Compared to the same period in the previous Financial Year 2008/2009, fourth
quarter consolidated sales (amounting to EUR6.1m) were down 6%.

(1) Consolidated sales encompass gross rental income as stated in IFRS financial
statements + service charges invoiced to the tenants

(2) EPRA Net Asset Value is determined by excluding the net mark to market
adjustment to the value of financial instruments which are economically
effective from reported Fully diluted liquidation Net Asset Value calculation

Consolidated sales for the 2009-2010 Financial Year totalled EUR26.2m out of
which gross rental income amounted to EUR24.3m. Sales declined by 6% compared to
the previous year, due to the decrease in rents on the Jatte 1 and Magellan
buildings granted on the second half of FY 2008/2009.

Portfolio

As of 31 March 2010, the gross open market value of the Company's investment
property portfolio as estimated by BNP Paribas Real Estate was EUR325m,
representing an increase of 3.4% over the 12 months period. After taking into
account realized capital expenditures and IFRS adjustment for lease incentives,
the growth of the portfolio net value is 2.2%.

On an annualised basis, rents totalled EUR23.0m (-6% over the 12 months period)
and the gross yield of the portfolio was 7.1%. As of 31 March 2010, the
Company's physical occupancy rate was 94.3%, compared to 98.9% 6 months ago.

In terms of net asset value, considering the impact of operating earnings,
together with the impact of the change in market value, cash-flow hedge swaps
revaluations and share premium reserves distribution, Züblin Immobilière
France expects reported fully diluted liquidation NAV per share to be at
EUR6.95, representing an increase of 15% over the 12 months period. EPRA NAV per
share is expected to be at EUR8.36 (EUR7.21 as of 31 March 2009), representing
an increase of 16% over the 12 months period.

Result and cash flow per share

The net increase in market value of the investment property reported in the
profit and loss statement for the Financial Year 2009/2010 should be EUR6.5m
(representing a +2.2% increase on investment property portfolio net open market
value as of 31 March 2009).
Operationally, due to the decrease in rents for the Jatte 1 and Magellan
buildings, operating cash flow decreased. Fully diluted operating cash flow per
share for the Financial Year 2009/2010 is expected to be of EUR0.89,
representing a decline of 14.3% compared with the previous year.

Audited and final full=year results will be released on 19 May 2010.
