CapMan is one of the leading alternative asset managers in the Nordic countries and manages Nordic funds with approximately €3.9 billion in total capital. CapMan has four investment areas (CapMan Buyout, CapMan Technology, CapMan Life Science and CapMan Real Estate), and each of them has a dedicated team and funds. Altogether CapMan employs 110 people in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. CapMan was established in 1989 and its B shares are listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange since 2001.

The Annual Report is divided into three sections. The fi rst section presents CapMan Plc as an investment and the funds managed by CapMan. The second section describes the investment activities of the funds. The third section comprises the Group's corporate governance and the Report of the Board of Directors and Financial Statements for 2007.

The illustrations used in the Annual Report are based on images selected from photo albums of CapMan's personnel. The images tell of employees' relationship to life and free time. The ambition, energy and know-how of our people are the motor, which drives CapMan's business and the success of our investment targets.

CEO's review

"My third year as CEO of CapMan Plc has come to a close. The key goals that I targeted for the Group have been steady profit development, expansion of the business portfolio and building of a strong organisation that is independent of individual people. We have achieved significant progress in all of these objectives; however we have yet to exploit our full potential."

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 2 20.2.2008 11:47:55

CONTINUED GROWTH OF THE ALTERNATIVE ASSET CLASS

The outlook for our industry provides a solid foundation to further growth. The alternative asset class has continued to attract more investor attention in 2007 and, in addition to larger institutions, also smaller investors have discovered the asset class. The growth has been particularly strong as far as private equity funds are concerned. Private equity funds delivered market-beating returns to investors in comparison to the stock markets also in 2007.

The increasing allocations by investors in different alternative asset products creates growth opportunities for CapMan as well. CapMan's investor base has broadened from the Nordic countries throughout Europe and to the US during the last few years. I believe that we will be able to further capitalise on CapMan's capabilities as an alternative assets manager also with international investors in the years ahead.

STRONG RESULT IN 2007 HIGHLIGHTS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

I am pleased to report that the Group's earnings per share climbed to a new level in 2007 with year-onyear improvement over 50 per cent, an achievement of which I am proud. The Group has solid resources for growth also in coming years. Shareholders should

"CapMan has delivered an exceptional result in 2007 and the Group has strong prerequisites for growth in the years ahead."

anyway bear in mind that, due to our earnings model, the Group's result should be examined over a longer time frame than quarterly.

The majority of the Group's result for 2007 has arisen from the realisation of CapMan Real Estate I fund's property portfolio. Indeed our real estate investment business has grown, both in terms of assets under management and profi t impact, to the level of the traditional private equity investment. The growth of the entire real estate business is founded on a signifi cant change in real estate investing as pension funds transfer their investments from balance sheet to fund investments. Our most recent example of real estate investment opportunities was the establishment of CapMan's €835 million hotel fund in January 2008.

A STEP FORWARD

As we actively review new investment areas by geography and asset class, the highest priorities on our list are international expansion to address the signifi cant opportunity within the growing Russian market and the introduction of CapMan's value creation concepts in publicly quoted markets. True institutional private equity is still in the early stages in Russia. Many investors are interested in growing their investments in Russia, if an established player such as CapMan is available. Russia offers attractive growth potential for portfolio companies because a large number of sectors are growing at greater than ten per cent annually.

Today our funds invest in unquoted companies. However, the publicly quoted markets offer lots of promising targets in which the private equity investor's skill base, network and resources would be welcome in building real value from the perspective of all owners. Therefore we are studying the possibility to establish our own team to make investments in quoted companies in the Nordic countries.

To better develop the Group's business for the longer term, we restructured our organisation in 2007 and established three service teams – Investor Services, Internal Services and Human Resources. The service teams support our partnership style investment teams and provide fi rst-rate reporting, performance monitoring and administrative services for our stakeholders.

VALUATIONS HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL LEVELS

The latter half of 2007 was labelled by widening instability in fi nancial markets. The market turbulence, however, has not had substantial impact on the availability of loan fi nancing in CapMan's market segment of middle market buyout transactions and real estate investments made with moderate debt

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 3 20.2.2008 11:47:58

structures. There was nevertheless a moderation of enterprise and property valuation levels towards the end of the year. According to our understanding the market has returned to normal levels in terms of pricing and debt ratios following a couple of highly aggressive and active years, which is favourable for new investments. We expect that exit markets will remain good regardless of the nervousness, albeit that a widening of fi nancial instability may be refl ected in realisations by the funds by postponing them.

SUSTAINABLE VALUE CREATION FOR THE LONG-TERM

Active ownership is the cornerstone in each of our existing and new business areas. At the end of 2007 our portfolio comprised 55 investee companies with an aggregate turnover of €3.4 billion and aggregate personnel of over 20,000 as well as 16 real estate assets with a gross lettable area of 108,600 m2 . We strive to engage a good and growth-orientated spirit in the investments we back. The management teams of our portfolio companies have responsibility for the implementation of operative solutions at the business level, and sustainable value creation is underpinned together with a dedicated personnel. In our real estate assets we employ the best real estate development practices and tailor services to the needs of users for the long-term.

I would like to thank our fund investors for their confi dence in CapMan as an asset manager, the management teams and employees of our portfolio companies, who have enabled the strong development of our investments, and our shareholders and personnel for their commitment to our shared objectives.

CapMan as an Investment

Strategy and objectives

The cornerstones of CapMan's growth strategy are a wide range of fund products that meet fund investors' growing demand for the alternative asset class, Nordic approach and effective use of balance sheet to grow shareholder value.

GROWTH IS BASED ON A WIDE PRODUCT RANGE AND NORDIC APPROACH

CapMan's business has expanded strongly throughout the entire history of the Company. Growth has been founded both on introduction of new products and on expansion of operations from Finland to other Nordic countries in the 2000s. Today CapMan's product portfolio encompasses buyout, mezzanine, technology, life science and real estate funds. Of the investment teams CapMan Buyout, CapMan Technology and CapMan Life Science are responsible for funds making investments in portfolio companies in the Nordic countries and together they form their own business area CapMan Private Equity. The other business area, CapMan Real Estate, is responsible for the management of private equity funds making real estate investments.

CapMan expanded its operations into Denmark and Sweden via acquisitions in 2001 and 2002 and established an offi ce in Oslo in 2004. A wide range of fund products, strong local presence in all Nordic countries and well-known brand clearly distinguish CapMan from other private equity investors in the market, and bring synergies at the fund investor interface in fundraising and reporting functions as well as in investment activities.

The third cornerstone of CapMan's growth strategy is effective use of the balance sheet. CapMan is a substantial investor in the funds managed by the Group, investing 5 to 10 per cent of the total capital in new equity funds investing in portfolio companies. About half of own fund investments are fi nanced with debt to improve capital effi ciency of the balance sheet and return on equity.

STRATEGY FOUNDED ON ACTIVE OWNERSHIP

CapMan's strategy is to exploit growth opportunities in the alternative asset class. In addition to private equity and real estate funds the alternative asset class includes, among others, infrastructure funds, forestry funds and active public market funds. In 2007

A wide range of fund products and local presence in all Nordic countries distinguish CapMan from other players in the industry.

CapMan began to explore opportunities to expand into some of these areas and geographically into Russia in particular. The areas under investigation share the potential to utilise CapMan's existing management and investment expertise and to create value in the investment targets through active ownership.

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 6 20.2.2008 11:48:07

FUTURE SUCCESS FACTORS

The Group's success in future will continue to be founded on growth, high quality service, dedicated and professional staff and a leading position as an alternative asset manager in the Nordic countries. CapMan strives to offer a comprehensive product range and fi rst-class service for its fund investors, and to sustain the excellent track record of the investment teams.

NEW ORGANISATION SUPPORTS GROWTH

In October 2007 CapMan restructured its organisation and established teams specialising in investor services and internal services alongside investment teams to meet the Group's growth strategy. At the same time, the Group's human resources management was separated into its own team.

The new service teams complement the existing partnership model of the investment teams. Specialised processes related to fundraising, reporting, portfolio company performance monitoring and the Group's internal operations guarantee high quality service for fund investors and other stakeholders, and enable investment professionals to fully concentrate their efforts on investment activities and value creation in the portfolio.

Organisation

CapMan's organisation comprises four investment teams that operate under a partnership model. Investment teams and other stakeholders are served by three service teams, which look after the Group's fundraising, fund administration, Group and portfolio company performance monitoring, investor relations, reporting, communications, fi nancial administration, HR management and IT and offi ce services.

Each investment area has dedicated funds and fund-specifi c Investment Committees comprising Senior Partners, Partners and the CEO. Investment Committees make investment

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 8 20.2.2008 11:48:08

proposals and presentations on new investments, follow-on investments and realisations of investments to the funds' Advisory Boards.

* CapMan Real Estate reports to Deputy CEO Olli Liitola.

CapMan as an investment

CapMan Plc's B share is listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki since April 2001, and CapMan is one of the few listed alternative asset managers in Europe.

PREREQUISITES FOR BUSINESS

A prerequisite for CapMan's business is successful fundraising. The precondition for fundraising is that returns on capital invested fulfi l the fund investors' return targets. Continuity of operations in the longterm depends on successful investment activities, which are related to strong deal fl ow, careful selection of investment targets, successful value creation in the investment targets and realisation of value increase through exit.

The success of fundraising and investment activities depends largely on the expertise of employees responsible for these areas as well as the high quality of reporting, control and administrative processes. Successful investments and exits build fund investors' confi dence in CapMan, which facilitates fundraising for new funds. A loyal investor base is one of CapMan's strengths. Fundraising and fund investors are described in more detail on pages 18, 22 and 23.

LONG-TERM BUSINESS

CapMan funds typically have a 10-year life cycle and most investment targets are held for 4 to 6 years. The risk in funds is mitigated by a diversifi ed investment portfolio, and individual investments are typically less than 15 per cent of a fund's total size. CapMan's objective is to invest steadily across economic cycles. The Group aims at exploiting possible pricing differences between the Nordic countries through its wide deal fl ow, and to make investments at moderate pricing levels.

The long-term nature of funds and investment activities also impacts on CapMan Plc's fi nancial development. More carried interest is likely to be generated during good than poor exit years. Different sources of income and funds in different stages of their life cycles even out fl uctuations in CapMan's income.

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 9 20.2.2008 11:48:09

MAIN SOURCES OF INCOME

CapMan Plc's income derives principally from management fees from the funds, carried interest from funds generating carried interest and returns on direct fund investments made from CapMan Plc's own balance sheet. In addition, CapMan receives income from real estate consulting operations and a share of the result of associated companies, among other income.

HOW TO ANALYSE CAPMAN

Of CapMan's income components, management fees can be forecast in the short-term with relative accuracy, while the timing of carried interest and returns on fund investments is more sporadic. When examining carried interest income the overall development of fund portfolios should be monitored instead of individual portfolio companies. Each fund typically contains 10 to 15 investments and therefore a fund's success is not dependent on the success or failure of an individual investment. When examining the funds' portfolios, attention should be paid especially to the ratio of paid-in capital and distributed cash fl ow to investors as well as the current portfolio at fair value. This information is reported quarterly in CapMan Plc's fi nancial reporting.

Changes in fair value of fund investments from CapMan's own balance sheet should also be monitored at the fund level. As the number of investments made from CapMan's balance sheet grows, valuation changes of an individual investment will have more rapid impact on CapMan's result, especially if CapMan Plc is a substantial investor in the fund in question. Investments in portfolio companies are valued in accordance with EVCA guidelines each quarter in connection with CapMan Plc's quarterly reporting.

Why to invest in CapMan's share?

  • An opportunity to participate in the value creation of unlisted Nordic companies and properties through CapMan's share.
  • CapMan has an attractive earnings model – multiple sources of income
    • the objective is that management fees and income from real estate consulting cover operating expenses
    • profi tability results from development of the funds' entire portfolios and is not sensitive to the success or failure of individual investments
  • signifi cant earnings potential in the funds yet to generate carry and the fund investments made from CapMan's own balance sheet.
  • Targeted dividend payout ratio is over 50 per cent.
  • CapMan is one of the few listed private equity fund management companies.
  • CapMan is a growth company in a growing industry.

When should individual investments be examined?

  • When a fund has begun to generate carry, it is possible to evaluate the fair value of the fund's portfolio by assessing individual targets and in this way to forecast
  • When CapMan is a substantial investor in a fund, a change in the fair value of an investment will be refl ected in CapMan Plc Group's result as a change in the fair value of own investments.

the carried interest potential of individual investments.

MAIN SOURCES OF INCOME

Management fees Carried interest Returns on direct fund investments

Management fees paid by the funds are typically determined during the investment period by the original fund size and thereafter on the basis of the remaining portfolio at acquisition cost. Annual management fees are typically 1.5–2.5 per cent p.a. of the funds' total capital for equity funds and 1.25–1.5 per cent p.a for mezzanine funds. Real estate funds typically have lower management fees than equity and mezzanine funds. CapMan's objective is that management fees and income from real estate consulting cover the Group's operating expenses.

As a fund management company, CapMan receives carried interest after the fund has returned a preferential return (usually 7–8 per cent p.a.) to investors. CapMan's share of carried interest (a fund's cash fl ow through exits from its investee targets) is typically 20–25 per cent for funds established before 2004. A share of carried interest received from funds established in 2004 and thereafter is distributed to the members of the investment team responsible for the fund's investment activities, and consequently CapMan's share of carried interest is typically 10–15 per cent for these funds.

There may be volatile fl uctuations in carried interest income in different years according to whether exits are made by funds generating carry. At the end of 2007 the funds generating carry were Finnventure II, III and V, Finnmezzanine II B, CapMan Real Estate I and the Fenno Program.

CapMan Plc has been a substantial investor in the funds managed by the Group since 2002.

