DEVELOPMENTS

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Sale office building Royal20 in Luxembourg

In the second quarter of 2016 the office building Royal 20 was completed upon schedule. This successful realisation is a perfect example of the daring and calculated entrepreneurship of Leasinvest Immo Lux (100% subsidiary of Leasinvest Real Estate) to turn the old Hotel Rix into a new office and landmark building on the Boulevard Royal. The magnetism of this diamond-shaped new office building designed by the renowned French architectural firm Christian de Portzamparc will become a strong architectural reference for the City of Luxembourg.

BREEAM: very good or excellent (to be confirmed)
Year of construction: 2016
4,743 m² offices
Occupancy rate (2016): 100%
Total investment: € 35 million

Occupancy rate 97.5%

Rental income € 28.4 million

EPRA Net asset value per share € 80.0

Net current result +34%

Redevelopment retail park Strassen

The successful retail site located Route d'Arlon in Strassen, comprising 22,721 m², is being partially redeveloped into a retail park concept that will, besides the shops, a/o include a restaurant.

The redevelopment takes place in 2 phases in order to take into account the current tenants Adler Mode, Bâtiself and Roller, with regard to road works and redevelopment of the parking. The first phase will be completed end 2017. For phase 2 the reception is foreseen in 2020.

This site will be the largest retail park in the Luxembourg periphery at the entrance of the city of Luxembourg.

Year of construction: 1988

Occupancy rate (2016): 100% Total investment: € 13.4 million

22,721 m² shops

Belgium

Redevelopment office building Montoyer 63 in Brussels CBD

This building, still leased to the European Parliament until end October 2016, will be entirely demolished and will comprise 6,052 m2 state-of-the-art office space. Montoyer 63 is located in the Leopold district, amidst the European institutions, where there is currently a lack of new high-quality office buildings. The urban permit has been granted at the beginning of 2016 and the objective is to obtain a BREEAM 'excellent' certificate for this building at reception, foreseen in Q3 2018.

For this building, a usufruct agreement was concluded on 27/04/2016, for a fixed and irrevocable term of 21 years, with the European Parliament, that will enter into force as of the reception of the building in 2018 (see below).

BREEAM: excellent (objective for 2018) Year of construction: reconstruction by 2018 6,052 m² offices Occupancy rate: 100%

Total investment: € 16.9 million

Redevelopment Square de Meeûs in Brussels CBD

The demolition works for the office building Square de Meeûs that became vacant as of Q2 2015 have started in the meanwhile. Square de Meeûs benefits from a unique location in the heart of the Brussels' Leopold district (CBD), which is still the best office location in Belgium. Due to the scarcity in new quality buildings we are very optimistic about potential candidate-tenants for this building. This building of 5,936 m2 will be entirely demolished and rebuilt as an AAA building that will meet the highest quality standards as to technology and sustainability (BREEAM 'excellent' certificate expected).

The urban permit for this project has been delivered in January 2016 and the foreseen reception of the new building is planned for the second quarter of 2017.

BREEAM: excellent (objective for 2017)
Year of construction: reconstruction by 2017
5,936 m² offices
Total investment: € 17.8 million

"Leasinvest Real Estate wishes to deliver high-quality and sustainable buildings tenants can identify with and that allow them to differentiate themselves. Towards the community and the real estate market we wish to confirm our role as a creative real estate investor."

DIVESTMENTS

The building is entirely let following a rental contract concluded end-2014.

Belgium

Sale to an end user of the building Zeutestraat Malines

On 17/06/2016 the notarial deed for the sale of the building Zeutestraat in Malines was passed, based on which the building was sold to an end user for € 4.5 million, which is not lower than the fair value. This relates to a storage building with office space with a total surface of 7,363 m2 . This sale fits within the scope of divesting non-strategic buildings.

1 For more information on the future sale, see press releases of 20/04/2015, 18/02/2016

and 17/05/2016. 2 The agreed upon value takes into account the provisions of article 40 §1 of the law of 12 May 2014 with regard to RREC.

"Leasinvest Real Estate is proud of having completed the office building Royal20, as it is one of our most important realisations, and the best example of the way in which the company creates value, not only for its shareholders, but also for the environment in general."

LEASES

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Extension of rental contract Strassen

On 17/03/2016 the current rental contract with sitting tenant Roller was extended for a fixed term of 15 years in our retail site of 22,721 m² at the route d'Arlon in Strassen, that will be redeveloped into a retail park concept, and that will comprise, besides shops, a/o a restaurant (see above).

Rental breaks

In 2016 10.6% (€ 6.1 million) of the contractual rents of the real estate portfolio expired. On 30 June 2016 the largest part of these expiring contracts has been renewed, or new tenants were found for those surfaces at conditions in line with market standards. At 30/06/2016 the part expiring in 2016 only amounts to 2.5% of the total portfolio (expiring amount 30/06/2016 reduced to € 1.4 million - see real estate report).

Belgium

Usufruct agreement concluded with European Parliament for to be redeveloped Montoyer 63 building in Brussels CBD

This agreement will enter into force as of the reception of the building, foreseen in the third quarter of 2018.

INDEX INCLUSION

Inclusion of the Leasinvest Real Estate share in the BEL Mid index

Since 21/03/2016 the Leasinvest Real Estate share is part of the BEL Mid on Euronext Brussels1 .

