Castellum – a short description

Business concept

Castellum's business concept is to develop and add value to its real estate portfolio, focusing on the best possible earnings and asset growth, by offering customized commercial properties, through a strong and clear presence in five Swedish growth regions - Greater Gothenburg, the Öresund Region, Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen and Eastern Götaland.

Income from property management per share

Focus on cash flow

The objective is to focus on cash fl ow growth, which along with a stable capital structure provide the preconditions for good growth in the company, while at the same time offering shareholders a competitive dividend. The objective is an annual growth in cash fl ow, i.e. income from property management per share, of at least 10%. In order to achieve this objective, investments of at least SEKm 1,000 per year will be made. All investments will contribute to the objective of growth in income from property management within 1-2 years and have a potential asset growth of at least 10%.

Real estate value by category

Real estate portfolio with commercial focus

Castellum is one of the major listed real estate companies in Sweden. The fair value of the real estate portfolio amounts to approx. SEK 29 billion and comprises premises for offi ce, retail, warehouse, logistics and industrial purposes. Within each of the regions where Castellum is present focus is placed on market areas and sub-markets where suffi cient volume can be found to provide the prerequisites for good business opportunities by rational management and strong presence.

Investments, i.e. enhancement and development of existing properties, acquisitions of new properties and new construction, are carried out in areas with high growth rates where opportunities are found for increased occupancy rates, increased rental levels and improved cash fl ows.

Financing 31-12 2009

Stable capital structure

Castellum's strategy is to have a stable capital structure, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.

Castellum's dividend policy is that at least 60% of income from property management after full tax deduction will be distributed, however investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and fi nancial position in general will be taken into account.

52%

Customers

Good and long-term customer relations and hence satisfi ed customers is a prerequisite for creating long-term growth in Castellum. This is achieved by providing effi cient and well situated premises meeting the customers' needs regarding both appropriate premises as well as service.

Castellum has just approx 4,400 commercial contracts, with good risk exposure regarding geography, type of premises, length of contracts and fields of business of the customer.

4,400

Decentralized and small scale organization

Castellum's operations are run in a small-scale organization comprising six subsidiaries which own and manage the properties under their own brands. By having local roots the subsidiaries have close relations with the customers, and good knowledge of the market situation and rental development within each market area. Property management is mainly carried out by own personnel.

Castellum has skilled and committed employees, which is achieved as the group shall be an attractive workplace with good development possibilities. At the turn of the year the Castellum group had 227 employees and each subsidiary has about 35 employees.

CEO's comments

The fi rst part of 2009 was unique; the global fi nance crisis had just burst with a non-functioning credit market as a result. Central banks around the world, reduced their key interest rates to levels not seen before, in order to prevent a fi nancial meltdown and to stop the dramatic recession. Sweden with its high export dependency, more or less came to a halt, order intakes were at a low and notices of redundancy at a high, with a decline in the GNP as a consequence. Worst affected was the manufacturing industry, while the infl uence on the service sector was more limited. Towards late spring and above all the summer, the fi rst signs of a change were seen, signs which became more evident during the last part of 2009.

Paradoxically, cash fl ow in the real estate business has been strong, mainly thanks to interest rate reductions and index adjustments for 2008 year's infl ation. Notices of redundancy and bankruptcies have been less than feared, keeping rental levels stable. The problem for the business has rather been capital structure and fi nancing.

For Castellum, from an income from property management and a cash fl ow point of view, 2009 turned out to be a good year. The targeted 10% growth was reached with abundance – SEKm 1,130 in income from property management and 16% growth. Net operating income, i.e. rental income minus property costs increased by SEKm 80 and interest costs decreased by the same amount. 2009 was also the year when Castellum's income from property management for the fi rst time passed the SEKm 1,000 mark and the company could release its 50th consecutive report (interim reports included) with uninterrupted growth in income from property management since it was listed on the stock exchange.

The growth has also made possible a proposed dividend of SEK 3.50 per share, an increase by 11%.

The evident lack of capital and fear for risk during above all the fi rst six months led to low liquidity on the real estate market with decreasing property prices as a result. Even though liquidity increased during the latter part of the year, with a stabilization of price levels, the depreciation in value of Castellum's real estate portfolio amounted to SEKm 1,000, or -3%. Result after changes in value and tax totalled SEKm 160.

In spite of a turbulent environment and decreasing real estate values, Castellum's position is very strong. We maintain our good relations with our fi nanciers and have not experienced any diffi culties to obtain new credits. Despite the last years' extensive investments, depreciations and dividends, the loan to value ratio is 52%, a low value.

The total share yield reached 25% in the year, an excellent result, but still only half of the total yield at the Stockholm stock exchange. One could notice that Castellum's total yield for 2008 was -5%, compared to -39% for the Stockholm stock exchange. An interesting comparison is the total share yield over 10 years; this shows an annual average of 16% for Castellum as opposed to 2% for the Stockholm stock exchange.

So, what to expect of 2010?

Even if a rebound cannot be ruled out, the most plausible scenario seems to be a slow recovery of the Swedish economy. In an international perspective Sweden has strong Government fi nances, high private consumption and an effective and fl exible industry and commerce.

In this scenario the rental income will decrease marginally. Based on the year's net lease, we can already now see that the vacancies will increase slightly, mainly towards the end of the year. Limited new construction and relatively low vacancy rates make me conclude that I don't foresee a signifi cant pressure on rental levels in Castellums submarkets.

In contrast to the real estate costs, which I believe will only vary marginally, interest costs will increase considerably. Short fi xed interests are at the moment at "crisis level" and will with high probability be raised to "recession level". The big question is when and by how much. Over time I am not afraid of higher nominal interest rates, such interest rates are rather a sign of infl ation and economic growth in the industry, which in no way is negative for a real estate company.

Regarding real estate values of commercial properties, I believe that most of the value depreciations already lie behind us. A slight improvement of the credit market, in combination with a good return on an infl ation proof asset at a price below new construction cost, should improve the asset, properties.

The risk involved in dealing with properties, that is, not being able to meet the customer's expectations and failing to attract new customers. With fantastic employees, knowledgeable and dedicated, that risk in Castellum is limited. To all our staff I would like to express my gratitude for a very good work during the past year.

There is an environmental task group in common for the whole Castellum group, which meets regularly in order to share experiences and to monitor and learn from the development taking place in the world at large. Education and training within the environmental fi eld is continuous, with the aim to improve skills and commitment. All employees have received basic education and training in the environmental fi eld. Most employees have completed training in specifi c areas, such as energy matters.

Consumption and emission of carbon dioxide per sq.m. and year

The energy consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide per sq.m. has been calculated on the consumption adjusted for degree day statistics, vacancy and cooling needs.

Communication and co-operation

As a driving force for change, communication about the Castellum group's environmental work is continuously carried out through customer visits and web pages, among other things. Co-operation with many parties is carried out to gain knowledge about new technologies and to share experiences. Castellum is for instance active in "Beställargruppen för lokaler" within the Swedish Energy Agency, and in the Ecocycle Council, an association within the Swedish building and real estate sector.

Two of Castellum's subsidiaries, Fastighets AB Brostaden and Harry Sjögren AB, have, as the fi rst and third company in Europe respectively, been appointed Green Building Corporate Partner, meaning that the energy consumption has been reduced by at least 25% in at least 30% of the real estate portfolio. The appointment is a recognition for the work with energy savings which has been carried out during the last few years. Within Castellum there are a total of 80 Green Building classifi ed buildings, comprising 398 thousand square meters.

In 2008 Eklandia Fastighets AB completed a property, which during the year has received Sweden's fi rst BREEAM certifi cate. BREEAM is a method for environmental certifi cation of real estates, taking an overall view of environmental and sustainability issues of the property.

Energy declarations

In 2009 Castellum has completed energy declarations for more than 400 properties totalling 1,838,000 sq. m, in accordance with established legislation. In the energy declaration the property's energy consumption is compared to the consumption for corresponding new constructions as well as for similar properties. Castellum's average consumption amounted to 110 kWh/sq. m, which can be compared to 106 kWh/sq. m in new production and to the interval 137-189 kWh/sq. m in similar properties.

Accordingly, Castellum's consumption compared to an average of similar properties was 68%, a saving of 97,000 MWh on an annual basis.

More effi cient energy use

Castellum is striving towards more effi cient energy utilization through for instance adaptation of heating and ventilation according to the users' need, extension of computerized control systems for heating and ventilation and motion controlled lighting. Castellum follows up and analyzes all energy consumption in a common follow-up system.

Castellum's emissions of carbon dioxide during 2009 are estimated to 17,990 metric tons. With the aim to reduce emissions, a work is going on to remove fossil fuels, i.e. convert oil and gas heating. During the last 10 years, heating in properties of 395,000 sq. m have been converted from oil to district heating. Ground heating/cooling is installed in 20 properties totallling 99,000 sq. m.

As a user of district heating, Castellum is dependent on the district heating plant's fuel mix, when it comes to emissions of carbon dioxide. Today Castellum makes use of 22 district heating facilities, amounting to 78% of the Castellum group's total carbon dioxide emissions. In 2009, Castellum has contacted those district heating suppliers which show the highest emissions per kWh, both to demonstrate how Castellum's environmental impact is depending on their work, but also to learn about their plans on how to reduce their emissions. Out of Castellum's carbon dioxide emissions, 7% is possible to infl uence directly, namely emissions from oil and transports, while the rest can only be

infl uenced indirectly. Castellum has chosen not to buy emission rights Distribution of emissions of carbon dioxide corresponding to the company's emissions. Instead, Castellum is investing in the ongoing work to further reduce the direct energy consumption.

In 2009, the work has continued to virtualize the group's servers. All in all 40 servers have been replaced by 7, and as a consequence the servers' energy consumption has been reduced by 90%.

Since 2001, only electricity labeled "environmental friendly" is used by the Castellum group.

Known and continuously improved status of the properties

An environmental inventory has been completed for 99% of all properties owned for at least one year. The inventory covers environmental and health risks such as hazardous substances, ground pollution, moist/ mould and operations requiring special permits. During 2009, environmental inventories have been carried out for 468,000 sq. m, in part by using the method "Environmental status, buildings".

Environmental risk in Castellum's real estate portfolio is considered small.

Requirements on suppliers

For larger purchases and procurements, Castellum is placing demands on the contractor's environmental and quality work. External experts are partly used to control that placed demands are followed, however there is no common system for follow up.

Real Estate Portfolio

Real estate properties in general

The real estate market, i.e. the market for sales and purchasing of real estate properties, and the rental market, i.e. the market for rental of premises (and rental levels) are both in a long term perspective depending on the development in the domestic economy.

Swedish economy

Sweden, situated in northern Europe with more than 9 million inhabitants is a country with an open and strong economy, owing to among other things a stable and transparent business climate, high level of education, healthy Government fi nances and high productivity in the industry. Sweden has during the last few years shown a positive trade balance. Sweden has a long and broad experience from international trade and international relations, which becomes evident from its relatively large share of world leading corporations, such as Ericsson, H&M, IKEA, SCA and Volvo. The high export dependency contributes to the fact that Sweden historically has shown good ability to adjust and restructure the economy to market changes.

During the last years Sweden has shown strong growth, partly as a result of global growth and increasing export. During the end of 2008 Sweden was, like the rest of the world, struck by a fi nancial crisis and a following recession. 2009 will be the fi rst year since the 1940's, when GDP decreases on a global scale; in Sweden the plunge is expected to land at roughly four percent.

The employment rate historically lags behind GDP with 6-12 months, as it takes longer time to adjust the labor force than the production. Heavy reduction in demand and production has led to an increased pressure on the companies to rationalize. The unemployment rate has increased by 1.8 percentage points from November 2008 to November 2009.

However, in comparison with a fair amount of other countries, Sweden has a good starting-point with lower public debt and budget balance.

The real estate portfolio

In Sweden there are almost three million properties with a total tax assessment value of SEKbn 5,700, of which the majority are residential properties. Out of the commercial properties in Sweden, Castellum, one of the major real estate owners in the country, is estimated to own roughly 1-2% while all of the listed Swedish real estate companies together are estimated to own roughly 10%.

Apart from the listed companies, the largest real estate owners in Sweden are publicly owned companies, as well as Swedish and foreign institutional investors. In addition, there are a large number of smaller real estate owners, such as smaller real estate and construction companies, users and private persons. Due to the scattered ownership without any dominating real estate owner, the competitors differ between different local markets.

The rental market

The rental market is mainly depending on the growth in Swedish economy, but is also affected by the amount of new construction. Economic growth normally leads to increased demand for premises and hence a decreasing number of vacancies, with a potential for increasing market rents, which in turn facilitates new construction. A stagnation in growth leads to a reversed case.

In spite of a heavily deteriorated trade outlook, demand for premises is still relatively high, although the rental process is more time consuming. Both notices of termination and bankruptcies have been less than feared.

For the time being there is no pressure on market rents on Castellum's sub-markets, an effect of a relatively high degree of occupancy rates in combination with limited new production. On the other hand, index clauses present in a majority of commercial rental agreements will lead to reduced rents during 2010 with 0.5%, as inflation in 2009 has been negative.

As rental agreements normally are signed for 3-5 years with nine months' notice of termination, changes in market rents in a short-term perspective have a relatively small impact on total rental income.

The real estate market

As a result of the turbulence in the international credit market, the transaction volume with reference to sales over SEKm 100, has decreased from approx. SEKbn 140 each year during 2006-2008 to SEKbn 30 during 2009. Despite the sharp decline in volume, Sweden had the fi fth-largest volume in Europe in 2009.

In Sweden, the three major urban regions represented 65% of the volume of transactions, Greater Stockholm for approx. 45% and Greater Gothenburg and the Öresund area for approx 10% each.

Signifi cant for the market during the year was that sales of residential portfolios and smaller transactions increased. Although a number of international actors have entered in the Swedish property market in the past it was mainly national actors who invested in 2009. The national actors accounted for 89% of the market, which can be compared with approx 75% during 2008 and 41% during 2007.

Half of the year's transactions volume were carried out during the last three months, indicating a gradually normalized market, with a stabilization of the required yield as a consequence.

Changes in value per year on properties

The gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the year was SEKm 251 (305), of which SEKm 31 (48) was leasing in connection to new construction, extension and reconstruction. Terminations amounted to SEKm 288 (221), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 31 (20), hence net leasing for the year were SEKm –37 (84). The share of terminations for renegotiation has been limited. The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income thereof is estimted to between 9-18 months.

