UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS
The Group achieved distributable earnings of 11.87 euro cents per share
for the six months ended 30 June 2013 which represents a 17.27%
improvement in recurring distributable earnings per share compared to
the prior interim period. This excellent financial result was due to the
continuing strong performance of the Group’s assets, the acquisition of
The Lakeview in February 2013 and additional rental income generated
through the completion of Ploiesti Shopping City during the last quarter
of 2012.

DISTRIBUTION
The Board of Directors declared a distribution of 12.93 euro cents per
share in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2013, an improvement of
15% over the 11.24 euro cents per share distribution declared in
relation to the comparable prior interim period. This includes an amount
of €1.69 million of retained distributable earnings carried forward from
prior financial periods.

As of 30 June 2013 the balance of retained distributable earnings
carried forward from prior financial periods, after the interim period
distribution in relation to 2013, amounts to €6.5 million. The Board
will consider distributing the retained distributable earnings during
forthcoming financial periods as the Group pursues various property
developments. Once completed, these developments are expected to have a
positive impact on per share distributions. However, during the
construction period distributable earnings are diluted as interest in
relation to property under construction is capitalised at the Group’s
average cost of finance and any cash balances retained to finance such
developments yield low returns.

OPTION TO RECEIVE CAPITAL RETURN
Consistent with prior practice and given the ongoing development and
acquisition programme, the Board resolved to offer shareholders the
option to receive the distribution as a cash settlement or a return of
capital by way of an issue of new shares credited as fully paid up at a
ratio of 2.694 new shares for each 100 shares held.

A circular that contains details of the election, accompanied by
announcements on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) of the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), the Regulatory News Service (RNS) of
the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB),
will be issued in due course.

ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE
The Group made significant progress in expanding its acquisition and
development pipeline during the interim period. As of 30 June 2013 the
Group had secured several additional earnings enhancing acquisitions and
a number of attractive new development opportunities.

Subsequent to the interim period the Group has acquired two shopping
centres and has committed to acquire a third shopping centre for an
aggregate pre-debt value of €€150 million. As of 30 June 2013 this cost
had not been incurred. The Group also decided not to proceed with the
acquisition of a 50% interest in a shopping centre in Budapest.

At the date of this report the Group’s development pipeline (including
redevelopment opportunities and extensions in relation to secured
acquisitions) has increased to €350 million of which €52 million had
been incurred as at 30 June 2013. This includes the purchase of a 70%
interest in a new shopping mall development in Bucharest and other
development opportunities detailed below.

RETAIL PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS, EXTENSIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS
Mega Mall
As announced on 2 August 2013 the Group has concluded a framework
agreement to acquire a 70% interest in a permitted development site
named Mega Mall (otherwise known as the former Electroaparataj factory
site) in Bucharest, Romania. NEPI intends to develop a 70,000m2 GLA
shopping mall in conjunction with Austrian development group Real4You.
The 5.1ha site is located in a very densely populated area of eastern
Bucharest, close to the Romanian national football stadium, which is
currently lacking retail space. The site has good visibility from a
major vehicle artery and has access to public transport, including
trams, buses and trolley buses. A metro station is planned in front of
the site and the shopping mall is expected to connect to it.
Approximately 30% of the planned GLA is already subject to tenant
commitments, including international clients such as Carrefour, C&A and
H&M. Construction will start in 2013 and the shopping mall will open
mid-2015. The agreement with Real4You is subject to various conditions
precedent to be fulfilled or waived by the end of August 2013. This
includes NEPI’s right to perform its payment obligations fully, or
partially, by means of vendor consideration placement.

Aupark Zilina
As announced on 25 April 2013, and subsequent to the interim period that
ended on 30 June 2013, the Group completed the acquisition of Aupark
Zilina, a regional mall with approximately 22,000m2 of retail GLA,
situated in the city centre of Zilina, in Slovakia. Major tenants in the
mall include international brands such as Billa, C&A, Deichmann, H&M and
New Yorker. The effective date of the acquisition is 31 July 2013.


Deva Shopping Centre
Subsequent to the interim period that ended on 30 June 2013 the Group
has committed to the acquisition of a regional shopping centre with
approximately 42,000m2 of retail GLA in Deva, Romania. Deva is the
capital of the Hunedoara county, located in western central part of
Romania. In addition to Deva’s approximately 56,000 residents the
catchment area includes roughly 220,000 residents in a number of smaller
surrounding towns all within 45 minutes’ drive from the Centre. Major
tenants include Metro Cash & Carry, Real Hypermarket (in due course this
will probably become an Auchan Hypermarket as Real has been acquired by
Auchan in Romania), Praktiker DIY, DM, Domo, Jysk and Takko. The
acquisition includes approximately 2.9ha of additional land intended for
extensions. The effective date of the acquisition is 31 July 2013. The
transaction is subject to approval by the Romanian Competition Council.

