Foreword
- ➔ Over EUR 1 billion invested in 2007
- ➔ Real estate holdings increased to EUR 2.2 billion
- ➔ Earnings increased to EUR 24.0 million
Dear Shareholders, Business Partners, Employees and Friends,
at present, we are seeing real estate markets go through an exciting period. This is marked by realignment and consolidation. Greater employment of equity capital and bigger financing hurdles are the outwardly visible signs.
Consequently there have been some new framework conditions of key success factors for our business.
Success factor number one is the quality of real estate. It ensures high rental yields and attractive sale prices. Success factor number two is professional real estate and asset management. And success factor number three is attractive cash flow from property leasing. Whoeversucceedsin combining these successfactors in the best possible manner will be able to continue offering an above-average return on their shares in the future.
To this end, DIC Asset AG has already set the course with its business policy:
- Professional and future-orientated asset management is now the most important requirement for exploiting opportunities on the investment market. We recognised this development and positioned ourselves on a broad basis by strategically developing DIC ONSITE at an early stage. We now have an internal established property and asset management company with central locations in key areas relevant to our portfolio and the real estate market. We can use our own expertise to optimise our real estate rapidly and efficiently, both locally at the property and in a tenant-proximate fashion.
- The increasingly dynamic rental market, combined with this strategic approach, offers excellent opportunities for leasing and enhancing property values. In the first three quarters of 2007, DIC ONSITE has already enabled us to achieve excellent rental results with 93,000 sqm. We shall continue this success in the fourth quarter and build on it further in 2008.
- After the huge "wave" of investors, who were driven strongly by borrowed capital, buyers are returning and are deploying their own funds to a greater extent. First-rate real estate and properties on long-term leases remain in demand. We are using thisto enable usto provide attractive conditionsfor our own value creation with well-targeted sales.
The results from the first nine months clearly show our success and growth: consolidated net profit stands at EUR 24.0 million, EUR 17.6 million up on 2006. So far in 2007, we have invested more than EUR 1 billion in new real estate, with the latest being 15 commercial properties purchased in October from AXA und DBV Winterthur. We have sold 27 properties for EUR 174 million in total.
Ultimately, following completion of a substantial redevelopment in the shape of the new Frankfurt city library, we have been able to hand over an impressive and much loved property for the use of general public of Frankfurt.
From the present perspective, 2007 as a whole will be as successful as expected. We are currently preparing for the sale of several properties, which should be completed before the end of the year. Against this background, we are maintaining our halfyear forecast and continue to anticipate a consolidated net profit of between EUR 36 and 38 million for 2007.
Frankfurt, November 2007

