About Globalworth

Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited is a real estate investment company founded by real estate investor and developer Ioannis Papalekas currently focused on taking advantage of investment opportunities in Romania. The Company's shares were admitted to trading on AIM in July 2013.

The Romanian market offers an attractive real estate investment proposition in the medium-to-long term. Globalworth believes that global investor capital flows will gradually move from markets considered as "safe havens" to more peripheral markets such as Romania in search of higher yielding investments. As a result, Romania should, in due course, become a more attractive destination for a wide investor audience. Globalworth anticipates holding an early mover advantage in and benefiting from this gradual shift in investor sentiment.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

In the first half of 2016 we made significant strides in further strengthening Globalworth's position as one of the leading real estate players in Romania and the wider SEE region.

We completed and delivered two class "A" office buildings in Bucharest and continued to invest in our developments, which currently comprise an office project in Bucharest and a light-industrial facility in Timisoara at different stages of development. In the first six months of the year we invested c. EUR25m in our portfolio, with the majority of the capital deployed in our development projects.

At the same time we established new or improved existing relationships with our business partners and further invested in our team of professionals, which has now reached 76 people, and in internal processes to enable us to improve our operational performance. We also continued to invest in the development of our in-house ERP software, which has already raised our operational efficiency and is expected to yield further benefits as our portfolio grows larger.

Romania, our primary country of focus, and its real estate market continue to offer opportunities for us to implement our strategy. The Romanian economy expanded again in the first half of the year, with GDP increasing by 6.0% ([5]) in Q2-16 year-on-year, representing the highest growth rate that has been recorded since Q3-08. This favourable macroeconomic environment has been reflected in the performance ([6]) of Romania's real estate sector, as demonstrated by strong demand for office space (take-up of c.200k sqm in H1-16 vs. 240k sqm for the entire 2015) driven by both national and international tenants. Prime investment yields for office and industrial properties have stabilised at 7.5% and 9.0% respectively, but still remain c.200 base points above those of other CEE core markets (Warsaw, Poland and Prague, Czech Republic).

Globalworth's overall portfolio value as of 30 June 2016 reached c.EUR962.4m, representing an increase of 19.0% and 3.4% over the same period last year and the end of 2015 respectively. This increase in value has been driven mainly by the acquisitions completed in H2-15 and the completion/revaluation of projects under development over the past twelve months.

We remain committed to investing in and developing environmentally friendly properties and in 2016 we increased the number of environmentally accredited buildings to six, with the addition of Green Court Building "B" (LEED Gold). We are exploring the potential for similar accreditations for other properties in our portfolio (both standing and development projects).

While our total debt exposure increased by (+3.0%) from year-end 2015, reaching EUR420.9m as of 30 June 2016, our efforts to improve our capital structure were reflected in the 0.9% decrease in the weighted average of our all-in cost of debt to 5.3% on a run-rate basis, and the de-risking of short term debt maturity exposure from EUR143.0m at 31 December 2015 to EUR12.1m at 30 June 2016. This was achieved through successfully completing the arrangement of three new facilities involving either the refinancing of existing facilities at improved terms or the raising of new debt against unencumbered properties. We are particularly proud to have completed a three-year EUR180.0m secured bond transaction, fully subscribed by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") through its wholly owned subsidiary, CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. (CPPIB Credit), and funds managed by Cairn Capital ("Cairn").

The total annualised contracted rent of the portfolio was c.EUR51.3m (90.6% from standing properties) as at 30 June 2016, representing an increase of c.7.3% compared to year-end 2015, with c.335.5k sqm of commercial GLA and 196 residential units let or pre-let and average occupancy of our standing portfolio of 80.3%. These figures have improved further in the subsequent few months - as at 31 August 2016 - Globalworth had 343.0k sqm and 198 residential units occupied and average occupancy of its standing portfolio of 82.3%.

The total revenue generated by our portfolio in H1 2016 increased to EUR32.0m (from EUR17.6m in H1 2015) as a result of our investment in income-generating assets in 2015, the completion of a number of developments previously under construction (TAP and Globalworth Tower) and active asset management.

Despite the increases in portfolio value as well as total revenue generated by the Company, our EPRA Net Asset Value and EPS figures were impacted by the short term corporate facility (previously in place) and the expenses associated by the repayment of the short term corporate level facility and closing of the EUR180m bond in June '16, which resulted in increased costs and the issue of 1.0m new shares at a EUR6.0 per share. EPRA NAV stood at EUR9.08 per share at the end of H1-16 (remaining unchanged compared to 31 December 2015), while EPS was EUR0.07 per share for the period. We are, however, confident that we will benefit from our improved capital structure in the future and believe we will see increases in both EPRA NAV and EPS metrics going forward.

Looking to the remainder of 2016, we intend to intensify our active management efforts in order to enhance the appeal of our portfolio by making it "greener" and, where necessary, further improve and maintain high occupancy levels across our properties. Furthermore, we will continue to progress with the development of our Globalworth Campus and TAP projects. Finally, we have an active pipeline of new and exciting investment opportunities which we expect will further enhance the Company's growth.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW H1-16

In the first half of 2016 we focused on organically growing the Company, mainly by concentrating our efforts on our development programme, optimising our capital structure and improving the occupancy of our portfolio. In addition, we continued to invest in the Company's infrastructure in order to allow us to serve our partners and shareholders in the most efficient and effective way.

Progress with Globalworth's Development Programme

Globalworth continues to have a very active development programme. At the beginning of 2016, the Company was in the process of finalising its flagship class "A" Globalworth Tower office property and had two other office buildings under construction, all located in the new CBD of Bucharest. In addition, in February we agreed to further expand our TAP light-industrial complex in Timisoara, with the addition of a new facility pre-let to Valeo.

In the first half of the year we delivered two office buildings, Globalworth Tower and Gara Herastrau, thus increasing our total footprint of standing office GLA by c.66,700sqm. Both class "A" office buildings were completed within their respective timelines and tenants have already moved into their new premises.

We currently have two other active projects at different stages of development. Globalworth Campus, the class "A" office complex located in Bucharest, is currently under construction with Tower I expected to be completed by Q1-17 and Tower II in H2-17. We have also completed all preparatory activities and received the necessary permits for the development of a new c.13,500sqm light-industrial facility, part of the TAP complex, which is expected to be delivered in Q2-17.