1 In order to be part of this selection, the free float market capitalization of the company that is considered should be higher than the BEL 20 index level at the closing date of the review period, multiplied by 55,000 (cf. www.euronext.com - INDEX RULE BOOK BEL® Family).

2 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS PERIOD 01/01/2016- 30/06/2016

The first half-year of 2016 corresponds to Leasinvest Real Estate's expectations.

Thanks to the acquisition of T&T Royal Depot end 2015 the rental income has increased and amounts to € 28.41 million at the end of June 2016 in comparison with € 25.12 million end June 2015 (increase of 13.1%). At constant portfolio, 'like-for-like', the rental income remains stable (increase by 1.3% or € 332 thousand in comparison with the same period last year; excl. received rental guarantees and rental incentives).

The gross rental yield has slightly risen in comparison with end 2015 and stands at 6.95% (end 2015: 6.88%) based on the fair value and at 6.82% (end 2015: 6.75%) based on the investment value.

The occupancy rate1 amounts to 97.47% (end 2015: 95.80%); an increase that is explained by realized lettings in different buildings (a/o the building Monnet that was entirely re-let after its renovation in 2015).

The fair value2 of the direct real estate portfolio has slightly decreased and stands at € 814.15 million end June 2016 compared to € 869.36 million end December 2015, which is mainly explained by the realized sales of the completed building Royal20 (book value 31/12/2015 € 50.75 million) and the logistics building Malines Zeutestraat (valued at 31/12/2015 at a fair value of € 4.39 million).

The property charges have slightly increased from € - 4.22 million end June 2015 to € - 4.59 million by the increased management costs and other property charges in comparison with the same period last year. The relative increase of the property charges amounts to 8.6% and is mainly due to the increased portfolio size.

The result on the sale of investment properties end June 2016 amounts to € 4.80 million (in comparison with € 0.46 million end June 2015) thanks to the realized capital gain on the divestments of the buildings Royal20 on the one hand (capital gain of € 4.78 million) and Malines Zeutestraat on the other hand (capital gain € 18 thousand). The changes in fair value of the investment properties on 30 June 2016 amounts to € - 3.7 million in comparison with a positive change in value of € 8.04 million over the first half-year of 2015. It needs to be mentioned that this portfolio result in 2015 was substantially influenced by the positive impact of the rise of the rate of the Swiss Franc on the valuation of the Swiss buildings in portfolio (€ 6.0 million). This was however compensated by an equal decrease (€ - 5.99 million) of the fair value of the financial instruments for hedging the exchange rate risk resulting in the integral cancellation of this increase in value in the financial results on 30/06/2015.

The financial result amounts to € - 6.29 million end June 2016 in comparison with € - 13.37 million for the same period last year.

The financial income amounts to € 1.36 million and is substantially influenced by the recovery of the withholding tax deducted in 2015 on the dividend of the Retail Estates shares held by Leasinvest Real Estate and for which Leasinvest Real Estate benefits from the reconfirmed (by the constitutional court) parent-subsidiary exemption. The interest charges have decreased by € 497 thousand over the first half-year from € - 6.85 million in 2015 to € - 6.36 million on 30/06/2016. Consequently, the average funding cost decreased from 3.50% at the end of June 2015 to 2.87% at 30 June 2016. The other bank costs at 30/06/2016 amount to € - 0.62 million and are stable in comparison with the same period last year. The changes in fair value of the financial assets and liabilities passed through the income statement have decreased from € - 6.0 million op 30 June 2015 to € - 0.7 million as a consequence of a more stabilized exchange rate Euro – Swiss Franc.

The net current result3 end June 2016 stands at € 14.9 million (or € 3.02 per share), in comparison with a net current result of € 11.10 million (or € 2.25 per share) end June 2015. This 34% rise is mainly the consequence of the increased rental income thanks to the acquisition of the building Tour & Taxis Royal Depot at the end of last year.

The net half-year result amounts to € 15.22 million end June 2016 compared to € 13.44 million end June 2015. In terms of net result per share this results in € 3.08 per share end June 2016, compared to € 2.72 end June 2015.

At the end of the second quarter of the financial year 2016 shareholders' equity, group share (based on the fair value of the investment properties) amounts to € 340.15 million (end 2015 € 362.41 million).

1 In the calculation of the occupancy rate, the development projects are not taken into account. 2 Fair value: the investment value as defined by an independent real estate expert and of

which the transfer rights have been deducted. The fair value is the accounting value under IFRS.

3 The net current result is calculated as the net result excluding the portfolio result on the one hand, and the changes in fair value of the ineffective hedges on the other hand.

On 30 June 2016 a rise of the reserves was recorded for an amount of € 7.4 million by the addition of the profit of the previous financial year (€ 30.6 million) to the reserves, decreased by the distribution of the dividend over the financial year 2015 (paid on 23 May 2016) for an amount of € 23.2 million.

The net result per 30 June amounts to € 15.2 million over 6 months, as mentioned in the notes to the consolidated results.

