Administrative expenses before other income increased by kCHF 272, reflecting on one hand higher project-related advisory expenses (+kCHF 96) for potential real estate acquisitions (sunk deal costs). On the other hand the adaption and modernization of website and online reports to more advanced technical requirements led to an increase in other advisory services and investor relations expenses of kCHF 135, while the costs for legal and tax advisory servcies rose by the same amount. These expenses mainly result from tax clarifications in connection with property gains taxes.

The reported income of kCHF 707 mainly results from a surplus of an escrow account, which was set up in connection with the sale of a property in the Netherlands for construction measures still to be carried out. Construction work has now largely been completed.
