CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Alex Borrelli, Chairman of Ablon, commented:
“As Ablon’s newly appointed Chairman, I would firstly like to express my enthusiasm about the Group’s prospects and thank my predecessor Dennis Twining for his contribution over the years.
The first half of the year saw the completion of Ablon’s Viva Residence project in Prague and the successful completion and opening of Ablon’s first hotel development, operated by Marriott in the centre of Budapest.
Whilst market conditions in Central and Eastern Europe remain difficult, there is evidence that the Polish market is improving, as reflected by the positive negotiations of Ablon’s debt facility for further investment in Poland. However, until the banking sector improves and financing can be procured in all markets, Ablon remains in a holding pattern with regards to the execution of its development plans.
Nonetheless, Ablon’s underlying business remains solid, mainly due to the quality of its real estate portfolio, which has increased slightly in value in the latest external valuation report. Occupancy rates are showing signs of stabilisation. The balance sheet continues to be strong, with a relatively low level of gearing, but the Company is maintaining its defensive position to preserve cash and cut costs until the credit environment improves.
Ablon is therefore well positioned to benefit from the eventual improvement in its markets, its significant land bank is well located and will provide excellent opportunities in the long-term.”

Operational Review
Budapest
Occupancy Rate
Despite continuing difficult market conditions throughout the first half of 2010, the occupancy rate for Ablon’s Budapest portfolio only decreased by 2% in the six months to 30 June 2010 compared to 68% occupancy at 31 December 2009.
Completion and opening of Ablon’s first hotel development
The Group completed the development of its Europeum hotel project in the centre of Budapest. The 235-room hotel is Ablon’s first such development and is managed by Marriott Courtyard, under a 30-year contract. The site also includes an additional 5,500 square metres of retail space and 295 underground parking spaces. The company is in advance negotiations to lease the retail space.
Arbitration Court update
On 27 November 2009, Ablon’s wholly owned subsidiary, Global Center LLC (“Global Center”), was informed by its lawyer that a verdict issued by the Arbitration Court attached to the Hungarian Chamber Of Commerce And Industry obliged the Defendant, BVM Épelem Előregyártó és Szolgáltató Kft (“BVM”) to reimburse in 30 days HUF 4,988,000,000 as principal, plus due interest of approximately HUF 3,000,000,000 (approximately €29 million in aggregate). Details of this verdict were published by Ablon on 1 December 2009. On 1 February 2010, the Economic Department of the Budapest Municipal Court rejected a claim filed by BVM to annul a decision made by the Arbitration Court, and decided that the arbitration verdict issued on 27 November 2009 remained valid. Global Center is therefore following an execution process to collect the verdict amount. Following BVM’s request on 15 February 2010, between 8 March 2010 and 6 June 2010, BVM was under bankruptcy moratorium with the effect that all payments by BVM were suspended. Following the opening of the bankruptcy procedure, BVM submitted a supervisory request to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Hungary in respect of the judgment adopted on rejecting the annulment of the Arbitration Award. On 8 June 2010, the Supreme Court in Hungary suspended the execution of the verdict made by the Arbitration Court. The suspension will last until a material decision on BVM`s application for the cancellation of the said verdict has been reached.
Prague
Ablon completed the construction of its Viva Residence project in Prague. The project includes 162 apartments over occupying 10,800 square metres. 37 units were delivered to buyers in the period between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2010. As at 30 June 2010, 56 units had been sold.
Bucharest
The Company decided to stop any further marketing and construction of the first phase of the Sunset residential project in Timisoara blv. in Bucharest until the financial and market environment become more favourable.
Poland
Ablon’s developments in Poland are also on hold until market conditions improve.

Financial Review
Gross rental income
Gross rental income was €8.7 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, representing a decrease of €0.5 million, or 5.4%, from €9.2 million generated during the period ended 30 June 2009. This decrease is due to a reduced total tenant occupancy from 76.4% at 30 June 2009 to 66% at 30 June 2010. The main properties affected by a substantial decrease in rental income is BC30 from 97% occupancy at 30 June 2009 to 68% occupancy at 30 June 2010 and M3 BC which dropped from 33% occupancy at 30 June 2009 to 17% occupancy at 30 June 2010.
Residential sales income
Residential income was €5.3 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, compared to nil for the period ended 30 June 2009. The income is attributed to 37 units delivered to buyers at the Viva Residence project in Prague. As at the date of this announcement, the Group has sold 57 units out of 162 on this project (56 as at 30 June 2010).
Residential cost of sales
Residential cost of sales was €3.7 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, compared to nil for the period ended 30 June 2009. The cost of sales is attributed to the 37 units delivered to buyers at the Viva Residence project in Prague.
