Leverator's turnover for the accounting 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 93,632 (EUR 94,313 for the
review period 1 January - 31 December 2012) and financial income and expenses
totalled EUR 280,196 (EUR 350,750). The result for the accounting period was
EUR 140,856 (EUR 193,610). 





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 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.

* Figures by CMM IV's management company, as reported or with a discount.

** Excludes interest receivables that are outstanding or have accumulated that
are not booked in the Fund's accounts because of the uncertainty whether they
can be collected. 

CMM IV's financial assets exceed the total loan receivables of Leverator by
€7.2 million on 31 December 2013 and therefore the latter's receivable due from
CMM IV presented below can be booked in full. CMM IV's financial assets
exceeded the total loan receivables of Leverator by €8.7 million on 30
September 2013 and by €10.5 million on 31 December 2012. 



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 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 3 May 2013 the shareholders of Leverator Plc elected the following members
to the Company's Board of Directors: Mr Tatu Hemmo, Mrs Nina Härkönen, Mr
Staffan Jåfs, Mr Harri Lemmetti, Mr Olli Liitola, Mr Tommi Mäkelä, Mrs Katja
Salovaara, Mr Tomi Viia, and Mr Kyösti Ylikortes. The members elected Mr Tatu
Hemmo 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. Restrictions in the portfolio companies'
senior loan agreements may in certain cases prevent the companies from meeting
their interest payments in accordance with the original loan terms during 2014.
The aforementioned issues might, in turn, weaken the fund's ability to meet its
debt to Leverator Plc in full, which would affect Leverator Plc's solvency. It
is possible that the fund's solvency weakens further during 2014. 



It is probable that Leverator Plc's interest earnings will cover its interest
payable and other expenses in 2014. 



Leverator Plc will publish its Interim Report 1 January-31 March 2014 on 8 May
2014.
