Outlook for 2010 Despite the good start on the year, the market situation in Tikkurila's operating areas is still challenging. General economic development and the pick-up in construction and renovation markets in particular are not yet highly visible in paint sales volumes. The employment situation has remained weak. Demand for industrial paints has been at the levels of the previous year. The importance of the first quarter is low for Tikkurila's operations, because a majority of revenue and earnings are generated during the second and third quarter. The approaching summer season and outdoor painting season have a strong impact on the full-year result. In 2010, Tikkurila's revenue and operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items are expected to remain at the same level as in 2009. The revenue and operating profit estimates do not take into consideration possible effects from exchange rate fluctuations. President and CEO Erkki Järvinen:"Tikkurila was listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and trading of Tikkurila shares began on March 26, 2010. Due to the listing, Tikkurila has good possibilities to develop its business. At the end of March, Tikkurila had more than 30,000 shareholders. We are pleased to offer our investors an opportunity to participate in the growth of a strong Finnish brand company. We can be satisfied with the result in the first quarter, but its importance for the full year results is relatively small. In consumers and professionals sectors we can already see positive signs, but industrial demand has not recovered much. Decisive in terms of full year results will be the approaching summer season and outdoor painting season, which was very successful last year considering the economic circumstances. In terms of Tikkurila's competitiveness, it was essential to specify our strategy and initiate a structural reorganization in 2009. Implementation of the new organization started at the end of 2009. Savings related in particular to raw material costs improved profitability in the first quarter. For the rest of the year, raw material prices are not expected to remain as low as now. In times of economic uncertainty, the importance of strong brands is heightened. We support the distribution chain by, in addition to offering high-quality products, offering marketing support, training and advice. Grafia's Hopeahuippu (Silver Award given by the Association of Professional Graphic Designers in Finland) recognition that was awarded for service design of Tikkurila's Vision shop-in-shop store concept is a proof of Tikkurila's professionalism and innovativeness when it comes to retail marketing as well."

Tikkurila Oyj's Interim Report January 1-March 31, 2010 This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The disclosed information is unaudited. The figures in the tables are independently rounded. All forward-looking statements in this review are based on the management's current expectations and beliefs about future events, and actual results may differ from the expectations and beliefs such statements contain. In case there are any discrepancies between the language versions of the interim report, the Finnish version shall prevail. Financial performance, January-March Tikkurila Group's revenue for January-March 2010 totaled EUR 119.4 (111.2) million, an increase of 7.3% compared to Q1/2009. When comparing Q1/2010 revenue to Q1/2009, the translation of foreign subsidiaries' currency denominated income statements into euro had a EUR 7.3 million positive impact on revenue via changes in exchange rates. Change in sales volumes increased the revenue by EUR 1.7 million. The net impact of all other factors reduced the revenue by EUR 0.8 million. Acquisitions did not have an impact on review period revenue. Seasonality affects Tikkurila's business, and hence, the first quarter revenue is typically lower than the revenue for the second and third quarters. Decorative paints generated about 84% and industrial coatings about 16% of the total revenue. Tikkurila has four reporting segments: SBU East, SBU Finland, SBU Scandinavia, and SBU Central Eastern Europe. Revenue by SBU (EUR million) 1-3/2010 % of total 1-3/2009 Change, % 1-12/2009 SBU East 28.4 23.8% 25.7 10.7% 167.1 SBU Finland 29.2 24.5% 29.2 0.2% 106.8 SBU Scandinavia 39.9 33.4% 36.3 10.0% 157.8 SBU Central