Real estate is our strength.
IVG is one of Europe’s major listed real estate companies, with
property under management worth some €6.3 billion – including
€3.3 billion in its own real estate portfolio.
We pursue a clear strategy in our core activities of portfolio
management, project development and investment funds:
Focus on office properties and business parks in major European
cities and growth regions
Upgrading of the existing real estate portfolio
Demand-driven project development
Exploitation of cyclical differences between real estate markets
Development of the funds business
Combined with our value-driven corporate philosophy, this is a
strategy for continued profitable growth.
IVG synergizes the property and capital markets for private and
institutional investors.

Letter to our shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
IVG successfully exploited the opportunities offered by Europe’s real estate markets in 2003:
Good performances in a tough economic climate.
Proposed dividend matching the previous year’s high level.
185,000 m2 in new lettings, against market trend.
Entered the attractive Helsinki property market by acquiring POLAR Real Estate Corporation.
Profitable disposals in stable investment markets.
2004 saw a pivotal change in share ownership at IVG. The 49.9% stake held by Sirius – until then IVG’s
largest shareholder – was taken over by Sal. Oppenheim Bank (25.1%), HSH Nordbank (11.16%), DZBank, WGZ-Bank and IKB Deutsche Industriebank. The Board of Management greets the new ownership structure. With their strong capital base and experience in real estate, the new owners can actively
support and secure the continuation of IVG’s successful European strategy for the long term.
Good business year
IVG held its course in a tough economic climate. Net asset value – a key indicator reflecting the underlying value of a listed real estate company’s shares – was raised 1.8% to €14.41 per share. Group
net income, at €66.5 million, was only about 5.5% short of the previous year’s high figure. Due to the
POLAR acquisition, net rents rose from €226.1 million to €232.8 million. Lettings were also up, with a
grand total of 185,000 m2 newly let by IVG. The earnings figures allow the Board of Management and
Supervisory Board to propose a dividend matching the previous year’s high level of €0.34 per share.
Positive net lettings
IVG once again achieved positive net new lettings in 2003, bucking the market trend of falling rents.
trump the market
New tenancies were €27.6 million, compared with terminations to the value of €26.6 million. The quality of our portfolio and the proximity of our branch offices around Europe to their markets and customers contributed to the strong figure for new tenancies.

In addition, calls to institute tax transparency for property investment companies present a first opportunity to create an analogue to the real estate investment trusts (REITs) allowed in countries such as the
USA, France and the Netherlands. This could give a marked boost to German real estate shares.

Acquisition of Wert-Konzept was completed with effect from 1 January 2003 and the company is now
integrated into the IVG Group. Wert-Konzept are long-standing and highly regarded initiators of closedend real estate funds. The end of 2003 saw the issue of »EuroSelect 07« – the first multinational fund
to combine Wert-Konzept and IVG expertise.

After a relatively brief run-up, IVG Immobilien KAG gained approval to engage in investment business
from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in February 2003. Through the new
company, IVG will serve the strong investor interest in open-end funds.
IVG thus provides a one-stop service offering investors the right indirect property investment to match
their varying risk/yield requirements.
Real estate expertise
IVG synergizes property and capital markets with a strategy founded on three main pillars:
and synergies from a
European network
IVG’s origins and expertise are in the property markets. IVG has a local presence in those markets
through its branch offices, which serve as property scouts and managers for all investment products.
A market-proven balance of local expertise and global management policies speeds decisionmaking and action.
With a portfolio under management worth 6.3 billion, IVG can judge opportunities and risks in
property investment with the heightened awareness of experienced owners.
Teamwork
IVG’s success is due in no small part to the vast real estate expertise and committed work of all IVG
in Europe
employees around Europe, to whom we extend special thanks and recognition. Raising the earning
power and value of IVG is a challenge which all will continue to meet with motivation and tenacity. More
than ever before, Europe offers outstanding opportunities for those prepared to work hard. We will take
these opportunities together, so stay invested!

2003 was another dynamic year in portfolio management:
An 85% stake was acquired in POLAR, a Finnish listed real estate company.
134,000 m2 of lettable space – 78,000 m2 in Germany and 56,000 m2 elsewhere in Europe – was let
out in a hard business climate.
The effective occupancy rate at the end of 2003 was 91.5% – above the market average including
signed tenancies yet to enter into force, the occupancy rate was 93.9%.
Favourable European investment markets were used to make sales in Belgium, Finland, France,
Germany, Spain and the UK.
The market value of our own real estate portfolio was €3.3 billion as at 31 December 2003.
Segment turnover increased from €283.7 million in 2002 to €294.3 million in 2003. This figure includes
net rent revenues, which increased from €223.1 million to €230.2 million. This is primarily due to the
acquisition of POLAR.
Due to higher profits from property sales, segment earnings improved from €169.7 million to €196.2
million.

Acquisitions

Our real estate acquisitions target long-term earning potential and sustained growth in value:
real estate
Acquisitions are concentrated in major European cities and growth centres whose economies and
real estate markets show good development prospects.
We primarily invest in office properties and business parks.
Investments are preferably made at locations where IVG already has an experienced management
team or can build one up in the medium term.
Acquisitions focus on properties which IVG can enhance in value by suitable upgrading measures.
Another key area comprises purchasing real estate packages, real estate companies and properties
under forced sale. Transactions of this kind offer attractive entry prices.

IVG acquired the Helsinki-listed POLAR Real Estate Corporation in autumn 2003. IVG has since increased its stake, from 85% at the year-end to over 95% in March 2004.
The takeover opens up the emerging Finnish real estate market for IVG. The country is considered one
of the world’s best investment locations and has good growth prospects. Growth rates have topped the
EU average for several years. In contrast with many other EU member states, fiscal revenues exceed
government spending. Public debt is only some 40% of GDP. There are already signs that GDP is set
to rise in 2004. The positive economic and policy data combined with proximity to emerging Eastern
European markets bode well for renewed upward momentum in the Finnish real estate market.
At the time of IVG’s acquisition, POLAR commanded 38 properties with a total of 297,000 m2 of let-

Quality assures

growth in value-in-use and realizable value – location and rental income being the key determinants of
the selling price of a commercial property.
One of the keys to our success in the letting business is actively looking after our tenants and properties. The combination of high-quality, functional and economic buildings with professional on-site customer service produces satisfied customers more likely to select an IVG property for their corporate
headquarters. Our most recent customer satisfaction survey, in autumn 2003, revealed that 95% of
our tenants are satisfied and 91% would recommend us as lessors of commercial premises. This is
the result of an active customer service programme in place since 1999, combining customer recruitment and service by branch offices with standardized, centrally administered quality assurance. Special
incentives are provided under the IVG Value Service offering a wide range of products and services at
outstanding value. These include office furniture and supplies, hotel accommodation, car rental, corporate image and communication consultancy, event marketing, business startup and financial advice,
and much more.
In total as at 31 December 2003, IVG controlled 1.7 million m2 of lettable space in its own portfolio
and looked after 2,150 tenants under 2,800 tenancy agreements. IVG realized 35% of net rent in 2003
with its ten largest tenants. In terms of industry affiliation, IVG tenants are evenly divided between
old-economy companies, public agencies and modern, financially well placed service and technology
firms.

ALCAMPO, MADRID
The Alcampo office building in Madrid illustrates the close connection between purchase, letting and sale at IVG. The building immediately adjoins Spain’s second largest shopping centre, La Vaguada.
It serves as the headquarters of the Alcampo supermarket chain.
IVG acquired the property through a subsidiary in 2000. The tenancy
stipulated a rent adjustment to market rates as at 1 January 2003. To
secure the location, tenants Alcampo were prepared to extend the
▲
tenancy a further five years to a total of ten and to accept a significant

increase in rent. With effect from the end of the year, IVG sold the

No. 173-175, Boulevard Haussmann in Paris is an example of a successful major letting at a low point on the economic cycle. The location is in the financial district near the Champs Elysées, an area known for its intricate assemblage of historical buildings. The classical
Boulevard Haussmann building has 10,600 m2 of lettable space and parking for 205 cars. IVG initially considered a full modernization
after the last tenants moved out in 2003. Instead, thanks to the strong market presence of IVG‘s Parisian office, the building was relet without standing empty for any length of time to L’Immobilière du CMN, a subsidiary of the major French bank Crédit Mutuel Nord
Europe; the new tenants are also undertaking the refurbishment.

IVG lets out storage space for petroleum, petroleum products and natural gas in caverns and tank farms
– our underground real estate. The tenants are companies in the energy sector and bodies responsible
for maintaining strategic oil reserves.
The largest storage facility operated by IVG is the Etzel caverns facility near Wilhelmshaven. Of the
39 caverns at Etzel, 33 belong to the German state and 6 to IVG. A seventh IVG cavern is currently

and approximately 500 million m3 of working gas. The stored fuels represent a significant contribution
towards securing the German and Dutch energy supply. IVG also operates tank farms in Germany and
Poland with a total capacity of 218,000 m3.

Sales
Property sales are a major source of income for IVG and a key part of our business. Properties are mostly sold following significant recent value gains as a result of:
Modernization.
Exploiting development reserves.
Improving a building’s tenancy profile (higher occupancy rate, new tenants with better financial
standing, higher net rent per unit area, increasing the term on tenancies).
A general upturn in the local property market.
Using cyclical
An upturn in the property market cycle is a particularly good opportunity to realize gains in value. IVG
differences between
used the abating real estate market crisis of the 1990s to make purchases in Central and Western
markets lowers risk
Europe and has since resold many properties at a profit after several years of rising markets. Rather
than moving in lockstep, the markets in different cities and regions tend to peak and trough at different
times. Investing at multiple locations around Europe allows IVG to »ride the cycle« by exploiting such
asynchronies. This can be shown by correlation analysis of European prime office rents: weak or negative correlations are an opening to reduce risk by diversifying and exploiting cyclical differences, selling
in one city at the tail end of a boom and reinvesting the proceeds in another city about to embark on a
cyclic upturn.
In 2003, IVG took the opportunity to sell where demand was strong for quality real estate. Sales were
made by the IVG branch offices in Brussels, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Helsinki, London, Madrid, Munich
and Paris.

