TIDMBLD RNS Number : 2383I Bulgarian Land Development PLC 08 March 2010 Bulgarian Land Development Plc Preliminary statement for the year ended 31 December 2009 Bulgarian Land Development Plc (the "Group" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted Bulgarian property developer, today announces its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2009. Unaudited Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 December 2009 Chairman's Statement Introduction 2009 was a difficult year for the Group as the widespread turmoil undermining real estate markets worldwide continued throughout the year. In August 2008 we committed to return some cash to shareholders but during the preparation for a tender offer to shareholders in 2009 the terms of bank finance for the development of the Printing House project by BLD Office Park AD ("BLD Office Park"), a joint venture company in which the Company has a 50% interest, were progressively and unilaterally amended by the bank. The bank is Greek-owned. In these circumstances the Directors announced that the Company may need to utilise existing resources to complete the development and the tender offer was postponed. The directors of BLD Office Park have been negotiating with the bank for several months although funds have continued to be made available to BLD Office Park, albeit at a lower level than originally agreed. There is no recourse to the Group for the bank finance that has been drawn down by BLD Office Park. Construction has continued at the site and, to date, BLD Office Park has not required further equity from the Company. The directors of BLD Office Park expect a satisfactory conclusion to the negotiations with the bank to be reached. However should that not happen and if the Directors of the Company choose to complete the development without further third-party financing, the Group has sufficient cash resources (that would otherwise have been distributed to shareholders). Construction is progressing and remains within budget with practical completion due in summer 2010. The Directors are in detailed discussions with a number of prospective tenants for the project. In the circumstances, the Directors have adopted a prudent approach in preparing the financial information and provided against the net amount due to the Group from BLD Office Park. The Directors have reduced costs in the Group and will seek to reduce these further while activity levels are low. Overview of progress to date In addition to the Printing House development the Group has continued to sell remaining units at its Harmony Hills development as well as off-plan units acquired at Bansko and Sozopol. Construction of one block was commenced at July Morning, Kavarna to satisfy demand from a number of buyers who had paid deposits for their units. It is expected that construction will be completed in summer 2010. During 2009 BLD has sought to add value selectively, at low cost, to its existing development sites. Re-zoning applications to allow residential development are in progress at two parcels of agricultural land near Sofia and a building permit has been obtained for BLD Sofia Tower for a development of 17,945 square metres, an increase on the 13,899 square metres for which initial permission was granted in December 2008. Of the 32 units remaining at Harmony Hills, Rogachevo preliminary contracts have been signed for 23. Deposits averaging 71% have been paid on these units and completion is expected on them during 2010, 9 units remain for sale and 2 buyers having decided not to complete, forfeited their deposits. The Group has recognised a profit of EUR0.25m for sales of units at Harmony Hills and EUR0.1m profit on off-plan sales in the year ended 31 December 2009. Net asset value Net asset value per share as at 31 December 2009 fell to EUR0.79 (31 December 2008: EUR1.01), due to the loss per share of EUR0.22 (2008: EUR0.01 loss). At 30 June 2009 the Group reported a loss of 19.7p per share (equivalent to EUR0.22 per share) and net asset value per share of 71.1p (equivalent to EUR0.84 per share at the exchange rate at that time). The Group has changed its functional and presentational currency to Euro to reflect the fact that virtually all assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of the Group are now recorded in Euro or Lev; which is pegged to the Euro. This reduces significantly many of the changes in asset values due to exchange movements. Jones Lang LaSalle Services SRL ("JLL") have carried out an independent valuation of BLD's incomplete sites as at 31 December 2009, which shows a valuation of EUR37.4m (31 December 2008: EUR47.9m). This valuation has not been incorporated within the results. Had this been done, the net assets would have increased in value to EUR0.86 per share, an uplift of 9% on the book value. Risk and cost awareness In light of the continuing weak market and funding difficulties in Bulgaria the Board continues to strive to reduce risk and costs going forward. All decisions are made with those criteria in mind in order to protect value for shareholders. Risk reduction has included cautiously adding value to developments by re-zoning, obtaining building permits, reducing development costs or postponing developments. All costs have been reviewed in the light of the lower level of current and proposed development activity and, as always, with respect to the value provided to shareholders. No bonuses have been awarded to directors for 2009 and the non-executive directors have voluntarily reduced their fees temporarily despite the increase in their workload created by the current situation. Outlook The Board is prepared for further difficult conditions in the upcoming year. The priority is to manage BLD in a way that protects asset value for shareholders by reducing both risks and costs and, as such, will consider the sale of assets if financially justified. I should like to thank Christo Iliev, our CEO, Dimitar Savov, our Executive Officer and the team in Bulgaria for their achievements and hard work in 2009. The team is well placed to address the new challenges and opportunities of market conditions in 2010.

