Park Street Nordicom is a fully integrated European real estate investment and asset management company with offices in Copenhagen and London. It owns and manages a large portfolio of commercial properties located across Denmark.
Park Street Nordicom result analysis primarily uses the term EBVAT (Earnings before value adjustments and tax) to measure the Group's operating results.
In 2019, Park Street Nordicom achieved EBVAT of DKK 83.2 million (2018: DKK 84.0 million), which is slightly below management expectations for the period due to not completing redevelopment and sale of assets expectations for the year. On another hand, net operating income results are in line with management expectations have been fulfilled.
The EBVAT achieved is DKK 0.8 million lower than the one in 2018. The slight reduction is primarily due to the increase in overhead costs (DKK 9.0 million), driven by higher investment of resources for future value enhancements which has been partially compensated by an increase of the gross profit (DKK 3.8 million) mainly driven by the revenue generated from an asset acquired in 2019 and a reduction of the financial expenses (DKK -4.3 million).
The evolution of the EBVAT is influenced by the following factors:
Net Profit of the period has increased from DKK 108.3 million in 2018 to DKK 115.1 Million in 2019 due to the following effects:
The Group's equity as at 31st December 2019 was DKK 931.1 million, compared to DKK 810.6 million as at 31 December 2018. The improvement in the Group's equity is due to the profit for the period and revaluation of the domicile with a net increase of DKK 5.4 million.
The operation of the Group's properties in 2019 was generally as expected with the vacancy rate (calculated by rental value) for the Group's investment properties at 11.0% in 2019, against 9.8% for all of 2018. The material portion of this vacancy is concentrated in potential redevelopment projects in Taastrup, Odense, Kolding and within storage assets in Næstved. Plans to establish the viability of these projects and further steps will be developed over the coming year.
In 2019, Park Street Nordicom sold the following properties and plots:
▪ Residential property in Roskilde
Park Street Nordicom acquired the following properties:
In addition to the above purchase, Park Street Nordicom has made the following transactions in 2020:
Since April 25th April of 2019 when the Annual general of the Company took place the Board of Directors of Park Street Nordicom consists of Andrew La Trobe, Per Høpfner, Pradeep Pattem, Ohene Aku Kwapong, Lars-Andreas Nilsen and Anita Nassar.
The number of employees of Park Street Nordicom were 42 by the end of 2019, against 41 at the start of the year.
As stated above an additional residential unit in a existing property of the group has been acquired in January 2020 in Copenhagen, Østerbro and a residential unit has been sold in February 2020 in Ballerup.
In regards to the Covid-19 related Global Economic Disruption the Board of Directors states the following:
Management considers the implications of Covid-19 a subsequent occurred after the balance sheet date (31 December 2019), which is therefore a non-adjusting event to the Company.
In view of the extremity of potential disruptions, and the uncertainties of the duration of such disruption, Park Street Nordicom has decided to not publish any EBVAT estimations for 2020 and withdraws any previous guidance provided to the market. Management finds itself unable to disclose reliably its outlook for the future in accordance with section 12 of the Danish Financial Statements Act. It is to be noted that the company is able to deliver on its operations and requisite support to the tenants via various ways of online and on site working during this period of deep disruption, which has been highly facilitated by its previous investments in developing an on-line property management platform.

Park Street Nordicom owns and manages 59 properties with more than 260,000 SQM built up area across Denmark.
The company has a deep history of 3 decades acquiring properties with significant development potential.
Around 90% of the assets are stable, with around 90% of occupancy level.
In 2019, Park Street Nordicom took significant steps towards the following objectives of:
For the year

From this year we are incorporating Zero Vacancy ambition across our core portfolio. This will influence our daily work approach - to be dynamic about pricing, about the design and refurbishment decisions towards achieving full occupancy.
We are taking next step in the marketing strategy by enhancing visualisation content, targeted ads, direct marketing and increased use of social media. Along with those we are working close with select external brokers for proactive lettings of vacant areas.
Hire further specialists for leasing into our team, who will focus on leasing and tenant management towards better services and mutually beneficial terms. We will seek to actively use external specialists for optimal positioning of our properties.
We will seek to standardise all processes, documents and steps in leasing which creates long term administration benefits for tenants. It will lead to digitalization of all procedures within leasing, which is no doubt one of the key future trends in real estate market.
Leasing department needs to be fully supported by administration, finance and design. We find it feasible in Park Street Nordicom as all aspects of support are in house, which helps smooth communication, quick response and full support to the leasing process.

Park Street Nordicom's Net Profit is DKK 115.1 million for 2019 (2018: DKK 108.3 million), equivalent to a change of DKK 6.8 million in relation to 2018.
As mentioned above the EBVAT in 2019 is DKK 83.2 million (2018: DKK 84.0 million), which is DKK 0.8 million lower than the one achieved in 2018. The reduction is primarily driven to the increase in overhead costs (DKK 9.0 million), driven by higher investment of resources for future value enhancements which has been partially compensated by an increase of the gross profit (DKK 3.9 million) mainly driven by the revenue generated from an asset acquired in 2019 and a reduction of the financial expenses (DKK -4.3 million).
Net Profit of the period has increased from DKK 108.3 Million in 2018 to DKK 115.1 Million in 2019 due to the a higher revaluation of the investment properties amounting to DKK 62.4 Million (2018: DKK 54.7 Million). On the other hand the sale of a non-core property has generated a profit of 0.4 million DKK while in 2018 it generated DKK 3.7 million. To finalize, the effect of the Tax on profit is lower in 2019, being DKK 31.0 Million in 2019 (2018: DKK 34.1 Million).
Park Street Nordicom's balance sheet total as at 31 December 2019 was DKK 2,772.8 million, an increase of DKK 192.2 million on the balance sheet total at 31 December 2018. The increase is mainly due to the revaluation of investment and domicile properties of DKK 69.3 million and acquisition of assets of DKK 96.5 million. Non-current assets were DKK 2,679.9 million at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018: DKK 2,492.7 million). Current assets have increased from DKK 88.0 million at 31 December 2018 to DKK 93.0 million at 31 December 2019, an increase of DKK 5.0 million mainly caused by the increase of the amount in cash coming from the company operations
The Group's equity as at 31st December 2019 was DKK 931.1 million, compared to DKK 810.7 million as at 31 December 2018. The improvement in the Group's equity is due to the profit for the period and revaluation of the domicile with a net increase of DKK 5.4 million
Liabilities to credit institutions were DKK 1,633.3 million at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018: DKK 1,590.9 million), consisting of DKK 1,478.7 million (91%) for non-current liabilities and DKK 154.7 million (9%) for current liabilities. In 2019, financial liabilities were increased by DKK 42.5 million primarily driving of obtaining mortgage financing in a new asset acquired in 2019. This effect has been partially compensated by repayments to credit institutions.
Cash flows from operating activities for 2019 were DKK 92.9 Million (2018: DKK 77.2 million), equivalent to an increase of DKK 15.7 million in relation to the same period last year. The increase is due primarily to a decrease of financial expenses paid and improvement in the working capital.
Cash flows from investing activities for 2019 were DKK -125.5 million (2018: DKK 51.8 million). Cash flows from investing activities were negatively affected by purchases of property, plant and equipment (DKK -103.9 million) and improvements made to investment properties (DKK -19.3 million). In 2018 cash flow from investing activities was positively affected by a cash injection in the share capital of DKK 50.0 million. Effect coming from the sale of investment properties has been DKK 1.9 million in 2019 while in 2018 the cash flow obtained from this activity was DKK 12.0 million.
Cash flows from financing activities for 2019 were DKK 39.9 million (2018: DKK -94.7 million) due to obtaining a loan in a newly acquired asset partially compensated with instalment payments of existing loans in the company.
The Group's liquid assets amounted to DKK 61.6 million at 31 December 2019 against DKK 54.3 million at 31 December 2018.
In connection with the Annual report, management makes a number of estimates and assessments regarding the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, including:
Because of assumptions, assessments and estimates, uncertainty relates to the mentioned conditions and items. It may be necessary to change previously made estimates, etc. due to changes in the circumstances underlying the estimate, changed strategy or due to additional information, further experience or subsequent events. Reference is made to note 1 of the consolidated financial statements and note 1 in the parent company's financial statements for further discussion of the assumptions, assessments, estimates and associated uncertainties.
For the parent company Park Street Nordicom A / S, profit before tax amounts to DKK 146.0 million in 2019 (2018: DKK 142.4 million).
The parent company's profit and loss before tax is affected by a profit of DKK 27.0 million (2018: DKK -5.2) from subsidiaries.
Parent company equity per 31 December 2019 amounts to DKK 931.1 Million (31 December 2018: DKK 810.7 million).
The financial management of the Group is geared towards optimising the term structure of liabilities in line with the Group's operations and minimizing the Group's financial risk exposure. It is part of the Group's policy not to conduct speculative transactions by active use of financial instruments, except to manage the financial risks inherent to the Group's core activities.
The Group is exposed to various financial risks due to its activities, including liquidity risk, market risks (primarily interest rate risk) and credit risk.
Park Street Nordicom regularly reviews the Group's risk profile in the areas of greatest risk, as per above description on page 2 and on the Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 and 28.
Park Street Nordicom financial risks are described in the consolidated financial statements, Note 28 and includes a description of the following components:
Refer to the information in Note 28.
Park Street Nordicom is subject to normal commercial and societal risks applicable to players in the Danish real estate market.
Park Street Nordicom's significant business risks can be divided into the following categories:
Park Street Nordicom values investment properties at fair value (market value) and includes valuation adjustments in net profit. Park Street Nordicom's portfolio of properties constitute a large share of the Group's balance sheet, which means that sensitivity to falling prices in the property market is relatively large.
Property value is influenced by several factors, including a particular value sensitivity to fluctuations in the following parameters:
Estimated changes in the properties' fair value changes of the parameters above are disclosed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Some of the properties in Park Street Nordicom's portfolio have leases which were either entered into or renegotiated during the tough markets of 2009 to 2014. The Group has an opportunity to review these leases to migrate the lease levels closer to market rents. Improving demand for space and increasing market rents could also give an opportunity to make capital investments on structurally vacant areas of the portfolio to create further lettable areas.
Renegotiating with existing tenants could create the risk of increased vacancy, which in turn will create a need for further capital investment requirements for upgarading the vacant space.
Park Street Nordicom is dependent on the ability to maintain or create a natural user requirement for the properties.
In the case of a tenant's relocation of a lease, there is a risk that the vacant lease cannot be re-leased within the expected time horizon or, if necessary, can only be leased at lower rent level than expected. In addition, vacancy rates are affected by the general economic situation in the area where the individual property is situated.
The basis for obtaining rental income is, of course, that Park Street Nordicom can offer leases that meet the expectations and requirements of the tenants, including a satisfactory maintenance condition for the property.
Lack of maintenance of properties therefore creates a risk to Park Street Nordicom. Lack of maintenance can be due to many conditions, such as structural deficiencies, unforeseen wreckage, vandalism, extreme weather conditions, etc. The company prepares long term maintenance budgets and carries out the maintenance work necessary to maintain a satisfactory maintenance condition on the properties.
Park Street Nordicom sells properties that are suitable to sell. The selling price is naturally linked to uncertainty as it depends on the actual negotiation situation at the time of sale and is also influenced by a number of other factors, including the rental income of the property, the general interest rate level and market conditions at the time of sale.
When rebuilding the existing properties of the Group, or in the case of new construction, there is a risk of malfunctioning. Park Street Nordicom ensures against this through contracts with the Group's suppliers (contractors, etc.) who will be required to correct any deficiencies. In cases where suppliers have gone bankrupt or for some reason cannot fill their obligations, Park Street Nordicom may, however, have to rectify defects at your own expense, provided there is no guarantee or other security from the suppliers.
Other risks can be divided into the following categories:
Park Street Nordicom subscribes to statutory insurance and insurance policies that are deemed to be relevant and customary. The Group regularly conducts an insurance review with the assistance of an insurance specialist. Based on the latest report on company's insurance coverage, management believes that Park Street Nordicom has sufficient insurance coverage.
Tax risks
Changes in tax legislation may affect Park Street Nordicom's fiscal situation.
Park Street Nordicom regularly enters into a number of agreements, including agreements concerning the operation of properties. The agreements involve opportunities and risks, which are assessed and hedged in connection with the conclusion of the agreements.
Park Street Nordicom uses IT to a considerable extent and are thus exposed to operational disruption of the established IT safety. This can cause operating and financial losses. Park Street Nordicom constantly works to ensure a high level of IT security, which is currently estimated to be the case.
Please, refer to the section Main Activity on page 2.
While Park Street Nordicom generally and based upon our business model has not identified nor experienced any material risks in relation to CSR, the Company has decided to author and implement policies with respect to environment, climate change, human rights, social and employee conditions and anti-corruption due to our social responsibility in each of the business activities that are performed. CSR is reflected in the way we manage and refurbish our properties, in our relationship with tenants, employees, business partners and any stakeholder that the Group operates with.
Policies, activities and results
Park Street Nordicom has chosen on the company's website to publish the statutory statement of business management, according to section § 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act (Årsregnskabslovens § 107b.).
The full statutory report available on our websitehttp://www.psnas.com/index.php/corporate-governance-statement/
Park Street Nordicom board composed at the time of publication of the annual report for 2019 by five men and one woman. In accordance with the Danish Commerce and Industry Agency's (Erhvervsstyrelsens) "Guidelines on targets and Policies for Gender Composition of Management and Reporting on this issue" issued in March 2016, Nordicom has a sub-representation of the board (top Management body).
Park Street Nordicom has set a target for the underrepresented gender in the Board of Directors (top Management body). Park Street Nordicom has chosen that the under-represented sex must be represented by 40% of the board by the end of 2022. Consequently the goal of 40% women in the Board of Directors has not been met yet as no candidates of the underrepresented gender were up for election in the previous year.
Since the number of employees in the Group is less than 50, Park Street Nordicom is not required to develop policies to increase the proportion of under-represented gender in the Group's other management levels, however the percentage of female employees represents 57% of the employees in the Group by the end of 2019. Group's overall policy is to employ or promote the best suitable candidates no matter of gender.
Park Street Nordicom Board of Directors and the Audit Committee have the overall responsibility for risk management and internal controls in relation to the presentation of the Group financial statements. Group's internal control and risk management systems relating to the accounting process are designed to minimise the risk of irregularities and significant errors in the published financial statements.
The Board of Directors / Audit Committee regularly assess material risks and internal controls in order to ensure that the control environment of Park Street Nordicom provides a good risk management and effective internal control.
At least once a year, as part of risk assessment, the Board of Directors / Audit Committee and the Executive Board undertake a general identification and assessment of risks in connection with the financial reporting, including the risk of fraud, and consider the measures to be implemented in order to reduce or eliminate such risks.
The Board of Directors is overall responsible for the Group having information and reporting systems in place to ensure that its financial reporting is in conformity with rules and regulations. For this purpose, the Company has set out detailed requirements in policies, manuals and procedures.
The internal control and risk management systems are monitored at different levels within the Group. Any weaknesses, control failures and violations of the applicable policies, manuals and procedures or other material deviations are communicated upwards in the organization in accordance with relevant policies and instructions. Any weaknesses, omissions and violations are reported to the Executive Board.
The auditors elected by the Annual General Meeting account for any material weaknesses in the internal control systems related to financial reporting in the Auditor's Long-form Report to the Board of Directors. Minor irregularities are reported in Management Letters to the Executive Board.

