OPERATING MARGIN OF 83.6%
OCCUPANCY RATE OF 96.6%
AVERAGE LEASE CONTRACT TERM OF 5.1 YEARS

Summary
• Montea's net operating result was EUR 6.71 million (EUR 1.02 per share), an increase of 21.9% (+EUR 1.21 million) compared with EUR 5.51 million in the same period last year (EUR 0.98 per share) 1 .
The 21.9% rise was the result of the 18.7% (+ EUR 1.50 million) increase in the operating property result before the result on the property portfolio (operating margin), while the net financial cost rose by only 11.9% (+EUR 0.30 million).
The operating margin increased to 83.6% compared with 81.4%2 for the same period last year.
The average debt burden rose by 18.6% (EUR 22.9 million), while the financial result increased by only 11.9%. As a result, the average financial cost fell to 3.68% during the first six months.
• Montea signed 2 major lease agreements. In France, Montea and Le Piston Français signed a long-term lease agreement for 12 years and 8 months for the final available warehouse space of 8,850 m² at the site in Savigny-le-Temple. In Belgium, a lease agreement for a term of 9 years was signed with Geodis at the Brucargo site in Zaventem.
These leases generate an annual rental revenue of EUR 647K.
• The fair value of the property portfolio was EUR 305.3 million. During the first six months of 2013, the fair value of the property portfolio rose by EUR 13.7 million, mainly as a result of the acquisition of the shares in 2 companies (which includes the newly developed distribution center for DSV Solutions and the newly developed platform at Brucargo for St. Jude Medical) with a fair property value of EUR 16.8 million and the sale of the site in Laken.
The occupancy rate was 96.6%3 , hence remaining above the target level of 95%. The average lease term was 5.1 years (until their first break). Montea is seeking to achieve an average term of 6 years.
- Partly as the result of investments in the first half of 2013, which were financed by debt, the debt ratio rose to 53.2%.
- For the 2013 financial year, Montea expects to see a further increase in its net operating result of approximately 17% to EUR 13.2 million. Because the number of shares with entitlements in the results has risen by approximately 17%, Montea expects to achieve a result of EUR 2.00 per share for the 2013 year.
1 Taking into account that the number of shares entitled to share in the capital rose from 5,634,125 to 6,587,896 (+17%), the net operating result per share rose by 4% (EUR 1.02 per share for the first half of 2013, compared to EUR 0.98 per share for the first half
of 2012). 2 The operating margin for the first half of 2012 was 84.2%, but this was affected by one-off items of revenue. Without these one-off
items, the operating margin was 81.4%. 3 This occupancy rate is calculated based on the m² occupied in relation to the total m². In this case, neither the numerator or the denominator has been taken into account with the m² in development.

1.2 Evolution, events and transactions during the first half of 2013 in Belgium and France
1.2.1 Net operating result4 was EUR 6.71 million (EUR 1.02 per share), an increase of 21.9% compared with the same period last year – Montea is on course to achieve a net operating result of EUR 2.00 per share
The net operating result was EUR 6.71 million (EUR 1.02 per share) during the first half of 2013, a rise of 21.9% (+EUR 1.20 million) compared with EUR 5.51 million during the same period last year (EUR 0.98 per share).
This increase of EUR 1.20 million is due to:
- the EUR 1.50 million rise in the property result on the property portfolio, defined by:
- o the EUR 1.87 million increase in the net rental income, generated in the main by the rental income from new investments in the second half of last year (St-Laurent-Blangy and St-Martin-de-Crau in France / DHL Brucargo in Belgium) and in the first half of 2013 (St Jude Medical, Brucargo in Belgium)
- o the EUR 0.36 million increase in property charges, general company overheads and other operating costs and income, defined mainly by the strengthening of the operating and the commercial team;
- a EUR 0.30 million rise in net financial charges caused by the greater loan burden.
Based on the result for the first half of the year of EUR 6.71 million, forthcoming net revenue for projects acquired and taking account of an estimate of possible renewals for certain contracts and the leasing of existing vacancies, Montea is on course to achieve a net operating result of approximately EUR 13.2 million (+17%) or EUR 2.00 per share (taking account of the fact that the number of shares with entitlements in the result rose by approximately 17%).

