FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016 3
2016 was a positive year when, apart from financial key ratios, we also performed positively on many fronts. Balder invests in several countries, property categories and projects and through complete- and part-ownership.
Profit from property management per ordinary share increased by 22 % during the year to SEK 11.89. The equivalent result for the fourth quarter was SEK 3.39 per ordinary share, an increase of 28 % compared to the same period last year.
Net asset value per ordinary share increased by 25 % during the year and amounted to SEK 198.45.
Current earning capacity per ordinary share increased by 27 % from SEK 10.64 to SEK 13.52.
In Collector, our largest associated company in terms of value, earnings per share increased by 34 % and equity per share increased by 41 %.
We can thus state that 2016 was a year of great improvements in key ratios per share in both Balder and Collector.
For the long-term shareholder, it is most important to have a belief about how future earnings will develop over time (obvious don't you think?) and after that an opinion about the present value of future earnings (so-called discounting factor). However, small changes in these two key ratios, have a large effect on value and both Balder and Collector were examples of this during 2016.
Balder's share price fell by 12 % during the year even though key ratios per share improved by about 25 %, in other words, the share price should have been about 40 % higher on 31 December 2016 if the estimates for earnings and present value were equivalent to 31 December 2015.
In Collector, the value of the share was 19 % lower despite almost 40 % better key ratios per share. Using the same estimates as the previous year-end, the share price should therefore have been about 70 % higher.
The fact that stock market expectations can vary so much creates opportunities for both the short-term and long-term investor and I personally think it is fascinating, interesting and fun to

follow the changes over the years. Operationally
Apart from financial key ratios, 2016 was a year when we also performed positively on many fronts. Balder invests in several countries, property categories and projects and also through complete- and part-ownership. I personally believe that all parts of the company improved during 2016 and this is also generating more business opportunities.
It's a privilege for me to be able to work with all of you!
It is likely that 2017 will also be a year with strong demand for both commercial premises and residential properties in our markets.

total assets ratio (max. 55 %). These key ratios are obviously much alike, but the net debt to total assets key ratio is increasingly used, which means that it is good to clarify our goal for this key ratio.
The future is bright and despite intense competition among investors, I feel optimistic as usual regarding the potential to find reasonably good investments over time.

FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016 5
The current housing shortage shows the challenge for companies like Balder in collaboration with the relevant municipalities to more rapidly start construction of housing projects.
The Swedish population is growing rapidly and with it the housing shortage. We now have more than 10 million inhabitants in our rectangular country. The increase has occurred quickly in recent years. Average life expectancy is increasing by 3.5 hours per day and this is an effect of the fact that more people are living longer. The number of new arrivals has increased in recent years and their families are coming with them.
Cities and metropolitan areas in particular are drawing and attracting people with their large choice. They offer jobs, a great variety of entertainment, places to see and shops to visit. What is lacking is good access to housing.
Young people who want to move from home, students who have obtained a desirable place in education, new arrivals who finally received their residence permit, older people who want to leave their house and move into a smaller centrally-located apartment − everyone is looking for apartments.
The current housing shortage shows
6 FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016
the challenge for companies like Balder, in collaboration with the relevant municipalities, to more rapidly start the construction of housing projects either in new areas or as additional housing in existing areas.
Housing demand is naturally greatest in growth regions such as Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and surrounding municipalities. It is a challenge for Balder to find opportunities, produce plan decisions and build new housing for both younger and older people.
However, in many municipalities, the planning process needs to be accelerated and made more flexible. It takes far too long to start a construction project. Perhaps municipal leaders should rely more on serious companies and use their willingness to help in a constructive way.
This would be an opportunity that must be embraced with a sensible strategy, strong commitment on the part of Balder, close collaboration with the relevant municipalities and competent partners. The company is prepared to take its responsibility to create more residential properties!
The owners' instruction to the company is to create value.
The duties of Balder's Board of Directors include working on the Group's long-term development, follow up of the management's operational activities and to assure order and clarity in the company.
The duties of the Board also include advancing the work on sustainable development, in other words questions relating to ethics, diversity and the environment. Another important area is risk assessment in relation to demand, vacancies, the interest trend etc.
Balder has skilled and dedicated employees that implement the management's intentions efficiently in the day-to-day operations, and in the important meeting with tenants and partners. Combined with a management that skillfully makes the right deals at the right time, this guarantees that Balder will also continue to be a strong player in the property market.

FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016 7
A lot can happen in 11 years
We have competed a very exciting journey since the start in 2005. Our hope is that the coming years will be at least as exciting, educational and eventful.
Concurrently with Balder's listing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, organisations were built up in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.
Apart from investing in six wind power turbines, Balder acquired all of Din Bostad Sverige AB.
We acquired 25 retail properties from Catena AB for Fastighets AB Centur. 50 per cent of the shares were sold to PEAB and Fastighets AB Centur became one of our associated companies.
Balder acquired residential properties in central Copenhagen, in the Österbro housing district.
In the same year that Balder was established, the company acquired 21 properties. 8
Balder acquired 53 per cent of Sato, which means we are an owner of 23,000 apartments in Finland with a value of about SEK 26 billion.
Balder continued to broaden its property holdings in the Nordic region and acquired its first property in Norway. In Sweden, Balder acquired a portfolio of retail properties for SEK 4.2 billion from Anders Hedin Invest AB.
Balder acquired 14 hotel properties. Our 28 hotels make us one of Sweden's largest hotel property owners.
Balder acquired Bovista Invest AB, which brought the company 4,300 apartments with a value of about SEK 2 billion.
residential and commercial properties located in places that are growing and developing positively, based on local support.
Balder creates value for its owners, customers, employees and the community. Balder accomplishes this by:
Overall goals
Balder's operations are focused on growth, positive cash flows and increased profit from property management. Balder shall achieve a position in each region whereby the company is a natural partner for potential customers.
Balder's goal is to achieve a stable and good return on equity, while the equity/assets ratio over time shall not be less than 35 % and the interest coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.0 times and a net debt to total assets ratio of not more than 55 %.
The company establishes quantitative and qualitative operating goals based on Balder's strategy, overall goals and financial policy. These are set for both the short-term and long-term. The goals relate to financial targets as well as goals relating to the environment and customer/employee satisfaction.
Since Balder will prioritise growth, capital structure and liquidity over the next few years, the dividend for the ordinary share will be low or will not be declared at all. The dividend for the preference share amounts to SEK 20.00 per year.
earning capacity
The earning capacity is based on the property portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative expenses.
Balder presents its earning capacity on a 12-month basis in the table below. It is important to note that the current earning capacity should not be placed on a par with a forecast for the coming 12 months. For instance, the earning capacity contains no estimate of rental, vacancy, currency or interest rate changes.
Balder's income statement is also impacted by the development in the value of the property portfolio as well as by future property acquisitions and/or property divestments. Additional items affecting the operating result are changes in value of derivatives. None of these have been considered in the current earning capacity.
The earning capacity is based on the property portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative expenses. The costs of interest-bearing liabilities are based on the Group's average interest rate level including the effect of derivative instruments. The tax is calculated using the effective tax rate during each period.

Balder has two different Classes of shares quoted on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap; an ordinary Class B share and a preference share.
The company's overall market capitalisation as of 31 December amounted to SEK 36,371m (39,099) and the company had 22,000 shareholders (17,200) at year-end. Balder carried out a directed new issue of 3,000,633 ordinary Class B shares during September, which raised about SEK 681m after issue expenses. Subscribers in the issue were a large number of Swedish and foreign institutional investors. For existing ordinary shareholders, the issue implied a dilutive effect of 1.7 % of the capital. In late 2016, Balder also carried out a set-off
issue of 4,602,515 ordinary Class B shares, which raised about SEK 1,099m after issue expenses. The set-off issue was carried out in connection with the acquisition of all properties in the company I.A Hedin Fastighet AB from Anders Hedin Invest AB. The issue implied a dilutive effect of approx. 2.6 % of the capital for existing ordinary shareholders in Balder. Through the set-off issue, Anders Hedin Invest AB became one of the largest owners in Balder, with 2.6 % of the capital and 1.7 % of the number of votes. After the issues

and as of 31 December, the share capital in Balder amounted to SEK 190,000,000 distributed among 190,000,000 shares. Each share has a quota value of SEK 1.00, of which 11,229,432 shares are of Class A, 168,770,568 of Class B and 10,000,000 preference shares. Balder has no repurchased ordinary shares, which means that the total number of outstanding ordinary shares amounts to 180,000,000. Each Class A share carries one vote, and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote.
The price of the ordinary share was SEK 184.10 (208.70) at year-end, equivalent to a decrease in value of 12 % (+89) during the year. The increase since 1 January 2006 amounted to 1 200 %. At year-end, the number of ordinary shareholders amounted to 14,000 (9,300).

During the year, 90.2 million ordinary shares were traded, equivalent to 357,000 shares per trading day (270,000) or SEK 74m (40) based on the average price during the year. The turnover corresponds to an annual turnover rate of 52 % (42) and if Erik Selin Fastigheter AB's shares are excluded, the annual turnover exceeded 83 % (70) of the outstanding ordinary shares. The proportion of foreign-owned shares amounted to 20.0 % (22.1).
Equity per ordinary share (account associated companies to market value) amounted to SEK 157.63 (128.03) on 31 December, corresponding to an increase of 23 % (83) during the year. Net asset value per ordinary share (EPRA NAV) increased during the same period by 25 % (84) to SEK 198.49 (159.14). The difference between equity and net asset value is that in the net asset value, derivatives and the net of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are reversed. In the past 10 years, net asset value increased by an average of 34 % per year (35). The share price/net asset value ratio was 93 % (131) at year-end.
Profit from property management before tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK 2,265m (1,780), which corresponds to an increase of 27 % (40) compared to the previous year. In the past 10 years, profit from property management increased by an average of 32 % per year (33). Profit from property management per ordinary share increased by 22 % (46) and in the past 10 years the average increase was 23 % (23).
The price of the preference share was SEK 323.30 at year-end (312.00), corresponding to a total annual yield, including dividend, of 10.0 %. The number of shareholders amounted to about 9,300 (8,700) and 3.3 million shares were traded during the year (3.3), equivalent to just over 13,000 shares per trading day (13,000), corresponding to about SEK 4.2m (4.5), based on the average share price for the year. The annual turnover in the preference share corresponded to 33 % (33) of the total number of preference shares.
The preference share carries preferential right over the ordinary share to an annual dividend of SEK 20 with quarterly dividend of SEK 5. Record days for dividend are 10 January, 10 April, 10 July and 10 October.
If the dividend on the preference share is not paid in time or for a lower amount, the difference shall be added to amounts unpaid, including interest of 14 %.
Balder's goal is to generate the best total yield for its shareholders. We believe that we do this by reinvesting the profits in the operations in order to create further growth. For this reason, the dividend will remain low or will not be declared in the next few years. Balder will instead continue to grow by investing in existing properties, new construction and acquisition of new properties. The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend for the ordinary share should be paid for the 2016 financial year.
The principal owner in Fastighets AB Balder is Erik Selin Fastigheter AB, which holds 34.5 % of the capital and 48.2 % of the votes. Other large owners are Arvid Svensson Invest AB and Swedbank Robur fonder. At the end of 2016, the total number of shareholders amounted to about 22,000 (17,200). After the two issues carried out during 2016, 47 % (49) of the ordinary share capital is held by the Board and Management.

Balder's business areas consists of the regions Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Öresund, East and North and consists of 17 areas. In each region the property management is managed by own staff responsible for letting, operations, environment and maintenance. Balder's own management organisation enables fast decisions, proximity to the customer, good local knowledge and the opportunity to work on a long-term with property management. The company offers a wide range of commercial and residential premises in different locations with various rental levels.
Balder works actively to create and retain satisfied customers. We offer clear customer-oriented management with customer needs in focus. We conduct regular customer surveys in order to measure our Customer Satisfaction Index, (NKI).
During autumn 2016, Balder carried out its fourth CSI survey for Sweden in collaboration with AktivBo. The survey was sent out to half of the company's residential tenants and to all commercial tenants (approx. 9,000 tenants in total).
In all measurements carried out since 2011, Balder's customer satisfaction has improved steadily. This year's increase qualified us for the third time for a nomination for the sector's major CSI award "Kundkristallen". Our nomination was in the "Biggest boost in the service index" category for property companies with more than 9,000 apartments.
We use the results of our surveys as decision data in the organisation, which provides added value for customers, the company and society.
Balder's basic philosophy, long-term ownership, relationship-building management and local base, generated a very good response from our tenants. Despite Balder's geographical spread, there was only a difference of a few percentage
points between tenant answers.
Our tenants believe that Balder is very accessible and easy to reach. More than 90 % of our customers are very satisfied with accessibility by mail, telephone and with the possibility of a personal visit.
Staff are easy to recognise and Balder receives a particularly good result when it comes to customer treatment.
Waste management and the company's possibility to offer sorting of household waste continues to be something that is strongly requested by our tenants and where there is room for improvement.
Balder's efforts to improve information routines since the previous measurement delivered very good results and our tenants are very satisfied with the information from the company.
Customer service is an important function at Balder. Here we take care of the contact with customers so that possible defects and shortcomings can be discovered at an early stage.
Balder considers that the risk of a sudden deterioration in rental income is low due to its lease structure. Rental risk is reduced through a good division between commercial properties and residential properties as well as the geographical
spread. In order to offset reduced rental income and a weaker occupancy rate, the company strives for long-term relationships with its existing customers.
Balder's ten largest leases represent 5.6 % (6.1) of total rental income and the average lease term amounts to 11.8 years (11.1). No individual lease accounts for more than 0.8 % (0.9) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 4.0 % (2.7) of total rental income. The average lease term for the entire commercial portfolio amounted to 7.1 years (6.3).
The lease structure on 31 December 2016 is shown in the table, whereupon leases terminated on this date, where removal will or is expected to take place, are recognised as leases maturing within one year.

Organisation and employees
Balder's employees are characterised by a strong drive to develop in their work and an interest in working in an organisation, which stands for a long-term approach, an entrepreneurial spirit and fellow-feeling.
The company's rapid development, is due, among other things, to Balder's committed and knowledgeable employees who create results based on a team spirit and collaboration. We take advantage of each other's strengths and experience and launch new ideas for further development of both the operations and personnel. To be part of Balder imposes high demands but also provides excellent development opportunities. Balder has short decision-making paths and an open atmosphere and promotes respect and honesty.

Balder is in continual development. The company's project departments for new construction and conversions expanded during the year and contributed to the company's continued increase in personnel. The property management organisation, excluding Sato, on 31 December consisted of 334 (315) employees and is geographically divided into regions with local offices, which are responsible for letting, operations as well as the environment and property management. To support property management operations, group-wide resources are located in Malmö and also at the head office in Gothenburg. At year-end, 37 people (37) worked within these support functions, excluding Sato.
Balder is continuing to engage itself in the areas it operates in. We want to be an involved and responsible corporate citizen, which can contribute experience and resources. In all contexts, we work actively to ensure a safe and pleasant residential environment.

