Dear Shareholders, dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
The figures for the first half of the 2009/10 financial year show that the realignment of ESTAVIS AG is paying off. We have considerably simplified our corporate structures, discontinued loss-making activities and geared our resources towards profitable business opportunities.
In the first six months we thus generated revenues of EUR 40.3 million (previous year: EUR 45.6 million) and net profit of EUR 1.4 million (previous year: EUR –6.2 million) on the basis of a stable business development.
We are therefore well on the way towards achieving our annual targets.
Our business is continuing to benefit from the strong demand for real estate on the part of private purchasers – as a form of pension provision or simply as a stable investment.
Above all listed properties entailing special tax benefits for private purchasers in accordance with Section 7 of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommenssteuergesetz) are very popular.
Listed properties offer the only remaining legally secured opportunity for converting taxes into assets. The new German Federal Government committed itself to the provision of tax relief for listed properties in its coalition agreement in October 2009 so that planning security will continue to exist here in the future.
With effect from 1 January 2010, the Management Board of ESTAVIS AG was reduced from four to two members. This is to take account of the changed economic and organisational situation of the company.
However, the previous Management Board members Corina Büchold and Hans Wittmann will remain closely connected with ESTAVIS. Following her retirement from the Management Board, Ms Büchold will continue to hold a management position within the company. Mr Wittmann will support ESTAVIS AG in an advisory capacity.
Based on the pleasing business development in the first six months, the Management Board confirms the outlook for the 2009/10 financial year.
We expect consolidated sales in the order of EUR 75 to 85 million. This represents a significant increase compared with the previous year's figure (EUR 70.7 million). In terms of the result for the 2009/10 financial year, we anticipate a return to profitability.
Dear shareholders,
The pleasing business performance in the first half of the 2009/10 financial year confirms our course towards a consistent realignment of ESTAVIS AG. We have already mastered important stages on our chosen route and view the coming challenges with confidence. In future, we will pay increased attention to the gradual expansion of our business model in order to tap additional earnings potential for ESTAVIS on a healthy economic basis.
Chief Executive Member of the
Florian Lanz Eric Mozanowski Officer (CEO) Management Board

In light of rising confi dence in terms of future economic development, the recovery on the global stock markets continued in the period under review. ESTAVIS' share price also benefi ted from this development, increasing by 20 % during this period.
The company's shares closed at EUR 1.77 on 30 December 2009 compared with EUR 1.48 on 1 July 2009. ESTAVIS' market capitalisation totalled around EUR 14 million at the end of fi rst half year.
ESTAVIS' shares reached a high of EUR 2.55 on 13 August 2009 compared with a low of EUR 1.25 on 6 July 2009 (Xetra closing prices).
ESTAVIS share price development from July 1 to December 30, 2009
The overall economic conditions in Germany and key Western developed nations stabilised in the second half of 2009. Compared with the start of 2009, there was a significant improvement in sentiment among companies and consumers.
However, in the view of leading economic experts, ongoing risks such as the weak development on the employment market, sluggish lending and concerns about the financial stability of individual countries are endangering the economic recovery that is getting under way.
The limited lending for companies particularly poses a growing risk to the recovery of the real economy. The restrictions in corporate financing are also clearly perceptible in the German real estate sector.
In view of the adverse overall economic conditions, ESTAVIS AG recorded positive business performance in the first half of the 2009/10 financial year. Despite a downturn compared with the previous period, a net profit of EUR 1.4 million was generated.
The sale of apartments – especially listed property with attractive tax relief – made a significant contribution to the positive business performance.
Furthermore, the restructuring measures implemented as part of the company's realignment had a positive impact on the financial performance. The revenues and earnings attained in the first half of the 2009/10 financial year provide a good basis for ESTAVIS AG to achieve its annual targets.
The new German Federal Government committed itself to the provision of tax relief for listed properties in its coalition agreement in October 2009 so that planning security will continue to exist here in the future.
Key figures for the first half 2009/10 and of the comparison period (first half of 2008/09 financial year) only relate to continued business operations.
In the first half of the 2009/10 financial year ESTAVIS Group revenues decreased 12% to EUR 40.3 million from EUR 45.6 million in the comparison period.
Broken down for financial reporting purposes, revenues for continued operations were attributable to the following company business segments:
| • | Retail trading | EUR 36.9m | (previous year: EUR 38.6m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| • | Portfolio trading | EUR 3.4m | (previous year: EUR 7.1m) |
Revenues generated in the first half 2009/10 are based on a business volume of 400 sold units (comparison period: 411) with a total residential and useful area of 21,995 m² (comparison period: 21,113 m²).
Other operating income increased to EUR 4.2 million (previous year: EUR 3.0 million). The increase is mainly attributable to write-ups on impaired receivables.
The gross margin for continued operations (gross profit/revenues) rose from 24.0% to 41.4 % year-on-year. However, these values cannot be compared as the cost of materials in the previous year suffered much more from the settlement of the effects of purchase price allocation (particularly from the acquisition of B&V) than the cost of materials in the reporting period.
Total operating performance decreased by EUR 7.6 million, from EUR 44.3 million to EUR 36.7 million.
