BRIEF CORPORATE PROFILE
Deutsche Real Estate AG of Bremerhaven is a rapidly growing real estate investment corporation investing exclusively in German real estate, both directly and indirectly. It pursues a yield-oriented policy of active real estate management. It is responsible within the
HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group for expansion and optimization of the real estate portfolio and also for seizing lucrative opportunities for the sale of individual properties.
The real estate portfolio managed by Deutsche Real Estate AG and its subsidiaries at end
2001 had a total value of around one billion Euro. It is concentrated geographically in
German growth regions with a major share in Berlin’s highly promising real estate market
where Deutsche Real Estate AG is involved in prime locations like the Hackesche Höfe,
the Gendarmenmarkt, Lützowplatz and the Kurfürstendamm.
HBAG Real Estate AG acquired a majority interest in the corporation in October 1998.
HBAG is a real estate holding and financing corporation responsible for steering the
group which focuses its activities on the German market where it is now involved in the
complete value-added chain of the real estate sector.
Deutsche Real Estate AG is a successor corporation to Geestemünder Bank AG, an oldestablished company founded in 1871. Its banking business was transferred in 1997 to
Bankhaus Neelmeyer AG of Bremen, a subsidiary of the Vereins- und Westbank. Administration of the corporation’s own assets continued under the new name of Geestemünder
Verwaltungs- und Grundstücks-AG. Following its acquisition by HBAG, the corporation’s name was changed to Deutsche Real Estate AG in April 1999. Its head office was
transferred to premises on the prestigious Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin’s Central district in
the summer of 2001.

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG
A THOROUGHBRED REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION PRACTICING ACTIVE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Ladies and gentlemen,
Deutsche Real Estate AG is the real estate
investment corporation of the HBAG/
AGIV Real Estate Group. Its successful
letting and leasing operations generate
substantial profits from a rapidly-growing
real estate portfolio. This consists primarily of top-quality German commercial
real estate, much of which is located in
the large conurbations of Berlin, Munich
and the Rhine-Main region. Our policy
of active real estate portfolio management
also enables us to augment profitability by
achieving appreciation in the value of our
portfolio through the sale of individual
real estate assets. Against the background
of this strategy we see our share as a highyield investment backed by genuine value
and with excellent earnings prospects. The
results for fiscal year 2001 bear out this
view. We are proud to be able to report
satisfactory results despite the recent unexpected turbulence on the global stage.
We regard the steady expansion of our
real estate and investment portfolio as the
key reason for the corporation’s success.
This portfolio increased during the year
under review from 59 to the present total
of 66 properties. At the end of 2001, our

in 1973 at the Conrad Hinrich Donner

was employed in an executive capacity
from 1979 to 1986 at the Hamburg
branch of Jones Lang Wootton, the wellknown real estate consultants. Between
1986 and 1999 his subsequent career
took him to Hammerson GmbH in
Frankfurt am Main – a subsidiary of

holdings had a market value of around
t621 million and the total volume under
our management was approximately
t978 million.
Rental income from our holdings (before
deduction of operating charges not billable to tenants) totaled approx. t69.4
million. The average residual term of the
tenancy agreements was 7.4 years. The
vacancy rate for the total lettable area of
approx. 694,000 m2 of all the properties
in our portfolio is currently running at
only 7%.
The present portfolio constitutes an excellent basis for further expansion consistent with our strategy. We are now in a
position to generate more profits from
selective property sales, the proceeds of
which are then available for prudent reinvestment. In this way we aim to further
increase average portfolio yield and, consequently, Deutsche Real Estate AG’s
earning power.
As already announced, the corporation’s
head office was transferred to Berlin in
August 2001 and are now operating from
a top address on that city’s Gendarmenmarkt and have a base located within one
of Germany’s leading real estate markets.
We are also showing the flag in Germany’s capital city as one of the country’s
first stock exchange-listed real estate stock
corporations. Our new base will be the
nerve center controlling our active involvement in development of the “new”
Berlin.

Letter to our Stockholders
There were some changes in our Management Board towards the middle of 2001.
Dr. Rainer Behne resigned as Chairman
of the Deutsche Real Estate AG Management Board effective June 30, 2001 to
take up duties on the Supervisory Board.
Thomas Schwerdtfeger also left the Management Board on November 1, 2001.
Marcus Hientzsch was elected to the Management Board effective August 22, 2001.
We expect the planned merger of our
main stockholder HBAG Real Estate AG
with AGIV Real Estate AG, a corporation listed in the German MDAX index,
to have a positive spin-off for our corporation over the medium term. It will
help to make investors more aware of the
advantages inherent in the real estate
stock corporation as an investment form.
Deutsche Real Estate AG, as the corporation responsible for expansion of the real
estate portfolio within the HBAG/AGIV
Real Estate Group, will derive direct benefit from this image upgrade of real estate
stock corporation share.
We believe that the highly qualified
human resources to whose services we
have access both within the group and
through our regional partners give us a
distinct competitive advantage. These
enable us to research and satisfy promptly
the wishes of our customers, the tenants
occupying our properties. Additional key
factors that will help Deutsche Real
Estate AG to maintain its momentum in
2002 and future years are its professional
asset and portfolio management procedures supported by an efficient controlling system.
This stronger image will benefit our
growth plans which will in future make
provision for the acquisition of real estate
in the form of subscriptions in kind.

ACTIVE REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT IN GERMANY AS A WAY OF ACHIEVING ADDED VALUE
DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG –
What are the strengths of
How does Deutsche Real Estate AG

manage its real estate portfolio?
Deutsche Real Estate AG is a real estate
investment corporation with a clear profile and strategy. We invest exclusively in
German real estate, concentrating on
properties offering opportunities for high
yields and value appreciation. We have
focused our activities from the very start
on the west German conurbations of
Frankfurt am Main and Munich and also
Berlin. At end 2001, Deutsche Real Estate
AG’s portfolio included 66 properties,
mainly office and retail.
Active real estate management is a key
element in Deutsche Real Estate AG’s
strategy. This helps us achieve maximum
profitability at every stage in the value
added chain. Active management directly
affects three critical phases in the typical
real estate cycle – acquisition, maintenance and sale. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s
steadily rising profit curve is the proof
that we are on the right course with this
strategy.
REAL ESTATE GROUP – GENUINE
SUBSTANCE, SECURE AND
BACKED BY A CLEAR STRATEGY
Active purchasing management –
This focus of our activities is on the continuing expansion of our real estate portfolio and on its appreciation in value
through consistent application of our
active real estate management policy. In
this way, Deutsche Real Estate AG is
developing into a highly attractive corporation of genuine substance.
| 8|
Value appreciation potential from
the start
Active purchasing management relates in
the first instance to the selective acquisition of individual properties offering
either above-average value appreciation
potential or high rental yield. There is
however an increasing trend in the real
estate market towards deals involving
acquisition of packages or large lots of
assorted properties, as insurance companies and large corporations anxious to
concentrate on their core business divest
themselves of – in some cases substantial
– real estate assets. Other attractive deals
of this kind can be cut with closed-end
real estate funds. Real estate packages are
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
almost always available at more favorable
terms than single properties and a wellorganized real estate stock corporation
can achieve an above-average value appreciation by acquiring such packages and
selling off individual properties which are
approaching the end of their life cycle.
Deutsche Real Estate AG has a clear strategy for making full use of existing and
future market opportunities. Its access to
outside capital and its function as a stock
exchange-listed corporation are key factors in this respect. We can, for example,
acquire large real estate portfolios by
arranging capital stock increases against
subscriptions in kind. In this way, traditional investors in real estate get the opportunity to transfer their assets into a
form of investment that is far easier to
realize at short notice without having to
shift away from the real estate sector.
This procedure also has the advantage of
broadening our stockholder base.
thereby generate more value appreciation
potential than would be available through
the acquisition of completed developments
which are in most cases already let. The
high preletting rates achieved by Deutsche
Real Estate AG enable it to prepare extremely accurate cost and profit forecasts.
For example, during the year under review
we delayed the start of construction on
two office buildings at Dornhofstrasse 36
and 38 in Neu-Isenburg until 50% of the
available space had been prelet.
Active portfolio management –
Optimization of operations
It is part of our routine responsibilities to
identify for opportunities to create additional earnings potential by optimizing
tenant mix and letting status in our real
estate portfolio. This is only possible by
providing active, tenant-oriented services
that help to generate customer satisfaction and forge firm bonds between us
and our tenants. This in turn reduces
tenant fluctuation and, consequently,
management costs. We also monitor our
operating expenses continuously. This
procedure helps us safeguard the value
of our portfolio whilst at the same time
keeping tenants’ service charges at optimal levels.
Another facet of our operating policy is
prudent use of available reserves of land
to increase the value of the existing portfolio. This may involve conversion and
other building work on existing sites.
One of our properties in Frankfurt am
Main is a good example of this. It has a
large inner yard accessible from a side
street. This yard had been used as parking space by the former owners. Our
analysis revealed that it would be possible
to construct around 4,000 m2 of additional commercial space on the site by
adding an underground parking facility.
Revitalization of properties already in our
portfolio and, in some cases, construction
of new buildings either for retention or
sale depending on market conditions is
another attractive option in yield terms.
This enables us to become involved at an
earlier stage in the value-added chain and
Berlin, Krausenstrasse 8
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
forum
Active portfolio management also includes
revitalization and modernization of our
properties. An example of this is a 30yearold office building on the Oberanger
in Munich. Using a revitalization plan
drafted in collaboration with our local
southern region partner, we gutted the
building completely, then covered the
outer surface of the reinforced concrete
shell with cooled double cladding and
installed high-quality interior space. This
made it possible to let the whole building
under new tenancy agreements signed at a
peak of rental values.
We also make full use of the latest information technology. SAP, together with the
real estate specialists at Arthur Andersen
Consulting, have developed a software system based on SAP-R3 but tailor-made to
our specific requirements. Large parts of
this software are already in use.
Active sales management –
What are the functions of your local
Maximum return at the end of the
partners?
value-added chain
Active sales management is another key
factor of our corporate strategy for maximizing yields. It involves constant observation of developments in the real estate
market and analysis of their implications
for each individual property in our portfolio, in particular, to determine whether
active portfolio management procedures
would bring further increases in profitability. Where this is no longer the case, the
property is deemed to have reached its
zenith, i.e. maximum value appreciation,
and is sold. This helps to ensure maximum return on invested capital.
Examples of this policy during the year
under review are our holdings in the projects at Oberanger in Munich and Dornhofstrasse 34 and 36 in Neu-Isenburg,
which were successfully sold during the
boom phase of their respective real estate
markets on completion of renovation and
modernization and subsequent letting. We
plan to continue applying this strategy in
2002, seizing market opportunities for
further real estate sales to free capital for
new investments.
| 10|
Successful real estate deals are only possible if one has detailed knowledge of the
local markets. A local eye can spot and
assess opportunities, and market proximity facilitates early contact with current
owners. Deutsche Real Estate AG has
recognized this need and has, in collaboration with the HBAG/AGIV Real Estate
Group, built up a national network of
highly qualified real estate service providers who concentrate exclusively on
their regional environment. Long-term
contracts with these local partners give
Deutsche Real Estate AG the necessary
access to the main German real estate
markets and a capability to act promptly.
(The names of the local partners in the
five regions are listed on the inside of the
front cover.)
The local partners are responsible for
identifying properties which promise
good yields and for providing direct support during the acquisition process. They
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
also function as owners’ agents capable of
reacting quickly to tenants’ wishes and
problems and generating maximum customer satisfaction. They have their “ear
to the market” and are an essential link
in the chain from the acquisition of a
property, its ongoing maintenance and
appraisal until its ultimate sale.
This innovative arrangement is a keystone of our group’s operating structure.
Each local partner functions as an independent, highly motivated enterprise. He
is a guarantor of optimal service both to
the tenants and to us at Deutsche Real
Estate AG. It also means that the group
has a pool of experienced real estate specialists at its disposal for recruitment of
new management resources as necessary.
This ensures that our growth strategy will
not suffer for lack of the necessary

