DEVELOPMENT OF NET SALES AND PROFIT                                             

Honkarakenne's consolidated net sales from January to June 2008 were EUR 45.4   
million, compared to EUR 47.2 million in the same period last year. The net     
sales decreased by EUR 1.7 million and remained 3.6% below last year's figures. 
The domestic net sales decreased by EUR 2.2 million, whereas the international  
trade increased by EUR 0.5 million.                                             

The operating profit for January-June amounted to EUR 2.2 million (EUR 2.3      
million), and profit before taxes stood at EUR 1.9 million (EUR 2.0 million).   

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS                                                       

The Group's financial position has remained stable. The equity ratio stood at   
36.9% (40.0%) and interest-bearing net liabilities were EUR 14.9 million (EUR   
9.9 million). Group's liquid assets were EUR 2.4 million (EUR 3.1 million).     
Gearing stood at 78.9% (52.7%). Capital expenditure was EUR 2.4 million (EUR 1.4
million) and mainly focused on production's machine and equipment purchases.    

MARKET DEVELOPMENT                                                              

Construction of single-family houses in Finland decreased in the first half of  
the year. The level of holiday house construction has remained almost the same  
and the situation in holiday center construction has been active. Competition in
the holiday construction market has intensified, while the demand for           
construction of single-family houses has weakened.                              

Typical of West European and Japanese demand has been the uncertainty of the    
general economic situation's development. The number of construction licenses   
has decreased from last year, and customers' buying decisions are delayed due to
the longer selling times of old homes and stricter house loan terms. With regard
to Japan, the level of exchange rates has still complicated exports from Europe.

Demand in Eastern Europe, Russia and the neighboring region has continued       
positive. The polarized spread of wealth has kept the construction of luxury    
homes stable, regardless of the general economic development.                   

Thanks to the good sales in June, the presales of the second quarter exceeded   
the first quarter sales. However, the cumulative total sales were as estimated, 
but almost 20% less than last year.

The Group's order book was EUR 32.3 million at the end of June. The             
corresponding figure from last year was EUR 35.9 million.                       

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING                                                          

Honkarakenne, the world's leading log house manufacturer and dealer, is         
celebrating its 50th anniversary. During the first part of the year, the company
took part in several construction industry exhibitions in all of its main market
areas. In summer the Holiday Home Fair was held in Pori and Housing Fair in     
Vaasa, Finland, and company's products were well presented. Construction of     
Housing Fair in St. Petersburg is nearly finished and the fair will be opened to
visitors in September.                                                          

All of the product launchings are connected to the events of Honka's 50th       
anniversary. Furthermore, the marketing will focus on the story-based theme, in 
which the company seeks customers' Honka stories along its 50-year-journey      
(www.honkalife.com). In Finland Honkarakenne will continue supporting WWF's     
Operation Mermaid, which addresses the threats to the Baltic Sea.               

STAFF                                                                           

The group had 405 employees at the end of June. This is 20 less than last year, 
most of whom came from the parent company operations.                           


OWNERSHIP CHANGES IN SUBSIDIARIES                                               

The company's subsidiary, Finwood Oy, organized a directed issue in February.   
The parent company's ownership decreased to 68.2% after the issue.              

NEW ASSOCIATED COMPANY                                                          

On 9 June 2008 Honkarakenne Oyj bought a 37.5% stake in Karjalan Lisenssisaha   
Invest Oy. Its three Karlis companies, operating in Russia, were established in 
1993, and have been Finnish-owned since 2006. Since then the companies' logging 
rights have been expanded, the sawmill's capacity improved, and its plant and   
equipment modernized. The net sales of the companies will be EUR 8 million. The 
companies have 45 employees in the Republic of Karelia.                         

40,000 company shares were used as part of the share capital price, in addition 
to which Honkarakenne Oyj guaranteed the loan, taken out to develop the         
companies.                                                                      

Pine and spruce growing in Russian Karelia are of good quality and suitable for 
construction. The production plant of Karlis companies is situated close to the 
border, in Wärtsilä on the Russian side of the border. Its logging rights are   
approximately 60,000 cubic meters a year. In addition, it purchases saw-timber  
trees from Finnish forest companies and local companies. The plant's sawing     
capacity in one shift is 50,000 cubic meters a year.                            

The raw material will be upgraded in Honkarakenne's Finnish log house factories.

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ACCOUNTANTS                           

The board members elected in Annual General Meeting in April include Mauri      
Saarelainen, Eero Saarelainen, Tomi Laamanen and Mauri Niemi (old members) and  
Pirjo Ruuska as a new member. Pirjo Ruuska, construction engineer, is the       
managing director of Epira Oy. In the past she has acted as a designer and the  
delivery manager of Honkarakenne's Russia Team. Pirjo Ruuska was born at        
Pielisjärvi in 1956, and owns 1,530 Honkarakenne A shares and 76,216 company's B
shares.                                                                         

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

HONKARAKENNE OYJ'S OWN SHARES AND AUTHORIZATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS       

Honkarakenne Oyj repurchased 43,198 of its own B shares during the period under 
review for an average price of EUR 4.82 per share. At the end of the review     
period the company held 161,298 of its B shares with a total nominal value of   
EUR 322,596.00 and a total purchase price of EUR 964,183.39. These shares       
represent 4.3% of the company's capital stock and 1.7% of the voting rights. The
purchase cost has been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated   
financial statements.                                                           

The Board of Directors has been granted a share repurchase authorization, valid 
until 3 April 2009, to repurchase company shares following which the company and
its subsidiaries would hold a maximum of 10% of the company's capital stock. The
Board of Directors has also been granted authority, also valid until 3 April    
2009, to dispose of 374,896 B shares. Company used 40,000 shares of this        
authority, when purchasing Karjalan Lisenssisaha Invest Oy.                     

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM                                                     

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Corporate Governance recommendations for listed    
companies issued by OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki, the Central Chamber of        
Commerce and the Confederation of Finnish Industries EK.                        

FUTURE OUTLOOK                                                                  

The market development for the rest of the year is expected to continue in a    
similar vein. On the domestic and West European markets customers will probably 
continue to wait for general economic development. On the domestic holiday house
market and West European single-family house market there are a substantial     
number of customers, who will wait for confidence in the economy to improve     
before making decisions.                                                        

The most determining factor in the Japanese market in relation to the current   
products is the level of the exchange rates,  which are not expected to change  
to any extent. In construction volumes the bottom level has been reached, and no
significant turn for the better is expected in the short run.                   

Demand in East Europe, Russia, and the neighboring region is expected to remain 
stable. The growing upper middle class is expected to greatly increase the      
demand for solid wood single-family houses.                                     

The company will continue the strengthening program it launched last year, and  
it will help to improve profitability, compared to last year's second half.     
Furthermore, the price of wood has decreased from the peak prices of last fall, 
and is expected to remain stable for the rest of the year. The result of the    
whole year will show a profit.
