Comments by the CEO

For Balder, 2015 was a very interesting and positive year! The property market continued to perform well (too well?) due to strong interest from investors driven by record low interest rates, a favourable rental market and also in some cases due to a lack of alternative investment opportunities.

Our largest investment by far during the year was our gradual acquisition of just over 50 percent of the shares of the Finnish residential property company Sato. Although Finland has shown a weaker performance than the other Nordic countries in recent years, I am convinced that the long-term development in Finland will be positive again. Through Sato, we gain an excellent organisation and a fantastic network, which will give

us the potential to find good investment opportunities over time. Our Finnish investment is in safe hands.

In Sweden, we were a net seller of investment properties, although on a small scale, and a net investor in residential

projects instead, and we are now gradually obtaining a better and better project portfolio. In the short term,

this will have a slightly

negative impact on earnings but looking ahead, these investments will be important for our future results.

The property market in Copenhagen was also strong during the year and our operations there are gradually improving and expanding through the construction projects, which are being completed now and in the coming years. We have also

initiated our first hotel investment in Copenhagen, which feels great. As you probably know, we are really delighted about our hotels and this division at Balder also advanced its position during 2015.

"Our Finnish investment is in safe hands."

Associated companies

On the associated company side, we gained some fine new additions in the form of Tornet and Brinova. Even though their impact on our comprehensive income and balance sheet is not so large at present, it will give us additional investment opportunities and options over time and, not least, it gives us new relationships.

Creating new relationships and maintaining existing ones is something that I consider to be invaluable and it is also fun and stimulating for me and for the rest of Balder's employees.

In June, Collector was listed on the stock market, which meant that the company's value has become more clearly visible. We regard Collector as an associated company and we expect that Balder will remain as an owner for the foreseeable future. In accounting terms, this means that we should not recognise Collector's shares at market value but at cost value (our share of the profit is added to this). To provide as true and fair view as possible, we also present our balance sheet and key ratios including Collector at market value.

Financial goals and key ratios

To maintain a strong balance sheet, we used part of the authorisation to issue

shares that we received at the Annual General Meeting 2015.

We carried out a directed issue of 10 million shares to Swedish and international institutions and it received a very good response. The offer was strongly oversubscribed.

Balder's Board of Directors has decided to adjust the company's goal for the interest coverage ratio

from 1.5 to 2 times. When the interest rate is at prevailing levels, the interest coverage ratio key ratio is not so interesting but who

knows what will happen with interest rates over time? (I don't know).

2016 and subsequently

In the short term, the property market fe-

els strong based on the same factors that have prevailed in recent years. However, our focus is completely on the long-term performance for Balder and for its shareholders. Looking ahead, I am very positive about Balder's opportunities due to the fact that our organisation is continuallyimproving, we are investing in different segments in different markets and

"Looking ahead, I am very positive about Balder's opportunities."

because we have so many partners that help us with everything possible.

Erik Selin Chief Executive Officer

Comments by the Chairman of the Board

As a property owner, Balder must emphasise that it is a long-term owner, which is prepared to take the necessary measures.

In Paris, just before Christmas, 195 countries signed a historic agreement to try to limit the rise in the global average temperature to 1.5 degrees. It is good that the politicians set long-term targets and then supplement them with laws, rules and other measures. But it will not be enough. The actual change process must be embraced by society as a whole, the business community and individuals. Then the efforts made by Balder, our employees and our tenants will be important for reaching the long-term goal.

The duties of Balder's Board of Directors include working on the Group's long-term development, follow up of the Management's operating activities and to assure order and clarity in the company. When a company has a clear owner like Balder, order and clarity has existed all along since the owner's own money was at stake. Therefore, thriftiness is also a part of the company's DNA.

Sustainability work

These duties also include following up that the company and its Management advance Balder's efforts to help create a sustainable society. It is important to state that sustainability is more than just an environmental issue – it's also about taking social responsibility. For a number of years, Balder has moved up a gear in terms of strengthening its sustainability work with a strong focus on energy, waste, transports, material and chemicals. This is naturally based

on an environmental management system with clear routines, tools and action plans. The next step has been an ambitious training programme for property caretakers and employees in project development. Last but not least in terms of importance - material such as cement leaves a large carbon footprint on the environment. In this respect, our employees must use smart thinking and be very competent buyers

Risk assessment is another important question that is always part of the Board's discussions. This includes questions such as assessment of market conditions and their impact on different parts of the market, vacancies, the interest rate trend, organising the operations to reduce dependence on individual persons etc.

The company is trying to take its social responsibility in different ways by providing comfort and security in its residential areas. In certain run-down areas, extensive renovations and longterm investments are required in order to reverse the negative development, reduce vandalism, provide security and also build pride among residents in their area. As a property owner, Balder must emphasise that it is a long-term owner, which is prepared to take the necessary measures. Vårby gård and Bergsjön are good examples of this commitment.

Christina Rogestam, Chairman of the Board

Multi-year summary

Together with our shareholders, financiers, customers, suppliers and society at large, we look forward to good business opportunities for many years to come.

  • Choosing cost effective management solutions.
  • Maintaining a high level of activity in all stages.
  • Work actively to acquire properties with development potential and create growth by investing, developing, streamline and rationalize the property management.
  • Being a long-term owner that bases its operations on stable cash flows and satisfied customers.

Overall goals

Balder's operations are focused on growth, positive cash flows and increased profit from property management. Balder shall achieve a position in each region whereby the company is a natural partner for potential customers.

Financial goals

Balder's goal is to achieve a stable and good return on equity, while the equity/assets ratio over time shall not be less than 35 per cent and the interest coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.0 times.

Operating goals

The company establishes quantitative and qualitative operating goals based on Balder's strategy, overall goals and financial policy. These are set for both the short-term and long-term. The goals relate to financial targets as well as goals relating to the environment and customer/employee satisfaction.

Dividend policy

Since Balder will prioritise growth, capital structure and liquidity during the next few years, the dividend for the ordinary share will be low or may not be declared at all. The dividend for the preference share amounts to SEK 20.00 per year.

The earning capacity is based on the property portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative expenses.

Balder presents its earning capacity on a twelve-month basis in the table below. It is important to note that the current earning capacity should not be placed on a par with a forecast for the coming 12 months. For instance, the earning capacity contains no estimate of rental, vacancy, currency or interest rate changes.

Balder's income statement is also impacted by the development in the value of the property portfolio as well as future property acquisitions and/or property divestments. Additional items affecting the operating result are changes in the value of derivatives. None of the above has been considered in the current earning capacity.

The earning capacity is based on the property portfolio's contracted rental income, estimated property costs during a normal year as well as administrative expenses. The costs of the interestbearing liabilities are based on the Group's average interest rate level including the effect of derivative instruments. The tax is calculated using the effective tax rate during each period and is estimated to largely consist of deferred tax, which does not affect the cash flow.

The share and owners

Balder has two different Classes of shares quoted on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap; an ordinary Class B share and a preference share.

The company's overall market capitalisation as of 31 December amounted to SEK 39,099m (21,404) and the company had 17,200 shareholders (16,300) at year-end. Balder carried out a directed new issue of 10 million ordinary shares in December, which brought in SEK 1,705m after issue costs. After the issue and as of 31 December, the share capital in Balder amounted to SEK 182,396,852 distributed among 182,396,852 shares. Each share has a quota value of SEK 1.00, of which 11,229,432 shares are of Class A, 161,167,420 of Class B and 10,000,000 preference shares.

Balder has no repurchased ordinary shares, which means that the total number of outstanding ordinary shares amounts to 172,396,852. Each Class A share carries one vote, and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote.

Price development of the ordinary share

The price of the ordinary share was SEK 208.70 (110.25) at year-end, corresponding to a rise of 89 per cent (67) during the year. The increase since 1 January 2006 amounts to 1,409 per cent. This may be compared to EPRA's Property index for Sweden, which rose by 122 per cent during the same period. EPRA's property index for European companies rose with 8 per cent during the same period. At year-end, the number of ordinary shareholders amounted to 9,300 (8,900). During the same period, 67.7 million ordinary shares were traded, equivalent to 270,000 shares per trading day (252,000) or SEK 40m (28) based on the average price during the year. The turnover corresponds to an annual turnover rate of 42 per cent (39) and if Erik Selin Fastigheter AB's shares are excluded, the annual turnover exceeded 70 per cent (60) of the outstanding ordinary shares. The proportion of foreign-owned shares increased by 36 per cent during the year and amounted to 22.1 per cent (16.3).

Equity growth

Equity per ordinary share amounted to

SEK 128.03 (70.10) on 31 December corresponding to an increase of 83 per cent (34) during the year. The net asset value per ordinary share (EPRA NAV) increased during the same period by 84 per cent (43) to SEK 159.14 (86.33). The difference between shareholders' equity and net asset value is that in the net asset value, derivatives and the net of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are reversed. In the past nine years, the net asset value increased by an average of 35 per cent per year (31). The market price/ net asset value ratio was 131 per cent (128) at year-end.

Profit from property management before tax amounted to SEK 1,780m (1,275), which corresponds to an increase of 40 per cent (49) compared to the previous year. In the past nine years, the profit from property management increased by an average of 33 per cent per year. The profit from property management per ordinary share increased by 46 per cent (45) and in the past nine years increased by an average of 23 percent.

Share price development 2006–2015

Balder's share price closed on 30 December 2015 at SEK 208.70, which corresponds to a percentage growth since 1 January 2006 of 1,409 per cent. This may be compared to EPRA's Property index for Sweden, which rose by 122 per cent during the same period. EPRA's Property index for European companies rose by 8 per cent during the same period.

Price development of preference share

The price of the preference share was SEK 312.00 at year-end (350.00), corresponding to a total annual yield, including dividend, of –5.1 per cent. The number of shareholders amounted to about 8,700 (8,400) and 3.3 million shares were traded during the year (3.3), equivalent to just over 13,000 shares per trading day (13,000), corresponding to about SEK 4.5m (4.5), based on the average share price for the year. The annual turnover in the preference share corresponded to 33 per cent (33) of the total number of preference shares.

The preference share carries preferential right over the ordinary share to an annual dividend of SEK 20 with quarterly dividend of SEK 5. Record days for dividend are 10 January, 10 April, 10 July and 10 October. If dividend on the preference share is not paid in time or for a lower amount, the difference shall be added to amounts unpaid, including interest of 14 per cent.

Dividend policy ordinary shareholders

The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend for the ordinary share should be paid for the 2015 financial year. Balder estimates that the best total yield for the ordinary shareholders will be achieved by the dividend remaining low or not declaring a dividend at all in the next few years. Balder will instead continue to grow by investing in existing properties, new construction and acquisition of new properties.

Shareholders

The principal owner in Fastighets AB Balder is Erik Selin Fastigheter AB, which owns 35.9 per cent of the capital and controls 49.5 per cent of the votes. Other large owners are Arvid Svensson Invest AB and Swedbank Robur fonder. At the end of 2015, the total number of shareholders amounted to about 17,200 (16,300). In late 2015, Balder carried out a new issue of 10 million ordinary shares directed towards new shareholders, which brought in SEK 1,705m after issue costs. The issue also provided Balder with a number of new Swedish and foreign shareholders. For existing ordinary shareholders, the issue implied a dilutive effect of 6 per cent of the capital. After the issue, 49 (51) per cent of the capital is held by the Board and Management.

Our customers

Property Management

Today Balder has 27 offices, divided into six regions. In each region, property management is handled by the company's own personnel, who are responsible for letting, operations as well as the environment and maintenance,

Balder has its own management organisation, which enables fast decision-making procedures, proximity to the customer, good local knowledge and the possibility of working on a long-term basis with property management. The company offers a large choice of premises and housing in different locations at various rental rates. The development of the properties takes place in consultation with customers, based on their needs and wishes. Balder's management organisation regularly meets tenants in order to obtain a good view of the actual situation in the properties.

Satisfied customers and customer relationships

Balder creates value for its owners, customers, employees and the community. As part of reaching this goal, a new central function called "Customer relations" has been established. One of the duties of the customer relations group is to conduct a survey to measure customer satisfaction index (NKI). In January 2015, Balder carried out its third NKI in collaboration with AktivBo. The survey was sent out to half of the company's residential tenants and to all commercial tenants.

Balder is continually improving its results both in terms of the perceived service and product. More than 90 per cent of our tenants are happy in their premises and housing. Our customers perceive that we are very accessible; it is easy to get hold of the right person and know who to turn to. It is easy to report faults and the work is performed in a reasonable time with good quality. Our tenants are interested in what is happening in their property and area. One of the items we are now concentrating further on is to inform our tenants more frequently. A

majority of our customers are satisfied with the equipment in their apartments but many want to modernise and be able to personally influence the standard of their accommodation. By offering standardenhancing choices, Balder wants to satisfy this need in all of our locations.

Our goal is to improve quality of life for our residents so that they will be happy and want to stay with Balder for a long time. Correspondingly, on the commercial premises side, it is important to work with the customer's requests in order to satisfy operational needs and improve the potential for increased profitability.

Through its customer surveys, Balder wants to offer the requested product and to be an attractive choice and retain its existing tenants.

Customer service

Customer service is an important function at Balder. Here we take care of the contact with customers so that possible defects and deficiencies can be discovered at an early stage. In order to improve the communication between Balder as a landlord and our customers, we have expanded our customer service and error reporting system with employees who have a broad knowledge of languages, such as Arabic and Somali.

Lease structure

Balder considers that the risk of a sudden deterioration in rental income is low. This

Lease structure 31 December 2015

is due to the lease structure with a good division between commercial properties and residential properties as well as the geographical spread. In order to offset reduced rental income and a weaker occupancy rate, the company strives for long-term relationships with its existing customers.

Balder's ten largest leases represent 6.1 per cent (9.4) of total rental income and their average lease term amounts to 11.1 years (11.1). No individual lease accounts for more than 0.9 per cent (1.5) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 2.7 per cent (4.8) of total rental income. The average lease term for the entire commercial portfolio is 6.3 years (5.9).

The lease structure on 31 December 2015 is shown in the table, in which leases terminated on this date, where removal will or is expected to take place, are recognised as leases maturing within one year.

Organisation and employees

Fastighets AB Balder is a listed property company. The company's journey began in 2005 with about 10 employees and today, just over 10 years' later, Balder has more than 500 employees in the management organisation.

The company's rapid development, is due, among other things, to Balder's committed and knowledgeable employees who create results based on a team spirit and collaboration. We take advantage of each other's strengths and experience and launch new ideas for further development of both the operations and personnel.

To be part of Balder imposes high demands but also provides good development opportunities. Balder has short decision-making paths and an open atmosphere and promotes respect and honesty. We have shared responsibility for creating confidence among our customers and employees.

Balder as an employer

Balder's employees are characterised by a strong drive to develop in their roles and an interest in working in an organisation which stands for a long-term approach, an entrepreneurial spirit and fellow-feeling. Balder creates work satisfaction by allowing employees to participate in the development of their duties and there is a general sense of well-being at the

workplace.

We are proud of not being like the others. At Balder, a new employee's ideas in a spontaneous meeting with the CEO can lead to changes in our solutions and how we work. Through our employees' commitment, competencies and development, we create a culture of diversity with a pleasant atmosphere. The company offers several unique opportunities for our employees to develop in their existing roles and also gives them the chance of later seeking new challenges internally.

Balder's organisation

Balder is continually developing. The latest events, such as the acquired hotel operations in Stockholm and Malmö and the property acquisitions in Finland, have helped to add about 300 new employees to our Group. The management organisation on 31 December consisted of 485 (278) employees and is geographically divided into regions with local offices, which are responsible for letting, operation as well as the environment and property management. In order to

support the management operations, group-wide resources are located in Malmö and at the head office in Gothenburg. At year-end, 37 people (35) worked within these support functions.

Balder's social engagement

Balder continues to be engaged in improving the living environment. During 2015, about 40 young people were employed, resident in these areas, to together work for a safe and pleasant living environment.

The environmental work in the company is continuing. Through our Technology and Sustainability department, we work on a daily basis with environmental improvement measures in order to contribute to a good environment in the long term and a positive climate development.

Veronica

"I am responsible for the Technology and Sustainability department here at Balder. The department is a driving force in our operational development towards the optimal operation of our properties with respect to the environment, costs and satisfied tenants. Before I started at Balder, I worked abroad for a few years, but I really wanted to continue within property management, so when I got the chance to come on board with Balder I took it. No one day is like another and we are on a really exciting journey right now. Balder is unique in my view since it is still a young company, which has not got stuck in ingrained routines. I have many wonderful colleagues and there is always someone who is prepared to share their experience and knowledge. At Balder, people have a positive attitude to change and I like this!"

