HKSCAN GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2010
HKSCAN'S THIRD QUARTER IN LINE WITH PLANNING; ROSE POULTRY DEAL SIGNED IN
SEPTEMBER WILL, WHEN EXECUTED, MAKE HKSCAN A LEADING POULTRY COMPANY IN NORTHERN
EUROPE
* HKScan's Q3 was as planned. Thanks to the normalisation of business in
Finland, the non-recurring gains in Sweden and excellent success in the Polish
market area, EBIT for the third quarter rose to EUR 18.8 million (EUR 14.1m).
* The Group's net sales over the nine-month period came to EUR 1 518.3 million
(EUR 1 567.2 million) and operating profit to EUR 32.3 million falling slight
short of the previous year's level (EUR 36.6 million).
* The company reaffirms its earnings guidance given in the Q2 interim report.
With performance in the first half of the year falling markedly short of the
same a year ago, the Group's full-year EBIT exclusive of non-recurring items is
estimated to be at a level somewhat lower than in 2009.

533.5m). Group EBIT came in at EUR 18.8 million (EUR 14.1m).
{>* In Finland, the situation was returning to normal after the industrial
action in the spring. EBIT in the third quarter came to EUR 6.8 million (EUR 7.7
m).

CEO MATTI PERKONOJA:
“Business in the third quarter of the year was in line with expectation for
HKScan. The company's strategic strengths, decentralized geographical structure
and large number of product segments support the steady and predictable
development of the business. The acquisitions are in line with HKScan's growth
strategy and do not involve such operational or financial risks of a magnitude
that would jeopardize the company's controlled and long-term development.
The Group has strengthened measures to improve profitability and efficiency of
the business, particularly in Sweden and Finland. HKScan announced in September
plans for new structural changes to improve operations in the Finnish and
Swedish market areas. In Finland, the focus is on significantly improving the
productivity of the business in order to maintain international competitiveness.
It was decided to expand the restructuring programme initiated in Sweden earlier
in order to secure the programme's development benefits of EUR 30 million.
The business environment in the Baltics continues to present a challenge due to
the state of the region's economies, although in recent months the situation has
somewhat stabilized. The performance of Rakvere Lihakombinaat and Tallegg
remained strong.
In Poland, there was a considerable improvement in Sokolów's EBIT. The driving
force behind the positive trend was strengthening of the market positions in the
modern retail trade and success in the export markets.
There was no need for reassessment of the balance sheet values tested in the
quarterly impairment testing.
HKScan Corporation and the owners of the Danish company, Rose Poultry A/S signed
an agreement in September according to which Denmark's largest poultry company
will be acquired by HKScan. Rose Poultry's strategic suitability for HKScan is
excellent, and upon closing of the transaction the company will become a leading
player in the poultry segment in northern Europe. The aim is to complete the
transaction during the current year and closing of the agreement will be
conditional on approval by relevant competition authorities.
In Finland, HK Ruokatalo's unique and extensive Rapeseed pork development
project has progressed on schedule. With the innovation pork will rise to a new
level of quality and the top of healthy meat products. The pigs are fed feed to
which Finnish rapeseed oil is added. As a result, the quality of the fat in
their meat is rendered heart-friendly in a natural way. HK Ruokatalo will launch
the new Rapeseed pork products, which are both tasty and good for the heart,
onto the consumer market in February 2011..

In Finland, EBIT came to EUR 6.8 million (EUR 7,7m).
The summer barbecue season was successful and sales were in line with
expectations. Demand for poultry meat in period was higher than forecast
exceeding HK Ruokatalo's delivery capacity limiting at the same time the
company's achievable earnings performance. The business performance and
profitability of HKScan Finland's other subsidiaries and associates was
excellent.
The stock exchange release issued in mid-September specified the development
plans concerning the business area in Finland. The planned programme seeks to
strengthen the company's position and increase work productivity in Finland and
to deliver development benefits of EUR 12.5 million by the end of 2011. The
programme tentatively plans greater centralization of production activities.
Implementation of the planned programme would mean a reduction of roughly 250
person-years throughout HKScan Finland's entire business chain, including
subcontractors and outsourced operations, by the end of 2011. Negotiations
regarding the matter have been started with HK Ruokatalo's employees at the
beginning of November.
The export deliveries of HK Ruokatalo's production facilities in Forssa and
Mellilä to Russia were disrupted in July. This was due to a ban by the Russian
authorities on exports from a number of Finnish food industry companies. The
export ban with respect to the Mellilä production facility was lifted in late
August. Disruption of exports from Forssa has caused some growth in stocks.
In collaboration with its partners HK Ruokatalo has developed a new kind of
pork, Rapeseed pork, which is both tasty and good for the heart. The development
project has progressed on schedule and the new heart−healthy Rapeseed pork
products will be launched on the consumer market in February 2011.

