4 Chief Executive's Review Heading towards new challenges According to the bottom line, 2006 was a good year for CMP. Financial performance improved yet again, and profits are satisfactory. The company is making fine progress, and has healthy and robust finances. New customers were won, and existing customers increased their activities. All of CMP s business areas exploited the positive economic climate and achieved higher net sales and improved profits. A tight rein was kept on costs. The status for 2006 is that CMP increased annual profit, net sales and volumes for the sixth year in a row, helping us reach the ambitious targets set in our business plan On the basis of the 2005 level, we will increase CMP s sales and profits by 50% by the end of 2010! Unfortunately, a new IT system was not phased in as smoothly as planned in However, we are now overcoming these problems, and we expect the advantages will soon overshadow the initial difficulties. The new IT system, which covers all business areas, will help to rationalise daily operations and achieve focused specialisation, to the benefit of our customers. It is still important to lower our costs and become more competitive could be a landmark year for CMP. In 2006, we discussed with the port owners, the City of Malmö and Port of Copenhagen A/S, how the dynamic development of the commercial port can be maintained in both cities. Modern port operations require strategic planning that will guarantee that the necessary infrastructure and long-term expansion opportunities are in place. These strategic discussions have resulted in plans for new investments. We expect decisions on these investments to be made in The investments will be in new cruise-ship quays and new bulk areas in Copenhagen, as well as a ferry terminal, combi-terminal and new container terminal in Malmö. In the slightly longer term, a new container and car terminal will be added in Copenhagen, and a logistics park in Malmö. The new terminals provide the opportunity to install state-ofthe-art facilities and pre-empt environmental issues in a forward-looking manner. The terminals should also be seen in context of urban development, which tends to be concentrated around the waterfront in both Copenhagen and Malmö. The new terminals will go hand in hand with intensive efforts to cultivate new business opportunities and will serve as a springboard for growth, which will be achieved in collaboration with current and future customers. We will lift more containers over quays, be the destination for new ferry routes, the hub for more distribution and the home port for more cruise ships, and we will process more dry and liquid bulk. The most important aspect of the new terminals is the business opportunities they open up. The terminals can be used to generate new value for the transport and logistics industry in our part of the world. Business development over the next few years will support our strategic objectives. CMP is and must remain the central port in the Øresund Region, but we will also increasingly exploit our international potential. CMP already serves as a hub for car imports in the Baltic Sea Region, and also enjoys a strong position as far as ferries, cruises and transit oil are concerned, but we must further develop our major business potential in the Nordic Region, the Baltic States and Russia. Since CMP was founded in 2001, our employees have shown that they are able to make the kind of difference needed to exploit these opportunities. Copenhagen, March 2007 Lars Karlsson Managing Director Next year, we will process half a million cars, even though previous calculations were made on the basis that we would not reach that level until the end of It will be interesting to see how the international automobile industry decides to cover the rapidly expanding Russian market in the future. Those decisions will directly impact our growth opportunities, but CMP will be a significant player in car distribution in the Baltic Sea Region under any circumstances. CMP s other business areas also look forward to 2007 with optimism. The ro-ro capacity on the Sweden Germany route will be expanded substantially, and the market demands greater capacity will be a healthy year for cruises, with 295 ships booked to call at CMP. volumes will hopefully continue its extraordinary rapid growth enjoyed in The amount of building activity in the Øresund Region will probably continue to influence bulk volumes. On the other hand, volumes of oil and transit oil in particular are more difficult to predict, but investment in the terminals means that the framework for growth is in place. 4 a n n u a l r e p o r t a n n u a l r e p o r t

