Report by the Board of Directors

SUMMARY OF THE LAST QUARTER OF 2007

  • In order to improve the transparency of disclosure, financial results are now split between direct and indirect result in the Notes.
  • Direct result per share (EPRA EPS) i.e. earnings per share excluding the effects of changes in fair value and other extraordinary items grew to EUR 0.06 (Q3: EUR 0.03). Earnings per share came to EUR 0.04 (EUR 0.12), the decrease resulting mainly from the fair value changes and taxes.
  • The fair value change of the investment properties was EUR 0.7 million (EUR 21.1 million) and the fair value of the investment properties increased by EUR 24.4 million to EUR 2,215.7 million (EUR 2,191.2 million) mainly due to acquisitions and investments.
  • Citycon raised a total of EUR 99.3 million in new capital through a successful rights issue.
  • In the last quarter of the financial year, Citycon's net rental income came close to the third quarter and amounted to EUR 27,1 million (EUR 27.3 million). The decrease is resulting largely from increased

redevelopment activities as well as seasonal and timing variation of maintenance and repair expenses.

  • The company signed a EUR 350 million unsecured credit facility agreement to finance Iso Omena acquisition with an international bank group. The loan was oversubscribed, and the related credit margins remained close to previous agreements in spite of the general turbulence in the financial markets.
  • The second and third stages of the extension and redevelopment of the Estonian Rocca al Mare shopping centre were begun with an additional investment of around EUR 38.9 million. In Lahti, Finland, the first redevelopment stage of the Trio shopping centre was completed.
  • Citycon aims to obtain an international environmental rating for three of its initiated pilot projects in sustainable construction.
  • The Board of Directors proposes a per-share dividend of EUR 0.04 (EUR 0.14) and, additionally, a return of equity from invested unrestricted equity fund of EUR 0.10 per share.

SUMMARY OF THE YEAR 2007

  • Turnover increased by 26.9 per cent, to EUR 151.4 million (2006: EUR 119.4 million), due mainly to new acquisitions.
  • Net rental income grew by 24.9 per cent to EUR 103.4 million (EUR 82.8 million) due mainly to acquisitions. Net rental income from like-for-like properties grew by 6.2 per cent.
  • Profit before taxes amounted to EUR 253.5 million (EUR 165.6 million), including a EUR 213.4 million (EUR 120.1 million) in fair value gains of investment properties.
  • Net financial expenses came to EUR 47.3 million (EUR 30.9 million), the interest rate of interest-bearing debt averaging 4.68 per cent (4.35%).
  • Earnings per share were EUR 1.00 (EUR 0.76). The growth was due mainly to fair value gains.
  • Direct result per share (EPRA EPS) came to EUR 0.18 (EUR 0.20). The decrease resulted mainly from increased financing expenses related to new property acquisitions, increase in administrative costs related to strengthening of the organisation, increased property development activities and from the increased number of shares. The decrease was partly mitigated by the lower current tax.
  • Net cash flow from operating activities per share remained strong and amounted to EUR 0.20 (EUR 0.20).
  • Net asset value per share (EPRA NAV) grew to EUR 4.83 (EUR 3.53).
  • According to an external appraiser, the average net yield requirement for investment properties was at 5.6 per cent at the end of 2007.
  • Equity ratio rose to 43.9 per cent (39.1%).
  • During the financial year, Citycon made its largest ever shopping centre acquisition by acquiring the Iso Omena shopping centre, located in Espoo, Finland. In Sweden, Citycon acquired the Tumba Centrum and Strömpilen shopping centres and the Länken retail centre and, in Estonia, the Magistral shopping centre.
  • At the end of the year, Citycon had development and redevelopment projects underway in Finland, Sweden and Estonia to the total value of around EUR 330 million.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

In 2007, retail trade growth remained strong, with new sales records attained during the Christmas season. As a result of tax cuts and wage agreements made in Sweden and Finland during the year, consumer purchasing power increased. Consumer confidence in economic growth, however, weakened towards the end of the year. The prevailing uncertainty is caused by growing inflationary pressure, particularly in the Baltic countries, and by increased volatility and weakened condition of the financial markets. So far, this uncertainty has not had a significant effect for Citycon with regard to the availability of financing and the credit margins paid by the company.

In 2007, construction costs rose by 5.6 per cent in Finland (source: Statistics Finland), 5.4 per cent in Sweden (source: Byggindex) and 12.7 per cent in Estonia (source: Statistics Estonia). Citycon monitors construction cost trends and, in its property development, focuses particularly on project management which can contribute to curbing the effects of increasing costs.

BUSINESS AND PROPERTY PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

Citycon is specialised in shopping centres and other large retail units, its market areas comprising Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries. In Finland, Citycon is the market leader in the shopping centre business, while in Sweden it is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic operators in the real estate sector. The company has established a firm foothold in the Baltic countries.

Citycon continues its responsible growth strategy by expanding its retail property portfolio in selected markets and by developing and redeveloping its properties into entities that serve the needs of retail even better. Citycon's preferred acquisition targets are shopping centres that offer redevelopment and/or refurbishment opportunities, and whose net rental income can be increased with active retail property management.

Thanks to its careful market research and good local knowledge, Citycon has been able to acquire some of the most interesting shopping centres in the major growth centres in the countries where it operates. Similarly, Citycon's new investments are focused on areas where the population and its purchasing power can be expected to grow.

At the end of the reporting period, Citycon owned 33 (26) shopping centres and 53 (53) other properties. Of the shopping centres, 22 (19) were located in Finland, eight (5) in Sweden and three (2) in the Baltic countries.

The market value of the company's property portfolio totalled EUR 2,215.7 million, of which Finnish properties accounted for 71.6 per cent (69.7%), Swedish properties for 23.4 per cent (24.5%) and Baltic ones for 5.0 per cent (5.8%). The gross leasable area at the end of the period was 923,980 square metres.

CHANGES IN FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Citycon measures its investment property at fair value, under the IAS 40 standard, according to which changes in investment properties' fair value are recognised through profit or loss. In accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the International Valuation Standards (IVS), an external professional appraiser conducts a valuation of Citycon's property portfolio on a property-by-property basis at least once a year. However, in 2007, Citycon chose to have its properties valued by an external appraiser on a quarterly basis, due to market activity and rapidly changing market conditions.

At the end of the year 2007, Citycon's property portfolio was valued for the third time by Realia Management Oy, a part of the Realia Group. Realia Management Oy works in association with the world's leading provider of real estate services, the international company CB Richard Ellis. A summary of Realia Management Oy's Property Valuation Statement on the year-end status can be found at www.citycon.fi.

During the financial year, the fair value of Citycon's property portfolio rose by EUR 213.4 million as a result of development and redevelopment projects, and changes in general market conditions and the leasing business. The year saw a total value increase of EUR 220.9 million and a total value decrease of EUR 7.5 million.

The average net yield requirement defined by Realia Management Oy for Citycon's property portfolio decreased to 5.6 per cent (Q3/2007: 5.7%). The decrease in yield requirement was due mainly to new property acquisitions, which were included in the valuation for the first time during the last quarter, especially the inclusion of shopping centre Iso Omena in the property portfolio.

LEASE PORTFOLIO AND OCCUPANCY RATE

At the end of the financial year, Citycon had a total of 3,700 (3,080) leases. The average length of the lease agreements was 3.0 (2.9) years. The period-end occupancy rate for Citycon's property portfolio was 95.7 per cent (97.1%), and net rental yield was 5.8 per cent (7.1%). The decrease in net rental income yield was mainly due the changes in the property portfolio's fair value. The occupancy rate reduced slightly compared to December 2006, due to an increase in the number of premises temporarily vacated due to redevelopment projects.

The company's net rental income grew by 24.9 per cent to EUR 103.4 million. The leasable area rose by 25.0 per cent to 923,980 square metres. Net rental income for like-for-like properties grew by 6.2 per cent.

Like-for-like properties are properties held by Citycon throughout the 24-month reference period, excluding properties under development and expansion as well as lots. The majority of like-for-like properties are located in Finland. In the last quarter, properties located in Sweden were also included in like-for-like properties for the first time.

The calculation method for net yield and standing (like-for-like) investments is based on guidelines issued by the KTI Institute for Real Estate Economics and the Investment Property Databank (IPD).

ACQUISITIONS

Alongside its property portfolio's growth, Citycon has shifted its business focus towards the development of its current shopping centres. However, the company is continuously seeking new acquisition opportunities in all of its market areas.

The largest acquisition during the year, and in the company's history, was the purchase of the Iso Omena shopping centre in September for EUR 329 million. The keystone in Iso Omena's takeover and management is Citycon's own organisation operating in the shopping centre itself and responsible for its management and marketing as well as for the property's technical functioning. With an objective to tune up the centre's service offering to serve its customer base even better, the organisation also aims to support Citycon's shopping centre offering in the Espoo region, where the company already has several shopping centres. Immediately following the acquisition, Citycon began planning the shopping centre's extension and initiated the project's implementation. Iso Omena can be expanded by a total of some 7,000 square metres, and the future underground line will also create new opportunities for the development of the shopping centre.

The construction, commissioned by Citycon, of a new retail centre in Lentola, located in Kangasala in the Tampere region, Finland, was completed in the last quarter of 2007, and the centre was transferred to Citycon's ownership. The property acquisitions conducted during the year are presented in the table below. In addition, the company has carried out several share transactions in order to increase its holdings in properties partially owned by it.

DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Maintaining its properties as attractive and dynamic centres for shopping for both customers and lessees is the key element in Citycon's business. The company aims to increase the long-term cash-flow and return from its retail properties through development projects. In the short term, however, such projects may weaken returns from some properties, as part of the retail premises have to be temporarily vacated for refurbishment, and this affects the rental income.

In its development projects, Citycon pays attention to environmental issues, such as recycling and construction materials. The company's pilot projects in sustainable construction include building a new shopping centre in Liljeholmen, Stockholm, and the refurbishment and extension projects of the Rocca al Mare shopping centre in Tallinn and the Trio shopping centre in Lahti. For these projects, Citycon is seeking an international environmental rating.

The assessment applied in the pilot projects comprises a total of over 60 points, reviewing various factors such as the energy efficiency of the property, indoor air quality, the choice of materials, the utilisation of public transport and minimising the environmental impacts of construction work. On the basis of the assessment, concrete development measures will be planned in order to establish systematic sustainable construction practices.

The table below shows a list of the most significant development and redevelopment projects in progress, as decided by the Board of Directors. In addition, Citycon is planning and preparing a number of other development and redevelopment projects. More information on planned projects can be found in the management presentations available on Citycon's website at www.citycon.fi and the Annual Report, which will be published towards the end of February.

