April-June 2009 by business sector:
In the building construction sector, housing sales totalled 171 units (Q1/09:
123) in Finland and 28 units (Q1/09: 22) in Russia. New starts were made on
mainly rental housing projects in different parts of Finland. In commercial
construction Lemminkäinen agreed several new building projects.
In the infrastructure construction sector, the paving season in Finland began
somewhat late, but the second quarter met expectations and was almost on a par
with the previous years thanks to a busy June. Increased currency hedging
expenses, especially with regards to operations in the Baltic states, somewhat
depressed the business sector's result.
In the technical building service sector, Q2 net sales and profits were better
than in the first quarter.
In the building products sector, there was a marked increase in roofing,
waterproofing and urban environment product sales and contracting works towards
the end of the review period.
President & CEO Timo Kohtamäki:
”Considering the weak state of the construction market, Lemminkäinen's
profitability trend in the second quarter was satisfactory and in line with
expectations. June was busy, especially in infrastructure construction and
building products, which compensated for the somewhat lack-lustre spring.
Housing sales in the second quarter held at the Q1 level and were clearly
brisker than in Q4 last year. Rental housing developments sold to investors were
started especially in the Helsinki metropolitan area, and Lemminkäinen's first
own housing development of the year got under way in Seinäjoki.
Lemminkäinen's positive cash flow from operating activities in the second
quarter was particularly gratifying. Less cash than last year was tied up in the
Group's own housing developments. Furthermore, the Company's trade receivables
were significantly lower than they were a year earlier.
In June we announced the agreement of financing arrangements designed to give
Lemminkäinen more financial leeway and to improve liquidity in the uncertain
economic situation. The arrangements have enabled us to restructure our overall
debt position by shifting the balance from short-term to long-term liabilities.
The outlook for Lemminkäinen over the remainder of the year in the prevailing
market conditions is satisfactory. The decline of the Company's order book
appears to have halted, and the third quarter of the year is customarily our
best. The rapidly deteriorating state of municipal finances is causing
uncertainty especially in infrastructure construction and has a direct bearing
on basic road maintenance and other investments.
Outlook for 2009
In building construction the emphasis in residential construction has shifted to
rental housing production. Housing sales have clearly picked up and conditions
are favourable for sustained demand at the H1 level. In commercial construction
Lemminkäinen's order book for the remainder of the year is good. In Russia
housing sales are brisker than last year, but demand for construction is not
expected to grow significantly.
In Finland the worsened financial difficulties of the municipalities may reduce
basis road maintenance investments already in the second half of this year. In
Sweden, Norway and Denmark significant stimulus packages are keeping demand for
infrastructure construction at a good level and will continue to do so in the
near future. In Russia and the Baltic states demand for construction is weak and
the competitive situation in some places is very challenging.
Demand for refurbishment contracting as well as the maintenance and servicing of
technical building and facility systems is expected to remain stable.
Lemminkäinen Group's full-year net sales and result before taxes will fall well
short of the 2008 level.
Briefing
A Finnish-language briefing for analysts and the media will be held at 10:00
a.m. on Thursday, 6 August at Katajanoka Kasino restaurant, Laivastokatu 1,
Helsinki. The interim financial review will be presented by President & CEO Timo
Kohtamäki. Presentation material concerning the result for the review period

INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW 1.1. - 30.6.2009
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Operations in Finland
Demand for construction has contracted sharply, and especially in new building
construction the number of starts has collapsed from the peak levels of recent
years. The emphasis in residential construction has shifted to rental housing
production, but a cautious start has also been made in own housing developments.
Sales of housing units have picked up significantly since the end of last year.
Demand for commercial construction has declined; in particular, own development
starts have been a rarity. Finnish real estate investors have continued to
invest in properties all over Finland.
The government's stimulus measures will show up most clearly in infrastructure
construction and basic road maintenance, but without the timely introduction of
further stimulus measures the outlook for the sector in the near future is
uncertain.
