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

Its successful letting and leasing operations generate substantial profits from a rapidly-growing real estate portfolio. This consists primarily of top-quality German commercial real estate, much of which is located in the large conurbations of Berlin, Munich and the Rhine-Main region. Our policy of active real estate portfolio management also enables us to augment profitability by achieving appreciation in the value of our portfolio through the sale of individual real estate assets. Against the background of this strategy we see our share as a highyield investment backed by genuine value and with excellent earnings prospects. The results for fiscal year 2001 bear out this view. We are proud to be able to report satisfactory results despite the recent unexpected turbulence on the global stage. We regard the steady expansion of our real estate and investment portfolio as the key reason for the corporation’s success. This portfolio increased during the year under review from 59 to the present total of 66 properties. At the end of 2001, our Busso von Alvensleben Berlin Marcus Hientzsch Busso von Alvensleben | 4| born April 7, 1951 in Nörten-Hardenberg, he commenced his banking training in 1973 at the Conrad Hinrich Donner Bank in Hamburg. After completing national service in the Federal German army, he worked outside Germany between 1975 and 1979. On his return he was employed in an executive capacity from 1979 to 1986 at the Hamburg branch of Jones Lang Wootton, the wellknown real estate consultants. Between 1986 and 1999 his subsequent career took him to Hammerson GmbH in Frankfurt am Main – a subsidiary of D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t holdings had a market value of around t621 million and the total volume under our management was approximately t978 million. Rental income from our holdings (before deduction of operating charges not billable to tenants) totaled approx. t69.4 million. The average residual term of the tenancy agreements was 7.4 years. The vacancy rate for the total lettable area of approx. 694,000 m2 of all the properties in our portfolio is currently running at only 7%. The present portfolio constitutes an excellent basis for further expansion consistent with our strategy. We are now in a position to generate more profits from selective property sales, the proceeds of which are then available for prudent reinvestment. In this way we aim to further increase average portfolio yield and, consequently, Deutsche Real Estate AG’s earning power. As already announced, the corporation’s head office was transferred to Berlin in August 2001 and are now operating from a top address on that city’s Gendarmenmarkt and have a base located within one of Germany’s leading real estate markets. We are also showing the flag in Germany’s capital city as one of the country’s first stock exchange-listed real estate stock corporations. Our new base will be the nerve center controlling our active involvement in development of the “new” Berlin. Marcus Hientzsch Berlin Hammerson plc, London, and CBC Immobilien-Entwicklungs GmbH in Berlin – a subsidiary of Générale des Eaux, Paris (now Vivendi Universal S.A., Paris), in both cases as General Manager, before his return to Hamburg to join Deutsche Real Estate AG where he has been a member of the Management Board since March 1999. born September 15, 1966 in Hamburg, after school and national service in the Federal German army, he completed a 2-year training apprenticeship at the Deutsche Bank AG in Frankfurt am Main before founding his own marketing and real estate consultancy firm in 1986. His main activities in recent years have been in the fields of project and portfolio management, real estate appraisal and organizational consultancy. His projects included work for a well-known firm of corporate consultants and 8 years’ commercial management of the CMF development project for the construction of a Maritim Hotel, a congress center and an office | 5| building in Frankfurt am Main. These were interspersed with parallel periods of study of informatics and business administration and studies at the ebs Academy of Real Estate to qualify as Immobilienökonom (ebs).

Elected to the Deutsche Real Estate AG Management Board in August 2001. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Letter to our Stockholders There were some changes in our Management Board towards the middle of 2001. Dr. Rainer Behne resigned as Chairman of the Deutsche Real Estate AG Management Board effective June 30, 2001 to take up duties on the Supervisory Board. Thomas Schwerdtfeger also left the Management Board on November 1, 2001. Marcus Hientzsch was elected to the Management Board effective August 22, 2001. We expect the planned merger of our main stockholder HBAG Real Estate AG with AGIV Real Estate AG, a corporation listed in the German MDAX index, to have a positive spin-off for our corporation over the medium term. It will help to make investors more aware of the advantages inherent in the real estate stock corporation as an investment form. Deutsche Real Estate AG, as the corporation responsible for expansion of the real estate portfolio within the HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group, will derive direct benefit from this image upgrade of real estate stock corporation share. We believe that the highly qualified human resources to whose services we have access both within the group and through our regional partners give us a distinct competitive advantage. These enable us to research and satisfy promptly the wishes of our customers, the tenants occupying our properties. Additional key factors that will help Deutsche Real Estate AG to maintain its momentum in 2002 and future years are its professional asset and portfolio management procedures supported by an efficient controlling system. This stronger image will benefit our growth plans which will in future make provision for the acquisition of real estate in the form of subscriptions in kind. Berlin, March 4, 2002 Busso von Alvensleben Marcus Hientzsch | 6| Saarbrücken, Hafenstrasse 16 D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t FORUM ACTIVE REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT IN GERMANY AS A WAY OF ACHIEVING ADDED VALUE DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG – What are the strengths of How does Deutsche Real Estate AG THE SHARE IN THE HBAG/AGIV Deutsche Real Estate AG? manage its real estate portfolio? Deutsche Real Estate AG is a real estate investment corporation with a clear profile and strategy. We invest exclusively in German real estate, concentrating on properties offering opportunities for high yields and value appreciation. We have focused our activities from the very start on the west German conurbations of Frankfurt am Main and Munich and also Berlin. At end 2001, Deutsche Real Estate AG’s portfolio included 66 properties, mainly office and retail. Active real estate management is a key element in Deutsche Real Estate AG’s strategy. This helps us achieve maximum profitability at every stage in the value added chain. Active management directly affects three critical phases in the typical real estate cycle – acquisition, maintenance and sale. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s steadily rising profit curve is the proof that we are on the right course with this strategy. REAL ESTATE GROUP – GENUINE SUBSTANCE, SECURE AND BACKED BY A CLEAR STRATEGY Active purchasing management – This focus of our activities is on the continuing expansion of our real estate portfolio and on its appreciation in value through consistent application of our active real estate management policy. In this way, Deutsche Real Estate AG is developing into a highly attractive corporation of genuine substance. | 8| Value appreciation potential from the start Active purchasing management relates in the first instance to the selective acquisition of individual properties offering either above-average value appreciation potential or high rental yield. There is however an increasing trend in the real estate market towards deals involving acquisition of packages or large lots of assorted properties, as insurance companies and large corporations anxious to concentrate on their core business divest themselves of – in some cases substantial – real estate assets. Other attractive deals of this kind can be cut with closed-end real estate funds. Real estate packages are D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t almost always available at more favorable terms than single properties and a wellorganized real estate stock corporation can achieve an above-average value appreciation by acquiring such packages and selling off individual properties which are approaching the end of their life cycle. Deutsche Real Estate AG has a clear strategy for making full use of existing and future market opportunities. Its access to outside capital and its function as a stock exchange-listed corporation are key factors in this respect. We can, for example, acquire large real estate portfolios by arranging capital stock increases against subscriptions in kind. In this way, traditional investors in real estate get the opportunity to transfer their assets into a form of investment that is far easier to realize at short notice without having to shift away from the real estate sector. This procedure also has the advantage of broadening our stockholder base. thereby generate more value appreciation potential than would be available through the acquisition of completed developments which are in most cases already let. The high preletting rates achieved by Deutsche Real Estate AG enable it to prepare extremely accurate cost and profit forecasts. For example, during the year under review we delayed the start of construction on two office buildings at Dornhofstrasse 36 and 38 in Neu-Isenburg until 50% of the available space had been prelet. Active portfolio management – Optimization of operations It is part of our routine responsibilities to identify for opportunities to create additional earnings potential by optimizing tenant mix and letting status in our real estate portfolio. This is only possible by providing active, tenant-oriented services that help to generate customer satisfaction and forge firm bonds between us and our tenants. This in turn reduces tenant fluctuation and, consequently, management costs. We also monitor our operating expenses continuously. This procedure helps us safeguard the value of our portfolio whilst at the same time keeping tenants’ service charges at optimal levels. Another facet of our operating policy is prudent use of available reserves of land to increase the value of the existing portfolio. This may involve conversion and other building work on existing sites. One of our properties in Frankfurt am Main is a good example of this. It has a large inner yard accessible from a side street. This yard had been used as parking space by the former owners. Our analysis revealed that it would be possible to construct around 4,000 m2 of additional commercial space on the site by adding an underground parking facility. Revitalization of properties already in our portfolio and, in some cases, construction of new buildings either for retention or sale depending on market conditions is another attractive option in yield terms. This enables us to become involved at an earlier stage in the value-added chain and Berlin, Krausenstrasse 8 D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t forum Active portfolio management also includes revitalization and modernization of our properties. An example of this is a 30yearold office building on the Oberanger in Munich. Using a revitalization plan drafted in collaboration with our local southern region partner, we gutted the building completely, then covered the outer surface of the reinforced concrete shell with cooled double cladding and installed high-quality interior space. This made it possible to let the whole building under new tenancy agreements signed at a peak of rental values. We also make full use of the latest information technology. SAP, together with the real estate specialists at Arthur Andersen Consulting, have developed a software system based on SAP-R3 but tailor-made to our specific requirements. Large parts of this software are already in use. Active sales management – What are the functions of your local Maximum return at the end of the partners? value-added chain Active sales management is another key factor of our corporate strategy for maximizing yields. It involves constant observation of developments in the real estate market and analysis of their implications for each individual property in our portfolio, in particular, to determine whether active portfolio management procedures would bring further increases in profitability. Where this is no longer the case, the property is deemed to have reached its zenith, i.e. maximum value appreciation, and is sold. This helps to ensure maximum return on invested capital. Examples of this policy during the year under review are our holdings in the projects at Oberanger in Munich and Dornhofstrasse 34 and 36 in Neu-Isenburg, which were successfully sold during the boom phase of their respective real estate markets on completion of renovation and modernization and subsequent letting. We plan to continue applying this strategy in 2002, seizing market opportunities for further real estate sales to free capital for new investments. | 10| Successful real estate deals are only possible if one has detailed knowledge of the local markets. A local eye can spot and assess opportunities, and market proximity facilitates early contact with current owners. Deutsche Real Estate AG has recognized this need and has, in collaboration with the HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group, built up a national network of highly qualified real estate service providers who concentrate exclusively on their regional environment. Long-term contracts with these local partners give Deutsche Real Estate AG the necessary access to the main German real estate markets and a capability to act promptly. (The names of the local partners in the five regions are listed on the inside of the front cover.) The local partners are responsible for identifying properties which promise good yields and for providing direct support during the acquisition process. They D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t also function as owners’ agents capable of reacting quickly to tenants’ wishes and problems and generating maximum customer satisfaction. They have their “ear to the market” and are an essential link in the chain from the acquisition of a property, its ongoing maintenance and appraisal until its ultimate sale. This innovative arrangement is a keystone of our group’s operating structure. Each local partner functions as an independent, highly motivated enterprise. He is a guarantor of optimal service both to the tenants and to us at Deutsche Real Estate AG. It also means that the group has a pool of experienced real estate specialists at its disposal for recruitment of new management resources as necessary. This ensures that our growth strategy will not suffer for lack of the necessary human resources. Berlin, Hackesche Höfe Can an individual property enhance the value of a location? In principle, yes. One example of this phenomenon is the development of our investment in the Hackesche Höfe in the Berlin suburb of Spandau. This property with its jugendstil, art déco and new functionality facades is the largest single courtyard development in Europe and presents a model mixture of residential, commercial and cultural use in old Berlin. After German reunification, a plan for revitalizing this property without destroying its small-unit structure was developed together with the then occupiers. Work on restoration of the architectural structure lasted from 1995 to 1997 and the Hackesche Höfe have now become the focal point of Spandau’s cultural life. New developments like the adjoining Neuer Hackescher Markt are also benefiting from its powers of attraction. The Hackesche Höfe are a model of modern urban development. The planners have created a location with a unique combination of mixed social, cultural and commercial use. It is not only a highly attractive location for tenants. Its magnetic effect extends farther to enhance the value of the real estate in its immediate environment. This means that rental income should rise as existing tenancy agreements expire. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Forum One key objective of our active real estate management policy is the reintegration of derelict sites into urban life and the development of modern worlds of living and working. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s membership of the agenda4 E community underlines the importance accorded to district management in our corporate philosophy. The agenda4 E community is a nonprofit-making association founded in 2001 with the aim of stimulating the interest of politicians, business and public institutions in all matters relating to urban and real estate development. What is the function of the corporation’s subsidiaries? Deutsche Real Estate AG acts essentially as a management holding corporation. It holds its real estate investments through subsidiary companies, most of which are wholly owned. (The chart on the inside back cover shows details of the Deutsche Real Estate AG group structure.) Each property is normally the sole asset of the relevant subsidiary. This structure was chosen partly for tax reasons and partly to enhance flexibility in real estate deals. The commercial property at FriedrichEbert-Damm 110-112 in Hamburg can be taken as a good example for explaining our corporation’s legal structure. The building in this case was acquired by DRESTATE (formerly DREAG) Objekt Hamburg, Friedrich-Ebert-Damm GmbH & Co. KG, a company formed solely for the purpose of managing and exploiting this one property. Deutsche Real Estate AG owns 100% of its capital stock and the company is consequently classified as an affiliate and included in Deutsche Real Estate AG’s consolidated financial statements. The subsidiary’s general partner is Verwaltungsgesellschaft DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG LEGAL STRUCTURE Example of our single asset subsidiaries DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG Stockholder (100%) Limited partner (100%) DRESTATE Objekt Hamburg, Friedrich-Ebert-Damm GmbH & Co.

(In settlement of a legal dispute the word DREAG in the subsidiary company names was changed to DRESTATE at the beginning of 2002.) What are Deutsche Real Estate AG’s corporate objectives? We are seeking to enlarge our high-yield portfolio by means of selective investments in German real estate, to achieve value appreciation of these assets with the help of our active real estate management policy and to top hidden reserves when market conditions are favorable. We attach great importance to the soundness of our investments and consequently only become involved in development projects in cases where the risk is assessable and where we can gain access to the valueadded chain at an early stage and thus achieve above-average profitability. We avoid speculative and high-risk commitments as a matter of principle. Shares instead of real estate – Where are the advantages? Deutsche Real Estate AG conducts its business as a traditional real estate stock corporation. Its shares are listed on the Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg and Bremen stock exchanges. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s status as a quoted corporation opens up a number of interesting opportunities for financing its investments. One of these is capital stock increases or issue of new shares against subscriptions in kind. Instead of paying cash for the shares, the new stockholder transfers assets in the form of either actual real estate or shares in real estate companies to Deutsche Real Estate AG. This subscription in kind increases the value of Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real estate portfolio and at the same time increases the corporation’s equity ratio and, consequently, its ability to negotiate borrowings. The person making the subscription in kind, i.e. the seller of the real estate, acquires a share in Deutsche Real Estate AG equivalent to the value of his subscription. By shifting his investment | 13| from actual real estate into shares, he gains greater flexibility in control of his assets and can also concentrate more closely on his core business. German corporation law stipulates special requirements for subscriptions in kind. These regulations are aimed at protecting stockholders and ensuring probity in business dealings. It is necessary to show proof that the subscription in kind will be acquired at a true and fair value and neither under- nor overvalued. This requires an expert appraisal guaranteeing and demonstrating a reasonable relationship between the value of the subscription in kind and the number and price of the newly issued shares. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Forum What advantages does the real estate corporation share have over direct investment or acquisition of units of a closed-end real estate fund? Real estate has a strong attraction for German investors because of its genuine substance, soundness and stable long-term returns. Although traditional investment forms like direct investment or acquisition of units of a closed-end real estate fund dominated the market for a long time, shares in real estate stock corporations have been gaining ground since the end of the 1990’s. This trend is attributable to a number of advantages offered by investment in quoted real estate stock corporations. The most important of these is the negotiability of the asset because the shares can be sold at any time. The investor can liquidate the asset daily on the stock exchange and realize profits quickly. Another advantage is the relatively low nominal price of the shares, which enables smaller investors to acquire an interest in real estate. A large real estate portfolio with a wide geographical spread covering a variety of types of use also diminishes market risks like the sudden loss of major tenants. One significant plus point for stockholders in security terms is the protective legislation embodied in the regulations governing official share listing and the resulting audit and publication requirements. In contrast to shares in real estate corporations, direct investment in real estate has gradually become less attractive, mainly because of changes in tax regulations. The speculation period both for direct real estate investments and for units of closed-end funds has been extended in most cases to ten years during which capital gains are liable to tax. This has robbed investors of the chance to react flexibly to changes in their personal circumstances or to market fluctuations. In contrast, capital gains on real estate corporation shares are tax-free as from the expiry of a 12-month speculation period. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t What are the differences between a real Why is the Deutsche Real Estate AG estate stock corporation and an open- share attractive? ended real estate fund? Real estate stock corporations are not subject to any official restrictions on their investments, i.e. the management, in consultation with the Supervisory Board, has complete freedom to take entrepreneurial decisions. For a corporation like Deutsche Real Estate AG, pursuing an active real estate management policy, this is a key success factor. It helps to generate value appreciation potential which should be reflected in the share price. We can take action on any property appearing on the market in which our management sees an attractive development potential, irrespective of the volume involved. These include undeveloped sites and sites currently under development. We can also acquire real estate companies, either in part or in whole, and there are no restrictions on our acquisition of interests in other real estate stock corporations. In contrast, the open-ended real estate fund’s freedom to invest is severely hampered by official requirements to maintain high liquid reserves to enable prompt redemption of units. Deutsche Real Estate AG is a rapidly growing real estate stock corporation operating in a field where the investor enjoys a high degree of security. This is a sound basis from which to pursue a yield-oriented corporate strategy based on active real estate management and concentration on German commercial real estate. Deutsche Real Estate AG, a member of the HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group, is actively expanding its real estate portfolio. Our investments are exclusively in Germany and focused at present on commercial real estate. We deliberately avoid dilution of our fixed assets with holdings or securities alien to the real estate sector. Deutsche Real Estate AG invests exclusively in real values, especially at preferred locations but also in selected properties outside the larger conurbations provided that they offer high earnings potential. In some cases, entry into the value-added chain at an early stage can generate additional earnings potential. Consequently, we are prepared to envision limited involvement in new real estate developments subject to the proviso that these entail a calculable risk. This helps swell the volume of hidden reserves in our growing real estate portfolio. | 15| During its last fiscal year the corporation’s intrinsic value rose by around t8.9 million as a result of partial redemption of borrowings. We consider it essential to keep Deutsche Real Estate AG stockholders, the investors in and owners of the corporation, fully informed of developments affecting it. Transparency generates confidence and it is for this reason that we pursue a policy of open communication. For example, the latest news on the corporation is available through the Internet. In summary, we believe that the Deutsche Real Estate AG share has genuine substance and offers a high degree of security plus stable long-term yields. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS Prospects for real estate shares looking good 2001 was an unsuccessful year for most of the international stock markets. The clear downturn in global economic activity and the continuing crisis in the so-called New Economy were salient market features over large parts of the year. The downward trend reached its nadir with the collapse following the terrorist attacks of September 11. A gradual recovery set in from this very depressed level during the final quarter. The prevailing trend was clearly reflected in the 30 leading German shares making up the DAX Index. German real estate shares weathered the inclement stock exchange environment much more satisfactorily. The DIMAX, a special index of 58 real estate stock corporations kept by the Ellwanger & Geiger Bank, remained fairly steady during the course of the year. Market observers attribute this better performance to changes in investor behavior. The erosion in prices of speculative stocks prompted investors to switch their attention to investment options with more substance.

After starting the year 2001at t14.00 in Frankfurt, it hit a low of t7.50 in September before recovering to t9.21 at the end of the year. Despite this recovery the overall development of the share price was unsatisfactory, reflect- ing neither the positive trend in earnings nor the increased intrinsic value resulting partly from value appreciation and partly from redemption of borrowings on individual properties that were financed from cash flow. We are nonetheless confident that our business plan with its clear, yieldoriented focus on active real estate management will be recognised by investors soon enough to justify a bullish approach to Deutsche Real Estate AG shares.

Stockholders, in particular institutional investors, expect to receive clear data enabling them to make a reliable valuation of a listed corporation. The Real Estate Committee of the German Association for Financial Analysis and Investment Consultancy (DVFA) is drafting procedures for analyzing the value of real estate and real estate stock corporations. One useful method for appraising real estate stock corporations holding real estate portfolios could be the Net Asset Value (NAV) method. A standardized and generally applicable procedure for calculating this value is now being developed. Dietzenbach, Waldstrasse 66-76 Another promising instrument for improving transparency and comparing performance on the German real estate market is the German Real Estate Index (DIX) introduced four years ago by the German Real Estate Databank (DID). This measures the performance of direct real estate investments by institutional investors in Germany. Once its new real estate-specific SAP system has become fully operational, Deutsche Real Estate AG intends to create a DIX-conform database and interface. This will enable us to use DID data for performance assessment and benchmarking purposes. The Ellwanger & Geiger Bank’s DIMAX index provides transparency on share prices by comparing all quoted German real estate stock corporations. After weighting for market capitalization, Deutsche Real Estate AG stood at 17th place in the list of 58 shares at end 2001. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS Corporate governance Development of share capital Corporate governance rules are becoming also increasingly important for stock exchange-listed corporations in Germany. Relevant principles for corporations quoted in Germany were formulated as a Code of Best Practice in 2000. A DVFA working committee has now designed a corporate governance scorecard for the systematic evaluation of these corporations. A binding code of practice embodying these principles is being formulated. This will be adopted in the statute book as part of the legislation for better protection of stockholders. Deutsche Real Estate AG rounded off the nominal value of its share in fiscal 2001. Following the change to the Euro in March 1999, the corporation’s capital stock was t18,897,347.93 subdivided into 18,480,000 shares with a nominal value of t1.02 per share. During the year under review Deutsche Real Estate AG carried out a capital stock decrease by the simplified procedure to adjust the nominal value per share to t1.00. This reduced the capital stock by t417,347.93 to t18,480,000.00. The adjustment did not change the number of shares.

The resulting liquid funds will be earmarked for further expansion of Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real estate portfolio during the course of the current year. Stockholder structure There were no changes in stockholder structure during fiscal 2001. HBAG Real Estate AG remains Deutsche Real Estate AG’s majority stockholder with a 56.56% interest. The interest held by WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG remains unchanged at 24.89%. The Hamburgische Landesbank and the Bayerische Landesbank each hold a 5.07% interest and the remaining 8.41% are held by other stockholders. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s Management Board and majority stockholder continue to favor a wider spread of ownership of the corporation’s shares and will consequently seek to attract new stockholders and increase the free float percentage with future capital stock increases. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our stockholders for the confidence that they have once again shown in Deutsche Real Estate AG during the past fiscal year.

