Until Håkan leaves at the next AGM he and his management team has full support from the board to continue implementing the strategy of the company.

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 customised commercial properties, through a strong and clear presence in fi ve Swedish growth regions.
Objective
Castellum's operations are focused on growth in cash fl ow, which along with a low fi nancial risk provides the preconditions for robust growth in the company, and offers shareholders a competitive dividend.
The objective is an annual growth in cash fl ow, i.e., income from property management per share, of at least 10%. In order to achieve this objective, net investments of at least 5% of the property value will be made yearly. At the moment, this is equivalent to approx. SEKm 1,700. 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. In operations, there shall be an continuing focus on improved productivity and effi ciency.
Strategy for Funding
Capital structure
Castellum shall have low fi nancial risk, meaning a loan to value ratio not permanently exceeding 55% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 200%.
Purchase or transfer of own shares shall 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.
Dividend
At least 50% of pre-tax property management income will be distributed. However, investment plans, consolidation needs, liquidity and fi nancial position in general will be taken into account.
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 long-term 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.
In the long term, Castellum will be one of the largest listed real estate companies in Sweden.

Customers and organization
The customers - a reflection of Swedish domestic economy
Castellum has approx. 4,600 commercial contracts, with good risk exposure regarding geography, type of premises, length of contracts and fi elds of industry of the customer. The single largest contract corresponds to approx. 1% of Castellum's total rental income.
It is important that Castellum meets customers expectations. To follow up and evaluate efforts, an external customer survey is carried out annually, Satisfi ed Customer Index. The latest survey, that included offi ces, warehouses, industry and retail, continues to show consistently high marks for Castellum.
Commercial leases
Commercial leases are signed for a specifi ed period of time, generally 3-5 years, where the period of notice is 9 months. The leases normally include a base-rent and an index clause, which provides for an adjustment of the rent corresponding to a certain percentage or connected to the infl ation. Leases may also contain supplements for the tenant's share of the property's total heating, cooling and property-tax costs.
Decentralized and small-scale organization
Castellum's operations are run in a small-scale organization consisting of six subsidiaries which own and manage the properties under their own brands. By having local roots, the subsidiaries forge close relationships with customers and develop thorough knowledge of the market situation and rental development within each market area.
Property management is mainly carried out by Castellum personnel.
Subsidiaries with strong brands
Castellum has six wholly owned subsidiaries which each engage about 35 employees. The subsidiary organizations are not identical but are in principle made up of a Managing Director, 2-4 market areas, business developers and 3-5 employees within fi nance and administration. Each market area employs one property manager with one assistant, one person working with leasing and 3-8 facility managers. Everyone has customer contact. The fl at organization provides a short decision-making process and creates a customer oriented and active organization.
Castellum subsidiaries operate under their own names, which are strong brands on each local market.

