Johan Buijs, CEO van NSI:

"With our strategy, announced in February, we focus on creating value through active management and improving the quality of the portfolio through asset rotation. The first non-core asset sales are the first steps in the execution of this asset rotation strategy.

The sale of non-core assets remains one of our priorities. At the same time we see that the investment market continues to pick up. The number of transactions is increasing, also in the mid-segment at realistic price levels. Also given the level of revaluations we have taken now, we will start to focus on acquisitions as well.

The letting market remains challenging. Nevertheless, we are cautiously optimistic that the rental levels of new leases are stabilizing in the retail portfolio. The office market continues to demonstrate that our strategy is right. Given the oversupply in this market, offering the right proposition is key, as our HNK concept proves; HNK achieved an organic growth of almost 10%. The rollout of HNK is obviously also one of our priorities. "'

Strategic progress

The strategy of NSI is focused on operational excellence and transforming the current portfolio into a high quality core portfolio and a "value add" portfolio. In order to put management time and capital at work in the most efficient way, non performing assets will be divested to reinvest the released capital into high quality core products or in "value-add" properties that can support the roll out of HNK.

The execution of this 'asset rotation' strategy will decrease the risk and increase the occupancy and quality of the portfolio, while maintaining a strong balance sheet. NSI sold 5 assets in the running year, including both non-core assets and value-add asset of which the value was optimised.

As previously indicated, NSI has a prudent acquisition strategy in view of its balance sheet. The level of negative revaluations taken in the 1st half of 2014, and the increasing number of transactions taking place in the mid-segment at realistic price levels, show that the time has come to take advantage of acquisition opportunities. Possible acquisitions must have the potential to evolve to the core portfolio or should support the further roll-out of HNK.

The roll-out of the flexible full service leasing concept HNK to 20 assets, as defined in the strategic targets for 2016, is progressing. There will be 7 HNK's in operation as per year-end. As per 30 June 2014, HNK's generate 7% of the gross rental income of the Dutch office portfolio.

Outlook 2014

The Dutch economy is showing cautious growth. Also consumer spending turned positive after years of decline to a marginal growth of 0.1%. Consumer confidence is gaining since the summer of 2013, but is still sub-zero. For 2014 the Dutch economy is expected to grow slightly by 0.75%.

The letting market remains relentlessly challenging, as also demonstrated by the earlier stated expectation of NSI that the rental income will decrease in 2014, but will be offset by lower financing costs. For 2014, NSI expects the direct result to be at least equal to the direct result in 2013 (€46.3 million).

9,980 16,254 54,748 37,468 68% 72.6% 9%

The occupancy rate increased to 72.6% compared with 71.7% as per 31 March 2014 (year-end 2013: 72.1%), mainly as a result of the sale and reclassification of a number of non-core assets (approx. 15,000 sqm).

NSI signed 6,311 sqm of new leases (take-up) in the Dutch office portfolio in the 2nd quarter, totalling the total take up in the 1st half-year to 11,030 sqm, which represents 2.3% of the total take-up in the Dutch office market1 while NSI's portfolio represents 1.2% of the total market. The take-up/supply ratio2 was 9%.

In the remaining months of 2014 13% of the contracts can expire. The peak in the remaining expirations is formed by a number of larger contracts, including contracts with the Central Government Real Estate Agency (RGD) and ProRail, which will expire at year-end.

The retention rate amounted to 68% in the first half year of 2014.

The effective rent level of new leases, taking incentives into account, amounted to €120 per sqm over the last 12 months (€129 per sqm in the first half of 2014). The effective rent level for the overall Dutch office portfolio amounted to €148 per sqm as per 30 June 2014 (31 March 2014: €143 per sqm). The average lease duration of the portfolio was 3.7 years as per 30 June 2014.

HNK

The roll-out of the HNK concept is progressing according to plan. HNK Den Haag, comprising approx. 15,000 sqm, is scheduled for opening in October 2014. HNK Apeldoorn (approx. 14,000 sqm), for which the first leasing contracts have been signed already, is expected to open in December 2014. This brings the total HNK assets in operation on 7 as per year-end 2014, comprising 75,000 sqm in total (12% of the Dutch office portfolio).

The HNK assets continue to perform well. The occupancy rates were 55.6% in HNK Rotterdam 73.3% in HNK Hoofddorp and 58.5% in HNK Utrecht. HNK Amsterdam Houthavens has been opened in March 2014 and HNK Groningen in May 2014. These buildings were already managed with a 'multi-tenant' approach, resulting in occupancy rates of 83.3% (Amsterdam Houthavens) and 63.7% (Groningen).