We are very pleased that all our developments have either been delivered on time or are on track to be completed within their expected delivery dates. The capabilities of our internal project management team, in conjunction with those of our partners responsible for our development projects, have been key to our successful track record so far.

Optimise Capital Efficiency

Management is focused on allocating capital efficiently both in terms of the types of assets we invest in and balancing how we fund investments between equity and third-party debt.

In 2016 we raised c.EUR219.4m from debt financing providers at an average cost of 6.5%. In total we completed three facilities which involved either the refinancing of existing facilities at improved terms or the raising of new debt against unencumbered properties.

The most notable transaction of H1-16, was the EUR180m senior secured real estate bond, which was directly negotiated / subscribed by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and Cairn Capital and completed in May 2016. Part of the proceeds was used to repay a EUR100m short term corporate level facility expiring in 2016. Other financing transactions completed during the period included the re-financing of our TAP investment by BCR and the financing of the Gara Herastrau office building by Garanti Bank.

Our successful efforts to optimise our capital structure are reflected in the reduction of our weighted average cost of debt from 6.2% as at 31 December 2015 to 5.3% at 30 June 2016. In addition, our consolidated Loan to Value ("LTV") ratio has remained at the moderate levels of 43.7% as at 30 June 2016 (43.9% at 31 December 2015), well below our commitment to maintain LTV below 60% at all times.

High Occupancy Rate in our Portfolio supported by High Quality Long-Term Lease

Our ability to lease space in our properties is one of the key strengths of our Company. Since the beginning of 2016, we have successfully negotiated the take-up or extension of a total of c.51,700sqm of commercial gross leasable area within our buildings, increasing the total over the past 2 1/2 years to 215,400sqm and ranking us as one of the most successful landlords in the Romanian real estate market.

At the end of June 2016, the average occupancy rate of our standing commercial portfolio was 80.3%, while the average duration of our new commercial leases signed in 2016 was 7.0 years, in line with our strategy to agree long-term lease contracts. In addition, during July and August we have managed to further increase the occupancy rate of our standing portfolio to 82.3% and increase the total let or pre-let commercial GLA of our portfolio to 343,000sqm.

Our portfolio boasts a diversified, high-quality tenant mix, comprising some 87 national and multinational corporates from more than 18 different countries.

The remainder of 2016 is a very important period for us as we are involved in a number of negotiations for the take-up of available space in our properties and developments, as well as negotiating extensions for some of our existing leases.

High Quality Team of Professionals Based in Bucharest & Improved Infrastructure

In 2016, we continued to invest in our team of skilled professionals through selected hires mainly within property management, as well as within certain support teams. In addition, we continued to implement the core modules of our new ERP system, with additional modules expected to be operational in Q3 and Q4 of this year.

Our strategic decision to further invest both in our property management team and software has resulted from the fact that with more than 422k sqm of GLA under management (expected to increase further in the next 12 months) and an ever-increasing number of suppliers and customers, our business has reached a critical size. As such, in order to be able to service our counterparties in a more effective way and to improve economies of scale and the efficiency of our operations, in 2015 we initiated this investment/build-up program which we expect to conclude by year-end 2016.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW H1-16

Globalworth's real estate portfolio as of 30 June 2016 comprised 15 investments with a total of 19 assets. All of our real estate properties are currently located in two principal cities in Romania, Bucharest (the capital) and Timisoara (one of the largest logistics hubs of the country), where we focus primarily on managing and developing office properties which account for approximately 81.1% of the appraised value of our investment properties. The majority of Globalworth's real estate portfolio is situated in the capital's new Central Business District ("CBD"), with our remaining assets being positioned in other prime locations.

Standing Properties

Our portfolio of standing assets has increased since the beginning of the year with the addition of our Globalworth Tower and the smaller Gara Herastrau office property developments, which were delivered in Q1-16 and Q2-16 respectively.

As of 30 June 2016, our standing portfolio comprised 14 assets, valued at EUR878.0m. In Bucharest we own 10 office properties and 429 apartments in a residential complex, while in Timisoara we own a light industrial park comprising three facilities.

Globalworth Tower is a landmark office property located in the heart of the new CBD of Bucharest. At a height of 120m it is the second tallest office property in Romania and in the top 10 by size in the CEE / SEE region. Globalworth Tower offers c.54,700sqm of Class "A" office space and as at 30 June 2016 was 66.7% let to high quality national and international tenants including Vodafone (telecoms), Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (law), Huawei (telecoms), Delhaize / Mega Image (retail-FMCG), Wipro (IT), Bunge (services) and Globalworth (real estate). Occupancy has further increased since the end of June following the take-up of space mainly by Ferrero (confectionery) and Anritsu Solutions (services), having reached 70.7% as at 31 August 2016. The property has been pre-certified with the Green Certification of LEED Platinum and, once obtained, it will be the first building in Romania and the broader SEE region to have received the highest available green accreditation.

Gara Herastrau was the second of Globalworth's projects to be delivered in 2016. This class "A" office property is also situated in the New CBD and lies adjacent to Green Court Building "A" and some 200 metres from Globalworth Plaza and Globalworth Tower. It extends over 12 floors (with an additional technical floor) and offers c.12,000sqm of GLA. The Gara Herastrau office building was delivered in June 2016 and was c.50.6% leased to ADP, the leading global provider of human capital management solutions. Occupancy in the property has further improved, having reached 59.6% as at 31 August 2016, following the take-up of space by Tripsta (services).

Our total standing GLA since 2015 year-end has increased by 18.6% to 421,700sqm (as at 30 June 2016), of which 370,000 sqm is commercial space, while the appraised value of our standing investment properties increased by 26.3% to EUR878.0m (as of 30 June 2016).

All our properties are modern and have been completed or refurbished since 2008. Approximately 80.6% of our GLA and c.77.3% of our standing portfolio value has been delivered within the past c.6 1/2 years.

The number of 'green' properties owned by the Company has also increased following the receipt of a LEED Gold accreditation by the Green Court Building "B" property. Our portfolio currently comprises six green accredited properties, and we have six others under various stages of green certification which we hope to receive in the next 12 months.

Developments

Following the delivery of the Globalworth Tower and Gara Herastrau office buildings in H1-16, we have two other projects under development, an office park located in the new CBD of Bucharest and a new light-industrial facility in Timisoara.

