CHIEF EXECUTIVE STATEMENT

Operations Review

The Company is now building new homes on five separate sites, including the recently commenced Marianella, Ashbourne and Hanover Quay sites. These five sites will deliver in excess of 1,150 units. The 20 unit scheme at Albany, South Dublin is nearing completion, whilst the first phase of Parkside is also substantially complete. Sales continue to progress well, with 112 houses now sale agreed and 64 of those sales completed, with 39 of those completions taking place during the first six months of 2016. Sales in Parkside during the summer have been stronger than expected, which will positively impact on second half completion targets. The Company expects to have the first launch of its Ashbourne 350 unit development in October of this year. The Company's operational activities will continue to accelerate over the coming months and Cairn will be building on a further five schemes within twelve months, delivering an additional 2,750 units. The Company remains confident of achieving its previously guided annual sales completion targets and its targeted EBIT margin of 20%, as it matures.

The Company has had eight successful planning grants to date, a 100% success rate and has five further applications currently under consideration by the relevant planning authorities. The Company's planning and development teams will continue to add value by amending existing planning consents, where appropriate, and designing new schemes, in order to ensure optimum delivery and enhanced returns across the portfolio. In particular, the recently granted revised planning consent for 122 units for the prime located site in Hanover Quay, Dublin 2 represents a planning gain of 22 units on the original grant.

The Company's loan to own strategy post the Project Clear acquisition continues to progress well, with proceeds of EUR32.0 million realised from settlements and asset sales in line with expectations and EUR152.2m of assets (12 sites) transferred to its direct ownership, including EUR126.1 million (9 sites) transferred to its direct ownership during the first six months of 2016. The Company is confident of realising full value on all Project Clear core sites converted to its direct ownership and on achieving targeted profit levels on its smaller non-core site disposals.

The successful acquisition phase continued during the first six months of the year, with the acquisition of sites at Cherrywood, Hanover Quay and Maynooth. In addition, following the completion of the successful placing and open offer in April, the Company acquired the Argentum business and its six sites at Naas, Greystones, Griffith Avenue, Dollymount, Swords and Ashbourne.

Residential Property Market

The ongoing supply/demand imbalance is a key factor in the continued upward trajectory in house price inflation, which was up 6.6% and 4.5% nationally and in Dublin respectively in the 12 months to the end of June 2016. Dublin prices still remain 35% back from their peak 2007 levels, whilst rents are now back above their peak levels.

Housing supply continues to fall well short of the accepted long-term requirement of 25,000 to 30,000 homes per annum nationally, with a requirement of 8,000 to 10,000 homes in Dublin. Against this national requirement, there were just 12,666 completions in 2015 (a deficit of c. 50% against the long-term requirement), with only a modest increase on this number expected in 2016 (as evidenced by the fact that in 2016 to date, there has only been an increase of 1,000 units on the 2015 supply level), which underlines the worsening, rather than improving demand/supply imbalance.

Rising rent levels across the country and in Dublin in particular are a continuing feature of the residential housing market, illustrating the worsening demand/supply imbalance. A recent industry report (source: Daft) highlighted the continued rise in rents across the country, with national rents up 11% and Dublin rents up between 10% and 12.5% in the twelve months to June 2016. These continued rent increases are directly related to an acute shortage of housing availability, which is evidenced by the fact that there are just 3,600 properties available to rent nationally in August 2016, compared to 4,600 in August 2015 and almost 16,000 five years ago. In Dublin, there are less than two weeks supply, or 1,100 homes, available to rent currently.

Government Initiatives

The Government support for the housing sector has been confirmed by the recently published Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness, which will have a positive impact on the industry. In particular, Cairn is focused on the initiatives outlined in Pillar 3, Build More Homes, which are most relevant to its business, with the key benefits likely to flow from:

   -- the local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF) for EUR200m, which will help to fast-track much needed 
      infrastructure in order to facilitate more efficient delivery of much needed homes; 
 
   -- prioritising large pathfinder sites in key urban locations to release housing more quickly; 
 
   -- planning reforms - large housing development applications will now be subject to a one-step, rather than a 
      two-step planning process, thereby significantly shortening the planning cycle; and 
 
   -- measures to support construction innovation and skills. 

In addition, the details of the previously announced Government Help to Buy initiative, which are expected to be included in Budget 2017, due to be announced in October, will provide assistance to first time buyers in particular.

