To the shareholders of Raisio Group plc
We have audited the accounting, the financial statements and
the corporate governance of Raisio Group plc for the period
1.1. -31.12.2004. The financial statements, which include the
report of the Board of Directors, consolidated and parent company
income statements, balance sheets and notes to the financial
statements, have been prepared by the Board of Directors and
the Managing Director. Based on our audit we express an opinion
on these financial statements and on corporate governance of the
parent company.
We have conducted the audit in accordance with Finnish Standards
on Auditing. Those standards require that we perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by the management
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The purpose of our audit of corporate governance is to examine
that the members of the Supervisory Board, the members of the
Board of Directors and the Managing Director have legally
complied with the rules of the Companies' Act.

In our opinion the financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Accounting Act and other rules and regulations
governing the preparation of financial statements. The financial
statements give a true and fair view, as defined in the Accounting
Act, of both the consolidated and parent company's result of
operations as well as of the financial position. The financial
statements with the consolidated financial statements can be
adopted and the members of the Supervisory Board, the members
of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of the parent
company can be discharged from liability for the period audited
by us. The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the
distribution of retained earnings is in compliance with the Companies'
Act.
