CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31
DECEMBER 2012

DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS
The Group has achieved distributable earnings of 25.95 euro cents per
share for the financial year ended 31 December 2012. This distinctive
financial result is due to continued strong performance in the Group’s
assets, the favourable impact of the acquisition of City Business Centre
in February 2012, additional rental income generated through various re-
developments that were completed towards the end of the prior year and a
settlement with the vendors of Promenada Mall (which gave rise to €7.1
million in non-recurring distributable earnings). Recurring distributable
earnings per share improved by 12.6% compared to the prior year.

DISTRIBUTION
The Board of Directors resolved to limit the 2012 full year distribution
to 23.29 euro cents per share, an improvement of 15% over the 20.25 euro
cents distribution declared in relation to the 2011 financial year.
Accordingly, the Board has declared a final distribution of 12.05 euro
cents per share in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2012.

OPTION TO RECEIVE CAPITAL RETURN
Consistent with the practice introduced in relation to the 2012 half year
distribution and given the ongoing development and acquisition programme,
the Board has resolved to offer shareholders the option to receive the
distribution in relation to the six months ended 31 December 2012 as a
cash distribution or a return of capital by way of an issue of new shares
credited as fully paid up at a ratio of 2.774 new shares for each 100
shares held. A circular that contains details of the election, accompanied
by an announcement on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE (“SENS”),
the Regulatory News Service of the LSE (“RNS”) and the Bucharest Stock
Exchange (“BVB”), will be issued in due course.

RETAINED DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS
The balance of retained distributable earnings as at 31 December 2012,
after the full year distribution in relation to 2012, amounts to €8.2
million (this amount includes distributable earnings carried forward from
prior years). The retained distributable earnings will be considered for
distribution during the 2013 and 2014 financial years as the Group pursues
various property developments. The developments are expected to have a
positive impact on per share distributions, once completed. However,
during the construction period, developments dilute distributable earnings
as interest in relation to property under construction is capitalised at
the Group’s average cost of finance and as cash balances retained to
finance such developments yield low returns.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
Improvement in the volumes of trading in the Company’s shares has been a
priority for a number of years. During 2012, the Company raised €138
million via the issue of ordinary shares. Partly as a result of this, the
shareholder base of the Company expanded to over 3,400 shareholders by the
2012 financial year end (compared to approximately 1,900 shareholders at
the end of the 2011 financial year) and the volumes of daily trade of the
Company’s shares have improved further.

Adjusted Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as at 31 December 2012 is 18.5% higher
compared to the prior year end. Vacancy is on a downward trend; the
vacancy calculated as a portion of available rentable area (excluding the
rentable areas under earn-out arrangements in City Business Centre in
Timisoara) at the 2012 year end is 4.8% compared to 5.3% at the prior year
end and has reduced further since the 2012 year end. Non-recoverable
tenant income amounted to €72,000 in respect of the year ended on 31
December 2012, equivalent to 0.18% of contractual rental income and
expense recoveries for the year.

RETAIL PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS, EXTENSIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS
During the 2012 financial year, the Group made significant progress in
extending its portfolio of retail properties and retail development
pipeline with the opening of Ploiesti Shopping City and the conclusion of
a number of transactions that secure further retail development and
extension opportunities for the 2013 and 2014 financial years. The Group
will benefit from rental income generated in relation to Ploiesti Shopping
City in 2013. In addition, three significant and six smaller retail
developments and/or extension projects have or are expected to commence
construction during the 2013 financial year. NEPI has withdrawn from the
Victoria City Centre development opportunity in Bucharest, Romania,
reported in the 2011 annual report.

Ploiesti Shopping City
The Group finalised and opened the first phase of a regional mall in joint
venture with Carrefour Property on 15 November 2012, in less than
11 months from the start of construction works. On opening day the mall
which comprises 46,000 m2 of Gross Lettable Area (“GLA”) included more
than 75 operational tenants including Altex, Bershka, Carrefour (the
second largest retailer in the world), Douglas, Deichmann, Flanco, H&M,
Intersport, KFC, Leonardo, New Yorker, Office Shoes, Orsay, Paul, Pull and
Bear, Quasi Pronti, Reserved, Segafredo, Sephora, Stradivarius, Takko,
Vodafone, Yves Rocher and Zara. A 12 screen cinema complex (the largest
such complex in Romania outside of the capital city) operated by Cinema
City (the largest cinema operator in central Europe) opened on 5 December
2012. Trading since opening has exceeded expectations. A second phase
development is under consideration.

