<sup>1 The table shows the contribution of each of the businesses to the results of Kardan. As profits attributable to minority shareholders have already been deducted, these figures do not represent the full net result realized in each segment.

The Management Board of Kardan N.V. ("Kardan") commented on the developments in the emerging markets and the results of H1-2010:

"Kardan is active in emerging markets to create long term value for its shareholders. The markets, in which Kardan operates, are to a large extent influenced by the growth and financial stability worldwide, and in particular from the developments in Europe. These markets have weathered the European sovereign debt crisis relatively well to date, as growth indicators continued to improve during the second quarter of 2010. This is further demonstrated by the fact that local currencies have appreciated against the Euro, and confidence in the banking systems in Ukraine and Russia has been growing, increasing deposit taking at our banks. Our real estate activities are showing increasing income from rents and services, and we are witnessing stabilizing yields. This has led to a positive revaluation of our investment properties in CEE for the first time in 5 consecutive quarters. The strong demand for our water infrastructure services persists, especially in China and Africa which are facing a severe lack of (clean) water. In order to capitalize on this demand we have raised a capital facility of up to USD 50 million (approx. EUR 40 million).

Our strategy to create long term value for our shareholders by building local platforms means that we need to "sow before we can reap". We are convinced that our focused approach to investments in our core activities in emerging markets will continue to lead to sustainable long term value.'

Summary Results of first half of 2010

The net result of Kardan N.V. attributable to equity holders amounted to a profit of EUR 1 million in the first half of 2010 versus a loss of EUR 33 million in the same period of 2009. The increase is mainly attributable to the Real Estate division (EUR 14 million), and to the Financial Services division (EUR 10 million). Due to strengthening of the currencies against the Euro in most countries of operation, the value of the investments in these countries increased significantly. The increase in value is recognized directly in Equity, without effecting the income statement. Mainly as a result of this appreciation of local currencies, Equity attributable to shareholders increased in the first half of 2010 by EUR 75 million to EUR 368 million from EUR 293 million as at December 31, 2009.

The net contribution of the Real Estate division was a profit of EUR 2 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 12 million), out of which revaluation gains net of tax in H1-2010 amounted to EUR 11 million against revaluation losses of EUR 9 million in H1-2009. The revaluation gains were reduced by finance expenses of the holding company amounting to EUR 4 million, and corporate income taxes (EUR 2 million, including one-off expenses) of the operating companies. Most of the positive revaluation result comes from China (EUR 10 million). GTC SA also recorded a positive revaluation result (EUR 3 million) for the first time after five consecutive quarters with valuation losses.

In the Banking and Lending segment (TBIF), the net, negative, contribution to equity holders increased from a loss of EUR 25 million in H1-2009 to a loss of EUR 30 million in H1-2010. This loss for the period is significantly impacted by the application of revised IFRS 3 on the increase of Kardan's indirect stake in the Ukrainian bank VAB Bank from 49% to 63%. Due to this standard, foreign exchange losses in prior years which were already recorded directly in Equity, now have to be reclassified to the income statement; the impact of the application of this standard is a loss of EUR 16 million, as was recorded in the Q1-2010 results

The total net result of all TBIF operating companies improved by EUR 14 million from a loss of EUR 22 million in H1-2009 to a loss of EUR 8 million. This is partly due to lower provisions for bad debts (EUR 27 million in H1-2010 vs. EUR 43 million in H1-2009) resulting from positive macro-economic developments in Russia. In H1-2010, general and administrative expenses, finance expenses less other income of the holding companies amounted to EUR 5 million (H1-2009: EUR 3 million).

The Insurance and Pension segment (TBIH) contributed a net profit of EUR 30 million (H1-2009: net profit EUR 15 million). Due to the change of control in TBIH, Kardan recorded a net profit of EUR 24 million in H1-2010. The agreement to sell 40% of TBIH will not lead to additional results for Kardan. In the first half of 2009, Kardan recognized a capital gain of EUR 16 million on the sale of part of the activities of TBIH to VIG.

The net contribution of the (Water) Infrastructure division amounted to a profit of EUR 1 million in H1-2010 (H1-2009: loss of EUR 1 million). Higher revenues (up 29% y-o-y) and gross margins (up 40% yo-y) resulted in an operating profit (before fair value adjustments, disposal of assets and financial expenses) of EUR 5 million. The operating profit was off-set by finance expenses.

The Israeli Sale of vehicles and Rental and Leasing of vehicles segments contributed EUR 6 million (H1-2009: break-even) due to higher revenues and improvement in gross profit margins,

Finally, Other Results, mainly comprising of finance and general expenses not allocated to specific activities and the results of activities not attributable to a segment, amounted to a loss of EUR 8 million in H1-2010 (H1-2009: loss of EUR 10 million). Due to the revaluation of a forward transaction regarding Kardan's Israeli Shekel denominated debentures that were purchased through a subsidiary that did not qualify for hedge accounting, Kardan recorded additional EUR 3 million finance expenses in H1-2010 compared to H1-2009. In H1-2010, Kardan also realized a capital gain of EUR 6 million on the sale of a subsidiary active in Communications.