Eastern Europe 21.9 18.3% 20.1 8.8% 98.5 Group total 119.4 100.0% 111.2 7.3% 530.2 Operating profit (EBIT) for January-March 2010 clearly increased as compared to the first quarter of 2009 and totaled EUR 7.5 (4.0) million. The key contributor to the positive change was the reduction in the relative share of production costs. In addition, the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates as well as higher sales volume slightly increased EBIT. Operating profit (EBIT) by SBU (EUR million) 1-3/2010 1-3/2009 Change, % 1-12/2009 SBU East -0.1 -0.3 80.8% 17.7 SBU Finland 4.8 3.1 53.7% 12.2 SBU Scandinavia 2.9 2.0 46.2% 15.7 SBU Central Eastern Europe 0.3 -0.3 194.2% 5.0 Other, eliminations -0.5 -0.5 0.0% -3.0 Group total 7.5 4.0 86.5% 47.7 There were no non-recurring items in the operating profit for the review period or for the comparative period, but in full year 2009 a total of EUR 2.4 million of non-recurring expenses were recognized in the second quarter in relation to the implementation of the cost savings procedures. SBU Finland's EBIT included EUR 2.0 million of those non-recurring expenses and SBU Scandinavia EUR 0.4 million. The full-year 2009 operating profit excluding non-recurring items totaled EUR 50.2 million. Net finance expenses for January-March totaled EUR 1.6 (3.8) million. Profit before tax for the review period was EUR 3.6 (-0.6) million. Earnings per share were EUR 0.08 (-0.01). Quarterly financial performance, financial year 2009 Quarterly revenue and operating profit (EBIT) are presented below for the financial year 2009. As can be seen from the table below, typically the second and third quarters have played a central role in determining the full financial year financial results: (EUR million) 1-3/2009 4-6/2009 7-9/2009 10-12/2009 Revenue 111.2 162.4 158.1 98.4 Operating profit (EBIT) 4.0 22.1 26.2 -4.6 Financial performance by SBU, January-March Tikkurila has four reporting segments: SBU East, SBU Finland, SBU Scandinavia, and SBU Central Eastern Europe. SBU East Russia, Ukraine, Central Asian countries and Belarus belong to Strategic Business Unit East. SBU East is headed by Senior Vice President Janno Paju. SBU East, key figures (EUR million) 1-3/2010 1-3/2009 Change, % 1-12/2009 Revenue 28.4 25.7 10.7% 167.1 Operating profit (EBIT) -0.1 -0.3 80.8% 17.7 Operating profit (EBIT) margin -0.2% -1.0% 10.6% Capital expenditure excl. acquisitions 0.7 2.1 -68.8% 7.2 SBU East's revenue for January-March totaled EUR 28.4 (25.7), an increase by 10.7%. The revenue was mainly increased by currency exchange rate changes and by sales volumes. The exchange rates had a positive EUR 1.7 million effect on revenue. In March demand picked up compared to the beginning of the year due to warmer weather. Moreover, signs of recovery in the demand for industrial coatings could be seen. SBU East's operating profit (EBIT) for January-March 2010 was EUR -0.1 (-0.3) million, an increase by 80.8%. The operating profit was mainly improved by sales price and volume increases. The currency exchange rates did not have a material effect on operating profit. In December 2009, new production lines came on-stream for water-borne paints in St. Petersburg. Tikkurila's water-borne products are now made on a single site in St. Petersburg instead of the former two. The production conditions improved clearly and the capacity of water-borne production increased. Production in the St. Petersburg area will be actively developed in the future as well. SBU Finland Strategic Business Unit Finland covers Tikkurila's business in Finland. SBU Finland is headed by Senior Vice President Arto Lehtinen. SBU Finland, key figures (EUR million) 1-3/2010 1-3/2009 Change, % 1-12/2009 Revenue 29.2 29.2 0.2% 106.8 Operating profit (EBIT) 4.8 3.1 53.7% 12.2 Operating profit (EBIT) margin 16.5% 10.8% 11.4% Capital expenditure excl. acquisitions 0.6 0.8 -29.7% 2.1 SBU Finland's revenue for January-March 2010 stayed at the same level as in Q1/2009 and totaled EUR 29.2 (29.2) million. Pre-order volumes for exterior paints developed favorably, but a more reliable forecast for the outcome of the final volumes will not be seen until after the summer season, i.e. only in the third quarter. In interior paints, volumes are slightly above the 2009 levels, but the demand for industrial coatings is weaker compared to the same period last year. SBU Finland's