Financial information

(all following numbers are in USD)

Highlights

  • The company had a total comprehensive loss of -2.3 million in Q1, compared with a profit of 0.9 million for the same period in 2014.
  • Investment Property in Russia is adjusted downwards by 5.6 million USD in Q1 in accordance with vaulations from independent valuer, Cushman & Wakefield.
  • Revenues from investment properties in Russia were 2.7 million for the quarter (2014: 3.2 million). Over the last year there has been agreed reductions in rent level to anchor tenants in both the Gasfield building in Moscow and Grifon House in St Petersburg.
  • Operating expenses in Russia are largely in Russian roubles, which measured in US dollar is reduced after the depreciation of the rouble in 2014. Property related costs were 0.4 million in Q1 2015 compared to 0.7 million in the same period last year.
  • Net Operating Income from the investment properties was 2.3 million in the quarter (2014: 2.5 million).
  • The share price in TK Development A/S increased in Q1 and brought an valuation gain of 3.2 million USD. The position is, however, not currency hedged. The Danish krone fell 13.3% against US dollar in the quarter which resulted in a currency loss of 2.1 million in the quarter.
  • From investments in bonds and funds there was a value reduction of 0.2 million for the quarter (2014: +0.6 million).
  • Borrowing costs were 0.8 million for the quarter (2014: 0.7 million). Of this, 0.53 million was loan interest (2014: 0.46 million) and 0.23 million in net payable interest on interest rate swap agreements (2014: 0.23 million).
  • There is a negative tax expense (tax income) of 1.5 million in the period (2014: tax expense of 1.5 million). This is largely related to reversal of deferred tax on value reduction of investment property in Russia.

Accounting for value change on investment property:

In accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS) the movement in value of investment property are split over two separate posts, explained by the following: Our Russian subsidiaries which own the buildings have Russian roubles as functional currency. According to IFRS, only the part of the fair value adjustment which can be attributed to RUB is presented over the Income Statement. The effect of currency exchange movements between RUB and USD is presented as Other Comprehensive Income and is included in term Total Comprehensive Income. We perceive Total Comprehensive Income as the most relevant measure of the company's profit. In every quarter we present an explanatory statement of the fair value adjustment:

Change in value, mill USD Q1 2015 Q1 2014
Over Income statement -5.0 +5.4
Translation Difference over
Other Comprehensive Income
-0.6 -7.3
Sum Value Adjusted Properties -5.6 -1.9

Balance sheet

  • Investment properties are recorded at 64.7 million in accordance with valuations obtained from independent valuer, Cushman & Wakefield.
  • On the closing date, the company has 15.6 million investment in TK Development A/S, classified as a longterm investment. In addition, the company has 6.4 million in short term investments in bonds and funds. Cash and cash equivalents were 7.5 million.
  • The group has made provision for 8.5 million in deferred taxes. This is largely related to value adjustments on investment properties in Russia after the aquisistion date, and measured in local currency. Deferred tax could become payable on a potential realization of the buildings, while a potential realization of shares in the property owned subsidiaries could result in lower tax or no taxes.
  • NAV per share in NOK at 31 March 2015 is 16.10 kr.
  • The company's is considered higher than before following the company's exposure to Russia. The business risks are otherwise roughly the same as those described in the company's annual report for 2014.
