30 years of building value CapMan is a versatile private assets expert

CapMan's business has continued to grow during 2018 and is increasingly versatile. Fee-based income grew by more than 20% and fee-based profitability grew by more than 100%. We continued to renew CapMan and the year was very eventful. We are building CapMan into a leading Nordic private assets expert.

The positive financial development follows a successful completion of recent growth initiatives. During the last 18 months, we have established a Growth fund, two new Real Estate funds and one new Infra fund. In addition, we have completed several investment mandates. During the year, we have raised more than €500 million in new capital under management and expanded our service business. We completed 20 new investments and 15 exits last year and many of our funds demonstrate top quartile performance.

Increased demand for private assets

The diversification of our business reflects the growing demand for unlisted investments. Our customers wish to increase their allocation to private assets, which include investments in real estate and infrastructure in addition to traditional private equity. Simultaneously, many investor segments have so far had limited access to private assets. By expanding our product portfolio to include e.g. more open-ended products, we are able to better serve new investor categories.

Infrastructure becomes a new cornerstone

Our recent infrastructure investment ini tiatives are an example of our expansion into new business areas. During 2018, the Infra team grew by several new investment professionals, completed their first invest ments and established a fund, which already exceeds €140 million. The fund that invests in Nordic mid-market energy, transport and telecom infrastructure has gained a lot of traction and achieved a first close quickly. Nordic infrastructure investing resonates with international investors and we believe that the fund's investor base will broaden further in 2019. The team recently received a mandate from large Korean investors to in vest in a major Swedish wind park, demon strating the confidence that international investors have in the team and in CapMan.

Real estate investing becomes more diverse

CapMan has one of the largest real estate investment teams in the Nordics, which en ables us to serve investors on a broad scale. We have continued to develop various real estate strategies over the past year. Nordic Real Estate I and II funds deploy a value-add strategy by investing mainly in Nordic office, retail and residential real estate. Another example of our versatile approach is our

co-operation with BVK, Germany's largest pension insurance company, since 2016. At the end of 2018, we expanded our mandate from BVK to invest in residential real estate in the Nordics.

Other real estate investment strategies have also developed favourably. Nordic Property Income fund is an open-ended fund investing in stable income generating properties in the Nordic countries. The fund grew and made new investments in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. The cashflow-focused Hotels fund has new and extended leases in its portfolio.

An active transaction year for Growth and Buyout funds

Funds investing in portfolio companies also had an eventful year. The Growth fund completed its first exit, the sale of Sales force solutions provider Fluido to a global technology company. The exit was very successful to all fund investors, of which CapMan is the largest with an approx. 30% stake in the fund. The fund also made three new investments in Finnish growth compa nies. Our Buyout funds benefited from the positive developments in the capital markets in the beginning of 2018 and successfully exited several companies. The most recent Buyout fund, established in 2012, has to date already exited four of the fund's origi nal 11 investments.

"The positive financial development follows a

successful completion of recent growth initiatives."

The service business is growing

The service business grew as planned dur ing the year. CapMan's procurement service CaPS grew both in Finland and in Sweden as a result of larger procurement volumes and new member companies. Scala Fund Advisory successfully completed sever al international fundraising projects. We continue growing our service business in the upcoming years.

Stock market turbulence impacted the trading portfolio

Despite the positive development in our core business, our earnings per share in 2018 were lower compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to increased uncer tainty in the capital markets especially in the last quarter of the year, which had a

negative impact on the value of our trading portfolio. We have sold down our trading portfolio by approx. €35 million in 2018. Our objective is to hold approx. 80% of our investments in private assets and the remainder in liquid instruments.

30 years of building value

CapMan turns 30 in 2019. When we started our business in 1989, the world was less open and more linear. Today, fund investors, buyers of our portfolio companies and real estate and portfolio company customers are increasingly international. A single investment decision can have widespread consequences. As a result, we rely increas ingly on our values as the foundation for our operations. We are an active owner with strong ethics, dedicated to entrepreneurial development and growth. We build value for our shareholders, our customers, our portfo lio companies and their stakeholders, our real estate tenants, and society as a whole.

PRIVATE EQUITY: GROWTH Flexible minority investments

Within a short time frame, the five-strong Growth team has developed its growth company-focused fund into a core constituent of CapMan's product portfolio and investment business income.

CapMan's growth investment story began as direct growth investments became part of CapMan's portfolio following the acquisition of Norvestia. At the end of 2017, operations contin ued following the establishment of an €86 million Growth fund. The fund has made minority investments in growth companies with excellent results: In 2018, the value of the portfolio had increased by more than 27%. The overall success of all Growth investments across the board has been a particularly positive development over the fund's lifespan.

The Growth team's strategy was tested in the successful exit of Fluido. Fluido's accomplishments were underpinned by the growth in Salesforce technology combined with a rapidly established market leadership position in the Nordics and an excellent management team. The exit returned invested capital to investors approximately fivefold.

Growth investments occupy the zone between Venture and Buyout

The Growth team focuses on companies, which have evolved beyond the high-risk start-up phase and require capital and expertise in their next growth stage.

– Our activities spur strong growth and know-how for the benefit of the society as a whole: nine of our portfolio companies have recruited more than 4,000 employees in the past five years, says Juha Mikkola, Managing Partner of Growth.

The portfolio companies of the Growth fund represent the finest of Finnish growth-driven entrepreneurship. Last year, the fund completed three new investments in Arctic Security, a cyber security special ist; RealMachinery, a full-service machinery company; and Avidly, Europe's leading HubSpot service provider. In addition, the Growth fund made a significant add-on investment in Digital Workforce, an Intelli gent Process Automation services and AI solutions developer.

In contrast with Venture investors, Growth does not take on technology risk, but instead invests in tested products and services with an established customer base and significant turnover. Although Growth is a minority investor, the team is capable of making larger investments with equity stakes ranging between €15 million and €2 million. Generally, the amounts grow larger if Growth acquires shares from existing owners.

Juha continues: – Our portfolio companies currently generate everything between €120 million and less than €5 million in turnover. Although they vary significantly in size, the common denominator for all of them is a desire to continue rapid growth also in the future.

Focus on growth, co-operation and culture

Growth follows a well-rounded recipe for success with three main ingredients: growth, co-operation and culture. Growth opportunities and ambitions are central when assessing potential investments. The company must operate in a sufficiently large market in order to develop services and solutions in its home markets as well as internationally. The growth strategy can be implemented either organically or through acquisitions. Industry or size is of second ary importance as the most critical factor is the Growth team's ability to grow the com pany into a category leading business.

A second important aspect for suc cess is co-operation. All investors work in a slightly different manner and while the company assesses its investors, Growth also assesses the company management and their expertise. The skilled investor and advisory network, which includes successful entrepreneurs and investment professionals with vast experience from developing similar growth companies, supports the Growth team in its analysis. Growth is an active mi nority investor working through the Board of Directors of its portfolio companies, but the most critical value-add is created outside the boardroom.

Juha explains: – Our team and network are prepared to invest our combined know-how into securing the success of the company, although we leave the decision-making to the entrepreneur.

The third ingredient is culture, compris ing portfolio company culture, investment team culture and fund investor culture. A healthy company culture is an enormous as set, which helps steer the entire organisation towards common goals. Analysing the team of a potential portfolio company is especial ly important when selecting investments, as functioning businesses are built around good teams. Culture that fosters growth and devel opment is built from within, which emphasis es the role of the entrepreneur.

– If the team is selected correctly, it is easy to trust the entrepreneur's vision and instinct, says Juha.

Although the building blocks are similar, every growth company is unique. There fore, flexibility is important when assessing investment options. Entrepreneurs can conduct a partial exit and realisation of already created value by selling shares held by current owners, issuing new shares, or combining these options based on needs. At the same time, the Growth team provides an opportunity for the company to start a new growth phase together with a strong partner.

The Growth fund made a minor ity investment in Arctic Security, a company focusing on cyber security.

CORPORATE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS STATEMENTS GROUP

CapMan Buyout's portfolio company Harvia was listed on Nasdaq Helsinki in March 2018. The initial public offering was oversubscribed.

FINANCIAL

REPORT 2018 GOVERNANCE

2018 has been a successful year for Buyout. In the renewed Buyout team, solid experience meets the new generation.

CapMan is best known for majority investments, in other words buyouts, that the company has executed in the Nordic countries for 30 years. During the past year, the Buyout team has gone through a generational change. The team has renewed its profile and developed its expertise internally. Professionals with long ex perience have handed over opportunities to new talents and key team members have been made into new partners. The collective experience of these professionals gives rise to new initiatives in the field of buyouts.

Extensive experience combined with new leadership is demon strated in Buyout's way of creating value for portfolio companies. Pia Kåll, Managing Partner in charge of Buyout for two years, comments: – The focus has shifted from transactions towards value creation, in which the strategy development and its implementation in portfolio companies plays a key role. We are even more focused on op erational expertise, and our team has experience from various sectors.

"The focus has shifted from transactions towards value creation"

The new profile is also strongly visible in the results of portfolio companies. During the past year, portfolio company turnover in the newest Buyout fund has increased 21% and gross profit has grown 15%. Recent exits from the fund exits have more than doubled the capital returned to the investors and the internal rate of return was 27% for exits made in 2018.

Strong business culture as a key to success

Buyout has emphasised the importance of business culture over the years. A success ful business culture is customer and sales focused, embraces a strong entrepreneurial spirit and values a goal oriented approach. This manifests in the selection of portfolio companies as well as in the value creation phase of the company during the invest ment period. An excellent example of a

strong business culture is Buyout's port folio company Forenom, which is a leading serviced apartment provider in the Nordic region. Forenom's positive and proactively customer-oriented approach is also reflect ed in the result of the company.

The new generation of leaders recognises business culture as a key component in value creation and also measures its effects. The Buyout team has analysed the significance of culture on value creation in portfolio com panies, and the impact has been substantial. In the latest 30 investments, a successful business culture combined with solid growth in the gross margin increased gross income by 55% compared to all investments. By comparison, investments that demonstrated a steady gross margin growth but lacked a strategy supporting a strong business cul ture, ended up with lower results on average.

Creating Nordic prosperity

Investments in portfolio companies are also investments in the growth of society and jobs. During the last 10 years, every one million euros invested in a Buyout fund has generated 10 full-time jobs.

The Buyout team operates locally in Helsinki and Stockholm, which enables the utilisation of local networks, sourcing of new portfolio companies and recruitment of key professionals. The Nordic network also provides support with the internationalisa tion of target companies.

– Our Nordic heritage is an important part of our identity but also a differentiating factor, Pia says.

Buyout supports internationalisation

During 2018 the Buyout funds exited five target companies. The most noteworthy transaction was the listing of the Finnish sauna and spa company Harvia on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Harvia's domestic growth story is an excellent example of how the Buyout team facilitates the internation alisation of operations. In addition to being an essential part of Finnish everyday life and culture, the sauna experience is receiv -

ing a lot of international attention. Wellness products and concepts related to sauna are in high demand around the world, and thanks to private equity Harvia has been able to meet this demand.

Other exits during the year were Walki, a technical packaging material and lami nate manufacturer; The North Alliance, a consortium of Nordic communications and advertising agencies; Infocare, a Nordic ICT producer; and MPT, which serves clients in the welding, steel and foundry industries.

