LETTER FROM THE MANAGING BOARD

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

After our successful performance in 2015, the company also enjoyed a highly positive start to the 2016 financial year. We have continued our strategy and systematically pressed ahead with the expansion and optimisation of our portfolio.

A particular highlight in the first quarter was the transfer of the property acquired in Lübeck in 2015. The Haerder Centre in the heart of the city was transferred to HAMBORNER on 29 February 2016 and, with a purchase price of just under €50 million, is the largest single acquisition by the company to date. The shopping mall built in 2008 offers a rental area of around 13,200 m² and its core tenants include H&M, New Yorker, REWE and mytoys. The gross initial yield is 6.5%. In addition, the purchase agreement for another office building in Münster was signed in February 2016. The property is an ideal complement to the neighbouring office buildings that were already acquired by Hamborner in 2009. The purchase price amounts to around €6.1 million at a gross initial yield of approximately 6.8%. The total volume of our properties in Deilmann Park is therefore around €30 million. Furthermore, the properties in Dinslaken, Duisburg and Solingen, for which sales agreements were signed in 2015, were transferred on 29 January 2016. After the additions and disposals, HAMBORNER thus had a portfolio of 67 properties with a fair value of around €943 million as at 31 March 2016. After the successful capital increases in 2015, the company still has scope for acquisitions of around €100 million to €120 million while maintaining its long-term target REIT equity ratio of 50%.

Operating performance was extremely positive in the first quarter of 2016. This is clearly reflected in our key figures. Income from rents and leases increased by 23.2% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2016. FFO, our key control parameter, rose by as much as 35.8% in the first three months of this financial year. We are therefore confident for the rest of the year.

Our Annual General Meeting will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday, 28 April 2016 in the town hall of Mülheim/Ruhr. The Managing Board and the Supervisory Board look forward to welcoming you there.

With this in mind, we wish you and ourselves every continuing success for the rest of the year and thank you for your confidence.

Duisburg, April 2016

Dr Rüdiger Mrotzek Hans Richard Schmitz

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

General Economic Conditions

The German economy picked up the pace at the start of the year, according to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs. While the export situation was still muted, the German economy was above all driven by robust domestic demand. In particular, industry and construction were able to ramp up their production significantly thanks not least to the mild winter. Even though the pace of growth is expected to slow somewhat during the year, the government is predicting GDP growth of 1.7% for 2016.

The positive development on the labour market is ongoing. At the end of March the number of people in employment was 43.0 million with an unemployment rate of 6.5%. The Federal Employment Agency is forecasting an unemployment rate of 6.4% for the year as a whole. Consumer prices rose by 0.8% as against the previous month in March. Compared to March 2015, consumer prices have risen by 0.3%.

Report on Result of Operations, Net Asset Situation and Financial Position

As expected, the result of operations, net asset situation and financial position of HAMBORNER REIT AG were good in the first three months of 2016.

Result of Operations

By the end of March, we generated income from rents and leases on our properties of €14,667 thousand (previous year: €11,901 thousand). The increase as against the same period of the previous year was then €2,766 thousand or 23.2%. At €2,834 thousand (23.8%), the increase resulted from property acquisitions in 2015 and the first three months of the current financial year. As a result of property disposals, income declined by a total of €292 thousand (2.5%). The rental income from properties that were in our portfolio in both the first three months of 2015 and the reporting quarter (like-for-like) was up by €223 thousand (1.9%).

The already very low economic vacancy rate taking into account agreed rent guarantees has declined even further to 1.2% in the first three months of the reporting year (previous year: 2.4%). Not including rent guarantees the vacancy rate was 1.6% (previous year: 2.5%).

The income from passed-on incidental costs to tenants amounted to €1,949 thousand, €654 thousand (50.5%) higher than in the same period of the previous year (€1,295 thousand). Expenses for the management of our properties increased by €831 thousand (47.4%) to €2,586 thousand (previous year: €1,755 thousand) for the three months ended March 2016.

The expenses for the maintenance of our land and property portfolio amounted to €441 thousand as at 31 March 2016 after €380 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The costs predominantly relate to minor, ongoing maintenance. The more extensive work planned will not begin until later quarters.

At €13,589 thousand, the net rental income derived from the above items is €2,528 thousand or 22.9% higher than the value for the same period of the previous year (€11,061 thousand).

Administrative and personnel expenses totalled €1,213 thousand, down 7.9% on the previous year's level (€1,317 thousand). While administrative expenses were slightly higher than the previous year's level with a rise of €18 thousand, personnel expenses declined by €122 thousand or 11.9%. The reduction in personnel expenses is due mainly to the measurement of the long-term portion of Managing Board remuneration (LTI). The measurement of long-term Managing Board remuneration is essentially dependent on the price of hamborner shares at the end of the reporting period. The effect on personnel expenses of the measurement of the LTI in the respective reporting period derives in particular from the change in the share price as at the end of the quarter compared to the closing price on 31 December of the previous year. While the share price was up by around 26% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2015, the share price in the first quarter of 2016 was down slightly by around 1% compared to the end of 2015. As a result, in the first three months of the current year, the personnel expenses relating to the LTI were €206 thousand lower than the corresponding expense for the same period of the previous year. The operating cost ratio, i.e. administrative and personnel expenses to income from rents and leases, was therefore 8.3% (previous year: 11.1%).

