In 2003 the focus was on building the foundations for a more efficient and more profitable JM. DEVELOPMENT IN 2003 At the end of 2002, deficiencies came to light in control, oversight and implementation of a number of projects in Stockholm. These events led to a total review of JM’s operations and working methods. MARKING TIME All major projects were examined in detail during the year. Several projects were revised, and all in all this led to a very low number of production starts during the first nine months of the year. IMPROVED CONTROL AND OVERSIGHT A lot of effort has been put into improving the internal structures for control and oversight. Among other things we have introduced new routines for project oversight and follow up of costs, new decision-making routines ahead of project and production starts, and new monitoring routines for projects with a significant financial impact. Several key project decisions are now centralised to business unit management, group management and in certain cases to the Board. COSTS MUST BE REDUCED For most of the 1990s through to 2001, JM was able to increase its revenues substantially due to major price increases for homes, particularly in Stockholm. Our costs, however, went up even more. To sum up, substantially increased costs, too great an emphasis on exclusive apartments and rapid growth meant that JM’s profitability was swiftly undermined, despite basically good conditions in the market. MORE STANDARDISED PRE-CONSTRUCTION I expect that JM’s new pre-construction routines, which were developed and implemented during 2003, will lead to lower costs with no loss of quality. By using more standard solutions for those parts of housing construction that do not With a profit from project development that amounted to SEK 182m, 2003 – like 2002 – was a weak year. This weak result was mainly attributable to a number of major projects in the Stockholm area. Over the next few years, project quality will steadily improve as newly started projects form a larger proportion of project volume. Operating profit amounted to SEK 478m, underpinned by continued successful sales of fully developed properties. There are several bright spots, however. We beat our previous sales record in 2003 and the strong inflow of customers meant that we could substantially increase the number of housing starts in the fourth quarter, which had a positive impact on both net sales and cash flow. The improved cash flow meant that the interest-bearing net debt could be reduced by SEK 1.4 billion in the final quarter of 2003. The fourth quarter was also something of a turning point for JM’s Stockholm operations. There were almost 600 housing starts, compared with a total of 380 for the first nine months. JM Residential Stockholm showed a profit in the final quarter of 2003 and could thus break its negative earnings trend. Furthermore, we can see that the measures adopted relating to project oversight, control and follow-up of costs are starting to yield results. With a volume of 2,700 production starts in 2003, we remained at the 2002 level, with the important difference that projects are now better planned and the reservation rate at production start is higher. Major acquisitions of residential properties in Nacka and C O S T- C U T T I N G P RO G R A M M E • Fewer platforms and components. • Greater standardisation in product design. • Group-wide pre-construction process will reduce the number of errors. • Training. • New purchasing strategy. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 3 CEO’S COMMENTS Vaxholm outside Stockholm provide a new market segment for project development. This has also helped to reduce exposure to the commercial property market. Acquisition of the Norwegian project development company Vikevåg, based in Stavanger, has further strengthened our position in the Norwegian market. Number 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT These acquisitions are excellent examples of the new strategic plan adopted by JM. The strategic plan also means an even clearer focus on housing development, a broadening of the product range as regards both form of tenure and price band, and a focus on growth outside Stockholm. Furthermore, the size of the building rights portfolio in the balance sheet will be adjusted to reflect four years’ planned production. Historically, JM has realised substantial values through the sale of fully developed commercial properties. This type of value creation will in future be more clearly linked to residential properties. The residential portfolio we have acquired contains excellent development opportunities in the form of densification through new construction and through conversion to tenant-owned apartments. Furthermore, the portfolio has low vacancy rates and stable cash flows.

Profitable growth is a basic prerequisite for building shareholder value over time. JM’s profitability depends on P8 jm annual report 2003 4 CEO’S COMMENTS M O R E E F F I C I E N T P R E - C O N S T RU C T I O N JM must be able to efficiently produce attractive homes of high quality at the lowest possible total cost. New procedures for pre-construction were introduced in 2003. Each housing estate or residential property is designed and produced on the basis of requirements where position, demand in the local market, detailed planning requirements and other factors are taken into consideration. With its new pre-construction procedures, JM is now introducing a more industrial way of working and production methods for its housing development. Fewer components and consistent and proven processes throughout the entire organisation and in project development phases will lead to lower costs, shorter lead times and improved quality. This change means that pre-construction decisions will be made centrally, which will in turn guide the planning work carried out internally at JM and by external consultants.The preconstruction procedures have been drawn up by some 60 of JM’s most qualified quantity surveyors, project managers and craftsmen and are based on well-tried and cost-effective choices of materials and working methods. One basic prerequisite is that the new procedures do not have a negative impact on customer relations and market offerings. Pre-construction decisions therefore take into account parameters such as “customer values” i.e. insulation standard, window design and exterior, as well as “non-customer values” such as wall elements, joists, installations, roofing, etc. Based on this division, a more expensive component can be included provided it in some way creates added value for the customer. In other cases more expensive components or solutions are chosen to reduce the risk of error and costly supplementary work, increase useful economic life and reduce operating costs. The new pre-construction procedures will increase productivity, quality and customer benefit. The new pre-construction decisions also lay the foundation for greater savings within purchasing since purchasing volumes will be more focused towards a lower number and more standardised components. Examples show that the savings potential can amount to between 10 and 20% on individual components, by consolidating volumes to a few suppliers and reducing time spend in preconstruction and production. The new pre-construction procedures for apartment blocks became effective in December 2003.

I feel confident that we can achieve this. Broadening our product range means that more people will be able to afford to buy a JM home. This does not mean, however, that we will be renouncing quality, margins or our long-term approach. The houses we build will stand for a very long time. Since we already operate in the most attractive Nordic markets, it is natural for us primarily to seek growth through organic expansion in existing locations. Of course this does not rule out acquisitions, if good opportunities should arise. TOWARDS SIMPLER REVENUE RECOGNITION The Swedish Construction Federation is preparing a new industry recommendation for revenue recognition of residential production conducted by the companies. The new principle, which is planned to be adopted by JM with effect from the 2005 financial year, is based on revenue being recognised as the end customers sign purchasing contracts. This will facilitate analysis of our business and make revenue recognition more conservative. PROSPECTS FOR 2004 JM focuses on building homes on attractive sites in areas with good economic growth. The long-term trend with more people moving to cities and university towns in the Nordic countries is continuing. These housing markets, as well as surrounding municipalities and other areas with good communications, are showing positive development. We anticipate substantial and lasting demand for homes developed by JM in the foreseeable future. We have a well positioned building rights portfolio with approximately 23,400 residential units in attractive locations. We will continue to give priority to our markets in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Belgium. Some shifting of position will take place to reduce JM’s dependence on the Stockholm market, although without forgoing the potential we have in our largest market. Major projects outside Stockholm include the Dockan area in the port of Malmö, Sannegårdshamnen in Gothenburg, and Industristaden in Uppsala. In Oslo, development is under way of the station area in Grefsen. We expect a stable, possibly slightly weaker price trend. Even if revenues remain unchanged, a greater degree of stan- dardisation, increased use of joint platforms, reduced purchasing costs and a clearer focus on costs will propel JM towards improved profitability. We will also further strengthen our customer and market orientation. The level of service in our business will be developed and the proportion of satisfied customers will rise. JM already has a strong brand, satisfied customers, longterm operations and employees with a high level of competence. I feel that there is strength in the company and a strong determination to achieve our goals.

The share capital amounts to SEK 112.3m represented by 28.1 million shares each with a par value of SEK 4 and equal voting rights. A trading block amounts to 200 shares. SHAREHOLDER TARGET JM prioritises active management of the consolidated balance sheet. To the extent the visible equity ratio and interest coverage are assessed as exceeding the optimal capital structure on a continuing basis, capital will be transferred to shareholders in a form that is appropriate at the time. In 2003, in accordance with its mandate from the 2002 Annual General Meeting, JM repurchased 1,400,000 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 110 per share. At the Annual General Meeting in April 2003 it was decided to eliminate through cancellation the 2,300,000 shares repurchased by the company since the previous annual general meeting. The share capital therefore decreased by SEK 9.2m. JM’s shareholders should receive a higher total return, i.e. dividends and price appreciation on JM shares, than shareholders in companies with similar operations and risk profiles. OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AT 31 DECEMBER 2003 SHARE PRICE TREND AND RETURN JM shares are included in Stockholmsbörsen’s index “SX4040 Real Estate”. In 2003, JM’s share price fell 34.6%, compared with an increase of 24.7% for the SX4040. Dividend yield, i.e. proposed dividend in relation to share price at year-end, was 4.7%. TRADING AND MARKET CAPITALISATION In 2003 JM shares were traded to a total value of SEK 2.6 billion. Average daily trading was approximately SEK 10m (14). The turnover rate, i.e. the liquidity of the shares on Stockholmsbörsen, was 85.6% during the year compared with an average for the entire stock exchange of 114.7%.

The business concept means that JM is a project developer of housing and to a selective extent of commercial premises. JM gives priority to high quality and a holistic approach in its design. The aim is to create living and working environments that will remain attractive over time. duction resources and will therefore maintain a limited but effective construction and contracting business. However, the company’s own efficiency must always be examined in relation to costs of external production resources. • Continued volume growth will be generated both organically and through acquisitions, with the priority of strengthening the Group’s position in existing markets. Growth will be achieved subject to good profitability and a market-leading position. PROFITABILITY TARGET VISION After-tax return on visible equity to amount to 10–15% over a business cycle. This target reflects the long lead times and cyclical nature of JM’s business. JM shall be a leading developer of high-quality housing projects in the Nordic region. AMBITION FOR GROWTH OBJECTIVE FOR SHAREHOLDER VALUE The goal is to give shareholders a higher total return, dividends plus JM share price appreciation, than other companies with similar operations and risk profiles. JM aims to grow over time but housing starts will take place in response to secured demand as well as quality assured preconstruction and production planning. DIVIDEND TARGET The average dividend over a business cycle should correspond to 50% of consolidated profit after tax. STRATEGY In order, within the framework of the business concept, to achieve its vision and meet its shareholder value objective, JM has the following strategies: • JM will develop housing in growth areas with good demographic and socio-economic conditions over time. These are currently metropolitan areas as well as university and college towns primarily in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Belgium. • The focus must be clearly on high quality and eco-compliant homes and workplaces with a high customer value and in attractive locations. • JM will focus on cash flows and effective utilisation of the balance sheet. This will be achieved by maintaining a high rate of start-ups, implementation and sales of property projects. • Homes will mainly be sold for private ownership, but may also include rentals. • Project development of commercial properties will be limited and primarily support housing development. • JM should internally secure a certain proportion of pro- ASSETS AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE JM’s ambition is to maintain over time an optimal composition of assets and capital structure, suitable for the company’s project development activities. The building rights portfolio will be continuously optimised with regard to demand trends, planned production and tied-up capital. The balance sheet should normally not contain development properties exceeding four years’ production expressed in number of building rights. The balance sheet item investment properties will entirely comprise project assets and mainly consist of residential properties for project development, in the form of conversion to tenant-owner apartments or densification. JM’s aim is that the balance sheet should not contain any fully developed commercial properties, these should be sold as soon as possible following completion. The cyclical nature of commercial project development and a varying supply of residential properties for sale means that the item investment properties can vary in size. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 9 B U S I N E S S C O N C E P T, G O A L S A N D S T R AT E G I E S The visible equity ratio should amount to 35% over a business cycle. To the extent the visible equity ratio and interest coverage are assessed as exceeding the optimal capital structure on a lasting basis, capital will be transferred to shareholders in a form that is appropriate at the time. The equity ratio target is a simplified consequence of a more extensive analysis where shareholders’ equity has been allocated to the balance sheet’s different asset classes and types of operations taking assessed operating risk into account. A falling proportion of fully developed investment properties requires a higher equity ratio. Since project development demands ongoing, effective capital allocation in a partly cyclical market, a dynamic approach to financial strength and interest coverage is required. The assessment is that the present equity ratio target provides appropriate financial stability over a business cycle. REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN In order to generate the highest possible shareholder value, JM must have good knowledge of which investments are profitable and achieve the Group’s required rate of return. Every investment in a project must therefore generate a return that covers its cost of capital. The investment’s cash flow is calculated and discounted on the basis of a required rate of return. If the net present value of these cash flows is positive, the investment creates value. Return requirements are set for JM’s various operations where JM’s average required rate of return can be simplified as a balance of JM’s costs for shareholders’ equity and borrowed capital as follows: cost of capital, shareholders , equity • Risk-free return – average return on a five-year government bond is approximately 5%. • Risk premium – for the risk the investor takes when investing in JM shares, the risk premium is estimated at 5%. • The required rate of return on equity (risk-free return plus risk premium) – 10%. cost of capital, borrowed capital • Risk-free return – see above 5%. • Risk premium which is paid on loan financing – 1%. • Tax deduction – since interest expenses reduce the profit on which tax is paid, the actual cost is lower, with corporate tax at 28% the interest expense after tax is reduced by 28% to 4.3%. capital structure • Debt/equity ratio – JM’s target is an equity ratio of 35% over a business cycle. In the individual projects, the debt/ equity ratio is assumed, on average, to be 1.0. The Group’s weighted cost of capital (WACC) and therefore its basic required rate of return is 7.2%. This means that the Group’s average investments must generate cash flow after payment of all operating expenses and tax, but before interest expenses, of at least 7.2% of the basic investment in order to be profitable.

THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD In 2003, JM’s Board comprised seven members, without deputies, who were elected by the Annual General Meeting, and two members with two deputies who were appointed by the employee organisations. NOMINATION Nominations of Board members ahead of an election at an Annual General Meeting are made through a Nomination Committee comprising representatives for the four largest shareholders in the company, at any time, as well as the Chairman of the Board. The composition of the Nomination Committee is announced at the end of the fourth quarter at the latest. Composition is not affected by any changes in ownership structure between the date of presentation of the Nomination Committee and the next Annual General Meeting. The key task of the Nomination Committee is to present the Annual General Meeting with proposals for Board members and fees to Board members as well as, when so required, to propose election of auditors. Ahead of the 2004 Annual General Meeting, the Nomination Committee comprised: Mats Tunér (SEB fonder), chairman, Marianne Nilsson (Robur fonder), Anders Algotsson (AFA Försäkringar), Kjell Norling (Handelsbanken fonder) as well as the Chairman of the Board, Per Westlund. Proposed nominations to the Board are specified in the notice of the Annual General Meeting. THE WORK OF THE BOARD The work of the Board concentrates on strategic issues such as operational focus, finance and financial position, control and efficiency, as well as decisions on production starts, investments and sales of development land and fully developed properties above certain ceiling amounts. Eleven Board meeting were held during the year, including one statutory meeting. The duties of the Chairman of the Board are estimated to amount to approximately 60 working days per year and about 20 working days for non-executive Board members. The Chairman of the Board makes an annual evaluation of the work of the Board with the Board members. REPORTING The President is responsible for ensuring that the Board receives reports and information that are of a quality that allows the Board to make well-founded decisions and qualified assessments. Economic and financial reports are presented at each scheduled Board meeting. Quarterly and year-end reports comprise the basic reporting and are complemented with information from the business units obtained from JM’s internal reporting system. The President is also charged with reporting to each Board meeting the total purchase price for acquired and sold properties and on decisions for investment in properties. Before each meeting, Board members are provided with documentation of which to base their decisions. COMPENSATION AND AUDIT COMMITTEES A Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee were appointed in February 2003. Each committee comprises three members of the Board. The committees are, with a few exceptions, preparatory bodies in relation to the Board. Until the 2004 Annual General Meeting, the Compensation Committee comprises Per Westlund (chairman), Per Olofsson and Lennart Sundén, with the President as a co-opted member. The President does not participate in matters concerning his own compensation. Four meetings were held during the year. Work has included an external evaluation where compensation levels and principles for members of Executive Management were compared with both the building trade and the total private labour market. The Compensation Committee has also developed new, stricter principles for variable compensation. Details of compensation principles for senior executives can be found on page 38 (Human Resources). Until the 2004 Annual General Meeting, the Audit Committee comprises Berthold Lindqvist (chairman), Elisabet Annell and Björn Björnsson. The company’s two auditors and j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 C O R P O R AT E G O V E R N A N C E 11 the President are co-opted members. Eight meetings were held in 2003. Work has focused on measures for better control and oversight, initially directed at weaknesses in the existing organisation, as well as measures that management wished to adopt. The committee then established a programme for control and oversight. The committee has, through an extra assignment to the auditors, verified that measures adopted and routines have been introduced and applied, and that they have had the desired effect. A specification of salary and pension terms for the President as well as compensation to Executive Management is provided on page 75 (Notes to the Financial Statements). Where applicable the Annual General Meeting decides on the introduction of incentive programmes for employees in the form of stock option or convertible debenture programmes. REMUNERATION TO THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT PRESIDENT’S RIGHT OF DECISION Remuneration to Board members is decided by the Annual General Meeting based on proposals from the Nomination Committee. As decided by the 2003 Annual General Meeting, the Chairman of the Board receives a fee of SEK 425,000. Non-executive Board members each receive a fee of SEK 200,000. The Annual General Meeting also decided on fees to the Compensation and Audit Committees with a The Board has delegated to the President the right of decision for purchases and sales of properties (to a maximum value of SEK 100m) and investments in properties (up to SEK 400m). Other cases are decided by the Board. The Board has also delegated to the President the right of decision for production starts for housing projects up to a total project cost, excluding the purchase price for the property, of SEK 400m. These amounts are chosen to meet the Board’s need to exercise control and management’s need of freedom of action. The President has the right to further delegate some of the above decision rights to business unit managers. AU D I T C O M M I T T E E – DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES • Evaluation of external auditors for recommendation to the Board and Annual General Meeting (in consultation with the Nomination Committee). • Approval of fees and remuneration to auditors for special assignments. • Review of audit plans in the short and long term. • Quality assessment of internal control systems and routines. • Reporting and review of areas or projects of special interest. • Examination and review of closing accounts and interim reports. • Reporting and presenting to the Board on observations made at reviews with auditors and management. • Initiating more extensive work within selected areas. C O M P E N S AT I O N C O M M I T T E E – DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES • Preparing proposals regarding salary, pension benefits and other terms for the company’s President. • Preparing proposals regarding general principles for compensation to other employees,particularly variable compensation. • Preparing proposals for any incentive programmes if these are based on share price development. • Deciding on salary and other terms for Executive Management (excluding the President), provided these are based on general principles adopted by the Board. total of SEK 200,000. These fees have been divided equally between the six committee members. MANAGEMENT’S WORK Managerial responsibility includes always working to ensure that guidelines from the Board and President are followed. JM’s operations are divided into five business units each with a manager who has ultimate responsibility and reports to the President. Executive Management (EM) comprises all heads of business units and staff heads and meets at least once a month. Group-wide matters (quality, environment, employees, communications, etc.) are handled by EM jointly. Business matters (such as production starts, investments) are handled by business area managers, the President, the CFO and the senior legal adviser. The President has delegated to the business area managers the right of decision for purchases of properties (up to SEK 10m), infrastructure investments related to projects (up to SEK 10m) and production starts of projects (up to SEK 150m). These decisions are taken by the business unit managers in the business committee. For companies in the JM International business unit, decisions are made by the board of each company, with corresponding decision-making guidelines. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 12 C O R P O R AT E G O V E R N A N C E CONTROL AND REPORTING STRUCTURE Within JM a large number of projects are in production at any given time. It is not unusual for a project to involve more than 100 people with an estimated order value of more than SEK 100m. Every project is run by a project manager who is responsible for the project’s revenues and expenses. The project manager reports to the regional manager who is directly subordinate to the business unit manager. All these people have profit responsibility. The business unit manager is responsible for deciding the revenue level in the project. Follow-up of sold and reserved units takes place on a monthly basis, with reporting to regional manager, business unit manager and the President. Complete reviews and reconciliation of each project’s revenues and expenses are performed every quarter. A selection of major projects is reviewed by the auditors and presented in the Audit Committee every quarter. During 2003 a large number of measures were adopted to improve control and governance of JM’s operations. A number of important project decisions have been centralised, mainly to Executive Management, but also to the Board. Considerably stricter project oversight routines have been introduced, particularly in the Stockholm regions. Formalised “decision gateways” now precede the important project decisions: start of pre-construction, sales start and proRöllingby 2, Åkersberga duction start. Decisions to begin work on a project are now always made by business unit management or Executive Management, or by the Board for major projects. New monitoring routines have been introduced for large projects. Accounts are presented quarterly by the business unit manager and regional manager to the President, Vice President and CFO. Assessment data includes the financial history of the project, future anticipated revenues and expenses and the current sales and reservations situation. Special control groups have been set up for the very largest projects. The assignments of external auditors have also been extended. EFFICIENCY AND STRATEGY Internal efficiency and JM’s future development and direction are also questions that have engaged the Board and Executive Management during the year. A programme to reduce production costs has been launched. This includes both a group-wide pre-construction process (see page 4) and development of long-term, strategic purchasing routines. The Board has also established JM’s strategic direction for the years ahead. This strategy, which is based on the company’s strengths within project development of homes, includes development of the product range in order to attract more customer segments and a focusing of the property portfolio towards residential properties for project development.

Before production can start customers must have reserved a certain proportion of the planned residential units. Projects are multi-year and JM’s involvement continues approximately two years after occupancy, when management responsibility for the property is transferred to the tenant-owner co-operative. HOUSING PROJECTS JM Advance reservations required for production start Market survey Pricing PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Reservations Housing development projects involve a continuous process of acquiring, developing, selling and once again acquiring new properties. Projects are often capital-intensive and involve a number of phases in which value can be added. Project conception Sales Planning Appeals Detailed plan/building permit Customisation Occupancy/Living Pre-construction Production Management for tenant-owner co-operative PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PHASES 0 Conception phase ACQUISITION Management Project conception Planning Occupancy Pre-construction Production SALE/LEASE 1 Financing JM’s strategy is to maintain a high sales rate in order to release capital for new strategic investments. 2 3 Market process 4 5 6 Year 7 Production process HOW LAND VALUES ARISE Land and building rights can be said to be the options of the property market. When the sales price for a tenant-owned unit or the market rent for commercial premises do not provide a return on the construction investment, the building right has a very low value. When the sales price/market rent is high, the building right acquires a high value. Land value is in principle the residual value between the value of the completed building and the production cost of the building. Small fluctuations in the sales price can lead to major variations in land value. The example below, a fictitious housing project in a Stockholm suburb, shows that an increase in the sales price of SEK 2,000 per sq.m. (9%) means that the land value increases by approximately SEK 1,000 per sq.m. or 33%. SENSITIVITY CALCULATION, LAND VALUE PROCESS FOR HOUSING PROJECTS Sales price SEK/sq.m. Housing development projects involve a close interplay between market and production processes. Market surveys are conducted regularly to analyse customer preferences with regard to type of housing, design and local services. These surveys are an important basis for decision both ahead of land acquisitions and before project starts. The illustration below presents the different phases of a Construction cost SEK/sq.m. 23,000 25,000 –17,000 –17,000 Land value scope 6,000 8,000 Development risk 1) –3,000 – 4,000 Residual land value 3,000 4,000 1) Development risk, i.e. the risk associated with market development, planning issues, environmental considerations and final production costs, approximately 50% of estimated surplus value of project. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 17 JM’S CORE BUSINESS The sales price for tenant-owned units alternatively market rent for premises must exceed a certain critical level for new construction to be viable. Below this critical level, the land value will be low while the land value increases fast with rising sales prices/rents once the critical level has been reached. P RO P E RT Y T E R M S JM works with two property types 1): investment properties and development properties. Investment properties comprise residential properties for further development and commercial properties. Development properties mainly relate to land that can be developed for future production. LAND VALUES IN THE PLANNING PROCESS Land value development is affected by general macroeconomic factors, primarily inflation and interest rates, general development in the region and the planning process. The planning process is highly dependent on how active the property owner is. Project development companies such as JM can influence future land usage and value through co-operation with the municipality concerned. During the planning process, the land value rises in stages as the project takes form and elements of uncertainty are eliminated in co-operation between JM and the municipality concerned. The value creation factors to be handled are use, scope, timetable and allocation of costs. The full land value is attained when the detailed plan is approved and a building permit has been obtained. Type of property Definition Investment properties Fully developed properties – for sale Properties under construction – production has started Properties for further development – planned projects Development properties Land with residential building rights Land with commercial building rights Developed properties for further development into residential projects or investment properties A schedule of JM’s investment properties and a selection of major development properties is provided on pages 85–90. 1) With effect from the first quarter of 2004 these will be grouped together as properties for resale. Investment properties will be called project properties. cases JM creates growth in value through densification, conversion into tenant-owner co-operatives, planned demolition, or conversion and extension. In this way usage can be changed, utilisation increased, accessibility improved and attractiveness enhanced for customers and tenants. METHOD FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION Most of JM’s operations relate to housing project development to be sold as tenant-owned or freehold units. In order to calculate the ongoing result in these projects, in common with the rest of the industry JM applies the percentage of completion method. This principle is based on the approach that profits in a project should be recognised in pace with its implementation. The intention is to create a direct link between the financial reporting and the operations conducted during the period. Revenue recognition is increased as the project pro- LAND VALUE DURING PLANNING PROCESS Land value Detailed planning General planning PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION Amount Detailed plan Anticipated recognised revenue Building Planning permit phase Value development during the planning process can be considerable when raw land is converted into a finished building right. JM influences this through its expertise and active participation. Normally it takes between one and five years before a detailed plan can be adopted. Good long-term planning in operations and active work on both existing and potential development properties are important. JM also acquires developed properties that can be further developed into attractive homes or modern offices. In such Profits General plan Net profit Costs Raw land Time Year 1 j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 Year 2 Year 3 18 JM’S CORE BUSINESS gresses and the final result can be defined with greater certainty. The example on the previous page provides a general description. Development land is included in the costs on which percentage of completion is based. Recalculation effects can arise if the project needs to be revalued as regards anticipated sales revenues or production costs. In 2003, the Swedish Construction Federation has conducted an inquiry together with Sweden’s leading housing producers relating to taking up as revenue, revenue recognition and balance sheet handling of housing production under own management. A new industry recommendation is being drawn up which is based on revenue recognition on the basis of sold homes, in the form of contracts signed with end customers, as well as accumulated costs. The new accounting principles, which will be introduced with effect from the 2005 accounting year also follow the international accounting principles IAS, which according to an EU directive are a requirement with effect from 2005. See further page 59 (Accounting and valuation principles). opment. The graph below shows the corresponding payment flows. When JM acquires land it is booked in the balance sheet. When production starts the land is transferred from the balance sheet into the appropriate project phase. The land is sold to a tenant owner co-operation formed by JM in conjunction with the start of production once a purchasing and contractor agreement has been signed between JM and the co-operative. JM invoices the co-operative regularly while the project is under way in accordance with an agreed payment plan. The co-operative finances the land acquisition and contract work through a building loan. Any residential units that remain unsold in the co-operative following final settlement of contract work are purchased by JM at the price specified in the co-operative’s financial plan. JM then sells the residential units at market prices. VALUE CHAIN Value Sales decision Price decision (commercial premises) FOCUS ON CASH FLOW Management Efficient cash flow management is essential since JM’s projects are capital-intensive and long term. JM’s organisation is built up to support and stimulate an optimal cash flow approach in all project phases and thus achieve maximised value development in the Group. While a project is under way a number of decisions are made which have a major impact on cash flow, see the Value Chain diagram on the right.

