LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

ESTAVIS AG significantly improved its results in the first quarter of the current 2009/10 financial year.

Revenue increased to EUR 22.1 million (previous year: EUR 20.0 million), while earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 2.1 million (previous year: EUR –2.4 million). Due to net interest expense of EUR 0.9 million, this resulted in earnings before taxes of EUR 1.2 million (previous year: EUR –3.2 million). Consolidated earnings also returned to clearly positive territory, totalling EUR 0.5 million compared with a consolidated net loss of EUR 3.0 million in the same period of the previous year. Accordingly, earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.06 (previous year: EUR 0.35). Revenues generated in the first quarter 2009/10 are based on a business volume of 229 sold units (previous year: 168)

The positive figures for the first three months reflect the initial success of the restructuring and strategic reorientation of ESTAVIS AG, as well as demonstrating our strength and expertise in the individual sale of residential property.

We offer institutional and private investors tailored solution for residential property in Germany, from the execution of existing individual and portfolio investments, whether direct or indirect, to the structuring of new investments. The entire value chain – from acquisition and optimisation through to disposal – is focused on achieving a successful exit. This requires precisely the kind of sales strength that we have repeatedly demonstrated in the individual sale of residential property.

At present, we generate the majority of our revenue from sales of residential property to private investors. As a crisis-resistant investment, residential property continues to enjoy strong popularity among private investors. The notarisation volume in the first quarter was 168 units.

ESTAVIS is one of the largest providers of listed residential property for investors. The new government's commitment to tax allowances for listed buildings will help to ensure that demand for our residential property continues to increase.

In accordance with section 7i of the German Income Tax Act, buyers of listed buildings can depreciate 9 % of the cost of the property covered by the tax allowance in the year of acquisition and each of the following seven years and a further 7 % in each of the following four years. The tax allowance covers construction costs that are necessary to maintain the physical structure of the listed building or for its reasonable use. The establishment of these tax benefits at a political level means that investors now have greater planning certainty.

Positive outlook for the current financial year

The Management Board of ESTAVIS AG is forecasting consolidated revenue of between EUR 75.0–85.0 million in the 2009/10 fi nancial year, representing a moderate increase on the same period of the previous year (EUR 70.7 million).

We expect to return to profi tability in terms of consolidated earnings for the 2009/10 fi nancial year. Our forecast revenue and earnings development for the current fi nancial year is largely based on the volume of notarised property sales generated as of the end of the fi rst quarter of 2009/10, as these sales are extremely likely to result in revenue and earnings in the 2009/10 fi nancial year.

The fi nancial turnaround on the earnings side shows that we are on the right path. In the forthcoming months, we will build on this success and will consequently drive the implementation of our new strategy.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

1 BUSINESS AND CONDITIONS

1.1 Economic environment and business performance

Economic development in Germany in the past quarter was characterised by a trend towards stabilisation. Sentiment among companies and consumers improved substantially compared with the start of 2009, and leading economic experts expect gross domestic product to enjoy moderate growth in 2010.

However, economic output in Germany and other Western industrialised countries remains consistently lower than in the previous year, and the prospects of an upturn remain subject to material risks. In particular, restrictive lending to companies represents a growing risk for the recovery of the real economy. Restrictive corporate finance is also having a tangible impact on the German real estate sector.

Despite the adverse macroeconomic conditions, ESTAVIS AG's business development in the first quarter of 2009/10 saw positive revenue development and a return to profitability. In particular, the course of business was characterised by the sale of owner-occupied properties – especially listed properties offering attractive tax depreciation allowances. The restructuring measures implemented in the previous financial year also had a positive impact on earnings development. The revenue and earnings figures for the first quarter of 2009/10 represent a strong basis for the achievement of ESTAVIS AG's targets for the year as a whole.

1.2 Earnings situation

Key figures of the comparison period of the first quarter 2008/09 financial only relate to continued business activities.

In the first quarter of the 2009/10 financial year ESTAVIS Group revenues increased 11 % to EUR 22.1 million from EUR 20.0 million in the comparison period. The notarisation volume in the first quarter 2009/10 was 168 units.

