Jersey, December 19, 2006. Meinl European Land showed once again a strong
performance in the first nine months of 2006. Revenues doubled compared to the
same period in 2005 and reached EUR 94.2m. Operating profit (EBIT) also showed
vigorous growth in the period from January until September 2006 and reached EUR
88.2 m after EUR 62.9m in 2005. After tax profits grew from EUR 57.1m to EUR
93m. This represents an increase of approximately 63%.

Portfolio including development projects of EUR 3.7bn

The acceleration of results is mostly driven by the newly acquired properties
and is also reflected in the increasing size of the portfolio. At current, Meinl
European Land’s property portfolio consists of 183 properties, which represent a
total value of approximately EUR 3.7bn. This amount includes operating property
investments of EUR 1.2bn as of September 20, 2006 and committed projects with a
total investment value of EUR 2.5bn, which will be completed during the
following years. As of September 30, 2005 the portfolio including commitments
amounted to EUR 1.6bn.

Annual rental income for the whole portfolio after completion of the development
projects, is estimated at EUR 370m to EUR 390m. For the whole of financial 2006,
Meinl European Land is expecting to post total rental income amounting to
approximately EUR 95m.

Shopping centre in Kazan successfully opened

On December 14, 2006 Meinl European Land successfully opened a shopping centre
in Kazan, Russia. The shopping centre has been embraced by the population of the
city of a million inhabitants from the first day. Anchor tenant is Metro Group
with a "Real" hypermarket. A further 80 tenants in the gallery complete the
tenant mix of the 50,000 sqm large shopping centre. Comparing the investment
costs with today’s market yield for a comparable shopping centre in the region
has let to an increase in value of more than 30% for this project.

First project in Bulgaria - Meinl European Land now active in 11 countries

Meinl European Land has just acquired its first project in Bulgaria. Following
this new strategic regional extension, Meinl European Land now operates in 11
markets. The investment is a shopping centre in prime location in Sofia with
direct access to the city ring and the highway leading to the south. The opening
of the shopping centre with a total investment value of EUR 185m is scheduled
for 2009. With a total letable area of 80,000sqm the centre also belongs to the
largest currently planned shopping centres in the city.

Meinl European Land also strengthens its activities in neighbouring Romania: The
Company owns in central location of Bucharest a land reserve of around
150,000sqm, which has been purchased in the course of an acquisition in 2004. On
this land plot, where a DIY-market is already operating, Meinl European Land
will now develop a large retail park. As the DIY-market intends to increase its
footprint and other companies have expressed their interest in renting space in
the centre as well, the first development stage shall be completed by next year.

Furthermore, Meinl European Land has continued its expansion in Russia and
acquired in Omsk a plot of land totalling 15 ha. As the permits are in place the
Company may start with the development of a 100,000sqm large shopping centre
during next year. The investment costs for the centre will amount to
approximately EUR 120m and the expected yield is 17%.

Value of development projects rises by EUR 300m

Lately, Meinl European Land has increasingly focused on development projects, as
especially in the less mature markets only few completed properties exist, that
match the company’s high specifications. Furthermore, yields for developments
are significantly higher than current market yields on comparable operating
properties. This leads to a considerable potential for capital appreciation,
which Meinl European Land can realise once the projects are completed. Based on
current market yields, the market value of completed developments exceeds the
expected investment costs by roughly EUR 300m. Assuming further yield
compression in Eastern Europe, there is scope for this upside potential to
further increase by the time projects are completed.

Increase in net asset value per share

Net asset value per share (NAV) at September 30, 2006 was EUR 14.54. Including
the estimated upside on development projects as mentioned above NAV increases to
EUR 16.20 per share. The stock market price at September 30, 2006 was EUR 17.18,
only 6% higher than NAV. Significant further value of the company lies in the
project pipeline and the management’s ability to source new deals.

Project pipeline of around EUR 2.2bn

A project pipeline of approximately EUR 2.2bn means that further growth is
assured. More than one third of these projects which are still under evaluation,
have been already approved by the board of Meinl European Land. These projects
are expected to be signed in the near future.
