THIS IS ENTRA EIENDOM

Entra is one of Norway's leading real estate companies, focusing on high quality, flexible office buildings with good locations. The company owns and manages approximately 1.3 million square metres, divided between more than 100 buildings. Each day over 30,000 people work in buildings owned by Entra. At the end of the first quarter of 2014 the real estate portfolio had a market value of around NOK 26.4 billion. The public sector represents approximately 72 per cent of the customer portfolio.

Entra's business concept is to develop, let and manage attractive and environmentally leading buildings, as well as engaging in active portfolio management through the purchase and sale of properties. The company's business strategy has three pillars: customer satisfaction, profitable growth and environmental leadership.

Figures from the Norwegian Tenant Survey show that in 2013 Entra achieved an aggregate customer satisfaction rating of 72, against an industry average of 69. The result for 2013 is an improvement on 2012. Close customer contact and the establishment of the company's own customer service centre are important factors in being able to continue to maintain high customer satisfaction in the future. In addition Entra has high ambitions with regard to the environment and works to reduce total energy consumption in the existing portfolio. Important quality criteria for Entra's new buildings are to achieve a passive building standard and BREEAM classification "Excellent", and to use environmentally efficient building materials.

Entra's strategic areas of concentration are Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. The company is organised into four regions: Central Oslo, Greater Oslo, Southern and Western Norway and Central and Northern Norway. Entra has its head office in Oslo and also has regional offices in Bergen and Trondheim.

Entra was established on 1 July 2000 following a decision of the Norwegian parliament to separate out the office building activities of Statsbygg. The Norwegian state, through the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, owns the company. Entra has return requirements and operating parameters that correspond to private real estate companies. The Government has been authorised to sell up to 100 per cent of the shares in Entra. On 14 January 2014 the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries announced that steps were being taken to privatise Entra and that the privatisation process could be carried out without the divestment of properties from Entra.

Financial developments

Results for the first quarter

The Group's rental income was NOK 410.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. In comparison the company recorded rental income of NOK 373.4 million in the same period in 2013. NOK 13.4 million of the increase in rental income relates to the purchase of Hinna Park with effect from 1 February 2014. In addition has completion of the projects at Brattørkaia 15 in Trondheim and Fredrik Selmers vei 4 in Oslo and the purchase of the property Vahlsgate 1-3 in contributed to increased rental income in the period.

Maintenance and operating costs amounted to NOK 34.7 million in the quarter (NOK 28.6 million). The increase is mainly due to somewhat higher maintenance and ownership costs in the quarter compared with the first quarter of last year. Other property costs mainly relate to depreciation and rental expenses and amounted to NOK 7.8 million (NOK 20.6 million), while administrative costs amounted to NOK 60.5 million (NOK 45.9 million). The increase in administrative costs relates to salaries and administration costs at Hinna Park and an accruals difference that arose in the first quarter of 2013.

The profit from property operations amounted to NOK 320.9 million (NOK 282.9 million) in the first quarter of 2014.

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in an unrealised negative change of NOK -6.8 million, compared with NOK -74.8 million in the first quarter of 2013.

The net unrealised value change on financial instruments was NOK -113.7 million (NOK -13.9 million) in the quarter. The negative development is mainly due to an increase in liabilities relating to the Group's fixed rate loans as a result of a reduction in market valued credit margins in the quarter.

Net realised financial expenses amounted to NOK -161.8 million (NOK -173.6 million) and net realised financial income, mainly related to IFRIC 12 properties, amounted to NOK 29.0 million (NOK 22.4 million).

The profit before tax was NOK 85.1 million (NOK 42.9 million). The profit for the period after tax was NOK 65.9 million (NOK 29.3 million).

Balance sheet as at 31.03.2014

The group's assets amounted to NOK 28,382.6 million (NOK 25,860.4 million) at the end of the first quarter. Of this, investment property amounted to NOK 24,530.1 million (NOK 22,570.8 million) and investment property held for sale to NOK 383.1 million (NOK 202.7 million). Five properties were classified as held for sale.

During the quarter the Group has recognised goodwill of NOK 132.5 million (NOK 0) in connection with the acquisition of Hinna Park.

