The market value is calculated on the basis of the expected rental income in 1998 at a letting rate of 100 per cent less the related operating costs in a nor- mal year, which amount is subsequently capi- talised at a yield target fixed for individual properties.

It is the objective of EjendomsSelskabet Nor- den to continuously minimise its interest rate risks by way of long-term financing at fixed in- terest rates. The company obtains financing in Danish kroner exclusively and, consequently, is not exposed to currency fluctuations. A very large part of the company’s debt consists of callable mortgage loans. It is thus possible to refinance the debt whenever move- ments in interest rates makes it feasible to do so. The company’s debt structure is as follows:

The amount stated for profit on properties has been normalised and is based on a 100 per cent letting rate. Consequently, the figures should not be taken as an indication of the budget for 1998.

35 company’s debt consists of callable mortgage debt, which means that the company can refi- nance on favourable fluctuations in interest rates, thereby ensuring lower interest expenses if market rates decline, or lower debts outstan- ding if market rates increase. The company’s long-term sensitivity to in- creases in the interest rate level is limited. A rise in the interest rate level in 1998 will not in- crease the company’s interest burden. How- ever, a 1 per cent fall in interest rates in 1998 would reduce interest expenses by some DKK 7 million.
