MARKET SITUATION

Russia and CIS countries, an important market for Nurminen Logistics, remained
active throughout the review period. In Finland markets remained in reasonable
level although the demand and market situation varied between different
business segments. 

Export by rail from Finland to the CIS countries that developed favorably in
the second half of the year 2011 slowed down slightly in the beginning of the
review period but started to improve as from the end of the review period. In
Russia's domestic railway market demand remained in a good level during the
whole review period. The company managed to increase its share in Russia's
domestic rail transport faster than expected. 

In special transport demand and price level varied heavily. Market situation
remained challenging in the review period and especially competition for large
mechanical engineering industry project deliveries continued to be tight. 

Business volume in transit transports especially through the Baltic countries
grew throughout the whole review period. Volumes in Kotka and Hamina terminals
developed better than expected as a result of growing transit transport volumes
via Finland to and from Russia. 

The forwarding and value added services market in Southern Finland and Vuosaari
harbour remained challenging and kept the price level low. Among the main
customer groups, demand in forest industry remained on the level of 2011 during
the review period and demand of mechanical engineering industry grew slightly. 

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2012

The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 19.1 million (2011: 17.7
million). Compared to 2011 the increase of net sales was 8.1%. Reported
operating result was EUR 1,175 (-634) thousand. The increase was 285 %.
Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 69 (0) thousand.
Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 1,106 thousand and increased
274% compared to 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 0.5 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 10,686 (2011: 10,546) thousand and operating result was EUR 1,420 (2011:
902) thousand. Operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 69 (0)
thousand. Therefore, comparative operating result was EUR 1,351 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. Profitability and
volumes grew in the review period especially in flat wagon traffic and chemical
transport. 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. The beginning of the year
was quiet in railway transport between Finland and Russia but demand improved
towards the end of the review period. 

Special Transports and Projects

The Special Transports and Projects business unit net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 1,976 (1 827) thousand and operating result was EUR 68
(-158) thousand. Due to the competition situation 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 3,411 (2,365) thousand and operating result was EUR 525 (-244) thousand.
The result of Transit Logistics unit was very good due to the container volumes
transported via Baltic countries and block train deliveries started from Riga
to Moscow. Kotka and Hamina terminals result developed favorably mainly due to
improved utilization rate and new value added services. 

Forwarding and Value Added Services

Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 3,054 (2,952) thousand and operating result was EUR -839
(-1,134) thousand. The improvement of the units result in the beginning of the
year was due to increased profitability of Vuosaari forwarding and terminal.
The volumes of Vuosaari logistics centre remained in the level of 2011 but the
result improved due to the development measures taken according to the launched
in the end of 2011 development program which aims to improve the profitability
of Vuosaari logistics centre.  In the review period the operating loss of the
Vuosaari logistics centre was EUR 0.6 (1.0) million. The results of the Rauma,
Turku and Vaalimaa forwarding offices were also slightly better than in the
first quarter of 2011.

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 harbours and therefore the volume
development of those harbours is relevant to the company. Volume development is
effected, among other things, by development of the transit trade that
decreased during the recession. Its outlook is unclear at the moment. 

The railway tariff changes of different countries might affect the price
competitiveness of rail transports 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. 

FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET

Company's cash flow from operations was EUR 656 thousand. Cash flow from
investments was EUR -32 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities amounted

At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR
3,109 thousand. Liquidity decreased in the review period but remained
satisfactory.

interest bearing debt was EUR 25.8 million.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

(109) thousand, accounting for 0.9% of net sales. Depreciation totaled EUR 1.0
(1.1) million, or 5.3% of net sales.
