Park Street Nordicom/ Director's report
Main Activity
Park Street Nordicom is a fully integrated European real estate investment and asset management company with offices in Copenhagen and London. It owns and manages a large portfolio of commercial properties located across Denmark.
Results of the year 2020
Park Street Nordicom result analysis primarily uses the term EBVAT (Earnings before value adjustments and tax) to measure the Group's operating results.
In 2020, Park Street Nordicom achieved EBVAT of DKK 69.8 million (2019: DKK 83.2 million), which is in line with management expectations given for the period.
The EBVAT achieved is DKK 13.4 million lower than the one in 2019. The decrease is mainly caused by the reduction of net sales partly compensated by the reduction of operating expenses, overheads and financial expenses.
The evolution of the EBVAT is influenced by the following factors:
- Gross profit in 2020 is DKK 125.0 million (2019: DKK 150.0 million), equivalent to a decrease of DKK 25.0 million. The reduction in gross profit is primarily due to decrease on the income received from the hotels in the group (DKK -10.7 million), the increase of intentional vacancy in order to initiate residential projects (DKK -5.0M) and a delay on filling vacancies due to the uncertainties caused by Covid-19.
- The Group's overheads were DKK 29.4 million in 2020 against DKK 37.8 million in 2019. The decrease of DKK 8.3 million is caused by a reduction of employee expenses, a reduction of external advisor expenses and depreciation of fix assets.
- Net financial items amounts to DKK -25.8 million in 2020 against DKK -29.1 million in 2019, representing a positive change of DKK 3.3 million driven by the reduction of the debt with financial institutions and lower margins interest rates.
Net Profit of the period has increased from DKK 115.1 million in 2019 to DKK 145.3 Million in 2020 due to the following effects:
- Fair value adjustment in 2020 with a net of DKK 79.5 million while the fair value adjustment in 2019 had a net effect of DKK 62.4 million. In both periods an evaluation of the domicile and investment properties have been made adjusting the yield and the estimated profit and loss by the entire portfolio of Park Street Nordicom A/S and subsidiaries.
- In 2020, the sale of four non-core and stabilized properties which generated a profit of 38.5 million DKK (2019: DKK 0.4 million).
The Group's equity as at 31st December 2020 was DKK 1,071.9 million, compared to DKK 931.1 million as at 31 December 2019. The improvement in the Group's equity is due to the profit for the period and revaluation of the domicile with a net increase of DKK 5.4 million.
The operation of the Group's properties in 2020 was impacted by the restraint shown by businesses to commit to leases and investment, which has delayed closings of some new leases. We also further received some long expected terminations. The current vacancy rate (calculated by rental value) for the Group's investment properties at $22.1\%$ in 2020, against $11.0\%$ for all of 2019. The new vacancies were significantly below market levels, and several pending discussions from 2020 with potential tenants should lead to a highly intensive period of concluding new leases and reducing the vacancy levels. During the first months of 2021, it has been identified positive traction with the signature of new leases.
Property acquisitions and sales
In 2020, Park Street Nordicom sold the following properties and plots:
- Office building in Copenhagen
- Residential unit in Ballerup

- Retail building in Slagelse

Organisation
Since April 23th April of 2020 when the Annual general of the Company took place the Board of Directors of Park Street Nordicom consists of Andrew La Trobe, Pradeep Pattern, Ohene Aku Kwapong, Lars-Andreas Nilsen and Anita Nassar.
The number of employees of Park Street Nordicom were 38 by the end of 2020, against 42 at the start of the year.
Subsequent events after December 31, 2020
As stated above a residential unit has been sold in February 2021 in Ballerup.
As indicated in note 23 of the consolidated financial statements in the Annual report for 2020 the share buy-back programme initiated on 19 October 2020 concluded on the 25 February 2021. In the period from 19 October 2020 to 25 February 2021, Park Street Nordicom has bought 918,313 shares for a total amount of DKK 10.0 million.

Outlook and Strategy for 2021
Background of 2020, and its impact
2020 has been a testing one for the company, with key impacts and learnings:
- Diverse portfolio of the company, and the blessing of the portfolio being concentrated in Denmark, which has managed the 2020 crisis better than most other countries, helped us tide through the year strongly. The performance of Hotel revenue has been negatively impacted, while we maintained low delinquencies across other sectors.
- Systems and Technology driven operations which allow for managing operations remotely, dynamic access to operating and financial data is Core Infrastructure for property management and no longer a nice to have. Our efforts of the past years in developing such systems allowed for seamless operations.
- While we planned for several vacancies to be leased out, the decisions have been slow. The outlook for increasing revenues in 2021 is better part in view of the preceding discussions.
- The company has done preparatory work for select projects, the execution will be contingent to optimal financing and execution partners, which have been slow to achieve in 2020.
- The company has further strengthened its balance sheet with reduction of short term debt from the proceeds of sale of assets.
- There has been significant clean up of the pending operating expenses settlements, reduction of the financial expenses from debt paydown and general tightening of costs which has compensated to a large degree the impact of reduced revenues.

Consolidated Financial Review
PROFIT AND LOSS
Park Street Nordicom's Net Profit is DKK 145.3 million for 2020 (2019: DKK 115.1 million), equivalent to a change of DKK 30.2 million in relation to 2019.
As mentioned above the EBVAT in 2020 is DKK 69.8 million (2019: DKK 83.2 million), which is DKK 13.4 million lower than the one achieved in 2019. The reduction is primarily driven by the reduction of the gross profit (DKK -25.0 million), primarily due to decrease on the income received from the hotels in the group (DKK -10.7 million), the increase of intentional vacancy in order to initiate residential projects (DKK -5.0M) and a delay on filling vacancies due to the uncertainties caused by Covid-19. This increase has partially been compensation by a reduction of the Group's overheads (DKK -8.3 million) and net financial items (DKK -3.3 million).
Net Profit of the period has increased from DKK 115.1 Million in 2019 to DKK 145.3 Million in 2020 due to the a higher revaluation of the investment properties amounting to DKK 79.5 Million (2019: DKK 62.4 Million). Additionally, the sale of four non-core stabilized properties have generated a profit of 38.5 million DKK while in 2019 the sale of assets generated DKK 0.4 million. To finalize, the effect of the Tax on profit is higher in 2020, being DKK 42.4 Million in 2020 (2019: DKK 31.0 Million) caused by the increase in fair value adjustments.
BALANCE SHEET
Park Street Nordicom's balance sheet total as at 31 December 2020 was DKK 2,723.1 million, a reduction of DKK 49.8 million on the balance sheet total at 31 December 2019. The reduction is mainly due to disposal of four assets which had a book value of DKK 154.3 million by the end of 2019. This effect has been partially compensated by the revaluation of investment and domicile properties of DKK 86.5 million and acquisition and improvements of assets by DKK 51.6 million. Non-current assets were DKK 2,665.7 million at 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: DKK 2,679.9 million). Current assets have decreased from DKK 92.9 million at 31 December 2019 to DKK 57.4 million at 31 December 2020, a reduction of DKK 35.6 million mainly caused by the payment of short term debt with financial institutions.
The Group's equity as at 31st December 2020 was DKK 1,071.9 million, compared to DKK 931.1 million as at 31 December 2019. The improvement in the Group's equity is due to the profit for the period and revaluation of the domicile with a net increase of DKK 5.4 million.
Liabilities to credit institutions were DKK 1,405.0 million at 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: DKK 1,633.3 million), consisting of DKK 1,354.0 million (96%) for non-current liabilities and DKK 51.0 million (4%) for current liabilities. In 2020, financial liabilities were decreased by DKK 228.3 million driven by the repayment the only short term facility existing in the portfolio (DKK 105.0 Million), repayment of debt from disposal of assets (DKK 77.5) and the remaining amount corresponds to amortization repayments to credit institutions.
CASH FLOWS FOR 2020
Cash flows from operating activities for 2020 were DKK 61.9 Million (2019: DKK 92.9 million), equivalent to a decrease of DKK 35.9 million in relation to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease of operating profit (EBIT) previously mentioned and changes on working capital.
Cash flows from investing activities for 2020 were DKK 137.9 million (2019: DKK -125.5 million). Cash flows from investing activities were positively affected by the sale of assets (DKK 192.8 million), partly compensated by improvements made to investment properties (DKK -36.9 million) and acquisition of assets (DKK 14.6 million). In 2019 cash flow from investing activities was negatively affected mainly by the acquisition of a properties by 103.9 million.
Cash flows from financing activities for 2020 were DKK -238.3 million (2019: DKK 39.9 million) mainly driven by the repayment the only short term facility existing in the portfolio (DKK 105.0 Million), repayment of debt from disposal of assets (DKK 77.5) and the remaining amount corresponds to amortization repayments to credit institutions.
The Group's liquid assets amounted to DKK 23.1 million at 31 December 2020 against DKK 61.6 million at 31 December 2019.

