BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2009                                  

The company's business environment was strongly affected by the crisis in the   
world economy. The financial crisis, which started in the end of 2008 and       
continued during the review period, reduced all Finnish foreign trade volumes.  

The demand and volumes of Nurminen Cargo business unit weakened along with the  
market. Capacity utilization rate improved towards the end of the review period 
after a very weak January. Operations in the logistics centre at the Vuosaari   
harbour started in the end of 2008 at same time with the beginning of the global
financial crisis. The operations of the logistics centre developed positively   
despite the difficult market situation. The Logistics centre in Vuosaari is a   
significant complement to the value chain offered by Nurminen Logistics.        

Demand for Nurminen Heavy business unit varies with the rhythm of the deliveries
of mechanical engineering industry. The demand situation was fairly constant    
compared to the last review period of 2008.                                     

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE REVIEW PERIOD                        

The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 14.8 (2007: 18.8) million.  
Compared to the corresponding period last year the decrease of the net sales was
21.5%. Reported operating result was EUR -271 (1,053) thousand. The decrease was
124.3%. Operating result does not include non-recurring profits (2008: EUR 186  
thousand) and non-recurring costs (2008: EUR 81 thousand). Therefore comparative
operating result decreased 127.0% compared to the corresponding period last     
year.               

Net sales decreased strongly during the review period due to the sudden drop in 
the global economy and Finnish foreign trade. The drop affected especially      
Nurminen Cargo's volume situation. Operating result weakened strongly due to the
decrease of net sales and the increase of the fixed costs related to growth     
projects.                                                                       
The financial result was burdened by high interest rate of the rouble based loan
taken by the company's Russian subsidiary. The rouble based loan amounts to RUB 
448 million.                                                                    

Nurminen Cargo's net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 12.5 (16.5)    
million. Net sales decreased strongly due to the weakening of 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 -508 (1,006)    
thousand. The weakening of the operating result was due to volume decrease and  
increase of fixed costs related mainly to the opening of the logistics centre in
Vuosaari.                                                                       

Nurminen Heavy's net sales for the review period remained unchanged at EUR 2.3  
(2.3) million. Operating profit increased to EUR 238 (158) thousand and was in  
line with expectations.                                                         

The project cargo business of both segments continued on a good level in the    
first quarter of 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 situation of the financial markets delays achieving
of the growth objectives in the short term.                                     

There was a sudden change for the worse in Finnish economy during November and  
December 2008. Export volumes declined in all sectors and also import volumes   
declined strongly in the end of the year. The volumes of Finnish foreign trade  
have not decreased since the beginning of the year but both exports and imports 
are on a significantly lower level than in the corresponding period last year.  

The net sales of the continuing operations in year 2009 are expected to be lower
than in 2008 and the company's operating profit margin is expected to decline.  

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES                                              

The most significant business risks are associated with the uncertainty of the  
global economy and the international financial markets and local banks ability  
to act. It remains to be seen how pertinent the stimulus packages of different  
states are and what their effects are.                                          

The scale and duration of the effects of the financial crisis in Western        
countries and Russia are still difficult to estimate. The impact of economic    
uncertainty on company's business environment is difficult to forecast. The     
forecasts of both global and Finnish economy differ a lot. Therefore, there is  
an exceptional amount of uncertainty in the development the foreign trade       
volumes that are important to the success of the company and even large         
variations in the volumes of different product categories are probable in the   
coming months.

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

Shareholders re-elected the following ordinary members to the Board of

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD                                                  

The company announced on 20 April 2009 that it has concluded the                
co-determination negotiations initiated on 10 March 2009. The goal of the       
negotiations was to adjust the company's operations to match the economic       
situation and weakened demand for the company's services. Personnel reductions  
agreed to in the negotiations concern 26 persons, of which 14 will be made      
redundant. In addition, the company's personnel will be temporarily laid off for
a month. The temporary lay-offs will be implemented in stages during the year   
2009. As a part of the adjustment measures the top executives of the company    
have decided to forgo one month's pay from their salaries in 2009. This         
arrangement concerns eight persons. The cost savings of the adjustment measures 
based on the negotiations are approximately EUR 1.5 million for the year 2009.  

The company announced on 2 April 2009 its outlook for the first quarter of 2009 
as well as for the whole year 2009. In addition, the company updated its outlook
for the first quarter of 2009 on 21 April 2009.

Accounting policies                                                             

The interim report has been prepared in compliance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU and IAS 34 Interim Financial        
Reporting. In interim reports 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 interim report have been rounded and consequently the sum of
individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure. The presented     
financials are unaudited.
