed. Due to the     
preliminary agreement, L&T Recoil's assets are recognised as held-for-sale      
assets and related liabilities.                                                 

Net sales and profitability of the division's international operations remained 
on the previous year's level.                                                   

January-June                                                                    
The net sales of Environmental Services for January-June decreased by 0.5% to   
EUR 140.2 million (EUR 141.0 million). Operating profit was EUR 14.5 million    
(EUR 17.4 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR  
14.9 million (EUR 18.4 million).                                                

The expected increase in waste volumes in the first half could be attributed to 
the recovery of operating rates in the industry and the recovery of the         
construction industry. Similarly, secondary raw material demand and prices      
strengthened in comparison to the previous year. Heavy snowfall in the winter   
strained waste management production efficiency in the first half, and          
contributed to the decrease in demand for industrial services. Net sales and    
profitability in the comparison period were boosted by major project-based      
assignments.                                                                    

The joint venture L&T Recoil's re-refinery suffered from technical problems in  
the first half. Production restart-up was delayed until the beginning of the    
second quarter, which had a considerable negative impact on the division's      
profitability.                                                                  

The second stage of the Kerava recycling plant's investment programme proceeded 
as planned. A new combined recycling plant for construction waste and trade and 
industrial waste will be brought on line in the second half of the year, which  
will significantly raise the recovery rate of the waste processed at the Kerava 
plant.                                                                          

Net sales and profitability for international operations remained at the        
previous year's level even though the uncertainty of the Latvian economy has    
been a challenge for business development.                                      

Net sales and profitability for environmental products declined.                


Property and Office Support Services                                            

Second quarter                                                                  
The net sales of Property and Office Support Services (property maintenance and 
cleaning services) grew by 5.3% to EUR 63.7 million (EUR 60.5 million) in the   
second quarter. Operating profit was EUR 3.3 million (EUR 4.3 million), and     
operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 3.3 million (EUR 4.3     
million).                                                                       

The division's net sales growth could be attributed to successful sales of      
commissioned property maintenance assignments and to the great work load in     
damage repair services. Net sales from cleaning services in Finland remained at 
the previous year's level. Although operating profit from domestic operations   
fell due to the higher cost of subcontracting, a strict fixed cost control      
helped retain healthy profitability.                                            

Net sales from international operations remained at the previous year's level   
but overall result was slightly in the red. New sales were successful in Sweden 
but in Latvia the economic instability hampered new sales.                      

January-June                             
The January-June net sales of Property and Office Support Services totalled EUR 
135.2 million (EUR 121.7 million); an increase of 11.1%. Operating profit was   
EUR 7.1 million (EUR 7.7 million), and operating profit excluding non-recurring 
items was EUR 7.4 million (EUR 7.9 million).                                    

The division's net sales growth can almost entirely be attributed to the large  
number of commissioned property maintenance assignments, due to the             
exceptionally cold and snowy winter. Both product lines were able to renew their
contracts and new partnerships with insurance companies were signed. In domestic
operations, profitability was slightly lower than in the comparison period due  
to the additional costs associated with commissioned assignments.               

Net sales from international operations in the first half were at the comparison
period's level. New sales continued to be successful in Sweden in the second    
quarter. Nonetheless, the result from international operations was negative. An 
EUR 0.7 million credit loss was recognised for the first half in Russian        
operations.                                                                     


Renewable Energy Sources                                                        

Second quarter                                                                  
Second quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by
17.7% to EUR 12.1 million (EUR 14.7 million). The division recorded an operating
loss of EUR 3.9 million (EUR 0.3 million), and an operating loss excluding      
non-recurring items of EUR 0.9 million (a profit of EUR 0.2 million).           

The division's net sales and profitability declined due to the weak demand for  
wood-based fuels. The low prices of competing fuels (peat, coal and oil) had a  
negative effect on demand. Furthermore, the prices of emission rights continued 
to be low.                                            

A decision was made to discontinue the wood pellet business due to the          
unfavourable market conditions and the poor availability of raw materials. A    
non-recurring expense of EUR 3.0 million was recognised for the discontinuation.

January-June                                                                    
The Renewable Energy Sources division's net sales for January-June amounted to  
EUR 32.2 million (EUR 35.8 million), showing a decrease of 9.9%. Operating loss 
totalled EUR 4.8 million (a profit of EUR 0.4 million), and operating loss      
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.7 million (a profit of EUR 0.8 million).

The demand for L&T Biowatti's biofuels and their competitiveness declined in the
first half due to the low prices of emission rights and fossil fuels (peat, coal
and oil). Profitability improvement has been the division's key priority.