Park Street Nordicom's portfolio of properties constitute a large share of the Group's balance sheet, which means that sensitivity to falling prices in the property market is relatively large.
Property value is influenced by several factors, including a particular value sensitivity to fluctuations in the following parameters:
- i. Market rent
- ii. Vacancy
- iii. Yield
Estimated changes in the properties' fair value changes of the parameters above are disclosed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Market Rent
Some of the properties in Park Street Nordicom's portfolio have leases which were either entered into or renegotiated during the tough markets of 2009 to 2014. The Group has an opportunity to review these leases to migrate the lease levels closer to market rents. Improving demand for space and increasing market rents could also give an opportunity to make capital investments on structurally vacant areas of the portfolio to create further lettable areas.
Renegotiating with existing tenants could create the risk of increased vacancy, which in turn will create a need for further capital investment requirements for upgrading the vacant space.
Vacancy
Park Street Nordicom is dependent on the ability to maintain or create a natural user requirement for the properties.
In the case of a tenant's relocation of a lease, there is a risk that the vacant lease cannot be re-leased within the expected time horizon or, if necessary, can only be leased at lower rent level than expected. In addition, vacancy rates are affected by the general economic situation in the area where the individual property is situated.
Maintenance
The basis for obtaining rental income is, of course, that Park Street Nordicom can offer leases that meet the expectations and requirements of the tenants, including a satisfactory maintenance condition for the property.
Lack of maintenance of properties therefore creates a risk to Park Street Nordicom. Lack of maintenance can be due to many conditions, such as structural deficiencies, unforeseen wreckage, vandalism, extreme weather conditions, etc. The company prepares long term maintenance budgets and carries out the maintenance work necessary to maintain a satisfactory maintenance condition on the properties.
Sales of properties
Park Street Nordicom sells properties that are suitable to sell. The selling price is naturally linked to uncertainty as it depends on the actual negotiation situation at the time of sale and is also influenced by a number of other factors, including the rental income of the property, the general interest rate level and market conditions at the time of sale.
Errors and deficiencies regarding rebuilding and newbuilding
14
Park Street Nordicom/ Director's report
When rebuilding the existing properties of the Group, or in the case of new construction, there is a risk of malfunctioning. Park Street Nordicom ensures against this through contracts with the Group's suppliers (contractors, etc.) who will be required to correct any deficiencies. In cases where suppliers have gone bankrupt or for some reason cannot fill their obligations, Park Street Nordicom may, however, have to rectify defects at your own expense, provided there is no guarantee or other security from the suppliers.
Other risks
Other risks can be divided into the following categories:
- Insurance risks.
- Tax risks.
- Legal risks.
- IT risks.
Insurance risks
Park Street Nordicom subscribes to statutory insurance and insurance policies that are deemed to be relevant and customary. The Group regularly conducts an insurance review with the assistance of an insurance specialist. Based on the latest report on company's insurance coverage, management believes that Park Street Nordicom has sufficient insurance coverage.
Tax risks
Changes in tax legislation may affect Park Street Nordicom's fiscal situation.
Legal risks
Park Street Nordicom regularly enters into a number of agreements, including agreements concerning the operation of properties. The agreements involve opportunities and risks, which are assessed and hedged in connection with the conclusion of the agreements.
IT risks
Park Street Nordicom uses IT to a considerable extent and are thus exposed to operational disruption of the established IT safety. This can cause operating and financial losses. Park Street Nordicom constantly works to ensure a high level of IT security, which is currently estimated to be the case.

