Letter to the Shareholders

Dear Shareholders, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our ongoing eff ort to expand in the fi eld of housing privatisation continues:

During the ongoing year as of 1 May 2017, we already secured 882 units through sale and purchase agreements that had not yet been posted to accounts by year-end 2016. The single largest acquisition – by the number of residential units – was transacted in the greater Leipzig area (333 units). Leipzig is one of the most interesting swarm cities in Germany, and has for years ranked among the top ten of our Condominium Report by number of traded fl ats (placing 5th in the 2016 report, its latest edition). Both the square-metre price and the initial yield in the city remain well below the level of our core market in Berlin.

That being said, Berlin remains our most important market despite increased cost prices and hardening initial yields. As far as market size, market liquidity and number of potential buyers are concerned, no other market in Germany comes even close to our home market. Berlin totals as many condominium sales per year as Munich, Hamburg and Cologne combined. We do not share the opinion of the few market sceptics who foresee an end to the boom cycle in the German capital. All of the key fundamentals, especially the city's demographic trend and economic development (GDP, unemployment rate) keep following an upward trajectory at growth rates that clearly outperform the national average.

Accordingly, we have left our strategy in place for the time being: Berlin is our core market, and we will continue to expand our robust market position step by step. Wherever opportunities present themselves, we will moreover expand into other metro regions as announced, and will steadily enlarge our portfolio holdings in these new locations.

Q1 2017 proved to be yet another quarter with rather tidy fi gures, and it has strengthened our resolve to keep pursuing the chosen course.

Kind regards,

Jacopo Mingazzini Management Board

Preliminary Remarks

The regulatory requirements for quarterly reporting have changed across Europe. Going forward, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG will publish so-called quarterly statements for the fi rst three and for the fi rst nine months of a given fi nancial year. The half-year report will remain as is. The new format of quarterly statements will present the consolidated income in slightly abbreviated form. ACCENTRO Real Estate AG is convinced that the new format is perfectly capable of delivering all relevant information to its shareholders.

ACCENTRO Real Estate AG had divested itself almost entirely of its portfolio properties by December 2016, and thereby transformed into a pure trading entity. The remaining portfolio properties are to be sold off in the course of the 2017 fi nancial year. These properties are recognised in the balance sheet as non-current assets held for sale. Earnings and expenses associated with the properties are recognised in the income statement under "discontinued operation." The elimination of the "Portfolio" segment obviates the need for segment reporting, and the practice will be discontinued accordingly as of the 2017 fi nancial year. The fi gures for the reference period January through March 2016 were adjusted.

All monetary fi gures in this report are stated in euro (EUR). Both individual and total fi gures represent the value with the smallest rounding diff erence. Accordingly, adding the values of the individual line items may result in minor diff erences compared to the sum totals posted.

Earnings, Financial and Asset Position

Earnings Position

The ACCENTRO Group's key revenue and earnings fi gures for the continuing operation developed as follows during the fi rst three months of the 2017 fi nancial year:

3 months 2017 3 months 2016
EUR million EUR million
Revenues 20.8 20.5
EBIT 4.9 6.0
Consolidated income from continuing operations 3.0 2.6

The consolidated revenues came to EUR 20.8 million by the end of the fi rst three months of the 2017 fi nancial year, and thereby remained on a level with the prior-year quarter.

The consolidated income by the end of the reporting period equalled EUR 3.0 million (reference period: EUR 2.6 million) and thus matched the bracket we predicted when revising our forecast at mid-year 2016.

At EUR 0.7 million, total payroll and benefi t costs slightly exceeded the prior-year level of EUR 0.6 million, an increase attributable to the expansion of our workforce during the 2016 fi nancial year.

The net interest result for the fi rst quarter of 2017 equalled EUR –1.9 million and therefore below the fi gure for the reference period (EUR –1.7 million). The rise in interest expenses refl ects the buy-back of the bond that had been issued in November 2013 over an amount of EUR 10 million, as announced on 31 March 2017. As a result, the eff ective interest expense, which would have spread over the remaining lifetime of 17 months if it had not been terminated, is spread over a period of just 4 months ending in June 2017.

The earnings before taxes equalled EUR 3.0 million, down from EUR 4.3 million by the end of the prior-year quarter. Taking into account income taxes of EUR –0.4 million (reference period: EUR –1.7 million), this results in a consolidated income of EUR 3.0 million (reference period: EUR 2.6 million) for the continuing operation. The low income tax expense during the reporting period is attributable to the initial recognition of deferred tax assets on losses carried forward for the Gehrensee portfolio, which was acquired in December 2016.

