CEO's Comments

Castellum stands stronger than ever

"Dare to make changes – even when successful", was the main heading for my CEO's comments of last year.

2014 also turned out to be a year when Castellum carried out the largest changes in our real estate portfolio in a very long time. We implemented major sales for close to SEK 3 billion in markets where we ascertained that future growth will not be so high. Furthermore, we invested SEK 2.5 billion in markets where we believe growth will be considerable. During such a comprehensive change process, it is not uncommon for individual years to have a lower investment rate than targeted, which occurred this year.

However, Castellum still managed to deliver 8% growth in income from property management in 2014 – slightly better than for 2013. In addition, Castellum also strengthened its fi nancial position.

Due to the changes implemented, our good earnings capacity, low loan-to-value ratio and access to long-term credits, Castellum now has an investment capacity of SEK 6 billion.

The growth in income from property management can be explained by three main components: existing portfolio, investments and interest rate market.

Our existing portfolio operates over several districts in a rental market with slightly lower vacancy rates and stable rents. Furthermore, rental income increased, due to leases being drawn up with an eye to protecting against a weaker macro-economic environment. Costs were reduced through effi ciency actions, plus the fact that 2014 was warmer than the previous year. Investments and completed projects and falling interest rates also contributed to cash fl ow growth.

In light of Castellum's earnings and fi nancial strength, the Board proposes raising the dividend to SEK 4.60, which corresponds to an increase of 8%. This means that we have enjoyed growth in property management income as well as increased dividends every year since the IPO in 1997, by an average of 12% per year.

In 2014, the real estate market was driven by strong demand and growth expectations, which increased turnover and slightly decreased required yield – especially in big-city regions. Turnover in the Swedish real estate market was the highest since 2008.

Sweden's urbanization rate is one of the fastest in Europe. Economic growth is greatest in the growing regions in the southern part of the country. Successful communities are characterized by technical development – but also tolerance. Regions that provide opportunities for excellent education – those which embrace diversity and openness – are hence the most attractive ones.

Castellum operates here, in these parts of Sweden where 65% of the country's population lives and works. We're creating the conditions to further participate in the construction of the workplaces of tomorrow. Our project activity is high and here are some examples:

At year-end, Semcon moved to its new headquarters of 9,000 sq.m. at Lindholmen, Gothenburg, and we are currently planning for new environmentally classifi ed offi ce premises of just over 9,000 sq.m. in the same area. In Jönköping, the development of two new city blocks is almost completed, and we continue the construction of a fl exible offi ce building of more than 2,100 sq.m. In central Uppsala, we have completed the city's most modern offi ce and are currently planning for another 8,000 sq.m. in close proximity to the Travel Centre. When it comes to logistics facilities, we have constructed Puma's Nordic, fully automated distribution centre of 9,600 sq.m. in Helsingborg. We're also currently preparing for participation in the construction of a logistics centre on Hisingen, Gothenburg, over the next few years. When completed, this major project will enable continued expansion of the port of Gothenburg, where Castellum plans new facilities of approx. 75,000 sq.m. in total.

During the year, we welcomed two new subsidiary managers into the management team: Cecilia Fasth at Eklandia Fastighets AB and Ola Orsmark at Fastighets AB Briggen. Ulrika Danielsson acquired a new role as CFO of the Group.

I'm convinced that profi cient and committed employees generate satisfi ed customers, and we're happy to say that in 2014, our NKI (Satisfi ed Customer Index) rose to a level well above the sector benchmark.

Castellum also continued important sustainability activities, which are a condition for the company's development and long-term economic growth. I am proud that we have offered apprentices, holiday workers, interns and trainees a chance to gain hands-on work experience. Castellum has the lead when it comes to environmentally classifi ed buildings: For example, our portfolio includes 30% of all Swedish Green Building certifi ed properties.

In 2014, we signed the Global Compact, the UN's ten principles on how the business sector can take global responsibility concerning the environment, working conditions and corruption. Furthermore, we established a whistleblower function to report concerns that could seriously affect the company – or a person's life and health – to ensure compliance with company values and ethical principles.

Castellum, currently one of the largest real estate companies in Sweden, has never had the goal of becoming the largest player, but has managed - in accordance with our ambitious cash-fl ow goals - to achieve continuous growth. The company continues to operate with lower fi nancial risk than the industry average. It is pleasing to note that the Board once again proposes an increase in dividend, and that the long-term net asset value after dividend, increased by 7% in 2014.

I look forward to 2015 - a year with continued, if cautious, growth in Sweden. To achieve our growth objective in such an economy and against the background of Castellum's strategic sales during last autumn, it is important that we continue high activity and focus on effi cient and sustainable management, as well as on investments.

I would like to take this opportunity to once again sincerely thank all our shareholders and stakeholders for your trust during 2014.

Castellum's business opportunities are created by providing our customers with increased business opportunities

Castellum focuses on properties with commercial space. Our business model is about creating economic growth by increasing the business value of the premises for our customers.

The Group works with office, retail, warehouse, logistics and industrial facilities, centrally located downtown or in commercially attractive areas outside the city centre. What matters is that they accommodate business opportunities – for us as well as for our customers.

Castellum's 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 fi ve growth regions.

Our business model

Castellum's business model focuses on management and development of the property portfolio.

Development through investments

The real estate and the rental market are dependent on long-term economic growth. Hence, Castellum needs to be present in region areas with anticipated high growth rates.

Castellum actively works with developing the real estate portfolio in order to improve cash flow and thereby increase property value. Castellum will continue to grow through customer demand. This will mainly occur through new constructions, extensions and reconstructions which are expected to generate high returns, but also through the acquisition of buildings and building rights for future development.

Sales of properties will take place when justified from a business standpoint.

The real estate portfolio will consist of commercial properties, and distribution among various real estate categories is determined by business opportunities, cash flow, risk exposure and the value growth of assets.

Leasing and property management

Castellum will be a company with a strong and clear customer focus, long-term customer relations and providing properties and services that meet and exceed customer needs.

Service and property management is mainly carried out by employed personnel, in a decentralized and small-scale organization with wholly owned subsidiaries. A strong local presence provides knowledge of customer needs and requirements.

Castellum continuously works with improving productivity to obtain more cost- and resource-efficient property management. Risk within customer circles will be kept low by spreading the risk over many fields of business, length of contracts and size of contracts.

Leasing and property mana ent through investments Focus on cash-flow growth of at least 10%, coupled with low financial risk, provides the background conditions for robust company growth and offers shareholders a competitive dividend.

Financing with low risk

Financing with low risk

Castellum has chosen to operate the business at low financial risk. Selected risk measures are loan-to-value ratio (i.e. the proportion of the property value that may be covered by loans) and interest-coverage ratio (i.e. the ability of a company to cover its interest expenses).

Developm

For Castellum, the loan-to-value ratio will not permanently exceed 55% and the interestcoverage ratio will be at least 200%. Funding is obtained through credit and capital markets.

Overall objective

Castellum's overall objective is an annual growth in cash flow, i.e. income from property management per share, of at least 10%

Income from property management

Strategy for the property portfolio and its management

Development of commercial properties in growth regions

Geography and category

Castellum's real estate portfolio is located in the fi ve growth regions Greater Gothenburg, Öresund Region, Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen and Eastern Götaland. This, together with rational property management and a strong presence in the market, provides for good business opportunities.

The real estate portfolio will consist of commercial properties with general and fl exible premises for offi ce, retail, warehouse, logistics and industry purposes.

Property portfolio development

The real estate portfolio will be continuously enhanced and developed in order to improve cash fl ow. Castellum will continue to grow with customer demand, mainly through new constructions, extensions and reconstructions but also through acquisitions.

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%. Sales of properties will take place when justifi ed from a business standpoint.

Customer focus through local organizations

Customers

Castellum will be perceived as a customer focused company. This is achieved by developing long-term relations and supplying premises and services meeting customer demands.

Organization and employees

Service and property management will be delivered by a decentralized organization with wholly owned subsidiaries

with strong local presence. Property management will be carried out mainly by our own employed personnel. Castellum shall have skilled and committed employees, which is achieved by being an attractive workplace with good development possibilities.

The business will contribute to sustainable development, in view of ecological, social and economic aspects.

Strategy for funding

Strong balance sheet with low financial and operational risk

Capital structure

Castellum will have low fi nancial risk. The chosen risk key ratios are loan to value and interest coverage ratio. Purchase or transfer of own shares will be available as a method for adjusting the company's capital structure to the company's capital need and as payment or funding of real estate investments. Company owned shares may not be traded for short term purpose of capital gain.

The stock and credit markets

Castellum will work for a competitive total return on the company's share relative to risk and also strive for high liquidity.

All actions will be made from a longterm perspective and the company will hold frequent, open and fair reports to shareholders, the capital and credit markets and the media, without disclosing any individual business relationship.

Low operational risk

Castellum's real estate portfolio has a geographical distribution covering fi ve Swedish growth regions and will consist of various types of commercial premises. The risk within in the customer portfolio will be kept low.

Financially, Castellum is one of Sweden's largest real estate companies, but we have no ambition to become the largest. On the contrary – an important part of our business model is to focus on selected markets which demonstrate optimal conditions for development.

Castellum operates in fi ve strong growth regions in Sweden; from Mälardalen and Greater Stockholm, down via Eastern Götaland to Greater Gothenburg and the Öresund Region. Together, these fi ve markets represent 65% of the Swedish population. Castellum's objective is to be one of the three largest real estate companies in each market.

Market comments

Swedish economy

Sweden, with over 9.7 million inhabitants, is a country with an open and strong economy. This is primarily due to a stable and transparent business climate, high education levels, healthy public finances and high productivity. Sweden has long and extensive experience in international trade and international relations. This is evident from its relatively large share of world-leading corporations. The high export dependency of Swedish industry contributes to the fact that, historically, Sweden has shown the strong adaptability required to re-structure the economy during economic changes.

The Swedish economy continues to improve, although recovery is somewhat modest. The current economy continues to be divided into two parts: a strong domestic demand driving growth, and a sluggish export market. Exports usually comprise the major driving force behind a Swedish economic recovery. The latter can partially be attributed to the fact that economic development has been weak in some parts of the world – particularly in the Euro zone – where geopolitical turmoil has further dampened the economy.

The economic situation in Sweden and abroad, along with sharply falling oil prices, has resulted in very low infl ation, which is expected to remain low in the coming year.

Despite the economic situation, the labour market continues to developed positively and the employment rate is rising in most sectors, with the exception of manufacturing.

Macro indicators

Unemployment 7.0% (December 2014)
Inflation rate – 0.3% (December 2014 compared to December 2013)
GDP growth 2.1% (Q3 2014 compared to Q3 2013)
Source: SCB

Interest and credit markets

During the year, declining interest rates for all maturities characterized the interest rate market. The absence of infl ation led to expansive actions by the Riksbank, which cut the repo rate in two stages from 0.75% to 0%. The interest rate curve

was also revised down, and no interest rate rise is indicated until the second half of 2016. The drop in short term market interest rates ran parallel to the repo rate cuts. At the beginning of the year, the three-month STIBOR interest rate was 0.94%, and at the end of the year it was 0.26%.

A weak macro situation, where developments in Europe overshadowed the positive developments in the US, has pushed down Swedish long-term interest rates. At the beginning of the year, the Swedish 10-year swap rate was 2.88%, and by the end of the year it was 1.28%.

Access to bank fi nancing as well as capital market fi nancing is considered favourable, and credit margins are stable.

European real estate market

The transaction volume for the European real estate market totalled approx. EUR 218 billion (154), which is an increase of 42% compared with the previous year. In 2014, Great Britain accounted for the highest transaction volume, corresponding to EUR 77 billion (56), followed by Germany's EUR 40 billion (30).

The Swedish transaction market represented approx. 7% (6%) of the European volume, and this translated into the fourth largest turnover in Europe.

At year end, Castellum was the 22nd largest listed real estate company in the European real estate market in terms of market capitalization.

Swedish real estate market

The Swedish real estate market comprises apartment buildings and industrial properties for a total tax assessment value of around SEK 2,800 billion. This corresponds to a market value of approx. SEK 3,700 billion. However, the real estate portfolio also includes properties that are not quite part of the commercial real estate portfolio. This includes certain customized buildings for industrial operations, as well as apartment buildings owned by housing cooperatives. Castellum is considered one of Sweden's largest real estate owners of commercial properties and owns 1-2% of Sweden's commercial real estate portfolio. In all, Swedish listed real estate companies own about 13% of the commercial real estate portfolio in Sweden.

In addition to the listed companies, the largest real estate owners in Sweden are public corporations as well as both Swedish and foreign institutional investors. Furthermore, Sweden contains a vast number of smaller real estate owners such as real-estate and construction companies, users and individuals.

In 2014, the Swedish real estate market was characterized by strong demand and high turnover. In total, the transaction volume amounted to approximately SEK 160 billion (100), which is in line with the record years 2006–2008. Turnover was particularly high in the fourth quarter when it amounted to nearly SEK 70 billion (35). In addition to continued strong domestic interest, increased foreign interest was also noted: Foreign buyers accounted for 17%

Transaction volume intends transactions >SEKm 100

(13%) of the volume. Commercial properties accounted for about 76% (69%) of the volume. The interest in office properties was stable and still accounts for the largest segment. However, interest in community properties and hotels also increased.

Big-city regions accounted for 62% (58%) of the volume. However, in absolute terms, significantly increased interest was demonstrated for markets outside major cities.

Castellum estimates that the overall increase in value noted earlier in 2014 has been sustained. Price structure has generally remained unchanged from the previous quarter.

Swedish rental market

During the year, the rental market has been solid or positive in all markets and segments, featuring high demand for both new constructions and existing premises. Rental levels generally remained unchanged. However, a slight increase in rental levels was noted for offi ce rents in markets where the demand was higher and the vacancy rate was low. Compared with 2013, the supply of newly constructed offi ce space has remained relatively stable in Gothenburg and Stockholm, but decreased in Malmö. An increase in new constructions in a number of Castellum's markets outside the big cities could also be seen. However, this increase started from a low level and is not considered to result in excess supply.

Property portfolio listed real estate companies

Castellum's markets

Sweden can be divided into a number of local labor markets where each market has different development strength. A local labor market is characterized by that it can function independently concerning work and commuting. Some markets are due to their size and business structure less dependent to changes in the world around than others and have their own inherent power to grow, where the size provides economies of scale. Sweden is currently in an strong urbanization trend where growth is concentrated in the long-term to medium-sized and larger regions, while the number of regions is reduced.

The three major urban regions in Sweden have the greatest development potential which is explained by a larger population, which in turn creates a larger labor market, a diversifi ed industrial structure, research opportunities and greater variety of shopping, entertainment and culture. Successful regions are also characterized by tolerance. The most attractive cities offer opportunities for quality education in universities and colleges. They embrace diversity and openness. Cities grow and jobs are created where talents are developed and thrive.

The map shows the Swedish local labor markets where dark blue indicates the local labor markets who has the highest increase of total wages during 2005-2014 in absolute fi gures and light blue the lowest. The local labor markets where Castellum operates are marked.

Real estate portfolio

Castellum's real estate portfolio

Castellum is present in the nation's major growth regions and approx. 65% of Sweden's 9.7 million inhabitants live within Castellum's regional market areas. Castellum's real estate portfolio is concentrated to a few selected sub-markets where the local subsidiaries have a strong position. The objective is to be one of the three largest realestate owners in each local market. Castellum's geographical submarkets can be characterized as stable, with good prospects for long-term positive development. The real estate portfolio is found in 13 locations in fi ve growth regions: Greater Gothenburg, the Öresund region, Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen and Eastern Götaland. The main part with 76% of the portfolio is located in the three major urban regions.

The commercial portfolio consists of 65% offi ce and retail properties as well as 31% warehouse and industrial properties. The properties are located from inner city sites (except in Greater Stockholm from inner suburbs) to well-situated working-areas with good means of communication and services. The remaining 4% consists of project and undeveloped land. Castellum owns approx. 800,000 sq.m. unutilized building rights.

On December 31, 2014 Castellum's real estate portfolio comprised 583 properties (626) with a total rental value of SEKm 3,527 (3,726) and a total lettable area of 3,329,000 sq.m. (3,623,000). For properties owned at year-end the net operating income over the year was SEKm 2,098 (2,158).

Property value and changes in value

The fair value of the properties at the year-end amounted to SEKm 37,599 (37,752), corresponding to SEK 11,118 per sq.m (10,285). The average valuation yield over time for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects, undeveloped land and building rights, can be calculated to 6.9% (7.2%). Of the total property value 91% represents freehold properties and 9% is site leasehold.

The change in value in Castellum's portfolio during 2014 amounted to SEK 344 (328), corresponding 0.9% (0.9%). During the year a general increase in prices was noted, which resulted in a downward adjustment of the average valuation yield of 0.1% in the internal valuations. This, together with acquisition gains, project gains and individual adjustments on property level have resulted in a change in value totaling SEKm 488. Realized sale of real estate has resulted in a change in value of SEKm –144. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 3,054 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 163. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 3,217, exceeded last valuation of SEKm 3,198 with SEKm 19. The net increase in value, including this years change, over the past 10 years has been 1.1% per year, which is in line with infl ation.

Rental income

Group's rental income amounted to SEKm 3,318 (3,249). For offi ce and retail properties, the average contracted rental level, including charged heating, cooling and property tax, amounted to SEK 1,295 per sq.m. (1,263), whereas for warehouse and industrial properties, it amounted to SEK 791 per sq.m. (765). Rental levels, which are considered to be in line with the market, have in a comparable portfolio increased by 1% compared with previous year, which mainly is an effect from indexation and can be compared with the usual industry index clause (October to October), which was –0.1% in 2014. Castellum's higher indexation is due to the Groups focus on index clauses with minimum upward adjustment in the contract portfolio, which offers protection against defl ation and low infl ation.

Average valuation yield over time

Rental value and economic occupancy rate

The average economic occupancy rate was 88.7% (88.4%). The total rental value for vacant premises on yearly basis amounted to approx. SEKm 417 (467).

The rental income for the period includes a lump sum of SEKm 10 (11) as a result of early termination of leases.

Gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the year was SEKm 304 (366), of which SEKm 55 (96) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 246 (261), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 12 (23) and SEKm 36 (18) were notices of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Hence net leasing for the year was SEKm 58 (105).

The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income thereof is estimated to be between 9-18 months. Net leasing has been different in Castellum's various regions, as shown below.

Property costs

Property costs amounted to SEKm 1,096 (1,105) corresponding to SEK 307 per sq.m. (307). Consumption for heating during the year has been calculated to 81% (96%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

The increased costs for leasing and property administration SEK per sq.m. can partly be explained by the sales completed by the end of the year.

Rental losses, i.e. charged not paid rents with the risk of loss, amounted to SEKm 9 (6), corresponding to 0.3% (0.2%) of rental income.

Active property development requires investments

Castellum operates on a long-term basis and the strategy for growth includes constant improvement and development of the real estate portfolio through new constructions, reconstructions 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 properties with development potential and unutilized building rights.

In order to achieve the overall growth objective of 10%, Castellum needs to invest. The strategy is yearly net investments of at least 5% of the total property value. In 2014, Castellum had a high level of activity in the portfolio and built and acquired properties for SEKm 2,525 and sold for SEKm 3,054.

In the last 10 years, Castellum has invested SEK 21 billion, which means SEK 2 billion on average per year. During 2014 investments totaled SEKm 2,525 (1, 768) of which SEKm 1,378 (1,583) were new constructions, extensions and reconstructions and SEKm 1,147 (185) were acquisitions. Of the total investments SEKm 1,275 refers to Greater Gothenburg, SEKm 393 to Mälardalen, SEKm 361 to Greater Stockholm, SEKm 248 to Eastern Götaland and SEKm 248 to the Öresund Region. Among the acquisitions, we can highlight the investment in the campus area of Halmstad, for SEKm 637.