Demand for building refurbishment as well as servicing and maintenance of
technical building systems has remained good. The government's building repair
assistance scheme for 2009 has boosted demand for refurbishment contracting only
partly due to the start-up lag in renovation projects. An extension of the
building repair assistance scheme into next year would therefore be justified.
Competition in almost all construction sectors continues to be fierce and the
price level has fallen.
Operations abroad
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark significant stimulus measures targeted at
infrastructure construction have kept the market situation good.
The state of the construction market in the Baltic states is still very
challenging. Infrastructure construction activity and the operating environment
in Estonia and Lithuania are somewhat better than in Latvia.
in Russia, housing sales have been brisker than last year, but demand for
construction is not expected to grow significantly in the near future. The
infrastructure construction market has been weak this year.
NET SALES
Lemminkäinen's net sales for the January-June period were down 19 % on H1 last
year at EUR 881.6 million (1,090.8). Net sales fell in all of the Group's
business sectors, with the biggest declines in building construction and
building products. Lemminkäinen generated 75 % of its net sales in Finland, 15 %
in other Nordic countries, 4 % in Russia, and 6 % in other countries.

OPERATING PROFIT
Lemminkäinen's operating profit for the January-June period were down by a third
from H1 last year at EUR 21.5 million (32.1). Operating profit for the
April-June period was EUR 30.1 million (37.6), down by a fifth from Q2 last
year. The result for the building construction business sector in the second
quarter was improved by continued briskness of the housing market and individual
real estate deals.

ORDER BOOK
Lemminkäinen's order book at the end of June was EUR 1,156.0 million (1,696.7),
about a third lower than at the same time last year. However, the order book has
risen slightly since the end of March 2009. Operations abroad accounted for 31 %
(27) of the order book.

BALANCE SHEET, CASH FLOW AND FINANCING
The consolidated balance sheet total at 30 June 2009 was EUR 1,333.2 million
(1,379.0). The return on investment was 3.6 % (4.7) and the equity ratio 26.3 %
(23.9). Gearing was 138.9 % (171.5).
According to the cash flow statement, the cash flow from operating activities in
the January-June period was EUR -70.6 million (-174.6), the cash flow from
investing activities EUR -16.3 million (-23.8) and the cash flow from financing
activities EUR -50.3 million (195.9). The cash flow for the review period
includes the payment of dividends totalling EUR 17.9 million (32.6) for the 2008
accounting period. In the April-June period the cash flow from operating
activities was EUR 14.8 million (Q2/08: -112.3), the net cash flow from
investing activities EUR -5.2 million (Q2/08: -14.4) and the cash flow from
financing activities EUR -53.3 million (Q2/08: 108.3).
Net working capital in the review period was EUR 922.0 million (1,008.7) and net
working capital EUR 486.5 million (541.8). A significant amount of working
capital is still tied up in residential and commercial construction in progress.
Liquid funds at the end of the review period were EUR 111.0 million (76.0).
The amount of interest-bearing debt at the end of the review period was EUR
556.2 million (591.7), of which EUR 288.4 million was short-term debt and EUR
267.8 million long-term debt. Interest-bearing net debt was EUR 445.2 million
(515.6). Net financing expenses were EUR 19.1 million (12.7), representing 2.2 %
(1.2) of net sales. Foreign exchange rate movements and currency hedging costs
in Russia and the Baltic states increased financing expenses by approx. EUR 3
million.
Lemminkäinen's interest-bearing debt comprised loans from financial institutions
50 %, commercial paper 14 %, project loans related to own housing production and
commercial construction 14 %, TyEL loans 9 %, finance leasing liabilities 10 %
and other debts 3 %.
Lemminkäinen agreed new financing arrangements during the review period. The
Company restructured short-term borrowings totalling EUR 270 million and
negotiated a bank guarantee for a EUR 115 million loan from its TyEL pension
premium loan allocation. At the end of the review period EUR 52 million had been
drawn from the allocation. The remaining EUR 63 million will be drawn during the
third quarter of this year. The agreed arrangements shift the balance of
Lemminkäinen's overall debt position from short-term to long-term liabilities.
Lemminkäinen still has an unused TyEL pension premium loan allocation of
approximately EUR 40 million.