The demand for premises is still on relatively good levels and both notices of termination and bankruptcies were less than expected. The customers solvency remains good. There is no current pressure on the rental levels in Castellums' markets at the moment due to the generally high occupancy rates together with limited production of new properties.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEKm 942 (831) corresponding to SEK 300 per sq.m. (268). The increase is chiefl y an effect of a colder year compared to last year and a higher number of started maintenance measures.

Energy consumption for heating during the period has been caluclated to 93% (85%) of a normal year according to degree day statistics. The rental losses, i.e. charged not paid rents with the risk of loss, amounted to SEKm 10 (12) corresponding to 0.4% of rental income.

Changes in value

The total change in value of Castellum's portfolio during the year amounted to SEKm –1,027 (-1,262) corresponding to 3% of the property value. The change in value consists of SEKm approx. –600 referring to a generally increased estimated market yield during the fi rst six months, approx. SEKm –500 referring to changed future cashfl ow, just over SEKm 100 referring to profi ts in projects. The change in value has been affected by SEKm 2 due to a result of properties sold.

The net appreciation in value, including this year's change, over the last property value cycle, i.e. from 2004, has been about 2% per year, which roughly corresponds to the infl ation rate.

It should be noted that, since property valuations include an uncertainty range of normally 5-10%, also the changes in value include a not insignifi cant uncertainty.

Investments

Investments and sales / year

Investments and sales / region 2009

Castellum's strategy for growth includes constant improvment and development of the real estate portfolio by new construction, reconstruction and extensions as well as acquisitions. The investments are made in order to improve cash fl ow and increase the value of the properties. New development projects are added on an ongoing basis through the acquisition of both properties with development potential and unutilized building rights.

During 2009, Castellum invested a total of SEKm 1,165 (2,738), of which SEKm 126 (1,212) were acquisitions and SEKm 1,039 (1,526) new construction, extension and reconstruction. Castellum completed major projects for a total value of over SEKm 1,000 and has ongoing projects for a total value of SEKm 1,400, of which the remaining investment volume amounts to approx. SEKm 550.

Castellum's project portfolio has a good risk exposure with many projects in several locations and with a large number of tenants.

The investment totalled SEKm 10.

Building rights and Potential Development Projects

Part of Castellum's strategy is to build new premises when this is a competitive alternative. In order to be able to offer the customer new premises with the shortest possible time for moving in, it is a competitive advantage to own building rights in attractive locations with approved plans. Castellum has 838,000 sq.m. unutilized building rights, which is 38,000 sq.m. less than previous year. For a number of the unutilized building rights there are fi nalized projects plans which can be started relatively promptly.

Unutilized building rights are valued at SEKm 860 corresponding to SEK 1,000 per sq.m. on average. Of the building rights 365,000 sq.m. corresponding to approx. SEKm 424 are reported as development projects and undeveloped land. The remaining are reported among offi ce/retail and warehouse/industrial properties since they are addititions to already developed properties.

Castellum's real estate portfolio

Castellum's portfolio in Greater Gothenburg

Greater Gothenburg

Castellum's real estate portfolio in Greater Gothenburg comprises the regions Greater Gothenburg including Alingsås plus Borås and Halmstad. These regions combined have approx. 1.2 million inhabitants, which corresponds to approx. 13% of Sweden's total population. Greater Gothenburg is one of three big-city regions in Sweden and one of the country's most important centers for transport and industry.

Greater Gothenburg is centrally located with a well developed infrastructure, including Gothenburg harbour, the airports and the highways E6 and E20, all contributing to the notion that the region is the best logistical centre in Scandinavia. Greater Gothenburg forms a large local labour market, mainly due to good communication and commuting possibilities.

As a traditional industrial city, Gothenburg has been depending on its export industry. Today, business is extensive and diversifi ed, spread over all branches, even though manufacturing industry, trade and logistics have historically been important areas. The business structure is now broader and has created growth in knowledge-intensive and hi-tech companies as well as in traditional businesses.

The Åbro district in Mölndal and Högsbo/Sisjön in the municipality of Gothenburg, together form one of Sweden's largest continuous industrial and enterprise areas.

In Borås, commerce and logistics are strong sectors, which together with textile and clothing industry create an intensive international trade, supported by the proximity to Göteborg Landvetter Airport and Port of Gothenburg.

The economy in the Halmstad region is multifaceted and dominated by small and medium-sized companies within manufacturing, service, commerce and tourism, where three fourth of the companies have less than ten employees. The region has a well developed infrastructure with road, train, air and sea connections.

Rental market

The rental market in the region has during 2009 continued to show a stable development, with maintained rental levels and low vacancies. In Gothenburg a slight increase might be noted, although from last year's record-low levels. This is true both for offi ces as well as for suitable warehouse and logistics premises.

There is no pressure on rental levels, due to low vacancy rates and limited new production, in combination with the fact that notices of termination of employment not yet have been carried out to the extent originally feared and so far mainly are affecting manufacturing.

Real estate market

In 2009 the transaction volume in Greater Gothenburg continued to diminish. The purchase sums and the very small number of transactions carried out indicate that property prices for both offi ce and warehouse/ industrial premises stabilized towards the end of the year.

Real estate transactions worth approx. SEKbn 2 were carried out in the region during 2009, which can be compared to approx. SEKbn 5 in 2008. The four largest transactions in the year accounted for half of the region's total volume. They were all offi ce properties, three of them located in central Gothenburg and one in Borås.

Of total commercial transaction volume, the category offi ce/retail amounted to approx. 87% and industry/warehouse to approx. 13%.

Rental development

Castellum's average rental level is SEK 1,245 per sq.m. for offi ce/retail and SEK 711 per sq.m. for warehouse/industrial premises. Rental levels have increased by approx. 4% in comparable portfolio compared with previous year.

The average economic occupancy rate was 94.0%, which is 1.4% units higher than previous year.

The gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the year was SEKm 42 (66), of which SEKm 5 (0) related to leasing in new construction, extension and reconstruction.

The Öresund Region

Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg, together with 22 other municipalities, form the Malmö region. Approx. one million people live in the region, or about 11% of Sweden's population. Another 2.7 million people are living on the Danish side. The entire Malmö region, together with Copenhagen, has during the last few years had a very strong progress. Castellum's real estate portfolio in the Öresund region is located in Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg.

The infrastructure in Malmö is highly developed, with the Öresund Bridge, a number of European highways, Sturup airport and the proximity to Kastrup airport, a modern harbour and good railroad connections. Structural investments in infrastructure like the Öresund bridge and the new City railroad tunnel drives the development forward. Malmö has been transformed from an industrial to a knowledge city and the business that earlier consisted of few large industrial companies has shifted and is now made up by several small enterprises in a number of branches. New establishments of industrial and warehouse premises in Malmö are now located alongside Yttre Ringvägen, while the central industrial area slowly is being transformed into residential areas.

Lund has a highly developed infrastructure with highways E22 and E6 and the airports Sturup and Kastrup close by. Lund's economy has a knowledge based profi le with many smaller research intensive companies with connections both to the university and to established companies. Several of those have emerged out of Ideon, Sweden's fi rst and largest Science Park, where the last year's new production of offi ce areas has been concentrated. The Brunnshög area is an upcoming area for exploitation, partly because of plans for the research establishment European Spallation Source (ESS) to be located to the area, with possibly up to approx. 5,000 scientists working there.

Helsingborg has a strategic location and good infrastructure, with the highways E4 and E6 and Sweden's third largest harbour for goods, all of which have transformed the city into a centre for sea and land transport. The city is a trade and logistics centre, but also food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industry are important businesses.

Rental market

After a relatively quiet fi rst six months of the year, a slightly higher activity in the rental market has been noted after the summer. However demand is somewhat different between the places. In Lund and Malmö the demand is increasing, especially on high quality offi ce premises, while Helsingborg shows good demand for industrial and logistic premises and also shortage of modern offi ce premises, centrally located.

During 2009 rental levels have been stable in the whole region, due to continuous low vacancy rates. New offi ce space in Malmö has during the last few years been produced virtually without any speculation, which has a positive infl uence on rental levels and vacancy rates. In the next few years, production of several retail and shopping areas is planned, mainly in Malmö.

Real estate market

The supply of properties has during the year been limited and the few transactions of commercial properties carried out in the region, were all carried out in the latter part of the year. Price levels on these transactions suggest that property prices for offi ce as well as for warehouse and industry properties have stabilized in the latter part of the year.

The transaction volume 2009 amounted to SEKbn 2, which can be compared to SEKbn 6 previous year. The purchasers during the year were mainly established actors in the region. The three largest transactions, together representing approx. half of the total volume, were all offi ce properties located in central Malmö.

Of total commercial transaction volume, the categories offi ces and retail amounted to approx. 90% and industry/warehouse to approx. 10%.

Castellum's portfolio in Greater Stockholm

Greater Stockholm

The Stockholm region is Sweden's largest employment area with more than two million inhabitants, or 22% of the nations total population. Castellum's region Greater Stockholm includes the municipalities of Stockholm, Botkyrka, Huddinge, Järfälla, Nacka, Sigtuna, Sollentuna and Upplands-Väsby.

Stockholm is characterized by being the nation's capital, where major political institutions as well as a large number of Swedish companies are residing. The whole region with Stockholm city, suburbs and surrounding cities is growing and under continuous progress. The region has Sweden's largest service sector spread over many business areas, making up for approx. 60% of total gross wages. Both employment and population growth in the region have during the last decade been highest in the country.

Greater Stockholm can be divided into the inner city and areas north and south of the city centre. In the northern area there are mainly service-based companies, while there is a larger share of companies dedicated to manufacturing and distribution in the south. Both in the north and the south, the increasing number of workplaces have gradually been concentrated to larger business districts.

North

Infrastructure in the northern part of Greater Stockholm is well developed with highways E4 and E18, as well as airports at Arlanda and Bromma. There are also several harbours, which to a large extent are used for passenger transportation. New businesses and growth in the northern areas have mainly been concentrated to the stretch between Stockholm and Arlanda, where a number of large business areas have been established such as Kista, parts of Sollentuna and parts of Upplands-Väsby.

Sollentuna municipality, with a strategic location between Stockholm city and Arlanda airport, consists of a number of submarkets and has expanded particularly within retail and service.

The municipalities Solna and Sundbyberg and the districts Mariehäll and Ulvsunda in Bromma are geographically concentrated with proximity to Stockholm city and have a well developed infrastructure.

The total offi ce market in the area is, next after the inner city, the largest within the entire Stockholm region and has shown strong growth in the number of employees in offi ce intensive businesses.

Kista Science City, located in Kista, is one of northern Europe's most dynamic business parks and one of the Stockholm region's largest business areas, where approx. 63,000 people work. Kista is dominated by companies operating mainly in the fi elds of information technology and telecommunication. Also the retail sector has grown strongly.

South

In southern Stockholm there are a number of offi ce and industrial areas. The Globen area, including Johanneshov, is dominated by service companies, retail and communication. The area has good means of communication. Marievik/Liljeholmen is a more typical offi ce area just outside Stockholm inner city and Södermalm. Västberga, with proximity to highway E4 and the trunk line, is dominated by transportation and logistics companies, warehouses, manufacturing and construction companies.

Skärholmen, located to the southern most part of Stockholm, is dominated by trade and the area Kungens Kurva is one of the largest shopping areas in the Nordic countries.

Rental market

The activity in the rental market was very low during the fi rst six months of 2009. After the summer a slightly higher activity was seen and rental levels and vacancy rates for all categories of premises, outside the most central parts of Stockholm, remained relatively stable in spite of prevailing fi nancial uneasiness.

In 2009 a large share of offi ce space has been newly produced, mainly in the central parts of Greater Stockholm, where also changes in rental levels and vacancy rates have been more pronounced. There is still a relatively good demand in the whole region for logistics and warehouse areas with attractive locations.

Real Estate Market

The real estate market was weak at the beginning of the year, but improved during the last six months. Property transactions carried out indicate that the required yield has been adjusted marginally during the year and been stabilized during the fall. In 2009 property transactions corresponding to a value of approx. SEKbn 7 were carried out, as compared to SEKbn 22 in 2008, i.e. only one third of the volume compared to previous year. Transactions carried out in the year had a lower average volume than previous years and only a few occasional transactions larger than SEKbn 1 were seen.

Of the total commercial transaction volume, offi ce and retail amounted to approx. 95% and industry/warehouse to approx. 5%.

Mälardalen

Castellum's region Mälardalen comprises the areas of Örebro, Uppsala and Västerås, with a combined population of approx. 750,000 inhabitants, or 8% of Sweden's population. The region has had a positive population growth and has a good business structure.

The two railroads Mälar Line and Svealand Line have improved commuting between Stockholm and Örebro, via Västerås and Eskilstuna respectively.

Örebro's strategic location with the intersection of several roads, with good railroad connections and an airport close by, has transformed Örebro into a centre for logistics. Business in Örebro is diversifi ed, with activities found in commerce, service, administration, a variety of manufacturing industries and several governmental and municipal administrative bodies.

Uppsala is the country's fourth largest city and one of the most important university cities, with good communications and a well developed and diversifi ed business with focus on IT, medical science and commerce. The university, good infrastructure and vicinity to Stockholm are some of the explanations why Uppsala has been showing a good growth.

Västerås has a strategic location by highway E18, good railroad connections, an airport and the largest inland port of the Nordic countries. The local business is characterized by both multinational companies and many new enterprises. Collaboration between the university and the local business is a strong growth factor. In central Västerås, there is a transformation from former industry premises to modern offi ces going on.

Rental market

The rental market has been stable in 2009, with virtually unchanged vacancy rates and rental levels on all market segments. In spite of the market state, the market for lease of premises for offi ce, warehouse and industry has been satisfactory in all market areas. A certain weakening has been noticed regarding retail areas.

A positive factor for future rental market in Mälardalen, both concerning vacancies and rental levels, is that new production of premises for speculation does not really exist.

Real estate market

The real estate market in Mälardalen showed a very low transaction volume in 2009, SEKbn 0.4, as compared to SEKbn 2 during 2008. Of the very few contracts signed, the transactions in Uppsala accounted for half the volume. In 2009, as a general the buyers in the region were national actors and the sellers were Swedish building companies.

Even though it is diffi cult to assess the pricing on a whole market based on such a few transactions the value of sold offi ce properties shows a stable price picture in the region.

Of total commercial transaction volume, the category offi ce/retail amounted to approx. 85% and industry/warehouse to approx. 15%.

Notices of terminations amounted to SEKm 73 (58), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 7 (3), hence net leasing for the year were SEKm –7 (31).

Subsidiary

Castellum's properties in Mälardalen are owned and managed by the wholly owned subsidiary Aspholmen Fastigheter AB with its head offi ce in Örebro. The company has local management offi ces in Västerås and Uppsala. At the year-end Aspholmen had 40 employees.