This unaudited preliminary financial information for the year ended 31 December 2009 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 (as amended). The comparatives for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007 are not the Company's full statutory accounts for those years which were presented and audited in sterling. The auditors' reports on those accounts were unqualified. The statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007, which were prepared in accordance with applicable Isle of Man company law and International Financing Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"), have been filed with the Isle of Man Companies Registry and copies can be obtained from the Registered Office of the Company at 3rd Floor, 14 Athol Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1JA. This unaudited preliminary financial information includes the results of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company for the period under review. 2. Significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation The financial information is for the year ended 31 December 2009 and has been prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies based on IFRS applicable for the 2009 financial year. 2.2 Functional and presentational currency With effect from 1 July 2009 the functional currency of the Company changed from sterling to Euro. The functional currency of the Dutch subsidiary is Euros and that of the Bulgarian subsidiaries is Bulgarian Lev (a currency pegged to the Euro) as this is the primary currency in which the subsidiaries operate. During May and June 2009 the Company's loans to its subsidiaries were repaid and new loans made by the Dutch subsidiary. Hence, from 1 July 2009 virtually all income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries have been denominated in Euros. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at 1 July 2009 were translated at the following rates: +----+---------+ | EUR1 | GBP | | = | 0.90027 | +----+---------+ | EUR1 | lev | | = | 1.95583 | +----+---------+ As the Company's functional currency changed from sterling to Euro, the Directors decided to change the presentational currency of the Group's and the Company's financial information from sterling to Euro. The statements of financial position at 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007 and the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2008 have been restated in Euros at the following exchange rates: +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | | Statement of Financial | | Statement of Comprehensive Income | | | | Position | | | | +---------------+-------------------------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | | 31 December 2008 | 31 December 2007 | | Year ended 31 December 2008 | | +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | | | | | | | +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | GBP sterling | 0.97576 | 0.73480 | | 0.80123 | | +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | | | | | | | +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | Bulgarian lev | 1.95583 | 1.95583 | | 1.95583 | | +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | | | | | | | +---------------+------------------+------------------+-------------+-----------------------------------+-------------+ No other changes have been made to prior year statements other than for the restatement for the change in presentational currency. 3. Taxation There is no taxation payable on the Company's results as it is based in the Isle of Man where, since 6th April 2006, the Corporate Income Tax rate for Isle of Man resident companies has been zero percent. Provision has been made for EUR0.199m (31 December 2008: EUR0.323m), being EUR0.188m (31 December 2008: EUR0.312m) 10% Bulgarian withholding tax on interest on inter-company loans and management charges payable by the Bulgarian subsidiaries and EUR0.011m (31 December 2008: EUR0.021m) deferred tax in the principal Bulgarian subsidiary. 4. Basic and diluted loss per share Basic (loss) per share for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2008 has been calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the number of shares in issue for the period, being 40 million. There are no dilutive shares, share options or similar instruments in existence and therefore the diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share. 5. Share capital +----------+-------------------------------------+----------+----------+ | | | 31 | 31 | | | | December | December | | | | 2009 | 2008 | +----------+-------------------------------------+----------+----------+ | | | GBP'000 | GBP'000 | +----------+-------------------------------------+----------+----------+ | Authorised | 1,000 | 1,000 | | 100,000,000 ordinary shares of 1p each | | | +------------------------------------------------+----------+----------+ | | | | | +----------+-------------------------------------+----------+----------+ | Issued and fully paid | | | +------------------------------------------------+----------+----------+ | 40,000,000 ordinary shares of 1p each | 400 | 400 | +----------+-------------------------------------+----------+----------+ Under a management incentive scheme more fully described in note 13 of the 2008 financial statements, a performance fee can become payable wholly or partly in shares to a company controlled by Christo Iliev if certain share price related targets are met.
