Volito AB is a privately-owned investment company based in Malmö. The company runs ope-rations in the areas of Aviation, Real Estate and Structured Finance. Volito AB structures its activities in operating subsidiaries and in other investments within its three business areas.
The Real Estate business area includes the wholly-owned Volito subsidiary, Volito Fastigheter AB. Volito Fastigheter mainly focuses on commercial real estate in the Öresund Region. Real Estate also includes Volito’s ownership in Peab AB (publ). Peab is a construction and civil engineering company, listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
Structured Finance encompasses Volito’s ownership in Nordkap Bank AG. Nordkap Bank offers structured financing solutions, and its customers are primarily in developing regions of the world. The bank runs its operations from Zürich, Switzerland.
The Aviation business area covers the leasing of commercial jet aircraft in the narrow-body segment, mainly Boeing 737 and Airbus 319/320. The leasing business is operated by the wholly-owned subsidiary, Volito Aviation AB, and the majority-owned Volito Aviation AG, headquartered in Switzerland.
SAA AB, in Västerås, is also part of the Aviation business area. The SAA
Group runs training courses for pilots and other personnel in the aviation industry, and has activity in Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.
The Aviation business area also administers Volito’s holding in CTT Systems AB (publ), a company listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. CTT develops and sells humidity control systems for commercial aircraft.
Volito’s overall objective is to create long-term, balanced value growth for the shareholders. 2006 saw growth in adjusted equity of 36%. The Volito Group’s adjusted equity amounted on 31 December 2006 to SEK 1 272,9 million.

2006 in brief
annual report 2006 | Volito AB 5
The Group | Volito
The results for 2006, measured as growth in adjusted equity, was again very good. The value increase for the year amounted to 36% and was generated by both the contribution of current earnings and the growth in value of existing investments. The Volito Group’s adjusted equity amounted at year-end to SEK 1 272,9 million, which gives a stable platform for the future.
As stated, Volito Aviation signed an agreement in late 2006 with
Goldman Sachs. Both companies will place their respective aircraft fleets in a joint company, which will be served by Volito Aviation. The transaction is a clear sign of the solid expertise that has been built up over the years within Volito to cover all aspects of aircraft leasing.
The transaction with Goldman Sachs brings with it a number of benefits from a financial perspective. Volito realises a part of the value
that has been built up in recent years in Volito Aviation’s portfolio. The transaction also means a lower balance sheet total, which clearly improves some of the Volito Group’s key ratios. It also provides risk diversification, as Volito retains its nominal exposure for the aircraft leasing operation, but spread over a larger number of aircraft. In addition, there is a release of liquid funds that can be used for continued expansion of the business area.
Comments from the CEO2006 was yet another successful year for the Volito Group. In value terms, the company achieved growth of 36% in adjusted equity, and virtually all operations within the Group have continued to develop in a positive direction. A major event for the year was the agreement Volito Aviation signed with the American investment bank Goldman Sachs. The agreement means that Volito Aviation merges most of its aircraft fleet with the existing fleet of Goldman Sachs and that future aircraft leasing operations will be run jointly. Volito Aviation will own 25,5% of the new company.

Sven HolmgrenCEO and President, Volito AB
Volito Fastigheter generated a very satisfactory profit during the year and is well positioned for the future in the expansive Öresund Region. The company has noted an increase in competition indicated by a growing interest in the region as an attractive place for real estate investments. Due to this, the company did not expand the property portfolio during the year. The company is actively seeking growth opportunities and looking for new ways to further grow its portfolio.
Volito’s investment in Peab developed positively in value terms during the year. The strategic ties with Peab have also been strengthened and a clear sign of this was that Volito Fastigheter signed an agreement on the acquisition of a property in Klagshamn outside Malmö with Peab as the contractor. The transaction was carried out in early January 2007.
Nordkap Bank continued to develop strongly in 2006. The bank generated
a profit before tax of CHF 8,8 millionand has again shown that an organisa-tion is in place which can generate a number of qualitative transactions in a market characterised by considerable competition and high liquidity. The bank has also moved up in the value chain and during the year completed its first transactions in the market as Lead Arranger. This is further proof of the quality in the organisation and guarantees continued profitability and growth in the years to come.

SAA suffered a tragic accident in February 2006 when, during a training flight in San Diego, one of the company’s aircraft was involved in a midair collision with another small aircraft. Three people died in the accident, including an instructor and student from SAA. All the necessary support measures were immediately deployed to help the relatives.
In terms of profit, SAA had a tough year. The company considerably increased its revenues during the period, but integration of the acquisitions made in 2005 and 2006 has been more expensive and
time-consuming than originally anticipated. SAA also sustained a number of extraordinary costs as a result of the implemented acquisitions and this has further reduced profitability. However, the profit in operations has improved during the year and we have well-founded hopes that SAA will return to profitability in 2007.
As well as the development of our operations, I feel strongly that we will continue to develop as people within the Volito Group. We continue to build on our core values of trust, integrity, long-term business view
and respect for our business partners, and naturally it is the personnel within Volito who are behind this ”construction”. With all this in mind, we can leave another successful year behind us and raise well-founded hopes that 2007 will also be an interesting and prosperous year. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our customers, owners, personnel and all our partners for the year that has passed.

In January 2007, Volito Fastigheter completed the acquisition from Peab of the Lastbryggan 2 property in Klagshamn. The property covers 1 158 sq.m. and establishes Volito in a market that, with its proximity to the Öresund Bridge and extended infrastructure, is expected to have considerable development and growth potential in the future.
“The acquisition of the property in Klagshamn is positive in several respects. It demonstrates the strategic
cooperation we have with Peab, and also establishes us in a market where we see great potential and good development prospects for the future. Klagshamn is definitely a market in which we will grow and create a greater volume to manage in the years to come”, says Per Hammarström, CEO of Volito Fastigheter.
Work on the City Tunnel in central Malmö has progressed during the year. Volito Fastigheter has a strong
portfolio in close proximity to the City Tunnel and is now working actively and strategically to position these properties for the shift of the centre in Malmö that the City Tunnel’s opening is expected to bring about.
The market in the Öresund Region has otherwise continued to generate great interest among more players in the real estate sector. This has resulted in continued falls in yield levels and thus a rise in real estate
Per Hammarström,CEO , Volito Fastigheter AB
Strong results in a market where prices continued to rise
Volito Fastigheter continued to generate strong operating results and cash flow during the year. The company reported a profit for the year before tax of SEK 26,5 million (56,2). A property in Klagshamn, outside Malmö, was acquired by the company from Peab. This acquisition, which was completed in January 2007, is proof of the strategic cooperation that exists with Peab. The market in the Öresund Region has otherwise been marked by strong demand, with falling yield levels and rising prices as a result.