Eastern Götaland

Castellum's real estate portfolio in Eastern Götaland comprise Värnamo, Jönköping, Växjö, and Linköping, which together form a region with approx. 600,000 inhabitants, or slightly less than 7% of Sweden's population.

The province of Småland is well known for its entrepreneurial spirit and is one of Sweden's most interesting and successful regions, in terms of small enterprises.

Jönköping has a strategic location, with several major highways and access to airport and railroad, which has developed Jönköping into a logistics centre. Many large companies have established warehouses and distribution in Jönköping.

Värnamo has a small labor market, though the number of people in the city's reception area for commerce is three times as large as its population. The infrastructure, with highway E4 and good railroad connections provide for good accessibility and a successful industry. Värnamo has a strong tradition of small enterprises and is today a centre for commerce and services. The industry is to a high degree export orientated.

Växjö is an attractive city with good means of communication, a variety of educations and a positive business climate, which all have contributed to the high growth. There is a good mix of companies in basic industries such as foresting and manufacturing, and companies with a hi-tech profi le.

Linköping has a strategic location in the centre of Östergötland, and good means of communication with roads, railroad and an airport close to the city centre. Traditional business is clearly diversifi ed, but consists mainly of companies within the technical fi eld. The region has a close co-operation between local businesses and the university, for instance in Mjärdevi Science Park, with more than 5,000 employees.

Rental market

After the summer a higher and more positive activity in the rental market has been noted for commercial properties, in all Castellum's cities.

In Jönköping the activity is high with many new inquiries. Despite recession and fi nancial uneasiness, no infl uence can be seen on rental levels or vacancies so far. Linköping having a relatively small part of manufacturing industry has so far not seen any large numbers of notices of redundancy or lay-offs. Any clear infl uence on rental levels or vacancies has not yet been seen.

The activity on the rental market is slightly lower in Värnamo and Växjö, but also here rental levels and vacancies are stable.

Real Estate market

In 2009 the transaction volume on the real estate market in Eastern Götaland amounted to SEKbn 1, which can be compared to SEKbn 4 in 2008. Almost all transactions were carried out during the latter part of 2009 and the pricing, although few transactions, was increasingly stable. Over half of the transaction volume was related to Linköping and the properties were mainly sold one by one. There were only national purchasers in the region during the year.

Of the total commercial transaction volume, the category offi ce and retail amounted to approx. 90% and industry/warehouse to approx. 10%.

Rental development

Castellum's average rental level is SEK 969 per sq.m. for offi ce/retail and SEK 480 per sq.m. for warehouse/industrial premises. Rental levels have increased by approx. 4% in comparable portfolio compared with previous year.

The average economic occupancy rate was 90.0%, which is 0.8%-units higher than previous year.

The gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the year was SEKm 45 (32), of which SEKm 17 (2) was leasing in connection to new construction, extension and reconstruction. Notices of terminations amounted to SEKm 35 (27), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 4 (6), hence net leasing for the year were SEKm 10 (5).

Subsidiary

Castellum's properties in Eastern Götaland are owned and managed by the wholly owned subsidiary Fastighets AB Corallen, with its head offi ce in Värnamo. The company also has local management offi ces in Jönköping, Linköping and Växjö. At the year-end Corallen had 29 employees.

Net leasing

Financing

Property ownership is a capital intensive business and access to funding is one of the fundamentals to ensure successful development of the real estate portfolio. Access to funding is crucial to carry out new construction, extensions, reconstruction and acquisitions.

Interest rate risk and interest coverage ratio

Interest expense is the single largest cost item and affect the growth of income from property management. The interest rate cost is mainly affected by changes in the market interest rates but also by changes in the conditions on the credit market which in turn affect the spread lenders demand in return for lending money. Both markets can change rapidly and cannot be affected by Castellum. Rising interest rates are generally assumed to result from economic growth and rising infl ation, which in turn are assumed to lead to increased demand for commercial premises and hence increasing rents and/or reduced vacancies. Falling interest rates are assumed to have the opposite causes and effects. Thus over time rising or falling fi nancial expenses will coincide with rising or falling rental income.

Changes in market interest rates affects net fi nancial items. How quickly and by how much largely depends on the chosen fi xed interest term. To ensure low and stable net fi nancial items in terms of cash fl ow Castellum has generally chosen to fi x interest rates for a relatively long period. This limits the immediate effect in net fi nancial items caused by changes in the market interest rates.

For the same reason Castellum has chosen to sign mainly credit agreements with agreed spreads with banks. However changes in both of these markets will over time affect net fi nancial items.

The interest coverage ratio is the fi nancial key ratio that describes a company's resistance and level of risk for changes in net fi nancial items. Castellum's objective is an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. For 2009 the interest coverage ratio was 309% (255%). The average fi xed interest term at 31 December, 2009 was 2.8 year (2.9) and the average term to maturity for agreed spreads was 3.2 year (3.2).

Loan to value ratio and capital tied up

Properties are long term assets and demand long term funding where the ratio between equity and interest bearing debt is set to obtain necessary funding. The loan to value ratio is the fi nancial key ratio that describes the proportion of the property's value covered by loans. Castellum's objective is a loan to value ratio not exceeding 55% in the long run.

Castellum's assets had a value of SEKm 29,476 (29,404) at the year end and these are fi nanced by SEKm 9,692 (10,049) in equity and SEKm 19,784 (19,355), in liabilities, of which SEKm 15,294 (14,607) are interest bearing. The loan to value ratio was 52% (50%).

Demands for long-term funding make Castellum look for long term capital in credit agreements in order to minimize the risk of refi nancing. Existing agreements are renegotiated and new agreements are signed regularly. At the year end Castellum had unutilized binding long-term credit agreements with banks totaling SEKm 1,176 (1,702) giving

Financial policy

The fi nancial operations in Castellum are conducted in accordance with the objectives adopted by the Board in the fi nancial policy. The objectives in the fi nancial policy are:

  • Maintaining a capital structure with a loan to value ratio not exceed ing 55% in the long run and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.
  • Securing the required liquidity and long-term funding.
  • Achieving low and stable net interest expense within the given risk authorization.

The fi nancial policy outlines the authorizations and limits for managing fi nancial risk, overall delegation of responsibilities and how fi nancial risk shall be reported and followed-up. The fi nancial risks are followed up and reported quarterly to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors reviews the fi nancial policy each year.

Organization

All fi nancial risk management is centralized in the parent company. The treasury department's responsibilities include the Group's funding, interest rate risk management, fi nancing for subsidiaries and cash management. The treasury department consists of two persons. The parent company also includes a function that provides accounting and independent control of the fi nancial operations a so called back-offi ce and compliance function.

Interest bearing liabilities and interest rate derivatives

Castellum's interest bearing debt is mainly made up of short-term loans under long-term credit agreements, typically with Stibor 1 week to 3 months as the basis for interest calculation. The credit agreements are mainly bilateral credit agreements with Scandinavian banks. Castellum may increase or decrease the amount of outstanding debt under the long-term credit agreements in order to minimize the amount of interest bearing debt over time. In order to limit the interest rate risk and achieve the desired fi xed interest term Castellum uses different types of interest rate derivatives, which is a cost effective and fl exible method for extending loans with short-term interest rates compared to loans at fi xed rates. In terms of cash fl ow the outcome is the same. However, the two methods are accounted for differently: interest rate derivatives are marked to market, which is normally not the case for loans with fi xed rates of interest.

After deducting liquidity of SEKm 8 (9), net interest bearing liabilities totaled SEKm 15,286 (14,598) at December 31, 2009, At the same date Castellum had binding long-term credit agreements with banks totaling SEKm 16,262 (15,800), bond loans totaling SEKm 500 (650), binding short-term credit agreements with banks totaling SEKm 1,220 (770) and an unutilized SEKm 4,000 (4,000) commercial paper program. At the year-end, the average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was 5.5 years (5.5).

Net fi nancial item

Net fi nancial items were SEKm –541 (–626). The net fi nancial items have been affected positively with SEKm 140 due to a falling average interest rate level of 1.0% unit to 3.7% (4.7%). The average effective rate as of 31 December, 2009 was 3.8% (4.8%). The market interest rate for an equal portfolio, regarding both current market rates and spreads, can be assessed to 3.1%. Castellum's interest rate costs are made up of the market interest rate at the time of the loan and a spread to the lender, which includes both a margin on utilized credit as well as a commitment fee for the credit agreement.

Valuation of interest rate derivatives

According to the accounting standard IAS 39, interest rate derivatives should be marked to market, resulting in a theoretical surplus or negative value if the contractual interest rate varies from the applicable market rate, and in Castellum's case the change in value should be recognized in the income statement.

Due to changes in long-term market interest rates and the time factor the value has changed SEKm 102 (–1,010), and at the year-end the value was SEKm –865 (–966).

Securing of interest-bearing liabilities

Long-term credit agreements with banks are secured mainly through the company's properties and by credit agreements in the contracts, fi nancial covenants. Issued commercial papers, bonds, and short-term credit agreements with banks such as bank overdraft facilities are unsecured.

Utilized credit facilities secured through mortgage deeds totaled SEKm 14,583 (13,696) at 31 December, 2009 and utilized unsecured credit facilities totaled SEKm 703 (902). The committed fi nancial covenants are a loan to value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%. There are also general commitments that Castellum should provide the lenders with fi nancial information such as annual reports and interim reports and in some cases a right to renegotiate the credit agreements due to a material adverse change in business or discontinued stock exchange listing.

Opportunities and Risks

Opportunities and risks may roughly be divided into two sections – changes in the cash flow and changes in value.

Opportunities and risks in the cash flow Rental income

Rental levels as well as vacancies for commercial contracts are mainly depending on the growth in Swedish economy, but are also affected by the amount of new construction. Economic growth is supposed to lead to increased demand for premises and hence decreasing vacancies, with a potential for increasing market rents, which also provide opportunities for new construction. A weakening growth in the growth has an opposite effect. Since the commercial contracts are signed for a certain period of time, a change in the market rents does not give an immediate effect on the rental income. The most common term on a new lease is currently 3-5 years with nine months' notice of termination and an index clause linked to the infl ation. The average remaining duration of leases in Castellum's portfolio is 3.3 years. Castellum's lease portfolio is presently considered to be in line with market rents. The negative infl ation during the year will however cause an index adjustment of rents of roughly minus 0.5 percent for 2010.

The state of the economy recession leads to an increased risk for bankruptcies, which may give an immediate effect on the rental income. The risk for major changes in vacancies increases with few and large tenants. Castellum has approx. 4,400 commercial contracts of which the single largest contract accounts for approx. 1% of total rental income. Castellum's current lease maturity structure, together with the lease portfolio's make up of geography, type of premises, sizes and sectors provide a good spread of risk. Vacancies during 2009 amounted to approx. SEKm 323 and make up a potential for possible new leases.

Property costs

Operating costs are largely made up of costs for electricity, garbage disposal, heating and water, where electricity and heating costs have the largest effect on the result. The price of electricity is determined by supply and demand on the open market for electricity. Castellum limits the risk by hedging a certain amount of electricity. Most of the costs are passed on to the tenants, why Castellum's exposure to cost fl uctuation in the short term is relatively limited. Castellum's properties have a good standard and maintenance situation.

Castellum holds around 80 properties by site leasehold. The ground rent for these is currently calculated in such a way that the municipality receives a fair real interest rate, based on the estimated market value of the site. The site leasehold is typically renegotiated with 10 to 20 years intervals. It can not be ruled out that the ground rent levels or the basis for the calculation may change in the future.

The real estate tax is a federal tax based on the properties' tax assessment value and completely dependent on political decisions such as tax rate and tax assessment value, which Castellum cannot control. Also the real estate tax is passed on to the tenants, provided that the premises are not vacant; in such a case the owner of the property has to carry the real estate tax cost.

The blue fi gures relate to change in value.

Interest costs

Interest cost is the single largest cost item for Castellum and consists of the market interest rate and the credit margin the lenders demand in return for their loans. The conditions on the interest rate market may change quickly. The market interest rate is affected by the Riksbank's monetary policy, expectations of economic development both internationally as well as nationally and of unexpected events such as last year's fi nancial turbulence. In order to limit this infl uence the interest rate maturity structure has been spread over different terms and Castellum signs mainly long term credit agreements with fi xed margins and fees.

There are clauses in the credit agreements, with the effect that lenders shall be compensated for increased costs which might occur due to new or revised laws or regulations. This can lead to higher borrowing costs for Castellum.

Castellum's average fi xed interest term was 2.8 years and margins and fees in long term credit agreements are fi xed with an average duration of 3.2 years. A change in the market interest rate by +/– 1 percentage unit will affect cash fl ow by SEKm –53/+10 for 2010.

Taxes

Castellum is affected by political decisions such as changes in the corporate tax rate, real estate tax, the fi scal legislation or interpretations of it. Future income tax reforms or interpretations of these may have both positive as well as negative effects on Castellum's fi scal position.

Summary of opportunities and risks in cash fl ow

Increasing market interest rates is generally an effect of economic growth and increasing infl ation, which is thought to give higher rental income. This is partly because the demand for premises is thought to increase, leading to reduced vacancies and hence a potential for increasing market rents, and partly because the index clause in the commercial contracts is compensating for the rising infl ation. An economic boom therefore means higher interest costs but also higher rental income, while the opposite relationship is true during a recession. The change in rental income and interest costs does not take place at exactly the same time, why the effect on the result in the short term may occur at different points in time. Signifi cant economic events can occur from time to time and may need shorter or longer adjustment periods, i.e. the time needed to restore a new economic equilibrium, which may cause disturbances in the relation mentioned above.

Opportunities and risks in values The value of the properties

Castellum reports its properties at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. This means that the result in particular but also the fi nancial position is volatile. Assuming a normal capital market, the value of the properties is determined by supply and demand, where the price mainly depends on the properties' expected net operating income and the buyer's required yield. An increasing demand, lower required yields and positive real development in net operating income lead to an upward adjustment in prices, while a weaker demand, higher required yields and negative real growth have the opposite effect.

In relation to the current recession, during 2009 the values have

decreased mainly due to a more moderate outlook for real growth in net operating income. The sensitivity analysis enclosed shows how Castellum's loan to value ratio is affected by a change in value of +/– 10-20%.

Property valuations are calculations according to accepted principles and on the basis of certain assumptions. Consideration should therefore be taken to a value range, typically +/– 5-10% in a functioning market, in order to refl ect the uncertainty that exists in assumptions and calculations made. The example shows how the value may vary depending on changes in net operating income of +/– 5% and changes in the required yield of +/– 0.5%, which together give a value range of –11% to +13%. Castellum does not have rental guarantees.