The changes in fair value of the financial assets and liabilities (IAS 39) passed through shareholders' equity drop by € - 16.2 million as a consequence of the decreased swap curve (the market value of the hedges passed through shareholders' equity per 30/06/2016 amounts to € - 52.6 million compared to € - 36.4 million at 31 December 2015). The net asset value per share excluding the influence of fair value adjustments on financial derivatives (EPRA NAV) stands at € 80.0 end June 2016 in comparison with € 81.3 end 2015.

End June 2016 the net asset value including the impact of fair value adjustments on financial derivatives (IAS 39) amounts to € 68.9 per share (31/12/15: € 73.4); the closing price of the Leasinvest Real Estate share on 30 June 2016 amounted to € 106.10 or 54.0% higher than the net asset value.

Thanks to the realized sales of the buildings Royal20 and Zeutestraat Malines the debt ratio has decreased end June 2016 to 56.68% in comparison with 58.03% end 2015, and this after payment of the dividend over the previous financial year for an amount of € 23.2 million. € 17.2 million of available cash is registered in the balance sheet per 30 June 2016; these resources intrinsically allow a further reduction of the debt ratio to 55.8%.

3 MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Per 30/06/2016 the financial debts recorded in the balance sheet amount to € 497.6 million compared to € 532.2 million on 31/12/2015. This decrease is due to repayments of bank debt as a consequence of the sale of the completed Royal20 building in Luxembourg and the building Zeutestraat in Malines.

These financial debts for an amount of € 497.6 million comprise, at 30/06/2016, bank loans at a variable interest rate (€ 227.4 million) and at a fixed interest rate (€ 62.8 million), € 99.0 million of bonds and € 108.4 million of issued commercial paper.

The credit portfolio diversification as to funding sources and number of credit institutions is an important element to be able to count on a continuous funding basis, limiting to a minimum concentration and counterparty-risk. The draw-downs mentioned below are presented in a graph, in combination with a reproduction of the corresponding credit lines.

CREDIT LINES 30/06/2016

DRAW-DOWNS 30/06/2016

The commercial paper issues went up over the first halfyear 2016 from € 87.7 million to € 108.4 million through an increased market liquidity with a higher demand of investors for issues as a consequence. Taken into account the short-term character of this funding resource, available, back-up credit lines are at all time foreseen for the outstanding amount in the commercial paper program.

The maturity profile of the credit portfolio (excluding commercial paper issues) show a balanced spread of maturity dates over the period 2016 – 2022. The coming expiry dates in 2016 are all situated arount the end of the year; discussions for refinancing have therefore already been started and will lead to a further spread of the maturity profile below.

The average duration of the credit lines granted amounts to 2.88 years per 30/06; this duration will increase after the refinancing of the lines expiring in 2016.

Bonds

The hedge ratio at 30/06/2016 stands at 85% and is calculated on the basis of the total nominal outstanding hedge amount of the Interest Rate Swaps, Cross currency Swaps and interest caps (€ 264.8 million), augmented by the credits at a fixed rate incl. bonds (€ 157.5 million) over the total outstanding amount of financial debts at 30 June 2016 (€ 497.6 million). After the 30/06/2016 balance sheet date, the existing interest caps were sold (2 caps, jointly € 40 million concluded at a strike rate of respectively 4.5% and 4.0%). The average duration of the hedges amounts to 6.22 years at 30/06/2016.

The weighted average funding cost has decreased per 30 June 2016 to 2.87%, compared to 3.50% over the first halfyear of 2015 as a consequence of the decrease market rate on the one hand, and the refinancing of a number of credits at lower margins, on the other hand.

4 IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSING OF THE PERIOD 01/01/2016-30/06/2016

No significant events took place after the closing of the first half-year of 2016.

For an overview of the main risks and uncertainties we refer to the financial risk management in the condensed financial statements and to the Annual financial report 2015 (pages 4-18).

8 PURCHASE/SALE OF TREASURY SHARES

In the period 01/01/2016-30/06/2016 Leasinvest Real Estate has not purchased, nor sold any treasury shares, resulting in a total number of 4,938,870 issued and listed shares, and a number of shares entitled to the result of the period of 4,935,478, since the purchase of treasury shares in the course of the financial year 2015 of 3,392 shares within the framework of following the legal procedure with regard to the dematerialization of bearer shares according to article 11 of the law of 14 December 2005 (€ 282 thousand).

9 OUTLOOK FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2016

Notwithstanding the expected demolition and reconstruction of 2 buildings in the Brussels CBD in 2016, namely the Montoyer 63 building, for which a usufruct agreement was concluded with the European Parliament for a term of 21 years, and the building Square de Meeûs, for which an urban planning permit was also recently granted, and except for exceptional circumstances, the company expects, thanks to the acquisition of the Royal Depot at Tour & Taxis end 2015, to realize a higher net result and higher net current result in 2016 than in 2015. The company consequently expects that the dividend over 2016 can be maintained at minimum the same level.

(1) The number of shares entitled to dividends was calculated based on the difference between the issued Leasinvest shares and the 3,392 shares purchased by Leasinvest Real Estate in 2015 within the framework of the finalization of the legal procedure relating to the dematerialization of bearer securities cf. art. 11 of the law of 14 December 2005. (2) For the financial year 31/12/2015 the data are calculated over a period of 12 months and for 30/06/2016 over a period of 6 months.

(4) Number of traded shares / (total number of listed shares * free float).

