The Board's Report on Operations

The Ukrainian crisis and the collapse of oil prices had a negative impact on the company's net sales and operating result.

Market conditions remained challenging throughout the review period due to the tense international political situation around Russia.

In spite of the unsatisfactory development of the Finnish economy and the substantial depreciation of the Russian rouble, we were able to expand our clientele in 2014 in all of our business units. The Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit, which operates in Finland and the Baltic countries, improved both its net sales and result and in Group administration, we were able to reduce fixed costs.

Measures to improve operational efficiency under the profit improvement programme launched in 2013, as well as measures to develop sales, were continued in 2014, which included investing in the salesforce for railway logistics services and project logistics in Finland and Russia.

The company's internal reporting and segment breakdown of external reporting have been amended as stated in the stock exchange release published on 7 August 2014. The Luumäki railway terminal and the Finnish railway forwarding operations were transferred from the Railway Logistics business unit to the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit. Business operations are reported according to the new business unit structure as of the second quarter of the financial period 1 January 2014 – 31 December 2014.

In Railway Logistics, the market conditions deteriorated further towards the end of the year due to the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, the substantial decline in the price of oil, and the subsequent depreciation of the Russian rouble. The lower prices and faster delivery times of road transports have resulted in transports shifting from rail to road. The utilisation rate of the company's rolling stock was good considering the market situation, and the company was successful in winning new Russian export sector accounts for covered wagons to replace the falling Finnish volumes.

In the special transport and project market, the uncertainty in the world economy and the tightening of financial markets were reflected in demand, which remained weak throughout the review period. The volumes of international project deliveries by the engineering industry remained low in the fourth quarter. Depreciation of the Russian rouble and the crisis in Ukraine affected the demand for transports in Russia and the CIS in the second half of 2014. Competition remained intense and price levels in the market fluctuated considerably.

In the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit's markets, the negative impact of the difficult market conditions was the most significant for Finnish exports to Russia and transit logistics through Finland to Russia, the value of which declined substantially. However, Finnish exports to Europe and countries outside Europe developed favourably in 2014. Competition in the Finnish forwarding sector remained intense and profitability is weak. The decrease in total exports and imports in Finland increased price competition, but the business unit nevertheless succeeded in improving its net sales and operating result.

As of 1 January 2014, Nurminen Logistics reports on three business units: Railway Logistics, Special Transports and Projects, and Forwarding and Value Added Services. In 2013, the company reported on four business units. At the end of 2013, the Transit Logistics business unit was merged into the Forwarding and Value Added Services unit.

Net sales weakened but result improved

The net sales for the 2014 financial period amounted to EUR 52.8 million (2013: EUR 63.8 million), which represents a decrease of 17.3% compared to 2013. The reported operating result was EUR 1,328 (216) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR –174 (–1,366) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 1,502 (1,582) thousand. The operating result for the financial period was improved by exchange rate gains on the valuation of rouble-denominated trade payables resulting from the depreciation of the rouble. This had a total effect of EUR 2.7 million on the result, with no cash flow impact.

The non-recurring costs in the review period and in 2013 were related to adjustment measures, personnel arrangements and restructuring implemented under the profit improvement programme.

The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period decreased the company's financial result by EUR 1.5 million. This exchange rate loss had no cash flow impact.

The Railway Logistics business unit's net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 17,935 (2013: 29,405) thousand and the operating result was EUR 2,686 (5,276) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR –85 (–534) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 2,771 (5,808) thousand.

The net sales and operating result of Railway Logistics declined substantially during the review period compared to the previous year due to a significant decrease in transport volumes in traffic between Finland and Russia and the suspension of traffic to Ukraine. Covered wagon deliveries originating from Finland declined by 50 per cent on average compared to 2013. The situation was particularly weak in the fourth quarter. Transport volumes for other wagon types remained at a good level throughout the review period. In Russian domestic transport, covered wagon traffic volumes grew, while the volumes for other wagon types remained at the same level as in 2013.

