SUMMARY OF EVENTS IN JULY-SEPTEMBER                                             

- The Group's net sales totalled EUR 10.7 million (EUR 1.8 million from 1
January 
to 30 September 2006).                                                          
- Consolidated earnings after taxes were EUR 7.2 million (EUR 1.1 million). 
- Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.33 (EUR 0.05). 
- A cash flow exceeding EUR 11 million was recognised as revenue from earlier

that this amount would be recognised in the second half of 2007.                

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT                                                           

During the first nine months of 2007, the net sales from the management and     
consultation of private equity investments increased by 197.1% on the previous  
year. The growth of management fees was due to both the successful raising of   
capital to the Amanda III private equity fund and the acquisition of the        
Proventure companies. The share of management fees of the net sales fell to     
22.7%, as the net investment income reached a record level. In Amanda's         
investment portfolio, consisting of 29 private equity funds, several exits were 
carried out during the third quarter of 2007, and many of these were also       
recognised as revenue during said quarter. Amanda made one new private equity   
fund investment during the period under review.

From 1 January to 30 September 2007, the consolidated net sales totalled EUR    
15.1 million (EUR 8.1 million from 1 January to 30 September 2006). Fees from   
the management and consultation of private equity funds accounted for EUR 3.4   
million (EUR 1.2 million) of the net sales. The net investment income totalled  
EUR 11.7 million (EUR 6.9 million). The profit for the first nine months of 2007
was EUR 9.3 million (EUR 5.3 million).

From 1 July to 30 September 2007, the consolidated net sales totalled EUR 10.7  
million (EUR 1.8 million from 1 July to 30 September 2006). Fees from the       
management and consultation of private equity funds accounted for EUR 1.4       
million (EUR 0.4 million) of the net sales. The net investment income was EUR   
9.2 million (EUR 1.4 million), and the profit of the Group for the third quarter
was EUR 7.2 million (EUR 1.1 million).                                          

The Group's expenses and depreciation totalled EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.4         
million). The share of personnel expenses was EUR 0.4 million (EUR 0.2 million),
and depreciation amounted to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.06 million). Other operating
expenses totalled EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.2 million).                            

BALANCE SHEET                                                                   
The consolidated balance sheet total was EUR 64.2 million (EUR                  
58.1 million), and shareholders' equity amounted to EUR 58.2 million (EUR 55.0

The Group made no business acquisitions in the third quarter of 2007. The       
merger of the Proventure companies, acquired in February 2007, with Amanda      
advances according to plans. Detailed information on the acquisition of the     
Proventure companies is presented in the appendices to this report.             

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 nine months of 2007, which corresponds to     
plans.                                                                          

At the end of the period under review, the assets under Amanda's management     
totalled EUR 1.5 billion (original investment commitments). EUR 121.7 million of
the assets under management were Amanda's own investment commitments, EUR 372.5 
million assets in the private equity funds of funds managed by Amanda, and  EUR 
1 054.9 million were covered by consultation. With these assets, investments    
have been made in more than 100 private equity funds in Europe, the US, Asia,   
and Russia.                                                                     

The raising of funds to the Amanda IV West private equity fund of funds, which  
was established by Amanda in June, was launched in autumn, and the fund will    
hold its first closing in the fourth quarter of 2007.                           


PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS                                                            

In the third quarter of 2007, Amanda Capital Plc made an investment commitment  
of five million euros in the MB Equity Fund IV private equity fund. MB Equity   
Fund IV is a Finnish private equity fund, which will continue with the previous 
investment strategy of MB Funds. The investment object of MB Funds consists of  
medium-sized companies in Scandinavia.                                          

Amanda has investments in 25 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 59.8% (59.1%). Amanda's     
over-commitment degree was 155.0% (128.5%). In the first nine months of 2007,   
the private equity funds called in capital in the amount of approximately EUR   
6.6 million and returned approximately EUR 7.6 million to the company as capital
returns and EUR 11.7 million as distribution of profits.                        

Information on Amanda's current private equity fund investments can be found on 
the company website at www.amandacapital.fi.                                    

NEW INVESTMENTS MADE BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS                                

The private equity funds in Amanda's investment portfolio made new investments  
moderately in the third quarter of 2007, e.g.:                                  

The MB IV private equity fund has acquired a company called Forchem Oy, which   
has one of the largest tall oil refineries in the world. Forchem's products are 
used in a number of chemical industry applications, such as paints, coatings,   
fuel additives, adhesives, printing inks, and pulp and paper chemicals.         