prices. During the year, Volito Fastigheter has analysed several potential acquisitions, but these have not been able to fulfil the company’s acquisition criteria.
Market developments have meant that the value of Volito Fastigheter’s portfolio increased by 12% during the year to SEK 998,6 million (890,7). The value is calculated at a yield of 6,2%. This figure is considered as conservative by the company and
does not include a premium that can probably be added if Volito’s entire real estate portfolio was to be offered for sale on the market.
Volito Fastigheter has for several years been a well-established manager of real estate in Malmö and signed a 10-year agreement in 2006 with NetOnNet, which has decided to establish a warehouse store in Malmö.
The vacancy level has risen somewhat during the year and at year-end was 12,6% (11,6%). The company expects the level to fall in the coming quarter, as some rental contracts under negotiation will be settled and the positive employment trend in the Öresund Region will continue.
In view of the interest rate trend during the year, the company decided in 2006 to fix its rates

for a larger part of its loan portfolio. At year-end, the company had a total loan portfolio of SEK 556,7 million (567,7), of which SEK 387,6 million (70%) carried fixed rates of interest. The average maturity term for the whole portfolio at year-end was 3,4 years.
Volito Fastigheter’s profit before tax for 2006 amounted to SEK 26,5 million (56,2). The previous year’s profit included a capital gain of 30,2 million. The return on the company’s equity amounted to 12,2% (28,5%).
During the year, Volito increased its holding in Peab AB (publ) and in December acquired a further 1 075 000 B-Class shares in the company. Volito’s holding thereby amounts to 4 300 000 B-Class shares, which corresponds to 2,5%of the votes and 4,9% of the capital in Peab. At year-end, the holding had a value of SEK 698,8 million.
Peab continued to develop strongly during 2006 with increased turnover and rising profit as a result. The share price, including dividend, rose by 62% in comparison with the OMX All Share Index, which went up by 24% in the same period.
In the autumn, Peab’s board proposed that the Peab AGM in May 2007 shall decide on the distribution of the company’s industrial operations to the shareholders. The proposed form of dividend is shares in a subsidiary called Peab Industri AB. This distribution creates improved possibilities and increased competitiveness for both Peab’s construction and civil engineering projects and for Peab Industri that over time is expected to lead to an increase in share holder value.
As mentioned previously, the strategic cooperation with Peab has also generated business for Volito Fastigheter during the year. This trend is expected to continue in years to come, as the holding is a way for Volito Fastigheter to gain earlier entry into real estate projects.

Stuctured Finance | Nordkap Bank
During the year, Nordkap Bank took further steps in the strategy that has been established for just over two years. Over 30 loan transactions were carried out in 2006, adding a total volume of approx. CHF 150 million to the bank’s existing portfolio. The average margin on the transactions
has been 3,1% (2,9%). Growth has also been achieved with a considerable focus on costs, which means that for 2006, Nordkap Bank achieved a cost/revenue ratio of 37,6% (41,3%). The bank has a long-term aim to hold the cost/revenue ratio under 40%. The high price of raw materials
has led to a more intensive rate of investment in the infrastructure sectors of the developing countries. Both these trends have been favourable for Nordkap Bank during 2006, as the bank is active in both raw material and infrastructure financing.
Nordkap Bank reports good results
Nordkap’s loan portfolio increased by 57% during 2006 and amounted at year-end to CHF 418 million (267). The expansion has been carried out with good profitability and the average margin for the loan portfolio at year-end was 3,1% (2,9%). During the year, Nordkap was engaged to arrange a number of structured transactions, some-thing that strengthens the bank’s future profitability potential and secures confidence in the bank among other players in the market.

The bank has not suffered any credit losses during the year, which confirms that Nordkap’s routines and processes for monitoring the development of the loan portfolio is well managed.
Nordkap acted as Lead Arranger in a number of transactions in 2006. These mandates have been secured in competition with some of the world’s most respected players in

good, as the revenues are generated in a fee structure that is applied in addition to the normal credit spread that constitutes Nordkap Bank’s fundamental revenue model.
For 2006, Nordkap generated a profitbefore tax of CHF 8,8 million (8,0).The profit has been positively affected by an increase in lending, while revenues from the insurance portfolio taken over from Sirius in 2004
decreased in comparison with the previous year.
The return on equity during the year was 9,4% (9,6%). This return shows the fact that the bank continues to be overcapitalised with a capital coverage at year-end of 22,3%. When Nordkap achieves a more optimal capital structure, the return on equity will increase and should establish itself on a sustainable level above 25%.
Nordkap Bank expects developments to continue in a positive direction in the coming years. The considerable demand for capital is continuing in the markets where Nordkap is active. The bank also sees considerable possibilities to add further products and revenue sources to the current business model and thus also create risk diversification in its business model.

The agreement signed at the end of the year with Goldman Sachs means that during 2007 Volito Aviation will merge the major part of its fleet with the existing fleet of Goldman Sachs in a new company based in Ireland, VGS Aircraft Holding Ltd. (VGS). Volito Aviation’s share of ownership in VGS will be 25,5%. As part of the transaction, Letters of Intent were signed in the autumn to jointly acquire a further five aircraft which will also be added to VGS in early 2007. With the inclusion of these aircraft, VGS is expected to initially own about 40 aircraft with a book-value in excess of USD 550 million.
If market conditions are favourable, the aim is to gradually increase the fleet.
“We are very satisfied with the VGS transaction, which is undeniably a milestone in the development of Volito Aviation. The transaction makes evident the value in our portfolio while also positioning us for continued growth. The fact that Volito Aviation will manage the future fleet is also clear proof of the competence and quality possessed by our team,” says Karl-Axel Granlund, acting CEO of Volito Aviation.
During the year, three of the company’s aircraft were remarketed to new lessees. In April, an Airbus 320, which came back from MyTravel, was leased out to the Ukranian airline, Donbassaero Airlines, until April 2012. In November, one of the company’s Airbus 319 aircraft was placed with the Brazilian airline, TAM. The agreement with TAM is for 78 months and runs until March 2014. This aircraft came back from TACA in El Salvador. Finally, in December a Boeing 737 was placed with Rumanian airline, Blue Air, on a lease until March 2012. This aircraft came back from

Luxair in accordance with the conditions of the previous lease. These transactions have been carried out with limited downtime, which is a further confirmation of the competence within Volito Aviation. The contracts for one B737-3G7 on lease to US Airways and two Airbus 320-231 on lease to Indian Airlines have been extended until 2010.
Volito Aviation also sold an aircraft during the year. In June, a Boeing
737 was sold to the Ukrainian airline,Dniproavia. The aircraft had previously been leased out to easyJet in England, and the transaction resulted in a substantial capital gain. The sale was yet further proof that in recent years Volito Aviation has built up considerable surplus value in its aircraft fleet.
In April, Volito Aviation increased its existing credit facility with HSH Nordbank to USD 250 million (pre-
viously USD 150 million). A facility brings additional flexibility as well as possibilities to rapidly respond to investment opportunities that arise. HSH Nordbank is one of the world’s leading banks within global transport, and cooperation with HSH gives Volito Aviation both credibility and increased leverage in the market.
In addition to continued investment in aircraft, Aviation continued to

strengthen its organisation during the year. Expertise has been added in the technical area and in accounting, administration and finance. Further recruitment has been initiated in order to fully meet the demands that come with servicing and managing a larger fleet. With an aim to enable
more efficient management of a larger portfolio, investments have been made in systems to improve financial reporting.
Volito Aviation’s profit before tax for the year amounted to SEK 103,2 million (8,8). The profit has been
positively affected by the doubling of the fleet carried out in 2005. Also included in the profit is a capital gain of SEK 4,3 million (0,0),and reversed maintenance reserves on disposed aircraft, SEK 28,5 million. The company’s return on equity for the year amounted to 26,7% (3,1%).

