outstanding result. Compared to the prior year quarter our revenues grew by 11.4% to EUR 26.3 million, reflecting organic growth on the one hand and acquisition-related effects on the other hand. Our FFO increased massively by 42.2% to EUR 13.9 million. This substantial increase should be looked at carefully as it mainly reflects seasonal effects, which had an impact on our real estate operating costs, as well as assets, which have been disposed of but were still on our balance sheet in the first quarter. Our full-year guidance remains unchanged with expected revenues of EUR 103 million and FFO of EUR 45 million. Our continued deleveraging strategy also led to a further improvement of our balance sheet. As per the end of the first quarter our G-REIT equity ratio stood at 51.5% and the net LTV further decreased to 46.8%.
On the operational side our leasing result developed according to plan. In the first three months of 2013 we were able to sign new leases for 7,100 sqm and lease extensions for 4,800 sqm. For the upcoming months we are optimistic that we will unlock further growth potential by leasing more space and reducing our vacancy.
5 In the first three months of 2013 alstria generated an The disposal of smaller assets in non-core cities is well underway. We have exited Potsdam, Zwickau and Würzburg and have sold one of the two assets we owned in Erfurt. So far we have signed binding contracts in order to dispose of five assets for a total value of EUR 26.5 million. These assets generated total income of EUR 1.8 million per annum.
One of alstria's main characteristics is its active asset management approach. Over the past years we have consistently invested around EUR 20 million per year in refurbishment measures. These developments usually generate higher returns than our current portfolio and they also strengthen our CSR profile, because refurbishments usually go hand in hand with an improved sustainability profile of the building. In recognition of our contribution, the City of Hamburg invited us to join their environmental partnership program in the beginning of the year.
The first quarter of 2013 has started on good ground and we are looking forward to capitalising on alstria's strength in order to deliver the expected result during the year.
Kind Regards
Olivier Elamine Alexander Dexne
The German stock market had a very strong start into the year. The attainment of a new all-time high of the DAX30 seemed to be achievable, but by mid-March the market was captured by new scepticism. Besides the Cyprus financial crisis and the slowdown of economic reforms in Southern Europe, investors became concerned about the economic developments in Europe and the United States. Nevertheless, equity markets continue to be driven by cheap money provided by the central banks and the lack of investment alternatives. In the first quarter of 2013, the German index DAX30 recorded a strong increase to 8,058 points and almost hit the all-time-high of 8,152 points. However, the closing level as of March 31, 2013 was well below that mark at 7,795 points, reflecting a positive performance of 2.5% in the first quarter of 2013.
alstria's share price developed largely stable in the first three months of 2013. Therefore, the performance of the alstria stock was in line with the main benchmark indices EPRA Europe and EPRA Germany. In the first three months of 2013, alstria's share price fluctuated between EUR 8.73 and EUR 9.67, closing at EUR 8.79 at the end of the first quarter.

In the first quarter of 2013, the transfer of benefits and burden took place for two properties, which were classified as 'asset held for sale' as of December 31, 2012. The first transfer for the property in Dresden took place as of January 1, 2013 and the second transfer for the property in Düsseldorf took place as of February 1, 2013.
alstria signed binding and notarised agreements for the sale of two properties during the first quarter of 2013:
In the first quarter of 2013 alstria's asset management was successful with respect to re-letting vacant areas. alstria signed new leases* totalling approx. 7,100 sqm during the first three months of 2013.
A key re-letting achievement was the lease up with a new tenant in Stuttgart, Ernsthaldenstrasse. The tenant signed a five-year contract for around 2,500 sqm of office and ancillary space. The new lease will start in the second half of the year 2013.
The vacancy rate remained stable at 11.6% or 106,385 sqm compared with the vacancy rate as of December 31, 2012. Of these 106,385 sqm, around 35,555 sqm represent strategic vacancy (intended vacancy implemented by alstria as part of its repositioning process for certain assets), while the remainder are operational vacancies.
* New leases correspond to lease of vacant space. It does not account for any lease renewal, prolongation or tenant exercise of renewal option.
The key focus on a small number of anchor tenants remains one of the main characteristics of alstria's portfolio. About 72% of total rental revenues are generated by alstria's top eleven tenants. The 2013 portfolio also reflects the clear focus on one single asset class: offices. These make up 93% of the total lettable area.
Revenues increased in the first quarter 2013 by 11.4% compared to the first quarter 2012 due to prior year acquisitions. Revenues amounted to EUR 26,291 k (Q1 2012: EUR 23,603 k) with real estate operating expenses of around 6.0% of revenues at EUR 1,580 k (Q1 2012: EUR 2,363 k or 10.0% of revenues). As a consequence of the consolidation of the new assets, net rental income increased by EUR 3,715 k to EUR 24,873 k compared to the first quarter 2012.
Administrative expenses and personnel expenses for the reporting quarter remained relatively stable and decreased by EUR 97 k to EUR 2,651 k (Q1 2012: EUR 2,748 k). In the first quarter of 2013 total operating expenses amounted to 10.1% of total revenues (Q1 2012: 11.6%).
alstria closed the first quarter 2013 with a consolidated result of EUR 15,001 k. This compares to a consolidated result of EUR 10,229 k in the first quarter of the previous year. The increase in the net operating result is mainly due to higher revenues and lower real estate operating expenses in Q1 2013.

