Subtitle: - IFRS consolidated net income increases by 50% to EUR 1.8
million (previous year: EUR 1.2 million) - Adjusted consolidated net
income (EPRA-Earnings) at EUR 1.3 million, 25% above quarterly
related forecast - Significant increase in forecasts for 2011 and
2012

München (euro adhoc) - Munich, Germany, May 12, 2011 - Fair Value
REIT-AG reports a very successful start to 2011. The group ended the
first quarter of the year with a consolidated net income of EUR 1.8
million or EUR 0.20 per share, a considerable increase on the figures
of EUR 1.2 million and EUR 0.13 per share for the same period in the
previous year. The increase compared to the previous year is
primarily the result of an income effective market value increase of
cash flow hedges in the equity accounted participations.

The consolidated earnings adjusted for market value changes and
other, non-operative effects (EPRA-Earnings) amounted to EUR 1.3
million or EUR 0.14 per share (previous year: EUR 1.5 million or EUR
0.16 per share), which was 25% higher than forecast for 2011 on a
quarterly basis.

The operating income of EUR 1.2 million was in line with expectations
and was 40% lower than the previous year´s figure of EUR 2.0 million,
mainly because of re-letting related expenses. In contrast, the
results of the equity accounted associated companies more than
doubled, increasing by EUR 1.0 million to EUR 1.9 million. Of this
increase, 20% is attributable to an increase in net rental revenues
and 80% to an improved valuation of derivative financial instruments,
as recorded in the respective profit and loss statements.

On the balance sheet date, the group´s equity capital amounted to EUR
77.8 million (31 December 2010: EUR 74.6 million). The balance sheet
net asset value (NAV) per share in circulation thus increased by 4%
to EUR 8.35 (31 December 2010: EUR 8.00). Taking into account the
minority holdings in the subsidiaries, the equity ratio as defined in
section 15 REITG (German REIT Law) increased to 51.3% of the
immovable assets (31 December 2010: 49.6%).

Frank Schaich, CEO of Fair Value REIT-AG, considers the basis for the
pleasing performance of the group to be a stable earnings base and a
positive market environment: "An occupancy rate in our proportionate
real estate portfolio of approximately 93% and an average remaining
lease term of 6 years continues to provide us with a good level of
planning confidence, and the stable market environment helps us
achieve lease renewals and new leasing agreements. As a result of the
turnaround in the development of interest rates, the market value of
our cash flow hedges has also increased. This has had a positive
effect on the consolidated net income as well as contributing to an
increase in the consolidated equity, without affecting net income."

At the end of April 2011, a loan held by an associated company, that
had originally been fixed until December 31, 2014, was replaced by a
new, variable interest rate property loan with a term of 5 years and
by an interest rate cap. The result is that, already from 2011, the
relevant associated company will make savings of more than 50% on the
previous interest payments. This has a corresponding positive effect,
expected to amount to approximately EUR 0.6 million per annum, on the
Fair Value REIT-AG proportionate IFRS earnings from equity accounted
participations.

"It was possible to negotiate a relatively small prepayment penalty.
Already from May 2011 we can thus utilise the reduction of more than
50% in the interest payments in order to generate a significant
improvement in earnings," explains Frank Schaich, who continues:
"Taking into account results from the first quarter, we have raised
our forecasts for the current financial year and also for next year.
For 2011 we are now expecting an increase in the adjusted
consolidated net income from EUR 4.3 million to EUR 5.0 million (EUR
0.54 per share), and in 2012 we are expecting an increase from EUR
5.1 million to EUR 5.7 million (EUR 0.61 per share).