The fair value of the investment in solar panels is stated in section "D" of the fixed assets in the balance sheet.
- Increase in the fair value of the property investments (buildings) to EUR 297.6 million, which was a slight rise of EUR 14.0 million (4.9%) compared with 31/12/2012. This was the result of:
- − a sale convention of shares of a recently developed distribution centre for St Jude Medical at Brucargo (Zaventem – Belgium) to the value of EUR 6.1 million;
- − a sale convention of shares of a new logistics platform for DSV in the port of Ghent to the value of EUR 10.7 million;
- − the sale of the site in Laken (EUR 2.1 million);
- − the negative variation of EUR 0.7 million9 in the fair value of the property, defined mainly by taking into account vacancies caused by a limited number of impending break dates.
- The total area of property investments (buildings) is 543,175 m², spread across 18 sites in Belgium and 15 sites in France. The increase in area (543,175 m² compared with 514,767 m² at 31st December 2012) is attributable to the acquisition of the shares in Acer Parc NV for a recently developed distribution centre at Brucargo of 9,683 m² (leased to St. Jude Medical) and the acquisition of the shares in Evenstuk NV for a new logistics platform if 24,150 m² in the port of Ghent (leased to DSV Solutions).
- The first half of the year also saw the divestment of the site in Laken, resulting in a profit of EUR 0.53 million.
9 The negative variation in the fair value of the property is EUR 0.7 million. This is the variation between the fair value of the property at 30/06/2013 compared to the same fair value of 31/12/2012. This is not equal to the changes in the fair value of the property in the profit and loss account (value of EUR 1.6 million) as the result on the profit and loss account also takes into account the investments during the period.
- Montea also owns a total land bank of 90,500 m² with development potential at existing sites.
- In addition, the fair value of the property investments assuming unchanged composition (without taking account of the new investments described above), based on the valuation of the independent property assessor, fell by EUR 0.7 during the first half of the year. This reduction is the result of taking into account the impending vacancies at the sites in Herentals (Belgium) and Roissy-en-France (France).
- The gross property yield on total property investments (buildings) was 8.51%, based on a fully leased portfolio, compared with 8.25% at 31/12/2012.
- Contractual annual rental income (excluding rental guarantees) was EUR 24.24 million, an increase of 7.1% compared with 31/12/2012. This is attributable to the acquisition of the shares in the 2 companies mentioned above, which include 2 premises yielding total gross rents of EUR 1.6 million.
- The occupancy rate10 was 96.6%. Partly due to the potential additional vacancy at the site of Herentals, the occupancy rate can go down to 94% in the second half of the year. Through active commercial management, Montea will strive to maintain its target of >95% occupancy rate at the end of the year.
- Total fair value of the property investments (solar panels) from the installation of solar panels at 4 sites in Belgium, representing a total investment value of EUR 6.4 million
- Montea has opted for solar energy through the installation of solar panels at 4 sites in Flanders (Puurs-Schoonmansveld, Bornem, Herentals and Grimbergen), representing a total investment value of EUR 6.4 million. These solar panels provide an additional estimated annual net income of approximately EUR 0.7 million generated mainly from the green power certificates with a fixed term of 20 years.
- Montea has also opted for solar energy by funding solar panels at 1 site in Wallonia (Coca-Cola Heppignies).
10 The occupancy rate is calculated based on the m² occupied in relation to the total m².

1.4.2 Notes to the abbreviated consolidated profit-and-loss account at 30/06/2013
The operating property result before the result on the property portfolio was EUR 9.51 million, a rise of 18.7%. The operating margin was 83.6%.
The operating property result before the result on the property portfolio was EUR 9.51 million, an increase of EUR 1.50 million or 18.7% compared with the same period last year.
This increase is the result of:
- an increase in the net rental income of EUR 1,867K:
- o the EUR 2,069K increase in rental income due to:
- income from the newly acquired sites in 2012 and 2013 amounting to EUR 1,753K (DHL at Brucargo, St Jude Medical at Brucargo and Geodis in Belgium; Saint-Martin-de-Crau and St-Laurent-Blangy in France);
- the loss of income from sites sold for EUR 143K (site at Berchem and Laken in Belgium);
- the loss of income caused by reaching the expiry dates for leases, amounting to EUR 327K (principally Parts Express at the site in Mechelen and Norbert Dentressangle at the site in Vorst);
- new contracts amounting to EUR 223K (DHL Freight in Mechelen, Galler in Milmort, Cegelec and Movianto in Erembodegem);
- the increase in income caused by indexation, generating EUR 241K;
- the severance compensation amounting to EUR 322K (Parts Express in Mechelen (Belgium) and Overseas in Roissy-en-France (France).