The net sales of the building construction business sector in the January-June
period were weaker than in H1 last year, but profitability improved. The result
was boosted by recovery of the housing markets in Finland and Russia as well as
individual real estate deals in the second quarter of the year. The business
sector generated 82 % of its net sales in Finland, 6 % in Russia, 5 % in other
Nordic countries, and 7 % in other countries. The decline of the building
construction order book was halted, and the order book at the end of the review
period was slightly higher than at the end of March.
Operations in Finland:
In the January-June period Lemminkäinen sold 294 (430) units and completed 306
(304) units in its own housing developments. New starts were made on 15 (492)
housing units. At the end of the review period 296 (1,311) housing units were
under construction, of which 138 were unsold. The number of unsold completed
housing units was 459 (286).
There was a marked increase in the number of contracted housing starts, with new
starts being made on 420 housing units in the first half of 2009.
At the end of the review period Lemminkäinen owned a total of 974,000 m2 of
unused building rights, of which about 473,000 m2 were residential building
rights. The Company also has binding or conditional co-operation and zoning
agreements for a further 717,000 m2, of which about 340,000 m2 are residential
building rights. The value of the building plots was approx. EUR 93 million.
The emphasis in Lemminkäinen's residential construction has shifted to rental
housing production this year. In Helsinki metropolitan area and a few growth
centres the Company made starts on a number of new housing developments sold to
investors. Lemminkäinen reached an agreement with Paulig on the phased purchase
of its old roastery site in the Vuosaari district of Helsinki, which has been
zoned as a residential area for approximately 2,000 inhabitants. Planning work
is already under way and construction is expected to start next year. In June
Lemminkäinen started its first own housing development of the year in Seinäjoki.
The threshold for starting own housing developments is still high, and no new
starts are made unless a sufficiently high percentage of the units are reserved
by buyers in advance.
Commercial construction has slowed down over the past twelve months, and demand
for office construction in particular has been minimal. In the review period
Lemminkäinen was awarded a number of commercial construction contracts in
different parts of Finland. The combined value of these contracts is approx. EUR
90 million.
Lemminkäinen and IKEA Real Estate Oy made an agreement on the construction of a
new IKEA home furnishing store in Tampere. The work will be carried out as a
project management contract and its value is approx. EUR 18 million.
The market for refurbishment contracting remained stable. The government's
stimulus measures have boosted demand for building repair works to some extent.
Refurbishment contracting accounts for about 17 % of Lemminkäinen's building
construction business.
After the end of the review period Lemminkäinen announced that Kuopio City Board
had chosen it as the service provider for a major life cycle project. The
project entity encompasses the new construction and basic repair of four schools
and one child day-care centre. Lemminkäinen will be responsible for the
maintenance and upkeep of the buildings for a period of 25 years. The total
value of the project is
EUR 93.5 million.
Operations abroad:
Housing sales in Russia have been much brisker than last year. Lemminkäinen sold
50 (17) units in its own housing developments during the January-June period,
whereas a total of 61 units were sold in the whole of 2008. At the end of the
review period the Company had 323 (570) housing units under construction, of
which 212 were unsold. There were no unsold completed units. In 2008
Lemminkäinen halted work on 264 housing units in Russia due to the sharp decline
in housing sales.
The outlook for Russia's economy is still uncertain, and demand for construction
is not expected to grow significantly this year. At the end of the review period
Lemminkäinen had EUR 34 million of capital tied up in Russia.
In Sweden the Company had 68 (80) units under construction in its own housing
developments at the end of the review period. Of these, 23 were unsold. The
number of unsold completed units was 2. In the January-June period Lemminkäinen
sold 13 housing units in Sweden.
The focus of international project management contracting is still on the plant
investment projects of Finnish industrial companies in countries such as China,
India and Poland.
In telecommunications network construction a transition to more-energy-efficient
network solutions is expected, which may boost demand for new network
construction in the near future.
After the end of the review period Lemminkäinen and Cargotec made an agreement
on the project management contract for a new multi-assembly unit in Poland. The
total value of the contract is approx. EUR 22 million, and the project is
scheduled for completion in June 2010.

