This is Recreate

Recreate ASA has previously defined itself as a fullservice property company focused on developing, owning and managing large, sustainable buildings located at central hubs. Based on current financial difficulties the Company has revised former strategy and decided to focus on project development and value creation through letting – historically key areas of success and profitability for Recreate – and consequently emphasize less on long-term management and ownership of properties. At 31.12.22 the Group had 44 employees.

Recreate ASA ('the Group') is organized with Recreate ASA ('the Company') as the mother company, which has 27 subsidiaries (at time of publication). The headquarter is situated in Powerhouse Telemark in Porsgrunn, one of the world's most energy efficient and sustainable buildings. This is the Group's flagship.

The Group was established in 2010 by Emil Eriksrød, and has built a property portfolio in Skien, Porsgrunn and Tønsberg (properties in Bærum and Oslo are sold after balance sheet date). The portfolio consists of 16 properties and 4 projects, with a total of 89 541 sqm (31 December 2022) and a property value of 2.4 NOK billion. The properties are owned by Recreate through single-purpose companies. The occupancy rate is 80.5 per cent, and the average lease contract is for 6.8 years for the property portfolio.

At 31.12.22 the Group had 170 shareholders, of which Norwegian investors held 99.9 per cent of the share capital.

The main purpose of the group's structure is to have flexibility. The company structure will continually be optimized to have flexibility with regard to funding, ownership and key partners going forward.

Our tenant portfolio is divided into five different industries/segments: Office, Food & Beverage, Healthcare and Retail – with Office as the majority at approximately 83 per cent of the revenue. Recreate's tenant portfolio is diversified in number of tenants as well as in business sectors and segments. Public tenants make up approximately 10 per cent of the Group's rental income, another approximately 30 per cent of our revenue comes from large private tenants within banking, insurance, telecom and professional services etc.

Recreate has financial and strategic partnerships with well-renowned partners, such as Bane NOR Eiendom.

The Group has an ownership in RCR Flex (former R8 Evolve). 1 January 2022 the ownership in increased from 75 per cent to 100 per cent and Evolve is now considered a subsidiary. Evolve offers flexible workplaces with access to 25 locations. Evolve offers completely new, flexible and exciting areas. Sustainability is leading when choosing places, buildings, designs, furniture and fixtures. The offices can grow and change together with the customers and get a consistently high standard of common facilities and own offices. All meeting rooms, furniture, operating and common costs are included in the rental agreement.

The Group also has an ownership of 25 per cent of Skien Brygge Utvikling and this investment is considered as investment in associate (31.12.2022). Skien Brygge is a long-term project which involves the development of both residential and commercial properties. The development project is structured in three phases, and the Group has signed a letter of intent for phase two and three of the project with the same ownership as phase one. Phase one of the projects is expected in 2023. The development of phase two and three is estimated in the period from 2025 to 2033. In March 2023, Recreate entered into an agreement with XG Eiendom AS regarding the establishment of a joint venture (RCR Skien) that shall own the Group's properties Arkaden, Nedre Hjellegate 11, Henrik Ibsens gate 6 and the Group's shares in Skien Brygge Utvikling. Xania will also contribute with a commercial property in in the joint venture.

Inkognito Park in Oslo was handed over to the tenants in Q4 2022. The building has undergone a complete internal reconstruction leaving nothing but the facade and a few historically important elements untouched. The property is fully let to Evolve and 24SevenOffice. This property was sold in January 2023.

Fornebuveien 1-3 in Bærum was handed over to the tenants in Q2 2022. Eight of twelve floors have been reconstructed in 2022. The building consists of three vertical volumes with four office floors in each volume. Evolve, Schlumberger, Commfides and Rental Group are tenants. This property was sold in March 2023.

Slottsfjell Park in Tønsberg is a feasibility study which Recreate carried out together with Snøhetta, Skanska, Asplan Viak and Rambøll to determine the possibility of building a Powerhouse Paris Proof office building. The feasibility study consisted of three buildings – all of them were planned as Paris Proof. A planning initiative has been sent to the planning authorities. The initiative was rejected. A new initiative will be submitted after Tønsberg municipality area planning has concluded, expected in Q4 2023. LOI are signed with Capitane Hotels, Rambøll Norge and Evolve.

Skien Brygge

The Group has investments in Orbit Technology with ownership shares of 29.5 per cent. Orbit Technology offers a two-sided technology platform for supply and demand of office space. The subscription-based platform matches free office space with market needs in in real time. The technology also ensures that the buildings are smarter through simpler access control and user administration. The Group's investment in Orbit Technology is considered an investment in associate. During the second half of 2021 Orbit Technology established a US subsidiary called Getorbit.com LCC. to get a presence in the US market.

As we entered last year, I did not foresee the tough times ahead. As I look back, 2022 has been the most demanding year in the Recreate's history. Recreate, like the rest of the property industry, was hit by a perfect storm during the spring 2022. Increasing energy prices, rising interest rates and high inflation created turmoil in the financial market, resulting in tough times for the company.

After the market conditions became increasingly difficult during 2022 and the situation in the company got critical, we have taken many measures. We have sold several properties, we have made large cost reductions including a major downsizing, we have established new partnerships and we have a good ongoing dialogue with our creditors. The power of action has always been one of Recreates key characteristics, and for this past period this quality has been more important than ever before.

Unfortunately, the financial situation made restructuring and downsizing necessary. We have evaluated and reviewed our historical performance and redefined our strategy. Previously, we have proven to be good at value creation through project development. Going forward, our focus will not be on building a larger portfolio, instead we will strengthen our focus on property development and optimization through letting and project execution.

In 2022 we completed two key projects. Inkognito Park in Oslo, the listed building from 1874, has become a highly technological office building and inviting Evolve center. The Fornebu concept building, Grow, has undergone a substantial refurbishment and is leased to, among others, Schlumberger, Evolve and Rental Group. Both properties were sold in the first quarter of 2023. Going forward, developing properties for sale, will be the most important business concept for Recreate.

Further I believe that partnerships will be important for Recreate in our redefined strategy. A good example is the newly formed joint venture with XG Eiendom, a partnership that covers our interests in Skien City and enables us to develop and invest in a city at the core of our geographical focus area.

The focus on sustainability remains a high focus going forward. Sustainability is, and must be, a pillar in everything we do. Our goal is still to reduce C02 emissions by 50% on our projects by 2030. Without the real estate industry's contribution, Norway will never reach the climate goals set in Paris. It is work we want to contribute to.

Although times are still tough and there is a lot of work ahead, I believe Recreate is on a path towards a better future. Our ability to adapt and be flexible have, over the last year, really been tested and will be a key when forming the new Recreate.

Corporate Governance

Recreate has ambitions to exercise good corporate governance at a level similar to companies on regulated markets. Through these ambitions we aim to strengthen confidence in the company and contribute to the greatest possible value creation over time. The objective is to professionalize the whole company; its shareholders, the Board and the executive management through a clear division of roles and responsibilities. Recreate is continuously aligning to comply with the applicable Norwegian code of practice for corporate governance of 14 October 2021. The code of practice is available on the Norwegian Committee for Corporate Governance homepage: www.nues.no.

The following report on corporate governance is done in alignment with how companies on regulated markets report on corporate governance. Below is a description of how the company has complied with the recommendation given by NUES. The report covers each section of the code, and possible variances from the code are specified under the relevant section.

Implementation and reporting on corporate governance

The Board wishes to apply good corporate governance to contribute to a strong trust-based relationship between Recreate and the company's shareholders, the capital market, and other stakeholders. In 2021 the company was listed on Euronext Growth, resulting in some stricter requirements related to especially communication and sharing of information, and overall improved corporate government. This is described in each relevant section.

Business

The Group's business is stated in §3 of the statutes: "The company's purpose is owning, operating and rental of real estate, owning shares in other companies, investing in stocks and other securities, and other activities that are naturally associated with this." Main strategy and objectives within this framework are stated in the Board's annual report.

Capital and dividends

EQUITY

The Group's equity as of 31 December 2022 was 460.3 (951.7) million and gives an equity ratio of 15.7 (32.4) per cent. The Board is not satisfied with the equity situation. Measures are implemented and the Group is currently undergoing a restructuring process.

DIVIDEND

Due to the current situation of the Group dividends to shareholders are not applicable at the present time.

Authorization

The Articles of Association do not contain provisions allowing the Board to decide that the company will buy back or issue shares.

The Board of Directors were in 2021 given power of attorney to increase the share capital by up to NOK 2 465 080. The authorizations were distributed at the ordinary general assembly in April. The objective for the proposal was the Board's wish to be able to issue new shares to support the company's growth and strengthen the capital reserve. It was also decided that the preferential right of the existing shareholders pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act may be deviated from if new shares are issued within the frame described. The power of attorney also included share capital increase against contribution in kind, cf Section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, and allows share capital increase regarding mergers pursuant to Section 13-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act. The described powers of attorney are valid to the 16 April 2023.

In June 2021 parts of this power of attorney was used. Recreate ASA was listed on Euronext Growth Oslo together with a fully subscribed private placement of NOK 75 million. The number of outstanding shares increased from 19 720 640 in Q1-21 to 21 694 324, and the share capital from NOK 4 930 160 to 5 423 581.

The Board of Directors was also given the power of attorney to acquire its own shares at a total nominal value of NOK 496 016, however the company's holding of own shares shall not amount to more than 10 percent of the outstanding shares at any time. The shares can be acquired at respectively NOK 1 at the lowest and NOK 1000 at the highest. It is up to the Board of Directors to acquire and sell shares in the way the Board finds most appropriate, as long as the general principles for equal treatment of shareholders are complied with. The described powers of attorney are valid for one year until the company's Annual General Meeting 2022.

Equal treatment of shareholders

There is only one class of shares in Recreate and all shares have equal rights. There are no voting rights restrictions in the statutes. In June 2021 Recreate ASA was listed on Euronext Growth. This involves increased demands and regulations related to the company's communication with shareholders, stakeholders and the market in general. Information is shared simultaneously, and an annual financial calendar is made available as a stock exchange announcement and on the Group's website. The Board and the executive management aim to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders.

In relation to the power of attorney that was given the Board of Directors in June 2021, it was decided that the preferential right of the existing shareholders pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act may be deviated from if new shares are issued within the frame described.

Transferability

There are no restrictions on share transferability. Shares in Recreate are freely tradable at Euronext Growth. The company has a market maker agreement with Sparebank 1 Markets to enhance liquidity in the trading of the company's shares. The Board considers good liquidity of the share to be positive for the company to be regarded as an attractive investment. The company also works actively to attract interest from the investor market.

General meetings

The Board encourages as many as possible of its shareholders to exercise their rights by attending the General meeting. The 2022 Annual General Meeting is scheduled to take place on 14 April 2023. The company's financial calendar is decided by the Board. Notice of the general meeting, with comprehensive documentation, is made available to shareholders no later than 14 days before the meeting takes place.

