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

Tiimari Group's preliminary net sales in August 2009 were MEUR 6.0, down 6% from
the same period last year. Sales in Tiimari business segment were 7% below      
August 2009 levels, while Gallerix business segment sales increased by 3%       
compared to last year. A warm spell in the beginning of August postponed the    
“back to school” season to the end of month, but sales for Tiimari's school and 
office supplies increased from last year. The weak demand in the Baltic region  
continued 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 still has not picked up after the summer period.                    

The eight-month cumulative sales of the Tiimari Group were EUR 42.8 million,    
down EUR 3.4 million or approximately 7% from the corresponding period last     
year. In Sweden Gallerix sales, measured in Swedish krona, increased by 1%      
compared to the corresponding period last year. 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.
