Fair Value REIT-AG / Preliminary Results 14.03.2008 Release of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Munich, March 14, 2008 Fair Value REIT-AG published its preliminary figures for fiscal year 2007 today. The Fair Value Group recorded rental income of EUR 4.3 million. The Sparkasse portfolio acquired as a direct investment in the fourth quarter of 2007 only resulted in minor revenues as the risks and rewards were only transferred as of December 21, 2007. Net rental income after property-related expenses totaled EUR 2.5 million. This income thus primarily stems from majority interests in closed-end real estate funds that were fully consolidated for the first time on September 30, 2007. Earnings from associated companies were carried in the financial result after inclusion of impairment to take ongoing fund-specific costs into account. Other key items of the financial result are net interest expenses, minority interests and one-off costs of EUR 1.8 million for last year's stock exchange listing. The financial result thus totaled EUR 3.5 million in fiscal year 2007. After deducting general administrative expenses and one-off expenses for establishing the REIT as well as other consulting costs, the Fair Value Group recorded net income for the year of EUR 1.6 million (IFRS). This corresponds to weighted earnings per share (IFRS) of EUR 0.68. As of December 31, 2007, the Fair Value Group's equity amounted to EUR 94.5 million. This also corresponds to the company's net asset value. The NAV per share on the balance sheet date thus totaled EUR 10.05 based on the 9,406,882 shares in circulation. The increased market values of the real estate proportionately due to Fair Value have had a positive impact on NAV. Compared to December 31, 2006 (reference date for the fund investments) respectively the initial carrying amounts (Sparkasse portfolio) these were up 2.4% from EUR 269 million to EUR 275 million. The final figures are expected to be published together with the 2007 annual report on April 15, 2008 on the Web site www.fair-value-reit.de. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News: Company profile Munich-based Fair Value REIT-AG focuses on the acquisition, rental, property management and sale of commercial properties in Germany.
