equity funds, in the third quarter was lower than during the corresponding      
period last year.

three quarters of 2008. During the corresponding period last year, in February  
2007, Amanda acquired the Proventure companies, which have been included in the 
Group's figures from the beginning of the comparison period.                    

MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION OF PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENTS                       

The management and consultation of private equity investments generated EUR 3.4 
million of net sales in the first three quarters of 2008, which corresponded to 
expectations.                                                                   

During the period under review, Amanda has invested EUR 1.25 million in the     
Amanda LPE Fund. Amanda established the fund in the second quarter of 2008. The 
Amanda SICAV-SIF - Liquid Private Equity Fund (”Amanda LPE”) makes investments  
globally in listed private equity companies and funds.                          

The fundraising to the Amanda IV West private equity fund of funds will continue
actively until November 2008. By the end of the reporting period, a total of EUR
90.0 million has been raised to the fund.                                       

At the end of the period under review, the assets under Amanda's management     
totalled EUR 2.4 billion (original investment commitments). EUR 122.8 million of
the assets under management were Amanda's own investment commitments, EUR 440.6 
million assets in the private equity funds of funds managed by Amanda, and EUR  
1.8 billion were covered by consultation. With these assets, investments have   
been made in more than 100 private equity funds in Europe, the USA, Asia and    
Russia.                                                                         

INVESTMENT OPERATIONS                                                           

During the period under review, Amanda Capital Plc made no new investments in   
private equity funds, but it increased its degree of investment by making an    
investment in the Amanda LPE Fund. Investments made in private equity funds are 
not evenly divided between the different quarters of the year.                  

Amanda has investments in 24 private equity funds and four private equity funds 
of funds under the company's own management. Amanda's degree of investment (book
value of private equity investments per equity) was 78.1% (59.8%). The degree of
investment including the Amanda LPE investment was 87.5%. Amanda's              
over-commitment degree was 177.4% (155.0%). In the first three quarters of 2008,
the private equity funds called in capital in the amount of approximately EUR   
7.5 million and returned approximately EUR 3.5 million to the company as capital
returns and EUR 3.3 million as distribution of profits.

NEW INVESTMENTS MADE BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS                                

The private equity funds in Amanda's investment portfolio continued with a      
moderate investment pace in the challenging market situation. Below are some    
examples of the investments made in the third quarter:                          

The Amanda IV West Private Equity Fund's target fund Norvestor V private equity

Amanda's portfolio:                                                             

The Permira III Europe private equity fund sold a company called Jet Aviation   
Holding AG. Jet Aviation is a leading independent provider of business aviation

Amanda during the fourth quarter of 2008.                                       

The Finnventure V private equity fund sold its share in StaffPoint Oy to        
G.W.Sohlberg Ab, Varma and the operative management of the company. StaffPoint

SHAREHOLDERS AND SHARE CAPITAL                                                  

The share capital of Amanda Capital Plc is EUR 11 383 873, divided into         
22 767 746 shares.                                                              

On 13 August 2008, Amanda Capital Plc's Board of Directors decided to repurchase
its own shares, based on an authorisation by the Annual General Meeting. The    
purchased shares will be used, in accordance with the authorisation, for the    
development of the company's capital structure, for nullification, in possible  
personnel incentive and compensation schemes or as payment in business          
acquisitions and other arrangements, or if the Board of Directors otherwise     
deems that this is an advantageous way of using liquid assets. The authorisation
also covers the transfer of the own shares repurchased by the company and their 
use in the above described way, in a manner and at a price separately decided by
the Board of Directors. According to the authorisation by the Annual General    
Meeting, a maximum of 2 200 000 shares may be repurchased. During the period    
under review, the company purchased 3 400 shares.                               

The Amanda shares acquired for hedging the share-based incentive plan for the   
Group personnel, which the Board of Directors of Amanda decided on in June 2007,
are interpreted as acquisition of own shares in accordance with IFRS. At the end
of the period under review, Amanda held a total of 478 911 own shares. On 30    
September 2008, Amanda Capital Plc had 3 778 shareholders.                      