Developments within the divisions in H1-2010

GTC, Kardan's Real Estate division, realized strong growth in rental and service income throughout GTC SA's operations in the CEE region of 41% y-o-y. The increase in rental revenues reflects the high quality of GTC SA's office and retail assets, which was also illustrated by signing an agreement to sell two office buildings in Warsaw, Poland, at attractive yields. GTC SA's strong reputation and financial position, as well as its relationship with reputable banks, allowed GTC SA to continue the development of its portfolio and to increase its holdings in joint ventures. Residential sales declined as the number of apartments and houses available for sale decreased.

In the Chinese real estate operations, 1,911 apartment sales contracts were signed, significantly outpacing the H1-2009 level of 763. These sales will only be recognized as revenue upon delivery of the relevant apartments, which is expected between 14 and 18 months after signing the sales contract. The increasing real estate prices and the threat of a real estate bubble pushed the Chinese government to take action, in April 2010, in order to fight speculative purchases of apartments. This will, most likely, have a negative impact on the sales volume in the second half of the year though the impact should be partly mitigated by GTC China's strategy. GTC constructs apartments in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the majority of which are for buyers' own use and not for speculative purposes. In addition, larger projects are constructed in phases, enabling easy adaptation to changing market conditions. The construction of GTC's first shopping mall in China (Chengdu) is on track and is expected to open in Q4 of this year.

Within the Banking and Lending segment (TBIF) of the Financial Services division (KFS), the developments in Russia are promising: the loan portfolio of the bank increased significantly as did the deposit taking, as demonstrated by the improved operating results of the bank. In the other countries in which TBIF operates (Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria), the environment is still difficult, as governments are taking measures to reduce the fiscal deficit. However, a substantial increase in deposit taking in the Ukraine reflects growing confidence in the banking system. On the mid to long term, these governmental measures should translate into an improved competitive position of these countries' industries followed by recovering economies.

Tahal, Kardan's (Water) Infrastructure division, continued to see strong demand for its services, particularly in China and Africa which are facing a severe lack of (clean) water, resulting in an increase of revenues of 29% y-o-y. Tahal's excellent reputation led to the signing of agreements in H1-2010 with the governments of Angola (expected project revenue EUR 143 million) and of Ghana (expected revenues of EUR 83 million). To accommodate the many opportunities for (water) infrastructure projects, Tahal signed an agreement in July with a private equity investor (FIMI) to provide funds of up to USD 50 million (approx. EUR 40 million).

The Israeli automotive activities presented improved results in H1-2010 on the back of strong macro developments.

Outlook 20102

In the Real Estate division, the portfolio of yielding properties in CEE should increase in 2010 by another 50,000 sqm due to the completion of shopping centres in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. Residential sales in CEE will remain low due to the difficult markets and the increasing focus on commercial real estate. In China, we anticipate lower apartment sales in the second half of 2010 due

$2:$ Reference is made to the disclaimer at the end of Part 1

to the measures taken by the government to cool down the property market. In Q4-2010, GTC China expects to open its first shopping mall in Chengdu.

Based upon the results in H1-2010 and assuming no deterioration of the Real Estate markets in which we are active, profit from operations before tax and financing expenses should be positive.

In Financial Services (mainly Banking and Lending) in CEE, the economic environment in Russia has shown signs of improvement. In the other countries where we operate, such as in Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine, circumstances are more challenging. We expect that, on balance, lending activities should increase and provisions for bad debt will decrease throughout the full year 2010. On the other hand, profits on the investment in bonds should be lower as further upside will be limited. Overall, profit from continuing operations before tax in this sector may not end positive in 2010.

In the (Water) Infrastructure division, due to completion of waste water treatment plants in China in 2009 and 2010 (Tahal Assets) and the increase of backlog for the design, engineering and construction activities (Tahal Projects), management expects an increase in revenues and gross margins in 2010. Profit from operations before tax and finance expenses are expected to be positive.

Real Estate

Kardan is active in development and management of Real Estate mainly through GTC SA and GTC China, as well as through GTC Investments in Western Europe and Kardan Real Estate in Israel.

The largest holding, GTC SA, in which Kardan has a controlling 43% stake, operates mainly in Central and Eastern Europe. GTC China, 100% owned by Kardan, develops residential real estate in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in China, and focuses on developing mix use projects and operating commercial real estate as well.

In the first half year of 2010, the Real Estate division generated EUR 98 million revenues5 (H1-2009: EUR 129 million). Net profit attributable to equity holders of Kardan N.V. in H1-2010 amounted to EUR 2 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 12 million).

General market developments Central and Eastern Europe (GTC SA)

Interest from tenants, both in the office market as well as in the retail market, is picking up, particularly in Poland, leading to effective rental rates firming up in Warsaw. Rental rates for offices are expected to pick up due to limited new office space supply. Yield compression is visible in office transactions in Warsaw.