During the year, capital expenditure in the development projects amounted to EUR 39.5 million in Finland, EUR 16.8 million in Sweden and EUR 15.5 million in the Baltic Countries.

2) Estimated total need has been adjusted to EUR 60 million.

3) Citycon owns 75 per cent of Åkersberga shopping centre, and the overall project cost totals approximately EUR 40 million.

The company's most significant development project is the construction of a new shopping centre in Liljeholmen, Stockholm. The project advances within the planned budget and schedule. The related investment plan was adjusted towards the end of the year, as agreement was reached with the City of Stockholm and its transport services on arrangements allowing both the expansion of the shopping centre's lowest floor on a larger area than originally planned and its direct connection with underground and bus stations. The new shopping centre is expected to open its doors in October–November 2009, but the first agreements with new tenants have already been signed.

Åkersberga shopping centre development and redevelopment project has delayed due to changes to the plans arising from a dispute with one of the centre's tenants. Currently, an alteration of the city plan is pending and the preparation of the new development and expansion plan is underway.

The first redevelopment stage of the Trio shopping centre in downtown Lahti was completed in November as planned. After the completion of the first stage, the construction plans have been revised and, as a result, the project's total investment is estimated to increase to EUR 60 million from the original estimate of EUR 50.5 million. Following the completion of the development project, the shopping centre's sales are expected to rise from the current figure of EUR 80 million to EUR 110 million. The aim is to attract approximately 7 million customers to the shopping centre annually.

Refurbishing and extension of the Rocca al Mare shopping centre acquired in Tallinn commenced in February 2007. The first stage of the shopping centre's modernisation is planned to be completed in the spring of 2008, and the second and third stages of the development project are also underway. The completely refurbished Rocca al Mare is expected to open its doors ahead of the planned schedule, in the autumn of 2009.

The zoning appeal related to the expansion of the Lippulaiva shopping centre in Espoo was dismissed by the Supreme Administrative Court at the beginning of September, after which the project has continued according to the original plan.

Completed Development Projects

The period saw the completion of several development projects. The major ones are listed on the table below.

Actual gross expenditure Estimated by the end of total cost the period Property Location (EUR million) (EUR million) Duo Tampere, Finland 27.3 25.5 Lillinkulma Kaarina, Finland 8.2 10.9 1) Lentola Kangasala, Finland 16.6 16.2 Linjuri Salo, Finland 1.8 1.2

The most significant project completed during the year was the refurbishment and extension of the old Hervanta retail centre located in Hervanta, Tampere, into the shopping centre Duo. The Duo extension was completed in April and the entirely refurbished shopping centre was opened for the Christmas season. The leasable area of Duo is 15,500 square metres, consisting of the old Hervanta retail centre (5,200 sq.m.) and the new extension (10,300 sq.m.). Exceptionally, Duo has three large grocery stores as anchor tenants. For 2008, the targeted number of customers is 3.5 million, the sales target being EUR 55 million. The project was completed on budget and on schedule.

The new retail centre built in Lentola, Kangasala, was completed towards the end of the year and transferred, fully leased, to Citycon's ownership. Located in Kaarina, the new Lillinkulma retail centre was completed in May.

In the centre of the town of Salo, a Citycon retail property was redeveloped into a shopping centre and was opened for Christmas 2007. At Myyrmanni in Vantaa, modernisation of the food court doubled the shopping centre's existing restaurant services.

BUSINESS UNITS

Citycon's business operations are divided into three business units: Finland, Sweden and the Baltic Countries. These are further divided into business areas Retail Properties and Property Development.

Finland

Citycon is the market leader in the Finnish shopping centre business. The company's net rental income from Finnish operations grew by 10.1 per cent, to EUR 75.7 million. Net rental income from like-for-like properties rose by 6.6 per cent.

The business unit accounted for 73.2 per cent of the company's total net rental income. During the last 12 months, rolling twelve-month occupancy cost ratio for like-for-like properties was 8.6 per cent. The occupancy cost ratio is calculated as a share of net rent and potential service charges paid by a tenant to Citycon out of the tenant's sales excluding VAT. The VAT percentage is an estimate.

Property acquisitions as well as development projects in progress or completed in Finland have been covered previously in this document.

Baltic Countries

At the end of the reporting period, Citycon owned three shopping centres in the Baltic countries: Rocca al Mare and Magistral in Tallinn, Estonia and Mandarinas in Vilnius, Lithuania. Due to the limited size of the Baltic market and the limited availability of suitable properties, Citycon has been cautious with investments in the region. However, the company is continuously looking for potential investment opportunities in the region. Net rental income from Baltic operations increased by 25.4 per cent to EUR 6.0 million. The business unit accounted for 5.8 per cent of the company's total net rental income.

Property acquisitions and development projects in progress in the Baltic countries have been covered previously in this document.

TURNOVER AND PROFIT

Turnover for the period came to EUR 151.4 million (EUR 119.4 million), mainly coming from the rental income generated by Citycon's retail premises. Gross rental income accounted for 94.9 per cent (96.5%) of turnover.

Operating profit rose to EUR 300.7 million (EUR 196.5 million). Profit before taxes came to EUR 253.5 million (EUR 165.6 million) and profit after taxes was EUR 203.9 million (EUR 126.4 million). The increase in operating profit was chiefly due to changes in the fair value of the property portfolio and the operating profit generated by the acquired properties.

The effect of changes in fair value of the property portfolio, of gains on sales and of other one-off items on the profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders was EUR 164.6 million (EUR 92.5 million). Taking this effect into account, the direct result was EUR 3.3 million above the reference period level (see the Note Reconciliation between the Direct and Indirect Result). The profit growth results from property acquisitions and increased net rental income from like-forlike properties. Current taxes on direct result were lower during the period than during the comparison period in spite of profit growth. The lower current taxes resulted mostly from higher depreciation of buildings in Finland, reducing the parent company's result under the local Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS) and thereby also current taxes.

Earnings per share came to EUR 1.00 (EUR 0.76). Direct result per share (EPRA EPS) came to EUR 0.18 (EUR 0.20). Net cash flow from the operating activities per share amounted to EUR 0.20 (EUR 0.20).

HUMAN RESOURCES AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

At the end of the year, Citycon Group had a total of 102 (73) employees, of whom 71 were employed in Finland, 24 in Sweden and seven in the Baltic countries. Administrative expenses rose to EUR 16.5 million (EUR 12.9 million), including EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.9 million) in share-based, non-cash implicit expenses related to employee stock options and the company's share-based incentive scheme. The higher expenses were partly due to the expansion of the company's operations and to the cost of creating the new regional organisation.

Wages and salaries paid by the Group totalled EUR 6.6 million (EUR 4.6 million), of which those paid to the Chief Executive Officer accounted for EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3 million) and Board members EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.5 million). Wages and salaries paid by the parent company totalled EUR 5.2 million (EUR 4.2 million), of which those paid to the CEO accounted for EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3 million) and Board members EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.5 million).

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Citycon's reported gross capital expenditure in the period totalled EUR 603.9 million (EUR 436.4 million). Of this, property acquisitions accounted for EUR 531.3 million (EUR 400.9 million), property development for EUR 71.8 million (EUR 35.4 million) and other investments for EUR 0.8 million (EUR 0.2 million).

The investments were mainly financed with the directed share issue worth approximately EUR 133.8 million, with the rights issue worth EUR 99.3 million and a bridge funding facility for EUR 350 million made with a Nordic bank group.

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The period-end balance sheet total stood at EUR 2,308.6 million (EUR 1,486.4 million). Liabilities totalled EUR 1,297.7 million (EUR 906.1 million), with short-term liabilities accounting for EUR 157.8 million (EUR 134.4 million). The Group's financial position remained healthy during the period. At the end of the financial year, Citycon had a total of EUR 150 million of undrawn credit limits available, and it also had the opportunity to issue EUR 45 million in short-term loans under the company's domestic commercial paper programme.

Year-on-year interest-bearing debt increased by EUR 340.0 million to EUR 1,154.0 million (EUR 814.0 million). The fair value of Group's interest-bearing debt stood at EUR 1,171.4 million (EUR 832.5 million). Short-term interest bearing debt constitutes approximately 9 per cent of the total interest-bearing debt of the group. The undrawn credit limits available at the end of financial year are sufficient to cover maturing interest-bearing debt for the next two years.

The Group's cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 24.2 million (EUR 21.3 million). The fair value of Group interest-bearing net debt stood at EUR 1,147.3 million (EUR 811.2 million).

The year-to-date average interest rate was 4.68 per cent (4.35%) during the reporting period. The increase of the average interest rate was moderate in comparison to the rapid increase in short-term interest rates in the company's operating areas. The average loan maturity, weighted according to principals of the loans, increased to 4.7 years (4.6 years), since the short-term bridge funding was repaid using a seven year syndicated credit. The average time to fixing was 3.1 years (3.4 years). The interest rate, interest-rate swaps included, averaged 5.02 per cent on 31 December 2007.

The Group's equity ratio stood at 43.9 per cent (39.1%). Periodend gearing stood at 111.8 per cent (136.6%). The decreased gearing and the improved equity ratio during the reporting period were due to the share issues and good financial performance.

Of Citycon's period-end interest-bearing debt, 81.6 per cent (77.5%) were floating-rate loans, of which 61.1 per cent (76.2%) had been converted to fixed-rate loans by means of interest-rate swaps. Fixed-rate debt accounted for 68.3 per cent (81.6%) of the Group's period-end interest-bearing debt, interest-rate swaps included. The loan portfolio's hedging ratio has been in line with the Group's financing policy but slightly below the usual level, due to the market outlook based on a slowdown in world economic growth.

Citycon applies hedge accounting, whereby changes in the fair value of interest-rate swaps subject to hedge accounting are recognised under equity. The period-end nominal amount of interest-rate swaps totalled EUR 634.5 million (EUR 541.7 million), with hedge accounting applied to interest-rate swaps whose nominal amount totalled EUR 558.0 million (EUR 491.7 million). On 31 December 2007, the nominal amount of all the Group's derivative contracts totalled EUR 674.8 million (EUR 556.4 million), and their fair market value was EUR 9.1 million (EUR -1.8 million).

Net financial expenses increased by EUR 16.4 million, to EUR 47.3 million (EUR 30.9 million). This increase came mainly from higher interest expenses due to the higher level of interest-bearing debt, additional expenses resulting from an option on convertible bonds, higher weighted-average interest rate and from non-cash mark-tomarket loss from derivatives recognised in the income statement. The net financial expenses in the income statement include EUR 1.8 million (EUR 0.3 million) in non-cash expenses related to the option component on convertible bonds.

