Rabobank Hoorn nr. 16.14.17.272
Hoorn - Q2 is charactarised by good operational results. Net rental income rose 3.5% compared to Q1 and 2.6% compared to the first six months of 2008. The direct result over the first half year of 2009 rose 2.3% to €25.5m, due to higher rental income and lower interest costs. Despite a fall in the occupancy rate, positive like-for-like growth of 0.6% on average was realised in all sectors.
Due to sales in the context of the divestment programme, and the share issue on 2 June 2009, the loan-to-value ratio fell further in Q2, from 57.0% to 54.7%, despite a slight decline in the valuation of the real estate. The effect of the sales on the loan-to-value was 0.2%, and the effect of the share issue came to 2.8%

Johan Buijs, CEO of Nieuwe Steen Investments, in response to the figures:
"We are pleased to be able to achieve a higher net rental income and a higher direct result than in Q1 2009, despite the difficult economic circumstances and the sales we have executed. This confirms that our portfolio and our tenants are sound, and that we are capable of generating higher rental income in difficult times.
The divestment programme initiated in September 2008 and the share issue placed on 2 June 2009 have strengthened our capital position, so that we are better able to withstand any further deterioration in the economy. We are also now in a position to take advantage of lower real estate values in due course."
The direct investment result of €25.5m in H1 2009 was 2.3% higher than in H1 2008 (€24.9m). Net rental income in H1 2009 rose in comparison to H1 2008 by €1.1m to €45.0m. The increase was due to purchases and organic growth. Net rental income in Q2 2009 was also higher than in Q1.
Exploitation costs in H1 2009 rose by €1.7m compared to H1 2008. Non-recharged service costs increased due to the rise in vacancy, especially in the offices portfolio. This was due to higher maintenance costs (€0.6m) and the change in allocation of the property management costs 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.

Fax: 0229 23 13 72 E-mail: [email protected] Rabobank Hoorn The new shares issued during Q2 2009 are fully entitled to the dividend. For the first half of 2009 an interim dividend charged to profit will be distributed of €0.68 per share in cash, of which €0.35 has already been distributed as interim dividend for Q1. The interim dividend distributed for Q2 is therefore €0.33. The decline in the interim dividend in Q2 is entirely due to the share issue, whereby the direct result has to be divided by a greater number of shares.
K.v.k. te Hoorn Nieuwe Steen Investments shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 14 August 2009 and the dividend for Q2 2009 will be made payable on 21 August 2009.
