Interim information of Agrowill Group AB for the 3 month period ended 31 March 2012



The total consolidated Agrowill Group Group's revenue for the three months of
2012 was 
LTL 9,817 million (EUR 2,843 million), an increase by 33 per cent over the
total revenue 
of LTL 7,402 million (EUR 2,144 million) for the three months of 2011.

EBITDA for the three months of 2012 went down by 17 per cent to LTL 1,556
million (EUR 0,451

months of 2011. 

Net loss in January-March of 2012 amounted to LTL 2,526 million (EUR 0,732
million). 
It was a profit of LTL 1,956 million (EUR 0,566 million) over same period a
year ago. 

Agrowill Group, AB  in the first quarter of this year reached the planned
results. Although during the first quarter of this year the Group had 2.5
million of loss, but the result has been planned and is due to objective
reasons. 

Such results are due to high  seasonality in agricultural activities. This
seasonal characteristic is typical of all entities involved in crop production
The ongoing plant operations, all the fertilizers, chemicals and fuel
procurement, labour costs are accounted as unfinished production, and the
Group's operating results include only dairy business results, and current
expenses and financial costs. Most of the revenue and hence profit, will be
accounted after selling of the harvest - in this year's third and fourth
quarters. It is important to note that the Company's revenues from crop
production accounts for about 60 percent of total revenues. 

 Last year's first quarter, the company's profit amounted to about 1.8 million.
LTL, however, was influenced by non-typical one-off accounting items. Group‘s
EBITDA compared to last year's same period declined from 1.9 million. LTL 1.6
million. LTL. 

Benefiting from the favourable grain prices on world markets, Agrowill Group
has already fixed the sale price for more than half of expected harvest for
2012. Conditions of winter crops after the winter season has been good and
natural spring conditions this year were also quite good. It is planned that,
with the projections of crop yields,  the Group realize its ambitious goals for
2012. 

 Agrowill Group previously predicted that this year's EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) will grow almost double to 20
million LTL. Revenues expected to rise by almost a third - up to 76 million
LTL. The Group's management plans to update the forecast in August when harvest
figures will be known.