Bucharest

Our Globalworth Campus project, which upon final completion will offer three Class "A" office towers and total GLA of 88,700sqm, is being developed in two phases. Phase "A" - currently under construction - will comprise two side towers facing Dimitrie Pompeiu Street (main street) with a total GLA of c.57,000sqm on completion, while Phase "B" will comprise one middle tower, which on completion will contribute additional GLA of c.31,800sqm.

The development of Phase "A" is progressing in line with the estimated timeline. Tower-I has reached the 12th floor, with the structural concrete works now completed, and the façade is currently being fitted out with approximately 70% completed with a glazed surface. For Tower-II we have now completed the necessary preparatory activities, including excavations, site preparation etc. Delivery of the two towers is scheduled for Q1-17 and H2-17 respectively.

For both office buildings under development we have adopted a number of environmentally friendly principles and as such we anticipate being able to achieve Green certifications of BREEAM Very Good or Excellent.

Timisoara

In February 2016, Valeo exercised its option to expand further in our Timisoara Airport Park ("TAP") complex, with the development of a new c.13,500sqm light-industrial facility.

This will be the second time that Valeo has expanded within the park since its arrival in 2011 and on delivery of the new facility in the next 15 months it will occupy c.43% of the total standing GLA (c.94,900sqm) of the park at the time.

TAP has proven to be a much sought after location by high quality multinational tenants, as this is the third time within a c.1 1/2 year period that a tenant of a similar profile has decided to lease space in the park.

Continental Automotive and Elster Rometrics, the two other tenants in the complex, moved into TAP in 2015 following the delivery of two new high-quality light industrial facilities with a total of 53,900sqm in Q1 and Q3 of last year. As of 30 June 2016, the complex offered a total of c.81,349 sqm of GLA and was 97.3% occupied.

TAP has the potential for further development reaching to a total GLA of c.123,400sqm as a result of the extension options currently available to the existing tenants of the park.

The appraised value of the Development Projects, as of 30 June 2016 stands at EUR66.4m. On completion, the projects are expected to deliver c.130,680 sqm of new office and light industrial space, with an appraised value of EUR189.7m.

Leasing Update 2016 - YTD

Our ability to successfully lease space in our properties has been one of the key strengths of our business. Over the past c.2 1/2 years we have successfully negotiated the take-up or extension of 215,400sqm of commercial GLA within our buildings, confirming Globalworth's position as one of the most successful investors and developers in the Romanian real estate market.

Our leasing strategy has been very successful in 2016 as we have signed 83% more commercial GLA in the first c.8 months of the year than during the whole of 2015. Total take-up for office and logistics space since the beginning of the year has reached c.51,700sqm, with contracts signed at a WALL of 6.9 years.

We are pleased to report that Green Court Building "B" is now 100.0% leased (vs 82.1% at year-end 2015), and that we have made significant progress in the letting of our recently completed Globalworth Tower and Gara Herastrau office properties, which as of 31 August 2016 had occupancy of 70.7% (vs 66.7% as of 30 June 2016 and 51.0% at year-end 2015) and 59.6% (vs 50.6% as of 30 June 2016 and vacant at year-end 2015), respectively.

In addition, we have continued to improve the risk-profile of our portfolio, through the extension and / or expansion of leases with some of our prime tenants, such as Deutsche Bank in BOB and Honeywell and Hewlett Packard Enterprises in BOC, and Cegeka and Hidroelectica in TCI.

Most notable new contracts signed in 2016 included some of the best known national and multinational corporates such as Valeo (TAP) for c.13,500sqm, Deutsche Bank (BOB) for c.6,200sqm, ADP (Gara Herastrau) for c.6,100sqm, Honeywell (BOC) for c.3,800sqm, Hewlett Packard Enterprises (BOC) for c.2,500sqm, Vodafone (Globalworth Tower) for c.2,000sqm, Wipro (Globalworth Tower) for c.1,980sqm, Ericsson (Green Court "B") for c.1,900sqm, Bunge (Globalworth Tower) for c.1,800sqm, Tripsta (Gara Herastrau) for c.1,100sqm, Ferrero and Anritsu (Globalworth Tower) for a total of c.1,800sqm, while in TCI we signed expansion contracts with existing tenants Cegeka, Hidroelectrica and EY for a total of c.3,100sqm.

The average occupancy rate of our standing commercial portfolio as of 30 June 2016 was 80.3%, increasing to 82.3% at 31 August 2016. Average occupancy was impacted (85.1% at year-end) by the addition of the newly delivered Globalworth Tower and Gara Herastrau office properties, which are at their ramp-up stage, and the termination of the Volksbank lease in Globalworth Plaza.

Currently, our portfolio is occupied by 87 different national and multinational corporates from 18 different countries, including some of the most recognisable corporates in their respective industries.

The WALL remaining on the commercial lease space in our portfolio was 6.9 years at 30 June 2016 (and 6.8 at 31 August 2016).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

   A.   Highlights 

-- Portfolio Open Market Value ("OMV") ([18]) of EUR962.4m (31 December 2015: EUR931.1m) up 3.4% as compared to 31 December 2015

-- Loan to Value of 43.7 per cent (31 December 2015: 43.9 per cent) down marginally as compared to 31 December 2015

-- Net Asset Value ("NAV") of EUR512.2m (31 December 2015: EUR499.7m) up 2.5% as compared to 31 December 2015

-- NAV per share of EUR8.00 (31 December 2015: EUR7.98) up 0.3% as compared to 31 December 2015, affected by the issuance of c.1.4m additional shares during H1-16 to settle outstanding liabilities

   --     EPRA NAV of EUR581.4m (31 December 2015: EUR568.3m) up 2.3% as compared to 31 December 2015 

-- EPRA NAV per share of EUR9.08 (31 December 2015: EUR9.08) remaining unchanged from 31 December 2015, affected by the issuance of c.1.4m additional shares during the first six months of 2016 to settle outstanding liabilities

-- Net operating income of EUR19.9m (H1-15: EUR11.8m) up 69% as compared to H1-15 as a result of the addition of five leased properties in the revenues generating properties portfolio