During the fall of 2014, Castellum had a high level of activity in the portfolio - the entire property portfolio in Värnamo och Växjö was sold (approx. 270,000 sq.m.), as was the Hansa shopping mall in Malmö. The transactions were a strategic decision to refi ne the portfolio and give Castellum better conditions to develop the property portfolio for long term growth. After sales of SEKm 3,054 (687), net investments amounted to SEKm –529 (1,081).

Castellum has ongoing projects with remaining investments of approx. SEKm 750.

Lindholmen in Gothenburg

A former shipbuilding area converted into a vibrant engineering cluster featuring international standards – one way to describe the development of Norra Älvstranden in central Gothenburg.

Hans Stridh

Until the 1970s, Sweden was still one of the world's leading shipbuilding nations, and the major shipyards were to be found in Gothenburg. Today it is an area vibrating with developments and new ideas: New collaborations continuously form between companies, academia and the community and these generate new job opportunities.

"It's interesting to be able to watch close up how an international engineering cluster evolves, and we are happy to be part of building modern workplaces in this environment," says Hans Stridh, Project Development Manager at Eklandia Fastighets AB, a Castellum subsidiary.

In Eklandia's properties on Lindholmen we fi nd companies such as CEVT, a vehicle development company with the same owner as Volvo Cars; Getinge, whose headquarters were moved here from Halland; and Esab, the world's leading supplier of welding equipment. With the ball rolling, the conversion of Lindholmen proceeds at a fast pace. It is the result of a collaboration in which the municipality, academia and the business community work together to support innovation processes.

"Some actions became of crucial importance: the initiative of the municipality in kicking off the Lindholmen Science Park; Ericsson's decision to consolidate business to central Gothenburg, the importance of Volvo as a major player and the courage shown by Chalmers in moving a number of institutions and activities to the other side of the river," Hans continues.

Situated next to Eklandia's headquarters is the Aurora offi ce building, completed in 2013. Furthermore, Semcon's new headquarters were completed at year end 2014/2015 and are situated next to the SVT [Swedish Television] building and the Frihamnen area, where parts of a whole new city district will be completed in time for Gothenburg's 400th anniversary in 2021. In addition, Eklandia bought one of Lindholmen's last buildable sites for commercial properties, located quayside, near the existing portfolio.

Atollen 3 and Algen 1, Jönköping tollen

The biggest makeover of Jönköping since 1612, when Gustaf II Adolf decided to build the new city and develop the eastern city-centre. A fair description of the Atollen project.

Peder Karlén

The project entails the urban development of three new blocks – the single largest investment on the northern side of Munksjön. This area will play an important role in the development of Jönköping's city centre.

"At Castellum we're proud of helping to make the waterfront accessible. I'm sure that the inhabitants of Jönköping appreciate this," says Peder Karlén, Property Manager at Castellum-owned Fastighets AB Corallen in Jönköping – one of the three companies involved in the project.

The Atollen project includes offi ce and retail space, restaurants, rental and co-op apartments, and a parking garage. Atollen is being developed only steps away from the Spira Cultural Centre, whose silhouette can be glimpsed between the new buildings. Atollen will vibrate with life almost 24/7 and become a place where you can live and work as well as shop and eat – or just stroll around.

These new blocks will form a natural link between the retail-dense parts of central Jönköping and the new neighbourhoods around Munksjön. This is our current contribution to the process of developing this expansive municipality – Sweden's tenth largest – where population increases by more than 1000 people annually.

"These days, life in central Jönköping is strongly linked to the area around Munksjön," says Peder Karlén. "Our cornerstone was the ten-year-old urban construction vision. Among other things, this vision led to the construction of a new bridge. One can conclude that Castellum is meeting the requirements for developing what's often referred to today as a "mixed-use city".

Central Uppsala

Reconstruction of the "Copper house" in central Uppsala was completed in June, 2014 – a contribution to the development of the city's new main street, between Vaksala Square and the venerable university library, Carolina Redivia.

Björn Johansson

Major ongoing developments are currently happening in central Uppsala. At one time, Sweden's largest department store - Epa - was housed in a building in the Svalan block. This was built in 1964 with its characteristic façade of green-glazed bricks. Here, Castellum has been engaged in major reconstruction activities through its subsidiary, Aspholmen Fastigheter AB.

  1. Dragarbrunn 20:4, Uppsala - Zinc house .

"In Uppsala, there is a strong demand for offi ces located close to public transportation. Hence, the Svalan block in Dragarbrunn covers an optimal location between the Main Square and the Travel Centre," states Björn Johansson, Property Manager at Aspholmen in Uppsala.

The efforts of Aspholmen in the Svalan block have been divided into stages, one of which was the reconstruction of the Epa department store – and its conversion into the Copper house: the façade was changed and moved three metres out, towards Vaksalagatan. Aspholmen also pulled in the walls of two upper storeys, to make room for new roof terraces that overlook the city. The second stage was the reconstruction of a building at Dragarbrunnsgatan, housing a restaurant. This had previously been a two-storey building. Today, there are fi ve fl oors and the building has become known as the "Zinc house" – alluding to its façade.

Aspholmen's involvement in Dragarbrunn started 2007 and the latest step includes reconstructions totalling 6,000 sq. m. and extensions of the Copper house – that is, the vertical addition of extra space - amounting to 4,000 sq. m. In the autumn of 2014, the reconstruction was awarded the Urban Environment Award by Uppsala Nya Tidning, the daily newspaper.

"We've both rebuilt and extended – or rather added on. Thus we have 14,000 square metres at our disposal today, compared with 10,000 before," says Björn Johansson. "We've built a space-effi cient solution and complied with high technical and environmental specifi cations".

The Svalan block in central Uppsala, a reconstruction and extension has been completed. The "Copper house", shown above, and "Zinc house", to the left, was completed in 2014 all according to the environmental system Miljöbyggnad, level silver.

During 2007, a major reconstruction of the former H-center in central Uppsala was completed. In the reconstruction 4,600 sq.m. offi ce premises were modernized and 1,800 sq.m. new retail premises were created in the Dragarbrunn mall.

During 2009, a reconstruction and extension were completed in"Läkarhuset" in central Uppsala. In the project the detailed plan was changed which made new construction of an additional 685 sq.m. possible.

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 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 approx. 800,000 sq.m. unutilized building rights. For a number of the unutilized building rights there are fi nalized project plans which can be started relatively promptly.

Unutilized building rights are valued at SEKm 1,184 corresponding to approx. SEK 1,500 per sq.m. on average. Of the building rights approx. 330,000 sq.m. corresponding to approx. SEKm 625 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.

Building rights by region and sq.m.

The strong urbanization trend in Sweden is leading to strong population growth in major city regions. This, in combination with a lack of housing, imposes the need for new constructions and, hence, for the conversion of primarily older offi ce and industrial areas into residential space. This process is especially prevalent in Stockholm, where population growth and demand are strong and the housing shortage is substantial. Moreover, the conversion from commercial activities to residential space refl ects an overall urban development towards higher density urban construction and a more highly diversifi ed city mix.

In submarkets where conversions are underway or are expected to occur, a leased commercial property can have a higher value as a residential building-right than as a commercial property. This affects property value. The size of the value impact depends on several factors. The most signifi cant of these is the zoning development plan, i.e. the probability for future development, the permitted buildingrights volume and the development timeframe.

In Castellum submarkets, such as Bromma/Mariehä ll and Johanneshov in Stockholm, there is an ongoing process of plan changes which will lead to gradual conversion of older offi ce and industrial premises into residential space. However, as the city grows, new areas are being added to the list of areas subject to conversion.

Urban development

Urban development is complex and can be carried out in a number of ways within different societal structures. Castellum works actively with real estate development, project development and early stages of urban development. We participate actively in the various phases of zoning plan and development. Each subsidiary is an active player in the growth region where it operates and maintains a close dialogue and collaboration with municipalities and stakeholders.

It is time-consuming to participate in zoning plan processes and project development from "soup to nuts", i.e. all the way from drawing up a detailed plan to the finished building ready for occupancy. When it comes to local planning, Castellum's strengths are local presence, expertise, investment power and long-term commitment.

The figure illustrates an overview of the different phases of the zoning plan process.

Customers

Key success factors include the organization's knowledge and feel for local markets. With six independent subsidiaries, Castellum makes business decisions directly, within local markets. We can thus offer customers shorter decision-making processes, quicker responses and smoother-running business activities. In addition, customers can enjoy the increased security provided by a large national corporation.

High-quality and long-term customer relations are a prerequisite for creating growth at Castellum. The work is regularly followed up in customer questionnaires. The Customer Satisfaction survey carried out during 2014 shows that a high proportion of the respondents reply that they are willing to lease from Castellum again and gladly recommend Castellum as a landlord to others.

During the year a high leasing activity has been carried out, resulting in 728 new contracts with a total annual value of SEKm 304.

Being close to the customer

Castellum's organization, comprised of locally based subsidiaries, provides a close relationship to the customer and a short decision-making process. Castellum employees work close to the market, which means natural access to fresh information about customers' current and future operations. Customers can thereby be offered premises suited to their needs and benefi t from optimal personal service and quick answers.

Castellum, as one of the largest real estate owners on local markets, also contributes to the development of major sites where local subsidiaries operate through co-operation with municipalities and local networks, such as corporate associations.

The subsidiaries regularly distribute information through customer newspapers and websites.

Satisfied customers

It is vital that Castellum meets customer expectations. To evaluate and follow up on our efforts, an external customer survey is carried out annually: the Satisfi ed Customer Index. The survey shows general customer opinion about Castellum as well as how well Castellum performs in the areas of: service, business relationships, indoor premises, property condition, environmental questions and information.

The survey carried out in 2014 – which included offi ces, retail, warehouses and industry – comprised a majority of Castellum's major customers. The survey continues to show consistently high marks for Castellum, with a weighted index of 79 out of 100. This is higher than the industry benchmark of 73. Service willingness shows the highest index and includes parameters such as personal attention, service and availability.

A significant portion of the customers surveyed, 88%, reply that they are willing to lease from Castellum again and gladly recommend Castellum as a landlord to others.

of Castellum's employees work with customer relations and property management matters.

Castellum's customers refl ect Swedish business life

Castellum has balanced risk distribution in the commercial contracts regarding geography, type of premises, size, length of contracts and customer industry. This means that Castellum's commercial contracts refl ect Swedish trade and industry, as well as the Swedish economy, generally.

Castellum has approx. 4,400 commercial contracts and the single largest contract accounts for approx. 2% of Castellum's total rental income.

Leasing activity

Castellum enjoys high leasing activity. During 2014, the Group signed 728 new leases with a total annual value of SEKm 304. Robust leasing activities indicate the importance of taking care of customers and networks. Of the newly signed leases, 69% came from Castellum's own networks, recommendations or existing customer expansions, while 19% originated from websites and the remaining 12% came through agents.

Commercial leases

Commercial leases are generally signed for 3-5 years, with a 9-month notice period, and are paid quarterly in advance. The rental level can change when the lease in question is due for renegotiation.

Leases usually include a base-rent - i.e. the rent agreed upon when signing the contract - and an index clause that

provides for an annual adjustment of the rent: either as a certain percentage of previous year's infl ation or as a minimum upward adjustment of a set percentage.

A lease may also contain an addendum for the tenant's share of the property's total heating, cooling and propertytax costs.

Castellum offers both current as well as new customer green leases which means that both parties collaborate on issues such as energy effi ciency and indoor environment, choice of building material and source-separation of waste. The aim is to reduce environmental impact at the premises. 23 new green leases were signed during 2014.

Sustainable business

Christian and Waleed - employees at Harry Sjögren AB

The only truly sustainable approach is to constantly evolve

It is not the largest companies that survive; it is those which best adapt to surrounding world developments. Castellum is one of the largest players in the real estate business, but survivability is dependent on continuous development.

Sustainability has always been a natural part of our operations, and Castellum has a pronounced focus on environmental efforts. This means that resources, such as energy, are used as wisely and effi ciently as possible. Castellum works with constant environmental improvements, and today, 20% of the real estate portfolio is certifi ed in accordance with the criteria of Miljöbyggnad, Green Building or BREEAM. Castellum currently owns 30% of Sweden's Green Building-certifi ed properties.

Sustainable development is also about our social environment, and Castellum actively participates in the communities wherein we operate. We participate in ongoing collaborations with customers and other stakeholders on issues such as improved public transport and increased cooperation with schools and universities. In addition, the Group supports young people by offering summer jobs and apprenticeships. And not least, we take care of our satisfi ed employees at Castellum.

Ultimately, sustainability is also about economics. Castellum is convinced that our long-term business strategy goes hand in hand with our sense of responsibility towards customers and shareholders. In short: Sustainability pays.

Business incentives

Long-term profi tability is required for sustainable development. Castellum is a long-term property-owner who contributes to urban development, as it benefi ts the areas where our subsidiaries operate. By managing the property portfolio effi ciently the use of resources decreases, which is economically profi table, reduces impact on the environment and provides a well maintained property portfolio. Our sustainability efforts also contribute to strengthening the brand.

Organization and management of sustainability

Our sustainability activities are operated via a management system comprising a common policy, guidelines, overall measurable objectives and detailed action plans. The aim of these activities is to monitor, document, evaluate and improve Castellum's sustainability efforts. The work is conducted locally by each subsidiary, followed-up annually and regularly reported to Executive Group Management. Castellum has assigned a Sustainability Coordinator who works for the Group as a whole. Sustainability initiatives are reported to and discussed by the Board of Directors at least once a year.

Sustainability activities cover all operations and they are regularly monitored by an external party. For example, this occurs through audits in compliance with the Environmental Diploma, based on the environmental management systems ISO 14001 and EMAS. A joint sustainability group designs activities, shares experiences and monitors relevant changes in the outside world.

Castellum's sustainability efforts require committed and skilled employees; further training in sustainability issues is offered on a regular basis. In 2014, a joint sustainability course was initiated for all Group employees.

During this past year, Castellum has updated the Sustainability Policy and the common measurable objectives. This has resulted in a clearer focus on the social aspects of sustainability as well as higher targets concerning the utilization of resources and environmental classifi cation.

Presentation of Castellum's sustainability efforts

Castellum is presenting sustainability activities in accordance with the GRI guidelines for the second time and for 2014 it is based on GRI G4, Core, with the GRI-index on page 144.

Effi cient use of resources

To reduce Castellum's impact on the environment, resources will be used efficiently, and the proportion of renewable energy is to increase. The target is to decrease energy consumption by at least 3% per sq. m. and year – during 2014, the outcome was unchanged compared to 2013. By 2017, energy consumption is to be 50% lower than the sector average and 90% of the energy will come from fossil free energy. During 2014, 41% and 81% were achieved, respectively.

Improve energy efficiency

Castellum continuously strives to reduce energy consumption through operating effi ciency as well as investments in energy-effi cient technology. In 2014, some 100 energy effi ciency projects were undertaken. Castellum follows up and analyzes all energy consumption in a common followup system. These follow-ups allow for measures to be taken in areas with the greatest effi ciency potential. A project is underway for the development of a web portal for webbased property monitoring, where measured values for operations, alarms, elevators and entries can be monitored. Today, 218 properties – representing 1,395 thousand sq.m. – are connected to the portal.

In 2014 the normalized energy-consumption for heating and property electricity has been unchanged compared to previous year. Since 2007, energy-consumption has decreased by 22% per sq.m. in all. The Group's consumption for heating of 77 kWh/sq.m. can be compared with the industry average of 130 kWh/sq.m. according to SCB's (Statistics Sweden).

Increased share of renewable fuels

Out of Castellum's total carbon dioxide emissions, 4% are directly infl uenced by oil and transportation, whereas remaining emissions can only be infl uenced indirectly, as purchased energy for district heating.

To reduce emissions, work is underway to phase out fossil fuels, i.e. replace oil and gas heating systems. Since 2000 approx. 450 thousand sq.m. have been converted to above all district heating. Currently, 6 oil furnaces still remain among the investment properties. Ground heating/cooling is installed in 22 properties, totalling 148 thousand sq.m. Approx. 13% of the customers are responsible for their own heating. Solar panels are installed in nine properties with an area of 1,395 sq.m.

the district-heating plant's fuel mix when it comes to emissions of carbon dioxide. Today, Castellum makes use of 23 district-heating facilities, amounting to 91% of the Group's total carbon dioxide emissions. Castellum conducts ongoing dialogues with the district-heating suppliers who account for the highest emissions per kWh. The purpose of these dialogues is to infl uence the suppliers to reduce emissions. During 2014, the normalized carbon emissions increased by 1% per sq.m. and since 2007 they have decreased by 33% per sq.m. Of Castellum's total energy use, 81% is fossil free.

Since 2001, only electricity labelled "environmentally friendly" has been used by the Castellum Group. As from 2015 Castellum also offers the customer to buy environmentally friendly electricity to their business.

Castellum uses green IT and almost all servers are now virtual. A virtual server means that a physical server has been replaced by software – which reduce energy consumption.

Reduced amount of waste

For a long time, Castellum has actively worked on reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill by providing recycling services. Follow-up is difficult since Castellum hires several sanitation companies, of which only a few offers monitoring of weight. In addition, customer operations differ – as do their needs for waste disposal.

Water consumption

Water consumption is an important issue from a global perspective, but of less importance in Sweden. Castellum uses water from the municipal water system, monitors consumption and takes measures to reduce it.

During 2014, Castellum has adopted a target implies that the water consumption shall be reduced by 5% per sq.m. by 2017 compared to 2013. During 2014 -7% was achieved.

As a user of district heating, Castellum is dependent on

Sustainable property portfolio

It is important for Castellum to be able to offer customers and employees safe and healthy working environments. To achieve this, Castellum works with environmental inventories and recognized environmental classification systems vis-à-vis the properties. The objectives include environmental evaluations for all properties, and environmental classifications for all new constructions and major reconstructions. Both goals were achieved in 2014. The updated objectives adopted in 2014 require classification of office and retail premises as Miljöbyggnad, minimum Silver level. The possibility of reaching the Gold classification should always be investigated.

Known and continuously improved status in the properties

An environmental inventory covering environmental and health risks has been conducted for all properties. Upon their acquisition, properties are analyzed concerning energyconsumption and environmental risk, and all new buildings and major reconstructions are to feature environmental classifi cations. Environmental risk in Castellum's real estate portfolio is considered low.

Environmental certification of properties

Castellum certifi es properties according to the criteria of Green Building, Miljöbyggnad or BREEAM. A Green Building certifi cate, which focuses on reducing energy use, is proof of the Group's long-term efforts to reduce Castellum's energy consumption. Today, Castellum owns 98 of the 331

Castellum's certified properties

Green Building certifi ed buildings in Sweden. Furthermore, Fastighets AB Brostaden and Harry Sjögren AB have been appointed Green Building Corporate Partners by the EU, which means that energy consumption has been reduced by at least 25% for more than 30% of the real estate portfolio.

Eklandia Fastighets AB owns Sweden's fi rst BREEAM certifi ed building, and today the Castellum Group has 14 Miljöbyggnad classifi ed properties.

In all, 20% of the Castellum real estate portfolio is environmentally certifi ed according to Green Building, Miljöbyggnad or BREEAM criteria.

What do the various environmental classifications mean?

Miljöbyggnad Miljöbyggnad is a Swedish system that classifies buildings in

terms of energy consumption, indoor environment and building materials. The system awards gold, silver or bronze levels and is used for both residential and commercial premises.

