FINANCIAL RESULTS, 3 MONTHS 2005

The net sales of Viisnurk AS for the 1st quarter of 2005 were 61.9 mil. kroons
(4 mil. euros) and the net profit 3.9 mil. kroons (246 thou. euros). In the same
period of the last year, the net sales totalled 105.4 mil. kroons (6.7 mil.
euros) and the net profit 1.3 mil. kroons (82 thou. euros). The reason for the
difference in the net sales of the company for 2004 in comparison to the previous
periods can be explained by the fact that the Sports Goods and Wood Divisions
were closed down in 2004, but they still operated in the 1st quarter of that
year.
The total assets of Viisnurk amounted to 209.1 mil. kroons (13.4 mil euros) at
31.3.2005. At the end of the accounting period, the total liabilities of Viisnurk
amounted to 147.9 mil kroons and the debt to equity ratio to 71%. The liabilities
of the company have decreased by 3.3 mil. kroons (211 thou. euros) and the debt
to equity ratio by 1.5% compared to the beginning of the year.
The cash flow from operations was positive with 2.2 mil. kroons (140 thou. euros)
in the 1st quarter of the accounting year.

Divisional Review

The net sales of the Furniture Division of Viisnurk for the three months were
32.6 mil. kroons (2.1 mil. euros) and the profit 2.4 mil. kroons (152 thou.
euros). Last year the net sales of the Furniture Division for the three months
totalled 42.3 mil. kroons (2.7 mil. euros) and the profit 1 mil. kroons (62 thou.
euros).
The decrease in sales is, on the one hand, relating to the strategy devised in
2004 to terminate sales of some technically complicated and unprofitable product
lines. On the other hand, the furniture sale on the main target markets (Finland,
Germany) decreased, thereby influencing the customers of Viisnurk.
Measures to increase the net sales will be taken in the coming periods. We aim at
optimising division related product development process thereby that would result
in the increase in sales of corporate brands.

The Building Materials Division earned 5.2 mil. kroons (334 mil. euros) profit at
the net sales of 29.3 mil. kroons (1.9 mil. euros) in three months. In the same
period of the last year, the turnover of the division totalled 26.8 mil. kroons
(1.7 mil. euros) and the net profit 5.6 mil. kroons (359 mil. euros). The sales
of the division were clearly growing in the 1st quarter. The market situation and
economic indicators for the business unit are very good and better than expected.


The two divisions of Viisnurk AS, which were closed in 2004, brought about the
loss of 963 thou. kroons (62 thou. euros) in the 1st quarter. The main costs
included sale process costs and were also related with the keeping of assets in
order for sale. The disposal of the Sports Goods and Wood Divisions is finally
completed by now.