Depreciation and amortisation expenses rose by €1,110 thousand to €5,357 thousand in the reporting period after €4,247 thousand in the same period of the previous year as a result of property acquisitions in particular.

Other operating income amounted €379 thousand in the first quarter of the reporting year (previous year: €421 thousand). Income includes €162 thousand (previous year: €5 thousand) from the reversal of provisions that, in particular, were recognised for land taxes on a property assessed by the tax office for the first time since it was built. After being assessed, it was found that the taxes are lower than originally assumed. Furthermore, €135 thousand (previous year: €354 thousand) of other operating income relates essentially to compensation and reimbursements in connection with property management.

Other operating expenses amounted to €352 thousand in the first quarter of 2016 (previous year: €315 thousand). This item includes membership fees of €105 thousand (previous year: €107 thousand), public relations work of €95 thousand (previous year: €68 thousand) and legal and consulting costs of €50 thousand (previous year: €41 thousand).

The operating result of the company amounted to €7,046 thousand as at the end of March 2016 after €5,603 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

The company generated net income of €2,465 thousand (previous year: €0 thousand) from the disposal of three properties in the first quarter of 2016.

The financial result is €-3,380 thousand as against €-3,206 thousand in the same period of the previous year. At €-3,381 thousand (previous year: €-3,211 thousand), the amounts for interest expenses included in this increased as against the same quarter of the previous year on account of the utilisation of further loans to finance property acquisitions in particular.

The first quarter of 2016 closed with comprehensive income for the period of €6,131 thousand after €2,397 thousand in the same period of the previous year. FFO (funds from operations), i.e. the operating result before depreciation and amortisation expenses and not including proceeds from disposals, increased by 35.8% and amounted to €9,023 thousand in the reporting period (previous year: €6,644 thousand). With 11,959,948 more shares outstanding than in the same period of the previous year, this corresponds to FFO per share of 15 cents (previous year: 13 cents). The increase in FFO in the first quarter of 2016 as against the same quarter of the previous year is essentially due to the contributions by the properties added in 2015. As the additions mainly occurred in the second half of 2015, the rise in FFO in the first quarter is particularly pronounced.

Net Asset Situation and Financial Position

Ownership of the Haerder Centre shopping mall in Lübeck was transferred to us on 29 February 2016. The purchase price of the property was €49.1 million at a gross initial yield of approximately 6.5%.

We signed the purchase agreement for an office property in Münster at a purchase price of €6.1 million on 10 February 2016. The property is adjacent to the building already owned by hamborner on Martin-Luther-King-Weg. Ownership is expected to transfer at the end of the second quarter of 2016.

Furthermore, the properties in Dinslaken, Duisburg and Solingen reported under "Non-current assets held for sale" as at 31 December 2015 were transferred to the respective buyers on 29 January 2016. With sales prices of €7.8 million in total and residual carrying amounts of €5.3 million, the book profit generated was €2.5 million.

The updated fair value of the developed property portfolio taking into account the above changes was €943.3 million as at the end of the quarter under review (31 December 2015: €899.8 million).

The company had cash and cash equivalents of €28.3 million on 31 March 2016 (31 December 2015: €27.1 million). The change is essentially due to cash generated by operating activities (€11.5 million; previous year: €9.5 million) and the utilisation of loans (€42.8 million). The cash inflows were largely offset by outflows for investments in the property portfolio (€54.8 million) and for interest and principal payments (€6.1 million). Furthermore, there are other financing commitments of €79.0 million.

On the equity and liabilities side, equity amounted to €412.3 million as at 31 March 2016 after €406.1 million as at 31 December 2015. The reported equity ratio as at the end of the period was 49.8% after 51.6% as at 31 December 2015. The REIT equity ratio was 59.6% after 61.5% as at 31 December 2015.

Current and non-current financial liabilities increased by a net total of €39.9 million as against 31 December 2015 (€344.3 million) as a result of the utilisation of loans in the first quarter of 2016 in particular, amounting to €384.2 million as at the end of the quarter. The average borrowing rate for loans in place and those agreed but not yet utilised is 3.2%.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is €-8.2 million as at 31 March 2016 and therefore at the same level as on 31 December 2015 (€-8.2 million).

The net asset value (NAV) of the company was €571.7 million thousand as at the end of the quarter (31 December 2015: €564.7 million). This corresponds to NAV per share of €9.22 after €9.11 as at 31 December 2015.

