Increase in fair value of the real estate portfolio: 1,1 % for the first nine months of 20111 (0,3 % in the third quarter of 2011)
Intervest Offices & Warehouses changes its valuation rule for the indemnities received for the early termination of lease contracts
Operating distributable result for the first nine months of 2011 (after adaptation of the changed valuation rule): € 1,33 per share (€ 1,44 for the first nine months of 2010)
Increase of the expected gross dividend for the financial year 2011: between € 1,65 and € 1,73 per share (€ 1,83 for the financial year 2010)
In September 2011, Intervest Offices & Warehouses has concluded a lease contract with the biotechnological company Galapagos for approximately 1.500 m² of laboratories in a building formerly used by Tibotec-Virco as R&D centre (Generaal de Wittelaan 21 in Malines). This lease contract runs to 2024, with a possibility of termination in 2020. For the period from September 2011 till October 2014 half of the rental income is shared with Tibotec-Virco, in the framework of the agreement from 2010 related to the retrocession of rental income (see press release of 3 June 2010).
Simultaneously the existing lease contract with Galapagos for approximately 3.300 m² office space and laboratories, which would normally end in 2015, is prolonged for 9 years to 2024, with a possibility of termination in 2020.
These agreements with Galapagos are globally concluded at market conditions and confirm once again, after the agreement with Biocartis in April 2011, the attraction of Malines for companies from high technological sectors such as biotechnology.
On 30 September 2011, the total occupancy rate2 of the real estate portfolio of Intervest Offices & Warehouses amounts to 84 % (84 % on 30 June 2011):

In the third quarter of 2011, the fair value of the investment properties of Intervest Offices & Warehouses increases by € 38 million, mainly through:
3 See press release of 1 July 2011: Intervest Offices & Warehouses acquires approximately 58.000 m² distribution centres in Oevel and Houthalen.
In August 2011 the EECS (European Enforcers Coordination Cession), a forum organized by the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authorities) has provided more information regarding the implementation of IFRS related to indemnities received from early terminated lease contracts (as compensation for loss of rental income). The EECS has determined that according to IFRS, indemnities received from early terminated lease contracts must entirely be recorded as income in the annual accounts of the year in which the indemnity is received and may not be deferred into income over the remaining duration of the original lease contract.
On this basis the FSMA has advised Intervest Offices & Warehouses to change its valuation rules on this subject. According to IAS 8 this change in valuations rules must be applied retroactively so that the comparable figures of 2010 have to be adapted. As a result, the indemnity received in September 2010 from Tibotec-Virco4 (excluding the obligation of retrocession to repay 50 % of all future rental income in case of letting before the end of the duration of the original lease contract) is recorded as profit in 2010. This gives the following result:

The additional operating distributable result that appears in 2010 through the change in valuation rule, will according to the original accounting method, be attributed to the dividend of the years 2011-2013/2014. As Intervest Offices & Warehouses has realised in 2011 the letting to Biocartis and Galapagos of the space that was formerly let, the property investment fund can distribute already in the financial year 2011 € 2,4 million additional dividend (see point 2.3 infra - Result for the first nine months of 2011). In total this means that on 31 December 2011 only € 0,1 million will remain available for distribution for the years 2012/2014 as a result of the change in valuation rule.

