Significant increase in rental income: up 10.6% to €70.0m on a yearly basis (€63.3m in 2007) and stable occupancy rate (94.5% excluding Banimmo); ? Broader property assets portofolio: 127 buildings, appraisal value, including transfer tax, amounts to €1,120m at the end of June (€996m at end of June 2007); ?

RESULTS ? Operating margin up 0.6% to €38.1m (in comparison with the 1H2007); ? Significant decrease in capital gains on disposals which come only from sales of equity interests, as the Group did not make any significant sales of buildings (€16.9m in capital gains in the 1H2007); ? Consequently, operating profit is down to €8.8m (€19.0m for the 1H2007); ? Negative impact of the change in the the buildings fair value: -€17.8m (i.e. 1.9% of the value of the assets) compared with an increase of €20.8m for the 1H2007); ? Increase in the operating cash flow: €29.0m (€22.4m for 1H2007); ? 1.6% increase in Affine's corporate net profit to €20.1m. AFFINE STOCK PERFORMANCE ? 14.7% drop in share price, in line with the French SIIC index; ? 40% increase in the liquidity of the stock in comparison with 2007; ? Discount to replacement NAV (€46.7 per share) of 30% as of end of June 2008;. ? Payment of interim dividend of €0.45 per share next November; OUTLOOK Despite the magnitude of the financial crisis and its consequences on the property market, recurring operating profit for 2008 should remain close to that achieved in 2007. However, a more restrictive property disposal policy will significantly reduce capital gains and therefore operating profit. This change will not affect Affine's dividend policy. 1H2007 Year 1H2008 Consolidated results (€ m) (restated) 2007 Operating margin 37.9 86.5 38.1 Financial income (loss) (13.9) (31.6) (16.2) Operating and misc. expenses (20.0) (39.8) (18.1) Corporate tax (1.9) (4.2) (0.5) Recurring operating profit 2.1 11.0 3.2 Capital gains on disposals 16.9 29.7 5.6 Operating profit 19.0 40.7 8.8 Change in fair value of buildings 20.8 27.8 (17.8) Dilution profit 12.5 12.5 - Miscellaneous, non-operational 1.7 2.3 2.7 Deferred tax 9.5 8.3 (1.1) Net accounting income (loss) 63.5 91.6 (7.4) Of which Group share 49.8 78.2 (9.9) The content and accuracy of news releases published on this site and/or distributed by PR Newswire or its partners are the sole responsibility of the originating company or organisation.
