In the first nine months of 2017/18, TK Development handed over a 3,200 sqm retail park in Oskarshamn, Sweden, to the investor, handed over the apartments sold in the Amerika Have project in Copenhagen to the buyers and handed over the initial phase of the Strædet retail project in Køge to the investor.
TK Development has sold and initiated a number of projects after the balance sheet date. In total, construction projects of some 27,000 sqm have been initiated after the balance sheet date. These projects are:
In December 2017, TK Development began construction of the fourth and final phase of the Bielany residential project in Warsaw. The project comprises about 12,500 sqm and will consist of 227 residential units and service facilities. 20% of the units have been reserved in advance.
TK Development has concluded conditional agreements for the sale of 12,000 sqm of residential building rights to private investors and a conditional agreement for the sale of 5,500 sqm of residential buildings rights to a housing association.
Plans are afoot to add a cinema to BROEN Shopping, which opened in April 2017, and a lease agreement has been concluded with Nordisk Film Cinemas for the establishment of an eightscreen cinema in connection with the centre. Construction commenced in November 2017 after the building permit for the cinema had been obtained. The cinema is expected to open its doors in spring 2019.
As part of the termination of the Group's Czech activities and in order to optimise values, the Board of Directors has, as previously announced, decided to develop and complete the Outlet Arena Moravia development project in Ostrava. In November 2017, TK Development sold the outlet centre under development to CPI Property Group, a major international property group with properties in 11 countries, under a conditional sale agreement. The outlet centre comprises some 17,000 sqm, of which the initial phase accounts for 11,700 sqm. Construction of the initial phase commenced in December 2017, and handover to the investor is scheduled for end-2018.
be overly optimistic. There is still a maturing potential, but it will likely take longer than previously assumed to realise selling prices in line with original expectations.
The Board of Directors has today decided to divest the asset management business as soon as possible in order to free up capital and focus on property development activities in Denmark and Sweden, which are still assessed to generate satisfactory earnings for shareholders.

The calculation of key ratios is based on the 2015 guidelines issued by The Danish Finance Society.
In December 2015, TK Development defined a number of strategic goals and initiatives intended to streamline TK Development into a pure developer business. The main elements of this strategy were to focus on property development activities in Denmark, Sweden and Poland, while the Group's asset management activities were to be matured and optimised for purposes of selling them off within a period of 3-5 years and distributing net proceeds to shareholders.
The Board of Directors has reviewed the Company's business platform, strategic focus and movements in capital tied-up and in that connection taken stock of developments since the strategic goals were announced.
Since 2015, targeted efforts have been made to carry out the strategy, and the Company has come a long way in a number of areas, especially in terms of generating satisfactory returns on its property development activities in Denmark and Sweden.
By contrast, the process of maturing and optimising the Company's portfolio of assets under management has not been satisfactory. The Board of Directors notes that it has not been possible to mature several of these assets as quickly as hoped, and it is expected to take longer than previously assumed to realise selling prices in line with the original expectations.
Against this background, the Board of Directors has today resolved to take the following action:
Going forward, the Group will only have activities in the Danish and Swedish markets.
The Danish market has shown a satisfactory performance in the past few years and has a strong pipeline for the next few years. The Group has a good organisation and strong skills in the Danish market, and business opportunities are rich. Accordingly, Management expects satisfactory returns for the Group's shareholders from this market in the years ahead.
The Swedish market also offers an attractive potential, and the Company has generally succeeded in completing projects in this market with limited capital allocation. Management also expects the Swedish market to generate satisfactory returns for shareholders.
Business opportunities are found in the Polish market as well, but, compared against requirements for capital tie-up and the risk profile, the anticipated return is no longer considered attractive. Management believes it would be more appropriate to allocate the capital to the less risky markets of Denmark and Sweden, and the goal is to divest the Polish activities within the next two years.
The Group's focus going forward will be on urban development, housing, retail and business projects and often a combination of these segments. As a general rule, projects will only be initiated if they have been fully or partially presold to investors, and that a minimum of capital is tied up.
The Board of Directors has decided to divest the Group's activities outside Denmark and Sweden as well as its Danish asset management activities as soon as possible in order to free up capital and focus on the property development business in Denmark and Sweden.
The Company has owned several plots of land for a number of years with a view to initiating development when the right tenants and investors were identified. Due to the decision to divest the Polish activities and to sell the activities in Germany and the Baltics sooner than originally intended, the Company will be selling its land sooner than originally assumed, which is causing impairment losses.
The process of maturing and optimising the Company's portfolio of shopping centres has not been satisfactory, and the Board of Directors notes that it has not been possible to mature all of these assets as quickly as hoped. There are several reasons for
this. The economy is expanding, but the effects have failed to filter through to consumer spending in physical shops. This has resulted in cutthroat competition among rival shopping centres, and the competitive landscape is further affected by the growing volume of online purchases. As a consequence, many traditional centres are reporting relatively flat revenue growth, which is putting rent levels under pressure. Previous assumptions regarding the maturing and optimisation of some centres have turned out to be overly optimistic. There is still a maturing potential, but it will likely take longer than previously assumed to realise selling prices in line with original expectations.