-- Earnings before tax of EUR5.3m (H1-15: EUR39.7m) down 87% as compared to H1-15, mainly due to the significant fair value gain on investment property and gain on acquisition of four subsidiaries of c.EUR39m recorded in H1-15 whereas in H1-16 no acquisitions took place and there was a relatively small increase in the value of investment property generated of EUR5.4m

-- EBITDA ([19]) of EUR24.5m (H1-15: EUR31.7m) down 23% as compared to H1-15, mainly due to the significant gain on fair valuation of completed investment property and investment property under development of c.EUR23.2m recorded in H1-15 whereas in H1-16 only EUR5.4m was recorded

-- Normalised EBITDA ([20]) from ongoing operating activities of EUR16.2m (H1-15: EUR8.8m) up 85% as compared to H1-15

   B.   Analysis of results for the six month period ended 30 June 2016 
   1.     Revenues and profitability 

-- Revenues and NOI increased significantly in H1-16 compared to H1-15, reaching a total of EUR32.0m and EUR19.9m, respectively (from EUR17.6m and EUR11.8m, respectively, in H1-15), positively impacted by the acquisition of four ([21]) leased properties in March 2015, June 2015 and December 2015. The revenues and NOI recorded in H1-16 reflect for the whole six month period the contribution of these four leased properties, whereas the H1-15 results reflected only for Q2-15 the revenues and NOI derived from the two leased properties that were acquired at the end of March 2015. In addition, in August 2015 we delivered to Elster Rometrics the part of the TAP property that was pre-leased to this tenant, which has also contributed to the increase in revenues and NOI in H1-16 as compared to H1-15, and the Continental part of the same property contributes to H1-16 revenues and NOI for the entire six month period whereas in H1-15 only for Q2-15.

-- Administrative expenses in H1-16 increased by 24.0% as compared to H1-15, mainly as a result of the addition of five new subsidiaries administered by the Group during the entire six month period to 30 June 2016, the higher number of employees and total operating cost of the Globalworth platform.

-- EBITDA, as normalised ([22]) to reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Group, increased substantially in H1-16 (+85%) compared to the same period a year ago, in line with the Group's total Revenue and NOI uplifts, benefiting from a larger pool of income generating properties (five additional assets contributed to the results of H1-16 compared to H1-15).

-- Financing costs in H1-16 increased 2 1/4 times, mainly due to the higher level of interest charged on financing arrangements over the period. The total level of interest bearing loans increased for the Group from c.EUR204m ([23]) on 1 January 2015 to c.EUR411m(23) on 30 June 2016, though consolidated LTV remained at moderate levels (43.7%). Increased cost of debt was also impacted by a short term corporate facility which has now been repaid, as well as one-off costs associated with the repayment of the short term corporate level facility and closing of EUR180m bond in June 16, and the amortisation of the arrangement and settlement fees of our interest-bearing facilities. It has to be noted that following the successful completion of the EUR180m bond in June 2016, which resulted in the refinancing of our short term corporate facility, the weighted average cost of debt of the group at 30 June 2016 decreased to 5.3% from 6.2% at 31 December 2015.

   2.     Portfolio valuation, shareholders and equity and NAV 

-- During H1-16 our landmark Globalworth Tower and Gara Herastrau class "A" office properties, were completed and we also continued the construction of our Globalworth Campus (Phase "A"). In addition we completed all preparatory activities and received the necessary permits for the development of a new c.13,500sqm light-industrial facility, part of TAP complex.

-- EUR25.0m of capex on properties under development and completed properties during H1-16, contributing to an increase in the OMV of our properties portfolio of c.EUR31m.

-- The number of shares in issue increased during H1-16 by c.1.4m, without impacting EPRA NAV per share, which remained at EUR9.08 per share as at 30 June 2016 (EUR9.08 per share as at 31 December 2015), despite the increase in equity / NAV by c.EUR12.5m. 1 m additional shares were issued in June 2016 as part of the settlement of a EUR6m liability otherwise payable by the Company to an affiliate of York Capital Management Global Advisors, LLC, York Global Finance Offshore BDH (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. ("York") under the EUR100m short term corporate level facility.

   3.     Results and dividends 

The results for the period are set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on page 22. The Board of Directors has concluded that at this juncture the Company is best served by retaining its current cash reserves to support its investment strategy. Consequently, the Directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the period ended 30 June 2016.

   4.     Financing activities 

In the first half of 2016 the Group managed to successfully secure a total of c.EUR 219.4m debt financing, the majority of which in order to refinance and / or extend existing loan facilities, as well as reduce the weighted average interest rate charged. As a result, the weighted average cost of debt was reduced from 6.2% at 31 December 2015 to 5.3% at 30 June 2016.

A short outline of the financing transactions that took place in this period are as follows:

-- In March 2016 the Group signed a c.EUR29.1m long-term debt facility agreement with Banca Comerciala Romana ("BCR") in Romania (Erste Bank Group) in order to refinance the existing secured loan facilities related to the TAP light industrial park in Timisoara, and to fund the development of an extension to this property. This facility is secured on the TAP property and matures in year 2031;

-- In May 2016 the Group signed a EUR10.3m long-term debt facility agreement with Garanti Bank in Romania in order to refinance equity and to fund the remaining development costs of the Gara Herastrau office building. This facility is secured on the land and completed building and matures in the 1st quarter of 2026; and

-- At the end of May 2016 the Group secured a EUR180m three-year bond (the "Bond"). The bond was provided by Matisse Funding B.V. (an orphan SPV) which issued EUR180m of senior secured Notes to institutional investors. The proceeds of such issuance was on-lent to the Group in order to refinance the EUR100m short term corporate level facility obtained in 2015 from funds managed by York Capital and Oakhill Advisors and three secured debt facilities at the level of three of its Romanian subsidiaries. The bond is secured on the properties of these Romanian subsidiaries as well as the shares of their holding companies. Drawdown under the bond was concluded in June 2016.

The total debt portfolio of the Group ranges between short and medium to long-term debt, denominated mostly in EUR, with a small portion denominated in Romanian Lei ("RON"). They are secured with real estate mortgages, pledges on shares, receivables and loan subordination agreements in favour of the financing banks.

In terms of applicable financial covenants observed, the most notable are the Debt Service Cover Ratio ("DSCR"), with values ranging from 100% to 125%, and the Loan to Value ratio ("LTV"), with values ranging from 50% up to 85% (versus the significantly lower overall LTV of the Group at 30 June 2016 of 43.7%), with no actual deviations occurring during the period from the aforementioned values.