5 F i n a n c i a l p e r f o r m a n c e c a r g o v o l u m e s Increased turnover impacts upon the bottom line Economic trends favoured CMP and a tight rein was kept on expenses Progress in all business areas Cargo volumes sales rose by 1.4 million tonnes or some 10% in 2006 CMP made a profit of SEK 93 million in 2006, an increase of 16% compared with the previous year. Net sales rose by 8% to SEK 649 million. The result is satisfactory and better than expected. Financial performance closely reflected positive economic trends in Denmark and Sweden. Increased Key data for Copenhagen Malmö Port globalisation and changed patterns of distribution also had a positive impact on CMP s position in the Øresund Region. The profit also reflects tight cost control. The favourable economic trend of recent years is expected to continue in CMP will continue to focus on turning growth in cargo volumes and Net sales (SEK millions) Profit after financial items (SEK millions) Net profit (SEK millions) Equity (adjusted) (SEK millions) Balance sheet total (SEK millions) Net margin (%) (profit after financial items/net sales) Solidity (adjusted) (%) Profit/equity ratio (%) Net sales per employee (SEK 1,000) 1,081 1,151 1,184 1,302 1,378 Number of employees net sales into improved financial performance, and expects that revenues and profit will continue to grow over the coming years. Profit after financial items (SEK millions) More freight passed through the port in 2006, and the number of cruise-ship passengers continues to rise. The number of cars increased again, continuing the growth of recent years. An increase of 28% was registered, corresponding to a total of 440,000 new vehicles over the quays or on the rails. The number has risen from a base of 40,000 vehicles in CMP s first year, Nordö-Link's ferry traffic to Germany grew by 15% in 2006, a strong showing in an intensely competitive market. Nordö-Link's tonnage will be replaced in 2007 and the capacity will be significantly increased. traffic rose by 13% the high growth was evident at the terminal in Copenhagen, as well as at the smaller terminal in Malmö. The number of cruise-ship passengers rose by 7% in 2006 to 458,000, and has now increased by 130% over the last five years. CMP accounts for more than half of all turnarounds in the Baltic Region. Passenger traffic was stable compared with the previous year, apart from the closure of the Malmö Copenhagen route. The bulk sector performed unusually well, in that almost all groups of products made progress. Major building activity in the Øresund Region accounted for rising volumes of cement, stone and gravel. Oil volumes remained more or less the CMP net sales same as the previous year. The total was divided almost 50/50 between the terminals in Copenhagen and Malmö. Particular growth is expected in cruise ships, cars, containers and ferry traffic in Mill. tonnes Total net sales, freight Of which: Liquid bulk Dry bulk Other cargo CMP net sales by business area 2006 SEK mill. 14% Passengers and cruise ships % Ro-ro and logistics % s % Cars % Liquid bulk and dry bulk % Other cargo 55.4 Total a n n u a l r e p o r t a n n u a l r e p o r t

6 b u s i n e s s a r e a s b u s i n e s s a r e a s Status and perspectives Cruise ships Passenger traffic Cars Status 2006 It was a good year for cruise ships, with a rise in passenger numbers of 7%. World Travel Awards named Copenhagen 'Europe s Leading Cruise Destination' for the third year in a row. In March 2006, 'Dream World Cruise Destination' voted Copenhagen the 'Best Destination Experience Independent Sightseeing'. Business plan is set to be another big year for cruise ships, with 295 ships already booked to call at CMP, corresponding to 480,000 passengers. CMP aims to reach 600,000 passengers by the end of The Baltic Region accounts for 4 5% of the global market and opportunities for increasing the share are considered good. Necessary preconditions for this include port facilities, especially for turnarounds, that will allow three big ships to change passengers on the same day, not to mention cruise ships in transit. CMP currently has over half of the turnarounds in the Baltic Region. Passengers (thousands)* Tonnage (millions of gross tonnes) *These figures include arriving passengers as well as new boarding passengers. Status 2006 The number of passengers fell by 7%. The Malmö Copenhagen route closed in 2005, which dragged passenger numbers down by 100,000, while the other two routes increased their numbers. The business area comprises the Copenhagen Oslo and Copenhagen Swinoujscie routes. Business plan Passenger traffic faces heavy competition from other destinations and means of travel. It would be an achievement in itself to retain the present market share. The market is well covered with ferry routes, but new traffic opportunities may arise, e.g. in the wake of EU enlargement to the east. There is also an international tendency for cargo routes to develop into combined cargo and passenger routes. CMP will encourage shipping companies to establish new east west passenger routes in the Baltic Sea. Moving current ferry traffic to Norra Hamnen in Malmö will provide good opportunities to install facilities for new routes. Passengers (millions) Status 2006 The high rate of growth enjoyed in recent years continues. The number of vehicles to pass through the quays and by rail increased by a total of 28% was the first whole working