INVESTMENT MANAGER'S AND INVESTMENT ADVISOR'S REPORT
On 30 June 2014, Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2" or the Fund) had a total unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of EUR 35.4m or EUR 0.3542 per share, a 7.8% increase compared to the audited NAV at the end of December 2013. The increase in the NAV is mainly the result of a 40% increase in the Albalact SA share price over the first semester, as well as the receipt of EUR 1.5m of dividends from the Top Factoring Group.
In May, RC2 exchanged half its shareholder loan to Klas (the bakery division of East Point Holdings Ltd) amounting to EUR 1.3m for a 41% direct shareholding in the company. Consequently, RC2's direct shareholding in Klas has increased from 11% to 52%.
RC2 did not make any new investments under its Private Equity Programme, and continued to pursue a number of exits, both from the Fund's 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 41.3m at the end of June, up 8.7% since the 2013 year-end audit report, primarily due to the effect of the increase in the Albalact SA share price.
As at 30 June 2014, RC2's listed equities held under the Trading Programme had a total market value of EUR 0.3m, down 6% over the semester, due to lower prices of these investments on the local stock exchange. All the investments held under the Trading Programme were in Romanian equities.
Over the first half of the year, RC2 received EUR 1.5m in dividends from the Top Factoring Group, as well as EUR 0.6m from Mamaia Resort Hotels SRL pursuant to a loan made by RC2 which has now been repaid following a refinancing. RC2 also secured a bridge loan of EUR 6.75m from Ion Florescu, a Director of the Fund, of which EUR 5.75m was drawn at the end of June. The proceeds were used to repay accrued liabilities, including prior shareholder and director loans, as well as to provide working capital to the Fund.
At the end of June 2014, RC2 had cash and cash equivalents of approximately EUR 0.5m, borrowings of EUR 5.9m, and another EUR 2.3m of accrued liabilities to its service providers, including investment management and advisory fees.
RC2 has announced that it is planning to launch a EUR 9m convertible bond to refinance the bridge loan and provide working capital to the Fund.
