Overview
The growth-oriented Technopolis Group, Finland's largest provider of
high tech operating environments, has a service concept that combines
premises, business services and development programs. The Group has
348,415 floor square meters of premises for leasing, which are
occupied by 930 companies and other entities. The Groups business
advanced in line with strategy, and new operating locations were
added at Jyväskylä and Tampere in Finland, and at St. Petersburg in
Russia.
In June, the company acquired a majority holding in Technopolis JSP
Ltd, located in Jyväskylä. Its holding in Technopolis JSP at the end
of 2006 was 98.5 %. Late in the fall, the company acquired the entire
stock of Technopolis TSP Ltd, located in Tampere. In St. Petersburg,
the company purchased a plot of 4.6 hectares in the vicinity of the
Pulkovo airport for technology park operations.
The general business environment for Technopolis's operations
continued to be challenging in 2006. However, the situation of over-
supply of office premises in the Helsinki metropolitan area eased,
and there was continuing demand for high-quality offices. A good
level of demand continued in Oulu, although the lack of parking
facilities in the city center hampered the marketing of office
premises in general. In Tampere, the demand for high-quality premises
enabled the commencement of new projects. In Jyväskylä, there is
demand for new, functionally-designed office premises, and many
outdated premises are undergoing conversion for residential use. In
Lappeenranta, many previously vacant office premises have been
occupied recently, and there are few premises available.
Business
The consolidated net sales were EUR 44.8 million (EUR 31.7 million in
2005), up by 41.3 % on the previous year. EBITDA (Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the review period
was EUR 22.7 million (EUR 17.5 million), up by 29.8 %. Operating
profit was EUR 38.2 million (EUR 18.5 million). Profit before taxes
totaled EUR 33.0 million (EUR 15.1 million), an increase of 118.7 %
from the previous year. Depreciation according to plan totaled EUR
0.6 million (EUR 0.4 million). Earnings per share were EUR 0.63 (EUR
0.38). The Board of Directors of Technopolis proposes to the Annual
General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.14 per share be distributed
for the 2006 financial year. The proposed dividends would total EUR
5.7 million (EUR 4.7 million), an increase of 21.7 %.
The balance sheet total was EUR 431.4 million (EUR 270.2 million),
representing growth of 59.7 %. The Group's equity to assets ratio at
the end of the year was 38.5 % (46.4 %).
The fair value of the Group's investment property at the end of 2006
was EUR 392.2 million (EUR 249.3 million). The change in the fair
value of investment property was affected by the fair values of
properties bought and completed, a reduction in the market's return
requirements, changes in future returns and modernization costs, the
revaluation of property owned throughout the year, and increases in
the costs recognized in separate companies during the year. The
effect on profit of the change in the fair value of investment
property was EUR 16.1 million (EUR 1.2 million in 2005).
The Group's floor area for leasing totaled 348,415 floor square
meters at the end of year (241,000 floor square meters in 2005). The
Group's average financial occupancy ratio at the end of 2006 was
94.4 % (95.7 %). The financial occupancy ratio describes the rental
revenue from the properties as a percentage of the combined total of
the rent for the leased space and the estimated market rent for the
vacant space. The Group's leases at the end of the review period
amounted to EUR 121.1 million (EUR 68.1 million).
Investments and development projects
In a transaction completed in May, Innopoli Ltd, a company wholly
owned by Technopolis, purchased from Kapiteeli Plc a 2.2 hectare plot
it had rented in the City of Espoo. The transaction price was EUR 5.4
million. Innopoli Ltd had built a technology center of 26,200 floor
square meters on the purchased plot in 1991.
Technopolis Plc agreed in June on the acquisition of a majority
holding in Technopolis JSP Ltd (Jyväskylä Science Park) from the City
of Jyväskylä and from those of the company's minority shareholders
that had accepted the offer made by Technopolis. The transaction
price paid for the Technopolis JSP shares was EUR 18.0 million. Half
of the price was paid in cash, and half in Technopolis Plc shares.
Technopolis owns 98.5 % of Technopolis JSP Ltd shares.
In August, two new stages were completed at the Oulu city center
Technopolis, with a total area of 12,509 floor square meters. The
costs were approx. EUR 23.4 million, which includes the investment
costs of the building's approx. 120 parking spaces for public parking
to be owned by Technopolis.