Brasov Shopping City
During the year, the Group completed the purchase and leaseback of a
retail box (including additional land) from Mobexpert, the leading
Romanian furniture retailer. The acquired properties are adjacent to the
Group’s 2011 re-developed strip mall and the Carrefour hypermarket in
Brasov, Romania, and the acquisition was concluded with the intention to
re-develop the combined properties into a regional mall, in partnership
with Carrefour Property. Brasov is the eighth largest city in Romania and
one of the most important industry hubs in the country. Due to its
numerous historical sites and its proximity to popular ski and mountain
resorts, Brasov is also a leading tourist destination in Romania. The city
does not have a large modern shopping centre and NEPI and Carrefour’s
properties are ideally located to be re-developed into a dominant regional
mall. The original intention was to develop up to 57,000 m2 of GLA. The
Group and its development partner have since agreed to enlarge the planned
mall and are, to this end, in the process of acquiring an additional
7,000 m2 plot of land adjacent to NEPI’s assets. The enlarged regional
mall will consist of approximately 65,000 m2 of GLA and will be integrated
with 13,200 m2 of neighbouring bulk retail. The completion of the
development, which is subject to final approval by the NEPI and Carrefour
boards, is planned for 2014.

Galati Shopping City
As announced in November 2012 the Group has concluded an agreement to
acquire a plot of land of approximately 12,700 m2 in Galati, Romania. The
site of the proposed Galati development is located on one of the main
boulevards of Galati and has good vehicular and public transport access.
Galati is the seventh largest Romanian city and the largest Romanian port
city on the Danube River. The site is 25 kilometres from Promenada Mall
Braila, NEPI’s regional shopping centre in neighbouring town Braila. There
are no major retail centres in Galati. The Group acquired the land with
the intention of developing a retail value centre anchored by a
hypermarket and several international value brands. Due to strong tenant
demand, the Group now intends to develop a shopping centre on the site.
The permitting process is progressing well. Construction of the first
phase (approximately 30,000 m2 of GLA) will commence once the required
building permit has been obtained.

Vulcan Value Centre
As announced in June 2012, the Group entered into a joint venture to
acquire and develop a former factory site located in an under-serviced and
densely populated area of Bucharest (the capital city of Romania). The
site has good vehicular and public transport access. NEPI plans to develop
a value centre with 25,500 m2 of GLA anchored by a hypermarket and other
value tenants. The zoning approval was obtained during December 2012,
which was later than anticipated. Lease agreements have been entered into
with Carrefour (for a hypermarket) and KFC (for a drive through). Lease
discussions with a number of other international tenants are progressing
well. Broad commercial terms have been negotiated in respect of 65% of the
planned GLA. Site preparation works have commenced and construction works
will begin when the required building permit has been obtained, with an
opening planned by the 2013 year end, provided that there are no further
delays in the permitting process.

Kaufland value extensions
The Group has concluded agreements to acquire land in two smaller Romanian
towns adjacent to existing Kaufland supermarkets (in Alexandria and Sfantu
Gheorghe) and is in the process of acquiring three further similar sites
in other similar towns with the intention to develop convenience retail
value schemes linked to the supermarkets. Kaufland is a German discount
supermarket chain which operates over 1,000 stores in Germany and several
Central and Eastern European countries. It became the leading food
retailer in Romania with 81 well located owned and operated stores by the
end of 2012 and over €1.3 billion in annual sales in Romania. The stores
have standard layouts with sales areas of approximately 5,000 m2 per
store. The five planned developments will initially range from 1,900 to
2,900 m2 of GLA per development.

Promenada Mall Braila
The expansion of the fashion offering referred to in NEPI’s 2011 annual
report was completed in May 2012 with the opening of H&M and C&A. This has
strengthened the mall’s regional dominance. Since this expansion, NEPI has
acquired approximately 1,900 m2 of land adjacent to the fashion section of
the mall with a view to effect a further extension of the mall with
additional international fashion brands.

OFFICE PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS, EXTENSIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS
Given the relative scarcity of capital for investment in its markets, NEPI
has identified attractive office acquisition and development opportunities
in Romania. NEPI’s office strategy is to own large A-grade offices that
comply with international tenant requirements in prime locations in cities
with significant multi-national tenant presence. To this end, the Group
has acquired the centrally located City Business Centre (the only A-grade
office development) in Timisoara and centrally located office development
land in Cluj-Napoca (“Cluj”). NEPI is in negotiations to acquire The
Lakeview offices in Bucharest. NEPI owns significant prime offices in
Bucharest and Timisoara and has commenced works in relation to a unique
office development in Cluj.

City Business Centre
During February 2012, the Group acquired the City Business Centre in
Timisoara. Timisoara is home to a growing back-office activities-and-
services market that offers a skilled labour force, low costs and
proximity to Western Europe. The acquisition includes three existing
office buildings of 27,150 m2 of GLA and a forward commitment to acquire
two further office buildings with approximately 20,000 m2 of GLA that were
under development. Tenants in the three existing office buildings include
Alcatel, Deloitte, IBM, Microsoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Raiffeisen
Bank, UniCredit Tiriac Bank and Wipro. The first of the two office
buildings which were under development at the time of the acquisition was
completed in September 2012. To date, close to 70% of the office space in
this building has been leased to tenants including Autoliv, EBS, Maerz,
SAP and Unified Post. The building also includes conference facilities.

