1. Interim management report
1.1. Summary of activities
Cofinimmo was able to take advantage of favourable capital market conditions during the first half of 2015 to increase its shareholders' equity by 285.4 million EUR. At 30.06.2015, the Group thus has an investment capacity of over 500 million EUR to deploy over the coming years.
In 2015, the Company continued to realise the strategic objectives it set for itself, that is:
- An increase in healthcare real estate activities in Germany and the Netherlands through acquisitions in the two countries for a total of 62.6 million EUR;
- Proactive management of its office space portfolio with the completion of the conversion of two office buildings into apartments, the signature of an agreement for the conversion of a third building into a nursing home and the management of a number of office building renovation projects;
- The strengthening of its debt structure via a private bond placement of 190 million EUR and the renewal of a number of lines of credit for a total of 297 million EUR.
The net current result (excluding IAS 39 impact) – Group share stood at 63.0 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to 61.0 million EUR at 30.06.2014, i.e. an improvement of 3 %. Per share, these numbers are 3.35 EUR at 30.06.2015 and 3.39 EUR at 30.06.2014. The current cash flow – Group share amounted to 57.4 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to 49.3 million EUR at 30.06.2014, i.e. an increase of 16 %. Per share, these numbers are 3.06 EUR at 30.06.2015 and 2.74 EUR at 30.06.2014. The net result stood at 57.1 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to -61.5 million EUR at 30.06.2014. This is equivalent to 3.04 EUR per share at 30.06.2015 and -3.42 EUR per share at 30.06.2014.
As a result of the capital increase that occurred in May, the 2015 net current result forecast of 6.85 EUR per share, published with the annual results on 06.02.2015 and in the 2014 Annual Financial Report, has been reviewed. Due to the increased number of outstanding shares, the forecast now stands at 6.26 EUR per share1 . The forecast for the dividend for the 2015 financial year published in the 2014 Annual Financial Report is maintained. It stands at 5.50 EUR gross (4.125 EUR net2 ) per ordinary share.
1 The forecast would have stood at 5.93 EUR per share if the 3,004,318 new shares issued in May 2015 had been entitled to share in the result of the period as from 01.05.2015, instead of 12.05.2015.

Sale of six cafés/restaurants from the Pubstone portfolio for 0.9 million EUR
During the first half of 2015 the Cofinimmo Group sold six cafés/restaurants from the Pubstone portfolio for a total of 0.9 million EUR. An average gain of 14.6 % was made on the sales, compared to the assets investment value on 31.12.2014.
Note that the lease binding the Cofinimmo Group and AB InBev for the Pubstone portfolio allows the tenant to leave up to 1.75 % of cafés/restaurants in the portfolio on an annual basis as of the seventh year of the lease (i.e. starting in November 2013). The brewing group has terminated the leases of 27 cafés/restaurants since the end of 2013. Of the 27 cafés/restaurants, 18 have been sold.
Since the acquisition of the Pubstone portfolio at the end of 2007, 37 of the 1,068 cafés/restaurants have been sold. The average gain realised on the sales was 26.4 % compared to the last investment value as determined by the independent real estate expert.

On 20.01.2015, the Cofinimmo Group sold an insurance agency from the Cofinimur I portfolio for 0.1 million EUR, in line with the asset investment value as determined by the independent real estate expert.
As a reminder, at the time of the acquisition of the Cofinimur I portfolio by Cofinimmo at the end of 2011, five of the 265 agencies acquired were vacant and five others were subject to a one-year tenancy-at-will1 . As of 30.06.2015, eight of the ten at-risk assets had been sold. The average gain realised on the sales was 4.5 % of the last investment value of the asset as determined by the independent real estate expert.

1.4. Financial resources management
1.4.1. Financing
Capital increase with preferential subscription rights for 285.4 million EUR
On 22.04.2015, Cofinimmo initiated a capital increase with preferential subscription rights for a gross amount of 285.4 million EUR with the objective of (i) financing its fixed investment programme for the 2015-2017 period (in the amount of 250 million EUR) and (ii) improving its balance sheet structure in order to pursue its growth within the context of the strategic priorities the Group set for itself.