The Group's objective is to invest 5–10 per cent of total capital in equity funds investing directly in portfolio companies. Investments from own balance sheet improve the Company's return on equity and even out income fl uctuations. The profi t impact of these investments was already substantial in 2007 and is expected to grow further in future when the amount of invested capital increases.

Substantial commitments have been made in CapMan Buyout VIII, CapMan Technology 2007, CapMan Equity VII, CapMan Mezzanine IV, CapMan Life Science IV, Swedestart Tech and Access Capital Fund II funds to date.

Investor services

Investor services acts as an interface between clients and investment teams with responsibility for fundraising, product development, fund administration, Group and portfolio company performance monitoring, investor relations and communications.

CUSTOMER DEMAND AND GROWTH POTENTIAL DRIVE NEW PRODUCTS

Successful fundraising is fundamental for the continuation of CapMan's business. CapMan's dedicated fundraising and development team works in close cooperation with Group management and investment teams. The demand by institutional investors and related market and growth potential play a key role in studies for new products. Developing of fund structures is also a component of product development, examples of which include partly securitised mezzanine and private equity real estate funds introduced by CapMan in 2004 and 2005.

CapMan's objective is to develop new types of fund products that meet investors' needs. Institutional investors continued to show an increasing interest towards different alternative asset products in 2007. During the past year CapMan has studied the opportunities to establish, among others, a forestry fund, infrastructure fund, public markets fund or a fund operating in Russia. The Group already expanded its operations within the alternative asset class in 2005 with the establishment of its fi rst private equity real estate fund.

CapMan's fundraising team aims also at internationalising the existing fund investor base. The team continued to actively meet new potential international investors in 2007, thus laying a solid foundation for the raising of future funds.

INVESTORS' ALLOCATIONS CONTINUE TO GROW

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 18 20.2.2008 11:48:10

Private equity has consolidated its position as a part of institutional investors' investment strategy in recent years. On a global level the major institutions allocate some seven per cent of their investment assets in private equity and in the Nordic countries the corresponding fi gure is around only two per cent. Future growth in allocations by European and Nordic institutions is forecasted and more investors are expected to join the alternative asset class.

Industry growth forecasts are based on the increasing degree of investor interest shown towards the alternative asset class, as institutions seek higherperforming investments to complement their traditional share and loan portfolios. The growing interest towards private equity has been evident worldwide as strong growth in commitments into new

private equity funds. In 2006 a record €112 billion was raised into new private equity funds in Europe, of which a considerable amount was committed by pension funds and banks. Public administrations, funds of funds and insurance companies are also substantial investors in private equity funds.

The preliminary statistics for 2007 support a continuation of the buoyant growth trend in private equity. Institutions continue to make the largest allocations to buyout funds in particular and most investors have predicted that they will increase their European buyout allocations. Meanwhile, investor interest in European venture products is expected to remain limited also in future.

As for other products within the alternative asset class, real estate investments continue to grow favourably. Growth in real estate investment allocations is expected via funds making indirect real estate investments in particular.

A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING YEAR

In 2007 CapMan established the new CapMan Technology 2007 fund and concluded fundraising for the CapMan Life Science IV and CapMan RE II funds

19

established in 2006. In spite of the challenging market situation for technology funds in general, fundraising for CapMan Technology 2007 fund was a success and the fund held a fi nal close at €142.3 million in January 2008. CapMan RE II reached an investment capacity of €600 million and CapMan Life Science IV was closed at €54 million.

Fundraising for CapMan Private Access IV fund was also started at the end of 2007. All in all capital under management increased approx. 18 per cent in 2007.

FIRST-CLASS SERVICE AS A STARTING POINT

Investor Services' Fund Administration team serves in particular CapMan's fund investors, with services including compliance monitoring of fund contracts, handling of investment-related daily monetary transactions and preparation of fund reports for the investor base. Each fund has nominated a fund professional to guarantee high quality, effi cient customer service.

CapMan's Legal Counsel and Compliance team is a part of Fund Administration and works in partnership with the Fundraising and Development team in the planning and preparation of new funds and fund agreements. In addition to legal matters related to fund administration and investment activities, the team has responsibility for CapMan Plc's legal affairs and corporate governance.

EFFECTIVE MONITORING SERVES ALL TEAMS

The Performance Monitoring team has responsibility for monitoring the fi nancial performance of portfolio companies and supports the heads of investment teams in portfolio company valuation based on EVCA guidelines. Portfolio valuation also refl ects on CapMan Plc's result through fair value changes of CapMan's own fund investments. In addition to monitoring portfolio company development, the Performance Monitoring team analyses the funds' cash fl ows and carried interest potential from the perspective of CapMan Plc's shareholders.

OPERATION MODEL OF CAPMAN FUNDS

A private equity fund has a limited and predetermined life cycle, usually 10 years. The funds make investments in selected unquoted portfolio companies or properties mainly during the fund's fi rst 3 to 4 years of operation. One fund may comprise several parallel funds, which have different investment focus or portfolios. A dedicated team is responsible for the investment activities in each of CapMan's investment areas.

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 23 20.2.2008 11:48:34

CapMan has an active role in the development of investment targets. The aim is to create prerequisites for signifi cant value creation of the portfolio companies and real estate assets. The ownership period is on average 4 to 6 years, after which CapMan exits from the target for example through an initial public offering or trade sale. Following an exit, the invested capital and yield are returned to the private equity fund to be distributed to the fund's limited partners and general partner according to the agreed profi t distribution policy. The funds' limited partnership structure enables investors to receive interest, dividends and capital gains throughout the fi nancial year as the fund exits from its portfolio companies and properties.

The fund's management company or general partner receives an annual management fee for the fund's entire period of operations that is based on the amount of capital under management. In addition, the management company receives carried interest after the limited partners have regained their investment in addition to a preferential annual return, usually 7 to 8 per cent. CapMan's share of carried interest is typically 20 to 25 per cent for funds established prior to 2004 and 10 to 15 per cent for funds established in 2004 and thereafter. More information on CapMan's share of the funds' carried interest is presented on page 24.

CapMan assures the continuity of business by establishing new funds as the previous funds become fully invested.

  • * Total capital committed by investors. In CapMan's statistics the terms 'capital under management' and 'fund size' refer to the gross capital commitment in the fund.
  • ** Total capital paid into the fund by investors.
  • *** Remaining commitment into the fund by investors. **** The funds' investments in portfolio companies are valued to fair value in accordance with the guidelines of the European Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (EVCA) and investments in real estate assets are valued in accordance with the value appraisements of external experts. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Due to the nature of private equity investment activities, the funds' portfolios contain investment targets with fair value greater than acquisition cost as well as investment targets with fair value less than acquisition cost. Portfolio companies are valued at acquisition cost from the time of investment for a 12-month period, after which they are valued at fair value. According to the EVCA's conservative policies, technology and life science targets are typically valued at acquisition cost or less up to exit.
  • ***** When calculating the investors' share, the fund's net cash assets have to be taken into account in addition to the portfolio at fair value. Net cash assets are typically negative in the real estate funds, due to the use of senior debt.
  • ****** When the return of a fund has exceeded a required cumulative return target, the fund begins to generate carried interest and the management company is entitled to a share of the cash fl ow from the funds. Cash fl ow includes both the distribution of profi ts and distribution of capital.
  • 1) The fund is comprised of two or more legal entities (parallel funds are presented separately only if their investment focuses or portfolios differ signifi cantly).
  • 2) The Fenno, Skandia I and Skandia II funds together comprise the Fenno Program, which is managed jointly with Fenno Management Oy.
  • 3) Currency items are valued at the average exchange rates quoted at 31 December 2007.
  • 4) CapMan Mezzanine IV: The paid-in commitment includes a €96 million bond issued by Leverator Plc. The fund's liquid assets include a loan facility, with which investments are fi nanced up to the next bond issue. Distributed cash fl ow includes payments to both bond subscribers and equity investors.
  • 5) CapMan Real Estate I: The paid-in commitment includes a €100 million bond issued by Real Estate Leverator Plc and a €206.1 million senior loan. Distributed cash fl ow includes repayment of the bonds and cash fl ow to the fund's equity investors. The combined investors' and management company's share of the fund's assets is calculated by deducting net cash assets from the fair value.
  • 6) CapMan Real Estate II: 25% of the fund's size or €150 million is shareholders' equity and the 75% remainder is debt. The investors' share of the fund's assets is calculated by deducting net cash assets from the fair value.
  • Equity, mezzanine and real estate funds have different return potential.
  • The funds vary in terms of management fees and carried interest percentages as well as value creation potential of the investment targets.
  • The greatest potential is related to equity funds.
  • Remaining investment capacity represents almost half of total capital under management, resulting in very good prerequisites for investment operations.
  • The share of capital that has already been exited represents approximately one-third of capital under management.

Funds' portfolios at acquisition cost, €800.6 million as at 31 December 2007

Majority of CapMan's equity funds belong to the top quartile of European private equity funds measured by returns to investors. The returns of currently operational equity funds are affected, in addition to the development of the fund's portfolio, by the fund vintage and focus which infl uences the valuation principles.

FUNDS THAT STARTED OPERATIONS IN 1990–1997

Of the older funds managed by CapMan, Finnventure and Finnmezzanine funds have typically invested in both buyout and technology targets, Nordic Private Equity Partners funds have had pure buyout focus and Swedestart II fund has had pure venture focus.

of Finnmezzanine Fund I via co-investments.

are still active and they await exit from fi ve investee companies in all. The associated return potential of these funds is quite small due to the low number of remaining investments, and forthcoming exits will have minor impact on the funds' return fi gures.

In exception to the other funds managed by CapMan, the Alliance ScanEast Fund established in 1994 has had investment focus on Eastern Europe. The fund has achieved good returns when compared with other Eastern European funds of the same vintage.

FUNDS THAT STARTED OPERATIONS IN 1998–2001

Of the funds that started operations between 1998 and 2001, the Fenno Program's Other subfund has already terminated operations. 80 per cent of the investments made by Finnventure IV and V funds have

been in buyout transactions and 20 per cent in technology targets. The funds' buyout investments have been made at reasonable prices and for the most part their value has developed in line with expectations. The acquisition value of the funds' technology investments was raised by the technology boom in the late 1990s and early 2000. Technology investments of the time were made at high valuation levels, which is particularly evident in the IRRs and money multiples of technology fund Finnventure V ET.

The Swedestart Tech and Swedestart Life Science funds that started operations in 2001 have focus on technology or life science investments respectively. The portfolio companies have typically been valued to at cost or below that in accordance with EVCA guidelines and as is typical for venture funds. As a result of this and early stage operating costs and management fees, the funds' IRRs and money multiples are at quite a low level. However the funds' portfolios are in good condition.

The Fenno Program's Skandia II subfund started operations in 2001 and has had investment focus on buyout transactions. As with other Fenno Program funds, the exit from Eltel Networks in 2004 is visible in the fund's IRR measures. There are two remaining investee companies in Skandia II's portfolio.

CAPMAN EQUITY VII AND CAPMAN BUYOUT VIII FUNDS

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 27 20.2.2008 11:48:34

The CapMan Equity VII and CapMan Buyout VIII funds established in 2002 and 2005 respectively have made investments at moderate valuation levels. The portfolios of both funds developed favourably in 2007, which was refl ected also in CapMan's result via the Company's own fund investments. CapMan Buyout VIII fund has pure buyout focus and the newness of the fund and its portfolio is still evident

in its return fi gures whereas CapMan Equity VII fund has already executed several realisations, which can be seen in the IRR measures of its subfunds A, B and Sweden in particular. Of CapMan Equity VII's subfunds, B has pure buyout focus, C has pure technology focus, and A and Sweden invest in buyout and technology targets at a ratio of 65/35 per cent.

FUNDS OUTSIDE THE COMPARATIVE EXAMINATION

The CapMan Life Science IV fund (established in 2006) and CapMan Technology 2007 fund (established in 2007) make new life science and technology investments. Due to their short operational histories these funds are not comparable with more mature funds, as expenses accrued early in the lifecycle impact on net returns from new funds. The funds will be included in the comparative examination once they have operated for more than two years.

In addition the Finnmezzanine II, Finnmezzanine III and CapMan Mezzanine IV funds established in 1998, 2000 and 2004 are excluded from the examination, because the nature of their investment activities is not directly comparable with the equity funds. CapMan RE II real estate fund established in 2006 utilise debt gearing and is also external to the examination. A closer examination of the returns from mezzanine and real estate funds will be made once they have terminated operations.

CapMan has succeeded well in utilising prevailing market conditions for the funds that started operations between 1990 and 1997. As a pioneer in the private equity investment industry, CapMan made many investments from Finnventure I, II and III funds in the mid 1990s in which the growth potential was realised by the end of the decade. At the same time the buoyant market for IPOs was also exploited by Swedestart II fund's exits. The success of Finnventure II and III funds was refl ected also on the performance

Five of the funds established in years 1990–1997

Investment activities

The funds managed by CapMan invest principally in unquoted Nordic companies or real estate.

The investment activities of the funds investing directly in portfolio companies target the Nordic countries in three investment areas, which are middle market buyouts (CapMan Buyout), expansion and later stage technology investments (CapMan Technology) and investments in medical technology (CapMan Life Science). The investment focus of real estate funds is on real estate targets in Finland and Sweden.

As at the end of 2007 the funds making investments in portfolio companies had invested in over 160 companies and exited from over 100 companies. CapMan Real Estate had invested in 38 real estate assets and exited from 22 assets. Further information on CapMan's current and previous investment targets as well as the strategies and investment focus of the investment teams is presented on pages 40–72 and on CapMan's website at www.capman.com.

Access Capital Partners

CapMan Plc's associated company Access Capital Partners is a leading independent European manager and advisor of funds of funds. The funds managed by Access invest predominantly in Western European buyout and technology funds. Access continued its growth in 2007 and the company managed assets totalling €2.3 billion at year-end.

SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH IN CAPITAL UNDER MANAGEMENT

Total assets under management by Access grew 42 per cent in 2007, especially with the establishment of a fourth generation buyout fund and with a signifi cant private equity mandate that was received from the French government. Commitments totalling €240 million had been raised into Access Capital Fund IV Growth Buy-out Europe (ACF IV) by year-end and its fundraising continues in 2008. All together Access managed €1,164.5 million in funds of funds and €1,162 million private equity mandates at the end of the year.

SPREAD OF INVESTMENTS ACROSS EUROPEAN GROWTH SECTORS

Access offers its investors the opportunity to diversify their investment portfolio across Europe in various high growth sectors via small to mid-market buyout funds, sector focused funds and technology funds. Access is also active in secondary investments in both markets.

The investors in Access funds are pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors as well as family businesses and private individuals.

HIGHLY SELECTIVE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Access Capital Partners constitutes carefully balanced portfolios comprising high-performance European private equity funds of various different managers. The funds target companies at diverse stages of the value creation stream: high-potential technology ventures, late stage growth companies and buyout transactions.

When making investments, Access is looking for investment teams that have been working together successfully for several years and have a proven track record for superior returns. They must also demonstrate a strong pricing discipline together with a high level of value added to investee companies. The buyout funds vary in size between €100 million and €1 billion.

The technology funds managed by Access invest in funds with portfolio companies that operate in leading European technology clusters such as the UK, Germany, the Nordic countries and France. To achieve an optimal risk-return ratio, a substantial proportion of the Access portfolio is constituted of funds including later stage technology companies and buyouts in their investment focus.

AN EXPERIENCED TEAM WITH LONG TRACK RECORD

The Access team comprises 28 multinational professionals based in Paris, Brussels and Munich. The team is headed by the three managing partners Dominique Peninon, Agnès Nahum and Philippe Poggioli, who have a combined experience of 58 years investing both in funds and directly within the European private equity industry.

CapMan has a 35 per cent stake in the management company Access Capital Partners and the balance is held by the managing partners.

Corporate social responsibility

Private equity has a prominent role in society both as an asset manager for fund investors and a facilitator of portfolio company development. CapMan aims to be a responsible and ethical corporate citizen in all of its stakeholder relations.

CAPMAN AS AN ASSET MANAGER

CapMan has an important role in society as the manager of capital invested by institutional investors in its funds. A considerable amount of the capital is invested by Nordic pension funds, whose commitments represent about 47 per cent of the total capital in CapMan funds. The success of investment operations has a direct effect on the earnings of fund investors and their stakeholders, such as pensioners.

CapMan reports on the development of its funds' portfolio in compliance with EVCA guidelines and the applicable laws, fi nancial reporting standards and other regulations. Investment principles are agreed by the funds and fund investors together. In making investment decisions, CapMan requires that investee companies comply with prevailing laws and guidelines and act responsibly on environmental, ethical and social issues. Value creation in the portfolio companies is also subject to the same principles. CapMan applies highly careful investment criteria, and an investment decision is made in less than two per cent of the several hundreds of new potential investments analysed by CapMan's investment teams each year. Investment-related risks and risk management are outlined on page 75.

STEADY GROWTH OF PRIVATE EQUITY BACKED COMPANIES

The societal impact of private equity is typically described in terms of change in turnover and number of staff in portfolio companies. The companies themselves generally appreciate the sparring and strategic skills contributed by the private equity investor.

Two studies on the economic impact of private equity published in 2007 have shown that economic growth and employment are created more rapidly by the private equity backed companies than by other

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 31 20.2.2008 11:48:35

private companies. The studies, conducted by BVCA in the UK for 2006 and by SVCA in Sweden for years 2000–2005, compared the annual growth in turnover and number of personnel of private equity backed companies with a control groups, which were the FTSE 100 companies in the UK and the companies quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in Sweden. The results showed that for the period under study the turnover of portfolio companies grew by 9 per cent in the UK and by 23 per cent in Sweden, compared to 7 and 9 per cent respectively for the control groups. The number of personnel grew by 9 per cent in UK portfolio companies and by 10 per cent in Swedish portfolio companies, compared to 1 and 0 per cent growth in the control groups1) 2).

The FVCA conducted a study on the economic impact of private equity in Finland for years 2002–2004. The results showed that the average growth in turnover achieved by portfolio companies over the three-year period was more than threefold in the buyout sector, twofold in the venture sector and almost fi vefold in the ser vice sector3).

DEVELOPMENT OF CAPMAN'S PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

In 2007 CapMan's portfolio companies employed over 20,000 people, and their estimated aggregate turnover is some €3.4 billion. CapMan holds a total investment capacity of some €690 million, which enables the development of companies and transfer of capital to support portfolio company growth, competitiveness and innovations*. Adding together the investments and exits made annually by CapMan, our decisions impact the future of a group of Nordic companies with a net worth of some €1.1 billion**.

During 2007 CapMan participated in a study of private equity impacts in Finland headed by Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation. An impact study on the development of CapMan's portfolio companies for investments made in years 1990–2003 was completed as a part of the study. The results showed that CapMan's investments impacted positively on both the turnover and number of personnel of its portfolio companies in comparison to a control group4).

COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT

CapMan's wide range of fund products enables investments to be diversifi ed across different sectors. For example investments in healthcare technology, private healthcare service providers and cleantech companies in the energy sector strengthen the national Nordic economies. At the same time private equity investments support the emergence of new innovations and facilitate the search for new alternative solutions to challenges such as healthcare reform, the service society, globalisation or environmental change.

CapMan employees are active in FVCA and EVCA promoting the development of the private equity industry and international cooperation. CapMan also has a partnership with the Family Business Association of Finland. Additionally, CapMan has supported education of the private equity industry and was one of the donors for a fi ve-year private equity professorship to the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management at Helsinki University of Technology.

Personnel

CapMan has a personnel of 110 people in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. The success of CapMan's business depends on the Group's ability to recruit, develop, motivate and retain the top private equity professionals in all of its teams.

PLENTY OF NEW RECRUITMENTS

At the end of 2007 CapMan had 110 (2006: 98) employees, of whom 109 persons were in permanent positions. In addition there were fi ve Senior Advisors acting as consultants for CapMan. The average age of the staff is 39.7 years.

During the year a total of 26 (23) new employees commenced work for CapMan. The staff turnover represents 28 per cent of the number of employees at the end of 2006. Some of the new employees were recruited to replace the 12 (12) persons who left the Company, but the growth in personnel was especially due to a growth in business volume and related resource needs.

As a course of the recruitment process we have noticed that CapMan has a good and steady reputation as an employer, both amongst seasoned professionals and new talent. CapMan's reputation as an employer is especially strong in Finland and to an increasing degree also in other Nordic countries. The qualities that distinguish CapMan from other employers include, among others, the Group's well-rounded business activities, business environment and corporate values.

COMPLEMENTARY INVESTMENT TEAMS AND THREE SERVICE TEAMS

CapMan's personnel is divided into four complementary investment teams – CapMan Buyout, CapMan Technology, CapMan Life Science and CapMan Real Estate – as well as three Group level teams serving internal and external stakeholders – Investor Services, Internal Services and Human Resources. Of CapMan's staff, 67 people work in investment teams and 43 people in service teams. The current ratio of investment staff to service

staff meets the needs of CapMan's operations and enables fi rst-rate fundraising, reporting and portfolio performance monitoring as well as internal processes and expansion into new business lines.

DEDICATED PEOPLE WITH CONFIDENCE IN SUCCESS

CapMan strives to ensure employee satisfaction and longstanding commitment. The Group conducts a comprehensive employee survey each year to gauge its performance as an employer. The response rate to the CapPeople survey in 2007 was high, at 85 per cent. The themes of the survey included leadership and management, job content, work environment, colleagues, CapMan as a company, CapMan as an employer and CapMan's values.

The results of the survey showed that CapMan employees are strongly engaged in the Group and

CapMan_1osa_fglENG.indd 32 20.2.2008 11:48:35

believe in CapMan's success also in the future. 80 per cent of respondents stated that they are guided in their daily decision-making by CapMan's values. The data was also analysed on a team level with respect to the confi dentiality of individual responses. Clear themes were evident in the results at the Group level, but the unique strengths and developmental areas of each team were also apparent. CapPeople 2007 confi rmed that CapMan operates as one fi rm with a strong Nordic corporate culture, as there were no cross-border differences in the results.

PERSONNEL TRAINING AND INCENTIVE SCHEMES

To encourage employees' involvement and reward their commitment in the Group, CapMan has a performance related bonus scheme that is incomebased and covers the entire personnel. The individual

* There are nine CapMan employees who have academic qualifi cations in two fi elds.

work performance of all CapMan employees is evaluated at developmental discussions held twice yearly. In addition to feedback, new objectives as well as individual developmental and training needs are agreed. CapMan's total expenditure on personnel training and Group development days in 2007 was €300,000 (€340,000), or an average of €2,752 per employee.

CapMan had one stock option scheme in force at the end of 2007. The stock option program covers CapMan's personnel and members of the Board. Detailed information about the stock option program and employee shareholdings can be found on page 16.

In line with market practice in the private equity industry, CapMan's investment professionals are eligible to receive a share of the carried interest generated by CapMan funds through carried interest schemes. Personnel may also participate in portfolio company co-investment plans alongside CapMan funds, via the Maneq funds.

Value creation in CapMan's investments

The principal aim of CapMan's investment activities is value creation in the investment targets. The objective is to create permanent and long-term added value through growth, change and professional governance. Development has been strong as far as both current portfolio companies and exited investments are concerned.

ALL INVESTMENT TEAMS HAVE EXTENSIVE MARKET COVERAGE

CapMan's teams investing in portfolio companies go through hundreds of potential new investments each year. In connection with their investment procedures they review almost all Nordic investment opportunities that fi t CapMan funds' investment focus.

Following preliminary appraisal of all potential new investments that came to the teams' knowledge in 2007, in-depth analysis was undertaken for 39 opportunities or 10 per cent of all potential investments. In the end CapMan completed 11 new portfolio company investments in all.

In 2007 CapMan's Buyout team performed 24 detailed analyses and made an investment decision in fi ve companies, and the Technology team performed 12 detailed analyses and made an investment decision in six companies. Of the investments completed during the year, two were syndicated by CapMan Buyout and CapMan Life Science and one by CapMan Technology and CapMan Life Science. CapMan's Real Estate team analysed over 110 potential new investments and made an investment decision in 16 targets.

VALUE CREATION IS FOUNDED ON ACTIVE OWNERSHIP

CapMan is an active owner in its portfolio companies. The objective is to create lasting added value through growth, change and professional governance. CapMan's investment professionals work actively with the portfolio companies' strategy development, international expansion and mergers and acquisitions. The most important tools in development work are

Board representation by CapMan investment professionals and partnership with the management teams.

During the investment CapMan's investment professionals bring valuable perspectives and recommendations on operational, strategic and fi nancial decision-making processes to the portfolio companies. They have deep and broad expertise from business management, industry or fi nance.

CapMan's investment teams have an extensive contact network comprising representatives, entrepreneurs and other business partners across different industry sectors, which forms an important talent pool for the portfolio companies' operative management and Boards.

CapMan is the only private equity investor with investment teams and offi ces in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. CapMan's strong presence in local markets and local contact network is a competitive advantage that enables almost all new opportunities to come to the teams' knowledge, and facilitates the evaluation of value creation potential of promising investments on a Nordic level already prior to the investment decision.

CapMan's value creation plan for real estate assets is based on a well-structured portfolio and in particular on the active development of individual targets by means of real estate management, construction contracting, new service concepts and active leasing operations.

BOARD WORK IN PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

The cornerstone of CapMan's portfolio company development is work on the companies' Boards of Directors.

The Composition of the Board and focus of Board work in portfolio companies are dependent on a company's development stage and needs. In buyout targets and later stage technology companies, CapMan's investment professionals focus in particular on developing the company's strategy to grow from mid-sized or local companies into bigger and more international players through organic growth and mergers and acquisitions. When the initial investment is executed CapMan prepares a 100-day plan for the company, which contains a framework of actions and decisions for the implementation of the agreed strategy. At this stage both the company management and Board of Directors are often strengthened with new executives and industry experts.

The emphasis of Board work in earlier stage technology and life science companies is closer to operative management, although the responsibility for operational issues remains with the company management. In life science companies this typically means investments in wider commercialisation of the company's products or services.

When required the case professionals have infl uence on the company's product range, product placement, management, marketing, sales, distribution and intellectual property rights. Especially in life science investments, product testing and market regulations have a substantial impact on the company's success.

CapMan places emphasis on the composition, way of working and compensation of the Board; good cooperation with the company's operative management; and active monitoring of the company's fi nancial situation, risk management and business environment as well as response to changes. We adopt a long-term approach to the development of Board work, for example through surveys of Board work, thus enabling experience and best practice to be shared between portfolio companies.

In spite of CapMan's resources and expertise, the most critical driver behind value creation is the ability of the active management to outperform its competitors on the markets.

NORDIC ADVISOR NETWORK

CapMan has a Nordic Advisor Network to complement the expertise of its investment professionals. Advisors are business leaders with long careers, and they bring new connections and in-depth sector knowledge to CapMan's investment operations.

Senior Advisors work full-time for CapMan and its portfolio companies from CapMan's offi ces. They have played a key role in CapMan's investments in Flander, IT2 Treasury Solutions, Komas, Maintpartner, Mawell and Moventas among others. Industrial Advisors work part-time for CapMan, for example through their representation on the Boards of portfolio companies.

The main responsibilities of advisors are to facilitate origination of promising investments across different industries and countries; to assist in the analysis of changing, growing or consolidating industries; and to support the value creation of portfolio companies, for example through professional Board work. In addition they help in the identifi cation of suitable acquisitions, business partners and market opportunities for the portfolio companies, as well as suitable owners in the exit stage.