Infrastructure investments and commuter patterns also have an impact. GROWTH CREATES ATTRACTIVE HOUSING MARKETS So far the highest demographic growth has clearly occurred in the Stockholm region while there has been a substantial movement of people away from the thinly populated rural areas. The population growth rate in Greater Stockholm has slowed in recent years. Demographic growth remains strong in the Gothenburg, and Malmö/Lund regions. University towns such as Uppsala, Linköping, Jönköping and Umeå are other examples of places with demographic growth. TREND INDICATORS Demographic growth Employment Housing production started Growth in the local economy Greater Stockholm Gothenburg Malmö/Lund Oslo Copenhagen Increase compared with 2002 Stable development compared with 2002 Decrease compared with 2002 In growth areas, housing vacancies are low and prime locations almost non-existent. According to the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s most recent housing market survey, the housing shortage is now spreading further around Greater Stockholm, Greater Gothenburg and Skåne. 60 per cent of the Swedish population lives in one of the 100 municipalities with a housing shortage. A shortage of small and medium-sized apartments is most common but several municipalities also report a shortage of medium-sized and large apartments. New proposals have been made by the government designed to stimulate housing construction. These include lower VAT on small apartments and a change to the present subsidies system. However, this will not be sufficient for more than a marginal increase in housing construction. Forecasts for population development and housing construction indicate continued imbalances and an increasing shortage of housing in many of the growth regions. JM develops housing in several regions and must follow the local market and development. The table on the left shows trends for the key parameters for JM’s largest markets. PRICE TREND – SECOND-HAND MARKET Prices for tenant-owned apartments rose in most markets over the past year. In Sweden as a whole the price rise has been between 8 and 10%. Among the major cities, there were substantial price increases in Malmö and Gothenburg during the year. These increases are explained by a high number of people moving into these areas and low mortgage rates. Average prices for tenant-owned apartments have risen for a number of years and this increase is expected to continue in 2004. In Sweden, an average of 22% of disposable income goes to housing. The corresponding figure for Greater Stockholm is 25%. Price increases also occurred in Norway and Denmark in 2003. In Copenhagen demand for housing is very high due to a large influx of people to the Copenhagen area in recent years. This high demand, combined with low interest rates, led to price increases of about 5% in 2003. In Norway, demand for housing is high primarily in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. Prices in these cities rose by an average of 4% in 2003. Both Norway and Denmark forecast weak price increases in 2004 as well, mainly due to high demand and continued low interest rates.

Only 1% cost over SEK 4m. Most buyers of JM’s homes have their own initial funding. Approximately 80% of buyers come from another tenant-owned apartment or house while approximately 20% come from rental apartments. JM’s competitors for new housing production in Sweden mainly comprise nationwide players such as NCC, Peab and Skanska, but also include local players. JM’S HOUSING OUTSIDE SWEDEN norway Through Byggholt and its subsidiaries, JM is one of the more prominent players in the fragmented Norwegian housing market. JM’s market share amounts to approximately 10%, with some upward and downward variations in sub-markets. The competitive situation also varies between sub-markets. In all regions where JM operates the local housing co-operative is a significant player. Other major players include nationwide companies Block Watne, Skanska and Veidekke and, in the Oslo area, NCC and Selvåg. A number of financial players are also involved in housing development projects. denmark Following low housing production in the 1990s, construction has gathered pace in recent years, but is still far from sufficient to meet requirements. Almost 800 residential units were completed in the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg in 2003. JM is a significant player with a market share of 10–15%. The main competitors in housing development are Kuben, NCC Ejerboliger, Nordicom and Sjælsø Group. JM was chosen as company of the year by the Erhvervsejendom magazine. belgium Demand for good homes in attractive locations in the Brussels region is increasing in pace with the continued inflow of peo- j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 21 M A R K E T O V E RV I E W H O U S I N G conditional acquisition, JM meets its future land requirements at a lower cost and the land does not need to be reported over a long period in the balance sheet before new construction starts. In many cases, JM is able to decide both if and when the land should be purchased. These decisions often depend on how planning work is progressing, i.e. the size of the building rights and the current market situation. Development properties are located Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Belgium. The majority are in Greater Stockholm, where JM owns and has access to land for approximately 10,300 residential units. JM’s total available building rights portfolio by region is shown below. This table excludes the approximately 3,700 building rights that are in the balance sheet but which JM intends to sell. ple. The number of inhabitants rose in 2003 for the eighth consecutive year. Housing customers comprise both EUattached foreign citizens and local residents. Acquisition of homes for personal use dominates but the proportion of customers who invest in order to rent out is increasing – Brussels’ total housing portfolio is dominated by apartments acquired for renting. New housing in the Brussels region is stable with approximately 2,000 units per year. JM’s market share is approximately 5–10%. Major players include Jacques Delens, Hansen, Soficom and Wilma. HOUSING STARTS The tempo of JM’s project development has been high for several years and the number of housing starts has exceeded the number sold. This circumstance changed in 2003 when the number of signed contracts continued to rise, 3,200 (2,500), and exceeded the number of housing starts which remained at the 2002 level, approximately 2,700 residential units. This is a desirable development which reduces risk exposure in a more uncertain market climate and a result of the higher requirements for the proportion of reserved units prior to housing starts.

The building rights portfolio contains approximately 16,000 residential units that are reported in JM’s balance sheet. In addition, JM has access to a further some 3,700 building rights in the balance sheet. These are included in the basis for the independent valuation of the building rights portfolio commissioned by JM, but since they are designated to be sold, JM does not include them in its reported available building rights portfolio. Furthermore, building rights for about 7,400 residential units are available through conditional acquisition, co-operation agreements or postponed payments where settlement has not yet been made. These building rights are not reported in the balance sheet.

It normally takes between one and five years for a detailed plan to be adopted. After adoption, it can take more time before production can start. For this reason good long-term planning is essential, and it is important to work actively with existing development properties and to invest in new ones. The map on the opposite page shows some of JM’s ongoing housing projects in the Stockholm region. The projects correspond to approximately 5,300 new homes. LOCATIONS CLOSE TO WATER AND GOOD COMMUNICATIONS A shortage of housing which means increased prices for houses and tenant-owned apartments, has led to people increasingly seeking homes further out from the largest towns.

This enlargement of the regions has mainly started in the Mälar Valley but is also taking place in the Öresund and Gothenburg area and means that new markets have become attractive. JM’s building rights portfolio attempts to meet customers’ increased demand for good communications. Locations close to water are also in high demand when choosing a new home. The diagram below shows the commuting times to the city centre (travelling time in minutes) from JM’s planned housing developments in Greater Stockholm and the Mälar Valley as well as the proportion of homes close to water. From approximately 80% of JM’s building rights commuting time to the centre of Stockholm by public transport takes less than 30 minutes.

The appraisals are made based on an assumed sales price for the properties at actual cash values, whereby future development gains are not taken into account.The valuations were based on the location, attractiveness, scope and type of building planned, the stage in the planning process and the time remaining until production starts. The assessed market value of JM’s residential development properties amounts to SEK 4,785m (5,132).The corresponding book value is SEK 3,439m (3,779).The approximately 7,400 residential units available through conditional acquisitions were not included in the appraisal. site in the housing market concerned and includes good communications, proximity to commercial services as well as locations close to water. Class B is a good to normal location in the respective housing market. Class C indicates a housing location slightly further from communications and commercial services, while D locations are in peripheral areas in the housing market. The phases of the planning process have also been classified by NewSec into four planning phases: raw land, general plan, detailed plan and building permit. The diagrams below show a breakdown of the value of JM’s development properties into different locations and planning phases.

An “open house” was held for the residents in Älta together with Älta’s local authority where JM presented visions for the design of the Älta shopping centre. The intention was to encourage participation in this development work. In December the residents were invited to express their views on the proposals and opinions in general. All information and JM’s four proposals can be accessed on the municipal website. In Vaxholm, JM has also started work on developing and densifying the portfolio. Initially, the municipality was contacted to discuss and outline opportunities to create additional building rights. In both Nacka and Vaxholm many tenants have shown an interest in conversion to tenant owner- MARKET FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES Älta väge n Stensö skola Oxelväg en Stavsborgsskolan Flaten JM’s holdings in Älta, following acquisitions in 2003, amount to approximately 1,000 apartments. VA X H O L M Stockh en olmsväg In spring 2003 JM carried out a major property deal with Tornet. JM sold commercial properties in Mörby Centrum totalling approximately 56,000 sq.m. and at the same time purchased approximately 1,000 apartments in Älta, Nacka. By exercising a call option issued by Tornet in conjunction with this deal, JM also acquired about 1,100 apartments in Vaxholm during the summer. The deal meant that JM sold fully developed properties and at the same time acquired large housing areas with both valueadded and development potential. JM has thus acquired an opportunity to improve and densify attractive areas while the two attractive housing portfolios with their low vacancies generate reliable cash flows. JM’s aim is to increase attractiveness, develop new building rights, improve services, increase accessibility and create secure environments. In autumn 2003 JM started work on developing new build- Ältasjön n äge RESIDENTIAL PORTFOLIO FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Ä LTA v sö re Ty In growth regions the housing shortage is expected to continue and in many cases increase. A weak market should therefore not have any negative impact on well situated residential properties. Rental levels in properties with rented apartments are controlled by a utility value system, a principle that means that rental development is linked to the cost development in the municipal housing company in the location concerned. Opportunities for large increases in value in the short term are small, as is the risk of a major fall in value. When investing in rental apartments there is only a risk in places with no growth and which also suffer from company closures or relocations, which can lead to increased vacancies.

MARKET FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES Commercial project development conducted by JM is concentrated to Stockholm and, to a limited extent, Brussels. The market is cyclical and strongly dependent on national and regional growth. In 2003 vacancies continued to rise throughout the Stockholm area due to higher unemployment and continued space efficiency. Tenants are demanding modern, space-efficient offices and the differences between old-fashioned and modern premises became increasingly clear in 2003, with regard to both rental levels and vacancy rates. Today it is difficult to lease out old-fashioned premises regardless of location. These premises need to undergo major conversion or be leased out at considerably lower rents in order to be competitive. Often companies choose to move to modern premises with high space efficiency where the cost per employee is reduced even though the rent in SEK/sq.m. is higher than for unmodernised office premises. All sub-markets in Greater Stockholm noted rent reductions in 2003. At most, market rent fell between 10 and 15% for unmodernised premises in the city or inner suburbs. At year-end 2002 the vacancy rate for offices in Stockholm city centre was approximately 8% (7) and conversion vacancies were approximately 5% (4).

There are considerable variations, however, with Kista being hit hardest while parts of the inner city fared better. A number of large office projects were completed in 2003 in Kista, Solna, the city centre and Södermalm, with total space of about 200,000 sq.m. Current forecasts indicate stronger GDP growth in 2004 but the upward turnaround in the Swedish economy is predicted to be delayed until the second half of 2004. Vacancies are expected to continue to rise slightly at the beginning of 2004 and a general turnaround in rental development can take place in spring 2005 at the earliest. 2003 saw continued major interest from foreign property investors, primarily for commercial properties. As in 2002, German pension funds and American venture capital funds were the most active. The main characteristics of the sold properties are attractive locations in the city centre or inner suburbs, modern or totally converted and with tenants with long leases. Demand for functional offices in the EU district and in the administrative centre of Brussels remains high. New additions are limited and new leases are mainly for totally renovated or newly built office premises. In total leasing in 2003 exceeded the previous year’s level and EU enlargement will have a noticeable impact. In attractive districts the vacancy rate is about 4% and rents have reached new all-time highs. JM’S INVESTMENT PROPERTIES JM’s portfolio of investment properties is divided into fully developed properties, properties under construction and properties for further development. The last-named consist of existing properties where JM plans densification, change of form of tenure, planned demolition, conversion or extension to change usage, raise utilisation, improve accessibility or in some other way enhance the value of the property. Investment properties for further development and under construction show fluctuating rental revenues and operating nets depending on the different phases of the project. In order to provide an accurate picture of the entire property portfolio, these properties are separated from fully developed properties. 1,000 500 JM’S PROPERTY SALES 0 Golden triangle 1998 * Top rent 1999 City 2000 Rest of inner city 2001 2002 Good inner suburbs 2003 Source: NewSec The property market shows a cyclical development, i.e. has regular market fluctuations where both rents and property values vary substantially due to supply and demand.

It is therefore important for a property developer to both acquire properties for development and sell fully developed properties at the right time. In 2003, JM sold properties for a total of SEK 2,219m. These sales provided a total capital gain of SEK 411m. The largest deal was when JM sold the Svärdet properties in Mörby and acquired approximately 2,100 residential units in Nacka and Vaxholm at the same time. Other major property deals included the sale of the newly developed hotel property on Vasagatan, Pennfäktaren 10, and a totally renovated office property in central Brussels.

Leasing is under way and currently 64% of the space is leased. In Brussels, an office property is under development in a central location in the Leopold district. The property has not been leased out. PROPERTIES FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT – PLANNED PROJECTS Development work is under way for several properties in JM’s portfolio. This work includes matters related to planning, design, and assessments of the economic climate and market. Today, most of the properties for further development comprise the residential portfolios in Älta and Vaxholm. In addition to properties for further development, JM also has available commercial building rights amounting to approximately 200,000 sq.m. FULLY DEVELOPED PROPERTIES – FOR SALE The portfolio of fully developed properties decreased in 2003 from SEK 2,109m to SEK 515m as a result of sales. The remaining portfolio is concentrated to Stockholm’s inner city and northern suburbs and Uppsala, and mainly comprises commercial properties. JM’s portfolio of fully developed properties outside Sweden consists of properties in Belgium and Norway. Most of the leases in JM’s portfolio of fully developed properties run for 3–5 years. 47% of rental revenues are from leases which run until the end of 2007 or longer. Vacancies in JM’s portfolio of fully developed commercial properties and residential properties for further development amount to 4% (10) of annual rents and 4% (10) of space. The occupancy rate for the Swedish office projects under construction amounts to approximately 65% of annual rents and 64% of space.

