MARKET SITUATION

Russia and the CIS countries, an important market for Nurminen Logistics,
remained active throughout the review period, although the increased
uncertainty of the world economy decreased demand with certain clients at the
end of the review period. In Finland, markets remained at a reasonable level,
although the demand and market situation varied between different business
segments. 

The volumes of export by rail to the CIS countries evened out after a spike in
April and in the second quarter of the year, railway traffic across the border
was on average slightly quieter than expected. On Russia's domestic railway
market demand remained at a good level throughout the review period. The
company has managed to increase its share in Russia's domestic rail transport
faster than expected. 

In special transport, demand and price level varied greatly. The market
situation improved slightly in the second quarter, but in the mechanical
engineering industry in particular, competition for large project deliveries
remained tight. 

Particularly in the Baltic Countries, the volumes of transit transport remained
at a satisfactory level throughout the review period. The development of
volumes at the Kotka and Hamina terminals varied throughout the review period.
The reasons for the decrease in volumes at the end of the review period were
the delays in deliveries for certain clients and the normal seasonal variations
in transit transport to Russia. 

The forwarding and value-added services market in Southern Finland and at
Vuosaari harbor remained challenging and kept the price level unsatisfactory.
Among the main customer groups, demand from the forestry industry increased in
the second quarter in comparison to the first quarter of 2012, whereas there
was a slight decrease in demand in the mechanical engineering industry. 

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2012

The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 39.5 million (2011: 36.3
million). Compared to 2011 the increase of net sales was 8.8%. Reported
operating result was EUR 2,703 (-440) thousand. The increase was 714.8 %.
Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 69 (248) thousand.
Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 2,634 (-687) thousand and
increased 483.2% compared to 2011. The allocation of expenses of the short and
long-term incentive bonus plans, decided upon according to the result
development, has been taken into account in the administrative expenses of the
company. These allocations were not made in the comparative period of year
2011. 

The non-recurring item in the review period was a result of a partial payment
of a receivable written down in the financial statements 2010. 

The appreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period increased the
company's financial result by EUR 0.1 million. This exchange rate profit had no
cash flow impact. 

Railway Logistics

The Railway Logistics business unit net sales for the review period amounted to
EUR 22,210 (2011: 20,901) thousand and operating result was EUR 3,008 (2011:
1,893) thousand. Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 69 (248)
thousand. Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 2,939 (1,645)
thousand. The growth of net sales and operating profit was mainly due to
improved client base especially in Russia and more effective operation of
wagons. The number of domestic railway transports in Russia remained at a good
level. According to its plan, the company has developed its organization in
Russia by improving the sales of railway logistics, among other things. These
measures together with the company's comprehensive railway stock and
high-quality services facilitated the sales growth and customer interest in
company's services in Russia and other CIS countries. However, in the first
half of the year, railway transport between Finland and Russia has been
slightly quieter than expected. 

Special Transports and Projects

The Special Transports and Projects business unit net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 4,636 (3,801) thousand and operating result was EUR 203
(-192) thousand. Due to the competition situation and an increase in expenses
the gross margin level of tenders won remained in unsatisfactory level in
average. The operating result improved compared to the year 2011 due to the
stronger demand, more active sales and improved equipment utilization rate as a
result of more successful return load procurement. 

Transit Logistics

The Transit Logistics business unit net sales for the review period amounted to
EUR 6,775 (5,166) thousand and operating result was EUR 1,211 (-252) thousand.
The result of the Transit Logistics unit during the review period was very
good, especially due to the container volumes transported via the Baltic
Countries to the CIS countries and Southern Asia, as well as the increased
export of containers in the Klaipeda unit. The main focus was on new customers
and services, so the utilization rate of Finnish terminals remained fairly
good, on average. 

Forwarding and Value Added Services

Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 5,916 (6,472) thousand and operating result was EUR
-1,720 (-1,889) thousand. The strengthening of operations and the development
of the price level improved the result of the business unit at the beginning of
the year. The volumes of the Vuosaari logistics centre increased slightly in
the second quarter compared to the first quarter. In the main customer groups,
the volumes of the forestry industry had the highest increase. Also, the
forwarding volumes at Vuosaari increased. The result of Vuosaari logistics
centre improved due to the development measures taken according to the launched
in the end of 2011 development program.  In the review period the operating
loss of the Vuosaari logistics centre was EUR 1.2 (1.7) million.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF SECOND QUARTER

The 2011 second quarter net sales amounted to EUR 20.4 million (2011: 18.6
million). Compared to 2011 the increase of net sales was 9.4%. Reported
operating result was EUR 1,528 (195) thousand. The increase was 685.2 %.
Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 0 (248) thousand.
Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 1,528 (-53) thousand and
increased 2972.4% compared to 2011. 

