Comment by Lasse Lindblad, CEO:

"The Capinordic Group focuses on high-margin business areas and profitable customer segments. The growth strategy builds on acquisitions, organic growth and alliances. In H1 2007, Capinordic made a number of strategic acquisitions that strengthen the Group's market position, notably in Sweden.

Now, Capinordic has to show the shareholders the value of the investments.

We now have to focus on strengthening the basis which is to generate our organic growth. Essential factors are thus the exploitation of synergies between business areas, the utilisation of knowledge capital and knowledge sharing through focus on communications and HR and, in particular, the development of efficient IT solutions."

3. Developments in H1 2007

The following paragraphs review significant events and developments recorded in H1 2007.

Results of the Capinordic Group

Group profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax for H1 2007 amounted to DKK 56,043 thousand, the profit for Q2 2007 amounting to DKK 20,119 thousand. By comparison, the Group profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax for H1 2006 amounted to DKK 7,791 thousand, the profit for Q2 2006 amounting to DKK 6,123 thousand.

After tax, the Group profit for H1 2007 was DKK 36,328 thousand as compared with DKK 4,242 thousand for the same period of 2006.

Particularly the Group's activities within Asset Management, Corporate Finance and portfolio investments made a positive contribution to Group earnings.

Capital structure and capital adequacy

Group equity for the period ended 30 June 2007 was DKK 2,036 million. The capital base of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2007 was DKK 1,160 million and the capital adequacy ratio was 70.41.

Development of the Capinordic Group

The Capinordic Group saw highly positive growth in the number of customers and inflow of assets under management in H1 2007. The Group particularly experienced positive growth in Sweden. As an example, Nordisk Fondservice AB saw an inflow of 10,000 new customers in the period between the conditional agreement in May and the effective acquisition in August, and it thus manages about SEK 8.5 billion and has 57,000 customers today.

Capinordic in Denmark

The development in Group activities in Denmark was satisfactory.

DKK '000 Year to date 2007 Year to date
2006*
Year
2006*
Net interest and fee income 66,732 9,455 139,123

Profit after tax for the period 35,329 2,958 50,370
* All Danish activities of the Group commenced in 2006.

The Group's net interest and fee income in Denmark rose notably compared with the same period last year. The increase in the Group's Danish activities is mainly attributable to the setting up of Capinordic Bank A/S in H2 2006 and the Group's acquisition of Proviso Fondsmæglerselskab A/S in Q2 2006.

Particularly the Group's activities within Asset Management, Corporate Finance and portfolio investments made a positive contribution to Group earnings in Denmark.

Banking

The Group's banking activities in H1 2007 were satisfactory. The listing of mermaid technology a/s and Euroinvestor.com A/S was effected, and moreover a number of direct placements of shares were made for companies already listed.

The Group's corporate banking activities included various facilitation assignments and structured funding projects offered to the Group's Private Banking customers and others. The return for customers with portfolio management agreements was higher than that of comparable indices.

Also Markets saw a positive development with an increase in turnover and traded volume as well as increasing interest in the bank's analyses.

Corporate Finance focused on the implementation of a number of major projects expected to impact on the consolidated results of H2 2007.

Moreover the merger between Capinordic Bank A/S and Proviso Fondsmæglerselskab A/S became effective on 28 August 2007. The merger strengthens the Private Banking business area. The actual merger will have no effect on the Group's revenue, results, equity or number of employees.

In addition, the Capinordic Group is carrying out portfolio investments as part of its Corporate Finance activities. Examples of this type of investments are ITH Industri Invest A/S, Euroinvestor.com A/S and Aktiebog Danmark A/S.

Portfolio investments are an integral part of the aggregate activities of Capinordic. In view of the Group's own value generation, Capinordic is thus making targeted investments through limited ownership. In that connection, Capinordic is a business partner and takes an active part by supplying management expertise, procuring capital or assisting in IPOs.

At 30 June 2007, the portfolio investments came to DKK 164 million, or 14.17% of the Group's base capital.

