Foreword
Dear Shareholders, Business Partners, Employees and Friends,
In the first quarter of financial 2007, DIC Asset AG prepared for the next phase of its growth and laid the essential organisational foundations. We are thoroughly prepared for another exciting and dynamic year of real estate investments:
The asset and property management platform DIC ONSITE has been integrated into the organisation and is operating successfully. Since January 2007, our subsidiary has been directly responsible for looking after and optimising all the real estate owned by DIC Asset AG throughout Germany. Management teams at five regional bases in our top investment locations handle operational real estate management in a way which takes into account the individual property and the needs of our tenants.
This approach greatly expands our value-added range, increases our managerial scope and enables us to realise optimisation potential faster and more effectively. The swift integration of properties acquired enables us to dynamically expand the portfolio within the framework of our growth strategy, without disruption to our operations.
The quarterly result clearly illustrates how much DIC Asset AG has grown over the last year. A sum of around EUR one billion was directly invested in 2006. The high quality and exceptionally high yield of the investments made last year are reflected in the figures:
from left: Jürgen Overath (COO), Ulrich Höller (CEO), Markus Koch (CFO)
- Net rental income was up EUR 12.5 million (+219%) compared with the same quarter in the previous year, to EUR 18.2 million;
- the Opportunistic Co-Investments segment contributed EUR 1.2 million to the result (PY: EUR 0.2 million);
- profit for the period almost quadrupled, to EUR 4.9 million;
- funds from operations (FFO) per share increased 29% and basic earnings per share by 42%;
- our capital resources remain very comfortable, with an equity ratio of 38.7%.
We ushered in the next stage in our growth in April 2007, when we purchased a real estate portfolio of SEB Immobilien-Investment GmbH for approximately EUR 460 million. Our portfolio has been strengthened by 26 properties leased on a long-term basis in various major German cities, and its volume has risen to around EUR 1.8 billion as a result. In addition, we participated as co-investor with an interest of 20% in the acquisition of a portfolio from HANSAINVEST, comprising 54 objects and a total investment volume of EUR 465 million.
We plan further investments during financial 2007, both in highquality real estate leased on a long-term basis and in properties with short to medium-term optimisation potential which can be exploited primarily through the real estate management activities of DIC ONSITE.
On 30 March 2007 the upper house of Germany's parliament voted in favour of introducing German REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). We are exploring every avenue offered by REITs, to ascertain the opportunitiesthey may present for DIC Asset AG by hiving off some of our real estate assets. As in the past, we will consistently and quickly exploit any opportunities which arise in this regard on the real estate market, in the interests of DIC Asset AG's shareholders.
The inclusion of DIC Asset AG in the MDAX is also part of our long-term growth strategy. In our investor relations activities, we are working hard to raise the profile of the share. The inclusion in the GPR 250 Index in April 2007 marked an important step towards this goal. We are now one of the 250 most liquid real estate companies in the world. This will further consolidate both interest in DIC Asset AG and the success of our share.
In 2007, we intend to continue operating as one of the fastestgrowing companies on the German real estate market. We will continue to focus on German commercial property and expect to make further investments of at least EUR one billion in 2007. We are confident that, in a dynamic market environment, we will be able to further improve our good market position as the financial year progresses.

