Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
The unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of AIG International Real Estate GmbH & Co. KGaA and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Group") as of December 31, 2004 reached an all-time high of EUR 30.42 per share, an increase in NAV of EUR 1.86 per share or 6.5% from November 30, 2004. NAV increased by 15% during 2004 and is now above the initial offering price for the Companys shares of EUR 29.
Decembers increase in NAV was largely driven by the increased valuation of the Groups Japanese investments, particularly Forest Green and Shinanen Canalside. These valuations are based on independent appraisals carried out in November and are supported by the sale price for the Groups Aozora investment in November. Forest Green and Shinanen Canalside have benefited from substantial increases in occupancy levels, leading to an increase in the value of the Groups investments in these two properties by a combined EUR 6.4 million.
In addition, the valuation of the real estate held by the Groups Auto Priemyselny Park s.r.o. (APP) subsidiary in Slovakia increased by EUR 1.1 million to EUR 58.4 million. This valuation was derived by an independent appraisal carried out in November and is based on increased rental income and net operating income at the property. In addition to this increased valuation, which will be booked as income in accordance with IFRS, APP generated EUR 4.8 million in net income for the Groups consolidated net income in 2004. The total income generated of EUR 5.9 million represents a one-year yield of 25% on the Groups EUR 23.7 million investment in APP.
The increase in NAV came despite a further drop by the US dollar and the Japanese yen of about 2% each against the euro during December. The year-end exchange rates used by the Group were 1.3621 and 139.65 respectively for the USD and JPY. The substantial recovery of the USD and JPY in January of this year should further strengthen the Groups NAV as of January 31, 2005.
During December, the Group received additional distributions from its Terrabrook investment in the US of approximately TUSD 967. These distributions were treated as return of capital. We expect to receive quarterly distributions from this investment during 2005, with increasing amounts characterized as capital gains.
The Group made three new investments in December: TUSD 333 in Dulaney Valley Apartments, a 900 unit residential development in Towson, Maryland, USA; TUSD 67 as an initial investment in 418 West 25th Street, the conversion of an industrial building in the Chelsea section of New York City, USA, into condominiums; and an initial investment of TEUR 6 in the development of an office building in Moscow, Russia. More details on the new investments will be included in the Groups fourth quarter report, which will be released in February. During December, the Group also made small additional investments in St Johns Plantation (Jacksonville, Florida, USA), Lomas de Arena (Palm Desert, California, USA) and Neptune Marina (Marina del Rey, California, USA).