All of Castellum's properties are insured to their full value.

Interest bearing liabilities and fi nancial risk

All property ownership requires a functioning credit market. Castellum's greatest fi nancial risk is not having access to funding. The risk is limited by a low loan to value ratio and long term credit agreements. Existing credit agreements are regularly reviewed and renegotiated and new credit agreements and types of funding are entered into when needed, in order to secure Castellum's capital need. Loans in banks are secured by pledged mortgages and/or a guarantee to maintain certain fi nancial key ratios. Financial covenants issued state a loan to value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%. A covenant with a loan to value ratio of 65% may be compared to the actual outcome on 31 December, 2009 of 52%, showing that there is room for a further decrease in value of SEKm 6,000, corresponding to 20%.

Castellum currently has an average duration of long term credit agreements of 5.5 years and an unutilized volume of long term credit agreements of SEKm 1,176. Counterparty risk may occur if any party cannot meet its obligations. To limit this risk Castellum only works with counterparties with high credit ratings (at least investment grade), and limits the share of credit agreements and derivatives signed with each single counterparty.

In order to manage the interest rate risk in a cost effective way Castellum uses interest rate derivatives. If the agreed interest rate varies from the market interest rate from time to time, there is a theoretical overvalue or undervalue on the derivatives, which is reported in the income statement. The lesser risk taken in interest payments by signing derivative agreements and extending fi xed interest terms, the greater risk is taken in the value of the derivatives, since the time factor increases the risk for large fl uctuations in value. An upward parallel adjustment of the discounting interest rate used in valuation of the interest rate derivative portfolio at 31 December, 2009 of one percentage unit, would alter the value of the interest rate derivative portfolio by approx. SEKm +460/390.

Deferred tax

In the balance sheet the deferred tax liability is based on that all properties are sold today with worst possible taxation outcome, i.e. a direct sale. The effective tax is lower because of both the possibility to sell properties in a tax effi cient manner, and the time factor that causes the tax to be discounted. At present, the actual discounted deferred tax liability is considered to be approx. 5%, giving a value of SEKm 537 million which is considerably lower than the SEKm 2,824 accounted for.

Shareholders

At the year-end, Castellum had approx. 8,900 shareholders. The amount of shares registered abroad at the year-end was 46%. Shareholders registered abroad can not be broken down in terms of directly held and nominee registered shares except when the shareholder is required to declare substanial share acquisitions.. Two foreign shareholders have declared for holding over 5%, Stichting Pensioensfonds ABP and BlackRock Inc. Castellum has no direct registered shareholders with holdings exceeding 10%.

Proposed dividend

The Board intends to propose the annual general meeting to decide on a dividend of SEK 3.50 per share, an increase of 11% compared with previous year. The dividend ratio is 69% of income from property management after a 26.3% tax deduction.

If the annual general meeting decides to accept the Board's dividend proposal, of Tuesday March 30, 2010 as the record day for payment of the dividend, the share will be traded including the dividend up to and including the day of the annual general meeting, Thursday March 25, 2010. Payment of the dividend is expected to take place on Friday April 6, 2010.

The dividend falls within Castellum's objective of distributing at least 60% of income from property management after tax, having taken into account investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and fi nancial position in general. Unrealized changes in value, positive or negative, are thus not included in the distributable result.

Share capital, number of shares and repurchase

The share capital amounts to SEKm 86, distributed among 172,006,708 A-shares with a par value of SEK 0.50 per share. Each share, except the company's own repurchased shares, entitles the holder to one vote and carries an equal right to a share in Castellum's capital. Changes in the share capital and the number of shares over time are displayed in note 13.

During 2000, Castellum repurchased 8,006,708 of the company's own shares for a total of SEKm 194, equivalent to 4.7% of the total registered number of shares. Since then no repurchases of the company's own shares have been made. As repurchasing is a good method of adapting the capital structure to the capital requirements from time to time, the Board will propose the AGM to decide on extending the mandate to repurchase shares until the next AGM. This mandate provides the facility to repurchase or transfer shares.

The number of outstanding shares, i.e. the number of registered shares less the number of repurchased shares, totals 164,000,000.

The Castellum share is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB Large Cap.

Valuation - share price related key figures

Earnings Capacity

Income from property management before tax for 2009 amounted to SEK 6.89 per share (5.93), which compared to the share price at the year-end gives a multiple of 11 (10).

Income from property management after tax relating to income from property management (EPRA EPS) amounted 2009 to SEK 6.93 (5.85) which gives a multiple of 10 (10).

Net income for 2009 amounted to SEK 0.98 per share (–4.04), giving a multiple of 74 (negativ).

Net asset value

When assets and liabilities are valued at fair value the net asset value can be calculated using shareholders' equity in the balance sheet. However, consideration should be taken to that the effective tax is lower than the reported 26,3% nominal tax rate, in part due to the possibility to sell properties in a tax effi cient way, and in part due to the time factor for which the tax should be discounted.

The long term net asset value (EPRA NAV) can be calculated to SEKm 13,381 (13,800) corresponding to 82 SEK per share (84). The share price at the year-end was thus 88% (72%) of the net asset value.

The net asset value (EPRA NNNAV) can be calculated to SEKm 11,979 (12,305), corresponding to 73 SEK/share (75). The share price at the year-end was thus 99% (81%) of the net asset value.

Dividend Yield

The proposed dividend of SEK 3.50 (3.15) corresponds to a yield of 4.8% (5.2%) based on the share price at the yearend.

EPRA

EPRA, European Public Real Estate Association, is an association for listed real estate owners and invstors in Europe, which among other things, sets standards for financial reporting. A part of that is key ratios EPRA EPS (Earnings Per Share), EPRA NAV (Net Asset Value) and EPRA NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value).

Election Committee

The Annual General Meeting 2009 decided that an Election Committee should be appointed for the AGM 2010 in order to present proposals for the number of members of the Board of Directors, election of members of the Board of Directors and chairman of the Board of Directors and remuneration to members of the Board of Directors.

The Election Committee is appointed according to the AGM's decision that the Election Committee should be established by the Chairman contacting the three largest shareholders at the end of the third quarter in order for them to each appoint one member to the Election Committee. The appointed members, together with the Chairman of the Board of Directors as convener, should constitute the Election Committee. It was also decided that the Election Committee would appoint a chairman amongst its members.

The Election Committee formed includes: Maj-Charlotte Wallin representing AFA Försäkring, Paul Frentrop representing Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP, Lars-Åke Bokenberger representing AMF Pension, and the Chairman of the Board Jan Kvarnström. Maj-Charlotte Wallin is the chairman of the Election Committee.

The Election Committee has held four meetings with minutes. At the meetings the Election Committee has adressed all the issues the Election Committee are obliged to adress according to the Swedish Code for corporate governance. The Election Committee has evaluated if the current Board of Directors meet the requirements that will be put on the Board as an effect of Castellum's situation and future operations, e.g. by reviewing the evaluation made of the work of the Board.

The Election Committee has decided to propose re-election of the boardmembers Jan Kvarnström, Per Berggren, Marianne Dicander Alexandersson, Ulla-Britt Fräjdin-Hellqvist, Christer Jacobson and Göran Lindén and new election of Johan Skoglund. Jan Kvarnström is proposed as chairman of the Board. The proposed Board of Directors is considered to possess the versatility and competence, experience and background required with respect to Castellum's business, phase in the deve lopment and other circumstances.

In order to be able to judge the proposed boardmembers independency in relation to Castellum and its executive management as well as to the larger shareholders in Castellum, the Election Committee has gathered

information on the proposed members of the Board of Directors. Out of this, the Election Committee has assessed that only Mr Jan Kvarnström, member of the Board of Directors since 1994, is to be considered in a position of dependence in relation to Castellum and its executive management.

Remuneration to the Board of Directors is proposed to SEK 475,000 to the Chairman and SEK 225,000 for each of the remaining board members, SEK 1,825,000 in total.

Swedish code for corporate governance

Castellum applies the code which purpose is to create good preconditions for practicing the role of an active and responsible ownership. The code is meant to make up one step in the self-regulation of the Swedish business environment. It is based upon the principle comply or explain, meaning that all rules must not always be followed and there is no crime in deviating from one or more particular rules of the code if there are motives and explanations. Swedish code for corporate governance is conducted by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board and is found on www.bolagsstyrning.se.

Castellum deviates from the paragraph, "making the members of the Election Committee public", which according to the code shall be made six month prior to the AGM. The AGM 2008 decided, according to previous practice, that an Election Committee should be established at the end of the third quarter, and that the names of the members of the Election Committee should be published in the company's third interim report for the year. According to this composition of the Election Committee was published approximately fi ve months prior to the AGM.

Internal control

According to the Swedish Companies Act and Swedish code for corporate governance the Board of Directors is responsible for the internal control. This report has been drawn up in accordance with the Swedish code for corporate governance and is hence limited to internal control regarding the fi nancial reporting.

The internal control in Castellum follows an established framework, Internal Control – Integrated Framework, "COSO", comprising the following fi ve components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring.

Control environment

The basis for the internal control regarding the fi nancial reporting is made up of the control environment, which consists of different parts that together form the culture and values Castellum is managed from. The fundamentals for Castellum's internal control is the decentralized small-scale organization with over 600 properties, as well as cost centres, which are managed by six subsidiaries, each with approx. 30-40 employees. The decision making processes, authorizations and responsibilities which have been drawn up and communicated in documents such as the Board of Directors' rules of procedure, rules for decision making, rules for authorization, accounting and reporting manuals, internal policies and manuals are also important for the internal control. Documents in use are updated regularly to changes in legislation, accounting standards or listing requirements etc.

Risk assessment

In Castellum risk management is built into the processes and different methods are used to evaluate and limit risks and to secure that the risks Castellum is exposed to are managed in accordance with set polices and guidelines. In accordance with the rules of procedure, the Board of Directors, also the audit committee, reviews the internal control once a year. Identifi ed risks are assessed and measures are set to reduce these risks. The important risks Castellum has identifi ed in the fi nancial reporting are errors in the accounting and valuation of properties, interest bearing liabilities, taxes and VAT, as well as the risk of fraud, loss or embezzlement of assets.

Control activities

The risks identifi ed regarding the fi nancial reporting are taken care of by the company's structure for control resulting in a number of control measures. The control measures aim to prevent, discover and correct errors and deviations and comprise analytical reviews on many levels in the organization and comparisons of income statement items, reconciliation of accounts, follow-up and reconciliation of board decisions and policies set by the board, authorization and reporting of business transactions, structure for proxy and authorization, authorized signatory, compliance offi cer function, group-wide defi nitions, templates, tools for reporting as well as accounting and valuation principles. Castellum's subsidiaries have their own fi nancial functions which take part in the planning and follow-up of their units' fi nancial results. Their regular analysis of their own units' fi nancial reporting are together with the analysis made at group level an important part of the internal control in order to ensure that the fi nancial reporting do not contain any signifi cant errors.

Information and communication

Castellum has ways for information and communication that aim to ensurean effective and correct distribution of information regarding the fi nancial reporting. This demands that all parts of the operation communicate and share relevant and important information. Policies and guidelines regarding the fi nancial reporting as well as updates and changes are made available and aware to the personnel concerned. The executive management as well as the Board of Directors regularly receive fi nancial information about the subsidiaries with comments on fi nancial results and risks. The Board of Directors also receives additional information regarding risk management, internal control and fi nancial reporting from the auditors through the audit committee. In order to ensure that the external distribution of information is correct and complete there are both a policy for communicating with the stock market and an information security policy.

Monitoring

Regular follow-ups take place on many levels in the group, on both property level and subsidiary level as well as group level. The Board of Directors, which also makes up the audit committee, regularly evaluates the information provided by the company management and the auditors. The company's auditors also report in person directly to the audit committee at least twice a year of their observations from the audit and their assessment of the internal control. In addition the audit committee makes an annual review of the risk assessments and the decided measures. The audit committee's and the Board of Directors' monitoring are of particular importance for the development of the internal control and for ensuring that measures are taken for possible shortcomings and suggestions that emerge.

The need for internal audits

Castellum has a small scale organization with approx. 30-40 employees in each company which together manages over 600 cost centres. All property management are run by the subsidiaries while fi nancial management is taken care of by the parent company's treasury department, meaning that Castellum AB is not a profi t centre. This gives the fi nancial function of the parent company the role of a controlling function for the subsidiaries and a compliance offi cer function for the treasury department. In all this provides for the assessment that there is no need for a special unit for internal audits.

Executive Group Management

The executive group management includes the Chief Executive Offi cer, the Deputy Chief Executive Offi cer with responsibility for business development, the Financial and Finance Directors of Castellum AB and the six Managing Directors of the subsidiaries. Each member of the executive group management has their own area of responsibility and at the meetings mostly issues of overall operations are covered. The executive management has had 10 meetings in 2009.

The Chief Executive Offi cer and the Deputy Chief Executive Offi cer together with Managing Director of each subsidiary is the Board in each local subsidiary.

The Chief Executive Offi cer

The Chief Executive Offi cer is responsible for the company's day-to-day operations and for leading the operations according to the guidelines and directives submitted by the Board of Directors and for providing the Board with information and necessary basis for decision making. The Chief Executive Offi cer also reports at the Board meetings and shall make sure that members of the Board regularly receive the information needed in order to follow the company's and the group's fi nancial position, results, liquidity, and development.

Guidelines for remuneration for Senior Executives

The AGM 2009 decided on the following guidelines for remuneration for senior executives:

Castellum shall uphold the remuneration levels and terms of employment required in order to recruit and maintain a good management with competence and capacity to achieve set objectives. A fi xed salary will be paid for work performed in a satisfactory manner. In addition, fl exible remunerations under an incentive plan may also be offered. Such fl exible remuneration shall aim to promote long-term value creation within The Group. Flexible remuneration, which generally can not exceed the fi xed salary is determined by how far in advance its objectives for growth in property management earnings per share and share price development are achieved, and how soft factors such as customer and employee satisfaction are developed. Fleixible remuneration is paid as non pensionable salary. Executives who receive fl exibel remuneration is committed to acquire Castellum-shares for less than half the amount of fl exible remuneration after tax.

The pension terms of the executive management shall be set according to general market practice and shall be based on pension plans with fi xed payments.

Such period of notice shall, upon termination by the Company not exceeding 24 months for the Cheif Executive Offi cer and 12 months for other executives, with the obligation to work the fi rst six months. During the notice period full salary and other benefi ts is paid, less pay and compensation received from other employment.

