Reconstruction Capital II Limited (the "Company")

Interim Unaudited Financial Statements

for the six months ended 30 June 2019

 

Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2", the "Company" or the "Group"), a closed-end investment company incorporated in the Cayman Islands admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, today announces its results for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

Copies of the company's interim financial statements will today be posted to shareholders. The interim report is also available on the Company's website http://www. reconstructioncapital2.com/.

Financial highlights

On 30 June 2019, Reconstruction Capital II Limited ("RC2") had a total unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of €30.3m or €0.2224 per share, which represents a 0.62% fall since the beginning of the year.

During the first half of the year, RC2 acquired 4,075,463 of its Ordinary Shares of nominal value €0.01 for a total consideration of € 0.65m. The shares were subsequently cancelled bringing the total shares in issue to 136,256,913.

As at 30 June 2019, RC2 had cash and cash equivalents of approximately €0.1m while its subsidiary, RC2 (Cyprus) Ltd, had cash and cash equivalents of € 2.21m. As at 30 June 2018, RC2 had sundry liabilities of € 0.11m.

Operational highlights

Policolor generated consolidated operating revenues of € 30.1m in the first half of 2019, down 9.2% year-on- year and 7.6% below budget. After a strong first quarter, Policolor's coatings sales weakened considerably in the second quarter, in part due to weak demand but also due to the difficulties in continuing to supply its full range of coatings prior to the opening of its new Bucharest factory. Over the first half of 2019, the Group generated recurring EBITDA (net of revenues and expenses allocated to the real estate division) of € 0.8m, significantly below the budgeted EBITDA of € 1.4m, mainly due to the lower coatings sales in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the construction of Policolor's new Bucharest factory and warehouse has progressed well over the quarter, with construction works having been finalized by the end of July, one month later than originally planned.

 Mamaia Resort Hotel's operating revenues over the first semester were € 0.7m, up 19.7% year-on-year but 4.7% below budget. The Hotel, which is highly seasonal, makes most of its revenues over the months of July and August. The re-decoration of the Hotel's beach-facing "Junona" wing bedrooms and the renovation of the kitchen, which started at the end of 2018, were finalized just before the 1st May holiday which is also the official start of the Romanian seaside's summer season. The six-month EBITDA loss of € -0.4m was worse than the budgeted loss of € -0.2m, due to the lower than expected revenues, but also higher salary expenses and the cost of certain renovation related works which were not initially budgeted.

Following the recruitment of a new CEO as part of its strategy to re-direct its business towards B2B lending, whilst continuing with pay day lending to the extent permitted by the more restrictive prudential regulations introduced by the National Bank of Romania, Telecredit started to finance SMEs in February, having granted € 1.2m as factoring services and microloans over the first half of 2019. The lending activity was further helped by the official launch of Omnicredit, Telecredit's SME financing dedicated online platform at the beginning of June. The book value of Telecredit's SME-focussed portfolio was €0.7m at the end of June, considerably better than the budgeted figure of € 0.5m. Meanwhile, as expected due to the regulatory restrictions on pay day loans which came into effect at the beginning of 2019, pay day lending activity continued to fall, with the book value of the pay day loan book down from € 0.4m at the end of March to € 0.2m at the end of June. At the end of April, RC2 (Cyprus) Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RC2, acquired 20% of Telecredit for € 185,000, thereby bringing its shareholding in Telecredit to 100%. At the end of June, in order to support the expansion of Telecredit's SME loan book, RC2 (Cyprus) Ltd made available to Telecredit a € 1m financing line, none of which was drawn until after the end of June.
