Tiimari Plc         Stock Exchange Release 13 October 2009 at 8.30              


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

Tiimari Group's preliminary net sales in September 2009 were MEUR 5.8 (6.0),    
down 3% from the same period last year. Sales in Tiimari business segment were  
5% below September 2008 levels, while Gallerix business segment sales increased 
by 5% compared to last year. Gallerix's sales to franchise shops and from own   
shops picked up in Sweden. The weak demand in the Baltic region and Poland      
continued and the development of the currency exchange rates made the effects on
the sales in euro still bigger. The business operations in Norway were ceased at
the end of August and Tiimari Sweden sales were included in the sales figures   
for September 2008.                                                             

The nine-month preliminary cumulative sales of the Tiimari Group were EUR 48.7  
million (51.9), down approximately 6% from 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.                               

The Tiimore business gift merchandiser was sold at the end of September and will
in the future be reported under discontinued operations.