Castellum has followed the guidelines decided by the AGM 2009.

The proposed guidelines for remuneration for senior executives which will be put forward at the AGM on March 25, 2010 are on principle unchanged compared to those put forward at the AGM in 2009.

For further information regarding remuneration for the management see note 10.

Hence, net leasing for the year was SEKm –37 (84).

Property costs amounted to SEKm 942 (831) corresponding to SEK 300 per sq.m. (268). The increase is chiefl y an effect of a colder year compared to last year and a higher number of started maintenance measures.

Accounting Principles and Notes

(All fi gures in SEKm unless stated otherwise.)

Note 1 Accounting Principles
General
information
The fi nancial reports of Castellum AB (The Parent Company) for the fi nancial year ending December 31, 2009
has been approved by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Offi cer for publication on January 26,
2010 and will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting 2010 for adoption. The parent company is a
Swedish limited liability company (publ), with registered offi ce in Gothenburg, Sweden. The operations of the
Group are described in the Directors' report.
Grounds for the
accounting
Castellum´s accounts have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS standards adopted by the EU and the
interpretations of them (IFRIC). Further, the consolidated accounts have been prepared according to Swedish
law by application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Boards recommendation RFR 1:2 (Complementary
accounting principles for consolidated accounts).
The accounts have been prepared based on fair value of investment properties and derivatives and nominal
value for deferred tax. For the remaining items acquisition value has been used.
Critical
assessments
In order for the accounts to be completed in accordance with the IFRS and generally accepted accounting
principles assessments and assumptions must be made that affect the recorded assets, liabilities, income
and costs as well as other information in the accounts. These assessments and assumptions are based upon
historical experiences and other factors which are considered fair under the current conditions. Real outcome
may be different from these assessments if other assumptions are made or other conditions exist.
Investment properties
In valuation of investment properties the assessments and assumptions can have signifi cant affect on the
income and fi nancial position of the Group. The valuation calls for estimation and assumptions of the future
cash fl ows and decision about the discounting factor (required yield). To refl ect the uncertainty that exists in
the assessments and assumptions, normally an uncertainty range of +/- 5-10% is used in property valuations.
Information about this and the assessments and assumptions made are presented in note 11.
Deferred tax liability
According to the accounting principles deferred tax shall be accounted to nominal value without discounting,
meaning 26.3% nominal tax rate. The real tax is considerably lower in part due to the possibility to sell
properties in a tax effi cient way, and in part due to the time factor.
Classifi cation Fixed assets and long-term liabilities consist of amounts that are expected to be regained or settled more than
twelve months from the balance sheet day. Current assets and short-term liabilities consist of amounts that are
expected to be regained or settled in less than twelve months from the balance sheet day.
The consolidated
fi nancial statements
The Group's balance sheet and income statement includes all companies where the parent company has direct
or indirect determining infl uence. All companies in the Group are wholly-owned and there are neither associated
companies nor joint ventures. In addition to the parent company, the Group comprises the subsidiaries listed in
Note 13 and their respecitve sub-groups. The consolidated fi nancial statements are based upon the accounts
for all subsidiaries as of December 31. The consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared according to
the acquisition accounting method, meaning that the shareholders' equity of the subsidiaries at the time of
acquisition, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the assets and liabilities, are fully eliminated.
The shareholders' equity of the Group includes only the part of shareholders' equity of the subsidiaries that has
been added after the acquisition.
Castellum has classifi ed all company acquisitions as business combination acquisitions and thus recorded full
nominal tax.
The consolidated income statement includes records of associated companies acquired or sold during the year
only for the time of possession.
Intra-group sales, income, losses and dealings are eliminated in the consolidated accounts.
Income Rental income
Rental income, which from an accounting perspective is also called income from operating leases, is debited in
advance and allocated linear in the income statement, based on the terms in the lease. Rental income includes
supplementary charges for the tenant, such as debited real estate tax and heating costs. Rents debited in
advance are recorded as deferred rental income. In cases where a lease during a certain period of time offers a

reduced rent, corresponding to a higher rent at another point in time, this lower/higher rent is spread out over the period of the lease. Pure discounts, such as reduction for successive moving in, are recorded in the income statement in the period when they are given.

Income from property sales

Income from property sales is entered as of the contract date, unless there exist special conditions in the purchasing agreement. On sale of a property through a company, the transaction is recorded using gross accounting regarding the underlying property price and the calculated deduction for deferred tax. The result from a property sales is accounted for as a realized change in value and refers to the difference between the received sales price after deduction of sales costs, and the recorded value in the latest interim report with adjustment for capitalized investments after the latest interim report.

Financial income

Financial income consist of interest income and interest subsidies and are recorded as income in the period which they refer to. Also received and anticipated dividends are recorded as a fi nancial income.

Financial costs are interests and other costs that occur when a company is borrowing money. Costs for taking out pledges for mortgages are not considered as fi nancial costs and are capitalized as a property investment since it increases the valuation. Financial costs are accounted for in the period which they refer to. Financial costs also consist of cost of entered interest rate derivatives-agreements. Payments under these interest rate derivatives are accounted for in the period which they refer to. Net fi nancial items have not been affected by market valuation of the entered interest rate derivatives, instead changes in the market value of interest rate derivatives are recorded as changes in value under a separate headline. The part of the interest costs originating from interest during the construction period for major new construction, extension or reconstruction projects is capitalized. The interest is calculated based on the average interest rate level for the Group.

Employee benefi ts are accounted for as the employees perform services in exchange for the remuneration. Benefi ts according to incentive plans, that are settled in cash and paid as non pensionable salary, are accounted for as the targets are met during the period of the incentive plan.

Pensions

Pensions and other post-employment benefi ts are classifi ed as defi ned contribution or defi ned benefi t plans. The majority of the Castellum Group's pension commitments are defi ned contribution plans, which are fulfi lled through regular payments to independent authorities or bodies which administer the plans. Obligations regarding payments to contribution plans are recorded as a cost in the income statement when they occur. A small number of employees within the Castellum Group have defi ned ITP-plans with regular payments to Alecta. These plans are recorded as defi ned contribution plan since Alecta does not provide the information needed in order to report the plan as a defi ned benefi t plan. There are, however, no indications of any signifi cant liabilities besides what have already been paid to Alecta.

The income tax in the income statement is divided into current and deferred tax. The income tax is recorded in the income statement except when related to transactions, such as group contributions, which have been recorded directly in equity when possible tax effects also have been recorded directly in equity. Current and deferred taxes are calculated based on current tax rates, which for the time being is 26.3%.

Open claims in the income tax return that contains a certain degree of uncertainty is taken into consideration in the tax calculation in the year after the fi nancial year at the earliest, after the taxation has been assessed by the tax authority.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recorded in Castellum, using the balance sheet method, for all temporary difference between an asset's or a liability's book value and its tax basis value. This means that there is a tax liability or a tax asset that falls due for payment on the date on which the asset or liability is realized. Castellum has two entries in which temporary differences may be found – properties and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets related to tax loss carry forwards are recorded since it is probable that future taxable income will be available, which may be utilized against the tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax liability relates to the difference between the properties book value and their tax basis value. On a change in one of the two entries above the deferred tax liability / tax asset is also changed, which is accounted for in the income statement as a deferred tax.

Castellum has recorded completed company acquisitions as business combination acquisitions, which means that full nominal deferred tax on the difference between the real estate portfolio's consolidated book value and its tax basis value, has been considered.

Current tax

Besides the deferred tax also current tax is recorded in the income statement, which is equivalent to the tax that the company must pay on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for possible current tax for previous periods.

Financial cost

Employee benefi ts

Income taxes

Leases

Leases where all crucial risks and benefi ts associated with the ownership fall on the lessor, is classifi ed as operational leases. All existing rental leases related to Castellum's investment properties are, from an accounting perspective seen as operational leases. How these leases are accounted for can be read about in the accounting principles for income and in note 3.

Site leasehold is, from an accounting perspective, seen as an operational lease. The ground rent is accounted for in the income statement for the period it refers to.

There are also a small number of leases of insignifi cant value, where Castellum is the lessee. These leases are also accounted for as operational leases and concerns mainly private cars. Payments made during the period of the leases are recorded as a cost, in the income statement, linear over the leasing period.

Investments properties

An investment property is a property held for the purpose of generating rental income, capital appreciation or both rather than for the use in a company's operations for production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes and sales in daily operations. All of Castellum's owned or by ground rent used properties, are considered to be investment properties. If the Group starts an investment on an existing investment property for future use as an investment property, the property continues to be recorded as an investment property.

Valuation

Investment properties, which at the time of acquisition are recorded at acquisition cost including expenses directly related to the acquisition and with consideration taken to nominal deferred tax, have been recorded at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. Fair value has been calculated using an internal valuation model described in note 11. The note also describes the assumptions made as basis for the valuation. The valuation model is based on a value determined on an earnings basis by calculating the net present value of future cash fl ows with a differentiated required yield for each property depending on such factors as location, intended use, condition and standard. In order to provide further assurance of the valuation part of the portfolio has been valued externally. If there are indications of changes in value during the year, revaluation is made in the interim reports.

Unrealized changes in value

Unrealized changes in value are recorded in the income statement. Changes in value are calculated based on the valuation at the end of the fi nancial year compared to the valuation previous year, or the acquisition value if the property has been acquired during the year, with addition of capitalized subsequent expenditures during the period. For properties sold during the year, unrealized changes in value are recorded and calculated based on the valuation at the latest interim report prior to the sale compared to the valuation at the end of previous year, with adjustment for capitalized subsequent expenditures during the period.

Subsequent expenditures

Subsequent expenditures that increase the valuation of the property and can be calculated in a reliable way are capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are accounted for in the income statement in the period they occur. In the case of major new construction and reconstruction, interest costs during the construction period are capitalized.

Acquisitions och sales

On acquisition or sale of properties or companies, the transaction is entered as of the date of the contract unless there exist special conditions in the purchasing contract.

Tangible fi xed assets

Tangible fi xed assets are made up of equipments, which have been recorded at acquisition value with deduction of accumulated depreciation according to plan and any write-downs made. The acquisition value includes the purchase price and costs directly related to the asset in order to bring it to its place and state to use according to the purpose of the acquisition. Depreciation on equipments is based on historical acquisition values after possible deduction of subsequent write-downs. The residual value is assessed to be non-existent. Depreciation of assets acquired during the year is calculated with reference to the date of acquisition. Depreciation is linear, which means equal depreciation during the period of use, which is normally fi ve years, except for computers which are expected to have a three year period of use.

Financial instruments Financial instruments which are recorded in the balance sheet includes assets such as cash and bank, lease receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables and liabilities such as interest rate derivatives, accounts payable, other liabilities, and loans. Financial instruments are initially recorded at acquisition value equivalent to fair value, with addition of transaction costs, except for the category fi nancial instruments which are recorded at fair value through income statement, without transaction costs. Following the initial recognition the accounting is based on the classifi cation made according to the following. Financial transactions such as cash received or paid on interests and loans are recorded on the settlement day of the bank holding the account, while other payments are recorded on the accounting date of the bank holding the account.

Cash and bank

Cash and bank consist of the bank balance at the end of the accounting period and are recorded at nominal value.

Receivables

Financial assets which are not interest rate derivatives, that has fi xed or predictable payments and that are not quoted on an active market, are recorded as receivables. In the Group there are rent receivables and other receivables which are mainly VAT regarding investments. Receivables have, after individual valuation, been recorded at the amount at which they are expected to be received, which means that they are recorded at acquisition value with reservation for receivables which are uncertain. Reservation for uncertain receivables is made when an objective risk assessments gives at hand that the Group will not receive the entire receivable. There are no receivables in foreign currency. Receivables in the parent company consist only of receivables from the subsidiaries, which are recorded at acquisition value.

Liabilities

Liabilities refer to loans and operating liabilities such as accounts payable. The majority of Castellum's credit agreements are long term. In cases where short-term loans are drawn under long-term credit agreements, the loans are considered as long-term. The loans are recorded on the settlement date at acquisition value. Deferred unpaid interest is recorded in accrued expenses. There are no liabilities in foreign currency. A liability is recorded when the counterparty has performed services and a legal obligation to pay exist, even if the invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are recorded when the invoice is received. A liability is removed from the balance sheet when the obligation is fulfi lled or cleared in an other way. Accounts payable and other operative liabilities with short duration are recorded at nominal value.

Interest rate derivatives

Interest rate derivatives are fi nancial assets or liabilities which are valued at fair value with changes in value recorded in the income statement. In order to manage the exposure to fl uctuations in the market interest rate according to the fi nancial policy, Castellum has entered into interest rate derivative agreements. When using interest rate derivatives changes in value may occur partly due to changes in market interest rates and partly due to the time factor. Interest rate derivatives are initially recorded in the balance sheet on the settlement day at acquisition value, where the absolute majority refers to exchanges of interest rates fl ows meaning an acquisition value of zero, and are thereafter valued at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. In order to calculate the fair value market interest rates for each fi xed interest term as listed on the balance sheet date and generally accepted methods for calculations are used, meaning that fair value has been determined according to level 2, IFRS 7 point 27a. Interest rate derivatives are valued by calculating the net present value by discounting future cash fl ows, instruments containing some sort of option are valued at the current repurchase price which may be received from respective counterparty. Realized changes in value refer to redeemed interest rate derivatives and is the difference between the price at the time of redemption and the recorded book value according to the latest interim report. Unrealized changes in value refer to the changes in value during the fi nancial year for the interest rate derivatives that Castellum held at the end of the fi nancial year. Changes in value are calculated based on the valuation at the end of the fi nancial year compared to the valuation previous year, or the acquisition value if the interest rate derivative agreements have been entered into during the year. For interest rate derivatives that have been redeemed an unrealized change in value is recorded and calculated based on the valuation at the latest interim report prior to the redemption, compared with the valuation at the end of previous year. Payments made under these agreements are accounted for in the period which they refer to

Repurchased shares

Repurchased shares reduce the shareholders' equity with the paid purchase price including any transaction costs.

Dividend

Dividend is accounted for as a deduction of shareholders´equity, after the annual general meeting´s decision. The recipient accounts for an anticipated dividend as a fi nanical income.

Earnings after tax, per share

Calculation of earnings after tax per share is based on the Groups net income for the year attributable to the shareholders of the parent company, and on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the year.

The Group's operations are organized, managed and reported primarily by geographical region and secondly by type of property. Segments are consolidated according to the same principles as the Group.

Income and costs reported for each segment are actual costs. No distribution of joint costs has been made between the regions. This is also true for assets and liabilities reported in the note segment reporting below.

The cash fl ow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method, whereby net profi t or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash fl ow nature during the period as well as income or costs associated with the cash fl ow from investment or fi nancing activities.

Differences in accounting principles between the Group and the parent company

The annual report of the parent company has been prepared according to the Annual Accounts Act and by applying of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2:1 (Accounting for legal entities). RFR 2:1 states that a legal entity shall apply the same IFRS/IAS that is applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements, with exceptions for and additions of rules and laws mainly according to the Annual Accounts Act, and with consideration to the relation between accounting and taxation. The differences in accounting principles between the Group and the parent company are mentioned below.

Shares in subsidiaries

Shareholdings in subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent company according to the method of acquisition value. The book value is regularly compared to subsidiaries' group equity. When the book value is lower than the subsidiaries' group value, a write-down is made in the income statement. In the case when a previous write-down no longer can be justifi ed, it will be reversed.

Group contribution and shareholders' contribution

Group contributions and shareholders' contribution are accounted for according to a statement from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. Group contributions are recorded according to its fi nancial consequence. Group contributions submitted and received where the purpose is to minimize the total tax of the Group, and any tax effects there of, are recorded directly in the balance sheet as a deduction or an increase of non-restricted equity. Group contributions received which are considered equal to dividend are recorded as a fi nancial income in the income statement of the recipient and as a deduction of non-restricted equity by the contributor. Shareholders' contributions are recorded as an increase of shares in subsidiaries by the contributor and as an increase of non-restricted equity by the recipient.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities for the benefi t of subsidiaries are fi nancial guarantees and are accounted for in accordance with point 72 in RFR 2.2, i.e. they are not accounted for as provisions, instead Castellum gives information in the notes.

New standards and interpretations, which have been adopted by the EU and will come into effect from the fi nancial year 2009 and later.

IFRS 8 Operating segments

The standard became effective as of 1 January 2009 and applies to a fi nancial year starting on the same date. The standard covers the segmentation of the companies' operations. According to the standard the company shall have the internal reporting structure as a starting point in deciding reportable segments. The IFRS 8 does not imply any changes for Castellum, regarding the classifi cation of reportable segments. However, the accounted income measure for segments has changed to income from property management, which is also the line of income which each segment, as well as the group, is managed by.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

The standard, that is revised, will come into effect as of 1 january, 2009 and applies to a fi nancial year starting on the same date. The revision means e.g., that the company shall separate transactions with the owners from other transactions that can give changes in the value of the companies' assets and debts. This means that the report on changes in equity shall only consist of transactions with the owners and the fi nal line in the income statement. Today's income statement shall therefore be extended and complemented with accounted income and expenses that is today accounted for directly in equity, as an alternative those items shall be accounted for in a separate report placed direct after the income statement. The revised IAS 1 means no great changes for Castellum and the total comprehensive income is equal to net income for the year.

IAS 23 Borrowing costs

The standard became effective as of 1 January, 2009 and applies to a fi nancial year starting on the same date. The standard covers the accounting of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes time to complete for designated use or sale. The standard does no longer provide the option between treating such borrowing costs as expenses or capitalize them, they must be capitalized. For assets that are reported at fair value, companies can choose to not follow this standard. Castellum has chosen to apply IAS 23 on investment properties and capitalizes such costs in the group today, hence the changes will have no effect.

Changes in existing standards

A couple of lesser changes have been made in existing standards, which became effective as of 1 January 2009. Among other things the classifi cation of a property that is being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property has been changed in IAS 40 Investment Property. Such properties have previously been classifi ed as tangible fi xed assets and therefore been accounted for at acquisition value until they are completed. The change in IAS 40 means that also such properties shall be classifi ed as investment properties during the construction time and therefore be treated according to the same principles as other investment properties. This change and others will have no signifi cant effect on Castellum.

IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures

The revised standard, became effective as of 1 January 2009 and applies to fi nancial years starting on the same date. The standard regulates disclosure of fi nancial instruments and the revised version means increased disclosure requirements regarding among other things, fair value and liquidity risks. For Castellum the changes have had no signifi cant impact.

IFRS 3 Business Combinations

The standard became effective as of 1 July 2009 and shall be used on business acquisitions with acquisition date on the fi nancial year started as of this date, meaning that the fi rst time the standard will be applied is fi nancial year 2010. An indirect acquisition of a property through a company is classifi ed as a business combination or as an asset acquisition, which will affect the accounting. In the revised standard the defi nition of business combination has changed, which can affect the classifi cation. Besides, transaction costs that relates to the acquisition such as costs for consultants, legal representatives and valuations, will be accounted for in the income statement instead of previously being capitalized as part of the acquisition costs. For Castellum, the revised standard means that in the case of a business combination, due diligence costs will be accounted for in the income statement.

The Group's operational segments are the following geographical areas; Greater Gothenburg (incl. Borås, Halmstad, Alingsås), Öresund Region (Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg), Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen (Örebro, Västerås, Uppsala) and Eastern Götaland (Jönköping, Linköping, Värnamo and Växjö). The Group manages only commercial properties. The operational segments are identifi ed by geographical fi eld of activity, which is according to how they are followed-up and analyzed by the primarily executive decision maker in the Group. Greater Gothenburg is made up of two operational segments with similar economical characteristics and operations.

Rental Income

Rental value

Group rental income was SEKm 2,694 (2,501). The improvement is chiefl y an effect of investments made, but also higher rental levels. Rental income consists of the rental value with deduction of the value of vacant premises during the year. Rental value refers to the rental income received and the estimated market rent of unlet premises. The rental value also includes supplementary charges for the customer, such as heating, real estate tax and an index supplement. Rental value SEK/sq.m. for the different regions and types of properties are shown in the table below. Rental levels have increased by approx. 4% (3%) in comparable portfolio compared with previous year and is mainly an effect of index clause adjustments.

Renegotiation

Commercial leases, for which rents are paid quarterly in advance, are signed for a certain period of time, which means that a change in the market rents do not have an immediate effect on rental income. Rental levels can only be changed when the lease in question is due for renegotiation. The rental levels of Castellum are considered to be in line with the market.

Commercial leases include a so-called index clause, which provides for an upward adjustment of the rent, corresponding to a certain percentage of the infl ation during the previous year or a minimum upward adjustment. The negative infl ation during the year will lead to a downward index adjustment on the rental levels with 0.5% for 2010.

The lease maturity structure for Castellum's portfolio is shown in the table below, where lease value refers to annual value. An explanation of the relatively small portion in 2010 is that a majority of the leases maturing were already renegotiated in 2009 due to the period of notice. The most common terms for a new lease is 3-5 years with a nine months notice. The average remaining lease duration in the portfolio is 3.3 years (3.3).

Economic occupancy rate Castellum's average economic occupancy rate during 2009 was 89.8% (89.7%). The economic occupancy rate for warehouse and industrial properties amounted to 90.2% (88.9%) and for offi ce and retail properties 89.6% (90.2%). The total annual rental value for vacant premises during the year amounts to approx. SEKm 323.

The gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the year was SEKm 251 (305), of which SEKm 31 (48) were leasing on new construction, extension and reconstruction. Terminations amounted to SEKm 288 (221), of which bankruptcies was SEKm 31 (20), hence net leasing for the year were SEKm –37 (84). The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income thereof is estimated to between 9-18 months.

Castellum's lease portfolio has a good risk exposure. The Group has just over 4,400 commercial leases and 345 residential leases and their distribution in terms of size can be seen in the table below. The single largest lease as well as the single largest customer accounts for only approx. 1% of the Group's total rental income. The distribution of commercial leases across various business sectors is also good, as shown in the following table.

Property Costs Note 4

Property costs in 2009 was SEKm 942 (831), equivalent to SEK 300/sq.m. (268). This amount includes both direct property costs such as costs of operation, maintenance, ground rent and real estate tax, and indirect costs such as leasing and property management.

Operating expenses include electricity, heating, water, facilities management, cleaning, insurance, rent losses and property-specifi c marketing costs. Most of the operating expenses are passed on to the customers as supplements to the rent. For warehouse and industrial properties, however, customers are in most cases directly responsible for most of the operating costs. Operating expenses in 2009 were SEKm 512 (455), equivalent to SEK 163/sq.m. (146). Operating expenses, which are considered to be at a normal level for the business, are dependent on the weather, which means that they vary between both different years and seasons of the year. The increase is chiefl y an effect of a colder year compared to last year. Energy consumption for heating during the period has been calculated to 93% (85%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics. Operating expenses includes rent losses of SEKm 10 (12) corresponding to 0.4% of rental income. Operating expenses

Maintenance costs are ongoing measures to maintain the property's standard and technical systems. During 2009, the number of started maintenance activities have increased, which resulted in higher costs. The maintenance costs were SEKm 127 (96), equivalent to SEK 40/sq.m. (31). Maintenance

Ground rent for the year 2009 was SEKm 21 (21), and mainly related to Greater Stockholm. Ground rent is the fee paid annually to the municipality by the owner of a building on land owned by the municipality. The ground rent for these are currently calculated in a way that the municipality receives a fair real interest rate based on the estimated market value of the site. The site leaseholds are spread over a period of time and are in most cases renegotiated at intervals of 10 to 20 years. At the end of year 2009 Castellum had around 80 properties with site leasehold. Existing site leaseholds mature relatively even over the next 60 years. When notice is given for the site leaseholds shall, in most cases, the site owner (the municipality) compensate Castellum for buildings etc. However there are a few contracts where the municipality can demand that the land is restored.

Real estate tax

Group real estate tax was SEKm 127 (115), equivalent to SEK 40/sq.m. (37). Real estate tax is a state tax based on the property's tax assessment value. The greater part of the real estate tax is passed on to the customer provided that the premises are not vacant. If the premises are vacant, the owner of the property has to carry the real estate tax cost. The tax rate for 2009 was 1.0% of the tax assessment value for offi ce/retail properties and 0.5% for warehouse/industrial.

Leasing and property management The Group's leasing and property management costs for 2009 were SEKm 155 (144), equivalent to SEK 50/ sq.m. (47). Leasing and property management refers to the indirect costs of ongoing property management, comprising the costs of leasing operations, rent negotiation, lease administration, rent debiting, collecting rent and accounting as well as project administration costs and depreciation on equipment in subsidiaries. Of the costs SEKm 96 (91) refers to employee benefi ts and SEKm 6 (5) depreciation on equipment.

Central Administrative Expenses

Central administrative expenses include the costs of portfolio management, company administration and the costs of maintaining the Stock Exchange listing. This involves all of the costs of Castellum AB, comprising group management, treasury department, IT, personnel, investor relations, annual report, audit, and depreciation on equipment etc. At the subsidiary level, the fi gures include, costs for the MD and fi nancial manager as well as costs of preparing the annual report, audit etc. Of the costs, excl. the incentive plan described below, SEKm 41 (38) refers to employee benefi ts and SEKm 0 (0) is depreciation on equipment.

Central administrative expenses also include costs relating to a profi t and share price-related incentive plan for senior management and other senior executives, to the order of SEKm 14 (8).

Remuneration to auditors during the year were SEK 3,377,000 (3,896,000), of which SEK 2,207,000 (2,612,000) related to auditing assignments and the remainder to consulting. The corresponding amounts for the parent company were SEK 1,185,000 (979,000) and SEK 758,000 (708,000) respectively. Of the Group's total remuneration of SEK 3,377,000 (3,896,000), SEK 3,194,000 (3,637,000) refers to KPMG and the remainder to Ernst & Young.

Net fi nancial items were SEKm -541 (-626). During the year, interest costs of SEKm 14 (22) were capitalized in connection with investments in the real estate portfolio. The net fi nancial items have been affected positively with SEKm 140 due to that the average interest rate level decreased 1.0%-units to 3.7% (4.7%). When capitalizing interest costs the average rental level has been used.

Changes In Value

As a result of the turbulence in the international credit market, the transaction volume with reference to larger sales decreased, from SEKm 133,000 previous year to SEKm 30,000 in 2009. Signifi cant for the market during the year was that sales of rental housing and smaller transactions increased and that there mainly were national buyers. Half of the year's transactions volyme were carried out during the last three months, indicating a gradually normalized market, with a stabilization of the required yield as a consequence.

The total change in value of Castellum's portfolio during the year amounted to SEKm –1,027 (–1,262) corresponding to 3% of the property value. The change in value consists of SEKm approx. –600 referring to an generally increased estimated market yield during the fi rst six months, approx. SEKm –500 referring to changed future cashfl ow, just over SEKm 100 referring to profi ts in projects. The change in value has been affected of SEKm 2 due to a result of properties sold.

Castellum uses interest rate derivatives in order to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. If the agreed interest rate deviates from the market interest rate there is a theoretical surplus or sub value in the interest rate derivatives, where the non cash fl ow effecting changes in value are reported in the income statement. The value has changed, due to changes in long term market interest rates and the time factor, with SEKm 102 (–1 010) and the value was SEKm –865 (–966) at the end of the year.

Tax Costs

The income tax in Sweden for limited liability companies is 26.3%. In the income statement, the income tax is recorded as two entries, current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is based on the taxable income for the year, which is lower than the recorded net income for the year. This is mainly an effect of the possibility to: • use tax depreciation on buildings,

  • make tax deductions for certain reconstructions of the properties, which are capitalized in the accounts,
  • utilize existing tax loss carry forwards.

The deferred tax is a provision for the tax which will be paid in the future when the properties are directly sold, and the depreciation for tax purposes and the capitalized investments deducted for tax purposes are reversed.

As shown in the table below, there is in principle no taxable income for 2009, because Castellum uses the above mentioned depreciation for tax purposes, makes tax deductions on some reconstrucstions and utilizes existing tax loss carry forwards. The current paid tax that occur is because a few subsidiaries are not allowed to make fi scal group contributions.

The total tax may be different from nominal tax in those cases where there are recorded income / costs which are not taxable / tax deductible or as an effect of other tax adjustments. The total tax cost shown in Castellum's income statement 2009 is less than nominal tax, which mainly depends on tax deductible write-downs on shares in subsidiaries. The effective tax on income from property management, without consideration taken to the use of tax loss carry forwards, can be calculated to 3%. As shown in the table above the remaining tax loss carry forward are calculated to SEKm 1,885.

For the parent company deferred tax of SEKm 2 (32) has been recorded directly in equity since the underlying transaction has been recorded in that way.

Referring to the legal cases from May which inter alia affects the real estate business and mainly concerns selling partnership shares, it can be established that Castellum have not carried out the kind of transaction that has been tried by the Supreme Administrative Court.

