Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Seizing the opportunity of this interim report of ESTAVIS AG on the first nine months of the 2011/12 financial year, we will give you a first account of the new Management Board appointments. Changes on the senior executive level of a company will often raise legitimate questions regarding the company's future strategy, and its relation of continuity to change. We should like to seize the occasion to say quite frankly that ESTAVIS will see both. Under the leadership of Florian Lanz, who will remain closely affiliated with ESTAVIS, our company reoriented itself in a difficult situation, and developed economically attractive business areas. This has included, most prominently, the acquisition of Accentro GmbH roughly a year ago, and the associated fast-paced expansion of our housing privatisation business. It is a business that benefits more than others from today's brisk demand for tangible fixed assets, and specifically for real estate, among institutional and private investors.
With a view to the increasing significance of housing privatisation for the business of ESTAVIS, making corresponding and lasting adjustments on the Board level was a perfectly sensible thing to do. We did so by appointing Jacopo Mingazzini to the Management Board in March 2012. The appointment of Andreas Lewandowski to the Board in May helped to set another strategic accent: ESTAVIS AG will give greater weight to the build-up and management of proprietary real estate holdings than it used to. Andreas Lewandowski will commit his comprehensive experiences in this field to the compilation of a large high-yield portfolio of residential real estate.
The decision to build up a proprietary portfolio as an essential part of our core business in addition to housing privatisation is explained by several reasons. On the corporate level, it makes sense to supplement the ESTAVIS business model with a component that will generate steady earnings, and will do so long-term, above all. Experience shows that the ownership and professional management of a large real estate portfolio is an excellent way of doing just that. The approach will focus on portfolios that ensure a positive cash-flow from the start.
Moreover, there are sound arguments on the market level, too, for intensifying the build-up of proprietary property holdings at this of all times. While the demand trend on the investment market makes it reasonable to expect that the price level will keep rising in the future, it is still possible at this time to invest at attractive cost prices. Also, we are still looking at a very favourable interest environment. In short, the combination of affordable cost prices and historically low interest rates should by all means be exploited.
Overall, we realised a slightly lower consolidated net profit of EUR 0.5 million during the first nine months of our ongoing financial year than we did in the prior-year period (EUR 0.7 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 4.0 million (prior-year period: EUR 4.3 million). Revenues totalled EUR 40.5 million, down from EUR 43.9 million after the first nine month of the previous year. At 9.8%, our EBIT margin has more or less remained unchanged year on year. The net assets and financial position of the ESTAVIS Group has remained stable, and the slight softening of the equity ratio to 37.8% is explained by the fact that the total assets grew faster in connection with real estate acquisitions during the reporting period than the equity did.
The turnover pipeline is well stocked, and this far beyond the end of the ongoing financial year. We are quite confident that we created sound preconditions for exploiting the current market development by placing our strategic focus on two areas, one being housing privatisation, the other the creation of a proprietary high-yield property portfolio.

ESTAVIS shares are listed on the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and meet the transparency requirements of the Prime Standard.
The sovereign debt crisis in some Eurozone member states, and the threat of a serious slowdown of the economy or of an actual recession that is increasingly discussed by economists, stirred up a profound sense of unease, and triggered sometimes substantial markdowns on the stock markets during the second half of 2011. ESTAVIS stock was not spared the effect of the trend, and suffered successive markdowns through mid-January 2012. During the weeks thereafter, however, the stock rallied and made substantial gains, being quoted upward of EUR 2.00 throughout the months of February and March.
On 30 March 2012, the last stock market trading day during the reporting period, the closing rate for ESTAVIS shares in Xetra trading of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange stood at EUR 2.15, down from a share price of EUR 2.50 at the start of the financial year on 1 July 2011. The market capitalisation of ESTAVIS AG equalled approximately EUR 30.77 million as of 30 March 2012. The ESTAVIS share price showed its highest value at EUR 2.50 at the beginning of the reporting period on 1 July 2011, and bottomed out at EUR 1.68 on 13 December 2011 (Xetra closing rate in each case). The daily trading volume was 26,995 shares on average during the reporting period.