In the period under review, staff costs declined to EUR 1.4 million (previous year: EUR 1.7 million). This development is primarily due to the reduction in the number of employees as a result of the restructuring measures.
Other operating expenses increased from EUR 15.2 million to EUR 16.0 million in the period under review.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose sharply to EUR 3.4 million (previous year: EUR –3.0 million). The EBIT margin (EBIT/revenue) amounted to 8.4 % in the first half of 2009/10.
Financial result improved by EUR 0.6 million from EUR –2.3 million to EUR –1.8 million.
After income taxes (EUR 0.1 million) the consolidated net profit from continued operations rose to EUR 1.4 million in the period under review after a consolidated net loss of EUR 3.9 million in the same period of the previous year. This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.18 (previous year: EUR –0.49).
The total assets of the ESTAVIS Group as of 31 December 2009 declined significantly by EUR 68.5 million to EUR 138.8 million (30 June 2009: EUR 207.3 million); this was primarily due to the completion of the sale of the shares in Hamburgische Immobilien SUCV AG (HAG Group).
The asset derecognised as a result of the sale of the shares in HAG amounted to EUR 47.0 million.
Furthermore, items within other receivables were offset by corresponding offsetting items under other liabilities with an overall effect of EUR 12.0 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 3.9 million in the previous year to EUR 5.4 million.
The liabilities derecognised as a result of the sale of the shares in HAG amounted to EUR 43.4 million.
Financial liabilities, which mainly relate to liabilities to banks, decreased by EUR 4.2 million to EUR 64.3 million.
Shareholders' equity increased slightly to EUR 50.2 million as a result of the consolidated net profit for the quarter.
The substantial reduction in total assets meant that the ESTAVIS Group's equity ratio increased from 23.7 % as of 30 June 2009 to 36.1 % at the end of the period under review.
Accordingly, the debt-to-equity ratio fell from 76.3 % to 63.9 %. The ratio of cash and cash equivalents to total assets improved slightly during the period under review, from 1.9 % to 3.9 %, while the Group's cash ratio (cash and cash equivalents/current liabilities) also increased slightly from 2.5 % to 6.4 %.
In the first half of 2009/10, net cash from operating activities amounted to EUR –1.2 million (previous year: EUR -9.0 million).
Net cash used in investing activities totalled EUR –5.5 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR –0.6 million). This was attributable in particular to the sale of the HAG shares and the resulting derecognition of the cash and cash equivalents of the HAG Group.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to EUR –0.5 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR –0.2 million).
The ESTAVIS Group has implemented a risk management system that is designed for several purposes, including allowing the early recognition and appropriate communication of significant risk factors arising from its business activities that could be of relevance to its earnings situation or its continued existence. The risk management system allows action to be taken against potentially unfavourable developments and events in a timely manner and, where required, facilitates the implementation of countermeasures before any significant damages are incurred.
There have been no significant revisions to the risks for the ESTAVIS Group in the period under review compared with the Risk Report in the Group Management Report for the previous financial year. Accordingly, reference should be made to the information contained therein.
Based on the business performance in the first six months, the ESTAVIS AG Management Board reiterates the forecast for the 2009/10 financial year. The Management Board expects revenues to be in the range of EUR 75.0 million and EUR 85.0 million (previous year EUR 70.7 million). A return to profitability at net consolidated result level is expected for the 2009/10 financial year.
The assessment of the expected revenue and profit trend for the 2009/10 financial year is based largely on the volume of apartment sales notarised as of the reporting date and to the end of the first quarter of 2009/10. Notarised apartment sales have a high probability of generating revenue and earnings in the 2009/10 financial year.
Furthermore, on the basis of the forecast revenue and earnings trend, the Management Board expects cash inflows. According to the Management Board, this will result in the financial and liquidity situation stabilising – in connection with measures to improve the financing structure of the ESTAVIS Group which have already been implemented or are planned.
In addition, the information contained in the Forecast Report given in the Group Management Report for the 2008/09 financial year also continues to apply.
On the basis of the available information, we currently regard as realistic the forecast statements for the future course of business and the influencing factors judged decisive. However, they naturally involve the risk that the expected developments will not actually occur either in terms of their trend or their extent.
No other events of particular significance to the business development of the ESTAVIS Group have occurred since the end of the first half of the 2009/10 financial year.

ESTAVIS AG and its subsidiaries trade in property upon which they undertake maintenance work partly for the purpose of resale. Furthermore, property is held as financial investments. The company is domiciled in Berlin, Germany. The company's shares are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange for trading on the Regulated Market (Prime Standard).
On 31 December 2009, ESTAVIS AG acted as the operating holding company for numerous special purpose entities. Its major operating investment is B&V Bauträger- und Vertriebsgesellschaft für Immobilien mbH, Berlin (B&V Group).
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the company's Management Board in February 2010. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were not checked by an auditor or subjected to review.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of the 2009/10 financial year, which ended on 31 December 2009, were prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU by way of a regulation. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent consolidated financial statements of ESTAVIS AG for the year ended 30 June 2009.
With the following exceptions, the accounting policies applied in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the most recent consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009.