Financial Position

Key Figures from the Cash Flow Statement (Continuing and Discontinued Operations Combined)
3 months 2017
3 months 2016
EUR million EUR million
Cash fl ow from operating activities –8.3 7.8
Cash fl ow from investment activities 3.3 17.6
Cash fl ow from fi nancing activities 3.3 –11.3
Net change in cash and cash equivalents 32.0 14.1
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period 15.1 7.0
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period 13.5 21.1

During the fi rst three months of 2017, the cash fl ow from operating activities amounted to EUR –8.3 million (reference period: EUR 7.8 million). The cash fl ow from operating activities breaks down into the cash profi t for the period and cash-eff ective changes in current working capital. A positive impact on the cash fl ow from operations was generated by rent payments and the amounts deposited in return for inventory properties sold. The operating cash fl ow is burdened by the sum total of operating expenditures, including the income tax payments and payments toward the acquisition of inventory properties. The expansion of the inventory assets, which continued according to plan during the fi rst quarter of 2017, precipitated a negative cash fl ow from current operations as predicted.

The cash fl ow from investment activities amounted to EUR 3.3 million during the reporting period (reference period: EUR 17.6 million). In analogy to the reference period, this refl ects essentially the payments made by buyers toward the investment properties sold to them, which are associated with the discontinued operation.

The cash fl ow from fi nancing activities amounted to EUR 3.3 million during the reporting period (reference period: EUR –11.3 million), and breaks down into new loans taken out toward the expansion of the property stock held as inventory assets, payment outfl ows for the principal repayment of loans associable with properties sold from the inventory assets, and the principal repayment of bonds and fi nancial liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 13.5 million as of 31 March 2017, compared to EUR 15.1 million by 31 December 2016.

Quarterly Statement for the Period 1 January Through 31 March 2017

During the reporting period, the shareholders' equity of the ACCENTRO Group rose from EUR 136.8 million as of 31 December 2016 to EUR 140.3 million by 31 March 2017. The increase is almost entirely due to the consolidated income from continuing and discontinued operations of EUR 3.1 million. It implies an equity ratio of 45.6%, which means that the equity ratio is essentially the same as the one reported by the balance sheet date of the previous fi nancial year (45.5%).

Asset Position

The total assets increased by EUR 7.0 million since the balance sheet date of 31 December 2016 as they climbed to a total of EUR 307.6 million. The main reason for the growth is the expansion of the inventory assets by EUR 11.0 million.

At EUR 65.4 million, non-current liabilities have remained largely the same since the balance sheet date of the previous fi nancial year (EUR 65.2 million).

Current liabilities rose by EUR 3.4 million to EUR 101.9 million since the end of last year (EUR 98.5 million). The key factor behind the increase is the reclassifi cation of the 2013/2018 bond terminated on 31 March 2017 from non-current to current liabilities, because it will be paid back on 26 June 2017. The decline in current fi nancial liabilities by EUR 6.0 million had a converse eff ect.

General Statement on the Group's Business Situation

The economic situation of the ACCENTRO Group remained unchanged during the fi rst three months of the 2017 fi nancial year. The Management Board of ACCENTRO AG therefore reaffi rms its account of the economic situation previously made in the 2016 annual report, which was published on 10 March 2017.

Supplementary Report

No events of material signifi cance for ACCENTRO Real Estate AG transpired between the balance sheet date of 31 March 2017 and the day on which the fi nancial statements were compiled.

Forecast Report

In its statement of account for the 2016 fi nancial year, the Management Board of ACCENTRO AG predicted a top line sales growth in the double-digit range for the 2017 fi nancial year, and moreover predicted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) in a range between EUR 34 million and EUR 36 million. Given the present market situation on the key markets of ACCENTRO AG in combination with the persistently positive macroeconomic signals for 2017, the Management Board of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG reaffi rms its forecast at this time.

The ACCENTRO Real Estate AG Share

The 2014/2019 convertible bond issued during the 2013/14 fi nancial year implied a residual 5,339,675 conversion rights as of 31 December 2016, entitling the bearer to one ACCENTRO Real Estate AG share each, which could dilute the earnings per share. The maturity of less than one year has created a dilution eff ect.

During the fi rst three months of the 2017 fi nancial year, a total of 137,264 convertible bonds from the 2014/2019 convertible bond were converted into one share in ACCENTRO Real Estate AG each. The convertible bond accounts for TEUR 11,753 out of the book value of the bond liabilities.

Compared to the prior-year period, the earnings per share for the fi rst three months of the 2017 fi nancial year present themselves as follows:
