Citycon and IFRS
Citycon Oyj has changed its reporting
practice in accordance with IAS/IFRS
standards (International Financial
Reporting Standards); this affects its interim
reports and financial
statements for 2005. Information related to this change is
available in the
company's 2004 Annual Report; financial statements appear on
pages
35-43.
Business Environment
Strong demand continued for retail premises
in Finland in the second quarter of
the year, and occupancy rates remained
strong. Retail sales continued to grow in
2005 1) even though consumer
confidence in economic development has weakened. The
low interest rate and
inflation have contributed also to this retail sales trend.
International
investors' interest in the Finnish property market remained high,
with most
new property transactions involving foreign operators. International
interest
is also estimated to reflect in the yield and price levels of the
most
sought-after properties.

Business
Activities and Property Portfolio Summary
Citycon's business activities
comprise the entire chain of retail premises
ownership, i.e. ownership,
leasing, management and development of properties.
Citycon operates in three
divisions (business segments): Shopping Centres,
Supermarkets and Shops, and
Property Development. At the end of the reporting
period, Citycon owned 143
properties (146) with a fair value totalling EUR 754.7
million (EUR 737.5
million).
Practically all the company's property portfolio consists of
retail premises. In
the reporting period, the company owned 16 shopping
centres and 127 supermarkets
and shops. Shopping centres accounted for 60.9
per cent and supermarket and shop
premises for 39.1 per cent of the property
portfolio's fair value.
In terms of fair values, 43.5 per cent of the
properties were located in the
Helsinki Metropolitan Area, 38.8 per cent in
other major Finnish cities and 17.7
per cent in other parts of Finland at the
end of the period.
Changes in Property Portfolio Fair Value
In the
valuation of investment properties according to IAS 40, Citycon has
decided to
use the fair value model, which will result in changes in value being
posted
to the income statement. The valuation of investment properties is
assessed in
accordance with International Valuation Standards (IVS) at least once
a year
by an external valuation professional. The latest valuation statement
dated 30
June 2005 is available on the Internet at Citycon's
website,
www.citycon.fi.
The fair value of Citycon's property portfolio
increased in the period under
review, due to changes in market trends and
leasing operations amounting to an
increase of EUR 7.8 million, i.e.
approximately 1.0 per cent. The most
significant change in the market was the
rising international interest in the
Finnish property market, and particularly
in retail premises. Increasing demand
lowers the yield requirements of
investors and creates pressure for increasing
property prices, particularly in
the liveliest growth centres.
Customers, Lease Portfolio and Occupancy
Rate
At the end of the period, Citycon had a total of 1,493 leases with 855
lessees.
The average length of the leases was 3.4 years. The period-end
occupancy rate for
Citycon's property portfolio was 96.3 per cent (97.1 %).
The change in the
occupancy rate was due to normal fluctuations in the leasing
business.

During the period, the Shopping Centres division acquired Kiinteistö
Oy Karjalan
Kauppakeskus in Lappeenranta for EUR 7.9 million, whereby Citycon
became the main
owner of retail premises of the IsoKristiina shopping
centre.
Citycon also signed a contract to acquire a 75 per cent holding in
the Åkersberga
shopping centre in Sweden. The deal was concluded on 1 July
2005. This is
Citycon's first international property investment, with the
total investment
amounting to approximately SEK 900-950 million (EUR 95-100
million) after
completion of the expansion projects still to be launched. The
Åkersberga
investment is not included in the figures for the period under
review.
The period's investment decisions will both contribute to Citycon's
growth
strategy in Finland and its target to actively develop international
business.

The Supermarkets and Shops division decided to construct a new shopping
centre in
Hervanta, Tampere, with the total investment estimated to amount to
EUR 25.3
million, and net yield, after completion of the shopping centre, to
over 8 per
cent. The estimated deadline for completion of the extension
project is spring
2007.
During the period, the Supermarkets and Shops
division sold three investment
properties for EUR 3.8 million, gaining a sales
profit of EUR 0.5 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 and new retail
sites,
alongside the other divisions.
The division's key figures are not reported
separately because it does not have
property portfolio or rental income. The
division's most significant project in
the period was the development of the
new Hervanta shopping centre, in Tampere.
Turnover and Profit
Turnover
and Profit
The turnover for the period was EUR 42.5 million (EUR 42.2
million). Gross rental
income accounted for 98.2 per cent (97.9 %) of
turnover. Operating profit rose to
EUR 35.6 million (EUR 27.5
million).
Profit before taxes was EUR 17.2 million (EUR 14.6 million), and
profit after
taxes was EUR 12.4 million (EUR 14.6 million). Profit after taxes
in the
corresponding period included a one-time deferred tax receivable of EUR
2.6
million related mainly to the acquisition of Torikeskus in Seinäjoki,
which was
booked in income taxes. The profit includes EUR 0.5 million in
capital gains from
investment properties as well as other one-time income and
EUR 5.7 million of one-
time costs due to premature repayment of the 1/1999
capital loan.
The effect of changes in fair value of the property portfolio
were EUR 7.8
million in the period under review.
Balance Sheet and
Financing
The period-end balance sheet total was EUR 798.2 million (EUR
747.2 million), of
which cash and cash equivalents were EUR 35.5 million (EUR
4.3 million). The
Group's financial position remained good.
The Group's
period-end liabilities totalled EUR 580.0 million (EUR 544.6
million).
Interest-bearing liabilities increased by EUR 46.5 million to EUR
536.9
million (EUR 517.7 million), and short-term liabilities accounted for
EUR 39.3
million (EUR 34.3 million) of interest-bearing liabilities. The
average interest
rate for interest-bearing liabilities was 5.1 per cent (5.2
%) excluding one-time
financing cost of capital loan prepayment; the average
loan period, weighted
according to the principals of the loans, was 3.2 years
(4.1 years); and the
average interest-rate fixing period was 3.1 years (3.9
years).
The Group's equity ratio was 27.4 per cent (27.1 %). The interest
coverage ratio,
i.e. the previous twelve months' profit before interest
expenses, taxes and
depreciation relative to net financial expenses, was 2.2.
Period-end gearing was
229.8 per cent (253.4 %). Citycon's interest-bearing
liabilities at period end
included 86.9 per cent (86.5%) of floating rate
loans, of which 72.7 per cent
(77.6 %) has been converted to a fixed rate by
means of interest rate swaps. The
overall hedging rate of the loan portfolio
was 54.1 per cent.
On 30 June, the par value of interest rate swaps was EUR
337.9 million (EUR 340.8
million) while the market value of derivatives was
EUR -24.1 million (EUR -11.1
million). Net financial expenses increased by EUR
5.4 million to EUR 18.3 million
(EUR 12.9 million) including EUR 5.7 million
one-time costs.
Capital Loan Arrangements
Citycon Oyj repaid its capital
loan I/1999 prematurely on 30 June 2005 according
to the terms and conditions
of the loan. On 30 June 1999 Citycon issued a EUR
68,452,486 capital loan to
institutional investors. The loan was originally due
to mature on 30 June
2009. The premature repayment resulted in a one-time cost of
approximately EUR
5.7 million, charged fully in the result of the period under
review.
On 17
June 2005 Citycon Oyj issued a new 5-year capital loan, 1/2005, for the
amount
of EUR 70 million with a fixed annual nominal interest rate of 4.70 per
cent.
The issue price of the loan was 99.956 per cent of the nominal loan
amount,
and its maturity date is 17 June 2010.
As a consequence of the
premature repayment of the 1/1999 capital loan and issue
of the new 1/2005
capital loan, the net savings in Citycon Oyj's financing
expenses will, after
taking into account the one-time cost, be approximately EUR
1.5 million over
the next four years.
Personnel
At the end of the period, Citycon Group
had a total of 46 (41) employees.

Events after the end of the
Reporting Period
On 1 July 2005, the Swedish company Armada Exploaterings
AB, owner of the
Åkersberga shopping centre in the municipality of Österåker
north-east of
Stockholm, became a subsidiary of Citycon Group. Citycon
purchased 75 per cent of
the company's share capital for the debt-free price
of SEK 49.9 million (EUR 5.4
million). The entire shopping centre's property
portfolio value totals
approximately SEK 440 million (EUR 47.7 million) with a
net yield of
approximately 8.0 per cent at the time of acquisition. After the
development
project, which is scheduled for completion by 2009, the net yield
of the property
is estimated to total around 9.0 per cent. Citycon's total
investment will amount
to SEK 900-950 million (EUR 95-100 million). To finance
the project, Citycon took
a loan of SEK 280 million (EUR 29.7 million) for a
5-year period, arranged by
Danske Bank A/S, Helsinki.
Subscription of
Shares Using Warrants
After the reporting period, 464,330 shares were
subscribed based on the option

2005.
Following the increase, the registered share capital of Citycon Oyj is
EUR

shares will
be traded publicly on the Helsinki Stock Exchange's Main List
together with the
old shares approximately as of 22 July 2005.
The
unexercised stock options based on Citycon's 1999 A/B/C stock option
scheme
entitle their holders to subscribe a total of 4,643,170 new shares,
corresponding
to a further increase of EUR 6,268,279.50 in share capital. 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 this increasingly competitive environment
the company is looking
for opportunities to expand its business in Finland,
the Baltic countries and
Scandinavia.
Citycon's turnover and profit for 2005
are estimated to exceed year 2004 level.

Report on the general review of
Citycon Oyj's interim report for the period 1
January - 30 June 2005
We
have generally reviewed the interim report of Citycon Oyj for the period
1.1.-
31.6.2005. 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.