The Special Transports and Projects business unit's net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 7,794 (8,874) thousand and the operating result was EUR 163 (–142) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 0 (–78) thousand. Therefore, the comparative operating result was EUR 163 (–64) thousand.

Net sales of the Special Transports and Projects business unit decreased from 2013 due to decreased volumes in the project business. The special transport business succeeded in increasing its market share in a tight market situation. Successful new customer acquisition compensated for the substantial decline in the volumes of a few key customers. The unit's result improved due to cost savings and successful equipment renewal. Late in the year, the company invested in developing the project and special transport business in Russia by opening a branch in Moscow and strengthening its resources in St. Petersburg. This will be reflected in the company's order books in the near future.

The net sales of the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit for the review period amounted to EUR 27,778 (26,095) thousand and the operating result was EUR –1,521 (–4,918) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR –89 (–754) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR –1,432 (–4,164) thousand.

The Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit's result has developed positively due to measures implemented by the unit to improve the efficiency of operations. The business unit's net sales increased and the operating result improved significantly compared to 2013. At the Vuosaari terminal, volumes in the pulp, paper and forest industry were at a good level throughout the year, while substantial fluctuation was seen in the volumes of the engineering and metal industries during the review period. The demand for the services of the Baltic companies was at a good level in a difficult market situation, and their results improved significantly year-on-year. Forwarding volumes in railway transport and transit logistics declined from the previous year due to the Ukrainian crisis, but in general forwarding services, the unit achieved a significant increase in market share in 2014. The operational loss of the Vuosaari logistics centre was EUR –1.2 (-2.2) million in the review period. The high rental level of the Vuosaari logistics centre has a significant negative effect on the otherwise good operating result.

The development of the key financial, personnel and share indicators for 2012–2014 is included in the Financial Statements separately.

Financial position and balance sheet

The company's cash flow from operations was EUR –448 thousand. Cash flow from investments was EUR 268 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR –1,670 thousand.

At the end of the financial period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 1,530 thousand. Liquidity remained at a satisfactory level during the review period, but tightened towards the end of the year.

The covenants of the Group's loans from financial institutions, namely the ratio of net debt to operating margin and the equity ratio, were breached as of the financial statement date of 31 December 2014.

The Group has received a commitment from its creditors confirming that the breach of the covenants will not have any consequences on the Group.

Nurminen Logistics has preliminary agreed with its financing banks on a 12-month financial arrangement that will be finalised during the next few weeks.

The Group has also launched other actions to improve its financial position.

Financing negotiations related to the company's continuing business operations will be held in the first quarter. The company's management expects the negotiations to lead to a positive outcome.

The Group's interest-bearing debt totaled EUR 21.8 million at the end of the financial period, and net interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 20.3 million.

The balance sheet total was EUR 45.3 million, and the equity ratio was 23.6% (36.3%). The most significant factor contributing to the decline in the equity ratio is the substantial depreciation of the rouble and the decrease in equity due to translation differences.

Capital expenditure

The Group's gross capital expenditure during the review period amounted to EUR 506 (429) thousand, accounting for 1.0% of net sales. Depreciation totaled EUR 2.4 (3.5) million, or 4.5% of net sales.

Group structure

Nurminen Logistics Plc's Russian subsidiaries OOO John Nurminen, St. Petersburg (100%) and ZAO Irtrans (100%) were closed down on 23 September 2014. Russian subsidiary OOO John Nurminen Terminal (100%) was closed down on 1 October 2014.

The Group comprises the parent company, Nurminen Logistics Plc, as well as the following subsidiaries and associated companies, owned directly or indirectly by the parent (ownership, %): RW Logistics Oy (100%), Nurminen Logistics Services Oy (100%), Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy (100%), Nurminen Logistics Finland Oy (100%), Nurminen Maritime Latvia SIA (51%), Pelkolan Terminaali Oy (20%), OOO Nurminen Logistics (100%), ZAO Terminal Rubesh (100%), Nurminen Logistics LLC (100%), UAB Nurminen Maritime (51%), Nurminen Maritime Eesti AS (51%), Team Lines Latvia SIA (23%) and Team Lines Estonia Oü (20.3%).

