Accounting policies                                                             

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim     
Financial Reporting standard, as approved by the EU. The calculation principles 
observed in the interim report are the same as in the 2009 financial statements.


Market                                                                          

There were fewer new starts in office construction in 2009 than in the previous 
year, and fewer building permits were granted.                                  


Group structure                                                                 

There were no changes in the Group structure during the review period or the    
comparison period.                                                              

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.

Ukraine, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in each of which sales are   
handled by established dealers. Business Unit Poland is based in Warsaw, where

Product development and Martela's collection                                    
                                                                                
Product development and the management of Martela's collection are the          
responsibility of two Group-level organisations. Brand & Product Portfolio is   
responsible for management of the collection and brand, and Product Development 
and Marketing is responsible for the development of innovative products and the 
Group's marketing communications.                                               
                                                                                
The first half of 2010 saw the launch of some interesting new products. A larger
James+ chair was added to the James task chair range. The versatile range of    
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.

2010 Annual General Meeting                                                     

The Annual General Meeting of Martela Corporation was held on Tuesday 16 March  
2010. The meeting approved the financial statements for 2009 and discharged the 
members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director from liability. The 
AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to distribute 
a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share.                                               

Heikki Ala-Ilkka, Tapio Hakakari, Jori Keckman, Heikki Martela, Pekka Martela,  
Jaakko Palsanen and new member Pinja Metsäranta were elected as members of the  
Board of Directors. KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, was elected as   
the company's auditor.                                                          

The AGM also approved the Board of Directors' proposals, detailed in the meeting
notice, to authorise the Board to acquire and/or dispose of Martela shares. The 
AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to amend the  
company's Articles of Association (with respect to delivery of the meeting      
notice).

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                                                                

Low demand will have an effect on the company's revenue and operating profit in 
2010. The company will continue to review its cost structure and to improve the 
efficiency of its operations.
