Chairman's Message

Against the backdrop of geopolitical white noise surrounding Russia in the last six months, we have experienced a reasonably stable but busy trading environment. This has allowed us to continue adapting to the Rouble market rent model, whilst cushioning the impact by seeking market rented acquisitions which will support our top line as we continue the transition over the next two or three years.

We completed the acquisition of a portfolio of office and warehouse properties in St Petersburg in April this year for $86.6 million which generates $13.8 million of net operating income ("NOI") per annum, contributing $3 million of NOI in the half year since the date of acquisition. We have also completed another fund raising by way of the issue of new convertible preference shares, raising GBP102 million in July, giving us cash reserves of some $237 million today. These funds will be used for acquisitions and we hope to complete a second significant acquisition in Moscow before the end of the year. These acquisitions are typically un-geared, which gives us the opportunity to recycle part of our equity for future projects.

Occupancy levels on the warehouse portfolio have not changed significantly, 79% at 30 June 2017 (31 December 2016: 80%) and our office portfolio, principally the acquisitions, have been fully let throughout the period. We are seeing a greater level of interest in all vacant space and hope to see the benefits of that in the second half of the year.

The Rouble began the year at 60.6 to the US Dollar and ended the six months at 59.1. Valuation metrics on the existing portfolio have remained flat and the valuation uplift on the acquisition portfolio is gratifying.

Rouble denominated leases account for 40% of our total warehouse space at 30 June 2017 (26%: 31 December 2016).

With basic underlying earnings per share of 2.3 cents (2016: 4.8 cents), it is our intention to distribute the equivalent of 1p per ordinary share (30 June 2016: 0.5p per ordinary share) by way of a tender offer buy back of 1 in 52 shares at 52p per share.

We are again grateful to all of our shareholders who continue to believe in our business model and the potential for our market.

Chief Executive's Review

Dear Shareholders,

I am delighted to report that our market has gone through a fairly dull period. Something we have been looking forward to for some time.

The US Dollar/Rouble exchange rate has remained stable as have market rents. Demand is improving and we have seen encouraging levels of interest for space in the year. The Russian economy is growing slowly and inflation and interest rates are falling. Since December 2014, Central Bank rates have fallen from the high of 17% to 9% today and are expected to continue that trend.

We are looking actively to acquire income producing assets and are at various stages of due diligence, negotiation and offers on some attractive investments at what we feel is the right time in the cycle.

Although focussed on logistics warehousing, we are seeing opportunities in other real estate sectors which we are considering. Our current cash balance of $237 million gives us plenty of firepower to invest further. Approximately 70% of our cash balances are now held in Roubles.

Our financial results have met expectations but do not fully reflect the portfolio acquisition completed in April which will contribute fully in the second half of the year and is performing well.

Results

We continue our orderly transition to new market norms. Our net operating and related income has dropped to $70 million for the half year compared to $77 million in the six months to 30 June 2016. Administrative expenses and foreign exchange profits reflect a less volatile currency environment for both Rouble and Sterling compared to 2016.

Underlying earnings for the period were $15.5 million compared to $31.5 million in the six months to 30 June 2016, the reduction a factor of lower NOI, foreign exchange gains and increased corporation tax provisioning.

Basic underlying earnings per share have reduced to 2.3 cents (30 June 2016: 4.8 cents).

In contrast, IFRS earnings after tax continued to recover at $9.2 million for the six months (2016: $8.8 million) supported by an improving investment property market with a net valuation surplus of $11.6 million in the period (30 June 2016: deficit of $8.5 million). Basic IFRS earnings per share remain at 1.4 cents.

Fully diluted adjusted net asset value per share increased to 70 cents (31 December 2016: 68 cents) and IFRS diluted net asset value per share to 72 cents (31 December 2016: 71 cents). Cash balances at 30 June 2017 were $108.1 million (31 December 2016: $198.6 million) increasing to $237 million today following the issue of new convertible preference shares in July.

Warehouse occupancy levels at the period end were 79% (31 December 2016: 80%). At 30 June 2017 we had 140,000sqm of warehouse breaks and maturities remaining in 2017 and as of today, we are confident that 93,000sqm of that space will continue to be occupied at the year end and we are continuing negotiations on the remaining 47,000sqm. New leases totalling 52,500sqm have been signed since the half year, we currently have 22,300sqm of letters of intent signed and do not expect any notices on the remaining breaks. Our focus for the final quarter is converting the increased interest in our vacant space.

At 30 June 2017, 36% of our total warehouse space (31 December 2016: 50%) had US Dollar denominated leases with an average warehouse rental level of $139 per sqm and a weighted average term to maturity of 3.17 years. The average rent is higher than would be expected as the majority of space is high specification and temperature controlled. Rouble denominated or capped leases account for 40% (31 December 2016: 26%) of our total space with an average warehouse rent of Roubles 5,600 per sqm and a weighted average term to maturity of 3.05 years. Rouble leases have an average minimum annual indexation of 6.1%.

