Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear shareholders, business partners and tenants,

The second quarter of 2012 developed according to plan. Our acquisition strategy is paying off and the FFO per share improved by 13% to EUR 0.26 in the first half of 2012. The acquisitions of the recent months increased our revenue base, improved our profitability and immediately created earnings accretion for our shareholders. The latest transaction was closed in May 2012, thus only contributing partially to the half-year FFO and offering further potential for improvement. The lease-up of the vacancy that was acquired within the new assets will only add to the accretion.

Our real estate operations performed in line with expectations. As per publishing date of this report, 12,600 sqm of new leases were signed and leases for 32,600 sqm were extended this year. Although there is tough competition for tenants, we are still seeing a strong demand for office space. Offering the right asset at a competitive price is what drives success in the leasing market. Against that background we feel that alstria is in a good position to capture new tenants and benefit from today's liquid leasing markets. In order to be even more reactive in that respect and to be even closer to our assets, we have opened our first office in the city of Düsseldorf as of July 1, 2012.

Based on solid fundamentals the operating performance of the Company remained strong. Our revenues in the first half of 2012 were up by 12.7% to EUR 49.2 m and our FFO increased even more strongly by 25.3% to EUR 20.8 m. The disproportionate increase in our FFO is a result of our top-line growth and economies of scale, as our operating costs were flat compared to last year.

We therefore confirm our forecast for 2012 with a rental income increasing by 10% to EUR 100 m and our FFO growing by 15% to at least EUR 40 m.

Unlike the leasing market, the investment environment remains subdue, with core products being oversold, and pricing on the rest of the market still adjusting to reality. In the first half of 2012 we sold two assets for a total volume of EUR 8.4 m, and an average premium of 5% compared to the valuation as of December 31, 2011. While we still have around EUR 50 m of firepower and we are continuously scouting the market for new opportunities, we are under no time pressure to invest.

Kind regards

Olivier Elamine Alexander Dexne

alstria's share

share price development

In the first half of 2012, the European debt crisis continued to impact the development of the stock markets. Whilst in the first quarter of the year positive economic data led to a positive performance of the German stock market, the second quarter repeatedly was dominated by concerns on the unresolved sovereign debt crisis in Europe. As per end of June 2012 the German DAX stood at 6,416 points and recorded under severe fluctuations an increase of 9% in the first six months of the year.

The alstria share underperformed the market in the first half of 2012. After the price of the alstria shares closed the financial year 2011 at EUR 9.20, the share price at the end of the first half of 2012 was EUR 8.35. In the course of the first six months 2012 the share price fluctuated between EUR 7.64 and EUR 9.20. The share price movements also reflected the dividend payment on April 25, 2012, which resulted in a corresponding markdown of the share price.

The Annual General Meeting of alstria office REIT AG held on April 24, 2012 resolved to grant a dividend entitlement of EUR 0.44 per share for the financial year 2011. As also the newly issued shares from the executed capital are entitled for dividend payments the total dividend amounted to EUR 34,705 k.

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

On June 30, 2012, alstria's portfolio consisted of 84 office properties and one retail property with approximately 930,000 sqm of lettable area and a contractual vacancy rate of 11.5%. The portfolio is valued at a yield of 6.5% and the remaining weighted average unexpired lease term is approximately 7.4 years. Additionally, alstria is 49% shareholder in two joint ventures.

For a detailed description of the alstria portfolio, please refer to the Annual Report 2011 (Part I/II - Company Report, pp. 42 to 61).

Transactions

In February 2012, alstria signed a binding and notarised agreement for the sale of one asset in Nuremberg. The transfer of benefits and burden took place on April 1, 2012.

In the first quarter of 2012, alstria successfully executed a capital increase and placed 7,170,362 ordinary bearer shares, increasing its nominal share capital from EUR 71,703,625 to EUR 78,873,987.