CapMan adopted the advisor concept in the late 1990s when the fi rst Senior Advisors were appointed. The concept was expanded in 2004 and Industrial Advisors were invited to the network. At year-end CapMan's Nordic Advisor Network comprised six Senior Advisors and 15 Industrial Advisors in all.

CapMan Buyout

In 2007 CapMan Buyout was again one of the most active players in the Nordic market, as evidenced by fi ve new investments. Cooperation with the management of our portfolio companies worked extremely well, and the companies developed favourably.

INVESTMENTS IN CHANGING INDUSTRIES

Our team's investment focus is on mid-sized Nordic companies in various industries. The portfolio companies usually have net sales in the range of €50 million to €500 million and clear growth potential both organically and via mergers and acquisitions. The companies typically operate in industries that are consolidating or otherwise changing.

We actively analyse different industries to originate good investment targets. For example the change pressures in healthcare and forestry sectors may offer us interesting opportunities. The privatisation of public services, outsourcing of industrial services and successions in family businesses are also evident as a growth in investment opportunities.

A WELL-BALANCED PORTFOLIO

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 40 20.2.2008 11:50:26

In 2007 CapMan's Buyout portfolio grew with fi ve new investments, of which the first were in supplier of mechanical subassembly systems Komas Oy and vehicle logistics company Skandia Autologistics Oy. We also executed our fi rst investment in the paper industry in spring when the funds acquired Walki Group, a producer of industrial wrappings and composite materials, from UPM-Kymmene Corporation.

Additionally we made two interesting investments in syndicate with CapMan Life Science in the Nordic healthcare sector. Swedish Nacka Närsjukhus Proxima AB provides specialty hospital and emergency services in the greater Stockholm area and Curato AS, which was born in the merger of four companies, is Norway's leading provider of medical imaging services. Both companies target strong growth in the next few years through mergers and acquisitions.

"Our portfolio companies executed a total of 33 mergers and acquisitions in 2007."

Besides new investments our team made several follow-on investments to fi nance acquisitions or investments by existing portfolio companies. As at the end of 2007 the CapMan Buyout VIII fund established in 2005 has made eight investments, and in 2008 we will already commence fundraising preparations for our next fund.

ACTIVE OWNERSHIP DELIVERS RETURNS

The turnover of our portfolio companies developed strongly as a whole in 2007.

A further indicator of strong development is the advance repayment of mezzanine and equity loans by several

On the exit front, 2007 was clearly quieter for our team compared to the previous two years. Our partial exit from Moventas Oy in January delivered a more than fourfold return on invested capital to investors (see the case study on page 47). Integrated facility management services provider Synerco AB was sold to a larger trade buyer in spring, and helicopter fl ight and maintenance operator Copterline Oy to a Finnish investor consortium in autumn. In late 2007 we also announced an exit from mezzanine target Savcor Group and sold our entire shares in Affecto Plc. In these exits we are pleased to have found new owners who will continue to develop the companies.

FOUR EXITS

companies during the year.

On a yearly level, around 50 middle market buyout transactions that fi t our investment focus are made in the Nordic countries. CapMan has excellent Nordic market coverage, as in recent years our team has analysed more than 70 per cent of the deals made in the market. Measured in terms of the volume of completed deals, CapMan has been one of the most active players in Nordic middle market buyouts.

Enterprise values were high in the fi rst half of 2007. According to our observations, we succeeded to make investments at somewhat lower than average prices and lower debt coeffi cients. Our moderate approach to pricing has also meant that valuations in some auction processes rose to too high level for us.

The emergence of fi nancial markets turbulence at the end of summer was refl ected to some extent also in the Nordic countries, and the market clearly quietened down towards the end of the year. The supply of loan fi nancing has become more diffi cult especially in big buyouts, and as a result players specialising in these may turn their sights also on middle market transactions. Lower entry levels may also lead to increased interest from industrial buyers. We therefore believe that the competition for middle market buyout targets will remain tense also in 2008.

PREREQUISITES FOR SUCCESS

Our strengths continue to be our team's local presence and pan-Nordic business approach. Our value proposition is based on deep knowledge of buyout transactions, proven tools and processes and the scale of our team's contact network – all underpinning our capabilities to meet the challenges of the future. We will continue our close cooperation with the management of our portfolio companies. Company executives are always also involved in the companies as owners, and they have the key role in achieving success.

OneMed has grown into the leading supplier of healthcare products and equipment in the Baltic region.

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 42 20.2.2008 11:50:28

GROWTH DURING CAPMAN'S INVESTMENT PERIOD: SALES +138% STAFF+122% 5 M&A

In just over a year, OneMed has grown into the leading supplier of healthcare products and equipment in the Baltic region. The Group was established in June 2006, when CapMan acquired the Tamro MedLab business unit from Finnish Tamro Corporation. The initial investment has been followed by substantial acquisitions in Sweden, Poland and Finland.

What makes OneMed's sector into an attractive growth market?

  • Jorma Turunen: Our sector offers exciting growth opportunities with the ageing of the population, growing prevalence of chronic diseases, development of technological solutions in healthcare and increased research and product development. In addition the funding available for healthcare is on the rise.
  • Ari Tolppanen: From our viewpoint as a private equity investor the appeal of the sector lies, in addition to demographical factors, in its relative stability, the uncyclical nature of business and good prospects for consolidation. There are still lots of growth opportunities in the Baltic region, and the competitors are for now mainly local players.

Why are M&A the cornerstone of OneMed's growth strategy?

  • AT: The prerequisite for OneMed's success is an adequately large size, so we are building a strategic position for OneMed through mergers and acquisitions. The economies of scale and local presence achieved through acquisitions enable OneMed to respond to core trends in the market.
  • JT: The standardised procurement processes and joint procurement programs of our customers as well as global consolidation of healthcare supplies and equipment manufacturers means that also we as a supplier must have suffi ciently large size and negotiating power to succeed.

What are the synergies in practice?

JT: Our portfolio of products has grown substantially. We have a groupwide distribution network for all Group companies as well as common research, product development and marketing operations. Our own private label products in particular have signifi cant cross-selling potential.

AT: In addition to economies of scale, the Group's synergies are related also to strategically important governance and management systems and their effi ciency, as well as the reorganisation of business units. Synergy benefi ts between the acquired businesses and an effective operational organisation are the foundation for organic growth of the entire Group.

Why did you choose to make the largest acquisitions in Sweden and Poland?

  • AT: The merger of SelefaTrade and Förbandsmaterial in 2006 signifi cantly strengthened OneMed's previously modest position in Sweden and achieved Nordic market leadership for the Group. Annual growth in the Nordic healthcare supplies and equipment market is forecast at some fi ve per cent. The rate of growth in Poland is faster and the growth potential is therefore substantial.
  • JT: CapMan's Nordic business environment and expertise in the healthcare sector have been fundamental in fi nding the right acquisition targets.

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 43 20.2.2008 11:50:30

What are OneMed's goals in the future?

  • JT: Our goal is to keep growing, to strengthen the position of our own private labels, cost-effi ciency and customer satisfaction. The latter of these is related not only to our product range, level of customer service and pricing but also our capabilities to serve multinational customers.
  • AT: OneMed's net sales have doubled in just over a year. CapMan's and the management's shared target is to record further signifi cant growth in sales revenues. We want to build OneMed into the market leader in selected geographical areas and to produce benefi ts for Group companies, healthcare customers in the Nordic and Baltic region and investors. The short-term objective is to bring the post acquisition integration processes to a conclusion.

Moventas shifts into top gear

Moventas is one of the world's leading suppliers of mechanical power transmission equipment and maintenance services for the energy and process industries. CapMan decided to enlarge Moventas' ownership base in winter 2007 in response to strong market growth and the company's forceful development.

STRONG VALUE CREATION POTENTIAL

Funds managed by CapMan acquired Moventas (formerly Metso Drives) from Metso Corporation. Moventas' value creation plan was specifi ed during the investment process based on growth in the market for wind gears, growth in sales to the former parent company and its competitors, global growth in maintenance services, improvement in profi tability and effective capital structure management. The solid technical expertise and customer relationships built under Metso created a platform for rapid growth and improved profi tability.

NEW GROWTH STRATEGY

Value creation work was started immediately post investment. The most visible actions of the strategy were the recruitment of a new CEO and the defi nition of growth areas and a new organisation.

A new strategy was specifi ed for Moventas as a result of the strategy process, which targeted a doubling of volumes, threefold growth in profi tability and delivery of added value for all interest groups. The strategy was based on organic growth and a new organisation model that included two business units – Wind Gears and Industrial Gears – with strong growth objectives.

CapMan's role in Moventas was to craft an aggressive growth strategy and to support management in the strategy implementation.

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 47 20.2.2008 11:50:34

GROWTH TARGETS WERE RAPIDLY REACHED

Moventas established a strategic position as an independent company within a short time and hence generated signifi cant interest. The company required substantial follow-on investments to capitalise on growth in the wind gears market; therefore we wanted to fi nd an owner with capability to meet growth requirements and commitment to the company's further development.

CapMan funds made a partial exit from Moventas in January 2007, retaining a minority stake of 16 per cent in the company and continuing proactive participation in the company's development. During an eighteen-month period with CapMan as majority owner, Moventas posted signifi cant growth in turnover and number of employees and close to doubled its operating profi t. CapMan funds meanwhile delivered a fourfold return on invested capital to fund investors.

CapMan Technology

Year 2007 proved the suitability of our current investment focus for Nordic technology markets, and we acquired six new portfolio companies. In addition, we exited from seven companies.

THE YEAR OPENED WITH A NEW FUND

The fi rst signifi cant event for CapMan Technology in 2007 was the establishment of CapMan Technology 2007 fund. The investment focus of the fund is on expansion and later stage technology companies, and due to its technology focus we can utilise the existence of Nordic technology clusters in our investment operations.

Our portfolio companies are primarily companies that deliver industrial and business-to-business technology products, solutions or technology-based services, and have a proof of concept with existing customers. In addition to value creation potential, the qualities that we look for in the expansion stage companies include a solid business plan, an attractive growth scenario, a strong management team and some revenue from existing customers. In later stage companies we expect solid technology or products, a good customer base or a few larger customers, a well-functioning revenue model and a strong ambition to accelerate the company's growth. In addition the companies' products or services must have extensive demand internationally.

NEW PORTFOLIO COMPANIES HAVE INTERNATIONAL AMBITIONS

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 50 20.2.2008 11:51:03

Technology companies continue to offer a variety of investment opportunities in our Nordic business environment, and the past year has further strengthened our belief in the competitiveness of our investment focus and business model in Nordic technology markets. In 2007 we acquired six new companies to our portfolio, all sharing a common goal of strong growth and internationalisation. In March we announced investments in video surveillance software provider Mirasys Ltd. and market intelligence solutions specialist Global Intelligence Alliance Group Oy, and in early summer we acquired treasury management

solutions provider IT2 Treasury Solutions and IP communications house Movial Applications Oy.

Particularly interesting additions to our portfolio in 2007 were KMW Energi AB and Mawell Oy, which were the fi rst investments by our team in the rapidly growing cleantech and healthcare sectors. KMW Energi is the leading supplier of bio fuel combustion plants and combined heat and power plants in Sweden. The plants deploy innovative technology solutions that enable the versatile use of bio fuels. Mawell, on the other hand, provides ICT healthcare solutions for private and public healthcare

  • ready and approved products/services

our remaining shares in SysOpenDigia Plc and Affecto Plc.

GROWTH IS A MAJOR DRIVER OF VALUE CREATION

Value creation in the portfolio companies is based fi rst and foremost on growth in sales, improved operational effi ciency and the building of a strategic position. In 2007 the aggregate sales of our portfolio companies increased by an estimated 37 per cent and the aggregate number of personnel by an estimated 38 per cent. The companies' average profi tability also improved. CapMan Technology's investment portfolio comprised 24 companies in all at year-end.

Our investment professionals contribute to the value creation process mainly via Board work, supporting the company management in strategy work, M&A, recruitment of senior management and issues of internationalisation among others. It is the key personnel of portfolio companies who play the central role in the implementation of changes and successful creation of value.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Institutional commitment in European venture capital investment has been at a historically low level in recent years, which has refl ected on fundraising of technology funds. Fundraising for CapMan Technology 2007 fund succeeded well in spite of the market situation and the fund held a fi nal close at €142.3 million in January 2008. Behind the successful fundraising was CapMan Technology's investment focus according to which we have worked for already 10 years' time.

The past year was a time of active investments and exits for our team, even though the Nordic technology market was clearly shrinking as measured by the volume of technology investments made. There was a drop in terms of the amount of invested capital in Finland, while in terms of the volume of deals the biggest fall was seen in Sweden. CapMan Technology's market coverage remained good in 2007 thanks to our Nordic approach, and in connection with our investment processes we saw more than 70 per cent of all opportunities fi tting our investment focus. We believe that our team and resources place us in a good position to continue as a proactive player in the market also in 2008.

Our portfolio companies Secgo Software Oy, Hantro Products Oy, Avitec AB and Solid Information Technology Oy were all acquired by larger industrial players in 2007.

GROWTH DURING CAPMAN'S INVESTMENT PERIOD:

Markus Suomi CEO, Flander Oy

STAFF +100%

Investment Activities

In its ten years of operation, Finnish Flander has grown and developed into a pioneer in software testing for wireless environments. The company's customers include the world's leading mobile device manufacturers, independent software vendors, mobile operators and service providers. Flander has invested strongly in international growth during the past two years.

What makes software testing a global growth sector?

  • Markus Suomi: Mobile devices are evolving very rapidly today. The demand for independent software testers like Flander is supported by the continuous growth and increasing complexity of devices and software applications. The number of component providers is also growing strongly.
  • Vesa Walldén: The global nature of the market calls for several different versions of the same manufacturer's software or services, which in turn builds up testing markets all over the world. In addition the big players in the market, such as mobile phone manufacturers, are increasingly relocating their production and product development abroad.

Why did Flander pursue active expansion in the past two years?

