ADLER Real Estate AG aiming for two-digit return on equity

  - Expansion and growth of business operations in 2007

  - High net income also through special influencing factors

Hamburg, March 11, 2008. ADLER Real Estate AG, Hamburg, expanded its
operating business in 2007 and successfully achieved again a very positive
result. The annual net surplus of EUR 7.27 millions (previously: EUR 8.56
millions) resulted again from special influencing factors, namely from the
acquisition of MÜBAU Real Estate GmbH and the liquidation of some assets,
which in this context were acquired. These transactions are reflected in
other operating income that increased to EUR 18.43 millions (previously:
EUR 12.16 millions). Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.40 for the
financial year 2007 (previously: EUR 0.70).

The increase in consolidated revenues to EUR 5.41 millions (previous: EUR
2.63 millions) is the result of ongoing sales of properties, rental income
of property portfolios and asset management fees, a result of the
acquisition of two portfolios in November 2007 that will be the basis of
revenues in the coming years. The earnings should be retained, following
the proposal of the Managing Board, in order to sustain the basis for
further business expansion.

In 2008, the expenses of the Group will be covered by current revenues,
particularly from the asset management. The asset Management will be
vigorously expanded also in 2008. Moreover, it is planned to generate
additional operating revenues from ongoing project development. Altogether,
the Managing Board aims at a return of 10 to 15% on invested capital. The
Supervisory Board will decide at a meeting at the end of March on the
adoption of the annual accounts. The complete annual report will be
published at end of April.
