CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
30 JUNE 2010
Directors` commentary
1 Distributable earnings
The Group has achieved consolidated distributable earnings of 8.35 EUR cents
per share and, accordingly, the Board declared an interim dividend of 8.35 EUR
cents per share in respect of the six month period ended 30 June 2010. This
strong performance represents a 9.0% increase over the 7.66 EUR cents per
share distributed for the comparable prior period.
2 Internalisation
During the period the Company internalised its investment advisor through the
acquisition of all of the issued shares of NEPI Investment Management Limited
("NEPM"). The net purchase price of EUR5 881 943 was accounted for as an
intangible asset in the consolidated statement of financial position. The
Board expects that the management of the Group`s property portfolio going
forward will be achieved more efficiently and cost effectively with the
management team of NEPM being employed and incentivised directly by the
Company. The internalisation is expected to result in better returns to NEPI
shareholders and enhanced distributable earnings per share.
3 JSE Main Board listing
On 4 August 2010 the Company completed the transfer of its listing from the
Alternative Exchange ("AltX") of the JSE Limited ("JSE") to the Main Board of
the JSE in South Africa, which combined with the wider placement of shares
completed during the period is expected to further extend the shareholder base
and further improve liquidity in the trading of the Company`s shares.
The Company currently also holds a listing on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange.
4 Property acquisitions and development
The Group continued expanding its retail asset base in Romania through the
acquisition of a retail park located in Pitesti, Romania ("Retail Park Auchan
Pitesti") leased to Auchan and Bricostore.
The Company continues to pursue further investment opportunities in line with
its investment strategy. The Group is also in discussions for the acquisition
of a small but well located logistics facility in Bucharest. In view of
existing market opportunities and the Group`s growing foothold in Romania, the
Group has also pursued development opportunities through joint ventures with
strong partners. One of these opportunities led to an agreement in relation to
the development of a shopping centre in Bucharest. This project is currently
in due diligence.
5 Debt
In June 2010 the Group successfully refinanced a loan facility in relation to
Retail Park Auchan Pitesti with a more favorable new loan facility from
Unicredit Bank and Banca Romaneasca. The new loan facility of EUR28 813 000
matures in December 2014 and carries an interest rate of 1 month Euribor plus
4.0%. Further, the Group took advantage of the low interest rate environment
and capped the Euribor at 2.25% in relation to the new loan facility and
reduced the cap strike levels to 2.25% on all the other outstanding variable
interest rate loans, while the caps in relation to the NEPI Bucharest One and
NEPI Bucharest Two loans were extended up to December 2014 which is beyond the
respective loan facilities` maturities.
6 Prospects
Despite continued macroeconomic weakness in Romania, NEPI`s property portfolio
continues to perform well supported by the predominance of long-term leases
and tenants with strong corporate covenants. The Company established a solid
property portfolio and investment pipeline in Romania and is well positioned
to continue expanding its retail asset base in Romania.