Portfolio Performance
In the first quarter, DIC Asset AG laid the organisational foundations for its further growth.
As well as establishing DIC ONSITE as the asset and property management company in charge of the entire portfolio, we profited in particular from active portfolio management in the Opportunistic Co-Investments segment. As at 31 March 2007, the portfolio encompassed 271 properties with a combined lettable area of approximately 764,000 sqm.
Portfolio optimised by sale
At the end of February, as part of our Opportunistic Co-Investments activities, an office building in Bad Homburg was very successfully sold to Spanish company Falcon Real Estate Investments for EUR 47.5 million. The property, with a floor space of roughly 16,000 sqm, was acquired in 2006 along with nine other properties. DIC Asset AG has a 20% stake.
On 1 March 2007, the purchase of 52 properties in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg wasrecognised in the balance sheet. The majority of the properties have been leased long-term to the public sector,some objects offersignificant development potential. DIC Asset AG as co-investor holds a stake of 20% in this opportunistic investment.
Redevelopment of City Library, Frankfurt am Main
Development project"MainTor", Frankfurt am Main
Ongoing development projects on schedule
Construction work on the redevelopment of the central library in Frankfurt's city centre is in full swing. The impressive development project was leased to the city of Frankfurt on a long-term basis while it was still in the planning phase, and sold to a leasing company. In the interior of the former head office of Frankfurter Sparkasse, modern library space is being created with a sculpturally-designed reading tower for visitors and up to 200 places for reading and working. The property will be handed over to the buyer when the city library moves into the premises, in the second half of 2007.
Building work on the Bienenkorbhaus ("bee-hive building") in Frankfurt is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2007. The historical building will undergo refurbishment to reposition it, and a modern extension will be added.
Ambitious "MainTor" high-rise project underway
In mid-March, plansfor the redesign of the Degussa site in Frankfurt were presented to the public. The response from the public and press was extremely positive. DIC Asset AG has a 20% stake in this project, through its Opportunistic Co-Investments segment. The site has been leased to Degussa AG on a long-term basis and, as well as regular cashflow from the rental income, it offers first-rate development opportunities.
The aim of the new concept for the "MainTor – ImPuls von Frankfurt" project is to transform the former administrative site into a lively area open to the public, in a prime city centre location. At the heart of the development concept are the plans for a highrise building up to 180 metres tall, which will have great architectural merit.
DIC ONSITE gets off to a successful start
DIC Asset AG has combined its asset and property management activities in DIC ONSITE GmbH.
DIC ONSITE is chiefly responsible for operational real estate management for the entire portfolio and looks after more than 270 properties with a combined lettable area of 1.3 million sqm.
Branches in the portfolio's main investment locations provide a direct, local service for tenants and properties. Another branch was opened in Hamburg in March.
DIC ONSITE newly leased or re-leased approximately 31,100 sqm of floor space.

Financial Position and Results of Operations
Rental income rises sharply as a result of portfolio growth
Total revenues for the first quarter were EUR 21.8 million. This compares with revenues of EUR 6.8 million during the same period in the previous year. As a result of the significant growth in the portfolio, net rental income was up EUR 12.5 million (+219%), to EUR 18.2 million. Approximately 63% of the revenues stemmed from the rental of office premises, 12% from retail premises, 22% from commercial premises and parking areas and 3% from residential premises. The occupancy rate for DIC Asset AG's portfolio as at 31 March 2007 was 91%.
Rise in expenses disproportionately low
As the portfolio has grown, administrative and personnel expenses have risen by a far smaller percentage than rental income. Organisational improvements and more efficient processes have had a positive impact. Having risen by 291% to EUR 4.1 million, depreciation is on a par with the growth in real estate assets.
Operating result strengthened by portfolio expansion
Funds from operations (FFO), before depreciation, taxes and profits from sales of property and development projects, increased significantly in line with the growth in the portfolio, rising EUR 7.5 million (+259%) to approximately EUR 10.4 million. FFO per share was EUR 0.36.
Development projects with an impact on the result
The development project for the central library in Frankfurt proceeded according to schedule during the period under review and was valued according to the percentage-of-completion method. The project accounted for approximately EUR 0.2 million of the result.
Profit for the period almost quadrupled
Due mainly to the expansion of the portfolio, EBITDA was up EUR 11.9 million (+277%) to EUR 16.2 million and EBIT by EUR 8.9 million (+278%) to EUR 12.1 million. Profit for the period increased by EUR 3.6 million (+277%) to EUR 4.9 million. The result of the Opportunistic Co-Investments segment was instrumental in this (share of the profit of associates), which climbed from EUR 0.2 million to EUR 1.2 million due primarily to the expansion of the segment in financial 2006 and the sale of real estate. The negative financial result increased significantly by EUR 5.2 million (306%) to EUR -6.9 million, due to the expansion of the portfolio. Tax expenses were roughly on a par with the previous year.
The profitability of DIC Asset AG (profit for the period in relation to total revenues) increased by 2.9 percentage points to 22.2%.
Slight growth in total assets
Total assets of DIC Asset AG were up EUR 52.4 million compared with 31 December 2006 to EUR 1,396.1 million. Non-current assets grew slightly by EUR 5.1 million to EUR 1,112.3 million, chiefly as a consequence of the co-investment in the joint venture company for the takeover of the 52 properties acquired from the City of Hamburg. DIC Asset AG has a 20% stake in this opportunistic investment. As a result of the inflow of cash from calls on credit instruments, current assets increased by EUR 47.3 million to EUR 283.8 million.
Comfortable capital resources
Equity rose by EUR 6.6 million to EUR 540.6 million, as a result of the transfer of retained earnings. At the end of the first quarter of 2007, the equity ratio stood at 38.7%. The non-current liabilities of DIC Asset AG increased by approximately EUR 59.1 million to EUR 819.2 million, as a result of the drawdown of credit instruments, while current liabilities fell by EUR 13.3 million (-37%) to EUR 36.3 million.
Liquidity available for further acquisitions
Net liquidity (liquid assets, less short-term debt) increased by EUR 38.2 million at the end of the first quarter to EUR 207.4 million. Combined with loans available at short notice, approximately EUR 305.6 million are available for the rapid conclusion of further acquisitions.

