INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 20 06 • Income totalled SEK 589 million (467) • Net profit for the period increased to SEK 427 million (267) • Earnings per share increased to SEK 3.55 (2.34) • SEK 204 million (127) of the profit consists of changes in value of properties • Klövern has signed an agreement for acquisition of properties in Kista and Täby for a total of SEK 4 billion • The full-year forecast is being adjusted upwards; profit before tax is expected to exceed SEK 300 million excluding changes in value of properties. Previous forecast was SEK 250 million

Statement by CEO Increased profit and continued expansion in Business and Science Parks “Demand for premises has continued to be high during the third quarter of the year. We have noted the highest net new letting ever, especially educational premises which account for over a third of the quarter’s total net new letting. The process with the property acquisitions in Kista and Täby for approximately SEK 4 billion are proceeding according to plan and are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter. Klövern’s ambition in Kista and Täby is the same as in other markets; to contribute to the development of the local business sector. Through these acquisitions, we strengthen our role as partner of companies and organisations that look for an environment in Business and Science Parks that promotes development”, says Klövern’s CEO Gustaf Hermelin.

vacancy ratio as a result of acquisitions and the unusually cold and snowy start of the year. Demand for premises continued to be high and the number of enquiries has increased compared with the previous quarter and the third quarter of 2005. There has been a weak increase in rental income on most market segments compared with the corresponding period last year. The financial occupancy ratio was 83 per cent, which is one percentage point lower compared with the end of the second quarter this year. Net new letting amounted to SEK 7 million in the third quarter, making a total amount of SEK 14 million for the first three quarters of the year. The Graph Net new letting shows ongoing changes for tenants moving in and out. Accordingly, effects generated by the tenants who have moved during the respective quarter after lump sum payments are not included.

Earnings Net profit for the period totalled SEK 427 million (267). This improvement is mainly due to a considerably larger portfolio of properties and an increase in unrealised changes in value. The profit includes realised changes in value from property sales at SEK 24 million (19) and unrealised changes in value of properties at SEK 179 million (107). Net financial income was SEK –97 million (–125), of which changes in financial instruments and securities amounted to SEK 19 million (–6).

Cash flow and financial position The cash flow for the period was SEK –17 million (–1). The equity ratio at the end of the period was 35.8 per cent, compared with 34.8 per cent at the beginning of the year. Equity increased to SEK 2,571 million compared with SEK 2,264 million at the beginning of the year. Liquid funds amounted to SEK 125 million (141) and interest-bearing liabilities SEK 4,339 million (3,987).

The third quarter of 2006 Net profit in the third quarter was SEK 113 million (103). Total income amounted to SEK 214 million (165), of which rental income was SEK 206 million (163) and other income SEK 8 million (2). Rental income during the quarter included lump sum payments from tenants moving out at approximately SEK 16 million. The profit includes realised changes in value from property sales at SEK 1 million (10) and unrealised changes in value of properties at SEK 28 million (38). The operating surplus amounted to SEK 137 million (108), net financial income to SEK –43 million (–43), of which changes in value of financial instruments and securities totalled SEK –2 million (1). Cash flow for the quarter was SEK 48 million (–55).

Income and property costs Income during the period increased to SEK 589 million (467), of which rental income amounted to SEK 570 million (465). This increase is mainly due to an increase in the size of the property portfolio. Other income, consisting of income from customers who are not tenants and income from rental guarantees, totalled SEK 19 million (2). Property costs amounted to SEK 231 million (175). The operating surplus was SEK 358 million (292), corresponding to an operating margin of 61 per cent (63). The decrease of the operating margin is mainly due to an increase in the

Valuation of properties INTEREST RATE AND LOAN MATURITY STRUCTURE 30.09.2006

Every quarter, Klövern values 100 per cent of the property portfolio. 25 per cent of the valuations are carried out by an external valuation company and the rest are valued internally. This means that every property in the portfolio is externally valued during a rolling 12-month period. The external valuations have been carried out by DTZ Sweden. All valuations have been performed using the same method as in 2005. See Klövern’s annual report for 2005 for a detailed description of the valuation principles.

Trading in the Klövern share free of brokerage At the annual general meeting on 5 April 2006, it was decided that Klövern would offer shareholders whose holdings did not amount to whole trading lots (a trading lot = 500 Klövern shares) the opportunity of either buying or selling shares, to obtain round trading lots without having to pay brokerage. This offer was implemented in September and in all around 8,000 transactions took place. Overall, the notifications led to net purchases of 474,009 Klövern shares. The price was SEK 22.90 per share, which is the same as the average price for all transactions carried out within the framework of the programme.