operating profit (EBIT) for January-March 2010 was EUR 4.8 (3.1) million, an increase by 53.7%. The total increase of EUR 1.7 million was mainly due to lower fixed cost levels compared to the previous year. SBU Scandinavia Sweden, Norway and Denmark belong to the Strategic Business Unit Scandinavia. SBU Scandinavia is headed by Senior Vice President Niklas Frisk. SBU Scandinavia, key figures (EUR million) 1-3/2010 1-3/2009 Change, % 1-12/2009 Revenue 39.9 36.3 10.0% 157.8 Operating profit (EBIT) 2.9 2.0 46.2% 15.7 Operating profit (EBIT) margin 7.4% 5.6% 10.0% Capital expenditure excl. acquisitions 0.4 0.5 -17.1% 2.1 SBU Scandinavia's revenue for January-March 2010 was EUR 39.9 (36.3) million, an increase by 10.0%. The increase was mainly due to the currency exchange effect which had a EUR 3.7 million positive impact on revenue. SBU Scandinavia's operating profit (EBIT) for January-March 2010 was EUR 2.9 (2.0), an increase by 46.2% compared to Q1/2009. The improvement was mainly due to the lower raw material prices compared to the same period last year. The currency exchange effect had a EUR 0.3 million positive impact. In Sweden, Tikkurila is actively seeking new solutions to develop the distribution chain. The extent and the profitability of the business have remained close to last year's level. SBU Central Eastern Europe The following countries belong to the SBU Central Eastern Europe: the Baltic countries, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, China, Germany, Hungary and Romania. Furthermore, SBU Central Eastern Europe is responsible for export sales in approximately 20 additional countries that are not included in the SBU operational areas. SBU Central Eastern Europe is headed by Senior Vice President Ilpo Jousimaa. SBU Central Eastern Europe, key figures (EUR million) 1-3/2010 1-3/2009 Change, % 1-12/2009 Revenue 21.9 20.1 8.8% 98.5 Operating profit (EBIT) 0.3 -0.3 194.2% 5.0 Operating profit (EBIT) margin 1.3% -1.6% 5.1% Capital expenditure excl. acquisitions 0.5 0.7 -34.9% 2.1 SBU Central Eastern Europe's revenue for January-March 2010 totaled EUR 21.9 (20.1) million, an increase by 8.8%. The increase was mainly due to the currency exchange rate changes which had a EUR 1.8 million positive impact on revenue. Sales volumes increased slightly but on the contrary sales prices decreased. The cold winter affected demand in January and February, but the weather conditions improved in March which increased sales. SBU Central Eastern Europe's operating profit (EBIT) for January-March 2010 was EUR 0.3 (-0.3) million, an increase by 194.2% compared to Q1/2009. The total EUR 0.6 million improvement was mainly due to the lower raw material prices compared to the same period last year. The currency exchange effect had a EUR 0.1 million positive impact. Financing and cash flow Tikkurila's financial standing and liquidity remained at a good level. Cash flow from operations totaled EUR -28.2 (-25.3) million in January-March. Net cash flow from investing activities totaled EUR -1.9 (-3.6) million, of which corporate acquisitions accounted for EUR 0.0 (-1.2) million. Free cash flow after investments was EUR -30.2 (-28.9) million. The effect on cash flow of investments related to improvement and maintenance was EUR -1.1 (-1.7) million. The net working capital totaled EUR 112.5 (117.1) million at the end of March. Due to the seasonality of the business, customers' pre-orders for the summer season affect the production for the first months of the year. Therefore, typically the level of working capital tied into the operations is high at the end of the first quarter. The group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 177.9 (238.3) million on March 31, 2010. The average interest rate of the interest-bearing debt was 4.8% (7.3%) at the end of the review period. The change in the average interest rate of the group was to major extent caused by the decline in the reference rates of the loans as the general market interest rate level changed. Cash and cash equivalents totaled EUR 19.2 (26.2) million on March 31. A total of EUR 38.7 million of the Tikkurila Group's short- and long-term loans will mature. The group had net debt of EUR 158.7 (212.1) million on March 31. The reduction in net debt was due mostly to a EUR 40.0 million increase in equity made by Kemira Oyj in December 2009. The increase