The Fund is an unincorporated co-proprietorship of its securities and other assets, managed by Carnegie Fund Management Company S.A. ( the Management Company ). The Management Company was incorporated on 5 December 1995 in Luxembourg as a société anonyme. The assets of the Fund are segregated from those of the Management Company. For the purposes of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers ( AIFM ) Law, the Fund qualifies as an Alternative Investment Fund ( AIF ) within the meaning of the AIFM Law. The Fund has appointed Carnegie Fund Services S.A. as its AIFM. The Fund has the following Sub-Funds: - Carnegie Fund II - Biotechnology Sub-Fund (Open-ended) until 11 December Carnegie Fund II - Fund of Funds International (Open-ended) - Carnegie Fund II - Private Equity I Sub-Fund (Closed-ended) - Carnegie Fund II - Private Equity II Sub-Fund (Closed-ended) - Carnegie Fund II - Swedish Large Cap Sub-Fund (Open-ended) until 11 December Carnegie Fund II - Swedish Small Cap Sub-Fund (Open-ended) until 11 December 2014 Subscriptions and redemptions for the Carnegie Fund II Private Equity I Sub-Fund and Carnegie Fund II Private Equity II Sub-Fund, stated in these financial statements, are due to the issuing of new units in connection with drawdowns and forced redemptions in connection with capital distribution to the unitholders.

(a) The value of any cash at hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, dividends and interests declared or due but not yet collected will be deemed to be the full value thereof, unless it is unlikely that such values are received in full, in which case the value thereof will be determined by deducting such amount the Directors of the Management Company consider appropriate to reflect the true value thereof. (b) Securities listed on a stock exchange or traded on any other regulated market will be valued at the last available price on such stock exchange or market. If a security is listed on several stock exchanges or markets, the last available price on the stock exchange or market, which constitutes the main market for such securities, will be determining. (c) Securities not listed on any stock exchange or traded on any regulated market will be valued at their last available market price. 20

21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at 31 December SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.1 Valuation of investments (continued) f) Financial futures contracts (on securities, interest rates and indices) are valued at the exchange quoted settlement price. While the contracts are open, unrealised gains and losses are recorded on "mark-tomarket" basis at the valuation date. When a contract is closed, the Fund records a realised gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the price at which the contract was originally written. g) Options contracts (on securities, currencies, interest rates and indices) are valued on the basis of the last available trade price. h) Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued by reference to the forward rate prevailing at the valuation date. i) Contracts for which no price quotation is available or for which the price referred to in (f) and/or (g) is not representative of the fair market value, will be valued prudently, and in good faith on the basis of their reasonable foreseeable sales prices. 2.2 Realised gains and losses on investments Realised gains and losses on sales of investments have been determined on the average cost and include transactions costs. 2.3 Foreign currency translation The combined financial statements of the Fund are maintained in SEK. The combined financial statements are the sum of the Sub-Funds financial statements equivalent in SEK translated, where applicable, at the rate of exchange ruling as at 31 December The market value of the investments and other assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the base currency of each Sub-Fund have been converted at the rates of exchange ruling as at 31 December The cost of investments in currencies other than the base currency of each Sub-Fund is converted at the rates of exchange prevailing at each Net Asset Value calculation date. The realised and change in net unrealised gains and losses on foreign exchange are recognised in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Income and expenses expressed in currencies other than the reference currency are converted at exchange rates ruling at the transaction date. 2.4 Dividend and interest income Dividends are shown net of withholding tax deducted at source, and are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