"I work as a Business & Project developer at Balder and am in charge of the group that works with Balder's project development and new production in the Gothenburg region. The most fun aspect of my job is to be part of developing Gothenburg. Creating new attractive city districts with housing for people to live their lives in and new buildings and premises for people to work and run their companies in.
The positive atmosphere at Balder and in the Group and the really excellent project portfolio means I have the best job in Gothenburg, if you like project development and I do.
Most things are possible at Balder and new deals and exciting projects ideas constantly turn up."
Erik Lavehall, Business & Project developer at Balder
Balder strives to be a long-term owner that takes responsibility by growing and developing in line with our sustainability work. Every day and in every process, we strive to improve our working methods and thereby reduce the environmental impact from our operations.
We also have the ambition to build a company that creates value for its owners, customers, employees and the community. Thus social responsibility is a natural part of Balder's day-to-day work.
Work, education and housing are three basic factors that improve people's sense of participation and inclusion in society. This in turn creates a positive value for the individual, for us as a property owner and for society in general. Therefore we are locally involved in our property areas. One example of how Balder's engagement has led to one of our important initiatives is the Bergsjön initiative.
Balder owns more than 800 apartments in the Bergsjön district of Gothenburg. Many residents in Bergsjön lack a business network and there is also high unemployment here. During 2014, Balder started the Bergsjön pool, an initiative where Balder employed young adults in the immediate surroundings in order to work with basic property maintenance. The project was successful and Balder employed a further 16 people during 2015. Through the work in the Bergsjön pool, many of the employees gained work experience and a reference to facilitate future job searches. Of the 16 people in the Bergsjön pool, nine people in 2016 went on to secure another job and two of them gained permanent employment with Balder. When the decision was taken to create the Bergsjön pool in 2016/2017, we asked ourselves how Balder could help more people in the area to enter the labour market. The answer was the Bergsjön initiative – which aims to make a network available as well as
contacts for working life.
The initiative will also make it easier for workers and employers to find each other.
Read more about the Bergsjön initiative at balder.se.
Balder strives to be a long-term owner that bases its operations on stable cash flows and satisfied customers. Therefore we impose demands on ourselves, but also on our business partners. Our operations should radiate honesty and trustworthiness. We should analyse our decisions carefully in order to stand over them and we should not obtain benefits through our position. We subject all major purchasing to competition and conduct central procurement processes to obtain better control over our suppliers and the entire sourcing chain. Handling our business relationships with trustworthiness and honesty is very important to us and also that our business partners respect and act in the same way towards us.
Balder is investing in new production
One of Balder's watchwords is sustainability. Therefore it is important for us to be involved in the entire chain from concept to finished project.
Balder is currently working actively with development of residential projects. One of our watchwords is sustainability and therefore we consider it important for Balder to monitor the entire chain from concept to finished project. Through great dedication and solid knowledge, Balder wants to create modern, attractive and good-value apartments in lively and safe residential areas. Our ambition is to be a long-term player in urban and property development in the Nordic region.
Balder's residential projects are mostly planned in areas where we currently own properties. Before start of construction, we conduct a dialogue with existing tenants, municipalities and nearby residents in order to find out what is perceived as positive and also less positive in the residential area. Are the footpaths in the area safe or is further lighting required along certain thoroughfares? Are there good communications at present? Are services in the area good? These are examples of questions we ask with the aim of improving the zoning plan and creating as safe and pleasant residential areas as possible.
Balder believes that diversity is important to create attractive and lively residential areas. Therefore we also aim to create better variation in our residential areas, both in terms of housing forms and new building design.
We want to create housing for more
people and we want our tenants to long for home.
Today there is a housing shortage in large areas of our country. Having your own home is not a given but at the same time is a requirement for living a secure and independent life. Thus new construction is something that Balder has very much at heart.
Balder wants to build homes for more people. Social engagement is a natural part of our work and a way to help promote sustainable social development. Every day and in every process, we aim to reduce our environmental impacts, from minor day-to-day ones to larger impacts in major projects. As far as possible, we should always choose the better environmental alternative without compromising on quality.
We are engaged in these issues both locally and regionally. In order to succeed with this, great commitment is required from our employees but we also collaborate with other players.
Balder's environmental
responsibility
Balder is committed to sustainable social development both locally and regionally and strives to ensure that people feel comfortable in and around its properties.
During the year, the government decided that all large companies need to prepare a sustainbility report, which should descibe the company's work relating to the environment, social conditions, personnel, human rights and anti-corruption. The requirements come from an EU directive, aimed at making sustainability work more transparent and comparable among different companies.
Fastighets AB Balder is included in the companies that will need to report sustainability starting from 2017. We will prepare our sustainability report as a combined part of our annual report.
We see great benefits in working strategically with ecological, economic and social sustainability work. Balder wants to contribute to a sustainable society through social engagement, a positive environmental trend and by being a stable economic player over time. Balder is committed to sustainable social development both locally and regionally and strives to ensure that people feel comfortable in and around its properties. To achieve this, commited employees are required but also that we collaborate with other social actors.
During 2016, Balder had a goal of reducing its energy consumption and the outcome was 1.8 % lower than 2015. We will intensify this work during 2017.
Balder's 10 wind turbines generated 24.2 million kWh which is 1,7 million kWh more than the previous year, equivalent to an increase of 8 %.
A small number of properties still have a heating system, which is partly based on fossil fuels. These systems are only put into operation when the regular heating
system is insufficient. Work on phasing out these systems is ongoing and other solutions will continue to be evaluated and implemented.
Fastighets AB Balder, according to the EU is defined as a large company and is thus subject to the EU's energy efficiency directive (2012/27/EU) and the Act on Energy Audits of Large Companies (2014:266). The property sector has been identified as one of the largest users of energy. Together with the services sector, the property sector accounts for about 40 % of Sweden's total energy usage.
In order to meet the requirements, Balder has chosen 65 properties and about 480,000 m2 where energy audits will be performed during 2017. The selection made was based on geographical position, type of building and on how representative the building is of the rest of Balder's portfolio. The properties are divided into 12 different categories. No properties built after 1995 were included in the selection as the energy reduction potential is small compared to what can be achieved in older properties. The energy audits will produce a report per property and will provide a basis for deciding what investments are appropriate and cost estimates for each measure. This will then be used as a basis for maintenance plans and for establishing goals and actions plans going forward.

Balder works actively to achieve a Good built environment, which is one of Sweden's 16 environmental goals. One of the indicators for reaching this goal relates to Radon management efforts. The Public Health Agency of Sweden has set a maximum threshold of 200 becquerel/m3 in apartments, schools, nursery schools and public buildings up to 2020. During the year, Balder started work on measuring large parts of the holdings. We are focusing on residential properties and premises for care facilities and education. During the winter months of 2016/2017, we will measure about 200 of our properties. Based on the measurement results, we will put together action plans for the properties where the reading is higher than 200 Bq/m3 .
During the year, Balder reduced its emissions by about 230 tonnes of carbon dioxide through waste recycling, which is equivalent to 460 charter trips by air between Sweden and Thailand. Balder's goal has been that the existing commericial property portfolio should have a sorting rate of > 55 %, which for 2016 came in at 74 %, which was an increase compared to the previous year (58 %).
During the autumn, we engaged a new contractor for waste management in our properties. With this change, all refuse rooms will be checked to make an inventory of what is there today and what improvement measures are possible. The hope is that all factions of household waste can be sorted in the properties. Furthermore, all displays in refuse rooms will be altered in connection with the change and information about the factions will be available in several languages.
As a property owner, Balder is responsible for ensuring that its properties maintain adequate fire protection according to Civil Protection Act (SFS 2003:778). Balder works systematically with fire protection. During spring 2016, we started our systematic fire protection work in the whole country, in respect of residential properties and commercial properties.
The work was initated after signing a nationwide agreement with a supplier, which has assumed responsibility for making a risk and fire protection inventory of all of Balder's properties in Sweden.
The work produced an action list for existing shortcomings and provided an overall view of the different fire protection installations in our properties.
The inventory-taking started in May 2016 and was compiled and completed in December 2016. In 2017, all information from this work will be used to update our internal property operation & maintenance programmes, where installations and inspections are managed and planned.
In order to achieve higher fire protection in our properties, an entirely new inspection round concept, focused against fire has started, and will be performed using our own personnel.
In order to keep these inspection rounds and the overall competencies of personnel at a high level, we trained all staff during the year that actively work in our properties in fire protection.
We have also produced a new fire protection policy and created a new fire protection organisation.
We enter 2017 with better control over fire protection in our properties and with that knowledge, we can create better operation & maintenance routines for our fire protection installations, resulting in improved personal protection for our tenants and for our properties generally.
Chalmersska huset has been a residential building and bank, meeting place and dining hall. The building is an important part of Gothenburg's history and Balder is happy to manage the part of the building that houses a magnificent bank vault.
Businessman and university founder William Chalmers was an important man for the city of Gothenburg. He was a gifted merchant who was interested in both knowledge and art. Towards the end of the 18th century, he accompanied the Swedish East India Company to China, which resulted in successful business trips and he also became a director of the company. In his will, he set aside funds to establish an apprentice training school in Gothenburg. A couple of years after his death, the Chalmers School of Arts and Crafts was founded today renamed
Chalmers University of Technology. A world-famous university that has educated many inventors, company leaders, architects and engineers over the years.
In 1805, William Chalmers started to construct a new residential property. The building was designed by the Gothenburg city architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg and was furnished with Swedish-made furniture and Chinese influences from the East India Company's trading trips.
The building is strategically positioned close to the port, on Södra Hamngatan 11. William Chalmers moved into his building in 1808, but he only managed to live there for 3 years before he passed away in 1811.
Many famous Gothenburgers have lived in the building since then. Among other people, the industrialist David Carnegie used the building as a warehouse, office and as a residence for employees. Carnegie's partner Oscar Ekman moved into the building in 1849 and with short interruptions the Ekman family lived in
"During the second half of the 19th century Gothenburgers acquired their most valuable possessions in the Chalmersska huset's bank vault. Even today, you can sense the vault's importance and history, it makes the property even more exciting to manage and preserve."
Erik Selin, Chief Executive Officer, Balder
On 1 April 1864, Oscar Ekman with business partners opened a bank in the Chalmersska huset. They called their company Skandinaviska Kreditaktiebolaget and later bought the adjacent building in order to construct Gothenburg's first public bank vault. Here the public could rent a compartment to store their savings and articles of great value, which was an appreciated modern innovation. In 1980, Chalmersska huset was declared a listed building by the County Administrative Board and in 2006, SEB bequested the building to Chalmers University of Technology.
Today the remaining part of the building is owned by Chalmers Fastigheter and the building serves as a meeting place for conferences, seminars, workshops, entertainment, lunches and dinners. Here Nobel Laureates receive a dignified welcome, doctor's degrees are conferred and board meetings and banquets are held.
A guided tour of the building provides an idea of the splendour that is still apparent. Dining rooms and lounges are decorated in a spirit characteristic of the period and paintings from famous artists hang on the walls.
Skandinaviska Kreditaktiebolaget moved from Chalmersska huset to the Antikhallarna premises in 1882. Balder has managed the bank vault since 2014 and we are very proud to look after such a distinguished building. In collaboration with Chalmers Fastigheter, which manages the remaining part of the building, we ensure the preservation of part of Gothenburg's history.

The low interest environment is continuing and the gap between property yields and the lending rate means that the investment climate for properties is still extremely favourable and we continue to see a strong performance in the Swedish property market.
2016 will go down in history as a record year in the Swedish property market. Record-low interest rates have meant a favourable climate for property investments.
The low interest rate situation and the opportunities for returns offered by property investments, relative to other asset classes, have meant that capital has flowed into the property segment. The transaction volume totalled a record SEK 218 billion (transactions >SEK 10m) and the proportion accounted for by Swedish investors alone exceeded the
total volume during the previous record year of 2006.
New tax rules for disposal of shares in subsidiaries and packaging of properties as well as stamp duty and transaction tax can mean that transaction volume will be lower in 2017 than 2016. Information about new legislation is expected to be presented during March 2017.
According to MSCI/IDP Swedish Property index, the total yield on property investments amounted to about 13.9 % during 2016. The change in value increased from 8.7 % during 2015 to 9.1 % while the yield showed the lowest level since 1990 and amounted to 4.4 %. The highest total yield was shown by offices at 16 %. The total yield for residential decreased and amounted to 11.9 %. Direct investments in properties generally continued to display a higher yield than the stock market during 2016, 13.9 % compared to 9.6 % according to SIXRX.
All in all, we can now sum up seven good years in the Swedish property market with falling yield requirements and positive changes in value.
In the residential segment, which has been the dominant investment class in the Swedish property market, the price trend in the private residential market has been positive since 1996 and the total yield for residential apartment buildings, with the exception of 2008, since 1993. Risk capital has increased noticeably, which is seen in the way that "million programme" properties, despite significant maintenance needs, represent attractive investment objects in submarkets with strong population growth and low rental risk. This is also seen in a number of large transactions in smaller submarkets.
Institutional players are large investors in the property market and in recent years have increased their properties holdings both in Sweden and in other markets. The largest players in the Swedish property market mainly include insurance companies and pension funds and in particular the Swedish National Pension Funds.
Several players have chosen to diversify their operations with investments in property development and new apartment production. Pressed yield requirements together with a positive development in the rental market, with low vacancies in metropolitan areas on the office side and a housing shortage in most Swedish municipalities, means that investments in new production have become even more attractive.
2017 looks like it will be another strong year for the property market. A shortage of modern efficient offices will maintain rents at a high level. The housing shortage means strong cash flows and low vacancy rates on the residential side and a continued low interest environment means that properties will continue to be attractive for Swedish and foreign investors.

Demand for investment properties in Denmark continues to display a rising trend from both foreign and domestic investors. Denmark with a good economy, high population increase, low interest rates and a pegged exchange rate to the Euro is a stable market from an investment perspective. In addition, lenders have increased their willingness to provide financing for property transactions, which is an important driver of the trend.
The most attractive investment areas are residential properties in Greater Copenhagen, Århus and Ålborg and office properties in central parts of Copenhagen.
High price increases, especially for residential properties in Copenhagen have meant that many investors see the potential in new construction. Older office properties with historically high vacancy rates have begun to be converted into modern residential properties. New residential areas are emerging, including in Örestad, Amager and Nordhavn.
The total transaction volume is estimated to amount to DKK 64 billion during 2016 compared to DKK 51 billion in 2015, i.e. an increase of 25 %. The Copenhagen region accounted for appox. 77 % of the total volume. The buyers were mainly foreign investors along with Danish pension funds.
The strong residential market for con-
dominiums continued in 2016. Prices in the entire country rose by 7.4 % during 2016 compared to 2015. In Copenhagen, prices rose by 7.5 – 8.8 % during 2016. This means a total price increase of about 10 % compared to 2006, which was the previous record year for prices.
The residential transaction volume fell by 5 % during 2016. This may be explained by the fact that 2015 was a year with an unusually large increase in transaction volume, 23 % in total.
Copenhagen like previous years, is the most attractive for investors.
With a population increase in Denmark of about 4 % over the coming five years, favourable transaction conditions and low vacancy rates, the apartment market will remain positive in 2017, particularly in Copenhagen and other big cities
In Copenhagen alone, the city expects a population increase of 14 % until 2025.
In view of the low level of housing construction from the crisis year 2008 until 2013, a severe imbalance prevails between supply and demand of apartments. New production of apartments did not gain momentum until 2015 and 2016.
During 2016, the number of completed apartments was estimated at 4,100 units. This is equivalent to almost the same number of apartments completed during the period 2009-2013.
In Copenhagen, it is expected that 45,000 apartments will be built during the coming 10-year period. The estimated need is 60,000 new apartments.

The rental market is recovering slowly based on factors such as good economic growth, low interest rate situation and a slow increase in the employment rate.
The vacancy rate for unlet offices in Copenhagen inner city is around 8 % and up to around 11 % in greater Copenhagen. Office properties, with the right geographical location, close to communications, modern functional premises, are highly sought after and this is leading to higher rental rates and property values. Vacancies are mainly found in old office properties, which have not been renovated or converted.
Office rents were stable during 2016 and prime rents tend to lie around 1,600 – 1,950 DKK/sq. m., excluding property tax and operating costs.
The yield requirement for offices in A locations is around 4 %, which is lower than ever and reflects the current imbalance between supply and demand of attractive office properties.
The transaction volume in Finland broke all records in 2016 and amounted to EUR 7.1 billion. The volume was about 40 % higher than in 2015.
The investment market for residential properties is continuing to attract domes tic and foreign buyers. The transaction volume for residential properties rose from 23 % to 38 % of total volume.
Investors include domestic pension funds and institutions and foreign players, particularly from other Nordic countries, the UK and Germany.
Some brighter signals were noted in Finland's economy during 2016. Turnover in industry, exports and GDP all increased. During 2016, GDP growth was 1.6 %.
The prices of apartments and rents have increased in recent years. It is mainly de mand for smaller good value apartments that has increased because there is a large proportion of households with one of two persons in the bigger cities.
Many property companies and investors, are also focusing on new apartment production.
During 2016, residential property prices increased by 5 % according to KTI Finland.
Even though growth in Finland has now started to recover compared to previous years, the rental market for office pro perties is still challenging. Old-fashioned premises and properties in secondary locations face the risk of even higher va cancy rates and lower rents while rents in attractive areas have returned to the level they were at before the previous year's downturn.
The investment market for attractive and central office properties is expected to also remain strong in the coming years. Low interest rates and a slowly improving economy in Finland means that investors view the Finnish property market as attrac tice, and also since yield levels are slightly higher than in the other Nordic countries.
The yield levels for modern centrallylocated office properties in Helsinki mainly lie in the range 4.0 – 5.0 %.
Balder is continuing to grow and develop. The most important explanations for Balder's positive development include all the property acquisitions, investments and not least the entire Balder organisation, which manages the investments in the best way. Together with our shareholders, financiers, customers, suppliers and society at large, we look forward to good business opportunities for many years to come.

FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016 31
The market for Swedish residential properties is still very strong and demand for this property class continues to increase.
The market for Swedish residential properties is still very strong and demand for this property class continues to increase. There is currently a housing shortage in many Swedish municipalities and together with the low rate of new apartment production this means that the shortage will persist for a long time in many places. Balder owns apartments in 40 Swedish municipalities and vacancy rates are very low in the entire residential portfolio. For more information about Balder's Finnish and Danish residential properties, see sato.fi and balder.dk
During the year, 21 residential properties were acquired, through the associated company Trenum AB, with about 1,200 apartments located in Stockholm and in the Öresund region. In Malmö, collaboration was initiated with several players as part of the Culture Casbah project. MKB Fastighets AB, Balder, Heimstaden and Victoria Park have formed a joint enterprise, which acquired 1,650 existing apartments in the immediate surroundings, and will be responsible for new production of 200 apartments and 30 business premises and a new landmark 22 -floor tower.
Balder sold all its residential properties during the year in Skara, Töreboda and in Jönköping. This was part of a refinement of the residential portfolio.
A more detailed description of the transactions is available on pages 36-38.
In several of our residential locations,
work is ongoing with planning of new production of rental apartments as well as tenant-owner's apartments. The most large-scale investments are in Copenhagen and Helsinki and mainly relate to condominiums, which are let. The fact that the apartments are condominiums means that they may be sold separately. However, Balder has not sold any apartments in Copenhagen but will opt to rent them out to create a portfolio of residential properties in the city. There are currently about 1,400 apartments under construction in Copenhagen and about 1,300 apartments in Helsinki. The total project value amounts to about SEK 8.0 billion. The apartments will be completed between 2017 and 2018. In the Gothenburg region, Balder has an extensive project portfolio and its first project is 134 rental apart-
ments in Kungälv, which are expected to be completed in 2018. In the coming years, the production rate is expected to increase significantly, see also page 44.
For development and refinement of the existing holdings, Balder works with a standardised concept called HOME. The apartments in the HOME concept are upgraded and converted. Material and design are top class and are produced for long-term, economic and environmental sustainability. We work in a structured way with sourcing of material and continually sign framework agreements with contractors in all cities where Balder operates. Demand for Balder's HOME apartments is very strong and the upgrades will continue in all areas in the coming years.
The management of Balder's properties is handled by our own personnel, which gives key proximity to the customer. Regular customer surveys are carried out to continually monitor customer needs and expectations. In most of Balder's residential areas, property management is accessible for the customer via their own residential office.
Estimated and recorded yield values and price levels for residential properties in A locations were as follows:
| Place | Yield, % | Price per sq.m., SEK |
|---|---|---|
| Stockholm | 1.20 – 1.40 55,000 – 70,000 | |

The property market continues to display a strong trend and parameters such as rising rental rates, decreased vacancies and low interest rates make us confident about the future.
The property market is still interesting for investors and most of Sweden's large property companies are continuing to grow. Yield requirements have fallen further. Good opportunities for access to capital and a good willingness to invest are creating strong demand for properties in all locations, particularly in metropolitan areas. A continued low interest rate level with an expected negative repo rate until late 2018, have meant that the market
for commercial properties in Sweden also remained very strong in 2016.
The trend of rising rental rates in Stockholm and Gothenburg is continuing at the same rate as recent years. In the rental market, there are many more serious inquiries for rentals in previous secondary locations around Stockholm and Gothenburg. Even in this respect, the markets
in the country's two largest cities also show similarities. The supply of vacant premises decreased further in central locations, particularly smaller premises, which are often occupied the same day as they are vacated. The market in the country's two biggest cities also shows largely the same pattern when it comes to new construction of commercial space. Few new projects will start until 2019.
For Balder, there was an increase in demand for premises in Malmö City during 2016. In recent years, which among other things saw new construction of major new commercial areas in Hyllie and Västra Hamnen where many tenants moved, some tenants are now once again trying to establish a presence in Malmö City. For Balder, the number of viewings for prospective tenants has more than doubled compared to the previous year.
Balder's letting organisation focused during the year on developing the strategic letting work, which has delivered results. Part of this work involved establishing a new central function "Strategic Letting" in order to carry out targeted efforts and to understand what in our work is of value from a letting standpoint and what areas need improvement. During 2016, about 50 % of Balder's inquiries came from existing tenants who recommended Balder or via spontaneous
questions from Balder employees. In other words, we are good at asking spontaneous questions at all meetings in order to identify potential interested parties.
During the year, two acquisitions of hotel properties were made. The total number of hotel contracts amounts to 33 and the portfolio now includes about 5,400 rooms in total. During 2017, a new hotel will be ready in one of the most distinguished buildings in central Copenhagen. Business travel, the conference market and the tourist trade have grown strongly in the Nordic region. Over the past ten years, the number of hotel nights increased by about 40 % in Sweden. This has also contributed to increasing market interest in owning hotel properties.
A more detailed description of Balder's transactions is available on pages 36-38.
Estimated and recorded yield values and price levels for residential properties in A locations were as follows:

| Stockholm | 3.50 – 3.75 90,000 – 110,000 | |

During 2016, Balder continued to broaden its property holdings in the Nordic region and acquired its first property in Norway. In Sweden, a portfolio of retail properties was acquired from Anders Hedin Invest AB. Divestments of properties in smaller cities continued.
The transaction market in Sweden remained strong during the past year and property prices continued to rise. Balder has continued to broaden its property holdings in the other Nordic countries and acquired a property in Norway during the year. On 31 December, Balder had 47 % of its property value outside Sweden.
Balder's strategy is to own centrally-located commercial properties in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. Balder's strategy is also to create long-term relationships with strong tenants. During the year, all properties were acquired from Anders Hedin Invest AB, where Hedin Bil entered into 12-year leases. The property portfolio, which was acquired from Anders Hedin Invest AB consists of retail properties with a property value of SEK 4,208m after a number of ongoing new constructions and conversions have been completed. Most of the property value is located in Stockholm and Gothenburg and the remainder is in Malmö, Helsingborg, Jönköping, Linköping, and Uppsala, among other places. The lettable area amounts to about 290,000 sq.m. and the properties are fully let, primarily to the Hedin Bil group on triple net agreements. The initial rental income amounts to SEK 276m on an annual basis.
In Norway, Hedmark University of Applied Sciences was acquired during the year, where the Norwegian state is the dominant tenant with a lease that has a remaining term of 24 years. The property is located in Elverum about 150 km north of Oslo. The building was completed in 2010 and today the University has more than 8,000 students. During the last years, Balder has investigated the possiblity of acquiring properties in Norway and now hope this will be the first step towards becoming a significant property owner in all Nordic countries. In Finland, 3,307 apartments were acquired by our Finnish subsidiary Sato. The acquisitions were mainly carried out in three different transactions. The majority of the apartments are located in Helsinki.
In 2016, Balder continued to divest properties in the suburbs of metropolitan areas and in smaller cities, where it is not considered possible to achieve a sufficiently large management unit. This is in line with Balder's strategy to own commercial properties in the central parts of the big cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö as well as residential properties in metropolitan areas and in places that are growing and developing positively. Consequently, Balder sold all its residential properties during the year in Jönköping, Huskvarna, Töreboda and Skara. In Finland, 1,267 apartments were sold for a sales value of EUR 67.7m. The divested properties are not in Sato's focus areas.
During 2016, Balder sold properties for a total sales value of SEK 1,990m. The divestments carried out generated a profit of SEK 85m, equivalent to a selling price of 5 % above the carrying amount.

Sato invested EUR 572m during 2016 in apartments, both through acquisitions and completion of new construction projects.
Balder owns 53.8 % of Sato Oyj, which means that the entire company is consolidated in Balder's income statement and balance sheet. Sato is Finland's second largest property company with apartments in focus and on 31 December it owned a total of 25,344 (23,551) apartments.
The number of apartments increased during the year by 1,793 units. In total, 2,679 apartments were acquired and 702 new constructed apartments were completed.
Sato's focus is to invest in apartments,
which are located in Greater Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. Today, 79 % of the apartments are located in Helsinki and 13 % in Tampere and Turku. The remaining apartments are located in Jyväskylä, Oulu and St Petersburg. Sato's apartments have an average area of 56 sq.m.
On 31 December, Sato had 1,200 apartments under construction, of which 900 are expected to be completed in 2017. The market value of Sato's property portfolio has developed positively in recent years both through acquisitions and new construction under own management.
The residential market in Finland consists of 2.6 million apartments, of which two thirds are condominiums and one third are rental apartments. Sato's share of the rental market is about 3 %. The largest owners in the Finnish market are insurance companies, pension funds and municipalities, where municipalities usually own apartments for social purposes. Demand for smaller apartments exceeds supply, especially in the Helsinki region.

Property and project development
Balder considers that it is important in its property development to be able to control the entire value chain, from acquisition of land to completion of the project. By improving the existing property portfolio, land allocations and acquisitions, Balder wants to be a long-term player in property and urban development.
Balder is continuing the work on building up a business area for property development. During the year, the organisation was expanded and key people were recruited. The operations and real estate projects are concentrated in the metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Copenhagen.
Work with a large number of zoning plans is ongoing, including densification and development of the existing property portfolio and with externally acquired real estate projects and municipal land allocations. The ambition is to create an extensive portfolio over time of building rights for development properties and real estate projects, with the aim of constantly producing new rental apartments and tenant-owner's apartments for our own management.
In 2016, we started construction of 450 apartments and we have 2,700 apartments in total under construction, primarily in Copenhagen and Helsinki.
Property development will mainly concentrate on residential projects. Commercial property development will concentrate on supporting housing projects and will be part of the requirements in new zoning plans. Through active property development, we are participating in changes to city districts, as well as individual property's conditions or use and can thereby create value. By improving the existing property portfolio, land allocations and acquisitions, Balder wants to be a long-term player in property and urban development. Where Balder is already a property owner, the company will focus on creating new building rights on existing land. Where there are opportunities for conversions to tenant-owner's associations, they will be evaluated. Our ambition is to invest in areas where we already operate, with a main emphasis on Stockholm, Gothenburg and the Öresund region, including Copenhagen.
Balder considers that it is important in its property development to be able to control the entire value chain, from acquisition of land to completion of a project. The development process occurs in different phases and can take several years, and therefore it is important that it proceeds in close cooperation with municipalities and other stakeholders.
During the summer, Balder won a land allocation competition in Väsjön, Sollentuna. Väsjön is a very exciting development area with many qualities. The vision is a small-scale, varied and natural urban area with an active life in focus. The district borders a nature reserve with unspoiled countryside and four beautiful lakes. The new development is concentrated around Väsjön with connecting squares, park areas and promenades.
Balder's winning proposal includes 86 tenant-owner's apartments in two high-rises with brick façades in varied colours. The composition with simple and austere façades is lightened up by balconies that crosses between the floors, providing light and space for residents. The zoning plan work has begun and start of construction is expected in autumn 2019.
Copenhagen
This beautiful turn-of-the-century property is located on prestigious Nils Brocks Gade, just beside Tivoli in Copenhagen. The property is undergoing a careful renovation into a hotel property of 77 exclusive rooms. The hotel is planned to open during summer 2017.
During the second quarter of 2016, 184 apartments were completed at Skibbroen close to Fisketorvet shopping centre in central Copenhagen. The immediate surroundings are full of life featuring a mix of offices, residential properties, stores and cafés. The apartments are very modern with spacious patios and roof terraces. The large windows provide wonderful natural light and stunning views over the nearby dock. The promenade along the pier where the houseboats call is a picturesque feature of the area.
Backaplan will be developed from a marketplace into a densely developed green and lively urban environment. Centrala Hisingen is a continuation of Gothenburg centre north of Göta älv. The district is an important area linking together the city across the river.
Together with the City of Gothenburg and other property owners in Backaplan, a new city district is planned of about 5,000 apartments and around 60,000 sq.m. of retail space and premises. Backaplan's central location with good infrastructure means that the area has good potential to meet the city's need of centrally-located housing, retail space and offices. Balder is planning about 2,000 new apartments here. The zoning plan work is in progress with start of construction expected in 2019. Preliminary occupation from autumn 2021.
In September, the first sod was turned by Balder in Kungälv. Here Balder will construct 134 modern rental apartments with smart layouts in sizes ranging from 1-4 rooms of 35-90 sq. m. The construction will be certified according to Sweden Green Building Council's silver rating.
Kongahällatomten is the largest new construction project in Kungälv in modern times. Besides 900 new apartments, which
44 FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016
are being constructed by a number of developers, Kungälv will gain a new shopping centre and travel centre. Where the blocks meet, there are natural meeting places and small squares.
The area has good communication possibilities within walking or cyling distance of most things in Kungälv municipality, which makes it easy to live a sustainable and environmentally-friendly urban life. Letting is expected to start in August 2017 with preliminary occupation in summer 2018.
Property valuation
Balder's property portfolio consists of more than 1,200 properties, of which over 1,000 are residential properties.
The market value of the property holdings amounted to SEK 86,177m at the end of 2016. The value of the properties is based on internal valuations. The rental trend for the property portfolio is expected to follow inflation over time. Commercial leases include indexation, which means that the rent develops at the same rate as the CPI, consumer price index, during the leasing period. Residential properties have historically developed a little better than the CPI, but in its valuations, Balder has assumed that rents develop in line with inflation. The total rental value amounted to SEK 6,089m on 31 December 2016.
Three different valuation methods are used in the internal valuations. These are the yield method, the acquisition cost method and the sales comparison method. For property valuations in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, the investment method is used and for valuation of properties in Finland, all three methods are used.
During valuation according to the yield method, the market value of the properties reflects the future cash flow that is computed at present value using a yield requirement. The more predictable the future cash flow, of course the easier it is to determine the market value of the properties. The cash flows of residential properties are usually very predictable as the income is divided among a large number of tenants, which makes it easy to determine at what rent an apartment will be let out at again in the event of a vacancy. Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 7.1 years. The 10 largest leases represent 5.6 % of total rental income, with an average lease
term of 11.8 years. These circumstances mean that a lot of Balder's future cash flows that make up the future market value are known.
The properties in Balder where the future cash flow is least predictable are mainly concentrated towards the central areas of the large cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. It is in these properties that Balder is most dependent on future lettings. But it is also where an estimate must be made in the valuations of what rent a premises can be let out for again in the event it becomes vacant. The big cities offer good transparency with comparative rental rates, which means that rental rates can be determined with great certainty. However, the time required for further letting is more difficult to determine, which means that an assessment must be made based on market demand, historical interest, similar premises etc. An estimate is also made of the future development of the immediate surroundings as well as the position of the property within its market segment.
The sales comparison method is used in Finland for the properties that consist of apartments, which can be sold as separate units without restrictions. For valuation of these properties, quoted prices in the market for comparable objects during the past 24 months are used a basis. Using quoted prices as a starting point, an average price is calculated, which is adjusted by a "rental building deduction" based on the property's location, image and technical standard. The exception from the above is properties that were completed during the past two years and properties acquired within the past 12 months.
The acquisition cost method is applied for properties under construction and properties subject to rent control. Initially, these properties are valued at acquisition cost with addition of transaction costs and subsequently at acquisition cost less depreciation and impairment losses. For other properties in Finland, the yield method is used as above.
During valuation, assumptions have been made regarding future operating and maintenance payments. The assumptions are based on historic outcomes and future projections as well as estimated standardised costs. Operating and maintenance costs are adjusted upwards each year by inflation.
Yield requirements and cost of capital used in valuations have been derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Important factors in choosing a yield requirement are location, rental rate, vacancy rate and the condition of the property. Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. The uncertainty in respect of individual properties is normally considered to be in the range of +/– 5–10 %. Balder continually monitors the transactions that are completed in the market in order to substantiate and guarantee internal valuations. Balder also conducts continual discussions with external actors regarding acquisition and divestment of properties, which provides additional guidance.
On 31 December, Balder's average yield amounted to 5.3 % (5.4). The yield requirement for commercial properties amounted on average to 5.1 % (5.3) and to 5.6 % (5.4) for residential properties.
In 2016, Balder acquired properties for SEK 11,342m (28,660) in total. Divestments during the year amounted to SEK 1,990m (1,613), which generated a profit of SEK 85m (65). According to Balder's internal valuations, the carrying amount of the properties at year-end amounted to SEK 86,177m (68,456), which corresponds to an unrealised change in value of SEK 4,847m (3,323).
The largest share of the market value is found in the Stockholm, Helsinki and Gothenburg regions, which combined represent a property value of SEK 57,243m.
In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued regularly during the year. During 2016, about 40 % of the property portfolio was externally
valued including Sato's properties. Every quarter, Sato's internal valuations are also reviewed by an external party. The external valuations were carried out during the year by Newsec and JLL and reviews of Sato's valuations were carried out by JLL. At year-end, the external valuations were less than 1 % lower than Balder's internal valuation. Historically, deviations between Balder's internal and external valuations have been insignificant.

Financing
Balder is financed through loan capital and equity. The goal is that the equity/assets ratio over time shall exceed 35 %, and that the net debt to total assets ratio shall not exceed 55 %.
Balder's largest asset class is residential properties, which are characterised by stable cash flows over time as the tenant risk is spread over a large number of payers. This also means that residential properties can be pledged to a higher degree than commercial properties by virtue of security in the cash flow. Today Balder has more than 60 % of its property value in residential properties and the majority of the other properties are commercial properties located in the central parts of the Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö metropolitan areas. The location of the assets forms a central part of lenders' credit risk assessments. Other important factors include diversification in the form of geography and asset class. Balder has chosen to own residential properties in Copenhagen and Helsinki in order to have a presence in several markets. Today about 45 % of the property value is located in these cities and a few other growth areas in Finland. Although Balder has chosen to concentrate to date on residential properties outside Sweden, the assets in Sweden are more diversified in the form of office, hotel, retail and
residential properties.
During December 2016, Balder obtained an investment grade rating from Moody's of Baa3 with a stable outlook. Through the rating, Balder now has an official assessment of credit risk, which is important for the company's continued growth via the capital market. Since Balder some years ago invested in both Denmark and Finland, the company has exposure to the Euro and DKK and with a Moody's rating, Balder can access the European capital market. By using the European capital market, Balder can obtain capital tied up for long terms, diversify the funding base and thus secure capital for continued long-term growth. According to Moody's, the rating, among other things, reflects Balder's focus on stable residential properties in Sweden and Finland and Balder's commercial properties in central locations. The rating also reflects Balder's conservative dividend policy. Balder's subsidiary Sato also obtained a rating from Moody's of Baa3 with a stable outlook. In order to further stabilise financing costs and improve access to financing, Sato's goal is to obtain a higher rating.
Of Balder's total financing, about 28 % consists of capital market financing and the remainder is bank financing and subsidised governmental loans, where the latter are held in Finland. Balder's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 49,580m on 31 December. Secured liabilities in relation to total assets amounted to 39.6 % (42.2) as of 31 December. On the same date, the net debt to total assets ratio was 50.0 % (51.6). Balder's fixed credit term amounted to 4.2 years (4.4), the interest rate refixing period was 2.4 years (2.9) and the average interest rate amounted to 2.1 % (2.2) including the effect from interest rate derivatives.
Net financial items, excluding changes in value of interest rate derivatives, amounted to SEK –973m (–437), which was a result of larger average debt, however, the average interest rate was lower during the year. At year-end, Balder's average interest rate was 2.1 % (2.2).