To the shareholders of Park Street Nordicom A/S
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2019 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2019 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor's Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Park Street Nordicom A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2019 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of equity, statement of cash flows and notes for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements".
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided.
We were first appointed auditors of Park Street Nordicom A/S on 19 April 2019 for the financial year 2019.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Valuation of Investment Properties and Domiciles | |
| The Group owns a portfolio of investment proper | We assessed the method used by management to meas |
| ties that are valued at fair value and 2 domiciles | ure the fair value of investment properties and domiciles, |

| Refer to note 1.2, 8, 15 and 16. | |
Management is responsible for Management's Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, we considered whether Management's Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management's Review.
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Note 1 - Accounting policies, accounting estimates and risks, etc.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. Refer to note 31 for a full description of the accounting policies used.
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 as stated on note 33.
A property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group, is classified as investment property. An investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. After initial recognition, an investment property is carried at fair value.
Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. The fair value of an investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and other assumptions market participants would make when pricing the property under current market conditions. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Changes in fair values are recognised in the income statement. Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed. Where the Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm's length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior to the sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded in the income statement within net gain from fair value adjustment on investment property.
The principles and methods for determining the estimated fair value of the properties in this category is based on the capitalisation method. The determination of fair values in accordance to the capitalisation method is generally the most accepted and widely used model for valuating property. The method is based on a stabilised net rent, capitalised at a rate of return assuming a stabilised property in a stable market, which is fully let at an annual market rent at, or close to, market level. For non-stabilised properties, special conditions such as vacancy and refurbishment costs are taken into consideration.
The model used contains the following main elements:
1 + Annual Rental Income (fully rented)
| 2 | - Non-recoverable operating costs |
|---|---|
| 3 | = Net Operating Income (NOI) |
| 4 | - Cap rate (net initial yield) |
| 5 | = Market value before regulations and deposits |
| 6 | - Vacancy costs |
| 7 | - Refurbishment cost |
| 8 | - Rental loss (discounts, etc.) |
| 9 | + Net Present Value (NPV) of Overrented elements |
| 10 | - Net Present Value (NPV) of Underrrented elements |
| 11 | + Cash deposits |
| 12 | + Other |
Ad. 1) The annual rental income represents the budget rent. For non-vacant units, the budget rent equals the actual rental income. If the actual rental income differs significantly, the market rent is used. For vacant areas, the market rent is used.
Ad. 2) All operating expenses not recoverable from the tenants are deducted. This includes taxes, insurance, cleaning, utility costs, service subscriptions, administration, external maintenance etc.
Ad. 4) The yield requirement is determined individually for each property based on the yield requirement for comparable properties in the same geographical area (where this is possible) and the property's risk profile.
Ad. 6) Vacancy costs reflect the estimated loss of rental income until a re-letting is assumed. There is vacancy until the stablised level is reached. When the stabilised level is reached all properties are assumed fully let.
Ad. 7) For vacant units, it is assumed that a refurbishment is required before a re-letting can take place. At some properties, these are not included as the leases already are ready for reletting.
Ad. 8) Current discounts are deducted from the market value.
Ad. 9) If an overrented lease is regulated to market rent, it is implemented over a 4-year period according to section 13 in the Danish Commercial Rent. As a result, the lease will generate an overrenting element in this period.
Ad. 10) If an underrented lease is regulated to market rent, it is implemented over a 4-year period according to section 13 in the Danish Commercial Rent. As a result, the lease will generate an underrenting element in this period.
The calculation of the properties' fair value is sensitive to changes in all the above inputs to the valuation model. The most significant non-observable inputs used in calculating the current value of the completed investment properties are as follows:
.
A general increase in market rent per sqm and decrease of the vacancy in the areas in which Park Street Nordicom's properties are located, will likely decrease the yield requirements.
Market rent per sqm per year represents an important input for calculating the fair value of the property. If it is estimated that the current rent is lower or higher than the rent that can be obtained by re-hire, a correction of the current rent will be made to the expected rent on re-hire. This input is based on an estimate. Similarly, input on market rent for empty areas is based on an estimate. The long-term average market rent (ie at terminal level) is the following divided by property types:
| Avg. gross rent per sqm p.a. (DKK) | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | 814 | 756 |
| Office | 815 | 821 |
| Residential | 1,132 | 1,032 |
| Storage | 299 | 296 |
| Others | 488 | 432 |
| Total | 774 | 752 |
The estimated fair value is sensitive to changes in the estimated budget rent. The sensitivity of changes in the average budget rent per sqm are illustrated in the table below, which shows the effect on the fair value of the properties if only the average budget rent per change is changed sqm per year.
| Change in market rent per sqm per year (DKK) |
Change in market value (Million DKK) |
|
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| 200 | 697 | 718 |
| 100 | 348 | 359 |
| 50 | 174 | 178 |
| -50 | -171 | -174 |
| -100 | -339 | -345 |
| -200 | -673 | -683 |
The table shows that an increase in the market price of, for example 50 DKK per sqm per year will increase the completed investment properties' fair value by DKK 174 million (31 December 2018: DKK 178 million).
No structural vacancy has been considered in the property valuation; as it has been estimated that the current vacancy will be let within 12 to 18 months. An increase in the current vacancy has been estimated and represents the following (broken down by property types and calculated as estimated vacancy divided by the market rent in the terminal):
| Change in Vacancy (%-point) |
Change in market value (Million DKK) |
|
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| 10% | -2 | -2 |
| 5% | -1 | -1 |
| -2% | 1 | 1 |
| -5% | 2 | 2 |
The table shows that an increase in the vacancy by 5 percentage points will reduce the finished investment property with the fair value of DKK -1 Million (31 December 2018: DKK -1 million).
The fixed return requirement is an essential input in estimating fair values. The table below shows the ranges for the return requirement divided by property type and the weighted return requirement in- for each property type.
| 2019 | 2018 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage p.a. | Interval | Weighted Avg | Interval | Weighted Avg |
| Retail | 5.25 – 8.75 | 7.21 | 5.50 – 8.75 | 7.36 |
| Office | 4.50 – 8.50 | 6.04 | 5.00 – 8.50 | 6.92 |
| Storage | 9.00 – 9.50 | 9.23 | 9.50 – 12.50 | 11.24 |
| Residential | 4.00 – 5.25 | 4.12 | 4.25 – 5.75 | 4.41 |
| Others | 6.25 – 6.75 | 6.37 | 5.50 – 9.50 | 7.00 |
| Total | 4.00 – 9.50 | 6.38 | 4.25 – 12.50 | 6.88 |
The table shows that the return requirements for completed investment properties at December 31, 2019 is in the range 4.00% - 9.50% per annum. The corresponding interval at December 31, 2018 amounted to 4.25% - 12.50% per annum.
The weighted yield requirement in the table are calculated as each property yield requirements weighted by the property's fair value in relation to property type's / portfolio's fair value and amounts at December 31, 2019 6.38% per annum for the overall portfolio of finished investment properties at December 31, 2018, the corresponding weighted return requirements for the entire portfolio 6.88% per annum.
The yield requirements used have a significant impact on the fair value of the property. The sensitivity of changes in the return requirement is illustrated in the table below which shows the effect on the fair value of the properties if only the average return rate is changed.
| Change in return requirements | Change in market value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (% points) | (DKK million) | ||
| 2019 | 2018 | ||
| 1.00% | -400 | -355 | |
| 0.75% | -312 | -276 | |
| 0.50% | -216 | -191 | |
| 0.25% | -113 | -99 | |
| -0.25% | 123 | 108 | |
| -0.50% | 258 | 225 | |
| -0.75% | 408 | 353 | |
| -1.00% | 575 | 495 |
The table shows that an increase in the rate of return of 0.25 percentage point would reduce the completed investment property fair value DKK - 113 million (31 December 2018: DKK -99 million).
The breakdown by activity based the property value is split as follows:
| Amount in Million DKK | 2019 | 2018 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail | 1,041 | 42% | 883 | 38% |
| Office | 1,024 | 41% | 1,014 | 44% |
| Residential | 261 | 11% | 255 | 11% |
| Storage | 28 | 1% | 27 | 1% |
| Others | 125 | 5% | 126 | 5% |
| Total | 2,478 | 2,305 |
From 2015 domicile properties have been evaluated at the amount equivalent to the fair value at the date of revaluation less depreciation, see mention in the note 31. Park Street Nordicom possesses at 31 December 2019 the following two domiciles:
When calculating the fair value of the above two domicile properties, principles and calculation methods are applied which are used to estimate the property's fair values.
Due to different characteristics, different principles and calculation methods are used for each of the two domicile properties.The fair value of both owner-occupied properties is based on significant estimates.
Changes in fair values are recognised in other comprehensive income statement. Domicile properties are derecognised when they have been disposed or transferred into investment property.
The estimation of the properties' fair value as of December 31, 2019 resulted in a positive revaluation of the properties' book value by DKK 7.0 million (31 December 2018: DKK 6.1 million), which is included under "Fair value adjustment of domicile properties" in other comprehensive income.
Park Street Nordicom's headquarters at Svanevej 12 in Copenhagen Nordvest neighbourhood is an office building that is partially used as domicile for Park Street Nordicom and partly for rental. The property is characterized by generating a current return on rent, similar to the Group's investment properties (see description above except that the property is also used as domicile for Park Street Nordicom). Principles and methods for determining the property's fair value is the same as the applied to Investment properties described above.
Property estimated market rent and determining the required return on owner-occupied property is based on inputs from an independent valuer.
The estimate of the property's fair value, similar to the Group's completed investment properties, is sensitive to changes in input in the valuation model. The most significant non-observable input used for estimating the fair value of the domicile property is as follows:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Market rent per sqm. per year (DKK) | 1,165 | 1,162 |
| Vacancy (%) | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Return requirement (% p.a.) | 5.50 | 5.75 |
The sensitivity to changes in the above non-observable input can be illustrated as follows (assuming the listed events occur one by one):
A general increase in market rent per sqm and decrease in vacancy in the district, where the property is located, will likely cause a drop in the yield requirement.
Park Street Nordicom hotel on Marbækvej 6 in Ballerup is a property where Park Street Nordicom via a management agreement operates the hotel. This property is thus characterized by generating a current return operation from the property. In order to calculate the property's fair value separated from the hotel operations, the measurement of the property's fair value based on an estimate of market rent that could be obtained on a normal lease. The estimate of market rent is calculated as a fixed percentage of the revenue of the hotel.
The estimate of the hotel's expected revenue is based on 2019 actual revenue and budgeted revenue for 2020.
Property estimated market rent and determining the required return on owner-occupied property is based on inputs from an independent valuer.
The estimate of the property's fair value, similar to the Group's completed investment properties, is sensitive to changes in input in the valuation model. The most significant non-observable input used for estimating the fair value of the domicile property is as follows:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Market rent (% of expected revenue from the hotel) | 33.0 | 33.0 |
| Return requirement (% p.a.) | 5.50 | 5.50 |
The sensitivity to changes in the above non-observable input can be illustrated as follows (assuming the listed events occur one by one):
Park Street Nordicom classifies the properties in the following categories:
Reference is made to note 33 in accounting policies for a more detailed description of how the properties are included in the above-mentioned classifications.
Classification of properties takes place on the basis of Park Street Nordicom's intentions with each land or property at the time of acquisition. If the future purpose for some reason is not finalized at the time of acquisition, the foundation is classified as an investment property.
In some cases, services may be provided to tenants, etc. that constitute significant benefits. Park Street Nordicom owns and operates a hotel where services to guests form a significant part of the total product. The property is therefore classified as a residential property.
Reclassification of properties between the above categories is made when the application is changed and a number of criteria are met. Notes to the individual financial statements indicate whether changes have been made to the classification regarding properties owned by Park Street Nordicom.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates/laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Tax assets arising from unused tax losses, are valued based on existing budgets and profit forecasts for a 3-year period. Tax is recognized for an unused tax loss carryforward or unused tax loss carryforward when it is considered probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profit against which the loss or credit carryforward can be utilised.
At December 31, 2019 the Group has included unused tax losses of DKK 206 million (31 December 2018: DKK 218 million), which all of them (31 December 2018: DKK 218 million) is estimated to be realized within a three-year period or against deferred tax liabilities. The reduction in unutilized losses in 2019 and 2018 is due to positive tax income.
As stated on Note 25 the value of the Group's mortgage debt and bank debt is classified as amortized cost.
As stated in Note 25 Group's non-convertible bonds are recognized as liabilities towards credit institution and are recognized as at fair value based on data that is non-observable in the market.
Park Street Nordicom's property portfolio is managed under a single management makes no segmentation of the portfolio. Information on the Group's revenue to external customers is disclosed in note 3 below.
The Group has no customers / tenants who make up more than 10% of the group's rental income. The group only has activities in Denmark.

