Dear Shareholders, Business Partners, Employees and Friends,
The real estate markets were characterised by two main trends during the first half of 2007. On a positive note, the volume of transactions in Germany – in contrast to that in the rest of Europe – rose by around 34 percent during the first six months of this year. Foreign investors continue to dominate market activity. At the same time, rising interest rates are reducing the prime yields until recently available on real estate investments.
DIC Asset AG has aligned its strategy with these trends and thus been able to expand upon the successes achieved in past years. Strategically, our focus has been on realising three goals:
■ As an investor active exclusively in Germany, we have considerable expertise in the country's commercial real estate market. This competitive edge ensures that, when acquiring real estate, we obtain properties of a consistently high quality. This is one of the key criteria for success for real estate investors.
- With our in-depth knowledge of the market, we are able to quickly identify the right potential buyers when selling properties. This is reflected in good selling prices.
- Lastly, by dynamically expanding our professional asset and property management activities, we are increasing the regular cash flow from rental income and thus the value of our real estate on behalf of our Company.
Our strategic approach has paid off and we are therefore very happy with the results for the financial year thus far.
We have taken the next step in our growth by carrying out three major transactions and exceeded our investment goals by making new investments totalling more than EUR 700 million. At the same time, we sold several properties for proceeds of EUR 118 million and thus achieved extremely high first-half earnings of EUR 19.2 million. Our portfolio currently comprises around 330 properties worth some EUR 1.9 billion. At the end of June, we raised our profit forecast for 2007 to EUR 36 to 38 million based on the successful development of our business.
We intend to continue our track record of success in the second half of the year and have therefore once again set ourselves some challenging goals:
For the next 12 to 15 months, we are planning acquisitions totalling EUR 1 billion. We have sufficient proportionate funds in place for this. By acquiring the "Value6A" portfolio comprising eight first-class properties for around EUR 155 million, we have already taken a major step towards our acquisition target. We are also preparing for further disposals as part of our active portfolio management approach.
We are continuing to expand our asset and property management activities, which are oriented towards the needs of tenants. DIC ONSITE, which currently has around 50 employees at five locations, plays the central operational role in terms of increasing value and realising profits. In expanding the portfolio, we will open a sixth branch office in Munich.
Chief Operating Officer Jürgen Overath stepped down from the Management Board of DIC Asset AG on 31 July 2007. The position will be taken up on 1 October 2007 by Dr. Jürgen Schäfer, who brings with him many years of industry expertise.
Interim Group Management Report: Portfolio Performance
Further step taken in the Company's growth
With a managed portfolio of commercial properties worth around EUR 3 billion, DIC Asset AG ranks among the largest real estate companies in Germany. It pursues a dynamic growth strategy and an active management approach with a view to preserving the value of and optimising its portfolio. This portfo-
lio is divided into the Core, Value-Added and Opportunis tic Co-Investments segments based on criteria relating to opportunities and risks.
In the second quarter, DIC Asset AG greatly expanded the portfolio by carrying out two major acquisitions and significantly increased its earnings on the back of higher rental income and targeted disposals.

Acquisitions on a large scale
At the beginning of April, DIC Asset AG acquired a portfolio comprising 26 properties in some of Germany's larger towns and cities (named "Odin") from SEB Immobilien-Investment GmbH. The properties have been let for an average of around seven years and currently generate annual rental income of roughly EUR 26.5 million. The possession was transferred on 31 May 2007.
The vacancy rate of approximately 15% offers considerable
potential to increase income. The initial net yield of 5.8% is being raised through new letting and lease agree ment optimisation on the part of DIC ONSITE Real Estate Management and through index adjustments.
Bavaria Film Studios, Grünwald near Munich (Odin portfolio)
In May 2007, DIC Asset AG acquired a 20% stake in the "Helena" portfolio by making a joint acquisition with Deutsche Immobilien Chancen AG & Co. KGaA and DIC Capital Partners (Germany) GmbH & Co. KGaA.
This opportunistic co-investment gives DIC Asset AG an interest in a portfolio comprising 54 properties and around 350,000 sqm of floor space that was previously managed by HANSAINVEST, the investment company of the Signal IDUNA Group. Around 40% of the office, retail and logistics properties are in top locations such as Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin. Sixty percent of the properties are distributed across larger towns and cities throughout Germany. The acquisition took place on 1 August 2007.
Here, the economic potential is in quickly reducing the vacancy rate of around 16% and optimising the lease agreements expiring in the first few years.

