Chairman's Statement

2017 was a more stable year in which we developed significant momentum in our underlying business. Fee income was significantly increased and our assets under management surged. However, we did report a small loss in the year which included one-off restructuring and incentive costs.

Performance

The business delivered another year of strong growth in fee and commission income in addition to asset management based revenue. Our investment performance was strong across various asset classes and we closed real estate transactions in the UK, UAE and Germany.

The highlight of the year was the substantial increase in our assets under management from US$956 million to over US$1.747 billion. This reflects our ongoing investment in our platform and new product development as well as our shift into alternative assets and real estate.

Whilst costs have increased, this largely reflects a first full year consolidation of our investment in RAL, as well as one-off restructuring and incentive costs.

We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet and cost control measures, therefore positioning ourselves to support our business and any new opportunities that may arise.

Market Developments

It was another year of disappointing economic performance for the GCC economies in 2017 with the region managing growth of just 0.5 percent down from 2.5 percent the previous year. This was due to lower oil production, tighter fiscal policy and the impact on the non-oil sector. External debt issuance rose during the year to help finance large fiscal deficits.

Corporate Governance

We maintain our commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance and regularly assess our independence and skills to ensure board effectiveness. The company adheres to the 2013 Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-size Quoted Companies (the "QCA" Code). During the year the Company undertook an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board, its committees and its Directors. The evaluation was led by the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee ("NRC"). Board members were also required to complete a skills matrix to identify relative strengths and weaknesses across many skill sets that the Board considers integral to its performance.

Based on the evaluation, the Company provided a number of training sessions to Board members. Some of these sessions were led by external experts whereas others were led by members of the Company's Risk and Compliance teams.

Corporate Developments

During the year we took further steps to reorganize our business in line with our strategic objectives.

The Board decided to further simplify our business by relinquishing our UK FCA permissions. Following a consultation process with all relevant stakeholders, we took necessary steps to implement this decision in a careful and considered manner.

In October we launched a tender offer in the amount of GBP35 million (US$46 million) with only GBP23.4 million (US$30 million) being taken up. We also increased our shareholding in Rasmala Holdings Limited to 100%. These two corporate actions reduced our net assets during the year. The total amount distributed to shareholders over the last five years by the Company amounts to an aggregate of GBP43.4 million. During the last five years, the Company undertook a major acquisition, restructured the combined business and reduced debt by approximately US$45 million.

Outlook

Economic growth is expected to improve in 2018 driven by a recovery in oil prices, the end of oil production cuts after 2018 and an easing of fiscal austerity. We are also likely to see a corresponding increase in investors' risk appetite and are well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that are likely to arise. We are now in growth mode and on the lookout for expansion opportunities whilst maintaining focus on our current strategy.

Chief executive's strategic review

On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to present my review of 2017 as part of our Strategic Report.

Results

Rasmala delivered satisfactory performance in its core businesses in the period up to 31 December 2017.

Total operating income was GBP12.1 million (2016: GBP3.6 million). Total expenses for the year were GBP13.5 million (2016: GBP11.7 million). The resulting operating loss for the period was GBP1.4 million (2016: GBP8.1 million).

These results consolidate Red Apartments Limited ("RAL"), a serviced apartment provider we acquired in December 2016. Looking at our results on a like for like basis (excluding RAL) total operating income for the period was GBP11.1 million (2016: GBP3.6 million) and expenses for the period were GBP12.0 million (2016: GBP11.7 million).

The underlying business continued to strengthen for the third consecutive year with fees and commissions rising 31 percent from GBP7.1 million in 2016 to GBP9.3 million. This performance reflects a more diversified product offering and confidence from our clients in our new initiatives. We expect this trend to continue in 2018.

The Asset Management business performed well, with assets under management surging 83 percent and investment performance remaining strong. This growth was driven by adding new regional and global distribution partners whilst offering new innovative investment solutions to our investors.

The Investment Banking business strengthened its reputation as a provider of high-quality real estate investment opportunities. During the year, we completed real estate transactions in the UK, Germany and the UAE.

We managed our cost base carefully and continued to look for efficiencies wherever possible. Our expenses for the year include restructuring costs as well as a discretionary award to executive management, covering the last five-year period.

We maintain the financial resources required to support our business with strong capital and liquidity positions. As of 31st December 2017, Rasmala had total capital of GBP59.6 million on a consolidated basis, which is post the tender offer and our full acquisition of RHL. The total capital of the Company on a stand-alone basis was GBP75.5 million.

Asset Management

Our investment performance during the period was positive across most funds and client portfolios. We have seen significant interest in our product offerings with strong gross inflows of US$801 million during the year. This was very encouraging with diversified flows continuing across our product offering. As at 31 December 2017 our AuM increased 83 percent from US$ 956 million in 2016 to US$1.747 billion.

The business continued to expand its product offering in alternative investments, providing clients with greater choice and enhancing our ability to retain and grow assets in volatile conditions.

Some performance highlights of the year included; Rasmala Trade Finance Fund, which generated a net return for investors of 5.05 percent and Rasmala Leasing Funds 1 and 2, which have to date paid average annual cash distributions of 5.56 percent and 5.93 percent respectively.

We also saw strong performances from Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund and ABC Fund. Both received acknowledgement from the MENA Fund Manager Performance Awards and continued to perform well against strong market headwinds.