Balder utilises overdraft facilities in order to balance its liquidity needs. At year-end, Balder's disposable liquidity amounted to SEK 1,942m (1,339), which was composed of cash and cash equivalents, unutilised credit facilities and financial investments. Apart from the available liquidity, Balder, at year-end had credit facilities of SEK 4,827m (4,745), of which SEK 4,827m (4,545) were unutilised. Balder also has credit facilities that fully cover future payments for new construction projects in progress. Balder's cash flow is relatively evenly distributed during the year as about 66 % of rental income relates to residential rents, which are paid monthly. Remaining !#)#+#*#!# +")%#

Of Balder's contracted rental income, 66 % relates to residential properties and 34 % to premises. The company's income is affected by the occupancy rate of the properties, the possibility of charging market-related rents as well as customers' payment capacity. If the occupancy rate or rental rates change, irrespective of the reason, Balder's results are affected. Naturally, the risk of large fluctuations in vacancies and loss of rental income increases the more large individual tenants a property company has. Balder's ten largest leases represent 5.6 % of total rental income and their average lease term amounts to 11.8 years. No individual lease accounts for more than 0.8 % of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 4.0 % of total rental income. There are no guarantees that Balder's major tenants will renew or extend their leases when they expire, which in the longer term can lead to altered rental income and vacancies. The dependence on individual tenants decreases in line with Balder's continued growth through acquisitions. In order to limit the risk of falling rental income and a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers. Balder's leases are normally
wholly or partly linked to the consumer price index, in other words, wholly or partly adjusted for inflation.
Balder is dependent on tenants paying agreed rents in time. In some leases, the tenant's obligations are guaranteed by the parent company or through bank guarantees. The risk still remains that tenants will suspend their payments or in other respects will not fulfil their obligations. If this happens, Balder's results could be affected negatively.
Unlike commercial properties, residential properties are covered by regulations, which among other things mean that the so-called utility value principle determines the setting of the rent.
At year-end, Balder had an economic occupancy rate of 95 %, which means that the vacancy at year-end amounted to SEK 289m and represents an opportunity for potential new lettings. The table above shows how profit before tax would be affected by a change of +/– 1 % in the rental level and +/– 1 % in the economic occupancy rate.
Operating costs mainly consist of costs that are based on usage such as electricity, cleaning, water and heating costs. Several of these goods and services can only be purchased from one supplier, which can
affect the price. To the extent that possible cost increases are not compensated by adjustments of leases or increases in rent through renegotiation of leases, Balder's results can be affected negatively. Maintenance costs include measures aimed at maintaining the standard of the properties in the long term. These costs are expensed to the extent they constitute repairs and replacement of smaller areas. Other additional expenses of a maintenance character are capitalised in connection with the expense arising. Unforeseen and extensive repair needs may also affect the results negatively.
One way to increase returns is to construct new properties and develop existing ones through investments. The risks in property development projects include assessments about the rental market trend, but also the design of the product and execution of the project itself. These risks are limited by only making investments in markets where Balder has good market knowledge, and where there is a strong demand for residential and commercial properties. Quality-assured internal processes and a high level of competency in the project organisation ensure that high quality is maintained in the execution and product, and that sustainability requirements are met. During new construction of buildings, demands are always imposed that a large part of the property should be let before the investment begins. The majority of ongoing projects therefore have a high occupancy rate.
83 % of the value of Balder's property port-
folio is found in the four metropolitan regions Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Öresund. Balder's investment properties are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet and changes in value are recognised in the income statement. Unrealised changes in value do not affect the cash flow. Balder carries out an internal valuation of the property portfolio in connection with quarterly reports. Parts of the property portfolio are also externally valued and compared to the internal valuation.
The value of the properties is affected by a number of factors including property-specific factors such as occupancy rate, rental rate and operating costs as well as market-specific factors such as yield requirements and cost of capital.
Both property-specific and market-specific changes affect the value of investment properties, which in turn impacts the Group's financial position and results.
Balder's future growth is dependent on the knowledge, experience and commitment of the Management team and other key people. The company could be affected negatively if one or more of these people would leave the Group.
Balder can incur losses within the framework of its operating activities due to defective routines or irregularities. Good internal control, appropriate administrative systems, skills development and good access to reliable valuation and risk models provide a good basis for reducing operational risks. Balder continually works on monitoring the company's administrative security and control.
Changes in corporate and property taxes, as well as other government levies, rent allowance and interest allowance can affect the basis for Balder's operations. It cannot be ruled out that tax rates will change in the future or that other changes will occur in the state system that affect real estate ownership. In most leases, the customer pays his share of the currently charged property tax. Changes in corporate taxation and other governmental levies, may affect Balder's results. A change in tax legislation or practice which implies changes in possibilities of making tax write-offs or utilising loss carry-forwards, for example, can mean a change in Balder's future tax situation and can thereby also impact results.
Balder's operations are mainly financed by equity and loans from external lenders. The relationship between equity and liabilities is managed on the basis of the chosen level of financial risk and the amount of equity to meet lenders' requirements for securing loans at market-related conditions. The financing via loans means that Balder is exposed to financing, interest rate and credit risks. Financing conditions include requirements in relation to the equity/assets ratio, net debt to total assets ratio and interest coverage ratio.
Refinancing risk refers to the risk that financing cannot be secured at all, or only at a significantly increased cost. Balder conducts continual discussions with banks and credit institutions aimed at securing the long-term financing. Balder cooperates closely with a handful of lenders in order to secure the company's long-term capital requirements.
Interest rate risk is defined as the risk that changes in the level of interest rates will affect Balder's financing expense. Interest
expense is Balder's single largest cost item. Interest expenses are mainly affected by the current market rate of interest and the credit institutions' margins and by what strategy Balder chooses for interest rate refixing periods. Market rates of interest are affected by the expected inflation rate. In times of rising inflation expectations, the interest rate level can be expected to rise, which immediately increases the interest expense on loans with short maturities.
Balder has a large proportion of loans which run according to short interest rate refixing periods. Balder deploys interest rate derivatives as part of its interest risk management, in order to achieve preferred interest rate refixing periods.
Credit risk is defined as the risk that Balder's counterparties cannot fulfil their financial obligations towards Balder. Credit risk in the financial operations arises during investment of excess liquidity, on entering into interest rate swap contracts and in connection with issued credit agreements. As regards Balder's trade receivables, customary credit checks are carried out before a new lease is entered into.
Balder owns properties via subsidiaries in Denmark, Finland and Norway. Companies' revenue and costs are in local currency and are thereby exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates from a Group standpoint. Exchange rate fluctuations also arise in translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries to the currency of the parent company.
Property management and property development have an environmental impact. Balder has established an environmental policy and works actively with environmental issues. Under the Environmental Code, the party conducting an activity which has contributed to pollution is also responsible for after-treatment. If the party conducting the activity cannot carry out or pay for the after-treatment of a property, the party acquiring the property and that on the acquisition date was aware of or that should have then discovered the pollution, is responsible. Since Balder mainly owns residential, office and retail properties, this risk is considered limited.

FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016 58
The Board of Directors and CEO of Fastighets AB Balder (publ), corporate identity number 556525-6905, hereby submit the accounts of the Group and the Parent Company for the financial year 2016. Fastighets AB Balder is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap segment. The company has approximately 22,000 shareholders (17,200). Comparisons stated in parenthesis refer to the corresponding period of the previous year.
Balder's business concept is to create value by acquiring, developing and managing residential properties and commercial properties based on local support and to create customer value by meeting the needs of different customer groups for premises and housing.
Balder shall aim to achieve such a position in each region whereby the company is a natural partner for potential customers that are in need of new premises and/or housing. Growth should occur on the basis of continued profitability and positive cash flows.
Balder's goal is to achieve a stable and good return on equity, while the equity/ assets ratio over time shall not be less than 35 % and the interest coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.0 times and the net debt to total assets ratio shall not exceed 55 %. The outcome in 2016 was 36.1 % (34.1) and 3.7 times (5.1), and 51.8 % (54.6), respectively. Including the listed associated companies at market value, the equity/assets ratio was 38.3 % (37.8) and the net debt to total assets ratio was 50.0 % (51.6).
Balder's business areas consist of the regions Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Öresund, East and North, which are made up of 17 areas. The regional organisations follow the same basic principles but differ depending on the size and property holdings of each region. Regional offices are responsible for letting, operation, environmental matters and technical management.
The Balder Group, with Fastighets AB Balder as parent company, is composed of a large number of limited liability companies and limited partnership companies. Balder's operational organisation is supported by central accounting, property management and finance functions. The Group had a total of 546 employees (522) on 31 December, of whom 255 (234) were women.
Balder's Management team is composed of six people, of whom one is a woman. For information regarding approved guidelines for remuneration to senior executives, see Note 4, Employees and personnel expenses. The Board will not propose any changes in the guidelines to the Annual General Meeting 2017.
Balder obtained an investment grade rating from Moody's of Baa3 with a stable outlook.
During September, Balder's associated company Brinova Fastigheter AB (publ) was listed, Balder's participating interest was 25.5 % on 31 December.
During the year, Balder acquired all properties in the company I.A Hedin Fastighet AB from Anders Hedin Invest AB. The number of acquired retail properties was 43 in total with a property value of SEK 4,208m. In 2016, Balder also acquired its first property in Norway, Hedmark University of Applied Sciences, where the Norwegian state is the dominant tenant with a lease that has a remaining term of 24 years. During the year, 116 properties were acquired with a property value of SEK 11,432m. The largest part of
the property acquisitions during the year related to acquisitions in Balder's Finnish subsidiary Sato Oyj and the acquired properties from the company I.A Hedin Fastighet AB.
Balder's strategy for a number of years has been to divest properties in places where the company cannot sustain a sufficiently large management unit. During the year, Balder divested all its properties in Töreboda, Skara and Jönköping. Balder divested 71 properties in total during the year with a property value of SEK 1,990m including sales that occurred in the subsidiary Sato Oyj. The divestments carried out, generated a profit of SEK 85m, equivalent to 5 % over the carrying amount.
In September, a directed share issue of 3,000,633 ordinary shares was carried out, which raised SEK 681m after issue expenses. In December, a set-off issue of 4,602,515 ordinary shares was completed, which raised SEK 1,099m after issue expenses.
Balder's commercial properties are mainly located in the central areas of big cities and the residential properties are located in big cities and in places that are growing and developing positively.
On 31 December, Balder owned 1,220 investment properties (1,177) with a lettable area of 3,806,000 sq.m. (3,430,000) and a carrying amount of SEK 86.2 billion (68.5), including project real estate. During the year, 116 investment
properties (723) with a lettable area of approximately 505,000 sq.m. (1,405,000) were acquired for SEK 11,342m (28,660). 71 properties (23) were divested during the year with a total lettable area of 132,000 sq.m. (108,000) for SEK 1,990m (1,613), which generated a profit of SEK 85m (65).
In 2017, Balder will continue the work on consolidating its property portfolio.
When allocating carrying amounts by region, Helsinki's share amounted to 30 % (31), Stockholm to 19 % (20), Gothenburg 20 % (20), Öresund 13 % (12), East 13 % (14) and North 4 % (3). Of the carrying amounts, 39 % (36) related to commercial properties and 61 % (64) to residential properties.
Profit from property management amounted to SEK 2,653m (1,780) during the year. Profit from property management attributable to the parent company's shareholders increased by 27 % and amounted to SEK 2,265m (1,780), which corresponds to SEK 11.89 per ordinary share (9.71). Profit from property management includes SEK 419m (457) in respect of associated companies, which is included in the income statement as participations in profits from associated companies.
Net profit after tax during the year amounted to SEK 6,093m (4,916). Profit after tax attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK 5,474m (4,916), corresponding to SEK 30.38 per ordinary share (28.98).
The result was impacted by realised changes in value of properties of SEK 85m (65), unrealised changes in value of properties of SEK 4,847m (3,323), changes in value of interest rate derivatives of SEK –114m (227) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 590m (831).
Rental income increased by 98 % to SEK 5,373m (2,711). The increase was mainly due to Sato Oyj, whose income statement was consolidated for the first time from 1 January 2016. The leasing portfolio was estimated to have a rental value on 31 December of SEK 6,089m (5,257) on a full-year basis. The average rental
level for the entire property portfolio amounted to 1,583 SEK/sq.m. (1,508) excluding project real estate. The increase in the average rental rate was mainly due to changes in the property portfolio. The rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations.
The economic occupancy rate amounted to 95 % (96) on the closing date.
On 31 December, the total rental value for unlet areas amounted to SEK 289m (182) on a full-year basis.
Property costs amounted to SEK 1,693m (767) during the year. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the consolidation of Sato Oyj. Net operating income increased by 89 % to SEK 3,679m (1,944), which provided a surplus ratio of 68 % (72). Operating costs normally vary with the seasons. The first and fourth quarters have higher costs than the other quarters, while the third quarter usually has the lowest cost level.
Net financial items, excluding changes in value of derivatives amounted to SEK –973m (–437) and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK –114m (227). The negative change in value during the year was due to the decrease in the level of interest rates which means that the difference in relation to the contracted interest rate level of the interest rate derivatives has increased.
Derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet. Changes in value from derivatives arise in the event of changed interest rate levels and do not affect cash flow, as long as they are not sold during the period. Balder has hedged against higher levels of interest rates, which means that the market value of derivatives decreases during a period of downward interest rates. The deficit in respect of derivatives amounted to SEK
1,547m (1,294) at year-end. The deficit on derivatives will be released during the remaining term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 1,547m that will be reversed to equity in its entirety, adjusted by deferred tax through profit or loss, in line with the maturity of the derivatives.
Net financial items are equivalent to an average interest rate of 2.1 % (1.8) including the effect of accrued interest from Balder's interest rate derivatives.
See page 7.
Balder carried out internal valuations on 31 December of all properties. The properties in Sweden, Denmark and Norway were valued using the yield method, which is based on a 10-year cash flow model. Each property is individually valued by computing the present value of future cash flows, in other words future rent payments less estimated operating and maintenance payments. The cash flow is adjusted to market by taking account of changes in letting levels and occupancy rates as well as operating and maintenance payments.
The valuation is based on an individual assessment of each property, as well as future cash flows and the yield requirement. In Finland, besides the yield method, the sales comparison method is also used as well as the acquisition cost method. For a more detailed description of Balder's property valuation see Note 13, Investment properties.
Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued during the year. During the year, Balder externally valued about 40 % of its properties including Sato Oyj's property holdings. The external valuations were
| Factor | Change | Earnings effect before tax, SEKm |
|---|---|---|
| Rental income | +/–1 % | +/–58 |
| Economic occupancy rate | +/–1 percentage point | +/–61 |
| Interest rate level of interest-bearing liabilities |
+1 percentage point | –374 |
| Property costs | +/–1 % | –/+17 |
| Changes in value of investment properties | +/–5 % | +/–4,309 |
less than 1 % higher than the internal valuations at year-end.
On 31 December, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.3 % (5.4), excluding projects and development properties. The change in value during the period was attributable to improved net operating income and slightly lower yield requirements.
On 31 December, the carrying amount of the investment properties amounted to SEK 86,177m (68,456), according to the individual internal valuation, which implied an unrealised change in value of SEK 4,847m (3,323).
Balder's tax expense amounted to SEK –1,550m (–862), of which SEK –226m (4) is current tax expense for the year, which is mainly attributable to the consolidation of Sato Oyj, and a deferred tax expense of SEK –1,325m (–866). Current tax expense attributable to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK –135m (4).
Current tax and deferred tax have been calculated based on the applicable tax rate for 2016. Current tax only arises in Sweden in exceptional cases on account of the possibilities of making tax write-offs, tax deductions for certain investments in properties and use of existing loss carry-forwards. For the small number of subsidiaries where no group contributions for tax purposes exist, current tax can arise. Current tax for the year mainly relates to Balder's Finnish subsidiary Sato Oy, and to a lesser extent to acquired and divested companies during the year.
Deferred tax is calculated on the temporary differences arising after the acquisition date. The Group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of fiscal deficits and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and values for tax purposes of properties and interest rate derivatives. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to SEK 5,808m (4,071). For more detailed information, see Note 11, Taxes.
Balder's assets amounted to SEK 92,623m (73,376) on 31 December. These were financed by equity of SEK 33,479m (25,052) and by liabilities of SEK 59,144m (48,324) of which SEK 49,580m (41,063) are interest-bearing.
Cash flow from operating activities be-
fore changes in working capital amounted to SEK 2,135m (1,193). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 8,401m (5,635). During the year, acquisition of properties of SEK 7,648m (2,097), investments in existing properties of SEK 1,843m (791) and investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments, associated companies and transactions with non-controlling interests of SEK 785m (4,857), paid dividend preference shares of SEK 200m (200) and paid dividend to non-controlling interests of SEK 107m (–) totalled SEK 10,583m (7,945).
These were financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 2,891m (762), through property divestments of SEK 1,651m (1,606) and financial investments of SEK 225m (504), a new issue of SEK 682m (1,705), a new issue in the subsidiary Sato Oyj of SEK 420m (–) and net borrowing of SEK 5,382m (3,788), totalling SEK 11,250m (8,365).
Total cash flow for the year amounted to SEK 667m (421).
Apart from unutilised credit facilities of SEK 4,827m (4,545) the Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised overdraft facilities amounted to SEK 1,942m (1,339) on 31 December.
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 33,479m (25,052) on 31 December, of which non-controlling interests amounted to SEK 5,540m (4,377), corresponding to SEK 139.23 per ordinary share (103.24). The equity/assets ratio was 36.1 % (34.1). Including the listed associated companies at market value, the equity/assets ratio was 38.3 % (37.8) and equity per ordinary share was SEK 157.63 (128.03).
The Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 49,580m (41,063) on 31 December. The proportion of loans with interest dates during the coming 12-month period amounted to 52 % (52) and the average fixed credit term amounted to 4.2 years (4.4). Derivatives contracts have been entered into in order to limit the impact of a higher market rate of interest.
The above-mentioned derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet with changes in value recognised in the income statement. Changes in value during the year amounted to SEK –114m (227). Interest-bearing liabilities are described in greater detail in Note 21, Financial risks and financial policies.
Property investments amounted to SEK 13,185m (29,451) during the year, of which SEK 11,342m (28,660) related to acquisitions and SEK 1,843m (791) related to investments in existing properties and projects. The largest part of the property acquisitions during the year related to acquisitions made by Sato Oyj and the acquired properties from Anders Hedin Invest AB. Of the total changes in the property portfolio, SEK 3,603m (21,291) related to Helsinki, 1,280m (1,117) related to Stockholm, SEK 3,274m (597) to Gothenburg, SEK 2,210m (1,176) to Öresund, SEK 2,061m (5,243) to East, and SEK 758m (27) to North.
Balder owns 50 % of a number of companies where Balder takes care of management and administration, for further information see Note 15, Participations in associated companies. Apart from the 50%-owned associated companies, Balder owns 44.1 % (44.1) of Collector AB (publ), 31.0 % (31.0) of Tornet Bostadsproduktion AB and 25.5 % (35.0) of Brinova AB Fastigheter AB (publ) and 49 % (–) of Sjaelsö Management ApS. During September 2016, Balder's associated company Brinova Fastigheter AB was listed and Collector AB is already listed. In order to clarify the value of these two associated companies in Balder, the consolidated statement of financial position includes recognition of listed associated companies at market value, see page 58. On pages 50-51, Balder's participations in the balance sheets and property holdings of the 50%-owned property-managing associated companies are reported and presented according to IFRS accounting policies.
The associated companies own a total of 81 investment properties (55) and 5 real estate projects (5). Balder's participation in the lettable area of the property holdings amounts to approximately 219,000 sq.m. (183,000) with a rental value of SEK 333m (276). The economic occupancy rate amounted to 97 % (97).
The parent company's operations mainly consist of performing group-wide services. Balder has centralised the Group's credit supply, risk management and cash management through the parent company having an internal bank function. Sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 209m (147) during the year, of which intra-group services represented SEK 174m (117) and the remainder mostly related to management assignments for associated companies.
Net profit after tax during the year amounted to SEK 1,311 m (1,061). Earnings were affected by dividend from subsidiaries of SEK 1,430m (800), changes in value relating to unrealised interest rate derivatives of SEK –151m (199) and group contributions paid of SEK of –568m (–340).
The parent company's financial investments, cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,444m (658) on 31 December. Receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 24,629m (21,676) on the closing date. Investments in property, plant and equipment and financial investments amounted to SEK 8m (1) and SEK 42m (846) respectively during the year.
Balder's operations, financial position and results may be affected by a number of risk factors.
Balder's income is affected by the occupancy rate of the properties, the possibility of charging market-related rents as well as customers' payment capacity. The occupancy rate and rental levels are largely determined by the general and regional economic trends. Naturally, the risk of large fluctuations in vacancies and loss of rental income increases when there are more large individual customers in the property portfolio.
In order to limit the risk of lower rental income and a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers. Balder's distribution between commercial and residential properties and the geographical spread in the portfolio means that the risk relating to rental income is low.
At year-end, Balder had an economic
occupancy rate of 95 % (96). Balder's ten largest leases represented 5.6 % (6.1) of total rental income and their average lease term amounted to 11.8 years (11.1). No individual lease accounted for more than 0.8 % (0.9) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 4.0 % (2.7) of total rental income. The average lease term in the overall commercial portfolio amounted to 7.1 years (6.3).
A change of +/– 1 % in rental income would affect the profit before tax by +/– SEK 58m.
Balder's greatest financial risk is a lack of financing. To limit refinancing risk, Balder works continually to renegotiate loans and to diversify the maturity structure of loans. Meanwhile, this work ensures that competitive long-term financing is maintained. Balder's average fixed credit term amounted to 4.2 years (4.4).
Interest risk arises through fluctuations in the market rate of interest, which affects results and cash flow. A higher market rate of interest means an increased interest expense but this often also coincides with higher inflation and economic growth. This means that higher interest expenses are partly offset by lower vacancy rates and higher rental income through increased demand and by the fact that rents are indexed. Balder has elected to use interest rate derivatives to limit the risk of financing costs increasing significantly in the event of a higher market rate of interest.
In the event of an immediate increase in the market rate of interest of one %age unit and the assumption of an unchanged loan and derivative portfolio, the interest expense would increase by SEK 374m. Of Balder's total loan stock at year-end, 48 % (48) had an interest rate refixing period of more than one year. The holdings in Finland, Denmark and Norway have given rise to a currency position. For more information see Note 21, Financial risks and financial policies.
Property costs include direct costs such as operating and media expenses, maintenance costs, ground rent and property tax. Each region is responsible for ensuring that the property portfolio is well-maintained and in good condition. Through a local presence, knowledge
improves about each property's need for preemptive work, which is more cost-effective in the long-term than extensive repairs.
Balder works continually on improving cost efficiency using rational technical solutions, practical efforts and continuous follow up.
A change of +/– 1 % in property costs would affect the property costs by SEK –/+ 17m.
Changes in value investment properties Balder reports its investment properties at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. The uncertainty in respect of individual properties is normally considered to be in the range of +/– 5–10 %. The uncertainty varies according to the type of property, geographical location and real estate market conditions. Balder continually monitors the transactions that are completed in the market in order to substantiate and guarantee valuations. In addition, Balder conducts continual discussions with external participants on acquisition and divestment of properties and regularly allows external parties to value parts of the portfolio, which provides additional guidance. Also see Note 13, Investment properties.
Profit before tax would be affected by SEK +/– 4,309m in the case of a change in value of the investment properties of +/– 5 %. The equity/assets ratio in the event of a positive change in value would amount to 38.0 % and in the event of a negative change in value it would amount to 34.1 %.
Balder has not carried out any comprehensive study of possible environmental pollution in the property portfolio but estimates that neither the properties nor the customers' operations give rise to any material environmental risks, which could affect the company's position. Acquisitions of properties where a risk of an environmental impact is deemed to exist, are preceded by environmental inspections. For information about Balder's environmental responsibility see page 22.
During September, Balder carried out a
directed new issue of 3,000,633 ordinary Class B shares, which raised SEK 681m after issue expenses. Balder carried out a set-off issue of 4,602,515 ordinary Class B shares in December, which raised SEK 1,099m after issue expenses. After the issues and on 31 December, the share capital amounted to 190,000,000 distributed among 190,000,000 shares. Each share has a quota value of SEK 1, whereof 11,229,432 shares are of Class A, 168,770,568 of Class B and 10,000,000 preference shares. Each Class A share carries one vote and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote.
The Annual General Meeting 2016 resolved to authorise the Board during the period until the next AGM to decide on a new issue of shares of Class B and preference shares corresponding to not more than 10 % of the existing share capital. The largest owners are Erik Selin with company, which holds 48.2 % of the votes and Arvid Svensson Invest AB with 14.7 % of the votes. There are no restrictions in the articles of association as to the form of transfer of shares or voting rights at the general meeting.
Since Balder will prioritise growth, capital structure and liquidity during the next few years, the dividend for the ordinary share will be low or may not be declared at all. The quarterly dividend for the preference share amounts to SEK 20.00 per year.
The Board held 10 board meetings during the financial year of which one was the statutory meeting. The work follows a formal work plan approved by the Board. The formal work plan governs the Board's working methods and the division of responsibility between the Board and CEO as well as the forms for the day-today financial reporting. During the year, strategic questions and other important matters for the company's development were discussed, apart from day-to-day financial reporting and decision-making. The company's auditors participate in at least one board meeting and report on their audit of the management's administration and of the accounts.
Balder is governed by the corporate governance rules prescribed in the Swedish Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the listing agreement with Nasdaq Stockholm. The Board aims to make it easy for the individual shareholder to understand where in the organisation responsibility and authority lie. The corporate governance in the company is based on Swedish legislation, principally on the Swedish Companies Act, the Stockholm Stock Exchange's rules for issuers, the Swedish Corporate Governance Code
as well as other rules and guidelines. Some of the Code's principles involve creating a good basis for exercise of an active balance of power among owners, the Board and Management, which Balder views as a natural element in the principles of the operations.
Guidelines for remuneration of senior executives were resolved upon at the preceding Annual General Meeting. Above all, the guidelines mean that market-related salaries and other terms of employment should be applicable for the company management. The remuneration should be paid in the form of a fixed salary. Taken together, dismissal pay and termination benefits should not exceed the equivalent of 18 monthly salaries. The company management refers to the CEO and other members of the Group Management.
The Board's proposed guidelines to the next Annual General Meeting correspond to the present guidelines.
See Note 28, Significant events after the end of the financial year.
Balder's goal is to grow by means of direct or indirect acquisitions together with our partners in locations, which are considered interesting.
The following amount in Swedish kronor is at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting: Retained earnings 10,451,877,039 Net profit for the year 1,311,144,835 Total 1) 11,763,021,874

| Carried forward | 11,563,021,874 |
| Dividend SEK 20.00 per preference share |

The Board considers that full coverage exists for the company's restricted equity after the proposed distribution of profits.
The Board considers that the proposed distribution of profits is reasonable taking account of the assessment criteria prescribed in Chapter 17. Section 3, second and third paragraphs of the Swedish Companies Act (the type, scale, risks, need to strengthen the balance sheet, liquidity and general financial position of the operations).
The Board estimates that the company's equity after the proposed distribution of profits will be sufficiently large in relation to the type, scale and risks of the operations. The Board's assessment of the parent company's and the Group's financial position means that the dividend is defensible in relation to the Group's need to strengthen the balance sheet, liquidity and unexpected events.
The proposed distribution of profits will not affect the company's and the Group's ability to meet their payment obligations at the right time.
The proposed dividend for preference shares accounts for 1.7 % (2.2) of the parent company's equity and 0.6 % (0.8) of the Group's equity.
Balder's declared goal for the Group's capital structure is that the equity/assets ratio should not be less than 35 % over time and that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 2.0 times and that the net debt to total assets ratio should not be more than 55 %, should also be met after the proposed dividend. In light of this, the Board considers that the company and the Group have a good basis for taking advantage of future business opportunities and also for managing possible losses. Planned investments have been considered in determination of the proposed distribution of profits.
Record days for the quarterly dividend of SEK 5.00 to the preference shareholders are 10 July, 10 October and 10 January and 10 April.