FASTIGHETS AB BALDER ANNUAL REPORT 2015 19

Sustainable business

Social engagement is a natural part of Balder's work and a way to help promote sustainable social development. Balder engages in these issues both locally and regionally and strives to ensure that people feel comfortable in and around their housing environments. In order to succeed with this, great commitment is required from the employees but as a company we also collaborate with other players. At Balder, we believe that diversity creates economic and social growth in society and thus we regard it as very important to work to create socially-mixed housing areas.

Balder in Huskvarna Söder

During the year, Balder participated in a collaborative project in Huskvarna Söder, where the company owns 230 apartments. The project was initiated by the municipality in order to promote integration and participation in the area. In August, Balder was invited to a meeting to describe its experiences from Vårby Gård, a similar housing area in Stockholm

where Balder successfully, worked on developing the area based on a resident's perspective and local engagement.

Integration is a broad term and foreign origin is just one of several factors that can lie behind people feeling socially excluded. Unemployment and socioeconomic conditions are examples of other factors that can explain a feeling of social exclusion. By creating meeting places and activities for all residents in Huskvarna Söder, it is hoped that the project will improve participation and integration. Two project managers have been employed and several people in the area have been employed during fixed-term periods or to work with special projects aimed at supporting the success of the project. The project is directed towards all residents in Huskvarna Söder but with children and young people aged 10-20 in focus. During the year, collaboration occurred with several organisations in the area and together they have carried out activities and created meeting places so that people can meet across social and

cultural boundaries. Initially, a survey was distributed to the residents in the area to find out if people were happy and what activities were desirable in the area. Based on these answers, a large number of initiatives were started and carried out in the area. In early 2016, statistics were compiled for activities and work performed during 2015. The outcome is intended to be described in the report for the second quarter 2016.

A second chance

Having your own home is a requirement in order to live a secure and independent life. Balder collaborates with organisations that work actively with integration and treatment programmes directed towards children and young adults. A home of one's own and guidance from people with extensive experience of integration and treatment work improves the possibility for a better future. Examples of organisations that Balder collaborates with include Rebo and UngBo.

Balder has been involved for some time in improving residential environments in parts of Stockholm and in Gothenburg. In Bergsjön in, Gothenburg, Balder has employed Amanj Aziz, whose main task is to act as a spokesman and create activities for our tenants in Bergsjön. The participation rate is high and together with the tenants we are working to make Bergsjön more comfortable and secure.

Each Saturday, the door is opened to the gym hall in Backegård school. Some 30 children run in and the mothers come in after them: "Can we stay here a bit longer today?" asks one of them, and of course they can. The gym hall activity started by accident. Some mothers came to us at Balder and pointed out that visits to lekland and other excursions were not financially sustainable every week. They wanted the premises in Bergsjön to be somewhere children could play and parents could see each other, even when it is cold outside. A short telephone call to an incredibly committed management at Backegård school and then the keys were in the hands of our personnel. After that it has progressed smoothly during the autumn and winter.

One autumn Saturday one of the mothers at the same time as the gym doors were about to open said: "My son is looking for a trainee post, is there possibly a place at Balder?" Of course, we were able to help one of our ninth graders in the area. For two weeks he got to join Bergsjöpoolen, a social sustainability project, which Balder operates in Bergsjön. In Bergsjöpoolen, young adults aged from 17-26 are employed and they make huge efforts to help with improvements in the area; they keep order in the refuse room, clean storerooms and garages, seal windows, play with children in the courtyards and much more. "I graduated from high school last summer and was worried about how I would support my family. I have two sons. I was very happy to be able to work so close to home with something I am good at", one of the 15

employees in the project points out.

Bergsjöpoolen has been a huge asset for Balder and at the same time, it has increased the employees' influence and insight into their own housing area. It is not just the employees who appreciate the work but also parents, siblings, friends and acquaintances and they all know that it is part of Balder. This creates a sense of community in the area, which is hard to mistake.

On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Bergsjöpoolen has to quickly vacate its offices. You see the office is used by the area's very determined girls aged 8-13 who point out that no "boys are allowed to participate". They make bracelets, watch films, bake, have gymnastics evenings and lots of other fun.

And that is what you hear when the gym is opened on Saturday evenings – the girls want to have the hall to themselves and also ask if they can have girls evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays. But then the premises are used for driving licence theory courses for all tenants aged over 17. What about Saturday evenings then? No, then the premises are occupied by those aged 18+, when they play Playstation, have theme evenings, lectures, CV assistance... Sundays must surely work, says a girl. No, because Bergsjön's only book group is underway then in the office.

Her mother then says: "Can you not come to lock up at 9 p.m. instead of 8 p.m.? We really enjoy being together in the hall".

Amanj Aziz Communicator

We take environmental responsibility

In 2015, the climate conference in Paris entered history as the meeting when the world agreed on a climate agreement. The politicians have thus given the world a clear direction about a future where after 2050 we should have net emissions, which are zero.

The target has been made tougher so that we should keep well under a 2-degree average rise in temperature. Thus climate researchers eventually convinced the politicians about the gravity of the situation. There is another global outlook now from earlier having regarded the environment and sustainability as a sacrifice to now becoming a necessity. In brief, everyone needs to take their responsibility to stabilise the world's climate and environment, for a sustainable future even for Balder.

In spring, Balder's employees participated in environmental and energy training that partly was a step in the implementation of Balder's environmental management system but also to emphasise the importance of reducing energy consumption and what is important to think about. Read more about Satos environmental resonsibility at www.sato.fi

Energy

During 2015, Balder had energy consumption of 312 million kWh where district heating consumption was the largest item. Properties with a heating system based on fossil-fuels, represent a small share in relation to total consumption. The goal is that during 2017 at the latest, that these properties will have changed over to sustainable heating systems. The area heated by oil has been reduced by 31 per cent during the year. Balder's 10 wind turbines have generated 22.5 million kWh, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of 900 houses.

To achieve an energy reduction, we have to work with the issue at various levels. During the year, Balder drew up an Energy policy that shall be guiding in our continual energy work. The energy policy emphasises that comfort may not suffer in the hunt to save kilowatt hours. To maintain the correct indoor temperature is of great importance for tenant comfort but also for energy consumption when each degree's increase means that the energy need rises by 5 per cent. It can prove problematic to maintain an even temperature of 21°C without large fluctuations in older properties, which are only controlled by the current outdoor temperature. Therefore in some properties, indoor temperature sensors have been installed in representative apartments/rooms where the estimated average temperature regulates how much heat should be pumped into the heating system.

Another measure, is that we are working towards the centralisation of all control systems. This means that we control our installations remotely and quickly detect alarms in the units. This enables safer and more energy efficient operation of Balder's properties. Another measure to achieve high operational safety and a long-term approach is that we choose products, which are robust and energy efficient. We also prioritise stable product suppliers in order to ensure that parts are available in the near future, i.e. the product's estimated minimum life cycle.

Total power consumption

per source, %

The goal for 2015 was to reduce energy consumption in property operation by 3 per cent. The outcome was 1 per cent, which is equivalent to 1.9 million kWh.

Waste

The goal of good waste sorting is to minimise the quantity of waste going to landfill and maximise recycling. The basis of good waste sorting is partly dependent on the conditions of the property but also on our tenants' ambitions. The long-term goal to achieve a sorting rate of 55 per cent is limited to only apply to commercial properties. The sorting rate for 2015 came in at 58 per cent.

The reason for the limited goal is that far from all municipalities weigh household refuse, which means that it is not possible to obtain any follow up figures. Sweden has become very good at reducing the quantity of waste that goes to landfill. In 1975, 62 per cent of Sweden's household refuse went to landfill compared to today's level of less than 1 per cent. The basis for this is that a large proportion of today's waste goes to incineration, which supplies us with district heating. Even if it is not possible today to follow up the sorting rate in residential properties, Balder has a long-term goal that all residential properties should have sorting solutions for waste.

We are taking concrete measures to ensure that all refuse rooms are designed in a way that encourages and facilitates waste sorting. This means that they should be clean, well-labelled, bright and secure. An important aspect is also to inform our tenants about the waste management in the relevant property.

Phase-out substances

The Swedish Chemicals Agency has defined phase-out substances as a substance with particularly hazardous properties according to approved criteria regarding environmental and health consequences e.g. carcinogens or mutagens. The criteria are in line with the EU's chemicals legislation, REACH, Substances of very high concern - SVHC. These are substances, which may be prohibited in the future and that risk becoming the asbestos or PCB problems of the future.

Balder thus wants to systematically avoid introducing phase-out substances into the properties. In the day-to-day operation, this means that the product should either be eco-labelled or checked against an environmental database. In the case where there is no alternative to a product containing some form of phase-out substance, it should be noted with necessary pertaining information in the digital logbook of the property.

Skills development

Having the right competencies in operations is considered to be an important factor for achieving and ensuring resource-efficient property management. In

order to ensure a good level, all property caretakers have therefore participated in internal training in basic building technology. The goal was that everyone should get a basic understanding of the buildings' different functions and connection and the environmental and cost repercussions of operational errors.

Balder Challenge

In the hunt to reduce kilowatt hours, a challenge was started during the spring, the Balder Challenge. The challenge lies in cost-efficiently reducing the energy need in the property while reducing the reporting of climate errors by tenants. This created a major engagement among property managers and caretakers and 21 properties in total were registered to participate in the Balder Challenge. The challenge will continue during all of 2016.

Environmental requirements during new construction

Balder will carry out a large number of new constructions during the next few years. Each new building naturally gives rise to both short-term and long-term environmental impacts and it is therefore completely reasonable to impose environmental demands at an early stage. The

following items show some of the environ mental demands imposed in Balder's new construction projects:

  • Energy class B, means 25 per cent under the National Board of Housing's new building standards.
  • Material and products shall at least meet the standards "acceptable" in Swedish Building Materials Assessment or "B" in SundaHus.
  • Wood and wood-based products shall be certified according to FSC, PEFC or equivalent.
  • Sorting of household waste in every apartment.
  • Maximum 10 per cent weight of building waste to landfill.
  • Water-efficient taps and toilets.
  • Projects are designed in a way so that the tenants prioritise environmentally friendly transport alternatives.

Environmental buildings

Balder has a number of environmentally classified buildings in its portfolio which are certified by GreenBuilding, Sweden Green Building Council or LEED. The most recently acquired property is "Park49" of 7,500 sq. m., which will become Balder's new head office in spring 2016. It is being constructed in order to be certified according to the international environmental system LEED's highest level - Platinum.

entertaining history

The Circus Building in Copenhagen has an exciting history. The building was designed in 1885 by the architect Henrik Wilhelm Brinkopf and was inaugurated in the following year by the German circus king Ernst Renz. The building has a grandiose style and the façade was richly adorned by Fredrik Hammeleff. The motif on the façade pictures horse and racing motifs from ancient Greece and Rome.

"It feels really great to have this distinguished building in our holdings and at the same time we are get to work with a major player in the exciting live entertainment industry"

says Erik Selin, CEO of Fastighets AB Balder.

A popular building under constant change

Until 1910, circus performances were held here but after pressure from the city's theatre owners (that considered that the popular performances were a threat) is was decided that the circus operations could only be conducted during the summer. During the winter months, it housed a cinema instead, by the name World Cinema.

On 17 March 1914, Circus went on fire. The property received severe material damage, but was already renovated in 1915 according to designs by the architect Holger Jacobsen. Not long after that, the Schumann family acquired the building. Under Schumann's management, 1918-1968, the spectacular summer performances were reintroduced, which made the Schumann Circus one the 20th century's brightest stars on the circus horizon.

In 1963, there were plans to demolish Circus and instead build a department store. The property owner and the hypermarket chain ANVA you see wished to compete with the city's well-established chains Illum and Magasin. However, ANVA faced a wave of protests and since the company lacked capital the plans came to nothing.

Due to the high rental rates in the area and ANVA's plans, this created uncertainty during this period about the future of the Circus building. This resulted in the Schumann family winding up its activities in Circus in 1968.

A protected landmark

From 1970 to 1990, the Benneweis family took over the building. Like Schumann, they conducted circus operations during the summer season, but now under the

name Benneweis Circus. The municipality acquired the building in 1974 but the Benneweis family continued its business as tenants. In 1983, they were granted joint management with Tivoli and in 1988, the property was named a protected landmark.

But times change, even for a summer circus in a city like Copenhagen. After more than one hundred years, demand fell and the public began to seek other forms of entertainment. In 1990, the Benneweis family decided to wind up its

Circus today

Circus continues to offer entertainment but today it is primarily musicals, ballet, music festivals and concerts that characterise the property. For a few days in 1996, a bygone era was resurrected when Germany-based Roncalli offered circus entertainment to celebrate Copenhagen being selected as European City of Culture that year.

Since 2003, the property has been let to the Scandinavian entertainment company Wallmans. They offer a well-known and popular "dinner show" concept in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.

In 2014, 2E Group sold the circus property to us at Fastighets AB Balder. The continued operations were secured through a long-term lease.

Today Circus accommodates 1,000 guests and the building's foyer is decorated with posters, photos and programmes of some of the circuses and circus performers who appeared on the circus stage for over a century. For Danes, this historic landmark property is famous for its beautiful architecture, its circular shape and for its domed roof.

The property market

The low interest environment is continuing and the gap between property yields and the lending rate means that the investment climate for properties is still extremely favourable and we continue to see a strong performance in the Swedish property market.

The economic upturn in Sweden is broad and the performance in the Swedish economy is still strong due to the expansionary monetary policy. However, inflation is not gaining momentum and becasue of difficulties in reaching its inflation target, the Riksbank implemeneted further monetary policy easing and support measures. In February 2016, the Riksbank decided to cut the repo rate further to –0.50 per cent.

A continuing low interest environment is contributing to continued rising prices in the property market. The existing imbalance between demand and supply and pressed yield requirements are making investments more expensive in metropolitan markets and during 2015 we have

seen increasing interest for investments in Sweden's larger cities. In several sub-markets, the residential segment is dominating investment interest.

Property transactions

The transaction volume during 2015 amounted to about SEK 140 billion, which is just under the level in 2014, but still a historically high level. Residential, industry and offices each represents a quarter of the transaction volume. The investment interest in retail and hotels is increasing and we continue to see a high sales volume in the community properties segment. In 2016, the supply of properties in attractive locations will probably continue to be low. The

sales side will probably be dominated by property companies that are refining their property portfolios or funds that are approaching their closing point. This also includes municipalities that will divest all or part of their residential holdings in view of the large maintenance costs in the next few years.

Buyers will be basically include everyone; property companies, institutions, Swedish and foreign property funds as well as local property players outside the larger cities.

The volatile stock market performance also points in favour of property and we see a continued strong development in the Swedish property market.

According to IPD Swedish Proper-

ty index, the total yield on property investments amounted to about 14.1 per cent during 2015, a total increase of 6.0 percent compared to 2014. The increase in value was about 8.8 per cent, the highest recorded figure since 2007. The total yield was significantly higher than the average for the past ten years. Offices and residential showed the highest total yields of 16.2 percent and 14.7 per cent, respectively, of which the change in value was just over 10 per cent in both property categories.

Pressed yield requirements together with a positive development in the rental market, with few vacancies in metropolitan areas on the office side and with a housing shortage in most Swedish municipalities, means that investments in new construction have become even more attractive than before.

The services sector is showing stronger growth than industry, which is creating demand for new office properties, particularly in metropolitan areas.

The domestic population increase in Sweden together with the migration of refugees is creating a huge demand for new housing and is further increasing the housing shortage around the country. The regulations surrounding new construction of properties combined with long lead times in planning questions implies a sluggishness that makes it difficult to meet new housing demand in the short term.

The strong investment interest in recent years has meant that many loans have been allocated to properties. The opportunities for property companies to attract capital via stock market listings, new issues, preference share issues, bonds and traditional borrowing are still considered to be good overall despite the uncertain stock market climate. The conditions for property investments in Sweden are still good and a lot of capital is seeking investments in the segment which gurantees another good property year in 2016. Therefore there is also good potential in 2016 to maintain the high transaction volume seen during 2014 and 2015.

The Danish property market

Denmark with its stable economy, fixed-exchange rate policy to the Euro and low interest rates, has proved to be an attractive market for both domestic and foreign capital seeking high security and a positive demographic trend for property investments. Copenhagen occupies a very strong position in the Danish property market.

The overall transaction volume in 2015 amounted to about DKK 51 billion, of which the Copenhagen area accounted for about 75 per cent.

