LEVERATOR PLC INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2008                      


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 will be issued no later than 21 June 2009.           

The tranches have a maximum size of MEUR 60 each. The maximum total issue is    
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's financial performance is impacted by the time of new tranche issues.

No tranches were issued during the review period. 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 37,380 (EUR 46,223 for the review period 1 January - 30  
September 2007) and financial income and expenses totalled EUR 102,837 (EUR     
86,216). The result for the review period was EUR 36,645 (EUR 20,882).          

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 and on the     
credit limit of CMM IV. The most significant risk or uncertainty factor in      
Leverator's operations is that the portfolio companies would not be able to pay 
their debt to the fund, 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 reported by CMM IV's management company.                           

CMM IV's solvency exceeds the balance of the loan receivable to Leverator;      
therefore Leverator's receivable from CMM IV can be accounted for in full in the
calculation below.

Leverator's solvency exceeds the balance of the bonds.                          

Leverator's more detailed financial position is presented in the balance sheet, 
income statement 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, Sampo Life       
Insurance Company Ltd, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company and Yleisradio    
Pension Fund with equal holdings.                                               

Leverator's management                                                          

On 7 May 2008 the shareholders of Leverator Plc elected the following members to
the Company's Board of Directors: Mr Risto Autio, Mr Magnus Backström, 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                                                                  

According to the management's best vision, no substantial changes in Leverator's
position are expected during year 2008. The time of the next tranche issue is   
difficult to estimate. Changes in the Company's other financial position are not
expected during 2008. It is highly probable that the Company's interest earnings
will cover its interest payable and other expenses.                             

Leverator Plc will publish its Financial Statements 1 January - 31 December 2008
on 29 January 2009.