Hotel sales income
The Group booked €0.4 million income in the first 2 months of the Marriott Courtyard operations that started on 26 April 2010.
Hotel cost of sales
The hotel cost of sales were €0.9 million for the period ended 30 June 2010. The expenses include pre-opening costs, mainly to train the new hotel staff, and initial marketing expenses.
Net gain on fair value adjustment of investment property
Net gains on the fair value adjustment of investment property were €11.2 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, compared to €3.9 million gain generated during the period ended 30 June 2009. The main reason for the gain is exchange differences caused by a 5.6% depreciation of the Hungarian Forint from 270.84 HUF/EUR as at 31 December 2009 to 286.10 as at 30 June 2010 compared with the 2.8% depreciation in the first half of 2009 from 264.78 HUF/EUR as at 31 December 2008 to 272.20 as at 30 June 2009.
Impairment gain on inventory
Impairment gain on inventory for the period ended 30 June 2010 was €0.8 million, as a result of exchange gain as the Romanian currency depreciated by 3.3%.
Impairment gain on property, plant and equipment
Impairment gain on property, plant and equipment for the period ended 30 June 2010 was €4.1 million, as a result of market value adjustments to the hotel segment of the Europeum project. The valuation increased by approximately €8.0 million due to the completion and the successful opening of the Marriott Courtyard hotel.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were €0.4 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, an increase of €0.1 million, from €0.3 million in the first half of 2009.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses were €2.7 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, compared to €2.8 million for the period ended 30 June 2009.
Net financing expense
Net financing expenses were €17.6 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, an increase of €4.8 million, compared to an expense of €12.8 million for the period ended 30 June 2009. The increase in financial expenses is primarily due to higher depreciation of the Hungarian currency in the first six months of 2010, than in the first six months of 2009, which amounted to 5.6% and 2.8% respectively.
Current income tax
Current income tax was €0.4 million for the period ended 30 June 2010, an increase of €0.2 million, from €0.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2009.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax increased by €2.9 million from a €1.6 million income for the six months period ended 30 June 2009 to an expense of €1.3 million for the period ended 30 June 2010. Deferred income tax increased due to revaluation gain on properties.
Balance Sheet Overview
Investment property
Investment property was €379.5 million as at 30 June 2010, from €379.8 million as at 31 December 2009.
Property, plant and equipment
Property plant and equipment increased by €2.9 million from €30.2 million at 31 December 2009 to €33.1 million at 30 June 2010. The increase is due to a €4.2 million impairment gain caused by an increased valuation due to the completion and successful opening of the Marriott Courtyard hotel.
Long-term inventory
Long-term inventory decreased by €0.3 million from €53.3 million at 31 December 2009 to €53 million at 30 June 2010.
Current assets
Current assets include inventories (in particular, property intended for sale), current receivables (rent receivables, receivables from property sales, and receivables from shareholders) and other assets, bank balances and cash. Total current assets decreased by €11.3 million from €39.8 million at 31 December 2009 to €28.5 million at 30 June 2010. The decrease was primarily due to an €8.1 million decrease in cash and financial securities as a result of construction expenditure mainly to complete the Viva Residence and Europeum projects, amortisation of loans and reduced rental income. In addition, there was a €2.6 million decrease in short-term inventory due to delivery of 37 residential units to buyers at the Viva Residence project in Prague.
Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities include long-term borrowings from commercial banks and shareholders, as well as deferred tax liabilities for future tax obligations. Total non-current liabilities increased by €2.9 million from €210.9 million as at 31 December 2009 to €213.8 million as at 30 June 2010. This was primarily due to a €3 million increase in long-term loans as a result of refinancing one of the Group’s short-term loans into a long-term loan.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities decreased by €11.5 million from €83.9 million at 31 December 2009 to €72.4 million at 30 June 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a €6.5 million decrease of trade and other payables in connection with the completions of the construction on the Viva Residence and Europeum projects, and a €5.2 million decrease of short-term loans due to refinancing one of the Group’s short-term loan to a long-term loan.
Liquidity and capital resources
The Group’s liquidity and capital resources come from operations, rental income and the sale of apartments. The Group finances its development activity with bank loans.
The Company’s loan to value ratio was 46% at 30 June 2010, a decrease of 1% from 31 December 2009. The decrease is due the completion of the Europeum project which contributed to an increase in the total assets valuation to €527.0 million and amortization of long-term loans.