The full statutory report available on our website http://www.psnas.com/index.php/corporate-governance-statement/
Statutory report on diversity in management
Park Street Nordicom board composed at the time of publication of the annual report for 2020 by four men and one woman. In accordance with the Danish Commerce and Industry Agency's (Erhvervsstyrelsens) "Guidelines on targets and Policies for Gender Composition of Management and Reporting on this issue" issued in March 2016, Nordicom has a sub-representation of the board (top Management body).
Park Street Nordicom has set a target for the underrepresented gender in the Board of Directors (top Management body). Park Street Nordicom has chosen that the under-represented sex must be represented by 40% of the board by the end of 2022. Consequently the goal of 40% women in the Board of Directors has not been met yet as no candidates of the underrepresented gender were up for election in the previous year.
Since the number of employees in the Group is less than 50, Park Street Nordicom is not required to develop policies to increase the proportion of under-represented gender in the Group's other management levels, however the percentage of female employees represents 55% of the employees in the Group by the end of 2020. Group's overall policy is to employ or promote the best suitable candidates no matter of gender.
Internal control and risk management systems in relation to the accounting process
Park Street Nordicom Board of Directors and the Audit Committee have the overall responsibility for risk management and internal controls in relation to the presentation of the Group financial statements. Group's internal control and risk management systems relating to the accounting process are designed to minimise the risk of irregularities and significant errors in the published financial statements.
The Board of Directors / Audit Committee regularly assess material risks and internal controls in order to ensure that the control environment of Park Street Nordicom provides a good risk management and effective internal control.
At least once a year, as part of risk assessment, the Board of Directors / Audit Committee and the Executive Board undertake a general identification and assessment of risks in connection with the financial reporting, including the risk of fraud, and consider the measures to be implemented in order to reduce or eliminate such risks.
The Board of Directors is overall responsible for the Group having information and reporting systems in place to ensure that its financial reporting is in conformity with rules and regulations. For this purpose, the Company has set out detailed requirements in policies, manuals and procedures.
The internal control and risk management systems are monitored at different levels within the Group. Any weaknesses, control failures and violations of the applicable policies, manuals and procedures or other material deviations are communicated upwards in the organization in accordance with relevant policies and instructions. Any weaknesses, omissions and violations are reported to the Executive Board.
The auditors elected by the Annual General Meeting account for any material weaknesses in the internal control systems related to financial reporting in the Auditor's Long-form Report to the Board of Directors. Minor irregularities are reported in Management Letters to the Executive Board.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Park Street Nordicom A/S
Our opinion
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2020 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor's Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
What we have audited
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Park Street Nordicom A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of equity, statement of cash flows and notes for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements".
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided.
Appointment
We were first appointed auditors of Park Street Nordicom A/S on 27 April 2017 for the financial year 2017. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 4 year, including the financial year 2020.
24
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Valuation of Investment Properties and Domiciles | |
| The Group owns a portfolio of investment properties that are valued at fair value and 2 domiciles that are revalued to fair value at 31 December 2020. | We assessed the method used by management to measure the fair value of investment properties and domiciles, and we challenged the assumptions applied, using our knowledge of the real estate market and professional scepticism. |
| Valuation of investment properties and domiciles at fair value contains significant estimates based on significant assumptions, where even minor changes in the assumptions can have a significant effect on the fair value of the properties. | We assessed the competencies, capacity and independence of external valuer used by Management. |
| Management has used the capitalisation method to determine the fair value. The model is described in note 1.2, with market rent, vacancy and yield being the most significant assumptions. | We assessed and tested on a sample basis the data inputs used to determine fair value, including market rent and yields, by comparing the valuation made by Management with the valuation made by the external valuer and comparable trades. |
| Management has obtained valuations from an external valuer to support the fair value determined by Management; including the assumptions used, with market rent and yield being the most significant assumptions. | We tested on a sample basis the calculation for the fair values including the assumptions used and the related disclosures in the notes. |
| We focused on this area as valuation of investment properties and domiciles at fair value is based on significant estimates which are subjective and a high degree of estimation uncertainty. | |
| Refer to note 1.2,9, 14 and 15. |
Statement on Management's Review
Management is responsible for Management's Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, we considered whether Management's Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management's Review.
Management's responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Notes
Note 1 - Accounting policies, accounting estimates and risks, etc.
Note 1.1. – Basis of preparation
a. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. Refer to note 33 for a full description of the accounting policies used.
b. Changes to accounting policies
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 as stated on note 33.
Note 1.2. – Investment properties
A property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group, is classified as investment property. An investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. After initial recognition, an investment property is carried at fair value.
Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. The fair value of an investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and other assumptions market participants would make when pricing the property under current market conditions. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Changes in fair values are recognised in the income statement. Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed. Where the Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm's length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior to the sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded in the income statement within net gain from fair value adjustment on investment property.
The principles and methods for determining the estimated fair value of the properties in this category is based on the capitalisation method. The determination of fair values in accordance to the capitalisation method is generally the most accepted and widely used model for valuating property. The method is based on a stabilised net rent, capitalised at a rate of return assuming a stabilised property in a stable market, which is fully let at an annual market rent at, or close to, market level. For non-stabilised properties, special conditions such as vacancy and refurbishment costs are taken into consideration.
The model used contains the following main elements:
| 1 | + Annual Rental Income (fully rented) |
|---|---|
| 2 | - Non-recoverable operating costs |
| 3 | = Net Operating Income (NOI) |
| 4 | - Cap rate (net initial yield) |
| 5 | = Market value before regulations and deposits |
| 6 | - Vacancy costs |
| 7 | - Refurbishment cost |
| 8 | - Rental loss (discounts, etc.) |
| 9 | + Net Present Value (NPV) of Overrented elements |
| 10 | - Net Present Value (NPV) of Underrented elements |
| 11 | + Cash deposits |
| 12 | + Other |
| 13 | = Market value after regulations and deposits (Fair Value) |
Ad. 1) The annual rental income represents the budget rent. For non-vacant units, the budget rent equals the actual rental income. If the actual rental income differs significantly, the market rent is used. For vacant areas, the market rent is used.
Ad. 2) All operating expenses not recoverable from the tenants are deducted. This includes taxes, insurance, cleaning, utility costs, service subscriptions, administration, external maintenance etc.
Ad. 4) The yield requirement is determined individually for each property based on the yield requirement for comparable properties in the same geographical area (where this is possible) and the property's risk profile.
Ad. 6) Vacancy costs reflect the estimated loss of rental income until a re-letting is assumed. There is vacancy until the stabilised level is reached. When the stabilised level is reached all properties are assumed fully let.
Ad. 7) For vacant units, it is assumed that a refurbishment is required before a re-letting can take place. At some properties, these are not included as the leases already are ready for reletting.
Ad. 8) Current discounts are deducted from the market value.
Ad. 9) If an overrented lease is regulated to market rent, it is implemented over a 4-year period according to section 13 in the Danish Commercial Rent. As a result, the lease will generate an overrenting element in this period.
Ad. 10) If an underrented lease is regulated to market rent, it is implemented over a 4-year period according to section 13 in the Danish Commercial Rent. As a result, the lease will generate an underrenting element in this period.
The calculation of the properties' fair value is sensitive to changes in all the above inputs to the valuation model. The most significant non-observable inputs used in calculating the current value of the completed investment properties are as follows:
i. Market Rent per square meter (sqm.) per year
ii. Vacancy
iii. Yield
A general increase in market rent per sqm and decrease of the vacancy in the areas in which Park Street Nordicom's properties are located, will likely decrease the yield requirements.
i. Market Rent per sqm per year
Market rent per sqm per year represents an important input for calculating the fair value of the property. If it is estimated that the current rent is lower or higher than the rent that can be obtained by re-hire, a correction of the current rent will be made to the expected rent on re-hire. This input is based on an estimate. Similarly, input on market rent for empty areas is based on an estimate. The long-term average market rent (ie at terminal level) is the following divided by property types:
| Avg. gross rent per sqm p.a. (DKK) | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | 826 | 814 |
| Office | 867 | 815 |
| Residential | 1,188 | 1,132 |
| Storage | 337 | 299 |
| Other | 430 | 488 |
| Total | 808 | 774 |
The estimated fair value is sensitive to changes in the estimated budget rent. The sensitivity of changes in the average budget rent per sqm are illustrated in the table below, which shows the effect on the fair value of the properties if only the average budget rent per change is changed sqm per year.
37
| Change in market rent per sqm per year (DKK) | Change in market value (Million DKK) | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| 200 | 565 | 697 |
| 100 | 282 | 348 |
| 50 | 142 | 174 |
| -50 | -141 | -171 |
| -100 | -276 | -339 |
| -200 | -545 | -673 |
The table shows that an increase in the market price of, for example 50 DKK per sqm per year will increase the completed investment properties' fair value by DKK 142 million (31 December 2019: DKK 174 million).
ii. Vacancy
No structural vacancy has been considered in the property valuation; as it has been estimated that the current vacancy will be let within 6 to 12 months. An increase in the current vacancy has been estimated and represents the following (broken down by property types and calculated as estimated vacancy divided by the market rent in the terminal):
| Change in Vacancy (%-point) | Change in market value (Million DKK) | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| 10% | -2 | -2 |
| 5% | -1 | -1 |
| -2% | 1 | 1 |
| -5% | 2 | 2 |
The table shows that an increase in the vacancy by 5 percentage points will reduce the finished investment property with the fair value of DKK -1 Million (31 December 2019: DKK -1 million).
iii. Yield
The fixed return requirement is an essential input in estimating fair values. The table below shows the ranges for the return requirement divided by property type and the weighted return requirement in- for each property type.
| 2020 | 2019 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage p.a. | Interval | Weighted Avg | Interval | Weighted Avg |
| Retail | 6.00 – 8.75 | 7.44 | 5.25 – 8.75 | 7.21 |
| Office | 5.00 – 8.50 | 6.46 | 4.50 – 8.50 | 6.04 |
| Storage | 6.75 – 9.50 | 7.27 | 9.00 – 9.50 | 9.23 |
| Residential | 4.13 – 5.50 | 4.58 | 4.00 – 5.25 | 4.12 |
| Others | 6.50 - 6.75 | 6.51 | 6.25 – 6.75 | 6.37 |
| Total | 4.13 - 9.50 | 6.30 | 4.00 – 9.50 | 6.38 |
The table shows that the return requirements for completed investment properties at December 31, 2020 is in the range $4.13\% - 9.50\%$ per annum. The corresponding interval at December 31, 2019 amounted to $4.00\% - 9.50\%$ per annum.
The weighted yield requirement in the table are calculated as each property yield requirements weighted by the property's fair value in relation to property type's / portfolio's fair value and amounts at December 31, 2020 6.30% per annum for the overall portfolio of finished investment properties at December 31, 2019, the corresponding weighted return requirements for the entire portfolio 6.38% per annum.
The yield requirements used have a significant impact on the fair value of the property. The sensitivity of changes in the return requirement is illustrated in the table below which shows the effect on the fair value of the properties if only the average return rate is changed.
| Change in return requirements (% points) | Change in market value (DKK million) | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| 1.00% | -285 | -400 |
| 0.75% | -221 | -312 |
| 0.50% | -152 | -216 |
| 0.25% | -79 | -113 |
| -0.25% | 85 | 123 |
| -0.50% | 201 | 258 |
| -0.75% | 302 | 408 |
| -1.00% | 412 | 575 |
The table shows that an increase in the rate of return of 0.25 percentage point would reduce the completed investment property fair value DKK - 79 million (31 December 2019: DKK -113 million).
The breakdown by activity based the property value is split as follows:
| Amount in Million DKK | 2020 | 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 339 | 14% | 285 | 12% |
| Residential Project | 394 | 16% | 363 | 16% |
| Office | 701 | 28% | 680 | 29% |
| Retail | 907 | 37% | 871 | 37% |
| Hotel | 89 | 4% | 94 | 4% |
| Storage | 32 | 1% | 32 | 1% |
| Total | 2,462 | 2,325 |
Determining the fair value of Domicile properties
From 2015 domicile properties have been evaluated at the amount equivalent to the fair value at the date of revaluation less depreciation, see mention in the note 31. Park Street Nordicom possesses at 31 December 2020 the following two domiciles:
- Svanevej 12, Copenhagen NV (Nordicom's headquarters in Copenhagen Nordvest neighborhood).
- Marbækvej 6, Ballerup (Hotel in Ballerup).
When calculating the fair value of the above two domicile properties, principles and calculation methods are applied which are used to estimate the property's fair values.
Due to different characteristics, different principles and calculation methods are used for each of the two domicile properties. The fair value of both owner-occupied properties is based on significant estimates.
Changes in fair values are recognised in other comprehensive income statement. Domicile properties are derecognised when they have been disposed or transferred into investment property.
The estimation of the properties' fair value as of December 31, 2020 resulted in a positive revaluation of the properties' book value by DKK 7.0 million (31 December 2019: DKK 7.0 million), which is included under "Fair value adjustment of domicile properties" in other comprehensive income.
i. Park Street Nordicom domicile in Copenhagen
Park Street Nordicom's headquarters at Svanevej 12 in Copenhagen Nordvest neighbourhood is an office building that is partially used as domicile for Park Street Nordicom and partly for rental. The property is characterized by generating a current return on rent, similar to the Group's investment
properties (see description above except that the property is also used as domicile for Park Street Nordicom). Principles and methods for determining the property's fair value is the same as the applied to Investment properties described above.
Property estimated market rent and determining the required return on owner-occupied property is based on inputs from an independent valuer.
The estimate of the property's fair value, similar to the Group's completed investment properties, is sensitive to changes in input in the valuation model. The most significant non-observable input used for estimating the fair value of the domicile property is as follows:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Market rent per sqm. per year (DKK) | 1,240 | 1,165 |
| Vacancy (%) | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Return requirement (% p.a.) | 5.25 | 5.50 |
The sensitivity to changes in the above non-observable input can be illustrated as follows (assuming the listed events occur one by one):
- An increase or decrease in the market price of DKK 50 per sqm per year will result in a change of the property's fair value, respectively DKK +3.8 million. (31 December 2019: DKK +3.6 million) and DKK -3.7 million (31 December 2019: DKK -3.6 million).
- An increase or a reduction of the required yield of 0.50% point will entail a change of the property's current value, respectively DKK -7.8 million (31 December 2019: DKK -6.7 million) and DKK +9.4 million (31 December 2019: DKK +8.0 million).
A general increase in market rent per sqm and decrease in vacancy in the district, where the property is located, will likely cause a drop in the yield requirement.
ii. Hotel in Ballerup
Park Street Nordicom hotel on Marbækvej 6 in Ballerup is a property where Park Street Nordicom via a management agreement operates the hotel. This property is thus characterized by generating a current return operation from the property. In order to calculate the property's fair value separated from the hotel operations, the measurement of the property's fair value based on an estimate of market rent that could be obtained on a normal lease. The estimate of market rent is calculated as a fixed percentage of the revenue of the hotel.
The estimate of the hotel's expected revenue is based on budgeted stabilized revenue discounting a ramp up cost that equals the difference between 2020 actual revenue and the stabilized budget revenue.
Property estimated market rent and determining the required return on owner-occupied property is based on inputs from an independent valuer.
The estimate of the property's fair value, similar to the Group's completed investment properties, is sensitive to changes in input in the valuation model. The most significant non-observable input used for estimating the fair value of the domicile property is as follows:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Market rent (% of expected revenue from the hotel) | 33.0 | 33.0 |