- o the increase in provisions for doubtful debtors, representing EUR 202K (a tenant at the site in Erembodegem).
- a rise in property charges, the part of rental charges not passed on and other rent-related charges, representing EUR 8K;
- a EUR 360K increase in the company's general overheads and other operating income and expenses; this rise is mainly the result of staffing costs incurred to strengthen the operating and commercial team.
As a result, the operating margin11 was 83.6% for the first half of 2013, compared with 84.2% for the same period last year.
Montea is making every effort to increase its operating margin to 85% and will achieve this in 2013 and 2014 through Montea's continued growth without any significant increase in the cost base.
11 The operating result before the result on the property portfolio with regard to the net rental income.
The net financial result was negative at EUR 2.78 million12, a rise of EUR 0.30 million (11.9%) compared with the same period last year. This was the result of the higher average debt burden brought about by investments made in the period 30/06/2012 to 30/06/2013
The net financial result was negative at EUR -2.78 million, which was 11.9% more than in the same period last year. This was mainly due to the average debt burden, which rose by 16.8% (from EUR 136.26 million to EUR 159.17 million at 30/06/2013) as the result of investments made.
As a consequence of the 16.8% increase in the average debt burden and the lesser rise in net financial costs, average financial charges fell to 3.68% in the first half of 2013.
Montea has opted to conduct a responsible business policy. As of 30/06/2013, its type IRS (Interest Rate Swap) interest rate hedging policies covered 100% of Montea's bank debt. These financial instruments guarantee cover for the current lines of credit.
On 28/06/2013, Montea proceeded to issue a bond loan for a nominal amount of EUR 30 million with a financial cost of 4.107%. It is clear that the financial charges in relation to this bond issue will have an effect on the financial results for the second half of 2013.
Taking account of the current lines of credit, hedging instruments, variable interest rates, bank margins and the bond issue on 28/06/2013, Montea is doing everything it can not to allow its financial charges to exceed 4%.
The result on the property portfolio was EUR -1.09 million
The result on the property portfolio was EUR -1.09 million at 30/06/2013. This negative result is attributable to:
- a profit achieved on the site in Laken;
- a negative variation of EUR 837K in the fair value of the Belgian portfolio, caused on the one hand by taking account of the approaching break date at the site in Herentals and, on the other, by a number of major investments amounting to EUR 776K;
- a negative variation of EUR 789K in the fair value of the French portfolio, caused on the one hand by taking account of the approaching break date at the site in Roissy-en-France and, on the other, because of the fair value of sites in France, which include the transaction charges after 5 years (under which these sites were subject to VAT until their fifth year of existence);
The unrealised gain in the valuation of the solar panels is stated in a separate component of the equity capital. Losses are also included in this component, except where they have been realised or if the fair value falls below the original cost.
12 The financial result of EUR -2,78 million excludes the variation of EUR -3.20 million in the fair value of the hedging instruments (see below in the abbreviated form of the profit-and-loss account).
The net result was EUR 10.23 million and is defined partly by the positive variation in the fair value of the hedging instruments (EUR 4.61 million)
The net result at 30/06/2013 was EUR 10.23 million (EUR 1.55 per share), compared with EUR -1.96 million for the same period in 2012 (EUR -0.55 per share). The result was affected significantly by the positive movement in the fair value of the hedging instruments (EUR +4.61 million) resulting from rising long-term interest rates.
It is clear that both the result on the property portfolio and the positive movement in the fair value of the hedging instruments are not cash items and have no impact whatsoever on the net operating result.
Net operating result of EUR 1.02 per share – On course to achieve a net operating result of EUR 2.00 per share for 2013
The net operating result at 30/06/2013 was EUR 6.71 million (EUR 1.02 per share), which is an increase of 21.9% compared with the same period last year (EUR 0.98 per share).