The net sales of the infrastructure construction business sector in the
January-June period were down 15 % at EUR 300.2 million (351.4). The business
sector generated 54 % of its net sales in Finland, 35 % in other Nordic
countries, and 10 % in the Baltic states. Business volume picked up especially
towards the end of the review period, and second-quarter profitability overall
was better than expected. The business sector's result was adversely impacted by
increased financing costs, the biggest single item being currency hedging costs
of operations in the Baltic states. In the absence of significant tunnel and
transport infrastructure projects, the order book as a whole is smaller than
last year.
Operations in Finland:
The development of Lemminkäinen's paving operations in the second quarter was in
line with expectations, and the volume of business was almost at the level of
the previous year. However, the price level of asphalt paving remained low. The
weak state of municipal finances may reduce basic road maintenance investments
and demand for paving already in late autumn and especially next year.
Transport infrastructure construction is expected to pick up gradually with the
start-up of major projects in 2010-2011. Competition in transport
infrastructure construction remains fierce due to prevailing overcapacity in the
sector. Bringing forward the start-up of major transport engineering projects
would relieve the situation.
In rock engineering and especially geotechnical engineering the market situation
has improved, and bids are being prepared for a number of new projects. In the
second quarter Lemminkäinen started a number of smaller rock and geotechnical
engineering projects with a combined value of approx. EUR 20 million. After the
end of the review period an agreement was made on the construction works for the
P-Hämppi car parking cavern in Tampere. Work on the site will start during
August 2009 and the contract is worth EUR 26 million.
Lemminkäinen's sales of mineral aggregates have been weaker than in 2008, but
the price level has remained stable so far this year. Considering the present
state of the market, Lemminkäinen's order book for mineral aggregate contracting
works is at a good level. Demand for ready-mix concrete has declined markedly in
response to the slowdown in building construction, and there have been strong
regional variations in the price level.
Operations abroad:
In Norway and Denmark demand for paving works has been brisker than expected.
The governments of both countries have extended strong additional stimulus
measures into future years. However, the supplementary budgets will not have any
marked effect on basic road maintenance until 2010.
In Sweden Lemminkäinen is currently working on several tunnel construction
contracts, the last of which are due to be completed next year. The geotechnical
engineering market in Sweden has been particularly good this year. Also, a
number of new rock engineering projects are in hand.
The market situation for infrastructure construction in the Baltic states has
remained weak. Lemminkäinen's order book in Estonia and Lithuania is
satisfactory. Three EU-funded road improvement projects are starting up in
Estonia. In Lithuania the EU is funding road network upgrades worth EUR 190
million in 2009-2010.

The profitability of the technical building services business sector in the
April-June period was weaker than in Q2 last year, but in line with expectations
given the state of the market. Q2 net sales were 9 % higher and Q2 operating
profit 4 % better than in the first quarter. The order book's margin level is
normal.
A number of contracts concerning building repair and conversion projects in
Helsinki metropolitan area were received during the second quarter. These
project deliveries are timed for 2009-2010. Competition in the sector continues
to be very fierce, and there has been a marked decline in both the size and
number of projects compared with previous years. The prices of raw materials,
especially copper, have risen sharply during the summer.
Demand for the maintenance, servicing and repair of technical building systems
has remained stable, and that trend is expected to continue for the remainder of
the year. Energy efficiency management and special expertise in areas such as
refrigeration maintenance and installation have become significant competitive
factors in the sector.
The industrial services unit of Lemminkäinen's technical building services
business sector is currently working on major installation projects at
industrial heat and power production plants in Finland and Sweden. The projects
will continue into 2010.

Sales of roofing and waterproofing products began more slowly than last year,
but picked up well during the summer. Contracting also increased at the end of
the review period, and Lemminkäinen received some significant bridge deck
waterproofing contracts. Exports of roofing materials were down on last year,
but stronger than expected demand due to low inventory levels resulted in longer
delivery times for a few products. Enquiries from housing companies concerning
yard and roofing repair works have increased somewhat thanks to the government's
building repair grants.