The Buyout team is assembled, the tenth Buyout fund portfolio is in a good value cre ation and exit stage and the team's focus is clear. The outlook for 2019 is promising.

CapMan Buyout exited five portfolio companies in 2018, among others the Pan-Scandi navian design, communications, and technology consortium The North Alliance.

REAL ESTATE Value creation through hands-on asset management

CapMan Real Estate is a Nordic real estate investor that counts on local expertise and market knowledge. The entre preneurial team endorses open dialogue, which creates a solid foundation for strong performance over market cycles.

Real Estate in an active asset manager that adds value to its investments through hands -on asset management such as tar geted redevelopment, change of use, leasing, repositioning, and optimising the expense and capital structure of an asset.

The Nordic property market is highly heterogenic and cyclical requiring in depth market knowledge from an investor. Having a thorough understanding of the local property market such as knowing the characteristics and key value drivers of each market segment is a prerequisite for making realistic underwriting assumptions for new investments. Accordingly, Real Estate has offices in its core markets in Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

Funds focused on active value creation

Real Estate's value-add funds provide strong risk-adjusted returns to investors by investing in assets that typically provide both in-place income and significant capital appreciation potential obtainable through active asset management.

CapMan Real Estate's first Pan Nordic value-add fund was launched in 2013. The €273 million fund made 22 investments across the four Nordic countries. By the end of 2018, 10 investments had already been exited returning 71% of the total invested capital. Mika is extremely pleased with the fund's performance: – CapMan Nordic Real Estate I is outperforming its original targets with a clear margin both on a mark-to-market and forecast basis. There are still some ongoing value-add works to be finished up in the remaining assets, but we expect the fund to be fully divested by the end of 2022.

Real Estate launched its second Pan-Nordic value-add fund in August 2017. The €425 million CapMan Nordic Real Es tate II was oversubscribed 1.5 times over its original target size, demonstrating the trust institutional investors have in the team. By the year-end 2018, the fund had done more than 10 investments in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. 68% of fund's equity has already been committed providing the in vestors with a good visibility of the portfolio composition at an early stage of the fund. Fundraising for the third value-add fund will

commence once 75% of equity raised for the previous fund has been called.

– If the current investment pace continues, we expect to start raising funds for the next value-add fund by the end of 2019, says Mika.

Cash flow is king in income strategies

Real Estate also manages funds that invest in assets with a lower risk profile where yields are based mainly on strong and predictable rental income. The latest new investment product in this fund category is a 2017-established Nordic Property Income Fund, which is an open-ended fund (non-UCITS) investing in income generating commercial properties in the largest and

most liquid Nordic cities. The fund made four new investments across the Nordics during 2018, and the team believes that the size of the fund will exceed €200 million of

equity in the coming year. Another income focused fund is CapMan Hotels Real Estate, which was established in 2008. The €333 million fund has 32 assets in Finland and Sweden. The fund's lease portfolio is very strong based on long-term co-operation with tenants and properties. Real Estate has recently prolonged 11 leas es in the fund with Scandic Hotels Group and Lapland Hotels, thereby extending the weighted average lease length of the portfolio to over 19 years. In addition, all leases now include a turnover-based rent component, in addition to the fixed mini -

mum rent. Real Estate continues adding value to the assets through targeted investments, seeking additional build ing rights enabling redevelopment of existing sites, and pursuing new hotel concepts with operators. The fund sold seven non-core assets in 2018 in ac -

cordance with its updated strategy.

Mandates as a service concept

In addition to discretionary funds with multiple investors, Real Estate serves institutional investors through segregated investment mandates. In 2016 Real Estate won a mandate from Bayerische Ver -

sorgungskammer (BVK), Germany's largest pension scheme group, to invest in resi dential real estate across the Nordics. The fund's gross asset value increased to over €800 million when it acquired a 37-asset, residential portfolio in Finland at the end of 2018. Real Estate continues to seek suitable investments to the mandate across the larg est cities in the Nordics. Mika sees future potential in expanding the mandate with BVK, or signing new investment mandates in the future: – Our institutional approach to making and managing investments coupled with our local market knowledge and expertise is something that our clients really value. As a Pan-Nordic core residential mandate did not overlap with any of our existing fund products, we were able to take on this mandate with BVK. Furthermore, we are continuously looking for new ways to serve our growing, global customer base, and we believe that the number of segregated investment mandates will grow in the future.

Real Estate's investment themes and ge ographic focus are supported by prevailing megatrends, such as accelerating urbanisa tion and changing demographics.

– The capital regions in Nordic countries continue to benefit from increasing urbanisation and net migration. Also, many large infrastructure projects are currently moulding the capitals and creating attractive opportunities for investors. The Nordic property market is full of value creation opportunities for an active real estate investor, Mika concludes.

CapMan Infra completed its second investment on behalf of Korean investors in a large onshore wind farm in Sweden. 15 Infra CAPMAN ANNUAL

INFRA Responsible ownership in Nordic infrastructure

2018 was a pivotal year for Infra, the most recent investment area at CapMan. The core investment team was formed, the business made its first investments and the team celebrated a first close for the maiden infrastructure fund.

Infra invests in essential energy, transportation and telecom munication infrastructure in the Nordic countries. Essential infrastructure could, for example, mean energy generation and distribution infrastructure, i.e. district heating networks, electric ity networks, heat or electricity generation plants. Ville Poukka, Managing Partner at Infra and a recent addition to CapMan's management team, explains: – The common denominator for our investments is that they are asset heavy companies with stable cash flow and monopolistic characteristics in their business, which often means captive demand in certain geographic regions or sites where client relationships are based on long-term contracts, concessions or regulation. So far, we have invested in district heating and electricity distribution networks in Finland and wind parks in Sweden.

Strong interest from international investors

CapMan is a leading Nordic private assets house with a strong midcap and value creation focus in its home markets. This is also the vision for Infra and highlighted by the fundraising of the midcap infrastructure fund, CapMan Nordic Infrastructure I, focus ing on core / core+ brownfield infrastructure investments in energy, transportation and telecommunication in the Nordic countries. The fund reached its first close in October and received more than €140 million in investor commitments by the end of 2018. The fundraising process to reach the first closing was relatively quick and based on strong investor interest for the local and ac tive value creation strategy. The strongest in vestor interest initially came from CapMan's

core investor base of Finnish institutional and pension investors. Ville is optimistic regarding fundraising going forward: – Fundraising will continue for most of 2019 with an expected increasing appetite from international institutional investors and family offices. A niche midcap strategy focusing on infrastructure investing in the stable Nordic countries with strong local presence and sector knowledge seems to be especially appealing to many European and Asian investors.

An active year

Last year was extremely exciting in terms of development and growth also beyond the establishment of the fund. The team made its first investment, which was a mandate deal to invest €70 million in the leading Finn ish electricity network and district heating

company Elenia. The team also worked on the investment in a major wind park develop ment in Sweden in a mandate deal for Korean NHIS and NH-Amundi, which was closed and announced in early 2019. Besides working on occasional mandates, the team was busy de veloping a strong deal pipeline for the midcap infrastructure fund, expecting the first invest ments for the fund to materialise in 2019.

Infra is present in its core markets with a Nordic investment team located in Stock holm and Helsinki. The team consists of infrastructure professionals with experience from Nordic leading investment banks, inter national infrastructure investors and senior operational experts from energy and trans portation sectors. Operational experience from team members that have led successful infrastructure businesses in the energy and transportation sectors also counts.

Responsible practices at the core of operations

Infra strives to support the development and growth of Nordic infrastructure companies through channelling private capital from institutional investors to situations where as set owners want to reallocate their resourc es to their other businesses or sectors. This could mean a company focusing its invest ments to its core manufacturing operations instead of passive infrastructure in the industrial site, or a municipality releasing capital from its energy company holdings to finance a new school or a nursing home.

Infrastructure companies in energy, transportation and telecommunications are deeply embedded in the local society, regu lated and under strict public scrutiny – often also with municipal or governmental owner ship. Infra recognises its overriding respon sibility of being a trustworthy and ethical owner to these critical infrastructure assets. In practice this means careful scrutiny of all investments from a financial, environmental and societal perspective.

Ville describes his team's mission: – Our ambition, together with the employees in our portfolio companies, is to improve and create value for society including our investors and our customers. In practice, this might mean sustainable and high-quality heating, electricity distribution or transportation services to the public, for example.

SERVICES: CAPS Procurement as a service concept

Product and service procurement outside the core business and indirect spend are a necessary evil in many companies. It is usually carried out alongside more strategic operations without further passion and objective. This very challenge was noticed in CapMan's portfolio companies. But what happens if efficient and resolute procurement becomes a service?

This discovery is crystallised in the business idea of CapMan's CaPS Procurement Services. Maximilian Marschan, the founder of CaPS, noted a weak link in many businesses and started to create a procurement-centred service concept. Maximilian has highlighted the importance of providing a value-add service since the beginning: – The members, our customers, are central to our concept. It is not just about achieving cost advantages but also easing the whole procurement process and making it more efficient.

In practice, CaPS consolidates the member companies' indi rect procurement (e.g. IT services, transportation and travelling) and carries out tenders. At the end of a tender CaPS selects one supplier together with its member companies to serve all

members. There are over 90 recognised in direct procurement sectors and 82 tendered categories in Finland and 53 in Sweden. High volumes generate favourable pricing and delivery terms that otherwise would be out of reach for an individual company. For the supplier partners, in turn, the network brings new customers and a chance to offer service and product concepts to a wider customer base in an exclusive and secure environment.

CaPS and the community around it have grown fast in recent years. At the end of the year, there were 80 member companies in Finland and 51 in Sweden. The procurement volumes increased 22% in 2018 to reach €180 million in total, which is impressive because the business was built from scratch nine years ago. In addition to solid domes tic growth, CaPS has focused on growth in Sweden during the last year. The Swedish market still offers many possibilities, and the team is considering launching the successful service concept to other Nordic countries.

Broad service offering as a competitive advantage

Besides remarkable savings, a CaPS member company receives a tool kit for comprehensive contract management and savings monitoring, as well as a turnkey Em ployee Benefit Scheme to develop member companies' employee satisfaction. Every CaPS member has access to all available

contracts with price and delivery terms. The service also includes a summary of po tential savings that a company can achieve by introducing new contracts. CaPS has invested a lot in the development of the new reporting tool in order to serve its members and suppliers as comprehensively as possi ble and in a user-friendly manner.

Networking, development of best prac tices and exchanging ideas is a big part of the CaPS concept. The members meet each other in events organised by CaPS. Maximil ian highlights the power of having a strong network: – While we pool procurement for member companies, we can also utilise the network for philanthropic efforts. For the fifth year in a row, together with our network, we have raised funds for children and young people at risk of social exclusion through the Tukikummit Foundation. Over the years, donations through CaPS have exceeded 600,000 euros! In 2018, the campaign raised more than 110,000 euros from a total of 75 companies in our network.