FINANCING                                                                       

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 30.4 million (EUR 36.2     
million). EUR 2.1 million was released from the working capital (EUR 2.3 million
tied up). Liquid assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 14.4 million   
(EUR 23.4 million).                                                             

The assets and liabilities of the joint venture L&T Recoil are presented as     
held-for-sale assets and related liabilities, which is why interest-bearing     
liabilities fell to EUR 112.6 million (EUR 152.8 million). The interest-bearing 
liabilities associated with L&T Recoil amounted to EUR 20.9 million and are not 
included in the interest-bearing liabilities referred to above. The equity ratio
was 43.8% (41.6%) and the gearing rate 47.5 (64.9). Net interest-bearing        
liabilities amounted to EUR 98.2 million, showing a decrease of EUR 31.2 million
from the comparison period and EUR 18.1 million from the turn of the year.      
Of the EUR 50 million commercial paper programme, EUR 4.0 million (EUR 0.0      
million) was in use. The EUR 15.0 million committed limit, renewed in June for  
two years, was not in use, as was the case a year earlier.                      

Net finance costs in January-June amounted to EUR 2.0 million which is EUR 0.9  
million below the amount of the comparison period. Net finance costs were 0.7%  
(1.0%) of net sales. The decrease resulted from the decrease in the             
interest-bearing liabilities and the decline in the interest rate level. In     
January-June, a total of EUR -0.2 million (EUR -0.3 million) arising from the   
changes in the fair values of interest rate swaps to which hedge accounting

In 2005, 600,000 share option rights were issued, each entitling its holder to  
subscribe for one share of Lassila & Tikanoja plc. In the beginning of the      
exercise period, 37 key persons held 200,000 2005C options. L&T Advance Oy, a   
wholly-owned subsidiary of Lassila & Tikanoja plc, holds 30,000 2005C options   
and these options will not be exercised. The exercise period for the 2005A has

shares may increase by a maximum of 200,000 new shares, which is 0.5% of the    
current number of shares. The 2005C options have been listed on NASDAQ OMX

as per the dividend record date, be reduced by the amount of dividend which     
exceeds 70% of the profit per share for the financial period to which the       
dividend applies. However, only such dividends whose distribution has been      agreed upon after the option pricing period and which have been distributed     
prior to the share subscription are deducted from the subscription price. The   
exercise price shall, however, always amount to at least EUR 0.01. The exercise 
period will be from 1 November 2010 to 31 May 2012.                             
As a result of the exercise

Share-based incentive programme                                                 
Lassila & Tikanoja plc's Board of Directors decided on 24 March 2009 on a       
share-based incentive programme. The programme includes three earnings periods  
one year each, of which the first one began on 1 January 2009 and the last one  
ends on 31 December 2011. The basis for the determination of the reward is      
decided annually. Rewards to be paid for the year 2010 will be based on the EVA 
result of Lassila & Tikanoja group. They will be paid partly as shares and      
partly in cash. The proportion paid in cash will cover taxes arising from the   
reward. The programme covers 25 persons.                                        

A maximum total of 180,000 Lassila & Tikanoja plc shares may be paid out on the 
basis of the programme. The shares will be obtained in public trading, and      
therefore the incentive programme will have no diluting effect on the share     
value.                                                                          

Shareholders                                                                    
At the end of the financial period, the company had 8,439 (6,927) shareholders. 
Nominee-registered holdings accounted for 10.3% (8.8%) of the total number of   
shares.                                                                         

Authorisation for the Board of Directors                                        
The Annual General Meeting held on 31 March 2010 authorised Lassila & Tikanoja  
plc's Board of Directors to make decisions on the repurchase of the company's   
own shares using the company's unrestricted equity and on the issuance of these 
shares. Shares will be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the existing 
shareholdings of the company's shareholders in public trading on the NASDAQ OMX 
Helsinki Ltd at the market price quoted at the time of the repurchase.          

The Board of Directors is authorised to repurchase and transfer a maximum of    
500,000 company shares, which is 1.3% of the total number of shares. The        
repurchase authorisation will be effective for 18 months and the share issue    
authorisation for four years. These authorisations revoke the authorisation for 
the repurchase of the company's own shares and the authorisation to issue shares
issued by the Annual General Meeting 2009.                                      

The Board of Directors is not authorised to launch a convertible bond or share  
option rights.                                                                  

Own shares                                                                      
At the end of the period, the company held 60,758 of its own shares,            
representing 0.2% of all shares and votes. Based on the authorisation given by  
the Annual General Meeting, the company repurchased 80,000 shares in the period 
from 17 May to 2 June 2010 at a total acquisition cost of EUR 1.1 million. On 25
May 2010, the Board of Directors decided on a directed bonus issue involving the
issue, in which a total of 49,242 shares held by the company were issued to the 
company's key personnel on 4 June 2010, as a part of the rewards for the year   
2009 of the share-based incentive programme.

proposed by the Board of Directors, be paid for the financial year 2009. The    
dividend payment date was resolved to be 14 April 2010.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, were elected auditors.