SWEDEN HOUSE, BRUSSELS
Sweden House in Brussels is an example of the rapid and successful sale of a
high-quality office property by IVG. The 7,200 m2 building is located in Quartier
Léopold, the EU district and Brussels’ most sought-after office location. IVG acquired it in 2001 as part of a share deal. Minor conversion work was carried out
and a number of tenancies signed or extended over the ensuing months. 2003
saw a new tenant move in: the European Space Agency (ESA), which coordinates
its activities with EU institutions from the building. In the same year, IVG sold
Sweden House together with another building to Arab investors DMI. The sale
was effected by a share deal, which minimizes the high transfer costs that would
Sweden House
otherwise be incurred in Belgium.

A sale in London exemplifies the profitable resale of a property acquired as part of
a larger package. When IVG took it over in 1999, the Swedish property group Asticus AB was nearing completion of a development comprising two office buildings
with a total lettable space of 14,900 m2 on Great Marlborough Street in London’s
West End. 4,800 m2 was sold in 2000 and the remaining 10,100 m2 went to a
Greek investor in 2003.

Project development
IVG development projects were snapped up by tenants and buyers all over Europe in 2003, rewarding
IVG’s strategy of producing top-quality developments in line with market needs:
IVG total value:
1.1 billion
IVG worked with top-notch partners on development projects worth €2.1 billion in 2003; IVG accounted for €1.1 billion of this total while keeping its capital commitment below €400 million.
Lettings in 2003 totalled 51,000 m2, comprising 41,000 m2 in Germany and 10,000 m2 elsewhere in
Europe.
IVG project development activities in 2003 generated turnover of €87.0 million (2002: €160.6 million)
and operating earnings of €5.3 million (2002: €49.1 million). Turnover and earnings were down because
the 2002 figures had included the sale of Gresham Street, IVG’s biggest ever development project.
Accounts were not settled on any major projects in 2003. Factoring out Gresham Street, turnover and
operating earnings increased compared with 2002.
Development projects elsewhere in Europe are undertaken by IVG branch offices or experienced local
partners.
In Germany, IVG consolidated and reinforced its project development capabilities during the year under
review. Wert-Konzept Projektentwicklung and Tercon combined to form a single unit under the Tercon
name. As a result, various technical and commercial functions have been expanded and geared to pull
together.

IVG generates attractive returns with project development while systematically minimizing risk. Clear
risk control principles are applied to this end:
The IVG share of development projects must not exceed around one third by value of the IVG real
estate portfolio.
The strict investment criteria applied to portfolio properties apply equally to development projects.
Project appraisal draws on IVG’s own pan-European research and the wealth of experience furnished
by branch office property experts.
IVG works with top-calibre contractors to minimize quality, cost and timing risk.
Margins between 10% and 20% must be attainable depending on the project’s location, type of use
and degree of advancement.
A global project controlling function monitors ongoing projects and performs risk assessment on a
continuous basis.
Selected development projects current in 2003
IVG is developing several projects in Berlin through Tercon, its project development subsidiary:
Berlin
Wert-Konzept developed Classicon, a combined commercial-residential building on Leipziger Platz, as
general project contractor for IVG. The eleven-storey building is part of an assemblage which restores
Leipziger Platz to its earlier octagonal form. IVG sold the project to an open-end real estate fund soon
after construction began. It is now used by Stinnes AG.

Also on Leipziger Platz, Hannover Leasing engaged Tercon as general project contractor for KanadaHaus. About 6,500 m2 of the 19,000 m2 building will be used by the Canadian embassy. Tercon is also
commissioned with marketing the remainder.
In a joint venture with Rendata, Tercon is general project contractor for Stettiner Carrée – a development at Berlin’s Nordbahnhof rail station comprising four office buildings with a project value of €160
million. The ensemble is let to Deutsche Bahn – which is using it to bring together much of its corporate
headquarters – and has been sold to a company in the Deutsche Bank group.
Tercon has further Berlin projects in the planning or building stage at Salzufer, on Unter den Linden, in
Hackescher Markt and on the banks of the Spree in Kreuzberg.

IVG’s hands when IVG took over Asticus in 1999. The property
is handily sited on the Brussels inner ring road, at the edge of
Quartier Léopold where the main EU institutions are found.
The new, rejuvenated Madou Plaza will be finished by the end
of 2004. The expanded tower is receiving an attractive glass
frontage, new utilities and a variable-floorplan interior layout. A
7,000 m2 extension featuring a generous atrium houses offices
and a conference centre. The 33-storey building will be the tallest structure in the European capital. Letting prospective: EU.

Budapest
IVG has been in Budapest since the late 1990s and has completed a number of projects in the city centre. Some 100,000 m2 of office space is currently being built in Infopark Budapest. Half of it is already

Infopark Budapest is a key IVG project in one of the new EU member states. IVG began developing the accessibly situated site near
the Technical University and the Danube in 1998. Three buildings are complete and mostly let; construction of a further office building with 13,400 m2 of lettable space commenced at the end of 2003. Infopark is designed to house branch offices of international
firms alongside local businesses. In addition to the office buildings, it also has a service centre with communication and catering
facilities. Major tenants in the first three buildings include Hewlett-Packard and Hungary’s market-leading telecoms and Internet
service providers Matáv and Axelero. Matáv has bought the building it uses. Onward development and completion of the Infopark
depends on demand and is looked after by the IVG branch office with the aid of locally experienced project developers.

Global Gate
Location: Düsseldorf, Type of use: Office
Site area: 33,600 m2 in three construction phases (phase 1: 10,000 m2 sold / phase 2: 12,600 m2 / phase 3 in preparation: 11,000 m2)
Occupancy rate: 63% (phase 2 only)
Global Gate – an IVG office development in Düsseldorf – shows that there are openings in the German office market even at difficult
times. It is located on Grafenberger Allee, between the city centre and leafy suburbs. A number of German household names have
taken up residence in the area, including including Deutsche Bank, Thyssen-Krupp, SMS and Metro with its corporate headquarters.
The first construction phase of Global Gate, completed by IVG in 2002, is let to a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom and was sold to
an open-end real estate fund.
Almost all of the second phase was let in 2003 despite the difficult market situation. Tenants include international companies such
as the Finnish office chair manufacturers Nowy Styl, TUI subsidiary TQ 3 Travel Solutions, Metro, Weight Watchers and Chubb
Insurance. With these lettings, the complex has attained its eponymous status as Düsseldorf’s global business gateway.
The third phase will offer the tried and tested combination of high quality and commercial amenity.

Preparations continue for construction of Airrail, a major development fully integrated with Frankfurt

five-star hotel rooms and more than 70,000 m2 of office space. Le Meridien plans to create one of the
world’s most prestigious airport hotels with high-end interior appointment specially designed for Airrail.
As a result, 32% of the total space at Airrail is already let before construction even begins.
London
IVG has achieved promising further progress with its London activities following its highly successful
Gresham Street and Great Marlborough Street projects. IVG modernized 20 Soho Square and let some
4,000 m2 of the 5,600 m2 office building to Hill and Knowlton, an advertising agency. Preparations commenced for refurbishment of the former headquarters of Lloyds TSB Bank in Lombard Street.
Helsinki
IVG acquired a promising development project together with its majority stake in Finland’s POLAR. The
Jumbo shopping centre near the airport – the second largest in Finland, with a floor area of 53,800 m2
– is gaining another 28,400 m2 of retail space.

business leverages
Our funds complement IVG shares as a vehicle allowing private and institutional investors to tap into
our active presence and deep experience in European property markets.
IVGs expertise
German institutional investors are looking to buy into property abroad and – rather than buying outright
as they would do at home – prefer to invest indirectly through institutional real estate funds. With
property-based tax-saving strategies on the decline, private investors are increasingly turning to yieldoriented investments. Difficult property markets make an experienced guide with local presence a key
success factor.
IVG is well placed to serve institutional and private investors. Access to attractive investment products,
experience in active portfolio management and a network of branch offices in major European cities and
growth centres give a competitive edge. IVG projects a sharply defined market presence by its clear
focus on office and commercial property in Europe.
IVG actively exploited the strategic opportunities in 2003 to consolidate and expand funds activities for
institutional and private investors. In total, IVG manages a real estate portfolio worth €3 billion for third
parties.

As of 2003, IVG is stepping up its involvement in the open-end real estate fund business. In spring,
New IVG
IVG Immobilien KAG gained approval to carry on investment business from BaFin, Germany’s Federal
investment company
Financial Supervisory Authority. IVG Immobilien Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH, to cite its full name,
is a specialized financial institution coming under Sec. 1 of the German Banking Act (KWG) and BaFin
supervision. Its activities consist of issuing and managing real estate funds as defined in the German
Investment Funds Act (KAGG) (which was superseded by the German Investment Act (InvG) on 1 January 2004). Known as open-end real estate funds, these are especially popular among investors due to
their transparency and security.
For the time being, IVG is concentrating on real estate funds for institutional investors such as insurance
companies and pension funds. Over €13 billion is currently invested in institutional real estate funds
in Germany. The flow of money into institutional real estate funds is expected to continue growing,
primarily due to the growth market in company pensions, investment strategies with greater emphasis
on real estate and a shift in investment patterns from direct to indirect vehicles.
Its risk spread and stability makes real estate an attractive buy for institutional investors. But professionally looking after property takes a lot of management effort and expert knowledge.