Classification of properties
Park Street Nordicom classifies the properties in the following categories:
- Domicile (Owner-occupied properties)
- Investment Properties
Reference is made to note 33 in accounting policies for a more detailed description of how the properties are included in the above-mentioned classifications.
Classification of properties takes place on the basis of Park Street Nordicom's intentions with each land or property at the time of acquisition. If the future purpose for some reason is not finalized at the time of acquisition, the foundation is classified as an investment property.
In some cases, services may be provided to tenants, etc. that constitute significant benefits. Park Street Nordicom owns and operates a hotel where services to guests form a significant part of the total product. The property is therefore classified as a residential property.
Reclassification of properties between the above categories is made when the application is changed and a number of criteria are met. Notes to the individual financial statements indicate whether changes have been made to the classification regarding properties owned by Park Street Nordicom.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates/laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Tax assets arising from unused tax losses, are valued based on existing budgets and profit forecasts for a 3-year period. Tax is recognized for an unused tax loss carryforward or unused tax loss carryforward when it is considered probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profit against which the loss or credit carryforward can be utilised.
At December 31, 2020 the Group has included unused tax losses of DKK 165 million (31 December 2019: DKK 206 million), which all of them (31 December 2019: DKK 206 million) is estimated to be realized within a three-year period or against deferred tax liabilities. The reduction in unutilized losses in 2020 and 2019 is due to positive tax income.

Determining the fair value of debt to credit institutions
Information on Group's financial loan agreements, mortgage debt and convertible bonds is disclosed in note 27. Information on estimates and judgments related to the determination of fair value of financial liabilities is disclosed in note 1. As stated in these notes mortgage and bank debt have been recognized at amortised cost in 2020 and 2019.
Zero-coupon bonds (former Convertible bonds)
As a result of a prior bank agreement, Park Street Nordicom issued in 2010 convertible bonds for a number of credit institutions for a total nominal DKK 69.0 million. The bonds are non-callable by credit institutions until 31 December 2029 and non-amortized. Conversion period for the bonds to shares has expired, and as a result, the bonds in the annual report classified as normal loans from credit institutions and is therefore included under "Credit institutions" in the balance sheet (zero-coupon bonds). The convertible bonds are recorded as subordinated loan capital and is subordinate to all other unsubordinated debt. The movement of the nominal value of these zero-coupon bonds is as follows:
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Zero-coupon bonds at 1 January (Nominal value) | 11,335 | 11,335 |
| Bonds converted into class B shares (Nominal value) | 0 | 0 |
| Zero-coupon bonds at 31 December (Nominal Value) | 11,335 | 11,335 |
The fair value estimated by an independent reviewer (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) at December 31 2020 corresponds to a rate of 31.30 (31 December 2019 – 31.30). The carrying value of zero-coupon bonds in the statement of financial position is shown in the following table:
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value of financial liability at the date of issue | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Amortization of convertible bonds at 31 December | 0 | 0 |
| Fair Value adjustment recognized in the Profit and Loss | 0 | 0 |
| Fair Value adjustment of convertible bonds converted in Equity | 0 | 0 |
| Balance at 31 December | 3,548 | 3,548 |
As stated in note 27 Group's non-convertible bonds are recognized as liabilities towards credit institution and are recognized as at fair value based on data that is non-observable in the market.