In connection with the sale of a property (building rights) in 2016, it was agreed that if, in connection with the buyer's settlement there is a proof that the property is contaminated, Park Street Nordicom must reimburse the costs that may be needed to get property released for the buyer's purpose. Park Street Nordicom consider the agreement as a contingent liability as stated in Note 26.
In the process related to financial restructuring of Park Street Nordicom, an advisor claims an entitlement to certain performance linked fee. The Group has rejected the claim as it is not deemed likely that Park Street Nordicom has to pay the compensation and consider the claim as a contingent liability.

In connection with the sale of a property in 2014, Park Street Nordicom has been subject to a surcharge for the property if the purchaser on the site before 1 January 2024 obtains more building rights than assumed at the conclusion of the transaction. The additional price amounts to DKK 2,000 for each building rights. Additional building plans will require a change of the local plan for the area in which the property in question is located. Nordicom is not aware of any plans to change the local plan in question, for this reason Park Street Nordicom does not consider the potential additional price as a contingent asset.
As part of the sales agreement of the property sold in 2018, Park Street Nordicom and the buyer have agreed that Park Street Nordicom is entitled to obtain an additional supplement of DKK 1 million if the buyer completer a development project of more than 5,000 square meters within 5 years from the date of acquisition; the Company has decided not to recognize the contingent asset in the balance as at December 31, 2019.