The funds raised through the capital increase – after deduction of fees and expenses in connection with the issuance – have been used to finance the equity portion of the acquisition of six assets. In February 2012, alstria signed a binding notarised agreement for the acquisition of a portfolio of these six assets, located in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Neu-Isenburg and Norderstedt (DIVE portfolio). The transfer of benefits and burden took place on May 1, 2012.

In May 2012, alstria signed a binding and notarised agreement for the sale of one asset in Hamburg. As the transfer of benefits and burden took place on July 1, 2012, after the reporting period, this asset is classified as "asset held for sale" as at June 30, 2012.

Additionally, in November 2011, alstria and its joint venture partners in the joint venture "Alte Post" signed a binding and notarised agreement for the disposal of the "Alte Post"-property. This asset has been transferred to the new owner in March 2012.

alstria's strong growth was partially based on the acquired assets in the Düsseldorf market. To maintain an appropriate asset and portfolio management, we established the first regional office in this German metropolis in July 2012.

Asset Management

In the first two quarters of 2012 alstria's asset management was successful with respect to re-letting vacant areas. alstria signed new leases* totalling approx. 8,900 sqm in the first half of 2012.

Due to the acquisition of value-add assets and the widening of the strategic vacancy, the vacancy rate increased to 11.5% or around 107,000 sqm. Of this 107,000 sqm, around 32,600 sqm represents strategic vacancy (intended vacancy implemented by alstria as part of its repositioning process for certain assets), while the remainder are operational vacancies.

* New leases correspond to lease of vacant space. It does not account for any lease renewal, prolongation or tenant exercise of renewal option.

Tenants and utilisation

The key focus on a small number of anchor tenants remains one of the main characteristics of alstria's portfolio. About 72% of total rental revenues are generated by alstria's top ten tenants. The 2012 portfolio also reflects the clear focus on one single asset class: offices. These make up 93% of the total lettable area.

EARNINGS POSITION

Revenues increased due to acquisitions

Revenues increased in the first half of 2012 by 12.7% compared to the first half of 2011 due to prior year's acquisitions. Revenues amounted to EUR 49,249 k (H1 2011: EUR 43,687 k) with real estate operating expenses of around 10.0% of revenues at EUR 4,903 k (H1 2011: EUR 3,729 k or 8.5% of revenues). As a consequence of the consolidation of the new assets, net rental income increased by EUR 4,350 k to EUR 44,298 k compared to the first half of 2011.

Administrative expenses and personnel expenses for the reporting period decreased by EUR 1,161 k to EUR 6,121 k (H1 2011: EUR 7,282 k). The higher administrative expenses in the first half of 2011 resulted mainly from expenses related to the placement of shares in the market in the first quarter of 2011. In the first half of 2012 total operating expenses amounted to 12.4% of total revenues (H1 2011: 16.7%).

alstria closed the first half of 2012 with a consolidated result of EUR 21,712 k. This compares to a consolidated result of EUR 18,813 k in the first half of the previous year. The increase in the consolidated profit is mainly due to higher revenues and lower operating expenses in the first two quarters of 2012.

1 Non-cash income or expenses and non-recurring effects.

2 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, no standard definition exists for FFO. Thus, the FFO or measures with similar names as presented by other companies may not necessarily be comparable to alstria's FFO.

Funds from operations (FFO) amount to EUR 20,759 k for the reporting period compared to EUR 16,561 k in the first half of 2011. The increase is mainly due to higher revenues of EUR 5,562 k (H1 2012: EUR 49,249 k; H1 2011: EUR 43,687 k) and lower operating costs of EUR 1,161 k (H1 2012: EUR 6,121 k; H1 2011: EUR 7,282 k).

As a result, FFO per share was EUR 0.26 in the first half of 2012 (H1 2011: EUR 0.23).

Hedging Instruments

alstria uses hedge accounting on qualifying hedges in order to limit the impact on profit and loss of the volatility of interest rate markets. This allows alstria to recognise losses or gains on the qualifying part of the derivatives through the equity cash flow hedge reserve with no effect on income. For more details, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2011.