In the first half-year of 2016 the price of the Leasinvest Real Estate share passed the € 100 threshold to reach an absolute record high on 10/06/2016 with € 110.65, trend that continued after 30/06/2016. The premium compared to the net asset value (based on fair value) rose to +54% on 30/06/2016.

The average monthly traded volume of the share over the first half of 2016 slightly decreased and amounted to 31,133 shares (31/12/2015: 34,128). The lower velocity for 6 months (7.56% over the first half of 2016) is mainly explained by the slightly lower transaction volume, in its turn relatively low due to the limited free float of the share (41,0%). If we only take into account the freely traded shares, the free float velocity for six months amounts to 18,45% over the first half-year of 2016.

Since the inclusion of the Leasinvest Real Estate share in the BEL Mid index on 21/03/2016, a clearly higher return of the share in comparison with the index was recorded. Also in comparison with the EPRA Belgium index the Leasinvest Real Estate share records a noticeably higher return. The return of the EPRA Eurozone Index remains higher, but moves towards the end of the first half-year of 2016 in the direction of the Leasinvest Real Estate share.

REAL ESTATE MARKET OVER THE FIRST HALF-YEAR OF 2016

GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG

Office market: the best half-year of this decade

The take up in H1 edged up to 122,000 m2 equating to a yearly increase of 42%, the best level since 2008. In view of the pipeline of transactions take-up over the full year may approach 200,000 m2, the best level of this decade. The financial sector remained very active and this sector contributed for over 50% this take-up, vs. 20% in 2015 and the highest level of the decade. This year so far, corporates lead by far the market, with a limited number of deals by administrations and no deal by the EU or embassies. However, in strong competition with Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt Luxembourg is well positioned to attract banks and financial institutions leaving London amidst the BREXIT should the "European passport" been lost. The Kirchberg, where Leasinvest Real Estate's substantially renovated (in 2015) Monnet building is located, dominates the occupier market with over 30% of take-up. It is perceived as the place to be by large corporates, European institutions and banks. Works on the new tramway network have recently started, a major enhancement of the district's attractivity to tenants. CBD and decentralized (particularly Cloche d'Or) follow with respectively 22% and 25%. Total available space in Luxembourg came in at 208,749 m2, equating to a vacancy rate of 5.04%, vs. 4.2% end 2015 (CBD: 4.6%, Station district: 4.5%, Kirchberg: 2.1%). There is currently 353,500 m2 under construction in Luxembourg, of which +/- 80,000 m2 . is speculative. The office stock in Luxembourg will therefore reach and exceed 4 million m2 by year-end.

Office rents in Luxembourg increased in 2014 and 2015 due to restricted vacancy and continuous demand, and Luxembourg became the eighth most expensive city in Western Europe. Now rents seem to have stabilised, though several projects trade at rents above current standards, especially

in the CBD, where Leasinvest Real Estate was able to already pre-let the office building Royal20 for 100% end 2014. In the CBD, prime rents are € 45/m2 /month, in the Kirchberg, € 34/m2 /month, while in the Station district € 35/m2 /month and in the Airport District € 25/m2 /month. It is expected that prime rents in the CBD will further increase given the increased competition for top locations.

The investment activity in Luxembourg continues to show steady growth. Volume year-to-date is to € 625 million. The market remains dominated by the office segment (50%, or 320 million) but it was boosted by a mega land sale that contributed to 28% of total volume (Abu Dhabi Investment Authority - 20,000 m2 land located Place de l'Etoile in the CBD for an estimated price of € 150 million). Consequently, the Middle East now leads the investment market in Luxembourg with an estimated share of 40%. Top office yields remain under pressure, currently at 4.9% and could reach a historic low of 4.5% over the coming months.

Retail market: solid market fundamentals underpin strong demand

Luxembourg is a small but very wealthy country with a high population density in its southern regions, including the regions of Belgium, France and Germany nearby. After a very strong 2015 with more than 37,000 m2 of take up, 2016 is bound to another year with healthy take-up. The average space per transaction has increased significantly over 2015 and 2016, especially for out of town shops, among which our lettings to Adler Mode (2015) and Roller (1H 2016) in EKZ Strassen. Out-of-town is definitely the most active sector over the first half of 2016: with a take-up of more than 13,000 m2 over H1 2016 it almost exceeds the full-year average of the previous years for this sector. In out of town sites like Foetz rents currently stand at € 19 to € 22 /m2 /month. Given the actual demand for prime out-of-town locations in Luxembourg we expect these rents to grow to € 23-25 /m2 /month over the coming years.

The % of retail take-up by cross-border retailers shows that over recent years about 60% of retail space was taken by international players.

The projects pipeline has grown considerably, especially for large projects planned to be delivered in the 2018-2019 period: the flagship development Royal Hamilius in the city centre of Luxembourg is under construction and Cloche

d'Or has revealed its final approved plans for the largest shopping centre in Luxembourg (75,000 m2 ). This supply of new retail space is expected to limit rental growth in the medium term for shopping center locations.

Prime retail product for sale is limited so only one retail investment transaction recorded for 2016 so far (the 3,200 m2 C&A shop located avenue de la Gare 15 by Redevco). Previously dominated by Luxembourg and Belgian actors, the retail investment market is becoming more and more international, following the trend observed in the office sector.

