NURMINEN LOGISTICS PLC'S INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2008
Until 31 December 2007, Nurminen Logistics Plc was called Kasola Plc. The
company sold its old operations (the "Kasola operations") in a transaction
executed on 23 November 2007. Correspondingly, the company received its current
operations (the "Nurminen Logistics operations") on 1 January 2008. These
arrangements were described in more detail in earlier stock exchange releases
and the registration document and securities note published by Kasola Plc on 7
December 2007.
The comparative figures presented in the first section of this interim report
are 2007 carve-out financial information of Nurminen Logistics operations
demerged from John Nurminen LLC. Whenever comparative carve-out figures are not
available they are not presented. In addition, first quarter figures with
comparison to Kasola Plc's first quarter 2007 and full year 2007 figures are
presented in Section 2. These figures, however, are not comparable with the
company's current operations. The pro forma balance sheet consists of Nurminen
Logistics business operations' carve-out information and Kasola Plc's balance
sheet after the Kasola operations were sold.

MARKET REVIEW/BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Nurminen Cargo enjoyed favourable market conditions for most of the period.
Economic outlook was good, which lead to strong demand both from old and new
customers. The import of wood from Russia continued to decline and the future
prospects of this business are bleak. The financial impact of the wood
operations is not material, however. Moscow air cargo business was discontinued
due to weak profitability, which caused some non-recurring costs. Shares in
Turku Stevedoring Oy were profitably divested.
Nurminen Heavy continued to benefit from the boom in the mechanical engineering
industry. Demand was robust in all main markets. Nurminen Heavy operations in
Tallinn were shut down, which did not have a material impact on profits.
The market conditions of Nurminen Care did not change significantly. The
consolidation of the ambulance operator market continues as the basic structure
of the industry remains fragmented.
TURNOVER AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2008
The net sales of the first quarter 2008 amounted to EUR 21.0 (2007: 18.7)
million. Compared to the corresponding period last year the increase of the net
sales was 11.8%. Reported operating profit was EUR 1,186 (832) thousand. The
increase was 42.5 %. Operating profit includes non-recurring profits of EUR 186
thousand (0) and non-recurring costs of EUR 81 (0) thousand. Therefore
comparative operating profit was EUR 1,081 thousand and increased 29.9 %
compared to the corresponding period last year.
Non-recurring asset sale profit (EUR 186 thousand) resulted from other
shareholders redeeming Nurminen Logistics Plc's shares in Turku Stevedoring Oy.
Non-recurring costs were related to the winding-up of Moscow air cargo business.
The winding-up was published in stock exchange release by Kasola Plc on 28
December 2007.
In total, the development of the business operations in the first quarter met
the expectations both in terms of the volume and margins. The unexpected
postponing of certain customer projects to the second quarter of the year kept
the net sales on a slightly lower level than expected.
The financial result was burdened by the weakening of Russian rouble during the
first quarter, which resulted in unrealised translation loss of EUR 633
thousand. These losses were related to an internal loan which the parent company
granted to a Russian subsidiary. Correspondingly the strengthening of Russian
rouble that has accorded so far in second quarter has resulted in unrealised
exchange rate gains for the company. On the other hand the financial income
includes a hedging profit of EUR 186 thousand. The company has hedged
approximately half of its Russian rouble exchange rate risk.
Nurminen Cargo's net sales for the period came to EUR 16.5 (15.0) million. The
net sales of the segment met the expectations. The operating profit developed
positively as expected and was EUR 1,006 (417) thousand.
Nurminen Heavy's net sales were EUR 2.3 (2.6) million. The net sales developed
as expected and decreased slightly compared to corresponding period last year.
Operating profit was EUR 158 (314) thousand and in line with expectations. The
first quarter of 2007 was exceptionally strong.
Nurminen Care's net sales amounted to EUR 2.1 (1.2) million. Its net sales
increased as a result of the acquisitions and successful tenders in 2007. The
growth was slightly weaker than expected due to lower than expected order
volumes. Nurminen Care's operating profit was EUR 19 (74) thousand. Operating
profit developed weaker than anticipated due to clearly higher than average
fleet repair costs and start-up costs related to new business locations.
OUTLOOK
Company's outlook has remained the same since the publication of the financial
statements bulletin on 29 February 2008. The management of the company expects
the organic growth to exceed 10% of net sales, and the company's operating
margin to improve compared to 2007 carve-out financial information of Nurminen
Logistics.
On the long-term Company's goal is to increase its turnover annually by
approximately 20% on average, including acquisitions, and reach an operating
profit level of over 7%.
The economies of Russia and other CIS countries seem to continue their strong
growth. Export of oil and natural gas continues to grow, which fuels vigorous
