Raphaël Tréguier Chief Executive Officer
During the first half of 2017, Cegereal's rental activity was active with new leases signed for 11,300 sq.m of office space.
Huawei strengthened its presence in the heart of the TMT Valley by leasing an additional area of 6,500 sq.m in the Arcs de Seine building for a minimum term of 6 years (effective from July 3rd, 2017 for 5,000 sq.m), making a total of 11,700 sq.m. RT France, the international news channel network, also joined the campus, signing a firm 9-year lease for 1,800 sq.m.
GE Capital will vacate the space it occupies in the Europlaza building at the end of August, while at the same time My Money bank will take up an additional 3,000 sq.m. In 2018, the vacated area (17% of the rental space) will form a separate complex of over 8,000 sq.m in the upper floors of the building at La Défense, Europe's largest business center.
The physical occupancy rate corresponds to the percentage of premises for which the Company receives rent within the framework of a lease agreement at June 30, 2017.
The financial occupancy rate corresponds to the percentage of premises for which the Company receives rent or lease termination indemnities at June 30, 2017.
Unless otherwise specified, the occupancy rates referred to in this report correspond to physical occupancy rates.

| Net rental income | 22,344 | Net rental income corresponds to rental income for the period (EUR 25,975k) and rental expenses rebilled to lessees (EUR 10,675k), less building-related costs (EUR 14,306k). During the first half of 2017, net rental income rose 1.64% compared to net rental income for 2016 prorated over six months, mainly as a result of the departure of Boursorama (50% rent increase, and various payments in a total amount of EUR 2.43m) which was offset by the acquisition of Hanami. |
| Administrative costs | (2,518) Administrative costs chiefly comprise fees, insurance premiums and personnel costs. |

Debt stood at EUR 586m at June 30, 2017, versus EUR 584m at end-2016.
Prothin refinanced in full the credit agreement of July 26, 2012, signed with (i) Aareal Bank AG, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank Aktiengesellschaft, Bayerische Landesbank, and Landesbank Berlin AG, and (ii) Cegereal, which represented a principal amount of EUR 405m (the "Initial Loan").
In this respect, on July 26, 2016, Prothin entered into a credit agreement (the "Prothin Credit Agreement") with Aareal Bank AG, Natixis, and Natixis Pfandbriefbank AG (the "Banks") for a principal amount of EUR 525m, which enabled it in particular to pay back the Initial Loan and finance certain work and expenditures. The initial due date is December 15, 2021.
The Prothin Credit Agreement provides for mandatory early repayment in the event of a change in control of Prothin and/or Cegereal.
Under the Prothin Credit Agreement, should Prothin make any (x) voluntary early repayments of all or part of the outstanding loan, or (y) mandatory, in certain cases, early repayments of all or part of the outstanding loan, or cancel all or part of the available amount, Prothin will have to pay, in addition to breakage costs, an early repayment indemnity equal to:
No early repayment indemnity will be payable in the case of amounts repaid as of the third anniversary of the date of signature.
Following the acquisition of Hanami Rueil SCI, Cegereal entered into a credit agreement for EUR 100m on December 15, 2016. The loan matures on December 15, 2021.
The main guarantees given in the credit agreements are as follows:
Under the Hanami Rueil Credit Agreement, should Hanami Rueil make any (x) voluntary early repayments of all or part of the outstanding loan (with the exception, where applicable, of any amortizing payments made in accordance with the Credit Agreement), or (y) mandatory early repayments of all or part of the outstanding loan, Hanami Rueil will have to pay, in addition to breakage costs, an early repayment indemnity equal to:
No early repayment indemnity will be payable in respect of this article in the case of amounts repaid as of the third anniversary of the date of signature and any early repayment indemnities payable in relation to amounts repaid following a change in control will be reduced by fifty percent (50%).
Cegereal's financial position at June 30, 2017 satisfies the various limits that could affect the conditions set out in the different credit agreements relating to interest and early repayment clauses.
The table below presents the main financial ratios set out in the credit agreements.
| June 30, 2017 |
Dec. 31, 2016 |
Dec. 31, 2015 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing ratio | |||
| Non-current borrowings/ adjusted net assets |
51.2% | 52.1% | 43.0% |
| Interest coverage ratio | |||
| Projected net rental income/ interest expenses |
468% | 513% | 298% |
Projected net rental income designates total projected net rental income for the following 12 months, excluding taxes, less rental income where the risk of non-recovery has been established (notice given, unpaid rent) and operating expenses rebillable to lessees and operating expenses not rebillable to lessees.
