    Notes to the consolidated financial statements General Regulatory framework: Pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Social Housing Decree applicable to accredited institutions, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 9, Book 2, of the Netherlands Civil Code, with various specific exceptions. Included in the Guidelines for Annual Reporting in the Netherlands is Guideline 645 Officially Recognised Social Housing Institutions, containing a more detailed interpretation of the accounting standards. This Guideline also contains specific formats for the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. Guideline 645 exclusively governs matters specific to the sector. All other matters are governed by the generally applicable accounting guidelines. Accounting policies General The accounting policies used for the valuation of assets and liabilities and for the determination of results are based on historical cost unless otherwise mentioned. An important component, tangible fixed assets in operation, is measured at current value based on the value in use. Unless otherwise stated, assets and liabilities are included at face value. An asset is recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the company and its value can be reliably measured. A liability is recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that settlement thereof will be accompanied by an outflow of resources and the amount thereof can be reliably measured. The financial statements include both legal liabilities and constructive liabilities quantifiable as having been ‘internally formulated and externally communicated’. A constructive liability is linked to a decision-making and communication process connected with property development and restructuring. Income is recognised in the profit and loss account when an increase in the economic potential, associated with an increase in an asset or a decrease in a liability, has occurred, the amount of which can be reliably measured. Expenses are recognised when a decrease in the economic potential, associated with a decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability, has occurred, the amount of which can be reliably measured. If a transaction results in all or almost all of the future economic benefits and all or almost all of the risks relating to an asset or a liability being transferred to a third party, the asset or liability ceases to be included in the balance sheet. Assets and liabilities are also derecognised as and when the requirements of probability of future economic benefits and reliability of measurement cease to be satisfied. Income and expenses are attributed to the period to which they relate. Income is recognised if the company has transferred all significant risks to a purchaser. The preparation of the financial statements requires that management form judgements and make estimates and assumptions affecting the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of income and expenses. The actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are constantly reviewed. The effect of revised estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods affected by the reappraisal. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements contain the financial information of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot and its group companies and other legal entities over which the company has control. Group companies are participating interests in which the company has a controlling interest or is able to influence policy on some other basis. The group companies are included in full in the consolidation with separate recognition of minority interests. Proportional consolidation is applied in the case of participating interests in alliances where the company has the same influence on policy as each of the other participants (joint ventures). Newly acquired participating interests are included in the consolidation from the date on which control is obtained. Participating interests which are disposed of are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, as are profits within the Group. The consolidated entities are: 6

The consolidated financial statements also include the owners’ associations in which Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot has a controlling interest. Financial instruments Financial instruments in the case of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot comprise receivables included in financial fixed assets and in current assets , cash and long-term and current liabilities. Financial instruments are recognised at fair value on initial recognition, including directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial instruments are carried at amortised cost. In the absence of any premium or discount and directly attributable transaction costs, the amortised cost is equal to the face value. A provision for bad debts is recognised in respect of receivables as necessary. As regards the amount of the deferred tax asset, reference is made to the section on Tax. In addition, in the case of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot, financial instruments also include derivatives. Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognised in the profit and loss account. Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot uses interest rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risks, to which cost-based hedge accounting is applied. Hedge accounting at cost results in the following exception to the accounting policies relating to derivatives stated above. Using the cost-based hedge accounting model, the amount of a derivative on initial recognition, its subsequent carrying amount and its treatment in the profit and loss account depend on the exposure being hedged. This means that, if the hedged position is carried at cost, the amount of the derivative is also measured at cost and, as long as the hedged position remains on the balance sheet, any gains and losses on the derivative are not recognised. Using cost-based hedge accounting satisfies the requirements set forth in CAR 290. Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot uses cost-based hedge accounting for the interest-rate derivatives used to convert certain floating-rate loans into fixed-rate loans. Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot also uses cost- based hedge accounting for the interest rate derivatives used to hedge future financing transactions, on condition that it is highly probable that these transactions will become a reality. The gains and losses on the ineffective part of a hedge relationship are recognised in the profit and loss account. If an interest rate derivative ceases to satisfy the conditions for hedge accounting, matures or is sold, the hedging relationship is ended and the accumulated gain or loss is transferred to the profit and loss account. Property in operation The property in operation is carried at current value based on the value in use. Value in use is understood to mean the net present value of the future proceeds from operations less the net present value of the future operating expenses over the estimated remaining life of the individual let properties. A more comprehensive explanation of the way in which the value in use is calculated and properties are allocated to complexes for this purpose can be found further on in the notes to the financial statements. Any increase or decrease in the current value over the year is recognised in the profit and loss account as movements in the current value of tangible fixed assets. 7

    Property under development This concerns the projects under development for letting purposes. The carrying amount is measured at cost, including construction period interest costs plus project preparation and management costs, less an estimated provision for costs not covered and for other risks. If the recognised provision exceeds the capitalised costs on a particular project, the excess is included as provisions for property under development on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. Property and other assets serving operations The property and other assets serving operations are carried at cost less depreciation. The two head offices, on Sarphatistraat and on Bos en Lommerplein, are depreciated using the annuity method, based on a useful life of 50 years. The Bos en Lommerplein building was sold at the end of 2010. Fixtures and fittings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10–20 years. Equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 5–10 years. Participating interests Participating interests in group companies and joint ventures are carried at net asset value. In calculating the net asset value, the accounting policies of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot are applied. If the net asset value is negative, the amount is recognised in the provisions for participating interests on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. Participating interests where Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot has no significant influence are carried at cost or a lower amount, as necessary. Materials Stocks of materials are measured at the most recently paid purchase prices less a provision for obsolescence. Stock of unsold homes/land and development positions The land and development positions are carried at the price paid plus associated expenses. As and when actual development starts, the assets are transferred to property under development/work in progress. If the land and development positions become impaired to such an extent that their fair value is less than the capitalised costs, the impairment loss is taken to the profit and loss account. The stock of unsold homes concerns new housing completions and is carried at the lower of cost, including construction period interest and project preparation and management costs, and expected selling price.Work in progress This concerns the projects under development for the purpose of sale. The carrying amount is measured at cost, including construction period interest costs plus project preparation and management costs, less an estimated provision for costs not covered and for other risks. Profit is recognised in equal measure to the production of the homes which have been sold. Sales are recognised on project completion. Advance payments received are deducted from work in progress. If advance payments exceed the capitalised costs on a particular project, the excess is included in current liabilities. Statutory reserve for participating interests A statutory reserve for participating interests is formed for accumulated profits or capital gains which are not distributable. Loans No repayments are made on loans contracted in the past under the Dutch ‘dynamische kostprijshuursysteem’ and not the full amount of the interest due is paid either (loans with increasing principal) as long as the associated operation of the assets generates operating losses originally costed under the system. For the duration of this period, the loan principal is increased each year by a previously calculated amount. 8

