In comparison to the first three months of 2014, alstria successfully increased its letting activities (in terms of new leases and lease renewals) by approximately 3,500 sqm.
A significant letting success was the initial lease to a new tenant in Berlin, Darwinstraße. The tenant signed an 11-year-lease for approximately 4,800 sqm of office and ancillary space. The lease will commence on December 1, 2015.
Furthermore, alstria contracted a new tenant for an asset in Hofmannstraße, Berlin, for approximately 1.700 sqm of office and ancillary space. The lease will commence on June 1, 2015.
Another main characteristic of alstria's portfolio is that it focusses on a small number of major tenants.

In addition, the portfolio reflects alstria's clear focus on a particular asset class: office properties –95%* of the total lettable area is office space.
* Office and storage space.
Revenues amounted to EUR 24,072 k in the first three months of 2015 and, as expected, decreased as compared to the prior year period (Q1 2014: EUR 25,934 k ). This development was mainly caused by the expiry of leases with respect to assets in Darwinstraße, Berlin and Hoffmannstraße, Munich. As a result net rental income declined by EUR 1,563 k to EUR 21,925 k.
Real estate operating expenses amounted to EUR 2,083 k during the reporting period (Q1 2014: EUR 2,436 k). The expense ratio decreased from 9.4% in Q1 2014 to 8.7% in Q1 2015. This is mainly due to a fire-protection measure regarding an asset located in Hamburg, which was carried out in 2014.
Administrative expenses improved by EUR 164 k to EUR 1,066 k during the reporting period (Q1 2014: EUR 1,230 k).
Personnel expenses increased by EUR 1,104 k to EUR 3,163 k as compared to the prior year quarter due to the remuneration for virtual shares which increased by EUR 1,172 k from EUR 360 k to EUR 1,532 k. The reason for this increase is the significantly positive development of the stock price of alstria office REIT-AG's shares in the first quarter of 2015.
Other operating result amounted to EUR 685 k in the first three months of 2015 (Q1 2014: EUR 2,172 k). Other operating income of the previous year period was mainly driven by a one-time compensation payment in conjunction with the expiry of a lease. In the current reporting period alstria received fewer compensation payments.
Real estate operating expenses
Due to a further decreasing interest rate level and a lower average amount of outstanding loans alstria's net financial result improved by EUR 769 k from EUR –9,019 k to EUR –8,250 k as compared to the first quarter of 2014.

The valuation of financial derivatives resulted in net loss from fair value adjustments in an amount of EUR –20,450 k in the period from January 1 to March 31, 2015 (please refer to page 10 for further details). An amount of EUR 19,909 of this valuation loss is attributable to the derivative embedded in the convertible bond. The reason for this is the strong development of alstria's share price, which increases the market value of the potential re-payment obligation in the event of conversion of the convertible bond. This is reflected in the negative fair value of the embedded derivative.

alstria's consolidated net result amounted to EUR –10,532 k (Q1 2014: EUR 4,017 k) in the period under review. The decrease mainly resulted from a valuation loss in financial derivatives due to current interest rate developments on the one hand and the distinctly positive development of alstria office REIT-AG's share price on the other hand (Q1 2015: EUR –20,450 k; Q1 2014: EUR –9,958 k). In addition, revenues as well as other operating result declined and personnel expenses increased. Earnings per share amounted to EUR –0.13 in the first three months of 2015. Consolidated net result

Overall, ineffective value gains (EUR 633 k), losses on hedges not qualified for cash flow hedging (EUR –20,214 k) and reclassifications of an amount of EUR 869 k, resulted in a total loss of EUR 20,450 k (Q1 2014: loss of EUR 9,985 k), which is shown as the net result from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives. The reclassification amount of EUR 869 k relates to the cumulated losses from cash flow hedges for which the initially hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, due to a premature repayment of the loans in question.
For a detailed description of the hedging instruments, please refer to the appendix of the consolidated financial report as at December 2014.
Cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 63,145 k to EUR 163,487 k in the reporting period. The increase resulted primarily from the capital increase carried out during the quarter, leading to a cash inflow of EUR 101,440 k after deducting paid placement costs of EUR 1,285. Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of EUR 4,845 k, whereas a positive cash flow of EUR 7,532 k was generated from operating activities.

