Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Capital Stage AG once again expanded its portfolio of solar parks and wind farms in the second quarter of 2013. In April, it acquired the Ramin solar park in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, which has a capacity of 9 MWp. This was followed by the acquisition of the 8 MWp Olbersleben wind farm in Thuringia in May. The Capital Stage AG portfolio now comprises 30 solar parks and wind farms in Germany and northern Italy with a total capacity of 193 MWp. Our investment strategy continues to focus on solar parks, as these offer a more attractive risk–reward ratio than wind farms.

At the end of June, German solar parks had fallen behind their planned capacities due to the highly adverse weather conditions both in the first quarter and in May. However, an exceptionally sunny July and a very good August have put the company's solar park portfolio back on track in terms of planned capacities. This year once again shows that insolation levels are far less volatile than wind yields and that solar parks therefore have only very moderate fluctuations in their energy output.

At the end of May, Berenberg Equity Research began covering the Capital Stage share, giving it a 'Buy' rating and setting a price target of EUR 5 per share. Together with M.M. Warburg and WGZ, our share is therefore now covered by three renowned rating agencies. Together with these partners, we will continue to communicate Capital Stage's equity story within the capital market as part of our investor relations activities, thereby attracting an increasing number of investors, both nationally and internationally. Furthermore, at the end of June, we executed another minor capital increase, which generated proceeds of about EUR 2.6 million; these funds will now likewise be available for the expansion of our solar park and wind farm portfolio.

Capital Stage AG recorded a sizeable increase in growth in the first six months of 2013. Revenue increased by 30 per cent to TEUR 26,241 year on year, and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased significantly to TEUR 20,137 (2012: TEUR 9,142). Earnings before taxes (EBT) likewise soared to TEUR 12,362 (2012: TEUR 4,537), as did earnings after taxes (EAT), which increased almost threefold to TEUR 11,050 (2012: TEUR 3,840). The balance sheet total increased to EUR 520 million and equity rose to EUR 156 million; this equates to an equity ratio of a good 30 per cent. All these figures demonstrate our company's excellent performance.

Capital Stage AG plays an active part in discussions concerning the energy transition. A sustainable energy supply provided at acceptable costs calls both for renewable energies with their invariably decentralised generation structures and for conventional, more centralised energy generation using modern gas-fired power stations. Renewable energies must and will continue to become more competitive. The cost of installing a solar array is, for example, now 80 per cent lower than it was five years ago. Additional cost savings are required and are also possible. In Germany, too, the number of solar arrays generating attractive returns without any kind of subsidy will continue to increase in the next few years. At the same time, however, operating state-ofthe-art and efficient gas-fired power stations must be financially attractive for the operators, so that they can compensate for the fluctuations in the energy yields generated using renewables.

Above all, however, additional investments in power generation facilities and in the grid infrastructure are needed in order for the energy transition to be a success. In this context, the top priority is reliable framework conditions for the investors who provide the necessary capital. In view of this, we welcome the fact that all of Germany's political parties at the federal and regional government levels have taken a clear stand against retroactive amendments to the subsidies for renewable energies.

Overall, Capital Stage AG is well on its way to achieving the targets set for 2013, and thus maintaining its profitable growth. The Capital Stage share will continue to constitute an attractive option for private and institutional investors alike, offering attractive returns combined with limited risk.

Volatile half year on the stock markets

The main German index DAX experienced a highly volatile second quarter 2013, as the index found no clear direction, being torn between hopes of improving economic performance in Europe and fears of an imminent scaling down of central bank commitments. After the DAX had remained relatively stable during the first quarter, fluctuating around the 7,700-point mark, a surge past the 8,000-point barrier was followed by a sharp fall to a year-to-date low of 7,418 in April. However, by the end of June the index had recovered again, closing on 28 June at 7,959 points. Taking the first half of 2013 as a whole, the index registered an increase of 2.3 per cent. By contrast, the SDAX small caps index experienced a much stronger upwards trend, gaining 9.8 per cent during the first six months of the year.

Meanwhile, contrary to market trends, the Öko-DAX sector index saw a decline of 6.3 per cent, a performance reflecting the specific crisis faced by the solar component manufacturers which figure in the index. In contrast, the renewable energy index RENIXX World, the sector index for worldwide renewable energy industry shares, registered very strong growth of 41.3 per cent during the first half year.

Sound share performance with no special impetus

During the first half of 2013, Capital Stage AG shares retained the high value previously achieved. After a phase of slight weakness during March and April, it stood at EUR 3.93 by the end of June, barely down on the ten-year high of EUR 3.95 chalked up earlier in the period. With no major negative or positive impetus, and with the company's business performance running according to plan, the share thus ended the first six months of the year 3.7 per cent up.

Another occurrence during the first half of 2013 was the addition of the Capital Stage AG share to the Solar Energy Stock Index prepared by investment bank Lincoln International. The share is also quoted on the HASPAX, RENIXX and PPVX indices.

Analysts see potential

The Capital Stage share is currently being covered by Warburg Research, WGZ Bank Research and Berenberg Equity Research, who have set target prices of EUR 4.50, EUR 4.90 and EUR 5.00 respectively, all significantly above the current market price.

Dividend of EUR 0.08 for 2012

The Annual General Meeting resolved to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.08 per share for 2012, a 60 per cent increase from the year before. All other resolutions proposed by the Management Board were also passed by the shareholders with large majorities.

Macroeconomic framework

Overall economic and sector prospects

After a weak start to the year, the German economy is gathering momentum, with the gross domestic product (GDP) during the second quarter of 2013, adjusted for price, season and the number of working days, 0.7 per cent up on the previous quarter. The latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office indicate that the German economy flatlined during the first quarter of the year, after a 0.5 per cent decline in GDP in the final quarter of 2012. Economic performance also improved as compared with the previous year: the price-adjusted second quarter GDP rise came in at 0.9 per cent higher than during the second quarter of 2012, or 0.5 per cent when adjusted for the number of working days.