The St Petersburg office portfolio is fully let. Two of the assets have long term sole tenants and the third which is multi-let, has had significant interest from new tenants and expansion requirements from existing tenants. Leases are predominately Rouble denominated, (71% of space) with three Euro leases (25%) and one US Dollar lease (4%).

Financing

On 3 July 2017 the Company completed the placing of further convertible preference shares, raising GBP102 million at a subscription price of GBP1.14 per share. The convertible preference shares now have a 9 year term, a cumulative preference dividend of 6.5p per annum and are redeemable on maturity at GBP1.35. The holders currently have the right to convert to ordinary shares at a conversion factor of 1.779 per convertible preference share. The shares were listed on The International Stock Exchange and trade on the SETSqx platform of the London Stock Exchange.

We are now seeing the benefit of the secured debt restructuring completed last year, the cost of debt amortisation dropping from $34 million to $20 million for the six months. Secured debt has a loan to value ratio of 53.4% (30 June 2016: 62.9%), a cost of debt of 7.8% (30 June 2016: 7.1%) and weighted average term to maturity of 4.4 years (30 June 2016: 3.5 years).

We completed the refinancing of one secured debt facility in the period, are close to completing a second and have commenced refinancing of the new St Petersburg portfolio which we also expect to complete this quarter. The margins on these new facilities are significantly lower than our current cost of debt and so we expect to put downward pressure on this in the short term, despite the increase in our cost of debt following the recent US LIBOR hikes. All of our debt is hedged with interest rate caps or fixed rate facilities.

Foreign exchange

The relative stability of the US Dollar/Rouble exchange rate in the period meant no significant foreign exchange impact on our net operating income. The continuing weak Sterling, following the Brexit referendum and this year's election, continues to have a positive effect on funding the returns on our Sterling capital instruments. As we still have a high percentage of our income pegged to the US Dollar, our debt service obligations remain partly hedged. We will monitor this over the next 24 months and if the central bank rate continues to drop as Rouble income increases then Rouble debt facilities will become the more attractive option.

Cash flow

Operating cashflows have remained stable in the six months, generating $48.8 million (30 June 2016: $49.9 million). The major cash movement in the period was the payment of consideration for the acquisition of the new St Petersburg portfolio, a net cash outflow of $84.2 million.

Tender offer

We are proposing a distribution of the equivalent of 1p per ordinary share by way of tender offer buy back of 1 in 52 shares at 52p (30 June 2016: 0.5p by way of an offer of 1 in 80 shares at 40p). This reflects our progress and financial performance so far this year.

Going concern

The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity and borrowings are described in the Chief Executive's Review and the accompanying financial statements and related notes. During the period the Group had, and continues to hold, substantial cash and short term deposits and is generating underlying profits. Since the period end, additional funds have been raised through the issue of new convertible preference shares. As a consequence, the Directors believe the Group is well placed to manage its business risks.

After making enquiries and examining major areas that could give rise to significant financial exposure, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the accompanying interim financial statements.

Directors' Responsibility Statement

The Board confirms to the best of its knowledge:

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union, and that the half year report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R and DTR 4.2.8R.

The names and functions of the Directors of Raven Russia Limited are disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report of the Group.

This responsibility statement was approved by the Board of Directors on the 28 August 2017 and is signed on its behalf by

   Mark Sinclair                                                            Colin Smith

Independent review report to Raven Russia Limited

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2017 which comprises the Condensed Unaudited Group Income Statement, the Condensed Unaudited Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Unaudited Group Balance Sheet, the Condensed Unaudited Group Statement of Changes in Equity, the Condensed Unaudited Group Cash Flow Statement and the related notes 1 to 20. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

 Notes to the Condensed Unaudited 
  Group Financial Statements 
 For the six months ended 
  30 June 2017 
 
 1. Basis of accounting 
 
  Basis of preparation 
  The condensed unaudited financial statements have been 
  prepared using accounting policies consistent with International 
  Financial Reporting Standards adopted for use in the European 
  Union ("IFRS") and have been prepared in accordance with 
  International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial 
  Reporting". 
 
  The condensed financial statements do not include all the 
  information and disclosures required in annual financial 
  statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's 
  financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. 
 
  Significant accounting policies 
  The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the 
  condensed financial statements are consistent with those 
  followed in the preparation of the Group's financial statements 
  for the year ended 31 December 2016. 
 
  The Group has adopted new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations 
  as of 1 January 2017, which did not have any effect on 
  the financial performance, financial position or disclosures 
  in the financial statements of the Group. 
 
  The Group has not adopted early any standard, interpretation 
  or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. 
  The requirements of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, which are effective 
  from 1 January 2018, have been assessed and neither are 
  expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial 
  statements. 
 
