MA NAGEMENT RE PORTStrategy and development of real estate activitiesBREEVAST <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>2004</strong>14In accordance with that stipulated in Article 26 of the Articlesof Association, we herewith present the Annual Report for<strong>2004</strong>, the company’s forty-first business year.STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT OF REALESTATE ACTIVITIESThe company’s real estate activities in the Netherlands,Belgium and North America comprise three strategicsegments, i.e.:1. The development of the existing real estateportfolio, while further improving its quality.Besides acquiring (portfolios of) properties to which valuecan be added, <strong>Breevast</strong> also purchases optimized premises.In this way, an attempt is made to enlarge and renew thereal estate management portfolio. A close eye is kept onthe general quality of a property, including the location,the flow of rent and the type of debtor.2. The maintenance of a revolving real estateportfolio to foster the dynamics of the company.<strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. is interested in the acquisition of large portfoliosof listed real estate funds, either with or without partners.On account of the large transaction volume, such portfolioscan be purchased at a discount. The aim is to retain some ofthe properties for a short period and then to sell them.3. The development of commercial real estate primarilyfor the company’s own portfolio.Higher initial returns are created by means of the developmentof real estate projects under the company’s owndirection. This is possible because <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. employsa very stringent budget discipline and limits risks byensuring that a substantial portion is rented beforeconstruction begins. Furthermore, by also operating inthe development field, market-relevant expertise is retainedwithin the company. After completion, such new and easilymarketable real estate is generally added to the real estatemanagement portfolio.The NetherlandsDuring the year under review, a small number of acquisitionstotaling EUR 50.9 million were made in the Randstadurban conurbation. One acquisition in this respect was thepurchase of the second part of the so-called IBM Campus inZoetermeer, the first part of which was already acquired in2003. In the coming years, this approximately 14-hectare sitewith its existing buildings will be redeveloped with furtheroffices and housing. The former office building on the PrinsesIrenestraat on the Zuidas in Amsterdam in which NautaDutilh was established was also delivered to <strong>Breevast</strong> duringthe financial year. The purchase of these premises was alsoalready agreed in 2003. Business premises in the Westelijkhavengebied in Amsterdam was acquired by means of a saleand lease back transaction with Vendex KBB. Finally, thecompany entered into an unconditional purchase commitmentwith respect to a large-scale distribution complex, alsosituated in the Westelijk havengebied. The purchase of thisproperty will take place at the end of March 2005.The sale of the real estate properties under managementduring the year under review included the furnishing of fivebuildings situated in Weesp, Nieuwegein, Houten, Rotterdamand Raamsdonksveer to a fund related to iOG. Agreementon this sales transaction was already reached in 2003. Therealization of the development and renovation of office andindustrial premises in Eindhoven with a total floor area ofabout 23,000 m2, which commenced in 2003, was successfullycompleted in the first quarter of the year underreview. The premises that were leased for 15 years afterdelivery was disposed of to a firm during the year underreview. In December of the financial year, a retail propertyin Amsterdam Noord was sold and delivered to a fund ofAchmea Vastgoed. The total sales of the properties undermanagement amounted to EUR 49.9 million.Some of the properties from the revolving real estate port foliowere disposed of during the year under review. <strong>Breevast</strong>’sshare in this amounted to approximately EUR 9.7 million.