Research and development

Nurminen Logistics offers logistics services and aims to constantly develop these services both on its own and in cooperation with its partners. Due to the nature of its operations the company did not have separate research and development costs in its income statement in 2014.

Personnel

At the end of the review period, the Group had 233 employees, compared with 261 on 31 December 2013. The number of employees working abroad was 58.

Railway Logistics had 34 employees, Special Transports and Projects 21 and Forwarding and Value Added Services 161 employees. Management and administrative personnel comprised 17 employees.

Personnel expenses in 2014 totaled EUR 11.1 million (2013: EUR 14.6 million).

Nurminen Logistics announced on 25 September 2014 its plans to implement cost savings by temporarily laying off all of its Finnish personnel for a maximum of 30 days during the last quarter of 2014 and in 2015. After the negotiations were concluded, the company decided to temporarily lay off all of its Finnish personnel for two weeks during the last quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2015. The company estimates that this will achieve cost savings of approximately EUR 0.5 million. In addition, the company has the opportunity to temporarily lay off the Finnish personnel for another two weeks during 2015 so that the duration of the temporary lay-offs will be a maximum of 30 calendar days. The Management Team of Nurminen Logistics has decided to take part in the savings programme and will give up two weeks' salary during the last quarter of 2014. Correspondingly, the Board of Directors of Nurminen Logistics will give up 20% of their remuneration for 2014. This information was published in a stock exchange release on 22 October 2014.

Remuneration

Nurminen Logistics has a new key employee stock option plan. The company has a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options, since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program for the Group key employees. The purpose of the stock options is to encourage the key employees to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value. The purpose of the stock options is also to commit the key employees to the employer. Approximately 10 key employees, including the members of the Group's Management Team and other separately named management, belong to the target group of the plan. For all key employees, the prerequisite for receiving stock options is share ownership in the company. This information was published in a stock exchange release on 14 January 2014.

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 of office continues until the next Annual General Meeting after the Auditor's election.

Environmental factors

Nurminen Logistics seeks environmentally friendly and efficient transport solutions as part of the development of its services. All services provided by the company in Finland are covered by a certified environmental management system that meets the requirements of the ISO 14001:2004 standard.

Outlook

nurminen Logistics expects market conditions to remain similar to last year. A slight increase in Finnish exports appears possible, particularly through the ports of Helsinki and Kotka, while a decrease in imports also seems likely. Under the prevailing circumstances, Finnish exports to Russia are likely to remain at the same level as in the fourth quarter of 2014, with Russian domestic traffic remaining at the same level as in 2014. Changes in the rouble exchange rate have a significant impact on the company's profitability.

In the present situation, the forecast horizon is short. Nevertheless, we expect our net sales, operating result and earnings per share to improve in 2015 compared to 2014, based on our increasingly diverse clientele and improved operational efficiency.

The company's long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market, on average by over 15% per year. Going forward, over 50% of net sales will come from the growth markets of Russia and its neighbouring countries. The company's further long-term goals are to improve profitability, achieve an operating profit level of 10 per cent and return on equity of 20 per cent.

Short-term risks and uncertainties

the potential escalation of the Ukrainian crisis and the continued decline of the price of oil in 2015 would have a strong impact on Russia's economic development, which in turn would negatively affect the company's railway transport and project logistics volumes, and have a significant impact on the company's outlook. The further depreciation of the Russian rouble would worsen the company's cash flow situation and complicate financing.

The company has received a total of 32 subsequent levy decisions from the National Board of Customs' Eastern District Office in Lappeenranta, which state that the company and VG Cargo Plc, which has filed for bankruptcy, are liable to pay import taxes from the year 2009. The company's liability for the import taxes is, at a maximum, EUR 0.5 million. The company does not consider itself liable for the aforementioned import taxes and has not recorded provisions for the associated costs. If there is a case for subsequent levy, the company's view is that the levy should primarily be directed at the bankruptcy estate of VG Cargo Plc and be paid from its valid customs guarantee. The company has filed an appeal with the Helsinki District Court against the subsequent levy decisions made by the National Board of Customs.