Cofinimmo issued 3,004,318 new shares on 12.05.2015 at a subscription price of 95.00 EUR, i.e. 285.4 million EUR. The new shares were immediately accepted for listing and provide rights to a prorata temporis dividend as of 12.05.2015.
Following this transaction, the forecast of a net current result of 6.85 EUR per share for the full 2015 financial year, published in the annual results on 06.02.2015 and in the 2014 Annual Financial Report was revised. Given the issue of 3,004,318 new shares entitled to share in the result of the period as from 12.05.2015 and the temporary reduction in financial expenses following the partial repayment of drawdowns on bank credit lines, the forecast is now 6.26 EUR per share1 . The forecast for the dividend for the 2015 financial year published in the 2014 Annual Financial Report is maintained. It is 5.50 EUR gross (4.125 EUR net2 ) per ordinary share.
Private placement of bonds for 190 million EUR
At the end of March 2015, Cofinimmo successfully completed a private bond placement for a period of seven years in the amount of 190 million EUR with a fixed coupon of 1.929 %. Taking into account a small issuance premium the average yield of the private placement is 1.92 %.
The bonds were placed with a limited number of Belgian and European institutional investors. They are listed on Alternext Brussels.
Extension of several credit lines in the total amount of 297 million EUR
Cofinimmo extended three credit lines in January 2015:
- A line of 50 million EUR, maturing in 2018, was extended for five years;
- A line of 55 million EUR and another line of 7 million EUR, maturing in 2016, were extended for seven years.
Additional lines were extended in March 2015:
- A line of 30 million EUR, maturing in March 2015, was extended for six years;
- A line of 30 million EUR, maturing in March 2015, was extended for seven years;
- A line of 55 million EUR, maturing in October 2015, was extended for five years (effective November 2015);

1.9. Corporate governance
With respect to corporate governance, Cofinimmo seeks to maintain the highest standards and continuously reassesses its methods in relation to the principles, practices and requirements of the field. Cofinimmo's corporate governance practice is fully compliant with the related Belgian Code1 .
A detailed description of the various Committees and their respective roles and members is available in the 'Corporate Governance Statement' chapter of the 2014 Annual Financial Report.
The Ordinary General Meeting of 13.05.2015 appointed Mr Jérôme Descamps as Director, effective immediately, until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting scheduled for 2019.
The same General Meeting appointed as Director, effective immediately, Mrs Kathleen Van den Eynde, until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting scheduled for 2019. It recorded her independent status in accordance with Article 526ter of the Company Code, as long as she complies with all of the criteria stipulated in the article.
Lastly, the Ordinary General Meeting of 13.05.2015 renewed the Director mandate of Mr Xavier Denis, effective immediately, until the end of the Ordinary General Meeting scheduled for 2019.
1.10. Sustainable development and management policy
On 30.04.2015, for the first time, Cofinimmo published a sustainable development report separate from the Annual Financial Report based on GRI G4 guidelines2 . The report describes all aspects of its environmental strategy as well as the materiality matrix and the most significant Social Corporate Responsibility challenges resulting from the proactive dialogue the company initiated with its stakeholders.
PRESS RELEASE
At the same time, Cofinimmo also published figures for its electricity, gas and water consumption and waste using the performance indicators recommended by EPRA3 . The data are collected and integrated using a special software application. They cover the surface areas used for office space and, for the first time, a sample of the surface areas used for healthcare real estate.
Two projects were delivered in the healthcare real estate segment in Belgium in the first half of 2015. They were the extension of the Den Brem nursing home in Rijkevorsel and the renovation of Maison Saint-Ignace in Brussels. Special care was taken with the thermal quality of the building shells which led to a considerable improvement in the energy performance of the establishments.