During the first half of 2013, construction of new photovoltaic installations decreased. Despite this, the expansion target corridor prescribed by German law, on the basis of which remuneration for the electricity produced by photovoltaic installations is calculated, was once again exceeded over the period in question, albeit not to the same extent as previously. According to the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur), newly installed photovoltaic capacity during the first half of 2013 came to 1.80 GWp, which represents a 60 per cent decline as compared with the same period last year (4.40 GWp). However, the figure for that period was distorted by the pre-emptive effect of the anticipated decline in feed-in tariffs from the second quarter of 2012 onwards.

Newly installed capacity in Italy during the first half of 2013 came to 727 MWp. The total Italian solar power output being fed into the national grid thus amounts to around 17 GWp, meaning that the upper limit of EUR 6.76 billion a year in feed-in tariffs was reached in June 2013. As a result, subsidies for new solar parks were officially discontinued on 6 July 2013.

According to the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES), during the first half of 2013, 343 new onshore wind power installations were constructed in Germany, with an installed nominal capacity of 882 MW.

After an annual average of about 1 GW of installed wind power in Italy over the past five years, an expansion target corridor of 250 to 400 MW has been put in place for 2013. The low tariffs on offer exclusively subsidise wind projects with excellent wind resources, thus rendering the allocation of grant funds altogether more efficient than in previous years.

Weather

January and February 2013 were extremely overcast, and May was also very dull, with the German meteorological service recording just 131 sunshine hours, down 33 per cent on the average of 196 hours. At 200 hours, the sunshine figures for June were slightly higher than the long-term average of 198 hours.

As regards wind, the figures from the Germanbased renewable-energy-industry institute (Institut der Regenerativen Energiewirtschaft – IWR) for 2013 indicate that wind strengths thus far this year have fallen some 4.5 per cent short of the five-year average registered between 2008 and 2012.

Legal and political factors

German renewable energy act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz – EEG)

The first half of 2013 was dominated by the debate initiated by the German federal government at the beginning of the year on the issue of electricity price protection and the need for the amendment of the EEG. Among the controversial suggestions raised for discussion was the possibility of cuts in the subsidies already granted for existing photovoltaic installations as well as short-term reductions in EEG remuneration. This led to widespread uncertainty within the industry and consequent delays in the execution of domestic projects.

However, the Energy Summit on 21 March 2013 made clear that there would be no retrospective cuts in subsidies for existing installations, nor would there be any amendment of the EEG or changes to the statutory feed-in tariffs for renewable energy projects before the German general election in September 2013.

Since the introduction of monthly EEG remuneration reductions, the capacity-dependent cuts in tariffs for larger free-standing photovoltaic installations during late 2012 and 2013 have progressed as follows:

Year 2012 2013
Remuneration in
€-cents/kWh
Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul. Aug. Sept. Oct.

Reduction per month
in per cent
2.5 2.5 2.5 2.2 2.2 2.2 1.8 1.8 1.8 1.8 1.8 1.8

From October 2013 onwards, new installations will receive subsidies of less than 10 cents/kWh, thus receiving only slightly more than onshore wind farms, which attract the lowest remuneration rate of 9 cents/kWh. This indicates that electricity produced from solar energy is well on the way to becoming competitive on the open market.

come was the passing on 27 August 2012 of Conto Energia V, which brought in major cuts in the feed-in tariffs. From 2013 onwards, the resultant subsidy system involves an unitary tariff for the volume of energy fed into the grid plus a premium for the supplier's own consumption. For example, during the second semester, the following remuneration rates will apply for installed solar capacities in excess of 1 MW:

P > 5,000 0.112 0.030 0.106 0.024

During the first half year, 3,690 photovoltaic installations were registered, with a total output of 727 MW. The prescribed upper subsidy limit of EUR 6.76 billion for photovoltaic installations was reached in June 2013, heralding the end of the Conto Energia V with effect from 6 July 2013.

In the wake of the Conto Energia, the Italian photovoltaic industry will now operate on the basis of net metering, whereby electricity consumption will be offset against production, combined with tax breaks and electricity purchase agreements. Meanwhile, irrespective of subsidies the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance is forecasting that photovoltaic plants with a total capacity of 1 GW will be installed each year, so that they will account for up to 10 per cent of national electricity production by 2020. In 2012, Italy was already home to the highest proportion of private solar energy installations, which met 5.6 per cent of total electricity needs.

In the medium term, photovoltaics in the Mediterranean region will benefit from falling system prices, given that higher sunshine figures mean the power output per installation in northern Italy is about 25 per cent higher than in Germany. Accordingly, the investment conditions there will remain attractive despite the discontinuation of subsidies, and projects capable of generating attractive returns even without subsidies will become more numerous in future.

Business performance

Overview of business progress

During the first half of 2013, we acquired (incl. closing) one solar park and one wind farm, expanding our overall portfolio to almost 193 MW. The period also saw the closing of three parks acquired in 2012. The Group has generated the funds necessary for the expansion of our business activities through the capital increases carried out in February and June 2013.

The low sunshine figures during winter and spring had a negative impact on our sales revenues for the first half of the year.

The principle highlights of the first half of 2013 were as follows:

The lack of sunshine last winter had a negative impact on our first quarter sales revenues.

Portfolio developments

Photovoltaic parks segment

At the end of the first half of 2013, the solar park portfolio as a whole was about 10 per cent below target. Brandenburg, the largest photovoltaic park in the portfolio (18.64 MWp), in which the Group holds a 51 per cent share, was on target. During the sunny month of July, our photovoltaic parks exceeded their targets by 25 per cent.

The actual power fed into the grid during the first half of 2013 came to 67,502 kWh (2012: 49,683 kWh). This rise is mainly due to the photovoltaic parks newly acquired during the second half of 2012 and the first half of 2013. By 13 August 2013, the volume of power fed into the grid came to 98,745 kWh. As a result, the PV park portfolio in Germany was by that date just 1 per cent below target.

In almost all cases, operation of the installations ran smoothly.

Wind farms segment

On 30 June 2013, the Group operated four wind farms in Germany with a total capacity of 42 MW and one wind farm in Italy with a capacity of 6 MW. Due to adverse weather conditions, the wind power output in Germany was below the longterm average. During the first half of 2013, the actual power fed into the grid totalled 33,587 kWh (2012: 4,240 kWh). In 2012, the wind portfolio comprised just one wind farm.