Third-quarter net sales in Sweden were slightly below 2009 levels, amounting to
EUR 249.8 million (EUR 256.2m). The reasons for the decrease were disruptions in
supply relating to the running-in phase of the new logistics centre and the
considerable increase in beef imports, which has decreased consumption and
market price level of Swedish beef. The strengthened Swedish krona has
significantly weakened the competitiveness of Swedish raw material-based
production.
EBIT came in at EUR 6.6 million (EUR 2.5m). EBIT was increased by the EUR 7.9
million gains on the disposal of the production facilities in Uppsala and Visby
recognized for the period. During the early part of the year the ongoing
restructuring has given rise to an estimated EUR 8 million in additional
expenditure, of which ca. EUR 4.6 million was in Q3.
Scan's national distribution centre in Linköping was inaugurated in August.
Centralization of deliveries will clarify operations and streamline distribution
channels benefiting both customers and Scan. The disruptions seen in the
deployment of the centre have been rectified, and delivery reliability is
reaching the standard required.
The Pärsons brand of cold cuts succeeded well in Q3. The Scan brand, too, has
strengthened its position in processed products.
In September, Scan Ab decided to expand the development programme initiated a
year ago to secure the development benefits of EUR 30 million announced in 2009.
According to the plan, the production of food sausages would be centralized
during the period 2011−2013 from Örebro and Kristianstad mainly to Linköping.
The production of semi-finished products sold under the Pärsons-brand would be
transferred from Ströveltorp to Scan's other production facilities. In addition,
the head office and administration are to be transferred from Skara and
Stockholm to Linköping.
Upon implementation, the plan involves, as announced a year ago, a reduction in
Scan's employees from the current 2 750 to approximately 2 500.

In the Baltics, EBIT in Q3 was EUR 2.5 million (EUR 3.4m). Earnings were eroded
in line with expectation by the merger of Jelgavas Galas Kombinats with the
Rakvere Group's Latvia-based subsidiary AS Rigas Miesnieks, which acquired
Jelgavas Galas Kombinats at the beginning of the year.
In the Baltics, the difficulties of the economies are starting to ease, but
unemployment is high and purchasing power is accordingly still lower than
normal. Competition is tight in the entire meat sector in the Baltics and
performance is challenging, as consumers favour more affordable and less
processed products.
The Rakvere Group's Latvia-based subsidiary AS Rigas Miesnieks has enhanced the
efficiency of its operations by consolidating the sales and logistics function
of Rigas Miesnieks and Jelgavas Galas Kombinats as of September. The aim is to
centralize the companies' production-related activities during the course of
next year mainly in Jelgavas' new and efficient facility. Rigas Miesnieks'
dispatching department and administration will remain in Riga. Consolidating the
operations will achieve, in addition to cost savings, flexibility in the
difficult situation within Latvia's meat market.
Rakvere Lihakombinaat's animal waste processing unit was completed in August.
The new facility is the most efficient and environmentally friendly in its
sector in Estonia.