The valuations were performed as regular cash flow analyses where the market value is calculated as the sum of the present value of annual net payment flows during the calculation period and the present value of the market value (residual value) in the event of a sale at the end of the calculation period. The valuations were performed for each individual property based on present lease circumstances and an assessment of market rents, operating and maintenance costs and the special circumstances of each asset.Based on the market situation in the sub-market concerned,long-term vacancy and direct yield requirements were assessed.All valuations were performed in accordance with the Swedish Property Index (SFI) rules. The basis for the valuations are surveys conducted in 2002–2003 and individual assessment of each property’s prerequisites. In assessments of the market value of properties which are under construction or are intended for further development, the market value was based on market revenues and costs in a completed state,minus the assessed remaining construction costs and with deductions for uncertainty,risk and reasonable project gains. The following value factors were used in the assessment of market value: Sub-market Stockholm Rest of Sweden Residential properties, Greater Stockholm Market rent offices, SEK/sq.m.

After falling for a number of years, housing expenditure’s share of households’ disposable income rose in 2003, see diagram below. This increase was caused by both lower disposable income and higher housing expenditure. Risk management – an integrated part of JM’s core business Value creation within JM is clearly linked to the company’s ability to manage the risks in its operations. Controlled risk-taking contributes to increased profitability. MACROECONOMIC RISKS economic trend The general business climate affects both demand for new housing and price levels. JM’s project development is concentrated to areas that are assessed as having the best opportunities for long-term economic growth. Systematic efforts are made to monitor economic development and its effects on the business. consumer spending power JM’s housing is in a segment where a large group of households have sufficient regular income to finance their purchases. The consumer spending power trend, combined with a continued influx of people to metropolitan areas throughout the Nordic HOUSING EXPENDITURE IN RELATION TO DISPOSABLE INCOME % 25 general interest rate situation The general interest rate situation is both a risk and an opportunity for JM since it affects, among other things: • Interest expenses for the Group’s net borrowing (see page 34). • The required rate of return at property valuations (see page 29). • The sales price of both housing and commercial properties. • Demand, particularly for housing. The greatest threat which could lead to a decline in price and demand is an interest rate hike. MARKET RISKS housing Demand for new housing is mainly affected by demographic growth and economic development in the area, consumer spending power, prices and price development in the socalled second-hand market. The final price that JM receives depends on local demand, the location and attractiveness of the residential units and the current interest rate situation. JM gives priority to attractive locations, preferably close to water, in places with good opportunities for growth. JM works closely with prospective home buyers in order to ensure that planned projects meet demand and to secure a high level of advance reservations. 24 23 22 21 20 19 1999 Greater Stockholm 2000 2001 Sweden incl.

Where applicable rents, charges, amortisation and operating costs are included. Adjustments have been made for tax effects and any housing allowance. Any wealth tax is not included in the calculation. Source: Temaplan commercial premises JM’s project development of commercial premises is primarily focused on projects that support housing development projects. It is important to create stable revenue flows in the property. A well-composed tenant structure, combined with the right location and high quality in the property, are of major importance when it comes to a sale. project development portfolio JM has building rights available for future production corresponding to 23,400 residential units, of which approximately j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 31 O P P O RT U N I T I E S A N D R I S K S 16,000 are booked as an asset in the balance sheet, and 7,400 properties available through conditional acquisition outside the balance sheet. The residential building rights portfolio had a book value of SEK 3.4 billion at year-end 2003. In addition, JM has a further some 3,700 building rights at its disposal in the balance sheet. These are included in the basis for the independent valuation of the building rights portfolio commissioned by JM, but are designated to be sold and JM therefore does not include them in its reported available building rights portfolio. The future net capital outlay for acquisition of the 7,400 building rights available through conditional acquisition, cooperation agreements or postponed payments is assessed to amount to approximately SEK 1,500m. It is possible to continue to partition and sell development land from acquired land without affecting the number of building rights. The portfolio of properties for future project development should correspond to approximately four years’ planned production. Its size and composition provides great potential and a theoretical risk. Lead times are long from project conception to final sale and major projects can represent order values of several billion Swedish kronor. Projects are started, however, in phases. JM does not start a project until a certain proportion of the residential units has been reserved. guarantee commitments for tenant-owner co-operatives JM primarily develops homes that are sold to tenant-owner co-operatives formed by JM (JM also handles sales to end customers). In pace with project completion, the tenant-owner co-operative is invoiced for accumulated costs in the project. In order to finance production, the tenant-owner co-operative raises a building loan. JM issues a guarantee for the part of the building loan that exceeds the co-operative’s future long-term loans. The long-term loans are secured by mortgage deeds taken out by the co-operative itself. JM’s guarantee commitments cease when the building loan is redeemed when tenants move in. The theoretical risk of JM becoming liable to pay in accordance with its guarantee commitment is reduced by the reservations requirement prior to production starts. competitive scenario JM’s competitors in project development are both major national players and smaller local project development com- panies. JM tries to distinguish itself through a large number of factors that interact efficiently within the company. These include the overall corporate culture, agility, expertise in acquisitions, decision-making, project implementation, quality profile and sales. OPERATING RISKS cost control and internal oversight Effective cost control in project development is very important. A number of measures were adopted in 2003 to improve internal oversight and control. These are described more fully on page 46. The main volume in JM’s operations is attributable to housing development projects in Sweden. Related costs for 2003 amounted to approximately SEK 4,800m. Direct salaries/wages, direct materials and costs for subcontractors account for 15%, 19% and 37% respectively of JM’s project costs. In order to ensure quality requirements and production competence and contribute to effective cost control, JM maintains some construction contractor resources. These resources are limited, however, which makes JM dependent on cost development at subcontractors. In general resources are contracted well ahead of time, which means that JM normally has a controlled cost situation. The number of projects, their volume, development phase and utilisation of subcontractors vary from year to year. This and many other factors affect the total cost base and the breakdown between cost groups.

Land pertains to the acquisition cost for land. Developer’s costs are costs not directly related to contracting, such as interest on loans, municipal connection charges and registration of title. Pre-construction mainly relates to costs for technical consultants. Overheads refer to incidental expenses for setting up the building site and rents for leased fixed assets such as plant and equipment. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 32 O P P O RT U N I T I E S A N D R I S K S revenue recognition method JM’s current result is obtained using the percentage of completion method in ongoing projects (see page 17). JM applies a conservative percentage of completion method, but this still makes high demands on well-considered assessments from those responsible for revenues and costs within the organisation. Conservative revenue recognition has increased in the early phases following the negative project revaluations that were required in the 2002 annual accounts due to project deficiencies in Stockholm. A more strict model for revenue recognition will be introduced with effect from 2005 (see page 18). POLITICAL RISKS What and how much can be built, and when housing starts can take place, very much depend on planning work. JM is dependent on good co-operation with the municipality concerned and on planning work not being delayed due to political decisions. Political decisions related to infrastructure development, and the introduction of new laws and regulations, can have a positive or negative impact on operations. JM’s experience of project development and long-term relationships with municipal authorities mean that JM can reduce the political risks. Acquisition of building rights subject to an approved detailed plan are another factor. RISK ASSESSMENT JM continuously evaluates the proportion of unreserved and unsold residential units in relation to ongoing production. The proportion of unreserved or unsold units should not be too high, but nor should it be too low since value creation at JM is linked to a high and controlled rate of project start-ups. In 2003, the proportion of unreserved and unsold residential units decreased, so the risk in JM was reduced. JM aims to have all residential units sold by final inspection. Units that remain unsold after completion and final inspection are potentially a major risk in terms of value, since JM undertakes to purchase unsold homes from the tenant-owner co-operatives it has formed. S E N S I T I V I T Y A N A LYS I S – BU I L D I N G R I G H T S P O RT F O L I O One way to reflect the dynamics in the building rights portfolio is to perform a sensitivity analysis where all anticipated cash flows from the portfolio are calculated at present value. Below are a number of simplified assumptions designed to reveal the present value of JM’s building rights portfolio, at a number of assumed sales prices. 23,400 residential building rights are evenly distributed over a 8-year production period.The initial investment is excluded since the calculation is intended to show the value of the portfolio. However,investments not yet made of approximately SEK 1,500m for conditional acquisitions or deferred payments are included in the analysis as a future constant outgoing cash flow during the period. JM’s standard residential unit is assumed to be 88 sq.m., the assumed tax rate is 28% and the discount rate is 7.2%.The calculation does not take possible inflation into account and is not a forecast. The table shows the assumed revenue and project expenses per sq.m. of apartment space excluding VAT. If a specific revenue/project expense per sq.m. is assumed to apply to the entire building rights portfolio and outgoing cash flow for conditional acquisitions is taken into account, a value is created, expressed as present value.The analysis shows a strong leverage effect in value creation depending on the company’s ability to manage both revenues and expenses effectively, and not least the general trend for house prices during the period. A price or cost change of SEK 1,000 per sq.m. corresponds to about SEK 1,100m or almost SEK 40 per share according to the basis for this calculation.

FINANCE POLICY The finance policy specifies the objectives for finance operations, overall responsibility and specific rules and limits. The objectives for the finance operations are to: • Support operating activities in residential and commercial project development. • Optimise use of capital and cash flow management. • Control and manage the financial risks to which JM is exposed. between JM AB and subsidiaries, and to external suppliers, have so far been so limited that currency hedging has not been required. JM AB has hedged NOK 85m of the net investment in Byggholt AS through matching borrowing in Norwegian kroner. Derivative instruments may only be used in order to minimise risks. JM is working to adapt its financial risk management ahead of introduction of IAS 39 – Financial Instruments. FINANCE STRATEGY JM’s basic finance strategy is to clearly link cash flows from projects in progress and investment properties to the company’s management of borrowing and interest rate risks. This strategy provides the best control of financial risks. In order to maintain flexible administration and costeffective debt management, existing loan agreements are guaranteed by JM’s excellent creditworthiness, which means that no mortgage deeds are provided. LOAN STRUCTURE SEKm 2,500 % 25 2,000 20 1,500 15 1,000 10 500 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s financial risks primarily consist of interest rate risk, financing risk, liquidity risk and, to a limited extent, currency risk. The choice of maturities and fixed interest spread is governed by several factors, such as capital tied up in ongoing projects, business risk, anticipated dates for sale of properties, the terms of leases in investment properties and the Group’s financial position in general. These factors are summarised in the Board’s established guidelines for fixed interest spread and maturity structure with scope for deviations within certain limits based on the current market situation. There are also rules for handling interest rate risk in building loans during the construction period and recommendations for final financing of tenant-owner co-operatives. Cash is kept at a low level and any surplus liquidity may only be invested in banks defined by JM and in Swedish fixed-income securities without currency risk. Payment preparedness is maintained through overdraft facilities and committed credit lines. Currency risk on transactions is eliminated as far as possible. Currency hedging against balance sheet exposure is carried out on a selective basis.

The debt/equity ratio at year-end was 0.8 times (1.0) and the interest coverage ratio was 2.1 times (2.1). The loan-tovalue ratio in the property portfolio, i.e. interest-bearing liabilities in relation to the estimated market values of investment properties plus the book values of development properties, amounted to 37% (53). JM strives for efficient use of capital with a higher asset turnover. Efficiency is achieved with increased net sales combined with reduced total assets due to the sale of properties.

The average interest on the debt during the year was 5.4% (5.9). The average interest rate on the interest-bearing loans, excluding PRI, was 5.5% (5.9) at year-end. Most of the loans redeemed during the year had short fixed interest terms and therefore carried low interest. At the same time, the average fixed interest term has increased from 2.3 to 2.5 years. In 2004, SEK 2,319m (90%) of JM’s loan stock will be restructured. A 1 percentage point change in interest rates corresponds to changed interest expenses of approximately SEK 5m, including the effect from risk-minimising derivative contracts, on the portion of the loan stock restructured in 2004. In 2003 JM sold properties for approximately SEK 2,200m. The sales proceeds were used for redemption of loans in conjunction with the sales. At the same time, new loans were raised to finance acquisitions of development properties in Sweden and in foreign subsidiaries. The net change in inter- 2001 2002 Debt/equity ratio, times 2003 est-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK –1,327m (–1,617). Net financial items improved by SEK 73m in 2003. Capitalisation of interest expenses related to commercial project development amounted to SEK 1m (12). The lower interestbearing debt made a positive contribution to improved net financial items. The long-term rate (5-year interest rate swap) fell heavily in the spring and early summer 2003 and then climbed upwards again to end at roughly the same level as at the beginning of the year. The short rate was approximately 3.9% at the beginning of the year and had then fallen to approximately 2.9% by year-end without any significant upswings during the year.