1) Is defined as total equity divided by the carrying amount of immovable assets. Minimum requirement according to G-REIT regulation: 45%.
The increase in equity at the balance sheet date by EUR 92,145 k to EUR 938,738 k is mainly based on a placement of 7,901,847 new no-par bearer shares in March 2015. Due to this capital increase equity increased by EUR 101,386 k. This development was partially offset by the loss of the reporting period of EUR 10,532 k (for further information please refer to the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the corresponding notes).
The risks and opportunities to which alstria is exposed are described in detail in alstria's Annual Report 2014. There have been no changes to the status presented in that report.
alstria proactively focuses on the following key financial performance indicators: revenues and funds from operations (FFO). Revenue is mainly comprised of rental income, which is generated from the letting activities of the Company. FFO is the operating result due to the Company's real estate management, excluding valuation effects and other adjustments such as non-cash expenses/income and non-recurring effects.*
The statements and forecasts presented in the Group management report of 2014 concerning the expected development of the Group for the financial year 2015 are still valid. For the fiscal year 2015, the Company is still expecting forecasted revenues of approximately EUR 98 m and an FFO of approximately EUR 49 m. The increase in FFO as compared to the FFO of EUR 48 m as achieved in 2014 is mainly due to the Company's financing/hedging structure, which results in lower financing costs.

alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg, (hereinafter referred to as the 'Company' or 'alstria office REIT-AG' and, together with its subsidiaries, as 'alstria' or the 'Group'), is a German stock corporation based in Hamburg. The Group's principal activities are described in detail in section 1 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31, 2014.

These consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not contain all of the disclosures and explanations required in the annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with the policies applied in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ending on December 31, 2014, and as outlined in those annual financial statements.

The IASB did not issue any new standards and interpretations and amendments to published standards and interpretations between December 31, 2014 and the date of preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements.
There have been no changes to the consolidated Group since the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014.
Preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made for various items that have an effect on the amount of and the disclosures concerning assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates.
| EUR k | January 1 – March 31, 2015 |
January 1 – March 31, 2014 |
6.1 Personnel expenses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salaries and wages | 941 | 957 | |
| Social insurance contribution | 179 | 176 | |
| Bonuses | 310 | 317 | |
| Expenses for share-based compensation |

| Amounts for retirement provisions and disability insurance of the mem bers of the Management Board |
49 | 53 | |
| Other | 23 | 41 | |
| Total | 3,163 | 2,059 |
The increase in personnel expenses resulted from the remuneration due to virtual shares that increased by EUR 1,172 k from EUR 360 k to EUR 1,532 k as compared to the first quarter in 2014. The reason for this increase is the significantly positive development of the stock price of alstria office REIT-AG's shares in the first quarter of 2015. Expenses due to the share-based remuneration resulting from virtual shares are not paid out until the time of exercise at each end of the term, respectively.
The actual cash amount of such remuneration therefore depends on the further development of the share price. Adjusted for sharebased compensation the personal expenses decreased by EUR 68 k.
Minor tax payment obligations may arise on affiliate level for affiliates serving as a general partner of a partnership or REIT service companies.