The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period decreased the
company's financial result by EUR 0.4 million. This exchange rate loss had no
cash flow impact. 

In the second quarter of 2012, net sales increased by EUR 1.3 million compared
to the first quarter. When compared to the same review period in the previous
year, net sales increased by EUR 1.8 million. The operating result, excluding
non-recurring items, improved by almost EUR 1.6 million compared to 2011. 

The net sales and result of Railway Logistics improved in the second quarter
compared to the first quarter. This was mainly due to the increased use of
covered wagons and platforms in Russia's domestic rail traffic. The volumes of
special wagons have somewhat increased and profitability has improved due to
negotiations and price changes that were completed in the beginning of the
year. 

The net sales and result of the Special Transports and Projects unit increased
considerably in the second quarter of the year compared to the first quarter.
The result was improved by a rise in sales and an improved equipment
utilization rate as a result of more successful return load procurement. 

The net sales and result of the Transit Logistics unit improved mainly due to
the container volumes transported via Baltic Countries. The volumes of the
Kotka and Hamina terminals decreased slightly due to the seasonal demand for
certain products and the delivery delays of certain clients. 

In the Forwarding and Value-Added Services unit, the net sales and operating
result developed positively in the second quarter compared to the first
quarter. The net sales and operating result were slightly below the previous
year's figures due to a large forwarding project that took place in the 2011
review period. In the second quarter, the volumes for forwarding increased at
all facilities (Helsinki, Rauma, Turku, Vaalimaa) compared to the first
quarter.

OUTLOOK

The company updated its year 2012 outlook on 12 April 2012:

Outlook published on 24 February 2012:

The net sales of the company are expected to increase in 2012 compared to 2011.
The company's operating result is expected to be better than in 2011. 

New outlook published on 12 April 2012:

The net sales of the company are expected to increase in 2012 compared to 2011.
The company's operating result is expected to be clearly better than in 2011. 

Nurminen Logistics is still expecting its markets to develop favourably in
2012. Demand is expected to remain on a good level, especially, in company's
strategically important growth market − domestic railway transports in Russia
and other CIS countries. The company continues to work for strengthening its
position especially in Russia. 

The company's unchanged long-term goal is to increase its net sales annually by
approximately 20% on average, including acquisitions, and to reach an operating
profit level of over 7%. The general economic situation is assessed to delay
achieving of the growth objectives in the short term. 

The company is actively following the structural changes in the logistics
market. 

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Increased uncertainty in the world economy might result in lower industrial
production volumes and as a consequence to cancellation of company's orders.
Especially unfavorable development of Russian and other CIS markets would have
a negative effect on company's net sales and result development. 

Over-capacity of Finnish ports maintains tough price competition. The company
operates in Vuosaari, Kotka and Hamina harbors and therefore the volume
development variation of those harbors is relevant to the company. 

The railway tariff changes of different countries might affect the price
competitiveness of rail transports and/or the company significantly. In
addition, price competition situation might burden the company's profitability
also in the future. Weaker than expected volume growth of foreign trade would
burden the development of the company's net sales and profitability. The
company has notable customer agreements whose continuity may be significant
especially to the profitability of the business operations of the Baltic
countries. 

The company has received (a total of 32) subsequent levy decisions from the
National Board of Customs' Eastern District Office in Lappeenranta, which state
that the company and VG Cargo Plc, which has filed for bankruptcy, are liable
to pay EUR 0.9 million of import taxes from the year 2009. The company does not
consider itself liable for the aforementioned import taxes and has not made
cost accruals. If there is a case for subsequent levy, the company is of the
opinion that it should primarily be directed at the bankrupt's estate of VG
Cargo Plc and be paid from the valid customs guarantee. The company has filed
an appeal with the Helsinki District Court against the subsequent levy
decisions made by the National Board of Customs. 

FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET

Company's cash flow from operations was EUR 3,283 thousand. Cash flow from
investments was EUR -7 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities amounted
to EUR -2,262 thousand. 

At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR
3,525 thousand. Liquidity remained satisfactory in the review period. 

Group's interest bearing debt was EUR 27.4 million and correspondingly the net
interest bearing debt was EUR 23.9 million. 

Balance sheet totaled EUR 68.4 million and equity ratio was 42.1%.
