The net sales of the continuing operations in year 2010 are expected to increase
compared to 2009 and the company's operating result excluding non-recurring     
items is expected to be positive despite the weak profitability in the beginning
of the year.                                                                    

The company believes that Nurminen Logistics' responsible behavior and          
investments in the future during difficult market conditions, as well as the    
company's good brand, have strengthened customers' confidence in the company,   
which in turn has already brought the company more customers.                   

Board of Directors' proposal for profit distribution                            

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend  
shall be distributed for the financial year 2009.                               

MARKET SITUATION                                                                

For Nurminen Logistics, 2009 was a year marked by the global economic crisis,   
which had a significant impact on the market. The recession, which began towards
the end of 2008 and continued throughout 2009, led to an across-the-board       
reduction in Finland's export trade volumes. Nurminen Logistics increased its   
market share, especially as a result of the opening of the Vuosaari logistics   
centre, and achieved a positive operating result in spite of the extremely      
difficult market situation.                                                     

Demand and volumes in the Nurminen Cargo business unit weakened strongly        
compared to 2008, alongside the market. Capacity utilisation recovered slowly   
from the second quarter onwards following a quiet first quarter, and continued  
its slow recovery through the second half of the year.                          

Operations at the new logistics centre located at the Vuosaari harbour got      
underway in November 2008, just as the global economic crisis began to bite. It 
will take its time before the logistics centre reaches its targeted operating   
level. The development of foreign trade and the Vuosaari harbour in particular  
will be a decisive factor. The first operating year in difficult market         
conditions has brought the company significant new customers and product flows. 

Demand in the Nurminen Heavy business unit is particularly affected by changes  
in the output of mechanical engineering industry and related project transports.
Demand remained at a moderate level at the beginning of 2009, but, beginning in 
the late spring, weakened for the rest of the year.                             

The difficult market conditions in 2009 and the changes they brought to the     
industry also presented Nurminen Logistics with new business opportunities. The 
opening of a new logistics centre in a modernised and centrally located terminal
freed up for use in Hamina harbour is one example of the opportunities available
to the company.                                                                 

Several economic institutions predict slight growth for both the Finnish and    
global economies during 2010. Foreign trade volumes are predicted to grow by    
around five per cent. However, it will be several years yet before growth       
returns trade volumes to their pre-crisis level, so market conditions are likely
to remain tight throughout 2010.                                                


TURNOVER AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY- 31 DECEMBER 2009                  

The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 62.5 (2008: 81.8) million.  
Compared to the corresponding period last year the decrease of the net sales was
23.6%. Reported operating profit was EUR 2,374 (4,638) thousand. The decrease   
was 48.8%. Operating profit includes non-recurring profits of EUR 2,024 thousand
(0) and non-recurring costs of EUR 59 (81) thousand. Therefore comparative      
operating profit was EUR 409 thousand and decreased 91.2% compared to the       
corresponding period last year.                                                 

Non-recurring profit was a result of the company's decision to give up its      
purchase option and first refusal right to the logistics centre in Vuosaari     
during the second quarter. The company has a long-term lease agreement in       
Vuosaari.  Aforesaid was published in a stock exchange release on 18 June 2009. 
As compensation the company received a payment of EUR 3.500 thousand, of which  
EUR 2,024 thousand was recorded as other revenues during the review period and  
the remaining EUR 1,476 thousand will be recorded monthly during the period from
January 2010 to November 2010. The original term of the purchase option was 19  
November 2008 - 18 November 2010.                                               
The non-recurring cost consists of the recorded asset sale loss resulting from  
the property arrangement that was published in 2 November 2009.                 

The company announced on 25 February 2009 that it will adjust its operations to 
the market situation. The savings goal of EUR 1.5 million related to personnel  
costs was achieved during the review period.                                    

Fire destroyed part of the company's terminal in Niirala on 25 June 2009.  Due  
to the terminal space destroyed in the fire a write-off of EUR 509 thousand has 
been recorded during the third quarter. Correspondingly an insurance            
compensation receivable of EUR 509 thousand has been recorded in other operating
income as the terminal was insured for its full value.                          

