Highlights of the Q4 2015 results

Net Asset Value (NAV)

• Net Asset value was EUR 0.44 (NOK 4.10) per share at the end of Q4 2015, a 5.8% decrease compared to the end of Q3 2015. As of 4Q 2014, NAV was EUR 0.48 (NOK 4.04).

Valuation

• Knight Frank Romania has conducted its annual valuation. The valuation resulted in a 3.1% reduction in the property value on a comparable plot basis as of the end of 2015.

Operational highlights

• No further sales were completed by the Company during Q4 2015. The Company finalised the 1 year extension of the Alpha Bank loan, currently due on 29 November 2016. The Company holds an option to extend the loan another year to 29 November 2017.

Financial Results

• Net Result was a negative EUR 1,881,000 in 4Q 2015 compared to negative EUR 1,469, 000 in 4Q 2014. The loss is mainly explained by a currency effect due to a depreciation of RON by 2.3% against the EUR during the quarter and a reduction in the property values as a result of the new valuation report. . Operating cash flow for the quarter was minus EUR 64,000 compared to minus EUR 145,000 in the same period last year.

Operational highlights

  • The Company continues to work on upgrading the planning status for its plots and has fully revised the particular marketing strategy applied to each plot.
  • For Mamaia North, the Company is pursuing the Zonal Planning approval. All documents and licenses have been presented to the County Council for authorization. It is expected that the final approval will be delivered in the next 2 months.
  • For Lakeside and Oasis the new marketing strategy will be split in small plots suitable for house building and small blocks.
  • In the case of CenterPoint, the Company will pursue a similar strategy to split it into smaller plots, in this case suitable for warehouses and industrial use.
  • The Company successfully refinanced the Alpha Bank loan in the quarter. The Company holds another option to extend the loan one year

The Company expects to sell more assets in 2016

Romanian Macro development

  • Romania's GDP increased by 3.7% in 2015. The economy is well balanced with low and stable interest rates and low and falling inflation. Economy analysts forecast robust growth for 2016 with 3.7% driven by strong domestic demand and increased export.
  • Following NBR's policy rate cut in May to a historically low level of 1.75 per cent, the low level of interest rates will continue to bolster domestic demand in 2016. While a deterioration of global investor sentiment may hinder growth prospects in the near term, medium-term growth prospects in Romania are favorable, reflecting the diversified economy, large market size and significant scope for convergence within the EU.

Romania Real Estate Update

  • The real estate market gradually recovers. The total commercial transaction volume decreased in 2015 but still represents a liquid market. The most active real estate segment is industrial properties. Residential apartment prices trended upwards. The land market in Constanta has continued to stay flat with limited volume. However, residential apartment prices increased and put expectations for a positive land market development for 2016.
  • The new law that are debated in the Parliament which will enable residents that foreclose to deliver the property to the lender without further debt obligations, is seen as a major threat to the recovery of the residential market. The law will probably force banks to significantly increase the equity share of home purchases, reducing the number of households able to participate in the property market.

Main focus areas going forward

  • RomReal expects the recent positive development in the macroeconomic environment will reflect in a continued improvement of the real estate market in 2016.
  • In addition to sale of plots, the Company seeks to add incremental value to the individual plots during the period in which they are part of the Land Bank up until a potential sale is completed.
  • The Company expects further asset disposals at satisfactory prices in the quarters to come. Management notes that the number of inquiries from potential buyers is at its highest since the Company started to market its assets.
