Hoorn - The third quarter of 2009 featured continuing strong operational results by Nieuwe Steen Investments (NSI). The increase of the direct result in Q3 compared to Q2 was the result of lower service costs not recharged (14.4%), lower exploitation costs (14.3%) and lower interest expenses (2.0%), while net rental income almost remained at the same level (-0.8%). During Q3 NSI sold more properties than it purchased. As a consequence, interest expenses declined because the proceeds of sales were used to redeem loans.
Due to revaluations, the value of the real estate portfolio fell over the fi rst three quarters of 2009 by €39m. The decline in Q2 was €4.8m, and in Q3 €4.7m. The change from drastic revaluations to much more moderate revaluations seen in Q2 appears therefore to be continuing.
"In recent months, NSI has concentrated on strengthening its balance sheet by means of sales and issuance of new shares. This has led to an improvement in the LTV from 57.2% at the beginning of the year to 55% at the end of Q3. As a result, NSI is in a stronger position. At the same time we have been able to improve our operational result, thus demonstrating that we can maintain our result and dividend even in diffi cult economic conditions".
The direct investment result of €38.9m in the fi rst three quarters of 2009 was 3.9% higher than in the same period in 2008 (€37.4m). The direct investment result of €13.4m was higher than in Q2 2009 (€13m).
Net rental income rose in the fi rst three quarters of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 by €0.3m to €67.7m. The increase was due to organic rental growth and the balance of disposals and purchases. Compared to Q2 2009, net rental income in Q3 declined by €0.2m to €22.7m, because NSI sold more properties than it purchased in Q3 2009.
Compared to the same period in 2008, exploitation costs rose by €1.9m in the fi rst three quarters of 2009. This was due to higher maintenance costs (€0.6m) and the change in allocation of the property management. Since the end of 2008, the costs of property management have been set at 3% of the rental income and allocated to the exploitation costs. Service costs not recharged increased due to the rise in vacancy, especially in the offi ces portfolio.

| Switzerland | Gross rental income | 5,080 | 2,121 |
| Net rental income | 3,967 | 1,709 |
The indirect result in Q3 2009 amounted to - €9.1m. The indirect result consists of revaluation of real estate (- €4.7m), revaluation of derivatives (- €3.9m), the results of sales (- €0.2m) and allocated management costs (€0.3m). The decline in the value of the derivatives as a result of the low level of interest rates is a loss on paper only. When the derivative contracts expire in due course, the indirect investment result as a result of the negative revaluation will automatically revert to zero.

* gross yield is the theoretical annual rental income expressed in a percentage of the market value of the real estate portfolio.
Because of disposals and revaluations the balance sheet total declined from €1,429m as of end 2008 to €1,352m as of 30 September 2009 (€1,361m as of 30 June 2009). As a result of sales and the proceeds of the share issue, debts to credit institutions stand at €731.1m. The loan-to-value ratio decreased to 55.0% as of 30 September 2009, compared to 57.2% at end 2008 and 54.7% on 30 June 2009. The decrease of the loan-to-value is the net effect of the downward property revaluations as mentioned above, the redemption of loans due to property sales and the proceeds of the share issue.
Equity declined in Q3 2009 by €8.9m to €569.2m. This is the net result of the addition of the total investment result for Q3 2009 of €4.1m and the distribution of the interim dividend for Q2 2009 of €13m.
The net asset value as of 30 September 2009 (including deferred taxation and the market value of the derivatives) came to €14.46 per share, compared to €16.27 as of 31 December 2008 and €14.69 as of 30 June 2009.
The funding available to the company under the facilities committed as of 30 September 2009 was €61.1m (end 2008: €88.9m, 30 June 2009: €63.1m). As of 30 September 2009, the interest coverage ratio was 2.6 and the fi xed-interest part of the mortgage loans had moved from 93.8% (end 2008) to 93.9% as of 30 September 2009. The average remaining maturity of the loans decreased from 2.7 years at end 2008 to 2.1 years. The average interest rate (including margin) of the loans and derivatives was unchanged from end 2008 at 4.7%.
