Semi annual report

(all following numbers are in USD)

Highlights

  • The group a total comprehensive loss of 4.9 million in the first six months of 2016, compared with -7,8 million for the same period in 2015.
  • In Q2 the group sold its shares in TK Development A/S, and distributed approx. 85% of the proceeds as dividends to shareholders (NOK 3.80 per share). After this sale the company's remaining business is direct ownership of the investment property Gasfield in Russia.
  • A loss on the sale of the shares in TK Development A/S are recognized of 3.0 million in 2016, compared with the book value at year end (First six months 2015: +1.4 million).
  • Impairment of the carrying value of the investment property Gasfield totals 1.2 million in the first six months 2016, according to valuations by independent valuer, Cushman & Wakefield (First six months 2015: -12.3 million). In 2015 the group also owned the Grifon building in St Petersburg, which was sold in December 2015.
  • Revenues from the investment property in Russia were 3.0 million in the first six months 2016, compared with 5.6 million for the same period last year. In 2015 the group also had revenues from Grifon, which was sold in December 2015.
  • From investments in bonds and funds it is recorded approx. nil change in value for the first six months 2016. Storm Real Estate ASA has in the first six months sold their entire holdings in Storm Bond Fund.
  • Borrowing costs were 1.1 million in the first six months (2015: 1.6 million), including interest rate swaps.

Accounting for value change on investment property:

In accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS) the movement in value of investment property are split over two separate posts, explained by the following: Our Russian subsidiaries which own the buildings have Russian roubles as functional currency. According to IFRS, only the part of the fair value adjustment which can be attributed to RUB is presented over the Income Statement. The effect of currency exchange movements between RUB and USD is presented as Other Comprehensive Income and is included in term Total Comprehensive Income. We perceive Total Comprehensive Income as the most relevant measure of the company's profit. In every quarter we present an explanatory statement of the fair value adjustment:

Change in value, million USD 6M 2016 6M 2015
Over income statement -0.2 -14.6
Translation difference over Other
Comprehensive Income
-1.0 +2.3
Sum value adjustments properties -1.2 -12.3

Balance sheet

  • The investment property Gasfield is recorded at 35.0 million. The building's valuation in accordance with valuation obtained from an independent valuer is 33.5 million. In addition, values of contract derivatives and land leases are recognised with 1.5 million.
  • On the closing date, the group had a cash balance of 4.5 million and investments in bonds for 1.3 million. Available liquid assets were therefore 5.8 million.
  • The group has made provisions of 4.3 million in deferred tax. 1.8 million of this is deferred tax related to the value adjustment on the investment property Gasfield, after acquisition date and measured in local currency. The deferred tax could become payable on a potential realisation of the building, while a potential realisation of shares in the property-owning subsidiaries could result in lower tax or no taxes. 2.5 million is deferred tax in Norway, related to unrealized foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans to foreign subsidiaries.
  • The group is about to implement an intra-group parent/subsidiary merger, that is expected to have a positive effect on equity. This is as a result of that there are deferred taxes related to unrealized foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans between the merging companies.
  • The group's equity ratio is 21.2%. The bank loan has a covenant of minimum 20% equity ratio.
  • The Company's NAV per share in NOK 30 June 2016 is 3.98, after payment of dividend at NOK 3.80 per share.

The company's risk is still considered high due to the company's exposure to Russia. The situation in Russia is still very demanding. Large vacancy combined with short leases in our buildings could lead to lower future income. The business risks are otherwise roughly the same as those described in the company's annual report for 2015.

The Company's Investment areas

In the first six months the company realized both shares in TK Development A/S and holdings in investment fund Storm Bond Fund. The company is now a pure investment company with one investment in Russia.

Real Estate in Russia (Gasfield, Moscow)

Macro snapshot

  • Russia is still in a recession. But market commentators have upgraded expectations of growth in the coming years. There is an expected negative growth in 2016, but from 2017 there is an expected positive growth.
  • Coinciding with an increase in oil prices, the Russian currency also strengthened in the first six months. The Russian Rouble has strengthened against the US Dollar with more that 20% since the beginning of January. This gives higher revenues for foreign investors such as Storm Real Estate.
  • Inflation is down from 15.3% at the end of the first six months 2015 to 7.5% at the end of six months 2016.
  • Unemployment is down from 5.8% at the year end to 5.4% at the end of the first six months.

Real Estate Market

  • Only 0.2 billion USD was invested in commercial properties in Q2 2016. However, in Q1 2016 2.8 billion USD was invested. For comparison the invested volume for the whole of 2015 was 2.8 billion USD.
  • Of the investments made, approx. 95% were made by domestic investors, and only 5% by foreign investors.
  • During the first six months, 175,000 m2 of office buildings were compleded in Moscow, were 83% are class B buildings.
  • The vacancy in class B buildings is approx. 15.9%. For class A buildings the vacancy is approx. 28%. For the overall market the vacancy is 18.7%. Low access and constant demand caused a drop in the vacancy in Q2.
  • Registered rent levels showed a declining trend in the first six months.
  • It is a trend that tenants seek rental agreements in roubles instead of US dollar. 93% of observed rental agreements were contracted in roubles during the first six months 2016. Storm Real Estate has also increased their rouble exposure during the last year, which has resulted in lower revenues in USD following the sharp rouble drop in 2014 and 2015.

** The Company has capitalised land plot lease agreements in accordance with IAS 40 Investment Property and IAS 17 Leases.

*** In 2015 The Company signed an agreement on a lease reduction with the anchor tenant in Moscow. Reduction is in practice done by agreeing a ceiling on exchange rate USD/RUB = 45. This arrangement shall in accordance with IFRS be treated as a financial derivative. This derivative is related to the investment property. The company has recognised a financial liability when USD/RUB at the reporting date was unfavourable. A recognition of this currency derivative has no effect on the net asset value, when the size of the asset and liability are equal (see liability in note 4). The big change from the beginning of the year is a result of that the contract's duration is halved. Maturity date for agreement is in January 2017. At year end there were approx. 12 months remaining. At the end of the first six months There is approx. 6 months remaining.