In December, IVG Immobilien KAG issued two real estate funds: IVG Europa Invest Nr. 1 and IVG

anticipate that the funds will generate sustained, above-average returns.

promoters Wert-Konzept
vides a sound basis on which to decide when it comes to certain kinds of mostly long-term investment
– bringing forecasting risk down to a low level unattainable for other indirect property investments.
As a result, closed-end real estate funds have kept a strong place among property investments, proving
wrong all predictions to the contrary. Some €4.5 billion in equity flowed into closed-end funds in 2003.
The total value of real estate assets held in closed-end funds exceeds €150 billion, well above the €85
billion assets of all open-end real estate funds.
IVG plans to place greater focus on closed-end real estate funds. We consider ourselves well placed to
expand this business in view of our Europe-wide branch office network and considerable experience in
the structuring, value-sustaining management and timely sale of real estate investments. Investment
products structured in this way will be promoted in future through an IVG-owned marketing management company. To this end, IVG has increased its stake in Wert-Konzept, a funds marketing company
of long standing, from 40% to 100%. After strengthening the workforce and structure of its marketing
arm, Wert-Konzept increased marketed equity in 2003 by 140% compared with the previous year, to
€46 million. The target for 2004 is further growth to €100 million.
Marketing in 2003 centred around two closed-end funds: »Ertragsfonds 5« and »EuroSelect 07«. The
first of these was issued in 2002 and all units were sold in 2003. The fund assets are two office buildings in Frankfurt am Main and Bonn. The two properties are let under long-term tenancies to Dresdner

holds and businesses held back with spending due to the shaky outlook and governments were forced
to save by high levels of public debt.
A look at Europe’s countries and regions reveals a varied picture. Countries in Central Eastern Europe
have relatively high growth rates. Though not spared the effects of the weak global and Western European economy, these were through the worst of the recession and are now attractive investment locations in view of their impending EU accession. This region is expected to continue delivering Europe’s
top growth rates in the coming years. Among existing EU members, the UK and Spain turned the corner
and already saw their growth rates pick up in 2003.
Inflation in EU member states ranges between 1.2% and 2.9%. Combined with low interest rates this
makes for a good climate for business investment.

supply of new space. Projects initiated at the height of the millennium boom were now coming onto
the market. Large amounts of space were also available for subletting.
Space turnover varied from city to city across Europe. While demand in London, Milan, Berlin and Barcelona dropped between 10% and 23%, Brussels saw demand growth of 96%, Prague 47% and Madrid 21% – after a weak preceding year – no less than 40%. Turnover remained at previous year’s levels
in the main German office locations except Berlin, and in Frankfurt was even up 21%. However, many
companies were taking advantage of the current market situation to let new units on better terms.
A total of 7.06 million m2 of office space was let in the 19 main cities in 2003. The 2002 figure had been
6.65 million. The weighted average relative growth rate in 16 key Western European office markets
was 5%. The three major cities of Central Eastern Europe saw growth of 14%, albeit from a far lower
starting point.
For property market research, IVG draws on the expertise of its own branch offices and of local specialist estate
agents, supplemented by a centrally managed cooperation with international real estate consultants Cushman &
Wakefield Healey & Baker (CWHB). This double-checking of market information is necessary because there are
no central clearing points for the real estate market.

Western Europe rental market
Top rents down,
City centre oversupply caused another slight decrease in top rents in most office markets – by a weigh-
vacancy rates up
ted average of 11% in 16 key Western European cities, as against 9% in Central Eastern Europe. There
were exceptions in both West and East: In the West, Brussels saw rents climb 10.1% fuelled by strong
demand in the EU quarter, Quartier Léopold; rents in Budapest rose 5.5%.
A trend taking hold in many regions is a shift in the emphasis of demand away from city centres and
towards accessibly situated peripheral locations. This was especially plain in Paris. The main causal
factor is heightened cost awareness among tenants, who take advantage of lower rents and the wide
range of large modern units on offer in the banlieue. As a result, average office rents in Europe’s major
cities held up better than top rents: office rents fell in only 7 of 19 monitored cities, stayed level in 10
and rose in Brussels and Paris.

With large quantities of new buildings still coming onto the market and many tenants still cutting back
on space, vacancy rates rose at all key Western European locations, with the strongest increase in
Lisbon, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. The latter’s 18% vacancy rate for office space was higher than any
other major European city.
Supply was further swelled by office users trying to part-sublet their premises. Endeavours of this kind
were most evident in the financial centres London and Frankfurt, each of which saw over 500,000 m2
or more than 5% of all downtown office space available for subletting. Few such offers were taken up,
however, as tenants usually prefer to deal with the actual owner of a property. This gives greater room
for manoeuvre and is less risky, avoiding dependence on a primary tenant.
Overall, most European property markets appear to have reached firmer ground in 2003, with top rents
falling less steeply and vacancy rates increasing far less sharply than the preceding year; the third quarter even saw average rents recover by 1.6%. With the economy livening up again, 2004 is seeing the
start of a new upturn. Yet with supply so strong, vacant space will fill up but most cities will not support
major rent increases in prime locations during 2004. These are not expected until vacancy rates are significantly lower. The conditions will then indeed be right for rents to rise again, at least for commercial
units combining high quality with good location and up-to-date amenities.
Central and Eastern Europe rental market
The real estate market cycles of Central and Eastern Europe are so far largely independent of those
Rents and demand on
of Western Europe. While the West boomed in the late 1990s, cities such as Budapest, Prague and
the increase
Warsaw saw rents take a dive and vacancy rates on the increase – the effect of a construction boom in
the preceding years. This was compounded by subdued macroeconomic growth towards the end of the
period. Today, with the exception of Warsaw, the office market crisis has been overcome. Accession
to the European Union is stimulating economic activity and demand for real estate. As was the case in
Western and Southern European countries after joining the EU, rents and demand are likely to rise in
the coming years.
Vacancy rates moved contrary to Western Europe. They had been extremely high in earlier years, attaining between 12.5% and 21%. But vacancies in Budapest, Prague and Warsaw began to fall during
2003 – clear evidence of gaining demand.

Investment markets
Healthy demand for
Demand on the European market for property investments stayed lively in 2003. According to Jones
property investments
Lang LaSalle, €80.6 billion was invested – 8% down on the 2002 record. Selling prices for commercial
property kept relatively stable as a result. Prime rental yields in key Western European real estate markets averaged 6.0% (2002: 6.1%) at the end of 2003. End-2003 prime yields in Central Europe stood at
8.8% (2002: 9.2%).
Investment activity was buoyed by very low interest rates, with equity yields keeping their edge on
other low-risk investments. Businesses financing activities with debt capital could take advantage of
the good terms. Mortgage rates often undercut rental yields, affording buyers positive cash flows from
the outset.
The most important investor groups Europe-wide were German open-end real estate funds – with cash
inflows still a high €13.7 billion in 2003 – together with private investors and institutional investors such
as pension funds. Investors from the USA also showed renewed interest in European property.

Western Europe investment market
Average yields held steady in 2003 on almost all key markets outside Germany; prime yields fell in
London – still Europe‘s
London and Paris (both from 6.25% to 6.0%) and various other cities. The preferred investment target
leading investment target
was the UK, with a 50% market share according to Jones Lang LaSalle. Second place was taken by
Scandinavia with 12%, primarily because of the number of foreign investors active in Sweden. France
came third, with marked emphasis on Paris. The city was the investment location favoured by German
open-end funds.
There was a marked decline in buying interest in German property. According to a survey by Jones Lang
LaSalle, the transaction volume in the five key locations of Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and
Munich fell by 37% in 2003 to about €5 billion.
2004 will probably see many institutional investors increasing the real estate share in their portfolio. The
general economic recovery heightens the attractiveness of property as a low-risk, high-yield asset class
with potential for value growth.
Central and Eastern Europe investment market
Central and Eastern Europe is becoming increasingly well established as an investment location. With
Good investment
EU accession in the background, contributing factors include increasing political and economic stability
opportunities in Central
and good growth prospects. 2003 was the fourth consecutive year of investment growth. For now,
and Eastern Europe
though, the markets remain far smaller, less predictable and more liable to fluctuate than those of
established Western European major cities. Investors are consequently only prepared to buy in at significantly higher yields. The latest weighted average yield figure for prime location office properties in Budapest, Prague and Warsaw was 9.0%, compared with 6.0% in Western Europe. Prices are noticeably
rising in Central and Eastern Europe, however, and yields are correspondingly reduced. Rising prices
and falling yields reflect international investors’ growing confidence in the maturing markets of Central
Eastern Europe.

Brussels – Europe‘s rising market
»
Suite à l’élargissement de l’Union européenne, le marché du bureau connaît aujourd’hui
une grande expansion à Bruxelles. La demande se concentre sur le quartier Léopold où
siègent les principales institutions de l’UE, ainsi que sur le Centre, situé immédiatement
à l’ouest de celui-ci. Dans ces deux quartiers toutefois, les réserves en espaces et en
surfaces sont pratiquement épuisées. Bruxelles est un site de plus en plus prisé par les
«
investisseurs. Les loyers les plus élevés, dont le niveau était jusqu’à présent relativement
bas, se rapprochent aujourd’hui de ceux d’autres grandes villes européennes.
»Expansion of the European Union is giving the Brussels office market a strong push. Demand is concentrated in
Quartier Léopold, which is home to the main EU institutions, and in the city centre immediately to the west. Reserves are virtually exhausted in both parts of the city, both in terms of space within existing buildings and land for
development. Brussels is increasingly sought-after as an investment location. Top rents, relatively low in the past,
are approaching the levels of other major cities in Europe.«

In spite of the recent problems on the London rental market, prime London
locations still bring in the highest rents in Europe. The most sought-after properties are in the West End, followed by the City. Tenants and investors are
now turning to other markets as well: for example Soho, which is a trendy
location for media and communications firms, and Hammersmith, handily
«
situated between the city centre and Heathrow. London retains its status as
the highest-liquidity and most professionally operating European market.

Als einzige Stadt in Deutschland konnte Berlin den Umsatz auf
dem Investmentmarkt im Jahr 2003 halten. Auffällig ist der hohe
Anteil an großen Transaktionen: Geschäfte mit einem Volumen
von über 50 Mio. € machten fast die Hälfte des Gesamtumsatzes
aus. Berlin bleibt aufgrund seiner Hauptstadtfunktion ein
interessanter Markt für zukünftige Projektentwicklungen.
(Frank Strothe)

»Berlin was the only German city to keep up investment market turnover in 2003. One thing that stands
out is the large share of high-value transactions: deals worth over €50 million made up almost half of total
turnover. Because of its role as a capital city, Berlin remains an attractive market for future project developments.«

Im Jahr 2003 stieg der Büroleerstand in Düsseldorf an; Umsätze und
Spitzenmieten gingen zurück. Doch gibt es nach wie vor Bereiche mit
einem lebhaften Marktgeschehen. Dazu zählen moderne und zugleich
preisgünstige Bürohäuser in gut erschlossenen Stadtlagen, nahe dem
Flughafen und der Grafenberger Allee, für die sich Mieter mit Kosten- und
«
Qualitätsbewusstsein entschieden. Erfreulich ist, dass die Leerstandsrate
zum Jahresende 2003 nicht mehr anstieg.
»Düsseldorf saw an increase in the vacancy rate as regards office units in 2003; turnover and top rents were down.
There are still some lively sectors of the market, such as modern but attractively priced office buildings in accessible