NSI has a very low refi nancing requirement during 2009 and 2010. A sum of €7.3m matures in 2009, with €154.7m maturing in 2010. The loans maturing are already covered by other facilities not yet taken up.
On 26 September 2009 NSI announced a shareholders' meeting to be held on 15 October 2009, at which an important agenda item was the appointment of a new fi nancial director (CFO). The nomination of Mr D.S.M. van Dongen was approved by the meeting with a large majority.
An interim dividend of €0.34 per share over Q3 2009 will be paid in cash charged to profi ts. Interim dividends amounting to €0.68 have already been distributed for the fi rst half of 2009. NSI shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 13 November 2009 and the dividend for Q3 2009 will be made payable on 20 November 2009.
During the fi rst three quarters of 2009, sales of real estate investments in the Netherlands were realised for a total of €49.6m. Sales in Q3 2009 consisted of two industrial buildings in Almere and Leiden, three offi ces in Breda, Maastricht and Den Bosch (with 6 apartments located on upper fl oors), a retail strip with offi ces above in Lelystad and a retail outlet in Uden, with a total value of €16.9m. Two other sales took place after 30 September 2009 with a total value of €8.3m. These concern offi ce premises in Bladel and in Meppel. The total sales proceeds realised in 2009 therefore amount to €57.9m.
On 16 July 2009 NSI took delivery of an industrial building in Gouda, purchased in January 2008. The purchase price for this fully let property of 4,873 m² was €7.3m.
As of 30 September 2009, the portfolio consisted of residential properties and 150 commercial properties, distributed across:
x € 1,000
x € 1,000
| The Netherlands | 1,225,972 |
|---|---|
| Switzerland | 104,331 |
| Total real estate investments | 1,330,303 |
Vacancy in the whole portfolio as of 30 September 2009 stood at 8.7% (end 2008: 7.6%, 30 June 2009: 8.7%). Per sector, the vacancy level was: 13.1% in offi ces, 6% in industrial and 2.9% in retail. Per 30 June, the vacancy per sector was: 12.8% in offi ces, 6.5% in industrial and 3.1% in retail.
The theoretical rental income from the real estate portfolio as of 30 September 2009 amounted to €112.5m per year, while the contractual rental income amounted to €102.8m.
The theoretical rental income per sector in the Netherlands and Switzerland as of 30 September 2009 was as follows:
| (x € 1,000) | The Netherlands | Switzerland | Total | Like-for-like growth* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Offi ces | 59,838 | 2,746 | 62,584 | 0.8% |
| Retail | 38,850 | 4,051 | 42,901 | 0.1% |
| Industrial | 5,754 | - | 5,754 | 0.7% |
| Residential | 664 | 629 | 1,293 | 0.9% |
| Totaal | 105,106 | 7,426 | 112,532 | 0.5% |
* like-for-like growth is 1 October 2009 compared to 1 January 2009. Like-for-like growth is the increase in net rental income based on a comparison of the net rental income from properties in exploitation on both 1 January 2009 and 1 October 2009.
In the absence of any extraordinary economic developments during 2009, NSI expects its direct investment result to be between €1.32 and €1.35 per outstanding share. Based on the expiration calendar the occupancy rate will remain well above 90%.
In view of the volatility of interest rates, no concrete forecast regarding the development of the value of the derivative instruments can be made. No forecast can therefore be given with regard to the company's indirect result.
Regarding operational activities, the emphasis will be on (re)letting. NSI will also focus on the potential for (re)development within the existing portfolio, continue to optimise the company's organisation and in doing so, the company will make a clear distinction between offi ces and retail. The build-up of the Swiss management organisation will be completed in November 2009. Since 1 August, a portfoliomanager is active in Switzerland, a part time administrator is active since 10 October and a technical project leader will start on 1 November.
The disposal programme of smaller properties (less than €5m) will continue.