1) Non-cash income or expenses and non-recurring effects.
²) (A)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 (A)FFO. Thus, the (A)FFO or measures with similar names as presented by other companies may not necessarily be comparable to alstria's (A)FFO.
3) The AFFO is equal to the FFO with adjustments made for capital expenditures used to maintain the quality of the underlying investment portfolio.
Funds from operations (FFO) amounted to EUR 13,919 k for the reporting period compared to EUR 9,790 k in the first quarter 2012. The increase is mainly due to higher revenues of EUR 2,688 k (Q1 2013: EUR 26,291 k; Q1 2012: EUR 23,603 k), lower real estate operating expenses of EUR 783 k (Q1 2013: EUR 1,580 k; Q1 2012: EUR 2,363 k) and lower operating costs of EUR 97 k (Q1 2013: EUR 2,651 k; Q1 2012: EUR 2,748 k).
As a result, FFO per share was EUR 0.18 in the first quarter 2013 (Q1 2012: EUR 0.12).
alstria uses hedge accounting on all qualifying hedges in order to limit the impact of the volatility of interest rates 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, 2012).

An increase of EUR 5,020 k of changes in fair values of derivatives effective in a cash flow hedge has been recognised in the hedging reserve in the first quarter 2013 (Q1 2012: decrease of EUR 1,580 k).
The ineffective portion recognised in the profit or loss that arises from cash flow hedges amounted to a fair value gain of EUR 49 k (Q1 2012: loss of EUR 401 k). Further gains totalling EUR 20 k (Q1 2012: gain of EUR 170 k) due to the market valuation of derivatives not included in hedge accounting were recognised in the income statement.
A loss of EUR 261 k (Q1 2012: loss of EUR 250 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 192 k (Q1 2012: loss of EUR 481 k) which is shown as net result from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives.

| Other financial expenses | –22 | –9 | 144.4 |
| Net financing costs | –8,554 | –9,187 | –6.9 |
As at March 31, 2013 alstria was not in breach of any of its financial covenants.
Net financing costs decreased by EUR 633 k to EUR 8,554 k in comparison with the first quarter 2012. The decrease is attributable to a lower average interest level compared to the previous years reporting period.
The resulting consolidated net result amounts to EUR 15,001 k (Q1 2012: EUR 10,229 k). The main reason for the increase in the consolidated net result compared to the same period in 2012 is based on higher revenues (Q1 2013: EUR 26,291 k; Q1 2012: EUR 23,603 k) and lower real estate operating expenses (Q1 2013: EUR 1,580 k; Q1 2012: EUR 2,363 k).
Earnings per share are EUR 0.19 for the first three months of 2013.
alstria's financial management is carried out at corporate level, with individual loans being taken out at property and portfolio level. alstria's main financial goal is to establish a sustainable long-term finance structure. An integral part of this structure is that long-term loans are covered by corresponding hedging instruments, such as swaps and caps.
The aim of this strategy is to largely eliminate shortterm interest volatility from the income statement. In conjunction with the disposal of one asset liability EUR 5,460 k of the syndicated loan has been repaid in the first quarter of 2013.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months amounted to EUR 14,381 k. The increase compared to the first quarter 2012 (EUR 9,989 k) resulted mainly from higher rental revenues and lower payments for interest expenses.
The cash flows from investing activities are impacted by cash inflows of EUR 7,620 k received for the sale of investment properties. Cash outflows related to investments in existing properties (EUR 3,002 k).
The cash flows from financing activities reflect cash outflows made in an amount of EUR 5,757 k for the redemption of loans.
As a result, alstria ended the first three months of 2013 with a cash position of EUR 131,620 k (March 31, 2012: EUR 153,407 k).
The total value of investment property at the reporting date amounts to EUR 1,599,890 k in comparison with EUR 1,622,988 k at the beginning of the financial year. The decrease of investment property is based on the reclassification of five assets to "assets held for sale", which will be transferred to the new owners during the second and third quarter of 2013.