During 2015, the investment interest shifted from the office segment to the residential segment. During 2015, residential properties accounted for 38 per cent of the total transaction volume while office properties came in at 27 per cent.

The housing market

The housing market relating to condominiums showed a very strong price trend in Denmark during 2015. Prices in the entire country rose by 12 per cent in total during 2015 compared to 2014. This is the highest annual price increase since 2006 and prices have now recovered to the level that prevailed before the sharp fall in prices that began in 2007.

The transaction volume rose by almost 23 per cent between 2014 and 2015. This figure is also the highest since 2006.

Copenhagen was the most interesting

area during 2015 and the year was also marked by a new epoch in the apartment market in which prices rose most 17 per cent during 2015. The number of newly constructed apartments also increased sharply during the year.

As the prices of newly constructed apartments are higher than older buildings this has meant a positive overall price trend for all apartments in Copenhagen.

Århus and Ålborg also showed a positive performance in terms of rising prices and construction of new apartments in attractive areas.

The currently low interest rates has great importance for the apartment market and with expectations of continued low interest rates, the condominium market is expected to remain positive, particularly in Copenhagen and other big cities in the next few years.

Average prices in Denmark, DKK/sq. m. (apartment size, 85 sq. m.), 31 December 2015:

Copenhagen DKK 34,000
Århus DKK 27,000
All of Denmark DKK 25,000

Condominiums

A condominium is a form of housing where the owner has direct ownership of the apartment. This is unlike cooperative-, tenant-owner's-, or housing company apartments where the association or company owns the property and has an association loan and the owner of the apartment has a share in the association.

Connected to condominiums is a joint ownership- or condominium association, which is responsible for the common areas in the property.

Condominiums can usually be freely sold or rented out without anyone's approval.

Office market

The rental market in Copenhagen is recovering slowly due to the sluggish increase in employment growth. The vacancy rate for unlet offices in Copenhagen inner city is around 7 per cent and about 10 per cent in greater Copenhagen.

The yield requirement for offices in A locations is about 4.5 per cent, which is lower than ever and reflects the current imbalance between supply and demand for attractive office buildings.

Office rents were stable during 2015 and prime rents tend to lie around 1,500 – 1,800 DKK/sq. m., excluding property tax and operating costs.

Investors are expected to continue to have a strong demand for properties, especially in attractive locations.

The Finnish property market

The Finnish property market differs from the Swedish one in terms of the ownership structure among the larger private players. In Finland, there are currently three large listed property companies compared to about ten large companies in Sweden. The largest property owners in Finland are domestic pension funds and institutions.

The housing market

Urbanisation is increasing rapidly in Finland. Relocation, which is mainly employment-related, means strong housing demand in the larger cities. During the period 1990 – 2014, the population in urban areas increased by 640,000 people.

Living in a rental apartment is a popular form of housing in Finland. In Helsinki, almost half the residents live in a rental apartment. Of the total 2.6 million permanent dwellings in the whole of Finland, rental apartments account for

about 820,000. Of these rental apartments, about half are owned by private investors. Sato, which is a subsidiary of Balder, owns about 7 per cent of all rental apartments in the capital region.

During 2015, the price increase in respect of housing was 3.4 per cent according to KTI Finland.

The prices of apartments and rents have increased in recent years. It is mainly demand for small good value apartments that increased because there is a large proportion of households with one of two persons in the bigger cities. Many housing companies mainly focus on new construction of smaller apartments.

Office market

The sluggish economic growth combined with the increased vacancy rate in most sub-markets is resulting in short-term pressure in the office letting market. Demand in the rental market has continued to cause polarisation with the result that there is a risk of even higher vacancy rates for premises and properties in secondary areas while rents in attractive areas have returned to the level they were at before the downturn last year. The investment market is expected to continue to be active thanks to strong international demand and the relatively attractive yields still generated by Finnish properties.

The yield levels for central office properties in Helsinki mainly lie in the range 4.5 – 7.5 per cent.

In combination with better financing conditions, higher liquidity in the market and expectations of increasing economic growth, it is estimated that property investments can reach levels of around EUR 5 billion next year. Finland has not reached this level since the record years 2006 – 2007.

Balder is continuing to grow and develop. The most important explanations behind Balder's positive development include all the property acquisitions, investments and not least the entire Balder organisation, which manages the investments in the best way. Together with our shareholders, financiers, customers, suppliers and society at large, we look forward to good business opportunities for many years to come.

Residential properties

In 2015, the trend of investing in residential properties has continued to be a very attractive investment. Residential properties generally have a low risk in view of the prevailing housing shortage in essentially all of Sweden and the fact that new apartment construction is not sufficient for current and future needs.

The supply of residential properties in metropolitan areas is low as previously, which has meant that some operators have directed their interest towards properties in the so-called million programme or in residential properties in smaller cities geographically located throughout Sweden. The number of players that have chosen residential properties as an investment object has increased during the year. Foreign buyers have also returned to the Swedish market.

In view of a shrinking transaction market for residential properties and lower yields, Balder has continued its strategy, which means development of existing properties and increased new production of apartments in the longer term. The goal is through the company's own projects to create new and higher property values and better yields than what the existing transaction market can offer in the residential segment.

In Gothenburg and Stockholm, among other cities, work is ongoing with new

detailed development plans, which will mean a broader supply of apartments. Traditional apartment blocks are mixed with other forms of housing, such as smaller terraced houses and tenant-owner's apartments. This means that Balder creates more efficient use of existing land and that areas become more attractive from a residential perspective.

Balder has acquired a property in Mölndal, Bastuban 1 of 47,000 sq.m. commercial floor space and 90,000 sq. m. ground area. The property is classified in Balder as a real estate project and the goal in the first instance is to plan and convert offices into apartments.

In Copenhagen, about 120 apartments were completed for occupation during 2015 and a further about 1,000 apartments are under construction.

Associated companies

In order to boost the volume of newly constructed apartments, Balder apart from under its own management, wants to also create the possibility for an even greater increase in the volume of apartments together with a number of strong partners.

Together with the Third Swedish National Pension Fund, Balder has formed a company for investments in new construction of rental properties in the three metropolitan regions and growth areas with a positive population trend.

During the year, Balder became a part-owner of Brinova Properties AB together with Backahill AB, among other players. Brinova Fastigheter AB had property holdings of about SEK 1 billion at year-end. The goal is to expand the property portfolio in residential, public and commercial properties, particularly in southern Sweden.

During the year, Balder became a part-owner of Tornet Bostadsproduktion, which concentrates on construction of tenancy rights for long-term ownership. Other shareholders in Tornet are Peab, Folksam and Riksbyggen. At present,

the property portfolio includes about 700 apartments and there is ongoing projects/construction of a further about 700 apartments.

Together with K-Fastigheter, Balder during 2015 has completed the construction of 128 apartments in Västerhaninge, Stockholm and in Nynäshamn. New construction of apartments is ongoing in Helsingborg, among other places. More information about Balder's associated companies is available on pages 50-52.

While Balder has increased its holdings of residential properties through new production, a number of properties were divested during the year. This mainly occurred in cities where Balder does not have any local management unit or where the property portfolio is too small to get efficient management. Divestments of all properties were completed in Skultorp and Tidaholm and also after year-end of all properties in Skara and Töreboda.

According to the IPD Swedish Property

Index, investments in residential properties displayed an annual, average total yield of about 9.0 per cent during the past five-year period. The total yield includes increases in value together with the annual yield.

In 2015, residential property sales amounted to about SEK 35 billion. The ten largest transactions accounted for approximately SEK 12 billion, in other words 34 per cent.

A more detailed description of the transactions is available on pages 36-38.

Estimated and recorded yield values and price levels for residential properties in A locations were as follows:

sq.m. , SEK
Stockholm 1.25 – 1.50 50,000 – 60,000

Commercial

properties

A continued low interest rate level with an expected negative repo rate until late 2017, meant that the market for commercial properties in Sweden was still very good even during 2015.

Yield requirements have fallen further, particularly in big cities. Demand for acquiring properties was greater than supply in the market, as a result of a sharp increase in capital inflows from non-European players, among other factors. The opportunities were also good in Sweden both in terms of traditional bank financing and financing via new issues and bonds.

Balder also continued its strategy of reducing its property holdings in less central areas in the Stockholm region and in locations where Balder does not have representation in the form of a local office or its own property management personnel. For a number of years, the focus instead has been on acquiring and owning commercial properties in central parts of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. During the year, a central property was acquired in Gothenburg, among other things.

The structural work on refining the commercial property portfolio during 2015 meant that Balder was a net seller of commercial properties. This is a deliberate strategy in view of the fact that it was easlier to sell properties in slightly less central areas and locations than to acquire in the priority locations for Balder.

As shown in the Residential properties section on pages 32-33, a shift occurred during the year in relation to investments from commercial properties to more apartment construction projects, collaboration with associated companies and investments in existing property companies such as the Finnish property company Sato Oyj.

The portfolio of hotel properties has been supplemented with a property in Stockholm. In addition, a property was acquired in central Copenhagen, which will be converted to a hotel and is expected to be ready in early 2017. The total number of hotel contracts amounts to 32 and the hotel portfolio now includes about 5,200 rooms in total. For some years Balder has viewed the hotel segment as an attractive investment area. The yield requirement has been higher than most other property categories and interest from other property companies has not been so strong. Balder has grown to become the second largest player in hotel properties in Sweden. During 2015, interest for hotel properties increased very sharply and the number of players that want to invest in hotel properties includes both Swedish and foreign property companies as well as institutional investors. The interest for hotel properties has meant that yields have fallen to levels approaching central office properties in Sweden's metropolitan areas.

Demand for central office properties is still good. Vacancy levels in Stockholm and Gothenburg amount to just under 4 per cent, which means the same levels as during 2014. In Malmö, the vacancy rate is higher and came in at around 8.5 per cent. An increase occurred in 2015 of about 2 percentage points, mainly due to new production of office properties in Västra Hamnen.

Balder has an experienced and competent letting organisation that continually works with letting vacant premises while finding solutions for premises issues for

potential tenants. Balder's economic occupancy rate for commercial properties was 93 per cent (93) at year-end.

According to the IPD Swedish Property Index, investments in commercial properties displayed an annual, average total yield of approximately 9.8 per cent during the past five-year period. The total yield includes increases in value together with the annual yield.

During 2015, the transaction volume did not really meet the same level as in 2014. According to NAI Svefa, commercial property turnover was SEK 105m during 2015, compared to SEK 114m during 2014. The ten largest transactions accounted for approximately SEK 36 billion, in other words almost 34 per cent.

The value of Balder's property holdings in Stockholm's inner city amounted to about SEK 7.4 billion, which corresponds to 67 per cent of the total value of its commercial properties in the region. Balder's average value per sq.m. for office properties with central locations in Stockholm amounts to approximately SEK 58,000.

The equivalent figures in Gothenburg are SEK 6.1 billion and 68 per cent, and SEK 2.2 billion and 68 per cent in Malmö. The average value per sq.m. for office properties with central locations in Gothenburg amounts to approximately SEK 36,000 and to approximately SEK 30,000 in Malmö.

A more detailed description of the transactions is available on pages 36-38.

Estimated and recorded yield values and price levels for residential properties in A locations were as follows:

Stockholm 3.75 – 4.00 80,000 – 100,000

Transactions

2015 was dominated by the new construction of apartments in Copenhagen and the acquisition of 53 per cent of the shares in the Finnish property company Sato Oyj. Divestments of commercial properties in smaller cities and in suburbs of big cities also continued in 2015.

The transaction market in Sweden was very strong in recent years with rising property prices as a consequence. Balder has therefore chosen to diversify its property holdings to the other Nordic markets in order not be concentrated towards one market. On 31 December, Balder had about 45 per cent of its property value outside Sweden.

Acquisitions

During the year, Balder gradually acquired shares in the residential housing company Sato Oyj and became the majority owner on 30 December with 53 per cent of the capital and votes. Through the majority ownership, Sato's balance sheet is consolidated, corresponding to a property value of about SEK 26 billion. Sato only owns residential properties, of which about 80 per cent are located in Helsinki and the remainder are in Finnish growth regions and in St Petersburg. For more information about Sato Oyj, see page 39. During 2015, Balder also realised the investments in new construction projects that the company initiated some years ago. Balder today has about 1,000 apartments under construction in Copenhagen, equivalent to a project value of about SEK 3,000m. All apartments that are built are divided into condominiums, which means that they can be sold individually. However, Balder has not sold any apartments but will choose to rent them out to create a portfolio of residential properties in Copenhagen. The apartments will be completed between 2016-2018.

Divestments

Balder's strategy is to own commercial properties in the central parts of the Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö metropolitan areas. In 2015, Balder thus continued to divest properties in the suburbs of big cities and in smaller cities. During 2015, Balder sold commercial properties in these areas for a sales total of SEK 1,613m. Balder has also elected to divest residential properties in places where the company cannot sustain a sufficiently large management unit. During the year, Balder agreed to sell all its properties in Skara and Töreboda. The divestments carried out generated a profit of SEK 65m, equivalent to a selling price of 5 per cent above the carrying amount.

Sato Oyj

In 2015, Balder gradually acquired shares in Sato Oyj and reached 53 per cent as of 30 December, which means that Sato is consolidated in Balder's balance sheet for 2015.

On 1 April 2015, Balder carried out its first acquisition of shares in Sato Oyj, which is Finland's second largest housing company, equivalent to 21 per cent of the outstanding shares and voting rights.

Balder has subsequently gradually acquired more shares in Sato. On 30 December, Balder acquired a further 22.9 per cent of the outstanding shares and votes, and together with the previous total holdings of shares and votes, which amounted to 30.4 per cent, means that Balder owns 53.3 per cent in total of the outstanding shares and votes and therefore has consolidated Sato from 31 December 2015. The company's earnings during the year are recognised in Balder as profit from participations in associated companies.

Sato is a property company, which has high-quality properties in excellent locations that complement Balder's existing operations and property portfolio. The number of employees in Sato amounted to 170 people on 31 December, of which

110 were women. Sato owns just over 23,000 apartments. 80 per cent of the properties are located in Helsinki and the remainder in Tampere, Oulu, Turku, Jyväskylä and St. Petersburg. Sato's property value has developed positively in recent years through acquisitions and construction under its own management. Sato has more than 1,200 rental apartments under construction and 545 rental apartments were completed during 2015.

The housing market in Finland consists of 2.6 million apartments, of which two thirds are condominiums and one third are rental apartments. Sato's share of the rental market is about 3 per cent. The largest owners in the Finnish market are insurance companies, pension funds and municipalities, where the municipalities usually own apartments for social purposes. Demand for smaller apartments exceeds supply, especially in the Helsinki region. Sato's apartments have an average area of 57 sq. m. For more information, visit Sato's website www.sato.fi

Bovieran's housing is a unique concept for those aged 55+ that stands for experience, security and social fellowship.

The Riviera as a source of inspiration

Bovieran plans, develops and builds concept properties in the form of tenant-owner's apartments for senior residents.

The company was founded in 2005 and the first tenant-owners moved in to Bovieran in Partille during summer 2009. In 2013, the collaboration with Balder began and from spring 2015, Bovieran AB became 100%-owned by Balder. The winter garden is Bovieran's natural meeting place and offers a shared space without rain and snow clearing.

Security in focus

All Bovieran facilities are completely identical and consist of 48 tenant-owner's apartments. The property is built in a U-shape featuring a 1,600 sq.m. glazed-in winter garden in the middle.

Since its inception, 13 Bovieran facilities have been built throughout central Sweden. To date, the concept has been a success and more establishments are in progress. For more information, visit Bovieran's website www.bovieran.se

Property and project development

Balder considers that it is important in property development transactions to be able to control the entire value chain, from acquisition of land to completion of the project.

During the year, Balder continued the work on building up its operations and expanding the property development organisation. A large number of detail development plans are ongoing, including densification and development of the existing property portfolio, externally acquired real estate projects and municipal land allocations. The ambition over time is to create an extensive portfolio of building rights relating to development properties and real estate projects, with the goal of producing a large number of new apartments annually ‒ both rental apartments and tenant-owner's apartments in Stockholm, Gothenburg and the Öresund region.

In 2015, we started construction of

650 apartments and we have more than 1,000 apartments in total under construction.

Property development will mainly concentrate on residential projects. Commercial property development will concentrate on supporting housing projects and will be a part of the requirements for new detailed development plans. Through active property development, the ambition is to participate in changes to city districts, as well as individual property's conditions or use and thereby create value. By improving the existing property portfolio, land allocations and acquisitions, Balder wants to be a long-term player in property and urban development.