All relevant documents relating to the general assembly will be available so that all shareholders can decide on the issues presented to the Annual General Meeting. The chair will ensure a thorough and fair conduct of the general assembly. A chairperson opens the meeting, and the general assembly elects the chair of the meeting. The directors and senior executives are present at the general assembly together with the auditor.

Shareholders who are unable to attend are encouraged to appoint a proxy. The attached summons to the general assembly should be enclosed to related documents and a form of proxy. This form has been prepared so that it will allow voting on each case to be presented, and candidates for election. In the general assembly summons, the procedures relating to participation and voting, as well as use of proxy, are explained.Minutes from the general meeting are sent to the shareholders at the latest 14 days after the meeting.

Nomination committee

The NUES recommendations call for the appointment of a Nomination Committee. The committee's mandate is independent of the Board and the executive management. Members of the Nomination Committee and its chair is elected by the General Meeting and their remuneration is determined by the General Meeting. In 2021 a Nomination Committee was appointed by the General Meeting, and consists of Øivind Gundersen, Erik Gudbrandsen and Tommy Thovsland.

Corporate assembly, board of directors and independence

The company does not have a corporate assembly due to its small number of employees. Board members and the Chair of the Board are elected by the Annual General Meeting each year. The current Board has five shareholder-elected members. The Board's composition is intended to secure the interests of the shareholders in general. The background and experience of the board members are presented on the company's website and in this annual report. Four of the five board members are independent of Recreate's executive management and significant commercial partners. According to the NUES´ principles, the majority of the shareholder-elected members of the Board should be independent of the company's executive personnel and material business contacts. It is recommended that "at least two of the members of the Board elected by shareholders should be independent of the company's main shareholder(s)". This is the case in today's Board. The four independent shareholders are Christina Sundby, George Emil Aubert, Knut Bråthen and Marianne Lie. One board member is a part of the executive management of Recreate. This is Elin Tufte Johansen, who is the CHO/CSO of Recreate.

To counteract independence issues the administration has developed routines and guidelines that ensures equal treatment of shareholders and transactions with related parties. There has been consistently good attendance at the Board meetings in 2022. The Board's expertise is considered substantial with regards to economy, market understanding, and business operations.

The Board currently consists of two men and three women.

The work of the board of directors

The Board has the overall responsibility for managing the company and for supervising the chief executive officer and the company's activities. Its principal tasks include determining the company's strategy and monitoring its operational implementation. It also holds a control function to ensure acceptable management of the company's assets. The Board appoints the CEO.

Instructions which describe the rules of procedure for the Board's work and its consideration of matters have been adopted by the Board. The division of labor between the Board and the CEO is specified in greater detail in standing instructions for the CEO. Instructions for the management clarifies the duties, powers, and responsibilities of the CEO. The CEO is responsible for the company's executive management. Responsibility for ensuring that the Board conducts its work in an efficient and correct manner rests with the Chair.

All transactions with related parties are subject to an independent valuation from a chartered accountant or other expert. This is to ensure that transactions with close associates and intercompany agreements are carried out correctly on an arm's length basis.

Guidelines on conflicts of interest have been developed and included in the instructions for the company's Board of Directors, to ensure that directors inform the Board if they have a significant direct or indirect interest in an agreement being entered by the company. To avoid unintentional conflicts of interest, the company will present an overview which identifies the various roles of its directors, the offices they hold and so forth.

The Board establishes an annual plan for its meetings and evaluates its work and expertise at the end of each meeting. Once a year, the Board evaluates its own work and that of the CEO. As of 31 December 2022, Recreate has not established an audit committee or remuneration committee. It is considered as part of the Board's evaluation whether it is appropriate to establish these committees in 2023.

Risk management and internal control

RISK AREAS AND GENERAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Through its activities, the company has earned substantial financial assets that are exposed to several risk factors. Most of these factors are directly or indirectly affected by macroeconomic situations such as interest rates, the letting market, the property development market and so on. The financial risk is revised and presented to the Board through a financial strategy.

The strategy has continuously been discussed by the Board in 2022 and the administration reports to the Board in each meeting with regards to relevant KPIs within the following risk areas: overall funding, operations and liquidity, interest rate risk, and financial leverage. The target level of each KPI is revised yearly.

In addition to the contents in the financial strategy the following measurements are made in addition to others:

LEGAL RISK

During 2022 the company has hired legal assistance when considering agreements with substantial obligations such as property sales and purchase agreements, large rental agreements, turnkey contracts in development projects and so on. Although there is a cost associated with buying legal services, it is considered important to reduce the risk in agreements with potentially high financial consequences. In 2022 the company has also hired legal assistance related to the restructuring process.

MARKET (PROPERTY VALUE) RISK

Each quarter the company obtains professional third-party valuations of most of its properties to ensure that the values presented in the reports are as accurate as possible, and to become aware of market changes as early as possible. Also, the company considers the property value market risk when setting the target levels in the financial strategy.

MARKET (INCOME) RISK

The company's income is mainly based on leases and the average duration is continuously monitored. Recreate seeks to diversify the different maturities on the different leases to spread risk. Also, the portfolio is diversified when it comes to both industry and geographical segments. To counteract on the market risk related to the letting activity the company has a high degree of service to its tenants. Six years in a row (2015-2020), the company has won the Norwegian Tenant Index, a research survey measuring the degree of content and satisfaction for the tenants. The company believes that providing good services to its tenants helps reduce the letting risk. Guidelines are made to ensure that all tenants with expiring contracts the next year are contacted. Also, when new lease agreements are negotiated, gaining long term contracts is a main objective. The focus on development projects with high environmental and energy standards, such as Powerhouse Telemark, has proven important to be able to sign long-term lease agreements and to diversify the risk over many years.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The financial strategy contains several KPIs set up to reduce the interest rate risk. For instance, interest coverage ratio, average time to maturity (hedges) and percentage of fixed interest rate. The setup of the company's debt structure is considered continually, to obtain the desired diversification and financial flexibility.

OPERATIONAL RISK

The debt coverage ratio (DCR) (net income from property management/total debt service) is a measure of the cash flow available to pay current debt obligations. The ratio states net income from property management as a multiple of debt obligations due within the period, including interest and principal.

The operational risk in Recreate also relates to human error or system failure associated with daily operations. The company is continuously evaluating its workforce to ensure adequate resources for all tasks and mitigate the risk and vulnerability connected to key employees. Further, the board members have significant knowledge and experience within property and contribute with their expertise when needed.

GENERAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING TO THE BOARD

The Board is briefed on developments on the risks facing the company on a continuous basis through the operating reports. The administration prepares periodic operating reports which are considered at the board meetings. These reports are based on management reviews of the various parts of the business and contain an update of the status concerning important operational conditions, financial conditions, project development and a description of the status in risk areas. In addition, quarterly financial reports are prepared and reviewed by the Board and presented to the public through the company website. The financial KPIs are followed up through periodic reports along with updates of forecasts for the year. Reporting also includes non-financial key figures related to the various business areas.

Balance sheet items are reconciled and documented on a continuous basis throughout the year. Significant profit and loss accounts and accounts related to

INTERNAL CONTROL

Risk management and internal control is addressed by the Board. The Board also reviews the external auditor's findings and assessments after the interim and annual financial audits. The auditor's report is presented by the auditor in board meetings and reviewed by the Board. There are thirteen employees in the Company as of 31 December 2022 (total for the Group - including subsidiaries is forty-four employees - with another three employees closely connected to the Company through Rising Investments).

Because of agreements with related companies, many of the authorizations involve key employees in related companies such as RCR Facility Management. The authorizations are given through contractual agreements and follow recognized principles of authorization. The Board performs an annual review of risk areas and the internal control system. The review will seek to pay attention to the recommendation set by NUES, such as:

  • changes relative to previous years' reports in respect of material risks
  • and the company's ability to cope with changes in its business and external changes
  • the extent and quality of management's routine monitoring of risks
  • and the internal control system
  • the extent and frequency of management's reporting to the Board on the
  • results of such monitoring
  • whether reporting makes it possible for the Board to carry out an overall evaluation of the internal control situation in the company and how
  • risks are being managed
  • instances of material shortcomings or weaknesses in internal
  • how well the company's external reporting process functions

Remuneration of the board of directors

Directors' fees are determined by the General Meeting. These fees are based on the Board's responsibility, expertise and time taken as well as the complexity of the business and are not related to results. The board members are not awarded options. For 2022 the remuneration was NOK 80 000 for the ordinary board members. The Chair had an active role in the company in 2022 and the remuneration was NOK 250 000. Further information on the various board members' remuneration is provided in note 11 of the financial statements.

Remuneration of executive personnel

The current remuneration for the company CEO has been settled by the Chair in consultation with other board members. In 2020 a stock option program for senior executives was introduced. Each executive is offered a set number of shares with a duration of up to three years. Senior executives' remuneration is further described in note 11 in the financial statement.

Information and communication

The company seeks transparency to secure the general interest and shareholders' interests in the company. The Group provides timely and accurate information to stakeholders and the financial market through annual reports, quarterly reports, press releases, stock exchange announcements and investor presentations. All information that is of significant importance is shared. The company's reporting is in accordance with the rules in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the requirements by Oslo Stock Exchange for companies listed on Euronext Growth.

An annual financial calendar is decided by the Board every year. The calendar includes the dates of all reports and the AGM and is made available as a stock exchange announcement and on the group's website.

The Board has approved insider instructions for handling insider information and trading of the company's shares.

Company takeovers

The Board has approved guidelines related to the receipt of bids for the company's shares. A potential offer will be managed according to the instructions and the Board will perform assessments to ensure equal treatment of shareholders and their interests. Ordinary operations will as far as possible be shielded from such transactions. The Board does not intend to prevent or obstruct any takeover bid for the company or its shares but will ensure that shareholders have sufficient time and information to be able to form a view of a possible offer for the company's business or shares. The Board will also ensure correct handling of potential inside information. The Board will always make sure that the shareholders' common interests are safe guarded.

Report from the Board of Directors

2022 has been a challenging year for Recreate. The year started off with Covid-19 restrictions, which quickly became history with full reopening of the society in February. Market conditions gradually changed as we approached the first half of 2022 with increased interest rates, rising inflation and high energy costs. This led to higher property yields as well as challenging funding possibilities and a limited transaction market. This has resulted in a tough financial situation for Recreate which is reflected in the results for 2022. Operating income increased from NOK 137.2 million for 2021 to NOK 215.7 million in 2022, and net profit (total comprehensive income) came in at NOK -506.4 million, down from NOK 79.3 million in 2021. Fair-value adjustments for investment properties were down by NOK 422.3 million from 31 December 2021 to 31 December 2022.