Broken down for financial reporting purposes, revenues for continued operations were attributable to the following company business segments:

Portfolio trading EUR 2.5m (previous year: EUR 4.3m)
Retail trading EUR 19.5m (previous year: EUR 15.7m)
Other business areas EUR 0.0m (previous year: EUR 0.0m)

Revenues generated in the first quarter 2009/10 are based on a business volume of 229 sold units (previous year: 168) with a total residential and useful area of 12,392 m² (previous year: 8,705 m²).

The gross margin for continued operations (gross profit/revenues) rose from 13.0 % to 46.1 % 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 increased by EUR 1.0 million, from EUR 18.2 million to EUR 19.2 million.

In the period under review, staff costs declined to EUR 0.7 million (previous year: EUR 0.8 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 5.5 million to EUR 8.8 million in the period under review. This was attributable to the higher level of selling costs on the back of greater sales volumes for individual apartments.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose sharply by EUR 4.5 million to EUR 2.1 million. The EBIT margin (EBIT/revenue) amounted to 9.5 %.

As a result of its positive revenue development and improved cost structures, the company reported a consolidated net profit of EUR 0.5 million in the period under review after a consolidated net loss of EUR 2.3 million in the same period of the previous year. This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR 0.06 (previous year: EUR 0.28).

1.3 Financial and assets position

The total assets of the ESTAVIS Group as of 30 September 2009 declined significantly by EUR 47.4 million to EUR 159.9 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 increase in trade receivables of EUR 7.6 million served to offset the disposal of assets held for sale (EUR 45.9 million).

Cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 3.9 million in the previous year to EUR 4.3 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 2.3 million to EUR 66.2 million.

Shareholders' equity increased slightly to EUR 49.3 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 30.8 % at the end of the period under review.

Accordingly, the debt-to-equity ratio fell from 76.3 % to 69.2 %. The ratio of cash and cash equivalents to total assets improved slightly during the period under review, from 1.9 % to 2.7 %, while the Group's cash ratio (cash and cash equivalents/current liabilities) also increased slightly from 2.5 % to 4.1 %.

In the first quarter of 2009/10, net cash from operating activities improved significantly year-on-year to EUR 0.4 million (previous year: net cash used in operating activities of EUR 6.8 million). This was mainly due to the Group's positive operating earnings performance in the period under review.

Net cash used in investing activities totalled EUR 6.5 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR 0.3 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 2.3 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR 0.3 million).

2 RISK REPORT

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.

3 FORECAST REPORT

For the 2009/10 financial year, the ESTAVIS AG Management Board is expecting Group revenue with the range of EUR 75.0 million and EUR 85.0 million, corresponding to a moderate upturn against the comparative figures of the 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.

4 SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

Rainer Schorr Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, Berlin and the Chief Executive Officer of ESTAVIS AG, Mr. Florian Lanz, made binding commitments in the total amount of EUR 2.5 million in October 2009 regarding bridging of potential liquidity bottlenecks at the company.

In addition, the company and a creditor agreed on the prolongation of a short-term loan liability of approximately EUR 12 million until the end of June 2010. The company is also in advanced negotiations regarding the refinancing of current liabilities amounting to approximately EUR 11 million.

No other events of particular significance to the business development of the ESTAVIS Group have occurred since the end of the first quarter of the 2009/10 financial year.

SELECTED DISCLOSURES ON CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 BASIC INFORMATION

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 30 September 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 November 2009. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were not checked by an auditor or subjected to review.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of the 2009/10 financial year, which ended on 30 September 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. Above and beyond this, the following standards are required to be applied for the first time in the current financial year:

Amendments:
Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation
IAS 39 Amendments: Eligible Hedged Items

IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers

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.

3 CONSOLIDATED GROUP

As of 30 September 2009, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of ESTAVIS AG included 59 subsidiaries, one joint venture and one associate. The sale of the shares in the HAG Group was largely completed in the first quarter 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.

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 partially completed by the start of the first quarter. The remaining shareholding was reported as assets held for sale in the amount of the agreed residual purchase price of TEUR 1,100. 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 6,510 in the period under review (taking into account the cash and cash equivalents derecognised as a result of the sale).