A decrease of EUR 5,169 k of changes in fair values of derivatives effective in a cash flow hedge has been recognised in the hedging reserve in the first half of 2012 (H1 2011: increase of EUR 5,978 k).

The ineffective portion recognised in the profit or loss that arises from cash flow hedges amounted to a fair value loss of EUR 525 k (H1 2011: gain of EUR 2,120 k). Further gains totalling EUR 436 k (H1 2011: gain of EUR 1,020 k) due to the market valuation of derivatives not included in hedge accounting were recognised in the income statement.

A loss of EUR 496 k (H1 2011: EUR 727 k) relates to the cumulative losses from cash flow hedges for which the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur due to premature repayment of the loans.

Together, this results in a loss of EUR 585 k (H1 2011: gain of EUR 2,413) which is shown as net result from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives.

Financial income 475 560 –15.2%
Other financial expenses –32 –11 190.9%
Net financing result –18,254 –17,180 6.3%

As at June 30, 2012 alstria was not in breach of any of its financial covenants.

Net financing costs increased by EUR 1,074 k to EUR 18,254 k in comparison with the first half-year of 2011. The increase is attributable to an increased average loan level compared to the previous reporting period.

Increase in consolidated net result driven by higher revenues and lower operating costs

The resulting consolidated net result amounts to EUR 21,712 k (H1 2011: EUR 18,813 k). The main reason for the increase in the consolidated net result compared to the same period in 2011 is based on higher revenues (H1 2012: EUR 49,249 k; H1 2011: EUR 43,687 k) and lower operating costs (H1 2012: EUR 6,121 k; H1 2011: EUR 7,282 k).

Earnings per share are EUR 0.28 for the first six months of 2012.

FINANCIAL AND ASSET POSITION

Financial management

alstria's financial management is carried out at corporate level, with individual loans being taken out at property and portfolio level. The main goal of alstria's financial policy is the establishment of secured, long-term structures to support the development of its business whilst providing the required degree of flexibility. Corporate management of debt financing forms the basis for harmonised capital procurement, optimised management of interest and liquidity risks and efficiency improvements for the whole Group.

In conjunction with the disposal of two assets EUR 5,064 k of the syndicated loan has been repaid in the first half of 2012.

Total as of June 30, 2012 858,569 52.5

Existing loan agreements as per June 30, 2012

Cash position is EUR 61,479 k

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months amounted to EUR 23,036 k. The significant increase compared to the first half-year 2011 (EUR 11,985 k) resulted mainly from higher rental revenues and lower payments for interest expenses due to a change in interest payment dates.

The cash flow from investing activities is impacted by the cash outflows resulting from the acquisitions of the DIVE portfolio and investments in existing properties (cash outflow EUR 101,443 k). Cash inflows of EUR 8,440 k relate to payments received for the sale of two properties. Proceeds from the equity release of interests in joint ventures generated cash inflows in an amount of EUR 23,276 k.

The cash flows from financing activities mainly reflect the proceeds from shares issued in an amount of EUR 59,756 k net and the dividend payment (EUR 34,705 k). Furthermore cash outflows were made for the acquisition and termination of financial derivatives (EUR 8,104 k) and in an amount of EUR 6,233 k for the redemption of loans.

As a result, alstria ended the first half of 2012 with a cash position of EUR 61,479 k (June 30, 2011: EUR 130,495 k).

Investment property grew by 6.5%

The total value of investment property at reporting date amounts to EUR 1,628,710 k in comparison with EUR 1,528,589 k at the beginning of the financial year. The increase of investment property is particularly based on the acquisition of six assets in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Neu-Isenburg and Norderstedt (DIVE portfolio).

Interests in joint ventures refer to the at-equity method consolidation of two joint venture companies.