Other activities – Capinordic Property Management A/S

The subsidiary Capinordic Property Management A/S has an administration agreement with Capee f.m.b.a., which is a listed association focusing on investments in European real property.

Capee f.m.b.a. has concluded a conditional agreement to acquire a portfolio of 70 Italian properties. The total purchase price was DKK 1,884 million. In addition, Capee f.m.b.a. invested in properties in Leipzig, Flensburg, Harburg and Hamburg in the period under review.

Capinordic in Sweden

The development in Group activities in Sweden was satisfactory. Particularly the acquisitions of Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB and Nordisk Fondservice AB are considered essential strategic investments for the Group's future activities in Sweden. Nordisk Fondservice AB will only be included in the consolidated financial statements as from 7 August 2007.

The increase in the Group's net interest and fee income in Sweden compared with the same period in 2006 is mainly due to the acquisition and consolidation of Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB. The acquisition thus implied an increase in the Group's Swedish activities.

When implementing the acquisitions, the Group spent resources on amalgamating the IT platforms of Unitfond AB and Nordisk Fondservice AB. Moreover, the Group analysed the future group and organisational structure in Sweden. The conclusion of this analysis was to commence close cooperation between Nordisk Fondservice AB and Unitfond AB. These initiatives have already proved expedient.

The activities in Sweden progress as anticipated, and the Group is seeing the expected growth in both the number of customers and capital under management. The effect of this growth is expected to impact on the consolidated results as from 2008.

DKK '000 Year to date 2007 Year to date 2006 Year
2006
Net interest and fee income 21,740 8,757 16,597
Profit
before
amortisation,

(1,155) 1,845 1,503
Profit after tax for the period (3,581) 1,284 948

Investment Services

The acquisition of Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB by Capinordic A/S became effective on 18 January 2007. Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB manages premium pension products (PPM).

The inflow of new customers to Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB was satisfactory, and returns were higher than comparable indices. Moreover, the company's integration into the Capinordic Group progressed positively.

The acquisition of Nordisk Fondservice AB by Capinordic A/S has become effective. Nordisk Fondservice AB will be included in the consolidated financial statements of Capinordic A/S as from 7 August 2007. Since the conditional purchase agreement was concluded in May 2007, Nordisk Fondservice AB has maintained a highly positive growth and has entered into 10,000 new agreements with customers and added SEK 1.1 billion to its capital under management. Nordisk Fondservice AB now manages SEK 8.5 billion. Nordisk Fondservice AB and Unitfond AB have identical business models and have therefore already started collaborating closely with positive results.

Asset Management

On 25 January 2007, Capinordic Fonder AB was licensed by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to operate an asset management company with nine investment funds in the form of fund-offunds, interest rate funds and equity funds.

With the management company Capinordic Fonder AB, the Group can centralise its management activities in Sweden, which are currently conducted by three different units. This will optimise the utilisation of the Group's knowledge capital and reduce administrative costs.

The objective of Capinordic Fonder AB is to support the expansion in Sweden and to increase the earnings per krone under management. This is to be realised by expanding the distribution network, concluding cooperation agreements with institutional investors and making other strategic alliances.

Capinordic Fonder AB caters for private, corporate as well as institutional investors. Capinordic Fonder AB has seen a positive development and now also offers a number of its funds through the PPM system.

Capinordic Fonder AB has been well received by customers, business partners and the media. The company has developed positively in the period under review in terms of new customers and the return on the capital under management.

Focal points as a consequence of growth strategy

The Group's growth strategy is based on a combination of acquisitions, organic growth and strategic alliances. Based on the Group's growth strategy, the Group focal points in H1 2007 were:

  • Acquisitions and their integration
  • Setting up a bank branch in Sweden
  • Launch of investment management companies in Denmark and in Sweden

The Capinordic Group's major acquisitions in H1 2007

    1. Dansk O.T.C Fondsmæglerselskab A/S (Dansk O.T.C.) and Dansk Autoriseret Markedsplads A/S (Dansk AMP)
    1. Nordisk Fondservice AB
    1. Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S

Dansk O.T.C.

Dansk O.T.C. is an investment service company with its registered office in Horsens, Jutland. The target group of the company comprises affluent private customers as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. Capinordic A/S finds it to be a natural strategy for the Capinordic Group to be represented in Jutland. The activities of Dansk O.T.C. are within the Capinordic Group's competence areas related to Corporate Banking, Markets, Private Financial Services and Asset Management. The integration of Dansk O.T.C. into the Capinordic Group is therefore estimated to have potential synergies in relation to the Group's other business activities, particularly the activities within asset portfolio management for affluent private individuals and Corporate Finance.

Dansk AMP

Dansk AMP is a European regulated market/stock exchange focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises. Today, 15 companies are listed on Dansk AMP, and the turnover in 2006 was DKK 461 million. Dansk AMP is not a natural element of the Capinordic Group's competence areas. MiFiD – the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive – introduces much stricter requirements for obtaining the right to operate a European regulated market/stock exchange. In the assessment of Capinordic A/S, Dansk AMP may be further developed with a view to a possible subsequent sale to stakeholders who want access to the European stockmarket.

Nordisk Fondservice AB

Nordisk Fondservice AB was founded in 1999 and manages savings in investment funds in Sweden. Particularly since 2005, the company has seen significant growth and today has 57,000 management agreements with customers and about SEK 8.5 billion under management. Nordisk Fondservice AB is currently cooperating with 22 providers of insurance products on offering asset management, including SEB, Skandia, Länsförsäkringer, CGU Life, Moderna Försäkringer and SPP.

Nordisk Fondservice AB sells its services through a distribution network consisting of independent financial advisers (insurance brokers). Nordisk Fondservice AB has concluded cooperation agreements with about 850 insurance brokers across all of Sweden about the distribution of its products. Sweden has about 1,200 insurance brokers today.

Nordisk Fondservice AB uses a specially developed and innovative IT platform to manage its relations with customers, insurance brokers and alliance partners. The IT platform materially supports the growth scenario of the company.

As part of the Capinordic Group, Nordisk Fondservice AB in combination with Unitfond AB and Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB will represent a major market share in the Swedish market for investment and savings products, both in terms of their number of customers, assets under management and the size of their distribution network. This is expected to expand the growth scenario and earnings basis of the Group in the form of exploitation of positive synergies. The synergies particularly relate to:

  • a notable increase in the Group's distribution network in the form of independent financial advisers and a notable increase in the number of insurance companies which have concluded cooperation agreements with the Group
  • cost cuts through administrative amalgamation
  • enhancement within management, product development, etc.

Unitfond AB and Nordisk Fondservice AB have already started collaborating with very positive results.

Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S

Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S manages assets for Danish investors with cash assets exceeding DKK 25 million. Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S focuses on equity investments and today has an attractive customer portfolio and DKK 1.6 billion under management.

Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S will be a wholly owned subsidiary and provides:

  • a number of attractive asset management products focused on equity investments and savings for affluent customers
  • substantial knowledge capital within equity investments and analyses as well as the sale of savings and asset management products
  • a customer portfolio comprising affluent persons, who are also the target group of Capinordic Bank A/S
  • Corporate Finance activities
  • a platform that attracts leading asset managers.

Integration of acquisitions

To optimise the investments in the subsidiaries, great focus on Group integration is required to achieve a positive exploitation of synergies between the business areas.

The Group has therefore focused on setting up a platform for IT, staff and administrative procures that can support and facilitate the exploitation of positive synergies in the form of cross sales and added sales. Moreover, the Group has implemented an HR function in large subsidiaries intended to ensure retention, attraction and enhancement of competencies in the Group.

Capinordic A/S has major financial interests in Sweden. To ensure exploitation of the positive synergies, efficient decision-making processes and an anchoring of Group interests in the Swedish subsidiaries, the companies Nordisk Fondservice AB, Monetar Pensionsförvaltning AB and Unitfond AB have elected the same supervisory board. Two notable Swedish profiles are members of this supervisory board:

  1. Lennart Andersson has had a long career in the financial sector. He is currently the chairman and co-owner of Nordisk Fondservice AB and of CGU Life AB. CGU Life AB represents the British insurance group AVIVA (previously CGNU) in Sweden. AVIVA is the world's fifth largest insurance company and the largest in Britain.

  2. Ulf Adelshon was the party leader of the Moderata Samlingspartiet from 1981 to 1986. He is now a member of the supervisory boards of Svenska Järnvägar, SEB/Tryggstiftelsens Fullmäktige, Svenskt Näringsliv and Stiftelsen Acta. In addition, Mr Adelshon is a Senior Adviser to the law office Settervalls Advokatbyrå and to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce.

Bank branch in Sweden

In H1 2007, the Capinordic Group has worked on preparations for the launch of a branch of Capinordic Bank. The branch will not be launched in H2 2007 as previously announced, but in H1 2008. The launch was postponed mainly due to a delay in the implementation of IT systems. At first, the bank focused on implementing IT systems that were compatible with the existing IT systems of Capinordic Bank A/S, but this turned out not to be feasible.

The branch will have offices in Stockholm and will probably be launched through profile campaigns, and the Group's existing companies in Sweden will also participate in the sales and marketing work of the bank. The branch will offer products within the four competence areas of the Group. However, at first the primary focus will be on investment and savings products and advisory services.

Launch of the management company Capinordic Fonder in Sweden

On 25 January 2007, the Capinordic Group launched Capinordic Fonder AB in Sweden, which offers nine funds, some of which have already been admitted to the PPM system. Since its launch, Capinordic Fonder AB has seen a positive development.

Investment management company in Denmark

The Capinordic Group continued its work in H1 2007 of setting up an investment management company. Capinordic A/S thus concluded a conditional purchase agreement on the acquisition of Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S.

Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S will be included in the Group as a wholly owned subsidiary. The Capinordic Group expects to submit an application for a licence to operate an investment management company on the basis of Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S as the legal entity. The Capinordic Group expects to apply for and receive the licence to operate an investment management company by the end of 2007/early 2008. The investment management company is to cooperate with various financial players, and some of its services will be to offer individual portfolio advice and special management products to the customers of Capinordic Bank A/S.

Steffen Rønn Fondsmæglerselskab A/S will collaborate closely with Capinordic Bank A/S on the development, sale and marketing of various asset allocation strategies, which are to be marketed to the customers of Capinordic Bank A/S, other banks, pension funds, insurance companies and others.

4. Prospects

In 2007 the Capinordic Group expects:

  • Continued growth based on a combination of acquisitions, alliances and organic growth
  • o Focus on integration of acquired companies into the Group
    • o Optimisation of investments in subsidiaries o Exploitation of positive synergies
  • Launch of an investment management company in Denmark at the end of 2007/early 2008
  • That the Group maintains its expectation of achieving a profit before amortisation, depreciation, impairment and tax at a level of DKK 150 million.

The Capinordic Group expects to launch a branch of Capinordic Bank A/S in Sweden in H1 2008.

The budgets and forecasts prepared are based on historical data and assumptions which are deemed by Management to be acceptable; however, in the nature of things, such assumptions are uncertain and unpredictable. For a detailed review of such uncertain factors and the Group's risk management, please see the Company's 2006 Annual Report.

5. Events after the end of Q2 2007

After the end of the period under review, the Capinordic Group has:

  • made a final acquisition of Nordisk Fondservice AB
  • merged the subsidiaries Proviso Fondsmæglerselskab A/S and Capinordic Bank A/S
  • published a prospectus dealing with share increases relating to two direct placements of shares against cash payment and a non-cash contribution
  • obtained a broader range of shareholders by assisting Keops A/S to reduce its ownerhsip interest in Capinordic A/S.

Final acquisition of Nordisk Fondservice AB

The acquisition of Nordisk Fondservice AB is now effective. Nordisk Fondservice AB will be included in the consolidated financial statements as from 7 August 2007. The final acquisition price was fixed at DKK 276 million. The capital increase effected as part of the payment of the acquisition price corresponds to an increase in the share capital of 4.61% and nominally amounts to DKK 2,465,970, corresponding to 4,931,940 shares of DKK 0.50 each. The shares were admitted to trading on 16 August 2007.

