ADLER Real Estate AG well positioned

• ADLER Real Estate AG publishes Nine-month result

• Expectations for 2008 adjusted

Hamburg, 14 November 2008. ADLER Real Estate AG (ISIN DE0005008007),
Frankfurt, is adapting to the general slowdown in economic growth and
altered conditions on the financing markets brought on by the financial
crisis. For the year as a whole, the Management Board assumes that the
company will achieve a slightly positive—but in all cases a
balanced—result, after original forecasts called for a return of approx.
10% to 15% on equity. The current estimate takes into account the tougher
financing conditions for large real estate projects, which could lead to a
slowdown in transactions. Irrespective of this, the company is still
consistently further developing its current projects. Various successful
steps, including the parceling of building land and the preparations for
issuance of building permits, have improved the company asset values.

The financial statements as of 30 September 2008 still do not contain the
sale, successfully closed in October, of the land to develop a logistics
center in Duisburg. As a result, the income statement for the first nine
months closed with a negative consolidated result of EUR 2.4 million. EBIT
also amounted to minus EUR 2.4 million. Revenue declined in the reporting
period to EUR 3.14 million (previous year:15.3), but was not comparable to
the previous year, which included extraordinary income from the takeover of
MÜBAU Real Estate GmbH. The sale of the property for logistic space became
effective in October 2008 when the purchase price became due. This will
lead to a significant improvement in the Group's liquidity and earnings
positions in the fourth quarter. The equity ratio amounts to 74%. The
company thus feels it is well armed to pass through the general crisis and
to take advantage of any opportunities that arise.