was used for debt repayments by Tikkurila. During the first quarter of 2010, net debt increased by a EUR 29.1 million compared to the year end 2009 (31.12.2009: 129.5). This is due to the seasonality of business, which caused higher levels of working capital. The group's equity ratio was 34.5% (17.6%) on March 31. The gearing ratio was 101.0% (272.3%) at the end of March. Equity was significantly boosted by the EUR 40.0 million equity increase by Kemira Oyj in December 2009, which had a positive impact on balance sheet, equity ratio and gearing. The group's net financial expenses totaled EUR 1.6 (3.8) million, of which currency exchange accounted for EUR 0.2 (0.1) million. In connection with Tikkurila's listing, the group's financing was rearranged. In addition to the EUR 40.0 million TyEL (TyEL=Employees Pension Act in Finland) loan signed in December 2009 and drawn in January 2010, Tikkurila signed a loan arrangement of EUR 180.0 million in March 2010. The arrangement is divided into a EUR 100.0 million term loan and a EUR 80.0 million revolving credit facility. The term of maturity for the TyEL loan is six years of which the two first years are amortization-free, and the term of the maturity for the EUR 180.0 million loan arrangement is three years. The EUR 180.0 million loan arrangement includes an option to extend the loan period with two one-year periods. In connection with the listing, Tikkurila drew down a total of EUR 130.0 million via the loan arrangement. Tikkurila used the money to repay its loans from Kemira totaling EUR 148.1 million. Financial risk management Tikkurila's Board of Directors accepted the principles for financial risk management in March 2010, and the policy has been adopted after the company was listed on the stock exchange. The financing policy defines the risk positions and how much open risk the company can have. Tikkurila's principle is that derivatives are only used for hedging, and the market value of all derivatives must be reliably determinable in the treasury system the company is using. In accordance with the financing policy, currency risk can also be hedged with forward exchange agreements and options as well as foreign currency credit and deposits. At the end of the review period, the nominal value of Tikkurila's forward exchange agreements was EUR 54.3 million, and the market value was EUR 0.1 million. Tikkurila monitors the interest rate risk of loans based on duration. The loan portfolio's duration can be between 6 and 24 months. At the end of the period, the duration of the loan portfolio was approximately one year. Interest rate swaps and interest rate options can be used to manage the interest rate risk. In the end of March, Tikkurila had no interest rate derivatives in place. Capital expenditure Gross capital expenditure in the review period, excluding acquisitions, amounted to EUR 2.1 (4.2) million. There was no major single investment carried out during the review period. Expansion investments represented 47.3% of capital expenditure excluding acquisitions, while improvement and maintenance investments accounted for 52.7%. Depreciation amounted to EUR 5.0 (4.5) million in January-March. No impairments on non-current assets were recognized in the review period. Research and Development In January-March 2010, Tikkurila's research and product development expenses totaled EUR 2.5 (2.6) million, corresponding to 2.1% (2.3 %) of revenue. Kenneth Sundberg, Doctor of Technology, joined Tikkurila on January 1, 2010 in the position of Group Vice President, Research and Development. Human resources On March 31, the Tikkurila Group employed 3,695 (3,779) people. The average number of employees during January-March 2010 was 3,605 (3,772). The number of employees by SBU on March 31 were as follows: East 1,702 (1,657), Finland 781 (861), Scandinavia 465 (479) and Central Eastern Europe 747 (782). Short-term business risks and uncertainties Tikkurila's most significant short-term business risks and uncertainties are related to the economy in general and its effect on demand for Tikkurila products. In decorative paints, demand is significantly affected by weather conditions in the outdoor painting season. Due to the international nature of Tikkurila's operations, the group's income statement and balance sheet are subject to currency risk. The main currency risks are linked