Increase of operating distributable result: 16 % for the first nine months of 20121; 10 % in the third quarter of 20122
Slight decrease in fair value of the real estate portfolio: - 0,1 % for the first nine months of 20123

Lease contract with PwC in Woluwe Garden prolonged for 9 years till end 2021 (approximately 10 % of the rental income of the property investment fund)
Planned redevelopment of two logistics sites in 2013 for a total investment amount of approximately € 7 million for tenants Estée Lauder, UTi Belgium and Peugeot
Intervest Offices & Warehouses has prolonged in October 2012 the lease contract with its largest tenant PwC for the office building Woluwe Garden, located in Sint-Stevens-Woluwe. The lease contract, for a space of 21.272 m², has been concluded for a fixed period of 9 years from 1 January 2013 till 31 December 2021. This tenant currently represents approximately 10 % of the rental income of the property investment fund.
This lease contract ensures a long term future rental income to the property investment fund in the very competitive Brussels office area Diegem-Zaventem where vacancy reaches summits of 20 % and more. As a result of this prolongation, the annual rental income of the property investment fund will decrease by approximately € 1,2 million or € 0,09 per share as from the financial year 2013.
As this prolongation is a post-balance sheet event, the effect on the fair value of investment properties is not yet recorded in the figures as at 30 September 2012. The property investment fund estimates that the fair value of this building will decrease in the fourth quarter of 2012 by € 10 to € 12 million, resulting in € 0,70 to € 0,85 per share on the net asset value (fair value).
In the third quarter of 2012 Intervest Offices & Warehouses put further steps forwards to the extension and improvement of its logistic real estate portfolio:
The total estimated budget for the extension amounts to € 3,3 to € 3,8 million. This transaction will generate for the property investment fund as from the third quarter of 2013 an additional annual rental income of approxi-
third quarter of 2013 till 31 December 2023.
mately € 0,3 million. The financing of this investment will be funded from the existing credit lines of the property investment fund.
Simultaneously the existing lease contracts for the warehouses are prolonged with Estée Lauder as well as UTi Belgium till 31 December 2023, being a prolongation of respectively 4,5 and 6 years of the existing lease contracts. This prolongation of the lease contracts leads in the third quarter of 2012 to an increase in fair value of this logistic site by € 3,1 million.
In July 2012 the property investment fund obtained an agreement in principle with French car builder Peugeot (group PSA) for the renovation/conversion to a showroom and a workshop of the front part of the logistic building Neerland 1 in Wilrijk (located Boomsesteenweg next to IKEA), and this for the replacement of the current branch of Peugeot Antwerpen, located Karel Oomsstraat in Antwerp.
The transaction includes a built-up surface area of approximately 5.000 m² on a ground area of nearly 11.000 m² (including parking spaces). The other part of the building (the rear) and the building Neerland 2 maintain their logistic activities.
In this framework the property investment fund will conclude an opertional lease for 15 years with Peugeot, whereby the latter will have a purchase option at market value at the end of the contract.
The total estimated budget for the renovation/ conversion amounts approximately to € 3,3 million. The transaction will generate for the property investment fund as from the fourth quarter of 2013 an annual rental income of approximately € 0,6 million. The financing of this investment will be funded from the existing credit lines of the property investment fund.
The agreement is concluded under the suspending condition of obtaining the necessary permits.
On 30 September 2012, the total occupancy rate of the real estate portfolio of Intervest Offices & Warehouses amounts to 85 % (86 % at 30 June 2012):
In the third quarter of 2012, the fair value of investment properties of Intervest Offices & Warehouses has decreased by € 1 million compared to the fair value on 30 June 2012 and amounts on 30 September 2012 to € 594 million (€ 595 million on 30 June 2012). This evolution of the real estate properties in the third quarter of 2012 results from:

| Fair value of investment properties (€ 000) | 593.980 | 594.824 | 581.305 | 578.696 |

| Total leasable space (m²) | 638.720 | 638.720 | 627.096 | 609.475 |
4 The occupancy rate is calculated as the ratio of the commercial rental income to the same rental income plus the estimated rental value of the vacant locations for rent. The commercial rental income is the contractual rental income and the rental income of already signed lease contracts regarding locations which are contractually vacant on balance sheet date.