Active portfolio management results in successful disposals
In the second quarter, the Company agreed or completed the sale of 16 properties worth a total of proportionate EUR 109 million as part of its active portfolio strategy. In regional terms, the disposals primarily mean that it is now concentrating to a greater extent on the portfolio's focal areas in economically strong regions.
One example particularly worthy of note is the sale of the "Mustang" portfolio to two Luxembourg investors for around EUR 85 million, which was agreed at the end of April 2007. The portfolio comprises ten commercial properties and total floor space of around 60,000 sqm. The letting rate was 95% and the remaining term of the lease agreements around three to four years. This transaction was closed and has now been fully completed.
New lets increased
In the first half of the year, new lets and lease renewals reached around 68,800 sqm of space. In the second quarter, DIC ONSITE let around 20% more space than in the first quarter. The letting rate across the portfolio as a whole is around 89%, a success given the disposals of fully let properties and the strategic acquisition of properties with vacancies.
DIC ONSITE is responsible for optimising and increasing the value of the properties through property and asset management activities such as new letting and lease agreement optimisation. The DIC ONSITE network has been extended to include a further branch office so as to provide optimum service oriented towards the needs of tenants in Berlin, a portfolio focal area that has recently been greatly expanded. With offices in the focal areas of Frankfurt, Mannheim, Duesseldorf, Hamburg and now Berlin, DIC Asset AG is very well positioned strategically.

