(11 per cent) of whom worked in Finland, 29 per cent (7 per cent) in Sweden, 58
per cent (79 per cent) in Russia and 2 per cent (3 per cent) in the Baltic

market share took place in the review period.
Pharmaceutical Trade Finland had 492 (405) employees at the end of June 2010.
Oriola-KD's logistics centres are located in Espoo and Oulu. The increase of
personnel is mainly due to recruitments to replace leased work force, labour
intensive new products and the provision of certain transitional services in
relation to the divestment of the Healthcare Trade.
Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden
Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's net sales in January-June 2010 were EUR 422.4
million (EUR 256.9 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 166.3 million

EUR 16.3 million), which includes discounts from pharmaceutical companies
associated with purchases. The Russian pharmaceutical market growth in Russian
rubles was some 0 per cent in January-June 2010 (some 30 per cent), which
together with the price control system has led to very intense competition.
Oriola-KD's net sales increased by about 8 per cent (35 per cent) in Russian
rubles in January-June 2010.
Second-quarter net sales came to EUR 132.8 million (EUR 106.6 million), of which

2010, of whom 1,277 (1,609) were employed in retail and 1,489 (1,510) in

Risks
The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD has approved the company's risk management
policy in which the risk management operating model, principles,
responsibilities and reporting are specified. The Group's risk management seeks
to identify, measure and manage risks that may threaten the operations of the
company and the achievement of goals set for them. The roles and
responsibilities relating to risk management have been determined in the Group.
Oriola-KD's risks are classified as strategic, operational and financial. Risk
management is a key element of the strategic process, operational planning and
daily decision-making at Oriola-KD.
Oriola-KD has identified the following principal strategic and operational risks
in its business:
* changes in bargaining position vis-à-vis suppliers and customers;
* impacts of the changes in Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden on business;
* impacts of the changes in Pharmaceutical Trade Russia on business;
* maintenance of cost-effectiveness and flexibility in costs;
* provision of competitive products and services in expanding and
consolidating markets; and
* commitment of key employees.
The major financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency exchange rates,
interest rates, liquidity and credit.
Oriola-KD's exposure to risks relating to businesses and financial risks has
increased with the expansion into the Russian pharmaceutical retail and
wholesale market and the Swedish pharmaceutical retail market. Currency risks
are the most significant of Oriola-KD's financial risks in Russia and Sweden, as
any changes in the value of the Russian ruble or the Swedish krona will have an
impact on Oriola-KD's financial performance and equity.
Goodwill and intangible rights are subject to annual impairment testing, which
may have a negative effect on Oriola-KD's financial performance.
Near-term risks and uncertainty factors
The difficult state of the Russian economy, intense competition and the price
control system have a material impact on Oriola-KD near-term outlook in the
country. The development of the Swedish pharmacy market is subject to
uncertainties that may have a substantial effect on Oriola-KD's Swedish
business.

funds, in one or more batches, from the company's invested non-restricted equity
fund or both so that the amount of the additional dividend and/or return of
capital paid under the authorisation would not exceed EUR 0.05 per share. The
authorisation will be in force until the next annual general meeting.

