Fair value hierarchy 
 
For financial assets or liabilities measured at amortised cost and whose
carrying value is a reasonable approximation to fair value there is no
requirement to analyse their value in the fair value hierarchy. 
 
The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value into a
fair value hierarchy based on the valuation technique used to determine fair
value: 
 
Level 1:     quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities; 
 
Level 2:     inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and 
 
Level 3:     inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The interest rate swap contract is reset on a quarterly basis. The Company
will settle the difference between the fixed and floating interest rates on a
net basis. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes.
Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future
cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market
interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. The average
interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the reporting
period. The interest rate swap is measured at fair value with changes
recognised in profit or loss.

S.C.A. SICAV-SIF both of which are advised by Wessel Hamman, a Non-executive
Director of the Company. The Loan Notes were issued at par and carried a

On 21 April 2017, the Group notarised the sale of a mature asset located in
Kiel for E7.0 million that was originally acquired in 2007. The sale is at an
EPRA net operating yield of 7.4%. The asset is a multi-let mixed-use business
park generating E0.56 million of net operating income with occupancy of 92%
over a net lettable area of around 10,000sqm. 
 
On 30 April 2017, the Group completed the sale of the site at Munich Rupert
Mayer Strasse for E85.0 million, a business park of around 72,000sqm of office
and warehouse space which was originally acquired in 2008. The sale has been
structured as a sale and leaseback with a lease of six years and a rent
payable of c. E5.0 million per annum for the first five years and then in the
final year at a cost equal to the net operating income of the site. The
leaseback enables the Group to retain the difference between the rent it pays
