Aalst, 22 February 2011. MONTEA (Euronext/MONT/MONTP) has published today its consolidated results for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010.

Based on these calculations. Montea will again register a debt ratio of approximately 55%. These calculations, however, do not take into account the results of future financial years, nor of the fall or rise of the property portfolio valuations

1 Net operational result without taking into account the result of the property portfolio (code XV, XVI and XVII of the profit-and-loss account) and without taking into account the variation in the fair value of the interest rate hedging instruments.

Following the definition of the RD of 10 April 1995.

This percentage was calculated as the difference in percentage between the fair value of the property portfolio at 31 December 2009, without taking into account new acquisitions, disinvestments of existing sites and investments on existing sites. If the investments on the existing sites are taken into account. Montea registers a limited negative variation of the fair value of the property portfolio (0.8%).

Occupancy rate as a percentage of the estimated rental value.

MONTEA'S STRATEGY $\mathbf{1}$

Logistic and semi-industrial property $\triangleright$

Montea believes in the long-term value of logistic and semi-industrial property. The complete life cycle of a logistic building is appreciably longer than in other institutional property categories. Architectural requirements, changing techniques, free headroom and other technical specifications evolve less quickly than in other segments, in office property, for example. When renovations are nevertheless called for during the life cycle, their cost in relation to the total value is lower than elsewhere. This makes logistic property an interesting long-term investment.

$\triangleright$ Pure player

Montea invests exclusively in logistic and semi-industrial property in order to be able to focus all its efforts on this niche. The Belgian and French teams consist of specialists in this branch, top-level experts in their field. In this respect, Montea distinguishes from numerous other funds that have chosen to diversify their assets, at the expense of a clear focus.

$\triangleright$ Final investor

Montea operates on the market as a final investor, with a long-term vison on its property portfolio. Montea benefits from its experience and its knowledge of the niche market in order to involve itself earlier in the development process, in collaboration with the other players, such as the developers and the land owners. The `built-to-suit' project implemented for Coca-Cola in 2010 is an interesting example of this vision.

2 IMPORTANT EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS DURING 2010

$2.1$ Investments during 2010

During financial year 2010, Montea concluded the following property transaction:

$\triangleright$ 19 July 2010 – Completion of the purchase of a new 'Class A' logistics platform of 75,000m2 in Saint-Cyr-en-Val (Orleans, France)

On 28 May 2010, a purchase contract, under suspensive conditions, of a new 'Class A' logistics platform (75,000m2) in Saint-Cyr-en-Val (Orleans)6 was signed.

All the suspensive conditions have been met since July 2010. The acquisition by Montea was therefore completed. The building, situated on a 'prime' location, near Orleans, along the A10/E05/E09 and E60 access roads, represents an investment of EUR 35.3 million. It is leased in its entirety to FM Logistics until 30/06/2019.

$6$ For more details on this subject, see the press release of 28/05/2010 (www.montea.com).

$2.2$ Development activity during 2010

During financial year 2010, Montea signed the contract for a first 'built-to-suit' development:

8 June 2010 - Signing of a contract for the development of a new sustainable and $\blacktriangleright$ logistic building for Coca-Cola Enterprises Belgium in Heppignies (Charleroi)

Together with Coca-Cola Enterprises Belgium, Montea sought a good site for the development of a distribution centre that will be especially designed for the former. The site will also meet the strictest sustainability standards. The distribution centre will be built on a site of $\pm$ 42,000 m2 in Heppignies. The land is in the immediate vicinity of the E42 motorway. which interconnects all the major cities of Wallonia. It is furthermore very close to the Brussels South Charleroi Airport.

The total investment is estimated at EUR 9.3 million, all expenses included. In theory, the new distribution centre will be operational in September 2011, date on which a leasing agreement will come into effect for a fixed term of twelve years. The maximum annual rent will amount to EUR 725,0007 and can be indexed on a vearly basis.

$2.3$ Disinvestment activity in Belgium and France during 2010

Within the context of its clear focus on its key activities and the optimisation of its property portfolio, Montea decided to sell four Belgian sites. The transactions underline the importance that Montea attaches to dynamic management of its property portfolio. The sale of these properties harmonzies with Montea's disinvestment policy, which entails the sale of smaller, non-strategic property and a focus on larger, logistic property.