Operating expenses comprise expenses (including recoverable expenses) including tax incurred in operating, upkeeping, maintaining, running, managing and administering the buildings (in particular, compensation paid under the asset management agreement and the property management agreement) and administrative expenses incurred by the borrower.
There are no plans to put in place other investment financing with respect to which the management bodies have made firm commitments.
As of the date of this interim financial report, the Company's investment capacity is estimated to be in the region of EUR 100m. Provided that the Company maintains a debt structure as described above, it will quickly have the investment capacity to implement its industrial and commercial policies. In the event that the Company fails to identify any investment opportunities that correspond to the risk/return profiles it is seeking, it could consider distributing these amounts to its shareholders.
The indicators published by Cegereal are aligned with the recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), of which Cegereal is a member. EPRA's role is to promote, develop and represent the publicly listed real estate sector.
EPRA notably publishes its "Best Practice Recommendations" (BPRs) whose purpose is to enhance transparency, uniformity and comparability of financial reporting by real estate companies.

The Group, made up of Cegereal SA and its subsidiaries Prothin SAS and the OPPCI K Rueil, did not experience any change in its operating environment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.
The Group did not acquire or dispose of any real estate assets during the year ended December 31, 2016.
During the first half of 2017, Cegereal's rental activity was active with new leases signed for 11,300 sq.m of office space.
Huawei strengthened its presence in the heart of the TMT Valley by leasing an additional area of 6,500 sq.m in the Arcs de Seine building for a minimum term of 6 years (effective from July 3rd, 2017 for 5,000 sq.m), making a total of 11,700 sq.m. RT France, the international news channel network, also joined the campus, signing a firm 9-year lease for 1,800 sq.m.
GE Capital will vacate the space it occupies in the Europlaza building at the end of August, while at the same time My Money bank will take up an additional 3,000 sq.m. In 2018, the vacated area (17% of the rental space) will form a separate complex of over 8,000 sq.m in the upper floors of the building at La Défense, Europe's largest business center.
The physical occupancy rate corresponds to the percentage of premises for which the Company receives rent within the framework of a lease agreement at June 30, 2017.
The financial occupancy rate corresponds to the percentage of premises for which the Company receives rent or lease termination indemnities at June 30, 2017.
Unless otherwise specified, the occupancy rates referred to in this report correspond to physical occupancy rates.
The table below shows the physical and financial occupancy rates for the Group's portfolio over the past three years.
| Cegereal portfolio | June 30, 2017 |
Dec. 31, 2016 |
Dec. 31, 2015 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical occupancy rate | 90% | 87% | 93% |
| Financial occupancy rate | 90% | 87% | 93% |
The physical and financial occupancy rates for each property at June 30, 2017 can be analyzed as follows:
| June 30, 2017 | Europlaza | Arcs de Seine |
Rives de Bercy |
Hanami Campus |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical occupancy rate |
84% | 87% | 100.0% | 92% | 90% |
| Financial occupancy rate |
84% | 87% | 100.0% | 92% | 90% |
At June 30, 2017, the occupancy rate of Arcs de Seine includes the surface areas made available in advance to Huawei (1,500 sq.m) and RT France.
For the purposes of comparison, the financial information presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 includes:
the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016; and
the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) applicable to accounting periods ended June 30, 2017, as adopted by the European Union (hereafter referred to as "IFRS").
Dividend payments are decided by the General Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of Cegereal SA's financial statements prepared in accordance with French GAAP and not on the basis of the IFRS financial statements.
In addition, Cegereal is required to comply with certain dividend payment obligations in accordance with its election for tax treatment as an SIIC (see Note 2.8).
The interim consolidated financial statements were adopted by the Board of Directors on July 20, 2017.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) and with the interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the European Union at June 30, 2017 and applicable at that date. For the purposes of comparison, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 were also prepared according to the same standards.
For the fiscal years presented, the standards and interpretations adopted in the European Union and applicable to the Group are similar to the standards and interpretations effective for these periods as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Group's financial statements are therefore prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations, as published by the IASB.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention, except in the case of investment property, financial instruments and assets held for sale, which are carried at fair value in accordance with IAS 40, IAS 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 5.
This interim financial report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The new published standards, amendments and interpretations effective for accounting periods beginning on or after June 30, 2017 have no impact on the Company's first-half 2017 interim consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with the amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements", aimed at complementing the financial information relating to the statement of comprehensive net income and gains and losses recognized directly in equity, items in "Other comprehensive income" in the statement of comprehensive income may be grouped into sub-totals depending on whether or not they are subsequently reclassified.
The Group has elected not to early adopt any IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations adopted by the European Union but only effective for subsequent accounting periods and which would have an impact on the Group's financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include all entities controlled or jointly controlled by the Group, or over which it exercises significant influence. In determining its ownership interest, the Group considers any potential voting rights giving access to additional voting rights, provided that these rights are currently exercisable or convertible.
All entities controlled by the Group are fully consolidated. Control is presumed to exist when the Group has the power to manage the relevant activities, is exposed to or is entitled to the variable returns generated by such activities, and has the power to influence such returns.
At June 30, 2017, no entities were jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the Group.
At June 30, 2017, the scope of consolidation included the following entities:
| Siren no. | % control | % interest | Basis of consolidation | Period taken into account | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cegereal SA | 422,800,029 | 100% | 100% | Full consolidation | January 1 to June 30, 2017 |
| Prothin SAS | 533,212,445 | 100% | 100% | Full consolidation | January 1 to June 30, 2017 |
| K RUEIL OPPCI | 814,319,513 | 100% | 100% | Full consolidation | January 1 to June 30, 2017 |
| HANAMI RUEIL SCI | 814,254,512 | 100% | 100% | Full consolidation | January 1 to June 30, 2017 |
All entities included in the scope of consolidation close their accounts at December 31.
Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. A business combination is where the acquirer acquires a controlling interest in one or several businesses. IFRS 3 defines a business as a combination of the three following elements:
In accordance with IFRS 3, the cost of a business combination reflects the acquisition-date fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed or incurred and equity instruments issued in exchange for the acquiree.
On the first-time consolidation of a company, the impact of consolidation, representing the difference between the acquisition cost of the shares and their share in the fair value of the assets and liabilities transferred, is recorded as:
No fair value adjustments or goodwill were recognized on the first-time consolidation of Prothin SAS as the company was created by Cegereal SA on June 22, 2011.
The OPPCI K Rueil and Hanami Rueil SCI entered the scope of consolidation with effect from December 15, 2016. The acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination within the meaning of IFRS 3 and is therefore treated as the acquisition of a group of assets. The acquisition cost relating to the group of assets has been allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in proportion to their respective fair value at the acquisition date. No goodwill has been recognized.
Within the framework of IFRS 8, the Group has not identified different operating segments insofar as its assets solely comprise commercial real estate located in the Paris area.
IFRS 8 states that operating segments may be aggregated if they are similar in each of the following respects:
Consequently, the Group did not have significant additional disclosure requirements as a result of applying IFRS 8.
Property held under long-term operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, and not occupied by the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property includes owned land and buildings.
On acquisition, investment property is measured at the acquisition price including transaction costs (legal fees, transfer duties, etc.) in accordance with IAS 40.
After initial recognition, investment property is remeasured at fair value. As a result, no depreciation or impairment is recognized on investment property. Fair value is measured net of registration tax by an external real estate valuer at the end of each reporting period. The methodology used by the external real estate valuer is described below in Note 2.4.
Subsequent expenditure may only be allocated to the assets' carrying amount when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the property will flow to the Group, and the cost of the property can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred. Changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The fair value of property is measured by an external real estate valuer twice a year in accordance with the benchmark treatment in IAS 40.
In accordance with the recommendations of the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR) of July 2009, the Group appointed real estate valuation firms BNP Paribas Real Estate, Catella Valuation and Cushman & Wakefield to appraise four commercial properties.
It is common practice to change real estate valuer every three years in order to obtain a new analysis of an asset's qualities and market value. In the first half of 2016, the Company appointed BNP Paribas Real Estate and Catella Valuation to replace DTZ Valuation France as external real estate valuers for (i) Europlaza and Rives de Bercy, and (ii) Arcs de Seine, respectively. Cushman & Wakefield is the external real estate valuer of the Hanami property acquired in December 2016.
When preparing the financial statements, management and the external real estate valuer are required to use certain estimates and assumptions that are likely to affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses reported in the financial statements and in the accompanying notes. The Group and its real estate valuer are required to review these estimates and appraisals on an ongoing basis in light of past experience and other factors deemed of material importance with regard to economic conditions. The amounts reported in future financial statements may differ from these estimates as a result of changes in assumptions or circumstances.
The values of investment property measured by the real estate valuers represent the best estimates at June 30, 2017, based on recent market observations and valuation methods commonly used within the profession. These estimates are not intended to anticipate any market changes.
The valuer calculated the fair value of the real estate assets in accordance with the professional standards set out in the French Real Estate Valuation Charter. The market value of the property is measured using its estimated rental value and the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and capitalization methods.
The rental value is determined by comparing the rental value per square meter of the most recent transactions involving properties of similar type and location, in order to determine a market value per square meter for the different types of premises (offices, staff cafeterias, car parks, etc.). This rental value is subject to a reversion rate to take account of the specific features of the real estate assets.
The results of applying two traditional methods (the DCF method and the capitalization method) are combined to estimate the market value.
A discount is applied to the gross value to take account of transfer duties and registration costs, which are estimated at the rate of 7.50%.
This method consists of discounting the annual cash flows generated by the asset, including the assumed resale at the end of a defined ownership period. Cash flows are defined as the total amount of all of the asset's revenues, net of expenses not rebillable to lessees.
This method consists of capitalizing the annual income generated by an asset with a capitalization rate defined by reference to the market. The rate used reflects the quality of the financial covenants as well as the long-term risks related to the property.
Cegereal applies IFRS 13, which defines fair value as the price that would be received in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or paid in an orderly transaction to transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions.
IFRS 13 uses a three-level fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used as a basis to measure the assets and liabilities concerned.
The three levels are as follows:
Level 1: fair value corresponds to the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2: fair value is determined, either directly or indirectly, using observable inputs;
Level 3: fair value is determined directly using unobservable inputs.
The categorization of the Group's investment property in accordance with IFRS 13 is presented in Note 5.1.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 39.
Loans and receivables include the non-current portion of the economic benefits of the lease, rent-free periods, rent discounts, the portion of fitting-out costs incurred by the lessee and borne by the lessor, and the lease premiums paid to lessees in accordance with IAS 17 and interpretation SIC 15.
Trade accounts receivable consist of accrued amounts receivable from lessees. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provisions for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable is set aside when there is objective evidence that certain amounts are no longer recoverable. The amount of this provision corresponds to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of future cash flows estimated using the effective interest method. Impairment provisions are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
As rent is usually billed in advance, trade accounts receivable consist of rents billed in respect of the following period.
The timing difference between the billing date and the end of the reporting period is eliminated by recognizing rent billed for future periods and not yet due under "Prepaid revenue" (see Note 5.17).
After initial recognition, non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Cegereal has not opted for hedge accounting. Derivative financial instruments are therefore measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with any gains or losses recognized in income.
Cegereal applies IFRS 13, which defines fair value as the price that would be received in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or paid in an orderly transaction to transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions (see Note 2.4).
The categorization of the Group's derivative financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 13 is presented in Note 5.13.
A hybrid financial instrument is a non-derivative financial contract (host contract) containing one (or more) derivative instrument(s) (embedded derivative(s)).
When the embedded derivative is not closely related to the host contract, it is accounted for separately. Otherwise, it is accounted for as part of the host contract.
Hybrid instruments are measured:
The Group has not chosen to use the fair value option to measure hybrid financial instruments.
Ordinary shares are classified in shareholders' equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to new share issues are shown in shareholders' equity as a deduction, net of tax, from additional paid-in capital.
On August 29, 2006, Cegereal SA entered into a liquidity agreement with Exane BNP Paribas. This agreement complies with the standard-type contract of the French Association of Investment Firms (Association Française des Entreprises d'Investissement – AFEI) and the AFEI code of ethics of March 14, 2005 which was approved by the French financial markets authority (Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF) on March 22, 2005.
Under the terms of this agreement, Exane BNP Paribas may buy and sell Cegereal SA shares on behalf of Cegereal SA within the limits imposed by law and the authorizations granted by the Board of Directors.
Within the scope of these liquidity agreements, the Company owned 13,899 treasury shares (representing 0.10% of its total issued shares) for a total amount of EUR 444k at June 30, 2017.
In accordance with IAS 32, these treasury shares are shown as a deduction from consolidated equity based on their acquisition cost (net of directly attributable transaction costs) or their initial carrying amount in the consolidated statement of financial position. Any capital gains or losses arising on the disposal of these shares are eliminated in the statement of comprehensive income and recognized against consolidated equity.
Cash allocated to the liquidity agreement and not invested in Cegereal SA shares at the end of the reporting period is stated in "Other operating receivables".
Cegereal SA has elected for the preferential tax treatment granted to listed real estate investment companies (Sociétés d'Investissement Immobilières Cotées – SIICs) in accordance with Article 208 C of the French Tax Code (Code général des impôts). This election took effect on April 1, 2006. Prothin SAS, Cegereal SA's subsidiary, also benefits from this preferential tax treatment.
Owing to this tax treatment, no corporate income tax is payable directly or indirectly through income from subsidiaries in respect of the real estate leasing business and no deferred taxes were recognized at June 30, 2017. Similarly, no tax was payable on capital gains arising on disposals of real estate or equity interests in subsidiaries eligible for the same tax treatment.
In addition, K Rueil is a SPPICAV and is therefore not subject to corporate income tax. Hanami Rueil SCI is transparent for tax purposes, within the meaning of Article 8 of the French Tax Code.
Terms and conditions and impact of tax treatment as an SIIC
b) SIICs that have elected for preferential tax treatment are exempted from paying corporate income tax on the portion of their income resulting from:
the lease of buildings, provided that 95% of this income is distributed before the end of the fiscal year following the year in which the income is generated;
In the event that they choose to leave the SIIC tax regime at any time, the SIICs and their subsidiaries must add back to their taxable earnings for the period the portion of their income available for distribution at the end of said period which results from previously tax-exempt amounts.
IAS 19 requires entities to recognize as expenses all current or future benefits or compensation granted by an entity to its employees or to third parties over the period during which the rights to such benefits or compensation vest.
The Group only has three employees and therefore considers that its employee benefit commitments in respect of defined benefit plans are not material. Consequently, the amount of its employee benefit commitments was not assessed at June 30, 2017.
On initial recognition, bank borrowings are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs.
They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The long-term portion (due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period) is classified in non-current borrowings and debt, while the short-term portion (due in less than 12 months) is classified in current borrowings and debt.
When the agreement contains derivative instruments, it is accounted for as described in the section on "Hybrid financial instruments" in Note 2.5.
The Group leases out its real estate under operating leases. Assets leased under operating leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position within investment property.
Rental income is recognized over the lease term.
In accordance with IAS 17 and interpretation SIC 15, the financial impact of all of the provisions in the lease agreement is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the period up to the date on which the lessee may terminate the lease without incurring any material financial consequences (usually after six years). Therefore, in order to accurately reflect the economic benefits of the lease, rent-free periods, rent discounts, the portion of fitting-out costs incurred by the lessee and borne by the lessor, and lease premiums paid to lessees are recognized over the firm term of the lease.
Termination and restoration indemnities received from former lessees are recognized under "Miscellaneous services" in operating income.
Rental expenses incurred by the lessor on behalf of lessees and expenses chargeable to the lessees under the terms of the lease are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income under "Building-related costs".
The rebilling of rental expenses and expenses chargeable to lessees under the terms of the lease are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income under "Income from other services".
The portion of rental expenses concerning vacant premises is recorded directly in the statement of comprehensive income.
Rental expenses include building-related taxes (property tax, tax on office premises and tax on parking areas).
Pursuant to IFRIC 21, the interpretation of IAS 37, property tax, tax on office premises and tax on parking areas are recognized in full at January 1 of each reporting period, i.e., the date of the obligating event. The same applies to taxes rebilled in advance to lessees.
Long-term payables and receivables are discounted when they are considered to have a material impact.
Earnings per share is a key indicator used by the Group, and is calculated by dividing net attributable income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares are not considered as outstanding and are therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on income attributable to holders of ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares existing during the year, adjusted to reflect the impact of potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
Assets and liabilities maturing within 12 months of the reporting date are classified as current assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. All other assets and liabilities are treated as non-current.
Expenses in the statement of comprehensive income are shown according to their nature.
In the statement of cash flows, net operating cash flows are calculated using the indirect method, whereby the net amount is based on net income adjusted for non-cash transactions, items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows, and changes in working capital requirements.
