HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2010                    

SUMMARY                                                                         

Interim Report January - March 2010                                             

Honkarakenne Group's consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2010       
amounted to EUR 8.5 million, a decrease of 26.2% on the previous year's         
corresponding period (EUR 11.5 million). Profit before taxes showed a loss of   
EUR 2.0 million (loss of EUR 1.2 million) and the earnings/share ratio was a    
loss of EUR 0.47 (loss of EUR 0.27). 
Due to the issue of new shares, the historical indicators by share have been    
corrected using the following formula: average number of shares x 1.01.         

The financial position of the Group improved during the quarter. The programme  
to boost earnings which was launched in January is progressing and the order    
book is increasing. The turnover of the entire year is expected to be on the    
level of the previous year. The Group aims at a profitable result during the    
accounting period.

Esa Rautalinko, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with the   
interim report:                                   

The recession continued on all the main markets of Honkarakenne. Especially in  
Finland, the downswing continued to be strong. The strike that took place in    
March affected also the Far East turnover.                                      

The focus during the first quarter was on the realisation of the programme to   
boost earnings. The Group aims to achieve cost savings of around EUR 5 million  
this year. Especially, the cost-saving programme concentrates on the use of     
industrial production methods in the production of log houses, from the first   
meeting with the customer to design, production and delivery.                   

In connection with the cost-saving programme, Honkarakenne arranged structural  
co-operation negotiations during the first quarter. The level of personnel      
resources was adjusted to the level required by the volume of the operations. As
a result, 33 contracts of employment were terminated, of which 12 were pension  
arrangements. In addition, 45 employees were temporarily laid off for an        
indefinite period. Later, after the end of the first quarter, Honkarakenne      
initiated co-operation negotiations on the layoffs, with the aim to ensure      
competitiveness despite the fluctuation in sales and production.                

After the first quarter, EUR 0.7 million have been saved from the total aim of  
EUR 5 million set out in the cost-saving programme.                             

NET SALES                                                                       

Honkarakenne Group's consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2010       
amounted to EUR 8.5 million, compared to EUR 11.5 million in the same period    
last year. Net sales decreased by EUR 3.0 million and remained 26.2% below last 
year's figure. Domestic net sales decreased by EUR 1.7 million (-24.6%) and     
export net sales by EUR 1.3 million (-24.3%).

DEVELOPMENT OF PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY                                         

Operating profit in January-March was EUR -1.8 million (EUR -1.2 million).      
Profit before taxes stood at EUR -2.0 million (EUR -1.2 million). The launch of 
the cost-saving programme curbed the decrease in turnover. The operating profit 
includes EUR 0.3 million of non-recurring costs related to the cost-saving      
programme. Of these, 77% are connected to severance pay and 23% to the          
implementation of rationalisation projects.                                     

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS                                                       

The financial position of the Group improved during the quarter. The equity     
ratio stood at 33.6% (30.9%) and interest-bearing net liabilities at EUR 15.9   
million (EUR 20.6 million). EUR 4.4 million of the interest-bearing net         
liabilities carries a 30% equity ratio covenant term. The next review is due on 
31 December 2010. Group liquid assets totalled EUR 1.9 million (EUR 2.6         
million). The Group also has a EUR 10.0 million bank overdraft facility, EUR 4.3
million of which had been drawn on at the end of the report period (EUR 6.0     
million). Gearing stood at 112.1% (135.9%). Capital expenditure totalled EUR 0.2
million (EUR 0.7 million).                                                      

MARKET DEVELOPMENT                                                              

On the basis of a report commissioned by RTS Oy, Finnish log house production is
expected to grow by 4.7% this year. The figure includes production for Finland  
and for overseas export.                                                        

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING                                                          
In Finland, Honkarakenne concentrated on the marketing of holiday homes, saunas 
and the Honka Tonttipalvelu building land service.  
The Effecta house model collection was launched in Japan. Thanks to its
cost-effective structural solutions and choice of components, the Effecta
collection offers a price-competitive massivewood alternative to suit the
market situation. 