Can an individual property enhance the
value of a location?
In principle, yes. One example of this
phenomenon is the development of our
investment in the Hackesche Höfe in the
Berlin suburb of Spandau. This property
with its jugendstil, art déco and new
functionality facades is the largest single
courtyard development in Europe and
presents a model mixture of residential,
commercial and cultural use in old Berlin.
After German reunification, a plan for
revitalizing this property without destroying its small-unit structure was developed
together with the then occupiers. Work
on restoration of the architectural structure lasted from 1995 to 1997 and the
Hackesche Höfe have now become the
focal point of Spandau’s cultural life.
New developments like the adjoining
Neuer Hackescher Markt are also benefiting from its powers of attraction.
The Hackesche Höfe are a model of
modern urban development. The planners
have created a location with a unique
combination of mixed social, cultural and
commercial use. It is not only a highly
attractive location for tenants. Its magnetic effect extends farther to enhance
the value of the real estate in its immediate environment. This means that rental
income should rise as existing tenancy
agreements expire.

One key objective of our active real estate
management policy is the reintegration of
derelict sites into urban life and the development of modern worlds of living
and working. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s
membership of the agenda4 E community
underlines the importance accorded to
district management in our corporate
philosophy.
The agenda4 E community is a nonprofit-making association founded in
2001 with the aim of stimulating the
interest of politicians, business and public institutions in all matters relating to
urban and real estate development.
What is the function of the
corporation’s subsidiaries?
Deutsche Real Estate AG acts essentially
as a management holding corporation. It
holds its real estate investments through
subsidiary companies, most of which are
wholly owned. (The chart on the inside
back cover shows details of the Deutsche
Real Estate AG group structure.) Each
property is normally the sole asset of the
relevant subsidiary. This structure was
chosen partly for tax reasons and partly
to enhance flexibility in real estate deals.
The commercial property at FriedrichEbert-Damm 110-112 in Hamburg can
be taken as a good example for explaining our corporation’s legal structure. The
building in this case was acquired by
DRESTATE (formerly DREAG) Objekt
Hamburg, Friedrich-Ebert-Damm
GmbH & Co. KG, a company formed
solely for the purpose of managing and
exploiting this one property. Deutsche
Real Estate AG owns 100% of its capital
stock and the company is consequently
classified as an affiliate and included in
Deutsche Real Estate AG’s consolidated
financial statements. The subsidiary’s
general partner is Verwaltungsgesellschaft

What are Deutsche Real Estate AG’s
corporate objectives?
We are seeking to enlarge our high-yield
portfolio by means of selective investments in German real estate, to achieve
value appreciation of these assets with the
help of our active real estate management
policy and to top hidden reserves when
market conditions are favorable. We
attach great importance to the soundness
of our investments and consequently only
become involved in development projects
in cases where the risk is assessable and
where we can gain access to the valueadded chain at an early stage and thus
achieve above-average profitability. We
avoid speculative and high-risk commitments as a matter of principle.
Shares instead of real estate –
Where are the advantages?
Deutsche Real Estate AG conducts its
business as a traditional real estate stock
corporation. Its shares are listed on the
Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg and
Bremen stock exchanges. Deutsche Real
Estate AG’s status as a quoted corporation opens up a number of interesting
opportunities for financing its investments. One of these is capital stock
increases or issue of new shares against
subscriptions in kind. Instead of paying
cash for the shares, the new stockholder
transfers assets in the form of either actual
real estate or shares in real estate companies to Deutsche Real Estate AG.
This subscription in kind increases the
value of Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real
estate portfolio and at the same time
increases the corporation’s equity ratio
and, consequently, its ability to negotiate
borrowings. The person making the subscription in kind, i.e. the seller of the real
estate, acquires a share in Deutsche Real
Estate AG equivalent to the value of his
subscription. By shifting his investment
| 13|
from actual real estate into shares, he
gains greater flexibility in control of his
assets and can also concentrate more
closely on his core business.
German corporation law stipulates special
requirements for subscriptions in kind.
These regulations are aimed at protecting
stockholders and ensuring probity in
business dealings. It is necessary to show
proof that the subscription in kind will
be acquired at a true and fair value and
neither under- nor overvalued. This requires an expert appraisal guaranteeing
and demonstrating a reasonable relationship between the value of the subscription
in kind and the number and price of the
newly issued shares.

Forum
What advantages does the real estate
corporation share have over direct
investment or acquisition of units of a
closed-end real estate fund?
Real estate has a strong attraction for
German investors because of its genuine
substance, soundness and stable long-term
returns. Although traditional investment
forms like direct investment or acquisition
of units of a closed-end real estate fund
dominated the market for a long time,
shares in real estate stock corporations
have been gaining ground since the end
of the 1990’s.
This trend is attributable to a number of
advantages offered by investment in
quoted real estate stock corporations. The
most important of these is the negotiability of the asset because the shares can be
sold at any time. The investor can liquidate the asset daily on the stock exchange
and realize profits quickly.
Another advantage is the relatively low
nominal price of the shares, which enables smaller investors to acquire an interest in real estate. A large real estate portfolio with a wide geographical spread
covering a variety of types of use also
diminishes market risks like the sudden
loss of major tenants.
One significant plus point for stockholders in security terms is the protective
legislation embodied in the regulations
governing official share listing and the
resulting audit and publication requirements.
In contrast to shares in real estate corporations, direct investment in real estate
has gradually become less attractive,
mainly because of changes in tax regulations. The speculation period both for
direct real estate investments and for
units of closed-end funds has been extended in most cases to ten years during
which capital gains are liable to tax. This
has robbed investors of the chance to
react flexibly to changes in their personal
circumstances or to market fluctuations.
In contrast, capital gains on real estate
corporation shares are tax-free as from
the expiry of a 12-month speculation
period.

