FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT
The net sales from the management and consultation of private equity investments
totalled EUR 4.3 million (1 Jan. to 31 Dec. 2009.) The net investment income was
EUR 5.3 million negative. The loss arose when Amanda sold investment commitments
worth EUR 20 million, realised the LPE investment and made a write-down of EUR
1.9 million through profit and loss account. The private equity portfolio gave a
profit of EUR 0.5 million during the period under review. Adding up the fee
income and the net investment income, the consolidated net sales totalled EUR
-1.0 million. The assets under management were at the same level as at the end
of 2008, approximately EUR 2 600 million.
The private equity market continued to be challenging, but towards the end of
the year we saw some positive signs of recovery in the market. There were a few
exits in Amanda's investment portfolio consisting of 28 private equity funds
during the financial period, and the market values of the target funds increased
clearly in the last quarter. Consequently, we estimate that we have now seen the
bottom of the private equity investment market and that a turn for the better
has taken place. Due to the market situation, the exit market is, however,
likely to remain challenging in the near future as well.
Financial development in the period under review
Fees from the management and consultation of private equity funds, from 1 Jan.
to 31 Dec. 2009, accounted for EUR 4.3 million (EUR 4.6 million from 1 Jan. to
31 Dec. 2008). The net investment income was EUR -5.3 million (EUR 1.5 million),
including a profit of EUR 0.5 million from exits in the private equity fund
portfolio, a loss of EUR 2.8 million, from the realisation of the Amanda LPE
Fund, a loss of EUR 1.2 million from the sale of investment commitments worth
EUR 20 million and a write-down of EUR 1.9 million. Adding up the fee income and
the net investment income, the consolidated net sales totalled EUR -1.0 million
(EUR 6.1 million). The result for the financial period was EUR -2.6 million (EUR
-1.3 million).
The Group's expenses and depreciation totalled EUR 3.5 million (EUR 8.2
million). Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.6 million) and
depreciation was EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.7 million). Other operating expenses
totalled EUR 1.4 million (EUR 5.9 million). The other operating expenses of the
comparison period included expenses of EUR 4.2 million resulting from the
settlement between Amanda and Interglobia's bankrupt's estate and Interavanti
Oyj.
Financial development in the last quarter of 2009
Fees from the management and consultation of private equity funds from 1 Oct. to
31 Dec. 2009 accounted for EUR 1.1 million (EUR 1.2 million from 1 Oct. to 31
Dec. 2008). The net investment income totalled EUR -1.8 million (EUR -2.1
million), including a write-down of EUR 1.9 million with an impact on the
company result. Adding up the fee income and the net investment income the
consolidated net sales totalled EUR -0.8 million (EUR -0.9 million). The result
for the last quarter of 2009 was EUR -0.3 million (EUR -1.5 million).

3.0 million (EUR 3.5 million) of the short-term debt was interest-bearing, and

MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION OF PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENTS
During the period under review, Amanda has started to raise means to a private
equity fund of funds called Amanda V East. The fund makes investments in
unlisted companies in Russia and Eastern Europe through private equity funds.
The target size of the fund is EUR 150 million.
The management and consultation of private equity investments generated EUR 4.3
million of net sales during the financial period, which corresponds to
expectations.
At the end of the period under review, the assets under Amanda's management
totalled EUR 2.6 billion (original investment commitments). EUR 113.0 million of
the assets under management were Amanda's own investment commitments, EUR 441.7
million assets in the private equity funds of funds managed by Amanda, and EUR
2.1 billion was covered by consultation. With these assets, investments have
been made in more than 150 private equity funds in Europe, the USA, Asia and
Russia.
INVESTMENT OPERATIONS
In 2009, Amanda Capital Plc did not make any new, direct investments in private
equity funds. The investments that Amanda has previously made in the private
equity funds of funds managed by Amanda continued, however, with their active
investment operations.
Amanda has investments in 23 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 79.0% (78.2%). Amanda's
over-commitment degree was 161.6% (209.9%). During the period under review, the
private equity funds called in capital in the amount of approximately EUR 4.6
million and returned approximately EUR 1.0 million to the company as capital
returns and EUR 0.5 million as distribution of profits. A loss of EUR 1.2
million is recorded in the income statement, as Amanda sold investment
commitments worth EUR 20 million, and a write-down of EUR 1.9 million with an
impact on the company result.
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
During the period under review, the private equity funds in Amanda's investment
portfolio concentrated on the management of the existing investment objects. In
the last quarter of 2009, the EQT V private equity fund acquired a Polish
company called HTL-Strefa S.A. The company manufactures, sells and markets
lancing systems. In addition, the EQT V private equity fund announced that it
will acquire the business operations of Springer Science+Business Media, which
is the world's second largest publisher of scientific, technical and medical
journals.
COMPANIES DIVESTED BY THE PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS
In the last quarter of the financial year, the following exits took place in
Amanda's portfolio:
Balderton I private equity fund sold its share in a company called ScanSafe to
Cisco Systems. ScanSafe is the leading web security provider for SaaS Web
companies. In addition, the fund has sold part of its holding in Yoox S.p.A,
when this company was listed. Yoox is a web shop of designer clothes with
operations in 57 countries. Amanda has received the proceeds in the first
quarter of 2010.
Montagu Private Equity III fund has made an agreement on selling a company
called British Car Auction to Clayton, Dubilier & Ricelle. The company is the
leading vehicle auction company in Europe. Proceeds to Amanda are expected in
the first half of 2010.

