alstria had an exciting start into the year 2012, which started with the acquisition of a portfolio of six office properties. The buildings are located in the metropolitan areas of Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Hamburg and were acquired for a total consideration of EUR 95 m (all in cost). The portfolio is generating a passing rent of around EUR 8.1 m per annum, has an average lease length of 4.1 years and reflects a gross initial yield on cost of 8.5%. In addition to the secured cash flow the acquisition offers a vacancy of 26%, which will further improve the returns when leased up. In order to finance the transaction alstria executed a 10% overnight capital increase at the end of February and took in gross proceeds of EUR 61 m.
Our real estate operations performed in line with expectation with around 3,600 sqm of new leases signed during the first quarter of the year and 30,000 sqm of lease extensions. The leasing market remains strong and supportive, and we expect 2012 to generate similar leasing results compared to 2011. In order to be in a better position to benefit from the leasing markets, alstria is in the process of opening a branch in the city of Düsseldorf. This should allow us to be more reactive on the ground and improve our leasing performance in the Rhine/Ruhr area.
The strong operating performance of the Company is reflected in our numbers. Our revenues in the first quarter of 2012 were up by 11% to EUR 23.6 m and our FFO increased even stronger by 22% to EUR 9.8 m. The over-proportional increase of our FFO is a result of our ongoing deleveraging process and economies of scale, as our operating costs were flat compared to last year. More importantly the FFO per share is increasing strongly despite the capital increases with an improvement year-on-year of around 9% to EUR 0.12 for the quarter. We are therefore delivering on plan: Invest the proceeds from our capital increases and generate immediate FFO growth. Our recent acquisition will be consolidated on our balance sheet at the beginning of May 2012 and further drive our rental income, our FFO and our FFO per share development.
We therefore expect our 2012 rental income to increase by 10% to EUR 100 m and our FFO to grow by 15% to at least EUR 40 m.

In the first quarter of 2012, equity markets had a brilliant start into the year. Marked by hopes for a continued positive economic trend in the major world economies and a slowdown in the European debt crisis, the German DAX index soared by 1,300 points by mid-March, marking an index level prior to the sharp fall in equity markets mid-2011. This level could however not be sustained. Concerns about the impact of high energy prices on the global economy and doubts about the success of the southern European austerity programs are currently burdening the capital markets. Nevertheless, the German DAX at the end of the first quarter stood 16% higher compared to the year-end 2011 level.
The price of the alstria share did not follow this positive trend and has underperformed the broad market over the first three months of 2012, despite the strong operating performance of the Company. The share price dropped from EUR 9.20 at the end of December 2011 to EUR 8.43 by end of March 2012.
The Annual General Meeting of alstria office REIT-AG held on April 24, 2012 resolved to grant a dividend entitlement of EUR 0.44 per share for the financial year 2011. As the newly issued shares from the capital increase in March 2012 are entitled also eligible for dividend payments, the total dividend amounted to EUR 34,704 k.

On March 31, 2012, alstria's portfolio consisted of 79 office properties and one retail property with approximately 860,000 sqm of lettable area and a contractual vacancy rate of 10.7%. The portfolio is valued at a yield of 6.3% and the remaining weighted average unexpired lease term is approximately 7.9 years. Additionally, alstria is 49% shareholder in two joint ventures.
For a detailed description of the alstria portfolio, please refer to the Annual Report 2011 (Part I/II - Company Report, pp. 42 to 61).