*) The figures refer to HKScan's share (50%) of the Sokolów Group's figures.
The strong business development that began in Poland at the end of 2009
continued in Q3 as well. Sokolów's EBIT nearly doubled to EUR 4.3m (EUR 2.2m).
Net sales increased compared with the corresponding period a year earlier
standing at EUR 76.9 million (69.2m).
The company's even greater success in the ranges of super- and hypermarkets of
the modern retail chains, in particular, contributed to Sokolów achievement.
Exports, too, have grown. The company's financial standing is in equilibrium and
its cost competitiveness is good.
Thanks to its tight cost control, Sokolów has also retained its margin despite
the fall in market prices.
AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE LEADING DANISH POULTRY COMPANY, Rose Poultry A/S
HKScan Corporation (“HKScan”) and the owners of the Danish company, Rose Poultry
A/S (“Rose Poultry”) − Vinderup Poultry A/S, Skovsgaard, Fjerkræslagteri A/S and
Hedegaard A/S − signed in September an agreement according to which Denmark's
largest poultry company will be acquired by HKScan. The aim is to complete the
transaction during the course of this autumn. Closing of the agreement will be
conditional on approval by relevant competition authorities.
Upon closing of the transaction, HKScan's operations in the poultry market will
expand to Denmark and Sweden, and the company will become a leading player in
the poultry market in northern Europe. Rose Poultry's strategic suitability for
HKScan is excellent and it will constitute an important step in the development
of the company's poultry business. The acquisition is in line with the strategy
of the HKScan Group.
The purchase price for the shares in Rose Poultry is at maximum EUR 23.9 million
subject to certain price adjustment mechanisms. The purchase price will be paid
with a cash payment of at maximum EUR 15.9 million and a directed share issue of
at maximum 1 000,000 HKScan Series A shares to the sellers. The parties have
further agreed that the sellers have a put option pursuant to which during a
period commencing 18 months after the closing date and expiring 21 months after
the closing date, upon receipt of a sale notice, HKScan will acquire all or part
of new HKScan Series A shares at a fixed price of EUR 8.00 per HKScan Series A
share. The interest bearing net debt in the balance sheet of Rose Poultry is an
estimated EUR 47 million. The final purchase price will be specified in
conjunction with the closing of the transaction.
The Board of Directors of HKScan approved the acquisition on 9 September 2010
and decided to use the share issue authorisation granted to it by the Annual
General Meeting held on 23 April 2010 for a directed share issue.
The maximum number of Series A shares to be issued represents approximately 2.06
percent of the number of all HKScan Series A shares registered at the time of
the decision and approximately 0.64 percent of votes carried by all the
company's shares.
Rose Poultry produces annually more than 130 million kilos of poultry meat,
which is sold under the company's own Rose brand as well as under private labels
as fresh, frozen or processed products in the company's main markets in Denmark,
Sweden and the UK. Rose Poultry has three production facilities in Denmark and
the company employs approximately 1 000 people.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND FINANCE
The Group's gross investments in Q3 of 2010 totalled EUR 15.2 million (EUR
9.3m). Gross investments in the first nine months of the year totalled EUR 52.2
million (EUR 33.8m) and were divided among production-related investment in the
market areas as follows: Finland EUR 16.5 million (EUR 9.0m), Sweden EUR 17.2
million (EUR 13.7m) and the Baltics EUR 12.4 million (EUR 4.7m). HKScan's share
of Sokolów investments in Poland was EUR 6.1 million (EUR 6.4m).
The Group's interest-bearing debt at the end of September stood at EUR 458.8
million (EUR 483.6m). Gross interest-bearing debt at the turn of the year was
EUR 417.4 million. The decline in debt from the corresponding period a year
earlier (Q3/2009) is attributable to the EUR 78.0 million share offering
executed in December 2009. The company allocated EUR 20 million of the proceeds
of the offering to repaying its hybrid bond. The remaining proceeds of the
offering were used to pay other interest-bearing debts.
The considerable strengthening (ca. 11%) of the Swedish krona since the turn of
the year, a higher need for working capital, and dividend payments increased the
company's gross interest-bearing debt in the early part of the year.
Net financial expenses have clearly fallen from a year ago owing to lower
interest rates, a reduced loan portfolio and a decline in the costs of hedging
equity denominated in EEK. Untapped credit facilities at 30 September 2010 stood
at EUR 214.6 million (EUR 169.2m). In addition, the Group had other untapped
overdraft and other facilities of EUR 27.1 million (EUR 42.1m). The EUR 100
million commercial paper programme had been drawn in the amount of EUR 17.0
million (EUR 10.0m).
At the end of September, the equity ratio stood at 35.8 percent (31.1%). A
material contributor to the stronger equity ratio was the share offering
executed in December 2009. The equity ratio at the turn of the year was 37.1
percent.
INSIDER TRIAL RELATING TO SHARE PURCHASES BY LSO OSUUSKUNTA
The trial regarding the share trading of LSO Osuuskunta in August 2006 began at
the beginning of November. HKScan will monitor the progress of the proceedings
and revisit the issue at the latest when the outcome of the case has been
determined.
The Helsinki district prosecutor decided that six persons who were part of LSO
Osuuskunta's management at the time, in 2006, would be prosecuted for aggravated
abuse of insider information. Three of these persons are currently members of
the Board of Directors of HKScan Corporation. The charge is based on the
respective persons' positions at the time as representatives of LSO Osuuskunta
and does not relate to their actions as members of the Board of HKScan Corporation.
In April 2010, the Helsinki district prosecutor resolved not to bring charges in
respect of HKScan CEO Matti Perkonoja and one company official.
TREASURY SHARES
At 30 September 2010, HKScan held a total of 51 982 of its A Shares. These had a
market value of EUR 0.41 million (EUR 7.81 each) and accounted for 0.10% of all
shares and 0.03% of all votes. No dividend is paid on treasury shares.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' EXISTING AUTHORIZATIONS
(1) The AGM of 23 April 2010 authorized the Board to resolve on acquiring a
maximum of 3 500 000 Series A shares as treasury shares, equal to roughly 6.5%
of total registered shares and 7.2% of total A Shares.
Treasury shares may only be acquired using unrestricted equity. Treasury shares
may be purchased for a price quoted in public trading on the purchase day or for
a price otherwise determined by the market.
The Board of Directors shall resolve upon the method of purchase. Among other
means, derivatives may be utilized in purchasing the shares. The shares may be
purchased in a proportion other than that of the shares held by the shareholders
(directed purchase). This authorization is valid until 30 June 2011 and cancels
the authorization granted to the Board by the AGM of 23 April 2009 to resolve on
acquiring the company's treasury shares.
(2) The AGM also authorized the Board of Directors to resolve on an issue of
shares, option rights as well as other special rights entitling to shares as
referred to in Chapter 10:1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act. The Board
was authorized to resolve on the issue of a maximum of 5 500 000 A Shares,
corresponding to ca. 10.2% of all registered shares in the company and ca. 11.3%
of all A Shares.
The Board may resolve upon all the terms and conditions of the issue of shares
and other special rights entitling to shares. The authorization to issue shares
shall cover the issuing of new shares as well as the transfer of the company's
treasury shares. The issue of shares and other special rights entitling to
shares may be implemented as a directed issue. This authorization is valid until
30 June 2011 and cancels the authorization granted to the Board by the AGM of 23
April 2009 on resolving on an issue of shares, option rights as well as other
special rights entitling to shares.
The authorizations concerning purchases of treasury shares and share issue were
granted to provide the company's Board with flexibility in deciding on capital
market transactions necessary to the company, e.g. to secure its financing needs
or to execute mergers and acquisitions. A directed acquisition of treasury
shares or directed share issue can only be executed for reasons of weighty
financial consequence to the company and the authorization cannot be exercised
in violation of the principle of shareholder equality.
EMPLOYEES