Economy

The Irish macro-economic backdrop remains positive, with Ireland now experiencing its highest levels of GDP growth since the mid-2000s. Recent forecasts (source: Goodbody) for the Irish economy are now predicting GDP growth of 4.1% in 2016 and 2.8% in 2017. Consumer confidence remains high with the recovery in consumer spend accelerating during 2015, at 4.5% and forecast to grow 3.9% in 2016. The labour market continues to improve, with unemployment down to 8.4% in July 2016, down from 9.2% in July 2015 and is forecast to fall further during the remainder of 2016. There has also been strong employment growth, with 56,200 new jobs created in the twelve months to June 2016, an increase of 2.9% on the twelve month period to June 2015. This strong employment market is resulting in a return to wage growth, with an increase of 1.6% during 2016, with expectations of an increase in growth during 2016, which will reinforce a strengthening residential housing market. This improving economic backdrop is key to improving affordability, an important ingredient in underpinning housing demand.

Whilst it is too early to fully assess the impact of Brexit, Cairn believes that Brexit may result in increased FDI, which would further add to the demand for housing. Given the Dublin focus of our land-bank, this will potentially have a positive impact on Cairn's business in the future.

OUTLOOK

The recent improvement in mortgage approvals and drawdowns is encouraging, as is more recent evidence of increasing competition on mortgage rates and the upcoming review of the CBI macro-prudential rules due to be published in November. Affordability is improving, an important ingredient in underpinning housing demand, with wage growth returning and the likely downward trend on personal tax rates. In addition, the regulatory environment remains positive. The recently announced Government Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness combined with the Government Help to Buy initiative, which is expected to be included in Budget 2017, will help to further improve the environment in which the Company operates. Stronger than expected sales levels in Parkside over the summer months will also positively impact on second-half completion targets.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   1.         Basis of Preparation 

Cairn Homes plc ("the Company") is a company domiciled in Ireland. The Company's registered office is 7 Grand Canal, Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2. The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group") is predominantly involved in the development of residential property for sale.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the information set out in this report cover the six month period ended 30 June 2016, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

The Group condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since 31 December 2015. They should be read in conjunction with the statutory consolidated financial statements of the Group, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, as at and for the period ended 31 December 2015. Those statutory financial statements have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and are available at www.cairnhomes.com. The audit opinion on those statutory financial statements was unqualified and did not contain any matters to which attention was drawn by way of emphasis.

The accounting policies, presentation and method of computations adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the period from incorporation on 12 November 2014 to 31 December 2015.

The new IFRS standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are effective for the first time in the financial year ending 31 December 2016 have not had a significant impact on the Group's reported profit or net assets in these interim financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

The key judgements and estimates impacting these interim financial statements are:

   --      carrying value of inventories and allocations from inventories to cost of sales (Note 7) 
   --      transfer of loan assets to development land collateral within inventories (Notes 6 and 7) 
   --      acquisition accounting, including allocation of fair value of consideration (Note 15) 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the Group, rounded to the nearest thousand.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Directors on 24 August 2016.

The loan receivables were acquired at a substantial discount to their nominal value reflecting their distressed state at the time of acquisition. The fair value of the loan receivables at acquisition was based on the value of the secured real estate collateral. Direct transaction costs incurred relating to the acquisition of these loans were capitalised.

During the period the Group realised proceeds of EUR28.2 million from the settlement of loans. At 30 June 2016, loans with a carrying value of EUR16 million are expected to be repaid.

During the period, the Group has commenced the foreclosure process, whereby the substantial majority of loans will be recovered by obtaining the underlying collateral. Accordingly, the loans in foreclosure have been derecognised as financial assets, and the related collateral assets have been transferred to inventory, as detailed further in Note 7, which reflects the substance of these assets.

As a consequence, the related construction bonds have been transferred to trade and other receivables. The carrying value of construction bonds as at 30 June 2016 was EUR3.8 million.

The directors consider that all inventories are essentially current in nature although the Group's operational cycle is such that a considerable proportion of inventories will not be realised within 12 months. It is not possible to determine with accuracy when specific inventories will be realised as this will be subject to a number of factors such as consumer demand and the timing of planning permissions.