Munich – new perspectives
»
München hat nach wie vor einen geringeren Leerstand als andere
deutsche Büro-Metropolen. Bevorzugte Standorte sind vor allem nördliche,
östliche und südliche Stadtbereiche und Vororte mit ihrer Nähe zum
Flughafen, zur Messe und zu wichtigen Hightech-Unternehmen. Letztere
«
sind auch heute die wichtigste Mietergruppe. Ihr Flächenbedarf dürfte bei
anziehender Konjunktur wieder deutlich wachsen.
»Munich still has a lower vacancy rate than other major German office markets. The preferred locations are northerly,
easterly and southern urban and suburban districts close to the airport, the exhibition centre and the operating locations
of major high-tech firms. The latter are also the most important group of tenants at the moment. They should be needing significantly more space as the economy picks up.«

Der Miet- und Investmentmarkt wird sich Ende 2004 stabilisieren.
Deutlich festzustellen ist jedoch ein gestiegenes Kostenbewusstsein der
Nachfrager. In der Innenstadt war der Mietrückgang der letzten Jahre noch
gravierender als an dezentralen Locationen wie Niederrad, Rödelheim und
«
Heddernheim. Als dynamischer Immobilienstandort erwies sich erneut der
Frankfurter Flughafen, insbesondere die Cargo City Süd.
»The rental and investment market will stabilize by the end of 2004, though potential tenants are
visibly more cost-conscious. The decline in rents over the last few years was even sharper in the
city centre than in out-of-town locations like Niederrad, Rödelheim and Heddernheim. Frankfurt
Airport again proved a dynamic real estate location, especially Cargo City South.«

Milano è la capitale economica d’Italia ed è il più importante mercato immobiliare per quanto riguarda gli uffici. Sono richiesti soprattutto locali moderni di alto
livello qualitativo che però sono piuttosto rari in città. Per questo motivo spesso

emergence of REIT vehicles in France and other European countries adding vigour to those markets.
After two weak years, the stock market performance of IVG shares fails to satisfy despite the positive

asset value, with reflects the inherent value of its shares, was €14.41 per share before deferred taxes

example with the introduction of real estate investment trusts (REITs). These are not taxed as a corporate entity in their own right, allowing them to distribute their operating profits almost in full. Only
shareholders pay tax on the high dividends after these have been paid out. German listed real estate

EPRA
The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) is the European industry association of publicly
quoted real estate companies. Its members also include financial analysts, investors, banks, and auditing firms. To ensure the highest possible level of transparency for investors, IVG acts upon EPRA’s Best
Practices Recommendations for accounting and reporting. For details of the Best Practices Recommendations, please see www.epra.com.
IVG supports EPRA’s efforts to promote European harmonization of reporting standards in the publicly
quoted real estate sector. Most of the required information at IVG is already an integral part of the annual financial statements. Additional information required by EPRA is brought together on the pages
that follow, primarily relating to these topics:
a) Net asset value
b) EPRA income presentation
c) Financial risk management/other disclosures
d) Like-for-like rental growth
a) Net asset value (NAV)
IVG net asset value
Net asset value (NAV) is the company’s total assets at market prices minus total liabilities. It is a measure of net worth. NAV per share was up 1.8% at the end of 2003, to €14.41 per share. The increase
results from IVG’s acquisition of POLAR Real Estate Corporation on attractive terms and the renewed
strength of the European property markets.
The annual revaluation of the IVG property portfolio against the backdrop of a difficult market showed
a rise in market value of 1.5% or €37.5 million compared with the previous year. This figure demonstrates the benefits of IVG’s European strategy. A decrease in the market value of German property
due to the ongoing harsh macroeconomic and property market climate was countered by a gain across
the remainder of the European portfolio. London showed the strongest increase on revaluation at 2.5%,
followed by Milan with 2.2% and Stockholm with 2.0%.
Basis of computation
Save as otherwise stated below, all NAV figures draw on data from the consolidated financial statements. Portfolio properties are accounted for at market values estimated in the great majority of cases
by neutral appraisers instead of at the book values stated in the financial statements.

65 a) Net Asset Value
72 Employees
In compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IVG has all properties appraised
at fair value. Neutral appraisers value the great majority of the portfolio by the discounted cash flow
(DCF) method. The valuations generally comply with IFRS, including in particular IAS 40, which covers
accounting for investment properties. The valuations are performed on the basis of the International
Valuation Standards (IVS) and the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Manual (Red Book) published by the
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Fair valuation by the DCF method
The DCF method is a net present value calculation that entails discounting a property’s future net operating income to a valuation date. The net operating income figures are the balance of receipts and
payments for each year of a ten-year detailed budget period. Receipts are mostly net rental income.
Payments comprise running costs met by the owner and not passed on to tenants. The net operating
incomes are discounted to the valuation date at a free market discount rate estimated for each property,
giving a net present value for each period’s net operating income.
A residual value is then estimated for the property as at the end of the ten-year detailed budget period.
This reflects the price most likely to be recovered at the end of the period. It is obtained by capitalizing
the net operating income for the eleventh year as a perpetuity at what is referred to as the capitalization rate. The net present value of this figure as at date of valuation is then found by applying the same
discount rate as is used for net operating income. The sum of discounted net operating income and
discounted residual value is the fair value of the property under appraisal.
Development projects
Development projects are recognized at their discounted contribution margin plus their carrying
amounts under financial assets and current assets. The discount rate used is 15%.
Financial assets, current assets and other assets
Financial assets and current assets are shown net of amounts already included in the market value of
real estate assets.
Deferred taxes on hidden reserves
The EPRA going-concern value incorporates deferred taxes discounted over 25 years at an 8% discount
rate. The tax loss carried forward in Finland with around € 240 million wasn’t considered. It is assumed
that book gains on sales of German properties can be transferred to newly acquired properties under
Sec. 6b of the German Income Tax Act.
Liabilities
Liabilities for non-consolidated properties are included in addition to Group liabilities.

EPRA net income after revaluation increased from €23.5 million in 2002 to €113.2 million in 2003, primarily due to lower unrealized losses on revaluation of property investments: net revaluation losses were
€5.5 million including the POLAR »lucky buy«. Net revaluation losses in 2002 had been €134.0 million.
EPRA net income differs from HGB (German Commercial Code) net income in that rather than depreciating buildings over estimated useful lives, the property portfolio is revalued on a yearly basis, where possible by outside appraisers, and reported with any deferred taxes arising on revaluation. Based on EPRA
net income per share after revaluation, IVG has an attractive price/earnings (p/e) ratio of nine.
c) Financial risk management and other disclosures
Derivatives
We make systematic use of derivative financial instruments to reduce risk due to exchange rate and
interest rate changes in the course of IVG’s Europe-wide activities. For this purpose, the Group Treasury
exclusively uses marketable instruments with adequate market liquidity. To ensure the lowest possible
risk of counterparty default, contracts involving derivative financial instruments are entered into solely
with major European banks of immaculate credit standing. The use of derivative instruments is subject
to uniform internal guidelines and strict controls. Regular valuations are performed and there is monthly
reporting. In accordance with internal Group directives, derivative financial instruments are used exclusively to hedge risks in connection with specific underlying transactions. Together with the corresponding hedged item they essentially form a valuation unit.
Currencies
Foreign currency exposures from investment in non-euro countries are broadly neutralized by refinancing in the same currency. Currency risks are thus countered at Group level by systematic currency
management.
Interest rate exposures, loan maturities and average cost of debt
Interest rate exposures and loan maturities are geared to the investment portfolio, reflecting the typical
duration of most investments in real estate. Portfolio management under our buy-and-sell strategy and
the resulting short-term, intra-year cash flows mean that a relatively small sum relative to the total is
deliberately financed on a variable short-term basis. At existing repayment terms, the earnings effect
of a 1% change in interest rates would be approximately €1.7 million. The weighted average cost of
debt is less than 5%.
d) Like-for-like rental growth
On a like-for-like basis adjusted for investments and divestments, rents stayed roughly level at
€169.5 million compared with €169.9 million the previous year.

Corporate governance refers to the entire system by which a company is managed and monitored, its
corporate principles and guidelines, and the system of internal and external controls and supervision to
which the company’s operations are subjected. Good, transparent corporate governance ensures that
our company will be managed and monitored in a responsible manner geared to value creation. This
fosters the confidence of investors, employees, business associates and the general public in IVG’s
management and supervision.
Declaration of compliance with the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code in
the version dated 21 May 2003 by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of IVG Immobilien
AG pursuant to Sec. 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG)
IVG welcomes the principles drawn up by the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code (the ‘Cromme Commission’). Most of these principles have already formed an integral
part of our value-oriented corporate policies for some years. In September 2002, IVG also became a
founder member of a corporate governance organization for the German real estate industry, ‘Initiative
Corporate Governance der deutschen Immobilienwirtschaft e.V.’. Under the chairmanship of IVG Immobilien AG’s Chief Executive Officer Dr. Eckart John von Freyend, this organization drew up corporate
governance principles specifically for real estate companies which go beyond those recommended in
the Cromme Commission’s Code and which add real estate-specific requirements to that Code. IVG
follows the recommendations and suggestions from the Corporate Governance Code of the German
Real Estate Industry. This Code can be downloaded from http://www.immo-initiative.de.
IVG undertook numerous measures geared towards compliance with the German Corporate Governance Code during 2002 and pursued these measures in 2003 as a result of the modifications to the
Cromme Commission’s Code. These measures included reworking the Terms of Reference for the
Board of Management and the Supervisory Board. IVG complies with the recommendations of the
Code with the following specific exceptions:
4.2.4 Compensation of the members of the Board of Management shall be reported in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, subdivided according to fixed, performance-related and long-term
incentive components. The figures should be individualized.

IVG certainly intends to report the compensation paid to members of the Board of Management in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, subdivided according to fixed, performance-related
and long-term incentive components. However, the figures are not yet individualized. We shall await
further developments in the publication of top executives’ pay on an individual basis.
5.4.5 (...) Compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board shall be reported in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements on an individualized basis and broken down into modules. (...)
Article 16 of the Memorandum and Articles of Association subdivides the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board into fixed and performance-related components. However, the figures reported in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are not yet individualized. We shall await
further developments in the publication of compensation of Supervisory Boards on an individual basis.
5.3.2 The Supervisory Board shall set up an Audit Committee which, in particular, handles issues of accounting and risk management, the necessary independence required of the auditor, the issuing of the
audit mandate to the auditor, the determination of auditing focal points and the fee agreement.
It does not make sense to establish a separate Audit Committee since IVG’s Supervisory Board has
six members, meaning that all of the issues involved can be discussed and decided upon by the full
Supervisory Board with maximum efficiency.
7.1.1 (...) The Consolidated Financial Statements and interim reports shall be prepared under observance of internationally recognized accounting principles. (...)
IVG currently conducts its financial reporting according to German accounting laws and regulations,
and intends by 2005 at the latest, in accordance with statutory transitional rules, to switch to reporting in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS). To ensure maximum transparency for
investors, IVG already complies on a voluntary basis with the European Public Real Estate Association
(EPRA) Best Practices Recommendations on accounting, valuation and disclosure. In September 2002,
the company received the EPRA award for the best annual report by a listed public European real estate company. EPRA’s membership takes in Europe’s leading public real estate companies, financial
analysts, investors, banks and auditors.