What are the differences between a real
Why is the Deutsche Real Estate AG
estate stock corporation and an open-
share attractive?
ended real estate fund?
Real estate stock corporations are not
subject to any official restrictions on their
investments, i.e. the management, in
consultation with the Supervisory Board,
has complete freedom to take entrepreneurial decisions. For a corporation like
Deutsche Real Estate AG, pursuing an
active real estate management policy, this
is a key success factor. It helps to generate
value appreciation potential which should
be reflected in the share price.
We can take action on any property appearing on the market in which our management sees an attractive development
potential, irrespective of the volume involved. These include undeveloped sites
and sites currently under development.
We can also acquire real estate companies,
either in part or in whole, and there are
no restrictions on our acquisition of
interests in other real estate stock corporations. In contrast, the open-ended real
estate fund’s freedom to invest is severely
hampered by official requirements to
maintain high liquid reserves to enable
prompt redemption of units.
Deutsche Real Estate AG is a rapidly
growing real estate stock corporation operating in a field where the investor enjoys
a high degree of security. This is a sound
basis from which to pursue a yield-oriented corporate strategy based on active
real estate management and concentration on German commercial real estate.
Deutsche Real Estate AG, a member of
the HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group, is
actively expanding its real estate portfolio. Our investments are exclusively in
Germany and focused at present on commercial real estate. We deliberately avoid
dilution of our fixed assets with holdings
or securities alien to the real estate sector.
Deutsche Real Estate AG invests exclusively in real values, especially at preferred
locations but also in selected properties
outside the larger conurbations provided
that they offer high earnings potential. In
some cases, entry into the value-added
chain at an early stage can generate additional earnings potential. Consequently,
we are prepared to envision limited
involvement in new real estate developments subject to the proviso that these
entail a calculable risk. This helps swell
the volume of hidden reserves in our
growing real estate portfolio.
| 15|
During its last fiscal year the corporation’s
intrinsic value rose by around t8.9 million as a result of partial redemption of
borrowings.
We consider it essential to keep Deutsche
Real Estate AG stockholders, the investors in and owners of the corporation,
fully informed of developments affecting
it. Transparency generates confidence and
it is for this reason that we pursue a policy
of open communication. For example,
the latest news on the corporation is
available through the Internet. In summary, we believe that the Deutsche Real
Estate AG share has genuine substance
and offers a high degree of security plus
stable long-term yields.

INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS
Prospects for real estate shares
looking good
2001 was an unsuccessful year for most of
the international stock markets. The clear
downturn in global economic activity
and the continuing crisis in the so-called
New Economy were salient market features over large parts of the year. The
downward trend reached its nadir with
the collapse following the terrorist attacks
of September 11. A gradual recovery set
in from this very depressed level during
the final quarter. The prevailing trend was
clearly reflected in the 30 leading German shares making up the DAX Index.
German real estate shares weathered the
inclement stock exchange environment
much more satisfactorily. The DIMAX,
a special index of 58 real estate stock
corporations kept by the Ellwanger &
Geiger Bank, remained fairly steady during the course of the year. Market observers attribute this better performance
to changes in investor behavior. The erosion in prices of speculative stocks
prompted investors to switch their attention to investment options with more
substance.

Movements in share price
The Deutsche Real Estate AG share has
so far not benefited from the switch in
investor focus. After starting the year
2001at t14.00 in Frankfurt, it hit a low
of t7.50 in September before recovering
to t9.21 at the end of the year. Despite
this recovery the overall development of
the share price was unsatisfactory, reflect-
ing neither the positive trend in earnings
nor the increased intrinsic value resulting
partly from value appreciation and partly
from redemption of borrowings on individual properties that were financed from
cash flow. We are nonetheless confident
that our business plan with its clear, yieldoriented focus on active real estate management will be recognised by investors
soon enough to justify a bullish approach
to Deutsche Real Estate AG shares.

Market indicators
The future performance of real estate
stock corporation shares will depend
heavily on the degree of transparency in
the real estate sector. Stockholders, in
particular institutional investors, expect
to receive clear data enabling them to
make a reliable valuation of a listed corporation. The Real Estate Committee of
the German Association for Financial
Analysis and Investment Consultancy
(DVFA) is drafting procedures for analyzing the value of real estate and real estate
stock corporations. One useful method
for appraising real estate stock corporations holding real estate portfolios could
be the Net Asset Value (NAV) method.
A standardized and generally applicable
procedure for calculating this value is
now being developed.
Dietzenbach, Waldstrasse 66-76
Another promising instrument for
improving transparency and comparing
performance on the German real estate
market is the German Real Estate Index
(DIX) introduced four years ago by the
German Real Estate Databank (DID).
This measures the performance of direct
real estate investments by institutional
investors in Germany. Once its new real
estate-specific SAP system has become
fully operational, Deutsche Real Estate
AG intends to create a DIX-conform
database and interface. This will enable
us to use DID data for performance
assessment and benchmarking purposes.
The Ellwanger & Geiger Bank’s DIMAX
index provides transparency on share
prices by comparing all quoted German
real estate stock corporations. After
weighting for market capitalization,
Deutsche Real Estate AG stood at 17th
place in the list of 58 shares at end 2001.

Corporate governance
Development of share capital
Corporate governance rules are becoming
also increasingly important for stock exchange-listed corporations in Germany.
Relevant principles for corporations
quoted in Germany were formulated as a
Code of Best Practice in 2000. A DVFA
working committee has now designed a
corporate governance scorecard for the systematic evaluation of these corporations.
A binding code of practice embodying
these principles is being formulated. This
will be adopted in the statute book as
part of the legislation for better protection of stockholders.
Deutsche Real Estate AG rounded off the
nominal value of its share in fiscal 2001.
Following the change to the Euro in
March 1999, the corporation’s capital
stock was t18,897,347.93 subdivided
into 18,480,000 shares with a nominal
value of t1.02 per share. During the year
under review Deutsche Real Estate AG
carried out a capital stock decrease by the
simplified procedure to adjust the nominal value per share to t1.00. This reduced the capital stock by t417,347.93
to t18,480,000.00. The adjustment did
not change the number of shares.

The Management Board intends to submit proposals for new changes in capital
structure to this year’s Annual General
Meeting of Stockholders for approval.
The resulting liquid funds will be earmarked for further expansion of Deutsche
Real Estate AG’s real estate portfolio during the course of the current year.
Stockholder structure
There were no changes in stockholder
structure during fiscal 2001. HBAG Real
Estate AG remains Deutsche Real Estate

interest. The interest held by WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG remains
unchanged at 24.89%. The Hamburgische Landesbank and the Bayerische

and the remaining 8.41% are held by
other stockholders.

MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR THE
HOLDING COMPANY AND THE GROUP
GENERAL ECONOMIC
Weak business environment
SITUATION
After a promising start the state of the
global economy steadily deteriorated during the course of 2001 and economic forecasts had to be constantly revised downwards, especially during the second half
of the year. This negative trend was further exacerbated by the events of September 11 in the USA.
The impetus imparted to the global economy by the USA gradually slackened
off, whilst Japan enjoyed only a brief recovery before sliding back into recession.
The collapse of the New Economy depressed the whole Asian market. The economic health of the South American
states remained precarious, as evidenced
by the crisis in Argentina.
The unfavorable global background situation could not fail to affect the countries
of the European Union which were unable to repeat last year’s good results, with
| 22|
Germany near the bottom of the performance list. Growth of Germany’s gross
domestic product sank to 0.6% after a
plus of 3% in 2000. This poor result was
mainly attributable to sagging export
growth and industry’s disinclination to
risk capital expenditure.
Activity in the construction industry fell
even more sharply than last year, especially
in the residential sector. The volume
of other construction work remained at
below-average levels. The construction
market was once again harder hit in eastern than in western Germany.
Positive trend in West German
commercial property market
Trends in the domestic real estate market
varied widely from region to region.
Whereas the glut of available space continued to depress the market in the new
east German states and made further
downward adjustments inevitable, the
environment in west Germany was generally much more favorable despite some
marked regional differences.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Demand once again focused on the large
west German conurbations, generally
holding steady at last year’s high levels for
space at prime locations in the growth
regions Munich, Frankfurt am Main,
Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin.
The office space market managed to buck
the general economic trend and celebrated
another record year in 2001. Despite increases in area of available space, vacancy
rates, especially in the west German centers above, fell to around 2% and even
lower in some cases. The vacancy rate in
Berlin dropped to below 8%. In contrast,
the market situation in the east German
cities of Leipzig and Dresden remained
problematic.
The German retail sector suffered a
marked setback in 2001. Although the
Christmas trade was quite brisk in parts,
it was insufficient to prevent a decline for
the year as a whole, after two years in
which modest gains had been reported.
This meant that the retail sector is still
proving unable to extricate itself from a
period of recession that has now lasted
ten years. This situation has inevitably
increased competitive pressures and the
trend towards further concentration within the sector.
Rental levels for retail space remained
under pressure as a consequence of the
weakness in the retail sector, although
there were once again wide regional differences. Demand tended to focus on
prime downtown locations and on the
more attractive shopping malls where
rentals have been showing an upward
trend ever since 1998. Rental levels were
also buoyant in towns with a large catchment area and adequate space reserves of
the quality demanded by the large retail
chains. The markets in the east German
cities and for locations lower rated remained in the doldrums.
Money market
Investors in property once again enjoyed
fair weather in the money market and
interest rates even showed further marked
declines during the course of 2001. The
German Federal Reserve Bank reports
that average interest rates for 10-year
mortgages on residential real estate stood
at 5.9% in December 2001, higher than
the historical low reached in 1999, but
nonetheless still two percentage points
below the long-term average.
| 24|
The sustained low interest rates favored
the financing of investment projects with
loan capital plus a relatively low proportion of own funds and it was possible to
achieve positive cash flows on properties
offering adequate yields and financed with
long-term loans at fixed interest rates.
This created positive leverage effects.
Legal situation
The legal situation remained stable for
German real estate stock corporations
during the year under review despite the
accelerating trend towards globalization.
However, the Rental Reform Act that
came into force on September 1, 2001
did bring some changes affecting not only
tenancy agreements signed on or after
that date but also existing agreements.
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
The new act has only marginal implications for commercial tenancy agreements.
These relate mainly to compensation
claimable by landlords for modifications
or dilapidations of rented premises.
Whereas claims of this kind formerly
lapsed after six months, expiry of this
period can now be suspended if either
party files an application for institution
of an independent evidence-collecting
procedure.
The so-called “major” reform of the law
of obligations that came into force on
January 1, 2002 will have an indirect
effect on our business. The statute of limitations has been revised by reducing the
general limitation period to three years
and extending to two years the limitation
period for claims under purchase and
contract law relating to defects. Contract
and purchase laws have also been revised
and brought closer into line with each
other.
Neu-Isenburg, Dornhofstrasse 34
Tax situation
The reform of corporate taxation initiated
in the year 2000 brought some fundamental changes in corporation tax liabilities. The full deduction system was replaced by the so-called “half-income” system effective January 1, 2001. This means
that, although stockholders now only have
to pay tax on half their dividend income,
they can no longer deduct the corporation tax already paid by the corporation.
The corporation tax rate was also reduced
to a uniform 25% with effect from January 1, 2001.
A number of other significant tax reforms
entered into effect on January 1, 2002.
These include a general tax exemption on
the sale of shares held by corporations in
other corporations as from fiscal 2002.
This will make stock investments substantially more attractive for institutional
investors. The changes introduced by
the year 2000 tax reform have brought
another significant benefit for financial
holding companies, in that dividends paid
by subsidiaries will be tax-free as from
fiscal 2002.
| 25|
Capital gains on the sale of stocks held
by private persons are tax-free after expiry
of a one-year speculation period subject
to the proviso that their stockholding does
not constitute a major interest in the relevant corporation. However, the definition
of a “major interest” has been reduced
from 10% to 1% effective January 1,
2002. The half-income procedure will
now apply to tax-liable sales of shares
within the speculation period and to
holdings constituting an interest of 1%
or more.
The so-called building deduction tax also
took effect on January 1, 2002. This
affects the construction industry and is
intended to curb tax evasion and employment of illegal labor. Developers are now
required to deduct 15% from all amounts
billed for construction work and remit
the deduction direct to the tax office.
The developer is compelled to make this
deduction in all cases where the supplier
is unable to furnish a certificate of
exemption from his tax office.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
OF DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG
AND THE GROUP
Lübeck, Bei der Lohmühle 21a
Deutsche Real Estate AG can report growth
in all its divisions during fiscal 2001. The
real estate portfolio (including the portfolios of its subsidiaries) was enlarged by
7 new properties during the course of the
year to bring the total to 66. Rental space
increased by around 121,480 m2 (+19%)
to approx. 757,200 m2. Consolidated
fixed assets rose by t116 million (+ 31%)
to t488 million. The volume under management at closing date totaled approx.
t978 million as compared with t758
million in the previous year.
Pursuant to our policy of active real estate
management, the sole aim of the investments undertaken during the year under
review was value appreciation of the overall real estate portfolio. Regional risks and
risks inherent in tenant and portfolio
structures were spread more widely and
consequently reduced. The acquisition
of properties with a strong public image
has also increased public awareness of
Deutsche Real Estate AG. The corporation has, for example, acquired for
t9.1 million a 26% interest in the company owning Gloria Passage, an office,
retail and hotel development on Berlin’s
top shopping street Kurfürstendamm
close to the city’s WW2 memorial church.
The building complex contains 8,300 m2
of retail space and 6,900 m2 of residential
and hotel space.
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
Via a package deal, Deutsche Real Estate
AG has also acquired an interest in OsramHöfe and Forum Seestrasse, two buildings that exert a special kind of fascination because of their size and their unique
industrial architecture. Both are located
in top commercial estates situated on the
northern fringe of Berlin’s central district
and have a total net internal area of
75,500 m2. Their varied tenant and tenancy agreement structures hold attractive
prospects for the future.
Other properties included in the package
are a 25% interest in the Lützowplatz
office center in Berlin’s Tiergarten district
and a 94% interest in a shopping center
in the Berlin suburb of Reinickendorf
that is fully let to the Bauhaus GmbH &
Co. KG and Otto Reichelt AG retail
chains. This deal will be financed by a
capital stock increase to be paid for by
subscription in kind.
The most significant acquisitions in 2001
Deutsche Real Estate AG has acquired a
logistics center in Dietzenbach near
Frankfurt am Main with 4,320 m2 of
office space and 40,300 m2 of warehouse
space. It is fully let to the Kaufhof AG
department store chain. The investment
volume totaled t13.5 million.
In April, the group acquired an interest
in a commercial complex in Heidemannstrasse, Munich. Most of the site is let to
BMW. A neighboring site 7,940 m2 in
area on Maria-Probst-Strasse was bought
during the year under review for t4.75
million. A warehouse building with total
space of 5,414 m2 stands on this site. The
tenancy agreement on this warehouse
runs for another five years. Acquisition of
this site creates a second strategic access
route to the BMW site.
Deutsche Real Estate AG has invested
t8.6 million in a commercial property in
Lübeck currently occupied by two firstclass call center operators. The building
has 2,826 m2 of sales space and 3,350 m2
of office space. The investment gives
Deutsche Real Estate AG a 90% interest
in the real estate company owning the
property. Part of the purchase price will
be paid in the form of Deutsche Real
Estate AG shares that will be bought
back at market terms from the HBAG
Real Estate AG stockholding.

The company has acquired a new logistics and production building at a location
with extremely favorable traffic access
facilities in Frankenthal near Ludwigshafen for approx. t5.9 million. It is let
on a long lease at attractive conditions.
The site also has good reserves for further
development.
Two office buildings were acquired, one
in Munich and one in Stuttgart, at the
beginning of the year under review, for
modernization and reletting. Deutsche
Real Estate AG acquired a 65% interest
in a project for a building on the Prinzregentenstrasse in Munich for t16.6 million. This project is scheduled for completion during the first quarter of 2002.
62% of the total 4,900 m2 of space had
already been let by the end of 2001. The
building at the top location of Friedrichstrasse in downtown Stuttgart was acquired for t17.5 million. Conversion
work on this building was completed
during 2001 and its 7,800 m2 of office
and retail space has been fully let since
October 2001.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
In Berlin, Deutsche Real Estate AG
bought a 3,368 m2 undeveloped site at
Reichpietschufer in the Tiergarten district. Construction of an office building
with approx. 10,000 m2 of rental space is
planned on this site. Completion is
scheduled for end 2003/early 2004.
Other action to optimize the portfolio
Deutsche Real Estate AG has invested a
further amount of t1.5 million in Heidelberg’s Technology Park. Acquisition of
a 23.1% interest from the Heidelberg
Savings Bank brought the corporation’s
interest in the company responsible for
the first two project phases up to 49%.
Deutsche Real Estate AG also owns a
49% interest in the company that will be
responsible for the third phase of the
Technology Park project. The other stockholder is once again the Heidelberg Savings Bank. Construction work is now
scheduled for completion in the second
quarter of 2002 after a 6-month delay
caused by problems with the approval of
the facade design. However, the terms of
the agreement with the general contractor
mean that Deutsche Real Estate AG will
suffer no financial loss as a result of this
delay.
The letting status of the Heidelberg Technology Park stood at just under 40% on
January 31, 2002. One reason for this is
that startup financing options available to
the biotech companies for which the park
is designed have recently been considerably curbed. It has nonetheless been possible to attract a number of interesting
tenants.
The first and second phase and the multistorey carpark of the development at
Dornhofstrasse in Neu-Isenburg were
completed and fully occupied by tenants
during the year under review. Construction work for the third building was on
schedule. The preletting status on January 31, 2002, shortly before completion,
was a very satisfactory 93.5%. It has
proved possible to obtain higher rentals
than those budgeted for the project. A
total of 21,245 m2 of office space has
been constructed on the site.