THE COMPANY

Recreate ASA ("the Group") is organized with Recreate ASA ("the company") as the mother company which has 27 daughter companies (at time of publication). The Group's properties are primarily comprised of commercial properties in the office and retail segment. The head office is in Porsgrunn. The properties have a market value of NOK 2 380.1 million (NOK 2692.7 million). The portfolio consists of properties and development projects in Skien, Porsgrunn and Tønsberg (properties in Bærum and Oslo are sold after the balance sheet date). As part of an ongoing restructuring process, the redefined strategy is to develop sustainable properties in central and attractive locations with the aim of structured sales after completed development. Rental and operation services will still be central to the development process and preparation for sale.

Evolve is a wholly owned company which offers flexible workplaces with access to 25 locations. The head office is situated in Porsgrunn. Evolve is Norway's leading provider of flexible office solutions build to scale with highly digitalized product offering. All centres are designed for flexibility, smartness and sustainability.

MARKET ACTIVITIES

In 2022 there were several significant transactions in Recreate. In the first quarter of 2022 the company sold two properties, Grønlikroken 5 and Bedriftsveien 52- 58 in Skien. The Group has also acquired the remaining 25 per cent of Evolve, increasing the ownership to 100 per cent from 1 January 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, the Group entered into an agreement with Skanska to acquire Parallell in Oslo. The Group also sold Rødmyrlia 20 in Skien and Østveien 665- 667 in Tønsberg. The four property sales at the beginning of the year were in line with the Group's strategy to focus on large, sustainable properties near city hubs. In the third quarter, the Group increased its ownership in Inkognitogaten 33 from 8.25 pr cent to 100 per cent, and then decreased the ownership to 50 per cent. A challenging market limited the funding possibilities, and the planned acquisition of Parallell was cancelled in the third quarter due to financing conditions. In the fourth quarter, the Group sold Kammerherreløkka, Vipeveien 51, Storgata 106 (to be completed), Versvikvegen 6B (to be completed) and the shares in Sandefjord Eiendomsinvest AS (Nordre Fokserød 14). The Group has also entered into an option agreement for possible sale of Langbrygga 1, with an exercise date at the end of H1-23.

In May 2022 the Group went through a rebranding process and changed name from R8 Property ASA to Recreate ASA. Several key development projects were completed during the year. The rehabilitation of Fornebuveien 1-3, centrally located outside of Oslo, was completed in the second quarter. The project in Inkognitogaten 33, centrally located next to the Royal Castle in Oslo, involved a complete internal refurbishment with a focus on preserving the history of the property. The project was completed in September/October and handed over to the tenants.

Annual rent (based on signed lease contracts) for the Group's property portfolio has decreased from NOK 150.0 million in 2021 to NOK 141.7 million by the end of 2022, mainly due to the sale of above mentioned properties. As of 31 December 2022, Recreate had a management portfolio of 16 properties totaling 67 422 square meters and 4 projects totaling 22 119 square meters.

Our flex-space provider – Evolve – had a solid growth in 2022 and increasing demand. Evolve is a market leader in its segment.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

As a real estate developer, the Group's strategy is to have an ongoing portfolio in project development at all times. In 2022 two projects were completed. Refurbishment of Inkognitogaten 33 in Oslo and Fornebuveien 1-3 in Bærum. Going forward, project development will be an important part of the Groups strategy.

RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Both the administration and the Board assess risk on an ongoing basis. Risk management is carried out by the administration under policies approved by the Board. The Group's risk factors consist of financial and non-financial risks. As part of the ongoing restructuring process, the Group has redefined the Group's strategy, involving a change in focus from building and growing a property portfolio towards becoming a preferred property development company (to a great extent in partnerships). The Group seeks to hold a limited portfolio of development properties with short-term horizon with the intention of future sales. This will affect the Group's financial risk management.

Financial risk

In 2022 the Group has experienced a gradually demanding financial situation with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing. Since Q2 2022, the Board of Directors has been closely involved and ensured monitoring and follow-up through weekly reports and reviews. The Group's liquidity has been monitored on a daily basis by the management. To strengthen the liquidity and financial position, both short-term and long-term, several initiatives have been implemented. Further information is provided in the assessment of going concern in section Group Accounts in this report. The Group seeks a Loan-To-Value ratio that is aligned with the redefined Group strategy. The debt ratio will be at a level adapted to the development portfolio the Group always possesses.

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, and changes in interest rate levels will have an impact on the Group's cash flow. The risk is managed by actively using interest rate swaps and by spreading maturities. The target is to 1) obtain fixed interest rates at 30-60 percent of the debt portfolio, 2) remaining term to maturity of 2–10 years and 3) to diversify the maturity structure.

There are covenants in the Group's bank loan agreements, and as of 31 December 2022, the Group "was not in breach of any covenants."

Market risk

The market value of the Group's property portfolio is affected by cyclical fluctuations in the economy, and a decrease in the market value will reduce the Group's Equity and increase loan-to-value ratios. To reduce the risk concerning changes in the market the Group limits exposures to certain industries and groups of tenants. There is always a risk that yield changes in the market will reduce the value of the portfolio and cause changes in loan-to-value ratios. In order to capture changes in the market values of the Company's properties on an ongoing basis, the portfolio is evaluated on a quarterly basis by independent external valuation experts. During 2022, the market conditions have changed with increased interest rates and tighter funding possibilities, affecting property yields and values. Changes in fair value of investment properties in 2022 were negative at NOK 422.3 million.

Credit risk

The Group seeks to reduce the credit risk by obtaining diversification in the tenant portfolio. As of 31 December 2022, 10.1 percent of the portfolio consists of public tenants and 89.9 percent of private tenants. Also, there is a spread between different industries and geographical exposure between different cities/areas.

Development risk

Recreate's development activity may involve risk related to project costs, future letting ratio, level of rent, cost overruns, delays, delivery shortfalls and market developments. To reduce the development risk, the Group has hired personnel with relevant experience and knowledge in addition to using external resources, for instance legal expertise, when needed.

Reputational risk

The company changed name from R8 Property to Recreate in 2022. Recreate's brand and reputation are important advantages in competition with other companies, and the company focuses on maintaining the positive brand and preventing negative issues concerning the Group. The Group work on conducting transparent business to build and maintain a high level of trust among shareholders, banks and financial institutions, tenants, and society in general.

Climate risk

The Group is exposed to climate risk in form of climate changes that may affect the business (physical risk) as well as financial risks related to the transition to a low-emission society (transition risk). Extreme weather is expected to increase in frequency and makes out a long-term risk, which may harm our development properties and projects, that is our greatest assets. This may also affect our customers, suppliers and partners, and result in project postponements, extraordinary costs, and loss of income. There is also a risk related to not keeping up with the development in the industry, in terms of new technology and other initiatives aiming to reduce emissions and promote climate. The Group may risk losing competitiveness and attractiveness in the market, leading to reduced earnings, challenges related to funding etc. This may l also apply if the Group does not comply with climate related regulations.

The Group seeks to limit these risks through careful and thorough assessments before entering new development projects or investments, prioritizing maintenance on existing portfolio, constantly seeking and implementing new technology solutions with focus on sustainability, stay updated and comply with regulations. The Group aims to achieve a BREEAM-Excellent certification and for rehabilitation on newbuilding projects and BREEAM-Very Good on rehabilitation projects. When deciding on new projects, assessments are made related to climate-friendly construction sites, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions linked to building materials, conservation of biodiversity, energy efficiency and innovative, green solutions. The Group also experience an increased demand for green properties and sustainable solutions from tenants, with willingness of some higher market rent. This development also effects property valuations.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is a leading focus area throughout the organization. The Group published its first sustainability report in May 2022 (available at the Group's website) and sustainability was incorporated in the Group's strategy. Due to the current circumstances with limitations related to resources and capacity, the Group will not publish a separate sustainability report for 2022. The Group has established ethical guidelines that are decided on by the Board, which all employees are obligated to know and understand.

Corporate governance

Recreate ASA has ambitions to exercise good corporate governance at a level similar to companies on regulated markets. The Group is continuously aligning to comply with the applicable Norwegian code of practice for corporate governance of 14 October 2021 (NUES).

Environment

Recreate ASA strives to constantly improve and to operate in accordance with responsible, ethical, and honorable business principles. The Group aims to conduct business in order to keep the impact on resources and the environment on a minimum and well within the requirements imposed by authorities and contracting parties.

Recreate has a direct impact on the climate. This includes consumption of electricity and other energy related to our portfolio of commercial real estate and waste from our project activities. The Group also has an indirect impact through emissions from our suppliers and tenants. The group has a high focus on sustainability and has a goal on reducing emissions the next years.

Recreate ASA is a certified Eco-lighthouse business and works proactively to reduce the environmental impact of the business. The Group works on setting an example of how to develop sustainable projects: Buildings that contribute to local energy collection and production, reuse of water and sustainable use of local materials and suppliers. When establishing new buildings or when renovating existing buildings, Recreate ASA focuses on measures giving positive effects to the environment. Measures may include replacement of ventilation, better heat recirculation, energy-saving lighting, and organizing electric vehicle parking. The Group also has a focus on circularity by increasing reuse and recycling of materials and reduce waste volume. The Group aims to achieve a BREEAM-Excellent certification and for rehabilitation on newbuilding projects and BREEAM-Very Good on rehabilitation projects.

Emission totals/emission accounting is part of our standard operations, according to the GHG protocol. In 2022 we also carried out energy management and energy monitoring system (EMS) for our properties, with the aim of reducing energy consumption and emissions. The EMS system collects and analyzes current flow data on the properties and enables us to capture technical facilities with potential for energy optimization. The system continuously runs analyzes that detect errors that can result in increased energy consumption, as well as alerts "power peaks" so that we can configure technical facilities to spread the energy demand over a period of time to avoid a high load on the power grid. A mapping of the potential of energy reduction of the property portfolio has also been carried put, with concrete measures and cost/benefit analyses.

Working environment

In the first half of 2022 the Group worked systematically with the implementation of HSE and established good routines. As market conditions gradually changed, the financial situation of the company throughout the autumn culminated in a need for cost reductions, including an extensive downsizing with several redundancies and a reduction of about 50 per cent of the Group's employees in a short time. The workforce was reduced in November and December, with expected full effect from Q2 2023. The process was carried out with an emphasis on the involvement of all employees through several information and status

meetings, all managers with personnel responsibility, frequent reporting to the Board, and an offer of career guidance for all concerned.

Apart from these processes, the work environment is assessed as good although the work pressure at times is high. There is a focus on facilitating good work-life balance, where the company emphasizes flexibility in relation to the workplace and the use of home office. The Group had one incident of sick leave absence in 2022 of more than 16 days. Absence due to illness was 1.5 per cent in 2022.

HSE reporting is made quarterly to the Board within the areas of organization, construction projects and operations. The HSE handbook has recently been revised and updated to ensure systematic follow-up, including risk assessment, action plans and evaluation procedures. There were two injuries or accidents within the Group in 2022. One personal injury that occurred when one of our employees worked with waste and received a minor etching injury to the hand. Another accident occurred at one of the properties related to a test drilling outside, which resulted in construction materials falling from the roof inside the building. No people were injured.