The number of employees as at 31 December 2003 was 717, a decrease of 4.4% on the previous year.
This is due to non-core operations (126 employees in 2002) being partially excluded from the consolidated financial statements.
The acquisitions of the Wert-Konzept companies and POLAR added to the workforce in the strategic

Employee development and training
IVG is firmly committed to advancing the professional expertise and training of its workforce. A ma-
Management trainee
nagement trainee programme was launched in 2003. The objective is timely identification and recruit-
programme launched
ment of ambitious management talent with an aptitude for the real estate business. Four graduates
with real estate training and appropriate placement experience joined a variety of business units for a
one-year programme in which they were soon taking on responsibility for projects and other tasks. A
new group of management trainees are to be taken on in 2004.
74.75
Trainees_Stephan Stollenwerk_Philipp Diederichs_Christian Beck_Jan Hendrik Goldbeck (left to right)
Targeted placements
The placements programme serves even earlier identification of management talent. Students are
given a chance to combine their theoretical knowledge with initial practical experience in a structured
series of placements. This can culminate in company support with a practice-based undergraduate
dissertation. IVG remains committed to the »agenda4« initiative, which initiates and promotes propertyrelated courses of further study.
Building specialist
IVG employees have access to personal development and further training. We support attendance of
skills
targeted further training courses at the European Business School Real Estate Academy in OestrichWinkel and, in a pilot scheme, a part-time real estate studies course at Mannheim University of Cooperative Education. Other programmes help improve language skills and acquire finance qualifications
such as Certified Credit Analyst, Chartered Financial Analyst, etc.
In March 2004, IVG and the EBS Real Estate Academy launched the IVG Graduate School – a personal
training programme for managers and specialists from Germany and other European countries. Over
a set of ten modules, employees are taught about new academic findings relevant to real estate and
introduced to practice-oriented application examples by experienced real estate experts.
Employee share
Employees with a vested share in Group success identify more closely with the firm and have a perfor-
ownership
mance incentive. Employees can purchase IVG Immobilien AG shares on preferential terms under the
IVG VALUE programme. The company grants an interest-free loan to cover 90% of the total purchase
price. Participating employees have full shareholder status for the two-year programme term, with full
dividend entitlement and all the opportunities and risks of movements in the share price.

IVG Group employees were again given the opportunity in 2003 to invest part of their net earnings in
Employee equity: A
the form of a loan under the German Employee Savings Act (Vermögensbildungsgesetz). A portion of
high-yield investment
personnel expenses thus remains in the firm as employee equity.
IVG tops up the employee loans with a tax-free supplement, repayable along with the employee-contributed portion with 4.5% interest on expiry of the six-year term. Including the tax-free supplement, employees stand to receive attractive overall returns. Depending on their personal income situation, certain
employees can additionally claim a government savings bonus. More than 50% of IVG employees took
part in the loan scheme in 2003, with employee equity totalling €1.76 million at the end of the year.
The need for additional individual pensions again featured large in public debate during 2003. IVG has
Attractive pension
implemented the statutory provisions in force since 2001 and has developed an attractive private pensi-
plans
on package for employees. Since 2002, IVG employees have been able to take advantage of a deferred
compensation option under which the equivalent of up to 4% of the state pension insurance contribution assessment ceiling (€2,448.00 in 2003) is paid into a pension plan. The deferred compensation is
tax-free for employees and neither they nor the employer need pay social insurance levies on it to 2008
inclusive. Many employees have taken up this pension option. A smaller number have signed up for
state-supplemented »Riester« pension arrangements, for which IVG has also made provision by setting
up an attractive group policy with a German life assurance company.
IVG Immobilien AG signed a collective agreement covering semiretirement in 2001. This extends the
Semiretirement
company’s employee development and human resources planning options. It allows older employees
the possibility of an early transition from working life into retirement. IVG has opted for a »block« arrangement, where semiretirement is divided into a full-time working phase and a non-working phase.
A total of 40 semiretirement agreements had been signed by December 2003. At the end of 2003 there
were already 10 employees in the non-working phase plus 27 in and 3 about to enter the working phase
of semiretirement.
IVG has put in place a share options scheme giving management a share in the company’s performance. Further information on the share options scheme is given on page 62 and in the Notes.

The European economy was again generally weak in 2003. Most European countries saw only slight
economic growth. The main cause besides structural problems was flimsy domestic demand. Households, businesses and governments struggling with budget deficits held back on spending.
Europe’s countries and regions paint a varied picture. Countries in Central Eastern Europe show relatively fast growth. These were through the worst of the recession and are now attractive investment
locations with EU membership close at hand. The region is set to keep up Europe’s top growth rates
in the coming years. Among card-carrying EU members, the UK and Spain turned the corner and saw
their growth rates pick up.
Inflation in EU member states ranged from 1.2% to 2.9%. Combined with the sharp fall in interest rates
across all EU countries during 2003, this raises businesses’ propensity to invest.

Real estate markets
Most European office markets were split in 2003: Rents in many places fell and vacancy rates increased.
Their investment markets, in contrast, remained stable as institutional investors had money to spend.
Total demand for office space in the 19 main cities increased, but many firms took advantage of the
market and moved head office to smaller units at reduced rents. The 19 main cities had seen a total of
6.65 million m² of office space re-let in 2002; the 2003 figure was 7.06 million. The weighted average
relative growth rate across 16 key Western European office markets was 5%. The three major cities of
Central Eastern Europe saw growth of 14%, though from a far lower starting point. Far from presenting
a consistent pattern across Europe, growth in space turnover varied strongly from city to city: While
demand in London, Milan, Berlin and Barcelona dropped by between 10% and 23%, Brussels saw
demand grow 69%, Prague 47%, and Madrid 20% after a weak preceding year.
City centre oversupply caused a drop in top rents on most office markets – by a weighted average of
9% in 16 key West-European cities, compared with 11% in Central Eastern Europe. There were positive exceptions in both West and East: In the West, Brussels in particular saw monthly rents driven
up 10% by strong demand in the EU quarter, Quartier Léopold, reaching an absolute high of €22.90
per m². In the East, Budapest stood out with an increase of 5.5%. Top monthly rents there at the end
of 2003 were €19.00/m².
77 The economy
79 Segments
87 Consolidated Financial Statements
Average vacancy rates in the 19 main European property markets swelled from 8.2% to 10.0%. The
reasons were again large quantities of new buildings coming onto the market and many companies
cutting back on space
Vacancy rates rose at all key Western European locations, with the strongest increase in Lisbon,
Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Amsterdam. The latter’s 18% vacancy rate was higher than any other major
European city. In contrast, vacancy rates in Central Eastern Europe had already begun to shrink, falling
in Budapest, Prague and Warsaw to 20.5%, 13.6% and 14.7% respectively.
Business performance
Group net income, at 66.5 million, was just short of the previous year’s high despite the tough economic climate. The dip in turnover from €471.2 million to €411.5 million mostly reflects the 2002 sale
of Gresham Street – IVG’s biggest ever development project – which made for extra-high sales and
earnings figures that year. Factoring out Gresham Street, turnover increased in 2003. Due partly to the
POLAR takeover, net rents rose from €226.1 million to €232.8 million. Letting activity was on the up:
IVG trumped a hard market with a total of 185,000 m2 of new lettings in portfolio properties and project
developments during 2003.
IVG forged ahead with its successful buy-and-sell strategy and realized €64.8 million in book gains from
property sales in 2003.
Including acquired liabilities, IVG invested €565.2 million over the 2003 financial year. Most of this
came from the takeover of the POLAR group and ongoing development of IVG’s business parks. IVG’s
pan-European activities are partly financed in foreign currency. This resulted in a gain of €22.2 million
before taxes.
The earnings figures allow the Board of Management and Supervisory Board to propose a dividend at
the previous year’s high level of €0.34 per share.
The highlight of the year was the takeover of Helsinki-listed POLAR Real Estate Corporation. This
secured IVG’s entry into one of Europe’s upcoming real estate markets. IVG has since upped its stake
segment
to 95% of all shares in POLAR.
80.81
IVG again successfully played off cyclical differences between property markets across Europe, reaping
attractive gains on disposals under its active buy-and-sell strategy:
An office building on Great Marlborough Street, London
Properties on Rue de Trèves and Rue du Luxembourg, Brussels
Two office buildings in the Eighth Arrondissement of Paris, on Avenue Hoche and Rue de Bassano
Two logistics buildings and an office building in Madrid
The IVG headquarters in Bonn, under sale and leaseback with the EuroSelect 07 investment fund
The Airbizz office and logistics building at Frankfurt Airport
Two shopping centres in Helsinki.
Segment turnover gained from €283.7 million in 2002 to €294.3 million in 2003. This includes net
rent revenues, which jumped from €223.1 million to €230.2 million, primarily due to the takeover of
POLAR Real Estate Corporation. Due to higher profits from property sales, segment earnings rallied
from €169.7 million to €196.2 million. Tenancies were signed for 134,000 m2 of lettable space, despite
patchy demand in many European property markets. The effective occupancy rate at the end of the
year was 91.5%.
Project development
The project development year was dominated by the successful joint venture with AXA, refurbishment
segment
of the Madou Tower in Brussels, and settlement of accounts for the Glockengiesserwall project in Hamburg. Joint projects with AXA in Paris made especially good progress. Besides major lettings to prestigious international firms, the joint venture sold the Périsud project (with 33,500 m2 of lettable space)
to the property funds arm of Commerzbank. In Brussels, IVG pressed on with the complete overhaul of
Madou tower, the city’s tallest building.
After the successful sale of the Leipziger Platz and Dorotheenstrasse projects, IVG has begun a new
development in Berlin’s Mitte district. In a joint venture, IVG subsidiary Tercon is developing over
60,000 m2 of office space for tenants Deutsche Bahn. The project is worth some €160 million. The
office complex was sold to the Deutsche Bank Group before construction began. It is expected that
the Am Salzufer development in Berlin’s Charlottenburg will be successfully marketed once the current
weak market has been overcome.
IVG project development activities in 2003 generated turnover of €87.0 million (2002: €160.6 million)
and operating earnings of €5.3 million (2002: €49.1 million). Turnover and earnings were down because
the 2002 figures had included the sale of Gresham Street. Accounts were not settled on any major
projects in 2003. Development projects do not feature in the turnover and earnings until completed,
sold and handed over to the investor. Factoring out Gresham Street, turnover and earnings increased
compared with 2002. Development project lettings in the 2003 financial year totalled 51,000 m2.
77 The economy
79 Segments
81 Financing
After increasing its stake in the Wert-Konzept group to 100%, IVG combined the project development
activities of Tercon and Wert-Konzept under the Tercon name. As a result, the 2003 financial statements
include Wert-Konzept as a consolidated subsidiary for the first time.
In the second quarter of 2003, the public authorities abandoned the project of privatizing Berlin’s airports. The consortium led by IVG and Hochtief came to an acceptable final arrangement with the authorities, the terms of which are confidential. IVG regrets that the opportunity of an economically viable
solution for the privatization was not taken after eight years of intensive work.
To minimize interest rate risk, IVG has entered into interest rate swaps with a nominal value of €20 million and a 10-year term on the basis of existing loan agreements. IVG has thus secured the current low
level of interest rates for the long term and further reduced its risk exposure to interest rate changes.
The average interest rate on borrowed capital was 4.9% at the end of the year.
A loan was taken out, initially for nine months, to finance the POLAR takeover. This acquisition loan will
be rolled over into a long-term financing arrangement in the course of 2004.
€71 million has been borrowed on a long-term basis to 2012 in connection with a forfaiting transaction
in receivables from letting IVG-owned storage caverns. The tenants’ first-rate financial standing is carried over to the loan, a fact which is reflected in the credit terms.
IVG provides funding to Group companies through a central treasury function. This central funding network makes for optimum pooling of liquidity and so lowers the cost of capital throughout the Group. It
also guarantees the solvency of each of the companies involved and monitors interest, currency and
liquidity risks in the Group as a whole. Integrating the international subsidiaries into IVG’s electronic
cash pool further boosts efficiency.