Thereafter an anti-abuse provision has come, with a restriction in the right to deduction for capital losses on partnerships shares, which among others result in that the deferred tax asset on surplus values on such shares not can be accounted for any more. Castellum has no deferred tax asset regarding such surplus values in the accounts.

Moreover a new legal provision about tax-free capital gains on some partnership shares has come, meaning that negative adjusted acquisition values on such shares shall be reversed to taxation. For Castellum this may result in a deferred tax cost of SEKm 10, which has been reserved in this year's account.

During the year, The National Tax Board authorities have carried out a tax audit in Castellum, which has been completed without comments.

Executive management

Salaries, remuneration and benefi ts

Remuneration and benefi ts

Remuneration and benefi ts for the executive management is decided by the remuneration committee. The remuneration comprises a fi xed salary and a variable remuneration according to an incentive plan described below. The variable remuneration can, during the three-year period of the plan, amount to a maximum of three years salary.

The executive management, ten persons in total, have an incentive plan that comprises two parts:

  • One profi t-based part based on the result of income from property management compared to previous year and an overall determination of the development of certain soft factors such as customer and personnel satisfaction. Bonus the growth in income from property management per share has to be 10% per year. The profi t-based part is paid out yearly as salary after the year-end closing and can total no more than six month salary per year, for Castellum equal to a cost of SEKm 10, including social costs. The plan runs out at the end of 2010.
  • One share price-based part based on the total return on the Castellum share during a three-year period, both in nominal fi gures and compared with real estate index. In order to receive full bonus, the total return must be at least 50% during the period and the total return has to exceed the index development with at least 5%-units during the period. Any bonus due is paid as salary after the measurement period of June 2008 – May 2011. The share price-based part can during the three-year period total no more than one and a half years salary, for Castellum equal to a cost of SEKm 29 including social costs.

Executives in receipt of a variable remuneration according to the incentive plan, must to acquire Castellum shares for at least half of the amount of the bonus due after tax. The bonus paid does not affect pension contributions.

Pensions

Persons in the Executive management have defi ned contribution pensions with no other obligations for the company than to pay an annual premium during the time of employment. This implies that these persons, after completed employment, have the right to decide on their own, the time-frame during which the defi ned payments and subsequent return will be received as pension. The retirement age for the CEO and other members of the executive management is 65 years.

Notice of dismissal

The period of notice shall, when given from the company, not exceed 24 months regarding the managing director, with an obligation to continue his or her work during the fi rst six months, and 12 months regarding any other member of the executive management of the company, with an obligation to continue his or her work during the fi rst six months. The period of notice shall, when given by the managing director or any other member of the executive management of the company, be six months. During the period of notice, salary and other benefi ts are paid, with deduction of salary and remuneration deriving from another employment or activity.

Pensions for other employees

Absence due to illness

Other employees in Castellum have defi ned contribution pensions, with no other obligations for the company than to pay an annual premium during the time of employment. This implies that these persons, after completed employment, have the right to decide on their own, the time-frame during which the defi ned payments and subsequent return will be received as pension. However, there is an exception for about 25 employees within the Castellum Group that have defi ned ITP-plans instead with regular payments to Alecta. Insurance premiums paid to Alecta during the year amounted to SEKm 1 (1). The surplus in Alecta may be distributed to the insurance holder and/or the insured. Alecta's surplus in the collective consolidation level as of December had not been made offi cial at the time of signing of this annual report and can therefore not be reported. Alecta's latest offi cial consolidation level was as of September 2009 136.0% (December 2008: 112.0%). The collective consolidation level is made up of the market value of Alecta's assets as a percentage of the insurance obligations calculated according to Alecta's assumptions for calculating the insurance, which do not comply with IAS 19.

Absence due to illness for the year was 2% (2%), of which 0%-unit (0) are long-term sick leave. The absence due to illness for men and women were 1% (1%) and 2% (2%) respectively. The absence due to illness were 1% (1%) for the age group 29 years and younger, 1% (2%) for the age group 30-49 years and 2% (1%) for the age group 50 years or older. Absence due to illness for the parent company was 1% (0%).

During 2009, Castellum made investments totalling SEKm 1,165 (2,738), of which SEKm 126 (1,212) were acquisitions and SEKm 1,039 (1,526) new construction, extensions and reconstructions. Of the total investments SEKm 308 related to Greater Gothenburg, SEKm 278 to Greater Stockholm, SEKm 259 to Mälardalen, SEKm 219 to Eastern Götaland and SEKm 101 to the Öresund Region. Acquisitions during 2009 consisted of the properties Olskroken 35:7, 35:9 and 35:14 in Gothenburg for SEKm 96 and 3 properties consisting of undeveloped land for a total of SEKm 30. The Group acquisition value of SEKm 126 comprises partly a cash fl ow acquisition value of SEKm 118 and partly a deferred tax liability of SEKm 8. The single largest company acquisition was 0.1% of Castellum's total assets. If the properties owned by Castellum at the end of the year, would have been owned during the entire year, the net operating income can be calculated to SEKm 1,784.

Castellum has no signifi cant obligations to acquire or sell any investment property. However, Castellum is obligated to complete ongoing investments of a further SEKm 800 in addition to what is accounted for in the balance sheet.

According to accepted theory, the value of an asset consists of the net present value of the future cash fl ows that the asset is expected to generate. This section aims to describe and illustrate Castellum's cash fl owbased model for calculation of the value of the real estate portfolio. The value of the real estate portfolio is calculated in this model as the total present value of net operating income minus remaining investments on ongoing projects, during the next nine years and the present value of the estimated residual value in year ten. The residual value in year ten consists of the total present value of net operating income during the remaining economic life span. The estimated market value of undeveloped land is added to this.

The required yield and the assumption regarding future real growth are of crucial importance for the calculated value of the real estate portfolio, as they are the most important value-driving factors in the valuation model. The required yield is the weighted cost of borrowed capital and equity. The cost of borrowed capital is based on the market interest rate for loans. The cost of equity is based on a "risk-free interest rate" equivalent to the long-term government bond rate with the addition of a "risk premium". The risk premium is unique to each investment and depends on the investor's perception of future risk and potential.

To illustrate the model, the following example is provided. It should be noted that assumptions regarding cash fl ow growth and other assumptions included in the model are only intended to illustrate the model. The example should thus not be regarded as a forecast of the company's expected earnings.

Signifi cant obligations

Valuation model

Assumptions in the example:

  • The economic occupancy rate is assumed to increase in order to reach a long-term level of 95% in the year 2014.
  • Net operating income for 2009 is based on the result for the investment properties, with an assumed cost of SEK 30/sq.m. for pure property administration.
  • Growth in rental value and property costs has been assumed to 1.5% per year during the calculation period.
  • The average economic life of the real estate portfolio has been assumed to be 50 years.
  • Projects, undeveloped land and building rights have an assumed value SEKm 1,525.
  • The required yield is calculated according to the following assumptions:
Required yield Percentage of capital Weighted required yield
Equity 9.3% - 19.3% 40% 3.7% - 7.7%
Borrowed capital 5.5% 60% 3.3%
Weighted required yield 100% 7.0% - 11.0%

Internal valuation

Castellum records the investment properties at fair value and has made an internal valuation of all properties as of December 31, 2009. The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner, and was based on a tenyear cash fl ow model, which was described in principle above. The internal valuation was based on an individual assessment for each property of both its future earnings capacity and its required market yield. In assessing a property's future earnings capacity we took into account an assumed level of infl ation of 1.5% and potential changes in rental levels from each contract's rent and expiry date compared with the estimated current market rent, as well as changes in occupancy rate and property costs. Included in property costs are operating expenses, maintenance, ground rent, real estate tax, and leasing and property administration. Possible premiums paid on portfolios have not been taken into account.

Assumptions of the required yield etc.

The required yield on equity is different for each property, and is based on assumptions regarding real interest rate, infl ation and risk premium. The risk premium is different for each property and can be divided into two parts - general risk and individual risk. The general risk makes up for the fact that a real estate investment is not as liquid as a bond, and that the asset is affected by the general economic situation. The individual risk is specifi c to each property, and comprises a weighted assessment of; the property's category, the town/city in which the property is located, the property's location within the town/city with reference to the property's category, if the property has the right design, is appropriate and makes effi cient use of space, the property's technical standard with regard to such criteria as the choice of materials, the quality of public installations, furnishing and equipment on the premises and apartments and the nature of the lease agreements, with regard to such issues as the length, size and number of agreements and where appropriate adjustment for leasehold land.

In order to calculate the required yield on total capital, an assumption has been made about the cost of borrowed capital of 5.5%. The required yield of borrowed capital comprises the real interest rate and infl ation. The loan to value ratio is assumed to be 55%-65%, depending on the property category.

The required yield on total capital is calculated by weighting the required yield on equity and the cost of borrowed capital depending on the capital structure. The required yield on total capital is used to discount the expected 10-year future cash fl ows, while the residual value is discounted by calculating the return on total capital minus growth which is set equal to the infl ation.

The assumptions that form the basis for Castellum's valuation are shown in the table below.

Assumptions per property category 31-12-2009 Offi ce/Retail Warehouse/Industrial
Real interest rate 3.0% 3.0%
Infl ation 1.5% 1.5%
Risk 6.0% -13.2% 8.0% - 14.5%
Return on equity 10.5% - 17.7% 12.5% - 19.0%
Interest rate 5.5% 5.5%
Loan to value ratio 65% 55%
Return on total capital 7.2% - 9.8% 8.6% - 11.6%
Required yield minus growth equal to infl ation 5.7% - 8.3% 7.1% - 10.1%

The total change in value of Castellum's portfolio during the year amounted to SEKm –1,027 (–1,262) corresponding to –3% (–4%) of the property value. The change in value consists of SEKm approx. –600 referring to an generally increased estimated market yield of 0.2%-units during the fi rst six months, approx. SEKm –500 referring to changed future cashfl ow, just over SEKm 100 referring to profi ts in projects. The change in value has been affected of SEKm 2 due to a result of properties sold. The normalized yield for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects and undeveloped land, can be calculated to 7.3% (7.4%). Contracted rental levels are considered to be in line with the market levels.

Development projects and building rights

Projects in progress have been valued using the same principle, but with deductions for remaining investment. Sites with building rights and undeveloped land have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre on average approx. SEK 1 000 per sq.m. (900).

The value of the real estate portfolio

The internal valuation shows a fair value of SEKm 29,267 (29,165), which is a decrease in value of approx. –3% (–4%). Of the value approx. SEKm 2,800 are properties hold through site leasehold rights, with a rental income of SEKm 308. The table below shows the fair value distributed by property category and region.

External valuation

In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation 129 properties, representing 51% of the value of the portfolio, were valued by NAI Svefa. The properties were selected on the basis of the largest properties in terms of value, but also in order to refl ect the composition of the portfolio as a whole in terms of category and geographical location of the properties. NAI Svefa's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 14,981, within an uncertainty range of +/– 5-10% on property level. The size of the uncertainty range varies depending on each property's category and location. Castellum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 14,990, i. e. a net change of SEKm 9 corresponding to 0.1%. Gross deviation was SEKm +495 respectively SEKm –504 with an average deviation of 7%.

Uncertainty range

A property's market value can only be confi rmed when it is sold. Property valuations are calculations performed according to accepted principles and on the basis of certain assumptions. The value range of +/– 5-10% often used in property valuations should be seen as an indication of the uncertainty that exists in such assessments and calculations. In a less liquid market, the range can be bigger. For Castellum, an uncertainty range of +/– 5%, means a range in value of +/– 1,463 SEKm which corressponds to SEKm 27,804 – 30,730.

Shareholders' Equity and Net Asset Value

Share capital

The share capital as of 31 December, 2009 consisted of 172,006,708 registered A-shares with one vote per share and a par value of 0.50 per share. All shares are fully paid. Of the registered shares, Castellum owns 8,006,708, to a total nominal value of SEK 4,003,354. The number of outstanding shares thus totals 164,000,000, which is the same amount as for the corresponding period previous year. The repurchased shares do not carry any voting rights and are not entitled to dividend. There are no restrictions regarding dividend or other types of repayment. There is no potential common stock such as convertible shares, or preferential rights to accumulated dividend (preference shares).

Restricted and nonrestricted equity

According to the Swedish Companies Act shareholders' equity is made up of restricted (non-distributable) and non-restricted (distributable) equity. Dividend to the shareholders may only be such that there after the distribution is full coverage for restricted equity in the parent company. Further, distribution of profi ts may only be made if it is justifi ed with respect to the demands put on the amount of equity needed by the type of business, extent and risk of operations, company and Group consolidation needs, liquidity and fi nancial position in general.

During the year 2000, Castellum repurchased 8,006,708 of the company's own shares for a total of SEKm 194, equivalent to 4.7% of the total registered number of shares. Since then no repurchase of the company's own shares have been made.

Dividend is proposed by the Board of Directors according to the rules of the Companies Act and decided by the annual general meeting. The proposed dividend, not yet paid out, for the fi nancial year 2009 is SEK 3.50 per share, SEKm 574 in total. The amount is recorded as debt after the annual general meeting has approved the dividend.

Net asset value can be calculated both short and long term. Long term net asset value is based on the balance sheet with adjustments for items that will not lead to any short term payment, such as in Castellum's case, interest rate derivatives and deferred tax liability. This means that shareholders' equity according to the balance sheet shall increase with SEKm 865 and SEKm 2,824 respectively. Net asset value today is equity according to the balance sheet adjusted for deferred tax liability. Present accounting principles states that the deferred tax liability shall be recognized at nominal 26.3%, while the real deferred tax is substantially lower, due to the possibility so sell properties in a taxeffi cient way and the time factor. The present assessment is that the discounted real deferred tax liability does not exceed 5%, meaning that an additional SEKm 2,287 should be recorded in equity.

The value range of +/– 5-10% often used in property valuations should be viewed as an indication of the uncertainty that exists in assessments and calculations made. For Castellum this is equal to a range of SEKm +/- 1,390 after tax.

Castellum's objective based on growth in cash fl ow and is not directly related to net asset value. The objective is an annual growth in cash fl ow, i.e. income from property management per share, of at least 10%. In order to achieve this objective, investments of at least SEKm 1,000 per year will be made. All investments will contribute to the objective of growth in income from property management within 1-2 years and have a potential asset value growth of at least 10%. Sales of properties will take place when justifi ed from a business standpoint and when an alternative investment with a higher yield can be found. Castellum will have a stable capital structure, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.

During 2010, current interest-bearing liabilities amounting to SEKm 1,234 (148) are due for payment, but since they are covered by unutilized long-term credit agreements, they are treated as long-term interestbearing liabilities. The fair value of the liabilities are equal to the book value. Interest rate derivatives in the balance sheet is made up of a valuation that will not be settled in cash.

