HAMBORNER REIT AG  / Key word(s): Quarter Results/Interim Report11.11.2010 08:26--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Press releaseHAMBORNER REIT AG: Positive business trend also continues in 3rd quarter of2010  - Income from rent and leases further increased   - Operating result (FFO) increased by 20.0 %   - Altogether around EUR 62 million invested in attractive propertyDuisburg, 11 November 2010 - Die HAMBORNER REIT AG is also able to reportgood progress in its operating result for the 3rd quarter of 2010. Thetotal management earnings were EUR 18.3 million in the first nine months ofthe year, representing a 9% increase on the figures for the previous year.The increase was primarily thanks to new investments that were made. As ofthe end of September the vacancy rate is 2.3%, hence 1.4% down on thecomparable figure for the previous year (3.7%). When the figure is adjustedto account for rent guarantees it is only 1.2%. In the first nine monthHAMBORNER secured an operating result (FFO) of around EUR 9.5 million, anincrease of 20.0% on the previous year (EUR 8.0 million). An increase of15-20% on the previous year's figures is also estimated for the year 2010as a whole, which is better than previous expectations.With the assumption of REIT status as of 01.01.2010 and the resultingpermanent exemption from corporation tax and local trade tax, the hiddenreserves had to be calculated and tax paid on them (exit tax). Thisresulted in a one-time special effect in the 1st quarter of 2010 which hada negative impact of EUR 2.8 million on the result. However, this hadalready been absorbed by the 1st half year of 2010 and this led to abalanced result on 30.06.2010. As of 30.09.2010 the result for the periodwas EUR 2.5 million (EUR 4.4 million in the previous year).Regarding investments HAMBORNER continued its successful acquisitioncourse. Following the acquisition and transfer of office property inErlangen, an OBI supermarket in Hilden, a high street building inKamp-Lintfort and an EDEKA center in Stuttgart by the middle of the year,another office property was acquired in Ingolstadt in the 3rd quarter. Theinvestment volume as of 30.09.2010 is hence EUR 61.8 million. In the 3rdquarter two retail properties in Lemgo and Bad Homburg were officiallyrecorded. With these investments HAMBORNER is successfully implementing itsstrategy of profit-oriented growth particularly in Southern Germany.Further interesting properties are currently being examined. The net issueproceeds of around EUR 76 million from the successfully placed increase incapital in October also laid the foundation stone for further growth andcontinued increase in the FFO.As of 30.09.2010 the NAV was EUR 9.64 per share. The financial situation ofthe company continues to be extremely stable and positive. The REIT capitalratio is 54.2 % and the Loan to Value (LTV) is 42.1%.