In Western Europe, the launch of the Honka Fusion™ product concept was          
continued, along with co-operation with architects to boost the visibility and  
demand of the concept. The first Honka Fusion™ model house open to the public   
was delivered at Lyon, France. The house is designed by the Italian architect   
Francesco Siani. In the Alpine region, Honkarakenne also delivered a            
kindergarten building designed according to the Fusion concept. The Fusion      
projects, utilising a non-shrinking log structure, are a significant and growing
part of the order book for Western Europe.                                      

On the German market, the Seasons model collection, conceptualised and priced   
ready for the customer to move into, was introduced to the entire sales network.
The collection consists of four main models between 100 and 140 square metres.  

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                                                        

During the first quarter, Honkarakenne has concentrated on developing the       
production techniques of the newest innovations. The technological solutions    
that are being developed will be introduced into products during the second     
quarter.                                                                        

The profile of the log frames will be modified, making it more air-tight and    
energy-efficient. In addition, corner notch solutions will be developed in a    
more energy-efficient direction. All the future solutions are breathing, as are 
Honkarakenne's other products. They make possible a healthy indoor air of       
excellent quality.                                                              

In addition to energy efficiency, the future solutions make possible a unique   
visual appearance. The dark shadow line between the logs is minimised and the   
hole in the inside corners, characteristic of log buildings, can be removed with
new notching solutions.                                                         

In January-March, consolidated R&D expenditure was EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.1     
million), representing 0.7% of net sales (0.4%). In the report period, the Group
did not capitalize any development expenditure.                                 

STAFF                                                                           

At the end of March, the Group employed on average 334 people (393). This is 59 
less than at the same time in the previous year.                                

On 15 March 2010, the company concluded the co-operation negotiation that it had
begun in January. As a result, 33 contract of employment were terminated, of    
which 12 were pension arrangements. In addition, 45 employees were temporarily  
laid off for an indefinite period.                                              

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2010, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND          
ACCOUNTANTS                                                                     

Honkarakenne Oyj's Annual General Meeting held on 26 March 2010 at the corporate
head office in Tuusula. The General Meeting confirmed the financial statements  
of the parent company and the Group, and released the Board members and the     
President and CEO from liability for the year of 2009. The Annual General       
Meeting decided that dividends will not be distributed for the financial year   
2009.                                                                           

To the Board of Directors were elected: Mr Mauri Saarelainen, Mr Tomi Laamanen, 
Mr Mauri Niemi, Ms Pirjo Ruuska, Mr Lasse Kurkilahti and Mr Marko Saarelainen.  
The Board of Directors convened for its constituent meeting and appointed Mr.   
Lasse Kurkilahti as Board Chairman.                                             

KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Public Accountants, was selected to continue as the      
company's auditor with Ari Eskelinen as chief accountant.                       

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S DIRECTED ISSUE, OWN SHARES AND AUTHORIZATIONS TO THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS                                                                       

The issue of 1,200,000 B shares and the increase in share capital, were         
implemented and entered in the Trade Register at the beginning of February 2010.
The Board allocated the 1,200,000 B shares concerned to the subscribers at the  
subscription price of EUR 2.90 per share. The total subscription price of the   
new shares amounted to 3,480,000 euros, resulting in an increase of 2,400,000   
euros in the share capital, with the remainder recorded in the invested         
non-restricted equity fund. Following the share issue, Honkarakenne Oyj's share 
capital comprises a total of 4,948,968 shares, of which 300,096 are A shares and
4,648,872 are B shares. Each B share carries one (1) vote and each A share      
carries twenty (20) votes. Hence, Honkarakenne's shares in aggregate carry a    
total of 10,650,792 votes. Following the increase in share capital, the         
company's total share capital is 9,897,936 euros.                               