The ten largest shareholders as of 30 September 2008

At the end of the period under review, the Group had 16 employees (14           
employees). The salaries and wages paid to the personnel totalled EUR 1.1       
million (EUR 1.1 million) in the first three quarters of the year. The personnel
expenses comprise periodisation of expenses of EUR 0.1 million related to the   
personnel incentive plan. This amount has no impact on the cash flow. During the
period under review, 60 shares were returned to the company from the share-based
personnel incentive plan.                                                       

ESSENTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATIONS                

The risks associated with Amanda Group's business mainly consist of             
investment-related risks, i.e. the market risk and foreign exchange risk. Risks 
are managed comprehensively through an investment process and investment        
strategy confirmed by Amanda Capital Plc's Board of Directors.                  

The investment objects are selected through an investment process, in which the 
Investment Committee screens potential investment objects that are subjected to 
a Due Diligence review. At the Due Diligence stage, the fund's return history,  
personnel, documentation and other factors essentially related to the           
administration and development of the fund are examined. The final investment   
proposals are submitted to Amanda Capital Plc's Board of Directors for          
assessment and decision-making.                                                 

PRINCIPLES FOR DRAWING UP THE REPORT                                            

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards, IFRS, and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, approved by  
the EU. In the preparation of the interim report, Amanda has applied the same   
principles as in the financial statements for the year 2007. The calculation of 
the key ratios is presented in the financial statements. As for the net         
investment income, Amanda Capital's net sales are recognised in Amanda's income 
statement in different quarters due to factors independent of the company.      

The administration of the personnel incentive plan, on which the Board of       
Directors of Amanda decided on 15 June 2007, has been outsourced to Alexander   
Management Ltd. As part of the outsourcing, Alexander Management has purchased a
number of Amanda shares from the market. These purchases are treated as         
purchases of own shares in IFRS reporting.                                      

The information in the interim report has not been audited.                     

OUTLOOK OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET                                            

The past five years have been a period of strong growth for the private equity  
business, both in Europe and globally. In 2006, private equity funds raised     
record amounts of capital in Europe, about EUR 112 billion. The corresponding   
figure for 2007 was only about EUR 80 billion, due to the poor development      
towards the end of the year. The international credit crisis has had an impact  
on the private equity business in the second half of 2007 and at the beginning  
of 2008, as banks have become less willing to provide financing above all for   
large buyout deals. Loan financing for small and medium-sized buyout investments
has, however, been available despite the credit crisis.                         

As a result of the credit crisis, the liquidity, pricing and terms of the loan  
market have become tighter. The prices of business acquisitions are expected to 
normalise at a lower level than in the past years. The financial market and     
economy as a whole have become more cautious, and exits from target companies   
and the return of capital to investors are likely to slow down on short term.   
The most part of the private equity market has, however, used debt financing    
moderately and made appropriately priced investments that are expected to       
continue to yield a return that is typical of the private equity industry. The  
establishment of new private equity funds is expected to slow down until the    
risks of the international financial market can be identified and the trust     
between the market parties can be re-established.                               

At the moment, private equity funds have at their disposal a record amount of   
capital for new investments, which will look for investment objects during the  
following 3 to 4 years. Private equity investments have proven to be a          
competitive way of owning and managing companies, and the global growth of the  
private equity business is expected to continue owing to the good returns.      

COMPANY OUTLOOK                                                                 

Amanda has, in accordance with its strategy, expanded its business from         
investment operations to the management and consultation of private equity      
investments by carrying out two business acquisitions and by establishing two   
private equity funds. The management of private equity investments is           
characterised by long-term management agreements that produce a stable cash flow
and improve the predictability of the company's net sales and result. The       
expansion of business operations has reduced the sensitivity of Amanda's result 
to fluctuations in investment income. The company aims at increasing its        
management operations in future, too, both organically by establishing new funds
and through possible business acquisitions. Based on the effective agreements,  
the net sales of this business area will exceed EUR 4.0 million in 2008. Amanda 
plans to launch at least one new fund in 2008, in addition to the Amanda LPE    
Fund, which started its investment operations in May.                           
Amanda has continued with its selective investment operations and mainly        
concentrated its investments in private equity funds targeting more mature      
companies. This strategy has resulted in excellent returns, and the long-term   
returns on investments are expected to remain good for the foreseeable future. A
quarter is, however, too short a period for measuring the success of investment 
operations in the private equity business, where the investment horizon is      
several years.