In 2006, SAA achieved continued good growth in revenues. These increased by 38,0% and amounted for the full-year to SEK 116,1 million (84,1). However, integration work of the operations in the USA and Switzerland has proved to be more costly and time-consuming than originally anticipated.
In February 2006, SAA Inc. in San Diego suffered a tragic accident when, during a training flight, one of the company’s aircraft was involved in a midair collision with another small aircraft. Three people died in the accident, including a student and instructor from SAA. The accident is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which will present its conclusions during 2007.
The year has otherwise been marked by the integration of the operations that were acquired in 2005 (SAA Inc. in the USA) and 2006 (Twinair
S.A. in Switzerland). The work has aimed to develop a competitive product offering with an efficient organisation in view of the market’s current demand for pilots, which is expected to grow in the years to come.
The integration work has also resulted in management changes at both SAA Inc. and Twinair. This has been a natural step in developments to create a coherent and efficient structure for the different companies within the SAA Group. Organisational changes have also taken place at SAA in
Sweden, mainly with an aim to strengthen the organisation from an expertise perspective.
In late 2006, SAA Inc. gained accreditation from the Chinese equivalent of the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration Board. This means that operations in San Diego are well equipped to accept and train Chinese pilots, and the first students are expected to start their training during 2007. SAA has also established contacts in India that mean SAA Inc. will take in its first students from India as early as January 2007. Both China and

Aviation | Scandinavian Aviation Academy
India are expected to account for a considerable part of total training within SAA Inc in the future.
The strong cooperation with Ryanair continued during 2006. A total of 152 (104) pilots were recruited and trained in cooperation with SAS Flight Academy. Cooperation with Ryanair looks set to increase in the future with a rise in the number of training courses in the coming year in type rating courses as well as in MCC (Multi Crew Cooperation). In addition to Ryanair training, 35 self-financed type rating courses have been carried out.
For 2006, SAA reported a loss before tax of SEK -7,3 million (2,3). The results include one-off costs of SEK 4,1 million (0,0) and goodwill de-preciation of SEK 1,7 million (0,9).
The company’s operating cash flow has, despite the results, been positive and amounted for the full-year to SEK 2,5 million (0,3). Consequently, the return on equity was negative (4,6%).
Looking to the future, the company sees no reason to change its strategy, which was established last year. This is based on providing a full service as a One Stop Shop Facility concerning training courses directed at airlines worldwide. The strategy has been conceived for a future in which airlines will outsource more of their training to subcontractors. The company expects a clear improvement in earnings during 2007.
CTT Systems AB (publ) took further orders during the year and continued to develop in a positive direction. In February, Monarch Airlines UK ordered 27 Zonal Drying systems for installation in its entire fleet. CTT won a strategic order in October when Continental Airways ordered 41 Zonal Drying systems for its Boeing 757 fleet. The order was important, as it was CTT’s first major order in the US market.
Otherwise, 2006 has been characterised by continued preparations for delivery of the Zonal Drying system for the Boeing 787, in which CTT’s product will be standard. Boeing has had great success with the 787 and so far there are about 450 firm orders for the model. The first systems will be delivered by CTT in 2007.
The development of CTT’s share price was negative during the year. The price has fallen by 31% in comparison with the OMX All Share Index, which in 2006 rose by 24%. This share price development should be regarded in the light of 2005, when the share was one of the best performing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange with an increase of 473%.
In early 2006, Volito reduced its holding in CTT. In total, 230 333 shares were sold, which resulted in a capital gain of SEK 10,6 million. Volito’s continuing holding in CTT amounts to 1 103 000 shares, which corresponds to 12,3% of the votes and capital in the company. Volito is CTT’s biggest shareholder and the holding at year-end was worth SEK 52,3 million.

Pro forma
Volito Aviation AB signed an agreement with Goldman Sachs in late 2006. Both companies will place their respective aircraft fleets in a joint company (VGS Aircraft Holding Ltd.), which will be served by a subsidiary of Volito Aviation. Volito Aviation’s ownership share in VGS will amount to 25,5%.
The agreement concerning VGS was signed on 6 December, and the transaction is expected to be fully implemented during 2007. The agree-ment will mean a number of economic and financial consequences for the Volito Group, which has acted as the driving force from Volito’s side in the realisation of the transaction.
• The earnings effect from the transaction amounts to approx. SEK 145 million and will be recorded during 2007.
• The equity/assets ratio of the Volito Group is strengthened considerably and expected to be approx. 39,5% (16,3%) after the transaction.
• The transaction releases approx. SEK 185 million in liquid funds, which strengthens the Volito Group’s liquidity situation.
• Risk diversification within Volito Aviation is improved, as the Volito Group’s total aviation exposure is now spread over considerably more aircraft and lessees than previously.
Due to the major change in the Volito Group’s consolidated position caused by the transaction, a pro forma balance sheet as per 31 December 2006 is shown below as if the transaction had been carried out on this date.