year for Skandia-Transport and Nordisk Motortransport, both of whom have set up their own terminals in CMP. Citroën, Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Suzuki are new CMP customers on the Swedish car market. Nissan (Denmark) has returned to Copenhagen following a brief period at another port. Business plan CMP aims to maintain and expand its position as the biggest port in the Nordic Region for car imports. Major growth opportunities are associated with the trans-shipment market to Russia and the Baltic States. CMP is continually expanding its car terminals, as loading and unloading areas are one of several key factors affecting new and existing customers' growth opportunities. As a hub, CMP is the point of departure for a large number of weekly calls by car carriers, and so several major new car brands are expected to pass through during the next few years. The frequency forms the basis for low unit prices. New cars by ship and rail (thousands) By ship By rail Total s Status 2006 The container sector enjoyed unusual volume growth of 13%, continuing the progress of previous years. The pronounced progress in 2006 was due to increased imports of consumer goods. Railion closed its Copenhagen Århus rail container route, but a large amount of traffic moved to ordinary feeder traffic. Part of the year was affected by the introduction of a new IT system in Copenhagen, which unfortunately caused a number of problems and interruption of services. Business plan The growth in volumes together with rationalisation are helping to improve the container terminal's result. The focus is on labour-saving technology in the form of, for example, gate control and planning of individual container positions on the terminal. The business area is due to show satisfactory financial performance by the end of 2010 at the latest, and is expected to succeed. s (thousand TEUs) a n n u a l r e p o r t a n n u a l r e p o r t

7 b u s i n e s s a r e a s b u s i n e s s a r e a s Ro-ro Status 2006 Ferry traffic developed positively. Traffic to Germany, a market in which Rederi AB Nordö-Link is in fierce competition with the other Southern-Sweden ferry routes to and from the Continent, was particularly positive. Business plan Significant growth is expected during the next few years, particularly arising from Rederi AB Nordö-Link s traffic on the Malmö Travemünde route. In 2007, the shipping company will replace all four ferries, deploying two newbuildings and two large refurbished vessels. This will substantially increase capacity, which will be particularly advantageous on the most popular sailings. The traffic will enjoy significantly better conditions when it moves to the new ferry terminal at Norra Hamnen in Malmö. CMP is working on expansion and attracting new ro-ro routes to the Baltic States. Ro-ro (thousands of units) Dry bulk Status 2006 Overall, growth has been good. Building materials increased substantially, while woodchips volumes declined in Malmö and coal volumes rose in Copenhagen. Aalborg Portland started to use a new distribution center at Prøvestenen in Copenhagen, replacing two former plants. The recycling company H.J. Hansen, which is already represented at Prøvestenen in Copenhagen, set up new facilities in Malmö. Business plan There is major activity in the construction industry, and this is expected to continue to have a positive impact on net sales over the next few years. The new bulk areas at Prøvestenen are scheduled to be ready in 2009, and the whole 180,000 m 2 area is expected to be available for lease to both current and new customers. Dry bulk (millions of tonnes) Liquid bulk Status 2006 Net sales were stable in an otherwise turbulent market. The two terminals on each side of the Øresund each processed approximately 3 million tonnes. Regional consumption of oil remained more or less constant, while the transit oil proportion of the turnover was sensitive to economic fluctuations. Business plan The port aims to maintain a throughput of 6 million tonnes, of which about half will consist of transit oil. To achieve this target, CMP will focus in particular on infrastructure, and both terminals are currently being modernised. The fairway of the terminal in Malmö is being widened and a new quay is being built. In Copenhagen, a new pier is being built at Prøvestenen, which will provide greater capacity and efficiency in loading and unloading as well as more stable operational capacity. Transit oil is very easily affected by market fluctuations, but CMP s great strength is operators with large storage capacity on both sides of the Øresund. Liquid bulk (millions of tonnes) Logistics Status 2006 The market for general cargo (conventional goods) is generally falling. On the other hand, more and more groups of products are being transported in containers. CMP has concentrated its warehouse activities on a few major customers with healthy development potential. Business plan CMP is interested in attracting new logistics and distribution customers, who can utilise CMP s services as part of their distribution in the Baltic Sea Region. There is obvious potential in utilising the routes originally established for car distribution for the distribution of other products. 10 a n n u a l r e p o r t a n n u a l r e p o r t