Conditional debt relief and contingencies
In connection with the sale of a property in 2014, Park Street Nordicom has been subject to a surcharge for the property if the purchaser on the site before 1 January 2024 obtains more building rights than assumed at the conclusion of the transaction. The additional price amounts to DKK 2,000 for each building rights. Additional building plans will require a change of the local plan for the area in which the property in question is located. Nordicom is not aware of any plans to change the local plan in question, for this reason Park Street Nordicom does not consider the potential additional price as a contingent asset.
Contingent assets
As part of the sales agreement of the property sold in 2018, Park Street Nordicom and the buyer have agreed that Park Street Nordicom is entitled to obtain an additional supplement of DKK 1 million if the buyer completes a development project of more than 5,000 square meters within 5 years from the date of acquisition; the Company has decided not to recognize the contingent asset in the balance as at December 31, 2020.

Risk management policy
The financial management of the Group is geared towards stabilization and optimization of the Group's operations, while at minimizing the Group's financial risk exposure. It is part of the Group's policy not to conduct speculative transactions by active use of financial instruments.
The group is due to its activities exposed to various financial risks, including liquidity risk, market risks (primarily interest rate risk) and credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Park Street Nordicom's liquidity risk consists of not being able to make regular payments and not being able to provide sufficient liquidity to cover the financing costs, capital repayment obligations and capital investments. Lack of liquidity may arise from insufficient cash resources and may be adversely affected by missed payments from Nordicom tenants, increased vacancy, repayment of deposits, divestments, unexpected costs and investment needs. Lack of liquidity may also arise from default of loans signed and in connection with refinancing when existing loan agreements expire or are terminated.
Cash reserves total at December 31, 2020 DKK 23.2 million (31 December 2019: DKK 61.6 million). Park Street Nordicom forecasts that current and generated liquidity is sufficient to carry out the group's planned activities throughout 2021.
Maturity of financial liabilities is specified as follows:
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | Carry forward balance | Contractual cash flows | 0 - 1 Years | 2 - 3 Years | 4 - 5 Years | After 5 Years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Interest rate risk
Park Street Nordicom is as a result of its financing activities in significant extent exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate risk is therefore an essential element in the overall assessment of the Group's financial situation.
The interest rate risk as of December 31, 2020 primarily relates to the following:
- Fluctuations in market interest rates on mortgages with variable rates (Cibor6, F2, F3, F5).
- Renegotiation of the margin rate applied on the mortgage loans.
- Renegotiation of fixed interest rate of bank debt associated with the extension of loans / terms. Fixed rate includes loans, which applies a fixed rate until the loans' maturity date, to other agreed point in time or until a renegotiation is made with the individual bank.
Park Street Nordicom's major interest rate risk is the risk that the financial creditors on short notice increase terms of interest and margin rates. In this situation, the level of interest and contribution rates depend on negotiations with the financial institutions. The Group's loan portfolio is continuously monitored with a view to optimizing the group's exposure to interest rate risks. Park Street Nordicom at December 31, 2020 does not have financial instruments for interest rate hedging, and the group has limited opportunities to influence the interest rate risk in the current financial situation.
Group's nominal financial debt is specified as follows, based on the type of interest rate that is linked to individual loans:
| Type of loan | Nominal (DKK million) | * Weighted interest rate (per annum) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| At December 31, 2020: | |||
| Mortgage debt | Cibor6 | 208 | 1.77% |
| Mortgage debt | F2 | 49 | 2.64% |
| Mortgage debt | F3 | 383 | 0.86% |
| Mortgage debt | F5 | 506 | 1.27% |
| Bank debt etc. | Fixed | 255 | 2.54% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,405 | 1.51% | ||
| At December 31, 2019: | |||
| Mortgage debt | Cibor3 | 39 | 0.96% |
| Mortgage debt | Cibor6 | 235 | 1.67% |
| Mortgage debt | F2 | 52 | 2.44% |
| Mortgage debt | F3 | 929 | 1.13% |
| Bank debt etc. | Fixed | 374 | 3.28% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,633 | 1.74% |
(*) Weighted interest rate (pa) includes contributions to mortgage and expresses the average weighted interest rates in effect at the turn of the year and in the subsequent period until the next repricing date.
The calculated weighted interest rate for all Group loans are at 31 December 2020 1.51% per annum, and is based on the latest confirmed interest rates. The corresponding calculated weighted rate at 31 December, 2019 was 1.74% per annum.
Breakdown by maturity until the next date of interest rate adjustment distributes the Group's loans as follows (as of Dec. 31):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Within six months | 208 | 498 |
| Between 6 and 12 months | 0 | 0 |
| Between 1 and 2 years | 299 | 727 |
| Between 2 and 5 years | 894 | 405 |
| After 5 years | 4 | 4 |
| 1,405 | 1,633 |
The interest rate adjustment date for fixed-rate and interest-free loans is included in the above table at the time of the renegotiation of the maturity and / or terms of the loans or where existing confirmations on a given interest rate expire for a period.
Interest rate risk from Park Street Nordicom's view can be presented in the following two divisions:
- Variable market interest rates: Risks associated with fluctuations in market interest rates, ie. on loans where interest rate adjustment takes place at defined times based on market fluctuations. This applies to mortgage loans with variable interest rates.
- Interest, etc. on all loans: Risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on all loans. In addition to the above fluctuations in market rates, this includes the renegotiation of contribution rates at mortgage banks and renegotiation of loan terms with bank creditors.
57
The hypothetical effect on the results and equity after tax as a result of 1 percentage point increase in interest rates (ex. Fair value adjustments) is illustrated in the following table:
| Amounts in DKK million | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Variable Interest rate loans: | ||
| Effect on income statement | -14.1 | -12.6 |
| Effect on equity | -14.1 | -12.6 |
On loans from credit institutions, with ongoing interest rate adjustments resulting from changes in market interest rates, illustrates the table above that the hypothetical effect on net income and equity as a result of one percentage point increase in interest rates amounts to DKK -14.1 million per annum (2019: DKK -12.6 million).
Currency risk
The group exposure is very limited to changes in currency rates.
Credit risk
The Group's credit risk is primarily related to:
- Lease receivables
- Receivables from the sale of properties
- Receivables form mortgages
The maximum credit risk for financial assets is reflected in the accounting values of the balance sheet, and taking into account securities received.
Risks concerning to rental receivables are limited to Park Street Nordicom's options to deduct payments from deposits and termination of the covered leases. Credit risk on receivables arising from the sale of properties is limited, as the transactions are always subject to payment of purchase price and deposit of the purchase price. With mortgage deeds, the Group has an usual debtor risk, which is reduced by mortgages on properties.
In order to minimize the risk of loss of receivable rent, the tenants' ability to pay prior to entering into leases is assessed to the extent that it is relevant. In addition, there is usually a requirement for a cash deposit, a guarantee and / or prepaid rent. However, if a tenant is unable to pay, it may result in loss as well as reduced income due to rental allowance upon relocation, lower future rental income and any additional costs incurred in connection with refurbishment etc.
Credit risk on receivables at December 31, 2020 is further described in note 20.
Group's cash and short-term deposits consists primarily of deposits in reputable banks. The group believes that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash. Deposits in banks are labelled at variable interest rate.
Financial liabilities with credit institutions and fair value
Group's mortgage debt and bank debt is classified as amortized cost. Fair value of loans measured at amortised cost amount to DKK 1,405 thousand. Fair value has been determined as the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at a rate reflecting the current borrowing rate. Due to the fact that the terms of all loans were renegotiated in 2017, fair value of all floating rate loans is considered to be equal to their carrying amount. Based on a recent transaction, the fair value measurement is considered a level 2 measurement.
The fair value of zero-coupon debt is established based on the fair value estimated by an independent reviewer (estimated rate of 31.30 at December 31, 2020).
The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified on the following 3 levels in the fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1: Based on listed prices (non-adjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Based on inputs other than listed prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either direct (as prices) or indirect (derived from prices).
- Level 3: Based on data that is not observable in the market.