    Rents Presented under this heading is the income under the terms of tenants’ leases. Rents are increased annually within the limits prescribed by law, as decided by Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot. Charges This concerns payments received from tenants for the supply of energy and in respect of service charges. Proceeds from sales of property The proceeds from the sale of newbuild owner-occupied housing are recognised on completion of an entire project or project phase and are made up of the invoiced instalments less discounts and net of value-added tax. The profit on the rented housing sold is recognised at the time of legal handover (conveyance). Change in work in progress The recognition of production relating to newbuild owner-occupied housing is in equal measure to the progress of the project. Profit recognition reflects the production of the homes sold. The change in work in progress is made up of the recognised costs and profits for the year relating to the newbuild owner-occupied housing less the invoiced instalments on the completed homes for sale. Costs of subcontracted work Costs of subcontracted work concerns the costs incurred on the newbuild owner occupied housing projects. Other movements in the value of tangible and intangible fixed assets Included here are the unprofitable investments relating to property in operation (purchases and renovation) and property under development. Wages and salaries/pensions At the beginning of 2009, the Council for Annual Reporting in the Netherlands published a new draft guideline, Guideline 271.3, concerning pensions, the requirements of which were optionally applicable with immediate effect. The basis of the new draft guideline is that, for all pension schemes, the pension charges to be recognised should in principle be the same as the amount of the pension contributions payable unless there were additional liabilities as at balance sheet date. Application of the new guideline did not result in any change in the accounting policies compared with the previous accounting treatment of pensions. Basically, the recognised pension charges for the year are equal to the pension contributions payable to the pension fund in respect of the period concerned. If the contributions payable have not been paid on the balance sheet date, a corresponding liability is recognised. If the contributions already paid as at balance sheet date exceed the amount of the contributions due, a prepayment is recognised if there will be any repayment by the pension fund or if the amount overpaid will be set against future contributions. In addition, a provision is recognised as at balance sheet date for existing additional liabilities vis-à-vis the pension fund and the employees if it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle those liabilities and the amount of the liabilities can be reliably estimated. The existence of additional liabilities is assessed by reference to the terms of the administrative agreement with the pension fund, the pension agreement with the employees and other explicit or implicit commitments to the employees. The amount of the provision is based on the best estimate of the net present value of the amounts needed to settle the liabilities as at balance sheet date. If the pension fund has a surplus as at balance sheet date, a corresponding asset is recognised if such surplus is at the company’s disposal, it is probable that the surplus will accrue to the company and the amount of the asset can be reliably measured. Maintenance costs The maintenance costs include all costs of work carried out in the year in connection with day-to-day maintenance, changes of tenant, contract repairs and planned maintenance. The expense concerned does not lead to an increase in value of the asset. 9

    Finance income and expense The net figure is the balance of interest payable and receivable plus commission charges, costs of guarantees and results on interest rate swap contracts and the capitalised interest. Also accounted for in this item are changes in value of the income from financial assets and securities. Corporation tax The tax on the results comprises both current tax and deferred tax. The current tax relates to the expected tax liability on the result before tax, taking account of tax facilities, including the agreement with the Dutch Tax Administration establishing the tax liability and non-allowable expenses, and applying the standard tax rates as at balance sheet date and any adjustments in the tax liability relating to prior years. Tax is deducted from losses if there are profits from preceding years against which the loss can be set and this will result in a tax recovery. Tax is also deducted if it is reasonable to assume that it will be possible to set the loss against future profits. Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates expected to be applicable when the temporary differences lapse and the tax loss carryforwards are utilised, and recognised at net present value (discount rate 6%). Movements in the current value of tangible fixed assets The gains and losses in the value of the property in operation are recognised directly in the profit and loss account. Cash flow statement The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. This method involves adjusting the net result in respect of items in the profit and loss account which do not affect cash inflows and outflows during the year, changes in balance sheet items and items in the profit and loss account where the income and expenditure is not considered to be connected with operations. The cash position shown in the cash flow statement is made up of the cash balance less overdraft borrowing. A distinction is made in the cash flow statement according to operating, investing and financing activities. The cash flows connected with financing are also split into cash flows relating to the principal (included in cash flow from financing activities) and interest payments (included in cash flow from operating activities). 10

