Summary

In 2011 VGP successfully changed its business model and strategy from strict develop and hold towards a strategy with a bigger focus on development and a more pro-active approach in respect of potential disposal of the Group's income generating assets, thus effectively realising its historic development profit.

The sale of an 80% equity interest in VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II with a total transaction value of around € 435 million allowed the Group to optimise its capital structure and to pay to its shareholders a capital reduction of € 40.0 million in cash.

After the year-end two further transactions i.e. VGP Estonia and VGP CZ IV were signed having an aggregated transaction value of over € 30 million As such the group now disposes of the necessary means to re-invest in an important land bank which is the basis for our future developments and the main driver of the Group's profits.

VGP's activities during the year 2011 can be summarised as follows:

• The Group was debt free (on a net debt basis) at the end of December 2011.
• The operating activities resulted in a net profit for the period of € 12.9 million compared to a net profit of € 6.2 million (on a like for like basis respectively as at 31 December 2010.
• Sustained high demand for semi- industrial buildings in the mid-European region resulted in the signing of new annualised committed leases in excess of € 4.6 million in total of which € 3.5 million related to new lettable area and € 1.1 million to renewal of existing or replacement leases.
• The Group's property portfolio reached an occupancy rate of 98.5% at the end of December 2011 (including VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II) which was a fraction lower than the 98.8% as at 31 December 2010. The occupancy rate of the VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II property portfolio reached 100%.
• The operating result for the period increased by 34.9% (on a like for like basis) to € 12.2 million as at 31 December 2011 compared to € 9.1 million as at 31 December 2010.

• The 53 buildings owned through the associates VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II representing 573,426 m² of lettable space are all managed by VGP Facility Management through its wholly owned VGP FM Services subsidiary, creating a stable fee income with sound margins.
• VGP has currently also undertaken additional development activities in its associates by which it is currently constructing 4 new buildings (24,300 m²) for VGP CZ I and 2 buildings (16,626 m²) for VGP CZ II.The net valuation of the property portfolio as at 31 December 2011 showed a net valuation gain of € 3.1 million against an net valuation gain of € 22.8 million per 31 December 2010 and represents a € 7.5 million unrealised gain on the new projects currently under construction or completed during the year i.e. the development activities and an aggregate net realised loss of € 4.4 million resulting from the VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II transactions. This € 4.4 million realised valuation loss is composed of a € 1.0 million realised gain on the disposal of the VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II assets and a realised loss of € 5.4 million resulting from the recycling of the existing VGP CZ I and VGP CZ II interest rate swaps through the profit and loss account.