Prime retail yields are at historically low level in every retail segment. The compression is also important in the retail warehouse segment where prime yields are currently standing at 6% coming from 7% in the beginning of 2012. In the shopping center segment, prime yields are more stable, recorded at 5.4%. However, we forecast a strong yield compression in the coming months as new shopping centers will enter the market and should witness a huge appetite on the investment market.

BELGIUM

Despite witnessing a third decrease of the quarterly invested volumes in a row, the Belgian professional investment market remains dynamic, with € 900 million invested in Q2. This brings the total invested volumes since the start of the year to around € 1.9 billion (including owner occupier deals), representing a 25% increase compared to 2015. As the recent Brexit should have rather limited impacts on the Belgian market and as we should continue to live in a low interest rates environment in the next months, the investment market will remain dynamic.

We still expect investment volumes to increase up to € 4.5 billion for the whole 2016, as megadeals are still awaited in every market sector before the year ends.

Office market: public sector boosted the activity

This quarter (Q2) recorded more than 204,000 m2 of takeup, the highest level since Q4 2009. As a result, the activity stands close to 310,000 m2 since the beginning of the year, already more than the whole of 2015. Take-up in the Central districts stands at an impressive 136,000 m2 in Q2, the highest level recorded since Q4 2009. Since the beginning of the year, the activity is close to 194,000 m2 . Grade A buildings represent 40% of the take-up.

The long-awaited decisions of the European Commission and European Parliament, with whom Leasinvest Real Estate concluded in the second quarter a usufruct agreement for a 21-year fixed term for its to be redeveloped building Montoyer, combined with the occupations of the municipality of Brussels, the Souverain 25 and the Brussels-Capital Region represent more than 55% of the total take-up. As some important transactions are still in the pipeline for the rest of the year, the take-up could reach its highest level since 2011.

The important activity of the public sector, mainly located in the Central districts logically boosted the share of the take-up located in the CBD compared to the other districts since the start of the year. However, the lack of available qualitative spaces in the Central districts could constrain some occupiers to opt for the Decentralized areas or the Periphery or to delay their relocations' decisions in the coming months. Thanks to the lettings of the Black Pearl and the Mérode by the European Commission, only 95,000 m2 of grade A buildings remain available. An important part of these spaces should be occupied in the coming months, bringing further compression to the availability in grade A-buildings. Indeed, we witness a "regeneration effect" of the CBD, a return of occupiers to the Central districts and these buildings should rapidly find new occupiers. That is why Leasinvest Real Estate is convinced that its second redevelopment, Square de Meeûs with reception in 2017, will easily attract new tenants.

Globally, the vacancy rate continues to decrease and currently stands at 9.3%, coming from 9.8% one year ago. The continuous decrease observed since mid-2010 is mainly due to the low level of speculative developments delivered since the 2008 economic crisis. The vacancy rate could witness further downward movement in the course of 2016. The vacancy rate in the Central districts continues its slow decrease, standing globally at 6.5% in Q2, coming from 7% last quarter. The different lettings of recently delivered buildings contribute to this downward movement and further decreases are expected in the coming months. There is thus an important window of opportunity to develop new office schemes, which are well located and offer the highest efficiency and environmental performances criteria to counterbalance the growing lack of available grade A spaces. Currently, the vacancy rate in the North district stands at 6.9%. Even if recording a low vacancy rate, the North and Midi districts are considered as stagnant as the turnover ratio remains very low (mainly due to the long-term lettings observed in these districts). The Royal Depot at the Tour & Taxis site, an iconic building in the North district, acquired by Leasinvest Real Estate end-2015 is practically entirely let, and when space becomes available, it is easily leased. The prime rents are still to be found in the Leopold district, at € 275/m2 /year. Conversely, the weighted average rents are on the upward, to stand around € 190/m2 /year in Q2,

compared to € 187/m2 /year in Q1.

As new assets have already entered or are expected to enter the market in 2016, the prime rent is expected to slightly increase and could reach € 280/m2 /year. The weighted average rents should also record an upward movement as the activity in grade A-buildings will increase this year

Retail market: out-of-town holds up very well

Take-up figures were below average for Q1 but were progressing over Q2 especially in the out of town market, definitely the most steady market segment over the last years. There is a dynamic top-end of the market with some brands leaving but enough new players coming into the market. Take-up picked up over the second quarter and stood at 164,000 m2 end June 2016; out of town performed above average but in shopping centers there was less activity than in previous years. The average out of town transactions represents about four times more m2 GLA than main streets or shopping centre deals; as a result out of town is quite dominant and holding up very well.

Out of town retail schemes benefited from the upgrading of architecture and clusters of greater quality, with classical inner town brands like H&M progressing into the periphery. Many retail parks are being redeveloped and upgraded. The clear upgrading of formats, architecture and locations in the out of town retail market means outlets are increasingly moving away from the classic "shoe box" type of format thanks to designs of greater quality. This process should also benefit from the regionalization of the law on commercial establishments. As a result, out of town retail is gradually shedding its discount image.

There are more projects in the pipeline on the Brussels and Walloon side than in Flanders. Several new developments are coming to market in 2016: one new shopping centre (Docks Bruxsel in Brussels) and in the out of town segment IKEA has opened two new large shops in Hasselt and Mons over the first half this year.