The Rasmala Trade Finance Fund received significant investor interest on the back of strong performance. The fund specialises in providing short-term structured and/or asset-backed liquidity to companies trading real assets in the real economy and has delivered 12 consecutive months of positive returns generating an annualised return of 5.05 percent for investors since inception. The fund has seen interest from regional and international institutional investors as well as family offices, corporates and high net worth investors. The Rasmala Trade Finance Fund invested US$461 million in 831 transactions and generated a net return of 15.72 percent since inception.

Investment Banking

Our Investment Banking team led our Group's efforts to further expand into real estate.

In the first half of the year, the Investment Banking team successfully originated and structured the acquisition of Amazon's largest distribution warehouse in the UK for GBP61 million (US$77 million). The acquired property is leased to Amazon with an unexpired term of fifteen years. The investment generates an annual cash dividend yield of 6.5 percent per annum. The property extends over an area of more than one million square feet.

Rasmala also originated and structured the acquisition of 48 warehouses in Dubai covering over 500,000 square feet (BUA) for approximately US$63 million (AED234 million) in partnership with a UAE bank and other leading Gulf investors.

The warehouses are located in Dubai Investments Park (DIP), a mixed-use industrial, commercial and residential complex to the east of Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), a major regional sea port and business hub in Dubai. The acquisition was through a sale and leaseback arrangement with a large UAE conglomerate by way of a triple net lease for a term of seven years. These properties are sub-let to a diverse group of high quality tenants operating across different sectors. The transaction was financed through a combination of equity and a Sharia compliant financing facility, with a UAE bank participating as a strategic seed investor and sole financier. This transaction follows the previous acquisition of 72 warehouses so that Rasmala has now originated and structured for its clients 120 warehouses in DIP covering 1.2 million square feet.

In December we also originated and structured the acquisition of a major new million-square foot logistics facility for US$146 million (EUR122 million) in Dortmund Westfalenhutte, Germany and let to Amazon Logistik Dortmund GmbH and Amazon Logistik Westfalenhutte GmbH.

We simultaneously originated and structured the acquisition of a second facility for US$40 million (EUR33.3 million) in Dortmund Westfalenhutte, let to DD Logistik Vertriebs Gmbh (Decathlon) a subsidiary of Decathlon S.A, the largest sporting goods retailer in the world.

Apart from our focus on Real Estate opportunities in the UK, Europe and the UAE, we are now looking at opportunities in the United States.

Principal Investments and Treasury

Principal Investments (PI) is primarily focused on providing seed capital for new Asset Management products, underwriting Investment Banking transactions and making direct investments. PI is also responsible for day-to-day management of group liquidity, foreign exchange, capital and balance sheet management.

During the year we acquired the remaining shares of our subsidiary Rasmala Holdings Limited ("RHL") from the existing RHL minority shareholders. As a result of these acquisitions our total shareholding in RHL increased from 76.3 percent to 100 percent, in line with our stated objective.

We acquired a controlling interest in Orchard Apartments Limited in December 2016. The business operates in the expanding corporate serviced apartments sector and gives us a foothold in a market with significant growth potential. In our first full year of ownership, we saw year on year increases in revenue (up 30 percent), occupancy rates (up 7 percent) and number of units (up 14 percent).

There were no further exits from our legacy portfolio in 2017.

Market Outlook

Global growth is forecast at 3.9 percent in 2018 compared to 3.7 percent in 2017, per the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"). The more positive global growth environment should support somewhat stronger oil demand.

Growth in the GCC is expected to reach 2.7 percent by 2020, supported by easing fiscal adjustments, infrastructure investments such as Dubai Expo 2020 and reforms to promote non-oil sector activity.

Fiscal balances are expected to improve further from 2018 to 2020, reflecting plans for reducing subsidies and introducing taxes in many economies, as well as the effects of somewhat higher oil prices on revenues among oil exporters.

The reform programme in Saudi Arabia is gathering pace and the expected inclusion of Saudi Arabia into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index will increase the weight of the GCC region to around 4 percent to 6 percent of the total allowing the region to finally claim a permanent allocation into any emerging markets portfolio.

Corporate Developments

In 2017 it was decided to further simplify our business by relinquishing our UK FCA permissions. Following a consultation process with all relevant stakeholders, the Board took necessary steps to implement this decision in a careful and considered manner. The FCA approved our application to relinquish our UK permissions and although our parent company is no longer regulated we continue to operate regulated subsidiaries. The Board is currently evaluating options for further strengthening our corporate governance structure throughout the Group.

The Board concluded that the business was in a stronger position to access debt and equity capital when required, and accordingly decided to make further capital distribution to our shareholders. We returned capital to shareholders through a tender offer of GBP23.4 million (US$30 million). Upon completing the tender offer the total amount distributed to Shareholders over the last five years by the Company would amount to an aggregate of GBP43.4 million.

A number of other steps were taken to achieve our strategic milestones, including increasing our shareholding in Rasmala Holdings Limited to 100 percent, which was mentioned earlier, and removing the restriction to conduct all business in a Sharia compliant manner. The full acquisition of RHL will allow us to further simplify and strengthen the governance structure of the Group.

Outlook

Although market conditions remain volatile we have a positive outlook for 2018. We plan to build on the asset growth achieved in 2017 with stable and resilient strategies that will capture investor interest.

Rasmala will continue to enhance our product platform, develop our team and strengthen our distribution capability and will be on the lookout for growth opportunities.