8 I n v e s t m e n t s I n v e s t m e n t s A new port in the making Major investments in quays and a number of new terminals planned In collaboration with the Danish and Swedish port owners, CMP is planning a series of new facilities and terminals. The plans include cruise-ship quays, a ferry terminal and, in the longer term, a logistics park. Two new container terminals and a car terminal will replace existing terminals. A decision about these expansion plans is expected in In the longer term, investments are envisaged to approach SEK 1 billion. Construction of the extensions will take a decade. The first terminals and facilities, new cruise-ship quays and a ferry terminal are expected to be ready by Dry and liquid bulk are covered by a renewal programme. Several of these projects will be completed in 2007, including a new oil pier at Prøvestenen in Copenhagen that will make operations more efficient and stable. The fairway to the oil terminal in Malmö is being extended to improve safety and allow it to service bigger tankers. This joint project is co-funded by the Swedish Maritime Administration. The bulk areas in Copenhagen are currently being significantly extended, and new quays have already been completed. The investments are part of close cooperation with the port owners in Copenhagen and Malmö. CMP pays rent based on the level of investment in quays, magazines, fairways, etc., while CMP itself invests in loading and unloading equipment such as cranes and straddlecarriers. CMP s own investments in 2006 were SEK 30 million and will rise to SEK 61 million in Investments in CMP (SEK millions) CMP's own investments Investments via harbour owners Major investments in Malmö The oil terminal The fairway to the oil terminal widened SEK 60 million The oil terminal Nynäs facilities move to the oil terminal SEK 40 million Freeport Extension of terminals for cars SEK 10 million Copenhagen Prøvestenen New oil pier SEK 15 million Prøvestenen Improved quay facilities for dry bulk SEK 15 million budget 12 a n n u a l r e p o r t a n n u a l r e p o r t

9 N e w t e r m i n a l s i n M a l m ö N e w t e r m i n a l s i n M a l m ö North Harbour terminals First-class facilities will link ships, lorries and trains together Nordö-Link looks forward to relocation There is at present a shortage of space on ferries to Germany, but Nordö-Link is increasing its capacity by 70% this year. Lorry drivers will enjoy better conditions when the ferries move to the North Harbour Managing Director Eje Wilör. If the authorities approve the strategy CMP has drawn up in collaboration with the City of Malmö, the first projects will be a new ferry terminal and the relocation of the container and combi-terminal in Malmö's North Harbour. A logistics park in the North Harbour is also on the drawing board. The plan is to move ro-ro traffic from City to the North Harbour. This will also necessitate relocating the present combi-terminal, which transfers trailers from ferries to the railway, to the North Harbour. The North Harbour provides outstanding opportunities to link ro-ro traffic to the motorway network and the railways, and thereby create the best possible integration between ship, lorry and train. In order to exploit these multimodal opportunities CMP also wants to move the container terminal from the Freeport to the North Harbour. A side-effect of this is that the relocation of the container terminal will leave more space for car terminals in the Freeport. CMP can offer space for distribution activities right beside the new terminals, which will serve as ideal locations for distribution companies. This will offer advantages regardless of whether ongoing distribution is by ship, train or truck. Approximately 700,000 m 2 will be available. It is calculated that moving the ferry terminal will cost SEK 350 million, and moving the container terminal SEK 150 million. Ferry terminal, container and combi-terminal, Malmö Purpose: The plan is to build a new ferry terminal, combi-terminal and container terminal. The overall plan also includes the establishment of a 700,000 m 2 logistics park. The area is ideally situated, offers quays, railway tracks and direct access to the motorway network, and covers a total area of 1.5 million m 2. Location: North Harbour, Malmö Expected start: 2008 Expected completion: 2010 Investment: SEK 500 million (stage 1), of which ferry and combiterminal SEK 350 million and container terminal SEK 150 million. Right now, three things are high on Nordö- Link's wish list: terminal capacity, more capacity and far more capacity for trailers and lorries! 'Getting lorries and trailers on board the ships is not a problem, but finding somewhere for them to wait before boarding is. The lack of parking space is our biggest problem today, but that problem will disappear when we move to the North Harbour,' says Eje Wilör, MD of Rederi AB Nordö-Link, who looks forward to moving the German ferries out of the city. And the sooner the better. 