Leverator’s operating loss was EUR 33,937 (EUR 28,431 for the review period 1 January – 30 June 2008) and financial income and expenses totalled EUR 73,766 (EUR 67,947). The result for the review period was EUR 23,183 (EUR 22,637).

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.

CMM IV’s solvency

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 solvency

Leverator’s solvency exceeds the balance of the bonds.

Leverator’s more detailed financial position is presented in the income statement, balance sheet, 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

On 12 May 2009 the shareholders of Leverator Plc elected the following members to the Company’s Board of Directors: Mr Risto Autio, Mr Karri Alameri, Mr Kari Joutsa, Mr Harri Lemmetti, Mr Olli Liitola, Mr Jyrki Orpana, Mr Jorma Tammenaho, Mr Hannu Tarkkonen and Mr Kyösti Ylikortes.

Adoption of IFRS standards (IAS)

As of 1 January 2007, Leverator Plc has adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in its financial reporting.

Future outlook

Developments in the general market environment in the next few years may cause difficulties in the ability of fund’s portfolio companies to pay interest on their mezzanine loans and repay principal to the fund. This, 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 2009.

Leverator Plc will publish its Interim Report 1 January – 30 September 2009 on 30 October 2009.