The sector is also of major importance for a well-functioning society since it contributes to key infrastructure such as homes, offices and roads. JM’s aim is to meet these requirements without jeopardising the ability of future generations to meet theirs: a long-term sustainable development. 35 CONTROL OF THE ENTIRE CHAIN Acting simultaneously as developer, planner, contractor and manager, gives JM control over the entire construction process. This creates good opportunities to minimise the environmental impact of the buildings throughout their entire life cycle, from land acquisition to finished building and on to management and demolition. Opportunities are greatest during planning and pre-construction. During this phase the environmental impact a building or structure will have during its total life cycle is determined. Decisions made during this period have repercussions for a very long time. This applies in particular to T H E G RO U P ’ S Q UA L I T Y A N D E N V I RO N M E N TA L P O L I C Y SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE EFFORTS Back in 1994, JM was the first construction company in Europe to sign an environmental policy. The company has subsequently integrated its environmental work into its business process, with the aim of creating a more long-term approach and credibility. This has provided competitive advantages and led to several respected environmental funds, including Banco’s Swedish environmental fund and Robur environmental fund, investing in the company for many years. During the year, JM also earned a high rating in Folksam’s annual environmental survey, the Climate Index. JM has long been involved in the building sector’s concerted efforts to be more sustainable from an ecological perspective. This work has mainly been carried out via the Ecocycle Council for the Building Sector, where an ambitious environmental programme was adopted during the year designed to involve the entire sector. One sector-wide project that deserves special mention is the Building Industry’s Phasing Out of Especially Hazardous Substances, called BASTA in Sweden, which is supported by the EU. The intention is, within a few years, to build up a qualification system for phasing out especially hazardous substances within the building sector. JM is one of six partners involved in the development of BASTA. In September, JM also pledged support for the commitments of the “Bygga Bo” dialogue. This involves a number of companies, municipalities and the government in a joint undertaking to carry out certain measures within the areas of effective use of energy, effective use of resources and a healthy indoor climate. JM shall promote long-term quality and environmental management in all its operations.The company shall focus on customer needs and strive for sustainable development of society. To accomplish this, we shall: • Preserve and contribute environmental and aesthetic values to the urban and natural landscapes. • Produce buildings with a healthy living and working environment. • Work in a structured and systematic manner that leads to continual improvements in environmental and quality performance. • Prevent the production and dispersal of pollutants and promote resource conservation and closed cycles. • Actively contribute to development of knowledge and raise employee awareness of quality and environmental issues. • Apply environmental standards that are more rigorous than existing legal requirements. Q UA L I T Y A N D E N V I RO N M E N TA L O B J E C T I V E S • We shall focus on quality, the environment and ethics so that every customer and project is a good reference. • Our projects shall be structured, implemented and managed so as to minimise energy consumption and its impact on the environment. • We shall reduce the volume and hazardousness of waste. • We shall use materials and methods that reduce environmental impact and contribute to a healthy indoor and working environment. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 36 E N V I RO N M E N T ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION PLANNING BUILDING SITE FINISHED BUILDING DEMOLITION TIME IN PROCESS: MONTHS TIME IN PROCESS: 1/2 YEAR – YEARS TIME IN PROCESS: 1/2 YEAR – YEARS TIME IN PROCESS: 50 – 100 YEARS TIME IN PROCESS: MONTHS JM'S INFLUENCE ON THE PROCESS: MAJOR MINOR SCOPE TO PREVENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: MAJOR THE ENVIRONMENT: MINOR two of JM’s significant environmental aspects: energy consumption when the buildings are in use, and the use of certain building materials. Other significant environmental aspects are handling of building waste, use of transport and machinery, and handling contaminated land. EFFECTIVE CONTROL The Group has a quality and environmental policy as well as quality and environmental objectives, while each operation within the Group has drawn up a quality and environmental programme with quantifiable and timetabled quality and environmental targets. In addition to objectives and programmes at an overall level, project programmes and environmental consequence analyses are conducted at project level. Follow-up includes checks, environmental rounds, inspections, exception reports and key performance indicators (KPIs). With the aid of process-oriented operational control systems, the operations receive control and support in their daily quality and environmental work. Internal audits are used to check how the requirements of the operational control system are met in the project. Since JM has a major indirect environmental impact via its external partners – consultants, subcontractors and suppliers – demands are also made on them to have the required environmental routines. JM’s principal suppliers are subject to special environmental assessments. MINOR MODERATE MAJOR Each of JM’s operations has a quality and environment council that formulates targets. Practical work is co-ordinated by a quality and environmental manager, who is also responsible for the operational control system together with the different process owners. Each geographic region has a quality and environment co-ordinator who functions as an internal auditor and support. The Group’s Quality and Environment department is responsible for overall co-ordination. A extensive review of both the operational control system and audit methods was conducted during the year in order to ensure good control towards long-term profitability, lower business risks and uniform company processes. In addition, extensive work has been started to change the company’s pre-construction and purchasing routines. The intention is to use fewer and well-tried solutions and thus increase control over choice of materials and methods. As part of ongoing efforts to “industrialise” operations – without forgoing customer requirements – a more consistent and effective control of energy measures and other environmental activities is being sought. Ongoing training and active development work are conducted both internally and in co-operation with other players in order to raise competence and involvement among employees. The requirements in the quality and environmental management standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are essentially met as a result of the way JM works. jm annual report 2003 37 E N V I RO N M E N T ENERGY EFFICIENCY FAC T S E N V I RO N M E N T 2003 2002 2001 80 103 59 105 160 110 13,900 14,540 – Environmentally assessed framework agreement partners Internal quality and environmental audits within residential project development Carbon dioxide emissions JM (tonnes) Carbon dioxide emissions JM (tonnes/SEKm) 2.2 2.3 – Investment properties with district heating (%) 89 1) 100 96 1,600 Products in the environmental database 2,165 2,000 Projects with KPIs (%) 88 93 84 Projects with KPIs 42 41 42 1) Others are acquired housing with direct electric heating. A building’s energy consumption is by far JM’s most significant environmental aspect. In order to minimise energy requirements, high energy efficiency is planned back at the drawing board. Mandatory procedures include use of lowenergy lamps, low-energy white goods, low-flush toilets, water-saving taps, and low-energy fans. Other measures vary depending on the project and may include extra well-insulated windows, bespoke ventilation, individual measurement of hot water consumption or systems for renewable energy such as solar panels, solar cells and ground heat. Eco-labelled electricity is mandatory on all building sites. GOOD CHOICE OF MATERIALS ECO-COMPLIANT HOMES The residential buildings built by JM meet a number of specified requirements for methods and technical solutions. These requirements are intended to reduce the environmental impact of the buildings and to create conditions for a healthy indoor climate. A healthy indoor climate is characterised by qualities such as ease of cleaning, building materials, acoustics and air quality. Dust-collecting surfaces are minimised and noise is kept out using sound-proofed apartment doors without letterboxes. The entire property has three-phase, five-wire wiring and fuse boxes located away from bedrooms and living room in order to minimise exposure to electromagnetic fields. In order to steer use of building materials towards lower environmental impact, JM has had a unique internal system for eco-evaluation for a number of years. Only materials that are approved may be used. Products that are evaluated include paints, glues, jointing compounds, and floor and roof materials. The results are stored in JM’s environmental product database. Building materials are assessed from a life cycle perspective. This includes examining their content of hazardous substances that might affect the working, living and outdoor environments. Use of thermoplastics and products that have a high organic solvent content is avoided, as are lead/lead alloys, short-chained phthalates, chlorinated paraffin, bromide flame retardants and other substances hazardous to health and the environment.

Investments in employee competence primarily have a business-support purpose. PERSONNEL STRUCTURE At year-end 2003, JM had 2,368 employees, comprising 1,090 salaried employees and 1,278 wage-earners. A total of 296 people, 97 salaried employees and 199 wage-earners, left the company following the issue of redundancy notices. Some 120 employees chose to leave the company during the year. The average age of employees has decreased in recent years, to 44 for salaried employees and 40 for wage-earners. The proportion of graduates among salaried employees was 25% (26). EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT In its personnel policy JM has defined competence as knowledge, willingness and ability. These parameters form the basis of the performance reviews between manager and employee, and are the foundations on which employee development is conducted. In general JM works with a philosophy that practical work is the main source of individual development. Courses organised by the company are also a key part of competence development. JM has a number of programmes designed to motivate employees, increase equal opportunities and strengthen its image as the industry’s best employer. For example, JM encourages employees to take out parental leave. Compensation for loss of income during parental leave is offered for up to six months, with up to 80% of salary regardless of income. During 2003, 63 employees used this opportunity, 30 of whom were men. Surveys indicate without exception considerable job enjoyment among employees. An open organisation where individual employees are seen and given responsibility and authority at an early state, as well as investments in competence development are frequent assessments. MANAGEMENT SUPPLY JM mainly uses internal recruitment to meet requirements for managers and leaders. Internal recruitment provides good opportunities for individual development within the company while the corporate culture is strengthened and knowledge of “the business” is retained. External influences are important, however, and it is up to managers and leaders at JM to ensure that these are brought into the organisation also in other ways than through recruitment. All JM’s managers are also tasked with identifying future managers. Management development has a clear hands-on profile. People identified as future managers and leaders are gradually given more and more responsibility and complementary education is provided if required. A three-year trainee programme is one way of ensuring future leadership supply. COMPENSATION POLICY Approximately 270 of JM’s managers and leaders are included in a profit-based salary system. Total salary comprises a fixed and variable component, with a maximum result for the variable component which, depending on position, varies between two and seven monthly salaries. Apart from being based on financial results, which has the greatest importance, the variable salary component is also based on the results of customer surveys and individual target attainment. ETHICAL GUIDELINES JM drew up group-wide ethical guidelines in 2002 which were implemented in 2003. These guidelines have been developed to support individual employees in their professional role, both as regards decisions relating to their work and codes of conduct for relationships with other employees, suppliers and customers. JM’s ethics committee provides ongoing support to the organisation and is responsible for continuous development of these guidelines. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES For several years JM has been making active efforts to achieve a more even gender distribution. The proportion of women among salaried employees has increased steadily and amounted to 36% at the end of 2003, an increase of 1 per- j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 39 HUMAN RESOURCES centage point compared with 2002. Almost half of the people who have attended JM’s trainee programme and 15% of the Group’s senior executives are women. for measures designed to allow the employee to return to work as soon as possible. Treatment is provided by therapists, psychologists, physiotherapists, naprapaths and when required vocational guidance. WELLNESS PROGRAMMES JM works actively with preventive health care in order to avoid absence due to illness and industrial injuries. Internally, absence due to illness among salaried employees and wage-earners is reported separately. In 2003 long-term absence due to illness among salaried employees was 1.7%, and 4.6% among wage-earners. In addition to regular company health care all employees are offered a number of wellness programmes such as exercise, treatment from a naprapath, physiotherapy, massage, and information about the correlation between diet and health. Stress-related illness has become an increasingly common reason for salaried employees being on the long-term sick list (45%) in recent years. In order to reduce stress-related absence due to illness, JM works to prevent this based on an individual perspective and on a manager/leader perspective. All employees have an opportunity to attend stress management training and JM’s managers are trained to identify symptoms of stress among their employees at an early stage. Among wage-earners injuries from falls and strain-related injuries are the main reasons for long periods on the sick-list (75%). JM tries to reduce such injuries through continuous and consistent efforts in the working environment on the sites and through job rotation. One wellness concept which has gradually been introduced is daily warming up exercises and stretching during working hours, body-building and fitness training outside working hours, and access to treatment from a naprapath at the workplace. “Building gymnastics” take place on most of JM’s building sites. Studies of JM’s wage-earners compared with workers at sites outside the wellness programme have shown both a reduction in industrial injuries and that JM’s employees are in far better physical shape. JM’s ultimate aim is to reduce both strain-related injuries and accidents to zero. REHABILITATION JM’s rehabilitation work is based on co-operation between the central personnel function, the manager responsible, the person on the sick-list and the care providers. JM works actively during the illness process by initiating and paying NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES Number 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 1999 2000 Salaried employees 2001 2002 2003 Wage-earners ABSENCE DUE TO ILLNESS % 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 2002 2003 Salaried employees, sick pay period Wage-earners, sick pay period Salaried employees > 21 days Wage-earners > 21 days 2003 2002 5.4 5.6 55.4 55.6 Women’s absence due to illness/ Women’s total normal working hours, % 4.1 4.3 Men’s absence due to illness/ Men’s total normal working hours, % 5.6 5.8 Breakdown of absence due to illness by age Employees aged –29 Employees aged 30–49 Employees aged 50– 4.8 4.4 7.4 4.4 4.8 7.6 2,398 2,582 ABSENCE DUE TO ILLNESS Total absence due to illness/ All employees’ total normal working hours, % Absence due to illness during consecutive period of at least 60 days/Total absence due to illness, % Number of employees included in calculation In all cases the calculation is based on the number of worked or non-worked hours. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 40 THE BRAND Increased marketing efforts The purpose of JM’s brand-building activities and longterm profiling campaigns is to maintain and enhance interest in JM’s housing and commercial premises, and thus make a positive contribution to sales. POSITIONING As the market’s leading player, it is in JM’s interest to promote higher demand in general for newly built homes. The second-hand market, homes that are not newly built, is the main competitor. JM therefore seeks to highlight the advantages of buying a new home, such as opportunities to have a say in choice of materials, fittings and layout. The slogan “Room for enjoyment” summarises the values that JM represents and symbolises the optimal benefit JM wishes to offer its customers. BRAND INVESTMENTS JM has increased its brand investments in recent years in order to support planned volume growth and adopt a clear position in the light of greater competition in housing development projects. Brand investments were increased considerably in 2003. Co-ordinating brand campaigns with ongoing sales activities provides more value per invested advertising krona. Poster campaigns, film and TV commercials and radio spots complement project catalogue mail shots and newspaper advertisements. On four occasions in 2003 these integrated campaigns were conducted before and in direct connection with JM’s regular customer activity the Grand Viewing Day. Apart from a substantial increase in the number of visitors on viewing days and hits on JM’s website, significant sales results could be noted. MARKET WINDOW WWW.JM.SE The Internet is an increasingly important search engine for prospective home buyers and a natural first direct contact with JM. Further development of JM’s website, with a focus on user friendliness and consistent property presentations, has been carried out. SPONSORING AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY For JM it is important that sponsoring activities are brandbuilding and have a link to JM’s own operations. JM also has a responsibility to contribute to positive social development. JM has made the assessment that sport, culture and social responsibility are appropriate areas for sponsoring. By sponsoring Mentor, a foundation dedicated to giving young people a drug-free upbringing, JM is involved in the Hjulsta school in north Stockholm. JM is also principal sponsor of the Millesgården museum on Lidingö. Sponsoring costs totalled SEK 2.6m in 2003. AWARDS High ratings or mentions in industry competitions are important for JM’s image to the outside world. In 2003 two of JM’s senior living projects received awards. The Swedish Association of Architects’ Housing award was given to the Opus 1 project in Ljunghusen. The Hammarskogen project in Järfälla, north of Stockholm, received an award in 2003 for good building culture from Järfälla town planning office. STRENGTH IN THE BRAND Knowledge of and attitudes to JM are good. Surveys show that JM is the supplier of choice in its target group – more people name JM than any other company when asked who they would turn to in order to buy a newly built home.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 34m (–27). The business unit’s lower external volumes are attributable to a lower proportion of external contracting work. Phasing out of unprofitable units and the sale of non-strategic operations contributed to an improved margin. The business unit carries out construction work for external and internal customers in the Greater Stockholm area.