Rents are picking up on AAA-locations as there is good demand for prime and flagship stores: with e-commerce progressing these high visibility shops have more and more of an additional marketing and showroom function. Prime rents for top retail parks across Belgium vary from € 100/m2 /year in locations such as Mons to € 160/m2 /year in Zaventem. They have varied very little over the past years but most of them are slightly up over recent quarters. This is reflecting the healthy demand and the clear tendency to upgrade this market segment; now that we see more and more typical high street brands and quality architecture in this segment, rents are slowly but steadily following pace in this segment.

Retail investments remain at subdued levels compared to 2015, still awaiting significant transactions in 2016. € 360 million have been invested in the retail sector since the beginning of the year, highly contrasting with the record year 2015 and its € 2.1 billion invested. The absence of shopping center transactions weighs on the total invested volumes. The recent terrorist threats may have put some retail investment transactions on hold, though significant transactions are still in the pipeline for the rest of 2016. The market also benefits from growing consumer confidence. International institutional investors are more and more interested, not only in big but also medium sized tickets in Belgian main streets, including portfolio deals. The sharp yield compression observed since mid-2014 slowed down but continued since the beginning of 2016. Prime retail yields in the high streets segment reached a historic 3.50% in Q2 and are the only ones witnessing a compression this quarter. Indeed, prime yields in the shopping center and out of town retail segments remained unchanged, respectively at 4.25% and 5.35%. For trophy assets in very specific locations, we still find 'Superprime' yields around or below 3%.

SWITZERLAND (RETAIL MARKET)

The Swiss economy recorded a certain slowdown in the course of 2015, linked to the evolution of the economic activity in Switzerland, more specifically with regard to export and the effect of the "strong Swiss Franc". Positive growth is however expected in 2016, with an improvement of the situation recorded in the first half-year of 2016. The majority of the analysts still expects this impact on the Swiss economy to continue in 2016 and 2017, with a growth lower than Switzerland's real potential growth and a slightly increasing unemployment rate in 2016 (3.6%)as a consequence. The probability of an increase of consumer prices remains low and the outlook is rather a negative inflation. Because of specific legal restriction (prohibiting the acquisition of residential real estate investments by foreign buyers) for real estate acquisitions, the Swiss real estate market is split up in two clear segments: residential and commercial (i.e. offices, retail, hotels, industry and logistics), recently considered by Swiss authorities as an effective tool to stabilize the prices in a climate of high pressure on residential rents. At the commercial side the market is still dominated by Swiss investment and pension funds, such as Crédit Suisse Asset Management, Swiss Life and Swiss Prime Site, that focus on top commercial and administrative buildings. For this type of assets we record since a number of years net yields of 3% to 4%, reflecting the lack of available buildings and the high demand of investors.

The retail landscap in Switzerland remains dominated by shopping centers located in the big cities and the periphery of Switzerland. Historically, the two biggest Swiss retailers are Coop and Migros, mainly dominating the retail mar ket. Newcomers such as Aldi and Lidl have however led to bigger competition and are currently well implanted in Switzerland.

One of the most remarkable phenomena recorded in Switzerland over the last 10 years is the development of out-of-town shops. The majority of the retailers focuses on specific zones in the periphery of the cities that are easily accessible by car. A majority of these retailers is active in furniture and DIY.

Other important retailers are pet shops, sports and elec tronics. These retailers are present in approximately 2/3 of the developments. We also record a growing presence of "hard discounters" such as Lidl and Aldi and fast-food chains.

In 2015 and the beginning of 2016 this sector continues to record a strong demand, more specifically in the most attractive locations such as Geneva and Vaud ('la Côte'), where Leasinvest Real Estate holds 3 very well located retail buildings in Etoy, Villeneuve (Préneuf) and Yverdonles-Bains.

The DIY sector experiences the largest expansion, with e.g. Hornbach, that renewed in the spring the rental contracts for different locations for a long term (15 years). No rent increase is however recorded, which reflects the pressure that retailers feel on their turnover.

The current developments are strongly limited and slowed down by Cantonal and communal restrictions with regard to traffic and nuisance caused by such activities. Con sequently, it becomes more difficult to proceed to new developments.

E-commerce has in the meanwhile become the biggest challenge for traditional retailers. The impact varies per sector. The clothing and electronics sectors experience the biggest impact and undergo a substantial transformation. Till 2020 the outlook is an 11%-e-commerce share of retail with more important shares for clothing (27%) and elec tronics (38%).

VALUATION REPORT1

1.VALUATION UPDATE AS AT 30 JUNE 2016 OF THE LEASINVEST REAL ESTATE SCA PORTFOLIO

REPORT BY THE EXTERNAL VALUER CUSH-MAN & WAKEFIELD

We are pleased to report our valuation of the investment and fair values of the Leasinvest Real Estate SCA portfolio as at 30 June 2016.

Our valuation has been prepared on the basis of the information provided by Leasinvest Real Estate CVA. We assume this information is correct and complete, and that there are no undisclosed matters which could affect our valuation. Our valuation methodology is the capitalisation of the market rent with corrections to take into account for the difference between the current rent and the market rent. We have also based ourselves on comparables that were available at the date of valuation.

The values were determined taking current market parameters into account.

