INTERIM REPORT FOR JANUARY-JUNE 2007                                            


- January-June net sales were EUR 27.8 million (EUR 26.5 million).              
- January-June pre-tax loss was EUR -3.1 million (EUR -2.1 million)             
- The second quarter net sales were EUR 14.4 million (EUR 12.2 million)         
- The second quarter pre-tex loss was EUR -1.8 million (EUR -1.7 million)       


MARKETS AND SALES                                                               

Competition continued to be tight in the European paperboard markets and the    
weakening of the US dollar against the Euro makes the competition even more     
challenging.                                                                    

The demand for the company's products was satisfactory during the first quarter,
and improved during the second quarter. The average backlog is now two weeks.   

The demand for Tecta food packaging board has been strong during the period and 
the strong growth is expected to continue throughout the whole year.            

The company launched the improved graphical boards with higher whiteness and    
better printability as planned in the beginning of the year: the new GraphiArt  
Pro and the improved GraphiArt Duo. The introduction of the new graphical boards
has been a market success and the share of graphical boards in the company's    
product portfolio is expected to grow during the next quarters. Additionally,   
the service centers opened in Spain and U.K. had a positive impact on customer  
satisfaction.                                                                   


NET SALES AND RESULTS                                                           

Stromsdal Group´s consolidated net sales for January 1 - June 30 totaled EUR    
27.8 million (EUR 26.5 million). Consolidated operating result was EUR -2.3     
million (EUR -1.4 million). Net loss was EUR -3.1 million (EUR -2.1 million).   

Net sales in April - June period were EUR 14.4 million (EUR 12.2 million).      
Operating loss was EUR -1.4 million (EUR -1.3 million). Pre-tax loss for the    
period was EUR -1.8 million (EUR -1.7 million).                                 

The sales volume was slightly higher in January - June 2007 compared to the     
previous year and the orderinflow has been good. The high share of commodity    
boards, however, still reduced the financial results of the period.             

The production volume reached 30,400 tons (27,600 tons). Some additional        
investments in the groundwood mill restricted the production efficiency in the  
beginning of the year. The maintenance shut down week 25 with consecutive       
production losses significantly weakened the results of June. Price increases in
main raw materials including energy have raised the production costs during the 
period.                                                                         


FINANCIAL POSITION                                                              

The operative cash flow was EUR -1.1 million (EUR 1.2 million). Cash flow from  
investments was EUR -1.3 million (EUR -1.1 million).                            

The cash flow has been significantly weakened by the temporary overstocking of  
pulpwood and short fibre pulp due to expected market shortages.                 

In June 2006 the Ministry of Trade and Industry granted the company an          
investment aid of EUR 1.5 million from an investment program totalling EUR 5.1  
million. From this program EUR 2.6 million has been invested. The first part of 
the investment aid (EUR 0.5 million)) was received in March 2007. The remaining 
part, EUR 1.0 million, will be applied for in two parts after qualified         
investments are done.                                                           

The company's cash flow has become tight and the company is negotiating         
additional financing. If the negotiations fail, necessary investments will be   
postponed. The company has also agreed with its main financiers to postpone the 
debt repayments until the end of 2007.                                          


CAPITAL EXPENDITURE                                                             

Implementation of the company's investment program continued during the second  
quarter and in January - June capital expenditure totalled EUR 1.8 million (EUR 
0.7 million).                                                                   

The biggest single investment item was the groundwood mill improvement done at  
the turn of the year. With this investment the target brightness level of the   
graphical boards was reached. During week 25 shut down, improvement investments 
were implemented in the mill together with maintenance. The second stage of     
pressure ground wood pulp bleaching and washing investments will be completed in
August.                                                                         

The year 2006 started Turn Around program will continue as revised in 2007 and  
it will aim at improving the water management of the mill as well as enhancing  
the drying capacity on the off-machine coater to secure the supply of the       
rapidly growing Tecta food packaging grades. In addition the finishing          
department throughput will be improved.                                         


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                                                        

During the period, quality improvements, such as higher brightness, were made on
the graphical boards and development work intended to broaden Tecta food        
packaging applications continues.                                               


PERSONNEL                                                                       

During the period the company had an average of 216 (201) employees. At the end 
of the period there were 236 (220) employees, of whom 187 persons were permanent
and 49 persons were temporary staff and summer vacation replacements. The number
of maintenance employees, 27 persons which were taken back into the company's   
payroll in August 2006, is not included in the reference number from the        
previous year.                                                                  

Redundancies of employees agreed upon in the employer-employee negotiations in  
September 2006 have been implemented with the exception of 1 vacancy (5         
persons), as the implementation of the slitter-winder investment was postponed. 

However, the number of personnel increased by the persons employed to strenthen 
the company's sales and production teams and also by mandatory summer vacation  
shift arrangements in the production.                                           

The company has made an agreement with Silta Oy to outsource the company's      
payroll to be implemented by the end of year 2007.                              


SHARES                                                                          

The trading volume of Stromsdal Oyj shares for 1 January - 30 June 2007 totalled
1,391,353, accounting for 8.58 per cent of the total number of shares. Share    
turnover came to EUR 0.93 million with the period's lowest and highest share    
price amounting to EUR 0.80 and EUR 0.56, respectively. At the end of the       
period, the shares closed at EUR 0.56 and the market capitalisation totalled EUR
9.40 million.                                                                   

The AGM on 29 March 2007 resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide 
on the issuing of new shares of the company and on the transferring special     
rights to receive new shares in the company. A maximum amount of 5,000,000 new  
shares may be issued. In addition, the authorization includes the right to      
decide on a share issue to the company itself free of charge so that the        
aggregate amount of shares issued to the company is a maximum of one tenth      
(1/10) of the total amount of shares in the company.                            

The company has a share option scheme, approved at the AGM of 22 May 2002 and   
adjusted at the EGM of 29 June 2006. A maximum increase of the company's share  
capital is EUR 86,340. The subscription period started on 1 July 2005 and       
expired on 1 July 2007, during which period none of the options had been        
exercised.                                                                      


NEAR FUTURE RISKS                                                               

During the second quarter the availability of pulp wood and short-fibre pulp    
were limited. This has substantially raised the raw material prices. The        
availability has now been secured, but price increases are expected to continue.

The price increases of main raw materials for the company and possible shortages
will increase the production costs and reduce the company's profitability. This 
negative impact will be compensated as much as possible by implementing steps to
improve efficiencies in logistics, sales and production.                        

If the company's profitability and cash flow fail to improve during the year,   
necessary investments may not be completed according to schedule. In case the   
profitability and cash flow fail to improve the company has a liquidity risk.   

Downward markets and unfavourable currency exchange rates, especially in U.S.   
dollar, may have a negative impact on the company's result.

in the company's Annual Report for 2006.                                        


PROSPECTS FOR 2007                                                              

The financial results for the year will be negative. The result for the second  
part of year 2007 is expected to be better than the first part of the year.