Solar parks and wind farms acquired during the second quarter of 2013

Solarpark Ramin, Group share: 100%

On 9 April 2013, the Group acquired Ramin Solar Park in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. This is a recently constructed solar park with a capacity of 9 MWp whose commissioning in line with the EEG took place in March 2013. The park was built on a 25-hectare open field site in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania by an experienced general contractor, using inverters and polycrystalline modules produced by top-class manufacturers. The non-recourse fi nancing was provided by a reputable German bank. In future, the park will generate annual revenues of over EUR 1 million and an average return on equity of approximately 15 per cent. Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH will be responsible for the park's operational management. Completion of the contract was subject to various conditions precedent, and its conclusion took place on 17 May 2013.

Wind farm Olbersleben, Group share: 74.9%

On 23 May 2013, an 8 MW wind farm in Thuringia was acquired. The wind farm commenced operations in December 2012. The seller of this installation is Boreas Energie GmbH, from whom the Group had already acquired wind farms in Greussen and Sohland. Boreas Energie GmbH is a highly experienced project planner, which has constructed over 300 wind installations. The wind turbines and installations were manufactured by market leader Vestas. The non-recourse fi nancing was provided by a reputable German bank. Completion of the contract was subject to various conditions precedent, and the installation was included in the consolidated fi nancial statements with effect from 30 June 2013. Accordingly no sales revenues were collected during the fi rst half of 2013.

Photovoltaic parks acquired in the fi rst quarter of 2013

Solarpark Polesine I and II, Group share: 100%

On 21 December 2012, the contracts for the acquisition of two solar parks in the Parma area were signed. Because the transfer of the shares did not come into effect until 17 January 2013, the park has been included in the consolidated fi nancial statements since January 2013. The park will be operated by our subsidiary Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH, Halle.

The parks were completed in March 2012 and have been feeding electricity into the national grid since then. Their annual revenue amounts to around EUR 1.4 million. The solar parks are situated in the province of Parma in the Emilia-Romagna region, in close proximity to another solar park acquired in 2012 by Capital Stage. Furthermore, thanks to 100 per cent equity fi nancing, it has yielded a generous cash fl ow right from the initial stages.

Solarpark Lettewitz, Group share: 100%

On 18 June 2012, the contracts for the acquisition of Solarpark Lettewitz GmbH in Saxony-Anhalt were signed, although this was under conditions precedent – as a result of which the transaction was eventually completed on 15 January 2013. The solar park, which has a capacity of 12.6 MWp, came online at the end of 2012. The park was built on land belonging to the operating company, in view of which operation of the park can continue after the 20-year feed-in remuneration period expires.

Photovoltaic services segment

Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH, Group share: 100%

The total Group-internal operated volume currently amounts to over 135 MWp. The Asperg solar parks have been operated by Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH since their completion in 2008 and 2009, along with the Brandenburg, Lochau and Rassnitz parks since their acquisition in 2011, followed by Krumbach, Bad Harzburg, Roitzsch and Glebitzsch in 2012. During the fi rst half of 2013, the operational management of the Lettewitz, Polesine I and II and Ramin solar parks was added.

In May, October and December 2012, the company took over contracts for the technical operation of parks not belonging to the Capital Stage Group. The parks in question are located in Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Brandenburg. The Group-external operated volume comes to around 13 MWp, and we aim to further expand our technical operations for external third parties.

The company's business progress during the fi rst half of 2013 was highly satisfactory, with an aftertax result on 30 June 2013 of TEUR 528.

Eneri PV Service, Group share: 49%

Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH holds a 49 per cent share in Eneri PV Service Srl, Bolzano, Italy. Eneri PV Service Srl specialises in the technical operation and commercial management of solar power stations in Italy. The company currently operates the fi ve photovoltaic parks acquired by the Capital Stage Group in Tuscany, Umbria and Abruzzi. During the first half of 2013, its business progressed according to plan.

Financial investments segment

Helvetic Energy GmbH, Group share: 100%

Helvetic Energy is a leading supplier of roofmounted solar thermal energy and photovoltaic systems in Switzerland. In 2013, the company celebrated its 25th anniversary. As a developer and supplier of solar energy systems for hot water, heating and electricity, Helvetic Energy GmbH offers a comprehensive range of products and complete systems. It sells its systems via installation and retail partners throughout Switzerland.

Business performance during the first half of 2013 was weaker than during the same period of 2012, the principal reason for which was the long, hard winter, which led to the postponement of installation work.

Results of operations, financial and assets position

Capital Stage Group

Results of operations

During the first six months of 2013, the Group achieved sales of TEUR 26,241 (2012: TEUR 20,097), of which approximately two-thirds (TEUR 17,790) were generated in the second quarter. This is due to the seasonally low number of sunshine hours in the first three months of the year under review. The sales figures comprise grid feed-in revenues of TEUR 22,619 (2012: TEUR 14,482), income from the operational management of third-party parks, and proceeds from the sale of solar thermal energy and photovoltaic installations by Helvetic Energy GmbH. The associated cost of materials came to TEUR 1,751 (2012: TEUR 2,770). The cost of electricity for the operation of the solar parks was TEUR 162 (2012: TEUR 148). Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH's cost of materials was TEUR 27 (2012: TEUR 0.4).

The Group registered other income totalling TEUR 11,490 (2012: TEUR 11,484). Pursuant to IFRS 3, at the times of acquisition of two Italian solar parks, the Lettewitz and Ramin solar parks and the Olbersleben wind farm, the Capital Stage Group carried out a preliminary purchase price allocation in order to incorporate the acquired assets and liabilities into the consolidated financial statements. In connection with this purchase price allocation process, all acquired assets and liabilities of which the Group at that time had knowledge were identified and measured at fair value. This yielded a differential of TEUR 8,585 (2012: TEUR 11,225), which was carried as income for the first six months of 2013. Of this sum, TEUR 2,254 is attributable to the preliminary purchase price allocations effected in the second quarter of 2013 for the Ramin solar park and the Olbersleben wind farm. Other income in the second quarter of 2013 also includes TEUR 2,727 from the amendment of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Greußen and Sohland wind farms.

Additional income was also generated by the reversal of provisions.