    Contingent liabilities 1 Investment commitments Not included in the balance sheet are newbuild and renovation project commitments totalling approximately €66 million relating to rented housing and housing for the owner-occupied market. 2. Ground rent liabilities in respect of existing housing stock A proportion of the property is built on leasehold land. In the case of new housing developments built since 1976, the long lease has been purchased. The annual ground rent payable on the other leasehold properties amounts to €2.4 million. 3. Part-buy part-rent The total exposure on part-buy part-rent homes sold based on 2010 repurchase prices as at year-end 2010 amounted to in excess of €3.9 million. 4. Interest rate derivatives Four derivative contracts were concluded in 2010, totalling €103 million. Three swaps were used in connection with the restructuring of our derivatives portfolio, enabling us to reduce our interest charges. The fourth swap contract serves to hedge the cash flow risk on a floating-rate loan. The entire derivatives portfolio as at 31 December 2010 amounted to €723.7 million (consolidated). The average interest rate on the payer swaps is 4.08%. The value of the interest rate swaps, both receiver and payer, as at 31 December 2010 was €86.6 million negative. The caps have a value of €1.9 million positive. 5. DIGH loan guarantee Stadgenoot has given a guarantee amounting to €4.7 million for the repayment of loans from the foundation Dutch International Guarantees for Housing. The foundation uses the funds from this loan to support housing projects in Suriname (in partnership with Stichting Brasa). For further information regarding financial support for institutions outside the Netherlands in 2010, reference is made to the directors’ report. 6. Vesteda profit-sharing rights In 2005, Stadgenoot transferred the beneficial ownership of 108 rented social housing units on the Drie Wachters development to Vesteda. In connection with this transfer, Stadgenoot has a right to share in Vesteda’s profits. The profit-sharing right concerns a proportion of the profit on the sale of the Vesteda homes in the development. Since sharing in the profit depends on a decision to sell by Vesteda and the timing of such sale cannot be estimated with any certainty, the profit-sharing right has not been recognised in the balance sheet. 7. Liability Stadgenoot bears joint and several liability for strategic alliances without definite legal personality and in the form of general partnerships (joint ventures). 8. Far West Far West is a joint initiative on the part of the Amsterdam housing associations Woonstichting De Key, Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot, Woningstichting Rochdale and Stichting Woonmaatschappij Amsterdam. The renovation projects of the four contributing housing associations in the Westelijke Tuinsteden district are being executed by Far West on behalf of the contributing housing associations. 9. Commitment to provide capital for Waarborgfonds Sociale Woningbouw As at 31 December 2010, the exposure of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot to provide capital in connection with the guarantees given by Waarborgfonds Sociale Woningbouw amounted to €59 million. The committed capital can be called if it is found that WSW’s capital base is insufficient to meet the guarantee claims upon WSW. 10. NCT-Beheer guarantee Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot has given a guarantee in respect of its share (19%) in New China Town C.V. This guarantee was taken over by Houdstermaatschappij Stadgenoot BV on 25 May 2010. 17


  • Page 18

    Houdstermaatschappij Stadgenoot BV guarantees up to 19% of the liabilities arising in connection with a loan, the principal of which totals a maximum of €70 million (Stadgenoot guarantee: €13.3 million), contracted by New China Town C.V. As at 31 December 2010, an amount of €64 million had been drawn down under this facility. 11. Loan servicing guarantee At the time of contracting the loan, Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot gave a guarantee in connection with a loan granted by FGH Bank N.V. to BLP 1 Properties B.V. covering 25% of the interest and repayment obligations. On 30 December 2010, Stadgenoot took over the position of Woningstichting Rochdale in Forum Bos en Lommer Beheer B.V. and, in doing so, assumed the guarantee obligations of Rochdale vis-à-vis BLP 1 Properties B.V., meaning that, with effect from 30 December 2010, Stadgenoot is guaranteeing a total of 50% of the interest and repayment obligations. The total amount of the loan is €28 million and it falls due on 31 December 2011. 12. Tax group Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot together with its subsidiaries forms a tax group for corporation tax and value-added tax purposes. The Stadgenoot tax group for corporation tax comprises the following companies: • Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot • Houdstermaatschappij Stadgenoot BV with its subsidiaries NV Stadsgoed with its subsidiary Stadsgoed Monumenten BV, BV Huismeesters van het Oosten, Het Oosten Monumenten BV, Stadgenoot Vastgoedbedrijf BV and Exploitatiemaatschappij Kadehotel BV. • Stadgenoot Diensten BV with its subsidiaries: Stadgenoot Energie BV, Stadgenoot Participaties II BV • Stadgenoot Projecten BV with its subsidiaries: Stadgenoot Ontwikkeling BV with its subsidiaries Nieuw Amerika Ontwikkeling BV, Houthavens Ontwikkeling BV, Gershwin Ontwikkeling BV and Polderweg Ontwikkeling BV and Stadgenoot Maritiem BV The Stadgenoot tax group for value-added tax comprises the following companies: • Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot • Houdstermaatschappij Stadgenoot BV with its subsidiaries NV Stadsgoed with its subsidiary Stadsgoed Monumenten BV, Het Oosten Monumenten BV and Stadgenoot Vastgoedbedrijf BV • Stadgenoot Ontwikkeling BV 18

    Notes on the current value of the consolidated balance sheet 1. Introduction Stadgenoot measures the tangible fixed assets in operation using a form of current value, namely the value in use. Value in use provides Stadgenoot with an important tool for managing the value of the property portfolio and taking the right investment decisions. The value in use is given by the net present value of the future income from operation over the estimated remaining useful life of the let property. The value in use is calculated complex by complex and represents the future earning capacity of each complex. 2. Cause for changes in parameters Stadgenoot decided the basis of the calculation of value in use for the opening balance sheet in 2008. No material changes were made by Stadgenoot for the reporting period. WSW did, however, issue guidelines on the parameters to be applied which did result in adjustments. 3. Parameters The following paragraphs discuss the main parameters for Stadgenoot’s value in use calculations. A distinction is made in this context according to the following organisational elements of Stadgenoot: • Stadgenoot at company level: §3.1–3.7 • N.V. Stadsgoed (wholly-owned subsidiary): §3.8 • N.V. Amsterdamse Compagnie (subsidiary with 66.7% ownership): §3.9. 3.1 Discount rate and earning power value adjustment The discount rate applied reflects the minimum required return on the investments in tangible fixed assets, this being also specifically stated in the accounting standards (CAR 121.324). A discount rate reflecting the current market interest rate and the specific risks attaching to an asset is the minimum rate of return that would be demanded by investors when considering an equivalent investment in terms of cash flow, time horizon and risk. In the case of Stadgenoot, the following general principles apply: • The higher the risk, the higher the required rate of return; • Apart from the market for rented social housing (with its own investors, representing a certain risk and yielding a specific return), the Amsterdam housing association sector is also involved in a separate market for commercial property (letting of business/industrial premises and homes in the deregulated rental market). Finally, there is a separate discount rate applicable to garages and car parks. With effect from the 2010 financial statements, the discount rate has been reduced from 6.00% to 5.25% at the instigation of WSW, the inflation factor included in this figure having been reduced from 2.25% to 2.00%. Having regard to the requirements of the accounting standards and other considerations, it has been decided to use the standard discount rate, based on 2.00% inflation, for the next five years. The real discount rate will subsequently be applied for the period from the sixth year onwards. Finally, the interest on the funding side is accounted for separately by means of an earning power value adjustment. This has the advantage of ignoring short-term influences due to interest rate volatility and that both the long-term minimum return requirement and the effect of current interest rates on the portfolio are treated separately. The above can be presented in tabular form as follows: 25

The wage inflation figure for 2011 has been taken from the CLA increase. For the ensuing years, the percentages have been extrapolated on a straight line to 2.00%. The rate of inflation for property prices used as the basis for the selling prices of the existing housing stock has been taken as being equal to the price inflation figure with a reduction of half a percentage point. The estimated rate of wage inflation in 2011 is higher than last year, with a lower estimate for ensuing years. The estimated rate of price inflation for 2011 is higher than last year, with a lower estimate for ensuing years. Estimated property price inflation is lower than last year for all years.

