The quantitative data contained in this report derive from the Company's customary accounting process. The report was prepared by the Management Company, presented to the Supervisory Board on 1 September 2016 and reviewed by the Statutory Auditors.
Net asset value per share1 stood at €18.77 as of 30 June 2016, after payment of a dividend of €0.56 per share, vs. €18.60 as of 31 December 2015, representing an increase of 3.9% including the dividend, and an increase of 7.3% from 31 March 2016 (€18.01).
The NAV increase resulted from the average EBITDA growth of the portfolio companies over the first half, with 12.9% in the French portfolio and 6% in the portfolio held by Apax VIII LP2 , even though it was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average valuation multiple from 10.66x to 10.10x LTM EBITDA. On the UK portfolio, this multiple increased from 11.5x to 11.6x.
The Company finalised three investments to which it had committed €102.6m last year:
1 Ordinary shareholders' portion of NAV, net of tax payable
2 Apax LLP's LTM EBITDA
3 This amount is subject to change, depending on the ultimate size of the Apax France IX fund currently being raised

As of 30 June 2016, the value of Altamir's portfolio was €747.5m. It included 71% unlisted holdings and 29% listed holdings.
As of 30 June 2016, Altamir's net cash on an IFRS basis was €-10m, vs. €38.2m as of 31 December 2015. Net cash on a statutory basis was €56m, vs. €36.9m as of 31 December 2015.
The net cash position on a statutory basis is the most relevant indicator, given that the company's borrowing capacity (10% of the net position) is based on statutory net assets. The difference between the two positions arises mainly from investments made by the Apax France IX-B fund (about €69m) and financed by the line of credit.
For the period from 1 August 2016 to 31 January 2017, the Management Company has decided to maintain Altamir's share of any new investment made by the Apax France IX fund at the upper limit of its commitment (€300m). Since the fund was still being raised, the amount recognized as of 30 June 2016 was one-third of the assumed final size of the private equity fund (€900m).
On 21 May 2016, the Company paid a dividend of €0.56 per share to limited partners holding ordinary shares.
In July, Apax Partners LLP signed agreements with a view to acquiring two new companies:
Furthermore, a number of buildups have been announced at companies in the existing portfolio, significantly transforming them:
THOM Europe has signed an agreement with a view to acquiring Stroili, Italy's largest jewellery and watches retail chain. The merger will give rise to Europe's largest jewellery retailer with around 940 sales outlets located in shopping centres and town centres, over 4,600 employees in its five store chains (Histoire d'Or, Marc Orian, TrésOr, Stroili and Franco Gioielli) and pro forma sales of around €600m. The company has also acquired Oro Vivo's subsidiary in Germany, a potential new growth market.
A shareholders' loan was granted to Vocalcom at the end of July. Altamir's share was €0.3m.
Altamir uses valuation methods based on International Private Equity Valuation (IPEV) guidelines, which in turn comply with IFRS (fair value).