Personnel expenses were TEUR 3,087 (2012: TEUR 3,028). This year-on-year increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of the teams at Capital Stage AG and Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH and also to salary adjustments. In the first six months of 2013, TEUR 43 from the share-based payment scheme was carried as personnel expenses (2012 TEUR 15). This item arose from the measurement of the options at their fair values on their respective dates of issue; it covers both the fourth and fifth tranches of the 2007 programme and also the first tranche of the 2012 programme.

As of 30 June 2013, the Capital Stage Group employed 64 people excluding the management board (2012: 58).

Other expenses amounted to TEUR 3,925 (2012: TEUR 2,500). Ongoing business expenses mainly comprise the costs of the solar parks and wind farms (TEUR 2,145). These included the general cost of erecting the installations, repair and maintenance costs, insurance premiums and land leases. Also included here is the cost of wind farm commercial management and technical operation services provided by companies not forming part of the Group. Other operating expenses also include the cost of ongoing operations (TEUR 907), premises costs (TEUR 282) and costs incurred for due diligence and expert advice (TEUR 213).

During the first six months of 2013, the Group thus generated EBITDA of TEUR 28,779 (2012: TEUR 23,135).

Depreciation and amortisation in the amount of TEUR 8,642 (2012: TEUR 13,993) mainly comprises scheduled depreciation of the photovoltaic and wind power installations as well as the amortisation of intangible assets (electricity feed-in contracts).

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) totalled TEUR 20,137 (2012: TEUR 9,142).

Financial income of TEUR 750 (previous year: TEUR 311) resulting from the fixed deposit and the valuation of interest rate swaps. The financial expenses totalling TEUR 8,525 (2012: TEUR 4,916) mainly comprise the interest payable on non-recourse loans to finance the solar park companies' photovoltaic installations and expenses relating to the measurement of the effective interest (TEUR 213). The fair value measurement of the BlueTec GmbH & Co. KG investment as at 30 June 2013 resulted in devaluation requirements totalling TEUR 1,589, which were carried as financial expenses.

The resulting EBT came in at TEUR 12,362 (2012: TEUR 4,537).

The tax expense carried in the consolidated income statement amounted to TEUR 1,312 in the first six months of 2013 (2012: TEUR 697) and was incurred primarily by the German and Italian solar parks (TEUR 958). Also included is a deferred tax expense in the amount of TEUR 391 relating to an adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation effected in 2012 for the Greußen and Sohland wind farms which concerns the period from acquisition to 30 June 2013. The tax ratio in the first six months of 2013 was 10.61% and is due to other income tax-free under the expected income tax rate of 30%.

The total consolidated net profit as at 30 June 2013 amounted to TEUR 11,050 (2012: TEUR 3,840).

The consolidated net income consists of the profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company and minority interests.

The currency translation differences carried in the balance sheet in the amount of TEUR 15 (2012: TEUR 35) were taken into account when calculating consolidated comprehensive income. Consolidated comprehensive income thus stood at TEUR 11,065 (2012: TEUR 3,875).

Funds from operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 10.3 million as of 30 June 2013 (2012: EUR 7.1 m).

Financial position and cash flow

The change in cash and cash equivalents in the year under review amounted to TEUR 6,417 (2012: TEUR 15,752). This broke down as follows:

The cash flow from operating activities was TEUR 6,377 (2012: TEUR 6,975). This sum was mainly generated from the operating activities of the solar parks and the payments received from them. Also included are changes in assets and liabilities not attributable to investing or financing activities.

The cash flow from investment activities came to TEUR -3,507 (2012: TEUR -30,468), a figure mainly comprising payments for the acquisition of the solar parks in Germany and Italy and a wind farm in Germany.

The cash flow from financing activities ran to TEUR 3,547 (2012: TEUR 39,245). Two capital increases were effected from the authorised capital in the first six months of 2013, in exchange for cash contributions and with no shareholders' subscription rights. Stock options were also exercised. The resulting receipts totalled TEUR 19,421 (2012: TEUR 30,855). Expenses of TEUR 133 (2012: TEUR 118) were incurred during the execution of the capital increases. In addition, longterm loans amounting to TEUR 3,668 were taken for the financing of solar parks in the first six months of 2013 (2012: TEUR 20,283). Total interest payments and repayments of the Group's lines of credit resulted in a cash outflow of TEUR 15,517 in the first six months of 2013. Dividends in the amount of TEUR 3,913 were paid to the shareholders of Capital Stage AG. Furthermore a dividend of one solar park was paid, of which the amount of TEUR 392 is attributable to the co-shareholder.

Assets position

On 30 June 2013, Capital Stage's equity stood at TEUR 156,393 (31/12/2012: TEUR 130,262), having increased primarily due to the net profit for the year and the capital increases carried out during the course of the year. Dividends paid to shareholders had an offsetting. The equity ratio is 30.05% (previous year 28.63%).

On 30 June 2013, the Group held liquid assets worth TEUR 40,616 (31/12/2012: TEUR 34,238). These include the solar parks' debt servicing and project reserves of TEUR 11,707, which are not freely available to the Group.

During the preliminary purchase price allocation process in relation to the German and Italian solar parks and wind farms acquired in the financial year, the power purchase agreements between the parks and the energy supply companies were valued, leading to the recognition of intangible assets worth TEUR 17,803 (31/12/2012: TEUR 37,421). These assets will be amortised over the lifetime of the parks (between 15 and 30 years). In the reporting period, this entailed pro rata amortisation of TEUR 1,722 (2012: TEUR 866).

As in the previous year the goodwill has value from a proportional difference, which has resulted from the consolidation of previous years.

The increase in the value of property, plant and equipment to TEUR 361,716 (31/12/2012: TEUR 317,127) was mainly achieved through newly acquired or erected photovoltaic installations (TEUR 51,121).

The investments in other companies carried under financial assets relate to the companies BlueTec GmbH & Co. KG and Eneri PV Service SRL. In June 2013, the Capital Stage AG pro-rated shares in a capital increase of TEUR 307 in the BlueTec GmbH & Co. KG. This increased the participation rate at 15%. As of 30 June 2013 the investment in the BlueTec GmbH & Co. KG was measured at fair value. This resulted in an impairment loss in the amount of TEUR 1,589, which was recognized in profit or loss in the reporting period.