Where Balder is already a property owner, the company will focus on creating new building rights on existing land. Where there are opportunities for conversions to tenant-owner's associations, they will be evaluated. Our ambition is to invest in areas where we already operate, with a main emphasis on Stockholm, Gothenburg and the Öresund region, including Copenhagen.

Balder considers that it is important in property development transactions to be able to control the entire value chain, from acquisition of land to completion of a project. The development process occurs in different phases and can take several years, and therefore it is important that it proceeds in close cooperation with municipalities and other stakeholders.

Planned projects

Stockholm

In the property Gladan 3 on Kungsholmen in Stockholm, Balder plans to replace the existing office property with about 100 new tenant-owner's apartments, premises and a pleasant inner courtyard on the ground floor. The design of the building is in harmony with the existing character of the building and will be horseshoe-shaped with various ceiling heights up to 11 floors. The strategic position in Stockholm, the good communications and proximity to the water creates an exclusive form of housing. The detailed development plan is expected to be adopted in early 2017.

Copenhagen

Only a stone's throw from Amager Strand, Balder is constructing 450 apartments in the new Öresunds Park district, which is also called Copenhagen's Riviera. Construction of the project has started and will be completed in phases featuring a mixed development. The design is characterised by good Danish architecture.

The proximity to the seashore and lagoon offers both relaxation and an active life where a multitude of sporting activities and cultural activities are arranged. Meanwhile, Copenhagen's rich urban life is within a walking distance ‒ an exclusive and unique form of housing. The district is expected to be finished in 2018.

During 2015, Balder acquired a real estate project in Örestad "Örestad 321", which is located in Copenhagen's most modern and expansive area. There is also an extensive view from the apartments over green meadows and pastures. Construction of the 156 rental apartments has begun and the project is expected to be ready for occupation during summer 2017.

Gothenburg

When Gothenburg celebrates 400 years in 2021, 7,000 new apartments will be ready, apart from the regular housing construction.

The initiative has been named BoStad2021 and is part of Gothenburg 400-year jubilee with the aim of making Gothenburg into an even better city.. The initiative is a unique collaborative project where the City of Gothenburg and the business community are partnering to increase the construction rate, achieve a better mix, more accessibility and create good value apartments in a children-friendly, dense and green city.

Of the 7,000 apartments, which is the adopted target for the initiative, Balder's share is just over 1,000 apartments, distributed among four areas – Södra Bergsjön, Svartedalen, Västra Frölunda and Majorna.

In Södra Bergsjön, Balder will construct about 150 apartments, of which about 75 are terraced houses. One of the goals is to increase comfort in the area and create opportunities for getting on the housing ladder through varied development. The detailed development plan is expected to be adopted during 2017.

In Svartedalen along Långströmsgatan, Balder is planning to construct about 350 apartments in varied development in the form of tower and slab blocks. The area borders the spacious Långström park area and has a central and attractive location at Hisingen. Nursery schools will be built

in the area. The detailed development plan is expected to be adopted during 2017.

At Munspelsgatan i Västra Frölunda, Balder is planning to construct about 450 apartments, mainly tenant-owner's rights adjacent to Balder's existing property holdings, the so-called Stjärnhusen (star-shaped buildings). Proximity to the sea towards the west and Frölunda Torg make the area attractice. The detailed development plan is expected to be adopted during 2017.

Next to Älvsborgsbron in Majorna, Balder in collaboration with HSB is developing the old Fixfabriken, which is a wellknown landmark in Gothenburg. Part of the area is included in the Jubilee initiative with 500 tenant-owner's apartments in a picturesque environment where half of the apartments are Balder's. The area is located in one of the most attractive areas of Gothenburg.

Property valuation

Balder's property portfolio consists of almost 1,200 properties, of which over 1,000 are residential properties.

The market value of Balder's properties reflects the future cash flow that is computed at present value using a yield requirement. The more predictable the future cash flow, of course the easier it is to determine the market value of the properties. The cash flows of residential properties are usually very predictable as the income is divided among a large number of tenants, which makes it easy to determine at what rent it will be let out at again in the event of a vacancy. Balder's commercial leases have an average lease term of 6.3 years. The 10 largest leases represent 6.1 per cent of the total rental income, with an average lease term of 11.1 years. These circumstances mean that a large number of Balder's future cash flows that make up the future market value are known.

The properties in Balder where the future cash flow is least predictable are mainly concentrated towards the central areas of the large cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. It is in those properties that we are most dependent on future lettings. But it is also there that we have to make an estimate in our valuations of what rent a premises can be let out for again in the event it becomes vacant. The big cities offer good transparency with comparative rental rates, which means that rental rates can be determined with great certainty. However, the time of further letting is more difficult to determine, which means that we have to make an assessment based on market demand, historical interest, similar premises etc. An estimate is also made of the future development of the immediate surroundings as well as the position of the property within its market segment.

The value of the properties is based on internal valuations. The rental trend for the property portfolio is expected to follow inflation over time. Commercial leases include indexation, which means that the rent develops at the same rate

as the CPI, consumer price index, during the leasing period. Residential properties have historically developed a little better than the CPI, but in its valuations, Balder has assumed that the rent develops in line with inflation. The total rental value amounted to SEK 5,257m on 31 December 2015.

Operating and maintenance payments

Assumptions have been made regarding future operating and maintenance payments. These assumptions are based on historic outcomes and future projections as well as estimated standardised costs. Operating and maintenance costs are adjusted upwards each year by inflation.

Yield requirement and cost of capital

Yield requirements and the cost of capital used in the valuation model have been derived from comparable transactions in the property market. Important factors in choosing a yield requirement are location, rental rate, vacancy rate and the condition of the property. Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. The uncertainty in respect of individual properties is normally considered to be in the range of +/– 5–10 per cent. Balder continually monitors the transactions that are completed in the market in order to substantiate and guarantee internal valuations. Balder also conducts continual discussions with external actors regarding acquisition and divestment of properties, which provides additional guidance.

On 31 December, Balder's average yield amounted to 5.4 per cent (5.5). The yield requirement for commercial properties amounted on average to 5.3 per cent (5.7) and to 5.4 per cent (5.1) for residential properties.

Change in value of the property portfolio

In 2015, Balder acquired properties for SEK 2,183m (7,059) in total. In addition to this, the acquisition of Sato Oyj contributed to an increase in the property portfolio of SEK 26,477m. Divestments during the year amounted to SEK 1,613m (1,114), which generated a profit of SEK 65m (144). According to Balder's internal valuation, the carrying amount of the properties at year-end amounted to SEK 68,456m (37,382), which corresponds to an unrealised change in value of SEK 3,323m (2,906). The largest share of the market value is found in the Stockholm, Helsinki and Gothenburg regions, which combined represent a property value of SEK 46,032m.

External valuations

In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued during the year. During the fourth quarter of 2015, Balder externally valued about one third of its properties including Sato's property holdings. The external valuations were less than 1 per cent lower than Balder's internal valuation at year-end. The external valuations were carried out during the year by Newsec and JLL. Historically, deviations between Balder's internal and external valuations have been insignificant.

Financing

Balder finances itself through loan capital and equity. The goal is that the equity/ assets ratio shall exceed 35 per cent over time, which means that we finance ourselves with at least 35 per cent equity and not more than 65 per cent loan capital.

Balder's largest asset class is residential properties, which are characterised by stable cash flows over time as the tenant risk is spread over a large number of payers. This also means that residential properties can be pledged to a higher degree than commercial properties by virtue of security in the cash flow. Today Balder has more than 60 per cent of its property value in residential properties and the majority of the other properties are commercial properties located in the central parts of the Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö metropolitan areas. The location of the assets forms a central part of lenders' credit risk assessments. Other important factors include diversification in the form of geography and asset class. Balder has chosen to own residential properties in Copenhagen and Helsinki in order not to be concentrated towards one market. Today about 45 per cent of the

property value is located in these cities and a few other growth areas in Finland. Although we so far have chosen to concentrate to date on residential properties outside Sweden, the assets in Sweden are more diversified in the form of office, hotel, retail and residential properties.

Balder has no official assessment of its credit risk through an external rating, but Balder's subsidiary Sato has an external rating from Moody's of Baa3, which corresponds to Investment Grade.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Of Balder's total financing, about 25 per cent consists of capital market financing and the remainder is bank financing and state subsidised loans, where the latter are raised in Finland. Balder's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 41,063m on 31 December. The secured liabilities in relation to total assets amounted to

42.2 per cent (50.6) as of 31 December. On the same date, the net loan-to-value ratio was 52.3 per cent (55.2). The net loan-to-value ratio is calculated as net interest-bearing liabilities divided by net total assets. Balder's fixed credit term amounted to 4.4 years (4.3), the interest rate refixing period was 2.9 years (2.3) and the average interest rate amounted to 2.2 per cent including the effect from interest rate derivatives

Net financial items

Net financial items, excluding changes in the value of interest rate derivatives, amounted to SEK –437m (–531), which was a result of larger average debt, however, the average interest rate was lower during the year. At year-end, Balder's average interest rate was 2.2 per cent (2.6).

Financial policy

The financial operations at Balder are conducted in accordance with the goals that the Board establishes annually in the financial policy. The goals are set in order to limit the financial risks that Balder is exposed to, which mainly relate to interest, refinancing and liquidity risk. The overall goals of the financial policy are:

  • to secure the supply of short-term and long-term capital,
  • that the equity/assets ratio should not be less than 35 per cent over time,
  • that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 2.0 times.

Liquidity

Balder utilises credit facilities in order to balance its liquidity needs. At year-end, Balder's available liquidity amounted to SEK 1,339m (806), which was composed of cash and cash equivalents, unutilised

credit facilities and financial investments. Apart from the available liquidity, Balder, at year-end had credit facilities of SEK 4,745m, of which SEK 4,545m were unutilised. Balder also has credit facilities that fully cover future payments for ongoing new construction projects. Balder's cash flow is relatively evenly distributed during the year as about 70 per cent of the rental income relates to residential rents, which are paid monthly. Remaining rents are mainly paid quarterly.

Opportunities and risks

All business activity is associated with risks and these may affect the company negatively but they may also create opportunities. Balder works actively with diversification of risks as regards type of property, geographical distribution and customer composition in order to limit the company's risk exposure.

Rental income, rental trend and occupancy rate

Of Balder's contracted rental income, 64 per cent relates to residential properties and 36 per cent to premises. The company's income is affected by the occupancy rate of the properties, the possibility of charging market-related rents as well as customers' payment capacity. If the occupancy rate or rental rates change, irrespective of the reason, Balder's results are affected. Naturally, the risk of large fluctuations in vacancies and loss of rental income increases the more large individual tenants a property company has. Balder's ten largest leases represent 6.1 per cent of total rental income and their average lease term amounts to 11.1 years. No individual lease accounts for more than 0.9 per cent of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 2.7 per cent of total rental income. There are no guarantees that Balder's major tenants will renew or extend their leases when they expire, which in the longer term can lead to altered rental income and vacancies. The dependence on individual tenants decreases in line with Balder's continued growth through acquisitions. In order to limit the risk of falling rental income and a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships

with the company's existing customers. Balder's leases are normally wholly or partly linked to the consumer price index, in other words, wholly or partly adjusted for inflation.

Balder is dependent on tenants paying agreed rents in time. In some leases, the tenant's obligations are guaranteed by the parent company or through bank guarantees. The risk still remains that tenants will suspend their payments or in other respects will not fulfil their obligations. If this happens, Balder's results could be affected negatively.

Unlike commercial properties, residential properties are covered by regulations which among other things mean that the so-called utility value principle determines the setting of the rent.

At year-end, Balder had an economic occupancy rate of 96 percent, which means that the vacancy at year-end amounted to SEK 182m and represents an opportunity for potential new lettings. The table above shows how profit before tax would be affected by a change of +/– 1 per cent in the rental level and +/– 1 per cent in the economic occupancy rate.

Operating and maintenance costs

Operating costs mainly consist of costs that are based on usage such as electricity, cleaning, water and heating costs.

Several of these goods and services can only be purchased from one supplier, which can affect the price. To the extent that possible cost increases are not compensated by adjustments of leases or increases in rent through renegotiation of leases, Balder's results can be affected negatively. Maintenance costs include measures aimed at maintaining the standard of the properties in the long term. These costs are expensed to the extent they constitute repairs and replacement of smaller areas. Other additional expenses of a maintenance character are capitalised in connection with the expense arising. Unforeseen and extensive repair needs may also affect the results negatively.

Property development

One way to increase returns is to construct new properties and develop existing ones through investments. The risks in property development projects include assessments about the rental market trend, but also the design of the product and the execution of the project itself. These risks are limited by only making investments in markets where Balder has good market knowledge, and where there is a strong demand for residential and commercial properties. Quality-assured internal processes and a high level of competency in the project organisation ensure that high quality is maintained in the execution and product and that sustainability requirements are met. During new construction of buildings, demands are always imposed that a large part of the property should be let before the investment begins. The majority of ongoing projects therefore have a high occupancy rate.

Change in value of the properties

83 per cent of the value of Balder's property portfolio is found in the four metropolitan regions Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Öresund. Balder's investment properties are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet and changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. Unrealised changes in value do not affect the cash flow. Balder carries out an internal valuation of the property portfolio in connection with quarterly reports. Parts of the property portfolio are also externally valued and compared to the internal valuation.

The value of the properties is affected by a number of factors including property-specific factors such as occupancy rate, rental value and operating costs as well as market-specific factors such as yield requirements and the cost of capital.

Both property-specific and market-specific changes affect the value of investment properties, which in turn impacts the Group's financial position and results.

Dependence on key people

Balder's future growth is dependent on the knowledge, experience and commitment of the Management team and other key people. The company could be affected negatively if one or more of these people would leave the Group.

Operational risks

Balder can incur losses within the framework of its operating activities due to defective routines or irregularities. Good internal control, appropriate administrative systems, skills development and good access to reliable valuation and risk models provide a good basis for reducing operational risks. Balder continually works on monitoring the company's administrative security and control.

Taxes and changed legislation

Changes in corporate and property taxes, as well as other government levies, rent allowance and interest allowance can affect the basis for Balder's operations. It cannot be ruled out that tax rates will change in the future or that other changes will occur in the state system that affect real estate ownership. In most leases, the customer pays his share of the currently charged property tax. Changes in corporate taxation and other governmental levies, may affect Balder's results. A change in tax legislation or practice which implies changes in possibilities of making tax write-offs or utilising loss carry-forwards, for example, can mean a change in Balder's future tax situation and can thereby also impact results.

Financial risks

Balder's operations are mainly financed by equity and loans from external lenders. The relationship between equity and liabilities is managed on the basis of the chosen level of financial risk and the amount of equity needed to meet lenders' requirements for securing loans at market-related conditions. The financing via loans means that Balder is exposed to financing, interest rate and credit risks. Financing conditions include requirements as regards the equity/assets ratio, loan-to-value ratio and interest coverage ratio.

Refinancing risk

Refinancing risk refers to the risk that financing cannot be secured at all, or only at a significantly increased cost. Balder conducts continual discussions with banks and credit institutions aimed at securing the long-term financing. Balder cooperates closely with a handful of lenders in order to secure the company's long-term capital requirements.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the risk that changes in the level of interest rates will affect Balder's financing expense. The interest expense is Balder's single

largest cost item. Interest expenses are mainly affected by the current level of the market rate of interest and the credit institutions' margins and by what strategy Balder chooses for interest rate refixing periods. Market rates of interest are mainly affected by the expected inflation rate. In times of rising inflation expectations, the interest rate level can be expected to rise, which immediately increases the interest expense on loans with short maturities.

Balder has a large proportion of loans which run according to short interest rate refixing periods. Balder deploys interest rate derivatives as part of its interest risk management, in order to achieve preferred interest rate refixing periods.

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk that Balder's counterparties cannot fulfil their financial obligations towards Balder. Credit risk in the financial operations arises during investment of excess liquidity, on entering into interest rate swap contracts and in connection with issued credit agreements. As regards Balder's trade receivables, customary credit checks are carried out before a new lease is entered into.

Currency risk

Balder owns properties via subsidiaries in Denmark and in Finland. Companies' revenue and costs are in local currency and are thereby exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates from a Group standpoint. Currency risk also arises in translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries to the currency of the parent company.

Environmental risk

Property management and property development have an environmental impact. Balder has established an environmental policy and works actively with environmental issues. Under the Environmental Code, the party conducting an activity which has contributed to pollution is also responsible for after-treatment. If the party conducting the activity cannot carry out or pay for the after-treatment of a property, the party acquiring the property and that on the acquisition date was aware of or that should have then discovered the pollution, is responsible. Since Balder mainly owns residential, office and retail properties, this risk is considered limited.