In secondary cities and other CEE and SEE markets rental rates remain weak. The investment market has shown a sharp increase in transaction volumes (retail CEE: 34% q-o-q); however, the market is still volatile. The investment focus is on Poland and the Czech Republic mainly.

Residential Market: In the first half of 2010, banks in Poland became more willing to grant mortgage loans as interest rates remained low. However, sales in Q2-2010 lagged those of Q1-2010, and H2-2010 sales figures were 16% lower than in H1-2009. This indicates that buyers are still holding back. This sentiment, in general, can be seen in other CEE countries as well.

Developments GTC SA

  • Total revenues from operations (EUR 78 million) decreased by 7% y-o-y, mainly due to lower income from residential sales (EUR 17 million vs. EUR 40 million in H1-2009) as completions were postponed and due to slower demand. Rental income increased 41% y-o-y to EUR 61 million, driven by income from newly completed buildings and improved occupancy rates in some of the existing buildings. The operating margin on rental activity was maintained at 78%. The gross margin on operations increased 16% y-o-y, to EUR 48 million.
  • As of June 30, 2010 investment property was revalued based on external valuations. The profit from revaluation amounted to EUR 13 million in H1-2010. Yield compression, higher

<sup>3 Reference is made to the disclaimer at the end of part 1

$\frac{4}{5}$ For the percentage of ownership reference is made to paragraph 1.5

$5$ Reference is made to the Segment information in the Financial Statements, page 21

occupancy and increased income were the main reasons for the higher valuation of some assets. In total, occupancy decreased, mainly due to opening of two office buildings in Q2-2010 with low occupancy. Profit from operations before tax, finance expenses and share of profit in associates in H1-2010 increased to EUR 50 million (+226% y-o-y).

  • In general, GTC SA maintains a low average interest rate on its loan portfolio. In H1-2010 however, financial expenses were EUR 35 million (vs. EUR 21 million in H1-2009) mainly due to an increase of the loans for the investment property portfolio by approximately EUR 350 million compared to June 30, 2009.
  • The net profit of EUR 3 million was also impacted by one-off tax expenses, mainly relating to appreciation of assets in local currency as well as impact of interest expenses for which deferred tax assets cannot be recognized.
  • The balance sheet of GTC SA remains strong with EUR 203 million in cash and short termdeposits, while 50% of the debt matures in 2015 or later. The leverage ratio net of cash (54%) showed moderate increase due to borrowing and investing into assets that are not revalued yet. Residential inventory decreased as a result of delivery of completed apartments. The average occupancy rate is 90% with the exception of three buildings where vacancy is as yet significant but expected to improve in the coming quarters, which also holds true for retail centres in Romania.
  • GTC SA focuses on cash and cash flow. A slow down on investment activity to EUR 200 million per year (versus approx. EUR 320 million in 2009) in line with market circumstances had been implemented. Lenders, such as the EBRD, extended to GTC SA EUR 100 million in new construction loans for projects in Warsaw, Croatia, Bulgaria and Slovakia. The average interest rate remained unchanged at approx. 6% per annum.
  • During H1-2010, in line with improving market sentiment, GTC SA saw a turnaround in terms of new acquisitions and disposal of assets. A joint venture agreement was signed for the development of a modern shopping centre in one of the most affluent residential districts of Warsaw, Also, GTC SA agreed to sell two office buildings in Warsaw, Nefryt and Topaz, to an international investor.
  • GTC SA's reputation as a developer of high quality assets resulted in conclusion of the largest pre-let office transaction in Poland in 2010, as the entire fourth building (about 13,000 sqm net rentable area) in Platinium Business Park in Warsaw was leased to Aviva Group.
  • In 2011 and 2012 GTC SA plans to complete approximately 250,000 sqm of net office and retail space. In the first half of 2010, completions included office buildings in Katowice, Łódź and Budapest (GTC Metro), whilst for the second half of 2010 shopping centres in Prague and Stara Zagora (Bulgaria) are expected to be completed.
  • Currently, GTC SA holds 517,000 sqm of net rentable office and retail space. As per June 30, 2010, the average yields in the valuation of GTC SA's investment property were:

General Market Developments in China (GTC China)

China's economy continues its strong growth, albeit at a slower pace. China's growth rate slowed to 10.3% in Q2-2010, down from 11.9% in the previous quarter, as the Government made efforts to cool the overheating economy. China's GDP in FY 2009 grew by 9.1%. In order to curb credit growth and combat soaring property prices, the Chinese government enacted tough property policies in April to reduce speculation. Analysts expect property policies will stay tight in H2-2010. Consequently, they have lowered China's growth projection for 2010 to 10.1% from 11.4%. The CPI is expected to rise throughout 2010 by 2.9%. It is expected, however, that China will maintain a moderately loose monetary policy throughout 2010.