The operating distributable result of Intervest Offices & Warehouses has increased in the first nine months of 2012 by 16 % or € 2,5 million to € 18,6 million (€ 16,1 million for the first nine months of 2011).
This improved result comes mainly from:
This means that the operating distributable result per share for the first nine months of 2012 amounts to € 1,31 compared to € 1,16 for the same period of previous year. In 2011 however, an increase of the operating distributable result of € 0,17 per share has occured due to the amended valuation rule for early terminated lease contracts.
For the financial year 2012, this amended valuation rule still has a limited positive effect of € 0,01 per share. After adaption of the operating distributable result as shown in the statutory annual accounts of the property investment fund, this means for the first nine months of 2012 an operating distributable result per share of € 1,32 compared to € 1,33 for the same period of 2011.

୭ on the other hand, the decrease in fair value of the office portfolio by € 2,7 million or 0,7 % compared to the fair value on 31 December 2011, as a result mainly of the adjustment of the estimated rental values for the offices in the Brussels periphery, partly compensated by the increase in value of Intercity Business Park in Malines through additional lettings to Biocartis.

On 30 September 2012, the net asset value (fair value) of the share is € 19,70. As the share price of Intervest Offices & Warehouses (INTO) on 30 September 2012 is € 17,55, the share is listed at a discount of 11 % compared to the net asset value (fair value).
The debt ratio5 of the property investment fund amounts on 30 September 2012 to 51,2 % compared to 52,1 % on 30 June 2012 (calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of 7 December 2010).
On 30 September 2012, 85 % of the available credit lines of the property investment fund are long-term financings, with an average remaining period of 3,0 years. 15 % of the available credit lines are short-term financings, of which 14 % consists of financings with unlimited duration progressing each time for 364 or 30 days and 1 % being an instalment on an investment credit facility. The next maturity date of a credit facility of the property investment fund is only in December 2013 (€ 10 million), which means that the property investment fund currently does not need to carry out any major refinancing of its credit portfolio.
On 30 September 2012, Intervest Offices & Warehouses has € 28 million non-withdrawn credit lines at financial institutions for counterbalancing the fluctuations in liquidity needs of the property investment fund.

For the third quarter of 2012, the rental income of Intervest Offices & Warehouses increases by € 0,4 million to € 10,3 million (€ 9,9 million) as a result mainly of the acquisition of the second distribution center in Oevel in May 2012 and the letting to Nike as from September 2011 in Herentals Logistics 2.
The property management costs and income are € 0,9 million lower in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 (an income of € 0,8 million). This item included in 2011 the profit taking of compensations for rental charges (received from Tibotec-Virco) and of received refurbishment fees.
6 Between brackets comparable fi gures of the third quarter 2011 (01.07.2011 - 30.09.2011).
For the third quarter of 2012, the property charges amount to € 1,2 million (€ 1,3 million). This decrease by approximately € 0,2 million comes mainly from lower vacancy costs through the renovation of Herentals Logistics 1, partly compensated by the increase of the costs for maintenance and repair for roof renovations.
The general costs amount to € 0,4 million (€ 0,3 million) in the third quarter of 2012 through increased costs for personnel and advice.
In the third quarter of 2012 the changes in fair value of investment properties are limited to - € 0,3 million (- € 0,5 million).
The financial result (excl. change in fair value - IAS 39) amounts to - € 2,8 million (- € 3,3 million). Despite higher credit facility withdrawals resul ting from real estate acquisitions realised in 2011 and 2012 the net interest charges of the property investment fund decrease by € 0,4 million due to new interest rate swaps at lower interest rates as well as to the further decrease of the interest rates on the financial market. The average interest rate for the property investment fund for the third quarter of 2012 is approximately 3,7 %, inclu ding bank margins (4,5 %).
The changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities (ineffective hedges - IAS 39) include the changes in market value of interest rate swaps that, in line with IAS 39, cannot be classified as cash flow hedging instruments, in the amount of - € 1,0 million (- € 3,1 million).
The operating distributable result for the third quarter of 2012 amounts to € 5,8 million (€ 5,2 million) or an increase by approximately € 0,5 million or 10 %. This result is derived primarily from an increase in rental income of the property investment fund following acquisitions and lettings realised in 2011 and 2012, from a decrease of property charges and from lower financing costs of the property investment fund.
This generates per share for the third quarter of 2012 an operating distributable result of € 0,41 (€ 0,38).
Except for unexpected evolutions, such as important bankruptcies of tenants or unforeseen increases of interest rates, Intervest Offices & Warehouses estimates to be able to propose its shareholders a gross dividend per share between € 1,73 and € 1,78 (€ 1,73 for the financial year 2011). This represents a gross dividend yield between 9,8 % and 10,1 %, based on the closing share price on 30 September 2012 (€ 17,55).