EU GreenBuilding

EU GreenBuilding focuses on improving the efficiency of energy usage. The requirement is to improve energy efficiency by 25%, or to use 25% less energy compared with new construction requirements in the building regulations [BBR] of the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning.

BREEAM

BREEAM, from Great Britain, is the most commonly used environmental classification system in the world. The system evaluates and rates the overall environmental impact of buildings.

During 2014 Castellum's subsidiary AB Corallen completed Sweden's first truck workshop according to the environmental system Green Building, level Silver.

Sustainable co-operation

It takes cooperation to succeed with sustainability efforts – cooperation with industry colleagues, suppliers and customers. A green lease is a crisp and orderly tool for working with customers to reduce environmental impact. Our objective is to carry out sustainability dialogues with all customers even if a green lease has not been signed.

It's also important to place clear demands on our suppliers, and this takes place both via dialogues and various forms of contracts.

Cooperating and exchanging experiences

Castellum cooperates with various parties to keep up with new technologies and to share knowledge and experiences. Examples are Swedish Energy Agency's "Beställargrupp för lokaler" (BELOK), Sweden Green Building Council, energy companies, local sanitation companies and Chalmers.

The Group's sustainability activities are communicated continuously through websites, customer magazines, customer visits and meetings.

Cooperation with customers

A green lease is an agreement between the property owner and the customer. Both parties collaborate on issues such as energy effi ciency and indoor environment, choice of building material and source-separation of waste. The aim is to reduce environmental impact at the premises.

Castellum offers green leases to both current and new customers. In practice, this means that a clause is added to the customary lease stating concrete measures to be taken by both Castellum and customer to combine their efforts towards a better environment. The Group currently holds 40 green leases – corresponding to 105 thousand sq. m. Of these, 23 green leases were signed in 2014.

Even if the customer has not signed a green lease, information on reduced environmental impact is made available –and encouraged – for all customers.

Our suppliers

There are clear sustainability requirements for new constructions and extensions, as well as for the purchase of goods and services. For the most part, Castellum hires local suppliers – where heating, cooling, water and electricity suppliers account for a large share of the hired suppliers.

For larger purchases and procurements, suppliers and contractors are audited in terms of, for example, quality and work environment.

Although requirements are not identical for all procurements, there are generally requirements for the Environmental Management System, Environmental Manager, sustainable building materials, environmental plan and waste management plan. Requirements for new constructions and major reconstructions follow the regulations of one of the environmental classifi cation systems Miljöbyggnad, EU Green Building, or BREEAM. For each major procurement, there are specifi c administrative regulations as well as work environment requirements.

Work environment

Castellum protects and supports both employees and suppliers, and it is our responsibility to see that no one is hurt either physically or mentally, due to workplace activities. Legal requirements are fi rmly established within the Castellum Group, and working environment efforts are a continuous process with constant potential for improvement.

Social commitment and responsibility

As one of the major real estate owners in Sweden, Castellum has a responsibility to contribute to positive development in the communities wherein the Group operates. The development of these communities has a direct economic impact on Castellum's activities. Hence, in all 13 communities where Castellum owns properties, we exercise responsibility by collaborating with the municipality, educational institutions, customers and other companies.

Our role in society

Long-term profi tability is required for sustainable development. Castellum, as a real estate company, is a long-term player, focusing on both low-risk profi tability and fi nancial strength. The Group's objective to increase income from property management by 10% requires annual investments, primarily in new constructions, extensions and reconstructions for both existing and new customers – but also through acquisitions. By undertaking building projects, the implication is that Castellum is both willing and able to contribute to urban development in the communities and areas where it operates. These actions ultimately create value. Another important factor for achieving the set goal is through effi cient property management from a customer, employee, cost and environmental perspective.

Castellum will be a solid company and counterparty, whose business operations are characterized by low fi nancial and operational risk. For Castellum, low fi nancial risk means that no more than 55% of the property value may be covered by loans. The loan to value ratio at year end was 49%. Low operational risk is obtained via sound risk diversifi cation of the customer base over many sectors and geographical areas, length of contracts and size of contracts. At year end, Castellum had approx. 4,400 leases, of which the single largest lease and tenant accounted for about 2%.

Taxes constitute an important issue for the real estate industry and not only include income tax but also VAT, property taxes, withholding taxes, payroll taxes etc. Castellum's main approach is that accurate tax is to be paid in accordance with current legislation.

A compliance offi cer monitors that laws and regulations are followed and reports directly to Audit and Finance Committee.

Development of our growth regions

There are ongoing collaborations through networking and business associations in all of Castellum's operating areas in order to develop these regions. One example of collaboration is the RAM project in Mölndal where about 10 companies collaborate with local and regional authorities on environmental and public transportation solutions to change commuting habits. In Västerås, several players collaborate on the Electric Car Challenge; and in Uppsala, Aspholmen has become a member of Uppsala Klimatprotokoll.

Youth support

Castellum works proactively through direct involvement by our employees in various social issues to offer young people work experience. 60 young people worked at Castellum 2014 as holiday workers, apprentices, trainees, through mentoring and thesis writing. This corresponds to 20% of Castellum's employees. 12 of the young people were apprentices.

There are ongoing collaborations with universities, colleges and elementary schools at several locations regarding thesis writing and mentoring. For example: close cooperations where the company keeps in touch with particular school classes for longer periods through an initiative called "Handslaget"and involvement in CMB (Centre for Management of the Built Environment) at Chalmers in Gothenburg.

Sponsorship and support

Castellum's sponsorship and support are focused on promoting young people's education and health. For example, Castellum sponsors the Science Festival, the organization Ung Företagsamhet, Löparakademin and local sports clubs. Castellum also supports the Glädjeresan project, which helps bring joy to sick children. Further, Castellum contributes directly to the City Mission, Rescue Mission, Faktum and the Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Organization and employees

Of crucial importance for our success is that we continue to develop cooperation strategies within the Group in order to ensure that specifi c skills are utilized and shared" " Tage Christoffersson

Greater Gothenburg

"Greater Gothenburg continues to develop through infrastructure investments"

Castellum's real estate portfolio in Greater Gothenburg is managed by 81 employees at Fastighets AB Eklandia and Harry Sjögren AB. The real estate portfolio is located in Gothenburg, Mölndal, Borås, Kungsbacka, Alingsås and Halmstad, comprises 1,157 thousand sq. m., valued at SEK 13.4 billion. The portfolio is allocated as follows: 57% for office/retail and 40% for warehouse/industrial.

Greater Gothenburg is centrally located with a well-developed infrastructure: Scandinavia's largest harbour, the airports and the highways. The infrastructure continues to develop via a public investment project called Västsvenska paketet, which includes the extension of public transportation and the building of a new tunnel under the Göta Älv. During 2014, Eklandia completed a new headquarters for Semcon at Lindholmen in Gothenburg. Harry

Sjögren has acquired a large property portfolio in Halmstad Campus area.

Rental market

Greater Gothenburg's rental market generally remained stable. Central Gothenburg has been characterized by limited supply combined with strong demand. This led to a favourable market for both new and existing offi ce premises, with rising rents as well as low relocation levels. During the year, it became evident that Lindholmen strengthened its role as one of Gothenburg's most attractive offi ce locations. For the rest of Gothenburg and for other property types, the rental market remained stable with largely unchanged rents and market vacancies.

Along with Borås, Gothenburg continued to consolidate its position as one of Sweden's leading logistics hubs, and there are plans for extensive construction of new warehouses and logistics facilities in both cities.

In both Borås and Halmstad, the rental market remained stable in 2014, with largely unchanged rents and vacancy rates for both offi ce and warehouse/industrial premises.

As in most parts of Sweden, this region's retail rental market could also be characterized as somewhat cautious. It was also noted that e-commerce had a slightly negative impact on the retail rental market.

Real estate market

Transaction volume 2014: SEK 19 billion (16) Single major transaction: SEKm 950 office property in Gothenburg Yield prime location offi ce: 4.75% (in central Gothenburg)

In 2014, the transaction volume in Greater Gothenburg totalled approx. SEK 19 billion (16), an increase of 17% compared with last year. The turnover represents about 12% of the total transaction volume in Sweden. The largest single transaction was an offi ce building in Gothenburg, acquired for approx. SEKm 950.

Another major transaction was Volvo's sale of a property portfolio of SEK 1.9 billion, most of which was located in Gothenburg. Major transactions in the rest of the region were Castellum's acquisition in Halmstad for approx. SEKm 637 as well as the sale of a warehouse property in Borås for about SEKm 250.

Buyers were primarily funds and Swedish real estate companies; both listed and unlisted.

During the year, a value increase was noted in the region, with some variation due to location, property type and quality. The highest increase in value occurred in central Gothenburg.

The development has resulted in slightly rising vacancy rates, higher relocation level and higher demands on the premises for new leases. However, rental levels remained stable.

Helsingborg.

Despite the restructuring of local business life – resulting in new vacancies – the rental market in Lund coped fairly well and remained stable.

In Helsingborg, there was still a strong demand for office space and both rents and vacancy rates were unchanged. For many years, the construction of new office space was very limited, but 2014 saw the completion of new office space and there are plans to construct additional space.

The retail rental market on the Swedish side was characterized as somewhat cautious – as was the retail rental market in most parts of the country. This was most evident for Malmö and Lund. It was also noted that e-commerce had a slightly negative impact on the retail rental market.

The demand for warehouse and logistics facilities was high in all Swedish cities; rental levels and vacancy rates were considered stable. In Copenhagen, the office rental market was stable, with unchanged rental levels. Falling vacancy rates have been noted in a number of submarkets outside the city centre - primarily for modern and flexible office space. Rents and vacancy rates remained stable for warehouses, whereas the market for older warehouses continued to be weak.

Greater Stockholm

"Stockholm has a high entrepreneurship, a variety of branches and the most headquarters in the nation"

MD Fastighets AB Brostaden

Fastighets AB Brostaden's 56 employees manage Castellum's real estate portfolio in Greater Stockholm. The real estate portfolio is located in Stockholm, Botkyrka, Huddinge, Järfälla, Nacka, Sigtuna, Sollentuna and Upplands Väsby. It comprises 649 thousand sq. m., valued at SEK 7.8 billion, which is allocated as follows: 59% for offi ce/retail and 37% for warehouse/industrial. High population growth and an economy that focuses on knowledge-intensive services characterize Greater Stockholm. The high population growth means that office and industrial areas are being converted into housing. During 2014, infrastructure investments continued with the expansion of the metro and Förbifart Stockholm. During 2014, Brostaden continued to develop the real estate portfolio and focused on leasing.

Rental market

In all, Greater Stockholm had a positive rental market in 2014 with strong demand and stable rental levels as well as unchanged or declining vacancy rates. In central Stockholm, demand was high, and this resulted in a slight increase in rental levels for the top segment while the vacancy rate remained low.

The region is still characterized by a clear focus on modern and cost-effective offi ce space. This has resulted in several companies streamlining their existing properties or relocating from downtown locations to newly constructed offi ce premises outside the city centre. This process will take place gradually over the coming years. Noted effects include: empty offi ce premises downtown are converted into hotels and retail premises; the external locations to which companies relocate are strengthened. However, the recent addition of offi ce space in the region is not expected to affect either rental levels or vacancy rates.

Demand remained stable for warehouse and logistics facilities and no major changes occurred regarding rental levels and vacancy rates. New construction was limited.

The region's retail rental market was characterized as somewhat cautious – as was the retail market in most parts of the country. This was due to weak trading over the past two years and new construction of retail space.

Real estate market

Transaction volume 2014: SEK 71 billion (45) Single major transaction: Approx. SEK 3.8 billion for an offi ce property south of central Stockholm Yield prime location offi ce: 4.25% (in central Stockholm)

In 2014, the transaction volume in Greater Stockholm totalled approx. SEK 71 billion (45), an increase of 57% compared with 2013. The turnover represents about 44% of the total transaction volume in Sweden. Continued high activity outside the city centre has become typical for the real estate market in the region.

The acquisition of an offi ce property near Globen for approx. SEK 3.8 billion and an offi ce property in central Stockholm for about SEK 2.3 billion were among the major individual transactions during the year.

Listed Swedish real estate companies and institutions made up the largest share of buyers.

The high population growth in Stockholm has resulted in ongoing urban conversion development where – in a few submarkets – older commercial properties are gradually being converted into housing.

During the year, an increase in value was recorded in the region, although with some variation due to location, property type and quality. The highest increase in value occurred for offi ce premises.

Mälardalen

"Focus on project development in a stable growth market"

MD Aspholmen Fastigheter AB

Castellum's real estate portfolio in Mälardalen is managed by the 53 employees at Aspholmen Fastigheter AB. The real estate portfolio is located in Örebro, Uppsala and Västerås, and consists of 617 thousand sq. m., valued at SEK 6.5 billion. The portfolio is distributed as follows: 75% for offi ce/retail and 18% for warehouse/industrial. Mälardalen – especially Uppsala and Västerås – is characterized by the strong urbanization trend in Sweden, led by Stockholm. Örebro enjoys a strategic geographic location and a diverse commercial and industrial life.

During 2014, Aspholmen continued to develop environmentally classifi ed buildings. The extension and reconstruction of the Svalan block in Dragarbrunn, Uppsala was completed. In central Örebro, Aspholmen started the new construction of 4,000 sq.m. offi ce premises and acquired interesting land near the travel center for new construction of 15,000 sq.m. offi ce premises.

Rental market

In 2014, the rental market in Örebro continued to display a strong demand for downtown offi ce space, which created opportunities for new construction. The same applied for development in Uppsala, which continues to show solid growth, and where several new constructions were completed during the year. Further new construction is under way. In Västerås, an increased demand for offi ce space in prime locations was noted, and new construction is planned.

As a result of the positive development in the central areas of all three cities, slightly rising rents and declining offi ce vacancy rates were noted. Rental levels remained stable for all submarkets outside the city centres.

The rental market for warehouse/industry for the three cities was characterized by stability, with virtually unchanged rental levels and vacancy rates.

The rental market for retail stores in the region was characterized as somewhat cautious – as was the retail rental market in most parts of the country. It was also noted that e-commerce had a slight negative impact on the retail rental market.

In Västerås, the large supply of retail space over past years has now resulted in more conversions into offi ce and educational facilities.

Real estate market

Transaction volume 2014: SEK 6 billion (6) Single major transaction: SEK 1.8 billion regarding a land area in Uppsala Yield prime location offi ce: 5.9% (in central Uppsala)

In 2014, the transaction volume for Mälardalen totalled approx. SEK 6 billion (6), in line with the previous year. Turnover in the region corresponded to about 3% of Sweden's total transaction volume. The largest single transaction was the acquisition of a parcel of land in Uppsala for approx. SEK 1.8 billion. In Västerås, one of the major transactions was a warehouse property, sold for approx. SEK 1.1 billion. One of the larger transactions in Örebro was the sale of a community property for about SEKm 127. The buyer side consisted mainly of municipalities, Swedish real estate companies and funds.

During the year, an increase in value was recorded in the region, with some variation due to location, property type and quality. The highest increase in value occurred for centrally located offi ce premises.

Eastern Götaland

"Corallen continues to contribute the expansive urban development in Jönköping and Linköping"

MD Fastighets AB Corallen

Castellum's real estate portfolio in Eastern Götaland is managed by Fastighets AB Corallen's 25 employees. The real estate portfolio is located in Jönköping and Linköping, and comprises 260 thousand sq. m. The portfolio is valued at SEK 2.7 billion, and is allocated as follows: 82% for office/retail and 9% for warehouse/industrial. Jönköping is characterized by its strategic location and constitutes one of Sweden's foremost logistics hubs. In Linköping, the business structure is dominated by companies focusing on technology. The University, the local hospitals and the airline industry all have a great impact on the city. Extensive urban development projects are under way, both in Jönköping and Linköping. During 2014, Corallen has continued to develop the Atollen area in central Jönköping where 5,960 sq.m. was completed and new construction of 4,500 sq.m. continues. At the end of 2014 the property portfolio in Värnamo and Växjö were sold. Claes Junefeldt

Rental market

Both Jönköping and Linköping are cities characterized by strong expansion and optimism. In Jönköping, there are several ongoing major downtown projects comprising both residential and commercial space. In Linköping, plans for urban development are linked to new infrastructure as well as arrangements for a housing fair in 2017.

In Jönköping, demand for office space continued to be strong, and this resulted in slightly increased rental levels, as well as an increased supply of new office space. However, vacancy rates remained unchanged. Despite the large supply, the rental market for warehouses/industry was deemed stable, with virtually unchanged rental levels and vacancy rates.

Linköping's rental market was positive for both office and warehouse facilities. In 2014, new construction of offices led to greater supply and rising rental levels were noted. The rental market for warehouses/industry remained stable and both rental levels and vacancy rates remained unchanged.

The rental market for retail stores in the region was characterized as somewhat cautious – as for the retail rental market in most parts of the country. It was also noted that e-commerce had a slightly negative impact on the retail rental market.

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. Castellum's assets had at year-end a value of SEK 38 billion. Castellum shall have a low fi nancial risk and the key ratios are loan to avlue and interest coverage ratio. Year-end loan to value ratio was 49% and interest coverage ratio 318%.

Financial policy

Castellum's fi nancial operation are conducted in accordance with the fi nancial policy adopted by the Board of Directors. Castellum shall have a low fi nancial risk with a loan to value ratio not exceeding 55% in the long run and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. The fi nancial operations in Castellum shall be run in such a way that the need for longand short-term funding and liquidity is ensured. In addition, net interest expenses at each time shall be minimized within the given risk authorization. The fi nancial policy outlines the overall authorization and how fi nancial risk should be reported and monitored. The fi nancial risks are monitored and reported quarterly to the Board. The Board has an annual review of the fi nancial policy.

Loan to value ratio and capital tied up

Properties are long-term assets and requires long-term funding with distribution between shareholders' equity and interest-bearing debt. The loan-to-value ratio is the fi nancial key ratio that describes the proportion of the properties value that is covered by loans. Castellum has lower loanto-value ratio and higher interest coverage ratios than the industry average.

Castellum's assets had on December 31, 2014, a value of SEKm 38,088 (38,113) and these are fi nanced by SEKm 13,649 (13,127) in shareholders' equity and SEKm 24,439 (24,986) in liabilities - of which SEKm 18,446 (19,481) are interest-bearing liabilities. Year-end loan-to-value ratio was 49% (52%).

Demand for long-term funding makes Castellum look for long-term credit agreements in order to minimize the refi nancing risk. Existing agreements are regularly renegotiated and new agreements are added when needed. During the year MTN of SEKm 1,500 were issued and SEKm 500 repurchased. A new credit agreement of SEKm 500 was added and agreements for a total of SEKm 11,500 have been renegotiated. Along with the year's completed sales, Castellum stands fi nancially strong. At year end, Castellum had unutilized binding long-term credit agreements with banks totalling SEKm 3,958 (2,448).

The average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was 3.3 years (3.4).

Interest rate risk and interest coverage ratio

Interest expenses are the single largest cost item and have a major impact on the growth of income from property management. The interest rate is affected both by changes in market interest rates and the demanded interest margin. The short-term market interest rate is controlled by the Swedish Riksbank, whereas the long-term market interest rate is affected by other factors such as expectations of future economic growth and infl ation. The credit margin is controlled by supply and demand for credits, as well as by regulations under which the banks operate. Both interest and credit markets can change rapidly and are outside Castellum's control.

Increased market interest rates are generally a result of economic growth and rising infl ation and are, in turn, assumed to increase demand for commercial premises and hence increased rents and/or reduced vacancies. Falling interest rates are assumed to have the opposite causes and effects. Rising or falling interest expenses will thus, over time, coincide with rising or falling rental income. Changes in credit margins may occur regardless of economic situation and have, of late, mainly been affected by changes in credit and capital market regulations.