At the reporting date, 30 June 2013, the Group had bank and leasing liabilities of TEUR 311,904 (31/12/2012: TEUR 280,743). These comprise loans and leases to finance the solar parks and wind farms. In all our loans, non-recourse financing agreements ensure that the liability risk is limited to the parks in question.

The rise in deferred tax liabilities derives from the intangible assets as well as the recognition of property, plant and equipment at fair value in connection with the purchase price allocation undertaken in the financial year.

The trade payables of TEUR 2,125 (31/12/2012: TEUR 2,107) mainly comprise invoices for the erection of solar parks and Helvetic Energy GmbH's supplier invoices. These invoices were settled in the third quarter of the 2013 financial year.

The balance sheet total rose from TEUR 455,017 to TEUR 520,400.

The basic earnings per share (after third-party shares) came to EUR 0.21 (2012: EUR 0.08). The diluted earnings per share were TEUR 0.21 (2012: TEUR 0.08).

Supplementary report

There were no other significant occurrences after the end of the reporting period.

Personnel

An average of 60 people were employed by the Group during the first half of 2013, of whom an average of 42 work for Helvetic Energy GmbH. Capital Stage Solar Service employed an average of eight people; at Capital Stage AG, the average, excluding the management board, was 10 people.

Opportunities and risks

The risks and opportunities facing the Capital Stage Group were discussed in detail in the 2012 consolidated financial statements.

There have been no subsequent changes to the state of affairs set out therein.

The management board of Capital Stage AG is not currently aware of any risks which could jeopardise the continuing existence of the company or the Group.

Overview of business prospects

The Group possesses a sound balance sheet structure and ample liquidity thanks to the recent capital increase. The Group is pursuing the goal of exploiting any opportunities which may arise to expand the photovoltaic park and wind farm segments by taking on further commitments.

The Group is well positioned to achieve that goal. The solar and wind park acquisition pipeline contains projects totalling over 200 MWp in Germany and abroad. Our short, direct decision-making channels facilitate rapid responses and the swift execution of wide-ranging, complex transactions.

In its report on the outlook for 2013 (Prognosebericht), which formed part of the combined management report and consolidated management report for 2012, the management board stated that it expected the Capital Stage Group to continue the positive revenue performance of 2012 and further improve its consolidated result.

After the completion of the first half of 2013, the management board sees no reason to make any changes to these assessments.

1. Company Information

Capital Stage AG (hereinafter referred to as the 'company' or together with its subsidiaries the 'Group'), is a German stock corporation registered 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 ended 31 December 2012.

2. The Reporting Company

Subject to the consolidated financial statements are Capital Stage AG and its affiliates. A list of the consolidated entities is given in note 3.1.

The Group's parent company Capital Stage AG was entered in the Lower Court Company Register in Hamburg on 18 January 2002 with the register number HRB 63197, and the registered office is Grosse Elbstrasse 45, 22767 Hamburg.

Intra-Group business transactions are conducted on the same conditions as transactions with external third parties.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Consolidation Principles

These condensed and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared pursuant to Section 37w paragraph. 3 of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG) and pursuant to the International Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not contain all the information required by IFRS for complete financial statements as of the end of a fiscal year and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2012.

The interim financial statements and the interim management report were not audited in accordance with § 317 HGB nor an audit subject to review by an auditor.

The consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement include comparative information for the prior year period. The consolidated balance sheet includes comparative figures for the end of the immediately preceding financial year.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable within the European Union. With the exception of the accounting standards being applied for the first time during the current financial year and amendments to the accounting policies, the explanations in the Notes to the 2012 consolidated financial statements apply correspondingly with respect to the main accounting policies and measurement criteria.

The following new accounting standards have been applied for the first time with effect from 1 January 2013.

Except for IFRS 13, the amendments had either no effect at all or no material effect on the presentation of our results of operations, financial and assets position or on the result per share.

In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 13, 'Fair Value Measurement', which brought together the different provisions relating to the measurement of fair value, previously contained in various individual IFRS, under a single standard which replaces these earlier provisions. IFRS 13 is to be used for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Its first-time use will not have any significant impact on the valuation of assets or liabilities. The principal changes will be found in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, where information on the market value and categorisation of financial instruments, which hitherto only had to be disclosed in the annual financial statements, will now also be required in the interim financial statements. Further details can be found in note 4.12 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In conformity with IAS 7, the cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method.

To improve clarity, various income statement and balance sheet items have been combined. These items are shown separately and explained in the Notes. The income statement has been prepared according to the nature of expense method. The reporting currency and also the functional currency for all consolidated companies is the Euro, with the exceptions of Helvetic Energy GmbH and Calmatopo Holding AG, for whom the reporting currency is the Swiss franc. The figures in the Notes are given in Euros (EUR), thousands of Euros (TEUR) or millions of Euros.

3.1 Consolidation Principles

The consolidated financial statements include Capital Stage AG and all significant subsidiaries controlled by Capital Stage AG both in Germany and abroad. Control exists if the company has the power to determine an entity's financial and business policies and can derive economic benefit from so doing. Such a controlling interest generally derives from holding a majority of the voting rights.

In conformity with IAS 28.1, due to their designation as well as the portfolio management within the Group, shares in associates are not measured according to the equity method but rather at their fair value in accordance with IAS 39. Any resulting adjustments to fair value are recognized in the income statement under other operating expenses or other operating income.

Investments are also valued in accordance with IAS 39 at fair value. Resulting adjustments are recognized in the financial result in the income statement.

Loans and other receivables and also liabilities between consolidated entities are offset. In the consolidated income statement, income between consolidated entities is offset against corresponding expenses.

Intra-Group liabilities and contingent liabilities are offset, and intra-Group profits and losses, expenses and income are eliminated.

The group of consolidated companies includes further companies in addition to those listed in note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements from 31 December 2012.

The financial year for all companies included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements ends on 31 December 2013.

3.2 Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for as described in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements to 31 December 2012.

