Carried interest income impacts the profitability of our operations significantly and was the main reason that our profit for the review period more than doubled from last year. We strengthened our balance sheet and the financial position of the Group by selling a portion of our Maneq investments. The transaction is part of our preparation to repay the hybrid loan, which is possible in December at the earliest. The developments in the first six months of 2013 provide a foundation for the balance of management fees and expenses also during the second half of the year." CapMan maintains outlook for 2013: The development of management fees during 2013 depends on the timing of exits made from current funds and the size and timing of new funds under establishment. We are adjusting our operating costs to match the level of management fees and anticipate that our management fees will cover our expenses as of the second half of 2013. Our current portfolio holds several investments, which we are ready to exit during 2013. The timing of such exits will impact the results of our Management Company business for 2013 through carried interest income from funds, in the event that the fund is in carry or about to enter carry as a result of the exit. The result of our Fund Investment business will mainly depend on the value development of investments in those funds, in which CapMan is a substantial investor. We continue our value creation effort in our portfolio companies and believe that the fair values of our fund investments will develop positively during the current year. We estimate our operating profit to increase from the level obtained in 2012.