We would like to draw your attention on the following points:

    1. The portfolio consists of business parks, offices and semi-industrial buildings or distribution centres and shops, located in Belgium, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and in Switzerland.
    1. The total (including de projects and assets 'to be sold) effective rental income (including the market rent on vacant space) is 3.03% higher than the market rent (respectively 9.30%, -1.24% and -3.39% for the Belgian, the Luxembourg and the Swiss portfolios). The total (excluding de projects and assets 'to be sold) effective rental income (including the market rent on vacant space) is 3.03% higher than the market rent (respectively 9.30%, -1.24% and -3.39% for the Belgian, the Luxembourg and the Swiss portfolio).
  • The total occupancy rate2 of the portfolio (including the projects) is 94.78% (respectively 88.61%, 99.68% and 100% for the Belgian, the Luxembourg and the Swiss portfolio).

The total occupancy rate of the portfolio (excluding the projects) is 97.47% (respectively 94.48%, 99.68% and 100% for the Belgian, the Luxembourg and the Swiss portfolio.

    1. The remaining weighted average duration of the current leases for the whole portfolio equals to 17.8 quarters or 4.45 years. The projects and assets 'to be sold' were not taken into account in this parameter.
    1. The office project 'R20' was delivered and sold in Q2 2016 and is no longer a part of the portfolio.
    1. The industrial building 'WKB Warehouses' has been sold in Q2 2016 and is no longer a part of the portfolio.
    1. A total investment value of € 829,800,000 (eight hundred twenty-nine million eight hundred thousand euro) has been determined, with respectively € 359,330,000, € 425,460,000 EUR and € 45,010,000 as investment values for the Belgian, Luxembourg and Swiss portfolios.
    1. A total fair value of € 814,140,000 (eight hundred fourteen million one hundred and fourty thousand euro) has been determined, with respectively € 351,060,000, € 419,170,000 and € 43,910,000 as fair values for the Belgian, Luxembourg and Swiss portfolios.

1 The conclusions of the valuation report were reproduced with the agreement of Cushman & Wakefield and DTZ Winssinger.

2 The occupancy rate is valid on the date of the valuation and does not take into account future availability (already known or not) nor with future new contracts (signed or not). This figure is calculated on the basis of the following formula: (market rent of all let areas)/ (market rent of the complete portfolio).

On this basis, the initial yield of the complete portfolio (including the Projects and assets 'to be sold') in terms of investment value is 6.72% (with respectively 6.84%, 6.72% and 5.84% for the Belgian, Luxembourg and Swiss portfolios) and the initial yield of the complete portfolio in terms of fair value is 6.85% (respectively 7.00%, 6.82% and 5.99% for the Belgian, Luxembourg and Swiss portfolio).

End June 2016 shareholders' equity, group share (based on the fair value of the investment properties) amounts to € 340.15 million (31/12/2015: 362.41 million) or € 68.9 per share (31/12/2015: 73.40).

The decrease of shareholders' equity in comparison with end 2015 is attributable to the evolution of the comprehensive income that is lower, mainly due to changes in fair value of authorized hedges in hedge accounting as defined by IFRS over the first half-year of 2016 for € 15.8 million compared to 31/12/2015. The comprehensive income on 30/06/2016 amounts to € 0.9 million and is integrally absorbed by the payment of the dividend over the financial year 2015 for an amount of 23.20 million.

(1) The property management costs consist a/o of the fee paid by Leasinvest Real Estate and its Belgian subsidiaries to the statutory manager Leasinvest Real Estate Management SA. Of the total fee paid by Leasinvest Real Estate for the first 6 months of the financial year 2016 (€ 1.96 million) € 1.1 million is related to the Luxembourg real estate portfolio. The fee is however fully recorded in the Belgian segment because Leasinvest Real Estate is the actual debtor.

The forecasted long-term inflation rate applied to the valuation techniques amounts to 1.25%.

Based on the balance sheet at 30 June 2016, an increase of the average yield by 0.10% would have had an impact of € - 11.5 million on the net result and of € - 2.33 on the net asset value per share, and an increase of the debt ratio by 0.70% (namely from 56.68% to 57.38%) at a constant credit draw-down.

Based on that same balance sheet, a decrease of the average ERV by 10% would have an impact of approximately € - 81.4 million on the net result, which corresponds to € - 16.5 on the net asset value per share. At a constant level of credit draw-downs this would lead to an increase of the debt ratio by 5.39% (namely from 56.68% to 62.07%).

5 INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL DEBT

On 30/06/2016 the financial debts of € 497,596 thousand have decreased by € 34,653 thousand in comparison with end 2015 following the sales of the completed project Royal20 in Luxembourg and the logistics building Zeutestraat in Malines. As the notarial deed for the sale of the project Royal20 was only passed at the closing date 30/06/2016 the cash and cash equivalents of € 17,244 thousand are exceptionally high end June 2016. These cash and cash equivalents have been used after the balance sheet date to further reduce the outstanding financial debts.

The item other loans comprises for € 98,969 thousand the bond loans issued by Leasinvest in 2013.

The confirmed credit lines (excl. the € 99.4 million bond loans and € 108.4 million commercial paper) amount to € 598.7 million (end 2015: € 473.7 million) end June 2016.

