Development in activities and finances
Profit/loss for the year showed a profit of DKK 4,505 thousand, primarily reflecting the development in the
portfolio companies and the market for unlisted companies in general. The performance and valuation of the
Fund’s portfolio companies have to various degrees been affected by the strong fundamental economic situation
in Denmark but negatively affected by the soft consumer spending in the Nordics.
Uncertainty relating to recognition and measurement
The objective of the Fund is to contribute capital to competitive enterprises. The most significant risk factor is
thus changes to the values of the investments made.
As described under accounting polcies, investments in portfolio companies are measured at fair value.
As the portfolio companies are medium-sized unlisted companies, determining fair value is naturally associated
with uncertainty. It is Management’s assessment that the fair value measurement at 31.12.2024 is well founded
and based on reasonable and realistic assumptions.
Unusual circumstances affecting recognition and measurement
Except for the fair value changes on investments, the annual report is not influenced by unusual circumstances.

Notes to the financial statements
Accounting policies1
Reporting class
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU
and additional disclosure requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act governing reporting class B
enterprises with addition of a few provisions for reporting class C.
The expected lifetime of the Limited Partnership is 10 years from the date of commence as set out in the Limited
Partnership Agreement. The Limited Partnership qualifies as an alternative investment fund in compliance with
the AIFMD.
The financial period runs from 1 January to 31 December each year. The accounting policies applied to these
financial statements are consistent with those applied last year.
The financial statements are presented in , which is the functional currency of the Fund.
The Fund is determined to be an investment entity in accordance with IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial
Statements, and has therefore accounted for subsidiaries as investments designated at fair value through profit
or loss where all criteria acording to IFRS 10 are met.
DKK
The financial statements are presented on the basis of going concern.
The Fund's has not entered into any leasing agreements subject to IFRS 16, Leases.
The financial statements are presented on the basis of historical cost, except for the investments and receivables
from investments, which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration
given in exchange for assets.
All amounts in the financial statements are presented in whole thousands. Every figure is rounded off
separately and, for that reason, minor differences between the stated totals and the sum of underlying figures
may occur.
Judgements made by Management in the application of the IFRS Accounting Standards that have had significant
effects on the financial statements are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial
statements
DKK
Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 18
Defining materiality
If a line item is not individually material, it is aggregated with other items and notes of a similar nature in the
financial statements or in the notes. There are substantial disclosure requirements throughout the IFRS
Accounting Standards. Disclosures required by the IFRS Accounting Standards are provided unless the
information is considered immaterial to the economic decision making of the users of these financial statements
or not applicable.
The most significant accounting policies are set out below.
Report on the exemption of preparation of consolidated financial statements
has omitted to prepare consolidated financial statements under the provisions of IFRS 10,
Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Limited Partnership qualifies as an investment entity. The definition of
an investment entity is an entity that:
Capidea Kapital III K/S
Obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment
management services;
Commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital
appreciation, investment income or both; and
Measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all its investments on a fair value basis.
In view of the circumstances described below, the General Partner believes that the Fund satisfies the typical
criteria of an investment entity that:
The Fund has more than one investment.
The Fund has more than one investor and its investors are not related parties. Please refer to the description
in note to the financial statements.13
The Fund’s investments take the form of equity instrument or similar investments (portfolio companies).
As a result, the General Partner has applied the exemption rule in IFRS 10 not to prepare consolidated
financial statements where the controlled subsidiaries are consolidated, and instead the controlled subsidiaries
are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss.
Standards and Interpretations not yet in force
All of the new and amended Standards and Interpretations which are relevant to the Fund, and which came into
force with effect for financial years beginning have been applied when preparing the financial
statements.
These Standards have not had an impact on the Fund’s Annual Accounts.
01.01.2024
present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit and loss
provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial
statements

Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 19
IFRS 18 amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier
application permitted. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively.
It is expected that the application of these amendments may have an impact on the Fund's financial statements
in future periods.
Significant accounting judgment and estimates
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, the General Partner made judgements and estimates
which affect the application of the Fund’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. The most significant accounting judgements and estimates are evident from note 2 to the
financial statements.
Recognition and measurement
Assets are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable as a result of a prior event that future economic
benefits will flow to the Fund, and the value of the asset can be measured reliably. Assets are derecognised in the
balance sheet when it is no longer probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Fund.
Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the Fund has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of
an event prior to or on the balance sheet date, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of
the Fund, and the value of the liability can be measured reliably. Liabilities are derecognised in the balance sheet
when it is no longer probable that economic benefits will have to be given up to settle the liability.
Income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when earned, whereas costs are recognised by
the amounts attributable to this financial period.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency reflects the currency in which the Limited Partners have committed themselves to the
Fund as well as the currency in which the Fund pays the Fund Manager for carrying out investment related
services. Investments and loans are carried out in different currencies and hence considered less relevant in
terms of influencing the choice of functional currency. The financial statements of the Fund are presented in the
currency unit , which is the Fund’s functional and presentation currency.
On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated applying the exchange rate at the transaction
date. Receivables, payables and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that have not been
settled at the balance sheet date are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange
differences that arise between the rate at the transaction date and the rate in effect at the payment date or the
rate at the balance sheet date are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as financial income or
financial expenses.
DKK
Statement of comprehensive income
Revenue recognition
Income from investments in portfolio enterprises comprises gains/losses from divestments, fair value changes
and received dividends and other similar types of returns from the investments.
Operating income
Income from investments in portfolio enterprises comprises gains/losses from divestments, fair value changes
and received dividends and other similar types of returns from the investments.
Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 20
Gains/losses from divestment of investments in portfolio enterprises are stated as the difference between the
selling price or disposal consideration and the carrying amount of the portfolio enterprises at the time of sale or
disposal, respectively.
Dividends from investments in portfolio enterprises are recognised as income when final entitlement to the
dividends is obtained, which is usually at the time of the approval of the declaring dividends by the portfolio
enterprise.
Administrative expenses and other operating expenses
All expenses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on an accrual basis.
Administrative expenses and other operating expenses comprise expenses incurred during the reporting period
not directly related to the Fund’s investment activities. The Fund pays the Fund Manager an annual fee for
carrying out investment related activities and administration. The fee is calculated in accordance with the criteria
set out in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
Administrative expenses and other operating expenses which can be directly allocated to specific investments are
recognised in the underlying project companies when the investment structure is formally in place.
Administrative expenses and other operating expenses that do not relate to the Fund’s investment activities or is
investment specific are recognised as expense by the Fund. Such costs comprise among others financial, legal
and tax advisory, audit, bookkeeping, travel costs and General Partner fee.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses comprise interest income and various expenses, and net exchange rate
adjustments on transactions in foreign currencies.
Interest income and interest expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.
Taxation
Under current Danish law governing the Fund, it is not independently taxable because the Fund’s profit/loss for
the year is included in the Limited Partners’ taxable income.
The annual report does not include current or deferred tax due to the corporate form of the Fund.
Balance sheet
Investments in and loans to portfolio companies
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value through profit or loss when the Fund becomes party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument. Recognition takes place on the trade date when the Fund
purchases or sells an investment under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the time
frame established by the market.
On initial recognition, investments and receivables from investments are measured at fair value and
subsequently measured at fair value with recognition of fair value adjustments through profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
investments have expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 21
Investments consist of equity investments and receivables from investments consist of loans. On initial
recognition, investments are measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at fair value with recognition of
fair value adjust-ments through profit or loss. Receivables from investments are measured at fair value through
profit or loss under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments.
The fair value is calculated equivalent to an estimated fair value that is determined based on market information,
IPEV Valuation Guidelines and generally accepted valuation techniques, including benchmarking, DCF or other
relevant methods, which are considered to provide the best estimate of the fair value.
For further information about the measurement of fair values, please refer to note .
Carried interest
Holders of carried interest (Partner Investment Company) receive a return on their investment that is dependent
on the yield of the underlying investments throughout the lifecycle of the Fund. The amount allocated to carried
interest is based on the principle that the investments are realized at the balance date at a price corresponding to
the estimated fair value of the assets.
Carried interest is calculated based on the overall performance net of cost and expenses of the portfolio of all
investments as maximum 20% of net cash flows exceeding the agreed 8% minimum return (the Hurdle Rate).
Carried interest is paid out with ordinary distributions based on adjusted economic rights which reflect an annual
allocation of carried interest as if such carried interest had been re-invested into the Fund.
Distributions of carried interest to the holders are subject to provision as defined in the Limited Partnership
Agreement. Carried interest will be allocated to specific commitment classes based on the carrying value of the
investments at year end. However, distributions of carried interest are not paid to the specific commitment
classes until the sale of investments are realized.
Carried interest is accounted for under income from investments in the profit and loss. If the conditions for
carried interest are fulfilled the fair value of investments are reduced by carried interest.
8
Other receivables (Current)
Other receivables relate to the Fund’s ordinary business activities.
Other receivables are measured at amortised cost, usually equaling nominal value.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash in bank deposits.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, which usually corresponds to nominal value.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement of the Fund is presented using the indirect method and shows cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities as well as the Fund’s cash at the beginning and the end of the
financial period.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated as the operating profit/loss adjusted for non-cash operating
items and working capital changes attributable to the operating activities.
Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 22
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments in connection with acquisition and divestment of
investment.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the size or composition of the contributed capital and
payment of distributions to the Limited Partners as well as the raising of loans and instalments on interest-
bearing debt, if any.
Cash comprises cash in bank deposits.
Significant accounting estimates, assumptions, and uncertainties2
Capidea Kapital III K/S invests in portfolio enterprises, which primarily includes equity investments and to a
smaller extent contribution of loans to development-oriented enterprises, and which may require continuous
contribution of capital. The investments are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. When measuring
the fair value of the unlisted investments, the General Partner assesses the development stage of the portfolio
enterprises compared to the initial plans at the time of making the initial investments, future financing
requirements, commercialisation possibilities, timing of exit and possible exit values.
The fair value of each unlisted portfolio enterprise is determined in accordance with commonly used valuation
principles based on IPEV’s Valuation Guidelines, taking into account the assessment of the development stage of
the enterprise as well as its market potential and expected cash flows in order to reflect the fair value of the
portfolio enterprise in the best way possible. Methods and assumptions for determining the fair value of in-
vestments in unlisted portfolio enterprises are described in note 12.