Equity ratio of 46.8% – G-REIT equity ratio at 48.8%

The balance sheet reflects a total equity position of EUR 810,537 k with an equity ratio of 46.8% (December 31, 2011: EUR 768,195 k or 45.5%).

The G-REIT equity ratio which is defined as total equity divided by immovable assets is 48.8% (December 31, 2011: 48.7%). According to the G-REIT Act (REIT-Gesetz - REITG), the minimum requirement for compliance with G-REIT criteria is an equity ratio of 45% calculated at the end of the financial year.

NNNAV at EUR 10.27 per share

NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value according to EPRA*) dropped from EUR 10.71, as at December 31, 2011 per share to EUR 10.27 per share. The 4% decrease in NNNAV per share should be considered in light of the 10% increase in the number of shares (June 30, 2012: 78,933,487 shares; December 31, 2011: 71,703,625 shares). If the current number of shares is taken as a basis for the calculation as at December 31, 2011, this results in a NNNAV per share of EUR 9.73. This result mirrors the specified increase of total equity.

Following the capital increase at the end of the first quarter 2012, equity increased by EUR 59,639 k as against December 2011. Due to a decline in fair value of financial instruments, the hedging reserve decreased by EUR 4,673 k from EUR -17,760 k as at December 31, 2011 to EUR -22,433 k as at June 30, 2012. The consolidated profit for the period resulted in equity growth of EUR 21,712 k. In total, this leads to an increase in equity from EUR 42,342 k to EUR 810,537 k.**

Long-term loans remain stable

After the drawdown of two new loans in late-2011, in the first half of 2012 the long-term loans remained relatively stable (June 30, 2012: EUR 848,583 k; December 31, 2011: EUR 854,814 k). The slight decrease is a result of the repayment of EUR 5,064 k of the syndicated loan in conjunction with the disposal of one asset in Nuremberg and one asset in Hamburg.

Increase in current liabilities

Current liabilities increased by 32.3% to EUR 28,208 k, which is mainly linked to the rise in current loans and other current liabilities. These other current liabilities, amounting to EUR 13,802 k mainly comprise accruals for outstanding invoices (EUR 3,027 k), deferred income (EUR 2,714 k) and other accruals (EUR 8,061 k). These other accruals contain the purchase price advanced payment for the sale of one asset, which is classified as "asset held for sale" in the amount of EUR 5,040 k.

RISK AND OPPORTUNITY REPORT

The risks and opportunities to which alstria is exposed are described in detail in the Annual Report 2011. There have been no changes to the status in that report.

LATEST events and outlook

In May 2012, alstria signed a binding and notarised agreement for the sale of one asset in Hamburg. As the transfer of benefits and burden took place on July 1, 2012, after the reporting period, this asset is classified as "asset held for sale" as at June 30, 2012.

Additionally, alstria signed two long-term lease contracts of around 3,700 sqm office space after the reporting period.

Financial guidance

Following the last acquisition, alstria expects revenues of around EUR 100 m and funds from operations (FFO) of around EUR 40 m for the year 2012.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2012

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 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 December 31, 2011.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the 'consolidated interim financial statements') were authorised for issue by resolution of the Company's management board on August 2, 2012.

2 Basis of preparation

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 annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2011.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited. They have been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Hamburg.

3 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those policies applied in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as outlined in those annual financial statements.

The following new interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the financial reporting period beginning January 1, 2012:

› Amendments to IFRS 7 'Financial instruments: Disclosures', issued October 7, 2010. The amendments are applicable to financial years starting on or after July 1, 2011. The amendments require enhanced derecognition disclosures in case of transfer transactions of certain financial assets. As transfer transactions of financial assets are not a normal part of alstria's business, these amendments have no significant influence on alstria's financial reporting.

The initial application of the newly applied IFRS had no material effect on the presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements.