The Annual General Meeting resolved that article 12 of the Articles of
Association on time of the notice of general meeting be amended.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on the purchase of
Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares in accordance with the Board's proposal.
Pursuant to the authorisation, the Board is authorised to decide on the purchase
of no more than 15,000,000 of the company's own class B shares, corresponding to
approximately 9.92 per cent of the total number of company shares. The
authorisation can only be used in such a way that the company and its
subsidiaries together would hold no more than one tenth (1/10) of the total
number of company shares at any one time. The purchase authorisation would
remain in force no longer than eighteen (18) months following the decision of
the General Meeting. The authorisation revokes the Annual General Meeting's
decision of 16 April 2009 authorising the Board to decide on the purchase of
Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on a share issue of
the company's shares against payment in one or more batches in accordance with
the Board's proposal. The authorisation includes the right to issue new class B
shares or to assign class B shares held by the company. The authorisation covers
no more than thirty million (30,000,000) of the company's class B shares in
total, which corresponds to approximately 19.83 per cent of the total number of
company shares. The authorisation granted to the Board includes the right to
deviate from the pre-emptive subscription right of shareholders, provided that
there are financial grounds considered important from the company's perspective
for such a deviation. The authorisation will remain in force for eighteen (18)
months following the decision of the General Meeting. The authorisation revokes
the share issue authorisations previously received by the Board, with the
exception of the authorisation granted to the Board by the Annual General
Meeting of 13 March 2007, under which the Board may decide on arranging a
directed bonus issue of no more than 650,000 class B shares for the purpose of
implementing the 2007-2009 share-based incentive scheme for management.
The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board to decide on granting the
company's shares to the company in one or more batches under a bonus issue in
accordance with the Board's proposal. The maximum amount of the company's new B
class shares issued under this authorisation is 1,200,000, which was 0.79 per
cent of the company's total shares and 0.11 per cent of total votes. The purpose
of the authorisation is to allow treasury shares to be used as laid out below in
the new share-based incentive scheme or Oriola-KD key persons. The Board was
also authorised to issue class B shares, waiving the pre-emptive subscription
rights of the shareholders according to the Board's proposal. The class B shares
issued may be either new or treasury shares. The total share amount of the
authorisation is 1.200.000 class B shares. The share issue may be a bonus issue.
These shares represent approximately 0.79 per cent of the total number of
company shares and approximately 0.11 per cent of the total number of votes. The
Board may use this authorisation in the new 2010-2012 share-based incentive
scheme or Oriola-KD key persons. The authorisations remain in force for no more
than four (4) years following the decision of the General Meeting.

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2010 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with suppliers and customers, order intake and management assessments. Long-term
fundamentals and growth prospects are expected to be favourable in the
pharmaceutical market.
Oriola-KD expects that the pharmaceutical market in Finland and Sweden will grow
by about 3-5 per cent annually over the next few years in the local currencies,
which is in line with the longer-term average growth rate of these markets. The
Russian pharmaceutical market is expected to see annual growth of approximately
10-15 per cent in Russian rubles in the next few years. The growth of the
Russian pharmaceutical market in 2010 is expected to be significantly slower
than in the long term, mainly because of the difficult state of the Russian
economy, very intense competition and the price control system. Competition in
the Swedish retail market is expected to be stiff in 2010 as a result of the
deregulation.
Oriola-KD's net sales from its continuing operations for 2010 is forecasted to
be higher than in 2009 and operating profit is forecasted to be lower than in
2009. Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's operating profit is forecasted to be clearly
lower than in 2009.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS DISCLOSURE
Acquisition of national pharmacy chain in Sweden (Pharmacy Company Sweden 2 AB)
Oriola-KD announced in November 2009 that it would acquire 100 per cent of the
shares of Pharmacy Company Sweden 2 AB, a national pharmacy cluster with 170
pharmacies. The transaction was executed in February 2010. The acquired pharmacy
business covers only retail activities. The transaction does not include any
contingent considerations. Entering the pharmaceutical retail business in Sweden
is an important part of Oriola-KD's strategy to expand the operations from
pharmaceutical wholesale to retail.
The acquisition cost is calculated on the basis of the company's provisional
balance sheet as per 19 February 2010 prepared in accordance with IFRS and the
Oriola-KD Group's accounting principles in respect of all material elements. The
provisional balance sheet and acquisition cost calculation are unaudited.
The acquisition is accounted for using provisional values as permitted under
IFRS 3R. Over the 12 months following the acquisition, Oriola-KD will make the
necessary adjustments to these provisional values. The fair value of the
identifiable fixed assets was 8.6 million euros and inventory 22.2 million
euros. These figures are provisional figures and the values might be adjusted
during 2010.
The fair value of trade receivables and other receivables is 50.9 million euros
and it does not include any material risk.
The initial purchase price allocation calculation calculated in Swedish crowns
has been translated into euros by using the exchange rate of acquisition date.
The financial result and the balance sheet of the acquired company has been
consolidated into the Oriola-KD Group from the acquisition date, i.e. 19
February 2010.
Business combinations disclosure under IFRS 3 (revised)
The 101.3 million euro goodwill arising from the acquisition is primarily
representing the strong market position, growth expectations, opportunities
after monopoly deregulation and experienced existing personnel as well as
expected synergies with Oriola-KD's sizeable wholesale operations in Sweden.
None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarises the consideration paid for the pharmacy cluster
and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the
acquisition date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of the
non-controlling interest.