Premises underlying
Preparation of consolidated financial statements and the requisite accounting valuations involve esti-
the consolidated
mates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. All estimates and as-
financial statements
sumptions are made to the best of our knowledge and belief so as to give a true and fair view of our net
assets, financial position and results of our operations. Such estimates and assumptions significantly
affect certain accounting policies, as detailed in the following.
Property, plant and equipment is reported at historical acquisition cost less depreciation. The market
value of the great majority of our properties is estimated annually by independent appraisers. Financial
assets are reported at the lesser of acquisition cost or fair value.
Under German commercial law, fixed assets may be written down to fair value to recognize impairment
losses of a temporary nature. We restrict use of this option to instances where the impairment is incapable of reversal for a reasonably long time (three years or longer).
Measuring write-downs for doubtful debts also entails estimates and assumptions for specific debts;
these estimates and assumptions are made to the best of our knowledge and belief.
Estimates are made in the measurement of provisions for risks arising from legal disputes and of anticipated losses due to project development and other risks contingent on future events. We carefully
weigh the opportunities and risks in each such case and recognize a provision for the risk where we
consider a loss to be likely.

Dependent parties
The Board of Management has issued a separate report on relations with affiliated companies, in ac-
report
cordance with Sec. 312 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). This report includes the following
statement: »In the circumstances known to us at the time legal transactions were undertaken, our
company was appropriately remunerated for such transactions in all instances. We did not take or omit
to take any measures at the behest of or in the interests of WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz AG, of
Frankfurt am Main, or SIRIUS Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, of Wackerow.«
Risk management
IVG’s risk management system is integral to all business processes, Group-wide directives and IT sys-
system
tems. Integration of risk analysis into the planning and control process and into reporting to the Board of
Management and Supervisory Board ensures continuous review of the risk situation. The operation of
our risk management is monitored by our internal auditing function and scrutinized during independent
auditing of the annual financial statements.
IVG counters market risk with comprehensive central and local research. It works together with internationally recognized research institutes to this end. Quarterly studies investigate the economic, industry
and market situation.
IVG faces a wide range of tax, competition and environmental rules and regulations in its market environment. By obtaining legal and technical advice and by monitoring the competition, IVG is fully informed about any potential risks and ensures a fast response capability to negative developments in its
environment. Other legal risks – particularly litigation risks – are managed by a central legal department
in cooperation with top-calibre law firms throughout Europe.
Operating risks can arise in our portfolio management, project development and investment funds
activities.
Risks specific to portfolio management include vacancy risk, tenant credit risk and risk of a decline in
market rents. IVG monitors these with early warning indicators, including rent forecasts, vacancy rates,
tenancy terms to renewal and get-out clauses, regional market developments and reports on buying
and selling activities. This information is reported to the Board of Management on a continuous basis
using various analytical methods. Legacy risks were once again reviewed in 2003. The appraisal was
unchanged.

85 Events after the close
Major risks in project development are cost and schedule overruns during construction, and worsening
of the market situation. IVG secures its capability of responding to potential such risks with a tightly run
monthly reporting and control system covering all key management indicators.
Risks in the investment funds business primarily result from placement commitments given by IVG and
– depending on how each fund is set up – obligations under repurchase guarantees. Ongoing monitoring of placement progress and the operating performance of investment properties makes certain that
adverse trends are spotted early and action is quickly taken.
IVG is exposed to the normal interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks in its operating business
and counters them, among other things with derivative financial instruments. The instruments used to
hedge financial risks are described in the Notes.
There are currently no apparent risks from past or future developments that could threaten the continued existence of IVG. All identified risks are adequately covered by balance-sheet provisions.
February 2004 saw a pivotal change in share ownership at IVG. The 49.9% stake held by Sirius – until
Events of special im-
then IVG’s largest shareholder – was taken over by Sal. Oppenheim Bank (25.1%), HSH Nordbank
portance after the close
(11.16%), DZ-Bank, WGZ-Bank and IKB Deutsche Industriebank.
On 3 March 2004, IVG Immobilien AG acquired through a subsidiary a further 18.8 million shares in
POLAR Kiinteistöt Oyj, Helsinki, increasing its total shareholding to 95.5%.

Outlook
The world economy will be carried along in 2004 by forecast growth of over 5% in the USA and some
7% in Asia. The Euro zone stands to benefit only to a very limited extent, with forecast growth at 1.8%
(Deutsche Bank, Outlook, 30 January 2004). This is not enough to create new jobs in any quantity. A
similar outlook is given by the forecast change in service sector employment, which is an indicator of
future demand for office space.
We expect interest rates will stay level in 2004.
Overall, most European property markets appear to have reached firmer ground in 2003, with top rents
falling less steeply and vacancy rates increasing far less sharply than the preceding year; the third
quarter of 2003 even saw average rents recover by 1.6%. With the economy livening up again, 2004
is seeing the start of a new upturn. Yet with supply in many places so strong, vacant space may fill up
but most cities will only support minor rent increases in prime locations during 2004. We anticipate
that the property markets in Brussels, London, Paris and Budapest will initially continue to rally. With
some delay, an economic recovery with a positive effect on the property market should then follow in
Germany at the end of 2004.
Qualitative upgrading of our portfolio, rigorous pursuit of our active buy-and-sell strategy, realization of
proceeds from project development and expansion of our investment funds business will, we expect,
make 2004 another positive year for our business.

Notes to the IVG
Notes to the IVG Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2003 financial year
I. General principles applied to the consolidated financial statements
As in previous financial years, the consolidated financial statements of the IVG Group are prepared in
accordance with the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB), Stock Corporations Act
(Aktiengesetz – AktG), and Principles of Orderly Accounting (Grundsätze ordnungsmässiger Buchführung
– GoB), collectively also known as »German GAAP«.
The financial statements of all companies included in the consolidated financial statements are prepared
using uniform accounting and valuation principles.
The financial statements and the lists of participating interests of IVG Immobilien AG and the IVG Group are
deposited at Bonn Local Court (Amtsgericht), registered as HRB no. 4148, and are published in the Federal
Bulletin (Bundesanzeiger). German partnerships coming under Sec. 264a of the Commercial Code in which
IVG Immobilien AG is a limited partner and which are included in the consolidated financial statements are
generally exempt under Sec. 264b Para. 4 from the preparation, auditing and publication requirements applicable to limited companies.
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, IVG Immobilien AG, together with all
Scope of
material subsidiaries. These are the companies that fall, directly or indirectly, under IVG’s uniform control. As
consolidation
a general rule, associated companies are accounted for by the equity method if IVG holds between a 20%
and 50% share and exerts a significant influence over them. Other participating interests are reported at the
lower of acquisition cost or fair value.
100 subsidiaries that are non-operating or conduct only a small volume of business are not consolidated either because they are not material to presentation of a true and fair view of the Group’s net assets, financial
position and the results of its operations, as provided by Sec. 296 (2) of the Commercial Code, or because
the shares in them are held solely for resale, as provided by Sec. 296 (1) 3.
In total, 103 domestic and 150 foreign-domiciled companies were consolidated in the 2003 financial year,
66 more than in the 2002 consolidated financial statements. Five associated companies are accounted for
by the equity method. One company accounted for by the equity method in 2002 is now fully consolidated
following the purchase of the remaining voting shares.

Comparability of the
In autumn 2003, IVG acquired over 85% of POLAR Kiinteistöt Oyj. POLAR, which is based in Hel-
2003 and 2002
sinki and listed on the Helsinki stock exchange, has a real estate portfolio consisting of approximately
consolidated financial
260,000 m2 of lettable space (60% offices, 40% shopping centres) plus development reserves with a
statements
gross floor area of 55,000 m2. A further 10% stake was purchased in early March 2004.
POLAR’s consolidated financial statements for 2003, prepared in accordance with Finnish law, report
turnover of €48.5 million (2002: €61.9 million) and net income of €37.5 million (2002: €28.9 million).
The asking price for the 85% stake was €116.6 million. 2003 earnings per share were €0.21.
The net asset position of IVG and the results of its operations are materially affected by consolidation
changes in the 2003 financial year, primarily due to the first-time inclusion of the POLAR group as from
1 November 2003, of the Wert-Konzept group and of XXTRA KG.
The changes are presented in the table below.

