UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

DIRECTORS’ COMMENTARY

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS

The Group achieved 17.59 euro cents in recurring distributable earnings per share for the period ended 30 June 2015, in
line with the guidance issued on 11 February 2015. 0.53 euro cents per share included in this amount result from
favourable funding arrangements with the minority shareholder of Mega Mall. Non-recurring distributable earnings of
0.58 euro cents per share was the result of a financial discount derived from the early repayment of a term loan.

This result represents a 24% increase in recurring distributable earnings per share compared to the first half of 2014, and
is due to the continuing strong performance of Group assets and favourable impact of acquisitions and developments
completed since June 2014.

HALF-YEAR DISTRIBUTION AND OPTION TO RECEIVE CAPITAL RETURN

The Board of Directors (Board) has declared a distribution of 18.17 euro cents per share for the six months ended 30
June 2015. Shareholders have the option to receive their distribution as cash or an issue of fully-paid shares at a ratio of
1.92 new shares for each 100 held.

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

HIGHLIGHTS

Please note that further information is available in previous announcements.

Opening of Mega Mall

The Group reached a significant milestone with the completion of Mega Mall, during the first half of 2015, its largest and
most ambitious development project to date. The 75,000m2 Gross Leasable Area (GLA) mall opened for trade on 14 May
2015, 15 months after the start of construction works. It has a built area of approximately 230,000m2 over five levels in
the densely populated eastern Bucharest, Romania. Mega Mall has a significant impact on retail in the city and
dominates retail in eastern Bucharest since opening. Footfall averages have been very strong and trading levels have
exceeded expectations.

The mall was 98% let at opening. The balanced tenant mix represents a unique blend of offerings including various
international and national brands such as Adidas, Bata, Benvenuti, Bershka, Brioche Dorée, Buzz, C&A, Carrefour, CCC,
Cinema City (with the country's first 4DX cinema auditorium), Colin’s, Cropp, Deichmann, dm, Douglas, Ecco, Flanco,

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

The Group has steadily been increasing its investment in developments over the past few years. Developments and
redevelopments completed in the last four years have significantly contributed to the growth in recurring distributable
earnings per share. NEPI’s development pipeline, including redevelopments and extensions, has increased to €565
million (estimated at cost), of which €139 million was spent by 30 June 2015.

RETAIL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXTENSIONS

City Park extension
NEPI has made significant progress with its 20,500m2 GLA extension to the existing 29,284m2 GLA at City Park,
Constanta, Romania. The first phase of the extension is complete and Cinema City's ten-screen cinema, including
Romania’s second 4DX auditorium, opened to the public on 31 July 2015.
The second phase is scheduled for opening in March 2016.

Shopping City Deva extension
Construction and leasing for the 10,600m2 GLA extension and redevelopment of Shopping City Deva, Deva, Romania,
have progressed significantly. New tenants include C&A, CCC, Cinema City (with six screens), Deichmann, H&M, KFC and
Orsay. The opening of the extension is planned for September 2015.

Promenada Mall extension
Following the acquisition of 1.2ha adjacent to Promenada Mall, Bucharest, the Group has initiated the permitting
process to develop a retail extension and integrated office building.

The extension is expected to add 34,000m2 of retail GLA to the current 40,300m2 GLA, and integrates an 17,000m2 GLA
office component. The retail extension will include new fashion tenants, a cinema and additional leisure and
entertainment offerings.

Promenada Mall, opened in 2013, is situated in Bucharest's emerging Floreasca-Barbu Vacarescu business district, and
benefits from its affluent residents, the development of infrastructure and A-grade office buildings. The extension will
further strengthen and diversify the centre’s offering.

Severin Shopping Center extension
Construction and leasing for the extension and redevelopment of Severin Shopping Center, Drobeta-Turnu Severin,
Romania, are progressing well. Phase I, consisting of 4,500m2 GLA of the 9,700m2 GLA extension, will include tenants
such as Benvenuti, Cinema City (with six screens) and KFC, and is planned to open in October 2015.
The second phase of the extension is scheduled for completion in 2016.