Equality and discrimination

Recreate ASA had thirteen employees as of December 2022 (total for the Group is fourty-four employees, with another three employees closely connected to the Company through Rising Investments AS). Ten (thirty-three) of them are men, and three (fourteen) women. The Board of Directors consists of 2 men and 3 women (at the time of reporting).

A basic value in Recreate is that everyone should be equal and have the same opportunities, regardless of gender, age, orientation or background. The Group is continuously working on ensuring equality and preventing discrimination. There is a focus on creating an inclusive culture and encouraging collaboration across positions, age and time of employment. The Group works for a culture that is open, transparent and accepting. To ensure that objectionable conditions can be detected and handled in a good way, routines have been established for how to proceed when a notification is needed, as well as how the recipient should process the notification. There are no cases of discrimination in the Group in 2022.

All employees are compensated based on qualifications, and the pay and working conditions for the Group's employees must be in line with the general or nationwide collective agreement.

Corruption and bribery

The Group has developed ethical guidelines for all employees which aim to promote honesty, integrity and loyalty in all matters. It is emphasized that no employees should use their positions for personal gain. Every employee is obliged to know and comply with these guidelines. Recreate meets public authorities and the market in a responsible and open manner. The Group deals with both suppliers and competitors with honesty and professionalism to help counter corruption and promote healthy social development. Recreate is against money laundering in any form and will take the necessary precautions to prevent the company's transactions from being misused. No cases of corruption are reported in 2022.

Transparency act (human rights and working conditions) Recreate is covered by the Transparency Act and has carried out due diligence assessments in 2022. The Group has performed a risk mapping and assessment of negative impact or damage in the Group's own business, suppliers and business relationships related to human rights and decent working conditions. Areas assessed with the greatest risk are prioritized and are assessed to be related to suppliers delivering services within catering, cleaning and waste management. Inquiries are made to selected suppliers. Internally there is assessed to be higher risk is related to the workload, and the Group has implemented measures facilitating a work-life balance. A complete statement of the Group's due diligence assessment in accordance with the Transparency Act will be published at the Group's website by 30 June 2023.

As part of our work related to ESG, the Group also started the work in 2022 on developing fixed guidelines for supplier requirements, which will be incorporated in the Group's purchasing policy. Employees must follow the policies that apply to purchasing. Likewise, the Group will make demands to our suppliers to follow laws and regulations on corruption, decent employment conditions, and taxes and fees.

GROUP ACCOUNTS Going concern

The second half of 2022 has been challenging for Recreate. Throughout the year market conditions have changed with increased interest rates, rising inflation and energy costs, resulting in higher property yields, as well as challenging funding markets and a limited transaction market. This has resulted in a tough financial situation for Recreate, with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing. To strengthen the liquidity and financial position, both shortterm and long-term, several initiatives have been implemented. Since November 2022, Recreate has sold Kammerherreløkka (December 2022) in Porsgrunn, Inkognitogaten 33 (January 2023) and Fornebuveien 1-3 (March 2023) in Oslo/Lysaker and has several ongoing processes. Through these completed transactions, interest-bearing debt is reduced, and a larger proportion of expensive short-term debt has been paid down. Cost reduction measures were introduced in the last part of 2022, also involving salary reductions, temporary layoffs and staff reductions with a greater effect expected from Q2-23. A financial restructuring process was adopted and commenced at the end of 2022, and a final credit committee approval was obtained from the relevant financial creditors in January 2023. The financial creditors involved in the restructuring process have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid-October 2023 on certain agreed terms.

As of today, the Group is still experiencing a stressed liquidity situation and the basis for continuing as a going concern is contingent upon obtaining significant new capital from, sales of properties or other investments, additional borrowings, placement etc., as well as a successful refinancing of the short-term liabilities in 2023. The Group's financial condition may result in selling investment properties at prices below the booked market value in the current financial statement.

The Group and the Board of Directors would like to point out that there exists a material uncertainty regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group is however optimistic that the ongoing processes mentioned above

will be successful, and in accordance with the Accounting Act § 3-3a, the Group therefore confirms that the financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern.

Financial result

Profit before tax amounted to NOK -410.9. million (111.9 million), down by NOK 522.8 million from the year before. Net profit (total comprehensive income) amounted to NOK -506.4 million (79.3 million) in 2022. The profit includes a change in value of investment properties of NOK -422.3 million (147.0 million). The change in value is mainly related to decreased values in 2022 due to higher yields. Fair-value of investment properties is NOK 2 380.7 million (2 692.7 million) including properties held for sale. The profit for the year is also affented by high expenses in the year. In 2022 there is an impairment of goodwill related to Evolve of NOK 72 million due to uncertainty related to funding and grant of capital given the situation of Recreate ASA. Other significant expenses in the year are costs related to the ongoing restructuring process (NOK 9 million), arrangement fee on financing of the acquisition of Inkognitogaten 33 (NOK 19 million), cancellation of the planned property acquisition of Parallell in Oslo (NOK 27 million) and cancellation of part of Evolve's lease contracts at Parallell (NOK 13 million). This last cancellation significantly limits the future financial obligations of Evolve by NOK 55 million and associated guarantee from Recreate ASA by NOK 11 million (not CPI adjusted).

Statement of income, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows

The annual report has been prepared in compliance with IFRS. This accounting principle has been applied consistently throughout 2022. From 1 January 2022 Recreate increased ownership in Evolve to 100 per cent and Evolve is consolidated in the financial statements and the Group has own-used properties.

Statment of income

Rental income increased from NOK 120.6 million for 2021 to NOK 123.1 million in 2022. Other operating income increased from NOK 16.6 million in 2021 to NOK 92.6 million in 2022, mainly due to the consolidation of Evolve. The Group's financial income totaled NOK 119.8 million (26.6 million), where NOK 33.9 million (22.1 million) was related to derecognition of JCE and associates, NOK 80.4 million (2.1 million) came from changes in fair value of financial instruments and NOK 5.5 million (2.3 million) was interest and other financial income. Financial costs totaled NOK 144.6 million (104.4 million), where interest costs and other costs associated with the Group's financing activities represented NOK 139.8 million (73.7 million) and share of loss from associates and joint ventures amounted to NOK 4.7 million (30.6 million). Profits before tax was NOK -410.9 million (111.9 million), and total comprehensive income after tax was NOK -506.4 million (79.3 million). Tax expense was NOK -67.0 million (32.6 million) and change in deferred tax on comprehensive income was NOK 4.2 million.

Balance sheet

As of 31 December 2022, the Group's assets had a book value of NOK 2 920.5 million (2 936.3 million). Of the total assets, investment properties accounted for NOK 2 380.7 million (2 692.7 million) including own-used properties and properties held for sale. As of 31 December 2022, Fornebuveien 1-3, Inkognitogaten 33, Storgata 106 and Versvikveien 6B are classified as held for sale. Total accounting equity in the Group was 460.3 million (951.7 million).

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities was NOK -4.4 million in 2022 (-30.4 million). The net cash flow from investments was NOK -254.5 million (-163.2 million). There were NOK 151.5 million (105.2 million) in purchase of business. Upgrades and construction of investment properties amounted to NOK 117.8 million (156.3 million) and primarily relates to the project of Inkognitogaten 33, Fornebuveien 1-3 and major tenant adjustments which support value creation. Regular maintenance accounts for a minor amount. Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 307.4 million (182.8 million). Net proceeds of interest-bearing debt were NOK 467.2 million (414.4 million). During 2022 Recreate has made a repayment of NOK 263.1 million (282.8 million) in bank loans. After 31 December 2022 and to the date of this report, two major financial transactions have been completed reducing interest-bearing debt. This involves sale of Inkognitogaten 33 in Oslo and Fornebuveien 1-3 at Lysaker.

The net change in cash and cash equivalents was NOK 48.5 million at 31 December 2022 (-10.8 million). As of 31 December 2022 cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 36.3 million (NOK 24.8 million), of which NOK 26.6 million was tied funds, NOK 6 million was related to joint ventures, and NOK 3.7 million was free funds.

Financial structure and exposure Recreate's loan portfolio is comprised of long and short-term financing in the Norwegian capital market. At the end of the year, loans totaled NOK 2 045.0 million (1 788.3 million) including loans directly associated with assets held for sale. 34 per cent (40 percent) was tied up in different interest rate swaps. As of 31 December 2022, the proportion of short-term debt was high, and the overall loan portfolio has an average time to maturity of 2.4 years. A credit committee approval was obtained from the financial creditors involved in the restructuring process in January 2023 and the relevant financial creditors have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid-October 2023 on certain agreed terms. The most important task ahead for the Group is refinancing of these loans. Average interest cost at 31 December 2022 was 6.12 per cent (3.31 per cent). The loan-to-value ratio as of 31 December 2022 was 85.5 per cent (82.8 per cent when including fair value of investments in jointly controlled entities, associates and shares), compared to 66.1 per cent (60.8 per cent when including fair value of investments in jointly controlled entities, associates and shares) at the end of 2021. Going forward, the Group seeks a Loan-To-Value ratio that is aligned with the redefined Group strategy. The debt ratio will be at a level adapted to the development portfolio the Group always possesses.

PROFIT FOR THE YEAR AND ALLOCATIONS

In 2022, Recreate ASA the parent company of the Group, made a profit after tax of NOK -202.7 (15.2 million) million, as set out in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian generally accepted accounting principles. The Board proposes that the profit after tax of NOK -202.7 (15.2 million) million is transferred from retained earnings for 2022. The result for 2022 is affected by high expenses in the year related to the ongoing restructuring process (NOK 9 million), cancellation of the planned property acquisition of Parallell in Oslo (NOK 27 million), write downs of shares in subsidiaries (NOK 135 million, of which NOK 121 million related to the investment in RCR Flex (Evolve)), and costs from net effect related the transactions of investment in inkognitogaten 33 (NOK 15 million).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events after 31 December 2022 are described in note 31 in the financial statements of 2022. In addition to the sale of properties Inkognitogaten 33 and Fornebuveien 1-3, Recreate has also entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture 50/50 with XG Eiendom AS that shall own the Group's properties Arkaden, Nedre Hjellegate 11, Henrik Ibsens gate 6 and the Groups shares in the Skien Brygge development project. In addition, the parties intend that Kongens Gate 20 and Hesselberggaten 4 shall be acquired by the JV at a later stage. Xania will contribute with a commercial property in in the joint venture. The property company contributed by Xania has a net cash position and the joint venture will therefore be financed to further develop the properties.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In April 2022 the Annual General Meeting elected the Board for one year. The elected Board consisted of George Emil Aubert (the Chair), Knut Bråthen, Christina Sundby, Leif Oddvin Jensen, Elin Tufte Johansen, Marianne Lie and Fredrik Torgersen. Truls Vad Fjeldberg was elected as a deputy member of the Board. In March 2023, Leif Oddvin Jensen and Fredrik Torgersen resigned from the Board with immediate effect. There were 7 ordinary board meetings and 21 extraordinary board meetings in 2022. A separate nomination committee ensures the composition of the board. Every board meeting includes a report of current HSE status, events and deviations – and are treated according to standards.