The corporate performance of ESTAVIS AG is continuously monitored by the analysts of several institutes. The latest analyst reports have ventured the following estimates for ESTAVIS shares:
As in years past, ESTAVIS AG attended the 2011 specialist conference hosted by the Real Estate Share Initiative (IIA), a non-profit organisation of which ESTAVIS AG is a member. In addition to its agenda of expert talks, panel discussions and workshops, the IIA conference presents the perfect opportunity as a public event to meet with real estate companies, analysts, investors, service providers and journalists from inside and outside Germany. It is organised by IIA in close cooperation with the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and the German Property Federation (Zentraler Immobilien Ausschuss, ZIA).
The 11th IIA Specialist Conference convened in Frankfurt am Main on 19 October 2011. Florian Lanz, at the time CEO of ESTAVIS AG, seized the opportunity to brief attendees on the company's business model and business performance, and to profile ongoing real estate projects, in a corporate presentation and several one-to-one meetings during the event.
On 1 February 2012, Mr. Lanz attended the Small & Mid Cap Conference that was organised by Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG, and took place in the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Frankfurt am Main. It was yet another opportunity for the company to present itself, and to conduct a number of one-to-one meetings.

During the first nine months of the 2011/12 financial year, mounting evidence suggested an imminent slowdown of the global economy. This was explained, above all, by the sovereign debt crisis in Greece and by the debates revolving around the financial situation in other Eurozone member states, such as Italy, but also by the high sovereign debt in the United States and the unease it inspired on financial markets. In September 2011, the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) reached the conclusion that Germany is moving through the early stages of a slow economic cycle, citing the slow economic situation of the trading partners of Germany's strongly export-driven economy as essential influencing factors.
Notwithstanding the fact that Germany's gross domestic product (GDP) reported a growth by 3.0% for 2011 as a whole, the German economy presented itself in a less favourable state during the 2011/12 winter semester than it had in previous months, which must be blamed on the development of foreign demand and the fact that domestic companies and private households, too, cut back on spending. All things considered, 2012 is expected to see a lower GDP growth than 2011. That being said, the DIW German Institute for Economic Research assumes that the pace of Germany's economic growth will quicken again as 2012 progresses. This assessment is backed, inter alia, by the fact that the sentiment in the German economy brightened again in recent months.
The labour market in Germany continued to develop briskly despite the slowing economic growth. For the first time ever, the number of 41 million gainfully employed persons was exceeded in 2011, while the number of jobless dropped by around 446,000 down to 2.5 million. This translates into an unemployment rate of 5.7%, which is relatively low even by international standards. Among the European countries, for instance, only Austria, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands are on record with lower unemployment rates. Unemployment in Germany continued to decline, adjusted for seasonal variation, during the first three months of 2012.
The development on the real estate markets was not impaired by a deteriorating economic outlook. Rather, 2011 saw a considerable increase in transaction volumes and, in many places, in rent rates, too. The trend continued beyond the end of 2011 into 2012. According to information provided by the estate agency and consulting firm BNP Paribas Real Estate, the transaction volume on Germany's residential investment market during the first quarter of 2012 was at 3.64 billion Euros more than four times as high as that of the same quarter the previous year.
Especially Berlin's residential real estate markets, which accounts for a large share of the business activities of ESTAVIS AG, saw lively demand on the buyer side in recent months. The persistent lending restrictions and the banks' mounting requirements for the credit worthiness of private property buyers continue to have a certain limiting effect for the business development in the real estate sector. Market experts estimate that the financing environment is likely to remain difficult, or indeed to deteriorate further in some respects.
The business performance of ESTAVIS Group during the reporting period was primarily defined by the sound sales performance of the big listed-building projects in Berlin, as well as the apartment-retailing business and global sales. In the first quarter 2012, ESTAVIS moreover acquired an ensemble of ten residential buildings with altogether 214 apartments in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district from the portfolio of a foreign investment fund. The apartments are to be retailed by Accentro GmbH, a subsidiary of ESTAVIS AG.