Changes in market interest rates affect net fi nancial items. How quickly, and by how much, largely depends on the chosen fi xed interest term and the binding period of credit margins. To ensure a low and stable fi nancial net in terms of cash fl ow, Castellum has chosen to restrict the proportion of fi xed maturity within 6 months to a maximum of 50% of net debt and to keep the average fi xed interest term

Listed real estate companies Credit agreement maturity structure

between 1-4.5 years. For the same reason Castellum has chosen to sign mainly long-term credit agreements with agreed margins with banks. However changes in both of these markets will over time always affect net fi nancial items.

The interest coverage ratio is the fi nancial key ratio that describes a company's risk level and resistance regarding changes in net fi nancial items. Castellum's strategy is an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. For 2014, the interest coverage ratio was 318% (292%). The average fi xed interest term at December 31, 2014, was 2.8 years (2.7). Margins and fees on long-term credit agreements had an average duration of 2.7 years (2.4).

Organization

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

Net financial item

Net fi nancial items were SEKm –664 (–702) with an average interest rate level of 3.3% (3.7%). The average effective interest rate as of December 31, 2014, was 3.4% (3.5%). Castellum's interest costs consist of the market interest rate at the date of the loan issue plus the creditor's margin.

Interest bearing liabilities

Castellum's interest bearing debt is mainly made up of shortterm loans under long-term credit agreements. Short-term

loans allow for fl exibility regarding the choice of interest rate base and fi xed interest rate term, while they at the same time facilitate amortization payments and repayments without marginal breaking costs or other compensations. The possibility to increase or decrease the amount of outstanding loans in long-term credit agreements also means that the amount of interest-bearing loans can be minimized at all times. The credit agreements are bilateral credit agreements with Nordic banks. As a complement to the credit agreements, there is a MTN program and a commercial paper program. Outstanding commercial papers are fully covered by unutilized long-term credit agreements. After deduction of liquid assets of SEKm 47 (70), net interest bearing liabilities were SEKm 18,399 (19,411), of which SEKm 4,200 (3,200) were MTN and SEKm 1,280 (1,014) outstanding commercial papers. At the end of the year Castellum's had binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 26,065 (24,300) of which SEKm 22,357 (21,859) were long-term binding and SEKm 3,708 (2,441) short-term binding.

Secured credit facilities 31-12-2014

Interest rate mauturity structure

Secured interest-bearing liabilities

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

Of net interest bearing liabilities SEKm 18,399 (19,411), SEKm 12,919 (15,197) were secured by the company's properties and SEKm 5,480 (4,214) unsecured. The proportion of used secured fi nancing was thus 34% of the property value. The committed fi nancial covenants state a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%. Castellum shall also provide the lenders with fi nancial information such as annual reports, interim reports and property valuations. In some cases, the lender has the right to renegotiate the credit agreements due to a material change in business or discontinued stock exchange listing.

Currency

Castellum owns properties in Denmark with a value of SEKm 530 (466), which means that the Group is exposed to currency risk. The currency risk is primarily related to translation of income statement and balance sheet in foreign exchange into Swedish currency. In accordance with the fi nancial policy, between 60-100% of investments in foreign subsidiaries are to be fi nanced in local currency. At year-end 72% (79%) of the of the Danish assets were hedged.

Derivatives

Derivatives are a cost effective and fl exible way to manage fi nancial risks such as interest rate risks and currency risks. Castellum uses derivatives to manage both risks. As of December 31, 2014, the market value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio were –1,344 (–687) and the currency derivatives portfolio SEKm –13 (4). The market value in the balance sheet change when market interest rates change, the portfolio's duration is shortened and the exchange rates change. At maturity, the market value of the derivative is dissolved with no effect over time on shareholder's equity.

Interest rate derivatives

According to the accounting standard IAS 39, derivatives are subject to market valuation. For interest-rate derivatives, this means that a surplus or sub value occurs if the stipulated interest rate varies from the current market rate. Castellum accounts for this change in value in the income statement.

By extending the fi xed interest term the interest rate risk in terms of cash fl ow is limited, while the risk in the accounting based changes in value is increased. Note that loans with long term fi xed interest rates which are less fl exible, but from a risk and interest rate perspective comparable to extensions using interest rate derivatives, are not subject to market valuation according to the current accounting standards.

Currency derivatives

Funding in Danish currency can be achieved by borrowing in Danish kroner or by using currency derivatives. The exposure is the same but according to the accounting standard IAS 39 derivatives are subject to market valuation, which means that there is a surplus or sub value if the stipulated currency rate varies from the current exchange rate. Castellum applies hedge accounting according to IAS 39, implying that the effective portion of value changes is accounted for in other total net income.

Counterparty risk

Counterparty risk refers to the risk that, at any moment, Castellum's counterparties do not fulfi ll their contractual obligations.

Castellum's limits it's counterparty risk by requiring high credit ratings of the counterparties. Castellum counterparties are major Nordic banks.

Castellum's market capitalization, i.e. the value of all outstanding shares in Castellum, amounted to SEK 20.0 billion (16.4) as at December 31, 2014, corresponding to about 10% of the total market capitalization of Swedish real estate companies operating solely in this sector totalling over SEK 195 billion and 0.4% of the total market capitalization of listed Swedish companies of approx SEK 5,200 billion.

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.

During 2014 a total of 133 million (106) shares were traded, equivalent to an average of 532,000 shares (425,000) per day, corresponding on an annual basis to a turnover rate of 81% (65%). The share turnover is based on statistics from NASDAQ, Chi-X, Burgundy, Turquoise and BATS Europe.

Proposed dividend

The Board intends to propose the annual general meeting to decide on a dividend of SEK 4.60 per share, an increase of 8% compared with previous year. The dividend ratio is 52% of income from property management before tax.

If the annual general meeting decides to accept the Board's dividend proposal and Tuesday March 23, 2015 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 19, 2015. Payment of the dividend is expected to take place on Thursday March 26, 2015.

The dividend falls within Castellum's objective of distributing at least 50% of income from property management, 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 income.

Net asset value

Net asset value is the total equity which the company manages for its owners. Based on this equity Castellum want to a create stable return and growth at a low level of risk. 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 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.

Long term net asset value (EPRA NAV) can be calculated to SEK 114 per share (107). The share price at the end of the year was thus 107% (94%) of the long term net asset value.

* Estimated real deferred tax liability net has been calculated to 5% based on a discount rate of 3%. Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 2 years with a nominal tax of 22%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 21%, and that the properties are realized in 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 22% and that 67% are sold indirect through company disposals where the buyers tax discount is 6%, which gives a present value of deferred tax liability of 6%.

Earnings

Income from property management per share adjusted for nominal tax attributable to income from property management (EPRA EPS) amounted to 8.26 (8.04). This results in a share price yield of 6.8% (8.0%) corresponding to a multiple of 15 (12). Income from property management should be adjusted by a long-term increase in the property value, where 1% change in value corresponds to SEK 2.29 per share.

Earings per share amounted in 2014 to SEK 7.38 (10.41), which based on the share price provides a return on 6.1% (10.4%), corresponding to a multiple of 17 (10).

Dividend yield

Dividend yield is the company's dividend divided by the current share price. It represents the yield shareholders receive in cash every year following the AGM decision. The key ratio thus expresses the relationship between two different "spheres": Castellum's performance in the form of dividends and the stock market's pricing of the company. The valuation thus refl ects the market's view of the dividend yield required to achieve a total yield that matches the market's yield on the Castellum share.

The proposed dividend of SEK 4.60 (4.25) corresponds to a yield of 3.8% (4.2%) based on the share price at the end of the year.

Total yield

Total yield refl ects the development of the share price plus dividend paid during the period.

The Castellum share price as at 31 December, 2014 was SEK 122.10 (100.10), corresponding to a market capitalization of SEK 20.0 billion (16.4). During 2014, the total yield of the share, including dividend of SEK 4.25, was 27% (13%).

Net asset yield including long-term change in value

In companies managing real assets, such as real estate, the income from property management only refl ects part – albeit a large part – of the overall result. The defi nition of a real asset is that they value are protected. This means that over time – and with proper maintenance – the real asset increases in value to compensate for infl ation.

The net asset value – i.e., the denominator of the yield ratio income/capital – is adjusted annually in accordance with IFRS regulations for changes in value. In order to provide an accurate yield fi gure, the numerator – i.e., income – must be similarly adjusted. Therefore, the recorded net income has to be supplemented with a component of value changes as well as with effective tax to provide an accurate view of income and yield.

One problem is that changes in value can vary greatly between years and quarters, thus leading to volatile results. However, by being a long-term player with stable cash fl ow and a balanced real estate portfolio, Castellum is able to make use of long-term value changes to adjust the numerator of the equation. In the table below, Castellum's average change in property value of 1.1% over the past 10 years has been used.

Valuation

The investor's required yield for a given share forms a basis for valuation in the long term. The required yield varies from share to share, as well as over time. This is partly due to the risk the investor perceives for a particular company; a risk that he wants to be compensated for. The higher the risk, the higher the required yield. An acceptable share price therefore derives from the investor's – or rather the investor collective's – assessment of the future total yield of the share (the sum of yields and changes in value) and the level of risk.

In the short run, it is largely supply and demand for shares that affects share-price movements and sets current share prices. Factors affecting price in the short term – apart from investor assessments of the long-term yield of the share – include industry outlook, macro assessments, geopolitical events, allocation aspects, and potential yield on alternative investments and regulations.

However, looking over the long term, it is the company's actual performance in terms of total yield and growth that determines crucial for share-price development.

As shown in the table on the left, Castellum has achieved a total average yield of 11% per year, over the past 10 years, of which yield accounts for about 4% and share price development around 7%. All to a moderate risk level compared to the Swedish real estate market. The average dividend growth for the same period amounted to 7% per year.

Swedish corporate tax review

In June, the Swedish Committee on Corporate Taxation presented its fi nal report "Neutral corporate tax – for increased effi ciency and stability". Among other things, the proposal includes limited deductibility of fi nancial expenses. For Castellum, everything else equal, and notwithstanding the sale of real estate, value changes of derivatives and the use of tax-loss carry forwards, this limitation will result in an annual tax increase of approx. SEKm 100, corresponding to approx. 7% of the income from property management. If the debated proposal becomes reality, everything else equal, it will result in lower cash-fl ow for the Group, which will lead to lower investment volume or decreased dividend to the shareholders - or a combination of both. Thus, the dividend can decrease by 0 - 60 öre per share. The committee proposes effect as of January 1, 2016.

Shareholders

At the end of the period the company had about 16,270 shareholders. The amount of shares registered abroad at the year-end was 52%. Shareholders registered abroad cannot be broken down in terms of directly held and nominee registered shares except for two foreign shareholders who have fl agged for holding over 5%, Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP and Blackrock. In addition, SEB Investment Management AB has fl agged for holding over 5%. Blackrock has declared that they have decreased their holdings to under 5% after the year-end. Castellum has no direct registered shareholders with holdings exceeding 10%.

Investor relations

Investor relations are primaily based on quarterly fi nancial reports, press releases on signifi cant commercial events and presentations of Castellum. Presentations take place in connection with quartely fi nancial reports and visits from investors and analyst and investor meetings both in Sweden and abroad. The large share of foreign shareholders means that there are extensive contacts with foreign investors. Additional market and fi nancial information is provided on the company's webpage www.castellum.se.

Some twenty Swedish and foreign stock market analysts track the development of both Castellum and the Swedish real estate sector.

Repurchase of own share

Castellum has repurchased 8,006,708 of the company's shares for a total of SEKm 194, equivalent to 4.7% of the total registered number of shares. The number of outstanding shares, i.e. the number of registered shares less the number of repurchased shares, totals 164,000,000. As repurchasing is a good method of adjusting the capital structure to the capital requirements from time to time, the Board's will propose the AGM to decide on extending the mandate to repurchase shares until the next AGM. This mandate provides the possibility to repurchase or transfer shares.

Yield earnings per share

Castellum's share is since 1997 listed on NASDAQ Stockholm Large Cap under the name CAST.

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 such standards are key ratios EPRA EPS (Earnings Per Share), EPRA NAV (Net Asset Value), EPRA NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value) and EPRA vacancy.

On December 31st, 2014 Castellum's investment properties were assessed a fair value of SEKm 37,599, corresponding to SEK 11,118 per sq.m. The average valuation yield for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects, undeveloped land and building rights can be calculated to 6.9%.

The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner using internal valuation based on a 10-year cash fl ow model with individual assessments for each property in order to refl ect both future earnings capacity and required market yield. In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 154 properties - representing 57% of the value of the portfolio - have been valued externally.

Internal valuation

Castellum records the investment properties at fair value and has made an internal valuation of all properties as of December 31, 2014. The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner, and was based on a 10-year cash fl ow model, which is described in principle below. The internal valuation was based on an individual assessment for each property and refl ects both its future earnings capacity and its required market yield. In the valuation of a property's future earnings capacity, consideration has been taken of potential changes in rental levels, occupancy rates and property costs - as well as an assumed infl ation level of 1.5%. Projects in progress have been valued using the same principle, but with deductions for remaining investments. Building rights have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre, on average approx. SEK 1,500 per sq.m. (1,100). For further information about the assumptions in cash-fl ow and required yield see note 11.

Even if relevant fi gures are used the example should thus not be regarded as a forecast of the company's expected earnings.

Assumptions in the example:

  • The economic occupancy rate is assumed to increase in order to reach a long-term level of 96% in the year 2020.
  • Net operating income for 2014 is based on actual 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 2,093.
  • The required yield, discount factor, is calculated according to the following assumptions:
Required yield Percentage
of capital
Weighted
required yield
Equity 8.0% - 18.2% 40% 3.2% - 7.3%
Borrowed capital 5.5% 60% 3.3%

Uncertainty range

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 in a normal market, should therefore be seen as an indication of the uncertainty that exists in assumptions and calculations. In a market with lower liquidity, the range may be wider. For Castellum, an uncertainty range of +/– 5% means a range in value of the property portfolio of SEKm 35,719 - 39,479, corresponding to +/– SEKm 1,880.

Change in value

The change in value in Castellum's portfolio during 2014 amounted to SEKm 344 (328) corresponding to 0.9% (0.9%). The general increase in prices that was noted during the fi rst half year remains, and the downward adjustment of the average valuation yield of 0.1% in the internal valuations remains fi rm. This, together with acquisition gains, project gains and individual adjustments on property level have resulted in a change in value totaling SEKm 488. Realized sale of real estate have resulted in a change in value of SEKm –144. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 3,054 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 163. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 3,217, exceeded last valuation of SEKm 3,198 by SEKm 19. The net increase in value, including this years change, over the past 10 years has been 1.1% per year, which is well in line with infl ation.

Total yield

Concerning the total yield of the properties - i.e., the sum of yields and changes in value - it can be noted that Castellum's performance depends on when measurements were started. On average, Castellum has had a better total yield on warehouse/industrial compared to offi ce/retail - regardless of when the measurement period was started. The annual average total yield for the past 10 years has been 6.8% (6.3% yield + 0.5% change in value), thereby surpassing offi ce/retail which has had 5.9% (5.4% yield + 0.5% change in value). Calculations do not include project gains or acquisitions from the year the acquisition was completed.

External valuation

In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 154 properties - representing 57% of the value of the portfolio - have been valued externally by Forum Fastighetsekonomi AB. The properties were selected on the basis of the largest properties in terms of value, but they also refl ect the composition of the portfolio as a whole in terms of category and geographical location. Forum's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 21,109, within an uncertainty range of +/- 5-10% on property level, depending on each property's category and location. Castellum's valuation of the same properties totalled SEKm 21,383, i. e., a net deviation of SEKm –274, corresponding to –1%. The gross deviation was SEKm +620 and SEKm –894 respectively, with an average deviation of 7%.

In addition, NAI Svefa made a desk-top valuation of 41 properties corresponding in value to 25% of the portfolio. NAI Svefa's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 9,105. Castellum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 9,348, i.e. a net deviation of SEKm –243 corresponding to –3%. Forum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 9,216, i.e. a net deviation of SEKm –132 corresponding to –1% compared to Castellum's valuation.

It can be noted that Castellum's deviation from the two external valuers accommodated well within the uncertainty range of +/–5-10%.

Castellum will provide fi nancial reporting which is permeated with openness and transparency. throughout. This also applies to the handling and accounting of taxes, an issue of such importance to the real estate industry. The Group's main approach is that correct tax will be paid in compliance with prevailing regulations.

Swedish corporate tax rate is 22% and is based on the company's taxable income. Taxable income is based on income before tax adjusted for items according to the current tax legislation: tax depreciations, tax deductible reconstructions, tax effects resulting from sales of properties, changes in value and fi nally, utilization of tax loss carryforwards.

Income tax

Castellum's reported income from property management for 2014 amounted to SEKm 1,450 (1,346), while taxable income from property management amounted to SEKm 434 (127). In the absence of tax loss carry forwards, a paid tax of SEKm 96 (28) would occur, attributable to the income from property management, equivalent to 7% effective tax paid.

Tax depreciations

Investments in real estate can be allocated to different parts where the Swedish Tax Authority specifi es percentages for tax depreciations: Buildings (2-5% depending on type of property), land improvements 5% and inventories 20% or 30%. Land is not depreciated.

Tax deductible reconstructions

Costs for repairs and maintenance of a building may be deducted immediately. The "extended repair concept" allows for direct deduction for certain types of value-adding improvements, even if they are capitalized in the accounts.

Property sales

Properties can be sold directly or indirectly through companies, which have different tax consequences.

Profi t on properties that fi scally represent fi xed assets is taxable, while a loss is put in a "fold" and can only be netted against profi ts within the Group from direct sales of properties that represents fi xed assets. Profi t on sales of shares which from a taxation point of view are considered fi xed assets is not taxable, while a loss is not tax deductible.

For properties or shares which fi scally represent current assets a profi t is always taxable while a loss is tax deductible.

Changes in value on properties and derivatives

Swedish accounting laws do not allow reporting of properties at fair value in a legal entity, meaning that changes in value are reported only in the consolidated accounts and hence do not affect taxation. Some fi nancial instruments

Castellum has no current tax disputes.

Deferred tax on the balance sheet

Castellum has two entries which make up the basis for deferred tax - properties and tax loss carry forwards. All tax loss carry forwards are reported since expected future taxable income may be used to net the tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax deriving from properties occurs mainly due to changes in value, tax deductions such as depreciation and deduction of certain reconstructions, which are capitalized in the account.

Net Deferred Tax Liability 31-12-2014

Nominal
SEKm Basis tax liability Real tax liability
Tax loss carry forwards 1,193 262 21% 251
Properties – 18,602 – 4,092 6% – 1,080
Total – 17,409 – 3,830 5% – 829
Properties, asset acq. 991 218
In the balance sheet – 16,418 – 3,612

Deferred tax is in principle both interest free and amortization free and can therefore be considered as shareholder equity. The real deferred tax is lower than nominal partly due to the possibility to sell properties in a tax-effi cient way, partly due to the time factor which means that the tax will be discounted.

Estimated real deferred tax liability net has been calculated to 5% based on a discount rate of 3%. Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 2 years with a nominal tax of 22%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 21%, and that the properties are realized in over 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 22% and that 67% are sold indirectly through company disposals where the buyers tax discount is 6%. This gives a present value of deferred tax liability of 6%.