Renovation work on the property at
Osterfeldstrasse in Hamburg was delayed
in 2001, partly as a result of tenant withdrawal and partly because of difficulties
in obtaining planning permission for the
proposed change of use. Revision of the
use concept and near-completion of the
first construction phase brought a marked
revival in demand for the available office
space. The preletting status on January 31,
2002 was around 20%.
Proceeds from sales achieved through the
determined implementation of its active
portfolio management policy brought
Deutsche Real Estate AG a total cash
inflow of t15 million during 2001.
The main items sold were the interests in
the properties at Oberanger in Munich
and at Dornhofstrasse 34 and 36 in NeuIsenburg which were sold at good prices
following completion of the building and
renovation work and letting of the renovated space.
Details of the complete real estate portfolio of Deutsche Real Estate AG and its
subsidiaries and other relevant data are
listed on the inside back cover of this
report. An updated list of all real estate
holdings with illustrations and details of
the individual properties and their locations can be downloaded from the
Deutsche Real Estate AG web site at
www.drestate.de.
Financing
The equity shown in the consolidated
accounts of Deutsche Real Estate AG at
closing date of fiscal 2001 stood at
t97 million. The corporation’s capital
structure remains sound despite the
strong growth rate.
Liabilities to banks have risen to t417
million in parallel with expansion of the
portfolio. Most of the corporation’s real
estate is financed by long-term loans because of the favorable interest rates obtainable. A significant part of the cash
flow is obtained from long-term tenancy
agreements on the properties in the portfolio.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Sales
Deutsche Real Estate AG’s consolidated
sales during the year under review rose in
proportion to the increase in fixed assets
from t24.5 million in the previous year to
t32.4 million, an increase of 32%. Other
operating income rose from t8.5 million
to t14.6 million. This mainly represents
profits on the sale of interests in the buildings at Oberanger in Munich and at Dornhofstrasse 34 and 36 in Neu-Isenburg.
Profit
Growth in consolidated sales brought a
sharp improvement in the holding company’s earnings, results from ordinary
activities climbing by just under 84%
to t12.3 million. The after-tax surplus
was 115% up on the previous year at
t11.7 million.
Consolidated results from ordinary activities were t3.4 million and the consolidated after-tax surplus was t1.1 million.
The Management and Supervisory Boards
will propose to the Annual General Meeting that Deutsche Real Estate AG’s net
income for the year of t11,653,493.94
be transferred to retained earnings.
Deutsche Real Estate AG has an obligation to publish consolidated financial
statements including the results of its
subsidiaries. The holding company’s net
profit for the year can be reconciled with
the consolidated loss as follows:
Organization and administration
Deutsche Real Estate AG transferred its
head office from Hamburg to the German capital city Berlin in August 2001.
The new head office premises are at Markgrafenstrasse 36 on the Gendarmenmarkt
in Berlin’s new city center. Deutsche Real
Estate AG owns a 47.4% interest in the
office building. One of the main reasons
for the transfer is the fact that Berlin is
now one of Germany’s largest and most
rapidly growing real estate markets.
Holding company’s net income for the year
Subsidiary company results not included in
holding company’s financial statements
Elimination of income from investments in
shares of subsidiary and associated companies
Elimination of inter-group profits
Depreciation arising from capital consolidation
Depreciation arising from equity consolidation
Consolidated loss
This result is largely attributable to startup losses from some of the subsidiary
companies. These arise mainly from
interest charges for financing building
work not yet capitalized.

Deutsche Real Estate AG’s in-house currency was converted to the Euro on July 1,
2001. From that date on all accounting
transactions were effected in Euro.
Deutsche Real Estate AG is a corporation
belonging to the HBAG/AGIV Real
Estate Group and consequently a member of one of Germany’s largest quoted
real estate groups.
TAXXUS Real Estate Service GmbH &

Following the transfer of its head office,
Deutsche Real Estate AG has now created
its own office organization and management company trading under the name
Deutsche Real Estate Service GmbH &

since August 2001 for asset management,
portfolio management, controlling and
legal affairs. TAXXUS Real Estate Service
GmbH & Co. continues to be responsible
for financial services and public relations.
These arrangements give Deutsche Real

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Research and development
Although a real estate investment corporation does not perform research and
development in the conventional sense,
we need to keep the many developments
in building procedures and technical
innovations under close observation in
order to determine whether existing or
newly acquired properties can be operated more efficiently. We also need to research and analyze trends in demands
made by tenants and users and anticipate
developments which could materially
affect the market value of our properties.
Berlin, Hackesche Höfe
As a member of the non-profit-making
association agenda4 E community,
Deutsche Real Estate AG is planning to
design an advanced interdisciplinary
training course in conjunction with universities and business institutions. This
will aim to create a cross-system approach
linking the functions of town and regional planning, architecture, civil engineering, economics, ecology and law. This
will necessitate complete reorganization
of the traditional value-added chain –
from the derelict site to the functioning
building – and the introduction of modern management methods and process
engineering into the fields of real estate
and urban development.
Employees
Deutsche Real Estate AG has no employees. The item of t1.8 million for personnel expenses relates to remuneration paid
to the Management Board and pension
payments to a former executive director.
Risk management
Deutsche Real Estate AG constantly
pursues a process of weighing up entrepreneurial opportunities and risks because it is only by consciously incurring
risks that above-average results can be
achieved. It is the systematic management of risks within the corporate organization, i.e. their identification, analysis
and handling, that is crucial for a company’s future success.
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
The nature of Deutsche Real Estate AG’s
business, namely the creation and management of a real estate portfolio is, in
principle, a low-risk area. The risk of a
total loss is low because the corporation
is investing in assets with genuine substance. This does not however obviate
the need for subjecting the risks relating
specifically to the real estate sector to
close examination and assessment.
The corporation’s reorganization and reorientation only dates back to 1998 and
all its subsequent transactions have been
handled by people who are still working
in responsible positions. This does much
to facilitate ongoing assessment of individual risks. The corporation’s management uses instruments designed to identify and control risks, and risk analysis
procedures are being set out in a manual.
The analysis process has now been completed and the manual is in course of
preparation.
The markets in which real estate stock
corporations operate are affected by the
ongoing process of globalization and are
becoming increasingly complex. It is
management’s task to position the corporation correctly in this environment
and to decide and plan the course to be
followed. The Management Board has
qualified advisers at its disposal to help
in solving the numerous tax and legal
problems.
The progressive depreciation method used
by the corporation brings an increase in
depreciation charges on a real estate asset
as time progresses. This inevitably affects
profit. During the period in which fixed
interest rates apply to the long-term loans
for financing existing real estate acquisitions, this negative effect is offset by
decreasing interest charges as loans are
redeemed.
An issue of high priority to our corporation in its present phase of expansion and
high growth is availability of capital. Under
the favorable conditions now prevailing
in the financial markets there are adequate
supplies of loan capital available at low
interest rates. The management also makes
use of other instruments for acquiring
additional capital, including subscriptions
in kind of real estate assets in exchange
for new shares. At a later date the issue of
corporate bonds is planned. This is one
way of counteracting the effects of any
interest rate increase which could minimize the leverage effect. A positive leverage effect was obtained during the year
under review from financing by mortgage
loans.
| 33|
Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real estate investments are concentrated exclusively in
Germany. No transactions which could
endanger our corporation’s existence have
been undertaken. Deutsche Real Estate
AG pursues a policy of spreading risks
across a broad selection of properties and
regions. Investment funds are systematically allocated to conurbations, major
cities and regions with development potential, especially in west Germany, and
also to different types of use, especially
retail and other commercial use. Access
to the necessary local knowledge is obtained through our national network of
strategic holdings in regional agencies,
our local partners. This enables us to
react rapidly to local developments.
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Both opportunities and risks are inherent
in the letting of individual investment
properties. Our tenancy agreement monitoring procedure ensures maximum contractual coverage of these risks.
Additional insurance cover is taken out,
where possible, against other operational
risks. Under our active portfolio management policy we decide from case to case
whether to seek long-term tenancy agreements (up to 15 years) or only more
short-term agreements. Aspects like type
of property and market situation are key
factors influencing these decisions.
Responsibility for letting vacant space is
in the hands of the local partners but
subject to approval by the Management
Board. The strategic objective in all cases
is long-term capital appreciation rather
than short-term profit. A combination of
detailed planning at local (individual
building) level and regular reports is used
for the purposes of portfolio controlling
and analysis.
Ongoing technical control and supervision of our properties are covered by
contracts with specialized companies.
These contractors are involved prior to
acquisition of new properties and carry
out surveys to identify and evaluate any
hidden defects or environmental problems. We take out optimal insurance cover
through a specialized broker against all
risks to which the building itself is
exposed.
The process of ongoing adaptation of our
buildings to the changing needs of tenants and users is not confined merely to
technical developments. It also includes
considerations like trends in space requirements and fitting-out standards. The
HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group keeps
factors like the impact of modern communication techniques on the real estate
market under constant observation. The
group’s international activities enable it to
draw comparisons with developments in
other markets, for example, in the USA.
The Deutsche Real Estate AG management has unrestricted access to all the
group’s resources and available information.