Report of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors and CEO of Fastighets AB Balder (publ), corporate identity number 556525-6905, hereby submit the accounts of the Group and the Parent Company for the financial year 2015. Fastighets AB Balder is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Large Cap segment. The company has approximately 17,200 shareholders (16,300). Comparisons stated in parenthesis refer to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Operations

Balder's business concept is to create value by acquiring, developing and managing residential properties and commercial properties based on local support and to create customer value by meeting the needs of different customer groups for premises and housing.

Balder shall aim to achieve such a position in each region whereby the company is a natural partner for potential customers that are in need of new premises and/or housing. Growth should occur on the basis of continued profitability and positive cash flows.

Financial goals

Balder's goal is to achieve a stable and good return on equity, while the equity/ assets ratio over time shall not be less than 35 per cent and the interest coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.0 times. The outcome in 2015 was 34.1 per cent and 5.1 times, respectively. Including Collector at market value, the equity/assets ratio was 37.8 per cent.

Organisation

Balder's business areas consist of the regions Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Öresund, East and North, which are made up of 17 areas. The regional organisations follow the same basic principles but differ depending on the size and property holdings of each region. Regional offices are responsible for letting, operation, environmental matters and technical management.

The Balder Group, with Fastighets AB Balder as Parent Company, is composed of a large number of limited liability companies and limited partnership companies. Balder's operational organisation is supported by central accounting, property management and finance functions. The Group had a total of 647 employees (313) on 31 December, of whom 310 (110) were women.

Balder's Management team is composed of six people, of whom one is a woman. For information regarding approved guidelines for remuneration to senior executives, see Note 4, Employees and personnel expenses. The Board will not propose any changes in the guidelines to the Annual General Meeting 2016.

Significant events during the financial year

During the year, Balder acquired 53.3 per cent of Sato Oyj, Finland's second largest housing company. Collector AB, an associated company to Balder, was listed during the summer. Balder's participating interest amounted to 44.1 per cent after the listing.

Acquisitions

The largest transaction during the year was the gradual acquisition of shares in the housing company Sato Oyj. On 30 December, Balder became the majority owner with 53.3 per cent of the capital and votes. Through the majority ownership, Sato's balance sheet is consolidated, corresponding to a property value of about SEK 26 billion. Sato only owns residential properties, of which about 80 per cent are located in Helsinki and the reaminder in growth regions in Finland and in St Petersburg, see Note 32, Business combinations. The acquisition was partly financed by a directed new issue of 10 million ordinary shares.

At the start of the year, the property Stockholm Snöflingan 3 was acquired for SEK 668m. The property was completed in 2009 and has a lettable area of about 22,000 sq. m. distributed among 280 rooms and a restaurant. Courtyard by Marriott Stockholm runs the operations.

During the third quarter, the property Mölndal Bastuban 1 was acquired, which today has SCA as the main tenant. The property is classified as a real estate project and Balder's ambition is to develop the property together with Mölndals Stad, for residential purposes in the first instance. It was acquired for SEK 365m and the lettable area is 47,000 sq. m. The site area amounts to almost 90,000 sq. m.

During the year, a number of properties were acquired for project development in Copenhagen.

Divestments

Balder's strategy for a number of years has been to divest properties in places where the company cannot sustain a sufficiently large management unit. During the year, all 13 properties in Tidaholm were divested and a further 10 properties around Sweden. Balder divested properties for about SEK 1,613m during the year. The divestments carried out generated a profit of SEK 65m, equivalent to 5 per cent above the carrying amount.

Other

A directed new issue of 10 million ordinary shares was completed in December, which brought in SEK 1,705 million after issue costs.

The property portfolio

Balder's commercial properties are mainly located in the central areas of big cities and the residential properties are located in big cities and in places that are growing and developing positively.

On 31 December, Balder owned 1,177 investment properties (486) with a lettable area of 3,430,000 sq.m (2,177,000) with a carrying amount of SEK 68.5 billion (37.4), including project real estate. During the year, 714 investment properties (37) with a lettable area of approximately 1,405,000 sq.m. (330,000) were acquired for SEK 28,660m (7,059). 23 properties (41) were divested during the year with a total lettable area of 108,000 sq.m. (139,000) for SEK 1,613m (1,114), which generated a profit of SEK 65m (144). In 2016, Balder will continue the work on consolidating its property portfolio.

When allocating carrying amounts by region, Helsinki amounted to 31 per cent (–), Stockholm to 20 per cent (34), Gothenburg 20 per cent (33), Öresund 12 per cent (18), East 14 per cent (11) and North 3 per cent (5). Of the carrying amounts, 36 per cent (62) related to commercial properties and 64 per cent (38) to residential properties.

Earnings

Profit from property management for the year amounted to SEK 1,780m (1,275), which corresponds to SEK 9.71 per ordinary share (6.64). The increase was primarily due to changes in the property portfolio. The profit from property management includes SEK 457m (195) in respect of associated companies, which is included in the income statement in participations in profits from associated companies. Net profit for the year after tax amounted to SEK 4,916m (3,128), corresponding to SEK 28.98 per ordinary share (18.10).

The result was impacted by realised changes in value in respect of properties of SEK 65m (144), unrealised changes in value of properties of SEK 3,323m (2,906), changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives of SEK 227m (–624) and profit from participations in associated companies of SEK 831m (317).

The Group's rental income amounted to SEK 2,711m (2,525) during the year. The leasing portfolio was estimated to

have a rental value on 31 December of SEK 5,257m (2,885) on a full-year basis. The average rental level for the entire property portfolio amounted to 1,508 SEK/sq.m. (1,325). The increase in the average rental level was mainly due to changes in the property portfolio. The rental income shows a considerable diversification of risks as regards tenants, sectors and locations.

The economic occupancy rate amounted to 96 per cent (95) on the closing date. On 31 December, the total rental value for unlet areas amounted to SEK 182m (155) on a full-year basis.

Property costs amounted to SEK 767m (760) during the year. The increase in property costs was mainly due to the change in the property portfolio and a mild winter with very little snow. Net operating income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 1,944m (1,766), which provided a surplus ratio of 72 per cent (70).

Net financial items, excluding changes in value of derivatives amounted to SEK –437m (–531) and changes in value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 227m (–624). The positive change in value during the year was due to a rise in the level of interest rates which means that the difference in relation to the contracted interest rate level of interest rate derivatives has decreased.

Derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet and changes in value are recognised in the income statement without using hedge accounting. Changes in value from derivatives arise in the event of changed interest-rate levels and do not affect cash flow, as long as they are not sold during the period. Balder has hedged against higher levels of interest rates, which means that the market value of derivatives decreases during a period of downward interest rates. The deficit in respect of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 1,294m (1,086) at

year-end. The deficit on derivatives will be released during the remaining term and recognised as income. This means that Balder has a reserve of SEK 1,294m that will be reversed to equity in its entirety, adjusted by deferred tax, in line with the maturity of the interest rate derivatives.

Net financial items are equivalent to an average interest rate of 1.8 per cent (2.7) including the effect of accrued interest from Balder's interest rate derivatives.

Multi-year summary

See page 7.

Value of the properties

Balder carried out an internal valuation on 31 December of the property portfolio, based on a ten-year cash flow model. Each property is individually valued by computing the present value of future cash flows, in other words future rent payments less estimated operating and maintenance payments. The cash flow is adjusted to the market by taking account of changes in letting levels and occupancy rates as well as operating and maintenance payments.

The valuation is based on an individual assessment of each property, as well as future cash flows and the yield requirement. For a more detailed description of Balder's property valuation see Note 13, Investment properties.

Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder regularly allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued during the year. During the fourth quarter, Balder externally valued about one third of its property portfolio. The externally valued properties are located in Helsinki, Skåne, Gothenburg and Stockholm. The external valuation was less than 1 per cent lower than Balder's internal valuation at year-end

Sensitivity analysis

Factor Change before tax, SEKm
Rental income +/– 1 % +/– 51
Economic occupancy rate +/– 1 percentage unit +/– 53
Interest-rate level of interest-bearing liabilities + 1 percentage unit – 187
Property costs +/– 1 % –/+ 16
Changes in value of properties +/– 5 % +/– 3 423

Earnings effect

On 31 December, Balder's average yield requirement amounted to 5.4 per cent (5.5), excluding project real estate and property development projects, which was 0.1 percentage units lower than at the start of the year. The reduction in the yield requirement is attributable to the strong prevailing demand for properties. Our assessment is that the new yield requirement better reflects the market's determination of prices.

On 31 December, the carrying amount of the investment properties amounted to SEK 68,456m (37,382), according to the individual internal valuation, which implied an unrealised change in value of SEK 3,323m (2,906).

Taxes

Balder reported current tax revenue of SEK 4m (–11) and a deferred tax expense of SEK –866 (–682).

Current tax and deferred tax have been calculated based on the applicable tax rate for 2015. Current tax only arises in exceptional cases on account of the possibilities of making tax write-offs, tax deductions for certain investments in properties and use of existing loss carry-forwards. For the small number of subsidiaries where no group contributions for tax purposes exist, current tax can arise. Current tax for the year mainly relates to companies acquired and divested during the year.

Deferred tax is calculated on the temporary differences arising after the acquisition date. The Group's deferred tax liability has been calculated as the value of the net of fiscal deficits and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and values for tax purposes of properties and interest rate derivatives. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to SEK 4,071m (1,549). For more detailed information, see Note 11, Taxes.

Cash flow and financial position

Balder's assets amounted to SEK 73,376m (40,185) on 31 December. These have been financed by equity of SEK 25,052m (14,261) and by liabilities of SEK 48,324m (25,923) of which SEK 41,063m (22,378) are interest-bearing.

Cash flow from operating activities be-

fore changes in working capital amounted to SEK 1,193m (1,038). Investing activities have burdened the cash flow by SEK 5,635m (6,708). During the year, acquisition of properties of SEK 2,097m (6,835), investments in existing properties and projects of SEK 791m (700), investments in property, plant and equipment, financial investments, associated companies and subsidiaries of SEK 4,857m (570) and dividends paid of SEK 200m (200) totalled SEK 7,945m (8,305). These were financed through cash flow from operating activities of SEK 762m (1,340), through property divestments of SEK 1,606m (1,114) and financial investments of SEK 504m (219), a new issue of SEK 1,705m (–) and net borrowing of SEK 3,788m (5,338), totalling SEK 8,365m (8,011).

Total cash flow for the year amounted to SEK 421m (–8). The Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,339m (806) on 31 December.

Equity

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 25,052m (14,261) on 31 December, corresponding to SEK 103.24 per ordinary share (70.10). The equity/assets ratio amounted to 34.1 per cent (35.5). Including Collector at market value, the equity/assets ratio was 37.8 per cent and equity per ordinary share was SEK 128.03.

Interest-bearing liabilities

The Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 41,063m (22,378) on 31 December. The proportion of loans with interest dates during the coming 12-month period amounted to 52 per cent (62) and the average fixed credit term amounted to 4.4 years (4.3). Derivatives contracts have been entered into in order to limit the impact of a higher market rate of interest.

The above-mentioned derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet with changes in value recognised in net financial items in the income statement without using hedge accounting. Changes in value during the year amounted to SEK 227m (–624). Interest-bearing liabilities are described in greater detail in Note 21, Financial risks and financial policies.

Liquidity

At year-end, the Group's financial investments, cash and cash equivalents and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,339m (806).

Investments

Property investments amounted to SEK 2,974m (7,759) during the year, of which SEK 2,183m (7,059) related to acquisitions and SEK 791m (700) related to investments in existing properties and projects. In addition to this, the acquisition of Sato Oyj contributed to an increase in the property portfolio of SEK 26,477m. Of the total changes in the property portfolio, SEK 21 291m (–) related to Helsinki, 1,117m (2,545) related to Stockholm, SEK 597m (2,615) to Gothenburg, SEK 1,176m (1,227) to Öresund, SEK 5,243m (788) to East, and SEK 27m (583) to North.

Associated companies

Balder owns 50 per cent of a number of companies where Balder takes care of management and administration, for further information see Note 15, Participations in associated companies. Apart from the 50%-owned associated companies, Balder owns 44.1 per cent (48) of Collector AB (publ), 31 per cent (–) of Tornet Bostadsproduktion AB and 35 per cent (–) of Brinova AB. On pages 50-51, Balder's participations in the balance sheets and property holdings of the 50%-owned property-managing associated companies are reported and presented according to IFRS accounting policies.

The associated companies own a total of 55 investment properties (51) and 5 real estate projects (6). Balder's participation in the lettable area of the property holdings amounts to approximately 183,000 sq.m. (158,000) with a rental value of SEK 276m (200). The economic occupancy rate amounted to 97 per cent (97).

Parent company

The parent company's operations mainly consist of performing group-wide services. Balder has centralised the Group's credit supply, risk management and cash management through the parent company having an internal bank function. Sales in the parent company amounted to SEK 147m (124) during the year, of which intra-group services represented SEK 117m (97) and the remainder mostly related to management assignments for associated companies.

Net profit after tax during the year amounted to SEK 1,061m (302). The profit was impacted by changes in value in respect of interest rate derivatives of SEK 199m (–585).

The parent company's financial investments, cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 658m (722) on 31 December. Receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 21,676m (15,777) on the closing date. Investments in property, plant and equipment and financial investments amounted to SEK 1m (1) and SEK 846m (144) respectively during the year. The net change in non-current liabilities of SEK 3,119m (2,154) was mainly related to acquisitions during the year.

Opportunities and risks

Balder's operations, financial position and results may be affected by a number of risk factors.

Rents and customers

Balder's income is affected by the occupancy rate of the properties, the possibility of charging market-related rents as well as customers' payment capacity. The occupancy rate and rental levels are largely determined by the general and regional economic trends. Naturally, the risk of large fluctuations in vacancies and loss of rental income increases when there are more large individual customers in the property portfolio.

In order to limit the risk of lower rental income and a weakened occupancy rate, Balder strives to develop long-term relationships with the company's existing customers. Balder's distribution between commercial and residential properties and the geographical spread in the portfolio means that the risk relating to rental income is low.

At year-end, Balder had an economic occupancy rate of 96 per cent (95). Balder's ten largest leases represented 6.1 per cent (9.4) of total rental income and their average lease term amounted to 11.1 years (11.1). No individual lease accounted for more than 0.9 per cent (1.5) of Balder's total rental income and no individual customer accounts for more than 2.7 per cent (4.8) of total rental income. The average lease term in the overall commercial portfolio amounted to 6.3 years (5.9).

A change of +/– 1 per cent in rental income would affect the profit before tax by +/– SEK 51m.

Debt and risk management

Balder's greatest financial risk is a lack of financing. To limit refinancing risk, Balder works continually to renegotiate loans and to diversify the maturity structure of loans. Meanwhile, this work ensures that competitive long-term financing is maintained. Balder's average fixed credit term amounted to 4.4 years (4.3).

Interest risk arises through fluctuations in the market rate of interest, which affects results and cash flow. A higher market rate of interest means an increased interest expense but this often also coincides with higher inflation and economic growth. This means that higher interest expenses are partly offset by lower vacancy rates and higher rental income through increased demand and by the fact that rents are indexed. Balder has elected to use interest rate derivatives to limit the risk of financing costs increasing significantly in the event of a higher market rate of interest.

In the event of an immediate increase in the market rate of interest of one percentage unit and the assumption of an unchanged loan and derivative portfolio, the interest expense would increase by SEK 187m. Of Balder's total loan stock at year-end, 48 per cent (38) had an interest rate refixing period of more than one year. The holdings in Denmark and Finland have given rise to a currency position. For more information see Note 21, Financial risks and financial policies.

Property costs

Property costs include direct costs such as operating and media expenses, maintenance costs, ground rent and property tax. Each region is responsible for ensuring that the property portfolio is well-maintained and in good condition. Through a local presence, knowledge

improves about each property's need for premptive work, which is more cost-effective in the long-term than extensive repairs.

Balder works continually on improving cost efficiency using rational technical solutions, practical efforts and continuous follow up.

A change of +/– 1 per cent in property costs would affect the property costs by SEK –/+ 16m.

Changes in value of investment properties Balder reports its investment properties at fair value with changes in value in the income statement. Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. The uncertainty in respect of individual properties is normally considered to be in the range of +/– 5–10 per cent. The uncertainty varies according to the type of property, geographical location and real estate market conditions. Balder continually monitors the transactions that are completed in the market in order to substantiate and guarantee valuations. In addition, Balder conducts continual discussions with external participants on acquisition and divestment of properties and regularly allows external parties to value parts of the portfolio, which provides additional guidance. Also see Note 13, Investment properties.