MS: We have achieved substantial growth throughout the entire history of the company, accelerated by the increased level of outsourcing in software development and testing. Almost all ICT companies utilising outsourced testing services are global players, who prefer partnerships with service providers offering a comprehensive service portfolio and local presence in different markets. We sought support for our internationalisation with the fi nancing round in 2005.

Why was Flander a good fit to CapMan's investment focus?

VW: Prior to our investment in 2005 we followed Flander for a few years, during which time the company proved its service concept and won major customers. Flander has all the prerequisites for success and we are pleased to back the company not only in terms of fi nancial support, but also with know-how in M&A, internationalisation, executive recruitment and restructuring of management and governance systems.

Why did you establish the first international units in Peking and Stockholm?

  • VW: Peking offers a good business environment. Compared to many other Asian countries China's infrastructure is more advanced and the country has a ready supply of highly educated labour force. China is also a large and strategically important market in itself. Sweden, on the other hand, is a very important market in addition to Finland for many ICT companies. In the service sector the capability to provide services close to product development is critical.
  • MS: The Peking unit produces cost benefi ts in testing services and execution of major project components for our customers in the Asia region. The unit serves both foreign companies in China and our Nordic customers, thus evening out ordering peaks. At the same time the subsidiary founded in Sweden in 2007 serves our major Nordic customers.

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 53 20.2.2008 11:51:07

What is required from a technology company to internationalise?

  • MS: It demands a strong and unique concept, extensive networking, an understanding of the customer's business and processes, as well as top partners in fi nance and consulting.
  • VW: An experienced management and Board of Directors with a shared vision play a key role. We reinforced Flander with solid expertise in global business and technology markets by recruiting Markus Suomi as the new CEO and strengthening the Board of Directors.

What are Flander's next goals?

  • MS: We aim to provide innovative and reliable solutions that enable the success of our global customers. We will keep a sharp eye on the markets and stay close to our customers, while we develop our service capabilities in China also for our Nordic customers.
  • VW: Our objective during the next few years is to grow Flander organically and through M&A and to consolidate the company's strategic position in the global testing market all in all. For the moment, our efforts are focused on internationalising the company and creating profi table organic growth.

CapMan Life Science

Our investments in 2007 were centred on healthcare services providers that complement our portfolio of medtech companies. Healtcare trends open up new investment opportunities for our team also in 2008.

HEALTHCARE REFORM BRINGS OPPORTUNITIES

It is expected that the increased need for healthcare services will generate strong growth in demand for medical technology products in the future. Rising healthcare expenditure, the ageing population and lifestyle changes all accelerate the adoption of new products and devices. Coincidingly, preventive treatment grows in importance.

The European ideal – to preserve a universal public healthcare system for the entire population – requires substantial improvements in effectiveness. New innovative products and operational models also make this possible. The proportion of public healthcare services outsourced to the private sector has risen in the Nordic countries, and the privatisation trend is expected to continue. There is also increasing demand for specialty care and, consequently, a growing demand for providers of specialised healthcare services or products.

INVESTMENTS TARGET PRODUCTS OR SERVICES

CapMan Life Science invests principally in Nordic medtech companies or healthcare services companies. The products or services of our portfolio companies satisfy direct and long-term customer demands, and typically enable better treatment outcome at a lower cost.

Our team is specialised in companies that market and sell medical products and equipment used for

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 58 20.2.2008 11:51:24

the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The products of our portfolio companies are typically devices and/ or consumables developed using innovative technologies with limited or no remaining development risks. Medtech technology markets have, however, become tougher. Clinical product trials have become more extensive, FDA approvals have grown more stringent and the time to market for products has slowed. At the same time increasing healthcare costs have led to the situation where the reimbursement of products from public or private funds is increasingly uncertain. Indeed, risks related to medtech companies have grown and investment holding periods have clearly stretched beyond the desired timeframe of 4 to 6 years. As a result we have moved our focus to more mature investments and healthcare services companies with clear cash generating capability.

NEW INVESTMENTS COMPLEMENT THE PORTFOLIO

CapMan Life Science has outstanding market penetration and we see almost all investment opportunities that meet our investment focus in the Nordic countries. In 2007 we made three new investments, of which our investments in Swedish Nacka Närsjukhus Proxima AB and Norwegian Curato AS were in syndicate with CapMan Buyout and our investment in Finnish Mawell Oy in syndicate with CapMan Technology. Syndication of investments enables us to exploit investment teams' crosscompetency in M&A, technology solutions and

"In the end it is the deep knowledge of the portfolio companies' executives and key personnel in medical treatments, technologies and markets that play a leading role in driving

value creation."

medicine, among other areas. With a slowdown of the medtech market in 2007, CapMan's extensive deal fl ow has facilitated origination of attractive later stage investment opportunities.

Of our new portfolio companies, Nacka Närsjukhus Proxima provides specialised hospital and emergency services in the greater Stockholm area and Curato is Norway's leading provider of medical imaging services. Both companies have a mission to grow strongly through mergers and acquisitions in the next few years, with business expansion enhanced by exploitation of their expert know-how, equipment and staff. Mawell, on the other hand, provides private and public healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies with ICT solutions such as medical imaging and multimedia, self-care, eServices, business intelligence and healthcare development. The company's web-based technology enables electronic handling of patient records and

real-time integration of different healthcare information management systems, signifi cantly increasing the effectiveness of treatment. All three investments complement our existing portfolio.

PROVEN EXPERTISE DRIVES SUCCESS

The medical environment sets standards for the value creation strategies of our portfolio companies. We take an active part in value creation above all through proactive Board work, to which we especially bring wide industry knowledge and know-how in strategic issues and commercialisation of medtech products. A key focus area for our team is to ensure that portfolio companies develop a good level of sales and profi tability.

Finding the right management is important from the value creation point of view, as in the end it is the deep knowledge of executives and key personnel in medical treatment methods, technologies and markets that play a leading role in driving value creation. Correspondingly, an experienced owner with a strong commitment to business development provides the best possible setting in which to succeed.

In 2007 the companies in our portfolio achieved aggregate growth in sales of around 34 per cent. There was one listing from our portfolio during the year, when Swedish Aerocrine AB executed an IPO on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The NIOX monitoring devices developed by Aerocrine measure the nitrogen oxide content of the patient's exhaled

breath for the improved management and care of asthma. We retained our Aerocrine shares in the IPO. Important milestones were also reached by Silex Microsystems, which continued its strong growth and improved its profi tability, and by Neoventa Medical, which took a great leap forward with the launch of its product on US markets (see the case story on pages 60–61).

MARKET OUTLOOK

Global trends in the healthcare sector will bring new investment opportunities to investors like CapMan Life Science also in future. A characteristic of our team is that we network extensively with companies at different developmental stages as well as researchers and other players in the Nordic life science sector. The majority of investment opportunities come to our knowledge through personal contact by entrepreneurs or other players in the industry. Our Nordic way to do business and our prospects to syndicate investments with CapMan's other investment teams or other players give us an upper hand in Nordic consolidation of the healthcare sector also in future.

GROWTH DURING CAPMAN'S INVESTMENT PERIOD:

Johan Bennarsten, Partner, Deputy Head of Life Science

SALES

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FIRST STAN® CENTRE IN USA

Swedish Neoventa Medical develops equipment for monitoring and management of fetal oxygen supply during childbirth. The company's unique methodology is used annually in more than 100,000 deliveries in over 20 countries. The sales of Neoventa's main product STAN® have gained good speed in the Nordics and in other parts of Europe over the past few years and now the company's focus is on establishing operations in the US market.

What was the purpose of the 2006 fi nancing round and why was Neoventa a good fi t to CapMan's investment strategy?

  • Jan Stålemark: Neoventa's core product STAN® gained US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval just prior to the fi nancing round, thus opening up the largest single market to us. By extending Neoventa's ownership base we injected both fi nancial power and medtech expertise into the company in order to respond to the opportunities in the US market and to enable further commercialisation of our method on the markets currently covered.
  • Johan Bennarsten: The investment decision was based on the clear clinical need for Neoventa's methodology and the health economics value. At the time of investment the fetal monitoring market was – and still is – relatively untapped and dominated by notably larger players. Neoventa had developed a methodology that was remarkably ahead of the competitors, was backed by extensive clinical data and in use by several customers. The signifi cant sales potential in the US market was also a lucrative opportunity.

What significance did the opening of the fi rst STAN® fetal monitoring centre have in the US?

JS: The introduction of STAN® to the Community Regional Medical Center in California in autumn 2007 was a major milestone. The centre, which operates one of the largest labour and delivery units in California with almost 7,000 births per year, is dedicated to research and education as well as striving for the best possible maternity care. Another important milestone for us in 2007 was the approval by the US National Institutes of Health for a large multi-centre trial.

JB: The very wide scale of the centre's obstetrics care and its cooperation with UCSF Fresno makes it a great fi t to Neoventa's expansion strategy.

What are Neoventa's experiences of the approval processes the company has gone through in the US?

  • JS: The approval process for the US market has been long and somewhat slower than expected especially in terms of approval of product changes, even though the clinical trials had proven the methodology.
  • JB: Obtaining and maintaining FDA approval is an expensive process requiring exhaustive resources. Neoventa's team has, however, succeeded in this process cost-effectively.

What is required from a medtech company to internationalise?

  • JS: CapMan and our other private equity investors have had a central role in defi ning Neoventa's growth strategy, and have brought multinational expertise for our use. Neoventa's methodology in fetal monitoring is unique on a global scale and as there are only a handful of competitors, our business is inherently international.
  • JB: Companies need to shift their focus from research and development to a sales and marketing plan, in addition to clinical trials,

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 61 20.2.2008 11:51:29

quality assurance and regulatory issues. Our role in Neoventa has been to support the company to establish its marketing and sales operations and to enable further business model and product development.

How has the focus been shifted to sales and marketing?

  • JS: In addition to the shift in mindset, we have reinforced our sales and marketing team with new personnel and also allocated more resources to support our current distributor network.
  • JB: We recruited Jan Stålemark largely because of his long sales and marketing experience in the US. We have also strengthened the Neoventa Board in the fi elds of business management, strategic marketing and medical technology.

What are Neoventa's growth targets in the future?

  • JS: Our aim is to make Neoventa's method the standard of obstetrics care in all our selected markets.
  • JB: The major growth markets will be the US and Europe and we will continue to target strong annual sales growth and profi tability of operations in both of these markets during the next 3 to 4 years.

Real Estate

We opened 2007 with the sale of our fi rst fund's portfolio and continued active operations throughout the year, making 16 new investments in all. CapMan

A PEAK YEAR FOR EXITS AND INVESTMENTS

2007 has been a superb year for CapMan Real Estate. In April we held the fi nal close of our CapMan RE II fund investing in property development targets at an investment capacity of €600 million. The fund has started investment operations actively, and its investment focus has proven to be a good fi t to the market. We have acquired several property development targets to our portfolio, in which we will utilise the all-round expertise of our organisation for value creation. As a counterbalance to property development investments we also succeeded to fi nd core and value added properties with more steady returns and lower risk for the portfolios of both funds. During the year we made 16 new investments in all, evenly divided between our fi rst and second funds.

The sale of CapMan Real Estate I fund's portfolio to an international investor consortium was fi nalised at the beginning of the year. The portfolio comprising 22 properties was sold for €377.5 million, generating exceptional returns for both the fund's investors and for CapMan. The fund continues active investment operations and we have succeeded to replace the divested portfolio with new assets.

CapMan Real Estate's business volume of investments, commitments and exits was almost €800 million in 2007. We believe that the availability of individual properties that suit our funds' investment focuses and objectives will remain at a good level also in future, as evidenced by several negotiations on new investments currently underway.

THE NEW HOTEL FUND EXPANDED OUR OPERATIONS IN EARLY 2008

In early 2008 we expanded our investment focus with the establishment of the CapMan Hotels RE fund investing in hotel properties primarily in Finland and Sweden, thus further consolidating our position as one of Finland's leading real estate investors. The investment capacity of the hotel fund had reached €835 million at the fi rst closing held in January 2008. Fundraising continues in 2008, and the fund's maximum investment capacity is €1.1 billion. In connection with its establishment the fund announced the acquisition of a hotel portfolio of 39 properties in Finland and Sweden from Northern European Properties Ltd, concluding the third largest real estate transaction ever made in terms of value in Finland.

VALUE CREATION THROUGH ACTIVE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

We want to act as a reliable partner in real estate development projects and, in addition to the investment, bring in our contribution and expertise to the projects. With active development work, we aim to secure long-term and sustainable value increase in the real estate projects and properties of CapMan's funds and Realprojekti's other customers. In this way the value creation is not only dependent on short-term changes in the business environment. Through our skill base we can also answer to the general price competition and create value through other than fi nancial measures which are though important, clearly more limited at present.

HIGH LEVEL OF DEMAND FOR REAL ESTATE CONSULTING

The buoyant business environment was also visible as an increase in the demand for consulting operations and the launch of many new partnership projects. The growth in the economy and retail volumes was evident in the high numbers of commercial projects especially in the fi rst half of 2007. Of the projects currently under construction by the funds, the Skanssi shopping centre project in Turku and the Entresse shopping centre in Espoo require our project

management and construction contracting resources. In addition we provide numerous other real estate development and zoning services for the projects of our other customers. Consulting operations are the responsibility of the real estate professionals in Realprojekti, a subsidiary of CapMan.

COMPETITION FOR GOOD PROPERTIES REMAINS FIERCE

There was a slight weakening of real estate market liquidity towards the end of 2007, and overall sales volumes are expected to fall to some extent from the level of the previous year. Rising interest rates and credit constriction by the banks in fi nancial markets will impact on competition and prices paid for properties. The use of equity in real estate investments will increase and there will be a fall in transactions made with heavy debt fi nancing. High prices will still be paid for good core properties in the markets, whereas in more opportunistic targets a rise in yield requirements is expected. Demand in commercial leasing markets is expected to remain strong also in 2008 and there are many new projects under construction.

