Citycon and
IFRS
Citycon Oyj applies for the first time IAS/IFRS standards
(International
Financial Reporting Standards) in its interim reports,
financial statements for
2005 and comparable figures for 2004. In 2004,
Citycon already disclosed
preliminary IFRS-comparative figures on the opening
balance sheet of 1 January
2004 and for each quarter, on 31 August 2004, 21
October 2004 and 18 February
2005. Information related to this change is also
available in the company's
Annual Report for 2004.
The main changes related
to IFRS-compliant reporting, and their impact on the
opening balance sheet as
of 1 January 2005, are as follows:
EUR million
FAS Shareholders' equity 31 Dec.2004
302.0
IAS 40 Change in valuation of investment properties 18.6
IAS 39
Change in values of interest rate derivatives -18.3
IAS 32 Reclassification
of treasury shares -4.7
IAS 32 Reclassification of capital loan
-68.5
IAS 12 Change in deferred tax assets and liabilities
-3.0
IFRS Shareholders' equity 1 Jan. 2005 226.0
The most
essential changes in the income statement involve the abolishment
of
depreciation related to investment properties from, and the inclusion of
the
change in value in, the income statement. The impact of IFRS-related
changes on
taxes also affects the income statement.
As of 1 January 2005,
the net rental yield percentage of the property portfolio
has been calculated
on the basis of the fair value of property, using the time-
weighted returns
method based on the guidelines of the KTI Institute for Real
Estate Economics
and the Investment Property Databank.
Trends in the Business
Environment
Developments in the Finnish retail business remained favourable
in the first
quarter of 2005. Retail sales grew by 4.2 per cent1) in the
period from December
2004 to February 2005, buoying up demand for leased
retail premises and keeping
their average vacancy rates low.
Financial
markets remained stable, interest rates in the euro zone were lower
than ever
and international interest in the Finnish property market remained
high.

Business Activities and Property Portfolio
Summary
Citycon's business activities comprise the entire chain of retail
premises
ownership, i.e. ownership, leasing, management and property
development. Citycon
operates in three divisions (business segments) according
to customer needs and
the type of premises: Shopping Centres, Supermarkets and
Shops, and Property
Development.
At the end of the reporting period,
Citycon owned 144 properties (148) with a
fair value totalling EUR 736.4
million (EUR 735.4 million). Practically all of
the company's property
portfolio consists of retail properties.
The company owned 16 shopping
centres and 128 supermarkets and shops. Shopping
centres accounted for 60.8
per cent and supermarket and shop premises for 39.2
per cent of the property
portfolio's fair value. In terms of fair values, 45.0
per cent of the
properties were in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, 37.0 in other
major Finnish
cities and 18.0 in other parts of Finland at the end of the
period.
Customers, Lease Portfolio and Occupancy Rate
At the end of the
period, Citycon had a total of 1,463 leases with roughly 845
lessees. The
average length of leases was 3.6 years.
The period-end occupancy rate for
Citycon's property portfolio was 96.4 per cent
(97.1%), the change in the
occupancy rate being due to normal fluctuations in the
leasing
business.

The most significant new lease for the Supermarkets and Shops
Division was that
signed with a new grocery chain on the Länsikeskus retail
site in Espoo. Mainly
as a result of this, the division's occupancy rate
raised by 2.3 percentage
points from year end 2004.
The Division sold two
properties at a total amount of EUR 3.6 million during the
reporting period.
The impact of these transactions on the results was EUR
0.3
million.
Property Development Division
The Property Development
Division's mission is to contribute to realising the
corporate strategy by
developing and extending Citycon's existing retail sites,
alongside the other
divisions. The division is also responsible for commissioning
the construction
of new retail sites - i.e., for acquiring land and controlling
and developing
the related commercial and functional planning, including
negotiations on
planning permission, liaison with the authorities and
administering projects.
The division also handles the marketing and leasing of
premises on new retail
sites.
The division's key figures are not reported separately because it
does not have
property portfolio or rental income.
Turnover and Profit
The
turnover for the period was EUR 21.2 million (EUR 21.0 million). Gross
rental
income accounted for 98.6 per cent (98.1 %) of turnover. Operating
profit rose to
EUR 14.2 million (EUR 13.9 million). Profit before taxes
amounted to EUR 7.8
million (EUR 7.4 million) and profit after taxes was EUR
5.6 million (EUR 8.4
million). Profit after taxes in the corresponding period
of the previous year

million related to the
acquisition of Torikeskus in Seinäjoki which was booked
in income taxes.
The profit includes EUR 0.3 million in capital gains from
investment properties.
Balance Sheet and Financing
The period-end balance
sheet total was EUR 765.8 million (EUR 746.9 million), of
which cash and cash
equivalents were EUR 23.1 million (EUR 6.7 million). The