In this deal, JM sold all the Svärdet properties, the offices in Mörby, Danderyd, for SEK 931m with a capital gain of SEK 235m. At the same time, 2,100 residential units were acquired in Nacka and Vaxholm for SEK 1,422m. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Work has started on detailed plans for densification of the residential areas acquired by JM in Nacka and Vaxholm. There is also considerable interest in conversion of existing rental units into tenant-owned apartments in these areas. At year-end discussions were under way with four tenantowner co-operatives in Nacka and Vaxholm, comprising approximately 250 apartments. In the Barnängen block in Södermalm a 9,000 sq.m. industrial property is being converted into modern offices where tenants already moved in include the architect firms Nyréns and Sweco FFNS. Conversion is also under way of offices and retail space in the Västerbotten block in Torsvik, Lidingö. In 2003, JM signed a lease with the transport and logistics company DHL for the newly built office property Norra Brunnsviken in Solna. The lease runs for five years and comprises approximately 7,400 sq.m., corresponding to twothirds of the property. The tenants moved in during the first quarter of 2004.

The Group’s changed return target is 10–15% over a business cycle. Earnings per share for 2003 amounted to SEK 7. In the fourth quarter, net debt could be decreased by SEK 1,400m due to the improved cash flow. SUMMARY OF THE GROUP MARKET AND SALES CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT JM’s net sales decreased in 2003, mainly due to a lower number of housing starts in the first nine months of the year. However, the housing market in Stockholm, which is important to JM, stabilised in the second half of the year, after the previously reported period of reduced demand. The improved market, a broader product range which includes homes in lower price bands, and intensified sales efforts, contributed to a substantial increase in the number of sold residential units in the form of signed contracts of 27% during the year to 3,189 (2,511). The good sales during the fourth quarter, combined with a stable reservation rate, allowed JM to start production of a large number of residential units during the fourth quarter. This had a positive impact on both net sales and cash flow. The negative earnings trend for JM Residential Stockholm could thus be broken. Despite the substantially increased sales of homes, earnings for the full year 2003 were lower than in 2002, which was mainly due to low margins in older ongoing residential projects in Stockholm. At the same time, revenue recognition is conservative for newly started projects. Earnings were also reduced by the lower sales. The earnings trend for JM’s other operations was stable, although earnings in Norway declined compared with the previous year due to a lower average revenue level for residential units sold during the year. SEKm 2003 2002 2001 Net sales 7,787 8,872 8,642 –7,152 –7,960 –7,022 IMPROVED CONTROL AND OVERSIGHT During 2003, JM introduced a new structure for stricter control and project oversight routines, particularly for newly started residential projects in the Group. This involved extensive work throughout 2003 which is now essentially completed. This also led to postponement of production starts to the latter part of the year. Our efforts to increase internal efficiency and reduce costs continue to have high priority. LOWER NET DEBT The Group’s return on equity for 2003 amounted to 6%. Over the past five calendar years, the average return has Costs for production and management Gross profit 635 912 1,620 –505 –527 –545 Gains on the sale of properties 411 523 928 Property write-downs –63 –256 – 39 1,964 Selling and administrative expenses Operating profit 478 652 Net financial items –211 –284 –335 Tax on profit for the year –80 –115 – 485 Net profit for the year 187 253 1,144 NEW CONTROL AND PROJECT OVERSIGHT ROUTINES In 2003 a large number of measures were adopted to improve control and governance of JM’s operations. Decisions on starting-up and overall design of projects are now always made in business unit management or group management, or, for major projects, by the Board. The assignments of external auditors have been widened. New and formalised monitoring routines have been introduced with a special focus on large projects. The business area and regional managers submit quarterly reports to the President, Vice President and CFO. Assessment data includes the financial history of the project, future anticipated revenues and expenses and the sales and reservations situation. Selected major projects are subject to a more in-depth examination by auditors and are reported to JM’s Audit Committee on a regular basis. Special oversight groups have also been set up for the very largest projects. Project oversight routines have been tightened up considerably. This applies in particular to the JM Residential Stockholm business unit and JM Production, including well-documented reviews that are carried out in conjunction with pre-construction and production start. A special project inspection group has also reviewed all projects within JM Residential Stockholm where production started during 2003 in order to quality assure the transfer to the new project oversight routines. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 B O A R D O F D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O RT During 2003 major work was carried out to develop a groupwide pre-construction process designed to achieve greater efficiency and lower costs while retaining high quality and high customer values. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT In line with the aim of further streamlining operations towards residential project development, the strategy for the Group’s market orientation, product range, geographical spread, building rights portfolio and holding of investment properties has been sharpened. JM will increase its customer and market orientation. Customer satisfaction will be further increased and the service content of JM’s business will be further developed. The product range is being broadened both as regards type of homes and homes in lower price bands without renouncing quality homes in attractive locations. Geographically, the focus will continue to be to operate in growth markets and for expansion to mainly take place in the Nordic countries. The Group’s investment properties will entirely comprise properties intended for project development and will as far as possible consist of residential properties. Project development of commercial properties will be limited and primarily support residential development. UPDATED FINANCIAL TARGETS JM’s margin target has been restated from the earlier project development margin of 10% by 2005 to an operating margin of 10%. The new margin target includes profit from property sales, operating net and group-wide expenses. The changeover to a new margin target is a natural consequence of the completed extensive sales of the older property portfolio where the Group’s income statement and balance sheet can now entirely be seen as attributable to project operations. Housing starts will take place in pace with secured demand and quality assured pre-construction and production planning. The profitability target for return on equity after tax has been changed to 10–15% over a business cycle from the previous five-year weighted average of 15%. The targets for a dividend share of 50% of net profit and an equity ratio of 35% over a business cycle remain unchanged. 47 MARKET TRENDS STOCKHOLM – RESIDENTIAL House prices stabilised in the second half of the year, in both the second-hand market and in JM’s projects. Demand for JM’s homes is good in both ongoing and new projects. A slightly sluggish trend can still be noted for sales of larger, more expensive homes. STOCKHOLM – COMMERCIAL The Stockholm property market is characterised by continued falls in rental levels and high vacancies. The greatest impact of this is on older office premises. Demand and rental levels in newly developed, space-efficient offices in locations with good communications are relatively good. REST OF SWEDEN – RESIDENTIAL Market prices remain stable. Demand is favourable in JM’s ongoing projects and interest in newly started projects is substantial. Demand and prices depend entirely, however, on the attractiveness and location of individual projects. Sales processes for large homes in Gothenburg are more drawn out than previously. INTERNATIONAL Demand for homes in Norway was weaker in the first half of the year, but this trend then reversed due to an improved business climate and falling interest rates. A more stable employment situation and interest rates at an historically low level contributed to increased interest in JM’s projects during the second half. Sales of large homes in Oslo were somewhat slow. In Denmark, the housing market in Copenhagen was characterised by stable demand and unchanged prices during the year. The introduction of interest-only loans helped to stimulate demand. In Belgium, JM is experiencing continued high demand for both functional offices and high-standard homes in attractive locations. The limited number of new homes and low interest rates mean that prices continue to rise in most municipalities. NET SALES The JM Group’s net sales in 2003 amounted to SEK 7,787m (8,872), a decrease of 12% compared with the previous year. The lower net sales were mainly attributable to a lower number of housing starts in Sweden and reduced external j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 48 B O A R D O F D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O RT contract work for JM Production. A lower average revenue level for residential development also reduced net sales. The lower number of housing starts in the Swedish operations is mainly attributable to the JM Residential Stockholm business unit, where net sales decreased by 11%. The JM Residential Sweden business unit reported more stable development. Net sales decreased by 5%. Net sales in the JM Production business unit fell sharply. This reduction was planned and is due to the lower proportion of external contract work. In the JM Commercial business unit net sales decreased considerably due to continued sales of the property portfolio. JM International showed an increase in net sales of 10%. Weaker volume development in Norway was balanced by higher net sales in both Denmark and Belgium. JM International’s operating profit decreased to SEK 72m (90). This less favourable result is due to a lower average revenue level for homes sold in Norway during the year as well as low margins in Denmark.

This result includes gains from property sales of SEK 411m (523). The JM Residential Stockholm business unit’s operating loss was SEK 22m (–160). This negative result was mainly due to a lower number of production starts, but was also due to weak earnings in a number of ongoing projects. More conservative revenue assessment in early phases of ongoing projects, re-planning costs and increased marketing and sales efforts also contributed to the negative earnings. The JM Residential Sweden business unit reported an operating profit of SEK 98m (180). This lower result was partly attributable to more sluggish sales of large residential units in Gothenburg. The JM Production business unit’s operating profit amounted to SEK 34m (–27). Phasing out of unprofitable units and the sale of non-strategic operations contributed to an improved margin. The negative result in 2002 was attributable to a provision for risk of loss in one major project. This provision for risk of loss was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2003 with no earnings impact, following settlement of an outstanding dispute. JM Commercial’s operating profit amounted to SEK 358m (634), of which SEK 374m (513) was attributable to gains from property sales. The lower earnings for the business unit, adjusted for property sales, are attributable to lower volumes due to the continued sale of the property portfolio.

In conjunction with the receipt of proceeds from property sales, loans of approximately SEK 1,000m were redeemed in the first quarter of 2003 which led to costs of SEK 30m for early redemption. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 B O A R D O F D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O RT 49 Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 267m (368), a decline of 27% compared with 2002. with external consultants, of JM’s development properties with a book value of SEK 3.6 billion (3.9) indicate a surplus value of approximately SEK 1,400m (1,400). PROFIT AFTER TAX ORDER SITUATION Profit after tax amounted to SEK 187m (253). The total tax expense amounted to SEK 80m (115), of which current tax SEK –84m (–228) and deferred tax SEK 4m (113). Property tax, which is treated as an operating expense, was charged against earnings in the amount of SEK 25m (44). The order backlog at year-end amounted to SEK 5,685m (5,925) and mainly pertained to residential production. Order bookings in 2003 amounted to SEK 7,145m (6,690). The JM Residential Stockholm and JM Residential Sweden business units report lower order bookings, while JM International is showing a significant increase. PROFIT AFTER FINANCIAL ITEMS PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Project development of housing and commercial premises is JM’s core business. Undeveloped and developed land is acquired and transformed through construction, conversion or extension into attractive living and working environments. Profit from project development amounted to SEK 182m (459). The margin in these operations amounted to 2.4% (5.4) for 2003. Project-related property sales and write-downs made a net contribution of SEK 45m (232). The number of sold residential units in the form of signed contracts during the year rose sharply to 3,189 (2,511). The improvement was attributable to a stabilised market, broader product range and increased marketing efforts. The good sales in the fourth quarter, combined with a stable reservations rate, allowed a large number of housing starts in the fourth quarter. The number of housing starts for the full year totalled 2,714 (2,711). The number of unsold residential units six months after final inspection fell in the fourth quarter. The segment for large homes in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Oslo remains the part of the market with the weakest demand. Both production starts and sales volumes can vary over time depending on the dates of project starts and the size of individual projects. Despite increased sales, JM is retaining its higher requirements on the proportion of reserved residential units prior to production starts. In addition to delays due to re-planning, the higher reservation requirements reduced the number of housing starts in the first nine months of the year. The high sales in relation to the number of housing starts means that the level of risk for JM decreased during 2003. Commercial project development continues to be conducted with considerable caution. The building rights portfolio comprises approximately 23,400 residential units which can be compared with just over 25,500 at year-end 2002. Valuations, in co-operation INVESTMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES Total acquisitions of development properties in 2003 amounted to SEK 664m (629). Net investments in development properties amounted to SEK –163m (–49). The portfolio then amounted to SEK 3,631m (3,871). These holdings are a prerequisite for JM’s residential project development. INVESTMENTS IN INVESTMENT PROPERTIES Investments in and acquisitions of investment properties amounted to SEK 1,772m (645). Investments in existing investment properties totalled SEK 350m (483). In addition, residential properties were acquired for SEK 1,422m. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT Investments in machinery and equipment amounted to SEK 18m (35). BUILDING RIGHTS PORTFOLIO At year-end 2003, JM had access to a total of approximately 23,400 residential building rights (25,500), broken down as follows: NUMBER OF BUILDING RIGHTS JM Residential Stockholm 2003 2002 10,300 11,500 JM Residential Sweden 7,400 8,400 JM International 5,700 5,650 23,400 25,550 Total (approximately) Of the 23,400 building rights, approximately 16,000 are booked as an asset in the balance sheet. 7,400 building rights are available under agreements and are not booked as assets.