1.11. Risk management
The main risks to which Cofinimmo is exposed in its activities are described below. For a more detailed description of risk management, please refer to pages 2 to 7 of the 2014 Annual Financial Report.
PRESS RELEASE
Risks associated with the economic climate
Cofinimmo's activities are partially linked to the overall economy. Slowing economic growth indirectly impacts the private sector office occupancy rate as well as rents. It can also increase the risk of tenant default.
However, the impact on Cofinimmo's results is lessened by the length of the lease contracts (at 30.06.2015, the average length to the first break option was 11.1 years for the portfolio overall), the diversification of its tenant portfolio (396 clients) and the fact that nearly 25 % of its office space tenants are in the public sector. Thanks to its diversification into less cyclical sectors such as healthcare real estate and sale and lease back transactions with AB InBev and MAAF, the portfolio is less sensitive to the overall economic environment.
Vacancy risk
The Brussels office market has been faced with significant rates of rental vacancy for the past seven years or so. On 30.06.2015, the percentage of rental vacancies in Brussels was 10.1 % (source: DTZ). Cofinimmo's office portfolio vacancy rate was 9.2 % as of 30.06.2015. Cofinimmo actively manages its customers to limit vacancy and tenant turnover in the office segment. An internal team is responsible for property management and with quickly resolving tenant complaints. The sales team maintains regular contact with existing customers and actively prospects new tenants.
Healthcare real estate is leased for the long term with an initial period of 12 years in France, 15 years in the Netherlands, 25 or 30 years in Germany and 27 years in Belgium. As of 30.06.2015, the average residual lease length was 5.6 years in France, 13.4 years in the Netherlands, 20.5 in Belgium and 29.0 in Germany.
As of 30.06.2015, 99.0 % of cafés/restaurants were leased to AB InBev for an average minimum residual lease period of 15.3 years. Moreover, 96.5 % of insurance agencies were leased to MAAF or GMF for an average residual lease period of 6.8 years.
Risk of tenant insolvency
Cofinimmo is exposed to the risk of tenant default. As of 30.06.2015, the five most important clients accounted for 50.1 % of its rental income. Of the top three most important office tenants, two are in the public sector.
An advance deposit or bank guarantee of six months'rent is usually required from non-public sector tenants.
Investment and development risk
Cofinimmo does limited development for its own account with a ceiling of no more than 10 % maximum of the fair value of the portfolio.
PRESS RELEASE
When reviewing investment projects, Cofinimmo makes a number of estimates with respect to economic, market and other conditions, including estimates of the value or potential value of the real estate asset and its potential return on investment. The estimates may be incorrect, which would make the Cofinimmo investment policy unsuitable, resulting in negative consequences for Cofinimmo's income, its operating results, its financial conditions and its prospects.
Prior to acquiring a building, Cofinimmo first carries out an internal evaluation to determine a price for the building with a view to its long-term operation. In addition, an independent real estate expert assesses each real estate asset acquisition or sale.
Risk related to the deterioration of buildings and major renovations
Cofinimmo regularly maintains and renovates its buildings to ensure that they remain attractive for tenants. The current trend toward increased durability and energy savings in both construction and building use can require additional investment.
Risk associated with changes in the fair value of buildings
Cofinimmo's real estate portfolio is valued quarterly by independent real estate experts. A change of 1 % in the value of the real estate assets would have an impact of approximately 32.7 million EUR on the net result and of 1.56 EUR on the intrinsic value per share. It would also have an impact of about 0.50 % on the debt ratio.
Liquidity and financing risk
Diversified sources of financing, a stable and extensive bank pool with high financial ratings (Cofinimmo has ten banking partners) and a balanced allocation of loan maturities staggered over time enable Cofinimmo to obtain the most favourable financial conditions.
Cofinimmo's ability to borrow is also limited by the maximum debt ratio allowed by regulations governing RRECs (65 %) and by the limit agreed with its bankers for the credit documents related to the ratio (60 %). On 30.06.2015, the consolidated regulatory debt ratio was 43.5 %.
