GROUP'S NET SALES AND RESULT PERFORMANCE In the first half of the year, the Group's net sales decreased by almost 9 percentages down to EUR 45.4 million from last year's EUR 49.6 million. The second-quarter net sales were EUR 22.0 million (EUR 24.4 million). The entire reporting period's net profit and cash flow increased positively due to improving the operations' efficiency and focusing on profitable business. Profitability improved in the Contract Customers Division and especially Wulff Entre, the company providing fair services, made a clear result improvement compared to the first half of 2011. The merging and development of the Group's business gift operations as well as the reorganisation costs in the Scandinavian direct sales operations brought non-recurring expenses in the reporting period. In the first half of the year, EBITDA was EUR 0.84 million (EUR 1.04 million) being 1.9 percentages (2.1 %) of net sales. In the second quarter, EBITDA was EUR 0.36 million (EUR 0.76 million) being 1.7 percentages (3.1 %) of net sales.

In the second quarter, EBIT was EUR 0.11 million (EUR 0.49 million). The Group continues to review its expense structure and optimise its operations to improve the profitability of its businesses. Wulff Group's CEO Heikki Vienola: ”The general economic situation and the decrease in the products' demand led to the sales decrease. The markets have not improved positively and our customers' demand for our products has not been as expected. Even we have won new customers, our net sales decreased from last year's level. I believe that by focusing on serving our customers in the best possible way as well as by investing in sales and the development of our Nordic concept, we will strengthen our status in Scandinavia and will still be able to serve our customers as the domestic market leader. We will ensure a good result with our strategic focusing on profitable business and operational efficiency. We will also continue the inventory turnover optimisation, in which we havesucceeded well in the first half of the year. Our equity-to-assets ratio increased by almost four percentages from the comparable period. Our goal is to achieve market leadership in the Nordic countries within the next five years. The business development jointly with our personnel and our customers is the key in achieving this goal. We have had the privilege of being the front runner in our industry for more than 120 years - on August 23, we will celebrate our 122nd anniversary.” In the first half of the year, the financial income and expenses totalled (net) EUR -0.04 million (EUR -0.28 million) including dividend income of EUR 0.02 million (EUR 0.02 million), interest expenses of EUR 0.13 million (EUR 0.19 million) and mainly currency-related other financial items (net) EUR +0.07 million (EUR -0.11 million). The second-quarter financial income and expenses netted EUR -0.05 million (EUR -0.17 million). In the first half of the year, the result before taxes rose up to EUR 0.28 million (EUR 0.23 million) and the net profit after taxes rose up to a profit of EUR 0.23 million being EUR 0.09 million better than in the first half of 2011 (EUR 0.13 million). The second quarter's result before taxes was EUR 0.06 million (EUR 0.32 million) and net profit after taxes was EUR 0.05 million (EUR 0.29 million). Earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.03 (EUR 0.01) in the first half of the year. EPS were EUR 0.00 (EUR 0.04) in the second quarter. Return on investment (ROI) was 1.55 percentage (1.48 %) for the whole reporting period and 0.41 percentage (1.55 %) in the second quarter. Return on equity (ROE) was 1.33 percentage (0.80 %) for the whole reporting period and 0.28 percentage (1.78 %) in the second quarter. CONTRACT CUSTOMERS DIVISION The Contract Customers Division is the customer's comprehensive partner in the field of office supplies, IT supplies, business and promotional gifts as well as fair services. The segment's net sales were EUR 38.0 million (EUR 41.1 million) in the first half of the year and EUR 18.4 million (EUR 20.1 million) in the second quarter. In the first half of the year, the division's operating profit was EUR 0.85 million being EUR 0.21 million better than in the first half of 2011 (EUR 0.64 million). The operating profit was EUR 0.35 million (EUR 0.52 million) in the second quarter. The merging and development of the Group's business gift operations brought non-recurring expenses in the reporting period. According to the Group's strategy, it is very important to invest in the constant development of services and renew the Group's structure when necessary. In the first half of the year, the good result of Wulff Supplies AB, operating in Scandinavia, improved further and also the Finnish office supplies companies, Wulff Oy Ab and Torkkelin Paperi Oy, improved their results. The Group's webstore Wulffinkulma.fi has shown especially good growth and profit increase, and it has been an important investment for the future and produced quick results. Wulff Entre, the company offering international fair services, continued to make good result by focusing on profitable services and its special expertise in the international fair services. Investing in sales and its development has resulted in both stronger customer relationships and an increase in clientele. In 2012, Wulff Entre exports Finnish companies' know-how to various new countries. The division's result is affected by the cycles of the business and promotional gift market: the majority of the products are delivered and the majority of the annual profit is generated in the second and the last quarter of the year. Wulff Group's business gift companies, Finland's two oldest business and promotional gift companies, Ibero Liikelahjat Oy and KB-tuote Oy, merged into Wulff Liikelahjat Oy in spring 2012. The new name and the common brand show the customers the most relevant idea that the customers are served by professionals of Wulff Liikelahjat Oy. Wulff Liikelahjat Oy's goal is to be the biggest and strongest player in Finland's business gift industry. DIRECT SALES DIVISION The Direct Sales Division aims to improve its customers' daily operations with innovative products as well as the industry's most professional personal and local service. The division's net sales were EUR 7.4 million (EUR 8.6 million) in the entire reporting period and EUR 3.7 million (EUR 4.3 million) in the second quarter. The operating result totalled EUR -0.09 million (EUR 0.25 million) in the entire reporting period and EUR 0.01 million (EUR 0.18 million) in the second quarter. The result was affected by e.g. the reorganisation costs of the Scandinavian direct sales operations, among other things. The Division's profitability is improved by concentrating on profitable product and service fields and by optimising the operations' efficiency. Wulff invests strongly in the development of the product and service range and aims to increase the synergy of the purchasing operations by groupwide competitive bidding and cooperation. Unifying the sales support systems and introducing the new CRM program are important investments for the future. Up-to-date and unified tools and systems save time and facilitate the sales work leaving more time for customer service. A talented and skilled personnel is Wulff's growth engine. The number and the skill level of the sales personnel affect especially the performance of Direct Sales. New sales personnel are being actively recruited by, for example, campaigning in the social media. Wulff's own introduction and training programmes ensure that every sales person gets both a comprehensive starting training and further education on how to improve one's own know-how. In 2012, the personnel development and training programme has been renewed. We have especially invested in the regular superior training. A sales organization is a good leadership school and sales experience is valued increasingly wide also in Finnish companies. Wulff is known as a sales academy. Being a growing and internationalizing Group, Wulff has possibilities to employ both experienced sales professionals and new sales talents, who are entering the industry for the first time, as well as people who are changing jobs. The Group has potential to recruit several new sales talents in its operational countries. FINANCING, INVESTMENTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION The cash flow from operating activities was positive: EUR 0.37 million (EUR -2.71 million) in the whole reporting period and EUR 0.68 million (EUR -0.69 million) in the second quarter. The Group has enhanced its working capital management and EUR -1.53 million less working capital was tied in the inventories than a year ago.