The financial management of the Group is geared towards stabilization and optimization of the Group's operations, while at minimizing the Group's financial risk exposure. It is part of the Group's policy not to conduct speculative transactions by active use of financial instruments.
The group is due to its activities exposed to various financial risks, including liquidity risk, market risks (primarily interest rate risk) and credit risk.
Park Street Nordicom's liquidity risk consists on not being able to make regular payments and not being able to provide sufficient liquidity to cover the financing costs, capital repayment obligations and capital investments. Lack of liquidity may arise from insufficient cash resources and may be adversely affected by missed payments from Nordicom tenants, increased vacancy, repayment of deposits, divestments, unexpected costs and investment needs. Lack of liquidity may also arise from default of loans signed and in connection with refinancing when existing loan agreements expire or are terminated.
Cash reserves total at December 31, 2019 DKK 61.6 million (31 December 2018: DKK 54.3 million). Park Street Nordicom forecasts that current and generated liquidity is sufficient to carry out the group's planned activities throughout 2020.
Maturity of financial liabilities is specified as follows:
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | Carry forward balance |

Park Street Nordicom is as a result of its financing activities in significant extent exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate risk is therefore an essential element in the overall assessment of the Group's financial situation.
The interest rate risk as of December 31, 2019 primarily relate to the following:
Park Street Nordicom's major interest rate risk is the risk that the financial creditors on short notice increase terms of interest and margin rates. In this situation, the level of interest and contribution rates depend on negotiations with the financial institutions. The Group's loan portfolio is continuously monitored with a view to optimizing the group's exposure to interest rate risks. Park Street Nordicom at December 31, 2019 does not have financial instruments for interest rate hedging, and the group has limited opportunities to influence the interest rate risk in the current financial situation.
| Type of loan | Nominal | * Weighted | |
|---|---|---|---|

| At December 31, 2019: | |||
| Mortgage debt | Cibor3 | 39 | 0.96% |

| Banks and other payables. | Fixed | 438 | 3.17% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,591 | 1.99% |
Group's nominal financial debt is specified as follows, based on the type of interest rate that is linked to individual loans:
(*) Weighted interest rate (pa) includes contributions to mortgage and expresses the average weighted interest rates in effect at the turn of the year and in the subsequent period until the next repricing date.
The calculated weighted interest rate for all Group loans are at 31 December 2019 1.74% per annum, and is based on the latest confirmed interest rates. The corresponding calculated weighted rate at 31 December, 2018 was 1.99% per annum.
Breakdown by maturity until the next date of interest rate adjustment distributes the Group's loans as follows (as of Dec. 31):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Within six months | 498 | 56 |
| Between 6 and 12 months | 0 | 68 |
| Between 1 and 2 years | 727 | 384 |
| Between 2 and 5 years | 405 | 1,079 |
| After 5 years | 4 | 4 |
| 1,633 | 1,591 |
The interest rate adjustment date for fixed-rate and interest-free loans is included in the above table at the time of the renegotiation of the maturity and / or terms of the loans or where existing confirmations on a given interest rate expire for a period.
Interest rate risk from Park Street Nordicom's view can be presented in the following two divisions:
The hypothetical effect on the results and equity after tax as a result of 1 percentage point increase in interest rates (ex. Fair value adjustments) are illustrated in the following table:
| Amounts in DKK million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Variable Interest rate loans: | ||
| Effect on income statement | -12.6 | -11.5 |
| Effect on equity | -12.6 | -11.5 |
On loans from credit institutions, with ongoing interest rate adjustments resulting from changes in market interest rates, illustrates the table above that the hypothetical effect on net income and equity as a result of one percentage point increase in interest rates amounts to DKK -12.6 million per annum (2018: DKK -11.5 million).
The group exposure is very limited to changes in currency rates.
The Group's credit risk is primarily related to:
The maximum credit risk for financial assets is reflected in the accounting values of the balance sheet, and taking into account securities received.
Risks concerning to rental receivables are limited to Park Street Nordicom's options to deduct payments from deposits and termination of the covered leases. Credit risk on receivables arising from the sale of properties is limited, as the transactions are always subject to payment of purchase price and deposit of the purchase price. With mortgage deeds, the Group has an usual debtor risk, which is reduced by mortgages on properties.
In order to minimize the risk of loss of receivable rent, the tenants' ability to pay prior to entering into leases is assessed to the extent that it is relevant. In addition, there is usually a requirement for a cash deposit, a guarantee and / or prepaid rent. However, if a tenant is unable to pay, it may result in loss as well as reduced income due to rental allowance upon relocation, lower future rental income and any additional costs incurred in connection with refurbishment etc.
Credit risk on receivables at December 31, 2019 is further described in note 20.
Group's cash and short-term deposits consists primarily of deposits in reputable banks. The group believes that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash. Deposits in banks are labelled at variable interest rate.
Group's mortgage debt and bank debt is classified as amortized cost. Fair value of loans measured at amortised cost amount to DKK 1,629,815. Fair value has been determined as the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at a rate reflecting the current borrowing rate. Due to the fact that the terms of all loans were renegotiated in 2017, fair value of all floating rate loans is considered to be equal to their carrying aomunt. Based on a recent transaction, the fair value measurement is considered a level 2 measurement.
The fair value of zero-coupon debt is established based on the fair value estimated by an independent reviewer (estimated rate of 31.30 at December 31, 2019).
The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified on the following 3 levels in the fair value hierarchy:
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | Carry forward balance | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | ||||
| Mortgages and debentures | 8,335 | 0 | 8,335 | 0 |
| Total financial assets | 8,335 | 0 | 8,335 | 0 |
| Credit institutions | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total financial liabilities | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
| 2018 | ||||
| Mortgages and debentures | 8,618 | 0 | 8,618 | 0 |
| Total financial assets | 8,618 | 0 | 8,618 | 0 |
| Credit institutions | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
| Total financial liabilities | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
It is the Group's policy to recognise transfers between the different levels from the time at which an event or change in circumstances entails a change in the classifications. No transfers were made between levels 1 and 2 in the accounting period.
When calculating the fair value of the Group's liabilities in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a correction is made for the Group's own credit rating, taking into account the legal status of the liabilities, and the security in the assets measured at fair value. Consequently, no direct assumptions of discount factors, etc. are included when measuring liabilities to credit institutions in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The table below shows the change in liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value in the balance sheet based on valuation methods in which significant inputs are not based on observable market data (level 3):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount at 1st of January | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Gains / losses in the income statement | 0 | 0 |
| Redemptions | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer to Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer from Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Balance at 31st of December | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Gain / loss in the income statement for liabilities held at 31st of December | 0 | 0 |
|---|---|---|
Gains/losses concerning credit institutions measured at fair value are included in the item 'Adjustment to fair value, net' and in the item 'Special items' in the income statement. Liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value are transferred to/from level 3 in the fair value hierarchy depending on whether the fair value of the loans contains a correction for the Group's own credit rating.
For financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, the book value is assessed as being a reasonable approximation of fair value.
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | 2019 | 2018 |