The market for urban environment construction is unchanged from last year, and
the order book for contracting works in particular is good for the remainder of
the year. Demand for pre-cast concrete elements has picked up slightly in
response to new rental housing production, but the price level in the industry
is low.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
The listed price of Lemminkäinen Corporation's share was EUR 13.05 (31.50) at
the beginning of the January and EUR 19.02 (29.01) at the end of June. The
market capitalisation at the end of the review period was EUR 323.7 million
(493.8). Altogether 884,329 shares (2,157,846) were traded during the review
period. The total value of the turnover was EUR 15.4 million (68.0). At the end
of the review period the Company had 4,790 (4,094) shareholders.
Lemminkäinen's share capital is EUR 34,042,500. The Company has one share series
and the total number of issued shares is 17,021,250.
INVESTMENTS
Investments made during the review period amounted to EUR 19.4 million (35.6).
The investments were mainly replacement purchases of equipment for paving and
mineral aggregate operations.
PERSONNEL
The average number of employees in the Group during the review period was 8,543
(9,498), of whom 69 % worked in Finland, 12% in other Nordic countries, 11% in
the Baltic states and 8 % in other countries.
The personnel reduction measures started in the second half of 2008 have so far
affected about 1,000 employees. The biggest personnel reductions have been made
in the building construction and building products business sectors.

LITIGATION
In December 2007 the Market Court ordered seven asphalt industry companies to
pay a total of EUR 19.4 million in infringement fines for contravention of
competition laws, EUR 14 million of which was imposed on Lemminkäinen. The
Finnish Competition Authority had proposed to the Market Court that Lemminkäinen
be fined EUR 68 million.
In addition to Lemminkäinen, the Finnish Competition Authority and some of the
other asphalt industry companies appealed the decision to the Supreme
Administrative Court, which has announced its intention to give its decision on
the matter in September 2009.
According to plaints submitted to the Helsinki District Court, different
municipalities will demand compensatory damages from Lemminkäinen and other
asphalt companies if the Supreme Administrative Court finds that activities in
breach of competition restriction law have taken place in the municipalities in
question. The Finnish Road Administration has demanded compensation of at most
EUR 10.5 million from Lemminkäinen and at most a further EUR 5.6 million under
joint and several liability with other asphalt companies.
The claims are based on the Finnish Competition Authority's assertions that
unlawful restrictions of competition would have raised the price level of
asphalt paving at certain times. Lemminkäinen has disputed these arguments
before the Market Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. In addition, a
large proportion of the plaints that have come to Lemminkäinen's attention
concern areas and/or times in and/or at which the Market Court considered in its
decision that Lemminkäinen had not acted in breach of competition restriction
law.
All of the plaintiffs have requested that the compensation claims be suspended
and proceedings continued only if the Supreme Administrative Court decides that
Lemminkäinen did breach competition restriction law in the areas and at the
times specified in the plaints. Lemminkäinen has acceded to the requests for
suspension, but regards the presented claims for compensation as baseless. No
expense provision has been made in respect of the claims.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Lemminkäinen's business risks are divided into six categories: market risks,
project risks, financing risks, credit loss risks, environmental risks, and
accidents and damage. The measures necessary to manage the most significant
identified risks have been specified.
Market risk poses the most significant threat to Lemminkäinen in the near
future. The international financial crisis and economic downturn are creating
uncertainty in key sectors of Lemminkäinen's operating environment and making
its more difficult to foresee future changes. As a consequence of this,
Lemminkäinen has set about making the necessary adjustments to its business
operations.
The sharp fall-off in demand for housing production increases sales risk. In
2009 new housing starts will be made only if a sufficiently high percentage of
the units are reserved by buyers in advance. In Russia, Lemminkäinen has halted
construction work on almost 300 housing units.
The financing difficulties experienced by Lemminkäinen's customers may have an
adverse effect on demand for the Company's goods and services. Particular
attention is being paid to credit loss risks, and trade receivables are being
actively monitored.