Nominations committee In accordance with the decision of Klövern’s annual general meeting on 5 April 2006, a nominations committee is to be appointed annually, consisting of the chairman of the board, a representative for each owner whose holding in the company exceeds five per cent of the shares and votes in the company as at 31 August, and a representative of the other shareholders. The nominations committee consists of the following representatives: Rickard Svensson – Arvid Svensson Invest, Göran Almberg – The Federation of Swedish Farmer (LRF), Bo Jansson – Skandia Liv, Erik Törnberg – Investment AB Öresund, Klas Andersson, representing other shareholders and Stefan Dahlbo, Klövern’s Chairman of the Board. The representatives can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone via Klövern +46-(0)155 44 33 12.

Central administration Central administration expenses for the period totalled SEK 35 million (25). SEK 7 million (2) of the amount consisted of fees to advisors in Klövern’s taxation case for reconsideration of the tax assessment for 2003.

Accounting principles This interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which is in accordance with the requirements made in the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendation RR 31 Interim reports for groups. The accounting principles applied in this interim report are described in Klövern’s annual report for 2005, note 1. According to this note among other things, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been applied since and including 2005. The most important effect of the transition to IFRS relates to the reporting of properties. Properties are classified as investment properties and valued at fair value in the balance sheet with unrealised changes in value in the income statement. Previously, properties have been reported as properties for resale (inventories) at the lowest of acquisition value and fair value.

Reconsideration of taxation for 2003 At the end of 2003, Klövern requested that the tax assessment for that year be reconsidered. The intention was to examine whether Klövern was entitled to additional tax loss carryforwards of SEK 5 billion, due to a loss which the company, and indirectly the shareholders, had made in its earlier business as an IT company. In May 2006, the Tax Agency decided to impose a tax surcharge of SEK 493 million on Klövern. The Tax Agency’s decision has been appealed against to the County Administrative Court and Klövern has furthermore submitted a request for new reconsideration of taxation for 2003. Klövern has been granted a respite with payment of the tax surcharge imposed by the Tax Agency, which has therefore been reported as a contingent liability. Klövern has established tax loss carryforwards and depreciation for tax purposes, in addition to book depreciation, for the 2004 taxation year, totalling SEK 2,153 million together.

Acquisition of properties in Kista and Täby In September Klövern and Fabege signed a declaration of intent and subsequently an agreement for Klövern to acquire 20 properties in Kista, 24 properties in Täby and one property in Sigtuna from Fabege. The acquisition price was SEK 4,027 million, of which approximately SEK 3,500 million was for Kista. As a result of this acquisition, Klövern establishes units in Kista and Täby. The properties, which are acquired in corporate form, will be taken possession of on 20 November 2006. The initial occupancy ratio in the acquisition amounts to around 80 per cent. Initial direct yield, including the rental guarantee of SEK 45 million, totals approximately 6.4 per cent. The acquisition is financed partly by a directed new issue of around 46.2 million shares at a price of SEK 23.68, totalling approximately SEK 1,094 million, to Fabege, and partly by taking up new loans totalling approximately SEK 2,933

Full-year forecast for 2006 Klövern’s forecast for 2006 is being adjusted upwards, mainly due to additional property acquisitions. The fullyear forecast is that Klövern’s net profit before tax is expected to exceed SEK 300 million excluding changes in value of properties. Compared with the previous forecast, this is an increase of SEK 50 million.

Events after the end of the period covered by the report

Review report We have reviewed the interim report for Klövern AB as at 30 September 2006 and the nine-month period which ended on that date. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on our review. We have performed this review in accordance with the standard for review SÖG 2410 Review of financial interim report information performed by the auditor appointed by the company (in Swedish) published by FAR. A review consists of making enquiries, in the first place to persons who are responsible for financial issues and accounting matters, performing an analytical review and undertaking other general review measures. A review has a different focus and a considerably reduced scope compared with the focus and scope of an audit in accordance with Auditing Standards in Sweden, RS (in Swedish) and generally accepted accounting standards otherwise in Sweden. The review measures undertaken in a general review have not made it possible for us to acquire such certainty as to be aware of all important circumstances that could have been identified in the performance of an audit. The conclusion stated is based on a general review and does not therefore have the same degree of certainty as a statement based on an audit. On the basis of our general review, no circumstances have emerged which would lead us to consider that the interim report is not, in all substantials, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act.

Property acquisition and property sale Klövern has acquired one property in Västerås for a purchase price of SEK 14 million. Klövern has sold one property in Västerås for SEK 71 million. The sale exceeds the most recently reported fair value by SEK 13 million, which will affect Klövern’s income for the fourth quarter of 2006.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders Klövern has notified that an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders would be held on Friday, 17 November 2006. The shareholders’ meeting will consider the board’s proposal on a new issue of shares due to the property acquisitions in Kista and Täby from Fabege.
