Reinier van Gerrevink, Chief Executive Officer: 'In the past quarter retail markets proved to be challenging, with tenants wanting value for money. The healthy leasing activity and the high average occupancy rate of 95.2% show we were able to meet our tenant's expectations. In the past six months, the leasing activity was € 9.2 million spread throughout our core countries, including Spain, where we are prioritising improving the occupancy rate. In Belgium, too, significant lease renewals took place, securing the associated cash flows for the next few years.
The appraisals of our property portfolio contributed positively to the investment result. In terms of acquisitions we made good progress. After the acquisition in the Netherlands in the first quarter, in the second quarter we took over a portfolio of high street shops in a top city centre location in Bordeaux and reached agreement on the acquisition of a number of high street shops in a prime location in Namur, Belgium.
For the full year 2011 market conditions will remain challenging, resulting in a marginal decrease of the direct investment result per share before the one-off costs of the termination of the collaboration with VastNed Offices/Industrial.'
(in brackets: first half 2010)
VastNed Retail invests in high street shops, shopping centres and retail warehouses located in good and top locations in its core countries: the Netherlands, Spain, France, Belgium and Turkey. The value of the investment properties was € 2,096.2 million as at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: € 1,900.3 million).
The developments in the area of occupancy rate, rent levels, value movements, investments and disposals in the property portfolio in the first half of 2011 were as follows:
The average occupancy rate in the first half of 2011 was 95.2% (95.3%). The occupancy rate as at 30 June 2011 was 95.3% (30 June 2010: 95.0%). The marginal increase of the occupancy rate compared to 30 March 2011 (95.0%) was due in particular to improved occupancy rates in Spain, France and Turkey. In Spain we are prioritising improving the occupancy rate in order to maintain the quality of the shopping centres, even if this may occasionally result in lower rent levels. The occupancy rate by country was as follows.

The leasing activity in the first half of 2011 was € 9.2 million (€ 5.4 million) or 6.6% of gross rental income (4.1%). Leases were concluded on average at 3.1% below the former rent level (5.0% negative). In the second quarter in particular a number of significant leases were signed. In the Netherlands, VastNed Retail welcomed innovative fastfood concept store EXKi at Plein 11 (288 sqm). In Belgium, the leases with Decor Heytens were renewed at good conditions, while in Spain great efforts were made to maintain the occupancy rate of the portfolio. 33 new leases signed in the second quarter of 2011 were a key contribution to that objective. Retail outlets opening for business based on leases concluded recently are driving an improvement of operational activities in VastNed Retail's shopping centres in Spain. A case in point is the opening of an outlet of electronics chain Worten in Centro Comercial Montigalá in the Barcelona area in the first quarter of 2011. We are now looking forward to the opening of the Metropolitan Gym in the Centro Comercial Atalayas in Murcia at the end of Q3 2011. In Turkey, the occupancy rate of the property portfolio rose to 100% with the lease of the first and second floor of the retail property at Istiklal Caddesi 119 in Istanbul to a restaurant business. Furthermore, a long-term lease with Zara was concluded for 3,100 sqm at Istiklal Caddesi 161 in Istanbul. This former Yapi Kredi property is one of two properties in the development pipeline. Discussions are under way with interested parties for the other property, located at Istiklal Caddesi 85 in Istanbul, which will offer 3,200 sqm of retail space.

The value movements of VastNed Retail's property portfolio based on appraisals by independent appraisers and internal appraisals showed a total value movement of € 34.7 million positive (€ 14.5 million positive). The value increases were due to a strong preference for retail property in the property investment market. The theoretical net yield on the property portfolio was 6.4% (6.7%) as at 30 June 2011.

In March 2011, VastNed Retail acquired 33 retail units in the Walburg shopping centre in Zwijndrecht for € 40.4 million in total. The total lettable floor area of the acquired part is over 14,000 sqm; the annual rental income is approx. € 2.8 million. The units are mostly let to national retain chains such as HEMA, supermarket Jumbo, chemists chain Kruidvat, opticians Hans Anders and lingerie chain Hunkemöller. The net initial yield was 6.1%. In the beginning of May 2011 a portfolio of high street shops in prime locations in the city centre of the French city of Bordeaux was acquired for € 30.4 million in total. The total lettable floor area of the acquired part is 2,850 sqm; the annual rental income is approx. € 1.7 million. The tenants include national and international retail chains such as footwear chain Bata, surf fashion chain Oxbow, Etam Lingerie and designer fashion chain Max Mara. The portfolio was acquired from private investors at a 5% net initial yield.
After balance sheet date, the property portfolio in Belgium was strengthened with the acquisition of retail complex 'Jardin d'Harscamp' in Namur covering a total area of 2,596 sqm located at Place de l'Ange 4 in the prime shopping area of Namur (population 108,000). The property comprises a total commercial retail space of 2,228 sqm and 23 underground parking spaces. The complex currently contains 17 smaller shops with tenants including Club, Women'Secret and Belgique Loisirs. The retail units can relatively easily be combined into larger spaces. The current annual rental income is approx. € 0.5 million, which is far below its actual market rental value. The acquisition price of this property is approx. € 10.3 million, resulting in an initial yield of approx. 5%.

