Mikko Kilpeläinen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with
the interim report: 

“The Group's net sales have remained at an unsatisfactory level throughout the
first three quarters of the year. The company has been unable to expedite sales
in the desired manner. However, the Group's order book is higher than in the
corresponding period of 2011, which is satisfactory in light of the market
situation. 

We are prepared to initiate major changes in order to facilitate a turnaround
in unsatisfactory trends. Today, Honkarakenne has decided to analyse the
potential for reducing the number of locations, with the aim of consolidating
operations in Finland. The aim is to significantly enchance operations and
improve the company's competitiveness. Negotiations under the act on
co-operation are believed to be completed by the end of December. 

In October, we announced that we would be streamlining our operations by
focusing on strategically selected main market areas and customer segments. The
central task of the new Executive Group, which was appointed by the Board of
Directors on 25 October 2012, will be to hone the company's operations in
potential growth areas in particular. From now on, all operations are based on
taking advantage of these selected growth areas.” 

NET SALES

Honkarakenne Group's consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2012
decreased by 11 % to MEUR 12.3 (13.9). The net sales in Finland decreased by 14
% to MEUR 5.2 (6.2). In export, net sales decreased by 7 % to MEUR 6.9 (7.4). 

Honkarakenne Group's consolidated net sales for January-September 2012 were
MEUR 32.3, compared to MEUR 41.4 in the same period the previous year.

Other markets, includes the following countries: Bulgaria, China, Croatia,
Mongolia, North and South America, Romania, Serbia, Turkey as well as new
target countries and markets. 

In addition, the sales of factory process waste for recycling will be reported
separately from the actual Honkarakenne core business operations. 

DEVELOPMENT OF RESULT AND PROFITABILITY

Operating result in January-June was MEUR -1.3 (MEUR 2.0), and result before
taxes was MEUR -1.6 (MEUR 1.5). Operating result without non-recurring items in
January-September was MEUR -1.3 (MEUR 1.7). 

The change in the operating result was due to lower net sales than in 2011, as
well as investments in marketing, training the Group's sales network, and
developing operations in Japan. The result for the comparison period was
improved by a non-recurring item of MEUR 0.3 from the divestment of our holding
in Karjalan Lisenssisaha Invest Oy. 

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

In the course of the period under review, the financial position of the Group
remained satisfactory. The equity ratio stood at 53 % (52 %) and
interest-bearing net liabilities at MEUR 3.5 (MEUR 7.0). MEUR 2.1 (2.4) of the
interest-bearing net liabilities carries a 30 % equity ratio covenant term.
Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 2.9 (MEUR 2.4). The Group also has a MEUR 8.0
(MEUR 10.0) bank overdraft facility, MEUR 0.0 (MEUR 2.3) of which had been
drawn on at the end of the report period. Gearing stood at 21 % (38 %). The
Group's capital expenditure totalled MEUR 0.9 (MEUR 0.6). 

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Based on a report commissioned by RTS Oy, Finnish log house production is
expected to decrease by 7 % this year. The figure includes production for
Finland and for export. 

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING

In Finland, our third-quarter operations concentrated on campaigns offering
construction benefits to those who made quick purchase decisions. We
strengthened our network of representatives and continued representatives'
competence training. We also continued to revamp the content of our websites in
line with our strategy. 

In the West, we ran a 20th-anniversary campaign in Germany. In France, we
invested in trade fair visibility among those building detached houses. New
sales locations were opened in this market area. 

In the East, we improved the coverage of our sales network with the addition of
new retailers. In Russia, Honkarakenne received an award for a project
construction site encompassing 22 luxury detached houses. 

In the Far East, a new sales office was opened in the 2011 earthquake area in
Japan. We invested in marketing communications in the press, as well as
marketing co-operation with Finnish brands. 

In our Other Markets, we focused on individual major project sites.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Honkarakenne was granted PEFC certification, which indicates that the company
employs a PEFC-approved mechanism for tracking the origin of timber. 