Tax loss carry forwards

Deferred Tax Liability / Asset

A realization of all assets and liabilities to book value for the Group and utilization of all existing tax loss carry forward would, as is shown in the table below, result in a taxable income of SEKm 12,624 (10,589), equivalent to a tax payment of SEKm 2,824 (2,785).

As far as the parent company is concerned the deferred tax asset of SEKm 225 (241) consists of 26.3% of the unutilized tax loss carry forwards of SEKm 859 (916). Out of the change in deferred tax liabilities during the year, SEKm –6 (32) has been recorded directly in equity.

Castellum's tax loss carry forwards were estimated to SEKm 1,885 (1,830) December 31, 2009. The change may be seen in the table in note 9.

When calculating the tax effect on a sale of all properties in the Group, the book value in the Group of SEKm 29,267 (29,165) must be compared to the residual value for tax purposes in the legal entity, which amounts to SEKm 16,643 (16,746). This means that if all of Castellum's properties were sold, the taxable net profi t would exceed the recorded profi t in the Group by SEKm 12,624 (12,419). The accounts are based on the assumption that each property is sold by each legal entity with a maximum effective tax rate. Previous writedowns where tax deductions have been assessed amount to more than SEKm 300. These may be reversed in the case of future increases in value.

Interest Rate Derivatives

Castellum's strategy of using interest rate derivatives in order to manage the interest rate risk and achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure means that there may be changes in value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio from time to time. These changes occur partly due to changes in market interest rates and partly due to the time factor. As of December 31, 2009 the market value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio amounted to SEKm – 865 (–966). An parallel adjustment of the discounting interest rate used in the valuation of the interest rate derivatives portfolio as of December 31, 2009 of 1%-unit would affect the value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio by SEKm +460 / –390.

The table below shows the interest rate derivatives portfolio's nominal net amount and market value as of 31-12-2009 and the market value of the portfolio with a +/- 1%-unit change in the interest rate. Interest rate derivatives which include an option has, based on the date of termination, been reported in the same time segment as prior to the assumed change in interest rate. Future liquidity fl ows in interest rate derivatives are made up of paid interest rate according to the table below with deduction of the received interest rate mainly corresponding to current Stibor 3 month at cash point time. The net fl ow of these items are recognized as interest rate cost.

Long-term Interest-bearing Liabilities

Castellum's funding and management of fi nancial risk are conducted in accordance with the fi nancial policy adopted by the Board of Directors. The fi nancial operations are centralized to the parent company. The treasury department in the parent company operates as the Group's internal bank with responsibility for the Group´s long-term funding and liquidity needs, interest rate risk management, fi nancing for subsidiaries and cash management.

The objectives in the fi nancial policy are:

  • Maintaining a stable capital structure, with a loan to value ratio not exceeding 55% in the long run and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.
  • Securing the required liquidity and long-term funding.
  • Achieving low and stable net interest expense within the given risk authorization.

The fi nancial policy outlines the given authorization and limits for managing fi nancial risks defi ned in the policy, overall delegation of responsibilities and how fi nancial risk should be reported. The parent company holds a function, separated from the treasury department, that provides accounting and independent control of the fi nancial management and the fi nancial risks. Financial risks defi ned in the fi nancial policy, are reported quarterly to the Board of Directors. In order to improve and adjust the fi nancial risk management the Board of Directors reveiws of the fi nancial policy each year.

The fi nancial operations in Castellum shall be run in such manner that the costs for fi nancial risk management are minimized. Meaning that Castellum carries out fi nancial transactions based on estimations of the Group's overall long-term funding needs, liquidity and increased interest rate risk. Hence, the fi nancial risk management is carried out on portfolio level. Portfolio management of funding means that an intra Group transaction, such as an internal loan, is not replicated by an identical external transaction. Instead loans are drawn under short or long term credit agreements, based on the Group's overall funding needs. For a cost effective management of the interest rate risk an assessment is made of the interest rate risk that occurs when a payment is made or a new loan is drawn with short fi xed interest term under different credit agreements, followed by interest rate derivative transactions are made in order to achieve the desired fi xed interest term on the total amount of debts. The internal bank works with a cash pool system of bank accounts for the Group´s liquidity fl ows.

The treasury department arranges loans under Castellum's credit agreements, issues bonds or commercial papers in order to provide funding for the subsidiaries owning the properties. The credit agreements provide Castellum the right to choose both short-term and long-term fi xed interest rates and sometimes even the right to choose interest rate base, i.e. each credit institute's offered variable interest rate, Stibor interest rate or fi xed interest rate.

The credit agreements can be divided into following categories:

  • Loans pledged by Castellum's receivables from subsidiaries, including mortgages. Utilized credits secured by pledged mortgages were at the end of the year SEKm 14,583. In addition to the mortgages the majority of the credit agreements include commitments regarding loan to value ratio and interest coverage ratio, so called fi nancial covenants. In all cases the fi nancial covenants are issued with in safe margins to Castellum´s objectives for the capital structure and state a loan to value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%.
  • Loans directly to subsidiaries pledged by mortgages. Loans directly to subsidiary have, in the majority of the cases, also a guaranteed commitment from the parent company.
  • Unsecured loans.
  • Issuing of bonds, without pledged securitiy.
  • Issuing of commercial papers, without pledged security.

Irrespective of the type of credit agreement they include usual conditions for cancellation and sometimes also conditions for renegotiation if there is a material adverse change in business or in the case of discontinued stock exchange listing. If the lender, in such renegotiation calls on the right and the parties cannot agree, the agreements contain specifi ed terms for the time of termination for those agreements covered by such conditions.

Castellum can increase or decrease the allocation under the long-term credit agreements with short notice. The objective is to minimize the interest-bearing liabilities, and cash is therefore used primarily to repay outstanding debts.

In order to secure Castellum's need liquidity and long-term funding, Castellum are regularly re-negotiating and, when needed entering into new credit agreements or forms of borrowing. During the year Castellum has signed a net of new long term credit agreements with Nordic banks totaling SEKm 1,262 and renegotiated and extended credit agreements totaling SEKm 6,200.

The average effective interest rate as of 31 December, 2009 was 3.8% (4.8%) and the average interest rate for the year was 3.7% (4.2%).The average fi xed interest term as at the year-end was 2.8 years (2.9) and the interest rate for an equal portfolio, regarding both current market interest rates and spreads, can be assessed to 3.1% (4.6%). Castellum normally makes draw downs of short-term loans under long-term credit agreements. Interest rates that fall due within 12 months consist of short fi xed interest, long-term fi xed interest with a short remaining duration, in some cases derivatives containing options, and fees such as facility fees and commitment fees.

Subsequent Events

The Board of Directors of Castellum AB intends to propose the annual general meeting a dividend of SEK 3.50 per share, which is an increase of 11% compared to previous year.

The Financial Reports are a part of the Annual Report and were signed by the Board of Directors on January 26, 2010.

The Income Statement and the Balance Sheet for the Parent Company and the Group shall be adopted at Castellum AB's Annual General Meeting, which is expected to take place on March 25, 2010.

Proposed Distribution of Profits

The following funds are at the Annual General Meetings disposal: Retained profits SEK 2,974,023,114 Net income for the year SEK – 610,757,537

SEK 3,584,780,651
The Board of Directors propose that the retained profits be appropriated as follows:
Dividend to shareholders, SEK 3.50 per share SEK 574,000,000
Carried forward to the new accounts SEK 3,010,780,651
SEK 3,584,780,651

The company has 172,006,708 registered shares, of which 8,006,708 are currently the company's own repurchased shares and are not entitled to dividends.

The total dividend payment proposed above of SEK 574,000,000 can be changed if the number of the companys own repurchased shares changes before the record date for the dividend.

Statement regarding Proposed Distribution of Profit

Reasons

The Group's equity has been calculated in accordance with IFRS standards, approved by the EU, and the interpretations of these standards (IFRIC), as well as in accordance with the provisions of Swedish law by application of the recommendation RFR 1.1 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board (Supplementary accounting principles for groups). The equity of the parent company has been calculated in accordance with Swedish law and by application of the recommendation RFR 2.1 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board (Accounting for Legal Persons).

The proposed distribution constitutes 69 % of the Group's income from property management after tax, which is in line with the express target to distribute at least 60 % of the Group's income from property mana gement after tax, having considered investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position. The Group's net income after changes in value and tax amounted to SEKm 160. The distribution policy is based on the Group's income from property management, on account of which increases and/or decreases in value on the Group's properties and on interest rate derivatives not affecting cash fl ow, do not normally affect the distribution. That kind of profi t or loss, not affecting cash fl ow, have furthermore not been taken into consideration in previous year's resolutions regarding distribution of profi t.

The Board of Directors concludes that the Company's restricted equity is fully covered after the proposed distribution.

The Board of Directors also concludes that the proposed distribution to the shareholders is justifi ed considering the parameters in section 17 subsection 3, second and third paragraphs of the Swedish Companies Act (the nature, scope and risks of the business as well as consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position). The Board of Directors would in this context like to emphasise the following.

The nature, scope and risks of the business

The Board of Directors estimates that the equity of the Company as well as the Group will, after the proposed distribution, be suffi cient in relation to the nature, scope and risks of the business. The Board of Directors has in this context considered inter alia the historical development of the Company and the Group, budgeted development, investment plans and the economic situation.

Consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position

Consolidation needs

The Board of Directors has made a general estimation of the fi nancial position of the Company and the Group, and the possibilities of fulfi lling their obligations in the long run. The proposed dividend constitutes 16% of the Company's equity and 6% of the Group's equity. The express target for the Group's capital structure, entailing a solvency of 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%, will be maintained after the proposed dividend. The solvency of the Company and the Group is good considering the prevailing conditions of the real estate business. In light of the above, the Board of Directors concludes that the Company and the Group have all the necessary requirements to take future business risks and to also carry potential losses. Planned investments have been considered when deciding on the proposed dividend. The dividend will furthermore not adversely affect the ability of the Company or the Group to make additional, motivated, investments according to assumed plans.

Liquidity

The proposed dividend will not affect the Company's or the Group's ability to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner. The Company and the Group have good access to liquidity reserves through short-term as well as long-term credits. The credits may be utilised at short notice, meaning that the Company and the Group are prepared to handle liquidity fl uctuations as well as possible unexpected events.

Overall position

The Board of Directors has considered all other known conditions which might affect the fi nancial position of the Company and the Group and which have not been considered within the scope of the above considerations. No circumstances have however been found showing that the proposed dividend would not be justifi ed.

Evaluation to actual value

Derivatives instruments and other fi nancial instruments have been valued to the actual value according to section 4 subsection 14a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The valuation has showed a under value of SEKm 638, which has afftected the equity by the mentioned amount.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual accounts, the consolidated accounts and the administration based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain high but not absolute assurance that the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and their application by the board of directors and the managing director and signifi cant estimates made by the board of directors and the managing director when preparing the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts as well as evaluating the overall presentation of information in the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts. As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, we examined signifi cant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to be able to determine the liability, if any, to the company of any board member or the managing director. We also examined whether any board member or the managing director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion set out below.

The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and give a true and fair view of the company's fi nancial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the Annual Accounts Act and give a true and fair view of the group's fi nancial position and results of operations. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts.

We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the income statements and balance sheets of the parent company and the group be adopted, that the profit of the parent company be dealt with in accordance with the proposal in the administration report and that the members of the board of directors and the managing director be discharged from liability for the financial year.

Defi nitions

Counterparty risk/Credit risk

The risk that a counterparty does not complete delivery or payment.

Currency risk

The risk that changes in the exchange rate will effect income and cash flow.

Data per share

In calculating income and cash flow per share the average number of shares has been used, whereas in calculating assets, shareholders' equity and net asset value per share the number of outstanding shares has been used.

Dividend pay out ratio

Dividend yield

Proposed dividend as a percentage of the share price at the year end.

Economic occupancy rate

Rental income accounted for during the period as a percentage of rental value for properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/completed during the period have been restated as if they had been owned or completed during the whole year, while properties disposed of have been excluded entirely. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded.

EPRA EPS (Earnings Per Share)

Income from property management adjusted for nominal tax attributable to income from property management, divided with the average number of shares. With taxable income from property management means income from property management with a deduction for tax purposes of depreciation and reconstruction.

Equity/assets ratio

Disclosed equity as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period.

Funding risk

The risk that no funding is available or very unfavourable at a given point in time.

Income from property management

Net income for the period/year after reversal of changes in value and tax.

Interest coverage ratio

Income from property management after reversal of net financial items as a percentage of net financial items.

Interest rate risk

The risk that changes in the market interest rate will effect income and cash flow.

Liquidity risk

The risk of not having access to liquidity or unutilized credit facilities in order to settle payments due.

Loan to value ratio

Interest-bearing liabilities as a percentage of of the properties' fair value with deduction for acquired properties not taken in possession, and with addition for properties disposed of, still in possession, at the year-end.

Net asset value long term (EPRA NAV)

Reported equity according to the balance sheet, adjusted for interest rate derivatives and deferred tax.

Net asset value (EPRA NNNAV)

Reported equity according to the balance sheet, adjusted for 5% deferred tax instead of nominal deferred tax.

Net operating income margin

Outstanding number of shares - the number of shares registered with a deduction for the company's own repurchased shares at a given point in time.

Average number of shares - the weighted average number of outstanding shares during a given period.

Operating expenses, maintenance, etc.

This item includes both direct property costs, such as operating expenses, maintenance, ground rent and real estate tax, as well as indirect costs for leasing and property administration.

Operational risk

The risk of incurring losses due to insufficient procedures and/or improper actions.

Property type

The property's primary rental value with regard to the type of premises. Premises for purposes other than the primary use may therefore be found within a property type.

Rental income

Rents debited plus supplements such as reimbursement of heating costs and real estate tax.

Rental value

Rental income plus estimated market rent for vacant premises.

Return on net asset value

Income after tax as a percentage of average ((opening balance+ closing balance-income after tax)/2) net asset value, but with 5% deferred tax instead of nominal tax. In the interim accounts the return has been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.

Return on total capital

Income before tax with reversed net financial items and changes in value on derivatives as a percentage of average ((opening balance+closing balance-changes in value on properties)/2) total capital. In the interim accounts the return has been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.

SEK per square metre

Property-related key ratios, expressed in terms of SEK per square metre, are based on properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/completed during the year have been restated as if they had been owned or completed for the whole year, while properties disposed of have been excluded entirely. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded. In the interim accounts key ratios have been recalculated on an annual basis, disregarding seasonal variations normally occurring in operations.
