The 2006 direct result amounted to € 113.3 million, which is € 3.2 million lower than in 2005. The direct result is the result that the company has realised from lettings after deduction of costs. In 2006, Wereldhave sold more properties than it acquired. The decrease of rental income due to these net disposals was set off to a significant extent by an increase in rents and a 1.3% fall in the vacancy rate, which jointly amounted to € 2.5 million. On balance, net rental income fell by € 0.6 million. Due to higher interest rates, interest costs increased by € 1.3 million. General costs rose by € 1.0 million compared to 2005. This increase relates to the costs of IFRS implementation and the one-off release of provisions in 2005 due to IFRS.