The financial statements for Fastighets AB Balder, as of 31 December 2016, were approved by the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer on 31 March 2017 and will be submitted for adoption by the Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2017. Fastighets AB Balder (publ), corporate identity number 556525-6905, with registered office in Gothenburg, constitutes the parent company of a Group with subsidiaries according to Note 26, Group companies. The company is registered in Sweden and the address of the company's head office in Gothenburg is Fastighets AB Balder, Box 53121, 411 39 Gothenburg, Sweden. The visiting address is Parkgatan 49. Balder is a listed property company which shall meet the needs of different customer groups for premises and housing based on local support.
The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations by the International Financial Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU. In addition, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups is applied.
The annual accounts of the parent company have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 (Accounting for Legal Entities) and statements of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The parent company applies the same accounting policies as the Group apart from the instances described below in the section "Parent Company accounting policies". The deviations that occur between the parent company and Group accounting policies are due to limitations in the possibilities of applying IFRS in the parent company on account of the Annual Accounts Act.
The parent company's functional currency is the Swedish krona (SEK), which is also the presentation currency of the parent company and the Group.
The financial statements are presented in Swedish krona rounded off to millions of kronor unless otherwise stated.
Assets and liabilities are recognised at historical cost, with the exception of investment properties, financial investments and derivative instruments, which are measured at fair value.
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the company management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that appear reasonable under the existing circumstances. The result of these judgments and assumptions is then used to judge the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that would not be evident from other sources. The actual outcome may diverge from these estimates and judgements.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in estimates are recognised in the period in which they arise if the change affects that period alone or, alternatively, in the period in which they arise and during future periods if the change affects both the period in question and future periods.
Assumptions made by the company management in the application of IFRS, which have a material impact on the financial statements, and estimates which may give rise to significant adjustments in subsequent financial statements are presented in more detail in Note 30, Critical estimates and judgements.
The accounting policies set out for the Group have been consistently applied for all periods presented in the Group's financial statements, unless otherwise stated below. The Group's accounting policies have been applied consistently in the reporting and consolidation of subsidiaries.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is the function responsible for allocation of resources and evaluation of the operating segments' results. In the Group, this function has been identified as the Management team which takes strategic decisions. The Group's internal reporting of the operations is divided into the segments Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Öresund, East and North, which are harmonised with the Group's internal reporting system. See further in Note 3, Segment reporting.
Non-current assets and non-current receivables largely consist of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid after more than twelve months, calculated from the end of the reporting period. Current assets and current liabilities largely consist of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid within twelve months, calculated from the end of the reporting period. Current liabilities to credit institutions include the interest-bearing liabilities that formally mature within one year and one year's agreed amortisation. The company's interest-bearing liabilities are non-current in character, as they are continually extended, see Note 21. In the parent company, receivables and liabilities from/to group companies are recognised as non-current, when there is no approved amortisation plan.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or has the right to a variable return from its holding in the entity and can affect the
return through its control of the entity. When determining whether control exists, potential voting shares that can be called upon or converted without delay should be considered.
Subsidiaries are accounted for according to the purchase method. This method means that acquisition of a subsidiary that is classified as a business combination is treated as a transaction by which the Group indirectly acquires the subsidiary's assets and assumes its liabilities and contingent liabilities. The acquisition analysis establishes the cost of the shares or entity, as well as the fair value on the acquisition date of the company's identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities. The consideration also includes the fair value of all assets or liabilities which are a result of an agreement on contingent consideration. Costs related to the acquisition are expensed as they arise. For each acquisition, the Group determines if non-controlling interests in the acquired entity are recognised at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. The cost of acquisition of a subsidiary's shares and operations consists of the fair values of the assets on the date of exchange, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued as consideration in exchange for the acquired net assets, as well as transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition.
In business combinations where the cost of acquisition exceeds the net value of acquired assets, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised as goodwill. When the difference is negative, it is recognised directly in the income statement. When a company is acquired, the acquisition constitutes either the acquisition of an entity or the acquisition of an asset. An asset acquisition is identified if the acquired company only owns one or more properties. There are leases for these properties, but no personnel are employed in the company who can conduct business. In a business combination based on joint control, de facto control, the acquisition is recognised at historical cost, which means that assets and liabilities are recognised at the values they have been carried at in each company's balance sheet. In this way, no goodwill arises.
When an acquisition occurs of a group of assets or net assets which do not constitute an entity, the cost for the Group is allocated according to the individually identifiable assets and liabilities in the Group based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date.
The subsidiaries' financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control arises until the date control ceases.
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not lead to a loss of control are recognised as equity transactions, in other words, as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. In the case of acquisitions from non-controlling interests, the difference between the fair value of consideration paid and the proportion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets actually acquired is recognised in equity. Gains and losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recognised in equity.
Intra-group receivables and liabilities, revenue or expenses, and unrealised gains or losses arising from transactions between group companies, are eliminated in full on preparation of the consolidated accounts.
Associated companies are considered to be those companies that are not subsidiaries but where the parent company directly or indirectly holds between 20 and 50 per cent of the votes of all shares. Participations in associated companies are recognised in the Group according to the equity method. The equity method means that participations in an associated company are recognised at cost at the date of acquisition and are subsequently adjusted by the Group's participation in the change in the associated company's net assets.
Participating interests in associated companies are recognised separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position. Participations in the profits of associated companies are recognised after tax.
Financial statements of foreign operations Assets and liabilities in foreign operations are translated to Swedish kronor, at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses in a foreign operation are translated to Swedish kronor at an average rate that represents an approximation of the prevailing exchange rates on the date of each transaction. Translation differences arising on currency translation of foreign operations are recognised via other comprehensive income as a translation reserve.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. The functional currency is the currency, which applies in the primary economic environments in which companies conduct their operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are recognised in the income statement, apart from non-current internal balances, which are treated as a part of the net investment in subsidiaries and are recognised via other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are recognised at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are recognised at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the rate prevailing on the date of fair value measurement.
Rental income is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis according to the terms of the leasing agreement. The aggregate cost of benefits provided is recognised as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income is recorded in the period its refers to.
Other income is recognised on a straight-line basis in the consolidated income statement.
Costs relating to operating lease contracts and benefits received in connection with the signing of an agreement are recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Financial income and expenses consists of interest income on bank balances and receivables as well as interest expenses on liabilities.
Interest income on receivables and interest expense on liabilities are calculated using the effective rate method. The effective rate is the interest rate which means that the present value of all future incoming and outgoing payments during the interest rate refixing period will be the same as the carrying amount of the receivable or liability. Interest income and interest expenses include allocated amounts of transaction costs and possible discounts, premiums and other differences between the initial carrying amount of the receivable or liability and the amount that is settled at maturity. The interest component in financial lease payments is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by application of the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction or production of an asset, which requires a significant time to complete for use or sale are included in the cost of the asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs takes place provided that it is likely to lead to future economic benefits and that the costs may be measured in a reliable manner.
Financial instruments are measured and recognised in the Group in accordance with the rules in IAS 39. Financial instruments on the asset side that are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, trade receivables and other securities held as non-current assets as well as derivatives with positive value. Liabilities include trade payables, borrowings and derivatives with negative value. Financial instruments are initially recognised at the cost of acquisition corresponding to the fair value of the instrument plus transaction costs for all financial instruments, apart from those classified as financial assets recognised at fair value via the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, such as derivative instruments, which are recognised at fair value excluding transaction costs. The financial instruments are classified on initial recognition based on the purpose for which the instrument was acquired, which affects the subsequent recognition.
A financial asset or financial liability is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position when the company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Trade receivables are carried in the balance sheet when the invoice has been sent. Rental receivables are recognised as a receivable in the
period when performance, which corresponds to the receivable's value, has been delivered and payments corresponding to the value of the receivable have still not been received. A liability is recognized when the counterparty has performed and a contractual obligation to pay exists, even if an invoice has not been received. Trade payables are recognised when the invoice has been received.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights are realised or expire or the company no longer has control over them. The same applies to a portion of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised when the contractual liability is discharged or otherwise expires. The same applies to a portion of a financial liability.
Acquisition and disposal of financial assets are recognised on the transaction date, which represents the day when the company committed to acquire or dispose of the asset. Borrowing is recognised when the funds have been received, while derivative instruments are recognised when the contract has been entered into.
Balder divides its financial instruments into the following categories in accordance with IAS 39.
This category consists of two subcategories: financial assets held for trading and other financial assets that the company initially elected to place in this category, under the so-called Fair Value Option. Financial instruments in this category are measured on a continual basis at fair value with changes in value recognised through profit or loss. The first subcategory includes the Group's derivatives with positive fair value.
Receivables, which do not constitute derivatives, are recognised after initial recognition at amortised cost under the effective interest method. A receivable is examined individually as regards estimated risk of loss and is carried at the amount which is expected to be received. Impairments are made for doubtful receivables and are recognised in operating costs
The category financial assets available for sale includes financial assets which are not classified in any other category or financial assets that the company initially elected to classify in this category. Holdings of shares and participations that are not recognised as subsidiaries or associated companies are recognised here. Assets in this category are continually measured at fair value with changes in value recognised in other comprehensive income, however, not those that are due to impairments and dividend income, which are recognised through profit or loss. In the event of disposal of the asset, accumulated gains or losses, which were previously recognised in equity, are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This category includes unlisted shares which are recognised in the item other securities held as non-current assets.
This category consists of two sub-categories,
financial liabilities held for trading and other financial liabilities that the company elected to place in this category, the so-called Fair Value Option. The first category includes the Group's derivatives with negative fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Borrowing is reported initially at the amount received less transaction costs. After the date of acquisition, the loan is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Non-current liabilities have an expected maturity of more than 1 year while current liabilities have maturities of less than 1 year. Declared dividends are recognised as liabilities after the general meeting has approved the dividend.
Trade payables and other operating liabilities have short expected maturities and are measured at their nominal value with no discounting.
Derivative instruments include interest rate and currency swaps that are deployed to cover the risk of fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates. Derivatives are also terms of agreement which are embedded in other agreements. Embedded derivatives should be accounted for separately if they are not closely related to the host contract. Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of derivative instruments, stand-alone as well as embedded, are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and immediately available balances with banks and equivalent institutions, and short-term liquid investments with a term to maturity of less than three months, which are exposed to a minimal risk for fluctuations in value.
On each reporting date, the company assesses if there are objective indications that a financial asset, or group of financial assets, requires impairment. Objective evidence consists partly of observable circumstances that occurred and which have a negative impact on the possibility to recover the cost, and partly of a significant or protracted decline in the fair value of an investment in a financial investment classified as a financial asset available for sale
In the event of impairment of an equity instrument which is classified as a financial asset available for sale, any previously recognised accumulated loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
The recoverable amount of loans and trade receivables, which are recognised at amortised cost, is measured as the present value of future cash flows discounted by the effective rate that applied upon initial recognition of the asset. Assets with short maturities are not discounted. An impairment loss is recognised as a cost in the consolidated income statement.
Property, plant and equipment are recognised as an asset in the consolidated statement of financial position if it is probable that future economic benefits will accrue to the company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Items of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Group at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The purchase price is included in the cost as well as expenses directly attributable to the asset in order to bring it to the location and in the condition to be used in accordance with the aim of the acquisition.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on retirement or disposal or when no future economic benefits can be expected from use of the asset. Gains or losses arising from disposal or retirement of an asset consist of the difference between the selling price and the asset's carrying amount less directly related selling expenses. Gains and losses are recognised as other operating income/expenses.
Leases are classified in the consolidated financial statements either as financial or operating leases. Financial leasing exists when the economic risks and rewards associated with ownership have been essentially transferred to the lessee; if this is not the case, it is a matter of an operating lease.
In the case of operating leases, the lease payment is expensed over the term of the lease based on usage, which may differ from what has actually been paid as leasing fees during the year.
The Group has no financial leases.
Additional expenditure is added to the cost only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will accrue to the company and the cost can be measured in a reliable way. Other additional expenditure is recognised as a cost in the period in which it arises. The assessment of whether additional expenditure is added to cost depends on whether the expenditure concerns the replacement of identified components, or parts thereof, whereupon such expenditure is capitalised. Even in cases where new components are created, the expenditure is added to the cost. Repairs are expensed on an ongoing basis.
Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives:
| Property, plant and equipment | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Equipment | 3–10 years |
| Wind turbines | 10–20 years |
Assessment of the residual value and useful lives of assets is made on an annual basis.
Investment properties are properties that are held with the aim of receiving rental income or appreciation in value or a combination of both. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, which includes expenses and borrowing costs directly related to the acquisition. Investment properties are recognised according to the fair value method. The fair value is based on internal valuations which are reconciled as required with external independent valuers. Fair value is based on the market value, which is the estimated amount that would be received in a transaction on the
valuation date between knowledgeable parties that are independent of one another and that have an interest in completing the transaction after customary marketing, where both parties are assumed to have acted discerningly, wisely and without compulsion. Both unrealised and realised changes in value are recognised in the income statement. Valuations are performed at the end of each quarter.
Income from property divestments is normally recognised on the date of taking possession unless the risks and rewards have been transferred to the purchaser on an earlier date. Control of the asset may have been transferred on an earlier date than the date of possession and if this is the case the property divestment is recognised as income on this earlier date. The assessment of the date of revenue recognition takes into consideration what was agreed between the parties as regards risks and rewards as well as involvement in the day-today management.
In addition to this, circumstances that can affect the outcome of the transaction are considered which lie outside the seller's and/ or purchaser's control. If the Group starts a conversion of an existing investment property for continued use as an investment property, the property will continue to be recognised as an investment property. The property is recognised according to the fair value method and is not reclassified as property, plant and equipment during the conversion period.
Additional expenditure is added to the carrying amount only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will accrue to the company and the cost can be measured in a reliable way. Other additional expenditure is recognised as a cost in the period in which it arises. The assessment of whether additional expenditure is added to the carrying amount depends on whether the expenditure concerns the replacement of identified components, or parts thereof, whereupon such expenditure is capitalised. Even in cases where new components are created, the expenditure is added to the carrying amount.
The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, with the exception of investment properties, financial instruments and deferred tax assets, are tested on each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of an impairment need. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount of the asset concerned is calculated. For exempted assets, as above, the carrying amount is tested in accordance with each standard.
If it is impossible to determine significant independent cash flows to an individual asset, the assets should be grouped, in conjunction with impairment testing, at the lowest level at which it is possible to identify significant independent cash flows – a so-called cash generating unit. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount of assets in the category loans and receivables, which are recognised at amortised cost, is measured as the present value of future cash flows discounted by the effective rate that applied upon initial recognition of the asset.
Assets with short maturities are not discounted. The recoverable amount on other assets is the higher of the fair value less selling expenses and the value in use. In calculating value in use, future cash flows are discounted using a discounting factor that takes into account the risk-free rate of interest and the risk associated with the specific asset. For an asset that does not generate cash flows, which is significantly independent of other assets, the recoverable amount is estimated for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairments of loans and receivables recognised at amortised cost are reversed if a later increase in the recoverable amount can be objectively attributed to an event that occurred after the impairment was made.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. If this right does not exist, the preference shares are recognised as equity. Balder's preference shares are not mandatorily redeemable on a specific date and are thus recognised as equity.
Purchases of own shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from disposal are recognised as an increase in equity. Any transaction expenses are recognised directly against equity.
The cash flow statement was prepared using the indirect method, by which the result in adjusted for transactions that do not result in incoming or outgoing payments during the period, as well as for any income or costs attributable to investing or financing activities.
Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are calculated without discounting and are recognised as a cost as the related services are received.
Pension plans are classified as either defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The plans are predominantly defined contribution plans. Defined benefit plans only exist in exceptional cases.
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to privately managed pension insurance plans on a voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid; that is, the individual carries the risk. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due for payment. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or decrease in future payments could accrue to the Group.
A provision is recognised in connection with terminating the employment of personnel only if the company is demonstrably obligated to end employment before the normal time or when remuneration is provided as an offer to encourage voluntary retirement.
Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has an existing legal or informal obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of financial resources will be required to settle the obligation and that the amount can be reliably estimated. In cases where the effect of payment timing is significant, provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flow at an interest rate before tax that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, if applicable, the risks specific to the liability.
Income taxes consist of current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except when underlying transactions are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly against equity, whereupon the associated tax effect is recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity. Current tax is tax that shall be paid or received in respect of the current year, using the tax rates which are enacted or which in practice are enacted on the balance sheet date. Also included are adjustments of current taxes attributable to prior periods.
Deferred taxes are estimated in accordance with the liability method, based on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Temporary differences not taken into consideration are temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that are not business combinations and on the transaction date not affecting the recognised or taxable result. Furthermore, temporary differences are not taken into consideration that are attributable to investments in subsidiaries and which are not expected to be reversed within the foreseeable future. The measurement of deferred tax is based on how the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities are expected to be realised or settled. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and tax regulations which were enacted or were in practice enacted on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised net if they concern the same tax authority (country).
Deferred tax assets relating to deductible temporary differences and loss carry-forwards are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilised. The value of deferred tax assets is reduced when it is no longer considered probable that they can be utilised.
When a company is acquired, the acquisition constitutes either the acquisition of an entity or the acquisition of an asset. An asset acquisition is identified if the acquired company only owns one or more properties. There are leases for these properties, but no personnel are employed in the company who can conduct business. In case of recognition as an acquisition of assets, no deferred tax is recognised. All of Balder's completed acquisitions during the year, have been classified as acquisition of assets and therefore no deferred tax is recognised relating to properties in respect of these acquisitions.
A contingent liability is recognised if there is a possible obligation for which it has yet to be confirmed if the Group has an obligation that
could lead to an outflow of resources, alternatively, if there is a present obligation that does not meet the criteria to be recognised in the balance sheet as a provision or other liability as it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or as it is not possible to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount.
New and amended standards and interpretations which entered into force in 2016
New standards which entered into force from 1 January 2016 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
New standards and interpretations which enter into force in 2017 and subsequently A number of new and amended IFRS will only become effective in future financial years and have not been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. The amendments are not expected to have a major impact on the consolidated accounts. The new future standards are:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was adopted during autumn 2016 by the EU and will become effective on 1 January 2018. Among other things, the standard means a new classification of financial instruments and a new model for provisions for credit losses and management of hedge accounting. This is not expected to have any material impact on the Balder Group apart from changed documentation.
IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition was also adopted during autumn 2016 and will become effective on 1 January 2018. Balder's revenue mainly consists of rental income, which is recognised in the period in which the tenant uses the apartment/premises. The introduction of IFRS 15 is not expected to have any material effects on Balder's financial reporting apart from disclosure requirements.
IFRS 16 Leasing will be applied from 1 January 2019. The standard will impact the recognition of the Group's operating lease agreements where the Group is a lessee. For this type of lease, a future value shall be calculated and carried in the balance sheet. The Group only has a few such leases, and for this reason it is estimated that the standard will not have any major impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The company management has still not carried out a detailed analysis of the effect of applying IFRS 9, 15 and 16 and can therefore still not quantify the impact. The company management estimates that other new and amended standards and interpretations, which have not yet become effective will not have any material impact on Balder's financial statements when they are applied for the first time.
Changes made in 2016 have not had any material impact on Balder's reporting but mainly resulted in some expanded disclosure requirements.
The Parent Company has prepared its annual accounts according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The recommendation means that the parent company in
the annual accounts for the legal entity should apply all International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations approved by the EU as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, and taking into account the connection between recognition and taxation. The recommendation states which exemptions and amendments apply with respect to IFRS.
The accounting policies set out for the parent company have been applied consistently for all periods presented in the parent company's financial statements.
The parent company's income statement and balance sheet are prepared according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act's layout. The difference from IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, which is applied in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements, is mainly related to recognition of financial income and expenses and shareholders' equity.
Subsidiaries and associated companies Participations in subsidiaries and associated companies are recognised in the parent company in accordance with the cost method. Received dividends are only recognised as income provided that they pertain to profits earned subsequent to the acquisition. Dividends which exceed this earned profit are treated as a repayment of the investment and reduce the carrying amount of the participation.
The parent company's net sales consist of management services in relation to subsidiaries. This revenue is recognised in the period it relates to.
Anticipated dividends from subsidiaries are recognised in cases where the parent company has the exclusive right to decide on the size of the dividend and the parent company has made a decision on the size of the dividend before having published its financial statements.
The parent company's financial guarantee contracts mainly consist of loan guarantees on behalf of subsidiaries and associated companies. Financial guarantees mean that the company has an obligation to compensate the holder of a debt instrument for losses that they incur because a particular debtor does not complete payment on maturity according to the terms of the agreement. For recognition of financial guarantee contracts, the parent company applies RFR 2 paragraph 72, which implies relief compared to the rules in IAS 39 as regards financial guarantee contracts issued on behalf of subsidiaries and associated companies. The parent company recognises financial guarantee contracts as a provision in the balance sheet when the company has an obligation for which payment is likely to be required to settle the obligation.
All lease agreements in the parent company
are recognised in accordance with the rules for operating leases.
In the parent company, untaxed reserves are recognised including deferred tax. However, in the consolidated accounts, untaxed reserves are allocated between deferred tax liabilities and equity.
The company recognises group contributions and shareholders' contributions in accordance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2. Shareholders' contributions are recorded directly in equity in the case of the receiver and capitalised in shares and participations by the grantor, to the extent that impairment is not required. Group contributions are recognised as income in the income statement of the receiver and as a cost for the grantor. The tax effects are recognised according to IAS 12 in the income statement.

No variable remuneration is paid to any of the company's senior executives.
A defined benefit pension plan agreement has been entered into with the CEO which means that an amount of SEK 0.4m (0.4) will be paid out annually to the CEO when he reaches 55 until he is 65. Future payments will be limited by the fund's assets by agreement. The payments are not dependent on future employment. The present value of the commitment amounted to SEK 3.2m (3.0).

In the annual accounts for 2016, an expense of SEK 45m (21) was recognised in respect of operating leases in the Group. The future non-cancellable lease payments are as follows:

The Group lets out its investment properties under operating leases. The future non-cancellable lease payments are shown in the table on the right:
Leases for commercial premises are normally entered into for 3–5 years with a period of notice of 9 months. Leases for residential properties normally run subject to a period of notice of 3 months.