In September, the fourth stage of Technopolis Helsinki-Vantaa
totaling 2,789 floor square meters and representing an investment of
EUR 5.3 million reached completion. The total area of Technopolis
Helsinki-Vantaa's premises is currently 16,149 floor square meters.
In October, Technopolis signed a contract with the City of Tampere on
the purchase of a majority holding in Technopolis TSP Ltd (Tampere
Science Parks Ltd). The transaction concerned 95.8 % of Technopolis
TSP Ltd's shares. The price paid for the shares was EUR 20.9 million.
About half of the price was paid in Technopolis Plc's new shares and
half in cash. Later in the fall, the company acquired the remaining
Technopolis TSP Ltd shares and now has a 100 % holding.
By a decision made in October by the City of Helsinki, an area
containing the building rights to a total of 27,200 floor square
meters was reserved for Technopolis in the Ruoholahti area. If
Technopolis concludes a long-term land lease agreement for a plot
containing the building rights to 6,600 floor square meters by March
31, 2007, the remaining reservation will continue until May 31, 2008.
If Technopolis concludes a long-term land lease agreement for a plot
containing the building rights to 9,000 floor square meters by May
31, 2008, the remaining reservation for the building rights to 11,600
floor square meters will continue until July 31, 2009.
On October 6, 2006, Technopolis St. Petersburg LLC, a fully owned
subsidiary of Technopolis Plc, signed an agreement on the purchase of
4.6 hectares of land in St. Petersburg in the vicinity of the Pulkovo
Airport for technology park operations. The land area is located next
to Pulkovskoe shosse about two kilometers and five or ten minutes'
drive from the airport. The plot size allows the construction of a
technology park with a total area of up to 50,000 square meters. The
acquisition price for the land is EUR 7.4 million. The plot was
registered to Technopolis St. Petersburg LLD on December 29, 2006,
and the price was paid to the selling party on January 10, 2007.
Events after the financial year
At its meeting on January 4, 2007, the Board of Directors resolved,
in accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General
Meeting of March 24, 2006, to increase the company's share capital by
a maximum of EUR 1,162,652.40, a total of 687,960 shares, through a
share offering for institutional investors. The purpose of the share
offering was to finance the investments included in the company's
investment plan, to secure the company's growth and to maintain the
company's equity-to-asset ratio.
The shares were offered in deviation from the pre-emptive
subscription rights of shareholders, for subscription by Finnish and
international institutional investors. The share offering was
implemented through a "book building" process, in which institutional
investors would subscribe for the shares to be issued, in accordance
with their subscription commitments made during the reception period
for such commitments, January 3-4, 2007. The demand was about 3.5
times larger than the number of shares offered. The subscription
price per share was set at EUR 7.70.
The company's Board of Directors decided on January 4, 2007 to
approve the share subscriptions made by institutional investors. In
the share issue, all 687,960 shares offered were subscribed for. As a
result of the share issue, the company's share capital increased by
the maximum amount permitted by the share capital increase decision,
i.e. by EUR 1,162,652.40. The increase in share capital was entered
in the Trade Register on January 8, 2007, and trading in the shares
began on January 9, 2007.
Technopolis decided to commence the construction of the Hermia 12
property in Tampere. The project's cost estimate is EUR 9 million and
the gross area is 8,600 square meters, which includes a parking
facility for 115 vehicles. Almost half of the building's 5,000 floor
square meters have been leased. Construction is scheduled for
completion by the end of February 2008.
Technopolis has reached a result in negotiations with the City of
Oulu and the Northern Ostrobothnia Hospital District concerning the
purchase of a total of 19,250 shares in Medipolis Ltd. The intention
is to complete the transaction in February 2007, after which
Technopolis will have a 97.7 % holding in the company. Technopolis
seeks to acquire full ownership of Medipolis Ltd.

Raappana, APA, as the principally responsible auditor.
Evaluation of operational risks and uncertainty factors
The most significant risks related to Technopolis's business
operations are mainly financial risks and customer risks.
Technopolis's main financial risk is the interest rate risk related
to the loan portfolio. The objective of interest rate risk management
is to reduce or remove the negative impact of market interest rate
fluctuations on the company's result, balance sheet and cash flow.