   5.     Cash flows 

-- Net cash resources raised during the six months ended 30 June 2016 from new debt financing of EUR14.9m.

-- Proceeds from disposal of subsidiary in Greece (Mycre Investment S.A.), net of cash disposed, of EUR11m.

-- Cash used on completed properties (mainly on fit-out works for tenants) and three properties under development in H1-16 of EUR30.4m.

-- Cash inflows from operating activities of EUR8.1m during the six month period ended 30 June 2016, more than double the amount generated in prior year's comparable period (EUR3.6m).

   6.     Liquidity 

Our Group seeks to maintain, at all times, sufficient liquidity to enable it to finance its ongoing, planned property investments, whilst maintaining flexibility to quickly capture attractive new investment opportunities.

During the first six months of 2016, as outlined above, a total of c.EUR14.9m additional debt financing was secured (excluding the refinanced or extended debt), c.EUR5.5m of which remained available to be drawn subsequent to 30 June 2016.

   7.     Principal Risks and Uncertainties 

The key risks which may have a material impact on the Group's performance, together with the corresponding mitigating actions, are presented on pages 86 to 92 of the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2015, which is available at www.globalworth.com.

These risks comprise the following:

-- Exposure to the economic environment in Romania and changes in the political or regulatory framework in Romania or the European Union;

   --     Inability to execute planned acquisition of properties and lack of available financing; 
   --     Counterparty credit risk; 
   --     Risk of changes in interest rates and exchange rates; 
   --     Risk of negative changes in the valuation of portfolio; 
   --     Inability to lease space and renew expiring leases; 
   --     Inability to complete projects under development on time; 
   --     Risk of breach of loan covenants; 
   --     Risk of change in fiscal and tax regulations; and 
   --     Compliance with fire, structural or other health and safety regulations. 

There has been no significant change in these risks during the six month period ended 30 June 2016, and these risks are expected to continue to remain relevant during the second half of 2016.

   8.     Going Concern 

The Directors have considered the Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern based on the Management's cash flow projections for the 12 months subsequent to the date of approval of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Directors believe that the Company would have sufficient cash resources to meet its obligations as they fall due and continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

SECTION I: BASIS OF PREPARATION

This section contains the Group's significant accounting policies that relate to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") as a whole. Significant accounting policies and related management's estimates, judgements and assumptions in application of those policies specific to one note and are included within that note. Accounting policies relating to non-material items are not included in these financial statements.

   1.     General 

Corporate Information

Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited ("the Company") is a company with liability limited by shares and incorporated in Guernsey as a non-cellular company with liability limited by shares on 14 February 2013, with registered number 56250. The Company was successfully admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") in July 2013, with the Ordinary shares of the Company trading under the ticker "GWI". The registered office of the Company is Ground Floor, Dorey Court, Admiral Park, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 2HT.

Directors

The Directors of the Company are:

-- Geoff Miller, Non-executive, Chairman of the Board and member of the Audit and Remuneration Committees

-- Ioannis Papalekas, Chief Executive Officer

-- Dimitris Raptis, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer

-- Eli Alroy, Non-executive, member of the Remuneration Committee

-- John Whittle, Non-executive, Chairman of the Audit and Remuneration Committees

-- Andreea Petreanu, Non-executive, member of the Audit Committee

-- Akbar Rafiq, Non-executive, and

-- Alexis Atteslis, Non-executive

The Group had 76 employees as of 30 June 2016 (67 as of 31 December 2015).

Basis of Preparation and Compliance

The financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2016 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". These financial statements are prepared in Euro ("EUR" or "EUR"), rounded to the nearest thousand, being the functional currency and presentation currency of the Company. These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment property and derivatives which are measured at fair value.

The Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Directors based their assessment on the Group's detailed cash flow projections for the period of 12 months subsequent to the date of approval of these financial statements. These projections take into account the latest contracted rental income, anticipated additional rental income from anticipated renewal of existing lease agreements, secured debt financing facilities, as well as contacted debt financing, CAPEX, and other commitments. The projections show that in the 12 months subsequent to the date of approval of these financial statements, the Company has sufficient resources to continue to fund its ongoing operations and asset development without the need to raise any additional debt or equity financing or the need to reschedule existing debt facilities or other commitments.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment property and derivatives which are measured at fair value. The significant accounting policies adopted are set out in the relevant notes to the financial statements and consistently applied throughout the periods presented except for the new and amended IFRSs, see note 22, which were adopted on 1 January 2016.

Accounting policies

These financial statements apply the same accounting policies, presentation and methods of calculation as those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European Union ('EU') and the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008, as amended. These financial statements included in this Interim Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. On 1 January 2016, the Group adopted certain new accounting policies where necessary to comply with amendments to IFRS, none of which had a material impact on the consolidated results, financial position or cash flows of the Group (see note 22).

Basis of Consolidation

These financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated (refer to note 18) from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases (refer to note 19). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the period from the date of obtaining control to 30 June, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by the Group and are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from net assets and profit and loss attributable to equity holders of the parent.

   2.     Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures and the disclosures of contingent liabilities.

Selection of Functional Currency

The Company and its subsidiaries used their judgment, based on the criteria outlined in IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchanges Rates", and determined that the functional currency of all the entities is the EUR.

Further additional critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in the following notes to the financial statements.

-- Investment Property, see note 3 and Fair value measurement and related estimates and judgements, see note 4

-- Commitments (operating lease commitments - Group as lessor), see note 5

-- Taxation, see note 9

-- Investment in subsidiaries, see note 18

SECTION II: INVESTMETN PROPERTY

This section focuses on the assets in the statement of financial position of the Group which form the core of Globalworth's business activities. This includes investment property and related disclosures on fair valuation inputs, advances for investment properties and commitments for future property development. This section quantifies the property portfolio valuations and movements for the year.

Further information about each property is described in the portfolio review section of the Interim Report.

   4.     Fair Value Measurement and Related Estimates and Judgements 

Investment property measured at fair value

The Group's investment properties were valued by CBAR Research & Valuation Advisors S.R.L. ("Coldwell Banker"), independent professionally qualified valuers who hold a recognised relevant professional qualification and have recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued, using recognised valuation techniques.