Dependence report
As Deutsche Real Estate AG was not subject to any control agreement during fiscal year 2001, it has produced a report
on its relations with affiliated companies
pursuant to Section 312 of the German
Corporation Act (AktG). This report
closes with the following statement:
“In all the transactions described in this
report on its relations with affiliated
companies our corporation has without
exception received a fair and adequate
consideration under the circumstances
known to us at the time of the individual
transaction. No action was taken during
fiscal year 2001 which the corporation is
legally required to disclose.”

OUTLOOK
Economic forecasts for the year 2002 are
somewhat restrained. Although some
indicators appear to show that the US
economy is now recovering; the situation
remains highly uncertain.
On the assumption that no serious adverse events occur, economic experts are
now forecasting modest growth in the US
economy, roughly to last year’s level. This
will almost certainly be inadequate to give
any real impetus to the global economy.
Deepening of the present recession is
forecast for Japan and somewhat lower
growth for the countries of the European
Union.
Berlin, Gendarmenmarkt

This picture promises, at best, a certain
degree of recovery for the German economy. The letting market will continue
to exhibit widely varying trends from
region to region. The east German markets will continue to suffer from difficult
conditions, as also will the less attractive
markets in the western part of Germany.
Although demand for space at prime
locations in the large conurbations will
continue to run at a high level, the
clouded economic outlook will make it
difficult or impossible to repeat the results
reported for the years 2000 and 2001.
This applies particularly to the retail sector which will likely experience a sales
downturn in real terms unless impetus
comes from a revival of private sector demand. On the other hand, opportunities
are looking good for logistics complexes.
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Forecasters are predicting a slight downward trend in interest rates. This means
that the basic conditions for investors in
rented buildings will remain favorable.
Deutsche Real Estate AG is planning to
invest around t250 million in its real
estate portfolio during the current fiscal
year 2002. In view of the prevailing low
interest rates, this amount will once again
include a high proportion of loan capital.
This will induce positive leverage effects
that will increase the profitability of
Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real estate
portfolio.
Deutsche Real Estate AG will also use
any good opportunities for selective sale
of real estate in order to create new earnings potential. In the circumstances outlined above, the Deutsche Real Estate AG
Management Board is confident that
good results will once again be achieved
in fiscal 2002.
We are planning to continue on the present growth course over the medium term.
In order to attain the ambitious targets
we have set ourselves, we propose to make
greater use of capital stock increases up to
the authorized level against subscriptions
in both cash and kind.
Several investments in companies owning
and managing real estate were obtained
from a third party during fiscal 2001.The
purchase contracts provide for payment
in the form of either Deutsche Real
Estate AG or HBAG Real Estate AG
shares. Payment will fall due on or after
September 30, 2002 and management
will have to decide during the intervening period how this will be handled. One
option would be to obtain the Supervisory Board’s consent to use already authorized capital stock to acquire interests of
this kind in German companies subject
to the proviso that such acquisitions are
compatible with the corporation’s object.
This would obviate the need for payment
from the group’s own liquid resources or
from additional borrowings.
We expect the planned merger between
our majority stockholder HBAG Real
Estate AG and AGIV Real Estate AG, a
corporation included in the German
MDAX index, to give further impetus to
our business. Completion of this merger
will make Deutsche Real Estate AG part
of an even stronger group. We and the
highly qualified staff at our disposal are
planning to seize the opportunities
offered and to continue our policy of
successful growth.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HOLDING COMPANY
I.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The financial statements for fiscal 2001 have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the
German Commercial Code and Corporation Act. The financial statements as of December 31, 2001 are
presented in Euro for the first time. Figures for the previous year have been converted to Euro to facilitate
comparison.
II.
ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS
Intangible fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost less scheduled depreciation.
Tangible fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost less scheduled depreciation. The depreciation
rate is determined by tax regulations. The straight-line method of depreciation is used.
Individual low-value items have been written off in the year of their acquisition and listed in that year as
disposals.
Financial assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost (including ancillary acquisition costs) or value at
balance sheet date.
Receivables and other assets are shown at the lower of nominal or book value on the closing date.
Actuarial principles were used to calculate accruals for pensions by the discounted present value method.
The calculations were based on Heubeck biometric tables.
Other accruals have been made in amounts based on customary business judgment to cover all risks discernible at the closing date.
Liabilities are shown at the amounts payable. Amounts payable denominated in foreign currencies have been
converted at the higher of the rates applying on the day of the transaction or the rate at closing date. Contrary to last year’s procedure, liabilities to Roland Ernst are shown as trade payables (last year under “Other
liabilities”).

The land and buildings at Langener Strasse in Bremerhaven were sold during the fiscal year. The resulting
loss of €10,000 is shown under “Other operating expenses”.
The additions to fixed assets include capital stock increases for existing investment projects and new company formation including capital stock increases and acquisition/ancillary acquisition costs for interests
acquired in companies. The capital stock increases are mainly attributable to rounding up on conversion to
the Euro. The disposals are mainly attributable to sales of financial assets and rounding down totaling
€1,239,000 on conversion to the Euro.

(authorized capital stock II).
The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock. The Management Board is in all cases empowered,
subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock in cases where this may become necessary to avoid residual fractions of shares or to enable
the corporation to grant holders of option rights (i.e. of stock options or convertible bonds) to exercise those
preemptive rights which they would be entitled to exercise as stockholders. The Management Board is also
in all cases empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights
to subscribe to capital increases in the form of one or more issues of authorized capital stock in cases where
the nominal value of the capital stock increase does not exceed 10% of the capital stock registered in the
Commercial Register at the time of the first use of the authorized capital stock and where the price of the
newly issued shares is not substantially lower than the quoted prices of the shares already being traded on the

stock exchange on the date on which the issue price is finally agreed. The authorization contained in the
fourth sentence shall not apply in cases where the simplified provisions for exclusion of preemptive rights in
accordance with the fourth sentence of paragraph 3 of Section 186 of the German Corporation Act are
invoked for an authorization to sell a stockholder’s own shares privately.
In cases where preemptive rights are not excluded at the time of a capital stock increase within the limits of
the authorized capital stock, the Management Board can, subject to Supervisory Board consent, permit third
parties to acquire new shares against subscriptions in cash or in kind and inform stockholders that they should
not exercise their preemptive rights. The value of a subscription in kind must be determined by a qualified
independent appraiser using recognized valuation methods.
The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to decide the details of the
capital stock increase and its enactment. The Supervisory Board is empowered to amend Clause 4 of the
Articles of Incorporation according to the use of the authorized capital stock and after expiry of the deadline
of the authorization.
The subscribed capital stock can also be increased by a nominal amount of up to €770,000, subdivided into
770,000 no par value bearer shares for the exercise of stock options. This is a conditional capital stock
increase which will only take place to the extent that the holders of stock options issued in accordance with
the stockholders’ resolution at the Annual General Meeting on April 13, 1999 actually exercise these options.
Options on a total of 431,100 shares had been granted to directors and employees of affiliated companies as
of balance sheet closing date.
A resolution approved by the Annual General Meeting on August 31, 2000 authorizes Deutsche Real Estate
Aktiengesellschaft to acquire its own shares up to an amount of 10% of the registered share capital. This
authorization became effective as from October 1, 2000 and will remain so until March 30, 2002.

5. Revenue reserve
As in the previous year, the revenue reserve consists of the legally required reserve of €752,000 and other
retained earnings totaling €4,893,000.
6. Appropriation of net profit
The Management Board proposes that the net profit of €11,653,493.94 for the fiscal year 2001 be transferred to retained earnings.
7. Accruals for pensions and similar obligations
Actuarial principles are used to calculate accruals for pensions by the discounted present value method.
8. Tax accruals
The tax accruals include €592,000 for Corporation Tax and €32,000 for Solidarity Surcharge for fiscal year
2001. An accrual of €267,000 was created in 1999 solely as a precautionary measure for a possible Trade Tax
liability. However, as we have invoked Section 9, Item 2a of the Trade Tax regulations for the investment
income involved in this case, this should not be liable to Trade Tax. The tax assessments for fiscal year 1999
have not yet been finalized.
Most of the accruals of €674,000 (last year: €674,000) for deferred taxation have been calculated from the
differences between investment income received from the partnership subsidiaries and the lower amount of
taxable profit on which Deutsche Real Estate AG is assessed. The differences between the amounts shown for
investment income from the subsidiaries in the commercial balance sheet and in the tax balance sheet result
from the fact that the real estate owned by the subsidiaries is subject to progressive depreciation in the former
and straight-line depreciation of 4% per annum in the latter. A Corporation Tax rate of 25% and Solidarity
Surcharge rate of 5.5% were used to calculate the amount of the accrual for deferred taxation.
9. Other accruals
The main items under “Other accruals” are the cost of preparation and audit of the annual report and financial statements (€104,000), rental deposits (€67,000), management bonuses (€241,000), remuneration of
the Supervisory Board (€130,000), production of annual reports and publication costs (€160,000) and consultancy fees (€43,000).

FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
The corporation and one of its subsidiaries, Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft, signed undertakings to
the Bayerische Landesbank of Munich on December 21, 1999 relating to the granting of loans totaling
€76,693,000 to the wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft for the acquisition
of the Stinnes DIY markets.
| 57|
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
The corporation and Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft are liable jointly and severally to the Bayerische
Landesbank and gave the following undertakings to the bank which remain valid for the period during
which the loans remain outstanding
.
.
to provide the debtor companies with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the
loan agreements at all times;
to compensate the bank in full for any arrears outstanding at the end of any year and for losses incurred
through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency.
The corporation has issued letters of comfort for subsidiaries with the legal form “GmbH & Co. KG” to the
banks financing the properties belonging to these subsidiaries in the nominal amounts of the loans granted.
The value of these outstanding loans totaled €115,806,000 as of December 31, 2001.
Other financial obligations arise from an interest swap agreement signed on July 1, 1999 under which the
corporation undertook to pay interest at a rate of 4.93% per annum during the period from December 1,
1999 to December 1, 2004 on an amount declining successively from €61,355,000 on December 1, 1999
to €53,031,000 on December 1, 2004. In return, the corporation receives interest on the relevant amount at
the 1-month EURIBOR rate plus 0.5%. This agreement serves as a hedge against the interest risk on the
loans granted to the subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft.
The corporation has also given the following undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to a loan granted to DREAG Objekt Neu-Isenburg II GmbH & Co. KG of
Hamburg:
Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft hereby gives an undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral
Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to loans granted to the debtor company by DZ Bank AG

company without the prior written consent of the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of
Hamburg;

E S T A T E
The aforementioned undertakings given by Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft of Bremerhaven will
remain unchanged for the duration of any subsequent extensions of the loans granted to the debtor company
by the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg even if consent to the extension of
the loan has not been received on the date when the loan agreement expires.

AUDITORS’ REPORT
We have audited the accounting system, the financial statements and the management report of Deutsche
Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft for the fiscal year from January 1 to December 31, 2001. The accounting system and the preparation of the financial statements and management report in accordance with German
Commercial Law is the responsibility of the Corporation’s legal representatives. Our responsibility is to express an opinion, based on our audit, on the financial statements, including the accounting system, and on
the management report.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with Section 317 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and in compliance with the generally accepted German standards for the audit of financial
statements issued by the German Institute of Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer, IDW). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit in such a way as to obtain reasonable assurance that inaccuracies
and violations are recognized which significantly affect the presentation of the net worth, financial position
and results of operations as conveyed by the financial statements, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and by the management report. The scope of the audit was planned taking into account
our understanding of business operations, the Corporation’s economic and legal environment, and any
potential errors anticipated. In the course of the audit, the effectiveness of the system of internal accounting
controls was assessed, and the disclosures made in the financial statements and the management report were
verified, mainly on a test basis. The audit also includes assessment of the accounting principles used and of
the significant estimates made by the legal representatives as well as evaluation of the overall presentation of
the financial statements and the management report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
Our audit gave no cause for reservations.

E S T A T E
In our opinion, the financial statements present a true and fair view of Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft’s net worth, financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

of the Corporation and the risks to its future development.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2001 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the German Commercial Code and German Corporation law. The consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 2001 are presented in Euro for the first time. Figures for the previous year have been
converted to Euro to facilitate comparison.
II.
COMPANIES INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the holding company Deutsche
Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft of Bremerhaven and those of its direct and indirect subsidiaries in which an
interest of more than 50% is held. The number of subsidiary companies included in the consolidation rose
from 70 last year to 91. The newly included companies are new companies formed during the year 2001 and
K-Witt Kaufzentrum Wittenau GmbH, Berlin. The acquisition of K-Witt Kaufzentrum Wittenau GmbH
did not affect the profit and loss account for 2001 because it was only consolidated on December 31, 2001.
The main effects of the inclusion of K-Witt Kaufzentrum Wittenau GmbH was on the items “Consolidated
fixed assets” and “Liabilities to banks”. The newly formed companies had no effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
The 70.07% holding in BAKOLA Miteigentumsfonds I Objekt Duisburg-Averdunk was not included in the
consolidation. This company is of negligible significance for forming a true picture of the assets and financial
and earnings situation of the group as a whole.
The investment in DREAG Objekt Neu-Isenburg, Dornhofstrasse GmbH & Co. KG was disposed of during
the fiscal year under review. The final consolidation was made as of January 1, 2001.
We refer to the schedule of investment holdings on pages 66 to 71 which lists details of subsidiaries within
the meaning of Section 290 of the German Commercial Code which are also affiliated companies within the
meaning of Section 271, paragraph 2 of the German Commercial Code.
The group also owns interests in associated companies as defined in Section 311 of the German Commercial
Code.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
III.
METHODS USED IN THE CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of all the companies included in the
consolidation as of the same closing date. The book value method was used for the capital consolidation, the
acquisition costs being offset against the group’s share in the subscribed capital of the subsidiary companies at
the time of first consolidation (date of acquisition). Positive differences resulting from the capital consolidation are shown on the assets side of the balance sheet for those financial assets where current value exceeds
book value. Any residual differences are shown as goodwill.
Negative differences are shown as a separate item on the liabilities side.
An adjustment item covering the shares of other stockholders in the consolidated companies is shown
separately.
The equity method was used to value interests in associated companies as defined in Section 311 of the
German Commercial Code. The amount of the purchase price (book value) exceeding the group’s share in
the equity of associated companies is included under the item “Land and buildings, leasehold rights and
buildings, including buildings on third-party land”.
Inter-group receivables and payables have been netted.
Inter-group income has been netted against the corresponding expense items.
Profits on inter-group disposals of real estate have been eliminated. Tax deferrals have been created in
accordance with Section 306 of the German Commercial Code.

IV.
ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES USED IN THE CONSOLIDATION
The same accounting and valuation principles are uniformly applied throughout the Group.
Intangible fixed assets are shown at acquisition cost less scheduled depreciation. The difference on capital
consolidation shown as goodwill is written down over 15 years.
Tangible fixed assets are capitalized at acquisition cost. Buildings are written down progressively over a
40-year period. If the straight-line method had been used, the depreciation charge would have been higher.
Other tangible fixed assets are depreciated by the straight-line method over their anticipated useful life.
Low-value items are written off in the year of acquisition.
Financial assets are shown at the lower of acquisition cost or value at closing date.
Receivables and other assets are shown at nominal value or value at closing date, which ever is the lowest.
Actuarial principles were used to calculate accruals for pensions by the discounted present value method.
Other accruals have been made in amounts based on customary business judgment to cover all risks
discernible at the closing date.
Liabilities are shown at the amounts payable. Amounts payable denominated in foreign currencies have
been translated at the higher of the rate applying on the day of the transaction or the rate at closing date.
Contrary to the last year’s procedure, liabilities to Roland Ernst are shown as trade payables (last year under
“Other liabilities”).

2. Receivables and other current assets
All receivables and other current assets fall due for payment within one year. The main items included under
“Other current assets” are tax refund claims of €4,252,000 and outstanding loans granted of €1,146,000.
3. Subscribed capital
The corporation’s capital stock was decreased by €417,000 from €18,897,000 to €18,480,000 at the
Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2001 by the simplified procedure. It is subdivided into 18,480,000
no par value bearer shares.
The Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2001 approved the following amendment to the Corporation’s
Articles of Incorporation relating to the capital stock:
capital stock against subscriptions in cash or in cash and kind by one or more issues of new no par value
bearer shares up to a maximum total value of €4,620,000 (authorized capital stock) between now and
April 13, 2004.
up to a maximum total value of €4,620,000 (authorized capital stock) between now and May 17, 2006
(authorized capital stock II).
subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock in cases where this may become necessary to avoid fractional shares or to enable the corporation to grant holders of option rights (i.e. of stock options or convertible bonds) to exercise those preemptive rights which they would be entitled to exercise as stockholders. The Management Board is also in all
cases empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to
subscribe to capital increases in the form of one or more issues of authorized capital stock in cases where the
nominal value of the capital stock increase does not exceed 10% of the capital stock registered in the Commercial Register at the time of first use of the authorized capital stock and where the price of the newly
issued shares is not substantially lower than the quoted prices of the shares already being traded on the stock
exchange on the date on which the issue price is finally agreed. The authorization contained in the fourth
| 80|
D E U T S C H E
R E A L
E S T A T E
sentence shall not apply in cases where the simplified provisions for exclusion of preemptive rights pursuant
to the fourth sentence of paragraph 3 of Section 186 of the German Corporation Act are invoked for an
authorization to sell a stockholder’s own shares privately.
In cases where preemptive rights are not excluded at the time of a capital stock increase within the limits of
the authorized capital stock, the Management Board can, subject to Supervisory Board consent, permit third
parties to acquire new shares against subscriptions in cash or in kind and inform stockholders that they
should not exercise their preemptive rights. The value of a subscription in kind must be determined by a
qualified independent appraiser using recognized valuation methods.
capital stock increase and its enactment. The Supervisory Board is empowered to amend Clause 4 of the
Articles of Incorporation according to the use of the authorized capital stock and after expiry of the deadline
of the authorization.
The subscribed capital can also be increased by a nominal amount of up to €770,000, subdivided into
770,000 no par value bearer shares. This is a conditional capital stock increase which will only take place to
the extent that the holders of stock options issued in accordance with the stockholders’ resolution at the
Annual General Meeting on April 13, 1999 actually exercise these options.
Options on a total of 431,100 shares had been granted to directors and employees of affiliated companies as
balance sheet date.
A resolution approved by the Annual General Meeting on August 31, 2000 authorizes Deutsche Real Estate
Aktiengesellschaft to acquire its own shares up to an amount of 10% of the registered share capital. This
authorization became effective as from October 1, 2000 and will remain so until March 30, 2002.