This negative trend was further exacerbated by the events of September 11 in the USA. The impetus imparted to the global economy by the USA gradually slackened off, whilst Japan enjoyed only a brief recovery before sliding back into recession. The collapse of the New Economy depressed the whole Asian market. The economic health of the South American states remained precarious, as evidenced by the crisis in Argentina. The unfavorable global background situation could not fail to affect the countries of the European Union which were unable to repeat last year’s good results, with | 22| Germany near the bottom of the performance list. Growth of Germany’s gross domestic product sank to 0.6% after a plus of 3% in 2000. This poor result was mainly attributable to sagging export growth and industry’s disinclination to risk capital expenditure. Activity in the construction industry fell even more sharply than last year, especially in the residential sector. The volume of other construction work remained at below-average levels. The construction market was once again harder hit in eastern than in western Germany. Positive trend in West German commercial property market Trends in the domestic real estate market varied widely from region to region. Whereas the glut of available space continued to depress the market in the new east German states and made further downward adjustments inevitable, the environment in west Germany was generally much more favorable despite some marked regional differences. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Augsburg, Bürgermeister-Fischer-Strasse 11 D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t MANAGEMENT REPORT Demand once again focused on the large west German conurbations, generally holding steady at last year’s high levels for space at prime locations in the growth regions Munich, Frankfurt am Main, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin. The office space market managed to buck the general economic trend and celebrated another record year in 2001. Despite increases in area of available space, vacancy rates, especially in the west German centers above, fell to around 2% and even lower in some cases. The vacancy rate in Berlin dropped to below 8%. In contrast, the market situation in the east German cities of Leipzig and Dresden remained problematic. The German retail sector suffered a marked setback in 2001. Although the Christmas trade was quite brisk in parts, it was insufficient to prevent a decline for the year as a whole, after two years in which modest gains had been reported. This meant that the retail sector is still proving unable to extricate itself from a period of recession that has now lasted ten years. This situation has inevitably increased competitive pressures and the trend towards further concentration within the sector. Rental levels for retail space remained under pressure as a consequence of the weakness in the retail sector, although there were once again wide regional differences. Demand tended to focus on prime downtown locations and on the more attractive shopping malls where rentals have been showing an upward trend ever since 1998. Rental levels were also buoyant in towns with a large catchment area and adequate space reserves of the quality demanded by the large retail chains. The markets in the east German cities and for locations lower rated remained in the doldrums. Money market Investors in property once again enjoyed fair weather in the money market and interest rates even showed further marked declines during the course of 2001. The German Federal Reserve Bank reports that average interest rates for 10-year mortgages on residential real estate stood at 5.9% in December 2001, higher than the historical low reached in 1999, but nonetheless still two percentage points below the long-term average. | 24| The sustained low interest rates favored the financing of investment projects with loan capital plus a relatively low proportion of own funds and it was possible to achieve positive cash flows on properties offering adequate yields and financed with long-term loans at fixed interest rates. This created positive leverage effects. Legal situation The legal situation remained stable for German real estate stock corporations during the year under review despite the accelerating trend towards globalization. However, the Rental Reform Act that came into force on September 1, 2001 did bring some changes affecting not only tenancy agreements signed on or after that date but also existing agreements. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t The new act has only marginal implications for commercial tenancy agreements. These relate mainly to compensation claimable by landlords for modifications or dilapidations of rented premises. Whereas claims of this kind formerly lapsed after six months, expiry of this period can now be suspended if either party files an application for institution of an independent evidence-collecting procedure. The so-called “major” reform of the law of obligations that came into force on January 1, 2002 will have an indirect effect on our business. The statute of limitations has been revised by reducing the general limitation period to three years and extending to two years the limitation period for claims under purchase and contract law relating to defects. Contract and purchase laws have also been revised and brought closer into line with each other. Neu-Isenburg, Dornhofstrasse 34 Tax situation The reform of corporate taxation initiated in the year 2000 brought some fundamental changes in corporation tax liabilities. The full deduction system was replaced by the so-called “half-income” system effective January 1, 2001. This means that, although stockholders now only have to pay tax on half their dividend income, they can no longer deduct the corporation tax already paid by the corporation. The corporation tax rate was also reduced to a uniform 25% with effect from January 1, 2001. A number of other significant tax reforms entered into effect on January 1, 2002. These include a general tax exemption on the sale of shares held by corporations in other corporations as from fiscal 2002. This will make stock investments substantially more attractive for institutional investors. The changes introduced by the year 2000 tax reform have brought another significant benefit for financial holding companies, in that dividends paid by subsidiaries will be tax-free as from fiscal 2002. | 25| Capital gains on the sale of stocks held by private persons are tax-free after expiry of a one-year speculation period subject to the proviso that their stockholding does not constitute a major interest in the relevant corporation. However, the definition of a “major interest” has been reduced from 10% to 1% effective January 1, 2002. The half-income procedure will now apply to tax-liable sales of shares within the speculation period and to holdings constituting an interest of 1% or more. The so-called building deduction tax also took effect on January 1, 2002. This affects the construction industry and is intended to curb tax evasion and employment of illegal labor. Developers are now required to deduct 15% from all amounts billed for construction work and remit the deduction direct to the tax office. The developer is compelled to make this deduction in all cases where the supplier is unable to furnish a certificate of exemption from his tax office. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t MANAGEMENT REPORT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OF DEUTSCHE REAL ESTATE AG AND THE GROUP Lübeck, Bei der Lohmühle 21a Deutsche Real Estate AG can report growth in all its divisions during fiscal 2001. The real estate portfolio (including the portfolios of its subsidiaries) was enlarged by 7 new properties during the course of the year to bring the total to 66. Rental space increased by around 121,480 m2 (+19%) to approx. 757,200 m2. Consolidated fixed assets rose by t116 million (+ 31%) to t488 million. The volume under management at closing date totaled approx. t978 million as compared with t758 million in the previous year. Pursuant to our policy of active real estate management, the sole aim of the investments undertaken during the year under review was value appreciation of the overall real estate portfolio. Regional risks and risks inherent in tenant and portfolio structures were spread more widely and consequently reduced. The acquisition of properties with a strong public image has also increased public awareness of Deutsche Real Estate AG. The corporation has, for example, acquired for t9.1 million a 26% interest in the company owning Gloria Passage, an office, retail and hotel development on Berlin’s top shopping street Kurfürstendamm close to the city’s WW2 memorial church. The building complex contains 8,300 m2 of retail space and 6,900 m2 of residential and hotel space. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Via a package deal, Deutsche Real Estate AG has also acquired an interest in OsramHöfe and Forum Seestrasse, two buildings that exert a special kind of fascination because of their size and their unique industrial architecture. Both are located in top commercial estates situated on the northern fringe of Berlin’s central district and have a total net internal area of 75,500 m2. Their varied tenant and tenancy agreement structures hold attractive prospects for the future. Other properties included in the package are a 25% interest in the Lützowplatz office center in Berlin’s Tiergarten district and a 94% interest in a shopping center in the Berlin suburb of Reinickendorf that is fully let to the Bauhaus GmbH & Co. KG and Otto Reichelt AG retail chains. This deal will be financed by a capital stock increase to be paid for by subscription in kind. The most significant acquisitions in 2001 Deutsche Real Estate AG has acquired a logistics center in Dietzenbach near Frankfurt am Main with 4,320 m2 of office space and 40,300 m2 of warehouse space. It is fully let to the Kaufhof AG department store chain. The investment volume totaled t13.5 million. In April, the group acquired an interest in a commercial complex in Heidemannstrasse, Munich. Most of the site is let to BMW. A neighboring site 7,940 m2 in area on Maria-Probst-Strasse was bought during the year under review for t4.75 million. A warehouse building with total space of 5,414 m2 stands on this site. The tenancy agreement on this warehouse runs for another five years. Acquisition of this site creates a second strategic access route to the BMW site. Deutsche Real Estate AG has invested t8.6 million in a commercial property in Lübeck currently occupied by two firstclass call center operators. The building has 2,826 m2 of sales space and 3,350 m2 of office space. The investment gives Deutsche Real Estate AG a 90% interest in the real estate company owning the property. Part of the purchase price will be paid in the form of Deutsche Real Estate AG shares that will be bought back at market terms from the HBAG Real Estate AG stockholding. | 27| The company has acquired a new logistics and production building at a location with extremely favorable traffic access facilities in Frankenthal near Ludwigshafen for approx. t5.9 million. It is let on a long lease at attractive conditions. The site also has good reserves for further development. Two office buildings were acquired, one in Munich and one in Stuttgart, at the beginning of the year under review, for modernization and reletting. Deutsche Real Estate AG acquired a 65% interest in a project for a building on the Prinzregentenstrasse in Munich for t16.6 million. This project is scheduled for completion during the first quarter of 2002. 62% of the total 4,900 m2 of space had already been let by the end of 2001. The building at the top location of Friedrichstrasse in downtown Stuttgart was acquired for t17.5 million. Conversion work on this building was completed during 2001 and its 7,800 m2 of office and retail space has been fully let since October 2001. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t MANAGEMENT REPORT In Berlin, Deutsche Real Estate AG bought a 3,368 m2 undeveloped site at Reichpietschufer in the Tiergarten district. Construction of an office building with approx. 10,000 m2 of rental space is planned on this site. Completion is scheduled for end 2003/early 2004. Other action to optimize the portfolio Deutsche Real Estate AG has invested a further amount of t1.5 million in Heidelberg’s Technology Park. Acquisition of a 23.1% interest from the Heidelberg Savings Bank brought the corporation’s interest in the company responsible for the first two project phases up to 49%. Deutsche Real Estate AG also owns a 49% interest in the company that will be responsible for the third phase of the Technology Park project. The other stockholder is once again the Heidelberg Savings Bank. Construction work is now scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2002 after a 6-month delay caused by problems with the approval of the facade design. However, the terms of the agreement with the general contractor mean that Deutsche Real Estate AG will suffer no financial loss as a result of this delay. The letting status of the Heidelberg Technology Park stood at just under 40% on January 31, 2002. One reason for this is that startup financing options available to the biotech companies for which the park is designed have recently been considerably curbed. It has nonetheless been possible to attract a number of interesting tenants. The first and second phase and the multistorey carpark of the development at Dornhofstrasse in Neu-Isenburg were completed and fully occupied by tenants during the year under review. Construction work for the third building was on schedule. The preletting status on January 31, 2002, shortly before completion, was a very satisfactory 93.5%. It has proved possible to obtain higher rentals than those budgeted for the project. A total of 21,245 m2 of office space has been constructed on the site. Investment Volume by Market Sectors Status as of February 2002 Retail 22.4% Commercial 77.5% Residential 0.1% | 28| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Renovation work on the property at Osterfeldstrasse in Hamburg was delayed in 2001, partly as a result of tenant withdrawal and partly because of difficulties in obtaining planning permission for the proposed change of use. Revision of the use concept and near-completion of the first construction phase brought a marked revival in demand for the available office space. The preletting status on January 31, 2002 was around 20%. Proceeds from sales achieved through the determined implementation of its active portfolio management policy brought Deutsche Real Estate AG a total cash inflow of t15 million during 2001. The main items sold were the interests in the properties at Oberanger in Munich and at Dornhofstrasse 34 and 36 in NeuIsenburg which were sold at good prices following completion of the building and renovation work and letting of the renovated space. Details of the complete real estate portfolio of Deutsche Real Estate AG and its subsidiaries and other relevant data are listed on the inside back cover of this report. An updated list of all real estate holdings with illustrations and details of the individual properties and their locations can be downloaded from the Deutsche Real Estate AG web site at www.drestate.de. Financing The equity shown in the consolidated accounts of Deutsche Real Estate AG at closing date of fiscal 2001 stood at t97 million. The corporation’s capital structure remains sound despite the strong growth rate. Liabilities to banks have risen to t417 million in parallel with expansion of the portfolio. Most of the corporation’s real estate is financed by long-term loans because of the favorable interest rates obtainable. A significant part of the cash flow is obtained from long-term tenancy agreements on the properties in the portfolio.

Other operating income rose from t8.5 million to t14.6 million. This mainly represents profits on the sale of interests in the buildings at Oberanger in Munich and at Dornhofstrasse 34 and 36 in Neu-Isenburg. Profit Growth in consolidated sales brought a sharp improvement in the holding company’s earnings, results from ordinary activities climbing by just under 84% to t12.3 million. The after-tax surplus was 115% up on the previous year at t11.7 million. Consolidated results from ordinary activities were t3.4 million and the consolidated after-tax surplus was t1.1 million. The Management and Supervisory Boards will propose to the Annual General Meeting that Deutsche Real Estate AG’s net income for the year of t11,653,493.94 be transferred to retained earnings. Deutsche Real Estate AG has an obligation to publish consolidated financial statements including the results of its subsidiaries. The holding company’s net profit for the year can be reconciled with the consolidated loss as follows: Organization and administration Deutsche Real Estate AG transferred its head office from Hamburg to the German capital city Berlin in August 2001. The new head office premises are at Markgrafenstrasse 36 on the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin’s new city center. Deutsche Real Estate AG owns a 47.4% interest in the office building. One of the main reasons for the transfer is the fact that Berlin is now one of Germany’s largest and most rapidly growing real estate markets. Holding company’s net income for the year Subsidiary company results not included in holding company’s financial statements Elimination of income from investments in shares of subsidiary and associated companies Elimination of inter-group profits Depreciation arising from capital consolidation Depreciation arising from equity consolidation Consolidated loss This result is largely attributable to startup losses from some of the subsidiary companies. These arise mainly from interest charges for financing building work not yet capitalized. | 30| t 11,697,861 t -9,587,449 t t t t Q -784,227 -6,123,034 -454,317 -1,214,650 -6,465,816 D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Deutsche Real Estate AG’s in-house currency was converted to the Euro on July 1, 2001.

TAXXUS Real Estate Service GmbH & Co., Hamburg, was responsible until end July 2001 for office organization and real estate management within the group. Following the transfer of its head office, Deutsche Real Estate AG has now created its own office organization and management company trading under the name Deutsche Real Estate Service GmbH & Co.