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards have been issued but are not effective for the financial year 2012 and have not been applied by the Group before they are mandatory:

  • › IFRS 9 'Financial instruments'; new standard issued November 12, 2009. The standard addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect the Group's accounting of financial assets. Application of the standard is not mandatory until January 1, 2015. But subject to EU endorsement, the standard is available for early adoption. The Group has not yet assessed the full impact of IFRS 9.
  • › IFRS 10 'Consolidated financial statements'; new standard issued on May 12, 2011. The objective of IFRS 10 is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. The standard supersedes the guidelines on consolidation as outlined in the present IAS 27 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' and SIC-12 'Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities'. IFRS 10 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. It is not expected that the application of the new standard will lead to a change in the basis of consolidation of the Group.
  • › IFRS 11 'Joint arrangements'; new standard issued on May 12, 2011. The core principle of IFRS 11 is that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations, and accounts for those rights and obligations, in accordance with that type of joint arrangement. The standard supersedes IAS 31 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and SIC-13 'Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers'. IFRS 11 is applicable

to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. It is not expected that the application of the new standard will lead to a change in the accounting for joint ventures.

  • › IFRS 12 'Disclosures of interests in other entities'; new standard issued on May 12, 2011. The objective of IFRS 12 is to require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on their financial position, financial performance and cash flows. IFRS 12 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Group has not yet assessed the full impact of IFRS 12.
  • › IAS 27 'Separate financial statements'; new revised standard issued on May 12, 2011. IAS 27 (revised 2011) has the objective of setting standards to be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates when an entity elects, or is required by local regulations, to present separate (non-consolidated) financial statements. IAS 27 (2011) together with IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' supersedes the previous version of IAS 27 (2008) 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' including the related interpretation SIC-12 'Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities'. IAS 27 (revised 2011) is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Since none of alstria's Group companies prepares single entity financial statements in accordance with IFRS, no impact on accounting is expected as a result of the revised standard.
  • › IAS 28 'Investments in associates and joint ventures'; new standard issued May 12, 2011. The objective of IAS 28 (revised 2011) is to prescribe the accounting for investments in associates, and to set out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IAS 28 (2011), together with IFRS 12 'Disclosures of interests in other entities', supersedes the previous version of IAS 28 (2008) 'Investments in Associates'. IAS 28 (revised 2011) is applicable to financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. It is not expected that the application of the new standard will lead to a change in the accounting for joint ventures.
  • › An entity may apply the aforementioned standards IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 12 'Disclosure of In-

terests in Other Entities', IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements (2011)' and IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures 2011' to an earlier accounting period, but if it elects to do this prematurely, it must adopt all standards together.

  • › IFRS 13 'Fair value measurement'; new standard issued on May 12, 2011. IFRS 13 defines fair value; it sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 'Share-based Payment', leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 'Leases', measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 'Inventories', or value in use in IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets'. IFRS 13 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Group has not yet assessed the full impact of IFRS 13.
  • › Amendments to IFRS 1 'Severe hyperinflation and removal of fixed dates for first-time adopters', issued on December 20, 2010. The amendment will be applicable for financial years starting on July 1, 2011 or later. Since alstria has no exposure to hyperinflation markets, the amendments will have no effect on alstria's financial reporting.
  • › Amendment to IFRS 1 with regard to government grants with interest rates not in line with market level. The Amendment was published on March 13, 2012 and will give first-time adopters the same relief to recognition and measurement of government grants as existing preparers. The amendment applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and will have no effect on the Group's financial reporting.
  • › The IASB has revised the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities and as a result, published amendments to IAS 32 'Financial instruments: presentation' and IFRS 7 'financial instruments: disclosure'. The current offsetting model in IAS 32 has been basically maintained and was solely substantiated by additional application guidance, which applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

New features are the IFRS 7 disclosure requirements inserted in connection with certain settlement agreements. The amendments to IFRS 7 are to apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Impacts from these changes may result in terms of reporting in the event that there is a netting agreement.

  • › Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of financial statements'. On June 16, 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published amendments to IAS 1. The amendments to IAS 1 retain the 'one or two statement' approach at the option of the entity and only revise the way other comprehensive income is presented, requiring separate subtotals for those elements which may be 'recycled', and those elements that will not. The amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are not expected to affect presentation of the Group's financial statements.
  • › Amendment to IAS 12 'Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets', issued on December 20, 2010. This amendment, which will have no impact on the financial reporting of alstria is generally to apply from January 1, 2012, but to date the endorsement by the EU is still pending.
  • › Amendments to IAS 19 'Employee benefits'. On June 16, 2011, the IASB published amendments to IAS 19, implementing new reporting procedures on employee benefits. The amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are not expected to affect presentation of the Group's financial reporting.
  • › IFRIC 20 'Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine': IFRIC 20 considers when and how to account separately for benefits arising from the stripping activities in surface mining operations. IFRIC 20 applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The interpretation has no relevance for the Group.
  • › The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued 'Annual Improvements 2009-2011', a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to issues addressed during the 2009–2011 cycle. Five standards (IFRS 1, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32 and IAS 34) are primarily affected by the amendments, with consequential amendments to numerous others. The improvements apply to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and will be of minor, if any, relevance for the Group

4 Consolidated group

Two new entities - a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft), alstria office Portfolio 2 GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, and its general partner (Komplementärin), alstria Portfolio 2 GP GmbH, Hamburg - were established in the first quarter 2012. As fully-owned affiliates of alstria office REIT-AG, these companies have been consolidated as part of the alstria Group. During the second quarter a merger agreement between alstria office REIT-AG and alstria Portfolio 2 GP GmbH was closed, leading to the accretion of the alstria Portfolio 2 GP GmbH on alstria office REIT-AG by way of an up-stream merger with an effective date of May 1, 2012.

There have been no further changes to the consolidated Group since the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011.

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 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 3,032 k (January 1 to June 30, 2011: EUR 3,091 k) include accrued bonuses in the amount of EUR 580 k (January 1 to June 30, 2011: EUR 544 k). Furthermore, personnel expenses of EUR 113 k (January 1 to June 30, 2011: EUR 397 k) relating to share-based compensation granted to the management are included (see note 11), as are expenses for share-based compensation resulting from the convertible profit participation rights granted to employees in an amount of EUR 358 k (January 1 to June 30, 2011: EUR 211 k).

6.2 Financial result

There were no new loans taken out in the first six months 2012. The syndicated loan was amortised in an amount of EUR 5,064 k.

In line with alstria's hedging strategy, the Group entered into a new interest rate forward cap with a notional amount of EUR 47,902 k and a cap rate of 4.6000%. The cap will become effective on July 10, 2013 and expires on October 20, 2015. This transaction became effective as at June 12, 2012.

The interest rate forward cap agreement partially replaced a so far existing interest rate forward swap with a notional amount of EUR 95,000 k, a swap rate of 4.6000% and an initial maturity between July 10, 2013 and October 20, 2015. The forward interest rate swap agreement was terminated in the total notional amount of EUR 95,000 k with effect from June 14, 2012.

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 IAS 40.33 et seq. for revaluation. External appraisals were obtained for the determination of value as at December 31, 2011. A management review of fair values as at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2012 resulted in a fair value increase for investment properties held at December 31, 2011 totalling EUR 6,445 k. This amount relates to capitalised expenditure invested in the first half year of 2012 for refurbishment and project development.

"We confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group and the group management report gives a true and fair view of business performance including the results of operations and the situation of the Group, and describes the main opportunities and risks and anticipated development of the Group in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework."

To the alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg, comprising the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and selected explanatory notes, together with the interim group management report of the alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg, for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2012, that are part of the semi annual financial report pursuant to § 37w Abs. 2 WpHG [Wertpapierhandelsgesetz: German Securities Trading Act]. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and of the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review such that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