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS IN THE NEAR FUTURE
The most significant uncertainty factors in the HKScan Group's business involve
developments in the price of raw materials, in future possibly also the
availability of these. Market area-specific uncertainty factors have to do
especially with the success of the business development programmes in Finland
and Sweden.
The international economic situation is stabilising. Ongoing major fluctuations
in the Group's central currencies may affect the Group's net sales, earnings and
balance sheet.
Changes in demand attributable to the financial climate such as, for example,
growing unemployment, may occur in the Group's market areas or its export
markets. These may erode Group net sales and earnings.
Any unforeseeable authorities procedures may hamper the company's business in
its export markets.
The possibility of animal diseases can never be fully excluded in the food
industry's raw meat supplies.
The Group is currently involved in certain legal proceedings and civil
litigation. The cases remain pending but are estimated to have no significant
impact on the Group's financial standing.
EVENTS TAKING PLACE AFTER THE END OF THE REVIEW PERIOD
The Finnish Competition Authority has approved the plan of HKScan Finland Oy and
Järvi-Suomen Portti Osuuskunta to establish a new corporate entity. The company
will continue the production of processed meats at Portti's plant located in
Tikkala in the town of Mikkeli. The aim is for the new company to begin
operations not later than at the turn of 2010/2011. Järvi-Suomen Portti is a
minority shareholder in the new company. The company will continue in the
consumer market as a separate company with its own brands. The business will be
managed locally and the company will have its own sales organization.
As announced in the summer, the transaction includes the production machinery
and business at the Tikkala plant as well as Järvi-Suomen Portti's brands. The
plant in Mikkeli is to be made available through a long-term lease. Personnel
affected by the arrangement will transfer to the new company as ‘old employees',
i.e. with the terms of their employment unchanged.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Consumer demand for food is expected to continue to remain steady in the Group's
home markets. Success in Christmas sales − which are traditionally strong in the
company − is crucial in terms of overall performance for the year. The balanced
situation in the business and the streamlining programmes already launched and
planned provide the foundation for the stronger development of the Group's
competitiveness and profitability.
With performance in the first half of the year falling markedly short of the
same a year ago, the Group's full-year EBIT exclusive of non-recurring items is
estimated to be at a level somewhat lower than in 2009.

In the interim reports for 2009, the company reported re-measurement of net
investment hedges in the revaluation reserve. In the financial statements for
2009, the manner of reporting has been changed and hedging is recognized as an
adjustment to translation differences. The figures for the comparison year have
been modified to correspond to the current practice.

NOTES TO THE GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
HKScan Corporation's interim report for 1 January - 30 September 2010 has been
prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same
accounting principles have been applied in the interim report as in the annual
financial statements for 2009. These accounting principles are explained in the
financial statements for 2009.
As of 1 January 2010, the Group has adopted the following new IFRS standards and
interpretations:
Revised IAS 27. Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised standard requires
the effects of changes in subsidiary ownership to be recognized directly in
Group equity when the parent entity retains control. If control in the
subsidiary is lost, any remaining investment is measured to fair value and any
difference recognized in profit or loss. A corresponding accounting treatment
will in future apply also to investments in associates (IAS 28) and interests in
joint ventures (IAS 31) As a result of the revision, the losses of a subsidiary
can be allocated to the minority also when the losses exceed the minority's
investment.