Risk Report

As a property company with a portfolio spread across the whole of Germany, HAMBORNER REIT AG is exposed to a number of risks that could affect its result of operations, net assets situation and financial position. We are not currently anticipating any significant changes in the assessment of risks to the business development of the company as against 31 December 2015. The comments made in the risk report of the 2015 management report therefore still apply.

No risks to the continuation of the company as a going concern are currently discernible.

Forecast Report

As an asset manager for commercial properties, HAMBORNER REIT AG held a portfolio of 67 properties as at 31 March 2016. In future, the company's strategy will be geared towards value-adding growth in the fields of large-scale retail, high street commercial properties and office properties.

We are standing by our basic estimates for future business prospects as published in the 2015 annual report. Without further potential investments not yet fleshed out, we are therefore assuming an increase in income from rents and leases of 13% to 15% for 2016 as a whole, combined with growth in operating earnings (FFO) of a similar amount. The first quarter of 2016 has provided a good foundation for achieving this forecast.

Supplementary Report

There have been no transactions of particular significance since the end of the quarter.

NOTES ON THE INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Information on HAMBORNER

HAMBORNER REIT AG is a listed corporation (SCN 601300) headquartered in Duisburg, Germany. This interim report of HAMBORNER REIT AG for the first quarter of 2016 was published on 27 April 2016. The interim financial statements have been prepared in euro (€), whereby all amounts – unless stated otherwise – are reported in thousands of euro (€ thousand). Minor rounding differences may occur in totals and percentages.

Principles of Reporting

This interim report of HAMBORNER REIT AG as at 31 March 2016 is in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as applicable in the European Union. In particular, it was prepared in line with the regulations of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 on interim reporting and the requirements of the German Accounting Standard No. 16 of DRSC (German Accounting Standards Committee) on interim reporting and in accordance with the requirements of section 37w of the Wertpapierhandelsgesetz (WpHG – German Securities Trading Act). The scope of its reporting has been condensed compared to the separate financial statements as at 31 December 2015.

The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2016 are based on the same accounting policies as the separate IFRS financial statements as at 31 December 2015. The accounting standards applicable from 1 January 2016 that have been endorsed by the EU and revised were complied with. However, they had no significant effect on the presentation of the interim financial statements.

This interim report was neither audited by an auditor in accordance with section 317 HGB nor reviewed by an auditor.

In our opinion, the interim report contains all the significant information needed to understand the changes in the result of operations, net asset situation and financial position of HAMBORNER REIT AG since the end of the last reporting period. The significant changes and transactions in the reporting period are presented in the interim management report of this document.

Material Transactions in the First Three Months of 2016

The Haerder Centre in Lübeck was transferred to the portfolio on 29 February 2016. The purchase price was €49.1 million.

The rights and liabilities for the properties in Dinslaken, Duisburg and Solingen reported under "Non-current assets held for sale" as at 31 December 2015 were transferred to the buyer on 29 January 2016.

At the end of March, we signed the loan agreement for the pro rata debt financing of the property acquired in Lübeck in February in the amount of €32.5 million. The interest rate is set at 1.38% for ten years.

Other Selected Notes

In the process of preparing these interim financial statements, we reviewed the fair values of our properties as calculated by expert opinion as at 31 December 2015. The review did not identify any factors affecting their value that would have led to a significantly different valuation. It therefore currently appears justified to retain the values published as at 31 December 2015 in these interim financial statements. The property in Lübeck added after 31 December 2015 was also valued by an expert and included in reporting accordingly.

On 31 March 2016, there were obligations arising from notarised purchase agreements for two properties in Ditzingen and Münster to pay a total purchase price of €18.8 million. The purchase prices will fall due after the conditions have been met.

With the exception of derivatives recognised at fair value, all assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

Under assets and liabilities recognised at amortised cost, except for the financial liabilities, the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are a good approximation of their fair value.

The fair values of financial liabilities are equal to the present values of the payments associated with the liabilities, taking into account the current interest rate parameters (level 2 under IFRS 13) as at the end of the reporting period, and amount to €416,813 thousand as at 31 March of this year (31 December 2015: €372,477 thousand).

The derivative financial instruments reported in the statement of financial position are measured at fair value. These are exclusively interest hedges. The market values calculated by banks result from discounting the expected future cash flows over the residual term of the contracts on the basis of observable market interest rates or yield curves (level 2 under IFRS 7).

Significant Related Party Transactions

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

General Development on the Capital Market

Trading in the first quarter of 2016 was characterised by strong turbulence. The DAX was at 10,283 points at the start of the year. Driven by further declines in oil prices and falling share prices on Asian stock markets, the benchmark index lost around 15% in the first half of the quarter to reach a low of 8,753 points by the middle of February. The stock markets largely recovered in the second half of the quarter thanks to positive corporate news and a further cut in lending rates by the European Central Bank. The DAX closed at 9,965 points on 31 March 2016.