Operating in a number of business sectors with differing cyclical behaviours is
a cornerstone of Lemminkäinen's strategy. Fluctuating demand for new
construction in Finland is counterbalanced by infrastructure construction.
Building repair and maintenance account for more than a third of the Group's
business.
The Company's Annual Report and website provide more information on
Lemminkäinen's risk management.
OUTLOOK FOR 2009
In building construction the emphasis in residential construction has shifted to
rental housing production. Housing sales have clearly picked up and conditions
are favourable for sustained demand at the H1 level. In commercial construction
Lemminkäinen's order book for the remainder of the year is good. In Russia
housing sales are brisker than last year, but demand for construction is not
expected to grow significantly.
In Finland the worsened financial difficulties of the municipalities may reduce
basis road maintenance investments already in the second half of this year. In
Sweden, Norway and Denmark significant stimulus packages are keeping demand for
infrastructure construction at a good level and will continue to do so in the
near future. In Russia and the Baltic states demand for construction is weak and
the competitive situation in some places is very challenging.
Demand for refurbishment contracting as well as the maintenance and servicing of
technical building and facility systems is expected to remain stable.
Lemminkäinen Group's full-year net sales and result before taxes will fall well
short of the 2008 level.

TABULATED SECTION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REVIEW
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This interim financial review has been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and accounting principles of the IFRS standards, and it observes the
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting Standard. The IFRS recognition and
measurement principles observed in the annual financial statements for 2008 have
also been applied in the preparation of the interim financial review with the
below-mentioned changes.
The information contained in the interim financial review has not been audited.
Standards and interpretations adopted from the beginning of 2009
- IAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of Financial Statements. The aim of the standard
is to improve users' ability to analyse and compare the information given in
financial statements by separating changes in equity of an entity arising from
transactions with owners from other changes in equity. Changes unrelated to
owners are presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
- IFRS 8 Segment Reporting. The standard requires that reportable segment
information be based on internal segment reports that are reviewed by
management. Lemminkäinen is reporting its interim financial reviews from the
beginning of the 2009 accounting period in compliance with IFRS 8 Operating
Segments. Adoption of the standard has no effect on the number or composition of
Lemminkäinen Group's operating segments, but it does change the content of the
segment information. The standard has no effect on geographical segment
information.
The segment information reported to management is generally prepared according
to the same principles as those applied in the consolidated financial
statements. Imputed items are not considered in segment reporting. Such items
include, among others, depreciation of assets acquired by finance leasing,
interest separated from payments, warranty provisions, and unrealised gains or
losses on derivatives. In segment reporting to management, finance leasing
arrangements are treated as ordinary rental agreements, which deviates from the
accounting principles of IFRS financial statements. Affiliated companies are
combined in segment reporting in proportion to ownership share using the
line-by-line method. In IFRS financial statements affiliated companies are
combined by the equity method. In segment reporting, intersegment sales are not
allocated to segments, owing to their minimal magnitude, and are not reported to
management. Comparative figures for segment reporting have been published in a
separate release on 5 May 2009.
- IAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs. The amended standard requires an entity to
capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that
asset. The immediate expensing of such borrowing costs is prohibited. Starting
from 1 January 2009, the Group capitalises the borrowing costs in qualifying
projects and in projects where income is recognised on the basis of percentage
of completion.
An assessment indicates that the following interpretations and standards have no
essential bearing on Lemminkäinen Group's interim financial review: IAS 32
(Amendment), IFRS 2, IFRIC 11, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 14 and IFRIC 16.
Effects of new interpretations of IFRS standards in the future
The standards and interpretations published by IASB and listed below will come
into force in 2010 or thereafter. The Group has decided against their early
adoption and will apply them in future accounting periods.
- IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. The interpretation
will be applied at the latest in the accounting period commencing 1 January
2010. The interpretation will clarify whether an agreement for the construction
of real estate falls within the scope of IAS 11 Construction Contracts or IAS 18
Revenue, and when income from such construction projects can be recognised on
the basis of percentage of completion. In Lemminkäinen Group the new
interpretation is expected to affect at least the income recognition practice
for own building production, the basis of which would change from
percentage-of-completion to full completion and delivery. In that case the
recognition of income from such projects would be slowed down.
- IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements. The interpretation applies to
contractual arrangements whereby a private-sector operator participates in the
development, financing, operation or maintenance of public services
infrastructure. The interpretation does not have any essential bearing on this
interim financial review, or on the financial statements.
- IFRS 3 (Revised), Business combinations. The revised standard continues to
apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant
changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at
fair value at the acquisition date, with some contingent payments subsequently
remeasured at fair value through income. Goodwill may be calculated based on the
parent company's share of net assets or it may include goodwill related to the
minority interest. All transaction costs will be expensed. The Group's
management is assessing the impact of this revision on the consolidated
financial statements.
IAS 27 (Revised), Consolidated and separate financial statements. The revised
standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests
to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control. Thus, transactions
with non-controlling interests will no longer result in goodwill or the
recognition of gains or losses through profit or loss. The standard also
specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the
entity is remeasured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognised through
profit or loss. The Group's management is clarifying the effect of the standard
on the consolidated financial statements.
An assessment indicates that the following interpretations and standards have no
essential bearing on Lemminkäinen Group's financial statements: IAS 39
(Amendment), IFRS 5 (Amendment), IFRIC 17 and IFRIC 18

| 7) SEGMENT | | | | | | |
| INFORMATION | | | | | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Lemminkäinen Group, management means the CEO of Lemminkäinen Corporation, who
is the chief
operating decision-maker. Internal segment reporting to management covers net
sales, depreciation,
operating profit, financial items, profit before taxes, non-current assets and
liabilities, inventories, trade
receivables and accounts payable.
The segment information reported to management is generally prepared according
to the same principles as those applied in the consolidated financial
statements. Imputed items are not considered in segment reporting. Such items
include, among others, depreciation of assets acquired by finance leasing,
interest separated from payments, warranty provisions, and unrealised gains or
losses on derivatives. In segment reporting to management, finance leasing
arrangements are treated as ordinary rental agreements, which deviates from the
accounting principles of IFRS financial statements. Affiliated companies are
combined in segment reporting in proportion to ownership share using the
line-by-line method. In IFRS financial statements affiliated companies are
combined by the equity method. In segment reporting, intersegment sales are not
allocated to segments, owing to their minimal magnitude, and are not reported to
management.

14) LITIGATION
In December 2007 the Market Court ordered seven asphalt industry companies to
pay a total of EUR 19.4 million in infringement fines for contravention of
competition laws, EUR 14 million of which was imposed on Lemminkäinen. The
Finnish Competition Authority had proposed to the Market Court that Lemminkäinen
be fined EUR 68 million.
In addition to Lemminkäinen, the Finnish Competition Authority and some of the
other asphalt industry companies appealed the decision to the Supreme
Administrative Court, which has announced its intention to give its decision on
the matter in September 2009.
According to plaints submitted to the Helsinki District Court, different
municipalities will demand compensatory damages from Lemminkäinen and other
asphalt companies if the Supreme Administrative Court finds that activities in
breach of competition restriction law have taken place in the municipalities in
question. The Finnish Road Administration has demanded compensation of at most
EUR 10.5 million from Lemminkäinen and at most a further EUR 5.6 million under
joint and several liability with other asphalt companies.
The claims are based on the Finnish Competition Authority's assertions that
unlawful restrictions of competition would have raised the price level of
asphalt paving at certain times. Lemminkäinen has disputed these arguments
before the Market Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. In addition, a
large proportion of the plaints that have come to Lemminkäinen's attention
concern areas and/or times in and/or at which the Market Court considered in its
decision that Lemminkäinen had not acted in breach of competition restriction
law.
All of the plaintiffs have requested that the compensation claims be suspended
and proceedings continued only if the Supreme Administrative Court decides that
Lemminkäinen did breach competition restriction law in the areas and at the
times specified in the plaints. Lemminkäinen has acceded to the requests for
suspension, but regards the presented claims for compensation as baseless. No
expense provision has been made in respect of the claims.