Cofinimmo has a medium-term financial plan which is reviewed in full every spring and updated during the year with each significant new acquisition or sale of real estate assets. The purpose of the plan is to position Cofinimmo's consolidated regulatory debt ratio at a suitable level based on an assessment by the Board of Directors of the risks inherent to the assets and the current portfolio of leases.
Interest rate risk
REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 31.07.2015, 07:40 AM CET
Cofinimmo obtains a significant portion of its financial debt at a floating interest rate. Derivative instruments are used to hedge financing and related costs against rate increases and ensure that interest rates remain within a given margin between a minimum and maximum rate. The instruments include Interest Rate Swaps and CAP options partially financed by the subscription of FLOOR options.
Given existing hedging mechanisms and a constant level of debt, an increase or decrease in interest rates of 0.50 % would not entail any significant change in finance charges for the current year.
The interest-rate derivative instruments are assessed at market value at the end of each quarter. Future changes in rates will therefore have an impact on net asset value and the result of the financial period.
1.12. Events occurring after 30.06.2015
In July 2015 the following credit lines maturing within the year have been extended:
- A line of 40 million EUR was extended for five years;
- A line of 50 million EUR was extended for seven years;
- A line of 62 million EUR was extended for seven years;
With these refinancings, the average debt maturity stands at 5.0 years.
No other major events occurred between 30.06.2015 and the date of publication of this press release.
2. Summary financial statements
The summary financial statements were prepared using accounting methods that comply with IFRS standards and the IAS 34 standard for interim financial reporting, in particular.
PRESS RELEASE
The accounting principles and methods used for the preparation of the interim financial statements are identical to those used for the annual financial statements for financial year 2014 except for the recognition of transfer taxes and the property taxes.
- Recognition of transfer taxes:
According to the accounting method used until 2014, when an acquisition or investment was made, the transfer taxes applied to a later, theoretical sale were directly entered in shareholders' equity. Any change in the fair value of the properties during the financial year was recognised in the income statement. Since 01.01.2015, transfer taxes on acquisitions and investments, and any variation in the fair value of the properties during the financial year, are immediately recognised in the income statement1 . Cofinimmo opted for this change in accounting method in order to (i) simplify the accounting method for recognizing transfer taxes and (ii) to align itself with the practices of other REIT (Real Estate Investment Trusts) in Belgium and other countries.
- Recognition of property taxes:
According to the accounting method used until 2014, when an acquisition or investment was made, the property taxes were recognized pro rata temporis in the interim statements. Since 2015, the property taxes of the year are entirely recognised on January 1st of the current year2 in application of IFRIC 21 standard related to the recognition date for levies. It will no longer be deferred progressively in the interim statement unless the obligating event itself occurs over a period of time.
For Cofinimmo the impact of this standard primarily concerns the property taxes that cannot be charged back to tenants. It will not have any impact on the annual financial statements, but will modify the schedule for recognizing the rental margin in interim publications.
1 The transfer taxes recognized before 01.01.2015 using the old method will not be restated.
2 The figures published in this Half-Year Financial Report, have not been restated taking into account the IFRIC 21 standard. However appendices 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 of this Financial Report include the restated figures as of 30.06.2014, taking into account the IFRIC 21 standard.

Comments on the consolidated income statement – Analytical form
Net rental income was 99.6 million EUR at 30.06.2015, up compared to 30.06.2014 (97.4 million EUR). The 'Writeback of lease payments sold and discounted' item decreased from 11.3 million EUR at 30.06.2014 to 5.1 million EUR at 30.06.2015, primarily as a result of the sale of the North Galaxy office building at 12.05.2014. The property result was 101.2 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to 106.4 million EUR at 30.06.2014, i.e. a decrease of 4.9 %.
The increase in the item taxes and charges on rented properties not recovered was due to the application of the IFRIC 21 standard which requires that property taxes be recognized on 1 January of the year in progress. By applying this standard on 30.06.2014, the property result would have stood at 105.2 million EUR at this date.