Administration report The business in brief
Volito AB (Corp. ID. No. 556457-4639) is the Parent company in a Group,
which operates in the business areas Aviation, Real Estate and Structured
Finance. Aviation includes Volito Aviation (aircraft leasing), SAA (training)
and Volito’s holding in CTT Systems AB (publ). The Real Estate business
area consists of Volito Fastigheter and Volito’s holding in Peab AB (publ).
Structured Finance includes Volito’s ownership in Nordkap Bank AG.
Volito’s other investments are listed under the headline ”Other holdings”.
The holdings remain from Volito’s time as an active investor in young and
newly started companies, something that in principle Volito ceased doing
in autumn 2003.
Profit before tax for the Parent company amounted to SEK 7,6 million
(168,5) and for the Group SEK 144,5 million (79,0). The balance sheet total
for the Parent company was SEK 985,1 million (822,1) and for the Group,
SEK 4 010,2 million (3 574,7). The equity amounted to SEK 511,5 million
(511,5) and 544,8 million (469,1) for the Parent company and Group
respectively.
AviationLeasing - Volito Aviation AB group
Volito Aviation was established in the spring of 2001 as a subsidiary of
Volito AB. The company runs operations in aircraft leasing.
During the year, Volito Aviation AB has, through the 51%-owned company
Volito Aviation AG, invested in its aircraft portfolio, a total of USD 59,0
million (168,5) corresponding to SEK 438,5 million (1 290,6). At year-end,
the fleet consisted of 22 aircraft with a book-value of SEK 2 505,7 million.
In December, Volito Aviation signed an agreement with Goldman Sachs
that means Volito Aviation merges the major part of its fleet with the
existing fleet of Goldman Sachs in a company based in Ireland, VGS
Aircraft Holding Ltd. Volito Aviation’s ownership in VGS will be 25,5%.
During the autumn, Volito signed an agreement to acquire a further five
aircraft together with Goldman Sachs. These aircraft will be added to VGS
in early 2007.
During the year, three of Volito Aviation’s aircraft were remarketed to
new lessees. In April, an Airbus 320, which came back from MyTravel,
was leased out to the Ukranian airline, Donbassaero Airlines, until April
2012. In November, one of the company’s Airbus 319 aircraft was placed
with the Brazilian airline, TAM. The agreement with TAM is for 78 months
and runs until March 2014. This aircraft came back from TACA. Finally, in
December a Boeing 737 was placed with Rumanian airline, Blue Air, on a
lease until March 2012. This aircraft came back from Lux Air in accordance
with the conditions of the previous lease.
Volito also sold an aircraft during the year. In June, a Boeing 737 was sold
to the Ukrainian airline, Dniproavia. The aircraft had previously been
leased out to easyJet and the transaction resulted in a capital gain of SEK
4,3 million and reversed maintenance reserves of SEK 28,5 million.
In April, Volito Aviation increased its existing credit facility with HSH
Nordbank to USD 250 million (previously USD 150 million).
Volito Aviation’s profit before tax for the year amounted to SEK 103,2 mil-
lion (8,8). The profit has been positively affected by the doubling of the
fleet carried out in 2005. Also included in the profit is the above mentio-
ned capital gain of SEK 4,3 million and the reversed maintenance reserve
on disposed aircraft, SEK 28,5 million. The company’s return on equity for
the year amounted to 26,7% (3,1%).
Training - Scandinavian Aviation Academy AB group
SAA runs training courses for personnel in the aviation industry,
principally pilots.
In 2006, the company achieved continued good growth in revenues.
These increased by 38,0% and amounted for the full-year to SEK 116,1
million (84,1). In early 2006, shares corresponding to 67,4% of the shares
in Twinair S.A. were acquired via a direct share issue. Twinair runs train-
ing operations in Lausanne, Switzerland. In parallel with this acquisition,
integration of SAA Inc. in San Diego continued during the year.
In February 2006, SAA Inc. in San Diego suffered a tragic accident when,
during a training flight, one of the company’s aircraft was involved in a
midair collision with another small aircraft. Three people died in the ac-
cident, including a student and instructor from SAA. The accident is being
investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which
will present its conclusions during 2007.
There have been management changes both at SAA Inc. and Twinair
during the year. This has been done with an aim to create a coherent and
efficient structure for the different companies within the SAA group.
Organisational changes have also taken place at SAA in Sweden, mainly
with an aim to strengthen the organisation from an expertise perspective.
In late 2006, SAA Inc. gained accreditation from the Chinese equivalent
of the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration Board. This means that ope-
rations in San Diego are well equipped to accept and train Chinese pilots,
and the first students are expected in 2007. SAA has also established
contacts in India that mean SAA in the USA will take in its first students
from India as early as January 2007.
The strong cooperation with Ryanair continued during 2006. A total of
152 (104) pilots were recruited and trained in cooperation with SAS Flight
Academy.
For 2006, SAA reported a loss before tax of SEK -7,3 million (2,3).
The results include one-off costs of SEK 4,1 million (0,0) and goodwill
depreciation of SEK 1,7 million (0,9). Consequently, the return on
equity was negative (4,6%).
Other holdings - CTT Systems AB (publ)
CTT is a Swedish technology company that develops and markets hu-
midity control systems for commercial aircraft. The company’s share is
listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
CTT has taken a number of further orders in 2006. In February, Monarch
Airlines UK ordered 27 Zonal Drying systems for installation in its entire
fleet. CTT won a strategic order in October when Continental Airways
ordered 41 Zonal Drying systems for its Boeing 757 fleet. The order
was CTT’s first major order in the US market.
Otherwise, 2006 has been characterised by continued preparations for
delivering the Zonal Drying system for Boeing 787, in which CTT’s product
will be standard. At year-end, Boeing had about 450 firm orders for the
model. The first systems will be delivered by CTT in 2007.
The development of CTT’s share price was negative during the year.
The price has fallen by 31% in comparison with the OMX All Share Index,
which in 2006 rose by 24%. This share price development should be
regarded in the light of 2005, when the share was one of the best perfor-
ming on the Stockholm Stock Exchange with an increase of 473%.
In early 2006, Volito reduced its holding in CTT. In total, 230 333 shares
were sold, which resulted in a capital gain of SEK 10,6 million. Volito’s
holding thereafter in CTT amounts to 1 103 000 shares, which corresponds
to 12,3% of the votes and capital in the company. Volito is CTT’s biggest
shareholder, and the holding at year-end was worth SEK 52,3 million.

