Background and strategy

Pioneer Property Group ASA (PPG) is a real estate company focusing on providing high-quality properties for government-backed care-services. The company's current portfolio consists of 136 properties centrally located in the large cities in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The total portfolio houses a total of over twelve thousand children. The properties are leased out on long-term triple-net contracts to large kindergarten operators, including Norlandia Care Group, Espira and Touhula.

The company's property portfolio is a result of the acquisition from several independent preschool operators, again driven by these companies' wish to free-up resources and capital to be able to provide the highest quality possible in their primary focus area – preschool operations. Pioneer Property's kindergartens have during the later years played an important role in the improvement of the Norwegian preschool market, through improved capacity, quality and cost-efficiency.

Going forward the company's strategy is to expand its reach into care-services property with similar characteristics as the Norwegian kindergarten market – i.e. long term contracts with solid operators, again backed by government financing, or lease properties directly to municipalities looking for a solid private real estate partner. PPG's kindergartens are well located in central areas, including Stavanger, Bergen, Kristiansand, Göteborg, Helsinki, and the greater Oslo area.

Key material events during the quarter

The first quarter of 2017 was a stable operating quarter for the Company with no events of material significance above expected normal operating events. Towards the end of the quarter the Company acquired three smaller pre-schools from Norlandia which will be included in the second quarter results and onwards. These three pre-schools will marginally increase revenues going forward. At the end of the quarter, PPG executed the first quarter dividend payment to its preference shareholders.

Subsequent events since the end of the first quarter

There was an extraordinary general meeting held 24th April which approved an extraordinary dividend to the ordinary shareholders of total NOK 5 per share – a total payment of MNOK 49. In combination with payment for the three preschools, dividend payment to preference shareholders, and down payment of a smaller loan, the total cash balance for the PPG group will be lower in the following second quarter of 2017.

Overview of the financial accounts for the first quarter of 2017

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2017 was MNOK 61, compared to MNOK 52 in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of properties acquired during the second half of last year.

Operating profit (EBIT) in the quarter was MNOK 54 and pre-tax profit was MNOK 24, compared to MNOK 47 and MNOK 23 in the first quarter of 2016, respectively.

At the end of the first quarter PPG had total assets of MNOK 4,410, where Investment Properties were valued at MNOK 4,043, and with a cash balance of MNOK 363. Total debt was MNOK 2,582 with total equity of MNOK 1,828. During the first quarter, no events have occurred that should have materially impacted the valuation of the investment properties.

In addition to preparation of the Q1 report, PPG has also identified certain corrections to the 2016 figures. The corrections are not significant and 2016 will not be restated, but are included in the 2016 columns here on a pro-forma basis for information purposes, and adjustments will be made for the full year 2017. The corrections are: Fair value adjustment of investment properties has increased by MNOK 5 from MNOK 242 to MNOK 247, and profit before tax has increased correspondingly from MNOK 285 to MNOK 291. Deferred tax has increased from MNOK 52 to MNOK 70. Total difference in pro-forma and reported 2016 profit after tax is MNOK 13, and equity is MNOK 27.

The financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with International Standards for Financial Reporting (IFRS).

Notes to the Financial Statements - Pioneer Property Group ASA

Note 1: Accounting Principles

1.1 General information

Pioneer Property Group ASA (the 'Company') and its subsidiaries (together, the 'Group') invests in kindergarten, preschool properties and retirement homes and rent the properties out on long term leases. The Group holds investment properties in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Pioneer Property Group ASA is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of the Company's registered office is Rådhusgata 23, 0158 Oslo.

The Company was incorporated 5 January 2015. The Group was formed 12 May 2015 after the acquisitions of Pioneer Public Properties I AS, Pioneer Public Properties II AS, Pioneer Public Properties III AS and Pioneer Public Properties IV AS. See note 11. In 2016 an additional subsidiary, Pioneer Public Properties V AS, was established.

The consolidated interim financial statements covers the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 March 2017 (Q1 column).

1.2 Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The consolidated quarterly reports quarter are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The first quarter report represents an update on new circumstances arising after the annual report of 2016, and is therefore intended to be read in connection with this report.

The first quarter report has not been audited.

Note 2: Financial Risk

2.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by management under guidance by the Board of Directors. Management identifies, evaluates and act upon financial risks.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that future cash flows in the form of interest payments change as a result of changes in market interest rates. Management and the Board of Directors agree on an acceptable level of interest rate exposures, which are monitored continuously by management. The level of interest rate exposure is determined based on an assessment of existing cash flows, general assessment of financial condition and available liquidity.

(i) Fair value interest rate risk

The Group holds interest bearing assets in terms for cash deposits. Fluctuations in interest would yield a higher or lower interest income. At the current level of cash deposits a change in interest rate of +/- 1 % would not be material for the financial statements.