10 February 2010 - Disinvestment of two semi-industrial buildings in Schoten $\mathbf{v}$

Montea proceeded with the sale of two semi-industrial buildings of 1,470 m2 and 3,605 m2 in Schoten. The two disinvestments result from the fact that these non-strategic sites no longer met certain property portfolio standards, namely the office/storage ratio and the average area per tenant. The sale represented an amount of EUR 3.28 million and a gain of EUR 0.13 million (EUR 0.04 per action) in relation to the fair value of the sites, which was EUR 3.05 million at 31/12/2009.

2 July 2010 - Disinvestment of the semi-industrial building in Buggenhout

Montea sold this semi-industrial building of 4,425 m2. The income from the sale amounted to EUR 0.9 million. The operation generated a surplus value of EUR 0.28 million in relation to the fair value at 30/06/2010.

21 January 2011 - Disinvestment of the semi-industrial building in Grobbendonk

Montea sold this semi-industrial building of 7,820 m2. The building was sold to Verstraete Real Estate for EUR 4.2 million. The operation generated a surplus value of EUR 0.15 million in relation to the fair value at 30/09/2010.

The gross initial return amounts to 7.8%.

$2.4$ Lease activity during 2010

The 2009 annual report mentioned that in 2010, Montea wanted to tackle its inoccupancy rate as its major priority. At the end of 2010, the objective was achieved, with an occupancy rate of 95%8 and are part of an active commercial policy.

$\triangleright$ New 9-year lease with Movianto and CAD Service on the Erembodegem (Aalst) site

In December 2009, Montea concluded a new 9-year lease agreement with Movianto (with possibility of cancellation after 3 years) for 7,747 m2 of conditioned warehouse space and 603 m2 office space, on the Erembodegem (Aalst) site)9. The rental period began on 1 January 2010. The new rental agreement represents an additional rental income of EUR 97K for the first half of 2010 (this new lease agreement amounts to a yearly rental income of EUR 351K).

Montea also concluded a 9-year lease agreement with CAD Service (with possibility of cancellation after 6 years) for 571 m2 office space on this site. The rental period began on 1 March 2010. The new lease agreement represents an additional rental income of EUR 8K for the first half of 2010 (this new lease agreement amounts to a yearly rental income of EUR 60K).

Furthermore, Montea has installed its own offices in the Aalst-Erembodegem site (656 m2). The registered office has been moved to this address. After conclusion of these lease agreements and the installation of Montea in the offices, the site currently still has 663 m2 of vacant space.

$\triangleright$ 9-year prolongation of the lease agreement with the VDAB on the Aalst-Tragel site.

In April 2010, Montea signed a prolongation of its 9-year lease agreement with the VDAB, on the Aalst-Tragel site. However, the new agreement does not contribute any additional rental income for the first half of 2010, because it is the prolongation of an existing agreement (this new lease agreement amounts to a yearly rental income of EUR 240K).

Prolongation of the lease agreement with Stork Intermes for 9 years for 2,470 m2 on the Berchem site

In July 2010, Montea and Stork Intermes S.A. prolonged their lease agreement for 2,470 m2 on the Berchem site40 for a fixed term of 9 years. The agreement generates a rental income of EUR 200,000 per year. Stork Intermes specialises in the sale of measuring and calibration equipment.

▶ 7,960 m2 leased for 9 years to S.M.I.W. SA on the Herstal-Milmort Site

In October 2010. Montea and S.M.I.W signed a 9-year lease (with possibility of cancellation after 6 years) for a unit of 7,960 $m^{211}$ . The new tenant, a specialist in storage, traceability, handling and inventory management, will be storing food products on the site. The Herstal-Milmort building, with its total surface area of 28,340 m2, represents 10% of Montea's property portfolio in Belgium. Close to the E313 (Antwerp direction) and the E40 (Liege direction) motorways, the site ideally lends itself to logistic activities.

Appointment of Jean de Beaufort for the position of Director France - Opening of $\triangleright$ Montea offices in Paris

In July 2010, Montea appointed a director for France14. Montea would thus like to consolidate its local presence. Jean de Beaufort started working in his new position on 1 August 2010.