Investment properties are recognised at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position and changes in value are recognised in the consolidated income statement. All investment properties are deemed to be at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy according to IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement . The fair value of Balder's property portfolio is based on internal valuations. The properties in Sweden, Denmark and Norway were valued using the yield method. In Finland, besides the yield method, the sales comparison method is also used as well as the acquisition cost method. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be recovered in a transaction on the date of measurement between knowledgeable parties that are independent of one another and that have an interest in completing the transaction after customary marketing, where both parties are assumed to have acted discerningly, wisely and without compulsion.
On the closing date, Balder carried out an internal valuation of the entire property portfolio.
During valuation using the yield method, each property is valued by computing the present value of future cash flows, in other words future rent payments less estimated operating and maintenance payments and the residual value in ten years. Estimated rent payments as well as operating and maintenance payments have been derived from current rental income as well as operating and maintenance costs. The cash flow is adjusted to the market by taking account of changes in letting levels and occupancy rates as well as operating and maintenance payments. An inflation rate of 2 % has been assumed in all cash flow calculations.
The sales comparison method
During valuation using the sales comparison method, quoted prices in the market are used as a basis for comparable objects during the past 24 months. The sales comparison method is used in Finland for the properties that consist of apartments that can be sold as separate units without restrictions. Properties equivalent to about 30 % of the total market value were valued by the sales comparison method.
Properties under construction and regulated properties are valued at acquisition cost. Properties equivalent to about 2 % of the total market value were valued at acquisition cost. Initially, these properties are valued at acquisition cost with addition of transaction costs and subsequently at acquisition cost less depreciation and impairment losses.
Market value assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. The uncertainty in respect of individual properties is normally considered to be in the range of +/– 5–10 % and should be regarded as the uncertainty, which is part of the assumptions and calculations made. In a less liquid market, the range can be greater. For Balder, a range of uncertainty of +/– 5 % means a value range of SEK +/– 4,309m, equivalent to SEK 81,868– 90,486m.
In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued regularly during the year. During the year, Balder externally valued about 40 % of its properties including Sato's property holdings. The external valuations were less than 1 % higher than the internal valuations at year-end. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant. For more information about Balder's valuation methods, see pages 45-47.
Balder carried out an individual internal valuation on 31 December of the entire real estate portfolio. Unrealised changes in value during the year amounted to SEK 4,847m (3,323). Realised changes in value amounted to SEK 85m (65),
equivalent to 5 % (5) above the carrying amount. Rent payments
The rental trend is estimated to follow inflation taking account of prevailing index clauses in leases during their terms. When leases expire, an assessment is made of whether the lease is deemed to be extended at the prevailing market rent level and whether there is a risk of the premises becoming vacant. Vacancies are considered on the basis of the current vacancy situation with a gradual adjustment to expected market-related vacancy rates taking account of the property's individual conditions.
Outcomes, budgetary and projection data as well as estimated standardised costs have been used in the assessment of the property's future property costs.
Yield requirements and cost of capital used in the calculations have been derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Important factors in choosing a yield requirement are location, rental level, vacancy rate and the condition of the property. The yield requirement and cost of capital used are shown in the table on page 83.
The average yield on the closing date amounted to 5.3 % (5.4).
On 31 December 2016, after Balder's valuation, the company's total property value amounted to SEK 86,177m (68,456). For more information see the "Report of the Board of Directors" and Sensitivity analysis on page 60.
On 31 December, Balder had ongoing residential projects with an expected total investment of SEK 8.0 billion, of which about SEK 4.0 billion was already invested. The most large-scale investments are in Copenhagen and Helsinki and mainly relate to condominiums, which are let. In Copenhagen, there are currently about 1,400 apartments under construction and in Helsinki there are about 1,300 apartments under construction. On 31 December 2016, Balder's investment undertakings amounted to approximately SEK 4.0 billion (3.6), of which Sato Oyj's investment undertakings amounted to about SEK 1.2 billion.

Trade receivables are carried at the amount which is expected to be received less individually estimated doubtful receivables. The individual assessment is made on all trade receivables, which have fallen due for 90 days or more. Earnings in 2016 were charged with SEK 13m (8) in respect of actual and expected bad debt losses. The trade receivables are of a short-term character and this means that they are recognised as current assets, corresponding to fair value.

85 FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2016
On 31 December 2016, the registered share capital consisted of 190,000,000 shares, of which 11,229,432 were ordinary shares of Class A and 168,770,568 ordinary shares of Class B, and 10,000,000 preference shares. Balder carried out a directed issue of 3,000,633 ordinary shares during September, which raised about SEK 681m after issue expenses. For existing ordinary shareholders, the issue implied a dilutive effect of 1.7 % of the capital. In December, a set-off issue of 4,602,515 ordinary shares was completed, which raised SEK 1,099m after issue costs. The issue implied a dilutive effect of 2.6 % of the capital for existing shareholders. After the issues and as of 31 December, the share capital in Balder thus amounted to SEK 190,000,000, distributed among 190,000,000 shares. Each Class A share carries one vote, and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote. An ordinary share entitles its holder to a dividend that is determined in due course while a preference share entitles its holder to an annual dividend of SEK 20.00 per share. All shares entitle holders to voting rights at the Annual General Meeting.
The Group has made the assessment that the outstanding preference shares constitute equity instruments. This assessment is based on the fact that both the dividend and redemption of preference shares require a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders where the ordinary shareholders have a majority. Thus for the company it is discretionary whether payment or redemption of these preference shares occurs and consequently no contractual obligation exists to pay out funds, which means that the instrument should be classified as equity.
Other contributed capital refers to equity contributed by the owners. This includes share premiums paid in connection with new issues.
Refers to currency translation differences arising due to translation of foreign operations
The item refers to cash flow hedges after tax Cask flow hedges mainly refer to interest rate hedges.
Retained earnings including net profit for the year includes profits earned in the parent company and its subsidiaries. This item also includes previous transfers to statutory reserve.
The Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting for the financial year 2016 that no dividend on ordinary shares (–) should be declared and a dividend of SEK 20.00 per share for preference shares should be declared (20.00). All issued shares are fully paid-up.
The Board has proposed that the profits at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting of SEK 11,763,021,874 shall be appropriated as follows: dividend to the preference shareholders SEK 20.00 per share, total SEK 200,000,000 and that SEK 11,563,021,874 be carried forward.

Balder is financed by equity and liabilities, where the majority of the liabilities consist of interest-bearing liabilities. The proportion of equity is impacted by the chosen level of financial risk which in turn is impacted by lenders' equity requirements for offering market-related financing. Balder's long-term goals for the capital structure are that the equity/assets ratio should not be less than 35 % over time and that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 2.0 times and that the net debt to total assets ratio should not exceed 55 %.
The Group is exposed to six different kinds of financial risks through its operations. Financial risks refer to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, refinancing risk, price risk, credit risk and currency risk. The financial policy prescribes guidelines and rules for how the financial operations shall be conducted and establishes the division of responsibilities and administrative rules. Departures from the Group's financial policy require the approval of the Board. Responsibility for the Group's financial transactions and risks is managed centrally by the parent company's financial department. Financial risk is managed at a portfolio level. Financial transactions shall be conducted based on an assessment of the Group's overall needs relating to liquidity, financing and interest risk.
Financial policy goals:
The goals are followed up regularly in reports to the Board prior to presentation of the company's interim reports.
Balder has obligations to its financiers in the form of financial key ratios, so-called covenants. At year-end, Balder had financing obligations of an interest coverage ratio of 1.5 times, an equity/assets ratio of 25 % and a loan-to-value ratio of 65 %. All covenants were met at year-end. Sato also has covenants in its loan agreements and they are a consolidated solvency ratio of 70 %, an interest coverage ratio of 1.8 times and proportion of assets that should be unsecured of at least 35 % in 2016, at least 40 % in 2017 and at least 42.5 % in 2018. At year-end, the proportion of unsecured assets in Sato 53.1 %, the consolidated solvency ratio was 54.3 % and interest coverage ratio 4.4 times.

The Group's goal as regards the capital structure is to secure the Group's ability to continue its operations, so that it can continue to generate a return to shareholders and value for other stakeholders.
The tables on the right above show the cash flow per year as regards financial liabilities assuming the current size of the Group. The cash flow refers to interest expenses, amortisation, trade payables and settlement of other financial liabilities. Net financial items have been calculated based on the Group's average interest less interest income.
Refinancing occurs on a regular basis, so no interest expense for a longer period than 10 years is indicated.
Liquidity risk refers to the risk of a lack of sufficient cash and cash equivalents to be able to fulfil the company's payment obligations re-
lating to operating costs, interest, amortisation and dividend on preference shares. According to the financial policy, there should always be sufficient cash in hand and guaranteed credit facilities to cover the day-to-day liquidity requirements. Regardless of long-term goals, the Board can decide to temporarily boost liquidity, for example, to be better prepared for major transactions. On the closing date, Balder's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,942m (1,339). Balder's financial policy, which is updated at least once each year, prescribes guidelines and rules for how borrowing should be conducted. The overall objective of financial management is to use borrowing to safeguard the supply of capital to the company in the short and long run, to adapt the financial strategy and management of financial risks to the company's business so that a long-term and stable capital structure is achieved and maintained and to achieve the best possible net financial income/expense within given risk limits.
Refinancing risk refers to the risk that Balder may not be able to obtain refinancing in the future or only at a significantly increased cost. At year-end, Balder had credit facilities of SEK 4,827 (4,745), of which SEK 4,827m (4,545) were unutilised. Balder also has credit facilities that fully cover future payments for ongoing construction projects. Balder works continually on raising new loans and on renegotiating existing loans. Over time, 50 % of the loan portfolio should have a credit term of more than two years and not more than 35 % of the loans should mature during a single year.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in cash flow and earnings due to changes in interest rates. The key factor affecting interest rate risk is the interest rate refixing period. Long interest rate refixing periods ensure predictability in cash flow but in most cases also mean higher interest expenses. The Group's interest rate exposure is centralised, which means that the central finance function is responsible for identifying and managing this exposure. The interest rate risk shall be managed using risk hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate ceilings and interest rate floors. The overriding key ratio used is the interest coverage ratio. On each measurement date, the interest coverage ratio shall exceed 2.0 times. To manage the interest risk cost-effectively, an assessment of the interest rate risk is made when raising loans with short interest rate refixing periods based on the Group's overall loan portfolio. Interest rate derivative transactions are carried out as required to achieve the desired interest risk in the overall borrowing.
Balder has mainly used swaps and interest rate ceilings to manage its interest rate risk, which matures between 2017 and 2026. Fluctuations in market interest rates give rise to theoretical surpluses or deficits in respect of these financial instruments, which do not directly affect cash flow. Derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet and changes in value are recognised in the income statement. Derivatives are measured based on quoted prices in the market. The changes in value during 2016 amounted to SEK –114m (227). The fair value of financial instruments is based on measurements by the intermediating credit institutions. The reasonability of the measurements has been tested by engaging another credit institution to value similar instruments at the end of the reporting period, see sensitivity analysis on the previous page. Sato's interest rate derivatives meet hedge accounting requirements, as the term of the derivatives is matched with the underlying financing. This means that the change in value of the derivatives is recognised in comprehensive income.
Balder owns properties in Norway, Denmark, Finland and through Sato in St Petersburg. External financing occurs in local currency as far as possible. However, currency risk arises as the value of the assets in local currency is greater than the liabilities. Apart from the liabilities in local currency, Balder has basis swaps, which further limit this exposure. At year-end, there were basis swaps for DKK 400m and EUR 152m and the fair value of these amounted to SEK –54m.
Balder's income is affected by the occupancy rate for its properties, the level of market-related rents and customers' payment capacity. A +/– 1 percentage point change in the rent level or the economic occupancy rate has an effect on profit before tax of +/– SEK 58m and +/– 61m respectively.
Trade receivables
The risk that the Group's customers will not fulfil their obligations, i.e. that payment will not be received for trade receivables, constitutes a customer credit risk. The credit of the Group's customers is assessed by obtaining information about the customers' financial position from various credit rating agencies.
An estimate of the credit risk is made in conjunction with new leases and conversion of premises for existing customers. Bank guarantees, advance rental deposits or other security are required for customers with low creditworthiness or unsatisfactory credit histories.
Credit is monitored continually to follow developments in the creditworthiness of customers.
Balder's financial operations give rise to credit risk exposure. The risk is mainly counterparty risk in connection with receivables from banks and other counterparties that arise in the trading of derivative instruments. Balder's
financial policy includes special counterparty rules which stipulate the maximum credit exposure for different counterparties.
At year-end, Balder had binding loan agreements with credit institutions totalling SEK 49,580m (41,063). Loans are raised in Swedish kronor, Danish kroner, Norwegian kroner and euro. At year-end, loans in Danish kroner amounted to DKK 2,381m, loans in Norwegian kroner to NOK 481m and loans in euro amounted to EUR 2,206m. The credit agreements mainly consist of bilateral contracts with Nordic banks as well as a commercial paper programme for SEK 5,827m (3,827). On 31 December, the outstanding commercial paper volume was SEK 3,002m (2,680). Net interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and financial investments of SEK 1,592m (1,025) amounted to SEK 47,988m (40,038).
Agreements can be divided into four categories:
Interest-bearing liabilities for the most part are formally current but are non-current in character, as they are continually extended. From 2016, the interest bearing liabilities that formally mature within one year and one year of agreed amortisation are recognised as current interest-bearing liabilities.
In certain cases, the security is augmented by guarantees relating to interest coverage ratios, equity/assets ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Balder satisfied all of its guarantees at year-end. Credit agreements contain customary termination conditions.
The average fixed credit term in loan agreements amounted to 4.2 years (4.4) on 31 December 2016. The maturity structure of loan agreements, presented in the table showing the loan terms, indicates when loan agreements are due for renegotiation or repayment. The average effective interest on the closing date amounted to 2.1 % (2.2) including the effect of accrued interest from Balder's interest rate derivatives. The average interest rate refixing period on the same date was 2.4 years (2.9). The proportion of loans with interest dates during the coming 3-year period amounted to 66 % (64).
The fair value of financial liabilities, which are not derivative instruments has been estimated by discounting the future cash flow using the current market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used in the estimation of fair value is in the range 1.3 and 3.0 %.

fixed interest rate of 1.24 % and EUR 500m was issued with a term of 8 years at a fixed interest rate of 2.00 %. Balder issued bonds in Euro, in order to create a natural hedge of the currency risk that Balder has due to owning assets in Denmark and Finland. The liquidity will mainly be used to amortise secured debt with shorter maturities. Otherwise, there were no events of significant importance for Fastighets AB
Balder's position that occurred after the end of the reporting period.

Balder reports its properties according to the fair value method which means that changes in value are recognised in the income statement. Thus the results can be affected significantly.
Balder performs an internal valuation of the properties in connection with each quarterly report. In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued during the year.
Taxes
Balder has loss carry-forwards at its disposal, which it is estimated can be utilised against future profits, under current tax rules.
However, Balder cannot provide any guarantees that current or new tax rules will not restrict the possibilities of utilising the loss carry-forwards.
The accounting standard IFRS 3 contains a rule that acquisitions must be classified as business combinations or asset acquisitions, which means that an individual assessment must be made of each particular transaction. The assessments of acquisitions made during the year resulted in all transactions being classified as asset acquisitions. During the previous year, acquisition of Sato Oyj was classified as a business combination.