Our Property Valuation Approach and Process

The Group's investment department includes a team that reviews the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. This team reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), the Chief Investment Officer ("CIO") and the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, CIO, CEO, the valuation team and the independent valuers twice in a financial year.

The fair value hierarchy levels are specified in accordance with IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement". Some of the inputs to the valuations are defined as "unobservable" by IFRS 13 and these are analysed in the tables below. Any change in valuation technique or fair value hierarchy (transfer between Level 1, 2 or 3) is analysed at each reporting date or as of the date of the event or variation in the circumstances that caused the change. During the period, the Group transferred two investment properties valued at EUR180.6m from Investment Property Under Development to Completed Investment Property and its valuation method was changed accordingly from residual method to discounted cash flow. There were no transfers from Level 1 to other categories or vice versa.

For each independent valuation performed the investment team along with the finance department:

   --     verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report; 

-- assesses property valuation movements when compared to the initial valuation report at acquisition or latest period end valuation report; and

   --     holds discussions with the independent valuer. 

Valuation Techniques, Key Inputs and Underlying Management's Estimations and Assumptions

Valuation techniques comprise the discounted cash flow, the sales comparison approach and residual value method.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Key information about fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are disclosed below:

The fair value gain on investment property recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for an amount of EUR5.4m (2015: EUR23.2m) represents fair value measurements as of the statement of financial position date related to investment properties categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In arriving at estimates of market values as at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015, the independent valuation experts used their market knowledge and professional judgement and did not rely solely on historical transactional comparables. In these circumstances, there was a greater degree of uncertainty in estimating the market values of investment properties than would have existed in a more active market.

Judgement Used In The Classification of Investment Property

Investment property comprises land and buildings which are not occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of, the Group, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but are held primarily to earn rental income and for capital appreciation. The Group considers that when the property is in a condition which will allow the generation of cash flows from its rental that the property is no longer a property under development or refurbishment but an investment property. If the property is kept for sale in the ordinary course of business then it is classified as inventory property.

Investment property under development include EUR3.8m (2015: EUR6.0m) of unamortised lease incentives (a similar corresponding amount was recorded in trade and other payables as payables for tenant lease incentives) representing the Group's estimated net cost for undertaking existing operating leases in properties owned by third parties, as well as for the commitment to undertake additional operating lease expense, under certain conditions, related to one of the Group's tenants. The net cost is estimated by deducting from the operating lease expenses the revenues from sub-letting the respective properties to third parties selected by the Group, for the unexpired portion of their leases.

Sensitivity Analysis on Significant Inputs

The assumptions on which the Property Valuation Reports have been based include, but are not limited to, rental value per sqm, discount rate, exit yield, cost to complete, comparable market transactions for land bank for further development, tenant profile for the rented properties and the present condition of the properties. These assumptions are market standard and in line with the International Valuation Standards ("IVS"). Generally, a change in the assumption made for the rental value (per sqm per annum) is accompanied by a similar change in the rent growth per annum and discount rate (and exit yield) and an opposite change in the other inputs.

A quantitative sensitivity analysis, in isolation, of the most sensitive inputs used in the independent valuations, performed, as of the statement of financial position date are set out below:

 
                          EUR0.5 change in                                                      EUR50 (2015: EUR25) 
                          rental value per       25 bps change in                              change in sales prices 
                           month, per sqm          market yield         5% change in Capex            per sqm

For properties valued under the DCF method, if the vacancy rate in perpetuity per property increases or decreases by 2.5% then completed investment property will decrease or increase by EUR15.9m or EUR14.2m (2015: EUR11.7m or EUR10.6m) and investment property under development will decrease or increase by EUR2.9m or EUR2.7m (2015: EUR7.2m or EUR6.3m) respectively.

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are secured on investment property, see note 12 for details.

Operating Leases Commitments- Group as Lessor

Judgements made for Properties under Operating Leases

The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the investment properties leased to third parties, therefore, accounts for these leases as operating leases. The duration of these leases is one year or more (2015: one year or more) and rentals are subject to annual upward revisions based on the consumer price index.

The future aggregate minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

The Company has obtained an exempt company status in Guernsey under the terms of the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) Ordinance, 1989. The Directors intend to conduct the Company's affairs so that it remains eligible for exemption. The subsidiaries in Romania, the Netherlands and Cyprus are subject to income taxes in respect of local sources of income. The income tax rate applicable to the Company in Guernsey is nil. The current income tax charge of EUR0.2m (30 June 2015: EUR0.02m) represents tax charges on profit arising in Romania and Cyprus in a few subsidiaries. Tax charges on profit arising in Romania, the Netherlands and Cyprus are subject to corporate income tax at the rate of 16%, 25% (20% for tax on profit up to EUR0.2m), and 12.5%, respectively.

The Group's subsidiaries registered in Cyprus and Netherlands need to comply with the Cyprus and the Netherlands tax regulations, however, the Group does not expect any taxable income, other than dividend and interest income, which are the most significant future sources of income of the Group companies registered in these countries. Dividend income is exempt or taxed at 0% in Cyprus and the Netherlands, respectively, however, interest income is subject to corporate income tax at the rate of 12.5% in Cyprus and ranges from 20% to 25%, depending on total taxable profit (20% for tax on profit up to EUR0.2m), in the Netherlands.

Judgements and Assumptions Used in the Computation of Current Income Tax Liability

Uncertainties exist, particularly in Romania where the Group has significant operations, with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company's domicile. In Romania, the tax position is open to further verification for 5 years and no subsidiary in Romania has had a corporate income tax audit in the last 5 years.

Secured bank loans

On 9 March 2016, the Group signed a c.EUR29.1m long-term debt facility (Loan 21) agreement with Banca Comerciala Romana ("BCR") in Romania (Erste Bank Group) in order to refinance the existing secure loan facilities (Loans 13 and 14) related to the TAP light industrial park in Timisoara, and to fund the development of an extension to this property. This facility is secured on the TAP property and matures in year 2031.

On 19 May 2016, the Group signed a EUR10.3m long-term debt facility (Loan 22) agreement with Garanti Bank in Romania in order to refinance equity and to fund the remaining development costs of the Gara Herastrau office building. This facility is secured on the land and completed building and matures in year 2026.