Profit before tax would be affected by SEK +/– 3,423m in the case of a change in value of the investment properties of +/– 5 per cent. The equity/assets ratio in the event of a positive change in value would amount to 36.1 per cent and in the event of a negative change in value it would amount to 32.0 per cent..

Environment

Balder has not carried out any comprehensive study of possible environmental pollution in the property portfolio but estimates that neither the properties nor the customers' operations give rise to any material environmental risks, which could affect the company's position. Acquisitions of properties where a risk of an environmental impact is deemed to exist, are preceded by environmental inspections.

The company's ownership of wind turbines is part of Balder's environmental work. Balder's 10 wind turbines generated 22.5 million kWh, which is equivalent to the average annual consumption of 900 houses.

The share and owners

In December, a directed new issue was completed of 10 million Class B ordinary shares. The issue was carried out at a price of SEK 172 per share and brought in SEK 1,705 million after issue costs.

At year-end, the share capital amounted to 182,396,852 distributed among 182,396,852 shares. Each share has a quota value of SEK 1, whereof 11,229,432 are of Class A, 161,167,420 of Class B and 10,000,000 preference shares. Each Class A share carries one vote, and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote.

The Annual General Meeting 2015 resolved to authorise the Board during the period until the next AGM to decide on a new issue of shares of Class B and preference shares corresponding to not more than 10 per cent of the existing share capital. The largest owners are Erik Selin with company, which holds 49 per cent of the votes and Arvid Svensson Invest AB with 15 per cent of the votes. There are no restrictions in the articles of association as to the form of transfer of shares or voting rights at the general meeting.

Since Balder will prioritise growth, capital structure and liquidity during the next few years, the dividend for the ordinary share will be low or may not be declared at all. The quarterly dividend for the preference share amounts to SEK 20.00 per year.

Report on the Board work during the year

The Board held 9 board meetings during the financial year of which one was the statutory meeting. The work follows a formal work plan approved by the Board. The formal work plan governs the Board's working methods and the division of responsibility between the Board and CEO as well as the forms for the day-to-day financial reporting. During the year, strategic questions and other important matters for the company's development were discussed, apart from day-to-day financial reporting and decision-making. The company's auditors participate in at least one board meeting and report on their audit of the Management's administration and of the accounts.

Corporate governance

Balder is governed by the corporate governance rules prescribed in the Swedish Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the listing agreement with Nasdaq Stockholm. The Board aims to make it easy for the individual shareholder to understand where in the organisation responsibility and authority lie. Corporate governance in the company is based on Swedish legislation, principally on the Swedish Companies Act, the listing agreement of the Swedish Stock Exchange, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance as well as other rules and guidelines. Some of the Code's principles involve creating a good basis for exercise of an active balance of power among owners, the Board and Management, which Balder views as a natural element in the principles of the operations.

Remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives

Guidelines for remuneration of senior executives were resolved upon at the preceding Annual General Meeting. Above all, the guidelines mean that market-related salaries and other terms of employment should be applicable for the company management. The remuneration should be paid in the form of a fixed salary. Taken together, dismissal pay and termination benefits should not exceed the equivalent of 18 monthly salaries. The company management refers to the CEO and other members of the Group Management.

The Board's proposed guidelines to the next Annual General Meeting correspond to the present guidelines.

Significant events after the end of the financial year

See Note 28, Significant events after the end of the financial year.

Expectations regarding the future trend

Balder's goal is to grow by means of direct or indirect acquisitions together with our partners in locations, which are considered interesting.

Proposed distribution of earnings The following amount in Swedish kronor is at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting:

Total 1) 8,880,681,329
Net profit for the year 1,060,941,923
Retained earnings 7,819,739,407

1) See change in the Parent Company's equity, page 70.

The Board proposes that the amount be allocated as follows:

Total 8,880,681,329
Carried forward 8,680,681,329
preference share 200,000,000
Dividend SEK 20.00 per

The Board's statement regarding the proposed distribution of profits.

The Board considers that full coverage exists for the company's restricted equity after the proposed distribution of profits.

The Board considers that the proposed distribution of profits is reasonable taking account of the assessment criteria prescribed in Chapter 17. Section 3 second and third paragraphs of the Swedish Companies Act (the type, scale, risks, need to strengthen the balance sheet, liquidity and general financial position of the operations).

The Board estimates that the company's equity after the proposed distribution of profits will be sufficiently large in relation to the type, scale and risks of the operations. The Board's assessment of the parent company's and the Group's financial position means that the dividend is defensible in relation to the Group's need to strengthen the balance sheet, liquidity and unexpected events.

The proposed distribution of profits will not affect the company's and the Group's ability to meet their payment obligations at the right time.

The proposed dividend for preference shares accounts for 2.2 per cent (3.1) of the company's equity and 0.8 per cent (1.4) of the Group's equity.

Balder's declared goal for the Group's capital structure is that the equity/assets ratio should not be less than 35 per cent over time and that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 2.0 times, and should also be met after the proposed dividend. In light of this, the Board considers that the company and the Group have a good basis for taking advantage of future business opportunities and also for managing possible losses. Planned investments have been considered in determination of the proposed distribution of profits.

Record days for the quarterly dividend of SEK 5.00 to the preference shareholders are 8 July, 10 October , 10 January and 10 April.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 • Accounting policies

General information

The financial statements for Fastighets AB Balder, as of 31 December 2015, were approved by the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer on 6 April 2016 and will be submitted for adoption by the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2016. Fastighets AB Balder (publ), corporate identity number 556525-6905, with registered office in Gothenburg, constitutes the parent company of a Group with subsidiaries according to Note 26, Group companies. The company is registered in Sweden and the address of the company's head office in Gothenburg is Fastighets AB Balder, Box 53121, 400 15 Gothenburg, Sweden. The visiting address is Vasagatan 54. Balder is a listed property company which shall meet the needs of different customer groups for premises and housing based on local support.

Accounting policies

The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations by the International Financial Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU. In addition, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups is applied.

The annual accounts of the parent company have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 (Accounting for Legal Entities) and statements of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The parent company applies the same accounting policies as the Group apart from the instances described below in the section "Parent Company accounting policies". The deviations that occur between the parent company and Group accounting policies are due to limitations in the possibilities of applying IFRS in the parent company on account of the Annual Accounts Act.

The parent company's functional currency is the Swedish krona (SEK), which is also the presentation currency of the parent company and the Group.

The financial statements are presented in Swedish krona rounded off to millions of kronor unless otherwise stated.

Assets and liabilities are recognised at historical cost, with the exception of investment properties, financial investments and derivative instruments, which are measured at fair value.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the company management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that appear reasonable under the existing circumstances. The result of these judgments and assumptions is then used to judge the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that would not be evident from other sources. The actual outcome may diverge from these estimates and judgements.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Changes in estimates are recognised in the period in which they arise if the change affects that period alone or, alternatively, in the period in which they arise and during future periods if the change affects both the period in question and future periods.

Assumptions made by the company management in the application of IFRS, which have a material impact on the financial statements, and estimates which may give rise to significant adjustments in subsequent financial statements are presented in more detail in Note 30, Critical estimates and judgements.

The accounting policies set out for the Group have been consistently applied for all periods presented in the Group's financial statements, unless otherwise stated below. The Group's accounting policies have been applied consistently in the reporting and consolidation of subsidiaries.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is the function responsible for allocation of resources and evaluation of the operating segments' results. In the Group, this function has been identified as the Management team which takes strategic decisions. The Group's internal reporting of the operations is divided into the segments Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Öresund, East and North, which are harmonised with the Group's internal reporting system. See further in Note 3, Segment reporting.

Classification etc.

Non-current assets and non-current receivables largely consist of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid after more than twelve months, calculated from the end of the reporting period. Current assets and current liabilities largely consist of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid within twelve months, calculated from the end of the reporting period. Current liabilities to credit institutions include amortisation agreed for one year. The company's interest-bearing liabilities are non-current in character, as they are continually extended, see Note 21. In the parent company, receivables and liabilities from/to group companies are recognised as non-current, when there is no approved amortisation plan.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or has the right to a variable return from its holding in the entity and can affect the return through its control of the entity. When

determining whether control exists, potential voting shares that can be called upon or converted without delay should be considered.

Subsidiaries are accounted for according to the purchase method. This method means that acquisition of a subsidiary that is classified as a business combination is treated as a transaction by which the Group indirectly acquires the subsidiary's assets and assumes its liabilities and contingent liabilities. The acquisition analysis establishes the cost of the shares or entity, as well as the fair value on the acquisition date of the company's identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities. The consideration also includes the fair value of all assets or liabilities which are a result of an agreement on contingent consideration. Costs related to the acquisition are expensed as they arise. For each acquisition, the Group determines if non-controlling interests in the acquired entity are recognised at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. The cost of acquisition of a subsidiary's shares and operations consists of the fair values of the assets on the date of exchange, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued as consideration in exchange for the acquired net assets, as well as transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition.

In business combinations where the cost of acquisition exceeds the net value of acquired assets, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised as goodwill. When the difference is negative, it is recognised directly in the income statement. When a company is acquired, the acquisition constitutes either the acquisition of an entity or the acquisition of an asset. An asset acquisition is identified if the acquired company only owns one or more properties. There are leases for these properties, but no personnel are employed in the company who can conduct business. In a business combination based on joint control, de facto control, the acquisition is recognised at historical cost, which means that assets and liabilities are recognised at the values they have been carried at in each company's balance sheet. In this way, no goodwill arises.

When an acquisition occurs of a group of assets or net assets which do not constitute an entity, the cost for the Group is allocated according to the individually identifiable assets and liabilities in the Group based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date.

The subsidiaries' financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control arises until the date control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not lead to a loss of control are recognised as transactions in equity, that is, as transactions with shareholders in their role as owners. In the case of acquisitions from non-controlling interests, the difference between the fair value of consideration paid

and the proportion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets actually acquired is recognised in equity. Gains and losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recognised in equity.

Intra-group receivables and liabilities, revenue or expenses, and unrealised gains or losses arising from transactions between group companies, are eliminated in full on preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Recognition of associated companies

Associated companies are considered to be those companies that are not subsidiaries but where the parent company directly or indirectly holds between 20 and 50 per cent of the votes of all shares. Participations in associated companies are recognised according to the equity method. The equity method means that participations in an associated company are recognised at cost at the date of acquisition and are subsequently adjusted by the Group's participation in the change in the associated company's net assets.

Participating interests in associated companies are recognised separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position. Participations in the profits of associated companies are recognised after tax.

Foreign currency

Financial statements of foreign operations Assets and liabilities in foreign operations are translated to Swedish kronor, at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses in a foreign operation are translated to Swedish kronor at an average rate that represents an approximation of the prevailing exchange rates on the date of each transaction. Translation differences arising on currency translation of foreign operations are recognised via other comprehensive income as a translation reserve.

Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. The functional currency is the currency, which applies in the primary economic environments in which companies conduct their operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the prevailing year-end exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognised in the income statement, apart from non-current internal balances, which are treated as a part of the net investment in subsidiares and are recognised via other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are recognised at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are recognised at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the rate prevailing on the date of fair value measurement.

Rental income

Rental income is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis according to the terms of the leasing agreement. The aggregate cost of benefits provided is reported as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Rental income is recorded in the period its refers to.

Other income

Other income is recognised on a straight-line basis in the consolidated income statement.

Costs for operating lease contracts

Costs relating to operating lease contracts and benefits received in connection with the signing of an agreement are recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses consists of interest income on bank balances and receivables as well as interest expenses on liabilities.

Interest income on receivables and interest expense on liabilities are calculated using the effective rate method. The effective rate is the interest rate, which means that the present value of all future incoming and outgoing payments during the interest rate refixing period will be the same as the carrying amount of the receivable or liability. Interest income and interest expenses include allocated amounts of transaction costs and possible discounts, premiums and other differences between the initial carrying amount of the receivable or liability and the amount that is settled at maturity. The interest component in financial lease payments is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by application of the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction or production of an asset, which requires a significant time to complete for use or sale are included in the cost of the asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs takes place provided that it is likely to lead to future economic benefits and that the costs may be measured in a reliable manner.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are measured and recognised in the Group in accordance with the rules in IAS 39. Financial instruments on the asset side that are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, trade receivables and other long-term security holdings as well as derivatives with positive value. Liabilities include trade payables, borrowings and derivatives with negative value. Financial instruments are initially recognised at the cost of acquisition corresponding to the fair value of the instrument plus transaction costs for all financial instruments, apart from those classified as financial assets recognised at fair value via the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, such as derivative instruments, which are recognised at fair value excluding transaction costs. The financial instruments are classified on initial recognition based on the purpose for which the instrument was acquired, which affects the subsequent recognition.

A financial asset or financial liability is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position when the company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Trade receivables are carried in the balance sheet when the invoice has been sent. Rental receivables are recognised as a receivable in the period when performance, which corresponds

to the receivable's value, has been delivered and payments corresponding to the value of the receivable have still not been received. A liability is recognised when the counterparty has performed a service and a contractual payment obligation prevails, even if the invoice has not yet been received. Trade payables are recognised when the invoice has been received.

A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights are realised or expire or the company no longer has control over them. The same holds true for a part of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised when the contractual liability is discharged or otherwise expires. The same applies to a portion of a financial liability.

Acquisition and disposal of financial assets are recognised on the transaction date, which represents the day when the company committed to acquire or dispose of the asset. Borrowing is recognised when the funds have been received, while derivative instruments are recognised when the contract has been entered into.

Balder divides its financial instruments into the following categories in accordance with IAS 39.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

This category consists of two subcategories: financial assets held for trading and other financial assets that the company initially elected to place in this category, under the so-called Fair Value Option. Financial instruments in this category are measured on a continual basis at fair value with changes in value recognised through profit or loss. The first subcategory includes the Group's derivatives with positive fair value.

Loans and receivables

Receivables, which do not constitute derivatives, are recognised after initial recognition at amortised cost under the effective interest method. A receivable is examined individually as regards estimated risk of loss and is carried at the amount which is expected to be received. Impairments are made for doubtful receivables and are recognised in operating costs.

Financial assets available for sale

The category financial assets available for sale includes financial assets, which are not classified in any other category or financial assets that the company initially elected to classify in this category. Holdings of shares and participations that are not recognised as subsidiaries or associated companies are recognised here. Assets in this category are continually measured at fair value with changes in value recognised in other comprehensive income, however, not those that are due to impairments and dividend income, which are recognised through profit or loss. In the event of disposal of the asset, accumulated gains or losses, which were previously recognised in equity, are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This category includes unlisted shares which are recognised in the item other securities held as non-current assets.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

This category consists of two sub-categories,

financial liabilities held for trading and other financial liabilities that the company elected to place in this category, the so-called Fair Value Option. The first category includes the Group's derivatives with negative fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Borrowing is reported initially at the amount received less transaction costs. After the date of acquisition, the loan is measured at amortised cost under the effective interest method. Non-current liabilities have an expected maturity of more than 1 year while current liabilities have maturities of less than 1 year. Declared dividends are recognised as liabilities after the general meeting has approved the dividend.

Trade payables and other operating liabilities have short expected maturities and are measured at their nominal value with no discounting.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments include interest rate swaps that are deployed to cover the risk of changes in interest rates. Derivatives are also terms of agreement which are embedded in other agreements. Embedded derivatives should be accounted for separately if they are not closely related to the host contract. Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of derivative instruments, stand-alone as well as embedded, are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Hedge accounting is not applied.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and directly accessible balances at banks and similar institutions as well as short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months which are only subject to an insignificant risk of fluctuation in value.

Impairment testing of financial assets

On each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired. Objective evidence consists partly of observable circumstances that occurred and which have a negative impact on the possibility to recover the cost, and partly of a significant or protracted decline in the fair value of an investment in a financial investment classified as a financial asset available for sale

In the event of impairment of an equity instrument which is classified as a financial asset available for sale, any previously recognised accumulated loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of loans and trade receivables, which are recognised at amortised cost, is measured as the present value of future cash flows discounted by the effective rate that applied upon initial recognition of the asset. Assets with short maturities are not discounted. An impairment loss is recognised as a cost in the consolidated income statement.

Property, plant and equipment Owned assets

Property, plant and equipment are recognised as an asset in the consolidated statement of financial position if it is probable that future economic benefits will accrue to the company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

Property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Group at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The purchase price is included in the cost as well as expenses directly attributable to the asset in order to bring it to the location and in the condition to be used in accordance with the aim of the acquisition.