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. The Group holds several types of borrowings. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk

Exposure to cash flow interest rate risk is assessed continuously. The need for a fixed rate is under constant review in relation to the Group to withstand adverse fluctuations in profit due to higher interest rates. Management's assessment is that the Group's current financial position does not indicate a further need for fixed interest rates.

If the interest rate had been +/- 1 % in Q1 2017 the result after tax would be +/- MNOK 6.1 million, all

other conditions unchanged and assuming a floating interest rate on 100% of the Company's borrowings.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss when a party is unable to redeem their obligations to the Group, and credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and credit exposures customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on ratings. The utilization of credit limits is monitored regularly.

No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

Exposure to credit risk at the end of the period:	31-03-17	31-12-16
Accounts receivable	179	582
Other Short term receivable	4,077	8,992
Cash balance		363,321 349,733
Total exposure	367,577 359,307

The credit risk related to outstanding to related parties and banks is considered to be low.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring a significant increase in finance cost or not being able to meet its obligations at all. The risk also includes that the Group must forfeit investment opportunities. Cash flow forecasting is performed at Group level. Group management monitors the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom to avoid breaches in covenants on relevant borrowing facilities as well as capability to pay out quarterly dividends to holders of preference shares. The monitoring takes into account the Group's debt financing plans and covenant compliance.

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:

Maturity of financial liabilities at the end of the period:

	< 3mnths	3m-1y	1y-2y	2y-5y	>5y
Borrowings (bank)	9,493	35,217		65,089 714,026 633,823
Interest on borrowings (bank)	12,196	35,945		46,171 143,938 172,324
Bond loans	-	-	-	1,000,000	-
Interest on bond loans	16,000	48,000		64,000 136,000	-
Other liabilities		47,359

d) Currency risk

Currency risk is a financial risk that exists when a financial transaction is denominated in a currency other than that of the base currency of the company. Currency risk also exists when the foreign subsidiary of a firm maintains financial statements in a currency other than the reporting currency of the consolidated entity. The risk is that there may be an adverse movement in the exchange rate of the denomination currency in relation to the base currency before the date when the transaction is completed.

As the Group has subsidiaries in Sweden and Finland where the currencies are SEK and EUR, respectively, the company is exposed to currency risk as the Group's consolidated financial statements are reported in NOK.

2.2 Capital management

The group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders holding ordinary shares, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including 'current and non-current borrowings' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

Gearing ratio at the end of the period	31-03-17	31-12-16
Total borrowings		2,446,003 2,454,569
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		363,321 349,733
Net debt		2,082,681 2,104,836
Total equity		1,828,161 1,821,844
Total capital		3,910,843 3,926,680
Gearing ratio	53%	54%

Note 3: Segment Summary

The Group's business is to own and manage investment properties in Norway, Sweden and Finland and rent them out to operators of pre-schools. There is no material difference in risk and margins in the different investment properties. The Group is therefore considered to operate in one business area and in three geographical areas

The Group have seven customers: Norlandia Barnehagene, Kidsa Barnehager, Espira Barnehagene, Suomen Tenava Päiväkodit, Norlandia Förskolor, Touhula and Casparssons Vårdhem. A geographical split of revenues for the quarter is as follows:

NOK thousand	Norway	Sweden	Finland	Group
Income from rent	55,931	723	3,679	60,333
Other income	14	-	1,083	1,097
Total Income	55,946	723	4,762	61,431

Note 4: Critical accounting estimates and judgement

The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of items in the statement of financial position within the next financial year are addressed below.

a) Fair value of Investment Properties.

The fair value of investment Properties is assessed quarterly by management. The Investments Properties are on a regular basis subject to on-site inspections and technical evaluations. On an annual basis, in conjunction with preparation of the Annual Accounts, the Company commissions an external valuation report for the portfolio to support managements own estimates. This valuation report is commissioned from a well know and reputable company, and for the last financial year 2016 a valuation report was commissioned from Newsec. There are no changes in the value of the properties in the first quarter 2017. The fair value adjustment in the first quarter is based on an adjusted purchase price for properties acquired in December 2016.

Note 5: Contingencies and commitments

The group entered into an agreement of buying 3 new real estates from Norlandia Care Group

The agreement was signed 31.03.2017, and the real estate will be included in the Q2 report for the group.

Note 6: Earnings per share

a) Basic

The Group's preference shares are entitled to a fixed dividend of NOK 7.50 per annum, if the General Assembly approves payment of dividends. To calculate the earnings per share the entitled dividend to the preference shares is deducted from comprehensive income for the period. The earnings per ordinary share is the remaining comprehensive income deducted the preference share dividend divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

Note 11: Changes in Group structure, acquisitions during the year and subsidiaries

The group entered into an agreement of buying 3 new real estates from Norlandia Care Group.