During the past year, the book value of the portfolio of fully developed commercial properties decreased from SEK 2,109m to SEK 515m. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES JM’s portfolio of investment properties amounts to approximately SEK 2,800m, mostly comprising residential properties for further development and office projects under construction. Fully developed properties only account for a small portion. The operating net from investment properties amounted to SEK 109m (293) in 2003. The lower operating net is due to major property sales in 2003 and 2002, which were carried out in line with the Group’s strategy to sell fully developed properties. In 2003 properties were sold for SEK 2,219m (3,015) with capital gains of SEK 411m (523), of which SEK 108m (473) is included in profit from project development. Write-downs of investment properties were made with SEK 63m (34). Investments in existing investment properties amounted to SEK 350m (483). In addition, residential properties were acquired for SEK 1,422m. The property market for commercial premises in Stockholm is characterised by a continued fall in rental levels and vacancies of 15–16%. New and recently renovated premises continued to perform relatively well in comparison. Vacancies in JM’s portfolio of fully developed commercial and residential properties amount to 4% (10) of annual rents and 4% (10) of space. The occupancy rate for the Swedish office projects under construction amounts to approximately 65% of annual rents and 64% of space. The Läraren property in Stockholm was sold for SEK 70m in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the year, JM sold the Svärdet properties in Mörby for SEK 931m and at the same time acquired 2,100 residential units in Nacka and Vaxholm for SEK 1,422m. Other major property deals during the year included the sale of the newly developed hotel property Pennfäktaren 10 on Vasagatan in Stockholm to a Norwegian insurance company for SEK 575m, and the sale of the Pilen 30 property for SEK 180m and of a newly developed office property in central Brussels for SEK 133m. Through a strategic deal comprising residential portfolios in Vaxholm and Nacka, with very low vacancies and therefore secure cash flows, JM acquired an opportunity to develop two attractive property portfolios, among other things through densification with new homes. Many tenants have shown an interest in conversion to tenant-owner co-operatives, which JM also favours. MARKET VALUES OF JM’S INVESTMENT PROPERTIES In an appraisal conducted in co-operation with external consultants, the market value of JM’s portfolio of investment properties at year-end 2003 was estimated at SEK 3,205m (3,478). The corresponding book value amounted to SEK 2,833m (2,774). The surplus value thus amounts to SEK 400m (700). A breakdown of values by category is shown below: SEKm Book value Market value Fully developed properties 515 640 Properties under construction 776 856 Properties for further development 1) 1,542 1,709 Total 2,833 3,205 1) Includes residential properties acquired during the year. FINANCIAL ITEMS INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES At year-end 2003, interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 2,611m (3,665), representing a decrease of just over SEK 1,400m in the fourth quarter. The debt/equity ratio amounted to 0.8 (1.0). Total interest-bearing loans at the end of the period amounted to SEK 2,986m (4,313), of which the PRI liability accounted for SEK 451m (433). At the end of the period the average interest rate for the total loan portfolio was 5.5% (5.7). The average fixed-interest period for the Group’s total loan stock, excluding the PRI liability, was 2.5 years (2.3). CASH FLOW Cash flow from operating activities, which includes acquisitions and sales of properties, amounted to SEK 1,504m (2,161). This decline was mainly due to increased investments in investment properties. Cash flow for the year amounted to SEK –264m (–56). LIQUIDITY The Group’s available liquidity amounted to SEK 3,065m (2,724) at 31 December 2003. Aside from liquid assets of SEK 332m (596), this includes unutilised overdraft facilities and credit lines totalling SEK 2,733m (2,128). j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 B O A R D O F D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O RT OTHER SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Consolidated shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2003 amounted to SEK 3,285m (3,570), divided between restricted equity of SEK 1,796m (1,796) and unrestricted equity of SEK 1,489m (1,774). PERSONNEL The number of employees in the Group at year-end 2003 amounted to 2,368 (2,664). The number of salaried employees was 1,090 (1,187) and the number of wage-earners was 1,278 (1,477). 2,207 (2,250) employees were men and 359 (352) women. The average number of employees during the year was 2,566 (2,602), of whom 293 (301) were employed outside Sweden. Wages, salaries and social security expenses amounted to SEK 1,280m (1,309), of which social security expenses accounted for SEK 390m (403). THE WORK OF THE BOARD IN 2003 CHANGED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 2005 (IFRS1)) During 2003, JM has carried out work to plan the changeover to IFRS where two main areas are mainly relevant to JM: IAS 2) 11 – Construction Contracts – within the framework of the Swedish Construction Federation, preparations have been made in 2003 to define a revenue recognition that meets the criteria according to the industry’s interpretation of IAS 11. The industry has not yet stipulated the new industry recommendation in every detail. The current draft stipulates a 2) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) International Accounting Standards (IAS) conservative revenue recognition that is linked to sold residential units. This will lead to a more conservative revenue reporting than that prescribed by the current industry recommendation. JM plans to change over to the new industry recommendation with effect from 1 January 2005. IAS 19 – Employee Benefits – all the Group’s pension commitments have been examined. The revaluation effect on opening equity for 2004 amounts to SEK –0.7m. The assumptions made regarding discounting, return and salary development are on a par with established practice. SHARE BUY-BACK PROGRAMME The Board of Directors had a mandate from the Annual General Meeting for the repurchase of up to 10% of the number of shares outstanding. Buy-backs for SEK 154m (1.4 million shares) were made at the beginning of 2003. The company has not repurchased own shares under the present mandate since the Annual General Meeting in April 2003. KEY FIGURES At the Annual General Meeting held on 23 April 2003 it was decided that the Board should comprise seven regular Board members as well as two employee representatives with two deputies appointed by the trade unions. The Board held one statutory meeting and ten subsequent meetings. In accordance with its procedures, during 2003 the Board examined especially strategic issues as well as internal control and efficiency. In February 2003 a Compensation Committee and Audit Committee were set up each comprising three members of the Board. During the year the Compensation Committee held four meetings and the Audit Committee held eight meetings. 1) 51 Interest-bearing net debt (SEKm) 2003 2002 2,611 3,665 Debt/equity ratio (times) 0.8 1.0 Interest coverage ratio (times) 2.1 2.1 Equity ratio (visible) (%) 36 34 Pre-tax return on total capital (%) 5.2 5.9 Pre-tax return on capital employed (%) 7.3 7.8 After-tax return on equity (%) 5.5 6.8 Asset turnover rate (times) 0.79 0.75 Earnings per share, after tax (SEK) 6.60 8.50 PARENT COMPANY The Parent Company’s core business is project development of residential and commercial properties.

Operating activities, before interest and tax, contributed SEK 180m (634). This represents a decline of SEK 454m after adjustment of items with no effect on liquid assets, of which gains on the sale of properties of SEK 411m account for a significant portion. Sales of investment properties decreased compared with the previous year. At the same time, the substantial decrease in receivables from property sales (approximately SEK 1,000m) made a positive contribution so the net contribution to cash flow is unchanged compared with 2002. JM has a receivable from property sales of SEK 54m (1,063) which will be paid in 2004. The reduced holding of investment properties also led to a lower contribution to cash flow from rental income. 2003 2002 2,986 –332 – 43 2,611 4,313 –596 –52 3,665 PARENT COMPANY 2003 2002 4,522 –245 –1,210 3,067 5,438 –493 –559 4,386 JM invested in development and investment properties for approximately SEK 3,456m (1,678). The higher level of investment had a negative impact on cash flow of approximately SEK 1,778m compared with 2002. In 2003, the JM Group’s acquisitions included properties in Vaxholm and Älta in conjunction with an exchange deal. Change in current receivables and liabilities had a total positive effect on cash flow of SEK 398m. Cash flow from operating activities was partly used for dividends to shareholders, SEK 281m, and partly for buybacks of own shares with SEK 154m. The short-term loans raised during the year were all amortised on a current basis. During the year cash flows for each quarter fluctuated substantially (see section Quarterly Overview – Group, page 81). During the quarters, JM sold large property portfolios with postponed payment. The net effect, the sales proceeds minus the receivable, for each quarter affected cash flow by approximately SEK 2,191m, SEK 480m, SEK 331m and SEK 83m. Cash flow was affected by buy-backs in the first quarter by SEK 154m and by a dividend of SEK 281m in the second quarter. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 58 S TAT E M E N T O F S H A R E H O L D E R S ’ E Q U I T Y GROUP Shareholders’ equity, 31 December 2001 Transfer of profit for 2001 Buy-backs of own shares Redemption of convertible loan Translation difference Transfer between unrestricted and restricted equity Dividend Net profit for 2002 Shareholders’ equity, 31 December 2002 Transfer of profit for 2002 Buy-backs of own shares Cancellation of repurchased shares Redemption of convertible loan Translation difference Transfer between unrestricted and restricted equity Dividend Net profit for 2003 Shareholders’ equity, 31 December 2003 Share capital 121 – – 0 – – – – 121 – – –9 0 – – – – 112 Restricted reserves 1,701 – – 11 19 –56 – – 1,675 – – – 0 –37 46 – – 1,684 Accumulated translation difference at year-end Unrestricted reserves 857 1,144 –116 – – 56 – 420 – 1,521 253 –154 9 – – – 46 –281 – 1,302 Net profit for the year 1,144 –1,144 – – – – – 253 253 –253 – – – – – – 187 187 Total shareholders’ equity 3,823 – –116 11 19 – –420 253 3,570 – –154 – 0 –37 – –281 187 3,285 –17 JM AB has a loan in NOK of NOK 85m.The loan is an indexation for part of the net investment in Byggholt AS, Norway.The currency gain at 31 December 2003 amounted to SEK 15m (–7) and is reported as a translation difference in equity in the Group.