Property Market

The fundamentals of China's property industry are strong: supported by strong GDP growth, increase in disposable income, urbanization in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities (where GTC China operates) and higher demand. This will continue to keep demand high for new residential space. Increases in private consumption are driving the need for commercial centres throughout China. The reforms in the capital markets, which will allow financial institutions to invest in the property market, will increase the value of commercial properties in the coming years.

Developments GTC China

GTC China is mainly active in the residential and commercial real estate markets.

  • In Q1 and Q2 of 2010, GTC China signed contracts for the sale of 990 and 921 apartments respectively. This is a significant increase in comparison to apartment sales in Q1 and Q2-2009 of 291 and 472 respectively. In the second quarter of 2010 the number of delivered apartments amounted to 514 versus 172 in Q1-2010. In comparison, in Q2-2009 the number of apartments handed over to buyers was 874 vs. 230 in Q1-2009. The decrease of deliveries in 2010 is due to the relatively low number of sales contracts concluded in 2008, when fewer apartments were sold due to economic measures taken by the government to cool down the economic growth.
  • The Chinese government's current policy will have a negative impact on the sales volume in the second half of the year, though the impact is partly mitigated due to GTC China's strategy:
  • GTC China generally constructs apartments for first time home owners' self use and not for speculators. It is expected that the construction of these apartments will continue to be promoted by the Chinese government.
  • GTC China constructs its projects in phases, following the demand. The number of unsold apartments for which construction starts is limited.
  • In Q1-2009, GTC China commenced the construction of a shopping mall with 34,544 sqm of net rentable area in Chengdu (Western China). It is expected that the shopping mall will be opened in Q4-2010. By the end of June 2010, over 40% of the mall was preleased. Currently, 54% of the mall is preleased and signing of prelease agreements for an additional 17% is pending.

Financial Services (KFS)

Kardan operates in the financial services sector through its 99% holding in KFS, which owns 90% of TBIF (banking and lending) and 40% of TBIH (Insurance and Pension). In July 2010, KFS signed an agreement to sell its shares in TBIH as further described under paragraph 1.3.

TBIF is active in the field of banking, consumer finance, leasing, mortgages and asset management in Russia and Ukraine mainly through its 66% stake in Sovcombank (Russia) and its 63% stake in VAB Bank (Ukraine), and in Romania and Bulgaria.

Revenues 6 in H1-2010 for KFS amounted to EUR 100 in comparison to EUR 67 million over the same period in 2009, out of which EUR 65 million (H1-2009: EUR 35 million) attributable to TBIF and EUR 35 million (H1-2009: EUR 32 million) to TBIH. Over the first half of 2010, KFS's net profit attributable to equity holders of Kardan was break-even, consisting of a net loss of EUR 30 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 25 million) for TBIF and a profit of EUR 30 million for TBIH in comparison to a profit of EUR 15 million over the same period last year.

General Market Developments CEE/CIS

Russia

Economic activity improved in Q2-2010 as a result of a recovery in domestic demand and a pick-up in bank lending. Analysts, however, have reduced growth expectations for H2-2010 (now at 5.3%) from earlier more optimistic expectations. The unemployment rate fell further and real wages have regained most of the crisis fall, but real disposable income remains far below the pre-crisis levels. The fiscal deficit this year will likely turn out to be lower than initially planned by the government due to higher than budgeted oil prices and a faster recovery in economic activity.

$6$ Reference is made to the Segment Information in the Financial Statements, page 21

Banks are gradually starting to expand their loan portfolios again. Recovery in investment, particularly credit-dependent construction, has also begun to catch up. Retail banking, primarily consumer lending, should be the main driver for the sector, while corporate lending growth will be subdued. Contracting net interest margins continue to be the main challenge for Russian banks this year.

Ukraine

Due to a surge in the export-oriented sectors and resumed cooperation with the IMF, the outlook for Ukraine has improved. The IMF's new lending program should substantially ease Ukraine's budget deficit financing pressures for the rest of the year by providing direct budget support and reopening access to other external financing for the country. Consequently, S&P upgraded Ukraine's sovereign rating by one notch to B+. However, two main risks remain: 1) the economy might lose momentum as underlying domestic demand remains weak and 2) implementation of the strict conditions of the IMF program.

After a 15.1% contraction in the Ukraine GDP in 2009, growth has rebounded strongly in H1-2010 on the back of export-oriented sectors benefiting from higher steel prices and a pick-up in activity from Ukraine's main trade partners. The Hryvna strengthened against the Euro. Analysts are concerned though that the strong growth will not be sustained in the coming quarters as steel prices have dropped on concerns of the global recovery slowing down in H2-2010, and the pace of growth in key export markets, EU and Russia, looks likely to be lower in Q3 after an exceptionally strong Q2. The CPI continued to decelerate, with 2010 expectations now at 10%, well below 2009 CPI of 15.9%. Public confidence in the banking system continues to improve leading to growth of deposit taking by local banks. As unemployment remains high, banks' lending is unlikely to pick up meaningfully this vear.

Bulgaria and Romania

In Bulgaria and Romania, where KFS is mostly active in non-banking leasing and consumer finance, the economy remains challenging due to a significant drop in capital inflows and measures taken to reduce fiscal deficits which, on the short term, reduce purchasing power and demand for our products.

