HONKARAKENNE OYJ	INTERIM REPORT 14 MAY 2009 at 9.00 AM                 

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2009                    

Honkarakenne's consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2009 amounted to 
EUR 11.5 million (EUR 17.8 million). Profit before taxes showed a loss of EUR   
1.2 million (loss of EUR 0.6 million) and the earnings/share ratio was a loss of
EUR 0.27 (loss of EUR 0.13). The weak advance sales in the second half of the   
previous year were reflected in the delivery volumes at the start of this year  
in all market areas. If the market forecast holds, we can expect an improvement 
this year on last year's total profit figure.

DEVELOPMENT OF NET SALES AND PROFIT                                             

Honkarakenne's consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2009 amounted to 
EUR 11.5 million, compared with EUR 17.8 million in the same period last year.  
Net sales decreased by EUR 6.2 million and remained 35% below last year's       
figure. Domestic net sales decreased by EUR 1.0 million (-14%), and export net  
sales by EUR 5.2 million (-49%).                                                

The operating result for January-March amounted to a loss of EUR 1.2 million    
(loss of EUR 0.5 million), and profit before taxes showed a loss of EUR 1.2     
million (loss of EUR 0.6 million). The impact of the adjustment measures that   
were launched last autumn will not show in full until the second half of this   
year.                                                                           

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS                                                       

The Group's financial position has remained satisfactory. The equity ratio stood
at 30.9% (38.7%) and interest-bearing net liabilities at EUR 20.6 million (EUR  
12.4 million). Group liquid assets totalled EUR 2.6 million (EUR 2.4 million).  
Gearing stood at 135.9% (69.5%). Capital expenditure totalled EUR 0.7 million   
(EUR 1.1 million).                                                              

MARKET DEVELOPMENT                                                              

The decline in the number of started building projects of single-family and     
holiday homes in Finland and the corresponding cut in the number of building    
permits granted escalated in the second half of last year. This market trend has
continued in the first months of the current year. The downward slide in the    
number of building permits concerns both single-family dwellings and holiday    
homes. At the beginning of May the realized sales and order books of the entire 
Finnish log house construction industry stood at 32 per cent less than in the   
previous year. Domestic sales shrank by 24% and export sales by 40%. Overall    
construction costs have fallen from last year, and it is estimated that the     
price of timber has now bottomed out in the sawn goods markets.                 

All export markets are experiencing the same market conditions. The economic    
slowdown has caused a sharp decline in demand, and customers remain cautious in 
their decision-making. In several export markets, the disruptions in the finance
markets slow down, or even prevent, sales that would otherwise go through.      
Devaluations of currencies in the East European sector has compromised those    
countries' purchasing power vis-à-vis the euro and cut demand, as well as       
delaying the deliveries of concluded sales.                                     

In these weakening markets, poor demand has increased price competition; this   
will undermine the relative profitability of the Group in 2009 despite the lower
raw material and production costs.

At the end of March, the Group's order book amounted to EUR 19.8 million. The   
corresponding figure for the same period last year was EUR 38.3 million.        

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING                                                          

The company launched its new log products, the Honka Duo eco round log and the  
Honka Major multi-laminated log, at the beginning of this year. Honka Duo is a  
new-generation ecological round log which enables the construction of houses    
with a modern demeanour using slightly oval-shaped round logs. Thanks to the    
production process, any splitting, bending or settling has been minimized in the
Duo, and the round log houses are consequently better sealed and more energy    
efficient than previously. The product enjoys model protection within the EU.   

At 270 mm, the new Honka Major log product is the largest of the multi-laminated
logs produced by Honkarakenne. It is designed to be used in single-family       
housing and buildings requiring a smart appearance. It already meets the new    
energy regulations that are due to come into force at the beginning of 2010 in  
Finland.                                                                        

New energy solutions were launched in Finland to correspond to different user   
needs. The new solutions save 30-80% of heating energy in relation to the levels
imposed by regulations on round-the-year accommodation. The launch of the Honka 
Fusion product and the training of partners were ongoing in France and Japan.   
Honka Fusion lends itself particularly well to modern design solutions, such as 
the combination of glass, stone, timber and steel. It allows designers the      
freedom to create sustainable and ecological solid wood houses.                 