Adaptations have mainly been made in accordance with the Swedish Construction Federation’s industry comments. The accounting and valuation principles for the Group are unchanged compared with the previous year. Changes With effect from 1 January 2003, JM has applied the following new recommendations from the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council: RR 2:02 Inventories, RR 22 Presentation of Financial Statements, RR 25 Segment Reporting, RR 27 Financial Instruments. Application of the new recommendations did not affect the company’s income statements and balance sheets. With regard to RR 25 Segment Reporting, JM’s accounts in essential details already conformed with the new recommendation. Reporting according to the new recommendation is shown in Notes 1 and 2 in the Notes to the financial statements. New recommendations 2004 With effect from 1 January 2004, JM will apply RR 29, Employee Benefits. Application of RR 29 means that defined benefit pension plans within all the Group’s companies will be reported according to common principles. In JM’s accounts until year-end 2003, such plans are reported according to local rules and regulations in each country. In accordance with the interim rules for the recommendation, an opening liability will be determined as per 1 January 2004 in accordance with RR 29.This opening liability is expected to exceed the liability reported at 31 December 2003, in accordance with the earlier principles, by SEK 1.0m.The excess liability figure will then be reported as per 1 January 2004 as an increase in provisions for pensions as well as a corresponding decrease in shareholders’ equity. In accordance with the interim rules for the recommendation,JM will not restate earlier financial years in accordance with the new recommendation. Consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council recommendation RR 1:00. The consolidated financial statements include those companies in which the Parent Company owns more than 50% of the voting rights directly or indirectly,or otherwise has a controlling interest. The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to the purchase accounting method, whereby consolidated shareholders’ equity only includes the portion of subsidiaries’ equity that arose after the acquisition. If the consolidated cost of the shares exceeds the market value of subsidiaries’ net assets stated in the acquisition analysis, the difference is reported as consolidated goodwill. 59 Companies acquired during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements in an amount proportionate to the period after the acquisition. Profit from companies sold during the year is included in the consolidated income statement until the date of sale. Foreign subsidiaries are regarded as operating as independent units and their accounts have therefore been translated according to the current method, whereby all assets, provisions and other liabilities are translated at the closing day rate and all items in the income statement are translated at the average rate during the year.Translation differences thus arising are transferred directly to shareholders’ equity. In the event that hedging has been effected to balance and hedge against exchange rate differences on a net investment in an independent subsidiary, the exchange rate difference arising from translation of the hedging instrument is transferred directly to shareholders’ equity. In the event of different valuations of assets and liabilities at Group and company level a tax effect arises which is reported as a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability. See also the section on reporting income taxes. Intra-group profits are eliminated in full. Intra-group invoicing that is included in the cost of investment properties is included in net sales and amounts to SEK 51m for 2003. Joint ventures Companies and other types of joint ventures that are formed in order to carry out specific contracting assignments in collaboration with other companies are included in the accounts according to the proportional method. JM’s holding of associated companies is negligible. Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency are valued at the closing day rate. Financial instruments Interest rate swaps are used to change the underlying financial liabilities’ interest rate structure in order to minimise risk and are reported as a hedge of the same. Amounts to be paid or received as a result of derivative contracts entered into are reported on a current basis as interest income or interest expense. Until the payment date, changes in market values are not reported in the balance sheet. JM’s financial instruments that are reported in the balance sheet are held until maturity and include securities, receivables and operating liabilities. They are measured and booked at amortised cost. Percentage of completion method The percentage of completion method is based on the view that an assignment is carried out in pace with completion of the j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 60 A C C O U N T I N G A N D V A L U AT I O N P R I N C I P L E S respective project. Revenue and profit in the project are reported period by period, in pace with recognition, providing a direct link between financial reporting and the operations conducted during the period. Revaluations (changes in forecasts) of anticipated project revenues lead to adjustment of previously recognised revenue in the project concerned.This adjustment is included in the net profit for the period. Anticipated losses are charged to the profit for the period in full. The “first krona principle” is applied,whereby revenue recognition is carried out according to the percentage of completion method already at the preliminary stage of the project and continues according to the same principle until the project is completed. The percentage of completion method is also applied in the Parent Company. Most of JM’s operations pertain to projects conducted by JM for subsequent sale. These operations consist of projects on JM’s own land for production of housing to be sold as apartments to tenant-owner co-operatives or tracts of single-family homes for sale directly to consumers. However, revenue recognition from JM’s own projects for future sale must meet the following two basic criteria with regard to reliability: • Declarations or preliminary agreements must exist to such an extent that the building contractor, based on reliable experience, can assume that the full provision of the end product (the future residential units) is secured. • The building contractor’s decisions regarding the technical and financial framework, timetable and operating organisation for implementation of the project shall meet the specifications made when the client-principal relationship was formalised through the transfer of land and signing of a contracting agreement. In residential project development the development property is normally owned by JM at the start of the project. When production starts the property is transferred by book value to the project and included with the project’s other production costs.The cost charged for the property therefore affects the recognised project revenue at that time. Interest expenses are included among production costs from the start of production. Revenue recognition, sale of properties Income from the sale of properties is normally recognised as revenue when the purchase contract is signed. This assumes that the seller does not have to carry out any essential action according to the purchase contract and that the risk of cancellation is not considered to exist. Reporting of every property sale is examined individually. Investment properties (Properties held for resale) JM’s investment properties are classified as current assets and valued in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendation RR 2:02 Inventories.Starting in the first quarter of 2004, these properties will be designated as properties held for resale and called project properties. In line with JM’s focus on project development, the Group’s investment properties are classified based on project status as follows: • Fully developed properties • Properties under construction • Properties for further development Fully developed properties refer to properties fully developed by JM and properties to be sold without further development. During the period until sale, the properties are managed by JM and operating profit is reported as profit from property management. Properties under construction are properties undergoing new construction, extension or renovation into fully developed properties. Operating profit from rental activities during the renovation or extension period is reported as profit from property management. Properties for further development are properties that are currently rented and where plans for further development are in progress. Operating profit here is also reported as profit from property management. Production costs for JM’s fully developed properties include both direct costs and a reasonable share of indirect costs. Interest expenses pertaining to production to be held for property management purposes are expensed in the Parent Company. In the consolidated financial statements, a corresponding amount is added to the cost of investment properties. Development properties Properties, undeveloped or developed, that are intended for production of tenant-owned apartments/owned apartments or single-family homes and land for investment properties are reported as development properties. The properties are normally sold immediately after production. Operating profit from development properties is reported as profit from project development operations. Interest is not included in the cost of development properties. Write-downs If on the balance sheet date there is any indication that a tangible or intangible fixed asset has impaired in value a calculation is performed of the recoverable value of the asset.If the estimated recoverable value is lower than the carrying amount, a writedown is made of the asset’s recoverable value. A write-down is reversed when the basis for the write-down, wholly or partly, no longer exists. The term write-down is also used in conjunction with revaluation of properties reported as current assets. Valuation of these properties is performed, however, according to the lower j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 A C C O U N T I N G A N D V A L U AT I O N P R I N C I P L E S of cost and market principle and follows RR 2:02, Inventories. Provisions Provisions are reported when JM has or is considered to have a commitment as a result of events that have occurred and where it is probable that payments will be required in order to meet the commitment.A further prerequisite is that it is possible to make a reliable estimation of the amount to be paid. Provisions are made for future costs on the basis of guarantee commitments. This calculation is based on the estimated costs for the project concerned. Pensions The greater part of the JM Group’s pension commitments (Sweden and Norway) comprise defined benefit pension plans. For these plans a provision and annual cost are calculated on the basis of the present value of earned future benefits. Provisions and annual costs attributable to defined benefit pension benefits are reported in JM’s income statements and balance sheets applying local rules and regulations in the country concerned. In some of JM’s subsidiaries pension commitments comprise defined contribution pension plans where payments are made on a regular basis to independent authorities or bodies that administer the plan. For these defined contribution plans, a running pension cost is reported which matches the amounts paid. Goodwill Goodwill on the acquisition of Byggholt AS (1998) and AS Prosjektfinans (1999) in Norway is being amortised over 10 years. The amortisation period is motivated by the strategic and longterm nature of the acquisition and the reputation of these companies in the Norwegian market. Machinery and equipment The following depreciation rates are applied: Construction machinery Computers and other equipment Vehicles 10% 20–33% 20% Leasing The Group has leasing agreements pertaining to office equipment and company cars.These are reported as operating leases. The leasing agreements are of a limited scope. Mergers Mergers of wholly owned group companies are reported according to the consolidated value method, whereby all assets and liabilities are taken over at values based on the acquisition analysis carried out in connection with the original acquisition of the company in question.The merger difference is taken directly to shareholders’ equity. Mergers are reported in accordance with general advice from the Swedish Accounting Standards Board. 61 Group contributions Group contributions paid and received in the Parent Company are reported according to the pronouncement made by the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s Emerging Issues task force, whereby Group contributions paid and received to minimise the Group’s tax are reported as a decrease/increase in unrestricted equity. Tax The Tax item in the income statement includes current and deferred income tax for Swedish and foreign group units. The companies in the Group are liable for tax according to existing legislation in each country.The state income tax rate in Sweden was 28% during the year and is calculated on nominal book profit with an addition for non-deductible items and a deduction for non-taxable income and other deductions, primarily tax-free dividends from subsidiaries.The balance sheet method is applied to accounting for income taxes. According to this method deferred tax liabilities and assets are reported for all temporary differences between book and fiscal values respectively for assets and liabilities and for other fiscal deductions or deficits. Deferred tax liabilities and tax assets are calculated on the basis of the anticipated tax rate when the temporary difference is cancelled.The effects of changes in applicable tax rates are taken to income in the period the change becomes law. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve to the extent the company cannot stipulate that it is probable that the underlying tax asset can be realised within the foreseeable future. Cash flow statement The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendation RR 7, Accounting for cash flows.The analysis has been adapted to JM’s operations. Since buying and selling of investment and development properties are part of JM’s ongoing activities,these are reported under the corresponding sections of the cash flow statement. The item “reversal of investment properties” mainly refers to utilisation of properties for production and is matched by a cash flow in the form of invoicing. Investments in and sales of properties are reported gross without adjustment for any assumption or redemption of loans. Buying and selling of fixed assets not pertaining to properties are reported under “Investing activities, other”. Liquid assets are classified as cash and bank balances and short-term financial investments that are traded on the open market at known amounts and are associated with only a marginal risk for value fluctuations. Liquid assets also include shortterm investments with a maturity of less than three months from the acquisition date. The year’s paid tax is reported in full under operating activities. j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 62 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S Amounts in SEKm unless otherwise stated.

A total of 448,507 shares were converted, of which 1,793 in 2003. The remaining convertibles were redeemed on 1 June 2003. In 2001 all employees in Sweden were invited to acquire subscription warrants in the company.The warrant programme comprises a total of 600,000 warrants. A total of 376,000 warrants were subscribed for in 2001 and 2002.The price per warrant was determined based on the Black & Scholes method.The price on the first subscription date was SEK 20. Each warrant carries entitlement to subscribe for one share in the period 3 May 2004 to 30 June 2004 for SEK 271.50.The price for JM’s shares at 31 December 2003 amounted to SEK 106. Outstanding warrants do not give rise to any dilution effect since the present value of the subscription price exceeds the fair value of the shares. The total number of shares after full conversion, but excluding warrants, amounts to 28,065,407 (29,560,488). The average number of shares before dilution for 2003 amounts to 28,311,705 (29,857,486).The average number of shares after dilution for 2003 amounts to 28,311,705 (29,954,360). Calculation of earnings per share before dilution is based on net profit for the year. In the calculation of earnings per share after dilution, net profit for the year was adjusted by interest expenses for convertible debentures of SEK 169,000 (342,000). j m d e l åj rms raanp np uo ar tl rj ae pn ou ra tr i 2– 0m0a3r s 2 0 0 2 66 NOTE 12 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S INTANGIBLE AND TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Group 2003 Goodwill Other intangible fixed assets Machinery and equipment Other tangible fixed assets Total Accumulated cost Opening balance, 1 January 129 1 167 – 297 New acquisitions 8 – 18 12 38 Reclassifications – –1 12 1 12 –9 – –6 – –15 Translation difference Sales Closing balance, 31 December – – –44 – – 44 128 – 147 13 288 Accumulated planned depreciation Opening balance, 1 January 59 – 108 – 167 Depreciation for the year 14 – 25 1 40 Reclassifications – – 12 Translation difference – – –4 – –4 Sales 12 – – –40 – – 40 Closing balance, 31 December 73 – 101 1 175 Planned residual value, 31 December 55 – 46 12 113 The reported goodwill mainly pertains to goodwill at acquisition of Byggholt AS and AS Prosjektfinans in Norway.

Finance policy The finance policy specifies the objectives for finance operations, overall responsibility and specific rules and limits.The objectives for the finance operations are to: • Support operating activities in residential and commercial project development. • Optimise use of capital and cash flow management. • Control and manage the financial risks to which JM is exposed. Financial instruments and financial risk management The nominal amount for outstanding interest rate swaps amounts to SEK 1,400m (1,100). At 31 December 2003 fixed interest rates varied between 3.18% and 5.84% (5.1% and 6%).The short rate is 2.9%. JM AB has a loan in NOK of SEK 85m.The loan is an indexation for part of the net investment in Byggholt AS, Norway The exchange gain at 31 December 2003 amounted to SEK 15m (–7) and is reported as a translation difference in equity in the Group.The Group has not effected any other currency hedging for balance sheet exposure. Furthermore, JM has no transaction exposure since operations are only conducted within the respective country. Valuation of financial assets and liabilities JM used generally accepted methods for calculating the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments as of 31 December 2003 and 2002.The fair value of interestbearing liabilities to credit institutions is assumed to correspond to the book value since they mainly have a short fixed-term of less than three months. For all other financial assets and liabilities, e.g. liquid assets, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the book value is assumed to provide a good approximation of the fair value. NOTE 26 PROGRESS BILLINGS IN EXCESS OF RECOGNISED REVENUE 2003 Group 2002 Parent Company 2003 2002 Accumulated billing on account for work in progress 10,265 6,918 9,722 6,812 –9,350 –6,117 –8,860 – 6,045 915 801 862 767 The Group’s financial risks primarily consist of interest rate risk, financing risk, liquidity risk and, to a limited extent, currency risk.The choice of maturities and fixed interest spread is governed by several factors, such as capital tied up in ongoing projects, business risk, anticipated dates for sale of properties, the terms of leases in investment properties and the Group’s financial position in general.These factors are summarised in the Board’s established guidelines for fixed interest spread and maturity structure with scope for deviations within certain limits based on the current market situation.There are also rules for handling interest rate risk in building loans during the construction period and final financing of tenant-owner co-operatives. Recognised revenue in work in progress Cash is kept at a low level and any surplus liquidity may only be invested in banks defined by JM and in Swedish fixed-income securities without currency risk. Payment preparedness is maintained through overdraft facilities and committed credit lines. Maturity less than 1 year from closing day Total NOTE 27 OTHER LIABILITIES Group Currency risk is eliminated as far as possible for transaction and balance sheet exposure. Maturity 1–5 years from closing day Derivative instruments may only be used in order to minimise risks. Convertible debenture loan Finance strategy JM’s basic finance strategy is to clearly link cash flows from projects in progress and investment properties to the company’s management of borrowing and interest rate risks.This strategy provides the best control of financial risks.

In order to maintain flexible administration and cost-effective debt management, existing loan agreements are guaranteed by JM’s excellent creditworthiness, which means that no mortgage deeds are provided.

Guarantee commitments, other relate entirely to this shortterm financing.The long-term loans are secured by the mortgage deeds taken out by the co-operative itself. 1) 4) The Parent Company and the Group also have guarantee commitments for longterm management contracts in the form of payment and rental guarantees. The Group also has obligations to acquire unsold participations in tenant-owner cooperatives formed by JM. See Note 16 Participations in tenant-owner co-operatives and similar. A tenant-owner co-operative’s only revenue is its monthly charges. In order to ensure that the estimated monthly charges are received by the co-operative, JM provides a 7-year guarantee. The guarantee comprises an undertaking to buy such apartment which is returned to the co-operative from the first owner. JM then buys the apartment for SEK 1 and then pays the monthly charge to the co-operative until JM in its turn has sold the apartment.This guarantee has existed since 1993 and has never been utilised. JM considers it unlikely that the guarantee will need to be met in other than exceptional cases. The Parent Company has a recourse agreement against AB Bostadsgaranti regarding their investment guarantee for paid contributions and charges for grant of enjoyment.The guarantee primarily ensures that the co-operative can repay a reasonable amount (maximum contribution and charges) to the tenant-owner who has a right of termination due to significant increases in charges during the first year after final accounts, subsequently Bostadsgaranti has no liability to pay anything. Bostadsgaranti has not paid out anything since 1962.

NOTE 33 The result of variable compensation for the 2003 financial year amounts to SEK 180,000, which will be paid in spring 2004. The variable compensation for the 2004 financial year may be paid in an amount within the band SEK 0 to a maximum of SEK 1,200,000.

NO. 556045-2103 We have examined the annual accounts, the consolidated financial statements, the accounting records and the administration by the Board of Directors and the President of JM AB (publ) for the year 2003. These accounts and the administration of the Company are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the President. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual accounts, the consolidated financial statements and the administration based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual accounts and the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and their application by the Board of Directors and the President, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of information in the annual report and consolidated financial statements. As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the Company in order to determine the liability, if any, to the Company of any Board member or the President. We also examined whether any Board member of the President has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Swedish Companies Act, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion set out below. The annual accounts and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, thereby, give a true and fair view of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden. We recommend to the Annual General Meeting that the income statement and the balance sheet of the Parent Company and the Group be adopted, that the profit for the Parent Company be dealt with in accordance with the proposal in the Board of Directors’ Report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the President be discharged from liability for the financial year. stockholm, 16