The Group's period-end liabilities totalled EUR
533.9 million (EUR 555.3

of which short-term liabilities
accounted for EUR 36.7 million (EUR 34.0
million).
The average interest rate for interest-bearing liabilities was 5.2
per cent (5.1
%), the average loan period, weighted according to loan
principals, came to 3.3
years (4.3 years), and the average interest-rate
fixing period was 3.4 years (4.2
years). The Group's equity ratio was 29.8 per
cent (25.2 %).

profit before
interest expenses, taxes and depreciation relative to net
financial expenses, was
2.2 (2.1). Period-end gearing was 209.1 per cent
(266.2). Citycon's interest-

Events
after the End of the Reporting Period
Annual General Meeting
Citycon's
Annual General Meeting was held on 5 April 2005 in Helsinki. The AGM
adopted
the financial statements of Citycon Oyj and the Citycon Group for 2004
and
released the Board of Directors and the CEO from personal liability. The
AGM
also decided that a per-share dividend of EUR 0.14 be paid for 2004.
The
dividends were paid on 15 April 2005.
Board of Directors and Board
Remunerations
The number of Board members remained at eight. The following
persons were re-
elected for a one-year term: Stig-Erik Bergström, Amir Gal,
Raimo Korpinen, Tuomo
Lähdesmäki, Carl G. Nordman, Claes Ottosson and Dor
(Dori) Segal while Thomas
(Thom) Wernink, a Dutch citizen, was elected as a
new member. Stig-Erik Bergström
will continue as the Chairman of the Board.
The Board elected Thom Wernink as
Deputy Chairman of the Board.
The AGM
decided that the Chairman of the Board be paid an annual fee of EUR
40,000,
the Deputy Chairman an annual fee of EUR 30,000 and ordinary members of
the
Board an annual fee of EUR 20,000. It was further resolved that the
Chairman
of the Board be paid a meeting fee of EUR 500 and the Deputy Chairman
and
ordinary members of the Board a meeting fee of EUR 400 for each meeting.
The
meeting fee shall also be paid for Board committee meetings. The payment
of the
annual fee to Finnish members of the Board is conditional upon their
signing an
undertaking to purchase Citycon shares with the amount of fee
remaining after the
deduction of the applicable taxes.
Board
Committees
The following Board members were elected to Board committees at the
Board meeting
which convened immediately after the Annual General
Meeting:
Audit Committee: Raimo Korpinen (Chairman), Stig-Erik Bergström,
Thom Wernink
Compensation Committee: Stig-Erik Bergström (Chairman), Tuomo
Lähdesmäki, Carl G.
Nordman
Investment Committee: Thom Wernink (Chairman),
Stig-Erik Bergström, Amir Gal,
Dori Segal
Nomination Committee: Tuomo
Lähdesmäki (Chairman), Stig-Erik Bergström, Amir Gal,
Claes Ottosson
At the
same meeting, the Board of Directors also decided to sign a
consultation
agreement with Thom Wernink on the development of Citycon's
international
operations, on the basis of which he will be paid a consultancy
fee of EUR 40,000
for a year.
Independence of Board Members
It is the view
of the Board of Directors that all members of the Board except
Thom Wernink,
who has entered into a consultancy agreement with the company, are
independent
of the company. Furthermore, it is the view of the Board of Directors
that
Stig-Erik Bergström, Raimo Korpinen, Tuomo Lähdesmäki, Carl G. Nordman
and
Thom Wernink are independent of any major shareholder.
According to the
company's rules of Procedure the members of the Audit Committee
shall be
independent of the company. As an exception to this rule the Board has
elected
Thom Wernink as a member of the Audit Committee due to his background as
the
chairman of EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association). During
his
chairmanship EPRA published Best Practice Policy Recommendations for
public real
estate companies on compliance with IFRS
standards.
Auditors
Authorised public accountants Tuija Korpelainen and
Mikael Holmström were elected
as the company's auditors for the financial year
2005, and a firm of authorised
public accountants Ernst & Young Oy as the
deputy auditor, with authorised public
accountant Tiina Lind serving as
auditor-in-charge appointed by Ernst & Young.
Furthermore, the Annual
General Meeting approved the following proposals made by
the
Board:
Amendment to the Articles of Association
The AGM decided to amend
Article 3 of the Articles of Association, changing the
maximum share capital
of the company to EUR 500 million, and Article 12, to
stipulate that notice of