CAPITAL MARKET TRANSACTIONS

In 2007, Citycon obtained financing for a total of EUR 584.5 million on the stock and debt markets, and used these funds for acquiring properties and for the development of the existing ones. The conducted financing transactions and changes in the fair value of properties strengthened the company's balance sheet.

In February, Citycon arranged a directed share issue to Finnish and international institutional investors, waiving the shareholders' preemptive rights. The issue of new shares was based on the authorisation by the Extraordinary General Meeting of 26 January 2007 and was carried out in an accelerated book-building process on 12–13 February 2007. A total of 25 million new shares were subscribed for at a per-share price of EUR 5.35, resulting in net proceeds of approximately EUR 132.2 million.

In September, as part of financing the acquisition of the Iso Omena shopping centre, the Board of Directors decided on a share issue based on shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights, worth approximately EUR 99 million. The share issue was authorised by the Annual General Meeting of 13 March 2007, and a total of 27,594,782 new shares were offered for subscription at a price of EUR 3.60 per share. The subscription period began on 19 September and ended on 3 October 2007. Citycon's shareholders had the right to subscribe for one new share per seven shares held. All offered shares were subscribed for in the share offering. A total of 27,235,387 shares were subscribed for in the primary subscription, representing 98.7 per cent of the shares offered. Since the secondary subscription was oversubscribed, the share issue became fully subscribed.

The details of the directed share issue and the rights issue are presented in the stock exchange releases issued by Citycon during the financial year, and are available on the company's website at www.citycon.fi.

Related to the acquisition of the Iso Omena shopping centre, Citycon also signed a EUR 350 million unsecured credit facility agreement with an international banking group. The agreement consists of a seven year bullet term loan of EUR 200 million and a EUR 150 million five year revolving credit facility. The facility was substantially oversubscribed at syndication. The term loan facility was used to refinance a short-term credit facility drawn for the financing of the acquisition of Iso Omena. The EUR 150 million revolving credit facility will be utilised to finance the committed development pipeline and potential property acquisitions in accordance with Citycon's strategy.

Subordinated Convertible Bonds 1/2006

In July of 2006, Citycon's Board of Directors decided to offer EUR 110 million worth of subordinated convertible bonds to international institutional investors. The subordinated convertible bonds have been listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki since 22 August 2006. With a maturity of seven years (the maturity date is 2 August 2013), they bear an annual fixed interest rate of 4.5 per cent and their conversion period is from 12 September 2006 to 27 July 2013.

Waiving the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, the issue of the convertible bonds was based on the authorisation given by Citycon's Annual General Meeting on 14 March 2006. In accordance with the convertible bonds' terms and conditions, their conversion price was amended due to the rights issue conducted during the financial year 2007, to EUR 4.20. Following an amendment to the conversion price, the conversion of the convertible bonds may increase the number of

shares by a maximum of 26,190,476 shares and the company's share capital by a maximum of EUR 35,357,142.60. The detailed terms and conditions of the convertible capital loan as well as the accrued interest are presented in the Notes to the Financial Statements under 19, Interest-bearing debt. The terms and conditions and the accrued interest of Citycon's other capital loan are presented in the Note 19 as well.

NEAR-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risk management aims to ensure that Citycon meets its strategic and operational goals. The company's risk-management process involves identifying business-related risks, analysing their significance, planning and implementing risk-management measures, reporting on risks on a regular basis and controlling risks.

In the late 2006, Citycon initiated a large-scale project aiming at the adoption of a holistic Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) programme. The project implementation was completed during 2007. Accordingly, the company adopted ERM-compliant operating models and principles of risk management in preparing its 2008 annual plan. The company updates its guidelines for risk-management principles, approved by the Board of Directors, on a regular basis in response to possible changes in its business.

Citycon estimates that major near-term risks and uncertainties are associated with economic development in the company's operating regions and changes in the fair value of investment properties and interest rates. As the focus of Citycon's growth strategy is shifting from property acquisitions to development and construction of its own properties, the risks associated with project management and with increasing construction costs will be more significant. A marked increase in interest rates, materialisation of a major project risk, considerably higher construction costs, a decline in the fair value of investment properties or a sharp economic slowdown in Finland, Sweden or the Baltic countries could have an adverse effect on Citycon's business and profit performance.

The turbulence in the financial markets that began in the late summer has resulted in a clear increase in short-term interest rates and difficulties in banks' own funding activities, which may significantly affect the availability of funding for Citycon and increase future credit margins and financing costs if the uncertainty continues for a prolonged period. This could have a negative effect on the implementation of Citycon's strategy and on the company's business and profits. The company aims to hedge the risk of changes in the financial market by applying a conservative financing policy, which has thus far kept the company's financial expenses from rising significantly and the availability of financing from decreasing.

The company's risk management is covered in more detail in the Annual Report 2007, which will be published towards the end of February. Financing risks are also presented on pages 35-36 of the Financial Statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Energy-use control forms an integral part of property companies' operating-cost control and environmental responsibility. Citycon is involved in KRESS, the energy conservation agreement for the property and

construction sector, aimed at reducing properties' energy consumption. Other major environmental effects in shopping-centre management relate to land use, property maintenance and waste management.

Citycon pays attention to environmental issues in its development projects and is seeking an international environmental rating for them. Sustainable construction is covered above under Development and redevelopment projects.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Market Court's Decision on Citycon's Appeal Regarding Ratina Tender Procedure

The Finnish Market Court issued a decision on 12 October 2007 to dismiss the petition filed by Citycon Oyj and Skanska Talonrakennus Oy on 27 April 2006 in the tender procedure regarding the construction of a shopping centre and related areas in the Ratina region of the City of Tampere, Finland. Citycon did not appeal the decision. More details on this issue are provided in the stock exchange releases published by the company on 27 April 2006 and 15 October 2007 which are available at www.citycon.fi.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Citycon's Annual General Meeting (AGM), held in Helsinki on 13 March 2007, adopted the financial statements of Citycon Oyj and the Citycon Group for 2006 and discharged the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability. The AGM decided that a per-share dividend of EUR 0.14 be paid for 2006. The dividends were paid out on 23 March 2007.

Board of Directors

Under the Articles of Association, the Board consists of a minimum of five and a maximum of eight members, elected by the AGM for a term of one year at a time. A member of the Board of Directors may be discharged only upon a decision by the general meeting of shareholders.

With the number of Board members remaining at eight in 2007, the AGM re-elected the following Board members for a one-year term: Gideon Bolotowsky, Amir Gal, Raimo Korpinen, Tuomo Lähdesmäki, Carl G. Nordman, Claes Ottosson, Dor J. Segal and Thomas W. Wernink. The Board elected Thomas W. Wernink as its Chairman and Tuomo Lähdesmäki as Deputy Chairman.

Auditor

The AGM elected Ernst & Young Oy (a firm of authorised public accountants) the company's auditor for the financial year 2007, with Tuija Korpelainen (Authorised Public Accountant) acting as the chief auditor appointed by the firm.

Board Authorisations

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on issuing new shares and disposing of treasury shares through paid or free share issues. New shares can be issued and treasury shares can be transferred to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholding or through a directed share issue waiving the pre-emptive rights of shareholders, if a weighty financial reason exists for doing so. The Board can also

decide on a free share issue to the company itself. In addition, the Board was authorised to grant special rights referred to in Section 1 of Chapter 10 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, entitling their holders to receive, against payment, new shares in the company or treasury shares. The combined number of new shares to be issued and treasury shares to be transferred, including the shares granted on the basis of the special rights, may not exceed 100 million. This authorisation is valid for five years from the date of the AGM.

The Board exercised this authorisation on 10 September 2007, when it decided on a share issue based on the shareholders' preemptive subscription rights. A maximum of 27,594,782 shares were offered for subscription by shareholders. As a result of this, the number of shares that can be issued or disposed of on the basis of the authorisation now totals 72,405,218.

At the end of the reporting period, the Board had no other authorisations.

Alteration of the Articles of Association

Under Citycon's Articles of Association, a decision on their alteration can only be made by a shareholders' meeting with a 2/3 majority vote.

The AGM approved the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, resulting mainly from the new Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The amended Articles of Association were registered in the Trade Register on 30 March 2007. The most significant amendments included deleting provisions governing the company's minimum and maximum share capital and the share's nominal value.

EVENTS AFTER THE FINANCIAL YEAR

In connection with the Lippulaiva shopping centre's extension, Citycon acquired all shares in MREC Kiinteistö Oy Majakka and, at the same time, divested its entire holding in MREC Kiinteistö Oy Ulappatori. Kiinteistö Oy Majakka owns undeveloped land in the surroundings of Lippulaiva, in the area planned for the shopping centre's extension in Espoo, Finland.

Since Citycon continues to have a right of possession into the leasable areas of MREC Kiinteistö Oy Ulappatori, the divestment of holding in MREC Kiinteistö Oy Ulappatori is not treated as a disposal of investment property in Citycon's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The right of possession terminates when the extension construction is completed or in 2011 at the latest.

Citycon signed an agreement on 12 February for the sale of part of shopping centre Iso Omena to an affiliate of GIC Real Estate, the property investment arm of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. Upon closing of the agreement, Citycon will own 60 per cent of the shopping centre and GIC Real Estate, 40 per cent. The parties have agreed that Citycon will continue to be responsible for the business and management of the shopping centre on customary terms. The agreed debt-free purchase price, EUR 131.6 million, is equivalent to 40 per cent of the original acquisition price of EUR 329 million paid by Citycon.

BOARD PROPOSAL FOR PROFIT DISTRIBUTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS FROM THE INVESTED UNRESTRICTED EQUITY FUND

The parent company's distributable funds amount to EUR 12.6 million, of which profit for the period accounts for EUR 8.4 million. On the date of publication of the Financial Statements, funds in the parent company's invested unrestricted equity fund total EUR 201.1 million.

On the basis of the Financial Statements to be adopted for the financial year ending on 31 December 2007, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting of 13 March 2008 that a per-share dividend of EUR 0.04 be paid out from the retained earnings, corresponding to a total of EUR 8.8 million, and that EUR 0.10 per share be returned from the invested unrestricted equity fund, corresponding to a total of EUR 22.1 million. The Board of Directors proposes that the record date for dividend payment and equity return be 18 March 2008 and that the dividend and equity return be paid on 2 April 2008.

It is the Board of Directors' opinion that the proposed profit distribution and return of equity do not risk the company's solvency.

OUTLOOK

Citycon's focus will continue to be on increasing net operating income and cash flow. The company expects the development and redevelopment projects to continue to play a central role in its business in 2008. The company will remain active in developing its shopping centres while also seeking acquisition opportunities to implement its expansion strategy. Citycon is also considering to divest non-core properties.