To prepare the interim consolidated financial statements, the Group uses estimates and judgments which are updated on a regular basis and are based on past information and other factors, in particular assumptions of future events deemed reasonable in view of the circumstances.
Estimates that could lead to a significant adjustment in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the subsequent period mainly concern the determination of the fair value of the Group's real estate assets and financial instruments. The fair value of the Group's real estate assets is measured on the basis of valuations carried out by an external real estate valuer using the methodology described in Note 2.4.
As these valuations are only estimates, there may be a significant difference between the amount obtained upon the sale of certain real estate assets and their estimated value, even when they are sold in the months following the end of the reporting period.
In this context, valuations of the Group's real estate assets by the external real estate valuers could vary significantly according to changes in the rate of return, based on observations of the rates prevailing in the real estate market.

These data are linked to the market and could therefore change significantly in the current climate. This could have a significant positive or negative impact on the fair value of the Group's real estate assets.

On July 26, 2016, Cegereal renegotiated the EUR 405m loan and entered into a new credit agreement authorizing the Group to borrow EUR 525m. The five-year loan consists of two tranches of (i) EUR 445m and (ii) EUR 80m, repayable at maturity on July 26, 2021. The agreement also provides for an optional two-year extension.
The first tranche was drawn down in full on July 26, 2016 and the second tranche was drawn down in an amount of EUR 41m on December 12, 2016.
Following the acquisition of Hanami Rueil SCI, Cegereal entered into a credit agreement for EUR 100m on December 15, 2016. The agreement provides for a five-year loan, 0.375% of the principal amount of which is repayable at each due date and the remainder on maturity at December 15, 2021.
The Group's real estate portfolio is valued by external real estate valuers. The value of the portfolio depends on the ratio of supply to demand in the property market, a large number of substantially varying factors, and changes in the economic environment.
All of the Group's real estate assets are office buildings with a large surface area (above 30,000 sq.m) located in the inner suburbs of Paris. A fall in demand for this type of building could adversely affect the Group's earnings, business activities and financial position.
The current economic climate has sparked volatility in real estate prices and values. Consequently, the price obtained if the assets are disposed of in the short term may not be in line with the valuation.
Market rent levels for office premises and the value of office buildings are strongly influenced by the ratio of supply to demand in the property market. A situation where supply outweighs demand is likely to adversely affect the Group's earnings, business activities, assets and liabilities, and financial position.
Certain legal provisions applicable to commercial leases, such as public policy regulations governing lease terms and the indexing of rent, can restrict the capacity of property owners to increase rents. In the event of a change in the regulatory framework or the index used, the Group may be exposed to such risks.
Group procedures ensure that lease agreements are only entered into with lessees of suitable credit standing. The Group has developed policies that limit its exposure to credit risk.
At June 30, 2017, the Group was dependent on five lessees who collectively represented approximately 55% of the total rental income collected during the first half of 2017 and individually more than 7%. Although the Group's real estate assets could be – and are – leased to many different lessees, financial difficulties experienced by one of these lessees, a request for more favorable lease terms upon renewal or a decision to terminate their lease, could adversely impact the Group's financial position, earnings and future performance.
Prudent liquidity risk management involves maintaining sufficient liquidity and short-term investment securities, being able to raise funds based on suitably adapted lines of credit and the ability to unwind market positions.

The Group's loans were taken out with bank pools.
Notes 5.11 and 5.25 contain a description of the different credit facilities and the early repayment clauses contained in the credit agreements. The Group complied with its covenants at the most recent due date.
On July 26, 2016, Cegereal refinanced its debt following repayment of the loan taken out on July 26, 2012. The new loan agreement authorizes the Group to borrow EUR 525m and consists of two tranches of (i) EUR 445m (tranche A) and (ii) EUR 80m (tranche B). Tranche A was drawn down in full on July 26, 2016 and a first drawdown of EUR 41m made on tranche B on December 12, 2016.
94% of tranche A is subject to a fixed rate of 1.35% if the occupancy rate is greater than 75%, and 1.50% if it is not. The remaining balance of tranche A (i.e., 6%) is subject to a variable interest rate (6-month Euribor with a floor of 0%) plus a margin of 1.35% if the occupancy rate is greater than 75%, and 1.50% if it is not. The Euribor rate was below 0% during the first half of 2017.
Tranche B is subject to the same conditions as the portion of tranche A that is subject to a variable rate.