Investments in associated companies and jointly controlled entities were NOK 1,146.0 million (NOK 1,022.4 million). Long-term receivables amounting to NOK 732.1 million (NOK 1,117.0 million) consist mainly of the properties Nasjonalbiblioteket and Vøyenenga School, which are valued in accordance with IFRIC 12. The reason for the reduction is that the IFRIC 12 property Borgating Lagmannsrett was reclassified as a short-term receivable during the second quarter of last year after Statsbygg exercised a purchase option on the property. It is planned to transfer the property on 30 September 2014.

The Group's interest-bearing debt at the end of the first quarter was NOK 15,623.2 million (NOK 13,712.1 million). The change is due to increased borrowings in order to finance property improvements and the purchase of Hinna Park. Trade payables and other payables were NOK 809.6 million (NOK 473.3 million). The increase is due, among other things, to interest due on interestbearing debt, the dividend payment to the shareholder that has been approved and other short-term accruals.

The Group's equity capital including non-controlling interests was NOK 8,100.0 million (NOK 7,972.1 million) as at 31.03.14 which corresponds to an equity ratio of 28.5 per cent (30.8 per cent). In connection with the acquisition of Hinna Park the Group has recorded a noncontrolling ownership interest of NOK 290.7 million in the quarter.

The net value of assets in the balance sheet (EPRA NAV) was NOK 11,208 million (11,389 million).

Deferred tax for investment property is calculated as the difference between the tax and market value of investment property at a nominal tax rate of 27 per cent.

Cash flow statement

The Group's net cash flow from operations amounted to NOK 174.6 million (NOK 92.0 million) in the first quarter. The change is mainly due to an increased result from property management and positive changes in working capital.

Net cash flow from investments was NOK -309.8 million (NOK -188.2 million). The Group has received NOK 191.2 million (NOK 527.8 million) from the sale of properties and paid a net amount of NOK 186.5 million (NOK 0) in connection with the purchase of the business Hinna Park Eiendom in the first quarter of 2014. In addition NOK 314.5 million (NOK 410.6 million) was paid out, of which NOK 259.8 million (NOK 209.4 million) relates to improvements to the existing property portfolio.

Net cash flow from financing was NOK 177.0 million (NOK 57.5 million). The increase is due to higher borrowings related to the purchase of Hinna Park and improvements to the existing property portfolio. The net change in liquid assets was NOK 41.8 million (NOK 337.7 million) during the period.

Financing

During the quarter the Group refinanced and established new commercial paper loans for a total of NOK 1,250 million. The Group's bank debt has increased during the quarter mainly due to the purchase of Hinna Park Eiendom AS. Hinna Park has bank financing of NOK 731.8 million, which will be consolidated in the Entra.

The Group's interest-bearing nominal debt was NOK 15,418 million as at 31.03.14 (NOK 13,564.5 million as at 31.03.13).

The Group has a differentiated maturity profile for its interest-bearing nominal debt. The average remaining term of the Group's debt portfolio was 4.9 years (5.7 years) at the end of the period. The calculation takes account of the fact that available long-term credit facilities can replace short-term debt.

60 per cent of the Group's financing was hedged at a fixed interest rate. The weighted effective maturity of the fixed rate portion was 2.9 years (3.1 years) at the end of the quarter.

The Group's average interest rate was 4.42 per cent at the end of the first quarter (5.07 per cent). The reduction in the average interest rate from the first quarter of 2013 is mainly due to the expiry of interest hedging transactions previously entered into.

* Including initial value/cost of land

The above table shows ongoing projects with a total project cost exceeding NOK 50 million.

The project Akersgaten 34-36 involves a new building and the refurbishment of 6,200 square metres of offices and is fully let to A-media. The project is on schedule and demolition work is taking place. The project is expected to be completed and handed over in September 2015.

Otto Sverdrupsplass 4 (formerly Øvre Torg 1) in Sandvika is in the final phase and fitting out and technical work is taking place. A "Knowhow Centre" for Bærum Municipality and Oslo and Akershus University College will be established in 75 per cent of the total space.

At Schweigaardsgate 16 in Oslo a new office building of 15,500 square metres is under construction where Statoil Fuel & Retail will be the largest tenant with 12,100 square metres. Technical works are starting now and the building will be completed in June 2015.