'When that happens, the drivers will no longer have to drive into the city centre, and there will be a very short distance from ship to motorway,' says Eje Wilör, who predicts that the current crowding in the city centre will increase. Nordö-Link will also contribute to the crowding when the total capacity of the ferries is increased by almost 70% during At that point, even more lorries and trailers will pass through the inner city. The largest of the ships have capacity for what corresponds to a fourkilometre line of lorries, and space has to be found for them. The market grows Nordö-Link is replacing all four of its ships with bigger and faster vessels during The first replacement, Finntrader, has capacity for twice the volume of its predecessor. The ferry will be deployed on the busy afternoon sailing from Malmö and return from Travemünde at 02:00. Later in the year, Finntrader will be augmented by two new vessels with even greater capacity. 'It is not only us, but also our competitors, TT and Scandlines, who feel that the market is growing. We are experiencing a boom in transport, largely because the wheels of the German economy have started moving. And the new ships will be an advantage to us in that context, meaning we can grow along with our customers. The new extra capacity that we are building up this year will cover demand for a number of years to come,' says Eje Wilör, who estimates his company's market share of the ferry traffic from Southern Sweden to Germany to be some 50%. More trailers The growth in the market is also shown by the rapid increase in the number of trailers, and that development is partly due to an increasing lack of drivers. A few years ago, 70% of a ship's deck at Nordö was filled with lorries. These days, ferries sail with a trailer for each lorry. Customers who only used to send lorries with the ferries now also send trailers. Nordö-Link has grown rapidly in recent years. One of several reasons for this is their new customer, Lidl, who send goods to a growing number of supermarkets three times a week. 'I don't think we will get the same percentage rises this year and in future, but just half of the growth from 2006 would be great,' says an optimistic Eje Wilör who is looking forward to the four ships operating, and also to official approval for a new ferry terminal in the North Harbour.

There are plans to build 800 metres of new quays on the east side of the North Harbour, which will provide space for three large cruise ships. A further quay extension is also under consideration comprising an additional 1.6 km which can also be used for cruiseship calls. The new cruise-ship quay in Copenhagen provides the opportunity to increase cruise-ship capacity. The extension is needed because the increase in tonnage, which has more than doubled from 2001 to 2006, is expected to grow from 13 million gross tonnes to 18 million gross tonnes by 2010, corresponding to calls by cruise ships with 600,000 passengers. The quay extension will particularly improve CMP s potential as a turnaround port for cruise ships. A third of the cruise ships calling at Copenhagen currently use it as turnaround port, and passengers board for cruises in the Baltic Sea and along the Norwegian coast, Commercial port with container and car terminal Cruise ship terminal Current container and car terminal Current cruise ship terminal corresponding to more than half of the turnarounds in the Baltic Region. The new cruise-ship terminal will have the necessary facilities for processing luggage, security, etc. A present cruise-ship quay in the Freeport is expected to continue to cope with ships in transit, as are Langelinie and Ndr. Toldbod. The first surveys of the facilities and sailing conditions in the North Harbour have commenced, and a provisional timetable says that new quays can be ready in The final decision on the extension will be taken in Relocating terminals Subsequent extension of the new quay area would facilitate a relocation of the container and car terminals to an area further from the proposed city developments. However, these terminals would not be opened for about ten years. The City of Copenhagen will build a new road that will link the port with the motorway network. This road will be a major asset for CMP. Infrastructure in the North Harbour, Copenhagen Purpose: Construction of new quays for cruise ships, etc. Location: The east side of the North Harbour Expected opening: 2010 Investment: SEK million 'We look forward to telling our principal customers that new quays and facilities are on their way in Copenhagen. We see the plans as an expression of the desire to maintain Copenhagen's position as Europe s leading cruise destination,' says Jan Bonfils, Senior General Manager of the Maersk Broker agency in Copenhagen, brokers for 70 80% of the cruise ships that call at the city. 