PRESS RELEASE
Direct and indirect operating costs represented 0.80 % of the average value of the portfolio assets under management at 30.06.2015, compared to 0.85 % at 31.12.2014. The operating result (before result on the portfolio) was 86.3 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to 90.3 million EUR one year earlier. By applying the IFRIC 21 standard on 30.06.2014, the operating result (before result on portfolio) would have stood at 88.4 million EUR at this date.
The financial result (excluding IAS 39 impact) was -18.5 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to -27.7 million EUR at 30.06.2014. The average cost of debt decreased from 3.7 % at 30.06.2014 to 2.8 % at 30.06.2015, namely as a result of the cancellation of FLOOR options in January 2015 and refinancing at favourable conditions. The average debt level was 1,526.4 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to 1,632.0 million EUR at 30.06.2014.
The 'Revaluation of financial instruments' item was 1.4 million EUR at 30.06.2015. It includes the costs related to the restructuring of hedging instruments and the impact of the revaluation of financial instruments in the amount of 9.6 million EUR as well as the effect of the revaluation of convertible bonds in the amount of -8.2 million EUR.
The net current result - Group share was 64.1 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to -39.7 million EUR at 30.06.2014. Per share, these figures stood at 3.42 EUR at 30.06.2015 and -2.21 EUR at 30.06.2014. By applying the IFRIC 21 standard on 30.06.2014, the net current result - Group share would have stood at - 42.0 million EUR, i.e. -2.34 EUR per share.
Within the result on the portfolio, the realised gains or losses on disposals of investment properties and other non-financial assets was 2.0 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to -22.2 million EUR at 30.06.2014
The change in the fair value of investment properties was -8.7 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to -0.6 million EUR at 30.06.2014. The decrease in value of office buildings to be renovated in the short term was partially offset by an increase in the value of healthcare assets. On a like-for-like basis, the fair value of investment properties decreased slightly since 31.12.2014 (-0.3 %).
The net result - Group share was 57.1 million EUR at 30.06.2015, compared to -61.5 million EUR at 30.06.2014. Per share, these figures stand at 3.04 EUR at 30.06.2015 and -3.42 EUR at 30.06.2014. By applying the IFRIC 21 standard on 30.06.2014, the net result - Group share would have stood at -63.8 million EUR, i.e. -3.55 EUR per share.

PRESS RELEASE
2.7. Notes to the consolidated accounts
Note 1. General information
Cofinimmo SA/NV (the 'Company') is a public RREC (Regulated Real Estate Company) organized under Belgian law with registered offices at 1200 BRUSSELS (boulevard de la Woluwe/Woluwedal 58).
Cofinimmo SA/NV's consolidated half-year statements, which closed on 30.06.2015, cover the Company and its subsidiaries ('the Group'). The scope of consolidation has changed since 31.12.2014 (see Note 14).
The half-year consolidated financial statements were closed by the Board of Directors on 30.07.2015. The statutory auditor Deloitte, Reviseurs d'Entreprises, represented by Mr Frank Verhaegen, completed their limited audit and confirmed that they had no reservations with respect to the accounting information presented in the half-year financial report and that it corresponded to the financial statements closed by the Board of Directors.
Note 2. Significant accounting methods
The consolidated half-year financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS standards (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted in the European Union and in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard.
The accounting principles and methods used for the preparation of the interim financial statements are identical to those used for the annual financial statements for financial year 2014 except for the recognition of transfer taxes and the property taxes.
- Recognition of transfer taxes:
According to the accounting method used until 2014, when an acquisition or investment was made, the transfer taxes applied to a later, theoretical sale were directly entered in shareholders' equity. Any change in the fair value of the properties during the financial year was recognised in the income statement. Since 01.01.2015, transfer taxes on acquisitions and investments, and any variation in the fair value of the properties during the financial year, are immediately recognised in the income statement1 . Cofinimmo opted for this change in accounting method in order to (i) simplify the accounting method for recognizing transfer taxes and (ii) to align itself with the practices of other REIT (Real Estate Investment Trusts) in Belgium and other countries.
