Notice of Results  

Secure Property Development & Investment PLC, the AIM quoted South Eastern European focused property and investment company, announces that it expects to release its full year financial results for the year ended 31 December 2014, on 25 May 2015.

Highlights of the 2014 Annual Results, which are subject to final audit sign off, include:

·     59% increase in total asset value to €62 million (2013: €39million) reflecting the transformational acquisitions made during the year across the region

·     33% increase in rental income to €3.6 million (2013: €2.7million)

·     300% increase in EBITDA to €0.8 million (2013:€0.2million)

·     £0.75 per share of Net Asset Value at year end (2013: £1.23) reflecting the issue of new ordinary shares during 2014 and write downs of assets in Ukraine

·     Successfully implemented strategy to expand geographic spread of the portfolio to encompass fast growing South eastern European countries which offer high yields and capital growth

Lambros G. Anagnostopoulos, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Company has made excellent progress in implementing its growth strategy as reflected in our numbers.  We have increased the number of investments and the income generation capacity of our asset base and importantly diversified geographically.  Our EBITDA and the capitalisation rates at which we are making acquisitions highlight the opportunities that can be achieved by deploying capital in the region and we envisage further transactions in the near term.  SPDI has a portfolio of prime commercial real estate let out to blue chip tenants on long leases generating stable and visible cash flow.  South East Europe has excellent potential for asset appreciation and yield compression and we believe we have a platform from which to grow SPDI substantially to the benefit of its shareholders."