Environmental responsibility

Due to high procurement volumes, CaPS provides its members with solutions that help companies reduce their environmental load. A new project of CaPS is to map and report suppliers' carbon emissions. So far, we have compiled information from about 20 suppliers and the member companies are finding the increased transparency very positive. Maximilian sees the new reporting as merely the beginning: – Our goal is to pro- vide our suppliers with the correct tools to track and calculate their carbon footprint, follow the development of emissions as a service to our member companies and utilise suppliers' data as a part of procurement criteria. By creating the demand, we can together encourage our partners towards lowering emissions and developing environmentally friendly solutions.

CaPS relies on teamwork

Successful fast-paced services are a result of a carefully constructed team. CaPS team members share a common value system, internally referred to as the right mental attitude, which means that all decisions are always made from the customers' and suppliers' points of view and that the ser vice is as responsive and comprehensive as possible. The customer satisfaction surveys speak for themselves, as CaPS constantly reach over 9 points on a 10-point scale.

All team members in this high-perfor mance team have a background in compet itive sports. The pace is fast and the profits are gained through helping customers and suppliers.

The shared values lead everyone to speak the same language and understand the importance of co-operation in achiev ing goals. Together, the team has built the CaPS concept and its various components systematically through an iterative process. Every new team member gets their own CaPS guidebook on their first day of work, which strengthens their best practices and encourages their responsibility and ability to take initiative. Through coaching and continuous challenging, the team constantly achieves goals that first seemed impossible.

– In our team, we want every day to be better than yesterday, Maximilian sums up.

CaPS and its member companies and partners raised more than €110,000 for underprivileged youth. The donation was handed to Sauli Niinistö, the President of the Republic of Finland and the Honorary Chair of the Tukikum mit Foundation.

8 Internal control and risk management pertaining to the financial reporting

The internal control and risk management pertaining to the financial reporting process is part of CapMan's overall internal control framework. The key roles and responsi -

bilities for internal control and risk man agement have been defined in the group's internal guidelines which are approved and updated by the management and/or the Board of Directors of the company.

CapMan's internal control and risk management concerning financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assur ance concerning the reliability, compre hensiveness and timeliness of the financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, generally accepted ac counting principles and other requirements for listed companies. The objective is also to promote ethical values, good corporate governance and risk management practices and to ensure the compliance with laws, reg ulation and CapMan's internal policies.

8.1 General description of the financial reporting process

CapMan's operating model is based on having a local presence in Finland, Swe den, Denmark and Russia, and operating the organisation across national borders. CapMan's subsidiaries in six countries re port their results on a monthly basis to the parent company. The bookkeeping function is mainly outsourced.

Financial information is assembled, cap tured, analysed, and distributed in accord ance with existing processes and procedures. The group has a common reporting and con solidation system that facilitates compliance with a set of common control requirements.

The monthly accounting entries of the most significant subsidiaries are transferred to the Group's reporting system on an entry-by-en try level. The other subsidiaries submit their figures either monthly or quarterly to the group accounting to be inserted to the group reporting system for consolidation. The reported figures are reviewed in subsidiar ies as well as in group accounting. Group accounting also monitors the balance sheet and income statement items by analytically reviewing the figures. The consolidated ac counts of CapMan are prepared in compli ance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

8.2 Control and risk management of the financial reporting process

The Board has the overall responsibility for the proper arrangement of internal con trol and risk management over financial reporting. The Board has appointed the Audit Committee to undertake the more specific tasks in relation to financial re porting process control such as monitoring the financial statements reporting process, the supervision of the financial reporting process and monitoring the efficiency of the company's internal control. The Audit Committee also reviews regularly the main features of the internal control and risk management systems pertaining to the financial reporting process.

The management of the group is re sponsible for the implementation of internal control and risk management processes and

for ascertaining their operational effective ness. The management is also responsible for ensuring that the company's accounting practices comply with laws and regulations and that the company's financial matters are managed in a reliable and consistent manner.

The CEO leads the risk management process by defining and allocating respon sibility areas. The CEO has nominated the group's CFO as risk manager to be in charge of coordinating the overall risk management process. The risk manager reports to the Audit Committee on matters concerning internal control and risk management. The management has allocated responsibility for establishing more specific internal control policies and procedures to personnel in charge of different functions. The group's management and accounting departments possess appropriate levels of authority and responsibility to facilitate effective internal control over financial reporting.

8.3 Risk assessment and control activities

CapMan has defined financial reporting objectives in order to identify risks related to the financial reporting process. The risk assessment process is designed to identify financial reporting risks and to determine how these risks should be managed.

The control activities are linked to risk assessment and specific actions are taken to address risks and achieve financial reporting objectives. Financial reporting risks are managed through control activities performed at all levels of the organisation. These activities include guidelines and instructions, approvals, authorisations, veri fications, reconciliations, analytical reviews, and segregation of duties.

In the annual strategy process of the group, the identified risks are reviewed, the risk management control activities are au dited and effects of potential new identified risks on the strategy are evaluated. The objectives and responsibilities of the risk management process as well as the deter mination of the risk-appetite were updated during 2018.

8.4 Information and communication pertaining to the financial reporting CapMan has defined the roles and respon sibilities pertaining to financial reporting as an essential part of the group's information and communication systems.

In terms of internal control and financial reporting information, CapMan's external and internal information is obtained system atically, and the management is provided with relevant information on the group's activities. Timely, current and accessible information relevant for financial reporting purposes is provided to the appropriate functions, such as the Board, the manage ment group and the monitoring team. All external communications are handled in accordance with the group disclosure policy, which is available on the company's website: https://www.capman.com/shareholders/ statements-policies/disclosure/

8.5 The organisation and monitoring of internal control activities

To ensure the effectiveness of internal con trol pertaining to financial reporting, mon itoring activities are conducted at all levels of the organisation. Monitoring is performed through ongoing follow-up activities, sep arate evaluations or a combination of the two. Separate internal audit assignments are initiated by the Board or management. The scope and frequency of separate evalua tions depend primarily on the assessment of risks and the effectiveness of ongoing monitoring procedures. Internal control de ficiencies are reported to the management, and serious matters to the Audit Committee and the Board.

Group accounting performs monthly consistency checks of income statement and balance sheet for subsidiaries and business areas. The group accounting team also conducts management fee and cost analysis, quarterly fair value change checks, impairment and cash flow checks as well as control of IFRS changes. The Audit Committee and the Board regularly review group-level financial reports, including com parison of actual figures with prior periods and budgets, other forecasts, monthly cash flow estimates and covenant levels. In addi tion, the Audit Committee monitors in more detail, among others, the reporting process (including the management's discretionary evaluations), risk management, internal control and audit. 26 Corporate Governance Statement CAPMAN ANNUAL

The monitoring team, which is independ ent from the investment teams, is responsi ble for the quarterly valuation process, mon itoring and forecasting fair value movements and preparing the models for and calculat ing carried interest income for the funds under the management of the Group..

CapMan's subsidiaries CapMan Real Es tate Ltd and CapMan AIFM Ltd both hold a license to act as alternative investment fund manager granted by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. For these compa nies CapMan has arranged separate risk management and internal audit functions as required by applicable laws.

The compliance function oversees that the operations of the CapMan group comply with regulation and that the group compa nies will adopt the relevant new regulations promptly.

The group's Compliance Officer is responsible for insider management.

CapMan maintains project-specific in sider lists for the projects which may have a significant effect on the prices of the finan cial instruments issued by CapMan. These project-specific insider lists will be drafted and maintained in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation and the internal policies of the company and are established following a decision to delay disclosure of inside information.

CapMan has defined the Board and Management Group members (including the CEO) as 'persons discharging managerial re sponsibilities' pursuant to the Market Abuse Regulation and publishes the transactions by managers and their closely associated persons with the financial instruments issued by CapMan in case the total value of all transactions exceeds EUR 5,000 within a calendar year.

Group turnover and result in 2018

The Group's turnover totalled MEUR 36.0 (Jan-Dec 2017: MEUR 34.8). The growth in turnover was mainly due to the increase in management fees and fees from servic es, which were MEUR 32.5 (MEUR 26.7) combined and grew by 22 per cent from the comparison year.

Operating expenses were MEUR 29.1 (MEUR 33.0). Excluding MEUR 4.2 in items affecting comparability in 2017, expenses were stable.

Fair value changes of investments were MEUR 5.1 (MEUR 17.6). The smaller change compared to the comparison period was mainly due to the MEUR 5.7 decrease in the fair value of the trading portfolio especially in the last quarter of the year.

The Group's operating profit was MEUR 12.0 (MEUR 19.5).

Financial income and expenses amount ed to MEUR -2.7 (MEUR -3.2) and it includ ed an arrangement fee of MEUR 0.2 related to the pay back of MEUR 30 bond. Financial expenses decreased due to the repayment of the bond in Q4 2017 and the repayment of the bond and the bank loan in Q2 2018. Profit before taxes was MEUR 9.3

(MEUR 16.2) and profit after taxes was MEUR 8.5 (MEUR 15.5). Profit before taxes and profit after taxes for the comparison period were significantly affected by the exit from Idean, which contributed a total of MEUR 9.4 before taxes and MEUR 7.5 after taxes.

Turnover generated by Service business totalled MEUR 8.7 (MEUR 5.6) and the growth consisted mainly of the success fees of Scala Fund Advisory offering fundraising and advisory services and the continued strong growth in net sales of procurement service CaPS.

Investment business

Turnover of the Investment business was MEUR 2.5 in 2018 (MEUR 3.7 in 2017) and comprised dividend and interest income from financial assets held for trading. Turn over decreased due to disposal of assets from the trading portfolio during the review period.

Operating profit for the Investment business was MEUR 6.5 (MEUR 17.3). Profit for the Investment business was MEUR 4.2 (MEUR 13.7). The significantly lower profit of the Investment business compared to the previous year was mainly due to the MEUR 5.7 decrease in fair value of the trading portfolio during the last quarter of the year in line with general market development. In 2017, the exit from Idean contributed MEUR 9.4 to operating profit and MEUR 7.5 to profit.

Siginificant events during the financial year

CapMan Real Estate's Nordic investment mandate from BVK grew to MEUR 820 fol lowing a significant transaction in the end of 2018. Following the acquisition, the mandate is fully invested and generates long-term advisory and performance fees for CapMan.

In October, CapMan Nordic Infrastruc ture I fund held its first close and by the end of the year, it had received commitments of MEUR 141. The funds target size is more than MEUR 300. The fund pays CapMan management fees and carried interest in line with industry standards.

CapMan announced a new dividend policy and updated long-term financial ob jectives in August. The company's objective is to pay an annually increasing dividend to its shareholders. The combined growth objective for Management Company and Service business is more than 10 per cent p.a. on average. The return on equity target is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for the equity ratio is more than 60 per cent.

In April, CapMan issued senior unse cured notes in the principal amount of EUR 50 million. The Notes will mature on 16 April 2023 and carry fixed interest at a rate of 4.125 per cent per annum.

Significant risks and short-term uncertainties

General risks

Private equity investment is generally subject to a risk of non-liquid investments, among others, which means uncertainty of the realisation of any increase in value, a risk concerning general economic develop ment and market situation and a risk con cerning the economy and political situation of target countries. The general risks are heightened in CapMan's operations in Rus sia, which may impair CapMan's goodwill.

Market risks

Investment operations carried out by CapMan are subject to general market risk. Market values can change, for example, because of fluctuations in the equity, fixed income, currency and real estate markets.