There is therefore no capital expenditure on maintenance included in the value in use. Replacement investments no longer figure in the system because they are now part of the maintenance costs, which are included in the carrying amount for the remaining life of the property. For the approach to cash flow, the distinction between maintenance costs and replacement investments is not relevant. It was recently decided, in view of their nature, no longer to include some of the maintenance costs (ad hoc repairs, maintenance on change of tenant and planned maintenance) in the value in use. Work of this nature is now therefore treated as expansion investment. Cash flows relating to disposals are included in the calculation for a period of five years, as required by the accounting standards. The following table shows the net proceeds from sale and the number of homes sold each year. Net sales proceeds represents the selling price less costs, such as refurbishment costs and costs of dividing properties. Out of Stadgenoot’s total number of rental units (33,562), 7,859 are included in a ‘sales pool’ from which 26


  • Page 27

    homes are sold to both sitting tenants and private buyers. This does not, however, imply that all these homes will ultimately be sold since it is Stadgenoot’s general policy that not more than 49% of the number of units in a particular complex can be sold off. Sales are only included in the calculation for the first five years. No sales are included in the value in use from the six-year onwards, even if a formal decision to sell has been taken.

The same system will be applied to the 2011 rent increase. With effect from 1 July 2011, the level of social housing rents will be adjusted in line with the inflation rate for 2010. That means a maximum rent increase for social housing in the coming year (1 July 2011–30 June 2012) of 1.3%. This has been laid down in a government decision. No decisions have yet been taken for the years beyond this and we are therefore applying the same figure. Section 5.4 describes the effect in financial terms of this inflation linked policy for the level of rents. As in the preceding year, the restriction on the number of homes in the core housing stock has again been abandoned. Last year, separate figures were still used for the percentage of lost rent for the Residential Property Business Unit and for the Commercial/Civic Property Business Unit. For calculating the value in use in 2010, the distinction was made between rented social housing, deregulated rented housing, commercial/business property and car parks. As in previous years, the value in use for 2010 takes account of different rates of tenant turnover according to dwelling units, garages and business premises. 3.5 Maintenance and remaining useful life The remaining useful life of the portfolio as at year-end 2010 is 26.6 years, representing an average increase of 0.2 years compared with 2009. For a large proportion of the properties, the useful life has declined by one year. The addition of 564 newbuild units and the completion of 19 upgraded units returned to operation had a minor moderating effect on the change in remaining useful life. A minimum life of 30 years is used for complexes included in the sales pool. This is the same as was used for the 2009 value in use. Also accounted for in the value in use for 2010, as in preceding years, are the demolition plans. The existing useful life has also been revised to take account of planned upgrading of properties and, where applicable, the useful life has been increased on completion of improvements. Again in 2010, planned maintenance is based on a long-term maintenance plan for each complex. The basis for this maintenance plan is a visual inspection of the state of repair of a complex (condition measurement), leading to a decision regarding the maintenance expenditure which is needed to achieve the remaining useful life and vice versa. In this way, the planned maintenance expenditure on a complex and the useful life of that complex are interlinked. 3.6 Average cash flows per rental unit Stadgenoot analyses its cash flows at individual asset level. Standard amounts are only used if there is no apparent relationship between asset and costs. To increase the insight into the value in use, we have calculated the average cash flows per rental unit over a period of five years. 27

    Average cash flows per rental unit per annum Stadgenoot (at company level) 2010 2009 Rents 5,214 5,107 Lost rent 152 149 Planned maintenance 703 785 Ad hoc repairs 219 290 Work connected with changes of tenant 99 197 Work connected with social needs / quality of life 82 31 Corporate expenses 375 351 Administrative expenses 1,048 1,023 Notes on significant changes • Average rental income increased largely as a result of the annual increase (1.2% on average with effect from 01-07-10) and the effect of harmonisation of rents. • The figure for lost rents was revised upwards slightly on the basis of improved insight. • Planned maintenance was slightly down, with considerably lower figures for ad hoc repairs and work connected with changes of tenant. This drop was partly due to the fact that the Property Division was included in Stadgenoot (company) with effect from 2010 whereas it was previously a subsidiary. This resulted in the transfer of costs from maintenance to administrative expenses. Improved insight also meant that certain costs are now treated as investments. Work connected with social needs / quality of life was increased but, overall, maintenance costs were adjusted downward. • Corporate expenses were higher overall. There was a reduction in ground rents as a result of allowing for the purchase of long leases on lease expiry, in line with City of Amsterdam policy, but there was an increase in tax and insurance, for which an upward adjustment was made, based on budget figures. • Administrative expenses were higher, owing to the incorporation of the Property Division into Stadgenoot (company). 3.7 Allocation to complexes In preparing their financial statements, housing associations are required to adhere to the provisions of Part 9, Book 2, of the Netherlands Civil Code, Guideline 645, among other standards. Guideline 645 was made more stringent, the new stipulations being applicable with effect from the 2004 financial statements. They include the requirement that the allocation to complexes for the purposes of calculating the value in use should reflect: • internal management structures • policy with regard to specific product/market combinations (consistency of policy). Within Stadgenoot, management of the portfolio in relation to future value is based on the different areas into which the Amsterdam market is divided. The allocation to complexes has been revised accordingly for calculating the value in use, with a new allocation being adopted for Stadgenoot. The two housing associations, AWV and Het Oosten, each have their own allocation to complexes for calculating their value in use. The allocation used in the opening balance sheet for 2008 was the same as that used in 2010. A change in the allocation to different complexes, incidentally, does not affect the amount of the value in use. 3.8 Subsidiary N.V. Stadsgoed N.V. Stadsgoed is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stadgenoot, with property concentrated in the centre of the city. Stadsgoed applies the same parameters as Stadgenoot for calculating the value in use. With effect from the 2006 financial statements, Stadsgoed reduced the risk markup for business premises from 1.25% to 0.75%. The risk profile of the business premises in the centre of Amsterdam is very different from 28