$\triangleright$ Appointment of Peter Demuvnck for the position of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) in Belgium

In November 2010, Montea announced the appointment of Peter Demuynck for the position of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)16. Peter Demuynck has been working at Montea since January 2011. Montea is seeking to reinforce its commercial power, as well as to elaborate and to optimise its Belgian property portfolio. The CCO will be concentrating on the development of investment possibilities in Belgium, on the optimisation of the existing property portfolio, and on the continued improvement of the occupancy rate. The new CCO completes the Montea management team, which now comprises Jo De Wolf (CEO), Peter Snoeck (COO Belgium), Peter Verlinde (CFO) and Jean de Beaufort (Chief Executive Officer France).

$2.6$ Development of the results and the position of Montea

The net operational result of the property investment company amounted to EUR 7.94 million (EUR 1.72 per share)17, or 6.68% more than in 2009 (EUR 7.44 million).

This positive evolution of EUR 0.50 million resulted mainly from the following elements:

  • positive variation of the rental income of EUR 0.76 million (+ 4.67%):
  • additional rental income on the one hand:
    • investments concluded in 2009 which exerted their full impact during 2010;
    • investment on the Saint-Cyr-en-Val site (Orleans, France);
  • lower rental income on the other hand:
    • disinvestment of 3 sites (Schoten Jagersdreef, Schoten Brechtsebaan and Buggenhout);
    • inoccupancy of the Mechelen site (DHL). Meanwhile, the area has been leased to Pomax (see 'Lease activity');
  • negative variation of the company's property costs and overheads, to an extent of EUR 0.39 ⋗ million:
  • increase of the commercial expenses following the new lease agreements on the Milmort and Mechelen sites:
  • development of the competence centre in Paris for the expansion of the French property portfolio:
  • strengthening of the Montea management team.
  • $\triangleright$ negative variation of the other operational costs and incomes: EUR 0.57 million. These are mainly due to an exceptional one-off account with a tenant, for EUR 0.3 million, and a oneshot exceptional result of EUR 0.1 million for 200918.
  • Increase of the negative operational financial result with EUR 0.69 million, mainly explained by the fact that the average net cash resources for 2010 were higher than those of 2009 (especially because of the liquidities coming from the equity increase of July 2010 are not yet used), plus lower financial costs (no margin to be paid on the unused credit lines).

<sup>18 For more details on this subject, see the press release of 27 August 2009 or www.montea.com.

For more details on this subject, see the press release of 25 November 2010 or www.montea.com.

Average of 3,585,354 shares for first half of the year and 5,634,126 for second half of the year (after the equity increase). Last year, the net operational result was EUR 2.08 per share. The decrease results to a large extent from the dilution effect

$2.7$ Success of the equity increase of 2 July 2010 - Additional investment capacity of approximately EUR 80 million

On 2 July 2010, 2,048,772 new shares were issued in the context of a public offering, in cash, with priority rights, for the sum of EUR 39,951,054 (namely EUR 39,418,373,28 share capital and EUR 532,680.72 issuing premiums).

The equity increase was a success: the new shares, 100% subscribed, give Montea an additional investment capacity of approximately EUR 80 million.

At the end of the operation, Montea's share capital at 2 July 2010 amounted to EUR 108,382,735.61. It is henceforth represented by 5,634,126 equity securities. There are no preferential shares. Each share confers one vote at the Annual General Assembly. The shares therefore represent the denominator for the notification needs when the legal thresholds are not reached, are reached or are exceeded (transparency regulation).

2.8 As proposed in the prospectus: dividend of EUR 0.97 per share (for the first half of the year) and EUR 0.87 per share (for the second half of the year)

Following the equity increase, the prospectus put forward a dividend of EUR 0.97 per share for the first half of the year (for the 3.585.354 shares before the equity increase) and of EUR 0.87 per share for the second half of the year (for the 5,634,126 actions after the equity increase).

Montea has recorded a distributable restult of EUR 8,495,324.

The Board of Directors of Montea will propose to the Annual General Assembly to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.97 per share for the first half of the year (for the 3.585.354 shares before the equity increase) and of EUR 0.87 per share for the second half of the year (for the 5,634,126 shares after the equity increase). That represents a distribution percentage of 98.6%.

$2.9$ Net asset value of EUR 22.00 per share - EUR 23.14 per share excl. IAS 39

The net asset value at 31 December 2010 fell to EUR 22.00. That represented a reduction of EUR 1.5 or 6.48% in relation to 31 December 2009 (EUR 23.53). This fall is mainly explained by the dilution effect due to the equity increase and to the 2,048,772 newly issued shares.