The gross rental income from HNK amounted to €1.9 million in the 1st half-year of 2014, representing 7% of the gross rental income of the Dutch office portfolio. The gross rental income of HNK showed an organic growth of 9.7%in the 2nd quarter of 2014 compared with the 1st quarter of 2014.

NSI invested €1.4 million in HNK in the 1st half-year of 2014, bringing the current cumulative investments in the HNK rollout to €7.8 million, out of the total 3-years investment plan of €31.0 million.

The retail climate in the Netherlands shows an improving trend, but remains challenging. After years of decline in consumer spending, the trend turned into a marginal positive growth of 0.1% in May 2014. Consumer confidence is gradually improving since the summer of 2013, but is still sub-zero.

The occupancy rate of the retail portfolio improved from 83.9% as per 31 March 2014 to 87.7% as per 30 June 2014 (year-end 2013: 87.8%). The contract with Primark in shopping center Zuidplein effectuated mid June 2014, after that NSI adapted the retail unit to the requirements of Primark.

NSI realized several new lettings in the 1st half-year of 2014, amongst other in shopping centre In de Bogaard, where German fashion brand Gerry Weber and foodchain Subway have opened a store.

In the remaining months of 2014, 3% of the contracts can expire.

The effective rent level of new leases, taking incentives into account amounted to €163 per sqm in the first half of 2014. The effective rent level for the overall Dutch retail portfolio amounted to €186 per sqm as per 30 June 2014. The average lease duration of the portfolio increased from 4.1 to 4.2 years as per 30 June 2014.

The redevelopment of the Zuiderterras, part of the shopping centre Zuidplein in Rotterdam, is progressing according to plan. In parallel with the work being done for the Primark store, works have been done to adjust the ground floor and to modernise the parking facilities. Also the rebuilding of shopping centre 't Loon is on schedule. The newly built area for the new store of C&A has been delivered in June 2014, and will be opened after the fitting out by C&A in September. Subsequently, the existing area will be renovated and merged with the newly built area, after which the new store is planned to be opened in March/April2015

Belgium

.

The occupancy rate of the portfolio of Intervest Offices & Warehouses increased slightly to 84.8% as per 30 June 2014 (31 March 2014: 84.5%, 31 December 2013: 85.0% ), due to a slight increase in the office portfolio to 82.6% (31 March 2014: 81.9%, 31 December 2013: 82.3%) and a slight decrease in the logistic portfolio to 90.2% (31 March 2014: 90.7%, 31 December 2013: 91.3%).

The letting activities in the 1st half of 2014were mainly focused on renewals. In total, contracts representing 16% of the annual gross rental income have been renewed. Intervest Offices & Warehouses renewed leases with 3 of its top ten largest tenants; the contract with Hewlett Packard Belgium (13,574 sqm in Mechelen Business Tower), representing 6% of the annual rental income, has been renewed until 2025 (break options in 2019 and 2022), the contract with Nike Europe (50,912 sqm in Herentals Logistics 2), representing 5% of the annual rental income, has been renewed until 2018 and 2019, and the first break option in the contract with CEVE Logistics Belgium (24,721 sqm in Boom Krekelenberg), representing 3% of the annual rental income, has been extended until 2016.

The average lease duration of the Belgian office portfolio was 3.8 years an of the logistics portfolio 4.5 years as per 30 June 2014.

3 NSI previously reported retail and large scale retail as one segment. Given the strategic focus, NSI will now report the retail segment separately.

Financial report

Total investment result

The total investment result, consisting of the balance of the direct and the indirect investment result, amounted to -€69.0 million in the 1st half-year of 2014(1st half-year 2013: -€ 43.3 million).

Direct investment result

NSI uses the direct investment result (rental income less operating costs, service costs not recharged, administrative costs and financing costs) as a measure for determining its dividend.

The direct investment result amounted to €24.5 million (HY 2013: €25.5 million) in the 1st half-year of 2014 as a result of lower net rental income, largely offset by lower financing costs.

Gross rental income amounted to €67.0 million (HY 2013: € 73.6 million), amongst other due to the sale of assets (€3.2 million).

The occupancy rate of the total portfolio increased to 79.7% as at 30 June 2014, compared to 78.5% as at 31 March 2014 (yearend 2013: 79.5%).

