In comparison to H1 2013, alstria achieved an increase in its letting result of around 20,000 sqm.

A key letting achievement was the lease prolongation and partial lease-up of additional office space to an existing tenant in Ditzingen, Siemensstraße. The lease is due to mature in December 2019 and encompasses around 10,200 sqm of office and ancillary space. Another letting success was the initial lease to a new tenant in Essen, Bamlerstraße. The tenant signed a seven-year contract for around 9,700 sqm of office and ancillary space. The new lease will start in the third quarter of 2015 and will replace an expiring contract.

The nonetheless negative change in this vacancy rate mainly results from the lease expiry of the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund (approx. 21.000 sqm) in the property in the Darwinstrasse, Berlin in May 2014.

Tenants and regions

One of the main characteristics of alstria's portfolio is its focus on a set number of major tenants in selected core regions. Furthermore the portfolio reflects alstria's clear focus on office properties. 96%* of the total lettable area is office space.

Earnings position

Revenues

Revenues slightly decreased, especially due to the portfolio streamlining completed in 2013, to EUR 51,472 k in the first half-year of 2014 (compared to EUR 52,156 k in the first half-year of 2013).

Real estate operating expenses

Real estate operating expenses amounted to EUR 5,589 k or 10.9% of total revenues during the reporting period (H1 2013: EUR 4,038 k or 7.7% of revenues). The increase mainly results from a scheduled fire protection measure concerning a property in Hamburg.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses remained almost steady at EUR 2,566 k (H1 2013: EUR 2,687 k).

Financial result

The net financial result marginally improved by EUR 27 k from EUR –17,790 k to EUR –17,763 k as compared to the first half-year of 2013.

Valuation result of financial derivatives

The valuation result concerning financial derivatives amounted to EUR –17,572 k in the period from January 1 to June 30, 2014 (please refer to chapter 3 for further details).

2) (A)FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles, in particular IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to the Company's income or cash flow measures as determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, there is no standard definition for (A)FFO. Thus, the (A)FFO or measures with similar names as presented by other companies may not necessarily be comparable to alstria's (A)FFO.

3) The AFFO is equal to the FFO with adjustments made for capital expenditures used to maintain the quality of the underlying investment portfolio.

Consolidated net result

The consolidated net result amounted to EUR 6,845 k (H1 2013: EUR 29,027 k) in the period under review. The decrease mainly resulted from a valuation loss in financial derivatives due to the interest rate development (H1 2014: EUR 17,572 k; H1 2013: EUR 2,819 k). Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.09 for the first six months of 2014.

Overall, ineffective changes (EUR –12,964 k), losses on hedges not qualified for cash flow hedging (EUR –2,249 k) and reclassifications of an amount of EUR 2,359 k, result in a total loss of EUR 17,572 k (H1 2013: gain of EUR 2,819 k), which is shown as net result from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives. The reclassification amount of EUR 2,359 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 loans in question.

For a detailed description of the hedging instruments, please refer to the appendix of the consolidated financial report as at December 31, 2013.

Financial

Cash position

Cash position declined from EUR 82,782 k to EUR 49,936 k in the reporting period. The major factor was the dividend payment in an amount of EUR 39,467 k, which was partly compensated by the positive cash flow resulting from current operating activities.

Risk and opportunity report

The risks and opportunities to which alstria is exposed are described in detail in alstria's Annual Report 2013. There have been no changes to the situation as presented in that report, respectively.

Recent developments and financial targets

alstria proactively focuses on the following financial key performance indicators: revenues and funds from operations (FFO).

Revenue is mainly comprised of rental income, which derives from the leasing activities of the Company. FFO is the operating result from real estate management, excluding valuation effects and other adjustments such as non-cash expenses/income and non-recurring effects.*

The statements and forecasts made in the Group management report 2013 with respect to the expected development of the Group for the financial year 2014 have not changed. For fiscal year 2014, the Company is expecting forecasted revenues of around EUR 102 m and an FFO of around EUR 47 m. The increase in FFO as compared to the FFO of EUR 45 m as achieved in 2013 is mainly due to the Company's new financing structure, which results in lower financing costs.

Disclaimer

The management report contains statements relating to anticipated future developments. These statements are based on current assessments and are, by their very nature, exposed to risks and uncertainty. Actual developments may differ from those predicted in these statements.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

Ω as at June 30, 2014

1 Corporate information

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 following new standards and amendments to published standards were issued after December 31, 2013, and are therefore not included in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013:

IFRS 14 'Regulatory deferral accounts'

New standard issued on January 30, 2014. The standard permits an entity, which is a first-time adopter of International Financial Reporting Standards to continue to account, with some limited changes, for 'regulatory deferral account balances' in accordance with its previous GAAP, both on initial adoption of IFRS and in subsequent financial statements. Regulatory deferral account balances, and movements in them, are presented separately in the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and specific disclosures are required. IFRS 14 applies to an entity's first annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Since alstria is not a first-time adopter of IFRS the standard has no impact on the financial reporting of the Group.

IFRS 15 'Revenues from contracts with customers'

The new standard IFRS 15 was issued on May 28, 2014 and applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2017. IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter shall recognise revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures.

The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. Apart from the additional disclosures, no impact on the net assets, financial and earnings position of the Group is expected.