  Going concern 
  The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity 
  position and borrowings are described in the Chief Executive's 
  Review and the notes to these interim financial statements. 
  After making appropriate enquiries and examining sensitivities 
  that could give rise to financial exposure, the Board has 
  a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources 
  to continue operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, 
  the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in 
  the preparation of these interim financial statements. 
 
 2. Segmental information 
 
  The Group has three operating segments, which are managed 
  and report independently to the Board of Directors. These 
  comprise: 
 
  Property investment - acquire, develop and lease commercial 
  property in Russia; 
  Roslogistics - provision of warehousing, transport, customs 
  brokerage and related services in Russia; and

 The majority of income not subject to tax and non-deductible 
  expenses relates to income and expenditure arising in Guernsey. 
  The tax effect of financing arrangements includes intra 
  group financing arrangements and the effect of foreign 
  currency loans entered into by the Group's Russian subsidiaries. 
  Unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses are taxable 
  or tax deductible in Russia. Therefore the movement in 
  each period is a factor of the related movement in the 
  underlying exchange rates, principally the US Dollar / 
  Rouble rate. 
 
  As noted in the 2016 Annual Report, the Group is required 
  to estimate its provision for uncertain tax positions. 
  During the period the provision has increased, as shown 
  in the tax reconciliation above, as a consequence of ongoing 
  tax clarifications and interpretations. 
 
 6. Earnings measures 
 
 In addition to reporting IFRS earnings the Group also reports 
  its own underlying earnings measure. The Directors consider 
  underlying earnings to be a key performance measure, as 
  this is the measure used by Management to assess the return 
  on holding investment assets for the long term and the 
  Group's ability to declare covered distributions. As a 
  consequence the underlying earnings measure excludes investment 
  property revaluations, gains or losses on the disposal 
  of investment property, intangible asset movements, gains 
  and losses on derivative financial instruments, share-based 
  payments and other long term incentives (to the extent 
  not settled in cash), the accretion of premiums payable 
  on redemption of preference shares and convertible preference 
  shares, material non-recurring items, depreciation and 
  amortisation of loan origination costs, together with any 
  related tax.

                                                                                               ended          ended

 The calculation of basic and diluted 
  earnings per share is based on the following 
  data:                                                                                         2017           2016

 The finance expense for the period relating to the convertible 
  preference shares is greater than IFRS basic earnings per 
  share and thus the convertible preference shares are not 
  dilutive for IFRS fully diluted earnings per share. In 
  the case of underlying earnings per share the convertible 
  preference shares are dilutive and have been incorporated 
  into the calculation of fully diluted underlying earnings 
  per share.

 In preparing their valuations at 30 June 2017, JLL have 
  again made reference to the uncertainty caused in the market 
  by the low oil price, weak Rouble and continuing sanctions. 
  This was the case at 31 December 2016 and the impact of 
  this on the valuation process is set out more fully in 
  note 13 of the 2016 Annual Report.

 Allocations are transfers by the Company's Employee Benefit 
  Trusts to settle CBLTIS awards that vest and to satisfy 
  ERS and LTIP options exercised in the period. The amounts 
  shown for share movements are net of the Trustees' participation 
  in tender offers during the period from grant to exercise. 
  Details of outstanding ERS and LTIP options, which are 
  vested but unexercised, are given in note 17a. 
 
 16. Net asset value 
  per share 
 
 As well as reporting IFRS net asset value per share, the 
  Group also reports its own adjusted net asset value and 
  adjusted net asset value per share measure. The Directors 
  consider that the adjusted measure provides more relevant 
  information to shareholders as to the net asset value of 
  a property investment group with a strategy of long term 
  investment. The adjustments remove or adjust assets and 
  liabilities, including goodwill and amounts relating to 
  irredeemable preference shares, that are not expected to 
  crystallise in normal circumstances.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be 
 accessed at the balance sheet date. 
 
 Level 2 - Use of a model with inputs that are directly or indirectly observable market data. 
 
 Level 3 - Use of a model with inputs that are not based on observable market data. 
 
 The Group's foreign currency derivative financial instruments are call options and are measured 
 based on spot exchange rates, the yield curves of the respective currencies as well as the 
 currency basis spreads between the respective currencies. The Group's interest rate derivative 
 financial instruments comprise swap contracts and interest rate caps. These contracts are 
 valued using a discounted cash flow model and where not cash collateralised consideration 
 is given to the Group's own credit risk. 
 
 20. Acquisitions in the period 
 
The Group made three acquisitions in the period, Gorigo Logistics Park, Primium Business Centre 
 and Kellerman Business Centre, each from the same investment fund. The Group purchased each 
 of the properties by acquiring all of the issued share capital of the corporate vehicles that 
 owned the properties. In accordance with its accounting policy, the Group considered each 
 acquisition in turn, assessing whether an integrated set of activities had been acquired in 
 addition to the property. In each case it was concluded a business had not been purchased 
 but rather the acquisition of a group of assets and related liabilities.