Significant growth in cash flow from operating activities
In the first quarter of 2007, cash flow from operating activities was significantly above the previous year's figures, due to the expansion of the portfolio. The inflow of funds from operating activities rose by EUR 6.0 million in total (+200%) to EUR 9.0 million. Cash flow from investing activities fell by approximately EUR 61.2 million compared with the same quarter in the previous year to EUR -28.1 million, due to a decline in acquisition activities. Cash flow from financing activities grew by EUR 18.9 million to EUR 59.3 million.
As at the end of the first quarter, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 219.9 million, which is EUR 188.9 million higher than at the end of the same quarter in the previous year.

The Share
Successful performance in a difficult environment
For 2006 as a whole, the DIC Asset AG share significantly outperformed the SDAX and the EPRA Nareit/Europe, the index for European real estate stocks, with a performance of 67.9%. The SDAX got off to a very good start in 2007, with a growth rate of 9.9%, and has even recouped the losses caused by a general market correction in March 2007.
The DIC Asset AG share also performed well, outperforming the EPRA Nareit/Europe index, with growth of 3.6%. Overall, the stock market environment was tougher for real estate stocks in Europe. In the first quarter, the EPRA Nareit/Europe achieved a performance of 3.0%.
Free float tops 50 percent for the first time
In early January, Deutsche Immobilien Chancen AG & Co. KGaA and Forum Partners together successfully placed 2.35 million shares (8.25 percent of the issued share capital) in DIC Asset AG with institutional investors, and the free float increased to 54.9 percent. The greater liquidity has made the share even more attractive.
Regular meetings with analysts and positive valuation
We talk to our shareholders, analysts and investors on a regular basis to provide them with information and present DIC Asset AG at industry and investment events. Analysts from renowned banks value our share positively. Since April 2007, the DIC Asset AG share has also been represented on the GPR 250 Index, which measures the performance of the 250 most liquid real estate companies in the world. The weightings are based on free float market capitalisation. Our inclusion in this index will further increase interest in the DIC Asset share among institutional investors.

Material Events after the Balance Sheet Date
Investments totalling approximately EUR 550 million
At the start of April, a portfolio of 26 properties with a lettable area of about 263,000 sqm was taken over from SEB Immobilien-Investment GmbH, for approximately EUR 460 million. The properties, spread across Germany, generate annual rental income in the region of EUR 26.5 million. The vacancy rate of just under 15% offers attractive optimisation potential which will be realised through the asset and property management of DIC ONSITE.
A portfolio of ten commercial properties and a lettable area of approximately 60,000 sqm wassuccessfully placed with two Luxembourg investors for approximately EUR 85 million at the end of April. The properties are located in medium-sized German cities and are almost 95% let. Ownership is scheduled to be transferred at the end of the second quarter, so the transaction will make a substantial contribution to the overall result.
Within the scope of opportunistic co-investments, DIC Asset AG participated in the acquisition of a portfolio for a total investment volume of EUR 465 million from HANSAINVEST in May 2007. The portfolio consists of 54 objects with a lettable area of 351,000 sqm. DIC Asset AG holds an interest of 20%.
Further expansion of portfolio is planned
Outlook
We went a long way towards achieving this year's growth target in the first six months, when we purchased the SEB's high-quality portfolio. In keeping with our growth strategy, we will make further investments in first-rate properties on long-term leases which generate high cash flow, as well as in real estate with attractive potential for an increase in value.
We plan to complete acquisitions with a volume of at least EUR one billion this year.
In order that the real estate portfolio, which currently has an approximate volume of EUR 1.8 billion, can be managed efficiently and to take into account the needs of tenants, the activities of the asset and property management platform DIC ONSITE will be supplemented with a branch in Berlin. With its existing locations in Frankfurt, Mannheim, Duesseldorf and Hamburg, DIC Asset AG is perfectly equipped for its expansive growth strategy.
As part of our active portfolio management approach, we regularly investigate selling opportunities and consistently exploit attractive propositions in the interests of our shareholders.
NRG GmbH headquarters, Hanover
Based on the current portfolio and including the gains on the sale of real state, we plan to again more than double the result achieved by DIC Asset AG last year. We expect earnings after depreciation and taxes of EUR 32 – 35 million in 2007.