Changes in market values impact the result of CapMan through the appreciations of its investment assets, including its trading portfolio.

Changes in the equity markets also influence the valuation of unlisted portfolio companies because the valuation methods used by funds include the share values of suitable listed companies. Economic uncer tainty may have a direct impact on the suc cess of the funds administered by CapMan, on the success of CapMan's investment activities, and also on the assets available for investment or solvency of the current and potential investors of the funds.

Risks related to the success of the business

The business operations of the CapMan Group have a material risk of failure regard ing the establishment of new private equity funds and their fundraising. Successful funding is important to management fees and creates opportunity for receiving carried interest income in the future. For example, poor performance of investments made by funds managed by CapMan, increasing competition or reasons that are independent of CapMan may make it more difficult to raise funds from new or current investors in the future.

Gaining new customers or the launch of new investment areas, products or service businesses may also fail, which may prevent or hamper the realisation of CapMan's growth objectives.

GOVERNANCE

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Risks related to fair value changes in portfolio companies, real estate or infrastructure investments

The values of portfolio companies can vary positively or negatively within short periods if changes occur in the peer group or in the interest in the company of potential buyers. As a result of exit processes, significant return is typically realised on successful investments also in the short term as the exit price is based on strategic value and synergies created for the buyer, and not directly on peer group multiples.

The fair values of real estate and infrastructure investments may also vary between review periods based on changes in, inter alia, demand, capacity, condition or exit process. The variations are typically smaller compared to the variations in the fair value of portfolio companies.

Risks related to carried interest and other performance-based income

The timing of exits and the magnitude of the potential carried interest profits are diffi cult to foretell. The timing of fees from fund advisory activities are difficult to predict due to the nature of the business.

Group companies managing a fund may in certain circumstances, pursuant to the terms of the fund agreement, have to return carried interest income they have received (so-called clawback). The obligation to return carried interest income applies typically when, according to the final distri bution of funds, the carried interest income

received by the fund management company exceeds the carried interest it is entitled to when the fund expires.

CapMan recognises revenue from car ried interest, to the extent carried interest is based on realised cash flows and repayment risk is estimated to be very low, CapMan is entitled to carried interest, a confirmation on the amount has been received and Cap - Man is relatively close to receiving it in cash. Returned carried interest income based on clawback conditions would in turn have a negative impact on CapMan's result as a potential clawback provision may not be sufficient. CapMan has recorded a EUR 7.6 million clawback provision for the CapMan Real Estate I KY fund. The sufficiency of the provision is reviewed quarterly by the management but its actual amount will only be known after all target investments of the fund have been liquidated. One real estate investment remains in the fund. The realisa tion of the clawback liability would have a negative cash flow impact and it is possible that the provision made is not sufficient. 38 Report of the Board of Directors CAPMAN ANNUAL

Risks related to the availability or cost of financing

The company's financing agreements include financing covenants and other conditions. Violation of covenants related to financing agreements and a failure to fulfil other contractual terms may cause the cost of financing to increase significantly and even jeopardise continued financing for CapMan.

Risks related to the change in the regulatory environment

Changes in the securities markets regula tion, significant domestic or international tax regulation or practice and regulation generally applicable to business operations, or measures and actions by authorities or requirements set by authorities, or in the manner in which such laws, regulations and actions are implemented or interpreted, as well as the application and implementation of new laws and regulations, may have a significant effect on CapMan's business operations.

Financial objectives and outlook estimate for 2019

CapMan's objective is to pay an annually increasing dividend to its shareholders.

The combined growth objective for Man agement Company and Service business is more than 10 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for return on equity is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average. CapMan's equi ty ratio target is more than 60 per cent.

CapMan expects to achieve these finan cial objectives gradually and key figures are expected to show fluctuation on an annual basis considering the nature of the busi ness. CapMan expects management fees and fees from services to continue growing in aggregate in 2019. Our objective is to improve the aggregate profitability of Man agement Company and Service businesses before carried interest income and any

possible items affecting comparability.

The return on CapMan's investments have a substantial impact on CapMan's overall result. The development of industries and local economies, market instrument and inflation development, valuation multi ples of peer companies, exchange rates and various other factors outside of CapMan's control, as well as the combined effect of the aforementioned factors, influence fair value development of CapMan's overall in vestments in addition to portfolio company and asset-specific development.

CapMan's objective is to improve results in the longer term, taking into account an nual fluctuations affecting the business. For these and other above-mentioned reasons, CapMan does not provide numeric estimates for 2019.

Items affecting comparability are described in conjunction with section 2: Segment information the Tables section of this report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Group information

CapMan's business comprise of private equity fund management and advisory services, as well as investment business. The funds managed by CapMan make investments in Nordic and Russian compa nies and in real estate and infrastructure assets in the Nordic countries. The service business includes private equity advisory and fundraising services to fund managers and procurement services to companies. Through its investment business, CapMan invests in the private equity asset class, mainly in its own funds, and listed markets in a diversified manner.

The parent company of the Group is CapMan Plc and is domiciled in Helsinki, with a registered office address at Ludvig inkatu 6, 00130 Helsinki, Finland.

The Consolidated Financial Statements may be viewed online at www.capman.com, or a hard copy is available from the office of the parent company.

The Consolidated Financial Statements for 2018 have been approved for publica tion by CapMan Plc's Board of Directors on January 30, 2019. Pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders may adopt or reject the financial statements and make decisions on amendments to them at the Annual General Meeting.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in force at December 31, 2018 as adopted by the European Union. International Finan cial Reporting Standards, referred to in the Finnish Accounting Act and in ordinances issued based on the provisions of this Act, are standards and their interpretations adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The notes to the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish accounting standards as and where they supplement IFRS requirements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group's management to make estimates and assumptions when applying CapMan's ac counting principles, and these are presented in more detail under 'Use of estimates'.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss. The information in the Consolidat ed Financial Statements is presented in thousands of euros. Figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the

sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.

New and amended standards applied in financial year ended As from January 1, 2018, the Group has

applied the following new or amended standards that have come into effect:

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 superseded standard IAS 39 Finan cial Instruments: Recognition and Measure ment. The new standard replaced the multi ple classification models of financial assets in IAS 39 with a single model, under which there are three classification categories: am ortised cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. Classification is based on entity's business model for managing financial assets and their contractual cash flow char acteristics. The new standard also includes a new model for estimating impairment of financial assets, which is based on expected credit losses. The new hedge accounting rules align hedge accounting more closely with common risk management practices. 50 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

The adoption of the new standard caused changes primarily to account ing principles related to financial assets measured at amortised cost, such as trade and loan receivables. The objective of the Group's trade receivables is the possession of financial assets to collect cash flows based on agreements. The Group evalu -

ates the expected credit loss of the trade receivables of the management company and service business by using the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9. Based on the standard, the Group has established a pro vision matrix, based on the historical credit losses and forward-looking information re garding general economic indicators. In ad dition, the group has evaluated the valuation of materially overdue receivables on a client basis. The adoption of the new standard did not result in significant changes to the val uation of trade receivables, because credit losses have been historically low and are not expected to increase in the future.

In addition, the Group has loan receiva bles relating to management company and service business. The cash flows of these receivables consist of instalments and accumulated interest. The group uses the IFRS 9 based general approach for evaluat ing the expected credit losses for these loan receivables. The group evaluates the credit risk of the borrowers by estimating the de lay of the repayments and borrower's future economic development. Depending on the estimated credit risk, the group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses. The adoption of the new standard did not result in significant changes to the valuation of loan receivables.

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not result in changes to the classification of financial assets, because under the earlier standard,

GOVERNANCE

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the Group's financial assets were classified either at fair value through profit or loss or as loans and receivables. Therefore, loans and receivables under IAS 39 were reclas sified to financial assets at amortised cost, and adoption of the new standard did not impact the classification of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Changes to the hedge accounting rules do not have an impact, because the Group does not apply hedge accounting.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. Adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on the Group's result or financial position, and the impact analysis acting as a basis for this conclusion is presented below. However, based on the requirements of the new standard, CapMan disaggregated its revenue from contracts with customers to categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. This resulted in disclosing man agement fees, service fees, carried interest and income from financial assets held for trading separately from one another.

CapMan's main revenue streams com prise management fees and carried interest. Other fees incurred are generated by the CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS), Sca la Fund Advisory and Real Estate business lines consisting mainly of commissions, retainer and success fees and property

management service fees.

The following sets forth the results of the impact analysis by revenue stream:

Management fee income

As a fund manager, CapMan receives man agement fees during a fund's period of op erations. The management fee is a variable consideration and is during the investment period typically based on the fund's original size and thereafter on the acquisition cost of the fund's remaining portfolio. Fund management was identified being the only performance obligation in the contract, and management fee income is allocated to the provided fund management service over time. Adoption of IFRS 15 did not result in a difference in revenue recognition of manage ment fee income compared to the supersed ed standard IAS 18.

Carried interest income

CapMan recognises revenue from carried interest when a fund has transferred to carry and to the extent carried interest is based on realised cash flows and manage ment has estimated it being highly probable that there is no risk of repayment of carried interest back to the fund. Carried interest is recognised when CapMan is entitled to carried interest by the reporting date, a con firmation on the amount has been received and CapMan is relatively close to receiving it in cash.

Carried interest is earned based on the same performance obligation as the man agement fee, i.e. fund management, and is a variable consideration, which is subject to the highly probable constraint under IFRS 15. Potential repayment (clawback) risk is measured by using the expected value meth od, i.e. by estimating a weighted average of all possible outcomes. The fair value of the remaining portfolio companies is deter mined, which CapMan uses as a basis to assess the repayment risk in case CapMan has a contractual obligation to return part of the received carried interest back to the fund. Adoption of the IFRS 15 did not result in a difference in revenue recognition of carried interest income compared to the superseded standard IAS 18.

Fundraising fee of Scala Fund Advisory

Scala Fund Advisory earns fundraising fee from its services provided to private equity fund managers and professional investors globally. Fundraising fee typically includes two components: a success fee and a retain er. Success fee is earned when the targeted amount of funds has been raised. Retainer is earned over time, during the fundraising process, and is typically a fixed amount per month. Retainer is recognised monthly as earned and success fee only after the investors have been committed to invest by signing the fund agreement. A fundraising contract is a single contract including both success fee and retainer, and includes only one performance obligation, which is to raise the targeted amount of capital. Trans action price comprises the success fee, be ing a variable consideration, and a retainer, being a fixed consideration. As the retainer is a fixed amount, earned monthly and 51 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

irrevocable after being received, recognising it over time is compliant with both IFRS 15 and IAS 18. With regards to the success fee, earlier approach under IAS 18 was also compliant with the IFRS 15, because the constraint highly probable is not reached before the investors have signed and com mitted to providing the capital reaching the fundraising target, thus entitling CapMan to a success fee as agreed. As long as the fundraising target has not been reached, collecting the remaining minimum amount of commitments is seen strongly dependent on factors outside CapMan's influence and thus constraining CapMan from recognising the revenue in an earlier point in time.