Romania has met IMF and EU conditions for continuing the EUR 20 billion bailout program, by cutting public spending, including public sector wages, and raising VAT. Given the weakness of the economy, IMF forecasts 0% growth for GDP in 2010. With the crisis mostly hitting the SME companies, there is still little demand for leasing or consumer financing.

In Bulgaria, the economy has bottomed out in Q4-2009 and has started to improve, with exports expanding at a healthy pace. However, it will not be enough to generate a sustained revival as domestic demand remains weak. Wages and employment are still under pressure. Consequently, there is still very little demand for consumer financing and leasing. GDP is expected to decrease 1% this year and to pick up growth to 1.8% in 2011 due to anticipated growth of net exports.

  • As a result of the improving macroeconomic environment, Sovcom (Kardan's bank in Russia) reported strong H1-2010 operating and net results. The deposit taking and lending have increased compared to December 31, 2009.
  • The loan portfolio of Sovcom before deduction of provisions (gross loan portfolio) in H1-2010 increased by 32% to EUR 515 million in comparison to December 31, 2009, of which 52 % was retail. EUR 61 million of the increase was due to the weakening of the Euro against the Rouble.
  • The non-performing loans overdue for more than 90 days (NPL) decreased from 6.8% as at December 31, 2009 to 6.6% as at June 30, 2010. The downward trend of provisions for bad loans continues: as at June 30, 2010 provisions represented 8.4% of the portfolio whereas this percentage amounted to 13.7% at year end 2009.
  • The outstanding deposits increased by EUR 113 million from EUR 517 million as of December 31, 2009 to EUR 630 million as at June 30, 2010. EUR 75 million of the increase is due to the

weakening of the Euro against the Rouble. The retail deposits count for 81% of the total deposits (December 31, 2009: 78%).

  • As a result of the developments, the loan to deposit ratio as at June 30, 2010 is 82%, in comparison to 75% as at December 31, 2009. The over-liquidity of the bank is partly used to invest in bonds of reputable companies and municipalities.
  • The net profit of Sovcom in H1-2010 amounted to EUR 13.9 million versus a loss of EUR 18.1 million in H1-2009.

VAB Bank

TBIF increased its stake in VAB Bank from 49% to 63% in the first quarter of 2010. Consequently, the balance sheet of VAB Bank is fully consolidated as of March 31, 2010, and the results for the second quarter of 2010 have been fully included in the results for the first half of 2010.

  • In line with the cautious sentiment in the country, the increase in deposits was vastly higher than the increase in loans. In the first half of 2010, deposits showed an increase of 45% to EUR 372 million versus December 31, 2009 (EUR 256 million), whereas the gross loan portfolio in H1-2010 grew with 14% to EUR 606 million in comparison to the EUR 533 million as at December 31, 2009. The weakening of the Euro against the local currency (Hryvna) accounted for a substantial part of the increases. Eliminating the exchange rate impact, the loan portfolio decreased by 4% and deposits increased by 22%. aross
  • Of the total loan portfolio, 19% is overdue for more than 90 days (June 30, 2010), a continuation of the upward trend of the previous quarters (December 31, 2009: 15.5%). The provisions also continued to grow to a level of 18% as of June 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009: 14.6%), evidence to the fact that the economy is still weak.
  • As a result of the developments, the loan to deposit ratio as of June 30, 2010 amounted to 163% in comparison to 208% as at December 31, 2009. In addition to deposits, the loan portfolio is funded through a line of support from the National Bank of Ukraine amounting to approximately EUR 80 million, and a bond amounting to EUR 100 million.
  • The net loss of VAB Bank in H1-2010 amounted to EUR 23 million versus a loss of EUR 19 million in H1-2009. The increase of the loss is mainly due to increase in provisions.

The other financial services activities, which include non-banking leasing and consumer finance (mainly in Romania and Bulgaria), experienced a decrease of portfolios in all lines of business. The main reason for this is the challenging economic situation in those countries.

Insurance and Pension

At the end of 2009, KFS and VIG agreed to a change of control whereby VIG would obtain full control over TBIH earlier than the originally scheduled date of December 31, 2010 (whereas prior to such changes it used to be joint control). This change of control came into effect in June 2010. In July 2010, KFS announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its 40% stake in TBIH to Vienna Insurance Group, pending regulatory approvals.

Net profit attributable to equity holders of Kardan doubled to EUR 30 million in comparison to H1-2009 (EUR 15 million). Due to the change of controlin TBIH, Kardan recorded a profit of EUR 24 million in Q2-2010, and a profit appertaining to a revaluation of a put-option of EUR 7 million in Q1-2010. In the first half of 2009, Kardan recognized a capital gain of EUR 16 million on the sale of part of the activities of TBIH to VIG.