Based on the result for the first half of EUR 6.71 million, the forthcoming net revenue from the projects purchased and taking account of an estimated extension of some contracts and the leasing of the existing vacancies, Montea is on course to achieve a net operating result of EUR 13 million (+17%) or EUR 2.00 per share (taking account of the fact that the number of shares with entitlements in the result also rose by approximately 17%).

1.4.3 Abbreviated consolidated balance sheet at 30/06/2013
1.4.4 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet at 30/06/2013
- As of 30/06/2013, total assets (EUR 318.21 million) consisted mainly of investment property (93.0% of the total) and the solar panels (2.4% of the total). The remaining assets (4.6% of the total) are made up of other tangible and financial fixed assets and current assets including cash investments, trading and tax receivables.
- Total liabilities consisted of equity capital of EUR 126.88 million and total debt of EUR 191.34 million.
This total debt consists of:
- a total amount of EUR 128 million in drawn-down lines or credit with 4 Belgian financial institutions. EUR 20 million of the total debt to be refinanced in 2013 (EUR 30 million) has already been finalised. At the end of the first half of the year, Montea had a total of EUR 145 million in contracted lines of credit, of which EUR 128 million was drawn down;
- a total amount of EUR 29.54 million for the bond loan exercised by Montea on 28/06/2013;
- a total leasing debt of EUR 6.0 million for the continued financing of the sites in Milmort, Roissy-en-France and Orléans;
- the negative value of the current hedging instruments in the amount of EUR 14.70 million;
- other debts and accruals for an amount of EUR 13.1 million. The accruals are made up mainly of rents invoiced in advance for the next quarter.
- Montea's debt ratio13 was 53.2%. The rise in debt ratio compared with 31/12/2012 (51.3%) is attributable to the increase in the debt burden for the acquisition of the shares in Cordeel Evenstuk NV (for the premises leased to DSV Solutions).
Montea also complies with all covenants in terms of the debt ratio that it has agreed with its financial institutions, on the grounds of which Montea's debt ratio may not exceed 60%.
• Art. 54 of the Royal Decree of 7th December 2010
If the consolidated debt ratio of a public property trust and its subsidiaries is greater than 50% of its consolidated assets, minus the permitted financial hedging instruments, the public property trust is required to draw up a financial plan with an implementation schedule setting out details of the measures that will be taken to prevent the consolidated debt ratio amounting to more than 65% of the consolidated assets.
A special report will be drafted by the auditor about the financial plan confirming that the auditor has verified the way in which the plan has been drawn up, in particular in terms of its economic reasoning, and stating that the figures included in the plan correspond with those in the accounts of the public property trust. The financial plan and special report from the auditor are submitted to the FSMA by way of information.
The general guidelines of the financial plan are included in detail in the annual and six-monthly financial reports. In these reports it is set out and justified (a) how the financial plan will be implemented during the relevant period, and (b) how the public property trust will implement the plan in the future.
• Movements in the debt ratio at Montea
As of 30/06/2013, the consolidated debt ratio was 53.2%. Historically, the debt ratio is situated above 50% since the end of 2008, rising to its highest percentage of 57.6% in mid-2010. On 2nd July 2010, a capital raising was conducted, bringing the debt ratio down under 50%.
13 Calculated in accordance with the Royal Decree of 7th December 2010.
The debt ratio also rose to 55.3% in September 2012. On 20th December 2012, there was a further capital raising of EUR 21.1 million to fund the project for DHL Global forwarding at Brucargo. As a result, the debt ratio again fell to 50.8% in the first quarter of 2013.
Under the combined effects of the dividend payment, acquiring the shares in Evenstuk NV (for the premises leased to DSV Solutions) and the acquisition of their shares in Acer Parc NV (for the customised premises leased to St Jude Medical), the debt ratio had again risen to 53.2% at 30/06/2013.
The debt ratio has never risen to alarming heights, including during periods of financial crisis such as those that occurred at the end of 2008 and 2009.
• Future investment potential
Based on the current debt ratio, Montea's investment potential would be approximately EUR 107 million14 (an increase of 36%) without exceeding the maximum debt ratio of 65%.
Montea has signed covenants with a number of banking institutions under which the debt ratio may not be greater than 60%. In so doing and based on the same calculation, the investment potential is EUR 54 million.