In March 2012, the Supervisory Board of ESTAVIS AG appointed Jacopo Mingazzini, the founder and managing director of Accentro GmbH, which ESTAVIS acquired in 2011, as new Member of the Board. After the end of the reporting period, Florian Lanz asked the Supervisory Board to release him out of his role as Chairman of the Board of the company as of 18 April 2012, though he will maintain close relations with the company in an advisory role. As of 3 May 2012, the Supervisory Board appointed Andreas Lewandowski, most recently the Head of Transactions for TAG Group, as Member of the Board. His sphere of ownership includes the expansion of the company's real estate portfolio, whereas Jacopo Mingazzini will remain in charge of the areas retail trade and privatisations.
The revenues of ESTAVIS Group during the first nine months of the 2011/12 financial year added up to EUR 40.5 million, down from EUR 43.9 million during the prior-year period. This decline is particularly to blame on the fact that the sales growth in the retailing segment was more than offset by the considerably lower revenues from other activities.
Broken down for financial reporting purposes, revenues for continued operations were attributable to the company's following business segments:
The posted revenues in the retail trading segment include, among other items, the revenues from the global sale of several objects in the amount of EUR 9.2 million.
The other operating income, which amounted to EUR 4.8 million during the same period last year, dropped to EUR 3.4 million.
The gross margin for continued operations (revenues plus changes in inventories minus cost of materials/revenues) amounted to 30.3% (previous year: 32.0%).
The total operating performance declined from EUR 44.4 million to EUR 39.1 million during the first nine months of the financial year.
Staff costs during the reporting period added up to EUR 2.4 million (prior-year period: EUR 2.0 million). The year-on-year increase must be seen in the context of the acquisition of Accentro GmbH in the intervening months. While the number of staff on the Group's payroll went down to 37 as of 31 March 2012, staff costs will not be reduced by a corresponding amount except in subsequent accounting periods due to the compensations paid.
At EUR 9.5 million, the other operating expenses substantially undercut the figure of the same period last year (EUR 13.8 million), which is essentially explained by lower sales costs.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 4.0 million (previous year: EUR 4.3 million). The EBIT margin (EBIT/revenue) amounted to 9.8% during the first nine months of the financial year, and thus slightly over the level of the prior-year period (9.75%). The decline in earnings is explained, in addition to the low sales revenues, by the fact that the earnings of the prior-year period were defined by income from the reversal of provisions for rental guarantees and pending construction obligations, as well as from the appreciation of investment property, whereas no such earnings accrued during the reporting period or else did so to a lesser extent.
The financial result for the reporting period equalled EUR –3.0 million, and thus slightly exceeded the prior-year figure of EUR –3.2 million.
With income taxes in the amount of EUR 0.4 million taken into account, the consolidated net profit equalled EUR 0.5 million (prior-year period: EUR 0.7 million). This translates into EUR 0.03 in earnings per share (previous year: EUR 0.07).
The total assets of the ESTAVIS Group as of 31 March 2012 increased by EUR 15.5 million or 10.6% to EUR 161.8 million (30 June 2011: EUR 146.4 million).
Essential changes concerned primarily the inventories (EUR +7.6 million) and cash and cash equivalents (EUR –2.6 million), as well as the trade receivables (EUR +5.4 million) and other receivables (EUR +6.1 million).
Financial liabilities, which mainly relate to liabilities to banks, increased by a total of EUR 4.7 million to EUR 66.7 million (30 June 2011: EUR 62.0 million).
At EUR 61.2 million, company equity was slightly higher by the reporting date of 31 March 2012 than it was at the reporting date of the previous financial year, 30 June 2011 (EUR 60.7 million).
Since the total assets increased faster than the company equity during the reporting period, the equity quota of ESTAVIS Group dropped from 41.5% as of 30 June 2011 down to 37.8% as of 31 March 2012.
Inversely, gearing (debt/total capital) increased from 58.5% at the reporting date of the previous financial year to 62.2%. The ratio of cash and cash equivalents to total assets equalled 0.6% at the end of the reporting period (30 June 2011: 2.5%). The cash ratio of ESTAVIS Group (cash and cash equivalents/current liabilities) came to 1.3% as of 31 March 2012 (30 June 2011: 5.0%).
