Vivacon (Buy) - Remarkable quiet in recent weeks

- VIVACON has recently confirmed its outlook for 2008 with net profit of
EUR60m. However, markets are sceptical if the company can close a third
securitization of ground leases as indicated. While we regard a transaction
still as possible but also as essential we have lowered our earnings forecast
for 2009 and 2010 leading to a lower target price of EUR11.00. We reiterate
the Buy rating.

- The last quarter has always been the most active for VIVACON also in
previous years. We think that for this year markets' expectations are
extremely high and VIVACON has to deliver in terms of acquisition volumes of
ground lease portfolios as well as closing a securitization of ground leases.
Both is essential to strengthen markets' confidence in the company's business
model which is questioned in particular in current markets' environment.

- For the retail business with the development of high-end apartments we have
lowered our assumptions by 10% on average. Also portfolio trading should come
down which is in-line with VIVACON's new focus on the acquisition of direct
ground lease portfolios. Our assumptions for property management remains
unchanged. All in all we expect that net profit in 2009 will come down by 11%
and by 5% in 2010.

- Today the stock is trading at its 52W-Low which is not justified in our
view. VIVACON's guidance policy has been reliable and the company has
delivered. It has to be admitted that times have changed but at current levels
the stock is trading at 0.3x book value. Keep in mind that the properties are
accounted at cost! We would recommend to buy ahead of 9M-results (13 Nov) and
see significant upside for the stock. With EUR11.00 as new target price due to
earnings downgrade we keep the Buy rating.