to the United States dollar, the Swedish krona, the Polish zloty and the Ukrainian hryvnia. The company's equity is also subject to currency risk when foreign currency equity items are translated into euro. The selling of paints to consumer customers is crucial for Tikkurila's operations. Therefore, changes in consumers' spending power and consumption behavior can considerably affect the demand of company products. This can be negatively affected by recent economic uncertainty and high unemployment rates in many of the company's operating areas. In addition, possible changes in the company's distribution channels, for instance due to changes in the competitive environment, can cause financial losses for the company. If the general economic situation and demand on the company's raw material and end product markets improve, it can increase the costs of the production or increase the costs of the company's debt financing through changes in market rates, and thus weaken profitability. Changes in oil market prices will be reflected in Tikkurila's cost structure via changes in raw material prices. The competitive situation can also change, in particular through changes in market entrants and market structures. Because developing central Eastern European countries play an important role in the company's operations, changes in the competitive situation on these markets or changes in the demand for different paint brands can weaken Tikkurila's position. Tikkurila's risk management principles can be found on the Tikkurila website at www.tikkurilagroup.com <http://www.tikkurilagroup.com/>. A review of financing risks is published in the notes to the 2009 financial statements. Materialized environmental and hazard risks are discussed in the notes to the 2009 financial statements. The Tikkurila Group has taken out comprehensive insurance against damages related to group companies' operational risks. Significant legal proceedings OOO Tikkurila is currently engaged in a dispute against a Russian company OOO Decolor in relation to "Finncolor" trademark. OOO Tikkurila's former managing director transferred the rights to the trademark "Finncolor" in Russia to a Russian limited liability company OOO Fincolor, who, in turn, transferred its rights to the trademark to OOO Decolor. Tikkurila has requested that the court shall declare the transfer of the trademark invalid. Decolor has in turn presented Tikkurila with a claim for unauthorized use of the Finncolor trademark. According to Tikkurila's management's view, the claim is unfounded. In 2007, the Polish competition authority initiated antimonopoly proceedings in Poland against Tikkurila Polska S.A. According to the Polish competition authority, certain distribution agreements of Tikkurila Polska contained an illegal clause, and hence Tikkurila was given a fine of about EUR 0.6 million. Tikkurila has filed an appeal against the decision. Furthermore, since early 2007, Tikkurila Polska has been involved in a case concerning regulation of retail prices in Poland. These matters are still pending, but it is estimated that the resolutions will be received during 2010. Significant related party transactions During the review period the company did not have any other significant related party transactions than the restructuring of finance carried out with the previous parent company Kemira Oyj. Those transactions have been described above. Shares and shareholders Trading of Tikkurila Oyj's shares began on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd on March 26, 2010, and Tikkurila was demerged from Kemira Oyj. On March 16, 2010, Kemira Oyj's general meeting decided that for every four Kemira shares, their holder was entitled to receive one share of Tikkurila Oyj as a dividend. In total, Kemira distributed 37,933,097 Tikkurila shares as dividend to its shareholders which corresponds to 86% of Tikkurila's shares and votes. Kemira maintained a 14.00% minority share in Tikkurila. The taxation value and purchase price of Tikkurila Oyj shares distributed as dividend is the volume-weighted average of the prices paid for Tikkurila's share during the first trading day, March 26, 2010, which was EUR 15.80. At the end of March, Tikkurila's share capital was EUR 35.0 million, from a total of 44,108,252 registered shares. At the end of March 2010, Tikkurila held no treasury shares.