Secondary services of Scala Fund Advisory Scala Fund Advisory earns also fees from so called secondary market services for inves tors and fund managers of non-listed funds and investments. Typically, Scala is entitled to a fixed percentage of the actual transac tion price. Arrangement fee is invoiced and received after the underlying transaction has occurred. According to the analysis, with regards to secondary services, there is only one contract and one performance obliga tion with the customer. Transaction price comprises an arrangement fee, which is a variable consideration. Under the previous and current standard, the arrangement fee is recognised, when the underlying trans action has occurred. Realisation of the transaction is outside CapMan's control and is therefore constraining the revenue recog nition until realised.

Revenue streams of CapMan Procurement Services

CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS) combines service providers (suppliers) of non-strategic services and companies that buy or outsource these services. CapMan negotiates favourable prices with the service providers and earns a monthly commission of the supplier's sales to CaPS member companies. This means CapMan receives the commission fee income as an agent, as the supplier is responsible for providing the service or product and CapMan is not exposed to any credit risk regarding the ser vices provided by the suppliers. Recognition of the commission fee income over time is compliant with both IFRS 15 and IAS 18.

CapMan Procurement Services also earns a yearly fixed fee from certain CaPS member companies. In these contracts, there is one performance obligation, which is providing the customer a membership in CaPS and maintaining CaPS. The transac tion price is the fixed yearly fee received for a fixed period, and it is not subject to reim bursement. Recognition of yearly fee related revenue evenly over time is compliant with both IFRS 15 and IAS 18.

CapMan Procurement Services also maintain an Employee Benefit Program (EBP), where a company can, by partici pating in the program, buy services for its employees, at negotiated prices. The mem bership is based on a yearly fixed fee, which is not subject to reimbursement. The EBP service is run by a third-party service provid er that in most cases also collects the yearly fees and pays them forward to CapMan as

such. As the third-party service provider does not control the service, it is considered an agent to CapMan, and therefore CapMan – controlling the service – has an agree ment with the customer using the service. CapMan's only performance obligation is to provide membership in and maintain the EBP service. The transaction price is the fixed yearly fee, which is recognised evenly over time, which is compliant with both IFRS 15 and IAS 18.

IFRS 2 Share-based payment (amendments)

Amendments to IFRS 2 are related to clas sification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. The amendments clarify the accounting for certain types of arrangements with regards to the following accounting areas: measurement of cash-set tled share-based payments, classification of share-based payments settled net of tax withholdings and accounting for a modification of a share-based payment from cash-settled to equity-settled. As the Group's share-based long-term incentive plan contains no such features nor cash-set tled payments, the amendments to IFRS 2 did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment for foreign currency transactions that include a receipt or payment of ad vance consideration. According to the inter -

pretation, a non-monetary asset or liability related to an advance payment is measured using the exchange rate prevailing on the payment date. This interpretation did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Group's accounting treatment of such transactions was already compliant with this interpretation.

Other new or amended standards or interpretations had no impact on the consol idated financial statements:

Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations applicable in future financial years

The Group has not yet adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations already issued by the IASB. The Group will adopt them as of the effec tive date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year.

These amendments have been endorsed for use by the European Union:

IFRS 16 Leases (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2019)

IFRS 16 will replace the current standard IAS 17 Leases. The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measure ment, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leas es under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – lease of low-value assets and short-term leases.

The Group will adopt IFRS 16 using the simplified approach, also known as the modified retrospective approach or the cumulative catch-up method, and within that approach, choose the forward-looking alternative. This means, the right-of-use asset will be an equal to the lease liability, however adjusted for possible prepaid or accrued lease payments, and therefore no adjustment to retained earnings is made on the transition date January 1, 2019. The Group will also elect to use the exemptions allowed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease term ends within 12 months as of the initial application, and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value. Exemptions will be ap plied to some of the leased premises and to all laptops, printers and copying machines, among others. 52 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

The Group has performed a detailed im pact assessment of IFRS 16. The following sets forth the impact of IFRS 16 adoption as expected at the moment:

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2019)

Interpretation clarifies how to apply the rec ognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. In such a circumstance, an entity shall recognise and measure its current or deferred tax asset or liability applying the requirements in IAS 12 based on taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates determined applying this interpretation. The Group does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Other new or amended standards or interpretations are not expected to have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

Consolidation principles

As CapMan has determined it meets the definition of an investment entity, its sub sidiaries are classified either as operating subsidiaries, that are considered to be an extension of the Parent's operations, and as such, they are consolidated or investment entity subsidiaries, that are fair valued through profit or loss. The types of sub sidiaries and their treatment in CapMan's consolidated accounts are as follows:

  • Subsidiaries that provide fund manage ment services (fund managers) or manage direct investments are considered to be an extension of the Parent's business and as such, they are consolidated;
  • Subsidiaries that provide fund manage ment services (fund managers) and which also hold direct investments in the funds are consolidated and the investments in the funds are fair valued through profit or loss;
  • Subsidiaries that provide fund investment advisory services (advisors) are considered to be an extension of the Parent's busi ness and as such, they are consolidated; • Investment entity subsidiaries (CapMan Fund Investments SICAV-SIF), through which CapMan makes its own fund invest ments, are valued at fair value through profit or loss.

Significant judgment applied by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements – investment entity basis Management has determined that CapMan qualifies as an investment entity as defined by IFRS 10 through the fulfillment of the investment entity criteria, irrespective of the direct investments brought along by the

acquisition of Norvestia. The corner stone of CapMan's business purpose remains to obtain capital from investors to its closedend private equity funds and to provide investment management services to those funds to gain both capital appreciation and investment income. Even after the acquisition of Norvestia, direct investments represent a relatively small part compared to total assets under management. Further, CapMan obtains funds from many external investors for investment purposes. Docu mented exit strategies exist for each fund's portfolio investments. Each fund's portfolio investments and the real estate investments are fair valued and such fair value informa tion is provided both to the fund investors on reporting date and also for CapMan's internal management reporting purposes. In addition, management has assessed that the following characteristics further support investment entity categorization: CapMan holds several investments itself in the funds, investments in the funds are held by several investors, the investors are not related par ties and the investments are held mostly in form of equity. 53 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Significant judgment applied by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements – control over funds

One of the most significant judgments man agement made in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements is the determination that Company does not have control over the funds under its manage ment. Control is presumed to exist when

a parent has power over the investee, has exposure to variable returns from the fund and is able to use its power to affect the level of returns.

CapMan manages the funds against management fee received from the investors on the basis of the investment management mandate negotiated with the investors and it also makes direct investments in the funds under its management. Accordingly, CapMan was required to determine, whether it is acting primarily as a principal or as an agent in exercising its power over the funds.

In the investment management mandate the investors have set detailed instructions in all circumstances relating to the man agement of the fund limiting the actual influence of the general partner at very low. In general, having a qualified majority, investors have a right to replace the general partner and/or fund manager. The remu neration CapMan is entitled to is commen surate with the services it provides and corresponds to remuneration customarily present in arrangements for similar services on an arm's length basis. CapMan's direct investment (typically between of 1% to 5%) in the funds and thus the share of the varia bility of the returns compared with the other investors is relatively small. As an investor in the fund CapMan has no representation nor voting rights as it has been specifically excluded in the investment management mandate.

Therefore, management has conclud ed that despite it from formal perspective exercises power over the funds by controlling the general partner of the fund, its actual

operational ability is limited in the investment management mandate in a manner that the general partner is considers to act as an agent. Furthermore, CapMan's exposure to variable returns from the fund and its power to affect the level of returns is very low for the reasons described above. Therefore, CapMan has determined that it does not have control over the funds under its management.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method. All intercompany trans actions are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Profit or loss, together with all other comprehensive income-related items, are booked to the owners of the par ent company or owners not holding a con trolling interest in the companies concerned. Non-controlling interests are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under equity separately from equity attributable to the owners of the parent company.

Subsidiaries and businesses acquired during the year are consolidated from the date on which the Group acquires a con trolling interest, and in the case of compa nies and businesses divested by the Group during the financial year up to the date on which CapMan's controlling interest expires.

Associates

An associated company is an entity in which the Group has significant influence but does not hold a controlling interest. This is gen erally defined as existing when the Group holds, either directly or indirectly, more than 20% of a company's voting rights.

As an investment entity, CapMan measures associated companies belonging to growth equity investments at fair value through profit or loss. The group considers this to give more meaningful information about the real value of investments and to better describe the company's business, the company's way of reviewing its investments and making decisions relating to them.

Other associated companies have been consolidated in accordance with the equity method. Under this, the investment in an as sociated company 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 value. If the Group's share of the loss incurred by an associated company exceeds the book value of its investment, the investment is booked at zero in the balance sheet, and losses exceeding book value are not combined unless the Group is committed to meeting the obligations of the company concerned. The Group's share of the profit recorded by an associated company during the financial year in accordance with its holding in the company is presented as a separate item in the income statement after operating profit. 54 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Joint ventures

CapMan has assessed the nature of its in vestment in Maneq Luxembourg S.a.r.l. and classified it as joint venture since based on contractual agreement, CapMan has right to net assets of the arrangement. The in vestment is made through several separate instruments and their values are co-de pendent. As an investment entity CapMan

measures its investment in the joint venture at fair value through profit or loss. In the balance sheet, the investment is presented as part of Investments at fair value through profit or loss as a separate line item "In vestments in joint ventures". Changes in the fair value of the investment are recognised in the group statement of comprehensive income in line item "Fair value changes of investments".

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in ac cordance with internal reporting presented to the chief operating decision maker. The latter is responsible for allocating resources to operating segments and evaluating their performance and is defined as the Group's Management Group, which is responsible for taking strategic decisions affecting CapMan.

Translation differences

The result and financial position of each of the Group's business units are measured in the currency of the primary economic envi ronment 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 parent company's functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on 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 state ment account before operating profit and, for financial items, are recorded in financial income and expenses. The Group's foreign currency items have not been hedged.

In the consolidated financial statements, the income statements of subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than the euro are translated into euros using the av erage rates for the accounting period. Their balance sheets are translated using the clos ing rate on the balance sheet date. All re sulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. Translation differences caused by changes in exchange rates for the cumulative shareholders' equity of foreign subsidiaries have been recognised in other comprehensive income.

Tangible non-current assets

Tangible non-current assets have been reported in the balance sheet at their acqui sition value less depreciation according to plan. Assets are depreciated on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

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

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed on every balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect changes in the expected economic benefits where neces sary.

REPORT 2018 GROUP CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business merger is booked as the sum paid for a holding, the holding held by owners with a non-con trolling interest, and the holding previously owned that, when combined, exceeds the fair value of the net assets of the acquisition. Write-offs are not made against goodwill, and possible impairment of goodwill is tested annually. Goodwill is measured as the original acquisition cost less accumulated impairment. The goodwill acquired during a merger is booked against the units or groups of units responsible for generating the cash flow used for testing impairment. Every unit or group of units for which goodwill is booked represents the lowest level of the organisation at which goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes. Good will is monitored at operating segment level.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets are recognised in the bal ance sheet only if the cost of the asset can be measured reliably and if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributa ble to the asset will flow to the Group.

Agreements and trademarks acquired in business mergers are booked at fair value at the time of acquisition. As they have a limit ed life, they are booked in the balance sheet at acquisition cost minus accumulated

write-offs. IT systems are expensed on the basis of the costs associated with acquir ing and installing the software concerned. Depreciation is spread across the finan cial life of the relevant software licences. Impairment is tested whenever there is an indication that the book value of intangible assets may exceed the recoverable amount of these assets.