Income, Costs and Results
Comparisons, shown in brackets, are made with the corresponding period previous year except in parts describing assets and fi nancing, where comparisons are made with the end of previous year. For defi nitions see Castellum's website, www.castellum.se
Income from property management, i.e. net income excluding changes in value and tax, amounted for the period January-September 2012 to SEKm 953 (889), equivalent to SEK 5.81 (5.42) per share - an increase of 7%. Income from property management rolling four quarters amounted to SEKm 1,237 (1,169) equivalent to SEK 7.54 per share (7.13) - an increase of 6%.
Income from Property Management per share
During the period, changes in value on properties amounted to SEKm 56 (436) and on interest rate derivatives to SEKm –83 (–365). Net income after tax for the period was SEKm 714 (719), equivalent to SEK 4.35 (4.38) per share.
Rental income
Group rental income amounted to SEKm 2,285 (2,181). For offi ce and retail properties, the average contracted rental level, including charged heating, cooling and property tax, amounted to SEK 1,252 per sq.m., whereas for warehouse and industrial properties, it amounted to SEK 742 per sq.m. Rental levels, which are considered to be in line with the market, have increased by 2% in comparable portfolio compared with previous year, which is mainly an effect of index clause adjustments.
Rental value and economic occupancy rate
The average economic occupancy rate was 88.5% (89.4%) and has during the third qaurter been affected by both acquisitions as well as transfers to and from the project portfolio. The total rental value for vacant premises on yearly basis amounted to approx. SEKm 437 (373).
Gross leasing (i.e. the annual value of total leasing) during the period was SEKm 235 (246), of which SEKm 53 (41) were leasing of new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 192 (177), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 24 (15) and SEKm 17 (8) were notices of termination with more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Hence net leasing for the period was SEKm 43 (69) of which SEKm 30 (12) relates to the third quarter isolated. The time difference between reported net leasing and the effect in income thereof is estimated to be between 9-18 months.
Net leasing
The demand on both existing and new constructed premises remains, despite a weakening in the economy, on a good level, which is valid for all Castellum's property types as well as regions. It can be noted that the number of bankruptcies increased slightly, although from a low level.
Rental levels are expected to remain stable.
Property costs
Property costs amounted to SEKm 753 (738) corresponding to SEK 293 per sq.m. (297). Costs for heating during the period has been calculated to 93% (89%) of a normal year according to the degree day statistics.

Central administrative expenses
Central administrative expenses totalled SEKm 66 (63). This includes costs for a profi t-and-share-price related incentive plan for 10 persons in executive management of SEKm 8 (11).
Net interest rate
Net interest items were SEKm –513 (–491). The average interest rate level was 4.0% (4.1%).
Interest rate levels
Changes in value
The transaction volume on the Swedish real estate market totalled approx SEK 65 billion (75) during the period, of which the third quarter accounted for SEK 15 billion (25). Of the transaction volume 70% (50%) where carried out outside the central parts of the major urban regions. Commercial properties accounted for 75% (54%) and foreign buyers for approx. 20% of the transaction volume, which is a slightly higher proportion compared to previous year.
There are arguments that the market's yield for the third quarter are stable, but there are also arguments that they are slightly increased for some types of properties and regions, while slightly decreased for others. The uncertainty and the lower transaction volume in combination with an index clause adjustments for 2013, for Castellum calculated to approx. 0.5%, means that no general yield change has been made in the valuations.
The change in value in Castellum's portfolio during the period amounted to SEKm 56 (436) and consists of individual adjustments on property level, project gains and acquisitions. The change in value includes SEKm 20 from 15 sold properties. The net sales price amounted to SEKm 253 after reduction for assessed deferred tax and transaction costs of SEKm 13. Hence the underlying property price, which amounted to SEKm 266, exceeded the latest valuation of SEKm 233 with SEKm 33.
The value in the derivatives portfolio has changed by SEKm –83 (–365), mainly due to changes in long-term market interest rates. Castellum's currency derivatives, with purpose to hedge currency fl uctuations in Danish investment, has during the period changed SEKm 14 (–2) where the value changes is accounted for in the other total net income.
Tax
The nominal corporate tax rate in Sweden is 26.3%. Due to the possibility to deduct depreciation and reconstructions for tax purposes, and to utilize tax loss carry forwards, the paid tax is low.
Remaining tax loss carryforwards can be calculated to SEKm 1,567 (1,772). Fair values for the properties exceed their fi scal value by SEKm 16,969 (16,197) of which SEKm 510 relates to properties acquired and accounted for as asset acquisitions. As deferred tax liability, a full nominal 26.3% tax of the net difference is reported, reduced by the deferred tax relating to asset acquisitions, i.e., SEKm 3,917 (3,714).
During the year Castellum has entered into an agreement on extended co-operation with the Swedish Tax Authority. Castellum has no current tax disputes.
The Government has proposed a decreased corporate tax rate to 22% with effect from January 1, 2013. If the proposal is adopted it entails a one off income item for Castellum of approx. SEKm 640, due to revaluation of deferred tax.