The Swedish Committe on Corporate Taxation

In June, the Swedish Committee on Corporate Taxation published its main proposal "Neutral corporate tax - for increased effi ciency and stability". One of the key issues is the limited deductibility of fi nancial expenses. For Castellum, this limitation means, all other equal, and notwithstanding the sale of real estate, value changes of derivatives and the use of tax-loss carry forwards, higher paid taxes of about SEKm 100 annually. The fi nal report has been on referral and has met with strong resistance so it is currently unclear whether it will be implemented. If the proposal, despite disapproval from the Swedish business sector, is implemented, the committee proposes effect as of January 1, 2016.

The new government submitted its budget for 2015 to the parliament in October. The budget announced a number of investigations - including "bundling" of properties for sale because the government thinks it is used as a tool for tax planning. The investigation will also review other actions made in order to eliminate stamp duty in sales situations.

As a listed real estate company, Castellum's task is to generate long-term shareholder value by focusing on cash-fl ow growth, at a low fi nancial risk. The overall objective is to increase income from property management by 10% annually.

Owning and managing properties means that operations are exposed to a variety of risks, both internal and external – or to uncertainties that may affect the Group's ability to achieve the objective. Castellum therefore works with a regular and structured process to identify and actively monitor the full range of fi nancial and non-fi nancial risks that the Group encounters or has to take on. The Group's risk management involves a structured process of decision making with the aim of establishing a balance between the desire to limit uncertainty or risk and the task of generating growth and shareholder value.

Risks, risk management and classification of risk

Castellum defi nes risk as an uncertainty factor that may affect the ability to achieve company goals. Risk management involves a structured decision-making process with the aim of balancing the desire to limit uncertainty with achieving the objective. In order to assess the effect of identifi ed risks an internal risk rating is carried out where each risk is assessed, both from the perspective of impact and probability. This process determines whether the risk should be monitored, corrected or handled through the standard review and management.

To facilitate risk management, Castellum has chosen to classify risks into the following categories:

  • External environment risks due to the infl uence of external factors and events
  • The real estate portfolio risks associated with the ownership of Castellum's real estate portfolio.
  • Employees risks associated with recruiting, training and retaining the right employees
  • Management risks associated with everyday management of Castellum's real estate holdings
  • Financing Castellum's fi nancing risks

External environment

External environment risks refer to risks due to the influence of external factors, mainly outside Castellum's control and to which Castellum has to relate. These risks can be divided into macroeconomic risks, crises and changes in legislation.

Macroeconomic risks

Risk Exposure Risk management
Macroeconomic risks are risks associated with a
general reduction in demand in the economy, low
inflation, deflation or situations which entail general
difficulties in obtaining financing – or funding at higher
credit margins.
A weak economy affects the demand for premises
negatively, leading to increased vacancies, falling
market rents and loss of indexation for existing leases.
In addition, the risk of payment problems, or even
bankruptcies, among tenants increases, resulting in
immediate negative effects on cash flow. Limited
access to funding reduces Castellum's possibility to
operate. Ultimately, reduced demand in the economy
leads to declining property values.
• Strong balance sheet and low loan to value ratio
• Well-composed contract portfolio with a wide spread
regarding notice of termination, type of business,
type of facility, contract size and geographical location
• Deflation protection or a minimum upward
adjustment of leases
• Frequent renegotiations/new credit agreements
• Monitor world events
• Natural macroeconomic hedging mechanism for
higher/lower interest costs and rental income, but
with some time delay
Crises
Risk Exposure Risk management
Crises not only include events such as terrorist attacks,
cyber attacks, extreme weather and environmental
disasters, but also include key figures disappearing or
being exposed to threats or blackmail.
Changes in legislation
The risk is generally low, but Castellum could become
indirectly affected by external factors and events.
• Continuity plan IT
• Technical IT security such as firewalls and encryption
• Order of succession regarding senior executives
• Full value insurance properties
• Crisis plan
Risk Exposure Risk management
Changes in legislation such as a new PBL (Planning
and Building Act), new regulatory framework for banks
and a changed tax system.
Changes in legislation may affect future investment
opportunities, or lead to increased expenses, resulting
in reduced future returns. New banking legislation may
affect access to financing, cost of borrowed capital
– and might trigger credit clauses that would lead to
higher financing costs. Changes in tax rates and tax
legislation – such as the Corporate Tax Committee's
proposals regarding interest deduction limitations,
new regulations concerning tax depreciation and the
prohibition for "bundling" of properties – may affect
Castellum's future tax expenses.
• Actively participate in public debate
• Prepare Castellum for new legislation
• Frequent renegotiation of credit agreements
• Broaden the funding base through multiple sources
of funding and financiers

Real estate portfolio

Real estate portfolio risks are risks associated with the ownership of Castellum's real estate portfolio, which in turn can be divided into risks concerning the composition of the portfolio, investments, changes in property value and liability risks.

Composition of the real estate portfolio
Risk Exposure Risk management
The composition of the portfolio can be affected at two
levels: Unfavourable geographical distribution, which
means that Castellum owns properties in the wrong
submarket, community or location with respect to i.e.
future growth and current urbanization trend;
Owning obsolete properties – i.e. a property portfolio
that is not future-proof with regard to customer pre
ferences, technical requirements, micro-location or to
flexibility in usage and condition of contracts.
Owning the wrong properties may lead to restrictions
in future cash-flow and value growth due to increased
vacancies, lower rental potential and major investment
commitments. In addition, it could also lead to in
creased demand on Castellum to help develop an area
with regard to, for example, infrastructure. Yet another
risk is to be stuck with a real estate portfolio in the
wrong region, a so called exit risk. All of these factors
imply the risk of a permanent decrease in value.
• Macro analysis – regular reviews of submarkets
regarding economic growth, rental market, coopera-
tive climate, infrastructure investments, etc.
• Annual review of the real estate portfolio regarding
geographic exposure and property type
• The Board's adoption of an annual strategy document
• Work closely with customers to identify and under-
stand current and future needs
• Actively participate in developing submarkets/regions
through local involvement
• Continuous upgrading of existing portfolio with
regard to technology and environmental issues
• Sell properties considered without future potential
Investments
Risk Exposure Risk management
Erroneous investment strategy or, alternatively: inability
to execute the selected investment strategy or to find
profitable investment projects.
Low-yield investments and/or lack of growth potential
mean that the 10% income-growth objective for
property management will not be achieved.
Further, yearly net investments constitute a prerequisite
for reaching the growth target, which in a highly com
petitive real estate market means increased risk that
the investment strategy can't be carried out.
• Operate locally and be an active participant in the market
• Annual review and evaluation of the adopted investment
strategy
• Link investment decisions to the adopted investment
strategy to ensure the optimal decision is made
• Several parallel investment discussions ongoing
simultaneously
• Post-investment follow-ups after three years
Investments can be made either in the form of new
constructions, extensions and reconstructions, or by
acquisitions. Acquisitions of individual properties can be
carried out directly as property acquisition, or indirectly
in corporate form. Acquisitions may also be made on a
larger scale, either in the form of portfolios for regions
or category of properties, or in the form of strategic
acquisitions of corporations, i.e. the purchase of an
existing organization.
The risks associated with new constructions, extensions
and reconstructions concern both technology issues
in the form of construction risks – such as selecting
suppliers, contract type, technical execution, etc. – and
market issues in the form of rental and vacancy risks
as well as miscalculations regarding potential rental
level and customer requirements. In addition, there
are risks in the form of negative environmental impact.
Acquisitions via corporations also involve corporate
specific risks pertaining to the acquired companies, for
example, taxes, litigations and environmental issues.
Furthermore, the task of employee integration often
accompanies the transfer of employees.
• Risk-based model to determine the proportion of
projects that may commence without ready customers
• A structured decision-making process which analyzes
market conditions and risks
• Contract form that limits risk
• Leasing agreements designed to limit the negative
impact of unforeseen construction delays, additional
requirements, etc. when leasing before construction starts
• Quality assurance and evaluation of implemented projects
• Quality assured due diligence process concerning
legal, financial and tax issues
• Introduction program for new employees

Changes in property value

Risk Exposure Risk management
Value changes can occur due to macroeconomic
factors (see section above, on macroeconomic risks),
microeconomic factors (usually the wrong submarket,
district or location), or property-specific causes. In
addition, there is also the risk of individual properties
being incorrectly assessed. Whatever the reason, value
changes affect both income statement and Castellum's
financial position including loan to value ratio.
Liability risks
Large negative value changes can ultimately lead to
the breaking of agreed terms and terminating credit
agreements, thus resulting in higher borrowing costs,
or - worst-case scenario - in utilized credits falling due
for payment.
• Strong balance sheet
• A large number of properties, a geographically diver-
sified real estate portfolio and great variation in lease
agreements – concerted actions which result in
lower volatility of the real estate portfolio value
• Continuous analysis of the transaction market and
quarterly reviews of the valuation of the property
portfolio help detect early warning signs
• Internal quality assurance of internal valuations and
annual external valuations of at least 50% of the
portfolio reduce the risk for systematic valuation errors
Risk Exposure Risk management
All ownerships entail responsibility. For Castellum's part,
the properties may be destroyed by fire, water, theft or
other damage. Moreover, Castellum may - through negli
gence - cause damage to a person or to the property of
another. The Company might also cause environmental
damage for which it will become liable.
Inadequate insurance coverage may result in unfore
seen costs for Castellum. Liability and compensation
for damage might also arise due to personal injury
and damage to the property of another as well as for
remediation of environmental damage.
• Preventive measures to minimize the risk of damage to
property, person or environment
• All properties will be covered by full value insurance
• Subscribe to an insurance which covers liability and
other economic losses
• Environmental inventory of existing portfolio and when
acquiring new properties in order to identify and
address environmental and health risks

Employees

To recruit, develop and retain motivated and engaged employee is crucial to Castellum's long-term success.

Employees

Risk Exposure Risk management
Failing to recruit, develop and retain employees and
executives with appropriate and high-quality skills.
Bad hires in the wrong place, disgruntled employees,
poor leadership and an organization that fails to
encourage open dialogue and stimulate development
can lead to employees being discontented, under
performing or quitting. In turn, dissatisfied employees
and high employee turnover lead to increased costs,
poorer customer relations, reduced internal efficiency
and - ultimately - to lower profitability.
• Castellum's common value-system
• Open and transparent work environment

Management

Management risks refer to risks associated with the ongoing management of Castellum's real estate portfolio, which has a direct impact on the income from property management.

Rental income

protection and minimum indexation

Property costs

Risk Exposure Risk management
Risks concerning property costs mainly relate to cost
increases beyond what Castellum can be compensated
for through contractual rents, indexation and surcharge.
It can also refer to unforeseen costs and extensive
renovation needs.
The price of electricity is determined by supply and
demand in an open, deregulated and partly internatio
nal market. Other media costs are partly controlled by
local monopolies, which creates uncertainty in future
costs. The basis for calculating ground rent levels may
change in future renegotiations, and political decisions
can change both tax rate and tax assessment value
used for calculating property tax. Indirect costs for em
ployees – such as payroll taxes and other obligations
– could also be affected by political decisions.
• High percentage of cost recharge
• Compensation via minimum indexation
• Continuous operations optimization and energy
efficiency efforts
• Electricity hedging
• Demarcation list landlord/tenant
• Prevention of rental losses via background checks
on customers and operating an "in-house" debt-
collecting business
• Long-term maintenance planning, in order to optimize
maintenance costs over time
Regulatory compliance
Risk
That official reports might not give a true and fair view
of Castellum's operations, results and financial position,
or that the reporting in some other way does not abide
by prevailing regulations.
Exposure
Misleading reporting by Castellum would result in bad
will and a bad reputation in the market. This could lead
to uncertainty among investors, increased risk premium
– and ultimately – to negative share-price develop
ment. This would cause economic loss for Castellum's
current owners. Other effects could include investors
making incorrect investment decisions, regulatory
authorities exerting sanctions and, in the end, the
Castellum share becoming delisted.
Risk management
• A corporate culture based on high ethical ideals and
orderliness
• Strict internal control processes with several levels
of quality assurance
• Competent and experienced personnel
• Closely following the development of regulations to
be able to implement any changes in a timely manner
• A compliance function, reporting directly to the Audit
and Finance Committee
Castellum's potential non-compliance with existing
regulations or non-adaptation to changing regulations
regarding income tax and VAT. Tax is also an important
parameter in the context of calculation.
Incorrect tax management might lead to erroneous
tax being paid, to tax penalties and, in some cases,
to qualified opinion. Poor fiscal management may
lead either to an overestimation of the return – which
means insufficient actual return. Or it could lead to an
underestimation of the return, with the risk of a funda
mentally profitable investment not being implemented.
• Strict internal control processes and external quality
assurance of, for example, income tax returns
• Open claims regarding doubtful items
• Continuous training of employees
• Closely following the development of legislation,
praxis and court orders

Financing

Castellum's single greatest risk is not to have access to financing. Conditions, as well as credit market rules can change quickly, thus affecting Castellum's interest rate risks, financial costs and ability to extend existing credit agreements and sign new ones.

Financing

Risk Exposure Risk management
The liquidity and refinancing risk is the risk that
financing is either not available, or conditions are very
unfavourable, at any given time.
Property ownership is a capital-intensive business that
requires a well-functioning credit market. Access to
finance is fundamental for Castellum and for continued
growth. Insufficient liquidity reserves could result in
Castellum missing out on business opportunities.
Furthermore, all lenders are not equally strong financi
ally, which means that counterparty risks are built into
the system.

Möjligheter och risker

Corporate Governance Report

Sustainable value creation

In this space a year ago, I discussed the balancing act of the Board's two main tasks. On one side of the scale we serve as a control function, and on the other we become a handson, close-to-the-source powerhouse that both challenges and supports management. All of this, with the intention of generating long-term shareholder value, which has been Castellum's stated task and hallmark since the IPO almost eighteen years ago. We call it sustainable value creation.

This past year was a strong year for global stock markets. It was also the case for Sweden with a total yield, after restoration of dividends, of 16 per cent for Nasdaq Stockholm. During the same period, the Castellum share generated a total yield of 27 per cent. For the latest three-year and tenyear periods, the Castellum share's average annual total yield reached 17 and 11 per cent respectively. The Board keeps these numbers fi rmly in mind. Everyday discussions and decisions of the Board as well as management are triggered by, and often land in, the question "Do our operations generate long-term shareholder value?" or more simply: "Is this good for the shareholder?" The guiding principle is a sure thing, but the answers are not always easy or obvious.

As we all know, a number of factors affect the Castellum yield, which Castellum cannot always infl uence. These include certain macro-economic conditions and investor preferences regarding risk appetite and growth valuation. The Castellum Board of Directors monitors global trends in order to better position the Company to seize opportunities provided by varying world conditions. Throughout, the Board steadily holds the course on company objectives and strategy at an overall level.

From a strategic and tactical perspective, it is equally important to divest as it is to invest. During the autumn, Castellum implemented two major divestments, refl ecting the strategy activities of Board and management. Parallel to this, and relentlessly, Company efforts have created growth potential through acquisitions, new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. This has resulted in a considerable fl ow of business: a number of major, but also smaller, entrepreneurial opportunities for our strong local organizations with proximity to our customers and their varying needs. We grow where Sweden grows. The potential value of numerous smaller investments is very attractive over all. Castellum's high activity level is matched by the committed and proactive climate of the Board, which gathered for twelve board meetings in 2014 – compared with the seven meetings proposed in the initial plan.

Since the AGM in March 2014, we have developed committee work by establishing an Audit and Finance Committee (AFC) of three members, who cover an expanded fi eld of operations. This new work format provides improved

opportunities for closer Board involvement and support for executive management on key issues. One of the areas on the AFC's agenda was the reorganization of accounting and fi nancial activities. This involved a modernization of work processes, effi ciency improvements and improved risk management as well as professional development opportunities for our employees.

Access to fi nance is the largest single risk of a capital intensive business such as real estate. This also applies to Castellum, even though we operate with a much lower loan to value ratio than most Swedish listed real estate companies. Against this background, it was very pleasing that the management team completed renegotiations and new negotiations of credit agreements for SEK 12 billion during 2014, at very favourable conditions. With an LTV ratio of 49 per cent at the end of 2014 and unused long-term credit facilities of SEK 4 billion, Castellum is able to resolutely pursue optimal repositioning of the real estate portfolio. This is in line with the adopted strategy to invest fi ve per cent of the property value annually, in order to deliver the ten per cent growth in cash fl ow that is Castellum's overall objective.

A fi nal area to highlight from a fi nancial control perspective is the organization of auditors in accordance with a decision from last year's AGM. The transition was smooth and it generated additional value in the form of complementary perspectives on risk-mapping and effi ciency issues.

Castellum is Sweden's largest listed real estate company. As a leading representative of the industry, Castellum continues to have high ambitions of contributing to a sustainable society. This is not new for Castellum; it has been a cornerstone since the company rose from the ashes of the real estate crisis in the early 1990s. It has been known by many names, but sustainability is central to what we refer to as responsible business, i.e. to be ecologically, socially and economically responsible. Learn more about our approach and objectives on pages 32–43.

Being a responsible business is gratifying and profi table.

Let me send a message and highlight a few examples.

The message is that running a responsible business ultimately results in profi ts. Castellum's promise to our shareholders is to create long-term growth in income from property

management and dividends as the basis for a competitive long-term total yield in relation to risk. We are convinced that farsighted, ambitious and persistent social responsibility constitutes the foundation for sustainable value creation for our shareholders.

Sustainability is also enjoyable on a human level as it allows us to broaden our perspectives. An example of this is the 60 adolescents and young adults from all parts of society who enriched Castellum as a workplace in 2014. They worked as apprentices, holiday workers, interns and trainees for shorter or longer periods. As a company we were enriched by increased diversity and rejuvenation while these young people entered the labour market and acquired the fi rst solid reference for their resumés. We were also able to offer several of them permanent positions. Considering that the total number of Castellum employees is not more than 295, these initiatives corresponded to 20 per cent of the workforce and thus illustrate the broad commitment of our organization. The Board encourages these activities and results, with great pride.

We make sure to hold board meetings at our various subsidiaries in order to keep the Board of Directors close to operations. It's also a great way for Castellum employees to have direct contact with Board members. One of last year's highlights was the December meeting at Eklandia in Lindholmen, Gothenburg. In addition to a thorough presentation of the prospects for this region and its market, we had the opportunity to have a casual lunch with all employees who had gathered for a traditional common activity in aid of the Gothenburg city mission.

The December meeting also gave the Board the opportunity to welcome new CEOs in two of our six subsidiaries: Cecilia Fasth, CEO of Eklandia, with a broad background in Skanska; and Ola Orsmark, CEO of Briggen, from Jernhusen, contributing experience of innovative development in commuter-station areas. We seized the opportunity to listen to their fi rst impressions – what works well and what can we improve. With joint responsibility, Castellum's Executive Group Management develops Company operations in compliance with the strong corporate DNA that characterizes and distinguishes Castellum from other companies.

In the same spirit as we welcome new employees, I would also like to praise a corporate-culture carrier who will leave Castellum in conjunction with the next AGM. Marianne Dicander Alexandersson has declined re-election to the Board after almost 10 years. Marianne leaves behind an enthusiastic and lasting imprint in Castellum's strong development – a legacy for the rest of us to refi ne and carry into the future.

Another aspect of our role as community builders is to contribute to urban development in the communities

wherein we operate. At the Board's two-day strategy meeting in June, we set aside time to specifi cally focus on the Aspholmen subsidiary's geographical region Mälardalen in general, and Uppsala in particular. In this fast-growing municipality, Castellum recently developed both the Svalan block and Boländerna. We also met with political representatives and offi cials to hear about plans and challenges from a broader perspective. The Board members are eager to learn and asked many questions about how and where Castellum can become best – including issues where other real estate companies might currently have the competitive edge.