Recreate ASA has taken out board liability insurance with an annual aggregate limit of liability of NOK 100 million. The insurance covers the Board's legal personal liability for financial damage caused by the performance of their duties and associated expenses with a lawsuit. The coverage also includes boards in subsidiaries of Recreate ASA (with ownership over 50 per cent) and employees representing Recreate ASA in external boards.

OUTLOOK

After a challenging year in 2022 both in term of market conditions and specifically for Recreate, 2023 is shaping up to be a defining year. The macroeconomic outlook is uncertain with increasing inflation leading to expected higher interest rates, and recent banking turbulence questioning the stability of the financial system. Additionally the geopolitical backdrop with the invasion of Ukraine and continued supply chain complications adds another layer of unpredictability for what is ahead.

Recreate has an ongoing restructuring effort, a process that is gaining positive momentum. Recent sale of properties combined with the agreement to establish a joint venture, covering the majority of the Companys investments in Skien, are key pieces of the puzzle towards a solution. The redefined strategy with a renewed focus on property development - a historical core quality of Recreate – is another key piece of the puzzle. There is still a substantial amount of work to be completed before Recreate is through current difficulties, but the signs are positive.

Recreate ASA ("the Company") is (together with its subsidiaries ""Recreate" or "the Group"") dedicated to the development of modern and forward-looking office commercial properties, coworking and technology solutions. These must not only make positive economic and social contributions to the community, but must also be particularly progressive in environmental terms. The Group owns and manages 20 (30) buildings with a total area of approximately 89.5 (109.0) thousand square meters. As of 31 December 2022 the real estate portfolio had a market value of around NOK 2 381 (2 693) million. Recreate's strategic areas are Telemark and Vestfold. The Group has its head office in Dokkvegen 11, 3920 Porsgrunn. The consolidated financial statements were approved by the company's Board on March 30 2023.

NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIC PRINCIPLES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU, as well as additional Norwegian reporting requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost principle, with the following exceptions: investment properties as well as the Group's derivatives have been measured at fair value. Presenting the accounts in accordance with IFRS requires the management to make certain assessments and assumptions. The application of the Group's accounting principles also requires management to exercise judgement. Estimates and subjective judgements are based on past experience and other factors that are considered appropriate. Actual results may deviate from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously reassessed. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the changes occur if they apply only to that period. If the changes also apply to future periods, the impact is distributed over the current and future periods. Note 3 details items in the accounts that are based on a significant amount of subjective judgement. The consolidated financial statements have been presented on the assumption of the business being a going concern.

CURRENCY

The Group's presentation currency is NOK. This is also the functional currency of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries.

Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) in 2022

A number of amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2022, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group exercises control of financial and operating policies, normally through ownership of more than half the capital with voting rights. When deciding whether control exists, the effect of potential voting rights that can be exercised or converted on the balance sheet date is taken into consideration. Secondly, the Group must have the rights to variable returns and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. If all of the following conditions are met, the Group is considered having control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and are deconsolidated when control ceases. Control ceases to exist if a parent loses control of a subsidiary through loss of power or exposure to variable returns. Deconsolidation results in a derecognition of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement, and recognizes the gain or loss associated with the loss of control in profit or loss.

Any change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

For accounting purposes, acquisitions of subsidiaries that do not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3, such as subsidiaries that only consist of a building, are treated as asset acquisitions. The cost of acquisition is then attributed to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date. Expenses associated with the transaction are capitalized under the property. In such cases no provision is made for deferred tax.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated but are considered as an indication that the transferred asset may be impaired.

Transactions with non-controlling interests

Transactions with non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are treated as equity transactions. If shares are acquired from a noncontrolling interest, the difference between the payment and the proportion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets attributable to the shares is re-cognized in the equity of the parent company's owners. Gain and losses arising from the sale of shares to non-controlling interest are similarly recognized in equity.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, any residual holding is remeasured at fair value through profit or loss. Thereafter, the fair values are used as the acquisition cost for accounting purposes, and the holding is treated as an investment in an associate, in a jointly controlled entity or in a financial asset. Amounts previously included in comprehensive income that related to the company are treated as if the Group had disposed of the underlying assets and liability. These may result in amounts that previously included in comprehensive income being reclassified to the income statement.

Joint arrangements and associates

Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. In a joint arrangement, no single party controls the arrangement on its own. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Judgement is required in assessing whether a joint arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of arrangement.

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies.

Recreate classifies its investments based on an analysis of the degree of control and underlying facts. This includes an assessment of voting rights, ownership structure and relative strength, purchase and sale rights controlled by Recreate and other shareholders. Each individual investment is assessed. Upon changes in underlying facts and circumstances, a new assessment must be made as to whether this is still a joint venture/associates. Changes in contractual rights and obligations relating to the underlying asset or debt and changes in the shareholders agreement might lead to a shift in the accounting method.

In joint ventures and associates, the Group's share of the companies' profit/ loss after tax, adjusted for amortization of excess value and any deviations from accounting policies, are presented on a separate line in the consolidated income statement. Joint ventures are recognized in the consolidated accounts using the equity method and presented as non-current assets. When assets are acquired from a joint venture, any gain or loss is only recognized in profit or loss when the asset is sold by the Group. A loss is recognized immediately if the transaction indicates that the value of the company's current or non-current assets has fallen.

A transaction that entails a change of control from an investment in a joint venture or associate to an investment in a subsidiary is treated as a realization and require that a gain/loss at the time of derecognition of the joint venture has to be calculated and recognized in the income statement as results from associates and JVs according to equity method.

The Group has partly ownership in the companies Orbit Technology AS and Skien Brygge Utvikling AS and these investments are treated as associates. Inkognitogaten 33 Holding AS, Dokkvegen Utvikling AS, Fornebuveien 1-3 Invest AS and Vestsiden Terrasse AS is treated as a subsidiary because of control. For information about the evaluation of control, see note 31.

Investment property

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. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property.

Initial measurement takes into consideration the property's cost price, which includes direct transaction costs such as document duty and other public duties, legal fees and due diligence costs. Transaction costs associated with properties acquired through business combinations (as defined in IFRS 3) are expensed.

After initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Investment property under construction is measured at fair value if the fair value is considered to be reliably determinable.

Investment properties under construction for which the fair value cannot be determined reliably, but for which the company expects that the fair value of the property will be reliably determinable when construction is completed, are measured at cost less impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed - whichever is earlier. 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. Valuations are performed as of the financial position date by professional valuers who hold recognized and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. These valuations form the basis for the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Investment property that is being redeveloped for continuing use as in-vestment property or for which the market has become less active continues to be measured at fair value.

It may sometimes be difficult to determine reliably the fair value of the investment property under construction. In order to evaluate whether the fair value of an investment property under construction can be determined reliably, management considers the following factors, among others:

  • The provisions of the construction contract.
  • The stage of completion.
  • Whether the project/property is standard (typical for the market) or non-standard.
  • The level of reliability of cash inflows after completion.
  • The development risk specific to the property.
  • Past experience with similar constructions.
  • Status of construction permits.

The fair value of 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 capitalized 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 derecognized.

Gains or losses as a result of changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized in profit or loss as they arise, and are presented on a separate line after "net income from property management." Investment properties are derecognized 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.

Where an investment property undergoes a change in use, evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale, the property is transferred to property for sale following the accounting principles of IFRS 5. A property's deemed cost for subsequent accounting as property for sale is its fair value at the date of change in use.

Owner-occupied property

Property that has more than an insignificant portion of owner occupation is classified as owner-occupied property following IAS 16. The entity considers both qualitative and quantitative factors when determining whether there is a significant part of the property used for own proposes. If the property is considered owner-occupied, the whole property is accounted for under IAS 16, unless the portions of the property can be sold separately.

A property used by owner is accounted for at revalued value less ac-cumulated depreciation and amortization. An evaluation of fair value for such properties is carried out in the same manner as described for investment properties. Increase in value of owner-occupied property is not recognised in the income statement, but recognised as a change of the revaluation reserve in comprehensive income. An impairment of the value is recognised against the revaluation reserve, related to revaluation of the specific building. If impairment exceeds the revaluation reserve, the remainder is recognised against the income statement.

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property used by owner. Its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting purposes.

If an item of owner-occupied property becomes an investment property because its use has changed, any difference resulting between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the date of transfer is treated in the same way as a revaluation under IAS 16. Any resulting increase in the carrying amount of the property is recognised in income statement to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss, with any remaining increase recognised in other comprehensive income and increase directly to equity in revaluation surplus within equity.

Any resulting decrease in the carrying amount of the property is initially charged in other comprehensive income against any previously recognised revaluation surplus, with any remaining decrease charged to income statement.

Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment (PPE) is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items and where applicable borrowing costs (see below).

Cost of an item of PPE includes its purchase price and any directly attributable costs. Cost includes the cost of replacing part of an existing PPE at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of dayto-day servicing of an item of PPE.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized 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 derecognized. 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 straightline method to allocate the cost over the assets' estimated use-full lives, as follows:

  • Land and property under construction: not depreciated
  • Buildings: 25-40 years;
  • Other operating assets: 3-10 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year-end.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in the income statement.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs for capital used to finance buildings under construction are capitalised under the asset in question. When calculating the capitalised borrowing costs, the average interest rate on the company's debt portfolio over the course of the year is used, unless there is separate financing for the specific project. In such cases the specific borrowing cost for the loan in question is used. When calculating the average interest rate to be used for the capitalisation of borrowing costs, loans taken out for specific projects are not included.

SEGMENTS

Operating segments are reported in the same way as in internal reports to the Group's highest decision-making authority. The Group's chief operating decision maker, which is responsible for allocation resources and assessing the profitability of the operating segments, has been identified as executive board and the CEO.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill is the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the fair value of the Group's share of net identifiable assets in the entity on the acquisition date. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is classified as an intangible asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash flow generating units. Goodwill is allocated to the cash flow generating units or group of cash of generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which the goodwill arose. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. Impairment of goodwill is not reversed. Gains and losses on the sale of an operation including the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the sold operation.

Goodwill arising from the purchase of shares in associates and jointly controlled entities is included under the investment in the associate or jointly controlled entity, and is tested for impairment as part of the carrying amount of the investment.