In regards to the Covid-19 related Global Economic Disruption the Board of Directors states the following:
▪ Current measures from the Danish state, both in terms of social restrictions and economic support are focussed on a 3 month horizon. Park Street Nordicom's own internal planning is now centered on managing operations conservatively over this period. Any longer term disruption will require a far deeper state led economic support to the wider Danish economy, to which our performance and asset valuations are highly correlated.
Management considers the implications of Covid-19 a subsequent occurred after the balance sheet date (31 December 2019), which is therefore a non-adjusting event to the Company.
In view of the extremity of potential disruptions, and the uncertainties of the duration of such disruption, Park Street Nordicom has decided to not publish any EBVAT estimations for 2020 and withdraws any previous guidance provided to the market. Management finds itself unable to disclose reliably its outlook for the future in accordance with section 12 of the Danish Financial Statements Act. It is to be noted that the company is able to deliver on its operations and requisite support to the tenants via various ways of online and on site working during this period of deep disruption, which has been highly facilitated by its previous investments in developing an on-line property management platform.
The annual report for the period January 1 to December 31, 2019 for Park Street Nordicom A / S comprises the consolidated financial statements of Park Street Nordicom A / S and its subsidiary companies and separate financial statements of the parent company. The annual report of Park Street Nordicom A / S for the year 2019 is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and requirements according to the Danish Financial Statements Act. The annual report has been approved by the Board of Directors on March 26, 2020. The annual report shall be submitted to Park Street Nordicom A / S shareholders for approval at the Annual General Meeting that will take place on April 23, 2020.
The annual report is presented in Danish crown (DKK) rounded to the nearest DKK 1,000, which is considered to be the primary currency of the Group's activities and the functional currency of the parent company. The annual report is prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment properties and certain financial obligations that are measured at fair value. Further, investment properties and domicile are measured at reassessed value. The accounting policies are otherwise as described below.
Park Street Nordicom A / S has implemented all new or revised accounting standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU with effect for the financial year 1 January-31 December 2019. The implementation of new or amended standards and interpretations contributions have not had a material impact on Nordicom's consolidated accounts.
The Company has implemented the following amendments or new standards (IFRS) for financial year 2019:
According to IFRS 16 the lessee is required to recognise all leases as a lease liability and a lease asset in the balance sheet with two exceptions: short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases relating to low-value assets. It must furthermore be considered whether the agreement is a lease or a service arrangement.
The current rules remain largely unchanged for the lessor. Consequently, leases are still to be classified as finance leases and operating leases.
The amendment is effective for the financial year ended on 31 December 2019.
The consolidated financial statements include Park Street Nordicom A / S (parent company) and companies (subsidiaries) controlled by the parent. The parent company is deemed to have control if it (i) has control of the relevant activities in the entity, (ii) is exposed to or are entitled to a variable returns from the investment and (iii) may use its controlling interest to affect the variables of their return.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared as a consolidation of the parent financial statements and accounts of the individual subsidiaries, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, the elimination of intercompany income and expenses, shareholdings, balances, dividends and gains and losses on transactions, taken between the consolidated companies.
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Transactions in currencies other than the individual companies' functional currencies are translated initially at the transaction date. Receivables and payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising between the date of transaction and payment date or the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement under financial income or expenses. Exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign companies' balance sheet items at the beginning of the exchange rates and the translation of income statements from average rates to closing rates are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Exchange rate on full or partial disposal of foreign entities, where control is transferred, the foreign currency translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income, which is attributable to the unit from other comprehensive income to net income along with the gain or loss on the disposal.
Revenue includes rental income, interest on mortgage and debt instruments measured at fair value, sale amount from sold project holding, sales of goods and sales of other services. Rental Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is calculated exclusive of VAT collected on behalf of third parties and discounts.
Revenue from the sale of project portfolios is recognized when delivery takes place and transfer of risk to the buyer (sales method), ie when any construction is completed and finally transferred to the buyer, and all essential elements of the sales agreement are met. Sales of goods factored when delivery and risk transition have taken place.
Rental income, interest on mortgage and debt instruments measured at fair value, and sales of other services is recognized in the periods to which they relate.
Operating costs include costs directly related to turnover, including ongoing operating expenses of the Group investment properties, costs associated with the acquisition and construction of submitted project inventories and other operating costs.
Adjustment to fair value, net includes continuous adjustments of investment properties and related debt as well as debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Realized gains on sale of investment properties is recognized when the risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer, and the control of the property has been transferred.
Financial items include interest income and interest expenses, foreign exchange rate adjustments, amortization premiums / discounts, realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities as well as surcharges and refunds under the tax.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the development projects of investment or project portfolios, added to the cost of the assets until the time when the project is completed and the property can be used for the intended purpose. If there is a loan directly to finance the development project, calculated borrowing costs on the basis of an average interest rate of the group's loans except for loans recorded at the acquisition of specific assets. Other borrowing costs are recognized in the income statement in the periods to which they relate.
Tax for the year comprises current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the income statement with the portion attributable to the profit and directly in equity or in other comprehensive income with the portion attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity and in other comprehensive income.
Intangible assets (software) is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the asset's estimated useful lives. Intangible assets (software) have been depreciated under the assumption of 3 years of useful live.
Depreciation is based on revalued amount less estimated residual value after useful life (residual value).
Domicile properties are initially measured at cost. The cost comprises the cost and expenses directly associated with the acquisition. Fair value at the time of a previous investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, is considered the property new cost.
Domicile properties are then measured at a readjusted value, corresponding to the fair value at the time of re-evaluation less accumulated depreciation. Principles and Estimates Management's estimate of the properties' fair value are shown in note 1. Revaluations recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to the separate reserve for revaluation of equity. Owner-occupied properties are depreciated over the assets / components' estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Buildings | 50 years |
|---|---|
| Other components | 15-30 years |
Depreciation is based on revalued amount less estimated residual value after useful life (residual value). Land is not depreciated.
Investment property includes land and buildings held by Park Street Nordicom to earn rental income and / or capital gains. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, which comprises the properties and cost, directly related costs. Investment properties are then measured at fair value and all value adjustments are recognized in the income statement under "Adjustment to fair value, net".
Principles and methods for management's estimate of the properties' fair values is disclosed in note 1.
Land plots, where here is no final decision on the purpose of usage have been included in the Group's portfolio as investment properties..
All machinery and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the asset's estimated useful lives as stated above on Domicile.
Depreciation is based on revalued amount less estimated residual value after useful life (residual value).
Investments in subsidiaries are recognised and measured in the financial statements of the parent company under the equity method. On acquisition of subsidiaries, the difference between cost of acquisition and net asset value of the entity acquired is determined at the date of acquisition after the individual assets and liabilities having been adjusted to fair value (the acquisition method). The item "Income (loss) from investment in subsidiaries" in the income statement includes the proportionate share of the profit after tax of the subsidiary. The item "Investments in subsidiaries" in the balance sheet includes the proportionate ownership share of the net asset value of the entities calculated under the accounting policies of the parent company with deduction or addition of unrealised intercompany profits or losses and with addition of any remaining value of the positive differences (goodwill).
Subsidiaries with a negative net assets value are measured at DKK 0, and any receivables from these are written down by the parent company's share of the negative net asset value, if impaired. Any legal or constructive obligation of the parent company to cover the negative balance of the subsidiaries is recognised as provisions. The total net revaluation of investments in subsidiaries is transferred upon distribution of profit to " Reserve for net revaluation" under equity. Gains and losses on disposals or winding up of subsidiaries are calculated as the difference between the sales value or cost of winding up and the carrying amount of the net assets at the date of acquisition including goodwill and expected loss of disposal or winding up. The gains or losses are included in the income statement.
Investments in associates are recognised at cost price following the cost method principle. The investment is recorded at its historical cost (purchase price). Once the initial transaction is recorded there is no need to adjust it, unless there is evidence that the fair market value of the investment has declined below the recorded historical cost. If so, the investment is written down to adjust to its new fair value. Impairment of non-current assets
The carrying value of tangible assets that are not measured at fair value are assessed regularly and at least annually to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. When such an indication is present, the asset is valued at recovery value. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Value in use is the present value of expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the asset does not generate cash independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the smallest cashgenerating unit that includes the asset.
Impairment is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the assets' useful or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying amount that the asset would have had after depreciation if the asset had not been impaired.
Mortgages classified as financial instruments categorized as "financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss" are recognized at fair value on initial recognition and subsequently measured at fair value, continuously carried out a revaluation of this statement. Fair value is determined based on observable market data (interest rates), the debtor's creditworthiness and on assessments of the loan term to maturity and ranking in the position.
Project Holdings include properties held for the purpose of sale, including ongoing or completed construction projects for own account and former investment properties under development for sale.
Project inventories are measured at cost or net realizable value, if this is lower. Fair value at the time when a previous investment property is transferred to project inventory is considered the property's new cost.
The cost includes the purchase price of the properties plus project and construction costs incurred, as well as borrowing costs attributable to the project / conversion period and indirect project costs.
When it is estimated that the total cost of construction projects, including replacement / expansion projects, will exceed the total sales income, the expected loss is recognized in the profit and loss.
Receivables are measured at amortized cost. Impairment losses are made for losses which are deemed to have resulted in an objective indication that an individual receivable is impaired.
Prepayments recognized under assets comprise incurred costs related to coming financial years. Prepayments are measured at cost.
Dividends are recognized as a liability at the time of adoption at the general meeting. Dividends proposed for distribution is shown as a separate component of equity until the Annual General Meeting.
Acquisition and selling prices of company shares and dividends are recognized directly in equity under retained earnings.
Currency translation reserve includes the parent company shareholders' share of exchange rate differences arising from the translation of accounts for companies with a different functional currency than Danish crown. The reserve is dissolved by the disposal of foreign entities.
Reserve for revaluation includes the accumulated revaluation of domicile. The reserve is reduced by transfer to the profit for the year, as depreciation and write-downs are made on the properties written up or for sale.
Current tax liabilities and current tax receivables are recognized in the balance sheet as calculated tax on the taxable income, but adjusted for tax on prior years' taxable income and taxes paid on account.
Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities, excluding deferred taxes on temporary differences arising on initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of a transaction that is not a business combinations, and where the temporary difference found at the time of initial recognition affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income.
Deferred tax assets including the tax value of tax loss carryforwards, are recognized under non-current assets at the value at which they are expected to be used either by elimination in tax on future earnings or against deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reviewed annually and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and at the balance sheet date will be applicable in the respective countries when the deferred tax is expected to crystallize as current tax. Change in deferred tax due to changes in tax rates is recognized in the income statement.
Provisions are recognized when, as a result of an event occurring before or at the balance sheet date has a legal or actual obligation and it is probable that a payment will be needed to settle the obligation.
The item includes provision for dealing with specific uncertainties on completed projects. Provisions are measured on a best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation. Provisions with an expected maturity of one year and above are classified as non-current liabilities.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured as described below. Financial liablities are derecognised when they expiry, are cancelled or are converted into equity. A substantial modification of the terms of a financial liability is treated as a settlement of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. A change in the present value of the contractual cash flows with at least 10%, measured on the basis of the original effective interest rate, is treated as a substantial modification.
Financial liabilities attributable to investment properties are measured at amortised cost. Prior to the signficiant modification of the liabilities attributable to investment property, they were measured at fair value through profit or loss. Adjustments to financial liabilities attributable to investment properties were recognized in the income statement under "Adjustment at fair value, net".
Other liabilities, including non-current liabilities, debt to suppliers and other debt, are measured at amortized cost.
When a financial liability without equity conversion features is converted into equity, the liability is considered settled at the fair value of the shares issued. A gain or loss is reocgnised in financial items.
Assets held for sale include non-current assets that are for sale. Liabilities relating to assets held for sale are liabilities directly related to those assets that will be transferred during the transaction. Assets are classified as "held for sale" when their carrying amount will primarily be recouped through a sale within 12 months according to a formal plan rather than through continued use and provided that the sale at the balance sheet date is considered to be highly probable. When the properties are expected to be recovered from the sale of subsidiaries that own the properties, all the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are reclassified.
Assets are not depreciated from the time they are classified as "held for sale". Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount at the time of the "sale-for-sale" or fair value less cost of sale. However, investment properties held for sale are measured according to the Group's usual accounting policies for investment properties, ie. at fair value without deduction of selling costs.
The cash flow statement is presented according to the indirect method and shows cash flows divided by operating, investing and financing activities for the year, the year's shift in cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.
The liquidity effect on the sale of companies is shown separately under cash flow from investing activities. The cash flow statement recognizes the cash flows of sold companies until the date of sale.