In the January-September period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.3
(MEUR 0.4), representing 0.8 % of net sales (1.0 %). The Group did not
capitalise any development expenditure during the report period. 

STAFF AND MANAGEMENT

At the end of the September, the Group employed 258 people (266) on average.
This is 8 less than at the same time in the previous year. 

At the end of the third quarter, Honkarakenne held negotiations under the act
on co-operation. The negotiations were a continuation of the company's
adjustment measures, which seek to safeguard competitiveness in view of
seasonal fluctuations and sales trends. As a result of these negotiations,
Honkarakenne's personnel can be temporarily laid off for a maximum of 90 days
until the end of April 2013. Another 36 employees have already been laid off
for an indefinite period as a result of the negotiations that were held in the
first quarter. 

The company's CEO, Esa Rautalinko, resigned on 27 January 2012. On 2 February
2012, the Board of Directors appointed the company's CFO, Mikko Jaskari, as
acting CEO. On 7 May 2012, the Board appointed Mikko Kilpeläinen as the new
CEO. Mikko Kilpeläinen took up his new position on 1 August 2012. 

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S 2012 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND AUDITORS

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Honkarakenne Oyj was held at the company's
headquarters in Tuusula on 30 March 2012. The AGM confirmed the financial
statements of the parent company and Group, and discharged from liability the
board members and CEO for 2011. The AGM decided that no dividends be paid for
the 2011 financial year. The AGM decided that a repayment of capital totalling
EUR 0.08 per share be paid from the Fund for invested unrestricted equity. 

Anders Adlercreutz, Lasse Kurkilahti, Mauri Saarelainen, Marko Saarelainen,
Mauri Niemi, Teijo Pankko, and Pirjo Ruuska were re-elected to the Board of
Directors. The Board's organisation meeting elected Lasse Kurkilahti the
Chairman of the Board. Mauri Saarelainen will serve as the Deputy Chairman.
Board of Directors decided not to set up any committees. 

KPMG Oy Ab, Corporation of Authorized Public Accountants, was reappointed as
auditor of the company with Mr Reino Tikkanen, APA, as chief auditor. 

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S OWN SHARES AND AUTHORISATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Honkarakenne has not acquired its own shares during the report period. At the
end of the report period, the Group held 364,385 of its Honkarakenne B shares
with a total purchase price of EUR 1,381,750.23. These shares represent 7.05 %
of the company's capital stock and 3.35 % of all votes. The purchase cost has
been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial
statements. 

On 30 March 2012, the AGM decided that the Board of Directors will be
authorised to acquire a maximum of 400,000 of the company's own B shares with
assets included in the company's unrestricted equity. In addition, the AGM
authorised the Board to decide on a rights issue or bonus issue and on granting
special rights to shares referred to in Section 1 of Chapter 10 of the Limited
Liability Companies Act in one or more instalments. By virtue of the
authorisation, the Board may issue a maximum total of 400,000 new shares and/or
relinquish old B shares held by the company, including those shares that can be
issued by virtue of special rights. Both authorisations will be valid until 25
March 2013. 

TRANSFERRING THE RESERVE FUND'S ASSETS TO THE INVESTED UNRESTRICTED EQUITY FUND

As decided in the AGM on 30 March 2012 the reserve fund recognised on the
balance sheet on 31 December 2011 has been reduced by the sum of EUR
5,316,389.64, by transferring all of the reserve fund's assets to the invested
unrestricted equity fund. The transfer of the reserve fund's assets to the
invested unrestricted equity fund enhances the flexibility of the company's
capital structure and increases distributable equity. 

OWNERSHIP CHANGES IN GROUP COMPANIES 
On 29 March 2012 Honkarakenne redeemed the shares of Honka Management Oy
previously owned by Esa Rautalinko based on the shareholders' agreement. Even
before this redeeming Honkarakenne Oyj has had control of Honka Management Oy
based on the shareholders' agreement and the company has also previously been
included in the consolidated financial statements. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Finnish
Corporate Governance Code, 1 October 2010, for listed companies issued by the
Finnish Securities Market Association. The company's website, www.honka.com,
provides more information on the corporate governance systems. 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The market situation is unstable. General economic uncertainty factors, such as
the personnel reductions that have been carried out in several market areas,
are being reflected in customers' unwillingness to make decisions on major
construction projects. Sales are still being affected by longer sales times and
a dearth of long-term pre-orders. 

