Henrik Blomquist CEO

During the third quarter, the majority of our portfolio companies registered robust increases in value despite the ongoing pandemic, continued restrictions, and reduced economic activity. The listed portfolio increased in value by approximately SEK 2,500M, or 22 per cent. This increase was also reflected in Bure's net asset value per share, which registered an overall increase of 17.7 per cent during the quarter.

The stock market's recovery from the heavy losses of February and March continued into the third quarter. The Six Return Index increased 12.9 per cent, and in September – perhaps surprisingly – returned to the same high levels seen prior to the outbreak of corona.

During the quarter, portfolio company Xvivo Perfusion acquired Dutch company Organ Assist. Similar to Xvivo, Organ Assist is present in the transplant segment, although is primarily focused on organs such as kidneys and the liver. Xvivo currently has products and solutions for heart and lung transplants, and with the acquisition, it will be the first company in the world that has products in all the major organ groups. This transaction was partly financed by Xvivo making a directed rights issue totalling SEK 500M in which Bure invested around SEK 32M.

At the time of writing, we are seeing a considerable and partly unforeseen increase in the number of people infected with corona. This increase has, amongst other things, resulted in new restrictions and lockdowns in many large European cities. Unfortunately, this means that it is too early to say that we are past the worst and that we are returning to a normalised market situation. It is reasonable to assume that corona will continue to have a negative impact going forward. However, our portfolio companies have so far shown great skill in managing the crisis and thereby adapting to prevailing market conditions.

Financing of respective portfolio companies shall be appropriate to each company's specific circumstances, such that overall risk is managed through a balance between operational and financial risk. Bure's 2019 annual report provides a detailed description of the Group's risk exposure and risk management in the administration report and in Note 21. Bure's assessment is that no significant risks have arisen other than those described in the annual report and in this interim report.

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Bure Equity AB and the Group as of 30 September 2020 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

NOTE 1 – Accounting policies

Bure applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed for application in the EU. This interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The Group's accounting and valuation policies are described in Note 1 in the annual report 2019.

New accounting principles that took effect on 1 January 2020: New additional IFRS standards are judged to not have a significant impact on Bure's results or financial position. Bure continually updates its analysis of upcoming changes to accounting principles.

NOTE 2 – Segment reporting

Reporting by operating segment

Bure has previously accounted for segments in a similar manner and no changes have taken place in the basis for segmentation or in calculation of profit/loss in the segments compared to the previous year's annual report. Consolidation adjustments relating to positive and negative goodwill have been attributed to the respective companies. Transactions between the various segments are insignificant in scope and are equal to less than 0.1 per cent of total sales. Dormant companies or companies not classified as portfolio companies are reported under the heading "Other companies". No customer accounted for more than 10 per cent of net sales during the periods.

NOTE 2 – Segment reporting, cont.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a new revenue standard that replaces existing standards and guidance on revenues. The standard does not have any material effect on the Group's net sales, either in terms of amounts or periodicity. From 1 January 2018, the Group classify revenue as: consultancy income, licensee income, and other income.

Other income	10	30	38	64	91
Net sales	61	80	187	265	382

Note 3 – Effects of changed estimates and assumptions

Key accounting estimates and assumptions are presented in Note 1 of the annual report for 2019. No changes have been made in these accounting estimates and assumptions that could have a material impact on this interim report.

NOTE 4 – Financial instruments

The Group's financial assets and liabilities are classified according to IFRS 13 under the following three categories.

Level 1: Listed prices on an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other observable data for the asset or liability other than listed prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Data for the asset or liability that is not entirely based on observable market data.

Bure reports listed holdings at fair value with changes in value in the income statement (Level 1).

For investments in unlisted holdings (Level 3), in the first auditing instance Bure has made an active choice to use equity method in accordance with IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Thus, holdings in unlisted associated companies Alcur Fonder AB, BioLamina AB, Fondbolaget Fondita Ab, Life Genomics AB, My Driving Academy Sweden AB, ScandiNova Systems AB and Teknik Innovation Norden Fonder AB have not been revaluated according to IFRS 9. The introduction of IFRS 9 requires other financial assets to be assessed on an ongoing basis. Atle Investment Services AB is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atle Investment Management AB and is valued at book value.

In Bure's net asset value table, (see page 2), Bure has chosen to revalue all financial assets based on International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) guidelines. These guidelines outline various methods for the determination of the fair value of respective holdings. Considerable emphasis is placed on recent market transactions in the company, for example new share issues or the acquisition of existing shares. Transactions in comparable companies may also be used. Other valuation methods include discounting forecasted cash flow with relevant discount rates, and by applying valuation multiples such as EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBITA, EV/EBIT and PER adjusted for different market, operational and risk profiles. In general, an illiquidity discount for unlisted assets is also applied.

Valuation of unlisted assets at 30 September 2020.