Software

Purchased software is recognized at cost (including expenditure on making programs operative) and is amortised over the expected useful life. Expenses directly associated with the development of identifiable and unique software owned by the Group are capitalised as intangible assets, and are depreciated over the expected useful life, normally 3-5 years. The Group considers a range of factors in determining if the intangible assets can be recognized in the balance sheet. Factors such as if the completed asset would be available for use or sale, if the Group has adequate technical, financial and other resources necessary for completion of the intangible asset and the probability of the develop asset to generate future net financial benefits. Expenses relating to the maintenance of software are expensed as incurred.

Development projects

Activities related to the application of knowledge to a plan or in relation to a concept or project prior to being taken into use/production, are classified as development activities that are capitalised as intangible assets when the Group considers it likely that the skills developed will generate net financial benefits. Expenses that are capitalised as development projects are directly attributable expenses relating to the development of the new skills.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are instead tested annually for impairment. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are depreciated are also tested for impairment if there is any indication to suggest that future cash flows cannot justify the carrying amount of the asset. Write-downs are recorded through the income statement as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal and the value in use When testing for impairment, non-current assets are grouped at the lowest possible level at which it is possible to identify independent cash inflows (cash flow generating units). In conjunction with each financial report, the company assesses whether it is possible to reverse past write-downs of nonfinancial assets (except goodwill).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is defined as being any contract that gives rise to a financial asset at one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument at another entity. Financial instruments are recognised on the transaction date, i.e. the date on which the Group commits to buying or selling the asset.

Financial assets are classified in the following categories: • Financial assets at amortised cost

  • Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses
  • Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition
  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and,
  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Groups financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables and other short-term deposit. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities at amortised cost. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise loans designated at fair value upon initial recognition (fair value option) and derivatives. Financial liabilities at amortised cost consist of liabilities that do not fall under the category at fair value through profit or loss.

Inventory Property

Property being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation, is held as inventory property and measured at the lower of net realizable value (NRV) and cost.

Inventory property is residential property that the Group develops and intends to sell before, or on completion of, development.

Cost incurred in bringing each inventory property to its present condition and location includes:

  • Acquisition cost of the land
  • Amounts paid to contractors for development
  • Planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees for legal services, development overheads and other related costs

When an inventory is sold, the carrying amount of the property is recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The carrying amount of inventory property recognized in profit or loss is determined with reference to directly attributable costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any other related costs based on the relative size of the property sold.

Trade receivables and other financial assets

Trade receivables and other financial assets are classified as amortised cost. The Group applies the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime expected credit losses. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates the debtors past default events, current financial situations and forward-looking factors such as the general economic condition of the industry, debtor specific factors and so on. The Group considers all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. Any subsequent payments received against accounts for which a provision has previously been made are recognized in the profit & loss statement. Trade receivables and other financial assets are classified as current assets, unless they are due more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. If so, they are classified as non-current assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with an original term to maturity of no more than three months.

Financial derivatives

The Group uses derivatives to manage its interest rate risk. Financial derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments but are valued at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement. Regular payments are presented as interest and other finance expenses. Changes in the value of the derivatives are presented under "Unrealised changes in value of financial instruments".

The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay to redeem the contracts on the balance sheet date. This amount will depend on interest rates and the contracts' remaining term to maturity. The derivatives are classified on the balance sheet as current liabilities or non-current liabilities, depending on whether they are expected to be redeemed under or over 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Trade payables and other non-interest-bearing financial liabilities Trade payables and other non-interest-bearing liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost, and are measured at fair value upon initial recognition, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest is ignored if it is insignificant.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is included as net realized financial in the statement of profit or loss. The liabilities are measured at their nominal value when the effect of discounting is immaterial. Interest-bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities where the debt is due for repayment less than 12 months from the balance sheet date.

PENSIONS

The Group has defined contribution pension plans.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. The Group's pension scheme satisfies the requirements of the Norwegian Act on Compulsory Occupational Pensions.

TAX

The tax expense consists of tax payable and deferred tax. Tax is charged to the income statement, except where it relates to items that are recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. In such cases, the tax is either recognised in comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method for all temporary differences between the tax values and consolidated accounting values of assets and liabilities. Any deferred tax arising from the initial recognition of a liability or asset in a transaction which is not a business combination and which on the transaction date does not affect accounting or tax results is not recognised on the balance sheet. Deferred tax is defined using tax rates and laws which are enacted or likely to be enacted on the balance sheet date, and which are expected to be used when the deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax is utilised. Deferred tax is calculated and provided or reduced in the event of adjustments to the value of investment properties at a nominal tax rate of 22 per cent from 31 December 2022.

For investment properties acquired through the purchase of shares in property companies or not acquired through a business combination, in the event of an adjustment in value, deferred tax is calculated on the property's fair value. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is likely that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be offset.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in jointly controlled entities, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Nor is a liability for deferred tax calculated upon initial recognition of assets or liabilities obtained through an acquisition of a subsidiary not classified as a business combination.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

RCR's key sources of income include:

  • Rental income
  • Sale of flexible workplace
  • Services to tenants including management charges and other expenses recoverable from tenants
  • Sale of inventory property completed property

The accounting for each of these elements is discussed below.

Rental income

The Group earns revenue from acting as a lessor in operating leases which do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an investment property.

Rental income arising from operating leases on investment property is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature, except for contingent rental income which is recognized when it arises. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

Lease incentives that are paid or payable to the lessee are deducted from lease payments. Accordingly, tenant lease incentives are recognized as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease together with any further term for which the tenant has the option to continue the lease, where, at the inception of the lease, the Group is reasonably certain that the tenant will exercise that option.

The initial direct costs and tenant lease incentives are presented as cur-rent assets in the line item 'Prepayments' in the statement of financial position is amounts received from tenants to terminate leases or to compensate for dilapidations are recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the right to receive them arises.

Sale of flexible workplace

The Group earns revenue from providing flexible workspace to customers. The customers gain access to office space with all the necessary office equipment, meeting rooms, coffee machines etc. The Group provides flexible office space as in four categories:

  • Flexible office space
  • Office space with a guaranteed seat
  • Office space in locked team rooms
  • Enterprise (where the Group and the customers agrees upon the space needed for the specific request)

The four categories give the customers the right to use office space in the Groups office spaces in southern Norway. Furthermore, the customers enter into agreements with the Group mainly on short durations. The Group is given the right to adjust the space used by the customer either by giving the customer the right to a similar office space having the same attributes, either in the same building or in another location nearby.

Revenue from the provision of these services to customers is measured at the fair value of the consideration received.

The Group has determined that providing flexible workspace are within the scope of IFRS 15 and as such recognized in the profit and loss statement at the same time as the service is provided the customer.

Revenue from services to tenants

For investment property held primarily to earn rental income, the Group enters as a lessor into lease agreements that fall within the scope of IFRS 16. These

NOTE 3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND SUBJECTIVE JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current market conditions and other factors.

Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates, assumptions and management judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.

Fair value of investment properties and owner-occupied property

Each quarter, selected properties representing over approximately 70 % of the total portfolio value are valued by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold a recognised relevant professional qualification and have recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued. At 31 December 2021 external valuations were obtained from both Newsec AS and Akershus Eiendom AS. At 31 December 2022 67% of the fair value of investment properties was obtained from external valuation from Newsec. The remaining value of the investment property portfolio was set based on sales agreements (28%) and management assessments (5%).

External valuations

67% of the total value of investment properties at 31 December 2022 was set based on external valuations from Newsec. The valuations are mainly based on the discounted cash flow method, which involves discounting future cash flows over a period of 10-15 years using an estimated discount rate and then adding a residual value at the end of the period. Future cash flows are calculated on the basis of the gross cash flows from signed leases less maintenance cost, other operating and management expenses, as well as future cash flows based on an expected market rent at the end of the lease terms. The fair value of investment properties is therefore mainly affected by expected market rents, discount rate, exit yield and inflation. The market rent for each property takes into account the property's situation, standard and leases signed for comparable properties in the area. For the duration of existing lease terms, the discount rate is mainly based on an assessment of the individual tenants' financial solidity and classification. After the end of the lease term, cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that takes into account the risk relating to letting and location. Inflation is estimated using the consensus of a selection of banks and official statistics.

When carrying out their valuations, the valuers receive comprehensive details of the leases for the properties, floor space and details of any vacant premises, and up-to-date information about all ongoing projects. Any uncertainties relating to the properties/projects and leases are also clarified verbally and in writing as and when required. The Group management performs internal controls to ensure that all relevant information is included in the valuations.

The valuers perform their valuations on the basis of the information they have received, and estimate future market rents, yields, inflation and other relevant parameters. Each individual property is assessed in terms of its market position, rental income (contractual rents versus market rents) and ownership costs, with estimates being made for anticipated vacancy levels and the need for alterations and upgrades. The remaining term of the leases is also assessed for risk, along with any special clauses in the contracts. If available, each property is also compared with recently sold properties in the same segment (location, type of property, mix of tenants, etc.)

Property sales agreements

28% of the total value of investment properties at 31 December 2022 was set based on sale purchase agreements and fair value is set to agreed sales price.

Management assessments

5% of the total value of investment properties at 31 December 2022 was set based on management assessments. For a selection of properties fair value is based on assessments made by the management. These properties were at the latest valued externally at 31 December 2021 and are properties with minor changes related to tenant composition and contractual conditions during 2022. Fair values are estimated using last year's value as a starting point, adjusting for generel change in market conditions yield increase in the area (based on external valuations form Newsec on similar properties in the same areas as of 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022) as well as changes in signed contracts with tenants from last year's external valuatuon 31 December 2021 to 31 December 2022.

Value changes comprise realised and unrealised changes in value and are reported net for all properties. The unrealised change in value is calculated on the basis of the valuation at the end of the financial year compared with the same period in the previous year plus capitalised, value enhancing investment during the year.

For properties acquired during the year, unrealised changes in value are calculated as the difference between the valuation at the end of the financial year and the cost of the acquisition plus any value enhancing investments. For properties sold during the year, changes in value are calculated as the difference between the sales price less sales costs and value enhancing investments undertaken in the financial year.

More information about the fair value measurement is set out in note 8, 15 and 32.

The table below shows to what extent the value of the property portfolio that is externally valued (67% at 31 December 2022 and 94% at 31 December 2021) is affected by inflation, market rents, discount rates (interest rates) and exit yields (market yields), assuming that all other factors are equal.

agreements include certain services offered to tenants (i.e., customers) including common area maintenance services (such as cleaning, security, landscaping and snow removal of common areas), as well as other support services (e.g., reception services, catering and other event related services).

The consideration charged to tenants for these services includes fees charged based on a percentage of the rental income and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred. These services are specified in the lease agreements and separately invoiced.

The Group has determined that these services constitute distinct non-lease components (transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset) and are within the scope of IFRS 15. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the separate lease and revenue (non-lease) components on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

In respect of the revenue component, these services represent a series of daily services that are individually satisfied over time because the tenants simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group. The Group applies the time elapsed method to measure progress.