The company expects its net rental income and direct operating profit excluding fair value changes to increase in 2008. The estimate is based on the property portfolio's growth, including the acquisition of Iso Omena shopping centre in September 2007, on investments in shopping-centre management as well as on expansion and redevelopment projects coming on line.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basic company data

As a real estate company specialising in retail properties, Citycon operates largely in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and Finland's major regional centres as well as in Sweden and the Baltic Countries. Citycon is a Finnish, public limited company established under Finnish law and domiciled in Helsinki, the address of its registered office being Pohjoisesplanadi 35 AB, FI-00100 Helsinki. The Board of Directors approved the financial statements on 14 February 2008.

Basis of preparation

Citycon has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and applied the IFRS/IAS standards, effective as of 31 December 2007, which refer to the approved applicable standards and their interpretations under European Union Regulation No. 1606/2002. Notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in compliance with Finnish accounting legislation and Community legislation. In addition, the best practices policy recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) have been applied in preparing Citycon's financial statements. EPRA is the representative body of the publicly traded real estate sector in Europe, publishing recommendations on the presentation of financial information for the sector.

Citycon has used IFRS as the primary basis of its financial statements preparation from the beginning of 2005. Availablefor-sale financial assets, derivative contracts and investment properties, are measured at fair value following their initial recognition. In other respects, the consolidated financial statements are prepared at historical cost. The financial statements are shown in millions of euros.

Preparing the financial statements under IFRS requires that the company's management make certain accounting estimates and assumptions, which have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, as well as notes to the accounts. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making management judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised for the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The section 'Management's judgement in applying the most significant accounting policies and other key assumptions about future risks and uncertainties' below provides a more detailed description of the factors underlying judgements and assumptions.

Changes in IFRS and accounting policies

During the financial year 2007, Citycon adopted the following new and revised IFRS rules. Their adoption had no effect on Citycon's financial results and financial position but has required the presentation of new notes to the financial statements.

  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
  • Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires information on the significance of financial instruments for an entity's financial position and performance, and on the nature and extent of exposure to risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages these risks. Based on Citycon's assessment of the IFRS 7 requirements, the company has supplemented Note 19 Interest-bearing liabilities and Note 20 Financial instruments with new information.

Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Capital Disclosures requires that the company disclose information related to its capital management in the notes to the financial statements. This new information can be found in Note 20 Financial instruments – Capital management.

Citycon did not apply the new IFRS 8 Operating Segments in its consolidated financial statements for 2007. This standard must be applied for financial years starting on 1 January 2009.

On 1 January 2007, Citycon changed its accounting policies related to the accounting treatment of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs by switching over to the allowed alternative treatment, i.e. borrowing costs, such as interest expenses and management fees, are capitalised at cost of properties under construction. The adoption of this accounting treatment had no material effect on the financial statements for 2006.

Group accounting

The consolidated financial statements include Citycon Oyj and its subsidiaries, as well as holdings in its associated and jointventure companies.

Subsidiaries refer to companies in which the Group holds a controlling interest. This controlling interest implies that the Group has the power to govern the entity's financial and operating policies for the purpose of profiting from its operations. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention under which the historical cost of subsidiary shares in the parent company's non-current assets has been eliminated against the shareholders' equity of the subsidiary on the date of the subsidiary's acquisition. The portion of the acquired company's net assets exceeding their carrying amounts on the acquisition date has primarily been allocated to land and buildings up to their fair value. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group until the date on which said control ceases.

Intra-Group transactions and profit allocation are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Mutual real estate companies refer to jointly controlled assets included in the consolidated financial statements using proportionate consolidation, as required by IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures, whereby the Group's share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are included in the consolidated financial statements. The proportionate consolidation method applies to all joint ventures of this kind, regardless of the Group's holding in the joint venture.

Citycon has no associated companies as referred to in IFRS since all mutual real estate companies are stated as jointly controlled assets, as described above.

Property acquisition is treated as such when the Group actually acquires a holding in a property. This acquisition does not generate goodwill, but the entire acquisition cost is allocated to land, buildings and other assets and liabilities.

If the property is included in the acquired business, IFRS 3 Business Combinations will apply, whereby the acquisition cost is allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities at their fair value. Goodwill is the residual stemming from the fair value of the acquired net assets exceeding that of the consideration given.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the exchange rate quoted on the transaction date. Any exchange rate differences resulting from currency translation are entered under financial expenses and income in the income statement.

Monetary receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are measured at the exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and measured at fair value are translated into euros using the exchange rates quoted on the valuation date, while other non-monetary items are measured at the exchange rate quoted on the transaction date.

Foreign subsidiaries' income statements have been translated into euros using average exchange rates quoted for the financial period and balance sheets using the exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. Any resulting exchange rate difference is recognised as a translation difference under shareholders' equity. Translation differences resulting from the elimination of the historical cost of foreign subsidiaries and items included in shareholders' equity following their acquisitions are recognised under shareholders' equity.

Investment property

Investment property refers to land or a building, or part of a building, held to earn rental income or capital appreciation, or both. Under IAS 40, investment property is measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair values being included in the income statement.

The investment properties are measured initially at cost including transaction costs such as consultant fees and transfer taxes. After their initial measurement the investment properties are subject to a fair value model valuation, which is conducted by an external appraiser for the first time at the end of the quarter following the acquisition.

Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arms' length transaction. An investment property's fair value reflects the actual market position and circumstances on the balance-sheet date, best manifested in prices paid for properties on the active market on the review date, the location and condition of these properties corresponding to those of the property under review while applying similar lease or other contracts.

Using International Valuation Standards (IVS), an external professional appraiser conducts the valuation of the company's property at least once a year, or at more regular intervals due to any major changes in the market. In the event of no major market changes, the company updates these valuations using the basic quarterly data and the market variables used by the external appraiser for the latest valuation.

A ten-year cash flow analysis based on the net rental income is used to determine the fair value of investment properties. The basic cash flow is determined by the company's lease agreements valid at the valuation date. Upon lease expiry, the market rent assessed by an external appraiser is used to replace the contract rent. Gross rental income less operating expenses and investments equals cash flow, which is then discounted at the propertyspecific yield requirements. Yield requirements are determined for each property in view of property-specific and market risks. The total value of the property portfolio is calculated as the sum of the individual properties based on the cash- flow method.

Citycon redevelops its investment properties. When Citycon begins to redevelop its existing investment property, the property remains as an investment property, which is measured based on a fair value model in accordance with IAS 40. The significant extension projects for existing investment properties are exceptions and are treated in accordance with the IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment standard until the project is completed.

The fair value of development projects is determined under IAS 40 and Citycon uses a special project model to measure the fair value of its development projects. This project model is a cash flow analysis, which takes account of capital expenditure on the development project and the property's future cash flows according

to the development project's schedule. Citycon considers using the model on a case-by-case basis. As a rule, Citycon makes use of the model as soon as the Board of Directors has made a positive investment decision on the project and the external appraiser considers that all information required for a reliable valuation is available.

All potential development projects have been left out of the valuation conducted by the external appraiser. The valuation of properties with potential development projects is based on the situation and the estimated rental value on the valuation date. All undeveloped lots, or those under development, are evaluated based on their zoning on the valuation date. The value in each case was set based on market observations.

The fair value of Citycon's investment properties in the balance sheet equals the property portfolio's total value determined by the external appraiser, capital expenditure on development

projects that have not been taken into account by the external appraiser, as well as the value of new properties acquired during the reporting quarter.

Gains and losses resulting from fair-value changes for investment properties are stated as separate items in the income statement. Investment property is derecognised when it is disposed of or withdrawn from use permanently and its disposal has no future economic value.

The IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment standard is applied until the completion of investment properties under construction and built for future use as investment properties. After their completion, these properties are transferred to the investment property at cost, which is the accumulated capital expenditure up to the completion date. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40.

Summary of accounting principles for the treatment of investment properties in Citycon's financial statements:

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at historical cost less straight-line depreciation and any impairment losses. These assets consist mainly of office machinery and equipment and other tangible assets such as artworks. Machines and equipment leased under finance leases are also recognised within property, plant and equipment.

PPEs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's expected useful economic life. The asset's useful economic life and estimated residual values are reviewed on an annual basis, and if any major differences occur between the values, the depreciation plan will be revised to correspond to these new values. The following depreciation periods apply:

  • Machinery and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years.
  • Other PPEs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over three to ten years.
  • This also applies to tangible assets leased under finance lease. Such an asset is depreciated over its useful economic life or within the shorter lease term.

Capital gains or losses on the sale of PPEs are recognised in the income statement.

Intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognised in the balance sheet, provided its historical cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that its expected economic benefits flow to the company.

Intangible assets are measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses.

These assets include computer software amortised on a straight-line basis over five years.

Impairment

On each balance-sheet date property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are assessed to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication of an impaired asset exists, the asset's recoverable amount must be calculated. Should the asset's carrying amount exceed its recoverable amount, it is impaired, and the resulting impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets and liabilities

Recognition and measurement

As required by IAS 39, financial assets are classified into the following categories for measurement purposes: originated loans and other receivables not held for trading, available-for-sale assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of a financial asset is determined by the purpose for which the asset is purchased at the time of its purchase.

Originated loans and other receivables not held for trading include financial assets which the company has created by providing money, goods or services directly to the debtor. Initially recognised at cost, these assets under short-term and long-term financial assets are carried at amortised cost. Their balance sheet value is impaired by the amount of any credit loss.

Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period are classified as available-for-sale assets, which can be sold at the time deemed appropriate. These financial assets are carried at fair value subsequent to their initial recognition. Changes in their fair value are recognised in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity and in the income statement when the asset is disposed of or it has lost its value to the extent that an impairment loss must be recognised for the asset.

Citycon concludes derivative contracts for hedging purposes only. Derivative contracts not fulfilling the criteria set for hedge accounting or for which Citycon has decided not to apply hedge accounting, are classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or as other liabilities. Non-derivative debt contracts concluded for purposes other than trading are classified as other financial liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet on the basis of the settlement date. They are initially measured at cost, and are recognised at amortised cost using the effective yield method.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits withdrawable on call, and other short-term, highly liquid investments. A maximum maturity of three months from the date of acquisition applies to cash and cash equivalents.

Derivative contracts and hedge accounting

Derivatives are initially measured at cost (if available) and remeasured at fair value on each balance sheet date.

Citycon uses interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate cash flow risk. These interest rate swaps hedge against volatility in future interest payment cash flows (cash flow hedging) resulting from interest rate fluctuations, and the resulting profit fluctuations. Citycon applies hedge accounting to the majority of its interest rate swaps, under IAS 39, according to which the amount of financial instruments' fair value change stemming from effective hedging is recognised in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity, whereas the amount stemming from ineffective hedging is recognised in the income statement. The amount in the fair value reserve is recognised in the income statement during the period when the cash flow from the hedged item is realised and affects earnings. If the criteria for hedge accounting are not met, changes in fair value are recognised in full through profit or loss.

