Basis and procedure

Internal valuation of Technopolis

  • The main valuation method is income method (10 year cash flow analysis)
  • The degree of completion is taken into account in valuing the constructions.
  • Sales comparable method is used in valuing unbuilt sites.
  • Technopolis is responsible for the correctness of current rent roll, operational expense and repair expense information and applying them to their cash flow model.
  • Market rent and vacancy rate are estimated by Technopolis
  • The required yield is produced by two independent real estate consultants.

Site visits

  • Realia has made site visits in Jyväskylä, Tampere and Tallinn properties during 12/2010 – 1/2011.
  • Properties in Oulu, Lappeenranta, Kuopio and HMA are familiar to Realia from previous assignments.
  • Site visit is St. Petersburg will be made after it is completed.
  • All properties will be visited during 2011.

Realia's second opinion procedure

  • Realia has checked the functionality of the cash flow model of Technopolis by comparing its outputs to Realia's own cash flow model outputs when using the same inputs.
  • Realia has discovered that valuation process and model of Technopolis fulfill the requirements of IFRS, IVS and local regulation (hyvä kiinteistöarviointitapa)
  • Realia has gone trough the following parameters used in the calculation by Technopolis:
  • Required yield
  • Market rent
  • Vacancy rate
  • Operational expenses
  • Repair expenses
  • Realia has presented comments to Technopolis regarding the calculations where departures from market evidence were found.
  • Technopolis has changed their calculations or justified their opinion to be in accordance with market.
  • Realia has discovered the calculations to be market derived and meet technical and methodological requirements.
  • However two factors in the calculations caught Realia's attention (see the next page)

Market value of the properties 31.12.2010

  • Based on the previously mentioned we state that the valuations of each property are executed in accordance with requirements set by IFRS, IVS and local regulation (hyvä kiinteistöarviointitapa)
  • The following two factors caught our attention:
  • Occupancy rates are high in all calculations. The reason for a higher occupancy rate than what market evidence would justify is that Technopolis has organised its sales using mainly its own staff, sales incentives for staff and benefit of wide range of services provided by Technopolis to their tenants. This has led to the assumption of long-term high occupancy rate.
  • Assumptions of market rents are high in several properties. The reason for this is consistent with high occupancy rate, which has led to high rents in current lease agreements. Based on this, an assumption for high long-term rental levels has been made.
  • Assumptions of high occupancy rate and high market rent continuing to perpetuity lead up to an optimistic residual value. However, the value is within the accuracy of the valuation (+/- 15 %)
  • Valuations of each property produce adequate and right information of the properties and values at date of value, 31.12.2010.
  • The total value of the properties is the sum of the values of each property.
  • The geographical division of the values is on the next page.

• With consideration to the afore mentioned, the market value of the investment properties of Technopolis Oyj at date of value (31.12.2010) is ca.

Seven hundred thirty million euro EUR 730,000,000

• Market value of constructions is ca.

Fifty four million and one hundred thousand euro EUR 54,100,000

  • Almost all properties are producing cash flow and therefore income method is the most suitable valuation method
  • Accuracy of the valuation is + / 15%
  • The date of value is 31.12.2010
