NET SALES During the whole six-month period, the net sales increased strongly by 44.8 percentages up to EUR 45.6 million from last year's comparable period (EUR 31.5 million). The sales increase was due to the acquisition of Wulff Supplies Ab which operates in Sweden, Norway and Denmark and since the end of July 2009 is part of Wulff Group. Net sales in April-June totalled EUR 24.0 million with an increase of 62.9 percentages from the comparable period last year (EUR 14.7 million). Wulff Group's CEO Heikki Vienola: “The increase in net sales during the first six months is encouraging. However, our financial result is not satisfying. In order to improve the profitability, more actions will be taken to lower the expenses. With the help of the acquisition of Wulff Supplies and its successful integration we have achieved a position as a significant Nordic player in the industry. Currently, approximately half of our net sales come from our Scandinavian group companies. In Finland we are the domestic market leader. I believe that the improvement of the economic situation will affect our customers' operations and the demand for our services and products.” The Contract Customers Division is a comprehensive partner for customers in the field of office supplies, business and promotional gifts as well as fair and event marketing services. In January-June, the segment's net sales (EUR 37.5 million) increased by EUR 16.3 million i.e. 77 percentages year-on-year (EUR 21.3 million) due to Wulff Supplies which has been consolidated since the beginning of August 2009 and is part of the Contract Customer Division. In April-June, the division's net sales totalled EUR 20.0 million (EUR 9.7 million). The integration of Wulff Supplies with Wulff Group has been managed with success. The Nordic cooperation and the synergies in purchases for example give the customers even more competitive products and services. In the first half of 2010, Wulff Supplies managed to both increase its market share and win new customers. Wulff Supplies has put strong efforts in the new logistics center located in Ljungby Sweden, the transfer of operations to the new premises and other development initiatives. The new logistics center enables Wulff Supplies' future growth and the transfer of the premises went successfully. These initiatives aim to serving the customers even better in the future. The webstore Wulffinkulma.fi, opened at last yearend to serve all Finnish companies and organizations, is a significant investment in the Group's future operations. The webstore has already brought new customers which will support the Group's growth. To strengthen its status as the industry's e-commerce pioneer, Wulff continues to take strong efforts in the constant development and marketing of the webstore also in the second half of 2010. The webstrore is backed with a 120-year-long industry experience and a product range of nearly 4,000 products. The Direct Sales Division aims to improve its customers' daily operations with innovative products and the industry's most professional personal, local service. In the first half of the year, the net sales of the Direct Sales Division decreased by 23 percentages from last year's comparable sales of EUR 10.6 million down to EUR 8.2 million this year. Mainly, the decrease is due to the divestment of former group companies Everyman Oy and Officeman Oy which were sold to the minority shareholders in September 2009. In April-June, the division's net sales totalled EUR 4.2 million (EUR 5.2 million). For a sales company, the most important asset is its personnel. Capable persons make the growth possible and one of the most significant challenges for the Direct Sales division is to be able to recruit talented sales professionals. The Group invests in visibility and recruitment marketing in different media and aims to recruit several new direct sales employees in the Nordic countries. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE In January-June 2010, the EBITDA was EUR 0.06 million i.e. 0.1 percentage of net sales, which was lower than in the comparable period last year (EUR 0.36 million; 1.1 %). In April-June 2010, the EBITDA was EUR 0.00 million (EUR 0.28 million). The operating loss was EUR 0.45 million for the first half of 2010 compared to the operating loss of EUR 0.07 million a year ago. The operating loss was 1.0 percentage (0.2 %) of net sales. In April-June, the operating result was EUR -0.29 million (EUR +0.06 million). The Group continues to review its cost structure and performance efficiency with a focus on improving the profitability of all its operations. The financial performance of the Contract Customers Division was not as good as in the comparable period last year, and its six-month operating result was EUR -0.07 million (EUR +0.33 million). For the second quarter, the division's operating result was EUR -0.11 million (EUR +0.19 million). The economic slowdown has impacted especially the demand for business and promotional gifts and thus that business was loss-making in the first half of the year. In 2010, the Group has invested heavily in the launch, development and marketing of the new webstore Wulffinkulma.fi. The operating loss of the Direct Sales Division in the comparable period (EUR -0.34 million) turned up to an operating profit of EUR 0.11 million this year. The efficiency of the direct sales operations has improved compared to last year and the direct sales companies have invested in recruiting sales personnel and e-marketing. The changes made to the division's internal organization and the management practices in spring 2009 have been managed well which has affected positively the profit of the Finnish direct sales companies. In order to achieve a good profitability level and financial result, the cost efficiency improvement initiatives will continue in all direct sales companies. In Lithuania, the small direct sales operations started last year have been closed in summer 2010. The financial income and expenses totalled (net) EUR +0.21 million (EUR -0.10 million) including dividend income of EUR 0.12 million, interest expenses of EUR 0.15 million and other financial items (net) EUR +0.23 million.

In January-June, the return on investment (ROI) was -0.32 percentage (-0.04 %) and return on equity (ROE) was -1.4 percentage (-1.9 %). FINANCING, INVESTMENTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION The cash flow from operating activities totalled EUR -0.14 million (EUR +0.86 million) in January-June and EUR -0.14 million (EUR +1.08 million) in April-June. In addition to the profitability improvement initiatives, the Group aims to improve the working capital management and increase the cash flow from operating activities. In January-June 2010, the cash flow used in investing activities amounted to EUR -0.67 million including investments in intangible and tangible assets (EUR 0.61 million), payment of the additional acquisition price debt related to subsidiary Ibero Liikelahjat Oy (EUR 0.19 million) and proceeds from the sale of intangible and tangible assets (EUR +0.12 million).