The Annual General Meeting approved the Board's proposals to amend article 11 of
the Articles of Association and to authorise the Board of Directors to

The resolutions of the Annual General Meeting were announced in more detail in a
stock exchange release on 31 March 2010.                                        


BOARD OF DIRECTORS

the Board elected Matti Kavetvuo as Chairman and Heikki Bergholm and Hille      
Korhonen as members of the remuneration committee.                              


SUMMARY OF STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 7, CHAPTER 2 OF THE      
SECURITIES MARKETS ACT                                                          

In a release published on 25 January 2010, the company announced that it has    
concluded statutory employer-employee negotiations which began on 8 December    
2009. As a result of these negotiations, L&T will reduce 110 salaried employee  
positions in Finland. The reductions will be realised partly through natural    
attrition. The reductions form part of the measures currently undertaken in     
order to reduce fixed costs and to adapt business activities to meet current and
future market situation.                                                        

In a release published on 1 April 2010, the company announced that, as of 1 July
2010, Property and Office Support Services are to be divided into two divisions:
Property Maintenance, and Cleaning and Office Support Services. The company's   
financial reporting segments will be changed to reflect the new divisions as of 
1 July 2010.                                                                    

In a release published on 29 April 2010, the company announced that Lassila &
Tikanoja plc and EcoStream Oy have signed a preliminary agreement on a business 
arrangement based on which Lassila & Tikanoja will sell its 50 percent holding  
in the joint venture L&T Recoil Oy to EcoStream, a co-owner. The transaction    
related to the preliminary agreement was intended to be completed by the end of 
June 2010. In a release published on 22 June 2010, the company announced that   
the time given to the transaction has been extended and the transaction is      
intended to be completed by the end of September 2010.                          

In a release published on 26 May 2010, the company announced that L&T Biowatti  
Oy, a subsidiary of Lassila & Tikanoja plc, will discontinue its wood pellet    
business. Construction of a pellet plant in Suonenjoki, Finland, is almost      
completed but market situation and difficulties in availability of suitable raw 
material have postponed the start-up of the plant. The construction of the plant
will not be completed.                                                          


NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTIES                                                         

In Property and Office Support Services, the number of commissioned assignments 
may fall despite the economic recovery. Rapid fluctuations in demand for        
services purchased by the industry may hamper the planning and implementation of
work.                                                                           

If the operating rate target set for L&T Recoil's production is not reached,    
this will have a negative impact on the Environmental Services division's       
performance. Its performance could also be adversely affected by the potential  
fall in the price of crude oil, since the price of base oil follows crude oil   
price developments with a slight delay.                                         

Low prices of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and peat undermines the            
competitiveness of L&T Biowatti's wood-based fuels. Similarly, the low wholesale
price of electricity and low price of emission rights will weaken demand.       

Intensifying competition and changes in legislation in Latvia may prove         
detrimental to the profitability of the waste management business.              

More detailed information on L&T's risks and risk management is available in the
Annual Report, in the Board of Directors' Report and in the consolidated        
financial statements.                                                           


PROSPECTS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR                                              

In the Environmental Services division, the market outlook for waste management 
and recycling services for the rest of the year has improved. Waste volumes are 
expected to grow. The demand for secondary raw materials and the market prices  
are expected to recover moderately. In light of the rising operating rates in   
the industry, it is fair to assume that the demand for hazardous waste and      
process cleaning services will grow.                                            

An approximately one-month maintenance shut-down at the joint venture L&T       
Recoil's plant scheduled to start in August will improve the plant's reliability
and raise the degree of processing. The plant was not yet in operation in the   
second half last year, and the joint venture recorded significant losses.       
The markets for Property and Office Support Services are expected to remain     
unchanged towards the year-end. However, in the current economic conditions the 
competitive situation will remain fierce.                                       

The demand for L&T Biowatti's wood-based fuels is estimated to remain weak.     
Furthermore, low prices of emission rights and fossil fuels will undermine the  
competitiveness of renewable fuels. While the planned government support        
measures to increase the use of renewable fuels are expected to have a positive 
impact in the long term, they will not affect this year's performance.          

