LEVERATOR PLC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BULLETIN 1 JANUARY - 31 DECEMBER 2011



Business

Leverator Plc's (Leverator) business consists of the issue of bonds and the
grant of loans to CapMan Mezzanine IV L.P. mezzanine fund (CMM IV). Leverator's
result is formed by the difference between interest received from CMM IV's
loans and interest paid to bondholders. The issued bonds are listed on the
Helsinki Exchanges (Nasdaq OMX Helsinki). 

Bonds

Leverator has issued a serial loan with a fixed coupon interest of 8.162%. The
bonds were issued in five tranches in accordance with the loan capital needed
by CMM IV, and investors subscribed all five tranches according to their
commitments. The final size of the bond totalled MEUR 192 on 18 June 2009. The
final loan maturity is 21 June 2016. Leverator has a call option to repay the
bonds or part thereof not earlier than 22 June 2009. 

Leverator repaid 11.3% of the original loan capital, equivalent to EUR
21,701,760, in accordance with the terms of loan on 21 June 2011. The
outstanding bond loan totalled EUR 149,178,240 on 31 December 2011.

Leverator's turnover for the review period was EUR 0, because the Company's
interest earnings and interest expenses are presented as financial items in the
income statement. Leverator's operating loss was EUR 98,134 (EUR 84,337 for the
review period 1 January - 31 December 2010) and financial income and expenses
totalled EUR 301,123 (EUR 281,352). The result for the review period was EUR
150,212 (EUR 158,913). 


Leverator's solvency and risks

The security for the bonds is Leverator's receivable from CMM IV. The security
for this receivable to Leverator is CMM IV's mezzanine loan receivables from
portfolio companies as well as associated options and portfolio company shares
that are possibly subscribed on the basis of those options. 

Leverator's solvency to pay the bonds' interest and principal is based on CMM
IV's solvency to pay the loan receivable and interest to Leverator. CMM IV's
solvency is dependent on its mezzanine loan receivables from portfolio
companies and on the value of associated options or shares as well as on CMM
IV's right to call the commitments and clawback of the Fund's Limited Partners.
The most significant risks or uncertainty factors in Leverator's operations are
that the portfolio companies would not be able to pay their debt to the fund,
that the fund's Limited Partners would not be able to fulfil their obligations
in accordance with fund agreement or that the fund's solvency would be put at
risk due to some other cause. 

An examination of CMM IV's solvency to manage the loan receivable to Leverator
is first carried out in order to determine Leverator's solvency. 



CMM IV's solvency 31 December 2011

* Figures reported by CMM IV's management company taking also into account a
10% allowance for depreciation. 

** Excludes interest receivables that are outstanding or have accumulated that
are not booked in the Fund's accounts because of the uncertainty whether they
can be collected. 

As CMM IV's financial assets exceed the total loan receivables of Leverator,
the latter's receivable due from CMM IV presented below can be booked in full. 



The values given above are reported by CMM IV's management company. The
management company's assessment of the value appreciation of mezzanine loans
and associated options and shares is based on reporting principles common to
the private equity industry. These principles aim at take into account risk
factors caused by the general economic environment. The amount of commitments
and clawback that the fund has a right to call from the Fund's Limited Partners
is based on CMM IV's fund agreement. 



Leverator's solvency 31 December 2011

Total                                                149.8



Leverator's solvency exceeds the balance of the bonds.

Leverator's more detailed financial position is presented in the income
statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and cash flow
statement in Appendix 1. There are no exceptional liabilities of Leverator or
CMM IV in the knowledge of Leverator's Board of Directors that should be
considered in the above calculations. 

Leverator's ownership

The owners of Leverator Plc are CapMan Plc, Etera Mutual Pension Insurance
Company, Foundation for Economic Education, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance
Company, OP Life Assurance Company Ltd, Pharmacy Pension Fund, Mandatum Life
Insurance Company Limited, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company and
Yleisradio Pension Fund with equal holdings. 

Leverator's Board of Directors

On 4 May 2011 the shareholders of Leverator Plc elected the following members
to the Company's Board of Directors: Mr Karri Alameri, Mr Tatu Hemmo, Mrs. Nina
Härkönen, Mr Harri Lemmetti, Mr Olli Liitola, Mr Tommi Mäkelä, Mr Jyrki Orpana,
Mr Jorma Tammenaho and Mr Kyösti Ylikortes. The members elected Mr Jyrki Orpana
as Chairman of the Board. 

Future outlook

Developments in the general market environment in the next few years may
continue to cause difficulties in the ability of fund's portfolio companies to
pay interest on their mezzanine loans and repay principal to the fund in
accordance with original loan terms. Restrictions in the portfolio companies'
senior loan agreements may in certain cases prevent the companies from meeting
their interest payments in accordance with the original loan terms during 2012.
These, in turn, might weaken the fund's ability to meet in full its debt to
Leverator Plc, which would affect Leverator Plc's solvency. 

It is highly probable that Leverator Plc's interest earnings will cover its
interest payable and other expenses in 2012. 

Leverator Plc will publish its Interim Report 1 January - 31 March 2012 on 4
May 2012.