The estimated useful lives are:

Agreements and trademarks 10 years
Other intangible assets 3-5 years

Impairment of assets

The Group reviews all assets for indications that their value may be impaired on each balance sheet date. If such indication is found to exist, the recoverable amount of the asset in question is estimated. The recoverable amount for goodwill is meas ured annually independent of indications of impairment.

The need for impairment is assessed on the level of cash-generating units, in other words at the smallest identifiable group of assets that is largely independent of other units and cash inflows from other assets. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset, less costs to sell or value in use. Value in use refers to the expected future net cash flow projections, which are dis counted 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 reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment is recorded in the income statement as an expense. The recoverable amount for financial assets is either the fair value or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted by the initial effective interest rate.

An impairment loss is recognised when ever the recoverable amount of an asset is below the carrying amount, and it is recog nised in the income statement immediately. An impairment loss of a cash-generating unit is first 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 im pairment 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 cannot exceed what the depre ciated historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. The carrying amount of good will 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 assets

The Group's financial assets have been clas sified into the following categories:

  • 1. financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
  • 2. financial assets at amortised cost

Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value through profit or loss. Classification of debt instruments, such as trade and loan receivables, is based on the business model for managing and for the contractual cash flow characteristics of these financial assets. Debt instruments of the Management Company Business and Service Business are classified as financial assets at amortised cost, because they are held solely in order to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payments of principal and interest. Current debt instru ments, included in the market portfolio of the Investment Business, are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, because they are held for trading. Non-current debt instruments included in the Investment Business are held for both selling purposes and collecting contractual cash flows (prin cipal and interest), and the Group desig nates these assets as measured at fair value through profit or loss, in order to reduce inconsistency with regards to recognizing gains and losses of financial assets within the Investment Business, because the Group as an investment entity manages and mon - 55 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

itors the performance of these investments based on fair values according to group's investment strategy.

Transaction costs are reported in the initial cost of financial assets, excluding items valued at fair value through profit or loss. All purchases and sales of financial in struments 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 flows or when it has substantially transferred all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset outside the Group. Financial assets are classified as current if they have been acquired for trad ing purposes or fall due within 12 months.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Fair value through profit or loss class com prises of financial assets that are equity instruments or acquired as held for trading, in which case they can be either equity or debt instruments. Debt instruments are also classified to this class, if they are held for both selling purposes and collecting con tractual cash flows and which CapMan as an investment entity designates as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition in order to reduce incon sistency with regards to recognizing gains and losses of financial assets within the Investment Business.

Fund investments, investments in joint ventures and other investments in non-cur rent assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and their

fair value change is presented on the line item "Fair value changes of investments" in the statement of comprehensive income. Fair value information of the non-current fund investments is provided quarterly to Company's management and to other inves tors in the investment funds management by CapMan. The valuation of CapMan's funds' investment is based on International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG) and IFRS 13. The invest ments in joint ventures mainly consists of investment in Maneq Luxembourg S.a.r.l. As an investment entity CapMan measures its investments in joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss. The investment is made through several separate instruments and their values are co-dependent. The in vestment is thus valued as one entity based on discounted cash flows. 56 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Investments in listed shares, funds and interest-bearing securities as well as those derivative instruments that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria or for which hedge accounting is not applied in current assets are held for trading and therefore classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Listed shares and derivative contracts in current assets are measured at fair value by the last trade price on active markets on the balance sheet date. The fair value of current invest ments in funds is determined as the funds' net asset value at the balance sheet date. The fair value of current investments in in terest-bearing securities is based on the last trade price on the balance sheet date or, in an illiquid market, on values determined by the counterparty. The change in fair value

of current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss is presented on the line item "Fair value changes of invest ments" in the statement of comprehensive income. Dividend and interest income from short-term investments in listed shares and interest-bearing securities is recognised as turnover.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as options and futures contracts to manage its portfolio more effectively. The Group does not use hedge accounting in derivative contracts. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a deriva tive contract is entered into and are subse quently remeasured at fair value. Fair values of derivative contracts are based on quoted market rates on the balance sheet date or, in an illiquid market, on values determined by the counterparty. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded directly in the income statement on the line item "Fair value changes of investments".

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets at amortised cost mainly include non-interest-bearing trade receiva bles and interest-bearing loan receivables of the Management Company Business and Service Business. These financial assets are held solely in order to collect contractual cash flows, and whose payments are fixed or determinable and which are not quoted in an active market. They are included in

current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the report ing period, which are classified as non-cur rent assets.

Expected credit loss of the trade receiv ables is evaluated by using the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9, under which a provision matrix is maintained, based on the historical credit losses and forward-looking information regarding general economic indicators. In addition, materially overdue receivables are evaluated on a client basis.

Expected credit losses of loan receiv ables is evaluated based on the general approach under IFRS 9. The group evaluates the credit risk of the borrowers by estimat ing the delay of the repayments and borrow er's future economic development. Depend ing on the estimated credit risk the group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses. Inputs used for the measurement of expected credit losses include, among others, available statistics on default risk based on credit risk rating grades and the historical credit losses the group has incurred.

Credit risk of a loan receivable is assumed low on initial recognition in case the contractual payments of principal and interest are dependent on the cash proceeds the borrower receives from the underlying investments. In these cases, the borrower is considered to have a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. It is considered that there has been a significant increase in the credit risk, if the contractual payments have

GOVERNANCE

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

become more than 30 days past due, and a default event has occurred, if the payment is more than 90 days past due, unless re sulting from an administrative oversight.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash in banks and in hand, together with liquid short-term deposits. Cash assets have a maximum maturity of three months.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities largely consist of loans from financial institutions and interest op tions used for hedging the interest rates of the Group's interest-bearing debts. Finan cial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are reported in the initial book value of the financial liability. Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are reported in non-current and current liabilities.

Equity

The hybrid bond has been treated as equity in the Group's financial statements. The hybrid bond has no maturity, but CapMan has the right to call it four years from the issue date. The company has an option to call the bond in two years the earliest from the issue date in accordance with certain terms and conditions. CapMan is obliged to pay interest on the hybrid bond, when it has decided to call it or in certain cases

subject to decision by the Annual General Meeting, such as decision to pay dividend. The interest on the hybrid bond is deducted from equity as interest is paid.

Dividend payment

Dividend payment covers the dividend decided on by the Annual General Meeting. The dividend proposed to the Annual Gener al Meeting by the Board of Directors is not subtracted from distributable funds until approved by the Annual General Meeting.

Leases

All the Group's leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases, as the risks and benefits of ownership remain with the lessor. Operating lease payments are recog nised as an expense in the income state ment on a straight-line basis. The CapMan Group does not act as a lessor.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a current obliga tion (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an out flow will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the outflow can be made.

The Group's provisions are evaluated on the closing date and are adjusted to match the best estimate of their size on the day in question. Changes are booked in the same entry in the income statement as the origi nal provision.

Employee benefits

Pension obligations

The defined contribution pension plan is a pension plan in accordance with the local regulations and practices of its business domiciles. Payments made to these plans are charged to the income statement in the financial period to which they relate. Pension cover has been arranged through insurance policies provided by external pension institutions.

Share-based payments

The fair value of stock options is assessed on the date they are granted and are ex pensed in equal instalments in the income statement over the vesting period of the rights concerned. An evaluation of how many options will generate an entitlement to shares is made at the end of every reporting period. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The terms of the stock option programs are presented in Section 29. Share-based payments.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised by first allocating the transaction price to performance obligations, and when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the underlying service to the customer, the revenue related to this performance obligation is recog nised. Performance obligation can be satis fied either at a point in time or over time.

Management fees

As a fund manager, CapMan receives man agement fees during a fund's entire period of operations. Management fee is a variable consideration and is typically based on the fund's original size during its investment period, which is usually five years. Thereafter the fee is typically based on the acquisition cost of the fund's remaining portfolio. An nual management fees are usually 0.5-2.0% of a fund's total commitments, depending whether the fund is a real estate fund, a mezzanine fund, or an equity fund. In the case of real estate funds, management fees are also paid on committed debt capital. The average management fee percentage paid by CapMan-managed funds is approx. 1%. 57 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Management fees paid by the funds are recognised as income over time, because the fund management service is the only performance obligation in the contract and it is satisfied over time.

Sale of services

CapMan's service business includes fund advisory and fund management services to external funds and fees from CapMan Procurement services (CaPS). Fee from a service is recognised over time, when the service is provided and the control is trans ferred to the customer, except for success fees, which are recognised as income at a point in time, because the underlying perfor mance obligation is satisfied and the control of the related service is transferred to the customer at a point in time.

Some of the contracts with customers related to the service business includes a significant financing component. When determining the transaction price in these cases, the promised amount of consid eration is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money and customer's credit characteristics.

Carried interest income

Carried interest refers to the distribution of the profits of a successful private equity fund among fund investors and the fund manager responsible for the fund's invest ment activities. In practice, carried inter est means a share of a fund's cash flow received by the fund manager after the fund has transferred to carry.

The recipients of carried interest in the private equity industry are typically the investment professionals responsible for a fund's investment activities. In CapMan's case, carried interest is split between CapMan Plc and funds' investment teams. The table of funds published in CapMan's Annaul Reports details CapMan Plc's share of a fund's cash flow if it is in carry.

CapMan applies a principle where funds transfer to carry and carried interest income are based on realised cash flows, not on a calculated and as yet unrealised return. As the level of carried interest income varies, depending on the timing of exits and the stage at which funds are in their life cycle, predicting future levels of carried interest is difficult.

To transfer to carry, a fund must return its paid-in capital to investors and pay

a preferential annual return on this. The preferential annual return is known as a hurdle rate, which is typically set between 7-10% IRR p.a. When a fund has transferred to carry, the remainder of its cash flows is distributed between investors and the fund manager. Investors typically receive 80% of the cash flows and the fund manager 20%. When a fund is generating carried interest, the fund manager receives carried interest income from all of the fund's cash flows, even if an exit is made at below the original acquisition cost.

Revenue from carried interest is recog nised when a fund has transferred to carry and to the extent carried interest is based on realised cash flows and management has estimated it being highly probable that there is no risk of repayment of carried interest back to the fund. Carried interest is recognised when CapMan is entitled to it by the reporting date, a confirmation on the amount has been received and CapMan is relatively close to receiving it in cash.

Potential repayment risk of carried interest to the funds (clawback)

Potential repayment risk to the funds (claw back) is considered when assessing wheth er revenue recognition criteria have been fulfilled. Clawback risk relates to a situation when, in conjunction with the liquidation of a fund, it is recognised that the General Partner has received more carried interest than agreed in the fund agreement. These situations can occur, for example, if there are recallable distributions or if representations and warranties have been given by the vendor in the sale and purchase agreement when the fund is towards the end of its lifecycle.

Potential repayment risk to the funds (clawback) is estimated by the management at each reporting date. The management judgment includes significant estimates relating to investment exit timing, exit probability and realisable fair value. The clawback risk is measured by using the expected value method, i.e. by calculating a probability weighted average of estimated alternative investment exit outcomes. The clawback is an adjustment to the related revenue recognised and is included in the current accrued liabilities in the consolidat ed balance sheet.