Water Infrastructure (Tahal)

Kardan is active in the infrastructure business and operates as a leading international engineering company, specializing in water-related infrastructure projects and water-related asset ownership through its 100% owned subsidiary Tahal Group International. Projects take place and assets are owned in approximately 40 countries, primarily in China, Africa and Israel.

Tahal Projects engages in two basic types of projects: engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects as well as design projects. Tahal Assets invests in water-related assets such as municipal water systems, desalination plants, waste water treatment plants and hydro power plants, mainly in China. Israel and Turkey. During the development phase these assets, like in real estate, do not generate cash. After completion of the development phase, water is delivered to municipalities and industrial areas on the basis of long term concession rights (twenty to thirty years).

Global Market Developments

The global water infrastructure market continues to be very robust. Population growth and industrial expansion continue to fuel the growing global demand. At the same time, the world's fresh water supply is shrinking due to pollution, draining of underground aquifers and climate change. According to Global Water Intelligence, despite the global economic crisis in 2009, the water market grew over 8.2% y-o-y to a value of nearly EUR 350billion. The water market is expected to continue to grow in developing countries and in China (Tahal's regions of activity) by 10% and 20% over the next several vears versus 3% to 5% in developed countries respectively.

Lack of funding is the main challenge faced by companies bidding for and developing projects. Financial institutions are restrictive in lending due to the deleveraging that is still in process.

Developments Tahal

  • Revenues7 in H1-2010 for Tahal Group International amounted to EUR 82 million in comparison to EUR 64 million over the same period in 2009, out of which EUR 51 million (H1-2009: EUR 40 million) was generated by Tahal Projects and EUR 31 million (H1-2009: EUR 24 million) by Tahal Assets. Net profit over the first half of 2010 attributable to Kardan equity holders amounted to EUR 2 million (H1-2009: break even) for Tahal Projects and to a loss of EUR 1 million for Tahal Projects (equal to the result over the same period last year).
  • Tahal Projects' backlog increased 23% to EUR 223 million from EUR 181 million as at $\bullet$ December 31, 2009. New orders received during the first half of 2010 amounted to EUR 83 million. As most orders are denominated in US Dollars, currently there is a substantial negative impact in the result due to currency translations. The main region that contributed to the growth is Africa.
  • In Q1-2010, the plant in Dazhou (China) became operational. In addition, Tahal Assets won a tender in China for the acquisition of a waste water treatment plant in Xuanhua with a capacity of 120,000 cubic meters per day. The transaction is expected to be closed in the first half of 2011.

Kardan is active in Israel in the Rental and Leasing of Vehicles and Sale of Vehicles segments. Kardan holds a 74% stake in Kardan Israel. It is the intention of Kardan to decrease its holding in company. Israel improve the transparency of the Kardan $t0$

General Market Developments Israel8

Throughout the economic crisis, Israel outperformed most countries in which Kardan is active. Israel's GDP growth rose 4.1% in H1-2010 and is expected to continue its recovery throughout H2-2010 and 2011, driven by private consumption. FY-2010 growth is expected to be 3.7% with only some inflationary pressure. There has been some slowdown in overall economic activity in recent months. But there is still some strong monetary stimulus coming through, and the economy is unlikely to stall in the coming quarters. Accordingly, the Bank of Israel is expected to continue to remove monetary stimulus gradually as it is still concerned about growing external risks, mainly the fiscal crisis unfolding in the Euro-zone and the ongoing slowdown in the US.

Developments of Rental and Leasing of vehicles

Due to the improving general market conditions, both finance availability and second hand vehicle prices improved since Q1-2010.

Developments AVIS Israel

The increase in prices of second hand vehicles and leasing, and a slight increase in the number of cars to be leased led to an increase of revenues of 6% y-o-y to EUR 87 million in H1-2010. In addition, due to lower interest expenses and reduction of the amortization rate of the car fleet from 15% to 14.5%, net profit significantly improved in H1-2010 versus H1-2009.

Sale of vehicles

Developments of sale of vehicles

In light of the improving general market conditions, Israeli automotive sales market increased by 33% in H1-2010 y-o-y (Q2-2010: 36% y-o-y) with approximately 104,000 vehicles being handed over in H1-2010. In this segment, Kardan owns a 30% indirect stake of UMI, the exclusive importer of the core brands of General Motors in Israel; Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac.

First Half 2010 results

The net profit attributable to equity holders of Kardan N.V. amounted to EUR 1 million in the first half of 2010, compared to a loss of EUR 33 million in the same period in 2009.