The AGM decided that the company will become a public limited company, and thus the company name was changed to Tikkurila Oyj. The AGM decided that all company shares are included in the book-entry system. The AGM decided that the articles of association shall be revised. The articles of association can be viewed at the company headquarters and on the company's website at www.tikkurilagroup.com <http://www.tikkurilagroup.com/>. The AGM decided to issue 43,083,252 new shares to Kemira in a directed share issue without payment. Decisions by the Extraordinary General Meeting Tikkurila Oyj's Extraordinary General Meeting was held on March 4, 2010. The EGM authorized the Board to decide on the repurchase of a maximum of 4,410,825 treasury shares ("Repurchase authorization"). The repurchase authorization is valid until April 30, 2011. Shares will be repurchased by using unrestricted equity, either through a direct offer with equal terms to all shareholders at a price determined by the Board of Directors, or otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of the company's shareholders in public trading on the Helsinki Stock Exchange at the market price quoted at the time of the repurchase. Shares will be acquired and paid for in accordance with the Rules of the Helsinki Stock Exchange and Euroclear Finland Ltd. The price paid for the shares repurchased through a tender offer under the authorization shall be based on the market price of the company's shares in public trading. The minimum price to be paid would be the lowest market price of the share quoted in public trading during the authorization period, and the maximum price would be the highest market price quoted during the authorization period. Shares may be repurchased to be used in implementing or financing mergers and acquisitions, developing the company's capital structure, improving the liquidity of the company's shares or to be used for the payment of the annual fee payable to the members of the Board of Directors or implementing the Company's share-based incentive plans. In order to realize the aforementioned purposes, the shares acquired may be retained, transferred further or cancelled by the company. The EGM authorized the Board to decide on the transfer of a maximum of 4,410,825 treasury shares ("Share issue authorization"). The share issue authorization is valid until April 30, 2011. The company's own shares held by the company may be transferred either for consideration or without consideration. The company's own shares held by the company may be transferred to the company's shareholders by not applying the shareholders' pre-emption right, through a directed share issue, if the company has a weighty financial reason to do so, such as financing or implementing mergers and acquisitions, developing the capital structure of the company, improving the liquidity of the company's shares or if this is justified for the payment of the annual fee payable to the members of the Board of Directors or implementing the company's share-based incentive plans. The directed share issue may be carried out without consideration only in connection with the payment of the annual fee payable to the members of the Board of Directors or implementation of the company's share-based incentive plan. The amount payable upon the transfer of treasury shares shall be recognized under unrestricted equity. The EGM decided to clarify the AGM's decision regarding the Board remuneration so that payment of monthly fees, in accordance with the company's earlier practice, will continue to be paid in cash in previously agreed amounts until the end of the month in which the company is listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. The monthly fees are: Chairman EUR 4,500 per month, Deputy Chairman EUR 3,000 per month and other members EUR 2,500 per month. Board Committees In February, the Board of Directors appointed the members of the Audit Committee from amongst themselves. The Audit Committee consists of Eeva Ahdekivi, Jari Paasikivi and Pia Rudengren. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Eeva Ahdekivi. Dividend policy In February, the Board of Directors decided on the company's dividend policy. Tikkurila aims to distribute a dividend of at least 40 percent of its annual operative net income. Operative net income means net profit for the period excluding non-recurring items and adjusted for tax effects. Financial targets In February 2010, the Board of Directors set the following medium-term financial targets: * An annual organic revenue growth of over 5% * Operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items level of over 10% of Tikkurila's revenue * A continuous improvement of return on capital employed ROCE (% p.a.) * Gearing under 100% Changes in corporate structure and management appointments No corporate acquisitions or divestments or major changes in corporate structure were completed during January-March 2010. Kenneth Sundberg, Doctor of Technology, joined Tikkurila on January 1, 2010 in the position of Group Vice President, Research and Development, and a member of the management board. M.Sc. (Finance) Jukka Havia joined Tikkurila Oyj on April 16, 2010 as the Chief Financial Officer, and he will be a member of the management board. Outlook Historically, the first quarter of the year has been of little importance for Tikkurila's business as a significant part of revenue and operating profit is accrued during the second and the third quarter. In the Nordic countries, Tikkurila uses an advance order