Events after the review period

The company had no significant events after the review period.

Board of Directors' proposal for profit distribution

Based on the financial statements as at 31 December 2014, the parent company's distributable equity is 32,929,881.97 euros. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that that no dividend shall be distributed for the financial year 2014.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS

1. THE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basic information about the Group

The business idea of Nurminen Logistics is to provide and produce high-quality and customer competitiveness increasing logistics services in Russia, its' neighbouring areas and in Finland. The parent company of the Group is Nurminen Logistics Plc. The parent company is domiciled in Helsinki, Finland, and its registered address is Satamakaari 24, Helsinki.

Copies of the consolidated financial statements are available in internet at www.nurminenlogistics.com. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 19 February 2015. According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders have the right to approve or reject the financial statements in the Annual General Meeting held after the publication of the financial statements. The Annual General Meeting also has the right to make a decision to amend the financial statements.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in accordance with the IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations effective on 31 December 2014. International Financial Reporting Standards are standards and interpretations adopted for application in the European Union in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act and Ordinance and the Limited Liability Companies Act complementing the IFRSs.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro.

As from 1 January 2014 the Group has applied the following amendments to standards that did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements:

• IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and subsequent amendments (in the EU effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014): IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor when deciding whether an entity should be incorporated within the consolidated financial statements. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess.

• IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities and subsequent amendments (in the EU effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014): IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including associates, joint arrangements, structured entities and other off-balance sheet vehicles.

• Amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014): The objective of the amendments is to clarify that the scope of the disclosures of information about the recoverable amount of assets, where that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, is limited to impaired assets.

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Nurminen Logistics Plc and those of all its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are entities controlled by the parent company. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Acquired subsidiaries are accounted for by using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred, identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity and are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests and previously held equity interests in the acquiree, over the Group's share of the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date.

The consideration transferred includes any assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer, measured at fair value. Any contingent consideration related to the business combination is measured at fair value at the acquisition date and it is classified as either liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as liability is remeasured at its fair value at each balance sheet date and the subsequent changes to fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not subsequently remeasured. The consideration transferred does not include any transactions accounted for separately from the acquisition, which are treated in conjunction with the acquisition in profit or loss. All acquisition-related costs, with the exception for costs to issue debt or equity securities, are expensed in the periods in which costs are incurred and services rendered.

All intra-group transactions, receivables and liabilities as well as unrealised gains and profit distribution are eliminated in the consolidation. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item under equity.

Non-controlling interests

Any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Changes in the parent company's ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions if the parent company retains control over the subsidiary.

The result for the financial year and items recognised in other comprehensive income are allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if that results in a deficit balance, unless non-controlling interests have an exemption not to meet obligations which exceed non-controlling interests' investment. Equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately under equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Associates

Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence generally arises when the Group holds 20 to 50 per cent of a company's voting power or the Group otherwise has significant influence but not power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. Associates are consolidated using the equity method. When the Group's share of an associate's losses exceeds the carrying amount of the interest, the interest is recognised at zero value in the balance sheet and recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has committed to settle the associate's obligations. The interest in an associate includes goodwill arisen on acquisition. Unrealised gains resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The Group's share of an associate's result for the financial year is disclosed separately after financial items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign currency transactions

Items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary in the Group are determined using the currency reflecting the primary economic environment of that subsidiary ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euro which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent company and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency transactions of the Group companies are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated using the balance sheet date exchange rates and non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated using the transaction date exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the translation are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In preparation of consolidated financial statements income and expenses for the income statements and for the statements of comprehensive income of those foreign Group companies, whose functional currency is not euro, are translated into euro by using the average exchange rate for the financial year and the balance sheets are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Translation differences arising from such translation are recognised in equity. Retranslating the result and the total comprehensive income for the financial year using different exchange rates for the statement of comprehensive income and for the balance sheet causes a translation difference recognized in Group's equity, the change in this translation difference is recognized under other comprehensive income. Respectively, foreign currency differences arising from the elimination of the costs of foreign subsidiaries, and from the retranslation of post-combination equity components in subsequent periods, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or is otherwise disposed of, in part or in full, the accumulated foreign currency differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale for the disposed part.