The PPAs used for the first-time consolidation of the previous year are on a temporary basis, as part of creating the PPA findings may still arise that can lead to a subsequent adjustment within one year of purchase.

During the first half of 2013, the group of consolidated companies grew as a result of the completion of the purchase of the following solar parks acquired in 2012: Lettewitz GmbH, Polesine Energy 1 SrL, Polesine Energy 2 SrL. Furthermore, the scope of consolidation was extended to Capital Stage Solarpark Betriebs- und Verwaltungs GmbH, Energiepark Solar GmbH & Co. SP Ramin KG and Windkraft Olbersleben II GmbH & Co. KG.

Pursuant to IFRS 3 B65, as the business combinations during the past half year were individually immaterial but material collectively the details were aggregated as required by IFRS 3 B64(e)–(f).

We have refrained from providing specific details of the purchase prices due to a contractual confidentiality agreement.

The badwill arising from the acquisitions in the first half of 2013 amounted to EUR 8.585 million. For purchases from the previous year, the provisional PPA have been adjusted based on new information. The badwill from this amounts to EUR 2.727 million. These amounts are included in other operating income. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in other operating expenses.

Business combinations often require participation in a public sale process whereby the purchase price is significantly influenced by the bids made by competitors. However, the Group's acquisitions result solely from exclusive negotiations with the various sellers.

Solarpark Lettewitz GmbH, Polesine Energy 1 SrL and Polesine Energy 2 SrL were acquired at a price below the net market value of the individual assets and liabilities.

Thus the badwill arises both from the block discount achieved for the Polesine Energy 1 SrL and Polesine Energy 2 SrL solar parks and the avoidance of costly sales processes.

Energiepark Solar GmbH & Co. SP Ramin KG and Windkraft Olbersleben II GmbH & Co. KG were also acquired at a price below the net market value of the individual assets and liabilities.

The holdings of non-controlling shareholders were measured proportionately to their overall shares of the values of the identifiable net assets.

The following acquisitions were included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the first time:

Solarpark Lettewitz GmbH, Halle Polesine Energy 1 SrL, Italy Polesine Energy 2 SrL, Italy

Capital Stage Solarpark Betriebs- und Verwaltungs GmbH Energiepark Solar GmbH & Co. SP Ramin KG Windkraft Olbersleben II GmbH & Co. KG

The transaction involved the acquisition of a solar park in Lettwitz in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. The park's initial consolidation took place on 15 January 2013. The business combination was carried out by applying the partial goodwill method. The newly measured shareholders' equity at the time of initial consolidation was TEUR 5,281. The receivables assumed as a result of the transaction, mainly comprising trade receivables, have a fair value of TEUR 229. The best estimate, at the time of acquisition, of the anticipated unrecoverable portion of the contractual payment streams was zero, and there were no contingent receivables or liabilities. The transaction costs totalled TEUR 16. Since the date of initial consolidation of Solarpark Lettwitz GmbH, sales of TEUR 1,057 and a profit of TEUR 271 have been made by the entity acquired.

The transaction involved the acquisition of an Italian solar park in Parma, in the Emilia Romagna region. The park's initial consolidation took place on 10 January 2013. The business combination was carried out by applying the partial goodwill method. The newly measured shareholders' equity at the time of initial consolidation came to EUR 2.715 million. The receivables acquired as a result of the transaction, mainly comprising tax and trade receivables, have a fair value of TEUR 490. The best estimate, at the time of acquisition, of the anticipated unrecoverable portion of the contractual payment streams was zero, and there were no contingent receivables or liabilities. The transaction costs totalled TEUR 40. Since the date of initial consolidation of the solar park, sales of TEUR 281 and a loss of TEUR 12 have been made by the entity acquired.

The transaction involved the acquisition of a wind farm in Olbersleben, Thuringia. The park's initial consolidation took place on 30 June 2013. The business combination was carried out by applying the partial goodwill method. The newly measured shareholders' equity at the time of initial consolidation was TEUR 3,905. The value of the revalued equity which is attributable to the minority shareholders amounted to EUR 859. The receivables assumed as a result of the transaction, mainly comprising trade receivables, have a fair value of TEUR 108. The best estimate, at the time of acquisition, of the anticipated unrecoverable portion of the contractual payment streams was zero, and there were no contingent receivables or liabilities. The transaction costs totalled TEUR 24. Since the date of initial consolidation of Windkraft Olbersleben II GmbH & Co. KG, sales of TEUR 0 and a loss of TEUR 0 have been registered by the entity acquired. Had the entity been part of the Group for the entire year, it would have contributed sales of TEUR 748 and a loss of TEUR 146 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

No purchase price allocation was undertaken with respect to the acquisition of Capital Stage Solarpark Betriebs- und Verwaltungs GmbH since the prerequisites for an existing business operation were not met. Thus no material changes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements were involved.

During the measurement period within the meaning of IFRS 3.45, the company received new information concerning facts and circumstances which would have influenced the measurement of the assets and liabilities regarding the investments in Windkraft Sohland GmbH & Co. and Boreas Windfeld Greußen GmbH & Co. KG on the date of initial consolidation. These adjustments were made in response to new information on the tax situation which occasioned retroactive changes to the measurement of the assets and liabilities in connection with the purchase price allocation. These involved an increase in other operating income (badwill) of TEUR 2,727, a reduction in deferred tax liabilities of TEUR 2,440 and adjustments in minority interests totalling TEUR 287.

Overall effect of the acquisition on Group results

The net profit for the half year to 30 June 2013 includes gains of TEUR 382 from the companies included in the consolidated financial statements for the first time during this period. The sales revenues for the first half of 2013 include TEUR 1,880 from the newly consolidated solar parks. If the business combinations had taken place on 1 January 2013, Group revenues in these divisions to 30 June 2013 would have been TEUR 763 greater and the net profit would have been TEUR 462 lower.

Sale of subsidiaries

No subsidiaries were sold during the first half of 2013.

3.3 Foreign Currency Translation

Differences arising from the translation of the functional currency of foreign entities into the Group's reporting currency (the Euro) are recorded in the consolidated financial statements directly under 'Other comprehensive income' and cumulatively in the line item 'foreign currency translation reserve'. Translation differences previously recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve are transferred to the income statement if part or all of the foreign entity is sold.