Based on the Group's forward-looking focus on its property development business and given the current economic climate, tying up capital in asset management activities for a longer period is not considered attractive. Accordingly, the assets will be divested as soon as possible.
The net proceeds from the sale of asset management activities will be distributed to the Group's shareholders.
As a consequence of the decisions to change the strategic focus and accelerate the sale of assets, the Board of Directors has written down a number of assets effective today. Impairment losses of a total of DKK 405 million have been recognised. The amount breaks down into DKK 60 million recognised on property development activities in Poland and DKK 345 million on asset management activities, of which DKK 165 million in Poland, DKK 120 million in Denmark and DKK 60 million in other markets.
The Polish property development assets have been written down by DKK 60 million, distributed on three plots of land in Poznan, Sosnowiec and Bytom which the Group has owned for a number of years. Due to their size and to regulatory issues, the short-term development of these plots of land is difficult, and given the plans to divest the Polish activities within two years, there is no longer a viable basis for maintaining the previous valuations. The plots of land have been written down to net realisable value. In addition to these plots, TK Development owns a housing project in progress in Bielany, of which the fourth and final phase has just been initiated and is expected to be completed and sold in 2019.
The Polish asset management activities have been written down by DKK 165 million. Impairment losses have been recognised on the Group's wholly-owned shopping centre, Galeria Sandecja in Nowy Sącz, and the 30%-owned shopping centres, Galeria Tarnovia in Tarnów and Galeria Nowy Rynek in Jelenia Góra.
The centre in Nowy Sącz has been severely challenged by competition from a rival centre for a number of years. Maturing and optimisation efforts during the past few years have improved the asset, but its full and previously anticipated potential is no longer expected to be realised within the 2-year period during which the Polish activities are expected to be sold off. Management has decided to attempt to sell the centre as soon as possible, as a result of which it has been written down by DKK 100 million.
The two 30%-owned shopping centres in Tarnów and Jelenia Góra, respectively, have also been challenged by severe competition. The situation facing the centres is improving but at a slower pace than expected. Due to a postponement of a sale of the centres, TK Development will have to pay a larger than expected advance return to the joint venture partner. TK Development recognised an impairment loss of DKK 26 million on the investment in financial year 2016/17 and has now decided to write down its value by an additional DKK 65 million.
In Denmark, an impairment loss of DKK 120 million has been recognised on the Group's largest asset, Sillebroen Shopping in Frederikssund. Sillebroen Shopping was planned and built in 2006-2010 based on market analysis and realised pre-letting. The project had not been fully or partially presold.
The market has proven unable to absorb a centre of this size, due partly to the postponed establishment of the planned new town of Vinge and a growing volume of online purchases. Despite a number of stimulatory maturing and optimisation activities, including the establishment of a cinema and a fitness centre, revenue has remained flat. The centre has additional maturing potential, but it will take longer than previously assumed to realise it.
Hence, the centre is unlikely to fetch the previously expected selling price in the short term. Against this background, in combination with current business conditions, Management believes a prolonged maturing process would be futile and will attempt to sell the centre. The value of the centre has consequently been reduced by DKK 120 million to its expected net realisable value.
In the Group's other markets, i.e. Germany, the Baltics and the Czech Republic, the value of land and projects has been written down/adjusted by DKK 60 million. These impairment losses relate partly to a plot of land in Riga, Latvia, the development of which has proven more difficult than anticipated, and partly to two assets in Germany where development efforts have so far failed to produce satisfactory results. With these impairment losses recognised, the Group's assets in these two markets represent a value of some DKK 60 million.
The Board of Directors has decided to adjust the segmentation of the Group's activities. Due to the decision to sell off the Polish activities, these activities will, going forward, be included under asset management activities for reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Group will report on the following segments as from the fourth quarter of financial year 2017/18 in terms of profit/loss and as from 31 October 2017 in terms of balance sheet items:
The Board of Directors has allocated equity of DKK 500 million to the property development segment as at 31 October 2017 and targets an annual return on equity of 15-20% before tax going forward. This is considered an appropriate amount of tied-up equity going forward.
The full costing method will be pursued in relation to the two segments, and previous costs and balance sheet items related to overheads and non-allocated balance sheet items will be allocated to the property development segment.
Based on the above, the profit forecast for financial year 2017/18 has been downgraded. The consolidated result for 2017/18 is expected to be a loss of about DKK 355 million before tax, compared with the previous estimate of a profit before tax of DKK 50-60 million. Excluding the above-mentioned impairment losses, the consolidated profit before tax for 2017/18 is expected to be about DKK 50 million.
The property development activities are expected to report a loss of about DKK 10 million before tax. The weaker than previously expected result is attributable to the DKK 60 million impairment loss on the previously mentioned land in Poland.
The asset management activities are expected to report a loss of about DKK 345 million before tax. The weaker than previously expected result is attributable to the abovementioned DKK 345 million impairment loss on the previous asset management activities in Denmark, Poland and other markets.
The Board of Directors previously targeted a solvency ratio of about 40%. As a result of the above developments, the Group's solvency ratio was 35.5% at 31 October 2017. Based on the sale of the second phase of the Strædet project in Køge to Citycon agreed in December 2017, the solvency ratio will be back at around 40%. The 40% target is maintained.