Interim Group Management Report: Portfolio Performance
Good general economic conditions
Development of Germany's economic position has been positive in the first nine months of the financial year, thus proving its resilience. The Federal government anticipates that gross domestic product will grow by 2.4% in 2007 and 2.0% in 2008. The situation on the labour market has improved increasingly during the course of the year. This is evidenced by higher disposable income even in the case of private consumption. The uncertainty prevailing on international financial markets in the recent months, triggered by the US subprime mortgage crisis, has thus far had no discernible impact on the national economy. Leading indicators such as the ifo business climate index currently display a further positive underlying sentiment, with a slight decline in optimism for the course of the rest of the financial year.
Liquidity squeeze curbs investment activity
The effects of the financial market crisis have been reflected in the commercial real estate investment sector. In the third quarter, scheduled transactions were delayed or completely cancelled as a result of the distinctly more reluctant stance adopted towardsthe provision of credit. Regardless of this, record sales of around EUR 44 billion were achieved with commercial property in the first nine months of the year, according to experts at Jones Lang LaSalle. This result is 20% more than the total for last year.
As a result of the positive economic conditions, the situation on the rental markets has improved markedly. The creation of jobs by companies ensured an increased requirement for space, with vacant space in office strongholds falling further, as reported by analysts at CB Richard Ellis. According to a report by Jones Lang LaSalle, compared with the same period last year, sales of office space in the five major office locations increased by approximately one third to 2.1 million sqm in the first three quarters of 2007.
Growth amid general market caution
DIC Asset AG manages commercial real estate across Germany with a value in excess of EUR 3 billion. By pursuing itsinvestment strategy and active portfolio management, it preserves and increases the value of its portfolio, which is classified according to opportunity and risk criteria into the three segments of Core, Value-Added and Opportunistic Co-Investments.
Despite changes in general conditions and general uncertainty in the market, DIC Asset AG acquired eight first-rate commercial properties worth EUR 155 million and eliminated non-strategic
components from its portfolio. Greater rental income and profits from sales increased the result to more than EUR 24.0 million.
As the new Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dr. Jürgen Schäfer accounts for the operating business since October 2007. His responsibilities focus on the management and further expansion of the strategically important business area of property and asset management, inter alia by controlling the activities of DIC ONSITE. In its capacity as an asset manager, DIC ONSITE looks after DIC Asset AG's diversified real estate portfolio throughout Germany from five locations.
Growth in the Core segment
In July 2007, DIC Asset AG purchased a portfolio of eight commercial properties of around 50,000 sqm (V6A portfolio) via two off-market transactions. This includes some striking and attractive office buildings, such as the "Rheinwerk" on the banks of the Rhine in Bonn, "SILO" and "ECR" in Cologne's Rheinau harbour and AOK's headquarters in Neubrandenburg. The total investment volume stands at EUR 155 million, with a rental yield of 5.9%. The properties were purchased for the Core segment and offer a stable and attractive cash flow for the long-term.
Since the start of 2007, DIC Asset AG has thus made acquisitions totalling EUR 1.4 billion or has been involved as co-investor with minority interests. Around EUR 1.03 billion comes directly from DIC Asset AG investments.
Ongoing implementation of the sales strategy
The sale of a package including 353 homes was agreed in July 2007. As well as creating value, this transaction is enabling DIC Asset AG to eliminate residential properties from its portfolio that do not form part of the company's strategic core business. This means that the proportion in the overall portfolio falls to below 3% following the transaction. The sale of the properties in Mainz, Wiesbaden and Oberursel generated revenue of around EUR 19.5 million.
Agrippinawerft Cologne, SILO and ECR (V6A portfolio)
In the 2007 financial year, DIC Asset AG sold a total of 27 properties with a surface area of 110,000 sqm for EUR 174 million. The sale of the Mustang portfolio with 10 properties and sales revenue of around EUR 85 million represents the lion's share of these transactions.
Refurbishment of the Frankfurt city library completed
In July 2007, the refurbishment of Frankfurt's central city library was completed as planned. Extensive redevelopment work was carried out in order to structure the space left vacant by what was previously a bank so asto suit the requirements of a modern library operation and centre of communication. The sales volume came to EUR 24.7 million. This redevelopment and its considerable value creation is an excellent example of how to revitalise a 1950s building for modern-day use and is the result of successful cooperation between DIC Asset AG and the City of Frankfurt.
Starting signal for the redevelopment of the Bienenkorbhaus
Extensive construction work began in September on the redevelopment of the well-known Bienenkorbhaus ("Beehive Building") on the Zeil in Frankfurt. The development, with an investment volume of some EUR 65 million, should be completed by the end of 2008. As well as being equipped with a modern infrastructure, the 43 metre-high building is also being extended with a six-floor annex. The anchor tenant, Ludwig Görtz GmbH, will open a 2,400 sqm flagship store there at the end of 2008.
Leasing is up
A key element of DIC Asset AG's value creation strategy is the long-term new leasing and re-leasing of space and the optimisation of lease agreements. In the third quarter, around 24,000 sqm were leased. This corresponds to an annual gross rental income of around EUR 3 million. As at 30 September 2007, the letting rate stood at 89%. Since the start of 2007, DIC Asset AG has granted new leases for around 93,000 square metres in total.

Presence in Hamburg has increased
DIC Asset AG has increased its presence and opened a new branch office in Hamburg. Following the Primo3 and Helena portfolio transactions in particular, it now manages more than 75 commercial properties with a total area measuring 360,000 sqm in the greater Hamburg area. As well as active property and asset management for DIC ONSITE, the company has been working locally on several project development measures, including work on the "Opera Offices" project in Hamburg's Große Theaterstraße/Dammtorstraße area. This accommodation previously used for administration purposes by the Hamburg Opera should see the creation of a new site comprising office and retail accommodation.