  • Page 29

    that of business premises elsewhere in the city or in other urban centres. This is mainly due to the relative scarcity of business premises, especially in the segment of the market in which Stadsgoed operates, namely that of small business premises and buildings housing several businesses. Other factors taken into account in the reduction of the risk markup were the low level of lost rents, the good state of repair of the property and the low turnover of tenants due to the acceptable level of normal market rents. 3.9 Subsidiary N.V. Amsterdamse Compagnie N.V. Amsterdamse Compagnie a subsidiary in which Stadgenoot has a 66.7% stake, the remaining 33.3% being owned by the City of Amsterdam. The object of this organisation is to provide small-scale business premises. In pursuing this object, Amsterdamse Compagnie attempts to improve the quality of life in a particular district wherever possible and necessary. N.V. Amsterdamse Compagnie applies the same parameters as Stadgenoot for calculating the value in use. 4. Overall picture of the tangible fixed assets in operation Summarising, the current value of the tangible fixed assets in operation in 2010 and 2009 was as follows: Tangible fixed assets in operation, in millions of euros 2010 2009 Difference Stadgenoot (company) 1,939.2 1,883.9 55.3 N.V. Stadsgoed 120.3 111.7 8.6 Amsterdamse Compagnie 21.7 21.5 0.2 Stadgenoot (consolidated) 2,081.2 2,017.1 64.1 5. Analysis of differences Compared with 2009, there was an increase of €64.1 million in the tangible fixed assets in operation. An analysis of the differences reveals the various movements in the value in use. The separate causes of these movements are presented in the following table and discussed below. Position as at 31-12-2009, 2,017.1 in millions of euros Step 1: organic changes -21.9 Step 2: movements in housing stock 60.5 Step 3: changes in parameters 114.2 Step 4: policy changes -0.3 Step 5: earning power value adjustment -97.2 Step 6: subsidiary N.V. Stadsgoed 8.6 Step 7: subsidiary Amsterdamse Compagnie 0.2 Position as at 31-12-2010 2,081.2 5.1 Organic changes: €21.9 million negative Step 1 shows the effect of organic changes in 2010, moving forward 12 months (to year-end 2010). The change in value is explained by the removal of cash flows in 2010 (€116.3 million negative) which is only partially offset by the effect of moving the remaining cash flows one year closer (€94.4 million). The remaining useful life of the complexes still averages 27 years. At this stage of the life-cycle, the value in use is generally seen to increase. In this case, however, that is not the picture. The cash flows removed from the equation in 2010 have a greater impact than the effect of discounting all future cash flows over a period that is shorter by one year. This is due to the absence of a substantial cash flow in the form of sales proceeds (€51.4 million). Overall, the effect of organic changes is to reduce the value in use by €21.9 million. 29


  • Page 30

    The 2010 value in use figure, incidentally, also includes the expected sales for 2015 (the fifth year), since Stadgenoot proceeds on the basis of a sales pool which is replenished each year. The adjustments in the expected sales for the period 2011–2014 are also accounted for in the value in use. This effect is included in step 4, policy changes. 5.2 Movements in housing stock: €60.5 million positive Disposals: €1.4 million negative The projection was for 340 homes to be sold whereas in reality disposals totalled 253. In addition, 11 car parks were sold and 17 units, 10 homes and 7 business premises were transferred to a subsidiary of Stadgenoot. Also, as part of an exchange, 40 homes and 2 business premises were sold. The homes actually sold were, for the most part, not those included in the projections. This obviously depends on what actually happens during the year. The overall effect on the value in use was a drop of €1.4 million. New additions to the housing stock: €48.1 million positive New rental units were also brought into operation in 2010. Newbuilds totalled 583 rental units, including 19 units returned to the operating stock following completion of improvements, and purchases totalled 18 rental units. The value in use of newbuilds and purchases amounts to €47.3 million and €0.8 million, respectively. Improvements: €12.6 million positive Various properties were upgraded in 2010, resulting in additional rent increases, extensions to the useful life and/or extra WWS (home valuing scheme) points. The number of rental units involved is 1,018. The improvements concerned did not involve taking the rental units out of operation. Demolition: €1.2 million positive 150 fewer rental units were demolished in 2010 than had been expected. The expected figure was 735, whereas in reality 585 were demolished. The effect was to lift the value in use by €1.2 million. 5.3 Changes in parameters: €114.2 million positive The parameter changes stem from a change of view with regard to the future in relation to the various parameters that are important in the calculation of the value in use. We are not talking about policy changes at this stage but about the projected rate of inflation, discount rate and useful life. Indexation increases: €1.3 million positive The estimated rate of wage inflation is higher in the first year and lower in subsequent years than one year ago. The estimated rate of price inflation for 2010 and 2011 is higher than one year ago and lower thereafter. The estimated property price inflation rate is lower than last year for all years. The value in use increases by €1.3 million as a result of these changes affecting indexation. Discount rate: €112.0 million positive The discount rate applied by Stadgenoot varies per product, owing to risk markups. With effect from the 2010 financial statements, the discount rate has been lowered from 6.00% to 5.25% at the instigation of WSW. The inflation factor included in this has been reduced from 2.25% to 2.00%. Compared with the preceding year, a different discount rate has also been applied to a small number of rental units. There has been no change in the risk markups. The value in use increases by €112.0 million as a result of these adjustments. Useful life: €0.9 million The remaining useful lives of the complexes have been increased overall, rising from 26.4 to 26.6 years. Although the useful life is basically shorter by one year on the existing stock, 564 newbuild units with a remaining life of 50 years have the effect of increasing the average useful life. The value in use rises by €0.9 million as a result of the revised useful life. 5.4 Policy changes: €0.3 million negative Finally, apart from the altered assumptions for the parameters, changes in policy for 2011 and beyond also give rise to a change in the value in use. Rent policy: €2.8 million negative 30