The financial result was burdened by high interest rate of the rouble based loan
taken by the company's Russian subsidiary. The entire rouble based loan was     
converted into euro based loan on 23 July 2009. The conversion caused a         
non-recurring cost of EUR 0.2 million that burdened the financial result. At the
time of conversion the rouble based loan amounted to RUB 426 million. The       
conversion reduces the company's financial costs due to the lower euro interest 
rate in comparison with rouble. Exchange rate differentials of the parent       
company's loan to the Russian subsidiary burdened the financial result by EUR   
0.2 million.                                                                    

Nurminen Cargo segment's net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 55.2   
(71.2) million. Net sales decreased strongly due to the weakening demand, which 
is related mainly to the decrease in Finnish export volumes to Russia and other 
CIS countries. Operating result decreased strongly and amounted EUR 341 (4,263) 
thousand. The weakening of the operating result was mainly due to volume        
decrease and increase of fixed costs due to the opening of the logistics centre 
in Vuosaari. The volume situation and profitability recovered slightly towards  
the end of the year.                                                            

Nurminen Heavy's net sales decreased to EUR 7.3 (10.7) million as the demand    
situation weakened. Operating profit decreased strongly to EUR 10 (1,139)       
thousand. Operating profit decreased due to drop in business volume and         
increased price competition.                                                    

TURNOVER AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 OCTOBER - 31 DECEMBER 2009                 

The 2009 fourth quarter net sales amounted to EUR 16.2 (2008: 20.9) million. The
net sales decreased by 22.5%. Reported operating profit was EUR 481 thousand    
(589 thousand). Therefore operating profit declined 18.3%. The operating profit 
includes non-recurring items of EUR 375 thousand (0). Therefore the comparative 
operating profit was EUR 106 thousand and declined 82.2% compared to 2008.      

The level of net sales remained low even though the volumes recovered slightly  
during the last quarter of the year. Nurminen Cargo business unit's demand      
situation recovered slightly. Nurminen Heavy business unit's demand situation   
continued to weaken during the fourth quarter as its customers reduced their    
deliveries.                                                                     


Profitability was burdened by weak capacity utilisation especially in Vuosaari  
logistics centre. The adjustment measures had a positive effect on operating    
profit. On the other hand, normal variations in the customer structure and      
especially the reduction in project transports weakened the profitability in    
comparison with the third quarter.                                              

ACQUISITIONS IN 2009                                                            

Nurminen Logistics acquired in June 12 per cent of the share capital of its     
subsidiary                                                                      
OOO Huolintakeskus from Russian minority shareholders of OOO Huolintakeskus.    
After the transaction Nurminen Logistics owns the whole share capital of OOO    
Huolintakeskus.                                                                 

In connection with the transaction Nurminen Logistics issued 121,859 new shares.
The shares were used as part of the sale price. After the arrangement the total 
amount of Nurminen Logistics' shares is 12,878,478.                             

OOO Huolintakeskus is a Russian railway operator which owns approximately one   
thousand railway wagons. Its office is located in St. Petersburg.               

The stock exchange release concerning the transaction was published on 23 June  
2009. 

OUTLOOK                                                                         

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.                           
Due to the global financial crisis foreign trade volumes have declined in all   
sectors. The volumes have started to slightly grow after strong decline in the  
beginning of 2009 but both exports and imports are still on a significantly     
lower level than before the financial crisis.                                   

The net sales of the continuing operations in year 2010 are expected to increase
compared to 2009 and the company's operating result excluding non-recurring     
items is expected to be positive despite the weak profitability in the beginning
of the year.                                                                    

The company believes that Nurminen Logistics' responsible behaviour and         
investments in the future during difficult market conditions, as well as the    
company's good brand, have strengthened customers' confidence in the company,   
which in turn has already brought the company more customers.                   

The company is actively following the structural changes in the logistics market
as well as acquisition opportunities.                                           
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES                                              

The downward trend of the world economy seems to have stopped and there are some
weak signs of the recovery of the world economy.  There is uncertainty in the   
development and the possible growth of the foreign trade volumes that are       
important to the company. If the volume levels stay low, there is a possibility 
that the price competition will intensify. Even large variations in the volumes 
of different product categories are still possible.                             

