Tiimari Plc         Stock Exchange Release 12, May 2009 at 9.30                 


TIIMARI GROUP'S NET SALES IN APRIL 2009 (preliminary)                           

Tiimari Group's preliminary net sales in April 2009 was MEUR 6.2, 6% more than  
during the comparison period. A part of the Easter sales realized during April  
this year and it improved the sales numbers. April accumulated sales totaled    
MEUR 22,0, which was 8% less than the accumulated sales last year. The          
accumulated decrease compared to last year was thus significantly reduced during
April. Currency exchange rate development has a negative impact on sales numbers
especially regarding Gallerix and the Swedish market.