In the comparable period January-June 2009, the cash flow used in investing activities totalled EUR -0.47 million including investments in intangible and tangible assets (EUR 0.45 million), the acquisitions of subsidiaries (EUR -0.08 million) and proceeds from the sale of intangible and tangible assets (EUR +0.06 million).

Torkkelin Paperi Oy's previous managing director Pekka Lähde continues working as the company's sales director. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE The economic downturn in the Nordic countries has clearly affected the demand for office supplies. The general uncertainty may continue the entire year 2010 which will most likely affect the ordering behaviour of some corporate clients also in the coming months. The improvement of the economic situation is expected to affect quickly the demand for office supplies. The possibly ongoing economic slowdown impacts especially the demand for business and promotional gifts. Although the business gifts are seen increasingly as a part of the corporate communications as a whole and they are utilized also in the off-season, some cost savings may be sought after by decreasing the investments in the brand promotion. In the economic downturn, the corporations also minimize attending fairs and decrease their event marketing activities. MARKET SITUATION AND OUTLOOK FOR 2010 Along with the global economic downturn, also the markets for office supplies have decreased notably in the countries where the Group operates. In the Nordic countries last year, the markets for office supplies decreased some 10 percentages and the markets for business and promotional gifts were impacted with a decrease of nearly a third. The Estonian markets for corporate promotional products decreased even more. In 2010, the markets are expected to remain the size as in 2009 or to grow slightly. Wulff's mission is to help its corporate customers to succeed in their own business by providing them with leading-edge products and services cost-efficiently in a way best suitable to them. Being the front-runner in its field, Wulff's latest acquisition was Strålfors Supplies Ab (Wulff Supplies since January 1, 2010) in July 2009, which strengthened the Group's position in the Nordic office supply markets and the Group became the most significant Nordic player in office supplies. The industry consolidation continues and the Group expects that the international operators continue increasing their market shares. As a part of this development, internationally operating Staples acquired a Finnish office supply company Oy Lindell Ab in July 2010. Historically, Wulff Group's business experiences seasonal fluctuation and a significant part of the Group's net sales and profit is generated in the fourth quarter. In 2010, the Group continues to take action for enhancing profitability. The Group focuses on the growth and development of its sales operations. In 2010, the Group expects to win new customers and gain growth in Scandinavia especially along with Wulff Supplies Ab and in Finland with the webstore Wulffinkulma.fi. The Group expects its net sales to grow remarkably from last year. Wulff is also prepared to carry out new strategic acquisitions. The group management believes that the financial result 2010 will be at last year's level. MEETING FOR INVESTORS AND ANALYSTS Wulff Group Plc arranges a meeting for investors and analysts today at noon (12.00) at restaurant Mamma Rosa, Runeberginkatu 55, Helsinki, Finland. FINANCIAL REPORTING IN 2010 The Group will publish the interim report for January-September 2010 on Wednesday November 10, 2010 at 9:00 A.M.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounting principles applied in the condensed consolidated financial statements These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 following the valuation and accounting methods guided by IFRS principles. The accounting principles used in the preparation of this interim report are consistent with those adopted in the preparation of the Annual Report 2009 taking into account also the new, revised and amended standards and interpretations. Adoption of the amended standards IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IAS 27 (Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements) impacted the accounting of minority interests and the amendments will affect the future business combinations significantly. Adopting the amendments in IFRS 2 and IAS 39 as well as the new interpretations IFRIC 17 and IFRIC 18 did not have a material impact on the information presented in this interim report. The IFRS principles require the management to make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the management's best knowledge of today, the final outcome may differ from the estimated values presented in the financial statements. In the financial statement 2009, the errors concerning previous years were corrected in the equity as of January 1, 2009, which has been taken into account accordingly in the comparable equity and key figures of 2009 presented in this interim condensed consolidated financial statement. The Group's ownership in Wulff Supplies Ab increased by one percentage in the end of June 2010 when the parent company acquired the shares of an employee leaving Wulff Supplies. As the acquisition price was based the share of the equity, the transaction did not impact the Group's financial result. After the review period in August, the parent company sold the one-percentage ownership to Wulff Supplies Ab's new key employee, which will not impact the Group's financial result. Closing of the small direct sales operations in Lithuania during the summer 2010 does not have a material impact on the Group's net sales, financial performance or financial status and thus it is not presented separately as discontinued operations based on IFRS 5. The TyEL pension premium loans withdrawn in summer 2009 have a bank guarantee which margin is linked to the covenants regarding the equity ratio and the interest-bearing debt/operating profit ratio. In 2009, the covenant was 35 % for the equity ratio and 5 for the interest-bearing debts/operating profit ratio. Based on the adopted financial statements 2009, the covenant for the interest-bearing debt/operating profit ratio was violated but the breakage has been agreed with the bank with no consequences for the Group. The Group has no knowledge of any significant events after the end of the interim period that would have had a material impact on this interim report in any other way that has been already discussed in the interim review by the Board of Directors.