  • Page 31

    The government has decided that the level of rents in the social housing sector in 2011 should be increased in line with inflation, as was the case in 2010. The social housing sector rent policy used in calculating the value in use is based on the rate of inflation for all years, as it was for the previously calculated value in use. For the other categories of rented properties, the rent policy is likewise inflation-linked. As in the preceding year, the Commercial/Civic Property Business Unit is also applying an inflation-linked rent policy. The actual level of rents is on average lower than projected and WWS (home valuing scheme) points have been adjusted accordingly. Overall, these factors have a negative effect of €2.8 million. Lost rent: €2.2 million negative Previously, a figure of 4.8% was taken into account by the Commercial/Civic Property Business Unit and 2.5% by the Residential Property Business Unit for loss of rental income. Under the new policy, allowance is made for lost rent in respect of four different products: rented social housing (2.21%), deregulated rented housing (4.60%), business premises (2.45%) and car parks (38.00%). Overall, the value in use falls by €2.2 million as a result of these adjustments. Operating expenses: €65.3 million positive The following comments can be made with respect to operating expenses: • There was an increase in administrative expenses bearing on the value in use, mainly as a result of the transfer of Vastgoed BV to Stadgenoot (company), the overall effect of which was to reduce the value in use by €18.4 million. As regards the expenses of the development operations, a distinction is now made between selling activities and the other activities. Only the selling activities are now included in the calculation of the value in use, resulting in an increase in the value in use of €21.9 million. The expenses relating to the other activities are still included in the long-term plan but do not affect the value in use. • Ground rent: The value in use rises by €10.4 million. More long leases being purchased meant there was a reduction in the amount of ground rent payable, which had the effect of lifting the value in use. This development is in line with City of Amsterdam policy. • Tax and insurance: More costs have been included in the calculation, leading to a reduction in the value in use of €16.1 million. This results from an increased estimate of these costs for 2011 compared with the 2010 estimate. • Maintenance: The projected maintenance costs are lower than in the preceding year, resulting in an increase in the value in use of €67.5 million. The figures used for maintenance on change of tenant and ad hoc repairs were lower, having the effect of lifting the value in use by €37.3 million and €59.8 million, respectively. The figures used for maintenance and work relating to social needs/quality of life were higher, having the effect of reducing the value in use by €3.2 million and €26.4 million, respectively. This includes the effect of transferring Vastgoed BV to Stadgenoot (company), with the associated shift from maintenance costs to administrative expenses. It was recently decided, in view of their nature, no longer to include some of the maintenance costs (ad hoc repairs, maintenance on change of tenant and planned maintenance) in the value in use. Work of this nature is now therefore treated as expansion investment. The overall effect is to increase the value in use by €67.5 million. Investments and disposals: €60.6 million negative • Stadgenoot proceeds on the basis of a sales pool which is replenished each year. Sales over the next five years are included in the calculation, with the first year which is removed from the sales equation in connection with organic changes replaced by the addition of one year. The value in use in 2009 took into account 2,037 disposals and the 2010 figure took into account 1,455, or 582 fewer. The sales falling out of the equation in 2010 totalled 340, for the period 2011–2014, 582 fewer sales were included in the calculation and, for 2015, 340 fewer. In this step, therefore, 242 fewer sales were included in the calculation, resulting in a negative impact of €43.8 million. • The value of demolitions was up by €8.9 million. The 2009 value in use included 1,114 demolitions and the 2010 figure 910, some being different from the properties scheduled for demolition. The lower volume of demolitions results in a higher value in use, owing to the resultant increase in the average useful life, with an increased cash flow on balance. • The residual value at the end of the useful life increases by €21.6 million, chiefly as a consequence of now including the purchase of long leases on expiry of the lease, in line with City of Amsterdam policy. Where 31


  • Page 32

    ground rent is still payable, the long lease is also purchased when properties are added to the sales pool. The resultant increase in the purchase of long leases leads to a higher residual value, since this figure is largely made up of the value of the purchased leasehold when properties reach the end of their life. • The allowance for purchase of long leases, as already mentioned, has been adjusted upwards, resulting in a reduction in the value in use of €47.3 million. 5.5 Earning power value adjustment: €97.2 million negative The decrease in the earning power adjustment is due to organic changes (approximately €10 million) and the lowering of the discount rate by 0.75 of a percentage point. The combined effect of these two factors overshadowed completely the positive result of €18 million achieved by raising new loans and careful portfolio management. The earning power value adjustment fell overall by €259.1 million to €161.9 million. 5.6 Subsidiary N.V. Stadsgoed: €8.6 million positive Like Stadgenoot, the wholly-owned subsidiary N.V. Stadsgoed measures its assets at current value. Compared with 2009, there was an increase of €8.6 million in the tangible fixed assets in operation. An analysis of the differences reveals the various movements in the value in use. The separate causes of these movements are presented in the following table and discussed below. Position as at 31-12-2009, 111.7 in millions of euros Step 1: organic changes 1.4 Step 2: movements in housing stock 5.0 Step 3: changes in parameters 9.9 Step 4: policy changes -6.7 Step 5: earning power value adjustment -1.0 Position as at 31-12-2010 120.3 Organic changes: €1.4 million positive The remaining useful life of the complexes still averages more than 40 years. The organic change in value is due to the different timings of the calculation of the value in use (31-12-2009 and 31-12-2010). Cash flows between these dates are removed and the remaining cash flows move one year closer. Therefore, even with no change in the portfolio, the same policy and unchanged parameters, the value in use will be different. The movement due to organic changes in 2010 was €1.4 million positive. Movements in housing stock: €5.0 million positive 17 rental units were purchased in 2010, increasing the value in use by €4.8 million. One rental unit was returned to operation following redevelopment, resulting in an increase in the value in use of €0.2 million. Changes in parameters: €9.9 million positive For years 2011 and beyond, slightly lower indices have been applied. This has a small negative effect on the net present value of the rental income and increases the operating expenses. Overall, the value in use falls by €0.1 million on the basis of the latest economic forecasts. The discount rate used for the first five years has been adjusted from 6.00% to 5.25%. Beyond the five-year horizon, the discount rate reflects the real interest rate, which has also been adjusted downwards by 0.5 of a percentage point. The new discount rate has the effect of increasing the value in use by €9.8 million. Policy changes: €6.7 million negative The actual rents as at year-end 2010 are slightly lower than projected, added to which, the lost rent percentage has been increased for 2011 and 2012. The combined effect of these two changes is to depress the 32