After deducting sales costs, a sales profit of € 1.2 million was recognised on these disposals.
The investment result in the first half of 2011 was € 63.1 million positive (€ 45.7 million positive). The investment result comprises the direct investment result, which remained virtually stable at € 33.6 million (€ 33.6 million) and the indirect investment result that reached € 29.5 million positive (€ 12.0 million positive) mainly due to positive value movements of the investment properties.
The gross rental income totalled € 65.6 million in the half of 2011 (€ 62.9 million). Of the increase, € 2.6 million was due to acquisitions in 2010 and 2011, and € 0.5 million to positive like-for-like growth. On the other hand, the gross rental income decreased by € 0.5 million due to disposals made in 2010 and 2011.

Operating expenses (including ground rents and net service charge expenses) These expenses rose to € 8.2 million (€ 7.0 million). This was due, next to the expansion of the property portfolio and net acquisitions, to higher net service charge expenses, maintenance and leasing costs, provisions for doubtful debtors and local taxes.
As stated earlier, the value movements of the investment properties in the first half of 2011 were € 34.7 million positive (€ 14.5 million positive).
The net result on disposals after deduction of sales costs was € 1.2 million positive compared to the appraisal value (€ 0.3 million positive).
The net financing costs including the value movements of financial derivatives rose to € 16.5 million (€ 16.3 million). The net interest expenses increased from € 15.2 million to € 16.9 million mainly due to higher interest-bearing debts due to acquisitions made in 2010 and 2011. The average interest rate on the total interest-bearing loan capital rose marginally to 4.19% (4.10%).
The movement of the interest rate derivatives not designated as full hedges under IFRS was € 0.4 million positive (€ 1.1 million negative).

In the first half of 2011, general expenses saw a limited increase to € 3.7 million (€ 3.5 million). The general expenses include the costs relating to the termination of the collaboration agreement with VastNed Offices/Industrial of € 0.3 million.
Income tax fell to € 0.2 million (€ 0.4 million) in the first half of 2011.
The movement of deferred tax assets and liabilities was € 2.3 million negative (€ 0.5 million negative), which was related to the value movements in the Spanish and Turkish property portfolios in particular.
The investment result attributable to minority shareholders of € 7.8 million (€ 4.3 million) consists of the direct and indirect investment results attributable to non-controlling interests of € 3.2 million (€ 3.2 million) and € 4.6 million positive (€ 1.1 million positive) respectively.
As at 30 June 2011, VastNed Retail's balance sheet showed a healthy financing structure with a loan-to-value of 42.9% (30 June 2010: 40.3%) and a solvency, being group equity plus deferred tax liabilities divided by the balance sheet total, of 53.8% (30 June 2010: 54.5%). With this solvency and an interest coverage ratio of 3.2, VastNed Retail complies with all the loan covenants. Financing contracts are usually concluded with covenants stipulating a minimum solvency of 45% and an interest coverage ratio of between 2.0 and 2.5.

As at 30 June 2011, 63.4% of the loan portfolio was long-term with an average duration of 3.6 years based on contract expiry dates. Of the long-term loans, an amount of € 138.1 million (already included under short-term loan capital) will expire in within one year. There are extension options for a significant portion of these expiring loans, which will be exercised. Due to the increased market rate, a value increase of financial derivatives was recognised directly in equity (2010: € 16.0 million negative). In order to limit the interest rate risk, at 30 June 2011 69.9% of the loan portfolio was fixed-interest with a duration of 4.2 years based on the interest review dates.

In accordance with its policy, VastNed Retail will pay out 60% of the direct investment result as interim dividend. This interim dividend will be € 1.09 (€ 1.10) per share. The ex-dividend date is 9 August 2011; the dividend will be made payable on 29 August 2011.
As stated earlier in a number of press releases, the market feels an increasing need for fully focused management. In this context, the termination proposal was approved at the general meeting of shareholders on 4 May 2011, so that the collaboration will end no later than 1 January 2012. After this date the funds will continue as independent investment companies with separate management structures. On 25 and 26 August 2011, the extraordinary general meetings of shareholders of VastNed Offices/Industrial N.V. and Nieuwe Steen Investments N.V. will take place in which a merger between the two companies will be proposed.
After the merger is approved by these company bodies, the eventual termination of the collaboration can be definitively drafted.
The ongoing disappointing economic development in Spain in particular makes it hard to further improve the occupancy rate at financially attractive terms. Assuming that the economic climate will not improve in the remainder of this year, the board of management of VastNed Retail anticipates for the full year 2011 a marginal decrease of the direct investment result per share before the costs of the termination of the management agreement.
In accordance with the transparency directive of the European Union as provided in Article 5.25(d) of the Financial Supervision Act, the board of management states that to the best of its knowledge:
the report of the board of management gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs at the balance sheet date and during the reporting period of VastNed Retail and its consolidated subsidiaries whose figures have been included in its financial interim report; the financial interim report gives a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, the financial position and the result of VastNed Retail and its consolidated subsidiaries; and the material risks facing VastNed Retail have been described in this report. For a more extensive description of the risks, we refer to the chapter Risk Management in the most recent annual report.