The foreign currency translation was performed at the historic exchange rate in the case of shareholders' equity, at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date in the case of other balance sheet items and at the mean exchange rate for the year in the case of income and expenses as well as the consolidated result. Pursuant to IAS 21, currency translation differences were recognised directly in equity. The exchange rate on the balance sheet date between the Swiss franc and the Euro was CHF/EUR 1.2338 (30 June 2012: 1.2030), while the mean exchange rate for the first half of 2013 was CHF/EUR 1.2272 (first half of 2012: 1.20106).

3.4 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainties

Preparing a consolidated balance sheet according to IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made concerning various items, and these may have consequences on the extent and disclosure of assets, liabilities, expenses and earnings. The actual amounts may differ from these estimates. Any changes will be recognised in the income statement once we have better knowledge of the items in question.

The company's only significant area of accounting judgement is the recognition of potential goodwill through the use of either the partial goodwill method or the full goodwill method. In other respects, there is no significant area of accounting judgement.

Below we discuss the most important forwardlooking assumptions as well as the other principal sources of estimation uncertainties as of the end of the reporting period which could give rise to a substantial risk within the coming financial year that a significant adjustment of the reported assets and liabilities.

When measuring property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the expected useful life of the assets must be estimated, and in doing so we take into account contractual agreements, knowledge of the industry and management estimates.

The intangible assets recorded during the purchase price allocation process form the basis for the Company's planning, which also takes into account contractual agreements and management estimates. The discounting rate (WACC) applied in connection with the measurement of intangible assets was between 3.95% and 4.38%.

The reader is referred to the discussion in note 3.7 of the consolidated financial statement as of 31 12.2012 for details of the assumptions made when determining the fair value of financial assets.

In calculating the present values of lease liabilities and financial liabilities, the contractually agreed interest rates were applied.

At period end connected to hedge interest rate swaps were revalued. Furthermore, due to the lower interest rates revaluation resulted in a net interest income of EUR 586

Given the above-mentioned uncertainties it is impossible to state the quantitative consequences of estimation uncertainty.

3.5 Segment reporting

During the first half of 2013, the focus of the Capital Stage Group's business activities did not change substantially, remaining on the operation and development of solar parks and wind farms. Accordingly the attribution of the consolidated assets and liabilities to the various segments remained unchanged. The Group's segments are Administration, PV Parks, PV Service, Wind Farms and Financial Investments.

4. Notes to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

4.1 Sales

1.1.–30.6.2013 TEUR 26,241
(1.1.–30.6.2012 TEUR 20,097)

This item includes the feed-in tariffs received by the photovoltaic parks and wind farms as well as the revenue for Helvetic Energy GmbH and revenue from external third-party parks and farms generated by Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH for the first half of 2013. The breakdown of revenue is shown in the segment reporting.

4.2 Other income

1.1.–30.6.2013 TEUR 11,490
(1.1.–30.6.2012 TEUR 11,484)

Other income of TEUR 11,490 mainly consists of income recognised through profit or loss of TEUR 8,585 (Previous year: TEUR 11,225) from the initial consolidation of the Italian solar parks. Furthermore, other income included due to adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocations for acquisitions from the previous year TEUR 2,727. Pursuant to IFRS 3, the Capital Stage Group carried out a preliminary purchase price allocation on the date of acquisition of the parks in order to incorporate the acquired assets and liabilities into the consolidated financial statements. The partial goodwill method was applied.

4.3 Financial result

1.1.–30.6.2013 TEUR -7,775
(1.1.–30.6.2012 TEUR -4,605)

The financial income resulting from interest on time deposits and current accounts. Financial expenses include interest on long-term borrowings and losses from the valuation of the investment in BlueTec GmbH & Co. KG at fair value.

4.4 Financial assets

30.6.2013 TEUR 1,813
(31.12.2012 TEUR 3,049)

The investments in other companies carried under financial assets relate to the companies BlueTec GmbH & Co. KG and Eneri PV SRL. The financial investments are carried at their fair value on the balance sheet date. This led to the recognition of an impairment of TEUR 1,589 in relation to Blue-Tec GmbH & Co. KG.

4.5 Trade receivables

30.6.2013 TEUR 10,543
(31.12.2012 TEUR 3,150)

Trade receivables were higher on 30 June 2013 than on 31 December 2012 for seasonal reasons relating to the fact that receivables from feed-in tariffs are higher in June than in December. Payments are usually made during the following quarter.

4.6 Cash and cash equivalents

30.6.2013 TEUR 40,616
(31.12.2012 TEUR 34,238)

The cash and cash equivalents exclusively consist of cash and bank balances. They include EUR 11.7 million (31 December 2012: EUR 15.8 million) held in capital servicing and project reserves which have been pledged as security to the solar parks' creditor banks and are not freely available in the short term. Pursuant to IAS 7, movements in cash and cash equivalents are shown in the cash flow statement.

4.7 Equity

30.6.2013 TEUR 156,393
(31.12.2012 TEUR 130,262)

Changes in equity are detailed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

On 30 June 2013, the equity capital stood at TEUR 53,750 (31 December 2012: TEUR 48,400) and the capital reserve at TEUR 51,644 (31. December 2012: TEUR 37,666).

Two capital increases from authorised capital were completed successfully during the first half of 2013, and various share options were also exercised, leading to an increase in the equity capital.

The gross inflow of funds totalling TEUR 19,421 was allocated to the equity capital. Equity capital of TEUR 48,400 was increased by TEUR 5,350 to TEUR 53,750.

The retained earnings of TEUR 3,705 correspond to the other retained earnings in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for Capital Stage AG to 30 June 2013.

The currency reserve of TEUR 144 derives from exchange rate differences between the Euro and the Swiss franc which arose in connection with the consolidation of Helvetic Energy GmbH and Calmatopo AG.

4.8 Taxes on income and earnings

The amount recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income tax expense is at a current tax charge of TEUR 989 (previous year: TEUR 215) and a deferred tax expense of TEUR 323 (previous year TEUR 482), a total of TEUR 1,312 (previous year: TEUR 697).

