As from 1 January 2009, Martela Group has applied the following new and amended standards: IFRS 8, Operating Segments and IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. In other respects, the accounting policies are the same as those applied in the 2008 financial statements. Market The demand for office furniture decreased in comparison with the figure for the same quarter in 2008. New office construction in 2008 was slower than in the previous year and fewer building permits were granted, too. Group structure There were no changes in Group structure during the review period or the comparison period. Segment reporting The segments presented in the interim report comply with the company's new segment division. The comparison year's 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 presented are their operating profits, because tax items and financial items are not allocated by segment. The Group's assets and liabilities are not allocated or monitored by segment for the purposes of internal financial reporting. Net revenue and operating profit are as recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Business Unit Finland is responsible for sales and marketing, service production and manufacturing in Finland. There are 24 service locations in Finland, 9 of which are Martela's and the rest are entrepreneur-run Martela centres. The Business Unit's logistics centre is located in Nummela. Business Unit Sweden and Norway is responsible for sales in Sweden and Norway, handled through about 70 dealers. In addition, the Business Unit has its own sales and showroom facilities at three locations: Stockholm and Bodafors in Sweden and Oslo in Norway. The Business Unit's logistics centre and order handling are also located in Bodafors. Business Unit Poland is responsible for the sales and distribution of Martela products in Poland and eastern Central Europe. Sales in Poland are organized via the sales network maintained by the Business Unit. The company has altogether 7 sales centres in Poland. The Business Unit's principal export countries are 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 it has its logistics and administration. Net revenue Net revenue for January-March was EUR 24.0 million (36.1), a decrease of 33.4 per cent. The drop in net revenue was partly due to the exceptionally large projects carried out in Finland during the previous year's comparison period. Exchange rate fluctuations also contributed to the change in consolidated net revenue. The effect of exchange rate movements was approximately 3 percentage units.

The operating profit decreased from the previous year mainly due to the fall in revenue. The 2008 first-quarter figure includes EUR 0.6 million in non-recurring income from the sale of assets. Profit before taxes was EUR -0.2 million (3.2), and profit after taxes was EUR -0.2 million (2.4). The operating profit excluding non-recurring items was -0.3 per cent of net revenue (7.7).

At the end of the quarter, the gearing ratio was -27.9 per cent (7.7) and the equity-to-assets ratio was 54.7 per cent (47.2). Net financial expenses were EUR -0.1 million (-0.2). Cash flow from operating activities in January-March was EUR 7.7 million (2.7). The balance sheet total at the end of the first quarter was EUR 56.9 million (63.5).

At the Stockholm Furniture Fair in February, Martela's theme was ‘The Light of Snow'. We exhibited a number of new products at our snow-white stand. The Spot series by Pekka Toivola and Iiro Viljanen was complemented with easily movable screens, side tables and workstation desks. The Big cabinet by Pekka Toivola also serves as a space divider. Pinta ES, a pure and simple design, is the newest addition to the range of electrically adjustable desks. New products were also introduced in the surroundings furniture ranges: the Form conference chair by Jukka Setälä, and the SoftX lobby furniture series by Julia Läufer and Marcus Keichel. As a concept product we exhibited the Tree W space divider, designed by Professor Eero Aarnio and featuring LED illumination. At the Milan Furniture Fair in April, Martela set up its own exhibition under the theme ‘Black Swan'. The name came from the Swan XL lamp, another Eero Aarnio design. Another new product introduced at Milan was the Diagonal, an innovative piece of furniture for public spaces providing flexible seating for groups of people or private conversations alike. Diagonal is the brainchild of o4i, a Stockholm-based design office. Shares During January-March, 229,046 (137,640) of the company's A shares were traded on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd exchange, corresponding to 6.5 per cent (3.9) of all A shares. The value of trading was EUR 1.4 million (1.1), and the share price was EUR 5.29 at the beginning and EUR 5.73 at the end of the first quarter. During the quarter the share price was EUR 6.82 at its highest and EUR 5.21 at its lowest. At the end of March, equity per share was EUR 7.79 (7.33). On 5 March 2009, ODIN Forvaltning AS announced that the holdings of funds managed by ODIN in Martela Corporation fell to 2.85 per cent following a share transaction made on 5 March 2009. Treasury shares The company did not purchase any of its own shares in January-March. On 31 March 2009, Martela owned a total of 67,700 of Martela A shares, purchased at an average price of EUR 10.65. Martela's holding of treasury shares amounts to 1.6 per cent of all shares and 0.4 per cent of all votes. Acquisition of shares for the share-based incentive scheme and the management of the scheme have been outsourced to an external service provider, Evli Alexander Management Oy. These shares have been treated in the consolidated financial statements for 2008 and 2009 under equity. On 31 December 2008, 104,282 shares under the incentive scheme were still undistributed. 2009 Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting was held on 17 March 2009. The meeting approved the financial statements and discharged the responsible parties from liability for the 2008 financial year. The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share, totalling EUR 2,452,740. Heikki Ala-Ilkka, Tapio Hakakari, Heikki Martela, Pekka Martela, Jori Keckman and Jaakko Palsanen were elected as members of the Board of Directors for the next term. 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 new Board of Directors convened after the Annual General Meeting and elected Heikki Ala-Ilkka as Chairman and Pekka Martela as Vice Chairman. Post-balance sheet events No significant events requiring reporting have taken place since the first quarter, and operations have continued according to plan. Short-term risks The greatest risk to profit performance is related to the continuation of the general economic uncertainty and the consequent effects on the overall demand for office furniture. Outlook for 2009 General economic uncertainty will affect the company's performance in 2009. Revenue will decrease from the previous year, and operating profit will also be lower than in 2008. During the year, the company will examine its cost structure for improvements and increase the efficiency of its operations.