Write-downs on financial assets
Consolidation methods
Affiliated companies first consolidated up to 31 December 2000 were incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements by the book-value method, based on the difference between acquisition cost and
the Group’s interest in the equity of the subsidiaries when they were acquired or first consolidated.
Companies first consolidated on or after 1 January 2001 are incorporated into the consolidated financial
statements by the fair value purchase method as at the date of acquisition in accordance with GAS 4.
The same consolidation principles apply to shares in equity-accounted associated companies. No retrospective adjustment through reserves has been made in respect of comparative figures for earlier years.
Previously unrecognized gains and losses recognized on application of the fair purchase value method
are recorded in equity. Any positive consolidation difference is recognized as goodwill and amortized,
normally over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Any negative consolidation difference is recognized
separately in shareholders’ equity and released to income over the remaining estimated useful life of
the acquired non-monetary assets.

Notes to the IVG
For companies historically consolidated by the book-value method, the difference between acquisition
cost and the Group’s interest in the equity of the subsidiary is allocated to the subsidiary’s assets; any
unallocated amount is reported as goodwill and amortized, normally over an estimated useful life of 15
years. Negative consolidation differences are charged, according to type, to real estate, provisions, or
shareholders’ equity.
Intra-Group lending and all other receivables, liabilities, turnover, expenses and income arising within
the Group are eliminated.
Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between carrying amounts recognized in singleentity financial statements and amounts attributed for tax purposes are grouped with deferred taxes
arising on consolidation and reported under provisions for taxes. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax
rates ruling or expected to rule in the country concerned at the balance sheet date. In all other respects,
the tax regulations in force or enacted on the balance sheet date are deemed to apply.
Other transactions between consolidated Group companies are eliminated in IVG’s consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Sec. 304 of the Commercial Code. All intra-Group trading of goods
and services is conducted at arm’s length.
Non-euro balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the
balance sheet date; non-euro income statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average
rate for the financial year. That is, assets, provisions and liabilities are valued using the middle rate of
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All income and expense items are translated at the average
rate for the year. Shareholders’ equity items are translated at the rates of exchange that applied at the
time of their initial measurement. Differences between such values and the values found by applying
the exchange rate at the balance sheet date are credited or debited to revenue reserves, with no effect
on income.

Accounting and
Financial statements are prepared in accordance with the IVG Group’s accounting and valuation poli-
valuation policies
cies for each Group company included in the consolidated financial statements. Financial statements
prepared to other countries’ requirements are adapted where the requirements materially differ from
Group accounting and valuation policies.
The income statement is presented using the type-of-expenditure format.
Intangible assets are valued at acquisition cost less amortization. The maximum estimated useful life
of building and exploitation rights – reported under patents, trademarks, licences and similar rights – is
10 years. Salt rights have an unlimited useful life.
Property, plant and equipment is valued at the cost of acquisition or construction and, if depleting,
reported net of depreciation. Costs of producing self-constructed assets also include apportioned overheads.
Earlier write-downs allowed solely for tax purposes and temporary depreciation differences credited
to special tax-allowable reserves were reversed as from 1 January 2003 following partial repeal of
Sec. 308 of the German Commercial Code. The carrying amounts of the affected assets are now stated
in accordance with Commercial Code valuation rules. The resulting €56.7 million revaluation difference
was credited to reserves without going through the income statement. This matched a €51.9 million
increase in fixed assets, a €21.0 million increase in provisions for deferred taxes, and a €25.8 million
decrease in special tax-allowable reserves.
As a general rule, buildings throughout the Group are depreciated on a straight-line basis, assuming a
normal useful life of either 50 or 66.67 years.
Movable assets are normally depreciated over the shortest useful life permissible for tax purposes,
using either the straight-line method or else the declining-balance method subsequently switching to
straight-line; first-half-year additions are depreciated for a full year and second-half additions by half the
first-year depreciation allowance. Low-value assets are written off in the year of acquisition. They are
recorded as additions in the fixed assets movement schedule and normally recorded as disposals after
their assumed useful life of four years has elapsed.
Shares in affiliated companies and other participating interests are recorded on the balance sheet at the
lower of acquisition cost or fair value.
Shareholdings accounted for by the equity method are included in the consolidated financial statements
using the book-value method stipulated in Sec. 312 (1) 1 of the Commercial Code. As a general rule,
associated companies apply IVG’s accounting and valuation principles.

Notes to the IVG
Loans to employees – including interest-free and low-interest loans – are reported at nominal value.
Long-term loans to affiliated companies or to companies linked via participating interests are reported
less any impairment losses.
Inventories are valued at the lower of their cost of acquisition or construction required for tax purposes
or current market value. Raw materials and supplies are normally valued at average acquisition cost less
any write-downs. Finished goods, work in progress and work not yet billed are valued at cost of construction. In addition to unit material and production costs, cost of construction is normally also taken
to include apportioned material and production overheads and depreciation charges. The lower of cost
or net realizable value measurement principle is applied.
Specific allowances are recognized to account for identifiable risks in respect of receivables and other
assets. General bad-debt risk is adequately allowed for by means of a lump-sum write-down on receivables.
Own shares are reported at the lower of acquisition cost or fair value.
Provisions for pensions and similar obligations are reported at actuarial present value using a discount
rate of 6%, as stipulated by Sec. 6a of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz). The
provisions are calculated using Prof. K. Heubeck’s 1998 actuarial tables.
Semiretirement pension obligations are reported at actuarial present value (applying a 5.5% discount
rate) in analogy to Sec. 6a of the German Income Tax Act; employees not having signed a semiretirement pension agreement are included in accordance with the estimated probability of semiretirement
being taken. The payroll backlog is reported at nominal value.
Provisions for taxes comprise deferred taxes as provided by Sec. 274 and net deferred taxes from
single-entity financial statements as provided by Sec. 306 of the Commercial Code.
All tax liabilities or assets arising during the financial year are fully accounted for in the consolidated
financial statements, based on the tax regulations applying to individual Group companies.
Other provisions account for all identifiable risks and uncertain obligations to the full extent necessary,
in line with prudent business judgement.
Liabilities are reported at the amount due.
Turnover is reported once supplies of goods and/or services have been completed and risk has passed
to the customer. Turnover in project development is not reported on the income statement until contractual performance is complete or a distinct part of the work already performed for, or delivered to,
the customer can be billed.

II. Notes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Income Statement for
the 2003 financial year
Movements in individual fixed asset categories (disclosed in the Consolidated Fixed Asset Schedule)
are accounted for on the basis of historical cost of acquisition or construction.
1. Intangible assets
Acquisition and production costs reported for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are
and property, plant and
historical costs, in some cases originating from the deutschmark-denominated opening balance of
equipment
1948.
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and patents, trade marks, licences and similar rights.
Property, plant and equipment consists of real estate; technical equipment, plant and machinery; other
fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment; and advance payments made and construction in progress.
2. Financial assets
The decrease in shares in affiliated companies compared with the previous year is a result of previously
unconsolidated companies being reported as consolidated companies for the first time.
The changes in shares in associated companies are substantially due to reclassification of Wert-Konzept
Berlin Holding GmbH & Co. Beteiligungs KG, Berlin, as a fully consolidated company.
Shares in equity-accounted associated companies totalled €23.3 million at the balance sheet date and
included €9.3 million in amortized goodwill.
Other participating interests decreased due to repayment of the capital in BBPI Berlin Brandenburg
International Partner GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin.
The long-term loans to companies linked via participating interests chiefly relate to a loan granted to
TARDIS Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, Munich, in connection with the previous year’s saleand-leaseback transaction pertaining to MEDIA WORKS MUNICH.
Other long-term loans include a deposit lodged by IVG Logistik GmbH to finance property, plant and
equipment (€9.9 million), housing loans provided to employees, and a payment moratorium granted
to the purchaser in the sale of the Talis group (€6.2 million). In connection with the stake in FDV, loans
totalling €26.6 million were granted in 2003 to FDV Venture’s subsidiary. The sale-and-leaseback deal
with Tardis Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG gave rise to a debt of €10.7 million.

Group’s work in progress (€139.3 million) is in project development. The increase is due to the merging
of Tercon Bau GmbH (€73.7 million) and to first-time inclusion of XXTRA (€23.9 million) and IVG
Hungaria Kft. (€14.4 million). Finished goods (€8.0 million) primarily consist of land up for sale in Kleinmachnow.

8.3 Revenue reserves
€0.4 million was credited to other revenue reserves from IVG Immobilien AG’s net income for the year;
the reserve for own shares was reduced by €0.1 million to reflect the decrease in holdings of such
shares over the year to 31 December 2003.
The repeal of Sec. 308 (3) of the Commercial Code resulted in a €56.7 million increase in revenue reserves as from 1 January 2003 (see page 96/97). A further €19.5 million was transferred from consolidated net income to other revenue reserves.
8.4 Negative consolidation difference
First-time inclusion of companies acquired in the lucky buy of the POLAR group gave rise to a negative
consolidation difference of 36.4 million which is being released to income over the remaining estimated useful life of the acquired non-monetary assets. Amounts released to income for asset disposals
in 2003 added €4.4 million to other operating income.
8.5 Consolidated net income
IVG Immobilien AG’s consolidated net income available for distribution was €39.4 million in 2003. The
Board of Management and Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting on 27 May
2004 that a dividend of €0.34 (2001: €0.34) per no-par-value share be distributed out of this sum.
8.6 Minority interests
Minority interests in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries total €45.6 million and mostly consist of
stakes in POLAR Kiinteistöt Oyj, Helsinki, Stodiek Europa Immobilien AG, Bonn, and K.u.K. Zweite

The costs of retirement pensions and other welfare benefits include the pension entitlements of employees whose contracts are with IVG Immobilien AG arising from a special contributory agreement
with the state pension agency Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder (VBL). The contribution rate applicable in 2003 was 7.86% of the wages and salaries covered by this supplementary plan
(€16.57 million); 6.45% is payable by the employer and 1.41% by the compulsorily insured employees.
The employer must also pay an adjustment levy comprising 1.60% of wages and salaries covered by
the supplementary plan. According to VBL information, 645 former employees will be entitled to or are
already receiving supplementary pensions.