The Office Cluj-Napoca
During July 2012, the Group acquired an 18,082 m2 plot of land in the city
centre of Cluj, in a joint venture with Mr. Ovidiu Sandor (the developer
of City Business Centre) with a view to develop, in three phases, up to
54,200 m2 of A-grade office GLA. Cluj is situated in the north-western
part of Romania and is the second largest city in Romania by population.
The city houses the headquarters of a number of multinational companies
and the city is also an important centre for tertiary education. Since the
project was announced, significant tenant enquiries were received for what
would be the first A-grade office development in Cluj. Site set-up has
commenced in February 2013 and the issue of a building permit is imminent.
The first phase of the development is expected to be completed by spring
2014.

The Lakeview
The Group is in negotiations to acquire The Lakeview offices in Bucharest,
Romania. The Lakeview is a landmark A-grade office building consisting of
offices and ground floor retail with a total GLA of 25,500 m2 and 485
parking bays. The Lakeview is located close to NEPI’s Floreasca Business
Park in the emerging office corridor between Floreasca and Barbu Vacarescu
Streets in the North East of Bucharest. The building is fully occupied
with tenants including Alcon, Colgate-Palmolive, Huawei, Philips,
PricewaterhouseCoopers and Royal Bank of Scotland. Further announcements in
relation to the acquisition of The Lakeview will be made as and when
appropriate.

Piata Victoriei office development
Design and permitting works are ongoing in relation to a landmark office
development on NEPI’s land in Piata Victoriei, Bucharest. As the site is
part of a historic area, progress is slow with several authorities that
need to approve the development proposal.

DISPOSALS
Retail Park Auchan Pitesti
As announced during August 2012, the Group entered into agreements with
the Auchan group to sell the hypermarket section of Retail Park Auchan
Pitesti for a total consideration of approximately €28.7 million. The
transaction, which is subject to a number of conditions precedent, is
expected to conclude early in 2013.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND DEBT
In addition to €147.4 million in cash and net listed property shares, the
Group has an undrawn secured revolving facility with UniCredit Tiriac Bank
for €9.5 million and is expected to be in a position to drawdown a further
€3.25 million as the construction loan with BRD (a subsidiary of Societe
Generale) in relation to Ploiesti Shopping City is converted into an
investment loan.

The Group will retain high levels of access to liquidity due to the
instability of the European banking markets, to finance the Group’s
development pipeline and to pursue further investment opportunities. In
order to mitigate the dilutory effect this has on earnings, a portion of
the cash held for capital commitments has been invested in liquid dividend
paying listed property shares. The total investment exposure to listed
securities amounted to €71.5 million as at year end. As at 31 December
2012 and as at the date of this report, the listed securities traded at a
premium to their initial acquisition cost and accrued income.

As reported on before, the Group has renewed its €9.5 million secured
revolving facility with UniCredit Tiriac Bank during the 2012 financial
year. The facility carries an interest rate of 1 month Euribor plus 4.0%
and matures on 31 May 2013 when, at the Group’s option, the facility is
convertible into a term loan repayable on 31 December 2014. The facility
remains undrawn at the date of this report.

A construction loan of €33.5 million was granted by BRD in July 2012 for
the development of Ploiesti Shopping City. NEPI and Carrefour Property
each own 50% of this project; therefore, the Group accounts for 50% of the
loan. The construction loan is in the process of conversion into an
investment loan and the total loan amount will increase to €40 million,
repayable in 10 years. The construction loan carries an interest rate of
3 month Euribor plus 4.5%, while the investment loan will carry an
interest rate of 3 month Euribor plus 4.0%.

The Group had €219 million of third party debt finance in place at
31 December 2012 (€197 million in secured term debt and €22 million in
short term facilities secured over the listed property shares). €79
million of the secured term debt is due for repayment during the 2013
financial year. The Group does not foresee difficulty to re-finance the
expiring debt. At year end, the Group’s gearing ratio (interest bearing
debt less cash divided by investment property and listed property shares)
decreased to 25%. The average interest rate (including interest rate
hedging costs) in relation to the debt was approximately 4.5% during the
2012 financial year.

PROSPECTS
NEPI has achieved high levels of growth in recurring distributable
earnings per share over the course of the past five years and as a result
achieved a nominal average compounded annual growth rate of 12.15% in
distribution per share from the 2008 to 2012 financial years. It remains
the Group’s ambition to pursue further attractive growth in recurring
distributable earnings in 2013 and onwards. Significant progress was made
through the acquisition and development activities reported above. In
addition, the Group has and will continue to explore and pursue further
acquisition and development opportunities in Romania and in other
countries in the region. These initiatives, which include two retail
development opportunities in Romania and five retail acquisition
opportunities in the Central and Eastern European region, are at various
stages of progress. Announcements in this regard will be made as and when
appropriate.