Galati Shopping City
The Group obtained a building permit for its shopping mall development
in Galati, Romania, and commenced construction. The first phase of the
development will consist of approximately 27,000m2 of GLA and will open
at the end of this year. At the date of this report 62% of the planned
first phase GLA has been secured via signed lease agreements with
tenants including Altex, Benvenuti, Carrefour, DM, KFC, Noriel, Orange,
Otter, Puma, Sabon, Sensiblu and Vodafone. Commercial terms for a
further 25% of the planned GLA have been agreed in principle with
prospective tenants.

Kaufland value extensions
Further to the announcement made on 25 April 2013 the Group has
completed and opened the first of the Kaufland strip mall extensions in
Alexandria, Romania, started construction on two further sites and
obtained a building permit for a fourth development. Four strip malls
are expected to be open by the end of the 2013 financial year.

Severin Shopping Center
Further to the announcement made on 25 April 2013, and subsequent to the
interim period that ended on 30 June 2013, the Group finalised the
acquisition of the Severin Shopping Center, which has approximately
16,000m2 of GLA and approximately 2.3ha of additional land for extension
purposes. Major tenants include Carrefour, Altex, Takko, Deichmann, New
Yorker and Lee Cooper. The effective date of the acquisition is 1 May
2013.

Targu Jiu Shopping City
Further to the announcement made on 25 April 2013 the Group has obtained
zoning approval for a regional shopping mall of approximately 27,000m2
of GLA from the authorities in Targu Jiu, Romania. The Group is
currently engaged in the process of compiling and submitting
documentation for obtaining the building permit.

Vulcan Value Centre
As announced on 6 June 2012 the Group entered into a shareholders’
agreement with Mr Michael Topolinski to jointly acquire the Vulcan land
site in Bucharest, via a company named Zircon Properties, with the
intention of developing a value centre. As previously reported there
have been unforeseen delays with permitting. In addition, various
disagreements emerged between NEPI and Mr Topolinski, which make the
completion of the development as a joint project improbable. NEPI and Mr
Topolinski are currently discussing an amicable separation in relation
to the Vulcan Value Centre transaction. If this dialogue is unsuccessful
the joint venture may fail and NEPI may pursue the opportunity alone.
NEPI’s net exposure to the joint venture is limited to €2.6 million,
consequently failure of the joint venture will not have a material
impact on NEPI’s financial standing.

OFFICE PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS, EXTENSIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS
City Business Centre
Further to the forward sale-purchase agreement entered into in relation
to the acquisition of Buildings D and E of City Business Centre in
Timisoara, Romania, the Group has made an initial early payment to the
vendor in February 2013 by means of a secured loan of approximately €8
million.

The Office Cluj-Napoca
The Group and its development partner Mr Ovidiu Sandor have obtained a
building permit in relation to the development of the office building in
Cluj, Romania. Construction has started and the first phase of
approximately 19,000m2 of GLA is expected to be completed on schedule in
April 2014. Heads of terms have been entered into with a number of
prospective tenants including Deloitte and Three Pillar Global Romania.

The Lakeview Further to the announcement of the 2012 financial results,
transfer of ownership of The Lakeview and payment of the purchase price
occurred in April 2013 with the effective date of the acquisition being
1 January 2013.

Piata Victoriei Office development
The Group has obtained a planning certificate enabling it to apply for a
building permit in relation to the planned office development in Piata
Victoriei, Bucharest.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS REGARDING SIBIU SHOPPING CITY DEBT ACQUISITION
Further to the announcement made by NEPI on 11 July 2013, regarding the
information released via the RNS of the LSE on 9 July 2013 that Argo
Real Estate Opportunities Fund Limited (Argo), an Alternative Investment
Market (AIM) listed company with a market capitalisation of
approximately £10 million, had commenced legal proceedings against NEPI
and Volksbank in relation to the Sibiu Shopping City debt acquisition by
the Group, the Group confirms that there is no change in status
regarding the potential debt acquisition. In addition, NEPI’s counsel
has reviewed the Argo claim and shareholders of NEPI are advised that
the Board of Directors not only remains of the view that the Company has
at all times acted lawfully but considers Argo’s action to be void of
substance and vexatious in nature.