The Group secured a EUR180m three-year bond (the "bond"). The bond was provided by Matisse Funding B.V. (an orphan SPV) which issued EUR180m of senior secured Notes to institutional investors. The proceeds of such issuance were on-lent to the Group in order to refinance the EUR100m short term corporate level facility obtained in 2015 from funds managed by York Capital and Oakhill Advisors and three secured debt facilities at the level of three of its Romanian subsidiaries. The bond is secured on the properties of these Romanian subsidiaries as well as the shares of their holding companies. Drawdown under the Bond was completed in June 2016.

Secured bank loans are secured by investment properties with a carrying value of EUR890.0m at 30 June 2016 (2015: EUR692.6m) and also carry pledges on rent receivable balances of EUR5.8m (2015: EUR3,0m), tenant deposits of EUR2.4m (2015: EUR1,9m), VAT receivable balances of EUR7.3m (2015: EUR3.3m) and a moveable charge on the bank accounts.

Other Disclosures

The loans are subject to certain financial covenants, which are calculated based on data derived individual financial statements and cash flow projections of the respective subsidiaries, or data derived from combined financial statements and cash flows of certain Group companies. The Group is in compliance with all financial covenants and there was no defaults for payments during the six month period ended 30 June 2016. Financial covenants mainly include the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") which ranges from 50% - 85% and the debt service cover ratio ("DSCR") that ranges from 1.0 - 1.25. LTV is calculated as the loan value divided by the market value of the relevant property (for a calculation date), and DSCR (historical and/or projected, as the case may be, for a 12 month period) is calculated as net operating income divided by the debt service. As of 30 June 2016, the Group had undrawn borrowing facilities of EUR5.5m (2015: EUR2,0m).

Details of cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies are disclosed in note 14.

Cash at bank and in hand includes restricted cash balances of EUR4,9m (2015: EUR11,8m).

14. Financial Risk Management - Objective and Policies

The Group is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

   -       market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk); 
   -       credit risk; and 
   -       liquidity risk. 

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group's market risks arise from open positions in (a) foreign currencies and (b) interest-bearing assets and liabilities, to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements.

Foreign Currency risk

The Group has entities registered in several EU countries, with the majority of operating transactions arising from its activities in Romania. Therefore, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk, primarily with respect to the Romanian Lei (RON). Foreign exchange risk arises in respect of those recognised monetary financial assets and liabilities that are not in the functional currency of the Group. The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows (based on nominal amounts):

Foreign Currency Sensitivity Analysis

As of the statement of financial position date, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in respect of the exchange rate of the RON, USD and GBP. The following table details the Group's sensitivity (impact on profit before tax and equity) to a 5% devaluation in RON, USD and GBP exchange rates against the EUR, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

The 5% sensitivity rate represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year-end for a 5% appreciation in the EUR against other currencies.

 
                                  30 June 2016               31 December 2015

A 5% devaluation of the EUR against the above currencies would have had an equal but opposite impact on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates relative to the interest rate that applies to the financial instrument. Interest rate cash flows risk is the risk that the interest cost will fluctuate over time.

The Group's interest rate risk principally arises from interest bearing loans and borrowings. As at 30 June 2016 58% (2015: 75%) of the total outstanding borrowings carried variable interest rates (including the 1M and 3M EURIBOR and 1M ROBOR as bases) which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. In order to minimise this risk, the Group hedged 21% (2015:19%) of such variable interest rate borrowings with fixed-variable interest rate swap and interest rate cap instruments.

An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the EURIBOR or ROBOR will result in an increase or decrease (net of tax) in the result for the period of EUR1.0m (2015: EUR0.7m), with a corresponding impact on equity for the same amount. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group's policy is to trade with recognised and creditworthy third parties. The Group's exposure is continuously monitored and spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk, by class, of financial asset is equal to their carrying values at the statement of financial position date.

Trade Receivables - Net of Provision

There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, as the Group has a large number of tenants, a few of which are part of multinational groups, internationally dispersed, as disclosed in the portfolio review section of the Interim Report. For related parties it is assessed that there is no significant risk of non-recovery.

Estimates and Assumptions Used for Impairment of Trade Receivables

The Group assesses when there is sufficient objective evidence to require the impairment of individual trade receivables. It does this on the basis of the age of the relevant receivables, external evidence of the credit status of the counterparty and the status of any disputed amounts. The movements in the provision for impairment of receivables during the respective periods were as follows:

 
                                      30 June 2016   31 December 2015

The analysis by credit quality of financial assets, cumulated for rent, service charge and property management, is as follows:

The customer balances which were overdue but not provisioned are due to the fact that the related customers committed and started to pay the outstanding balances subsequent to the period end. Further, deposits payable to tenants may be withheld by the Group in part or in whole if receivables due from the tenant are not settled or in case of other breaches of contract.

VAT and Other Taxes Receivable

This balance relates to corporate income tax paid in advance, VAT and other taxes receivable from the Romanian tax authorities. The balances are not considered to be subject to significant credit risk as all the amounts receivable from Government authorities are secured under sovereign warranty.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is very small, since the cash and cash equivalents are held at reputable banks in different countries. The most significant part of cash and the cash equivalents balance is kept at the parent (the Company) with credit rating of A-2 and in subsidiaries in Romania in local branches of reputable international banks with credit rating of BBB.

Liquidity risk

The Group's policy on liquidity is to maintain sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations as they fall due. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with management. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and planning and close monitoring of cash flows. The Group expects to meet its financial liabilities through the various available liquidity sources, including a secure rental income profile, further equity raises, undrawn committed borrowing facilities and, in the medium-term, debt refinancing.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The tables above present the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay, and includes both interest and principal cash flows. As the amount of contractual undiscounted cash flows related to bank borrowings is based on variable rather than fixed interest rates, the amount disclosed is determined by reference to the conditions existing at the year or period end, that is, the actual spot interest rates effective at the end of the year or period are used for determining the related undiscounted cash flows.

Financial Instruments for which Fair Values are Disclosed

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

The fair value of financial liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. When determining the fair values of interest bearing loans and borrowings and finance lease obligations the Group used the DCF method with inputs such as discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the statement financial position date. The own non-performance risk at the statement of financial position date was assessed to be insignificant.