Variations in the fair value of the property portfolio can also have a significant impact on the debt ratio. Based on current equity capital, the maximum permitted debt ratio of 65% would only be exceeded if there were a negative variation in the fair value of Montea's property investments in excess of EUR 58 million. This corresponds with a fall in the existing portfolio of almost 19.5%.
Based on the current state of affairs and the valuation of the portfolio by the independent assessor, Montea can also not see any substantial possible negative variations in the fair value. As a result, Montea also believes that the current debt ratio of 53.2% provides a sufficient buffer to accommodate any possible further negative variations in the existing portfolio.
• Conclusion
Montea is of the opinion that its debt ratio will not rise above 65% and that no additional measures need to be taken based on the planned changes to the composition of the property portfolio and any expected changes to its equity capital.
The aim continues to be to finance the company with a debt ratio of approximately 55%. Montea will monitor matters to ensure that it never has a debt ratio of more than 60%.
A debt ratio of 55% is perfectly justifiable given the nature of the property in which Montea invests, i.e. logistical and semi-industrial premises with an average yield of approximately 8%.
14 This calculation does not take account either of the net operating result for the periods ahead and variations in the fair value of the property investments, or of any variations in accruals and deferred taxes in the liabilities.
Should a situation occur in which certain events might require the property investment trust to adjust its strategy, it would then do so immediately and notify the shareholders accordingly in its half-yearly and annual financial reporting.
The net asset value at 30/06/2013 was EUR 19.24 per share. If no account is taken of the net negative variation in the fair value of the hedging instruments (IAS 39), the net asset value is EUR 21.48 per share.

Based on the closing price on 30/06/2013 (EUR 29.21), Montea shares were 36% above the value of the net assets per share (excl. IAS39).
1.4.5 Valuation rules
- The valuation rules for the property investment trust did not change in the course of the first half of 2013.
- As of 30/06/2013, the solar panels were valued based on the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 – Tangible fixed assets. After the initial entry, the assets whose fair value can be reliably established must be recorded at their revalued value, i.e. the fair value at the time of the revaluation, minus any write-downs accumulated later and any extraordinary reductions in value and losses accumulated later. The fair value is defined based on the discounting method of future returns.
The service life of the solar panels is estimated at 20 years.
In preparing this half-yearly financial report, an analysis was made of all IFRS and IAS standards which relate to the preparation of this half-yearly financial report. Montea confirms that all IFRS and IAS standards were taken into account in the preparation of this half-yearly financial report.

1.6 Events after 30/06/2013
August 2013 – Finalisation of the purchase with Office Depot of the logistics platform in Mechelen15
In 2012, Montea and Office Depot signed a collaborative agreement in relation to the purchase of a logistics platform in Puurs Montea becomes the owner of the platform during the 3th quarter. Office Depot pays Montea a rental guarantee of 9 months. The building is situated on a plot of land of 30,600 m² and contains modern warehousing space of approximately 12,000 m² and office space of approximately 1,500 m². The site is particularly well situated in the Pullaar logistics zone, with fast connections with both the A12 Brussels/Antwerp motorway and the N16 arterial road towards the E17 motorway.
Montea is investing in this property based on an initial yield of 8.15%.
15 For more information, please refer to the press release dated 29/05/2012 or visit www.montea.com.
1.7 Information regarding the pending court case – Agreement to include certain buildings in the investment trust following the IPO
In 2006, the company signed a number of agreements that would enable certain buildings to be brought into the investment trust by way of a merger or other transaction. These agreements were subject to a number of suspensive conditions, mainly in relation to compliance with planning requirements, which had to be met prior to 31st March 2007.
Montea has reported previously that a third party served a writ on Montea in 2008, because that party believed it was entitled to the inclusion of certain buildings by way of a merger or other transaction. Montea had rejected this inclusion because it was of the opinion, based on objective elements, that the contractual conditions in the matter had not been met. Subsequent to this, the party in question lodged a EUR 5.4 million claim for compensation against Montea. Montea believes that this claim is unfounded.
In its decision handed down on 28th April 2009, the commercial tribunal in Brussels found in favour of Montea. However, in the ruling dated 21st February 2012, received by Montea on 29th February 2012, the court of appeal in Brussels found partly in favour of the other party and awarded it compensation of EUR 961K in principal. Given that this ruling was enforceable, Montea proceeded to make payment.