TAXXUS Real Estate Service GmbH & Co. continues to be responsible for financial services and public relations. These arrangements give Deutsche Real Estate AG access to adequate resources of qualified staff and modern technology in all its areas of activity. has integrated accounting and reporting systems, enhancing data quality and availability and improving control of the corporation’s activities. The two companies charge Deutsche Real Estate AG fixed fees for the services provided. At the beginning of 2002, Deutsche Real Estate AG applied for registration of the mark DRESTATE.

We also need to research and analyze trends in demands made by tenants and users and anticipate developments which could materially affect the market value of our properties. Berlin, Hackesche Höfe As a member of the non-profit-making association agenda4 E community, Deutsche Real Estate AG is planning to design an advanced interdisciplinary training course in conjunction with universities and business institutions. This will aim to create a cross-system approach linking the functions of town and regional planning, architecture, civil engineering, economics, ecology and law. This will necessitate complete reorganization of the traditional value-added chain – from the derelict site to the functioning building – and the introduction of modern management methods and process engineering into the fields of real estate and urban development. Employees Deutsche Real Estate AG has no employees. The item of t1.8 million for personnel expenses relates to remuneration paid to the Management Board and pension payments to a former executive director. Risk management Deutsche Real Estate AG constantly pursues a process of weighing up entrepreneurial opportunities and risks because it is only by consciously incurring risks that above-average results can be achieved. It is the systematic management of risks within the corporate organization, i.e. their identification, analysis and handling, that is crucial for a company’s future success. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t The nature of Deutsche Real Estate AG’s business, namely the creation and management of a real estate portfolio is, in principle, a low-risk area. The risk of a total loss is low because the corporation is investing in assets with genuine substance. This does not however obviate the need for subjecting the risks relating specifically to the real estate sector to close examination and assessment. The corporation’s reorganization and reorientation only dates back to 1998 and all its subsequent transactions have been handled by people who are still working in responsible positions. This does much to facilitate ongoing assessment of individual risks. The corporation’s management uses instruments designed to identify and control risks, and risk analysis procedures are being set out in a manual. The analysis process has now been completed and the manual is in course of preparation. The markets in which real estate stock corporations operate are affected by the ongoing process of globalization and are becoming increasingly complex. It is management’s task to position the corporation correctly in this environment and to decide and plan the course to be followed. The Management Board has qualified advisers at its disposal to help in solving the numerous tax and legal problems. The progressive depreciation method used by the corporation brings an increase in depreciation charges on a real estate asset as time progresses. This inevitably affects profit. During the period in which fixed interest rates apply to the long-term loans for financing existing real estate acquisitions, this negative effect is offset by decreasing interest charges as loans are redeemed. An issue of high priority to our corporation in its present phase of expansion and high growth is availability of capital. Under the favorable conditions now prevailing in the financial markets there are adequate supplies of loan capital available at low interest rates. The management also makes use of other instruments for acquiring additional capital, including subscriptions in kind of real estate assets in exchange for new shares. At a later date the issue of corporate bonds is planned. This is one way of counteracting the effects of any interest rate increase which could minimize the leverage effect. A positive leverage effect was obtained during the year under review from financing by mortgage loans. | 33| Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real estate investments are concentrated exclusively in Germany. No transactions which could endanger our corporation’s existence have been undertaken. Deutsche Real Estate AG pursues a policy of spreading risks across a broad selection of properties and regions. Investment funds are systematically allocated to conurbations, major cities and regions with development potential, especially in west Germany, and also to different types of use, especially retail and other commercial use. Access to the necessary local knowledge is obtained through our national network of strategic holdings in regional agencies, our local partners. This enables us to react rapidly to local developments. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t MANAGEMENT REPORT Both opportunities and risks are inherent in the letting of individual investment properties. Our tenancy agreement monitoring procedure ensures maximum contractual coverage of these risks. Additional insurance cover is taken out, where possible, against other operational risks. Under our active portfolio management policy we decide from case to case whether to seek long-term tenancy agreements (up to 15 years) or only more short-term agreements. Aspects like type of property and market situation are key factors influencing these decisions. Responsibility for letting vacant space is in the hands of the local partners but subject to approval by the Management Board. The strategic objective in all cases is long-term capital appreciation rather than short-term profit. A combination of detailed planning at local (individual building) level and regular reports is used for the purposes of portfolio controlling and analysis. Ongoing technical control and supervision of our properties are covered by contracts with specialized companies. These contractors are involved prior to acquisition of new properties and carry out surveys to identify and evaluate any hidden defects or environmental problems. We take out optimal insurance cover through a specialized broker against all risks to which the building itself is exposed. The process of ongoing adaptation of our buildings to the changing needs of tenants and users is not confined merely to technical developments. It also includes considerations like trends in space requirements and fitting-out standards. The HBAG/AGIV Real Estate Group keeps factors like the impact of modern communication techniques on the real estate market under constant observation. The group’s international activities enable it to draw comparisons with developments in other markets, for example, in the USA. The Deutsche Real Estate AG management has unrestricted access to all the group’s resources and available information. | 34| Dependence report As Deutsche Real Estate AG was not subject to any control agreement during fiscal year 2001, it has produced a report on its relations with affiliated companies pursuant to Section 312 of the German Corporation Act (AktG). This report closes with the following statement: “In all the transactions described in this report on its relations with affiliated companies our corporation has without exception received a fair and adequate consideration under the circumstances known to us at the time of the individual transaction. No action was taken during fiscal year 2001 which the corporation is legally required to disclose.” D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t OUTLOOK Economic forecasts for the year 2002 are somewhat restrained. Although some indicators appear to show that the US economy is now recovering; the situation remains highly uncertain. On the assumption that no serious adverse events occur, economic experts are now forecasting modest growth in the US economy, roughly to last year’s level. This will almost certainly be inadequate to give any real impetus to the global economy. Deepening of the present recession is forecast for Japan and somewhat lower growth for the countries of the European Union. Berlin, Gendarmenmarkt © Michael Haddenhorst, Berlin | 35| This picture promises, at best, a certain degree of recovery for the German economy. The letting market will continue to exhibit widely varying trends from region to region. The east German markets will continue to suffer from difficult conditions, as also will the less attractive markets in the western part of Germany. Although demand for space at prime locations in the large conurbations will continue to run at a high level, the clouded economic outlook will make it difficult or impossible to repeat the results reported for the years 2000 and 2001. This applies particularly to the retail sector which will likely experience a sales downturn in real terms unless impetus comes from a revival of private sector demand. On the other hand, opportunities are looking good for logistics complexes. D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t MANAGEMENT REPORT Forecasters are predicting a slight downward trend in interest rates. This means that the basic conditions for investors in rented buildings will remain favorable. Deutsche Real Estate AG is planning to invest around t250 million in its real estate portfolio during the current fiscal year 2002. In view of the prevailing low interest rates, this amount will once again include a high proportion of loan capital. This will induce positive leverage effects that will increase the profitability of Deutsche Real Estate AG’s real estate portfolio. Deutsche Real Estate AG will also use any good opportunities for selective sale of real estate in order to create new earnings potential. In the circumstances outlined above, the Deutsche Real Estate AG Management Board is confident that good results will once again be achieved in fiscal 2002. We are planning to continue on the present growth course over the medium term. In order to attain the ambitious targets we have set ourselves, we propose to make greater use of capital stock increases up to the authorized level against subscriptions in both cash and kind. Several investments in companies owning and managing real estate were obtained from a third party during fiscal 2001.The purchase contracts provide for payment in the form of either Deutsche Real Estate AG or HBAG Real Estate AG shares. Payment will fall due on or after September 30, 2002 and management will have to decide during the intervening period how this will be handled. One option would be to obtain the Supervisory Board’s consent to use already authorized capital stock to acquire interests of this kind in German companies subject to the proviso that such acquisitions are compatible with the corporation’s object. This would obviate the need for payment from the group’s own liquid resources or from additional borrowings. We expect the planned merger between our majority stockholder HBAG Real Estate AG and AGIV Real Estate AG, a corporation included in the German MDAX index, to give further impetus to our business. Completion of this merger will make Deutsche Real Estate AG part of an even stronger group. We and the highly qualified staff at our disposal are planning to seize the opportunities offered and to continue our policy of successful growth.

GENERAL INFORMATION The financial statements for fiscal 2001 have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the German Commercial Code and Corporation Act. The financial statements as of December 31, 2001 are presented in Euro for the first time. Figures for the previous year have been converted to Euro to facilitate comparison. II. ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS Intangible fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost less scheduled depreciation. Tangible fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost less scheduled depreciation. The depreciation rate is determined by tax regulations. The straight-line method of depreciation is used. Individual low-value items have been written off in the year of their acquisition and listed in that year as disposals. Financial assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost (including ancillary acquisition costs) or value at balance sheet date. Receivables and other assets are shown at the lower of nominal or book value on the closing date. Actuarial principles were used to calculate accruals for pensions by the discounted present value method. The calculations were based on Heubeck biometric tables. Other accruals have been made in amounts based on customary business judgment to cover all risks discernible at the closing date. Liabilities are shown at the amounts payable. Amounts payable denominated in foreign currencies have been converted at the higher of the rates applying on the day of the transaction or the rate at closing date. Contrary to last year’s procedure, liabilities to Roland Ernst are shown as trade payables (last year under “Other liabilities”). | 41| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t III.