Other current financial liabilities represent the market-to-market value of an interest rate swap, obtained from the counterparty financial institution, at EUR4.1m (2015: EUR3.9m) at 30 June 2016. The fair value of derivative was developed in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 13. Bog'Art Offices S.R.L "Bog'Art", a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an arrangement with the lender (a local financial institution), for risk management purposes, in 2011 at a notional amount of EUR22.8m which has been transferred to the Group, as a consequence of the acquisition of Bog'Art. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Group is entitled to receive a floating rate of 1 month EURIBOR on the above referred notional amount and is required to pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.62% p.a. on the said notional amount in four quarterly instalments, with maturity date of June 2022. The movement in fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year was a financial expense of EUR0.2m (31 December 2015: financial income of EUR0.7m).

On 30 June 2016, the Group had interest rate cap instruments valued market-to-market at EURnil m (31 December 2015: for EUR0.2m) for secured bank loans 6, 11 and 22 (see note 12) under which the Group capped EURIBOR at 1.25% for 50% of the notional loan facilities. These derivative financial instruments were fair valued (level 2) at each reporting date and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of income within finance cost. The change in the fair value during the period ended 30 June 2016 was a loss of EUR0.2m (31 December 2015: financial expense of EUR0.2m).

The Group assessed that the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities, such as trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, income tax receivable and payables, trade and other payables and deposits from tenants, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities and low transaction costs of these instruments as of the statement of financial position date.

Ordinary shares carry no right to fixed income but are entitled to dividends as declared from time to time. Each Ordinary share is entitled to one vote at meetings of the Company. There is no limit on the authorised share capital of the Company. The Company can issue no par value and par value shares as the shareholders see fit for the five year period following the incorporation of the Company (unless renewed, revoked or varied by a general meeting). This authority has not been revoked by the shareholders.

Under Guernsey Company Law there is no distinction between distributable and non-distributable reserves, requiring instead that a company passes a solvency test in order to be able to make distributions to shareholders. Similarly, share premium for issuance of shares above their par value per share is recognised directly under share capital and no separate share premium reserve account is recognised.

Shares issued for settlement of interest-bearing liability

On 8 June 2016, the Company issued 1.0m shares for the settlement of EUR6.0m, an aggregate amount payable by the Company to lenders of a short term corporate level facility ("Facility"), in respect of a prepayment fee payable by the Company under the Facility which was prepaid in full during the period, see note 12. The ordinary shares have been issued at EUR6.00 per ordinary share as the placing price at the last fundraising by the Company in September 2015, and equates to a premium of 18 per cent. to the closing middle--market price on 8 June 2016. The 1.0m new shares rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company.

16.1 Executive Share Option Plan

Under the plan, the Directors of the Group were awarded share options warrants as remuneration of the services performed. The share options granted to the Directors of the Group are equity settled.

During 2013, the Group granted warrants to the Founder and the Directors which entitle each holder to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of EUR5.00 per share if the market price of an ordinary share, on a weighted average basis over 60 consecutive days, exceeds a specific target price and the holder is employed on such date. The contractual term of each warrant granted is ten years. There are no cash settlement alternatives and the Group does not have the intention to offer cash settlement for these warrants.

The following table analyses the total cost of the executive share option plan (Warrants), together with the number of options outstanding.

Shares issued to the executive directors and other senior management employees

On 25 January 2016, the Company issued 0.4m ordinary shares (ordinary shares of no par value) and delivered them to the Executive Directors and other senior management employees from share based payment reserve, on behalf of its subsidiary GIAL, in order to settle a liability of EUR2.4m owed by the Company to its subsidiary, related to the fees charged by GIAL to the Company pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement concluded between the Company and GIAL. The 0.4m new shares rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company. The ordinary shares have been issued at EUR5.77 per ordinary share, representing the volume--weighted average market price over the 90 trading days prior to the date of allotment.

Reclassification from Liabilities to Equity

On 8 April 2016, the Board approved the award of an additional fee of EUR3.6m to GIAL for the services rendered to the Company during the year ended 31 December 2015, which in turn GIAL will utilise in order reward its Executive Directors and other senior management employees for the work carried out for GIAL during the year ended 31 December 2015. The Board also agreed that 50% of the amount payable by GIAL to the Executive Directors and other senior management employees, or EUR1.8m, recorded as a liability as at 31 December 2015, will be settled in the form of ordinary shares in the Company, which the Company will deliver within September 2016 to GIAL in settlement of 50% of the additional fee awarded to it as outlined above, following a decision of the Board of the Company on 19 September 2016. The ordinary shares to be issued shortly will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company.

17. Capital Management

The Company has no legal capital regulatory requirement. The Group's policy is to maintain a strong equity capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the continuous development of its business. The Board considers from time to time whether it may be appropriate to raise new capital by a further issue of shares.

The Group monitors capital primarily using a loan-to-value ratio, which is calculated as the amount of outstanding debt divided by the open market value of its investment property portfolio as certified by external valuers. As at 30 June 2016 the loan-to-value ratio was 43.7% (2015: 43.9%).

23. Contingencies

Taxation

All amounts due to State authorities for taxes have been paid or accrued at the statement of financial position date. The Romanian tax system undergoes a consolidation process and is being harmonised with the European legislation. Different interpretations may exist at the level of the tax authorities in relation to the tax legislation that may result in additional taxes and penalties payable. Where the State authorities have findings from reviews relating to breaches of Romania's tax laws, and related regulations these may result in: confiscation of the amounts in case; additional tax liabilities being payable; fines and penalties (that are applied on the total outstanding amount). As a result the fiscal penalties resulting from breaches of the legal provisions may result in a significant amount payable to the State. The Group believes that it has paid in due time and in full all applicable taxes, penalties and penalty interests in the applicable extent.

Transfer Pricing

According to the applicable relevant Romanian tax legislation, the tax assessment of related party transactions is based on the concept of market value for the respective transfers. Following this concept, the transfer prices should be adjusted so that they reflect the market prices that would have been set between unrelated companies acting independently (i.e. based on the "arm's length principle"). It is likely that transfer pricing reviews will be undertaken in the future in order to assess whether the transfer pricing policy observes the "arm's length principle" and therefore no distortion exists that may affect the taxable base of the Romanian tax payer.

24. Subsequent Events