The agreement was signed 31.03.2017, and the real estate will be included in the Q2 report for the group.

Note 12: Investment Property

Valuation

The Group rents out the investment properties on long term triple net contracts, with an exception on the properties leased to Espira, one of the Group's four main customers. On average, there are 16 years remaining on the lease agreements. All agreements are fully CPI-adjusted annually. The Group does not have any material future maintenance capital expenditure on properties as all maintenance is carried by the tenant as agreed upon in the lease agreements. The properties are primarily located in the greater Oslo area, Bergen, the greater Stavanger area, Bodø, Tromsø, and certain locations in Sweden and Finland. See the Company's web site for a full list and map of all the properties. The investment properties are valued in accordance with the fair value method and all have been valued in accordance with valuation Level 3. The yield level of the properties has been determined on the basis of their unique risk and transactions made at the respective location according to the location price method. At the end of 2016, PPG commissioned an external cash-flow valuation for all the individual properties from Newsec. Newsec has in this report valuated each property on an individual basis using a combination of discounted cash-flow analysis and property yield level. The prime-yield used as a benchmark for individual yield assumptions in Newsec's analysis was 5.25%, and a number of individual factors for each property were applied to

assess the individual yield for the respective property/location. During the first quarter the Company has not experienced or seen any developments that should have a material impact on the total valuation levels of the properties.

Sensitivity analysis

A property analysis is an estimate of the value that an investor is willing to pay for the property at a given time. The valuation is made on the basis of generally accepted models and certain assumptions on different parameters.

million	shares	shares
At 31 March 2017	9.81	6.50

The Company has two classes of shares - ordinary shares and preference shares. The face value per share for both ordinary and preference shares classes is NOK 1.

About the shares

The differences between the share classes are differing voting rights and differing rights to the Company's profit. Besides voting rights, the difference between the Company's share classes is that the preference shares entail a preferential right to the Company's profit through a preferential right over ordinary shares to dividends. The regulations on voting rights and dividends are decided upon by the Shareholders' Meeting and can be found in the Articles of Association.

The ordinary share

The Company's ordinary share confers one vote unlike the preference shares that confer one-tenth of a vote.

The preference share

The Company's preference shares confer a preferential right over ordinary shares to an annual dividend of NOK 7.50 per preference share. Dividend payments are made quarterly with NOK 1.875 per preference share, if approved by the General Assembly. The preference share does not otherwise confer a right to dividend. If the general meeting decided not to pay dividends or to pay dividends that fall below NOK 1.875 per preference share during a quarter, the difference between paid dividends

PIONEER PUBLIC PROPERTIES AS

Background

The Pioneer Public Properties AS (PPP) group of companies was established towards the end of 2015 and comprise all the operational companies in Pioneer Property Group ASA. The reason for establishing this subset group of companies was in preparation for the issuance of the PPP unsecured bond of MNOK 1,000, which was issued in the third quarter of 2016. The financial statements of Pioneer Public Properties AS are therefore very closely related to the financial statements of Pioneer Property Group ASA, with the key difference being the exclusion of the mother company of the PPG group. All operational discussions will be identical for the two groups, and discussions of financial accounts will be similar, with a few exceptions. The comments below are to be read in conjunction with the report for the PPG Group, as also presented in this document.

Discussion of the financial accounts for the first quarter of 2017

Underlying revenues were in line with expectations and PPP's contracted revenues. Total revenues in the quarter were MNOK 61

Operating profit (EBIT) was MNOK 55 in comparison to MNOK 47 in the first quarter of 2016. The increase is related to properties acquired towards the second half of 2016.

At the end of the first quarter PPP had total assets of MNOK 4,241, where Investment Properties were valued at MNOK 4,043, and with a cash balance of MNOK 194. Total debt was MNOK 2,620 with total equity of MNOK 1,620. During the first quarter no events have occurred that should have materially impacted the valuation of the investment properties.

In addition to preparation of the Q1 report, PPP has also identified certain corrections to the 2016 figures. The corrections are not significant and 2016 will not be restated, but are included in the 2016 columns here on a pro-forma basis for information purposes, and adjustments will be made for the full year 2017. The corrections are: Fair value adjustment of investment properties has increased by MNOK 5 from MNOK 242 to MNOK 247, and profit before tax has increased correspondingly from MNOK 282 to MNOK 288. Deferred tax has increased from MNOK 35 to MNOK 69. Total difference in pro-forma and reported 2016 equity is MNOK 39.

The financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with International Standards for Financial Reporting (IFRS).
