DEVELOPMENT OF NET SALES AND PROFIT                                             

Honkarakenne's consolidated net sales of 2008 were EUR 78.4 million, compared to
EUR 93.4 million in the same period last year. The net sales decreased by EUR   
15.0 million and remained 16.1% below last year's figures. The domestic net     
sales decreased by EUR 7.3 million (-19.1%), and the international trade        
decreased by EUR 7.7 million (-14.1%).                                          

The operating profit was EUR -0.1 million (EUR 3.1 million), and profit before  
taxes stood at EUR -1.5 million (EUR 2.7 million). The reasons for weak result  
were a significant decrease in net sales in the second half of the year,        
unrealized losses from forward exchange agreements, the one-off costs of project
installation operations, and the low utilization rate of the production lines   
since last summer. In addition, the proportional profitability of exports to    
Germany and France was significantly lower than last year.                      

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS                                                       

The Group's financial position has weakened during the period under review. The 
equity ratio has remained satisfactory, and stood at 33.0% (40.1%). The         
interest-bearing net liabilities increased to EUR 19.5 million (EUR 13.4        
million). The financial position was weakened because of the investments,       
changes in customers' payment behavior due to the financial crisis and weakening
of advanced sales during the fall. The Group's liquid assets amounted to EUR 1.6
million (EUR 1.9 million). Gearing stood at 121.6% (72.0%).                     

Capital expenditure totaled EUR 5.1 million (EUR 3.7 million). The most         
significant investments were a new Hundegger machine tool line in the Karstula  
board production, renewal of the heating central in Alajärvi factory and a new  
office building for designers in Alajärvi. In addition, Honkarakenne bought a   
minority stake in Karjalan Lisenssisaha Invest Oy, which saws lumber in Russia. 

MARKET DEVELOPMENT                                                              

The number of new single-family home construction projects and construction     
permits has decreased during the second half of the year. The demand for holiday
house construction, which remained strong in the first half of the year, took a 
downward turn in the second half of the year. At the end of the year the Finnish
log industry's order book decreased by 28%, compared to the previous year. The  
domestic market for holiday house construction was reduced by nearly 12% and the
volume for single-family house construction decreased by approximately 17% last 
year.                                                                           

The insecurity which has characterized the Western European and Japanese markets
throughout the year turned into a significant decrease in demand when the       
financial situation worsened. The number of construction permits and start-ups  
of new projects has decreased heavily from the previous year.                   

Demand in Eastern Europe, Russia and its neighboring regions remained good for  
the first two quarters. In the second half of the year, the deepening of the    
financial crisis has caused insecurity in the making of purchase decisions in   
the Russian market. Trading in the Eastern European market has increased        
steadily throughout the last year.                                              

The Group's advance sales for the last quarter decreased clearly below previous 
year's figures.

The Group's order book was EUR 23.7 million at the end of December. The         
corresponding figure from last year was EUR 35.1 million.                       

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING                                                          

Honkarakenne has been very prominently displayed during its 50th anniversary in 
various fairs in different market areas. For example, in Finland, Honka took    
part in the Vacation Housing Fair held in Pori and in the Housing Fair held in  
Vaasa. In Pori, Honka's holiday house - the Honka Frigate - was chosen by the   
public as the best holiday house made of timber. The St. Petersburg Housing Fair
was held in September-October, and it was the first-ever Finnish wooden house   
manufacturers' joint event in Russia.                                           

At the end October, Honka organized the Honka Summit for their international    
distribution and cooperation network. In this event, Honka presented to the     
network and press its new range of wall structures - the Honka Fusion, which is 
based on the new innovation of non-bending laminated log. The Honka Fusion      
products allow the designers to come up with new types of high-quality solid    
timber buildings also for the low-energy house category.                        

In September, the company launched its new Lomakirja holiday house line in the  
domestic market. The German and Finnish heat insulation regulations will become 
stricter in 2009-2010. Honkarakenne will have the capabilities for manufacturing
products and structures that exceed the new regulations.                        

STAFF                                                                           

The group had 378 employees at the end of year. This is 23 less than last year. 

As a result of the statutory cooperation negotiations held in fall and early    
winter, the number of officials is reduced by 32 in all company units, compared 
to the situation at the beginning of 2008. As a whole the reductions will be    
seen at the beginning of 2010.                                    