In February 2012, alstria signed a binding and notarised agreement for the sale of one asset in Nuremberg. As the transfer of benefits and burden took place on April 1, 2012, after the reporting period, this asset is classified as "asset held for sale" as of March 31, 2012.
In February 2012, alstria successfully executed a capital increase and placed 7,170,362 ordinary bearer shares in the market. The Company increased its nominal share capital from EUR 71,703,625 to EUR 78,873,987.
The funds raised through the capital increase – after deduction of fees and expenses incurred with the issuance – have been used to finance the equity portion of the acquisition of six assets. In February 2012, alstria signed a binding notarised agreement for the acquisition of a portfolio of these six assets, located in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Norderstedt and Neu-Isenburg. The transfer of benefits and burden took place in the second quarter of 2012, after the reporting period.
Additionally, in November 2011, alstria and its joint venture partners in the joint venture "Alte Post" signed a binding and notarised agreement for the disposal of the "Alte Post"-property. This asset has been transferred to the new owner in March 2012.
In the first quarter of 2012 alstria's asset management was successful with respect to re-letting vacant areas. A number of smaller re-letting achievements, totalled in over 3,600 sqm of newly signed lease agreements.
Due to the acquisition of value-add assets and the widening of the strategic vacancy, the vacancy rate increased to 10.7% or around 91,900 sqm. Of this 91,900 sqm, around 32,600 sqm represents strategic vacancy (intended vacancy implemented by alstria as part of its repositioning process for certain assets), while the remainder are operational vacancies.
The key focus on a small number of anchor tenants remains one of the main characteristics of alstria's portfolio. About 78% of total rental revenues are generated by alstria's top nine tenants. The 2012 portfolio also reflects the clear focus on one single asset class: offices. These make up 94% of the total lettable area.
Revenues increased in the first quarter 2012 by 10.7% compared to the first quarter 2011 due to prior year's acquisitions. Revenues amounted to EUR 23,603 k (Q1 2011: EUR 21,313 k) with real estate operating expenses of around 10.0% of revenues at EUR 2,363 k (Q1 2011: EUR 1,332 k or 6.2% of revenues). As a consequence of the consolidation of the new assets, net rental income increased by EUR 1,177 k to EUR 21,158 k compared to the first quarter of 2011.
Administrative expenses and personnel expenses for the reporting quarter decreased by EUR 1,197 k to EUR 2,748 k (Q1 2011: EUR 3,945 k). The higher administrative expenses in Q1 2011 resulted mainly from expenses related to the placement of shares in the market in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012 total operating expenses amounted to 11.6% of total revenues (Q1 2011: 18.5%).
alstria closed the first quarter 2012 with a consolidated result of EUR 10,229 k. This compares to a consolidated result of EUR 9,866 k in the first quarter of the previous year. The increase in the net operating result is mainly due to higher revenues and lower operating expenses in Q1 2012.

2 FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles, in particular IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to the Company's income or cash-flow measures as determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, no standard definition exists for FFO. Thus, the FFO or measures with similar names as presented by other companies may not necessarily be comparable to alstria's FFO.
Funds from operations (FFO) amount to EUR 9,790 k for the reporting period compared to EUR 8,014 k in the first quarter 2011. The increase is mainly due to higher revenues of EUR 2,290 k (Q1 2012: EUR 23,603 k; Q1 2011: EUR 21,313 k) and lower operating costs of EUR 1,197 k (Q1 2012: EUR 2,748 k; Q1 2011: EUR 3,945 k).
As a result, FFO per share was EUR 0.12 in the first quarter 2012 (Q1 2011: EUR 0.11).
alstria uses hedge accounting on all qualifying hedges in order to limit the impact of the volatility of interest rate markets on profit and loss. This allows alstria to recognise the losses or gains on the qualifying part of the derivatives through the equity cash flow hedge reserve with no effect on income. For more details, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2011.

A decrease of EUR 1,580 k of changes in fair values of derivatives effective in a cash flow hedge have been recognised in the hedging reserve in the first quarter 2012 (Q1 2011: increase of EUR 13,891 k).
The ineffective portion recognised in the profit or loss that arises from cash flow hedges amounted to a fair value loss of EUR 401 k (Q1 2011: gain of EUR 1,328 k). Further gains totalling EUR 170 k (2011: gain of EUR 1,074 k) due to the market valuation of derivatives not included in hedge accounting were recognised in the income statement.
A loss of EUR 250 k (Q1 2011: EUR 364 k) relates to the cumulative losses from cash flow hedges for which the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur due to premature repayment of the loans.
Together, this results in a loss of EUR 481 k (Q1 2011: gain of EUR 2,038 ) which is shown as net result from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives.
The following table shows the financial result for the period January 1 to March 31, 2012:

| Other financial expenses | –9 | –7 | 28.6% |
| Net financing costs | –9,187 | –8,607 | 6.7% |
As at March 31, 2012 alstria was not in breach of any of its financial covenants.
Net financing costs increased by EUR 580 k to EUR 9,187 k in comparison with the first quarter 2011. The increase is attributable to an increased average loan level compared to the previous reporting period.
The resulting consolidated net result amounts to EUR 10,229 k (Q1 2011: EUR 9,866 k). The main reason for the increase in the consolidated net result compared to the same period in 2011 is based on higher revenues (Q1 2012: EUR 23,603 k; Q1 2011: EUR 21,313 k) and lower operating costs (Q1 2012: EUR 2,748 k; Q1 2011: EUR 3,945).
Earnings per share are EUR 0.14 for the first three months of 2012.
alstria's financial management is carried out at corporate level, with individual loans being taken out at property and portfolio level. The main goal of alstria's financial policy is the establishment of secured, long-term structures to support the development of its business whilst providing the required degree of flexibility. Corporate management of debt financing forms the basis for harmonised capital procurement, optimised management of interest and liquidity risks and efficiency improvements for the whole Group.
In conjunction with the disposal of one asset EUR 2,040 k of the syndicated loan has been repaid in the first quarter of 2012.

Cash flow from operating activities for the first three months amounted to EUR 9,989 k. The increase compared to the first quarter 2011 (EUR 8,042 k) is mainly the result of lower payments for interest expenses due to a change in interest payment dates.
The cash flow from investing activities is mainly comprised by the cash outflows resulting from investment in existing properties (EUR 3,818 k) and prepayments undertaken on account of the acquisition of a property portfolio not transferred until the end of the reporting period (EUR 8,951 k). Cash inflows of EUR 3,400 k relate to payments received for the sale of a property which was transferred in the second quarter.
The cash flow from financing activities reflects cash inflows in relation to the proceeds from shares issued in an amount of EUR 59,631 k net. Cash outflows were made in an amount of EUR 2,704 k for the redemption of loans.
As a result, alstria ended the first three months of 2012 with a cash position of EUR 153,407 k (March 31, 2011: EUR 87,896 k).
The total value of investment property at reporting date amounts to EUR 1,529,007 k in comparison with EUR 1,528,589 k at the beginning of the financial year. The slight increase of investment property is based on the capitalised refurbishment measures which relate to the development projects in Hamburg such as the retrofit of the Mundsburg Office Tower and the refurbishment of the asset at Steinstrasse 5. Interests in joint ventures refer to the at equity method consolidation of two joint venture companies.

The balance sheet reflects a total equity position of EUR 836,842 k with an equity ratio of 47.5% (December 31, 2011: EUR 768,195 k or 45.5%).
The G-REIT equity ratio which is defined as total equity divided by immovable assets increased by 4.2 percentage points to 52.9% (December 31, 2011: 48.7%). According to the G-REIT Act (REIT-Gesetz - REITG), the minimum requirement for compliance with G-REIT criteria is an equity ratio of 45% calculated at the end of the financial year.
On February 23, 2012 alstria successfully concluded a capital increase and placed 7,170,362 new shares in the market. This increased the Company's nominal share capital from EUR 71,703,625 to EUR 78,873,987. The share placement price was EUR 8.50 per share, totalling in gross proceeds for the Company of around EUR 61 m.
NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value according to EPRA1) dropped from EUR 10.71 per share to EUR 10.61 per share. The 1% decrease in NNNAV per share should be considered in light of the 10% increase in the number of shares (March 31, 2012: 78,873,987 shares; December 31, 2011: 71,703,625 shares). If the current number of shares is taken as a basis for the calculation as at December 31, 2011, this results in a NNNAV per share of EUR 9.74. This result mirrors the specified increase of total equity.
Following the capital increase at the end of the first quarter 2012, equity increased as against December 2011. Due to a decline in fair value of financial instruments, the hedging reserve decreased by EUR 1,330 k from EUR -17,760 k as at December 31, 2011 to EUR -19,090 k as at March 31, 2012. The consolidated profit for the period resulted in equity growth of EUR 10,229 k. In total, this leads to an increase in equity from EUR 68,647 k to EUR 836,842 k .2
After the drawdown of two new loans in late-2011, the long-term loans remained relatively stable in the first quarter of 2012 (March 31, 2012: EUR 852,140 k; December 31, 2011: EUR 854,814 k). The slight decrease is a result of the repayment of EUR 2,040 k of the syndicated loan in conjunction with the disposal of one asset in Nuremberg.
Current liabilities increased by 41.8% to EUR 30,233 k, which is mainly linked to the rise in other current liabilities. These other current liabilities, amounting to EUR 17,862 k mainly comprise accruals for outstanding invoices (EUR 4,812 k), deferred income (EUR 3,012 k) and other accruals (EUR 10,038 k). These other accruals contain liabilities for transfer tax in the amount of EUR 4,496 k in conjunction with the acquisition of a portfolio which has been transferred in the second quarter of 2012.

