IMMOBEL Group Business

a) BELGIUM

Sales and deliveries:

  • Residential:
    1. During the first half of 2012, IMMOBEL continued to sell apartments in the Jardins des Sittelles in Brussels (Woluwe), Résidence Saint-Hubert in Liège (50 % stake) and Résidence Vallée du Maelbeek in Brussels (50 % stake) projects.
    1. Marketing of the intergenerational Bella Vita project in Waterloo (50 % stake) started last May. In just under 7 weeks, nearly 40 % of the 269 housing units for sale were reserved by potential buyers.
  • Landbanking: During the first half year the Landbanking department sold 88 plots.

Finance:

In the first half of 2012, the Group obtained or renewed 8 credit lines and guarantees for a total of 473 MEUR (IMMOBEL' share equals 241 MEUR).

Once again this confirms the confidence the Group's banks in the company and its projects.

In mid-February 2012 IMMOBEL also raised an extra 10 MEUR over and above the 30 MEUR raised by the private bond placement issued in December 2011, with the collaboration of BNP Paribas Fortis and under the same conditions.

As a consequence of the development of the different growth projects, the net financial debt/equity ratio increased and could still increase.

b) GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG

Sales of apartments in the Green Hill (participation (50 %) project continue at a good pace (74 units on 127 apartments for sale).

c) POLAND

Sales: In March 2012, IMMOBEL sold a non-strategic plot for a residential development in the order of 5,000 m² in Warsaw, as well as 80 % of its stake (50 %) in the company, Bitra Enterprise Sp. z o.o. It retained a plot situated in Warsaw for the development of approximately 65,000 m² of offices.

Permits and work: last June IMMOBEL obtained an "occupancy permit" for the Okraglak office project in Poznan.

Furthermore, following the acquisition of new projects, IMMOBEL has reinforced its development team.

Events since 1st July 2012

There have been no significant events since 1st July 2012 that are likely to alter the financial statements.

Outlook for the financial year 2012

Unfavourable conditions persist in the office market in Brussels and IMMOBEL considers that there will be no fundamental change in this market in the short term. IMMOBEL profits otherwise from its presence in both the residential and landbanking markets in Belgium and in Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as well as from its increasing activities in Poland.

The full year results 2012 are depending on the conclusion of some major contracts which the Company expects to conclude before the end of the year or in the first semester of next year.

In view of its portfolio of good quality projects and the negotiations currently underway, the Board of IMMOBEL is confident of the Company's profitable development.

Main risks and uncertainties

In accordance with Article 13 of the Royal Decree of 14.11.2007, it can be confirmed that the fundamental risks facing the company for the remainder of the financial year are no different from those described on page 76 of the Annual Report 2011.

Current uncertainties relating to the development of the economic climate, real estate markets and funding availability may require, in circumstances that at this stage cannot be anticipated, new risk evaluation. IMMOBEl will see to it that it identifies and isolates these new risks and limits any negative effects these may have on the company and its shareholders.