Receivables and other current assets All receivables and other current assets fall due for payment within one year. The main items included under the item “Other current assets” are tax refund claims of €2,151,000, outstanding loans granted of €1,148,000 and an outstanding pension liability insurance claim of €121,000. The tax refund claims relate mainly to items from fiscal years 1999 and 2000 (Corporation Tax and Solidarity Surcharge). The assessments have not yet been finalized. 3. Subscribed capital The corporation’s capital stock was decreased by €417,000 from €18,897,000 to €18,480,000 at the Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2001 by the simplified procedure. It is subdivided into 18,480,000 no par value bearer shares. The Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2001 approved the following amendment, relating to the capital stock, to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to increase the corporation’s capital stock against subscriptions in cash or in cash and kind by one or more issues of new no par value bearer shares up to a maximum total value of €4,620,000 (authorized capital stock) between now and April 13, 2004. The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to increase the corporation’s capital stock against subscriptions in cash or in kind by one or more issues of new no par value bearer shares up to a maximum total value of €4,620,000 (authorized capital stock) between now and May 17, 2006 (authorized capital stock II). The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock. The Management Board is in all cases empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock in cases where this may become necessary to avoid residual fractions of shares or to enable the corporation to grant holders of option rights (i.e. of stock options or convertible bonds) to exercise those preemptive rights which they would be entitled to exercise as stockholders. The Management Board is also in all cases empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to subscribe to capital increases in the form of one or more issues of authorized capital stock in cases where the nominal value of the capital stock increase does not exceed 10% of the capital stock registered in the Commercial Register at the time of the first use of the authorized capital stock and where the price of the newly issued shares is not substantially lower than the quoted prices of the shares already being traded on the | 52| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t stock exchange on the date on which the issue price is finally agreed. The authorization contained in the fourth sentence shall not apply in cases where the simplified provisions for exclusion of preemptive rights in accordance with the fourth sentence of paragraph 3 of Section 186 of the German Corporation Act are invoked for an authorization to sell a stockholder’s own shares privately. In cases where preemptive rights are not excluded at the time of a capital stock increase within the limits of the authorized capital stock, the Management Board can, subject to Supervisory Board consent, permit third parties to acquire new shares against subscriptions in cash or in kind and inform stockholders that they should not exercise their preemptive rights. The value of a subscription in kind must be determined by a qualified independent appraiser using recognized valuation methods. The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to decide the details of the capital stock increase and its enactment. The Supervisory Board is empowered to amend Clause 4 of the Articles of Incorporation according to the use of the authorized capital stock and after expiry of the deadline of the authorization. The subscribed capital stock can also be increased by a nominal amount of up to €770,000, subdivided into 770,000 no par value bearer shares for the exercise of stock options. This is a conditional capital stock increase which will only take place to the extent that the holders of stock options issued in accordance with the stockholders’ resolution at the Annual General Meeting on April 13, 1999 actually exercise these options. Options on a total of 431,100 shares had been granted to directors and employees of affiliated companies as of balance sheet closing date. A resolution approved by the Annual General Meeting on August 31, 2000 authorizes Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft to acquire its own shares up to an amount of 10% of the registered share capital. This authorization became effective as from October 1, 2000 and will remain so until March 30, 2002. 4. Capital reserve The following changes had occurred in the capital reserve as of the closing date: € ‘000 Status as of January 1, 2001 Transfer from capital stock decrease Status as of December 31, 2001 79,208 417 79,625 | 53| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HOLDING COMPANY 5. Revenue reserve As in the previous year, the revenue reserve consists of the legally required reserve of €752,000 and other retained earnings totaling €4,893,000. 6. Appropriation of net profit The Management Board proposes that the net profit of €11,653,493.94 for the fiscal year 2001 be transferred to retained earnings. 7. Accruals for pensions and similar obligations Actuarial principles are used to calculate accruals for pensions by the discounted present value method. The calculations were based on Heubeck biometric tables. 8. Tax accruals The tax accruals include €592,000 for Corporation Tax and €32,000 for Solidarity Surcharge for fiscal year 2001. An accrual of €267,000 was created in 1999 solely as a precautionary measure for a possible Trade Tax liability. However, as we have invoked Section 9, Item 2a of the Trade Tax regulations for the investment income involved in this case, this should not be liable to Trade Tax. The tax assessments for fiscal year 1999 have not yet been finalized. Most of the accruals of €674,000 (last year: €674,000) for deferred taxation have been calculated from the differences between investment income received from the partnership subsidiaries and the lower amount of taxable profit on which Deutsche Real Estate AG is assessed. The differences between the amounts shown for investment income from the subsidiaries in the commercial balance sheet and in the tax balance sheet result from the fact that the real estate owned by the subsidiaries is subject to progressive depreciation in the former and straight-line depreciation of 4% per annum in the latter. A Corporation Tax rate of 25% and Solidarity Surcharge rate of 5.5% were used to calculate the amount of the accrual for deferred taxation. 9. Other accruals The main items under “Other accruals” are the cost of preparation and audit of the annual report and financial statements (€104,000), rental deposits (€67,000), management bonuses (€241,000), remuneration of the Supervisory Board (€130,000), production of annual reports and publication costs (€160,000) and consultancy fees (€43,000). | 54| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t 10.

FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS The corporation and one of its subsidiaries, Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft, signed undertakings to the Bayerische Landesbank of Munich on December 21, 1999 relating to the granting of loans totaling €76,693,000 to the wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft for the acquisition of the Stinnes DIY markets. | 57| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HOLDING COMPANY The corporation and Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft are liable jointly and severally to the Bayerische Landesbank and gave the following undertakings to the bank which remain valid for the period during which the loans remain outstanding . . to provide the debtor companies with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the loan agreements at all times; to compensate the bank in full for any arrears outstanding at the end of any year and for losses incurred through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency. The corporation has issued letters of comfort for subsidiaries with the legal form “GmbH & Co. KG” to the banks financing the properties belonging to these subsidiaries in the nominal amounts of the loans granted. The value of these outstanding loans totaled €115,806,000 as of December 31, 2001. Other financial obligations arise from an interest swap agreement signed on July 1, 1999 under which the corporation undertook to pay interest at a rate of 4.93% per annum during the period from December 1, 1999 to December 1, 2004 on an amount declining successively from €61,355,000 on December 1, 1999 to €53,031,000 on December 1, 2004. In return, the corporation receives interest on the relevant amount at the 1-month EURIBOR rate plus 0.5%. This agreement serves as a hedge against the interest risk on the loans granted to the subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft. The corporation has also given the following undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to a loan granted to DREAG Objekt Neu-Isenburg II GmbH & Co. KG of Hamburg: Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft hereby gives an undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to loans granted to the debtor company by DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank . . . not to change, cancel or withdraw its interest in the debtor company or take action to liquidate the debtor company without the prior written consent of the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg; to provide the debtor company with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the loan agreements at all times; to compensate the bank in full for any arrears outstanding at the end of any year and for losses incurred through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency during the period in which the loans remain outstanding. | 58| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t The aforementioned undertakings given by Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft of Bremerhaven will remain unchanged for the duration of any subsequent extensions of the loans granted to the debtor company by the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg even if consent to the extension of the loan has not been received on the date when the loan agreement expires.

The accounting system and the preparation of the financial statements and management report in accordance with German Commercial Law is the responsibility of the Corporation’s legal representatives. Our responsibility is to express an opinion, based on our audit, on the financial statements, including the accounting system, and on the management report. We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with Section 317 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and in compliance with the generally accepted German standards for the audit of financial statements issued by the German Institute of Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer, IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit in such a way as to obtain reasonable assurance that inaccuracies and violations are recognized which significantly affect the presentation of the net worth, financial position and results of operations as conveyed by the financial statements, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and by the management report. The scope of the audit was planned taking into account our understanding of business operations, the Corporation’s economic and legal environment, and any potential errors anticipated. In the course of the audit, the effectiveness of the system of internal accounting controls was assessed, and the disclosures made in the financial statements and the management report were verified, mainly on a test basis. The audit also includes assessment of the accounting principles used and of the significant estimates made by the legal representatives as well as evaluation of the overall presentation of the financial statements and the management report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit gave no cause for reservations. | 64| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t In our opinion, the financial statements present a true and fair view of Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft’s net worth, financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In all material respects the management report correctly and accurately presents the situation of the Corporation and the risks to its future development.

