Peter Hallgren, President and CEO:


· Profit from management operations improved by 39.6%, primarily as a result of
lower interest rates but also due to strong rental operations. Leases totalling
SEK 14.2 million in annual rent were signed in 2009. These new contracts
entailed an increased number of new tenants. However, car dealers remain the
dominant tenants. 

· Catena experienced favourable growth in its property portfolio as a result of
the recovery in the Norwegian property market. New leases and completed
investments in Sweden also had a favourable effect on the properties' values. 

· The company's financial targets were achieved with a healthy margin. The
interest-coverage ratio is currently at a multiple of 4.0 and equity/assets
ratio at 34.1 %.

· Catena experiences strength in its long-term leases in times of uncertainty.
The company deems the vacancy risk as minor, since its properties have strategic
and attractive locations.