The consideration charged to tenants for these services is based on a percentage of the rental income. The variable consideration only relates to the non-lease component and is allocated to each distinct period of service (i.e., each day) as it meets the variable consideration allocation exception criteria.

The Group arranges for third parties to provide certain of these services to its tenants. The Group concluded that it acts as a principal in relation to these services as it controls the specified services before transferring them to the customer. Therefore, the Group records revenue on a gross basis.

Revenue from services to tenants is presented as other operating revenue in the income statement alongside income from revenue from contracts with customers.

Total operating income consists of rental income and other operating revenue. Gains on the sale of property are presented as part of the change in fair value. Gains on the sale of property are presented as part of the change in fair value. Rental income encompasses the fair value of the payments received for services that fall within the ordinary activities of the company. Rental income is presented net of VAT, rebates and discounts. Shared costs are capitalized alongside payments on account from tenants and therefore have no impact on the income statement. Shared costs are settled after the balance sheet date.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The Group reports cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. Interest received is presented within investing cash flows; interest paid is presented within operating cash flows. The acquisitions of in-vestment properties are disclosed as cash flows from investing activities because this most appropriately reflects the Group's business activities. Dividends paid to shareholders and non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities.

  • Financing risk

The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits.

Credit and counterparty risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Stable, predictable and long-term access to capital is critical for Recreate. The Group considers that the ability of trade creditors to behave predictably over the long term is often dependent on their creditworthiness. For this reason, Recreate wants the Group's trade creditors to be of a good credit quality and has established credit rating limits for the Group's trade creditors. The Group structures the levels of credit risk it accepts by placing limits on its exposure to a single counterparty, or

groups of counterparties, and to geographical and industry segments. The credit ratings of the Group's financial counterparties are continuously monitored.

Climate risk

Climate risk is the risk that the Group and its business is affected by climate changes (physical risk) and as well as financial risk related to the transition to a low-emission society (transition risk). Extreme weather is expected to increase in frequency and makes out a long-term risk, which may harm our development properties and projects, that is our greatest assets. This may also affect our customers, suppliers and partners, and result in project postponements, extraordinary costs and loss of income. There is also a risk related to not keeping up with the development in the industry, in terms of new technology and other initiatives aiming to reduce emissions and promote climate. This is crucial to stay competitive in the industry and attractive in the market, secure profitability, access to funding etc. The same will also apply if the company does not focus on and comply with climate related regulations. The company seeks to limit these risks though careful and thorough assessments before entering new development projects or investments,

prioritizing maintenance on existing portfolio, constantly seeking and implementing new technology solutions with focus on sustainability, stay updated and comply with regulations.

This analysis is based on discounting future cash flows from operations over a period of 10 years (in order to reflect the transition from the current growth stage to a steady state) using an estimated discount rate (set as the rate used in the recent valuation of Evolve from BDO). Future cash flows are calculated on the basis of rent revenues, which are a result of available workstations multiplied by the desk occupancy rate and the average price per workstation (based on estimates set by the management of Evolve for the next years (2023-2024)), less direct costs and overhead (no growth considered as assessed to be at a stable level). An assumption is made that all leases related to the differnt centres will be renewed except for centres that are to be terminated. A longer period than just the length of the contract for the individual locations is used due to the industry fact that it takes around 3 years on average to build up and achieve a break-even occupancy, and additional years in order for centres to become profitable.Through the analysis, estimated losses related to right of use of the different locations are identified. An assessment is also made by the management of the profitability and importance of each location (centre) seen in the context of the entire network of centres. For centres that are to be terminated, an assessment is made of the lowest of a termination cost and net present value of future discounted cash flows related to the location.

Financial risk factors The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks. Financial risks are risks arising from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during or at the end of the reporting period. The Group's finance strategy shall ensure that the Group has financial flexibility and that it achieves competitive financial terms. The Group is exposed to financial risk and has defined the following relevant risk areas: As of 31 December 2022 an impairment test is performed for right-of-use assets and goodwill related to Evolve.

Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Since the second half of 2022 the Group has experienced a tough financial situation with stressed liquidity. Changes in market conditions with increased interest rates, rising inflation and energy costs, have affected property property yields as well as funding possibilities, resulting in weak transaction market and unsatisfactory expensive short-term financing.

An additional adjustment is also made related to revenue growth rate in the first years (2023-2025). The growth rate in the valuation from BDO is assessed as optimstic in light of the development until today, and the revenue growth rate is therefore reduced in the impairment test.

Liquidity is the most important focus on the Group at the time and to strengthen the liquidity and financial position, both short-term and long-term, several initiatives have been implemented. Since November 2022, Recreate has sold Kammerherreløkka in Porsgrunn, Inkognitogaten 33 og Fornebuveien 1-3 in Oslo/Lysaker and has several ongoing processes today.

Cost reduction measures were introduced in the last part of 2022, aslo involving salary reductions, temporary layoffs and staff reductions with a greater effect expected from Q2-23. A restructuring process was adopted and commenced in the end of 2022. An important part of this process is a credit committee approval obtained from the financial creditors in January 2023. All the financial creditors have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid-October 2023 on certain agreed terms. The suspension represents a positive starting point in the discussions with financial creditors towards achieving the common long-term goal of strengthening Recreate to face the challenges ahead for the benefit of Recreate and all stakeholders involved. In 2022 the Group acquired RCR Flex AS (Evolve). The Evolve transaction was considered to represent a business combination, see note 27.

  • Currency risk

The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. Risk management is carried out by the administration under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The administration identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and investing excess liquidity.

Financing risk

Financing risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to obtain funding, obtain funding only to a certain extent or can only receive funding on unfavorouble terms.

The company seeks to limit financing risk through: - requirements for committed capital to cover refinancing requirements - average credit period requirements - the use of various credit markets and counterparties - spread maturity structure for the Group's financing

Since the second half of 2022 Recreate has experienced a tough period for the Group with changed market conditions and tightened fundig possibilites. This resulted in uncertain short-term debt refinancing and unsatisfactory financing solutions. A greater proportion of this short-term expensive debt have been paid off through proprty sales in 2023.

See note 32 going concern.

Capital management and solvency

The main purpose of the Group's capital management is to maintain a good balance between debt and equity, in order to maximise the value of the shares in the Group, while also maintaining a good credit rating, and obtaining loan terms with lenders that reflect the risk profile of the Group. The Group seeks to achieve a most correct Loan-To-Value ratio that is in line with the new company strategy. The Group's debt ratio will be reduced to a level adapted to a development portfolio. Current LTV-ratio is 85%.

Interest rate risk

As the Group's interest-bearing asse+ts do not generate significant amounts of interest, changes in market interest rates do not have any significant direct effect on the Group's income.

The Group's interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 21). Interest rate risk affects the Group's cash flows and the market value of the Group's liabilities. The main purpose of the Group's interest rate strategy is to ensure that the Group achieves the desired balance between the interest expense and interest rate risk. The Group's interest rate risk is managed in line with the Group's new strategy. This involves holding a limited portfolio of development properties with a short-term horizon, and for these properties the following financial policy requirements apply: - 30-60 per cent of the interest-bearing debt to be hedged at fixed interest rate - average remaining time to maturity for interest rate hedges in the interval 2–10 years

  • diversification of the maturity structure for fixed interest rates

The Group's policy is to fix the interest rate on its variable interest borrowings. To manage this, the Group enters into interest rate swaps in which the Group agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. The Group's interest rate risk is managed through the requirements for fixed interest rates for at least 30 per cent of the debt portfolio, an average remaining term to maturity in the range of 2–10 years and diversification of the maturity structure for fixed interest rates. Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are interest free and with a term of less than one year, so it is assumed that there is no interest rate risk associated with these financial assets and liabilities.

At 31 December 2022, the weighted average remaining term to maturity was 2.4 years. The average interest rate was 6.12 per cent at 31 December 2022

Credit and counterparty risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Stable, predictable and long-term access to capital is critical for Recreate. The Group considers that the ability of trade creditors to behave predictably over the long term is often dependent on their creditworthiness. For this reason, Recreate wants the Group's trade creditors to be of a good credit quality and has established credit rating limits for the Group's trade creditors. The Group structures the levels of credit risk it accepts by placing limits on its exposure to a single counterparty, or groups of counterparties, and to geographical and industry segments. The credit ratings of the Group's financial counterparties are continuously monitored.

Furthermore, the Group had around 91% of its estimated marked value of properties and 91% of its rental income geographically from the county of Vestfold Telemark, while the rest was located in the Oslo area.

Recreate had one ongoing newbuild project in Porsgrunn (research center - Polymer Exploration Center) in 2021. This is included in development portfolio. The project was owned 50% by Recreate. Futhermore, Recreate had feasibility studies on additional four properties.

In the fourth quarter of 2021 the Group reassessed the property Mulighetenes By (Arkaden) as a project and this is included in the project portfolio.

Parking areas (sqm) are not included in this overview.

The second half of 2022 has been challenging for Recreate. Throughout the year market conditions have changed with increased interest rates, rising inflation and energy costs, resulting in higher property yields, as well as challenging funding markets and a limited transaction market. This has resulted in a tough financial situation for Recreate, with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing. To strengthen the liquidity and financial position, both short-term and long-term, several initiatives have been implemented. Since November 2022, Recreate has sold Kammerherreløkka (December 2022) in Porsgrunn, Inkognitogaten 33 (January 2023) and Fornebuveien 1-3 (March 2023) in Oslo/Lysaker and has several ongoing processes. Through these completed transactions, interest-bearing debt is reduced, and a larger proportion of expensive short-term debt has been paid down. Cost reduction measures were introduced in the last part of 2022, also involving salary reductions, temporary layoffs and staff reductions with a greater effect expected from Q2-23. A financial restructuring process was adopted and commenced at the end of 2022, and a final credit committee approval was obtained from the relevant financial creditors in January 2023. The financial creditors involved in the restructuring process have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid-October 2023 on certain agreed terms.

As of today, the Group is still experiencing a stressed liquidity situation and the basis for continuing as a going concern is contingent upon obtaining significant new capital from, sales of properties or other investments, additional borrowings, placement etc., as well as a successful refinancing of the short-term liabilities in 2023. The Group's financial condition may result in selling investment properties at prices below the booked market value in the current financial statement.

The Group and the Board of Directors would like to point out that there exists a material uncertainty regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group is however optimistic that the ongoing processes mentioned above will be successful, and in accordance with the Accounting Act § 3-3a, the Group therefore confirms that the financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern.