Financial Position and Results of Operations
Threefold increase in rental income
Compared with the first nine months of 2006, rental income has increased by around EUR 43.8 million (+213%) to EUR 64.4 million, due in particular to the growth in the portfolio as a result of acquisitions. Total income rose by EUR 138.9 million (487%) to EUR 167.4 million, the main drivers among the portfolio growth being the increased revenues from the sale of real estate.
The strategic focus of DIC Asset AG is on the commercial property sector. 67% of rental income comes from office lets, 12% from retail space accommodation, around 18% from other commercial premises and parking areas, and 3% from residential areas.
Growth increases expenses
Expense items increased as a result of portfolio expansion. Personnel and administration costs thus increased as a result of economies of scale, albeit at a disproportionately low rate to the growth of rental income. Financing costs clearly exceed those for the same period last year, due principally to the sharp increase in the volume of financing and the generally higher rate of interest. Total expenses increased overall, particularly following the deduction of net carrying amounts as a result of the sale of real estate, by EUR 95.0 million to EUR 111.4 million.
Funds from operations increased
Funds from operations (FFO) before depreciation, amortisation, taxes and gains from disposals and redevelopment projects rose by EUR 17.1 million (+139%) to EUR 29.4 million. In relation to the trend in rental income, the rise was disproportionately low due to the higher financing costs. FFO per share was EUR 1.03 (previous year: EUR 0.78).
Increased sales volumes – greater profit
In the first nine months of the financial year, property sales were made to the tune of EUR 91.2 million. As a result, DIC Asset AG made a profit of EUR 13.4 million, with the return amounting to 14.7%. Last year profit from the sale of real estate amounted to EUR 0.5 million. The development project for the central library in Frankfurt was completed and has contributed EUR 0.9 million to the result.
Distinct improvement in earnings measures
EBITDA and EBIT rose sharply in the first nine months. EBITDA increased by EUR 53.2 million (+320%) to EUR 69.8 million, EBIT increased by EUR 43.9 million (+363%) to EUR 56.0 million. Earnings before tax and depreciation (EBTDA) rose by EUR 30.6 million (+234%) to EUR 43.7 million.
24.0
Q1-Q3 2007
Profit for the period up 275%
Profit for the period rose in the first nine months of 2007 to around EUR 24.0 million, partly as a result of the portfolio expansion and the increased profits from the sale of real estate. An increase of EUR 17.6 million (+275%) has been achieved compared with the same period last year. Earnings per share were more than doubled to EUR 0.83 (previous year: EUR 0.39).
The increase in the negative financial result, of EUR 24.5 million to EUR -28.7 million, was due to the higher volume of financing and increased interest charges. The Opportunistic Co-Investments segment continues to make a pleasing impact on earnings. The expanded activities are shown in the position "Share of the profits of associates", which climbed EUR 2.0 million to EUR 2.6 million.
Non-current assets increased
The non-current assets of DIC Asset AG rose by EUR 396.1 million (+36%) to EUR 1,503.3 million on the back of the portfolio acquisitions Odin and V6A. Following the sales, current assets increased by EUR 29.9 million (+13%) to EUR 266.4 million due to greater cash inflow and receivables. As a result, DIC Asset AG's total assets rose by EUR 426.0 million (+32%) to EUR 1,769.7 million overall compared with the same figure at the end of 2006.
Equity ratio at 31%
On 30 September 2007, equity stood at EUR 540.6 million which is slightly above the figure recorded at the end of 2006. At 30.5%, the equity ratio is lower than at the end of the year, due to investments. Non-current liabilities rose by EUR 409.2 million (+54%) to EUR 1,169.3 million as a result of borrowing to finance investments during the first nine months. Current liabilities increased by EUR 10.2 million (+21%) to EUR 59.8 million.
Liquidity available to exploit short-term opportunities
As at 30 September 2007, net liquidity (liquid assets after deduction of current financial liabilities) stood at EUR 178.1 million.
Long-term hedging of interest rate level
The majority of DIC Asset AG's liabilities are hedged over a longterm horizon, partly by using derivative financial instruments. As a result, the individual business plans of the investments are still sustainable over the long term and remain attractive even when the level of interest rates is rising. As at 30 September 2007, the average interest rate on the Group's liabilities was 5.13%.

Profit overview Balance sheet structure in %
Increased earnings power
Investments are steadily increasing the portfolio's earnings power. The cash flow from operating activities increased by EUR 9.2 million (+69%) to EUR 22.5 million during the first nine months of 2007. At EUR -398.7 million, the net outflow of funds from investing activities was around EUR 357.0 million less than in the previous year. Cash flow from financing activities fell by EUR 335.9 million to EUR 395.3 million due to fewer liabilities incurred for financing purposes. As at 30 September 2007, DIC Asset AG's cash and cash equivalents came to EUR 198.8 million (previous year: EUR 28.0 million).
Staff
As at 30 September 2007, DIC Asset AG employed 69 members of staff at five locations. Last year, prior to the acquisition and integration of DIC ONSITE, the number of employeesstood at 12.