'For some time we have been under pressure from the cruise lines to add both further stretches of quay and new terminal facilities in Copenhagen,' he adds. Bonfils sees the new plans as a parallel to the decision to extend the oil terminal at Prøvestenen with a new pier. If the necessary cruise facilities are built, and if Copenhagen fights for its position, then there is nothing to stop the cruise-ship adventure market enjoying the same rapid growth as it has in recent years. 'The cruise lines have a positive attitude towards Copenhagen and the Baltic States,' Bonfils says, but he stresses again and again that Copenhagen must not rest on its laurels. 'Of course, Copenhagen must be capable of processing the ships that will call there, and those ships will be bigger and bigger. Copenhagen has to be able to accommodate them in terms of quays as well as facilities. The cruise guests are used to the best and their expectations are increasing as are the standards for turnaround facilities.' Bonfils expects the new facilities to be constructed following dialogue with the cruise lines companies, with an eye to how effective terminals function abroad. 'There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Just ask the cruise lines where in the world they think turn-arounds work well. It is only natural to consult the shipping companies.' Growth potential Maersk is already taking bookings for the 2009 season, and expects a steadily rising number of cruise ships over the next few years. Jan Bonfils explains the phenomenon: 'Copenhagen and Saint Petersburg are names that sound good in tourists' ears the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg is a top attraction, for example. Copenhagen Airport is an asset, and the city has quite good hotel capacity. Senior General Manager Jan Bonfils. The distances in the Baltic Sea Region provide opportunities to alternate between night-time sailing and visits by day. And the cruise lines believe that the services they need are being provided.' If a ship needs a piano tuner on a Sunday afternoon, or a dental appointment in the evening, they can get one. Bonfils is also often impressed with what Maersk's ten staff members, who are employed all year round to look after logistics and services for the cruise ships, are able to cope with. Part of their success is that they are able to draw on a large network of contacts that enables them to provide the right service at the right time. Maersk Broker is already established in Tallinn, and will also be represented in Stockholm from The company is considering extending its services to other Baltic ports, so it can follow the cruise ships around the Baltic Sea. 16 a n n u a l r e p o r t a n n u a l r e p o r t

12 Cruise-ship port of the year again Copenhagen has been named 'Europe s Leading Cruise Destination' for the third year in a row. The prize, voted for by travel-agency staff in 200 countries, was awarded at the World Travel Awards in autumn Other nominated destinations were Stockholm, Barcelona and Genoa. CMP sees the prize as a professional recognition of the work done by Cruise Copenhagen Network, which brings the cruise-ship industry together. CMP has chaired the network since it was set up in Management report Org. no The Board of Directors and Managing Director of Copenhagen Malmö Port AB (CMP) take great pleasure in presenting their annual report for the financial year January December Group structure, organisation and activities CMP is a 50/50 joint venture owned by Port of Malmö AB (Swedish company registration no ) and the Port of Copenhagen A/S (Danish company registration no ). CMP's activities in Denmark are managed by a subsidiary (Danish company registration no ). CMP leases fixed plant, such as quays, warehouses, buildings, etc., from Port of Malmö AB and the Port of Copenhagen A/S. The annual lease is based partly upon the cost of existing facilities and partly upon the cost of investment in new plant. Important events during and after the end of the financial year Total cargo volumes handled by CMP during 2006 amounted to 16.6 million tonnes, up 9% from The major increase in cargo volumes is explained first and foremost by volume increases in ferry traffic, container traffic and car imports. The number of new cars processed increased by almost 30% to 440,000. Ferry traffic between Sweden and Germany rose by 15% and container activities grew 13% to 175,000 TEUs. Dry-bulk activity showed a positive development in 2006, with an increase of 0.3 million tonnes compared to 2005, while oil activity increased by 0.1 million tonnes. CMP expects that the positive trend of increasing carge volumes will continue next year. The number of cruise-ship passengers rose by 7% compared to 2005, which meant CMP maintained its strong market position in the Baltic Sea Region. Business concept CMP provides a range of port, terminal and transport services. Net sales and results Profit after financial items in 2006 was SEK 92.8 million (up from SEK 79.7 million in 2005). Although all business areas contributed to the increase, profitability still remains