Net property investments
Property value
Internal valuations
Castellum assesses the value of the properties through internal valuations. These are based on a 10-year cash fl ow based model with an individual valuation for each property of both its future earnings capacity and the required market yield. Projects in progress have been valued using the same principle, but with deductions for remaining investments. Sites with building rights have been valued on the basis of an estimated market value per square metre, on average approx. SEK 970 per sq.m. In order to ensure and validate the quality of the internal valuations, an external valuation – representing over 50% of the portfolio – is made every year-end. The difference between the internal and external valuations has historically been small.
Based on these internal valuations, property value at the end of the period were assessed to SEKm 35,433 (33,867), corresponding to approx. SEK 9,900 per sq.m.

Loan to value ratio and interest coverage ratio
Credit market
The period was marked by unease on the fi nancial markets in Europe and the economic development in the euro area remains week. The Swedish economy developed stronger than expected during the year. A slowdown of the development in Sweden is expected in the next 12 months with a weak development in the labour markets as a result. The expected weak development caused the Swedish Riksbank to cut the repo rate in September with 0.25% to 1.25%. The long term interest rates have been highly volatile during the period and are now at historically low levels.
Generally, access to credit is now at the same levels as corresponding period last year, whereas it for Castellum is considered to be slightly better.
Loan maturity structure
At the end of the period Castellum had binding credit agreements totalling SEKm 22,142 (22,029) of which SEKm 19,561 (19,374) were long term binding and SEKm 2,581 (2,655) were short term binding.
During September Castellum has completed the fi rst issue under its MTN-program. The total issued amount were SEKm 700 with a duration of 3 years, of which SEKm 575 has a fl oating interest rate and SEKm 125 has a fi xed interest rate. After the end of the period Castellum closed an unutilized credit facility of SEKm 500.
After deduction of liquid assets of SEKm 14 (97), net interest bearing liabilities were SEKm 18,458 (17,063), of which SEKm 700 (0) were MTN and SEKm 1,656 (2,235) outstanding commercial papers.
Most of Castellum's loans are short-term revolving loans, utilized in long-term binding credit agreements in the largest nordic banks. This means great fl exibility in the choice of interest rate base, interest rate period and tied up capital. The MTN-program is a complement to the existing funding in banks and will broaden the funding base.
Long-term loan commitments in banks are secured by pledged mortgages and/or fi nancial covenants. Outstanding commercial papers and the MTN-program are unsecured. The interest bearing liabilities amounted to SEKm 18,458 (17,063) of which SEKm 15,880 (14,797) were secured by the company's properties and SEKm 2,578 (2,266) unsecured. The fi nancial covenants state a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 65% and an interest coverage ratio of at least 150%, which Castellum fulfi ls with comfortable margins, 52% and 286% respectively. The average duration of Castellum's long-term credit agreements was 4.4 years (5.1). Margins and fees on long-term credit agreements had an average duration of 3.0 years (3.5).

Interest rate maturity structure
The average effective interest rate as of 30 September, 2012 was 3.6% (4.0%). The market interest rate for an equal portfolio, regarding both current market rate and credit margin, can be assessed to 4.4% (4.7%). In order to secure a stable and low net cash fl ow of interest income/costs the interest rate maturity structure is distributed over time. The average fi xed interest term on the same date was 2.9 years (2.7).
Castellum utilizes interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. Interest rate derivatives is a cost effective and fl exible way of extending loans with short term interest rates to achieve the desired fi xed interest term. In the interest rate maturity structure, interest rate derivatives are accounted for in the earliest time segment in which they can mature.
Credit margins are distributed in the interval of the underlying loans.