DISPOSALS
Retail Park Pitesti
As announced during August 2012 the Group entered into an agreement with
the Auchan Group to sell the hypermarket section of Retail Park Pitesti
for a total consideration of approximately €29.4 million. The
transaction concluded on 29 April 2013.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
Adjusted Net Asset Value (NAV) as of 30 June 2013 is 18% higher compared
to the comparable prior interim period. Vacancy is down for this period:
the vacancy calculated as a portion of available rentable area
(excluding those under earn-out arrangements in City Business Centre,
Timisoara) is 4.08% compared to 4.8% at the 2012 year end. Non-
recoverable tenant income amounted to €77,000 in respect of the six
months ended on 30 June 2013, equivalent to 0.29% of the contractual
rental income and expense recoveries for the interim period.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND DEBT
During the interim period that ended on 30 June 2013 the Company raised
€59 million via the issue of new ordinary shares on the South African
register in an over-subscribed private placing and ended the period with
€130 million in cash and listed property shares. The total investment
exposure to listed securities amounted to €55 million, while the listed
securities traded at a premium to their initial acquisition cost and
accrued income.

The Group raised €100 million in a rights issue that was completed after
the end of the interim period.

In addition to the cash balances the Group has an undrawn secured
revolving facility with UniCredit Tiriac Bank for €9.5 million and a €10
million undrawn facility with Morgan Stanley against its portfolio of
listed securities. The Group is expected to be in a position to drawdown
a further €2.85 million as the construction loan with BRD (a subsidiary
of Groupe Société Générale) in relation to Ploiesti Shopping City is
converted into an investment loan.

The Group had €177 million of third-party debt finance in place as at 30
June 2013 and acquired a further €55 million of third-party debt finance
due to the acquisition of Aupark Zilina.

The Group is in the process of raising €30 million of third-party debt
finance secured against The Lakeview office building. The Group and its
development partner are in the process of implementing a development
loan facility of €13 million in relation to the development of the first
phase of The Office Cluj-Napoca. The Group has also received and is
considering a non-binding term sheet from Raiffeisen Bank International
to extend the loan that is due for repayment in October 2013 secured
over the Floreasca Business Park offices in Bucharest.

At 30 June 2013 the Group’s gearing ratio (interest bearing debt less
cash divided by investment property and listed property shares)
decreased to 19%. The average interest rate (including interest rate
hedging costs) in relation to the debt was approximately 4.6% during the
interim period.

PROSPECTS
The Board is confident that recurring distributable earnings per share
for the second half of the 2013 financial year will range from 13.5 to
14 euro cents per share (compared to 10.75 euro cents per share for the
half year ended on 31 December 2012). Consequently, growth in
distributions of approximately 15% is expected to be achieved for the
2013 financial year. The growth is based on the assumptions that a
stable macro-economic environment will prevail, no major corporate
failures will occur and that the developments reported on above will
progress in accordance with expectations. Budgeted rental income was
based on contractual escalations and market related renewals. This
forecast has not been audited or reviewed by NEPI’s auditors.

NEPI will continue to pursue profitable growth through further
acquisition and development opportunities in its markets. Further
announcements will be made as appropriate.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial results for the
six months ended 30 June 2013 have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement criteria of the International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and its interpretations adopted by the
International Accounting Board (“IASB”), specifically IAS34 “Interim
Financial Reporting”.

The accounting policies which have been applied are consistent with those
used in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2012, with the following exceptions:
– As a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” effective 1
January 2013, the Group is now accounting for its investments in joint
ventures under the equity method. The Group has restated the presentation
of the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Income starting 1
January 2012, which previously included joint ventures accounted for under
the proportionate consolidation method.
- The Group has changed the functional currency to Euro effective 1
January 2013. According to IFRS, previously issued financial statements
are not restated in this respect.
As the Group is focusing on being consistent on those areas of reporting
that are seen to be of most relevance to investors and on providing a
meaningful basis of comparison for users of the financial information, it
has prepared an unaudited pro forma statement of financial position as at
30 June 2013 and unaudited pro forma statement of income for the six
months ended 30 June 2013. The main difference between the unaudited pro
forma statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS is that the unaudited
pro forma statements are prepared using the proportionate consolidation
method for the investments in joint ventures, consistent with financial
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS reported in prior periods.

The unaudited pro forma statement of financial position and the unaudited
pro forma statement of income have been prepared by and are the
responsibility of the directors of NEPI.

Due to its nature, the unaudited pro forma statements of financial
position and income may not fairly reflect the financial position and
results of the Group after the differences set out above.
The condensed consolidated interim financial results are prepared in
accordance with IFRS and have not been reviewed or reported on by the
Group’s external auditors.
