This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS recognition and   
measurement principles, but not all the IAS 34 requirements have been complied  
with. The interim report should be read in conjunction with the 2009 financial  
statements.                                                                     

Market                                                                          

Fewer office buildings were completed in Finland this year (January-June) than  
last year (-14%).  In the same period, more building permits were issued (+53%) 
than the previous year and new office building starts were also markedly up on  
2009 (+155%).                                                                   

Group structure

other changes have taken place in the group structure.                          

Segment reporting                                                               

The segments presented in the interim report comply with the company's segment  
division. The comparison period figures have also been rendered in the same way.
The business segments are based on the Group's internal organisational structure
and internal financial reporting.                                               
Sales between segments are reported as part of the segments' revenue. The       
segments' results are their operating profits, because tax items and financial  
items are not allocated to the segments. The Group's assets and liabilities are 
not allocated or monitored by segment in the internal financial reporting.      
Revenue and the operating result are as recorded in the consolidated financial  
statements.

centres in Poland. The Business Unit's principal export countries are Ukraine,  
the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in each of which sales are handled by          
established dealers. Business Unit Poland is based in Warsaw, where it has its  
logistics centre and administration.

adjustments possible with this task chair, which is designed by Iiro Viljanen,  
enhance the wellbeing of the chair's user. The MyBox desk and the Book space    
divider/shelf, previously presented as concepts, are now in production. These   
new products share the characteristics of versatility and new and innovative    
thinking. The MyBox desk, designed by Iiro Viljanen, has a lid that can be      
closed to protect the work items on the desk, with the lid's upper surface at   
the same time serving as a fresh desk top that can be used for a meeting, for   
example. Designed by Pekka Toivola, Book combines the characteristics of a space
divider and a storage unit in a new way. The overall look and scope can be      
easily varied by combining the elements in various ways.                        

In Finland, the service product range was expanded at the beginning of the year 
with an innovative addition to the services available for office premises. This 
consisted of a new system for keeping track of office furniture for inventory   
and other purposes. The system is based on radio frequency identification (RFID)
and is a unique way of managing office property. The new system has been very   
well received by our customers.

Short-term risks                                                                

The greatest risk to profit performance is related to the continuation of       
general economic uncertainty and the consequent effects on the overall demand   
for office furniture.                                                           

More information on risks is given in the company's annual report.              


Outlook for 2010                                                                

The period of low demand that started in the beginning of 2009 has continued in 
2010. This will have an effect on the company's revenue and operating profit in 
2010.