Information on Group's financial loan agreements, mortgage debt and convertible bonds is disclosed in note 27 of the consolidated financial statements. Information on estimates and judgments related to the determination of fair value of financial liabilities is disclosed in note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. As stated in these notes mortgage and bank debt have been recognized at amortised cost in 2019. No reversal of fair value adjustments in 2019 and 2018.
See note 25 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The nominal pledge for the bank debt and mortgage debt given by credit institutions per December 31, 2019 amount a total of DKK 1,933 million (31 December 2018: DKK 2,034 million), the nominal value of the loans amounts a total of DKK 1,433 million (December 31, 2018: DKK 1,474 million) in the group's investment properties and domiciles with a book value totalling DKK 2,316 million (31 December 2018: DKK 2,316 million).
The nominal pledge for the bank debt and mortgage debt given by credit institutions per December 31, 2019 amount a total of DKK 0 million (31 December 2018: DKK 37.8 million), the nominal value of the loans amounts a total of DKK 0 million (December 31, 2018: DKK 3.1 million) in the group's project holdings with a book value totalling DKK 1.6 million (31 December 2018: DKK 1.6 million).
The nominal pledge for the bank debt and mortgage debt given by credit institutions per December 31, 2019 amount a total of DKK 8.3 million (31 December 2018: DKK 8.3 million), in the group's deposited mortgage deeds with a book value totalling DKK 8.3 million (31 December 2018: DKK 8.6 million).
In connection with the sale of a property (building rights) in 2016, it was agreed that if, in connection with the buyer's settlement there is a proof that the property is contaminated, Park Street Nordicom must reimburse the costs that may be needed to get property released for the buyer's purpose. Park Street Nordicom consider the agreement as a contingent liability as stated in Note 26 of the consolidated financial statements.
In the process related to financial restructuring of Park Street Nordicom, an advisor claims an entitlement to certain performance linked fee. The Group has rejected the claim as it is not deemed likely that Park Street Nordicom has to pay the compensation and consider the claim as a contingent liability. The court has resolved in favour of Park Street Nordicom, however the advisor has filed an appeal on that resolution.
No additional significant litigations and disputes are acknowledged by the Group at December 31, 2019 other than the ones indicated in Note 26 of the consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the sale of a property in 2014, Park Street Nordicom has been subject to a surcharge for the property if the purchaser on the site before 1 January 2024 obtains more building rights than assumed at the conclusion of the transaction. The additional price amounts to DKK 2,000 for each building rights. Additional building plans will require a change of the local plan for the area in which the property in question is located. Nordicom is not aware of any plans to change the local plan in question, for this reason Park Street Nordicom does not consider the potential additional price as a contingent asset.
As part of the sales agreement of the property sold in 2018, Park Street Nordicom and the buyer have agreed that Park Street Nordicom is entitled to obtain an additional supplement of DKK 1 million if the buyer completer a development project of more than 5,000 square meters within 5 years from the date of acquisition; the Company has decided not to recognize the contingent asset in the balance as at December 31, 2019.
There are leases for cars rental, office equipment, printers and a land plot.

