Leverator Plc     Stock Exchange Release		7 August 2009 at 10.00 a.m.           



LEVERATOR PLC INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2009                           


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.                                                                      

Bonds                                                                           

Leverator has issued a serial loan with a fixed coupon interest of 8.162%. The  
bonds will be issued in a maximum of five tranches in accordance with the loan  
capital needed by CMM IV, and investors have committed to subscribe all five    
tranches. The last tranche was issued on 18 June 2009 and the final size of the 
bond totalled MEUR 192.                                                         

The bonds' trading lot is MEUR 0.5 and 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. In the event that the bonds are called prior to 22 June 2011, a   
premature payment premium is paid as specified in the listing particulars.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Leverator issued fourth and fifth tranches during the review period. The size of
the fourth tranche was MEUR 36.0 and the subscription price was 97.389%. The    
tranche was listed on 5 May 2009. The size of the fifth tranche was MEUR 60.0   
and the subscription price was 98.468 %. The fifth and last tranche was listed  
on 25 June 2009.                                                                

During the review period Leverator forwarded a total of MEUR 96.0 loan to CMM IV
from the proceeds received from the issue of the fourth and fifth tranches.     

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 33,937 (EUR 28,431 for the 
review period 1 January - 30 June 2008) and financial income and expenses       
totalled EUR 73,766 (EUR 67,947). The result for the review period was EUR      
23,183 (EUR 22,637).                                                            

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leverator's solvency exceeds the balance of the bonds.                          

Leverator's more detailed financial position is presented in the income         
statement, balance sheet, 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 management                                                          

On 12 May 2009 the shareholders of Leverator Plc elected the following members  
to the Company's Board of Directors: Mr Risto Autio, Mr Karri Alameri, Mr Kari  
Joutsa, Mr Harri Lemmetti, Mr Olli Liitola, Mr Jyrki Orpana, Mr Jorma Tammenaho,
Mr Hannu Tarkkonen and Mr Kyösti Ylikortes. The members elected Mr Jyrki Orpana 
as Chairman of the Board.                                                       

Adoption of IFRS standards (IAS)                                                

As of 1 January 2007, Leverator Plc has adopted International Financial         
Reporting Standards (IFRS) in its financial reporting.                          


Future outlook                                                                  

Developments in the general market environment in the next few years may cause  
difficulties in the ability of fund's portfolio companies to pay interest on    
their mezzanine loans and repay principal to the fund. This, 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 the Company's       
interest earnings will cover its interest payable and other expenses in 2009.   

Leverator Plc will publish its Interim Report 1 January - 30 September 2009 on  
30 October 2009.
