TIIMARI OUTLOOK FOR 2011

Due to the weaker than expected third-quarter profit development Tiimari adjust
the full-year forecast of EBITDA provided in the Interim Report for the second
quarter of 2011. 

We estimate that during 2011, the declining trend in Tiimari's revenue,
reported on a monthly basis, will cease and that Tiimari's full-year EBITDA for
2011 will be negative (2010:EUR -1.3 million) and significantly lower than last
year .The revenue of Gallerix is forecast to grow and its EBITDA is anticipated
to be positive and better than in 2010 (2010:EUR 0.1 million). 

We estimate earlier that during 2011, the declining trend in Tiimari's revenue,
reported on a monthly basis, will cease and that Tiimari's full-year EBITDA for
2011 will be negative (2010:EUR -1.3 million) and lower than last year. The
revenue of Gallerix is forecast to grow and its EBITDA is anticipated to be
positive and better than in 2010 (2010: EUR 0.1 million). 

COMMENTS FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

The Group's extensive financial restructuring process was completed during the
third quarter. As a result of the restructuring, the company's equity ratio
improved considerably, annual financial expenses will decrease and new capital
was raised for the improvement of the company's business. However, it will take
a few months to recover from the challenging financial situation of the first
part of the year, after which the company's operating models are expected to
return to normal. 

In the third quarter, the company started to gradually implement its new
strategy. Starting in July, purchases from the Far East were increased, four
new stores were opened in Finland and the Tiimari chain's marketing concepts in
particular were updated. Many development projects targeted at 2012 were
launched, relating to product group management, product ranges and a new store
concept. In accordance with its new strategy, Gallerix continued taking over
franchise shops. 

The Tiimari segment's declining trend in sales is ceasing. In the latter part
of the third quarter in August and September, sales developed positively with
the exception of the Juhla (“Party”) range, which was launched on a large scale
last year and is now being refocused. The number of customers at Finnish
Tiimari shops has generally continued to increase since August. Problems with
the availability and sufficiency of products and the clearance sale of
discontinued items have still had a negative impact on total sales and gross
profit. The clearance sale will continue till the end of 2011. 

The Gallerix chain's sales trend continued to be positive in the third quarter.
In particular, this was due to the increased number of shops operated directly
by Gallerix. 

The current fourth quarter is critical for the company's full-year performance.
The holiday seasons of the fourth quarter (Halloween and Christmas) usually
account for about 40 % of the company's annual revenue. 

GROUP REVENUE AND PROFIT DEVELOPMENT

When assessing Tiimari group's revenue and profit development in the review
period, it must be kept in mind that they are strongly influenced by seasonal
changes. Because of this, Tiimari's result for the first three quarters has
traditionally been non-profitable and the result for the fourth quarter
significantly profitable in comparison. 

Group revenue for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011 fell by 2.3
% to EUR 44.8 million (45.9). In the third quarter, revenue increased by 2.5%
to EUR 15.8 million (15.4). The Group's declining trend in revenue is showing
signs of improvement. In the last two quarters, revenue has increased by 5.6%
year-on-year. 

In the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011, the gross margin fell to
EUR 23.8 million (26.1), equalling 53.1% (58.9%). The gross margin for the
third quarter was 52.2% (52.8%). Problems with the availability and sufficiency
of products and the clearance sale of discontinued items have had a negative
impact on gross profit. The clearance sale will continue till the end of 2011. 

EBITDA for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011 fell to EUR -11.9
million (-6.9). The Group's EBITDA for the third quarter was EUR -4.1 million
(-2.8). Tiimari Group's most important cost items are personnel and rental
costs. They have accounted for about 80 % of the Group's fixed costs. The
Group's fixed costs in the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011
increased by 8 % and personnel costs by 10 % year-on-year. For Gallerix,
personnel costs for the first nine months of 2011 increased by 42 %, due to the
increased number of shops operated directly by Gallerix. The Tiimari segment's
costs increased by 4.7%. 

The operating profit for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011
decreased to EUR -13.6 million (-9.4).The Group's third quarter operating
profit declined to EUR -4.6 million (-3.6). 

Net financial expenses during the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011
were EUR -6.7 million (-1.6). In the third quarter, net financial expenses
amounted to EUR -5.7 million (-0.6). They included a non-recurring cost of EUR
4.9 million resulting from the share issues, recognised in other financial
expenses in accordance with IAS 32 and 39 and IFRIC 19. This cost had no impact
on cash flow and the Group's shareholders' equity. However, the cost influenced
the result before taxes, the profit for the period and the performance-based
key figures. Net income for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011
was EUR -20.3 million (-10.7), and earnings per share were EUR -1.13 (-0.65).
Earnings per share for the third quarter were EUR -0.50 (-0.24). 

Tiimari group's result for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011
included about EUR 1.6 million of non-recurring costs (2.95). Of the
non-recurring costs, EUR 1.4 million had an effect on the company's EBITDA and
EUR 0.2 million on depreciation. In addition, as a result of the share issues,
EUR 4.9 million of non-recurring costs recognised in accordance with IAS 32 and
39 and IFRIC 19 had an effect on the company's financial expenses. 