GENERAL INFORMATION The consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2001 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the German Commercial Code and German Corporation law. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 are presented in Euro for the first time. Figures for the previous year have been converted to Euro to facilitate comparison. II. COMPANIES INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the holding company Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft of Bremerhaven and those of its direct and indirect subsidiaries in which an interest of more than 50% is held. The number of subsidiary companies included in the consolidation rose from 70 last year to 91. The newly included companies are new companies formed during the year 2001 and K-Witt Kaufzentrum Wittenau GmbH, Berlin. The acquisition of K-Witt Kaufzentrum Wittenau GmbH did not affect the profit and loss account for 2001 because it was only consolidated on December 31, 2001. The main effects of the inclusion of K-Witt Kaufzentrum Wittenau GmbH was on the items “Consolidated fixed assets” and “Liabilities to banks”. The newly formed companies had no effect on the consolidated financial statements. The 70.07% holding in BAKOLA Miteigentumsfonds I Objekt Duisburg-Averdunk was not included in the consolidation. This company is of negligible significance for forming a true picture of the assets and financial and earnings situation of the group as a whole. The investment in DREAG Objekt Neu-Isenburg, Dornhofstrasse GmbH & Co. KG was disposed of during the fiscal year under review. The final consolidation was made as of January 1, 2001. We refer to the schedule of investment holdings on pages 66 to 71 which lists details of subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 290 of the German Commercial Code which are also affiliated companies within the meaning of Section 271, paragraph 2 of the German Commercial Code. The group also owns interests in associated companies as defined in Section 311 of the German Commercial Code. | 75| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS III. METHODS USED IN THE CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of all the companies included in the consolidation as of the same closing date. The book value method was used for the capital consolidation, the acquisition costs being offset against the group’s share in the subscribed capital of the subsidiary companies at the time of first consolidation (date of acquisition). Positive differences resulting from the capital consolidation are shown on the assets side of the balance sheet for those financial assets where current value exceeds book value. Any residual differences are shown as goodwill. Negative differences are shown as a separate item on the liabilities side. An adjustment item covering the shares of other stockholders in the consolidated companies is shown separately. The equity method was used to value interests in associated companies as defined in Section 311 of the German Commercial Code. The amount of the purchase price (book value) exceeding the group’s share in the equity of associated companies is included under the item “Land and buildings, leasehold rights and buildings, including buildings on third-party land”. Inter-group receivables and payables have been netted. Inter-group income has been netted against the corresponding expense items.

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES USED IN THE CONSOLIDATION The same accounting and valuation principles are uniformly applied throughout the Group. Intangible fixed assets are shown at acquisition cost less scheduled depreciation. The difference on capital consolidation shown as goodwill is written down over 15 years. Tangible fixed assets are capitalized at acquisition cost. Buildings are written down progressively over a 40-year period. If the straight-line method had been used, the depreciation charge would have been higher. Other tangible fixed assets are depreciated by the straight-line method over their anticipated useful life. Low-value items are written off in the year of acquisition. Financial assets are shown at the lower of acquisition cost or value at closing date. Receivables and other assets are shown at nominal value or value at closing date, which ever is the lowest. Actuarial principles were used to calculate accruals for pensions by the discounted present value method. The calculations were based on Heubeck biometric tables. Other accruals have been made in amounts based on customary business judgment to cover all risks discernible at the closing date. Liabilities are shown at the amounts payable. Amounts payable denominated in foreign currencies have been translated at the higher of the rate applying on the day of the transaction or the rate at closing date. Contrary to the last year’s procedure, liabilities to Roland Ernst are shown as trade payables (last year under “Other liabilities”). | 77| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t V.

Receivables and other current assets All receivables and other current assets fall due for payment within one year. The main items included under “Other current assets” are tax refund claims of €4,252,000 and outstanding loans granted of €1,146,000. 3. Subscribed capital The corporation’s capital stock was decreased by €417,000 from €18,897,000 to €18,480,000 at the Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2001 by the simplified procedure. It is subdivided into 18,480,000 no par value bearer shares. The Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2001 approved the following amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation relating to the capital stock: The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to increase the corporation’s capital stock against subscriptions in cash or in cash and kind by one or more issues of new no par value bearer shares up to a maximum total value of €4,620,000 (authorized capital stock) between now and April 13, 2004. The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to increase the corporation’s capital stock against subscriptions in cash or in kind by one or more issues of new no par value bearer shares up to a maximum total value of €4,620,000 (authorized capital stock) between now and May 17, 2006 (authorized capital stock II). The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock. The Management Board is in all cases empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to subscribe to authorized capital stock in cases where this may become necessary to avoid fractional shares or to enable the corporation to grant holders of option rights (i.e. of stock options or convertible bonds) to exercise those preemptive rights which they would be entitled to exercise as stockholders. The Management Board is also in all cases empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to exclude stockholders’ legal preemptive rights to subscribe to capital increases in the form of one or more issues of authorized capital stock in cases where the nominal value of the capital stock increase does not exceed 10% of the capital stock registered in the Commercial Register at the time of first use of the authorized capital stock and where the price of the newly issued shares is not substantially lower than the quoted prices of the shares already being traded on the stock exchange on the date on which the issue price is finally agreed. The authorization contained in the fourth | 80| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t sentence shall not apply in cases where the simplified provisions for exclusion of preemptive rights pursuant to the fourth sentence of paragraph 3 of Section 186 of the German Corporation Act are invoked for an authorization to sell a stockholder’s own shares privately. In cases where preemptive rights are not excluded at the time of a capital stock increase within the limits of the authorized capital stock, the Management Board can, subject to Supervisory Board consent, permit third parties to acquire new shares against subscriptions in cash or in kind and inform stockholders that they should not exercise their preemptive rights. The value of a subscription in kind must be determined by a qualified independent appraiser using recognized valuation methods. The Management Board is empowered, subject to Supervisory Board consent, to decide the details of the capital stock increase and its enactment. The Supervisory Board is empowered to amend Clause 4 of the Articles of Incorporation according to the use of the authorized capital stock and after expiry of the deadline of the authorization. The subscribed capital can also be increased by a nominal amount of up to €770,000, subdivided into 770,000 no par value bearer shares. This is a conditional capital stock increase which will only take place to the extent that the holders of stock options issued in accordance with the stockholders’ resolution at the Annual General Meeting on April 13, 1999 actually exercise these options. Options on a total of 431,100 shares had been granted to directors and employees of affiliated companies as balance sheet date. A resolution approved by the Annual General Meeting on August 31, 2000 authorizes Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft to acquire its own shares up to an amount of 10% of the registered share capital. This authorization became effective as from October 1, 2000 and will remain so until March 30, 2002. 4. Capital reserve The following changes had occurred in the capital reserve as at the closing date: € ’000 Status as of January 1, 2001 Transfer from capital stock decrease Status as of December 31, 2001 79,208 417 79,625 | 81| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5. Revenue reserve The revenue reserve consists of reserves of €5,645,000 in the holding company and reserves of €101,000 formed in the subsidiaries during their period of membership of the group. 6. Accruals for pensions and similar obligations Actuarial principles were used to calculate accruals for pensions and assume a 6% return on capital. They relate to pension obligations for a former executive director. 7. Tax accruals Accruals for deferred taxation have been created in the financial statements of Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft and Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft and included without adjustment in the consolidated financial statements. Most of the accruals for deferred taxation have been calculated from the differences between investment income from the partnership subsidiaries and the lower amount of taxable profit on which Deutsche Real Estate AG is assessed. The differences between the amounts shown for investment income from the subsidiaries in the commercial balance sheet and in the tax balance sheet result from the fact that the real estate owned by the subsidiaries is subject to progressive depreciation in the former and straight-line depreciation of 4% per annum in the latter. A Corporation Tax rate of 25% and Solidarity Surcharge rate of 5.5% were used to calculate the amount of the accrual for deferred taxation. 8. Other accruals The main items under “Other accruals” are accounts payable for construction work (€1,506,000), outstanding accounts payable (€1,500,000) and accruals for maintenance (€818,000). | 82| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t 9.