One ambition of the Uppsala municipality is to expand commercial and industrial life by drawing in new businesses in attractive business categories – to compete with Stockholm. Proximity to Arlanda airport, Uppsala's academic environment with its highly educated workforce, and the area's attractive and affordable housing opportunities, provide strong incentives for business establishment. And to top it all off, attractive offi ce premises are required. This was why it was especially gratifying to ceremonially kick off exactly this kind of property conversion, with the Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board. The conversion of the old EPA department store into modern offi ces in the Svalan block contributed to the expansion of Uppsala's vibrant urban environment. In addition, Castellum Board members got a chance to meet the new tenants – exactly the kind of enterprise that Uppsala wants to attract.

Castellum can also contribute in other ways, for example, by making the stock market more accessible and closer to potential small investors and local business life. This was the theme when management and other local stakeholders arranged shareholder meetings in Jönköping and Uppsala, and drew a total of almost 400 participants. Institutions and other major shareholders normally enjoy easy access to the management teams of Sweden's major listed companies. However, we want to give our smaller current - as well as potential - shareholders of all ages the opportunity to meet with management with a view to ensuring more diverse funding of Swedish commercial and industrial life. In 2014, the number of Castellum shareholders increased by approx. 4,000 to 16,300.

Finally, I'd like to welcome new shareholders and thank existing owners for their continued confi dence in Castellum. The Board and management, as well as all Castellum employees, are ready to seize new business opportunities and challenges – with sustainable value-creation as our guiding light.

Swedish code for corporate governance

Corporate governance covers the various means of decision making by which the shareholders - directly and indirectly - control the company. Corporate governance has evolved through laws, recommendations, the "Code" (Swedish Code for Corporate Governance), and through self-regulation. It is based upon the comply-or-explain principle, meaning that all rules do not always have to be followed and there is no crime in deviating from one or more particular rules of the Code if there are motives and explanations. The Swedish code for corporate governance is conducted by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board and is found at www.bolagsstyrning.se.

Castellum applies the Code with the purpose of creating good preconditions for taking on the role of active and responsible ownership. Castellum follows the Code and has no deviation to report. The model above describes the overall structure of corporate governance in Castellum AB.

Articles of association

The name of the company is Castellum Aktiebolag and the company is a public limited company. The registered office of the Board is in Gothenburg.

The objective of the company's activities is to acquire, administer, develop and sell real estate and securities – directly or indirectly through wholly or partially owned companies – and to carry out other activities compatible with these. Changes in Castellum's articles of association are made in accordance with the regulations in the Companies Act. The articles of association, which also include information on share capital, number of Board members and auditors as well as rules for summons and agenda for the annual general meeting is available as a whole on the company's web site.

Shareholders and Annual General Meeting

Castellum AB (publ) is a Swedish public company governed by the Swedish Companies Act, the NASDAQ Stockholm rules for issuers, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance and the articles of association.

The Castellum share is listed on the NASDAQ Stockholm AB Large Cap. At year end, Castellum had approx. 16,270 shareholders. Of the total share capital, 48% was owned primarily by Swedish institutions and funds and 52% was owned by foreign investors. Castellum has no directly registered shareholder with holdings exceeding 10%.

The share capital amounts to SEK 86,003,354, distributed among 172,006,708 shares with a par value of SEK 0.50. Each share, except the company's own repurchased shares of 8,006,708, entitles the holder to one vote and carries an equal right to a share in Castellum's capital. There are no warrants, convertible bonds or similar securities which may lead to additional shares in the company.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM is Castellum's supreme decision-making body where shareholders have the right to make decisions about the Group's affairs.

The AGM is held in Gothenburg during the fi rst half-year after the end of of the fi nancial year. The annual general meeting elects the board of directors and the company's auditors as well as making decisions on changes in the articles of association and on changes in the share capital.

Participation in decision-making requires the shareholder's presence at the meeting, either personally or through a proxy. In addition, the shareholder must be registered in the share register by a stipulated date prior to the meeting and must provide notice of participation in the manner prescribed. Individual shareholders requesting that a specifi c issue be included in the agenda of a shareholders' meeting can normally request the Castellum board to do so well in advance of the meeting via an address provided on the Group's website.

Decisions at the meeting are usually taken on the basis of a simple majority. However, regarding certain issues, the Swedish Companies Act stipulates that proposals must be approved by shareholders representing a larger number of votes than the number of votes cast and shares represented at the meeting.

Annual General Meeting 2014

The latest AGM was held on March 20, 2014 in Gothenburg Opera, Christina Nilssons gata in Gothenburg.

The election committee appoints a chairman amongst its members. The names of the members of the election committee shall be made public no later than six months before the next annual general meeting.

Election Committee

The election committee is the shareholders' body responsible for presenting proposals for the AGM; that is, for Chairman of the Board of Directors, remaining members of the Board of Directors, auditors, and their respective remunerations. The AGM then elects the Board of Directors and auditors

The Annual General Meeting 2014 decided that an election committee should be appointed for the AGM 2015 in order to present proposals for the number of members of the board of directors, election of members of the board of directors, chairman of the board of directors and remuneration to members of the board of directors and modell for appointing a new election committee for the AGM 2016.

The election committee's proposals are publicly announced no later than on the date of notifi cation of the AGM. Shareholders may contact the election committee with proposals for nomination.

The election committee is appointed according to the AGM's decision that the election committee should be established by the chairman of the board of directors that will contact the three largest ownership registered or otherwise known shareholders as per the last share trading day in August and invite them each to appoint one member.

Björn Franzon Magdalena and Lászlo Szombatfalvy and
Stiftelsen Global Challenges Foundation approx. 5.8%
Johan Strandberg SEB Fonder approx. 4.2%
Charlotte Strömberg Charirman of the board in Castellum AB (publ)

Prior to the 2015 AGM, the election committee has held four meetings with recorded minutes. All relevant issues that need to be addressed to comply with the Swedish Code for corporate governance have been dealt with. Among various issues, the election committee has discussed and considered: • to what extent the current board of directors fulfi ls the

requirements that will be imposed on the board of directors as a result of Castellum's operations and development phase,

• how many people should constitute the Board,

• which areas of expertise are, and should be, represented on the board of directors,

• the composition of the board of directors with respect to experience, gender and background,

• remuneration to the members of the board of directors,

• which model should be used for appointing a new election committee for the AGM 2016.

The election committee has received a detailed review of the outcome of the comprehensive evaluation of the board of directors. The review was conducted by a company specializing in board evaluations. Furthermore, the election committee has conducted a recruitment process which included contacts with a recruitment consultant, the drawing up of a set of requirements for the recruitment of a director of the board as well as meetings with candidates for the Castellum Board of Directors. Moreover, in connection with the board evaluation review, the recruitment process and Committee work in general, the election committee has continuously focused on how gender balance in the board is to be maintained.

In order to assess a proposed board member's independence in relation to Castellum and its executive management as well as to the larger shareholders in Castellum, the election committee has gathered information on proposed members for the board of directors. The election committee has assessed that all proposed board members are to be considered as independent in relation to Castellum, its executive management and to the larger shareholders in Castellum. Finally, the election committee has informed the company about its activities and which proposals the Committee has decided to put forward.

The election committee's proposals to the AGM are shown on the previous page. The proposed board of directors is considered to possess the required versatility, broad competence, experience and background relevant for Castellum operations, development phase and mixed range of circumstances. The election committee's proposals mean that three of seven board members are women, including the chairman. The maintenance of a gender balance on the board has been a crucial prerequisite for the work of the election committee.

External auditors

The external auditors are appointed by the AGM and responsible for the shareholders at AGM. They are independent reviewer of Castellum's accounting and corporate governance report and also reviews the board and the CEO.

Castellum's auditors are elected by the AGM for a period of three years. The present period began in 2014 and the next election will therefore take place at the AGM in 2017. The company's auditors are Hans Warén, who works at Deloitte, Magnus Fredmer, who works att EY and deputy auditor Fredrik Walméus, who works at Deloitte. All are certifi ed public accountants.

Guidelines for remuneration for senior executives

The AGM 2014 decided on the following guidelines for remuneration for senior executives:

Castellum is to uphold competitive remuneration levels and attractive terms of employment to recruit and maintain excellent management with the 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 remuneration under an incentive plan may also be offered. The formulation is based on the objective of interconnecting the executive team's interests with shareholder interests and that senior management members are also shareholders in Castellum. Moreover, it entails that an increased proportion of total remuneration is directly connected to the Group's development. This fl exible remuneration will aim to promote long-term value creation within the Group. Flexible remuneration which generally cannot 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. It is also determined by how well soft factors, such as customer and employee satisfaction, are developed. Flexible remuneration is paid as non-pensionable salary. Executives who receive fl exible remuneration are committed to acquiring Castellum shares for at least half the amount of fl exible remuneration after tax.

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

Upon termination by the Company, such period of notice shall not exceed 24 months for the Chief 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 are paid, less pay and compensation received from other employment. Such deduction will not be made in respect of the Managing Director. A severance pay, corresponding to twelve fi xed monthly salaries, will be paid to the Managing Director upon termination by the company. Such severance pay will not be reduced due to other income received by the Managing Director. Castellum has followed the guidelines decided by the AGM 2014.

The proposed guidelines for remuneration for senior executives which will be put forward at the AGM on March 19, 2015 are in principle unchanged compared with those put forward at the AGM in 2014.

The incentive program for the executive group management in respect of the annual profi t-based bonus, is to be applicable for 2014, 2015, 2016, and for the share-priced-based bonus, the effective period is June1st, 2011-May 31, 2017.

For further information regarding remuneration see note 10.

Compliance and internal control

Castellum has a Compliance Officer who monitors compliance, i.e. ensures that laws, regulations and internal rules are complied with.

Castellum's internal control is based on the established "COSO" framework, which consists of the following components: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information, communication and monitoring. Castellum's internal control is described on pages 84-85.

The Compliance Offi cer supports business activities by identifying and following up business risks. The Compliance Offi cer regularly reports risks and compliance to the CEO, as well as to the audit and fi nance committee.

Internal control

According to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Code for Corporate Governance, the Board of Directors is responsible for internal control. This report has been drawn up in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Code for corporate governance and is therefore limited to internal control regarding fi nancial reporting.

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. A schematic description of the internal contral is shown below.

Control environment

The basis for internal control of financial reporting comprises a control environment, which consists of various parts that form Castellum's management culture and values. The fundamentals for Castellum's internal control comprise the following: a decentralized small-scale organization with approx. 600 properties, as well as cost centres, which are managed by six Subsidiaries. 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, etc., are also important for internal control. Documents in use are updated regularly to reflect changes in legislation, accounting standards or listing requirements etc.

Risk assessment

At Castellum, risk management is built into our processes and various methods are used to evaluate and limit risks. We 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, and the Audit Committee, review 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 fi nancial reporting are errors in accounting and valuation of properties, interest-bearing liabilities, taxes and VAT, as well as the risk of fraud, loss or embezzlement of assets.

Control acitivities

The risks identifi ed in fi nancial reporting are addressed by the company's control structure, resulting in a number of control measures. The control measures aim to prevent, discover and correct errors and deviations. They comprise analytical reviews on many levels in the organization: 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 activities; group-wide defi nitions; templates and tools for reporting as well as accounting and valuation principles.

Castellum subsidiaries have their own fi nancial functions, which take part in the planning and follow-up of fi nancial results for their units. The regular self-analysis of unit fi nancial reporting and the analysis made at Group level constitute an important part of internal control. This ensures that fi nancial reporting does not contain any signifi cant errors.

Board reviews the interim and annual reports before publishing.

Information and communication

Castellum has processes for information and communication that aim to ensure the effective and correct distribution of information regarding fi nancial reporting. This demands that all areas of the operation communicate and share relevant and important information. Policies and guidelines regarding fi nancial reporting as well as updates and changes

Castellum's internal control environment

The internal control is governed by

  • Board of Directors' rules of procedures
  • Rules for decision making
  • Instructions for authorization
  • Accounting manuals • Reporting manuals
  • Finance policy, communication policy, insider policy,
  • sustainability policy and Code of Conduct • Guidelines for information security, insurance and electricity tradingl
  • Accounting manual, HR manual, Manager manual
  • Finance instructions
  • Continuity plan

are made available and clearly communicated to the personnel concerned. 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 and Finance Committee. In order to ensure that the external distribution of information is correct and complete, we have both a policy for communicating with the stock market and an information security policy.

Company culture

That Castellum's operations are conducted in a responsible way is a prerequisite for the company's long-term successful business. The objective is to make sound and proper business decisions in all respects, high business morality, good business ethics, responsibility awareness and impartiality.The base of Castellum's code of conduct is to offer good quality and service, to follow laws and regulations, not to discriminate against anyone and to create good working environment and safety.

Cornerstones for Castellum's company culture have been: The decentralized organization, which creates responsibility and committed employees, where each single colleague is a business collaborator. The geographical proximity to customers, community, suppliers and other parties involved creates a responsibility to act correctly and businesslike.

In Castellum's fl at organization each employee has an important role and new ideas are valued. A high level of competence is available within the organization.

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 company management and the auditors. The

company's auditors also report in person directly to the Audit Committee at least twice a year re their observations from the audit and their assessment of internal control. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee conducts an annual review of the risk assessments and agreed-upon measures. Monitoring by the Audit and Finance Committee and the Board of Directors is of particular importance for the development of internal control and for ensuring that measures are taken for potentially emerging shortcomings and suggestions.

The need for internal audits

Castellum features a small-scale organization with six local subsidiaries. Together, these units manage approx. 600 cost centres. All property management is run by the Subsidiaries while fi nancial management is taken care of by the parent company's Treasury Department. This means that Castellum AB is not a profi t centre. It places the fi nancial function of the parent company in the twin roles of a controlling function for the Subsidiaries as well as a compliance-offi cer function for the treasury department. The Finance Director in the parent company also reports directly to the Finance and Audit Committee, without other management in attendance, observations being made or measures taken relating to compliance. In all, this structure provides a rationale for the assessment that there is no need for a special internal auditing unit.

Whistleblower

During 2014, Castellum has implemented a whistleblowing-service "Help us to do right", which can be reached by all the web pages in the Group. The whistleblowingservice is an early warning system which provides both employees as well as external partners a possibility to anonymously report a concern about something that is not in line with Castellum's corporate values and business ethics. The service is administered by an external partner to ensure anonymity and professionalism.

Aim
Financial policy Establishes overall objectives and guidelines for financial risk and how financial operations will be run. The financial
policy also specifies how responsibility for the financial operations will be distributed and how financial risks will be
reported and monitored. The financial policy includes instructions for how operational activities will be run.
Communications policy Ensures that all Group communication is accurate and provided in a professional manner, with optimal timing. The policy covers
both internal and external communications.
Insider policy Ensures ethical activities in the capital market through description of trade and reporting requirements.
Sustainability policy Provides guidelines for how the Group's sustainability activities will be pursued. The efforts will contribute to sustainable
development and constitute an integral and natural part of Castellum's operations, which are based on participation and
engagement.
Code of Conduct Offers guidelines to ensure that business operations are run in a responsible manner, with the objective that all business
decisions are sound and healthy. The Code of Conduct will govern the Group's actions in relation to employees, contrac
tors, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.

Accounting Principles and Notes

(All fi gues 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, 2014, have been approved by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Offi cer for publication on February 2, 2015, and will be proposed to the 2015 Annual General Meeting for adoption. The parent company is a public Swedish limited liability company, registered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The business activities of the Group are described in the Directors' report.

Basis for accounting

Castellum's accounts have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS standards adopted by the EU. Further, the consolidated accounts have been prepared according to Swedish law by application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 (Complementary accounting principles for consolidated accounts).

The accounts are prepared based on fair value of investment properties and derivatives, nominal value for deferred tax and acquisition value for the remaining items.

Critical assessments

Accounts completed in accordance with the IFRS and generally accepted accounting principles requires assessments and assumptions affecting recorded assets, liabilities, income and costs, as well as other information in the accounts. These assessments and assumptions are based upon historical experience and other factors which are considered fair under current conditions. Actual outcome may differ from these assessments if other assumptions are made or other conditions exist.

Investment properties

For valuation of investment properties, assessments and assumptions can have a signifi cant affect on the income and fi nancial position of the Group. These valuations require estimates and assumptions of future cash fl ows and the discounting factor (required yield). To refl ect the uncertainty that exists in the assessments and assumptions, an uncertainty range of +/- 5-10% is normally used in property valuations. Information about this along with prevailing assessments and assumptions is presented in note 11.

Asset acquisition versus business combination

A company acquisition can be classifi ed as either a business combination or an asset acquisition. An acquisition that has the primary purpose to acquire a company's property, i.e., where the company's possible property management and administration are of secondary importance to the acquisition, is classifi ed as an asset acquisition. Other company acquisitions are classifi ed as business combinations.

For asset acquisitions no deferred tax is recorded in the acquisition. Instead, a possible tax discount reduces the acquisition value of the property, meaning that changes in value will be affected by the tax discount in the subsequent valuation.

Deferred tax liability

According to the accounting principles, deferred tax shall be accounted for using nominal tax rate without discount, i.e. the decided 22% corporate tax rate. Actual tax is considerably lower, in part due to the possibility to sell properties in a tax-effi cient manner, and in part due to the time factor.

Income from property management

Castellum's operations are focused on cash fl ow growth from property management - i.e., growth in income from property management - with the objective of an annual increase in property management income by at least 10%. It is also the income from property management that forms the basis of what is yearly distributed to shareholders - at least 50% of the income from property management. Thus, changes in value has not been targeted since they are neither included in the basis for distribution, nor in any other base, e.g. the management's incentive program. To give an accurate picture of Castellum's view on its business operations, the statement of comprehensive income has been designed accordingly - i.e., changes in values (not affecting cash-fl ow) are presented after items affecting cash-fl ow. Furthermore, one performance measure has been added on which the business operations are managed and targeted: the income from property management.

Classification

Fixed assets and long-term liabilities consist of items that are expected to be regained or maturing more than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Current assets and short-term liabilities consist of items that are expected to be regained or settled in less than twelve months from the balance sheet date.

Consolidated financial statements

The Group's balance sheet and income statement include all companies where the parent company has direct or indirect control, which is obtained when Castellum achieves voting majority. All companies in the Group are wholly-owned and there are no associated companies or joint ventures. In addition to the parent company, the Group comprises the subsidiaries listed in Note 22 and their respective sub-groups. The consolidated fi nancial statements are based upon the accounts for all subsidiaries as of December 31. The consolidated fi nancial statements are prepared according to the acquisition method. This means that shareholders' equity in the subsidiaries at the time of acquisition, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the assets and liabilities, is fully eliminated. The shareholders' equity of the Group includes only the part of shareholders' equity in the subsidiaries that has been earned after acquisition.

The consolidated income statement includes companies acquired or sold during the year only for the time of possession. Intra-group sales, income, losses and balances are eliminated in the consolidated accounts. The accounts of foreign operations are translated to SEK by translating the balance sheet to the exchange rate at balance date - except for shareholders' equity which is translated at historical exchange rate. The income statement is translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Currency translation differences are recognized in other total income.

Income

Rental income

Rental income, which from an accounting perspective represents income from operating leases, is invoiced in advance and recorded as a linear allocation in the income statement, based on the terms in the lease. Rental income includes supplementary charges for the tenant, such as debited property tax and heating costs. Pre-paid rents 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 accrued over the leasing period. Pure discounts, such as reduction for successive moving in, are recorded in the income statement for the period in which 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. Sales of properties through companies are net accounted concerning underlying property price and calculated tax. The result from property sales is accounted for as a 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 consists of interest rate income and is recorded as income in the period to which they refer. Received group contributions received and anticipated dividends are also recorded as fi nancial income.