system of exterior paints for the summer season. Orders received through the system do not show any significant change as compared to the corresponding date in 2009. In addition, no significant changes in Tikkurila's production, sales, inventories, costs or sales process have occurred between the end of the previous financial year and the date of publishing this interim report. Despite the good start on the year, the market situation in Tikkurila's operating areas is still challenging. General economic development and the pick-up in construction and renovation markets in particular are not yet highly visible in paint sales volumes. The employment situation has remained weak. Demand for industrial paints has been at the levels of the previous year. The importance of the first quarter is low for Tikkurila's operations, because a majority of revenue and earnings are generated during the second and third quarter. The approaching summer season and outdoor painting season have strong impact on the full-year result. In 2010, Tikkurila's revenue and operating profit (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items are expected to remain at the same level as in 2009. The revenue and operating profit estimates do not take into consideration possible effects from exchange rate fluctuations. The current outlook and profit forecast described above are based on the following key assumptions regarding the company which the management of Tikkurila considers well-founded. In relation to the industrial customers of Tikkurila Group, no significant increase in demand is seen in the near future. Weather conditions during the outdoor painting season contribute to the demand for Tikkurila's paints, and hence do have a major impact on company's profitability. Currently, based on the general recovery of many commodities and raw material markets, there are pressures for the suppliers to increase certain raw material prices. The above mentioned factors are outside the control of the management of Tikkurila but it can take them into account by, for example, developing actively its product and service offering, ensuring good distribution reliability, preparing for changes in demand in its production, aiming to hedge risks and continuing to increase the efficiency of its operations. Events after the Reporting Period On April 28, 2010 the Board of Directors decided to acquire own shares and to grant those shares in order to effect the payment of Board members' fees. This resolution was based on the authorization granted by the general meeting of the shareholders. In April, Grafia, the Association of Professional Graphic Designers in Finland, gave out a Silver Award (Hopeahuippu) in service design for Tikkurila's retail concept Vision. The Best of the Year competition is the most important marketing communication and design competition in Finland. Tikkurila introduced its Vision shop-in-shop store concept in autumn 2009 in conjunction with the launch of the Avatint tinting system, various new products and Feel the Colour collection.

the following standards, interpretations and their amendments as of January 1, 2010: * Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The amendments made to the standard are substantial. * Amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The amendments affect the accounting treatment of acquisitions and sales achieved in stages. * Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009). * IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009). * IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers (effective on financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009). Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009, effective mainly on financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2010). * Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions (effective on financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2010). The group's view is that the adoption of the standards and interpretations above did not have any significant effect on the financial statements of the reporting period. The adoption of the amendments would cause changes to Tikkurila Group financial statements 2010 if new subsidiaries would be acquired (IFRS 3) or if share-based payments would be taken into use (IFRS 2). OPERATING SEGMENTS Tikkurila's business activities are organized in four reportable segments as per its strategy to be a long-standing operator in Europe and its neighbouring areas. The differences in these operating environments and overall management of each area have been taken into account while establishing these reporting segments. Segments' revenue arises from the sales of various paints and related products that are sold to retailers, industrial customers and for professional use. Insignificant revenue is also received from the sales of auxiliary services related to paints. Tikkurila common section includes the items related to the group headquarters. The evaluation of profitability and decision making concerning resource allocation are based on segmental operating profit. Reportable segment assets are items of the statement of financial position that the segment employs in its business activities or which can reasonably be allocated to a segment. Segments' revenue is presented based on the location of the customers, whereas reportable segment assets are presented according to the location of the assets. Inter-segment pricing is based on market prices. External revenue accumulates from a large number of customers.