Having considered the current market conditions and development potential, the directors do not consider there to be any factors that give rise to concern in relation to the net realisable value of the Group's inventories as at 30 June 2016. Consequently, the directors believe that the carrying value of inventories is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Following the end of the sub-participation period in February 2016, as further detailed in Note 6, the Group has commenced the foreclosure process of transferring development land collateral into its direct ownership. Consequently, the cost of the development land collateral attaching to the relevant Project Clear distressed loan assets is now shown within inventories. The carrying value of this collateral property at 30 June 2016 was EUR212.2 million.

During the period, assets attached to 9 of the original distressed loans acquired, with a total cost of EUR126.1 million, have transferred from development land collateral to directly owned land held for development. In addition, the Group realised proceeds of EUR3.8 million from the sale of residential properties acquired in Project Clear, which are included in revenue (Note 2).

   15.       Business Combination 

On 21 April 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Argentum Property Holdco Limited ("Argentum") for a consideration of EUR91.2 million. This acquisition had been conditional on the successful completion of the Company's Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer. The purpose of the acquisition was to acquire Argentum's business of the development of residential properties at Ashbourne, Naas, Greystones, Griffith Avenue, Dollymount and Swords.

The fair value of recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:

 
                                       EUR'000

   15.       Business Combination (continued) 

The total fair value of assets acquired was EUR91.2 million, which has been satisfied by the cash consideration of EUR91.2 million. Inventories of EUR94.3 million reflect the fair value, as at the date of acquisition, of development properties owned by Argentum and a conditional purchase contract to acquire the Greystones site. The completion of the acquisition of the Greystones sites is expected to take place in the coming days at a cost of EUR14.4 million, which is payable to the vendors of the Greystones site. The combined total of the consideration paid for Argentum and the payment to complete the Greystones site purchase is EUR105.6 million.

Transaction costs of EUR1.2 million have been charged to the profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 3. As the acquisition of a business is a non-routine transaction, these have been classified as an exceptional item.

From the acquisition date to 30 June 2016, this acquisition contributed revenue and operating profit of nil to the consolidated results of the Group. If the acquisition had occurred with effect from the beginning of the period, it would have contributed revenue and operating profit of nil to the consolidated results of the Group for the period.

   16.       Financial Risk Management 

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

   --       credit risk 
   --       liquidity risk 
   --       market risk 

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, and the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk.

Risk management framework

The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's loan assets, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Exposure to credit risk

The Group's principal financial assets comprise cash and short term deposits. Group management in conjunction with the Board manage risk associated with cash and short term deposits by depositing funds with a number of Irish financial institutions and AAA rated international institutions. At 30 June 2016, the Group's deposits were held in three Irish financial institutions with a minimum credit rating of BBB-.

   16.       Financial Risk Management (continued) 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables together with expected cash outflows on trade and other payables and commitments. All trade and other payables (EUR10.7 million) at 30 June 2016 are considered current with the expected cash outflow equivalent to their carrying value.

Management monitors the adequacy of the Group's liquidity reserves (comprising undrawn borrowing facilities as detailed in note 11 and cash and cash equivalents as detailed in note 9) against rolling cash flow forecasts. In addition, the Group's liquidity risk management policy involves monitoring short term and long term cash flow forecasts.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

The Group is not exposed to currency risk. The Group operates only in the Republic of Ireland.

Interest rate risk

At 30 June 2016, the Group had Term Loan and Revolving Credit facilities with AIB and Ulster Bank that had a principal drawn balance of EUR150 million, with a variable interest rate of Euribor (with a 0% floor), plus a margin of 3%. The Group has an exposure to cash flow interest rate risk where there are changes in Euribor rates.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: valuation techniques for which the lowest level of inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest level of inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are not based on observable market data.

The following table shows the Group's financial assets and liabilities and the methods used to calculate fair value.

Independent Review Report to Cairn Homes plc

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of financial position, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU. Our review was conducted in accordance with the Financial Reporting Council's ("FRC's") International Standard on Review Engagements ("ISRE") (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU, the TD Regulations and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland, and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis of our report, responsibilities and restriction on use

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the TD Regulations and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland, and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. The directors are responsible for ensuring that the condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Financial Reporting Council's International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, 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 International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) 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.

We read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report to identify material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of consolidated financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the review. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 as amended ("the TD Regulations") and the Transparency Rules of the Central Bank of Ireland, and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
