FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT                                                           

The net sales of the period under review (1 Jan. to 31 March 2009) were         
negative, as a loss of EUR 2.8 million was realised from the Liquid Private     
Equity investment. Amanda's LPE Fund has been realised in full. The private     
equity portfolio gave a profit of EUR 0.4 million during the period under       
review, which means that the net investment income totalled EUR -2.4 million.   
During the period under review, the net sales from the management and           
consultation of private equity investments totalled EUR 1.1 million. The assets 
under Amanda's management were at the same level as at the end of 2008,         
approximately EUR 2 500 million.                                                

Due to the challenging market situation and the difficulties to obtain debt     
financing, the exits in Amanda's investment portfolio consisting of 28 private  
equity funds came to an almost total standstill. The valuation of Amanda's      
private equity fund portfolio also decreased during the period under review. We 
estimate that the exit market will remain challenging in the near future due to 
the present market situation.                                                   

Financial development during the period under review                            

From 1 Jan. to 31 March 2009, the consolidated net sales totalled EUR -1.3      
million (EUR 2.3 million from 1 Jan. to 31 March 2008). Fees from the management
and consultation of private equity funds accounted for EUR 1.1 million (EUR 1.1 
million). The net investment income totalled EUR -2.4 million (EUR 1.3 million),
including a loss of EUR 2.8 million from the realisation of the Amanda LPE Fund,
with an impact on the company result. The result for the period was EUR -1,6    
million (EUR 1.0 million).                       

The Group's expenses and depreciation totalled EUR 0.9 million (EUR 1.2         
million). Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.5 million) and  
depreciation was EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million). Other operating expenses    
totalled EUR 0.4 million (EUR 0.6 million).                                     

BALANCE SHEET
The consolidated balance sheet total was EUR 41.5 million (EUR                  
57.2 million) and shareholders' equity amounted to EUR 37.8 million (EUR 51.0   
million). EUR 2.5 million (0.0) of the short-term debt was interest-bearing, and
the remaining EUR 1.2 million (EUR 6.2 million) was interest-free short-term    
debt. Amanda's equity to assets ratio was high at 91.1% (89.2%). Of the balance 
sheet total, 67.6%  (64.0%) was invested in private equity and 13.3% (24.4%) in 
liquid assets. Consolidated goodwill accounted for 4.3% (3.1%) of the balance   
sheet total and other intangible assets amounted to 10.0% (8.1%). The other     
balance sheet items accounted for 4.8% (0.4%).                                  


MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION OF PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENTS                       

The management and consultation of private equity investments generated EUR 1.1 
million of net sales during the period under review, which corresponds to       
expectations.                                                                   

The fundraising of Amanda IV West private equity fund of funds has ended, and   
the total size of the fund is EUR 90.0 million.                                 

After the end of the period under review, the Financial Supervision Authority   
granted Amanda Capital Plc's fully owned subsidiary Amanda Advisors Ltd the     
license to act as investment firm.                                              

At the end of the period under review, the assets under Amanda's management     
totalled EUR 2.5 billion (original investment commitments). EUR 132.6 million of
the assets under management were Amanda's own investment commitments, EUR 442.3 
million assets in the private equity funds of funds managed by Amanda, and EUR  
1.9 billion were covered by consultation. With these assets, investments have   
been made in more that 100 private equity funds in Europe, the USA, Asia and    
Russia.                                                                         


INVESTMENT OPERATIONS                                                           

In the first quarter of 2009, Amanda Capital Plc did not make any new           
investments in private equity funds. 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 five 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 74.2% (71.8%). Amanda's     
over-commitment degree was 215.3% (173.0%). During the period under review, the 
private equity funds called in capital in the amount of approximately EUR 0.9   
million and returned approximately EUR 0.2 million to the company as capital    
returns and EUR 0.4 million as distribution of profits.

During the period under review, the private equity funds in Amanda's investment 
portfolio concentrated on the management of the existing investment objects, and
the target funds made no new investments.                                       


COMPANIES DIVESTED BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING                                                   

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Amanda Capital Plc, which was held on 30    
March 2009 in Helsinki, dealt with the following matters:                       

Discharge from liability                                                        

The AGM confirmed the company's financial statements for the year 2008 and      
discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from the liability 
for the financial year.                                                         

Use of the result shown on the balance sheet                                    

The AGM confirmed the proposal by the Board of Directors, according to which the
result for the financial year of EUR -8 220 600.57 will be entered in the profit
and loss account and no dividend will be paid out.                              

Board of Directors and remuneration                                             

The AGM re-elected the following persons to the Board of Directors: Peter       
Fagernäs, Esa Karppinen, Pertti Laine, Petri Niemisvirta and Topi Piela. The AGM
decided that a remuneration of EUR 2 000 per month will be paid to the Chairman 
of the Board and EUR 1 000 per month to the members of the Board of Directors.  
The Board convened immediately after the AGM and elected Topi Piela as Chairman 
of the Board.                                                                   

Auditors                                                                        

The Authorised Public Accounting Firm Ernst & Young Oy, with Kunto Pekkala, APA,
as the auditor in charge will continue as auditor of the company.               

Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well  
as the issuance of special rights entitling to shares                           

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of a maximum
of 11 000 000 shares through a share issue and/or by issuing warrants and/or    
other special rights entitling to shares, referred to in chapter 10 section 1 of
the Limited Liability Companies Act, in one or several instalments in accordance
with the proposal by the Board of Directors. The Board may decide to issue      
either new shares or own shares already held by the company. The maximum amount 
of the proposed authorisation corresponds to approximately 48.3% of all the     
company shares at the date of the AGM. It is proposed that the authorisation be 
used for financing and carrying out possible business acquisitions or other     
arrangements, for consolidating the company's balance sheet and financing       
position, for carrying out commitment and incentive schemes for the personnel or
for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors. It is further proposed    
that the authorisation comprise the right of the Board of Directors to decide on
all the terms of the share issue and the issuance of special rights according to
chapter 10 section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, including the      
persons who will receive the shares or special rights entitling to shares and   
the amount of the consideration to be paid. Therefore, the authorisation        
comprises the right to issue shares or special rights in deviation from the     
shareholders' pre-emptive rights (directed issue), as set out by law. It is     
proposed that the authorisation cancel previous corresponding authorisations and
be in force until 31 December 2010.                                             

The authorisation of the Board of Directors to acquire and transfer the         
company's own shares                                                            

The AGM authorised the Board to resolve to repurchase a maximum of 2 200 000    
company shares with means included in the company's unrestricted equity so that 
the company together with its subsidiaries at no time holds or holds as pledge  
more than 10 per cent of all the company shares. Shares may be acquired for     
developing the company's capital structure, for nullification or for use in     
accordance with possible personnel incentive and compensation schemes or as     
consideration in business acquisitions and other arrangements. The shares shall 
be repurchased at a market price formed in public trading at Nasdaq OMX         
Helsinki. The repurchase may be made otherwise than in proportion to the        
shareholdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase), provided that the      
company has a weighing financial reason for doing so. It is proposed that the   
authorisation cancel previous corresponding authorisations and be in force 18   
months from the date of the decision.                                           


SHAREHOLDERS AND SHARE CAPITAL                                                  

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

The Board of Directors of Amanda Capital Plc decided to repurchase its own      
shares, based on an authorisation by the AGM held in 2008. During the period    
under review, the company repurchased a total of 8 237 own shares, and at the   
end of the period the company held 91 657 own shares in total.                  

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 567 275 own shares. On 31    
March 2009, Amanda Capital Plc had 3 746 shareholders.                          

The ten largest shareholders as of 31 March 2009

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER                                                         

The Board of Directors of Amanda Capital Plc appointed Martin Paasi, M.Sc.      
(Econ.), CEFA, CEO of the company. He took over the job on 9 March 2009.        


PERSONNEL                                                                       

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 0.3       
million (EUR 0.5 million) during the period.                                    


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, foreign exchange risk and       
liquidity 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.                                                 

Liquidity risk                                                                  

The Group's liquidity is monitored continuously, and good liquidity is          
maintained by only investing the surplus liquidity in objects with a low risk,  
which can be turned into cash rapidly and at a clear market price. The          
availability and flexibility of financing has been arranged with a limit promise
from a credit institution.                                                      


PRINCIPLES FOR DRAWING UP THE REPORT                                            

From 1 January 2009, the Group has applied the following amended standard: IAS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements. The amended standard has an impact on the 
manner of presenting the Income Statement. From 1 January 2009, the Group has   
applied the new IFRS 8 standard, Operating Segments, but it has not had any     
impact on the interim report, as Amanda still has only one operating segment.   

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 2008. 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 information in the interim report has not been audited.                     


EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD                                               

After the end of the period under review, the Financial Supervision Authority   
granted Amanda Capital Plc's fully owned subsidiary Amanda Advisors Ltd the     
license to act as investment firm.                                              

The Board of Directors of Amanda has decided to end the operations of the Amanda
Liquid Private Equity fund in its present form. As part of this process, a loss 
of EUR 2.8 million for said investment has been included in the result of the   
period under review.                                                            

After the end of the period under review, the trade register gave permission to 
Amanda to transfer the Share Premium Reserve, at 31 December 2007 by EUR 18 926 
777.92 and the Other Reserves at 31 December 2007 shall be decreased by EUR 10  
687 579.69 by transferring all the funds to the Company's reserve for invested  
unrestricted equity. After the transfers of the funds, both Share Premium       
Reserve and Other Reserves are nil.                                             


OUTLOOK OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET                                            

The private equity business has gone through a period of strong growth, both in 
Europe and globally, up to the end of 2007. As the economic situation started to
deteriorate in 2008, the situation also became more challenging for the private 
equity industry. The international credit crisis has had a strong impact on the 
private equity business. The credits granted by banks for above all large buyout
deals have been reduced, and it has also become more difficult to get loan      
financing for small and medium-sized buyout investments.                        

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 has     
become more cautious as a whole, and it can be expected that exits from target  
companies and the return of capital to investors will slow down in the short    
term. The most part of the private equity market has 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 in the
long term. 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 large amount of    
capital for new investments during the following 3 to 4 years. Private equity   
investments have proven to be a competitive way of owning and managing          
companies. The private equity business is expected to continue to grow owing to 
the good global returns.                                                        


COMPANY OUTLOOK                                                                 

The expansion of Amanda's business from investment operations to the management 
and consultation of private equity investments has proven to be a good strategy.
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 2009.                              

Amanda has continued with its selective investment operations and mainly        
concentrated its investments in private equity funds targeting later stage      
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.