| Credit institutions | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
| Total financial liabilities | 3,548 | 0 | 0 | 3,548 |
It is the Group's policy to recognise transfers between the different levels from the time at which an event or change in circumstances entails a change in the classifications. No transfers were made between levels 1 and 2 in the accounting period.
When calculating the fair value of the Group's liabilities in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a correction is made for the Group's own credit rating, taking into account the legal status of the liabilities, and the security in the assets measured at fair value. Consequently, no direct assumptions of discount factors, etc. are included when measuring liabilities to credit institutions in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The table below shows the change in liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value in the balance sheet based on valuation methods in which significant inputs are not based on observable market data (level 3):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount at 1st of January | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Gains / losses in the income statement | 0 | 0 |
| Redemptions | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer to Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer from Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Balance at 31st of December | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Gain / loss in the income statement for liabilities held at 31st of December | 0 | 0 |
Gains/losses concerning credit institutions measured at fair value are included in the item 'Adjustment to fair value, net' and in the item 'Special items' in the income statement. Liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value are transferred to/from level 3 in the fair value hierarchy depending on whether the fair value of the loans contains a correction for the Group's own credit rating.
For financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, the book value is assessed as being a reasonable approximation of fair value. This is based on the trade price of the underlying bonds (Level 2).

From 2020 the Group's leases for both residential and commercial leases are designed with a net rent plus contributions for common costs and utilities. Taking into account that the group is responsible for bearing the common costs and consumption taxes, the delivery of these services to the tenants, the group acts as a principal in relation to the tenants, regardless of whether the group does not perform the services itself. Taking into account the recognition criterion for revenue in IFRS 15, the Group has chosen to change its accounting policies so that the tenant's contribution to cover common costs and consumption taxes is recognized as revenue, so that revenue is recognized in accordance with IFRS 15. This means that both revenue and costs is recognized in the income statement against having previously been recognized as a net expense in the balance sheet. The change in recognition means that net sales have increased by DKK 18.3 million. (2019: DKK 23.7 million) and operating costs have increased accordingly. The change does not affect the result for the year. Comparative figures in both the income statement and the main figures overview have been adjusted for the periods 2020 and 2019. Apart from the above, accounting policies are unchanged from the previous year.
DESCRIPTION OF CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include Park Street Nordicom A / S (parent company) and companies (subsidiaries) controlled by the parent. The parent company is deemed to have control if it (i) has control of the relevant activities in the entity, (ii) is exposed to or are entitled to a variable returns from the investment and (iii) may use its controlling interest to affect the variables of their return.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared as a consolidation of the parent financial statements and accounts of the individual subsidiaries, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, the elimination of intercompany income and expenses, shareholdings, balances, dividends and gains and losses on transactions, taken between the consolidated companies.
Sale of subsidiaries and activities
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Foreign currency
Transactions in currencies other than the individual companies' functional currencies are translated initially at the transaction date. Receivables and payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising between the date of transaction and payment date or the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement under financial income or expenses. Exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign companies' balance sheet items at the beginning of the exchange rates and the translation of income statements from average rates to closing rates are recognized in other comprehensive income.
61
Exchange rate on full or partial disposal of foreign entities, where control is transferred, the foreign currency translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income, which is attributable to the unit from other comprehensive income to net income along with the gain or loss on the disposal.
PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT
Revenue
Revenue includes rental income, interest on mortgage and debt instruments measured at fair value, sale amount from sold project holding, sales of goods and sales of other services. Rental Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is calculated exclusive of VAT collected on behalf of third parties and discounts.
Revenue from the sale of project portfolios is recognized when delivery takes place and transfer of risk to the buyer (sales method), ie when any construction is completed and finally transferred to the buyer, and all essential elements of the sales agreement are met. Sales of goods factored when delivery and risk transition have taken place.
Rental income, interest on mortgage and debt instruments measured at fair value, and sales of other services is recognized in the periods to which they relate.
Operating costs
Operating costs include costs directly related to turnover, including ongoing operating expenses of the Group investment properties, costs associated with the acquisition and construction of submitted project inventories and other operating costs.