alstria office REIT-AG, Hamburg, (hereinafter referred to as the 'Company' or 'alstria office REIT-AG' and, together with its subsidiaries, as 'alstria' or the 'Group'), is a German stock corporation registered in Hamburg. The Group's principal activities are described in detail in section 1 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2011.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the 'consolidated interim financial statements') were authorised for issue by resolution of the Company's management board on May 3, 2012.
These consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not contain all of the disclosures and explanations required in annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2011.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those policies applied in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2011, as outlined in those annual financial statements.
The following new interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the financial reporting period beginning January 1, 2012:
› Amendments to IFRS 7 'Financial instruments: Disclosures', issued on October 7, 2010. The amendments are applicable to financial years starting on or after July 1, 2011. The amendments require enhanced derecognition disclosures in case of transfer transactions of certain financial assets. As transfer transactions of financial assets are not a normal part of alstria's business, these amendments have no significant influence on alstria's financial reporting.
The following new standards and amendments to published standards have been issued but are not effective for the financial year 2012 and have not been applied by the Group before they are mandatory:
2011) has the objective of setting standards to be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates when an entity elects, or is required by local regulations, to present separate (non-consolidated) financial statements. IAS 27 (2011) together with IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' supersedes the previous version of IAS 27 (2008) 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' including the related interpretation SIC-12 'Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities'. IAS 27 (revised 2011) is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Since none of alstria's Group companies prepares single entity financial statements in accordance with IFRS, no impact on accounting is expected as a result of the revised standard.
on or after January 1, 2013. It is expected, that the new standard will have no material effect on net worth, financial position and results of operations.
New are the IFRS 7 disclosure requirements inserted in connection with certain settlement agreements. The amendments to IFRS 7 are to apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Impacts from these changes may result in terms of reporting in the event that there is a netting agreement.
June 16, 2011, the IASB published amendments to IAS 19, implementing new reporting procedures on employee benefits. The amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are not expected to affect presentation of the Group's financial reporting.
› IFRIC 20 'Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine': IFRIC 20 considers when and how to account separately for benefits arising from the stripping activities in surface mining operations. IFRIC 20 applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The interpretation has no relevance for the Group.
Two new entities - a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft), alstria office Portfolio 2 GmbH & Co. KG and its general partner (Komplementärin), alstria Portfolio 2 GP GmbH - were established in the first quarter 2012. As fully-owned affiliates of alstria office REIT-AG, these companies have been consolidated as part of the alstria Group.
There have been no further changes to the consolidated Group since the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011.
Preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made for various items that have an effect on the amount and disclosure of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates.
The personnel expenses shown in the profit and loss account totalling EUR 1,330 k (January 1 to March 31, 2011: EUR 1,481 k) include accrued bonuses in the amount of EUR 282 k (January 1 to March 31, 2011: EUR 304 k). Furthermore, income from the reversal of provision for personnel liabities of EUR 21 k (January 1 to March 31, 2011: expenses of EUR 158 k) relating to share-based compensation granted to the management are included (see note 11), as are expenses for share-based compensation resulting from the convertible profit participation rights granted to employees in an amount of EUR 117 k (January 1 to March 31, 2011: EUR 75 k).