alstria office REIT-AG uses the fair value model pursuant to IFRS 13 for revaluation purposes. External appraisals were obtained to determine the respective values as at December 31, 2014. A management review of the fair values on as at March 31, 2015, i.e. the reporting date of the consolidated interim financial statements, resulted in a fair value increase of a total of EUR 5,824 k for investment properties held on December 31, 2014. This amount relates to capitalised expenditure, which was invested in refurbishment and project developments in the first three months of 2015. For a detailed description of the asset value determination process, please refer to section 7 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014. A reconciliation of the properties held as investment properties since December 31, 2014, can be found on page 8 of the interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2015.
In the first quarter of the year alstria office REIT-AG signed a notary agreement on the sale of a plot of land forming part of an existing investment property. As at March 31, 2015 the plot of land valued at EUR 1,000 k is incorporated in 'assets held for sale'.
Cash and cash equivalents in an amount of EUR 163,487 k refer to cash at banks. The cash amount is not subject to any restrictions.
7.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Please refer to the consolidated statement of changes in equity for details. 8.1 Equity
A total of 7,901,487 new shares were issued for cash considerations and increased alstria office REIT-AG's share capital by EUR 7,901,487. The capital increase was registered in the commercial register on March 26, 2015. Share capital
Two shares of a notional amount of EUR 200 k in the convertible bond issued by the company were converted in the first quarter of 2015. The conversion resulted in an issue of 20,382 new shares by using the conditionally increased capital provided for such purposes (Conditional Capital 2013).
In total and due to the two capital measures stated above, the alstria office REIT-AG's share capital increased by EUR 7,922,229.00 to EUR 86,940,716.00 as compared to December 31, 2014. It is represented by 86,940,716 non-par value bearer shares as at March 31, 2015.
The majority of the Company's shares are in free float.
The new shares generated from the capital increase were offered at the capital markets and sold at a price of EUR 13.00 per share. The issue proceeds by which the nominal share capital was exceeded amounted to EUR 94,822 k and were recognised in capital reserves. After having deducted placement costs of EUR 1,339 k caused by the share placements, the increase of the capital reserve amounted to a net EUR 93,483 k. Capital reserve
The share premium resulting from the partial conversion of the convertible bond amounted to EUR 243. It was also transferred to the capital reserve.
On March 31, 2015, the Company held no treasury shares. Treasury shares
Cash flow hedging reserve This reserve includes the cumulated portion of the gain or loss on hedging instruments within the cash flow hedge that has been determined to be an effective hedge. The net change of EUR 869 k relates to reclassifications of cumulated devaluations of cash flow hedges, for which the forecasted and hedged transactions are no longer expected to occur due to a redemption of loans prior to their maturity.
As at March 31, 2015 alstria's total interest-bearing debt, which mainly consists of loan balances drawn and the convertible bond, amounted to EUR 891,101 k (December 31, 2014: EUR 895,086 k). The lower carrying amount of EUR 877,043 k (EUR 874,053 k non-current and EUR 2,990 k current) takes into account interest liabilities and transaction costs which are allocated according to the effective interest method upon taking out the liabilities in question. Financial liabilities with a maturity of up to one year are recognised as current loans.
After having exercised of the conversion rights for a notional value of EUR 200 k, an amount of EUR 79,200 k of the convertible bond remains included in the financial liabilities.
For a detailed description of the loans, loan terms and loan securities, please refer to the 'Financial liabilities' section in the interim Group management report for the first quarter of 2015 (see page 9) and Section 11.2 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014.
Derivative financial instruments are comprised of interest swaps and caps. The purpose of these financial derivatives is to hedge against interest risks arising from the Company's business activities and its sources of financing. In addition, they comprise an embedded derivative resulting from the issue of a convertible bond.
The fair value of the derivative financial instruments was determined by an independent expert by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market interest rates.
For a more detailed description of the Group's derivative financial instruments and the presentation of their fair values please refer to page 7 and page 10 of the interim Group management report.
All of the Group's financial instruments, which are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value, are valued by applying the level 2-valuation approach. This, however, only applies to the Group's financial derivatives, as none of the other financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value determination of the Group's financial derivatives is based on forward interest rates, which are derived from observable yield curves.

At alstria office REIT-AG's Annual General Meeting which is to be held on May 06, 2015 the Management Board and Supervisory Board will propose to pass resolution on distributing dividends in a total amount of EUR 43,470 k (EUR 0.50 per outstanding share).
In the period from January 1 to March 31, 2015, the Company on average employed 62 employees (January 1 to March 31, 2014: average of 62 people).

A share-based remuneration system was implemented for members of the Management Board as part of alstria's success-based remuneration. The share-based remuneration is made up of a long-term component, the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI), and a short-term component, the Short-Term Incentive Plan (STI). The remuneration respectively comprises both a cash-settled and a share-based component.
The development of the virtual shares until March 31, 2015 is shown in the following table:
| Number of virtual shares | January 1 – March 31, 2015 |
January 1 – December 31, 2014 |

| As at March 31/ Dec. 31 | 335,740 | 20,516 | 339,516 | 23,831 |
In the first three months of 2015, the LTI and the STI generated remuneration expenses of a total balance of EUR 1,532 k (Q1 2014: expenses of EUR 360 k). In addition they resulted in provisions amounting to EUR 2,386 k at the end of the reporting period (December 31, 2014: EUR 1,490 k). Exercise of 76,702 virtual shares from the LTI and 13,078 virtual shares from the STI in the first quarter of 2015 resulted in payments of EUR 636 k. The Group recognises liabilities arising from vested virtual shares as an item within other provisions. Please refer to section 18 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014 for a detailed description of the employee profit participation rights programme.