The Group paid EUR 0.05 million for the acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interests in Wulff Supplies AB and Wulff Direct AS to the subsidiaries' key personnel in the first half of 2012. In total, the Group's cash flow was EUR -1.05 million (EUR -2.77 million) in the entire reporting period and EUR -0.52 million (EUR -0.19 million) during the second quarter. The Group's bank and cash funds totalled EUR 2.46 million in the beginning of the year and EUR 1.47 million in the end of June 2012.

The majority, approximately 60 percentages of the Group's personnel works in sales operations and approximately 40 percentages of the employees work in sales support, logistics and administration. The personnel consists approximately half-and-half of men and women. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE The demand for office supplies is still affected by the organizations' personnel lay-offs and cost-saving initiatives made during the economic downturn. The general uncertainty may still continue which will most likely affect the ordering behaviour of some corporate clients in 2012. 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. The ongoing economic uncertainties impact especially the demand for business and promotional gifts. During the uncertain economic periods, the corporations may also minimize attending fairs. Half of the Group's net sales comes from other than euro-currency countries. Fluctuation of the currencies may affect the Group's net result and financial position. MARKET SITUATION AND FUTURE OUTLOOK Wulff is the most significant Nordic player in its industry. Wulff's mission is to help its corporate customers to succeed in their own business by providing them with leading-edge products and services in a way best suitable to them. The markets have been consolidating in the past few years and the Nordic markets are expected to consolidate in the future as well. Wulff is prepared to carry out new strategic acquisitions. Also in 2012, the Group continues taking actions for enhancing profitability. The Group focuses on the growth and development of its sales operations. The Group expects to win new customers and gain growth especially along with Wulff Supplies AB in Scandinavia and with the webstore Wulffinkulma.fi in Finland. Based on the Group management's recent outlook for 2012, the annual net sales will decrease from last year's level (2011: EUR 99 million) but the Group has still good opportunities to increase the operating profit excluding non-recurring items due to the cost-efficiency improvement actions taken (2011: EUR 1.6 million). Typically in the industry, the annual profit is made in the last quarter of the year. FINANCIAL REPORTING 2012 Wulff will release Interim Report for January-September 2012 on Thursday November 8, 2012. Wulff's financial reports are published in Finnish and in English, and they are available at the Group's website www.wulff-group.com.

This 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 report are consistent with those described in the previous year's Financial Statement taking into account also the possible new, revised and amended standards and interpretations. Income tax is the amount corresponding to the actual effective rate based on year-to-date actual tax calculation. 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. A part of the Group's loan agreements include covenants, according to which the equity ratio shall be 35 percentages at minimum and the interest-bearing debt/EBITDA ratio shall be 3.5 at maximum in the end of each financial year. On December 31, 2011 the equity ratio was 40.3 % and the interest-bearing debt/EBITDA ratio exceeded 3.5 in accordance with the covenant requirement. The Group has no knowledge of any significant events after the end of the financial period that would have had a material impact on this report in any other way that has been already discussed in the review by the Board of Directors.