Our audit report was submitted on 31 March 2017 Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB
Helén Olsson Svärdström Authorised Public Accountant
We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements of Fastighets AB Balder (publ) for 2016. The company's annual accounts and consolidated financial statements are included in pages 59-93 of this document.
In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2016 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2016 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements.
We therefore recommend that the annual meeting of shareholders adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the statements of comprehensive income and financial position for the Group.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibility according to these standards is described in more detail in the Auditor's Responsibility section below. We are independent in relation to the parent company and the Group according to generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden and in other respects have fulfilled our professional ethical responsibilities according to these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements In particular, we assessed the risk of errors in the areas, which are influenced to a greater extent by management's estimates and assumptions. One such area, for example, is the estimates and projections about future events that are made to determine the fair value of the Group's investment properties, which are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We tailored our audit to perform a proper review to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
The Group's operations are conducted in five countries and the properties are owned by separate companies, which through centralised accounting functions and uniform routines are compiled in sub-groups. The Finnish sub-group Sato Oyj and the Finnish, Danish and Norwegian companies are audited by local unit audit teams, which report to the group audit team.
In cases where the unit auditors performed work of material importance for our audit of the Group, we evaluate in our capacity as group auditors the need and degree of involvement in the work of the local unit auditors to determine whether sufficient audit evidence has been obtained as the basis for our opinions in the auditor's report for the Group.
The audit of the sub-group Sato Oyj was performed by KPMG Finland. According to generally accepted auditing standards, it is the responsibility of the group auditor to ensure that the unit auditors, have performed the right work and with sufficiently high quality regarding the identified audit risks. Since Sato Oyj accounts for a substantial part of the Balder Group and the group audit and since we and the unit auditors are not part of the same network, this task is extra important. We have therefore drawn up special instructions to KPMG Finland and ensured via continual communication and meetings as well as written confirmations that they understood and considered the instructions. We have read, discussed and evaluated the risk assessment and materiality assessment that the unit auditor planned for and also used in the audit. We also visited KPMG Finland and reviewed significant audit items.
Apart from the parent company accounts and consolidated financial statements, the Swedish companies were also audited by the group audit team. All in all, this means that we have assured ourselves that there is sufficient evidence for our Group audit and audit report.
The scope and direction of the audit was influenced by our assessment of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including for the consolidated financial statements as a whole. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
We chose total assets as a benchmark of our overall assessment of materiality for the financial statements as a whole, given that the value of the investment properties has a significant impact and significance for the Group's financial position, and constitutes a key audit matter for the audit. We also defined a specific materiality for the audit of the profit from property management including the working capital related balance sheet items.
Key audit matters are matters which, in our professional judgment were the most significant for the audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of, and in forming our opinion about, the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements as a whole, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We refer to the Report of the Board of Directors, description of accounting principles in Note 1, the Balder Group's summary of Key estimates and assumptions in Note 30 and Note 13, Investment properties.
Investment properties were recognised at a fair value of SEK 86,177m on 31 December 2016 and account for a significant part of the Balder Group's balance sheet.
Fair value of the Group's property holdings is based on internal calculations. The investment method is mainly used. The comparative method is used for some of the Finnish holdings or alternatively, the cost method. To quality-assure the internal valuations, external valuations were obtained for about 40 per cent of the property portfolio.
The significance of the estimates and assumptions included in determining fair value, together with the fact that only a small percentage difference in the individual properties calculation parameters can lead to significant errors, means that the valuation of investment properties is a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included a review of the valuation models applied by the Balder Group.
We allowed our valuation specialists to review and assess the valuation models, the mathematical accuracy and reasonableness of the assumptions made.
Our work focused on the largest investment properties, the most significant assumptions and the properties where there were the largest variations in value compared to previous quarters. In cases where the assumptions and parameters deviated from our initial expectations, these deviations were discussed with the Group's representatives and, if necessary, supplementary documentation was obtained.
Finally, we checked that the models used and that the assumptions and sensitivity analyses Balder made were properly described in Note 13.
We refer to the Report of the Board of Directors, description of accounting principles in Note 1 and Note 13, Investment properties.
During the year, a number of transactions took place which in respect of the amount and contractual terms were particularly important to consider in the audit. In the case of each transaction, we estimated that the accounting treatment was in accordance with Balder's accounting principles and IFRS.
For all significant acquisitions and divestments, we obtained and reviewed the underlying agreements and terms of entry. Furthermore, we examined the calculations, to ensure that pro forma statements, entry balances and, where appropriate that settlement notes were in accordance with the agreement and that the transaction was recognised correctly.
We followed up that the property transactions were correctly recognised and disclosed in the annual accounts.
This document also contains other information than the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements and is found on pages 2-58 and 105-111, respectively. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for this other information.
Our opinion on the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements accounts does not cover this other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion regarding this other information.
In connection with our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially inconsistent with the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements. In this procedure we also consider the knowledge otherwise obtained during the audit and assess whether the information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we, based on the work performed concerning this information, conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements and that they give a fair presentation in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and, concerning the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
In preparing the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the assessment of the company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. They disclose, as applicable, matters related to the ability to continue as a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is however not applied if the Board of Directors and the Managing Director intends to liquidate the company, to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee shall, without prejudice to the Board of Director's responsibilities and tasks in general, among other things oversee the company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated financial statement as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden 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 annual accounts and consolidated financial statements. A further description of our responsibility for the audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements is available on Revisorsnämndens website www.revisorsinspektionen.se/rn/showdocument/documents/rev_dok/revisors_ansvar.pdf.
This description is part of the auditor's report.
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Fastighets AB Balder (publ) for the year 2016 and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss.
We recommend that the Annual General Meeting allocate the profit in accordance with the proposal in the Report of the Board of Directors and discharge the members of the Board and the Managing Director from liability for the financial year.
We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibility in this respect in described in further detail in the section Auditor's responsibility. We are independent in relation to the parent company and the Group according to generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden and in other respects have fulfilled our professional ethical responsibilities according to these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for allocating the company's profit or loss. In connection with a proposal for dividend, this involves, inter alia, an assessment of whether the dividend is defensible in view of the requirements imposed by the type, scale and risks of the operations on the size of the parent company's and the Group's equity need to strengthen the balance sheet, liquidity and financial position generally.
The Board is responsible for the company's organisation and administration of the company's affairs. This involves, among other things, continually assessing the financial situation of the company and the Group and ensuring that the company's organisation is designed so that the accounting, management of assets and the company's financial affairs in other respects are controlled in a secure manner.
The Managing Director shall manage the ongoing administration according to the Board of Directors' guidelines and instructions and among other matters take measures that are necessary to fulfil the company's accounting in accordance with law and handle the management of assets in a secure manner.
Our objective concerning the audit of the administration, and thereby our opinion about discharge from liability, is to obtain audit evidence to assess with a reasonable degree of assurance whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director in any material respect:
• has undertaken any action or been guilty of any omission which can give rise to liability to the company,
• or in any other way has acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.
Our objective concerning the audit of the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and thereby our opinion about this, is to assess with reasonable degree of assurance whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect actions or omissions that can give rise to liability to the company, or that the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss are not in accordance with the Companies Act.
A further description of our responsibility for the audit of the administration is available on Revisorsnämndens website www.revisorsinspektionen.se/ rn/show-document/documents/rev_dok/revisors_ansvar.pdf. This description is part of the auditor's report.

Authorised Public Accountant
Corporate governance in Swedish listed companies is governed by a combination of written rules and practice, by which the owners directly and indirectly control the company. The rules and regulations have been developed through legislation, recommendations, the Swedish Corporate Governance Code and through self-regulation. The Code is based on the principle comply or explain, which means that all the rules do not always need be complied with if there is a reason and it is explained.
Some of the Code's principles aim to create a good basis for exercise of an active and responsible ownership role and to create a well-adjusted balance of power between owners, the Board and the executive management, which Balder views as a natural element of the principles for the operations. The Code also means that certain information should be made available on the company's website. The Swedish Corporate Governance Code is administered by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board and is available on www.bolagsstyrning.se where the Swedish model for corporate governance is also described. Balder applies the Code, which is intended to serve as part of the self-regulation within the Swedish business community.
The company's name is Fastighets AB Balder and the company is a public company (publ). The registered office of the company is in Gothenburg.
The company's objects shall be directly or indirectly, through wholly-owned or part-owned companies, to acquire, manage, own and divest real property and securities and carry on other activities connected therewith.
The articles of association, which are available on Balder's website, among other things, contain information regarding share capital, number of shares, class of shares and preferential rights, number of Board members and auditors as well as provisions regarding notice and agenda for the annual general meeting.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is the company's highest decision-making body in which the shareholders exercise their rights to decide on the affairs of the company. The Board and auditors of the company are elected by the AGM according to the proposal of the nomination committee.
The AGM also passes resolutions regarding amendments of the articles of association and regarding change in the share capital. To participate in passing resolutions, the shareholder must be present at the meeting, either personally or by proxy. In addition, the shareholder must be registered in the share register on a certain date prior to the meeting and notification of participation must be given to the company within a certain determined period. Shareholders who wish to have a special matter dealt with at the AGM can normally request this if the request is made in good time to Balder's Board of Directors prior to the meeting.
Resolutions at general meetings of shareholders are normally passed by simple majority. In certain questions, the Swedish Companies Act prescribes that proposals must be approved by a larger proportion of the shares represented and cast at the meeting.
At the AGM on 10 May 2016 at the Elite Park Avenue Hotel in Gothenburg, 337 shareholders were represented, holding about 77 % of the total number of votes. All Board members and the company's auditor were present at the general meeting. The AGM adopted the financial statements for 2015 and discharged the Board and CEO from liability for the financial year 2015.
The following resolutions were passed by the AGM on 10 May 2016;

The Balder share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap. At year-end, the number of shareholders amounted to 22,000. Balder carried out a directed issue of 3,000,633 ordinary shares during September, which raised about SEK 681m after issue expenses. For existing ordinary shareholders, the issue implied a dilutive effect of 1.7 % of the capital. In December, a set-off issue of 4,602,515 ordinary shares was completed, which raised SEK 1,099m after issue expenses. The issue implied a dilutive effect of 2.6 % of the capital for existing shareholders. Balder's share capital after the new issues and on 31 December 2016 amounted to SEK 190,000,000 distributed among 190,000,000 shares. Each share has a quota value of SEK 1.00, whereof 11,229,432 shares are of Class A, 168,770,568 of Class B and 10,00,000 preference shares. Each Class A share carries one vote, and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote. Each shareholder at the general meeting is entitled to vote for the number of shares held and represented by him/her. Further information regarding shares and share capital is found on pages 13–15, The share and owners.
The Board of Directors is elected by the AGM and according to the articles of association shall consist of at least three and at most seven members. The members are elected at the AGM for the period until the end of the first AGM that is held after the members were elected. During 2016, the Board was composed of five members and is responsible for the company's organisation and administration (more information about the company's Board is available on www. balder.se.). The Board works according to an established formal work plan with instructions concerning division of responsibilities between the Board and the CEO.
New Board members receive an introduction to the company and its operations and participate in the stock exchange's training according to the stock exchange agreement. The Board subsequently receives continual information, including about regulatory changes and such issues concerning the operations and the Board's responsibility in a listed company.
The rules of the Swedish Companies

The areas discussed and evaluated in 2016, related to the Board's composition, competencies, efficiency and focus areas going forward. The areas covered by the Board evaluation may vary from one year to another to reflect the development of the Board's work.

The remuneration committee shall monitor and evaluate the application of the guidelines for remuneration and levels of compensation to senior executives that the AGM has determined and shall also draw up proposals for new guidelines for principles of remuneration and other terms of employment. Before the resolution of the AGM, the Board shall propose principles for remuneration and other terms of employment for the CEO and other senior executives. Based on the resolution of the AGM, it is the duty of the remuneration committee to decide on remuneration to the CEO and other officers. The remuneration committee is composed of all independent Board members and should meet at least once every year. For further information see Note 4, Employees and personnel expenses.
The audit committee shall be responsible for preparing the Board's work by quality-assuring the company's financial reporting, assisting the nomination committee in drawing up proposals for auditors and their fees and ensuring a qualified independent audit of the company.

Nor may they deal with issues regarding agreements between the company and a third party, if they have a material interest that can conflict with that of the company. Lawsuits or other actions are on a par with the agreements referred to above. Where applicable, it is incumbent on the Board member or CEO to disclose if a disqualification situation would arise.
The AGM resolves on the procedure for election of the Board, and when applicable, auditors. The AGM 2016 resolved that a nomination committee should be established before the 2017 AGM in order to submit proposals on the number of Board members, election of Board members including the Chairman of the Board and remuneration for Board members as well as for auditors.
The nomination committee's proposals shall be announced no later than in conjunction with the notice convening the AGM. All shareholders are given the opportunity to submit nomination proposals to the nomination committee.
The AGM 2016 adopted the nomination committee's proposal that the nomination committee should be composed of one representative for each of the two largest shareholders or ownership spheres in addition to Lars Rasin, who represents the other shareholders. The chairman of the nomination committee shall be Lars Rasin. The names of the other two members and the owners they represent shall be announced not later than six months before the AGM. The nomination committee's term of office
extends until a new nomination committee has been appointed. If Lars Rasin resigns as chairman of the nomination committee, the company's Chairman shall appoint a new chairman of the nomination committee until the next general meeting of the company.
The nomination committee ahead of the AGM 2017 is composed of Jesper Mårtensson, representing Erik Selin Fastigheter AB, Rikard Svensson, representing Arvid Svensson Invest AB, and chairman Lars Rasin.
The nomination committee has decided to propose the re-election of the current Board members Christina Rogestam, Fredrik Svensson, Sten Dunér, Anders Wennergren and Erik Selin. It is proposed to re-elect Christina Rogestam as Chairman of the Board.

More information about the company's CEO and Management is found on page 104.
The company's annual accounts and the administration of the CEO and Board are reviewed by the company's auditor who submits an audit report for the financial year to the AGM.
The auditor reports to the Board on his audit plan for the year and his views on the accounts and annual accounts.
Öhrlings PriceWaterhouseCoopers AB was elected at the AGM on 7 May 2013 as auditor for a period of four years until the AGM 2017. The auditor in charge is Helén Olsson Svärdström
Ahead of the AGM on 11 May 2017, the Board of Directors proposes:
Balder issues interim reports for the operations three times per year; on 31 March, on 30 June and on 30 September. In addition to this, Balder's reports its full-year accounts on 31 December in its year-end report and publishes its annual accounts in good time before the AGM.
The annual accounts for 2016 are now available for distribution and on Balder's website. All documents as well as press releases and presentations in connection with reports are available on www.balder.se.
The Board is responsible for the internal control under the Swedish Companies Act and under the Code. This account has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Code and is thus limited to internal control in respect of the financial reporting. Financial reporting refers to interim reports, year-end reports and annual accounts. This report does not constitute a part of the formal annual accounts.
Balder's internal control follows an established framework, Internal Control – Integrated Framework, which consists of five components. The components are control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication as well as monitoring.
The control environment constitutes the basis for the internal control over financial reporting. A good control environment is built on clearly defined and communicated decision-making procedures and guidelines between different levels of the organisation, which together with the corporate culture and shared values establish the basis for managing Balder in a professional manner. Balder's internal control is based on a decentralised organisation with 1,220 properties, each with its own profit centre, which is administered from regional offices. To support the control environment and provide necessary guidance to different officers, there are a number of documented governing documents such as internal policies, guidelines, manuals, the formal work plan of the Board, decision-making procedures, rules for approvals as well as accounting and reporting instructions. Governing documents are updated as required in
order to always reflect applicable laws and rules.
The focus is on identifying the risks that are considered most significant in Balder's profit/loss and balance sheet items in the financial reporting and what measures can reduce these risks. The risk management is built into the above mentioned document for the control environment.
Different methods are used to measure and minimise risks and to ensure that the risks that the company is exposed to are handled according to Balder's current policies and rules. The Board conducts an annual review of the internal control in accordance with the formal work plan of the Board. The risk assessment is continually updated to cover changes that have a material impact on the internal control over financial reporting.
The most significant risks that have been identified in connection with the financial reporting are errors in the accounts and in the valuation of the property portfolio, deferred tax, interest-bearing liabilities, refinancing, tax and value added tax as well as the risk of fraud, loss or embezzlement of assets.
A number of control activities are built-in to ensure that the financial reporting provides a true and fair view at each point of time. These activities involve different levels in the organisation, from the Board and company management to other employees. The control activities are aimed at preventing, discovering and correcting errors and deviations. The activities consist of approval and reporting of commercial transactions, follow up of
decisions and approved policies of the Board, general and application-specific IT controls, checking of external counterparties and follow up of results at various levels in the organisation. Other activities are follow up of the reporting procedures including the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements and their conformity with applicable rules and regulations, approval of reporting tools, accounting and valuation principles as well as power of attorney and authority structures.
Balder's regional offices participate in the basic control, follow up and analysis in each region. To ensure the quality of the regions' financial reporting, an evaluation is made in conjunction with the Group's controllers.
The follow up at a regional level combined with the controls and analyses at a Group level are an important part of the internal control, to ensure that the financial reporting essentially does not contain any errors.
Balder has determined how information and communication in respect of the financial reporting should occur so that the company's information disclosure should take place in an effective and correct manner. Balder has guidelines for how the financial information should be communicated between the Management and other employees. Guidelines, updates and changes are made available and known to the employees concerned by means of oral and written information and on Balder's Intranet. The Board receives further information about risk management, internal control and financial reporting from meetings and reports from the company's auditors.
There is an appropriate process for continual follow up and annual evaluation of the observance of internal policies, guidelines, manuals and codes and of the appropriateness and functionality of the established control activities. Different methods are used to measure and minimise risks and to ensure that the risks that the company is exposed to are handled according to Balder's current policies and rules. The Group's accounting and controller function has the day-to-day responsibility in order to follow up and ensure reporting to the company management regarding possible shortcomings. Follow-up occurs on both a property level and a Group level.
The Board regularly evaluates the information submitted by the company management and the auditors. The company's auditors report on at least one occasion per year their observations from the audit and their opinion about the internal control over financial reporting.
Balder has a decentralised organisation that manages 1,220 properties from regional offices. Financial operations and the finance function for the entire Group are conducted in the parent company.
There is a controller function in the parent company which monitors the administration of the regional offices and the financial operations in the parent company. Balder's size and decentralised organisation together with the controller function in the parent company mean that a special internal audit function is not motivated at present.

To the Annual General Meeting of Fastighets AB Balder (publ) Corporate identity no. 556525-6905
The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance report for 2016 on pages 97-101 and for ensuring that it is prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
Our examination has been conducted in accordance with FAR's auditing standard RevU 16 The auditor's examination of the corporate governance statement. This means that our review of the corporate governance report has another aim and direction, and is substantially less exhaustive in scope, than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. We believe that this review provides us with a sufficient basis for our opinion.
Disclosures according to Chapter 6 Section 6, second paragraph, items 2–6 of the Annual Accounts Act and Chapter 7 Section 31, second paragraph of the same Act are consistent with the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements and are in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act.
A corporate governance statement has been prepared.