Gross rental income HY 2013 up to HY 2014

The organic (like-for-like) rental development of the retail portfolio was significantly impacted by redevelopments in shopping centres Zuidplein and 't Loon. The impact of the strategic early termination of the contract with MediaMarkt Saturn, to be able to facilitate Primark, was approx. -€0,5 million. The impact of shopping centre 't Loon in the organic growth was approx. -€0.8 million. The effect of 2 bankruptcies (Free Record Shop and De Block) was approx.-€0.1 million. A contract with a tenant in the home furniture market was terminated (-€0.1 million) in the retail portfolio, even as in the large scale retail portfolio, of which the combined effect with a temporary rent reduction amounted to -€0.5 million. The organic growth in the industrial portfolio reflects the expiration of a large contract, after which the asset will be sold. Furthermore, the contract with the largest tenant (Menlo) in this segment has been renewed.

The effective rent level of new leases is below the rent level of expiring contracts in both the retail and the office portfolio. The effective rent level of new leases in the retail portfolio amounted to €163 per sqm in the 1st half-year of 2014, compared to an average rent level of €186 per sqm in the total retail portfolio. The effective rent level of new leases in the Dutch office portfolio amounted to €120 per sqm over the last 12 months, compared to an average rent level of €148 per sqm in the total Dutch office portfolio.

Gross rental income Q1 2014 up to Q2 2014

On a quarterly basis, the organic growth development was mainly impacted by the strategic early termination of the contract with MediaMarkt Saturn, to be able to facilitate Primark (approx. -€0.1 million) and a temporary rent reduction, with retroactive effect over two quarters, with a large tenant in large scale retail (approx. -€0,35 million).

Service costs not recharged to tenants (€2.9 million) increased in the 1st half of 2014, compared with the 1st half of 2013 (€2.4 million) also due to final settlements related to preceding years (€0.2 million).

The increase in operating costs to €9.2 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1st half-year 2013: €8.8 million) mainly reflects the intensified efforts required to acquire new tenants and the necessity to invest in upgrading properties. Furthermore, 2013 includes the positive effect of the refurbishment fees in Belgium .

The administrative costs increased to €3.8 million in the 1st half-year (1st half-year 2013: €3.1 million).

Financing costs significantly decreased in the 1st half-year to €21.3 million compared with the 1st half-year of 2013 (€29.7 million), following the debt redemption and improved interest rates following the equity placement in November 2013. This is partly being offset by temporarily slightly higher financing costs in Belgium as result of the bond issued in April 2014.

Indirect investment result

The indirect investment result for the 1st half-year of 2014 amounted to €93.5 million negative. The indirect investment result consists of both realized revaluations (sales results on investments sold) and unrealized revaluations. These unrealized revaluations concern the changes in the market value of the property portfolio (-€90.0million) and the interest hedging instruments (-€3.9 million).

The realised revaluations include the result on sales (-€0.7million) of an industrial asset, an office asset and 48 residential units in the Netherlands and the sale of a semi-industrial asset in Belgium. On average, the properties were sold 9.2% below book value, mainly due to the sale of the Belgian asset. The Dutch properties were sold around book value.

The negative value of the derivatives increased as result of the lower rates.

NSI utilizes interest-rate hedging instruments exclusively to limit operational interest rate risks. There is no 'over-hedging situation' and NSI is not exposed to margin calls. The value of the financial derivatives automatically reverts to zero at the end of the duration of these instruments.

The downward revaluation of the Dutch office portfolio in the 1st half-year of 2014 was -€87.4 million (1st half-year of 2013: €83.6 million). The value of the Dutch office portfolio decreased by €59.5 million in the 1st half-year due to persisting pressure on market rents and yields. The revaluation in the Dutch retail portfolio amounted to -€22.4 million, mainly as a result of pressure on yields.

The revaluation in the Belgian portfoli0 was - €2.1 million in the office portfolio and -€0.4 million in the industrial portfolio.

Balance sheet and financing

The value of the real estate investments amounted to €1,722.7 million on 30 June 2014 (ultimo 2013 €1,808.8 million). This is the result of the balance of investments, disposals and revaluations.

The loan-to-value (LtV) increased to 47.8% as per 30 June 2014 compared with year-end 2013 (45.4%), which is a significant improvement compared to 30 June 2013 (58.9%) due to the debt reduction after the equity placement in November 2013. NSI is committed to maintain the LtV level below 50%.

Debts to credit institutions amounted to €823.1 million as per 30 June 2014 (ultimo 2013: €821.9 million).