The amended IAS 1 and IAS 23 are required to be applied for the first time in preparing the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the 2009/10 financial year. The amendment to IAS 1 requires the additional presentation of other comprehensive income as part of the income statement. The amendment to IAS 23 requires the capitalisation of the financing costs of properties for renovation and development projects resulting from cumulative production costs for projects starting in the 2009/10 financial year. For all projects starting prior to 1 July 2009, the previous accounting treatment, under which interest is not recognised in cost, remains in force. The provisions of IFRS 8 "Segment Reporting", the amended IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements in Accordance with IFRS" and the amended IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", which are required to be applied for the first time in the current financial year, were already applied by the company in the previous year.

This did not result in any changes to the financial reporting for the ESTAVIS AG Consolidated Financial Statements. No regulations were applied early.
All amounts in the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement, as well as in the notes and tabular overviews, are given in thousands of euros (TEUR), unless otherwise noted. Both individual and total figures represent the value with the smallest rounding difference. Small differences can therefore occur between the sum of the individual values represented and the reported totals.
As of 31 December 2009, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of ESTAVIS AG included 58 subsidiaries and one associate. The sale of the shares in the HAG Group was completed in the first half of the current financial year. Accordingly, the 23 companies in this subgroup were deconsolidated with effect from 1 July 2009. One company was newly formed in the first quarter. In the second quarter two companies that are now largely wound up and no longer active were sold. All remaining shares in the joint venture to date (a property company) were acquired. The company will be fully consolidated as of 1 October 2010.

In the second quarter, write-ups on impaired receivables for TEUR 1,000 were carried out. The income is contained in other operating income and is allotted to the portfolio trading segment.
At the end of the 2008/09 financial year, the ESTAVIS Group sold its shares in the HAG subgroup with effect from the start of the 2009/10 financial year. The selling price for the shares in the HAG Group was TEUR 3,400. The sale was completed during the first half of financial year 2009/10. The disposal related to the assets and liabilities reported as available for sale as of 30 June 2009, which included cash and cash equivalents in the amount of TEUR 8,810.
Discontinued operations accounted for a cash outflow from the sale of shareholdings in the amount of TEUR –5,478 in the period under review (taking into account the cash and cash equivalents derecognised as a result of the sale and transaction costs). In the same period of the previous year, discontinued operations accounted for net cash from operating activities of TEUR 787, net cash used in investing activities of TEUR –563 and net cash used in financing activities of TEUR –222.
In the cash flow statement for the first quarter of the 2009/10 financial year, cash flow relating to the refinancing of inventories was mistakenly allocated to financing activities. However, according to the disclosure regulations applicable within the Group, this relates to the Group's current operating activities. The adjusted increase/decrease in trade payables and other liabilities not attributed to investing and financing activities amounts to TEUR –3,742 (instead of TEUR –1,992). Adjusted cash flow from current operating activities is therefore TEUR –1,333 (not TEUR 417). The adjusted payments for issuing bonds and raising (financial) loans amount to TEUR 0 (not TEUR 7,492) and the adjusted repayment of bonds and financial loans comes to TEUR –512 (instead of TEUR –9,753). Adjusted cash flow from financing activities therefore comes to TEUR –512 (not TEUR –2,261). The total cash flow (net change in cash and cash equivalents) remained unchanged TEUR –8,383.
Furthermore, the payment from the disposal of fully consolidated companies in the amount of TEUR 6,510 was mistakenly described as the payment for investments in non-current financial assets.
In the period under review, a company falling within the sphere of interest of Mr Rainer Schorr acquired a property from a Group company for a purchase price of TEUR 1,050. The proceeds of this sale were used to repay a loan liability to the same company. A loan in the amount of TEUR 979 due for repayment to a company belonging to the sphere of interest of Mr Rainer Schorr was extended until the end of February 2010.
In the first quarter, Mr Eric Mozanowski, a member of the Management Board of ESTAVIS AG, acquired a property from a Group company for a purchase price of TEUR 350. The short-term loan liability to Mr Eric Mozanowski as of 30 June 2009 in the amount of TEUR 300 was repaid. In the second quarter, Mr Eric Mozanowski granted a group company a short-term loan of TEUR 150 at an interest rate of 10% that was settled in the same quarter. Mr Rainer Schorr and Mr Florian Lanz have promised the Group cash of up to TEUR 2,000 and TEUR 500 respectively in the second quarter in the event of a liquidity bottleneck.
Above and beyond this, there were no significant new related party transactions, nor were any of the related party transactions reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the 2008/09 financial year changed or derecognised.
The ESTAVIS Group employed 39 staff at the end of the second quarter. In the second quarter of the previous year, the figure was 63 (thereof 17 in disposed group companies). On average, 69 were employed in the Group during the last financial year.
We state to the best of our knowledge that in accordance with the applicable auditing principles for interim reporting the interim consolidated financial statements convey an accurate picture of the Group assets, financial situation and earnings, and that the course of business including net operating profit and the condition of the Group are portrayed in the Group Interim Management Report in such a way as to convey a true and fair view, and the key opportunities and risks concerning the anticipated development of the Group in the remainder of the financial year are set out.