Guidance for financial year 2018/19:
The expectations stated in this interim report, including earnings forecasts, are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ from the guidance provided. Expectations may be impacted by factors generally affecting the sector as well as the factors referred to under Risk management and in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Group's annual report for 2016/17, Accounting estimates and judgments, including the valuation of the Group's project portfolio.
The Board of Directors wishes to complete a generational change at CEO level and has launched a search for a new group CEO.
In that connection, it has been agreed that the current CEO, Frede Clausen, will step down when a new CEO has been found
at the latest. Until such time, the Group's activities will be managed by Frede Clausen and Executive Vice President Robert Andersen.
Frede Clausen has been a member of the Executive Board since 1992 and has served as CEO since 2002.
Any questions in this regard may be directed to Peter Thorsen, Chairman, tel. +45 4070 0676.
The result before tax for the first nine months of 2017/18 was a loss of DKK 397.8 million against a profit of DKK 0.2 million in the first nine months of 2016/17. The result after tax was a loss of DKK 395.9 million against a loss of DKK 4.1 million in the same period of 2016/17.
Revenue came to DKK 244.6 million, down from DKK 348.5 million in the first nine months of 2016/17. The gross result was a loss of DKK 293.4 million against a profit of DKK 72.6 million in the year-earlier period. In addition to the impairment losses described above, the gross result primarily reflects the earnings effect of projects handed over in the property development business, the operation of the Group's wholly-owned completed properties and fee income.
The result from joint ventures was a loss of DKK 20.2 million compared with a profit of DKK 15.2 million in the first nine months of 2016/17. The contribution from the property development business includes a positive value adjustment, DKK 4.5 million, of the Group's ownership interest in BROEN Shopping, the operation of the centre since its opening in April 2017 and profits from the sale and handover of a substantial share of the residential units of the America Have project in Copenhagen. The contribution from asset management includes the operation of the Group's partially-owned completed properties and the above-mentioned impairment loss on the Group's investment in the joint venture owning two shopping centres in operation in Poland in which TK Development has an ownership interest of 30%.
Staff costs and other external expenses amounted to DKK 58.6 million against DKK 59.5 million in the first nine months of 2016/17.
Net financing expenses amounted to DKK 25.6 million against DKK 28.3 million in the year-earlier period.
Total assets amounted to DKK 2,541.9 million at 31 October 2017 against DKK 2,852.9 million at 31 January 2017.
Having been adjusted downwards by DKK 25 million in the period under review, the carrying amount of the Group's investment property is currently DKK 28.1 million. TK Development also has investment properties in joint ventures.
Net investments in and receivables from joint ventures amoun-
ted to DKK 398.6 million against DKK 474.1 million at 31 January 2017. The decline primarily reflects impairment losses, see above, investments in BROEN Shopping and the share of the period's profit of joint ventures less dividend distributions, etc.
Deferred tax assets totalled DKK 66.3 million against DKK 75.4 million at 31 January 2017. The deferred tax assets relate exclusively to the Group's Danish activities, as the Group's foreign tax assets have been written off.
The total project portfolio amounts to DKK 1,923.5 million against DKK 2,155.2 million at 31 January 2017. The decline derives from a combination of impairment losses, see above, investments in projects in progress, including Strædet in Køge and Domus Vista in Frederiksberg, and the decrease resulting from the handover of projects sold and prepayments from clients. Total prepayments from clients amounted to DKK 161.2 million at 31 October 2017 against DKK 72.5 million at 31 January 2017.
Projects in progress and completed projects also include the Group's portfolio of land. The land portfolio amounted to DKK 374 million at 31 October 2017 compared with DKK 453 million at 31 January 2017. The land portfolio was reduced by DKK 100 million after the balance sheet date in connection with the commencement of the fourth and final phase of the Bielany residential project in Warsaw.
Consolidated equity stood at DKK 902.5 million compared with DKK 1,293.7 million at 31 January 2017, for a solvency ratio of 35.5%.
The Group's liabilities totalled DKK 1,639.4 million at 31 October 2017 compared with DKK 1,559.2 million at 31 January 2017. The increase reflects higher payables to credit institutions and lower trade payables.
Cash flows for the period were a net outflow of DKK 4.1 million against a net inflow of DKK 16.5 million in the year-earlier period.
Cash flows from operating activities were a net outflow of DKK 86.0 million (Q1-Q3 2016/17: net inflow of DKK 25.0 million), reflecting an increase in funds tied up in projects and receivables less dividend distributions from joint ventures, as well as interest payments and operations.
Cash flows from investing activities were a net inflow of DKK 0.6 million (Q1-Q3 2016/17: net outflow of DKK 7.9 million).
Cash flows from financing activities were a net inflow of DKK 81.3 million, reflecting project funding raised for projects in progress and a reduction of other payables to credit institutions (Q1-Q3 2016/17: net outflow of DKK 0.6 million).
Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 1,280.6 million at 31 October 2017 against DKK 1,196.2 million at 31 January 2017. At 31 October 2017, project funding of DKK 480.4 million was due by the end of January 2018. Most of these facilities are expected to be repaid before maturity upon handover of the relevant projects to investors.
In the first quarter of 2017/18, TK Development extended its operating and project funding agreement with its main bankers until 30 April 2018.
TK Development usually finances its projects through traditional bank funding. Loan agreements usually contain a number of covenants to be met at specific intervals. In two of the Group's partially-owned companies in Poland, the letting situation needs to improve even further in order for the agreed covenants to be met also going forward.
TK Development has sold and initiated a number of projects after the balance sheet date. In total, construction projects of some 27,000 sqm have been initiated after the balance sheet date. These projects are:
In December 2017, TK Development began construction of the fourth and final phase of the Bielany residential project in Warsaw. The project comprises about 12,500 sqm and will consist of 227 residential units and service facilities. 20% of the units have been reserved in advance.
TK Development has concluded conditional agreements for the sale of 12,000 sqm of residential building rights to private investors and a conditional agreement for the sale of 5,500 sqm of residential buildings rights to a housing association.
Plans are afoot to add a cinema to BROEN Shopping, which ope-
ned in April 2017, and a lease agreement has been concluded with Nordisk Film Cinemas for the establishment of an eightscreen cinema in connection with the centre. Construction commenced in November 2017 after the building permit for the cinema had been obtained. The cinema is expected to open its doors in spring 2019.
As part of the termination of the Group's Czech activities and in order to optimise values, the Board of Directors has, as previously announced, decided to develop and complete the Outlet Arena Moravia development project in Ostrava. In November 2017, TK Development sold the outlet centre under development to CPI Property Group, a major international property group with properties in 11 countries, under a conditional sale agreement. The outlet centre comprises some 17,000 sqm, of which the initial phase accounts for 11,700 sqm. Construction of the initial phase commenced in December 2017, and handover to the investor is scheduled for end-2018.
Except as described in the management commentary, no significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date that may affect the Company's financial position.
TK Development pursues group-wide liquidity targets for the purpose of ensuring sufficient future financial resources. In addition, the Board of Directors has adopted a 40% solvency target for the Group, calculated as the ratio of equity to total assets. Vis-à-vis its main banker, the Group has committed to maintaining a group solvency ratio of at least 30%, as measured at the presentation of interim and annual reports, and to pursuing liquidity targets. Both covenants were satisfied in the period under review.
Management's overall assessment of the market conditions facing the property sector in general and TK Development in particular is unchanged relative to the most recently published assessment. For a detailed description of this assessment, reference is made to TK Development's interim report for H1 2017/18.
The Group's principal risk factors are described in the annual report for 2016/17.
TK Development's segments comprise property development and asset management activities.

The Group's primary business area is property development. The Group's strategic focus is on property development in Denmark and Sweden. Through to 31 October 2017, the Group's property development activities in Poland were included under property development, but as from 31 October 2017, these activities have been transferred to asset management as a result of the Board of Directors' decision to divest TK Development's activities in Poland.
The level of activity is generally high in the Danish as well as the Swedish property development business.

Due to total impairment losses on the Polish land portfolio of DKK 60 million, the result before tax for the first nine months of 2017/18 was a loss of DKK 33.5 million.
TK Development has completed a 3,200 sqm retail park project in Oskarshamn, Sweden. The project was handed over to the investor in Q1 2017/18 along with an option to expand the project by 4,700 sqm.
The 19,000 sqm retail project along with parking facilities of about 13,000 sqm have been sold under a conditional sale agreement to Finnish-based Citycon. The project is being handed over to Citycon in three phases. The initial phase, totalling 4,400 sqm and comprising a cinema and restaurants, was completed in May 2017 and handed over to Citycon in July 2017. Handover of the second phase, comprising some 12,000 sqm, to Citycon was agreed after the balance sheet date and will significantly reduce total consolidated assets. The project is described in detail below.
Amerika Have, residential project, Copenhagen, Denmark In association with By & Havn I/S and AP Pension, TK Development has developed the Amerika Have project, which comprises residential units of about 12,000 sqm and business premises of about 500 sqm targeting the general public. A total of 121 high-quality apartments have been constructed, and the units sold have been handed over to the respective buyers. The project is described in detail below.
In addition, TK Development sold a few minor plots of land and generated fee income on a few projects.
The development potential of the Danish and Swedish project portfolios at 31 October 2017 was some 350,000 sqm.
TK Development is currently involved in construction projects comprising some 70,000 sqm, including asset management projects in progress. These projects are progressing satisfactorily.
Pipeline projects are moving ahead at a good pace on the back of robust tenant and investor interest. With the Group working on a number of major projects, Management expects to meet its strategic goal of a return on equity of 15-20% p.a. before tax in the property development business as from financial year 2018/19.
The outline below lists the key projects of the property development portfolio. The outline includes projects in wholly-owned companies as well as in joint ventures. In addition, TK Develop
ment's activities include a number of small and medium-sized projects in the Group's primary segments – retail, office and residential – as well as combinations of these segments.

Adjacent to Køge Station and the town centre shopping area, TK Development is building a 34,300 sqm project comprising a retail project of about 19,000 sqm, public service facilities of just under 9,000 sqm, including a town hall and a rehabilitation centre, and residential units totalling about 6,300 sqm. In addition, the project comprises parking facilities of about 13,000 sqm. The building rights for the town hall and the rehabilitation centre have been sold to the Municipality of Køge.
The 19,000 sqm retail project has been sold to Finnish-based Citycon together with parking facilities of about 13,000 sqm. The project is being handed over to Citycon in three phases.
The initial phase, totalling some 4,000 sqm and comprising a cinema and restaurants, was completed in May 2017 and handed over to the buyer in July 2017. Construction of the second phase of some 12,000 sqm was challenged, and therefore delayed, by the bankruptcy of a contractor in August 2017. The second phase has now been completed, and the shops opened at the end of September 2017. Handover of the second phase to the investor was agreed after the balance sheet date and will significantly reduce total consolidated assets. The third and final phase of the project, totalling some 3,000 sqm, is expected to be completed in 2018.
The current occupancy rate for the total retail project is 92% (Q2 2017/18: 91%). Tenants include Irma, Fakta, H&M, Bones, Kings & Queens, Sportigan, Wagner, Gina Tricot, Deichmann and a six-screen Nordisk Film cinema.
In the context of the 6,300 sqm residential project, TK Devel-
opment is currently developing about 3,000 sqm of housing units in Rådhusstrædet. A total of 28 residential units will be constructed, consisting of both owner-occupied units and two-storey town houses. The pre-completion sale has begun, and just under half of the units have been sold. Construction is ongoing, and the first residential units are expected to be ready for handover at the end of 2017.
Kommanditaktieselskabet Danlink Udvikling (DLU), owned on a 50/50 basis by Udviklingsselskabet By & Havn I/S and TK Development, has developed a project at Amerika Plads in a 50/50 joint venture with AP Pension. The project – Amerika Have – comprises residential units of about 12,000 sqm and business premises of about 500 sqm targeting the general public. A total of 121 high-quality apartments have been constructed, 119 of which have been sold (Q2 2017/18: 119). The process of developing, constructing and selling the project has been highly satisfactory. Most of the units sold were handed over to the respective buyers in Q2 2017/18 and the remaining units in Q3 2017/18. Profits from the sale of the project were recognised as the apartments were handed over.
In Frederiksberg, TK Development has sold a 5,300 sqm youth housing project under a conditional sale agreement to Koncenton, which has taken over the letting process as part of the deal. Construction began in October 2016, and the completed project is expected to be handed over to the investor in spring 2018.
In the area previously occupied by Aalborg Shipyard at Stuhrs Brygge, TK Development is developing a business and residential park through a company owned on a 50/50 basis with Frederikshavn Maritime Erhvervspark. One of the planned projects comprises about 7,000 sqm of owner-occupied prime-location units at Beddingen. The pre-completion sale of the 43 apartments has begun, and 40% have been presold. Construction commenced in mid-2017, and the apartments are expected to be ready for occupation in late 2018.
Another of the planned projects at Østre Havn is a 4,900 sqm rental property. This project has been sold to a private investor, who will also handle the letting process. The sale will be executed on a forward funding basis, meaning that the investor will pay for the project in step with its completion. Construction began in early 2017 and is scheduled to be completed and handed over to the buyer in spring 2018.
In Vanløse, TK Development has sold a 1,700 sqm youth housing project under a conditional sale agreement to Koncenton, which took over the letting process as part of the deal. Construction commenced in August 2017, and the completed project is expected to be handed over to the investor in autumn 2018.
The Nyhavnsgade project, also at Østre Havn, is a rental property of some 2,650 sqm. The project has been sold under a conditional sale agreement to a private investor, who will also handle the letting process. The sale will be executed on a forward funding basis, meaning that the investor will pay for the project in step with its completion. Construction is expected to commence in early 2018 and is scheduled to be completed and handed over to the buyer in early 2019.
The Beddingen 5A project is also located at Østre Havn. The project comprises some 6,100 sqm. Final negotiations concerning the sale of the project are currently ongoing with a private property company. The investor is expected to handle the letting process. Construction is expected to commence in early 2018 and is scheduled to be completed and handed over to the buyer in mid-2019.
The project comprises some 3,800 sqm of owner-occupied units and will be developed in collaboration with a private property developer. A building permit for the project is expected in the near future, following which the pre-completion sale will begin. Construction is expected to commence in early 2018 and is scheduled to be completed and handed over to the buyers
in late 2019.
In a joint venture with private investors, TK Development is working on an area previously occupied by Bombardier, the train manufacturers, in Randers, where the plan is to develop some 140,000 sqm of retail shops, housing units, offices, etc. The local development plan for the area has been adopted, and the joint venture will take over the area in mid-December 2017. The project is attracting a good deal of interest from both investors and users. Work is currently ongoing to sell the building rights for a few of the area's building plots, and several agreements are in place. TK Development has concluded a conditional agreement for the sale of 12,000 sqm of residential building rights to private investors and a conditional agreement for the sale of 5,500 sqm of residential buildings rights to a housing association. In addition, negotiations on the sale of other building plots are at an advanced stage, and work is ongoing concerning the development of a combined supermarket and housing project.