The intra-group loan denominated in Russian Rouble has been accounted for as an internal loan. The foreign currency differences arisen from this loan are recognized in financial income and expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Treatment of the loan as an net investment has ended in May 2013.

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes all expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the carrying amount of the asset. Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of the item only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are the following:

Buildings 30–40 years
Rolling stock
Wheels 7 years
Bogie 15 years
Other parts of the wagon 20–25 years
Transport equipment 5–8 years
Machinery and equipment 3–10 years
IT equipment 3 years

The cost of the rolling stock is allocated separately to wheels, bogie and other parts of the wagon (=component depreciation).

Land is not depreciated. Recognition of depreciation on an item of property, plant and equipment is discontinued when the item is classified as held for sale.

Useful lives and residual values are reviewed at every balance sheet date. Changes in the future economic benefits to be received from the items of property, plant and equipment are accounted for by adjusting the useful lives and residual values of the items in question. Gains and losses arising from sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in other operating income or in other operating expenses.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on business combinations is recognized as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the value of any previously held equity interest over the fair value of the acquired net assets.

Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested at least annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at historical cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed in the financial year in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when certain criteria are met. Due to the nature of its operations the company did not have separate research and development costs in its income statement in 2014 and 2013.

Other intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognised in the balance sheet only if its cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.

An intangible asset is measured at historical cost less amortisation and any impairment losses. Group's intangible assets include mainly IT software which is amortised on a straight-line basis over 3 to 5 years.

Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

The Group assesses, at every balance sheet date, if there are any indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets. In case such indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

As to goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at least annually irrespective of whether indications of impairment exist. Impairment is assessed at a cash-generating unit level, i.e. at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable, mainly independent cash flows. In impairment testing of goodwill the recoverable amount is based on value in use, i.e. on the estimated discounted future net cash flows.

At the recognition of the impairment loss the asset's useful life is re-estimated. The recognised impairment loss is reversed if the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount have changed. The reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset. An impairment loss on goodwill is never reversed.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

The financial assets of Nurminen Logistics are classified to the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. The classification is made based on their purpose of use upon initial recognition. The basis of classification is reassessed at each reporting date. For financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amounts. Purchases and sales of financial instruments are accounted for at settlement date. Fair values of financial instruments are determined by discounting their cash flows.

Financial assets are derecognised when the Group loses the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset or it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership outside the Group.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group estimates whether there is objective evidence on impairment of items other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is assumed to be impaired if there is objective evidence on impairment and the effect on the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the financial assets can be reliably measured. Objective evidence on impairment may be e.g. a significant deterioration in the counterparty's results or a contract breach by the debtor. An impairment loss is recognised immediately either in other operating expenses or in financial items, depending on the item in question.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category includes those derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and they are classified as held-for-trading instruments. The financial assets in this category are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at their fair values. Gains and losses arising from fair value adjustments, both unrealised and realised, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in active markets. Loans and receivables arise when the Group gives out a loan or delivers goods or services directly to a debtor. They are included in Trade and other receivables in the balance sheet, either in current or non-current items, based on their nature.

Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables are included in non-current assets, unless their maturity is less than 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank accounts as well as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date.

Financial liabilities

The financial liabilities of Nurminen Logistics are classified to the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost (other financial liabilities). The former category includes derivatives entered into by the Group, to which hedge accounting is not applied and that are not financial guarantee contracts. They are classified as held-for-trading instruments. The financial liabilities in this category are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at their fair values. Gains and losses arising from derivatives' fair value changes, both unrealised and realised, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Fair values are determined by discounting the instruments' cash flows.

Other financial liabilities, which mainly consist of Group's finance lease liabilities, are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount. Subsequently other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

A financial liability is classified as current if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. A financial liability (or part of the liability) is not derecognised until the liability has ceased to exist, that is, when the obligation identified in a contract has been fulfilled or cancelled or is no longer effective.

