Dick Kingston, Chairman of Dawnay, Day Sirius Limited, said:
'We have made good progress since our Admission to AIM in May, acquiring 27
sites and building a strong operational platform to successfully transform large
mixed used sites into attractive flexible workspaces. The global financial
environment has reduced the number of potential purchasers for these types of
properties, creating opportunities for us to acquire new sites at attractive
yields. As a consequence, the Company is well positioned to continue to build a
substantial property portfolio and a market leading business in flexible
workspace in Germany.'

Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to announce the Company's first set of results since a successful
admission to AIM in May 2007 when we raised gross proceeds of €327.8 million. We
have made good progress in this first period as a public company. Apart from
completing the acquisition of the initial portfolio of 20 sites, a further six
properties were acquired during the period for a total consideration of €124.6
million with a net initial yield of 7.5%. In addition, a further acquisition was
completed for €10.6 million in October. The business plan is on track and the
Asset Manager is rapidly developing a strong operating platform with 68 staff
now in place. The Asset Manager continues to actively recruit in order to
support the expanding business which currently consists of 27 business parks
with a lettable area of circa 700,000 sqm.
Acquisition and conversion of large mixed use commercial real estate into
attractive flexible workspaces requires a highly specific range of skills. As a
result, we are one of the only property companies operating within this
marketplace on a nationwide level in Germany. The current turbulent conditions
in the credit markets have further reduced the already limited competition for
potential acquisitions. We have in place a healthy pipeline of potential
opportunities in excess of €290 million at attractive yields.
Results
Gross rental income for the period was €6.8 million. Operating profit, excluding
property revaluation, was €3.9 million. It is important to note that the Company
only began trading in May and the properties have been acquired throughout the
period under review. As at 30 September 2007, the portfolio had an annualised
gross rent roll of €25.7 million. The portfolio's total lettable area of circa
700,000 sqm is currently 73% occupied, creating an estimated rental value on the
vacant space of circa €9 million.
A revaluation deficit of €2.7 million, due to the acquisition costs and capital
expenditure, reduced profit after tax to €1.5 million. The adjusted profit after
tax, which excludes revaluation deficit and deferred tax, was €4.8 million.
EPS adjusted on the same basis was 1.48c.
Revaluation and Net Asset Value
The portfolio has been valued by DTZ Zadelhoff Tie Leung GmbH as at 30 September
2007 at €332.7 million, slightly down on the corresponding purchase price of
€335.4 million which includes the costs of acquisitions and capital expenditure.
Excluding these costs, the corresponding revaluation surplus was €8.0 million,
an uplift of 2.4%.
The adjusted net asset value per share is currently €0.97 per share.
Financing
As at 30 September 2007, the Company's borrowings totalled €47.0 million,
secured on 11 properties. The weighted average interest rate on these facilities
is 5.18%. Since the end of the period the Company has completed a further draw
down of €76 million against 7 properties under the ABN AMRO Bank facility on
similar terms as agreed on the original facility. We are confident of obtaining
the necessary bank financing for the acquisitions to date as well as new
acquisitions going forward. The current interest cover of the 18 properties that
have been financed is 1.6 times.
After taking into account its cash position, the net debt of the Group as at 30
September 2007 was €4.5 million.
The Company has existing authorisation to purchase up to 14.99% of its issued
ordinary shares. The Board may choose to exercise its power to purchase the
Company's shares and will only do so opportunistically and in the best interests
of the shareholders. Any shares purchased pursuant to the authorisation will be
held in treasury.
Dividend
Our dividend strategy is to distribute approximately 60-80% of the annual
distributable profit pool via dividend payments on an interim and final basis. I
am therefore pleased to announce a maiden interim dividend of 1.0c per share.
The dividend will be paid on 11 January 2008 to shareholders on the register as
at 14 December 2007. The ex-dividend date will be 12 December 2007.
Asset Management
Dawnay, Day Sirius Real Estate Asset Management Limited (the 'Asset Manager')
has expanded its team in Germany and now employs 68 people, compared to 27 at
the time of IPO, all of whom are dedicated to the management of our growing
portfolio.
During the period the 'Sirius Facilities' branding had been completed on 15 of
the 23 core sites with the remaining eight to be completed before the financial
year end. In addition to the branding, the transformation process had commenced
at many sites which typically involves sub dividing the property into good
quality flexible workspace, installing an on-site management team and providing
complementary facilities such as a cafe (LB2 cafes) and health club. It also
includes refurbishment of the vacant space to bring it into a lettable
condition. Demand for the vacant space remains high and we are resourced to take
full advantage of this. Rents start at a low base, ranging from €2 to €8 per sq
m, with the average rent being €3.9 per sq m, enabling the Company to achieve
significant rental growth potential through the Sirius branding and
transformation. In addition, development plans on the surplus land are in
progress and construction work will commence on two sites imminently.
We are very pleased with the progress on the transformation of the acquired
sites and the significant value added opportunities from the new acquisitions.
Further Progress and Outlook
Since the period end, we have completed the purchase of another property,
notarised another and expect to notarise a further two others before the end of
the calendar year. This will bring the total value of the portfolio to around
€371 million, which is just under half of the €750 million target to be achieved
within 18 months of IPO.
As already mentioned the current market conditions are positive for the Company.
Competition for acquisitions is further decreasing as there are fewer buyers of
assets that require active management in the market. We continue to be highly
selective on future acquisitions to ensure that the quality of the portfolio is
not compromised.
The German economy and SME sector both remain buoyant and consequently the
demand for flexible workspace remains strong. In 2006, more than 42% of SMEs
planned new investments, which was the fourth successive year of growth, and
with unemployment falling from 12% in 2005 to 8.7% in October 2007, the German
government forecasts economic growth of 2.4% in 2007 and 2.0% in 2008.