At the end of September, the Group's order book stood at MEUR 19.0, which is a
15 % increase from the MEUR 16.5 of the same time period in the previous year.
The order book refers to orders whose delivery date falls within the next 24
months. Some orders may include a financing or building permit condition. 

FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Although the Group's order book is 15 % better than last year, there is a risk
that the Group will not be able to expedite sales in the desired manner.
Customers are taking longer to decide on investments due to general economic
uncertainty. 

The Group has one significant concentration of credit risks in sales
receivables, concerning the open sales receivables of one importer. No
provision for doubtful debt has been made for this. The new sales made with
this importer have been paid and open sales receivables have been amortised as
per the agreement. Deliveries to the importer have continued, and the risks
with the open sales receivables have not increased. 

The assessment of amounts in the balance sheet is based on current assessment
by the management. If these assessments are changed, this may result in changes
to the Group's result. 

REPORTING

This report contains statements that relate to the future, and these statements
are based on hypotheses that the company's management hold currently as well as
on the decisions and plans that are currently in place. Although the management
believes that the hypotheses relating to the future are well-founded, there is
no guarantee that the said hypotheses will prove to be correct. 

This interim report has been prepared in line with the IFRS principles of
bookkeeping and assessment, but it does not meet all of the requirements of
standard IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The interim report should be
read together with the accounts for 2011. The new revised standards or
interpretations effective as of 1 January 2012 have no bearing on the figures
presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined by the
auditor. 

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

On 25 October 2012, Honkarakenne's Board of Directors appointed a new Executive
Group, which consists of the following: Mikko Kilpeläinen, CEO; Mikko Jaskari,
CFO; Sami Leinonen, Business Area Finland & Baltics; Pekka Elo, Business Area
Global Markets; Sanna Wester, Marketing, Planning and R&D; and Reijo Virtanen,
Operations. In addition a new executive for Business Area Russia & CIS will be

areas and customer segments. With the appointment of the new Executive Group,
the company now has three business areas that are responsible for their own
sales, customer relations and business development. Marketing, planning and R&D

more customer-oriented service.

On 8 November 2012, Honkarakenne's Board of Directors decided to analyse the
potential for reducing the number of locations, with the aim of consolidating
operations in Finland. Negotiations under the act on co-operation are believed
to be completed by the end of December. 

OUTLOOK FOR 2012

Honkarakenne repeats its previous guidance that the net sales and profit before
taxes in 2012 will be lower than the previous year. Today, Honkarakenne has
decided to convene negotiations under the act on co-operation with the aim of
consolidating production structure and operations. It is possible that due to
co-operational negotiations there might be non-recurring write-offs and
restructuring costs which are not included in current guidance. Possible costs
and write-offs will be specified during the co-operational negotiations.

NOTES TO THE REPORT

Calculation methods

This interim report has been prepared in line with the IFRS principles of
bookkeeping and assessment, but it does not meet all of the requirements of
standard IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The interim report should be
read together with the accounts for 2011. The new revised standards or
interpretations effective as of 1 January 2012 have no bearing on the figures
presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined by the
auditor. 

Honka Management Oy, established year 2010 and owned by the top management of
the company, has been included in the consolidated financial statements due to
the terms and conditions of the shareholder agreement concluded between it and
Honkarakenne Oyj. 

Honkarakenne has one operating segment, the manufacture, sales and marketing of
log houses, under the Honka brand. Geographically, the sales of the Group
divide as follows: Finland, West, East, Far East, Other markets and Process
waste sales for recycling. The internal reporting of the management is in line
with IFRS reporting. For this reason, separate reconciliations are not
presented.