Revenue recognition principles

Revenue from the sale of services is recognised when the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably. Revenue from transports by road is recognised at the point when goods are loaded to be transported. Revenues from other business operations are recognised when the transportation crosses the border. Revenue from short-term warehousing services is recognised at the point when goods stored in the Group's premises are forwarded. Revenue from long-term warehousing is accounted for as rental income and it is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of warehousing.

Employee benefits

Pension arrangements

The pension arrangements of Nurminen Logistics have been classified as defined contribution plans. Payments to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period to which they relate. In defined contribution plans the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts in case the separate entity receiving the contributions fails to pay out the pension benefits.

Share-based payments

Such arrangements in which the Group has granted its employees a right to a future cash payment by granting the employees a right to shares that are redeemable, either at the Group's or an employee's demand, are accounted for as cash-settled share-based payments. The liability arising from such arrangement is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and at the settlement date and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the changes occur. The benefits granted in this arrangement are measured at fair value at their grant date and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Income taxes

The income tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income comprises the current tax, adjustments to previous periods' taxes as well as changes in deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to other comprehensive income or equity, while income taxes are recognised within the respective items. Current tax is calculated based on taxable income using tax rates enacted in each country.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated for temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities used for taxation purposes and the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes under IFRSs. The principal temporary differences arise from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and depreciation related to component accounting. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate that has been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position in full.

Leases

Leases, in which the Group is a lessee, are classified as finance leases if the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. Leases are classified at the inception of the lease. The leased items are recognised at the lower of fair value of the leased asset and the present value of minimum lease payments as an item of property, plant and equipment and as a financial liability. The item of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term. Payable lease rentals are divided into interest expense recognised in profit or loss and reduction of the financial liability.

Leases are classified as operating leases if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership have not been substantially transferred. Lease rentals payable under operating leases are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Sale and leaseback

If a sale and leaseback arrangement results in a finance lease, the gain on the sale of the asset leased back is recognised as a liability and amortised over the lease term. If a sale and leaseback arrangement results in an operating lease and the sale is established at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately.

Operating profit

The operating profit is the total of sales and other operating income from which expenses for material and services, employee benefits and other operating expenses as well as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on non-current assets are subtracted.

Foreign currency differences arising from working capital items are included in the operating result, whereas foreign currency differences from financial assets and financial liabilities are included in financial income and expenses.

Accounting policies requiring management's judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments in the application of the accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions made affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as well as the income and expenses in the income statement.

In business combinations fair values of the items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are estimated and the depreciation and amortisation periods for the assets are determined. The determination of fair value of intangible assets is based on estimates about future cash flows to be generated by these assets.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units are determined based on value in use. The preparation of these calculations requires use of estimates. In calculation of value in use estimates are made about future cash flows and discount rate to be used. Estimates are based on budgets and forecasts, which contain some degree of uncertainty.

Due to uncertainty regarding use of confirmed losses the Group has not recorded deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are reviewed annually as to whether any indications exist that these assets might be impaired. If indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

Items of property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are depreciated and amortised over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives are reviewed regularly.

Estimates made in preparing the financial statements are based on the management's best view and the information available at the balance sheet date. Estimates and assumptions are based on past experience and other factors that are considered the best view in measuring such assets and liabilities, whose values cannot be derived from other sources. The estimates concerning the future are based on assumptions that are regarded as the most probable at the balance sheet date relating to the expected development of the financial environment of Nurminen Logistics and assumptions about the development of sales and cost level. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed continuously. The realisation of estimates and assumptions and the changes in underlying factors are reviewed regularly by using both external and internal sources of information. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only the period in question. If the revision to accounting estimate affects both the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods the revision is recognised respectively in the period in question and in future periods.

Application of new and revised IFRS standards

The IASB has published the following new or revised standards and interpretations that the Group has not yet applied. The Group will adopt these standards as of the effective date of each of the standards, or if the effective date is not the first day of the financial year, as of the beginning of the next financial year following the effective date. These standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

* = not yet endorsed for use by the European Union as of 31 December 2014.

• Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Disclosure Initiative* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016). The amendments are designed to encourage companies to apply judgement in determining what information to disclose in the financial statements. For example, the amendments clarify the application of the materiality concept and judgement when determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures.

• Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments clarify IAS 16 and IAS 38 that revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets.

• Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. A full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.

• Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016): The amendments add new guidance to IFRS 11 on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business, i.e. business combination accounting is required to be applied.

• New IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017): IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. Under IFRS 15 an entity shall recognise revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

• New IFRS 9 Financial Instruments* (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018): IFRS 9 replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements.

14. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and if indications of impairment exist. The recoverable amount in the impairment testing calculations is determined based on value in use.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the assets allocated to a cash-generating unit, including goodwill, is higher than the unit's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the unit.

Goodwill is allocated for cash generating units (CGUs) for impairment testing. The CGUs are the three business units Nurminen Logistics Plc Group reports starting from 1.1.2014: Railway Logistics, Special Transports and Projects, and Forwarding and Value Added Services. The Forwarding and Value Added Services and Transit Logistics were merged into one segment at 1.1.2014. These business units represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is allocated to business units based on their fair values.

Indications of possible impairment of assets are reviewed regularly, based on indicators from the Group's internal and external information sources. Such indicators may be, for example, unexpected discrepancies in key assumptions used in the calculations discovered in Group reporting. In addition, indicators may also be changes in competition or other conditions prevailing in the market or new authority regulations affecting different industries or matters concerning service concession. During the years 2014 and 2013 there have not been any indicators that would have led to impairment testing of assets.

The impairment testing calculations are based on, by management approved budgets for 2015 and estimates concerning the future cash flows, covering a five-year period. The estimated cash flows beyond the five-year period (terminal value) are determined by using long-term growth estimates.

The most important assumptions in the calculations are sales growth expectations, cost development, discount rate, and terminal value. The increase of sales is expected to be generated from Russia and its neighbouring areas. The market demand in Finland is expected to develop moderately. The Group's medium-term assumptions are uniform with external professionals' estimates. The company's long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market. The volume growth is boosted by the rolling stock and special transport equipment acquired by the Group as well as by the investments in the local terminals in central areas.

The cash flow is estimated to develop according to the Group's medium-term growth and profitability expectations in the next five years. The terminal value is based on a cash flow growth of 2 % in all CGUs. The assumptions are based on the positive development in Russia and its neighbouring areas which are essential for the Group as well as carried out efficiency improving operations.

The discount rate is defined separately for every CGU. It is based on their pre-tax weighted average cost of capital. The discount rates before taxes for the CGUs are the following: Forwarding and Value Added Services 9.1 %, Railway Logistics 13.3 % and Special Transports and Projects 9.0 %. In determining the discount rate the market risks and capital intensiveness relating to these businesses have been taken into account. The cost of equity that affects to the discount rate is in line with the Group's long term objectives of return on equity. The discount rates for the CGUs were the following in 2013:Forwarding and Value Added Services 9.1 %, Railway Logistics 13.2 % and Special Transports and Projects 9.0 %.

In impairment testing the essential assumptions have been tested. The management considers that there are no grounds for an impairment loss. In Forwarding and Value Added Services an increase of 4.3 percentage points in the discount rate would not lead to recognition of an impairment loss when it comes to the calculations for the year 2014. If the terminal value growth was 2 percentage points lower ( beeing 0 %), the increase in the discount rate could be 3.0 % percentage points respectively. The cash flow could be 41 % lower in every year covered in calculations.

In Railway Logistics an increase of 4.0 percentage points in the discount rate would not lead to recognition of an impairment loss when it comes to the calculations for the year 2014. If the terminal value growth was 2 percentage points lower (beeing 0 %), the increase in the discount rate could be 2,8 % percentage points respectively. The cash flow could be 71 % lower in every year covered in calculations. In Special Transports and Projects even bigger even bigger changes are possible without recognition of an impairment loss.