OWNERSHIP CHANGES IN SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES                      

The company's subsidiary, Finwood Oy, organized a directed issue in February.   
The parent company's ownership decreased to 68.2% after the issue.              

On 9 June 2008 Honkarakenne Oyj bought a 37.5% stake in Karjalan Lisenssisaha   
Invest Oy. Its three Karlis companies, operating in Russia, were established in 
1993, and have been Finnish-owned since 2006. Since then the companies' logging 
rights have been expanded, the sawmill's capacity improved, and its plant and   
equipment modernized. The companies' turnover is EUR 8 million, and they employ 
45 people in the Republic of Karelia.                                           

40,000 company shares were used as part of the share capital price, in addition 
to which Honkarakenne Oyj guaranteed the loan, taken out to develop the         
companies.                                                                      

Pine and spruce growing in Russian Karelia are of good quality and suitable for 
construction. The production plant of Karlis companies is situated close to the 
border, in Wärtsilä on the Russian side of the border. Its logging rights are   
approximately 60,000 cubic meters a year. In addition, it purchases saw-timber  
trees from Finnish forest companies and local companies. The plant's sawing     
capacity in one shift is 50,000 cubic meters a year. The semi-finished products 
will be upgraded in Honkarakenne's Finnish log house factories.                 

Honkarakenne Oyj sold its stake (40.0%) in JJ-Suunnittelu Oy to the company's   
operative management in a deal signed on 30 September 2008.                     

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2008, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND          
ACCOUNTANTS                                                                     

Honkarakenne Oyj's annual general meeting was held on Friday 4 April 2008. 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 2007. The general meeting decided to pay a EUR 0.30 dividend per each of
3,572,000 shares outstanding. The dividend payment was EUR 1,071,00.00. The     
remaining earnings of EUR 2,671,572.74 were left in the Group's own capital.    

The elected board members include Mauri Saarelainen, Eero Saarelainen, Tomi     
Laamanen and Mauri Niemi (old members) and Pirjo Ruuska as a new member. Pirjo  
Ruuska, construction engineer, is the managing director of Epira Oy. She was    
born in Pielisjärvi in 1956, and owns 1,530 Honkarakenne A shares and 76,216    
company's B shares.                                                             

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

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

Honkarakenne Oyj repurchased 90,600 shares during the period under review, for  
an average price of EUR 4.06 per share. At the end of the review period the     
company held 208,700 of its B shares with a total nominal value of EUR          
417,400.00 and a total purchase price of EUR 1,123,678.07. These shares         
represent 5.38% of the company's capital stock and 2.21% 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 3 April 2009, 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 3 April    
2009, to dispose of 374,896 B shares. Company used 40,000 shares of this        
authority, when purchasing Karjalan Lisenssisaha Invest Oy.                     

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.                        

FUTURE OUTLOOK                                                                  

The deepening global financial crisis and the resulting real economy recession  
will affect the construction related demand in all markets. The general lack of 
demand in the domestic and Western European markets will most likely continue   
all year. Independent construction, which has been known to increase when the   
market situation worsens, will probably even out the decrease in construction of
holiday houses in Finland. The weakened situation is believed to have           
significantly shorter-term effects in the Russian market. In Eastern Europe, the
market situation will remain moderate, although the financial crisis will make  
it more difficult to begin construction projects in the short run.              

The weak Yen, which has affected the Japanese export markets up to the end of   
the third quarter, has changed in the beginning of the fourth quarter to a      
rapidly weakening Euro. Nevertheless, the subdued overall situation, which has  
characterized the Japanese market for years, and the prevailing economic        
situation are likely to slow down the process of turning price benefits into    
increased sales in the near future.                                             

The weak development of advanced sales since last summer is seen especially in  
the development of net sales during the first and second quarters, in addition  
to the normal seasonal changes. Besides, the more severe winter in Western      
Europe has postponed the start-up of construction work until spring.            

The annual net sales are estimated to be below last year's figures. The company 
operations will be adapted to the lower level of net sales.                     

The biggest risk for the result development is related to the uncertainty of the
global economy and thus to the development of total demand.                     

DIVIDENDS                                                                       

The parent company's own available capital on 31 December 2008 is EUR 4.0       
million, of which the loss for the fiscal year is EUR 1.1 million. The board of 
directors will suggest to the general meeting that no dividends are paid from   
the earnings held by the company.                                               

EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW                                            

Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company advanced a EUR 5.0 million loan in       
January to secure the working capital.

Board of Directors