Intervest Offices & Warehouses successfully placed 2 bonds for a total amount of €60 million, with maturities of respectively 5 years (€25 million, interest rate 3.430%) and 7 years (€35 million, interest rate 4.057%), expiring respectively on 1 April 2019 and 1 April 2021. The proceeds have been used to repay temporary committed bank facilities. These bonds will replace the current outstanding bond of 75 million with a coupon of 5.1%, which will be repaid on 29 June 2015. Until then, the financing costs will be temporarily higher.

In the Netherlands, 2 financing agreements for in total €43 million with Pfandbrief banks were extended in Q1 2014. A €23 million loan was extended until July 2016 and a €20 million loan was extended until May 2017.

Equity

NSI's equity decreased to €847.8 million in the 1st half year of 2014 (ultimo 2013: €932.9 million), mainly as the result of the negative total investment result of €65.3 million and the final dividend 2013 (€19.8 million).

The number of outstanding shares remained unchanged in the 1st half of 2014. The net asset value (including deferred tax and the market value of the derivatives) amounted to €5.02 per share on 30 June 2014 (ultimo 2013: €5.59). If the deferred tax and the value of the derivatives are excluded (the net asset value according to EPRA), the net asset value amounts to €5.31 per share on 30 June 2014 (ultimo 2013: €5.85).

Financial ratios

The funding available to the company under the committed credit facilities as at 30 June 2014 amounted to €210.5 million (ultimo 2013: €150.8 million).

The average remaining maturity of the loans improved from 2.2 to 2.3 years. The fixed interest part or the mortgaged loans increased from 82.4% (31 December 2013) to 88.8% as per 30 June 2014, mainly as result of the (temporary) redemption of bank facilities in Belgium as a result of the bond issued in April.

The average costs of debt funding (including margins) decreased from 4.8% as at year-end 2013 to 4.7% as per 30 June 2014. The average cost of debt is based on the current interest margins by quarter end, which does not reflect the average interest margin for the period. The interest coverage ratio amounted to 2.6 as per 30 June 2014 .

Interim dividend HY 2014

The interim-dividend for the 1st half-year of 2014 amounts to €0.13 per share in cash, which reflects a pay-out of 76% of the direct result, in accordance with the dividend policy of distributing at least 75% of the direct result, as adopted in the annual meeting of shareholders held at 26 April 2014. The dividend will be made payable on 20 August 2014.

Developments in the portfolio

The value of the real estate portfolio decreased by €86.1 million to €1,722.7 million in the first half of 2014 (year-end 2013: €1,808.8) This decrease is the result of revaluations of (- €90.0 million), disposals of (€7.5 million) and investments (€11.4 million.

Assets sold in the 1st half-year included an industrial asset (Tijnmuiden in Amsterdam), an asset (Max Euwelaan, Rotterdam) and 48 residential units (Zevenkampse Ring Rotterdam), meaning that NSI sold its last remaining residential units in its portfolio. In Belgium, a semi-industrial asset was sold (Riyadstraat, Meer).

On average, the assets have been sold 9.2% below the bookvalue, mainly as result of the sale of the Belgian asset.

After balance sheet date, NSI reached agreement regarding the sale of 2 office assets (Kobaltweg in Utrecht, approx. 10,000 sqm and Luchthavenweg in Eindhoven, approx. 2,000 m 2 ). The transactions have been completed in July 2014

NSI continues its efforts to divest assets that strategically no longer fit with its portfolio focus or of which the value potential has been optimised.

The most important investments included the roll out of HNK (€1.4 million), the redevelopment of Zuiderterras in Rotterdam (€ 2.8 miljoen) and the reconstruction of shopping centre 't Loon (€ 2,7 miljoen).

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

1. Reporting entity

NSI N.V. is a company domiciled in The Netherlands (headquartered in Hoofddorp , statutory seat in Amsterdam). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ('interim financial statements') as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2014 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interests in associates and joint ventures.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Management and Supervisory Board on 6 August 2014

(b) Judgements and estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements, Management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements 2013, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2014. The Group applies, for the first time, certain standards and amendments that require restatement of previous financial statements. These include IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and Changes in IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation – offsetting financial assets and liabilities. As required by IAS 34, the nature and the effect of these changes are disclosed below. Several other new standards and amendments applicable for the first time in 2014 However, these do not have an impact, or do not have a material impact, on the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group or the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The nature and the impact of each new standard/amendment is described below:

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. This amendment did not have an impact on the consolidation of the entities.

IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 Investment entities

The changes provide for an exception to the consolidation rules in IFRS 10 and require that investment entities measure specific subsidiaries at fair value via the income statement and not through consolidation of these subsidiaries. The changes also include disclosure requirements for investment entities. This amendment has no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

IFRS 11 Joint arrangements

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in joint ventures that are jointly controlled. Under IFRS 11 the structure of the joint agreements is still an important, but no longer the most important factor for determining what type of joint agreement applies and how this agreement then has to be recognised.

  • The share of the group in a joint activity, being an agreement by which parties have rights to the assets and have primary obligations arising from the liabilities, must be recognised on the basis of the group's share in these assets and liabilities.
  • The share of the group in a joint venture, being an agreement by which parties have rights to net assets, must be recognised using the equity method.

The Group is not involved in a joint arrangement.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities

IFRS 12 brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Group is currently assessing the disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, interests in joint arrangements and associates and unconsolidated structured entities in comparison with the existing disclosures. IFRS 12 requires the disclosure of information about the nature, risks and financial effects of these interests.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

As a result of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 the name of IAS 28 has changed to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. This describes the application of the equity method for investments in joint ventures and associates. This improvement has no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

Changes in IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation – offsetting financial assets and liabilities

The changes explain the criterion that an entity "has a legally enforceable right of set-off of the stated amounts". It also explains the application of the set-off systems on clearing systems (such as systems with a central clearing institution) that do not simultaneously apply gross clearing mechanisms. This change does not affect NSI, because the Group does not offset financial instruments.

9. Real estate investments

The development of the real estate investments in operation and under development was as follows:

HY 2014 HY 2013
Real estate investments in operation 1,709,318 1,918,978
Real estate investments under development 13,426 21,450
Total 1,722,744 1,940,428

Real estate investments in operation and real estate investments under development are accounted for at fair value. The fair value is determined on the basis of one of the following levels in the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: valuation on the basis of quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: values based on (external) observable information;

Level 3: values based wholly or partially on not (external) observable information.

All real estate investments are defined as level 3. All real estate investments in Belgium are being appraised every quarter by an independent external appraiser. Effective from 1 January 2014, NSI appraises its Dutch portfolio two times a year externally - approximately 50% of the portfolio as at 30 June and 50% as at 31 December. These valuations are compared with the internal valuations and analysed with regard to the methods and assumptions used and the results. Internal valuations are based on a consistent and uniform method, in terms of both time and country. These valuations are part of an integrated ERP system that links up with letting registers and other supporting business data.

Per 30 June 2014, 66.1% of the real estate investments have been externally appraised by independent, certified appraisers and all other properties have been externally appraised within the year. The fair value is based on market value (purchasing costs payable by purchaser, thus adjusted for acquisition costs like real estate transfer tax), which is the estimated amount for which a real estate investment can be traded on the valuation date between a buyer willing to enter into a transaction and a seller in an at arms' length transaction preceded by sound negotiations in which the parties are properly informed and were willing to enter into the transaction.

When no actual market value in an active market is available, valuations are being determined on the basis of a net initial yield calculation, in which the net market rents are being capitalized. The yields applied are specific to the country, property type, location, state of maintenance and lettability of each asset. The basis for the determination of the yields is based on comparable transactions, complemented by market and asset specific knowledge.

The table below summarises the valuation technique which is used for determining the fair value, as well as the significant unobservable inputs being used.

Valuation technique Significant non-observable input Interrelationship between significant
unobservable inputs and measurement of
the fair value
Net Initial Yield calculation.
The valuation model considers the
present value of cash flow from
investments, taking into account
the expected increases in rent
levels, periods of vacancy, the
occupancy rate, letting costs, such
as rent-free periods and other rent
incentives not being paid by the
tenant. The expected net cash flows
are discounted using a risk
adjusted discount rate. In
estimating the discount rate,
among other things , the quality
and location of the object, the
creditworthiness of the tenant and
the lease conditions are taken into
account.

Forecasted growth of the market rent
(1%).

Periods of vacancy (on average 12
months after termination of a lease
agreement).

Improved occupancy rate (weighted
average 79.7%).

Rent-free period.

EPRA Net Intital yield (average 6.6%)
The estimated fair value would increase
(decrease) if:

The expected growth of market rent were
higher (lower)

The periods of vacancy were shorter
(longer).

The occupancy rate were higher (lower)

The rent-free periods were shorter
(longer).

