LEVERATOR PLC INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 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. Leverator has 
repaid 11% of the original loan capital, equivalent to EUR 21,120,000, on 21    
December 2010. Consequently the outstanding bond loan totalled EUR 149,178,240  
on 30 June 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 39,934 (EUR 31,866 for the 
review period 1 January - 30 June 2010) and financial income and expenses       
totalled EUR 113,592 (EUR 143,352). The result for the review period was EUR    
54,474 (EUR 82,501).                                                            




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.

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. Net cash    
assets MEUR 18.2 include MEUR 4.8 interest receivables, which CMM IV's portfolio
companies have been unable to pay in accordance with original loan terms to CMM 
IV due to restrictions in the portfolio companies' senior loan agreements.  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 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. The amount of unpaid interest receivables  
mentioned under CMM IV's solvency is expected to rise during 2011. 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 the Company's interest earnings will cover its       
interest payable and other expenses in 2011.