24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The objective of the Group's risk management is to minimise the adverse effects by the changes in financial markets on the Group's result and equity. The policy for managing financial risks is based on the main principles of finance approved by the Board of Directors. The finance department is responsible for the daily risk management within the limits set by the Board of Directors.

Currency risk

Currency risk arises from foreign currency imports and exports, from the financing of foreign subsidiaries and from translation of subsidiaries' equity in foreign currency.

The Group manages the currency risk inherent in cash flows by keeping foreign currency income and expense cash flows in the same currency, and by matching them simultaneously to the extent possible. If matching is not possible, a part of an open position may be hedged.

Foreign currency transaction risk position can be hedged if the counter value of currency exceeds EUR 500 000. Positions greater than EUR 2 million are hedged 50-110 %. Foreign currency risk of the net translation exposure can be hedged 25-75 %. Instruments used in hedging include forward contracts and plain vanilla options. Exotic options are forbidden. The hedge ratio is considered based on the current economic trends and the predicted currency prospects as well as the functionality of each currency's hedge market. In extraordinary hedging market circumstances the company may deviate from guidelines above.

Currency amounts in bank accounts should be kept as small as possible without disturbing payment transactions. The amount of cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies may not exceed one per cent of the total of the balance sheet.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risks to the Group derive mainly through interest-bearing debts. The purpose of the interest rate risk management is to diminish the effect of market interest rate movements on cash flows from financing. Hedging instruments may include forward rate agreements and interest rate futures, interest rate swaps and interest collar agreements.

Liquidity risk

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure sufficient financing in all situations. Funds required for about two weeks' payment transactions will be reserved as a buffer for liquidity of payment transactions. The Group aims to guarantee the availability and flexibility of financing through credit limits and by using a number of financial institutions and financing methods in raising finance. Liquidity remained at a satisfactory level during the review period, but tightened towards the end of the year. The covenants of the Group's loans from financial institutions, namely the ratio of net debt to operating margin and the equity ratio, were breached as of the financial statement date of 31 December 2014. The Group has received a commitment from its creditors confirming that the breach of the covenants will not have any consequences on the Group. Financing negotiations related to the company's continuing business operations will be held in the first quarter. The company's management expects the negotiations to lead to a positive outcome. The company has an credit limit agreement, from which approximately EUR 0,6 million was not in use at 31 December 2014 (EUR 1,7 million in 2013).

Nurminen Logistics has preliminary agreed with its financing banks on a 12-month financial arrangement that will be finalised during the next few weeks. The Group has also launched other actions to improve its financial position.

Credit risk

The objective of credit risk management is to minimise losses which arise from other party neglecting their obligations. The Group manages the counterparty risk based on the customer credit rating and engages in active debt collection, when necessary.

The Group has not applied hedge accounting during 2014 and 2013.

Notes to the Parent Company's Financial Statements

Accounting principles for the parent company's financial statements

The financial statements of Nurminen Logistic Plc are prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Measurement of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are carried at cost less the planned depreciation / amortisation.

They are depreciated / amortised over their estimated useful lives, which are the following:

  • Intangible assets 3–5 vuotta
  • Goodwill 5–10 vuotta • Other capitalised long-term expenditure 5–10 vuotta
  • Machinery and equipment 3–10 vuotta

Measurement of receivables

Receivables are measured at the lower of nominal and estimated probable value.

Pensions

Pension costs are presented in accordance with national legislation in each country. The pension security of the Finnish personnel has been arranged through external pension insurance companies.

Foreign currency items

Foreign currency receivables and liabilities are translated into euro at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. The exchange rate differences arising from forward contracts entered into for hedging purposes have been adjusted against the exchange rate differences arisen from the corresponding hedged items.

Leases

Lease payments are accounted for as rental costs. Lease payments due in the future years under the agreements are presented under contingencies and commitments.

Auditor's Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Nurminen Logistics Plc

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the administration of Nurminen Logistics Plc for the year ended 31 December, 2014. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control of the company's accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the report of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the requirements of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the Managing Director are guilty of an act or negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of financial statements and report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

Opinion on the company's financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors

In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.