  • Page 33

    value in use by €2.0 million. Lower expenditure has been budgeted for planned maintenance in the years ahead, increasing the value in use by €1.9 million. Finally, higher estimates for operating expenses produce a negative movement in the value in use of €6.6 million. Earning power value adjustment: €1.0 million negative The earning power value adjustment fell by €1.0 million. 5.7 Subsidiary Amsterdamse Compagnie(66.7%): €0.2 million positive Like Stadgenoot, N.V. Stadsgoed measures its assets at current value. Stadgenoot’s share in Amsterdamse Compagnie N.V. is 66.7%. Compared with 2009, there was an increase of €0.2 million in the tangible fixed assets in operation. An analysis of the differences reveals the various movements in the value in use. The separate causes of these movements are presented in the following table and discussed below. Position as at 31-12-2009, 21.5 in millions of euros Step 1: organic changes 0.4 Step 2: movements in housing stock 0.0 Step 3: changes in parameters 0.8 Step 4: policy changes 0.1 Step 5: earning power value adjustment -1.1 Position as at 31-12-2010 21.7 Organic changes: €0.4 million positive The total net cash flow in 2010 that was included in the value in use calculation as at year-end 2009 (the cash flow removed) amounted to approximately €0.8 million. The positive effect of all the remaining operating cash flows beyond 2010 moving one year closer is €1.2 million. The effect of the organic changes is a function of the remaining useful life of the complexes in continued use by the company. Movements in housing stock: €0.0 million There were no changes in the housing stock. Changes in parameters: €0.8 million positive The parameters based on the economic indices from 2009 have been replaced by the parameters from 2010. This means that the calculation uses slightly lower indices for the years 2011 and beyond. Overall, the negative effect of a lower rate of price inflation on the sales proceeds has the biggest impact, causing the value in use to fall by €0.2 million. The change in the discount rates has the effect of increasing the value in use by €1.0 million. The discount rate used for the first five years has been reduced by 0.75 of a percentage point. Beyond the five-year horizon, the discount rate reflects the real interest rate, which has also been adjusted downwards by 0.5 of a percentage point Policy changes: €0.1 million positive There have been various policy changes, with a minor impact on the value in use. A small proportion of the staff costs and overheads is now allocated to operation of the property portfolio, following the introduction of new activities in 2010. A change in the policy on disposals results in the inclusion of 308 sales of rental units, 116 more than in the preceding year. The effect on the value in use is nil. 33


  • Page 34

    Earning power value adjustment: €1.1 million negative The organic changes lead to a drop in the earning power value adjustment of €0.1 million. A change in the parameter used for the calculation makes a further reduction in the earning power value adjustment of €1.0 million, resulting in the combined reduction of €1.1 million. 6. Reconciliation of the movements in tangible fixed assets in operation on the face of the balance sheet and the movements in the current value of property in operation recognised in the profit and loss account The relationship with the amount recognised in the profit and loss account is presented as a movement in value of €27.9 million, made up as follows: tangible fixed assets in operation Stadgenoot NV Amsterdamse Stadgenoot in millions of euros (company) Stadsgoed Compagnie NV (consolidated) Balance sheet movements 55.3 8.6 0.2 64.1 Investments -58.5 -5.2 -0.2 -63.9 Disposals 27.6 0.0 0.0 27.6 Movements in value in the profit and loss account 24.4 3.4 0.0 27.9 34

    Other information Report by the independent auditors Two: the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot Statement concerning the financial statements We have audited the 2010 financial statements of Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot, Amsterdam, as included in this report. These financial statements consist of the consolidated and company balance sheets as at 31 December 2010, the consolidated and company profit and loss accounts for 2010 and the consolidated cash flow statement for 2010 together with the notes, including a summary of the principal accounting policies for financial reporting and other notes. The management’s responsibility The management of the officially recognised housing institution is responsible for preparing the financial statements, which are required to present a true and fair view of the assets, equity and liabilities and results, and for producing the directors’ report, both pursuant to the provisions relating to the financial statements and the directors’ report included in Section 26, subsection 1, of the Rented Social Housing Sector Management Decree, Guideline 645 published by the Council for Annual Reporting in the Netherlands and the Act governing the Disclosure of Top Level Rewards in Publicly Funded Sectors. The management of the officially recognised housing institution is also responsible for internal control systems deemed necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements free of material misstatements due to fraud or error. The auditors’ responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, including Dutch auditing standards and the audit protocol under Heading A in Annex III of the Rented Social Housing Sector Management Decree. This obliges us to observe the standards of professional behaviour expected of us and requires us to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes performing activities to obtain audit information on the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The precise activities to be performed depend on the auditors’ professional judgement including their assessment of the risks of material misstatements due to fraud or error. That assessment takes account of the internal control system relevant to the presentation of a true and fair view of assets, equity and liabilities and results in the financial statements in order to be able to make a proper decision concerning the appropriate audit activities in the particular circumstances but not with the object of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the officially recognised housing institution’s internal control system.

Established 2006 Activities Eerste Amsterdamse Gebiedsonderneming (EAG) coordinates the planned activities of Stedenfonds. It was decided at the end of 2009 to wind up the activities of EAG. EAG will not be assuming any new obligations but will continue in existence as long as there are any rights and obligations under existing contracts. This mainly concerns guarantee commitments under turnkey purchase contracts. EAG’s management contracts have been taken over by the shareholders.

Far West Established 2000 Activities Far West is an association and officially recognised housing institution with three members: Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot, Woonstichting De Key and Woningstichting Rochdale. The members have transferred the beneficial ownership of homes, business premises and car parks/secure basement storage spaces to Far West in connection with the joint integrated Westelijke Tuinsteden district area development in the City of Amsterdam. Management remains in the hands of the transferring housing associations. Against the background of the current economic crisis, the Council of Members decided in October 2010 to wind up the Far West association and to transfer the economic ownership back to the members by dividing up the assets. The operating apparatus of Far West was largely dismantled at the end of March 2011. The members will be using the whole of 2011 to facilitate the return of the property in a managed fashion, including all the legalities.

(in liquidation) Established 2001 Activities Kristal was a property development organisation for six housing associations in the urbanised west of the Netherlands (Randstad). Partly as a consequence of the economic recession, the six housing associations have restricted scope for investment. Management, the Supervisory Board and shareholders of Kristal NV therefore decided to terminate the activities of Kristal NV on 30 September 2010.