The Montagu III private equity fund acquired a company called Jemella Group     
together with the company's operative management. The company is a leading      
manufacturer and marketer of hair styling products, and it operates under the   
brand ”ghd”.                                                                    

COMPANIES DIVESTED BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS                                  

The most significant exits recognised as revenue during the third quarter:      

The Charterhouse VII private equity fund has sold its holding in Saga to a new  
company to be established. This transaction will bring together two companies,  
Saga and AA. Saga's business includes insurance operations, financial services, 
holidays, cruises, publishing operations and other services targeted at people  
aged 50 and over. AA is the UK's leading motoring organisation with more than 15
million members. AA's business operations also include insurance brokerage,     
publishing operations, and a driving school.                                    
The EQT IV private equity fund sold shares of its investment object Tognum in an
IPO. The EQT IV private equity fund's holding in Tognum will fall from 84.1% to 
19.9%. Tognum manufactures diesel engines for fast speed ferries, large yachts  
and armoured vehicles.                                                          
The MB Equity Fund II has sold its holding in Inspecta Ltd to the private equity
investor 3i. Inspecta Ltd is a company that offers testing, inspection and      
certification services. Its core business involves ensuring the safety,         
reliability, usability and quality of a variety of technical devices,           
assemblies, products, or processes within, e.g. the industrial sector, energy   
production, construction and retail.                                            
MB Funds has, together with the other owners, sold Medivire Työterveyspalvelut  
to Suomen Terveystalo. Suomen Terveystalo is the largest group of private       
medical centres in Finland and it provides health care and nursing services.    

The Permira Europe III private equity fund has sold SBS Broadcasting to         
ProSiebenSat 1 Media Ag. SBS is one of Europe's leading companies engaged in    
radio and television broadcasting.                                              

SHAREHOLDERS AND SHARE CAPITAL                                                  

The share capital of Amanda Capital Plc is EUR 11 383 873, divided into         
22 767 746 shares. The Amanda shares acquired for hedging the share-based

own shares. On 30 September 2007, Amanda Capital Plc had 3 608 shareholders.

At the end of the period under review, the Group had 14 employees (10).         

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 that covers the fund's return history, personnel,        
documentation and other factors essentially related to the administration and   
development of the fund. Final investment proposals are submitted to Amanda     
Capital Plc's Board of Directors for assessment and decision-making.            

DISPUTES                                                                        

On 30 June 2005, Helsinki District Court dismissed the lawsuits filed against   
Amanda Capital Plc by Interglobia Ltd's bankrupt's estate and Interavanti Oyj.  
On 19 September 2005, Interavanti Oyj and Interglobia's bankrupt's estate filed 
an appeal against the decision by Helsinki District Court with the Court of     
Appeal.                                                                         

Amanda Capital's management, Board of Directors and legal advisers regard the   
lawsuits as unfounded. The legal processes do not as such have any impact on    
Amanda Capital Plc's regular business operations.                               

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 2006. Also the           
calculation for key ratios is shown in the financial statements for the year    
2006. The Proventure companies, which were acquired by Amanda Capital Plc on 9  
February 2007, have been consolidated with Amanda Group from 1 January 2007. 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, which the Board of Directors
of Amanda decided on 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.                     

EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW                                            

After the period under review, Amanda has continued to raise capital to the     
Amanda IV West private equity fund established by Amanda in June. The fund will 
hold its first closing in the fourth quarter of 2007.                           

OUTLOOK OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET                                            
The private equity market has grown strongly in both Europe and globally,       
particularly in the past two years. In 2006, private equity funds raised record 
amounts of capital in Europe, about EUR 112 billion. This growth seems to       
continue in 2007, as more capital has been raised to private equity funds during
the first nine months of the year than during the corresponding period in 2006, 
both in Europe and the US. The third quarter of the year was, none the less, the
poorest fund raising quarter in more than two years.                            
Private equity funds have also been fairly successful in finding investment     
objects for their increased assets, and the well-functioning exit market has    
made exits from the target companies possible. The large amount of money that   
has flown into the industry and the good liquidity of the debt market have      
increased the average prices paid for companies during the past few years. The  
recent uncertainty in the corporate loan market may cause problems for certain  
individual target companies of private equity funds that have a high share of   
debt financing. The most part of the private equity market, however, uses debt  
financing moderately and makes appropriately priced investments that continue to
yield a return that is typical of the private equity industry. In the second    
half of 2007, there have been some signs that the exit market will not reach the
same level as the unexceptionally fast exits market in 2006 and the first half  
of 2007.                                                                        
COMPANY OUTLOOK                                                                 
Over the past two years, Amanda has 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 2007.                              
Amanda has continued its selective investment operations and has 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.