Real EstateVolito Fastigheter AB group
Volito Fastigheter’s business consists of the management of, and trans-
actions in, commercial properties. The group’s portfolio is located on the
Swedish side of the Öresund Region with a focus on Malmö. The portfolio
properties have a total area of 86 916 sq.m.
Volito Fastigheter did not invest in any new properties during the year.
The market in the Öresund Region has continued to generate great
interest among more players in the real estate sector. This has resulted
in continued falls in yield levels and thus a rise in real estate prices.
Market developments have meant that the value of Volito Fastigheter’s
portfolio increased by 12,1% during the year to SEK 998,6 million (890,7).
The value is calculated at an average yield of 6,2%.
Work on the City Tunnel in central Malmö has progressed during the year.
Volito Fastigheter has a strong portfolio in close proximity to the City
Tunnel and is now working actively and strategically to position these
properties for the shift of the centre in Malmö that the City Tunnel’s
opening is expected to bring about.
Volito Fastigheter has for several years been a well-established manager
of real estate in Malmö and signed a 10-year agreement in 2006 with
NetOnNet, which has decided to establish a warehouse store in Segeholm.
The vacancy level has risen somewhat during the year and was 12,6%
(11,6%) at year-end.
In view of the interest rate trend during the year, the company decided in
2006 to fix its rates for a larger part of its loan portfolio. At year-end, the
company had a total loan portfolio of SEK 556,7 million (567,7), of which
SEK 387,6 million (70%) carried fixed rates of interest. The average
maturity term for the whole portfolio at year-end was 3,4 years.
Volito Fastigheter’s profit before tax for 2006 amounted to SEK 26,5 mil-
lion (56,2). The previous year’s profit included a capital gain of SEK 30,2
million. The return on the company’s equity amounted to 12,2% (28,5%).
Other holdings - Peab AB (publ)
Peab is a construction and civil engineering company that is listed on the
Stockholm Stock Exchange.
During the year, Volito increased its holding in Peab AB (publ) and in
December acquired a further 1 075 000 B-Class shares in the company.
Volito’s holding thereby amounts to 4 300 000 B-Class shares, which
corresponds to 2,5% of the votes and 4,9% of the capital in Peab.
At year-end, the holding had a value of SEK 698,8 million.
Peab continued to develop strongly during the year with increased
turnover and rising profit as a result. The share price, including
dividend, rose by 62% in comparison with the OMX All Share
Index, which went up by 24% in the same period.
In the autumn, Peab’s board proposed that the Peab AGM in May 2007
shall decide on the distribution of the company’s industrial operations to
the shareholders. The proposed form of dividend is shares in a subsidiary
called Peab Industri AB. This distribution creates improved possibilities
and increased competitiveness for both Peab’s construction and civil
engineering activities and for Peab Industri that over time is expected
to lead to an increase in shareholder value.
The strategic cooperation with Peab has also generated business for
Volito Fastigheter during the year (see under important events after
the end of the financial year).
Structured FinanceNordkap Bank AG
Nordkap Bank is a Swiss commercial bank specialising in structured
financing solutions.
Nordkap’s loan portfolio increased by 57% during 2006 and amounted
at year-end to CHF 418 million (267). Just over 30 loan transactions were
added to the bank’s existing portfolio. The expansion has been carried
out with good profitability and the average margin for the loan portfolio
at year-end was 3,1% (2,9%). During the year, Nordkap has also gained its
first mandates as Lead Arranger for loan transactions.
Growth has also been achieved with a focus on costs, which means that
for 2006, Nordkap Bank achieved a cost/revenue ratio of 37,6% (41,3%).
There have been no credit losses during 2006.
For 2006, Nordkap generated a profit before tax of CHF 8,8 million (8,0).
The profit has been positively affected by an increase in lending, while
revenues from the insurance portfolio taken over from Sirius in 2004
decreased in comparison with the previous year.
The return on equity for the year was 9,4% (9,6%).
Other holdings Volito has ownership shares in AB Nordsidan, Bokks AB, Galenica AB,
Itesco AB and St Victor s.a.r.l. The holdings in Facino AB and Protista
International AB were sold during the year. The combined group-value
of these holdings amounted at year-end to SEK 7,1 million.
In early 2006, Volito AB acquired SimCenter A/S Copenhagen. The purcha-
se price was SEK 6,2 million. The aim was to run simulator operations in
close proximity to Copenhagen’s Kastrup airport. This investment has
been put on ice until further notice, as the agreement that was intended
to become the basis for the operation’s revenues has not been realised.
Important leasing agreementsVolito Aviation’s aircraft fleet is leased out under operational leasing
agreements. The period during which aircraft are leased out ranges from
one to six years. There are a number of lessees that have options to
extend the existing leasing agreements, see note 5.
Volito Fastigheter has a rental rate of 87,4% (88,4%). The breakdown of
rentals is 97% commercial properties and 3% residential. The commercial
rental income is divided between 106 contracts in a number of different
sectors. For more information, see notes 5 and 19. In addition to the real
estate within Volito Fastigheter, there is a property within the Parent
company, with 22 contracts divided between residential (36%) and com-
mercial premises (64%).
Important events after the end of the financial yearIn January 2007, Volito Fastigheter completed the acquisition of shares
in KB Snickaren 208 from Peab. The company owns the Lastbryggan 2
property in Klagshamn. The property has a rentable space of 1 158 sq.m.
annual report 2006 | Volito AB 31
Financial Information | Administration report
In addition, KB Snickaren 208 has signed an agreement with Peab on the
acquisition of the Malmö Skytteltrafiken 2 property, which will have a
rentable premises area of 775 sq.m. and 942 sq.m residential when it is
completed, which is expected to be in the latter half of 2007.
The CEO for Volito Aviation AB left his position, as agreed with the
company, on 31 January 2007. In connection with this, Volito AB acquired
the convertible bond in Volito Aviation AB that had been signed by
a company wholly owned by the CEO. The purchase price amounted
to SEK 22,2 million, which was SEK 6,0 million above the convertible
bond’s nominal amount.
Expectations concerning future developmentsThe Group and Parent company
Volito expects a continuing positive trend, during 2007. Volito Aviation’s
transaction with Goldman Sachs will be implemented during the year
and this is expected to contribute considerably to Volito’s income. The
transaction will mean that Volito realises a part of the value that in recent
years has been built up in Volito Aviation’s portfolio as well as lead to a
lower balance sheet total. The risk diversification will be greater, as Volito
retains its nominal exposure for the aircraft leasing operations, but
spread over a larger number of aircraft. Furthermore, the transaction
will lead to a release of liquid funds.
SAA is expected in 2007 to reverse the negative results of 2006 and
return to profit. The growth will be driven by an increased intake of
students and higher utilisation of capacity.
Volito Fastigheter is optimistic about growth in the Öresund Region.
This positive trend is expected to affect employment in the region,
something that should lead to a lower vacancy level over time.
Nordkap Bank is expected to continue expanding its credit portfolio
and increase its profitability.
To sum up, the conditions are good for a continued positive trend in
profit and value growth during 2007.
Finance policyThe Volito Group is through its business activities exposed to various types
of financial risks. Financial risks relate to changes in exchange rates and
interest rates that affect the company’s cash flow, profit and thereby asso-
ciated equity. The financial risks also include credit and refinancing risks.
The financial risk situation is presented quarterly to the Board, which
use it as a basis for decisions on any measures to change or affect the
risk situation at any given time, see note 34.
Currency exposure
In its business activities the Volito Group is exposed to risks relating to ex-
change rate changes principally through its involvement in aircraft leasing.
Income from the leasing business is set and paid in USD. This exposure is
counterbalanced to a large degree in that interest and amortisation are
similarly USD-based. For long-term liabilities that make up the financing
of aircraft, there is no translation at accounting year-end. Latent exchange
profits (according to valuation at the accounting year-end exchange rate)
from these loans amount to SEK 228,0 million. Any latent exchange profits
or exchange losses released by disposals are counterbalanced in that
aircraft are entered in the accounts at the original purchase exchange rate.
This method constitutes a far-reaching hedging of the balance sheet for
that part of the Group’s activities which concern aircraft leasing. Latent
exchange losses for aircraft amount to SEK 314,3 million. The market
value of the aircraft considerably exceeds the book-value.
Due to the transaction with Goldman Sachs, the Volito Group’s profit/loss
will be less sensitive to changes in the USD exchange rate than previously.
The Volito Group’s holding in Nordkap Bank AG is partly hedged against
changes in the CHF exchange rate through certain borrowings in CHF.
However, a certain amount of the holding is exposed to changes in the
CHF exchange rate. Exchange rate differences related to translation of
foreign subsidaries are posted in the equity.
The Board of Volito has decided to accept the exposure for USD and
CHF according to the above, as this exposure in itself constitutes a risk
diversification within the Volito Group. The extent of this exposure will be
decided according to continuous review.
Interest rate exposure
The Volito Group is exposed to changes mainly in short-term interest ra-
tes through its involvement in the groups; Volito Fastigheter AB and SAA
AB. Within the Parent company, Volito AB, there is also a certain exposure
regarding short-term interest rates.
Taken together, the Volito Group’s total loans exposed to short-term
interest rates amount to approx. SEK 500 million. This means that the
Group’s profit before tax is affected by SEK 500 thousand when there is
an increase or decrease in the short-term interest rate of 0.10%.
In 2005, the Volito Group began to manage part of its interest rate risks
using interest rate swaps.Hedging relating to 32% of the debt portfolio of
the Volito Fastigheter AB group is being managed with swaps, something
that gives the company a higher degree of flexibility in terms of future
debt management. See note 34,
Proposed allocation of the company’s profit The Board of Directors and CEO propose that the profit available for
disposal, SEK 368 524 950,42 is allocated as follows (SEK K):
Dividend, [1 220 000 at SEK 25 per share] 30 500
Carried forward 338 025
368 525
The proposed dividend reduces the Group’s equity ratio to 15,5% from
16,3%. The equity ratio is prudent, in view of the fact that the company’s
activities continue to operate profitably. Liquidity in the Group is likewise
expected to be maintained at a similarly secure level.
The Board’s understanding is that the proposed dividend will not hinder
the company in carrying out its duties in the short or long term nor from
conducting necessary investment. The proposed dividend can thus be
seen in accordance with sections 2 and 3 of Paragraph 3 of ABL 17
(prudence principle).
For further information on the company’s income and position, refer to
the subsequent income statements and balance sheets, and related notes
to the accounts.