Tiimari group's result for the third quarter included a total of EUR 0.5
million in non-recurring costs (2.95). Of the non-recurring costs, EUR 0.3
million were related to an equalisation premium, EUR 0.1 million to costs
resulting from personnel changes in the company management and EUR 0.1 million
to transfers of the business operations of Gallerix franchise shops. In
addition, as a result of the share issues, EUR 4.9 million of non-recurring
costs recognised in accordance with IAS 32 and 39 and IFRIC 19 had an effect on
the company's financial expenses. 

REVENUE AND PROFIT DEVELOPMENT BY OPERATING SEGMENT

The Tiimari Group comprises two leading retail shop concepts, Tiimari and
Gallerix. They are reported as separate segments. In addition, the Others
segment includes common expenses for the Group (i.a. senior management). 

TIIMARI

The Tiimari segment comprises all the Tiimari concept shops in Finland and the
Baltic countries. The segment revenue for the review period 1 January to 30
September 2011 declined by 7.3 % to EUR 34.1 million (36.8). The Tiimari
segment's gross margin for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011 was
EUR 19.0 million (EUR 22.4 million), representing 55.6% (60.9%) of revenue. In
early 2011 the gross margin percentage was lower than during the comparison
period because of changes in the distribution of sales, higher realised
purchase prices and, simultaneously, lower sales prices partly due to clearance
sales. The Tiimari segment's revenue for the third quarter was EUR 12.2 million
and gross margin for the third quarter was EUR 6.7 million (7.0), representing
55.1 % (56.0%) of revenue. 

The Tiimari segment's EBITDA for the review period 1 January to 30 September
2011 decreased to EUR -10.5 million (-5.6). In the third quarter, the Tiimari
segment's EBITDA was EUR -3.2 million (-2.3). The operating profit for this
segment in the review period decreased to EUR -11.6 million (-7.2). EBITDA and
the operating profit was undermined by a decrease in sales in comparison with
the corresponding period last year as well as by a simultaneous decline in
margins. 

On 30 September 2011, the number of stores operated by the company was 191
(185), of which 172 (166) were in Finland. 

GALLERIX

The Gallerix segment comprises the Gallerix concept shops in Sweden. In
accordance with Gallerix's strategy, the company has continued to increase the
number of shops operated directly by Gallerix. The goal is to increase
shop-specific sales, harmonise the product ranges in the shops and increase the
proportion of centralised purchasing and in this way to improve the
profitability of the entire chain. A strategic goal is to increase the number
of retail shops operated directly by Gallerix. On 30 September 2011, Gallerix
operated a total of 35 shops (11 shops on 30 September 2010,14 shops on 31
December 2010) and franchise entrepreneurs operated 48 shops. 

Following the transition, revenue and gross profits of the Gallerix segment
have developed favourably. However, at the same time personnel and rental
expenses and the inventory level have increased. 

Gallerix's revenue for the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011 rose by
18.4 % to EUR 10.7 million (9.1). In Gallerix retail shops, comparable sales
development in local currency was 1.9 % for the first nine months of the year.
Gallerix's revenue for the third quarter was EUR 3.6 million (2.9). 

The Gallerix segment's gross margin improved during the review period 1 January
to 30 September 2011 to EUR 4.8 million (3.6), representing 44.9% (39.9%) of
revenue. The improvement in gross margin resulted mainly from the increased
number of shops operated directly by Gallerix and the decrease in the number of
franchise shops. The Gallerix segment's gross margin for the third quarter was
EUR 1.5 million (1.1), representing 42.4 % (37.5 %) of revenue. 

The Gallerix segment's EBITDA for the review period 1 January to 30 September
2011 was EUR -0.7 million (-0.3). The decrease was a result of costs related to
the acquisition and taking over of franchise shops. The Gallerix segment's
EBITDA for the third quarter was EUR -0.7 million (-0.3). 

The Gallerix segment's operating profit declined to EUR -1.2 million (EUR -1.0
million) during the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011, representing
-11.6% (-10.6%) of revenue. The Gallerix segment's operating profit for the
third quarter was EUR -0.7 million (0.5). 

OTHERS

Other operations include common expenses for the Group and senior management
(Board of Directors, Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer). All
operating and personnel costs related to business management were allocated to
the segments in the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011. No revenue
was recorded for Other operations during the period. The costs of Other
operations decreased year-on-year and amounted to EUR 0.8 million (1.2). The
costs of Other operations for the third quarter were EUR 0.17 million (0.25). 