A significant risk factor in short-term is the industrial actions threatening   
the logistics sector. If materialised, they will weaken sector's operational    
preconditions and the company's profitability.                                  

FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET                                            

Company's cash flow from operations was EUR 2,420 thousand. Cash flow from      
investments was EUR 12,350 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities        
amounted to EUR -16,645 thousand. The most important item in cash flows from    
investments and financing activities is the property arrangement that was       
published on 2 November 2009. The arrangement has been recorded as property sale
and as financial lease.                                                         

At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 2,238

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 6 April 2009 made the        
following decisions:                                                            

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders confirmed the company's financial    
statements and the group's financial statements for the financial period 1      
January - 31 December 2008 and released the Board of Directors and the Managing 
Director from liability.                                                        

Amendment of Articles of Association                                            

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders decided in accordance with the       
proposal made by the Board of Directors that the section 2 (line of business) of
the company's articles of association shall be amended so that the references   
according to which the company can provide healthcare logistics and other       
healthcare services will be removed.                                            

Composition and remuneration of the Board of Directors                          

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders resolved that the Board of Directors 
shall consist of seven (7) ordinary members. The Annual General Meeting of      
Shareholders re-elected the following ordinary members to the Board of          
Directors: Olli Pohjanvirta, Juha Nurminen, Matti Lainema, Matti Packalén and   
Rolf Saxberg. Jukka Nurminen who had acted as deputy member of the Board of     
Directors was elected as an ordinary member. Eero Hautaniemi was elected as a   
new member. In its organising meeting immediately following the Annual General  
Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors elected Juha Nurminen as the    
Chairman of the Board and Matti Lainema as the Deputy Chairman of the Board. The
Board of Directors also appointed an Audit    Committee. The members of the     
Audit Committee are Eero Hautaniemi, Matti Lainema and Olli Pohjanvirta.        
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders decided to pay annual remuneration of
EUR 27,000 to the Chairman of the Board, EUR 18,000 to the Deputy Chairman of   
the Board, and EUR 13,500 to the other members of the Board and in addition a   
fee of EUR 700 per meeting to each member of the Board. It was decided to       
compensate the travel and other expenses of the members of the Board in         
accordance with customary practice. It was furthermore decided to pay to the    
members of the Board a merit pay in case share price rises above EUR 4.88. The  
remuneration will be calculated from the difference of share's average price for
March 2010 (added with dividends paid after this annual general meeting and     
before end of March 2010) and EUR 4.88 per share. For each percentage point the 
profit has accrued (calculated from the EUR 4.88 initial level), the chairman of
the Board shall be paid a remuneration of EUR 2,000 and other members of the    
Board EUR 1,000. If the profit exceeds 25 percent the remuneration shall be paid
according to 25 percent. The decision regarding remuneration means that the     
final remuneration of the Board members is subject to the total return for the  
company's share.                                                                

Dividend                                                                        
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders approved the Board's proposal that a 
per share dividend of EUR 0.06 is distributed from unrestricted equity reserve  
for the financial year 2008. The dividend was paid to shareholders entered in   
the company's shareholder register on the record date of 9 April 2009. The      
dividend payment date was 21 April 2009.                                        

Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the share issue and other       
special rights entitling to shares   

Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on the issuing new shares 
and/or special rights entitling to shares pursuant to chapter 10 section 1 of   
the Finnish Companies Act.                                                      

Based on the aforesaid authorisation the Board is entitled to release, either by
one or several resolutions, no more than 20,000,000 new shares. The             
authorisation could be used, e.g., for the financing of company and business    
acquisitions, corporate and business trading or for other business arrangements 
and investments, for the expansion of owner structure, and/or for the creating  
incentives or encouraging commitment in personnel.                              