The Group
The Swedish Tax Authority has imposed a tax payment on Volito, equivalent to a total cost exposure of SEK 56 million (54) related to the tax
assessment years 2000 and 2001. Volito has appealed against the decision, and the appeal was upheld in the County Administrative Court.
The Swedish Tax Authority has now appealed against the County Administrative Court’s decision.
The Swedish Tax Authority has not approved the deductible deficiency in connection with the acquisition of Volito Finance AB.
Utilised and valued deductible deficiencies amount to SEK 112,2 million.
Since 2001, the Volito Group has received dividends from its Peab shares equivalent to SEK 49,2 million. As the holding is business-contingent,
the Group has claimed a deduction for the dividend as non-taxable income. The Swedish Tax Authority has rejected the claim for the years 2001
to 2004, but Volito has appealed against this decision and this appeal has been upheld in the County Administrative Court. In its turn, the Swedish
Tax Authority has appealed against the County Administrative Court’s decision. As long as the legal process continues, tax on the accumulated
dividends as above and capital gains from the sale of Peab shares, which amount to SEK 25,7 million, up to and including 2006, will be accounted
for as a contingent liability.

Current assets and short-term liabilities consist essentially only of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid within 12 months calculated from accounting year-end.
Valuation principles, etcAssets, provisions and liabilities have been valued at the acquisition value, unless otherwise stated below.
Intangible assets Intangible assets that are acquired by the company are reported at the acquisition value minus accumulated depreciation and write-downs.
Depreciation Depreciation is linear over the asset’s period of use and is shown as expenses in the income statement.
The following depreciation periods are applied: The Group Parent companyOther intangible assets 5 years 5 yearsSoftware 5 years –Goodwill 5 years _
Depreciation principles for tangible fixed assetsDepreciation according to plan is based on the original acquisition values reduced by the calculated residual value. Depreciation is linear over the period the asset is expected to be used.
The following depreciation periods are applied: The Group Parent companyBuildings 100 years 100 yearsEquipment, tools and installations 5 years 5 yearsComputer equipment 3-5 years 3-5 years
AircraftProportional depreciation is applied annually for aircraft so that the booked value is 15% of the acquisition value when the aircraft is 25 years old.
The fuselages of the aircraft used in training operation are written off over 15 years. The length of life of engines is based on the number of flying hours, and depreciation of these stems from the number of utilised flying hours.
Loan chargesAmortisation of prepaid loan charges is based on the term of the loan. In the Parent company, loan charges are debited to the profit/loss statement in the period to which they are related. In the Consolidated accounts, subsidiaries loan charges are charged to the profit/loss statement over the term of the loans. Loan charges refer to set-up charges and other charges associated with obtaining the loan.
Write-downsThe booked values of the Group’s assets are checked at each accounting year-end to determine if there is any indication of a need for write-downs. If there is such an indication, the recovery value of the asset is calculated as the highest of the utilisation value and net sales value. The asset is written down if the recovery value is less than the booked value. When calculating the utilisation value, the future cash flow is dis-counted to a rate of interest before tax that aims to take into consideration the market assessment of risk-free interest and the risk associated with the asset in question. An asset that is dependent on other assets is not considered to generate any indepen-dent cash flows. Such an asset is assigned instead to the smallest cash-generating unit where the independent cash flows can be stated. A write-down is reversed if a change has taken place in the calculations used to determine the recovery value. A reversal is only carried out to the extent that the asset’s booked value does not exceed the booked value that would have been shown, with a deduction for the depreciation, if there was to be no write-down.
ReceivablesAfter individual valuation, receivables have been reported at the sum at which they are calculated to be received.
Receivables and debts denominated in foreign currenciesReceivables and debts in foreign currencies have been translated at the accounting year-end exchange rate in accordance with recommendation No.8 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council. Exchange rate differences for operating re-ceivables and operating liabilities are included in the operating profit/loss, while dif-ferences for financial receivables and financial liabilities are reported among financial income and expense items.
Regarding aircraft reported in the aircraft leasing operation, financing and flow of in-come are tied to USD, which means extensive hedging. Therefore, long-term liabilities in USD that constitute financing of aircraft are not translated at accounting year-end.
To the extent that receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies have been secured under a forward contract, they have been translated to the forward rate.
InventoriesInventories, valued according to recommendation No.2:02 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council, are reported at the lowest of either the acquisition value or the net realisable value. In this way, the risk for obsolescence has been taken into account.
Short-term investmentsShort-term investments are valued according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act as the lowest of either the acquisition value or the actual value.
Financial instruments and securities holdingsOther long-term securities holdings are valued at the acquisition value. In those cases where the market value is lower than the book value, the potential need for a write-down is checked in accordance with the above-mentioned principle.
Other long-term receivables are valued at the sum at which they are calculated to be received.
Real estate The company and the Group apply the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendation RR24, Real estate. Real estate is reported in the balance sheet at the acquisition value with deductions for accumulated depreciation and any write-downs, as well as additions for any write-up. The actual value of real estate is stated in the supplementary information.
Remuneration to employeesBenefit-based pensions:Pensions for 46 of the Group’s employees have been secured through insurance with Alecta. According to a pronouncement of the Emerging Issues Task Force, URA 42, this is a benefit-determined plan that covers several employers. The company has not had access to such information for the financial years 2004 to 2006 that would make it possible to report this plan as a benefit-determined plan. The pension plan according to ITP, which is secured through insurance with Alecta, is therefore reported as a contribution-determined plan.
Contribution-based pensions:For all other employees, the company’s obligation for each period is comprised of the amounts that the company will contribute for the period in question. Consequently, no actuarial adoption is required to calculate the obligation or cost, and there is no possibility of any actuarial profits or losses. The obligations are calculated without dis-counting, except in those cases where they do not in their entirety fall due for payment within 12 months after the end of the period during which the employees carry out the related services.
TaxThe company and the Group apply the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendation RR.9, Income taxes. The total tax is made up of the current tax and deferred tax.
Taxes are reported in the income statement, except where the underlying transaction is charged to the equity, in which case the associated tax effect is reported in the equity. Current tax is tax that is to be paid or received relating to the current year. Adjustments of current tax relating to earlier periods come into this category. Deferred tax is calcula-ted according to the balance sheet method based on temporary differences between the reported values and fiscal values of assets and liabilities. The sums are calculated based on how the temporary differences are expected to be evened out and by the application of the tax rates and tax rules that have been adopted or announced at accounting year-end. Temporary differences are not taken into account in the goodwill for the Group or in the differences relating to the participations in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be taxed in the foreseeable future. Untaxed reserves including deferred tax liabilities are reported in the legal entity. In the Consolidated accounts on the other hand, untaxed reserves are divided into deferred tax liabilities and equity.
Deferred tax receivables concerning deductible temporary differences and deductible deficiencies are only reported to the extent it is likely that these will mean lower tax payments in the future.
Provisions (excluding negative goodwill and deferred tax)A provision is reported in accordance with RR 16, Provisions, contingent liabilities and possible assets, in the balance sheet when the company has a formal or informal commitment as the result of an event that has occurred and it is likely that an outflow of resources is required to regulate the commitment, and that a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Present value calculations are made to take time effects into account for important future payments.