Broader range of owners of Capinordic

As an element of a structured sale, Keops A/S has reduced its ownership interest in Capinordic A/S. The Management of Capinordic A/S finds that the reduction of the ownership interest of Keops A/S strengthens the Company as it provides for a broader range of owners.

In connection with the sale, Claus Ørskov, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, granted an exemption to trade outside the trading window to:

  • Lasse Lindblad, CEO
  • Erik Damgaard Nielsen, Supervisory Board member
  • Ole Vagner, Supervisory Board member

The capital increase is effected through the partial exercise by the Supervisory Board of the authority granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 20 April 2007, according to which the Supervisory Board is authorised, until 20 April 2012, to carry out one or more increases of the share capital by subscription for new shares of up to a nominal amount of DKK 25,000,000, or 50,000,000 shares of DKK 0.50 each. After the capital increases listed in the table above, the Supervisory Board is thus authorised to increase the share capital by up to a nominal amount of DKK 13,769,847.

The new shares have the same rights as the other shares and accordingly entitle their holders to dividends and other rights in the company (cf. Article 8 of the Articles of Association) from the date of registration of the share capital increase with the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency.

At the Annual General Meeting on 20 April 2007, the Supervisory Board was authorised:

    1. to increase the share capital so that, for a period of five years from the adoption of the authority, the Supervisory Board is authorised to increase the share capital of the Company by subscription of new shares of a nominal value of up to twenty-five million Danish kroner (DKK 25,000,000), or fifty million (50,000,000) shares of fifty Danish øre (DKK 0.50), on the same terms as previously;
    1. to issue share options so that, for a period of five years from the adoption of the authority, the Supervisory Board is authorised to issue up to a total of three million seven hundred thousand (3,700,000) share options each entitling its holder to subscribe for one share of a nominal value of fifty Danish øre (DKK 0.50) in the Company on the same terms as previously;
    1. to buy back own shares for the period until next year's Annual General Meeting so that the Supervisory Board is authorised to have the Company acquire up to 10 per cent of the Company's own shares at the market price for shares in the Company applicable at the time of acquisition with a deviation of up to 10%;

10. Financial statements of the Capinordic Group

Accounting policies

The Group became a financial holding enterprise in 2006 and therefore has to prepare financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Business Act in future. The consolidated financial statements will continue to be prepared in accordance with the international accounting provisions.

The H1 2007 Interim Financial Report for the Parent Company and the Group has been prepared as a summary and in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the interim financial reporting requirements laid down by OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen, and the Executive Order on the Application of International Financial Reporting Standards for Enterprises Falling within the Financial Business Act (the IFRS Executive Order for financial enterprises). The application of IAS 34 means that this presentation is more limited than the presentation of a full annual report, and that the valuation principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards have been observed.

The accounting policies are unchanged as compared with the 2006 Annual Report. The 2006 Annual Report provides a full description of the accounting policies applied.

The Group has chosen to change its presentation of portfolio enterprises so that they are presented as a separate item in the balance sheet in future. The presentation (format) of the balance sheet has been adapted accordingly. This change does not affect the Group's accounting policies for recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities. Comparative figures have been restated in accordance with the change in format.

The Interim Financial Report has not been audited.

Accounting estimates and assessments

The calculation of the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities requires estimates of the impact of future events on the value of such assets and liabilities at the balance-sheet date. Estimates material to reporting are made in connection with the measurement of the Group's loans, advances and other receivables, the calculation of amortisation, depreciation and impairment, pensions and similar obligations, provisions and contingent liabilities and assets.

The estimates made are based on historical data and assumptions which are deemed by Management to be acceptable; however, in the nature of things, such assumptions are uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unexpected events or circumstances may occur. The enterprise is also subject to risks and uncertainties that may result in deviations between actual results and estimates. Special risks applicable to the Group are discussed in the 2006 Annual Report.