Income taxes

Tax expenses in the consolidated income statement comprise taxes on taxable income and changes in deferred taxes for the financial period. Taxes are booked in the income statement unless they relate to other areas of comprehensive income or directly to items booked as equity. In these cases, taxes are booked to either other comprehensive income or directly to equity. Taxes on taxable income for the financial 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 financial periods, if applica ble. The Group's taxes have been recognised during the financial year using the average expected tax rate. 58 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Deferred taxes are calculated on tem porary differences between the carrying

amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes have only been recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be avail able against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The largest tem porary 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 enacted by the balance sheet date and that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax is realised.

Items affecting comparability and alternative performance measures

CapMan uses alternative performance measures, such as Adjusted operating profit, to denote the financial performance of its business and to improve the compara bility between different periods. Alternative performance measures do not replace per formance measures in accordance with the IFRS and are reported in addition to such measures. Alternative performance meas ures, as such are presented, are derived from performance measures as reported in accordance with the IFRS by adding or deducting the items affecting comparability and they will be nominated as adjusted.

Items affecting comparability are, among others, material items related to mergers and acquisitions or major devel opment projects, material gains or losses related to the acquisition or disposals of business units, material gains or losses related to the acquisition or disposal of intangible assets, material expenses related

to decisions by authorities and material gains or losses related to reassessment of potential repayment risk to the funds.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS standards requires Group management to make estimates and assumptions in applying CapMan's accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions have an impact on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities in the balance sheet of the financial statements and on the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have a substantial impact on the Group's operating result. Estimates and assumptions have been used in assessing the impairment of goodwill, the fair value of fund investments, the impairment testing of intangible and tangible assets, in determin ing useful economic lives, and in reporting deferred taxes, among others. 59 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Valuation of fund investments

The determination of the fair value of fund investments using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guide lines (IPEVG) takes into account a range of factors, including the price at which an investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating

performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the invest ment. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judg ment. Because there is significant uncer tainty in the valuation of, or in the stability of, the value of illiquid investments, the fair values of such investments as reflected in a fund's net asset value do not necessarily reflect the prices that would actually be ob tained when such investments are realised.

Valuation of growth equity investments The fair value of growth equity investments is determined quarterly by using valuation methods according to IPEVG and IFRS 13. The valuations are based on forecasted cash flows or peer group multiples. In estimating fair value of an investment, a method that is the most appropriate in light of the facts, nature and circumstances of the investment is applied. External valuations are made at least once a year to verify the fair values of growth equity investments.

Fair value measurement of other investments

Before acquiring the control in Norvestia Oyj, other investments comprised mainly of investments in CapMan's associated company, Norvestia Oyj. The investment in the associate company was measured at fair value through profit or loss, since CapMan has been classified as an investment entity as defined in IFRS 10. The fair value of the

Norvestia investment in CapMan's consoli dated balance sheet was based on the net asset value (NAV) as reported by Norvestia Oyj. Management had used judgement in as sessing that the NAV reported by Norvestia Oyj represents the best available estimate of the fair value of Norvestia Oyj.

Fair value measurement of the investment in the joint venture

The investments in joint ventures mainly consists of investment in Maneq Lux embourg S.a.r.l. As an investment entity, CapMan measures its investments at fair value through profit or loss. The valuation is based on discounted cash flows. The in vestment is made through several separate instruments and their values are co-depend ent. Therefore, the investment has been valued as one entity. Since the fair value is not based on the quoted market value of the investment, management has used its judgement also in assessing the future cash inflows and other main variables of the valuation.

Valuation of goodwill

Impairment testing for goodwill is per formed annually. The most significant management assumptions related to the recoverable amount of an asset are linked to the timing and size of new funds to be established and the accrual of potential carried interest income. The management fees received by funds are based on agree -

ments and, for a fund's operational period of approximately ten years, yields can be predicted quite reliably. Estimates and assumptions include new funds established as part of CapMan's ongoing operations. A new fund is established at the end of an investment period, typically four years. Car ried interest income is taken into account in estimates and assumptions when the realisation of carry seems likely.

2. Segment information

CapMan has three operating segments: the Management company business, Service business and Investments business.

In its Management Company business, CapMan manages private equity funds that are invested by its partnership-based investment teams. Investments are Nordic and Russian mainly unlisted companies and Nordic real estate and infrastructure assets. CapMan raises capital for the funds from

Nordic and international investors. Income from the Management company business is derived from fees and carried interest received from funds. The fees include man agement fees related to CapMan's position as a fund management company and fees from other services closely related to fund management. 60 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

In the Service business, CapMan offers procurement services to companies in Finland and Sweden through CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS) and private

equity advisory and fundraising services to private equity fund managers and investors through Scala Fund Advisory. Income from the Services business include fees from CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS) and fundraising advisory services (Scala).

Through its Investment business, CapMan invests from its own balance sheet in the private equity asset class and listed markets in a diversified manner. Income in this business segment is generated by changes in the fair value of investments and realised returns following exits and periodic returns, such as interest and dividends.

Other includes the corporate functions not allocated to operating segments. These functions include part of the activities of group accounting, corporate communica tions, group management and costs related to share-based payment. Other also in cludes the eliminations of the intersegment transactions.

32. Financial risk management

The purpose of financial risk management is to ensure that the Group has adequate and effectively utilised financing as regards the nature and scope of the Group's business. The objective is to minimise the impact of negative market development on the Group with consideration for cost-efficiency. The financial risk management has been centralised and the Group's CFO is responsible for financial risk management and control.

The policy of the management is to constantly monitor cash flow forecasts and the Group's liquidity position on behalf of all Group companies. In addition, the Group's principles for liquidity management include rolling 12-month loan covenant assessments. The loan covenants are related to equity ratio and net gearing. During the financial year all the loan covenants have been fullfilled.

The Group has a Monitoring team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of the investment portfolio (financial assets entered at fair value through profit and loss) inde pendently and objectively of the investment teams. The Monitoring team is responsible for reviewing the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals made by the case investment professionals are examined by the Monitoring team and subse quently approved by the Valuation Committee, which comprises the Chairman of the Investee Committee, the Group CFO and Heads of investment teams.

a) Liquidity risk

The Group's cash flow is a mix of cash flow from management fees received and volatile car ried interest income. The third main component in liquidity management is the timing of the capital calls to the funds and the proceeds received from fund investments.

Management fees received from the funds are based on long-term agreements and are target ed to cover the operational expenses of the Group. Management fees are relatively predicta ble for the coming 12 months.

The timing and receipt of carried interest generated by the funds is uncertain and will con tribute to the volatility of the results. Changes in investment and exit activity levels may have a significant impact on cash flows of the Group. A single investment or exit may change the cash flow situation completely and the exact timing of the cash flow is difficult to predict.

The CapMan Real Estate I fund transferred into carry in 2007. From the EUR 27.4 million of carried interest paid in 2007 approximately EUR 6.4 million was not recognised in the reve nue in 2007 but instead left as a liability in case that some of the carried interest would have to be returned to the investors in the future. CapMan's share of the entered carried interest was approx. EUR 13.5 million and the share of minority owners was approx. EUR 7.5 million. In 2014, the clawback risk was reassessed and the related liability decreased by EUR 1.2 million to EUR 5.2 million. However, in light of the current market situation, it is considered unlikely that any further carried interest would be paid from the CapMan Real Estate I fund. The clawback risk was reassessed again in 2016, and as a result, the related liability was increased by EUR 2.3 million to EUR 7.5 million. After the reassessment of the clawback risk in 2017 the liability was increased by EUR 0.1 million. The current clawback liability of EUR 7.6 million, including the minority owners' share, is estimated to be adequate to cover the possible return of carried interest. 83 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

CapMan has made commitments to the funds it manages. As at December 31, 2018, the undrawn commitments to the funds amounted to EUR 98.0 million (67.1) and the financing capacity available (cash and third party financing facilities) amounted to EUR 74.5 million (33.3).

CapMan issued a EUR 30 million fixed-rate unsecured senior bond to institutional investors in October 2015. The bond was originally scheduled to mature in four years on 15 October 2019 and had a fixed coupon interest rate of 4.2% per annum, but an early redemption was made in April 2018. At the same time, CapMan issued senior unsecured notes in the princi pal amount of EUR 50 million, which will mature on 16 April 2023 and carry a fixed annual interest of 4.125%. The coupon interest is paid semi-annually.

Furthermore, CapMan Plc has a EUR 10 million multi-issuer bond guaranteed by Garantia In surance Company Ltd. The Bond has an annual coupon interest rate of 1.85% and it matures in 18 June 2019.

CapMan repaid its remaining bank loan of EUR 8.5 million during 2018. CapMan has an unused long-term credit facility of EUR 20 million available.

b) Interest rate risk

Interest-bearing liabilities have a fixed interest rate. Exposure to interest rate risk would arise principally from the long-term credit facility of EUR 20 million with a floating interest rate. However, it has not been used during the financial year.

The annual coupon rate of the multi-issuer bond is 1.85%, and the interest is paid annually. The senior bond issued in April 2018 has an annual coupon rate of 4.125%, and the interest is paid semi-annually.

Floating rate 0 8,489
Fixed rate 59,694 39,726
Total 59,694 48,215

c) Credit risk

Credit risks arise from changes in the result caused by counterparties failing to meet their commitments. Money market investments and bonds therefore include credit risks, and to minimize these, the company has diversified its investments. As money market investments are short-term, and both money market investments and bonds are made in Nordic listed compa nies, these risks are regarded as small.

As at December 31, 2018, the group had EUR 8.9 million invested in bonds. The longest ma turity of these investments was 3.2 years and the average maturity was 1.7 years. None of the investments were past due.

Group's other credit risks relate to trade, loan and other receivables recognised at amortised cost. The maximum credit loss of these receivables is the carrying amount of the receivable in question. There are no collaterals relating to the receivables and there have been no credit losses in the past. More information on the expected credit losses of receivables is presented in notes 19 and 21.

Group does not have financial guarantee contracts and thus no related credit risk. Group's loan commitments are low and thus also their credit risk is deemed low.

In June 2013, CapMan transferred its ownership in 2005-2011 Maneq funds (including equity and loan receivables) to a Luxembourg company founded by CapMan and sold part of that company for a cash consideration of EUR 14 million. After the transaction, the Group's share of the Maneq funds is approx. EUR 4.5 million at fair value as at December 31, 2018. The Group's holdings in Maneq funds are presented as investments in joint ventures. Following the transaction, CapMan has a loan receivable from the Luxembourg company, but the risk profile of this receivable is like that of an equity investment. 85 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

d) Currency risk

Changes in exchange rates, particularly between the Swedish krona and the euro, impact the company's performance, since a majority of the company's investments in hedge funds are krona-denominated. Any strengthening/weakening of the krona against the euro would improve/weaken the returns from investments in Swedish funds. In turn, however, changes in other exchange rates may affect the funds' krona-denominated results.