Consistently with the accounting policies, the Fund regularly adjusts the value of the investments to the best estimate of fair value. This means that the proportionate share
of operating profit or loss for the Companies is not recognised in profit or loss of the Fund, but rather a fair value adjustment of the investment. The General Partner
regularly and at least on a quarterly basis reviews the fair value of its portfolio enterprises in connection with its non-public reporting to its Limited Partners and in
connection with the preparation of the financial statements.
The methods applied by the Fund to measure investments are evident from note to the financial statements. 12

Financial risk management11
The General Partner is ultimately responsible for the overall risk management within the Fund but has delegated
the responsibility to the Fund Manager.
The Fund pursues an investment strategy approved by the Limited Partners and invests in small and mid-sized
Danish enterprises.
The Fund’s risk management processes include identification, measurement, monitoring, reporting and
mitigation of the identified risks to minimise the potential negative effects at fund level.
The Fund continuously manages and reduces risks by:
in-depth business, technical, financial and legal due diligence before an investment is made;
the conclusion of shareholder agreements in order to ensure the best possible protection and freedom of
action of the Fund;
continuous close monitoring of portfolio companies and active ownership.
Key financial risk factors and exposure regarding the financial statements for can be categorised as follows:2024

The Fund manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing
facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities. In addition, the Fund is able to draw on uncalled commitments from its investors to
meet its obligations if needed. In addition, no indication of the Limited Partners' inability to contribute the
remaining fund commitment exists as well as future income from in-vestments is expected to settle the
outstanding amount.
Credit risks
In some cases, the Fund can provide loans to its portfolio enterprises, but has not. These loans are considered
part of the investments and are, therefore, not considered to represent a separate credit risk, but are rather con-
sidered being part of the total investment risk and risk relating to determining a fair value of the investments.
In some cases, the Fund has receivables from the sale of investments. Typically, the payment is secured by the
buyer depositing the receivable on escrow accounts in accepted credit institutions, and, therefore, the credit risk
is considered limited. At 31 December 2024, the Fund has not been exposed to any credit risks.
Interest rate risk
The risk related to the interest rate implies that the portfolio enterprises work with loan capital and are thus af-
fected by the interest rate level. An increase in interest rate level constitutes a potential risk for the fair value of
the investments.
Financial instruments measured at fair value12
The fair values of the individual investments are calculated on the basis of methods that best reflect
individual investment risks, life cycle, and industry conditions. Generally applicable, the fair value is calculated
in accordance with IPEV valuation guidelines and accepted valuation methods, including multiple
analysis/benchmarking or other relevant methods
The fair value of the investments is measured on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if significant changes
occur.
The Fund Manager has implemented procedures and methodology to ensure that the valuation is carried out
consistently over time and across investments.
Methods applied in and assumptions underlying the determination of fair values of investments
The fair value of each investment and receivables from investments has been estimated by applying methods
that best reflect the risks and the stage of each investment, e.g., assumptions related to power prices, inflation
rates, technical availability and discount rate.
Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 29
In general, the fair value is determined in accordance with IPEV Valuation Guidelines and generally accepted
valuation techniques, including DCF models, benchmarking or other relevant methods. The valuation approach
incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction, such as
cash flows, discount rates and yield curves assumptions.
The valuation of equity investments and receivables from investments is based on the same methods, as equity
investments and receivables from investments are exposed to the same risks, regardless of the funding method.
Peer group multiple
The peer-group multiple method uses comparable companies where market value and earnings are known. On
this basis, a market level for primarily e.g. EV/EBITDA is calculated for the comparable companies.
The calculated EV /EBITDA is then capitalised on the basis of a normalised EBITDA for the individual portfolio
companies which, by adjustment for net interest-bearing debt, yield the value of the investments.