Altamir (the "Company") is a French partnership limited by shares governed by Articles L.226.1 to L.226.14 of the French Commercial Code. Its principal activity is the acquisition of equity interests in other companies. The Company opted to become a "société de capital risque" (special tax status for certain private equity and other investment companies) as of financial year 1996.
The Company is domiciled in France.
Altamir presents its consolidated financial statements including the Apax France VIII-B private equity fund, in which it holds a 99.90% stake, the Apax France IX-B private equity fund, in which it holds a 99% stake, and Financière Hélios SASU, in which it holds a 100% stake.
a) Declaration of conformity
Pursuant to European Regulation 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, Altamir's half-year 2016 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS/IFRS international accounting standards as adopted by the European Union and available on its website http://ec.europa.eu/internal\_market/accounting/ias/index\_en.htm.
Altamir's half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". They do not include all information required for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015, which appear in the Registration Document filed with the French Financial Market Authority (AMF) on 1 April 2016 under number D.16-0262.
The accounting rules and methods applied to the annual financial statements are identical to those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for financial year ended 31 December 2015 inasmuch as the new IFRSs (standards, amendments, or IFRIC interpretations) that became applicable on 1 January 2016 did not have an impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements cover the period from 1 January to 30 June 2016. They were approved by the Management Company on 1 September 2016.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a fair value basis for the following items:
The methods used to measure fair value are discussed in note 6.4.
c) Operating currency and presentation currency
The consolidated (IFRS) financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Company's operating currency.
d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires management to formulate judgements and to use estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting methods and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual values may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. The impact of changes in accounting estimates is accounted for during the period of the change and in all subsequent periods affected.
More specifically, information about the principal sources of uncertainty regarding the estimates and judgements made in applying the accounting methods that have the most significant impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is described in note 6.4 on the determination of fair value.
The SPV is recognised at fair value in the Apax France IX-B private equity fund. Since the fund was still being raised, it was recognised as of 30 June 2016 on the basis of one-third of the fund, with the assumption that the final size of the private equity fund would be €900m, and with the Apax France IX-B fund obligated to commit up to €300m.
e) Key assumptions
Continuity of operations is based on key assumptions including the availability of sufficient cash flow until 31 December 2016. The Company has credit lines totaling €47m, undrawn as of 30 June 2016, €44.7m in cash equivalents and €15.8m in other financial assets that the Company considers as cash.
6.3 Determination of fair value
Altamir uses principles of fair value measurement that are in accordance with IFRS 13:
Companies whose shares are traded on an active market ("listed").
The shares of listed companies are valued at the last stock market price, without adjustment, except for those cases set out in IFRS 13.
Companies whose shares are not traded on an active market ("unlisted"), but are valued based on directly or indirectly observable data. Observable data are prepared using market data, such as information published on actual events or transactions, and reflect assumptions that market participants would use to determine the price of an asset or liability.
An adjustment to level 2 data that has a significant impact on fair value may cause a reclassification to level 3 if it makes use of unobservable data.
Companies whose shares are not traded on an active market ("unlisted"), and are valued based on unobservable data.
6.4 Significant events during the period
The Company invested €160.2m in H1 2016, which broke down as follows:
o A €0.4m follow-on investment in Altran.
o A €19m investment in Marlink;

In July Altamir received €15.4m of proceeds from the additional divestment of Gfi.

(b) Liability guarantees and other commitments
The following commitment is included in the financial statements and is presented below for information:
Altamir carries out LBO transactions via special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).
If the underlying target company is listed, the debt is guaranteed by all or part of that company's assets.
When the share price of these companies falls, and the average share price over a given period drops below a certain threshold, the SPACs become responsible for meeting collateral or margin calls. This involves putting cash in escrow in addition to the collateralised securities so as to maintain the same collateral-to-loan ratio ("collateral top-up clause"). In the event of default, banks may demand repayment of all or part of the loan.
This collateral is furnished by the shareholders of the SPACs, including Altamir, in proportion to their share in the capital. They have no impact on Altamir's revenue and NAV (listed companies are valued on the last trading day of the period), but can tie up part of its cash.
Conversely, when the share price of these companies rises, all or part of the balance in escrow is released, and the calls repaid.
Sensitivity:
drops of 10% and 20% in the average market prices of these listed securities compared with the calculation as of 30 June 2016 would trigger no collateral call for Altamir;
A commitment was given to certain managers of Thom Europe to repurchase their shares and obligations in the event of their departure. This commitment does not represent a significant risk that would require recognition of a provision.
Altamir provided a sale commitment to Financière Royer covering all of the shares of the Royer group, exercisable between 1 January 2015 and 3 January 2019.
Financière Royer provided a purchase commitment to Altamir covering all of the shares of the Royer group, exercisable between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2018.
A commitment was given to certain managers of Snacks Développement to repurchase their shares in the event of their departure.
As part of the divestment of Buy Way, Altamir provided a guarantee, capped at 15% of the sale price, i.e. €6,184,051, in order to meet any third-party claims, and to cover the sellers' filings and any tax risks.
As part of the divestment of Buy Way to Chenavari Investment Managers, two earn-outs based on insurance revenues may be received in 2016.
Securities pledged to Transatlantique Bank:
As of 30 June 2016, 797,872,341 A units in the Apax France VIII-B fund were pledged to Banque Transatlantique:
The pledged securities cover 150% of the amounts granted based on the valuation of the units in the Apax France VIII-B fund as of 23 December 2014.
Securities pledged to LCL Bank (banking pool with Société Générale, BNP and Palatine Bank):
As of 30 June 2016, 4,811,320,755 A units in the Apax France VIII-B fund were pledged to LCL:
