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

Tiimari Plc         Stock Exchange Release 14, August 2009 at 11.00             


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

Tiimari Group's preliminary net sales in July 2009 were MEUR 5.5, down 5% from  
the same period last year. Sales in Tiimari business segment were 7% below July 
2009 levels, while Gallerix business segment sales increased by 7% compared to  
last year. Tiimari had a significant discounted sales period in July. The demand
in the Baltic region lessened during the summer and the development of the      
currency exchange rates made the effects on the sales in euro still bigger. The 
demand for Tiimore's business gift merchandise was nonexistent during the summer
holiday period.                                                                 

The seven-month cumulative sales of the Tiimari Group were EUR 37.1 million,    
down EUR 2.6 million or approximately 6% from the corresponding period last     
year. The weakness of the Swedish krona is having an effect particularly on     
Gallerix sales, as measured in euros. The sales for Sweden also include the     
sales from the shops acquired at the end of last year by Tiimari Sweden. The    
number of sales days during the first half of the year was three less compared  
to last year.