5. Revenue reserve
The revenue reserve consists of reserves of €5,645,000 in the holding company and reserves of €101,000
formed in the subsidiaries during their period of membership of the group.
6. Accruals for pensions and similar obligations
Actuarial principles were used to calculate accruals for pensions and assume a 6% return on capital. They
relate to pension obligations for a former executive director.
7. Tax accruals
Accruals for deferred taxation have been created in the financial statements of Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft and Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft and included without adjustment in the consolidated
financial statements.
Most of the accruals for deferred taxation have been calculated from the differences between investment
income from the partnership subsidiaries and the lower amount of taxable profit on which Deutsche Real
Estate AG is assessed. The differences between the amounts shown for investment income from the subsidiaries in the commercial balance sheet and in the tax balance sheet result from the fact that the real estate
owned by the subsidiaries is subject to progressive depreciation in the former and straight-line depreciation of
4% per annum in the latter. A Corporation Tax rate of 25% and Solidarity Surcharge rate of 5.5% were used
to calculate the amount of the accrual for deferred taxation.
8. Other accruals
The main items under “Other accruals” are accounts payable for construction work (€1,506,000), outstanding accounts payable (€1,500,000) and accruals for maintenance (€818,000).

This item relates mainly to income of €14,112,000 from the sale of real estate. The properties at Oberanger
in Munich and Neu-Isenburg I and II were sold during the fiscal year under review.
This item relates mainly to expenditure on real estate assets (€5,341,000), write-down of receivables
(€404,000), costs of asset management (€1,914,000), losses on foreign exchange (€1,113,000) and cost of

VII.
MARKET SEGMENT REPORT
The Group can be subdivided into two sectors corresponding to its legal structure:
Commercial real estate scheduled for mixed use (retail and office space),
Shopping (retail).
.
.
The sale of 94% of the investment in DREAG Objekte Nordenham GmbH & Co. KG by Deutsche Real
Estate AG in the year 2000 more or less eliminated the former residential segment, which consequently no
longer appears in the market segment report.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
The corporation signed undertakings to the Bayerische Landesbank of Munich on December 21, 1999 relating to the granting of loans totaling €76,693,000 to the wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping
Aktiengesellschaft for the acquisition of the Stinnes DIY markets.
The corporation and Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft are liable jointly and severally to the Bayerische
Landesbank and gave the following undertakings to the bank which remain valid for the period during
which the loans remain outstanding
.
.
to provide the debtor companies with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the
through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency.
The corporation has issued letters of comfort in the nominal amounts of the loans granted to the banks
which have granted loans for financing the individual properties. The value of these outstanding loans
totaled €115,806,000 as of December 31, 2001.
Other financial obligations arise from an interest swap agreement signed on July 1, 1999 under which the
corporation undertook to pay interest at a rate of 4.93% per annum during the period from December 1,
1999 to December 1, 2004 on an amount declining successively from €61,355,000 on December 1, 1999
to €53,031,000 on December 1, 2004. In return, the corporation receives interest on the relevant amount at
the 1-month EURIBOR rate plus 0.5%. This agreement serves as a hedge against the interest risk on the
loans granted to the subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft.
The corporation has also given the following undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to a loan granted to DREAG Objekt Neu-Isenburg II GmbH & Co. KG
of Hamburg:

.
not to change, cancel or withdraw its interest in the debtor company or take action to liquidate the debtor
company without the prior written consent of the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of
Hamburg;
to provide the debtor company with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the
through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency
during the period in which the loans remain outstanding.
The undertakings given by Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft of Bremerhaven will remain unchanged
for the duration of any subsequent extensions of the loans granted to the debtor company by the DZ Bank AG
Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg even if consent to the extension of the loan has not
been received on the date when the loan agreement expires.

AUDITORS’ REPORT
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the management report of the holding company
and the group of Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft for the fiscal year from January 1 to December 31,
2001. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and group management report in accordance
with German Commercial Law is the responsibility of the Corporation’s legal representatives. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion, based on our audit, on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report.
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Section 317 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and in compliance with the generally accepted German standards for the audit
of financial statements issued by the German Institute of Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer, IDW).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit in such a way as to obtain reasonable assurance
that inaccuracies and violations are recognized which significantly affect the presentation of the net worth,
financial position and results of operations as conveyed by the consolidated financial statements, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and by the group management report. The scope of the
audit was planned taking into account our understanding of business operations, the Corporation’s economic
and legal environment, and any potential errors anticipated. In the course of the audit, the effectiveness of the
system of internal accounting controls was assessed, and the disclosures made in the consolidated financial
statements and the group management report were verified, mainly on a test basis. The audit also includes
assessment of the financial statements of the companies to be included in the consolidation, determination of
the companies to be included in the consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and of
the significant estimates made by the legal representatives as well as evaluation of the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements and the group management report. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit gave no cause for reservations.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present a true and fair view of the group’s net worth,
financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In all
material respects the group management report correctly and accurately presents the situation of the group
and the risks to its future development.

SUPERVISORY BOARD REPORT
Further good progress was made in Deutsche Real Estate AG’s development as a real estate investment corporation practising active asset and portfolio management. The corporation’s market position has improved.
The objectives that the corporation set itself have all been attained. The real estate portfolio managed by
Deutsche Real Estate AG at the end of fiscal year 2001 was valued at just under €1 billion. It is planned to
continue enlargement of the portfolio at the same rate with the objective of reaching dimensions similar to
those of open-ended real estate investment funds.
The Supervisory Board has borne this strategic objective in mind in the performance of its legal and statutory
responsibilities during fiscal year 2001and has advised the Management Board and supervised its activities
accordingly. The members of the Supervisory Board have been kept regularly informed by the Management
Board, both verbally and in written reports, of the general business situation and of important individual
events and have, after due discussion with the Management Board, approved all necessary resolutions for the
corporation’s further development. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board has been in regular contact with
the Management Board.
Four Supervisory Board meetings were held: on March 1, May 17, September 10 and December 3, 2001
respectively. At these meetings the Supervisory Board discussed the financial situation and business activities
of Deutsche Real Estate AG and its subsidiaries, their general business progress and planned business policy
on matters ranging from investment and acquisition projects to the corporation’s strategic development. It
received from the Management Board in the form of written quarterly reports and verbal reports at the board
meetings details of real estate investments and acquisitions and of the financing arranged for these. The most
important single subjects discussed in this connection related to the acquisition of an undeveloped site on
which it is planned to construct an office building, and the acquisition of shares in four real estate companies
in a package deal involving a logistics center and three office complexes, all located in Berlin.
The Supervisory Board formed a Real Estate Committee at its meeting in September 2001. No other committees have been formed. Resolutions were approved at the Supervisory Board meetings or, in urgent cases,
by written procedures on all business transactions requiring the consent of the Supervisory Board or the Real
Estate Committee, either by law or under the Articles of Incorporation.

Both the holding company’s and the consolidated financial statements as well as the management report of
the holding company and the group as at December 31, 2001 have been audited by KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft of Hamburg with reference to the corporation’s general accounts. The auditors have issued their report without reservations.
All documents relating to the financial statements including the Management Board’s report and recommendation on appropriation of profit and the auditors’ report for fiscal year 2001 were submitted to the Supervisory Board for detailed examination prior to the board meeting on March 5, 2002. These were discussed
with the Management Board in the auditor’s presence at this meeting. The Supervisory Board noted the
results of the audit with approval and recorded that its own examination of the documents had given rise to
no objections.
The Supervisory Board approved and adopted the financial statements for fiscal year 2001 compiled by the
Management Board for Deutsche Real Estate AG. The Supervisory Board concurs with the Management
Board’s proposal for appropriation of the profit for the year.
In compliance with Section 312 of the German Corporation Act (AktG) the Management Board has prepared a report on its relations with affiliated companies and has included the mandatory final statement in
its management report. The auditor, KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft of Hamburg, has examined this report and issued the following certificate:
“We have duly examined and assessed the report and hereby certify that:
(1) the information contained therein is correct,
(2) the payments made by the corporation in the transactions listed therein were not unduly high.”
On completion of its examination, the Supervisory Board hereby confirms that it has no objections to the
statement on relations with affiliated companies made by the Management Board at the end of its report.