Shopping City Timisoara
The development of the 55,900m2 GLA Phase I of the 80,000m2 GLA regional mall located in Timisoara, Romania, is
ongoing. The centre will have substantial modern entertainment and leisure facilities including a thirteen-screen cinema
with an IMAX and 4DX auditoriums. The Carrefour hypermarket and adjacent line stores are planned to open in
November 2015, while the fashion, entertainment and leisure facilities will open in 2016.

Shopping City Piatra Neamt
Permitting for a 25,000m2 GLA regional mall in Piatra Neamt, Romania, is progressing as planned. Carrefour has been
secured as the operator of a 10,000m2 hypermarket and Cinema City will operate a six-screen cinema.
This development is expected to be completed during 2016.

OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS
The Office, Cluj-Napoca, Phase II
Construction of Phase II of The Office, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, will include 19,400m2 of A-grade office GLA, is progressing
as scheduled, and is expected to be ready for tenant fit out by November 2015. Based on the strong tenant demand, the
building is planned to be substantially leased by year-end.

Furthermore, the structural design works for Phase III of the development, consisting of 17,200m2 of A-grade office GLA
have been contracted.

Victoriei Office
The construction on the Victoriei Office and the refurbishment of the historical Oromolu villa in Bucharest are ongoing.
As planned, this 8,400m2 GLA landmark office development will be substantially completed by year-end.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

The high collection rate of tenant receivables reflects the quality of the tenant mix. Non-recoverable tenant income for
the first half of 2015 amounted to €285,823, 0.4% of annual contractual rental income and expense recoveries. The
vacancy level, including Mega Mall, is 1.7% compared to 1.8% recorded in the second half of 2014.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND DEBT

NEPI extended €20 million of secured debt facilities during the first six months of the year, and, in July 2015, extended
the availability of its unsecured revolving facility of €80 million by one more year, to December 2016. An unsecured,
two-year term loan agreement of up to €250 million was set up via syndication with Raiffeisen Bank International. Out of
this amount, €143.8 million is available for drawdown by December 2015, whilst the balance remains subject to
syndication.

NEPI prepaid the €17.6 million loan to Volksbank at a discount to face value.

As of 30 June 2015, the Group had €63.5 million in cash and additional undrawn revolving facilities of €62.5 million (this
does not include the unsecured two-year term loan contracted in June 2015).

On 30 June 2015, the Group’s gearing ratio (interest bearing debt less cash divided by investment property and listed
property shares) reached 14.9% compared to 8% at the end of the previous year. The average interest rate, including
hedging costs, was approximately 4.5% in 2015, down from 5% in 2014 due to contracting new loans at better margins,
while 32% of the base interest rate (Euribor) was hedged with interest rate caps and 39% with interest rate swaps.

MANAGEMENT CHANGE

As announced on August 7th, 2015, Alex Morar has been appointed as CEO to continue the Company's strategy, as Martin
Slabbert and Victor Semionov have resigned from their positions of CEO and COO. Mr Morar has been with NEPI since its
founding in 2007, being involved in all aspects of the business since.

PROSPECTS AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE

The Board is confident that distributable earnings per share for 2015 will be approximately 20% higher compared to
2014. The earnings guidance is based on the assumption that a stable macroeconomic environment prevails, no major
corporate failures occur, planned developments remain on track, and is also sensitive to the impact of the acquisitions
currently in the pipeline. This forecast has not been audited or reviewed by NEPI’s auditors and is the responsibility of
the Board.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”),
its interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), the presentation and the
disclosure requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the JSE Listings Requirements. 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 2014.

As the Group is focusing on being consistent in 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
unaudited management accounts. The main difference between the management accounts and the financial statements
is that the management accounts statements are prepared using the proportionate consolidation method for
investments in joint-ventures, which is not in accordance with IFRS (but consistent with financial statements prepared in
accordance with IFRS reported before 1 January 2013), while the IFRS financial statements use the equity method for
accounting for these investments (following the adoption of IFRS 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ effective 1 January 2013). The
management accounts have been prepared by and are the responsibility of the above mentioned Directors of NEPI. Due
to its nature, the management accounts may not fairly reflect the financial position and results of the Group after the
differences set out above.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have not been
reviewed or reported on by the Group’s external auditors.
