Accounting policies                                                             

This financial statements release has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,  
applying the same policies as were applied for the 2008 financial statements. 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. The annual figures presented in this financial statements release   
have been audited.                                                              


Market                                                                          

The demand for office furniture decreased significantly on 2008. New office     
construction in 2009 was slower than in the previous year and fewer building    
permits were granted.                                                           


Group structure                                                                 

There were no changes in Group structure during the review period or during the 
same period the previous year.                                                  


Segment reporting                                                               

The segments presented in the financial statements 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 organisationalstructure 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 in the internal financial reporting.  
Revenue and operating profit are as recorded in the consolidated financial      
statements.

Business Unit Sweden and Norway's sales are handled through about 70 dealers in 
Sweden and Norway. 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.

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 centre and administration.

Revenue for January-December was EUR 95.3 million (141.2), a decrease of 32.5   
per cent.  Business Unit Sweden and Norway's revenue was down by 5.3 per cent,

Consolidated result                                                             

The consolidated result for the fourth quarter was EUR 0.4 million (3.8). The

material effect on the consolidated result. The result for 2008 includes EUR 0.7

In March 2009, Martela concluded codetermination negotiations with personnel in 
the parent company, Martela Corporation. The outcome of the negotiations was    
that 15 people were made redundant, and temporary layoffs affecting the entire  
workforce were implemented, estimated to correspond to a work input of 30 person
work years.                                                                     

In November 2009, Martela also concluded the codetermination talks that were    
launched earlier in the autumn at the parent company, Martela Corporation.      

As a result of the talks, 3 people were made redundant and 9 people from the    
office worker and factory worker personnel groups were temporarily laid off.    

Moreover, temporary layoffs affecting the entire workforce will be implemented  
in 2010. They are estimated to correspond to the work input of 18 person work   
years.                                                                          

Product development and Martela's collection                                    
                                                                                
Product development and the management of Martela's collection are the          
responsibility of two Group-level organisations. Brand & Product Portfolio is   
responsible for collection and brand management, while Product Development and  
Marketing is responsible for                                                    
the development of innovative products and the Group's marketing communications.
                                                                                
At the Stockholm Furniture Fair in February, Martela's theme was ‘The Light of  
Snow'. Martela exhibited a number of new products at its 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. The Pinta ES, a pure and simple design, 
is the newest addition to the range of electrically adjustable desks.           

New products were also introduced to 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.                                     

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 floor lamp, another Eero     
Aarnio design. Another new product introduced at Milan was Diagonal, the        
brainchild of Stockholm-based design office o4i; it is an innovative piece of   
furniture for public indoor spaces, providing flexible seating for groups of    
people or for private conversations.

On 5 March 2009, ODIN Forvaltning AS announced that the holdings of the funds it

Treasury shares                                                                 

Martela did not purchase any of its own shares for the treasury in 2009. On 31  
December 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 entered under equity in the consolidated  
financial statements for 2008 and 2009. On 31 December 2009, 57,625 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 2009 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                                                       

Martela's Board of Directors decided on 9 February, 2010 on a share-based       
incentive scheme for key personnel for 2010-2012. The key personnel will be     
eligible to receive Martela's A shares if the targets set for specified earnings
periods are achieved. These periods are the calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012. 
Any incentives paid on the basis of the above scheme will be paid in both shares
and cash at the end of each earnings period. The maximum incentive for the whole
scheme is 80,000 Martela Oyj A shares and the amount of cash needed to cover    
taxes and similar charges, which amounts to approximately the value of the      
shares  to be paid. The achievement of the targets set for an earnings period   
determines the percentage of the maximum bonus to be paid to a key person.      


Short-term risks                                                                

The greatest risk to profit performance is related to the continuation of       
general economic uncertainty and the consequent effects on the overall demand   
for office furniture.                                                           

Proposal of the Board of Directors for distribution of profit                   

The Board proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share be distributed for     
2009. The company's liquidity is good and it is the Board's opinion that the    
proposed distribution of profit will not endanger the company's solvency. The   
notice of Annual General Meeting will be published in a separate stock exchange 
release.                                                                        


Outlook for 2010                                     

Low demand will continue to have an effect on the company's revenue and         
operating profit in 2010. The company will continue to review its cost structure
and to improve its operating efficiency.