BALANCE SHEET, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW

In the third quarter, the company arranged a directed share issue and a rights
issue, which strengthened the Group's equity by EUR 34.1 million in net terms.
EUR 10.0 million of the subscription payments relating to the subscriptions
made in the rights issue was paid in cash and EUR 3.0 million was paid by
offsetting loan receivables from the company. As a result of the directed
issue, the company's interest-bearing liabilities decreased by EUR 21.9
million. The subscription price of new shares was entered in the invested
unrestricted equity reserve. The Group's equity ratio strengthened, reaching
42.5% on 30 September 2011, compared with 18.9% on 31 December 2010. The
Group's equity was EUR 31.1 million on 30 September 2011, compared with EUR
12.5 million on 31 December 2010. Equity was decreased by the loss for the
review period 1 January to 30 September 2011. Equity per share was EUR 0.08 on
30 September 2011, compared with EUR 0.76 on 31 December 2010. 

The Group's non-current assets on 30 September 2011 amounted to EUR 44.2
million, a decrease of EUR 1.6 million compared with EUR 45.8 million on 31
December 2010. The decrease resulted mainly from the depreciation according to
plan. 

The net working capital for the Group on 30 September 2011 was EUR 6.7 million,
compared with EUR -1.6 million on 31 December 2010. The net working capital is
affected by the seasonal fluctuations in the operations, so that there is an
increase during the year and a reduction by the end of the financial year.
Because of the seasonal fluctuation, net working capital is not comparable to
the situation on 31 December 2010. 

The Group's non-current liabilities on 30 September 2011 amounted to EUR 8.0
million, a decrease of EUR 13.7 million compared with EUR 21.6 million on 31
December 2010. Non-current liabilities were particularly decreased by the EUR
11.0 million repayment of non-current interest-bearing loans from financial
institutions within the directed share issue in September 2011. The Group's
current liabilities on 30 September 2011 totalled EUR 34.1 million, compared
with EUR 31.9 million on 31 December 2010. Interest-bearing non-current
liabilities decreased EUR -14.0 million. Interest-bearing current liabilities
increased by EUR 5.7 million to EUR 17.4 million, compared with EUR 11.7
million on 31 December 2010. This was due to the increase in seasonal financing
needed to finance the seasonal increase in working capital. 

The Group's interest-bearing net liabilities on 30 September 2011 amounted to
EUR 13.5 million, compared with EUR 26.0 on 31 December 2010. The decrease was
mainly a result of the directed share issue which was arranged in September
2010 and used for conversion of EUR 21.9 million in interest-bearing
liabilities to equity. The Group's gearing on 30 September 2011 was 43.5%,
compared with 208.5% on 31 December 2010. 

The covenants of the bank financing agreement renewed in connection with the
company's financial restructuring in September 2011 were met on 30 September
2011. The parties have agreed that the levels of the financing agreement
covenants for the period 2011-2014 will be specified by 31 December 2011. 

In order to strengthen its financial position, Gallerix negotiated additional
debt financing of EUR 0.3 million in the third quarter. 

Cash flow from operations in the review period 1 January to 30 September 2011
was EUR -21.3 million (-15.1).The negative figure resulted from the
non-profitability of business operations and changes in working capital. Cash
flow from investing activities in the review period 1 January to 30 September
2011 was EUR -0.2 million (-0.7). Cash flow from financing in the review period
1 January to 30 September 2011 was EUR 25.7 million (15.3). A total of EUR 13.0
million worth of new shares was subscribed in the rights issue in September
2011 and EUR 21.9 million worth of new shares was subscribed in the directed
share issue. Funds acquired from the directed issue were used for the repayment
of the company's interest-bearing liabilities. As a result of the rights issue
in September, the Group's cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 4.2 and
totalled EUR 5.8 million on 30 September, compared with EUR 1.6 million on 31
December 2010. 

On 30 September 2011, the company had EUR 0.2 million of unused credit
facilities based on the company's debt financing agreement valid on 30
September 2011. The company announced on 10 June 2011 that it is considering
and investigating the option to sell the Gallerix business in order to improve
the financial situation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, 1 JANUARY 2011-30 SEPTEMBER 2011

Basis of preparation

This Interim Report was prepared in accordance with the IFRS accounting
standards, but in the preparation all IAS 34 standard requirements have not
been fulfilled. As of the beginning of the financial year, the company has
implemented new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations, as
described in the financial statements of 2010. The implementation of these new
and revised standards and interpretations does not have an impact on the
figures reported. Otherwise, the same accounting principles and calculation
methods as in the previous annual financial statements have been applied. 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
Tiimari's management to use estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of
assets and liabilities at the time of the preparation as well as amounts of
income and expenses in the financial period. Inventory valuation is based on
regular stocktaking which is the foundation for the management of the goods
flow process. As a general rule, shops do not order goods directly but their
inventories are replenished automatically through the logistics system.
Time-based mechanical devaluations (30 months 25%, 36 months 50% and 42 months
100%) were abandoned in the beginning of this year as we moved into
comprehensive product life cycle management in a systematic goods flow process.
Specific write-offs are made, when necessary. 

Furthermore, discretion is needed in the application of financial statement
accounting principles. Estimates and assumptions are based on knowledge at the
time of the Interim Report and consequently include risks and uncertainties.
Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions made. The figures
in the income statement and the balance sheet are for the entire Group. The sum
of individual figures may deviate from the presented total figures as the
figures in this document have been rounded. This Interim Report is unaudited.