EPRA Net Intital Yield is lower (higher)

The returns described in the management report represent market practice and are calculated by the (theoretical) net rent of the real estate property divided by the fair value expressed as a percentage. The total EPRA net Initial yield as of 30 June 2014 was 6.6% (31 December 2013: 6.3%). The EPRA net Initial Yields were 6.7% for the Netherlands (2013: 6.3%) and 6.4% for Belgium (2013: 6.3%). The yields are specific to the country, real estate type, location, state of repair and leas ability of the object. The basis for determining the yields are comparable transactions supplemented with market and property-specific knowledge. Comparable transactions in the market were also taken into account in the valuation.

The most important valuation assumptions are:

Average net yield (in %) 8.8 9.0 8.1 8.2
Vacancy 22.4 22.7 15.2 15.0

Assumptions are made per property, per tenant and per vacant unit based upon the possibility of (re)letting, expected duration of vacancy, incentives and letting costs.

Sensitivity analysis

The value of the real estate investments implies an average net yield of 8.5% (2013: 8.5%). If the yields applied in the calculation to determine the valuation of real estate investments as per 30 June 2014 would be 100 basis points lower than those currently used, the value of the real estate investments would increase by 13.3% (2013: 13.4%). NSI's equity would in this case increase by €228.8 million (2013: €242.0 million. The loan-to-value would then decrease from 47.8% to 42.2% (2013: 40.1%). In case the net yield would have been 100 basis points higher, the opposite would apply.

Fair value hierarcy

The table below shows recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorized into different levels in the fair values hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: valuation on the basis of quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: values based on (external) observable information; Level 3: values based wholly of partially on not (external) observable information.

Level 2 apply to all derivative financial instruments; the counterparty uses a model in which fair value is determined on the basis of direct or indirect observable market data.

Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on broker quotes. These quotes are periodically tested for reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using a market interest rate for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty when appropriate.

The derivative financial instruments have the following maturities:

Number of
contracts
nominal fair value
assets 2014

liabilities 2014
Up to 1 year 3 30,000 - 258

Total derivatives index 2 54,000 44 -

Total derivatives 28 520,625 44 41,152

NSI limits its interest-rate risk by swapping the majority of the variable interest it pays on its loans into a fixed interest rate, by means of contracts with fixed interest rates varying from 1,2725% to 4,613% and with maturity dates between 2015 and 2022. The market value of the financial derivatives amounted to - €41.2 million as at 30 June 2014.

The weighted average remaining maturity of the financial derivatives is 3.4 years. NSI is hedged at a weighted interest rate of 3.1%, excluding margin. 5.3% of the current loans and credit facilities are subject to variable interest and are therefore not hedged.

14. Other payables and accrued liabilities

The largest items recognized under the other payables and accrued liabilities concern prepaid rent of €10.5 million, payable operational costs of €11.0 million and payable interest of €5.6 million.

15. Liabilities not appearing on the balance sheet

Disposals

By the end of June 2014, NSI reached agreement on the sale of the following:

  • an office at de Luchthavenweg in Eindhoven (purchase price €1.9 million), transport on 1 July 2014;
  • an office at de Kobaltweg in Utrecht (purchase price €1.5 million), transport op 1 July 2014.

Management Board Statement

The Management Board states that, as far as it aware that:

  • this interim report, which has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, the financial position and the results of NSI and the companies included in the consolidation as a whole;
  • the interim report provides a true and fair view on the condition as at the balance sheet date and the course of business during the half year under review of NSI N.V. and the related companies of which the data have been included in the interim statement, and the expected course of business; and
  • the interim report includes a true and fair review of the information required pursuant to section 5:25d,subsections 8 and 9 of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht).

As described in detail in the annual report 2013, NSI's business is exposed to certain risks. NSI considers the credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk and currency risks as financial risks. Also market risks are being recognised.

Risks

Reference is made to the annual report 2013 with regards to existing risks. Market risks include changes in the economic environment and availability of funding in the credit markets, which is partially related to the euro crises, which may effect both the letting prospects as well as the market value of the properties. Market circumstances led to high negative revaluations of real estate in the preceding periods and it is uncertain when this will change.

Review report To: the General Meeting of shareholders of NSI N.V.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information on page 14 to page 28, as at 30 June 2014 of NSI N.V., Hoofddorp (Statutory seat in Amsterdam), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of movements in shareholders' equity, and the consolidated cash flow statement for the 6-month ended 30 June 2014, and the notes. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