4.9 Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share (after third-party shares) came to EUR 0.21 (30 June 2012: EUR 0.08). The diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.21 (30 June 2012: EUR 0.08).

4.10 Non-current financial liabilities

These consist of non-current borrowing from banks. Financial liabilities are recognised at the amount required to settle the obligation. They are measured exclusively at acquisition cost or amortised cost, applying the effective interest method.

4.11 Depreciation and Amortisation

The depreciation and amortisation of TEUR 8,642 (30 June 2012: TEUR 13,993) mainly comprises depreciation on the photovoltaic parks and wind farms and amortisation of intangible assets (electricity feed-in contracts).

4.12 Additional Disclosures Related to Financial Assets and Liabilities

The financial assets held are assigned to the following categories on the basis of their risk structure, term or recoverability, as well as their treatment for risk management purposes and the nature of their measurement: financial assets, interest rate swaps, other financial assets, credits and receivables and financial liabilities.

Financial assets

The financial assets measured at fair value in the balance sheet comprise the investments in Blue-Tec GmbH & Co. KG and Eneri PV Service SrL. The investments were assigned to the IAS 39 category 'measured at fair value through profit or loss' due to the unified monitoring of the financial instruments via the risk management system and the appraisal of their performance on the basis of fair value.

With the exception of the interest rates, the financial assets carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet, as well as the stated fair values of financial instruments, are based on the level-three information and input factors referred to the notes to 31.12.2012 at 3.10. Changes in value are recognized in the financial result. The measurement methods and input factors applied have not changed since 31 December 2012.

The application of the above-mentioned measurement methods yielded one impairment in fair value as of 30 June 2013, amounting to TEUR 1,589 (31 December 2012: TEUR 0).

Interest rate swaps

The interest rate swaps remain as before the interest rate swaps engaged in during 2012 along with the corporate acquisitions. They are carried at their fair values and classified as financial assets held for trading purposes, since they are derivatives which, though not designated as hedging instruments, are effective as such and do not represent any financial guarantee. The conditions have not changed since 31 December 2012.

The interest rate swaps carried in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values, as well as the details of the fair values of financial instruments, are founded on the level-two information and input factors referred to the notes to 31.12.2012 at 3.10. Changes in value are recognised in the income statement under the financial result.

With interest rate swaps, the Group exchanges fixed and variable interest payments calculated on the basis of agreed nominal amounts. Such agreements enable the Group to reduce the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of issued fixedinterest debt instruments, as well as the cash flow risk of issued variable-interest debt instruments.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps on the balance sheet date is determined by discounting future cash flows, through application of the interest structure curves on the balance sheet date, as well as the credit risk of the contracts.

The revaluation to 30 June 2013 of the interest rate swaps engaged in during 2012 yielded interest income to 30 June 2013 of TEUR 586.

Other financial assets

The other short-term financial assets recognised in the consolidated balance sheet have been assigned to the categories trade payables, cash and cash equivalents and other short-term receivables, as well as trade payables, financial liabilities and other short-term liabilities. The carrying values of the short-term financial assets or liabilities in question correspond to the costs of acquisition. These risk classes do not include any credit or default risks of significance for an appraisal of the Group's assets and financial position given that none of the receivables was either overdue or impaired, and indeed they were either already largely settled or securely invested (in the form of time deposits) at the time of drawing up the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly their carrying values essentially correspond to their fair values.

Loans and receivables

With the exception of the financial liabilities, the financial instruments measured at their amortised cost do not contain any hidden reserves or encumbrances, and are therefore the carrying value of all other financial instruments presented in the balance sheet corresponds to their fair value. There are no material credit or default risks, and no security for credits or receivables is held.

Financial liabilities

The financial liabilities did not result in any liquidity risk since the Group holds cash or cash equivalents of EUR 40.6 million (31 December 2012: EUR 34.2 million), as well as ongoing cash flows from the solar parks and wind farms which can be expected to continue with a high degree of certainty, from which there will be no difficulty in making interest payments, paying off the principal and servicing the financial liabilities. The management board has final responsibility for liquidity risk management. To this end it has established a suitable system for controlling short-, mediumand long-term financing and liquidity requirements. The Group manages liquidity risks by maintaining suitable reserves and through the ongoing monitoring of forecasted and actual cash flows, as well as coordinating the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

During the first half of 2013, repayments on our existing long-term financial liabilities were made according to plan.

5. Contingent liabilities and other obligations

Obligations of TEUR 236 exist for rental contracts expiring within one year.

There are also standard leases, which are classified pursuant to IAS 17.8 as operating leases. The leased items are capitalised by the lessor rather than the lessee.

The sum of future minimum lease payments due in one to five years for non-terminable operating leases is TEUR 96. No lease payments are due after five years because the longest contract expires at the end of November 2016. These disclosures are made in accordance with IAS 17.35.

During the first half of 2013, lease expenses of TEUR 44 were paid (first half of 2012: TEUR 43).

The companies in which the photovoltaic or wind power plants are operated have in some cases signed long-term commercial leases corresponding to the service lives of the equipment (20 to 30 years). Total future payments for commercial leases running for over five years come to TEUR 14,767.

This proposal was endorsed and adopted by the Annual General Meeting. The dividend for 2012 was paid out on 19 June 2013.

In line with a shareholders' resolution, a solar park included in the scope of consolidation made a partial distribution to a shareholder on 10 June 2013 of TEUR 392.

7. Employees

The Group had an average of 60 employees in the period from 1 January to 30 June 2013. The average figures were determined using the number of employees at the end of each month. Excluding members of the management board, on 30 June 2013 the Group employed 12 people at Capital Stage AG, ten at Capital Stage Solar Service GmbH and 42 at Helvetic Energy GmbH.

8. Share-based payment

During the first half of 2013, 510,000 share options were exercised. During this period, the share option programme led to the recognition of TEUR 43 (1 January to 30 June 2012: TEUR 15) in personnel expenses.

9. Related party disclosures (IAS 24)

In 2012, a lease was concluded on normal market terms with Albert Büll, Dr Cornelius Liedtke in GbR Holzhafen for office premises which Capital Stage AG moved into during the second quarter of 2013. Contracts were also signed for underground car parking spaces in the building where the offices are situated.
