Liabilities have been measured at fair value when they have been hedged with derivatives (fair value option). An amount equaling the nominal value of a liability is repaid at the maturity date. The change in fair value does not include the change in credit risk because the liabilities have been guaranteed by the state of Finland, whose credit risk has not changed.

* The loans are to be used as investment raising the share capital of Seed Fund Vera Ltd and Veraventure Ltd. The loans will be paid back in one instalment at the end of the loan period, provided that the restricted equity and other non-distributable items, as shown in the balance sheet, remain fully covered after the repayment. In the event that the venture capital company’s financing operations show a loss, the corresponding amount will be deducted from the loan principals to be recovered. The loan granted in 2009 for raising the share capital of Seed Fund Vera Ltd was cancelled EUR 6,890 million in 2014 because of the loss shown by Seed Fund Vera Ltd for the financial year 2013.
** The loan is to be used for raising the capital adequacy of Finnvera plc and for improving the company’s capacity to meet the demand for its products, especially counter-cyclical loans and guarantees, owing to the prolonged financial crisis. The loan will be repaid in one instalment at maturity, provided that the company’s unrestricted equity and total subordinated liabilities at the time of payment exceed the loss recorded on the balance sheet adopted for the latest financial period or on a balance sheet included in more recent financial statements.

Classifications

Under IFRS rules, financial assets can be classified into four main categories: loans and receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial investments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss can be further divided into the following categories: classified as held for trading and upon initial recognition designated by the entity as at fair value through profit or loss. The Group has no financial assets to be held for trading or held until maturity.

Under IFRS rules, the Group's financial liabilities can be classified into two main categories: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the same manner as financial assets, classified as being held for trading and upon initial recognition designated by the entity as at fair value through profit or loss. The Group has no financial liabilities to be held for trading.

Fair value measurement principles

1. Debt securities
The fair value of debt securities are based on the market quote on the end date of the financial period or the value of the discounted market interest rate on the end date of the financial period.

2. Derivatives
The fair values of interest rate and currency swaps and currency futures are specified using a method based on the current value of cash flows, in which the market interest rates on the end date of the financial period and other market information serve as the accounting principle. The Group uses common valuation techniques in determining the fair value of these instruments. Fair values are equivalent to average market prices in situations where the Group would transfer or sell derivatives in the course of normal business under market conditions on the end date of the financial period. The credit risk related to derivatives is mitigated by means of collateral arrangements. Fair values are monitored on a daily basis using calculations from counterparties and those made in-house.

3. Investments in associates
The fair value of subsidiaries involved in venture capital investment is determined using a valuation technique approved by the Board of Directors that complies with the International Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines and recommendations for early stage ventures. In this technique, the determination of the investment's fair value is based on the valuation and investments made by outside investors as well as on the portfolio company valuation approved by the fund's Board of Directors. The valuation of companies is done continuously throughout the year, with valuations being updated on a biannually basis, for Group reporting in a separate process, where investments are examined by investment portfolio.
The basis for valuation is the value to be determined based on the previous round of investments. If necessary, this value can be adjusted in accordance with change factors in the portfolio company its performance and its operating environment. In accordance with State aid regulations, all investment rounds include private investors, with whom investments are made under mutually applicable conditions and at a valuation approved by private investors. In determining the value of a holding, attention is also given to the impact that any options and rights of exchange may have on the holding value If fair value cannot be determined reliably, venture capital investments shall be measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Initial investments less than a year old are measured at their book value. When fair values decrease, valuation can be based on an estimate made by the administrative company. Fund investments are also made in accordance with IPEV Guidelines.
The valuation of fund portfolio companies is done by private fund administration companies, which report their valuations to the funds' boards of directors and investors.

4. Shares and participations
Shares and reserve shares listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchange that are classified as available-for-sale shares and participations are measured at the exchange rate on the date of the financial statements. Unlisted shares classified as available-for-sale shares and participations are measured using the effective interest method. Because their measurement using fair value measurement models has not been possible, nor could the fair value of investments otherwise be reliably determined. The most significant item of this kind comprehends the shares for the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation Ltd. (EUR 13.67 million).

5. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
The fair value of liabilities are calculated using a method based on the current value of cash flows. In this method, market interest rates on the end date of the financial period and other accounting information serve as the accounting principle. The company's own credit risk is also taken into consideration in the measurement of liabilities.

Reserves:

Share premium

The share premium reserve has been formed before the new regulations of the Companies' Act came into force on 1 September 2006. The reserve includes the difference of EUR 42.9 million between the acquisition cost and the nominal value of KERA's shares and EUR 0.1 million that was generated in the transfer of assets of Takuukeskus and the acquisition of Fide Oy's shares as well as EUR 8.1 million generated by the raise of share capital of Finnvera as the shares of Finnish Export Credit Ltd were acquired.

Reserve for domestic operations and fund for export credit guarantee and special guarantee operations

In 2006 the laws regulating the operations of Finnvera Plc were amended so that separate funds to cover future losses from domestic operations and from export credit guarantee and special guarantee operations were established in equity. Losses from export credit guarantee and special guarantee operations will be covered by resources from the State Guarantee Fund only when the export credit guarantee and special guarantee fund is insufficient. The retained earnings from the domestic operations were transferred to the fund for domestic operations and the retained earnings from the export credit guarantee and special guarantee operations were transferred to the fund for export credit guarantee and special guarantee operations.

Reserve for venture capital investments

In 2011, a fund for venture capital investments was established in the unrestricted equity on the balance sheet. The purpose is to monitor the assets allocated for venture capital investments in accordance with ERDF operational programmes. The Ministry of Employment and the Economy has allocated to Finnvera the sum of EUR 17.5 million, to be used for venture capital investments in accordance with ERDF operational programmes during the programme period 2007–2013. These assets have been recorded in the above fund.

Fair value reserve

The reserve includes the fair value change of available-for-sale financial assets. The items recognized in the fair value reserve are taken to the income statement when an available-for-sale financial asset is disposed of or an impairment loss on such an asset is recognised.
The Group’s objectives and principles for capital management are presented in the Risk Management section.