Interest payments based on interest rate swaps are included in interest expenses. Changes in fair value through profit or loss are recognised as financial expenses or income. The fair value of interest rate swaps is shown in current or non-current receivables or short-term or long-term liabilities in the balance sheet. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.

The company uses foreign exchange derivatives to hedge against exchange rate risk relating to financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Fair value changes related to foreign exchange derivatives are recognised in the income statement, since fair value changes related to financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are also recognised therein.

Embedded derivatives

Under IAS 39, an embedded derivative – a derivative instrument included in another contract, or a host contract, whose financial characteristics are not closely related to those of its host contract – must be separated from the host contract under certain circumstances, accounted for at fair value and changes in its fair value must be recognised in the income statement. The Group has no embedded derivatives.

Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is impaired if its carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset measured at amortised cost is impaired, this resulting impairment loss must be recognised in the income statement. If the amount of impairment loss decreases during

a subsequent financial period and this fall can be regarded as relating to an event after the date of impairment recognition, the asset's impairment will be reversed.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of this obligation can be made.

Long-term provisions shown in the financial statements are based on net present values.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs, such as interest expenses and arrangement fees, arising from the construction of new buildings or extensions and treated under IAS 16 are capitalised at the cost of property under construction. Capitalisation commences when the construction of a new building or extension begins and ceases once the building is ready for lease. Capitalisable borrowing costs include costs of funds borrowed for a construction project or costs attributable to a construction project multiplied by the capitalisation rate. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average cost of Citycon's borrowings for the financial year.

Loan-related transaction expenses clearly associated with a specific loan are included in the loan's cost on an accrual basis and recognised as interest expenses using the effective interest method.

Taxes

Income taxes include taxes based on taxable profit for the financial period, adjustments for previous periods' taxes and changes in deferred taxes. Tax based on taxable income for the period is calculated applying the tax legislation valid in each country.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. A major temporary difference may arise between the fair value and taxable value of investment properties. In such a case, taxes are calculated on the difference between property's fair value and the debt-free acquisition cost of shares in the mutual real estate company in question, or the nondepreciated residual value of the directly owned property.

It is the company's policy to realise its shareholding in property companies by selling the shares it holds. For foreign properties, such deferred taxes are not recognised because property disposal does not lead to tax implications, due to the ownership structure.

No deferred tax on subsidiaries' retained earnings is recognised to the extent that the difference is unlikely to be discharged in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it appears probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

If the recognition of deferred taxes is attributable to an item recognised in shareholders' equity, such as a change in the fair value of a derivative instrument used for hedging purposes, deferred taxes will also be recognised in shareholders' equity.

The tax rate enacted by the balance sheet date is used to determine deferred tax.

Income recognition

Citycon's income consists mainly of rental income from investment properties. Rental income is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Leases

Leases based on Citycon as a lessor renting out investment properties are not classified as finance leases.

Leases, for which Citycon acts as a lessee, are classified as finance leases and recognised as assets and liabilities if the risks and rewards related to the property have been passed on to the company. Leases are classified at their inception and recognised at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the fair value of the asset under PPE and financial liabilities. PPE is depreciated over its useful economic life or during the lease term. Lease payments in the income statement are recognised as interest or the repayment of financial liabilities.

Leases are classified as operating leases if substantially all of the risks and rewards inherent in holding such leased assets have not been transferred to the lessee.

Lease incentives

Citycon mainly uses alteration work on leased premises as lease incentives. On behalf of the lessee, Citycon performs alteration work on premises rented by the lessee and charges the lessee for the resulting costs in terms of a rent increase. The Group recognises the alteration-related rent increase as rental income over the lease term. Rent increase and the expense arising from the alteration work are taken into account when measuring the fair value of investment property.

Citycon has no significant leases that would involve rent-free periods or rent reductions.

Pensions

The Group's employee pension cover is based on statutory pension insurance. Pension schemes are classified into two categories: defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Where contributions under defined contribution plans are recognised in the income statement for the period during which such contributions are made, defined benefit pension plans are based on actuarial calculations. Currently, Citycon has no defined benefit pension plan in place.

Share-based payment

Citycon has applied IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to its stock options granted after 7 November 2002 and not vested before 1 January 2005, and to the long-term share-based incentive plan decided by the Board of Directors on 26 April 2007. Such stock options and share-based incentive plans are measured at fair value on the grant date and expensed over their vesting period. Stock options granted before the above date have not been expensed.

Citycon uses the Black & Scholes option-pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options.

MANAGEMENT'S JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER KEY AS-SUMPTIONS ABOUT FUTURE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Fair value of investment properties

Measuring the fair value of investment property forms one of the most significant accounting policy aspects, which involves the management's judgement and assumptions about future uncertainties. Market rents, occupancy rate, operating expenses and yield requirement form the key variables used in the investment property's fair-value measurement, whose measurement involves the management's judgement and assumptions.

Citycon uses a net rental income based cash flow analysis to measure the fair value of its investment properties. Net rental income and the yield requirement of each property must be defined for the cash flow analysis. Net rental income equals gross rental income less operating expenses. The yield requirement is used for discounting the yearly net rental income less investments, to which the discounted residual value and other assets, such as unused building rights and lots, are added to obtain the fair value of investment property. The key parameters of the cash flow analysis are the following items:

  • Market rents, which affect rental income in the cash flow analysis, are determined by market supply and demand. The external appraiser defines the market rents for each property.
  • The occupancy rate stands for that part of the leasable space (Gross Leasable Area, GLA) that is leased. The occupancy rate is determined by the lease agreements valid on the valuation date. Upon a lease expiry, measuring the occupancy rate involves the management's assumptions. The occupancy rate affects the yearly rental income.
  • Operating expenses comprise costs resulting from the property's management, maintenance, heating, electricity, water supply etc. Operating expenses are determined based on the previous year's operating expenses and the benchmark data collected by the external appraiser.
  • The yield requirement comprises risk-free interest as well as property-specific and market risk. The property-specific risk is defined by Citycon and this definition involves the management's judgement and assumptions. Market risks are defined by an external appraiser. Yield requirement is used as the discount rate in the cash flow analysis. When yield requirement decreases, the fair value of investment properties increases.

Other variables involving judgment and assumptions are the current leases' extension probability, the duration of vacant areas, investments, the inflation rate and the rental growth assumptions.

Citycon uses a special project model to measure the fair value of its development projects. This project model is a cash flow analysis, which takes account of capital expenditure on the development project and the property's future cash flows according to the development project's schedule. Although the model applies principles similar to those used in the cash flow analysis measuring the investment property's fair value, it is better suited to modelling changes, in many cases significant ones, in premises and contracts during the development project. In the project model, the property can be divided into different parts and the current leases, future leases, project schedules and capital expenditure can be defined for each of these parts, which may comprise the various floors, areas or a larger space within the building. In addition, risks associated with the development project and the property's future use can be defined for the yield requirement for development projects. Following this, each part is subject to the cash flow analysis and the parts' combined cash flow constitutes the development project's fair value.

The use of a special project model in the valuation of development projects requires the management's judgement or assumptions about future investments, rental agreements and the project's timetable.

Deferred tax assets

Judgement and assumptions are also included in the recognition of deferred tax assets with respect to estimates of probable disposable income subject to tax.

Business acquisitions and asset acquisitions

Citycon purchases investment properties through asset acquisitions and business acquisitions. It applies IAS 40 Investment Property to the accounting treatment of asset acquisitions and IFRS 3 Business Combinations to the accounting treatment of business acquisitions. Citycon's management exercises judgement in assessing whether the purchase of an investment property or an investment property portfolio is classified as an asset acquisition or business acquisition. Criteria for business acquisitions identified by Citycon include acquired access to new market areas, a new business line, brand or another intangible asset related to customer relationships etc. However, this is not an exhaustive list, since Citycon's management assesses each investment property purchase on a case-by-case basis.

3. RECONCILIATION BETWEEN DIRECT AND INDIRECT RESULT

Due to the nature of Citycon's business and the requirement to apply IFRS, the consolidated income statement includes a large number of items related to non-operating activities. In addition to the consolidated income statement under IFRS, Citycon also presents its profit for the period with direct result and indirect result separately specified, in an attempt to enhance the transparency of its operations and to facilitate comparability of financial years. Direct result describes the profitability of the Group's operations during the financial year disregarding the effects of fair value changes, gains or losses on sales and other extraordinary items. Earnings per share calculated based on direct result corresponds to the earnings per share definition recommended by EPRA.

The diluted earnings per share is calculated adjusting the weighted average number of shares to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group has currently two categories of dilutive shares in place: convertible capital loan and stock options.

  • Stock options have dilutive potential when the subscription price of shares based on the stock options is lower than the share's fair value. The dilutive potential of stock options is calculated by taking into account the total number of shares that can be subscribed based on stock options, less the number of shares that group could acquire by using the assets received from the exercise of the stock options. - The holder of the convertible loan has the right during 12 September 2006 - 27 July 2013 to convert the loan nominal amount into shares of the company. Based on the conversion price applicable on the balance sheet date, the dilution from full conversion of the loan nominal is approximately 26.2 million shares. Convertible capital loan have dilutive potential from the date of issue i.e. 2 August 2006. Expenses arising from the convertible loan are adjusted with the tax effect deduction when calculating the dilution effect.

Under IAS 40 Investment Property -standard, Citycon measures its investment properties at fair value. An external professional appraiser has conducted the valuation of the company's properties with a net rental income based cash flow analysis. Market rents, occupancy rate, operating expenses and yield requirement form the key variables used in the cash flow analysis. The impact of key variables on the fair value of properties have been tested with the sensitivity analysis. Analysis indicates that the market value is most sensitive to the yield requirement and gross income levels. A 10 percent decrease in the yield requirement results in an approximately 11 percent increase in total value. Correspondingly, a 10% increase in gross income increases the value by approximately 14 percent. The segments' yield requirements and market rents used by the external appraiser in the cash flow analysis were as follows at 31 December 2007 and at 31 December 2006:

Yield
requirement (%)
Market rents
(EUR/sq.m.)

Realia Management Oy within Realia Group conducted the valuation of Citycon's properties for the Annual Report 2007 and the Q2 and Q3/2007 Interim Reports while Aberdeen Property Investors Finland Oy did the same for the Q1/2007 Interim Report. The resulting fixed fees based on the 2007 valuations total EUR 0.2 million.