    Stichting Duurzaamheidsbarometer Established 2009 Activities The Foundation was set up by five housing associations (Woonbron, Tiwos, HaagWonen, SWZ and Stadgenoot), who have together developed the ‘Barometer’ as a tool for measuring sustainability in collaboration with Stichting Natuur & Milieu. This tool allows a picture to be obtained of the status and the development of the housing stock from the sustainability point of view. The methodology takes into account five aspects of sustainability, viz. future value, health, energy, use of materials and water. The participating associations began working with the Barometer in the first half of 2009, applying it to a number of complexes for the purpose of gaining experience. Management Woningbouwvereniging Stadgenoot, Woningstichting SWZ and Stichting Woonbron. Internal supervision - V.O.F. Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid Established 2005 Activities The district known as Kolenkitbuurt is a redevelopment area. Stadgenoot (AWV) and Far West finalised the Implementation Plan (Uitwerkingsplan (UWP) Zuidelijk Veld) in 2005. The plan is based on the demolition of all the homes in the area, totalling more than 700. AWV and Far West continued their partnership in 2005 by establishing a joint venture (VOF Kolenkitbuurt-Zuid), with the central object of completing the entire Implementation Plan, sharing the risks and costs on a joint basis. Of the five planned phases of the UWP Zuidelijk Veld scheme, demolition has taken place in Phase I and rebuilding is in full swing. The first homes are due for completion after the end of summer 2011. The go-ahead was given for Phase II at the end of 2010. In view of the economic circumstances, however, the JV has put the demolition/rebuilding work on hold provisionally for two years. The partners are still convinced of the quality of the development and are determined to stick to the original concept of the UWP scheme, albeit with a slower pace of implementation. In order to give the scheme the maximum chance of success, the successor to Far West will become a partner in the JV, which has district development company status (WOM status), conferring exemption from tax on conveyancing of property.

    N.V. Stadsgoed Established 1999 Activities The area of operation of NV Stadsgoed covers a large portion of central Amsterdam, between the Singelgracht canal and the waterfront on the IJ. This zone includes sensitive areas in which the quality of life is sometimes severely compromised. In these areas, Stadsgoed buys up rundown property or property with undesirable uses and/or sector involvement, frequently dealing with criminal parties. Typical examples are Geldersekade, Prins Hendrikkade, Nieuwendijk, Amstel/Amstelstraat, Vijzelstraat and the Wallen. Stadsgoed’s goal is to develop an attractive, varied and lively inner-city for Amsterdam affording good quality of life. Buildings need to be well maintained and visitors need to be stimulated by attractive small businesses in a safe environment. Stadsgoed attempts to achieve these goals by renovating and/or restoring the premises it buys before redeveloping them for the desired type of use in partnership with committed users. In 2010, Stadsgoed carried out work, for example, on the premises purchased in 2009 on Damrak. The new hotel ‘The Exchange’ is expected to be opened in the summer of 2011. Hotel The Exchange is an initiative of Lloyd hotel in close partnership with Stadsgoed and marks the first step on the road to an improved and prettier Damrak. Stadgoed staff are employed by Stadgenoot and are seconded to N.V. Stadsgoed. Shareholders Houdstermaatschappij Stadgenoot BV (100%). Management J.A. Wiggers (employed by Stadgenoot).

Established 2005 Activities Object of this organisation is to create small-scale business premises. In its projects, Amsterdamse Compagnie strives to improve the quality of life in the locality where possible and desirable. The company makes use of the capacity and expertise possessed by its shareholders. It accordingly requires only a small staff, who are seconded to it from Stadgenoot. With effect from 1 January 2011, the City of Amsterdam has stopped its investment grants for the creation and transformation of small-scale business premises. This has implications for Amsterdamse Compagnie’s possible purchases / investment horizon. The General Meeting of Shareholders now intends to explore other possibilities for stimulating purchasing policy. In 2010, with the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders, Amsterdamse Compagnie added a new activity to its portfolio, namely the provision of services to third parties by letting small-scale business premises on the Stadgenoot campus Sarphatistraat. 46

Established 2005 Activities Ontwikkelingscombinatie Polderweggebied VOF was set up to develop the Oostpoort area (previously known as Polderweggebied). This central district in the Eastern sector of the city is destined to become a lively, urban, traffic-free neighbourhood, with intimate squares and streets inviting visitors on a journey of discovery. The first buildings have already been completed. The development of Oostpoort involves three subzones: - Oostpoort West - Oostpoort Central - Oostpoort East In Oostpoort West, a large underground car park is to be built with space for around 874 cars, on top of which will be a shopping centre and approximately 350 new homes. The underground parking facility will provide both a public car park and private parking spaces, cycle parking areas and secure storage areas. Above ground, the buildings will have commercial use at ground level and in some places at first-floor level, with rented social housing apartments and apartments for owner occupation in the upper storeys. The commercial property in Oostpoort West has been sold to the investor in the shopping centre and the public section of the underground parking. The social rented housing apartments with their associated parking spaces are to be taken over by Stadgenoot and Ymere at cost. The apartments intended for sale together with their associated parking spaces are to be taken over and marketed by OCPmarket, a backstop being provided by the partners (each with a 33% stake) in case any apartments remain unsold 12 months after completion. In Oostpoort East, the plan was to build the Danshuis. However, on 9 February 2011, Stadgenoot and Stichting Danshuis Amsterdam terminated their partnership. Stichting Danshuis Amsterdam what unable to sign the lease because an important future tenant of this proposed centre for professional dance companies and partner in the scheme had unexpectedly backed out, putting an end to the Danshuis project. Preparations for the start of construction were at an advanced stage, the building permit had been granted and site preparation had already been completed. The development consortium Ontwikkelingscombinatie OCP and Stadsdeel Oost are exploring the possibilities of rapidly finding an alternative use for the Danshuis project. The preference is for a plan which fits in as closely as possible with the existing design of the building and the building permit which has been issued for it. Oostpoort Central includes a large number of facilities. In addition to the new business district of Stadsdeelkantoor, there will be all kinds of functions of a cultural, sporting and educational nature. Some of these facilities are already in use. 49