Financial income and expenses
Financial items include interest income and interest expenses, foreign exchange rate adjustments, amortization premiums / discounts, realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities as well as surcharges and refunds under the tax.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the development projects of investment or project portfolios, added to the cost of the assets until the time when the project is completed and the property can be used for the intended purpose. If there is a loan directly to finance the development project, calculated borrowing costs on the basis of an average interest rate of the group's loans except for loans recorded at the acquisition of specific assets. Other borrowing costs are recognized in the income statement in the periods to which they relate.
Income tax expense
Tax for the year comprises current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the income statement with the portion attributable to the profit and directly in equity or in other comprehensive income with the portion attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity and in other comprehensive income.
BALANCE STATEMENT
Intangible assets
Intangible assets (software) is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
62
Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the asset's estimated useful lives. Intangible assets (software) have been depreciated under the assumption of 3 years of useful live.
Depreciation is based on revalued amount less estimated residual value after useful life (residual value).
Domicile
Domicile properties are initially measured at cost. The cost comprises the cost and expenses directly associated with the acquisition. Fair value at the time of a previous investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, is considered the property new cost.
Domicile properties are then measured at a readjusted value, corresponding to the fair value at the time of re-evaluation less accumulated depreciation. Principles and Estimates Management's estimate of the properties' fair value are shown in note 1. Revaluations recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to the separate reserve for revaluation of equity. Owner-occupied properties are depreciated over the assets / components' estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Buildings | 50 years |
|---|---|
| Other components | 15-30 years |
Depreciation is based on revalued amount less estimated residual value after useful life (residual value). Land is not depreciated.
Investment properties
Investment property includes land and buildings held by Park Street Nordicom to earn rental income and / or capital gains. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, which comprises the properties and cost, directly related costs. Investment properties are then measured at fair value and all value adjustments are recognized in the income statement under "Adjustment to fair value, net".
Principles and methods for management's estimate of the properties' fair values is disclosed in note 1.
Land plots, where here is no final decision on the purpose of usage have been included in the Group's portfolio as investment properties..
Machinery and equipment
All machinery and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the asset's estimated useful lives as stated above on Domicile.
Depreciation is based on revalued amount less estimated residual value after useful life (residual value).
Investment in associates
Investments in associates are recognised at cost price following the cost method principle. The investment is recorded at its historical cost (purchase price). Once the initial transaction is recorded there is no need to adjust it, unless there is evidence that the fair market value of the investment has declined below the recorded historical cost. If so, the investment is written down to adjust to its new fair value.
Impairment of non-current assets
The carrying value of tangible assets that are not measured at fair value are assessed regularly and at least annually to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. When such an indication is present, the asset is valued at recovery value. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Value in use is the present value of expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the asset does not generate cash independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the smallest cash-generating unit that includes the asset.
Impairment is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the assets' useful or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying amount that the asset would have had after depreciation if the asset had not been impaired.
Mortgages and instruments of debt
63
Mortgages classified as financial instruments categorized as "financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss" are recognized at fair value on initial recognition and subsequently measured at fair value, continuously carried out a revaluation of this statement. Fair value is determined based on observable market data (interest rates), the debtor's creditworthiness and on assessments of the loan term to maturity and ranking in the position.
Project Holdings
Project Holdings include properties held for the purpose of sale, including ongoing or completed construction projects for own account and former investment properties under development for sale.
Project inventories are measured at cost or net realizable value, if this is lower. Fair value at the time when a previous investment property is transferred to project inventory is considered the property's new cost.
The cost includes the purchase price of the properties plus project and construction costs incurred, as well as borrowing costs attributable to the project / conversion period and indirect project costs.
When it is estimated that the total cost of construction projects, including replacement / expansion projects, will exceed the total sales income, the expected loss is recognized in the profit and loss.
Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortized cost. Impairment losses are made for losses which are deemed to have resulted in an objective indication that an individual receivable is impaired.
Prepayments
Prepayments recognized under assets comprise incurred costs related to coming financial years. Prepayments are measured at cost.
Dividends
Dividends are recognized as a liability at the time of adoption at the general meeting. Dividends proposed for distribution is shown as a separate component of equity until the Annual General Meeting.
Own shares
Acquisition and selling prices of company shares and dividends are recognized directly in equity under retained earnings.
Foreign currency reserve
Currency translation reserve includes the parent company shareholders' share of exchange rate differences arising from the translation of accounts for companies with a different functional currency than Danish crown. The reserve is dissolved by the disposal of foreign entities.
Revaluation reserve
Reserve for revaluation includes the accumulated revaluation of domicile. The reserve is reduced by transfer to the profit for the year, as depreciation and write-downs are made on the properties written up or for sale.
Corporate tax and deferred tax
Current tax liabilities and current tax receivables are recognized in the balance sheet as calculated tax on the taxable income, but adjusted for tax on prior years' taxable income and taxes paid on account.
Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities, excluding deferred taxes on temporary differences arising on initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of a transaction that is not a business combinations, and where the temporary difference found at the time of initial recognition affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income.
Deferred tax assets including the tax value of tax loss carryforwards, are recognized under non-current assets at the value at which they are expected to be used either by elimination in tax on future earnings or against deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reviewed annually and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized.
64
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and at the balance sheet date will be applicable in the respective countries when the deferred tax is expected to crystallize as current tax. Change in deferred tax due to changes in tax rates is recognized in the income statement.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when, as a result of an event occurring before or at the balance sheet date has a legal or actual obligation and it is probable that a payment will be needed to settle the obligation.
The item includes provision for dealing with specific uncertainties on completed projects. Provisions are measured on a best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation. Provisions with an expected maturity of one year and above are classified as non-current liabilities.
Liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured as described below. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they expiry, are cancelled or are converted into equity. A substantial modification of the terms of a financial liability is treated as a settlement of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. A change in the present value of the contractual cash flows with at least 10%, measured on the basis of the original effective interest rate, is treated as a substantial modification.
Financial liabilities attributable to investment properties are measured at amortised cost. Prior to the significant modification of the liabilities attributable to investment property, they were measured at fair value through profit or loss. Adjustments to financial liabilities attributable to investment properties were recognized in the income statement under "Adjustment at fair value, net".
Other liabilities, including non-current liabilities, debt to suppliers and other debt, are measured at amortized cost.
When a financial liability without equity conversion features is converted into equity, the liability is considered settled at the fair value of the shares issued. A gain or loss is recognised in financial items.
Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale include non-current assets that are for sale. Liabilities relating to assets held for sale are liabilities directly related to those assets that will be transferred during the transaction. Assets are classified as "held for sale" when their carrying amount will primarily be recouped through a sale within 12 months according to a formal plan rather than through continued use and provided that the sale at the balance sheet date is considered to be highly probable. When the properties are expected to be recovered from the sale of subsidiaries that own the properties, all the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are reclassified.
Assets are not depreciated from the time they are classified as "held for sale". Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount at the time of the "sale-for-sale" or fair value less cost of sale. However, investment properties held for sale are measured according to the Group's usual accounting policies for investment properties, ie. at fair value without deduction of selling costs.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
The cash flow statement is presented according to the indirect method and shows cash flows divided by operating, investing and financing activities for the year, the year's shift in cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.
The liquidity effect on the sale of companies is shown separately under cash flow from investing activities. The cash flow statement recognizes the cash flows of sold companies until the date of sale.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated as operating profit adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, received and paid financial income and expenses and paid corporation tax.
Cash flows from investing activities include payments in connection with sales of companies and activities, purchase and sale of financial assets as well as purchase, development, improvement and sales, etc. of intangible and tangible assets, including investment properties.
Cash flows from financing activities include changes in the parent company's share capital and associated costs as well as admission and repayment of loans, repayment of interest-bearing debt, purchase and sale of own shares and payment of dividends.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash with insignificant price risk.

Litigations and disputes
In connection with the sale of a property (building rights) in 2016, it was agreed that if, in connection with the buyer's settlement there is a proof that the property is contaminated, Park Street Nordicom must reimburse the costs that may be needed to get property released for the buyer's purpose.

Conditional debt relief and contingencies
In connection with the sale of a property in 2014, Park Street Nordicom has been subject to a surcharge for the property if the purchaser on the site before 1 January 2024 obtains more building rights than assumed at the conclusion of the transaction. The additional price amounts to DKK 2,000 for each building rights. Additional building plans will require a change of the local plan for the area in which the property in question is located.

Contingent assets

Risk management policy
The financial management of the Group is geared towards stabilization and optimization of the Group's operations, while at minimizing the Group's financial risk exposure. It is part of the Group's policy not to conduct speculative transactions by active use of financial instruments.
The group is due to its activities exposed to various financial risks, including liquidity risk, market risks (primarily interest rate risk) and credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Park Street Nordicom's liquidity risk consists on not being able to make regular payments and not being able to provide sufficient liquidity to cover the financing costs, capital repayment obligations and capital investments. Lack of liquidity may arise from insufficient cash resources and may be adversely affected by missed payments from Nordicom tenants, increased vacancy, repayment of deposits, divestments, unexpected costs and investment needs. Lack of liquidity may also arise from default of loans signed and in connection with refinancing when existing loan agreements expire or are terminated.
Cash reserves total at December 31, 2020 DKK 13.3 million (31 December 2019: DKK 53.1 million). Park Street Nordicom forecasts that current and generated liquidity is sufficient to carry out the group's planned activities throughout 2020.

