At its meeting of 13 September 2016, chaired by Alain Perrollaz, the PAREF Management Board approved the Group's half-year consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2016 and submitted them to the Supervisory Board. The financial statements have been subject to a limited review by the Statutory Auditors. SCPI Interpierre France was deconsolidated at 1 January 2016, with data for the previous year restated for comparison purposes.
Record SCPI fundraising:
The half-year was marked by a new fundraising record of €58 million for the open-end SCPIs, due in particular to Novapierre Germany and, to a lesser extent, Interpierre.
Added to this was Paref Gestion taking on the management of SCPI Atlantique Pierre 1 and of a new OPPCI specialising in hotel development on 1 January 2016.
As such, assets managed on behalf of third parties grew significantly from €1,079 million at 31 December 2015 to €1,181 million.
Total assets held by the property fund and managed by Paref Group, following elimination of duplication (Paref investments in funds managed by Paref Gestion) totalled €1,318 million.
Rental income for the first half of 2016 totalled €4.8 million, a 2.1% increase compared with the same period of the previous financial year. Rent and costs recovered for the first six months of 2016 amounted to €7.2 million, compared with €6.9 million for the first half of 2015. This growth was mainly due to the acquisition of the Gentilly building.
On a constant Group structure basis, rental income fell 3.5% (primarily due to the renegotiation of the Pantin building).
Net rental income at 30 June 2016 stood at €4.1 million, compared with €3.8 million at 30 June 2015 (€5.1 million*).
During the first half of 2016, management and subscription fees rose by 58.7% to €7.4 million, compared with €4.7 million for the same period in 2015.
This increase was the result of the attractiveness of SCPI Novapierre Germany whose fundraising grew significantly in comparison with the same period the previous year (€44.8 million against €24 million at 30 June 2015). Subscription fees totalled €5.4 million (including €4.5 million from Novapierre Germany), compared with €3.0 million for the period to 30 June 2015.
Management fees stood at €2.0 million as against €1.8 million over the same period the previous financial year, with most of the increase coming from the development of SCPI Novapierre Germany and to a lesser extent from SCPI Atlantique Pierre 1.

Crossing of thresholds: In the first half of 2016, SPIRIT Group advised that it had crossed the 7% statutory threshold and held 87,107 shares representing 7.21% of the share capital and 4.62% of the voting rights at 30 June 2016.
In early September, Gilles Chamignon was appointed CEO of the subsidiary Paref Gestion, replacing Thierry Gaiffe. His mission will be to continue to develop management on behalf of third parties, in relation to both SCPIs and OPPCIs.
Business has been excellent for Paref Group over the first six months of 2016, both in relation to its property investment business and its management on behalf of third parties.
The Group will pursue the strategy of moving its property assets upmarket, allowing it to take full advantage of the compression of property yield rates. Selective disposals will be made as the opportunities arise, with acquisitions reinvesting the funds implemented giving priority to offices in the Paris area, and preferably within partnerships. Active management will also help maintain a high occupancy rate.
With a strengthened Management on behalf of third parties team, the Group will pursue its efforts to support fundraising by all the SCPIs. Moreover, Paref will seek to capitalise on the success of Novapierre Germany by offering new products to both private and corporate investors, notably on the German market.
PAREF Group operates in two major complementary areas:
At 30 June 2016, PAREF Group owned €159 million in property assets and managed assets worth €1,181 million on behalf of third parties.