Amendments to IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements'

The amendments to IFSR 11 relate to the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations. It clarifies the accounting treatment in the event that these shares constitute a business. The amendments were published on May 6, 2014. They are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Group does not expect an impact on its reporting resulting from the amendments.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 'Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation'

The amendments were issued on May 12, 2014 and relate to the clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation. The revenue based depreciation method is not an acceptable depreciation method under IAS 16. Impacts on the Group's financial position and results of operations are not expected.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 'Agriculture: bearer plants'

The amendments were issued on June 30, 2014 and add bearer plants, which are used solely to grow produce, to the scope of IAS 16. There will be no impact on the Group's financial accounting.

4 Consolidated Group

There have been no changes to the consolidated Group since the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.

5 Key judgements and estimates

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 and the disclosure of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates.

6 Notes to the consolidated income statement

6.1 Personnel expenses

The personnel expenses shown in the profit and loss account totalling EUR 3,748 k (January 1 to June 30, 2013: EUR 3,046 k) include accrued bonuses in an amount of EUR 624 k (January 1 to June 30, 2013: EUR 623 k). Furthermore, personnel expenses of EUR 264 k (January 1 to June 30, 2013: income of EUR 93 k) relating to a share-based compensation granted to the management are included (see Note 11), as are expenses for a share-based compensation resulting from convertible profit participation rights granted to employees of an amount of EUR 387 k (January 1 to June 30, 2013: EUR 253 k).

6.2 Financial result

For details on the net financial result and the loan development, please refer to the section 'Financial and asset position' in the interim management report on page 6.

Notes

6.3 Income taxes

As a consequence of its status as a G-REIT, alstria office REIT-AG is exempt from German corporation tax (Körperschaftsteuer– KSt) and German trade tax (Gewerbesteuer – GewSt). Minor tax payment obligations may arise for affiliates serving as a general partner of a partnership or REIT service companies.

7 Notes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet – Assets

7.1 Investment property

alstria office REIT-AG uses the fair value model pursuant to IFRS 13 for revaluation purposes. External appraisals were obtained for the value-determination as at December 31, 2013. A management review of fair values as at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2014 resulted in a fair value increase of a total of EUR 16,535 k for investment properties held on December 31, 2013. This amount relates to capitalised expenditure, which was invested in refurbishment and project developments in the first half-year of 2014. For a detailed description of the asset value determination process, please refer to section 7 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.

A reconciliation of the properties held as investment properties since December 31, 2013, can be found in the interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2014 on page 7.

7.2 Cash and cash equivalents

As at June 30, 2014, EUR 251 k of total cash and cash equivalents (EUR 49,936 k) are subject to restrictions. The amount corresponds to accrued interest obligations and other amounts, which the Company may not freely dispose of.

8 Notes to the consolidated income statement

8.1 Equity

Please refer to the consolidated statement of changes in equity for details.

Share capital

The conversion of profit participation rights (Note 12) in the second quarter of 2014 resulted in the issue of 85,000 new shares by making use of the conditionally increased capital provided for such purposes (Conditional Capital III 2012). As a result alstria office REIT-AG's share capital increased by EUR 85,000 and amounted to EUR 79,018,487 on June 30, 2014, represented by 79,018,487 non-par value bearer shares.

The majority of the shares in the Company are in free float.

Treasury shares

On June 30, 2014, the Company held no 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 is determined to be an effective hedge. The net changes for the increased valuation of derivative financial instrument amount to EUR 99 k. An amount of EUR 2,359 k relates to reclassifications of cumulated devaluations of cash flow hedges, for which the forecasted hedged transactions are no longer expected to occur due to the redemption of loans prior to maturity.

8.2 Financial liabilities

As at June 30, 2014 alstria's total interest-bearing debt, which mainly consists of loan balances drawn and the convertible bond, amounted to EUR 906,312 k (December 31, 2013: EUR 913,892 k). The lower carrying amount of EUR 890,041 k (EUR 885,563 k non-current and EUR 4,478 k current) takes into account interest liabilities and transaction costs which are to be allocated under the effective interest method upon the raising of liabilities. Financial liabilities with a maturity of up to one year are recognised as current loans.

The issue volume resulting from the convertible bond loan amounted to EUR 79,400 k and is included in the financial liabilities in full.

For a detailed description of the loans, loan terms and loan securities, please refer to the 'Financial management' section in the interim Group management report for the second quarter of 2014 (on page 8.) and Section 11.2 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013.

8.3 Derivative financial instruments

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, an embedded derivative resulting from the issue of the convertible bond is included.

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 9 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 measurement approach. This, however, only applies to the Group's financial derivatives, as there are no other financial instruments that 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.

10 Employees

In the period from January 1 to June 30, 2014, the Company had an average of 62 employees (January 1 to June 30, 2013: average of 59 people).

On June 30, 2014, 61 people (December 31, 2013: 63 people) were employed at alstria office REIT-AG, excluding the Management Board.

11 Share-based remuneration

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 shortterm component, the Short-Term Incentive Plan (STI). The remuneration is comprised of both a cash-settled and share-based payment transaction, respectively.

The development of the virtual shares until June 30, 2014 is shown in the following table:

In the first half-year of 2014, the LTI and the STI generated remuneration expenses of a total balance of EUR 264 k (H1 2013: income of EUR 93 k) and, at the end of the reporting period, provisions amounting to EUR 1,006 k (December 31, 2013: EUR 2,397 k). Income generated in the first half year of 2013 resulted from the reversal of provisions for the share-based remuneration resulting from changes in the market data based on which the share-based remuneration is calculated. The Group recognises liabilities arising from the vested virtual shares in other provisions. Please refer to section 18 of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013 for a detailed description of the employee profit participation rights programme.