| Fair value of properties held for sale | 26,462 |
| Interests in joint ventures | 18,137 |
| Fair value of immovable assets | 1,650,426 |
The fair value of immovable assets is used for the G-REIT equity ratio calculation.
The balance sheet reflects a total equity position of EUR 849,696 k with an equity ratio of 47.4% (December 31, 2012: EUR 829,287 k or 46.4%).
The G-REIT equity ratio which is defined as total equity divided by immovable assets increased by 1.5 percentage points to 51.5% (December 31, 2012: 50.0%). 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.
NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value according to EPRA*) increased from EUR 10.50 per share as of December 31, 2012 to EUR 10.75 per share as of March 31, 2013. The consolidated profit for the period (EUR 15,001 k) is primarily responsible for the increase in equity. In total, this leads to an increase in equity from EUR 829,287 k to EUR 849,696 k**.
Long-term loans decreased by 1.7% to 866,994 in the first quarter of 2013. Around EUR 15,568 k has been reclassified from long-term loans to short-term loans, as this amount will be repaid during the second quarter of 2013.
Current liabilities increased by 23.8 % to EUR 34,796 k, which is mainly linked to the rise in short-term loans. During the first quarter of 2013, EUR 5,460 k of the syndicated loan was repaid in conjunction with the disposal of one asset in Düsseldorf. An additional EUR 15,568 k has been categorised as short-term loans. Other current liabilities amounting to EUR 9,050 k mainly comprised outstanding invoices (EUR 2,904 k), deferred income (EUR 1,309 k) and other current liabilities (EUR 3,924 k).
The EU Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM Directive) will result in a more regulated European investment industry in the future. The Directive will be transposed into national law by mid-2013. Currently, it is not yet clear whether alstria as a REIT will fall under the scope of the directive. The implementation of the law could

result in higher expenses due to new regulatory requirements. The risks and opportunities to which alstria is exposed are described in detail in the Annual Report 2012. There have been no further changes to the status in that report.
In April 2013, alstria signed binding and notarised agreements for the sale of two assets in Würzburg and Erfurt. As the transfer of benefits and burden will take place in the second or third quarter of 2013, after the reporting period, these assets are classified as 'assets held for sale' as per March 31, 2013.
Furthermore, alstria signed a binding and notarised agreement for the acquisition for one land asset in Düsseldorf (owned through a leasehold) which was taken over by alstria. The transfer of benefits and burdens took place in the second quarter of 2013.
Following the current business development in Q1 2013, alstria expects revenues of around EUR 103 m and funds from operations (FFO) of around EUR 45 m for the year 2013.
The management report contains statements relating to anticipated future developments. These statements are based on current assessments and are, by their very nature, exposed to risks and uncertainty. Actual developments may differ from those predicted in these statements.

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, 2012.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the 'consolidated interim financial statements') were authorised for issue by resolution of the Company's Management Board on May 2, 2013.
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 the annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2012.
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 December 31, 2012, 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, 2013:
› IFRS 13 'Fair value measurement'; new standard issued on May 12, 2011. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 'Sharebased Payment', leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 'Leases', measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 'Inventories', or value in use in IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets'. IFRS 13 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
A new feature is 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. Impact from these changes may result in terms of reporting in the event that there is a netting agreement.
› Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of financial statements'. On June 16, 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published amendments to IAS 1. The amendments to IAS 1 retain the 'one or two statement' approach at the option of the entity and only revise the way other comprehensive income is presented, requiring
separate subtotals for those elements which may be 'recycled', and those elements that will not. The amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The amendments does not affect the presentation of the Group's financial statements.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards have been issued but are not effective for the financial year 2013 and have not been applied by the Group before they are mandatory:
› IFRS 9 'Financial instruments'; new standard issued November 12, 2009. The standard addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect the Group's accounting of financial assets. Application of the standard is not mandatory until January 1, 2015. But subject to EU endorsement, the standard is available for early adoption. The Group has not yet assessed the full impact of IFRS 9.
* Shift of the mandatory apllication date for EU companies to January 1, 2014.
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, 2014*. 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.
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.
There have been no changes to the consolidated Group since the consolidated financial statements

In relation to the disposal of a office buildings alstria repaid EUR 5,460 k on its syndicated loan in the reporting period 2013.
Derivative financial instruments include interest swaps and caps. The purpose of these financial derivatives is to hedge against interest risks arising from the Company's business activities and its sources of financing.
The fair value of the derivative financial instruments was determined by an independent expert by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market interest rates.
For a more detailed description of the Group's derivative financial instruments and the presentation of their fair values please refer to page 11 et seq. of the consolidated interim management report.
All of the Group's financial instruments which are measured in the balance sheet at fair value are valued using the level 2 valuation measurement approach. This only applies to the Group's financial derivatives, as there are no other financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value determination of the Group's financial derivatives is based on forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves.