In using the method, the Fund assesses which multiples can be used and assesses the determination of normal
earnings in the portfolio companies, including assessing the sensitivity of the values when changing the model's
variables.
Transaction multiple
At the transaction date, a transaction multiple is calculated based on the transaction value and the earnings at
the transaction date (EBITDA). The multiple is only changed when there are significant changes in the sur-
roundings of the companies, for example, industry conditions and micro- and macro-economic conditions, which
are expected to be of a long-term nature. The portfolio company's expected earnings are adjusted periodically on
the basis of underlying budgets, and an expected increase in future earnings may increase the valuation of the
portfolio companies.
In certain cases, when applying a transaction multiple analysis, comparable business transactions are also
assessed to identify which multiples would be relevant at a hypothetical sale of the Fund's portfolio companies at
the end of the accounting period.
Description of the valuation process
The valuation process is carried out in connection with the preparation of internal reporting to investors and in
connection with the preparation of the Fund's annual report. The valuation assesses the portfolio investments at
the end of the accounting period and must reflect the fair value of each portfolio company, based on reasonable
valuation methods and assumptions.
Individual investments are assessed separately at the end of the accounting period and are in most cases
assessed on the basis of the market situation as follows: (i) determination of the Enterprise Value (EV) estimated
on the basis of a hypothetical sale of the investment at the time of the balancesheet date, based on one or more
of the valuation methods mentioned above, and (ii) calculation of the value of the equity investment by adjusting
EV for net debt and NWC adjustments as well as any equity related waterfall structures.
Fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet
Below, financial instruments measured at fair value are classified using the fair value hierarchy:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1)
Capidea Kapital III K/S | Notes to the financial statements 30
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or other valuation methods under which all
material inputs are based on observable market data (Level 2)
Valuation techniques under which any material inputs are not based on observable market data (Level 3)
All investments are classified as Level 3 investments and there have not been any transfers between the levels
during the financial year.
Material unobservable inputs for Level 3
Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are based on valuation techniques that include
material unobservable input. Material unobservable inputs mean in this context that the valuation is dependent
on a return requirement that contains a number of components that cannot be observed on trading markets, for
example project-specific risks and illiquidity prices.

Material unobservable inputs
Fair value of the assets is determined based on both forward-looking information, current market and
geopolitical conditions, actuals e.g., contributions and distributions etc. as well as status on the specific assets.
Valuations are conducted by the Management of the Fund's Manager and approved quarterly at the valuation
meeting as part of the quarterly report.
A number of material unobservable input is applied in the valuation and is ongoingly assessed on a on a Fund
specific level. An elaboration of the assessed material unobservable inputs is outlined below.
Material unobservable assumptions used in the valuation of unlisted investments in portfolio companies consist
of earnings multiple and either LTM or NTM Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
(EBITDA) of the portfolio companies. The EV/EBITDA multiple is derived from the entry multiple adjusted for
development in peer group multiples and idiosyncratic factors. As the multiples are multiplied on the EBITDA of a
given investment, the multiple used has a significant effect on the valuation. Management believes that the
multiples applied are on a par with the market for comparable Danish businesses. In addition, allowance is made
for net interest-bearing debt of the portfolio companies when making the valuation.

Sensitivity analysis
The fair value of the Fund’s investments is affected by developments in the applied EV/EBITDA multiples. A
decline or increase in the material unobservable inputs stated above and changes in macroeconomic conditions
might have a direct effect on the valuation of the investments. Due to the nature of the investments the effects
are subject to some uncertainty, as other factors can in some scenarios have a reverse effect. It is the assessment
that any reverse effect will be immaterial. The approximately impact on Fund NAV is calculated by altering one
input at a time and rerun the model.