The fair value of Citycon's investment properties in the balance sheet equals the property portfolio's total value determined by the external appraiser, capital expenditure on development projects that haven't been taken into account by the external appraiser as well as the value of new properties acquired during the reporting quarter. The reconciliation between the fair value determined by the external appraiser and the fair value of investment properties in Citycon's balance sheet is as follows:

Value determined by the external
appraiser as at Dec. 31 2,194.8 1,430.0

13. DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY

When Citycon redevelops its existing investment properties, the properties remain as the investment properties in the balance sheet, and they are measured based on fair value model in accordance with IAS 40. The significant development projects, in which a new building or significant extension is constructed, are exceptions and they are treated in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment standard. The significant extension projects are presented as development properties separately from the property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet based on the recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA). As at 31 December 2007, the development properties consisted of the capital expenditure relating to extension projects in Rocca al Mare, Åkersberga and Liljeholmen shopping centres.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at cost in the balance sheet and subsequently re-measured at their fair value on each balance-sheet date. The fair value of interest-rate swaps is calculated using the present value of estimated future cash flows. The fair value of a forward agreement is based on the difference between the exchange rate of the agreement and the prevailing exchange rate fixing on each balance-sheet date. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to settle the related agreements.

Fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments are determined by the counterparty banks using customary valuation techniques used by market participants in the OTC derivative market. The fair value of foreign exchange derivative contracts are based on quoted market prices.

Loans from financial institutions

Citycon's loans from financial institutions are floating rate loans which have fair value equal to the nominal amount of the loan. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount is the unamortized capitalized arrangement fees of the loans.

Convertible capital loan 1/2006

Convertible capital loan 1/2006 is a fixed rate loan which has fair value equal to the nominal amount of the loan. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount is the unamortized capitalized arrangement fees of the loan together with the market value of the option component at issue date. When calculating the NNNAV in accordance with EPRA's recommendations the Subordinated capital loan 1/2005 and Convertible capital loan 1/2006 have been

market-to-market using valuation from the secondary market on the balance sheet date. The secondary market valuation for Subordinated capital loan 1/2005 was 95.39 per cent and for Convertible capital loan 1/2006 108.20 per cent as of 31 December 2007.

Subordinated capital loan 1/2005

Subordinated capital loan 1/2005 is a fixed rate loan which has fair value equal to the nominal amount of the loan. The carrying amount of the loan equals the fair value.

Finance lease liabilities

The fair value of finance leases is based on discounted future cash flows. The discount rate used corresponds to that applied to similar leases.

Cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade and other receivables, trade payables and other payables

Due to their short maturity, the fair value of trade payables and receivables and other short-term receivables and payables is regarded as corresponding to their original carrying amount.

Interest on floating-rate loans is mainly fixed every six months and the interest-rate swaps have been concluded for the same days to ensure the optimum interest cash flow hedging.

Citycon uses interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate cash flow risk. The Group applies hedge accounting to majority of its interest rate swaps, under IAS 39, according to which the amount of financial instruments' fair value change stemming from effective hedging is recognised in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity.

The fair value of derivative financial instrument represent the market value of the instrument with prices prevailing on the balance sheet date. Derivative financial instruments are used in hedging the interest rate risk of the interest bearing liabilities and foreign currency risk.

The fair values include foreign exchange gain of EUR 1.0 million (EUR -1.9 million) which is recognized in income statement.

Hedge accounting is applied for interest rates swaps which have nominal amount of EUR 558.0 million (EUR 491.7 million). The fair value gain recognized in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity taking account the tax effect totals EUR 4.9 million (EUR -1.3 million).

The average fixed interest rate of the interest rate swaps as at December 31, 2007 was 4.38% (4.16%).

Citycon's cash flow hedges consist of interest rate and cross-currency swaps which are used to protect against exposure of changes in Citycon's interest expense cash outflow for variable rate interest bearing debt. Hedged instruments consist of long term floating rate debt and short term floating rate debt which is expected to be refinanced at maturity on similar terms.

The critical terms of the interest rate derivatives have been negotiated to match the respective terms of the variable rate loans.

The cash flow from all hedged liabilities over time is the basis for determining the gain and loss on the effective portions of derivatives designed as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses are initially recognized in equity and are transferred to the income statement when the forecast cash flows affect the income statement.

At 31 December 2007, interest rate derivatives assigned as cash flow hedges were assessed to be highly effective and the fair values recognized in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity taking account the tax effect totals EUR 4.9 million. At 31 December 2006, interest rate derivatives assigned as cash flow hedges were assessed to be highly effective and the fair values recognized in the fair value reserve under shareholders' equity taking account the tax effect totals EUR -1.3 million.

C) Risk management

Objectives

Citycon's risk management process involves identifying, analysing, measuring, mitigating and controlling business-related risks. The Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management guidelines specifying risk management principles, which is subject to updating in order to take into account changes in the business operations. During the ERM process for each business unit a risk management policy has been prepared which outlines objectives, responsibilities and development plans within the unit.

Citycon has during 2007 developed risk management functions and has implemented Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework within the Citycon group. The purpose of the risk management is to ensure that Citycon will reach its business targets and identify the key risks which may threaten the ability to meet the targets before they realize. Part of ERM process includes identification of existing and planning of new risk mitigation plans in the event that current action are not deemed sufficient for each risk identified. The objective of

the mitigation plans is to decrease the likelihood of risk realizing and mitigate the negative effects from realized risks.

Process

Risk management under ERM in Citycon comprises of three main elements, namely 1) risk management implemented into the main business processes 2) risk reporting and 3) continuous improvement of risk management.

Citycon has analyzed and identified five main business processes during the implementation of ERM which are property acquisitions, takeover of acquired properties, shopping centre management, property development and planning and control. Each main process has been carefully analyzed from a risk management angle and a detailed process description has been prepared for each process determining the target state of the process after implementation of improvement measures and taken into account risk management requirements. The implementation of these common best practices into the daily operations at Citycon is currently under way and an essential part of the daily risk management throughout the whole organization is to adhere to these practices.

Risk reporting process gathers analytical data on risks and the respective mitigation plans which are used when risks are reported to the Board of Directors. During the risk reporting period each business unit independently defines their near term targets, risks threatening these targets and mitigation plans which relate to the risks. In order to evaluate the importance of each risk, an estimate on the loss associated with the risk is determined together with probability of risk realization and effectiveness of each mitigation plan on the loss and/or probability. Additional feature of the risk reporting is for each business unit to report the potentially realized risks during the previous year and mitigation plans which have been put into effect during the period. Risk data is inputted into one group wide risk register from which the business unit risk reports are prepared to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. In addition, from the risk register also a consolidated Citycon Group risk report and analysis is prepared which aims to recognize the group level risk concentrations cross the business units. Risk reports to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee are prepared in conjunction with budgeting during Autumn and strategy review during Spring. Risk management and business unit risk reports are additionally discussed four times a year in Corporate Management Committee.

Citycon aims to a continuous evaluate and develop its ERM process and risk management in general. Four times a year a risk management supervisory group meets and its tasks include the acceptance of the risk reports, evaluate annually the sufficiency of the risk management measures taken in the light of the identified risks, monitor the progress in implementation of the mitigation plans and annually asses the adequacy of the risk management capabilities of Citycon.

Organization

Each business unit has a dedicated person responsible for the ERM process who is in charge of the reporting the risks and mitigation plans and follow-up on the implementation of the plans. Group Treasurer prepares the risk report to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Members of the risk management supervisory group are CEO, CFO, Group Treasurer and business unit directors or the dedicated risk management person from each business unit.

Financial risk management

Financial risks have been defined to be business critical risks for Citycon. Financial risk of Citycon arises from financial instruments which are mainly used to raise financing for operations. The group also has interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives which are used in used to manage the interest rate and currency risks arising from the operations and financing sources. The Board of Directors has approved an interest rate risk management policy which defines the objectives and risk management indicators applicable for interest rate risk management. The execution of interest rate risk management is done by the Group Treasurer under the supervision of the CFO. Group Treasurer reports the compliance with the objectives in conjunction with the interim and annual report to the Board of Directors and CFO.

Citycon's identified, key financial risks include interest rate risk related to cash flow, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. These risks are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

Citycon's key financial risk is the interest rate risk of its interest bearing liabilities where the changes in money market interest rates lead to fluctuations in future interest cash flows on floating rate borrowings. Interest rate risk management aims to reduce or eliminate the adverse effect of interest rate fluctuations on the company's profit and cash flow. The company aims to a loan portfolio which has a right mix between fixed and variable rate debts. Under the company's interest rate risk management policy, the target debt portfolio is such where a minimum of 70 and a maximum of 90 per cent of the interest bearing liabilities are based on fixed interest rates. The company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risks and to convert floating rate loans into fixed rate loans. Portion of the hedges can also be done using inflation derivatives. The interest sensitivity of Citycon's loan portfolio at the end of 2007 is depicted by the fact that a one-percentage point rise in money market interest rates would increase its interest expenses for 2007 by EUR 2.9 million, while a fall of one-percentage point in money market interest rates would decrease them by EUR 2.9 million in 2007.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table shows the sensitivity to a 100 basis point change in short term interest rates assuming all other variables constant. The impact is shown as a change in interest expenses resulting from changes in interest rate which relate to floating rate debt.

EUR million 2007 2006

Swedish krona 1.5 0.9
Other currencies 0.1 0.4
Total 2.9 1.2

Liquidity risk

Given that Citycon's strategy is to expand in Finland, the Baltic countries and Sweden, the company will need both equity capital and borrowings. The minimum shareholders' equity is determined by the

company's loan covenants. The Group uses cash-flow forecasts to continuously assess and monitor financing required for its business. The goal is to arrange financing on a long term basis and avoid large concentration of due dates of the loan agreements. Citycon aims to guarantee the availability and flexibility of financing through unused credit limits and by using several banks and financing methods as sources of finance. On 31 December 2007, unused credit limits amounted to EUR 150 million and company had further EUR 45 million available under its commercial paper programme. Table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Credit risk

The Group's most significant credit-risk concentration relates to receivables from Kesko Group. Citycon controls its receivables within the framework of the given credit limits and does not currently identify any major credit risk associated with them. Credit-risk management caters for tenant-risk management, which is aimed at minimising the adverse effect of any unexpected changes in the customers' financial standing on Citycon's business and financial results. Customer-risk management focuses on the knowledge of the customers' business and active monitoring of customer data. Citycon's lease agreements include lease deposit provisions used to contribute to managing customers risks.

The maximum exposure from trade receivables is the carrying amount as disclosed in Note 16.

Credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative agreements relate to a default of the counterparty with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Exchange rate risk

Citycon's entry into counties outside the euro-zone exposes the company to exchange rate risk. Exchange rate risk stems from transaction risks resulting from the conversion of foreign currency denominated transactions into local currency, on the one hand, and from translation risks in the balance sheet associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries. The company hedges against exchange rate risk in the balance sheet by aiming to finance its foreign investments mainly in the local currency. The company uses foreign exchange derivatives to manage the transaction risk on committed transactions. Foreign exchange derivatives are also used to hedge a possible mismatch

between assets and liabilities denominated in the same currency in the balance sheet. Currently the company's exchange rate risk relates mainly to fluctuations in the euro/ Swedish krona exchange rate.

Foreign exchange sensitivity

The following table shows the sensitivity in income statement to a five percent change in foreign exchange rates assuming all other variables constant. The impact is attributable to a change in fair value of financial instruments given the assumed change in foreign exchange rates.

Other currencies comprise of currencies in Estonia and Lithuania. The foreign exchange rate in these countries is tied to euro with a fixed peg.

Risks associated with the retail properties' value development

A number of factors contribute to the value of retail properties, such as national and local economic development, investment demand created by property investors, and interest rates. While changes in investment properties' fair value have an effect on the company's profit for the financial year, they do not have an immediate impact on cash flow.

The yield requirement, market rents, the occupancy rate and operating expenses form the key variables used in an investment property's fair-value measurement, based on a ten-year cash-flow analysis. Sensitivity to change in the properties' fair value, or the risk associated with fair value, can be tested by altering the above key parameters. The sensitivity analysis below uses the investment properties' fair value of EUR 2,194.8 million defined by the external appraiser at 31 December 2007 as the starting value. The reconciliation between the fair value used by the external appraiser and Citycon Oyj is disclosed in note 12 Investment property. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the market value is most sensitive to the yield requirement and gross income levels. A 10 percent decrease in the yield requirement results in an approximately 11 percent increase in total value. Correspondingly, a 10% increase in gross income increases the value by approximately 14 percent. The value is not as sensitive to changes in longterm vacancy or expenses.

Vacancy 2,180.5 2,187.7 2,194.8 2,201.9 2,209.0

D) Capital management

The objective of the company's capital management is to support the growth strategy, maximise shareholder value, comply with loan agreement provisions and ensure the company's ability to pay dividends. Company's capital structure is managed in an active manner and the capital structure requirements are taken into consideration when considering various financing alternatives. The company can adjust the capital structure by deciding on issuance of new shares, raising debt financing or making adjustments to the dividend.

The long term equity ratio target of the company is 40 per cent and the current syndicate loan agreement requires a minimum equity ratio of 32.5 per cent. The equity ratio of the loan agreement is calculated by making certain adjustments to the IFRS equity ratio by, among other things, adding the capital loan and convertible capital loan issued by the company to the shareholders' equity. The company's equity ratio as of 31 December 2007 stood at 43.9 per cent and the equity ratio as defined in the loan agreement was 50.1 per cent.

Citycon's deferred taxes mainly arise from changes in the fair value of investment properties. In 2007, deferred taxes resulting from the changes in the investment properties' fair value recognised in the income statement totalled EUR 46.0 million (EUR 28.7 million).

The fair value of an investment property reflects the market price that would be paid for the property on the date of measurement, while deferred taxes refer to taxes imposed on any gain on sale if the property were to be sold.

Citycon's policy is to realise its properties' sales by selling its shares representing ownership in the property. The ownership structure is mainly organised so that one real estate company owns one building. In Sweden and the Baltic countries, the sale of shares representing ownership in property does not have tax implications. Consequently, Citycon does not recognise deferred taxes related to the fair value of investment properties located in Sweden or in the Baltic countries. If Citycon would recognize the deferred taxes from the changes in fair values of Swedish and the Baltic properties, the tax impact would have been EUR 16.7 million in 2007 (EUR 4,0 million) (See the Note 10. Income tax expense).

On the contrary, divesting a property in Finland through an asset or share sale does have tax implications and, therefore, Citycon recognises deferred taxes arising from the fair value changes of its investment properties located in Finland. Deferred taxes are calculated on the difference between an investment property's fair value and its taxable value, using the formula presented below. The taxable value consists of the acquisition cost of shares in the mutual real estate company and loans receivable from the company or a directly owned property's undepreciated, residual value. Deferred taxes in the balance sheet: 26% * (investment property's fair value – (value of shares in the mutual

real estate company in the parent company's balance sheet + parent company's loans receivable from the mutual real estate company).

The change in deferred taxes between the opening and closing balance sheets is recognised in the income statement as expense/income.

The fair value of the investment properties is measured in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). The provisions of the Finnish accounting and tax legislation affect the value of shares in, and loans receivable from, the mutual real estate company. For instance, investments conducted by the mutual real estate company or depreciation recorded by subsidiaries with outstanding debt entail a change in the value of shares and loans receivable.

On 31 December 2007, Group companies had confirmed losses for which tax assets of EUR 2.0 million (EUR 3.2 million in 2006) were not recognised since these Group companies are unlikely to record taxable profit, before the expiration of carry forwards of these losses, against which loss carry forwards can be utilised. These loss carryforwards will expire between 2008 and 2009.

23. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Share-based payments

A) Stock-option schemes

Citycon Group has had stock-option schemes in place since 1999. The Group has applied IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to its stock options granted after 7 November 2002 and not vested before 1 January 2005. Stock options granted before 7 November 2002 have not been expensed.

In 1999, the EGM decided to grant a maximum of 5,500,000 stock options. Citycon Group employees were granted a total of 5,327,500 stock option rights and the remaining 172,500 option rights were assigned to Veniamo-Invest Oy, a Citycon subsidiary.

In 2004, the AGM decided to grant a maximum of 3,900,000 stock options. At year-end 2007, Citycon Group employees held a total of 3,220,000 options rights. The remaining 680,000 stock options 2004 A/B/C are held by Veniamo-Invest Oy. The Board of Directors of Citycon Oyj has decided that these options will no longer be distributed to current or future Group employees. If an employee leaves the Group prior to 1 September 2008, (s)he will forfeit his/her right to exercise stock options for which the share subscription period will not have begun on the date of the termination of his/her employment/executive contract. However, the Board of Directors may specifically decide that the stock-option holder may retain his/her stock options or some of them. Subsequently, the number of granted stock options may change before the said date. The forfeited stock options are held by Veniamo-Invest Oy, which, however, is not entitled to subscribe parent company shares.

Stock options entitle their holders to subscribe for company shares at the price and within the period specified in the terms and conditions of the stock-options. The terms and conditions of the 2004 scheme were amended during the reporting period as a result of the rights issue carried out during the year. Amendments were made to the share subscription prices and ratio. The new subscription ratio as well as the new subscription prices are specified in the table below.

Citycon uses the Black & Scholes option-pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options at the grant date and reports them under personnel expenses in the income statement allocated over the instrument's

vesting period. In 2007, the expense recognised in the income statement totalled EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.9 million in 2006). The expected volatility is determined by calculating the company share price's historical volatility.

The stock option scheme 1999 ended on 30 September 2007. By the end of the subscription period, a total of 5,631,912 Citycon shares had been subscribed by exercising the 1999 stock options, including 825,982 shares subscribed at a EUR 1.35 per-share subscription price in 2007. Of the 1999 option rights, only the 172,500 options held by Veniamo-Invest Oy remained unexercised. These options have expired worthless.

Following the amendments to the terms and conditions of the 2004 stock option scheme that took effect in October 2007, the number of shares that can be subscribed for by exercising the 2004 option rights totals 4,697,506. The subscription of shares will not result in an increase in the company's share capital, since the entire subscription price is recognised under invested unrestricted equity fund.

The initial subscription prices of the shares to be subscribed for by exercising the 2004 stock options were determined on the basis of the trade-weighted average price of Citycon share quoted on the stock exchange in Helsinki as follows:

2004A during 1-30 April 2004
2004B during 1-30 April 2005
2004C during 1-30 April 2006

added with 20%. The share subscription prices will be reduced by 50 per cent of the amount of the per-share dividend paid before share subscription. The share subscription prices have been changed also due to the rights issues carried out in 2006 and 2007.

The per-share exercise price of the stock options exercised during the financial year averaged EUR 1.58 (EUR 1.38 in 2006) and these were exercised evenly over the financial year. The stock options exercised during 2007 brought in EUR 1.8 million (EUR 4.0 million in 2006), which were recognised in invested unrestricted equity fund (in 2006 EUR 3.7 million were recognised in share capital, EUR 0.1 million in share premium fund and EUR 0.1 million in share issue).

B) Long-term share-based incentive plan

The Board of Directors decided 26 April 2007 on a long-term sharebased incentive plan for key personnel of the Citycon Group. The aim of the plan is to encourage the key personnel to sustained efforts to increase shareholder value and to strengthen their commitment to the development of the Group's operations. The potential incentive is determined on the basis of the growth of Citycon Group's adjusted earnings per share and net rental income in 2007-2009. The incentive plan is divided into three incentive periods of 2007, 2008 and 2009. The incentives will be granted to the key personnel during the years 2008-2012 so that the incentives earned during 2007 are paid in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Board of Directors decides annually on the key personnel participating in the long-term incentive plan and on setting of the incentive goals. The incentive granted will comprise Citycon shares, cash or both. In the incentive period 2007, the maximum number of shares granted is determined by their volume weighted average price during the first quarter in the period. The incentives paid in shares are charged to administration expenses and recognized as an increase in shareholders' equity, and incentives paid in cash are charged to administration expenses and recognized as liabilities. In 2007, the expense recognised in the income statement amounted to EUR 0.0 million.

The following table presents additional information on the sharebased incentive plan:

A) Other leases -Group as lessee

The future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable other leases are as follows:

EUR million 2007 2006
Not later than 1 year 0.7 0.4
1-5 years 1.0 0.6
Over 5 years - -
Total 1.7 1.0

Other leases with an average length of three years include mainly leases on office premises, cars and office equipment.

B) Other leases -Group as lessor

The future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable leases are as follows:

EUR million 2007 2006
Not later than 1 year 51.4 41.4
1-5 years 78.2 64.2
Over 5 years 27.4 19.8
Total 157.0 125.4

The majority of Citycon's leases falls into the category of valid-until further-notice agreements, whereby the rental rate is determined by the absolute net lease tied to the cost-of-living index, and the maintenance rent. The maintenance rent, charged separately from the lessee, covers operating expenses incurred by the property owner due to property maintenance while enabling the provision any additional services requested by the lessee. The Shopping Centres division also has leases tied to turnover generated by retailers, these accounting for roughly 16 per cent (11 per cent) of Citycon's lease portfolio. The share of the leases tied to the lessee's turnover will increase in the future.