The company's financing policy aims to diversify the interest rate
risk of loan contracts over various maturities on the basis of the
market situation prevailing at any particular time and the interest
rate prognosis created in the company. If necessary, the company
employs forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps and interest
rate options. In order to manage financial risk, Technopolis uses a
wide range of finance providers and maintains a high equity to assets
level.
Technopolis uses derivative instruments only to reduce or eliminate
financial risks in the balance sheet.
The structure of Technopolis's loan portfolio at the end of the
financial year is shown by the fact that a one percentage unit rise
in money market rates would increase annual interest rate costs by
EUR 0.9 million.
Due to the interest rate risk related to credits, a policy of
interest rate diversification has been followed. At December 31,
2006, 70.7 % of the loan portfolio was bound to either the 3-12 month
Euribor rate or to the Bank of Finland's rate. 29.3 % of the loans
were fixed-interest loans of 13-60 months. The loan period, weighted
by the remaining capital of the loans, was 12.2 years. Technopolis
supplements its funding with a EUR 60.0 million domestic commercial
paper program which allows the company to issue commercial papers
with a maturity of less than a year. At December 31, 2006, the issued
commercial papers totaled EUR 34.8 million.
Changes in the exchange rates between the Russian rouble and euro may
have an effect on the company's financial situation and operations.
Business transactions denominated in roubles are recorded at the
exchange rate of the transaction date. Any translation differences
are entered in the income statement under financial income and
expenses. The purchase of land in St. Petersburg has been financed in
local currency. The currency risk has been minimized by applying a
currency swap.
Customer risk management aims to minimize the negative impact of any
changes in customers' financial position on the business and the
company's profit. In customer risk management, the emphasis is on
familiarity with the customer's business and active monitoring of
customer information. As part of customer risk management,
Technopolis's leases include rent collateral arrangements. Properties
are insured with full value insurance.
The Group's property portfolio is divided geographically between the
Helsinki metropolitan area, Jyväskylä, Lappeenranta, Tampere and the
Oulu region. No single customer accounts for more than 20 % of the
Group's net sales. The Group has arranged the leases of its biggest
customers to end at different times. The Group has about 930
customers that operate in many different sectors.
The Group is protected against fluctuations in the business cycle by
fixed-term leases which totaled EUR 121.1 million at December 31,
2006. Of the lease agreements, 9 % are valid until further notice or
will expire in 2007, 18 % will expire in 2008-2010, 29 % will expire
in 2011-2013, 5 % will expire in 2014-2016, and 39 % will expire in
2017 or later.
In new building projects, Technopolis focuses on quality definition
and the manageability of the property's entire lifecycle. In the
design phase, all the building's maintenance and service requirements
are taken into account, with the aim of implementing environmentally
friendly solutions in terms of energy consumption, the adaptability
of office facilities, and recycling possibilities. In connection with
property purchases, Technopolis carries out the normal property and
environmental assessments before committing to the transaction.
Changes in the market's return requirements may have a significant
effect on profit performance. As return requirements increase, the
fair values of properties decline, and correspondingly, as return
requirements decrease, the fair values of properties rise. These
changes affect the company's operating profit either negatively or
positively.
Future outlook
The management of the Technopolis Group estimates that in 2007 the
demand for high tech operating environments will be at a satisfactory
level, and that the occupancy ratio of the Group's leasing facilities
and the demand for the Group's services will both remain good. The
Group estimates that net sales and EBITDA will increase in 2007 by 18-
22 % on the previous year. The reduction on the estimate made at
December 1, 2006 is due to better than anticipated growth at the end
of 2006 and a delay in a planned domestic transaction.
As part of its strategy for growth, Technopolis aims to operate in
the leading high tech cities in Finland, Russia and 1-2 other
countries by 2010. The Group aims to increase its net sales by an
average of 15 % annually. Technopolis seeks to grow organically as
well as through acquisitions.
The Group's financial performance is dependent on trends in the
general operating environment, in customer business, in the financial
markets and in the return requirements for properties. Factors in
these areas may affect the Group's result through changes in
occupancy ratios, the use of services, financing costs, the fair
values of properties and office rent levels.
The figures are unaudited.
The company's printed annual report in the Finnish language will be
published in week 11.
