UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS

The Group achieved 18.68 euro cents in recurring distributable earnings per share for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016.
This represents a 6.2% increase compared to the 17.59 euro cents recurring distributable earnings reported for the first half of 2015,
and an improvement compared to the 5% growth guidance issued on 9 February 2016. This is due to the strong performance of the
Company's assets and the favourable impact of acquisitions and developments completed after June 2015.

HALF-YEAR DISTRIBUTION AND OPTION TO RECEIVE CAPITAL RETURN

The Company declares a distribution of 18.68 euro cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Shareholders can elect
to receive their distribution either in cash or as an issue of fully paid shares at a ratio between the distribution declared and the
reference price. The reference price will be determined using a 5% discount to the five–day volume weighted average traded price
(less distribution) of NEPI shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited (JSE), by no later than 5 September 2016.

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

HIGHLIGHTS

The Company continues to pursue investment opportunities in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, consolidating
its position in the markets where it has established its presence and entering new markets. Despite increased competition, NEPI
remains well positioned to leverage its platform and track record as a foundation for further expansion.

ACQUISITIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Group acquired and developed a number of properties during the first half of 2016 (discussed below). The country and the
effective or opening date are included in brackets. All figures related to populations are estimates.

Mega Mall – acquisition of minority interest (Romania, 31 May 2016)
Following the purchase of a 30% interest, NEPI is the sole owner of Mega Mall. The property has been trading since May 2015, has
75,500m(2) of GLA and is the dominant mall in eastern Bucharest, with 910,000 residents within a 30–minute drive. The transaction
was finalised in July, following receipt of Competition Council's approval, and will be recognised in the financial statements of the
third quarter of 2016.

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

Consistent with its strategy, the Group continues to invest in developments that significantly contribute to the growth in distributable
earnings per share. NEPI is pursuing a development pipeline which exceeds EUR750 million (including redevelopments and extensions,
estimated at cost), of which EUR190 million was spent by 30 June 2016. This represents an increase of approximately EUR150 million
compared with 31 December 2015.

RETAIL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXTENSIONS

its Promenada Mall, located in Bucharest's new business district. Subject to permitting, the extension will be completed in 2018.

development of a shopping mall with more than 50,000m2 GLA. Novi Sad has 250,000 inhabitants, with 354,000 residents within
a 30–minute drive. Given the prime location, excellent visibility and size, the scheme will become dominant in the city. The mall

OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS

The Office, Cluj–Napoca – third phase (Romania)
Construction on the third phase of The Office, Cluj–Napoca, comprising 18,500m2 GLA, is on–going and will be completed
during 2017.

Victoriei Office (Romania)
The Group is developing a 8,400m(2) GLA landmark office, including a refurbished historical building, located in central Bucharest,
adjacent to the Romanian Government building. The building has been largely completed and the fit-out is currently under
permitting, to be finalised by the end of 2016.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND DEBT

The Company raised EUR195 million issuing new ordinary shares in 2016, of which EUR156 million was raised in the accelerated book build
which closed on 13 July 2016. NEPI repaid the Floreasca Business Park loan (EUR46 million) and obtained additional bank financing for
Aupark Kosice (EUR25 million), and for The Office, Cluj-Napoca (EUR8.5 million). During the first half of 2016, the average interest rate,
including hedging costs, was 3.7%, down from 3.9% in 2015. As of 30 June 2016, 34% of the base interest rate (Euribor) was hedged
with interest rate caps and 66% with interest rate swaps.

As at 30 June 2016, the Group had EUR54 million in cash, EUR20 million in listed property securities and an additional undrawn revolving
facility of EUR80 million. NEPI's gearing ratio (interest bearing debt less cash divided by investment property and listed property
securities) was 24.3%, compared to 14.6% at the end of the previous year.


OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Non–recoverable tenant income for the first half of 2016 was equivalent to 0.3% of the contractual rental income and expense
recoveries. The vacancy level is 1.9%, excepting non–core properties held for sale.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Mr Tiberiu Smaranda will resign from his position of Executive Director, effective 1 September 2016, to pursue other opportunities.

On 13 June 2016, the Board appointed Mr Antoine Laurens Vincent Dijkstra as a Non–executive Director. Mr Dijkstra has extensive
experience in investment management, with a focus on public sector related entities and financial institutions, and has advised
numerous clients on financing.

PROSPECTS AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Recurring distributable earnings per share for the year 2016 are expected to be approximately 15% higher compared to 2015, in line
with the guidance issued on 9 February 2016. This guidance is based on the assumptions that a stable macroeconomic environment
prevails, no major corporate failures occur, planned developments remain on schedule, and is sensitive to the impact of 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

The management accounts presented constitute pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements
and have not been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial reporting. 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 unaudited management accounts. The main difference
between the management accounts and the condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS is that
the management accounts are prepared using the proportionate consolidation method for investments in joint ventures, which is
not in accordance with IFRS (consistent with financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS reported before 1 January 2013),
while the IFRS 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
Directors of NEPI. Due to their 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 2016 have not been reviewed or
reported on by the Group's external auditors.