2.10 Information on the court case in process

In 2006, the company entered into agreements that were to allow, if necessary, the contribution of certain buildings by merger or another operation. These agreements were subordinated to suspensive conditions, in particular concerning the town-planning requirements, by which compliance by contract was imposed by 31 March 2007.

Montea has already mentioned its summons by a third party in 2008. This third party believed that it was entitled to the contribution, by merger or another operation, of certain buildings. Montea had refused this contribution, judged on the basis of objective elements that the contractual conditions had not been met. Also, the third party in question had claimed compensation from Montea for EUR 5.4 million. Montea considers this claim to be groundless.

By its decision of 28 April 2009, the Commercial Court of Brussels found for Montea, sentencing the opponent to pay the costs of the proceedings. On 23 July 2009, the opponent lodged an appeal with the Appeal Court of Brussels. The parties have exchanged their submissions. It is possible that the judgement will occur during the course of 2011.

Montea sees no reason to change its policy because of this dispute.

The total surface of the property portfolio amounts to 392.338 m2, spread over 18 sites in Belgium and 12 sites in France.

The fair value of the property portfolio amounts to EUR 232.9919 million, that is to say an increase of 13.0% (EUR 26.74 million) in relation to 31 December 2009. This development results from:

  • the purchase of the Saint-Cyr-en-Val platform (Orleans, France) for the sum of EUR 34.04 million:
  • the fair value of the disinvestments: EUR 7.77 million;
  • increase in the fair value of the property portfolio at the end of 2009 and in 2010: EUR 0.46 million.

The gross property return20 over the whole of the portfolio reached 8.00% in Belgium and 8.71% in France, on the basis of an entirely rented portfolio, and taking the estimated rental inoccupancy value into account.

20 Definition of gross property return: contractual rental income divided by the fair value of the property portfolio.

$19$ At the "Property Investments" heading of the balance sheet, there is an amount of EUR 233.45 million. The difference (EUR 0.46 million) represents the activation of the 'built-to-suit' Coca-Cola project, not taken into account by the appraiser (EUR 1.20 million), and the Montea offices (part of the Erembodegem site), entered under 'Other Tangible Fixed Assets' (EUR 0.74 million).

The occupancy rate achieved by Montea over the whole of the portfolio (expressed as a percentage of the estimated rental value) reached 95.14%, and 95.13% on the basis of the occupied square metres. At the end of 2010, the occupancy rate had increased by 2.20% (on the basis of the square metres) in relation to 31 December 2009. This development results especially from the new lease activities at the end of 2010 (see 'Lease Activity').

The annual contractual rental income (excluding rental guarantees) reached EUR 18.35 million, that is to say 14.4% (EUR 2.31 million) more than at 31 December 2009. This results mainly from the purchase of the Saint-Cyr-en-Val platform (Orleans, France), an operation that compensates for the contractual rental value of disinvestments.

$\overline{21}$ The Auditor, Ernst & Young Company Auditors, represented by Christel Weymeersch, confirms that its fundamental audit operations, carried out in accordance with the general standards of the Institute of Auditors, did not reveal any significant corrections to be made to the financial information mentioned by this press release. The principles and accounting methods applied for the establishment of the financial statements are unchanged in relation to the principles and methods used for drawing up the annual accounts of the financial year ending on 31 December 2009.

$3.2$ Comments related to the consolidated profit-and-loss account at 31 December 2010

The rental income of financial year 2010 amounted to EUR 17,097,331, that is to say 4.67% more than for the same period of 2009 (EUR 16,334,393). This increase is mainly explained by the investment in the Orleans platform (second half of financial year 2010) and by a complete rental income, for the whole of 2010, from the investments completed in 2009 (Brosette - Lyon), compensating for the rental income loss due to the Belgian disinvestments.

The property result at 31/12/2010 increased to EUR 16,718,135. It rose by 4.74% in relation to the same period of the previous year (EUR 15,961,650). The increase in the financial result, a little larger than that of the rental income, is mainly explained by the "management fees" invoiced on the new lease agreements.

The operating margin22 reached 77.31% at 31/12/2010, versus 82.19% at 31/12/2009. Not taking into account the non-recurring profit of financial year 2009 (see Point 2.6), last year's margin was 79.59%. Montea thus records a fall of 2.28% of its trading margin. The phenomenon is explained by the development of the Parisian skills centre, the expansion of the French property portfolio and the reinforcement of the Montea management team.