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on retirement or disposal or when no future economic benefits can be expected from use of the asset. Gains or losses arising from disposal or retirement of an asset consist of the difference between the selling price and the asset's carrying amount less directly related selling expenses. Gains and losses are recognised as other operating income/expenses.

Leased assets

Leases are classified in the consolidated financial statements either as financial or operating leases. Financial leasing exists when the economic risks and rewards associated with ownership have been essentially transferred to the lessee; if this is not the case, it is a matter of an operating lease.

Operating leases mean that leasing fees are expensed over the term of the lease, based on use, which may differ in practice from the amount of leasing fees paid during the year. The Group has no financial leases.

Additional expenditure

Additional expenditure is added to cost only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will accrue to the company and the cost can be measured in a reliable way. Other additional expenditure is recognised as a cost in the period in which it arises. The assessment of whether additional expenditure is added to cost depends on whether the expenditure concerns the replacement of identified components, or parts thereof, whereupon such expenditure is capitalised. Even in cases where new components are created, the expenditure is added to the cost. Repairs are expensed on an ongoing basis.

Depreciation methods

Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives:

Property, plant and
equipment Useful life
Equipment 3–10 years
Wind turbines 10–20 years

Assessment of the residual value and period of use of assets is made on an annual basis.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties that are held with the aim of receiving rental income or appreciation in value or a combination of both. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, which includes expenses and borrowing costs directly related to the acquisition. Investment properties are recognised according to the fair value method. The fair value is based on internal valuations which are reconciled as required with external independent valuers. Fair value is based on the market value, which is the estimated amount that would be received in a transaction on the valuation date between knowledgeable parties that are independent of one another and that have an interest in completing the transaction after customary marketing, where both parties are assumed to have acted discerningly, wisely and without compulsion. Both unrealised and realised changes in value are recognised in the income statement. Valuations are performed at the end of each quarter.

Income from property sales is normally recognised on the date of possession unless the risks and rewards have been transferred to the purchaser on an earlier date. Control of the asset may have been transferred on an earlier date than the date of possession and if this is the case the property sale is recognised as income on this earlier date. The assessment of the date of revenue recognition takes into consideration what was agreed between the parties as regards risks and rewards as well as involvement in the day-to-day management.

In addition to this, circumstances that can affect the outcome of the transaction are considered which lie outside the seller's and/ or purchaser's control. If the Group starts a conversion of an existing investment property for continued use as an investment property, the property will continue to be recognised as an investment property. The property is recognised according to the fair value method and is not reclassified as property, plant and equipment during the conversion period.

Additional expenditure is added to the carrying amount only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will accrue to the company and the cost can be measured in a reliable way. Other additional expenditure is recognised as a cost in the period in which it arises. The assessment of whether additional expenditure is added to the carrying amount depends on whether the expenditure concerns the replacement of identified components, or parts thereof, whereupon such expenditure is capitalised. Even in cases where new components are created, the expenditure is added to the carrying amount.

Impairment losses

The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, with the exception of investment properties, financial instruments and deferred tax assets, are tested on each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of an impairment need. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount of the asset concerned is calculated. For exempted assets, as above, the carrying amount is tested in accordance with each standard.

If it is impossible to determine significant independent cash flows to an individual asset, the assets should be grouped, in conjunction with impairment testing, at the lowest level at which it is possible to identify significant independent cash flows – a so-called cash generating unit. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Any impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

The recoverable amount of assets in the category loan and receivables, which are recognised at amortised cost, is measured as the present value of future cash flows discounted by the effective rate that applied upon initial

recognition of the asset.

Assets with short maturities are not discounted.

The recoverable amount on other assets is the higher of the fair value less selling expenses and the value in use. In calculating value in use, future cash flows are discounted using a discount factor that takes into account the risk-free rate of interest and the risk associated with the specific asset. For an asset that does not generate cash flows, which is significantly independent of other assets, the recoverable amount is estimated for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversal of impairment losses

Impairments of loans and receivables recognised at amortised cost are reversed if a later increase in the recoverable amount can be objectively attributed to an event that occurred after the impairment was made.

Preference shares

Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. If this right does not exist, the preference shares are recognised as equity. Balder's preference shares are not mandatorily redeemable on a specific date and are thus recognised as equity.

Repurchase of own shares

Purchases of own shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from disposal are recognised as an increase in equity. Any transaction expenses are recognised directly against equity.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement was prepared using the indirect method, by which the result is adjusted for transactions that do not result in incoming or outgoing payments during the period, as well as for any income or costs attributable to investing or financing activities.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are calculated without discounting and are recognised as a cost when the related services are received.

Pensions

Pension plans are classified as either defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The plans are predominantly defined contribution plans. Defined benefit plans only exist in exceptional cases.

Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to privately managed pension insurance plans on a voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid; that is, the individual carries the risk. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due for payment. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or decrease in futurei payments could accrue to the Group.

Remuneration upon termination of employment A provision is recognised in connection with terminating the employment of personnel only if the company is demonstrably obligated to end employment before the normal time or

when remuneration is provided as an offer to encourage voluntary retirement.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has an existing legal or informal obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of financial resources will be required to settle the obligation and that the amount can be reliably estimated. In cases where the effect of payment timing is significant, provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flow at an interest rate before tax that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, if applicable, the risks specific to the liability.

Taxes

Income taxes consist of current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except when underlying transactions are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly against equity, whereupon the associated tax effect is recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity. Current tax is tax that shall be paid or received in respect of the current year, using the tax rates which are enacted or which in practice are enacted on the balance sheet date. This includes adjustments of current tax relating to previous periods.

Deferred taxes are estimated in accordance with the liability method, based on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Temporary differences not taken into consideration; temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that are not business combinations and which on the transaction date did not affect the recognised or taxable result. Furthermore, temporary differences are not taken into consideration that are attributable to investments in subsidiaries and which are not expected to be reversed within the foreseeable future. The measurement of deferred tax is based on how the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities are expected to be realised or settled. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and tax regulations which are enacted or are in practice enacted on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised net if they concern the same tax authority (country).

Deferred tax assets relating to deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilised. The value of deferred tax assets is reduced when it is no longer considered probable that they can be utilised.

When a company is acquired, the acquisition constitutes either the acquisition of an entity or the acquisition of an asset. An asset acquisition is identified if the acquired company only owns one or more properties. There are leases for these properties, but no personnel are employed in the company that can conduct business. In case of recognition as an asset acquisition, no deferred tax is recognised. All of Balder's completed acquisitions, apart from Sato Oyj, have been classified as an asset acquisition and therefore no deferred tax is recognised relating to properties in respect of these acquisitions. Nor has the acquisition of Sato Oyj, which is classified as a business combination, given rise to any deferred taxes on the acquisition date.

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is recognised if there is a possible obligation for which it has yet to be confirmed if the Group has an obligation that could lead to an outflow of resources, alternatively, if there is a present obligation that does not meet the criteria to be recognised in the balance sheet as a provision or other liability as it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or as it is not possible to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The following interpretations are are applied by the Group for the first time for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2015 and have an impact on the consolidated financial statements:

IFRIC 21 "Levies" is an interpretation of IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets". IFRIC 21 addresses the recognition of levies, i.e. various types of levies that may be imposed on an entity by a governmental, or equivalent body, by law and/or regulation, which for the Group impacts the recognition of property tax. The obligating event that gives rise to a liability is the event that triggers the payment of a levy. The interpretation will become effective for annual periods beginning after 17 June 2014 according to the EU. The interpretation has not affected the Group on a full-year basis, however, the liability for property tax has been recognised as of 1 January in its entirety and the cost has subsequently been allocated on a straight-line basis during the year.

Other standards, amendments and interpretations that became effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2015 have not had any material impact on the consolidated dinancial statements.

New standards and interpretations that have not yet been applied by the Group

A number of new standards and interpretations have been published, which have still not entered into effect and thus and have not been adopted on preparation of these financial statements. None of these are expected to have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements with the exception of the following:

IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" deals with classification, measurement and accounting of financial assets and liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was published in July 2014. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that deal with classification and measurement of financial instruments. The standard will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted. The Group has still not evaluated the effects of introducing the standard.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" prescribes how revenue recognition should occur. The principles that IFRS 15 is based on should provide users of financial statements with more useful information about the company's revenue. The expanded disclosure requirements means that information about about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer should be reported. Under IFRS 15, revenue should be recognised when the customer obtains control over the sold good or service and is able to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11

Construction Contracts and the related interpretations (IFRIC and SIC). IFRS 15 will become effective on 1 January 2018 with mandatory application. Earlier application is permitted. The Group has still not evaluated the effects of introducing the standard.

None of the other IFRS sor IFRIC interpretations which have not yet become effective, are expected to have any material impact on the group.

Parent Company accounting policies

The parent company has prepared its annual accounts according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The recommendation implies that the parent company in the annual accounts for the legal entity should apply all International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations approved by the EU as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, and taking into account the connection between recognition and taxation. The recommendation states which exemptions and amendments apply with respect to IFRS.

Differences between the Group and the Parent Company accounting policies

The accounting policies set out for the parent company have been applied consistently for all periods presented in the parent company's financial statements.

Classification and format

The parent company's income statement and balance sheet are prepared according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act's layout. The

difference from IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, which is applied in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements, is mainly related to recognition of financial income and expenses and shareholders' equity.

Subsidiaries and associated companies

Holdings in subsidiaries and associated companies are recognised in the parent company financial statements according to the cost method. Received dividends are only recognised as income provided that they pertain to profits earned subsequent to the acquisition. Dividends which exceed this earned profit are treated as a repayment of the investment and reduce the carrying amount of the participation.

Revenue

The parent company's net sales consist of management services for subsidiaries. This income is reported in the period it concerns.

Anticipated dividends

Anticipated dividends from subsidiaries are recognised in cases where the parent company has the exclusive right to decide on the size of the dividend and the parent company has made a decision on the size of the dividend before having published its financial statements.

Financial guarantees

The parent company's financial guarantee contracts mainly consist of loan guarantees on behalf of subsidiaries and associated companies. Financial guarantees mean that the company has an obligation to compensate the holder of a debt instrument for losses that they incur because a particular debtor does not complete payment on maturity according to the terms of the agreement. For recognition of financial guarantee contracts, the parent company applies RFR 2 paragraph 72, which implies relief compared to the rules in IAS 39 as regards financial guarantee contracts issued on behalf of subsidiaries and associated companies. The parent company recognises financial guarantee contracts as a provision in the balance sheet when the company has an obligation for which payment is likely to be required to settle the obligation.

Leased assets

All lease agreements in the parent company are recognised in accordance with the rules for operating leases.

Taxes

In the parent company, untaxed reserves are recognised including deferred tax. However, in the consolidated accounts, untaxed reserves are allocated between deferred tax liabilities and equity.

Group contributions and shareholders' contributions

The company recognises group contributions and shareholders' contributions in accordance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2. Shareholders' contributions are recorded directly in equity in the case of the receiver and capitalised in shares and participations by the grantor, to the extent that impairment is not required. Group contributions are recognised as income in the income statement of the receiver and as a cost for the grantor. The tax effects are recognised according to IAS 12 in the income statement.

Balder' operating segments consist of the regions Helsinki, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Öresund, East and North. This division is aligned with the Group's internal reporting. The Management

primarily follows up operating segments based on their net operating income, where common property adminstration expenses have been

allocated according to the cost principle. Also see Note 1, Accounting policies applied.

A defined benefit pension plan agreement has been entered into with the CEO which means that an amount of SEK 0.4m (0.4) will be paid out annually to the CEO when he reaches 55 until he is 65. Future payments will be limited by the fund's assets by agreement. The payments are not dependent on future employment. The present value of the commitment amounted to SEK 3.0m (3.0). The commitment has been secured by a provision to a pension fund, whose plan assets amounted to SEK 3.0m (3.0). The value of the pension commitment has been calculated in accordance with the Pension Obligations Vesting Act, which does

Note 5 • Audit fees and reimbursements

The audit assignment refers to the review of the financial statements and accounting records as well as the administration of the Board of Directors and CEO. This item also includes other duties that the company's auditors are obliged to perform as well as advice or other assistance that is occasioned by review or implementation of such other duties. Everything else is consultancy. Audit expenses are included in group-wide expenses, which are levied on the subsidiaries.

not accord with IAS 19. The difference in cost under the two methods of calculation is not significant.

Remuneration to senior executives follows the guidelines resolved upon at the latest Annual General Meeting. The remuneration should be market-related and competitive. The remuneration should be paid in the form of a fixed salary. Pension terms should be market-related and based on defined contribution pension solutions. Total dismissal pay and termination benefits should not exceed 18 monthly salaries. The CEO's salary and benefits are determined by the Board. Salaries and benefits of other senior

executives are determined by the CEO. In the event of termination of the CEO's employment, a mutual period of notice of six months applies. In the event of termination by the company, termination benefits of 12 monthly salaries are payable (not qualifying for pension or holiday pay). A mutual period of notice of six months applies to other members of the Management team. No termination benefits are payable.

The Board has the right to depart from the guidelines resolved upon by the Annual General Meeting for remuneration to senior executives, if special grounds exist.

Note 8 • Operating leases

Leases where the Group is the lessee

The Group has a number of site leasehold rights and leases under operating leases. The lease payments are renegotiated at the end of the leases to reflect market rents. Leases are mostly due for renegotiation in more than 5 years and amount to SEK 652m (470) in total. In the annual accounts for 2015, an expense of SEK 21m (15) was recognised in respect of operating leases in the Group. The future non-cancellable lease payments are as follows:

Group, SEKm 2015 2014
Within one year 21 21
1–5 years 80 81
>5 years 551 368
Total 652 470

No leasing expenses were recognised in the parent company. However, there are a small number of insignificant operating leases, where Balder is lessee, mainly relating to private cars. Payments made during the lease term are expensed in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Leases where the Group is lessor

The Group lets out its investment properties under operating leases. The future non-cancellable lease payments are as follows in the table to the right.

Leases for commercial premises are normally entered into for 3–5 years with a period of notice of 9 months. Leases for residential properties normally run subject to a period of notice of 3

months.

The average lease term in the portfolio's commercial leases amounted to 6.3 years (5.9).

Closing fair value 68,456 37,382

Investment properties are recognised at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position and the changes in value are recognised in the consolidated income statement. All investment properties are deemed to be at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy according to IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement . The fair value of Balder's property portfolio is based on internal valuations. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be recovered in a transaction on the date of measurement between knowledgeable parties that are independent of one another and that have an interest in completing the transaction after customary marketing, where both parties are assumed to have acted discerningly, wisely and without compulsion.

On the closing date, Balder carried out an internal valuation, based on a ten-year cash flow model, of the entire property portfolio. Each property is individually valued by computing the present value of future cash flows, in other words future rent payments less estimated operating and maintenance payments and the residual value in ten years. Estimated rent payments as well as operating and maintenance payments have been derived from current rental income as well as operating and maintenance costs. The cash flow is adjusted to the market by taking account of any changes in the occupancy rate and letting levels as well as operating and maintenance payments. An inflation rate of 2 per cent has been assumed in all cash flow calculations.

Market assessments of properties always involve a certain amount of uncertainty in the assumptions and estimates made. The uncertainty in respect of individual properties is normally considered to be in the range of +/– 5–10 per cent and should be regarded as the uncertainty that is part of the assumptions and calculations made. In a less liquid market, the range can be greater.

For Balder, a range of uncertainty of +/– 5 per cent means a value range of SEK +/– 3,423m, equivalent to SEK 65,033–71,879m.

In order to quality-assure its internal valuations, Balder allows parts of the portfolio to be externally valued regularly during the year. During the fourth quarter, Balder externally valued about one third of its properties including Sato's property holdings. The external valuation was less than 1 per cent lower than Balder's internal valuation at year-end. Historically, deviations between external and internal valuations have been insignificant.

Rent payments

The rental trend is estimated to follow inflation taking account of prevailing index clauses in leases during their terms. When leases expire, an assessment is made of whether the lease is deemed to be extended at the prevailing market rent level and whether there is a risk of the premises becoming vacant. Vacancies are considered on the basis of the current vacancy situation with a gradual adjustment to expected market-related vacancy rates taking account of the property's individual conditions.

Operating and maintenance payments

Outcomes, budgetary and projection data as well as estimated standardised costs have been used in the assessment of the property's future property costs.

Yield

Yield requirements and cost of capital used in the calculations have been derived from comparable transactions in the property

market. Important factors in choosing a yield requirement are location, rental level, vacancy rate and the condition of the property. The yield requirement and cost of capital used are shown in the table on page 83.