STAFF                                                                           
At the end of March, the Group employed 393 people. This is 25 less than at the 
same time in the previous year. The reduction was mostly from the parent        
company.                                                                        

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2009, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND          
ACCOUNTANTS                                                                     

Honkarakenne Oyj's annual general meeting was held on Friday 3 April 2009. The  
general meeting confirmed the financial statements of the parent company and the
Group, and released the Board members and the President from liability for the  
year of 2008. The annual general meeting decided that no dividend would be      
payable for the financial year.                                                 

The following Board members were elected to continue in office: Mauri           
Saarelainen, Tomi Laamanen, Mauri Niemi and Pirjo Ruuska. Lasse Kurkilahti and  
Marko Saarelainen were elected as new members. The Board meeting elected Lasse  
Kurkilahti as chairman.                                                         

KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Public Accountants, was selected to continue as the      
company's auditor with Ari Eskelinen as chief accountant.                       

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S OWN SHARES AND AUTHORIZATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS       

Honkarakenne Oyj repurchased 5,185 shares during the period under review, for an
average price of EUR 2.68 per share. At the end of the review period the company
held 213,885 of its B shares with a total nominal value of EUR 427,770.00 and a 
total purchase price of EUR 1,137,564.73. These shares represent 5.71% of the   
company's capital stock and 2.26% of the voting rights. The purchase cost has   
been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial           
statements.                                                                     

The Board of Directors has been granted a share repurchase authorization, valid 
until 26 March 2010, to repurchase company shares following which the company   
and its subsidiaries would hold a maximum of 10% of the company's capital stock.
The Board of Directors has also been granted authority, also valid until 26     
March 2010, to dispose of 374,896 B shares.                                     

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM                                                     

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Corporate Governance recommendations for listed    
companies issued by OMX Nordic Exchange in Helsinki, the Central Chamber of     
Commerce and the Confederation of Finnish Industries EK.                        

CHANGES IN IFRS REPORTING                                                       

As of 1 January 2009, the Group applies the following standard: IFRS 8 Operating
Segments. The segment data presented under the standard must be based on        
internal reports submitted to the management and the accounting principles      
observed therein. The application of the new standard will not change the data  
that is presented on the Group segments. Honkarakenne only reports on one       
segment: the manufacture, sale and marketing of log houses. Additional          
information is provided in accordance with the following geographical breakdown:
Finland, Central Europe, Far East and other countries.                          

FUTURE OUTLOOK                                                                  

During the winter months, demand flattened to a much lower level than in the    
previous year. The market conditions in the company's principal markets are     
expected to improve slightly, with the industry starting to climb out of the    
deepest hole, with a helping hand from recent positive economic news. Other     
positive contributory factors are the lower construction costs and the          
historically low interest rate levels, both of which will boost demand. Major   
projects will start to move only when the general economic situation improves.  

Due to weak advance sales in the second half of last year and in the first part 
of this year, net sales throughout the Finnish log industry are forecast to drop
by 20-30% in the current financial year. Similarly, the annual consolidated net 
sales of Honkarakenne are expected to be appreciably lower this year than last  
year. Business expenditure has been adjusted to cope with the distinctly smaller
net sales, while significant cost savings compared to last year are sought      
through various procedures and measures. Provided that the market situation     
holds, a higher annual profit figure that that of last year's is forecast for   
the current year.                                                               

FORTHCOMING RISKS                                                               

The most significant risks in the near future are linked to the operation of the
finance markets and the development of the general economic situation. The sawn 
goods markets have seen extensive adjustment measures in production and in the  
short term, when demand picks up, we may experience delivery problems linked to 
the availability of wood raw material.                                          

EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW                                            

This year, production will be discontinued at the Paltamo factory of            
Honkarakenne's subsidiary Finwood Oy and transferred to the company's main      
production plants in Karstula and Alajärvi. On 9 April 2009, 18 Finwood         
employees were dismissed.