The financial management of the Group is geared towards stabilization and optimization of the Group's operations, while at minimizing the Group's financial risk exposure. It is part of the Group's policy not to conduct speculative transactions by active use of financial instruments.
The group is due to its activities exposed to various financial risks, including liquidity risk, market risks (primarily interest rate risk) and credit risk.
Park Street Nordicom's liquidity risk consists on not being able to make regular payments and not being able to provide sufficient liquidity to cover the financing costs, capital repayment obligations and capital investments. Lack of liquidity may arise from insufficient cash resources and may be adversely affected by missed payments from Nordicom tenants, increased vacancy, repayment of deposits, divestments, unexpected costs and investment needs. Lack of liquidity may also arise from default of loans signed and in connection with refinancing when existing loan agreements expire or are terminated.
Cash reserves total at December 31, 2019 DKK 53.1 million (31 December 2018: DKK 53.8 million). Park Street Nordicom forecasts that current and generated liquidity is sufficient to carry out the group's planned activities throughout 2020.

Park Street Nordicom is as a result of its financing activities in significant extent exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate risk is therefore an essential element in the overall assessment of the Group's financial situation.
The interest rate risk as of December 31, 2019 primarily relate to the following:
▪ Renegotiation of fixed interest rate of bank debt associated with the extension of loans / terms. Fixed rate includes loans, which applies a fixed rate until the loans' maturity date, to other agreed point in time or until a renegotiation is made with the individual bank.
Park Street Nordicom's major interest rate risk is the risk that the financial creditors on short notice increase terms of interest and margin rates. In this situation, the level of interest and contribution rates depend on negotiations with the financial institutions. The Group's loan portfolio is continuously monitored with a view to optimizing the group's exposure to interest rate risks. Park Street Nordicom at December 31, 2019 does not have financial instruments for interest rate hedging, and the group has limited opportunities to influence the interest rate risk in the current financial situation.
Group's nominal financial debt is specified as follows, based on the type of interest rate that is linked to individual loans:
| Type of loan | Nominal | * Weighted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (DKK million) | interest rate (per annum) | ||
| At December 31, 2019: | |||
| Mortgage debt | Cibor3 | 39 | 0.96% |
| Mortgage debt | Cibor6 | 235 | 1.67% |
| Mortgage debt | F2 | 52 | 2.44% |
| Mortgage debt | F3 | 834 | 1.23% |
| Bank debt etc. | Fixed | 270 | 2.65% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,436 | 1.60% | ||
| At December 31, 2018: | |||
| Mortgage debt | Cibor6 | 258 | 1.84% |
| Mortgage debt | F1 | 525 | 1.49% |
| Mortgage debt | F2 | 85 | 1.95% |
| Mortgage debt | F3 | 281 | 1.22% |
| Banks and other payables. | Fixed | 335 | 3.64% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,488 | 2.43% |
(*) Weighted interest rate (pa) includes contributions to mortgage and expresses the average weighted interest rates in effect at the turn of the year and in the subsequent period until the next repricing date.
The calculated weighted interest rate for all Park Street Nordicom loans are at 31 December 2019 1.60% per annum, and is based on the latest confirmed interest rates. The corresponding calculated weighted rate at 31 December, 2018 was 2.43% per annum.
Breakdown by maturity until the next date of interest rate adjustment distributes the Group's loans as follows (as of Dec. 31):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Within six months | 395 | 56 |
| Between 6 and 12 months | 0 | 68 |
| Between 1 and 2 years | 727 | 282 |
| Between 2 and 5 years | 311 | 1,078 |
| After 5 years | 4 | 4 |
| 1,436 | 1,488 |
The interest rate adjustment date for fixed-rate and interest-free loans is included in the above table at the time of the renegotiation of the maturity and / or terms of the loans or where existing confirmations on a given interest rate expire for a period.
Interest rate risk from Park Street Nordicom's view can be presented in the following two divisions:
The hypothetical effect on the results and equity after tax as a result of 1 percentage point increase in interest rates (ex. Fair value adjustments) are illustrated in the following table:
| Amounts in DKK million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Variable Interest rate loans: | ||
| Effect on income statement | -11.6 | -11.5 |
| Effect on equity | -11.6 | -11.5 |
On loans from credit institutions, with ongoing interest rate adjustments resulting from changes in market interest rates, illustrates the table above that the hypothetical effect on net income and equity as a result of one percentage point increase in interest rates amounts to DKK -11.6 million per annum (2018: DKK -11.5 million).
The group exposure is very limited to changes in currency rates.
The Group's credit risk is primarily related to:
The maximum credit risk for financial assets is reflected in the accounting values of the balance sheet, and taking into account securities received.
Risks concerning to rental receivables are limited to Park Street Nordicom's options to deduct payments from deposits and termination of the covered leases. Credit risk on receivables arising from the sale of properties is limited, as the transactions are always subject to payment of purchase price and deposit of the purchase price. With mortgage deeds, the Group has an usual debtor risk, which is reduced by mortgages on properties.
In order to minimize the risk of loss of receivable rent, the tenants' ability to pay prior to entering into leases is assessed to the extent that it is relevant. In addition, there is usually a requirement for a cash deposit, a guarantee and / or prepaid rent. However, if a tenant is unable to pay, it may result in loss as well as reduced income due to rental allowance upon relocation, lower future rental income and any additional costs incurred in connection with refurbishment etc.
Credit risk on receivables at December 31, 2019 is further described in note 18 of the consolidated financial statements.
Group's cash and short-term deposits consists primarily of deposits in reputable banks. The group believes that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash. Deposits in banks are labelled at variable interest rate.
Group's mortgage debt and bank debt is classified as amortized cost. Fair value of loans measured at amortised cost amount to DKK 1,432,526. Fair value has been determined as the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at a rate reflecting the current borrowing rate. Due to the fact that the terms of all loans were renegotiated in 2017, fair value of all floating rate loans is considered to be equal to their carrying aomunt. Based on a recent transaction, the fair value measurement is considered a level 2 measurement.
The fair value of zero-coupon debt is established based on the fair value estimated by an independent reviewer (estimated rate of 31.30 at December 31, 2019).
The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified on the following 3 levels in the fair value hierarchy:
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | Carry forward balance | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | ||||
| Mortgages and debentures | 8,335 | 0 | 8,335 | 0 |
| Intercompany loan | 15,910 | 0 | 0 | 15,910 |
| Total financial assets | 24,245 | 0 | 8,335 | 15,910 |
| Credit institutions | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
| Total financial liabilities | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
| 2018 | ||||
| Mortgages and debentures | 8,618 | 0 | 8,618 | 0 |
| Intercompany loan | 1,026 | 0 | 0 | 1,026 |
| Total financial assets | 9,644 | 0 | 8,618 | 1,026 |
| Credit institutions | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
| Total financial liabilities | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
It is the Group's policy to recognise transfers between the different levels from the time at which an event or change in circumstances entails a change in the classifications. No transfers were made between levels 1 and 2 in the accounting period.
When calculating the fair value of the Group's liabilities in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a correction is made for the Group's own credit rating, taking into account the legal status of the liabilities, and the security in the assets measured at fair value. Consequently, no direct assumptions of discount factors, etc. are included when measuring liabilities to credit institutions in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The table below shows the change in liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value in the balance sheet based on valuation methods in which significant inputs are not based on observable market data (level 3):
| Balance at 31st of December | 3,548 | 3,548 |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer from Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer to Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Redemptions | 0 | 0 |
| Gains / losses in the income statement | 0 | 0 |
| Carrying amount per. 1st of January | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Amounts in DKK million | 2019 | 2018 |
Gains/losses concerning credit institutions measured at fair value are included in the item 'Adjustment to fair value, net' and in the item 'Special items' in the income statement of the consolidated financial statements. Liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value are transferred to/from level 3 in the fair value hierarchy depending on whether the fair value of the loans contains a correction for the Group's own credit rating.
For financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, the book value is assessed as being a reasonable approximation of fair value.
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | 2019 | 2018 |