The new management team will endeavour to pursue portfolio growth. The spreading out of the fixed charges on a larger portfolio will make the operating margin increase. Montea is targeting an operational margin of 80%.

The result on the property portfolio at 31/12/2010 amounted to EUR -1.358.004 (EUR -16,033,498 at 31/12/2009). It results from:

  • $\triangleright$ negative variations of the property portfolio in Belgium and France, for the sum of EUR -1,906,364. This negative variation is the result of:
  • a negative variation of the property portfolio in Belgium, to the extent of EUR -4,661,986 (-3.25% of the fair value at the end of 2009, account not taken of the preceding financial year's sales), following:
    • negative variation on the Milmort and Nivelles sites (end of the lease approaching) and on the Bornem site because of the current inoccupancy (6,692 m2);
    • improvement and renovation works on the sites in Erembodegem, Berchem and Mechelen, which contributes no value in the current state of the market.
  • a positive variation of the French property portfolio of EUR 2,755,622 (3.10% of the fair $\bullet$ value of the portfolio, including the Orleans investment), under the effect of a negative 'vield-shift' of 43 base points;
  • $\triangleright$ a positive result of EUR 548,360 following the sale of property investments. This gain was the fruit of the following sales:
  • sites in Schoten Jagersdreef and Schoten Brechtsebaan (surplus value of EUR 125,168);
  • Buggenhout site (surplus value of EUR 275,192);
  • Grobbendonk site (surplus value of EUR 148,000).

$22$ Result before property portfolio result

The financial result at 31/12/2010 (EUR -3,636,559) was again strongly influenced by the positive development of the fair value of the interest hedging contracts (IAS 39), at the closing date, to the extent of EUR 1,643,148. During the first three quarters, Montea was still recording a negative variation of the fair value of the hedging contracts, to the extent of EUR -2,436,823. In the last quarter, however, following the strong rise of long-term interest rates, Montea experienced a positive variation of the fair value in an amount of EUR 4,079,971.

Without taking into account the trend of the fair value of the interest hedging contracts (IAS 39), the net financial costs fell by EUR 0.69 million. The fall is mainly explained by the fact that the average net cash position for 2010 was higher than that of 2009 (especially because of the liquidities coming from the equity increase of July 2010 are not yet used), plus lower financial costs (no margin to be paid on the unused credit lines).

$\%$ At 31/12/2010, 91.4% of Montea's total financial debt consisted of bank debts. For these bank debts. Montea called on interest hedging contracts of the IRS variety. At 31/12/2010, the hedging contracts of the IRS (Interest Rate Swap) variety covered 99.7% of Montea's total bank debt. These financial instruments quarantee the coverage of the current debt at least until September 2011. The interest rate at the end of the period amounts to 4.59% (including bank margins and hedging instrument charges, in view of the EURIBOR at the end of the year).

The taxes consist of the fiscal charges on disallowed expenditure.

The net current result23 at 31/12/2010 amounted to EUR 7.938.401 (EUR 1.72 per share), that is to say 6.68% more than for the same period of the previous year (EUR 7,441,381)

$\&$ Based on this net operational result and the distributable profit that results there from (EUR 8.495.324, mainly due to the surplus value on the sold sites). Montea already confirms the announced dividend of EUR 0.97 gross per share for the first half of 2010 and EUR 0.87 per share for the second half of 2010.

The net result at 31/12/2010 amounted to EUR 8,223,544, versus EUR -10,681,556 in 2009. This considerable rise of EUR 18,905,100 is explained by:

  • increase of the net current result of EUR 497,020; $\bullet$
  • positive evolution of the variation of the fair value of the property investments (EUR 14,127,133). Last year, the fair value of the property investments had experienced a negative variation of EUR 16.03 million24;
  • the surplus value resulting from the disinvestment: EUR 548,360;
  • the positive evolution of the variation of the fair value of the interest hedging instruments (EUR 3,732,587).

For further details, please refer to the 2009 Annual Report.

23 Net operational result: net profit excluding result on the property portfollio (Codes XV, XVI and XVII of the profit-andloss account) and excluding IAS 39 (revaluation of the hedging instruments).

$3.4$ Comments related to the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2010

At 31 December 2010, the total assets (EUR 258,798,580) were composed mainly of property investments (EUR 233,452,374 or 90.21% of the total) and current assets (EUR 22,332,836). The increase of the fixed assets (EUR 29,101,755) resulted especially from the investment in the Orleans platform and from the investments operated in Belgium.