Interest rate maturity structure
Currency
Castellum has made investments of SEKm 405 in Denmark, which means that the Group is exposed to a currency risk. A currency translation 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 local currency.
Interest rate and currency derivatives
According to the accounting standard IAS 39, derivatives are subject to market valuation. Castellum utilizes interest rate derivatives to achieve the desired interest rate maturity structure. If the agreed interest rate deviates from the market interest rate, there is a theoretical surplus or sub value in the interest rate derivatives where the non-cash-fl ow affecting changes in value are reported in the income statement. Castellum also has derivatives in order to hedge currency fl uctuation in its investment in Denmark. As for currency derivatives, a theoretical surplus / 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.
As of 30 September, 2012, the market value of the interest rate and the currency derivative portfolio amounted to SEKm –1,072 (–1,003).

Accounting Principles
Castellum follows the EU-adopted IFRS standards and interpretations (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and Annual Accounts Act. Castellum has changed the reporting of sales of property through companies. Previously the transaction was gross accounted concerning underlying property price and calculated tax, while it's now net accounted. The change doesn't affect net income, but it is an offset between changes in value and deferred tax. Previous years have not been adjusted because the amounts were insignifi cant. Accounting principles and methods for calculations have otherwise remained unchanged compared with the Annual Report of the previous year.
Opportunities and Risks for Group and Parent Company
Opportunities and risks in the cash flow
Over time, increasing market interest rates normally constitute an effect of economic growth and increasing infl ation, which is thought to result in higher rental income. This is partly due to the fact that the demand for premises is thought to increase. This leads in turn to reduced vacancies and hence to the potential for increasing market rents. It is also partly due to the fact that the index clause in commercial contracts compensates for increasing infl ation.
An economic boom therefore means higher interest costs but also higher rental income, while the opposite relationship is true during a recession. The changes in rental income and interest cost do not take place at the exact same time, which is why the effect on income in the short run may occur at different points in time.

| Interest costs | – 52/+ 48 | – | + |
Opportunities and risks in property values
Castellum reports its properties at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. This means that the result in particular but also the fi nancial position may be more volatile. Property values are determined by supply and demand, where prices mainly depend on the properties' expected net operating incomes and the buyers' required yield. An increasing demand results in lower required yields and hence an upward adjustment in prices, while a weaker demand has the opposite effect. In the same way, a positive development in net operating income results in an upward adjustment in prices, while a negative development has the opposite effect.
In property valuations, consideration should be taken of an uncertainty range of +/– 5-10%, in order to refl ect the uncertainty that exists in the assumptions and calculations made.

| Loan to value ratio | 65% | 58% | 52% | 47% | 43% |
Financial risk
Ownership of properties presumes a working credit market. Castellum's greatest fi nancial risk is to lack access to funding. The risk is reduced by low loan-to-value ratio and long-term credit agreements.

Valuation - share price related key figures
Earnings
Post-tax inome from property management relating to income from property management (EPRA EPS) amounted to SEK 7.29 (6.85) on rolling annual basis. This results in a share price yield of 8.2% (8.1%).
Net income after tax amounted on rolling annual basis to SEK 4.30 per share (10.03), which from the share price gives a yield of 4.8% (11.9%).
Net asset value
The long term net asset value (EPRA NAV) can be calculated to SEK 99 per share (97). The share price at the end of the period was thus 90% (87%) of the long term net asset value.
If the Swedish Governments proposal concerning decreased corporate tax rate to 22% is approved, this will result in unchanged long term net asset value while actual net asset value increase with approx. SEKm 125 corresponding to 1 SEK/share.

| Estimated real liability, deferred tax 5.1%* | – 786 | – 5 |
| Actual net asset value (EPRA NNNAV) | 14,435 | 88 |
* Estimated real deferred tax liability net has been calculated to 5.1% based on a discount rate of 3%. Further, assessments have been made that tax loss carry forwards are realized in 5 years with a nominal tax of 26.3%, giving a present value of deferred tax liability of 24.1%, and that the properties are realized in 50 years where 33% are sold directly with a nominal tax of 26.3% and that 67% are sold indirect through company disposals where the buyers tax discount is 7%, which gives a present value of deferred tax liability of 6.9%.
Share price/net asset value
Dividend Yield