Material Events after the Balance Sheet Date
In October 2007, a portfolio was purchased from the insurance companies AXA Group Germany and DBV Winterthur with an area of 182,000 sqm for EUR 320 million (Dolphin portfolio). Most of the 15 properties are located in the Rhine-Main area, in Duesseldorf, Berlin and Munich. The rental area is 94% leased and has an average lease period of around six years.
The DIC Group and the City of Frankfurt have reached agreement on the redevelopment plans for the Degussa site in early November. The previously enclosed office site will be transformed into an open and modern ensemble right at the heart of Frankfurt. The redevelopment project is based on the plans that were presented in spring. In the meantime, DIC has worked on improving these plans together with city officials. Initial construction work is already planned for the second half of 2008.
Risks, Opportunities and Expected Developments
Risks
Our basic views on the development of industry, the economy and the Company, and thus the opportunities and risks facing the Company, have not changed significantly compared to those outlined in the Annual Report. For a detailed account, please refer to the Risk Report and Forecast on pages 43ff of the Annual Report.
Opportunities and forecast
The basic economic conditions have not changed fundamentally. The economy appears to be robust, even interest rate rises and effects of the credit crisis on international financial markets have so far had no significant negative impact. However, the consequences of these developments have been felt within the real estate sector, with the investment market hurtling from one record to the next experiencing a slowdown for the first time. Investment processes have been delayed on account of the caution and uncertainty amongst banks and market players, and in some cases have been completely cancelled. As regards borrowing, greater use had to be made of equity capital since mid-2007 and/or an increased risk premium was incurred.
We anticipate a normalisation of the investment market not until 2008, with conditions having changed. In future, the objective for investments will lie more in the increase of rental income and the reduction of vacancy rates. The importance of asset management will therefore grow. DIC Asset AG is extremely wellplaced in this respect.
As a result of the positive economic situation, the prospects on the leasing market continue to improve, with vacancy rates falling: for the five central office locations, analysts at Jones Lang LaSalle are anticipating a record year, with, for example, up to 2.7 million sqm leased, which is significantly more than last year. For 2007, we anticipate leasing up to 130,000 sqm for the entire portfolio.
Investment planning remains in place
For the next 12 to 15 months we shall continue to pursue our acquisition target of up to EUR 1 billion. We assume that the caution currently being exercised on investment marketsis of a temporary nature. In addition, and in a changed environment in particular, attractive deals can be struck, as demonstrated by our purchase of the Dolphin portfolio from AXA and DBV Winterthur in October. In line with our strategy, we shall invest in first-rate properties leased over the long-term with high cash flow and in real estate with attractive value-added potential.
Sales subject to a slight delay
The present market situation at the time has eroded some financial commitments for some of our interests. Scheduled sales processes were slightly delayed; we made partial changes to offers as regards the structuring of packages and sales volume. However, despite these market-related delays, we are anticipating complete fulfilment of our sales budget by the end of the year based on financial markets coming back to normal activities.
Profit forecasts unchanged
In July 2007, we increased our forecast for 2007 as a whole. Based on our current sale activities, we continue to expect earnings after depreciation, amortisation and taxes of between EUR 36 and 38 million.

The Share
Real estate shares in the wake of the US mortgage crisis
Although the DAX (+19.1%) and SDAX (+3.0%) have shown volatility recently as a result of uncertainty on the financial markets, they were generally successful during the first nine months of the financial year. In the third quarter of 2007 especially, most real estate stocks were unable to escape the negative effects of the mortgage crisis amongst American mortgage lenders. The EPRA/NAREIT Europe index, which replicates the price trend of the largest European real estate shares has clearly felt the impact, falling by 20.1%. In actual fact, commercial real estate companies have nothing to do with the business conducted by US mortgage lenders. However, as a result of uncertainty on the financial markets together with a general reassessment of risk and greater reluctance to provide credit, most real estate stocks have been adversely affected across the board.
Despite itssuccessful business activity and good news, DIC Asset AG was also not able to buck the trend. Until 30 September 2007, the share has fallen by 19.6% since the start of the year. We are convinced that the success of DIC Asset AG will also be reflected in the price trend.

Listing on the EPRA index
In September, the DIC Asset AG share was listed on the renowned FTSE EPRA/NAREIT index. The EPRA index is one of the world's most relevant real estate indices and shows the price movements of the world's largest real estate companies via various index categories. As well as being listed on the EPRA index, DIC Asset AG also appears on the GPR 250.
Top marks from analysts
Analysts consider the current price level to be attractive to buyers wishing to enter the market. The DIC Asset AG share is recommended on the strength of good results and against the backdrop of robust economic conditions which are having a positive impact on the rental market.

Review report
To DIC Asset AG
We have reviewed the interim consolidated financialstatements, comprising the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes, and the interim Group management report of DIC Asset AG, Frankfurt am Main, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, which form part of the quarterly financial report according to Section 37 (w) Securities Trading Act (Gesetz über den Wertpapierhandel/ Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG). The preparation of the interim consolidated financialstatements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the European Union (EU), and of the interim Group management report, which has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on these interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim Group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the interim consolidated financial statements and the interim Group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor´s report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.