Corporate governance refers to the entire system by which a company is managed and monitored, its
corporate principles and guidelines, and the system of internal and external controls and supervision to
which the company’s operations are subjected. Good, transparent corporate governance ensures that
our company will be managed and monitored in a responsible manner geared towards value creation.
This fosters the confidence of investors, employees, business associates and the general public in
IVG’s management and supervision.
The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of IVG Immobilien AG jointly issued, in accordance with Sec. 161 of the German Stock Corporations Act, a new declaration of conformity with the
recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code. The declaration is published on the IVG
website, www.ivg.de, where shareholders can access it at any time.
Board of Management
The Board of Management of IVG Immobilien AG is responsible for the preparation, completeness and
declaration
integrity of the consolidated financial statements, the Group Management Report and other information
provided in the annual report.
The consolidated financial statements of the IVG Group were prepared in accordance with the German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB), Stock Corporations Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG), and
Principles of Orderly Accounting (Grundsätze ordnungsmässiger Buchführung – GoB), collectively also
known as »German GAAP«.
The Group Management Report contains an analysis of the Group’s net asset position, financial position and the results of its operations, and further disclosures required by the German Commercial Code
(Sec. 315).
An effective internal management and control system ensures the completeness and reliability of data
for consolidated financial statements and internal reporting. This includes Group-wide financial reporting directives, a risk management system as required by the German Control and Transparency Act
(Gesetz zur Kontrolle und Transparenz im Unternehmensbereich – KonTraG), an integrated approach to
financial control as part of value-oriented management, plus internal audits. The Board of Management
is thus able to identify material risks at an early stage and to take timely action as needed.
Acting by resolution of the IVG Immobilien AG Annual General Meeting of 27 May 2003, the Supervisory Board appointed PwC Deutsche Revision Aktiengesellschaft, Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft,
Düsseldorf, to audit the annual financial statements of IVG Immobilien AG for the 2003 financial year.
PwC have audited, confirmed and issued a clean auditors’ certificate in respect of the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Board of Management in accordance with German requirements.
The consolidated financial statements, Group Management Report, audit report and risk management
system were discussed in detail with the chief auditor by the full Supervisory Board at its meeting to
approve the financial statements.

The cash flow statement is based on information from the accounting records and from the balance
sheet and income statement derived from them in accordance with the German Commercial Code
(HGB). It is presented in vertical format and reports cash flows classified by operating, investing and
financing activities; comparative figures from the previous period are included. On the grounds of materiality, purchases of and proceeds from disposals of intangible assets are not reported separately from
purchases of and proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment.
Cash used for or provided by operating activities is quantified indirectly; that is, based on consolidated
net income for the year. The figures for cash used for or provided by investing and financing activities
are quantified by the direct method. All consolidated enterprises are included in the cash flow statement using the same consolidation method by which they are included in the consolidated financial
statements. For enterprises accounted for using the equity method, the cash flow statement includes
only (a) cash flows between such enterprises and the Group and (b) cash flows from the acquisition or
disposal of investments in such enterprises.
All cash flows are disclosed without netting. Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid funds (cash
in hand and short-term deposits at banks). €18.4 million of cash and cash equivalents is pledged as
security.
Effects of consolidation changes are eliminated; their effect on cash and cash equivalents is shown
separately.

* All net income available for distribution was distributed in 2002.
Reserve for own shares:
Issues of shares to Group employees under the IVG VALUE programme have reduced the number of own
shares held and with it the reserve for own shares.
Use of net income:
€0.5 million of IVG Immobilien AG net income was credited to other revenue reserves.
Currency translation differences:
Currency translation differences arise, among other things, on the translation of the shareholders’ equity
of foreign subsidiaries at historical exchange rates.
Other changes in revenue reserves:
These mostly represent adjustments following the repeal of Sec. 308(3) of the German Commercial Code
(HGB) plus consolidated net income from subsidiaries credited to revenue reserves to bring IVG Group net
income available for distribution into line with IVG AG net income available for distribution.

Report of the Auditors of the Consolidated Financial Statements
»We have audited the consolidated financial statements presented by IVG Immobilien AG, Bonn (comprising the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, notes to the consolidated financial
statements, consolidated cash flow statement, segment information and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity) and the group management report for the business year from 1 January to 31 December
2003. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management report in accordance with German commercial law are the responsibility of the company’s Board of Management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the group management report based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of the consolidated annual financial statements in accordance with Sec. 317 of
the German Commercial Code (HGB) and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial
statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets,
financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
German principles of proper accounting and in the group management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the
company and evaluations of possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit
procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual
financial statements of the companies included in consolidation, the determination of the companies to be
included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made
by the company’s Board of Management, as well as evaluating 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 has not led to any reservations.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial
position and results of operations of the group in accordance with German principles of proper accounting.
On the whole the group management report provides a suitable understanding of the group’s position and
suitably presents the risks of future development.«

Report of the Supervisory Board
Dear Reader,
On this and the following pages, the Supervisory Board reports on its activities in the 2003 financial year,
describing its constant communication with the Board of Management and the focal points of Supervisory
Board meetings including its scrutiny of the annual and consolidated financial statements.
The Supervisory Board performed its duties over the 2003 financial year as stipulated by law and by the
IVG Articles of Association. It monitored the Board of Management in managing the company and followed the running of the company’s affairs. The Supervisory Board was directly involved in all fundamental
decisions.
The Board of Management has provided the Supervisory Board with full, regular, timely, written reporting
on all matters relating to the company’s business, covering in particular corporate, personnel and financial
planning, the Group’s situation including appraisal of the risk position and risk management, and progress
on investment projects. The Board of Management explained all significant current transactions with reference to reports at Supervisory Board meetings.
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board was also kept informed of significant transactions by the Board of
Management outside of Supervisory Board meetings.
Supervisory Board and
In accordance with the Industrial Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) of 1952, the Supervi-
committee meetings
sory Board is composed of four shareholder representatives and two employee representatives. The
Supervisory Board’s Personnel Committee is empowered to take decisions affecting the contracts of the
members of the Board of Management of IVG Immobilien AG, and regarding all other personnel matters
referred to the Supervisory Board by statutory requirement. No other committees have been formed.
Six Supervisory Board meetings were held in the 2003 financial year, with one member unable to attend
at four meetings. An occasion for the Personnel Committee to meet did not arise.
Main topics
discussed by the
At each of its meetings, the Supervisory Board discussed the turnover, earnings and financial position
together with personnel changes within the Group and the various segments.
Supervisory Board
At its 13 November 2003 meeting, the Supervisory Board covered the amended German Corporate Governance Code and the guidelines of the German Real Estate Industry Corporate Governance Initiative. The
Supervisory Board and the Board of Management broadly agree with the recommendations and suggestions and have adapted the Terms of Reference of both the Supervisory Board and Board of Management
accordingly. The Declaration of Conformity with the Code is published on the IVG website, www.ivg.de.
The Supervisory Board plans to consider the Code’s recommendation regarding regular examination of the
efficiency of its activities during the course of 2004.
At its November meeting, the Supervisory Board dealt in detail with the medium-term plans for the years
2004 to 2006, the investment, finance and human resources plans derived from them, and the long-term
corporate strategy.
New additions and acquisitions in the portfolio were discussed at several meetings. The acquisition of approximately 85% of shares in POLAR Kiinteistöt Oyj (Helsinki, Finland) was successfully completed.
The Supervisory Board also approved developments in Munich, Berlin and Budapest. The Board of Management provided information at Supervisory Board meetings on the progress and abandonment of negotiations to privatize Berlin’s airports system and the building of the new Berlin-Brandenburg International
airport (BBI).
Opportunities to sell and realize value gains were taken in various regional markets. The Supervisory Board
approved the sale of properties or business interests in Barcelona, Brussels, Dornach, Frankfurt, Lisbon,
Madrid, Stockholm and Wroclaw.
The Supervisory Board held in-depth discussions at its meeting on 28 March 2003 regarding the company’s authorization to purchase its own shares. The proposed resolution was adopted with a large majority
at the 17th Annual General Meeting on 27 May 2003.
The Supervisory Board adopted further resolutions relating to the 2003 share options plan based on the
resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 23 May 2002 and on the appointment of executive officers
and holders of Prokura, or registered power of attorney under German commercial law.
The annual financial statements of IVG Immobilien AG and the consolidated financial statements for the
Annual financial
year ended 31 December 2003 as submitted by the Board of Management have been duly audited, to-
statements
gether with the Company Management Report and the Group Management Report for the 2003 financial
year, by PwC Deutsche Revision Aktiengesellschaft, Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, of Düsseldorf, who
have awarded a clean auditors’ certificate in each case. The chief auditor was present at our meeting to
discuss the company’s and the consolidated financial statements on 26 March 2004. He gave an extensive
account of the conduct and findings of the audit, and was available to provide additional information.
The Supervisory Board has scrutinized the two sets of financial statements, the Management Report and
the proposed appropriation of net income. It concurs with the findings of the audit and, following the conclusive findings of its own examination, it has no objections to any of these documents and reports.
The report on relations with affiliated companies prepared by the Board of Management for the year 2003
in compliance with Sec. 312 of the German Stock Corporations Act (AktG) was supplied to the Supervisory
Board along with the auditor’s appraisal of it. The Supervisory Board has itself examined the Board of
Management’s report, and has approved it together with the auditor’s findings. The auditor’s certificate for
the Board of Management’s dependent company report reads as follows:
126.127
»Having examined and appraised this report as by duty bound, we hereby confirm that the facts stated in
the report are correctand the Company did not render unduly high remuneration in any of the legal transactions documented in the report.«
In its conclusive findings from its own examination, the Supervisory Board has no objections to make to
the Board of Management’s declaration on relations with affiliated companies covering the financial year
2003.
At its meeting on 26 March 2004, the Supervisory Board issued its approval of the financial statements
prepared by the Board of Management, which are therefore deemed final. It also concurred with the Board
of Management’s proposed appropriation of net income, and finalized the motions to be put to the Annual
General Meeting.
Composition of the
On the shareholders’ side, Franz-Josef Seipelt resigned his seat on the Supervisory Board with effect from
Supervisory Board
31 January 2003. He was succeeded as shareholder representative by Dr Michael Albertz, appointed by
court order effective 1 February 2003. The Supervisory Board would like to express its gratitude to the
retiring member for his constructive and authoritative input.
The Supervisory Board wishes also to thank the Board of Management, the Group’s employees and their
employee representatives for their work in the 2003 financial year.