Real Estate (GTC)

The net results of GTC increased by EUR 14 million to a profit of EUR 2 million in H1-2010 (H1-2009: loss of EUR 12 million) as a result of the following:

  • The profit of the GTC's operating companies net of tax in H1-2010 amounted to EUR 6 million, which is an improvement of EUR 12 million compared to the loss of EUR 6 million in the same period of last year. The main elements of the improved result are:
  • In H1-2010 the total revaluation profits net of tax amounted to EUR 11 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 9 million). GTC China recorded a revaluation profit net of tax of EUR 10 million (H1-2009: nil) on the shopping centre under construction in Chengdu, for which completion is expected in Q4-2010. The profit is the result of the progress in construction and advancing in pre-leasing of the mall. GTC SA booked a revaluation profit net of tax of EUR 3 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 9 million), the first positive revaluation result since Q4-2008. Slightly decreasing yields and improving rents in some of the properties were the drivers for the positive revaluation. In Israel. an impairment loss amounting to EUR 2 million was recognized due to uncertainties with regard to getting building permits for the second phase of the "Holyland" project in Jerusalem (H1-2009: nil).
  • Losses from the operating companies before tax, excluding revaluation results, $\circ$ amounted to EUR 3 million. This was caused by the Chinese operations which delivered a relatively low number of apartments in the first half of 2010.
  • Income taxes other than taxes relating to the revaluation results amounted to EUR 2 million, similar to last year's first six months.
  • Finance expenses and general and administrative expenses on the level of GTC Real Estate Holding, the holding company of the Real Estate division, amounted to EUR 4 million (H1-2009: EUR 5 million).

Financial Services (KFS)

KFS realized a break-even result in H1-2010, a significant improvement compared to the H1-2009 net loss of EUR 10 million. The profit can be explained as follows:

The Banking and Lending segment (TBIF) recorded a net loss of EUR 30 million in H1-2010 versus a net loss of EUR 25 million in H1-2009. The main elements of the results are:

  • The result of the operating companies (excluding provisions) net of tax amounted to a profit of EUR 19 million in H1- 2010 (EUR 21 million in H1-2009).
  • Provisions on the loan portfolio decreased to EUR 27 million in H1-2010 from EUR 43 million in H1-2009, due to lower non-performing loans in Russia resulting from the significant improvement of the economy.
  • Net finance expenses relating to the funding of acquisitions and equity investment of the operational companies, and general and administrative expenses less other income of the holding companies, of this sector amounted to EUR 5 million in H1-2010 (H1-2009: EUR 3 million).
  • In H1-2010. TBIF increased the holding in VAB Bank from 49% into 63%. According to IFRS this transaction is recorded as two transactions: on the one hand the "sale" of the (joint controlled) 49% stake and on the other hand the "acquisition" of (majority controlled) 63% of the shares. The "sale" resulted in the recognition of a net loss amounting to EUR 16 million mainly due to releasing the foreign exchange translation reserve on this investment to the

income statement. In prior years, these translation results, created due to the devaluation of the local currency against the Euro, were already recorded directly in Equity.

The Insurance and Pension segment (TBIH) contributed a profit of EUR 30 million in H1-2010 versus a profit of EUR 15 million in H1-2009. This result can mainly be explained as follows:

  • The net loss of the operating companies in H1-2010 was EUR 1 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 5 million).
  • At the end of 2009. KFS and VIG. the partner in TBIH, agreed that the control over TBIH would be transferred to VIG. Regulatory approvals for this change of control were received in Q2-2010. After June 30, 2010 KFS signed an agreement with VIG to sell its 40% holding in TBIH to VIG for an amount of approximately EUR 126 million. Due to the change of control in TBIH, Kardan recorded a profit of EUR 24 million in H1-2010. In addition, in Q1-2010 a EUR 7 million revaluation profit was realized appertaining to a put-option. In the first half of 2009, Kardan recognized a profit of EUR 3 million due to revaluation of the put option referred to before, and a capital gain of EUR 16 million on the sale of part of the activities of TBIH to VIG.

(Water) Infrastructure (Tahal)

Tahal realized a profit of EUR 1 million in H1-2010 versus a net loss of EUR 1 million in H1-2009. Tahal operates through two segments: Tahal Projects and Tahal Assets.

  • Tahal Projects realized a profit of EUR 2 million (H1-2009: break even). The increase is mainly the outcome of increased revenues to EUR 51 million (+ 29%).
  • The pipeline increased from EUR 181 million as at December 31, 2009 to EUR 223 million as at June 30, 2010; the pipeline does not include the project in Angola with an expected value of EUR 143 million (reference is made to par. 1.2). This project will be added once the first advance payment for the project is received.
  • Tahal Assets realized a net loss of EUR 1 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 1 million). Increased revenues to EUR 31 million (+ 29% versus the first half of 2009) resulted in a higher operating profit off-set by increased finance expenses and tax. In H1-2009, the net result was impacted by a loss on the impairment of assets (EUR 3 million) and capital gain realized on the increase of the share in the Chinese water activities (EUR 2 million).

Rental and Leasing of vehicles

The segment made a profit of EUR 2 million in H1-2010 (H1-2009: loss of EUR 2 million). The increase in second hand vehicle prices contributed to an increase of 7% in revenues in Q1-2010, v-oy. In addition, the net profit significantly improved due to lower interest expenses and reduction of amortization rate of car fleet from 15% to 14.5%.

