Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Ownership and legal structure

Nolato AB (publ), Swedish corporate identity number 556080-4592, is the Parent Company of the Nolato Group.

Nolato's B shares have been listed on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in the Stockholm Mid Cap segment, where they are included under the Industrials sector.

The Parent Company

Sales totalled SEK 12 million (13). The decrease in sales is a result of lower costs levied on subsidiaries. Income after financial items amounted to SEK -3 million (119). The lower result is primarily the result of lower dividends from subsidiaries.

The information contained in this interim report is the information which Nolato must make public in accordance with the Swedish Securities Market Act and/or the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act. This information was made public on 20 July 2012 at 2:30 pm.

Review report

Introduction

I have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim report) for Nolato AB (publ) as at 30 June 2012 and the six-month period ending on that date. It is the Board of Directors and the President who are responsible for the preparation and accurate presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. My responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on my review.

Focus and scope of review

I have conducted my review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is different in focus and considerably less far-reaching in focus and scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing in Sweden (RS) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable me to obtain a level of assurance that would make me aware of all significant circumstances that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the attached interim financial report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act in terms of the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act in terms of the Parent Company.