C) Pledges and other contingent liabilities

Mortgages on land and buildings 46.4 21.1
Bank guarantees 49.8 37.1
Capital commitments 31.0 40.7
VAT refund liabilities 15.6 9.9

Capital commitments relate mainly to several development projects. There are value-added tax refund liabilities arising from capitalized renovations and new investments in Citycon's investment properties. The VAT refund liabilities will realize if the investment property is sold or transferred to non-VAT-liability use within 5 years.

D) Equity ratio commitment and interest coverage ratio

Under a commitment given in the terms of the term loan facility, Citycon Group undertakes to maintain its equity ratio at above 32.5% and its interest coverage ratio at a minimum of 1.8. For the calculation of the equity ratio, the shareholders' equity includes the capital loans and excludes non-cash valuation gain/loss from derivative contracts recognized in equity and the minority interest. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the EBITDA - adjusted by extraordinary gains/losses, provisions and non-cash items - by net financial expenses.

Accordingly, equity ratio on 31 December 2007 stood at 50.1% and interest coverage ratio at 2.0 (2006: equity ratio was 49.8 per cent and interest coverage ratio 2.3).

Both the CEO and the company may terminate the CEO's executive contract at six months' notice. If the company terminates the contract for a reason not attributable to the CEO, it will pay the CEO lump-sump compensation equalling his 18-month salary in cash, in addition to the salary.

Based on his executive contract, the CEO was granted 1,500,000 stock options under the 1999 stock-option scheme in 2002, and, under the 2004 stock-option scheme, 150,000 2004A stock options in 2004, 140,000 2004B stock options in 2005, and 140,000 2004C stock options in 2006.

Reporting to Gazit-Globe Ltd:

The company's main shareholder, Gazit-Globe Ltd, holding approximately 39 per cent of the shares in the company, has announced that it applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in its financial reporting in 2007. According to IFRS one company may exercise a controlling interest in another company even if its shareholding it that company does not exceed 50 per cent. Gazit-Globe Ltd. holds the view that it exercises controlling interest, as defined in IFRS, in Citycon Oyj based on the fact that it has been able to exercise controlling interest in Citycon Oyj's shareholders' meetings pursuant to its shareholding. In accordance with an agreement concluded between the companies, Citycon Oyj will provide Gazit-Globe Ltd. with a more detailed breakdown of the accounting information it discloses in its interim and full-year reports so that Gazit-Globe Ltd. can consolidate Citycon Group figures into its own IFRS financial statements. The expenses resulting from the reporting responsibility have not been invoiced from Gazit-Globe Ltd in 2007.

26. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

In connection with the Lippulaiva shopping centre's extension, Citycon acquired all shares in MREC Kiinteistö Oy Majakka and, at the same time, divested its entire holding in MREC Kiinteistö Oy Ulappatori. Kiinteistö Oy Majakka owns undeveloped land in the surroundings of Lippulaiva, in the area planned for the shopping centre's extension in Espoo, Finland.

Since Citycon continues to have a right of possession into the leasable areas of MREC Kiinteistö Oy Ulappatori, the divestment of holding in MREC Kiinteistö Oy Ulappatori is not treated as a disposal of investment property in Citycon's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS-rules. The right of possession terminates when the extension construction is completed or at the latest during 2011.

Citycon signed an agreement on 12 February for the sale of part of shopping centre Iso Omena to an affiliate of GIC Real Estate, the property investment arm of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. Upon closing of the agreement, Citycon will own 60 per cent of the shopping centre and GIC Real Estate, 40 per cent. The parties have agreed that Citycon will continue to be responsible for the business and management of the shopping centre on customary terms. The agreed debt-free purchase price, EUR 131.6 million, is equivalent to 40 per cent of the original acquisition price of EUR 329 million paid by Citycon.

Auditors' Report

To the shareholders of Citycon Oyj

We have audited the accounting records, the report of the Board of Directors, the financial statements and the administration of Citycon Oyj for the period 1.1. – 31.12.2007. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director have prepared the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, as well as the report of the Board of Directors and the parent company's financial statements, prepared in accordance with prevailing regulations in Finland, containing the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements. Based on our audit, we express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements, as well as on the report of the Board of Directors, the parent company's financial statements and the administration.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Finnish Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the report of the Board of Directors and the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the report and in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The purpose of our audit of the administration is to examine whether the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of the parent company have complied with the rules of the Companies Act.

Consolidated financial statements

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair view, as defined in those

standards and in the Finnish Accounting Act, of the consolidated results of operations as well as of the financial position.

Parent company's financial statements, report of the Board of Directors and administration

In our opinion the parent company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act and other applicable Finnish rules and regulations. The parent company's financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's result of operations and of the financial position. In our opinion the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act and other applicable Finnish rules and regulations. The report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and the parent company's financial statements and gives a true and fair view, as defined in the Finnish Accounting Act, of the result of operations and of the financial position.

The consolidated financial statements and the parent company's financial statements can be adopted and the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Directors of the parent company can be discharged from liability for the period audited by us. The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the disposal of distributable funds is in compliance with the Companies Act.

Valuation Statement

APPRAISAL METHOD

Realia Management Oy has made a valuation of Citycon's property portfolio as of 31 December 2007. The valuation was carried out as a cash flow analysis of the net operating income for a period of 10 years. When valuing unbuilt lots and properties that are affected by city plan alterations the market value is determined by the value of unused building right.

1.1 Cash Flow Calculation Method

The year on year cash flow was calculated on Citycon's existing leases, upon the expiry of which the contract rent has been replaced with Realia Management's view of the market rent. Potential Gross Rental Income (PGI) equals leased space with respect to contract rents and vacant space with respect to market rents. Deducting both the market rent for the idle time between the expired contract and assumed new contract, and the assumed general vacancy level, results in the Effective Gross Rental Income. Effective Gross Rental Income less operating expenses (incl. repairs and tenant improvements) equals the Net Operating Income (NOI). NOI less any investment type of repairs (CAPEX) equals the bottom level cash flow (NOI2) that has been discounted to reach the present value of the income stream.

The exit value at the end of the valuation period was calculated by capitalising the 11th year cash flow (base year) with an exit yield.

The total value of the property was calculated as the sum of the yearly discounted income stream, the discounted residual value at the end of the calculation period and any other value added assets, such as unused construction rights and lots.

1.2 Transaction and Market Data Methodology

All variables were estimated based on Realia Management's market observations, such as transactions, rental levels and other observations. All of this was done in close cooperation with Citycon's property management, where Realia Management used its objective veto on the data provided.

1.3 Yield Determination

There have been no significant changes in the real estate market since Q3 of 2007. After a very active first half of the year 2007, the real estate market dampened slightly during the second half due to rising interest rate levels and uncertainty in the global financial markets. The market is still active, but there has been a change in the market participants in favour of higher equity investors. Moreover, the competitiveness of leverage investors has declined due to rising interest rate levels and overall uncertainty in the financial sector. This is likely to lead to rising yield levels in certain property sectors. All in all, recent developments have

led to greater diversification between asset classes. The same message can be heard from the financing sector; good properties will still be financed on favourable loan terms, but B and C grade properties combined with inexperienced investors will have greater loan margins, meaning higher yields.

Despite a leveling investment environment the market continued to perform quite actively during the closing stages of 2007. The overall volume in Finland for 2007 is likely to reach some 5.2 billion euros, representing a slight decline on 2006's level of 5.5 billion. It will be very interesting to see how the market as a whole, and its submarkets, perform during the spring of 2008. The latest news has indicated mounting uncertainty in the US economy, especially on the financial market. On the other hand, the rest of the world is still going strong. The future interest rate trend in Europe remains uncertain, with opinions forecasting both increases and cuts in the coming year. The ECB would be forced to act against rising inflation rates, but recent figures have indicated smaller levels of inflation and therefore declining pressure for interest rate hikes.

Overall, the Finnish real estate market has matured a great deal in recent years and we believe the market will remain on a healthy level, even in less favourable market conditions. As a result of the market trend, Realia Management has revised its input parameters to cohere with existing market characteristics. The Realia Management level describes a reasonable market level, from which unhealthy and inappropriate market behaviour has been eliminated.

1.4 Potential Development Projects

Some development projects were valued using a separate project model. This model is only used in projects accompanied by: 1) a Citycon board decision, and 2) sufficient information for a reliable valuation. Such information includes e.g. an extensive project plan, several new rental agreements, future investments etc. The appraiser makes the final decision on the use of this model. The project model is a 10year cash flow model, which takes the projects' future investments and changing cash flows into consideration. It includes present cash flows up to the end of the development phase and future cash flows after the development. The project model was used in the valuation of one (1) property: Trio shopping centre in Lahti.

All other potential development options were omitted from the valuation. These properties were evaluated based on the current situation and current estimated rental value. All undeveloped lots or those under development were evaluated based on their current zoning. The value in each case was set based on market observations.

2. RESULT

The portfolio consists of a wide range of properties with different market values and levels of quality, and its total value is calculated as the sum of the individual properties.

In this valuation, we have valued the following properties for the first time; the Magistral shopping centre in Tallinn, Estonia, the Iso Omena shopping centre in Espoo, Finland and the Asemakuja retail and office property in Espoo, Finland, which were all new acquisitions during the third quarter of 2007. During the last quarter Citycon did not divest any of its properties.

Changes in the total value of the portfolio are mainly due to new, significantly higher lease agreements in some properties (especially Koskikeskus and Jyväskylä Forum) and more precise information on operational cost levels in addition to the new acquisitions named above. Iso Omena represented a significant addition to the portfolio, comprising some 15 per cent of the total portfolio value in Q4. At the same it has had a significant effect on the weighted average yields (and other figures). Weighted averages are calculated in proportion to market value and Iso Omena having the highest market value has also the biggest impact on the weighted averages. The addition of Iso Omena alone has caused the weighted average yield of the portfolio to drop compared to 2007 Q3. The total market value of the property portfolio as of December 31 was 2,194.8 euros.

3. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The sensitivity of the fair value of the portfolio was tested by changing the key input parameters of the calculations. The parameters tested were required yield, gross income, total expenses (including operational costs and repair costs) and the estimated long-term vacancy rate. For testing, the starting point was the current market value of properties. Moreover, the analysis was performed by changing one parameter at a time, while all others remained unchanged, and calculating the corresponding market value of the total portfolio. The results indicate that the market value is most sensitive to the yield requirement and gross income levels. A 10 percent decrease in the yield requirement results in an approximately 11 percent increase in total value. Correspondingly, a 10% increase in gross income increases the value by approximately 14 percent. Furthermore, a 10 percent increase in total expenses decreases the portfolio value by 4 percent. However, the value is not as sensitive to long-term vacancy levels. A ten percent change in this parameter alters the market value by less than one percent.