We believe that we are in an excellent position to exploit the current
opportunities and that our business model will add significant value through
rebranding and transformation. The Board is confident that the business is on
track to deliver on the strategy set out at flotation and looks forward to
reporting on further progress in the future.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO DAWNAY DAY SIRIUS LIMITED
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the interim report for 30 September 2007 which comprises the
consolidated income statement, consolidated balance sheet, consolidated
statement of changes in equity, consolidated cash flow statement and the related
explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim
report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial
statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our
engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company
those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the
directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly report in
accordance with the AIM Rules.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The condensed set of
financial statements included in this half-yearly report has been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs as adopted
by the EU.
The next annual financial statements of the group will be prepared in accordance
with IFRSs as adopted by the EU.
The accounting policies that have been adopted in preparing the condensed set of
financial statements are consistent with those that the directors currently
intend to use in the next annual financial statements. There is, however, a
possibility that the directors may determine that some changes to these policies
are necessary when preparing the full annual financial statements for the first
time in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an
audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim report for the
period ended 30 September 2007 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs as adopted
by the EU and the AIM Rules

Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Dawnay, Day Sirius Limited (the 'Company') is a company incorporated and
domiciled in Guernsey whose shares are publicly traded on AIM.
The consolidated financial statements of Dawnay, Day Sirius Limited comprise the
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group').
The principal activity of the Group is investment in and development of
commercial property to provide flexible workspace in Germany.
The Company acts as the investment holding company of the Group.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost
basis, except for investment properties that have been measured at fair value.
The condensed financial statements are presented in Euros, the functional
currency of the Group and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€'000)
except when otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for use in
European Union (IFRS), IFRIC interpretations, and also to comply with the
Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994.
The period from incorporation on 20 February 2007 to 30 September 2007 is the
first period of the Group's operation, and therefore no comparatives are
presented.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported values of assets and liabilities, income
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The key estimates and assumptions relate to the property valuations applied by
the Group's property valuers.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The condensed financial statements comprise the financial statements of Dawnay,
Day Sirius Ltd and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2007. The financial
statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the
parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. They are consolidated under
the acquisition method from the date the Group obtains control, and
de-recognised when control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions,
income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group
transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full on
consolidation.
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not
held by the Group and are presented separately in the income statement and
within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent
shareholders' equity.
(c) Acquisitions
Acquisitions of corporate interests in property are accounted for on
consolidation as if the Group had acquired the underlying property asset
directly. Accordingly no goodwill arises on such acquisitions as any difference
between the fair values of the assets acquired and the acquisition consideration
are allocated to the investment property asset, which is subject to subsequent
revaluation under IAS 40, Investment Property, to its market value.
(d) Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the balance date are translated at the
foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising
on translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are
stated at fair value are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at the
dates the fair value was determined.
(e) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Rental Income
Rental income represents amounts receivable in respect of property operating
leases earned in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes. The
income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant
lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern
in which the benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest
method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount
of the financial asset).
Service charges
The Directors consider that, in respect of amounts received in respect of
service charges, the Group is acting as an agent rather than principal and
consequently such income is not treated as revenue, rather it is set off against
the costs to which such income relates.
(f) Leases
Under operating leases, properties or part of properties leased to tenants are
accounted for as investment properties.
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
(g) Taxation
Current income tax
The company has obtained exempt company status in Guernsey under the terms of
the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) Ordinance, 1989. The Directors intend to contact
the Company's affairs so that they remain eligible for exemption. Certain
subsidiary undertakings are subject to foreign taxes in respect of foreign
source income.
Deferred taxation
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary
differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance
sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
income tax asset to be utilised.
The income tax liability resulting from the sale of a property asset will not
arise if the shares of the company owning the asset is sold rather than asset
itself.
Management has decided to be prudent and provide for deferred income tax on all
increases in property values subsequent to acquisition by the company. Deferred
income tax liabilities for the increase in value of the initial portfolio prior
to acquisition have not been recorded in these accounts.
(h) Investment Properties
Freehold property held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both
is classified as investment property in accordance with IAS 40, Investment
Property.
The properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.
Additions include costs of a capital nature provided the recognition criteria
are met.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are revalued to fair
value at each reporting date by professional valuers. Gains or losses arising
from changes in the fair value values of investment properties are included in
the income statement in the period in which they arise.
In accordance with the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40, no
depreciation is provided.
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
(i) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they
are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment.
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment. The
estimated useful lives are as follows
- Plant and equipment 4 years
- Fixtures and fittings 4 years
(j) Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group's assets are reviewed at each balance sheet
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its
cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised in the income statement.
Calculation of the recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of assets is greater of their net selling price and value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flowsare discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the
recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs.
(k) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently
measured at cost less provision for impairment where it is established there is
objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due.
The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying
amount and the present values of estimated future cash flows. The movement in
provision is recorded in the income statement.
(l) Trade Payables
Trade payables are stated at cost.
(m) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present
legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable
that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the
expected, risk adjusted, future cash flows at a pre-tax risk-free rate.
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
(n) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held with banks and short-term deposits
with maturities of less than 3 months.
(o) Bank borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans are initially recorded at the fair value, net of
direct issue costs.
After initial recognition, the loans are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the
income statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process.
(p) Equity Instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received,
net of related issue costs.
3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
No segmental reporting is included in the accounts as the Group only holds
investment properties in Germany and as such only has one geographical segment
which is Germany and one business segment which is investment in commercial
property.