MANAGEMENT <strong>REPORT</strong>Strategy and development of real estate activitiesBREEVAST <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>2004</strong>15The currently remaining portfolio will be broken up in 2005and the joint venture in which the properties were acquiredwill be dissolved. In 2005, however, the company willcontinue to explore the possibilities of purchasing suchportfolios.The renovation an approximately 7,225 m2 shopping mallin Zoetermeer was started in the year under review, withthe expectation that the mall together with the accompanyingoffices will be delivered in the second half of 2005. Thedevelopment of houses and apartments near to Meppel inthe province of Drente advanced rapidly during the yearunder review with the building of 19 houses, all of whichwere already sold in 2003. Preparations were also made therefor the development of apartments; a start is expected to bemade with these in mid-2005. The realization of sixteen apartmentson Nieuwendijk in the centre of Amsterdam, a stone’sthrow from Dam Square, commenced during the year underreview. Finally, a start was made with the renovation of theoffice villa in Amsterdam Zuid that was acquired in 2003.After completion, the company will occupy part of this propertyfor its own use.BelgiumThe company’s activities in Belgium during the year underreview were focused to a great extent on the ‘Financietoren’,acquired in 2001, and on the Rijksadministratief Centrum(RAC) in Brussels that was also acquired in 2003 from theBelgium Federal government in cooperation with Z.B.G. Thetwo properties have a combined total floor area of approximately350,000 m2. At the beginning of year under review,50% of the holding in the RAC was sold to Dexia Bank andImmobel.Where the ‘Financietoren’ is concerned, the financial yearwas dominated by the preparations for the renovation of thisproperty. The building permit for the renovation of the towersthat was applied for in 2003 was issued in June of the yearunder review. In addition, the main contractor Interbuild, awholly-owned subsidiary of BAM, started in the first few daysof January 2005 with the demolition and renovation activitiesin Brussels. The renovation will take at least three years.After completion in 2008, the towers will accommodate about4,600 civil servants; the towers will then be leased by theBelgian Federal government for a period of 27 years.The project activities are coordinated from the Brussels officeof <strong>Breevast</strong> Belgium N.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of thecompany.The ‘Ninia’ residential and shopping center in Ninove, developedunder the company’s own management, was sold toFortis in <strong>2004</strong>. Together with the sale of a number of propertiesin Belgium and northern France from the existing realestate management portfolio, the transaction value of thesesales was approximately EUR 40.5 million.With respect to the purchase of real estate in Belgium, anumber of historic, partly protected buildings were acquiredin Brussels; a number of these are situated on the famousLouizalaan and in the imposing Notredame aux Neigesdistrict. These properties will be redeveloped and rented outin the coming years.North AmericaIn North America, <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. mainly focuses on creatingadditional added value through the (re)development of realestate for its own portfolio with a completion time of 2 to 5years by means of its 51% interest in Wattson <strong>Breevast</strong>, LLC.In California, the year under review was mainly dominatedby the renovation of the Tanforan Park Shopping Center.This regional mall is centrally situated between the airport,the Bay area and San Francisco. After the BART (Bay AreaRapid Transport) metro line close to the shopping center wascompleted in 2002, the legal action against BART was completedduring the year under review. Following the agreementreached between <strong>Breevast</strong> and its partner at the end of 2003to entirely buy out the partner in the project in <strong>2004</strong>, thistook place during the year under review. On February 8, <strong>2004</strong>,the renovation, which will take 18 months, was symbolicallystarted with the sinking of the first pile. The approximately100,000 m2 shopping mall will open in October 2005.


MANAGEMENT <strong>REPORT</strong>Strategy and development of real estate activitiesIn line with the company’s disinvestment program in NorthAmerica that was initiated in 2003, three properties were soldto third parties during the year under review. In addition,the year saw the signing of a contract of sale for the ParkMcArthur property with delivery taking place in 2005. Thetotal transaction value of these four sales is approximatelyEUR 38 million.A number of projects and portfolios were examined in theUnited States, but this did not lead to any acquisitions duringthe year under review.Geographic distribution of portfolio (including thenon-consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, <strong>2004</strong>)on the basis of fair valuesThe Netherlands 66.7%Belgium 21.6%United States 11.5%Netherlands Antilles 0.2%BREEVAST <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>2004</strong>16CuracaoA number of building lots in Plan Zuurzak on Curacao weresold during the year, but sales are still lagging behind theoriginal prognosis.GENERAL INFORMATIONIn the year under review, <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. purchased real estatewith a value of EUR 68.9 million. The real estate sales hada total value of EUR 128.3 million.

MANAGEMENT <strong>REPORT</strong>Legal action / Result and shareholders’ equityBREEVAST <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>2004</strong>17LEGAL ACTIONDutch Government claimIt was alleged that with the sale of several corporations in1983, <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. and its former partner FGH Bank N.V.should not in fairness have assumed that they were dealingwith a bona fide buyer and should have taken measuresto safeguard the interests of the tax authorities. At the endof 1996, the court in Utrecht established in an interlocutorydecree that the Dutch Government had failed to providesufficient proof for its position in the proceedings that wereinitiated in 1992. The Dutch Government appealed thisdecision to the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam. The judgmentof the court was that <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. and FGH Bank N.V.did not act contrary to any rules of law with the sale in 1983and it rejected the claim of the Dutch Government and theInternal Revenue Service. The Dutch Government and theInternal Revenue Service then appealed the judgment of theCourt of Appeal in Amsterdam. In its ruling on February 1,2002, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands referred thejudgment to the Court of The Hague. The burden of proofin this case thus once again lies with the Dutch Governmentand the Internal Revenue Service.On February 2, 2005, a writ was served on the DutchGovernment and the Internal Revenue Service demandingthat the action be discontinued at both the Court ofThe Hague and the Court in Utrecht, as more than threeyears had elapsed since the last act of procedure. The DutchGovernment and the Internal Revenue Service contest this intheir memorandum of reply of February 17, 2005.RESULT AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITYThe income from investments, particularly from propertiesunder management, decreased slightly in <strong>2004</strong> due toa minor slimming down of the portfolio. As at the balancesheet date, the vacancy rate was 13.1% (2003: 9%) of thetheoretical annual rents, including the empty Apollo officebuilding in Diemen and the office building on the PrinsesIrenestraat, Zuidas, in Amsterdam. Excluding these emptybuildings, the vacancy rate was 5.0% of the theoretical annualrents (2003: 4.5%).The results of the subsidiaries lagged behind expectations.The revolving real estate in a joint venture will be disposed ofentirely in 2005.The net profit before taxation increased by more than 46%from EUR 32.7 million to more than EUR 47.8 million.The adjustment from unrealized to realized changes in valueamounted to more than EUR 18 million. On balance, the netresult for <strong>2004</strong> after taxation fell in comparison to 2003 as aconsequence of a corporate income tax item of approximatelyEUR 21.5 million.The currency translation deficit of EUR 810,000 has beendebited directly from the shareholders’ equity under ‘otherreserves’. Including the result and after incorporation ofthe currency translation result, the shareholders’ equity onDecember 31, <strong>2004</strong> amounts to EUR 315 million(2003: EUR 289.5 million).<strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. acted in good faith when it sold the com paniesin 1983 and has always disputed the claim of the DutchGovernment. <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. is holding the Dutch Governmentliable for any negative consequences from its claim.The outcome of further proceedings continues to be viewedwith confidence by the company.


