1 AMBLIN FINANCIAL CONSULTATIONS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

2 For companies that only consolidate on a quarterly basis, it is more cost-effective to hire a consultant than to pay a full-time employee.

3 To hire consultants is both time and cost-effective in that the customer only pays for the time it takes to do the work.

5 FIVE REASONS TO CHOOSE AMBLIN Below are five reasons why you should choose Amblin as your service provider. COMPETENCE Accounting rules are increasingly more complicated and are constantly being updated. Keeping up to date is costly and time consuming. By engaging Amblin, the customer is assured to be up to date in an efficient way at a reasonable price. We put a great emphasis on educating our staff through further training and also on implementing quality checks in our work. EXPERIENCE Practice makes perfect. The more experience, the better the result. Since we have delivered financial services for more than 10 years time, we have gained a lot of experience and are therefore able to relate to previous assignments when we start working with a new client. This gives Amblin both width and quality. CONTINUITY A good relationship takes time to build. To achieve a working long-term relationship, we believe in the importance of personal contact. Therefore, we try as much as possible to ensure that the same employees work with the same customers. In this way, both we and the customer enjoy continuity in working together. RELIEF During certain periods of the year, the workload is heavy in a company s financial department. Time is precious and the pressure is great. By hiring a consultant, the workload of the financial staff is lifted. Our experience has taught us that, as a preventive measure, it is essential to avoid overloading the staff. UNIFORMITY At Amblin, we put a great deal of emphasis on uniformity. This means that our staff is trained to work in the same manner and to use the same methodology. The advantage of uniformity is that it makes it easier to comprehend what co-workers have worked on. It also gives assurance to the customers, when they know that the work is carried out in the same manner regardless of who does it.

6 BUSINESS CASES Amblin mostly works with public companies and private equity funds in the real estate business, but we also work for private companies and companies in other business sectors. Below are some typical assignments that we have carried out. FINANCIAL REPORTS & FINANCIAL MANUAL A recently listed property company needs assistance with their group accounting, preparing a financial manual and financial reporting in general. Amblin is contacted by the company s CFO who needs assistance with implementing a group accounting software and to establish a routine to produce interim reports. The client also needs to produce a financial manual, and to strengthen their workforce in the financial department during the year-end closing. Amblin assembles a team of three consultants to meet all of their demands. After the assignment is completed, the client chose to keep consulting Amblin when preparing interim and annual reports. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT A foreign real estate fund needs help with financial management for a recently acquired property portfolio. Amblin is contacted by the Swedish management team who was looking for financial management. The assignment includes everything from tenant invoicing and book-keeping to investor reporting. Since Amblin has extensive experience from working with real estate funds, we were able to assemble a team with the required qualities and experience. The cooperation works so well that the fund later assigns two additional property portfolios to Amblin. OUTSOURCING A government property company has a vacancy on their financial department due to an employee going on a one-year maternity leave. The CFO of the company contacts Amblin looking for a competent person with experience from the real estate business. Since Amblin have consultants with anywhere from one to over twenty-five years of experience, we have no problem in finding and offering a consultant with the right level of skills and experience to meet the customer s need. In order to maximize cost-efficiency, the customer chooses to hire our consultant full-time for the busy periods of annual and interim reporting, and half-time during other periods. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS & ANNUAL REPORTS A listed property company needs assistance with a real estate transaction and the preparation of annual reports for the company s subsidiaries. The company has sold a large property portfolio and needs assistance with preparing balance sheets for a number of companies at the day of leaving possession. Amblin is engaged to deliver complete financial statements for the divested companies within 60 days. The same company has identified a need to improve the process surrounding the preparation of annual reports. There are too many errors and all the corrections results in the work taking too long. Amblin is hired to take care of the entire process, from the year-end closing to when the annual reports are signed and filed at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

7 Acquisitions and disposals of properties generate a temporary need for a person in charge of the process of taking or leaving possession of the asset. Instead of employing a person, a consultant might be the solution.