Financial Information | Notes
Accounting of incomeAccounting of income is done according to the Swedish Financial Accounting Stan-dards Council’s recommendation No.11, Income. Income accounting is done in the income statement when it is probable that the future economic benefits will go to the company and these benefits can be calculated in a reliable way. Income includes only the gross inflow of economic benefits that the company receives, or can receive, for its own use. Income from sale of goods is reported as income when the company of the buyer has transferred the important risks and advantages that are associated with the ownership of the goods, and the company does not have any actual control over the goods that are sold. Income is reported at the actual value of what has been recei-ved, or will be received, with a deduction for rebates given. Remuneration is received in liquid funds and income is made up of the remuneration.
The criteria for income accounting are applied for each individual transaction.
Remuneration in the form of interest/royalties/dividends due to another’s use of the company’s assets is reported as income when it is likely that the economic benefits that are associated with the transaction go to the company and that they can be calcu-lated in a reliable way. Dividends are reported when the shareholder’s right to receive the payment is assessed as secure.
Leasing – lesseesRecommendation RR 6:99 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council is applied. Leasing is classified in the Consolidated accounts as either financial or ope-rational leasing. Financial leasing is used when the economic risks and advantages associated with ownership are essentially transferred to the lessee. If this is not the case, it is a matter of operational leasing.
Leasing and rental income are reported on a linear basis over the term of the leasing contract.
For the Group and Parent company, all leasing agreements are reported according to the rules for operational leasing. There are no significant financial leases.
Consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to recommen-dation RR 1:00 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council.
SubsidiariesSubsidiaries are companies in which the Parent company directly or indirectly has more than 50% of the votes or in other ways has a deciding influence over operational and financial control. Subsidiaries are normally reported according to the acquisition method. The acquisition method means that the acquisition of the subsidiary is consi-dered as a transaction from which the Parent company indirectly acquires the assets of the subsidiary and takes over its debts. The income and expenses, identifiable as-sets and debts as well as the goodwill or negative goodwill of the acquired company are included in the Consolidated accounts from the day of acquisition.
GoodwillGoodwill for the Group arises when the acquisition value on acquiring participations in a subsidiary exceeds the actual value of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets. Goodwill is reported at the acquisition value with deductions for accumulated depreciation and write-downs, if any.
Negative goodwillNegative goodwill arises when the acquisition value of participations on acquiring the subsidiary is less than the actual value of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets. If the negative goodwill that arises relates to future costs or future losses, the negative goodwill is accounted for as a provision in the balance sheet and is resolved in line with the costs (losses) that arise. If instead the negative goodwill arises due to other reasons, the negative goodwill is accounted for as a provision in the balance sheet to the extent that it does not exceed the actual value of the acquired identifiable non-monetary assets. That part which exceeds this value is immediately taken up as income. That part of negative goodwill that does not exceed the actual value of acqui-red identifiable non-monetary assets is taken up as income in a systematic way over a period that is calculated as the remaining balanced average period of utilisation for the acquired identifiable assets that are depreciable.
Associated companiesShareholdings in associated companies, in which the Group has at least 20% and at most 50% of the votes or in other ways has significant influence over the operation and finan-cial running of the company, are normally reported using the equity method. The equity method means that the value of shares in the associated company booked in the Group corresponds to the Group’s participation in the equity of the associated company as well as any residual value in the Group’s overall surplus value or under value. The Group’s participation in the associated company’s profit/loss after tax adjusted for any amorti-zation or resolution of acquired surplus or under value is reported in the Consolidated balance sheet as “Participation in associated companies’ profit/loss”. Profit shares built up after the acquisition of associated companies that have not yet been realised through dividends are allocated to the Group’s restricted equity. In cases where associated com-panies make losses, these are included in the Group’s non-restricted equity.
The associated company, Nordkap Holding AG has been reported according to IFRS, inclu-ding the recommendations not adopted by the EU Commission. No translation according to the Parent company’s accounting principles has been done, due to practical difficulties.
Elimination of transactions between companies in the GroupReceivables and debts within the Group, transactions between companies in the Group, and associated unrealised profits are all totally eliminated. Unrealised profits deriving from transactions with associated companies and joint ventures are elimi-
nated to the extent that the Group owns participations in the company. Unrealised profits arising as a result of transactions with associated companies are eliminated in “Participation in associated companies”. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised profits, providing that there is no write-down requirement.
Foreign currency translation of foreign subsidiaries or other operations abroadThe translation of foreign currencies is done according to recommendation No.8 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council. The current method is applied for currency translation of income statements and balance sheets in independent foreign operations.
The current method means that all assets, provisions and liabilities are translated at the accounting year-end rate, and that all items in the income statement are transla-ted at the average exchange rate. Exchange rate differences are posted as equity.
SAA Inc.,Twinair SA, SimCenter A/S and Volito AG are translated according to the cur-rent method.
In principle, the monetary method means that monetary assets and liabilities are trans-lated at the accounting year-end exchange rate, whereas non-monetary items and cor-responding items in the income statement are translated at the exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Other profit/loss items are translated at the average exchange rate. Differences in exchange rates that arise are included in the year’s profit/loss.
The foreign subsidiaries in the Volito Aviation AB Group are independent foreign operations, but they are translated according to the monetary method. This policy is in line with the Finance Policy in the Volito Group. The method gives a true and fair view on the policy for the Volito Group relating to foreign currency risks in the Volito Aviation business. A strict application to RR8, would have the effect that the transla-tion of the currency to SEK would not be uniform since the leasing business is set and paid in USD, and would therefor be translated differently due to in which country the business is run.
The deviation from RR8 has the following effects:– the profit after tax is SEK 8,4 million higher– the fixed assets are SEK 186,5 million higher– the loan portfolio is SEK 150,9 million higher– the total equity is SEK 30,0 million higher– and the minority iterests are SEK 6,5 million lowerwhen translated according to the monetary method compared to the current method.
Group contributions and shareholders’ contributionsThe company reports Group contributions and the shareholders’ contributions according to the pronouncements of the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council.
The shareholders’ contribution is entered directly against the equity at the recipient and is activated in shares and participations at the donor, to the extent that a write-down is not required.
Group contributions are reported according to economic significance. This means that the Group contributions submitted aimed at minimising the Group’s total tax are repor-ted directly against retained profit/loss after deduction for the current tax effect.
Group contributions that can be likened to a dividend are reported as a dividend. This means that the Group contributions received and their current tax effect are reported in the income statement. The Group contributions submitted and their current tax ef-fect are reported directly against retained profit/loss.
Group contributions that can be likened to a shareholders’ contribution are reported, taking into account the current tax effect, at the recipient directly against retained profit/loss. The donor reports the Group contribution and its current tax effect as investment in participations in Group companies to the extent that a write-down is not required.
Application of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendationsThe Volito Group has chosen to follow the recommendations of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council. There have been no significant changes in 2006 and the-refore no changes have been made in the Group’s accounting principles during the year.