PREREQUISITES FOR SUCCESS IN 2008

CapMan's fi rst and second generation real estate funds have adequate personnel resources, a competitive structure and remaining investing capacity totalling €340 million for seeking good investment targets and developing the current portfolio. Our investment capacity has been substantially raised by the establishment of the new hotel fund. We recruited six new skilled members for our investment and consulting teams in 2007, and an additional eight new people will transfer to our teams with the establishment of the hotel fund. In growing our team we have further enhanced our capabilities to develop the funds' operations, deal fl ow expertise and activity, real estate management and leasing activities – thus enabling us to grow the volume of real estate development work and strengthen resources in CapMan's own and externally contracted commercial projects. These resources secure our prerequisites for success and build even better service and added value for the real estate projects entrusted to us by investors and our customers.

CHANGES DURING CAPMAN'S INVESTMENT PERIOD: 58 VIEWINGS DURING THE YEAR 6 NEW LEASE AGREEMENTS

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 66 20.2.2008 11:51:36

CapMan invested in the property located at Kalevankatu 20 in Helsinki center in January 2007, and the property underwent an extensive renovation during the year. The large-scale project has been concluded by CapMan's Real Estate team and the property has been fully occupied with new tenants. Samuli Koskela, Partner at Lexia Law Offi ces Oy and Kalle Myllymäki, Manager at CapMan Real Estate are pleased with the transformation at Kalevankatu.

Why was Kalevankatu 20 acquired to CapMan's real estate portfolio?

Kalle Myllmäki: Kalevankatu 20 was an excellent fi t to CapMan Real Estate I fund's investment focus. The property was vacant at the time of investment, in a fair condition and featured a prime location. Previously occupied by a single tenant, the property did not meet the standards of offi ce premises today. In other words, it was an excellent property development target in which we could utilise the skill base of our entire Real Estate team.

How did you implement the value creation plan?

KM: Our most important goal was to bring the lobby and other common areas up to a good condition as soon as possible. We designed the premises to be leased by several enterprises. Our leasing team organised viewings with potential tenants and agreed on the customised renovation work that they required for their premises. The renovation work itself was headed by Project Manager Juhani Erke, who has solid expertise in demanding reconstruction and overhaul projects.

Why did Lexia choose Kalevankatu 20 as its business address?

Samuli Koskela: Our former premises had become too small and impractical, so we searched the Helsinki central district for new offi ces through the spring of 2007. The qualities that really set Kalevankatu 20 apart were the central location and the suitability of the fi fth fl oor offi ces for our purposes. Our entire staff is located on the same fl oor and there is room for the company to grow in future.

What changes were made to Lexia's premises?

  • SK: All of the interior surfaces were completely renovated. The premises were originally in poor condition, but we saw that as an opportunity to make radical improvements instead of being an obstacle. Our offi ces are a part of the Lexia brand, so we used our own designers to ensure that we found the right solutions.
  • KM: The entire building underwent a massive transformation. Lexia's offi ces are a good example of how outdated offi ces can be upgraded to meet the corporate needs of today. In making the renovations we tried to keep the premises as fl exible as possible, so that future large-scale changes would not be necessary for example with an increase in the company's personnel.

How did the renovation work proceed and what is your opinion of the end result?

  • SK: The renovations proceeded exceptionally well, even though the schedule was extremely tight. In just three months after signing the lease we had already moved into our new offi ces on Kalevankatu. Without CapMan's expert project management the renovations would certainly have been drawn-out much longer than the original plan. As a bonus, the location has proven to be even better than we fi rst thought. All in all we have been very pleased with our new offi ce solution.
  • KM: On behalf of the Real Estate team I am also pleased to say that the project went very smoothly, as the tenants had thought out their needs very well in advance and both parties were ready to be fl exible. We successfully adhered to the schedule and the end result is a highly modern offi ce in functional premises customised for Lexia.

The property was vacant at the time of investment. What is its vacancy rate now?

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 67 20.2.2008 11:51:39

KM: We had a lot of interest in the premises following their complete renovation. All of the offi ce premises are now fully let to long-term tenants, and we are adding the fi nishing touches to the property at present.

OTHER MANAGEMENT

Management Group

The Management Group of CapMan Plc is responsible for the preparation of proposals on matters relating to CapMan Group's business to the CEO and Board of Directors. The composition of the Management Group, and the responsibilities, background information and remuneration of its members are presented on page 78 and in more detail on the Company's website at www.capman.com.

Investment Committees

CapMan also has Investment Committees, which are comprised of the CEO, Senior Partners and Partners of the Company, for its funds.

The Chairmen are CEO Heikki Westerlund (CapMan Equity VII and CapMan Buyout VIII funds), Lennart Jacobsson (CapMan Technology 2007 fund), Jan Lundahl (CapMan Life Science IV fund) and Jukka Iivari (CapMan Real Estate I and CapMan RE II funds).

Insider issues

CapMan Plc complies with the guidelines for insiders

issued by the Helsinki Stock Exchange that entered into force on 1 January 2006. CapMan has supplemented the general guidelines with its own set of internal insider guidelines, which are in part stricter than the general guidelines. The public insider registers are regularly distributed to permanent insiders for inspection. The Group's Senior Legal Counsel is responsible for insider issues.

The public insiders of CapMan Plc are the members of the Board of Directors, the CEO, Deputy CEO, members of Management Group and auditors including the auditor in charge, in accordance with the Securities Market Act. In addition, the company specifi c insider register includes the CEO's Executive Assistant, CFO, Chief Accountant, Financial Controller, Performance Monitoring Offi cers, Communications Director and Legal Counsels. The insider register for CapMan Plc is held by the Finnish Central Securities Depository Ltd. A list of CapMan Plc's insiders and their holdings of shares and stock options is updated monthly on the Company's website at www.capman. com.

Employees of CapMan Group are not permitted to trade Company shares or stock options without the permission of the CFO. Trading is completely forbidden in the fourteen-day period prior to publication of the Company's fi nancial results.

Auditor

CapMan shall have one auditor (a public accountant company or auditor) approved by the Central Chamber of Commerce, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association. The auditor is elected by the AGM for a one-year term, which terminates at the closing of the following AGM. CapMan Plc's auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy and auditor in charge Mr Jan Holmberg, Authorised Public Accountant, are

CapMan_2osa_fglENG.indd 75 20.2.2008 11:52:42

responsible for guiding and coordinating the auditing work of the entire Group.

In accordance with the decision by the AGM, the auditor shall be remunerated as per the amount invoiced. The auditor's remuneration for the 2007 fi nancial year amounted to €128,000.

Risk management and internal control and audit

Clear fi nancial and other operational objectives are specifi ed for all of CapMan's teams. CapMan has an internal code of practice and risk management program for the achievement of set objectives and minimisation of associated risks. Major risks are published, provided that the information does not contain confidential information pertaining to CapMan's business.

The CFO acting as the Head of Internal Services is responsible for drafting and updating an internal control program, which also covers the statutory control of the funds and their activities. The aim of the internal control program is to ensure that:

  • authorisations for effecting payments in the Group and funds are clearly defi ned
  • authorisations for entering into undertakings on behalf of the Group are clearly defi ned
  • the Group and funds comply with their related obligations.

The major risks associated with CapMan's business are the failure of fundraising and the resignation of key personnel from the Company. Successful fundraising depends in the long-term on successful investment and exit activities, which in turn largely depend on the professional expertise of the personnel. CapMan strives to minimise the risks and maximise the returns associated with investments by means of deliberate investment strategies and criteria, a phased investment decision-making process and a welldiversified portfolio of investee companies. Additionally, CapMan participates actively in the business development of its portfolio companies to manage risks and grow returns, for example through work on the companies' Boards of Directors.

Investor Relations and Communications

CapMan's IR and Communications teams serve the Company's various stakeholder groups by giving information about CapMan's strategy, operations, objectives and business environment in a way that will give the correct picture of CapMan as an investment and partner.

The Company's releases, Annual Reports and share-related information can be viewed on the Company's website at www.capman.com.

Board of Directors

The members of the Board of Directors are elected by the Annual General Meeting for a one-year term, which commences at the closing of the Meeting and continues until the closing of the following AGM. The Board elects the Chairman and the Vice Chairman among themselves.

According to the Articles of Association the Board of Directors comprises between three and nine members, who do not have deputy members. The members of the Board are Ari Tolppanen (Chairman), Teuvo Salminen (Vice Chairman), Sari Baldauf, Tapio Hintikka, Lennart Jacobsson and Urban Jansson. Personal and background information on Board members is presented on CapMan's website at www. capman.com.

In 2007 the AGM resolved to pay monthly compensation of €3,500 to the Chairman and €3,000 to the Vice Chairman and other members of the Board. Compensation is not paid to those Board members who are employed by CapMan Group. The total remuneration paid to the members of the Board in 2007 was €136,500. Members of the Board may also be remunerated for Board work with stock options in accordance with the decision of the AGM.

The Board met eight times in 2007 and the average participation rate of its members was 100 per cent.

With respect to the size of the Company and its Board of Directors, the Board of CapMan Plc has decided not to establish any committees. However, the Board has decided to pay special attention in its own work to risk management, external auditing and internal control.

The majority of members of the Board (Sari Baldauf, Tapio Hintikka, Urban Jansson and Teuvo Salminen) are independent of CapMan Plc. Lennart Jacobsson and Ari Tolppanen are not independent of the Company, as they are employed by CapMan Group as well as major shareholders in the Company.

Report of the Board of Directors

BUSINESS

CapMan is an alternative asset manager and its core business is private equity fund management and advisory services. The funds under management invest mainly in unlisted Nordic companies or real estate assets. CapMan Plc's income derives from management fees from the funds, carried interest from funds generating carried interest, returns on direct fund investments made from CapMan Plc's own balance sheet, and returns on real estate consulting.

CAPMAN PLC'S BUSINESS AREAS

CapMan has two business areas: CapMan Private Equity (management of private equity funds making investments in portfolio companies) and CapMan Real Estate (management of private equity funds making real estate investments and providing real estate consulting). The funds investing in portfolio companies focus mainly on the Nordic countries in three investment areas: middle market buyouts (CapMan Buyout); technology investments (CapMan Technology); and life science investments (CapMan Life Science). The private equity real estate funds focus on real estate targets mainly in Finland and Sweden.

Information about each business area is reported in its own segment in interim reports. The associated company Access Capital Partners has been included in the Group's fi gures under CapMan Private Equity. As far as funds are concerned, Access Capital Partner's fi gures are presented separately.

TURNOVER AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2007

CapMan's turnover in 2007 increased to €51.6 million (2006: €38.0 million), mainly as a result of the growth in carried interest income.

The amount of management fees paid by the funds, €24.6 million (€24.9 million), remained at the level of the previous year. CapMan started receiving management fees from CapMan Technology 2007 and CapMan RE II funds during the review period, whereas the amount of fees received from older funds decreased due to exits implemented during the year.

Carried interest income received by CapMan totalled €23.6 million (€9.4 million). The sale of CapMan Real Estate I fund's portfolio accrued carried interest totalling €21.0 million, of which the share belonging to the parent company shareholders was €13.4 million. The remaining €2.6 million was accrued from carried interest received from other funds generating carry.

The impact of fund investments made from CapMan's own balance sheet totalled €6.2 million (€4.4 million). Realised returns on the investments were €0.5 million (€0.9 million), and fair value gains/losses relating to fund investments were €5.7 million (€3.5 million). Fair value losses were recorded in the last quarter due to valuation changes of certain individual investments and expenses incurred by new funds. As a whole the fair value of fund investments has developed favourably in 2007 and their return exceeds CapMan Plc's targeted annual return level of 15%. The aggregate fair value of all fund investments made from CapMan's own balance sheet was €44.2 million at 31 December 2007.

Returns on real estate consulting operations totalled €2.1 million (€2.0 million) and other operating income within turnover was €0.8 million (€0.8 million). Operating expenses were €27.7 million (€26.6 million). The slight increase in expenses refl ects the organisation's growth in 2007. The cost level in 2008 is expected to increase somewhat from the cost level in the last quarter of 2007 as a result of the establishment of CapMan Hotels RE fund.

The Group's operating profi t was up to €29.8 million (€15.6 million). The share from the associated companies' result increased to €1.9 million (€1.3 million) mainly with value creation in the portfolios of the Maneq funds, which are included in CapMan's associated companies. Profi t before taxes was €32.7 million (€17.3 million) and profi t after taxes €24.2 million (€12.4 million). Profi t attributable to the parent company shareholders was €18.6 million (€11.5 million), representing earnings per share of €0.24 (€0.15). The

CapMan_3osa_fglENG.indd 81 19.2.2008 17:59:36

preliminary fi gures for earnings per share announced on 16 January 2008 were more closely defi ned with exact fi gures from associated company Access Capital Partners.

Carried interest income and fair values of fund investments may fl uctuate strongly between quarters and therefore CapMan's fi nancial performance should be examined over a longer time span than quarterly.

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION AT 31 DECEMBER 2007

The amount of non-current assets in the balance sheet increased to €74.9 million during the fi nancial year (€57.1 million at 31 December 2006). Fund investments from CapMan's own balance sheet increased and their fair value at year-end was €44.2 million (€33.1 million). Long-term receivables amounted to €16.2 million (€13.8 million). Of the receivables, €11.6 million (€10.1 million) was loan receivables from the Maneq funds. Maneq funds are co-investors in portfolio companies with the funds managed by CapMan, and their investors are CapMan and CapMan's personnel. Goodwill was €4.8 million (€4.8 million) and it was mainly allocated to the acquisition of Swedestart Management AB in 2002. The Company's net cash assets including current investments were €34.6 million (€16.9 million). The Company had interest-bearing liabilities worth €16.0 million (€11.9 million).

