Henrik Blomquist CEO
In this quarterly report we once again have the pleasure of announcing the completion of a new investment, and thereby the addition of a new portfolio company. In September we invested SEK 189M in Cavotec, which is listed on Nasdaq OMX.
Cavotec is a global engineering group that provides products and systems for ports, airports, mining and the general industrial sector. Cavotec is undergoing an exciting transformation phase from a supplier of smaller components for major industry operators to a high-tech product-owning industrial concern that can deliver complete systems and projects.
Cavotec has had a successful history since its formation by three entrepreneurs almost 40 years ago. Patrik Tigerschiöld from Bure has been elected to the company's board of directors and my hope is that Bure, as a long-term and financially strong owner, can assist the company in the above mentioned transformation. Following this investment, Bure holds a total of 10 per cent of the share capital and votes in Cavotec.
Volatility in the stock market increased during the third quarter and although index ended around the same level as at the start of Q3, nearly all of the year's gains were erased in the first few weeks of August. Despite this, Bure's net asset value showed continued positive development in the quarter, with net asset value per share up by over 7 per cent.
After dividends received from Mycronic in August, as well as the completed new investments and share buybacks after the end of the period, Bure today has more than SEK 300M in investable assets.

| GROUP | Bure is an investment company, which meansthat the Group's composition ofsubsidiaries and associated companies variesin pace with acquisitions and divestitures. Since this makesthe consolidated income statement difficult to analyse, it is more meaningful to look at the develop ment and position of the companies on an individual basis. More detailed information about the portfolio companies can be found on pages 5–8. |

IAS 28 "Investments in Associates", describes the accounting treatment for associated companies. The standard has been amended so that there is no longer any restriction for the Group to measure its associated companies at fair value. The earlier standard required measurement at fair value only if the designation at fair value was made on initial recognition. Under the new standard, an entity may always choose to value its holdings at fair value provided that it is an entity that according to the standard may measure associated companies at fair value, which the Group is. The standard has been applied for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2014 and the Group has decided to measure all holdings in listed associated companies at fair value, which has led to retrospective restatement through which opening equity at 1 January 2013 has increased by SEK 70.7M and the income statements for the first nine months of 2013 and the third quarter of 2013 have been affected by a positive value change of SEK 242.4M and SEK 8.7M, respectively.
| Results for the third quarter of 2014 |
Profit after tax was SEK 209M (121). Dividends amounted to SEK 93M (1), of which SEK 93M was attributable to the listed portfolio company Mycronic. Capital gains/losses on short-term investments totalled SEK -1M (14). Fair value changes amounted to SEK 122M (110), of which listed portfolio companies accounted for SEK 144M. Of this amount, Cavotec accounted for SEK -5M, MedCap for SEK -13M, Mycronic for SEK -33M, PartnerTech for SEK -15M, Vitrolife for SEK 184M, Xvivo Perfusion for SEK 26M and the decrease of value of short-term investments for SEK 22M. Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 10M (7). Net financial items totalled SEK 3M (3). |

|
| Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 31M (25). Net financial items totalled SEK 9M (10).

The net result of the transactions was an increase in equity in the Parent Company by SEK 52M. |
|
| Financial position | Equity in the Parent Company at the end of the period was SEK 3,046M (2,418) and the equity/ assets ratio was 99 per cent (93). Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the Parent Company at the end of the period are reported at SEK 490M (688), of which short-term investments accounted for SEK 406M (630). External interest-bearing receivables amounted to SEK 19M (18). Receivables from subsidiaries totalled SEK 244M (301). |
| Acquisitions | In September Bure acquired 7.14 million shares in Cavotec SA, which is listed on NASDAQ OMX Mid Cap, through a directed share issue for a value of SEK 189.2M. Bure's holding in Cavotec amounts to 7.89 million shares, which corresponds to 10.0 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding in the company. |
| Acquisitions, cont. | In June Bure Equity AB signed an agreement with Livränteanstalten Hereditas to acquire 20.1 per cent of Fondbolaget Fondita Ab, a leading independent manager of equity funds in Finland. Bure completed the acquisition of 20.1 per cent of Fondbolaget Fondita Ab in October 2014 after gain ing approval from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. In March Bure acquired 8.15 million shares, equal to a holding of 9.98 per cent in Catella AB (publ), which islisted on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, for a value of SEK 48.3M. Bure hasthereafter acquired additionalshares and currently holds 10.4 per cent of the share capital and 10.8 per cent of the votes. |
|---|---|
| Divestitures | In May 2014 Bure sold its holding in Theducation AB, equal to 79.8 per cent, to a company controlled by Anne Lindblad Danielson in accordance with a resolution passed by the Annual General Meeting of Bure Equity on 24 April 2014. The transaction had an immaterial effect on profit. |
| Bure's loss carryforwards |
At the end of 2013 the Bure Group had total loss carryforwards of SEK 671M, of which SEK 481M referred to the Parent Company. As a result of the merger with Skanditek Industriförvaltning, which took place in 2010, loss carryforwards of SEK 110M were transferred to the Parent Company. The loss carryforwards in the Parent Company will be suspended until the end of 2015 in respect of the merger between Bure and Skanditek. The loss carryforwards in the subsidiaries will be available to offset against taxable profits in certain wholly owned subsidiaries. The deferred tax asset based on loss carryforwards in the Group has been valued at SEK 15M (19). |
| Currency exposure | Most of the Group's revenue is denominated in SEK and EUR. The underlying costs are normally generated in the same currency as revenues, which means that transaction exposure is limited. Since the Group has investments outside Sweden via its subsidiaries, the consolidated balance sheet and income statement are exposed to translation differences arising on the translation of the foreign subsidiaries' accounts. |
| Ownership structure | Bure'slargestshareholders at 30 September 2014 were Nordea Investment Funds with 14.2 per cent, the estate of Dag Tigerschiöld with 12.1 per cent, Patrik Tigerschiöld with 7.8 per cent and the Björkman family with 6.9 per cent. The number ofshareholders at 30 September 2014 was 19,576. |
| Related party transactions |
No transactions with related parties have taken place during the period from January to September 2014. |
| Subsequent events | No events have taken place after the balance sheet date which could have a material impact on assessment of the financial information in this report. |
| Significant risks and uncertainties |
In view of rapid changesin the financial markets, a special emphasisis placed on monitoring the effects of these on Bure'sinvestments and their valuations. Bure has a number of basic principlesfor management of risks. Bure's finance policy statesthat the Parent Company shall be essentially debt free. Furthermore, each portfolio company shall be financially independent from the Parent Company, which meansthat the Parent Company is not financially liable for obligationsin the portfolio compa nies and that the portfolio companies are responsible for their own financing arrangements. Financing of the respective portfolio company shall be well adapted to each company'sindividualsituation, where total risk is managed through a balanced spread between operational and financial risk. Bure's annual report for 2013 provides a detailed description of the Group'srisk exposure and risk manage ment in the administration report and inNote 21. Bure's assessment isthat no significant risks have arisen other than those described in the annual report and thisinterim report. Stockholm, 13 November 2014 |

We have reviewed the interim report of Bure Equity AB as of 30 September 2014 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.
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.
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.