a general meeting be issued to shareholders by means of
an advertisement
published in at least one national newspaper appearing in
Helsinki.
Share
Capital Reduction
The AGM decided to reduce the company's share capital by EUR
5,229,900 through
cancellation without payment of 3,874,000 treasury shares.
This reduction in
share capital was executed by transferring the total nominal
value of the
cancelled shares to the share premium fund with no effects on the
restricted
shareholders' equity. The change in share capital was registered in
the Trade
Register on 6 April 2005. After the reduction, the company's share
capital is EUR
151,550,133.30, and the number of shares is 112,259,358. After
the cancellation
of treasury shares, the company has no such
shares.
Authorisation for a Share Capital Increase
The AGM authorised the
Board to decide by 5 April 2006 to issue one or several
convertible bonds,
issue stock options and increase the company's share capital
through one or
several share issues in such a way that the total increases in the
company's
share capital based on these issues do not exceed EUR 31,356,004.50 and
that a
maximum of 23,226,670 new shares with a nominal value of EUR 1.35 may
be
offered. This authorisation includes the right to deviate from the
shareholders'
pre-emptive subscription right.
Selling of Shares in the
Joint Book-entry Account
The AGM decided to sell the company's shares held in
the joint book-entry account
for the benefit of their owners in accordance
with Chapter 3a, Article 3a of the
Finnish Companies Act authorising the Board
to take any and all actions provided
for by the said Act to execute the sale.
The number of shares in the joint book-
entry account as of 2 March 2005 was
7,537, corresponding to 0.006 per cent of
the total number of shares in the
company.
Subscription of Shares with Warrants
After the reporting period,
37,000 shares were subscribed for based on the option
rights 1999 A/B/C at a
per-share subscription price of EUR 1.40. The
corresponding increase in share
capital, EUR 49,950 has not yet been entered in
the Trade Register.
After
the increase the registered share capital of Citycon Oyj is EUR
151,600,083.30
and the total amount of shares is 112,296,358. The new shares will
be traded
on the Helsinki Stock Exchange's Main list together with the old
shares
approx. as of 2 May 2005.
The unexercised stock options based on
Citycon's stock option scheme 1999 entitle
their holders to subscribe
5,107,500 new shares, corresponding to a further
capital increase of EUR
6,895,125. The share subscription period will expire on
30 September
2007.
Future Outlook
Citycon forecasts that demand, occupancy rates and
rents for its retail premises
will continue to remain stable in the Helsinki
Metropolitan Area and Finland's
major cities. In the increasingly tightening
competitive environment, the company
is seeking opportunities to expand its
operations in Finland, the Baltic
countries and Scandinavia. Implementation of
this growth strategy is expected to
begin in 2005. The company estimates that
turnover and profit for 2005 will be at
least on the level of the 2004
figures.

Report on the general review of
Citycon Oyj's interim report for the period 1.1.-
31.3.2005
We have
generally reviewed the interim report of Citycon Oyj for the period
1.1.-
31.3.2005. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director have
prepared an
interim report in accordance with the Securities Market Act,
chapter 2, paragraph
5. Based on our interim review we express at the request
of the Board of
Directors a report in accordance with the Securities Market
Act, chapter 2,
paragraph 5.
We conducted our general review in accordance
with the International Standard on
Auditing applicable to general review
engagements. This standard requires that we
plan and perform the review to
obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the
financial statements are free of
material misstatement. The general review is
limited primarily to inquiries of
company personnel and analytical procedures
applied to financial data and thus
provides less assurance than an audit. We have
not performed an audit and,
accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our general
review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the
interim report does not give a true and fair view in accordance
with the
Securities Market Act regarding the financial position of Citycon
Oyj.