The subsidiary SAA has signed pension insurance for 46 employees with Alecta and Collectum. All other employees in the Group have individual pension insurance, which is contribution-based.
According to a pronouncement from the Emerging Issues Task Force, URA 42, ITP plans at Alecta are a benefit-determined plan that covers several employers. It is a similar case for Collectum. The company has not had access to such information for the financial year 2006 that would make it possible to report these plans as benefit-determined plans. The pension plan according to ITP, which is secured through insurance with the above-men-tioned companies, is therefore accounted for as a contribution-determined plan.

The change in the Parent company between years has been shown as deferred tax expenses/income, except those amounts that according to note 35 are charged di-rectly against equity.
Deferred taxes are valued based on the nominal rate of tax. The only exception to this rule is the acquisition of material assets in which the tax assessment was a significant part of the business transaction when the deferred tax is valued based on the purcha-se price. All deferred taxed have been valued at a nominal amount on December 31 2006 (the same applies for the previous year).
Unreported deferred recoverable taxesDeductible temporary differences and fiscal deductible deficiencies for which deferred recoverable taxes have not been reported in the income statement and balance sheet:
2006-12-31 2005-12-31
Fiscal deficit 23 375 55 057
Deferred recoverable taxes have not been reported for these items, as it appears unlikely that the Group will utilise them for settlement against future taxable profits within the next three years.

Volito’s policy concerning borrowing is that the due dates for loans shall be spread over time. The policy relating to interest is that the fixed term periods for the portfolio shall be well balanced and assessed at all times against the company’s current view of the interest rate market.
Part of Volito’s borrowing is linked to the fulfilment of financial key ratios. These key ratios are followed up on a continuous basis and constitute part of the management’s framework for the financial planning of the business.
Currency risks The Volito Group is exposed to exchange rate changes mainly in the US dollar through its involvement in the Volito Aviation group. Income in the form of leasing fees is USD-based and is set against amortisation and interest payments on loans, which are similarly USD-based.
Due to the transaction with Goldman Sachs, the Volito Group’s profit/loss will be less sensitive to changes in the USD exchange rate than previously.
The Volito Group’s holding in Nordkap Bank AG is partly hedged against changes in the CHF exchange rate through certain borrowings in CHF. However, a certain amount of the holding is exposed to changes in the CHF exchange rate. Exchange rate differences related to translation of foreign subsidiaries are posted in the equity. The Board of Volito has decided to accept the exposure for USD and CHF according to the above, as this exposure in itself constitutes a risk diversification within the Volito Group. The extent of this exposure will be decided according to continuous review.
Interest risksThe Volito Group is exposed to changes mainly in short-term interest rates though its involvement in the groups Volito Fastigheter AB and SAA AB. Within the Parent company, Volito AB, there is also a certain exposure relating to short term interest rates.
Taken together, the Volito Group’s total loans that are exposed to short-term interest rates is approx. SEK 500 million. This means that the Group’s profit before tax is affected by SEK 500 K from any increase or decrease in the short-term interest rate by 0.10%.
During 2005, the Volito Group began to manage part of its interest rate risks using interest rate swaps. The hedging relating to 32% of the debt portfolio in the Volito Fastigheter AB group is managed with swaps, something that gives the company a higher degree of flexibility in terms of future debt management.
Volito Fastigheters booked value in outstanding rate swaps as per 31 December amounts to SEK 179 150 (137 650) K. Per 31 December the fixed rates varies between 2,28% (1,78%) and 4,13% (3,29%) and the floating interest rate is STIBOR 3 months when borrowing in SEK.

Audit report
To the annual meeting of the shareholders of Volito ABCorporate identity number 556457-4639
We have audited the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts on pages 29-53, the accounting records and the administration of the board of directors and the managing direc-tor of Volito AB for the year 2006. These accounts and the administration of the company and the application of the Annual Accounts Act when preparing the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts are the responsibility of the board of directors and the managing director. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual accounts, the consolidated accounts and the administration based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the ac-counts. 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 and consolidated ac-counts as well as evaluating the overall presentation of information in the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts. As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, we exa-mined 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. We 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 As-sociation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion set out below.
The annual accounts and the consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and give a true and fair view of the company’s and the group’s fi-nancial 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 and the consolidated accounts.
We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the income statements and ba-lance sheets of the parent company and the group be adopted, that the profit of the parent company 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.