The net cash from operating activities added up to EUR –2.1 million during the reporting period, compared to EUR –1.8 million in the prior-year period.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to EUR 0.7 million in the reporting period (previous year: EUR 0.0 million).
During the first nine mounths of the 2011/12 financial year, the cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR –1.3 million (previous year: EUR 0.0 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 continued existence. The risk management system allows action to be taken against potentially adverse developments and events in a timely manner, and facilitates, where required, the implementation of countermeasures before any significant damage is incurred.
There have been no significant revisions to the risks for 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.
In the months to come, ESTAVIS AG will continue to pursue the ongoing projects involving listed buildings, along with its apartment retailing activities. With the acquisition of another ten residential buildings totalling 214 apartments in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district in February 2012, the Group developed additional revenue potential that the retailing of these apartments implies.
Another focus of ESTAVIS' future activities – in addition to its privatisation business – will be the build-up of a proprietary high-yield real estate portfolio. The Board believes that this strategic prioritisation will provide an essential basis for a positive development of earnings during the next two financial years and beyond.
In the ongoing financial year, the Board expects to achieve the forecast sales and result targets by compensating variances from budget with additional new activities.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for publication by the company's Management Board in May 2012. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were not checked by an auditor or subjected to review.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the third quarter of the 2011/12 financial year, which ended on 31 March 2012, were prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU by way of ordinance. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent consolidated financial statement of ESTAVIS AG for the year ended 30 June 2011.
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 2011.
The current financial year is the first year in which the application of the following standards has become mandatory:
| Standard/Interpretation | |
|---|---|
| IAS 24 | Amendment: Related Party Disclosures |
| IFRIC 14 | Amendment: Voluntary Prepaid Contributions under a Minimum Funding Requirement |
| Various | IFRS Improvements 2010 |
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 posted 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 quoted in thousands of euro (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 March 2012, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of ESTAVIS AG included 42 subsidiaries and one associate. The status quo of the consolidated group as of 30 June 2011 remained unchanged during the first semester of the ongoing financial year. During the third quarter, 2 property management companies expired by accruing to another property management company owned by the Group. An inactive property management company was acquired.

Year on year, the segment results for the first 9 months of the 2011/12 financial year present themselves as shown below:
During the third quarter, revenues in the Other activities segment included an item in the amount of TEUR 690 (previous year: TEUR 505) for certain liabilities having become barred by the statute of limitations. During the previous year, the Other activities segment also included revenues from the reversal of provisions for rental guarantees and pending construction obligations in the amount of TEUR 537, as well as from reversals of write-downs of investment property in the amount of TEUR 1,345. The actual change in value in investment properties during the second quarter in the amount of TEUR 240 was realised through the sale of an asset. The income is allocated to the Other activities segment. During the first quarter of the previous year, provisions for disputed claims from rental guarantees in the amount of TEUR 804 were reversed. The income is allocated to the Other activities segment.
During the concluded financial year, Mr. Florian Lanz, CEO of ESTAVIS AG (until 17 April 2012), and Mr. Eric Mozanowski, member of the Management Board of ESTAVIS AG (until 31 December 2011), assumed guarantees amounting to TEUR 3,500 each for various loans granted to ESTAVIS Group. Remuneration of 5% p.a. was agreed for each of them. Repayment of the loans guaranteed caused this guarantee to decline to TEUR 2,000 each by the end of the reporting period. During the third quarter, another guarantee for a new loan of ESTAVIS Group was granted in an amount of TEUR 1,000 subject to the same conditions.
One of the Group's member companies still had a liability to Mr. Florian Lanz in the amount of TEUR 138 by the balance sheet date. It results from a profit-sharing amount to which a sales partner was entitled in connection with a major project, but which that sales partner sold in parts to Mr. Lanz.
Mr. Eric Mozanowski acquired four apartments from several member companies at a price of TEUR 389.
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 2010/11 financial year changed or derecognised.
The ESTAVIS Group employed 37 staff by the end of the quarter. During the same quarter last year, there was a workforce of 46. On average, 48 employees were on the Group's payroll during the past financial year.