Following the acquisition of Hanami Rueil SCI, Cegereal entered into a credit agreement for EUR 100m on December 15, 2016. The loan comprises three tranches: one in an amount of EUR 50m at a fixed rate of 1.52%, including a 1.45% margin, one in an amount of EUR 25m at a variable 3-month Euribor rate with a floor of 0%, and one in an amount of EUR 25m at a variable 3 month Euribor rate with a floor of -0.4%. The two variablerate tranches also have a 1.45% margin.

All material commitments are listed below. The Group had not entered into any complex commitments at the end of the reporting period.
Pursuant to the credit agreement of July 26, 2016, the amounts provided shall be used solely to:
repay the initial loan of EUR 405m as well as the related interest and expenses (i.e., EUR 412m);
and, in a maximum amount of EUR 120m:
finance certain work/expenses,
In accordance with the EUR 525m credit agreement of July 26, 2016, the Group is also required to comply with the following main commitments:
to repay some or all of the loan in advance in the event of a change of control of the Company or the total or partial sale of one of the buildings, expropriation or a major incident;
to repay the loan in advance, which would give rise to breakage costs and an early repayment indemnity;
Under the EUR 100m credit agreement of December 15, 2016, the amounts borrowed should be used solely to refinance in full the amounts due under the previous loan. The Group's main commitments under the agreement are as follows:
Under the Advisory Services Agreement entered into by Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Prothin, effective January 1, 2016 for an initial term of six years and amended on December 23, 2016 (the "Prothin ASA"), an incentive fee is paid to encourage the Advisor to create value for the shareholders ("Value Growth").
Value Growth is determined on the basis of growth in the Group's EPRA NNNAV over a period of three years adjusted upwards for dividend distributions and downwards for capital increases made over that period (the calculation only includes the proportion of net asset value that Prothin represents relative to that of Cegereal and its subsidiaries or affiliates). The incentive fee is equal to a maximum of 10% of Value Growth, provided that an annualized IRR of at least 6% is achieved (the "Initial Hurdle"). A catch-up clause divides the proportion of Value Growth in excess of the Initial Hurdle equally between the Advisor and Prothin until the point that the incentive fee reaches 10% of Value Growth. Beyond that hurdle, the total incentive fee is 10% of Value Growth.
No incentive fee was recorded in the financial statements for first-half 2017, as the different elements used to calculate the amount of the incentive fee and its high sensitivity to the portfolio value meant it was not possible to produce a reliable estimate of this amount by the date on which the financial statements were approved.
Security deposits received from lessees amounted to EUR 26,589k at June 30, 2017.
Description of the main provisions and resulting commitments of the Group's operating leases:
All of the Group's business assets are located in France and are subject to the provisions of French law. The Group's business activities are governed by Articles L.145-1 to L.145-60 of the French Commercial Code. The lease term may not be less than nine years and only the lessee has the option of terminating the lease at the end of each three-year period following inception of the lease, subject to six months' notice.
Until the entry into force of Act no. 2014-626 of June 18, 2014 on craftspeople, small traders and micro businesses (the "Pinel Act"), the parties could contractually override this three-year termination period. This possibility is now limited in certain cases for leases signed on or after September 1, 2014 (the date on which the Pinel Act came into effect).
Rents are generally payable quarterly in advance and are indexed annually.
The lease may provide for a step-up arrangement or for constant rental payments, and it may include rent-free periods or temporary rent freezes, but in any event, the terms and conditions are fixed at the inception of the lease for the entire lease term. Charges, including real property tax and tax on office premises, are generally borne by the lessee unless otherwise stipulated in the lease. Pursuant to Article R.145-35 of the French Commercial Code, some of these charges cannot be rebilled.
Minimum guaranteed rental income from current operating leases:
At June 30, 2017, the minimum annual rental income (excluding VAT, rebilling of taxes and expenses, and rent decreases agreed after end-2016) due to the Group until the earliest possible termination dates of the different operating leases was as follows:
These rents represent amounts to be invoiced, excluding the impact of staggering the benefits granted to lessees with respect to earlier periods.

To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your General Shareholders' Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
• the review of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Cegereal S.A. for the six months ended June 30, 2017;
• the verification of the information contained in the interim management report.
These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Group at June 30, 2017 and of the results of its operations for the period then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.
We have also verified the information given in the interim management report on the interim consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the interim consolidated financial statements.