Renovation of the Bienenkorbhaus under way
In August, construction work got under way on the Bienenkorbhaus ("Beehive Building") on the Zeil, one of the oldest high-rises in Frankfurt. Our expectation is that by the end of 2008, this historical building will have been renovated and extended to incorporate a new annex in which the anchor tenant, the shoe company Görtz, will set up a flagship store.
Together with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds (MSREF), DIC Asset AG is investing around EUR 65 million in the development project, which will significantly enhance the City of Frankfurt's main shopping area.
City library development project completed
Construction work on the city's central library has largely been completed. In mid-July, the building was officially handed over to the City of Frankfurt and the client billed. Work is still being carried out to put the finishing touches to the building before the tenants move in and the city library becomes operational.
Redevelopment Bienenkorbhaus, Frankfurt am Main
MainTor project at the consultation stage
The MainTor project, involving the redevelopment and openingup of the Degussa site so as to provide access to and from Frankfurt's city centre and the River Main, continues to meet in intensive consultation talks with political bodies and the municipality. The architecturally ambitious project envisages a total investment of over EUR 500 million and the construction of a striking high-rise with the project name "WinX", the filigree architecture of which will enhance the Frankfurt skyline. The plans were presented to a broad public audience.
Financial Position and Results of Operations
Earnings increased fivefold and assets grown significantly
The figures for the first half of the year illustrate DIC Asset AG's rapid pace of growth since its initial public offering in May 2006. Revenues, earnings measures and consolidated net income were driven essentially by two factors: the greatly expanded portfolio and a significantly higher volume of property disposals than in the first half of 2006.
Rental income more than tripled
Total revenues rose by EUR 114.1 million (+630%) to EUR 132.2 million. Compared with the first half of 2006, rental income was up by EUR 27.7 million (+229%) to EUR 39.8 million due to the expansion of the portfolio. In line with the strategic focus on commercial real estate, 70% of the rental income came from office lets, 11% from retail space, around 16% from other commercial premises and parking areas, and 3% from residential premises. At 30 June 2007, the letting rate for the DIC Asset AG portfolio was 89%.
Expenses pushed higher by the portfolio's expansion
The expansion of the portfolio is also having an impact on items of expense. Personnel and administrative expenses rose by a disproportionately low percentage due to economies of scale and a therefore more efficient organisation. Depreciation and amortisation also increased as a result of the portfolio's expansion. The sharp increase in the negative financial result was due to the significantly higher volume of financing and interest rate rises. Total expenses rose by EUR 84.1 million (+786%) to EUR 94.8 million overall, mainly as a result of the higher net carrying amounts deducted following the property disposals.
Funds from operations sharply increased
Funds from operations (FFO) before depreciation, amortisation, taxes and gains from disposals and development projects rose sharply, by EUR 14.0 million (+212%) to around EUR 20.6 million. FFO per share was EUR 0.72 (previous year: EUR 0.48).
Development project impacts on earnings
The development project for the central library in Frankfurt was completed by the end of the first half of the year. Following its measurement under the percentage-of-completion method, EUR 0.8 million of the total profit of EUR 2.0 million was added to earnings for the first half of 2007.
Record profit from property disposals
From property disposals made as part of its active portfolio strategy, DIC Asset AG generated net sales proceeds of EUR 84.6 million and a profit of EUR 11.6 million. The return was 13.7%. The prior-year profit from property disposals was EUR 0.5 million.
Earnings increased fivefold
EBITDA and EBT increased sharply year on year and are again higher than the provisional results announced initially. EBITDA rose by EUR 37.0 million (+394%) to EUR 46.4 million and EBIT by EUR 30.0 million (+405%) to EUR 37.4 million. Earnings before tax (EBT) rose by EUR 19.1 million (+386%) to EUR 24.0 million.
Profit for the period climbed to around EUR 19.2 million in the first half of 2007. The expansion of the Company's investment and selling activities lifted it by EUR 15.4 million (+405%) year on year. Earnings per share were EUR 0.66 (previous year: EUR 0.27).
The Opportunistic Co-Investments segment also contributed substantially to the success. The greatly expanded activities are reflected in the position "share of the profit of associates", which increased by EUR 2.1 million, from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 2.5 million.
Real estate assets increased by a third
Non-current assets rose by EUR 398.5 million (+36%) to EUR 1,505.7 million, due primarily to the expansion of the portfolio through acquisitions and opportunistic co-investments. Current assets increased by EUR 63.1 million (+27%) to EUR 299.6 million, due mainly to the cash inflow from property disposals. As a result, DIC Asset AG's total assets climbed by EUR 461.6 million (34%) overall versus 31 December 2006 to EUR 1,805.3 million.
Equity ratio at 30%
Equity amounted to EUR 541.4 million at the reporting date, EUR 7.4 million more than at the end of 2006. Following the intensive acquisition activity in the first half of the year, the equity ratio was 30.0% at 30 June 2007. DIC Asset AG's non-current liabilities increased by EUR 433.8 million (+57%) to EUR 1,193.9 million, mainly as a result of the capital raised to finance the Odin portfolio acquisition. Current liabilities rose, by EUR 20.4 million (+41%) to EUR 70.0 million.
Sufficient liquidity to quickly exploit opportunities
Net liquidity (liquid assets after deduction of current financial liabilities) rose by EUR 39.6 million to EUR 208.8 million at the end of the first half of the year. Together with loans available at short notice, the Company has around EUR 236.0 million at its disposal for acquisitions.
Profit overview Balance sheet structure in %
Active hedging to safeguard favourable rates of interest
DIC Asset AG hedges the majority of its liabilities over a longterm horizon, partly by using derivative financial instruments. This means that it is well positioned, even during periods of rising interest rates. At 30 June 2007, the average interest rate was 5.11 %.
Cash flow further increased
The portfolio's increased earnings power is also reflected in net cash flows. In the first half of 2007, net cash flow from operating activities increased by EUR 11.9 million (+142%) to EUR 20.3 million due to the expansion of the portfolio. Net cash flow from investing activities increased by EUR 247.9 million (+177%) year on year to EUR 387.8 million, due mainly to the acquisition of the Odin portfolio. Net cash flow from financing activities rose by EUR 137.5 million (+48%) to EUR 422.3 million, due mainly to the liabilities incurred in the course of the portfolio acquisitions. At 30 June 2007, cash and cash equivalents were up EUR 42.1 million (+22%) year on year to EUR 234.5 million.
Significant Events after the Balance Sheet Date
At the beginning of July 2007, DIC Asset AG successfully sold a residential portfolio comprising 353 units for just under EUR 20 million, thereby further reducing the non-strategic residential property segment with effect from the end of the year. In mid-July, the Core segment was further expanded through the acquisition of a portfolio comprising eight first-class properties with long-term leases for around EUR 155 million.
Chief Operating Officer Jürgen Overath stepped down from the Management Board of DIC Asset AG on 31 July 2007. Dr. Jürgen Schäfer will take over as COO on 1 October.
At the beginning of July, the fact that the first half of the year was a very successful one prompted the Management Board of DIC Asset AG to raise the profit forecast for 2007 to around EUR 36 to 38 million.