Due to the unprecedented global economic downturn that has had a particularly severe impact on the economies of Central and Eastern European countries where Ablon operates, the Group has experienced difficulties in applying for new loans in order to finance the construction of new projects. Other than in Poland, there are no early signs of improvement in the banking sector. For the present time, therefore, the Group is not in a position to execute its development plan until the banking sector improves and a sufficient amount of finance can be procured.
Even though the Group managed to extend the loans which expired in 2009, if the economic downturn does not recede, the Group may also face problems in renewing certain short-term loans that are due to mature in the coming year. That said, the Group does have 10 properties with an appraised value of €82.0 million with no debt. There are five loans with loan-to-value (“LTV”) and Interest Service Cover (“ISC”) covenants. One has an 80% LTV covenant and, based on the most recent valuation at 30 June 2010, the Group is technically in breach of this covenant although the lender hasn’t issued a default notice and the Group is working closely with the lender to find a solution to this issue. Another loan has a debt-service coverage ratio covenant and the Group is currently in breach of this covenant and, in order to resolve the situation, the lender has asked the subsidiary involved to deposit EUR 300,000 into a special reserve account until such time as the covenant ceases to be breached. Two of the other loans have a 75% LTV requirement and, based on the latest valuations, the Company is comfortably within that covenant. A remaining loan has a 71% LTV covenant and, based on the latest valuations, the Company is within that covenant. The Group is actively seeking to increase liquidity, by marketing properties for sale, applying for new loans and by cutting expenses across the business.
Net Asset Value (“NAV”)
The Company's real estate assets were valued on 30 June 2010 at €527.0 million (for its share) by external independent appraisers (GVA and King Sturge), in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The following table demonstrates the calculation of Adjusted Net Asset Value based on the GVA and King Sturge valuation report and the Company's financial statements as at 30 June 2010:

Dividend Policy
As explained in the Company's AIM admission document, the Company has adopted a dividend policy that will reflect long-term earnings and cash flow potential while at the same time maintaining both prudent dividend cover and adequate capital resources within the business.
As a result of prevailing continued uncertainty in the economic outlook of Ablon’s markets, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided it would not be prudent to recommend the payment of a dividend for the current year.
Ablon has taken this step to support the Company’s initiatives to preserve cash during the current challenging market environment. The Board of Directors of the Company believe that shareholders’ interests will be better served by retaining its earnings to improve the Company's working capital position. The Company cannot at this stage indicate when it will pay its next dividend.
Disclosure of information to auditors
So far as each of the Directors is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware, and each of the Directors has taken all the steps required to have been taken as a Director to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.
Appendix 1
Statement of Directors’ responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and applicable law.
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, 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 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 accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2010 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”).
These financial statements are not intended to be used for statutory filing purposes.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 of August, 2010.
(b) Basis of measurement
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
- investment property is measured at fair value
- financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value
The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in the accounting policy published in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The financial statements are prepared based on going concern assumption. The management constantly monitors the Group’s financial position and believes that cash inflows are sufficient to cover the expected cash outflows in the next 12 months. The loans of the subsidiaries, except for one case, do not have collaterals influencing Ablon Group Limited. itself, so even if a subsidiary may cease to be in going concern status, it does not have an effect on the going concern status of the Group.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currencies of the Group’s entities are the currencies of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The following functional currencies are used:Hungarian Forint (HUF) in Hungary, Czech Crowns (CZK) in the Czech Republic, Polish Zloty (PLN) in Poland, Romanian Lei (RON) in Romania, Croatian Kune (HRK) in Croatia and euro (EUR) in Cyprus.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euro, which is the Group’s presentation currency. All information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements is included in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Group.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies as described in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Group have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
4. Segment information
The following segment information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 8, “Operating Segments” on the basis of the internal reports about components of the entity. Internal reports for the Group are based on IFRS.
Operating segments
The Group determines three different operating segments based on the functionality of investment properties:
1. commercial segment
2. residential segment
3. hotel segment
Commercial segment contains buildings built for the Group for the purpose of earning rental income, residential segment contains buildings constructed to private individuals for immediate sale after completion, hotel segment contains buildings held for operations as a hotel.
All the Group’s activities and assets are located in Central and Eastern Europe.
Segment assets include all operating assets used by a segment and consist primarily of investment property, property plant and equipment, inventories and receivables. While most such assets can be directly attributed to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis.
Segment liabilities include loans, all operating liabilities and consist primarily of accounts payable, wages and accrued liabilities. Unallocated liabilities mainly comprise deferred tax liabilities.
Additions to non-current assets comprises additions to investment property (Note 6) and property, plant and equipment (Note 7).

5. Investment property
Investment property is presented in the statement of financial position using the fair value model. The 98% of the fair value of investment properties were based on independent valuation reports dated 30 June 2010.