Following a decision by the Montea Board of Directors, an appeal in cassation has been lodged against the ruling. A statement on the matter is expected from the Court of Cassation by the end of 2013 or the beginning of 2014.
1.8 Transactions with associated parties
There were no transactions between associated parties in the first six months of 2013.
1.9 Main risks, uncertainties and outlook
1.9.1 Main risks and uncertainties
Montea's management and Board of Directors monitor the risks facing Montea at all times. Management has outlined a prudential policy that will be applied if required16. This report contains a non-exhaustive list of risks. This means that there may be other risks, hitherto unknown and/or improbable, that could have an unfavourable effect on Montea's business and financial position.
The main risks and uncertainties for the remaining months of the financial year are focused on:
Risks associated with leases
Given the type of buildings, which are leased in the main to international and national companies, Montea's property portfolio is sensitive to the economic climate to a certain extent. However, in the short term no immediate risks have been identified that might have a fundamental effect on the results for the 2013 financial year, with the exception of the impending vacancy at the site in Herentals.
16 For more information about Montea's strategy, please refer to the annual report. If necessary, the policy implemented by Montea will be adjust to reflect the risk factors set out.
Risks associated with the ageing of the buildings
Montea maintains and refurbishes its buildings on a regular basis to ensure they remain attractive to tenants. The current trends towards greater sustainability and energy-savings, both in the way the buildings are constructed and used, may involve additional investment costs.
Risks associated with the value of the property portfolio
In view of the persistently difficult economic climate and the fact that changes in the value of the buildings depends to a large extent on the leasing situation (occupancy rate, rental income, etc.), there remains a certain level of uncertainty as to movements in the value of the buildings into the future.
With this in mind, Montea is currently conducting a detailed Lifecycle Analysis on each building in which the long-term growth in value is a central theme. If this analysis shows that no long-term value can be created in some cases, these buildings will be place on the list of divestments.
Montea's property assets are valued every quarter by an independent property assessor. A 1% movement in the value of our property assets represents an impact of some EUR 3 million on the net result and EUR 0.46 on the intrinsic value per share. It would also affect the debt ratio by approximately 0.5%.
Solvency risk of tenants
Montea is exposed to the risk that its tenants may not be able to comply with their obligations. There are clear and efficient control mechanisms in place within Montea in terms of debtor risk designed to limit any such possibility.
All rents are paid in advance and all tenants are required to lodge a bank guarantee of at least 3 months.
Liquidity and financing risk
The diversification of finance sources, stable bank relations and an evenly balanced spread of loan maturity dates help promote suitable financial terms for operating. In contracting external sources of funding, Montea is also restricted by the maximum debt ratio that the regulations allow property investment trusts and the loan-to-value covenants that it enters into with its banks in the credit documentation. Montea's debt ratio was 53.2% on 30th June 2013. This ratio calculated according to the property investment trust system and is well below the established maximum ratio of 65%.
The maximum debt ratio agreed with the banks is 60%. Montea has a medium-term financial plan in place that is adjusted each year and during the year whenever any significant property acquisition or sale occurs. More specifically, this plan is designed to set an appropriate level for Montea's consolidated debt ratio under the regulations.
Rate risk
With the exception of the recently completed bond loan, Montea enters into all of its financial debts at a variable interest rate. To protect its finance charges against interest rate rises, derivative hedging instruments have been put in place. More specifically, these instruments include Interest Rate Swaps.
Based on its level of indebtedness at 30/06/2013, Montea currently has a net financial burden of approximately EUR 5.4 million (excluding interest on the bond loan, which will not affect the result until the second half of the year). The annual financial charge associated with the bond loan is approximately EUR 1.2 million.
Based on the existing hedging instruments and a constant level of debt, a 1% rise or fall in the interest rate would alter the funding cost by EUR 0.1 million (1.9% of the total financing charge) for the whole year.
The derivative instruments on interest rates are assessed at their market value at the end of each quarter. This means that any future rate fluctuations will have an effect on the net asset value, as well as on the result for the period.
1.9.2 Outlook
Economic climate
Montea's business is affected to a certain extent by the overall economic climate. Lower economic growth can have an indirect effect on the occupancy rate, as well as on rental income. This may also increase the risk of some tenants being unable to comply with their obligations.