CapMan has subsidiaries outside of the Eurozone, and their equity is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. However, the Group does not hedge currency as the impact of exposure to currency movements on equity is relatively small. The group is not exposed to significant currency risks, because Group companies operate in their primary domestic markets.

equity ratio and net gearing.
f) Price risk of the investments in funds
Investments in funds
The investments in funds are valued using the International Private Equity and Venture
Capital Valuation Guidelines. According to these guidelines, the fair values are generally de -
rived by multiplying key performance metrics of the investee company (e.g., EBITDA) by the
relevant valuation multiple (e.g., price/equity ratio) observed for comparable publicly traded
companies or transactions. Changes in valuation multiples can lead to significant changes in
fair values depending on the leverage ratio of the investee company.
Financial assets held for trading
In its operations the Group is exposed to market risks arising from price fluctuations of its
financial assets held for trading. Performance is greatly affected by economic developments
and share price movements both in Finland and abroad. One of the guiding principles of
CapMan's investment activities is to diversify its investments and thereby reduce overall risks,
as well as to pursue steady asset growth. Occasionally a significant part of investments may
be focused on certain types of investments and securities, the possible negative development
of which may substantially decrease CapMan's result. CapMan occasionally hedges its invest -
ments with options and futures, although there may be situations where such hedges are not
effective.

CapMan has made some investments also in funds that are not managed by CapMan Group companies. The fair values of these investments in CapMan's balance sheet are based on the valuations by the respective fund managers. No separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan for these investments.

The changes in the peer group earnings multiples and the peer group discounts are typically opposite to each other. Therefore, if the peer group multiples increase, a higher discount is typically applied. Because of this, a change in the peer group multiples may not in full be reflected in the fair values of the fund investments.

The valuations are based on euro. If portfolio company's reporting currency is other than euro, P&L items used in the basis of valuation are converted applying the average foreign exchange rate for corresponding year and the balance sheet items are converted applying the rate at the time of reporting. Changes in the foreign exchange rates, in CapMan's estimate, have no significant direct impact on the fair values calculated by peer group multiples during the reporting period.

The valuation of CapMan funds' investment is based on international valuation guidelines that are widely used and accepted within the industry and among investors. CapMan always aims at valuing funds' investments at their actual value. Fair value is the best estimate of the price that would be received by selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Determining the fair value of fund investments for funds investing in portfolio companies is carried out using International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IP - EVG). In estimating fair value for an investment, CapMan applies a technique or techniques that is/are appropriate in light of the nature, facts, and circumstances of the investment in the context of the total investment portfolio. In doing this, current market data and several inputs, including the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and the financial situation of the investment, are evaluated and combined with market participant assumptions. In selecting the appropriate valuation technique for each particular investment, consideration of those specific terms of the investment that may impact its fair value is required.

Different methodologies may be considered. The most applied methodologies at CapMan include the price of recent investments, which is typically applied in the case of new invest ments, and the earnings multiple valuation technique, whereby public peer group multiples are used to estimate the value of a particular investment. CapMan always applies a discount to peer group multiples, due to e.g. limited liquidity of the investments. Due to the qualitative nature of the valuation methodologies, the fair values are to a considerable degree based on CapMan's judgment.

The Group has a Monitoring team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of the investment portfolio (financial assets entered at fair value through profit or loss) independent ly and objectively of the investment teams. The Monitoring team is responsible for reviewing the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals made by the case investment professionals are examined by the Monitoring team and subsequently reviewed and decided by the Valuation Committee, which comprises the Group CFO, Head of Monitoring team and either Risk Manager of the relevant fund or Head of the relevant investment team. The portfolio company valuations are reviewed in the Valuation Committee on a quarterly basis. The valuations are back tested against realised exit valuations, and the results of such back testing are reported to the Audit Committee annually. 91 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Investments in real estate are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent
external experts, who follow International Valuation Standards (IVS). The method most appro -
priate to the use of the property is always applied, or a combination of such methods. For
the most part, the valuation methodology applied is the discounted cash flow method, which
is based on significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include the following:
Future rental cash inflows Based on the actual location, type and quality of the proper -
ties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other
contracts or external evidence such as current market rents
for similar properties;
Discount rates Reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in
the amount and timing of cash flows;
Estimated vacancy rates Based on current and expected future market conditions after
expiry of any current lease;
Property operating expens - Including necessary investments to maintain functionality of
es the property for its expected useful life;
Capitalisation rates Based on actual location size and quality of the properties
and taking into account market data at the valuation date;
Terminal value Taking into account assumptions regarding maintenance
costs , vacancy rates and market rents.
The value of investments in joint ventures consists almost entirely of investments in Maneq
Investments Luxembourg which is indirectly invested into portfolio companies in the funds
managed by CapMan. The fair values of investments are determined in the same way as in
funds investing in portfolio companies. The investment is made through several separate
instruments and their values are co-dependent. Therefore the investment has been valued as
one entity based on the fair values of the underlying portfolio companies.

Notes to the Parent Company Financial Statements (FAS)

Basis of preparation for parent company financial statements

CapMan Plc's financial statements for 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the Finn ish Accounting Act. On March 1, 2018, Norvestia Oyj, subsidiary of CapMan Plc, merged into the parent company, which has an impact on the comparability of the balance sheet.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies have been recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the closing date of the review period.

Investments

Investments are valued at acquisition cost. If the probable future income from the investment is permanently lower than the value at acquisition cost excluding depreciation, the difference is recognised as an expense.

Intangible and tangible assets

Intangible and tangible assets are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and amorti sation according to the plan, except for assets having an indefinite useful life.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. Listed shares, other securities, funds and bonds are measured at the lower of cost and fair value. Unlisted shares and holdings are recognized at lower of cost and probable realizable value.

Receivables

Receivables comprise receivables from Group companies and associated companies, trade receivables, accrued income and other receivables. Receivables are recorded at nominal val ue, however no higher than at probable value. Receivables are classified as non-current assets if the maturity exceeds 12 months.

Non-current liabilities

The financial risk management of CapMan Group is centralised with the parent company. The financial risk management principles are provided in the Notes to the Group financial state ments under 32. Financial risk management.

Senior bonds maturing later than one year after the balance sheet date are recorded as non-current liabilities at nominal value.

Leases

Lease payments are recognised as other expenses. The remaining commitments under each lease are provided in the Notes section under "Commitments".

Provisions

Provisions are recognised as expenses in case the parent company has an obligation that will not result in comparable income or losses that are deemed apparent.

Pensions

Statutory pension expenditures are recognised as expenses at the year of accrual. Pensions have been arranged through insurance policies of external pension institutions.

Revenue

Revenue includes the sale of services to subsidiaries and revenue from the sale of securities, dividends and other similar income from securities classified as inventories. Revenue from services is recognised, when the service is delivered.

Income taxes

Income taxes are recognised based on Finnish tax law. Deferred taxes are calculated on tem porary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes have been measured at the statutory tax rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax is realised. 96 Notes to the Parent Company Financial Statements CAPMAN ANNUAL

Appropriations

Appropriations in the income statement consist of possible given and received group con tributions and possible depreciation in excess of plan, and in the balance sheet, possible accumulated depreciation in excess of plan.

Auditor's Report (Translation of the Finnish original)

To the Annual General Meeting of CapMan Plc

Report on the Audit of Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of CapMan Plc (business identity code 0922445-7) for the year ended 31 De cember, 2018. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, state ment of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.

In our opinion

• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's finan cial position as well as its financial perfor -

mance and its cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit Committee.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing prac tice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the parent com pany and of the group companies in accord ance with the ethical requirements that are

applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

In our best knowledge and understand ing, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provid ed have been disclosed in 7 to the consoli dated financial statements.

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These

matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit proce dures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompa nying financial statements. 104 Auditor's Report CAPMAN ANNUAL

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

CAPMAN ANNUAL GROUP CORPORATE REPORT OF THE FINANCIAL
REPORT 2018 GOVERNANCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS STATEMENTS
Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed
the Key Audit Matter
Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed
the Key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition and claw back liability
We refer to the accounting policies in the finan
cial statements and the Notes 3 and 26.
CapMan's turnover in consolidated group
accounts amounted to 36,0 million euros.
It consists of management fees, sale of
services, carried interest income as well
as dividend and interest income. In certain
circumstances, pursuant to the terms of the
fund agreement, the carried interest income
has to be returned (so called claw back). The
claw back provision recorded 31.12.2018
amounted to 7,6 million euros.
The timing of revenue recognition can be
judgmental as revenue may be recognized
either over time or at the point in time de -
pending on the circumstances and provided
services. The assessment of recognized rev -
enue and claw back includes management
assumptions and estimates.
Revenue recognition and claw back liability was
determined to be a key audit matter and a sig
nificant risk of material misstatement referred
to in EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of
Article 10(2) in respect of its timely recognition
and at a proper amount.
Our audit procedures included, among other
things, assessing that the revenue recogni -
tion principles comply to applicable account -
ing standards. We also identified and tested
key controls relating to revenue recognition.
We tested the sales cutoff with analytical
procedures. We supplemented our proce -
dures with test of details on a transaction
level in order to ensure that the revenue has
been recognized in a correct accounting
period and it's based on the corresponding
agreements. We also analyzed the basis of
assumptions and estimates relating to the
defining the amount claw back liability.
In addition, we also assessed the adequacy
of disclosures relating to the fee and com -
mission income of the group.
Valuation of non-liquid investments
We refer to the accounting policies in the
financial statements and the Notes 18 and 32.
The Group's investment portfolio
31.12.2018 amounts to 87,6 million euros.
The investment portfolio includes mainly in -
vestments to the funds managed by CapMan
group companies. Determining the fair value
of funds and direct investments to portfolio
companies is carried out using International
Private Equity and Venture Capital valua -
tion guidelines (IPEV) and IFRS and the fair
values are based on estimated cash-flows
or peer-group multiples. Fair value meas -
urement includes subjective estimations by
management, specifically in areas where fair
value is based on a model based valuation.
Valuation techniques for private equity funds
involve setting various assumptions regard -
ing pricing factors. The use of different
valuation techniques and assumptions could
lead to different estimates of fair value.
Valuation of non-liquid investments was deter
mined to be a key audit matter and a significant
risk of material misstatement referred to in EU
Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article
10(2).
Our audit procedures included identifying
and testing the controls in place over record -
ing fair values of non-liquid investment.
We performed additional procedures for
areas of higher risk and estimation, involving
our valuation specialists.
Our audit procedures included:

Developing an understanding of the private
equity and real estate portfolios

Reviewing the price of recent transactions
and investments

Assessing assumptions used in the valua -
tions and corroborating that the valuation
appropriately reflects the risks of the
portfolios

Comparing the assumptions against es -
tablished policies and determining if they
have been applied appropriately

Reviewing and assessing the valuations
determined by CapMan or other party

Verifying that the International Private
Equity and Venture Capital Valuation
Guidelines and valuation methodology of
IFRS have been applied correctly.
In addition, we also assessed the adequacy
of disclosures relating to the non-liquid
investments.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of finan cial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial state ments in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of finan cial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 106 Auditor's Report CAPMAN ANNUAL

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable as surance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstate ment, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual ly or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise profes sional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not de tecting a material misstatement resulting

from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrep resentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design au dit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclo sures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclo sures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the

audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent com pany or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evi dence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other mat ters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we de termine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclo sure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 107 Auditor's Report CAPMAN ANNUAL

Other Reporting Requirements

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consist ent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