Honkarakenne Oyj has not repurchased its own B shares during the period         
under review.  In connection with the directed issue, Honkarakenne sold some of 
the equity shares that it held to a restricted circle of the company's key      
personnel. The number of shares sold was 118,500 at EUR 2.90 per share. At the  
end of the review period the company held 95,385 of its B shares with a total   
nominal value of EUR 190,770.00 and a total purchase price of EUR 379,619.57.   
These shares represent 1.93% of the company's capital stock and 0.90% of the    
voting rights. The purchase cost has been deducted from shareholders' equity in 
the consolidated financial statements.                                          

On 26 March 2010, the Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of  
Directors to acquire a maximum of 400,000 of the company's own B shares, using  
funds from the unrestricted equity of the company. In addition, the Annual      
General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on an issue of shares with or    
without payment and on the giving of special rights to shares referred to in §1 
of Chapter 10 of the Finnish Limited Companies Act in one or more batches. On   
the basis of the authorisation, the Board may give a total maximum of 1,200,000 
new shares and/or the old B shares that are in the possession of the company.   
This includes the shares that may be given on the basis of the special rights.  
Both of these authorisations are valid until 25 March 2011.                     

OWNERSHIP CHANGES IN ASSOCIATED COMPANIES                                       

On 29 December 2009, Honkarakenne Oyj concluded an agreement to sell its 15%    
stake in PW-Windows Oy, a windows manufacturer based in Ikaalinen. The sale was 
concluded in accordance with the terms in January 2010. Honkarakenne            
relinquished its ownership in PW-Windows Oy as part of the drive to streamline  
Group structure and improve purchasing operations.                              

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE                                                            

Honkarakenne Oyj observes the corporate governance code for listed companies    
issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company's website,     
www.honka.com/investors, provides more information on the corporate governance  
systems.                                                                        

FUTURE OUTLOOK                                                                  

The decrease in demand is believed to have stopped on all markets, but the      
market situation is still difficult to predict on all the main markets of the   
Group. In sales, the protracted nature of the sales process and the small amount
of orders that will be delivered in the long-term can be seen especially        
clearly.                                                                        

The Group had order book for EUR 21.2 million at the end of March. At the same  
time last year, this number was EUR 19.8 million; there has been a growth of 7%.
The order book includes orders whose delivery date is within the next 24 months.
Some orders may include conditions related to building permits or financing.    

FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES                                             

Despite the rescue plan, the financial situation in the eurozone creates        
uncertainty on the market which is visible in the challenge posed by evaluating 
currency and interest rate risks. This has an especially pronounced effect on   
export markets. In exports, the value of individual objects is high, and        
therefore the effect of market uncertainty on sales may significantly affect the
Group even in the case of a single order.                                       

Overall, the time the markets need to recover to reach a more profitable level  
is a risk.                                                                      

The Group has one significant concentration of credit risks in sales            
receivables, concerning the open sales receivables of one importer. No provision
for doubtful debt has been made for this. The new sales made with this importer 
have been paid according to the agreed terms and conditions. Deliveries to the

EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW                                            

On 19 April 2010, Honkarakenne Oyj initiated co-operation negotiations          
concerning its entire personnel in Finland. The negotiations continue the       
adaptation measures of the company. They aim to safeguard the company's         
competitiveness, taking into account seasonal fluctuations and the development  
of sales. The negotiations concluded on 12 May 2010. As a result the company can
lay-off personnel temporarily maximum of 90 days by the end of the year 2010.   
The lay-off's concern all personnel groups.                                     

OUTLOOK FOR 2010                                                                

Honkarakenne makes no changes to its previous outlook for 2010. The turnover of 
the entire year is expected to be on the level of the previous year. The company
aims at a profitable result during the accounting period. The financial position
and liquidity of Honkarakenne are at a satisfactory level after the realised    
issue of shares. If business develops in the expected manner, they make it      
possible to undertake rationalisation and development of the activity in 2010.