The average yield on the closing date amounted to 5.4 per cent (5.5).

On 31 December 2015, after Balder's valuation, the company's total property value amounted to SEK 68,456m (37,382). For more information see the Report of the Board of Directors and Sensitivity analysis on page 60.

Future investments

On 31 December, Balder had ongoing residential projects with an expected total investment of SEK 8,000m, of which about SEK 4,400m was already invested. The most large-scale investments are in Copenhagen and Helsinki and mainly relate to condominiums that are let. In Copenhagen, there are currently about 1,000 apartments under construction as well as about 1,100 apartments in Finland and about 350 tenant-owner's apartments in Sweden. We expect to complete about 500 apartments during the first half of 2016.

On 31 December 2015, Balder's investment undertakings amounted to approximately SEK 3,600m (570), of which Sato Oyj's investment undertakings amounted to about SEK 1,500m.

The yield requirement is the single most important parameter during valuation. Generally speaking, residential has a lower yield requirement, mainly due to a secure cash flow and low risk.

Note 20 • Share capital

On 31 December 2015, the registered share capital consisted of 182,396,852 shares, of which 11,229,432 were ordinary shares of Class A and 161,167,420 ordinary shares of Class B, and 10,000,000 preference shares. Balder carried out a directed new issue of 10 million ordinary shares, in December, which brought in SEK 1,705 million after issue costs of SEK 15m. The issue has provided Balder with a number of new Swedish and foreign shareholders. For existing ordinary shareholders, the issue implied a dilutive effect of 6 per cent of the capital. After the issue and as of 31 December, the share capital in Balder thus amounted to SEK 182,396,852, distributed among 182,396,852 shares. Each Class A share

carries one vote, and each Class B share and preference share carries one tenth of one vote. An ordinary share entitles its holder to a dividend that is determined in due course while a preference share entitles its holder to an annual dividend of SEK 20.00 per share. All shares entitle holders to voting rights at the Annual General Meeting.

The Group has made the assessment that the outstanding preference shares constitute equity instruments. This assessment is based on the fact that both the dividend and redemption of preference shares require a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders where the

Note 21 • Financial risks and financial policies

Balder is financed by equity and liabilities, where the Mayority of the liabilities consist of interest-bearing liabilities. The proportion of equity is impacted by the chosen level of financial risk which in turn is impacted by lenders' equity requirements for offering market-related financing. Balder's long-term goals for the capital structure are that the equity/ assets ratio should not be less than 35 per cent over time and that the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 2.0 times.

Financial policy

The Group is exposed to six different kinds of financial risks through its operations. Financial risks refer to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, refinancing risk, price risk, credit risk and currency risk. The financial policy prescribes

ordinary shareholders have a majority. Thus for the company it is discretionary whether payment or redemption of these preference shares occurs and consequently no contractual obligation exists to pay out funds, which means that the instrument should be classified as equity.

guidelines and rules for how the financial operations shall be conducted and establishes the division of responsibilities and administrative rules. Departures from the Group's financial policy require the approval of the Board. Responsibility for the Group's financial transactions and risks is managed centrally by the parent company's financial department. Financial risk is managed at a portfolio level. Financial transactions shall be conducted based on an assessment of the Group's overall needs relating to liquidity, financing and interest risk.

Financial policy goals:

  • the equity/assets ratio should exceed 35 per cent over time,
  • the interest coverage ratio should not be less than 2.0 times,

The Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting for the financial year 2015 that no dividend on ordinary shares (–) should be declared and a dividend of SEK 20.00 per share for preference shares should be declared (20.00). All issued shares are fully paid-up.

• secure the short-term and long-term supply of capital,

• obtain a stable long-term capital structure. The Group has market-related covenants for its funding. These were fulfilled during the financial year.

The goals are followed up regularly in reports to the Board prior to presentation of the company's interim reports.

Capital risk

The Group's goal as regards the capital structure is to secure the Group's ability to continue its operations, so that it can continue to generate a return to shareholders and value for other stakeholders.

Refinancing risk

Refinancing risk refers to the risk that Balder may not be able to obtain refinancing in the future or only at a significantly increased cost. At year-end, Balder had credit facilities of SEK 4,745m, of which SEK 4,545m were unutilised. Balder also has credit facilities that fully cover future payments for ongoing construction projects. Balder works continually on raising new loans and on renegotiating existing loans. Over time, 50 per cent of the loan portfolio should have a credit term of more than two years and not more than 35 per cent of the loans should mature during a single year.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk of a lack of sufficient cash and cash equivalents to be able to fulfil the company's payment obligations relating to operating costs, interest, amortisation and dividend on preference shares. According to the financial policy, there should always be sufficient cash in hand and guaranteed credit facilities to cover the day-to-day liquidity requirements. Regardless of long-term goals, the Board can decide to temporarily boost liquidity, for example, to be better prepared for Mayor transactions. On the closing date, Balder's cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and unutilised credit facilities amounted to SEK 1,339m (806). Balder's financial policy, which is updated at least once each year, prescribes guidelines and rules for how borrowing should be conducted. The overall objective of financial management is to use borrowing to safeguard the supply of capital to the company in the short and long run, to adapt the financial strategy and management of financial risks to the company's business so that a long-term and stable capital structure is achieved and maintained and to achieve the best possible net financial income/expense within given limits for risk.

Duration analysis of financial liabilities

The tables on the right above show the cash flow per year as regards financial liabilities assuming the current size of the Group. The cash flow refers to interest expenses, amortisation, trade payables and settlement of other financial liabilities. Net financial items have been calculated based on the Group's average interest less interest income.

Refinancing occurs on a regular basis, so no interest expense for a longer period than 10 years is indicated.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in cash flow and earnings due to changes in interest rates. The key factor affecting interest rate risk is the interest rate refixing period. Long interest rate refixing periods ensure predictability in cash flow but in most cases also mean higher interest expenses. The Group's interest rate exposure is centralised, which means that the central finance function is responsible for

identifying and managing this exposure. The interest rate risk shall be managed using risk hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate ceilings and interest rate floors. The overriding key ratio used is the interest coverage ratio. On each measurement date, the interest coverage ratio shall exceed 2.0 times. To manage the interest risk cost-effectively, an assessment of the interest rate risk is made when raising loans with short interest rate refixing periods based on the Group's overall loan portfolio. Interest rate derivative transactions are carried out as required to achieve the desired interest risk in the overall

borrowing.

Balder has mainly used swaps and interest rate ceilings to manage its interest rate risk, which matures between 2016 and 2026. Fluctuations in market interest rates give rise to theoretical surpluses or deficits in respect of these financial instruments, which do not directly affect cash flow. Derivatives are continually recognised at fair value in the balance sheet and changes in value are recognised in the income statement. Derivatives are measured based on quoted prices in the market. The changes in value during 2015 amounted to SEK 227m (–624). The fair value of

Note 21 • Continued

financial instruments is based on measurements by the intermediating credit institutions. The reasonability of the measurements has been tested by engaging another credit institution to value similar instruments at the end of the reporting period, see sensitivity analysis above.

Currency risk

Balder owns properties via subsidiaries in Denmark and in Finland. External financing always occurs in local currency, which means that the remaining currency risk corresponds to equity. At year-end, Balder had hedged the Mayority of its own equityl exposure via basis swaps, which means that the currency risk is relatively limited.

Price risk

Balder's income is affected by the occupancy rate for its properties, the level of market-related rents and customers' payment capacity. A +/– 1 percentage point change in the rent level or the economic occupancy rate has an effect on profit before tax of +/– SEK 51m and +/– 53m, respectively.

Credit risks

Trade receivables

The risk that the Group's customers will not fulfil their obligations, i.e. that payment will not be received for trade receivables, constitutes a customer credit risk. The credit of the Group's customers is assessed by obtaining information about the customers' financial position from various credit rating agencies.

An estimate of the credit risk is made in conjunction with new leases and conversion of premises for existing customers. Bank guarantees, advance rental deposits or other security are required for customers with low creditworthiness or unsatisfactory credit histories.

Credit is monitored continually to follow developments in the creditworthiness of customers.

Financial operations

Balder's financial operations give rise to credit risk exposure. The risk is mainly counterparty risk in connection with receivables from banks and other counterparties that arise in the trading of derivative instruments. Balder's financial policy includes special counterparty rules which stipulate the maximum credit exposure for different counterparties.

Borrowing, maturity structure and interest rates

At year-end, Balder had binding loan agreements with credit institutions totalling SEK 41,063m (22,378). Loans are raised in Swedish kronor, Danish krone and euro. At year-end, loans in Danish krone amounted to DKK 1,881m and loans in euro amounted to EUR 1,824m. The credit agreements mainly consist of bilateral contracts with Nordic banks as well as a certificate programme for SEK 3,827m (1,500). On 31 December, the outstanding certificate volume was SEK 2,680m (675). Net interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and financial investments of SEK 1,025m (456) amounted to SEK 40,038m (21,922).

Agreements can be divided into five categories: • loans against security pledged in the form of promissory note receivables from subsidiaries. The security has been augmented by collateral in the shares of subsidiaries/limited-partnership shares,

• loans against pledging of mortgage deeds on property,

  • certificate programme,
  • bond loan

Interest-bearing liabilities for the most part are formally current but are non-current in character, as they are continually extended. One year of agreed amortisation is recognised as current interest-bearing liabilities.

In certain cases, the security is augmented by guarantees relating to interest coverage ratios, equity/assets ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Balder satisfied all of its guarantees at year-end. Credit agreements contain customary termination conditions.

The average fixed credit term in loan agreements amounted to 4.4 years (4.3) on 31 December 2015. The maturity structure of loan agreements, presented in the table showing the loan terms, indicates when loan agreements are due for renegotiation or repayment. The average effective interest on the closing date amounted to 2.2 per cent (2.6) including the effect of accrued interest from Balder's interest rate derivatives. The average interest rate refixing period on the same date was 2.9 years (2.3). The proportion of loans with interest dates during the coming 3-year period amounted to 64 per cent (65).

The fair value of financial liabilities, which are not derivative instruments has been estimated by discounting the future cash flow using the current market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used in the estimation of fair value is in the range 1.5 and 3.8 per cent.

Audit Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Fastighets AB Balder (publ). corporate identity number 556525-6905

Report on the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements

We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements of Fastighets AB Balder (publ) for 2015. The company's annual accounts and consolidated financial statements are included in the printed version of this document on pages 59–92.

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

Auditor's responsibility

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

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

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

Opinions

In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2015 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2015 and of its financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. The statutory administration report and the corporate governance report are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements.

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

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have examined the proposed allocation of the company's

profit or loss and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Fastighets AB Balder (publ) for the year 2015.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

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

Auditor's responsibility

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

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

As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director is liable to the company. We also examined whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.

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

Opinions

We recommend that the Annual General Meeting allocate the earnings in accordance with the proposal in the Report of the Board of Directors and discharge the members of the Board and the Managing Director from liability for the financial year.

Corporate governance

Corporate governance in Swedish listed companies is governed by a combination of written rules and practice, by which the owners directly and indirectly control the company. The rules and regulations have been developed through legislation, recommendations, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance and through self-regulation. The Code is based on the principle comply or explain, which means that all rules need not always be complied with if there is a reason and it is explained.

Some of the Code's principles are to create a good basis for exercise of an active and responsible ownership role and to create a well-adjusted balance of power between owners, the Board and the executive management, which Balder views as a natural element of the principles for the operations. The Code also means that certain information should be made available on the company's website. The Swedish Code of Corporate Governance is administered by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board and is available on www.bolagsstyrning.se where the Swedish model for corporate governance is also described. Balder applies the Code, which is intended to serve as part of the self-regulation within the Swedish business community.

Information to the stock market

Balder issues interim reports for the operations three times per year; on 31 March, on 30 June and on 30 September. In addition to this, Balder's reports its full-year accounts on 31 December in its year-end report and publishes its annual accounts in good time before the AGM.

The annual accounts for 2015 are now

available for distribution and on Balder's website. All documents as well as press releases and presentations in connection with reports are available on www.balder. se.

Internal control over financial reporting

The Board is responsible for the internal control under the Swedish Companies Act and under the Code. This account has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Code and is thus limited to internal control over financial reporting. Financial reporting refers to interim reports, yearend reports and annual accounts. This report does not constitute a part of the formal annual accounts.

Balder's internal control follows an established framework, Internal Control – Integrated Framework, which consists of five components. The components are control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication as well as monitoring.

Control environment

The control environment constitutes the basis for the internal control over financial reporting. A good control environment is built on clearly defined and communicated decision-making procedures and guidelines between different levels of the organisation, which together with the corporate culture and shared values establish the basis for managing Balder in a professional manner. Balder's internal control is based on a decentralised organisation with 1,177 properties, each with its own profit centre, which is administered from regional offices. To support the control environment and provide necessary guidance to different officers, there are a number of documented governing documents such as internal policies, guidelines, manuals, the formal work plan of the Board, decision-making procedures, rules for approvals as well as accounting and reporting instructions. Governing documents are updated as required in order to always reflect applicable laws and rules.

Risk assessment

The focus is on identifying the risks that are considered most significant in Balder's profit/loss and balance sheet items in the financial reporting and what measures can reduce these risks. The

risk management is built into the above mentioned document for the control environment.

Different methods are used to measure and minimise risks and to ensure that the risks that the company is exposed to are handled according to Balder's current policies and rules. The Board conducts an annual review of the internal control in accordance with the formal work plan of the Board. The risk assessment is continually updated to cover changes that have a material impact on the internal control over financial reporting.

The most significant risks that have been identified in connection with the financial reporting are errors in the accounts and in the valuation of the property portfolio, deferred tax, interest-bearing liabilities, refinancing, tax and value added tax as well as the risk of fraud, loss or embezzlement of assets.

Control activities

A number of control activities are built-in to ensure that the financial reporting provides a true and fair view at each point of time. These activities involve different levels in the organisation, from the Board and company management to other employees. The control activities are aimed at preventing, discovering and correcting errors and deviations. The activities consist of approval and reporting of commercial transactions, follow up of decisions and approved policies of the Board, general and application-specific IT controls, checking of external counterparties and follow up of results at various levels in the organisation. Other activities are follow up of the reporting procedures including the annual accounts and consolidated financial statements and their conformity with applicable rules and regulations, approval of reporting tools, accounting and valuation principles as well as power of attorney and authority structures.

Balder's regional offices participate in the basic control, follow up and analysis in each region. To ensure the quality of the regions' financial reporting, an evaluation is made in conjunction with the Group's controllers.

The follow up at a regional level combined with the controls and analyses at a Group level are an important part of the internal control, to ensure that the financial reporting essentially does not contain any errors.

Information and communication

Balder has determined how information and communication in respect of the financial reporting should occur so that the company's information disclosure should take place in an effective and correct manner. Balder has guidelines for how the financial information should be communicated between the Management and other employees. Guidelines, updates and changes are made available and known to the employees concerned by means of oral and written information and on Balder's Intranet. The Board receives further information about risk management, internal control and financial reporting from meetings and reports from the company's auditors.

Monitoring

There is an appropriate process for continual follow up and annual evaluation of the observance of internal policies, guidelines, manuals and codes and of the appropriateness and functionality of the established control activities. Different methods are used to measure and minimise risks and to ensure that the risks that the company is exposed to are handled according to Balder's current policies and rules. The Group's accounting and controller function has the dayto-day responsibility for follow up and reporting to the company management with regard to possible shortcomings. Follow-up occurs on both a property level and a Group level.

The Board regularly evaluates the information submitted by the company management and the auditors. The company's auditors report on at least one occasion per year their observations from the audit and their opinion about the internal control over the financial reporting.

Need of internal audit

Balder has a decentralised organisation that manages 1,177 properties from regional offices. Financial operations and the finance function for the entire Group are conducted in the parent company.

There is a controller function in the parent company which monitors the administration of the regional offices and the financial operations in the parent company. Balder's size and decentralised organisation together with the controller function in the parent company mean that a special internal audit function is not motivated at present.

Auditor's statement regarding the Corporate Governance Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Fastighets AB Balder (publ) Corporate identity no. 556525-6905

The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance report for 2015 on pages 94-98 and for ensuring that it is prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

We have read the corporate governance report and based on this review and on our knowledge of the company and the Group, we believe we have a sufficient basis for our opinion. This statutory review has another aim and direction, and is substantially less exhaustive in scope, than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

We consider that a corporate gover-

nance report has been prepared and its statutory content is consistent with the annual accounts and the consolidated financial statements.