The increase of the current assets is mainly explained by the improvement of the cash position at the end of the year (approximately 30% of the net proceeds from the equity increase are not yet invested at this stage).

In the total liabilities, one finds the equities (EUR 124,106,556 million) and a total debt of EUR 134.692.024.

The increase of the equity capital (EUR 39.637.207) results from:

  • net rise of the capital following the equity increase of 02 July 2010 (EUR 39,907,052): $\bullet$
  • net profit of EUR 8,223,544; $\bullet$
  • distribution in 2010 of the financial year 2009 dividend (EUR 7,493,389).

The increase of the total debt (EUR 2,897,139) is to a large extent explained by the rise of the rents already invoiced for the first quarter of the financial year 2011.

The total debt position resulting from the credit lines and the leasing debts remains more or less constant, the take-over of the leasing debt of the Orleans site (EUR 5.86 million) compensating for the partial use of the credit lines.

The debt ratio25 amounts to 47.63% versus 56.4% at 31/12/2009. Montea thus preserves an investment capacity of approximately EUR 40 to 50 million versus a debt of about 55%.

25 The debt ratio is calculated in accordance with the RD of 21 June 2006.

The net assets per share (before destination of the result) based on the fair value of the property portfolio amounts to EUR 22.0 at 31/12/2010, versus EUR 23.5 at 31/12/2009. This decline of 6.48% is to a large extent explained by the dilution effect due to the equity increase, which created 2,048,772 additional shares at the issue price of EUR 19.50 per share.

If the evaluation account of the interest hedging instruments is not taken into account, the net assets per share increases to EUR 23.14.

For a stock exchange price of EUR 23.49 at the end of the financial year, Montea closed with a small premium of 6.7%. If the evaluation of the interest hedging instruments is not taken into account, the premium is situated at 1.5%.

IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE-SHEET DATE 5

21 January 2011 - Lease agreement for a fixed term of 15 year with Ondernemingen Jan $\blacktriangleright$ De Nul SA for 18,048 m2 on the site in Aalst

Montea and Ondernemingen Jan De Nul SA signed a lease agreement for a fixed period of 15 years. The agreement relates to 18,048 m2 of the Tragel site, in Aalst. On the one hand, Ondernemingen Jan De Nul has extended the agreement in progress for 13.642 m2 storage space; on the other hand, an additional agreement has been reached for 2,497 m2 storage space and 1,909 m2 office space. The prolongation and the extension were achieved in line with the lease in progress. They generate an initial gross return of 8.59%, on the basis of the fair value. Ondernemingen Jan De Nul SA will use the warehouses for keeping building materials and boat parts.

3 February 2011 - Montea launched a solar energy project for its sites in Grimbergen. Puurs, Bornem and Herentals

Montea launched a solar energy project for its sites in Grimbergen, Puurs, Bornem and Herentals. Accompanied by the Encon and Scheuten Solar companies, Montea will be placing solar panels in the following months for a total power estimated from 2.35 megawatts/peak, that is to say the average annual consumption of more than 650 families. This investment by Montea will also reduce the $CO2$ emissions of the buildings concerned by more than 600 tons per annum. The energy thus produced will as a priority be made available to the tenants, the remainder being re-injected into the grid.

CONCLUSION FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2010 6

At the financial level, Montea's financial year2010 was characterised by generally good operating results considering the still difficult economic context: the net current result increased by 6.68%.

The lease activity and the maintenance of the occupancy rate (which climbed to 95%) were "the" priority for 2010.

The pressure on the valuations, which started in the last quarter of 2008 to be maintained during the whole of 2009, is now stagnating. Even a positive trend of the values in the French portfolio can be observed

Montea has furthermore sold some non-strategic properties that no longer had their place in its investment policy. Henceforth, the emphasis will be placed on large logistic units.

The successful equity increase of 02 July 2010 provided the closed-end company with the necessary oxygen for embarking upon its second phase of growth. 70% of the operation's net yield was immediately invested in the purchase of a platform of 78,000 m2 in Orleans, for a yield of 8.5%.

At the organisational level, in 2010, Montea set up a competence centre in Paris and strengthened its management team with the appointment of a CEO, a CCO for Belgium and a Director France.