This risk is mitigated partly at Montea by the diversification of its income streams (e.g. solar panels), its geographical diversification (Belgium and France) and signing leases for longer terms with top-quality tenants from different sectors.
Specific outlook for Montea
• Occupancy rate
The occupancy rate on 30th June 2012 was 96.6%. Due to the possible vacancy at the site of Herentals and Roissy-en-France, the occupancy rate decrease to 94% at the end of the year 2013. By active commercial policy Montea will strive to maintain its target of >95% occupancy by the end of the year.
• (Re)financing
During the first half of 2013, EUR 20 million of the total bank debt due to mature of EUR 30 million was refinanced. Montea is currently examining other additional lines of credit. As part of this (re)financing process, our main focus is on:
- − diversifying with various banks;
- − spreading the term for the bank debts (short-term vs. long-term);
- − the total cost of funding;
- − the covenants with each bank.
- Net operating result
Based on the result for the first six months of the year of EUR 6.71 million, as well as future net income from the projects acquired and taking account of the estimated renewal rate of certain leases and the leasing of current vacancies, Montea is on course to achieve a net operating result of approximately EUR 13.2 million (+17%) or EUR 2,00 per share (taking account of the fact that the number of shares with entitlements in the results has risen by about 17%).
1.10 Corporate social responsibility (Art. 88, Act of 3th August 2012)
Pursuant to article 88 of the Act of 3th August 2012 regarding certain forms of collective management of investment portfolios, Montea informs that all developments, refurbishments and new-build projects carried out are subject to an in-depth study, in order to help Montea to keep their impact on the local surroundings and the environment to a minimum.
1.11 Declaration relating to compliance with specific covenants regarding the bond issue
Pursuant to article 5.11 of the issuance conditions regarding the bond issue of 28th June 2013, Montea will make a statement in its consolidated annual and half-yearly figures regarding compliance with specific covenants imposed in article 5.10 of the issuance conditions.
Montea declares that:

Attachment 6: Report from the independent property assessor
REPORT FROM THE INDEPENDENT PROPERTY ASSESSOR
- Establishment of value Establishing the value of the various investment items in the portfolio was supported by the following methods: the rental value capitalisation method and the income approximation method based on a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model, with a test of the unit prices obtained.
- Movements in value The Fair Value in accordance with IAS40 moved on an annual basis at 31/12/2012 from EUR 283,678,000 to EUR 297,642,000 at 30/06/2013. This Fair Value of EUR 297,642,000 corresponds with an investment value EUR 309,696,000 with no additional costs payable by the purchaser.
The initial yield (the rental income taken into consideration compared with the investment value) of the full portfolio was 7.8%.
Assets Current assets are ±491,844 m² of warehousing and ±51,331 m² of office space, making a total area of 543,175 m². This space is situated at 33 sites, of which 15 are in France. Three premises in Belgium (Grimbergen, Brucargo 831 and Ghent Evenstuk) are situated on land held in concession. The portfolio's increase in market value compared with 31/12/2012 is mainly the result of the acquisition of the Brucargo 831 and Ghent Evenstuk sites. The site at Laken was also sold.
Apart from the 15 sites in France, Montea's current properties are mainly located within Flanders. Three buildings (Brucargo 830 & 831 and Vorst) are in the Brussels Capital Region, with another three in Wallonia, at Milmort, Nivelles and Heppignies. Of the 15 sites in France, seven are situated in the Paris region (Savigny-le-Temple and Roissy, Bondoufle, Le Mesnil Amelot, Alfortville) and seven others in the provinces (Lyon and Saint-Priest, Cambrai and Arras, Feuquières-en-Vimeu, Orléans/Saint-Cyr-en-Val and Marseille).
Rental income The actual rental income is calculated after property tax has been deducted if this cost is borne by the owner and only in a few cases is it viewed as rental income until the next due date if there are any rent discounts or if the rent is not contractually constant.
This annual rental income was EUR 24,240,103 per annum at 30/06/2013.
The amounts of rent stated are net rental income, separate from additional payments for municipal charges and any insurance premiums.
The occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, calculated on the basis of floor area, is ± 96.6%.
