UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016

The Company is required to publish financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 in terms of the rules of the 
Romanian Financial Supervisory Authority ('RFSA') and the Rule Book of the Bucharest Stock Exchange ('BVB'). Accordingly,
this announcement presents the unaudited condensed consolidated financial results of the Group in respect of the financial 
period from 1 January 2016 to 30 September 2016 in a form compliant with the requirements of the RFSA and the BVB.

DIRECTORS' COMMENTARY

HIGHLIGHTS

The Group achieved 29.28 euro cents in distributable earnings per share for the first nine months of 2016. This represents
a 10.7% increase compared to the 26.45 euro cents recurring distributable earnings reported for the first nine months of
2015. The growth is due to continuing strong performance of NEPI's assets and the positive impact of acquisitions and
developments completed during the period.

On 20 October 2016, NEPI and Rockcastle Global Real Estate Company Limited ('Rockcastle'), a property investment
company, established in Mauritius and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ('JSE') and the Stock Exchange of
Mauritius ('SEM'), issued a joint cautionary announcement regarding a potential transaction between them. The discussions
have progressed to a co-operative evaluation of an all-share transaction, with each party's relative value
to be expressed in a share-swap ratio, subject to all required shareholder and regulatory approvals. Various legal, regulatory
and tax aspects are being analysed in several jurisdictions.

A transaction between NEPI and Rockcastle would result in a substantially enlarged market capitalisation, with all
shareholders expected to benefit from enhanced liquidity. A transaction will also see the integration of two
complementary management teams, positioned to unlock synergies and create further value for NEPI shareholders.

NEPI shareholders will be kept updated on progress toward finalisation of the details of a transaction. Pending further
announcements, NEPI shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in their shares.

NEPI continues to pursue investment opportunities in the Central and Eastern Europe ('CEE') region, consolidating its
position in the countries where it has established its presence and entering new markets.

PROSPECTS AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Distributable earnings per share for 2016 are projected to be approximately 15% higher compared to the
recurring distributable earnings for 2015, in line with previously issued guidance. 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. Furthermore, the Board projects that approximately 15% 
growth in distributable earnings per share for 2017 is achievable based on the following assumptions: a) no further equity is 
raised and an LTV level of approximately 30% is reached in completing controlled developments as planned; b) any potential 
corporate-level transaction is ignored; and c) a stable macroeconomic environment prevails and no major corporate failures occur. 
These forecasts have not been audited or reviewed by NEPI�s auditors and are the responsibility of the Board.