Expected Developments, Opportunities and Risks
Profit forecast raised to EUR 36 to 38 million
We are extremely happy with the first half of 2007. The acquisition of a portfolio belonging to SEB and the purchase of an interest in properties managed by HANSAINVEST are further important steps towards implementing the third stage of our growth strategy, the aim of which is market penetration. With acquisitions in the first half of the year totalling around EUR 550 million, we exceeded our investment targets.
For the next 12 to 15 months, we are planning further acquisitions totalling up to EUR 1 billion. DIC Asset AG has sufficient proportionate equity funds at its disposal to carry out these acquisitions. In line with our strategy, we will invest in first-class properties with long-term leases and high cash flows as well as in properties offering the potential for attractive value growth. We are already a step closer to achieving our goal as a result of acquiring the "Value6A" portfolio for around EUR 155 million, which will extend our Core segment.
We will also continue to pursue our active portfolio management approach, which in the first half of the year resulted in the successful placement of real estate for around EUR 118 million. We are constantly examining the opportunities to sell properties and systematically take advantage of these where they offer an attractive means of realising profits, preserving value and structuring the portfolio.
Our basic views on the development of the 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. Neither have there been any fundamental changes to our forecast. For a detailed account, please refer to the Risk Report and Forecast on pages 43 ff. of the Annual Report 2006.
Based on the very successful first half of the year, we are expecting to report earnings after depreciation, amortisation and taxes of EUR 36 to 38 million for 2007 as a whole. We are therefore raising the forecast made at the beginning of the financial year.
Responsibility Statement
"To the best of our knowledge, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group, and the interim management report of the group includes a fair review of the group's development and performance of its position, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group in the remaining months of the financial year, in accordance with German proper accounting principles of interim consolidated reporting."

The Share
Revaluation of real estate shares
European real estate shares on the whole are in the middle of a period of adjustment and correction. Following the most recent interest rate increases, the difference between rental yields and interest costs has narrowed once more, while in some European sub-markets such as Great Britain it is trending into negative territory. The EPRA/NAREIT Europe, the index for European real estate stocks, has lost around 16% since January 2007.
In Germany, however, investors are continuing to benefit from a positive profit margin between real estate yields and financing costs. Nevertheless, German real estate stocks were unable to resist the downward trend and were affected by profit taking and a risk reassessment with higher risk premiums. The REIT euphoria has died down somewhat as real estate companies take the time and care to carry out a thorough examination of the general conditions. Since the start of the year, the SDAX has performed positively on the whole and has risen by 8%, whereas the share price of DIC Asset AG has fallen by 27% as part of the general trend among real estate stocks.

Positive assessment by analysts
Interest in the DIC Asset AG share nevertheless remains intact, as illustrated in our discussions with institutional investors. Against the background of a sustained economic upturn with rental prices increasing in the medium term, analysts are recommending the share and consider the current price level as an attractive one at which to invest.
High dividend payment
In June, DIC Asset AG paid out dividends of EUR 21.4 million to its shareholders, thus enabling them to share fully in the success of the company following two capital increases in the last financial year. The dividend per share totalled EUR 0.75. At the General Meeting on 6 June 2007, the shareholders agreed to the creation of new authorised capital of EUR 14.25 million.

Review report
To DIC Asset AG
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – comprising the condensed balance sheet, condensed income statement, condensed cash flow statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes, and the interim Group management report of DIC Asset AG for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, which form part of the half year financial report according to Section 37 (w) Securities Trading Act (Gesetz über den Wertpapierhandel/ Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim Group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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.