The authorisation gives the Board the right to decide on share issue with or    
without payment. The authorisation for deciding on a share issue without payment
also includes the right to decide on the issue for the company itself, so that  
the number of shares granted to the company is no more than one tenth (1/10) of 
all shares held by the company.                                                 

The authorisation includes the right whereby the Board is entitled to decide of 
all other issues of shares and special rights. Furthermore, the Board is        
entitled to decide on share issues, option rights and other special rights, in  
every way, as the same as Annual General Meeting could decide. The authorisation
also includes right to decide on directed issues of shares and/or special       
rights.                                                                         

The authorisation remains until 30 April 2010.                                  

Auditor                                                                         

KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountant audit-firm, was re-elected as Nurminen 
Logistics Plc's auditor. Mr Lasse Holopainen acts as the responsible auditor.   
The auditor's term ends at the end of the first Annual General Meeting following
the election. Auditor's fee and costs will be paid in accordance with their     
invoice.                                                                        

DIVIDEND POLICY                                                                 

Company's board has on 14 May 2008 determined company's dividend policy,        
according to which Nurminen Logistics Plc aims to, in case company's financial  
policy so allows, annually distribute as dividends approximately one third of   
its net profit.                                                                 

AUTHORISATIONS GIVEN TO THE BOARD                                               

The board was given by the Annual General Meeting on 6 April 2009 an            
authorisation to decide on the issue of shares and special rights, for a maximum
of 20,000,000 new shares. Based on this authorisation the company issued in June
121,859 new shares. The shares were issued in order to acquire minority interest
of company's subsidiary OOO Huolintakeskus. The transaction was published in a  
stock exchange release on 23 June 2009.                                         

The authorisation is valid until 30 April 2010.                                 

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD                                           

Rouble based loan converted into euro based                                     

The company has converted its entire rouble based loan of RUB 426 million (EUR  
9,120 thousand) into euro based loan on 23 July 2009. The conversion caused a   
non-recurring cost of EUR 0.2 million that burdens the financial result. The    
conversion reduces the company's financial costs due to the lower euro interest 
rate in comparison with rouble. Exchange rate differentials of the parent       
company's loan to the Russian subsidiary burdened the financial result by EUR   
0.2 million.                                                                    

Nurminen Logistics sold its logistics properties to Ilmarinen Mutual Pension    
Insurance Company as part of financing arrangement                              

Nurminen Logistics sold its properties in Kotka, Luumäki, Vainikkala, Niirala   
and Jyväskylä to Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company. The selling price  
was approximately EUR 15 million. Nurminen Logistics continues its operations as
a leaseholder in the above mentioned properties on a ten-year lease agreement.  
Nurminen Logistics Plc has committed to repurchase the properties from Ilmarinen
after the term of lease agreement.                                              

The arrangement had no material impact on the company's result. The arrangement 
has been recorded as property sale and as financial lease.                      

The stock exchange release concerning the arrangement was published on 2        
November 2009.

December 2009. The centre offers clients an entire logistic value chain,

services, and special and heavy transport, as well as project services.         

Initially employing a staff of around 15, the centre includes a covered terminal
space of approximately 16,000 square metres, while the outdoor space, intended  
for various project services and containers, consists of three hectares. Inside 
the terminal, there is a blind track and outside, there is a specific track for

Accounting policies                                                             

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with     
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) complying with the standards 
and interpretations effective on 31 December 2009. In consolidated financial    
statements Nurminen Logistics Plc follows the same principles as in the annual  
financial statement 2008 with the exception of changes listed below.            

Other adopted new and amended IFRS-standards and interpretations have not had   
material impact on reported figures.                                            

IAS 1                                                                           

The Group applies the IAS 1 (revised) presentation of financial statement       
standard as of 1 January 2009. IAS 1 standard has mainly changed the            
presentation of the income statement and the statement of changes in equity.    

IFRS 8 Operating segments                                                       

IFRS 8 requires that reportable segment information, alongside the accounting   
principles observed therein, is based on internal reporting submitted to the    
corporate management. Implementation of IFRS 8 has not changed Group's segment  
reporting.                                                                      
All figures in this financial statement report have been rounded and            
consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum   
figure. The financial statement report's financials are audited.