MANAGEMENT <strong>REPORT</strong>Outlook / Personnel en OrganizationOUTLOOKThe Management continues to strive for an increase in thequality of the real estate portfolio, in part by maintaining agood relationship with tenants, so that the vacancy rates inthe portfolio are kept to a minimum. Furthermore, it keepsa sharp eye on the general and management expenses. Withthese measures, it expects to be able to safeguard the returnon shareholders’ equity. In this connection, the portfolio willbe examined critically with respect to retention and disinvestments.Besides the development of interest rates, close tabsshould also be kept on the quality of tenants, particularlythose in the office segment.BREEVAST <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>2004</strong>19The slight improvement in the economic conditions in theareas of activity of the Netherlands and Belgium that isexpected in 2005 may have repercussions on the developmentof the company’s results. It appears that the economy inthe United States will recover sooner. The Management ismoderately confident about the prospects for 2005.Based on current market forecasts, and barring unforeseencircumstances, Management expects pre-tax earnings for 2005to be in line with those realized in the previous years.PERSONNEL AND ORGANIZATIONThe company averaged a staff of 41 in <strong>2004</strong> (2003: 37).Measured in FTEs, the number of staff at year-end <strong>2004</strong>was 37.5 (2003: 36).

EUR 310 million ofthis amount relates to a joint and several guarantee in favorof Dexia Bank N.V., Dexia Lease Services N.V., Fortis LeaseN.V. and KBC Bank N.V. for the real estate leasing grantedto Financietoren N.V., a non-consolidated subsidiary. <strong>Breevast</strong>B.V. has also issued guarantees for the real estate leasingused to finance the renovation activities in Financietoren.The amount involved increases as the renovation progresses,subject to a maximum of EUR 295 million.

It was alleged that with the saleof several corporations in 1983, <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. and its formerpartner FGH Bank N.V. should not in fairness have assumedthat they were dealing with a bona fide buyer and shouldhave taken measures to safeguard the interests of the taxauthorities. At the end of 1996, the court in Utrechtestablished in an interlocutory decree that the DutchGovernment had failed to provide sufficient proof for itsposition in the proceedings that were initiated in 1992. TheDutch Government appealed this decision to the Court ofAppeal in Amsterdam. The judgment of the court was that<strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. and FGH Bank N.V. did not act contrary to anyrules of law with the sale in 1983 and it rejected the claimof the Dutch Government and the Internal Revenue Service.The Dutch Government and the Internal Revenue Service thenappealed the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam.In its ruling on February 1, 2002, the Supreme Court ofthe Netherlands referred the judgment to the Court of TheHague. The burden of proof in this case thus once again lieswith the Dutch Government and the Internal Revenue Service.On February 2, 2005, a writ was served on the DutchGovernment and the Internal Revenue Service demandingthat the action be discontinued at both the Court of TheHague and the Court in Utrecht, as more than three yearshad elapsed since the last act of procedure. The DutchGovernment and the Internal Revenue Service contest this intheir memorandum of reply of February 17, 2005.<strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. acted in good faith when it sold the com paniesin 1983 and has always disputed the claim of the DutchGovernment. <strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. is holding the Dutch Governmentliable for any negative consequences from its claim.The outcome of further proceedings continues to be viewedwith confidence by the company.<strong>Breevast</strong> B.V. has assumed joint and several liability for debtsresulting from the juridical acts of Wolderwijd I B.V. by virtueof article 2:403 of the Netherlands Civil Code.