AstraZenecalle. The company specialises in developing antibiotics designed to
overcome the increasing global problem of microbial resistance. Proceeds to
Amanda are expected in the first half of 2010.
After the period under review, Finnventure Rahasto V private equity fund has
agreed to sell its share in a company called Pretax. Pretax is the leading
Scandinavian company within payroll and financial management services. Proceeds
to Amanda are expected in the first half of 2010.

SHAREHOLDERS, SHARE CAPITAL AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The shareholders' equity of Amanda Capital Plc is EUR 11 383 873, divided into
22 767 746 shares.
The Annual General Meeting of Amanda Capital Plc held on 30 March 2009
authorised the Board of Directors to repurchase the company's own shares. The
authorisation was not used during the period under review.
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 475 618 own shares acquired
for hedging the share-based incentive plan and 91 657 own shares acquired based
on authorisations by General Meetings, in total 567 275 shares. Amanda Capital

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the period under review, the Trade Register gave Amanda the permission to
cut down the share premium reserve according to the company balance sheet of 31
December 2007 by EUR 18 926 777.92 and the legal reserve according to the
company balance sheet of 31 December 2007 by EUR 10 687 579.69. These amounts
were transferred to the reserve for invested unrestricted equity.
OPTIONS PROGRAMME
Based on an authorisation by the Annual General Meeting held on 30 March 2009,
the Board of Directors decided to issue a maximum of 2 000 000 option rights to
key employees of the Amanda Capital Plc Group, selected by the Board. The
company has a weighty financial reason for issuing option rights, as the option
rights are intended to be part of the incentive and commitment scheme for the
key personnel.
The option rights entitle their holders to subscribe for a maximum total of
2 000 000 new shares in the company. During the third quarter of the year,
1 350 000 option rights were subscribed for. The terms of the options programme
can be found in the stock exchange release published on 16 June 2009.
PERSONNEL
At the end of the period under review, the Group had 15 employees (15
employees). The salaries and wages paid to the personnel totalled EUR 1.4
million (EUR 1.6 million) during the financial 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.
The exits of private equity funds from their target companies have a major
impact on liquidity. The international credit crisis has had a strong impact on
the private equity business. As a result of the credit crisis, the liquidity,
pricing and terms of the loan market have become tighter. The financial market
will remain cautious, but it can be expected that the market for mergers and
acquisitions and thereby the return of capital to investors will recover slowly.
On the other hand, 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 liquidity.
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 year end report, as Amanda still has only one operating segment.
The year end 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 year end 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 release has been audited.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
After the period under review, Amanda published a stock exchange release
announcing that it has been informed of exits from the private equity fund
portfolio that give Amanda a cash flow exceeding one million euros.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Amanda Capital Plc's Corporate Governance Statement will be issued as a separate
document from the Report by the Board of Directors 2010 during week 12.
OUTLOOK OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET
The international credit crisis and the following economic recession have 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 the market for
mergers and acquisitions and thereby the return of capital to investors will
recover gradually. 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
remain modest until the risks of the international financial market can be
identified and the trust between the market parties can be re-established.
Towards the end of 2009, there were clear signs of recovery in the market for
mergers and acquisitions, and we believe that we have now seen the bottom of the
private equity investment market and a turn for the better has taken place. 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 globally
owing to the good 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 2010. As the operations of Amanda V
East private equity fund will be launched during the financial period, we expect
that our management fee will develop favourably in 2010.
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.
