Summary

This last six months there has been a major focus on Russia's involvement in various political situations, and especially the Ukraine crisis and the situation in Syria. EU and USA have imposed sanctions against Russia because of its role in Ukraine. In recent weeks these sanctions have been strengthened which causes a higher uncertainty which could potentially affect the rental market for commercial property. It is unclear what impact the political situation could have on Storm Real Estate's investments, but the Board considers that this gives a higher risk profile for the company's exposure to Russia than before.The Board is working on measures to reduce risks related to Russia.

The company had a Total Comprehensive Income of 1.0 million for the first six months 2014, compared with -1.7 million for the same period in 2013.

Income from investment property in Russia was 6.8 million for the first six months (2013: 6.3 million), while operating costs were 1.5 million (2013: 1,4 million). This resulted in a net operating income from the properties of 5.2 million, an increase of 0.2 million from the same period in 2013 (5.0 million).

The Company had an unrealized increased value on the investment in TK Development A/S of 5.9 million in the first six months, after the share price rose by approx. 48% from 6.40 DKK per share to 9.45 DKK per share. Storm Real Estate has acquired additional shares in TK Development for 0.9 million during the period, and now owns 11.1% of the shares. The value of the investment as at 30 June was 18.8 million.

From other investments in shares and funds, mainly Storm Bond Fund, it is recorded a value increase of a total of 0.9 million. We have sold shares for 4.0 million during the first six months in 2014. The carrying value of these investments as at 30 June was 13.1 million.

Borrowing costs amounted to 1.5 million during the first 6 months, compared with 1.5 million in the same period last year. Of this, 1.0 million was loan interest (2013: 1.0 million) and 0.5 million was net interest on interest rate swaps (2013: 0.5 million).

Property values are adjusted down by 5.4 million during the first 6 months in accordance with valuations from an independent valuer, Cushman & Wakefield. This is related to a somewhat weaker market for commercial property in Moscow and St Petersburg. The company's expectation of potential lower rental income is taken into consideration in the valuation, which is therefore reduced accordingly.

In accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS), this amount are to be split over two separate posts, explained by the following:

Our Russian subsidiaries which own the buildings have Russian roubles as functional currency. Under 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, mill USD 6M 2014 6M 2013
Over Income Statement - 2,1 + 8,8
Translation Differences over Other
Comprehensive Income
- 3,3 - 8,5
Sum Value Adjusted Properties - 5,4 + 0,3

Statement of financial position

The property values are 97.7 million in accordance with valuations from an independent valuer, Cushman & Wakefield.

The company had 18.8 million invested in TK Development A/S which is classified as a long-term investment. In addition, the company had 13.1 million in short-term shares, bonds and funds as at 30 June 2014 and the cash balance was 3.1 million.

The group has made provisions for 8.8 million in deferred tax. This is largely deferred tax linked to value changes from the investment properties in Russia post acquisition. Deferred tax may become payable on a potential realization of the buildings, while a potential realization of shares in the property-owning subsidiaries could result in lower or no taxation.

The company's NAV per share measured in NOK as at 30 June was NOK 24.83, after distribution of dividends of NOK 1.60 per share in May 2014.

Except for the risks and uncertainties related to Russia as described above, the business risks are roughly the same as those described in the company's annual report for 2013

Market commentary Russia

Macro snapshot

Q2 2014 was another challenging period for business in Russia as a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as well as further turbulence in Syria. These factors have obviously dampened optimism both in the real estate markets and the economy as a whole.

The effect of sanctions against Russia is still unclear, but an economic downturn is evident. The Russian Government has downgraded the outlook for economic growth repeatedly. In the latest communication from the Ministry of Economic Trade and Development the expected growth for 2014 is a modest 0.5%. In the previous quarter the expectation was 2.5%. The outlook appears to be somewhat better, with an expected annual growth rate of approx.2% over the next years.

Inflation has been increasing during the last quarter and according to latest available data (June 2014) inflation is approx.7.8%. The expectation is that inflation will decline during Q3 2014. The Russian rouble has increased somewhat during the period. From a low point in the beginning of March to the end of June the rouble rose 10% against the EUR and 8% against the USD.

Unemployment continues to be low at just under 7%, and is expected to remain stable at this level. Turnover in retail trade continues to be good with an increase of approx. 1.9%, which is higher than GDP growth.

The real estate market

Approximately 2.4 billion USD was invested in commercial real estate in Russia during the first 6 months 2014 While most of the bulk was invested in Q1, only approx. 273 million USD was invested in Q2. The expected total volume for 2014 is 5 billion USD, which is significantly lower than previous years. This figure can be revised during Q3 2014, depending on the global macroeconomic situation and the ongoing political turmoil.

Investment activity is more concentrated around Moscow than ever. 90% of the total investment volume was in Moscow during the first 6 months and of which c.70% was in the office segment. Foreign investment has fallen significantly. About 12% came from foreign investors during the first 6 months 2014.

Vacancy continued to rise in Moscow in the quarter and the vacancy in Class A and Class B office buildings are now respectively 23.7% and 12.1%. Pressure on rental rates in Class A buildings have influenced rental rates, and it is registered a decrease of 6.8%. Rents for Class B office buildings were stable.

Shares in TK Development A/S

Storm Real Estate hold 11.1% of the shares in TK Development A/S at 30 June 2014, to a value of 102.7 million DKK (18,8 million USD).

We believe it is fair to say that the restructuring of TK Development A/S has begun to bear fruits. The sale of 75% of the Fashion Arena Outlet (Czech Republic) for 71.5 million EUR, announced in Q1 2014, is now completed.

TK Development published its Q1 report on the 13 June 2014 (TK's accounting year ends 31 January).

The company reported a positive result with 12.7 million DKK (2,3 million USD) before tax, excluding discontinued operations, compared to a loss of 15.2 million DKK (2,8 million USD) during the same period last year.

The company reported a profit of 7.3 million DKK (1,3 million USD) this quarter, after tax, compared with a loss of 16.2 million DKK (3.0 million USD) during the same period 2013/14. The equity ratio of the improved slightly from 46.4% to 49.4% during the quarter.

The construction work at project (JV with Heitman) in Jelenia Gora in Poland started in May. Leases for approx. 51% of the premises is signed, and opening in scheduled for the end of 2015.

After the reporting date TK Development has entered into an agreement regarding the sale of building rights for approx. 7,200 sq. meters in Copenhagen to a private investor and profits from the sale will be booked in the next quarter.

NAV per share was largely unchanged at DKK 15.8 per share. By comparison, the marked price of the company as of 30 June 2014 DKK 9.45, representing a discount of approximately 40% of book value. Storm Real Estate's average cost is DKK 8.00 per share at 30 June 2014.