In Arninge in Stockholm, the municipal authorities have appointed TK Development as their preferred partner for the development of an area that is to serve as the entry point to the town centre of Arninge. TK Development is currently engaged in the planning process together with the municipal authorities. The project is expected to comprise about 60,000 sqm, primarily retail stores, with a possible option of including office premises as well. Both tenants and investors have shown considerable interest in the project, and work on the planning, letting and sale will proceed during the months ahead. The local development plan for the area is expected to be available in autumn 2019. Construction is expected to commence in late 2019 with completion scheduled for 2021.
TK Development is currently developing an 8,000 sqm retail park in Södertälje. Leases for about 88% of the total space (Q2 2017/18: 70%) have been signed, including with a supermarket. Construction is expected to commence shortly and to be completed in spring 2019.
The Group's asset management activities comprise the operation of the Group's completed properties and investment properties as well as land and development projects in markets where the Group wishes to eventually discontinue its activities. As a result of the Board of Directors' decision to divest the Group's Polish activities, these activities are included under asset management as from 31 October 2017.
TK Development's activities outside Denmark and Sweden will, together with its asset management activities in Denmark, be divested as soon as possible.
The net proceeds from the sale of asset management activities will be distributed to the Group's shareholders.

The process of maturing and optimising the Company's portfolio of shopping centres has not been satisfactory, and the Board of Directors notes that it has not been possible to mature several of these assets as quickly as hoped.
The economy is expanding, but the effects have failed to filter through to consumer spending in physical shops. This has resulted in cutthroat competition among rival shopping centres, and the competitive landscape is further affected by the growing volume of online purchases. As a consequence, many traditional centres are reporting relatively flat revenue growth, which is putting rent levels under pressure.
Returns on individual centres vary and are presently, based on current occupancy rates, between 4.5% and 7.5% *).
*) Returns for the two partially-owned Polish shopping centres are stated before preferred returns to the joint venture partner.
| Opening | April 2017 |
|---|---|
| Leasable area | 29,800 sqm, including a 5,000 sqm hypermarket |
| Occupancy rate | 93% (Q2 2017/18: 93%) |
In association with CapMan Real Estate, TK Development has built a new 29,800 sqm shopping centre, BROEN Shopping, at Esbjerg Railway Station. The centre opened on 10 April 2017. TK Development's ownership interest is 35%.
93% of the total space has been let. Tenants include Kvickly, H&M, Fitness.dk, Bahne, Kings & Queens, Esprit, Monki, Imerco, Sportmaster, Gina Tricot, Café Vivaldi, Nielsens and Deichmann.
BROEN Shopping attracted a large number of visitors for its opening ceremony on 10 April 2017. The footfall is expected to be some 2.8 million in the first year of operation and to increase during the running-in period which every new centre goes through. For a new centre, BROEN Shopping is generating satisfactory revenue, and revenue is expected to grow in the years ahead.
The Esprit and Monki chains have both opened shops after the balance sheet date - their only shops in this region.
A lease agreement has been concluded with Nordisk Film Cinemas for the establishment of an eight-screen cinema in connection with the centre. The cinema is expected to open in spring 2019, and construction commenced after the balance sheet date. The cinema will strengthen the centre's leisure profile and position BROEN Shopping as a preferred destination of visitors from Esbjerg and the surrounding region.
| Opening | March 2010 |
|---|---|
| Leasable area | 26,400 sqm, including about 4,000 sqm of supermarket units |
| Occupancy rate | 92% (Q2 2017/18: 91%) |
| Footfall 2016 | 3.4 million |
Planned operational measures:
As an important step towards increasing customer flows and growing Sillebroen's revenue, an agreement was made with Nordisk Film Cinemas on the establishment of a 1,400 sqm cinema in the centre, and the new cinema opened in August 2016. The positive effect of the cinema opening is an important contribution to the ongoing optimisation of the tenant mix.
The centre's tenant mix improved considerably in 2016 despite the closing of the Fona store as, in addition to the new Nordisk Film cinema, Imerco, Søstrene Grene and Normal opened outlets in the centre. Fakta closed its supermarket at the beginning of 2017. The footfall index for 2017 to date is 93 relative to the same period of 2016, and the revenue index is 93, reflecting the shutdown of the Fona and Fakta stores.
A lease has been signed with Fitness.dk, which opened a fitness centre in October 2017. Management believes this addition will help attract more customers and strengthen the centre's position as a preferred shopping destination for the area's consumers.
In spite of these measures, operational results are generally not satisfactory, and both footfall and revenue need to be strengthened further to improve the operational performance. It will take longer than previously assumed and longer than desired to achieve a satisfactory operational performance. As described above, the value of the property has been written down by DKK 120 million with a view to accelerating its sale without any further maturing of the centre.
| Opening | October 2009 |
|---|---|
| Leasable area | 17,500 sqm, including a 5,000 sqm hypermarket |
| Occupancy rate | 97% (Q2 2017/18: 96%) |
| Footfall 2016 | 2.1 million |
Planned operational measures:
Having been strongly affected for some time by a competing centre that opened in autumn 2013, Galeria Sandecja is once again rallying, although at a slower pace than previously expected. Various initiatives implemented in the past few years, including efforts to create a strong mix of tenants on the ground floor and upgrade the first floor, have helped stop the negative trend in revenue and footfall. The revenue index for 2017 to date is 112 relative to the same period of 2016, and the footfall index is 102.
