PRESS RELEASE

Estavis AG Concludes H1 of its 2011/12 FY with Stable Results

• Upturn in EBIT margin and equity ratio

• Outlook for the year as a whole remains positive

Berlin, 13 February 2012 - Estavis AG completed the first semester of its
2011/12 financial year with stable results, and increased its
profitability. The earnings figures more or less match the level of the
prior-year period while revenues softened slightly. The EBIT margin rose
once again, and currently stands at 9.4% (first semester 2010/11: 8.8%).

At EUR 0.42 million, the consolidated net profit during the first six
months showed a small year-on-year increase (first semester 2010/11: EUR
0.41 million); earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) suffered a modest
setback year on year (first semester 2010/11: EUR 2.6 million). Earnings
before taxes were level with the first semester 2010/2011 at EUR 0.6
million. Revenues came to a total of EUR 27.2 million (previous year: EUR
29.9 million). The equity ratio showed a minor increase, and equalled 42.0%
by the balance sheet date of 31 December 2011.

'The results of the first semester provide a solid foundation for the
months to come. We have continued to pursue our ongoing projects according
to plan, and have moreover kept moving forward with the expansion of our
business activities. With our first commitment in the area of new housing
construction in October, and with the acquisition of a residential quarter
with 214 apartments this February, Estavis AG has tapped additional revenue
potential,' said Florian Lanz, CEO of Estavis AG. 'Given our corporate
structure and our project pipeline, we consider ourselves well positioned
to keep benefitting from the persistently favourable market environment,
especially on Berlin's residential real estate market.'

Continued Positive Outlook for the 2011/2012 Financial Year

With a view to the performance so far, the management board expects Estavis
AG to see a higher year-on-year result for the 2011/12 financial year as a
whole. At the same time, the prospects of increased revenues remain a
realistic goal. This estimate is based on the latest assessment of the
market environment in the markets relevant to Estavis AG, the company's
business performance, as well as the development of the project pipeline
and the sales and yield potential these represent.