NOTE 33 MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS GOING CONCERN

NOTE 32 EVENTS AFTER THE DATE OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

SHARES IN SUBSIDIARIES OWNED THROUGH SUBSIDIARIES:

Recreate is experiencing a tough financial situastion, with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing. A restructuring process was also adopted and commenced in the end of 2022, and an important part of this process is a credit committe approval obtained from the financial creditors in January 2023. All the financial creditors have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid October 2023 on certain agreed terms. In order to improve the financial situation of the Group, property transactions have also taken place. In Q1 2023 the Group has sold shares in Inkognitogaten 33 Holding AS and entered an agreement on sale of Fornebuveien 1-3, reducing interest-bearing debt of which a larger proportion is expensive short-term debt. As part of the ongoing restructuring proceses, the Group has redefined the Group's strategy, involving a change in focus from building and growing a property portfolio towards becoming the best at developing properties to a great extent in partnerships. The Group has taken the first steps towards this strategy and this will be the focus going forward. In March 2023 Recreate entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture 50/50 with XG Eiendom AS that shall own the Group's properties Arkaden, Nedre Hjellegate 11, Henrik Ibsens gate 6 and the Groups shares in the Skien Brygge development project. In addition, the parties intend that Kongens Gate 20 and Hesselberggaten 4 shall be acquired by the JV at a later stage.Xania will contribute with a commercial property in in the joint venture. The property company contributed by Xania has a net cash position and the joint venture will therefore be financed to further develop the properties.

The Group is considered having control of companies in which the Group holds 50% of the shares for the following: Vestsiden Terrasse AS, Dokkvegen Utvikling AS, Inkognitogaten 33 Holding AS and Fornebuveien 1-3 Invest AS. These companies are being fully consolidated as a consequence of the assessment of control. The Group has the power to control decision-making through their influence and has the seat of the chairman. The parties holds an equivalent number of board seats.

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The cost method is applied to investments in subsidiaries and associates in the company accounts. The cost price is increased when funds are added through capital increases or when group contributions are made to subsidiaries. Dividends received are initially taken to income. Dividends exceeding the portion of retained equity after the purchase are reflected as a reduction in purchase cost. Dividend/group contribution from subsidiaries are reflected in the same year as the subsidiary makes a provision for the amount. Dividend from other companies are reflected as financial income when it has been approved.

Classification of balance sheet items

Assets intended for long term ownership or use have been classified as fixed assets. Assets relating to the trading cycle have been classified as current assets. Other receivables are classified as current assets if they are to be repaid within one year after the transaction date. Similar criteria apply to liabilities. First year's installment on long term liabilities and long term receivables are, however, not classified as short term liabilities and current assets.

Taxes

The tax charge in the income statement includes both payable taxes for the period and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at relevant tax rates on the basis of the temporary differences which exist between accounting and tax values, and any carry forward losses for tax purposes at the year-end. Tax enhancing or tax reducing temporary differences, which are reversed or may be reversed in the same period, have been eliminated. The disclosure of deferred tax benefits on net tax reducing differences which have not been eliminated, and carry forward losses, is based on estimated future earnings. Deferred tax and tax benefits which may be shown in the balance sheet are presented net.

Tax reduction on group contributions given and tax on group contribution received, booked as a reduction of cost price or taken directly to equity, are booked directly against tax in the balance sheet (offset against payable taxes if the group contribution has affected payable taxes, and offset against deferred taxes if the group contribution has affected deferred taxes). Deferred tax is reflected at nominal value.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances on bank accounts and net deposits in the group account scheme. The difference in net deposits in the company's account in the group account scheme and net deposits in the group account scheme for the Group overall will be presented as intercompany balances.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, and other short term investments which immediately and with minimal exchange risk can be converted into known cash amounts, with due date less than three months from purchase date.

Operating revenues and costs

The cost method is applied to investments in subsidiaries and associates in the company accounts. The cost price is increased when funds are added through capital increases or when group contributions are made to subsidiaries. Dividends received are initially taken to income. Dividends exceeding the portion of retained equity after the purchase are reflected as a reduction in purchase cost. Dividend/group contribution from subsidiaries are reflected in the same year as the subsidiary makes a provision for the amount. Dividend from other companies are reflected as financial income when it has been approved.

The annual accounts have been prepared in compliance with the Accounting Act and accounting principles generally accepted in Norway.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with the Accounting Act requires the use of estimates. The application of the company's accounting principles also require management to apply assessments. Areas which to a great extent contain such assessments, a high degree of complexity, or areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant for the financial statements, are described in the notes.

Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

Subsidiaries are all entities which the Group exercises control of financial and operating policies, normally through ownership of more than half the capital with voting rights. Associates are companies over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Significant influence normally exists where the Group's investment represents between 20 and 50 per cent of the capital with voting rights.

Investment in other shares are valued at the lower of aquisition cost and fair value on the balance sheet date.

3) During the year, Recreate has made a prepayment for the purchase of Lørenveien 73 (Parallell) in Oslo. When the purchase was cancelled, there was a fee of MNOK 27 to be deducted from the prepayment as well as transaction costs of MNOK 1.7 related to the failed acquisition. Furthermore, R-Venture has used the option to purchase shares in Inkognitogaten 33 Holding AS. This resulted in a negative effect of MNOK 20.5.

The fair value of the share options is estimated at the grant date using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The fair value takes into consideration the exercise price settled to market price of the Group at the start of the grant period, the market value at the reporting date, risk free rate, divident yield, volatility and the length of the share options. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period equivalent to the life of the granted options is indicative for future trends. As a result, expected volatility is measured by calculating actual volatility of a similar company traded on the Oslo stock exchange. The fair value of the options are expensed in the profit and loss statement.

NOTE 13 EVENTS AFTER THE DATE OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

The second half of 2022 has been challenging for Recreate. Throughout the year market conditions have changed with increased interest rates, rising inflation and energy costs, resulting in higher property yields, as well as challenging funding markets and a limited transaction market. This has resulted in a tough financial situation for Recreate, with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing. To strengthen the liquidity and financial position, both short-term and long-term, several initiatives have been implemented. Since November 2022, Recreate has sold Kammerherreløkka (December 2022) in Porsgrunn, Inkognitogaten 33 (January 2023) and Fornebuveien 1-3 (March 2023) in Oslo/Lysaker and has several ongoing processes. Through these completed transactions, interest-bearing debt is reduced, and a larger proportion of expensive short-term debt has been paid down. Cost reduction measures were introduced in the last part of 2022, also involving salary reductions, temporary layoffs and staff reductions with a greater effect expected from Q2-23. A financial restructuring process was adopted and commenced at the end of 2022, and a final credit committee approval was obtained from the relevant financial creditors in January 2023. The financial creditors involved in the restructuring process have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid-October 2023 on certain agreed terms.

As of today, Reacreate is still experiencing a stressed liquidity situation and the basis for continuing as a going concern is contingent upon obtaining significant new capital from placement, sale of subsidiaries, additional borrowings etc., as well as a successful refinancing of the short-term liabilities in 2023. The Group's financial condition may result in selling subsidiaries (SPV's owning investment property) at prices below the carrying amount in current financial statement.

The Group and the Board of Directors would like to point out that there exists a material uncertainty regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group is however optimistic that the ongoing processes mentioned above will be successful, and in accordance with the Accounting Act § 3-3a, the Group therefore confirms that the financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern.

NOTE 14 MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS GOING CONCERN

NOTE 12 OTHER NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

Recreate is experiencing a tough financial situastion, with stressed liquidity and uncertain short-term debt refinancing. A restructuring process was also adopted and commenced in the end of 2022, and an important part of this process is a credit committe approval obtained from the financial creditors in January 2023. All the financial creditors have confirmed their acceptance to suspend payment of amortization and to extend loan maturities to mid October 2023 on certain agreed terms. In order to improve the financial situation of the Group, property transactions have also taken place. In Q1 2023 the Group has sold shares in Inkognitogaten 33 Holding AS and entered an agreement on sale of Fornebuveien 1-3, reducing interest-bearing debt of which a larger proportion is expensive short-term debt. As part of the ongoing restructuring proceses, the Group has redefined the Group's strategy, involving a change in focus from building and growing a property portfolio towards becoming the best at developing properties to a great extent in partnerships. The Group has taken the first steps towards this strategy and this will be the focus going forward. In March 2023 Recreate entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture 50/50 with XG Eiendom AS that shall own the Group's properties Arkaden, Nedre Hjellegate 11, Henrik Ibsens gate 6 and the Groups shares in the Skien Brygge development project. In addition, the parties intend that Kongens Gate 20 and Hesselberggaten 4 shall be acquired by the JV at a later stage. Xania will contribute with a commercial property in in the joint venture. The property company contributed by Xania has a net cash position and the joint venture will therefore be financed to further develop the properties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Recreate ASA

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Recreate ASA (the Company) which comprise the financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group). The financial statements of the Company comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022 and the income statement and statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion

  • the financial statements comply with applicable legal requirements,
  • generally accepted in Norway,

the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices

the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 33 in the financial statements of the Group and Note 14 in the financial statements of the Company and the Board of Directors' report where it is stated that the Group is experiencing a pressured liquidity situation and the basis for continuing as a going concern is contingent upon obtaining significant new capital as well as a successful refinancing of the short-term liabilities in 2023. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in the Notes and the Board of Directors' report, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Independent auditor's report - Recreate ASA 2022

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

Other information

Other information consists of the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management (the board of directors and the general manager) is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, 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 the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the board of directors' report and the statement on corporate social responsibility contain the information required by applicable legal requirements and whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, there is a material misstatement in this other information or that the information required by applicable legal requirements is not included in the board of directors' report or the statement on corporate social responsibility, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard, and in our opinion, the board of directors' report and the statement on corporate social responsibility are consistent with the financial statements and contain the information required by applicable legal requirements.

Responsibilities of management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway and of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, 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 Company's and the Group'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 Company or the Group, 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 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, we exercise professional judgment 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.

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

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 Company's and the Group'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

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
  • estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.

We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

EPRA NET ASSET VALUE METRICS

EPRA NET REINSTATEMENT VALUE (NRV):

EPRA NET TANGIBLE ASSETS (NTA):

EPRA NET DISPOSAL VALUE (NDV):

The objective of the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Since the aim of the metric is to also reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, related costs such as real estate trasfer taxes should be included. NRV does not include any real estate transfer tax as property transactions in Norway generally do not levied such taxes, hence no adjustments for RETT is being done.

The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising levels of deferred tax liability. The Group has chosen the second option in the EPRA BPR to adjust for deferred tax, estimating the real tax liability based on how the company has completed property transactions lately.

Shareholders are interested in understanding the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value if company assets are sold and/or liabilities are not held until maturity. For this purpose, the EPRA Net Disposal Value provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability, including tax exposure not reflected in the Balance Sheet, net of any resulting tax. This measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" because, in many cases, fair values do no represent liquidation values.

EPRA REPORTING

The following performance indicators have been prepared in accordance with best practices as defined by EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) in its Best Practices Recommendations guide.

EPRA Earnings is a measure of the underlying development in the property portfolio and is calculated as net income after tax adjusted for non-controlling intereserts, excluding value changes on investment properties, unrealised changes in the market value of financial derivatives and gains/losses on the sale of properties and their associated tax effects.
