Viisnurk                      NEWS RELEASE                      09/22/2004



SALE OF WOOD PANELS DIVISION



On September 22, 2004 AS Viisnurk signed an agreement to sell its

Wood Panels Division's assets to OÜ Desparo. After negotiations with

different potential buyers, OÜ Desparo was chosen due to its best

offered price and payment terms. AS Viisnurk sold the Wood Panels

Division in order to focus on its core activity - furniture business.

OÜ Desparo is related with the owners of the birch proccessing

company in Pärnu - Lehtpuutöötlemise AS.



The assets of the Wood Panels Division consist of a sawmill, drying

kilns and edge-glued panels factory. The assets are sold together

with the land belonging to the Wood Panels Division, in total about

81,000m2. The land underneath the division is currently not

registered separately in the land registry and it will therefore be

separated from AS Viisnurk's Niidu 9 and Niidu 11, Pärnu land plots.

The total transaction value is EEK 44,000,000 plus VAT. The parties

have agreed on the following payment terms (all amounts without VAT):



- EEK 11,000,000 will be paid within two days from signing the law of

obligations agreement (in Estonian võlaõigusleping) on September 22,

2004

- EEK 33,000,000 will be paid with the signing of the real right

contract (in Estonian asjaõigusleping) which will be concluded after

the documentation for dividing the land of the Wood Panels Division

has been finalised. It is estimated that the signing of the real

right contract will take place in the period of December 15-31, 2004.

     

With the signing of the law of obligations agreement, OÜ Desparo will

obtain the right to use the assets but no ownership title will be

transferred. With the signing of the real right contract, the

ownership title of the assets will be transferred.



The balance sheet value of the Wood Panels Division's assets on

August 31, 2004 was EEK 56,936,295. AS Viisnurk will therefore occur

an extraordinary loss of EEK 12,936,295 from the transaction in

addition to transaction related fees which are about EEK 1.9 million.

The extraordinary loss will be accounted in AS Viisnurk's financial

accounts after signing the real right contract. Viisnurk will use the

receivables from the transaction to decrease the interest bearing

liabilities related to the Wood Panels Division.