MARKET SEGMENT REPORT The Group can be subdivided into two sectors corresponding to its legal structure: Commercial real estate scheduled for mixed use (retail and office space), Shopping (retail). . . The sale of 94% of the investment in DREAG Objekte Nordenham GmbH & Co. KG by Deutsche Real Estate AG in the year 2000 more or less eliminated the former residential segment, which consequently no longer appears in the market segment report. | 84| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Mixed commercial use Shopping Residential € ’000 € ’000 € ’000 € ’000 Fixed assets 368,238 120,597 0 (previous year: 257,548 115,522 61 114,087 6,897 70,203 6,486 482,325 127,494 327,751 122,008 € ’000 of which shares in affiliated companies 4,898 (previous year: 4,899) of which shares in associated companies 5,220 (previous year: 2,744) of which other financial assets 271 (previous year: 271) Current assets and deferred items (previous year: (previous year: Consolidated accounting Total items Total € ’000 € ’000 488,835 (500) 488,335 373,131 (1,000) 372,131) 0 120,984 (39,714) 81,270 2,733 79,422 (41,397) 38,025) 0 609,819 (40,214) 569,605 2,794 452,553 (42,397) 410,156) Stockholders’ equity 99,217 -914 0 98,303 (1,291) 97,012 (previous year: 104,791 (1,010) 1,570 105,351 (2,577) 102,774) 9,372 1,409 0 10,781 0 10,781 4,465 2,472 493 7,430 0 7,430) 373,736 126,999 0 500,735 (38,923) 461,812 218,493 120,456 732 339,771 (39,819) 299,952) 482,325 127,494 0 609,819 (40,214) 569,605 327,749 122,008 2,795 452,552 (42,396) 410,156) Accruals (previous year: Liabilities and deferred items (previous year: (previous year: | 85| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Sales (previous year: Other income (previous year: Personnel expenses Mixed commercial use Consolidated accounting Total items Shopping Residential € ’000 € ’000 € ’000 € ’000 € ’000 € ’000 22,344 10,104 0 32,448 0 32,448 15,214 9,266 0 24,480 0 24,480) 14,632 5 0 14,637 1 14,638 6,115 581 1,773 8,469 (2) 8,467) Total 2,475 0 0 2,475 0 2,475 (previous year: 1,654 0 0 1,654 0 1,654) Depreciation 4,322 1,140 0 5,462 0 5,462 (previous year: 1,536 1,839 0 3,375 0 3,375) 13,990 1,733 0 15,723 0 15,723 8,159 2,861 21 11,041 (3) 11,038) 1,169 0 0 1,169 (791) 378 2,561 0 0 2,561 (2,252) 309) Other expenses (previous year: Income from investments (previous year: Income from associated companies 26 0 0 26 0 26 1,149 0 0 1,149 0 1,149) 2,771 317 0 3,088 (1,930) 1,158 2,261 178 6 2,445 (1,760) 685) 550 0 0 550 0 550 0 0 0 0 0 0) 16,538 6,474 0 23,012 (1,930) 21,082 (previous year: 11,054 5,919 30 17,003 (1,760) 15,243) Profit on ordinary activities 3,067 1,079 0 4,146 (790) 3,356 3,897 (594) 1,728 6,031 (2,251) 3,780) 1,806 424 0 2,230 0 2,230 1,584 542 486 2,612 (675) 1,937) (previous year: Interest income (previous year: Depreciation of financial assets (previous year: Interest charges (previous year: Taxation (previous year: Consolidated profit (loss) for the year (previous year: 1,261 655 0 1,916 (790) 1,126 3,313 (1,136) 1,242 3,419 (1,576) 1,843) Investments during fiscal year 2001 totaled €170,287,000 in the mixed use segment and €6,266,000 in the shopping sector. | 86| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t VIII.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS The corporation signed undertakings to the Bayerische Landesbank of Munich on December 21, 1999 relating to the granting of loans totaling €76,693,000 to the wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft for the acquisition of the Stinnes DIY markets. The corporation and Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft are liable jointly and severally to the Bayerische Landesbank and gave the following undertakings to the bank which remain valid for the period during which the loans remain outstanding . . to provide the debtor companies with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the loan agreements at all times; to compensate the bank in full for any arrears outstanding at the end of any year and for losses incurred through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency. The corporation has issued letters of comfort in the nominal amounts of the loans granted to the banks which have granted loans for financing the individual properties. The value of these outstanding loans totaled €115,806,000 as of December 31, 2001. Other financial obligations arise from an interest swap agreement signed on July 1, 1999 under which the corporation undertook to pay interest at a rate of 4.93% per annum during the period from December 1, 1999 to December 1, 2004 on an amount declining successively from €61,355,000 on December 1, 1999 to €53,031,000 on December 1, 2004. In return, the corporation receives interest on the relevant amount at the 1-month EURIBOR rate plus 0.5%. This agreement serves as a hedge against the interest risk on the loans granted to the subsidiaries of Deutsche Shopping Aktiengesellschaft. The corporation has also given the following undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to a loan granted to DREAG Objekt Neu-Isenburg II GmbH & Co. KG of Hamburg: | 88| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft hereby gives an undertaking to the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg relating to loans granted to the debtor company by DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank . . . not to change, cancel or withdraw its interest in the debtor company or take action to liquidate the debtor company without the prior written consent of the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg; to provide the debtor company with sufficient funds to enable them to meet their obligations under the loan agreements at all times; to compensate the bank in full for any arrears outstanding at the end of any year and for losses incurred through liquidation of the debtor companies including any losses incurred as a result of their insolvency during the period in which the loans remain outstanding. The undertakings given by Deutsche Real Estate Aktiengesellschaft of Bremerhaven will remain unchanged for the duration of any subsequent extensions of the loans granted to the debtor company by the DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral Genossenschaftsbank of Hamburg even if consent to the extension of the loan has not been received on the date when the loan agreement expires.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and group management report in accordance with German Commercial Law is the responsibility of the Corporation’s legal representatives. Our responsibility is to express an opinion, based on our audit, on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Section 317 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and in compliance with the generally accepted German standards for the audit of financial statements issued by the German Institute of Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer, IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit in such a way as to obtain reasonable assurance that inaccuracies and violations are recognized which significantly affect the presentation of the net worth, financial position and results of operations as conveyed by the consolidated financial statements, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and by the group management report. The scope of the audit was planned taking into account our understanding of business operations, the Corporation’s economic and legal environment, and any potential errors anticipated. In the course of the audit, the effectiveness of the system of internal accounting controls was assessed, and the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report were verified, mainly on a test basis. The audit also includes assessment of the financial statements of the companies to be included in the consolidation, determination of the companies to be included in the consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and of the significant estimates made by the legal representatives as well as evaluation of the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit gave no cause for reservations. | 92| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present a true and fair view of the group’s net worth, financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In all material respects the group management report correctly and accurately presents the situation of the group and the risks to its future development. Hamburg, March 4, 2002 KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Bagehorn Auditor Gajewski Auditor | 93| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t SUPERVISORY BOARD REPORT Further good progress was made in Deutsche Real Estate AG’s development as a real estate investment corporation practising active asset and portfolio management. The corporation’s market position has improved. The objectives that the corporation set itself have all been attained. The real estate portfolio managed by Deutsche Real Estate AG at the end of fiscal year 2001 was valued at just under €1 billion. It is planned to continue enlargement of the portfolio at the same rate with the objective of reaching dimensions similar to those of open-ended real estate investment funds. The Supervisory Board has borne this strategic objective in mind in the performance of its legal and statutory responsibilities during fiscal year 2001and has advised the Management Board and supervised its activities accordingly. The members of the Supervisory Board have been kept regularly informed by the Management Board, both verbally and in written reports, of the general business situation and of important individual events and have, after due discussion with the Management Board, approved all necessary resolutions for the corporation’s further development. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board has been in regular contact with the Management Board. Four Supervisory Board meetings were held: on March 1, May 17, September 10 and December 3, 2001 respectively. At these meetings the Supervisory Board discussed the financial situation and business activities of Deutsche Real Estate AG and its subsidiaries, their general business progress and planned business policy on matters ranging from investment and acquisition projects to the corporation’s strategic development. It received from the Management Board in the form of written quarterly reports and verbal reports at the board meetings details of real estate investments and acquisitions and of the financing arranged for these. The most important single subjects discussed in this connection related to the acquisition of an undeveloped site on which it is planned to construct an office building, and the acquisition of shares in four real estate companies in a package deal involving a logistics center and three office complexes, all located in Berlin. The Supervisory Board formed a Real Estate Committee at its meeting in September 2001. No other committees have been formed. Resolutions were approved at the Supervisory Board meetings or, in urgent cases, by written procedures on all business transactions requiring the consent of the Supervisory Board or the Real Estate Committee, either by law or under the Articles of Incorporation. | 94| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t Both the holding company’s and the consolidated financial statements as well as the management report of the holding company and the group as at December 31, 2001 have been audited by KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft of Hamburg with reference to the corporation’s general accounts. The auditors have issued their report without reservations. All documents relating to the financial statements including the Management Board’s report and recommendation on appropriation of profit and the auditors’ report for fiscal year 2001 were submitted to the Supervisory Board for detailed examination prior to the board meeting on March 5, 2002. These were discussed with the Management Board in the auditor’s presence at this meeting. The Supervisory Board noted the results of the audit with approval and recorded that its own examination of the documents had given rise to no objections. The Supervisory Board approved and adopted the financial statements for fiscal year 2001 compiled by the Management Board for Deutsche Real Estate AG. The Supervisory Board concurs with the Management Board’s proposal for appropriation of the profit for the year. In compliance with Section 312 of the German Corporation Act (AktG) the Management Board has prepared a report on its relations with affiliated companies and has included the mandatory final statement in its management report. The auditor, KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft of Hamburg, has examined this report and issued the following certificate: “We have duly examined and assessed the report and hereby certify that: (1) the information contained therein is correct, (2) the payments made by the corporation in the transactions listed therein were not unduly high.” On completion of its examination, the Supervisory Board hereby confirms that it has no objections to the statement on relations with affiliated companies made by the Management Board at the end of its report. | 95| D E U T S C H E R E A L E S T A T E A kt i e n g e s e l l s c h a f t SUPERVISORY BOARD REPORT The acquisition of AGIV by the parent company HBAG Real Estate AG has led to some changes in the governing bodies of Deutsche Real Estate AG. Dr. Günter Rexrodt resigned his chairmanship and Dr. Gerhard Niesslein his membership of the Supervisory Board effective June 30, 2001. Dr. Rexrodt has been appointed Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AGIV AG. Dr. Rainer Behne resigned his chairmanship of the Management Board of Deutsche Real Estate AG, also effective June 30, 2001. Dr. Behne and Dr. Wolf Klinz were appointed members of the Deutsche Real Estate AG Supervisory Board by a resolution of the Bremerhaven District Court dated July 26, 2001. The Supervisory Board elected Dr. Rainer Behne as its new Chairman in a written resolution circulated to all members. The corporation acquired the services of Marcus Hientzsch as a new member of the Management Board effective August 22, 2001. Thomas Schwerdtfeger resigned his Management Board directorship effective November 1, 2001. Deutsche Real Estate AG’s head office was transferred from Hamburg to Berlin in August 2001. The good results achieved during fiscal year 2001, involving a high level of portfolio investment and an increase in profit for the year, were a joint effort. The Supervisory Board would like to express its thanks to the members of the Deutsche Real Estate AG Management Board and also to the management and staff of Deutsche Real Estate Service GmbH & Co. KG for their dedicated hard work.