Sale of Vehicles

In H1-2010, the contribution of UMI (General Motors franchiser in Israel) to the profit for equity holders of Kardan was EUR 4 million (H1-2009 EUR 2 million). In H1-2010, revenues increased by 27% y-o-y due to improved market conditions. Gross profitability improved from 15.2% to 17.4%.

Other

Other activities include investments that are relatively immaterial ("Communications and Technology", "Import and Sale of white goods" and "El Har" which performs building construction works in Israel), general and administrative expenses, and finance expenses of Kardan N.V. and Kardan Israel Ltd. The total loss of these activities amounted to EUR 8 million (H1-2009: loss of EUR 10 million).

Due to the sale of an (indirect) stake of approximately 33% in Teledata Networks Ltd, Kardan realized a capital gain of EUR 6 million in H1-2010.

The loss derives mainly from general and administrative expenses and finance expenses related to the funding of the equity investments in subsidiaries of Kardan Israel and Kardan amounting to EUR 17 million in H1-2010 versus EUR 9 million in H1-2009. Due to the revaluation of a forward transaction regarding Kardan N.V.'s Israeli Shekel denominated debentures that were purchased through a subsidiary that did not qualify for hedge accounting and the accounting implications of the hedging transaction, Kardan N.V. recorded in H1-2010 additional EUR 5 million finance expenses compared to H1-2009.

Second Quarter 2010 results

In the second quarter of 2010, the net profit attributable to equity holders significantly increased to EUR 14 million against a loss of EUR 15 million in the second quarter of 2009.

In Q2-2010 the Real Estate division recorded a loss of EUR 1 million, an improvement of EUR 8 million compared to the loss of EUR 9 million in the same period of last year.

The improvement mainly stems from the positive revaluation result net of tax of EUR 5 million versus a revaluation loss net of tax of EUR 10 million in Q2-2009. From the revaluation profits, EUR 2 million were recorded in GTC China and EUR 3 million in GTC SA.

In Q2-2010 the operating companies lost EUR 3 million (excluding revaluation results after tax) and the finance and general and administrative expenses of the holding company amounted to EUR 2 million.

The Banking and Lending segment lost EUR 13 million in Q2-2010, slightly higher than the loss of EUR 11 million in the same period last year. The provisions for bad loans halved in Q2-2010 to EUR 11 million from EUR 23 million in Q2-2009. At the same time, however, the profit made on investment in bonds reduced in Q2-2010 compared to Q2-2009 due to stabilizing bond prices.

The net profit from the Insurance and Pension segment increased from EUR 17 million in Q2-2009 to EUR 23 million in Q2-2010. In Q2-2010, a profit of EUR 24 million stems from the change of control in TBIH. In Q2-2009, the main contribution to the profit was a capital gain realized on the sale of part of the insurance and pension activities to VIG.

The (Water) Infrastructure division realized a net profit of EUR 1 million in Q2-2010 compared to a loss of EUR 3 million in Q2-2009 when an amount of EUR 3 million was lost due to impairment of one of the assets.

The net result attributable to equity holders of Rental and Leasing of vehicles was break-even in Q2-2010, whereas in Q2-2009 a small loss of EUR 1 million was reported, mainly due to lower finance expenses.

Sale of vehicles realized a net profit attributable to equity holders of EUR 2 million in the second quarter of 2010 (Q2-2009: break-even) due to an increase of the gross profit resulting from increased deliveries of new vehicles by 15% to 3,425 units, and gross margin improvement. Higher finance expenses and general and administrative expenses partly off-set the higher gross profit.

The "other activities" contributed a net profit of EUR 2 million versus a loss of EUR 8 million in the second quarter of 2009. The main contributor to the net profit in Q2-2010 is the capital gain on the sale of Teledata Networks Ltd. Finance expenses and general and administrative expenses amounted to EUR 8 million (Q2-2009 EUR 6 million).

Risk management and Israeli SOX $1.7$

1.7.1 Risk Management

The Company has three main fields of activities (divisions) divided into seven segments. Each sector is managed by an executive director or board of directors which are responsible for managing its market sector risks. In addition, in each operating company a senior manager is responsible for managing its risks. The director responsible for risk management of Kardan is Mr. Walter van Damme. a member of the Management Board.

The annual report 2009 describes the main risks relating to Kardan's strategy, such as interest rate and currency risks, capital availability and financial market risks etc. These risks are deemed incorporated and repeated in this report by reference.

Although economic indicators in various markets show positive signs, 2010 will still be challenging. The future developments could possibly have additional adverse economic implications possibly leading to a further slowdown in the world economy in general. These global economic factors could possibly have future negative consequences for the results of the Group, its equity base, the value of its assets, its ability to comply with the covenants agreed upon with lenders and its ability to raise financing, as well as the terms of such financing.

Starting Q2-2009 the worldwide capital markets have stabilized; improvement in funding as well as some other positive indicators. Nevertheless, due to concerns regarding the economic situation in some countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal which were reflected in their credit downgrading as well as recent declines in the worldwide capital markets starting Q2-2010, there is uncertainty that the above mentioned economic improvements are signaling the end of the global economic crisis.
