ADVISER'S REPORT

On 31 December 2014, Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2") had a total audited net asset value ("NAV") of EUR 37.7m or EUR 0.3775 per share, a 14.8% increase over the year, primarily due to an increase in the market value of its shareholding in Albalact SA which is listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

RC2's audited undiluted NAV per share of EUR 0.3775 as at the end of 2014 compares to an unaudited published NAV per share of EUR 0.3771. The fully diluted NAV per share of EUR 0.2812 as at the end of 2014 compares to an unaudited published NAV per share of EUR 0.2810. The variance between the audited and published NAV's is a result of the consolidation of New Europe Capital Limited, which is not consolidated in the published NAV.

At the end of 2014, RC2 had cash and cash equivalents of EUR 0.7m. RC2's borrowings, after allocating EUR 0.62m of the proceeds from the convertible loan note to equity reserves in accordance with applicable accounting standards, amounted to EUR 8.0m, whilst suppliers' liabilities amounted to EUR 0.8m.

In 2014, RC2 issued a convertible loan note of EUR 8.45m, the proceeds of which enabled the Company to repay prior borrowings and overdue suppliers while providing working capital for its current operations.

Private Equity Programme

RC2 did not make any new investments under its Private Equity Programme, and continued to pursue a number of exits, both from its investee companies as well as from certain assets held by them. The investments held under the Private Equity Programme had a fair value of EUR 44m at the end of 2014, an increase of 16.1% year-on-year. This was primarily due to the increase in market value of the Albalact SA holding by 69% to EUR 9.7m. All four investments in Romania (Policolor SA, Top Factoring SRL and its sister company Glasro Holdings Limited, Mamaia Resort Hotels SRL and Albalact SA) continue to generate positive EBITDA and in the case of Glasro and Albalact free cash flow in the form of dividends. Klas DOO, the Serbian bakery, reported an improved valuation of EUR 0.3m, in part a result of RC2's exchange of half of its shareholder loans for a 40.9% shareholding in the company taking its overall stake to 52%.

Trading Programme

RC2 did not modify its positions in listed equities held under its Trading Programme in 2014. At the end of 2014, RC2's listed equities held under the Trading Programme had a total market value of EUR 0.3m. All of the investments held under the Trading Programme were in Romanian equities.

Outlook

Both the Romanian and Bulgarian economies which reported increases in GDP during 2014 of 2.9% and 1.7% respectively are expected to grow during 2015. Increased private consumption and recovering investment are expected to be the main drivers for Romania's GDP growth in 2015, whereas the Bulgarian economy would benefit from higher international demand resulting in higher net exports. In contrast, Serbia's economy is expected to languish with GDP expected to contract a further 0.5% in 2015 as the government tries to correct macro-economic imbalances.

Events after the reporting period

Effective 1 January 2015, New Europe Capital DOO (the Serbia-based investment adviser) and New Europe Capital Limited (the UK-based investment manager) ceased to work for RC2. RC2 continued to be advised by its Romania-based Adviser, New Europe Capital SRL.

New Europe Capital SRL

INVESTMENT POLICY

Private Equity Programme

Under the Private Equity Programme, the Company takes significant or controlling stakes in companies operating primarily in Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and neighbouring countries (the "Target Region"). The Company invests in investee companies where it believes New Europe Capital SRL (the "Adviser") can add value by implementing operational and/or financial restructuring over a 3 to 5 year horizon. The Company only makes an investment under the Private Equity Programme if its Adviser believes there is a clear exit strategy available, such as trade sale, break up and subsequent disposal of different divisions or assets, or flotation on a stock exchange.

Trading Programme

Under the Trading Programme, the Company aims to generate short and medium term returns by investing such portion of its assets as determined by the Directors from time to time in listed equities and fixed income securities, including convertible and other mezzanine instruments, issued by entities in the Target Region. The Trading Programme differs from the Private Equity Programme in the key respect that the Company will typically not take significant or controlling stakes in investee companies and will typically hold investments for shorter periods of time than investments made under the Private Equity Programme.

Value Creation

Under its Private Equity Programme, the Adviser is involved at board level in the investee company to seek to implement operational and financial changes to enhance returns. As part of the Company's pre-acquisition due diligence, the Adviser seeks to identify specific actions that it believes will create value in the target investee company post acquisition and, where appropriate, seek to work with third party professionals to develop, in combination with the proposed management team of the target, a value creation plan with clear and identifiable short and medium term targets. These plans are likely to address different parts of the business and are tailored to reflect the specific challenges of the relevant target company. The Adviser believes that the investment strategies under the Private Equity and Trading Programme can achieve returns which are different than the returns of the relevant market indices.

Investing Restrictions and Cross-Holdings

The Directors and the Adviser have sought to ensure that the portfolio of investments is sufficiently diversified to spread the risks of those investments. The Investment Strategy does not restrict the Company from investing in other closed-ended funds operating in the Target Region. In line with the Company's investment policy, the Board does not normally authorise any investment in a single investee company that is greater than 20 per cent of the Company's net asset value at the time of effecting the investment and in no circumstances will it approve an investment in a single investee company that is greater than 25 per cent of the Company's net asset value at the time of effecting the investment.

Change of investment objective and policy of the Company

Following the annual general meeting of the Company on 14 December 2012, the investment objective and policy of the Company were amended such that no new investments will be made. Further investments into existing portfolio companies will be permitted in certain circumstances pending their realisation and, following each realisation, all proceeds will be returned to Shareholders after paying outstanding liabilities and setting aside a sufficient amount for working capital purposes.

Gearing

The Company may borrow up to a maximum level of 30% of its gross assets (as defined in its articles).

Distribution Policy

The Company's investment objective is focused principally on the provision of capital growth. For further details of the Company's distribution policy, please refer to the Admission Document on the Company's website.