Financial cost

Financial costs include interest and other costs that occur when borrowing money. Pledging costs for mortgages are not considered fi nancial costs and are capitalized as property investments since it increases valuation. Financial costs are accounted for in the period which they refer to. Financial costs also include the interest cost for interest-rate derivatives. Payments for these interest-rate derivatives are accounted for in the period to which they refer. Net fi nancial items are not affected by market valuation of the undertaken interest rate derivatives. Instead, changes in market value of interest-rate derivatives are recorded as changes in value under a separate headline. The portion of interest cost originating from the construction period for major new constructions, extensions or reconstructions are capitalized. Interest is calculated based on the average interest rate level for the Group.

Employee benefits

Employee benefi ts are accounted for as employees perform services in exchange for

remuneration. Benefi ts from incentive plans 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 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, 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 no indications of any signifi cant liabilities in addition to what has already been paid to Alecta.

Income taxes

Income tax in the income statement is divided into current and deferred tax. Income tax is recorded in the income statement except when related to transactions recorded directly in equity. In these cases, related tax effects also are recorded directly in equity. Current and deferred taxes are calculated based on current tax rate, 22%.

Open claims in the income tax return that contain a certain degree of uncertainty are taken into consideration in the tax calculation at the earliest in the year after the fi scal year, after taxation has been assessed by the tax authorities.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recorded in Castellum, using the balance method, for all temporary differences 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 for which the asset or liability is realized. Exceptions are made for temporary differences that arise from the initial accounting for assets and liabilities relating to asset acquisitions. Castellum has two entries that contains temporary differences - 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 to offset tax-loss carry forwards. Deferred tax liability is calculated on the difference between the properties book value and their tax basis value. For changes in either of the two entries above, the deferred tax liability/tax asset is also changed, which is recorded in the income statement as deferred tax.

Castellum has recorded all company acquisitions completed during the year as asset acquisitions, meaning that deferred tax at the time of acquisition not is accounted for in the balance sheet.

Current tax

Current tax, the tax the company must pay on taxable income for the year, is recorded in the income statement. It includes adjustments for previous periods.

Leases

Leases where all crucial risks and benefi ts associated with the ownership fall on the lessor, are classifi ed as operational leases. From an accounting perspective, all existing rental leases related to Castellum's investment properties are classifi ed as operational leases. Refer to accounting principles for income and note 3 for futher information of accounting for leases.

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

There are 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 leased cars. Payments made during the leasing period are recorded as running costs in the income statement, distributed over the leasing period.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held for the purpose of generating rental income, capital appreciation - or both. This is opposed to utilization in the 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 ground-leased properties are classifi ed as 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 are initially recorded at acquisition cost which includes expenses directly related to the acquisition and are subsequently recorded at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. Fair value is 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 an earnings-based value, determined by calculating the net prevailing value of future cash fl ows. A differentiated required yield for each property depending on such factors as location, intended use, condition and standard is taken into consideration. In order to provide further assurance, part of the portfolio has been valued externally.

Changes in value

Changes in value are recorded in the income statement and consist of unrealized as well as realized changes in value. Unrealized changes in value are calculated based on the valuation at the end of the fi nancial year compared with the previous year's valuation, or the acquisition value if the property has been acquired during the year, with the addition of capitalized subsequent expenditures. 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. Principals for calculation of realized changes in value is described in the principles for Income from property sales.

Subsequent expenditures

Subsequent expenditures which lead to economic benefi ts for the company, i.e., increase the valuation of the property and can be reliably calculated are capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are accounted for in the income statement for the period in which they occur. For major new construction and reconstruction projects, interest costs during the construction period are capitalized.

Acquisitions and sales

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

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fi xed assets comprise all equipment, which has been recorded at acquisition value, including deduction of accumulated depreciation according to plan and any writedowns. Acquisition value includes purchase price and costs directly related to the acquisition, e.g., transport-to-site and proper condition for utilization according to the purpose of the acquisition. Depreciation on equipment is based on historical acquisition values after deduction of subsequent write-downs. Residual value is assumed 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, normally fi ve years, except for computers that are expected to have a three-year period of use.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet include assets such as cashand-bank, lease receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables and liabilities such as interest and currency derivatives, accounts payable, other liabilities and loans.

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value equivalent to acquisition value, with the addition of transaction costs, except for fi nancial instruments which are recorded at fair value through the income statement, where transaction costs are excluded. Following the initial recognition, accounting is based on the classifi cation made according to the criteria below. Financial transactions such as cash received or paid as interest and amortization 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.

A fi nancial asset is removed from the balance sheet when the rights are realized, expired or the company loses control of it. A fi nancial liability is derecognized from the balance sheet when the contractual obligations have been paid or in some other way extinguished

Cash and bank

Cash and bank consists of the bank balance at the end of the accounting period and is recorded at nominal value.

Receivables

Financial assets which are not derivatives, that have fi xed or predictable payments and that are not quoted on an active market, are recorded as receivables. In the Group there are mainly rent receivables and other receivables. After individual valuation, receivables have been recorded as the amount at which they are expected to be received. This means that they are recorded at acquisition value with deduction for receivables which are uncertain. Reservation for uncertain receivables is made when an objective risk assessment concludes that the Group might not receive the entire receivable. Receivables in the parent company consist only of receivables from the subsidiaries, and are recorded at acquisition value.

Liabilities

Liabilities refer to credits and operating liabilities such as accounts payable. The majority of Castellum's credit agreements are long-term. In cases where short-term credits are drawn under long-term credit agreements, the credits are considered long-term. The credits are recorded on the settlement date at accrued acquisition value. Deferred unpaid interest is recorded in accrued expenses. A liability is recorded when the counterparty has performed services and a legal obligation to pay exists, even if the invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are recorded when the invoice is received. Accounts payable and other operative liabilities with short duration are recorded at nominal value.

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Swedish kronor (SEK) at the spot exchange rate of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the balance day rate.

Derivat

Interest-rate derivatives are fi nancial assets or liabilities which are valued at fair value, with value-changes recorded in the income statement. In order to manage exposure to fl uctuations in the market interest rate according to the fi nancial policy, Castellum has entered interest-rate-derivative agreements. When using interest-rate derivatives, changes in value may occur, mainly due to changes in market interest rates. Interestrate derivatives are initially recorded in the balance sheet on the trade day at acquisition value, where the absolute majority refer to exchanges in interest-rate fl ows, entailing an acquisition value of zero. They are subsequently valued at fair value with value-changes in the income statement.

Changes in value can be realized as well as unrealized. Realized changes in value refer to redeemed interest-rate derivatives and comprise 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 scal year. Changes in value are calculated based on the valuation at the end of the fi scal year compared to the valuation in the 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 the previous year. Payments made under these agreements are accounted for in the period to which they refer.

In accordance with the fi nancial policy, between 60-100% of foreign investments must be fi nanced in the functional currency of the company. This can be accomplished either by borrowing in the functional currency of the foreign company or by using currency derivatives. In cases where currency derivatives are used they are initially reported in the balance sheet at cost on trade date. Subsequently, they are reported at fair value where the effective portion of the foreign exchange rate change regarding the hedging instrument is recognized in other total income, while the ineffective portion is recognized as change in value in the income statement. The balance date rate is used to determine real value.

The valuation of derivatives at fair value is adjusted for counterparty risk, i.e. CVA and DVA.

Shareholders´ equity

Repurchased shares

Repurchased shares reduce shareholders' equity by the purchase price, including any transaction costs.

Dividends

Dividends are accounted for as a deduction of shareholders' equity, after decision by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Anticipated dividend is accounted for as a fi nancial income by the recipient.

Earnings after tax per share

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

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities which are uncertain regarding timing or amount. A provision is recognized when there are contractual obligations, court order or other legal grounds likely to involve future payments. The amounts are continuously reassessed. Liabilities due in more than one year are estimated using discounting.

Definition of segments

The Group's operations are organized, managed and reported primarily by geographical region. Segments are consolidated according to the same principles as the Group. Income and costs reported for each segment are actual costs and no distribution of common costs, assets or liabilities is made between the regions.

Cash flow statement

The cash fl ow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Net profi t or loss is adjusted for effects of non-cash transactions during the period as well as income or costs associated with the cash fl ow from investment or fi nancing activities. Cash and cash equivalents refers to cash and bank.

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 application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities. RFR 2 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 relationship between accounting and taxation. Differences in accounting principles between the Group and the parent company are presented below.

Presentation

The income statement and balance sheet for the parent company are presented according to the Annual Accounts Act schedules.

Shares in subsidiaries

Shareholdings in subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent company according to the acquisition value method. The book value is regularly compared to subsidiaries' group equity. When the book value is lower than the subsidiaries' group value, a writedown is made in the income statement. Previous write-down no longer justifi ed are reversed.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities for the benefi t of subsidiaries are fi nancial guarantees and are accounted for in accordance with RFR 2, i.e. they are not accounted for as provisions, but instead Castellum provides information in the notes.

New accounting rules and regulations

New and revised existing standards and interpretations, approved by the EU

New standard effective in 2014

New standards effective in 2014 has not had any impact on Castellum's fi nancial reporting.

The most important, and the standards that potentially could affect Castellum future accounting, is IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. IFRS 10 determines the terms for control, and thus when consolidation shall take place, whereas IFRS 11 regulates the accounting for non-controlling interests. IFRS 12 specify disclosure requirements for companies holdings that are not consolidated.

Changes to existing standards effective in 2014

As a result of the introduction of the above recommendations, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in associates and joint ventures, are updated. These changes have not resulted in any changes in Castellum's accounting.

New standards effective 2015

June 13, 2014, the EU adopted IFRIC 21 Levies which states that government fees, for Castellum property taxes, shall be recognized in full when the obligation arises, which takes place on January 1 each year. Castellum adopted IFRIC 21 from Q2 2014. The new interpretation has a minor impact on the balance sheet throughout the year but does not affect the balance at year end. The interpretation has no impact on the income statement.

Changes in Swedish regulations

The Swedish Financial Reporting Council (RFR)

RFR 2, Complementary accounting principles for consolidated accounts, includes adjustments related to the implemented changes in IFRS. Changes made in 2014 has had no impact on Castellum's accounts.

Note 2 Segment reporting

The Group's reporting segments are the following geographical areas; Greater Gothenburg (incl. Borås, Halmstad, and Alingsås), Öresund Region (Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg and Copenhagen), Greater Stockholm, Mälardalen (Örebro, Västerås and Uppsala) and Eastern Götaland (Jönköping and Linköping). 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.

The Group only manages commercial properties.

Note 3 Rental income

Rental value

Group rental income was SEKm 3,318 (3,249). 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, property 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 1% (1%) in comparable portfolio compared with previous year.

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 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 2015 is that a majority of the leases maturing were already renegotiated in 2014 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 2014 was 88.7% (88.4%). It was 88.2% (87.0%) for offi ce and retail properties and 89.7% (91.1%) for warehouse and industrial properties. Total annual rental value for vacant premises during the year amounts to approx. SEKm 417 (467).

Rental income for the period includes a lump sum of SEKm 10 (11) as a result of early termination of leases.

Gross leasing, i.e. the annual value of total leasing, during the year was SEKm 304 (366), of which SEKm 55 (96) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 246 (261), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 12 (23) and SEKm 36 (18) were notices of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Hence net leasing for the year was SEKm 58 (105). The quarter's net lease includes two major terminations of SEKm 32 where the tenants leave in 16 and 24 months respectively. The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income is estimated to 9-18 months.

Risk exposure and credit risk

Castellum's lease portfolio has a good risk exposure. The Group has approx. 4,400 commercial leases and 150 residential leases and their distribution in terms of size is presented in the table below. The single largest lease as well as the single largest customer accounts for approx. 2% of the Group's total rental income, meaning that Castellum´s exposure to a single customers credit risk is very low.

Rent receivables

Rents are invoiced and paid in advance which means that all the Group's rental receivables of SEKm 13 (23) are overdue.

Parent company

The parent company consists of only group-wide functions and the turnover mainly consists of intra-group services.

Note 4 Property costs

Property costs in 2014 was SEKm 1,096 (1,105), equivalent to SEK 307/sq.m. (307). The costs include both direct property costs such as costs of operation, maintenance, ground rent and property tax, and indirect costs such as leasing and property management.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses include costs as electricity, heating, water, facilities management, cleaning, insurance, rent losses and property-specifi c marketing costs. Most operating expenses are recharged 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 for 2014 were SEKm 542 (583), equivalent to SEK 146/sq.m. (161). Operating expenses, which are considered to be at a normal level for the business, are weather dependent which means that they vary between years and seasons. Energy consumption for heating during the period has been calculated to 81% (96%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics. Operating expenses includes rent losses of SEKm 9 (6) corresponding to 0.3% of rental income.

Maintenance

Maintenance costs are ongoing measures to maintain the property's standard and technical systems. The maintenance costs were SEKm 136 (125), equivalent to SEK 37/sq.m. (35).

Ground rent

Ground rent including leasing fees for 2014 was SEKm 27 (26) of which approx. half the amount relates to Greater Stockholm. Ground rent is the annual fee paid to the municipality by the owner of a building on land owned by the municipality. The ground rent is currently calculated in a way that the municipality receives a fair real interest rate based on the estimated market value of the site. Site leasehold is spread over time and is in most cases renegotiated at intervals of 10 to 20 years. At the end of year 2014 Castellum had 89 properties with site leasehold. Existing site leasehold agreements mature relatively even over the next 60 years. When notice is given for a site leasehold the site owner (the municipality) shall, in most cases, compensate Castellum for buildings, etc. There are, however, a few agreements where the municipality can demand that the land is restored.

Property tax

The Group's property tax was SEKm 170 (169), equivalent to SEK 48 sq.m. (47). Property tax is a state tax based on the property's tax assessment value. The tax rate for 2014 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 2014 were SEKm 221 (202), equivalent to SEK 68/sq.m. (57). Leasing and property management are indirect costs for ongoing property management, comprising the costs of leasing operations, rent negotiation, lease administration, rent debiting and collecting, accounting and project administration costs as well as depreciation on equipment in subsidiaries. Of the costs SEKm 131 (112) refers to employee benefi ts and SEKm 10 (9) depreciation on equipment.

Note 8 Changes in value

Investments properties

In 2014, the Swedish real estate market was characterized by strong demand and high turnover. In total, the transaction volume amounted to approximately SEK 160 billion (100), in line with record years 2006–2008. Turnover was particularly high in the fourth quarter when it amounted to nearly SEK 70 billion (35). In addition to continued strong domestic interest, increased foreign interest was also noted: Foreign buyers accounted for 17% (13%) of the volume. Commercial properties accounted for about 76% (69%) of the volume. The interest in offi ce properties was stable and still accounts for the largest segment. However, interest in community properties and hotels also increased.

Big-city regions accounted for 62% (58%) of the volume. However, in absolute terms, signifi cantly increased interest was demonstrated for markets outside major cities.

The change in value 2014 amounted to SEKm 344 (328), corresponding to 0.9% (0.9%). During the year an overall increase in value was idientifi ed and a downward adjustment of the average valuation yield of 0.1% was made. This, together with acquisition gains, project gains and individual adjustments on property level has resulted in a change in value totaling SEKm 488. Realized sale of real estate has resulted in a change in value of SEKm –144. Net sales price amounted to SEKm 3,054 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 163. Hence the underlying property value, which amounted to SEKm 3,217, exceeded last valuation of SEKm 3,198 with SEKm 19. Total value growth net, including this years change, over the past 10 years have been 1.1% per year which is in line with infl ation.

Derivatives

Castellum utilizes interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. If the agreed interest rate deviates from the market interest rate, irregardless credit margins, there is a surplus or sub value in the interest rate derivatives where the non cash-fl ow changes in value are reported in the income statement. Castellum also uses derivatives in order to hedge currency fl uctuation in its investment in Denmark. For currency derivatives, a surplus or sub-value occurs if the agreed exchange rate deviates from the current exchange rate, where the effective portion of value changes is accounted for in other total income.

The value of the interest derivatives portfolio has changed by SEKm –657 (429), mainly due to changes in market long-term interest rates. The value of Castellum's currency derivatives has during the year changed by SEKm –17 (–7) where the effective portion of the value changes of SEKm –14 (–7) is accounted for in other total net income.

Note 9 Income taxes

The swedish income tax for limited liability companies is 22%. In the income statement, 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, to use direct tax deductions for certain reconstructions of the properties, which are capitalized in the accounts, and to utilize existing tax loss carry forwards.

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

Swedish accounting legislation does not permit the presentation of properties at fair value in legal entities, meaning that changes in property values only occurs at Group level and thus not affect taxation. Some fi nancial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, might be recorded at fair value at entity level. In Castellum negative value changes on such instruments are a tax deductible item, while changes up to the acquisition cost of the instruments is a taxable income.

As shown in the table below, taxable income for 2014 is negligible, since Castellum uses the above mentioned depreciation for tax purposes and tax deductions for certain reconstructions while property sales mainly were made in the form of tax-free share transfers. Current paid tax occurs because a few subsidiaries are not allowed to make fi scal group contributions.

Tax loss carry forwards consist of prior year's tax losses. The losses, which are not restricted in time, are used to offset future taxable profi ts. Remaining tax loss carry forwards are estimated to SEKm 1,193.

Total tax may differ from nominal tax due to non-taxable/tax-deductible income/ costs or as an effect of other tax adjustments. Total tax cost in Castellum's income statement is less than nominal tax. The effective tax on income from property management, without consideration of tax loss carry forwards, can be calculated to 7%.

Board remuneration

Board remuneration was decided by the Annual General Meeting 2014 to SEKk 2,235, of which SEKk 585 to the Chairman of the Board and SEKk 275 to each other Board member. Additional remuneration for committee work is totally SEKk 210. The amounts applies from the AGM 20-03-2014 to the AGM 19-03-2015.

Executive management

The executive management includes the Chief Executive Offi cer, the Chief Financial Offi cer, and the Head of Business Development of Castellum AB and the six Managing Directors of the subsidiaries.

Remuneration and benefits

Remuneration and benefi ts for the executive management are prepared by the remuneration committee and decided by the Board of Directors. The remuneration comprises a fi xed salary and a variable remuneration according to an incentive plan described below. During the three-year period of the plan, the variable remuneration can amount to a maximum of three years' salary. The executive management, have an incentive plan that comprises two parts:

  • One profi t-based part based on the result of income from property management compared to the previous year, and an overall estimation of the development of certain soft factors such as customer and personnel satisfaction. Full outcome requires that the growth in income from property management per share is 10% per year. When growth is in the range 0-10%, a linear calculation of the incentive is made. The profi t-based part is paid out yearly as salary after the year-end closing and can total no more than six months' salary per year. The outcome for 2014 was 78%, representing a cost of SEKm 7.4 including social costs. The plan ended at the end of 2014.
  • 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 index for real estate shares in Sweden, the Eurozone and Great Britain. For full outcome of the incentive program, the total return must be at least 50% during the period and the total return has to exceed the index development by at least 5%-units during the period. When growth is in the ranges 0-50% and 0-5%-units respectively, a linear calculation of the incentive is made. Any payments due is paid as salary after the measurement period of June 2014-May 2017. During the three-year period, the share-price-based part can total no more than one-and-a-half-years' salary, equal to a cost for Castellum of SEKm 35, including social costs. As of December 2014, the outcome outcome was 20%,

representing a cost of SEKm 1.0 including social costs. Final settlement will occur in May 2017. A three-year share-based incentive program expired in May 2014 and a settlement of SEKm 6.6 million including social costs was expensed in 2014.

Executives in receipt of variable remuneration according to the incentive plan must acquire Castellum shares for at least half of the amount of the payment due after tax. The paid incentive 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 executive management is 65 years.