Interest rate risk
Park Street Nordicom is as a result of its financing activities in significant extent exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate risk is therefore an essential element in the overall assessment of the Group's financial situation.
The interest rate risk as of December 31, 2020 primarily relates to the following:
- Fluctuations in market interest rates on mortgages with variable rates (Cibor6, F2, F3, F5).
- Renegotiation of the margin rate applied on the mortgage loans.
- Renegotiation of fixed interest rate of bank debt associated with the extension of loans / terms. Fixed rate includes loans, which applies a fixed rate until the loans' maturity date, to other agreed point in time or until a renegotiation is made with the individual bank.
Park Street Nordicom's major interest rate risk is the risk that the financial creditors on short notice increase terms of interest and margin rates. In this situation, the level of interest and contribution rates depend on negotiations with the financial institutions. The Group's loan portfolio is continuously monitored with a view to optimizing the group's exposure to interest rate risks. Park Street Nordicom at December 31, 2019 does not have financial instruments for interest rate hedging, and the group has limited opportunities to influence the interest rate risk in the current financial situation.
Group's nominal financial debt is specified as follows, based on the type of interest rate that is linked to individual loans:
| Type of loan | Nominal (DKK million) | * Weighted interest rate (per annum) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| At December 31, 2020: | |||
| Mortgage debt | Cibor6 | 208 | 1.77% |
| Mortgage debt | F2 | 49 | 2.64% |
| Mortgage debt | F3 | 289 | 0.90% |
| Mortgage debt | F5 | 506 | 1.27% |
| Bank debt etc. | Fixed | 254 | 2.54% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,310 | 1.57% |
Park Street Nordicom | Notes to Park Street Nordicom A/S Financial Statements
At December 31, 2019:
| Mortgage debt | Cibor3 | 39 | 0.96% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mortgage debt | Cibor6 | 235 | 1.67% |
| Mortgage debt | F2 | 52 | 2.44% |
| Mortgage debt | F3 | 836 | 1.23% |
| Bank debt etc. | Fixed | 270 | 2.65% |
| Others | Interest-free | 4 | 0.00% |
| 1,436 | 1.60% |
The calculated weighted interest rate for all Park Street Nordicom loans are at 31 December 2020 1.57% per annum, and is based on the latest confirmed interest rates. The corresponding calculated weighted rate at 31 December, 2019 was 1.60% per annum.
Breakdown by maturity until the next date of interest rate adjustment distributes the Group's loans as follows (as of Dec. 31):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Within six months | 208 | 395 |
| Between 6 and 12 months | 0 | 0 |
| Between 1 and 2 years | 299 | 727 |
| Between 2 and 5 years | 799 | 311 |
| After 5 years | 4 | 4 |
| 1,310 | 1,436 |
The interest rate adjustment date for fixed-rate and interest-free loans is included in the above table at the time of the renegotiation of the maturity and / or terms of the loans or where existing confirmations on a given interest rate expire for a period.
Interest rate risk from Park Street Nordicom's view can be presented in the following two divisions:
- Variable market interest rates: Risks associated with fluctuations in market interest rates, ie, on loans where interest rate adjustment takes place at defined times based on market fluctuations. This applies to mortgage loans with variable interest rates.
- Interest, etc. on all loans: Risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on all loans. In addition to the above fluctuations in market rates, this includes the renegotiation of contribution rates at mortgage banks and renegotiation of loan terms with bank creditors.
The hypothetical effect on the results and equity after tax as a result of 1 percentage point increase in interest rates (ex. Fair value adjustments) are illustrated in the following table:
| Amounts in DKK million | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Variable Interest rate loans: | ||
| Effect on income statement | -13.0 | -11.6 |
| Effect on equity | -13.0 | -11.6 |
On loans from credit institutions, with ongoing interest rate adjustments resulting from changes in market interest rates, illustrates the table above that the hypothetical effect on net income and equity as a result of one percentage point increase in interest rates amounts to DKK -13.0 million per annum (2019: DKK -11.6 million).
Currency risk
The group exposure is very limited to changes in currency rates.

Park Street Nordicom | Notes to Park Street Nordicom A/S Financial Statements
Credit risk
The Group's credit risk is primarily related to:
- Lease receivables
- Receivables from the sale of properties
- Receivables form mortgages
The maximum credit risk for financial assets is reflected in the accounting values of the balance sheet, and taking into account securities received.
Risks concerning to rental receivables are limited to Park Street Nordicom's options to deduct payments from deposits and termination of the covered leases. Credit risk on receivables arising from the sale of properties is limited, as the transactions are always subject to payment of purchase price and deposit of the purchase price. With mortgage deeds, the Group has an usual debtor risk, which is reduced by mortgages on properties.
In order to minimize the risk of loss of receivable rent, the tenants' ability to pay prior to entering into leases is assessed to the extent that it is relevant. In addition, there is usually a requirement for a cash deposit, a guarantee and / or prepaid rent. However, if a tenant is unable to pay, it may result in loss as well as reduced income due to rental allowance upon relocation, lower future rental income and any additional costs incurred in connection with refurbishment etc.
Credit risk on receivables at December 31, 2020 is further described in note 20 of the consolidated financial statements.
Group's cash and short-term deposits consists primarily of deposits in reputable banks. The group believes that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash. Deposits in banks are labelled at variable interest rate.
Financial liabilities with credit institutions and fair value
Group's mortgage debt and bank debt is classified as amortized cost. Fair value of loans measured at amortised cost amount to DKK 1,307,302. Fair value has been determined as the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at a rate reflecting the current borrowing rate. Due to the fact that the terms of all loans were renegotiated in 2017, fair value of all floating rate loans is considered to be equal to their carrying amount. Based on a recent transaction, the fair value measurement is considered a level 2 measurement.
The fair value of zero-coupon debt is established based on the fair value estimated by an independent reviewer (estimated rate of 31.30 at December 31, 2020).
The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified on the following 3 levels in the fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1: Based on listed prices (non-adjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Based on inputs other than listed prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either direct (as prices) or indirect (derived from prices).
- Level 3: Based on data that is not observable in the market.
| Amounts in DKK 1000s | Carry forward balance | Level 1 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |

It is the Group's policy to recognise transfers between the different levels from the time at which an event or change in circumstances entails a change in the classifications. No transfers were made between levels 1 and 2 in the accounting period.
When calculating the fair value of the Group's liabilities in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a correction is made for the Group's own credit rating, taking into account the legal status of the liabilities, and the security in the assets measured at fair value. Consequently, no direct assumptions of discount factors, etc. are included when measuring liabilities to credit institutions in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The table below shows the change in liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value in the balance sheet based on valuation methods in which significant inputs are not based on observable market data (level 3):
| Amounts in DKK million | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount per. 1st of January | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Gains / losses in the income statement | 0 | 0 |
| Redemptions | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer to Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Transfer from Level 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Balance at 31st of December | 3,548 | 3,548 |
| Gain / loss in the income statement for liabilities held at 31st of December | 0 | 0 |
Gains/losses concerning credit institutions measured at fair value are included in the item 'Adjustment to fair value, net' and in the item 'Special items' in the income statement of the consolidated financial statements. Liabilities to credit institutions measured at fair value are transferred to/from level 3 in the fair value hierarchy depending on whether the fair value of the loans contains a correction for the Group's own credit rating.
For financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, the book value is assessed as being a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Note 22 – Accounting policies
Park Street Nordicom A/S applies the same accounting policies as stated in Note 33 on the consolidated financial statements, in addition the following note is applicable for the parent company:
Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are recognised and measured in the financial statements of the parent company under the equity method. On acquisition of subsidiaries, the difference between cost of acquisition and net asset value of the entity acquired is determined at the date of acquisition after the individual assets and liabilities having been adjusted to fair value (the acquisition method).
The item "Income (loss) from investment in subsidiaries" in the income statement includes the proportionate share of the profit after tax of the subsidiary. The item "Investments in subsidiaries" in the balance sheet includes the proportionate ownership share of the net asset value of the entities calculated under the accounting policies of the parent company with deduction or addition of unrealised intercompany profits or losses and with addition of any remaining value of the positive differences (goodwill).
Subsidiaries with a negative net assets value are measured at DKK 0, and any receivables from these are written down by the parent company's share of the negative net asset value, if impaired. Any legal or constructive obligation of the parent company to cover the negative balance of the subsidiaries is recognised as provisions. The total net revaluation of investments in subsidiaries is transferred upon distribution of profit to "Reserve for net revaluation" under equity. Gains and losses on disposals or winding up of subsidiaries are calculated as the difference between the sales value or cost of winding up and the carrying amount of the net assets at the date of acquisition including goodwill and expected loss of disposal or winding up. The gains or losses are included in the income statement.
Financial Ratios
The financial ratios have been calculated as follows:
Return on property portfolio (% p.a.): Gross profit x 100 / Fair value of investment and domicile properties
Average loan rate (% p.a.): Financial items x 100 / Credit institutions
Return margin on property portfolio (% p.a.): Return on property portfolio (% p.a.) - Average loan rate
Return on equity (%): Profit for the period / Total equity
Equity ratio (%): Total equity / Total assets
Net asset value per share, end of period (DKK): Total equity / Share capital
Earnings per share (avg. Number of shares) (DKK): Profit for the period / Average number of shares
Earnings per share, end of period (DKK): Profit for the period / Number of own shares, end period
Result of continuing activities per. share (DKK): Profit for the period / Number of own shares, end period
Dividend yield (%): Dividend per share / Share price, end of period
Price/net asset value, end of period: Share price / Net asset value per share, end of period
Cash flow from operations per share (DKK): Cash flows from operations / Diluted average number of shares in circulation