too low in certain segments. Total net sales in 2006 were SEK million, up from SEK million in Total operating costs were SEK million in 2006, up 6.4% compared to a 7.7% increase in net sales in Future developments Net sales and profits are expected to grow again in The positive trends in cruise ships and cars are expected to continue, along with cost-cutting measures and rationalisation in all business areas. The management is optimistic about the future and expects CMP AB s result before balance-sheet allocations to improve continuously over the coming years. The environment CMP continues to prioritise the environment. Company policy on the environment states that: 'Copenhagen Malmö Port AB continually prioritises and improves its safety, health and environmental procedures in order to achieve long-term, sustainable development'. a n n u a l r e p o r t

13 Income statement The international standard ISO has been introduced as an environment-management system throughout CMP. All port operations in Sweden require licensing under the new environmental code. CMP lodged the appropriate application for permission to operate as a port with the county administrative board in September The process is still ongoing and CMP is expected to be granted a license before the end of Certain facilities and areas where CMP operates have been environmentally affected by previous activities. However, the environmental conditions that stem from the time prior to 2001 are the respective port owner's responsibility. As far as conditions and approval from the environmental authorities for CMP's current activities in the areas involved are concerned, these have been met in full. Investments Investment in buildings, machinery and inventory amounted to SEK 30 million. The investment was mainly in machines and in improving the staff facilities in Malmö. Personnel The number of employees rose by 2% to 471 in 2006, of whom 14% were women. Sick leave was 7.1% ( 6.1% in 2005).

The following assessment and conversion principles have been used in the annual report: Co-owners Port of Malmö AB and Port of Copenhagen A/S are referred to as coowners in the annual report. Fixed assets Fixed assets are accounted for in terms of acquisition cost with allowance for planned depreciation based upon an estimation of the financial life of the assets. Planned depreciation is calculated as follows: Buildings Permanent equipment in buildings and installations Machinery Vehicles and other equipment Computers Tax-related write-offs in excess of planned depreciation are regarded as extra depreciation, constituting an untaxed reserve. The buildings have no ratable value years years 7-10 years 5 years 3 years Accounts receivable and accounts payable Accounts receivable are entered into the accounts at the amount expected to be paid. Accounts receivable and liabilities in foreign currency are converted into SEK at the rate on the day the balance sheet is closed. Any difference between acquisition value and closure value is accounted for. Liquid assets Liquid assets include cash and bank accounts, as well as short-term investments. Foreign subsidiary Profits and balances of the foreign subsidiary are converted according to the daily rate method, by which calculation differences are reckoned against equity.

Malmö, 1 March 2007 Peter Maskell Chairman Corporate identity number I have audited the annual accounts, the accounting records and the administration of the board of directors and the managing director of Copenhagen Malmö Port AB for the financial year These accounts and the administration of the company and the application of the Annual Accounts Act when preparing the annual accounts are the responsibility of the board of directors and the managing director. My responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual accounts and the administration based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual accounts 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 managing director and significant estimates made by the board of directors and the managing director when preparing the annual accounts as well as evaluating the overall presentation of information in the annual accounts. As a basis for my opinion concerning discharge from liability, I examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to be able to determine the liability, if any, to the company of any board member or the managing director. I also examined whether any board member or the managing director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion set out below. The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and give a true and fair view of the company s financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts. I recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the income statement and balance sheet be adopted, that the profit be dealt with in accordance with the proposal in the administration report and that the members of the board of directors and the managing director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