growth of Russian imports. This will lead to growing demand both international
and internal logistics services. These factors create a good basis for the
development of Nurminen Cargo's operations, in particular.
Nurminen Heavy is looking for growth particularly in the traffic of Russia and
other CIS countries. The unit will acquire additional transport equipment in
2008.
Due to completed acquisitions and tendering processes, Nurminen Care's sales
will continue to increase.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The most significant business risks are associated with the pace of economic
growth in Russia and other CIS countries as well as potential slowdown of global
economic growth. Economies of Russia and other CIS countries are expected to
develop positively despite a possible slowdown of global economic growth, but
they have risks typical of emerging markets. However, stability created e.g. by
the result of the Russian presidential election will reduce these risks.
The company is involved in the Finnish import logistics of Russian wood as part
of Nurminen Cargo's operations. If realised, the continuous increases of Russian
export tariffs will reduce or bring to an end the import of wood from Russia and
have a negative impact on the company's financial performance. The effect will
not, however, be material to the company.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET
Company's financial position has remained stable after the transaction which was
closed on 1 January 2008.
Company's cash flow from operations was EUR -2,449 thousand mainly due to
lowering of the trade payables related to the Vuosaari project. Cash flow from
investments was EUR 7,102 thousand. The positive cash flow from investments is
caused by reverse take over. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR
1,428 thousand. At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to
EUR 9,166 thousand. Liquidity was good throughout the reporting period.
Group's interest bearing dept was EUR 38.3 million and correspondingly the net
interest bearing dept was EUR 29.1 million.
Balance sheet totalled EUR 93.7 million and equity rate 40.1 %.
As a compensation for transferring the logistics businesses of John Nurminen LLC
to Kasola Plc, Kasola Plc issued 9,999,989 new class A shares to the
shareholders of John Nurminen LLC.
As the transaction was a reverse take over as described in IFRS 3 standard, the
logistics business transferred from John Nurminen LLC was the acquirer and
Kasola Plc the acquisition target in this transaction. Acquisition cost of
Kasola Plc was determined by the last quoted price Kasola Plc A class share in
2007, which was EUR 5.10 per share. The acquisition cost was thus EUR 13,867
thousand.
The net assets of Kasola Plc at the transaction date were EUR 9,103 thousand.
Therefore the reverse take over goodwill amounted to EUR 4,764 thousand. This
goodwill will be allocated to the business segments according to their
respective fair values.
The formation of goodwill was affected by the share price that resulted from
John Nurminen LLC acquisition of Kasola Plc's shares in September 2007. The
share price remained stable from September to the end of the year. The goodwill
benefits Nurminen Logistics Plc's business mostly through it being as a public
company better positioned especially on international markets to its customers,
potential customers and other co-operation partners as a more trustworthy
partner. In addition Nurminen Logistics Plc as a public company has an access to
greater variety of different financing options to finance growth of its current
businesses. Furthermore it has a possibility to create share-based incentive
plans to keep its key persons and to attract new skilful persons.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The Group's gross capital expenditure Q1/2008 amounted to EUR 1.8 (0.5) million,
accounting for 8.4% of net sales. Depreciation totaled EUR 1.1 (1.1) million, or
5.3% of net sales. Investments were mainly made in railway wagons, IT-systems
and ambulances.
PERSONNEL
At the end of the period, the Group staff was 625 on average, compared to 578 on
31 December 2007. The number of personnel working abroad was 121. Nurminen Cargo
had 342 (353) employees, Nurminen Heavy 30 (29) and Nurminen Care 218 (159).
Management and administrative staff numbered to 35 (37).
SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS
The trading volume of Nurminen Logistics Plc's shares was 26,583 in 1 January -
31 March 2008, which represented 0.21% of the total number of shares. The value
of the turnover was EUR 140,738. The lowest price for the period was EUR 4.70
per share and the highest EUR 5.70 per share. The closing price for the period
was EUR 5.25 per share and the market value of the entire share capital EUR
66,775,000. At the end of the period, there were 279 shareholders.
The company has one series of shares.

the company.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders decided in accordance with the
proposal made by the Board of Directors that a provision shall be added to
Section 4 of the company's Articles of Association according to which three (3)
deputy members, at the most, may be elected to the company's Board of Directors.
It was further decided to amend Section 7 of the Articles of Association so that
the company shall have one (1) auditor, which is required to be an Authorized

Changes reflecting the aforesaid amendments were made to Section 10 of the
Articles of Association with respect to matters to be submitted to the Annual