The project Ringstabekken 105 in Bærum consists of Ringhøyden (commercial premises and apartments) and Slottshagen (apartments). Slottshagen consists of 24 retirement apartments all of which have been sold. The project is expected to be completed in December 2014. The commercial premises at Ringhøyden of approximately 3,000 square metres have been handed over to the tenant Bærum Municipality. Construction of the infrastructure and the 48 senior apartments is continuing and 9 of these have been sold. The project is expected to be completed in December 2014.

At Langkaia 1 in Oslo the 9th and 10th floors, equivalent to 6,200 square metres, are being fully refurbished. In addition the old "loading balcony" is in process of being developed into new office premises totalling 2,400 square meters.

At Hinna Park construction of the underground parking garage associated with the projects Gullfaks and Oseberg has started.

Powerhouse Kjørbo in Bærum was finalized and the tenant Asplan Viak moved in on 31 March 2014. During its expected lifetime the building will produce more renewable energy than that used in the production of the building's materials, erection, operation and demolition of the building. This makes Powerhouse Kjørbo the world's first refurbished energy positive building.

Oslo S Utvikling AS (OSU) (33,33 % ownership)

OSU is a property development company that is undertaking the development of parts of the city district Bjørvika in Oslo. OSU is responsible for around 350,000 square metres above ground and around 105,000 square metres below ground, of which approximately 163,000 square metres above ground and approximately 55,000 square metres below ground had been developed by OSU by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

OSU's strategy of developing properties for sale means that the properties are not recorded in the financial statements at fair value, but at historic cost. In the consolidated financial statements the investment is included using the equity method, and equity after tax is recorded at NOK 619.2 million in the consolidated financial statements as at 31.03.2014.

The market value of the properties and projects in OSU is estimated at approximately NOK 2.9 billion (100 per cent). Entra's ownership of 33.33 per cent gives a market value of NOK 1.0 billion. The estimate is based on corresponding principles to those used for Entra's other valuations of investment properties. Entra's share of the net asset value as at 31.03.2014 was NOK 1.0 billion after taking into account estimated latent deferred tax of 10 per cent.

Rental market

Office vacancy is roughly unchanged at a moderately high level in Entra's most important markets. Generally nevertheless rents have risen for modern, centrally located premises. Lower growth in employment in the autumn appears to have continued into 2014. There is a little more uncertainty relating to future developments.

Rents in Oslo show an increase of 4 per cent (geographically weighted) from the fourth to the first quarter of this year. The level is now the highest that has been measured with an average of NOK 1,900 per square metre. Rents are some 10 per cent higher than at the same time last year. Rents for newer buildings with a high standard continue to move up, particularly in the CBD. Office vacancy was stable at around 7.5 per cent during the quarter.

Office vacancy in Bergen has risen slightly and is around 7 per cent. Rents were virtually unchanged during the quarter. Modern centrally located premises in Bergen are achieving rents of around NOK 2,200 per square metre.

In Trondheim office vacancy has fallen to around 5 per cent. Rents were unchanged in the quarter. Modern centrally located premises in Trondheim are achieving rents of around NOK 2,000 per square metre.

In Stavanger a weaker labour market and increased subletting has led to the office vacancy rate rising to around 7 per cent. Rents have also levelled out for modern office buildings in the city centre, at Forus and at Hinna Park. In the centre and at Hinna Park rents for modern premises are around NOK 2,600 per square metre.

Organisation

At 31 March 2014 the Group had 157 (166) employees, of whom 13 are employed in Hinna Park AS.

During the quarter there were two injuries that resulted in absence from work at one of the ongoing projects. Entra has implemented several initiatives to improve the HSE situation and works continually on its objective of avoiding injuries.

The Group had an LTIF rate (number of accidents involving absence from work per million hours worked in last 12 months) on ongoing projects of 6.7 as at the end of the quarter. HSE work has a high priority in the Group but the results are still not satisfactory.

Risk and risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risk through the considerable level of debt financing, and changes in interest rate levels on loans at floating rates will affect the Group's cash flow. The risks associated with the development in market rates are managed through active use of various interest hedging instruments. Liquidity/refinancing risk is reduced by entering into longterm loan agreements, as well as through establishing a diversified maturity structure and the use of various credit markets and counterparties.

