The restructuring of Park Street Nordicom A/S is making progress, and merger of

The Board of Directors of Park Street Nordicom A/S today discussed and approved
the company's Interim report 2017, which contained the following:
Park Street Nordicom's restructuring process
In 2017, Park Street Nordicom continued recent years' efforts to implement
financial restructuring. In the first half of 2017, this resulted in agreements
with key financial creditors regarding refinancing of existing loan facilities
into long-term debt. As part of the restructuring plan, the Group's company
structure has been simplified by merging all active subsidiaries into Park
Street Nordicom A/S.
The overall purpose of the restructuring plan is to re-establish Park Street
Nordicom and create the financial foundations for future growth in the company.
Next phase in the restructuring plan is recapitalisation involving capital
injection in form of conversion of debt into capital and cash injection, which
is expected to be executed according to the plan.
The period in outline
-- The period produced a profit of DKK 52.6 million including special items of
DKK 55.4 million (1st half of 2016: DKK 2.8 million).
-- During the period, Park Street Nordicom achieved EBVAT (earnings before
value adjustments and tax) of DKK 2.1 million (1st half of 2016: DKK 11.2
million). The EBVAT achieved is thus DKK 9.1 million lower than the
corresponding amount achieved in 2016.
-- Compared with the 1st half of 2016, the EBVAT achieved was affected by both
positive and negative factors, including the increase in financial cost at
DKK 9.5 million and lower corporate overheads DKK 2.1 million primarily
other external cost.
-- The vacancy rate (calculated by rental value) in investment properties was
11.9% in the 1st half of 2017 against 11.6% in the 1st half of 2016 and
thereby at the same level.
-- During the period, Park Street Nordicom had limited major property sales:
-- Randlevvej, Odder (2 plots).
-- A total of DKK 1.8 million in fair value adjustments to investment
properties and liabilities is included in the income statement (1st half of
2016: DKK -0.5 million).
-- The Group's equity was positive at DKK 19.6 million at 30 June 2017 (31
December 2016: DKK -33.1 million).
-- Park Street Nordicom's total cash flow in the 1st half of 2017 was DKK
-60.9 million (1st half of 2016: DKK 27.3 million), primarily utilised to
repay financial debt.
The management of Park Street Nordicom reduce its expectations for EBVAT to DKK
25 - 35 million in 2017 from previous DKK 30 – 40 million, in view of the
recent delays in implementation of financial restructuring and refinancing
plans.