- Recognition of property taxes:
According to the accounting method used until 2014, when an acquisition or investment was made, the property taxes were recognized in the interim statements pro rata temporis during the financial year. Since 2015, the property taxes of the year are entirely recognised on January 1st of the current year2 in application of IFRIC 21 standard related to the recognition date for levies. It will no longer be deferred progressively in the interim statement unless the obligating event itself occurs over a period of time.
1 The transfer taxes recognized before 01.01.2015 using the old method will not be treated again.
2 The figures published in this Half-Year Financial Report, have not been restated to take into account the impact of the IFRIC 21 standard. However appendices 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 of this Financial Report include the restated figures as of 30.06.2014, taking into account the IFRIC 21 standard.
PRESS RELEASE
For Cofinimmo the impact of this standard primarily concerns the property taxes that cannot be charged back to tenants. It will not have any impact on the annual financial statements, but will modify the schedule for recognizing the rental margin in interim publications.
Some of the figures in this half-year financial report have been rounded and, consequently, the overall totals in the report may differ slightly from the exact arithmetical sums of the preceding figures.
Note 3. Operational and financial risk management
The risks to which the Group was exposed at 30.06.15 were substantially the same as those identified and described in the 2014 Annual Financial Report. Risk was managed using the same methods and the same criteria during the half-year as during the previous financial year.

PRESS RELEASE
Categories of financial instruments
Fair value is estimated:
- At book value for trade receivables and debt, loans and variable rate loans and debt;
- Based on future cash flows discounted at adapted market rates for lease-finance receivables;
- By reference to a price quoted on an active market for listed bonds (retail bonds and private placements).
Financial instruments designated as being at fair value through the net result
The financial instruments that are valued, subsequent to initial recognition, at fair value on the balance sheet, are grouped in three levels (1 to 3), based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for similar assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from data other than quoted prices included in level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. data derived from prices);
- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include data for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable data).
Level 1
Convertible bonds issued by Cofinimmo are level 1.
Level 2
The financial assets and liabilities as well as the financial derivatives owned at fair value by Cofinimmo are all level 2, except for the convertible bonds issued by Cofinimmo, which are level 1.
Their fair value is established as follows:
-
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
-
The fair value of the assets and liabilities with standard terms and conditions and which are traded on active and liquid markets is established based on stock market prices.
- Fair value of participations in associated companies and joint ventures
- Fair value is determined based on the share in the associated company of which all the assets are valued at their fair value.
- Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments
- The fair value of derivative instruments is calculated based on stock market prices. When such prices are not available, analyses of discounted cash flows based on the applicable yield curve with respect to the duration of the instruments are used in the case of non-optional derivatives, and option evaluation models are used in the case of optional derivatives. Interest rate swaps are evaluated according to the discounted value of estimated and discounted cash flows in accordance with the applicable yield curves obtained on the basis of the market interest rates.
Level 3
Cofinimmo does not currently hold any level 3 financial instruments.
There were no asset transfers between the different fair value categories.
A description of financial risks is available in chapter '1.11. Risk management' of this Half-Year Financial Report.

Cofinimmo SA/NV
Report on review of the consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2015
To the board of directors
In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the consolidated interim financial information. This consolidated interim financial information comprises the consolidated condensed balance sheet as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated condensed statement of changes in equity and the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the period of six months then ended, as well as selective notes 1 to 15.
Report on the consolidated interim financial information
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information of Cofinimmo SA/NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as executed by the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 with respect to public regulated real estate companies and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
The consolidated condensed balance sheet shows total assets of 3,570 million EUR and the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income shows a consolidated profit (group share) for the period then ended of 57 million EUR.
The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as executed by the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 with respect to public regulated real estate companies and in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 – Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial information.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information of Cofinimmo SA/NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as executed by the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 with respect to public regulated real estate companies and in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
Diegem, 30 July 2015
The statutory auditor