Notice of dismissal

The period of notice shall, when given from the company, not exceed 6 months regarding the Managing Director and 12 months for any other member of the executive management of the company. When given by the Managing Director or any other member of the executive management of the company, the period of notice is 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. No deduction will occur for the Managing Director. At the company's dismissal of the Managing Director, a severance pay of 12 months' fi xed salary is paid which shall not be reduced as a result of other income that the Managing Director receives.

Pensions for other employees

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 20 employees within the Castellum Group who instead have defi ned ITP-plans 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 2014 146% (December 2013: 148%). The collective consolidation level is made up by 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

Absence due to illness for the year was 3% (2%), of which 0.4%-unit (1.0%) was for long-term sick leave. Absences due to illness for men and women were 2% (2%) and 3% (3%) respectively. Absences due to illness were 1% (1%) for the age group 29 years and younger, 2% (3%) for the age group 30-49 years and 4% (1%) for the age group 50 years or older. Absence due to illness for the parent company was 3% (1%), of which 0%-unit (0%) was for long-term sick leave.

Valuation model

According to accepted theory, the value of an asset is the net present value of future cash fl ows that the asset is expected to generate. This section aims to describe and illustrate Castellum's cash fl ow-based 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 and building rights are added to this. The valuation is thus under IFRS 13, level 3.

The required yield and the assumption regarding future real growth are crucial for the calculated value of the real estate portfolio, as they are the most important valuedriving 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.

Internal valuation

Castellum records the investment properties at fair value and has made an internal valuation of all properties as of December 31, 2014. The valuation was carried out in a uniform manner, and was based on a ten-year cash fl ow model, which was summarized above. The internal valuation was based on an individual assessment for each property of both its future earnings capacity and its required market yield. Valuations are made locally in each subsidiary and are quality assured by Castellum AB, which also has overall responsibility for both the process, system and for determining the macroeconomic assumptions.

Assumptions of cash flow

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. In the valuation, the economic occupancy rate gradually improves during the 10-years period and reaches 96%. Included in property costs are operating expenses, maintenance, ground rent, property tax, and leasing and property administration.

Assumptions per property category 31-12-2014, year 1 Offi ce/Retail Warehouse/Industrial
Rental value SEK/sq.m, 1,350 799
Vacancy 10% 9%
Direct property cost SEK/sq.m. 316 180
Property management SEK/sq.m 35 25

Assumptions of required yield

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 the agreements. Leasehold properties where Castellum under contractual agreement have a reset obligation are assigned an additional individual risk premium of 1.0%.

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 in order to not assume perpetual real growth.

Assumptions per property category 31-12-2014 Offi ce/Retail Warehouse/Industrial
Real interest rate 3.0% 3.0%
Infl ation 1.5% 1.5%
Risk 4.5% - 12.5% 6.9% - 14.0%

Weighted d:o, discounted factor year 1-9 7.8% 8.9%
Weighted d:o, discounted factor residual value* 6.3% 7.4%

* required yield on total capital minus growth equal to infl ation

The calculated required yield is then calibrated compared to the markets required yield. To get an opinion about the markets required yield Castellum follows completed transactions. In an inactive market within a certain area or for a certain type of property, Castellum compares the data from transactions completed in a similar area or for a similar type of property. In the absence of completed transactions the opinion is based on existing macroeconomic factors.

The average valuation yield for Castellum's real estate portfolio, excluding development projects and undeveloped land, can be calculated to 6.9% (7.2%). Contracted rental levels are considered to be in line with the market levels.

Uncertainty range and sensitivity analysis

A property's market value can only be confi rmed when it is sold. Property valuations are calculations performed according to accepted principles 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 +/– 1,880 SEKm which corressponds to SEKm 35,719–39,479.

Required yield = discount rate – 3,063/+ 3,921 – 1,230/+ 1,545

The sensitivity analysis shown above illustrates how a +/- 1%-unit change in growth assumptions in future cash fl ow and required yield affects the valuation. The sensitivity analysis is however not realistic thus one isolated parameter rarely changes, since the assumptions made are linked together regarding cash fl ow and required yield.

External valuation

In order to provide further assurance and validation of the valuation, 154 properties - representing 57% of the value of the portfolio - have been valued externally by Forum Fastighetsekonomi AB. The properties were selected on the basis of the largest properties in terms of value, but they also refl ect the composition of the portfolio as a whole in terms of category and geographical location of the properties. Forum's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 21,109, within an uncertainty range of +/- 5-10% on property level, depending on each property's category and location. Castellum's valuation of the same properties totalled SEKm 21,383, i. e., a net deviation of SEKm –274, corresponding to –1%. The gross deviation was SEKm +620 and SEKm –894 respectively, with an average deviation of 7%.

In addition, NAI Svefa made a desk-top valuation of 41 properties corresponding in value to 25% of the portfolio. Forum's valuation of the selected properties amounted to SEKm 9,105. Castellum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 9,348, i.e. a net deviation of SEKm –243 corresponding to –3%. Forum's valuation of the same properties amounted to SEKm 9,216, i.e. en net deviation of SEKm –132 corresponding to –1% compared to Castellum's valuation.

It can be noted that Castellum's deviation from the two external valuers accommodated well within the uncertainty range of +/–5-10%.

Note 13 Shareholders' Equity and Net Asset Value

Items in shareholders' equity

The share capital as of December 31, 2014 consisted of 172,006,708 registered Ashares 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).

Other capital contribution

Other capital contribution is shareholders´ equity contributed by shareholders.

Currency translation reserve

Currency translation differencies as a result of foreign operations.

Currency hedge reserve

Refers to the effective part of unrealized changes in value related to currency derivates used to hedge investments in foreign operations.

Retained earnings

Retained earnings relates to earnings earned in the Group. The Group's earlier depositions to the restricted reserves is also included in this item.

Restricted and non-restricted equity in the parent company

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.

Retained earnings

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

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 2014 is SEK 4.60 per share, SEKm 754 in total. The amount is recorded as a liability after the annual general meeting has approved the dividend.

Net asset value

Net asset value can be calculated both long and short 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 1,357 and SEKm 3,612 respectively.

Actual net asset value 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 22%, 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 is equivalent to approx. 5%, meaning that an additional SEKm 2,783 will 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 a +/– 5% uncertainty range is equal to SEKm +/– 1,786 after tax.

* Estimated real deferred tax liability net has been calculated to 5% based on a discount rate of 3%. Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 2 years with a nominal tax of 22%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 21%, and that the properties are realized in 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 22% and that 67% are sold indirect through company disposals where the buyers tax discount is 6%, which gives a present value of deferred tax liability of 6%.

Capital structure

Castellum should have a stable capital structure with low fi nancial risk, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.

In the balance sheet there is, besides shareholders equity, liabilities which in principle are both interest free and amortization free and therefore can be considered as shareholders equity. The real estate industry therefore uses loan to value as a key ratio for capital structure instead of solidity. For the same reason the net asset value can be calculated in different ways, which is shown above.

Castellum´s objective is based on growth in cash fl ow and is not directly related to the 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, net investments of at least 5% of the property value will be made yearly. At the moment, this is equivalent to approx. SEKm 2,000. All investments shall 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%. Sales of properties will take place when justifi ed from a business standpoint and when an alternative investment with a higher return can be found.

During 2015, current interest-bearing liabilities amounting to SEKm 3,384 (1,952) are due for payment. Since they are covered by unutilized long-term credit agreements, they are treated as long-term interest-bearing liabilities.

Note 15 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 17,409 (17,649), which with a tax rate of 22% is equivalent to a tax payment of SEKm 3,830 (3,883). Castellum has deferred tax of SEKm 218 (183) which relates to properties accounted for as asset acquisitions. According to present regulations deferred tax at the time of the accquistion shall not be accounted for in the balance sheet, which is shown in the table below.

The parent company reports a deferred tax asset of SEKm 154 (103) corresponding to 22% of the unutilized tax loss carry forwards of SEKm 698 (468).

Tax loss carry forward

Castellum´s tax loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2014 are estimated to SEKm 1,193 (921). The change is presented in note 9.

Surplus- and sub value of properties for tax purposes

When calculating the tax effect on a sale of all properties in the Group, the book value in the Group of SEKm 37,599 (37,752) must be compared to the residual value for tax purposes in the legal entity, which amounts to SEKm 18,997 (19,182). 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 18,602 (18,570).

Previous write-downs where tax deductions have been made amount to approx. SEKm 170. These may be reversed in the case of a future increases in value.

Note 16 Other provisions

Other provisions relate to rental guarantees, with a maximum commitment to January 31, 2019, estimated to SEKm 20 (0) and other commitments in connection with the sale of real estate amounting to a maximum of SEKm 3 (0).

Note 17 Derivatives

Valuation

Castellum uses interest rate derivatives in order to manage the interest rate risk and achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. This strategy means that there may be changes in value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio from time to time. These value changes occur primarily due to changes in market interest rates. Castellum also uses currency derivatieves to provide financing in foreign currency, which are included in the derivative portfolio market value.

To calculate the market value of derivatives, market rates for each term and, where appropriate, exchange rates, as quoted on the market at the closing date are used. Interest rate swaps are valued by discounting future cash fl ows to present value while instruments containing options are valued at current repurchase price. As of December 31, 2014, the market value of the interest rate derivatives portfolio amounted to SEKm –1,357 (–683) where fair value is established according to level 2, IFRS 13.

In the balance sheet derivates are accounted for as long-term liabilities since the amount will not be settled in cash. However, a theoretical matured amount during 2015 can be mathematically calculated to SEKm 316.

Counterparty risk

For valuation of derivatives at fair value, an adjustment is made for counterparty risk in the form of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) and Debt Value Adjustment (DVA). CVA refl ects Castellum's risk of suffering a credit loss in the event of a counterparties' default, while the DVA represents the reverse. The adjustment is calculated on counterparty level, based on anticipated future credit exposure, the risk of default and recovery rate of exposed credits.

In order to limit counterparty risk, Castellum's derivative transactions are covered by general agreement with netting clauses (ISDA). This allows Castellum to offset positive and negative market values in the event of default.

Note 18 Financial Risk Management

Financing

Real estate is a long-term asset that requires long-term fi nancing with an allocation between equity and interest-bearing liabilities. Castellum credits can, from a security perspective, be divided into the following categories:

  • Credits pledged by Castellum's receivables from subsidiaries, including mortgages.
  • Credits directly to subsidiaries pledged by mortgages. Credits directly to subsidiary have, in the majority of the cases, also a guaranteed commitment from the parent company.
  • Unsecured credits.
  • Issuing of bonds, without pledged securitiy.
  • Issuing of commercial papers, without pledged security.

All types of credit agreements contain normal termination terms, and in some cases renegotiation terms for changes in business and delisting. If the lender calls for such renegotiation and the parties can not agree, the credit agreements have established settlement times for the credit agreement subject to such terms.

Utilized credits secured by pledged mortgages were at the end of the year SEKm 12,919. 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 within 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%. In all cases, the guarantee to lenders is issued by a comfortable margin to Castellum's target capital structure.

Financial policy

Castellum's funding and management of fi nancial risk are conducted in accordance with the fi nancial policy adopted by the Board of Directors. Castellum shall have a low fi nancial risk with a loan to value ratio not exceeding 55% in the long run and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. The fi nancial operations in Castellum shall be run in such a way that the need for long- and short-term funding and liquidity is ensured. In addition, net interest expenses at each time shall be minimized within the given risk authorization. The fi nancial policy outlines the overall authorization and how fi nancial risk should be reported and monitored. The fi nancial risks are monitored and reported quarterly to the Board. As part of continually improving and adapting the fi nancial risk management, the Board has an annual review of the fi nancial policy.

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 risk management

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.

* Mandate in financial policy have, in accordance with the Board's decision, changed during the year from 0.5-3 years to 1-4.5 years.

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, followed by interest rate derivative transactions 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.

Funding risk

Demands for long-term funding make Castellum look for long term capital in credit agreements in order to minimize the risk of refi nancing. To reach maximum fl exibility utilized loans are revolving, i e the turnover interest rate is normally within 1-3 months. Short term revolving loans leads to great fl exibility when it comes to fi xed interest rate terms, basis for interest rate and the opportunity for amortization at every turnover occasion without any marginal breaking costs or other compensation to lenders. 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 for liquidity and long-term funding, Castellum are regularly re-negotiating and, when needed, entering into new credit agreements or forms of borrowing. At the end of the year Castellum had binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 26,065 (24,300) of which SEKm 22,357 (21,859) were long-term binding and SEKm 3,708 (2,441) short-term binding. Of utilized long-term credits, SEKm 19,357 (18,659) were long-term binding credit agreements in bank and SEK 3,000 (3,200) were MTN. Of short-term credits, SEKm 1,228 (1,427) were short-term credits in bank, 1,200 (0) MTN, and SEKm 1,280 (1,014) were outstanding commercial papers. At year-end unutilized credit in long-term credit agreements amounted to SEKm 3,958. Castellum thus has good access to credits to fi nance investment in new constructions, extensions, reconstructions and acquisitions.

During the year a new credit agreement of SEKm 500 has been added and agreements for a total of SEKm 11,500 have been renegotiated and extended. MTN of SEKm 1,500 were issued and SEKm were 500 repurchased.

The average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was 3.3 years (3.4).

Interest risk

Changes in market interest rates and credit spreads affect borrowing costs. How fast and how much changes in these two components affect depends on the selected term. To limit the immediate impact of changes in market interest rates, Castellum has chosen to work with both a short and long term interest rate maturity structure. For the same reason, Castellum has chosen to enter credit agreements, issue commercial papers and MTN with different maturities on agreed credit margin. Changes in both interest rates and credit margins will, however, always have an impact on net fi nancial items over time.

The interest coverage ratio is the fi nancial measure that describes a company's risk level and resilience to changes in the net interest. Castellum has an objective of an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%. For 2014, the interest coverage ratio was 318% (292%). The average duration was as per December 31, 2014 2.8 years (2.7), the average effective interest rate was 3.4% (3.5%) and the average interest rate for the year was 3.3% (3.7%).

Margins and fees on long-term credit agreements are established with an average duration of 2.7 years (2.4).

An interest rate change of +/- 1% effects profi t next twelve months with –67 respectively +17 SEKm with the assumption that the interest rate not can fall below 0%.

In the interest rate maturity structure, interest rate derivates are accounted for in the earliest time segment in which they can mature. Credit margins are distributed in the interval of the underlying loans.

Currency risk

Castellum owns properties in Denmark to a value of SEKm 530 (466), which means that the Group is exposed to currency risk. The currency risk is primarily related to when income statement and balance sheet in foreign exchange are translated into Swedish currency. In accordance with the fi nancial policy, between 60-100% of investments in foreign subsidiaries are to be fi nanced in that country's currency. The transaction risk in the Group is insignifi cant and will be managed by matching income by costs.

The impact on fi nancial position due to an appreciation of SEK to DKK by 10% is SEKm +15.

Counterparty risk

Counterparty risk refers to the risk that, at any moment, is estimated that Castellum's counterparties do not fulfi ll their contractual obligations.

Castellum limits counterparty risk by requiring high credit ratings of the counterparties. High rating is defi ned to be that no rating agency indicates a rating that is below investment grade. Castellum's counterparties are the major Nordic banks.

Future cash-flow

Future cash-fl ows attributable to liabilities are shown in the table below. The assumption is made that a maturing loan is replaced by a new loan during the term of maturity of the underlying credit agreement and to a Stibor interest rate as listed at year end.

Financial instruments such as rent receivables, accounts payable etc. are recorded at accrued acquisition value with deduction for any write-downs. Hence, fair value is assessed to comply with book value. Long-term interest bearing liabilities have primarily short-term interest terms meaning that accrued acquisition cost corresponds to fair value.

Note 25 Subsequent Events

The Financial Reports are a part of the Annual Report and were signed by the Board of Directors on February 2, 2015.

The Board of Directors of Castellum AB intends to propose the annual general meeting a dividend of SEK 4.60 per share, which is an increase of 8% compared to previous year. 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 will take place on March 19, 2015.

In January Castellum AB (publ) has acquired, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Fastighets AB Brostaden and Fastighets AB Briggen, properties in Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Helsingborg for totally SEKm 762. Via the acquisitions in Copenhagen Briggen more than doubles its holding in Denmark.

Proposed Distribution of Profits

The following funds are at the Annual General Meetings disposal:
Retained profits SEK 4,236,074,638
Net income for the year SEK
234,653,941
SEK 4,470,728,579

The Board of Directors propose that the retained profits be appropriated as follows:

Dividend to shareholders, SEK 4.60 per share SEK 754,400,000
Carried forward to the new accounts SEK 3,716,328,579
SEK 4,470,728,579

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 754,400,000 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 Swedish law by application of the recommendation RFR 1 (Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups) by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The equity of the parent company has been calculated in accordance with Swedish law and by application of the recommendation RFR 2 (Accounting for Legal Entities) of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

The proposed distribution constitutes 52% of the group's income from property management, which is in line with the expressed objective to distribute at least 50% of the group's income from property management, having considered investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and overall position. The group's net income after value and tax changes amounted to SEKm 1,211. The distribution policy is based on the group's income from property management, and as a result non-affecting cash flow increases and/or decreases in value on the group's properties and on interest and currency derivatives, do not normally affect the distribution. Such non-affecting cash flow profit or loss, have neither been taken into account in previous year's resolutions regarding distribution of profit.

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 justified 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). Accordingly, the board of directors would 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 of the group will, after the proposed distribution, be sufficient 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 financial position of the company and the group, and the possibilities to fulfil their obligations. The proposed dividend constitutes 16% of the company's equity and 6% of the group's equity. The group's loan to value ratio and interest coverage ratio 2014 amounted to 49% and 318% respectively. The expressed objective for the group's capital structure, implying a loan to value ratio which not permanently exceeds 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%, will be maintained after the proposed dividend. The capital structure of the company and the group is sound considering the prevailing conditions of the real property business. In light of the above, the board of directors concludes that the company and the group have all the necessary requirements to manage future business risks and also to carry potential losses. Planned investments have been considered when deciding on the proposed dividend.

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 longterm credits. The credits may be utilised at short notice, implying that the company and the group are prepared to handle liquidity fluctuations as well as possible unexpected events.

Overall position

The board of directors has considered all other known conditions which might affect the financial position of the company and the group and which have not been considered within the scope of the above considerations. In this respect, no circumstances have been found that indicate that the proposed dividend would not be justified.

Evaluation to actual value

Derivatives instruments and other financial instruments have been valued to the actual value in accordance with section 4 subsection 14 a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The valuation has presented an undervalue of SEKm 1,058 after tax, which has affected the equity by the mentioned amount.

Our Audit Report regarding this Annual Report was submitted on February 2, 2015

Hans Warén Magnus Fredmer Authorized Public Accountant Authorized Public Accountant

Auditor's report

To the annual meeting of the shareholders of Castellum AB (publ), corp. id. 556475-5550

Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of Castellum AB (publ) for the year 2014. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included in the printed version of this document on pages 4–112.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and of the consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts and consolidated accounts based on ouraudit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2014 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the

Annual Accounts Act. A corporate governance statement has been prepared. The statutory administration report and the corporate governance statement are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We therefore recommend that the annual meeting of shareholders adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Castellum AB (publ) for the year 2014.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for administration under the Companies Act.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance on the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and on the administration based on our audit. We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, we examined the Board of Directors' reasoned statement and a selection of supporting evidence in order to be able to assess whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.

As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director is liable to the company. We also examined whether any member of the Board of Directors 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 the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.

Opinions

We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the profi t be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the fi nancial year.