In the third quarter of 2011, the net rental income of Intervest Offices & Warehouses amounts to € 9,9 million (€ 12 million). This decrease of € 2,1 million compared to the third quarter of 2010 is mainly the combined effect of:
The property management costs and income amounts to € 0,8 million for the third quarter of 2011 (€ 0,3 million) and comprise the result on the indemnities for rental charges (received from Tibotec-Virco) due to the letting to Galapagos in Intercity Business Park, and the refurbishment indemnities taken into result.
In the third quarter of 2011, the property charges of the property investment fund amount to € 1,3 million (€ 0,7 million). This increase of € 0,6 million comes mainly from the increase of the costs for maintenance and repair, higher vacancy costs and the increased management costs of the property investment fund.
The changes in fair value of the investment properties amounts in the third quarter of 2011 to - € 0,7 million (- € 1,5 million) and consist mainly of:
The financial result (excl. changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (ineffective hedges - IAS 39)) amounts to - € 3,3 million (- € 2,9 million). The increase of the financial costs of € 0,4 million is due to the acquisition of three logistic sites in 2011 for a total investment amount of € 43,5 million. In the third quarter of 2011, the average interest rate of the property investment fund amounts to approximately 4,5 % including bank margins (4,6 %). For the first nine months of 2011 the average interest rate amounts to 4,7 % including bank margins.
On 30 September 2011, 68 % of the available credit lines are long-term financings with an average remaining duration of 3,9 years. 32 % of the available credit lines are short-term financings with 2 % consisting of financings with an unlimited duration progressing each time for 364 days (€ 7,5 million) and 30 % of credit facilities which must be extended or repaid for a total amount of € 90 million spread over two financial institutions. Agreements regarding refinancing for a credit amount of € 50 million have already been received from the same financial institutions as the original bankers and the credit facility documentation is currently drafted. At two other financial institutions credit facility requests are also on-going for an amount of € 30 million at market rates.
On 30 September 2011, 78 % of the withdrawn credit lines have a fixed interest rate or are fixed by interest rate swaps. In order to assure the further protection its operating results against fluctuations Intervest Offices & Warehouses has concluded in the third quarter of 2011 three forward interest rate swaps to hedge a credit facility amount of € 30 million at an average rate of 2,29 % with durations of 5 and 6 years starting on 1 January 2012. Herewith the interest rates on the credit facilities of the property investment fund are fixed for an average remaining duration of 2,7 years.
The changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (ineffective hedges - IAS 39) comprise the changes of the market value of interest rate swaps which, in accordance with IAS 39, cannot be classified as hedging instrument, for an amount of - € 3,1 million (- € 0,2 million).
For the third quarter of 2011, the net result of Intervest Offices & Warehouses amounts to € 1,9 million (€ 6,7 million) and can be divided in:
On 30 September 2011 the debt ratio of the property investment fund increases by 3 % compared to 30 June 2011 and amounts to 49,9 % (calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of 7 December 2010) through the acquisition of logistic sites in Houthalen and Oevel.

For the first nine months of 2011, the operating distributable result of Intervest Offices & Warehouses decreases by 29 % or € 6,6 million to € 16,1 million (€ 22,7 million) mainly as a result of:
Through the change of the valuation rule for early terminated lease contract the operating distributable result, as shown in the statutory annual accounts of the property investment fund, has to be adjusted in order to determine the distributable gross dividend (per share).
| Gross dividend in thousands € | 30.09.2011 | 30.09.2010 |

For the first nine months of 2011, the income statement gives an operating distributable result of € 1,16 compared to € 1,63 for the same period of prior year. After the adaptation resulting from the change in valuation rule this represents for the first nine months of 2011 an operating distributable result per share of € 1,33 compared to € 1,44 or a decrease of 8 %.
For the first nine months of 2011, the fair value of the real estate portfolio of the property investment fund increases by € 52 million and amounts on 30 September 2011 to € 579 million (€ 527 million on 31 December 2010). This increase in fair value is the combined effect of:
| 30.09.2011 | 31.12.20108 | 30.09.20109 |

| 13.907.267 | 13.907.267 | 13.907.267 |

| 21,28 | 21,75 | 21,23 |
| 19,51 | 23,49 | 22,99 |
| -4 % | 13 % | 14 % |
On 30 September 2011, the net asset value (fair value) of the share is € 20,31. As the share price on 30 September 2011 of the Interest Offices & Warehouses' share (INTO) is € 19,51, the share is quoted on 30 September 2011 with a discount of 4 % compared to the net asset value (fair value).
The signs of recovery noticed in the first half-year of 2011, are carefully confirmed in the third quarter of 2011, although traditionally the summer holiday period is quieter than the other quarters.
The main focus remains on the letting of some (fully or partially) vacant buildings. Namely for the offices special efforts have to be made on the level of rents by granting reductions, incentives, etc but the profiling of Intervest Offices & Warehouses as provider of real estate solutions (design of offices by our own interior architect) proves to be fruitful. Besides, particular attention is given to the level of common charges paid by tenants, through the renegotiation of some central contracts with contractors (electricity, cleaning, window cleaning, technical maintenance, etc.). As from 2012 this will have a clear impact on the level of the common charges paid by tenants, making the "total cost" (rent and charges) of the buildings of Intervest Offices & Warehouses more attractive.
In the third quarter of 2011 Intervest Offices & Warehouses let to Galapagos in Intercity Business Park, Generaal de Wittelaan 21 in Malines, a part of the office space and laboratories that were formerly let to Tibotec-Virco in 2010. This way, Intervest Offices & Warehouses can increase the expected gross dividend for the financial year 2011 compared to the estimate in the half-yearly report on 30 June 2011 (between € 1,55 and € 1,65 per share).
Except for unexpected evolutions, such as important bankruptcies of tenants or unforeseen rental increases, Intervest Offices & Warehouses expects to be able to propose its shareholders for the financial year 2011 a gross dividend between € 1,65 and € 1,73 per share (€ 1,83 for the financial year 2010). Based on the closing share price on 30 September 2011 (€ 19,51) this represents a gross dividend yield between 8,5 % and 8,9 %.