In view of the strong operational result and the surplus value achieved on the sites that were sold, Montea will propose to the General Assembly a dividend of EUR 0.97 per share for the first half of the year and of EUR 0.87 for the second half, as announced in the prospectus at the time of the equity increase.

OUTLOOK FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2011 $\overline{7}$

In 2011, Montea will concentrate on the growth of its portfolio (external growth), on an improvement of the quality of the buildings (internal growth), on the diversification of its income and on the disinvestment of some smaller, non-strategic property.

$\triangleright$ External growth

In its two markets, Belgium and France, Montea has assessed a growing interest on the part of the institutional investors for logistic real estate. For this reason, Montea will have to capitalise on its 'pure player' expertise and experience in order to achieve its external growth.

Priority will go to:

  • 'sale & rent back' files. Montea has had a first experience in this field with the take-over of Unilever's logistic site in Forest (2008);
  • 'built-to-suit' proiects: In an 'open book' system, Montea seeks, with the end customer, the best logistic solution; for example, for the construction of a new Coca-Cola distribution centre $(2010-2011);$
  • collaboration with other real estate players, at an early stage of the development process.

$\triangleright$ Internal growth or quality improvement

In parallel with the external growth, Montea will be endeavouring to optimise the existing portfolio. Two major possibilities are foreseen:

  • development and marketing of the remaining land of the portfolio;
  • improvement of the quality of the portfolio.

Income diversification $\triangleright$

With the solar energy project on the sites of Grimbergen, Puurs, Bornem and Herentals, Montea will be diversifying its incomes in 2011. Montea thereby confirms its will to optimise sustainability and quality on the one hand, and on the other to lengthen the average period of the property portfolio and to improve its profitability. In 2011, Montea will also study the feasibility of a similar project for its sites of Brussels, Wallonia and France.

$\triangleright$ Disinvestments

Finally, Montea will sell a series of small properties that no longer fit its strategy, for an estimated total value of EUR 10 million.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT PROPERTY EXPERT

  • Valuation The valuation of the portfolio's various investment elements is based on the following method: capitalization of the rental value and approximation of the income following a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model, with audit of the unit prices obtained.
  • Value Trend The Fair Value according to IAS40 at the end of first half of the year (30/06/2010) rose from EUR 201,382,000 to EUR 232,250,000 at 31/12/2010. This fair value of EUR 232,250,000 corresponds to an investment value of EUR 240,787,000 in own name.

The initial return (rental income considered in relation to the investment value) of the entire portfolio amounts to 7.60%.

Patrimony The patrimony today consists of $\pm$ 392,338m2 storage space and 45,263m2 offices, that is to say a total surface area of 437,601m2. It is distributed over 30 sites, including 12 in France. One counts three sites less than at the end of 2009 following the sale of four Belgian properties (Buggenhout, Schoten Brechtsebaan, Schoten Jagersdreef and Grobbendonk) and the purchase of a French site (Saint-Cyr-en-Val). One property (Grimbergen) is under concession. The increase in the commercial value of the portfolio results especially from the acquisition of the Saint-Cyr-en-Val site.

If the 12 French sites are excluded, the current properties are mainly in Flanders. Two buildings (Laeken and Forest) are in the Brussels-Capital Region, and two others (Milmort and Nivelles) in Wallonia. Out of the 12 French properties, seven are in the Paris Region (Savigny-le-Temple and Roissy, Bondoufle, Mesnil Amelot, Alfortville) and five others in the provinces (Lyon/Decines-Charpieu and Saint-Priest, Cambrai, Feuquières and Orléans/Saint-Cvr-en-Val).

Rental Income The actual rental income is calculated after deduction of the advance payment of property tax when it is charged to the owner. In some rare cases, in the presence of rental rebates or of a rent that is not contractually constant, the average rental income until the following expiry has been retained.

The rental income at 31/12/2010 amounted to EUR 18.275.198 per annum. The lease agreements in progress are 4.45% below the estimated market value, namely EUR 17,495,975 per year.

The above mentioned rents are net rents, excluding other payments (common charges, and possible insurance premiums).

The occupancy rate of the portfolio as a whole, calculated on the basis of the surface areas, is +/-95.0%.

APPENDIX VIII - AUDITOR'S REPORT AT 31/12/2010

The Auditor, Ernst & Young Company Auditors, represented by Mrs Christel Weymeersch, has confirmed that the audit operations, that have been fundamentally conducted, did not reveal any significant corrections to be made to the accounting information quoted by the press release.