6 CALCULATION AND FURTHER COMMENTS ON THE DEBT RATIO

In accordance with art 24 of the RD of 13 July 2014, the public RREC has to establish a financial plan with an execution calendar, whenever the consolidated debt ratio exceeds 50%. Herein it describes the measures that will be taken to prevent the consolidated debt ratio from exceeding 65% of the consolidated assets.

On the financial plan, a special report is drawn up by the auditor, in which is confirmed that the latter has verified the way the plan has been drawn up, namely with regard to its economic fundamentals, and that the figures comprised in this plan correspond to those of the accounts of the public RREC.

The general guidelines of the financial plan are recorded in the annual and half-year financial reports. In the annual and half-year financial reports is described and justified how the financial plan was executed in the course of the relevant period and how the public RREC will execute the plan in the future.

Debt ratio overview

As commented in the table below, historically, Leasinvest Real Estate's debt ratio has in general remained below 50% till 2011, but crossed the 50%-threshold as of 2012 as a consequence of the investment programme that was executed over the past years (more specifically within the framework of the development and later sale of the Bian office building in Luxembourg, the investment in the real estate certificates issued by Porte des Ardennes Schmiede SA and Porte des Ardennes Pommerlach SA for the refinancing of the shopping centers Knauf located in Schmiede and in Pommerloch, the acquisition of the building Tour & Taxis Royal Depot and the development of the completed project Royal20).

(*) Closing at 30/6

At the end of December 2015 Leasinvest Real Estate's debt ratio still amounted to 58.03% and has decreased thanks to the sale of the completed project Royal20 per 30 June 2016 to 56.68%. As the date of the notarial deed for the sale coincided with the closing date of the half-year, the total proceeds of the sale could not yet be fully used at the closing date to reimburse existing credits and consequently reduce the debt ratio. An available cash position of € 17.2 million is thus recorded in the balance sheet of 30 June 2016; this cash position allows intrinsically to further reduce the debt ratio to 55.8%.

1.Evolution of the debt ratio in the long term

The board of directors considers a debt ratio of maximum 50%-55% as being optimal for, and in the interest of the shareholders of Leasinvest Real Estate, and this both with regard to return, net result per share and to mitigating the liquidity and solvency risks.

For each investment the impact on the debt ratio is analysed, and the investment is potentially not selected should it unilaterally influence the debt ratio in a too negative way.

Based on the debt ratio of 56.68% end June 2016 Leasinvest Real Estate has an investment potential based on debt financing of € 223.3 million without exceeding the 65%-debt ratio, and an investment potential of € 84.5 million without exceeding the 60%-debt ratio.

2.Evolution of the debt ratio in the short term

Each quarter a projection of the debt ratio is presented to the board of directors in the scope of the presentation of the budget, in function of the forecasted results and the planned acquisitions and sales. Based on these elements, a projection is made per end 2016. This forecast also takes into account possible divestment and/or investment transactions. Taking into account these assumptions, and the realization or not of possible divestment and/or investment transactions as mentioned above, the debt ratio will be situated between 55% and 59% at the end of December 2016, i.e. slightly above the predefined 50%-55% range.

3.Other elements influencing the debt ratio

The valuation of the real estate portfolio has a direct impact on the debt ratio.

As of today there are no indications in the market of strong negative evolutions. Through the diversification of the portfolio of Leasinvest Real Estate, both in terms of assets as geographically, the risk is also mitigated. Should substantial value decreases take place in the real estate portfolio, with the risk that the debt ratio would exceed 65%, Leasinvest Real Estate can proceed to the sale of a number of its buildings to solve that issue.

It is the opinion of the board of directors that no additional measures are necessary to avoid the debt ratio from exceeding 65%. The debt ratio will in the short term stabilize between 55% and 59%, or slightly above the predefined range of 50%- 55%.

7 DEFINITION OF THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES PER LEVEL

Assets and liabilities valued at fair value after their initial booking can be presented in three levels (1-3), that each correspond to a different input level to observe the fair value:

  • Level 1 inputs are (non-adjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. deducted from prices);
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on valuations techniques comprising data for the asset or liability.

Concretely, the company appeals to comparable market data for the valuation of the credits, such as an approximation of the applied reference rate and an approximation of the evolution of the credit margin based on recent comparable observations.

With regard to the financial derivatives, the valuations of the different counterparty banks have been recorded, meaning that a detailed description of these data, as required by level 3, is not possible. However, these instruments were classified under level 3 as we calculate a CVA or a DVA on these received valuations, and this on the basis of data that are an approximation of the underlying credit risk. The valuation of the private bond is based on an approximation of an observable CDS spread and the evolution of the corresponding Euribor rate.

The financial leasing is valued based on a discounted cash flow principle.

REPORT OF THE STATUTORY AUDITOR TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF LEASINVEST REAL ESTATE COMM VA ON THE REVIEW OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATE-MENTS AS OF 30 JUNE 2016 AND FOR HE SIX-MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of Leasinvest Real Estate Comm VA (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") as at 30 June 2016 and the related interim condensed consolidated statement of realized and unrealized results, the other elements of realized and unrealized results, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and reserves and the consolidated cash flow statement for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes, collectively, the "Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements". These statements show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 939.954 thousand and a consolidated profit for the six-month period of € 15.215 thousand. The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