In light of the improved situation, a letting strategy for the next year has been defined with initial focus on converting shortterm leases into ordinary leases with long non-terminable periods. This process is currently ongoing. At the same time, the centre's food court has been upgraded. The occupancy rate is 97%.
In spite of these measures, operational results are not yet satisfactory, and optimisation/improvement efforts are expected to continue for several years. As described above, the value of the property has been written down by DKK 100 million with a view to accelerating its sale without any further maturing of the centre.
| Opening | March 2008 |
|---|---|
| Leasable area | 13,200 sqm |
| Occupancy rate | 93% (Q2 2017/18: 94%) |
| Footfall 2016 | 1.6 million |
Planned operational measures:
Make preparations for contemplated expansion of the centre with a second phase.
The favourable trend of the past few years has continued into 2017, and the centre continues to grow in terms of both revenue and footfall. The footfall index for 2017 to date is 123 relative to the same period of 2016, and the revenue index is 114.
Continuous efforts are being made to optimise the tenant mix, and a number of new tenants opened outlets in the centre in 2016. New outlets have also opened in 2017, including Schiesser, Lindt, Ecco, Betty Barclay, Kappa, Skechers, H&M, Lacoste and Moss Copenhagen. A few tenants have left to make way for stronger brands. The occupancy rate is 93%. At the same time, constructive dialogue is ongoing with several prospective tenants, and it is expected that an even stronger outlet centre will emerge in the course of the next year.
Ringsted Outlet is a 50/50 joint venture. The other 50% stake is owned by CapMan Real Estate. In the next few years, TK Development and CapMan Real Estate will continue to develop Ringsted Outlet and further explore the possibilities for expanding the centre.
Galeria Tarnovia and Galeria Nowy Rynek are owned through a joint venture with Heitman, and TK Development's ownership interest is 30%.
| Opening | November 2009 |
|---|---|
| Leasable area | 17,000 sqm, including a 2,000 sqm supermarket |
| Occupancy rate | 93% (Q2 2017/18: 93%) |
| Footfall 2016 | 1.8 million |
Planned operational measures:
Boost the occupancy rate.
Galeria Tarnovia is faced with a strong competitive environment in Tarnów. In an effort to upgrade the centre and bolster its competitive position, the tenant composition has been changed, which has helped increase the footfall. In addition, a cinema opened in December 2016, and several new tenants moved in, improving both revenue and footfall relative to 2015.
The favourable development has continued into 2017 with the cinema as the main contributor. The revenue index for 2017 to date is 118 relative to the same period of 2016, and the footfall index is 115.
Nevertheless, operational results are not yet satisfactory, and efforts are ongoing to improve the operational performance.
The loan agreements relating to the financing of the centre contain a number of covenants to be met at specific intervals in order for the loans to be upheld. In order for the agreed covenants to be met also going forward, the occupancy rate needs to increase even further.
| Opening | October 2015 |
|---|---|
| Leasable area | 24,800 sqm, including a 2,400 sqm supermarket |
| Occupancy rate | 93% (Q2 2017/18: 93%) |
| Footfall 2016 | 3.7 million |
Planned operational measures:
Optimise the tenant mix.
Launch strong marketing and image building campaigns.
Since the centre opened in October 2015, efforts have been ongoing to optimise the tenant mix by replacing weak tenants with more robust tenants/concepts. The revenue index for 2017 to date is 113 relative to the same period of 2016, and the footfall index is 117. Nevertheless, operational results are generally too weak and thus unsatisfactory to the Group.
The main focus is on growing revenue by strengthening the centre's appeal. This can be achieved by means of strong marketing and image-building campaigns to raise customer awareness of the centre and by continuing to replace weak tenants with new and stronger concepts.
The overall performance of these two centres is not satisfactory. Maturing and optimising the centres will likely take longer than previously expected, causing their sale to be delayed or to be quick but at a lower price than expected. A postponed sale of the centres will mean that TK Development will have to pay a larger than expected advance return to the joint venture partner. TK Development recognised an impairment loss of DKK 26 million on the investment in financial year 2016/17 and has now written down its value by an additional DKK 65 million.
In addition to completed properties, the Group's asset management activities comprise land and development projects in markets where the Group wishes to eventually discontinue its activities.
Amounting to DKK 346.3 million at 31 October 2017, these plots of land and development projects consist of:
The Company's project in Russia has been sold to a private investor, and TK Development has thus exited the Russian market altogether.
In Warsaw, TK Development is developing a residential project of owner-occupied units totalling about 51,000 sqm. The project is being built in four phases, and the first two phases, totalling 22,700 sqm, have been completed and for the most part sold and handed over to private users.
The third phase comprises about 15,650 sqm and consists of 263 residential units and service facilities. Construction commenced in June 2016 with completion of the residential units scheduled for spring 2018. The construction and the pre-completion sale are progressing satisfactorily. 81% (Q2 2017/18: 68%) of the units have been sold.
The fourth phase will comprise about 12,500 sqm and consist of 227 residential units and service facilities. The pre-completion sale has begun, and 20% of the units have been reserved in advance. Construction commenced after the balance sheet date with completion of the residential units scheduled for autumn 2019.