CapMan's equity ratio at the end of the fi scal year was 57.6% (71.6%). Return on equity for the period was 38.9% (23.4%) and return on investment 44.2% (29.9%). The Company has target levels of at least 50% for the equity ratio and over 25% for return on equity.

PROPOSAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR PROFIT DISTRIBUTION

CapMan Plc's objective is to distribute at least half of the net profi t in dividends. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of €0.16 per share (€0.12), which equals to 67% (80%) of the net profi t, will be distributed to shareholders for the year 2007.

Of this, €1,164.5 million (€918.1 million) was in the funds of funds and €1,162.0 million (€719.4 million) in private equity investment mandates.

The size of the fund was €241.0 million as at 31 December 2007 and fundraising continues.

FUNDS GENERATING CARRIED INTEREST AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2007

A private equity fund begins to generate carried interest after the investors have regained their investment and generate a preferred annual return, usually 7–8%. During the year CapMan Real Estate I and Finnventure V funds began to generate carried interest, and of these funds CapMan Real Estate I is still in the active investment phase. At the end of 2007 the following funds were in carry:

* Net share of cash fl ows, taking into consideration Fenno Management Oy's share as far as Fenno Program is concerned and Corintium Oy's and the investment team's shares as far as CapMan Real Estate I is concerned.

** The fund still continues active investment operations. Of the portfolio at fair value, €56.1 million is fi nanced with debt.

The current portfolios of funds generating carried interest amounted to €161.5 million at fair value, which is 17.0% of the total fair value of all portfolio funds at 31 December 2007 (€952.7 million). Information about each fund's investment targets is presented on CapMan's website at www.capman.com/En/InvestorRelations/ Funds.

CapMan's share of carried interest received from funds generating carry is generally 20–25% of a fund's cash fl ow in respect of funds that were established before 2004, and 10–15% with respect to newer funds. The lower carried interest percentage for newer funds results from a share of the carried interest being distributed to the members of the investment team who have been responsible for the funds' investment activities during the funds' life cycle (generally 10 years), in accordance with common practice in the private equity investment industry.

CAPMAN'S OWN INVESTMENTS IN THE FUNDS

Since 2002 CapMan Plc has been a substantial investor in the funds managed by the Group. The Company invests from its own balance sheet about 5–10% of the total capital in equity funds that invest in portfolio companies. The aim of investing in own funds is to improve the Company's return on equity and to even out fluctuations in income with returns from these investments. The investments made have been valued at fair value in accordance with EVCA guidelines. There may be quarterly variations in fair value gains/losses due to changes in the value of investment targets as well as to realised exits and the expenses incurred by funds.

CapMan, like other investors, gives commitments to the funds when they are established. As at 31 December 2007 the total sum of current investments at fair value and remaining commitments was €100.2 million (€83.6 million at 31 December 2006), of which remaining commitments totalled €56.0 million (€50.5 million). Of these, €23.2 million is allocated to the CapMan Buyout VIII fund, €12.4 million to the CapMan Technology 2007 fund and the remainder mainly to the CapMan Life Science IV, CapMan Mezzanine IV, CapMan Equity VII and Access Capital Fund II funds. The commitments will be drawn down gradually within the next 3–5 years as new investments are made. Fund investments for the year totalled €15.4 million (€13.2 million). The majority of investments were made in CapMan Buyout VIII fund. The fair value of cumulative fund investments made from CapMan's own balance sheet was €44.2 million (€33.1 million) at year-end.

OTHER EVENTS IN 2007

In the last quarter of 2007 CapMan Plc sold its 20% holding in Baltcap Management Oy to company management. The sale does not impact on CapMan Plc's result for 2007 or on the effective carried interest agreements of Baltcap's Baltic Investment Fund III and Baltic SME Fund. CapMan continues to co-manage the aforementioned funds with Baltcap Management Oy and Evli Bank Plc after the transaction.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

On 18 January 2008 CapMan Plc established CapMan Hotels RE Ky, a private equity real estate fund investing in hotel real estate. The fund reached €835 million at fi rst closing and the maximum fund size is €1,100 million. In connection with its establishment, the fund acquired a portfolio of 39 hotels with a transaction value of €805 million from Northern European Properties Ltd (NEPR).

17 Finnish institutions have committed €292 million of equity into the fund to date, with the balance comprising senior debt. The fund is open to new investors for twelve months and the maximum amount of equity capital will be €400 million.

CapMan Hotels RE Oy, which is 80% owned by CapMan Plc and 20% owned by Corintium Oy, acts as CapMan Hotels RE Ky's management company. The management company's own commitment into the fund is €5 million. The establishment of the fund is estimated to have a slightly positive impact on CapMan's result for 2008.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Market and investment activities

Private equity investment in Europe is expected to show growth in the mid-term and long-term, as institutional investors and other substantial investor groups have added private equity investment to their investment allocations. In addition private equity investment has consolidated its position in fi nancing M&A and growth, and its growth in the Nordic countries is further accelerated by consolidation in various sectors, family successions, privatisation of public services and functions, the strong contribution of R&D in the technology and life science sectors and increasing entrepreneurial activity. Real estate market growth is speeded up by accelerated structural change, in which particularly pension companies transfer real estate investments from their balance sheets into funds.

CapMan will continue to implement its Nordic investment strategy as far as the funds investing in portfolio companies are concerned. The turmoil in fi nancial markets which labelled the second half of 2007 has not been directly visible in CapMan private equity's investment activities so far. Banks have continued to fi nance M&A in CapMan's market segment of middle market buyout transactions. Based on our experience the markets have returned to so-called normal levels as far as enterprise values and debt ratios are concerned, following a couple of highly aggressive and active years. The number of new potential investee companies has remained at a good level and there are attractive opportunities for syndicated investments in technology and life science sectors. Turbulence in fi nancial markets has also not been visible in exit markets thus far, but a deepening of instability may refl ect on the funds' exits by postponing realisations.

The local presence of CapMan's Buyout, Technology and Life Science teams across the Nordic countries enables the active searching for investee companies throughout the Nordic region, and the teams have comprehensive resources for value creation in portfolio companies via active work on the companies' Boards of Directors. CapMan is in a good position to continue as a proactive player in the private equity market, as its funds making investments in portfolio companies have approximately €690 million in capital for new and followon investments.

The instability in fi nancial markets has been visible in real estate markets towards the end of the year as a slightly weaker liquidity, and in Finland overall sales volumes for 2007 are expected to fall to some extent from the previous year. Rising interest rates and banks' increasing reluctance to grant loans will impact on competition and property values in the industry, and we see that the use of equity in real estate transactions will increase. High prices will still be paid for good core targets in future, whereas a rise in yield requirements is expected in more opportunistic targets. Leasing activity and demand for offi ce and retail properties have been strong. There are many new projects under construction, which will have an effect on the supply of premises especially in the offi ce segment.

CapMan's private equity real estate funds have adequate personnel resources, a competitive structure and aggregate investment capacity of some €340 million for seeking good investment targets and developing the current portfolio. The resources, combined with the team's reliability and fl exibility, have provided the funds with lots of investment opportunities. We anticipate that the establishment of our new hotel real estate fund in January 2008 will further strengthen our market position, and we believe that individual properties that suit our funds' investment focuses will also be available in the future and will enable our funds to achieve their targets.

CapMan Plc Group

CapMan's strategy is to exploit growth opportunities within the alternative asset class. In addition to CapMan's existing business lines (Private Equity and Real Estate) the alternative asset class includes, among others, infrastructure investment, forestry investment and active public market funds. CapMan is at present exploring opportunities to expand geographically into Russia and to establish a fund investing in public markets based on CapMan's value creation expertise. We aim to concretise the projects during 2008.

Management fees and returns on real estate consulting operations cover CapMan's fi xed expenses. The Group's result for 2008 will depend on how many new exits are made by funds already generating carried interest; on whether new funds transfer to carry; and on

CapMan_3osa_fglENG.indd 85 19.2.2008 17:59:36

how the value of investments develops in those funds in which CapMan is a substantial investor. According to our understanding CapMan Equity VII A, B and Sweden funds, Finnventure Fund IV and Finnmezzanine III A and B funds will begin to generate carry during 2008 and 2009. The funds have several exit processes underway.

We expect that our portfolio companies and real estate assets will develop favourably in 2008. However the prevailing unstable situation in fi nancial markets may refl ect, as a result of the changes in listed peers' valuations, on the fair value of the funds' investment targets and hence also refl ect on the fair value of the Group's fund investments in 2008.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

CapMan Plc ("CapMan") is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Helsinki, Finland. CapMan's core business is private equity fund management and advisory services. The funds under management invest mainly in unquoted Nordic companies or real estate assets.

The Group's fi nancial statements for 2007 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in conformity with the IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations in force at 31 December 2007. The information in these fi nancial statements is presented in thousands of euros.

Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of all Group companies and associated companies excluding inoperative subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are enterprises in which the Group has the control (the Group acquires or has the power over more than one half of the voting rights or it has the power to govern the operating and fi nancial policies of the other enterprise as a result of a statute). Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control of the net assets and operations of the enterprise is effectively transferred to CapMan for acquired subsidiaries, and to the date when CapMan's control has expired for divested subsidiaries. Subsidiaries have been consolidated to the Group Financial Statements in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. For subsidiaries acquired on or subsequent to 1 January 2004, the excess acquisition cost over the Group's interest in the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date is recognised as goodwill. All intercompany transactions, intercompany receivables and liabilities as well as intra-Group dividends have been eliminated.

Minority interests are presented separately in the income statement and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet. A share of accumulated loss is separated only to the extent the defi cit is covered by minority shareholdings.

Associated companies

The associated companies have been consolidated in accordance with the equity method. An associated company is an entity in which the Group has signifi cant influence (more than 20% of the voting rights), but does not have the control. Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the company's net assets less any impairment in value. The Group's share (based on its holding) of the associated companies' net profi t for the fi nancial period has been reported under fi nancial items.

Translation difference

The result and fi nancial position of each of the Group's business units are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment for that unit ("functional currency"). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in euros, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group's parent company.

Transactions in foreign currencies have been recorded in the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transactions; in practice a reasonable approximation of the actual rate of exchange on the date of the transaction is often used. Foreign exchange differences for operating business items are recorded in the appropriate income statement account before operating profi t and for fi nancial items are recorded in fi nancial income and expenses. The Group's foreign currency items have not been hedged.

The fi nancial statements of foreign subsidiaries have been translated into euros at the average year-end exchange rate. The same exchange rate has been used in translating the income statement and the balance sheet, as the change caused by exchange rate fl uctuations has been assumed to be minimal. Translation differences caused by changes in exchange rates for the cumulative shareholders' equity of foreign subsidiaries have been recognised in shareholders' equity.

When a subsidiary is wholly or partially divested, the cumulative amount of the translation differences is recognised in the income statement under profi t or loss. Translation differences arising prior to 1 January 2004 have been recorded under the translation differences fund, and the exemption allowed by the IFRS 1 standard has not been used.

As of 1 January 2004, the goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation have been treated as part of the assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated into euros at the year-end exchange rate. For acquisitions before 1 January 2004 the goodwill and fair value adjustments have been recorded in euros.

Tangible non-current assets

Tangible non-current assets have been reported in the balance sheet at their acquisition value less depreciation according to plan. Assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are:

Machinery and equipment 4–5 years
Other long-term expenditure 5 years

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to refl ect changes in the expected economic benefi ts as necessary.

Goodwill

CapMan_3osa_fglENG.indd 88 19.2.2008 17:59:37

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the acquired enterprise (subsidiary or associated company) over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill arising from acquisitions prior to 1 January 2004 is recognised as the carrying value at cost in accordance with accounting principles applicable at the date of acquisition.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets are recognised in the balance sheet only if the cost of the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefi ts that are attributable to the asset will fl ow to the Group. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations that are classifi ed as acquisitions are recognised in the balance sheet separate to goodwill, provided that they meet the defi nition of intangible assets and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are expensed in the income statement by the straight-line method over their useful lives (maximum ten years). The carrying amount is assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Impairment of assets

The Group reviews all assets for indications that the value of an asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount of the asset in question is estimated. The recoverable amount is also measured annually independent of indications of impairment for the following assets: goodwill, intangible assets with indefi nite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use.

The need for impairment is assessed on the level of cash-generating units, in other words at the smallest identifi able group of assets that is largely independent of other units and cash infl ows from other assets. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset less costs to sell or value in use. The value in use refers to the expected future net cash fl ow projections, which are discounted to the present value, received from the asset in question or the cash-generating unit. The discount rate used in measuring value in use is the rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset. Impairment is recorded directly in the income statement as an expense. The recoverable amount for fi nancial assets is either the fair value or the present value of expected future cash fl ows discounted by the initial effective interest rate.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset is below the carrying amount, and it is recognised in the income statement immediately. An impairment loss of a cash-generating unit is fi rst allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets of the unit pro rata. An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that an impairment loss may have decreased and the carrying amount of the asset has changed from the recognition date of the impairment loss.

The increased carrying amount due to reversal is not more than what the depreciated historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. An impairment loss of an equity investment that has been classifi ed as an available-for-sale fi nancial asset is also not reversed through profi t and loss. In accordance with IAS 39 the receivables carried at amortised cost accrue interest income at the discount rate used to measure impairment after impairment has been recognised.

The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, due to events and circumstances that may increase the probability of impairment.

Financial instruments

The Group's fi nancial instruments have been classifi ed according to the IAS 39 standard (amended in 2004) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement into the following categories:

  • 1) fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss,
  • 2) held-to-maturity investments,
  • 3) loans and other receivables, and
  • 4) available-for-sale fi nancial assets.

Classifi cation is made on the basis of the purpose of the acquisition of financial instruments at the time of initial recognition. Transaction costs have been reported in the initial cost of fi nancial assets, excluding items valued at fair value through profi t and loss. All purchases and sales of fi nancial instruments are recognised on the trade date. An asset is eligible for derecognition and removed from the balance sheet when the Group has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash fl ows or when it has substantially transferred all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset outside of the Group.

The fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss group has been divided into two subcategories:

  • 1) held for trading, and
  • 2) upon initial recognition designated as at fair value through profi t and loss.

Financial assets are classifi ed as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of generating a profi t from short-term fl uctuations in price and fi nancial assets with a maturity less than 12 months are included in current assets. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Both unrealised and realised gains and losses caused by changes in fair value are reported in the income statement for the fi nancial period in which they arise.

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value using market values at the balance sheet date. In case there is no market price available at the balance sheet date, the fair value is determined using recent arm's length transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, or discounted cash fl ow analysis. Most of the available-for-sale fi nancial assets are fund investments, for which fair value is calculated by using the guidelines of the European Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (EVCA) valuation principles and, taking into account the valuation principles in IAS 39 for the fair value of investments that are not quoted in an active market, using multiples based on the current performance level of the portfolio companies. Investments for which fair value cannot be reliably estimated are valued at cost less any permanent impairment losses.

Loans and other receivables

Loans and other receivables include the Group's fi nancial assets arising from the transfer of cash or services to a debtor. Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are reported in current and non-current fi nancial assets (the latter if their maturity exceeds 12 months) and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method in case of signifi cant deviation from the nominal rate. Gains and losses are recognised as income when the investments are derecognised or impaired. Impairment is recognised if there is objective evidence that the value of the item in question has been impaired at the balance sheet date.

Trade and other receivables

CapMan_3osa_fglENG.indd 89 19.2.2008 17:59:37

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Provision is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts under the original terms and conditions. The Placement Agent Fee relating to fundraising has been amortised over fi ve years.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash in banks and in hand and liquid shortterm deposits. Short-term investments to third party funds have been categorised as financial assets at fair value through profi t and loss and are presented in that category.

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value on the basis of the consideration. Transaction costs are reported in the initial book value of the fi nancial liability. After initial recognition all financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are reported in non-current and current liabilities and they may be interest bearing or non-interest bearing.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised in case the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outfl ow will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made.

Pensions

The Group has defi ned contribution pension plans in accordance with the local regulations and practices of its business domiciles. Payments to defi ned contribution pension plans are charged to the income statement in the fi nancial period to which they relate. The pensions have been arranged through insurance policies of external pension institutions.

Employee benefi ts

The Group has applied IFRS 2 Share-based Payment standards to all stock option programs in which options have been granted after 7 November 2002, and to which rights have not been vested before 1 January 2005. Expenses on prior stock option programs have not been reported in the income statement. The fair value of stock options is assessed at the grant date and expensed in even instalments in the income statement over the vesting period of the rights. The fair value is determined using the Black & Scholes pricing model.

The Group offers a sabbatical program for key personnel based on the number of years of full-time work for the Company. The liability of the sabbatical has been estimated and recorded on the basis of probability.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The following specifi c recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

    1. Management fees paid by the funds are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the agreement terms on an ongoing basis.
    1. Carried interest received from the funds is accounted for when the portfolio company has been exited and the whole fund has entered into the carried interest phase. An exit has been closed when the approval has been received from the Competition Authority and when all signifi cant risks and benefi ts related to the portfolio company have been transferred to the buyer. Potential repayment risk to the funds (clawback) will be considered when assessing if the revenue recognition criteria have been fulfi lled, for example in the event that express or implied representations and warranties have been given by the vendor in the purchase and sale agreement, and if the whole fund is towards the end of its lifecycle or if a reversion under the attained hurdle rate is probable.
    1. Realised returns on fund investments are recognised in the income statement within turnover either as returns on fund investments or alternatively they are included in fair value gains/losses of investments. Realised cash fl ows in those funds in which CapMan is a substantial investor are recognised in the balance sheet under investments, until the total capital is returned. The cash fl ow generated after the capital

has been returned is recognised in the income statement under returns on fund investments.

  1. Consulting fees are recognised when the service has been rendered.

Income taxes

Tax expenses in the consolidated income statement comprise taxes on taxable income and changes in deferred taxes for the fi nancial period, Taxes on taxable income for the fi nancial period are calculated on the basis of the tax rate in force for the country in question. Taxes are adjusted on the basis of deferred income tax assets and liabilities from previous fi nancial periods, if applicable. The Group's taxes have been recognised during the fi nancial year using the average expected tax rate.

Deferred taxes are calculated on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes have only been recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi t will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The largest temporary differences arise from the valuation of investments at fair value. Deferred taxes are not recognised for non-tax deductible amortisation of goodwill. Deferred taxes have been measured at the statutory tax rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date.

Application of new and amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations

The IASB has published the following standards and interpretations whose application will be mandatory in 2008 or later. The Group has not early adopted these standards, but will adopt them in later periods.

The following standards and interpretations will be adopted by the Group in 2008:

– IFRIC 11, 'IFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions' provides guidance on whether sharebased transactions involving treasury shares or involving group entities should be accounted for as equity settled or cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the stand-alone accounts of the parent and group companies. This interpretation does not have any impact on the Group's fi nancial statements.

The following new standards and interpretations effective in 2008 are not relevant to the Group's operations:

  • IFRIC 12, 'Service Concession Arrangements' applies to contractual arrangements whereby a private sector operator participates in the development, fi nancing, operation and maintenance of infrastructure for public sector services.*
  • IFRIC 14, 'IAS 19 The Limit on a Defi ned Benefi t Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction' is applied to post-employment defi ned benefi t plans and other long-term defi ned benefit plans under IAS 19, if the plan includes minimum funding requirements. The interpretation also clarifi es the criteria for recognition of an asset on future refunds or reductions in future contributions.*

In 2009 the Group will adopt the following standards published by IASB:

  • IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements' (Revised) is aimed at improving users' ability to analyse and compare the information given in fi nancial statements by separating changes in equity of an entity arising from transactions with owners from other changes in equity. Management is assessing the impact of this revision on the fi nancial statements of the Group.*
  • Amendment to IAS 23, 'Borrowing Costs' requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or

CapMan_3osa_fglENG.indd 90 19.2.2008 17:59:37

production of qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs will be removed. Management is assessing the impact of this amendment on the fi nancial statements of the Group.*

  • IFRS 8, 'Operating Segments' replaces IAS 14, The new standard requires a 'management approach', under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The expected impact is still being assessed in detail by the management.
  • IFRIC 13, 'Customer Loyalty Programmes'. IFRIC 13 clarifi es that where goods or services are sold together with a customer loyalty incentive, the arrangement is a multiple-element arrangement and the consideration receivable from the customer is allocated between the components of the arrangement using fair values. IFRIC 13 is not relevant to the Group's operations because none of the Group's companies operate any loyalty programmes.*

In 2010 the Group will adopt the following standards published by IASB:

– IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations' (Revised). The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some signifi cant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with some contingent payments subsequently remeasured at fair value through income. Goodwill may be calculated based on the parent's share of net assets or it may include goodwill related to the minority interest. All transaction costs will be expensed. Management is assessing the impact of this revision on the fi nancial statements of the Group.*

– IAS 27, 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' (Revised). The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control. They will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifi es the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss. Management is assessing the impact of this revision on the fi nancial statements of the Group.*

* The revision, amendment or interpretation to published standards is still subject to endorsement by the European Union.

Standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2007

The following standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory in 2007:

  • IFRS 7, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' and the complementary amendment IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements – Capital Disclosures', introduces new disclosures relating to fi nancial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from fi nancial instruments, including specifi ed minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk. The amendment to IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity's capital and how it manages capital.
  • IFRIC 8, 'Scope of IFRS 2' requires consideration of transactions involving the issuance of equity instruments, where the identifi able consideration received is less than the fair value of the equity instruments issued in order to establish whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 2. This interpretation does not have any impact on the Group's fi nancial statements.

– IFRIC 10, 'Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment' prohibits the impairment losses recognised in an interim period on goodwill and investments in equity instruments and in fi nancial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a subsequent balance sheet date. This interpretation does not have any impact on the Group's fi nancial statements.

Standards, amendment and interpretations effective in 2007 but not relevant

The following standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory in 2007 but they are not relevant to the Group's operations:

  • IFRIC 7, 'Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinfl ationary Economies';
  • IFRIC 9, 'Re-assessment of Embedded Derivatives'.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRS standards requires the management of the Group to make estimates and assumptions in applying the accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions have an impact on the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities in the balance sheet of the fi nancial statements and on the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have substantial impact on the Group's operating result. Estimates and assumptions have been used in impairment of goodwill, intangible and tangible assets, in determining the useful economic lives and in reporting of deferred taxes, among others.

Leases

All of the Group's leasing arrangements are classifi ed as operating leases, as the risks and benefi ts of ownership remain with the lessor. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis.

Impairment testing of goodwill

The majority of goodwill is targeted to CapMan's 2002 acquisition Swedestart Management AB whose remaining goodwill was €4.5 million as at 31 December 2007. In the transaction CapMan acquired operations related to the management of certain funds as well as a skilled technology and life science investment team. The management of these Swedish funds and the advisory service provided by the technology and life science teams to the rest of the management companies forms a cash-generating unit. Potential impairment has been tested by using estimated future discounted cash fl ows. Cash fl ow projections have been prepared for fi ve years, and periods beyond management's review period have been extrapolated taking into consideration the average business cycle. The management fees of the current funds are based on long-term agreements and the income is discounted using an 9.20% (2006: 8.75%) discount rate. Potential carried interest income has not been taken into account. Based on the impairment test there was no need to write down the goodwill. However, the carrying amount of goodwill is sensitive to the success of fundraising. The goodwill may be impaired in future in the event that the funds' size is less than estimated or in case of delays in the fundraising process.

30. RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management principles

Clear fi nancial and other operational objectives are specifi ed for all CapMan teams. CapMan has an internal code of practice and risk management program for the achievement of set objectives and minimisation of associated risks.

a) Business risks

Risks related to fundraising and funds' investment activities

A major risk associated with CapMan's business is the failure of fundraising. Successful fundraising depends in the long-term on successful investment and exit activities, which in turn largely depend on the professional expertise of the personnel. CapMan strives to minimise the risks and maximise the returns associated with investments by means of deliberate investment strategies and criteria, a phased investment decision-making process and a well-diversifi ed portfolio of investee companies. Additionally, CapMan participates actively in the business development of its portfolio companies to manage risks and grow returns, for example through work on the companies' Boards of Directors.

Risks related to human resources

HR development and retention of key personnel in CapMan's organisation are critical factors from the point of business development. CapMan strives to control risks related to competencies and training and to minimise the risk of losing key personnel from the organisation with the assistance of HR development programs.

b) Financial risks

Market risks are due to changes in the rates or prices of currencies, interest, commodities, energy and securities. These changes may have substantial impact on the Group's result, cash fl ow and balance sheet. The major risk associated with investments is related to fund investments, which are valued at fair value in accordance with European Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (EVCA) guidelines. The fair value is therefore signifi cantly affected by the cash fl ow generation capacity of portfolio companies and changes in market interest rates. Additionally, changes in the overall market environment of the portfolio companies may be refl ected in the discount rate used in fair value calculation or in cash fl ows.

Foreign currency risk

The Group's revenues are predominantly in euros. Most expenses are denominated in euros, but also in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian crowns. The funds under management invest in portfolio companies in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. According to the management, foreign currency risk has not been considered as material and therefore it has not been hedged.

Credit risk and counter-party risk

The main part of the Group's business is based on agreements made with the funds, whereby the Group is entitled to receive management fees, advisory fees and carried interest income. The credit risk is signifi cantly affected by the funds' ability to generate positive cash fl ow.

Liquidity risk

CapMan_3osa_fglENG.indd 98 19.2.2008 17:59:38

CapMan maintains suffi cient liquidity by means of effective cash management. Given the unpredictable business environment, CapMan maintains fi nancial fl exibility by means of long-term credit limit agreements. Additional to the drawn loan, the Group's credit limits totalled €6 million at the end of 2007.

31. EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSING DATE

On 18 January 2008 CapMan Plc established CapMan Hotels RE Ky, a private equity real estate fund investing in hotel real estate. The fund reached €835 million at fi rst closing and the maximum fund size is €1.1 billion. In connection with its establishment, the fund acquired a portfolio of 39 hotels with a transaction value of €805 million from Northern European Properties Ltd (NEPR).

17 Finnish institutions have committed €292 million of equity into the fund to date, with the balance comprising senior debt. The fund is open to new investors for twelve months and the maximum amount of equity capital will be €400 million.

CapMan Hotels RE Oy, which is 80% owned by CapMan Plc and 20% owned by Corintium Oy, acts as CapMan Hotels RE Ky's management company. The management company's own commitment into the fund is €5 million. The establishment of the fund is estimated to have a slightly positive impact on CapMan's result for 2008.

Some is used as draw down later when the General Partner calls capital from investors in its funds. Usually a fund investor (limited partner) commits to provide a certain amount of capital to a private equity fund, and the General Partner draws down commitments in several stages when the funds makes new investments.

Vacancy rate

One of the most important key fi gures in real estate investment. The vacancy rate describes the total amount of available space compared to the total inventory of space as a percentage for a specifi c part of the market. To calculate the vacancy rate, the utilised space (occupancy rate) is subtracted from the total inventory of space.

Value added

A term that describes the risk/return profi le of real estate investment activities. Value added properties are located in established offi ce and industrial estates with opportunities to enhance value creation through active leasing and development operations. Value added properties typically have shorter leases than core properties, and they may have vacancy. Net rental income is between that of core and opportunistic properties.

Venture capital

Venture capital is, strictly speaking, a subset of private equity and refers to equity investments made to fund the launch, early development or expansion of an unquoted and usually quite young company. Offsetting the high risk the investor takes is the expectation of higher than average return on the investment. See Private equity.