Full-year net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring items are      
expected to remain at the same level as in 2009.

held-for-sale assets and related liabilities. The interest-bearing liabilities  
associated with L&T Recoil totalling EUR 20.9 are not included in the           
interest-bearing liabilities.                                                   


ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                             

This interim financial report is in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial    
Reporting standard. The same accounting policies as in the annual financial     
statements for the year 2009 have been applied. These interim financial         
statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS standards and         
interpretations as adopted by the EU. The following amendments to standards that
have become effective in 2009 have had an impact on the financial statements in 
this interim report:                                                            

IFRS 3 (Amendment) Business combinations                                        
The standard contains several significant changes to the treatment of business  
combinations effected after the adoption of the amended standard and they have a
material impact on the Group's financial statements. The amendments affect the  
amount of goodwill to be recognised from acquisitions and items recognised in   
the income statement both in the period of the acquisition and in the periods   
where additional payments or additional acquisitions are made. For example, a   
contingent consideration is recognised at acquisition-date fair value and       
revaluations, if any, are recognised through profit or loss. Transaction costs  
such as attorney's and consultant's fees are no longer included in the          
acquisition cost but they are recognised in profit or loss. A minority interest 
may be measured either at fair value or at the minority interest's proportionate
share of the acquiree's net assets. According to the transitional provisions,   
business combinations that were effected before the adoption of the standard    
will not be restated.                                                           

IAS 27 (Amendment) Consolidated and separate financial statements               
The revised standard requires that the effects of changes in interest in a      
subsidiary are recognised in equity, when there is no change in control. When   
control in a subsidiary is lost, any remaining interest is measured at fair     
value through profit or loss. A similar accounting treatment will be applied to 
investments in associates (IAS 28) and interests in joint ventures (IAS 31). As 
a consequence of the amendment, losses of a subsidiary may be attributed to     
minority interests also when they exceed the minority interest.                 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS require the     
management to make such estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying      
amounts at the balance sheet date for the assets and liabilities and the amounts
of revenues and expenses. Judgements are also made in applying the accounting   
policies. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions.         

The interim financial statements have not been audited.                         


SEGMENT INFORMATION                                                             

As of 1 June 2009, business operations were regrouped into three divisions:     
Environmental Services, Property and Office Support Services and Renewable      
Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti). The company's internal reporting, as well as the 
segments reported externally, were changed to reflect the new divisions at the  
beginning of 2010. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

The property maintenance services business of Kiinteistöpalvelu Oy Hollola was  
acquired into Property and Office Support Services on 1 June 2010, and the      
business of Kiinteistöhuolto Oy Forsblom on 1 July 2010. The net sales of the   
business of Kiinteistöpalvelu Oy Hollola totalled EUR 1,600 thousand and the    
acquisition cost was EUR 726 thousand. Changes in acquisition costs may arise on
the basis of terms and conditions related to the acquisition price in the deeds 
of sale as a small portion of the acquisition price is contingent on future     
events (less than 12 months). All itemisations in accordance with IFRS 3 are not
presented because the figures are immaterial.                                   

On 1 July 2010, L&T acquired the remaining 16.5% of the Muoviportti Group (83.5%
held previously). An estimate of the acquisition price for the remaining 16.5%  
was recognised as current interest-bearing liability.                           

On 18 December 2006, an agreement was signed on the acquisition of the majority 
(70%) of the shares of Biowatti Oy from the acting management of the company.   
L&T also made a commitment to redeem the remaining 30 percent of the shares by  
the beginning of the year 2012. The acquisition price for the 70 percent portion
was EUR 30.9 million, and it was settled in cash. No interest-bearing           
liabilities were transferred in the acquisition. In the consolidated financial  
statements the whole acquisition price (100%) was recognised as acquisition     
cost. No minority interest was separated from the profit or equity, but the     
estimated purchase price of the remaining 30 percent was recognised as          
interest-bearing non-current liability. The final price of the 30 percent       
portion will be determined based on the future earnings of L&T Biowatti. The    
estimate is assessed annually as of 31 December, or whenever any indication     
exists. According to the assessment of 30 June 2010, the acquisition price for  
the remaining 30 percent was reduced by EUR 1,113 thousand to EUR 2,650 thousand
(EUR 3,763 thousand). The adjustment has no impact on the profit or loss, as the
adjustment was recognised accordingly under cost of the combination, goodwill   
and interest-bearing liabilities.    

The accounting policy concerning business combinations is presented in Annual   
Report 2009 under Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements and under     
Summary on significant accounting policies.

The interest rate swaps are used to hedge cash flow related to a floating rate  
loan, and hedge accounting under IAS 39 has been applied to it. The hedges have
been effective, and the changes in the fair values are shown in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income for the period. The fair values of the        
interest rate swaps are based on the market data at the balance sheet date.