As part of the termination of the Group's Czech activities and in order to optimise values, the Board of Directors has, as previously announced, decided to develop and complete the Outlet Arena Moravia development project in Ostrava. The outlet centre will comprise about 17,000 sqm to be built in two phases, with the initial phase covering about 11,700 sqm. Building permits for all parts of the project have been obtained, and construction of the initial phase commenced after the balance sheet date. The initial phase consists of some 70 shops, and binding leases have been signed for more than half the space. The project has been sold under a conditional sale agreement to CPI Property Group, a major international property group with properties in more than 11 countries. The initial phase is expected to be handed over to the investor in late 2018.
In Vilnius, Lithuania, the final phase, comprising 4,550 sqm, of an 11,300 sqm retail park has been completed, and tenants are currently taking possession of their premises. The project has been sold to a fund managed by Baltic Horizon Fund. This final phase of the project is expected to be handed over to the investor by end-January 2018, after which TK Development will have exited the Lithuanian market altogether.
The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have today considered and approved the interim report of TK Development A/S for the nine months ended 31 October 2017.
The interim report, which has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies.
In our opinion, the interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 31 October 2017 and of the results of the Group's operations and cash flows for the nine months ended 31 October 2017.
Furthermore, in our opinion, the management commentary includes a fair review of the development in the Group's operations and financial matters, the results for the period and the Group's financial position in general as well as a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group.

The figures in the cash flow statement cannot be inferred from the consolidated financial statements alone.
The Interim Report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.
No interim financial statements have been prepared for the Parent Company. The Interim Report is presented in DKK, which is the presentation currency for the Group's activities and the functional currency of the Parent Company. The Interim Report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditor.
With effect from 1 February 2017, TK Development has implemented the new and amended standards that are effective for financial years starting on or after 1 February 2017. The implementation of new and amended standards has not resulted in any changes in accounting policies.
The accounting policies applied in the interim financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for 2016/17, which are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. For a detailed description of the accounting policies applied, reference is made to TK Development's annual report for 2016/17.
In connection with the annual report for 2016/17, income from investments in joint ventures was reclassified to operating profit or loss. As a consequence, the presentation of cash flows concerning joint ventures was changed. Such cash flows are now included in cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities based on a specific assessment of the actual circumstances in each joint venture. Comparative figures for Q1-Q3 2016/17 in both the income statement and the cash flow statement have been restated accordingly.
In preparing the interim report, Management makes a number of accounting estimates and judgments that will significantly affect the interim financial statements, in particular in relation to the measurement of the Group's projects in progress and completed projects and the Group's deferred tax assets. The most significant uncertainties are the same as at the time of preparation of the annual report for 2016/17.
The results of operations for the nine months ended 31 October 2017 were affected by impairment losses totalling DKK 405.4 million. These impairment losses were triggered by the Board of Directors' decision to terminate the Group's Polish activities within a period of two years and to accelerate the sale and termination of the Group's overall asset management activities.
The impairment losses were recognised as follows:
Shopping in Frederikssund, Denmark. The process of maturing and optimising these centres has not been satisfactory, and the Board of Directors notes that it has not been possible to mature the assets as quickly as hoped. There is still maturing potential, but it is expected to take longer than previously assumed to realise selling prices in line with original expectations. Based on the Group's future focus on its property development business and given the current economic climate, tying up capital in asset management activities for a longer period is not considered attractive. Accordingly, the assets will be divested as soon as possible.
The carrying amount of completed properties in operation within the asset management segment at 31 October 2017 is DKK 898 million. The carrying amount of land and development projects within the asset management segment at 31 October 2017 is DKK 346.3 million.
The carrying amount of the Group's total project portfolio, projects in progress and completed projects, at 31 October 2017 is DKK 1,923.5 million. Accumulated impairment losses at 31 October 2017 are DKK 562.9 million, and the carrying amount of projects in progress and completed projects written down to expected net realisable value is DKK 1,134.9 million, of which DKK 1,113.9 million relates to assets under management.
TK Development's internal reporting is divided into property development and asset management activities. The segmentation was adjusted in Q3 2017/18 as a result of the Board of Directors' decision to divest the Group's Polish activities, and all the Group's Polish activities have been transferred to the asset management segment effective 31 October 2017. At the same time, the previously non-allocated balance sheet items, primarily tax, have been transferred to the individual segments. The comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
Through to 31 October 2017 (profit/loss), property development comprised real property development in Denmark, Sweden and Poland, while from 31 October 2017 (balance sheet), the segment only comprises real property development in Denmark and Sweden.
Through to 31 October 2017 (profit/loss), asset management comprised the Group's completed properties and investment properties in operation in all the Group's markets, excluding BROEN Shopping, as well as land and development projects in markets where the Group wishes to eventually discontinue its activities. Effective 31 October 2017 (balance sheet), asset management comprises all activities outside Denmark and Sweden as well as completed properties in operation in Denmark.
Effective 31 October 2017, the Group's net investment in BROEN Shopping has been transferred from property development to asset management as the project has been completed and is in operation. As the transfer was made as a result of a change in project stage – from a project under development to a completed property in operation, the comparative figures have not been restated.