The Group's equity is affected by value changes on properties and financial instruments that are due to changes in, among other things, interest rate levels, yields and other market conditions.

Entra is exposed to the letting market, which is affected by macroeconomic changes in, among other things, GDP, the CPI and employment. Vacancy in the portfolio and rent changes on renegotiation of existing contracts affects the ongoing cash flow. Efforts are made to reduce the letting risk by systematic customer service, following up contract expiries and plans for letting work, as well as by adapting properties to customers' requirements. By entering into long leases with a diversified maturity structure, the Group achieves a stable and predictable cash flow.

Entra carries out major upgrading and development projects involving risks in relation to deadlines and costs.

There has for some time been a deviation between the rent adjustment on leases entered into (CPI) and the

increase in building costs, a factor which it has been important to take into account when planning and implementing projects. This difference is expected to be less in the future.

Outlook

Growth in the Norwegian economy has slowed and a low rate of growth in employment is expected in the future. Office vacancy levels are expected to remain unchanged as a result of the low level of new building. Entra expects slightly rising rent levels for centrally located modern premises.

Property investors continued to seek quality properties with good locations and secure cash flows, in addition to properties with development potential. In today's selective transaction market centrally located properties in the main cities are still very attractive while in the smaller cities and towns it is difficult to achieve good valuations. This trend is expected to continue in 2014.

Entra will give priority to working to be the best in the sector with regard to customer satisfaction through good operations and customer follow-up. Use of the customer centre is being further strengthened.

It is the company's view that customers to an increasing degree prefer environmentally sustainable office premises. Entra will therefore continue in the future to work systematically to achieve environmentally and economically correct solutions.

Entra's profitability, expressed as the result from property operations, has been stable over time. Efficient operations, good project implementation and active portfolio management are the most important parameters for a good development in profitability.

Investment properties held for sale include the properties St. Olavsgate 4, Pilestredet AB, CD and Lakkegata 55 in Oslo, Grønnegata 122 in Tromsø and Skansegaten 2 in Stavanger.

The value change on operational lease agreements relates to the property Langkaia, which is owned under a lease that expires on 31 December 2030. The property will then revert without consideration to the Oslo Harbour Authority.

The property is classified as an investment property under IAS 40 and is valued at NOK 596 million as at the end of the first quarter of 2014. The Group records quarterly a negative value change on the property as the maturity date of the lease approaches.

4 IFRIC 12

IFRIC 12 regulates the recording of public infrastructure by private entities acting pursuant to contracts from the public sector. The infrastructure is operated by the private entity over a certain period, with the public sector controlling the residual value. In the case of Entra this applies to 3 properties. The properties have been recorded under Other financial receivables in the balance sheet. In calculating the long-term receivable estimates have been used to which some uncertainty attaches. The estimate uncertainty relates to future rent payments. In addition there is uncertainty relating to each property with regard to estimates of future ownership costs, investments and buyout clauses.

The IFRIC 12 properties generated rental income in this quarter of NOK 22.7 million (NOK 22.0 million), which is not included in the Group's income statement as the properties are accounted for under IFRIC 12. Correspondingl y the Group has recorded interest and other financial income in the income statement of NOK 25.8 million (NOK 21.0 million) this quarter. The receivable in respect of the IFRIC 12 properties is valued at NOK 1,126.5 million (NOK 1,109.2 million) at quarter end.

5. Contingencies

Due to a disagreement between the shareholders in Greenfield Property AS («GFP») Entra has sued Norwegian Data Group AS («NDG») and GFP. After receiving the writ NDG and GFP have brought their own claim against Entra.

EVRY has issued a writ against Entra alleging that Entra has defaulted on a guarantee to complete Greenfield Datacenter and/or a promise to support the computer centre project.

Entra considers it unlikely that the claims of NDG/GFP and EVRY will succeed.

6. Information on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The valuation methods and principles are unchanged in the quarter. See the annual financial statements for 2013 for further information. Set out below is a summary of financial instruments divided between the different valuation hierarchies set out in IFRS 7.

With the exception of equity capital instruments of NOK 0.6 million (level 3) all financial instruments are level 2.
